#7 - Brian Redban

Now it's all about checking out the Twitter, though, to find out when really shit's going on.

Well, that's ridiculous, Brian, because some people have lives, and they can't just be on the fucking Twitter all the time looking for you to do shit.

Have you met people that have their Twitter set up so when people tweet, they automatically get, like, a text message?

Yeah.

That's retarded.

I know. People get mad at me sometimes. Hey, man, you're tweeting too much, man. It's blowing up my phone. I have to take you off.

Yeah. That's ridiculous.

Why would you have. I think maybe in the beginning it was almost like an instant message for not. But really, that's just text messaging. That's someone who, you know, text messaging, but text messaging to all their friends.

Right.

And then it got know. It's a strange way of communicating, man. Twitter is one of the weirdest fucking inventions that the Internet has ever give birth to. Shit out. It's amazing. It's so simple. Keep it to 140 characters so that you don't get too fucking verbose and stupid. You learn how to edit your shit. You can't have these long run on you ever read someone's blogs? And even my own blogs ramble so much too much sometimes. But some people.

Your blogs are for smart people that readers. I have to be in a reader mode most of the time. I'm in more of a video.

Me too. I don't want to read people's bullshit. I don't want to read anything like I write. But sometimes I do.

I think it's.

And when I want to write it, I have to write it. If I'm writing something, it's just because that's what I'm thinking about. And I've been fucking with it, and I've been rolling around in my head, and they might not be correct. I have no idea. Most of my ideas are just pure speculation, but the only way to really be honest about it is to write it in a blog. You can't tell people stuff like that. You start talking to people about your theories and you sound like a nut. But at least if you write it down. For whatever reason. It looks more thought out.

Yeah.

Isn't that weird? Have you just tell people that you think that technology is some sort of a symbiotic life form that's existing with us and eventually it's going to overcome us, and then everybody's looking at it like we control it always. No, those Terminator movies, those guys got it right. That's, like, super possible. It really is. I mean, no one wants to believe it, but if you look at how fucking chaotic human life is, and not really in America, this is a pretty badass country. But if you watch documentaries on that vice squad guide to Liberia. Is that what it was? What is the website that. Did we talk about that last week? What was it about those Vice tv guys, those guys that go to Liberia and talk about all the cannibalism and shit that's going on.

That seems like you did.

I think we did talk about it, yeah. If you haven't seen it. Well, I'm going to find the link and throw it up anyway because it's so crazy.

There was a link also that you talked about last week that somebody said that you didn't. Did you ever?

Which one?

They were like, this link's not working. A lot of people were saying. I forget what it was about. Maybe the lions. That you were talking about the lions last week. The amped up.

Oh, yeah. Really? That was the wrong one.

Maybe it was that one. There was a few. I just remember because somebody said that they saw it.

It was amazing. Maybe they googled it or something.

Yeah, maybe they were smart. They're like, oh, maybe we should use Google.

If I'm talking about something, I'll give you the wrong link. Let me know.

I'm sorry.

That is annoying when you try and figure out what it is.

Most of the time, Google works, though, pretty well.

Don't you feel like a little genius? When you figure out where they fucked up, though? You go back to the URL and you go, oh, there's an included bottom part of it, and you got to copy and paste the whole they put in your browser. It's like a little. Solve a little puzzle. That's for you. Oh, cool. That's a papaya kombucha. Shit's good for you. Or is it mango? Papaya.

Papaya.

Keeping it real. What's up, Twitter people? The fuck's cracking? How's life? That lion shit was crazy.

Yeah.

If you haven't seen what we're talking about with the lion shit. There was these gigantic lions that lived in Africa, and they got cut off from the rest of the continent and they were stuck on an island. And they were like regular sized lions at first, they presume, and because they were on the island with only water buffalo, water buffalo hard as fuck to kill. So these lions got gigantic. They grew fucking huge from taking down water buffaloes. It's really pretty fucking spooky stuff. It's intense. They looked like the hulk. They didn't look real. Those mice that have that myostatin thing that they like, those dogs, those whippets, when they do those experiments on them and they make them look like cartoons.

Have you ever seen that? Just disease? I guess it would be. That makes you grow fast. They just showed this woman that was twelve years old, but she looked like she was 62 in a smoker.

Yeah. It's not that it has to do with the fat in your skin. It doesn't have to do with growing fast. It has to do with the fat in your skin. When you get older, one of the things that happens is the fat leaves your skin. And these people, who are like 13 and twelve and little babies even, they have this disease where that's how their body starts treating it right away, so their skin starts to behave like an old person's skin. Whoa.

It was weird, though. I felt so bad for her because she really.

And her mother had it, too. It's terrible.

Super rare, though, so don't worry about.

Yeah, but it's pretty freaky when you find diseases like, know. But this Liberia shit, man, if you haven't seen this, I have to throw this link up because it's one of the gnarliest fucking documentaries I've ever seen, ever. And these guys, I think their show is called Vice Guide TV. Yeah, vice guide to Liberia. I'm going to give you exactly.

Did you watch lost last night?

Yes, I did.

Without giving any spoilers. What do you think?

No spoilers.

No spoilers?

I think I'm getting tired of it.

You are?

Yeah.

So you didn't find it exciting last night?

It was exciting, but I was like, come on, you're just jumping back in time and people are dead, but then they're not. And like, come on. Really?

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? It's like, really? That's what's going on now?

Well, when that one thing was the one thing, and he was like, I'm sorry for being that thing. That was crazy.

Yeah, but it was like a certain point in time, I was like, God damn, this is like, comical.

Yeah, it was caricaturey you know what I really hated also is how many commercials there were. There were like every 3 minutes there was a commercial. In the future, hopefully you could go, all right. No, I don't want commercials. I want pop up ads on my tv.

Pretty nutty.

Because that was just like, you were into it. Out of it. Into it, out of it.

Yeah, it is pretty nutty. You got to watch it on DVR, and even then you got to fast forward through them. Commercials are a very inefficient way of reaching people because you're enjoying the shit out of them. If you stuff enough shit down our throats, we'll eventually take it. But putting it on in the middle of shows and stuff like that.

What if you could go to a group once a month for 10 minutes and they just showed you
