Transcript

[Sean]

Obviously, we're ready, Sean.

[Born]

Yo, Born. I was ready this morning, man. You should have called me at 6:30. I woke up being like, I'm ready to fucking podcast.

[Sean]

All I thought about today was podcasting.

[Born]

Can't get enough.

[Sean]

As soon as that red light comes on, we're on and we're here to talk. Cancel culture.

[Born]

I mean, I'm active right now. I'm ready to punch over.

[Sean]

Are you ready to do. Yeah, I'm ready to throw the ones.

[Born]

Ready to throw the ones.

[Sean]

I'll throw. I'll throw one. Done.

[Born]

I can't stop watching videos about that white rapper who keeps saying the N word. He's like, I'm ready to punch on it. He's ready to punch over it. Someone's even look. If even thinks someone's looking at him sideways, he's like, I'm ready to punch about it.

[Sean]

I think that's the only way.

[Born]

Giant, dude. He's a giant man.

[Sean]

Some people seem to get away with saying the N word. There's certain guys out there, like the Puerto Ricans.

[Born]

Yeah, there's dirty white.

[Sean]

They might punch over this.

[Born]

They could punch over it. But there are. So I've met a couple dirty white boys who were just like, casually. Not like. Like they just casually drop the N word in conversation. I'd just be kind of like, yeah.

[Sean]

It kind of takes you out of the conversation a little.

[Born]

A little bit. It's a real. It's a real delineator where you're like, yeah, they're, like, sussing me out. They're like, I think I could. Yeah, it was kind of like one of those things where, like, yeah, I'm not really about this life you guys are living.

[Sean]

Typically, any. Any. Any non African American, saying the N word is sussing you out when they say it.

[Born]

I think so.

[Sean]

I mean, they say it could be your uncle in the car, and he says, it's your lawyer.

[Born]

See, it's Skull and Bones, Uncle.

[Sean]

I'm not very comfortable with this.

[Born]

You should.

[Sean]

Yeah, it's a tough spot when someone else says the N word. Yeah.

[Born]

But yeah, I mean, he. I mean, the rat. His name's Jin Lee, by the way. That's his rapper. That's his rap. Yes, Jin Lee. And he's just like. The problem was he stopped saying it because he, like, started getting some success. And he had, like, people, like managers being like, you gotta stop saying the N word.

[Sean]

That'll happen.

[Born]

He had managers like, yo, you gotta stop. But he said his music was his. It was ass. Because he was like, I just, it threw off my whole thing. If you, especially if you're rapping using the nword and you take it away, that's. It's tough.

[Sean]

It's a key component to hip hop.

[Born]

It's. I mean it's definitely useful.

[Sean]

Yeah. It's a bedrock.

[Born]

But yeah. So then he came back after the. Wasn't working. He goes, I want to do it. They're like, no, no, no, no, don't do it. I'm going to do it again.

[Sean]

Now he's.

[Born]

He's back on his bullshit.

[Sean]

Papa John's will follow the same route.

[Born]

Go back on their.

[Sean]

He's just like, when pizza sales are down, dude, it ain't right. I got to go back to how I used to talk.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

John just has to be gen. John is pretty genuine.

[Born]

He is.

[Sean]

Doesn't it still live at a castle in Kentucky, dude? I obviously say in the N word he lives in a castle.

[Born]

I mean that's got to be crazy. In a castle in Kentucky with like a goblet. Just thinking about the time he said the N word. I mean imagine though, because a lot of business heads are like really stoked on cursing. That's like a high level.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

CEO thing because they're bad at it. I don't give a fuck, guys.

[Sean]

Oh.

[Born]

He was probably like, I'm about to take this to the next level.

[Sean]

It works though, if you, if you curse. Yeah. If your boss swears. Everyone's like, dude, my boss is so cool.

[Born]

Oh yeah.

[Sean]

He says like. And in the meetings, in the morning, he says at work, dude, it's so badass. It's like Wolf of Wall street in there. It's so cool.

[Born]

We were at a happy hour when he called her one co worker.

[Sean]

Wow. Wow.

[Born]

It was so awesome. It was so awesome.

[Sean]

He called the wages. It was so sick.

[Born]

That happens when you're in an office. You're like in school forever, essentially.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

Like you can't say bad words.

[Sean]

No bad words.

[Born]

You can't say anything suggestive. It's like you're in school for too.

[Sean]

Long, they come looking for you. Gotta sign out for the bathroom. I was taking liberties with those dumps, bro. I was taking hour long dumps.

[Born]

Oh yeah.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

I mean I've totally faked them.

[Sean]

Oh yeah. I would just go. I would go read my Kindle. Just sit up there and read.

[Born]

Taking a fake dump at work and just knowing you've like crushed. Clipped off 15 minutes.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

You were an hour, hour, hours.

[Sean]

I was when I was working at that factory. I would just sleep.

[Born]

Yeah, that's kind of nice.

[Sean]

I would just go hide in the locker room and sleep.

[Born]

It's the best.

[Sean]

They hated me for it.

[Born]

I always get so scared to sleep at work. I've tried it. I did in an office. There was one guy who wouldn't come in on a certain day and I would go to his like office. It was all like dark, there's no lights on. I would just lay in the corner and try to see.

[Sean]

Rules though.

[Born]

But I'd be so like, oh, yeah. So Jack, caught. Yeah, I was worried about getting caught sleeping at work. If you can somehow pull it off. I mean, it's the only.

[Sean]

The factory was easy to sleep at cuz it was. The hours were. Yeah, I was literally falling asleep.

[Born]

Night shift is like people. It's kind of accepted. Yeah. It's kind of acceptable to be like, dude, I'm gonna go take an hour long.

[Sean]

When I worked at an auto auction, I could. I could pull off a nap in a car. My job would be to go clean the cars. I would just find one far as turn it on, get the AC going, not clean a single car. I actually slept at every job I've ever had. I slept at. I used to have to build furniture. I worked at a outdoor place. I was. My job was. They just put me in a warehouse and we're like, assemble some furniture, build one bed, one bench, sleep on it, wake up five hours later, be like, oh, give it.

[Born]

The homeless guy made it to a.

[Sean]

Whole day of work. I didn't build one.

[Born]

Yeah, that is the ultimate. I mean, that's like the click remote of being able to just be like, I'm going to accelerate time. Let me just lose consciousness for a while.

[Sean]

Offices are. I've never slept in an office.

[Born]

It's tough.

[Sean]

That's a tough one.

[Born]

Yeah, it's. It's tough to lay on the floor in business casual and take a nap. Here's like a sweater vest. Like.

[Sean]

I would have my friends come test drive cars.

[Born]

That's cool.

[Sean]

That's a nice move. Just leave for an hour, go get lunch, chill.

[Born]

I. I didn't even think about that.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

But yo, I had him. He was a right. He was right.

[Sean]

That guy was tricky. He just left. I don't know. I didn't even get him. Oh yeah, dude.

[Born]

I possibly. So I went to laser tag for my birthday. I didn't want to do anything. Bernie asked like, what do you want to do? I was just like, dude, I just want to like, eat like Dinner and just go to sleep. I'm like, kind of, you know, she's like, we're going to do. We're going to do laser tag. And I was like, all right. Actually might be kind of sick, dude. Then I. I made. I. I wouldn't. I don't know if I'd call it a mistake, but I was like, I'm going to get like, really stoned and just go to laser tag. That'll be fun, dude. So I like, I sitting. I. I ate a little edible and they in on the. Before I went in there, I just like smoked a joint in my car.

[Sean]

And I was like, that was Vietnam, dude. You're smoking it out of the barrel. Shotgun. You lightning it.

[Born]

I told Brittany I was like, I want to be in there like a Vietnam vet. Just being like, what the. What are we even doing here, dude? I got. But I. The what? I. What? The battle was great. What really rocked me was pre battle administrative stuff with the laser tag employees. Because I thought Brittany was going to handle all that. We forgot the cake. So I was like, ah, fuck. So she was like on the phone trying to get someone to bring the cake to the laser. The laser tag place, which I had like a kids party room, which was. The fuck. It was so funny.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

Said a little sequestered room with like purple chairs.

[Sean]

Go first, like they did in Vietnam. They go. You clear out the tunnels. You're black.

[Born]

You'd a scout. So it was like the bros. Some of the bros from the neighborhood. And like, so we all go. But I was. Me and Brittany were like there first and she was like, you talk to like set it all up. I gotta figure out this cake. And I'm like, pretty high. And it like, I'm.

Yeah, She's.

[Born]

She's like. That's like, you know, slop. Just rations for the soldiers. And then it's like, I gotta figure out logistics. So I go in and I'm talking to this. I mean, maybe in her mid-20s or 30s. There's like just ladies too old to.

[Sean]

Be instructing laser tech.

[Born]

Well, that's what the thought. I don't. I didn't want to like sound shitty, but I was so high. Just the lady was talking to me. I couldn't hear a word she was saying because I was like, damn, you working laser tag. Like trying now. Now like in a cond anyway. But I was like fully the reality of trying to laser tag as an adult. Exactly. I was just being like completely untethered by to be like, what the fuck, dude? And then in there. It was a slow night. It was Monday night. So in there's like laser tag and then like slash arcade. I was just like taking in the whole ecosystem of being like, who owns this place? You two fucking work here at laser tag.

[Sean]

Couple double homs that.

[Born]

I didn't like it. The Canaan father bothered me. Especially those little run around and they'll just walk up to you and just. Well, keep shooting. You go.

[Born]

The cool thing is though, you get hit, you go out, you can't be hit for six seconds until you come back to like your. Your gun makes a noise. So that was like. Yeah, if you got hit, you're out. You couldn't get hit again. But there was also these big power up detonators that like if. It would be like 3, 2. If you hit it in time, you get like. Your gun would get like contra. Like super ammo. Or do you have like an ammo count? It's kind of nuts, but yeah, there was a lot. You could get like. There was like landmines around you. Like if they went off near you, you just. It was pretty sick.

Yeah, it's pretty good. I got, I got like 11th and then eighth, so. But here's the thing. I got, I got hit a lot. I got.

[Sean]

Guard dog was the best.

[Lamar]

I'm pretty good at laser.

[Born]

Well, the thing they, they kind of the one thing I don't like. They do kind of reward cowardice in battle.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lamar]

So I wasn't being cowardly.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I was sitting. That's just the right.

[Born]

I mean that was, that was good. But I was storming castles. I was going in, but I was getting hit a lot and. I'm just kidding. I'm not with you. I'm not playing with you. I'm not messing with your game.

[Sean]

I got some cowards, but that's fine.

[Lamar]

No, I wasn't.

[Born]

You're a tactician. I, I was, you know, I was tactical.

[Sean]

I have a question for Spider. When were these farts happening during the game or where was this, that the farts? Was it in the cake room?

[Born]

Yeah.

[Nate]

Every time.

[Born]

I know it was in the cake room.

[Nate]

That was after I got killed. Every time I got killed, I was like, okay.

[Sean]

Not everybody would relax.

[Nate]

Yeah, yeah. Six people are going to go away.

[Born]

You know, it was like the death rattle.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

Killed. You would just release.

[Nate]

Yeah, I would go in the corners.

[Sean]

So it was in the game.

[Nate]

Yeah, it was definitely.

[Sean]

So like during the game, players were walking around your fart and be like, yeah, dude.

[Born]

And this is a big place. Like, dude. I mean, there was literally a three level walk up ramp.

[Sean]

Yeah. I mean if he's hitting farts, that's basically an outside fart. Yeah, exactly.

[Born]

Although I'm sure laser tag fog doesn't help.

[Sean]

That's probably traps the farts.

[Born]

Like carrying the fog and gardening. I'm just kidding. You didn't even play like a cow. You fought bravely and you fought well, I'm just being jealous.

[Sean]

We didn't know you take it so serious, man. You guys have been experiencing fifth, sixth grade level fun. Wrestling was fun.

[Lamar]

Yeah.

[Born]

Oh, yeah. How was that?

[Sean]

It was awesome.

[Lamar]

I got a compliment from a diva.

[Born]

What?

[Sean]

Yeah, you did get a compliment from a diva.

[Lamar]

And I didn't like my glasses.

[Born]

She likes your glasses.

[Lamar]

Yeah, but I wish she looked at the eyes behind.

[Sean]

What was her name?

[Lamar]

Liv Morgan.

[Sean]

Liv Morgan. Damn, that was a tough one.

[Born]

Liv Morgan was just.

[Sean]

Yeah, the only thing. She just came by, I said hi for a second. She was like, I like your glasses to him. And I was just. I wish Liv Morgan said something nice to me.

[Born]

Should have stunted her.

[Sean]

I should have. Oh, my God.

[Born]

Shane Gillis is smacking a diva.

[Sean]

Oh, my God. I could have smacked the diva. They were like, are you getting in the ring? I was like, no, I'll my knee off. Blow a knee out. Yeah.

[Born]

Yeah. That's gotta be the height of it.

[Sean]

McConaughey. That was intense.

[Born]

What, was he there, too?

[Sean]

Yeah, he was. And he, like, right when we got there, he got there at the same time, and we were backstage, and he was like, what's up, man? Just got, like, directly in my face. He's like, how you doing?

[Born]

Yeah, man.

[Sean]

I was like, holy. He was awesome, though.

[Born]

I heard he's the man.

[Sean]

Yeah, he was as cool as it gets.

[Born]

Damn.

[Sean]

Got to hang out with him during the fights.

[Born]

Sick.

[Sean]

It was awesome.

[Born]

That's awesome. That'd be tight.

I would love.

[Born]

I mean, everyone wants to have McConaughey Energy just rub off of them.

[Sean]

It was awesome.

[Born]

It's just like looking people in the eye like, ah. Just like, dude, you doing, man?

[Sean]

His cowboy hat kept bumping into me. He was that close. He's. He's a close guy. He's an intense guy. Yeah, it was so sick. What was your favorite part of the wrestling? You guys got on the Suck It Cam. That was Sucky Cam.

[Nate]

Suck it cam ruled. I thought Makani would be, like, shorter. He's like, no, he's a big guy. Yeah. Yeah.

[Sean]

And then Sean gave me bunny ears on my big moment. What the.

[Lamar]

I was just having fun.

[Born]

Damn. After the diva. Was that after the diva told you?

[Sean]

I thought I could get him. I thought. I spent the rest of the night pretending to be angry. Yeah. He didn't fall for it once. I spent the rest of the night going like, dude, that's actually kind of, like, up. And he didn't fall for my trick. Usually you fall for those. Usually I Can get you.

[Lamar]

Well, I overheard you talking to somebody.

[Sean]

Actually mad at him, so I'm gonna.

[Born]

Pretend like I'm mad at him.

[Sean]

I probably wasn't too secretive. I'd had a couple drinks. He thinks I'm mad.

[Born]

He's a loud drunk.

[Sean]

Quit doing it.

[Born]

Just a loud drunk whisper.

[Lamar]

It was the best night of my life.

[Sean]

That was a really great night.

[Nate]

Fluffy was there. It was pretty nice.

[Sean]

Yo, how about that? Fluffy pop.

[Nate]

Yeah, that was.

[Sean]

That was a homily. Yeah. Gabriel Glacier, the comedian. Okay.

[Born]

I was thinking Fluffy the wrestler.

[Sean]

Me on the jumbotron. It was like, yeah, they put Fluffy on. I was like.

[Born]

That is a lad. Heavy lad activity, though.

[Sean]

It is a heavy lad activity.

[Born]

So not taken away.

[Sean]

No. Especially in Austin, Texas. That was mostly lads. Yeah, there were a ton of lads there.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

Yeah. Dude, they invented. They invented fake wrestling. Yeah. Luchadores, dude.

[Sean]

I mean, yeah, that is the best. Wrestling does have the best fan base.

[Born]

I do like that.

[Sean]

Everyone's just having fun. White black downs. Oh, yeah, everyone.

[Nate]

Dude, that kid was up front row. He's.

[Sean]

Every time of his life, he was.

[Lamar]

Got a turnbuckle.

[Sean]

He did get. Matthew McConaughey threw him a turnbuckle. That's as cool as it gets.

[Born]

Yeah, that should be. The WWE should change their slogan to let's get in here. Like, it's real.

[Sean]

Just, like, it's awesome.

[Born]

Just throw off the weights of the world. Let's just all.

[Sean]

Everyone is literally being a child in there. Like, a wrestler would walk by. I kept watching this, like, adult black dude. Like, he would, like, step up to wrestlers. He didn't. Like, he'd be like, yeah, you. It was awesome.

[Born]

That is awesome, man.

[Sean]

It was. It was great. It was exciting stuff. The lady match. Lady match was actually good.

[Lamar]

Maybe the best match of the night.

[Sean]

That was a wild match.

[Lamar]

I loved it. That they. They were like, do you guys want to see. They all started fighting, and they were like, do you guys want to see this at a later date? And everyone was like, no. They're like, how about right now?

[Born]

And they're like, all right, we'll do it right. It was like, no way. They're doing it right now.

[Sean]

Right now.

[Born]

That's. It'd be crazy. Like, yeah, actually, I'd like to see this in, like, two weeks. Yeah.

[Sean]

I'd like to prepare mentally. I'd like to look into the storylines. A. Everyone was awesome. Miz, Roads, Strowman.

[Nate]

They were all holding the belt, dude. We got the whole real belt, dude.

[Born]

God damn, dude, that was one that was one reality show. When I used to watch reality shows with my ex, that was when. I like the diva show. Yeah. They were like. I kind of liked that. Usually you watch kind of reality shows like Vanderpump Rules, you'd be like, this is just. I'd watch divas. I'm like, these seem like good down there with people.

[Sean]

These are good divas.

[Born]

These are good divas.

[Sean]

The bros.

[Born]

Pro wrestler boyfriends. Being, like, kind of supportive.

[Sean]

Being like, I totally support you, babe. Who's the big diva that shook my hand? Nia Jax. She. She did great. I was cheering for her. What?

The Rock. Does the Rock ever go back to anything like that, or.

[Nate]

He's like. He's the ball. He's the final boss now.

[Born]

Is he really?

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

What's up with Vince McMahon's freaky ass? What's he up here?

[Nate]

He. He settled out of court.

[Born]

Oh, so he's just chilling out?

[Nate]

Yeah, he's just chilling.

[Lamar]

They gotta bring him back. I was saying they gotta, like, fake execute him in the room. Give him the guillotine.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

Put him in the Undertaker casket for, like, a weekend. See if he comes out and just kind of like, trad. Straightens out his weird sexual things. They did it. The Ultimate. Worked on the Ultimate Warrior.

[Sean]

What'd they do? They just put him in the casket and he chilled.

[Born]

You remember? They put him in the casket. They put the Undertaker, put the Ultimate Warrior in a casket. He was never the same. Oh, back in, like, 94. They put the Ultimate Warrior in the casket for, like, a weekend. He came out. He was. Bro. He was up.

[Sean]

That's not good.

[Born]

He was. I remember being little and just being like, holy.

[Sean]

They changed the water. Was it a Barry Live match or something like that?

[Born]

I think they just, like.

[Sean]

They just snagged live match to get you.

[Born]

Maybe it was a very good kid.

[Sean]

You'd go, he's dead. Dead.

[Born]

You saw it.

[Sean]

They just buried him in the arena.

[Born]

You really think you watched a guy die? You're like, what the. I gotta go to school tomorrow. They buried it.

[Sean]

John Michaels, in front of everyone. What the.

[Born]

Damn. What about the guy who died? Didn't the guy for real die? Owen Hart?

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Blue mini fell.

[Born]

He died, like, at the place?

[Sean]

Yeah, he landed on a turnbuckle.

[Nate]

Blue Blazer. The blue meaning laser ecw.

[Sean]

Blue laser.

[Nate]

Blue blazer.

[Sean]

Blue blazer.

[Born]

Were you watching that match, Lamar? Was that, like.

[Nate]

You can't. You don't see it happen?

[Born]

Okay, so they edited it out.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

But people in the arena were like.

[Nate]

Oh, yeah.

[Born]

Did they continue on with it?

[Nate]

They. Yeah, they continued. They thought he was alive because he stood up and then fell.

[Sean]

Oh, he stood up.

[Nate]

Yeah. Well, he fell away and then.

[Born]

Oh, shit.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Lamar]

They just did the rest of the show after that.

[Born]

I mean, you really can't. That would be a vibe crusher.

[Nate]

This is a vibe crusher, dude. Ultimate vibe crush.

[Born]

For real.

[Nate]

D. Ray Mysterio killed a guy. Well, he didn't kill a guy. He hit him with a. He started, you know, the 619 where it starts with the toe drop to the rope? He did that to the guy, and the guy, like, flopped dead onto the rope.

[Sean]

What?

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Sean]

How'd he die?

[Nate]

Like contusions or something. I think he had a heart attack. I think it's all. I don't know. But he died there.

[Born]

Kicked in the neck and he died.

[Nate]

No, he. Well, he had.

[Born]

He.

[Nate]

The 619. He does a toehold where it's like. He footed. Grab his foot and you flip him to the ground.

[Sean]

And then it's when they're laying, like, facing out of the ring, like they're like. Like a stepmom. They're stuck.

[Born]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sean]

They could move, but they're stuck. Just have their arms like this and their head like their neck is on the rope facing out. And then he runs around and grabs it and kicks them. Okay.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

And it just. Right spot, like a pressure point. Got him.

[Nate]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Born]

Damn.

[Nate]

Yeah. Raven seal finished the move. He didn't know.

[Born]

Warrior's death.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

Was this recently?

[Nate]

Maybe like 2019?

[Born]

Gosh. Pretty recent.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Dang.

[Born]

So what happens? What's a mega fan? Like, when a wrestler dies in the ring?

[Nate]

What do you mean?

[Born]

How do you process that?

[Nate]

He died the way he would. You know, it's like a good way to. I don't know. I don't know if it's like a bad way to go, but, like, you know, I disagree.

[Sean]

I think dying in front of people sucks. Blows. Dude.

[Born]

I know.

[Sean]

I don't want anyone to see me die.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I don't mean to say you out in front of everyone.

[Born]

It's totally embarrassing.

[Nate]

I didn't mean to say Ray Mysterio killed that guy, but.

[Sean]

Yeah, yeah, we know what you meant.

[Born]

Well, I didn't know. Yeah. I thought it was just that one guy who died That's a shame. More people died. How about that, then? And then no one ever talks about all those. Vince McMahon straight up killed dude after. Damn. Hell, yeah.

[Sean]

Yeah. It was awesome. That was a fun time.

[Born]

Nice, man.

[Nate]

Bleach breeze by us. He walked behind us real quick.

Triple H was there.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Oh, that would have been cool to see.

[Born]

President. Isn't he the President?

[Nate]

He's. Yeah, he's the boss now.

[Sean]

That would have been neat to see.

[Born]

So who's in charge, the Rock or Triple H?

[Nate]

Triple H is in charge of wrestling. The Rock is in charge of tko, which is the company that owns UFC and wwe.

[Born]

Damn. He owns that?

[Nate]

Yeah. Shareholder. Shareholder.

[Sean]

[Sean]

What are you thinking?

[Born]

Lime scooters, Jailbroke lime scooters. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. You got to think. You got to think of something cool you can, like, pass underneath, like a truck. That's all you need is one. One cool lane switch to set off the whole 10 movie franchise.

[Sean]

That was big.

[Born]

That was. That was. I was done after that. I was like, yep. Sign me up for 14 more of these things.

[Born]

Did they. I gotta ask. Did they ride dirty into outer space?

[Sean]

They did. Why they launch it, I have no idea. I didn't see the movie. I just saw that clip.

[Born]

That's gotta be. I mean, dude. What? That's got to feel crazy when you're like your 10th movie in, and you're just like. You're just. You. You know, it's like a trope and a cliche to, like, all right, we gotta go to space now. And it's being like. It's got to be actually kind of a sweet moment. We're like, dude, we've made literally so much money, we have to go to space.

[Sean]

Yeah. We're taking the franchise on this planet for us.

[Born]

We're taking the franchise into space and you're like, everyone just clings glasses and like, dude, our descendants will never have to work. We've taken a movie franchise into space. Now we have a billion dollars.

[Born]

Hood. I think he went from the hood and then to space. Yeah, he was in the hood.

[Sean]

He was. It was. They jumped. They went too early to space. But leprechaun in space was one of the first pairs of tits I ever saw.

[Born]

Dude, it was.

[Sean]

And we paused it on it. And my friend's mom and dad came. My friend's mom came down to the basement while we were watching it. Paused on the glittery space tits, bro.

[Born]

I forgot.

[Sean]

My parents were coming over later to hang out and they were like, we're gonna tell them. And I was like, no.

[Born]

It wasn't my idea. I didn't even Want to do this? That might have been the first. That was. I think the first set of tits I saw in an actual movie was Leprechaun in space.

[Sean]

Yeah, bro.

[Born]

I'd be so mad if I was in space. And there's an evil Jennifer Anderson in that.

[Sean]

She's in one of them.

[Born]

She might be.

[Sean]

She's in a leprechaun, bro.

[Born]

Is she really?

[Sean]

Yes.

[Born]

It wasn't her tits, though. Leprechaun was a big. That was like a big movie franchise.

[Sean]

Leprechaun ruled. She was in the first one. And now she's dating Barack Obama.

[Born]

I know. I saw that. I mean, yeah, I wouldn't. I don't know. That's one thing I wouldn't really care about. If he was having sex with Jennifer Aniston, that's like the best support.

[Sean]

It.

[Born]

It's like the best possible rumor about that guy.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

The other ones are pretty vicious.

[Sean]

Yeah. Killed his gay chef.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I'd go, no, I'm Jeff.

[Born]

I'd be leaning into him. I was like, yeah. While you guys thought I was killing my gay chef and smoking crack and doing all that other stuff, I was actually plugging Aniston. So you guys, dude, for saying I would support him. If you had. If you were Obama and you had to own up to two rumors, which would you own up to?

[Sean]

Drone striking all those civilians way before I admit to killing my gay chef. Say, no. I was the war crime guy, not the gay guy. I was war crime.

[Born]

Yeah, true. That's a good point.

[Sean]

Yeah. War crimes are pretty sick.

[Born]

I would. What I would do is I. If I didn't do two rumors, I would do Aniston, obviously, and I would do Mike, and I'd be like, yeah, I took them both down at the same time.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

Mike handled my light work, bro. I watched Mike Diddy down. Watched.

[Sean]

I let Mike go to work.

[Born]

That ain't right.

[Sean]

That ain't right. That ain't right. No, I don't like that. I don't like that type of talk. You know me, dude. Don't talk about my politicians.

[Born]

I know. I bet. My bad, my bad, my bad. I was watching RFK Jr getting sworn in.

[Sean]

I saw clips of it, bro.

[Born]

They were attacking him, man.

[Sean]

Yeah. They're trying to get the boys.

[Born]

I don't like. I don't know why it's acceptable. There's this guy from Denver who, like, he's asking questions, and the whole thing is supposed to be like, all right, did you say these things in the past? And then RFK Is like, well, like, kind of said that, but let me clarify. And he's like, I don't care what you're saying now. I want to know what you said then. It's like, well, why do you care what he said then if you don't care what he said now? Yeah, I mean, I get it, because it's like, you're just saying that to get into this position, but it was just so lame.

[Sean]

The bioengineered.

[Born]

Yeah, that part. Yeah. But he was like. I was. Yeah, I don't want to hear that part. You're like, dude, what the. You can't do that.

[Sean]

I saw. Did you see Bernie yelling at him for the onesies?

[Born]

Yes, I saw a little bit of that. Do you support this onesie?

[Sean]

Do you agree with the onesie on the screen? It was like a baby onesie that said something about vaccines.

[Born]

Oh, that's what the ones he said.

[Sean]

Yeah. He was seriously like, do you believe in this onesie? Yeah. And he was like, I don't think so. I don't support that onesie.

[Born]

Does it have a butt flap? Yeah, dude, I. That was, like, really insane, dude. I was. I watched, like, a good amount of it, although I didn't watch. I listened to it, but my video was playing while I was driving on the way over here, and I was just like, dude, like, just let the guy talk, man. Just if you're. If you're like, you know, you can hold his feet to the fire on stuff, but, like, they do that, like, I hate to say, kind of like girl stuff where there'd be like, no, no, no, no, no. That's what you said. Okay. And you're like, oh, hold on. What the. What are we doing? What are we doing here? Well, that's what you said.

[Sean]

Stuff.

[Born]

No, that's what you said. And you're like, okay, man.

[Sean]

Yeah. Those hearings are all girl stuff.

[Born]

Yeah. It's also like, I. What I think a lot of it is is like, all right, let's just get the clip of us making him seem like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

[Sean]

Bang. And just go, you know what got me. You know what politically got me fired up?

[Born]

What?

[Sean]

What's the video game Elon Musk says he plays? Did you hear? He lied about that.

[Born]

What?

[Sean]

He's like. He doesn't. He's not even that good at it. He, like, had. He was cheating. He had somebody else playing for him.

[Born]

Say what? He has someone handling his light work, bro.

[Sean]

Who's. Video game line. That's that's psychotic.

[Born]

Really weird. Yeah.

[Sean]

If that's true, I don't know the story.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

If it's true that Elon Musk is video game lying.

[Born]

Video game lying.

[Sean]

Weird.

[Born]

Okay. Video game line. Yes. That was the scariest ever.

[Sean]

You can't video game. Like if you find out someone's video game line, you go, why?

[Born]

Yeah, I mean, I will say there's a. There's like an age. It's like, you know, if you commit a crime on your minor. Forgiven.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

But there's a threshold into adulthood. If you're video game lying, puberty is where you got.

[Sean]

Once you jizz. You can't video game lie. I think he video game lied and then tried to play. What I heard was then he tried to play on a live stream and people that played the game were like, you with. For him to take this long to figure out these buttons, he's never played this game.

[Born]

Dude, that's crazy. Hiring a guy to be like, yo, get nice in this video.

[Sean]

Make sure everyone thinks I'm the nicest at Diablo.

[Born]

See if it's just like for like a passion project where you're like, damn, that level's really hard. I'm a billionaire. Why am I sweating over this? I'll hire someone to like beat this level for me just so I can watch the storyline. That would be sick to get briefed. You're a billionaire. Like, so what happened? Like, okay, yeah, like brief on Diablo. I was like, that's so sick.

[Sean]

I didn't think it was the crystal. Never would have thought of that.

[Born]

If that's true. That is. That is truly insane.

[Sean]

He might have. He admitted to.

[Lamar]

That's what this Washington Post article says. He said he admitted to paying to get boost his online warriors into global leaderboards.

[Born]

So he paid.

[Lamar]

He paid to.

[Born]

Mr. Musk, did you use Game Genie? Answer the question, yes or no.

[Sean]

Did you use Game Genie on Diablo? Yes or no.

[Born]

Did you use the Contra code for God?

[Sean]

I swear to God. That actually does matter though.

[Born]

That dude, that's kind of somebody who's.

[Sean]

Saying he's doing it because he's trying to get views because he wants to do like a streaming thing on X, like a new show on there.

[Born]

Just hire pro gamers.

[Sean]

Who knows what I like to play video games.

[Born]

Every now and again you have to be a world ranked player. That's crazy. Although he is. It's. I don't know. Is he the first case of like unchecked autism?

[Sean]

Pretty much.

[Born]

Because. Have we had autistic billionaires before? We had to have had a couple.

[Sean]

But I'm sure they. Most of them had something. But he's the first one that he seems like he's. He wants fame.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

And autism and fame together is almost makes me think he's not autistic.

[Born]

True. Those bros.

[Sean]

He don't care at all about that.

[Born]

Yeah, that's actually a good point.

[Sean]

Typically, that's a good. Confusing me.

[Born]

Video game lying is video game lying, though.

[Sean]

That bothered me.

[Born]

I feel like you. I feel like you wouldn't autistic video game lie. That's the fundamental question here. You know what I'm saying?

[Sean]

I don't think they lie.

[Born]

I feel like there's a code.

[Sean]

Those bros, especially on the vidges.

[Born]

That's what I'm saying. That'd be like being like, I know I could quote the whole Sonic movie back to Forth and being like, bro, bro, you lying, dude. Like, I hired somebody to fucking read me the Sonic line so I could be autistic. I hope that's not true. The thing that's been freaking me out about that kind of stuff is, like. And again, I don't know if this is real or not, but, like, people hiring, like, being their own hype man in the comments, I've, like, I've seen multiple stories about different people doing this where it's like, busted. They, like, busted the comments, bro. I know.

[Sean]

This is what happens.

[Born]

No, but. I know, but exactly.

[Sean]

I get it. You end up going, I'll just. I wish my friends would say this about me.

[Born]

All to count.

[Sean]

Everybody should know about this.

[Born]

That would feel good to, like, anonymously be like, actually, he's actually pretty fucking sick. I don't know. But it was on laser tag number six. But yeah, people, they like the screenshots again, you know, Whether or not it's true or not, you never know. But it's like there's like a screenshot of them busting up their Twitter account. Then you saw the alt underneath it, and it's like, that's. And then they'll show the top comment and like, yo, this person's. They're hyping themselves. Which, again, if you hire someone to.

[Sean]

Do social media, people have burner accounts that hype themselves up and argue do in the comments a lot.

[Born]

That's crazy.

[Sean]

Athletes do it a lot.

[Born]

That's crazy, bro. That's crazy. Or if, like, you hire someone to do social media, like, yo, while you're at it, set up that other account. How about you say a couple nice things about me? You know?

[Sean]

Maybe I could see that. I could see that phone call. And then you don't even think about how lame that is until you get caught doing it. And they go, yeah, that was lame as.

[Born]

Oh, it's the worst, bro.

[Sean]

Yeah, it's like the.

[Born]

I'd rather be caught. I'd rather be caught fapping accidentally on zoom than have somebody catch me. Hyping me. Yes. Hyping myself. Dude. That's devastating.

[Sean]

Be like.

[Born]

Actually, he's, like, really cool.

[Sean]

I don't even think he. No, I think he looks good.

[Born]

He's actually, like, nasty at Diablo.

[Sean]

He's so good at Diablo.

[Born]

That's. I. If that's true, I pray that's not true.

[Sean]

I pray that's not true. I hope there's another something behind that.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I hope he's trying to promote a show on X. I hope so, too, because video game lying is a. That's treason. In my.

[Born]

In my America, that's punishable.

[Sean]

Easy. That's firing squad.

[Born]

True. With, like.

[Sean]

What is it, Chipotle? No, I'm all right, thank you.

[Born]

You'd have the firing squad jump. Like Halo players.

[Sean]

Teabag mattress dead.

[Born]

Yeah. Dude, I didn't know that. That's truly devastating.

[Sean]

But, you know, maybe I'm on my liberal. The White House came out and lied about. They said we were giving $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza. Why? I don't know. They're. They're. They're justifying their cutting federal funding for a lot of. Because we're wasting tons of money on random.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

And one of the examples they used happens to not probably not be true. We're giving $50 million worth of condoms to Hamas.

[Born]

They're not using them.

[Sean]

They're not using them.

[Born]

Yeah, that'd be.

[Sean]

That'd be more condoms than. Yeah, $50 million worth of condoms is too much.

[Born]

There's no way.

[Sean]

But it turns out that's probably not true. But then what they're doing. Which is very nice because that lie was so stupid, the media can focus on that as, like, the story instead of the funding that should probably be cut, which they actually are doing.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

You know, to, like, foreign DI company, you know.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

But the United States is paying, like, $80 million to promote Di and Chad like that.

[Born]

Yes, I could tell. I could. I could imagine that being a gigantic waste of money.

[Sean]

Yeah. What gender are you? I am mechanic. Yeah. All right, well, we can shut this program down. Program's. I am mechanic. Okay.

[Born]

You're the DEI instructor. You come back with, like, hard ptsd.

[Sean]

Yeah, I've been watching those videos. They've been firing me up. Africa Core.

[Born]

What's Africa Corps?

[Sean]

It's the funniest. It's just dudes getting interviewed on the street.

[Born]

Dude, they're the best. Would you ever marry a woman that.

[Sean]

Makes more money than you? Never.

[Born]

Never. Oh, I will always be poor.

[Sean]

Why are you gay?

[Born]

Oh, there's Africa.

[Sean]

Africa is hilarious. What gender are you? I am mechanic.

[Born]

Yeah, those dudes rule.

[Sean]

They're the best.

[Born]

It's a shame we can't get along better, man. It'd be so cool to just, like.

[Sean]

We get along with Africa.

[Born]

We do, for sure.

[Sean]

Yeah. We can chill with those.

[Born]

But I'm saying we gotta stop fighting every other country so over. Like. Like, think about our enemies, dude. Abroad, China's, you know, like it or hate it. They're funny as hell, dude. They're funny as. They're funny.

[Sean]

North Korea, hilarious.

[Born]

I know, dude.

[Sean]

They all got addicted to porn when they got sent to Ukraine. There's dudes in, like, Russian hospitals posting videos like, Russian soldiers. Like, these are my roommates. It's in North Koreans. There's a TV in the room, and they're like, what the is this?

[Born]

That's her. Like, remember how the soldiers got, like, peanut butter? German soldiers got peanut butter for the first time in World War II. They're just watching Fail Army. Like, holy. Everything I've ever been told is a lie. This is awesome.

[Sean]

They see cgi. They see, like, the geico gecko. They're just like, it's talking.

[Born]

Yeah. That's got to be crazy, man. Especially getting tossed in a Russian. Having Russians be like, oh, you didn't know about this?

[Sean]

Yeah, check this out.

[Born]

Blue jeans.

[Sean]

Check this out.

[Born]

Although Tucker was saying Russia is chill as hell, I watched that one video where he went to a supermarket.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

Looked like an Audi's, where he was just like, this is amazing. They have everything here. Fresh produce.

[Sean]

Yeah. They have stuff there. Although apparently you're never gonna believe it. Russia has stuff.

[Born]

Russia has stuff. Or they. Apparently, Putin called. I think Putin is trying to rile up the right wing bros. He's like, yo, actually send Fauci over here. I'll deal with his ass. And everyone's like, yeah, we'll on Twitter, like, I'll send him over here right now. You'd be surprised.

[Sean]

He's.

[Born]

He's pretty. It is pretty massive.

[Sean]

They also said the Biden administration tried to kill him. Really? The Russians came out, I think, today and said they tried to kill Biden and Trump Or Putin and Trump.

[Born]

What?

[Sean]

Yeah, they could just be horse feeding.

[Born]

True. But it. I mean, it is.

[Sean]

But it does seem like somebody tried to kill Trump.

[Born]

Yeah, for sure.

[Sean]

He didn't get shot in the head.

[Born]

Someone did try to get his ass. Putin, too. I mean, it is. If Putin's over there, that is.

[Sean]

The other guy that tried to shoot him was, what, living in Ukraine? Kind of weird.

[Born]

That's not a good one. What the hell? Yeah, I mean, hell's breaking loose, dude. I'm. I'm just watching RFK get in there and they're like, you think Pop Tarts? You guys.

[Sean]

You don't like Pop Tarts?

[Born]

You. You. All the kids are gonna die. It is crazy. He's like, look, it's not working health wise. We're not doing well. They're like, we understand that, but you didn't. You say that. And it's just like, dude, let it go. You guys had it. You guys held down the fort.

[Sean]

They held down the fort.

[Born]

You had.

[Sean]

Fucking fort sucked.

[Born]

You had the fouch man in there. You guys got your. How long was he in there for?

[Sean]

Forever.

[Born]

He's in there for ever, dude.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

Yeah. It's like, let's roll the dice, man. We're all fat as hell. Let's roll the dice. I got type 2 diabetes almost. I wouldn't mind switching things up a little bit, dude.

[Sean]

Switch it up. Yeah.

[Born]

I was over here like, dude, I'm probably one of the healthiest guys I know.

[Sean]

I'm like, well, that's because you hang out with a bunch of slobs.

[Born]

Damn it. I got.

[Sean]

Being the fittest guy at a comedy club is, I know, not that impressive. I go there, I'm like, hey, it's all right.

[Born]

This is truth. But, yeah, hopefully we come out of it. I think. I think after two more years, we might come out all right. They do got to stop lying and doing Nazi salutes. I just wish. I just wish. No Nazi saluted.

[Sean]

My heart goes out to you. It has nothing compared to lying on Diablo.

[Born]

That's true. Heart goes out to you. You know what? That's there. That's a gray area up for interpretation. Video game lying is. It's cutting, but it's cutting. It's black and white, man. It's gotten dry. Like, oh, man, I pray that's not true. You guys looked at. I need to know.

[Sean]

Yeah, he did.

[Born]

It is true.

[Nate]

Sean's. Yeah, Sean said he admitted to it in the Post.

[Lamar]

The Post says he admitted to it. Paying players to help him rank up and get his guys. I don't know how Diablo works, but apparently he paid to get that rank.

[Born]

Have guys play under his avatar.

[Lamar]

I think a mix of like a few of those sorts of. Of things.

[Sean]

Like have Tom Fuller.

[Born]

Yeah, there's like money in those open world games that like becomes almost like real money. Like, it becomes like you could. You know, it's like a tradable commodity.

[Nate]

Guys would trade accounts like Runescape. You know, you'd like get a level 100 Runescape account and then you'd sell it to like another guy. That's probably what he did. He just probably bought a bunch of level 80 accounts.

[Born]

Really? A little. Little inside rim job.

[Lamar]

Yeah. I think they. They looked at his rank and they were like, if you can never do this in the amount of time you.

[Born]

Said by yourself, but dude, his mind's a storm, dude, he's a genius.

[Lamar]

I guess.

[Born]

Storm. Dude, it is sick to have a storm being like, I gotta get a higher Diablo, right?

[Sean]

I don't know.

[Lamar]

I don't. I don't know. Diablo.

[Sean]

But whatever.

[Born]

At least he owned up to it, you know? At least he's. You know, that's. That's good. Holding it down like that'd be crazy if you held it down like Watergate style. I was like, I'll never admit till I die.

[Sean]

I should have. Yeah, you should have hidden that. I said, no, I did not. Video game lie.

[Born]

Yeah, true. I would have. I would have been like, we gotta invade Vietnam again. Actually just attract distracted.

[Sean]

The whole Vietnam. That me up. I watched that. I got 20 minutes left of that Ken Burns.

[Born]

It was good finish.

[Sean]

A Ken Burns. You feel like he did something. Something.

[Born]

Dude, that's like reading a book.

[Sean]

That was a lot.

[Born]

That was dense, man.

[Sean]

That was a lot. It was easy because my girlfriend's friends were visiting. So I was just in my room shacked up with some Ken Burns watching Vietnam.

[Born]

It's a sick move, actually. That does create like a little sanctuary blast zone. What are you doing? Like, mom's watching this thing about a.

[Sean]

Horrible once in Vietnam. You guys are not gonna watch it?

[Born]

Yeah, it is like one of those frequencies.

[Sean]

Scarecrow.

[Born]

Yeah, it's a scarecrow.

[Sean]

It would come in the room and they'd go. It would all run. Yeah, it was a bummer. Nixon. I don't know why I was getting reports that Nixon was kind of the man he was. According to Ken Burns documentary, that guy sucked.

[Born]

Yeah. There's a people say he's bad. Who's telling you he was the man?

[Sean]

Louie Likes him. Yeah, I think Louis likes him, but he's. Recognizes his flaws. And then. What's his name? Nick Bryant was in here.

[Born]

Brian, you were saying, like, he got.

[Sean]

A lot of people that were like, he's kind of. And I've defended him. I've been like, he ended Vietnam. It was pretty good. It's like he. He didn't want to. He wanted to do it for political purposes. They had peace talks lined up before the election, and he, as a candidate, went in and was like. He talked directly to the South Vietnamese, and he was like, don't do these peace talks. Wait till I'm elected. We'll get you a better deal.

[Born]

Damn.

[Sean]

He shut down peace talks for his election.

[Born]

Yeah. That's fucked up.

[Sean]

That's crazy.

[Born]

The book I read, the born again book with the guy, Chuck Colson, who was like, his dude who went to jail for Watergate or one of the guys who went to jail. I remember him claiming, like, they had these peace talks going. They got, like, sabotage. But if that was before he even got in there, that was.

[Sean]

Yeah, he was a candidate.

[Born]

Oh, yeah. They don't talk about that. That's pretty.

[Sean]

And then they tried to have peace talks, and they waited. The peace talks took 10 weeks because south or South Vietnam and North Vietnam couldn't agree on what table to use. They were like, if we're on this side, you guys have to be on that side. And they fought about it for 10 weeks. What? And the war just kept going.

[Born]

They didn't want to break bread. They want to break bread together.

[Sean]

No, they. They wanted the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese to sit on the same side because they were like, you guys are the same team. Stop pretending you're not. And then the Soviet Union came in with a big plan 10 weeks later. What about a round table so no one's really on a side? And everyone was like, all right, that works.

[Born]

Kind of a good idea.

[Sean]

Now let's talk. It was the dumbest. Vietnam was the dumbest piece of war. And the whole time, people were like, even in America, every single person that went over there was like. Like, we shouldn't do that. Yeah, don't do that. Well, the idea advisor was like, don't do it.

[Born]

Yeah, this is not a good idea. The idea was they're. They were under the threat of becoming communists. And we were supposed to go in there to be like, hey, guys, come on, man. This is.

[Sean]

Yes.

[Born]

Then we just started shooting people. We sent over.

[Sean]

We sent over advisors under Kennedy, and then he was like, we're not gonna ever send troops.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

So they shot him in the head, and then LBJ sent troops in.

[Born]

Damn, dudes.

[Sean]

Yeah, that's why they shot him in the head.

[Born]

And then what was the upside for America, though?

[Sean]

To, like, I don't know. We got stuck in this war that we were gonna try to make South Vietnam, the government there, like, a democratic right. Like, we elected their guys, and everybody we elected kept being a corrupt fucking psycho. Just sucked.

[Born]

And then we decided.

[Sean]

But the one thing that bothers me, especially on the Internet, there's nice memes where Vietnam fucked us up. We literally committed a genocide there. They did not us up. We murdered. Look at this. It was like, literally million. We killed a million.

[Born]

You're saying we won?

[Sean]

By America's standard of body count at the time, that was what they were going with.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

America was like, we're winning the war. We killed so many.

[Born]

But they didn't say mercy.

[Sean]

They were like. They never said mercy.

[Born]

Kind of. That sucks.

[Sean]

They never said uncle.

[Born]

That is a giant psychological victory to be like, yeah, I don't give a.

[Sean]

Yeah, kill a million of us. I don't give a. Yeah, well, they mad dogged us. Now we got a little soft. That was the other thing. Because I'm watching this, you know, it's a historical documentary. I'm watching, like, it's a movie. I'm thinking, like, oh, man, we should have won this war. We could have them up, not even thinking about, like, human lives. But the people back home were real, like, anti war. Our journalists were really taking it upon themselves to try to get peace by showing how awful the war was.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Yeah. And of course, North. North Vietnam didn't have freedom of press, so they were just telling everybody, we're fucking winning. Meanwhile, America's like, this is disaster.

[Born]

Did. It was a disaster.

[Sean]

It was a disaster. That's the hard part.

[Born]

They should have been.

[Sean]

It's also a war.

[Born]

Yeah, true.

[Sean]

There's. There's. I understand. Doing the right thing by reporting on terrible things.

[Born]

Yeah. But I just don't understand. I never. I can never understand how it started. Like, World War I was Archduke Ferdinand. They're like, oh, like, I get the beginnings of that.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

I've never. There was. Was there, like, in, like, the Civil War, there was like. Fort Sumter was the first battle. I never understood, like, the first battle where they're like, hey.

[Sean]

Oh, well, Vietnam didn't have, like. It did have battles, but it was another. It was like. It was a weird war. There wasn't like. Like, There'd be a battle for, like, a hill.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

And we would take it, and then the next day we would just abandon it. Like, it. Nothing made sense. Crazy. It started with, like, France leaving and then the communists kind of taking hold and starting to take over. Vietnam being like, can you help us out? Yeah, we're like, we'll send advisors. And then we're like, we should just dump a bunch of money into this and our people. And then we ended up sending troops.

[Born]

So you have to just like, you have to, like, just take out the communist leaders. That's like the military objective.

[Sean]

Yeah. We didn't want China to expand into Vietnam.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

The way they were. Exciting stuff.

[Born]

That is pretty exciting. I mean, dude, I never really knew. I knew it was like a. Yeah.

[Sean]

I never knew anything about Vietnam. I watched the whole thing. I still don't know what happened.

[Born]

I mean, that's pretty good recounting.

[Sean]

Yeah. But nothing, Nothing makes sense.

[Born]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I mean, as to why anything happened.

[Born]

Yeah. It's weird. I mean, it does. You know, I don't know. Yeah, I still, I got, I got a, I, I did Marty Ben's podcast on bitcoin.

[Sean]

Nice.

[Born]

Yesterday. So I. The same experience.

[Sean]

I've never understood a thing about bitcoin.

[Born]

I'm a little bit.

[Sean]

I don't know what it is.

[Born]

It's a technology. It's like one of the greatest technologies man's ever done.

[Sean]

I can do that. I can do that.

[Born]

So, dude, he was explaining it yesterday.

[Sean]

How do they mine it? What is being. What is happening?

[Born]

So this is, I, I, this is my understanding of it. Somebody tell me this is my hard earned. And I don't know if this is even correct, but. So there's like a computer network that is somehow securing bitcoin by solving this, like, mathematical equation the founder set out to where, like, it increases in difficulty. So if a lot of bitcoins are being mined, you're mining a bitcoin, you're being rewarded for dedicating computing power that then secures the network itself, which is just this weird mathematical function that can be solved. And then for solving it, you get a little bitcoin as a reward. But then the network knows the problem is being solved, so it ups the difficulty, and then you kind of tethers back and forth. That's like, it was weird as.

[Sean]

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.

[Born]

Yeah, not really. I don't understand it either.

[Sean]

I've been hit with a lot of speeches on it. Yeah, I got it with Sam Hyde, Nick Mullen, I've been hit with serious rants on Bitcoin. Yeah, Never. I've just. Just stare at them. Well, they talk to me about money and I go, all I know is.

[Born]

So it can't be. It's the big things.

[Sean]

The fiat should have focused on money.

[Born]

The fiat currency is the big port of where it's like any. Any currency is like, the policy dictating the worth of the currency is dictated by a centralized governing body. But bitcoin, the network through which it's exchanged, that is somehow bolstered by voluntary computer power that is given Bitcoin as a reward, allows for it to never be centralized and dictated in a way where if you have all your money in USD and they're printing out tons of US dollars, it fucks up your money. Your money in a bank is of course, literally dissipating. If you're not investing, your money is disappearing under inflation. Like a part of it is just disintegrating.

[Sean]

Yeah.

And bitcoin's argument is that it won't do that because they're only going to ever put out 21 million bitcoins. That's like the whole thing. It's just. But I'm like, yeah, but like, you can just save it. I guess you can just save it and just put. Use it as like a savings account. That was the whole. Let me just talk about other stuff, but it was cool to hear about, like, hash point. I still don't understand that. He's like, well, then it reaches the hash point. The hash point dictates the difficulty level. And it was just like, bro, I hope it goes up to 200, man. That's all I know.

[Sean]

Yeah, I don't know anything.

[Born]

But they claim they do know.

[Sean]

Your money managers get mad when you say, put that into bitcoin.

[Born]

They don't like it. No, they don't like it. Well, because it completely apparently just totally undermines, like, the way Wall street functions. I don't know that. Again, I'm out of my depth on that too. But I did get a little bit. Now I understand what mining bitcoin is. It's like dedicating computers. You're just like. Like, you have a computer and it just does math problems, really hard math problems all day. And then every now and again, you're like, damn, you just got a fraction of a bitcoin. You're like, yes, it's math Castle.

[Sean]

It's stupid.

[Born]

It's literally math Castle. I don't like that you have math Castle. You have a. You have like a huge rack of computer servers doing math castle every now and again.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Born]

Yoshi, or whatever his name is Shoshi is like, you get a Mario coin, you. Yes, I am kind of mystified by how it works.

[Sean]

Stupid. If that's how it works, that's dumb. You just do math problems. A computer does things. Who's benefiting from the computer doing something?

[Nate]

The network.

[Born]

The network having its.

[Sean]

The network just gets bigger.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

Bigger and more secure. So it's like with the more computing power you have, dedicated for some reason to doing these math problems. That way, like when an exchange happens, it's somehow validated within the thing is like, yep, this definitely happened. It's like a kind of a worry free way to exchange money. Like they're saying you can't scam it. It. From what I've heard, I don't know if you can or not. So it was pretty cool. I got bitcoin pilled yesterday and I was like, damn, it's kind of sick. I always wanted just to know because I don't know literally anything about it.

[Sean]

And these dudes are like, you seem to have an idea of what bitcoin is.

[Nate]

I just know. I know about mining. Yeah, I tried to build a rig. I couldn't do it. The programming part was too hard for me.

[Sean]

Yeah, you try to build a rig to mine?

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Born]

How far did I get?

[Nate]

20, 15. I had like two GPUs ready to go.

[Sean]

Damn, you could have done it. Yeah, you could have stuck with it.

[Born]

What was, what was the coding thing that. What was the, like put a program.

[Nate]

On there and I couldn't do it.

[Born]

What's the math problem? Yeah, what's the math problem, dude?

[Nate]

I don't know.

[Born]

I was trying to figure out. I'm like, dude, how hard is this math problem and how the did it get?

[Sean]

13, 7. No one can do it. What is it, 13 times 7? No one on earth can do that. Dude.

[Born]

Your computer just blows up. You're like, it's my second tower.

[Sean]

91.

[Born]

Yeah. We got into quantum computing. I was like, that makes no sense. Quantum computing, no sense at all. Because quantum mechanics has to deal with like the teeniest, tiniest specks of like, matter possible. And I'm like, okay, I understand that, but how the does you have a computer dealing in that?

[Sean]

I can't do any of that.

[Born]

I guess instead of megabytes, it's mini bytes.

[Sean]

And you go, oh shit, it's mini bytes.

[Born]

It's just unparalleled computing power.

[Sean]

What do you have qubits.

[Born]

They're called. What? What's a qubit do?

[Nate]

A qubit is a measure of quantum power.

[Born]

Yeah, but like, okay, it seems like.

[Sean]

We all know the vocabulary around it.

[Born]

That's what I'm saying.

[Sean]

Tough time explaining what I did.

[Nate]

Okay, so this, I watched a video. It was like explaining like I was five. The guy was like, quantum computing is like. So you know how a coin has two sides?

[Born]

Sure.

[Nate]

There's an endpoint. Both. Both parts are entry and endpoint. But like, quantum computing is like spinning a coin because there's an infinite amount of entries and exits.

[Born]

So you 0, 1, the program's not 01, 01. It's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

[Nate]

Yeah, but like infinite because it's an.

[Sean]

Infinite amount of points that made no sense. Points of what? What are you talking about? Entry and exit points of what?

[Nate]

Points of data, points of computing, points of processing.

[Born]

So it's not binary.

[Sean]

General words.

[Nate]

It's not binary.

[Born]

It's not binary. Your computers run on a series of 0, 1, 1, 1, 1,1,01.

[Sean]

Male, female, non binary.

[Born]

Computing is gender fluid.

[Sean]

It's.

[Born]

It's codeful, it's fluid. It's just like a 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 6, 9, 9, 9.

[Sean]

Like, oh, I didn't even think about.

[Born]

There's a 9. There's a 9 in this computer. What if instead of definitely, that's definitely taken over?

[Sean]

Yeah, I understand it now. Thank you.

[Born]

Just a little bit more.

[Sean]

Well, Patreon, thank yous.
