SPEAKER_02 1:18

It's her script.

SPEAKER_03 1:19

I love it because I feel like it's bleeding into my life. Now I I think about it a lot.

SPEAKER_02 1:24

I'm seeing a lot of the variations of people being like, computer, like make all these guys super dumb. Like he goes into a college classroom and he's like, you're all now dumb. Now you can you can quit college. Computer, make all these guys dumb. But then the girl that's like firewall, firewall.

SPEAKER_02 2:00

I think it's like Iron Man type beat, like talking to like computer, do this. Like it's just like that sort of thing.

SPEAKER_01 2:08

I have no idea. I just see this the stims come across my desk and I pick them up as they're worthy.

SPEAKER_03 2:14

And you stamp approve every single thing. So what do we do?

SPEAKER_02 2:16

What do we do about the dog? Do we just let the dog do his thing or yeah, he's gonna go inside.

SPEAKER_03 2:20

Oh, okay. He's gonna go inside. He's barking at a dog, he's barking at a car or something. Right.

SPEAKER_02 2:23

I don't know if he was like having fun with it or something.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

He's got a little door.

SPEAKER_02 2:26

Um my screen time, unfortunately, has been up quite a bit. It's up a lot of screen time. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

I think you've been screaming.

SPEAKER_02 2:35

Just TikTok. TikTok and uh Instagram reels.

SPEAKER_03 2:43

I'm still done to do social media fast, and I think we could do it in the month of May if we all commit to it today.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

I don't think so. Oh no.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

Listen.

SPEAKER_02 3:00

Yeah, I'm not gonna be doing that either.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

But we'll I have very limited joy in the world right now, and one of them is Okay guys.

SPEAKER_03 3:05

Geez, you guys are once you freaking iPad babies here.

SPEAKER_02 3:09

I literally can't stop screaming right now.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

I'm not a baby. I'm a grown woman. First of all, I'm not a baby.

SPEAKER_02 3:14

I'm clearly not a baby.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

I've actually never even owned an iPad, so suck it.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

You never owned an iPad?

SPEAKER_01 3:21

No.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

I had an iPad before I had an iPhone. Do you know that? Really? Yeah. Why is that? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 3:30

I had an iPod touch.

SPEAKER_02 3:31

I had for school, right? Thank you for asking me. If I could go back, and no, it wasn't for school. I just got an iPad because I wanted one. If I could go back to like peak technology in my life, like the best combination for me was the iPad. It was like a first generation iPad with the flip phone combo. Oh yeah. Okay, the clamshell phone with the iPad.

SPEAKER_03 3:56

I forgot to tell you when we were going to the butter game on Monday. Yeah, go ahead. We were on the trolley and I got distracted by these really rude teenage like women that came on. It wasn't children, they were teenagers women. Remember the girls, the girls that came on and they were like beaming for the seats, and the seats were just obviously full. Yeah, yeah, sure. Doesn't matter. But before those girls got on, we were I was looking behind me, and the guy was sitting in the seat behind me, I forgot to tell you, he had an iPod, uh like original iPod. Love. Like the one you talk about all the time that your girlfriend stole.

SPEAKER_02 4:25

Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 4:26

Had headphones plugged into them in his ears. He was listening on it. Awesome. Then he had like the original I I don't know what year it was. No, no, no. It was an iPhone, but it was the it was the red phone, like iPhone red. Yeah. But it was that first version of it. It had the little tiny like pinpoint camera on the f on the back, and he's like has it side view. He's like playing on it, and he's got music from an iPod in his ears. And I'm going, What sentry is this guy from? I love it.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

The wired headphones is coming back amongst the youth. Sure. They're all doing it.

SPEAKER_02 4:59

I heard somebody say that if you care about like tech privacy at all, you shouldn't use anything Bluetooth. Yeah, I really. You should just have like wired earphones. I don't know why somebody might tap into your your Bluetooth anything.

SPEAKER_01 5:13

Here's that, okay, and that's kind of my thing.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

I get the stealing of the identity. Bad. Right? Bad.

SPEAKER_03 5:20

I don't want anyone to do that. Take your money, bad.

SPEAKER_01 5:21

I don't want to steal my identity. Um, but like the tapping into my Bluetooth and tapping, you know, I'm like you're just gonna hear me listening to Smartless, right? Yeah, like oh what, you're gonna hear Caleb Heron on Repeat.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

Like you're gonna hear it way too much, Caleb Heron.

SPEAKER_02 5:34

Oh my gosh, like I think it's a principle thing, right? Like once you give your Bluetooth away. Yeah, if you give a mouse a cookie, yeah, it's a give a mouse cookie situation.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

I give away my Bluetooth, the next thing you know, I'm giving away my social security card, the next thing you know, I'm giving away my firstborn daughter. And that is a slippery slope.

SPEAKER_02 5:53

First they came for the Bluetooth, and I said nothing because I had wired headphones.

SPEAKER_03 5:56

I have a controversial controversial thought on all this. I think I think it's gonna become increasingly hard to steal people's identity. I think that all right now I feel like that only happens with old people. I feel like first of all, I have an app on my phone and it like notifies me when I when I open a credit card. I'm like, it it's so easy to to like protect yourself against true financial disaster in terms of identity theft. Now, there are things that can be done, I suppose.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

See, I feel like we're in the stone age of people being able to steal your identity. I feel like it's super easy to steal your identity.

unknown 6:33

Right now.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

Yeah, I that's how I feel like.

SPEAKER_02 6:35

Is that what you're saying? It that it's gonna get harder to steal? That's exactly what you're doing.

SPEAKER_03 6:38

I'm saying it's gonna be a thing with the past. I think I hope. I think like in 50 years, it's gonna be like not a thing. Because everyone has these like apps now. Like I said, I have an app, and literally it's like it pings me when something changes with my credit immediately. It's like, oh, you paid off credit card, oh your your credit, your credit just went up. And then like every other day it does. I use Experian. And it's one of it's one of the major credit credits.

SPEAKER_01 6:58

Rocket money over here, guys.

SPEAKER_03 7:00

But I use I'm not giving them any more air dime.

SPEAKER_02 7:04

Did we talk about um Calci last week? Did we talk about sports betting butt for stuff that's happening? Yeah. No, what? Okay. Let me talk, let me tell you about a little thing called Calchi. Calci, and what's the other one? It's like some kind of market, like open market or something.

SPEAKER_01 7:19

Is that the one where you can follow the It's the one where you can bet on anything.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

Is it gonna rain tomorrow? Who's gonna be elected the president? Who's you know, what songs are they gonna sing on SNL tomorrow night?

SPEAKER_03 7:32

That's how that's so it was it was becoming popular during the election, last presidential election. And that's it how I kind of knew ahead of time that Trump was gonna win because he was so favored on this market, this election market bet line that I was like, there people know something that I don't know. Yeah, like the fact that he's trending as the winner on this betting market tells me I think he's gonna win. Which again, there's part of me that still thought maybe not, but then when he won, I was like, you know what? The market knows. You know what the market knew?

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Um I just watched a great John Oliver episode about this. Like it they call it futures betting because they're not really betting, and that's how they like get around it, like they loophole and say, like, oh, it's not betting, like you're just you know, wagering against the market, like to make sure to hedge your bets. And it's fully corrupt, it's fully like you can tell there's insider trading going on, yeah. And people just be betting on stuff and making a bunch of money, and like there was a line that somebody had set that was like, is Donald Trump gonna say praise Allah on Easter Sunday this year on Twitter? And like somebody made a huge bet the day before, and like it was obviously he made that crazy tweet on Easter Sunday where he was like, open the straight of hormous, you bastards, praise Allah at the end of it, and this guy made like millions of dollars. And so obviously, that's somebody close to Trump saw him drafting a tweet and made a bet and made some money. And they just today sorry, just to close that loop just today they announced um members of Congress can't use it anymore. That was part of the whole the government's back open. I don't know if you guys know this muzzle. Government shutdown's over.

SPEAKER_03 9:16

I didn't even know it was shut down. I'm so uh out of touch. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

Yeah, it's been shut down since we were talking about it like a month ago, a couple months ago on the show. It's the longest assumed it opened. Longest government shutdown of all time now. Again. Again. Yeah, we topped it. We just had it. Awesome. We didn't. Broke that record, y'all. I'm sure people were betting on it on Calci. Um, but they just banned any members of Congress being able to use that app.

SPEAKER_03 9:40

So I've always I mean we talked about this before, I've always thought it was weird that um senators and representatives can like trade stocks trade stocks when they're the ones literally awarding contracts, major government contracts to companies. Of course. I'm like, even if even if it's not them, I'm like, you know that someone in their family is profiting off that. I'm like, that needs to be regulated.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

That's crazy. I think the stock market in general needs to be regulated because the whole thing doesn't really as the more I try to understand it, the more the less it makes sense because I'm like, are you actually like putting money into the economy? Is this just a big slot machine? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 10:25

I don't know. I just think it's kind of odd. I and and so the fact that they've you know stopped that it's uh just on Calci, it sounds like that feels like the right direction. But Calci, I was I was speaking to Calci. There's a there was a bet uh local that people have been betting on Fernando Tati's first home run, and he's in the biggest drought home run drought of his career. They've played like 30 games and he hasn't got a home run. The amount of money it's like 1.1 million dollars that people have lost because people are just betting every game every time going, this is gonna be his first home run, and they keep losing their money.

SPEAKER_02 10:59

That's so crazy. It's wild. And there's no reason that Fernando Tates Jr. couldn't see that and go, okay, I'm gonna not I'm gonna have my brother bet against it. I'm gonna say, Oh, you know, obviously hitting a home run is kind of tough, but you could definitely say, like, oh, I'm gonna bet that he's not gonna get one tonight, make a bunch of money, and then I think the I think the bet line, the larger bet side of that bet is you know, getting the first one, you know.

SPEAKER_03 11:29

Sure. I'm sure you can bet against it, but I feel like a lot of people probably have been right. If it's based off people's money, that side of the bet probably is low, right? But yeah, I see what you're saying.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

They set the line. But you know, he could just not try. Or like if you're there's like clearly there's people bet on like, is there is a streaker gonna jump out on the field and run, you know, if the odds were like one to ten thousand or something, you could make a huge bet and then go to the field and streak, get a fine, but then make a huge bag of money.

SPEAKER_03 12:00

A little uh like a legitimate bet that it every Super Bowl is what color is the Gatorade that they're going to shower the winning coach with. And I've always thought that's gotta be really tricky because like the guy that makes the Gatorade could totally look at that and be like, I'm gonna choose the craziest, rant most random one and make somebody a lot of money, and or maybe try to figure out a way so that they now in the NFL you cannot, they've made it a policy, you can't bet on uh any games.

SPEAKER_02 12:32

Sure, but I could call it if that was me. Totally weird.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

And it's now it's everywhere. Every podcast I listen to has a sports betting like commercial on it. The Super Bowl is basically all sports betting commercials.

SPEAKER_02 12:44

Because they're all working around it with the apps, like the app will be based in Las Vegas, but anyone can use it.

SPEAKER_03 12:50

I told you about the mattress Mac thing.

SPEAKER_02 12:52

The mattress Mac thing where he bets a bunch of money every year on the Astros.

SPEAKER_03 12:56

Yeah. And for the for a time period, uh he he basically says, like, if you come in and you buy furniture in this time period, he has a furniture store. So people come and buy, and he's like, if I if if the Astros win, and he puts a lot of that money that he makes on the on the furniture or whatever, some some of his own money on the Astros, he's like, If I if the Astros win, then you can get refunded for all that furniture bought in that time period. I'm like, that's kind of genius because it gets you to buy. And it's like the Astros win. He last time the Astros won, he made like$10 million. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 13:28

And so he's like, I'll refund your furniture, sure.

SPEAKER_03 13:30

So yeah, refunding the furniture was like nothing. And then if he they don't win, it's no big deal. No big deal. He puts a million dollars on a great furniture every year.

SPEAKER_01 13:40

Yeah, that is crazy. Sorry. Crazy.

SPEAKER_03 13:45

Patrick Mac is actually a pretty good dude. I be I guess he does a lot of work for his community in in Texas.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

Oh Patrick Smack.

SPEAKER_03 13:51

I guess he likes Mac. When the big when there's every once in a while, there's like big um I don't know what do they have in Texas. Do you think they're gonna talk about him when he's gone? Big house.

SPEAKER_01 13:58

Yeah, they have tornadoes and they have barbecue.

SPEAKER_03 14:02

When they when that happens, they um he opens his whole warehouse for people to come and stay and buy some food. And like when natural disasters happen in Texas, he like is really like why wouldn't you?

SPEAKER_01 14:11

Like that's my question.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

That well, that's because you're a heartless POS. Right.

SPEAKER_03 14:14

But I think there's a lot of business owners that wouldn't do that. We wouldn't spend their money opening their opening their their big stores for people. And it's crazy too. He's like, it's per he's like, why wouldn't I? It's it's a bunch of furniture. People can crash wherever they want. It's like perfect. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Mattress back.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Oh Mac.

SPEAKER_03 14:30

I think he might be dead, actually. I he was what? How are you talking about? Don't make me love him. Don't make me love him.

SPEAKER_02 14:38

He was such a great guy. He's dead. Dangle the carrot. Okay, he was He might be dead, actually.

SPEAKER_03 14:43

No, he's 75, he's still alive. Okay. He was old. He we I knew he was old, that's all.

SPEAKER_02 14:47

This is this is just cruel. I'm just gonna say it. Make me fall in love with him, lose him, and I'm gonna go. Remember that?

SPEAKER_03 14:53

Remember a couple of Thanksgivings ago when I showed you that woman who came into her family family Thanksgiving and she was singing, Hello Ace B. Remember that lady was a really nice sweet lady. Yeah, she died. And then I told you like the next second, I was like, Oh yeah, and she died last year of you were like you always do this to me, John.

SPEAKER_02 15:10

You always do magic alive. Okay, thank God.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Yeah, my parent, my family, it's like a long-standing joke that that always happens. Where we were just talking about it, and my dad was saying something about um boy George, and my mom's like of culture club. Yeah, my mom's like, Boy George is dead, and he's like, What? No, he's not? Like, no, he's not, he's not dead. And my brother-in-law and my sister were like, Yeah, no, he's dead, he's dead. They're talking about it, and after a while, they're like, Oh, we're thinking of George Michael. It was like this battle. My dad always is like, I'm gonna Google it. I'm Googling. I've proven to you guys that Boy George is alive, and they do it, and then the moment he reads it, he's like, Still alive. They go, We're thinking George Michael. And it happened intentionally, or like they No, like they truly, they just like were like, Oh, and it was weird because they all were on the same page. They're like, Yeah, no, Boy George is dead, dad. Like, you're dumb. Um, and it it's consistently through our whole lives, it has happened where my mom has consistently thought some like some celebrity, someone is dead when they're not, or vice versa. And it's just the funniest like ongoing bit, and the fact that it happens in such earnest ways is the best part about it. She's never like trying to be funny, it just genuinely happens.

SPEAKER_03 16:25

And I was trending, remember they there was a trend for a hot second where you tell your parents that their favorite celebrity died. Yeah. There was one where um they were going to mess with their parent and they did it, and then it was like that was the day that like they didn't realize he was that that the pr the celebrity actually died. So when the mom googled it, he's like, I can't believe they're like, Wait, what? What like they didn't know.

SPEAKER_01 16:45

He was messy with you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

They did a lot with uh before Jimmy Buffett died. There's a lot of people that got got with Jimmy Buffett, but R I P that guy had the best life.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

Yeah, he did Margaritaville forever, right?

SPEAKER_02 16:56

He was living in Margaritaville before he got famous. Do you know that guy was just like on his boat? He had a little plane, he'd just go down to the freaking the c the keys, right? Just live his best, strum his six string. Yeah. People don't do that anymore.

SPEAKER_03 17:11

Do you think I mean he like really like sold a lot of products too, right? Because he mark Margaritaville was like a big expansion. He sold a vibe, John. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 17:20

Jimmy Buffett sold a lot of products, though. The mindset of Margaritaville to people. Yes, they were buying the colours. Wasn't there like chairs and orange? You're thinking of Tommy Bahama, of course.

SPEAKER_01 17:31

No, they had it, they had a collab, Margaritaville. Margaritaville?

SPEAKER_02 17:34

The one I'm definitely thinking of is the resorts. Yeah, where they opened a whole resort, Margarita Village. Margaritaville. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 17:40

I'm thinking about the one just the word Margaritaville over and over again. Oh, yes, and Margaritaville.

SPEAKER_02 17:44

They had a Margaritaville hat, they had a Margaritaville cup.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

Margarita. Um, and it was Margaritaville's.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

The restaurant in Las Vegas, where we spent some time during my bachelor party. Yes, we did. Um what? Annie, I wish you were there.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

That was early days of our friendship. We weren't friends, and I really do think about that. I'm like, man, I think.

SPEAKER_02 18:05

Let's go on a Vegas trip. How about that? Were you on the other were you on that other Vegas trip?

SPEAKER_01 18:11

I what other Vegas trip? No, the the The Death of Bobby's 30s? Nope. Wasn't invited to that one.

SPEAKER_02 18:17

Dang. Really? RIP. Yeah. I think I I think I invited myself into that one.

SPEAKER_03 18:22

So that would have been around the same time because Bobby's 34 this year, which means we just celebrated our fourth anniversaries. Like yeah, it was early friendship days. That was around the same time.

SPEAKER_01 18:33

Um yeah, I've I've only dabbled in Vegas a little bit. You don't want to talk about it. Oh, I was trying to think, I was like, I don't like. I think with the right people, the last time I went, it was fun with the right friends. I'm not like a club person, so you really kind of gotta catch the vibes.

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Yeah, I get that.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

You gotta ride hide on the vibes.

SPEAKER_02 18:54

I can be persuaded to be a club person. I think your bachelor party, you were a club person, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:59

I think honestly, yeah, I it it's it really depends on the club. If it's a smaller club, I can get down with it. We went to a couple clubs in Vegas where it was like waiting for John Summit, who's like this big DJ, and it's like a thousand people packed into this place. It's like two in the morning. I was like, yeah, no, this is horrible. This is it for me.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

We went to this one club that was the darkest, dankest room I think I've ever been in. Yeah. It was only laser lights. You were there, John. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't check. Hey, also, you were there.

SPEAKER_03 19:29

Really, tell me about that. That was a club that Michael and I decided at like 3 a.m. We're walking back. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:35

That's the one right next to the flamingo, right? Across the hotel.

SPEAKER_03 19:40

I don't know where it is.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

I think I well, they probably all have laser lights. Dude, I fashioned.

SPEAKER_03 19:44

I remember I got four three shots. And it was like a hundred dollars. And I think I got like, yeah, you a drink and me a drink. It was$150. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

That's why it doesn't even work as a like statistically, you go to a bar, club, whatever, as a female, you can get at least a free drink. At least.

SPEAKER_02 20:04

One drink, you think?

SPEAKER_01 20:06

At least you talk to a guy and it's like, oh my gosh, hi, what are you guys doing here? Oh, I'm here with my friends. Oh, oh my gosh, you guys, what are you guys drinking? You know, buy me a drink? Pineapple, tequilas. Oh my gosh, okay, great, thanks. Oh, okay. In Vegas doesn't work. Doesn't work? Doesn't work because they're like, that's a hundred months later. No freaking. I've been gambling all day. I have no money.

SPEAKER_02 20:26

I think you'd be surprised, Annie.

SPEAKER_01 20:28

No, I was surprised at the fact that my friends and I could not get any drinks.

SPEAKER_03 20:32

No.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

No. And that might say more about us than them, but still.

SPEAKER_03 20:37

You know what's the thrill of my life at I won't and I won't share too much about your bachelor party, but was watching uh Ryan gamble. The highs and lows of that experience.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

I've had the honor of watching Ryan gamble in Vegas too.

SPEAKER_03 20:48

At one point he was up$800. I'm like, great. And then I literally blinked and he's like, okay, it's all gone. I'll just go to bed. I'm like, Huh?$800, where did I go? And the same thing with Michael Penning. Michael Penning was pretty was pretty risky that night too. It was crazy. When I tell you that.

SPEAKER_02 21:06

You know what? I I don't know if I can go into numbers. I can't go into numbers either. Oh, actually, yeah. No. I'm not gonna take just because your wife's not here tonight. Yeah, no, I can't. Don't get it. She'll watch this. I'm just saying, you know, could have paid for the wedding and then lost it. I'm just kidding. Not trying. That would have been ridiculous. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 21:25

I'm not I feel like there's some get rich quick schemes that are that I'm seeing left and right. Transition. Thank you. And obviously, I've se a lot of gambling stuff as we talked about the sports betting, all the stuff. I stumbled today on an ad for Smartless Mobile.

SPEAKER_02 21:45

Can you uh tell me a little bit about that?

SPEAKER_01 21:47

The guys who the three actors who they're first of all, actors who decided to make a podcast together have now launched a mobile phone company, like a wireless company. Subscription.

SPEAKER_02 22:01

Smartless Mobile is a direct to consumer wireless service launched by the Smartless Podcast host Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, offering low-cost, quote, data sane plans starting around ten to fifteen dollars a month utilizing the T Mobile 5G network.

SPEAKER_01 22:18

So T Mobile is branching.

SPEAKER_02 22:21

So no, it's one of those things where they pay a little bit to use their towers. And so you're basically getting T-Mobile for less, maybe for less, ten dollars, fifteen dollars a month.

SPEAKER_01 22:32

Um Mint Mobile, which was a big one that Ryan Reynolds had, he's sold since. But I feel like he was kind of the first one. That's I stumbled upon that today, the smartless mobile, and I was like, yeah, no, what are we doing, guys? Are we strapped for cash? Well, I know Will Arnett just broke up with his baby mama, so maybe he is strapped for cash. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:52

Who is his baby mama?

SPEAKER_01 22:54

Um, some model.

SPEAKER_02 22:56

Oh yeah, it was an actress. He was briefly married to uh Amy Polar, and they have two kids.

SPEAKER_01 23:03

Two sons.

SPEAKER_03 23:04

I don't know how you I don't know how you bungle that personally.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Amy Polar?

SPEAKER_03 23:09

Yeah, I feel like it's like she's like self to the earth.

SPEAKER_02 23:13

Yeah, I think I think they had a toxic relationship.

SPEAKER_01 23:16

I fear he's kind of probably a narcissist.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

Well, it was when she was on SNL, I think. Or pre-SNL?

SPEAKER_01 23:23

It was um it was like during um not yeah, it was like at the same time. It was um she was pregnant and arching labeled yeah, she was in um wreck. No, it was way before. No, no, no, it was parks and wreck because she was for real pregnant, and then they were like, okay, we're gonna make Leslie Note pregnant, and she said, no.

SPEAKER_02 23:48

Can't do that.

SPEAKER_01 23:48

She said, I'm not pretending to be pregnant again. She's like, I just was pregnant, no way.

SPEAKER_03 23:54

Yeah. Arnette says it was a brutal, and then um they co-parent really well.

SPEAKER_02 24:01

Wow, they got divorced in 2016.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:03

Wow, okay.

SPEAKER_03 24:03

Well, said that in her memoir that it was it's too sad and too personal to discuss in detail. She wasn't willing to discuss it.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

Good for her. Yeah, good thing she doesn't have a podcast. She said she has been on their podcast. Uh it was a great episode. I think it was a great episode. It's all good.

SPEAKER_01 24:22

Sean Hay said one of the best compliments I think any parent of like like, you know, parent who's divorced from their partner probably could ever get, which was he told them that he's never seen co-parents that genuinely care as friends and like and are friends with each other the way that they co-parent and like support each other and their kids and lift up themselves still as like a family unit. A fuller goes thanks. She's like, Yeah, thanks. So well done.

SPEAKER_03 24:58

I want to say we aren't podcasting nearly as hard as tomorrow this is. They're part of podcasting hard. I think they're number one, aren't they? Their show signed a regular deal with Amazon in 2021, which subsequently landed a three-year contract with SiriusXM in twenty twenty-four, purportedly worth a hundred million dollars.

SPEAKER_02 25:20

Is that all in ad revenue? Like, how are you how are you pricing that a hundred million dollar podcast?

SPEAKER_03 25:27

But it's like a multi-year deal, but still it's like no.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

Are you getting are people no people aren't paying to be on it? No.

SPEAKER_03 25:34

No, they're paying Amazon to be on it. They do a bunch of ad reads. Which is which Amazon's telling them, hey, here are your ad reads.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

They do do a bunch of ad reads.

SPEAKER_02 25:41

I have a sneeze that's stuck in my nose. That's my bad. I keep sniffing in the microphone. I know. Don't do it. I know. Well, don't sneeze. It's allergy season. I can't I can't help it. Crazy.$100 billion right there. Oh, yeah. Of course.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

That's crazy. That's crazy. I know. You're telling me I need sneeze. Um, yeah, so I just was like, man, are we they don't so they don't need smartless mobile. They're a billion dollars.

SPEAKER_03 26:06

I think I think there's here and I have my thoughts about this too with a lot of these celebrities. I think there's some strategists on their team that's like, hey, if we do this thing, like we can you like there's there's constantly more and more. I think when you have money, that's just the beginning. Like when you make when you make your first couple million, I think you what happens is inevitably in Hollywood, you get some Joe Schmo or some agency to go, hey, like we're gonna manage you now, and here's what we think you should do. This, this, this, and they're going, like, what do you mean to start launch a launch a direct consumer phone network? And they're like, Yeah, but see, you can make like 50 million dollars if you do this, you know.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

I'm saying they probably think all the pro athletes have some crappy alcohol, right? Sure, yeah, they like all have like gross wineries or tequilas or something. Same thing.

SPEAKER_02 26:52

Everyone's is pretty good though. He's got aviation gin, but he's also got mint mobile. Yeah, doesn't he have other stuff too? I think he's got a production company now.

SPEAKER_03 27:00

I think that's the probably the number one advice these celebrities get is to diversify. Sure.

SPEAKER_02 27:06

Yeah, yeah. But somebody like Ryan Reynolds is getting work though. You would think it'd be like washed up, you know. I don't know who.

SPEAKER_03 27:13

Is Ryan Reynolds the one that is doing the he's doing the Rexham with him?

SPEAKER_02 27:20

Yeah, Rexum. Yeah, he's got a yeah, he's got a uh football team.

SPEAKER_01 27:24

Yeah. I with Rob Mack.

SPEAKER_03 27:28

Rob legally changed.

SPEAKER_02 27:30

Rob Mack, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 27:32

He he dropped McLeheny?

SPEAKER_02 27:33

Yeah, it was a whole thing. He dropped it. Why people won't would say like McClaney or so he supposedly legally changed his name to Rob Mack. So you could just say Rob Mack. I don't think McLeheny's hard to say.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

I don't think it's so either. I um Hasan Minaj has a whole thing where he says like that people asked him if they were like if or so he was on was it Ellen or something, and they like butcher his name and he corrects them until they says it right, and he's like, and I probably butchered it right now, but um Hasan is right, I think Minaj. He goes, if you can learn how to say Timothy Chalamet, come on, you can learn my name. And I'm like, a like McLeanny is not hard.

SPEAKER_02 28:13

If you can say Charlie's Therone.

SPEAKER_01 28:15

Yeah, like come on.

SPEAKER_02 28:16

Can you say that right?

SPEAKER_01 28:17

Come on.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

Kieran Kulkin. Come on.

SPEAKER_02 28:20

Come on, Kieran Kulkin. Please.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Kiran Kulkin.

SPEAKER_02 28:25

Um, okay, so are we gonna talk about that uh ballroom situation? You guys tracking the hole. The shooter. What's that? The guiding the salad.

SPEAKER_01 28:33

Oh, you're oh, you're on the different side of this shooting than I am. Yeah, we're all on different sides. Where there's a shooter at the um Whoa. Sorry. You heard that, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:44

No, I mean like I I I I had a totally different perspective on this whole thing. We're not on different sides. We're all one team.

SPEAKER_02 28:54

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_01 28:54

But just tucked away, okay? I need you.

SPEAKER_02 28:58

I need you to just keep it inside. Okay. Don't um conceal, don't feel.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

Conceal, don't feel. Anyways.

SPEAKER_02 29:07

Right. Which the whole situation's pretty sus, but it you tell me why it's sass first.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

Well, I'm not talking about the shooting itself. I'm talking about there's a video that comes out of they're clearing the place, and there's one man in this video that is sitting. Instead of he's not recording, he's not hitting the deck, he is just sitting continually eating his salad while everyone's being evacuated, the shooter's being tackled, and this man is just continuing to eat his dinner.

SPEAKER_00 29:35

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:37

They found him, they interviewed him, he's like, I'm a germophobe. I wasn't getting on that dirty Hilton floor, and I have bad knees. I wasn't getting back up if I did get down there. So I just finished my salad.

SPEAKER_02 29:50

You know, things that people say when there's a shooter, an active shooter going on.

SPEAKER_01 29:53

I'm a germophobe, I'm not getting on the floor.

SPEAKER_02 29:55

First of all, I'm not getting on that floor.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

I also think he probably was like, he's not aiming for me. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_02 30:03

Uh so every year they've got this White House correspondence dinner. Usually comedians come and you know, crack jokes, and Obama famously had pretty good correspondence dinners. He brought in Keen Peel to do the like Obama translator guy with uh Jordan Peel.

SPEAKER_01 30:19

Finger translator, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:20

Fantastic, or uh Key Michael Key, awesome. Um Trump doesn't like being made fun of, so he's kind of you know knocked that off, but they're still having this White House correspondence dinner. Um, and then all of a sudden there's an active shooter guy that tried to break in and shoot the president, and luckily they stomped him before it it all went down. And I I just feel like it's a little sus to me. I don't know if this is too tinfoil hat, but it's like he had like several massive weapons. He got all the way through White House security to the ballroom, right? That the president and all the higher ups of the world are. Got there, they they managed to tackle him, he didn't shoot anybody, and then the narrative turns into yeah, you know, see, that's why we need this new Donald Trump ballroom. This wouldn't happen in the new Donald Trump ballroom.

SPEAKER_03 31:10

He did shoot um a secret service agent, and it caught him in the vest.

SPEAKER_02 31:14

Yeah, everybody, everybody survived, is the point.

SPEAKER_03 31:18

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Um and the uh the narrative jumped pretty quickly to the ballroom's already happening.

SPEAKER_01 31:24

They broke ground.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

It's this is yeah. No, I'm I'm fighting the ballroom. I I'm all about that, but I just feel like this is maybe some kind of like to garter public support, maybe.

unknown 31:38

No.

SPEAKER_03 31:39

Maybe it was fake is what you're the assumption. I think it's weird.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

Do you think the moon landing's real, but you think the shooting was fake?

SPEAKER_02 31:45

You don't think that they could pay somebody to one of those prison guys? You know those guys that like are in and up. What's what show is that? Prison. Breaking bad, where they pay a guy to go back into prison.

SPEAKER_01 31:55

To go back into prison.

SPEAKER_02 31:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:57

I never saw Breaking Bad, but Okay.

SPEAKER_02 31:59

There's a narrative where they're like, oh yeah, we're gonna pretend that this guy's Walter White so that he goes away to prison, but it's like a guy Walter White makes meth, right?

SPEAKER_01 32:08

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 32:09

Thank you. Okay, um They pay these guys to go to prison that are already like doing life sentences. They get out on good behavior.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

Nothing is beyond the scope of possibility in the world. Truly. Very good. I just saw a video of these. Um, I don't know if you're keeping up with Russian politics. Uh-huh. There's a huge, massive exchange of prisoners from Russia to Argentina. Oh. Um, because some sleeper spies, a family of Russians that had been living in Argentina for like 10 years, have two kids, fully infiltrated into these like government jobs, got caught, and they were Russian spies. The Russian government tr turned over 24 prisoners to Argentina in exchange for this family of four.

SPEAKER_02 32:52

Whoa.

SPEAKER_01 32:54

And then they just got back to Russia and they're met with flowers and they're like on a private jet, and Putin meets the kids, and the kids have no idea their family is spies. Born in Argentina, raised in Argentina. Putin says hello to them in Spanish because they don't know Russian, because they had no clue they were Russian. And they come back to this country that their parents are like crying, being hugged by Putin. They have no clue who they're not Argentinian, not Argentinian at all. Russian spies. And so I was like, you know what? Nobody knows. Anything can happen. Anything can happen. No one is spying the way that Russia's spying. Sure.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

I'm just gonna say it. They got they're pretty known for sleeper spies and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_02 33:31

And I think the US does pretty well with that sort of thing.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

Well, and you know what the thing is? I would never know. They would never, they would never tell me they my internet presence is too vast. They would never trust me to know anything about spies.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

Yeah, well, totally. That's probably so you think.

SPEAKER_01 33:50

Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 33:51

Yeah. I actually would believe that you were a spy because I feel like your stories are so exaggerated that I'd go, yeah, it was a little too good. You know what I'm saying? Every time we talk about something, you're like, oh yeah, I lived in Paraguay one time, and I'm like, really?

SPEAKER_01 34:05

Did you?

SPEAKER_03 34:08

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying, right?

SPEAKER_02 34:09

The stories are that are Annie's stories are a little too on the nose, you think?

SPEAKER_03 34:13

There's just a lot of them, is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 34:15

I lived a lot of life earlier.

SPEAKER_02 34:16

I think spies are usually like the people that live quiet lives, aren't they? Annie's a little too.

SPEAKER_01 34:21

They're like, yeah, Josh Mose.

SPEAKER_02 34:23

Yeah. I think she's a bad spy. I think she's letting her history. Well, I would be.

SPEAKER_01 34:26

I would be a bad spy. I would be.

SPEAKER_02 34:28

We're like, why did you travel the world, Annie? She's like, huh, for church.

SPEAKER_03 34:33

For God.

SPEAKER_02 34:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 34:35

It's actually perfect. It's the perfect thing.

SPEAKER_02 34:37

And then you get it, you get a story like, oh, I was Mormon in high school, and I'm like, I thought you went to Mexico for like Christian God. And she's like, No, I didn't.

SPEAKER_03 34:45

No, I definitely didn't.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

Oh, why? You've never dabbled in more than one God.

SPEAKER_03 34:48

Oh, okay. Single God.

SPEAKER_02 34:52

Look, there's three guys on that Smartless podcast.

SPEAKER_01 34:55

All I'm saying is We're launching what the Podcast is mobile.

SPEAKER_02 35:01

Thank you. God, you guys, that's what I was trying to get at. Start the mobile company. Thank you. I'm just saying Donald Trump does crazy stuff all the time. He get he gets one of his guys to say, hey, you know, just break into the thing and we're gonna whisk you away to like a private prison in upstate New York or something. Just break into the White House correspondence dinner, shoot this guy in the chest. He's got a bulletproof vest on, he's fine.

SPEAKER_03 35:27

Okay, what I'll say, the information I saw, which go ahead. Okay, could be fake. Never know. I'm I'm with you. Anything's conspiracy. I think it it could be way what you're saying. But they're saying that the hotel, like you can't clear an entire hotel, is the problem. Right. So they're saying the story, at least from what they're telling the public, is that this guy got a room way ahead of time. Oh like has been staying at the hotel, and then where the ball like w basically rushed the ballroom entrance. There was security to get into the ballroom, but that's the part that he fully like speed ran through with the biggest. Like a like a Jack Ryan situation. Like a mission possible. That's why they like they they actually from what it sounds like, they actually took him down pretty quickly. Yeah. But that's why it felt so close to like where the action was, is because he basically was sitting in the hotel, and then like as soon as he got to the lobby, he just freaking like ran and was shooting, and and that was the chaos slash piece. But I agree. I do I think it's strange. You know what I thought was even more strange? I saw footage of the evacuation, like from the from where Trump was sitting. And Secret Service took JD Vance first, which I thought was weird because Well, because okay, because come on.

SPEAKER_01 36:41

Really?

SPEAKER_03 36:41

Go ahead. Also, Trump tripped, which I thought was weird too. Hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 36:45

Um, I think they're kind of like, listen.

SPEAKER_02 36:48

This guy's got severe diabetes.

SPEAKER_01 36:51

This guy, this guy, if we lose him, sad. But we gotta bank on this guy for more than that.

SPEAKER_03 36:57

Well, and I think to some degree, I think, like, kind of like what you're saying. I think I think they know Trump's one, he's he's he's not very fit, so he can't move very quickly. Two, he's also stubborn as hell. I mean, remember when at his other assassination temp when they clipped his ear and he was like insistent on standing up and they were like, you literally can't. And he was like, he wanted to stand up and like in a danger. I mean, he's the commander in chief.

SPEAKER_01 37:19

Well, everyone give it two steps back. The guy did get shot in the ear. Like, you gotta, I'm sure that there is a little bit of trauma response to shooting because he did get shot. Was it he barely got shot, but he still got if I got clipped in the ear by a gunshot from someone trying to kill me, you guys wouldn't hear the end of it. But you know what's crazy about that though? He's the commander-in-chief. You would think he'd have more security all the time.

SPEAKER_02 37:45

He got shot. Did you see those guys come out?

SPEAKER_03 37:47

Did you see those guys another?

SPEAKER_01 37:49

Those freaking guys with the big mouth. I'm like, there is firepower there. And then going back to my original point, the video of the guy eating the salad in the background is those guys with the big guns and the full body armor, and that dude's just sitting there, like You thought it was uh Dina White waiting.

SPEAKER_03 38:04

Dana White was there, uh the head the CEO of UFC, and he's like buddy buddy with Trump. And you see a picture of him, he's like, he almost sits on the table when it's all happening. Everyone's all ducked down. They're like, Why'd you duck down? He's like, I don't know. I thought it was kind of cool. I like I thought it was kind of interesting. Like, he's like, I he's like, I wasn't worried about getting shot. He's like, I don't know. I just I just wanted to watch it all go down.

SPEAKER_01 38:26

And the guy who was eating a salad, he said the same thing. He was like, There are other people who are just sitting. He goes, most of them are reporters videotaping. He goes, Everyone's changing. I just was the one eating the salad.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

Was the guy eating a salad a Democrat or was he?

SPEAKER_01 38:37

No, I if he was at the White House Correspondents Center, probably not.

SPEAKER_02 38:40

I mean, I'm sure there's a few. But did you see that at the White House Correspondent Center?

SPEAKER_01 38:43

Bertie Sanders was there, wasn't he? Did you see what what China they were eating on?

SPEAKER_03 38:46

No.

SPEAKER_01 38:47

Hillary Clinton's First Lady China.

SPEAKER_03 38:50

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_01 38:50

Yeah. Every first lady gets to design a set of China for the White House. Of course. Got him. And they used Hillary Clinton's for the White House correspondence.

SPEAKER_03 38:59

Is that intentional or my question is do they bring that from the White House for this corresponding?

SPEAKER_01 39:03

It is kept in the Smithsonian.

SPEAKER_03 39:05

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 39:06

So they brought it from there.

SPEAKER_03 39:06

So they brought it from there. But it like to me it's like feels kind of odd. I'm like, why would you bring a presidential first lady's.

SPEAKER_02 39:15

It's plates. Easier for the city.

SPEAKER_03 39:16

Or maybe, maybe, like, maybe like the president or like, you know, maybe there's some sort of tiered level. But I just thought it was a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 39:22

The guys in the back are probably just eating off of whatever the Hilton has. I'm not listening.

SPEAKER_03 39:27

I'm not pro-ball um ballroom. I think the ballroom's stupid. But I'm also kind of like, I mean, the fact that they can't have the correspondent dinner at the White House or or somewhere that's even close enough. I mean, I'm not pro-ball broom.

SPEAKER_02 39:41

I don't really use dumb, but I don't think they should be spending money on anything. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 39:45

Seeing that they keep shutting down. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:47

Seeing is that the they are pushing for a$1.5 trillion uh military defense budget next year.

SPEAKER_01 39:55

You know what? I don't think that's the biggest in history. I've got a lot of I've got a lot of issues with our federal government.

SPEAKER_02 40:01

1.5 trill.

SPEAKER_01 40:02

I've got a lot of issues with our federal government. I'm pretty PO'd with our state government right now. Oh the road construction, the roads are so damn bad.

SPEAKER_02 40:13

That sounds like local government.

SPEAKER_01 40:14

I'm just gonna say all through the state of California, the roads are terrible. Shutting down the you go to Lake Tahoe. The Lake Tahoe is split half of it, half of it is in Nevada, half of it is in California. The moment you hit the Nevada side smooth, all the roads perfectly smooth. You can tell when you hit back into California because like it's horrible. Um San Diego, San Diego, there was a whole thing where and I don't know if it was true. I I it feels true because I knew multiple people who got speeding tickets, um, but they cracked down for 48 hours and basically ticketed everyone.

SPEAKER_02 40:50

CHP.

SPEAKER_01 40:51

CHP l local police officer uh like the California the state of California is cracking down for 48 hours on road laws.

SPEAKER_03 40:58

Yeah, because they're trying to pay for the roads.

SPEAKER_01 41:00

Because they're trying to pay for the roads, and now they're trying to pass the mileage tax, it got brought to the next tier, which would basically be us paying taxes on how far we drive versus the gas.

SPEAKER_02 41:10

I would love to. And you know, maybe this says more about me. I should go to like a local planning meeting or a state planning meeting or whatever. We want to I want to live out parks and rec. I want to know where are all the taxes I've already paid. Where's that money? You need to raise more paying. You need to raise more. Well, not me. I'm talking about tax paying American. Wait, what? Where's all the money that you already have?

SPEAKER_01 41:36

And on the post show, I'll tell you where it is because I know where it is.

SPEAKER_02 41:38

Oh, oh a lot of uh clue where it is, buddy.

SPEAKER_01 41:42

I'll tell you on the post.

SPEAKER_02 41:43

Government prostitutes, you think?

SPEAKER_01 41:44

I can't tell you on here, but I'll tell you on here. I can't tell you. I'm telling you, I'm telling you. I will tell you after the show, though. I'm telling you, I'm telling you on the post show. I know now.

Alright. 283 episodes, 84, something like that. Uh we gotta keep the cameras rolling, gotta keep the lights on. Okay. And luckily, you have a chance to support the show. For$4 a month, you get access to the post show. We can we do an extra episode of the podcast every single week. We talk about crazy stuff, government conspiracy type stuff, and so head on down to the link in the bio. Guys, I am so sorry. I'm turning 30 this year, and I've just become this like burping, like gross. I'm like sniffly and like burping off the mic. And it just it's we did have chilies. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:48

Do you think maybe we should eat better?

SPEAKER_02 42:50

I think we should at least go back to eat after the podcast. Yeah, I think so. We used to be young and hungry on the podcast.

SPEAKER_01 42:57

If we eat after your podcast, Jordan and John can't come.

SPEAKER_02 43:00

We could start earlier. What quit your job.
