Jennifer Field: [00:00:05] Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is Season two Episode four of the unofficial official story. What up, everyone? I'm Jennifer and I am happy that it's June. Well, actually, I got to back that up because when is this episode come out?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:00:20] July.
Jennifer Field: [00:00:23] So let me just pretend it's July. Okay. I'm Jennifer, and I am so happy that it's summertime. I feel like this is the first summer that's, like, not as scary because of COVID. So ready to ready to party.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:00:37] That's a good point. I'm Dwayne, and I'm happy Jennifer now knows what month we're in. We got that settled and I'm happy my homie is here. And, yeah, I'm just. Just happy. Happy that I'm not an alien.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:00:52] And I'm Koji and I am an alien, so there you. Go.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:00:55] We've established. That. Yes.
Jennifer Field: [00:00:58] But what kind? What kind? Koji, are you. Are you a gray?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:01:00] Reptilian. A reptilian.
Jennifer Field: [00:01:02] Oh, I thought you were a gray alien.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:01:03] No, no, that's just a stereotype.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:01:05] He's a gray, he's a wanna be reptilian.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:01:09] Ben there's this whole thing online where people think Asians are gray aliens.
Ben Glieb: [00:01:13] Gray aliens?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:01:14] Gray aliens. You know, the gray one, the communion, the the ones that you see. And the reason they think that is because all the stereotypes of Asian people are the same stereotypes for but the same thing of the gray. So, like, the grays are hairless, they're the robots. Like they are good at math and science.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:01:30] They have an almond shaped.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:01:31] Yeah, almond shaped eyes, they are small, you know. So I don't, I don't buy into that whole theory. Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:01:37] Nice. On account of current cultural sensitivities, I have no opinion on that.
Jennifer Field: [00:01:47] Well played. Well played. All right. So this is a podcast where we tell you the official story. Okay, we're going to look at the paranormal conspiracies, unexplained phenomena, cryptids and true crime. By the end of each episode, we're going to tell you what really maybe happened. And in this episode, we're asking the question, what kind of alien is Elon Musk woo? But first, let's meet our very special guest, Ben Glieb. Hey, Ben. Okay. So Ben is a standup comedian, actor, writer and director, and he was named by TBS as one of the funniest comedians working today and was called The Number three Innovator that changed comedy in 2020. So for seven years, Gleb was one of the stars of Chelsea Lately on E! With over 100 appearances on Chelsea Handler's roundtable. His podcast last week on Earth with Ben Gleb on Kevin Smith's Smartcast Network debuted at number nine on iTunes comedy and was number one on Stitcher for over 20 weeks. That's pretty Legit.
Ben Glieb: [00:02:53] Thank you very Much.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:02:54] Thank you so much for being with us.
Ben Glieb: [00:02:56] It's my pleasure.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:02:57] You know What's interesting is that I do think you are an innovator, but also I feel like it's weird. You're like a new guy who is on the cusp. But this you respect the old school. It's clear you respect the old school. Kind of like how Drake is a great rapper. Drake and Kendrick and J Cole. They're all great because they kind of understand, like they could have all been rappers in the nineties, but they happen to be rappers. They could, if they could have their bridges. Like just like Jay-Z's a bridge.
Ben Glieb: [00:03:26] Totally.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:03:26] Jay-z's a bridge from eighties right to like Nas Jay-Z they have one foot in the rock can KURTIS blow things they grew up with that and one foot over here so like I know you're cool with cool with John Cleese right and I'm cool with well, he's great. It's amazing that we know him, right? It's outrageous.
Ben Glieb: [00:03:44] I do a virtual show with him called Please Glieb Me Alone.
Jennifer Field: [00:03:48] You guys know John Cleese?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:03:50] Yeah, we're pretty Good friends with him. Yeah.
Jennifer Field: [00:03:53] Wow.
Ben Glieb: [00:03:53] I'm co-billed I don't know how that happened.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:03:55] Yeah. And if, you know, I mean, you should know, but John Cleese is from Monty Python's Flying Circus. And,
Jennifer Field: [00:03:59] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:04:00] Just a legend in comedy. And so that's what I mean. Like, you know, guys like that, you can put on a jacket. You can do, you know what I mean? Like you could have you you could have easily existed. Like you could have ran with the Rat Pack if you wanted to, man. But also you're you're like cutting edge. So I think that's kind of cool,
Ben Glieb: [00:04:17] Dude. That's one of the highest compliments I've ever received. Thank you, Dwayne. I appreciate that. Yeah, I've always respected the old school. I love it. I grew up watching it. I'm of that generation that still remembers Johnny Carson being on the air.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:04:28] Right? Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:04:29] And then at the same time, you know, I try to stay as as as as hip with tictok as I can, you know?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:04:35] No, no, you're super hip. And you ran for office. Speaking of hip, and I worked with you on that. Some of that stuff.
Ben Glieb: [00:04:41] True.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:04:42] How did you get into that? And because like I said, hip, you have a you're not a political comic, but, you know, you're not afraid to to go there and speak your opinion. I think that's amazing how you you know, you're able to do that. What got you in that in that realm?
Ben Glieb: [00:04:55] Just, you know, not being able to avoid it is really what brought me there. I just care about the country and the world too much and I just get angry. And so I figure if I'm going to get angry, I may as well turn that into some content for people into something that can maybe inspire some people, make people laugh and think about the world a little bit. And I just ran for office specifically because I just was really concerned that we weren't going to beat Trump in the last election.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:05:20] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:05:21] I just didn't think anybody was taking the strategy seriously enough to beat him, because strategy is so important. And so I figured you couldn't beat him with traditional politics. You needed he's really a heckler and you needed it. You needed a comedian to beat a heckler. And so I threw my hat into the ring. And I don't know if you've been following the news. I did not. Win.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:05:40] Oh, no. What did you run for?
Ben Glieb: [00:05:40] I ran for President of the. No, no, no.
Jennifer Field: [00:05:44] Crazy.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:05:45] Oh, wow.
Ben Glieb: [00:05:46] But I ended up getting to advise the Biden campaign on their debate strategy.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:05:49] Oh, that's really cool.
Ben Glieb: [00:05:49] That was the big the debate was the big purpose of what I initially ran for was to try to make sure we won in the debate. And so.
Jennifer Field: [00:05:57] Wow.
Ben Glieb: [00:05:57] That at least helped.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:05:59] It's a paradigm Shift.
Ben Glieb: [00:06:00] Biden came out swinging in those last couple of debates against Trump.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:06:03] I didn't know that that's a really dope, but I know you consult it and it's a paradigm shift for you to say he's a heckler.
Ben Glieb: [00:06:08] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:06:08] As a comic, it's sort of like, yes, you know what I mean? And it's weird. I think even excuse me, even Elon said this and I'm reading this. I don't know why I'm reading this book. Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin, you know, the guy from Netflix. And it's a French book and it's it's translated in anyway, because one of the things Sherlock Holmes said is like, once you know what question to ask, then it's all easy, right? And for you saying, oh, he's a heckler. It's like fucking yes, he's a heckler. And we know how to deal with that. You know what I mean?
Ben Glieb: [00:06:40] 100%. It really put a frame in to understand the guy in and I ran, you know, on the theory that I knew as much. My podcast is political. I mean, I covered the news that happened during the week. News, politics, pop culture, stupid stories, all of it. Why called last week on Earth? What ever happen during the last week? And I'd been, you know, guest correspondent on CNN and I'm doing the Young Turks co-anchor now doing a video series for Rebel HQ for the Young Turks every week and three videos a week. You can check those out if you want. And so I felt like I knew my politics really well. But you don't really know until you know. And I started running and I had the theory that I would never be stumped.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:07:15] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:07:16] And. I was never stumped. I was never stumped. In the interview, Larry King interviewed me and ended up saying that we needed more Americans like me, which was very touching and insane. And I was only stumped actually twice in weird meetings in Iowa with district chiefs, but I covered it up pretty good. Generally speaking, I was not stumped and it just proved what I always thought. It's not that I know so much is that our politicians know so little.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:07:41] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:07:41] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:07:41] And there's nothing special about them. We think of it as so different. We think of politics is separate world and that's how they keep power and it's how they keep the common man hypnotized away from it and bored with everything else and just thinking, Oh, that's for different people. It's above my head. They just do it because they want to keep the power. They don't want you to think that it's accessible. And so the way I always looked at politics is like it's it's just a reality show. It's just the ultimate reality show. It's a reality show with consequences. It's the same sex dramas you get on the Kardashians that you get in Congress with all their scandals all the time. Only these reality stars have bombs and nuclear weapons and armies at their disposal. It's more interesting reality show, if you ask me.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:08:19] Absolutely. Absolutely. And I feel like, you know, I've met your folks maybe on occasion that kind of confidence to, like, go into something that you're not sure up and be like, I think I could do this. You know what I mean?
Ben Glieb: [00:08:29] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:08:29] It's which.
Ben Glieb: [00:08:30] My folks were not on Board.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:08:31] Would you say you were born with it or did they give you that that confidence even if they weren't on board.
Ben Glieb: [00:08:35] Confidence? Yes. I mean, they were very supportive Jewish parents. So they you know, every every Jewish mom tells the kid, you could be the president if you want. I just stupidly believe that that was my bad. But but when I actually decided to run, they were not on board. They got on board eventually, once they saw me getting some traction and raising some real money and being on the campaign trail and getting endorsements and things like that, they then got it. When I'm speaking at an event in Iowa on stage on the lineup with Biden and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and following them on stage and getting a standing ovation, they're like, okay, now we get what's happening here. It's not a joke, but when you have to convince your parents it's a joke, it's maybe not the right time for you
Dwayne Perkins: [00:09:16] I know we have to get to the thing, but I want to say one thing, like along the process. At what? Like what do you what do you think your chances of winning? And then do you ever think, what if I really do win? Because I almost feel like Trump didn't start it to Win and.
Ben Glieb: [00:09:29] He Didn't expect to win. He didn't think he could win.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:09:31] And then he won. He was like, Fuck, so did you do you ever think about that?
Ben Glieb: [00:09:34] Like, what video? When you see him win everybody around happy he's literally you see it look on his face. He's like, What the fuck did I just do? I did. I thought obviously it was an incredible long shot that I would win, but I felt like I couldn't live with myself. I didn't try, and the only path I really saw to winning was to have a moment that just blew the campaign up. And I figured my thought is that once I had a nationally big moment, that then people would hear my ideas and hear my common sense and hear my humor and hear the way that I can frame these things in a way that brings everybody together and gets rid of the bullshit that I had a chance to ascend to the top. So our big goal initially was to get in the debates because the threshold was pretty low for donations and we started too late and we didn't come close to it. And so then it was the second debate. We didn't get that either. So then it was the AFL-CIO speech in Iowa, where I spoke with all the major candidates and every bit of press is there from the world. And that's kind of our last big chance to make a splash. And I went up last because we signed up for that late because we entered the game late and knew about it late. And so everybody else was pulled in the lottery. But for me, they just threw me out at the end because the lottery was already pulled and I went up on stage and they also mistimed the whole thing. It's a whole drama. We shot a documentary about it, basically. They also just gave me like five or 7 minutes notice that I was going to be on stage like an hour before I was supposed to be. We're still rewriting the speech. It was nuts. And so we had a rundown. I had to delay going out there, but I got up on stage and all the cameras in the back just start turning off and the reporters start doing their stand up to camera and they're wrap arounds and shit. And I'm giving the speech to the unionized workers as the only union worker in the thing I'm in SAG Aftra it's under AFL-CIO signatory to. And literally all the cameras are like, forget it, we're done. And the workers, the people that are that they're there to cover are inspired by what I'm saying. And the news doesn't even cover. It doesn't show it. And the next day, the Des Moines Register, the paper that really is a kingmaker in Iowa politics. And as Iowa goes often, same with Wisconsin, so goes the nation. They did a front page story on the whole, on all the speeches the day before, and they cover extensively all the candidates. And one paragraph says, Candidates tout their ties to union. I'm like, Oh, here's where they're going to talk about mine. And it says, whatever. Michael Bennett talks about how his grandfather was in the union. And I was like, I'm in the union. The last paragraph just said, also speaking at the event was Ben Beto O'Rourke and Joe Sestak. That's the mention I get.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:12:06] Wow.
Ben Glieb: [00:12:06] And so they're just not even covering the real story. So that was pretty disconcerting. But luckily it all worked out. And I mean, it could have worked out a little better, but it.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:12:16] you would have had to like stop doing stand up for a while.
Ben Glieb: [00:12:19] Yeah, I already had that mostly stopped for that year. I did some dates in states that were like swing states that I could go campaign and also by the very few. And then the pandemic hits. I've been out of the game for like three years almost.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:12:30] Right. Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:12:30] But you're I got to say on your own podcast, you have to you all have to hear this about Dwayne. You played a big role in this election, too, man, because,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:12:36] Yeah,
Ben Glieb: [00:12:37] You were one of our writers on the Wisconsin event that helped flip the election as well, because Wisconsin barely went to Biden. And that's because Dwayne helped us raise $540,000.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:12:51] I didn't know that.
Ben Glieb: [00:12:51] That helped change the election. And Biden won by a thin margin and Wisconsin was the bellwether.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:12:57] Biden won?
Ben Glieb: [00:12:58] Biden won the election. I did not win. I ran and I did not win. Just to recap.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:13:03] I thought Trump won.
Ben Glieb: [00:13:04] Right? No one knows, really. They're still counting Trump still in his basement, counting tickets from an arcade, being Like, look, if you go buy these tickets, I'm the winner. Okay, clearly. And so that helped flip Wisconsin, which was a major and was one of the major states that pushed Biden over the edge. And then you also wroteon the telethon for America.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:13:23] Right? Right. To encourage people to get out there and vote.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:13:26] And then he went on the Mike Huckabee show. I don't know if you know that he went on.
Ben Glieb: [00:13:29] Really? He went on to do what? Now you're undoing all your goodwill. What did you do? Huckabee?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:13:34] I told Steve about it. I just said, Stand up.
Jennifer Field: [00:13:37] Now we're going to get into the conspiracy theory about whether Elon Musk is an alien or not. Right. What's what's the deal here? So here are some facts.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:13:48] Elon Musk has been asked a few times if he's an alien. These are some of his responses. Aliens exist in physics and philosophy. Aliens could be among us. Some people think I'm an alien, but it's not true. I think there's a wink wink nudge there. Another time he was asked if he was an alien and his answer was Of course.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:14:06] And then there was this interaction on Twitter from a guy named Kunal Saul Shaw. I don't know how to pronounce the name. Sorry. Elon Musk may end up running four plus $500 billion companies simultaneously at a relatively young age. What I really want to understand, how does he do it? How does he manage context switching? How does he design his org? So many questions. The next question he asks the Kunal guy, he says, answer if you see this dark lord. And then Elon Musk said He's an alien. So this is proof that he's an alien, basically. Right. Right. Yeah.
Jennifer Field: [00:14:36] Yes. See, so the Internet rumor, though, is that he's actually a reptilian lizard disguised as a human. And of course, reptilian is a type of alien. Right. And the reason he's trying to get to Mars is obviously because that's the home base of the reptilians.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:14:53] We all know that.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:14:54] Yes. But our favorite rationale was from a young rapper GDNL Choppa in NLE Chopper. In an interview over at XXL, he says, and I quote, And once I read this quote, you'll understand why I had to read this Quote,
Ben Glieb: [00:15:07] Hey, is everybody's favorite rapper. We're waiting for him to weigh in.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:15:10] Right. So I had to read this quote for the reasons, you know, it'll be become clear why I had to read. So he says, I quote, Bruh, if nigga could come to my face and say, Hey, man, let's move to Mars.
Ben Glieb: [00:15:20] Now I get it.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:15:21] Let's move to Mars. Let's move to Mars. His ass done been there his ass done lived there before chopper said. First off, they say it's hot as hell there so we ain't we ain't going to be thinking about going there. Motherfucker can't come Let's go to Mars The fuck you've been there before something or happened? Hell No, I don't really know how he. So this may not be a dead on thing. You're not going to put that shit in my brain and well in NLE chopper. Well, said.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:15:46] You knew who he was.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:15:47] No, I do. I just don't know what he sounds like. I know it. I know what it looks like.
Jennifer Field: [00:15:49] But isn't Mars cold? So why does he say I thought that was wrong?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:15:53] Is Mars cold? I don't know.
Jennifer Field: [00:15:54] I thought Venus was hot.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:15:56] I guess there's no way for us to ever figure that out.
Ben Glieb: [00:15:58] I thought men were from Mars. Am I getting this wrong? I don't know if it's hot or cold. I think it's hot.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:16:09] I thought it was hot too.
Ben Glieb: [00:16:11] I think it's swings. I think. I think. No, I really do. I think in like the wind, the winter months, it gets like crazy cold and the summer months it gets crazy hot. I think it swings.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:16:19] If only there was a way for us to check.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:16:23] I'm looking at it now. Yes, it's Average -81 degrees Fahrenheit. So I would say that's cold.
Ben Glieb: [00:16:31] Cold.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:16:31] That sounds cold to me.
Ben Glieb: [00:16:32] How hot does it get? If only there's a way to check.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:16:36] In the wintertime at the poles is plus 70 degrees. That's that's not bad. Like it's.
Ben Glieb: [00:16:41] Plus 70?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:16:42] 70 Fahrenheit at the poles in the winter.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:16:44] Wow,
Ben Glieb: [00:16:44] Shit that's legit.
Jennifer Field: [00:16:45] Yeah, that's like perfect weather,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:16:46] But It gets as cold as -220 degrees.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:16:49] Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:16:49] What's the hottest we get?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:16:51] 70.
Ben Glieb: [00:16:52] We know what's the hot?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:16:54] The hottest is 70 degrees.
Ben Glieb: [00:16:56] That's the hottest.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:16:56] Yeah. Yeah.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:16:57] Wow.
Jennifer Field: [00:16:57] Yeah. See, that's why when he said that, I was like, okay, he's got it wrong.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:17:00] So he doesn't know what he's talking about. Is that what you're trying to imply?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:17:03] Are you telling me Nle choppa doesn't know astronomy?
Jennifer Field: [00:17:08] Yeah, correct.
Ben Glieb: [00:17:09] Astronomy is not even the word for it.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:17:11] Yeah, yeah. Astrology is like I'm a Virgo, but astronomy is the heavens.
Jennifer Field: [00:17:16] Yeah, they have. Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:17:17] Yeah. But when you actually start flying into it, is it still astronomy or is it just like science now? I think astronomy is just like looking at the stars and like making.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:17:26] Could be.
Ben Glieb: [00:17:27] Making like looking at their projection. But I feel like when you're flying there, we're not in astronomy anymore. We're like, this is like a this is like a.
Jennifer Field: [00:17:33] Like space studies.
Ben Glieb: [00:17:34] This is a this is just a flight right now. Is we packing two bags and heading out of town? You know what I mean?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:17:42] Well, one of the things that really from that from that his comment from NLE's comment was that that Elon is trying to put chips in our brains, which I didn't realize was actually a conspiracy. We're not going to get into it here. But.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:17:52] Really trying to do that, though, it's not even a conspiracy. But it's to help it's apparently to help paraplegics.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:17:58] Yeah.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:17:58] Rewire their brains.
Ben Glieb: [00:17:59] To do what?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:18:00] Maybe they can walk again.
Ben Glieb: [00:18:01] To do what?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:18:01] Put chips in the brains of paraplegics to help them.
Ben Glieb: [00:18:04] He's trying to do that.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:18:04] Yeah. Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:18:05] Putting chips in people's brains.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:18:06] Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:18:07] Is he putting chips only in paraplegics brain.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:18:09] Well, that's. It's always thoughts like that.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:18:14] You don't have a chip in your brain right now?
Ben Glieb: [00:18:16] No. But I also just walked for the first time this morning in many decades. So something's working, sometimes working.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:18:27] That's funny.
Jennifer Field: [00:18:28] According to a Gizmodo article written by Alissa Walker, we're going to link this article, by the way, in our show notes. But here are some other reasons that people think that Elon Musk is an alien or reptilian space X is just a front to hide his space vehicles. And there's also his obsession with Mars. He wants to blow up Mars and or like live and die on Mars.
Ben Glieb: [00:18:51] Which is a weird combo. I feel like he ought to go one way or the other on that. They already want to blow it up with nuclear weapons riden in that fence is really trying to please both sides.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:19:01] But he wants to die there, too. That's what they say.
Jennifer Field: [00:19:03] So get to do them both. He blows himself up and that's how he dies.
Ben Glieb: [00:19:07] Listen, it's hard enough just to blow yourself, let alone blow yourself up. These are the kind of jokes that explain why I didn't win the presidency. I hope that explains some.
Jennifer Field: [00:19:19] Also, his ex-wife apparently called him a cyborg.
Ben Glieb: [00:19:22] And I feel like she probably didn't even have permission to share their role plays. She's just going rogue on that.
Jennifer Field: [00:19:30] He also keeps warning us about World War Three and the robot apocalypse.
Ben Glieb: [00:19:35] Well, I mean, that one. I don't think it's evidence. All of us see that coming. All of us see both of those coming.
Jennifer Field: [00:19:40] Yikes. And he doesn't really behave like a human, supposedly, right? Like he's awkward and eccentric and and that kind of thing.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:19:48] Yeah. He has a lot of personality issues. I mean, one of the stories I read from his childhood, he got thrown down stairs by other kids. And like, you know, like I remember when I was listening to this story, I kept thinking like, I'm supposed to feel sorry for him. But then I was actually thinking about the bully. I'm like, You have to be a special kind of person to be thrown downstairs like that. You probably I mean, not to blame the bully, not to blame the victim.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:20:11] I would I wouldn't normally say like on some level either. Either you were you antagonize people, maybe you had it coming. But this happened in South Africa when he was a kid. So I don't know. I just think I kept thinking, wow, they're beating up a white kid like this. God knows what they're doing to the black kids up the street. You know?
Ben Glieb: [00:20:31] Oh, my God. Well, that's a good point. That's a good point. Also, I don't know if you heard this part of it, but every time he got thrown down the stairs, he immediately got back up and just charged them with a cold look on his face and said, Have you seen Sarah Connor? So that was a Little bit of evidence, if you ask me. He also turned into a liquid puddle, then reform into Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:20:54] They should make a movie out of that.
Ben Glieb: [00:20:55] Yeah, they really should.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:20:57] Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:20:57] He does talk kind of alien. Like like he can barely mouth, barely forms, human shapes. He's got a million old. Cause it's like. I think he's, like, speaking in Morse code. It's like they can decode them. But I think he's saying words. I think we're decoding it into words.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:21:17] Yeah. And what other sources we found believe this one. Some people think he can see into the future, which I'm reading trends is not exactly seeing into the future. And some people think he's a time traveler. Time travel, one is a trip. Let's all look at this picture, which I'm sure we'll share. It's a picture of World War One pilot who people say resembles Elon Musk. Do you guys think they look alike?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:21:39] They actually I think they do look alike. That's just me, though. But but maybe when I see Caucasian faces, no offense to Caucasian people this room. They kind of look alike sometimes.
Ben Glieb: [00:21:47] Yeah, I was About to say this clearly was one of the two of you came up with this. One of the three of you come up with this, this one, it's like, oh, look at this picture of Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal. They look the same, right? That's different humans, you know,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:22:02] White people who live in China, they complain because the phones over there, the face recognition, doesn't notice their faces. Nah I'm just playing really.
Ben Glieb: [00:22:10] Everybody gets into all phones, right?
Jennifer Field: [00:22:12] Because that was a problem with iPhone recognition.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:22:15] For Asian people.
Ben Glieb: [00:22:16] Actually, it was.
Jennifer Field: [00:22:17] Yeah
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:22:17] Yeah. We all look alike. So that's okay. I mean, you meet one Asian, you may not meet us all. All right, so wait. So you don't you guys don't think that they look Alike?
Ben Glieb: [00:22:25] Not really. I mean, a little bit. They look alike. Yes. But like, you wouldn't even you wouldn't even believe they were like you wouldn't even be convinced they were brothers.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:22:31] They could be his grandson if you put in the the effects of the other DNA. But they don't they couldn't they're not a spitting image.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:22:38] I really I thought they looked alike.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:22:40] No.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:22:41] Maybe I would be a bad witness in a murder. It was him. He was Elon Musk.
Ben Glieb: [00:22:47] Describe him in detail for us. He was white. That's all I got.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:22:51] I mean, but but but with that said, this is the picture he used when he was 18 to go into bars and Drink. People are like what, you're 106. Oh, well.
Ben Glieb: [00:23:02] It worked, but they only served him Sarsaparilla. We've got a bottle of moonshine down the basement, if you're interested.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:23:10] Jennifer, do you think they look like.
Jennifer Field: [00:23:12] I think they kind of do, but it's hard to say in this picture comparison, because I always go by the nose because nose doesn't change much as I bartend. So that's how I can tell when girls and guys are trying to give me some other like ID. That's not them and their friend. It's the nose.
Ben Glieb: [00:23:28] What about nose jobs though? It's the one part can completely change their nose.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:23:32] Nose. And he had a nose job.
Jennifer Field: [00:23:33] He did. And girls do get nose jobs.
Ben Glieb: [00:23:36] Do girls at Bars having to like tell you about their nose job. I swear to God I got a nose job. Here's me before.
Jennifer Field: [00:23:41] They actually should say that. And then I would probably let them go. But they don't. They aren't clever enough to say that though, which means they're faking it.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:23:47] Yeah, well, it just means they don't want the people there with to know.
Ben Glieb: [00:23:50] Right.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:23:52] Right.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:23:53] Jennifer, you look at nose, I look at penises.
Jennifer Field: [00:23:55] Oh. Yeah. That don't change much either.
Ben Glieb: [00:23:58] Great way to ID people and also explains why your bar is very unpopular. No one gets in there real hard to get in and rather than go get a hotdog next door. Pun intended.
Jennifer Field: [00:24:12] Yeah. So, you know, I think there's a resemblance, but this is this is a stretch in it.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:24:17] Elaine got beat up one one of the times he got beat up. I read he got a deviated septum, so I think he had that fixed.
Ben Glieb: [00:24:23] Oh, interesting.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:24:24] Oh, so essence. And they may have made it look exactly the same. Or maybe they they fix it up a little bit.
Jennifer Field: [00:24:29] Yeah. They can. And while they're in there, while they're up.
Ben Glieb: [00:24:32] I fell on my head from high, high, high heights a handful of times as a child and I'm not an alien. So I feel like, yeah, I fell off the slide at the top of McDonalds Playland down 20 feet, right onto my head.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:24:43] Oh, my God.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:24:44] And were they balls? Did they have balls.
Ben Glieb: [00:24:45] The no, no balls down? There might have been rubber mat, but it still ain't good, right?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:24:49] Is that why you ran for president?
Ben Glieb: [00:24:50] That's right. That's why I believe I currently am president of the United States of America.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:24:55] And I'm Batman. You're Batman as Well.
Ben Glieb: [00:24:57] Obviously, I don't like to talk about it, but, you know, just do what you can for the city. All right?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:25:02] That's great.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:02] Gotham will be saved.
Jennifer Field: [00:25:05] I hope your mom sued McDonald's for that.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:07] We weren't a litigious family. It's a shame. It's a Shame.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:25:10] That's un-American.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:11] I know. Yeah, I know. It's very that's very un-American to me. It's uncool of me. And my bank account explains that I'm getting paid 50 grand to be on this Podcast, right?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:25:22] Yeah. Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:23] That was the agreement.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:25:23] Yeah, well, we're not paying you, but we have a cup of hot McDonald's coffee.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:28] That's fine.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:25:28] You can spill it on yourself.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:30] Oh, that's good. Grace.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:25:31] Your crotch.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:32] Warning coffee is Hot. That's on our cup of coffee. That's where we are as a country. Warning this coffee is hot. Oh, you dumb fuck.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:25:41] Where we are as a country. I have a joke about it, but I'll give you the short version. I've been getting really cold butter when I go to get, like, my bagels. I mean, like ice cold butter.
Jennifer Field: [00:25:50] That's so annoying.
Ben Glieb: [00:25:51] That's what I want.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:25:52] But, I mean, I can't. It can't. Even the toast can't can even melt it. So I've been heating up my butter in the bathroom using the hand dryer. So this is.
Ben Glieb: [00:26:01] Thank god you said hand dryer
Dwayne Perkins: [00:26:02] Yeah. Yeah, this is where we're at now like.
Ben Glieb: [00:26:03] I've been sitting on the butter.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:26:05] No, no. No. I go like I order a bagel. They give me the little butter thing. I immediately go to the bathroom and I stand at it, put it in the air dryer for like 30 seconds to.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:26:16] why don't you ask them to warm it up. They have a Microwave.
Ben Glieb: [00:26:17] Or I was holding it For 5 seconds.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:26:19] Yeah, they won't do that.
Ben Glieb: [00:26:20] You just close your hand around it for 5 seconds.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:26:24] It's freezing. It is freezing.
Ben Glieb: [00:26:26] I like the cold butter. I don't like a melted butter.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:26:28] Well, if the bagel is hot, but they don't even heat the bagels up. They barely hit the bagel up.
Ben Glieb: [00:26:33] Yeah, I do hate that. You can't put a butter in a microwave even for 2 seconds. It comes out liquid. There's no amount of time you can slightly soften.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:26:40] In this joke, which I'll do a little bit, but hopefully I'll do it. You'll see it the longer version. But I say when you get a bagel, it's light. It's so not toasted these days. It's it's like it's a light skinned bagel. It's Vanessa Williams, right?
Ben Glieb: [00:26:55] I did like that. Bagels, penthouse spread.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:26:58] You're looking at. You're like, is it? And the only people that know this bagel, you don't even know it's toasted. The only people that know it's toasted are people that grew up with it. Like this bagel could move to another city and pass as an un toasted bagel. That's how, but never ask them to heat the bagel up again. If you go, oh you know what? Can you just give it this?
Ben Glieb: [00:27:16] Is that out Of out of where.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:27:17] Starbucks
Dwayne Perkins: [00:27:18] Usually Starbucks anyplace. Yeah. Can you run it through again? Because then if they if you give it back and they run it through again, you get Shaka Zulu, you get a Wesley Snipes bagel, and can I just get the Halle Berry? And that's all I.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:27:31] That's funny.
Ben Glieb: [00:27:32] That bagel is so much Vanessa Williams. When you cut it, it goes. Sometimes the sun goes down a moon.
Jennifer Field: [00:27:42] Oh, my gosh. All right. So okay. Elon was asked about this time traveler theory on Twitter. Why were you in Canada in 1914 and why was your name Raymond Cowlishaw and why was your occupation ace fighter pilot? And this was Elon's answer, actually. Full disclosure, I'm actually a 3000 year old vampire. It's such a trial, assuming all these false identities over the centuries, I assume he was joking. But what if he's not?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:28:11] Exactly. What if he's not? So that's why we think this month's question has to be changed. It's now, is Elon a reptilian alien trying to go home to Mars or is he a vampire? That's a big question.
Jennifer Field: [00:28:23] Whoa,
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:28:23] Whoa. All right.
Jennifer Field: [00:28:25] We're going to turn in a big, big left turn here.
Ben Glieb: [00:28:29] I like that there's not even an option that he's both a vampire And an alien. That came here a long time, became undead.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:28:36] Or that he's neither of those things. That's.
Jennifer Field: [00:28:38] Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:28:38] Let's try to keep it realistic here. Obviously he's one of those things, but I'd like to suggest it's both of those things. I think an alien came here a long time ago. He's very frustrated with humankind and he realized to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish, try to save humanity is going to take a very long time. And he needed he needed to be able to live forever. So he kind of got down with the Transylvania folks and got to got in with the undead and got one of them to bite him.
Jennifer Field: [00:29:04] That's a good theory.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:29:05] So he he vampire And he's an alien and then he let a vampire bite.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:10] That's correct. Now he's a vampire alien.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:29:11] Nice. How do you think he did that? Did he just like was he a neck tease that he just what I mean.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:16] Yeah, he was polish his neck.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:29:19] Say that again,
Ben Glieb: [00:29:20] Polish his right. Right. Sometimes he would take a pat of butter.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:29:23] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:23] And just rub it on there until it started to melt slowly.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:29:26] You have to put it under the heater thing.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:28] That's correct.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:29:28] You can't just do it.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:29] That's correct. He turned into a Vampire while being neck sucked in a bathroom at a Starbucks in Barstow on the way to Vegas. With a Buttery neck and a bunch of dreams.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:29:40] See I ike this. But then, like, does he have to report back to the home planet? Did he lose contact with them? Are they.\ Like.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:45] He's not telling them about That
Dwayne Perkins: [00:29:45] Or are they like don't become undead and he's like too late?
Ben Glieb: [00:29:48] No, they wouldn't approve. I don't think they would Approve of of an alien.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:52] A mixing with vampires. They want it to be a quick experiment here on Earth. Kind of like Jesus did it, you know. So.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:29:57] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:29:57] So he's not telling him. He's just saying, I don't understand what's happening. But I keep living. I'm living a very long time. They're like, Are you a vampire dog? He's like, No, no. I never spread. Butter in my bathroom. I never even been to bars.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:30:09] He's saying basically because he's he's lying. He's saying when we take human form, we become undead. And I like to think his home country, that they're running studies and doing all of this based on this faulty data because he's not telling them what really happened.
Ben Glieb: [00:30:23] Yeah, listen, that's that's what you got to do to survive out here is as a vampirelian.
Jennifer Field: [00:30:31] Wow. And you just coined that phrase, Vampalian.
Ben Glieb: [00:30:33] You're damn right.
Jennifer Field: [00:30:34] Damn.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:30:36] Dwayne, what's your theory?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:30:37] Well, you know, I was torn. I'm going to go with he's an alien, but I'm not sure if he was born an alien. You See what I mean because his mom did give birth to him. And I've seen some pictures of him when he was younger, allegedly.
Ben Glieb: [00:30:51] You saw birth pictures?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:30:52] No, no. Just.
Ben Glieb: [00:30:53] How close are you with Elon Musk's mom?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:30:58] So I think I'm torn between these two things. So either an alien impregnated his mom, much like the Virgin Mary against her knowledge or will, or when he was born an alien. Another took another form and sort of came into his body and took over his body. Right. So let's go with the first one. So so his mom was, you know, wanting to have another baby or whatever. And so she didn't realize she was carrying this alien thing. And so he was born. And because he was an alien, that's why he didn't pick up the cues. He had Asperger's, but it was really just.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:31:33] Alien.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:31:33] Alien, right. And so he didn't, he didn't he was like, these humans are so weird. They but I don't even think he knew he was an alien. So he just. He's half alien and he didn't know it.
Ben Glieb: [00:31:43] Yeah. A lot of people don't really meet their father until later in life.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:31:46] Right, right, right.
Ben Glieb: [00:31:46] And also listen as to as to a lot of people say that he has Asperger's. That's the condition that a lot of people live with. And being on the spectrum, there's no judgment there. Asperger's is fine. Terrible name, though, for a burger place.
Jennifer Field: [00:32:01] Asperger's,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:02] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:32:03] Really? Really not appealing.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:06] Not at all.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:32:06] Unless You're into it. I mean, everyone's into different things.
Ben Glieb: [00:32:08] Also a good point.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:32:09] You can't judge people. Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:32:10] Good point. Yeah, that's a good point. It's weird how the word ass really does go both ways.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:14] That's true.
Ben Glieb: [00:32:15] It's like there's times when it's fantastic and times when it's horrible. It's just context.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:19] Some people might be into it, but it's still not a place to go after you win a Little League game.
Ben Glieb: [00:32:23] That's correct
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:23] You know what I mean?
Ben Glieb: [00:32:24] You definitely don't want to heat your butter in that bathroom.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:32] So yeah, I think his mom, I think he didn't know. And I think sometime around in the last 15 or 20 years he found out.
Jennifer Field: [00:32:38] Okay.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:38] And so then he went into hyper mode and he's like, I got to get to Mars, I got to do all this other stuff. But before that, he was just a weird dude, didn't know why he didn't quite, didn't fit in. And, and somehow it came to his attention and he's part alien and that's why he's being coy and being jokey and you know what I mean? And now his ultimate plan is to destroy everybody, the aliens and us.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:32:58] Wow.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:32:59] Because.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:32:59] He hates himself. It's like Hitler.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:33:00] He's been forsaken by everyone.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:33:02] Yes,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:33:02] Yes.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:33:02] Yeah.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:33:03] Okay.
Ben Glieb: [00:33:03] Look, and I think I think a lot of people think that he's a martian, he's from Mars. But no, it doesn't make any sense. He wouldn't want to use nukes on Mars, his home planet, his whole look at what he says. He says he wants to he wants humans to colonize Mars to become the first interplanetary species. And then he wants to blow up Mars. Also, he wants humans to be blown up. He clearly comes from a competing planet, so who knows what his real situation is. But if men are from Mars, women are from Venus, maybe he's a female vampire alien from Venus.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:33:35] Okay.
Ben Glieb: [00:33:36] And he's just trying to sabotage Mars. So female aliens finally dominate the vampire race here on Earth. And they can live.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:33:43] Wow.
Ben Glieb: [00:33:43] They can live far beyond the apocalypse, which he predicts is coming because obviously vampires live forever. Nothing kills them will be just vampires and cockroaches running around.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:33:52] I'm not mad at that. And and also because sometimes drug dealers who never snitch will snitch on another drug dealer because it's like the cops are doing the work for you. So you snitch on a rival gang.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:34:05] Where do you hear this from?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:34:08] I watch Narcos.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:34:10] No. Listen, as a drug dealer, I'm I'm not saying like, you know, you're selling, like, on the street, you know.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:34:16] Oh, I thought you meant, like, street dealers.
Jennifer Field: [00:34:18] No, like kingpins.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:34:20] Yeah. Like you will sometimes help bring down another king. Like Whitey Ford, right? Like Whitey Ford.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:34:25] Yankees pitcher.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:34:26] No, no,
Ben Glieb: [00:34:26] Whitey Bulger.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:34:27] Excuse me. Whitey Bulger. Whitey,
Ben Glieb: [00:34:30] All of us Whitey's are the same in Dwayne's eyes. We get it. I get it.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:34:35] I was like Yankee, the Yankee pitcher,
Ben Glieb: [00:34:37] As you can See here, a picture of Whitey Ford and Whitey Bulger. We'll put it in the show notes. Whitey Ford. Whitey Bulger, are they the same? Looks unmistakable to me. I'm Dwayne Perkins and I don't see color.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:34:51] Whitey Bulger is What I meant to say. He got caught in Santa monica.
Ben Glieb: [00:34:54] By the way is what I refer to my my erections as,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:34:57] Oh boy. I was going to say. Right. Yeah. Whitey Whitey Bulger,
Ben Glieb: [00:35:02] Have you seen my Whitey Bulger?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:35:04] oh, boy. Oh, man. I couldn't call mine that. But anyway, so.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:35:11] You could.
Ben Glieb: [00:35:12] I don't know if you got a vitiligo situation going on Michael Jackson style.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:35:16] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:35:16] If I did have vitiligo, if that's how you say it, that would be a good way to break it to someone.
Ben Glieb: [00:35:20] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:35:21] You know what I mean.
Ben Glieb: [00:35:21] My penis is white. Do you think it matches? Just take a look.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:35:26] Take a look at my Whitey Bulger. So when he was in Boston, you know, he was that's that that movie. The one movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:35:35] Star Wars
Dwayne Perkins: [00:35:36] No, Leonardo. It's based on his story.
Ben Glieb: [00:35:38] Titanic.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:35:39] Romeo and Juliet.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:35:42] He was no no fried green tomatoes. Actually, he was snitching on rival gangs and feeding the government just enough information while getting protection because he was doing that. So that's what Elon Musk is doing, like, hey, take out Mars. I got beef with them.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:35:58] Yeah. And that was a really long story.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:36:00] To get back to that. Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:36:03] I also think here's the other part of my theory, if I can add to it, is that Elon Musk didn't always want to destroy Earth, didn't always want doom for humanity. He's been here a long time. He had hope for us. His last effort was hoping that we would embrace green technology and electric cars and save the planet from extinction. From human extinction. And when we said we'd still rather hear the vroom, vroom of our engines, he's like, Fuck it, let's blow everything up.
Jennifer Field: [00:36:28] Yeah, I like that.
Ben Glieb: [00:36:29] And buy Twitter, let's let Trump back on and let's just do whatever we can to create chaos on Earth. Let's send them to Mars, blow them up there.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:36:36] I love that.
Ben Glieb: [00:36:36] I've given up.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:36:37] I love that.
Ben Glieb: [00:36:37] He gave us a shot.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:36:38] You know what I love about that? That's literally how I feel.
Ben Glieb: [00:36:40] It's a classic supervillain story.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:36:41] That's literally how I feel like I want us to make it as a people. But if we don't, I want to be here to see it when it all goes down.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:36:48] Yeah. It's a very Carlin-esque opinion.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:36:51] So my my theory is that he's neither an alien or a vampire. He's actually a zombie.
Jennifer Field: [00:36:57] Okay.
Ben Glieb: [00:36:57] Why do you say that?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:36:58] Just a feeling.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:36:59] Koji loves zombies.
Jennifer Field: [00:37:00] So he died? Right?
[00:37:03] So, like, all the alien stuff and all the vampire stuff, he's just. He's a self-hating person and he wants to be cooler, right? He wants to always be like. Like he saw Twilight and he thinks that these guys sparkle and stuff. So he wants to be a vampire. And for for the aliens, he thinks, you know, people are either afraid or they love aliens, one or the other. But nobody loves zombies like other than me. But he but he's lived forever. That guy in that picture. I know you guys don't think that they look alike, but to me, they're like frigging identical twins.
Ben Glieb: [00:37:31] And he doesn't sleep much.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:37:32] Yeah, he doesn't sleep much.
Ben Glieb: [00:37:33] That's a zombie trait. Here's. Here's a question that I that I wonder maybe we need to ask the female here in the room her opinion on this. Do you think he's good in bed? Can you picture him? I can't picture it personally.
Jennifer Field: [00:37:44] Great question.
Ben Glieb: [00:37:44] Because he gets a lot of very attractive famous women to be his girlfriend, but he seems like he could.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:37:49] Can I just Interject? I know you're going to say I know what you're going to say. Koji, I think, can interject. On the past episode, Jennifer told us she's been on a date with two different billionaires.
Ben Glieb: [00:37:59] Whoa.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:37:59] Who are awkward, too, so. I mean it could have been Elon.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:00] Really? So Mark Cuban and Mark Cuban And who else?
Jennifer Field: [00:38:05] Oh, no, not Mark. Not Mark.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:07] What billionaires are we talking? We're talking about the dollar shave guy. Who are we talking about?
Jennifer Field: [00:38:10] I know. I don't want to name him. I feel bad because I was. I was making fun of him.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:14] Okay.
Jennifer Field: [00:38:15] Yeah, but I still got one on my jocks, still texting me.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:19] Then you know? So then what's your thought? Do you think Elon's got skills in the bedroom if you had to picture it or not?
Jennifer Field: [00:38:24] Those from that experience, those two billionaires. No, they are. Their game is bad.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:29] That's what I would think.
Jennifer Field: [00:38:30] Very bad.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:30] Just seems too awkward there to remove from the. They haven't had to work at it.
Jennifer Field: [00:38:34] But he I know is a little bit I heard he's like a little bit of a party animal, so he's a little bit of a wild one. So maybe he's gotten he's brushed up on his social skills a little bit because he was rolling with cool.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:38:45] I don't know if You have $1,000,000,000, you're good in bed. I'm just saying.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:50] I mean, the woman might still come. I know. If you're good and bad.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:38:54] She'll always come.
Ben Glieb: [00:38:56] I'm just trying to make your zombie theory work. I'm figuring if he is good and bed, then maybe he's very intentionally doing that so he could fuck their brains out and. And then eat those brains.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:39:08] Eat those brains?
Ben Glieb: [00:39:09] correct?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:39:09] Yes. Yes.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:39:11] That's a good one. That sounds way better than my theory now.
Ben Glieb: [00:39:13] Or like the old Joke for my from my first speical where I said I met a girl. She was so hot and so dumb. I wanted to fuck her brains in.
Jennifer Field: [00:39:25] That's good.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:39:28] All right, Jennifer, what's your theory?
Jennifer Field: [00:39:29] Okay. So my theory is because I have this idea that anybody who's uber successful, like him, like Jay-Z, like Jamie Foxx, we've talked about the potential Illuminati members in Elite. Right? So I had heard once that there are real vampires. Right. And there and these vampires, though, they're not like blood-sucking, like biting on the neck and stuff, but they they just need a little drop of blood. They just need to, like, poke their finger or someone else's finger and suck on it. And I just. They just need a little bit of blood. Like, I don't know, every week, every day or something. And that it's a real thing. And so I have this theory that people that are like Elon Musk and that are up there with the elites and have like look sort of eternally youthful. They're like they've got some kind of fountain of youth access. So whether it's human growth hormone or it's blood. So therefore he's a kind of a vampire because he's he he drinks blood.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:40:25] That's all it takes. That's all it takes to be a billionaire. And.
Jennifer Field: [00:40:30] I don't know.
Ben Glieb: [00:40:31] It doesn't make the billionaire, but this makes the vampire.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:40:33] Oh,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:40:33] He's had a he's not a vampire who turns into a bat. He's just a modern day vampire.
Jennifer Field: [00:40:37] A modern day vampire.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:40:38] The latter day a latter day vampire.
Jennifer Field: [00:40:41] Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:40:42] Look. Look, I Know a little bit about this because the only other famous Gleib out there is Hermann Gleib, the vampire bat. You can look it up on your show notes, but that you show notes the vampire bat on the other. But so I know that. And I'll tell you this much, too, you're basically saying that some of our modern-day vampires is like Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.
Jennifer Field: [00:41:01] Yeah,
Ben Glieb: [00:41:03] They drink each other's blood all the time.
Jennifer Field: [00:41:03] They do. They do. Don't they? Watch. Watch. They're going to be very well preserved and they're going to look good for that time.
Ben Glieb: [00:41:09] I bet they already.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:10] Megan Fox is well preserved.
Jennifer Field: [00:41:11] Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. I believe like.
Ben Glieb: [00:41:15] Machine Gun Kelly, I don't know how true that is, but he survived a lot of tattoos. I mean, he's covered.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:18] You want to look young and it's like, oh, should I moisturize or drink blood? It's just. Just moisturizer just stay out of the sun. Eat veggies.
Jennifer Field: [00:41:26] I know.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:26] Hydrate,
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:41:27] I'll drink blood.
Ben Glieb: [00:41:27] Yeah, but it's more expensive to moisturize. Most Kiehl's lotions are very price.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:31] True. That's true.
Ben Glieb: [00:41:32] Pretty pricey to get.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:33] Just sneak into an equinox. They have Kiehl's in the bathroom, too.
Jennifer Field: [00:41:36] They do?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:36] Yeah.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:37] I went there once to the equinox.
Ben Glieb: [00:41:39] Sneak into the equinox. Well, if part one of your plan to get free lotion is commit a crime, why don't you steal the Kiehl's directly? Not after. Just get a couple of squeezes, break the law by breaking into a gym, not even working out there and steal a little couple squirts.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:53] No you can work out there too. You can.
Ben Glieb: [00:41:55] But how about just steal some Kiehl's. From the Kiehl's store at the mall?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:41:58] That's true. You can do that as well.
Ben Glieb: [00:41:59] You're already committing a crime. Let's commit the right crime. That's what I've always believed. That's my campaign as president of The United States of America. Let's commit smarter crimes Ladies and gentlemen. In case that clip is taken out of context. That's a joke, right?
Jennifer Field: [00:42:14] Yeah. So, okay, we're at the point in the show where we need to pick the unofficial official story, one that will, for once and for all, answer this question. So what do you guys think? Which theory do we want to roll with?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:42:26] It's tough. I would say I do like mine, but I but I really like yours, Ben. I like I like.
Ben Glieb: [00:42:32] Thank You.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:42:32] I like Gliebs. I like that he's both I like I guess the only question I have is like, why did he decide to be such a public figure? But I guess once you've been on the planet long enough, why not?
Ben Glieb: [00:42:40] He's done everything Else.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:42:41] Right, right, right.
Ben Glieb: [00:42:42] His egos out of control. He's got he's done it.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:42:44] I mean He's been an Air Force pilot before, so.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:42:46] That's true, right? No, I like I like Ben's.
Ben Glieb: [00:42:49] He's been around the world and I can't find. My baby. I mean, he's he's trying his best. He's saw me do stand up once, by the way.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:42:56] Is that right?
Ben Glieb: [00:42:57] Yeah, I did stand up for Elon, and he didn't walk out as I was. And then there was a much more famous comedian that performed right after me, and he walked out for 3 minutes.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:43:05] Oh, is that right?
Ben Glieb: [00:43:06] I'll tell you. Off air. Who it was
Dwayne Perkins: [00:43:08] I want to know. You know, the two, I guess most interesting people. Eddie Murphy was in the crowd once, but that's not even compared two other people.
Ben Glieb: [00:43:16] That's pretty good as far as comedy.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:43:17] Bee Author was in the crowd once in the Valley and Monica Lewinsky was in the crowd once because I walked into this club and he was like, Hey, no Lewinsky jokes. And I was like, Oh, she was in the crowd.
Ben Glieb: [00:43:27] And she did the telethon that you wrote on.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:43:29] Oh, right, right.
Ben Glieb: [00:43:29] She was on the telethon. She follows me on Twitter now.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:43:31] Yeah, yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:43:32] She tweeted me a couple of times. That was pretty cool.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:43:34] And she's she's preserved pretty well. She's I think maybe I think I think she's she was cute, but now she's like an attractive woman. So, like it went it went the right direction for her. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:43:46] Jennifer, which one did you like best?
Jennifer Field: [00:43:48] I think I like Ben's as well, because I think I like this coining of the term vamp alien. And it just makes sense to me that he's. Both because, I mean,
Ben Glieb: [00:43:58] Look, he runs multiple companies. He likes to multitask.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:44:01] Yeah.
Jennifer Field: [00:44:01] There you go. That's the thing. Yeah, exactly.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:44:03] And I'm with you guys. I think it's Ben. I love I love his theory of the best. What about you, Ben? What which theory do you like?
Ben Glieb: [00:44:09] I don't believe in mine at all. No, I believe in mine. I believe mine is the only thing that makes sense. That explains all the parts of the puzzle.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:44:16] Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:44:16] He's a non Mars based alien vampire that's here to destroy humanity while sucking all the blood out of the planet.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:44:23] Perfect explains everything. It all makes sense.
Ben Glieb: [00:44:26] It does finally make sense.
Jennifer Field: [00:44:27] It does.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:44:28] Yes, we can put this one to bed.
Ben Glieb: [00:44:29] And that's why he's my Running mate for the 2024 election interplanetary Presidency.
Jennifer Field: [00:44:36] Oh, I will vote for that. Yes. Elon Musk, I hope he listens to this episode.
Ben Glieb: [00:44:41] I'll make sure and give him your number. So you have three billionaires on your jock?
Jennifer Field: [00:44:44] Yeah, actually, yeah. Hook it up. Hook it up. No, he's he's in a relationship. But I've always I actually always thought like he'd be kind of fun to date because I think.
Ben Glieb: [00:44:52] You really think that?
Jennifer Field: [00:44:53] Oh, yeah. Because he got like he's got a little wild streak and that's what I like And.
Ben Glieb: [00:44:56] But you also said you didn't think he'd be good in bed. So what is the just the wildness you want? Well, I think partying with.
Jennifer Field: [00:45:00] I Just know, like my experience from the playing field is that yeah. When they're like that they aren't as good as bed in bed. But he has that like sort of he's a little more hip. So I feel like maybe he's learned along the way, so I'm hoping for better. Yeah,
Ben Glieb: [00:45:16] Hopefully he's listening.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:45:18] And just for the record, I decided to get good in bed first, then get my billion. So just that's my strategy. So when I'm A billionaire, I wouldn't have to learn.
Ben Glieb: [00:45:29] So I decided to do neither. But talk a game like I have both.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:45:34] Right?
Ben Glieb: [00:45:35] Oops.
Jennifer Field: [00:45:37] Once you put if you manifest and you say it, it can, you know, it becomes what you think becomes truth.
Ben Glieb: [00:45:43] So that's a great thing. You can tell yourself to get through the day's the long, cold says, right?
Jennifer Field: [00:45:50] Yeah,
Ben Glieb: [00:45:50] Right.
Jennifer Field: [00:45:51] That is the official story, right?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:45:54] Yes,
Jennifer Field: [00:45:54] Okay. We're going to take another break. And when we come back, we're going to play a game. Now that we're experts on spotting aliens. I'll go through a list of names and you tell me if they are human or alien. I'll start. Mark Zuck. Zuckerberg Yeah, I definitely think he's alien. Reptilian. Yeah, yeah. He just looks too much like like one.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:46:15] I'd have to say alien. Yeah. Based on, based on the same thing with Elon Musk. Like, he's just.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:46:20] Awkward.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:46:20] Yeah. It just doesn't seem like he's human.
Ben Glieb: [00:46:23] He's. He's not only an alien, he's annoying even to all alien.
Jennifer Field: [00:46:28] Yeah.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:46:29] How about former President Donald Trump? Alien or human?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:46:32] I think human. Only because I think his level of pettiness, I think he's you know what I mean? He's petty like a human being is.
Jennifer Field: [00:46:40] Agreed.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:46:41] Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:46:43] True. And just based on the standard of intelligent life forms. Definitely human.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:46:48] Yeah.
Jennifer Field: [00:46:49] I second That.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:46:50] I agree human.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:46:51] This one is interesting. Let's go with Oprah. Okay,
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:46:53] Oprah.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:46:54] And I'll go first. Let me tell you something. A young Oprah. I would have bust down a young Oprah. Let's just be clear.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:47:02] Bust down is, is that a term.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:47:04] Yeah. I mean, it could mean just talk to you, but it could mean other things, too.
Ben Glieb: [00:47:07] It doesn't mean talk to me.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:47:10] Okay. I like that he tried to convince me of that.
Ben Glieb: [00:47:14] Dwayne over at his bust down the back room. Are they chatting? No one's ever meant that.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:47:23] It doesn't. It doesn't normally mean talking. But, yeah, I would. But with that said, I. I got to, you know, being that she's such a powerful black woman. I hate to, you know, but I got to lean toward Alien. Only because. Only because I don't know. It's just something about her ascension, her, like, how great she is. I think she's one of these people that can probably read a book in a day, you know what I mean? And not that you can't do that as human being, but.
Ben Glieb: [00:47:50] Just why would you want to?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:47:53] Reading.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:47:53] I mean, you can read a book in a day like Dr. Seuss, for instance, but she reads actual books in the day. I'm leaning toward alien.
Ben Glieb: [00:48:00] I can take two days so I can absorb it all.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:48:01] Right, exactly. But but but with that said, she's. She's a kind alien who wants the best for us, but nonetheless, an alien.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:48:10] Alright Ben
Ben Glieb: [00:48:11] I feel like you're falling. Falling for Oprah's PR hook line. You know, Scott Richardson, Scott and I and my old writing partner and I had the premise that Oprah is a white businessman.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:48:21] That's hilarious.
Ben Glieb: [00:48:23] In disguise as the perfect black woman that everybody could get behind. But it's all an enterprise to sell magazines.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:48:30] Is that Scott? We play basketball.
Ben Glieb: [00:48:31] Yeah.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:48:31] Yeah, exactly. That's hilarious.
Ben Glieb: [00:48:33] And so I think she might be a white businessman, but if not, I would say alien. She's. She's too perfect.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:48:39] Yeah, I'm saying Alien too.
Jennifer Field: [00:48:41] I was leaning towards human because I'm suckered in. I think she just seems like so full of empathy. And I've listened to her like her podcast and little snippets I hear of her and I've just always admired her.
Ben Glieb: [00:48:52] Yeah, but her fluctuating weight. You're not taking this into account. It's probably because she's very nice and empathetic. And then once every six months, she has to fulfill her mission here and she eats another person.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:49:02] Right. And you know when she betrays herself, when the alien comes out like it's all human, it's all good. But every now and then it comes out.
Ben Glieb: [00:49:11] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:49:11] That's when you go. You get a car. You get a car.
Ben Glieb: [00:49:14] Yeah.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:49:15] That's like, oh, the alien is coming out a little bit right there.
Ben Glieb: [00:49:17] I ate another Secretary. You know what's Happening?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:49:24] Ben, do you want to pick one of the people?
Ben Glieb: [00:49:26] Absolutely. Absolutely.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:49:28] Or or anybody else to off the list as well.
Ben Glieb: [00:49:30] I would like to pick Will Smith. Human or alien? Do I have to answer first?
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:49:35] You can answer first, yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:49:36] Will Smith is a human. Will Smith is a human because you'd think alien because of the huge ears. But he can't control himself. His impulse. He's got everything you'd ever, ever want. You'd think that would satisfy an alien mission. Still loses it on a basic insult. Now, maybe that's alien programming. Maybe he's more of a robot than anything. But he's a human. He's not an alien.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:49:59] So why is all the humans imperfect and all the aliens perfect?
Ben Glieb: [00:50:03] Because.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:04] Because if.
Ben Glieb: [00:50:05] We hope.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:07] Because if you're an alien and you come here and you assume human form, you're at least technologically more advanced than we are. So we would think you matter some of the things. This is a tough one. I say alien only because of how he first rapped. It was good rap, but it was like it was it was there was something sort of like mechanical about it, right? It's kind of like.
Ben Glieb: [00:50:27] And soft as can be.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:28] Yeah. Yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:50:29] They were good Rhymes, but softest rap ever.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:32] It was like.
Ben Glieb: [00:50:33] He made 50 cent seem like Tupac.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:37] Basically the alien programming took into account all rap and then said,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:41] Yeah,
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:41] This is what you can say and this is what you can't see.
Ben Glieb: [00:50:43] Yeah.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:43] And he just perfectly straddled that line.
Ben Glieb: [00:50:46] It's like it's like he only listened to, to the 50% of Tupac songs that were about his mom.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:50:50] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:50:52] Tupac hard, hard rapper. And then half his songs. Momma, I love you so much, Mama. I'm going to be over two take you out to lunch. That's not that hard to be rapping by your mom All the time.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:51:02] Right. And he's from Philly, right? So you would think.
Ben Glieb: [00:51:05] West Philadelphia.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:51:06] All the other rappers from Philly, they rap a little bit harder. And then he's like, even for that, for his television show, Born and Raised on the playground, where I spent most of my days. Like, that's that's alien. That's alien.
Ben Glieb: [00:51:19] Like, I like humans. I spend my days On the playground. Like human children throwing round ball into hoop. I became the fresh humanoid of Bel-Air. Here's my brother Carlton. He looks human. Dance for us, Carlton.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:51:38] Jennifer do you think Will Smith. Alien or not.
Ben Glieb: [00:51:40] I'm changing my vote. Alien you convinced me.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:51:42] Oh, nice, nice.
Jennifer Field: [00:51:43] Okay. I was thinking human, but he wants to transcend to become an alien. And so he thinks he's going to, like, supersede. And that's why he was studying at the Church of Scientology, because. That's right. Those people are aliens. Right. And he just, like, was trying to hide that he donates money or studies there or whatever. So he's trying to become an alien.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:52:00] But see, either he's trying to become an alien, but that's also an argument for alien because maybe he's lost contact with the whole planet. Then he hears about these Scientologists and then, like, once he once he gets wind, like. Like the fast.
Ben Glieb: [00:52:12] That's the boat Home
Dwayne Perkins: [00:52:13] like the fifth stage is like alien home, you know, no phone home. Right. So. So he joins up with them to see if they can get him home. And I think the slap is like I think what you said, it's like it's over the top. Human programming, just like on the playground. That's where I spend most of my days. So then the alien goes, do something human. Smack. Keep my name's wife out of my wife's name out your fucking mouth.
Ben Glieb: [00:52:37] Insut was made towards your wife? Mildest insult possible. I mean, what was that insult? He called her one Of the baddest ass female characters in film history. Right. They're going to be G.I.. Jane, the cool, badass action hero. How dare you speak about My wife and call her an action hero?
Jennifer Field: [00:52:54] Right, right, right.
Ben Glieb: [00:52:55] Weird.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:52:56] Yeah. Over the top. So.
Ben Glieb: [00:52:58] Weird. True. True.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:52:59] So, I don't know. It's. And I don't know why the alien would have in him would have done that. But I think just, you know, you don't get it right when you're an alien.
Ben Glieb: [00:53:07] And you know Why DJ Jazzy Jeff and him split up? He's threatened to expose them. He had to cut it off.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:53:13] You know, it's kind of like if you if you speak another language as an adult and you can be you know, you can be fluent. But every now and then, you're going to just the hard wiring, you're going to say something that doesn't make sense. Yeah. Like if you learn English and you speak well, every now and then you're going to just say something and why don't you take your daughter to the to the lake? What? You know, just because Most of the things you just you know, and I think that's what happened that night. I think he just overdid it. The alien in him.
Ben Glieb: [00:53:39] I just don't know why after he slapped Rock, why he didn't pull out that little black flash thing. Just clear all of our memories.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:53:44] Well. There is an actual thing where. So I'm not gonna go to the long story about my brother, but my brother is mentally insane. And when my. My mom passed away, he fell on the floor and started screaming and doing all these crazy things. And I was talking to my friend who's a psychologist, and he tells me a lot of people who are sociopaths, what they do is they they live as when they act or when they have when they're supposed to have a feeling. They live in a way that says as if like, so if my mom were to die, this is how I'm supposed to. As if I'm as if I had feeling this how to live. And so he it was like crazy. It's like a Korean drama. He's like on the ground, like, screaming. Everyone's like, like, my mom was like, not like I should mention my mom had dementia. She had altimers. She was like she was like on her way to dying. It wasn't like a C.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:54:25] It wasn't. It didn't sneak up on you.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:54:26] Yeah. It wasn't like she was shot somewhere, right? She was there. And so, like, it was like the crazy. But but that was the first time I remember when it was happening. I looked at my brother. I'm like, like it just felt really wrong. Like he was an alien.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:54:37] Can I tell you? I watch a lot of Dateline and the number one way they know the husband did it, the one in two ways is no reaction.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:54:45] Or too much.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:54:46] Overreaction. Yeah, right.
Koji Steven Sakai: [00:54:47] Exactly.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:54:47] They've they've seen a lot of people die. Like we haven't seen that many people die. I mean, we don't tell people that their family members died. They do this with regularity. So they get to know what a normal response is. And if you say your wife, your wife's been killed and the guy's like, oh, really? He did it right. If he doesn't ask how, but if you go, your wife's been killed. Oh, my God. Then you also did it.You know what I mean?
Ben Glieb: [00:55:12] Somebody's heard that feedback. Now they're going to take that into account. Somebody kills their wife. They're going to be like, Oh, I'm shocked. I mean, not to shock. I'm just medium, medium shocked about this. I'm sad. I'm not too sad. I understand. I keep it in perspective. Don't you understand? I feel some way about this. I can't tell you. I'm peeved. I'm peeved about my wife being murdered. I'll tell you that much. I'm slightly sauced about this. Although I. Reporter I wouldn't mind busting down with her.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:55:39] Right.
Ben Glieb: [00:55:40] Which could mean talking. Could mean talking. It's too soon for it to mean anything more than that. We'll be right back. It's not my own show. I'm being interviewed. About my wife's death. I'm so, so sorry. Brought to you by beaches. Beaches, chewing gum. We'll be right back. You watch a lot of Dateline. Here's an important question. Do you watch alone.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:55:57] Both alone and.
Ben Glieb: [00:55:58] Never watch alone?
Dwayne Perkins: [00:55:59] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ben Glieb: [00:55:59] That's what they say. That's their slogan. Dateline.
Dwayne Perkins: [00:56:03] Oh, I didn't know that. To be fair, I Listen, more than I watch to the Podcast
Ben Glieb: [00:56:07] They don't mention listening. They don't. it's probably fine to listen alone. Also, in case you're a sociopath, brothers listening. I think you're a normal dude and you're a great dude. Don't come after me.
