Download Bumble and try it for yourself. It says to carefully open, remove from wrapper, and then place it on the head of the erect hard penis. If uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin first. We don't have to worry. Pinch air out of the tip. Unroll all the way down the penis. After sex, but before pulling out,

hold the condom at the base, then pull out while holding the condom at the base then pull out while holding the condom in place and then carefully remove the condom and throw it in the trash so no you can't flush them down the toilet okay I'm gonna have to can you send me that because I'm gonna have to take notes because that that's actually a lot of steps that are yeah surprisingly complicated I'll just share the link with you. Thank you. I shared it in a group with Tucker

because I feel like it's something he would also like to. Yeah, well I don't think he's ever had sex but when he does for the first time. Now you wanna get started? Yeah. All right. Hello, ladies. Everybody, we're the Nostalgia Critics.

We remember it so you don't have to. Sorry, you're intro reminded me to. No, I said hello the same way. I realized that. Hello. Hello. Hi, Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to. I did go through a phase, and you know,

I'll always, of course, probably have little mini phases of watching Doug, but I remember I had a huge phase where I was binging all of his like reviews and stuff. I was actually interested in his opinions. Not so much like I'm not gonna... it was like on like Beauty and the Beast and shit. Oh, okay. Just like old movies that I wanted his opinion on.

Did you hold his opinion in high regard? Did you hold it in high regard? I don't... it was more like it was just like something to watch. Like, uh oh, what is he gonna find wrong with this movie? Was it kind of like a... So were you watching into actually, cause you're curious about his opinion because he's silly and you wanted to- Cause I like- What's the personality?

Okay. And I was enjoying his content. Now when you say phase, how old were you? I wanna say this is like near beginning of super mega-ish. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Because I knew about him when I watched some stuff beforehand, but I really kind of like binged a lot of his stuff. I remember I was on vacation

at like at the beach with my family. Right. And and I would just I'd be up later than everyone else and it would just be me alone On the on the porch of like a rented beach house Like you know probably from the distance. Yeah Like some guy walking down the beach at night and just the sounds of the way I'd say like some guy walking down the beach at night and just the sounds of the waves and then the distance like, mm, mm, mm. Followed by your, mm, mm, mm. Your giggles echoing through like across the beach,

across the sands. Good times, good times. I've never had a phase for, I mean, I've seen Doug's videos, but I've never actually had a phase where I was like into it and continuously watched. Why, it's all right, dude, not everyone's into the same stuff. You know, so.

You had a Chris Stuckman phase though, right? Of course. I got Stuckmanized. I also. You wouldn't lie to me about being Stuckmanized. I would not ever lie to you about being Stuckmanized. That's not the kind of thing I would joke or lie about. So just don't even, like why would you even think

I would lie about being Stuckmanized? You know what's cool about Chris Stuckman? I will say is that he was 10 inches that of course but that and He got picked up Picked him up How lies he's making a?

He was making like an independent horror movie that was like I think was somewhat crowdfunded or mostly crowdfunded at least like there was a big crowdfunding at least held for it nice and they got picked up by neon Wow which is crazy which is kind of like I would say the I'm not saying this as a diss it's like the what I would think is like the tier below A24. That's exactly what I was gonna say. I was gonna say it's the poor man's A24.

No, but they're like, they've released a lot of good movies and stuff and they've won a lot of rewards and shit. Like they don't, they're not known for just putting out anything and everything just because something's popular. They have people with visions that make movies and stuff. I like their little logo before a movie with the sign. I love those, I'm very interested in the design of studios, like intro logos before a movie. I love Ridley Scott's.

Which one? Ridley Scott's. Isn't that the one with like the bird? for a movie because some of them. I love Ridley Scott's. Which one? Ridley Scott's. Isn't that the one with like the bird? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where it's like, like. Like a silhouette. And it's kind of like morphing. I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Where it's almost like. Like the shadow is. Yes. Morphs into the bird or something like that. You know what's so nostalgic that. The Brookheimer opening. With the tree in the Outback that the lightning kangaroo Jack. Yes. Yeah, that's

what I was gonna say. I was literally gonna say well, it's like super fast and then in the kangaroo Jack, they did add the kangaroos. That is Brookheimer, huh? Yep. Jerry Brookheimer and also the New Line Cinema ones where it's like blue and it has the things like sliding across the screen. I just thought I Hope to God he sticks with it because like him and Jeremy Johns Jeremy They're both like old like back-in-the-day movie reviewers that still put up content today and Jeremy Johns still has like the same design of like that

PowerPoint 3d text saying subscribe at the end of his videos and stuff and Chris Stuckman still has like the same design of like that PowerPoint 3D text saying subscribe at the end of his videos and stuff. And Chris Stuckman still has that kind of, it's a remix but that Apple loop. Or that guitar riff. And I'm really hoping that he does, he thinks it would be sentimental. But I'm hoping that he had the thought of

the sentimentality of having that Apple loop in some way be Played during his like production logo And I've never heard his theme song But I know exactly the Apple loop because I used it all the time in GarageBand when I was in like fifth and sixth grade my dad had a computer for his architecture shindig or I guess Shindig is giving it too much credit. He thought it was his job.

Hobby, side hobby. Not even a hobby. Side hobby? Usually you're good at a hobby. Interest. Yeah, interest works. Small personal interest. Yeah, and he got a Mac,

and that's how I started making music, was just messing around with garage band in fifth and that's how I started making music, was just messing around in a garage band in fifth and sixth grade. And those Apple loops, man, they slap. They fucking, they carried my weight for so long. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. I still remember, I don't know if this is an Apple loop.

I think it is, but it was the opening for our news program for our high school that we'd use, it was dun dun dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. It just loops like that throughout the entire thing. It probably is, because there were like the well-known Apple loops that were already full songs, and then there were the Apple loops that were just like

notes and samples, like different riffs that you could change the instrument on. Fucking do Drama Alert, Keemstar, the Drama Alert music is literally just an Apple loop song that is built in. Isn't that logo like just like an insert text template thing to like with the globe and everything? It's literally like none of that was made for Drama Alert.

It's all just Apple Loops and then the, whatchamacallit, like I don't know where they got it. I've seen it before though. I think people on Fiverr use it. Why not? Hey man. And well, I will say the thing that was made specifically for Keemstar's videos were those thumbnails.

They were fantastic. Of course. They were really, really good. Keem has an eye for graphic design. If he was the one doing those. Really good stuff. I might actually reach out to him and see if he wants to be our new thumbnail artist. Okay. Tell me how that goes

Yeah, I've been you know Not sick of making the thumbnails. It's just a lot of time. So oh, I understand Keem could maybe you know jump in and Give over some of his talents and wisdom which he has a lot of a lot older than you Yeah, I mean with age comes wisdom. in his case looks, charisma, money, one of those is real. He's like, you know, he's like Tom Cruise, he doesn't age. Yeah, he's a YouTube starlet that never ages, Keemstar. Does Tom Cruise, do you think it's like, what if... No, he definitely is, like look at his face. Yeah. That, like same with like Paul Rudd, where it's like Paul Rudd doesn't age. It's

like yeah it's because they're just kind of like ending their 30s going into their 40s and like they have good Hollywood shit then they kind of start edging their 50s. I feel like Tom Cruise is near like 60 in his early 60s by now so he all of that like skin care and whatever Hollywood can afford him in terms of like treatments and the, and of course the Fountain of Youth which unfortunately we haven't been invited to the party yet for the invitation to even go through the gates to get to the Fountain of Youth. That's a whole other story. I don't want to. It's a Scientology. I don't want to get into it. Scientology has, they ended up getting what ownership or the rights to the fountain of youth Yeah, so that makes sense why he looks that way and Travolta hasn't aged a day since Pulp Fiction What?

Looks great and Tom Cruise though does legitimately Age incredibly well, and I'm guessing Honestly, it's not hard to age incredibly well and I'm guessing, honestly it's not hard to age that well if you just take care of yourself. Like if you start using sunscreen and have a skincare routine in your early 20s, you can age really well. I'm only just now really starting a skincare routine

like in the morning and at night and it's one of those things where I have a whole regimen, I did a lot of research and my face is awful right now because I just started and I'm breaking out and I have bruise regimen, I did a lot of research, and my face is awful right now, because I just started, and I'm breaking out, and I have bruise on my face, but it's one of those things where I'm just like, fuck, I wish I started this when I was 23.

Like, put on sunscreen every day, big one. Well, you can continue to regret, or you can just focus on the now and what you can accomplish. Exactly. You can start putting on sunscreen. Don't let the years that you haven't continue to build up. Just because you're just like,

oh, it's just too late for me. You're never too old to learn something new. I already look like I'm essentially 60. What would sunscreen help with? That was sarcasm, by the way. Dumbass. You know, my mother says, every joke has a bit of truth.

Did she read that off of a fortune cookie or something? No, she read it off of 4chan. Hey. She's a beetard and she was on there and. Beetard. Oh man. 4chan's still like a thing. Oh yeah.

Didn't like, was it that that got taken down at one point? That was Kiwi Farms that got taken down. Oh okay, okay. And Kiwi Farms is back up, but basically, I remember Kiwi Farms when they were got taken down at one point? That was Kiwi Farms that got taken down. Okay, okay. And Kiwi Farms is back up, but basically, I remember Kiwi Farms when they were getting taken down. That's really kept track of Chris Chan. Yeah, well, Kiwi Farms is a very not good website because it's just dedicated to harassing

different individuals. Love it. I love it. Great, wonderful. But Cloudflare wouldn't host them anymore, and Cloudflare hosts some pretty bad websites so it's that a lot and every time they would get a new domain they got like a Russian one they got like a it always got shut down so I don't know what they have now but they're

still around. Keep the brand alive I guess. 4chan is alive and well. I only know that because I see stuff on I don't go on 4chan, I don't go on 4chan at all, ever. What? Nothing, nothing, nothing. Cut that awkward pause out because people are going to think that I go on 4chan. No, I mean you just stated that you don't go on 4chan.

I said I don't go on 4chan. Just because there's an awkward pause doesn't mean that you are going go on 4chan. I said I don't go on 4chan. Just because there's an awkward pause doesn't mean like, like that you are going on 4chan, you know, today. And the term, when I called you a beatard, that was just a random thing I came up with off the spot, not a used. Because then that puts the onus on you for saying it in the first place. Oh my God.

Just kidding. You were referencing an actual terminology that's used to categorize people of this specific fan base. And I learned it against my will. Someone said it to me and I said, what what what did you say? Like the Pledge of Allegiance. It was against our will. We were just kind of like they screamed it into our brains when we were young and so malleable. I don't remember ever learning the Pledge of Allegiance. I've just always known it. It's one of those things. Isn't that crazy?

Well, it was never something that like, you know, go home and memorize. It was just like, it was a, you stood up and eventually you learned it because you felt stupid if you weren't saying it. You get in trouble at my school. If you didn't stand up, what's your hand in there for? Well it was seen as an act of protest, right? Where it was like, well, they did change it. I mean, our schools, you know, there was still a lot of talks about the people who would do this, but you know, they do the Pledge of Allegiance, but you were allowed to sit down because of the under God part if you were of a different religion,

you were allowed to respect your religion. You say quiet, you're quiet at that part. That's what I, people in my high school, there was a kid that would say the Pledge on the morning broadcast thing, and every time They said under God he would stop talking and then pick it back up Go you go one nation

Indivisible with liberty and justice, you know, and I respect it takes a lot of guts to do that It's it's actually to be a traitor to to the country that that coddled you and you're right and took care of you You and you were young. I was completely wrong. Gave you an education system free of charge. And I feel like an idiot. America's always been there for me, whether it's. Decent healthcare, making sure its citizens

are well taken care of financially. Taking care of my medical issues, you know. Teaching me good and keeping me well fed, all sorts of stuff. Like how America loves being treated like a stepchild being taught responsibility. You know? Yeah.

It's like we really get off to that shit for some reason. Oh yeah. Are you responsible? Can I give my car keys over to you? In a microcosm? That's kind of like how I feel they are about bigger issues sometimes. That makes a lot of sense.

The pledge, I remember I had kids in my class that would actually get in trouble for, and be like, hey, stand up, and if someone refused and they had to go to the principal's office. Okay. And it's like, I think that's dumb. Not standing for the pledge is what I think is dumb, that's what I meant.

But it's really crazy though, it's super like, when you think about it, because it's so normal to us, we don't really think about it, but then when you get older, you're literally putting your hand on your heart and saying, I pledge allegiance to my flag. Words have meaning.

It's crazy. They didn't have any meaning when I was young. It was just a thing you said. Well I remember it's like I do remember when I was young just kind of like saying certain words like LMNOP when I was young you know I wasn't saying letters I was just like LMNOP. Yep you don't actually think about what the thing is it's just it's how it sounds and it's what you say. But eventually, you know, I learned. It took until around middle school. Right, well, yeah.

I mean, we all, like we said earlier, you're never too old to learn something new. Speaking of which, have you been still keeping up learning the hair stuff, the barbery, the barbership? Yeah, I have a, what is it called, an apprenticeship. I've been working on it, I've been working on a few cuts. Nice, who have you been cutting? They only have me on either elderly people who wouldn't care, blind people or mannequins. Okay, so you're, I mean, but that's really noble.

You're helping those in need, except for the mannequins, because they don't have feelings or anything. I think it's a bit rude of the shop that I work for to accept a blind clientele and just kind of throw them to the wolves, like beginners and stuff. I wouldn't say you're the wolves. But, I don't know. I don't think it's a great thing that they do, excluding, I guess they're not excluding them.

It's just that they think they look nice when they go out. And it's a, they have us practicing the He-Man haircut on them. Oh no, really? What are you telling them? Because my hair, the person who runs the shop, he's very persistent that it is coming back. Okay, but he's pretty old though. Yeah, I mean he looks alright.

Here's a picture of him. He wears it himself. He's very proud of it. It doesn't look bad on him. I will say yeah, I mean you remember Luke went to the went to the same spot yeah They thought he was blind for some reason because he was just bumbling around the the lobby area and he and the way he puts his clothes on he accidentally tripped over a wire and then Yeah, I came smashing a gumball and all the gumball started spilling

and people started slipping. I couldn't, I'm sorry. I was looking away, I was trying so hard. Did you, could you see me just like, the moment the gumball machine came out. The gumball's going everywhere. Oh fuck, that is good shit. I was gonna say they thought he was blind The gumball's going everywhere. Oh, fuck. That is good shit.

I was going to say they thought he was blind so they sent him to me and that's why he has the He-Man haircut in this photo right here. Oh, man. Oh, you know, you got the tears in my eyes. You're fucking cracking me up today. Since we first, you know, we pulled up pretty close at the same time in the parking lot. We got out of our cars together, walked into the super mega office.

Like an egg for breakfast. You were, okay, yeah, and you were cracking jokes. Like an egg on breakfasts Eve. Okay, yes, like an egg on breakfasts Eve. And I was cackling. I was really loud with my laugh. It was a cacophony of jubilance. Okay. Huh? You have been

looking at the thesaurus haven't you? Is that a good title for the episode? A cacophony of jubilance? It's not a bad title at all. Right? Yeah. Can that, can it be in like really cool text on the thumbnail too because it's such a cool title? I actually, I think that's a great idea. A cacophony of jubilance. Okay. So that just means a bunch of. A cacophony of jubilance. Okay. So that just means a bunch of fun. Yeah. Bunch of fun. Cacophony is like a loud overwhelming boisterous like overwhelming I feel. Oh I didn't know that.

Whoops. I thought it was like a like a bunch of something. Like I think it is but I think it's a bunch of loud noise. Like it's a it's a lot it's like a it's it's a lot it's I maybe it's because I've only heard it in like, the context of it, I usually think of kind of like a bunch of brass and string instruments just going as loud as they can essentially. That's exactly what it is, it's both what we said, it's a harsh discordant mixture of noises.

Yeah. So it's a... I was pictured a giant orchestra just playing different things off key, very loud. A cacophony of deafening alarm bells is the example sentence. And if you guys want to experience even more jubilant cacophonies, take a listen to these ad reads. Lion Mickey. See, I'm not doing the... Okay. Hey, not too much. I'm not doing the He-Man thing. Not too much.

Okay. And hold up. Okay. And hold up. Okay. Oh, careful, man. Sorry. Does it look all right, though? Yeah.

Ready? Oh, yeah. How does it feel? It feels much better, dude. Yeah. Let me look in the monitor. Yeah, dude, that's not bad at all. That's pretty close to my old hairstyle.

I gave my buddy my first haircut. I think I've been doing, you know, they're training me well. Dude, I mean, this is your first time stepping outside of the He-Man haircut. Yeah. And I genuinely, I was ready for the He-Man haircut because I said I don't want the He-Man haircut but you've been learning a lot so give me your best and I was expecting the He-Man haircut. So I'm been learning a lot so give me your best and I was expecting the He-Man haircut So I'm very you know you captured my essence pretty well, right? Yeah, it's uh I think it shapes your face really well I look so much darker on camera. Yeah blue light

But I don't know I'm looking at myself in the in the monitor right now. It's uh fun stuff Put the makeup on my bruise. Okay It's uh fun stuff Put the makeup on my bruise. Okay, just look just looks alright. It's alright to me. I guess I don't know I don't I don't put makeup on I'm scared of it, dude. I know it makes me uneasy I put I'll put a little like if I have extra dark circles in my eyes before the podcast sometimes I'll do a little people love those dark circles though. You have dark circle fans and you're Your ladies love you're starving them. You're not quenching their thirst anymore. I start to put like, very like intentional,

but I just look sickly and like, definitely ill. That's me dude, that's just me. Like sometimes I look in the mirror before we record and I'm like, fuck, I look like I've been smoking crack for like two days straight. We just need to get like a Like a camera in there get get a spray bottle or it's just because then you'd be like sweating looking in the mirror We got a maybe get some I'd like just get some eye drops to get your eyes a little glossy and stuff It would be a good shot. Yeah 100% for like a don't do

Coke or crack. Yeah, you're like heroin methamphetamine crack and methamphetamine are alright heroin I wouldn't touch that and and and coke you know nowadays with coke is the poor man's crack yep and it's also could have fentanyl that's not true it is there's like I do imagine people in the imagine people with Coke heads in the comments just furious. It's a lot more pure and more expensive. As long as you get it from a trusted dealer you have nothing to worry about. That's not true whatsoever.

Nope. And even if you have a very trusted dealer, and I know none of our fans would ever do this, but if you happen to purchase cocaine or you're at a party or a social function where cocaine is going, someone flips it out. Or D'Urve plate. Yeah sure. Why not? You're at, that sounds like a Hollywood kind of like a, that's actually like a big, what

is it, a cabal. A Hollywood cabal and the guy has the hors d'oeuvres tray with lines of Coke and he comes around and he's like, line? Yeah. And there's a little cup of like dollar, hundred dollar bills that you roll up. Just smoke weed. Or crack. Or crack.

That's not dangerous either. But always, especially nowadays guys, just even if you see someone else do it right before you, that does not guarantee that there's not a little grain of fentanyl in there or you can use them as like a safety measure you know like how someone would test the Kings never mind that's obviously a joke that's not I don't want people if you're going to do also incentivizing them to like use people as their personal test man for cocaine you want to some coke I've been ripping through this bag all like all week it's pretty, you want to do some coke? I've been ripping through this bag all week. It's pretty good. You want to try? Can you just rub a little

on your gums and see what happens real quick? Of course dude. Oh sweet. But it is an epidemic. Dude I did not realize until recently the number of deaths of opioid deaths in America yearly. Isn't it the highest cause? I believe it after heart disease maybe? Well after heart disease and like cancer? Something that's not, is it above cancer? Opioid death rate. It's actually fucking crazy.

I know it's a high death rate in America because there's a epidemic sweeping the nation. Yeah, do you listen to the opioid overdose statistics? I heard this recently and it just blew my fucking mind because obviously I know that we have like an issue with opioids in America, like a really bad one, whether it's like oxy or fentanyl or heroin or whatever. Well, they're fucking addictive as shit. It's like the best thing in the world. That's why fucking people throw their life away for heroin. Well, Matt is talking from the perspective of someone who takes this drug and it becomes mentally the best thing in the world.

It is not some secret best thing in the world that you're not experiencing. It's not. Wait until you try it. No, no. that you're not experiencing. It's not. Wait until you try it. No, no, but I mean it's one of those things that like I've never done heroin for the record, but it's such a powerful opioid that when you do it, the way it explodes the chemicals in your brain

makes it like life sucks after that. And you can't achieve that good feeling or happiness unless you're on it, which is really sad. Because it can really damage your brain. But how many people, since the epidemic began, how many people do you think have died from overdoses in the US? Over 100,000, 200,000?

560,000. Jesus fucking Christ. And currently it's eight times higher than it was in 1999. And 2020 alone were 69,000. That's like insane how many people that is. Well that's it's it's those numbers where it's, you know, there's always like there's typically like a subject matter that this correlates to, but it's like we all, everybody knows someone at least through some grapevine

that is struggling with an addiction, like drug addiction. Right, right. And it's sad, it's a disease. And me like alcoholism or something, but I guess like opiate addiction like is the subject that I'm talking about. So it's like, I do feel like it is one of those things that is romanticized a lot in art and hasn't been,

like it's taken very seriously, but it's just one of, just one of those things that I don't think the right amount and enough attention and help is being broadcasted. Yeah, and it's one of those things where opioids really target like rural areas. And it's actually crazy the statistics of the companies that make them. They're like genuinely evil.

And the amount that's prescribed to like poor rural areas in middle America compared to more popular areas that have more affluence, it's crazy. And in 2022, it was 84,000. Look at a heat map of that, I'm sure it's insane. Oh, it's crazy, it's crazy. And yeah, the companies that make that shit just completely like no morals or like,

you don't really have feelings, I think, if you're able to. Oh there's a certain point right where you get up into the billionaire range where you have to I I don't think it's like a choice I think it's something that honestly from my, that people must do. They must kind of dip their toes into the, negative's not the right word. The morality slipping away. Yeah, yeah, the negative morality. It's becoming sociopathic. I think that it's something that happens slowly over time.

It's not like, oh, I just got a million dollars. There go my morals. Yeah. Like, I'm gonna choose to throw my morals away. I think it is. But also at the same time, there's some.. Like I'm gonna choose to throw my morals away, I think it is, but also at the same time there's some. Well I'm saying the business practices of that of a millionaire is that of like someone who's gotten to the point where they're everyday,

like they're just not thinking of that. And like call it sociopathic, call it whatever you want, it's just they're on a different fucking plane of existence. For sure. They are experiencing reality through the lens that only like below 1% of people on this planet will ever get to really understand. Millionaires. I'm not saying that as like a praise thing, saying that as like a- It's awesome.

Saying that as like a, if people are always complaining that billionaires are out of touch and it's like no shit they're out of touch. They exist and literally their reality is so different from 99.9% of every other American, every other person in the world. And businesses get big enough and you start talking like I don't know, you're getting like,

I'm sure like the business circles, right, of like the big upper echelon businesses. Like us and the other Let's players. Yeah, sure. Like billionaire companies or whatever. You know, you talk around and it starts that whole thing of like, well this company's doing it, and to be profitable we have to do this thing as well.

Right. But I'm not saying they actually have to do those things, that's just. It's normalized? Yeah, it's normalized because money, money and all those billionaires are funding a lot of important programs.

And by programs, I mean the government in which runs this country. They billionaires give a lot of donations to politicians and so like not to get political but it's like no wonder shit's fucked. Oh yeah, corporations, like the fact that lobbying is legal and allowed is insane.

It's not just like a public, and I know it's like that whole like, well a billionaire's a private citizen too. Or it's like, yeah but at what point do you say money in the United States is power and how much power are you willing to give someone over like our government, like the institutions of our government? Citizens United was that thing that got passed a long time ago

that said, I think the Supreme Court passed it and said that corporations have the same rights as citizens which allows corporations to basically it's really fucked It's it's just made for mega rich people and millionaires are 100% Not every millionaire obviously, but there's but I would say a large majority of millionaires Just see the world completely different because they don't have to deal with the regular struggles that 99% of people have to deal with Yeah, they don't have to deal with the regular struggles that even like Moderately rich people have to deal with you They don't have to deal with the regular struggles that even moderately rich people have to deal with.

As I said, their worlds are completely different. I'm thinking, millionaires and billionaires, even though I can't even conceptualize what it's like to be a millionaire, I'm trying to be humble that way these days. But it even comes from that, I guess I'm trying to, how to explain it,

it's just the distance from a millionaire to a billionaire is still a whole lot bigger than from a millionaire than to like a medium income household. You know what I mean? Oh yeah, yeah. I mean even bigger than from a millionaire than to like a medium income household. You know what I mean? Oh yeah, yeah. I mean, even the distance from a millionaire to a high income household that's less than a million, like a family where the husband and wife are both,

they work good jobs and maybe. Good six figures combined. Like a family that does a very high combined income of like 300,000 a year Yeah, still so far off from people who have millions and and billions. I think one of the big problems is The reason people don't see a bigger issue with billionaires is because it's just the next step up from million So they're like, what's the big deal? It's just a big fucking step, dude from millions so they're like, what's the big deal? It's just the next step up. It's a big fucking step dude.

No, let me put this in perspective. It's like the cosmic calendar, you know, like measure, okay, not on that scale of course, but it's the same ideas are present, I feel. Yeah, so a billion is 1000 million or one million million. So it means you have a million, just to be the bare minimum of a billionaire, you have to have a million dollars a million million. So it means you have a million, just to be the bare minimum of a billionaire, you have to have a million dollars a million times.

Yes. Like, and then you have people that are encroaching on trillionaire status. And it's unbelievable. On r slash be amazed, I just pulled this up. Okay, here we go. This was the example I was looking for to really understand that difference. It's not just like oh, it's the next step up

People don't have a strong intuitive sense of how much bigger 1 billion is than 1 million 1 million seconds is 11 days 1 billion seconds is let's take a guess Just tell me Okay 31 and a half years. So a million is 11 days of seconds and a billion seconds is 31.5 years. Wait. Yeah. So a million, a thousand times is a billion, not a million, a million times, right?

Because a million, a million times is 12 zeros at the end of a one, huh? Yeah, a billion is a numerical value that represents 1,000 million or 1 million million. What does one, you mean like- What does that, wait, hold on, that's confusing. I think 1 million million is saying like that's, like you would have a- What is it saying with that? It literally, like when I typed it on Google. Because it's 1,000 times is a billion,

but still getting a million 1,000 times. Like just count one to 1,000. And like just do that starting now and just like as boring as it would be. And then think about every second you're counting is a million dollars being added to an account. Wow. But then there are multi-billionaires.

I guess most billionaires are not just like 1.2 billion, 1.1 billion. Yeah, it seems like with a lot of billionaires it tends to be like 46 billionaires. Yeah, so a lot. What, like what? I was about to say that a million, a million times is a lot. What, like what? I was about to say that a million, a million times is a billion.

Sorry, no, that blew me away because that's what it's, the way they worded that sentence doesn't make sense. They said 1,000 million or a million million. So that's literally what it says word for word. Like if the number was said incorrectly and someone said a million million instead of a billion It literally just says a billion is a it's one of the when comes up on google like as the answer 110 times or 100 that i'm trying to understand. I think they meant to type 1 million thousand

I think our brains are just too small. Unfortunately We didn't finish our well, we finished our high school education. Elon currently is the richest man on earth. And people that are watching this a decade from now. Is he? Yep. As of July 2024, Elon Musk has a net worth of $218 billion. For some reason, I thought that like, some Saudi prince had way more than him.

No, I mean, they have, it's crazy money, but they don't have. It's still insane wealth. 200 billion. I mean, why is it a dude like Elon that gets 200 billion fucking dollars? Because it doesn't, because it does, good morals does not equate to money.

Bad morals equals an incline of money. Typically, well, as we have said, the billion range. You cannot make, I mean, sure, you can probably say, that's technically no, but it's like, I don't think you can ethically make $1 billion without having to do some morally and ethically bad stuff, whether it's like worker abuse or whether it's fucking people over like.

I mean, a lot of companies that aren't even billionaire companies already do the stuff where it's just like poor work conditions, outsourcing, specifically to places that have poor working conditions because it's cheap labor. You know, as much as, you know, all these places love America, they sure love working outside of it, I will say.

Oh yeah. They love working outside of it. China. I mean, we're not good for making stuff, I guess. Yeah. But I would like to have a billion dollars. Right now. The thing is, like, those decisions could be made in terms of, like, good, like, honestly,

decisions could be made where, like, the people that are... Think of the image that you think of, of working in the, like, people working in those factories, making toys and iPhones and whatever the fuck it is. Now picture the people who own those companies and the amount of money they have. They 100% have enough money to make those places lavish as fuck and to give really good pay and it wouldn't really hurt them all that much. Not just the company but the actual head of the company. You could get some hot tubs in there, you could get a movie theater in there. Dude, they could be building iPhones from hot tubs.

Yeah! Legitimately, but that is why they have so much money. It's because the conditions are that shit. Because they're paying so little and making so much from it. And they hoard wealth. That's another big one. Yeah. But hopefully after these ad reads,

we'll stop boring you guys. Okay. 🎵 Ladies and gentlemen, Pickle Rick has entered the building. They don't call me that anymore. Oh. Let's redo that. Okay.

Yeah, I'm thinking no, but it is Howard then Cuz Leonard is the main Like the main character.

Simon Helberg was Howard. Didn't the guy that played Shellman also play Raj? They just did makeup and would mirror him in scenes? And cut off two feet of his height with green screen after effects? Yep, that's pretty cool. That show, dude, my mom and dad, especially my mom, loved The Big Bang Theory.

My dad and stepmom watched that as well, as well as Modern Family. Yep, they loved it. My mom watched Modern Family all the time. Family Feud. Family Feud's great. Is that the one with the host? Steve Harvey.

Yeah, Steve Harvey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They said what? I just remember my dad and I used to be really big into who wants to be a millionaire. I think that will forever be like the most kind of nostalgic old TV. I put that in the era, well, I put that in the era well I put that in the same era as like Steve Irwin America's Funniest Home Videos oh yeah yeah yeah

that was such a good time of television dude when Howie Mandel hosted it who wants to be a millionaire he never hosted it fucking dealer no deal I'm sorry I never watched dealer no deal I only really discovered dealer no deal because of the game that was at Frankie's fun park Oh really? Deal! No deal! Is that the one that has like the the ball? Yeah, and then you have to hit deal. Yeah, it's the suitcases. See shows like that were shows that I've only watched when I was like home sick from school. So, you know, it'd be like

11 a.m. And I'm on the couch going So, you know, it'd be like 11 a.m. and I'm on the couch going, eh, eh, and I never. Faking your cough. Yeah, always. I never ever would get to watch TV during the middle of the day on a weekday because I'd be in school.

So it was always such a like, oh my God, it was so exciting getting to watch TV. And these were just the local channels because we had eight before I got cable in like eighth or ninth grade. But I honestly missed those just the local channels because we had eight before I got cable in like eighth or ninth grade Yeah, but I honestly missed those like eight local channels. I had them on lock and it was like two six eight 24 like they were weird random numbers. Do you remember like

Flipping through the television and like every now and then there there'd be like one or two in a row channels where it'd just be static. Oh yeah because the numbers weren't there were a bunch but I think my remote had an option where it would skip automatically that was a feature that came out later it was like it would just go to the actual next channel that has something live or anything. I remember a TV guide having to look at you know having to actually keep up with the shows that you enjoyed Oh, yeah in the newspaper I used to check the newspaper to see what shows were playing that a lot from movie times or just rolling up to the movie Theater and having to look at the uh, what's it called?

Marquis the marquee and like seeing you know reading up And then you are then you you make the decision like right there at the theater. It's like, okay Let's grab dinner first thing then go see them. Yeah shit. There's tickets like right now. Let's go. Let's see this shit Dude, I remember going to the movies without having a movie in mind to watch you just know that there's several movies out I want to go see a movie you want to go to the movies He had a movie and then it's like, huh Okay, we can go to this one now or we can you know, we can wait an hour and walk around and that one's rated R so we can't see that, unfortunately.

You know, that's why I had to go watch the first Planet of the Apes, modern one by myself, because I went to go see 30 Minutes or Less with my sister and her boyfriend. Really? And I was one week away from being able to see, or one month away from being able to see an R rated movie. I think Daniel and I walked out of 30 Minutes or Less.

Is that the pizza bomb movie? Yeah, which is kind of fucked up because there's a real case. It's a very interesting case because it does deal, but instead of like young Jesse Eisenberg type of folks, it's like a bunch of like 30 to 50 year old southern hicks that this story revolves around from my recollection. Yeah.

So I, so I remember when it first happens, the, uh, it was like, for those who don't know, basically this guy walks into a bank with a bomb strapped around his neck and he's like, all right, give me the money. And he was supposed to rob several banks in one day. Yeah. And basically they didn't give give, they have a timer, right. We later found out and I think this is important.

They never truly, they did the math afterwards, they never gave him truly enough time to complete all the robberies without the bomb going off. So it's just like he was set up to fail to begin with. He was a pizza delivery driver that, the story was that he was a pizza delivery driver. He delivered to this remote area. These guys grab him, strap a bomb to his thing.

Not his thing, his neck. I think they were like weird connections. There's other things within the story. And they send him out and they say that we're gonna be watching you. You're not gonna know where we are, but we're watching you. And if you go to the police or say anything, we'll detonate it and you'll die.

And he ended up getting surrounded by the police. There's footage of his final moments. Yeah, and then it blew up. And I saw that on TV. Because they couldn't help him. There's an exploit, like the moment they go to try to help, what, you know. Well, they have the bomb squad around him.

And then I guess the timer went off or something. It's very sad, but I remember when I was, I think I was probably in sixth or seventh grade, I saw a clip of it. I watched, my parents were out at dinner. It was like a Friday evening. You're not talking about the movie. No, no, no. Okay, the movie came out when we were in like high school. There was a show on, I don't remember what channel, but it was doing like famous, scary

crime things and they did a feature on that and then they showed the footage But they blurred out when it exploded and I remember it upset me so much and my mom got home and I remember I I was like telling her about it and she remembered the case and I was just like crying because I was so I remember My mom gave me a big hug came out in 2011 Yeah, but I do remember walking out of it we were just like We didn't think it was funny and we were getting bored. So he left We thought it was like cringe at the time. It's not

Based on the real thing though, right? No, but I do believe in the marketing. It's like inspired by a true events an event where a man had his head entirely blown off But wasn't there's weird connections though with that case. You're right. I don't know what they are but I remember there was like More information came out where it's not as simple as these guys grabbed him and strapped a bomb there were multiple like Villains and the guy read is the bomb strapped. I don't think he was a villain He was just like was he involved in it though like he knew about it I think he knew like because they were all like criminals like small-time criminals from

what I remember yeah I don't know if he was I know he was linked to them in some way I don't think he was just a complete stranger that they snatched if yeah if he was that might have been the story I'd have to rewatch something about it to get all the facts straight. The only thing that I know for sure is some guy, unfortunately, got a bomb strap to his neck and then was forced to do the most impossible Mario Party mini game of all time.

All right, how about this, a sketch? We'll do a sketch inspired by that, but instead of robbing a bank, it's something ridiculous. Something else. We have to deliver five pizzas before the 15 minute timer goes off. I wish Mr. Beast would do videos like that. We've strapped a bomb to this guy's neck! And if he can deliver five pizzas within 15 minutes, it won't detonate. Well soon maybe, you know.

He's gonna do that? I'm just thinking, soon in a grand scale sense, Mr. Beast becomes president. The president now, the electoral branch doesn't have to, it has immunity. So if while he was in office he decided to do a sketch where he's doing these things himself, You're right. He can have immunity for it because he's currently in office. Right, because the Supreme Court recently ruled that presidents have complete and total immunity

from being prosecuted as long as whatever they do is an official act. So if they can commit- Did I call it the electoral branch? You did. But I didn't wanna- Executive branch. I didn't wanna correct you and say executive and be like a smarmy little asshole.

No, I know. But see, I'm glad that you caught it. It's like when Biden called- Executive, legislative, judicial. Checks and balances. You guys remember that from the last episode? Yeah. Sorry, two episodes ago?

Come on. It was two episodes ago. I guess. No, it wasn't. It was two episodes ago. It was one or two ago and it was the Super Mini Show. Okay. Where we talked about the branches of government and it was based.

the left side of the coin which is the YouTube. Right, right. And really this is a disgusting display. Right. Well and then cut to the the mini show. Look at this hot dame. Yeah. Even though I'm pretty sure we started several podcast episodes. It's been there for many episodes. Showing it off and turning and making sure people got a good view. It's a sexy Meg Griffin figurine for the audio. But the left is very sex positive. Yeah Hey, basically guys the reason that patreon is The right-wing stuff and YouTube's the left-wing stuff. We're willing to change our views just on whichever sponsors pay more Yeah, it's like if you know if the Republican sponsors won't give us much money

We'll definitely change our views publicly and then the left-wing stuff goes on Patreon. So, but as it stands. Right-wing stuff goes on Patreon. No, I would say if the right-wing sponsors paid us money, we'd swap it. Yeah. But, speaking of Patreon, on-screen, right this very freaking second.

Nuh-uh. Is it too early? No. Okay, well right now. They're going, you can see them right now right now. You can see them right now. Yeah you can see them right now guys they are scrolling.

didn't get the regular tier which we are very thankful for everyone who even joins the Patreon and gives it a look. But these people that you see are producers. And there's two types of producers. Yeah, if you look above that list, there's a much nicer list that has a random emoji. It's like, there's like 100-something random emojis, and it picks one randomly for each executive producer. They're a little cooler.

But shout out to these people for helping make the podcast possible and also for supporting our right wing ideals. Yeah, so thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
