The Boys are back! On a Sunday evening no less.

Batten down the hatches, this episode is bananas. Bo and Jack discuss their dance moves and how they aren't very good at that. From there things take a turn for some of their most wild conversations yet.

Bo discusses the moment he knew Denzel Washington was a star. Jack talks about death by 'As Seen on TV' products.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for what ensues!

Introduction and Slap Chop Reminiscence

00:00:00
Speaker
I remember the slap chop guy. I'm sorry. I just am looking it up. Yeah. What were you saying though? My bad. I just don't like slap chop. That's pretty much the gist of it.

Podcast Introduction and Listener Engagement

00:00:26
Speaker
Yo, yo, yo, what's up, everybody? Welcome back to Talk Sauce. Yeah, the podcast for Talk Sauce. By Talk Sauce. Nice. It gets better every time. It never isn't satisfying. I wonder if, do you think anyone listens to it? You know how if you're watching, for example, the UFC, and you know every time Bruce Buffer is going to be like,
00:00:50
Speaker
It's time. Do you think people while listening to the TalkSauce podcast will be like the talk or the podcast for TalkSauce by TalkSauce? They say it in like along with us. If anyone's done that, you're like my favorite person in the world. It's easily like a top two satisfying feelings. You know what number one is? I discovered this yesterday.

Comedy Show Experiences and Audience Interaction

00:01:13
Speaker
I was hosting a comedy show last night and while I was hosting to get the audience to clap I would like raise my hands like a conductor and I would slowly I would slow or a composer I guess and I would slowly do it and I told them the higher I get the harder you have to like get excited and stuff and then I and then I would like I bring my hands down instantaneously and they would stop
00:01:39
Speaker
I became drunk with power. I did that like five times. I was like, this is the best feeling in the world. This is why you do this. I was like, this is why you do stand up comedy. That was the drug. You've been chasing that dragon for the past like six years. I've been doing jokes. What have I been doing? I just need to get people to clap and stop immediately. Jokes.
00:02:02
Speaker
You can do an entire like set just completely silent and just be like, alright guys, here's some ground rules. First of all, no jokes involved. The second. All that laughing. Yeah. If you laugh, you're out. Yeah. Get the fuck out of here.
00:02:18
Speaker
Just have like a break, like a meltdown on stage when someone starts laughing. I used to work with a couple other comedians when I worked at Uber and we had this bit that we would always riff about, like the comedian who gets mad at the crowd for laughing. Like he says like a really good joke and then the crowd starts laughing. He's like, what, you're going to laugh at that? This is what makes you laugh. You guys are fucking sheep, you know? Exactly. It'll be just like that.
00:02:48
Speaker
That's so funny. If that happened to me, I would be so confused. One time I was having a really good set on stage, and I was really feeling it, so I did that. And you know what I wouldn't recommend? Doing that.
00:03:07
Speaker
i was like this is what makes you laugh and no and everyone was like what the fuck i was like i don't know what happened you just raise your hands no one claps but but that that clapping thing
00:03:26
Speaker
might be number one closely followed podcast for talk sauce by talk sauce being okay i'll take that honestly because that clapping thing sounds incredible i need to try that it was it you should just next time you're duke karaoke or something yeah maybe if i ever have like
00:03:42
Speaker
just some money lying around.

Pranking at Bachelor Party and TV Show Hosts

00:03:44
Speaker
Maybe I'll pay like 50 people to just fill a room and be like, all right, guys, I just need you for 15 minutes. This is what you could go on like TaskRabbit and hire people to do that. Did people like I did TaskRabbit for a while? And because like I put comedian, you could like put like performer and stuff and like I would get hit up to weird shit. Like one time this girl hit me up on TaskRabbit.
00:04:08
Speaker
to go to a watch party she was having for The Bachelor and trick her friends into thinking that they were like I was a producer for The Bachelor and like I was we were about to film like their watch party and put it on the show and she was like just come like
00:04:26
Speaker
buy a headset and I'll pay you back and just trick us. I was like, what's the end game? You know what I mean? She didn't have it fully thought out. No, it was like, what's the reveal? I was like, do you want me to strip? What's going on? What do you want me to do? I wound up not doing it. I had a show that day, but I was super curious what that would...
00:04:50
Speaker
Because there was no end to her idea. So it's like, you want me to just be like, just kidding and then leave? Like it felt odd. Or you could just like film the whole thing and not tell them about it. And then she's just like, oh, they decided not to air it. That's the whole thing. Yeah, just be like this. We're going to air this during the finale and then just never talk to them again and then never
00:05:15
Speaker
explain why it's not like like just ghosts them entire like when they're watching the finale she's like guys this is our part like we're gonna be on this and then she just like leaves and they never see her again and of course they'll never see me again yeah you're you come out on the bachelor and i go these idiots yeah you think you're special
00:05:41
Speaker
Chris Hansen's like, Chris Hansen's the host, the former host of The Bachelor. No, who's Chris Hansen? I think he might be. Isn't he like- No, Chris Hansen might be- To catch a predator. Yeah, to catch a predator. I think it's the same guy. No, to catch a predator in The Bachelor didn't have the same office. Are you sure? If the host of To Catch a Predator was the host of The Bachelor, it would be a very different vibe. Okay, Chris Hansen, to catch a predator,
00:06:08
Speaker
The bachelor host got fired recently. Dude, I'm pretty sure it's the same person. It's Matthew something maybe. Oh, Chris Harrison. Okay. Oh, that makes sense. My bad. Sorry. People are probably like, Jack, you're stupid. If we know something about the listeners of the TalkSauce podcast, they love to catch a predator and the bachelor. Yeah, and the bachelor. Two favorite shows. We've polled, we've done studies. What if we made a combo of the two show? Actually, no. No, that would be very bad.
00:06:38
Speaker
Do you what do you think the correlation is in our viewers watching of both of those shows as much as they do? What's the correlation between the two shows? like What do you mean like what person they like seeing? Yeah, why do the talk sauce community? Love those two shows. Why is that? Consistently listed as talk sauce listeners favorite shows. Well, I would say in general they're good people Right to catch a predator. Well, no, I'm saying the people of talks
00:07:05
Speaker
are good people and they like to see bad. No, they like to see bad people get taken down, right? But then on the contrary, none of them have ever found true love. Sure. Okay. I was going to say that they like seeing people get embarrassed on TV, but I guess. Yeah, it took a different approach there. But I guess, tell us listeners why you guys like those two shows so much. I'd love to hear why. Dude, by the way,
00:07:33
Speaker
quick aside, I've been very impressed with our listening numbers here.

Podcast Rivalries and Listener Statistics

00:07:38
Speaker
We've gotten more listens than I expected, I gotta say.
00:07:45
Speaker
The first one, except for the most recent one, the rest of them have over 20 listens. That's pretty solid. But the most recent one only has like 15 or something like 13. Who dropped off? Who the fuck? I don't know. We don't have that solid of data, but I dropped my phone in a goddamn toilet for you people. And this is how you repay us. We need to figure out who's not listening and punish them.
00:08:11
Speaker
big brother them. We'd just call everyone, hey, you listened to the podcast yesterday? I mean, we definitely have a couple listeners in the Pentagon and we could super go in deep on that data. We could just be like, hey, Pentagon, tell us who put listening. Hey, Pentagon. It's not like, and by couple listeners in the Pentagon, the building itself.
00:08:33
Speaker
And it's infrastructure. Yeah, we have listening devices that we refer to as listening. Public buildings and hardware love talk sauce. That's true.
00:08:43
Speaker
Not private as much. We're trying to get in the private sector a little more, but public workers love it. Yeah, libraries are actually big fans. Librarians, they love it. I heard at the New York Public Library, you have to be super quiet unless you're listening to or quoting talk songs. Yeah, I've heard that too.
00:09:04
Speaker
You can be as loud as you want if it's relating to talk. Yeah, but what it's weird though is in Boston If they hear you say anything about talk sauce, they just beat the shit out of you in the life. Well, they They're fans of our podcast rival talking sauce
00:09:23
Speaker
Who whom

Club Dancing Anecdotes

00:09:24
Speaker
we hate and if we find out yeah guys listen you it's actually hilarious There is a podcast called talking and there are rivals we should we should form a rivalry We should challenge them to something like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson who like we should we should fight them We should do something to get them we get like a beyblade battle or play Yu-Gi-Oh with them
00:09:46
Speaker
Maybe I feel like there's something we could, what about like, like a dance off? That could be cool. You're a pretty good dancer. Oh, I'm great. I actually have some pretty good synchronized dance. What if, okay. How about this? A secret handshake competition. Oh, we would win easy money. Yeah. But we can't open that whenever we go. Yeah. I mean, we've like, we're not like super big on secret handshakes, but if you guys want to have a secret competition, like we would prefer a dance competition. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But if you guys want to do the secret handshake thing, that's fine.
00:10:18
Speaker
I was at a gay club last night and man, I was like dancing and stuff and I was so clearly like out of place by my dancing.
00:10:31
Speaker
How so I stuck out like a sore thumb because I'm just I'm a very like stiff not You know, just like that that like the white people at concert dance or yeah Yeah, it's like your your elbows are slightly bent. That's like a back and forth That's the foundation of how I dance and that's like not and the foundation of my dance is 90% of my dance. I
00:10:52
Speaker
Yeah, there's a there's 10% variable here and there like like a footstep the people there were like fucking moving You know what I mean? Like they they were really going for it dancing and stuff and like we're much more impressive at it than I but I was Yeah, I was at a bar like a somewhat like a kind of gay bar a little bit gay. Um
00:11:12
Speaker
a couple weeks ago and it was like the same kind of thing. There's these two dudes that were wearing like matching outfits and they made a dance circle and they were like perfectly executing the worm and like spinning around and shit. And I was like, yo, these guys are sick. What were they matching in? They were wearing like some crazy shit like leather pants. Next time we match, we have to either do the handshake in public or do a synchronized dance.
00:11:35
Speaker
We're both. What if we do that? OK, here's what we're doing. All right. OK, what is it? We show up. For those of you who don't know, Jack and I have a very like prolonged and detailed secret handshake. It's awesome. We're going to sell it. It's really pretty. We actually have. Yeah, we have a video and we're going to figure out how to make it the NFT. Yeah, it's it's an awesome video. We did a little research on making NFT. It's like it can be done. We definitely have to put more work into it, but I did find resources on how to. Yeah.
00:12:04
Speaker
So we're going to make that video on NFT. It's really cool, but you can only see it if you buy the NFT for like $6 million. We should sell the NFT for 69 cents or $4 and 20 cents. $420 and 69 cents. Well, that would be our second NFT, which is us doing the handshake without a shirt.
00:12:22
Speaker
Oh, dude, I don't know. I feel like the shirt was part of it, because we were dressed like this was on 4th of July. Yeah, we were matching. I came to New York, and Bo and I were, he was wearing, we were both wearing like baseball tees. One was red, one was blue. Yeah, like white and red and white and blue. So we looked like an American flag, and we were both wearing high top Converse. And khaki shorts. Yeah, it was awesome.
00:12:50
Speaker
It was so that was like the most patriotic I've ever been I think I I've Thoroughly enjoyed dressing up for 4th of July. It's fun. I think it's very fun.

Film Festival Experiences and Industry Insights

00:13:00
Speaker
Jurassic like the American flag this year. I'm like It is a good flag red and blue and white is a good color. It just goes together so nicely
00:13:09
Speaker
Yeah, for 4th of July this year, I have a white t-shirt that has a picture of the Beatles in front of an American flag. And that's what I wore this year. They're not even American. That's a little. I don't know about that one. But there was an American flag. They were saying, we love America. Oh, OK. These lads from Manchester, they were like, we love this country. That might honestly be more patriotic than being American. Right? That's what I'm saying. It's like a foreign person who's like,
00:13:36
Speaker
loves America. Yeah, they adopted it as their home versus being born into it. They're like, I didn't see a photo of them from a British flag. I can tell you that. That's very true. But also same colors and great colors. Yeah, great colors. They actually like, we owe our color combo to them. Did you know that?
00:13:56
Speaker
That is true. There's a lot like a lot of, well, that probably because they colonized like three quarters of the world. Every country has. Why do you think culturally we're so similar to them? It's not like they were us. What if I didn't know?
00:14:15
Speaker
i didn't know that like they colonized the united states and were our like i thought we colonized them yeah i thought we gave them our colors yeah in 1776 we said you guys can be a country now we were like we were like we're done with your taxes
00:14:33
Speaker
Yeah. We didn't want their tax money anymore. It's like, as an old lady with a funny hat on it and stuff, I was like, nah. Get it? Because the queen wears a crown. We don't know what crown it is. I like that. Yeah, I've never seen a crown in my life. I don't even know what that is to color with. It's like, what is the saying? It's like, someone says, like, can you fly this plane? Does the pope wear a funny hat? You know, it's that kind of thing. Is the pope a bear?
00:15:04
Speaker
Rick and Morty has a good one where there's one episode where the president tries to fly a helicopter and he's like, do you know how to fly? Are you able to do this? He, or they ask him something questioning his abilities. Like, does the Pope's a dick fit in a donut? Yeah. They're like, what does that mean? I don't know. He's like, I don't know. Exactly.
00:15:25
Speaker
Yeah, because I think the typical one is the Pope Catholic or it's a bear shit in the woods. Yeah. The rest are like bastardizations. Yeah, like you made up is the Pope a bear, right? That's a jackhammer trademark. Yeah, also are the Bears Catholic, which kind of caught on for a little bit, which I'm a big fan of. In my circles, it was being said. Or the Bears Catholic. Or just bears as a species.
00:15:53
Speaker
Yeah, it's up to your own interpretation. I'm not going to tell everyone exactly how they have to feel when they say that statement. I do like that it's a bit abstract. Yeah, you should say it on that. It's whatever you take from it is what it is. You're not telling people what it is. They have to figure that out for themselves and different people think of it. Next time you're in a situation like that, I want you to try it out, call me immediately and let me know how it went.
00:16:16
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That goes for everybody. Also to remember, tell us why you like the bachelor and to catch a predator. Yes. That's honestly probably more important, but close. Yeah, for sure. But they're both, they're both of importance. Yeah. So I was your weekend. This is by the way, guys, Sunday night, which is a little atypical for us here.
00:16:37
Speaker
Sunday night is Sundays are the day that I've we've been kind of saying for a while I feel like would be the best day to record if we could record on Sundays and this week it worked out so we'll see I think we should try and push for Sundays if we can I like it it's it gets rid of the Sunday scaries do you just have like an overwhelming sense of dread Sunday nights usually me no
00:17:01
Speaker
I really don't. No, I don't really either, but I definitely do get just like some general anxiety like on Sundays, I think. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, but you have like a real job. I do like customer service. You know what I mean? It's like it's fine. I just like, it doesn't like give me dread. I used to when I worked at like Yelp and stuff. Yeah, sales is the worst of dread because I used to always have like
00:17:30
Speaker
I think it was Tuesday morning or something like at 8am I had like a pipeline meeting and it was like all the higher ups in my company and stuff and I just had to like justify why I had my job and it was just oh my god like the night before I was always stressed out about it. Yeah that sucks. Yeah and now you don't have to do stuff like that huh? Yeah.
00:17:50
Speaker
which is sick. That's nice. This weekend was good. On Friday, I actually got to go to the premiere of the New Denzel Washington movie, The Tragedy of Macbeth at the New York Film Festival. Oh, really? How was that? Yeah, it was awesome, dude. I have a buddy who's a photographer, and I was at a birthday party with him last week. And he was telling me that he's shooting some stuff for the New York Film Festival. And I jokingly was like, hey, man, if you can get me in,
00:18:20
Speaker
I'll go, but I wasn't joking. I was but I said, you know, yeah, it's like you said it in a joking tone, but you're obviously going to take it up on it. Take him. Yeah. And then the next day he texted me and he was like, hey, I'm actually shooting something for the new movie, The Tragedy of Macbeth, which is Joel Cohen of the Coen brothers first solo movie. Wow. He was like, it's a press screening. So it was like me and a bunch of journalists and a Q&A. So so he's like,
00:18:50
Speaker
If you just kind of help me film during the Q&A, I can get you in. And all I had to do, he set up the tripod and everything. I just had to babysit as a camera and like hit the button. And I got to like watch the Q&A and stuff. It was one a really great movie. Like it's hard to talk about without spoiling too much, but just it's a really, really cool movie. Really? It's like a Shakespeare adaptation of like Macbeth, which
00:19:16
Speaker
Is really I I mean i'm I would lie i'd be lying if I said like i'm no shakespeare, you know what I mean? But i've like seen some stuff about mcbeth and I think it's like a Like a good story better or worse than the romeo and juliet with leonardo caprio. I don't like that movie I saw that and I was like this movie is crazy. Yeah, I think I I I don't like that one but uh
00:19:40
Speaker
This one's really good. It's they filmed it on like sound stages and stuff. So it's like a weird hybrid of like a movie and a play. So like it's it's very odd, but like really well done. But it's like spoken in like Shakespearean dialogue. So they like kept the dialogue as like Shakespeare. It was cool. It was really cool seeing like Francis McDormand and like Denzel Washington like speak like Shakespearean dialogue and stuff.
00:20:09
Speaker
And then afterwards they did like a Q&A. And so it was the director and most of the cast, including Denzel Washington and Francis McDormand. And when Denzel Washington walked into the room,
00:20:23
Speaker
The like energy shifted. He just walked in. He just walked in. You're like, that's a fucking movie star. You know what I mean? You could just feel it like the way he carries himself and stuff. You're like, oh, he has it. You know, it's it's really wild to see in person someone. I don't think I've really seen anyone that famous, like up close and personal.
00:20:44
Speaker
I saw Oscar Isaac on a plane one time and it was the same thing. I walked by him and saw him so briefly, but you could just feel it. The second I saw him, I was like, that's a fucking movie star. You could just tell.
00:21:15
Speaker
It's almost like an international flight in terms. Yeah. Yeah. So like the way they, the flight is, um, like one of the bigger planes. So you would like flight at London on or something. And the first class wasn't just like extended leg room. Like it is on like a flight from like Austin to Dallas or something. It's like, it actually had like a little nook where you could like close it off and like sleep and stuff.
00:21:18
Speaker
with these people.
00:21:38
Speaker
Whoa, that's really cool. Yeah. Nice. So what is the New York Film Festival like? Is it all just like they show movies, do Q and A's? And where is it? It's in the Upper West Side at Lincoln Center. So they have a bunch of screening rooms and stuff. The New York Film Festival is one of the big
00:22:00
Speaker
film festivals in terms of setting up the Oscars of this year. A lot of films make their US debuts and stuff. And this was the first screening of that movie. So I was among the first group of people in the world who saw that movie.
00:22:19
Speaker
Which is wild. That's awesome. I had no business. So they show like a whole weekend thing and they show a bunch. It's like two weeks. So it's like they like I went to like a press screening and then that night they did like a red carpet like premiere and then like had like a big party, which I obviously was not at. But yeah, no way you get into that. My target body was there, though. No, dude, that is crazy. So how many people were at the screening?
00:22:46
Speaker
Like 150 maybe. Were there like eight listers there? Like a bunch of them? Or was it? Well, the screening was just like for journalists and stuff. Oh, okay. Write about it and stuff. And there were some students there too, because it's in the same building that like Juilliard is in.
00:23:03
Speaker
the acting school yeah so there were like some students and stuff and those Q and A's are really funny too because it's like it's just like people when they ask their questions like trying to prove to like the director and like the cast how smart they are like about movies and stuff so it's like it was kind of annoying but it was really funny and the director
00:23:27
Speaker
Joel Cohen, it was a 40 minute like Q&A session and there wasn't a more unhappy person in the city of New York for those 40 minutes than Joel Cohen, the director of Macbeth. He was so miserable. Like someone asked him about streaming services and he like audibly like kind of went, oh my God, like kind of like react. He's like, I can't believe I have to answer these fucking questions.
00:23:54
Speaker
Well, were there any like other in particular ones where people like that he hated? Uh.

Film Critiques and Release Discussions

00:24:02
Speaker
I think just generally all of it, but there were so many people being like, no, what did you take away from like Orson Welles, Lance, these adaptations of Macbeth? Like I've watched both of those movies so many times and I saw a lot of like that kind of shit. You know what I mean? It was it was quite pretentious like going to an art museum with art students.
00:24:23
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. That same kind of thing. Yeah. That's so funny. It's just funny when people like try so hard to show other people that they know a lot about things. It's so funny. It's like, it's like, oh, I'm going to impress Denzel Washington so much. Especially if it's something that's just like art that's so subject to like individual interpretations. Right. Right. But it was it was so like cool, like just seeing them like talk. They it was really insightful for like how much he didn't want to be there. But Denzel was so like
00:24:53
Speaker
Like he was unbelievably charismatic. So like just him being that like he seemed super down with all of it. But yeah, but they had a lot of really interesting stuff to say and like I walked out of that movie.
00:25:06
Speaker
And one of my first thoughts was I, cause it doesn't come out like really until Christmas day. So my first thought was like, I can't believe I have to wait three months to see this movie again. I was like, really? So good. It's my favorite movie of the year so far. Wow. That's cool. So how come movies will get released in Europe before America? Like Dune. I don't know why they do that because Dune is out. You know, my roommate Hunter and I were talking about this the other day and
00:25:37
Speaker
We had technical issues. Yeah, it was me again. No. All right. So here's what happened. I have like a USB microphone and I accidentally like Bo and I were talking and sometimes I get like really emphatic with my hands and I kind of karate chop. He was very excited about what I was saying. Yeah. And it was just really cool. Like the whole.
00:25:59
Speaker
you know, thing you were just talking about. Yeah, yeah. It's weird, like because we've had it where we pause it for a sec and then we're off for like 10 minutes. And to everyone else, it just sounds like a continuation of the conversation. You know what I mean? And for us, there was like a lapse in time. If you guys see that we released episode 31 part one and 31 part two, that's because we couldn't merge them together. Yeah, because Jack does not edit, but I think I can pull it off. Hell yeah. Let's go. Thanks.
00:26:29
Speaker
Yeah, but what I was saying, I don't know why they do that, the international first sometimes, because sometimes they release movies here first. Yeah. But the thing that Hunter and I were talking about, Hunter, my roommate, is he said it's kind of concerning that Dune hasn't had tickets get released in the US yet when it comes out in less than a month. You think they might not do it or something?
00:26:52
Speaker
I think they will, but it is odd that, like usually a movie like that, you can buy tickets like two months out. Really? You know? Yeah. Like a big movie like that. I feel like someone ever bought tickets that far in advance, so it didn't even... I will if I'm like hype as fuck. Like the second Dune tickets go on sale, I'm going to... Yeah. I'm going to buy some too. But what I was thinking is, so I'm assuming it only came out in theaters in Europe, right? Not on like HBO Max yet.
00:27:17
Speaker
I don't know. I mean, I'm if they're releasing everything on HBO Max, because what is, you know, you can do like those VPNs. I wonder if if it were on HBO Max, like, can you do that and just watch it? That's a good point. I bet you could. But I that movie at this point, I'm willing to wait another month to see how we waited frickin year. For those of you who don't know, Bo and I.
00:27:41
Speaker
Kelly and a lot of other people all dude. Yeah, right when the movie was announced. Mm-hmm. Like I got I got hunter to read it I think he got people to read it you got other people to read it to Kelly as well Like yeah, my sister read it my sister brother. I don't think she read the whole thing But actually my sister Emily asked for a shout out. So shout out
00:28:03
Speaker
Oh, is she the shout out this week? Yeah, she said, how do I get a shout out? And I said, I got you fam. Yeah, it's not very hard. If you want one, just let us know. Yeah. Like last week, we shout out like three people. So yeah. Yeah.
00:28:21
Speaker
Dude, I love giving shout outs, man. I just love it. I think it's a fun thing. Yeah. If you want to shout out, just literally just ask us and we'll, yeah, eventually, eventually we still, we will start charging for them. So get them while they're free. Yeah. Get them while the getting's good. All right. And you can sell it later. Maybe you could just like have the general.
00:28:41
Speaker
You know, excerpt of the shout out and then edit in your own name or someone else's name or something. There's a lot of options here. I can't wait till we can do shout outs on the blockchain. Yeah, that'll be cool. We need to do something like what's the freaking oh my God.
00:28:56
Speaker
The one where celebrities record stuff or cameo on the blockchain. Oh, that's genius. All of our ideas are just like other ideas, but on the blockchain. The best is still timeshares on the blockchain, but yeah, I agree. Okay, now this, I think, potentially could actually sell. It's because people are just obsessed with the blockchain, right? Yeah, anything on blockchain.
00:29:19
Speaker
We'd seriously, and I know we say this all the fucking time, we need to get this podcast on the blockchain.

Blockchain and Podcasting: A Futuristic Idea

00:29:25
Speaker
There's definitely a way to do it. Dude, I also love that as a running theme of the podcast. Now that we're on Spotify, we're like, we need to get off Spotify. On the blockchain immediately. Spotify, the American dollar, fiat currency in general, and Spotify are all going to crumble to the modern economy, so the only way that we can pull off this podcast is by going on the blockchain.
00:29:47
Speaker
We're the only forward-thinking podcast in the world. Yeah, and it's a good thing we don't get many listens yet, so no one can steal it. I know. Joe Rogan would. He would hear this and he'd be like, holy shit. He would have this on his podcast. Could you imagine if Joe Rogan episode 4,000 talks off on the blockchain? Joe Rogan's just like a brain floating in like jello. I feel like this is what I think would happen if you and I went on Joe Rogan.
00:30:13
Speaker
You and I would be in the studio in Austin, Texas. We know nothing about crypto. We know nothing about blockchain. We could convince him that we know everything about blockchain. I don't know. Maybe. He would just be like, mm-hmm. All right. We just go off for three and a half hours. We consider ourselves crypto crypto experts.
00:30:34
Speaker
Every opinion we have is wrong, but we're like no we just believe differently like we're contrarians Yeah, they're like actually like technically that's not true because of blah blah blah well you're entitled to your own opinion
00:30:49
Speaker
That's the name of the podcast. You're entitled to your own opinion. I agree. I think that's a great name. I think we do good bits here. We should change the name to BitSauce. BitSauce? No, BitSauce is on Patreon. Everything we don't do on Spotify or the blockchain is for Patreon.
00:31:14
Speaker
Maybe we can make Patreon on the blockchain too. Oh, for sure. I do. That would be cool. We should. Yeah, I do think it's hilarious that like if we did do something that stupid and it was like on the blockchain, like people freak out. Dude. Because NFTs are just memes on blockchain. You know what I mean? They really are. Dude, well, I always see, remember I was talking to you last week about that 12 year old who?
00:31:40
Speaker
It like made those NFTs the weird whale things made like $400,000. Yeah, so I Saw an article about that and I like read the article But I wanted to like see if there was a video breakdown of it or something and there's always these dudes It's it's always two dudes who are just they're doing pretty much exactly what we're doing and they're young guys
00:32:01
Speaker
And they're talking about the blockchain much like we are, but they like really believe in the blockchain. And I feel like if we keep going with what we're after, and we're really passionate about it, and we make it happen, they would easily talk about us on the block because they were just talking about how this 14 year old kid was like a genius. They were like, this kid's gonna be a trillionaire one day, like so hyped on the fact that he made an NFT. And they think it's just like the future and everything.
00:32:27
Speaker
Okay, so we this week we should do some actual research and see what the next steps we need to take to make an NFT are. Okay, I'm down. I think NFT is the pride because NFT is probably a bit more easy. There's a bit easier to make than putting an actual podcast on the blog. What if we made our own blockchain? Blockcast. But
00:32:52
Speaker
No, it's called you can Yeah, that's yeah, I like that talk block sauce shame No, but
00:33:08
Speaker
Can there be audio on the block? Like, I don't know how it works. Like, I've only seen... I've never seen video. I would be shocked. What we should do is reach out to, like, people who are making cryptos. Like, because anyone can pretty much just make a fucking crypto. You know, it's so ridiculous. Money is, like, so... It's all made up. It is made up, for sure. Yeah. And crypto is the same thing. It's just like someone's like, yeah, I'm going to start a new currency.
00:33:36
Speaker
Everyone's like, okay, we'll see how much value we deem it. It's ridiculous. But we should reach out to someone like that, like someone who's starting, not like the biggest crypto, but someone who's starting, has a pretty good track record of cryptos and then be like,
00:33:55
Speaker
We want to put a podcast on the blockchain. Why not? I feel like if we found someone. What do you think that would say? Imagine you're like a serious crypto guy.
00:34:13
Speaker
But I say this, I'm saying this earnestly. I'm saying this because this is what I think. If you're that into crypto and the blockchain and you really think it's the future and we just go and we're like, you know, we think Spotify, we think it's a bit like
00:34:30
Speaker
ancient like it's you know like Let's we want to we think the future we think the future of the podcast medium is on the blockchain Yeah, if you're that end of the blockchain and you're like the future is blockchain. Let's put a podcast on it. Sure is blockchain They would be I think they would I think you could find someone who would be super into it and would help us figure it out I think so someone's out there and
00:34:57
Speaker
We got to see if that's even possible. Do you know of any videos on the blockchain? I'm going to Google videos on the blockchain. NFTs are basically videos. I thought they were just images. They're like GIF NFTs. Yeah, these are all videos on how to understand the blockchain. Maybe we should watch one of those to start.
00:35:19
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good first step. I actually understand what the blockchain is. Let's do NFT first, because I feel like NFT is easier to make. Yeah, just a gif of the handshake.
00:35:30
Speaker
and then make an NFT with some, if we can put audio in it, I guess if we could put audio in an NFT, we don't have to find someone who starts a crypto. But I think finding someone who's pretty respected in the crypto world and have them help us put a podcast on the blockchain, I think that would
00:35:52
Speaker
Make us a big podcast. Yeah, we could just fudge the numbers about the amount of listeners. We're like, we're like the world's leading crypto podcast and neither of us know anything about crypto. It's also hilarious how much we've latched on to crypto since I never thought that would happen. I feel like I talk about crypto very little in my day to day life. But for some reason, we've been 15 minutes on it a week, at least.
00:36:23
Speaker
It is like it's just like this stupid Blake Canvas that like everyone's like everything is crypto and blockchain. So it's like yeah, I think it'd be hilarious to put a podcast on the blockchain. We have to we would get a Forbes write-up. Oh, yeah. No, people would be shocked.
00:36:45
Speaker
Dude, I feel like the cover of Forbes is the future of podcasting. Business insider. We're participating in Salesforce speaker conventions and shit. Everyone's like, the future is blockchain. Everybody's just... You raise your hand, everyone starts clapping, and then you just go...
00:37:10
Speaker
The Time magazine cover that we're on is you and I going ass to ass and matching shirts. Are these guys the future or are they stupid? The answer is yes. Could you imagine just being at some big convention, some crypto convention in Vegas or something?
00:37:37
Speaker
And people were like talking to us, we're like the headlining panel of this like convention. And they're like, so you guys are innovators, you're forward thinking, what inspired this? We thought it'd be funny. There's got to be a lot of like, there has to be at least one example of a large like a billionaire or like hundreds of millions of dollars who just made a business because he thought it was like a joke. Probably
00:38:06
Speaker
at least one of, if not all three, a Bitcoin like coin

Infomercial Nostalgia

00:38:10
Speaker
or a theory. Yeah. Or ShamWow. I feel like ShamWow. You remember ShamWow, guy? Yeah. You're going to be saying wow every time.
00:38:19
Speaker
Uh, I, you know, which one I thought about the other day that popped into my head, which like a Billy Mays product, Zorby's. I can't remember exactly what it was. It was Billy Mays, like Zorby's like, it's just him yelling Zorby's a lot. I Google Zorby's and what came up is Zorby's incontinence underwear. I think it's like, so you don't pee yourself.
00:38:49
Speaker
I don't think Billy. Yeah. Yeah, I don't. Are you sure it's that's the right name? Thousand percent. Zorby's ad Billy Mays. Zorby's Billy Mays.
00:39:04
Speaker
Oh, it's spelled differently. Okay. I don't know what I'm looking at. I see the thumbnail of sorbies and I'm confused. He's got like, I wish I could show this to you. I need to send you this picture. It's like Billy Mays and he's holding what looks like a towel.
00:39:22
Speaker
with like coke dripping through it, but then like a bunch of hot dogs. Oh, is is Orbeez like ShamWow, like a really. Also, also, I just got a text from my roommate Hunter and he was like, Zorbeez was in the dick down. So it's like that. It must have been in the like the dick down, which, by the way, listeners, if you guys haven't seen the dick downs, very worthwhile viewing. Yeah, they're fantastic. I'm a fan. I'm not even affiliated with the project.
00:39:50
Speaker
their roommate just started yelling about Zorb. And he offers input. That's like a sick roommate. He doesn't like, he's like, what the hell does this guy do? And he's like,
00:40:05
Speaker
Yeah, what an insane name though, like Zorby. I feel like Billy Mays was such like a fixture in our lives that we didn't think it was weird that a man was on TV yelling, Zorby's, you know? Dude, he was a pro. He was so good at what he did. He was also so high every time he was on. Yeah, I'm a lot of coke.
00:40:23
Speaker
Yeah, I think he was doing a lot of like, dude, it makes sense. Like in hindsight, there's like an insane commercial where like Billy Mays is like a giant like stomping through a city. And he's selling something. What's the product? It's so weird. What a weird. What a weird like thing that was. I can't
00:40:47
Speaker
remember what it was. Maybe it was big city slider. What was the big one that he was? ShamWow, I feel like. No, I don't think he did ShamWow. ShamWow was Vince. Do you remember Vince from ShamWow? He was like, he had like a really New York type voice. I think. No, I don't remember. It was the same guy who did Slap Chop, I think. Slap Chop, that's actually a good product. Oh, yo, dude.
00:41:12
Speaker
Oh my God. What? He looks like shit now. I feel like Slap Chop is a good product. Dude, I actually got Slap Chop in college and I did not like it at all. Let me tell you why. Why? So what would you chop with Slap Chop?
00:41:29
Speaker
Onions, right? Yeah, see, I would always chop the onions right with slap chop as you would do. And the onions always the there's like a big blade that has a bunch of like different angles on it. And the onions would always get like stuck in there and I couldn't get the onions out. And every time I was like, Oh, I remember the slap chop guy. I'm sorry. I just am looking it up. Yeah. What were you saying? No, my bad.
00:41:56
Speaker
I just don't like Slap Chop, that's pretty much the gist of it. But I have like, I remember there was this store in the mall that was like an as seen on TV store. And when I was younger, I don't know what it was, I was just like infatuated by the as seen on TV products. Yeah, I remember, I remember like if I was at a store and they had an as seen on TV section, I was like, whoa, flex seal.
00:42:20
Speaker
That's someone where they would like make the boat, right? Yeah, yeah. So they got like a screen door and they would cover it and flex seal and then it would like they would show him like in a way. But I always had this like weird like just the thought of like what if someone got flex seal and like sprayed it on your face? Do you think you're you like wouldn't be able to like it would just seal your face and you'd be like probably something. Yeah, dude, that'd be crazy. Imagine going out by flex seal.
00:42:48
Speaker
That would be a way to go out. That would be a hell of a way to go. At least he died doing what he loved. Do it to the flex seal guy, like on the boat. In the trailer for the Robert Pattinson Batman movie, there's that shot of the guy that the Riddler killed by duct taping his face covered where he couldn't breathe.
00:43:07
Speaker
It's like a dead body. It's the same kind of thing. That might be the worst way to die. Well, I feel like I prefer Flex Seal over duct tape because it would be like instant, you know? No, well, you'd still suffocate, but it would be like assuming the Flex Seal works as advertised and makes like an instant seal.
00:43:29
Speaker
But with the duct tape, you would have to like go through the whole process of like taping you up. You know what I mean? So there's more like anticipation. Yeah. Trying to get those breaths in would be horrible. Yeah. That like iconic duct tape smell would be just like in your mouth. Uh, going out that way would be brutal. Yeah. That's not what you want. But hey, what would you, how would you like, if you could choose your fate, what would you want? Uh,
00:43:57
Speaker
Here, I'll go first. I want to be blasted into the sun in that car that Elon Musk shot into space. I forgot he did that. Where is that car right now? You want to look it up? Let's see if the camera's still on. Yeah, where is it? Tesla. Elon Musk's space car. It looked so fake. Did it not?
00:44:15
Speaker
yeah you remember that and i remember his like excuse for it not being fake was like it wouldn't look that fake like we could make a more realistic fake that's honestly a good point it is a good point but i remember i was on like conspiracy subreddits and stuff and people were like can you believe this fucking guy like he thinks we're this stupid to do this
00:44:36
Speaker
That is honestly a great point though. If it were fake, it would look really real. Dude, that's pretty gangster. Dude, speaking of, did you see Elon and Grimes broke up?
00:44:48
Speaker
Yeah, I was so sad. We should try and like get Grimes to come on the pod and like really dissect Elon as a person. And spill the tea. Yeah. All right, girl, spill. Then she just talks the whole time. I'm trying. Oh, there's a website, whereisroadster.com. I don't know if it's currently
00:45:09
Speaker
I think the camera went out since. Yeah, but I guess there's still some sort of GPS coordinate. The current location is 153,593,700 miles away from Earth, moving away from Earth at a speed of 40,559 miles an hour.
00:45:33
Speaker
the car is towards the sun. No, away. The car is currently 231,350. That's lame. You should have launched it at the sun. I think he wanted to shoot it far into space. Yeah, but who would have been cooler if he shot it into the sun?
00:45:51
Speaker
It's gonna be it's gonna make its first Mars close approach in 11 months 19 days 17 hours 59 minutes and 35 seconds That is pretty cool. You have to admit that he don't know that was since the first Mars close approach It's still over 231 million miles away from Mars. So like What do you mean?
00:46:17
Speaker
Um, I don't know. I don't quite understand. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not, I don't think you're grasping this and I'm not grasping it either. It's over 231 million miles away from Mars. And I guess they're saying it, when it crossed the threshold, it crossed 11 months ago. It was deemed close approach. Like it's closer to Mars than it is to earth or something. Okay. I see. Maybe. I don't know. I'm kind of guessing though. Yeah. Who cares? But it's weird. It's hard to like picture.
00:46:45
Speaker
like 230 million miles in space is...
00:46:50
Speaker
not very much, but it's not far at all. It's so crazy. But you know what I always look up, or not always, but like every once in a while. Every day. Yeah, every day. You know the Voyager probes? You know what those are? Yeah. How they just like shot them straight out into space and they expected them to like run out of engine, like fuel and like transmission. Yeah, they're like past Pluto and like still sending radio signals back. It's crazy. That's so cool. Yeah, it's awesome.
00:47:18
Speaker
The space is sick, dude. I think space is really cool. Yeah. I wish the science wasn't as lost on me as it can be, but space is an abstract idea. It's so endlessly interesting. It's just insane how big it is. I remember I told you I read that Neil deGrasse Tyson book a little while ago, and I can't remember the exact number, but I think it was saying there's hundreds of billions of stars
00:47:48
Speaker
in a galaxy, and then hundreds of billions of galaxies. That's so wild. It might have been hundreds of millions, but I think it was hundreds of billions. I can't remember for sure. But either way, and the fact that each of those stars could have
00:48:02
Speaker
planets orbiting around them is so crazy. There's no way there's not life out there. What do you think alien life would be like? What do you think? Everything's on the blockchain, just everything. They drink water straight out of the blockchain. Me and a buddy of mine were doing a bit a while back. If aliens came down to Earth,
00:48:24
Speaker
And they were like, they were like, take us to your leader. And then they, and then they like walk off their ship. And then Joe Biden walks up with like an ice cream cone. And then they start laughing and they're like, huh, you think that's your leader? Take us to the short bald man with tattoos. And it's like Joe Rogan. Like Joe Rogan's podcast is the only thing that made it to them in space. And they were like, we also had like a bit in that same vein where they came down and they like had the same God.

Alien Beliefs and Sci-Fi Literature Discussion

00:48:54
Speaker
like they had like the same like religious beliefs they were like came as like missionaries and like they were like bearing crosses and stuff that would be awesome could you imagine they have like the exact same religion like everywhere they were like oh he's already been here
00:49:24
Speaker
Yeah, they go to a Planned Parenthood and they see people protesting. They're like, good job. Amen. That would be crazy. This is so funny. That's what I wonder if there will ever be.
00:49:43
Speaker
any sort of interaction with aliens. What's your thought on whether or not we've come to that? I very much want to be alive to witness it. I don't know if I will, but they have kind of confirmed, they confirmed aliens twice during COVID, pretty much, more or less. They confirmed UFOs.
00:50:02
Speaker
So it could have been like a foreign government that just had super technology that we didn't know about. Let me have this. I'm just kidding. I'm playing devil's advocate. I know. I still want it to be though.
00:50:19
Speaker
to see it so bad. Yeah, because I feel like at this point, we're good. Like, assuming there are aliens, right, that have known about us, if they've known about us for a while, like, and they were deciding whether or not they were just going to exterminate the human race, like enslave us or something.
00:50:37
Speaker
I think they would have done it by now, don't you? Yeah. And same buddy I was doing that other bit with, we were doing another bit one time about aliens. Like what if like we encountered aliens and like from their society, it's just like they're monitoring the earth is like the bitch work of like their society. Like they've been assigned earth and they're like,
00:51:02
Speaker
We have to do earth is our job really like I get no respect in this company. They're making me go to fucking earth And then like the managers like look we all had to do earth at some point in time You got to put in the work and do well there then you could go to more interesting and important places, you know Or it's like essentially like the space version of like a drunk driver like fucked up and it's like Oh, they're gonna fucking kill me, you know
00:51:34
Speaker
Do you remember the beginning of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I think you said you saw the movie. Didn't you see the movie? Do you want me to spoil the first, it's in the first chapter of the book. What are your thoughts? Is it a spoiler? Then no. Because you mean Kelly are about to read the book. I don't want anything spoiled for me. Okay. Well, if you know the beginning of the book, I'm referencing that right now.
00:52:00
Speaker
That was an awesome like little bit of the podcast. Yeah, that was wild. Do you want to wrap up?
00:52:09
Speaker
Yeah, I'm good. It's Sunday night, baby. You guys probably won't hear this until Tuesday, I think. We need to have a proper spacing between the episodes, I think, right? I agree. Let's raise this to the community and listeners. What day is the best day to release a podcast on? What day do you think is the best day to get a new podcast? And if we can, we'll accommodate if we get a consensus.
00:52:35
Speaker
Yep, I'm down. So we posed that question to you. I believe we posed a couple other questions to you. So please get back to us on those. I feel like we pose questions every episode and have never gotten an answer. Yeah. If you actually I have to say Kyle did respond to my question on what was it? Damn, Kyle, when you will make Facebook again, he texted me and gave me an answer.
00:53:03
Speaker
So by default, he wins the competition, I think. What was his answer? I'm not going to tell you. Was it a short period of time or a long period of time? I can't say. I can't say. I can't do that to Kyle. Kyle, fuck you. Oh, that dude. Come on. I'm just kidding. Kyle's the shit. Kyle, you're that boy. All right. We'll see you guys next week. Au revoir.
00:53:35
Speaker
Tuck sauce. Tuck sauce. Tuck sauce. Tuck sauce. Tuck sauce. Tuck sauce. Tuck sauce.
