A
From the age of Big Brother. If they want to get you, they'll get you. DNSA specifically targets the communications of everyone they're collecting. Your communications.
- [00:42]
Long last.
- [00:45]
We can begin.
- [01:15]
You and I.
- [01:17]
We are going to do such beautiful things together, William.
- [01:25]
Such beautiful finesse.
- [01:41]
Ah.
- [01:43]
Okay, so before you say anything.
- [01:46]
B
Jack, can I say this? When Jack brought this up originally and tweeted about this, I thought he was being over dramatic. And I was like, this is like, this seems like is way over dramatized. Not that Jack gets. Gets overly dramatic often, but sometimes on the pop stuff can happen. And so I'm like, I'm gonna watch. Sit down and watch this. And I watched it and I was actually, I thought that Jack didn't go hard enough on this.
- [02:13]
A
Well, so let's, let's, let's explain what we're talking about first. So for people who might be just be listening also. Hi. Or people who, you know, don't have no idea what we're talking about. Like Blake, for example. So this season five of the TV show Netflix show Stranger Things has just come out. This is Netflix number one show. It is currently the Netflix's number one show WorldW. It's been a massive cultural phenomenon. The original season was all about 80s nostalgia. That's what made it so big in the first place. You hear the synth music. It's kids riding around on bikes. So it's got a lot of allusions back to old 1980s movies and growing up like that. And so similar to what Andrew was just saying about how youth brands and youth bands could have a second life. It's sort of like that same thing where it's. This is a way for a lot of Gen Xers and elder millennials, gen wires able to sort of share the 80s with their kids. And they've gone and they've been making the show gayer and gayer as the seasons go on. And in this scene, this is the. So this is a flashback, what you're actually watching back to season one. So what you're seeing here is them reestablishing something or what they'd say, revealing something that actually happened in season one that they're only showing you now for the first time. And I watched this scene and you're seeing the big bad right there of the whole series. We'll call. Call him Gay Darth Vader. And what Gay Darth Vader is doing, also known as Vecna, is he is metaphorically, you know, it looks like he is physically violating this young boy. We'll Call him gay Luke Skywalker with his tentacle. And he is shoving his tentacle down gay Luke Skywalker's mouth and.
- [04:02]
Shooting his dark effluvia down the boy's throat. The boy's eyes roll backwards. They, you know, they, you know, they roll back in his head. He starts gagging. And at which point gay Darth Vader then starts stroking the boy's face and his sort of neck also. His head also goes back in a form of pleasure. And to me, I watched this. This was actually released prior to the season itself. And I said, guys, this is, this is, you know, very clearly representative of a gay rape scene. And that's crazy that nobody is calling out Netflix for this. Number one for, for filming and putting something like this in again. This is their, this is their keystone show. This is their, you know, tent poll show. This is their blockbuster. People have been waiting for this for four years, for this very episode to come out. And that's the first thing you see. And what was crazy is that people then came back to me and said, oh, that's not what it is, Jack. You're just making a big deal of it. To Tyler's point. No, no, that's really, really what it's representative of.
- [05:15]
B
Oh, it was like, it was more horrifying than I, I realized. And I, I sat down. It's like right at the beginning, it's like they, like, they wanted this to be the lead off. And it's super. Everything about. It's weird. Like, I was talking about it with my wife while we were watching. We're like. I was like, oh, this is the thing Jack was talking about. She's like, what is it? I'm like, it's like something, something gay happens at the beginning. And she's like, what are you talking about? And we watched it and I was like, there was. We went through it. There's probably 50 different ways they could have done this, like, so easily. It's like they. This was. This is like, this has to be intentional. Like, all this is like, it's so clearly weirdly intentional. And even, like, the scripting of it. Super, like none of it's necessary. It has nothing to do plot wise. Like, there's no way that this actually is applicable to, like, the story in any kind of way other than it just being, like, super weird.
- [06:07]
C
So wait, Jack, did you say, did you describe it? You said it was text. A textbook gay rape scene.
- [06:15]
A
Representative, like, representative of pedophile, you know, behavior. And by the way, so there was a. Actually a Professor from the University of Chicago sort of responded to my. I wrote an op ed about this over the Thanksgiving break and sort of responded to my piece and said, and said, yes, that's true. However, if you watch the rest and the rest of the season kind of gets into this where this character, his name is Vecna, but I call him Gay Darth Vader, where Gaydarth Vader is then targeting other children, but he does so in a guise called Mr. Whatsit. And her point was, well, perhaps you could read it as a warning of grooming behavior. And while that's all well and good, I just think this scene itself in a TV series which has been marketed very largely towards children is just inappropriate.
- [07:07]
B
It's just, it's so weird. I mean everything, everything is very graphic.
- [07:11]
D
It's very graphic. And you know, you know, the fact that we have to blur it out for. I mean, here's what I would say, Jack, to those people that were hating on you. It's like, who, who any age over like 15 wouldn't see this imagery and be like, that looks a little phallic. Like you would see that. You could not see that by looking at that image and then him petting the kid's head. And like, I'm kind of with you. It's with you, Tyler. Like, it's worse than I imagine. And I get that like people are going to defend it as, as some sort of like make believe. But to your point, I think a lot of families watch this show. Am I wrong, Jack? I only watched season one.
- [07:51]
A
A lot of, A lot of families watch the show.
- [07:53]
B
Yes, a lot of family watch together, like especially with like teenagers and stuff like that. And like, like a little bit like my kids are kind of in the perfect my. My two older kids are kind of in the perfect my. Though I, I feel like 9, 10, 11, 12 year olds are like, this is kind of like a really cool show to like that age group because it's just, it's, it's not really scary, but it's scary enough and it's, you know, it's just kind of an interesting, you know, like Jack said, we've been.
- [08:18]
C
Asked, we've been asked. People are asking us to cut the video out because it's too disturbing to them. So I guess they're, they're definitely agreeing with Jackson.
- [08:25]
A
You can just show us, you can just show us still. But actually what, what show? Which is separately from the video, which. And by the way, that's my entire point because the people who were like Hating on me. And this, this went viral. This we got written up in international, you know, media over this. And I had all these these, I call them the Stranger Simps. All the Stranger Sims were coming at me saying, oh no, it's just, you know, it's just like the scene in Alien. Don't you understand? They're, they're just doing a bit from Alien. I said, well, you understand that the movie Alien is meant to represent male rape, but it's an R rated movie. Alien is an R rated movie. And, and the, they're called the face huggers in Alien are meant to represent male rape because the, it's, it's sort of this, you know, creature that, that grabs onto your face, injects. It injects its, you know, spur sperm, spore, whatever into your body. Then they become pregnant and then the pregnancy kills you. So it was written and the writers of the, of the original Alien movie have come out and said this, that that's exactly what they intended. They were pro abortion and they thought that if they into the film that it would make men perhaps more open to being pro choice if they understood what it was like to be raped and then get pregnant again. Go look at the actual writers of Alien. That's what they said. Like, I'm not making this up. So for people saying, oh, it's just like the Alien scene. Yeah, I know, I understand what an homage is. That's what they're doing. But what I do want to also point out though is, and let's talk about some of the B roll here, guys. Throw up. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Throw up. Just some of this B roll. 3, 4, 3 34. Just throw up. 334 is B roll while we're talking because, and, and some of this other stuff because you can see if in 334 and you know, 339, 340 to scroll through those because there are numerous tie ins to children's action figures, children's Happy meals, all children, children's toys, where they are clearly marketing this show towards children.
- [10:29]
C
I think that last one, that was just the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
- [10:33]
D
No, it's like a crossover.
- [10:35]
A
Okay, it's like a crossover.
- [10:38]
D
Yeah, no, but, but you know, I think the point is because I, I only watched season one, so I, I'm a little behind on Stranger Things. I thought it was cool. Love the synth music, retro 80s, but it was like the kids were really, really young. It kind of had this like, it was like a kids you were watching the world through these kids eyes and being terrified at this stranger thing that was kind of creeping into their reality. But. And I, again, I could be misremembering, but it seemed completely appropriate for like a little, slightly older children to watch some.
- [11:09]
A
There was some, like, violence, but, you know, that's, that's, that's probably as much.
- [11:12]
D
As season one was some adult themes, but it was like it was basically you're following around these kids and their lived experience right around as they go.
- [11:21]
A
But Andrew, But Andrew, the point is, is that this scene is meant, you know, it's a flashback to season one. So it's almost like the writer. So it's like Netflix came in, basically woke Flix, came in and was like, no, season one was too family friendly. So we want you to watch season one knowing that this is what actually happened right before season one. Right. So the kid gets. Or I guess during, because the kid gets Will. This is the name of his character who's now gay Luke Skywalker. He goes miss. And throughout all of season one, they're trying to find Will. Well, now we found out this is what was happening to Will. He was being raped by gay Darth Vader the entire time.
- [12:02]
B
Yeah, it ruins it. It like makes.
- [12:05]
A
It totally ruins it.
- [12:06]
B
It ruins everything. They. They ruined it. Is this, is this worse? Is the first five seconds of this season of Stranger Things worse than the last episode of. What do you call on HBO that ruined the Sopranos? No, the Game of Thrones.
- [12:28]
C
Well, I mean, what. What Game Thrones wasn't.
- [12:31]
B
So the thing is worse, the last five minutes of the last episode, Game of Thrones or the first five minutes of this Stranger.
- [12:38]
C
The thing about Game of Thrones is the badness of it was like the last five seasons of it, essentially.
- [12:44]
D
No, really, the last three seasons, but two or three seasons.
- [12:47]
A
Well, so this, this for me, for me, if people are like, why is Jack commenting on this stuff all of a sudden? It's kind of like this is sort of return to form for me because my original, you know, Twitter account and I had a blog going back in like 2012 through 2016 was all about ripping on Game of Thrones. I. I did a blog called the Angry Got Fan. And so that, that was our focus the entire time was basically attacking HBO for what they were doing with game. So this is a little bit return to form because now I'm the angry Stranger Things fan, I guess. Way before a critical drinker, by the way. Way before a critical drinker. Although I love that guy. I think He's. I think he's phenomenal at what he does.
- [13:29]
D
So. So Jack, you.
- [13:31]
B
You.
- [13:31]
D
You mentioned that this is kind of like pedophilia grooming. Like, this is, you know, this is what some people are observing. This is as a warning. But it's like it occurs to me that the entire show is now in hindsight being 2020 is just one giant grooming exercise because you into a show.
- [13:48]
C
Yes, I've never show. Because Stranger Things just clearly seems to be. I said it was a sissy hypno program to turn you gay. And I kind of suspect all three.
- [13:58]
D
Of you guys, your instincts were proven right.
- [14:00]
A
Well, so I am sure I have never watched. No. Blake. Blake. I will unfortunately and begrudgingly admit that Blake was probably right about this. But there is. Do we have any of the. Okay, no, we don't have it here in these clips. There's a clip now in. So this is what's crazy, right? This is what they set it up with. There's a new clip in the very last episode of this current. The current episode that have been released where basically Will the. The. The gay Luke Skywalker. And this is why I call him Gay Luke Skywalker, because now he then talks to his lesbian friend Robin Rockin Robin, and she tells him that it's okay to be gay and you should have embrace your gayness. Do we do it?
- [14:44]
D
We have it.
- [14:45]
A
Okay, I see it now. 334. Sorry, guys. 3, 3, 4.
- [14:49]
E
She just looked perfect. So God, perfect. And it was right then and there that I knew she was the one that with Tammy, I would finally be able to be myself, you know, all of myself. Because there was always this part of me that kind of scared me, you know, But I thought that if Tammy loved me, all of me, you know, I wouldn't be so scared anymore. And then he showed up. Steve the Hair Harrington.
- [15:18]
A
Oh, God.
- [15:19]
E
You probably can guess the rest. And that's when it hit me. It was never about. Don't have Dan. It was always just about me. I was looking for answers in somebody else.
- [15:32]
A
But.
- [15:34]
E
I had all the answers. Just needed to stop being so God scared.
- [15:42]
C
Again. That music you heard in the background was not synth wave. It was the undulations of the sissy hypno burrowing into your brain. You guys just. You gave into it for four.
- [15:52]
A
Blake is right. Blake is totally right. So. So what happens, right, What I was referring to is. And I see what's going on right after that. Will has this sequence where he decides to embrace himself and then he is able to exhibit, you know, basically, like, force, like powers the same way that Darth Vader does. So gay Darth Vader and gay Luke Skywalker both have these force powers now and are able to use them to fight each other.
- [16:20]
D
Hold on.
- [16:20]
C
Well, I guess. Did you say gay Darth Vader would kind of use the Force on him, if you get what I mean.
- [16:27]
A
Oh, man.
- [16:28]
D
Well.
- [16:28]
A
Oh, no.
- [16:31]
D
Yeah, that's dirty. That's very dirty. So. But what you said is interesting, Jack. You said that you said it as they have, because she said it in that clip where I just had to embrace me. So you. And you were saying Will had to embrace himself and he gets these powers. But, like, isn't that just some sort of, like, subliminal. Subliminal license to be entirely narcissistic? To just be completely obsessed with self. To worship self, to. Yeah, that's okay. I'm just making sure that, like, it's that on the nose.
- [17:03]
A
No, it's. It's that on the nose. The entire thing. And so he. He gives in. And they've been playing and. Well, and I will tell you, by the way, that the. And this is. So the full season hasn't been released. So the sequence that they specifically mentioned, not just giving in to self, but it shows him growing up with another boy. And as they're very young. So this idea that they're trying to imply is that he's been romantically sexually attracted to his best friend all along. And there's a theory that a lot of people have been talking about. Producer Foz, you know, totally agrees, by the way. You should definitely get him on this episode where, you know, it. It almost seems like they're playing it out that he and the best friend boy are going to kiss or are going to have some kind of relationship or something like that. As if. So not only are they going back and recasting season one, it's like they're going back and recasting the entire show to be about child abuse. This weird pedophilic scene with gay Darth Vader, and now just about embracing gayness. So it really goes back to, like, what a lot of people have been warning about Netflix and that movie cuties and a lot of things that Netflix does to just take stuff and then woke a fi the heck out of it.
- [18:27]
C
Are we gonna get a scene, you think, in the season finale where maybe the two boys will make out with each other and then they'll go, like, maybe someday this racist country will have a first black president and he could make gay marriage legal.
- [18:41]
A
Yeah, literally.
- [18:42]
C
He'll be like, that's literally gay marriage. That doesn't make sense. And they'll say, like, we can make it make sense. Yes, we can. And then it will fade out, literally. The Obama Hope poster, no credits.
- [18:55]
A
Yeah. They'll meet another boy who comes in to help them in the final battle, right? And they're like, what's your name? I go by Barry.
- [19:03]
C
But, yeah, yeah, he's Barry.
- [19:07]
From Hawaii.
- [19:08]
A
I go by Barry. I see a student from Hawaii. Right.
- [19:11]
D
The. You know, it's so. But Jack, I just started belabor the point. But are they saying that homosexuality is just self narcissism? So.
- [19:23]
A
I don't think so, because I don't think they're that self aware. I think they're. I think the general message is that being homosexual is good, that you should follow your heart, do whatever you feel like. Your impulses are all that matters. Your urges are all that matters. Do whatever feels right. And you be you. And this. You know, if you watch a lot of Netflix, we know that Netflix has a huge LGBTQ section. We know that they inject these storylines into property after property over and over again. And I think it's. I don't. I don't think it's. I don't think they're trying to be that on the nose. I think they literally think it's good writing, which it's not, obviously. What I do find interesting, though, is I don't know if there might be in Blake. You might. You know, I'd like to get your take on this. It almost feels a little subversive too, because again, they're showing that the child who was the first one to be abused by Vecna then later goes on to become gay. So it's like, what. What. What mean? What. What mean Netflix. So it's like. It's like, is there some guy who's, like, in the background, like, who's actually, like, closetly, you know, closetly, like conservative, who's like, what if we. What if we had Vecna abuse him? And everyone just kind of went along with it, but he actually is, like, putting a subliminal message inside the. You know, underneath that. That overt message, like a Straussian kind of thing.
- [20:57]
C
Maybe?
- [20:57]
D
I got.
- [20:57]
C
I just think it's all.
- [20:59]
D
That's a glass half full. That's a glass half full take on it. After your op Ed, you might be. Well, yeah.
- [21:08]
The very end of.
- [21:08]
A
I say it in the very end of my op ed, like, or maybe Is there like an extra little, extra little something going on there? A little.
- [21:16]
D
Because what. I. I don't know that we have stats on this that are provable. Maybe we do. I should look them up. But like do we have stats on, you know, if the percentage of people that are, that are, that are self described, like they were abused as a child, that then.
- [21:30]
A
So in the op ed, I did research for this. I did, I did look this up and there was a Vanderbilt study from 2022 that said that found that hetero or excuse me, homosexual adults reported instances of child abuse at a three to four times higher rate than the heterosexual population. Wow.
- [21:50]
D
Yeah, that's. Well, maybe you're right then. Maybe there is some weird tie in. Maybe maybe the, the writers, some writer in the writers room looked up the same stat that you, you just referenced in your op ed. One could.
- [22:02]
A
And so they're trying to like kind of like sneak it in which. Which obvious because obviously it's totally at odds with everything that the characters are saying. You know, embrace yourself, just be yourself, whatever, whatever. But also, you know, it's like it's kind of contradictory because we don't see him, you know, being like this before the, the scene. We only see it after Faz.
- [22:25]
D
Faz just drops something in the chat that convinced me that this is really just like a. The whole like stranger things is five seasons or whatever is just like a gay fifth. Sixth sense. Because in 335 we have a clip. Maya Hawk says she wouldn't exist if her parents hadn't aborted her sibling like that. I mean this is, this is dark.335.
- [22:46]
B
This is really dark.
- [22:47]
E
I went with this really beautiful essay about her abortion that she got when she was really young and about how if she hadn't have had it, she wouldn't have to become the person that she'd become and I wouldn't exist. And how both of my parents lives would have been totally derailed and she hadn't had access to safe and legal health care. Fundamental health care. And I, of course, like wealthy people will always be able to get abortions. But so many people because of this ruling this like week will not only not be able to pursue their dreams, but actually lose their lives and be unsafe.
- [23:22]
C
Was she seated on that in like a dark. She seated cross legged on. I didn't miss that, but I think.
- [23:27]
D
She had her leg under her.
- [23:28]
C
Yeah, that's super odd.
- [23:30]
D
But that reminds me of that Pramala Jayapal tweet where she was like, abortion is health. Care, full stop. And then she just got ratioed into oblivion.
- [23:40]
C
A really dark thing. A lot of people on the abortion topic, what's clear is a very common normie sentiment on abortion is you're not, you're, you're not killing a separate human being. It's just, I guess, you know, we have DND and stranger things. I've heard Dungeons and Dragons, they think it's just if you get an abortion and then have a kid later, you just, you rerolled their stats. You, you just, you rolled the dice for a different kid. The kid, same kid came back. They're just different.
- [24:07]
B
Yeah, that's the wishful thinking from the.
- [24:11]
C
Like, they really only killed someone. Maybe you feel like you never have a kid at all, but otherwise. Yeah, you're just rerolling their stats.
- [24:18]
A
No, this is something where it. And, and by the way, so there's another angle to all this as well. Do you guys know about the Warner Brothers deal?
- [24:27]
C
Haven't heard about that.
- [24:28]
A
Know what, you guys, Andrew, have you heard of this? All the, the, the big acquisition that's going on?
- [24:34]
D
Oh, yeah. Well, something about it, yeah, vaguely. Yeah.
- [24:38]
A
So, so Warner Brothers Discovery is currently up for sale. And what's really interesting is that Warner Brothers Discovery is also the parent company of things like cnn, hbo, like all this stuff, right? And so one of the top bidders for this is Netflix. So they're coming in with like this Netflix, which is known for being one of the wokest, you know, organizations on the planet. One of the wokest things that they have is, you know, this is where.
- [25:13]
You know, where all of every, pretty much every show they get, they're either going to put something woke in there, they're going to make a lot of children's content, including gay characters, including LGBT characters. There was one, it was like a sort of about a couple I've read. It was a couple of months ago where it was like just two nights and they just started being gay all of a sudden for no reason. This is where one of the, this is where, of course, cuties came out, which was just a, a straight up pro pedophilia movie based in France. And I believe, if I remember correctly, there was a writer. What was that show? Paranormal Park, I think where they had trans characters. And I think the creator of it was actually attacking Charlie, like making fun of Charlie after he was killed. Was another Netflix show. I forget exactly what he said, but it was, I remember that being another Netflix show with a trans character. And so imagine if you will, right? How we would have to respond if Netflix all of a sudden got in charge of, like, the Looney Tunes at Warner Brothers. Got in charge of, like, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. And also, by the way, WB also owns, like, what else? All of the DC superheroes. So, like, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, who I believe they already made gay in. In Warner Brothers, the Flash, et cetera.
- [26:38]
C
I'm not sold on this making difference. I mean, we already have an example of beloved characters getting taken over by a turbo gay company, and it's called the Disney Corporation. They've made a lot of stuff really.
- [26:50]
D
Gay they didn't get too.
- [26:52]
A
But you're just proving my point, though, that if Netflix gets this, you know, it takes over.
- [26:58]
C
My guess is more like, he's big gay. I just don't think we're gonna see a lot of gay Bugs Bunny, because when was the last time you saw anything related to Bugs Bunny? I guess they made a new.
- [27:08]
A
Kids watch Bugs Bunny. My kids watch Bugs Bunny every day. Like, every single day. They love it.
- [27:13]
C
Oh, yeah. Are they making new Looney Tunes, or do we just have the old Looney Tunes?
- [27:18]
A
They are making new ones.
- [27:18]
B
There's new ones? Yeah. There's new ones. There's new ladies.
- [27:20]
C
All right.
- [27:21]
A
There's a whole new. There's a whole new show where it's like. It's got, like, an overarching plot, basically. You know, where. Where they. You know, the characters kind of the storylines, like, flowing.
- [27:31]
C
We have epic arcs about Bugs Bunny.
- [27:35]
A
The epicus.
- [27:36]
C
Bugs Bunny's going on a. Buildings Roman built. Bugs Bunny is following the hero.
- [27:41]
A
The. The. So the other angle of this, there's two other companies right now that I think are in a bidding war over. Over Warner Brothers. And so that's. I'm just saying, like, if Netflix gets in, like, I. I'm coming for it. Like, this is insane. This is completely insane. And I can't imagine how you do this. The other two companies are Comcast, which, honestly, I'm obviously not a huge fan of, since they run. Excuse me now. And then Paramount, which is interesting because Paramount, of course, yeah, they have Paramount plus, and they have Yellowstone, which of course, I've been quite outspoken on, but they did also just, you know, take over CBS News. They gave that to Barry Weiss. So it. You know, it seems like they're trying to at least do something to differentiate themselves there.

C
Jack, you're gonna love.
- [28:28]
A
This would be insane. You're gonna love this.
- [28:31]
B
They are, Jack. It's that. But they're. They're Quietly moving to the right over. Over there with CBS.
- [28:37]
C
Guys, we got $5 dono from Zeus Petals. You're gonna like this. You're gonna like this. Zuzu's pedals points out Netflix got a lot gayer when Obama got on the board, presumably right after saving those kids in Indiana at the end of season five of Stranger Things. I canceled Netflix three months ago, and so should you or.
- [28:59]
A
That's such a good point. I. You're right. I totally for it totally slipped my mind as we were having the conversation that Obama is. I don't know if he's on the board specifically, but they have a major, major deal between Barack Michelle Obama. I thought he was in the board.
- [29:15]
C
Netflix, he definitely got a huge contract to make those documentaries that I was looking up.
- [29:21]
A
No, it's documentaries and feature films. They did the whole thing with Julia Roberts about, like. Like the. It was like what was like an energy wave kind of thing, like, crashes and, you know, everyone loses power.
- [29:32]
D
It's like the end of the world one.
- [29:34]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [29:34]
C
Susan Rice got on the board of Netflix, Right?
- [29:38]
A
Well, okay, so basically Obama then, like Susan Rice, who's Obama?
- [29:41]
C
The appendix.
- [29:42]
A
So that's what it was. Susan Rice gets on the board and then sudden. But the Obamas. The Obamas are clearly deeply in bed with it. So how do they think we're going to react if the Obamas then take like. Like, imagine if the Obamas have a direct line to controlling CNN and controlling, like, everything the WB does. It's like, no, that's. I would go to war over that. I would 100% go to war over that.
- [30:08]
D
It's. Leave the world behind. That was.
- [30:10]
A
Yeah, that was the world behind. That's it.
- [30:12]
C
Yeah, he made that.
- [30:13]
D
And by the way. By the way, everybody, I remember all those conspiracy theories about how, you know, what did they know? Did they know something was going to. Going to happen? And. And then there was the scene where all the Teslas, which people thought was like an intentional dig at Elon Musk, because all the Teslas get taken over by some mysterious power or force or alien beings, and they just start crashing all these Teslas.
- [30:41]
A
I'm telling you, this is. This is absolutely. The Obamas are trying to take over media. They are trying to take over a media empire. They've already done it with Netflix, which, by the way, I'd love, because I think Stranger Things started, like, almost 10 years ago. So that was before the Obama partnership. So before Susan Rice was on the board, before they had the Obama partnership, he was still he was still president when it started or certainly when they were making the show. But now right now they're required to do all this extra stuff. So they even have to go back to season one and make it all gay. And in fact, actually, one thing that's really interesting, it just occurred to me as well, well, they've also caught Netflix stealth editing Stranger Things where they will. Because it's a streaming service, right. So you don't have DVDs of it. So they'll go back and they've actually like slightly edited certain characters and certain storylines as the show's going. So if you go back and watch season one right now. Yeah, yeah. There was a whole scene where one character was kind of like a peeping Tom of the character Jonathan was peeping on Nancy. And they like basically like re edited the whole sequence so that he was just sort of like outside, but didn't mean to be looking in or something. So when he had. There's the guy with the, the shutter camera. And so they re edited. So if you go back in season one and look at it now to do a rewatch, it's like, it's like a slightly different, you know, a slightly different narrative.
- [32:08]
B
Wow.
- [32:09]
D
So, Jack, that's crazy. On a scale 1 to 10, how big is this story worldwide?
- [32:14]
A
I mean, it's the number one show in the world right now. Is the number one show. Don't. And don't think for a second that lots of kids are not watching it, because they are. And it's something honestly where.
- [32:28]
People say, like, oh, why do you care? Just don't watch. It's like, no, guys, we actually do have to pay attention to how the masses are being propagandized. And that's exactly what's going on here.
- [32:37]
D
Oh, I totally agree.
- [32:37]
A
The issue. Yeah, you know, the issue that I would also. This is why we talk about the super bowl so much and why we're doing this. The, the put the, the. The sporting event halftime show later, you know, later next year.
- [32:50]
D
Yay sports and.
- [32:52]
A
Yay sports. And.
- [32:55]
And I would also add, you know, I'd also add that, you know, you, you have to know what you're up against because millions of people who make decisions in, in politics, who make decisions in media, who then go on to just, just, just exist in the world, they are now all going to have this mental model. This will be the mental model that they are given. This is where most people get their stories from. That's where they get their beliefs from. It's where they get their history from. It's from watching movies. There's no more powerful instrument in the entire world, movies, TV shows, streaming, etc, that people get this from than here. And that's why I call it out. That's why whether it's Game of Thrones 10 years ago or, gosh, almost 14 years ago, when I started to Netflix, now to Star wars, back when they were doing that and they were making everything crazy, Disney got really mad at me over the Star wars thing. Actually, Rian Johnson as well, who was the writer of the second Disney Star wars movie. Because I pointed out that in the Disney Star wars films, all the heroes were this diverse band of rebels and all of the villains were white men. Every single one was a white man. And, and all of the heroes were not. And, and, and of the heroes who were white men or, or the one straight white woman, they were all killed one by one from the old movies. Just saying. Just saying. I'm noticing things. I'm just noticing a few things here.
- [34:20]
D
You're just noticing the crime of noticing. Jack, why don't you take us home? It's been a fun episode.
- [34:26]
A
Thanks so much. Guys, pay attention. What's going on? Don't be a stranger. Simp. And. And ladies and gentlemen, as always, go out there and commit more thought crime.
