"Please look on the stage, it's Adam Conover."
Adam ConoverGUEST
I'm on stage, I'm like, "Cut, cut."
Dan WilburGUEST
But, you know, Adam of Adam Ruins Everything had already left, but he was also around.
Travis IrvineHOST
Oh, Adam Conover.
Travis IrvineHOST
And so I just
Dan WilburGUEST
met all these Adam Conover and because all of those guys were in Old English, the sketch group.
Dan WilburGUEST
That's right.
Dan WilburGUEST
And so I started doing stand up and then they would ask me to host those shows just like in high school where they were like, you're the funniest sort of like guy who can point at people and tell three jokes and then introduce us.
Randy WangHOST
And this isn't just statewide races.
Randy WangHOST
Nithya Raman paid, uh, thousands and thousands of dollars to this influencer, Adam Conover, who interviewed her on his podcast a bunch of times.
Randy WangHOST
And it's one thing if you're interviewing somebody because, well, it's an important race and you care about it.
Randy WangHOST
Maybe you even endorse them.
Adam ConoverHOST
Welcome to Factualie.
Adam ConoverHOST
I'm Adam Conover.
Adam ConoverHOST
Thank you so much for joining me on the show again as I talk to an amazing thinker and get all those delicious, juicy idea nuggets out of their skulls and into ours.
Adam ConoverHOST
It's over 100 degrees here in Los Angeles today.
Liz PowellHOST
yeah it woof i mean again where we started on this was like libertarian rationalist sex worker turned something and like
Harris O'MalleyHOST
I got involved with less wrong in the effect of altruists and she's a big believer in a lot of the Eliezer Yukowsky stuff in fact I believe and a lot of the things like slut con which I sent you some stuff about we can talk about at some point which is one of those I can see the value in it but not being run by any of the people currently involved and somehow Adam Conover is involved which really makes me sad
Liz PowellHOST
Oh, no, no.
Liz PowellHOST
Damn.
Randy WangHOST
this isn't just statewide races.
Randy WangHOST
Nithya Raman paid thousands and thousands of dollars to this influencer, Adam Conover, who interviewed her on his podcast a bunch of times.
Randy WangHOST
And it's one thing if you're interviewing somebody because, well, It's an important race, and you care about it.
Randy WangHOST
Maybe you even endorse them, but it makes it a lot harder to believe what's going on in that interview when you're getting paid
Emily Guy BirkenHOST
Even though, and it's not because it was a bad movie.
Emily Guy BirkenHOST
It's not because it was just this particular studio owner looked at the calculation and decided, "I'm gonna make more money by shelving this movie than I am by putting it out." And the reason why I bring this up is because the YouTuber that, I think it was Adam, Adam Conover, was talking about how movie studios aren't in the business of making movies anymore.
Emily Guy BirkenHOST
They're in the business of making money.
Emily Guy BirkenHOST
And that is in such contrast with studios having standing orchestras for disposable entertainment.
Nick WigerHOST
Mm-hmm.
Nick WigerHOST
Our s- uh, yeah, Resident Evil merchant, you weren't around for this, but our second ever episode, uh, is Adam Conover came on and just discussed the, the legendarily terrible Superman '64.
Matt ApodacaHOST
Yeah.
Resident Evil MerchantVOICE_ACTOR
Superman '64.
Mindy TuckerHOST
And that's part of why we're gonna do, uh...
Mindy TuckerHOST
So, uh, Adam Conover had a really good suggestion, and he was like, "Listen, I think you have to do one book," but I am hoping that we can get enough listeners and support.
Mindy TuckerHOST
I think it's two books, and I think one book is an oral history where we talk about these shows and sort of the structure of things.
Matteo LaneGUEST
