What this episode is about

A quick take on the hype around forthcoming documentaries about Diddy and 50 Cent, contrasting their approaches to fame, business tactics, and legacy in the music industry. It highlights how Diddy leveraged industry tricks to retain control and wealth, while 50 Cent’s career blends trolling, rivalry, and media narratives.

Key takeaways

  • Diddy's empire-playbook relied on filming everything, then weaponizing control and timing against rivals and partners.
  • 50 Cent's trolling genius rivals Diddy's control tricks; both turned personal feuds into durable brands and leverage.
  • The doc reframes success: money, power, and loyalty are negotiated through visibility, not just music charts.
  • Behind the gloss, durable artists leverage platforms early—50's crew-building mirrored in G-Unit's simultaneous ascents.
  • Discomforting takeaway: gossip-fueled narratives can outlive actual achievements, shaping legacy more than talent.

The Diddy Do is out. Are people talking about the Diddy Doc? Are we Are we at Are we at like what is it when you're Diddy fatigue?

I was very interested to hear that 50 Cent was putting out a documentary, but he announced it like a year ago. The fact that that 50 Cent has dedicated his life to trolling other people, making documentaries about his enemies, it's hard not to to just bow down. I mean, he could be on a yacht for the

truly for the rest of his life as he sets his alarm every morning at 4 a.m. to be the Michael Jordan of trolling. It's probably something that he's been thinking about for decades.

I want to know the thing. Was it at a party he was rude? Like something happened. He took us a He put you on a song and then took you off. I need to know the wound.

There's a story that 50 Cent was had a meeting with P. Diddy early in his career and in front of a bunch of people, Diddy offered to take him shopping.

Take you shopping. Just like two gals on a Saturday just headed to the mall. Yeah. Like, yeah. No, Diddy, I'm not gonna go to the ball with you. I'm I have a bullet hole in my face. I got it. I have in my up here in this noggin, a birthday bop that will forever change music. I You know that song Happy Birthday every I'm going to replace it. I don't need to go to Zara with you. I've I'm gonna replace happy birthday. Can you imagine? That's like being like, you know, salt and pepper. I have a better one. You know, peanut butter and jelly. You don't even know about this.

That song, I guess once you write that song, you're like, I can do anything. It gets better every time I hear it. It is a Every time I hear it, I go lower. It like it hits you with joy.

I think career-wise too, they're polar opposites. Everything that that I relearned in the Diddy documentary was how he was basically Diddy was using all the old record industry tricks to never have to pay anybody

and keep everything. And on the other side, uh, when Gunit records were coming out, uh, 50 Cent was interrupting his own album cycles to make sure that everyone

that was coming up with him was being put on at the same time, which is really cool.

Aubrey Day sometimes blondes because they're so invincible, they like Aubri Day had been saying this. She did some band with Diddy and was like, I got paid $400. And we were all like, "Nah, yeah, but you got to be on TV." And she's like, "No, it was like $400." And we're all like, "Shut up. You have lip filler." And she's like, "No, it was like4 like

Danity Kane." Yeah. Dan Dan Diddy Kane. What's a Dan Diddy? Oh, cuz it's Diddy, isn't it?

No, that was Diddy. Dirty Money. Well, what's Dan Diddy? Dan Danity Kane. What is that?

It's a It's like a It's like a word generator naming a band. But I can't say it though.

Yeah. Danity. What is a danity? Don't. You'll never have to prank. No, I need to know. I You know that etmology is my kink in my side. I need to know.

It's like calling something bibbidity boop. But is it a prank? Am I being pranked?

Although Yeah, that was a big prank. Okay. It was a huge prank. I don't like finding out later. It's like um I just found out it's chest of drawers. I thought it was Chester drawers. Like I am now at a point where I'm gonna if I don't understand something, I'm going to stop.

Are you talking about the the guy who invented the Chester? The Yeah. No. Stop. I said it's the best thing since life's bread for 20 years.

That's deep. I'm not I'm just I I'll stop now and go can tell me so I'm not dumb and I don't humiliate myself. So, okay. I did watch the 50 Cent documentary. This is the This is what I make time for. I feel like everyone's kind of now that he's not going to jail forever, we're kind of like like, you know, there's obvious, you know, I think it's subconsciously we're like, well, something's obviously a foot here that he's going to only do what, two or three years. We're like, let's just slowly back away. This guy's going to be out soon.

Yeah. Like, this guy's going to be out. Andy's not crazy old. Like when a lot of people in entertainment are getting taken down at the end of their career or whatever.

Did you see Morgan Freeman at like 85? Oh no. People are like he's a creep. It was like

damn it. At the buzzer. And that could go either way. It's either he was like when someone gets cancelled that late it's either like this guy was real bad and they just waited.

Yeah. Hold on. There was someone else that just at the buzzer. Oh, Smokeoky Robinson.

That was it. Yeah. Yeah. 50 million here, 50 million there. Have none of you seen Pretty Woman?

Do none of you know you have to pretend to love them? You got to give them some pancakes, give them a credit card, let them go into Beverly Hills, and call it a day. Okay, you got to What happened to foreplay?

What happened to tricking these people? What happened to just lying? When did people just Oh, god. Okay, so Diddy documentary. I do think here's the takeaways that I think are actually worth it if you are going to watch or aren't going to watch it. Here's I think the takeaways because it it it is kind of fascinating even though you're a lot of stuff you might already know. Um and I noticed a couple things I feel like other people wouldn't necessarily have noticed. You know me. I don't know what it is. Is it Asberers? I I was born to be a detective. Let's be honest. It is my calling. It is my passion. But I wasn't loved as a child. So instead my my career is to make strangers love me in dark rooms at night. So, hot tip that I have gleaned uh from the Diddy documentary. If you're going to film everything you do, make sure you dress accordingly.

This is a man that did not think if you're going to be a psychopath with a strategic um sort of approach to building an empire on taking advantage of people and committing crimes. How about that? You got just take a couple minutes to pick what you wear on your 247 uh uh intentional surveillance. He didn't think things through. You You can't lose your temper screaming at someone on the phone in a Von Dutch t-shirt. You can't scream at someone in a V Dutch shirt or the other person automatically wins. Thank god this is before FaceTime. He's on the phone. He's like screaming at someone in a If it had been FaceTime, the other person would have been like, "I win. Von Dutch, bye." Like the Godfather was in a suit for a reason.

You can't behave like you're some like like mafia leader in a in swag that you got at what? Jake Gyllenhaal's sweet 16. I don't even know. In the documentary about PJ Scandal, he's wearing Von Dutch. in the documentary about P. Diddy's scandal. He's wearing a brand that also had a documentary about its scandal. It was like a Russian nesting doll of people with document. Like in every scene where he's leading up to the trial trying to not be found guilty, he's dressed in spandex like running pants and sneakers. He's like, "I'm not going to run. You're literally dressed to I" He said, "I'm not going to flee. I'm going to stay here. I'm going to I'm going to He's dressed like an Olympic sprinter. He's dressed like he's about to run from the law at all times in actual sneakers.

He's wearing the pants the Spanish under the shorts. Okay, just think through your wardrobe. If you if he was in like a suit and like like Oxfords, I'd be like, "Okay, he's here for the He's literally just like So, watching the whole documentary for me was just kind of a reminder of how not a surprise any of this was." Uh, the guy changed his name four times, three times. No one does that because they're not doing crimes except Prince. Prince changed his name to protest his music label, which is cool. But did he just was like dropping new names all the time? And remember how we just went with that? Sean Col's cool. He's so mature now. He does sweatuits, but now it's Diddy. Like, oh, we you're Diddy now. Like the fact that we just went with that and thought it was cool is so wild. His main hit is the lyric is can't stop, won't stop. Fine. He was married to a woman his age. You know, that's always the biggest red flag for

me for a billionaire. I'm sorry. A woman his age. Okay. Okay. Every famous person, there's like the ex who they were married to when they got big,

like their first life. Yes. Well, exactly. the person that probably helped them, the person that was their rock, the person that supported them, and the second they got successful, they were like, "You're just not testing." Well, Diddy was with Kim Porter. Still, no one can figure out how she died. The point is, there's a part in the beginning where they talk about how they met. Okay, there's a lot of I I'm the one that zooms in on things people just blow past and someone blew past this in the beginning. Someone's going, you know, in the he was an intern and he wanted to be with Kim Porter. He met Kim Porter. Diddy wasn't really a catch. He was a square. He was kind of not a big, you know, he didn't drink alcohol. He swore off drugs. And then they go make fun of his haircut. People just blow pass up.

He doesn't drink at 19. I don't drink. If you get sober because your life fell apart and you drank and it didn't work out for you, I get it. someone to be so anti-drinking, anti- not having control at that age. Someone that is that anti-drinking while also building a business making alcohol for other people to drink. You might be a psychopath. Okay, I've known we all know those people who are like, I don't drink. I don't drink. And you're like, what? What's up? What is this? But if it hasn't destroyed your life already, you're just saying like, I'm not going to be I'm not everyone else is going to be drunk and I'm not.

Everyone, what that why is that your thing? Why do you hate not having control so much? Like good for you. Okay, but if you don't drink, you just go like, "No thanks. Not for me." Like, you know, to be like, "I don't drink. That's my thing." All right. I couldn't drink anymore. It ruined my life. Okay. I had I had blue and orange hair for two years straight. Okay. I started helping out family members financially who viewed me as an ATM machine. I I enabled that so I can't drink. My problem with I get too nice when I drink. I don't get DUIs. I get drunk and I buy someone else a car that secretly hates me. I start dying my hair and letting people live in my house who want to destroy me. So I don't drink substances. But but I have what is called the allergy to alcohol.

My life doesn't get better with but I learned the hard way. A lot of people can drink and not bankroll psychopaths. I'm not one of those people, but anyone who doesn't just try it has a little bit of a control issue, you know, like after the diddy thing. And I used to think that was cool, though. I was like, "Oh, good. You never drank. You never good for you." But at 19 years old to be the person who's like, "I don't drink. I like staying awake while other people pass out." There's something off about that. At 19 years old, you're the party guy, but I'm not drinking. What? You're not someone that wants to Well, if everyone else is drinking, the instinct at 19 should just be, "I'm going to be as dumb as everyone else." Yes, it's dumb. Sure. But you, at that age, you're supposed to be like, I'm going to be as dumb as everyone else, not I'm going to watch everyone else be dumb, and I'm going to be stone

cold sober when other people are comeos. Like, it's a weird thing at that age to want that early. Okay. So, it does seem like a lot of people who have committed some very serious crimes are famous for saying, "I don't drink at like early on." You know, it's like how you know how I think that the nicer everyone thinks someone is, the fishier I think they are based on interviews of neighbors after serial killers are busted. If you're a serial killer, you go out of your way to be very nice to your neighbors. If you asked any of my neighbors about me, they'd be like, "She's nice. She's she's pretty nice, but she's a little judgy about the Christmas tree lights. She asks to redo ours. She's lovely. She also has to repaint parts of our fence.

I mean, she's she's a little neurotic, you know, she leaf blows for, you know, weird hours of the night, but I I can't imagine she'd drown anyone. Like, I'm also not talking about like at 13 I was like this. At 13, I was like, I'm straight edge. Like, but to make not drinking cool, I thought it was cool to not drink. Even you're 14 like I'm straight edge even though it's not legal for me to drink for six more years. And I'm like, I don't drink. It's like what? Like I don't drink by choice. Like I just that some that was like very interesting to me because like when people at 19 are like I don't drink ever. I just go to bars and watch people get drunk. You mean you're hunting?

All right. We're now going to take a little bit of a break to talk about butts. We were probably talking about butts before. This probably isn't a break from talking about butts, but we're talking about cleaning butts um instead of soiling them. So look, we talk about skincare. We talk about self-care. We talk about afterare. No longer will will tushes be the butt of your jokes. Okay. Time to clean them. Time to soften them. Time. It's enough already. Enough with babies having the soft butts around here. Good wipes. These wipes are 40% bigger and stronger than the average wipes. So, they don't tear. They're designed to to break down and be flushed. You can actually flush them down the toilet. Another thing that doesn't get any respect around here, good wipes are the best. They're soft.

They're like a little little a little It's like it's like your wipes like like a it's a gentle caress is really what it is. They're infused with aloe, chamomile, vitamin E, no harsh chemicals, parabens or dyes. Yuck. If you've got sensitive skin, this is a total game changer. My favorite is the rose water I want to say is what it's called. I think makes the least glamorous part of your day just feel a little bit fancy. Do you really do feel like Maria Twinette over here when you're wiping your butt with Good Wipes?

Usually these people are like control freaks of people who want to be on high alert while everyone else is not. There's some when I don't drink and I go to a bar and everyone's drunk. I'm like, I want to go home. These people, they they're not in control of themselves. They're annoying me. Someone that doesn't drink is like I like how out of control everyone is and how they're not going to remember anything that happens to them. That's a weird thing to to want to be around drunk people when you're sober. Okay. Also, there's a scene where a guy was talking about how he pursued Kim Porter and the whole thing was like he wouldn't take no for an answer. He met he saw that was going to be his way. He just kept pursuing and pursuing. I love that if a

guy and the idea was like he's so ambitious, right? Like in the beginning, we knew this guy. He would not I love that if a guy shows up at a woman's work and tries and tries to date her and she keeps saying no, we call it romance. This is this is something. He just blew past it as if that wasn't like and this is when we should have known there was something off about this guy.

Somehow he ended up running the company after harassing the front desk lady for a year.

She was with someone else. He pushed and pushed and even though she said no, [gasps] we're like it's like Yeah. Yeah. It was so It's like the guy that John Cusack holding up the stereo in that movie. Why? First of all, okay, this is drives me nuts. It just reminds me of this genre of romantic comedies where men just get to show up at women's work. Like wh men just get to harass women at their jobs and because they're attract

I mean what are they interrupting? What what are they what there's like always like a scene where they're playing basketball. They're like just go get her just and they're like he's like but it's 2:00 p.m. Yeah. Go to her work. She's giving a presentation behind like to 50 people and he's like I Genie, you're the one. She's like in a power. She's like giving a presentation and all everyone on the conference table's like go. This was nothing. That what you were doing. This was fake. This this presentation isn't real anyway.

We got it. Yeah. This is what we'll we'll take it from here. Going on a little long anyway.

He's here. You're fired anyway. This is Yeah. that like it's remember what was the movie where she's working and he carries her off and everyone claps. There's a movie. It's like she works at a bottle company or something. It's like this is like an old old movie like what when women first started like working in like

Oh, do you remember don't tell mom the babysitter's dad? Oh my gosh. Christina Applegate the fashion show at the pool.

Oh yeah, of course I do. What are you talking about? The those hot fashions. Yes. I am obsessed with movies from the 80s where teenagers were 45 years old actresses. They were all acting like marketing executives.

Everyone worked in a magazine or works in fashion. I do. Like it's like women are in the workforce. Okay, we're making a movie. What would a woman do? Work at a magazine.

Where's the air conditioning? I that's where they want to be right? Fashion. They're going to work in like they're going to work in fashion and they're going to work in magazines.

Yeah. Up high away from the shovels. Get them to work. But there was one where she worked in a factory. I'm telling you, officer and a gentleman. We know women can't union eyes. They can't get along. Uh I am just I'm obsessed with this because we talk about how romantic comedies have messed up girls and it makes women all want marriage and whatever. But like men saw them too. Guys saw them too. Men were influenced by romantic comedies as well. And there's this idea that like if a guy shows up and the guy holding up the stereo, John Q, the only reason that was hot is because stereoss look heavy.

They're very heavy. It was only hot because it means he was in shape. And if a guy did that today with like an iPhone would be like loser. Okay. The fact that so many romcoms showed guys being such like toxic psychopaths and we were brainwashed and believing that was romance is so funny to me. I mean, there was a whole genre of stop the wedding. Remember, a guy would not want to be with a girl, by the way. The most beautiful woman. It was like Kate Hudson. It was like a a perfect 10. Like, no thanks. He would cheat on her, like Jennifer Garner or someone wildly out of their league.

She'd move on, figure out a way to cobble together her self-esteem and life to find a guy who wouldn't dillydally with the few years she had left to have a biological child. She has a wedding. The guy's like, "Wait, he's he's he's hooping outside. Someone else wants her. She's getting married. Someone else wants to be with her. who respects her, who won't give her HPV. I shant allow it.

Wait a minute. She doesn't know that I don't respect her parents' money. Not only do I not respect her or her time or her biological clock, but I also do not respect her parents' money or the Lord of the church that she is getting married in that he crashes her wedding on like a scooter, a horse or a scooter all of a sudden. I'm like, I hope the groom I I hope you got an invoice for that.

Yeah, but her younger brother really likes him and gives him like a right. Gets like an air gun. That's right. Also, a wedding takes like a year to plan. You've had time. You knew she was getting You could have done this at the save the date. Maybe maybe crash the engagement party, not the expensive party where people are like in wheelchairs who flew in from Hollywood is creepy for so many reasons, but honestly, that is so much weirder to me than even like like child acting. They're like, "We're going to come for weddings."

Like to to be like, "Yeah, you guys, let's make a movie." Okay. where the guy who cheated on the girl, the guy doesn't believe in monogamy, but it's fine. It's fine. He's like a divorce lawyer. He crashes the most important day of the girl's life on a motorcycle because, get this, he changes his mind. That's not a romcom. This is a psychological horror night. You guys were watching romantic comedies. Women were watching horror movies. Imagine if a Imagine if a girl showed up and and barged in on her boyfriend's secret family. I mean, we would be like, "You are a crazy woman." I mean, when Chris is skating and I I like wait in the car like if I

The next time, you know, he's going to go skate for the day somewhere. Yeah. Show up with a boom box.

He would love He would The problem is what he does for a living, he does ballet on ice. So, anything I do could ruin his body or career. Like the other day we were decorating for Christmas and he like got up on a ladder and I was like, "No, no. If you shatter your knee putting a star on top of my Costco Christmas tree, like the skate community will thrasher my neck." Like, uh, every time I'm like at his job, I'm just sort of like, if I what if I move? What if he sees what if I what if the the the wheelie goes bad?

The point is I Whatever happened to Fifty Shades of Gray? I feel like they're not making anymore. Is that done? Is that done? I love what movies are. I love genre. They

did a sequel, right? Well, you know, there's a theory that um the genre of movies that are big capitalizes on what our fears are. Like so the um the genre of like babysitters, stealing babies, Ham that rocks the cradle, stuff like that was when women were going in the workforce like in the 80s like capitalizing on women's fear of that. And then zombie movies capitalized on our fear of homeless people. And then fa I don't know I feel like Fifty Shades of Gray was like in the zeitgeist. Like remember when Bondage was the biggest movie on earth? The biggest movie ever.

This is how weird we are as people. The biggest movies is so wild to me are Passion of the Christ. Okay. And then where the guy had a dungeon of weapons, but we didn't care because he was rich and she was a brunette. And then the one where the teenager was in love with a vampire. Like this is We've been weird. We've been weird. Oh, by the way, the vampire who was 124 years old. I was thinking about Twilight the other day. He's 17, but he's not. She's like, "How long have you been 17?" 120 years. That feels like a pretty big age gap, you guys.

It doesn't work in reverse either. You can't You can't ever say she's 17, but she looks 40. She's 17, but she looks 100, so it's fine.

Oh, now I'm the jerk. You No, she looks But look at her. She looks 100. Okay. You can't say he's 124, but he looks 17, so it's fine. Cuz I know what they're doing here with all this anti-aging live forever stuff. This movie feels like a test to see how we would react. And we failed. Don't get me started on that Brian Johnson guy. You know, the Live Forever guy. Brian Johnson. Like I I have not yet formulated I will I will if anyone cares a take or my my take on this whole anti-aging thing. I just know that he did the Rich Roll podcast and when Rich posted it, I just wrote in the comments, "I don't know, man."

Sometimes you don't need to explain yourself. I don't know, man. I don't know, man. I don't have anything else to say. Sometime I I

it's too early to share your information. You know what? For people that say that I or or for just the idea that like ah I have an opinion on everything. I really don't. I do not have an opinion until I really know what I'm saying. Until I really can like like defend my take and if people argue with me in the comments that I'm going to be like okay with it or be mean to me in the comments, I'm going to be stand by it. I'm not ready on this particular thing.

You can't be an expert in anti-aging on your way. on your way. You have to be very old to have any evidence that your story makes sense.

And you can't get Botox. You can't be aging. Yeah. You're aging. Telling people how you're not aging.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know if this is going to work for you or not. When you go, "Hey, guess what? I'm 200."

Yeah. I'm in. Yes. When you dunk a basketball, Yeah. Yeah. Go, I'm 85. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Give advice for money. Yes. And it's tricky because it's like, okay, whenever something is ostensibly really like what? I'm like, maybe not. Maybe this is it. Like I whatever emotional dyslexia I have. So, it's like he's taking blood from his 18-year-old. I'm like, everyone's leaning out and I'm like, wait a minute. What else are 18-year-olds good for? Like I I I have question like maybe this is I don't I have question. Maybe. Why not? Why not? Who's I don't know. By the time your kid is 18, you've spent so much money on them. You're like, I I believe I deserve a little of your blood. You have aged me. It's only fair.

Okay. I don't I don't I don't know, man. I don't know, man. Rich called me and was like, "What was that supposed to mean?" It like started a thing. I was like, "I just don't know. I don't know. Why is that a controversial take?" When you say, "I don't know." People freak out more than if you pretend you're a know-it-all.

It's It's insulting. I just said I don't know. I don't know. Do you Does anyone None of us know with this guy with this thing? I do know that living forever. What's the point if you only eat blueberries? As someone who loves blueberries, if you're if you're in a cryogenetic chamber and in ice. Yeah, if you live forever and are if someone said, "Hey, do you want to live forever, but you just have to be in an ice bath every day?" I'd be like, "I don't know, man." I just There's something about this Let's Live Forever thing where I'm like, "Have Do you fly private?

Fly public and see if you want to live forever." There's something about the kind of people that want to live forever. I'm like, "Can I just see your life to see what's making you want to live forever so bad?" Like, I'm just curious.

I mean, it's certainly it's people who have entered a world of insane wealth. That's it. That's it. That's it. Hyper

fixated on that. Okay. So, I guess if I was in that world, I'd be like, I got to do this for like this is whereas most people are like, what what is this? How do we get this over with? The point is Diddy is the the music is good. It's just it it the the the most heartbreaking part of the Diddy documentary was is how much I was sweating as I was dancing. Um how I kept hitting my head on the desk. uh trying to twerk alone uh while watching it. I mean, every time a song came on, I was like, "This is what a jerk." Like, it's bop after bop, man. We might have to keep musical geniuses in cages or something. That doesn't sound good, but maybe not cages. We might Okay, you know what I'm saying? We might have to keep talented people in. There's a chance that what makes you that good at music is the exact reason why you must be isolated from others. I I don't you know there's like Megan's law and like

Amber Alert that's based on someone named Megan and and Amber. If there was ever a Whitney law, you know, it would be this. It would be like how certain people that are so talented and they just have to live in caves and and they make hops from the they're just not allowed to be around kids or have mansions or or they can't just go buy baby oil whenever they want. There's there's certain people that just shouldn't be able to buy baby oil. they shouldn't be able to have access to other like there's a day where we might just go congratulations you have a billion dollars because you've created all these amazing things but it you are not capable of having empathy and power does corrupt you have too much power and not enough self-control so we are going to we're going to do the same thing we do with tigers we're going to put you in a gorgeous it's like a call it's like a gated community but the gates are also on top

okay until you decide to either donate all your money or you can live here. You don't get to run free and have parties and buy boats or get massages cuz it's just you have too much money and power and it makes people weird. Watching this documentary was like power is the wildest drug. And for music it's just so it's it's also a little goofy. You go la. What are we five? Like you say you you like for even the Bob's being good. You can't act like this. It's a It's a little silly. Okay. It's also just like it's crazy to me because in music it kind of makes sense because music is all about I have power. I'm gonna take over.

I own New York City. Like it's right there in the lyrics, right? But movies is even weirder. Like I maybe I'm giving musicians more of a pass because in Hollywood the most of the movies are about how power corrupts the people who are in movies about how villains are selfish and greedy and they hurt people and then they do it is like like did David Harbor did he know he was playing the parts in movies of the person that he was didn't like see the disconnect you You know in the military when you come back and you have to have like a mandatory psychological assessment or we need that for performers like your first single is like you've gone to like we go to Germany and you have to take a big a quiz with a lot of people just being like let's assess let's assess if mentally this person can handle another hit. You know what I mean? Let's see. I know people that have had like one big hit and they're pretty normal.

You know, they live in Cino. That can ruin people pretty heavily, too. True. But there's a couple where you're like, "Yeah, Jason Priestley seems to be doing okay." I And Zering from 902 and he did seem to get in a fight with like a bunch of motorcycles on Hollywood Boulevard. And you're like, I feel like that

that would have happened anyway. I I don't I don't feel like that would have happened to someone who wasn't on 902 Ian's earring for some reason, right? I'm just saying I we have to start treating fame and power and instant success like these people have been through some kind of war and their all brain is altered. Also watching the Diddy do I I think I also was like huh who else who this isn't the first guy this isn't the first everything y'all did been done. It's just most creeps I think died. Diddy's mistake is he didn't die. There's a bunch of people who are creepy and because they died were like fine with it. I am in a wormhole on Elvis being a total weirdo with young girls dance.

Like there's a song called One Boy, Two Little Girls. There's a song called Hey Little Girl. It's truly what it's called. He's dancing with a toddler saying hey little girl, do you want to be a movie star? What in the R. Kelly was happening here? I will attack his grave today. If you don't think I will go to Graceand and pee on this man's grave, is that where his grave is? I don't even know. I will I if you don't think I won't vandalize Graceand you. Okay, fine. Smokey Robinson. It's weird to do it when someone's 80 to cancel someone 80 85. I'll do it when they've been dead for 50 years. I don't know how my algorithm knows exactly whose grave I need to pee on, but I am really in a hey remember I wasn't even around for Elvis.

So I was like hey remember this person that by the time you were an adult you sort of thought they were this cool I don't know um what is it like what was Elvis? Who car like what was why was

I think uh the phrase you're looking for is the king of rock and roll. The king of rock and roll. Okay. Okay. All right.

I don't know who started calling him that, but Okay. eventually a lot of people called him that.

Okay. Well, I'm I'm out. Not Elvis. Okay. So, I'm not if I will I will lead the charge on cancelling Elvis. I do not care. Have you seen the the if there's two videos like this? One guy, two little girls. Girl already means little. Girl already means young. You don't have to add little girl. It's like when someone says like at this young lady at my work, you're like young. Why are you specifying the age? Like what are you what is this cash app? The holidays, they're supposed to be about finding the perfect gift, not getting tricked by some scam.

once. Enough of this. Let's get into some global news cuz I'm a real journalist. Next up on the podcast, a segment I call calm down. Everything's fine. I'm going to dig into a news story that seems terrifying and may make you want to jump off a cliff, but I will tell you why you should calm down and stop being such a baby about it. Finland is turning data center waste heat into a powerful resource, capturing the excess warmth from servers and feeding it directly into district heating networks that keep entire neighborhoods warm through long freezing winters.

I beg your juiciest pardon. Firstly, what is the deal with Finland if why is it that that Finland has become why are they If you want someone in the United States to do something, just say Finland does it for whatever. I don't know when we put Finland on a pedestal. If someone was like, "I just started drinking my own piss every day." And you're like, "Why?" And like, cuz they do it in Finland. You'd be like, "Okay, a cup or a wheelbarrow? Do I do I do wheelbarrow pose and just let it let it drip into my mouth? Do I lick it off my How do I drink my own piss?" Look into Finland.

The Finland is apparently world's happiest country, has the most saunas, most forests, and it's known as the land of a thousand lakes. Mhm. Has 188,000 lakes. Okay. The country is a parliamentary republic with Helsinki as its capital. Two languages, Finnish and Swedish, blah blah blah. Gained independence from Russia in 1917. uh granted women the right to vote in 1906. Okay. Well, yeah, because you know women, you can't vote from the bottom of a lake. Can you Any country has that many lakes is going to have happy people because you don't have to get a divorce.

You just take your wife on a boat ride. Look, I respect you. I respect that you want to vote, my wife of mine, so much that I would love to hear all about who you're going to vote for in this canoe. Finland gained independence from Russia in 1917 during uh World War I. Uh Russia's Bolevik government recognized Finland's independence on December 1917. Okay. Russia isn't known for giving up on things it wants, things that are of value. I feel like Russ, if Russia doesn't want you, doesn't even put up a fight. I'm just Okay. Finland always seems to me to be like the the the leader in things heat produced by these servers instead of he that's going to heat office buildings. Am I supposed to be excited about being cooked by data mining machines? How has big tech managed to be like yes we are stealing your data and your eyeball and your fingerprint to mix you into amalgam of human behavior. Sorry, we don't see you

as human. Sorry, that was the wrong word. We will dehumanize you and reduce you to eyeballs and your dopamine receptors. Okay? We are taking your instinctive reactions to the ads we feed you based on what you already like and we will sell you something you don't even know you need with the money you know you don't have and then sell the data which honestly doesn't need to be data. Any idiot can easily make the assumption that anyone who spends a lot of time on social media needs approval and validation from others and are going to buy the thing monogrammed with their name.

No one needs to mine anyone's data. I can just tell you right now what Pat's going to buy. Everyone have you ever like shop people that run companies like what do people buy? Like why is it so shopper behavior is so obvious? I'm just saying I can't go on that tangent right now. I just want everyone to know we will cook with the heat from the data centers that are also cooking our brains metaphorically. It does make sense. We're already having our data mind. If it makes our electric bill go down a bit, why not? Why not? Honestly, why not just have your home be heated by you kick clicking on your slot machine?

That's what's missing with the internet and the computer getting paid to be on it. Corporations are now getting honestly more benefit from our internet addictions than they are getting from us buying things. Like the money, the amount of money a company makes from us already buying things is now added to the money that they get for selling the data of us buying our browsing behavior, right? So, we should get a cut of that. I just think we have to go like we should get some of that money because we're technically working for you all day with our addiction searching things and then you're selling our behav.

You're selling our behavior the same way that that companies used to mine coal. You're mining our be you're just mining again. If the heat in my house works for free only when I'm on the internet buying things I don't need and googling my ex's then it might all burn a little less. But we got we can't just act like this is amazing. This is what corporations and like psychopaths do is they make you feel grateful for being used by them. They find a way to go like these data mining centers are going to heat buildings casinos. Now, when you're in the slot, the the the act of you doing the slot lever is going to pump the water into the bathtub upstairs when you go when you realize that you've gambled away all of your child's savings for college and you need to try to take the longest bath of all time and you're filling it up. That'll be from this. So, the thing I didn't needed to do is going to now benefit me. You've now you make

my addiction worse because now I you're rewarding it. So the toaster I just ordered isn't going to get here in time for the the lever that I you to get the water out to get in the bathtub. But so now that people are going like, "Ah, no phone, no tech, no whatever." Now it's like, but it heats your home, too. I I just see where this is going and I don't like it one bit. If you don't spend eight hours a day on the internet, your child won't have heat because the data centers warm your home. I don't like it. I don't like when people I don't like when corporations make us grateful for the addiction we're all trying to kick.

Well, I think I started by saying everything's going to be fine. Uh that was what the segment was. So, I do think it'll be fine. Don't read into the dinosaurs behind you too much for the the pending apocalypse that you're hinting at.

Okay. So So I'm a little bit into dinosaurs are fake. Like I don't think dinosaurs were fake. They if they were again it's the same thing with the moon landing. I have so much more respect for people who would do this long con. And I was talking to my friend Dan who has two kids that are like 16 and 18 or something and I was like this I was showing him a video and I like because a lot of dinosaur bones in museums are fake of course but uh and my son's obsessed with dinosaurs now of course and uh and I sorry I said I was like yeah there's this thing well because they're now saying that dinosaurs probably had feathers which means they could have been any color. They definitely didn't look like the dinosaurs that we all like they just slipped out. Like for sure they had feathers. There's no way all the dinosaurs that we have of stuffed animals and books like none of those.

They they were just bald head to toe. The fact that humans were like let's make them bald. Like all these bald scientists were like they didn't have hair. Like

you expect me to put a piece of hair in a million times on this kneecap? the the the people at the museums were like, "Guys, guys, guys, guys, I'm sure they had feathers, lol." But like, we're not I don't you don't you don't have dinosaur feather budget.

You can't afford accuracy right now, guys. It's huge. It's got big look ridiculous. We already big bird. We already did Big Bird. Like, we can't like Sesame Street like sue them. snuffle up against us that we can't we have to differentiate our brain.

We get the sneakers off that woolly mammoth. Okay. So, okay. So, you're telling me this triceratops had a mullet. Okay, Bill. Okay, Bill. Like someone there was like there's I don't know how these like um whatever paleontologist all get together, but the idea that they were all arguing and one's like I think they had feathers like all right Bill, we know you're into dudes. The point Okay, so the the triceratops had a boa. That one's just got like a golf putter sticking out the top of its head.

The Joe Derosaurus. [gasps] So, I'm telling this to my friend. I'm like, "Yeah, there's like this conspiracy theory that dinosaurs were real." And he's like, "I He's like, if that was fake, the idea that it was like in each book they said like this one is this many school buses, like how long the con has gone." And he's like, "Wait, but one of them was 12 school buses."

You can only describe it in measures that only children have reference to. That's right.

No adult is going to see 12 school buses lined up. It's always like It's always like 72 lacrosse sticks. It's like 2,000 gummy bears along. You're like, "What?" Like, I feel like we found out crazier things are fake than dinosaurs.

Wrestling's fake. That's perfect. That's a perfect example. Now I have a a target on my head.

Santa. We've gone as hard in the paint with Santa as we would have with dinosaurs if dinosaurs are fake. [snorts]

Krampus. What's that? Oh, the wife. Yeah, that's his wife. I'll put up a picture.

I just learned I just learned about this from Chris Cole. He It's like his wife. She's uh having her period cramps.

She's on the rag. Is that am I right though? No, the cramp it's like the horned demon version of Santa Claus

in Norway or whatever and they walk around. Yeah. Yeah. No, I've seen they like I I showed it to Chris. I was like this is He's like that's awesome.

Yeah, it's super metal. Yeah. No, he loves it. You guys should honestly just get married and all.

I'll get a boom box. Um just keep talking about dinosaurs. Okay. Also, I the more I teach my son about dinosaurs, the more there are some things that were off. I mean, there is no way the T-Rex had that tiny of hands. There's no way there was one that was just like like the scariest one was just like my son's even like what's with this?

Yeah. They were about to pull the curtain and someone's like you forgot to put the arms on and they're like use these.

They just used human hands from a mannequin. Like the T-Rex I'm not a scientist, but I know the T-Rex is wrong. Like I know I'm not like an evolution specialist. I'm not. There's just no way. There's absolutely no way.

It's too funny. It's too It's too funny. Just too like the scariest ones just like like like just duck walking just like we're not The T-Rex is off.

I'm just seeing so many AI like pseudo videos that I just wish weren't fake. Like I saw I saw one the eagle landed on somebody's roof and a monkey sitting on the ledge and jumped on the back of the eagle

and then the eagle flew with the monkey on its back and I was like but but I really wish that wasn't fake.

But that's for sure happened. I know that's So there's things that AI can do that isn't footage of that thing, but it's happened so it might as well be. Yeah, that would be a great way to frame a platform that does AI videos. It's like we only do plausible.

This would have this has happened. There's just no way to capture it. Yeah, it just hasn't been filmed yet.

Like there's no footage of Pompei, but you could AI it and just watch it and then every time you close your eyes for the rest of your life, you see that. But like there's things that we don't have footage of that AI can go like this is what it would have looked like. for sure monkeys have jumped on eagles backs. Didn't end well for them at all. Also, but I don't want that. I kind of You got to remember Pat, we're edggers ultimately. We don't want that. That once you get that money shot, it's like now what? Okay. It's like going to the sphere and then you have to go. The most depressed people I know have been to the sphere because they went to the sphere and then they had to go back into the world, but they they went to they they flew too close to the sun.

They realized they had to go back to the sphere. Then they had they have to go to the sphere every weekend now in order to maintain any kind of equilibrium of their dopamine. So we I watch the eagle's nest live stream that's just an empty nest that may or may not have an eagle in it at some point.

And those are repeatable thrills. Something shows up and leaves. I cannot get enough. It is the only socially acceptable gambling addiction. Like is today the day? Today the day. And when he does come, it's like it's just it's like my childhood all over again with my dad. those websites that let you bet on on things that happen.

Isn't that what the green fallacuses that were being thrown on the I think that should I do that?

I think you should set up an account and put in there like the eagle is going to show up on this date.

Cut to me throwing a put 10 bucks on it and then a green dildo shows up in the nest.

Oh my gosh. All right, I have to go to Fort Lauderdale. Don't ride elephants. Love you guys. down. Yeah.
