I laughed more at this part.
Perhaps the problem for me is to try to disassociate Robin Williams from Mork and Mindy and now he is some depressed quack!?
I guess we have to just disagree on this movie.

No disagreement here, but they did get the accents right and there were funny scenes. The scene you linked to above comes off more mushy than funny for me. Although I see the comedic aspect of over-the-top sentimentality so I totally understand your point.Quote:

I literally won enough money in the last 3 weeks to be able to never have to worry about any work or bills for the next 50 years lol lol lol.
They will never catch me now!
It might be time to actually invest in a business or two.
I bet I can parasite a few free Corona Government Cheese Loans still.
Sorry for the bragging.
I'm pumped up and excited.
I forget that other people in the world are starving or at war.
Uncle is feeling a lot better too but I got this feeling I'm gonna lose him.
I can't dwell on that too long or Niagara Falls.
He is the last of my immediate blood relatives.
Not counting my wife, who certainly has become a spiritual and blood relative IMO that is.
No problem Monet. This was a strong episode IMHO because Barnes joined in for the commentary so there was great insight and chemistry between the three. Congrats on the big wins - creating peace of mind is what it's all about.Quote:

But counting all expenses it is safe to say that I need 24k per year in cash to cover everything.
She works anyways so you know... Free Insurance for me and that money just goes in the bank and is never touched.
Anyways, whatever... don't mean to bore you with the way I think and or analyze things.
NATO probably NUKE the entire world anyway.
Oh and don't get me wrong.
Math is 100% without a doubt King but I seen so many people go on runs for 500k to 2 Million playing Negative EV Games like Dice that it will make your head spin.
Take Owning Mahoney for example.
He ran it up to what... 5 or 10 Million or something like that.
Or how about that guy Craig Carton!?
He had multiple times where he started with 500k playing Black Jack and was up to 2 Million inside of 30 minutes.
The list goes on and on and on and on with virtual coin flip games.
I know the APs want to discredit this sort of thing and always focus on the math but I am telling you that their is something about shoving it in and breaking it off that can work in the short term.
Aggressive Crazy Players who Bet More to Win More sometimes just do mind boggling things.
A guy during the WSOP a few years back was playing 20k a hand at BlackJack and went on a run.
Soon he was playing something like 100k per hand.
He won something like 5 Million.
I'm just saying.
Personally I have had runs from 3k to 300k and I just destroyed the Book for an ugodly amount in the last couple of weeks before the 6 teamer.
Believe it or Not... just sharing my experience.
It might help someone out there.
It might get them busted in a heartbeat too lol.
That's why I didn't mind MDawg.
True or not I found it inspirational.
Recall that Archie Karas, that Greek dude , ran it up to 40 mil (out in Vegas IIRC) before giving it all back. Anyway, for certain, when you figure in your mailers (Hot Sucker),free play,casino comps, and, perfect discarding, you are playing the math - really I should not even mention it as it goes without saying.Quote:

Yes I guess there's a chance it was staged. However, if it was staged then it was a peculiar move to go on to say that he gave it all back,so I lean somewhat heavily toward it not being staged. One other thing I forgot to mention about the most recent Baldwin drop which I'm surprised I forgot to mention earlier since it dovetails into what we were just talking about in regards to massive -EV run-ups was the following:Quote:

Barnes stated that there was no way Vegas mass murderer Paddock got his wealth from video poker and that Barnes was virtually certain he got it from money-laundering or as a CIA asset IIRC (or both).
So while these guys on America's Untold Stories are pretty sharp, in this they are clueless (in the sense that they shouldn't assume that's impossible that he got a lot of it or even all of it from VP - obviously he could have). Like we talked just about, Paddock could've easily gone on some sort of high denom (100-hand $5 along with multi-hand [3,5,10 hand] $25,$50 or $100 denom for example - I seem to recall he played at nosebleed stakes) super-duper run-up with dealt royals and other premium hands. I'm not writing off the idea that Paddock got some of his fortune from CIA shit and laundering, but there's no fucking way I am writing off the idea that he got it from VP. Of course he could have gotten it from VP.

Thanks again Monet. I watched the movie. Like Gymkata, who the fuck cares what the movie's about - the fact that it was made in '86 is all that matters as far as making it worth the watch. Looking beyond the date it was made though, I liked the movie. Mr. WKRP in Cincinnati played the lawyer (Howard Hesseman/Dr. Johnny Fever) and may he rest in peace (died in January of this year). He was the shit back then so of course they were going to cast him. Then you had the awesome downtown '86 Vegas backdrop including the Mint. The banker gets shot full of holes and lives and Burt still gets his trip to Venice.Quote:

They remade the movie with Jason Statham but it is completely unwatchable.
I didn't even try.
Seen the preview and didn't like the idea anyway.
How are you gonna remake a Burt Reynolds movie?
Doesn't work.
How about that scene inside the Glitter Gulch with the arcade machines lol.

Another Great Line.

Yes great scene (the pinball machine very briefly appearing behind Osgood's left shoulder was Harlem Globetrotters). Recall that former NFL pro Pete Koch (one of De Marco's bodyguards) also played a big role in Heartbreak Ridge (Eastwood) as Swede, who Clint beat up to get respect from his troop of misfits.Quote:

What is with these two assholes and the cheese?
Why can't they just be two regular guys who gamble.
I hate all this high energy fake bullshit.
I want this to be similar to Larry King format.
Scotty is Great!
Sounds Real.
Very Down to Earth.
Believable.
Listening to the other two is like nails on a chalkboard.
Not so bad if you like nails on a chalkboard.
Yes, I am skimming through because its a bit of a slow draw.
I love how Scotty completely dismisses Munchkin.
That was worth the listen.
Around 13:00 lol
RIP the Stardust.
I miss the joint.
Good Listen tableplay.
Thanks!
IMO the old ways are the best ways!
Kudos to Scotty!
"Oh you got too much on Notre Dame... ok give me 10 grand on the other side"
"You tell me who to bet on ok"
I'm not a big fan of Dancer, but this was a stand-out episode so I had to reco it. I'm glad you enjoyed it Monet. Scotty's stories were really something - basically this episode could have just as easily been called Stories of Mob bookmaking in Vegas Casino Sportsbooks.Quote:

Episode #1824 - Lex Fridman!!

I didn't realize the Armenians had such power!

I did see it Monet, but really appreciate you reco-ing it (I dozed off after listening to it very late at night [put off listening to it since I was too busy with following the Singer thread], so I didn't post it and then you beat me to it). Absolutely amazing episode (adding Barnes to the mix and free-forming it puts this show on steroids). Honestly when Mark started breaking down how election fraud works in California I was wishing I had a Youtube account and was listening to it live so I could ask him the superchat question: "Mark it worked this way in the last Presidential election too right ?" (you probably remember the tip-of-the-iceberg van bust during the last presidential election where boxes and boxes of ballots were found inside the van - here is a disinformation hit piece from the cult-owned Washington Times:https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...te-on-election). Obviously this is why the Democrats are always pushing for absentee ballots with no restrictions . Wow, he gave away the goods here. It's always fun to learn a little bit more about how the world works. Before social media we might never had learned the minutia of how it all really works. I also enjoyed the inside take on the shelf-life of hot actresses and learning the motivation behind suppressing the sexuality of gay actors and actresses.Quote:

I figured not many people care if this dude is gay in this day and age so it shouldn't affect viewership revenue, so why doesn't he just publicly announce it ? Well now we know - suspension of belief. Same deal with homo Tom Cruise.
Because of this podcast, I am now going to watch Mark's Val Kilmer documentary reco (after I listen to this mother-fucking podcast for a 2nd time). They should add Barnes for every episode, not just once a month or what-not. The show is great without Barnes, but with Barnes it's just fucking nuts.
Thanks again for posting it to make sure I knew about it even though you figured I likely watched it.
Reco-ing It... Clever!Quote:

Really depressing to realize how slow I really am.
Lesbian or Not... I always knew that women only have a few years before nobody cares about them as a leading lady in a romantic role but you know I'm obsessed with watching movies for over 40 years.
And I have to admit that I couldn't stomach the John Travolta news... really made me want to watch him less but I tend to look past it with entertainment because the Alphabet Crew always makes good Art and or Entertainment in all forms and I get wrapped up in storyline and not the producers of such storyline.
Case in Point... Speed Racer Movie... Transwhatever produced but I still enjoy the movie and watched it the other day, again.
They really nailed the whole family but they REALLY nailed Spritle and Chim Chim.
That being said... I tried to go back and watch the 52 episodes of the Speed Racer Cartoon but couldn't get past minute 5 to 10 because of how gay they made Speed Racer look.
I never noticed as a kid watching that cartoon on my black and white 13 inch TV but its so in your face now that I'm over 40 that I couldn't stomach it and I don't like the theme song saying he is a Demon and not a Speed Demon.
Just my personal thoughts and not meant to be impressed on you or anyone else.
I don't like admitting this but I am one of the people who enjoy Flock of Seagulls song and video... I ran.
Yes exactly. Recall how we had discussed the fall of Neve Campbell. Molly Ringwald,Cameron Diaz, and Melanie Griffith also were in the same category. I mean they were the shit back then and now, well . . . . Mark mentioned that there were just too many to name and no doubt about it. Julia Roberts doesn't care since she's already made here gazillion. Barnes mentioned the Snipes trial was pretty good but didn't get the publicity because of no cameras allowed, so I will get some entertainment by learning more about it. I know he had major tax fraud issues which pretty much ended his non-Eastern block movie career.Quote:

I wasn't going to post this (it's a half-reco not a reco) since you (understandably) dislike GWAE podcasts and I hate to do this to you Monet, but you might want to give this GWAE podcast linked below a look. Why am I being so sadistic ? Well he gets into reasons for betting parlays for starters. Anyway, my apologies.

I tend to believe he ratholed some of that money though and didn't tell anyone... had to... I have to believe he was at least that sharp.
Ok cool Monet, glad you are going to give it a listen. Shortly, I am going to track down the Val Kilmer documentary and putlocker it. As an aside, I putlockered the new Wokeman movie (it is now mandatory that Commissioner Gordon is black and that the lady running for mayor must be black). I'm surprised they didn't make Batman black, but I guess that will happen when someone else makes a Wokeman reboot. Other than that, the movie was fine ;-).Quote:

Mark is on the inside so he is probably looking at it from a few different angles compared to me who is only looking to be entertained.
Mark probably likes the truth and accuracy of it and the way it was shot and written and Mark probably has some sort of friendship with Val.
In my opinion it makes Val look bad, needy and weak.
Val Fucked Up his money a few times which is easy to do and I understand.
Val sold all that property to gamble on Mark Twain???
Fuck That... I hate that idea lol.
I don't believe a Mark Twain movie would of been popular with the masses these days.
So many things I don't like about the documentary.
I'll probably never watch it again unless its on a TV and I'm too lazy to change the channel and I have nothing else to do.
Fucking Up your money that bad and doing those shows and signing all those autographs??
Putting a blanket over your head while they wheel you out.
Val makes it sort of look like he got the short end but it is obvious that he Fucked things up.
I mean he had a GREAT FUCKING RUN but the Party is Over and most people can't ever face that fact and want to live forever.
Val Kilmer still has something like 5 to 10 Million.
Fuck... just relax and enjoy your money till you move on from this world.
But he is an addict who has to document every second of his life so that isn't going to change lol.
I sort of understand.
Life is messy and complicated.
I prefer famous people to act like Norm Macdonald.
Sarcastic, Strong and Secretive all the way till the bitter end.
Or at the very least just quietly disappear out of the public view.
Kirk Douglas did the same shit with his show/documentary in 2009 Before I forget.
I watched about 10 minutes before I gave up on it.
I still have the DVD as it came in a package set but don't ever plan to watch it.
I got up to the point where he said he had a gun in his mouth in his house and decided not to do it.
He made it ten more years but he had plenty of money and family to get it done.
The little bit that I watched of the documentary/show screwed up my perspective of the image he burned into our brains with 60+ years of movies.
These people are selling me a dream and escape.
I don't want them to sell me realism at the end of their life so they can profit.
I think Paul Newman did it better.
At the end he only decided to voice a cartoon.
I can live with that.
Although he really Fucked Up with that bullshit charity salad dressing shit though.
His daughter(s) are Pissed and got Fucked lol.
I'm pretty sure all charities are a scam and I tend to think he set it up for tax purposes.
It's a Behemoth though.
That Charity Money is getting stolen left and right.
Well if Val still has 5-10M left, that's plenty. I should not have assumed you hadn't seen Val's autobiography film. I assume he is still in Malibu, which has some of the best weather in the world, and he's got a nice ride. In the documentary, he claimed it was the divorce expenses that fucked him up, but I'll take your word for it that it was the Mark Twain movie that reduced his fortune to 5-10M (I will also take your word for it that you are not the only one reading this thread besides me). If you're not a smoker and get throat cancer that's somewhat of a bad beat (I'm guessing he was not a smoker, or not much of one, but I don't know). Anyway, I'm glad he got it treated and recovered - hopefully his voice will recover too, but that's gravy.Quote:

I enjoyed the footage Val provided from the set of the Island of Dr. Moreau fiasco. I liked that movie even though it was supposed to have been a total fuck-up.
What I was really hoping for, was a lot more detail about Real Genius which is one of my favorite movies and my favorite movie that Val made -but it was totally glossed over.
I saw an obscure movie 17 or so years ago that he did called Mindhunters which you may have seen. IIRC this one sat on the rack for 10 years or something like that and then it was in theaters (where I saw it) for like a week. It was OK, nothing special. Since Val did so many movies, I guess it was understandable that he glossed over a lot of them and just stuck to detailing the big ones.
Anyway, as you mentioned, Mark is probably (like 99.9% probably) a friend of Val's and was just plugging the shit for Val. I thought it was Ok, but absolutely no fucking way was this a must see documentary.
Hopefully Val realizes that cruising around Malibu in a nice ride with 5-10M in the bank is just fine, but that's out of my hands.
Val is/was a really good looking guy.Quote:

In the Doc he was saying how all that land was for his family and their future generations.
That he would never give it up.
And after all that he says I need to sell it to fund this Mark Twain Project.
I wasn't there and I don't know him or anything but just on the surface that seems contradictory and selfish.
I get it... that's life.
When MC Hammer went Broke he told people... hey, there is MC Hammer Broke and there is Regular People Broke.
Meaning that when these people go broke it is more likely for paperwork purposes and they have plenty of hidden cash/assets.
I don't care how much money and power you have... it's easy to Fuck It Up.
I don't know if Val was a smoker but he certainly had to smoke for certain roles in movies.
And just living in LA or any Big City Area is a large risk for all sorts of Cancer(s).
The documentary had its moments but it just felt disjointed and didn't have much substance, in my opinion.
But everyone else loves it and praises it because you know, its about a guy overcoming death and cancer and nobody wants to kick him when he is down.
I am reviewing the documentary for entertainment purposes.
I probably should shut the fuck up about Val's Personal Life which I know nothing about.
Although he did put it all out there for us to look at and somewhat judge.
When you do the math, 62 is near the end, try to enjoy it.
If you make it into your 70's without money and people to help you, you are most likely Fucked!
And it only gets worse.
I watched my grandfather have a stroke in his early 60's and spend 25 years in a VA Hospital Bed.
That's Life but do you really want to live out your last 25 years like that?
I guess his sister liked it as she controlled all that monthly VA and SS money coming in lol!
12 x 25 = 300 x a monthly average of 3000 dollars = 900 Dimes over 25 Years.
That's a lot of money, I guess you have to keep him alive at those numbers lol.
Me, I'm crawling out somewhere with my 45 Automatic.
I don't want to make a mess indoors for someone to clean up.
The End.
That's a gem of a line from MC Hammer, thanks for posting it. When you have a big posse, and they all want a piece, then that's how it goes I guess. IIRC, Val had to do some smoking in Tombstone and The Doors, but I don't remember for certain.Quote:

Natural.
I got plenty of backhands from my father for it and I got the "You Feel Froggy" question from him all the time lol.
I got him back a few times.
I broke his nose once when we were both drunk on MadDog 20/20.
Good Times.
I drained his bank account a few times lol.
Payback for the few times he beat me up when I was like 8 years old.
Fun Times.
Still Love Him no matter what.
And never ratted on him for this massive black eye he gave me in second grade.
Actually I never ratted on anyone but I have been on the other end of that.
Totally blindsides you and feels like jumping in a frozen lake.
I must of had 11 different teachers grill me over and over again asking me if my Father beat me and I stuck with the same story.
I ran into a parking meter when I looked back running at full speed.
That was a true story.
That actually happened but it hit me square in the chest and knocked me back a few feet and didn't give me any bruises.
Anyways, enough about my Fun Childhood, which it was.
Wouldn't trade it for anyone else's.
So I listened to that GWAE Podcast that you recommended.
Really Good.
I skimmed a bit but listened to most of it.
It really shows you that if you don't know complicated math formulas and many other things that you should never make a sports bet.
But this is from the mind of a very analytical person which I agree that he is 100% correct.
He did hint about aggressive players though but he felt they only make money in the short term.
Can you beat 3 teamers?
Probably Not but the point is exactly what he mentioned.
When you bet parlays you look like a sucker.
Always make the Casino think you are some crazy sucker who likes to gamble.
When you bet parlays you do not move the line.
This is huge for 2 teamers IMO.
But whatever... percentage players die broke too don't they tableplay!?
I'm glad you enjoyed the Parlay podcast Monet. Yes, exactly, two-teamers with one no brainer mixed in does the trick. The podcast guest recommended the book The Logic of Sportsbetting, so I may pick up a copy. No reason not to expand one's horizons or to at least know what the possibilities are if one is a statistically minded punter.Quote:

Or to put it one other way, gotta be adequately bankrolled for whatever situation you're in.
Petty begged Harrison to Tour but it never happened.
Orbison's death didn't help.
They missed out on a ton of money.
Petty cared more than any of them.
I guess you just never have enough.
Amazing Collaboration that created a Super Group that we will never see again.

What the Fuck, Judge?
You cleared your throat every 30 seconds and seemed like you were in a hurry to leave.
Great Concept but the Interview sucked In My Opinion and I don't think Rogan watched enough of Judge's material to keep the conversation going.
He literally admitted that he never watched Idiocracy until the day of this interview.
Rogan has horrible taste in movies by the way.
I also am not convinced that Mike Judge wanted to do the interview.
When you do 3 hours a lot of things come out that you may not want to come out.
After about an hour into the interview you could see Judge having conflictions and trying to be careful in what he said.
And Judge had to leave early for some appointment so the interview was about an hour and 20 minutes.
Fuck, Joe, Plan out your schedule better.
Especially when you have these type of guests on.
Oliver Stone did the same shit on his last appearance.

I appreciate the heads up Monet. Since it's an 1:20 I'm in just to see the plane crash aspect of a botched interview. BTW I went with Mickey's reco from one of the other threads and watched 2000 Mules and I enjoyed it. Basically, if you decide to watch it, there aren't any surprises since Groubert already laid out how the election scam works, but it's still nice to see the degree of substantiation that this doc puts down. Also, the most recent America's Untold Stories (Tuesday's June 21st episode) has some more Groubert gold with respect to deep state ops IMHO - so you might want to check it out if you have time and haven't seen it already.Quote:

The last time Judge was on Rogan he came as a Tag Along and barely said a word.
The interview had weird flow.
Judge did not seem into it from my perspective.
You might see it differently.
It could of been some sort of last minute thing that they just threw together too, so there is that.
Someone brought up a really good point in the comment section about this interview.Quote:

Yes, great insight by the commenter - thanks for posting it. It may also have been one of the primary reasons why he wanted to cut the interview short.Quote:

On Tuesday's episode of America's Untold Stories, Groubert made a great point about just how fully owned/compromised all these A-list celebrities are. Groubert mentioned that Ben Stiller, who lives near Groubert very comfortably in Socal, wouldn't just jump up and go to Ukraine unless the deep-state handler(s) that made him an A-lister told him to get his butt over there.

His handlers being the people who run the world.Quote:

For the record, I didn't see anything like this as the lights or orbs were too far away.

Maybe they have that type of tech and maybe they are interested in studying ants that are perhaps billions of light years away (sending out ships to millions of planets that might harbor life). Another possibility is that some of these sightings are from some extremely ancient advanced civilization from right here on earth that survived some event that wiped almost everything off the face of the earth in pre-dinosaur times (pre-dating the pyramids by many many millenia) - extremely unlikely but possible. These would be the non-religious possibilities of course.
What we know for sure is that you saw exactly what you described - whatever it might be.
On a different note I saw the new Beavis and Butthead movie. But I can't reco it because it was only average in my opinion. Obviously cocaine does not have the same creative effect when one gets into their late 50's that it did when the the person was in their 20s and 30s. Mike Judge will have to risk a higher dosage I guess if he wants to recapture some of that creative spark. The new movie wasn't bad or anything and it is something you can watch when you've gotten some higher priority movies watched (if you haven't already seen it). He did get some nice jabs in at woke culture so at least he tried to bring something in from the current environment.
Thanks for the Beavis and Butthead Review.Quote:

Almost scouting or observing.
My best guess would be that it was something to do with the military.
The Drone Technology is supposed to be far more advanced than we know.
And it could have something to do with Musk and his Starlink.
Many people have seen what I am describing in the Spring Mountains and around Nellis Air Force Base for decades.
I haven't seen ghosts yet but many people claim to have seen them.
Life is Crazy lol.
No problem Monet. That is a great point about Drones. No doubt the most advanced military drones are incredible at this point in time.Quote:

I'll take that red Lamborghini over there. That will be $USD200 sir.
lol Joe Rogan trying to Freeze Himself to Death by way of Hypothermia.
Second Time he tried his Cold Plunge going for 20 minutes.
Kind of Funny to see how long you can actually watch this video without skipping to the end.
Side Note: I've done 20 and 30 minute Ice Baths.
Fun.

I really like the way Marc basically said everyone is religious in one way or another.
Even the most Atheist, Atheist is a member of some sort of religion and doesn't even realize it.
If you are not in a cult you are not in any form of current society.
That guy is really smart and he sold me on Nuclear Energy.
Thanks... Really Good Listen for me.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Monet. I liked the walk down the tech memory lane aspect as I mentioned before. However Marc couldn't admit he was wrong about stating that there has never been a robot that could fold clothes - I mean Jamie pulled the fact up that there are robots that do a great job folding clothes right there in front of him and then he started to weasel and grab for a topic change. It was good that Marc's philosophy is to kick woke people who don't want to work out of his company. I liked his comments about who is pushing the body positivity concept as well as the nuclear energy concept for supplying energy needs as you did. I guess I was expecting less of the podcast to be about work-related tech mantras for optimizing work-related performance (kind of like the Steve Jobs Apple shit) and more about Marc's opinions about current events.Quote:

Maybe Joe will have him on the podcast again and it will have more discussion about current issues.
I think he was talking a bit fast with the robot folding clothes. I think what he meant was that we don't have a personal home robot that can go to your closet and fold your clothes and pack your suitcase for your vacation. And he probably meant to take it another step further that we don't have a personal robot that can pack your bags and fold your clothes like another person or family member might do for you being able to know what clothes you like or need and personal items you need for your trip. As Joe Rogan kept trying to get Marc to admit that AI will eventually become self aware and a conscious being. That's what I got from it. I don't think Marc was back-peddling or trying to change the subject. it was just that the whole point of the conversation was Joe vs Marc on the issue of AI "awakening". Joe must of went around in the same circle asking multiple different questions to kind of get a "gotcha" on Marc but I felt Marc kept very consistent on his answers. Mistakes are always going to be made on a fluid conversation like Joe's Podcast. As you already stated that it would be nice of Marc to take more of a stance on his beliefs or whatnot but I think his point was that he isn't sure and he wants to stay arbitrary for the most part. A part two would be nice.Quote:

Monet, the America's Untold Stories channel you recommended is terrific. I found a channel called "The Film Archives". It has over 4500 videos uploaded. Here's an example of one. I have not listened to it yet, but it seems like this channel has an amazing array of interesting videos (https://www.youtube.com/user/thefilmarchives/videos).Quote:
