993 - From the Columbia River to the Sea feat. Andrew Hudson (12/8/25)

Hello, everybody. It's Monday, December 8th. Christmas fast approaches. Hope you've done your shopping. An old St. Nick will be visiting all of us soon enough. On today's episode, Felix and I were pleased to have our good friend, Andrew Hudson, back in the house with us. Andrew, welcome back. Yo, what's up, boys? Nothing much. Everything is going splendidly, as I mentioned. But it's sort of a mix of topics on today's show. But there is one thing I would like to address at the top of the show that I did mention, we mentioned this briefly on our last episode with Matt. But I do think it warrants just a little further investigation from us. And I am speaking, of course, about the unlimited Pinniped genocide that is currently being plotted in the Great Pacific Northwest of this country. Thanks to the efforts of Democratic Congresswoman Marie Glucencamp Perez. Obviously, listeners, I think you know what our feelings are about this before we start. But I did watch... basically just like some C-SPAN footage of Marie Glucent Camp Perez, Testifying, or, you know, questioning the marine biologists in the state of Washington about sea lion infiltration, basically illegal sea lion immigration into the rivers of the Pacific Northwest. And her solution for this is basically giving people a license to kill, a license to kill sea lions. And I'm just going to read here, it says, Washington Representative Marie Glucent-Camp Perez wants to explore more lethal removal options for sea lions. She joined the House Committee on Natural Resources hearing on Wednesday, where she questioned experts about strategies to remove the tens of thousands of sea lions, she said, have invaded the Columbia River. As the name implies, sea lions are a species that belong in the sea, she told the committee, not in our rivers. So once again, we see here, we see like the sort of the Trump-like creep into the Democratic Party as they turn his own rhetoric about the illegal immigrant invasion on our wonderful pinnipeds. Again, like the first time this came up, I had a lot of people going, well, you know, look, I don't like Mary Glucent-Crant-Perez or her. 138-year-old parents were both 89 years old when they conceived her. I don't like her at all. But these sea lions, all these pitipeds, they make it really hard for me to get all my salmon. And it's like, how much salmon are you eating, you nasty bitch? Every meal a day? What's going on over there? And I think we should make this the image for this week's episode. But my favorite thing is that in the State Committee on Natural Resources hearing that she was opining about the need to kill pinnipeds at, she had an aide standing behind her with one of the, you know how like congressmen, when they're like they, you know, it's something being spoken about on the floor of Congress. And they bring up like, you know, like some big, like blown up image of something and they put it on like an easel next to them so they can point to it.

In this subcommittee meeting, she had an aide standing behind her with a giant like sort of poster board of an image comparing the size of a stellar sea lion to that of a Toyota Corolla. And she was like, just for scale reference here, one of these stellar sea lions can weigh almost as much as a Toyota Corolla and be almost as large. They are a threat. And then even just to peacefully remove even one of them cost the taxpayers $38,000. Think how much salmon a Toyota Corolla is. And, you know, Felix, what's a group? You know, I think I've mentioned this on this show before. Who is a group that I hate? that I can't stand whenever I hear about them or their complaints or their problems in the news. It's ironically the thing you're not, according to a certain account. No, I'm referring. Religious ethnicity group here. I'm referring to farmers. I'm referring to farmers. We hate farmer. That's the account I was talking about. I'm like many other accounts. I've never been accused of being or not being a farmer. No, I hate farmers, right? I hate everything about them. I think, if anything, we give them way too much respect as a society. And you know what? A subcategory of farmer is? Fisher's, fishermen. Fishermen are just farmers of the sea. And they don't like any competition. They don't like that there are other animals that are better at eating salmon and catching them. Okay, but what if there's like another side of this where there are certain kinds of farmers that are working with the sea lions, scoop up all of the natural salmon so people got to turn towards factory farming salmon. And then they can sell those salmon. And it's a conspiracy, you know? And, you know, the seals run the banks. Oh, this is this is Goliath season five. where Billy deposes the sea lions. Listen, if you've been following, if you've been following, you know, Nerpas, spotted seals, sea lions, all of these for years. You'll notice that they become more vocal. They sound more more like humans every day. They're getting smarter. They are basically the Chinese of the sea and they're taking over. People are scared of the orcas attacking all the human boats. But the real threat are because they don't need the water. They can live on the land with them. us. No, no. The orcas, they're like the huthies of the sort of cetacean world. And the sea lions, they're the pinnipeds. They're the Chinese because they can come into the country. They can go to our universities. We're giving them H-1 visas to... They're letting them go to fucking med school now. Yeah. What? By the way...

When was the last time that you called tech support about a problem with Windows and you didn't get a Weddle seal or a Nerkel going? My name is John. Sure, John. you know, Andrew, you're one of the... Oh, your name was fucking Nico. Yeah. Like, Andrew, I'm glad you brought him up. You were one of the first people to point this out. Nico was roommates in college with one Taylor Sheridan. Yeah. You know, if we're speaking of people who exploit natural resources, does Taylor Sheridan not remind you of one Wade Blackwood or a Noah Cross? I mean, to be fair, Nico has said that, like, Sheridan's stuff is, you know, It's middling at best, which, you know, I agree with. He's right about that. And this lovely little habitat in Japan. He said, you know, I thought hell or high water was pretty good. I'm not so sure about Yellowstone. What do you think about Yellowstone or oil, man? He just went, ugh. They asked Katsunori about Yellowstone, and he actually, he made a really interesting point. He said the racial politics are really simplified, but that was like a great, great point. You won't hear Ellen Seppinwall say that. I love the idea of like just a seal in New York City wearing a tie with a briefcase defending like Eric Adams.

I like your comment that as the name implies, sea lions are a species that belong in the sea. Well, which part of the name? You know, because, I mean, it sounds like they should be on the African belt instead of the Columbia River. But you know what? Like, sure, a river is not technically the sea, but it flows into the sea. And we're like, you know, we're saying, oh, that you can't cross this invisible boundary, sea lion. You have to stay away from our steelhead trout and salmon. I denounce sea lions are saying from the river to the sea. But, you know, I think, yeah, like the stellar sea lions, they can be, they're enormous. They can get to be, like, speaking of Goliath, they can be huge and they can cause damage to a Toyota Camry or even an adult human being. But I really think that this is an opportunity here for the Pacific Northwest. to become more like those towns in like New Zealand where there's just one local elephant seal that bullies everyone. And they're like, well, that's just Neil. Got to live and be fair. Like in those cases, like, I saw a great video from New Zealand where there was a New Zealand fur seal who went into a pub and just went into the bathroom. And he really turned everyone. Just paying customers only, dude. He was trying to do Coke, all right? What else is he supposed to do it? Well, he was really polite. He offered to buy something first. But, you know, fur seals or their true or earless seal cousins, you know, they can go into a town and be like a friendly nuisance, which I think that's how Ed Kemper described himself at one point. I don't know why I used that face. We used a different one. A friendly nuisance.

I was just interested in what they were studying. Well, they do roam around. Some of them roam around like bears. There's like that one of like, I think it's a walrus or sea line. I think it's warrants. But that one where like this person is just filming like this like canal that they turn. And this is like walrus emerges on this hut. And he goes, ugh. He just dives into the water. Like the sheer power. So you don't want to mess with them. Yeah. But like. But like. But like, you know, I love sea lions, but they are like, they're like kind of assholes. Yeah, they are. They are. I still adore them. And it's like, I give them precedence in this case. Like, they live in the water, you asshole. Like, come on. But, like, they are, like, if a, um, other pinnipeds, uh, go into your town, you know, it's like a cute little story. Sea lions are like, um, that, that's what like, uh, Breitbart thinks Turkish people in Germany conduct themselves. Like, sea lions actually behave on land. Uh, just a little, a little more details from the story here. It says, The sea lion population exploded from less than 75,000 in the 1970s to about 257,000 today. Megan Dugan, a spokesperson for ODFW, said that it's a tough estimate just how many, it's tough to estimate just how many sea lions are in the lower Columbia River since they migrate in and out. But the number are spotted in places like the Bonneville Dam and Willamette Flats have increased sharply since the early 2000s. Wildlife officials tried everything from installing barriers to underwater fireworks and firing buckshot at the animals, but nothing worked. They even tried to relocate the sea lions more than 200 miles away, but they always found their way back. Something called migration. That's like what animals do. But now I think we should try shooting them with a gatling gun from a helicopter. It's the only way to stop them and the only way to protect our salmon. And it's just like, you know, once again, I think pinnipeds, I think they get first dibs on the salmon in the rivers, from the river to the sea. I think the pinnipeds should be given some sort of respect and deference over our wretched farmers and fishermen. Who, by the way, can't even get salmon or grow crops without massive subsidies from Uncle Sucker. So, you know. No sea lion is coming to me with their handout or pitching about tariffs that they voted for. Their competitors need machinery, vehicles, trawler systems to catch salmon. And the sea lions are doing it with their mouths. Who is more naturally suited for this, I wonder. I think what they need to do is they need to kind of deal with the pinopeds. Absolutely. I think we can, I think we can do a deal. But once again, Marie gluey, Marie Blu-Marie Glue Factory Perez, you are my, you are my bozo of the week.

I just imagine, like, for your murderous intent, against our beautiful sea lions. Trump is, like, meeting with them, like, there with Zohran Mamdani in the White House for he meets, like, some sea line in my group is just like, ugh. He made a lot of good points. We actually get in a lot. You guys? He's a big, big, big lion. And he knows some people say, I'm like a lion. It's just slamming its side to side thing. It's just slamming its giant body into the resolute desk. He's very excited about what we got planned. You're just seeing snippets on CNN of like Trump's in their gritting. It's just like bow, bow, bow, bow, bow. Do you think when Mary Glucent-Perez, like when she gets home to her district? She, like, she goes through a ritual where she, like, takes off, like, her business suit and puts on a hoodie with pre-chewed strings. Her husband's like, I've been chewing the strings for you all week. They're ready for you. I got you fries because I know that's all you can eat. She's the first level one girlfriend, representative. She just, yeah, she's just one HB all the time. She is, yeah. Her husband's life has been an escort mission. She is barely conscious. Like that, um, who, Virginia Fox, that one who's just, like, peeing on her floor. She had more, more conscious than level one girlfriend. Mary goes to get Perez. Uh, she, she gets back to, he gets back to home, puts on a hoodie, but the hood is just like a baby seal's head. She puts that over herself and starts chewing on what used to be, yeah, like the sinews of its intestines, which are now, for the purposes of this story, the strings in the baby seal head hoodie that I'm imagining her wearing. But, yeah, cheers to Marie Glucamp Prevarez for this horrible. So they want to bring, like, legal clubbing to this, which is great. It's like how they've been trying to reintroduced gray wolves to Colorado. And all the fucking cattle ranchers, farmers are like, we want to be able to hunt them. It's like, that one wolf is worth more than your fucking life and all your cattle. I just like, I hate farmers so fucking love. Thank you. Thank you. We can finally, you know, slaughter this. The best, the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, guess what asshole? Nuts exist. The only, the only movie to get it. I don't know if people saw, I don't know if people saw, but I'm, I've, I've, I've conquered obesity once again. Like the ninth time in my life. I'm doing the Christian bail, uh, 0.75 of a meal a day thing for the next five years. I'm playing my next obesity streak in 2040. But until then, I don't need any of the fucking bullshit, you assholes growing your stupid farms. You're going to be doing, you will be getting big for your method acting as your role as Randy Fine. in the up in 10 years. Yeah, I'm going to be playing Randy Fine in Terrence Malick's last film in 2040.

But, oh, we were talking about farmers. The only movie to get it right was the wrong guy with Dave Foley, where just a small town bank owner is trying to get ran out of town so the farmers can replace this bank with the farm. All the big money farmers. It's like on the greatest bits, but also it's true. No, but Andrew, like out west, like all those cattle ranchers, all they want to do is just be able to like. If there's a wolf anywhere, they want to kill it. Just based on the off chance that it'll steal one of their cattle from them. One of their thousands of cattle. Yeah, one of their thousands and thousands of cattle. Like, just one of them gets, their property gets transgressed upon by these noble creatures and they have to kill all of them. They're scum. And I'm sick of having my taxes. I mean, out here in Colorado and the West, they just, you know, basically genocide at Buffalo until there was like 27 left and all the existing Buffalo. are from those it's like we know you know who brought the buffalo back to america you know who brought the buffalo back to a non-endangered species that's right the bronx zoo new york city once again real america is everywhere else in this country are for dogs is for dogs and and loonies only new york represents what america truly is i no i won't i not not glooney gluny camp prez and her and her seal murder yeah oh and One more thing. I did not use Ozzympic. I bought, I bought a vial. You fucking could if I wanted to. Well, I could have. You have a little red box on your wall, break glass of two fat. I mean, I was at that point. But I bought it, and then I, like, I read something about how, like, if you, like, if you've had pancreatitis, it can, like, it can be bad and I got scared. And so I just, like, I left that and some of the needles they gave me on my door for Halloween. I mean, I would just talk to a doctor because people that primarily take a Zempec are diabetic who have pretty shit pancreas. So, I mean, it's immaterial now. It's all about the, just get your blood. It's immaterial now. I don't need it anymore. And again, I get, you know. I left it on my door. I looked it on my ghost. Felix will be posting in 2026 on the chapel of Patreon, his cum gutters. Just wait and see they'll be there. It will be for subscribers only in 4K. I think if you go to my most recent story, you could see them kind of poking through the P2 shirt. I give it another like four, like four weeks. Oh, tap you up right now, but I could. That's so dope. Before they return to like their sheet rock like state. But anyway, you know, the people in my building, they made better use out of that ozimic than me. I haven't seen a single fat child. Take one. Like it's Halloween. When was that big shot? No, that's what I did. That's what I did. And in case anyone's thinking of suing me, only 40% of the people that took them were children. Fucking terrified. They're going to give that to the Rizzler, man. Oh, man. They're stealing our chubby boys from us.

Well, the next story I want to get to in our sort of grab bag of topics for today is Andrew Felix. I'm wondering, did you guys get a chance to see any of Palantir CEO Alex Carp's appearance at the New York Times Deal Book Summit over the past week? Most charismatic man on the earth. Oh, yeah. I really, I love this guy. He's one of my favorite guys. He doesn't ignite my fighter flight at all. I mean, with that guy, you just, like, fight. It's just like, I can, you know, I'm not going to say anything because I don't want to get anyone sued, but it's just like he wouldn't be able to take out anything. He is not a predator of anything on earth except, I guess, maybe women he works with, I don't know, but allegedly. When they were like, when he was like doing his character sheet before he was born, they were like, okay, what class are you? And he said, I'm inventing a new one, rapist. Well, speaking of fighting him, my sister, my sister's been obsessed with him. She said that she wishes that she didn't waste all that time on Elon Musk and all these people who are just, you know, they're obviously like losers and annoying. But Alex Carp has like a special anti-charisma and actually anti-athleticism that is unlike anything I've ever seen. And she found this video where he's, he's playing with a sword. And it's not even a katana. You have to be such an asshole to have $18 billion and you don't buy a katana and instead buy a weird Chinese felon. I know. I know. It's like, fuck you, pal. Like, okay, buddy. You don't even get like a cool broadsword even? Like, if you're going to go European. No, it's one of those, like, it looks like a cemetery or something. Yeah, he looks like such an asshole. It's like, it should come with a Halloween costume. What's so cool about him about Alex Carp is like, how do you look so much? like Taika Waititi and somehow more annoying than him. Yeah. Okay. Alex. Alex was riffing on a level that was freaking sublime at the New York Times Deal Book Summit this weekend. He was also moving in a way that was very interesting. As a human being, I just find the way he moves to be quite, just sort of. His handlers at the Palantir were like, this is why we can't give him Red 40. He acts, this is how he gets. He gets the zoomies. He was like Travis the chimp when they gave him X. He was like, let me grab your wrist. He was, my boy was zooming. He looked like a geeked up Muppet up there. But Chris, I just put a link in the chat. Can we just play that clip real quick? And this clip, well, this is Alex Carp and some sort of, I don't know, like some European TV documentary puff piece on him in Palantir. And he's showing the journalist around Palantir's office. All right, let's listen to his comments here. And so I have a lot of, uh, And a deep understanding and I'll get to this and deep appreciation for the German culture. I think one of the craziest things is you have this whole thing online where people like law the Nazis.

Like, I spent a lot of time talking to Nazis, like real Nazis. And, like, understanding what made them tick and what made them, I mean, part of the crazy thing about people, the Nazis nowadays is there's not a single Nazi that would ever have included them in their movement and would have shipped them off to the camps. And quicker maybe than they shipped me off to the camps. But, and it's like, it's, but thing that is crazy, unique about America. Yeah. Okay, so this is people paying attention who want a media career or planning on having conversations with others in the future. This is the perfect amount to laugh at your own jokes. If you went to a restaurant and you saw this chef wasn't eating any of his food. How likely are you to go again? He said more than a hockey player in like a post game interview. You know, we got a lot of good guys out there. We're just scooting out there. Got some good shots. Whenever they have a Dagestani fighter who's like English is his 27th language. Those guys are just infinitely more articulate. They talk better than you know, Alex Warren. I love, I love, like, the gist of this argument, though, where it's like, I actually know Herman Gearing. You know, like, he said I would have made it to like 1943, at least. Yeah, it's when he says, when he says, like, one of the, uh, one of the, uh, crazy things about people who loud the Nazis is, uh, I spent a lot of my time talking to real Nazis. And I was just like, What do you mean by real Nazi? Some, like, ancient guy who's, like, in the Third Reich? Like, what the fuck? Does Palantir have, like, the brains of, like, class A war criminals just, like, frozen in a vat? And you're like, we're building an AI off what, yeah, of what Herman Gehring might think about the people who work for us and whether they should go to the camps or not. He just talked. But also, it's just like, wait, wait, you're a CEO of this huge, like, I don't know, what is ostensibly a tech company, but is really, I don't know, just like a massive. you know, like defense contractor. And like, why is it, like, why, like, why do you spend so much of your day talking to, quote unquote, actual Nazis? Well, there was like, I don't make this much content in a week. That's my job. Like, fucking Christ. Well, how much, how do you have time to, you know, put, put Mangala's soul into Usha JD Vance's body, which I presume you've done. If he was talking to real Nazis, they're only just saying shit like, they used to let us put more. Salt earns it oatmeal. And he's got oxygen in. Yeah. He's talking to a 178-year-old who's like, and you say you know where Santa Claus lives. But I spring that up. You've met this Hagar the horrible? We spent our entire lives trying to meet him.

I bring this up because of, like I said, his, shall we say, very animated and novel moving and speaking style that was sort of given quite a public airing as part of like, you know, the Palantir's sort of front-facing. I don't know, public diplomacy efforts. But this has led to an interesting new initiative at Palantir that I want to talk about. It says, this is from Business Insider. Palantir launches a neurodivergent fellowship after video of its CEO is unable to sit still goes viral. And it says here, Palantir is launching a fellowship for neurodivergent individuals after a video of its CEO, struggling to sit still, went viral. In an ex post on Sunday night, the software company said it's encouraging applications from those who relate to CEO Alex Carp in being unable to sit still or thinking faster than you can speak. The neuroly divergent, like myself, will disproportionately shape America's future, Karp said in a statement posted on X by Palantir. In the job description, Palantir said, the neurodiversion fellowship is a recruitment pathway for exceptional neurodiversion talent. This is not a diversity initiative. The job description states, referencing a hot button tomic. Yeah. I, I, I, you know, my dad had a great, he had a great phrase for when someone was being annoying. And we would go, oh, spare me. Yeah. And that, I had not thought about that in like 15 years. And it just, it echoed through my mind when I read this. That video and like this whole thing that they're doing now, do you remember like, I remember like growing up and being like at the mall with my family and seeing another family and one of their kids was like on a leash. I'm like, man, that's fucked up. But there are kids. There are kids that need. That's what he needs. So it's like this job is just someone as his handler that's like. They, like, spray, like, lemon juice in his eyes when he gets acting up. He, you know, just like how Mary Glus and Ken Perez is, like, the most accomplished. You know, she's, like, the Shirley Crisholm of, uh, level one girlfriends. Alex Carp is sort of the Jackie Robinson of Leach Kids. He can't have Red 40. He can't have sugar. He's not a lot to have soda or candy. And you're like, they're like, that's not real. They're at 40s just bullshit. And then you see the kid actually eats some. You're like, oh, his mom wasn't full of, she was right. This kid can't have this stuff. It really affects him. He's vibrating. Super tonic. That's like 5 a.m. and you're out of sleep. I'm like, just go to fuck to sleep, dude. He's not fun anymore. He's like levitating on his side, staring at you, eyes are the size of dinner plates. It looks like he's on 400 milligrams of MDMA, even though you're both seven. Hey, um, if you have any friends from growing up who literally only ate Kraft Macaroni and cheese, ask them to, ask them to apply for a job at Pellantir because they're, they'll be crafting the future. Do you have a friend who, um, they headbutted a wall 58 times because they changed the voice actor for Gambit on the animated X-en show?

Have you considered putting that guy in charge of everyone's information, your past, and their future, and free crime? Alex Karp was that kid. There was always a kid at, like, the 4th of July barbecue or, you know, the cookout that always wet for some reason. That was him. How the fuck did he get wet? We don't even have water balloons. It's like fucking January at altitude. He's totally indoors. You're soaking. Why is your sun wet? There's steam coming off of him. His shoes are squishing. Here is, I want to read the full statement. This is what was posted to Twitter from, this is a message from Dr. Carp. And now keep in mind that like this whole thing is just like basically a hastily cobbled together reaction to like him as a like front facing figure of this corporation, basically seeming like he was coked to the, or just. on a cocktail of insane uppers, literally bouncing up and down in his chair as he accused everyone in the business press and Silicon Valley of being opposing him. You know, like, he says here, the neurali divergent like myself will disproportionately shape America's future. We see past performative ideologies and perceived beauty. Sorry, someone say they already have, starting with Columbine. We see past performative ideologies and perceive beauty in the world that still exists, which technology and art can expose. The current LLM tech landscape is biased in our favor. Is this why the cultural elite prefer to drug us to tether these rare abilities to the albatross of dysfunctional ideologies? It's like, wait a second. I hate it when elites drug the nerily divergent. They should be drugging themselves before making any public appearance. But we can see through dysfunctional ideologies and perceive beauty as it actually exists and expose it with technology. It says, Palantir will bring your talents to bear on the West's most urgent problems. Like the West's most urgent problems include the variation in texture and sandwiches and popular food items and loud unexpected noises. I love the adoption. The Sonics arms. The adoption of Tumblr speak and therapy speak to like be like, I can be annoying in an asshole. There's nothing you can do about it. Yep. Oh my God. It's everyone like, JD does this so much. He's like, you're othering usher. By the way, shut the fuck up, you little asshole. By the way, speaking of Usher and JD Vance, this is a news blast from Fox News. Quote, this is just the headline here. Ringing endorsement. Vice President JD Vance asserts marriage to wife, Usha, is as strong as it's ever been. That's all I knew here. That's a fucking relief, dude. Thank God.

I told her that we were on the, I talked on the phone for like four hours the day. I kept telling her that she had believed me. But I was like, trust me, JD's solid. Usher, you're the only one for me. You saved me with a fork incident. That's right. I'm not. He'll billiology. I love how him and Erika Kirk look like they're like paternal twins. Yeah. Oh, it makes it kind of hot. Oh, so JD, JD, you and Erica, do you ever do it in the ass? Why don't you show us your ass, JD? Why don't you take it out? Come on. Oh, you're the best, JD. You're the boss. It should be you. Stop saying that. But back to Alex Carp and the neuroly divergent vanguard, which will shape the future. I have to say, this is an ambitious project that I'm excited to see where it goes. However, I do believe that this is at cross purposes. with another major aspect of the Trump administration and MAGA policy, which is that of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I know we enjoy talking about him the last time you were with us, Andrew, but this is just from the New York Times. A federal vaccine committee took a major step toward Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr..'s goal of remaking the childhood vaccine schedule on Friday, voting to end a decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B, a highly infectious virus that can cause severe liver dim. The devices and dysfunction of the committee making the decision, however, raised questions about the liability of the advisory process and left at least one critic very concerned about the future of these Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So basically, you know, HHS is... laying the ground work to get rid of most childhood vaccinations or stagger the schedule. I mean, like, they would say they're working to stagger the schedule, but it's very clear that the people advising Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. on this, the goal is to do away with childhood vaccinations. So if we do away with childhood vaccinations, who will be the neurodiversion warriors to run and found the Palantiers of the future? And speak at NY Times deal book conferences. That's a pretty good question. I mean, I think it's going to go back to who it was before vaccines, which, as you know, I'm... I myself, I am, I consider myself adjacent to a doctor through family relation. Before vaccines, the neurology divergent were kids who were made too warm or too cold in birth. Thereby expanding or contracting their brains in ways that were often advantageous. Einstein is one of such cases. His mom was known for having an abnormally cold vagina. And this made his brain much more efficient. But, you know, I mean, this is a vaccine panel appointed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. votes to roll back newborn hepatitis v. vaccine recommendation upending years of CDC guidance and public health consensus. And look, whether this will make the Palantirers of the future more or less likely, I just think like...

Felix, I was thinking about this in light of that woman you posted the other day that said that dinosaurs were killed off by pharmaceutical companies because their blood cures all diseases. It was dragons. Oh, dragons. She said dinosaurs didn't exist. There were dragons, and dragons blood cured every disease. Sorry, here it says, this is Aaron Siri, a lawyer who for years joined with Mr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in court battles over vaccines, talked at length later in the day about the evolution of the childhood schedule. Mr. Siri has petitioned. government to stop distributions of 13 vaccines, including the polio vaccine. So, yeah, like, it's pretty clear what we're doing there. But I was thinking about that, yeah, in light of the woman who thinks that, does she think that dinosaurs are fake or that what's described as dinosaurs by paleontologists are in fact dragons that were killed off by pharmaceutical companies? Around what era did this take place? Well, I actually, I match with her on Raya. So, you know, after this weekend. I don't know right now, but I will. But I don't know. Like I, we've talked about this before on the show, but it's just like whether it's, I don't know, what AI is doing, just the general decline in literacy among the general population, that we are moving into like a kind of. Like, the peasant era. Well, like, I'm talking about, like, middle-class educated people who have, like, have adopted, like, folklorish beliefs that, like, I don't know, the Romani people of medieval Europe, I would imagine, would be more akin to. But, like, this idea that, like, all expertise are all, like, the sort of the vast sort of, I don't know, compendium of what is considered public knowledge or public health is now completely and totally. discredited or considered completely up for grabs by everyone. And I think that's cool and good. Neurodivergent in the future is going to mean like, you know, you know what an exponent is. And you don't just say, oh, the main number has a friend. You know, you can do arithmetic. Yeah. Oh, the number had a daughter. But I really do like the idea that dragons were killed by pharmaceutical companies because their blood cures all diseases. Well, I mean, is this not like a materialist explanation? I think this is a case of like true until proven fall. Well, we just need to bring back dragons like they did with those fake dire wolves that are actually just gray wolves. I mean, it goes back to like with RFKG and all this stuff goes back to just, it's just eugenics. And it's just, yeah, it's just because the people with money and everything, they're going to be getting their shit vaccinated. They're going to be getting. Of course they are. They're going to have the best of the best. Everyone else you make them stupid and unhealthy and weak.

and let them die off. I saw Stephen McKady Miller talking about this, and she was like, this is what we voted for. And it's like, yep, everyone believes that you and your fucking anemic husband who jammed your triple great-grandparents genetics together and created three of the most allergic killer of all time, that you are not, you are not subjecting them to a needle party when they're all a month old. Everyone believes that. Come on, lady. It reminds me, this was like a couple years ago when someone asked Tucker Carlson if he and his family got the vaccine and he got really indignant and was like, oh, why don't you ask me about the last time I had sex with my wife if we were ever getting so personal? I mean, it's just like, well, I'd also like, you know that. Of course, yeah. Of course. It's also like, talk, Tucker Carlson, you didn't go on TV and go, you will die if you fuck my wife. Not because of what I do, but there's something really wrong with her pussy. We talked to a bunch of kids that fucked her and they all died. It's like the ring. Perfectly healthy athletic kids. This high school varsity team fucked my wife and then died in a plane crash a week later. It's right. It's like, okay, if you had, um, you know, lived your beliefs. That's a pretty fucking easy, easy question to answer, you know? You say, absolutely not. I would never consent to poisoning my body or that of my families. But if you absolutely did get the vaccine because Tucker Carlson, he's a rich, preppy kid. He's not, he's not a jug hooter like the rest of these fucking dopes. You know, you know those parties? You know those parties I go to where me and a bunch of guys, we just take medicine and get vaccines? I've seen Tucker Carlson there. No shots refused. No, no viral, no medicine refused. Tucker Carlson was at my vaccine party wearing the biggest yarmica I've ever seen.

I like how they, there's these people that say all this stuff. And then like, now I just saw this week that people were getting, like Simon Cowell talked about it and Bryce Harper's posted about it. Oh yeah, like the blood recycling. They get the, it's plasma phoresis is what they're likely getting. It's not dialysis, but it's kind of similar, but it's not dialysis. Is it like blood do? What they'll do is a lot of the time is they'll exchange like plasma and they'll replace with albumin, which is like a. a legitimate thing, but it's usually for very sick people. These are people that are just doing it because they're rich. And I think Bryce Harper is a bit of a chud, if I remember right. And I love how these chuds are like, I don't believe in fucking medicine and shit. And then they take, they do get real, real procedures done, but like by cranks that are like, I'll fucking do it if you pay me enough. Andrew, like, this is my point about the like the peasant mindset. And it's just like, obviously like much of, I don't know, expert or elite opinion about a lot of things has been discredited or shown to be compromised in some way. But it's like, I see this in like sort of, I don't know. independent media all the time, be it left wing or right wing, where you take what should be a healthy skepticism of quote unquote, the mainstream press or mainstream journalism, but then you translate that into complete and utter credulity for any source of information that just brands itself as like the outsider news. We're like a rebel journalism. It's like, no, you've just traded one, you know, like a dopey, foolish credulity for another. And it's exactly the thing with like, oh, I'd never. believe anything doctors tell me unless that doctor appears to me on my social media feed and it's like telling me to like I don't know eat cow testicles or something like that I mean the liver king is like for years I was I'm not in steroids it's like oh sorry I'm on steroids like no fucking shit dude look at you but all these guys are into fitness like fuck I thought he was natural I've been eating these raw livers oh man I you know I do admire liver king because at least like After he got caught, he didn't, like, he did briefly try to do a thing where he's like, okay, now I'm really doing the ancestral penance. And then he had a psychotic break. That is what I admire. That he was like, okay, clearly isn't working. Message received. I'm going to go to Austin and threaten to hold down Joe Rogan and blow him. I'm arrested by every agency and Interpol. Like, you know, I respect an entertainer who throws themselves into the act. As he did. He had, like, one eye that was much more dilated than the other. It's like, wow, this is kind of cool. Like, it would be cool if, like, Joe Rogan, like, accepted his threats and was like, all right, come fucking face me in the parking lot, dog. Come fucking fight. Like, the classic bong fight of yesterday you are on YouTube. Don't spit. It's pussy. You're honestly the softest bitch I've ever seen. Who, what public figures, Andrew, do you think are most capable of reenacting the pond fight? I think it's unfortunate. Yeah. I think it's unfortunate that Charlie Kirk, uh, we're the ones who carry the flame, uh, that he was taken from us because I could see him and JD doing the top, the pond fight. They have sort of like a similar build. I think it would be, I think it would be like, uh, Stephen Crowder and Tyler Olivierier. And Tyler is like, no need for the rock.

Tyler is the no need for the rock guy 100%. Well, actually, here's a candidate. And this segues nicely into the next story I want to talk about, which is Milo Yanopoulos is back. And he went on Tim Poole's show. And Tim Poole asked him about Charlie Kirk. Do you think there's a possibility they faked his death? Milo says yes. Milo claims it's possible that Charlie Kirk is still alive and that Erika Kirk is sinister, alleging she's involved in a plot with TPUSA to fake his death. He's such a genius. I love it. I love it. So, Charlie's alive, but he just hasn't been able to, like, get to a phone for, like, two months? Well, I mean, how does that work? Well, he's in on it, too. I don't know. I mean, for someone to fake, I don't know, because he said, what is protection? Because he was sick of Erica. She's sinister. You see all that fucking fake hair she has? Yeah. I mean, if TPSA faked Charlie Kirk's death, all I got to say is hats off. Because what has Matt always promoted on this show? We need to bring back squibs. And man, oh man, that was some good work that they did on that one there. It looked good. Yeah, it looked really good. It looked really good. It looked really good. It looked like a Sam Peck and Paul movie. Speaking of Milo and Charlie Kirk, everything, and this goes back to like dinosaurs aren't real, dragons are. Have you seen Candace Owens' new thing? In addition to claiming that Emmanuel Macron was behind Charlie Kirk's assassination, convenient, you know, the same guy that's been, you know, gang stalking and victimizing her over, you know, trying to cover up the fact that his wife is. Trans. But Candice's new thing is that all space is fake too. Like space exploration, the moon, space, NASA, all of it's not real. She's just throwing it all out there now. She's saying Nick Fuentes is an FBI informant or something now. She turned on him. She just fucking, like, everyone, she wants to smoke from everybody. I mean, her, like, only friend died. I know. That was, like, the only person she actually liked. And the other guy that, back to the other guy who wants all the smoke is Milo. Is Milo's back? And, like, Milo's new thing is coming out, he's coming out of the gate swinging. And his new thing is basically saying the entire conservative movement in Washington, D.C., is run top to bottom. by just sort of like D.L. gay guys who are vicious queens who care only about power and have a hatred of humanity. But he also says, but not me. But not me, though. I'm not gay anymore. He says no one is gay. He says no one is gay. And he does the Whoa, Vicky thing. He says no one's actually gay. They just got touched on when they were a kid. And it's a trauma response. Well, one of the people that he's claiming is part of this network of gay guys. Once again, like as Milo, Washington, D.C. and the conservative movement run by.

sort of DL, down low guys who are vicious, power-hungry nihilists who don't believe in anything. But not me. Once again, I need to clarify this. Not me, Milo Yanopolis. I am not gay and never have been. I'm recovering. I don't even know what his line is now. I'm motivated by more than spite. Yeah, yeah. I'm brimming with a wholesome love for humanity and a sincere desire to do good and help people. He's helping, he's being a patriot, even though he's British. for America by investigating and going into deep cover and the DC GOP by just going and getting cracked by all these guys and say, nope, yep, they're gay. Trust me. They all fucked me. I fucked them. Well, one of the people who's getting caught up in this is an old friend of the show, Benny Johnson. Okay, Milo, you've said some pretty ridiculous things in your life, but this is too far. This is... Even we have a limit, Milo. You know, back, you know, Gatosaurus or back it up, pal. I mean, this, this could be... Look, Felix, you can say it's far-fetched, right? But, like, stranger things have happened. If this story is confirmed, if this story is confirmed, that it indeed is revealed that Benny Johnson is, in fact, gay. There's no way. He was like the most heterogeneous. This could shake the foundations of all American politics and really reality itself. I think that's the end of the West, if that comes out. If I were to, like, you know, there's a lot of things you can criticize for Benny Johnson for, but I think the one thing that. people should stop hating him on is that he loves pussy too much. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. He's, you know, like Christopher Maltesante said to Tony Soprano, everyone knows you've been the biggest fucking coosound. Um, I'm a hog for it. What can I say? Yeah, Benny, you know, this salacious and founded rumor that Milo is peddling, yeah, okay, it would be one thing if, like, say, an ex BuzzFeed employee, whose name was Saeed Jay Jones, and is actually a pretty prominent media figure himself, who just not have a history of making these things up, stated that he made out with Benny at a BuzzFeed Christmas party. It would be one thing if there were multiple claims like this, stories that everyone who is within even like 20,000 miles of conservative media has heard dozens of stories. But that's just not the case. You know, that's just not the world we live in. Well, this is from this from Yahoo News here. It says conservative commentator Benny Johnson appears to be gearing up to sue Milo Yanopoulos after the British provocateur claimed Johnson's family man image is bogus. And then in an open secret, he has slept with boys at political conferences.

Well, speaking of being catty and being catty, Andrew, since you're, I got to ask you about this, my fellow movie mindset, brother. I do want to talk about the proposed Netflix Warner Brothers merger and then the proposed paramount Warner Brothers Hostile Takeover funded by Saudi sovereign wealth fund, or Gulf sovereign wealth funds. But before he get to that, speaking of being a catty bitch, Andrew, I got to ask, What do you make of Quentin Tarantino's latest shooting spree, racking up victims like Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard as he slams them for their... Wait, why does he eat Matthew Lillard? I don't know. What did Matthew Lillard do? I don't know. Be amazing in his one scene in the descendants, you asshole? I know, like, he just says, like, he said, Paul Dano is the weakest actor. He's weaks, man. Yeah. I got a shout out. I got a shout out our friend of the show, Nate Fisher, writer and star of Ephes. His Tarantino posts always kill me. And he did a new one this weekend where it was just like, Tarantino talking about a movie. And it's like, the movie is good luck Chuck. And he's like, good luck Chuck. Good luck Chuck. God, the Chuckster. That's a hell of a picture. Except for Jessica Alba. She's a dish rack. Sorry. One more of May Fisher's Tarantino quotes. This is Tarantino. Look, look, all right. I really, I really love the fly. That is a gross fucking movie, man, okay? But, like, there are other Carnabug movies, like, you know, Scanners, the Brood, Dead, and then in parentheses, suddenly remembering he had jerked chicken for lunch, now talking like Sebastian the Crab. Dead ringers, be on the islands, man.

I just like on one level like I I think it's kind of funny that like so it's like no nobody like who engages in film criticism these days like ever slams anyone anymore but like Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard catching strays this egregiously just seems to be like I don't know because like I don't know I guess I'm like the biggest Paul Dano guy but like he's he's good like just for someone in Quentin's position he's a fucking good actor like it's for someone in Quentin's position to like someone who's like such a celebrated and a well-respected director who everyone loves to just come out and just egregiously shit on an actor like it's just it's so mean like now there is like everyone acting everyone in hollywood acting like he fucking killed paul dano is kind of funny but also like i'm like glad that everyone is kind of being like quit shut the fuck up dude like he's always been a problem he's always been annoying he's always been a fucking dumbass but You know, and I guess I'm fed up with his shit. He just sitting there kicking his feet in, like, Tel Aviv. And it's just like, Quentin, please, for the love of God, shut the fuck up. Any criticism I level at Quentin Tarantino will just seem like cope because of his, let's just say, current associations with a certain country. I'll leave it there. But like, yes, he has always been, to quote, you know, Nate's moniker Bozo mode to the, to a capital degree. But he does happen to be one of the most talented directors of his generation. I can forgive him for being a catty, messy bitch to Matthew Lillard and Paul Dando. What I will not forgive Quentin Tarantino for is placing Black Hawk down as the number one best movie of the 21st century. Fuck yourself. Dude. Oh, my God. You should kill yourself. Especially with like all the current stuff about Somalis. Yes, I know. Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Fucking. He's one of those guys where. False flag. He's so annoying. We're like, I like, listen, I know Will, you're a big QT fan. Myself, I've always thought he was good, but I don't really rewatch his stuff, not like the biggest fan of some of his stuff. whatever that's just my opinion but now with like everything it's just like man I don't even want to like watch anything you make like he's one of those guys like it's just like man I'm just over it like I don't care anymore because he's so annoying well I just think like he's like he was incredible man like that's top 10 of the past century like waiting wait waiting is the type of movie that people in 1920s would have fucking cream themselves and they could see it I posted. I posted. Dean Cook had his screen presence and a command presence unseen since Orson Wells had a 32 inch waistline. People got really mad at me because I said he wasn't in the top 30 best American directors. The people were like, you can't even name 30 American directors. I was like, bitch. Like, you know, yeah, you're bringing a knife to a gun fight. And then I had people going, oh, Demi is not better than QT. I'm like, that. Bullshit, not to me. Demi's the man. But it's like, yeah, it's just, I mean, it's all opinion. It's all subjective. But it's, it is crazy. Like, Matthew Lillard, SLC Punk, hackers, Shacky. Twin Peaks of Return, scream. Yeah. Descendants. Scooby-Doo, the descendants. Yeah. See, Matthew Lillard just seems like one of those guys that's like,

Everyone likes him. Like, I've never heard someone like, you know, he's never going to be heralded as like, oh, he's like the next Pacino or something like that. But like, he's always a welcome presence in movies. The way character Tino talked about like him and like Dano is that they're like weird and nerdy guys. It's like you're the weirdest weird and nerdy. Yeah. You're, he's seen himself. Yeah, no, exactly. That's why he has to be like... You ever see that club of George Cleedy talking about when Tarantino was like, we could be like twins. Like we could be brothers. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. George Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was like, what the fuck are you talking about? I mean, yeah, like, again, this reminds you the Eric Swalwell Cash thing from last week. This is like the entire country now, is like two kids who are both an anime club, but one kid is like, you're like a, you're like a fucking anime club loser. Not like me. The vice chair of anime club. It's like how it reminds me of when I was a kid, not she wasn't always married to him, but he eventually died, but she was married to a millionaire for a while. And my dad worked for a while after the Air Force. He was still my dad who was much for religious, especially at the time. than this guy. He told my dad, if we were in God's army, I'd be a general and you'd be a private. It's like, what the fuck are you talking about? That's awesome. Crazy, rich guy, I think you say, but that's his brain. That's awesome. I mean, I think I've said things like that, but it's been in good fun. And you know what, like, like, leaving aside his work as a, as a director, right? As an actor, he's unbearable. He's unbearable as an actor. He just said a certain word. Pulsive. Yeah, yeah. He's really well. You know, and it's just like, I think his, I think his, his level of being annoying and being bozo mode has, like, only, is, like, almost put him on a level of, like, Polanski with me in terms of, like, how much I have to, like, turn, look away from. Or just ignore to continue to love his movies. I mean, it's like at this point, it's almost like, Vincent Gallo is more likable. 100%. Buffalo 66 is a great movie. Vincent Gallo at least, like, lets people buy his sperm if they're so inclined. Yeah. If you're looking for stocking stuffers. Tarantita would release his sperm like that would hang out on that part. I have to, wait, Felix, I have to correct you. Vincent Gallo will not let just anyone buy his sperm. You have to be white. Okay, he made that very clear in the bitch. I apologize. Yeah, but he's not even white. It seems Gallo. It was a bit salty. That's all I have to say. I was thinking about the Benny Johnson lawsuit.

And again, you know. Well, it's definitely going forward. I'm sure he's definitely going to pull the trigger on that lawsuit and definitely sue Milo for saying, you know, and literally putting it in a libel case about am I gay or not? That's the, that's the thing that's likely to happen. I can't think of anything he's less terrified of than discovery. But I was thinking, you know, like Goliath season eight. And Billy, Billy is Milo's lawyer. But then Cooperman, like now an AI William Hurt is on a bedside. Because Cooperman McBride would obviously be with like a conservative movement. But Cooperman is like doing his usual monologue if he's like a bottom feeder like McBride can't just be left in the, can't just be fucked in the ass and left a bleed out in an alley. Click, click, click. McBride has to be fucked in the ass every hour of every day until it becomes his standard of living and he does not know a time when he was not fucked in the ass. Click, click, click. And then Benny goes, would it help if I pretended to be this McBride guy? Would you like me to prefer like a role play strategy thing? You know what? Speaking of libel cases, I just wanted to say really quick that I always wonder if your fans, Chapa fans, hear Felix's current show he's watching and he makes up. It's like season eight, like, I gotta watch this fucking show now. You're like Mind of JSON with shows. By the way, to all our listeners. To follow Felix for the next couple weeks of this show, start watching the Billy Bob Thornton show, Goliath on Amazon now. Fuck, I got to get on fucking Goliath, though. I really used to, like, pride myself that I watched, like, real movies and shows and read real books. And then just, like, you get through a certain... I just turned into my dad. I mean, you know, I just, I just love every, like, pulpy show where, like, a 72-year-old actor who I love, who fortunately has enough gambling debts where they have to be on an Amazon Prime original. Okay, but Billy Bob uses the scenery, and I'm like, this is awesome. It's so good a fargo. It's the greatest show ever made. I love Billy Bob. Billy Bob is one of my favorite actors ever, and I feel, I feel like a deep empathy for him ever since I saw him when I was a kid, when he went on David Letterman, and Letterman was like, Hey, how about this Oscar-nominated movie, Monsters Ball that you're in, that everyone's talking about? And is part of a huge Academy Awards campaign that the studio is putting together. And Billy Bob is like, can we talk about my incredibly shitty band instead? And it's like, I know exactly how he feel. I know fucking exactly how he feels. I thought so bad for Billy Bob. He sung, Billy Bob sung backup vocals on Warren Zvon's last album. I felt so bad for Billy Bob Thornton seeing Angelina Jolie ovulating, wearing his blood around her neck, like a fucking vampire. I felt so bad for him, that. That is not what he was getting into. Remember when he said we fucked in the car on the way over here? He did not, like, he did not think he was getting into that. Billy Bob Thornton, like, I've, you know, I've been in thousands of locker rooms in my day.

I can tell just by his build. He has a 19-edge cock. I mean, he's always had that confident swagger to him. Yeah. He looks awesome. It's that time of year. Bad Santa, one of the greatest Christmas movies. Oh, I love that Santa. Jesus, are you fucking love that movie. Bad Santa is one of the top 10 American comedies ever made. Easily. I saw that in the, saw that opening week with my sister in theaters. That would, what a fucking great movie. No, like, how could I fall on my head? John Ritter was great than that too. It's also one of those weird. It's like Lauren Graham. What a great cat. It's one of those Cohen brother movies where it doesn't feel like a Cohen brother movie because it isn't really, but also is. But it's like, man, they really can work outside what they like to do and make stuff that's good. I just love the level of human misery and degradation that bad santa, like, it gets to a depth that, like, very few American movies are, like, have the bravery to touch. That's exactly it. It gives me that Jesus is some feeling. It was proto Jody Hill stuff. Like, proto Eastbound, proto, uh, yeah, exactly. You know, just depraved Americanism. Or like, what's that fucking movie Red Rocket? Oh, yeah, the Sean Baker movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's a Sean Bakerish, too. Sorry, just to get on my bad Santa, the last thing I was going about Bad Santa. My favorite part in Bad Santa is, like, after they do the first job in the beginning of the movie, and Billy Bob's, like, he spells out his dream, which is, did you take the money from the heist and open a bar in Florida and, like, you know, just sort of hang out there? And then it cuts to, like, nine months later. And you see him behind this bar in Florida, and he's, like, making drinks and everything looks cool. And you're like, oh, his dream came true. then you find out he's just stealing liquor from the bar when the bartender comes back and he's like, he's like, you, asshole, what the fuck can I tell you about? Get bar in the bar.

Anyway, before I interrupted, you were talking about rivalries, Will. Yeah. Like, great rivalries. I forget what we were going into. Oh, I was talking about libel lawsuits. Oh, my God. Lauren Tom, who was in season two and three and four of Goliath, was also in bad Santa with Billy Bob. I'm sorry. It's okay. Branson loves to make fun of, he doesn't like, he always just references people who watch burn notice. I'm like, I fucking love to burn notice. What the last show shot on film, shot on location, practical effects, you know, Bruce Campbell. What's her face? The Irish chick is, you know, beautiful for her is amazing. The body snatchers. Show Van Glugora. Where's the fucking hate to. Brian Kemp Perez. It was one of the last, like, one of the last, like, classic kind of serial shows that was just on during the summer, and it was a fucking blast. Okay, yes, this is where I was going. I said I wanted to talk about the proposed Warner Brothers Netflix merger. Yes. But now there's, like, a proposed paramount, the Larry Ellison family, very politically connected to Donald Trump, is... backed by Gulf sovereign wealth funds are proposing a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers. Now Warner Brothers is like, you know, Wacko, Yaco, and Dot are caught in this kind of like tug of war between two titanically evil media conglomerate. Do you want Big Z or do you want Larry Ellison? This is from semaphore. This is pointing in Washington as paramount in Washington as paramount goes hostile. And it's talking about like how basically like. It says paramount executives met with Donald Trump in recent weeks to press their case and to argue against a Netflix victory according to a person with knowledge of the meeting. Federal Communications Chair Brendan Carr was among those who attended the meeting. But when Trump asked him about his view on the deal, he demurred saying it would likely be decided by the antitrust division of the Justice Department. I mean, Trump had a public statement today where he said the Netflix Warner Brothers deal would be bad from an antitrust perspective because it'd be very big and it's not so great for consumers. I mean, obviously he's doing this out of a principled stand against media. I'm sure. But there is one detail in speaking of libel lawsuits in the semaphore reporting on this that certainly caught my eye. It says here both sides are scrambling to hire the right allies in Washington. One person familiar with the competitions said both sides had approached former Trump campaign aide, Jason Miller, who is now an advising investor on the paramount side of the deal. Now, when I saw this, look, either side would be lucky to hire a gentleman of his character, of his stature, of his reputation. I just will say, I don't care who gets Warner Brothers at the end of the day, but if Jason Miller's involved, I know the deal will go smoothie. and no poison pills will be slipped into it to potentially kill this baby before the deal is done. So best of luck to Warner Brothers on whoever decides to loot their carcass and what is left of the entertainment business. I mean, at this point, I'm just like, I'm pro Fox, you know, which Disney owns now, right? But like, Tube, that's all I need now. You got Tubey and Canopy, you're good. We don't need Netflix. We don't need HBO.

You just need those. Well, I guess, like, when the original deal was announced over the weekend, there was a lot of, like, there was a lot of sort of a pal, a poll cast over, you know, people who like movies or certainly enjoy the theatrical going to the movie theater, that this really signals, like, the death of movies. And I know this is something that, like, people have been broadcasting or sort of speculating about for quite some time now. But Andrew, I do want to get your perspective on this as a fellow, a movie brother. Like, what do you, like, do you think that, like, they've been dying for years, yeah. Yeah, it's like, this is not new. Yeah. Do you see this as just sort of like the capstone on like the death of cinema in American culture or like movies as an art form? Or is that too pessimistic? And then it'll just like, I think it's, I don't know, it could be. I think it's like definitely one of the nails in the coffin. I don't know if it's the final nail. See, like. I think it'll just change because, like, I don't know, assuming I live to, like, you know, the average life expectancy of a man of, you know, my cohort and all that, like, I still expect people to be making and watching movies when I die. But kind of similar, I feel like, I was thinking something you said a while ago about, like, literacy in America. Like, books will still be around. People will still be able to read. But, like, kind of similar, I think where movies is going is that it's just going to be kind of this, like, niche. kind of, I don't know, have a trail of the upper classes. Or just like, like a certain, like, it'll just be like, it'll be, it'll be like what the opera is now, you know? Exactly. Yeah, it's just like, they've been like abandoned where for years now, like video games were like like the digitization of everything kind of had been killing it for years. But then you also have times like. things happen where like the pandemic happened and then people are like oh it's so nice to go to the movies again it's like motherfucker you weren't going but i'm glad you're going and i do think there are instances like barbenheimer was a big event people were excited to go to the movies i think the avatars show that um worldwide people go to the movies so i don't know if it's like if it's just going to be a problem here and be worse here, or if it's just going to, you know, perpetuate and just remember, because like, there'll be movie, like, the Warcraft movie like so much fucking money in China. For first release movies, right? I think if the Netflix merger goes through, I think that's what's likely to happen, which will kill most movie theaters. And, like, I don't know. I think, like, there will always be people, as long as I'm alive, I'm confident that there will always be people making movies, people who love movies, and that, like, movies will continue to be an art form. I mean, like, there's nothing that guarantees any one particular form of art, like, lasts forever, and indeed, like, most, all of them don't. But like that being said, like the thing that concerns me is that every single person who owns the entertainment business in America now or who is getting in a piece of it despises art of any kind. Like just like not only just doesn't like it, but like doesn't understand it on a very basic level. Like they do not like movies. They don't go to the movies themselves. They don't like watching them. They don't get it. And I think they have like utter contempt for anyone who does. My only thing is like,

I'm hoping that at some point people that are huge names in Poland, a lot of money, people like James Cameron or people of the past like Steven Spielberger are still very much around and active will like, I don't know, rally or maybe start their own companies to. It won't work as big as because they won't have the money for it. But I hope that people start kind of branching out and being like, fuck that. We don't even want to have to deal with these studios or production companies. We're just going to fund our own stuff. They start dumping all their money into that stuff. Scorsacee, like they can only do so much. But I feel like we're going to see more pushes from people like them too because they don't want things to die. And they don't know. We personally know people that try to sell stuff. productions, movies, and they're like, I don't want to fucking sell this to Netflix because I don't want to deal with Netflix. I don't want to release under Netflix. And then they have that speed bump. but I'm hoping that there are like more options that open up but I don't know that's like the most hopeful I could be I mean I don't know like maybe like a system like sort of like what Great Britain has where like they have a national lottery but it goes to fund their British film industry and not like we do here in America it goes to fund like schools you know like I think we should We should be funding schools through taxes and then like our film industry through things like the lottery or like Canada gives a good amount of money to artists. If gambling is just going to be legalists, if sports. betting on sports now is legal everywhere. I think that it should just be like a one cent tax on all online sports bets that are placed in this country that goes into a giant fund to promote and fund and produce and distribute the work of like actual filmmakers. It's insane. It's insane that we legalize gambling without something like that. Without like a fucking one to five percent tax that subsidizes some cultural, educational, some type of youth project. I don't know. The gyms in every zip code thing. Like something that isn't like... Something. Something that isn't of like the utmost dire importance to like the functioning of a society, of a civilization, like the things that you'd want taxes to go for. But like an additional small tax on things that are vices to fund things that are perhaps not like life and death importance, but I would say still very, very integral to like, I don't know, having a culture. Like being a country, being a real country that has anything to be proud of or, you know, that people can enjoy or feel a part of. We used to be a country. Our millionaires and richest people were psychos like Howard Hughes where all they wanted to do is make movies. Big movies, right? Yeah. Fuck actresses. And he did it. Mm-hmm. Say what you want about the Aviator, but he did that.

And then he just sat there with the tissue on his cock watching his favorite movies over and over. I stationed zebra, right? When he's a TV channel and only play it all 24-7. There are no more Ted Turner's. There's no, like the only guy who's even close, I'm just going to go ahead and say it. One Mr. Jeff Bezos, who through his money-wasting practices at Amazon Prime Video. I've given a show like Goliath. Yeah, pal, you may have just about the worst taste in any human being I have ever seen. But between what you've done with Amazon Prime Video and that time when the Saudis tried to blackmail you and you said, here's my adequate cock and my wife's beautiful vulva. That was awesome. I love that. You've earned your way into purgatory, pal. Oh, the rest of you, fuck you. Die. Straight to H.E. double hockey sticks for them. Yeah. That's it for me. I don't have much more today. But, um, oh, Andrew, what's, what's your favorite movie of the year? What, what's the, what's the Andrew Hudson number one best movie of the year? Hmm. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing Marty Supreme. Very excited. But I got to wait. That could be, come it. But I think my favorites were probably Eddington and probably one battle. I know it's, it's basic. But, you know, I mostly just watch old shit. I think I watched a good amount of new stuff this year, but there's still a lot I still have to see. Those are my favorites so far this year. And I would say Eddington tied with Wicked 2. I will, I've not seen Wicked for Good yet. No, I didn't see it either. I will, I will echo you. Eddington was great. One battle after another, though, to me, takes the cake. However, I have seen Marty Supreme. I know. It's a five bagger. It's fucking great. Very worth seeing. But the other one, I'm going to shout out, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's cloud. Excellent. A deeply evil and beloved movie. I loved it. See Cloud if you get a chance. I will see Cloud and I need to see no other choice. Like I said, I'll get to it. I don't get to live in New York City or Los Angeles like you celebrity guys where they just like, yeah, you want to watch this two day on a Tuesday morning? Sure. But, you know, sometime I'll get to it. I feel like a foreign country. not living in New York. Well, that's because everywhere else in the country is a foreign country. As I said before, only New York City is real America. Everyone else is an invader, a pretender. Why don't we make a compromise where we just make all the United States, New York City? Okay, I'm going cool with that. I'm fine with that. The sixth borough. For anyone wondering, my movie of the year was 2018's Drag-a-Cost Concrete, which I saw last week. You just saw that for the first time? Yeah. Such an evil movie, man. That movie is so good. It is so good. It is so evil. Like, oh my God, I loved it. He is a genius. The inspiration that Henry has, what he realizes is, like, what a fucking stupid asshole Richmond is. Like, they were so close to being able to tell themselves, like, okay, I guess it could have technically gone worse. They were so fucking close. Like, God, what a fucking great movie. Oh, one of my favorites.

Yeah. I think he's a, I think that director is like Taylor Sheridan. We hear his like an absolute psychopath in real life. I know what? I don't care because like Taylor Sheridan, Taylor Sheridan like he's not capable. Well, I just, I just mean like they're stuff because I've seen all that guy's movies and I've seen a lot of Taylor shares before. I'm just like, this, this is evil. This stuff is evil. But, you know, you see, you need some evil stuff. I mean, it's like, it's like Edmund Burke, where it's like, you can serve it. It's conservative, but like the best, like the morally best lead. Well, like, he also did, he did a, what was it? Easily. Easily. What is the cell block 99? Yeah, that was great. The ball and cell block 99. Yeah. We're just like white guy at the big cross, bald white guy at the cross of the back of his head, just killing Latinos. It's like. The idea that Vince Vaughn is doing this is hysterical. But I haven't seen that one yet. It's great. I'll, you see that in bone tomahawk? Get the whole S. I've actually seen bone tomahawk. Okay, yeah, the whole experience. I saw that one. That was great. No, but like. There's something about dragged across concrete. Just like, the overwhelming, like, oppressive just feel of, like, degradation, evil and cruelty in that movie is, but, like, but presented in a very cold and methodical way is like, that's what I mean, like, he's, he's conjuring up some dark arts in that movie, but it is fucking, like, the level of control that he has over everything in it is so fucking good. I thought about those first two Henry scenes and how. Just incredibly uncomfortable they are because he's such an unknown quantity at that point. And just how much, he does this a lot, but he really lets shit just like linger and cook in those first two Henry scenes. And before you really know what this guy's deal is. You kind of are dreading what this guy is capable of. That's what there's that release valve with that brother. The overwhelming, oppressive climate of dread in that movie is, like, it's exfixated. But like I said, you need a master's level of control to do that. And he definitely, you know what is an evil movie? That guy's movies, you know, well made. I haven't seen all of them in a while, but a movie that's evil by someone I truly love. Map to the Stars by Crona Burg. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's another perfect example of exactly what I'm talking about. Of just like, oh, skin, like skin. You feel filthy watching. Oh. Like the scene where the, where the fucking kid, the child actor accidentally shoots that dog. Oh. Oh. It's just, oh. Profoundly slimy, mean movie. The movie I watched before Drive to Cause Concrete is. I finally saw the director's cut of the movie Payback, one of my favorite movies. Oh, wow. That came out in 2006. I'd never seen it before. And I would, there are things that are great about the director's cut, though I would say I probably prefer the original. But.

Payback and for anyone who has read the novels with the character Parker, even though they call him Katie Porter in the movie. What I liked about Drag to Cause Concrete is that Ridgeman, he's like a perfect opposite mirror image to Katie Porter. Where Katie Porter is like slick and oddly deliberate despite being kind of like a thug. Ridgman is plotting. He's such a fucking stupid, annoying asshole. pretty much never says the right thing in any given situation. But there was a lot of Payback is one of the most visually distinct movies I've ever seen. And there was a lot of... I thought there were a lot of commonality visually between the two of these movies. Yes, but what do you think of the 2003 John Wu paycheck with Ben Affleck? I like it. Actually, not a bad movie. That's not a bad movie. It's not a bad movie. I kind of like that movie. It's kind of good. I always laugh when Ben Affleck goes, when Ben Affleck explains his job and he's like, I'm the best at putting things together backwards. But it's a, like, it's a good movie. I mean, it has a crazy cast, Ben Affleck, Aaron Eckert, Uma Thurman, Paul Giamatti, Colm Fior, Joe, Joe Morton, Michael C. Hall? What? In 2003? Well, I guess that was like right after six feet under, a very evil show. We may not have to go into that. All right. Well, that does it for a little brief movie mindset. My apologies to.
