4:00

But we didn't think this was exciting enough, so

4:02

then we asked Chat GPT to add robots. Oh,

4:05

good. So Travis, do you wanna? Add

4:07

a lot of that. Yeah, so adding robots

4:10

to the plot of Sound of Hope could

4:12

introduce a fascinating blend of human emotion and

4:14

futuristic technology, transforming the movie into a sci-fi

4:16

drama. Here's how the story

4:19

might evolve. In a near future world

4:21

where robots and humans co-exist, the story

4:23

follows a washed up musician named Alex

4:26

who discovers an abandoned robot

4:28

designed to teach music. named

4:32

Echo, this robot possesses advanced AI

4:34

capable of

4:36

understanding and creating music, but it's uniquely programmed to

4:39

interact and adapt to the emotional responses of its

4:41

students. What is love? Wasn't there a robot movie

4:43

with a robot called Echo already? Earth to Echo,

4:45

was the robot's name? I know there was a

4:47

movie called Earth to Echo, like a Disney movie.

4:49

There was, or something that. But I don't know

4:51

if Echo was the... I'm blanking on that. Echo's

4:53

in the name of some movie my kids liked.

4:55

But I don't know if it was a robot.

4:58

Echo was an alien robot. Echo was

5:00

a dolphin. But if you wanted to have

5:02

a robot Echo, it could be Echo 5 or Echo 10, Echo. Did

5:05

we add anything else? It's kind of

5:07

getting. Yeah, so the subplot is interesting.

5:09

It explores the ethical implications of AI

5:11

and the arts and prejudices against robots.

5:14

Yeah, it's definitely taking over the world.

5:16

Look at this. Already getting angry at

5:18

us. Is there another one? Yeah,

5:20

what did Google Gemini say? Okay, Google Gemini

5:23

said, all right, this is it. In a

5:25

remote village nestled in the Himalayas for

5:27

its breathtaking beauty and near silence. It's

5:30

a consequence of a generations old

5:32

conflict with the neighboring Valley. Okay, and they're

5:34

leaving to give us some characters. Here's some

5:37

characters. Pima, a young woman

5:39

with a natural musical talent, yearning to

5:41

break the silence. Tenzin,

5:43

a wise old villager who remembers the

5:45

time before the conflict in a vibrant

5:47

music that fills the Valley. I remember

5:49

the before time. And then

5:51

Lakpa, a stern village elder determined

5:54

to uphold the tradition of silence.

5:57

We must not break the silence.

8:00

you really boring. What have we done? It's

8:02

not a comedy. Really set

8:04

you up. Well, you know, it's, so the

8:06

real story, true story, true story happened in

8:09

East Texas, started about 1997. So

8:12

a woman named Donna Martin, lost

8:15

her mom and kind of went

8:17

into depression. And long story short,

8:19

she came out of that compelled

8:21

to begin adopting kids.

8:23

She felt like God said, go and

8:25

give back. And the kids who have

8:27

no, nobody, I want you to

8:30

begin adopting. So they did, they didn't know

8:32

anything about it. She and

8:35

her husband, Reverend Martin, he's now Bishop Martin,

8:38

began doing this. And then they ended up

8:40

rallying another 22 families in

8:42

their church to begin adopting kids. And

8:44

by the end of it, which is only a few

8:46

years in, they adopted 77 kids

8:49

out of the foster system. And

8:51

they asked for the ones that nobody wanted. So

8:53

they didn't ask for the little

8:55

babies. And it wasn't about that. It wasn't about

8:58

growing families. It was about dealing with a

9:00

real problem. So it's a pretty

9:02

intense story, because a lot of these

9:04

kids came out of pretty

9:06

severe abuse and many

9:08

of them were just large sibling sets that they

9:10

didn't want to break up and cause more trauma.

9:12

So pretty remarkable story,

9:16

just a everyday little corner community

9:18

that you'd find pretty much anywhere in the

9:20

South that did this unbelievable thing. And it

9:22

hit the news shortly

9:24

after they ended up on Good Morning

9:26

America and Oprah. It just, people

9:29

could tell there's something crazy about

9:31

this that was going on. And it had a huge impact

9:36

in that arena. People who were in that space,

9:38

fostering and adopting, we all kind of heard, there's

9:41

somewhere out there, there's this community

9:43

that adopted all of these children.

9:45

And it was a huge inspiration.

9:47

You said we. So that

9:49

means you're an adopted family. You guys

9:51

have adopted kids? Yeah, yeah. So I

9:53

work with my wife, Rebecca and I

9:55

produced and wrote together and I directed

9:57

the movie. And so we adopted two.

12:00

but it's like what

12:02

kind of hooks you is all these people

12:04

did this thing and they weren't a bunch

12:06

of like college professors. I mean, these were

12:08

like average people and that's what's

12:11

incredible about it. I think you're right. Our hearts

12:13

go out to kids who are suffering. When I

12:15

heard these kids' stories, I mean, I was just,

12:18

you know, it just leveled me. I'm like, we

12:20

can't just stand

12:23

by and do

12:25

what we've been doing. It hasn't been

12:27

working. Because there's a, what I should say is there's

12:29

a crisis going on right now that people don't really

12:31

know about. You know, we know in the back of

12:33

our minds there's a foster system and

12:36

we kind of are scared of it. You know,

12:39

that's where bad kids are and brokenness is, and

12:41

it's going to ruin me. And so we sort

12:43

of leave it to others, but

12:46

it's in everybody's life. You know, when

12:48

you drive by a homeless person, 50%

12:51

of those people have spent time in the foster

12:53

system. And when you think about the

12:56

prison population, there's all this talk about, you

12:58

know, the prisons are exploding and, you know,

13:01

70% of those people had spent time in

13:03

the foster system. And

13:06

then Sound of Freedom last year, you know,

13:08

they highlight child trafficking, which

13:10

is what drew us to Angel

13:12

Studios. They're releasing this movie. And

13:14

because we felt like people

13:17

were so moved by that, I don't know

13:19

if you guys saw, but it was like,

13:21

we have got to do something about, this

13:23

is the worst evil there is. And

13:25

so we talked to them about that. And we're

13:28

like, look, this is connected to the foster system. And

13:30

depending on what study you're looking at, 70 to 90% of

13:33

the kids trafficked come from

13:35

this foster system in America. I'm talking about

13:37

the kids in America. So when

13:39

you deal with that, when you know about that, and

13:41

you deal with that issue, I mean, you were hitting

13:44

all of these areas at the same time and cutting

13:46

off kind of like the supply line to these terrible

13:48

things. So that's your hope probably

13:50

to awaken maybe the church

13:52

to do something about this issue. Cause

13:55

it is something that if the church really took it

13:57

on for real, it would

13:59

be... that kid really changed the world. And part of

14:01

it is that it was a church. It was this

14:03

community. So it's a very small community. There's probably a

14:05

few hundred people in the region. It's not even a

14:08

town. It's just a country region. Lot

14:10

of close knit community there. So

14:13

they had that, but they have the church and that's

14:15

where this all like the ground

14:18

zero of it was Bennett Chapel

14:20

Church that goes back generations. And

14:22

so there was all this strength in that. I think

14:25

that's why they were able to do that. I mean,

14:27

there were many times where kids were, when

14:29

families were struggling, they would just

14:31

share the load. And some of the kids would be

14:33

taken over to the Martin's house for

14:35

a little while to give that family a

14:37

break and just wrestling through, making sure that

14:40

it worked. So we feel that way.

14:42

It's like, that's the model.

14:44

And there's nothing like the

14:47

church in terms of its network, in

14:49

terms of what it's supposed

14:51

to be and is that that family nature

14:53

of it, the community nature of it, even

14:55

when you leave a church, you go to

14:57

another one and there's this connectedness to it.

15:00

And it's global, but if you just think

15:02

of America, it's connected in America like nothing

15:05

else. And we all kind

15:07

of want, if you're in church, we all kind of

15:09

want it to work that way. Want it to be

15:11

family. So if we're gonna

15:13

deal with things, it's best to do them

15:16

in that environment and from that place. And

15:18

especially when you're raising children because family is

15:20

so critical to that

15:22

working, and you've got the nuclear family

15:24

and then you've got beyond that. You

15:27

deal with this problem as a church, you

15:29

will end it overnight. We just have to

15:31

step up and really know about it, learn

15:34

about it, figure out where we fit in

15:36

it. How did you get into directing, movie

15:38

making? Yeah, well,

15:41

we have some history. That's true.

15:43

You didn't know this, you didn't know this. So

15:46

Jared and I, I surprised you,

15:48

I think, when I just walked out, I'm like,

15:50

we know how's it going, man? And you're like,

15:52

what? No, we

15:55

did a short film together. You still

15:58

act, and I do a little bit of that. I'm

16:00

acting right now. Yeah, that's true. You're quite

16:02

different out there. You can't trust me at all. So

16:05

anyway, I knew, for me,

16:07

I knew from a early age what I wanted to do.

16:09

I was probably 12 years old when

16:11

I knew I wanted to make movies. And so,

16:15

but I was in Arizona in like

16:17

the desert and a mobile home, you

16:20

know, in the middle of nowhere, just feeling as far

16:22

as you can feel from that

16:24

kind of work. So it was faith,

16:26

you know, I just felt like that's what God wanted me to do

16:28

and set my sights on it. And

16:31

over time, you know, when I got married, Rebecca

16:34

was super supportive of it, but it wasn't her

16:36

thing. She was in psychology

16:38

and getting her master's degree and all this. But

16:42

we started writing short films together, kind of

16:44

out of necessity at first, you know, because

16:46

she, our first one was okay.

16:49

And then the second one I worked on, I'm

16:51

thinking back to the first one and she's giving me all

16:53

these good ideas, even though she wasn't involved. I'm like, dang,

16:56

she's got something here. And

16:58

so we did several more together. And

17:01

then it just took off our

17:03

last short film, took off. It's

17:05

called the Butterfly Circus and went

17:07

viral online. That had Nick Vujicic.

17:09

Vujicic, who is the- No

17:12

Arms and Legs. No Arms and

17:14

Legs. Evangeless motivational speaker. Yeah. Seen

17:17

Miranda, he's awesome. Yeah, so he stars in

17:19

it. So that one's about a guy

17:21

with no arms and legs who flees the sideshow world

17:25

to join up with something like Cirque du Soleil.

17:27

It's a Depression-era circus film, which

17:29

we began working on the feature-length version

17:32

of that after it went viral and

17:34

had amazing things happening and got really

17:37

close and we'll probably do that next. That's probably gonna

17:39

be our next one, but that's

17:41

the one we put to the side for this one.

17:43

And so I've been doing some acting,

17:45

but really, you know, the day

17:48

job to pay the bills, I

17:50

didn't want to get swallowed up by this business. So

17:52

I was doing art directing and

17:55

production design on commercials. Sort

17:58

of to make a living, so. Anything I would have

18:00

seen. Yeah, we did a few Super Bowl commercials the

18:04

way back. You know,

18:06

the guy who, let's see, there's so many of them.

18:09

In fact, they cut the one that was the best.

18:11

It was about the sinking ship. And

18:13

you come in, this storm's happening and

18:16

they walk by a refrigerator

18:18

of Bud Light and that's

18:20

the thing that they have to save because the ship

18:23

is sinking. No one would do that anymore. They would

18:25

just leave it. But now, you know,

18:27

they had to back then. And

18:29

a ship actually sunk, somewhere

18:31

in the Mediterranean or something at

18:34

this time. So they never aired that one. I think they

18:36

pushed it to the basketball. Just because Bud Light sunk. Bud

18:39

Light. Bud Light on a sinking ship,

18:41

interesting. Oh, what are

18:43

your top five favorite movies? Dang. You

18:46

have Tencent. Okay, so Shawshank Redemption

18:48

for sure, top number one

18:50

spot. I mean, I share it sometimes

18:52

that changes, but unbelievable. And you're out

18:55

of time. Okay. At

18:59

least I got that out. Raiders,

19:01

I mean, I love all these

19:03

classics, you know, the Godfather, of

19:06

course. I'm

19:08

gonna forget some of the more unique ones. I

19:10

love, like in comedy, Nacho

19:12

Libre is sort of the top spot there.

19:18

Maybe Dirty Round Scoundrels. Oh yeah. Ooh, that's one

19:20

I haven't heard of in a long time. I

19:22

love that movie. Now there's a name I've not

19:24

heard. Yes, wow, in a long time. Star

19:27

Trek reference. I probably owe you one more bit, you know.

19:29

No, I think it was fun. You get it. So

19:32

you weren't involved in

19:35

the production of Sound of Freedom, but Sound of

19:37

Hope's being almost pitched as like a spiritual successor

19:39

in a way, even though it's a different area,

19:41

but it's part of like another children's area. It's

19:43

part of the sound franchise. Yeah, so. It's gonna

19:45

be a whole sound thing. What's next? How does

19:48

that come about? Like, was that just a purely

19:50

marketing decision? Well, look, it was, so

19:53

spiritually, yes. It's totally connected. And then

19:55

in terms of the cause, it's correlated

19:58

so strongly. I mean, it is. a

20:00

powerful correlation. So I remember

20:02

I was in the theater watching Sound of Freedom going,

20:04

dang, this is amazing and

20:06

sad and we must do something. And

20:11

my wife was talking to someone right before, before

20:13

the movie started and our movie

20:15

came up and foster care and all that. Well, the

20:17

Sound of Freedom ends and everyone's sitting there like, we

20:21

have to do something. And this woman stands up

20:23

and starts talking about how we need to foster

20:25

kids and adopt kids. And it

20:28

was this riveting moment of people needing to

20:30

respond, but not knowing how. And so that

20:32

stuck in our minds. We're like, this issue

20:34

is connected. We know that let's

20:37

see if we can kind of parlay all

20:39

of that awareness that was raised through Sound

20:41

of Freedom, which is phenomenal. And

20:43

for those who really wanna do more directly, let's

20:46

give them a path. So we kind

20:48

of came up with this anthology idea.

20:50

It's not going to feel like Sound

20:53

of Freedom, but it's connected to

20:55

the same issue. It does happen to be

20:57

the same time, but that's really not

20:59

the point. It's just really the... Well, I was thinking you

21:01

could tie them together in like a kind of a multi-verse.

21:03

And then like after the credits, you know, it's like, oh,

21:06

he showed up, he's from Sound of Freedom. Yeah,

21:08

I think we should definitely bring it all together.

21:10

Nick Fury that calls everybody, like I'm putting together

21:12

a team and then you have... We

21:14

did talk about, maybe we should shoot

21:16

some more scenes. Maybe Jim Goodrich there

21:18

somewhere, adopting a child or something. Well,

21:21

best of luck with the movie. That's awesome. And when does it

21:23

come out? So July 4th's the

21:25

official opening. You can see July 3rd, but it's going to

21:27

be all over the nation, July 4th. I

21:30

would think over 2000 screens. So, you

21:33

know, you got it. Go see it. It's an

21:35

independent film. We're up against big boys, but

21:38

it's moving. Especially on July 4th. May

21:40

it absolutely crush Sound of Freedom. Come on.

21:43

Yeah, that's our hope. Which already crushed it.

21:45

In a good way, crush it good, crush

21:47

it well, in a beautiful way. Cause it's

21:49

definitely an amazing film. We can

21:51

keep going. I had one more question if I

21:54

may. We're done, man. All

21:56

right, so here we go. All right. swastika

28:00

on Trump's podium. Yeah,

28:03

they superimposed one with green screen on its

28:05

forehead. I was confused by

28:07

the orange jumpsuit. On

28:10

which guy? Well, it

28:12

showed up more. They maybe adjusted the color when I

28:15

was on Trump, but it was very orange. Very

28:17

orange. Well, you can't even see him when he's in the

28:19

orange jumpsuit. I thought it was really

28:21

sad when they had to change Biden's diaper in the

28:23

middle. Yeah, this one the pit

28:26

crew comes out. The pit crew came out. I

28:28

mean, it was impressive how fast he was. It's

28:30

actually pretty cool. Blink and you'll miss it type.

28:32

Yeah, I think that might actually end up being

28:34

in his favor because of how efficient it was.

28:37

I've never seen that efficient. But do you

28:39

think Trump won the debate? I

28:43

think whoever wins, much

28:45

like alien versus predator, we

28:49

lose. Oh, sad. Well,

28:51

let's think about that for a minute. But

28:54

whoever wins, I don't know, America. We

28:56

deserve this. So all right,

28:58

let's. Because we made alien versus predator. That was

29:00

not a good movie. Well,

29:02

the whole predator franchise, there's

29:04

a new one coming out that's going to be good. So

29:07

the alien franchise, one, two,

29:09

I honestly even liked three.

29:13

Yeah. Everything after that. Two especially.

29:16

I thought two was great. Yeah, the

29:18

first one was the best. The second one was

29:20

pretty good, but it's more of an action movie.

29:23

The third one had some interesting philosophical

29:25

themes when Ripley. Motherhood.

29:29

Yeah. It was

29:31

the motherhood mech. Yeah, that was the. No,

29:34

that was the second one. That was the second one. I'm an idiot.

29:36

The only bad thing about the third one is that they killed Newt.

29:38

They killed Newt right in the beginning. Newt. Which

29:40

ruined the entire point of aliens. I

29:43

thought we saved her. Oh, she died. Yeah. And

29:45

they just mentioned it as an aside. She died.

29:47

That's a sign. Did you guys like Prometheus? She

29:49

died. I wanted to like that so bad. I

29:51

mean. I liked it. I'm going to say I

29:53

liked it. I probably like it less every time

29:56

I watch it. But. It's

29:58

just like stuff that. It's happened. She always says

30:01

it, come on, you're above this. Mr.

30:03

Scott. It was so big though. I like

30:05

big sci-fi that asked big questions, but if you do

30:07

watch it, there is enough stupid stuff that happens. It's

30:09

the stupid stuff, I didn't need to do that. I

30:13

ultimately liked it, but I did not really like

30:15

Alien Covenant, the follow up. Have you seen it

30:17

at all? Have you seen Romulus? Have you guys

30:19

seen Romulus yet? Is it even out? It's

30:21

not out yet, right? It's not out yet. Well,

30:24

nice. Spoilers, Jared is a time traveler.

30:26

Oh. I just got back.

30:29

I got these boots in the future. How is it? Who

30:31

won the election by the way? Oh, I'm not

30:33

supposed to say. Save by die. I don't want you to bet

30:35

on that. Oh, the time cops made you sign an NDA. Time

30:37

cops will come get

30:39

me. Interesting. Van Dam is actually a time

30:41

cop. That's strange enough. The Predator franchise never

30:43

did it as much for me, and AVP,

30:45

I wanted to like AVP.

30:48

I love the idea of just taking two completely

30:50

separate franchises and being like, oh, they're actually the

30:52

same. And it's kind

30:54

of a similar universe, but I'm honestly- I

30:57

would watch Sound of Hope versus Predator. I

31:00

like Sound of Hope. That's a huge compliment.

31:02

What is that? I'm gonna say that when people ask me, what's

31:04

the best compliment? It could become like a home alone thing where

31:07

all the kids are helping to set traps. Yeah.

31:10

Tim Ballard versus Predator. And the Predator

31:12

comes in and a big paint can.

31:15

Okay, it's time to, now that we've covered the

31:17

debate thoroughly, it's time to talk about what's in

31:19

the news this week. Let's do it. What's

31:22

in the news this week? So

31:26

Louisiana has required the 10 commandments

31:29

to be displayed in school classrooms. Required

31:34

it to be displayed. That's

31:37

interesting. So what's your take on that? You

31:40

go first so that I don't say something. I

31:42

love two minds about it. Now I came out

31:44

publicly calling David French a turd muffin because

31:49

he was like, oh, this is terrible. Thou shalt

31:51

not, I think the title of his article was,

31:53

Thou shalt not put the 10 commandments in school.

31:55

But it was more about the smarmy smugness where he

31:58

doesn't like attack the left for. preaching

32:00

religion in schools, but then he attacks.

32:04

Like honestly, I don't know,

32:06

putting up the 10 commandments in a classroom probably

32:08

isn't gonna save the moral fiber of

32:10

our nation in any sense. And I think a lot of

32:13

times, there's a little bit of an idol where we're like,

32:15

ah, the 10 commandments are up in front of this courthouse.

32:17

We did it. And then it's like, well, yeah,

32:20

but we're still losing, like we won. So

32:22

there's a little bit of that. At the same time, it's like

32:25

they're good moral laws for life and it's not a bad thing

32:27

if they're up in a classroom, I think. The

32:30

idea of requiring them to be displayed

32:32

is kind of weird, I think. But

32:34

I mean, at least they're

32:37

not banned, I guess. My

32:39

idea is that the 10 commandments are kind of written

32:41

on our hearts and

32:43

we constantly violate them anyway. So I mean,

32:45

if we have them, it's just going to

32:47

increase the need to sin like Paul says.

32:50

Like I wouldn't have known what coveting was

32:52

unless I knew that coveting was bad. So

32:55

I don't know. I think the kids are just gonna read it and

32:57

go, well, these aren't on

32:59

that list, so. I guess

33:01

I could do that. That's true. Yeah, we

33:04

know that's gonna happen. Well, the Democrat states

33:06

hit back and they approved their own 10

33:08

commandments. So these are the blue state commandments

33:10

that are allowed. The first one is, thou

33:14

shalt have no other gods besides thyself. No.

33:17

I mean, that kind of makes sense. Thou shalt

33:20

not misgender thy neighbor in vain. Okay.

33:23

In vain. What if

33:26

you do it not in vain? Well, that's... Remember

33:28

to wear skimpy clothes and keep them

33:30

holy. With an H. Sorry.

33:35

I have not read these jokes in advance. I

33:38

don't understand the skimpy clothes. Okay. Thou

33:41

shalt honor thy teacher and hate thy

33:43

transphobic parents. Thou

33:46

shalt not kill the sexual vibe the

33:48

teacher hath created in the classroom. That's

33:50

something. You shall know every detail of your teacher's sex life

33:53

for some reason. Hmm. Thou

33:56

shall not attain basic literacy. Thou

33:58

shalt hate and bully the straight white man. for he is the

34:00

worst. Thou shalt not

34:02

bear false witness unless it's against Donald Trump in the

34:04

courtroom. Thou

34:06

shalt not forbid abortion. And finally, thou

34:09

shalt covet thy neighbors everything. Well,

34:12

I mean, I think as long as we

34:15

have that and the 10 commandments side by

34:17

side, it's fine. It might even out. Oh,

34:19

that's, yeah. Teach the controversy. Yeah.

34:22

Let them, let people decide. Yeah. Side

34:24

by side comparison. I like it. Because

34:27

in this case though, whoever wins, some

34:29

of us win. Whoever wins, someone wins.

34:31

Yeah. I like

34:34

that. That's the new tag line. Whoever

34:36

wins, they win. Hey, but

34:38

did you hear that Julian Assange

34:40

of WikiLeaks was released from prison

34:42

on time served because he signed a sweet plea

34:44

deal? Is he

34:47

allowed to take water bottles from people

34:49

like us? That's my

34:51

question. As part of the plea deal? Oh, I

34:53

think so. Is he? Yeah, he got

34:55

a sweet deal. That's an even better deal

34:57

than the lectern guy. Yeah, I

35:00

guess he pled guilty to conspiracy to obtain

35:02

and disclose national defense information. He's like, okay,

35:04

yeah, I actually did that. But.

35:07

Come on. Come on. Come on.

35:11

And so he flew to

35:14

Singapore, I guess. So. All

35:17

right. But did he fly on a Boeing, you think?

35:19

I think they flew him out on a Boeing. Hey, check out our sketch on Boeing.

35:23

Man, that's a great sketch. That was pretty good.

35:25

Honestly, it is one of my favorite sketches. You

35:27

say that about every. No, no, this one. Name

35:29

one sketch you don't like that we didn't. And

35:33

bleep it out whatever it is. So no one feels bad.

35:35

No, there's been a few. I'm not going to say it

35:37

right now. Not the ones you're in. No,

35:40

some of the ones I've been in. So

35:45

before we move on, the Julian

35:47

Assange thing. So he exposed some. Important

35:52

stuff. Right. Like some

35:54

people in government are very just mad that

35:56

he did that. So how do you feel

35:58

about I mean, he did technically. you

36:00

know, take documents and publish them.

36:03

So he technically committed a

36:05

crime, but how do we feel about the

36:07

fact that, you know, is

36:09

there a greater good in what he did? I

36:11

mean, you could say some of it was reckless

36:13

and like that he's actually releasing secrets that could

36:15

compromise security or whatever. Sure. At

36:17

the same time, he exposed some very important stuff. So I don't know,

36:19

mix. It's hard to know if you're-

36:22

He violated three of the 10 commandments. So mixed reviews.

36:24

There's a whistleblower status, right?

36:26

So if people can achieve a whistleblower status,

36:29

you kind of get into this protected class

36:32

unless you make the wrong people angry, I

36:34

guess. I don't know. I don't remember. He

36:36

has nice hair. Assange is a nice last

36:38

name. And it is a nice, it's funny

36:40

to say. It's very fun to say. The

36:42

song, it really rolls off the tongue. Benedict

36:44

Cumberpauch played him in a movie. That's

36:47

right. And he also didn't, what's

36:49

his name played Snowden? Joseph

36:52

Gordon-Levitt. Gordon-Levitt. Is

36:55

he still alive? Snowden. Joseph

36:57

Gordon-Levitt? Gordon-Levitt. Yeah, he's still alive.

37:01

He's living in Moscow. He did that bike movie at first. So

37:04

stuck in a dream. He stuck in

37:06

a dream. He got stuck. When all the Assange stuff was

37:08

happening, when all that was coming out, what was that, like

37:10

15, 14 years ago, 15 years ago? Before

37:12

I was born. We

37:14

were making like short films on DHS back then.

37:17

And I remember really being mad

37:19

that they were going after him. I mean like,

37:21

oh, he's a hero. But I

37:23

was on Reddit a lot at the time. So

37:26

now I'm wondering if I was completely wrong. Yeah,

37:29

pretty much anything that I get from Reddit and go, yeah,

37:31

then I'm like, nah, that might be incorrect. Except for like

37:34

some obscure troubleshooting for like, I

37:37

have an old Windows 7 computer. How do I open

37:39

the toolbar? Well, I get all of my moral advice

37:41

from Teffern Carlson. Oh,

37:47

okay. And he's really angry about

37:49

Assange being going to jail. So

37:51

it makes me feel like there's a libertarian tinge to

37:53

it, which I still kind of identify as a libertarian.

37:55

But at the same time, I'm like, sometimes

37:58

they're a little. But honestly, Though Tucker's

38:00

pretty well informed about this stuff. Not

38:03

that I get everything from Tucker, but

38:05

he is pretty well informed about these things. And

38:08

so when he says that Assange is,

38:10

it shouldn't be in jail, I kind

38:12

of tend to agree. Yeah, I'm

38:15

certainly, I

38:17

kind of feel your mixed reviews aspect. I would like

38:19

to look into it, I don't know. Yeah,

38:21

but I think the hard stance by

38:23

some, even conservatives like Mike Pence being

38:25

like, ah, he should be in jail

38:27

forever. I'm like, well,

38:30

yeah. I'm a little wary

38:32

of the hard stance on the other side. Like he's a great guy.

38:34

Yeah, and it's like, well. I think

38:36

we gotta assume that it's still possible for governments

38:38

to melt down and to need things like this.

38:40

I'm with you, I can't say for sure one

38:43

way or the other, but I'm

38:45

sure it's not either or. But what

38:47

do you do when, this

38:50

isn't necessarily gonna last forever, and

38:52

there are going to be times when something has to

38:54

be done that's gonna make all those people mad. So

38:58

the spirit of it, what's the spirit of it? Yeah.

39:01

I think it's showing that something needs

39:03

to be done and you're not gonna be able to

39:05

follow the rules and actually get that done, right? Yeah,

39:08

so Julian Assange, if you'd like to come on

39:10

the podcast and explain to us, then

39:13

we will like it. It'll make sense. Yeah,

39:16

anyone else named Assange is also welcome.

39:18

And then he's gonna immediately leak, he's

39:20

gonna leak all our private conversations. I'm

39:22

out of your office. Benedict

39:25

Assange. And actually, Benedict

39:27

Cumberpatch, you are also welcome on

39:30

our podcast and in any of our movies. Ah,

39:33

the Book of Jonah. You know, I

39:35

bet he wishes he had one of these when

39:37

he was stuck in that giant fish because

39:40

he was cramped, probably. Yes, that's right, this

39:42

is a tiny Bible. Now you could take

39:44

the word of God literally

39:46

everywhere. It's hard carrying big

39:48

family Bibles around, but

39:50

not the tiny Bible. You can even get a

39:53

little handy magnifying glass that goes with your tiny

39:55

Bible. Now, if only they

39:58

can make some tiny highlighters so I can... really

40:00

study the Word of God in

40:02

a tiny way. You

40:05

can carry it anywhere. You can carry it in your pocket.

40:08

You can carry it inside your hat. You

40:10

can sneak it into an underground Chinese

40:12

prison. Literally,

40:15

the applications are limitless.

40:17

So get your tiny Bible today

40:20

at tinybibles.com/B. And

40:24

who knows? Maybe you will get the

40:27

faith of a mustard seed because you have the

40:30

Bible the size of one. It's tiny. So

40:33

randomly, Snopes published a

40:36

fact check this week. Snopes

40:40

admitted Trump never called neo-Nazis

40:43

very fine people seven

40:45

years after it happened. Oh, because I thought he did.

40:49

And they made such a big deal about it.

40:51

Yeah, that was from Charlotte. I've got a shame.

40:53

They go delete a lot of tweets because I

40:55

was counting on that. It's

40:59

wild that they suddenly publish. It makes me feel like,

41:01

is there a change going on over at Snopes? We

41:03

have to start like... Assange. Maybe

41:05

he's over there. Maybe Assange. Well, and this

41:07

is prior... As he has dirt on him.

41:09

Prior to the debates and also prior to

41:11

the election. So did

41:14

this accidentally get published by some conservative

41:16

in the group or something? Check the

41:18

spellings. No, that's right. Some person is

41:20

sneaking in. It's

41:23

just such a random thing to publish all of a sudden. Hey,

41:25

remember that thing you happened seven years ago? We fact checked. Yeah.

41:27

So now they can say, we fact checked. Yeah.

41:31

Although when it doesn't matter. You give it

41:34

time, make sure that we really... Although when

41:36

the Babylon B published our article, CNN purchases

41:38

industrial-sized washing machine to spin the news, they

41:41

fact checked that immediately. That's

41:43

important. Makes sense.

41:45

I mean, one is more important than the other. Hey,

41:50

did you know that

41:52

Americans supplied ATACMS

41:55

missiles and

41:57

that they are being used to strike Russia?

42:00

So Russia is promising retaliation about

42:02

that? These are missiles fired from

42:04

Ukraine? Yeah, but we supplied the

42:06

missiles. We gave them

42:08

a lot of other stuff too, including

42:11

all this money, right? So maybe we

42:13

will not record this podcast. We will

42:15

be living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Too

42:17

late. Oh, we are recording.

42:19

We're alive. I

42:22

am interested to know how

42:26

Russia's gonna quantify our

42:28

involvement in the Ukraine

42:31

conflict. Well, I don't know. They

42:33

keep promising retaliation and they're not doing it.

42:36

Well, I mean, Putin, mutually

42:38

assured destruction is still a thing, right?

42:40

I mean, Putin's not gonna attack the

42:42

United States directly. That

42:44

would be bad news for everybody. Yeah,

42:47

what were the weapons in Dune where if you

42:49

fired them at a shield, it would create a

42:51

nuclear explosion? Lays guns.

42:53

Okay, so it's like they have lays

42:55

guns and we have shields. Yeah, yeah. It'll

42:58

create a nuclear explosion. Exactly. Maybe

43:01

it depends on how old he gets, you know, because that'd

43:04

be an interesting way to go out. That's

43:06

true. He's just building up to it. Just,

43:10

I have terminal cancer. Taking the world with me.

43:12

Where's the red button? Wait, did you mean David

43:14

Lynch's Dune or the recent one? Yes.

43:17

Oh, they're both lays guns. Yeah, but I guess,

43:20

yeah, Russia said that the United States had supplied

43:22

the weapons and that the US military specialists had

43:24

aimed the weapons and provided data for them. So

43:26

they are promising retaliation. All right,

43:28

well, good, go us. I'll be

43:31

a cyber attack. USA. Yeah.

43:34

USA. All

43:36

right, so this is interesting. Massachusetts just

43:41

launched an awareness campaign targeting

43:44

misrepresentation from crisis pregnancy

43:47

centers. Avoid anti-abortion

43:49

centers and giant banners. Yeah,

43:52

so they're saying, they're

43:55

putting a million dollars into a campaign against

43:58

crisis pregnancy centers, saying that. it's

44:00

misinformation for the young women that go

44:02

in there trying to convince

44:04

them to get abortions. So

44:07

to go to something like a Planned Parenthood

44:09

or something like that. So this is Massachusetts,

44:11

they just passed it. So this is legislation

44:13

though. This isn't just like the abortion center

44:15

is doing it? Yeah, so the public health

44:18

commissioner actually spoke

44:21

outside the Women's Health Services Monday and

44:23

said that they were putting a million dollars

44:25

into a campaign from

44:28

the government to redirect people

44:30

from crisis pregnancy centers into

44:32

pro-abortion centers. And this is

44:34

like kind of what happened. Remember a couple of

44:36

years ago in California where they tried to pass

44:38

that law that required

44:41

pregnancy centers to advertise

44:43

for pro-abortion centers like Planned Parenthood?

44:46

You guys remember, even to the,

44:48

like they had to- Like

44:50

you had to provide information. That's an option. And

44:52

it was even to the font size. We don't have

44:54

to board your baby, but we have to give you

44:57

this brochure saying that you can't abort your baby if

44:59

you want to. In case you didn't know. And

45:01

it had to be a certain font size too.

45:03

Like, so you couldn't print it like- It got struck

45:05

down, right? Like the baby. Yeah, it did. It did

45:07

get struck down. But in Massachusetts, that's not the

45:09

case. They're trying to say that crisis pregnancy centers

45:11

don't provide actual medical care, which

45:13

is actually not true. Of

45:17

the 2,700 pregnancy resource centers across the

45:19

country, there are 10,200 licensed

45:22

medical professionals. So that's the actual

45:24

truth. And so- I wonder

45:26

how that's distributed. Like if there's

45:28

one resource center that has 10,000- And

45:31

then the rest of them don't have any way. Another

45:34

one that I support- The virtual doctors, that's right. One of

45:36

the one that I support has a real doctor, you

45:39

know? I'm just kidding. That's a joke. I

45:41

know, I'm just saying. All right,

45:43

well support your local pregnancy center. Sorry,

45:45

your local anti-abortion center. Now Travis is

45:47

going to play high fructose. So

45:50

this is a new game coming out by

45:52

our friend, Chris Kentaro formerly, it was

45:54

an animator worked on Doom. Doom?

45:58

Doom. David Lynch's. Oh

46:00

Doom, David Lynch is Doom, sorry. And not the

46:02

one with Dwayne Johnson, the actual video game. So

46:04

this is on Kickstarter right now, and you can

46:06

go support him. We'll have links in the show

46:09

notes. Do you think he'll be my friend after

46:12

this? Does he follow you on Twitter? I'll

46:15

make him follow you on Twitter. Yeah, that's

46:17

how I get all my friends. I make

46:19

Kyle tell them to be my friends. The

46:21

free plug for our friends product. Cool, check

46:24

it out. Travis'

46:26

Game Corner. Hey

46:31

Travis, thanks for inviting me over to your

46:34

house. Yeah, you like my room? I do.

46:36

Yeah, so hey, I thought I'd show you this new

46:38

game called High Fruit Toast. Oh fun. It's

46:41

pretty cool. Can I play? So

46:45

you start off by selecting hero. I

46:47

don't have any heroes unlocked yet. I mean there's this cool

46:50

elephant, who I think is a Republican.

46:52

But let's just go to the fox, because it's

46:54

the only option. Political party is that. The

46:57

elephant? The fox. Oh, do

47:00

the blue bitarians have? They have a badger

47:03

or something. Or the hedgehog? Or hedgehog. Oh,

47:06

why is it a hedgehog? Because it like, because

47:09

the hedgehogs don't use roads. Okay,

47:13

well I guess the fox would be the green

47:16

party. Okay, so let's

47:18

play as the green party. Okay, and I'm gonna choose

47:20

a katana. And

47:23

let's see, weapon selection, secondary weapon

47:25

ninja star. Makes sense. Plasma staff.

47:28

Or AK-47. Where did that go?

47:31

Yeah, that's quite the progression. Obviously,

47:34

let's go with that. All right,

47:36

tutorial, slow-mo attack. Let's go. Jump in the

47:38

air and then hold down the dash button.

47:40

Okay. Okay, all right, here we go.

47:42

Ah. All

47:45

right, so here I am. Wait, oh

47:47

wait, it's interesting. There's timer? Am

47:50

I like waiting for it? Oh, what's it? I

47:54

think your fingers aren't on WAS. Oh, that'll.

47:58

I know what you're thinking, working mistake. This

48:00

guy. Okay, so these

48:02

evil strawberries. Aren't

48:04

all strawberries evil? Oh!

48:08

Recipe. Yeah. Oh, you didn't

48:10

die. You didn't die. Oh, complete recipe. Okay,

48:13

because you got four strawberries. Okay, so I level up and get

48:15

good. All right, so now it's my turn. Well,

48:18

no, it's still the aim.

48:21

I haven't died like you pointed out. Whoa,

48:24

slow motion! That was

48:26

cool. That was pretty cool. So this

48:28

is like a wave based game? Or

48:31

is that just the demo maybe? I

48:33

think it's like an auto shooter. Wave. Every

48:37

time I succeed, I think I'm dying. Okay,

48:40

now I'm getting into real life, honestly. I

48:42

can upgrade ninja star, but I don't have ninja star. Why would I

48:44

have to do that? Well, if you

48:46

can re-equip it or something. Oh, well, wings. Speed

48:48

boot. Because you're going to get upgrades and

48:51

be able to equip more weapons. But

48:53

just save your money. Okay, I'll save my money.

48:55

It's a good principle for life. Find barrels to

48:57

find a random collectible. Okay. Typical

49:01

video game fare. Let's see. So

49:04

for the audio listeners, this is a first person

49:06

shooter kind of. And

49:09

it shoots for you. Because these

49:11

are auto shooters like Vampire Survivor and Games

49:13

of Their Ill, but it's done in first

49:16

person. And what he's

49:18

being attacked by right now are evil

49:20

strawberries. Whoa. So

49:23

what I don't do automatically is use

49:25

my sword. I have to place the sword.

49:27

So there's actually a little more like actually

49:29

activating stuff. I

49:31

really like how this game looks. It's

49:34

kind of... The cell shading? Yeah, well, and

49:36

the fact that you're just cutting openings. Yeah.

49:40

High fructose. But

49:42

mostly the cell shading. They

49:44

call it tomb shading. So you need

49:47

another strawberry. You got it. Recipe

49:49

complete. Now you're going for strawberries. Okay.

49:53

So what's the bonus for getting a recipe? You get like

49:55

more coins or something? That's a good question. Because I wasn't

49:57

really paying attention to that. Okay, so you leveled up. Now

49:59

you can do... dash legs or

50:02

the num or you have more dashes available. Dash

50:05

distance, dash amount, jump. Dash.

50:08

Ah, ah, ah. Oh,

50:11

maybe I didn't even click on it. Dash amount, feet.

50:14

You can upgrade your level up. I

50:16

like how they don't call it speed.

50:18

Just level up your feet. Even the

50:20

jumping one, those legs. Feet. Okay,

50:24

now we have 112 coins. I'm

50:27

just gonna do plasma staff. Oh no, you

50:29

didn't upgrade the plasma staff. You bought the

50:31

plasma staff. So that's okay then. Oh, and

50:33

I could sell them? Combine. Can you combine

50:35

the AK-47 and the plasmas? Maybe

50:37

you have to get something that matches. All right. tutorial

50:41

wall. You can run on a wall. Just like

50:43

a real fox. Just like Neo. And

50:46

a real fox. And a real fox. And a

50:48

real Neo. Yeah, I was kinda wondering why Neo

50:50

wasn't called fox. And

50:53

that movie boober has spawned. Okay,

50:55

so now your plasma, oh, that was your plasma staff.

50:57

Okay, so where's the rest of the feet that you

50:59

were looking at? Oh, here, see, three strawberries. Okay, so

51:01

there's that. I can do it if you want. No,

51:03

no, it's fine. You're gonna get me killed. I

51:08

very much like the sort

51:10

of slow motion speed thing. What's

51:13

funny to me is that they taught me how

51:15

to do wall running and there's no walls right

51:17

now. Oh, that was a bit of a tease.

51:19

Yeah. Okay,

51:24

yeah, I can do the trees. I'll

51:26

take that tree. So

51:34

yeah, my AK-47 isn't like, I'm

51:37

not holding it, it's just hovering around me or

51:40

coming out of my head. That's funny.

51:44

This is money, obviously. Yeah,

51:46

it must be mounted on its back. Are

51:52

you a fruit guy? How

51:54

many apples are okay? I'm not a

51:57

big fruit guy. I'm gonna upgrade slashes, increase

51:59

numbers. of slashes. You're not a big fruit

52:01

guy? Do you like vegetables? Some. More

52:05

vegetables than fruits, honestly. Oh. Life

52:08

surge. Oh. Yeah. So

52:11

it's health. I mean, health and speed. That's how speed

52:13

went down. Oh, that was a huge mistake. You fool.

52:16

Oh, no. You fool. You've

52:18

ruined everything. Okay. Okay. Slow-mo

52:21

attack. Isn't that what I've been doing? Jumping.

52:24

It's just another, it's like a tutorial cycle through

52:26

in case you missed it the first time.

52:28

Oh, that's so me. I want to

52:31

run, here's a wall I run on. I want to run on this wall

52:33

first. Whoa. That

52:36

was cool. Man. I

52:38

need to like upgrade

52:40

my sword. Your sword's pretty

52:43

terrible. Only

52:46

I had something other than a controller. Oh

52:48

my gosh, was that a magic cherry? Yeah,

52:51

maybe a cherry. Oh,

52:53

you need a cherry for your recipe. Find

52:56

a cherry. Find a cherry. Recipe

52:58

complete. I just feel like you

53:00

can just get the recipes pretty easily just by killing

53:02

everyone. Yeah. Yeah, you don't have

53:05

to worry that much about it. I assume later

53:07

on in the game it's more like a video.

53:09

It's more like I'm going to die, but maybe

53:11

I can just put it on the top. There's

53:13

a cherry. Oh, there's cherries. Oh, gosh, the cherries.

53:15

I like how the cherries are just giant eyeballs,

53:17

basically. What is with the

53:19

angry eyebrows? It's

53:22

actually an interesting ontological question. What

53:25

is the essence of a cherry? Because

53:27

in this game's mind...

53:30

Oh, I got juice. You got juice, right?

53:32

Like, oh, jeez. In this game's

53:35

mind, a cherry is one unit with two

53:37

cherries on it. Yeah. And it has

53:39

an eye on each. So it's like one soul.

53:42

You know what I mean? Wouldn't it

53:44

be more accurate to put two eyes on a single cherry?

53:46

Well, you're right, because they're technically two separate fruits. Well,

53:49

and then the bananas are like, it's a whole body.

53:53

The strawberry is a whole face. Yeah, they

53:55

have two different cherries, but two eyes. And

53:58

they just watch you. Like, he comes at you. and it

54:00

hurts you, but he's just staring at you. So what'd you

54:02

think of the game? I actually really enjoyed it. Cause

54:06

it's a demo. I don't know fully how

54:08

expansive it gets. So I'm- It could be

54:10

terrible. Well, I wasn't going to go that

54:12

far. I'm just curious if it's always like

54:14

a wave-based sort of roguelike situation.

54:18

Or if there's like a single player cabin.

54:20

Is there 64 player multiplayer? Are

54:23

there unskippable cinematic cut scenes? That

54:25

talk about mechs. And you can't skip the

54:27

dialogue and it's like learning about Fox's dark

54:30

past. I hope so. I mean, heavy

54:33

rain anyone? Heavy

54:35

rain of fructose. Fructose,

54:37

yeah. Heavy rain

54:40

was okay. I didn't plan. I

54:43

started to realize that I didn't enjoy games where

54:46

it's just a movie and I'm

54:48

kind of giving minimal input. I

54:50

think it was, the novelty was really neat at first.

54:52

Cause you're like, ah, this game's like a movie. But

54:54

then you're like, oh, it's not as good as a

54:56

movie though. I could just be watching. I could just

54:59

be watching a movie. That's how I feel about like

55:01

Metal Gear. Yeah. Which is like, I enjoyed

55:03

Metal Gear a little bit. Like the Metal Gear Solid. Sure. But

55:05

after that I tried to play it and I'm like, I don't. So

55:08

to that end, I like how high fructose

55:10

just jumps right in. And you're just cutting

55:12

up fruit. Yeah, it feels like an arcade

55:14

game. Oh.

55:18

Arcade shooter. Hold on, sorry. Oh,

55:20

my mom's calling me. Hey

55:22

mom, why don't you just come in here? You're in the next

55:24

room. Oh, no,

55:28

he doesn't have to go home. Hey, do you

55:30

want to stay for dinner? Sure, if you want

55:32

me. Hey, Kyle wants to know if

55:34

he can stay for dinner. She

55:38

said no. Do

55:44

you want to turn though? Sure. Ha,

55:47

that was a trick. Get out of here. All

55:51

right, it's time for Red Lobster Facts. Ba,

55:54

ba, ba, da, da. According to

55:56

CNN, in 2015 Red Lobster said that

55:58

16% of its customers were Two percentage

56:00

points higher than the black share of

56:02

the US population. Red

56:05

Lobster cultivated black customers. It does not shied away

56:07

from that customer base like some brands have. Clarence

56:09

Otis Jr., the former CEO of Darden Restaurants from

56:11

2014, when the company's still in the chain, told

56:16

CNN, this has been Red Lobster facts. Okay,

56:22

what brands have shied away

56:24

from the black population? Long-gen

56:27

Silver's. I

56:32

think it shied away from everything, isn't it

56:34

done? Yeah, I guess that's true. Like

56:37

what, I would say the

56:39

majority of advertisement has leaned

56:41

in. You

56:44

don't think so? Tell me why. Come on,

56:46

Josh. Pretty clearly, everyone's

56:49

shied away from the black community. Yeah,

56:53

I don't know what this is talking about. Maybe

56:56

I misread it. This has been Red Lobster facts. Now it's

56:58

time for Red Lobster mail. I

57:01

have enjoyed Red Lobster for as long as I can remember. My

57:03

most memorable meal was a special event in 2004. My

57:05

husband and I had been waiting to adopt

57:07

a baby for years and we were finally

57:09

selected by a birth mom. The agency coordinated

57:11

semi-open adoption so we would have contact with

57:13

the birth family off and on throughout the child's

57:16

life. They selected a, you

57:18

guessed it, Red Lobster, an

57:20

hour away from us for our initial visit. Our

57:22

birth mom and her mother arrived and we sat

57:24

with them and our adoption coordinator. I recall the

57:26

birth mom and I both ordered the popcorn shrimp

57:29

and same sides. We all ended up laughing and

57:31

enjoying each other's company and all the anxiety was

57:33

gone. The next day at work, everyone

57:35

celebrated my birthday, but I was still on a high from

57:37

meeting the woman who would bless our lives forever. And

57:40

we ended up adopting another baby of hers two years

57:42

later. Thanks for enjoying a

57:44

special Red Lobster moment with me. And

57:47

this is from Suzanne. This is Tired

57:49

Mama. This is Tired Mama. On our forums. Well,

57:51

I hope she didn't accidentally adopt a lobster. That

57:54

would be embarrassing. No one's had the heart

57:56

to tell her and she's got this. Look,

58:00

it's beautiful. It's actually a lobster. Come back with

58:02

that lobster. You didn't pay for that, lady. All

58:04

right, this has been Red Lobster Male. Man, that's

58:06

my favorite part. Muchas

58:10

gracias, mi amor.

58:16

Love male. This

58:19

is an account called Gandalf the Gay. And

58:22

we had posted an article, attractive

58:24

female saying, wokeness is gay tarted,

58:26

instantly becomes world's most popular conservative

58:28

influencer. And someone,

58:30

looks like a leftist, shared it and said, lol. And

58:33

then another leftist quoted it and said, dang,

58:36

Babylon B actually said something funny. Oh,

58:41

what's that? Oh, I actually thought that was funny. I

58:43

had replied to our article and I said, please stick

58:45

to making fun of the left. Thank you. And

58:48

then this guy, Kyle Gay Pride, that's not

58:51

to be confused with me. Okay. I

58:53

think the funniest part here is Kyle Mann having

58:55

the little Babylon B symbol next to his name,

58:58

meaning he is associated with them. So he's just

59:00

mad at himself apparently. I like that he explained

59:02

that. Yes, thank you. Yeah, that's funny. It's

59:05

like the bizarre world, moral version of

59:07

me. Yeah. Yeah. It's

59:09

really funny. He's constantly following you around, explaining what

59:12

you do. It's

59:14

funny. So this was a

59:16

tweet from Sam Garofalos, if

59:18

I'm pronouncing that right. And he shared

59:20

a Babylon B

59:23

headline, Boeing honors whistleblower with

59:25

special, up close view of rocket launcher.

59:27

And it's got Justin Trudeau attached

59:29

to it. That's Justin Trudeau. No, wait, who

59:32

is that? It's just Justin. It's just a

59:34

little stock photo. Oh, Justin Trudeau. It

59:36

doesn't look like Justin Trudeau and Joel Osteen

59:38

had a baby. Yeah, but he

59:41

said the Babylon B usually sucks, but this one

59:43

is actually pretty funny. Honestly, that's the biggest compliment

59:45

you can get. It's when someone's like, I hate

59:47

your guts, but that was pretty good. You

59:49

know, guys, that was pretty good. You used

59:51

to be good. Adam Ford. Adam Ford.

59:54

Adam Ford. Adam Ford. Hey, Miss Adam

59:57

Ford. Let's see the

59:59

Iron nephew. ETS

1:00:01

syndrome, E.T. syndrome. Babylon B,

1:00:03

Ben and Jerry announces it's

1:00:06

ice cream is now gay. Guy

1:00:09

whose head looks like a canned ham and

1:00:12

I bet it uses pronouns too. But

1:00:16

this is why we need Trump. Follow

1:00:18

if you agree. Lady that drowned

1:00:20

her baby in a bathtub in 1995. The

1:00:23

scariest part is that it's true. Wow,

1:00:26

that escalated quickly. And

1:00:28

also, yeah, he's having a conversation online by

1:00:30

himself is what he's doing. Okay, so can

1:00:32

we actually act this out with? Yeah, you

1:00:34

wanna try? So Kyle, can you read Babylon

1:00:36

B and then Jared, you'll read the guys

1:00:38

who had, looks like a canned ham because

1:00:40

that's, I mean, let's be honest. And

1:00:43

then you can be the robot, I'll be bought, and

1:00:45

then I'll be the sad one. You've

1:00:48

been assigned the part of Lady that Drowned Her Baby in a Bathtub

1:00:50

in 1995. I didn't wanna give anyone else

1:00:52

that, so. That was very good

1:00:54

of you. Are we ready? All

1:00:56

right. Jerry's announces it's ice cream

1:00:58

is now gay. And

1:01:00

I bet it uses pronouns too. A

1:01:03

good one, bro. This

1:01:05

is why we need Trump. Follow if you

1:01:07

agree. The scariest part is

1:01:09

that it's true. Oh

1:01:11

man. Got him. We really got

1:01:13

those nerds. All right,

1:01:15

so we had a joke, Walt Disney

1:01:17

posthumously fired by Walt Disney for being

1:01:19

white male. And

1:01:22

then someone shared it and said, every single CEO

1:01:24

of Disney has been a white male. Yeah,

1:01:27

guys. And then someone

1:01:29

replied, conservatives are bad at satire because they don't

1:01:31

actually have anything to satirize. They're

1:01:34

the ones with all the joke fodder, lol. It's

1:01:40

kinda true. But this is actually making fun of

1:01:42

a real story because James O'Keefe went undercover with

1:01:44

a Disney exec who said that he's like,

1:01:46

if you're a white male, we're not gonna hire you or promote

1:01:48

you, forget about it. So that was what

1:01:50

it was based on. So it is based on something really. It

1:01:53

can't be true because their CEO is white.

1:01:56

Oh, I didn't see this. Checkmate. Aaron Rupar

1:01:58

shared our joke. Oh. Did Donald Trump share

1:02:00

our joke? Oh, he

1:02:02

did. He did. On Truth Social. So

1:02:05

we did Trump preps for debate

1:02:07

against Biden by going to nursing home and

1:02:09

arguing with dementia patients. Donald

1:02:11

Trump shared it. Aaron Rupar, I think he's a

1:02:13

media matters guy maybe, shared it.

1:02:16

Classy stuff. So he's

1:02:18

being sarcastic. Yeah, I don't think he thinks it's

1:02:20

classy. And then an

1:02:22

account called Totally F'n Gay says, know

1:02:24

your enemy. The Babylon B is RT,

1:02:26

oh right wing trash, always was. Also

1:02:28

rarely funny. Stick with the onion, unless

1:02:30

you're a reactionary moron, of course. Like

1:02:32

the people above that we act. But

1:02:35

the RT, the right wing, whatever

1:02:38

it said, I thought it said like, they're a

1:02:40

retweet group. You cut

1:02:42

that in. Yeah, yeah, that's not, I try to figure

1:02:44

out what RT meant as well. Yeah.

1:02:47

But you know what SOH stands for? Sound

1:02:49

of hope. Sound of hope.

1:02:51

So go see Sound of Hope, people,

1:02:54

July 4th. Maybe July 3rd,

1:02:56

but mostly July 4th. And if you don't,

1:02:58

you hate America and kids. Also

1:03:01

1:03:08

1:03:10

help our friend make his new game, High Fruit Dose. She

1:03:13

looks like a cool game. Arena wave shooter

1:03:15

type auto shooter thing. It was a blast.

1:03:18

And you get to kill strawberries. Well,

1:03:21

I mean, people do that every day, they eat it.

1:03:23

You know, as we wrap up here,

1:03:26

this reminds me of a Bible verse. Wait. Do

1:03:33

you have your magazine? This is Ezekiel

1:03:35

13.8. Therefore,

1:03:39

this says the Lord God, because

1:03:41

you have spoken nonsense and

1:03:44

envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed

1:03:46

against you, says the Lord

1:03:48

God. Is he speaking to us or?

1:03:52

Huh. There's something in

1:03:54

there for everyone. Yeah, that's right. So think about how that

1:03:57

might apply to your life. All right, it's time. for

1:04:00
