Unknown Speaker
NMLS 696891 this episode was recorded on Thursday, June 12th at 11:00am It's a hot time.
Ryan Reynolds
It's summer in the city. Are you guys ready for a show? Because we're getting a show, aren't we? There's gonna be so many lights, sounds, parades, costumes and actors and we're gonna talk about it all right here right now on too many times. Remember to smile. You know, Mrs. P. Last week when we recorded this show, we had Tell Williams on here. Great guest.
Unknown Speaker
He was the best.
Ryan Reynolds
He was a great guest. But there was a bad thing happened right at the end of it.
Unknown Speaker
What was that?
Ryan Reynolds
The bad thing that happened was that we didn't get to cover Trump and Elon breaking up.
Unknown Speaker
Breakup of a century.
Ryan Reynolds
They broke up and now apparently got back together. It was such a.
Unknown Speaker
They. They. Facebook broke up. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I think that if each Elon wants to log into Facebook again, he's gonna have to share his account with Trump. You know, you ever see those couples that share an account? Yeah, because somebody was in one and.
Ryan Reynolds
Then somebody was clicking on their.
Unknown Speaker
But they were going back and forth during their breakup making of. They started vague posting.
Ryan Reynolds
They did.
Unknown Speaker
But then eventually they just started yelling at each other and tagging each other.
Ryan Reynolds
They did.
Unknown Speaker
And now they're. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. And then it's like, what didn't you mean? Tell me exactly what you didn't mean.
Ryan Reynolds
What Elon said. What? Elon. Because. Because this is on. Was it Tuesday? Tuesday, Elon finally tweeted, I regret some of the things I posted.
Unknown Speaker
Some.
Ryan Reynolds
Some of the things I posted about Donald Trump.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, like when you called him a pedophile.
Unknown Speaker
I like that he said, I regret it. Not that I'm sorry.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
I just have regrets.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
I showed up at his house.
Ryan Reynolds
They're showing up at a lot of people's houses.
Unknown Speaker
That's true.
Ryan Reynolds
We'll get into it. But I just want to stick on this real quick, because there I, I. This is what I hate about the Trump administration. Whenever he has a loss, whenever he has a giant failure. That would destroy any other, by the way, I want to remind everybody, would destroy any other presidency.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
In just this week alone, Donald Trump was accused of being a pedophile. And then he fell walking upstairs.
Unknown Speaker
That was Joe Biden's kryptonite.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
Falling upstairs.
Ryan Reynolds
Exactly. And they're both not in the news anymore.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And that's what. To bring him back. To bring them back a little bit. Just because, listen, I don't give a shit about. Oh, these. We should be. We're going to cover a lot of stuff today. We are. But. But there's some things we should be savoring. I feel like a lot of. Not just the media, I feel like a lot of our algorithms, it doesn't savor anything. And the things that got savored for other presidencies were only being done that way because outside groups and rich men and specific thumbs on specific algorithms started pushing down to make sure that now this. We're just gonna keep resurfacing this headline and this image and this meme over and over and over again. But with Trump, there's so fucking many things that constantly are happening. He's like, oh, look over here. I'm at Les Mis. Oh, look over here. They're booing me. Oh, look over here. Yeah. He went to go see Les Mis last night.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, my God, this. Okay, so he watched Les Mis.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
And he. He now knows the. The storyline of Les.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
Okay. All right. And he digested that quietly.
Ryan Reynolds
And people booed as he sat down. He heard the people sing. Singing the song of angry men.
Unknown Speaker
And he was like, I don't. I maybe heard somebody talk about the.
Ryan Reynolds
Blood of the martyr as a man waved a red grief cat. Okay.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, who wrote the song?
Ryan Reynolds
Who wrote who wrote the.
Unknown Speaker
The Horny Fairy song.
Ryan Reynolds
That one right there. Shadow Daddy Ro in their world. Grief Cat, friend of the show.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
They were at the Kennedy.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, shut up. They went to the.
Ryan Reynolds
They were there and posted a video.
Unknown Speaker
Can you imagine? You. You buy tickets, you're so excited. You go to D.C. and you're like, so excited. And then Trump's there.
Ryan Reynolds
Drag queens bought tickets. Drag queens bought tickets and then came and sat and they were applauded.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, of course.
Ryan Reynolds
Because when you looked at the crowd, for the most part, the people. The people who are going to the theater are. With the exception of the girl from Pussycat Dolls.
Unknown Speaker
Oh. She just won the Tony, though.
Ryan Reynolds
I know. That's what I'm saying. With the exception of it, for the most part, the people who go. The people who own the land under the theater, they're Trump supporters.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
They're maga. They're landlords.
Unknown Speaker
Landlords.
Ryan Reynolds
That's why they want a land king. But.
Unknown Speaker
Got it.
Ryan Reynolds
He went. And Grief Cat literally has a video from above. And it's a crazy angle. The angle that they. And we'll. We'll put it up here. We'll put it up here. Just so you can see the angle that she's seeing them from.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
It's like there was a moment where I was like, I feel like a president in a.
Unknown Speaker
Shouldn't. In a theater. Shouldn't have a theater.
Ryan Reynolds
There should be no angles on a president in a theater. Just historically, I mean. Hey, whoa, whoa.
Unknown Speaker
All I'm saying is, do. I've watched Les Mis enough times to think that he. He didn't understand the plot line in that movie. He was like, you know what? This cop seems like he knows what's going on.
Ryan Reynolds
Hey, that guy stole bread. He deserves to go to jail for life. In his mind, he was watching the 20 minute story of a cop who is rightfully chasing down a man for.
Unknown Speaker
That man's entire life over bread that would have gone stale and rotted by now.
Ryan Reynolds
And I've said this before on other episodes of the podcast, because the only thing. Only version of Les Mis I've ever seen.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Was the theater version with Russell Brand. The movie version. And I hated it. Yeah, I hated. I hated all of it. It was. I. It was the closest.
Unknown Speaker
Your favorite actor of all time is in that movie.
Ryan Reynolds
Which one?
Unknown Speaker
The red hair guy.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, Eddie Redmayne. Yeah. I just can't. I actually took me off guard. Saying his name actually ruined my flow.
Unknown Speaker
I'm sorry.
Ryan Reynolds
It's okay. It's not your Fault. It's Eddie Redburns now. Back. Let's. Let's go back, though, because again, see how far we've gotten. See how far we've gotten because we.
Unknown Speaker
Were talking about the breakup.
Ryan Reynolds
The breakup. Oh, the breakup. We love a breakup, folks. Because I said before and I stick by it. I still don't think it's real. I still don't think it's real.
Unknown Speaker
With a breakup, you don't think it's real?
Ryan Reynolds
I don't think it's real, no. I think for Elon, the breakup was real for a minute. Yeah, I think Elon came in and Elon tried to alpha male it. Elon listened to too many Andrew Tate podcasts. Oh, okay. Elon came in and was. I'm the big boy. I'm the big gorilla. Look at me, I'm alpha is what he was yelling with all of his tweets.
Unknown Speaker
Uh huh.
Ryan Reynolds
But in reality, we all know that he is not the silverback. He is big chested. Oh, he is at a barrel chest. He is big chested. We've all seen it.
Unknown Speaker
He's a barrel.
Ryan Reynolds
He looks like the way Rob Liefeld paints Captain America.
Unknown Speaker
I don't get that, but it's a.
Ryan Reynolds
Reference that for people who are watching on YouTube and they see on the screen, they're like, jesus Christ, look at that barrel chest on that. It is crazy. Are you seeing it now?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I googled it.
Ryan Reynolds
It's crazy how he draws a chest. Terrible artist. Invented Deadpool. Anyway, he's the creator of Deadpool.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, I never saw those movies. No, I know the Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds
He was a character.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, sorry.
Ryan Reynolds
In a comic book long before he was a movie. But no, enough. Again, we're talking about the breakup. Do you see how they do to our brains?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. In fairness, our brains are ADHD written from the Internet.
Ryan Reynolds
They are parboids.
Unknown Speaker
And then the baby scrambled them. So my brain just doesn't really.
Ryan Reynolds
And then there's this thing called anxiety that's come in that just. Just takes a little scoop every now and then. Scoop here, scoop.
Unknown Speaker
It says you don't need sleep. You could just sit up and think of the horrors.
Ryan Reynolds
We're talking about the breakup.
Unknown Speaker
I know. Okay, they're back to the breakup.
Ryan Reynolds
So back to the breakup. What happened? First, the big beautiful bill.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Which. I hate that name.
Unknown Speaker
That's such a bad name.
Ryan Reynolds
But also I hate the fact that everyone refers to it as that and not like the Republican budget plan or a spending bill or these different things. He came in, he went, it's called the Big Beautiful Bill. I want it all in one bill, folks. I want everything in one bill. And first thing, that's illegal. And second thing, fuck you.
Unknown Speaker
Also, the BBB is the Better Business Bureau. And I've got complaints.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. But also, whenever I. Whenever I hear bb, I met Big Beautiful. And I'm just like, what, Donald? What's in your search history?
Unknown Speaker
You don't even want.
Ryan Reynolds
He keeps going, Big Beautiful. I'm like, are we talking about BBWs? Are we talking about BBls? I don't think you're ready for this jelly. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what's. What's in your search history.
Unknown Speaker
Don't ever ask that of. Of Donald Trump. It's going to be real weird, you.
Ryan Reynolds
Know, Historians want to know.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, they're going to find out.
Ryan Reynolds
They're going to want to know.
Unknown Speaker
It's going to be so funny. Oh, my God. I never thought of that. Because, like, we always joke that the history books are going to be wild for our. Our lifetime, like the years we've been alive also.
Ryan Reynolds
All assuming that historians are going to be allowed to live.
Unknown Speaker
That's true. But also, if the history books, like the way that they go back and find artifacts of ancient times, they're going to go, they're going to find the servers and be like, we found his search history.
Ryan Reynolds
But that's the thing, though. Will they be able to access the servers?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, well, I could do it with Starlink right now.
Ryan Reynolds
When I was recently in North Carolina, I went to the Sully Sullenberger Museum. Okay, I know that's a weird sentence to say.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
But I went to the Sully Sullenberger Museum and I saw the plane. They landed.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
They also had artifacts. Artifacts.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
From the plane.
Unknown Speaker
Sure.
Ryan Reynolds
And it was like a person's BlackBerry, so and so's thing over here. And like, it was these small electronic devices because this was 2011. I can't remember when Sully Sullenberger was. But it was like over 10 years ago.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Some of these devices do not work anymore. That's what I'm beginning to say. And then, same thing with these servers. Once eventually the servers get unplugged, eventually the hard drives fail. Eventually these things vanish.
Unknown Speaker
Well, the good news is that all the paperwork is down in Mar a Lago in his bathroom. We got it. We'll find it.
Ryan Reynolds
You got me good. You got me good on that one. But let's get back to the breakup.
Unknown Speaker
Okay? Okay, first of all, the best part about the breakup Speaking of the Starlink, we, like, I just brought it up. Is that, like, they are so weirdly abusive to each other, like, as when they're in a relationship.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
That. You know how, like, if there's, like, a guy who's being abusive and he's, like, stalking his girlfriend and he puts, like, Apple Air tags on everything. Yeah, yeah. So, like, he knows where she is at all times. That's what he did with Starlink.
Ryan Reynolds
That's what Elon did with Starlink.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Like, he put it in the White House.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker
He was just like, I know where you're at. I know where you're at. Yeah, you're on the Epstein list.
Ryan Reynolds
I just cross referenced your location with the Epstein list, and that's just a series of pins. It's the Drake meme.
Unknown Speaker
Yes, it's the Drake. It's the White House Drake.
Ryan Reynolds
The White House Drake meme.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
It's just that. And that's how Elon tracks him. He tracks him by that and by the catheter bag serial number. Now the. Let's get back to the breakup. The big beautiful bill. The big beautiful bill, as everyone knows, is bullshit. It is going to cut services for people who need them, and it's going to give massive tax breaks to rich people. And Elon had a huge problem with this. And Elon said, I'm totally cool with cutting services for poor people who need it. I'm totally cool with all of these people dying and being in the streets and being. And all of this different stuff. But the tax cuts. A little crazy, don't you think, buddy? And he. And he started tweeting that anybody who stood with the mission of Doge. Remember Doge? Yeah, I remember stood with the Doge mission. Anybody who stood with that in Congress and voted for this is a liar. And then suddenly started seeing Congress people be like, oh, okay, I guess I hate the bill I just voted for.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And you started to see these guys have to have what, the bipolar fascism brain.
Unknown Speaker
Yep.
Ryan Reynolds
The thing they just, like, they now hate. And it's. It's very funny how Every Book, 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, all of them are happening simultaneously.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, guys, I. Come on one, guys.
Ryan Reynolds
Pick one.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
All right. Either have pigs talk. Okay. Or put a rat on my chest. Pick. I put a rat put.
Unknown Speaker
Keep your shirt on right here. Keep your shirt on.
Ryan Reynolds
Let it crawl around. I'll tell you anything you need. Do you need a promo code? Do you need to know how to get factor meals?
Unknown Speaker
Tell me, folks, I think that technically speaking, we're actually in an Octavia Butler book. We're in Parable of a Sower.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, I know.
Unknown Speaker
Because that one opens with fires in 2025 and L. A. Yeah, yeah. And then there's like, literally the. The dictator in that book. His slogan is make America great again.
Ryan Reynolds
Shut up. Really?
Unknown Speaker
Well, she predicted the whole thing.
Ryan Reynolds
Well, you know, that was actually Ronald Reagan slogan.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
That's the whole thing. We all forget. I. Listen, I know you don't. I know you don't. I know you don't.
Unknown Speaker
You know, it's funny. You know, it's funny. People on the Internet are like, why is he always so mad at Jill Stein? Why won't he let go of his hatred of Jill Stein? And I'm like, do you understand that we eat dinner and we go fuck Ronald Reagan? You know that we, every day of our lives, we spit on the ground of Nancy Reagan and go, fuck Nancy. And the same way I feel about Jill Stein as well. Okay? We are really good at holding a grudge. It's in my genetics. It's in my blood. I don't let things go. If you cross me once, they'll never be a shame on me again.
Ryan Reynolds
That's true. And she's crossed us twice. So that's why, like, that's the thing is a lot of people keep thinking, like, they keep bringing up 20, 20, 2024 election. And I'm like, baby, I'm still mad about 2016 and her.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Like, I'm still. There's things that were said and done back then. I'm still pissed off about, like, I. It's.
Unknown Speaker
But back to the breakup.
Ryan Reynolds
Back to the breakup. Back to the breakup. So Elon's tweeting and these congressmen start freaking out.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And then Elon starts. And Trump's not responding.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
For a little bit there. And then finally, at some point, I guess Trump hears something and he's like, all right, because I'm sure they had back and forth, right?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, they were key.
Ryan Reynolds
Did you see the key?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I saw the key.
Ryan Reynolds
He gave me key. It had a Reddit. Had a Reddit face on it.
Unknown Speaker
I don't. I can't.
Ryan Reynolds
It's like a. It's like a three dollar tee they got. Well, actually, now it's probably a $7 key that they got from Temu.
Unknown Speaker
Well, because of the tariffs.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. So they have this cheap key, gives them all this whole thing. When he left, let him go. And it was all very crazy. It was all very weird.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And everyone's watching it. And, like, this is kind of bizarre. And you can tell they're definitely texting back and forth in the background. And. And then whenever Trump just started. Stop responding to him. Elon just moved it to Twitter.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And he's just moving it to Twitter. He's going crazy over there. And then finally, Trump. Not on Twitter, by the way. This is where you could tell this is nothing. That ruffled his feathers a little bit.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Because when Elon bought Twitter, he made a very big deal about allowing Trump to come back. And then for months was like, six months. Trump didn't return to Twitter.
Unknown Speaker
No. Because he has Zone.
Ryan Reynolds
Because his own thing, he has true social. So Trump started posting on true social media. And on there, he was like, you want to fix the budget, folks? We can fix the budget. Let's just cut all the subsidies and contracts to Elon Musk.
Unknown Speaker
Whoa.
Ryan Reynolds
Little Elon. We'll cut the. And then Elon was like, fine, do it. Whatever. I'll pull my rockets back. I'm. And it just. The back and forth started going, and everyone's just like, okay, all right. And, like, if it had been that. If that was it, if that was it, everyone would have been happy. Like, that was enough. But when it's the Vince McMahon meme, you know the one.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Where he, like, gets. He starts screaming.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. Yeah. It's like him. And it's a. And then his eyes cross. He rolls over when he was like, the reason the Epstein files haven't been released is because Donald Trump's name is on the Epstein files.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Have a nice day, Donald J. Trump. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Unknown Speaker
I think we were all just walking around the house, like, whoa.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. And meanwhile, like, tell Williams is like, what's going on? We're like, you got to go, buddy. You're a great guest. Thank you so much for two hours of fun with you.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
The last fun times anyone ever had was listening to that pod.
Unknown Speaker
Goodbye.
Ryan Reynolds
But. But. So that we're all like, what the fuck is going on? And then it still keeps going back and forth a little bit. And then. Then the press start asking Trump. And then Elon just goes quiet.
Unknown Speaker
Oh.
Ryan Reynolds
And that's when we all knew he was. He. He was. He was dropping.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
He was doping.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
He was ketamine. He was on the cat. He was on. He was on the. Yay.
Unknown Speaker
Yep.
Ryan Reynolds
He was doing the stuff. Oh, I have an Allegedly button. I am not pushing. I have this button, though. So I. That. There was a moment I said that night I went on TikTok live and I said it. I said, I think Elon jumped the shark.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Because a few other things came out that night where a few people were like, Donald Trump should be impeached because of the big beautiful bill. We should impeach Donald Trump and then we should replace him with J.D. vance. And Elon went, yep, like that idea.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And where was J.D. vance this entire time?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, that's where he was forgotten at school.
Ryan Reynolds
No, even worse, guess where JD Vance was.
Unknown Speaker
Not in Rome.
Ryan Reynolds
He was on the Theo Von podcast. Son of a bitch. He was on the Theo Vaughn podcast. Oh, the Vice President of the United States was on the Theo Vaughn podcast. And what did Theo ask him about? Theo looked at Theo fucking Vaughn was like, hey buddy, what about Gaza? I've said it's a genocide. Oh, you've said it's a genocide. Theo Vaughn, you've said. You fucking said.

Unknown Speaker
We weren't going to talk about the Ovan anymore and his class traitor ness.
Ryan Reynolds
But then he did it again.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, of course he can't stop.
Ryan Reynolds
He got up and did it again and. But so did Joe. Because when this whole thing with the breakup happened, as many of you know, many of you listening to this, the FBI director, Cash Patel.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
Was on Joe Rogan's podcast because Joe Rogan's podcast is state run media now.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Joe Rogan's podcast, like Joe Rogan is 100%. Whenever, when you are watching federal mass troops rip children from their homes, when you are seeing tear gas in the street, when you're seeing any of these things, please remember that this is all brought to you by Joe Rogan.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
That this is all part of their entire operation. And that he is nothing more than the Tokyo Rose. That's it. He's, he's, he's Austin Rose. He's just down there just spitting out propaganda, asking. Oh, I'm just gonna. This is where I get all my questions from. And I'm noticing that he's trying to now crop up. Joe Rogan specifically is now trying to grow a whole new crop of influencers who are just asking questions about so many things.
Unknown Speaker
But they never ask questions directly.
Ryan Reynolds
He.
Unknown Speaker
They all have a front seat to people that are in actual power. They never ask actual questions.
Ryan Reynolds
And in this case, literally, Cash Patel, the FBI director, is sitting across from him at a table.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
The same way you're sitting across from me.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
It pings. Oh, shit. Elon Musk just said that Donald Trump's in the Epstein files. And Cash Patel, the FBI director who is in charge of the Epstein files, said, oh, that's, that's out of my lane. It's your whole job. It's your whole lane. And here's what's crazy. We have hours Hours of footage of Cash Patel, who had a podcast because all. Of course he fucking did him. Dan Bongino, the assistant FBI director and others. All of them talking about, repeatedly about the Epstein files and how when they get in power, when we get in power, folks, we're gonna rip those Epstein files open. When we're in power, they're gonna know everything. And what's the first thing they did? They got into power and they go, nothing in there. That guy killed himself. Turned out it was a nothing burger.
Unknown Speaker
Oh. Yep. Mm.
Ryan Reynolds
Because they were on the outside sitting there going, whatever we need. Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for a decade. Those are the exact words of Jeffrey Epstein. We have them on tape.
Unknown Speaker
Yep.
Ryan Reynolds
Donald Trump knew all of this shit the entire time.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
He knew all of this shit the entire time. There's an interview with. With Donald Trump talking about, I think, dating or women or something like that. And in it he said, oh, yeah, Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, he likes him a little young. So he knew.
Unknown Speaker
So he knew and was still his.
Ryan Reynolds
Friends and was still friends with him. Never said, hey, never said once. Maybe that guy should go to jail. No, not once.
Unknown Speaker
Let me get a free ride on the plane with RFK Jr. He loves flying around on planes with him and Bill Cosby.
Ryan Reynolds
RFK Jr. Claimed one time he was doing that to go on a fossil hunt.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, wow. I just thought of the darkest joke in the world. I'm not going to say it means.
Ryan Reynolds
To date 26 year olds.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, God.
Ryan Reynolds
But that's what this is. These are the guys. And so when I'm seeing these people, I'm seeing a lot of the RFK guys who would say all this bullshit on TikTok and on Instagram and on Twitter. They're all trying to pretend that RFK has nothing to do with any of this. He's at the table. Yeah, he's at the table. He's in the cabinet. Open the. Open the doors to the cabinet. What's looking back at you? It's rfk. Hello, kids. Hi. I'm gonna take away your vaccines and send you to a farm. He's right there, so stop pretending. All these MAGA guys I got. Speaking of rfk.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
I got served a fucking ad for that weird blue shit that turns your brain. I got served an ad for that on.
Unknown Speaker
You got a TikTok shop ad for that?
Ryan Reynolds
I've been getting TikTok Shop ad for that blue stuff that RFK drinks.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
And gas masks. That's literally. That's where we are. That's where we are. Hey, come get, come get health advice from TikTok shop. But make sure you buy your gas mask because if you say the wrong thing in the wrong fucking neighborhood while ice is rolling through, you might not be able to breathe. And we haven't figured out the harmonic frequency yet to harmonically heal your. Your lungs from tear gas exposure. God, I'm so.
Unknown Speaker
All right, I was just thinking that Harry Styles Sign of the Times would be a great song right here, but we can't clear that song.
Ryan Reynolds
Can't afford it. If we wanted stuff like that, then people would have to join us at promania500.net at the Fed tier level. Yeah, because if you're a fed. Listen, I don't know of how much data. I don't know if Palantir is completely online yet. Would you know about Palantir?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I know that they're from the Lord of the Rings.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, it's the ball from Lord of the Rings.
Unknown Speaker
The eyeball.
Ryan Reynolds
No. Oh, it is owned by the eyeball.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay, so it's an or. Okay. Palantir.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
In Lord of the. We're going to start with Lord of the Rings. We'll start with what is in Lord of the Rings.
Unknown Speaker
All right.
Ryan Reynolds
And then we're going to move into what it is in the real world now.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, great.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay.
Unknown Speaker
I love this, cuz.
Ryan Reynolds
Because this is all coming together. Speaking of influencer networks. Ready for it?
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
And this is the part, by the way, to our. To all the pearl maniacs out there. Hi. This is the part where you begin to feel like explaining it to a friend makes you sound insane.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay. Explaining this to someone will make you sound completely fucking nuts. Palantir in Lord of the Rings is a ball. It's a crystal ball that Sauron, the Dark Lord, before he was known to be evil, gave to all these different other major players inside of Middle Earth in the book. Okay, okay. Then when he was evil, it was discovered he was using it to spy because it's like a scrying orb. Okay, okay. You know like when a wizard's like holding his ball and he's like watching the hero walk?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, it's just like one of those Amazon things in your grandparents house that listens in all the time. Oh, what, the Amazon thing where the Alexa. Alexa. It's an Alexa.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay. Yeah. It's. No, it's not like that. It is, but it isn't. Okay, that's what I'm saying is. Yes, it is. Listening to you all the time and that's what this is. Palantir, though, is also a Panopticon, meaning it can see everything in the world.
Unknown Speaker
So the Nest camera.
Ryan Reynolds
No, it's worse. It is taking the Alexa, it's taking the Nest camera, it's taking your Tesla data, it's taking your Google Maps, it's scraping all of it and putting it together inside of a giant file that is labeled for each of us. And now with Doge, it's mixing it in with your Social Security information, your health information, and others. It's taking all of this and building massive data files about each individual resident of the planet Earth.
Unknown Speaker
So Sauron did that. What planet?
Ryan Reynolds
They're on Middle Earth.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, so they were on Middle Earth. So Sauron did that about all the guys that he was watching?
Ryan Reynolds
Kind of.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, sure. You threw me off a little bit.
Unknown Speaker
Actually, I was trying to get back because I don't really know that much.
Ryan Reynolds
About Lord of the Ring. So in the thing, they find it at one point, and one of the. One of the hobbits touches it, and that's how Sauron knows where they are. Oh, he uses it. If you touch it, he can see you.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
And the thing is, in our digital world, there's no way to not touch it.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, you can't turn that off.
Ryan Reynolds
We're all touching a Palantir. Now, the Palantir is the name of a company that's owned by Peter Thiel.
Unknown Speaker
I remember you told me about him.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
He's an evil bad guy.
Ryan Reynolds
He is a other. He is the other boyfriend.
Unknown Speaker
Accidentally fell out a window.
Ryan Reynolds
Yep. He is the other evil South African tech billionaire who worked at.
Unknown Speaker
Why are there so many.
Ryan Reynolds
Why are there so many evil South African tech billionaires?
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
Because Obama was a failure.
Unknown Speaker
Wait, what?
Ryan Reynolds
Listen, it's just sometimes we gotta look ourselves in the mirror and go, wow, wow, wow. There's moments like that. Okay, so in this case, Peter Thiel has put together this tech company, Palantir.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
And Palantir is going around scraping all this data, is what I'm saying.
Unknown Speaker
So he knew what this orb meant, and he. That was his goal. To be the bad guy in the movie the Sauron.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes. All these guys, and I told you about this in a prior episode, about all these different billionaires are taking things from Lord of the Rings, and then they're naming. They're taking the names that they like from that, and then they're naming their company after it, and they're making it the full drive. The actual CEO of Palantir is also fucking nuts.
Unknown Speaker
Who's that?
Ryan Reynolds
I don't remember his name off the top of my head, but he is a insane lunatic Zionist who is currently. Palantir Tech is currently being used, especially their AI side of things is currently being used in Gaza to target the members of the population. Because the Israelis have an entire dossier on every single person in Gaza. And so they fed all of that through AI and they've been using that to track people. It's also what's being used to put inside the drones so that way they can quickly identify people's faces. There are people who are in Gaza right now, especially who work in the hospitals and things like that, who get daily visits from drones. What? Instead of a soldier going door to door, a drone flies up to their window and it makes a noise. And if they don't answer the window, they'll airstrike them.
Unknown Speaker
Jesus Christ.
Ryan Reynolds
This is what. This is what we're looking at.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And so in these moments, you get like, ha, ha. But again, you sound nuts when you say this. This is going to happen here. And people like, no, it isn't. It's like everything that's tested. The story of fascism is that everything that's tested in the colonies always comes home throughout history. If you want to look. If you want to look at what's happening here, a lot of people keep going to 1930s Germany. You should also really look at Spain and Francisco Francois, the fascist dictator of Spain. He didn't lose power, he died of old age. But, like, he was very big and that with the end of the Spanish empire, he was a colonel or something like that in Morocco because Morocco was a Spanish colony. And so he learned how to suppress a population and how to bend them to his will. He turned into Grand North Tarkin. We can rule them through fear. They aren't going to love us. So then they should fear us. Either way, they're out of our. We can do whatever we want and they're not in our way. Yeah, that was the plan. And then when they. He pulled him back from the colony and brought him back to mainland Spain, he said, well, we'll just do that fastest. We'll do that here.
Unknown Speaker
Great.
Ryan Reynolds
That's what they're going to do. And Gaza is the ultimate right now testing ground for what you can do to a population. What you're seeing right now in the streets of L. A are all things that were tested in the streets of Baghdad and to Crete and Afghanistan. This is. You are seeing ICE agents riding MRAPs. Those are mine resistance personnel troop carriers that we stopped using in Baghdad. Those big. These big fucking things, these tanks, they. They trigger crowds to believing that they're in a fight already.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
To the point that the US military discontinued using them in those conflict zones because they realized they were causing more riots than they were stopping.
Unknown Speaker
And then we gave them the cops.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes. Because we had to do something with them or else it's a waste of money.
Unknown Speaker
So we militarized our police force.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes. So we've militarized our police force.
Unknown Speaker
Mm.
Ryan Reynolds
That's 100% what we did. And then you add in now what we're gonna do, the next level. And the next level is going to be data intelligence sharing. And what you're seeing now in la, a lot of people were really confused. Oh, why'd they burn a Waymo? Why'd they burn Waymos?
Unknown Speaker
I know why they burned away.
Ryan Reynolds
You go ahead and tell me.
Unknown Speaker
Well, because the Waymos, just like the Teslas, they have cameras all over them.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
Like the cybertrucks have cameras on the outside, which is why you shouldn't smash a cybertruck, because there's a camera looking at you, recording it. That will definitely get sent to the police. And the Waymos, because they have to drive driverless, they have cameras on all the exterior parts.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
So if a big company, like, I don't know, Google owns Waymo, then they can drive them through the city without a person at risk inside and. And send all of the videos of all of the protesters on the street back to the police. Because Google's been known to give out things to the police without warrants.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, the police, the FBI.
Unknown Speaker
I don't know. The allegedly button on that one. I don't know.
Ryan Reynolds
There's no allegedly button on that one. It's known. Yeah, yeah. Waymos are cops. Waymos are cops. Like, that's the thing, is that. That people are only beginning to understand, but also a lot of people don't even know that Waymo is Google.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And then you're like, well, Google is. They say, how to add a slogan. Do no evil, baby. They took that down.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. They said, we can't promise that anymore. We got AI now.
Ryan Reynolds
And then I'll remind you, type in. Go to Google Image search and type in billionaires, Trump administrator, Trump inauguration.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
If you go in there, who you gonna see standing together in a line? You're gonna see Elon. You're gonna see Jeff Bezos. You're going to see Jeff Bezos, girlfriend's big titties. And you're going to see Mark Zuckerberg and you're also going to see the CEO of Google whose name I forget.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Because he is smarter than the rest. Where he doesn't put his name out there.
Unknown Speaker
Sundar Pichai.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes, that's him. He doesn't, he isn't. He doesn't try to be the Tim Cook who was also there. Who?
Unknown Speaker
Some.
Ryan Reynolds
Also there. Tim Apple. The CEO of Apple.
Unknown Speaker
The Apple guy.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, he was also there. He just wasn't sitting in that row.
Unknown Speaker
Got it.
Ryan Reynolds
The CEO of TikTok.
Unknown Speaker
Put me in the back.
Ryan Reynolds
The CEO of TikTok was also there.
Unknown Speaker
Oh yeah. Well, after Trump saved TikTok.
Ryan Reynolds
Trump saved.
Unknown Speaker
I remember that notice.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
Hours after they put up the notice that it was going to end.
Ryan Reynolds
But tech, which is why this is why I think Elon jumped the gun.
Unknown Speaker
So you believe again, tinfoil hat time.
Ryan Reynolds
Tinfoil hat.
Unknown Speaker
You think that the tech guys installed Trump on purpose and now they're gonna try to uninstall him, to reinstall their JD Vance puppet boy who will do what they say, no questions asked, without all the blustering and the yelling and the ego. And they have a plan to do that. But Elon did too much ketamine and did it too soon. He jumped the shark, as you said. And he actually fucked up the timeline that they had planned.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
I also think that it's not all of them. I don't know who's in and who's out.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
When you sit there and look at them all together, but you can get a kind of. You can kind of get a feeling. None of them know. Listen, not a single one of them is going to pretend. I mean not a single one of them doesn't know that this is happening. It's a matter of which ones are at which meetings. Because here's the thing about billionaires. I've heard a lot of people talk and we've talked before and I think I've mentioned this on the show, but again, my brain is mush.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Between the anxiety and between the. The baby and between the age and everything else just going on cycle, all of this different stuff, my brain is turning into mush. So back in the day when you had the big tycoons, the railroad magnets. The magnets, the Carnegie's.
Unknown Speaker
Right.
Ryan Reynolds
When you had these different guys. Sure. They killed thousands and whatever. And they're evil. They still had to move through town. They still had to often walk through town. They still had a town they lived in.
Unknown Speaker
Yep.
Ryan Reynolds
They still had places that they went and they still could be touched. And NDAs were. Were different.
Unknown Speaker
Yep.
Ryan Reynolds
And they still went to parties and were seen. Now, they didn't always want to be front and center. They weren't like Elon with the chainsaw screaming, comedy is legal again. You didn't hear that.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
From a steel baron.
Unknown Speaker
No. He was very busy.
Ryan Reynolds
But a steel baron knew because he. Part of being rich was having at least the people in the town know that he's the steel baron because he has a town he has to run to have the steel mill. Right.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And so in these situations, they still had to walk through town. So there was a certain level of, like, there's a free market that you had to go to.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Our free market now is digital. We don't know who's on the other. Other end of the buying and selling, we're assuming, based on what, ebay ratings. Oh, he had five stars. He got five stars. So this guy's definitely going to sell me my vintage Darth Vader figure so I can send him $30 first. Yep. I said in 1998, where I first believed in Internet commerce.
Unknown Speaker
Yep.
Ryan Reynolds
But now here we are. It's 2025. Do you believe Amazon ratings? No, it's 2025. Do you believe Apple podcast ratings? You should.
Unknown Speaker
You should leave us five stars and leave us a nice, nice comment on Apple podcasts. Like, or Spotify, wherever you're listening. Honestly.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, wherever you are.
Unknown Speaker
Like and subscribe.
Ryan Reynolds
Like and subscribe. But like, in all of these cases, they. The. We now know that it's. It's botnets. We now know it's SEO. We now know all we.
Unknown Speaker
We as in the. You, the younger millennials and younger.
Ryan Reynolds
I know. I think we as in people who are basically between the ages of 30 and 45.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Because I'm seeing it more and more where we have. By we. I'm 40. Our little cohort is trapped in this weird bubble where we were there as the tech came on, so we knew how it was made, and we were there as the tech got easier. And we have a generation of people behind us who are just used to clicky, clicky, put the button. I don't need. I need to know how to use it. I don't need to know why it does what it does or how it works.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
As we have, as we online, a new generation of adults who completely went through college using chat GPT.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
As we online, a new generation of people who, when they think of the Internet, they think of Their phone. They don't think of a desktop, they don't think of a laptop, they don't think of having to go to the library. They don't think of a server farm.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
When you tell them it's in the cloud, they think it's literally in the clouds.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And so that marketing and those type of things is like when, as I've tried to explain to people, that even comment sections are now algorithms that are choosing to show you what you will be most engaged with.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
So if they know you don't like what's happening in L. A, there are more. They're going to either choose to show you comments that vehemently agree with you so you feel like you're not alone in a movement, or they're going to show you comments that vehemently disagree with you. So that way you stay engaged on the app, fighting with a stranger who probably is, guess what is not real.
Unknown Speaker
Probably a bot from Moldova.
Ryan Reynolds
It's probably at this point now a bot from the actual social media company. You're using yourself.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Because Mark Zuckerberg, Meta, and others are now beginning to do this. And again, if this was 10 years ago and I told you that Facebook is putting fake people on there to make you mad at your neighbors, man. So that way you stay engaged and use Facebook Marketplace, you would go, you're in a fucking nut job. But now, as I say that, you're like, well, hold on.
Unknown Speaker
That sounds right.
Ryan Reynolds
Let's wait a quarter and see if they actually announced that during their investor meeting. Because they basically are now.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. I was gonna say, when you were saying, like, we have the younger generation that is so used to point and click, but we're sandwiched on the other side by the other generation that literally tried to put the fear of God in us, like, don't do that on the Internet. It's. Internet's gonna get you. And they fall for everything now. And now they don't understand A.I.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
So it's like A.I. chachi beat. Like, I have a older family relative who had the Chat GPT app on their phone. And they were like, yeah, I just. I just type in here. And when I need to, like, ask it a question, I use it like Google. And I was like, who told you to do that?
Ryan Reynolds
You also use Google. Like Google.
Unknown Speaker
I know, but I was like, who told you to do that? And they were. They were like, oh, I saw a YouTube short that said, why ChatGPT is a better search engine. And so without question, they just downloaded it on Their phone.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
And I was like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna need you to delete that.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Because we need our drinking water. Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
YouTube shorts owned by Google. Hey. Hopping Waymos. Hey, wait, let's make it. Let's, let's. At the end of the segment, let's. Let's cut a quick YouTube short.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Hey, guys, Waymos are super cool. Stop burning them. They're just there to help. Remember to smile. All right. There we go. Make that a YouTube short.
Unknown Speaker
It's going to get a million.
Ryan Reynolds
Engagement.
Unknown Speaker
It's going to get a million.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. And then we'll get Google AdSense money to pay us.
Unknown Speaker
Hell yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. That's how it's going.
Unknown Speaker
Don't watch the rest of this episode though. Google.
Ryan Reynolds

Drivers who switch and save with progressive could save hundreds. With that kind of money, you could go big time on a fancy water bottle with ultra titanium alloy metal. You're not sure why you need all that. I mean, it just holds water, but you're getting it anyway. Because if you're hiking near an active volcano and you accidentally drop the bottle into molten lava, your water will still be icy cold. Switch to progressive and you could save big time for water bottles. Progressive Casualty Insurance company and affiliates not available in all states. Potential savings will vary.
Ryan Reynolds
There has never been a more important time ever to have a VPN right now. And I highly, highly recommend to you using ExpressVPN. The reason why is because it can help you save just so many different ways. Heartaches and anxieties. Because, yeah, sure, people use things like the incognito tab, but that, that doesn't actually hide what you think it does. I've been using ExpressVPN especially since last year. It was once I started going on tour, I would go to different hotels and I would be in these other different places. And you never know what type of server I'm logging into or any of these different things. So ExpressVPN helped protect me wherever I went, on my phone, on my laptop, or.

Unknown Speaker
Oh, we forgot they broke up.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, we forgot they broke up.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, my God.
Ryan Reynolds
We were still trying to. We were trying to hold on to the joy, and then I started talking about the surveillance stage.
Unknown Speaker
It happened. This is what happens to everyone. This is why we can't focus on anything.
Ryan Reynolds
I know.
Unknown Speaker
Because there's so many things happening all the time. They do this on purpose also, I.
Ryan Reynolds
Want to say they're not distractions.
Unknown Speaker
No. It's just terrible things happening all the time.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know. I know, but. But I see a lot of people. Like when the breakup happened.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Between Trump and Elon people. What are they distracting us from now? They're not. They're not. These are dumb rich people who can do any whim and are surrounded by toadies who will do anything they want. Right. So they can do so many. I cannot stress to you, so many evil things at the same time.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
It's called multitasking.
Unknown Speaker
They also have a staff to help them do all their evil things.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, that's. Evil toadies.
Unknown Speaker
What are the. The evil toadies in Lord of the Rings called?
Ryan Reynolds
Orcs. Oh, they're orcs and goblins.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. Like, literally, like, that's their orcs.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Have you not watched Lord of the Rings?
Unknown Speaker
I watched Liv Tyler in Lord of the Rings.
Ryan Reynolds
That's how you remember Lord of the Rings.
Unknown Speaker
Liv Tyler film that you view live.
Ryan Reynolds
You. You view. Look me in the eye.
Unknown Speaker
I'm looking me right now looking you in the eyes.
Ryan Reynolds
You view Lord of the Rings.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
As a Liv Tyler film.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, it's a Liv Tyler film.
Ryan Reynolds
Empire Records is a Liv Tyler film.
Unknown Speaker
That's a Renee Zellweger film. If it's anything.
Ryan Reynolds
Armageddon is a Liv Tyler film.
Unknown Speaker
That's. I feel like Steven Tyler took it over with the song. I. I don't. I've never seen the movies all the way through.
Ryan Reynolds
I just want, you know, saying. Yeah, if we weren't so close to the end of probably everything, I would leave you, but right now, I. I don't know how to cook a lot of stuff using, like, fire in a pot. You know what I mean? Like, I'm very much of, like, listen, I need society to exist just enough to power a microwave. Okay. Because that's how I live.
Unknown Speaker
I know. We got them. Factor meals, baby.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. Or I have to listen to you more closely during vibing with the food. Idiot.
Unknown Speaker
You're not going to do that.
Ryan Reynolds
No. Our podcast that you can only do.
Unknown Speaker
On our Patreon this Live Tyler film. Live Tyler, I have not seen all the way through. I think it's like something I see in passing every once I like. You'll have it on or somebody has it on.
Ryan Reynolds
I'm going to change you to a desk and make you watch the. The extended edition of all three movies.
Unknown Speaker
Remember that time there was a tick tock that was very popular where it was like a guy and a gal on a couch watching a movie and they're like, he's like trying not to explain this scene to your girlfriend and it was this guy kicking a helmet or something and I, I didn't get it and I was, I, I held the phone to you and I said, why is this funny? And then I think you tried to explain it to me for like 15 to 20 minutes. And I said, okay, great. From the Liv Tyler movie.
Ryan Reynolds
The government, the United States federal government is currently, as we speak, kidnapping people from the streets. And what you just said to me is the most upsetting thing that I've had to process. Okay.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
I just want you to know that.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, but back to the breakup, okay? The breakup, the movie with Jennifer Aniston and that guy, what's his name? No, no, it was the. Vince. Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn. Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay. Hi.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
How are you?
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
You're really, you're really getting me. You're getting me good right now. And I'm the only one on camera.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Don't give me thumbs up. Yeah, you look okay. No, listen. Okay, okay, let's talk about L. A.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Because I think it's important to talk about la. It's very important to talk about LA because it's also happening all over the rest of the country. And we recording this before June 14th.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
June 14th is going. Is Flag day in the United States. It is also the birthday of the US Armed forces. Donald Trump is holding a massive military parade and it's also his birthday. And there has been, there are going to be protests that I think 1400, 1600 protests across the United States. For our foreign viewers and listeners, many of you have asked repeatedly, why doesn't the United States, why didn't they see mass protests the same way you do in France or the same way you do in other countries? I need you to understand something. United States is a massive country.
Unknown Speaker
Huge.
Ryan Reynolds
We are a massive, diverse country. That is incredibly Spread out and has been designed to not let mass protest work the way that they could work in the. Historically, in other places in the United States, a big mass protest might help move a state government and it might help move city governments. But when it comes to everything, we're so spread out.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Our food is far, far, far from our city centers. And now our city centers, which are huge population centers, are also been dispersed out into the suburbs. So things that were possible back in the 1880s when we've covered things in the 1920s, and those things because of suburbanization, because of the spread of the car culture and other things, they become more difficult, and there are less choke points for protesters to be able to take over. So what you're seeing is right now in L. A was people trying desperately to stop ICE raids. And those ICE raids are getting purposely more provocative. Yeah, they are trying. And by they, I mean Stephen Miller, who is a chief White House adviser whose wife apparently has left him for Elon Musk, which is like, what?
Unknown Speaker
That's crazy. That's. And he tweeted that he was like that. Like, I took your wife.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. No, I don't know if that was true.
Unknown Speaker
You know, it's real.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know if it's real because, again, it was in the deleted thing. But yeah, because she was. She came on and was working on Doge and there's a whole rumor. And again, all of this got buried because again, we're watching Marrying Stephen Miller, though Gross had three kids. Ew. Yeah. Because she's. Here's the thing, and we've said this before, I'm not going to go into the whole trying to say Melania is not part of it.
Unknown Speaker
No, they're part of it.
Ryan Reynolds
Or Usha isn't part of it. Katie Miller, Steve Miller's wife, is just as evil as he is. Yeah, they're all evil. Okay. The biggest difference. Can I tell you what we've. What we have now is we have where the difference between 1930s Germany and here is here. We allow women to be powerful Nazis, too. Yeah, it was. And we give them positions of power. Hell, Kristi Noem is currently running up just such a hair extensions budget for the Department of Homeland Security. Okay.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, no. She got that new face. She got that new hair.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
And she's making it everybody else's fucking problem.
Ryan Reynolds
It is crazy for her to be screaming that we need to get brown people out of the country as she has Indian hair hanging from the back of her head.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. With a spray tan, thick Thick spray.
Ryan Reynolds
Tan so she can look. Try to look desperately like an Armenian Kardashian. Now, in the back to the ICE raids, they're being intentionally done to provocate. That's why when I hear from groups like Latinos for Trump and say, this isn't what we voted for, baby. There were signs. Yeah, they held up giant signs that said mass deportations. Now, they held them up at rallies. There were thousands of them. There were billboards that went across the country. It was there. Yeah, you heard that he said that he was only going to deport criminals. But first thing, he never said that. You decided that. He said that. You added that in. But also he said that criminals were. Anybody who was Mexican. Like, it's just right there.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And so to now, what none of them seem to realize is if they're going after people who are, quote, illegal aliens, right, and they're illegal aliens or anyone that they can visually believe is not part of the United States, then that means if you aren't white or. Or black, then you need to have your papers because you need to carry on them to 100% of the time because you need to prove to some man wearing a gator and a. And a vest that you can buy on Amazon and an Avengers T shirt tucked into a belt loop that also has his phone clipped to it next to a gun, and for some reason, nine fucking magazines Velcroed to his chest. You need to prove your citizenship to him right now. And if you can't, you're gonna spend the next. How many days? How many days?
Unknown Speaker
Weeks? Months?
Ryan Reynolds
How many? And this is where we are now. And so now they're like, we're getting rounded up where these. Yes, this was all. This was always the plan. And Steve Miller is the one who was screaming at them as his wife left them, as all the shit with Elon was going on and others. He was the one who went to ice. He went to dhs. He went into their meetings and was screaming, why aren't you raiding Home Depot? Yeah, on the east coast, we don't have this as much, at least in our area, where when you go to a Home Depot, there aren't day laborers waiting around at the wings. Maybe there are. And I just. I don't go to Home Depot early enough to see them. But it is much more of a West coast thing and a Deep south thing of, like, that's a place you can go to find day laborers. And they just stand on the side. And then somebody pulls up and says, I need five Guys to dig or whatever. And so that's where they're rating. And people are then that they do this and they do it on a Saturday. And why did they do it on a Saturday? Why didn't they do it on a Wednesday at 9? They did it on a Saturday because they wanted people to see them doing it.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
And they wanted them to see. They wanted people who typically wouldn't be at a Home Depot during regular business hours to see them doing it.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. They wanted the weekend moms and dads.
Ryan Reynolds
Mm. This is all a provocation, and it was all a provocation to get people into the streets. So then Trump could push more to an authoritarian side, which is why I say, if, you know it's a trap, that means it's a confrontation. Now, Right. Like from the terrible movie Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
Unknown Speaker
I was going to say. Did you just go the worst movie we've watched in, like, months? Yeah, yeah, that was the worst movie.
Ryan Reynolds
It was.
Unknown Speaker
Why was it so fleshy?
Ryan Reynolds
It was so bad. It was. They just. They just did it. It was. It was. I loved Guardians 1. I love the fuck out of Guardians 2. Guardians 3. I was like, whatever, man.
Unknown Speaker
I knew it was doomed because they opened with Radiohead.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. But there is a part. There's a part where if you're in an abusive relationship with somebody is the way we are now currently with this presidency and the executive branch especially, but growingly, the United States government. If you're in an abusive relationship and your abusive spouse throws water in your face and you punch them back and then they punch that. Where are we?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Throwing water on somebody is actually assault, because I've seen protesters get arrested for throwing water on cops. So that's assault. Okay, so then you assault back, and then they assault. Double plus. Good. Like, it's just like, where. Where we end up in this cycle. And I'm seeing a lot of people tell people how to. This is how you need to do. This is how you need to put no pro. If you're gonna go out, if you're gonna be. If you are brave enough to go out, go out how you want to go out in the streets. Go out how you want to go out. Carry the message you want to carry. I'm tired of seeing people don't carry Mexican flags. Don't do this, baby. They are arresting them because they're brown. They are rounding people up because they're brown. They're holding up the Mexican flag. While it is a foreign national flag. It is also the flag of. Of A people. There is no other flag for them to hold up, and they are proud. If. If I. If I saw somebody carrying an Irish flag, I saw people be like, oh, oh. You know, people carry Irish flags and Italian flags, and we don't have a problem with that. And then racists come back, be like, well, Irish and Italians aren't out here in the street. Yes, they were. Yes, they were. They just didn't do it in your lifetime. And in Technicolor. They didn't do it in 4K and a live stream. Our brains are being cooked. All of this is a show, but not a show in the way that some people are going to push on you. It's not. It's. It's. I'm just letting you know that right now there are wheels within wheels that are happening, that are psychological operations that are being done at so many different levels, and now they are not unified. There are pro. Like, there are activists that want protesters in the streets. Yes. There are activists. There are billionaires who want the government to have full authoritarian control, and so they're pushing this. There is a government that wants full authoritarian control. There are people who. Who are willing to spend money to try to stop this from happening. There are so many different things. What you are seeing right now is called partisanship. And what we may see is what's called Balkanization, and that's where it gets crazy. And that's for a whole other podcast.
Unknown Speaker
Can I say something, though?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
In all of this.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
The Democrats are feckless cowards.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
I haven't heard from them. Except for our. Our very own evil villain Newsom, which he's ours. Okay. That's our bad guy. Yeah, that's our bad guy. Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
I saw somebody be like, gavin Newsom cares about people the way vampires care about people. Their resource. He cards. I was like, no, exactly.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
But in all of this, I saw.
Ryan Reynolds
Somebody say, Gavin Newsom hates two things, homeless people and Republicans, and he's all out of homeless people.
Unknown Speaker
Jesus Christ. So he's our evil guy. But every where the. Is everybody else?
Ryan Reynolds
I'll say right now, where's Josh Shapiro? Yeah, I'll say right now I'm a big fan of his. And I, you know, I've.
Unknown Speaker
I've said, where are all the governors yelling? Where all. They wrote a letter. That's writing a letter.
Ryan Reynolds
No, that's what I mean, though. It's like none of them. And. And I'll tell you why. What a bunch of them are doing right now, a bunch of them are doing wait and see. Yeah, a lot of them are doing wait and see right now. And that's a fucking. Here's the thing, governors. If you wait to see one of two things going to happen. Number one, you're going to wait too long. Number two, you're going to prove you're not leading at all, that you're not a leader. And another movement will take the lead for you. Other leaders will take the lead for you. There's been sayings in the past and statistics and studies about how many people it takes for a revolution, right? Yeah, three and a half, four percent, something like that. That's what they say. And in that it, people need to get organized at a local level and they need to be able to protect their communities at home. And the first step for that is to find out who your neighbors are. The second step of that is to find out where you can do local organizing. And again, we've talked about it before. Your library, the food bank, fuck it. Local church, there's gotta be one. There's gotta at least be one church around you.
Unknown Speaker
There's a Unitarian Church.
Ryan Reynolds
There's something around you, but there's just places that you can go. You can look to different people, places, organizations and things. What is your friend? Network? Who are all these different things? When the shit hits the fan, What? What are you protecting? Who are you protecting? Why are you protecting it? That's what you need to know. And you need to be able to say that back. Not only to a fucking reporter who will throw a camera in your face after you get hit by a rubber bullet, you need to say it to yourself in the mirror. You need to be able to say to yourself why you're doing this. I know why for me, but why for you? Figure that out. We'll be right back after this.
Unknown Speaker
Drivers who switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds. With that kind of money, you could go big time on a fancy water bottle with ultra titanium alloy metal. You're not sure why you need all that. I mean, it just holds water. But you're getting it anyway. Because if you're hiking near an active volcano and you accidentally drop the bottle into molten lava, your water will still be icy cold. Switch to Progressive and you could save big time for water bottles. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates not available in all states. Potential savings will vary.
Hey, babe. Did you know that the Sydney Sweeney soap has a hole in it?
Ryan Reynolds
You know what's sad? But I did know that. I didn't ask to know it. I didn't Ask to know that the Sydney Sweeney bath water soap even existed.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And I will say it does show how hard fringes can be mainstreamed because think the bathwater, I think that was Belle Delphine.
Unknown Speaker
It was like the streamers, right? The girls in the bathtubs.
Ryan Reynolds
But no. Yeah, but she the. The one who did the. The selling the bathwater first. I think it was Belle Delphine.
Unknown Speaker
I don't know.
Ryan Reynolds
She was like a streamer who also had only fans.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know if she still does stuff. I don't follow it that closely. I just knew when the bathwater shit hit, I first heard about it because somebody got sick drinking it.
Unknown Speaker
They drank it.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. They sold the actual bath water and these little like Mason jars ship it to people. And then somebody got sick. It was just water soap in it. It didn't even matter. It's just water in a jar. It was untreated water in a. Not in a poorly sealed jar that was mailed. That was then mailed and then in a hot post. So by the time they got it, it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter if that was tap water and nobody sat in it. You know what I mean? So the fact that we've gone from that, which I want to say was like almost a decade ago, right, to today where a big star like Sydney Sweeney Partner.
Unknown Speaker
Bath water.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. That they put it inside of a bar of soap. And then I was like, that's gross. And then like it was a couple. I heard that and I was like, gross. And that was my reaction.
Unknown Speaker
I don't know if it's true. I just keep seeing it on TikTok.
Ryan Reynolds
That's. Well, that's the same thing that happened to me. It's just the. It was one of those things of just like, look, it's weird.
Unknown Speaker
You know what though? This I'm gonna find. I'm gonna find the silver lining in. In this.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay.
Unknown Speaker
Is that I'm excited that the boys that are into this type of thing, I'm excited they're getting soap. I feel like it's. It's hot in the summer.
Ryan Reynolds
Yep.
Unknown Speaker
We gotta keep ourselves washed up. And those boys are notorious for not being washed up.

Too Many Tabs with Pearlmania500
Episode: They're All Watching You | TMT #132
Release Date: June 15, 2025
In episode #132 of Too Many Tabs with Pearlmania500, hosts Ryan Reynolds and his co-host (referred to as "Unknown Speaker") delve into a whirlwind of political drama, pop culture references, and conspiratorial musings. The duo navigates through current events with their characteristic blend of humor and skepticism, offering listeners a gripping and entertaining exploration of the complexities surrounding high-profile figures and societal issues.
The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the tumultuous relationship between former President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk. The hosts discuss the public fallout, speculating on the reasons behind their apparent breakup and subsequent reconciliation.
Reynolds expresses skepticism about the authenticity of their breakup, suggesting it might be orchestrated for ulterior motives:
The conversation shifts to their ongoing rivalry, highlighting instances where both figures have publicly clashed, leading to speculation about their true intentions and the impact on their respective followers.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the rise of surveillance technologies and their implications for personal freedom. The hosts draw parallels between fictional surveillance systems like Palantir in Lord of the Rings and real-world applications by tech companies.
They argue that modern surveillance tools are morphing into omnipresent monitoring systems, reminiscent of dystopian narratives. The discussion extends to the use of drones in conflict zones like Gaza, emphasizing the chilling effects of such technologies on civilian populations.
The hosts critique the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" as a vehicle for cutting essential services while granting tax breaks to the affluent. They assert that this legislation is a strategic move to consolidate power and marginalize vulnerable communities.
Elon Musk's opposition to the bill is highlighted as a pivotal moment, suggesting that his stance could influence congressional opinions and public sentiment.
Interwoven with political commentary are references to various aspects of pop culture and conspiracy theories. The hosts frequently draw analogies between current events and elements from movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Lord of the Rings, using these comparisons to underscore their points about power dynamics and societal control.
The conversation also touches upon the influence of social media platforms and the role of influencers in shaping public opinion, further emphasizing the theme of pervasive surveillance.
A critical analysis is presented on the intensification of ICE raids and their disproportionate impact on minority communities. The hosts argue that these actions are deliberate provocations aimed at destabilizing communities and justifying authoritarian measures.
This segment underscores the intersection of race, law enforcement, and political strategy, painting a grim picture of systemic racism and governmental misuse of power.
The episode scrutinizes the influence of tech giants like Google and Palantir in the broader context of surveillance and data manipulation. The hosts express distrust towards these corporations, suggesting that their technological advancements are being repurposed for nefarious ends.
They warn of a future where technology erodes privacy and autonomy, drawing on historical references to illustrate the cyclical nature of power and control.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts reflect on the overwhelming nature of current events and the challenges in maintaining focus amidst constant distractions and misinformation. They encourage listeners to stay informed and engaged, emphasizing the importance of local organizing and community protection.
Despite the heavy topics, the episode concludes on a note of resilience, urging listeners to find clarity and purpose amidst chaos.
Episode #132 of Too Many Tabs with Pearlmania500 offers a provocative and thought-provoking examination of contemporary political and technological landscapes. Through a mix of humor, satire, and serious critique, Ryan Reynolds and his co-host challenge listeners to question the status quo and remain vigilant in the face of growing surveillance and authoritarian tendencies. Whether one agrees with their perspectives or not, the episode undeniably provides a compelling narrative that encourages deeper reflection on the forces shaping our society.
