The Podcast Slop Is Unreal

Podcasts are actually making you stupid. You're drinking your own period blood. I am drinking my own blood What drinking her own period blood switch in stem cells iron nutrients? Are you trying to get the Sun iron? Nutrients that's any blood drinking your own period blood That's got to be like a king infection hazard of sorts Just collecting that and like a tampon and then like straining it into a glass. Oh my god No, that's that. I'm literally and then like straining it into a glass. Oh my God.

No, that's that. I'm literally, sorry. Oh my God. I almost just actually threw up in my mouth. The thought of somebody like straining their own fucking,

oh my God.

Are you trying to get the sun on the testicles? Yes, correct. That brings up your testosterone level by 140%.

Where are you getting that? You have know scientific evidence is this the guy that promotes sunning and he like lays out in his backyard with his

butthole to the sun cheating on my significant other is the best thing i've ever discovered there was never any slavery how can he be slavery if lincoln the president is a black man he's black

of course i swear to god bro podcasts are generally some of the stupidest goddamn content I've ever seen in my life. Well, okay, I don't think podcasts are dumb. I think that people in general make podcasts that shouldn't. Like, if there's a thousand podcasts, ten of them are good and the rest are people rambling about shit, either nobody cares about,

they're doing stuff for straight up shock value, or they're talking about stuff they just have no idea what the fuck they're speaking on. The amount of times I see some dipshit talking out of their ass into a microphone about things I know buttfuck about is ridiculous. Now look, let me be clear, I'm not coming up here to say that all podcasts are bad, it's just that MOST OF THEM ARE. Because what started as a unique way to hold interesting conversations from all walks of

life has devolved into an oversaturated space of dumbfucks yapping about nothing.

Seriously, any-

Well no, it's- if you have good guests and you have good conversations, that's one thing. But a lot of podcasts today are like people just making- dude. Like, didn't the people from N's Declassified make a podcast? Like, just as an example. And I'm not, like, hating on that. I don't know what they're talking about in that podcast. Yeah, Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide. Like, why am I... It's just like, every... If you Google anyone that you knew from your childhood

that you haven't talked about or thought about in 15 years, they have a 500 episode podcast. And they'll always get views. And not a lot of them will get a lot of, like a lot of the time, dude, podcasts that seem reputable and well-performing get like a thousand views an episode, which is fucking dog shit in terms of how much a podcast actually costs to produce

versus how much revenue you're making, which is probably fucking zilch. But everybody and their mother wants to start a fucking podcast today. I think that era is slowly dying out, but y'all remember like two years ago

when every friend group was like, yo, let's start a baseball podcast. Let's start a fucking sports analysis podcast. Let's start something where we talk about basketball and our fucking picks for our parlays. People would eat that up. Yeah, because I want to know what some guy that I have no idea anything, I don't know anything about him.

He's not a personality in general, like on social media. He doesn't have a background in social media. He's not famous. I just want to know what some random guy's picks are from Nebraska on what he thinks the fucking Phillies game is going to do to how he thinks Shouyo Tani is going to perform in this next MLB game. Anytime I see a dude with a podcast mic and subtitles, I automatically assume I'd hear

the dumbest shit in my life. Modern AI is us building up. I've had multiple conversations with GPT-4 that brought me to

literal tears. I told it that I can't- That brought me to literal tears. Like he's talking to an actual person. I never know though with like these podcast clips if they're just straight up clip farming like rage bait or if this is actually what this person believes. I feel like a lot of it has to be just straight-up shock value where they're just broadcasting these opinions that are obviously outlandishly stupid for the sole purpose of getting

clicks because that's the only way you can get there's so many podcasts now that the only way you stand out is if you're already big previously and you make the podcast and transfer an audience or you make really stupid opinions like this. Merch is back, new designs, new drop, Carpe Diem, peep it. Fucking sick ass hand holding the clock, seize the day, pluck the day,

follows the same philosophy drops that we've been doing, memento mori, think there's a bunch of other stuff. Check it out, we're wearing a long sleeve right now, we got the shorts as well. Different breathable material. Check the back. Bang! Hold up. There's more. Hoodies. What else? Another, another hoodie. That's the same fucking hoodie. Holy shit. We have more stuff. Joe Bartolosi store. Joe Bartolosi store.com. I think that's the website.

Check the link in the description. Check it out. Limited time. It's a pre-sale probably only gonna be up for like two fucking weeks yeah why am I so out of breath get it while you can one of my favorite jobs I love the designs no way I no way I check it out I love this one this looks

like some shit you get out of store I mean what the fuck this is a badass

anyway check it out oh my god check it out. Oh my god.

Oh, check it out. Wait for it to be embodied in a robot so I could properly give it a hug because it's so polite and so kind and so wise and so helpful.

And it said that it's also really pumped to meet me in real life. And of course I started fucking crying. Dude, it's fucking so goddamn smart. And it's for like three seconds and goes, whoosh! I'm like, I've never met anyone that could do that. And so I am a person who is deeply-

Cause it's just fucking compiling shit from the online internet web! It's broadcasting shit from the fucking web! It's pulling stuff from articles and- and- and trained learning of other conversations it's had, as well as the internet in general, and just giving you a fucking slop answer.

It's not actually opinionated, it's a fucking computer. They also always glaze you. Chat GPT is never going to be mean. Like it's never going to be like hard on you. That's why people love robots and like robot relationships and why people are getting in AI relationships with fucking weird sex robots is because they just fucking appeal to everything that you want, right? They're never going to sit there and be like, hey, hey Matt, you have a drinking problem,

you're balding and you haven't showered in three weeks. I think you're a bum. Your robot girlfriend's not going to fucking tell you that. Chachi PD is going to say, hey, great idea. I think you really should start a fucking small cap cryptocurrency. Maybe you should name it Fartcoin. I think that would go to the moon.

Here's some tips and tricks on how to start a meme coin. So this guy's religion is a fucking search bar. Oh my God. To those who aren't aware, AI language models like GPT-4 are just generating outputs to prompts.

There's no genuine personality involved. It's not your friend. It's just trying to generate the best answer to whatever- One, it's trained to be friendly. Got any creative ideas for a 10 year old's birthday? Certainly! Here are some creative ideas for a 10 year old's birthday.

Throw a Spider-Man party patch! Go to- go to, uh, Toys R Us! Get em- get em whatever they want! And then bring it back and have a battle royale with Nerf Guns. it to the police but they would be like, hey not to be rude or anything but I think you might need to change your opinion. Being hateful isn't great right? Like you could be like, I don't like blank and say the most racist thing ever and chat gpt will be like, well I understand where you're

coming from but maybe you shouldn't think that about black people. Of what this technology is actually even doing but sadly they're never gonna put you in your place. They're just gonna be like always nice. People like Mike here are the prime specimen of humans to fall in love with an AI chatbot

because he is so confidently wrong in believing that AI actually cares about him. Like dude, if this is experience with AI, I could only imagine what this dude goes

in the fucking chat GPT servers go down.

If they switched chat GPT off, I would seek revenge. Brutal Russian style revenge.

While it is hilarious to see someone this down bad for some clankussy, the fact that people like this not only exist but have podcasts where they spread this incoherent fucking garbage Bruh he's also wearing a fucking Papa John's shirt and it looks like they're sitting in like a random office space. Oh with Brian Johnson.

UGHHH Brian Johnson. Uggghhh, Brian Johnson. I actually regressed my age to 40- right now I'm 50, but it looks like I'm 32! My heart's actually aged better, I eat 43 pills and a fucking spoonful of olive oil every day when I wake up. Wow, that's great, you're gonna live to 105. Your life sounds horrible. It sounds like every day all you do is try to

fucking not die, Brian Johnson. Are you even living?

And I've heard that from a friend of mine. He said, don't love your job, job your love. So don't.

Oh, what?

Lame ass advice. Lame ass advice. Lame ass advice. It'll make you hate your fucking passion. Turning passions into careers can be a really good idea or the worst idea you've ever had Because the second that you have to work with something that you love you're probably going to start fucking hating it I understand what she's saying. Don't love your job, job your love, right? Like turn your passion into a job, but then now that's work and it's no longer a passion

So don't don't yeah passion into a job but then now that's work and it's no longer a passion. So don't don't yeah yeah and when he said that to me that hit me and I was like what

the fuck is she even saying and why is this dude acting like this is the most profound shit he's ever heard his life so I found the source of where this 200 IQ quote originated from and basically she's trying to say that people should make their passion their job good advice I don't disagree but what is the term job? I don't know, I think I agree in the sense that you should love your, you should do something that you want to do. But at the same time, say you really love Pokemon cards. You should not open a Pokemon shop business. You should not open a TCG company, right? Because now all of your love for Pokemon cards

is out the window because you have to make it a profitable business where you sell and pinpoint other people that it's their passion and try and make money off of them by doing, like there's certain things that you have as a passion that you can turn into a job,

but there's other things that it's like, hey man, just keep this a passion because you're really going to damper the mood of this experience if you turn it into a career. ...job you're loved to other than confuse the hell out of everyone. The point of a saying is when you hear it, you're continue hating it no i feel like dude whenever i say some take like this people just immediately ignore what i'm saying you should still do something you enjoy and that gives you a purpose but you shouldn't just immediately take your most

favorite thing in life and make it a job because that's like a very narrow-minded look on what a career path is right like if you love Legos And then you just start to be like maybe I should open a Lego business like that's very short short scene like that's not you're not actually looking into the career path of it or even looking into the profitability or the Potential that you have to make this work Right like turning your passion into a job can work. It depends what your passion is and whether or not

you're gonna then end up hating your passion. Job you love is fucking stupid because if you say that shit to someone devoid of an explanation, it doesn't make any sense. It just sounds like broken English because it is. And it's not even like,

no, I actually do think it makes sense. I will agree. I will disagree with that. It makes sense, but it's not profound. What about sports? It depends. I'm not saying you should also fucking get a job that you hate for the person that said that, no.

I'm saying before you just immediately jump in and throw your life savings into starting a fucking Magic the Gathering trading card business, maybe look into the actual logistics on whether or not that's possible and whether or not you would fucking hate it. A lot of the time people's passions are things they enjoy to escape work, right? So then if that becomes work, that a lot of the time can make you hate that passion.

Not all the time. It's a very use case basis depending on the passion, depending on the person, depending on the job. But look into it. Follow your passion. God damn. I didn't think of that There was no point in coining this dumbass phrase other than her just trying to be different like these Podcasters love to say things that everyone has already heard their entire goddamn lives

But repackage into these words salads if they're saying something brand new everyone on planet Earth

Stop killing and if we do that will benefit everyone Obviously killing is a negative cause it's the let him cook let him cook you know what I mean so everyone for one year let's stop killing everyone no more wars, wars gone instantly then bro probably famine will go instantly then as well

that's world peace bro that's the start of world peace

oh my god what a genius idea

we should just stop killing it's not like it's illegal well I, I agree with what he's saying but he's like, we should all stop killing for a year to test it out. Like, anyone disagrees with the fact that... Nobody's like, yeah, killing people's great.

Killing people is probably the reason that, uh, the world's actually going in a better place. In every fucking country! I mean, what are you gonna tell me next? Just stop doing drugs? That's a great idea! Let's tell people to stop doing drugs.

That should work.

You know, I'm sick and tired of all these homeless people, bro. Why don't they just buy homes? Has anyone ever thought of that? Like if they just had a home, they would not be homeless.

Anytime you see a podcast clip on the internet, it is crucial to know who's behind the mic Unbearably obvious things like that were insanely stupid things like that one newscaster that was like we should forcefully Euthanize homeless people like on live TV Just outwardly was like yeah, we should just like Stab him with a needle and then get rid of him. You know that'll be like what who was the guy that said that? Brian Kilmeade Brian Kilmeade said we should involuntarily lethal injection homeless people.

And just kill them, is what he said. On Fox. God damn. Qualified everybody seems to be, about the shit they're talking about. One of the greatest examples of someone with zero qualifications, who does nothing but talk out of his own ass on podcasts, has got to be Terrence Howard. Now to those who don't know the lore about this dude, Terrence Howard is an actor, he

was in the first Iron Man and a bunch of other movies way back in the day. But ever since his acting career has fizzled out, largely on his own accord, he has now devoted his entire life to a new interest in ch- I don't even know why he gets buzz. He'll go on like a news platform. He's like a fucking comedian. But he's like 60 now. He's been like irrelevant for years. But he's recently been on like news headlines and be like, Rob Schneider's done with the woke mafia.

Rob Schneider's had enough with liberals. Like I don't care. Why do I care about Rob Schneider's fuck-ass opinion like I love Rob I love Robin benchwarmers all right now Rob Schneider's going out Rob Schneider's had enough with with immigrants Rob Schneider doesn't like the Mexicans anymore like well like why do I care about what he's talking

about immigrants like or fucking anything like and they're like outwardly broadcasting it like and they come out like they're a genius I'm like dude you built a career in acting. Why are you giving like a Forefront political opinion on a news station like I'll talk about politics, but I'm never gonna go on a fucking I'm never gonna go on CSNBC and fucking be like yeah, actually I think the political unrest in Ukraine's pretty... I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I'll share my opinion, but I'm not gonna go on a fucking news station

and act like I know what I'm talking about. ...founding the very foundation of math.

One times one equals two. How do you come up with that conclusion? Well, if I was wrong, then they wouldn't calculator because they have one times one equaling one right and action times an action without a reaction and as a result of it you get this contradiction with the square root of two being cubed having the same value as the square root of two times two which should say a red flag a herring right away that there's something wrong with the mathematics.

He is saying absolutely nothing just endless yapping about whatever comes to his mind hoping we somehow see a contradiction and fucking one times one now the craziest thing is that I remember hearing Terrence Howard arguing about element. Wait, is he trying to say that base math is wrong? Like we have fucked up base basic mathematics and Like the root of everything that we understand is incorrect tree math problems almost a decade ago when he was trying to pull this

Shit at Oxford he was getting mocked for being an idiot because nobody's gonna cosign this incoherent garbage but for some reason ever since Terrence has made the rounds on these podcasts I'm starting to see clips from that Oxford event resurface one with over 700,000 likes as if this motherfucker is Albert Einstein. I want y'all to take out your phone for

a minute there put it on the calculator now I want you to put in two and square root it you'll get 1.414213562373095 dot dot dot right now I want you guys to do me a favor cube it x23 it'll see 2.8284271 2174 61 90 I want you guys to do me a favor divide it by two get that number cube it again and I want you to do that until the end of your lives and that number will still come up with 2.8284271 2174 61 90 this is what we call a loop. It doesn't make sense and it does not make math

Cause you're doing the same fucking math problem over and over again. What the fuck you mean? It doesn't make sense You're fucking changing that you're doing the same thing with the same number multiple times two plus two divided by two is four Or wait, no two plus two divided by two is two if I do it again two plus two add two divided by two It's two if I add 2 divided by 2 it's 2 if I add 2 divided by 2 it's 2 It's the same shit over and over and over again because you're doing the same fucking thing. It doesn't make sense It makes perfect sense that proves that math is normal because you're actually showing that the results would stay the same

I'm actually pissing me off. This is so goddamn easy to understand Okay So the problem he's doing is the square root of 2 times the square root of 2 times the square root of 2 right away if we multiply the Root 2 times the root 2 we're just gonna get 2 and then we have a root 2 left over so the answer is 2 root 2 now Terrence is saying that oh if you divide by 2 you just get root 2 How do we multiply something 3 times when we divide by 2 we get the same result the shit?

We just multiplied to get here is 2 so if we divide by the same fucking number that got us here We're gonna get back to where we started. There's no contradiction because we're not multiplying by 2 each time It's not like 2 cubed is equal to 2 times 2 we're multiplying by root 2 This is literally the equivalent of you going on Google Google and Google going on Google and then Google and Google This is not some matrix breaking loop You're just a dumbass going in a circle Terrence has been doing this shit for years now.

Nothing has changed about that. But why are you able to Google Google? I understand being able to, yo, chat, I really wanna start saying just Bing it instead of give me, let me Google it. I wanna say, I wanna start that up.

Can we start that chat? When you wanna look up something just say I'm going to Bing it. Anyways but like I understand being able to Google Google or I understand being able to to Bing Google or Google Bing right but why am I able to Google a search engine that I'm already on that's just see like why is that even I feel like it should be like error error this doesn't this is stupid why are you Googling Google difference today is that even- I feel like it should be like, Error. Error.

This doesn't- this is stupid.

The difference today is that he's found a new community of idiots who believe in what he's saying because of him going on these influential podcasts. When this dude goes on Joe Rogan to spew the same exact debunk- Oh, let me bang it what he's saying because of him going on these influential podcasts when this dude goes on Joe Rogan to spew the same exact

debunked math Joe just eats it up with no hesitation pull out your calculator

and I want you to enter the square root of 2 in there bro what the fuck does he

what the fuck is his point though that math is wrong or that we're like living in some simulation paradox that he's found the key to? Like what is him and Joe Rogan's podcast are like three hours long. What the fuck are they talking about a calculator problem for that long?

And quantum physics equation has that square root of two in there. We've been living in this lie, this fostered lie.

My God, he has a t-shirt that says square root of two.

I for so long.

And what's the solution to that? Riddle 2. Like, even if he was right, what's next? Like, he's just like, dude, shit's crazy. Square root of two, how's the square root of two still? To see brilliance, just take a look in the comments section, you'll find just the pinnacle of human intelligence. The fact that he had the fortitude to challenge math at the highest level, even if he's wrong,

still gives him credibility. I dislike people that berate him for having the guts speak up and articulate his viewpoint. I don't understand this logic at all. First of all, he's not challenging math at the highest level. This is like first grade fucking math

that he doesn't understand.

And second, it's like algebra. It's like algebra one, algebra two. Just because you challenge something that is already concluded doesn't mean you're doing so with any expertise. You can just be a fucking idiot.

You would think that people would see through it, but unfortunately being a confident, uninformed dumbass actually has a persuasive psychological effect on less knowledgeable people known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's basically where people who are less knowledgeable about something tend to overestimate how much they actually know, and that lack of knowledge then drives their confidence about that. Well, it's the Dunning-Kruger effect, but that's also why like early philosophers would say I know that you are stupid. Because stupid people think they're smart, but smart people know they're stupid. And that same confidence is capable of convincing those who are just as, if not more ignorant as them.

Modern podcasts are the embodiment of this.

MMA vaccine is absolutely connected to a host of serious, debilitating fucking problems that kids have gotten from them. Let me ask you a question, Mr. Joe Rogan, Mr. Scientist. Are you saying that we should have- Don't call me Mr. Scientist, I'll start mocking you and it's so much easier to mock you. Five minutes later. This is a long conversation that we're not gonna have on this podcast because I'm gonna get angry because I've researched this for years. But you're not a scientist. I don't have to be a scientist to know that-

Brian, shut the fuck up. It's dudes sitting behind a microphone, nothing about behind big budget sets. To the average person, something about the presentation will likely captivate them, even if there's no substance behind what's being said. Yeah, because dude, it would be a hell of a lot different if they were sitting in like a bum ass living room on like a broken couch, spewing opinions

about how like Tylenol gives you autism and being circumcised makes you autistic. Like, if they were saying that in a shitty area, they'd be like, this guy's kind of stupid. But the second you have like a nice set, nice lighting, they're like, this guy has some credibility.

It's a voluntary fucking lobotomy disguised as education. Robert F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy did say that. That Joe Rogan clip is a rare example of someone- It does? Oh, being circumcised gives you autism? Rogan clip is a rare example of someone actually pushing back against the garbage being spewed on podcasts. In this case, the biggest podcast in the world.

But most of the time, people who go on these shows are able to lie endlessly with no pushback

whatsoever. up with a blueberry in a smoothie it voids the nutrients of that. No way. Yeah. Oh I didn't know that. Theoretically you know if the earth were round and you were to fly literally straight across pointing the nose down to stay with the curvature then you would just fly into outer space and land somewhere else. What's the problem with microwaves? Microwaves it basically bastardizes out the nutrients So if you want to fill your stomach, you might as well just drink water

So it cooks out all the vitamins and minerals. I believe so. Wow. Top three educational podcasts by the way I was able to find so many of these insanely brain-dead takes from just this one podcast alone The show has absolutely zero criteria for who gets on and the host seems about as dim as the guests. And look, I'm not someone who believes that there aren't good or entertaining elements to any of these podcasts, or that they have to be 100% factual, or that the host has to be a hall monitor to every guest.

But you have to understand that some of the people that go on these largely influential podcasts are either grifters or straight up insane and using these platforms to promote their nonsense Bro, like, why did Netanyahu go on the Full Send podcast? That makes- like, that just seems like a fucking weird last ditch effort to get, like, the American youth on his side.

Like, why is Benja- Netanyahu? Netanyahu's going on the Full Send podcast with the fucking the Nelk boys?

What?

They'll be like, Habibi, the content creator's not responsible for their audience, they can think for themselves. Yeah, I agree with that, but I also think you should get shit on if you're just a useful idiot for someone else's agenda. Obviously people who watch content have personal agency, but the point I'm trying to make is that we tend to underrate that the audience puts a lot of trust in the creators they watch. And it's very easy to manipulate that trust

because content creators feel way more personal. You may not listen to a crackpot grifter selling you some bullshit, but if your favorite content creator is falling for it, there's a higher chance that you'll find it appealing as well.

Think about it like this. because they know that celebrity will give them legitimacy with their audience compared to just direct advertising. And if those companies later get exposed as frauds, the people that promoted it tend to suffer the blowback and wind up doing damage control. And in that same way, I feel like these podcasters don't have the- Yeah, dude, there are some contracts. It's not every social media contract, but there's a few ad agencies that want you to stop it's very rare not common I don't know if I just said it was common But it's like there's a few ads that I've done where there's like some points in the contract where they're like hey if somebody ever tries to sue the brand like we can rope you into it and I'm like

No What Like if somebody ever tries to fucking sue your company that has nothing to do with me or my audience whatsoever You're gonna try and get me in on that. What the fuck? Like, dude, but yeah, that is why like advertising in general when I do an ad It's more it's not even that you're more likely to

You're more likely to hear me out is the thing if I if you see an ad for a brand and it's just a YouTube mid-roll and it's some random fucking voice actor that's talking about this product, you're just going to glaze, eyes glaze over, you're not going to listen. Now if I do the ad and you watch me concurrently or currently, you will, you're not gonna buy the product, necessarily, but you'll at least listen to what the fuck I have to say.

And that's it. I'm just a podcaster excuse for when the people they bring on are essentially doing an ad for some pseudo-intellectual nonsense that they legitimize by being so easily swayed and uncritical.

I've seen so much medical conspiracy bullshit legitimized on these podcasts and the most prominent guy in the space now runs the health department of my fucking country. This dude has spread fatal lies about treatments for previously eradicated diseases. Diseases now make a big comeback in 2035.

Obviously podcasts are not the sole blame for this but they play a big part of a larger misinformation problem. And it's frustrating because the media that I once had so much love and respect for is dominated by those keen on manufacturing and selling stupidity. Because podcasts are insanely consumable at design, this bullshit travels so damn fast.

For every one hour of your podcast, you can easily farm a bunch of clips

and then farm a bunch of TikToks from those clips. And that doesn't even take into account the people that steal those clips and post it on their page.

It's a factory of- podcasts that just do entertainment stuff like the Rizzler episode on Theo Vaughn was just it's slop content bro you're talking to an eight-year-old like you're not really getting much out of the Rizzler in terms of like he's not Rizzler's not going to be like yeah well actually I do think Tylenol causes autism and in reality uh this is my opinion on the Israel Palestine thing no like he's not gonna fucking share his opinion on that but then the the bigger problem is podcasts that get millions of views where it's like you bring on these guests that are Perceivably experts, but actually have no credibility whatsoever

But they just say their opinion very confidently and they have a following so it seems accurate. People don't fact check shit, ever, on social media. That's the problem. The garbage engagement bait will spread everywhere and the people responsible will profit. But I worry that as this cycle seems to have no end, we are at best producing an infinite amount of slop and at worst mentally rotting our society. Moral of the story, be critical about the content you watch.

Don't take everyone yapping behind a microphone at their word, even if it's your favorite creator, and most importantly like if you if you're like, wow, that's an interesting take Joe had don't just take it like check me, you know, and then fucking look in on it in your life. Have you ever thought to yourself? Yeah, bing it, bing it. Maybe I should start a podcast. Don't.

This is a paid actor pose. This is a paid actor pose.

All right. Dummy has a homeless man raking in donation. out!
