Nick, I've been engaging with some interesting media as of late that I'd like you to know about in particular.

Okay.

I mean, last episode we talked about how we've both been watching Rick and Morty.

So I don't know if it can get more controversial or cancelable than that.

No, it's definitely cringe.

Like, I think...

Again, I always say there was really nothing wrong with Rick and Morty other than the fact that it was kind of cringe.

You

know what? I hate to play devil's advocate on this one because I ended up re-watching from the first season and it's in the background while I'm fucking doing nothing.

The Pickle Rick episode is actually hilarious.

Pretty good.

Again, same problem.

Idiot slashed onto it.

The premise of that episode is very funny.

Yeah, because it's the...

It was like the Elon Musk phenomenon, right? Of like, man engages with media because he thinks he should and then doesn't understand it.

We've seen this a million times.

There's nothing to understand about the

Pickle Rick episode.

It's just that he...

It's just stupid.

The show – that is the thing, right, is that then the main problem with that show is that then people are – not even just over-intellectualizing, intellectualizing a cartoon that is not that deep.

Yeah.

You know, that is the problem.

It's

not that deep, but I – I think with the Musk thing in particular, it was just that, like, Rick is really cool and based and then missed the thing that was, like, even explicit in the Pickle Rick episode of, like, he's also fundamentally emotionally broken.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But that's the thing, too, right? Is that it's, like, the show...

tells you the thing you know like the show tells you at face value this is what the episode's about it's not like it is not deep it just like it is like it stares you you know breaking the fourth wall and being like hey this character is bad

yeah but i think the same time like i do think that like musk doesn't actually engage with any of the media he says he does he just yeah

like how what the thing was it a few years ago where he like paid people to play video games for him

yeah they're like the yeah balder's gate and stuff like that yeah yeah we're like leveled up his character for him uh yeah like i think he he's he does that thing that i think like like the UK prime minister apparently does this or did this in the nineties where they were given something called a sizzle reel, which was, I think that was the name of it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was basically like a compilation video of all the big, like media moments of the last week.

To make it seem like they were regular people who had the time to watch

TV.

Yeah.

I feel like he engages with...

Genuinely, I think all he saw of the Pickle Rick episode is Rick saying, I'm Pickle Rick.

Probably,

yeah.

I don't know, though.

He is like...

Elon Musk doesn't do anything.

I could imagine that he has watched it and he's too stupid to get any base level critique of anything.
