Uh wow, that
80s music is like people don't give it enough credit.

Dude, and then like somebody throws on like a mixtape or something, or you know, a playlist of that, and you're like, oh, this is like the best shit.
What insights do the hosts share about interacting with beautiful people and celebrity culture?
And then you know the funny thing I have kids, young kids.
What is Jimmy’s final, wishful prediction for Bert Kreischer’s death?
And they love it. Well, you're like in you're like, oh, I'm not interested in the music. And then you realize everything that they're like, this is good. It's like forty or fifty years old.
Well you know what the interesting thing about that for me is uh there's a guy called uh Mark Fisher, uh who's like a theorist on music. And his thing was uh culture is downstream of technology. So we don't see it like that because we sort of go, well, no, culture is just kind of naturally uh it's a wellspring from somewhere, it just comes from the ether. But you go, no, it's downstream of technology. So someone invented a keyboard in the mid-70s in Germany, right? And then you get Dart Punk, and then you get all of that. 80s pop, so they were using this new music. So there's an amazing kind of flourishing because of this technology that came along. Mm. Or then the ability to loop causes like a lot of the R B and rap stuff that we love is kind of what causes that.
Sure. Right. And it's slightly like there's a weird theory now that the 21st century is just the 20th century on better screens. It's kind of a good theory. Like what's new? Like we're old dudes, so obviously we're gonna say that. We're gonna say there's nothing new, there's nothing going on. This is too good to waste this though. So we're not tap we're probably taping, aren't we?
Hundred percent.
Oh okay, then that's a g I was like what the f
Fuck, don't waste that. That's too good. No, well it's a it's an interesting. It's a guy there's a uh Polish philosopher called uh Zhu Jacques that talks about it a lot. Like just the idea the future's been cancelled. Because you think about like Hollywood now, what's the last movie that was like important? Global impact. That you could make a joke about on stage. And everybody everyone gets the joke. Because not everyone needs to have seen The Sixth Sense, but everyone got that that's what the movie was. I know. The Matrix, Fight Club, whatever those things were that people just went, Yeah, that's when we talk Talk about these a lot, you know? about language comedies a lot, you know?
Like what when we like about comedy movies. It's like when you want to say a reference that everybody goes like, yeah, you realize that you're like the hangover. And then you're like, oh that's like 20 years old now. You know what I mean? Like what's the what's the last comedy movie that if you say it and you go like e everybody like you go Borat, everyone's like, oh yeah, yeah. And you're like, yeah, that's 20 years old. Like it's not it's not a a recent thing.
Well I wonder if it's that our technology has changed. That we're not going to the movies anymore, to the cinema. That's you know, it's it's tailing off. You know, the Oscars is becoming less relevant and if you see the numbers on it, like what's what's becoming more relevant? So the idea that the phone is the technology now, so people are consuming things on the phone. So actually if you put up crowd work all the time, it suits people. Right. Because it's little bite sized chunks. It and actually it's it's not Not as good as the real experience. Like coming out and seeing a comic live, there's nothing like that. Yeah. Nothing like it. Nothing like it. You don't laugh in the same way. You laugh. I think someone someone sent me the stats.
It was like 30 times more at the same stimulus when you're in a crowd. Because it's like when you're performing, obviously the illusion is I'm on stage in Dallas last night and had great fun. And the illusion is, oh, he performed on stage. Yes. No. Sixteen hundred people performed in the audience.
