221: Corpse Brain 2 - Corpse World

[00:00:29] It's a podcast for geniuses and the only podcast where we look at the four pillars of modern misery anime, gaming, posting, and jobs all more miserable now than ever I'm Tom, an anime sicko I'm Joe, I'm an anime sicko So my current read of this situation politically is that we now live in a pariah state

[00:00:55] we are going to become rapidly poorer as a result I understand why, cause and effect here but like we're nice Tom We didn't do anything wrong, like we're literally the anime sickos like this doesn't follow This was a key theme in the audio drama Yeah, it's like you don't, like we're them like that's not, this is not a metaphor here

[00:01:25] like we are the anime sickos and like we're like, and like we're good Yeah, before we get into the meat of the episode and what a meaty one it will be we have to thank five new patrons who I assume have patronized us to reward us for our great Lennon video game which is very funny The Beatles guy, not the Yeah, yeah The communist guy Well, yeah No, John Lennon, John Lennon The one who walked

[00:01:51] We just don't have the chops to write one that funny for the other guy So the thing is that Lennon speaks in a Russian accent and I don't understand Russian accents well enough to write in a comedy version the way I can write in a comedy English accent where he says, oy, me bird, Yoko and shit like that So that's why it was that Lennon, specifically But people like our Lennon game and I think these five people included

[00:02:20] First new patron is going to be Matthew C. Thank you, Matthew Thank you, Matthew Can't think of any jokes for your name especially because this next one I am absolutely baffled I looked at this up, Joe I looked this up and I think this is this is like a quote from Samuel Beckett but I don't know the context and when I read it to you I wonder if you'll know what this means I took advantage of being at the seaside

[00:02:49] to lay in a store of sucking stones They were pebbles but I call them stones What do you think of that? I think someone's reading with the correct mindset You're like, I'm gonna enrich my mind I'm gonna see what Beckett's all about Hold on, I need to earmark the sucking stone thing so I have this forever I can turn it over in my hand and mind mouth So the sucking stones Do you suck on the stones

[00:03:17] or do the stones give you dome? All you're saying is there's like a hole you just stick your dick in I don't think that it wouldn't I imagine it would be dry I guess it would be seaside so like the waves could be lapping it Yeah, whatever Thank you that series of sentences for your money This next one is much more normal It's just Ryan Hayes Thanks, Ryan Thank you, Ryan I'm thinking about this the sucking stones again

[00:03:45] It's just like this cave sucks you off is what it is So, Joe it's funny that you should mention you're thinking about it again because this next one implies some sort of conspiracy that's going on whose origins I can't speculate on because this next patron their name is plugged up with sucking stones I don't know There was a meeting, right? Like Right?

[00:04:14] I don't think I've encountered the phrase sucking stones until today and we're getting hit one, two I don't buy it So here's my the only hypothesis I have that makes any sense other than again there's a conspiracy whose origins they cannot speculate on My only hypothesis is the person who had the two sentences of the Samuel Beckett quote they donated they pledged rather then they were like

[00:04:44] I don't like this account anymore and deleted that account started a new account and was like I'm going to have a more streamlined sucking stone based username and then that's this and I got two emails as a result that's my thought You gotta check if the billing info is different I mean that's the way you Columbo this I could I don't know if it's worth it because that's like scary Oh yeah scary If you're the sucking stone person send us an email and then finally our last new patron

[00:05:14] is Brian Koplek Brian my man thank you Brian how do you feel about sucking stones? Do you like them? Are they fun to you? Are you one of these people? Is this a thing everyone knows but us? I have every once in a while I feel like that kind of thing is going around but not today Joe because let's get into the media episode this episode anime sickos we do a lot of different types of things we do gags we do bits

[00:05:44] we goof around but sometimes listening to anime sickos is school it's the same as college to hear our genius words I think this is one of those episodes one of those times when there's like an awful sort of thing happening in the world and you sort of feel like it's in the air and why? What does it mean? Why is it in the air? And then we fucking tell you with like we say yucky mummy and like you understand because we said it in a funny way folks

[00:06:13] if you feel bad lately if you feel like things are no good if you're wondering why there's terror to be clear yeah this so the thing I posted this and I can't like separate this is not the actual problem because the problem is that everything is going to become expensive and shitty and bad but the I just can't shake how like every business leader in every industry

[00:06:42] like didn't think he would do the thing he said he was going to do love talking about what he was going to do like promised he would do it wasn't like it wasn't like we got the tapes folks look something he did previously on a smaller scale if I'm remembering correctly the reason there was the farming bailout in his first term was the result of he fucked things up with like tariff stuff on a smaller scale

[00:07:11] so the only reason you would believe that he wouldn't do it is that you believe that like dad will come in always there is a dad and there so I don't know if you know this but the dad is the guy with the tariffs it's a rough situation yeah dad turns out like dads dads can hit you like sometimes they do they hit and and I know like we've also disappeared like this is not like the first

[00:07:41] bad like it's just these are all concurrent scary things but the the all-encompassing aspect of the tariff thing is just like a real like spirit bomb like in the beginning of the Frieza fight before he goes super saiyan when like Frieza doesn't know there's a spirit bomb above him and then he gets hit by it and it's like bigger than the planet like that is the policy choice we are dealing with here it's not like a thing you can like not into politics this

[00:08:11] yeah yeah um so the so if you get hit by a spirit bomb as we all did you can feel disorienting how did this get to be this way what does it mean that a spirit bomb was being charged all this time and I get hit by it I will explain now with the hilarious term that will explain it all in a catchy way I previously we did an episode called uh corpse brain this is a phenomenon that a lot of people in power have where their brain their ability to perceive things

[00:08:41] essentially died I say died but what is more accurate is it just sort of froze at a period in the distant past and and the things they were thinking then are just dialed in forever and it will never change you saw this a lot with the Clinton class of politicians because they're third way forever now you understand like they had the 90s brain and then they they came to power on that and that's why it's just forever I still see headlines about what

[00:09:11] James Carville thinks like corpse brain like that that is insane that should not occur if anyone has a mind that is perceiving things that have happened the last 30 years but they don't because they have corpse brains the thing is while that was right and we were right to say that and it still is right now it never stopped being right where we failed is that we didn't go far enough because how could we know

[00:09:40] the real fact is folks it's corpse world we are in and this is the key this is the realization that unlocks the doors all of the explanations for everything that's happening to you are downstream from this we are in a post function world uh there's like do doing is not doing it's a lost technology it is a rusty mechanical thing someone found we're trying to backwards engineer what it is

[00:10:09] but just uh I think again I said this at the start which is all the business people were like oh you won't do it and it's all they thought that also because like they no one was gonna do anything if it was the other way anyway yeah uh it was just like not an option I thought like rich business types had their self-interest in mind in a more like specifically selfish way where it's just

[00:10:39] like oh my big pile of money's fucked oh no I gotta do something but I guess not there's no doing that's the mistake there's no like why isn't anyone doing anything it's like asking it's like here's what it is you gaze upon a pile of shall we say gray bones uh they could be in a grave or they could just be on the ground who knows how they got there but the point is you're looking at gray bones and you wonder why aren't they doing anything it's like well how like what

[00:11:09] you know that's just not relevant doing is not something that has anything to do with these gray bones and hasn't for ages when the bones were white maybe they could have done something when the bones had like meat on them definitely they could have done something but we're talking fully gray that's the that's the end state of all bones is gray bones and that's where the entire world is why did this how come no one stood up for their self-interest it's like well because

[00:11:38] again we are in a post function world you know how like music genres have like post this and post that you know something something has run its course style wise and we're leaving it behind function like the concept of things happening uh and like stuff doing what it's supposed to do that is just like you have to put that out of your mind like and also you have to understand that like like oh if only we have the right people we vote in the right

[00:12:08] people it'll get fixed like no no no no no it won't that time is gone we've talked to before and this is well known that the the impetus of all this sort of evil shit especially since covid is boss's revenge you know i'm gonna kill my evil workers how dare the workers have said shit to me the boss this is an oversimplification but it really just in addition to just uh hatred for just like this this

[00:12:37] class of employee it also just felt like we decided that going on the computer for work is gay you're not allowed to do that anymore fellas like it's it's it's just gay now uh and i know that's nothing that's not based on anything but like culturally i just like feel like that's what has occurred it is what's occurring it's 100 it's boss's revenge it's like you want to go on your little computer and make your money fuck you no i don't like you anymore boss's revenge it's

[00:13:07] gay now to do that and you're fucked and the thing about boss's revenge well the downside of that obviously the upside is the boss gets revenge uh the downside is they're able to the companies that and you know governments are essentially companies at this point the companies no longer are able to function as much yeah because they have to immiserate like that's the goal like it does no longer function it's you know we gotta hit the piggies make sure the piggies know

[00:13:37] uh their piggies and that we can target their weak spots uh when the world still cared a bit about doing and function there was sort of a balance between boss's revenge and like we still need to we still need to do the thing we no longer need to do the thing doing the thing is passe and it's being phased out boss's revenge is now able to proceed apace with nothing to stop it and like what's

[00:14:07] the difference like it doesn't matter it used to be that like the the big asset labor had was like you need us to do the thing and it really feels like uh oh it's we we are caught with our pants down in that it is no longer relevant because there is no value placed on undo and this isn't even in the AI conversation is just like why would anyone do anything and yeah the the AI angle here is like

[00:14:36] can it replace your job or replace the job you recently lost uh no but the thing is can it do like maybe like 70% of it and maybe like convince your boss it's workable yeah that's the thing that sucks uh the standard is so low because again like we don't post-function world for example you know food and eating those things everyone wants to do what if there just wasn't an FDA

[00:15:06] and like what if all food became extremely what if all prices at the grocery store got multi-attack and like procked two or three times like that would be really bad and everyone would hate it right well it doesn't matter because we're in a post-function world and that vector of the discussion is not relevant that it would be bad and things would function less again not fucking important we are fully in corpse world

[00:15:35] we are in the gray bones you were talking about like what about the whale oil like what but there's no whale oil compartment in my lantern it's like that's that was the last stage of the game like that that's look it's like a reminded of whatever strategy game maybe empire earth where obviously when you hit like the right level like oil appears on the on the map and it's just like oh we've hit the oil part so we don't need

[00:16:05] doing from the previous age yeah god and like talking about ai you've heard of the concept of technological and shitification where it's just like it is sort of a given that all technology will get worse it's like any website if you like it well enjoy it now because it's going to get worse and it's sort of across the board it's always being proven correct yeah it's going to get premium tiers the things you were used to will be paid

[00:16:35] it just sucks like it will happen the same way gravity occurs and makes things fall why is this happening you'd say why can't the devil see this so much you probably well yes the devil the devil is the cause of all bad things and that sort of is a given we're talking a little more specific but it is the devil let's be real folks if you're a new listener if you listen from western kabuki or what have you if you aren't familiar we just want to make it clear now that the devil is a real red man he's not a

[00:17:04] metaphor and he's 5'5 he runs very quickly he's like built like a jockey he's like buff but small and his turning radius is insane he has been within five feet of you today I guarantee it and when your co-workers open their mouths sometimes his voice comes out that out of the way back to my point why is in shitification so guaranteed to happen

[00:17:34] people say they say it all the time maybe you've said it why can't they just make a app slash website slash what have you that does the thing I want and nothing else well again we go back to the point from which all explanations roll downhill we are in a post-function corpse world and doing is not a thing no more if anything gets done it is a complete fluke that they're gonna patch out next time because they were like oops we thought that wasn't gonna

[00:18:04] happen and this is why AI is allowed to not fucking work and be wrong all the time us fools who think that the dead world is still alive say why that's wrong why that's not in fact the correct information that that AI just put out and that's a problem no it's not we're in a post-functional world it doesn't matter that the AI doesn't do the thing that it's supposed to do because again what is do no one do no more

[00:18:33] there is no do yeah the purpose of AI is to produce something that can go in the slot where something is needed like people quickly backward engineered the tariff math which was just like oh so this is like fucking stupid and arbitrary and not at all and like this is clearly what they told the the AI to do and it's like okay but like the goal was to put that in front of you you bitch like it wasn't that it was right uh they just made the computer

[00:19:02] fabricate like the thing they could then shove down your throat like literally it doesn't being right doesn't matter also I I talked to you about this beforehand and this is a bit of an aside I the goal is to immiserate everyone I understand that the only thing better than being rich is being rich when everybody gets insanely poor I guess yeah so I know that's the goal but in this case the tariff case he like just

[00:19:32] doesn't get them though right yeah no totally see that's the thing that's another thing because you were talking about you mentioned to me like do you think do you think Trump actually thinks this will work do you think his yeah like the justifications are are lies or does he I mean they're lies but does he think they're lies and is it the egotism that like I'm gonna do this insane shit and then the outcome will be positive because everything I do is good or I know what I'm doing I think that to

[00:20:02] even ask that question implies that he's working on a vector or spectrum that he is not because work or basic what we're basically talking about is work or not work as is a function or not function and what if I fucking said is the is the fact that all explanations flow down from it is post function time the functional world is gone and he is the king of the post he is the deadest brain in the

[00:20:31] corpse world so to him it's not really he put himself in the best position and then everyone lost all their action points and can't do stuff anymore yeah I guess a good way to a good metaphor would be do like it'd be like asking you heard that I said on a podcast the phrase yucky mummy and you were like does Tom think that's gonna work or not and it's like there's like what huh like working is not a part of this

[00:21:00] here I just wanted to say yucky mummy and he just wants like he just thinks tariffs are cool like he thinks they're badass because Lee Iacocca told him tariff once while he was high on cocaine in 1985 I also think he imagines it like as like a like a toll like as in like you hold out your hand and these countries just like have to pay you directly maybe that's what's going to happen maybe that's why he has that big sovereign wealth fund that you're not supposed to have he

[00:21:29] also unveiled that you know weeks ago which is fun I'm sure we'll find out that the money from the tariffs is somehow going there or whatever I don't fucking know anything that happens it's like yeah okay that tracks because like we're just so obviously like yeah it is that bad the scope of the problem is that insane I I I'm not surprised but I'm obviously like appalled constantly I I the the fact that you

[00:21:59] could track the like indexes before he did the tariff announcement where he said we're for sure doing this and literally up until the point where he said it was even going up a little bit because like it like there was just such optimism and belief in like the the boner spirit of the market that like of course this can't be real and like obviously that was not the case and it this is also the

[00:22:29] same it is apparently it's funny unfortunately this is the same thing where it's like don't obey in advance it's like I'm not obeying anything the issue is everyone with power is doing that though I'm just some fucking guy and this is how I feel about this it's just like this is all right man all my numbers suck now that's the fucking thing about being a normal ass guy is that like we aren't we live in corpse world but we don't have corpse it must be so fucking fun to have corpse

[00:22:58] brain dude it's got it's like so chill these guys got to be loving it but like we've talked about this so much it's so frustrating that we are ever right about anything because what the like what does that mean if we having our brains are right and the world as a whole is so wrong it's just like oh yo a yee collar tug oh also I bet someone listening is thinking that we have done a phoenix

[00:23:27] right inconsistency in our testimony and are ready to go objection uh no what i'm referring to is so we're saying you know the concept of doing has been phased out and we are in a post-function world where things happening or not is not relevant anymore but then you just said I can't everyone was like I can't believe he did the tariffs doesn't that isn't that doing he did something he made

[00:23:57] a big action he the tariffs functioned the tariffs are like stepping on a hose like it's just like a destructive act it is not doing anything like it is inherently a removal of function from the world at large it is yeah yeah like there's a big geyser and he pushes a boulder on top of it if if doing is understood as geyser shoot out putting a rock on top of the geyser is not

[00:24:26] doing something it is undoing the guy you get visual metaphors are very clear yeah yeah everyone knows about geysers everyone's rolled a rock on a geyser before uh if you've been to yellowstone they let you roll a rock on old faithful if you pay him twenty dollars actually not anymore because they're all fired they're all fired because why would you need to have a functional park if you don't care about whether or not stuff happens and this doesn't matter now because the parks all

[00:24:56] fucked up but if you paid a little extra they let you sit on the rock when it goes up you can't it makes you fucking come i didn't say i was mine was just very fun i'm saying if you're sitting on the geyser and it shoots out into your area you're gonna come it's hitting the rock first it's hitting jesus christ oh oh that okay i forgot see this is why we need the visual metaphors i didn't i thought you were sitting

[00:25:25] right on the guys this this episode is about getting sucked off by various rocks and yes i'm not sucking stuff um god damn now something a lot of people who don't understand about the post-function corpse world might be thinking is like you know it's bad that all this anti function anti-spiral frankly energy is being pumped into the world the thing we need to do someone needs to do something and then that'll fix it or at

[00:25:54] least like fight against it and um i'm like i'm sorry i don't think you understand that like this is not limited to like a certain section of bad actors the people who have any control over anything are all in corpse world for example people might say oh cory booker what a great guy he did something he did a 24 hour filibuster where he kept saying someone has to do something over and over and like uh

[00:26:23] politics is a game in the sense that you have to do your circus your optics and that is an example of it and fine like i if you're going to be like the most annoying cynic and be like uh actually that filibuster didn't change anything it's like it was about taking a stand that said they immediately right after he was done dripping in sweat ready to go towel himself off after 24 hours of talking they're like and now we gotta just like rubber stamp a bunch of trump

[00:26:52] shit though right yes uh and it's like oh okay again yes yes i understand that that like in in a world where there was funk where you know the crank was still attached to something and so you could turn the crank and have an outcome in that world cory booker's big filibuster would have been like really good and cool and i would give him flowers for it because

[00:27:21] again like messaging and theatrics are important and they and previously unseating the last guy who we know as a like a semi household name for not good reasons yes that's good that's good we like that you know you get to have your theatrics and on top of that you have sort of the moral aspect of like and i am repudiating the racist all good that needs to come with the crank getting

[00:27:50] turned there has to be step two yeah the problem is uh the crank and like the dashiki kneeling happen in different spaces yeah there's not overlap unfortunately uh and uh the issue is like so fundamental uh which is as you say are saying and no one's doing anything like no one is initiating actions like there's commands and no one's doing any of them

[00:28:19] it's bad it's like why didn't anyone fucking play minecraft with him like why didn't the cia play minecraft with like when the cia got all fired and like the interests of capital and the american empire were under so there's for sure no deep state right like there's never been less of a deep state none at like again post-function even before the firings i'm just like i'm now

[00:28:49] convinced like the cia if there was like a true super villain who was like i am evil i'm not even like part of a marginalized group that the u.s has uh immiserated for centuries and that radicalized me i just like was born evil and i'm gonna do a terrorist attack and here are the plans i'm gonna i'm gonna print them out and put them in the mail i think they just like wouldn't know what to do they'd be like i hope he doesn't do that like i just like they're

[00:29:18] i hope he lacks follow through yes like i every movie about like a hit man i'm like i like truly i don't think there is it like there are no murderers like there just aren't any any murder is like purely like a domestic affair like in in a grander sense in like a geopolitical sense there's never been no one died and there's never are you saying there needs to be more cartels and excuse me

[00:29:48] uh there should be more cartels more mafias in general i don't know about cartels and actually that's a great point you were talking about does he think that the tariff is like a toll people have said a number of times and it's very true that donald trump is he should not be understood as a politician in the uh traditional sense but he is exclusively a mafia guy like everything he does understood yes so from like a protection perspective this makes weirdly more sense because it's

[00:30:17] just like oh yeah you uh want everything to get not fucked up you're gonna have to cut me a check like that's also how i can look at this but the problem is this is so all-encompassing uh and like this is not a thing you can just like do real quick and shake everybody down because like it will literally disrupt trade routes uh i i think again this is the case of no one thinking consequences can ever happen because it feels like they

[00:30:44] can't if you've seen the sopranos he did a coup that he did he did do a coup and no one did anything you see because post function world it just what like the crank first of all merrick garland said like if there's one thing i will do for my beautiful republican kings it's never turn the crank and two if he did turn the crank it wouldn't work because any fucking prosecution would take over 40 years and then he would win the

[00:31:14] presidency and he would fire the special prosecutor how do i know he'd do that because he did do that they unhooked his crank years ago but if you've seen the sopranos you know that uh the mafia is again an anti-function entity run by the dumbest men on earth who uh have no fucking brains it is it is a 100 percent parasitic entity and uh-oh the parasite

[00:31:41] has now grown bigger than the host uh its hunger increases every day even as the host's blood gets less and less because it doesn't just need the country now it needs the entire global economy there's no next step on that that's as big as it gets and oopsie that's no good um fuck i yeah again and this is just this is us being dumb

[00:32:10] asses we had all these little hopeful guardrails you can listen to the old episode and hear us say this where it's like oh but maybe yes like maybe this won't happen because powerful people will act in their self-interest and we were so dumb because the key mistake there was using the word act we should we should have known that the issue was the verb no action will

[00:32:36] ever be taken there may be rich people whose self-interest is uh harmed and they go oh no but that's but they are all cowardly middle managers that just exist in their space now no one is a deranged banker uh anymore it's just like peter thiel and like that's it everyone else is just a coward nothing will happen all all the robber barons who and in times past would like be act as though they were a king

[00:33:06] and exercising more power than the government uh with their vast wealth now what they do is they go on cnbc and hold back tears as they talk about how much they hate what's happening and it's like do this is why i think there are no murderers like do you not have the fucking funds to hire leon like just do it like just don't actually don't i'm talking about when i say

[00:33:34] do it i mean download minecraft i mean have a bouncy castle rent one yeah um fucking christ and i especially can't stand i got what i wanted and now i'm sad i just it's it's uh obviously at like a global economy level it's infuriating on small scale stuff just like in life like a petty thing with like a co-worker that specific thing drives me nuts

[00:34:02] uh let alone like everyone was like let him run everything like a car dealership let it happen let it happen let it happen and it happened and like immediately the response was oh no which is kind of funny but also sad how could i have known he would do exactly the things that he promised he would do and published on his website on his last things i will do

[00:34:31] i the other thing i i also keep coming back to is like you never ever ever say something will be hard to americans just like you can't say they will ever have to do something uncomfortable or sacrifice or whatever you can never say anything that's like the treats are not worth it and they'll be more expensive and you should consume less treats or whatever and they're just like straight up telling you like it's gonna suck it's gonna suck shit it's gonna be worse and it's in the

[00:34:58] and jimmy carter said what if you put on a sweater and they fucking ended him well so that was because at that point in history action could be taken there were systems that were functional and there was some sort of uh cultural value placed on the idea of doing that is a foreign country that is the same as thinking that you'll go to valhalla when you die in battle so you hope you die like that is just

[00:35:27] a different way of thinking that is so far gone it may as well be an alien who thought that uh i hate i hate it folks i you know what i really don't like is all of this and sort of the main well i haven't been to the grocery store since the day so maybe uh the main way it affects me will change once i need to buy more foodies but the main way uh affects me is that there's just no jobs we can't get a job

[00:35:56] because there's no i mean there are some jobs but like it's there are jobs in the sense that like that that the lottery makes social mobility real you know it's like no it doesn't um there's just no i like truly and i made this as a joke but the more i think about it the more i think it's true i think they are just phasing out employment as a concept because well what is a job really a job

[00:36:24] is where you go and do something all day we are no longer placing value on do we are in post-function world so like and and the business people get what they want because they can say uh fucking pussy and the r word and and they know they're getting boss's revenge because they know it hurt like he's on tv every day saying americans you will hurt i will hurt you so like they're everything's going great for

[00:36:53] them and their self-interest is getting fucked by the terrorists regardless if they employ people so having no one to do anything like that's gonna oh that's gonna harm their bottom line bottom line's fucked regardless they are no longer care about the bottom line the bottom line is a remnant of the functional world now the only thing that matters is am i getting boss's revenge yes i am ha ha i'm winning that is it and thus uh it's actually not a reflection on me that i've been unemployed this

[00:37:23] long and i'm actually really good and have lots of skills i haven't had to uh apply as hard because i have lots of dad stuff which is fulfilling and incredible uh and thank god i have that kind of happening uh because man oh man for for illinois unemployment i have to certify which means i have to like show that i apply to stuff which is just like here's my pointless attempts uh here's here's

[00:37:50] when i got on the computer and just wasted everyone's time man it blows i hate doing that something else i've been on the computer i've seen people reposting this in reference to what's happening in the huge stock market crash uh people have been posting that because this was this was like a grim symbol of

[00:38:13] everything months ago and it's only become grimmer and more real now it is a uh excerpt from some article which i probably know where it's from but i didn't care to look it up it's from somewhere it is a quote by a top wall street banker who is really excited about trump winning and he says i feel liberated said a top banker we can say our word except he didn't say our word and pussy without the fear

[00:38:42] of getting canceled you could always say pussy pussy was never like off the table that's the same as dick it's the exact same level of uh yeah so he's just saying he's a coward that gets like really trembly when he's about to say pussy our word you can't say that that that one that's true this is i want to point something out tom which is that this doesn't do anything but it's a victory it's like just saying

[00:39:09] slurs changes nothing other like obviously it is bad for the people around you not good to do it but like there is no mechanical change in like the work being done the idea that like you could do something better or worse is not important what's this is literally virtual this is virtue signaling like like what it is a hundred percent dude this is uh lexicographical boss's revenge if i the rich guy

[00:39:34] can say the cruel words that hurt people that's good because i'm having boss's revenge i'm hurting the little people as is my right and the fear of getting canceled like what does that mean it's easy to be like that's so stupid because no one's been canceled for that kind of thing how would anyone have that power over you name one person who's been canceled for saying words like this you can't this is absurd

[00:39:59] and you think that you think that they're making this up except no no i we have now realized we have decoded what that phrase means fear of being canceled and it all makes sense now what it actually is like responding to things i do exactly like how come when i said my funny word someone did something you're not supposed to do anything yeah i am both owed an audience and also they will not do anything

[00:40:27] and it makes sense to think that because this is the age of not doing stuff yeah i mean we've been watching police squad it's gonna be the next episode we're gonna talk about police squad it's so fucking good tom's favorite joke and i honestly like it a lot uh is when there's a really good joke he's like oh that was really funny they should have put that in naked gun i wonder why they

[00:40:51] didn't do that oh you know what they had to put oj in it it didn't make room for oj they had to put oj in it oh i forgot yeah you're talking more about naked gun later i do want to say very very briefly i didn't know this was happening but i saw that they're making a new fucking naked gun movie with liam neeson as the as the main guy um and i don't know if it's gonna be any good but there's the i told you about this joe but there's one joke where he is kneeling in front of a photo leslie nielsen

[00:41:20] and being like dad i miss you i'm gonna make you proud i'm gonna follow your footsteps cuts to his partner kneeling in front of a picture of his partner from the original saying oh dad i'm gonna do a wide shot everyone in the police station is kneeling in front of a picture of their dad or just a wall of dad funny it cuts to uh the picture of oj simpson and the guy kneeling in front of that picture is just like eh nah so they heard your feedback and they made a joke about it exactly uh

[00:41:49] but the reason i bring up police squad is joe what is the gag at the end of every episode tom i fucking love this shit so uh every episode uh they get the perp they they have them at the police station and they're like slapping the cuffs on them and then it's just they say like the last thing like well you'll be doing a lot of that statesville prison and then there's yeah and then they're laughing and then there's like a everybody freezes and the credits roll everyone's frozen except for

[00:42:18] the person being arrested at which point they realize everyone else is frozen and they like either try to leave or start taking things uh and there's one where there's a there's a chimp in the background in a suit yes and like all the actors freeze frame but obviously the monkey doesn't know and so the monkey just starts like walking around and fucking stuff up yeah and it just feels like this is trump

[00:42:43] gets to be the guy moving around when the credits are rolling and everyone else is frozen it it's it's just like okay like i'm aware of it i see it uh he's able to do this though for some reason the reason is you know what like what's the alternative something would have to happen some system would have to function in order for this to happen and um i really struggle to identify what it would be

[00:43:13] and that was something i was thinking about this morning because he had some posts that was like after the first day of tariffs i just have to say it's incredible how much the markets went up and how many new jobs got added and it's like just complete opposite of what's in front of you just just really really cartoonish shit like obviously everyone's like oh or willian it's like well or wrote a book about stupid messaging for stupid people yeah and and big brother like i actually

[00:43:41] haven't read the book my understanding is that like as a regime it was doing a lot to enforce the uh dystopia that there's no doing occur i mean again every day we hear about like another part of the government that does something very important in order to make society be around is just like dissolved they're like we don't want to do that any like the the fact that like the that food could

[00:44:08] be found poisonous i don't want to do that anymore um point being he says this shit that's just flatly false what would it take for that to matter someone would need to do something who like i'm going through the usual suspects the news are the news is the news gonna say that's wrong and he's a liar and like it's evil for him to do that and he cannot be allowed to continue that would be a 180

[00:44:34] because they've been sane washing everything like there are there are articles about press conferences you can watch where he's saying frankly crazy shit uh not even the fertilization president and that's okay yeah and not the not even like the fun dan chera shit like just really weird shit and then you read the like the new york times article of of that event and the quotes and context are changed to

[00:45:00] make him seem like he's just completely normal just like nothing weird has happened uh so like like they're they're struggling to find uh framing in which saying i will be the fertilization president and that's okay could be anything that makes sense instead of the fact is like this is the dumbest like what the fuck is he talking he's the cum man i'm mr cum like is that what you're talking about he has

[00:45:30] uh i mean also fucking who owns the news is jeff bezos and that california guy who is as evil as jeff bezos and they're both like if you say anything wrong ever we'll fucking fire you because oh what the fuck jeff bezos said if you do an op-ed that's against the free market we'll fire you and like

[00:45:53] what is the tariffs if not the biggest op-ed against the free market well to have any sort of reaction required to do something and we know we know why that won't happen well he didn't think he was gonna do it either like that's more evidence of that yes oh god yep uh and if he can't get a fucking hitman to play minecraft with then like what are we doing uh yeah yeah um so news is out

[00:46:21] congress will congress remove him will the legislative branch exercise their power and their checks over uh the executive uh i don't even think i need to explain why that's a no uh it's just not no no they've also just ceded huge swaths of power to the executive for like no reason just like oh yeah take it for sure like we we're not gonna i know why i know why power is an implicit uh

[00:46:49] uh obligation to do and to function people are always asking you to do stuff with it yeah uh i mean it is very telling that the democrats most common refrain is there's nothing we can do and like further uh when some democrats do do something like bernie and aoc had the big they did a big rally

[00:47:15] across the nation and got people whipped up and said like it's it's critical to take action and clearly we are the only part of ideological wing of the party that anyone likes because we talk about doing and after again they did that and there's evidence that that is where the fucking excitement is and leadership is like i will instead focus on uh grabbing this delicious piece of cheese under a

[00:47:43] box propped up by stick uh and it's like oh okay so doing like again just doing is not important it does not move the needle and it will not happen so that's kind of news out congress out the only other way that that like him just lying could be countered is if he's killed in minecraft will that happen no because again if it was gonna it would have by now so and also i don't even need to go through

[00:48:11] them all one by one i could tell you that none of that was going to happen because all of those options are different things are different functions that could have occurred and what is the truth that all explanations flow down from we are in post-function corpse world you can't do anything wherever stuff happens to be when this started is where it will remain and rot it'll only if any even moves at all

[00:48:38] it's because like the scaffolding it was resting on has rotted and crumbled and or like there's tons of maggots in there yeah it'll just be a fall down uh i don't see here's the thing i hate this i don't like it uh and i wish that the future was better i'm just trying to vibe and the world has

[00:49:04] declared war on me for that goal oh this is an attack on me exclusively that's fine the the animus that they have for chilling and vibing is frankly sickening this is an episode we've been meaning to do for ages and ages maybe we find maybe this is what finally gets us to do it after police squad which is just like we have a theory that like the like the thing that is the key to a worthwhile

[00:49:31] and fulfilling life is like chilling and vibing um and like being able to chill and hang yes and not like that woo-woo fascism thing where you can be like i'm all about vibes as you just do evil shit no no no i'm talking about like you and a homie like sit outside of like game stop with like a with like a beer and yap uh about like pokemon and yeah it's cool and like you you both leave having had a

[00:49:59] good time like that's that's vibing yes ah they hate it the the the big people the big people not the giants the big people though they they hate our vibing the giants say that's the other thing why aren't the giants eating donald trump for dinner in minecraft they are unaffected by tariffs as the

[00:50:21] stone in the sea was not levied uh a tariff so it's fine dude everyone's laughing at the trump administration for including those islands that are uninhabited on the tariffs but what it really was is that they didn't know which stone in the sea was the capital s stone in the sea and they're just like casting a wide net hoping they get the one that the giant sits on one of these fuckers has

[00:50:46] a big guy on it i just don't know which one do you think we should talk about you know what i was about to be like because i made that gag about like if you're new the devil and i'm like should we explain the stone in the sea bit in case there actually are new listeners we always just assume that the people listening to this is exclusively like our homies who are on the discord by the way there's a discord did you know that look it up um but like it occurs to me that there could be a

[00:51:12] new listener and as i've been explaining this i realized that it's actually unlike the devil part where it was funny to explain it it's much funnier not to explain the stone in the sea on which giants sit just know that there is one yeah someone on tiktok found it and then they uh they got got like they they they they're gone because i believe they got too close to the truth yeah that was one of the last functions i think perhaps maybe that's going to be the last function that

[00:51:40] they keep intact in the government uh because obviously the the end goal is to dissolve society society again being an agreement among people that uh we will all pitch into an organization that guarantees a certain standard of life for everyone in we can't have that we need everyone sneak attacking each other all the time yes uh there will be no well actually you still need to

[00:52:09] pitch into the organization mafia style but also mafia style it is a purely parasitic organism uh that exists only to steal and uh in fact on slow down and undo any positive action so that's going to be what society is anyway society is going to be dissolved the last thing that's going to be intact it's not even going to be like the fbi and cia like entirely the alphabet agencies that that like

[00:52:35] uh oppress the people because that requires too many too much doing the only thing is going to be the anti-giant agents who make sure people don't know the truth about giants and how sexy they are yeah and they got elephant guns yeah you know who would really come if you sat in a geyser what are you about to say giants oh okay okay yeah all right i see i've never been set up and more

[00:53:05] bewildered in my life there's something very fun about doing a setup and the the person getting set up has no idea what's like i what are you doing stop it's like when we were we i was saying i was telling dylan about like of course we all know what the most iconic fighting game mechanic is and uh i i knocked him out cold

[00:53:30] by starting off with cancels which how how could he not have seen that coming they're crucial the point of the game is not to look at it like you don't want to see your guy do all that shit is there any other thing where if you just don't know about it will guarantee your loss more like there are mechanics you cannot know about or not be good at and maybe eke out a win against someone who's experienced but if you're not canceling and the other guy is like just put the controller down yeah

[00:54:00] he's he's effectively walking at four times speed as you like you just can't do it it you will get spanked unfortunately speaking of getting spanked uh every day of our and your life um and everyone you love uh i really hope things change and uh you know someone should actually have this thought i'm probably the first person to ever have thought of this that the old world is

[00:54:27] dying but the new world you think it would be born it's actually struggling to be born the issue is like the new world isn't struggling at all it's like doing no work come on new world um like how could you do your part man if you fucking find out we'd love to hear it

[00:54:51] uh we're struggling yeah our plan is to become poorer and worse so thank you yeah uh that's all the time you ever anime sickos uh thank you for listening i've been tom an anime sicko i've been joe an anime sicko buh-bye see ya thank you for listening to anime sickos i've been tom a sicko you can follow me on blue sky at tom harrison joe was also a sicko you can follow him on blue sky
