the best one was probably a few that
0:46
couldn't be repeated and that I don't
0:47

1:15
has learned to check party affiliations
1:17
before going on a date she added that it
1:19
was mostly a lovely time and I've taken
1:21
responsibility for my actions I'd love
1:23
to know how the musical ended and they
1:25
encourage people to go and see it well I
1:27
I love it I love it but what I want to
1:30
know is was she vaping and giving the
1:31
[ __ ] at the same time or were they
1:33
separate things because first she says
1:35
not that wasn't me then I wasn't vaping
1:38
and then I am so sorry I should have
1:40
checked his political affiliation like
1:42
the pr team in Colorado is working
1:43
overtime he was going in for the kill
1:45
too he was getting up I mean he got the
1:47
otphj on the first date at Beetlejuice
1:50
because there was some heavy movements
1:52
in a movie for a first date and you know
1:54
I get that there are kids around but you
1:56
know look if it's rated R or whatever I
1:58
mean you know who are we to say no to
2:01
that keep up the good work Lauren
2:03
do you ever think about the Roman Empire
2:06
according to tick tock men think about
2:09
it a lot the hashtag Roman Empire has
2:11
now been tagged over 1 billion times on
2:13
Tick Tock in the most viral clip with
2:16
5.1 million views author Sam slupsky a
2:20
recounted scene the meme and ended up
2:21
having a 45 minute convo with her
2:23
husband about the Roman Empire after he
2:25
said he thinks about it every single day
2:27
Brian how frequently do you think about
2:29
the Romans every day every single day I
2:32
can't wait to buy that Lego fixture that
2:33
they use the whole Roman Empire around
2:36
it uh yeah hell yeah every single day
2:38
what about you zero yeah that doesn't
2:40
crossbody I think about the Civil War
2:42
quite frequently I'm on a grant uh
2:44
biography so I think about that
2:46
constantly a lot of the responses were
2:48
about World War one and two that
2:49
everybody thinks about I really don't
2:50
think about the Roman Empire every day
2:52
but yeah yeah but maybe if you're
2:54
playing your Legos you can
2:56
Unfortunately they banned the the Lego
2:58
battle of Gettysburg to reenact that
3:00
didn't go over one really some people
3:02
get obsessed but they're cancellations
3:07
billionaire Ken Griffin is freaking out
3:09
about the new dumb money movie which we
3:11
all had a pleasure of seeing last week
3:12
great movie check it out the Citadel CEO
3:15
who is portrayed by Nick Offerman in the
3:18
movie was concerned that the movie
3:20
receives and amplifies this many times
3:23
debunked collusion narrative that
3:25
Citadel and Robin Hood work together to
3:26
briefly halt trading of GameStop shares
3:28
Griffin's legal team also raised
3:30
complaints that his golfing habits were
3:32
grossly overblown by the movie and that
3:34
Griffin would never purchase paintings
3:36
by kooning and Picasso to keep them away
3:38
from Steve Cohen
3:40
we are missing the part about Steve
3:42
Cohen's pig that just casually walks
3:45
around the house in their 150 pound pig
3:48
that was a quote unquote uh like a
3:50
member of the family more people need to
3:52
be talking about that but look I mean if
3:54
he's so focused on trying to debunk the
3:57
collusion makes me wonder what do you
3:59
have to be afraid no I love how the
4:01
movie just shines such a close light on
4:03
that because like there was a ton of
4:04
lawsuits that got thrown out it just
4:06
shows how much money Citadel has working
4:08
in Congress and at all levels because
4:10
there's no way they didn't collude like
4:12
it's just like they they Robin Hood
4:14
didn't have enough money and Citadel
4:16
came and stopped them and they they
4:18
failed and they're also trying to be
4:20
like Hey listen our version of the
4:22
events are different than yours please
4:23
do not write about it or create any
4:25
motion pictures on it which I don't
4:27
think has ever worked in the course of
4:29
history
4:30
Cyber attack Strike Casino giant Caesar
4:34
and MGM the attacks are being attributed
4:37
to cyber criminal group scattered spider
4:40
who who claims to have stolen over six
4:43
terabytes don't know what the [ __ ] that
4:44
is of data from the two attacks computer
4:47
systems at MGM were shut down freezing
4:49
slot machines ATMs elevators and hotel
4:52
technology following the data breach
4:54
Caesars couldn't say with certainty that
4:57
the personal information of about tens
5:00
of millions of its customers was Secure
5:01
it had also not officially determined
5:04
whether either of the affected companies
5:06
paid a ransom to regain control of their
5:09
data but there are rumors what do we
5:11
think yo I heard there was the scattered
5:13
spider is actually a bunch of teenagers
5:14
which I heard really should have been
5:16
pretty good I mean we need a NSA needs
5:19
to hire them figure out who the
5:21
teenagers are give them a good
5:22
government salary we won't prosecute
5:24
them they hack for us it is wild though
5:26
going around I mean I saw some tick
5:28
tocks of people seeing like you couldn't
5:29
check into your hotel none of the casino
5:30
or none of the slot machines were
5:32
working a big hit for Vegas on this one
5:34
did you imagine being stuck in an
5:36
elevator at like MGM Grand 11 o'clock at
5:39
night with like a fan family from the
5:41
Midwest and like some other tourists
5:43
from God knows where and you're stuck
5:45
there would you rather take that or
5:46
Burning Man
5:48
[Laughter]
5:58
celebs are auctioning off quirky items
6:00
on Ebay to help the strike hit workers
6:03
some of the notable items include
6:04
letting Adam Scott walk your dog going
6:07
to dinner with Bob Odenkirk and David
6:09
Cross and doing a New York Times
6:12
crossword puzzle with Natasha Leone and
6:14
having Lena Dunham paint a mural in your
6:17
home this initiative comes from a group
6:18
of striking Writers Guild of America
6:20
writers who founded the union solidarity
6:24
Coalition which aims to connect industry
6:26
workers across unions even though it's
6:28
not on strike proceeds from the winning
6:30
bids will be funneled into a mutual Aid
6:32
fund for crew members who've lost their
6:34
health insurance during the strike
6:36
what do we think about auctioning off
6:37
dog walking by Adam Scott well I I just
6:41
Googled Lena Dunham
6:42
I wouldn't be paying for a mural in my
6:45
house I'd say that much maybe Nikki
6:47
Glazer if she did it nude but you know
6:49
we're we're for the uh Cruise the
6:54
casting individuals and everyone in the
6:56
industry who's deeply affected by this
6:58
and so we hope all the money actually
6:59
makes into that fun but who is bidding
7:01
who is Bob Odenkirk
7:08
yeah
7:09
honestly you kind of if you decided to
7:12
stay in the like law I think that you
7:13
would probably turn into Bob Odenkirk
7:15
okay yeah all right I'm taking that
7:17
generate taking some [ __ ] sketchy
7:19
deals here there gets the job done
7:20
totally don't need to be in love for
7:22
that Brian none
7:26
Elon Musk says Twitter also known as X
7:29
could charge all users subscription fees
7:31
the billionaire who made the comment
7:32
during a meeting with Israeli Prime
7:34
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that
7:36
the subscription fee would help ward off
7:38
Bots Twitter currently only charges
7:40
users for its Subscription Service X
7:41
premium which offers perks such as
7:43
verified account check marks and costs
7:45
between 8 and 11 a month Moss also said
7:48
its platform has 550 million monthly
7:50
users generating up to 200 million posts
7:52
a day how do we feel about getting
7:54
charged to use Twitter you know I I
7:57
think he's probably on to something if
7:59
it actually cuts out the Bots I think
8:01
everyone would be supportive of that if
8:03
it actually did that but for some reason
8:05
I have a feeling that that may not
8:06
happen because wasn't that the thesis of
8:08
having the eight dollars yeah I do have
8:10
to say cut down but if I get another
8:11
