Transcript
Willy:

What's up?

Willy:

Your lovely lurkers.

Willy:

I'm Willie and he's Scott.

Willy:

Welcome to the show.

Willy:

Today we're gonna talk about the best of ces, the greatest life hacks of all time.

Willy:

Some football and glitter.

Scott:

If you like our voices, you can find our faces on

Scott:

YouTube, TikTok and Instagram or storming the Brazilian Congress.

Scott:

Let's lurk.

Willy:

Scott, can we start the show?

Willy:

we're into the show a little bit, right?

Willy:

More than seven

Scott:

about,

Willy:

13 se Okay.

Scott:

yeah.

Willy:

I say that because this is outside of the things we're

Willy:

gonna discuss, the main stories, but did you know that YouTube has

Willy:

changed some of their policies?

Scott:

it feels like all streaming platforms have changed them

Scott:

recently, but tell me more.

Willy:

Well, this is gonna affect our show in some ways.

Willy:

So if you are Scott and I have always been unfiltered.

Willy:

We've been trying to get, we've been trying to get better

Willy:

at this, but, some words,

Scott:

come on YouTube,

Willy:

YouTube is gonna restrict videos that say things like,

Scott:

fuck

Willy:

cunt

Scott:

shit.

Scott:

gonna restrict all those bleeps.

Willy:

All of them.

Willy:

And we're gonna have to deep dive into this once I learn a little bit

Willy:

more because I'm just learning about this today, but it's retroactive.

Willy:

So what YouTube is gonna do is anybody, any content

Willy:

creator that has put out videos

Scott:

videos

Scott:

where they're

Willy:

there's an abnormal amount of swearing or cursing in the

Willy:

first seven seconds of a video.

Willy:

it's gonna be demonetized by YouTube.

Willy:

So

Scott:

I saw.

Willy:

be an ad, but the creator isn't gonna get any money.

Scott:

I saw a guy who was ra raging on, on about this, I think, but he said it

Scott:

was something like the first 13 seconds.

Scott:

So he just said, Hey followers, I'm gonna tell you something in a couple seconds.

Scott:

And then he just sat.

Scott:

And then he nodded his head at exactly 13 seconds and said, I don't get what

Scott:

the fuck is going on with demonetization and swearing like I should be allowed to.

Scott:

does this mean like they're trying to make it more kid-friendly or just what,

Scott:

what, what's the catalyst for this?

Willy:

My assumption though is YouTube wants to create a more

Willy:

brand forward and friendly platform.

Willy:

And what's the easiest way to do that?

Willy:

We are going to devalue de-incentivize videos that are overly sexual, have

Willy:

gore talk about, challenging topics that might be top of mind, and they're

Willy:

going to suppress those things.

Willy:

What's the next step?

Willy:

Look towards, um, national television.

Willy:

A abc, N B C B S, whatever it might be.

Willy:

You're not allowed to swear on those platforms, and YouTube has become

Willy:

that staple platform in households, and there must be enough money

Willy:

backing this decision saying, we don't really care about our creators.

Willy:

We care about our bottom line,

Scott:

So in order for us to adapt, improvise, and overcome,

Scott:

we must not swear anymore.

Scott:

We just say the word bleep

Willy:

that that's a

Scott:

solution.

Scott:

I noticed that like when we're editing the show, this is a little bit, uh,

Scott:

inside baseball for everybody that's listening, but, even when we would

Scott:

swear and you would cover it up with a sound, the dictation is picking

Scott:

up the actual swear word and it is still putting it on the screen.

Scott:

It's not like giving it the sensor thing.

Scott:

So even though we would go through the trouble of bleeping out every single

Scott:

bleep word, it would still be right there.

Willy:

still says, damn fucking

Scott:

Tits fart.

Scott:

Turd and tw.

Scott:

Yeah.

Scott:

All of those things.

Scott:

So,

Willy:

part of this show is gonna be the worst for me to edit

Scott:

all right.

Scott:

I, I'm down for this challenge.

Scott:

I am here for it.

Scott:

If we have to swear, I'm just gonna say bleep.

Scott:

Or I don't need you to orange me in the orange right now, okay?

Scott:

I just need you to orangey.

Scott:

Tell me the truth.

Willy:

Let's get more explicit.

Willy:

I just need you to Banana I

Scott:

There we go.

Scott:

There we go.

Scott:

We talk in emoji

Willy:

Yep.

Willy:

Perfect.

Scott:

your eggplant away from my peach.

Willy:

Last week I said, or two weeks ago, I said, Hey, my

Willy:

niece Anabel watches this show.

Willy:

Well, YouTube, my niece Callie, also watches this show special.

Willy:

Shout out to her and her friends, and if a, a teenager can listen

Willy:

to this show and not be offended by her uncle saying Banana.

Willy:

Hammock.

Willy:

How dare you?

Willy:

I'm the problem, aren't I?

Scott:

You're, yeah.

Scott:

Yeah.

Scott:

It's, it's all you All right.

Scott:

Let's get into the meat and potatoes and, uh, stop playing

Scott:

with our eggplant over here.

Scott:

This is my favorite time of year Willy because number one, the weather is

Scott:

changing so much that it causes me to vomit uncontrollably at any point in time.

Scott:

And number two c s has happened.

Scott:

And would you mind briefing the audience who is unaware what c e s is?

Willy:

Uh, CES is the Consumer Electronic Show.

Willy:

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but it has been going on since

Willy:

the mid to late sixties, and it's gone just about every single year.

Scott:

Yeah.

Willy:

Uh, it's

Willy:

an annual trade show where it gives a lot of technology companies a chance to show

Willy:

off upcoming tech, show off ways that they're innovating within their lane.

Willy:

And Scott and I, two technology enthusiasts.

Willy:

This is, uh, maybe some of the most exciting things we see throughout

Willy:

the year because it's really setting the stage for how, the technology

Willy:

sphere, all of it is moving.

Scott:

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that gets debuted that is conceptual

Scott:

and is a couple years away, but there's more things that are like, oh,

Scott:

this is coming out later this year.

Scott:

I was thinking we could just go through some of the cool and maybe weird, I

Scott:

don't know, we, we'll just have to de decide and you can decide, based

Scott:

on what is at this annual conference.

Scott:

It's usually always in Las Vegas.

Scott:

I can either confirm nor deny that it is usually at the same time as

Scott:

the, AVI Awards, but, the, where

Scott:

they go look at the the birds.

Scott:

But

Willy:

Award

Scott:

Yeah.

Willy:

Those aren't real.

Scott:

the Avian Awards.

Scott:

Yeah.

Scott:

Now, Willie, you have an electric vehicle?

Scott:

Several Were on display at this year's CS Verge decided to give the Sony

Scott:

Honda A the best car of its awards.

Scott:

What do you think about this thing?

Scott:

It, it looks really cool.

Scott:

I think the collaboration between these two companies is cool.

Scott:

I also think it looks like, but like it looks like a peach

Scott:

and not a, not a very good one.

Scott:

It looks like a bar of soap after you've used it several times.

Scott:

it's, it's kind of boring.

Scott:

Doesn't ha you know, it doesn't have the, the ridges on there

Scott:

anymore for your pleasure.

Scott:

It's just smooth.

Willy:

here's my thought on electric cars at the moment.

Willy:

We are in this new generation of vehicle manufacturing that

Scott:

has been,

Willy:

for all intents and purposes, stagnant since the nineties.

Willy:

the, the insides seemed like they were all mass produced in the same place.

Willy:

Whether you had a Honda, a Toyota, uh, a Ford, or a Chevy, it didn't matter.

Willy:

You could have your brand loyalty, but ultimately, I, you and I have, I think we

Willy:

did it at least once, but we would go to the auto show in Minnesota when it would

Willy:

come around in the spring, and you just sit in these mid-size SUVs and they all.

Willy:

Feel the

Scott:

they are the exact same and somehow Toyota was the most boring one.

Willy:

always, There's no reason these electric car companies

Willy:

or existing car companies can't say now is a chance to rebrand.

Willy:

Now is a chance to, to move something forward.

Willy:

So if Sony wants to come out in partnership with Honda and create

Willy:

this like weird, innovative concept, I'm all for it because I think

Willy:

it challenges the current status.

Scott:

status.

Scott:

Agreed.

Scott:

Um, the Volkswagen ID seven that I mentioned.

Scott:

At the show is covered in color changing panels, so literally

Scott:

the car can be anything.

Scott:

we'll talk

Willy:

Didn't they have a car do that a couple years ago?

Scott:

years.

Scott:

Yeah.

Scott:

I think last year it was black and gray, but this year it is like all

Scott:

colors of the rainbow bmw, out with a full color-changing car that actually

Scott:

has its own AI built into it called D.

Scott:

Yeah.

Willy:

are we close to the point where if you can have a color changing car like

Willy:

this that can change with patterns and look and feel I think it is reasonable

Willy:

to assume that in our lifetime you could have the first car actually manufactured

Willy:

that could have real driving camo.

Willy:

There's enough damn cameras around these cars to where it

Willy:

could have like invisibility.

Willy:

And obviously it would be turned off unless for say like law enforcement

Scott:

enforcement.

Willy:

or a James Bond movie.

Scott:

I think we talked about this last year, that, it, the very first ein

Scott:

car that's gonna come out is gonna get hacked and have, um, bananas put all

Scott:

over it, you know, bananas and cherries.

Scott:

but now with the color thing, and based on what you said, that just gave me

Scott:

an idea for how nefarious it could be.

Scott:

You could program it so that the cameras in the car reflect the

Scott:

opposite side to make it invisible.

Scott:

And I can just see the accidents happening.

Scott:

I can already see.

Scott:

Alright.

Scott:

This year, according to The Verge, the best beauty tech was a prototype

Scott:

lipstick applicator that's designed to help people with limited mobility.

Scott:

It's called the L'Oreal Heta and it kind of looks like a

Scott:

gimbal with the lipstick on it.

Scott:

And, and I just think it's amazing that accessibility is getting called

Scott:

out in this way at this giant show

Willy:

do you think that there is something to be said negatively about

Willy:

technology companies or clothing companies coming out with something

Willy:

that is designed intentionally for, inclusion and accessibility?

Willy:

Becoming mainstream.

Willy:

I'm thinking of like Nike's.

Willy:

There's a, a line of shoes that is meant for accessibility.

Willy:

So they like pop open at the heels, so

Scott:

You can just slide your foot in.

Scott:

Yeah.

Willy:

This to me, reads something similar, that there might be convenience

Willy:

for a wider audience, and then therefore the people who actually

Willy:

need it for accessibility reasons

Scott:

yeah.

Scott:

my hope is that it's designed specifically in this way and it's

Scott:

probably gonna be priced at a certain way that only the people who need it.

Scott:

be going after it.

Scott:

I can't see somebody who's fully abled necessarily wanting to use this.

Scott:

it's not meant necessarily to make it better for a fully abled person.

Scott:

You can still have more control, find motor control with your hand

Scott:

and put lipstick on that way.

Scott:

I did see something that it's a printer for your eyebrow makeup.

Scott:

you just kinda like slide it over your brow and it will paint, spray paint.

Scott:

I don't know what technology it uses.

Scott:

Exactly.

Scott:

Perfect.

Scott:

Eyebrows.

Willy:

Are you saying I need.

Scott:

this.

Scott:

No, I think you've got good brows,

Willy:

Thank you.

Scott:

but they could, they could probably stand to be threaded at least once.

Willy:

Okay.

Scott:

One of the coolest things from this year's CES show that I, I find

Scott:

amazing, but could be exploitive if used in the wrong way, is a wearable from,

Scott:

German bionic called the Apogee Exosuit.

Scott:

It was showed

Willy:

those sex suits

Scott:

uh,

Willy:

from the, Amazon TV show?

Scott:

you know, I mean, it's only gonna be made for commercial

Scott:

use at first, so I don't know.

Scott:

unless somebody gets access to a warehouse, , how they're

Scott:

gonna make those movies.

Scott:

But basically it is an exosuit that you'll be able to put on your

Scott:

torso, not your torso, your trunk, so right around the waist and legs.

Scott:

And it can offset lifting 66 pounds

Scott:

from your lower back.

Scott:

Yeah.

Scott:

people that work and need to lift or just have chronic back pain will,

Scott:

eventually be able to just become Ironman.

Willy:

Dude, I, I'll finally be able to lift your mom.

Scott:

I lift your mom just fine.

Scott:

So I

Willy:

Okay, hold

Scott:

sorry.

Scott:

Willie's nieces.

Scott:

I'm so sorry.

Scott:

Willie, have you ever thought, man, that burger or pizza or sizzling

Scott:

steak on television looks so good?

Scott:

I wish I could taste it right now.

Willy:

Are we going to straight past smell of vision to Taso vision?

Scott:

Nope.

Scott:

We're going straight to virtual smell machine because.

Scott:

Something called O V R Technology created a wearable that produces

Scott:

scent to match the views from smartphones, tablets, or computers.

Scott:

So people who are into those fart videos, this one's gonna be for you.

Scott:

Okay?

Willy:

So, this is, this is something that I'm very excited about.

Scott:

Oh, no,

Willy:

think that there is potential for something to provide smell, but,

Willy:

and here's that right there, but there has to be a filter that like, it's

Willy:

the same way that YouTube bleeps out.

Scott:

oh, there's a filter.

Scott:

All right, but it's tech, so it's hackable.

Willy:

do they have the thing inside to do it?

Willy:

Like maybe it's not hackable to the point of being able to like

Willy:

actually output nasty smells because those compounds aren't in there.

Scott:

I think some biochemistry major is just gonna be like

Scott:

selling the illegal packs.

Scott:

Here's the here's the full spectrum packs.

Scott:

place I'm going is to Bernie Bots every Flavor Beans website.

Scott:

And just seeing if it works.

Scott:

And what I think could be the biggest disruptor from this year's

Scott:

CES is a little puck, a small.

Scott:

Tiny white sphere that, some fetish people are just gonna be all over literally.

Scott:

it's made by Withings, which is known for their scales and health trackers.

Scott:

it is called the ucan, and it is an at-home urinary lab

Scott:

that you put in your toilet.

Scott:

Just giving guys another target to aim on.

Scott:

At the end of the day,

Willy:

it's so weird.

Willy:

I mean, it's not

Willy:

would,

Scott:

Don't yuck the yum

Willy:

you'd expect that this would be something that

Scott:

that would

Willy:

out for

Scott:

it's not for that.

Scott:

It's not for that.

Scott:

It's for urine

Willy:

there is a place we need to normalize monitoring our body's health.

Willy:

Look at what Scott went through this week.

Willy:

Maybe all you needed man was a

Scott:

peace eh, I mean, I don't know.

Scott:

There's just certain colors that come outta your body where you're like,

Scott:

yeah, that's, that's not normal.

Scott:

I'm gonna go to the doctor.

Scott:

This is to make sure, like, I don't know, all that stuff.

Scott:

That when and when it looks the same that, Hey, maybe you should get some more

Scott:

water, or maybe your iron's a little low.

Scott:

that worries me the most about this is that eventually you're

Scott:

gonna pee on this thing.

Scott:

It's gonna be like, Hey, you're pregnant or

Willy:

And then you get a message on your phone that's like buy diapers.

Scott:

exactly.

Scott:

That's what I'm worried about.

Scott:

It's like, Hey, you're low on iron.

Scott:

Here's the latest supple.

Scott:

Coupon for.

Scott:

Uh,

Willy:

right?

Scott:

so you gotta be careful about these things

Willy:

In a lot of ways.

Willy:

some of these technologies are built, I think so that their renewable

Willy:

revenue is from the data that they can then broker to the highest bidder.

Scott:

Yeah.

Scott:

Which is sad, we like tech and we're still gonna continue to like tech and

Scott:

hopefully we just don't have to get super mad at it every single year while

Scott:

trying to enjoy all the cool innovation,

Willy:

While Scott I was browsing TikTok like I'm known to do, and I ran across

Willy:

this video that was highlighting an article from the New York Times, and

Willy:

it says the greatest life hacks in

Scott:

the

Scott:

world

Willy:

for now, obviously.

Willy:

I, I just wanna highlight some of what the New York Times has filtered down to

Willy:

say, are the greatest life hacks ever

Scott:

of all time.

Scott:

These are the Goat

Scott:

Life hacks.

Willy:

Yep.

Willy:

when you have a large project and you've completed 90% of it, those

Willy:

final details are gonna take the same amount as that first 90%.

Scott:

Oh.

Scott:

So for me, Take anything cuz I let my partner handle everything Got it.

Willy:

Speaking of anything you say before the word but doesn't count

Scott:

what about big

Willy:

Thank you.

Willy:

Denying or deflecting a compliment is rude.

Willy:

Accept it with a Thanks.

Scott:

always that, that just makes, that should make both of you feel better.

Scott:

Yeah,

Willy:

It's weird.

Willy:

I, I'm not good at accepting a compliment if somebody, Hmm.

Willy:

Yeah.

Scott:

facial hair is looking very nice.

Willy:

Hey.

Willy:

Go fork yourself.

Willy:

Thank you,

Scott:

you, I

Scott:

was

Willy:

told

Willy:

That it's starting to make me look like Chris Evans at the beginning

Willy:

of Infinity War in the train scene.

Willy:

Like the dark one.

Scott:

Willy.

Scott:

Your facial hair isn't looking that nice.

Scott:

I hope somewhere on the list telling the truth is also on there

Willy:

Okay.

Willy:

This one's a little tough to hear, but I know people out

Willy:

there are listening or watching.

Willy:

Getting cheated occasionally is a small price to pay for trusting the best in

Willy:

everyone because when you trust the best in others, they will treat you the best.

Scott:

Does that mean you live your life with like a little bit of guardedness?

Willy:

Mm.

Scott:

What do you, what do you mean?

Willy:

the point here is I, I think you go into relationships, where you are

Willy:

opening yourself up to somebody, not, not with the fear that somebody might

Willy:

be cheating, that you don't go in almost your full body in, but just one toe out.

Willy:

Don't go in

Willy:

with that apprehension.

Willy:

Go in and trust and love because that's what you're gonna then get in return.

Willy:

If you fully invest, you will get that in return.

Scott:

that's a good one.

Scott:

I like that.

Willy:

Purchase a tourist guidebook for your own hometown because

Willy:

you're, you'll probably learn a lot playing tourist once a year.

Scott:

oh, I never thought about that.

Willy:

Do, do they sell tourist books from Minneapolis?

Scott:

I, I'm sure there's a website.

Willy:

They must, right?

Scott:

yeah,

Willy:

This one says, the thing that made you weird as a kid

Willy:

could make you great as an adult.

Scott:

uh, I mean A d d has kind of helped me make this show, so Sure.

Scott:

Yeah, I suppose I agree with that.

Willy:

it's not an apology if it comes with an excuse.

Scott:

Now listen, I don't wanna sound like a racist, but

Willy:

That's the butt.

Scott:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Scott:

I see now I see.

Scott:

a big butt

Willy:

now, I think in 2023.

Willy:

This makes a lot of sense because we hold onto so much, this says just

Willy:

because it's not your fault doesn't mean it's not your responsibility.

Scott:

oh.

Scott:

Yeah.

Scott:

Spider-Man.

Scott:

If you had learned that Uncle Ben would still be with us.

Willy:

Too soon, uh,

Scott:

Too soon is aunt me

Willy:

Oh, oh.

Willy:

Scott.

Willy:

Yeah.

Willy:

Scott, I think you gave me this one all the time.

Willy:

Not, not just once.

Willy:

Just this is your mantra.

Willy:

Ignore it there.

Willy:

Thinking of you, because they're not thinking of you.

Scott:

Exactly.

Scott:

I live my life by that meme from, uh, mad Men.

Scott:

Two guys in the elevator.

Scott:

One's Don Draper.

Scott:

The other is some dude who looks like a very young, uh, Oscar Isaac and

Scott:

he says, Big bads up in marketing.

Scott:

Must think we're like pieces of crap or something.

Scott:

And Don Draper just simply responds with, I don't think of you at all.

Scott:

That's how you should live with your life.

Scott:

Don't

Scott:

worry.

Willy:

like it.

Willy:

Who I remember once when I was just learning how a razor works and my

Willy:

sister was like, dude, you have a uni bra, you need to get rid of that.

Willy:

And I like shaved a little and then shaved a little and was like, oops.

Willy:

Got a little off and then shaved a little, and then it was like, oops.

Willy:

Got a little too much.

Willy:

And then shaved a little.

Willy:

And then inevitably I was like, I shaved a lot.

Willy:

Oh god.

Willy:

And I went to school terrified, thinking Everybody's staring, everybody notices.

Willy:

And nobody ever said a thing.

Scott:

you would've benefited from that 3d uh, eyebrow printer,

Willy:

Scott, I think this one is, is for you in particular, something

Willy:

does not need to be perfect, to be wonderful, especially weddings.

Scott:

Thank you.

Scott:

I needed that.

Willy:

Uh, the biggest lie that we tell ourselves is, I don't need to write

Willy:

this down because I will remember it.

Scott:

Ooh, Uh, I was thinking of something else like

Willy:

Now this list can go on and on and on.

Willy:

And I wanna share this for anybody else who's listening to this show

Willy:

who maybe like, are just starting those relationships and they're

Willy:

thinking like, maybe I found the one, maybe I, I'm with that person.

Willy:

That I is gonna be the last one.

Willy:

Marriage is a 50 year conversation.

Willy:

Marry someone you want to talk with for the rest of your life.

Scott:

It's a good one.

Scott:

It's a good one.

Scott:

Um, for some, I love.

Scott:

Monogamy.

Scott:

And I love the fact that I'm gonna be spending my life with this one person, and

Scott:

this is gonna be my partner, but I also recognize that it's not for everybody.

Scott:

There are people that have tried it 1, 3, 7 times, , and it doesn't work out.

Scott:

And it's probably because they're not just being true to themselves and

Scott:

saying like, I am not in it for the long haul because I don't want to be.

Scott:

And there's no rule that you ever have to get married.

Scott:

There's no rule that you have to enter the, I guess, law of marriage.

Scott:

You can just be with somebody for however long you wanna be and then

Scott:

say like, listen, we had a good run.

Scott:

Now I wanna try and find somebody else.

Scott:

There's, there's tons of different relationship styles and avenues that

Scott:

are still being explored, and so let's just make sure we acknowledge that.

Scott:

Well, if you're going to go into marriage for the right reasons, this is probably

Scott:

the way to go based on some beliefs, but also acknowledge the fact that

Scott:

others might not see it the same way.

Willy:

All right, fine.

Willy:

The last one I have is you can always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow,

Scott:

Willie, this week has been an incredible sports week and

Scott:

part of me wishes we had Jason on the show just to talk about that.

Scott:

maybe in the future we could just have like a sports show and we

Scott:

could have Jason on all the time.

Willy:

Maybe we should.

Scott:

Maybe, let's think about that.

Scott:

Let's write that down.

Scott:

Actually write it

Willy:

Write.

Willy:

Write

Scott:

that

Scott:

down, write that down.

Scott:

And uh, yeah, we'll circle back to that one.

Scott:

Stay tuned.

Scott:

if you're into football whatsoever, now is the best time of the year.

Scott:

For some, some people have been eliminated from the playoffs.

Scott:

Some teams have lost

Willy:

yep.

Scott:

like Jason's lions, but they certainly played a spoiler alert to the

Scott:

Vikings biggest rivals, the Packers.

Scott:

Now, I don't know if you heard, but last week there was a terrifying moment

Scott:

for one player in particular, and then subsequently the community at large.

Scott:

But a Buffalo Bills player took a weird hit.

Scott:

His name was DeMar Hamlin.

Scott:

If you didn't read about it in the news, um,

Willy:

Where have you been?

Willy:

I understand sports are not for everybody, but still.

Scott:

But it transcended sports.

Scott:

That's how big of a deal it was.

Scott:

but essentially it was a regular football play.

Scott:

He tried to tackle, somebody stood up and almost immediately collapsed.

Scott:

And it turns out that his heart was hit with enough force at just the right time

Scott:

to cause it to go into cardiac arrest.

Scott:

Whole bunch of stuff played out, like people talking about should the

Scott:

game be restarted, people talking about should the game be forfeited,

Scott:

like all this stuff happened.

Scott:

inevitably football had to continue on.

Scott:

And here we are this next weekend, right before the playoffs.

Scott:

So the bills played and as you would expect, everybody's

Scott:

wearing patches for DeMar.

Scott:

There's things on the field with number three.

Scott:

Everybody is there to kinda like, win this game, do it for him.

Scott:

The very first play Willie on kickoff is returned for a touchdown.

Willy:

Mm-hmm.

Scott:

It has been described as a spiritual storybook play.

Scott:

like you couldn't have scripted it better, and then it happened

Scott:

again in the same game.

Scott:

A longer kickoff was returned for a touchdown.

Scott:

As you can imagine, the community and DeMar, who is thankfully, back in

Scott:

Buffalo in the hospital, but recovering nicely and are just going nuts and just

Scott:

elated, and I just feel so good for him and for the community that I guess

Scott:

things went the, the way of the bills.

Scott:

here's what I wanna bring up.

Scott:

is the playoff picture is lined up.

Scott:

And I'm just gonna have you pick some teams because

Scott:

you playing Jason this week.

Scott:

You are the football expert,

Willy:

Okay.

Willy:

Got it.

Willy:

Got it.

Scott:

I'm gonna throw out some names.

Scott:

Willy:

Oh my God.

Scott:

Scott:

that's right.

Scott:

Who's your pick?

Willy:

Seahawks.

Scott:

All right.

Willy:

But I would live in Seattle.

Willy:

I wouldn't live in San Francisco.

Willy:

And it Are the 49ers actually that good this year, or

Scott:

They're pretty good.

Scott:

Their quarterback right now is on fire, but the Seahawks

Scott:

quarterback, he is, he's literally on fire.

Scott:

It's gonna be in,

Willy:

How was that not covered?

Scott:

know , uh, the Seahawks quarterback also threw for the most

Scott:

yards in Seattle football history too, so it should be a good showdown.

Scott:

so you're picking Seattle.

Scott:

Okay, next we have the Chargers,

Willy:

Cincinnati

Scott:

Cincinnati Chargers.

Willy:

That's, that's not right

Scott:

No,

Willy:

It's a, it's a mid one, right?

Scott:

It's a big one.

Willy:

the, it's in the middle.

Scott:

It's not in the mid, it's on the coast.

Scott:

Scott:

400 miles away.

Scott:

Duval.

Scott:

Duval, you know?

Scott:

Uh, did you ever watch The Good Place?

Willy:

Yeah.

Blake Bortles plays for favorite team?

Scott:

No, it's Jacksonville.

Scott:

Jacksonville.

Scott:

Okay.

Scott:

Jacksonville Jaguars versus the LA Chargers.

Willy:

Yeah.

Willy:

But you said it was in the, in the, in the dangly part of the United States.

Willy:

Jacksonville is in

Scott:

Florida.

Scott:

Sorry, I had something in my throat.

Scott:

Yes.

Scott:

Yes, it is

Willy:

Oh, I always thought Jacksonville was in Mississippi.

Willy:

Boy, God, I am not

Scott:

There might be a Jacksonville, Mississippi too.

Scott:

I, I don't know.

Scott:

So who's gonna win?

Willy:

Which one?

Willy:

Oh, what two?

Willy:

I'm sorry that took 20 minutes to figure that out.

Scott:

The Chargers versus the Jaguars.

Scott:

Jaguars,

Scott:

All right.

Scott:

Sunday the 15th.

Scott:

We have the Dolphins from

Willy:

Miami,

Scott:

versus the bills from,

Willy:

Buffalo,

Scott:

there we go,

Willy:

New York,

Scott:

That's right.

Scott:

Who's gonna win

Willy:

Buffalo,

Scott:

Of course.

Scott:

I, I think that should be, they're playing for the Super Bowl for, for DeMar.

Scott:

Scott:

Vikings versus the Giants.

Willy:

New York.

Scott:

Correct.

Scott:

Who are you gonna pick?

Scott:

Uh,

Willy:

I don't know any of the scores.

Willy:

I would like to think that the Vikings would make it past this first round, but

Willy:

I am the truest of Minnesota sports fan and I know that our run ended this week,

Scott:

All right.

Scott:

it, I mean, we've already beat the Giants once.

Scott:

It's hard to beat a team twice.

Willy:

especially for a Minnesota team

Scott:

now we have the Ravens from Baltimore versus, versus the Bengals.

Scott:

We gotta keep this going.

Willy:

from the bagel.

Scott:

the bangles.

Scott:

You said it earlier,

Willy:

I said this earlier.

Scott:

You thought, you thought the

Willy:

trying to cheat.

Willy:

I'm looking at the logo.

Willy:

I have no idea.

Scott:

you thought the Seahawks plate there.

Scott:

That's the first guess.

Willy:

No, I said Seattle for the Seahawks.

Scott:

You said, you said Cincinnati Bengals, like one of the

Scott:

first guesses.

Willy:

got it.

Willy:

Oh

Scott:

My, my jaw hurts from laughing so much.

Willy:

there.

Willy:

There's people listening to this who are either appalled or love it.

Scott:

yeah.

Scott:

Ah, I hope it's the letter.

Scott:

Ravens Bengals.

Scott:

Who You got?

Willy:

Ravens.

Willy:

It's one of those Mississippi teams you named early

Willy:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Scott:

Bay.

Scott:

Tampa Bay, that's right.

Scott:

Who?

Scott:

You got

Willy:

The Cowboys,

Scott:

the Cowboys.

Scott:

And there you have

Scott:

it, ladies and gentlemen.

Scott:

Oh my gosh.

Scott:

Uh, I was gonna do something kind of fun and special for the national college game,

Scott:

but like what color do you like better?

Scott:

Red or purple?

Willy:

purple

Scott:

Purple.

Scott:

Okay.

Scott:

Willie's picking the TCU horned frogs.

Scott:

All hail hypno.

Willy:

I have no idea what words you just said to me right now.

Scott:

Oh

Willy:

I feel, I feel like I've.

Willy:

I've just gone through something, man.

Scott:

Oh, I, I don't know if anything we just went through was

Scott:

in those life hacks, but maybe you could just refer back to that list.

Willy:

Okay, so just to sum this up, Jaguars, I don't

Willy:

know why I said it so weird.

Willy:

Ravens, bills, Cowboys, giants, and Seahawks are all moving forward.

Scott:

we are not a show about financial advice, but if you wanted

Scott:

place bets, that's Willie's picks and

Willy:

I need to know yours.

Willy:

You're the, you're the one who knows

Willy:

this.

Willy:

How often am I from you?

Scott:

I was gonna pick 49ers, Vikings, cuz I'm a Homer.

Scott:

The Bengals and.

Scott:

I'm gonna go with the Buccaneers for upset.

Scott:

I'm gonna go with Chargers over Jags and bills over dolphins.

Willy:

we agreed on one the bills.

Willy:

I don't know what to tell you, man.

Willy:

Like

Scott:

Did I say the bills twice?

Willy:

No.

Scott:

Okay.

Scott:

I thought I did for some reason.

Scott:

I don't know why I didn't read it In order.

Willy:

Oh God,

Scott:

Well, Scott,

Willy:

here's the deal, man.

Willy:

Sports are always a controversial.

Willy:

but I think I have one that's more controversial.

Scott:

Are, are we gonna talk about politics?

Willy:

No, we're gonna talk about glitter.

Scott:

Gary Glitter?

Willy:

I don't know who that is.

Scott:

Do you know the, uh, the NHL song?

Willy:

Yeah, yeah.

Scott:

That's Gary Glitter.

Willy:

Oh,

Scott:

I know.

Scott:

First piece

Willy:

surrounding him.

Willy:

We're not gonna dive into that right now.

Willy:

I'm not, I'm not focused on that.

Scott:

But

Willy:

in case somebody's native language isn't English and they've never heard

Willy:

the word glitter, what is, what is that?

Willy:

What?

Willy:

What do you think

Scott:

glitter

Scott:

is?

Scott:

off the top of my head, it's a bunch of really small pieces of plastic

Scott:

or paper and something that is used as a confetti or something that's

Scott:

used as a decoration for crafts.

Scott:

Things that you wanna make shiny, catch light.

Scott:

Really small angles.

Scott:

Did I, did I get it right, Sure.

Scott:

I

Willy:

you're probably pretty close, I want to expedite your learning

Willy:

process and get you to the point of being able to watch this TikTok video.

Willy:

let me sum this up for you.

Willy:

The controversy goes like this.

Willy:

There is a company known as Glitter X in New Jersey.

Willy:

They're one of the largest glitter making companies in the.

Scott:

the world.

Scott:

Wow.

Willy:

and I'm not sure that, this has become apparent to anybody, but when

Willy:

you start to get up to like the highest level of manufacturing, there's not

Willy:

a lot of companies that make things.

Willy:

So you might think, oh, there's a million little brands that sell

Willy:

types of glitter, but no And the way in which it's made is incredibly

Willy:

secretive and it's very suspicious.

Scott:

It's silent glitter X

Willy:

But why, why is it sus well, like, why is it so secretive?

Scott:

Uh, there's probably some proprietary manufacturing process that

Scott:

they've held onto since the beginning of time, and got an agreement with

Scott:

this other glitter company that, Hey, we'll do this together and

Scott:

we're not gonna let anybody else.

Scott:

Cuz Has there ever been a time where you've needed to get

Scott:

glitter and you couldn't find it?

Scott:

Do you ever recall reading about the, worldwide glitter shortage of 1987?

Scott:

No.

Scott:

You

Scott:

can't.

Willy:

but you're starting to touch on something where

Willy:

is glitter in everyday items.

Willy:

You might find it in things like credit cards.

Willy:

You might find it in phishing bait.

Willy:

it seems harmless,

Scott:

but it's

Scott:

everywhere.

Willy:

glitter ex Scott is withholding something.

Willy:

The answer to this question, it's a pretty innocent question.

Scott:

question,

Willy:

but there was an interview conducted with one of the

Willy:

representatives from Glitter X named Ms.

Willy:

Dyer, who was asked, who is your biggest buyer?

Scott:

Is there last initial E ? Miss because that's a fake name.

Willy:

When asked if she knew the answer, she replied, oh God, yes.

Willy:

Followed by what was probably a little bit of nervous laughter, and then

Willy:

said, and you would never guess it.

Willy:

Let's just leave it at that,

Scott:

Hold up.

Scott:

This is some, this is like the, uh, kfc, original 11 herbs and spices.

Scott:

The Coke brand.

Willy:

deep.

Willy:

This is the conspiracy theory to break all conspiracy theories.

Willy:

What is glitter?

Willy:

that they, that the, that the people don't want you to know.

Scott:

if we just looked at random everyday items, like you were

Scott:

saying, fishing lures have glitter in them credit cards, they have

Scott:

that spackle of sparkle stuff.

Scott:

certain things that are made outta plastic that you put inside you.

Scott:

Probably have glitter in them.

Willy:

is there a big market for that?

Willy:

Is this the biggest buyer of glitter?

Willy:

The thing that would make you go what?

Willy:

The actual frog town.

Scott:

NFL helmets have glitter

Willy:

Why is that controversial?

Willy:

We know that glitters in, that we know glitters in car paint or

Scott:

car paint.

Scott:

Yeah.

Willy:

No.

Willy:

This is something that they don't want you to know, so, so

Scott:

thing, ,the worst thing that I know it's in is the air.

Scott:

Cause I mean, if you've ever just seen a glitter bomb, like all those

Scott:

people that steal packages and get their muppets from that one really

Scott:

cool dude, it doesn't just go on the ground, it probably goes into the

Scott:

water . And so it's on land, sea, and air

Scott:

And, we're probably breathing in microplastics, which arc glitter.

Willy:

I need you to direct your eyes and ears to this video, and let me

Willy:

just set this up by stating that I may have opened up a can of worms for

Willy:

some of our audience this may or may not bring you down a rabbit hole of

Willy:

never finding an answer and constantly questioning everything, I knew that.

Willy:

So I think it is fair to assume based on this video that the two leading theories

Willy:

that we have today, as, a, glitter

Scott:

community,

Willy:

the glitzy, is that it's either money.

Willy:

It's just in money, and the us you know, the, the big state,

Willy:

they don't want us to know.

Scott:

The, uh, that's where all of our money is going.

Scott:

That's why we're in debt.

Scott:

Forget the military budget.

Scott:

There is a big redacted article that is just like 1 trillion for glitter.

Willy:

Glitter X wealthiest company in the world.

Willy:

George Soros works for that company,

Scott:

George Soros owns glitter.

Scott:

That's probably bad.

Scott:

That's probably gonna get us too monetized.

Scott:

We shouldn't say that.

Willy:

But we will get to the bottom of this.

Willy:

If you have a theory, if you think it's something that is not obvious that

Willy:

you, that the company wouldn't want

Scott:

you

Scott:

to

Scott:

know,

Willy:

just tell us everywhere.

Willy:

Tell us in all the places.

Scott:

We want you to glitter bomb our socials with your theories on why

Scott:

and what glitter is being used for.

Willy:

Thank you.

Willy:

Thank you.

Willy:

Thank you so much for hanging out with us today.

Scott:

find more of us on our socials and we'll see you next week.
