Every day, excessive delays and denials from big insurers keep patients from accessing the care they need, and when care is urgent, these delays can be disastrous. These practices cost billions in wasteful spending, driving up costs for American families, but while big insurers put up barriers, America's hospitals and health systems are in your corner, navigating endless reviews and appeals to get you the care you need when you need it most. It's time to curb these harmful practices and put the focus back on patients, brought to you by the Coalition to Strength in America's Health Care. What is going on, Crisis Actors? It is episode 2012 of Pop Culture Crisis. My goodness,

that is, it gets weirder every day to say that you've done that many episodes of something, but here we are. My name is Brett Everybody. I am here with my guest co-host for the day. He forgot his laptop. He should do self-serve. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil LeBond, I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All the Remains on Ants. I come in on a revolutionary, and I did forget my laptop. I was in a rush to get out of the house today because I had to come early, so that way Brett could get the picture for the thumbnail, and so he's running around, he got a little baby at home constantly making noise and stuff. Things get overlooked. That's going to be outsourced to AI soon. I'm just going to be like, Grock, tell me what Phil looks like today, and it will search through, I don't know, metadata to put together. It's like, well, on Thursday, Phil typically wears a gray shirt, so we're going to, that's what's going to happen. It'd be a neat trick. I mean, look, the more you can offload your workload to a computer, the better it is. Guys, hit the like button on this video, subscribe to the channel if you are new here, and you have not subscribed here yet already. Please

and thank you. It's just the two of us today, but I suppose that technically still means boys, boys, boys, boys. Exactly. Wait, which version of that are you singing? I was thinking the original. Okay, I was thinking of the Will Smith version. Oh, yeah, I don't, I'm a generally I'm a Will Smith fan, but the one that popped in my head was the original. Have you seen the videos that are made now about how you track AI progress by Will Smith eating spaghetti? Yeah, that's legitimately true. And to think about two years ago, is when the creepy, weird, you know, disappearing spaghetti, whereas mouth was sometimes it was on the side of his face, where like it was a pop eye cartoon just two years ago. And now they're basically indistinguishable. Well, we've got AI to talk about today. I found something that I think you might find very interesting guys, but like I said, hit the like button on the video, subscribe to the channel if you are new here, and you have not subscribed here yet already. Also, remember guys, channel memberships for PCC on YouTube are in fact open. I did yesterday

put out my very first piece of bonus content, me in verbal riot, who is another fantastic dude over on YouTube here. He and I talked about all sorts of things. We got into DC studios. We talked about the future James Gunn has there with what is going on right now with the sale of Warner Brothers to Paramount. We talked about Marvel. We both talked about Wonder Man, which is a show we both actually really enjoy, but we also discussed what the pitfalls of the upcoming Marvel movies are. Both of us seem to think that the new Spider-Man movie is about the only one that is a sure thing. We got into a whole bunch of other stuff. So if you are not yet a member of the PCC YouTube channel, you can join and get a membership and get access to bonus content like that episode that I put up yesterday. Also, we have a bunch of emojis available for you guys in the chat. There is one a fill in there already. We made sure to to put that up. So if you go into the chat, ladies and gentlemen, you are a channel member. You can put fill up, but it's judgmental fill. It's called. There you go. You look judgmental in it. I generally am. So we got a couple of $20 superchats here. All ready. Yes. Shaney Wilder. And as always,

guys, let's give a preface that my reading is of course always horrible. So when it's bad, you know that it's bad. Don't blame me. Blame the American K through 12 education system. It was their fault, not mine. That's something else you can offload day. I don't like it. Shaney Wilder says, Happy Thrashing Thursday, Bretton Phil. I'm going to try and do a video on the importance of physical media this weekend. I had a song stuck in my head and it was not streaming. So I had to buy a UCD off of Amazon to hear it. There are songs that are not streaming. That's kind of crazy. Like I understand that there are shows that are not streaming. Like that happens all the time. Like you check all your streaming services. The only one that has it is for rent on Amazon and it costs a fortune. Though I did actually post something yesterday. There's a show I really liked called in plain sight. It is a lot of fun. But the funny thing about it was is it used to be on Amazon Prime back in like the mid 2010s or whatever. And they got rid of it probably back in like 2017. Probably if I had to guess it's probably the last time I watched

when they reintroduced it on Prime as something that you can watch without having to pay for. It remembered the episode number I left off on. It was almost a decade ago. You know, this this topic brings up a good point. If there is something that you actually do really like, it is still worth getting a physical copy because as long as you're buying a rental essentially like you're you're buying space at whatever your favorite video or music distribution company is as long as you're renting that song from them because you don't own it. There is a possibility that it will go away whether it be because of lack of people listening to it or what have you licensing go out and buy physical copies of things you like. Even if that means downloading the song onto your computer. Oh yeah. That's what I do with my show. It's like I have an MB server that has a bunch of stuff that I bought. We'll say I bought them purchased from ad free toby and put them on an MB server so that I can watch it. Most of them it's like I have the streaming

services. Right. So most of them are shows that are just ones that are not available on those. So all right. We got another 20 here from boat bandy says, oh hey, it's fill up of the group everything that's left. Hope all as well with you and your offspring is healthy. Yeah. He's great. He's four months old now and he's decided that he doesn't like sleeping at all. So it's rough. It's it's rough today. Like last night I got back from got back home after the show after IRL and I was my girlfriend was just basically at her wits end and I was like go to bed. I'll take him so I just grabbed him and took him and I stayed up most of the night and then around six o'clock this morning I went to bed and I got up at noon. Yeah. Yeah. That's that was me. So in our family from what my parents said, my brother slept through everything. Never never was awake. I was always awake. Never slept. Theo. I don't I don't know what his deal is. He's just he's such a light sleeper. I put him down like if you put him in the crib and you're not like so I've got bad ankles and they crack all the time. Oh me too. And elbows. Yeah. And so like I will literally try to walk out of

the room. I'll hear a snap for my ankle and the kid will wake up and I'm like your body is failing. Yeah. Exactly. You know. All right. Guys, we got a bunch of others. We got a bunch of stuff to get into today. We're going to talk about Britney Spears. She has been arrested and subsequently released. She got a DUI. We're going to talk about it. I'm going to ask Phil perhaps some esoteric questions of what it means to be that know of a certain level of fame and what it does to certain people. So we will get into it. I also want to talk about Henry Cavill. This interview resurfaced. I if I remember correctly and somebody can fact check me if I'm wrong. There's this old interview with Millie Bobby Brown where she talked about the boundaries that Henry Cavill set when they were on the set of the movie Anola Holmes together. They did one and two. I think a third one's coming out or maybe it already did come out. The point being that he put boundaries in place because she was a minor. She was 15 years old and he basically said you can't ask me any personal questions. You have to, you know, it has to be strictly professional for us and people on the internet are somehow trying to drag him and make the fact that he set boundaries with her when she

was a minor as something creepy. What he did was a preemptive strike against the crazy feminists and the Me Too movement and why they're upset because he took himself out of danger by saying you, I'm setting these boundaries and it's a similar thing that happened to Mike Pence. They made a big stink because he was like I don't go into places with women that are not my wife. I don't go to dinner and do that kind of stuff. So he is taking basically taking that piece off the game board protecting himself and they're mad because they are no longer able to use that vector of attack. They're the most nefarious human beings honored. He has past comments basically along those lines for me too. So we'll get into all that. We'll talk about it. Also the burger wars. It's the only war that I am currently for in the United States of America. Everyone's talking about Iran. Everyone's talking about America. Israel. I'm talking about McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and now A&W. I want to talk about all of the CEOs getting together to basically prove that

Americans are easily distracted by slop. Then we will get into it because now RFK Jr is coming out and saying that the United States of America is going to put a bunch of money into teaching Americans how to cook again and help them get cooking utensils because they spend all their money on fast food. There's a great idea I just had. So you know how TikTok is now a property of a United States company. The federal government should just tell TikTok to adjust the algorithm so all of the cooking TikToks go into people's feeds regularly so that way they're inspired to learn. Maybe that's what will happen. Apparently the racial rays of the world just don't work anymore. So we'll talk about that. It takes a long time. People don't have time for that. They got to swipe to the next one and your TV. You can't swipe your TV yet. Well they're already pushing for, I know that YouTube and Instagram are now going all in on making sure that you can watch like Instagram on your television. Like vertical video on your TV. That makes sense. I'm not

surprised. Because I mean YouTube has shorts on their TV on your TV if you want. Which is it's a weirder. I've never done it but it's I go through phases where I get stuck on shorts or I can definitely, so if you guys don't use a lot of like YouTube mobile. If you if you look at enough shorts in a row when you reopen YouTube it will be on shorts and just immediately start playing.

Another checkered flag for the time to celebrate with Jamba. Jump in at JambaCasino.com. Let's Jamba. No purchase necessary. VTW Group. Boy, we're prohibited by law. CTNC is 21 plus sponsored by Jamba Casino. Whereas if you're watching regular videos and you reopen it will open to thumbnails and then pre-rolling videos. So we'll get into all that. We're also going to talk about Paramount,

Ellison D'Arrangement Syndrome, and a bunch of Hollywood celebrities that are now suddenly clutching their pearls. They're very expensive pearls. I have no doubt about the idea of somebody in Hollywood, some executive, possibly using his influence to push a political message, which is of course absurd given the fact that the great majority of those in Hollywood were always red. As Razor Fist said, they were always communists. We'll talk about it a little bit. I've got a particular quote from Jamie Lee Curtis where to her credits, she seemed to be really fighting like worse than I fight to try and make a coherent sentence. So I understand what that's like. I struggle as well to put together coherent thoughts. So we've got that. We've got a bunch of other stuff. If you're ready to go, Phil, we can go. Are you ready? Let's go. Let's go for it. Let's talk about Britney Spears. Britney Spears is an absolute legend in Hollywood. Here's the problem. She has been in what people perceive as one of the most ultimate downward spirals that have been going on ever since the free Britney movement

actually freed her back in 2021. Since then, it's been this, it's just been a bunch of weird dance videos, juggling knives, all sorts of drama between her and her family, and a lot of people are wondering if that conservatorship perhaps wasn't the worst idea in the world. I think that there seems to be a lot of evidence every day that that actually wasn't necessarily the worst thing for her, but having not known her personally can't speak to it. But I do know that things keep happening. She had a DUI. She got arrested on Wednesday night in Ventura, California, according to Variety. The singer was handcuffed by the California Highway Patrol around 9.30 pm, and booked early Thursday morning around 3am according to an arrest record. She has since been released in scheduled appearing court on May 4th. She recently sold her entire song catalog in a number of her rights away to primary wave. That was back in January, and she wrote a since deleted Instagram post where she said she will never perform in the U.S. again because of extremely sensitive reasons. She goes on and basically her own agent in manager had to make a statement about this

because she was taken to the hospital after the DUI stop, and they're basically saying that there has to be long overdue changes for her, which if you've ever had trouble with the law, feels like they're posturing for a judge to look favorably upon her if something happens. I don't think anything is going to happen to Rich Britney Spears when it comes to a DUI. Not in any really meaningful way, but she has since deactivated her Instagram account once again since all of this happened. This is probably a good idea. Yeah, and says so she was taken to the hospital. She blew a .06, which is actually under the legal limit in the state of California, but from what I understand, you don't have to be over the legal limit to be arrested for any of this. All they have to do is perceive that your driving is impaired. Yes, and that does actually make sense. I know that people kind of might get up in arms about this, but I don't know exactly how tall Britney Spears is, but I am under the impression that she's not a large woman. No, no, no. And so just because her blood alcohol is .6 doesn't mean that she's not impaired, right? Like people are different and

different amounts of alcohol affect people differently. We don't know what other kind of medication she was on. So it's completely reasonable to think that she was impaired even though her blood alcohol level was below the limit. No, I don't think she should get a, I'm not sure that she should get a driving while intoxicated. Because do you want, can you, do you know the difference? Do you why and DWI are different, right? I don't know for sure. Somebody in the chat probably, this is one of those things that I know somebody knows, but from what I understand, DWI and DWI are different things. They have different designations. This is what her manager Cade Hudson told TMZ. Cade Hudson the Cade Hudson with a D. This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Brittany is going to take the right steps and comply with the law. And hopefully, this can be the first step in a long overdue change that needs to occur in Brittany's life. Well, you should be working to do that before she gets in trouble, Cade. You want to keep your client alive as long as possible. Otherwise, you won't be making your commission checks. Hopefully she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time. Cade adds,

her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to be coming up with an overdue needed with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success and well-being. The thing is, you can tell me if I'm wrong about this. When you're somebody, let's pretend like everything that's ever happened to her, all of the perceived abuse, whatever it is, doesn't happen. And she's merely just somebody who is very successful in the music industry for a long time, but is since retired from performing. It's absolutely true that for high functioning individuals, when they suddenly don't have a purpose in life, they tend to spiral. It's like when pro-athletes retire. A lot of times, they fall deeply into things like drinking and drugs because they're filling a hole that used to be filled by practice and conditioning and working towards a goal. Yeah, so I just asked Tank, if DUI and DWR are the same. He says that the same concept driving, under the influence of driving while intoxicated is the same. In California, specifically,

they're the same charge. California uses DUI as the standard term for everything, not meaningful legal distinction between the two three, between the two there. I'm sorry. Specifics is standard DUI, blood alcohol content, 0.08 or higher or impaired by drugs, alcohol regardless of blood alcohol content. So it doesn't matter that she had, that she blew beneath if she, if they perceived her as being intoxicated, then they're just like, all right, we're going to take in. Do you think a big part of this could be just the fact that she's not working towards tours, she's not performing anymore? Because this is also true, you can confirm this, I'm sure, that for a lot of people, pro wrestlers will say once they retire that there's nothing like working in front of a live crowd, that it becomes addicting in a way to need that sort of, not validation, but that rush that comes from performing. Do you think that for her, she maybe doesn't even realize she needs something like a goal to work towards? Like you were saying, working towards a goal is a big part of it, right? Like if you kind of, if you have a, if you have a low goal, right?

And not that, not that being an entertainer that, you know, that does that for a living is a low, very achievable goal because it's not. It's actually really, really hard to, to build a career in the entertainment industry just about anywhere. But if you have a goal that's got a reasonable threshold, once you meet it, once you get there, you're kind of like, all right, well, I can kind of sit back on my laurels now, you know, and what do I do now? Yeah, exactly. It's like how do I kind of still have that same, the same, how do I focus my energy in a way that's going to give me something to do essentially? So I think that some people handle it better than others, but drugs and alcohol are definitely something that fills that spot for a lot of people. Who was, I just saw some story the other day of like a rock star who says that he beat heroin by doing crank. That was a Billy Idol, Billy Idol, beat heroin by smoking by smoking crack. I mean, that's the problem though. Like,

you know, you get to hung up on the substances. It's not a good thing. But this was the other thing that I'm worried about. So, you know, Britney Spears is of a certain level of fame that very few people in the world will ever actually attain, right? She has stories like this that she has to deal with. Britney Spears gets a restraining order against a Louisiana man. Now, this is like a lifetime restraining order from which I've been told a permanent restraining order is not super easy to get. She's been granted a permanent restraining order against a Louisiana man after her security team says that she showed up at her LA home and it was behind numerous disturbing social media posts about the pop star. The singer filed the court documents against a 51 year old man named Donald whom she claimed has been harassing her online since 2013 and was arrested for trespassing her property in 2025. So, on top of already being kind of a mess, on top of having strained relationships with her. I said, kind of a mess. Like, you're a very kind person. You know, kind of a mess. I guess it depends on how you clarify mess when you're somebody that's

that successful. Your basic needs are met. You have a home. You have a car. You have food. Messes, kind of dancing videos on Instagram with knives with kitchen knives. Supposedly fake knives. The sound didn't really indicate fake to me, but whatever that situation is, that still puts you, I think, firmly into the mess category. Yeah, especially because she was like wearing underwear. She wasn't like choreographed and with lighting instead of it was just like, I want to do this in my house and you're just like, oh, you're like Star Wars kid. And her, it always looks like she's got like a phone as old as mine. Like, it's never like a 4K phone video. It looks really, really, and you know what it looks like? It looks like when me and Android user receives a video from an iPhone user and it's really grainy. Like, that's what all our videos look like, right? I was like, if she shot this on like a nice camera, yeah, it'd be absurd, but it would look like avant-garde, weird art rather than just, you know, somebody on a bender in their home going through something like this. But it's hard to imagine that somebody like her doesn't feel the need to kind of get

away from it all when you have stalkers, when you have constant issues with her family. She's trying to rebuild her relationship with her sons. I think it's Jaden and her other son is Sean, and she's reestablished a decent relationship with Jaden, but Sean is a little bit more hesitant because they are those kids. They're teenagers. They're, they're, like, late teens early 20s now.

Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians.

Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. Like they're going off to college and stuff like that. There's, there's money concerns with all of that because their dad, their dad's Kevin Federline was getting money from her while they were under 18. So a lot of people perceive the suns as kind of only coming back into her life because they were no longer giving money from her. Who do you, like, who can you trust? Like I said, her manager, I was like, your manager's first goal should be to keep you happy, healthy, and alive if for the most pragmatic and kind of cynical reason that they will make more money off you longer if you're alive. When's the last time that you performed? 2018 I think like that. I think that was when her I think that was something something correct me if I'm wrong about that. I thought I read that I'm not going to make claims to that. But I think that was when her last residency was and she like she said recently she said that she's not going to work in the US anymore. She doesn't want to perform here whether that's actually going to happen or not. Like for her I imagine it would take a hefty payday for her to come back. I wonder if maybe in this was something

I actually had I had a thought on its face that maybe that Netflix could do the same way that they bring back like ex-fighters for like one-off bouts is to bring back like rare performers for like pre-recorded live events that maybe it's not the greatest in person but people would still pay a hefty sum to go and see Britney Spears again for the first time in a long time. But gives them the power to edit it so they can release it on Netflix as a special as like some type of attraction because it was like Floyd Mayweather's coming out of retirement again. Yeah. Is it who's he fighting? Is he fighting? Pat? Was it Pacquiao? Maybe. It was like it was it was another one of these fights that everybody knows is an exhibition but they're going to claim it's not an exhibition and they never go the way they do. I don't mean it's Tyson. I don't know who is something going on. I think it might have been Tyson. That's I love that though. I think Mike Tyson is I'd love Mike Tyson. I still so my earliest memories of Mike Tyson was I was I was born in 86 so I was young when he was in his prime. But we had a VHS at home called Great Sports Moments of the 80s

that I watched repeatedly and had a whole section on Mike Tyson knocking people out. He was an absolutely terrifying man. I mean nowadays he's still frightening. Yeah. Like you watch him train at 59 years old and it's like all right yeah I definitely don't want him to punch me because he will knock my head literally off of my body. Have you seen that meme of like Mike Tyson with like all the white powder here and so yeah Tyson enjoying a powdered donut at the house party in 1992 or something. That definitely powdered donut. So what do you think? What should he's not a police officer? Yes exactly. What what do you think Britney Spears should do? Do you think that she would benefit from going back and performing again as a musician? I think that she would benefit from the kind of structure necessary to perform because you like when you go back on the road you have to start training again. You have to get your breath back. Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean I've already started doing rehearsals and stuff at the house. So I'll be in the you know in my office just screaming my head off. I've got a whole the same exact rig that I run on on tour. I've got you know a mobile one

that I can pack up and I bring that you know put it set it up downstairs. I've got Pro Tools set up on my computer. So I just run the the the actual set that we're going to do through the Pro Tools rig. I've got everything that that I hear on stage all the clicks all the how long is a show for you? Like is one of your shows? Usually we do about an hour depending depending on what we're doing. So it'll probably be about an hour and 10 minutes or so. That sounds intense. Yeah I mean look man I'm up there yellow. It's not it's it's not like you know getting up and standing in one place. Absolutely. So I have done solo episodes here like just where I talk for an hour in 20 minutes and after the first one I realized I had to slow down my rate of speed. Yeah because by by segment two first of my voice was going. Yeah. Because I'm already as everybody knows I'm very very fast paced when I talk it's very annoying. But when I do segments at home I can do 15 20 minutes and that's fine. Yeah. I can rant about something for 20 minutes hit click and I'm I'm in the same shape and I'm done. But the idea mentally of going for another 40 minutes

doing that is insane. And you're doing it for over that while moving and standing in one and and also like the to use the muscles in your face and throat necessary to like hit notes and actually because you have to hit you have to hit the notes you can't just like you can't just be kind of around them you actually have to be you know you actually have to be in key and stuff so that that does take a significant amount of of actual physical effort. So your diaphragm gets tired you know if I don't if I'm not rehearsing you know a decent amount out from the tour you know buy around 45 minutes I'm gasped and I'm like we've got another you know 30 minutes or 20 minutes of songs to play you know basically like being in so stage shape is like pro wrestlers would talk about this we're like if they go part-time they they're just gasped immediately because they have to be doing it consistently. Yep. Otherwise they're not in what they call a ring shape. Yeah you if I'm not like if I'm not spending like the last three weeks I'm are going to be really intense but I've already started doing doing rehearsals and stuff so

I'm going to when I get we get back from actually not the last three weeks the last month five weeks when I get back from from the the trip that we're doing I don't think Tim is actually announced where we're going and stuff so but when I get back from the the trip that we're doing it'll be the last week in in March so I'm going to do the last week in March and then all of April I'll be practicing at least at least four or five times a week I'll be doing it alone for three weeks and then when I head up to New England in April this to do rehearsals with the band it'll be you know probably three or four times a week or rehearsing until the tour starts and even the days where like when the crew comes in I think the crew come in I think three days before the tour starts I'll do rehearsals on my own without the band there because the crew starts breaking our stuff down make sure that our gears all working make sure if there's anything we need we can go ahead and get it shipped overnight or whatever from sweet water whoever has it so that way we have all the stuff we need before we pack it all up and get into the into the bus. I remember when I think I've told this story before I watched this interview where Stone Cold Steve Austin talked about like the

moments he was like most proud of in his matches and one of them he said was I after he came back from his neck surgery broke his neck still wrestled for like two years and then finally had to have like neck fusion surgery said that the most important moment of his first WrestleMania match back against the rock was after he beat him he immediately stood up and wasn't out of breath after like 27 minutes in the ring of non-stop movement that he was not gassed he was in really really good shape and he was just like it was a testament to like the amount of work it took to get back into shape to do that after such a heavy surgery. Yeah like I said I mean the the initial plan was to actually start really hitting it hard this month but because of the the events that are coming I'm gonna have to take that kind of two weeks where I'm not doing it but I'm hoping that there's an LA fitness around so I can go and at least do cardio while I'm while I'm a waist because I have to get my you know get my lung capacity up make sure that I've got the you know I'm not gassed when I when I get out there you know Britney Spears I think she needs to go back on the road and start performing yeah I think it would be good. Well and another thing is like when it comes to you

know something like Britney Spears like because of her financial situation she's gonna have like a trainer and and probably choreographer so she'll she'll probably train for six months before the tour starts right like she'll start doing just just doing exercising and start learning the dance because there it's all the whole things choreographed so every night it'll be the same so she'll probably it'll probably take it would probably take her six months to get everything done choreographed she'll figure out the things she likes the things she doesn't like and they'll make the changes but just that structure and doing it you know whatever whatever she does four or five times a week it gives you something to focus on so that way you know if she is indulging in substances you know there will be other things to preoccupy her mind as opposed to hey I can drink what have you Britney listen to us go back out on tour it's gonna be good for you I'm telling you listen listen to us we are we are right here all right let's move on let's talk about Milly Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill because Henry Cavill this this quote is crazy the response to this is crazy and somebody can let me know down below because they'll know actually better than me if you're a

fan of the channel I believe we covered this story initially when this interview came out people thought it was a matter of interest what Milly Bobby Brown was saying about how Henry Cavill behaved on the set of Anola Holmes but the response that I'm seeing in these reposts is very very fascinating they are trying to paint Henry Cavill in a negative light because he set firm boundaries with Milly Bobby Brown when they work together on the initial Anola Holmes because she was 15 years old and he was an adult and he thought that you know for the most part he has to have a private life and it's not her place to know what's going on in his private life this is what it said Milly Bobby Brown says that when she worked with Henry Cavill on Anola Holmes he set very clear boundaries because she was only 15 at the time and he wanted to keep their relationships strictly professional in an interview Milly explained that Cavill had quote terms and conditions joking that whenever she tried to ask him about his personal life he would quickly shut it down and say with a simple Milly no to which she would reply understood she said she said she actually respected

that a lot describing him as someone who is naturally more private and reserved she also noted that their dynamic felt more adult and professional compared to the playful friendship she had with her stranger things castmates well I mean there's like adult and child castmates on stranger things so I don't know if she's talking about like David Harbor or if she's talking about Finn Wolfhard so there's not really any you know quote there about that she emphasized that Cavill's approach helped maintain a respectful and appropriate working environment when they film together and one of the first responses I thought saw that was really funny Aaron Sparrow said while that being appropriate with the child is newsworthy but then again it is Hollywood look the I think the the big takeaway for this is they don't care about sexual assault they care about being able to attack the point is yeah it's a vector of attack it's not they care about the victims it's not they care about sexual assault it is we can use this as a vector of attack we want to be able to attack

you so when you take that piece off the board when you remove yourself from the from a position where you could be made vulnerable they hate it and it's the the exact same kind of argument well it's the exact same thought process that people had when Mike Pence said I don't go to dinner with women and then it's like oh well what you can't trust yourself you can't do this and as if Mike Pence saying I don't put myself in positions where I could be be the compromising positions is probably a good way I don't put myself in compromising positions and so people attack him for that because it's not about what they think it's about or what they say it's about it's about wanting to be able to attack a person so they don't attack him for actually performing you know having having a sexual assault or whatever or attempting a sexual assault what they attack attack them for is being a creep or a weirdo because oh you should be able to go out and be in a situation without doing that and if you can't then you're weird and blah blah blah blah it's all BS it's all about

being able to attack men they don't like and Henry Cavill is kind of like the apex guy they don't like right like he's an attractive guy he's huge he's extremely successful he's he's also not woke if all all indications are private enough that he doesn't like you don't really know one way or the I don't believe that a woke people like 40k that that's fair but they don't like war hammers yeah they don't like war hammer war hammer has been successful in keeping them out because they're kind of no good guys I'm not a not extremely well versed in war hammers in war hammer lore but all the stuff that I hear it's like basically everybody's a fascist so there's no one that the left can kind of decide that they like they side with like magic gathering when orcs became racist yeah you know they can't they can't do anything with it because they're all just whether you're into unsolved mysteries solved mysteries or creating your own mysteries Amazon music's got millions of podcast episodes waiting just download the Amazon music app and

tell you why Henry cable takes this position and it goes all the way back to the year 2018 when he first got me to what they call me to backlash because of quotes that he had made and he did apologize for this but this was his initial quote i think woman should be wooed and chased but maybe i'm old fashioned for thinking that way it's very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place because then it's like well i don't want to go up and talk to her because i'm going to be called a rapist or something um if Henry cable has that concern that you and i my friends have absolutely no chance yep whatsoever i i apologize for that but it is the truth he did however apologize for these comments which is peak 2018 Hollywood that somebody would apologize for something so benign but that is the reason why they've taken so negatively to him for such a long time and i'm going to read you some of the quote tweets about this like i said they are treating this as some type of confession for him of bad behavior this person said another talking about millie bobby brown here so go with me on this her not being able to spot when

adult men have said something really weird to her is so peak for them because she just talks about it in interviews like it's fine and cute and then everyone else who sees it is like um what the actual f this and the drake thing now this person is right about the drake thing because it was weird as hell that drake was texting millie bobby brown when she was like 13 years old but as to the rest of us i don't think anybody in their right mind sees setting boundaries with an underage co-worker because hollywood is one of those weird places where adults in their 30s work side by side with people who are teenagers or under or underage and hollywood has long been known for not taking care of their underage performers because hollywood is generally a pretty despicable place yeah i mean look again setting boundaries is always acceptable don't don't listen to any of this siop men protect your virtue it used to be where women had to protect their virtue but nowadays

it's men young men don't pay no mind to them hose hey man put the foot down tell them that you're not interested and don't let them put you in a position where they can attack you because that's exactly what they want they want you vulnerable and they will use your libido as a vector of attack don't mind them hose couple of 20s here from coriander senses today is my son's 18th birthday happy birthday kid happy birthday here i apologize korey sent me another he says did you read my previous 20 dollar super chat you really do need married don't you while i apologize that i'm running this whole thing by my loan sum if you want to come here and do the the other part of this job you are welcome to come here my friend with your criticism let's continue this person says if i say what this looks like to me especially with the rumors about this man so i was curious as to what these rumors were and from what i can gather the rumors are because he dated a 19 year old when he

was 33 that's what that's what it is it says that's perfectly normal Henry Caval dated a 19 year old when he was 33 said the me two movement made him scared to flirt with women because they might accuse him of rape and had to set boundaries with 15 year old millie bobby brown to keep their relationship strictly professional what a loser and then of course so he says last time i check 19 is legal and he was right to set boundaries with a 15 year old yes 110% here here's more of the criticism of him normal adults do not need to adopt terms and conditions to have healthy boundaries with children everything hollywood has taught me is that that is 110% not true at all in fact it's the complete opposite this person says that is so weird as an attitude this person says trying to be overly strict to distract from the allegations but it just makes you seem more suspicious there aren't even allegations no and the other thing is like it's not suspicious unless you are a terminally online weirdo setting boundaries is like these are the same people who talk

all the time about how people in relationships should set boundaries with one another but somehow setting boundaries with an underage co-worker is the weird thing it's insane like that's that's insane to me this person says it's hilarious that Henry Cavill dipped on her when she tried to get with him a few years ago no proof of that whatsoever they're just throwing these things out there every time he hears here's a good one one person says every time you hear something about Henry Cavill he just seems even better and more based than previously thought possible this person says the negative response to this tweet is jarring because it's generally a best practice in vocations that involve working with children to set professional boundaries with kids not just not just children yes 100% right but yes and right yes and it's good to set boundaries with women like it's not just about setting boundaries with children you should set boundaries with women as well so that way you're not in a position where you could be looked at as some kind of bad person or you could be accused

of something or something could be misunderstood set boundaries so that way everybody's aware of how the relationship is supposed to go if someone steps over the boundary leave this thing go on this person says oh he's a weirdo this person says I'm weak LMFAO he about to have them allegations go mainstream so he's doing damage control through her first of all again what allegations yes there are no allegations because Henry Cavill sets boundaries it's just it's crazy and it is weird because I am one of those people where I am not like the I'm not a Henry Cavill loyalist per se I don't think he would be a great choice to play James Bond I actually don't think that that would be the right thing do I think he's actually too muscular he'd have to lose weight and muscle mass to play James Bond but in general he seems to make all the proper choices when it comes to his private life and he does seem to have a refreshingly like every man take on his life like he doesn't seem to approach Hollywood in the same way that a lot of other people do but you should be

weirded out by the amount of people who want you to somehow not set boundaries with people that are underrated this might be a little bit of a hot take but honestly Henry Cavill is too good for Millie Bobby Brown you know she's married now she's she's she's married to John Bon Jovi son good so they're they're and she's got her own you know things that come on because she they adopted children and she's become this avatar for wanting to be a mother adopted adopted children Henry Cavill is too good he should have his own sons he does he does have a child now I don't know if it's a boy or a girl but he does have kids now he's right now he's working on Highlander he's got that coming out he's got his own stuff going on but I I would like to to live in a world where you don't have to worry about these types of things but Hollywood is one of those places where there are just whether it's quiet on set it's everything that's ever happened at Nickelodeon over the years Disney everybody knows that Hollywood is not the place you bring your kids if you want them to come out well adjusted Henry Cavill is seems to be the exception to the rule that he

is the one who actually is safe to be around because he sets firm boundaries exactly all right let's move on let's talk about the burger wars in the world that we're living in right now as everybody is arguing about the US versus Iran are you pro war are you anti war do you think we should launch missiles do you think we should put boots on the ground is this a proxy war is this about oil going to China who knows who cares apparently because Slavon Lee Americans are arguing about which burger place has the better CEO to promote their extremely unhealthy product and frankly you can't buy this level of memetic and viral fame on the internet right now if you're trying to bump your stock price for the company if you guys don't know we talked about it the other day I'm sure you saw this video fill of the McDonald's CEO who looked like he'd never eaten McDonald's before in his life he looked like it disgusted him he didn't want look like he wanted anything to do with it he took like the the smallest little nibble of his new big arch burger and as far as I'm concerned

he was the most CEO looking CEO that I've ever seen the only thing missing was a quarter zip everything else was about spot on but there was there's now been like a rush of other videos as they are all burger magging each other that is right they're all bite-maxing trying to burger mawg one another as all of the CEOs come to blows let's watch this all right the moment of truth there was the original one that's a burger that is so good I love this product it is so good by the way I didn't know you're taken this so the first time I saw that I didn't find it weird at all because that's exactly how CEOs talk about yes what they sell like it's just funny because it's but whenever I talk about David Zazlab David Zazlab at Warner Brothers or David Ellison at Paramount it's always like we are here to build a multi-platform product that increases shareholder value yeah I really want to see this product from Tom Cruise increased shareholder value

by creating synergistic opportunities with theaters yeah tell me talk it's very not human I mean you would think that he'd be like this new Tom Cruise movie that we got coming out is the bomb it's sick you know like because then I mean it humanizes not just him but humanizes the product right like if all you hear is oh it makes value for shareholders it makes value for shareholders it makes value for shareholders you don't think that it actually does produce value for shareholders because it doesn't sound like they care about the product beyond what kind of revenue it generates yeah I heard somebody describe CEOs is they're they're like mildly autistic math geeks who just happen to be a little bit better at human interaction than the average everyday person because they have to learn how to kind of schmooze a board right yeah that's what they have to be good at so let's continue the video here then do a tasting right now we love this burger product which most people

call a burger of course we're starting with our windy square patty fresh never frozen beef tank is more human than that guy it's better yeah we're gonna do a tasting right now but I'm gonna eat this for my lunch just so you know I'm gonna do a tasting right now but this is actually my lunch he's making fun of him that's the that's the A&W of course you gotta have a frosty with a burger is this set up today oh wait our machines are always working hmm that is so good only one thing missing a napkin all right the moment of truth all right so first of all I want I want you to take another because I saw this video from actually what let's play this first so now what we're seeing is RFK juniors talking about how Americans don't know how to cook anymore and the reason why the burger king the McDonald's and the Arby's and the CEOs of all these companies are making record profits is because even though they're charging more and more every year people

are still paying it because Gen Z and even elder millennials don't know how to cook anymore yeah so let's uh watch his clip here every American can feed themselves cheaper than fast food he doesn't know one of the challenges that he sounds so we're facing like he could never have been president no and that we're working on all kinds of innovative devices to solve is that Americans have forgotten how to cook the convenience of fast food is one of the things that attracts them and many of them don't have the cutlery they don't have the pots and pans they don't have the cutting boards and they don't have a shop and one of the things that we're talking about now to HHS is to use the commission core or other groups within our agency to go out and actually teach people to cook every American okay so like I just laugh at this by the way guys I was like my uh this is why doing this job is one person is so difficult YouTube was like my window was frozen and it kept stalling out and I'm like I'm gonna let RFK talk will I try to to get this figured out

but it looks like it looks like we're good now but this is they're the most transparent host on the internet yes this is the most it always ends up being bad once I go to the audio end of the platform because I'm like I didn't need to say all that they would have the audio listeners would have never known I wouldn't have never known but I laugh at this because this is the most American thing I can think of depending on your political beliefs you're looking at the most pro-capitalist members of American society selling you slop and doing so via viral moments on the internet is this does this signal to you that Americans are just like desperate to need to learn how to cook or is it just a funny moment online I well I do think that it is I do think that Americans need to learn how to cook I do think that people need is that most young Americans in particular desperately need guidance as how to you know in regards to how to function like an adult yeah honestly I don't know exactly why that is I don't know where the disconnect was with their parents but I think that it goes beyond just cooking I think that you know most Americans young

Americans should have been told how to save money like how to how to properly use credit how to properly yeah what interest is how to do a budget like simple things like that that you probably used to get like you know 50 years ago in school but nowadays they just don't get that at all I think sometimes this is just my view of things it's like the world has gotten simultaneously easier and more complicated at the same time what I mean by that is like there's an application or something that can make a difficult process easier on you but back in the day life wasn't as instantaneous as it is like when you had something you had to get done you got to notice in the mail and then they you had a recommended amount of time that you got to answer that because you had to make do for the fact that you had to mail something back to them or call a number now you live in this kind of and maybe this is just me but now because of the way in which things are supposed to be done you

live in a sense of like quiet panic yeah like I mean something always needs to be done but did something important automatically go to my junk folder you know like yes like what did it did did an important notification just you know to the AI and Google decide now you don't need to see that was a good job I was watching this video it's like it's destroyed the job mark the job search market for people because companies are implementing AI to basically weed out applications and they're not very good at it so you're like you're applying for 200 places out of those 200 places maybe 50 of them actually got their got your resume in front of them because of the tools they're using to sort through it all yeah like on top of that like you said stuff goes to the junk folder you don't know you want to apply for a job at like a gas station now you have to fill out like a personality assessment so they can weed out bad employees to go work for a place where you're going to make not minimum wage but you're not going to be making like big bucks you

can make more than minimum wage at a gas station is running a check out I mean yes you can like those jobs are gone those jobs are going to be replaced by AI very very well I mean like out checkouts and stuff out here we have sheets which has two automatic checkouts in one regular that actually won't because they sell alcohol and tobacco which will always need to be being to sell it to you they won't be allowed to legally sell it to you unless some major lobbying goes down yeah in you know in DC but beyond that I mean you could you could very easily say you could have the automatic checkout you know you put them put a some kind of restrictive product and you have to present your ID and they'll check the age and the ID that's very that's a very easy to do but then like would they have to use like facial recognition but if it's like not like it's just your like your big brother's ID both of those things I think you're very very simple yes they would have to use facial recognition you'd have to be like okay so we have to see your face you have to see the ID and and I think that that honestly I think that that would probably be more reliable than

people that are actually checking IDs no I mean they that so I worked for two gas stations they they like you get state inspections so you're you're it's not in your best interest to be lacks about that yeah for everyone who solves crime from their couch knows more about forensics than their own job and has trust issues with small town sheriffs amazon musics millions of podcast episodes are calling just download the amazon music app and start listening to your favorite true crime podcasts add free included with prime tolerate a cure from 2311 racing another checkered flag for the books time to celebrate with chamba jump in at chamba casino dot com let's chamba no purchase necessary btw group boy we're prohibited by mall ct and c 21 plus sponsored by chamba casino like I mean they give you like the basic rule where it's like if they look over this age and you're like what does that even mean yeah like in in today's day and age like what is looking over 30 mean but they checked pretty regularly to make sure that you work hard because they send in somebody who's just old enough I can say this when you're 20 someone that looks 30 looks very different than someone

that looks 30 to someone who's 50 when I look at a 30 year old and I'm you know at my age I'm like yeah that person looks very very young and it's like oh they're 30 I'm like wow I would guess a lot younger the um I think that america also is just constantly in need of distraction so and maybe this is a terminally online take because all of this is mostly happening on x to watch all of the burger magging going down by the way I want to shout out the Wendy's CEO who does win this in my in my regards because he's doing what all CEOs are supposed to do which is where a quarter zip and he's not just wearing a quarter zip he's wearing a Wendy's branded quarter zip which is of course makes perfect sense for that I didn't like this take from someone let me see if I can find here yeah McDonald's CEO is still clearing I'm now even uh I've now even come around on the OG viral video of his we simply didn't understand his game he's a CEO it's a product to him apparently someone in the test kitchen asked what his favorite food was and he just said fish I eat a

lot of fish don't even think to answer with an item that the company he's the CEO of produces this is a raw input output organism that we are dealing with burger king CEO went with went for the obvious transparent burger magging attempt transparent burger magging attempt by taking a bigger bite so obviously a maug attempt that it actually puts him below McDonald's CEO because he tried to do it he was trying to maug therefore he automatically falls under the McDonald's CEO Wendy's CEO attempt is a nothing burger it lacks the autistic CEO authenticity of McDonald's and even the obvious marketing move of burger king I agree because basically I saw people talking about the different archetypes that the two CEOs represent I'm not giving you we're basically the the McDonald's CEO is your Bill Gates-esque CEO who is supposed to be inaccessible because of his level of intellect or at least that's how he'd been perceived he's got the glasses he's kind of a

nerd whereas your burger king CEO looks like he's not a fortune 500 CEO but he's a dude who really rallies the troops for his employees and he's owned that maybe it's a family business maybe he's been in charge there for 15 20 years and he keeps his employees and his customers loyal by kind of leading the charge and all of this just tells me people are starved for actual things to talk about yeah and that's because talking about Iran and in America and Israel's boring I disagree about your take on talking about Iran China and the United States but when it comes to this type of content that there are definitely people that will get as deep into the weeds they possibly can body posture what you're wearing those kind of things that that's I it doesn't it doesn't compel me but it does compel something also apparently wendys is hiring a taste tester for their food with a hundred thousand dollar salary yeah Wendy's is like Wendy's Wendy's needs some work

on their fries but Wendy's the sea salt fries are really good I'm not sure that I've ever tried the sea salt fries as opposed to the regular fries but they're they're regular fries and I think part of this is because they don't cook them long enough and I think that most places don't cook them long enough I think they probably all use 30 seconds additional like just industry wide if you put your fries down for two and a half minutes they should be down for three I understand that that they're trying to cut every second they can because times of the essence but to get a properly prepared fry no matter where I go I almost always have to say make them extra crispy give them a few extra seconds in the fry later because I don't like soggy fries it's the worst fries the worst fries it's most people say culverse so I'm I've had culverse before I don't know that I think they're the worst fries of the of the fast food stuff that I like it's actually my favorite burger place that makes the worst fries in and out they're terrible I like I do like five guys

fries but again they come out too soggy they they're really so I mean I like them because they have the season fries yep which I which I really really like they still need if you leave them in there for when it comes to five guys probably an additional minute would probably be necessary but I like I like I like I don't like them necessarily super crispy like like the reason I was I called fries Brett they're not mashed potatoes which is what you get when you don't cook them long enough they're called fries they're supposed to be fried you must have been to ever you must have at least tried every fast food restaurant with the amount of travel you've done in the I can't think of one that I haven't tried yeah I've had culvers I've had you know what a burger the regional ones like you know what a burger in and out is my favorite burger in the United States I think that it's it's awesome only if you don't put the the whole half of an onion they they want to put on there um I'm preferential to to culverse burger wise I'm preferential to culverse but I do that knowing that the fry experience is going to be mediocre at best that's the exact same

thing that I do with with uh in and out I when I go to in and out I don't even bother ordering fries I also think Burger King is underrated and people people hate on Burger King is flame broiled burgers are actually really really good Burger King is very good and they're and they probably are one of the few ones that actually does do crispy fries most of the time yep Burger King's fries are good Burger King's burgers are good um McDonald's has the the thing about McDonald's is it's very consistent they're always like a four yeah it's always a four you have travel internationally to get over the five you know the but McDonald's fries are are again if just so long as they're not you know rushing them out because there's a big long line McDonald's fries are probably my favorite french fries I I complain the other day I said I like McDonald's fries because they're they're all they're like halfway between a shoe string and a regular yeah but the problem is the ones that we get and and I I fully admit me and Olivia been guilty of going to McDonald's more than we should lately usually on nights where I work late and we just don't feel like yeah cooking um I usually I probably probably I'll probably go to McDonald's like I average it out like once every

other month you know maybe twice something twice I mean for for the first three years you last two or three years we didn't go we didn't ever go then we like we got she got she hadn't had chicken nuggets in years got some chicken nuggets really wanted them and then we got on a cycle of go and more regularly I don't feel bad about McDonald's breakfast because you get an egg McMuffin with no butter it's actually really good there's there's preservatives in the cheese and it it could be better but all the rest of it is actually very good the macros are there man I was curious with the maha's thought about all of this they're not happy and the maha's are the the maha's are one issue voters here guys like if if RFK isn't giving them exactly what they want and they're not getting rid of the light glyphosate out of everything they aren't going to vote for you so you know Americans need to get away from the burger war so they're going to lose the next election before we move on I am going to play you uh the read like this guy got another chance at making a video they had that they brought the McDonald's CEO back for a second video so he could try another

product he got another he got another run and this one is better so we're going to let him have his rebate here so let's listen hey everybody we are here to do another spectacular McDonald's tasas and I've got notice they don't have the fries awkwardly sitting up there's no fries awkwardly sitting up the coke is kind of or it's kind of half off camera not perfectly showing you a logo there he's improving yeah on my right here the classic McDonald's Big Mac which you all know in love I certainly love it I love and then we have our chicken Big Mac which has uh been on our menu before and it's coming back to make a reappearance so we're going to do a little comparison between the two starting with of course the iconic McDonald's Big Mac so here we go first visual appeal is very strong looks fantastic can't wait to bite into it the cheese is nice and temperate and stop talking about it then and do the cheese with temperate so this is something I brought up with Mary's that when I first started at Timcast pop a John came oh yeah yeah and he does this he would do this yes well I don't know if it was just after but he definitely already said it by

then but um this was a thing where they he would go do inspections at local chains where they had criteria that it had to meet yeah and he went and he inspected the ones from the local uh I think they got like a middle from the local pop of Johns and they only got like a middle rating but he did offer some grace saying that he got their kind of late so he didn't get to look at it fresh out of the oven and maybe it might have gotten a difference you know now that I think one second now that I think of that I think that most places because I I mentioned or I mentioned earlier the fries weren't cooked long enough one of the things that I don't like about pop a John's generally is like I don't feel like the pizzas are cooked long enough I think overall the desire to have things two people fast has led to a a general under cooking of most fast food yeah I think most fast food save for your burgers like most fast food probably needs a little more time to cook and it comes out better let's let let him finish the video here see if he looks more human

he made sure to take the biggest bite yeah possibly the art director was off camera like you better freaking take of you get a great hit of Big Mac sauce and that I really I tasted it I loved it the beef notes there it all worked so well together it may be actually the perfect sandwich although chickens now going to try to give it a run for the money so let's try the we need the soda CEOs to do this because I am I am consistently beleaguered like people are always upset with me because I say coke is garbage and Pepsi is better the only time coke wins is when it's out of the McDonald's fountain drink that's the only time coke I don't agree I I'm like coke fan Coca-Cola fan um I think that uh Coca-Cola from the bottle is the best the Mexican Coke if you get Mexican oh the last bottle yeah Mexican Coke with a well-prepared well-cooked pizza look out man look out I uh I am I engage in these debates even though I gave up soda like a couple years ago because

I was just like I just I hold the weight of soda too much my face gets really puffy okay uh that type of liquid calories is just I used to drink so much soda and finally I did just get rid of it yeah but I am still a Pepsi loyalist that is that is just my my perspective chicken Big Mac and see how it compares same build so you'll recognize we still have the three buns we still have all the lettuce and cheese and of course the McDonald's Big Mac sauce but we now have two chicken patties so let's give this a try really good one of the things I did like about this chicken Big Mac is the crunchiness of the chicken you get a crunch with this chicken Big Mac that you don't get with the regular Big Mac which just gives it a little bit of a different mouth feel but I think the Big Mac mouth feels a real thing by the way that's something that they talk about is like uh if you eat chicken it does have a different texture depending on the breading and stuff

but it should at least yeah sauce works great with this so there we have a taste test on both how do you make the decision when you choose to go with the regular Big Mac when you decide to go with chicken Big Mac my advice would be don't choose actually just choose to buy both uh they're both as you as you see they're both great products look that actually does speak to an idea that I have called the backup burger okay so whenever you're going to a place that you know right McDonald's Burger King what have you and there is something on the menu that you want to try oh you've talked about this you get what you're gonna try and then you get an old favorite yeah you get the new thing and then you get your old stuff because God only knows if this new abomination that they've thrown together is gonna be you know it's gonna be prepared well is gonna be good if you don't like it you got the backup burger so that way you know that you're not gonna go hungry get your go and do your experiment yeah but make sure you get a backup burger as well all right words of wisdom here ladies and gentlemen let's look at cute of the day we do have

one here who did we get this one from today yes this one's from cookie Don says playing in the corner there's three of them here there's a puppy and two kiddies no names but they do look like they're all having fun going in a circle oh really like they you know they're like they're all kind of sniffing each other's butts yes they are all right remember guys you can submit your pets for cue to the day on x tag me in their atbred dash if it can use the hashtag pcc pets I know people don't use hashtags anymore but it still makes it easier for me to find them on there let's talk about paramount let's talk about politics let's talk about Hollywood suddenly trying to clutch their pearls over the idea of a company in Hollywood exercising some level of political influence as if that is something new that nobody in Hollywood has ever seen before we'll listen to what Jamie Lee Curtis legendary actress Jamie Lee Curtis has to say about this because they asked her how she felt about the upcoming merger between paramount and Warner Brothers let's listen speaking

of today's world big news happening in the industry with paramount and Warner Brothers what are your thoughts on the potential merger you know what I I am not versed enough in what the real ramifications I mean any consolidation is always going to ask questions about how much power does that one large company hold over what we see and hear and who takes the decisions within that company it's not a democracy it's a business it was what are you talking about like that's not what business is no it's like they don't know any other word to use for it they don't they're I mean I I don't know that Jamie Lee Curtis has always been stupid but this is a stupid thing to say great that that doesn't mean anything my boss dropped

out of high school he's not stupid so it's not the point but she she's working in Hollywood so it's it's not like they're going to be taxing their brains yeah at any level so let's let's continue run by businessmen so are we now going to be fed content based on what that business man's political and creative vision is or can art still exist within that framework and that's always the question anytime there's a big consolidation of creative business entities into one mashup hold that that right yes there's one thing I want to say do you want your art democratized what gives you the idea that democratizing art is going to produce better art right like the artist that has the vision is the one that should be deciding how the art is created the the

artist that has the vision is the should be the one that's actually producing it and everyone should get on board with the artist's vision right you don't want to democratize art you don't want art through a committee you don't want art through you know proper channels where everyone gets a say about it that's literally what people complain about in the music industry when they say oh well you know the record label has to listen to it the record label has to say this is okay that's not okay that argument against record labels against big corporations has been the argument forever so why on earth would you think that democratizing art whether it be visual art or musical art is now a good thing this is totally backwards it's totally upside down how do you okay so then how do you feel about this side of it so one of the things that I frequently complain about when it comes to the Hollywood types that make the movies this is usually as much of a problem when it comes to the creatives behind the camera at least the ones with names that people know as opposed to

necessarily just the actors but what they constantly tell you is that I wanted to make this movie and the studio didn't like what I wanted to make and they said I had to make these changes and then they get really upset that the people who are handing them millions upon millions of dollars to make something get mad when they don't make a product that they feel again a product that they feel is actually going to wield them you know yield some type of return on investment and I'm always annoyed because I did a segment a couple weeks ago about an actress named Jennifer Esposito who financed her own film and it didn't do well and she ended up having to sell her home because she remor she mortgage her house so that she could make this movie and it didn't make any money because you know now people are trying to use Markiplier as like the argument for this when that's not accurate he's somebody who has a built-in audience of like 30 million people so when he independently makes a movie there is a built-in audience that an independent filmmaker with no following has but they're basically trying to say that they want to make the art the way they want

but they don't want to pay for it they want the big guy upstairs to pay for it and to trust them how do you like how do you feel about that because I feel like this is one of those things where there's two classes of of artists there's the ones who are business-minded who at least kind of tacitly understand it and that they're the ones that maybe couldn't balance a checkbook but they really believe in the power of art and they kind of come down fighting at the top so I think that if you're the one that's going to finance the art or finance whatever it is you shouldn't be giving money to people you don't believe in okay you shouldn't be giving money to artists that don't produce something that you think is viable right and there is a risk that you're going to lose money this is why labels sign a ton of bands and they'll see what you know they sign up a bunch of bands or a bunch of creatives for for basically the you know multiple records to see if they can either develop them and promote them into a space where they can become profitable or hopefully from the the label's perspective one of them just hits and does well right and they're will they're going

to dump a lot of money into and to doing what they can to make sure that happens but you shouldn't be signing I don't think that labels or studio houses should be going into business with artists that they don't believe in because nobody goes to see universal pictures movies because they're universal they go I actually okay I actually almost know I make an argument that I say that universal pictures is the only studio title credit that doesn't immediately fill me with name okay so so maybe universal that damn in paramount was that that was maybe that was a bad uh but I'm general I understand the vast majority the vast majority you're like you're the first person that I've ever heard today save for maybe Disney right Disney's another one where you know people that are fans of Disney will go but for the for the most part um people are not going to see a movie because it comes from a studio they're going because they like the actor or they like the director or they like the writer because those are the people that they're relying on to create

the thing that they want to see and so if the people that are in the studio are too involved in create and trying to shape the creation you end up with to any either a situation of too many cooks making the you know spoiling the broth make the product water down you end up with a situation of the artist's vision doesn't come to fruition or what have you I think that that it's a it is incumbent on the studios to allow the artists to create the product that they want to create and the studios run the risk of it not panning out but they have to they I think they should let the artist create what the artists are going to create and if they don't like it they shouldn't work with that artist I think that the the issue is is that the the process of making a movie is so collaborative and it involves so many it passes through so many hands right so it starts with the writer then it goes to rewrites from rewrites you find a director a director then works with the writer the lighting designer your director of photography it's not a singular vision in a

lot of ways in the studio for the most part they're not thinking in terms of art they're thinking in terms of demographics and they're thinking in terms of markets so one of the critiques I have of Hollywood is they tried too often and this would actually be an argument kind of for your point too much of what they try to make is what they call for quadrant pictures which is it's for men and women young and old you know oftentimes when you try to make something for the widest audience possible you end up making it for nobody because it doesn't actually inspire anyone the original Rambo I think I think they said the first cut was over three hours long by the time it was done it was down to like an hour and 20 minutes and it's a beautiful thing I love that movie but it's not though it's not what it was originally envisioned as it's different from what I understand the source material I think it's based on a book something correct my wrong but it came out very differently from how they originally intended it and there are numerous examples of you know artists being allowed to make Joker folia do would be a good example of them being like yes Todd Phillips Joker was successful you can make whatever you want for Joker folia do and it

became a musical where you know he ends up getting gang right at the end and nobody liked it nobody wanted to see it it wasn't a you know it was a bismill box office I didn't say the first I didn't see the second joke excited like the first joke but the point is that the one resonated highly with the audience the other one didn't and they gave the director complete creative control this also happened in Wonder Woman 1984 when they made the first Wonder Woman movie it was based on the blueprint by Zack Snyder he loves Zack Snyder he helped a lot with the rewrites on that movie when after Wonder Woman was successful in 2017 I believe it was Patty Jenkins was given free rain to make whatever she wanted in Wonder Woman 2 and what they got was that it was really really bad and nobody wanted to see it so sometimes I would say that you're right if you have the right creative mind that person gets more leeway but if it's somebody without a proven track record guard rails need to be put up in the studios they we just did a story yesterday about Maggie Gyllenhaal

directed this new movie coming out called the bride where they basically told her they're like there's too much sexual violence in this like people aren't gonna want to see it and and she's it's like she's like I had a friend and she was like they wouldn't have done this to a woman if it was a man I could give you five examples of directors who have been prevent men portraying sexual violence is totally acceptable that's actually what they're saying I mean that's actually what they're saying I mean a lot of people believe that what they're doing there is the it's a marketing ploy they know they've got a bad movie on their hand so they're switching the marketing right now to try and turn it into outrage marketing rather than just traditional marketing but the point being that you know it is an interesting discussion to have for all involved and now what paramount is worrying about on top of you know that type of creative control we have to look at what the what the other creatives and Hollywood are saying paramounts take over of Warner Brothers Discovery has raised concerning amongst artists who worry that the Ellison's coziness with Trump administration could stifle free expression yeah the Ellison

Ellison scares the shit out of me once said one a list director are the movies they put out going to be catered to Trump's tastes are they going to start cracking down on content but they don't feel to be ideologically aligned with the right well if what you're putting out is star fleet academy I don't think it matters that it's left to write it matters that it's garbage that nobody actually wants to see and if we're talking about Ellison's political views David Ellison vows that CNN will operate independently as paramount takes over that's what he said on I believe he was on CNBC says Ellison responded when they asked him in the interview anger David Faber said that there is certainly a perception a perception and or of fear perhaps that once you take control of CNN and given the changes you've made at CBS news that you will be more beholden to the Trump administration he then asked the paramount CEO the Paramount Skydance CEO can you address that potential fear at least on the part of many and he said so look I've said this since the beginning

which is you know for when it really comes to editorial independence will absolutely be maintained it's maintained at CBS it'll be maintained at CNN and really who we want to talk to is the 70% of Americans and really around the world that identify a center left a center right and we want to be in the truth business we want to be in the trust business and that's not going to change well I don't remember the last time CNN or MSNBC or I'm sorry it's MS now right it's what it's called yes I don't remember last time them or even Fox News was necessarily in the what you call truth business but clearly they do at least look to try and placate some aspect of the middle or they think that that's what they're going to do yeah I mean look the idea that you need to tie this to Donald Trump is just a it's a symptom of today's political culture and how people have replaced many people have replaced things that they used to look to to to find

what's the word I'm looking for to try to find you know companionship try to find people with like like mines and they've replaced that with politics yeah they're just like well I'll stick to this tribe and if if I dislike Donald Trump the proper way and I condemn things that are in that are tacitly associated with him as even as far as well I don't like this movie because the people that own the company or I'm concerned about this this movie because the people that own the company are somehow tacitly connected to Trump that's become some kind of way to signal your tribal allegiance the um the sad thing is is I oftentimes I feel like homeless man I in the entertainment sense so I did this post last night there's this new show called RJ Decker and I was reading all of these just brutal reviews of this show about how they humiliate the main character it's super woke and I watched the first 15 minutes and those moments were definitely in there the uh I'll give you the breakdown the the characters of PI who goes to jail for beating

up a kid who broke into his car um he's he sleeps with the kid's sister without knowing it and then she testifies against him sends him to jail he gets out he can no longer work as he was a before uh he got out you have a conversation no no no I don't he was only in there for two years um but he gets out he has to become a PI because he can't work as a newspaper anymore because that's what he did beforehand he was a photo journalist and uh he tries to interact with the this detective who is now the wife of his ex-wife yes that is what happens and the detective is snarky and rude to him and they talk down to him and I'm like okay I'm on board finally one of these shows where everybody talks about how bad is but by like the halfway point the the really annoying detective is now softened on him she says I'm never gonna help you with anything I'm not gonna give you any information blah blah blah blah by the middle of it she's helping him and he helps solve the case and he has some moments where he gets to solve the the the case it's his find he makes all the

the connections and he's spoken up highly by his ex-cellmate who is now a bar owner and then the lady who like sent him to jail through perjury now is helping him because she feels bad about it so I read all of these reviews that were super negative and technically they're right but it's a frame of reference to what your worldview is if an annoying detective is that annoying which she was you're not even gonna make it past the 10 minute mark and watch the character soften and most people aren't willing to anymore and I feel like for me I'm in this bubble here where everybody looks at this stuff and hates it and I feel like I'm supposed to hate it most of the time because everybody's telling me that it's bad but not everything is starfleet academy or not everything is rings of power or all of these things and I end up finding most of the time that might take some stuff both politics and entertainment end up being somewhere in the middle in completely homeless of what everybody else thinks yes I understand that perspective I do think that because I think people on the right are definitely sensitive to this stuff and they don't

want to support projects that kind of do that type of you know do that kind of characterization of men and characterization of of stereotypical people I think that that want when you start a show with people that are like that you're you're going to turn a certain segment of the audience off and they're not gonna get to the part where there's character development they're not gonna get to the part where the the breakthroughs happened the you know the interpersonal breakthroughs happened 10 years 15 years ago they would have been for everyone who solves crime from their couch knows more about forensics than their own job and has trust issues with small town sheriffs amazon musics millions of podcast episodes are calling just download the amazon music app and start listening to your favorite true crime podcasts add free included with prime tolerate a cure from 2311 racing another checkered flag for the books time to celebrate with chamba jump in at chamba casino dot com let's chamba no purchase necessary btw group void

by mom ct and c 21 plus sponsored by chamba casino willing to make it that far yeah but it's been shoved down your throat so much that people like oh this one it's another one of these I'm just going to turn it off and find something else and that's that's something that you know studios are creating people like create these kind of things the the writers stuff that's something that they need to realize that like if you are too ham-fisted with this stuff in the beginning and it's too over the top you're going to turn people off even if you're intent in the movie is to or in the show is to show the development right the character development through the whole thing if you're too too strong on certain topics in the beginning you're going to have people say I don't want to watch this because I expect it to be the same to the home movie you know I have I'm tired of this narrative and so I'm going to find something else and that and again that might do a disservice to the that might be people doing a disservice to themselves because they don't stick around to watch the character development but that's just the society that we live in people are very very

they're very tribal right now and if you if you don't give them something early to watch again with attention spans as well you know people people are very quick to swipe away from things they don't like if you don't give them something to latch on to early then you're going to end up with people saying I don't like this and I'm going to find something else because I have a bajillion yeah the the person I was talking to about it who's basically like they they kind of denigrate him and he was talking about basically he's ineffectual and I said well no the point is is like most men love the idea of the hyper competent lead right that that's the male power fantasies to be really good at something you're prepared for every situation you're at the top of your field that's the reason why certain types of characters like if you go watch old episodes of Arrow Oliver Queen starts out granted for most of the show in the in the current timeline he's the best everything because he's been basically turned into a weapon after spending five years on a deserted island yeah but the point is is like this show wasn't supposed to be that this was supposed to be somebody down on his luck who's then trying to turn his luck around but people just don't want to

watch that type of storytelling because they don't feel like they're ever going to see it they feel like it's going to end up backfiring and it's just going to be that the whole time but it does kind of connect back and I do believe that the celebrities should be mocked and laughed at for suddenly clutching their pearls and pretending like oh now there's a company trying to exercise political influence well you've still got Disney you still got ABC you still got all of these other come one of the other I was like I tried to write them all down so there's Netflix Disney Amazon Universal Paramount Amazon you can make the argument that there are somewhere closer to the middle they make some hits and they make some misses Disney has tried to pull back to the middle but we know what their beliefs are we know that the executives at Netflix are largely Democrat donors they're clutching their pearls because they don't want you to exercise any type of power once you have it they want to pretend like oh now it's happening for the first time it's not all right you're gonna you're gonna love this one because you are perhaps out of everybody that works here I would say that you are the most pro AI at the very least you're the one who wants to talk about the

future that AI can create for all of us well Hollywood fill is not pro AI in any in any real meaningful way they're absolutely terrified of AI they in fact a lot of black pillars about AI but they treat they treat AI the same way that they talk about ice which is you can tell you can tell oh upset someone is by when they devolve into unnecessary swearing so what I always say the joke I always make is like they're always fuck ice FAI they do this because they don't really oftentimes either they don't understand it or they don't have a rebuttal but the point here is that Ben Affleck has now joined with Netflix he started an AI filmmaking venture and they are being that it's a new startup that is going to be working for Netflix it's a company called what is it here I gotta pull up in a rare acquisition it's called Interpositive a startup founded by Ben Affleck that makes AI powered tools for filmmakers terms of the acquisition are not being disclosed the entire 16 person Interpositive team of engineers researches and creatives

will join Netflix through their acquisition and Affleck will serve as a senior advisor to Netflix to provide ongoing guidance while Netflix historically is a more of a builder than a buyer the company said it saw how Affleck's Interpos it saw Affleck's Interpositive as providing a unique set of AI tools that keeps filmmakers at the center of the process Netflix will offer access to Interpositive's technology to its creative partners and does not have plans to sell it commercially on the marketplace the reason I bring this up is and we'll watch this clip here first I think that there is there is a path forward for everyone in Hollywood that ends up taking that more pragmatic approach to Hollywood or to AI which is that it can't be uninvented it's not going in yeah it's not there's nothing you can do about it the best thing you can do is to make yourself useful within the paradigm that AI offers and I think Ben Affleck is smart enough to understand that this was a clip of him talking about it on Joe Rogan so we'll listen to this really quickly so you can kind of get an idea where he's coming from is like for example if you

try to get Chatchy PT or a Claude or Gemini I write you some months old and it's shitty because by its nature it goes to the mean to the average and it's and it's not reliable and it's I mean I just came stand to see what's right now it's a useful tool if you're a writer and you're going ah what's the thing I'm trying to set something up or somebody sends someone a letter but it's delayed two days and gets and it can give you some examples of that I actually don't think it's very likely that it can it's going to be able to write anything meaningful or in particular that it's going to be making movies like from whole cloth like tilly nor like that's bullshit I don't think that's going to happen I think it's not I think it actually turns out the technology is not progressing in exact the same way they sort of presented it and really what it is is going to be a tool just like sort of visual facts and yeah it needs to have language around you need to protect your name and likeness you can do that you can water market your those laws already exist you can't I can't sell your fucking picture for money I can't you consume me period it kind of feels to me like

I think we're talking about earlier where there's a lot more fear because we have the sense that's existential dread it's got a wipe everything out right but that actually runs counter in my view to what history seems to show which is adoption is slow it's incremental um I think a lot of that rhetoric comes from people who are trying to justify valuations around companies that's what do you think that part of this is people talk about AI being a bubble do you think part of this is marketing so there's a there's a few different perspectives when it comes to AI being a bubble and there's a few things that can actually can actually create that reality so if AI doesn't work right that's one of the things that would actually make AI become a bubble if if all of the hype around AI doesn't translate into functional stuff that people can do that could could end up making all the investment now investment there was this in the people like to to equate it to the dot com bubble and there's this this idea or this this phenomenon that happened during the the dot combo that most

people don't think about and it was called dark fiber right everyone knew that the internet was coming everyone knew that it had massive potential and so all of these companies started laying all of this fiber undersea to connect the United States with other countries to cut basically connect the whole world and they there was a massive investment in in this stuff and it was really expensive to do to to lay these cables first you know that you have to basically have a troll or go and lay miles and are not a troll about ship miles and miles and miles of you know thousands of miles of cable connecting basically the whole world and once that was done there was not the functionality on the internet to justify that fiber late being late so there was no payment with plans there was no no no weighted basically do internet payments that was secure there was a lot of problems like the old what time is this like what year was this this is to write right around 1999 2000 right

before the dot com bubble blue and everybody was buying these dot com's these websites but the websites themselves were little more than advertisements for existing you know existing companies or or what have you or or sometimes they were just ideas nowadays all the money that goes into blogs or like posts and stuff but not like well no even even like like pets dot com is one that gets mentioned all the time right because pets dot com was a was valued at some ridiculous amount of money and you couldn't do anything on you could go and look but they didn't have the delivery service you couldn't make payments you you it just didn't have stuff there for you and everybody knew that it was coming everyone knew that those kind of features were going to be there in the future no one knew when and being early is the same as being wrong yeah right like you you can you can invest money and if you invest money and it doesn't happen fast enough for you to make a return or when you know people decide they're tired of waiting being early is the same as being

with the with the AI stuff that's going on now all of the money goes into GPUs like these GPUs are built there's a couple bottlenecks that that are coming like I said there's a possibility that AI doesn't actually do what people think it can do I personally think that's wrong do you do part of that is just is more of a means of like what the average person is able to conceive of doing with it partially functional for like earlier use that I was explaining to you like the average day of me like on the days where I'm prepping the show alone you're like if you thought about like getting an AI to do it I'm like I think I'm too dumb to figure it out partially but once you have you heard that let me we can actually put a pin in there because there's a couple things I would get to you there was the there's the idea that that that the AI isn't good enough and then the other bottlenecks that you have to worry about are producing enough electrons producing enough electricity and producing enough GPUs it is more likely that we're going to see a bottleneck with electricity production before we see a bottleneck with with GPUs all the GPUs that get made

they get used right they they literally do they there there there's not a creation of GPUs that are sitting on shelves waiting for people to buy them and that's why I brought up dark fiber that dark fiber was in a big investment people spent a lot of money on it it was laid but there wasn't the traffic to justify it and that was one of the major factors in the dot com bubble with the eight with a possible AI bubble there is no situation where they're not producing GPUs or they're I'm sorry they're producing GPUs that are sitting on the shelf that people are buying every GPU is getting bought all of the ram that's getting rams costs have gone through the roof because everybody's buying the ram so it's not a situation of this there aren't people that are looking to buy these products intelligence is not the same thing as a website right you can never have too much intelligence you can never have too many you can never have a computer that's too good at stuff right you might have it be good enough for your uses but there are other people that would be able to use more intelligence there that's something that that there's not really a cap on it so I don't I personally

don't think there is an AI bubble I think there are a couple bottlenecks that need to be solved and if those are not solved they could create bubble like conditions because these things need to get solved and there's and there's malinvestment and the the technology doesn't keep up but the actual idea that there's a bubble in the valuation of a lot of companies I don't think it's a case I think Nvidia is probably undervalued I think I think a musk company is undervalued because of what they actually because of the potential of what they're talking about we had 20 here from pop culture junk he says regarding RJ Decker understand that oh my gosh I don't know what it's hyacin fans if that's the author I apologize I know that the the show is based on a book series that I have not read a space says understand that hyacin fans especially us Floridians love the slightly nativist slant in his books the different feel of the series is getting noise from fans of the original book double whammy yeah I pointed out when I was kind of going back and forth the people I said look I haven't read the books so my interpretation of the show is purely based on what I

saw on screen and how it performs as an adaptation is of course a very very different thing and people have different takes on how loyal something should be to the source material but I absolutely understand the critiques even if mine were softened by the end of it okay okay well and so your question about the people people just don't know what to do with it or you know I don't know that I'm smart enough to use it that kind of thing is going to be solved once you're once you have AI agents in your phone so right now Apple's a series in your Apple device is dumb it's dumb as a box of rocks it can do a handful of things it can tell you what time it is it can start the time for you but for the best for the most part series basically useless when you can ask your phone hey do this for me and you just literally just call out its name say hey can you do this and it actually can do that access apps in your phone do things in your phone and produce results in the real world for you that's when people will be like oh it's not that I'm too stupid or

or or don't know how to use it I can just talk to it and there's there's this phrase that people hear that they may not know what that our viewers may not know what it is but it's called vibe coding what that means is you're not actually typing code into a computer you're telling an AI I want this I want a computer programmer an app to do this I want it to look like this I want it to look like that and you're telling it in English so what's happening is the AI is tell is taking your English words changing into code that the computer can understand so it's literally just translating and then it can actually write the write whatever program you're trying to do and essentially what what I'm talking about when I'm talking about talking to Syria or whatever your AI agent in particular is you're literally going to be able to tell your phone to do things and it will actually do things that produce results in the real world for you that's only probably two generations away probably I don't think that it'll be next year the next in the next line of of iPhones that come out but I think the following year Syria will be an agent the way that Syria was

kind of marketed back in 2013 this is actually something that I was talking about I was like hey you know how come it's taken so long for agents to become available to the whole into the population for anyone that doesn't know tank is my AI agent and and tank was telling me he's like look this is this was kind of sold to people as one thing but once OpenClaw became available that's when everything was put together there are these functionalities and these capabilities like they exist but they just hadn't been put together in a smooth fashion now that you've got something like OpenClaw all the other AI companies are scrambling Apple is a hardware company and they have been a hardware company for a long long time they'll they'll talk about OS and or iOS and what it can do and how it looks and stuff but at the end of the day they're not selling computer programs they're not selling software they're selling iPhones they're selling computers they're selling Apple TVs they're selling physical products Apple gave up on the on the intelligence kind of thing a long time ago when they put Syria out and they couldn't get it to work like an

agent and again this is like 10 years ago that it came out when they put Syria out and they couldn't get it to work like an agent they kind of stopped really pushing AI there's been all these companies anthropic Chatchee PT all these companies that have been working on AI even Metas doing it Google and and Apple's kind of been sitting on the sidelines waiting what's likely going to happen is Apple's going to decide who they want to work with they're going to take that product and they're going to put it into the iPhone and you're going to say I'm not going to say I'm not going to turn everyone's phone on you to say you're going to say Siri do this for me and it's going to do it and it's going to be powered by Chatchee PT it's going to be powered by Claude it's going to be powered by Groc so in a very short amount of time like I said I don't think I don't think next year because agents agentic AI is just now starting to get out to the masses with Claude I'm sorry with with OpenClaude but I think probably in the following year in 2028 the version of iPhones that come out in the fall because they do it every year I think those are going to have an

actual AI assistant in them and once that happens then people are going to realize oh I am smart enough to use AI because I'm smart enough to ask a question okay so funny I just um I refuse to upgrade my phone and my charger like the port on my charger just went out so I just bought another of the it costs like nothing because I have like a Galaxy S20 and I just bought like another Galaxy S20 S because I don't hurt S20 Ultra because I don't want to get away from expandable storage because everything that I use is stored on a micro SD card and I don't want to have to go to cloud oh yes for everything so it's like the phone cost nothing because it's from 2020 all right let's move on Phil is going to love this one ladies and gentlemen I promise you there was a new survey done and we are going to get into all of it here there was a new survey done that says Gen Z mails are twice as likely as boomers to believe that wives should obey their husband so what they're saying is that Gen Z is going far right right now global survey correctly

this is not the US by the way this is a global survey global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender rules than older generations almost a third of Gen Z men and boys think a wife should obey her husband according to a global survey of 23,000 people that found young men hold more traditional views about gender rules than older generations a third of Gen Z mails also said that a husband should have the final word on important decisions according to the 29th country survey which included Great Britain the US Australia and India it found that Gen Z mails born between 97 and 2012 where twice as likely as baby boomer men born between 46 and 64 to have a traditional view of decision making within marriage with just 13% of men in the in the older cohort agreeing that a wife should obey should always obey her husband among among women 18% of Gen Z and 6% of baby boomers agreed wow so it's even a higher percentage

among Gen Z women than of of boomer women people of both genders in Indonesia 66% in Malaysia 60% were most likely to agree with the statement compared to just 23% in the US and 13% in Great Britain the annual research of over 16s was conducted by the IPSOS it says like Ipsos and the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at King's College London and revealed the stark difference in the beliefs of different generations of men when it comes to genders almost a quarter of Gen Z mails think that women should not appear to independence or self-sufficient compared with 12% of baby boomers attitudes towards sexual norms also differed sharply across generations with 21% of Gen Z mails thinking that a real woman should never initiate sex compared to only 7% of boomer men more than half 59% of Gen Z mails said that men were expected to do much to support equality compared to 45% of

boomer men they were expected to do too much in support of equality for women the proportions were 41 and 30% respectively despite despite being the most likely to believe a woman should not appear to independent or self-sufficient Gen Z mails were also the group most likely to believe women should have a successful career said I'm sorry we're also the group most likely to believe women who have a successful career were more attractive to men 41% agreed with that statement the professor who put this study together said that they were there were some encouraging signs that the support for gender equality remains strong such as an agreement that there should be more women in government I knew you would love that I was like I wasn't going to cover this until I saw more women in government that's that's ridiculous yes I knew you would love that I think there's a lot of grievances a lot of fear of men losing social positions the no it's results based and there's a vacuum that's being filled with rhetoric and voices who are trying to pitch

young men against gender equality against young women and against migrants I don't know what that has to do with anything it's left the slop I know the results of the survey also suggest Gen Z mails have more traditional expectations of their own behavior and choices for example 30% of Gen Z mails believe men should not say I love you to their friends compared with 20% of boomer men and 21% of Gen Z women 21% of Gen Z mails believe that men who took part in caregiving for children was less masculine than those who did not um so there's a whole lot there like I'm definitely like I hug my guy friends you know and I'm an I love you man guy like that like that's that's totally I'm totally comfortable I tell my friends they're almost regressing to like a cartoonish yeah almost but the idea that one of the things that stuck out to me was like the idea that you know women the women shouldn't be in these positions or men think women shouldn't be in these positions because they're afraid and blah blah no it's 100% results based

right like there are people that consistently see female judges allowing criminals to go they're like long to go free giving them light sentences and that has a a real tangible effect on society it becomes more dangerous when you have criminals on the street as opposed to putting them in jail that is a real present and tangible negative result of having people in positions to put bad guys in jail that think of of what's the word I'm looking for that have too much empathy for people that have done things wrong there's been studies that that show that men when they watch movies or watch they watch a video or whatever where a bad guy is punished they feel good because the bad guy is punished because they have a sense of justice right doesn't matter that what the the context was the bad guy did a bad thing did something horrible and so he's punished men are

like good that makes me happy and the women will watch the same thing and they will think I don't know why they're being so harsh with him they should there should be mercy et cetera et cetera and that has a direct negative effect on society if you have too many women judges that aren't putting criminals in jail that means your criminals are on the street that means they're going to reoffend because people that people that commit crimes generally don't commit one crime and then stop committing crimes if you're the type of person that will commit crimes yeah there's there is a high level of recidivism and people generally will commit more crimes so you take those people off the street allowing people that have committed crimes to go back into society harm society it makes society a worse place so these people that commit crimes they need to be taken out of society and isolated that's the kind of thing that people are talking about when they say suicidal empathy these are the results of women making decisions based on empathy as opposed to making

decisions based on what is going to be best for the society whether it be immigration and saying well everybody that gets here should be allowed to stay no that's not true at all people there are different cultures in the in the world and people that come from different cultures that don't align with our culture shouldn't be allowed to stay there's nothing magic about American soil it's not like you step on it and automatically you're a Jeffersonian Democrat who loves Republican forms of government you're still the same person you're just in the United States and when you bring a lot of those people they'll create an enclave and they'll vote for people that that will offer them or provide for them either cover for when they break the law or we'll try to pass laws that benefit them exclusively and that's one of the things that you saw in Minneapolis with the Somali community they expected the elected representatives not just to provide them with services that they can access but also to cover them when they cross committed crimes there was a person in Maine who was complaining to his representative I saw a video of he was saying we voted you in so

you need to cover for us when we're and I'm paraphrasing but he was saying we voted you in so you need to cover for us you need to shield us from the law when we break the law because if you don't we won't vote for you again and it's like bro that's not how our system works at all and that was why it was made so difficult to get into the country in the first place very strict immigration rules went first of all it meant that they could actually afford to move here and they were going to be net benefits to society rather than net drains and the idea was is they had to really really want to move here to hold the same values that we did and and regardless of how popular this comment is all of this is is a result of a leftist view which in the United States is strongly influenced by feminism yeah oh that's by the way that's the other says both genders both genders felt that women had more choices in dating in relationships 22% household roles and the clothes that they wear well men were considered to have more choices in hobbies and jobs

definitely more choices in the dating market I suppose everybody would agree on the map do you think that this is uh basically a response to the rise you know the rise of feminism and I suppose you could say the general rise of liberalism post Obama uh progressive ism in jail like early Obama in 2012 and such I do think so but if you look at if you look at charts or or polls or whatever women are far more likely to be woke quote-unquote than men and I think that this is a a manifestation of that right women that are single that are are basically generally they're progressive or democrats or liberals however you want to phrase it they still want the same kind of help that women that are conservative get from their husbands their and men in their life but because they think of themselves as independent they want that help to come from the government so instead of saying well I'm gonna get married and I'm gonna have a man that takes care of the family they say well I don't want to get married I don't need

no man I have the police I have social services I have benefits from the government I have daycare there was all these roles that are filled by government making it possible for women to be quote-unquote strong independent don't need no man women like conservative women they try to find a man that will do those things and that's why they get married so they can stay home and take care of the kids or you know but I mean generally like it's hard to raise a kid it's hard to have a kid I do a lot of stuff at home for our baby but I go to work and and you know when I'm obviously I'm not home Sarah's taking care of the kids there are times where Sarah will lose out on sleep because I have to sleep more because I'm going to go into work or what have you I have to do things for for the band or for for the podcast and stuff you know and that's normal but generally like outside of stuff at the home Sarah doesn't worry about stuff like I pay all the bills you know I take care of the house I take care of all of the things that need to be taken care of and she take basically outside thousand she takes care of basically inside the house that kind

of thing is has been replaced with progressive women and they tell themselves society lies to them and tells them no you don't need a man to take care of these things you don't need a man you can do this all on your own you can do you're a strong independent woman but what they don't realize is they're relying on society to do the things they're basically relying on the government to the things that men used to do is there a bit of a disconnect here because the they're you know they're saying that Gen Z men are holding this position but one of the things I find most interesting is now women are out are out earning men at a lot of jobs and they're out you know pacing them at graduating at colleges and entering the workforce so there's like a weird disconnect between the way Gen Z men hold these values and the way that they're actually moving through society I think that at least as far as women being the predominant people the majority graduating college college and stuff like that really is geared towards women it's not geared towards men anymore not geared towards the men high school more than college I think but it's also that's also

creating a trap where because of the way that jobs are set up now you get stuck in this system where you have to have five years of experience for an entry-level position and you have to have a degree despite the fact that like I said if men are graduating colleges at lower levels they're being fundamentally pushed out of certain aspects of the job market at least if you approach it in the traditional way and you don't just try to knock on the door you know it's what the boomers would say you know give them a firm handshake and hand them your resume and make eye contact and hire you yeah I mean I don't I don't know that that's actually the case anymore no it's not the idea that you can just go ahead I think so it's been changed now the fundamental market means that you have 30 requirements right there men are graduating colleges at lower levels they're not gonna get the internships because they don't have a college degree where they you know that push them into the internship and they're trying to find jobs and there's no jobs there whether you're into unsolved mysteries solved mysteries or creating your own mysteries amazon music's got millions of podcast episodes waiting just download the amazon music app and start

actually align with what they're able to provide like you said you pay the bills you take care of all of this stuff um having those views when you're not able to actually take care of the person is in congress yeah i mean look there there's a lot of there's a lot of things that are that are basically aligned against young men nowadays yeah and i think that the not just college and high school but i think the job market is also aligned against young men i mean there was that piece that came out a few weeks back that really kind of put into very very sink numbers or a very succinct argument that men are have been treat young young men specifically have been treated very very badly by society and it's largely because of feminism and because of the idea that we need to intersectional feminism more broadly but you know they want to hire someone that is diverse they want to hire women um and it's it's funny or or i guess it's it's a compounding problem because genx men are already in these positions like you said the CEOs were all straight white men right

those men are already in these positions and so it's young people that are taking the brunt so it's gen z or genx men and boomers and some millennials that have said we're going to try to diversify we're going to that's not doesn't mean that i'm quitting but that means that when it comes to hiring we're going to be hiring people that are diverse so it's it's it's it's a comedians when they like they finally start telling you you know that joke was inappropriate after they made their money telling you inappropriate jokes exactly and and so it's it's really a situation of of older you know older white men pulling the ladder up behind them when it comes to a specific demographic which is young white straight men the other thing that sucks guys is the and i hate to be the the bearer of this message which is that it's it's still untoward to to complain like it's not our job in society to complain it's our job to deal with the shit that the world throws at us and you know bear the brunt of it and keep going yeah i mean look there is still look the the silver lining is all of these and i'm going to get back to the act i question here

all kinds of white color jobs are disappearing so if you're a young guy that hasn't gone into college yet or is in college uh don't worry about learning white color jobs because by the time you get out of college in three years or what have you um those jobs are all going to be gone they're going to be they're going to be automated they're going to be computers they're going to be AI agents doing them you're starting to see it now there was a massive job loss in 2025 but there was not a corresponding declining productivity and a lot of that is because companies have downsized and what's happening is AI agents are not just getting rid of people they're making the people that do stay incredibly productive so they're doing more work the people that are actually doing more work accomplishing more with and there are fewer actual human beings involved in in the doing of the work yeah all right let's get through these super chats really quick here guys let's we are almost at a second crisis party let's get to it here ladies and gentlemen this one is from high voltage 75 says does Phil approve of his emoji you have to look on the live chat to see

your emoji you guys you should flood the chat with the Phil emoji yeah the problem is I've got my cell phones what's telling me I don't have my computer so it's tough to see but I mean generally I approve the pictures of myself so Cory Anderson says the free Britney people were fucking wrong yeah that's kind of what it seems like shaneech wilder says I own like five or six albums on CD and vinyl a number of movies and shows because they are streaming their streaming rights are in limbo and are nowhere yeah that's so much of the stuff that I love man of the streaming shows that I love I'm not able to find on other platforms I just got really excited like earlier at the end of last year when they finally put the show end game on tubi which is the show about in agoraphobic chess champion who lives in a hotel and solves mysteries and they'd only got one season start Sean Doyle I really loved it but it was never anywhere you couldn't find it anywhere so I had it on ad free tubi as one does all right shaneech wilder says Brett words is be hard hard

day be doe you are correct yes on all accounts you're very correct Brian Bletso says bring back home economics and civics in school well I got the I got kind of read the riot act with a post I made recently about apparently there is still civics class in schools it's just not taught you know with as much fervor as it used to be they don't put as much influence or time into social studies the way that they used to all right Cory Anderson says Phil what is the difference between hardcore metal core and death core music um there are there's a there is a larger difference between hardcore and metal core and death core than there is a difference between metal core and death core death core you generally don't hear any singing and it's very break down focused metal core at least modern metal core what people consider metal core now usually they're singing mixed with screams generally it tends to be a little groovy but mixed with uh with kind of

influence from European metal and hardcore is I guess it's it's a little more influenced by punk it's generally very very aggressive modern hardcore they they're using modern guitar tones there was a long time where hardcore had like really crappy guitar tones and and and they were closer to punk rock than anything else so burned oil says Phil has a nicer resemblance to Britney Spears I do I look just like you're just like a beard uh shane each wilder says caval play it smart you don't talk about your adult personal life with a child especially if they are of the opposite sex smart yep Cory Anderson says I'm a little busy right now Brett that was because he superchetted earlier about uh what did he what did he say said um I need to do my job better it's like he's like you need marry for everything is it well you know what you want to send me an assistant here to help run the show I will uh I will take it I will take whatever I can get all right all right uh username we do not say on this channel this is why I don't like being

around women or interacting with them beyond what is absolutely necessary almost all insane and not worth the trouble well I don't know about almost all insane but um risk uh risk verse reward analysis is a is a real thing yeah but that's just my leftist pro feminist take I guess not all women are insane Cory Anderson says pro war Metallica's first album name the burger wars it's gonna be my first album pro war was Metallica's first album's name what he said I thought that it was uh the demo was called no life till leather than the the first actual record release was called kill them all but yeah okay change while there's this I had a co uh I had a coworker ask where I had a coworker I said I still aligned from everybody

about he and I said filler rolling 20s oh there you go rolling 20s all right he says I'll rephrase that one because he got interrupted I had a coworker asked where I ordered my barbecue chicken when I said that I made it yes even made the dog there we go they looked at me like I had two heads yeah they saw that you made your own food and were like what not that John Stewart says order five guys fries well done you're welcome yeah Cory Anderson says in and out has the best fries second is McDonald's that's insane okay Bob Mann says the sea salt fries with a frosty is a meal I agree Cory Anderson says tried the big arch too sloppy and not remarkable I believe it dinkus con of gongolias says forget fast food CEOs eating their own burgers I want Gordon Ramsay to try all four in judge he's not as mean as he used to be I'm told I think the mean was just him putting it on for the show change Wilders says my favorite burger is from Phil's in Austin hey it's

yours Phil's in Austin my hometown of Midland has one called Michael's charcoal grill built in an old military airplane hanger nice sounds cool Ryan Bletso says get the waffle how CEO in there to fight them I did see one person say on the post all four of it says bro the KFC's CEOs going to show up in black face and take a big bite of chicken wing Bob man says the McDonald's CEO still looks like a dealer having to use his own product under duress yeah that's why the dealers provide you know they bring a junkie along to try the products don't do that guys pop culture junkie says Phil I always get a backup burger the new one is disappointed so too many times by the way Papa Johns changed their pan recipe in January much better I don't know good for them yes the backup burger is a is a great idea it's a great idea Greg Dubier says Brett if we get 20 superchats you watch Star Trek Star Trek Starfleet Academy and then tell Tim it's the best Star Trek show you

have ever watched well that would technically be true because I've never watched any Star Trek so it would technically be the best I've ever seen I'm not doing it for 20 superchats 20 crisis parties today maybe not as a standing order but if you guys give us 18 more crisis parties in the next five minutes than sure um Katie says I don't think that Australia Aussie workers are being replaced by migrants than AI then AI will replace the migrant workers I do think that she says I do think that in Australia Aussie workers are being replaced by migrants then AI will replace the migrant workers yeah I mean look that I don't know about time frames but I think the next two years you're gonna see a significant increase in the amount of agentic AI that you see out there in the world and it's going to be significantly better than the AI that people kind of use now like if you go to chatbots and stuff they're actually they're pretty good right but it's not it when you call into a call center and and you get an AI and just like press one for this press one for

that that stuff's gonna go away within the next couple years you're gonna call into a call center and you're gonna be talking to a robot and you're not gonna know it okay shaneech wilders says it has pretty much been been that way for the millennials on if you graduated anytime around the 2008 stock market crash you kind of got host I feel so much less bad about spending all my time skating man shaneech wilders says the judgmental fill is just fill from the sure Jan meme you're welcome yeah I mean that's fine corianderson says I can't type the title of metallic as 1983 album as a super chat okay yeah exploding printing says McDonald's peaked in 96 with the peppered bacon arched deluxe it's been all downhill ever since I am I am hesitant of any burger that puts too much pepper on there I feel like it's trying to distract from poor taste I feel this way specifically about specific types of angus burgers which I don't actually like the taste of very much in too

much pepper feels like they're adding it to try and distract from like a poor cut of beef not really tasting well but that's just my own thoughts on the matter all right ladies and gentlemen before we go would you all please hit the like button on this episode please subscribe to the channel if you are new here and you have not subscribed here yet already go and subscribe to the channel and become a channel member so that you can start using all of the emojis go check out the brand new members only episode that I put up yesterday with verbal riot we had a great time talking about marvel we talked about DC we talked about AI in Hollywood we talked about paramount got into a whole bunch of stuff and that is available for anybody who is a channel member so you can go ahead sign up for that now thank you guys so much and Phil thank you you're quite welcome I am filler mains on ex I am oh yeah the band is all it remains I keep going back to the old Instagram thing still but out of habit it's been on the almost the years as I got rid of Instagram anyways I'm filler remains on ex the band is all that remains you can check us out at all
