Ep 185 | Paul Robalino From Dropout TV Joins The Crew!

0:00gettin the or is that just in the show? It's a TV show, but Blues Brothers, it's hard to hear it thinking of. It's long for many years. Because they do roll high in the end of Blues Brothers 1. Oh, is that what it is? With the whip. Just the soul man. And that's the gate. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, Mama's soul man. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, Hey, wait. Here we are. This is my life. I'm probably love pod. Thanks for joining us, everybody. We have a special guest here in studio. And I actually wanted to ask you about your last name already. Sorry. Paul Roblinos.

1:00Is that right? Roblinos. Roblinos. Is it Italian? I knew you were going to ask that. No, it's not. No, if you go to waste, if Roblinos is not Italian, it's a waste. I know. I'm sorry. And that's me being Italian. What is it? What is it? If you Google the last name, every single person who has that last name is Ecuadorian. My family is Ecuadorian. Oh, okay. But I think, but I think it makes sense. It makes sense. Well, to me now that I'm meeting you, I'm saying a message. Originally, like generations back, it's Spaniard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. But then they've all, they conquered and colonized. Because the Italian is winning here, I don't know. Start a little thing. I mean, the Italians do that. Okay, I don't know why I talk about that. And the Spanish, they did that in the Philippines as well. They did it everywhere. Yeah, they did. It's interesting. Roblinos. Anyway, thanks for being here, man. We are big fans of what you do over Adrop out. And we're just so happy to have you today. Yes. I'm thrilled. Do you always start your episodes with songs? No. No.

2:01That was just a random festival. Just a special. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, thanks. It wasn't good. No problem, man. We do always at least try to incorporate one musical number in every podcast. That's true. It was really burned it. You did the one. That's one and done. And usually sings, I feel pretty. That's what Danny does. I feel pretty. So pretty. Well, I have to build myself up, but I'm dealing with these two. Yeah. I'm my own hype man. Oh, God. Do it, and go into the pirate thing. How do you know you want to? We met a while ago. Yes. We met a while ago. Andy did me a big favor, actually. Wow. You've never done us any favors. I know. I know. I know. I know. Because one of the shows that I work on at Dropout is called Dirty Laundry. Yeah, of course. It's like a storytelling show. Mm-hmm. And we sometimes do these themed episodes and a couple of seasons back we were doing one that was like, oh, Disney stars. It'll be cool if we get people from different properties. We'll be on a couch together until stories have cocktails. And the day before we shot somebody dropped out. And we were like, wait, somebody literally dropped out? I'll drop out TV. Somebody literally dropped out.

3:01Wow. Maybe they took the memo. They took it too literally. They took it too literally. What we were going to do is we were going to drop out. Why does this say dropout caps? That's it. I'm out. So now I do it. I drop out. No, no, no, no. It's why I was following the friggin' email. It was in Amelia Badelia's situations. It just thought it was literal. Yeah. But then our producer at the time, Sutton McKee was like, this is going to sound crazy, but I actually know the Lawrence brothers. And he works out with you guys, right? I work out with Sutton. Yeah. In particular, this guy right here. You do these workouts. Yeah. So we were like, well, that's where he gets the nickname, the hammer. Yeah, I've recently been working with you. You're looking at your name. Or the Anvil. We call him an Anvil, the hammer. The Anker. We recently been caught. We dropped him in the water when we were in Paris, something. Yeah, I just hold on to their anvil. Normally it's just him. Yeah. I recently told him. Hey, you know what time you need anything? Let me go jet skiing. We need to do something with the dinghy. This guy keeps it right. Catched in the sea floor. A little d in tweeter dump over here. Really? A interrupting me. And I got an amazing ant or an effect today. You got any, show your anecdote.

4:01Well, I coined myself the hammer because, oh, God. Oh, God. Because Joe's eldest daughter, Charlie, was over here making a project for school. She's very talented and designed something for a concert. And she was built. She was actually really impressive. Was building all this stuff. And Matt's the Jesus of the family. He's the carpenter. The Jesus of the house. Because he works with wood. Yeah, because he was a police. Yeah. The house. No, I don't know whatever. Sure. That is Jesus' most famous trade. Yeah, he's a carpenter, right? So he gets that from our great grandfather, Pop, was also just, well, he was a woodworker. He was incredible. Anyway. An architect. So Joe is the, well, I don't want to point him the least capable with a hammer. But I think he puts in the least amount of effort with hammers. I dropped the hammer, but it's in a car. I just dropped the hammer and I had a big car. Anyway, we digress. So anyway, long story short, Charlie was over here building something and she needed to put on all these, like, tax into this giant piece of wood. And it was not going well for everybody. And I will say, I went out there with a hammer and one stroke, whack, tack.

5:05I was kind of, guess how the nickname played. It was a mate. Dude, you used a hammer. That's why you're called it. Yes. It was a little bit of a ring. Well, that too. It was from your work. He was a little dual, a little dual coinage there. But yeah, I was actually really impressed by myself. I was knocking everything in with one stroke. So what's that cartoon now? The guy's hammer is going, yeah. Well, it's a lot of the looney tunes. Is that what Andy looked like? He was just 70 Sam. I mean, Bugs Bunny also took his fair share of nailing the wood on the door. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's been around. He's been around. Exactly. You guys are like cartoon characters. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I love it. I don't know why that image is in my head right now. This guy is. Right. Yeah. Anyway, so I was, you know, did an incredible job. Wow. No, I believe you. Is anybody still listening? Andy's complimenting himself. Yeah. Yeah. So now I walk around every morning and I talk to Matt because we lived together and I'm like the hammers here.

6:06Yeah, yeah. You don't worry about it. Andy, you call him that? I do. I call him the hammer now. Yeah. I play superhero name, honestly. So yeah. Anyway, there's already famously a superhero that wields a hammer though. Of the horror? Yeah. But God of thunder. Well, you know, Andy, I really don't like you taking my sort of nickname. Whatever. He's going to retire soon and then I'll never retire. I'll never retire. It'll be a multi-universal show a bit, I promise. With AI, I'll never retire. He'll bleed me dry as well. He'll ruin it. No, undoubtedly, the ruin my coach as well. But that's all to say, that Andy came in the clutch. Yeah, see? Oh, sorry. Sorry, Paul. Because we had a missing slot on the episode. That's where the story was going and then someone was like, let me text my buddy and then he came through. Because if he, if he weren't free, I don't know what we would have done. I probably would have sat in on the couch instead and it wouldn't have fit the theme at all. Got it. Yes. I mean, you're great. It would have been like, what? And also me. We didn't have anyone. Okay. So Andy, Sandy Kimani was very funny at great stories.

7:08Did you have good stories? One was that he got arrested. It's funny because you never really tell good stories on this podcast. And you always have good stories. I did. I got, I got, I got cuffed at Disneyland. I've told that on here before. Oh, yeah. I remember that one. Yeah. You never actually got arrested though. You just got taken like a Disney back room, right? Disney jail. Disney jail. Oh, Bob. You've been bad. That is what arrested means though. No, listen to me later. Andy. Yeah. Max, he's going to give you the old shake down. It's Kupin and Mick here interrogating me. He's settled now. So I used to be a little bit better. But yeah, dude, Daisy now. No, no, I can't get you. I don't even know what Daisy took. How did he tell me? I just got to the front. What about Karmeth Frog? No, hey there. Um, listen Andy. What is Jim Henson Disney? This is Karmeth Frog. They were part of it. They're by association, but you know, Miss Piggy is, um, she's going to come around the corner. She's going to be so mad at you. Oh, Frank, guys. Yeah. Yeah, there it is.

8:09Oh boy. That Miss Piggy is also Yoda. Like that's pretty amazing. What? Look at that. Stop it. No, how did you not? I mean, what do you mean Miss Piggy? Are you actually checking this? Do you think I need to be checked? Oh, James. Oh, James. I didn't know this. You do? Miss Piggy. Do what you just said, but say it in the weird grammar that Yoda talks in. Oh, oh yeah. Yes. Funny. Um, like, um, like, what? What? No one is spotting. I'm so spagging. You're not. Yeah. Yeah. That's what you can hear it now. Yeah, I can hear it now. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, he did. Well, he was pretty phenomenal. Oh, yeah. Frank Oz. Frank Oz and Mel and Mel Blank were just, I mean, these guys, Mel Blank voiced every looney to. By the way, Andy just went into the Johnny Depp thing. Did you notice that? I did. He's, Frank Oz is brilliant. I know. He does it every week. Every week. Every weekend.

9:10Every weekend. Every weekend. Every weekend. We can't figure it out. You mean the tone of voice? The tone of voice. The tone of voice. The way he talks, he literally just went. He literally just kind of, and it's sort of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. That's all it is. Johnny Depp is in here. Well, that's true. That's true. Johnny Depp doesn't body. He's like Madonna. Yeah. Madonna became some British. Yeah, but no, but Sparrow. But Andy just turned me and goes, oh, yes, Frank Oz. I don't think they were obsessed with this. You listen to me. Paul, I'm sure that you just noticed that I did something beautiful. That's what he does. Look at his rings. I love his rings. I love his rings. I read you. I see it. Yeah. Let's go. He called me the hammer. The sea is still. The sea is. Andy, he don't spend any time on the water. I'm over even arguing at this point. Because you know it's true. It's still. You were in the purple glasses. It's very depp. Why do you think I'm taking this guy on the boat excursion through the Galapagos? Absolutely. Ecuador. Yes. We're going. Are we though? Yes. We go to Ecuador for the first three days.

10:11And then this is really awesome. And then we go to Galapagos. Have a fire cap. Down the sail. Yeah. I sink the ship. But when I go down the sail, like a right through the boat. I'm sorry Paul. I've got a lost track of what the truck is. I've got a lost track of what the truck is. Basically, you realize you've now lost track of Paul, me, and the audience. Yeah. Do you know what I said? I come out to actually dress the Jack Sparrow. On the Galapagos, but I jump into the sail tonight. He comes down the mast, you know. Because he wasn't making an engine. I'm on the boat. I'm on the boat. We're not sailing. You know what I'm saying? Like Darwin did in the 16th. That's what Andy thinks it is. I really, I love, I got a, we won't get on the Darwin's territory. I got a whole Darwin thing in one of the times. So we're then, we go through the Galapagos for a week and then we come back to Ecuador. But this is the cool part. We've been down to, I've been as far down Panama, Costa Rica. But I've never been to South America. And when we get back, we go and dip off into the Amazon for a day.

11:13I've never done that. I want to. Oh my gosh. So what's the equator? Yeah. I mean, that then window. That's where you can stand on with one foot on the, oh, we got to do it. Yeah, we got to do that. Absolutely. We're doing it. I don't even know what that means, but I'm there. So the equator will be literally right between your legs. So it'll be warm. Well, it'll be warm, but it's more like the, maybe the warm place will, no, Jill. It'll be like half your body is in the North hemisphere and half. So half cold, half warm. Here's the crazy thing. Here's the crazy thing. If you were to flush the toilet with your right hand, it would flush clockwise. If you'd flush the other toilet right over here with your left hand, the water shoots out of the toilet. The issue is like a whale. Wait, really? No. Oh, it spins the other way. It spins counterclockwise, depending on gravitation. Because literally the gravitation falls the opposite way on either side of the equator. You can draw a line in between the gravity. You just should pull the first one on me. What are you doing, Jill? You. No.

12:13It's such an exaggerated version. No, it's no. Anyway, yeah. There is a name for that effect I'm forgetting, but I've never actually experienced it myself. I haven't tried it. Well, the only, I mean, it's, obviously, it's more apparent like when you go to Australia. You'll notice your flusher told you like, oh, that's interesting. It's going. It does go the other way. This way. Wow. You guys normally stay on the toilet when you flush them. Oh, that's the first thing you hear about it. Yeah, it's the first thing I did when I was about it. What is it? I was like flush. It's going the other way. Is that because the jets are angled different? No, no, it's gravity. It's gravity. You went to the bathroom and did it to see, I just did with an empty toilet because I just wanted to see the water. You did it, you took, you used the restroom and it was up minute to see the effect. That's not going to be wasting water just for this scene. Oh, that's filthy. That's filthy. It's filthy. He knows what's going on. I can't do it. He's the experiment. I can't do it. I don't look, I immediately close and ignore it ever after. And he could have turned it a lot of shame. That's not helping. And he's not telling. And he could have seen flushes his own flushes. Yeah, I like to think that, you know, I don't want to burden myself with my own bowel movements.

13:13You've taken this to a whole other level. In fact, I don't want to burden anybody. Yeah, the burden of bowel won't be on this spiral. That's why you get hold of it. This spiral needs to fly. God, I probably need to fly. That's your new line in the next pirate's world. Okay, so anyway, I want to get back to why we're here, guys. Yeah, take a day. Bring us back, Matt. You're killing me. Yeah, tell us another story of your travels. That's all he does on the pod now. It does a story about travels. Tell us again. Where are you going? I like traveling. Tell us just what you need to do. I'm actually interested. I want to hear the story of how we met again. No. How about we met again? I can tell it a second time. Why not? I don't know. How you got involved with drop it. How did it happen? It's kind of the only place I've worked. Really? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what happened. It's kind of the only place I've worked. Really? Did you guys watch College Humor back in the day? So that's the origin story, right?

14:13Yeah. That's where it all started. Yeah. So I was an assistant at College Humor. So now I've been working at that same company for 11 years. Wow, man. Through the different iterations that it's had. Crazy. But before that, I was just like a PA and an assistant at small little jobs. Crazy, right? But other than that, when I got hired at what was then College Humor's slash, also called Big Breakfast at the time, I just stayed there. So I've been there this whole time. And so I went from assistant to coordinator to now director and I had development there. Amazing to it. Very cool. It is so cool, dude. What a great, you know, to see the evolution of what's happened over there. Yeah. So crazy. It's hard enough to stick around but to reinvent and become relevant. And it's just it's quite an accomplishment. And now it's so funny because when you talk about how it started and now where it's at, I'm telling you, I feel like I hit that 35 crowd. They're all they're talking about your shows. It's crazy, man. Yeah, it's cool. It's so cool and it and I love. I actually wanted to ask you about this.

15:15How is the impact which as we see now is becoming way more impactful versus like network television than doing YouTube and doing all this stuff? It's shifting in that direction and we can see it now. But it's interesting that that's where this whole thing started. Like it didn't you guys didn't necessarily start trying with your eyes on like network television or well, you know, I mentioned Big Breakfast. That was the like TV arm that we had it was for started. So we were trying to develop and sell shows to outside networks at the time. The most famous one was Adam Roons Everything, which was on your TV. We also had a pop TV sketch series. Got it. But you know, that kind of wasn't panning out that much. Then I heard rumblings at the company where they were going to start this like streaming platform and I was like, what? Okay, I guess like I'm just this is my job. So I guess I have to work on this thing. Who knows if it's going to work. I guess I just you know, to me, I didn't really have a lot of hope in it at the time. And now it's like grown and grown and grown and pleasant surprise.

16:18Yeah, wow. It's working. Can't believe that. What a real stinker, but turned into something beautiful. Because to me, it's just like I get to work on fun stuff that I really like. Yeah. So that's how I treated it. What's that like? Hey, I consider myself lucky. You're just you guys just hate the show. What do you hear on this? Oh, we love the show. I love it. I love the show. I love the show. I love the show. These guys. No, I'm thinking. Okay, you just want different co-hosts. Yeah, be a mix it up a little bit. Maybe the Jonas Brothers. I don't know. Keep it fresh. You know, I feel a lot of kinship with you guys because I'm also from a family of all boys. Oh, you really? Yeah, four. How many? Oh, two. Wow, cool man. And what in the line were? I number two. So you're somewhat of a middle. Older middle, yeah. Dude. Yeah. I gotta give it up for that. I mean, wow. Love it. It's a special thing there when the youngest is a fair, he's 10 years younger than me. Okay, eight. So for a while ago, it was like the three so I was the true man.

17:18Wow. It's amazing. Does he want to be a pirate? A little one? Is my younger? I don't think he does. Hmm. What do you think? Did you see any like classic birth order stuff in your family? I was kind of like the calm, peaceful, respectful, gentle one. Nice. Of course. That's exactly what I was. I don't think so. You called him, you called him Jesus. He was irrational and loud and emotional and still is. What? I'm emotional too. No, I cry a lot. Oh, he cries a ton. But like when I'm happy. Yeah. I just, for other reasons. What do you call him crocodile tears which I really love, because I love crocodiles. Yeah. Aren't those those, those are like thick big ones that just kind of hang there? Big tears? It's the deme more. Not that one with that me. That's from ghosts. They just hang there. What is crocodile tears actually mean when you fake crying for sympathy. So it's like, oh, so is that and yeah, it's just you want attention. No, I didn't do that. No, you did. What did you think it was just thicker? I thought it was just one that just hang out in the face and look like with the pattern of a crocodile in the back.

18:18Oh, I do like that. But no, that's not what it means. Okay. See that again? The pattern of a crocodile on his back, you know, the skin, the skin, when they just hang out on the skin. That's what they create the crocodile in animation. I've never seen that before. I've never seen when you put them on tears. I put them on a TV. I've never watched ghost. You ever watch ghost? That's more than a joke. But it just makes it. What are alligator tears? Because you would know the difference. Well, alligators have a wider, more, they have a nickname. Nick Tadeoff knows alligators have a nickname membrane, which is a second eyelid. That's the most, I thought you were going to have with the TV. Listen, man, if you see a phrase like that in this damn show again, I swear to God, I'm going to kick your ass all the life to. Nick Tadeoff membrane. Nick Tadeoff membrane. You want to hear something interesting about that? I just thought I'd just say it. It's a, it's a, basically, it's goggles. It's, it's, it's nature's goggles. So when a crocodile goes underwater, it can close its nickname membrane, which is almost opaque and clear. But their eyes can still see it. And you can still, that's awesome. See, here's the crazy thing.

19:19You know that humans have a vestigial, dictating membrane, and it's that little thing right there, right? Little thing you see in the corner there. Yeah, I see that. Yeah, we used to have. Sick. But we don't have it anymore. Could we activate it to open and close? Yeah, like underwater, of course. Yeah. By remote. For all kinds of things, it would be the same reflex as closing or blinking your eyes when somebody blows up puff of air in there. Yeah, something like that. It would close. And this is always real controversial too, but I always say, and we have tailbones. We do have tailbones. That's still controversial. And you know what? I've never opened my eyes under the water. I do all the time. I've never heard. I've never done that a couple of times. You gotta do it, man. If I had this membrane, maybe it'll activate, you never know. Yeah. I've always been saying in the membrane. And I also pinched my nose when I jump in. No, really? No, actually, we needed, we should have, we, we, we, when we went in that river, we were so scared. Because we went in, where do we go? I was off for two to three. It's actually a beautiful river. It's actually one of those purest rivers in the world. Nothing to worry about, but of course with Google, Matt and I were, we, we, we, we, we jumped, we jumped, we jumped in.

20:19We did both of us where we're like, they're like, we know, we're supposed to blow out your nose and not, you know, breathe in through your mouth. There's a meabas clam in there. There's saccharine eating in the middle of the night. Yeah. And I excuse me at the water, we had, and it's just, we got water in my brain. No, yeah, there were on me, but they were in there. Yeah, put it that way. I think you would have been dead by now. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we were fine. We're fine. We're fine. We dropped it in. Oh my God. You lost. That's why you're supposed to be careful with nitty-pots too. Yes. I just saw that social media. I know. Because if you constantly do it, if you get something out of the tap, there's a little bit of water. Power sight in there. It's crazy. Yeah. Where was I talking about? What was I talking about? You guys got me talking about membrane. And Nick Tade. Nick Tade. Nick Tade. Nick Tade. Nick Tade. I remember. Anyway, so crocodiles, they have like a saline. That was about alligator tears. Alligators. Yes, crocodiles. Oh, yeah, I was making a joke about it, but now I'm curious about it. They're similar, but they also release a very salty tear.

21:24And it's actually, they're able, that's why they're able to, you're like saltwater crocodiles. Is that what you mean, serious, I know? Yeah. And then, that's why a lot of them can handle brackish and even salty water because they have a way of their bite. Like a saline to get an excess salt out. iguanas do it by snorning it. You see the salt collect on the nose. It's another way that reptiles get rid of the salt. That's why like marine iguanas, you'll see them sitting on a lot. And it's not, it's almost completely liquid salt. It sounds like a dolphin, like the, like don't, like, no, that's different. You can collect that and use it for your cooking. You could. I'm saying, this could be a new fact, but it's gonna be a popular business. They already make elephant poop coffee. They do. And civet coffee, but it's horrible. That's so bad, dude. They force feed. They force and they tie their necks. They can't, it's so bad. You don't want to mess it up. What's that? It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a kind of, um, like a weasel. It's really, it's really, it's really, uh, cool. Yeah, but it's stomach acid. Yeah. Is the perfect way to take the, the tenons, I think, or whatever, like, the bitterness.

22:29That's right. It's sit down so the coffee's really smooth. So they force feed it and then then then and they, and they, and they make, they, do not buy. No, it's really animal cruelty. And then they force feed it to the animal. They make the stomach acids, yeah, silken, and then it goes to the bathroom. Yeah. Then they pick the beans out and the upcharge, clean them, boil them. Yeah. And then they upcharge and people pay a lot of money for it. I'm really bad. I think they'd like chemically reproduce whatever it is. Right. Absolutely. And then they can just do it. Absolutely. Um, but for some reason, no one has tried that. They, uh, was rather just catch a bunch of civets, which are probably danger to this point. Of course. And, uh, shove a bunch of coffee beans down their throats. It's sad. It's really brutal. It's the same thing that they do with ducks for, uh, liver, goose liver, uh, tithe and stuff. Okay. Bill Gates is making some butter to his butter. You see this? He's got lab butter. So I don't, I got to be honest with you though. I got to be honest with you though. If you take a step back, I mean, and this is just my perspective, I think we're, that is the future. They're going to call it.

23:29No, but that like lab, yeah, it's true. But like lab grown, lab grown food is probably what's good. Like we came in full in support of that, except some states are banning it because, I know they, I mean, it's just like a, and like, what are they, but what are they making a with? Okay. Well, yeah, but honestly, there's too many people and we're killing a bunch of animals. What are they making it with? I'll tell you. Uh, like starter cells. You don't have like stem cells that just produce, it's the same biological tissue. Yep. I mean, it wasn't, it didn't come from an animal. It wasn't hard on an animal. It wasn't harvest from livestock. They're basically taking cells and multiplying them. Like I'm saying, multiplying them. And then it actually almost grows like a, like into a little stake. And this is the future. Like granted, of course, I'm sure there's going to be, it's got to be regulated. People will take advantage of it. They'll make it cheap. It, you know, they got to make, we got to make sure that we're, the nutrients are there, whatever. However, it is the future. We can't self-sustained with the livestock that we have. It's honestly a bit cruel and if we can reproduce it in the lab and it can, it can sustain us and nourish us, I'm off work.

24:29I'm on the fence here. Let me explain that. Oh gosh. Because I'm all about conservation. I do conservation in my life and I dedicate myself to that type of thing. But here's why I'm on the fence of it. And this is because, and it's a, it's an existential problem and it's way bigger than I can comprehend and solve. But here's my issue with it. Yes, we have to take the pressure off of farming when it comes to cattle and, you know, chickens and all this stuff because we just, it is very cruel and the animal suffer and this gets, comes my bigger topic here. The only thing is that stress is what tenderize the meat. When you eat, when that is sicko. No, no, no. So it does the opposite of what he said. I know it makes the meat. Of course. Not edible. Of course it does. I know it was that, but people said that what I would, that was like a theory at one point. Like, there's a transfer. Dress kill is good. The most important thing about food you are what you eat is the transfer of life energy

25:31from the thing you're eating to the thing that's eating it, whether it's plants, animals or even water. And they've proved this. Spring water from a good natural source, incredibly healthy versus distilled water. People don't know this lot. Distilled water, you will slowly dehydrate until death. That's true. Spring water because you need the minerals in it. You need and and there's life in it. It is actually alive. It is producing an electrical signal. That's true. But you need the distilled water for your nitty-pot. True. So that's not knocking entirely. It's true. No, you're 100%. No, it's sterile. Yeah. That's what it is. It's sterile water. Yes, you can use it infastimingly. Yes, you need steamers. You need steamers. You know on hard water. Yeah. But my point is that if you're consuming something that they made in a lab, does that have the same life force? We've got something that grew or that actually walked on the planet. It's got to be perfected. And if we switch over what would be the systemic outcome of consuming something without a life

26:31force for decades and would that have? But the cells are living cells because they are multiplying and breeding and you can look at them on Dr. and microscope. Yeah, then that gives me more hope. But I am a little bit worried with the transition of what actually food gives you, not just actually eating and consuming something that fills you up. So I'm a little, I'm on the fence because yes, we do need to solve for if we keep growing as a species, we can't keep growing our... We're also there. We can use modern technology and science to create a better structure. Struct infrastructure. Like that's possible, right? Sure. Well, of course. And keep all the greed and having the animal we'll see. And it's always a challenge. We're crazy. My parents say that I love that plants are alive. Everything starts out with good intentions, you know? So we'll see what happens. Everything starts out with good intentions. Even some of the most crazy evil. Absolutely. Sure. But sometimes we'll see some people who will watch out. Somebody comes to their good intentions, you go, that's going to be evil someday. That's not normally the...

27:32That's not a good outlook in life. Wait, say that again. Say that again. So anyone with a good intention is fine. Anyone that comes to your good intention, you look them right in the straightening eye and you say, I don't trust you. That's how all things start, even evil ones. That's interesting. It's true. There's always a good lesson to take. It's always a bad apple. But I was just going to say plants are alive. They're just... They're just easier. Oh, it is a bad apple in the bone. Say it, Andy. Plants are alive. They're just easier to catch. What I think is so fascinating is when plants scream. And they release toxins when you cut them out. I did. I think the book was called The Giving Tree? No. It was the secret language of trees, I think that was cool. Is that what it's called? Yeah, there's documentary as well. It is great. It is. It's awesome. They speak through chemicals. They do. There's also, Matt and I, they're walking palms. There's palm trees that move. They move. They literally move. They like... Not in the essence of action. They're taking steps, but they have... They move to the base of their... The base of their trunk. Because the canopy overgrows. And no, the base of their trunk has... It's alive and tried.

28:33And actually, the base of their trunk is actually the beginning of their root colony. I don't know why, even. All these different roots, right? And as the palm starts to lean, as it wants to get into a better place, it grows a new root. And so it can pick up a back one. And then it grows a new root. Pick up a back one. And it's almost got like, if you could do a time lapse over years, you would see it grow and pull and grow and pull and grow and pull. You guys should do a collaboration with the Crafts Brothers, because this is from what I gather, like a nature show. So you should... Well, I'm the name. Not supposed to be. Matt always seems to take our thoughts and finish them with some... No, Matt, I'm trying to do that. You mean, and grow. It's the only thing Matt's brain... Like the survival criminal video with Michael Jackson does. I can't help it. Okay. Michael Jackson was using those same principles and smooth criminal. That's right. And he did something to put nails on the bottom of his shoes and he hooked them in. I saw that video. Sick. Not cool. I want to try it. You got to try it. You've done it? Yes. I've done it. The nail? Yes. Where? How?

29:33I didn't hear it. You did it. Back in the early 90s, there was... Joe was doing... Joe was doing some sort of production show. I don't know what it was. Right? And I had just basically been exposed to Michael Jackson. I mean, brain explosion. I was as dedicated to him as any fan ever was. I probably would have fainted if you walked in front of me at that moment. And... You faint all the time, dude. but that's just from low blood sugar. But this was actually would have been from surprise. But I don't faint all the time. Anyway, you fake fainting. Crocodile fainting. We were, and I was, and I was, and I was asking this one choreographer how he did it. And the ground, if he said there's a, it's a board, he placed it on the ground and it has a little hook and on the heel of his shoe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh my God. And you already had that device just ready to go? No, and I said, oh my gosh, I would dream of doing that. And I had, and I was a taper. And I didn't. And I had tap shoes.

30:34He said, give me those tap shoes. What, you're like six years old now? And he, as like 23, he put another metal cap on the back that had the little hook or the thing. And sure enough, I will slid my foot in. There's a microphone here, Matt. You need to, and you can't split my foot in. And sure enough, I slid my foot into it. Nobody can see it. And it leaned over. And it was able to like do it and, estimate the angle. You got a full 45. It's about a 60, 60 degree angle. Yeah. You work on your calves you could get lower. You could. I can get it right. We should do it like, what does that thing, what does that thing you go under the bar like? Limbo. Limbo. We should do limbo, but with the Michael Jackson lean to see who could kiss the floor. I just can't get back up. Yeah. Ah, help me. Help me. Oh God. We replaced the lyric with, Matty, are you okay? Are you okay, Matty? Are you okay, Matty? You've been nip back there. Oh God. You've been nip back. I'm not smooth, I'm Matty. There's another musical. Jump mat. Jump mat.

31:34Jump mat. Jump mat. That. Oh. That. I love, I love bad so much. Oh, it's a great. Oh my gosh. Gosh. And then history. Oh, love that record. I really like Blood on the Dancefloor. Yep. There was an okay song from that. Demarole. Which one on that screen? Demarole. Ah. The screen was, I think that was off the, that was a one-offing it with Janet, right? Yeah. Collab they did. Yeah. You did them,Papapap. Did it. You did? So cool. It actually was a good, good game. Dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab. Dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, that you need. So good. So many voices in your arsenal. And I have a single one. You got to work on it, man. We've been practicing for decades. Solvers from Extreme Split Personality Disorder. Not you, though, Andy. It's, you know what's funny about that? I was actually reading one of those social posts where it said, you don't know what these symptoms could possibly mean you have. Oh. One, shoot. Tell me. What was the thing you said?

32:35You just said it before I cut you off. Split person. Yes. One said that if you have a split personality, you don't know it. You probably have gut problems. And I have gut problems and a split personality. Oh yeah. Irrational. I just thought that was very irrational. And then he's very irrational. Those are his. It's really weird to like, jekyll and hide. I could literally be the most rational person. I would say he's rationally irrational. That's really an empty. Just take out everything outside's rash. Matt's just a rash. He's a being. We love him. Matt has a rash. An identified one. It usually means you have gut problems. And it usually means you have gut problems. Did you do anything else last week besides? No, they said that that rash. That's not gut problems bro. Gotta go blue, huh? You guys can't keep it clean. I just chatted it.

33:36You're in for real dudes even. I would take some antibiotics. Dem wrong. Here's a bit of, here's a clear, there's a clean ointment to apply. Two times a day. I need you to put this backtrain on it right away. I think we know a little too much about rashes in this deal. Well, man. I need my, it's funny stuff. I'm, where were we? I don't even know. What are, what are you, what are you guys got coming up? What are you guys got coming up on, on dropout? I'm so glad you asked. We have a lot of new stuff coming up you guys. Come on. See how I do it, bro. Thank you. Thank you for getting us back on track. You're welcome. Mr. Conductor. Absolutely. We've, we shot two new shows this summer. And we're shooting another one next month. Cool, man. Can't really say anything more. That's it? We got three, that's a total of three. Well, and then another one next year. I mean, we're, we're trying to make a ton of new stuff. Which is great. And when, how does this, what's the, like, the release to roll out for this stuff? So we're, the funny thing about dropout is like some studios have like a current department

34:36and a development department. Okay. You know, like current programming versus new shows. Yeah. And for us, it's like just one team. So we are sort of overseeing our current slate all the time that we're constantly shooting. And then in the background, we're working on like, what else can we do? Like, how else can we innovate? What else can we make? It's a very Apple-like. We can't be except they're probably working with budgets that are a lot bigger than ours. And I think we might treat our people a little bit better. Hopefully. Yes. But, yeah. So then, so we got to shoot some new ones. Cool. Yeah. Very cool, man. Yeah. I love it. Always moving forward. But we can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. We can't talk about that. I wish. You went about a script. And it's like this thing. Oh, God. It's just a trilogy. This is really a trilogy. One brain. Oh, boy, sorry. Go ahead. There are like scripted more narrative stuff that we would like to be able to make, but

35:39we're a little ways away from that still just because like those things are expensive. They are expensive, man. So for the time being, we're focusing on like the unscripted improv driven stuff that we're known for. Cool. Okay. Love it. Okay. That's right. Do you guys consider yourself comedians? Would you use that word? I don't because I have such a high regard and respect for it, but I mean, we grew up around it. I will. Because do comedy. Yeah. We've done comedy. I have a whole stand up routine. I've been working on it for years. But no, I've never done stand up. No. You've never, have you ever like actually do it? No, I've never done stand up. And, but I've great respect for it. But we've grown up around. I love the road. Some of the best comics. And we've had personal relationships, some of the best in the world. It's true. And I was actually going to ask you this about, you know, understanding comedy. We grew up in a family that handled everything, not disrespectfully, but handled everything with a laugh. Try not to. Yeah. Bring levity to the situation. So Joe really started it with like the, you know, one man shows, but it was always

36:44entertainment. How do we make people laugh singing and dancing? That was our way out. That was our way to either out of serious situations, out of the neighborhood. We were from whatever, that was our way out. So yeah. Yeah, I mean, what about you? I mean, like, what was your family in comedy? Where does it come from? No, my family has no ties to entertainment at all. My dad is a, is a jokester, but I don't know that. See, I don't think he considers himself a cop. But he's a jokester. So maybe he's very fast. He's very fast. He's very quick. Okay. So it must be in the blood somewhere, man. It must be in the blood somewhere. For you to understand it, it's for everybody's got a funny bone. People that don't understand comedy, like they fundamentally don't understand it. Like they, I don't think you can teach. You can't teach. It's really hard. That's for sure. Timing you can't teach. It's you feel it. You literally feel it. It's like a, I do over here this, for our viewers, they're going to tune out as I've said this so many times. They've already heard. Have you ever heard Michael J. Fox explain timing? No. It's brilliant.

37:45You've said this before. I know, but I want to, we'll cut it out. We probably won't. Matt's going to use it. It's like driving. It's like driving a stick shift manual car. And you know when you hear the engine rev and you know, and when you get, it's just instinctual. It comes instinctual when to switch those gears. So you don't dump it up in one word. Over rev, but you rev it so you get and you get the laugh. Boom. You know it. It's true. I feel it. Like when you're in front of an audience, when you're taping, when you, you feel, if I say it now, it's too soon. If I say it in another two beats, it's too late. So I got to hit it right. For sure. If I word it like this, it won't be as funny. It will be as funny. Yeah. Totally, man. Certain words are funny in another word. Oh, for sure. Yeah. You know, and the best of the best know when to use those and how to use them. You know, and there's over and under and orp. You know, energy is high, energy is low. The dead pan's great. Some of the greatest films of all time and comedians of all time know how to use the dead pan. It's one of the best. Dead pan's great. Brilliantly, Matthew Broderick did an amazing and first-bular.

38:46I mean, dead. Oh, god, Chevy Chase. You know, there's a lot of great things. Anyway, so there is this one. There's a lot of, there's a lot of, there's a lot of, yeah, there's a lot of finesse in comedy. A lot of finesse in comedy in comedy is arguably harder than drama because it's not as universal. It's much more individual, right? So you, what you might find funny, maybe it doesn't hit me like that. It could be from past experiences. But drama, we can all agree on some pretty universal dramatic things, right? Death, you know, like, but I mean, you know, like things, things make us sad. I know it's that much more universal. Yeah. Hard break. That's famously the biggest one. But I mean, death of a break. Like, you know, there are universal things that we, as you'll be very easy for you and I'd go, oh my god, that's heartbreaking, terrible. You know, but comedy is much more subjective. So you go, oh, my, I love that kind of comedy and I could be like, that's not for me. I mean, when you go over to the other side of the pond, I mean, the UK doesn't really as much more, you get our humor and our, and we look at the dryness and sometimes don't

39:48get the British, like, for instance, the office, the British ones great. I personally love the one that we had better. I find that one funny. I watch both and I know, but, but most, forget it. Most people will say Ricky Jervais, even though how do you combat compete with Steve Correll, but I mean, I think it was great because he originated it. It was great. It was the original Steve Correll in my opinion for Americans or at what, at his version of that character personally, although I love Ricky, but you know what I mean? So it is subjective. So to universally make people laugh is actually really hard to do. The best, the best can do it and it's real feat. Absolutely. I said, you're Ricky Jervais, that's skip. I can't, I just, he's funny. Oh, Ricky Jervais. He's great. He's had some, some of the stuff he did with Liam, with Liam Neeson. He's not even, no, not even that particular. Just Ricky Jervais. It's pretty funny. He's a very funny guy. Extremely funny. But anyway, so, you know, so to have a platform based on comedy is a tough thing because you're universally hoping that you, that mask you find your stuff funny.

40:49And that's, of course, some of the stuff we make, some people will watch it and they'll be like, I don't get it. This is for me. Right. You know, yeah, but screw them. It's enough to have like really passionate people that love what we make and they do, you know, stick around and you do. You know, so I'm, I'm really grateful for that. Yeah. I've often listened to Larry David say that his brand of comedy, people hated it. They didn't get the scripts that he would write. Never. And, and even Seinfeld, when it first came out, was panned. People were like, eh, nobody watched it. Brandon Tartekoff, who I got to know very well because he was an NBC running it when I was a little kid and he discovered me and put mad on that work put. I remember his face very, very well. Brilliant. One of the brilliant minds of television, the ones that really understood it. Yeah, he was. There are really a network executive. There really aren't. I mean, he was running the show when the people the sitcom had its biggest heyday on NBC, like by far. The people that that used to run television were also really creative brilliant minds. Whereas today, a lot of our industry is run by business people are marketing people. Yeah, they're not creative people.

41:50They're not, they don't really actually, they might appreciate. Talk about that timing, but they probably couldn't execute that timing if they tried. They just, yeah, they, they, they just, they don't get it. They want to expand. It's about how to grow business. And I get that, but people like Brandon Tartekoff had both. He understood the business, knew how to grow the network, made and took NBC from, from last place to first place, must see TV, all these incredible, like, kind of things that all these years later, people like, I don't know, why do I know about that, you know, Brandon Tartekoff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, it was, but, but people like, like him understood that and he loved Seinfeld. And it came out and it tanked and he said, no, we're not going to cancel it. And he had a backbone and he said, we're going to make this show is going to be hit. I promise. And not until like the middle of the second season, you know, did people go, wait a minute, I kind of like this. Yeah. And then it turned into, actually turned into a hit in the third season. It did. It was, it was, it could take a little bit, yeah, it could take a little bit to find an audience for something. Oh, it would. And people are very scared today, you know, they get, go, it's over, move on.

42:52Six episodes. Just move on. A lot, if you're not, you're not making it work. One more, move on. You know, but sometimes comedy does need to sort of like gestate and sort of, you know, cure itself for a minute, you know, that's sort of the story of dropout too, because when we were owned by IAC, which is like a larger corporation, which I think now the name of that company is people ink or something. Okay. But they owned us. So we had this like mother company that owned it. And in the first year, we weren't profitable as a streamer. And so they said, well, we're selling you guys. Like they didn't want to fund us anymore because they weren't seeing the numbers that they wanted. Oh, it's exactly. Sam Reich, my boss, incredible guy. He took it off their hands and grew it into something really, really great. Isn't that amazing? Because he had a vision for it. There you go. But we also pivoted in the sort of stuff that we made from then until now. Because back then, we were trying to do sort of scripted bigger versions of our YouTube sketches. And that wasn't really landing and the shows were more expensive. And then we just like really found our rhythm when we started doing like improv driven, like

43:52it's great. And then we started doing the comedy shows, games shows. And improv is so much fun. Oh my gosh, improv. It is great. I love it, I love it. Yeah, it's a blast. Especially when it's an improv comedy. Improving drama is a little more, but improv comedy is incredible. I like improving drama. Oh God. Oh my gosh. Yeah, there's no hit in this scene. Go with it. Go with it. This is a scene where your big brother kicks your ass a little bit. That's funny stuff. Yeah, I know. All right, so two shows are coming out next year. Yeah. Well, no, they are actually one of them is coming out in November. Okay. One of them is coming out in January. Okay. And then the other one that we're shooting about to shoot, I'm not sure when that's coming out probably next summer. Okay. Cool, man. Perfect. Well, none of them are with us. So that doesn't really matter. If you guys want to pitch something, you know, just call me a hecky attitude. Yeah. That's my ideas, man. Really very funny. I remember Andy, when you did the show, you came back actually to the house.

44:53You were inspired. He was inspired. I was like, you know, this is actually really cool. We should come up and then we were thinking about before this all ever kind of, we were out all kind of came together before that we were like thinking about something and then we kind of got sidetracked. Joe and I got taken to these coasts. We were doing some things. And then, but now we, we love you guys. We would love to work with you guys. Yeah. Be like those athletes. I think we should take our talents to drop out, fellas. What? Yeah. Just became the broad James over here. Athletes, you know, they're like, you know, I am the good. That's why I decided to take my talents to South Beach. That's what you call yourself the goat of sitcom. The goat, the goat of the half hour situational comedy. Oh, man. So weird. No. Anyway, but that's what they say. Sometimes I'll be taking my talents to South. Yeah, I know, I know. I think you did say that. I did. That's what I'm saying. LeBron James. Yeah. Taking my diminished talents to Philly. No, he's just. Joe, I like him. I like him. He just, you know, whatever. All right. He just pops around, you know, I'm old school. I have no opinions on sports, sadly. It's okay. Hey, man, you got to know who you are.

45:53I don't really can't pay attention when I'm watching something. I just, my eyes glaze over. I get that membrane. The dictating membrane. Yeah. The dictating membrane. I can't focus. Love it. What is your favorite thing in the world? My favorite thing to watch. What is your thing? Comedy. I'm always behind. I'm always behind on TV. Like just now I'm watching the Proudos. No. Beef. Yeah. I think like two years after everyone else saw it, I'm usually on a delay. Are you in season one? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. I mean, they're both very good. Yeah. Good concept, man. I'm never watching what's currently area. Got it. Got it. Yeah. I watch too much. Like I get to the point where like there's nothing else to watch. Like there's major droughts. I'm like, I've seen literally, do you just have the TV kind of go into? I watch every 24 hours. Yeah. I watch everything. I can't stop. Like my, I just, I digest. I just got through season two. It's more of a drama, but sugar. Yeah. Wow. Great show. I love the show. Yeah. It's pretty fun. Have you seen sugar? Have you seen silo? I love the sugar. I love the apple tea. It's.

46:54It's. You pick up. You are my candy. Yeah. Then in my near, not in you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But sugar is great. Really cool show. It is a good show. Amazing. I'm not going to give it away, but there's a real cool twist. There's a lot of apples. I'm a hearty, I'm a hearty, I'm a hearty. I'm a hearty, I'm a hearty. Oh, your cue was when I said, you are my candy guy. I'm going to be your candy, anything. Listen, when they, when I said twist, you said, come on, baby. Let's do the twist or twist and shout. Oh, my God. At least that I was in songs. Yeah. Yeah. That was right. I see. That's comedy, fellas. Yeah. We'll do a little solo thing. I would never do anything without you. Take a leg out of the tripod, it'll fall down. It's true. That's why we're still here. Right. I'm working on lab-grown legs. So, socks working on lab-grown legs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

47:54Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. No, it's funny stuff. Well, we know. That's our concept. Well, that's our concept. Joe for a drawbide. Is this scripted? This is a pitch. A lab-grown. We can't be scripted, man. Joe decides he doesn't want to work with his two brothers anymore because he can't control them, so he lab-grows to other brothers that are exactly us, but he's got full control. Yes. But then they start to get, you know, lines of their own, like Johnny Fiver live. Exactly. Yeah, dude. There it is. Hi, robot, baby. Hi, robot. Yes. We're going to have to get a lot of a location. We'll just limit it to one room. Exactly. One room. I, robot. We'll call it the worst-time robot. Hi, robot. It's the worst tail. It's literally the worst. I created a robot. We could just do robots. It did.

48:54That is better. They turned him in there. Hey. Whoa. Whoa. Joe. Yeah. You got. Anyway, Joe, uh, uh, uh, or we could do. You said, I, bro, what was it? I, robot. I, robot. I like that one. I like that. There's another one in there. I'm trying to, there's not. That's the one. I just show. Robot technology. There's something else that I've bought. Cybrose. Cybrose. I don't know. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out and we'll come back to it, but we're going to pitch this to you. Yeah. It's going to be epic. Lab-grown bro. Lab-grown brothers. It's disgusting. It makes no sense. It doesn't make sense. Hi, robot. Anyway, I think we are now deteriorating into, we've deteriorated. Nothing. Paul's been classy. Everything else around him has been crap. Right. Right. That's going to be our social pose. It'll be Paul's day like this. And it just us is like crap. Yeah, the poop emoji. Yeah. Pup emoji. He's put with our face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll chat it. Andy chats all this pictures now. Yeah, dude. Yeah, yeah. Andy, what are you guys doing?

49:55A new photo shoot. Andy, you don't own this boat. I was out on it. Doesn't even look at these odds. Andy, those are all the ones. Those are all the ones. You can always tell because when you're this, like in this normal picture, like, wait a minute. Let me show you. No, this is not your face. What's their topic? Yeah, eyebrows are all different to teeth. You know, this chat does its thing. And it kind of looks like you're like, it's so, when you're like, oh my god, it looks nothing like me. No, it's not me. No, it's like a weird pedropescal. Yeah. That's nice. Wow. Did you see the internet went nuts because somebody posted, you know, Joe Kerny from Stranger Things. Yeah. You got the great band and everything. It's a picture of Joe. So he's not necessarily like a big buff guy. That's it. Wait, what? Yeah. Oh, that's a chat. I see that he can look terrible. Anyway, Joe Kerny's not like this big buff guy, but the AI, he was, I guess he was on the beach, but somebody didn't AI version of it. It looks really good. People are flipping out, thinking the Joe got like jacked for a roll. It's so funny. It was all AI. It's so funny. You have those videos of us still loan doing his stunts.

50:55Oh, yeah, jumping over trains and stuff. Whoa, that one I sent you looks. I know, it looks pretty authentic. Whoa, how you feeling about AI man? Generally not great. Yeah. He just zaps and disappears. How does like your generation, because I know you, I've been hearing you guys are against like generative AI. Yeah. And which is good. I think I was, I was worried. I was thinking they're just going to not be able to come up with their own thoughts. This next generation coming up or what's the deal? I am a little scared that it's making people less creative and less smart. Yeah. I think younger kids now are so reliant on it. They go to, they turn to it for everything. Write this email for me, write this text for me. It's kind of scary. I think the prospect of growing up in a world that people aren't really thinking for themselves in that way. Yeah. I agree then in terms of like it replacing artists and replacing jobs. Very against that. Yeah. But I guess in sort of it has its place in certain like making pictures like that. Not that. Well, like certain workflows automated things. Yes. Data like I'm sure that there are good ethical uses for it.

51:56Yeah. I agree with you know, you're right. Historical data, all the kind of data and stuff. Absolutely. Yeah, it's phenomenal. It shortens the time period that you need to do this really functional thing for doctors. Great. Great. I know me too. Use them. Exactly. Yeah. The art is, it's a slush. Create a song for me. No. Oh yeah. It's really wack. You know what I found? I agree with you. I started really liking some of the AI songs. But then I got to a point where I was listening to when I was like, you bet. I get it. No, I get it. Why I don't think this is even though what they can. Speaking of things lacking life and lacking soul, that's that you go. But I felt it. I'm seeing the car and I'm like, it songs amazing. It's amazing. But there's something that I'm not connecting with on a human level. And you can't go see that person perform. Right. You have not real. It's not based on experience that they've had. Right. I remember when AI was still kind of new. I like used it to, I gifted my niece and nephew like this little, I wrote the story.

52:56I wrote them a, a kid's book and I used it for the illustrations. I was like, how cool this is. And now I'm like embarrassed that I did that. Right. Totally. I want to go back, get their copy and write a note in it. Like when I made this, I didn't know better. It's just like, I wouldn't do this again. Yeah. But the story was all my own. But the pictures I was like, oh, it looks like them. How cool. Yeah. I know. I know. No, I agree. I look, there's a, there's a right, there's a place for it. And right now that battle is going to be hopefully finding that, that balance. You know, it'll be the balance, it'll be the balance battle. I mean, that's really what it's going to be. Yeah. Because there'll be certain uses. Even in film, like, certain, instead of CGI, believe it or not, it'll be AI. Of course. And it's better than the, it's better and cheaper. I wasn't a big fan of a lot of the CGI. I thought it looked terrible a lot of it. But the AI looks better for sure. So, yeah, if you want to create a, you know, volcano erupting, AI is great for that. Because you really can't really shoot that, you know, but you can't, but don't let it replace the stuff you can actually practically shoot.

53:58Because that's always going to be better in my opinion. I agree with that. Don't use it to replace things that you can practically shoot. But I would also say like, I fear for the industry with people losing their jobs. Like they're really talented, the effects artists. I know. There you go. That could make those things. I know. I know, man. And 100%. I think we go back to most effective. It's weird. I love practical. I love practical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The way George thinks it. Even if it looks a little chinsy. I love it. Yeah. Something. Look, I'll even, I'll even, you know, say when it comes to animation. I love the hand drawn animation. There's something visceral about the original Disney movies. Yeah. Like you watch Cinderella and Peter Pan these seven year old movies. They're incredible. Lating the tramp. Like incredible. Yeah. As good as frozen is. Something is missing in their eyes. I don't like it as much. It doesn't hit me the same as those movies. Like I watch it more of like a like a video game. Like I'm not really like at their eyes and they did a great job. But it's not good. It's not as good. I think it's also because like so many movies now have that same style.

55:00Yes. So they don't feel distinct one. That's right. That's right. The Latin lived. Yeah. Breathed. Beauty and the Beast lived and breathe. These movies Lion King. Today. And in our, and Disney is. The Lion Action Lion King. Oh, so it really should really was not. Yeah. First of all, was that John Favreau too is normally. Yeah. He'd call it live action. So good. Live action digital. Yeah. Yeah. I wasn't. So you know what's funny. This is interesting that you say this. I don't think they keep doing that. I don't know this for sure. But I have a strange suspicion that Favreau was also disappointed in that version. Because he just released. The real version of the Lion King. It's called Lion. But for five years, they followed a lion cub all the way to be in coming King. Yeah. It just random. It had to be coming King. Yeah. Coming King. What do you mean? Literally. They said, just can't wait. They're singing in this live. No, I'm just waiting. Wait, they followed a real lion cub coming. Right. And the right becoming King of the pride. King of the Masai Mara. They call King's Lion King. I didn't know that. That was an actual thing.

56:00Oh, yeah. No, no. So the lions become, especially in the in the Mara. And the reason is because the, the, the, the, what was the name of the Mar? Uh, Marseille Mara. Marseille. The Masai. The Masai used to be lion hunters and warriors. But when lions started to become really endangered and they realized that the lions, when I'm bringing in ecotourism, they switched over from warriors to protectors. Yes. So now they, they, they each time instead of going out in the men instead of going out and killing a lion to becoming a man, they have to protect a lion to become a man. Like, did you know that it's really cool? Did you know that? The Nala actually means female lion. Yeah. I think does Mufasa mean lion? I think Simba means lion lion cub. I know I knew that they mean. Boombo means war, yeah. Yeah. But that was all right. So in that culture, yeah, when a lion, they become king. Scar means evil lion. And you become king. Scar doesn't mean evil lion. It does. That's the Dixie. Okay. Sorry. To become king, you need brother. It's true. Which is true.

57:00Um, especially in the Mara, a single male man, how powerful he is will not become king without brothers to back him up in the Mara in particular, but most male pride. So they don't get any ideas. I know. Hey, I've got brothers. Um, no. Um, so they, they followed this one cup. Now it's usually when you watch a lot of nature documentaries, they'll take a baby cub of juvenile and a piece of story together in the editing room. That's kind of pretty standard. Yeah, they had music. Yeah. And they make a story out of it. Yes, I watched out of all the filmmakers, mouths, I watched, I watched a round table them talk about it. This was truly, they've, they've, they've, they've met, they've followed a pride in that pride. There was a little cub that was kind of quirky and they just decided to make the documentary about him. They spent four years. It just so turned out that this cub became king. And the story of it is eerily similar to the lion king to the point where John Favreau called up on Zimmer and said, I just heard the soundtrack.

58:01It's incredible. It's incredible. It's incredible. The call upon saying, he's saying, you're not going to believe this what I tried to do. Bro, what is the original intention? This was for the Lion King movie or no, it's not the memory. And my, here's my fear that he's saying that he doesn't feel, he thinks the Disney put too many shackles on him. He couldn't make the movie he wanted to make. So he went out and made a real Lion King after the fact that's my suspicion. That didn't say that in the interview, but the way he was talking, he was so, I didn't see one interview him talking about the live action at Lion King like this. Like he was actually talking about how this was the real Lion King story. And how he finally got to do what he wanted to do. And he called upon Zimmer and Hans Zimmer was like, after he saw it on Zimmer, what made it a different Lion King? Was there a savage story? Yes. There were hyenas. Hyenas. It's funny sidekick. Oddly. Yeah. Oddly similar. Where like a mere brother turns on the other brother. It's wild. And on this Simba is Swahili. Literally means Lion. Yeah, there it is. Okay. Mufasa is a name rather than a straightforward Swahili word meaning that means King or ruler.

59:06Got it. Okay. And Rafiki, literal meaning friend, Humbah, literal meaning foolish and Akuna Maktana is no worries. Yeah. I'm being a Lion. Your name is Lion. It's like if your name was Guy. Yeah. Yeah. I always wanted to start a product. It's going to be called the Fatali brothers because Fatali and Natalia's brothers. So it'd be the brother of the other brothers. Yeah. The brother's like an ATM, right? There's no one doing on the sheet. Yeah. ATM machine. Yeah. I'm man. I'm man. That's what you're being called a man when you're a man. Oh, I'm man man. Anyway.
