SPEAKER_01 0:22

You know my favorite part of this is I never know what you're gonna say.

SPEAKER_03 0:26

I just say what I see, and I looked over there and you had your hand inside, not not like a a jar of coconut, an actual coconut. You were you were knuckle deep inside a coconut, moisturizing your skin, getting ready for it. This weekend, the barbecues, the beer, the boobies.

SPEAKER_03 1:20

Yeah. It's so funny. I f I find it not funny. I find it very weird. On Memorial Day, everybody's like, sale, sale, sale. And it's like Memorial Day. We're remembering Yeah, our veterans, our veterans, and people who are first responders and people that have done so much. It just like I until I did the show, I didn't until I did Seal Team, I was like, Memorial Day. I just I just pictured as like barbecue and thing, which it's awesome that we live in a country that we can have that, but because the men and women have done so much, um, and and and unfortunately paid the ultimate sacrifice. But you know, as an amigrant here and someone that has been so fortunate to come to this country and live out my dreams, this is the greatest country in the world. And we have that because we have had men and women, true warriors, step up, answer the call, and keep this country amazing. And uh I'm uh to all the to the men and women out there who have served and continue to serve are currently serving, um thank you. Thank you for everything. Thank you uh for allowing me to have a podcast. It's freedom of speech. You know? If it wasn't for you guys, you know, uh so many people wouldn't be able to have the life that they have and um and the freedoms that we have. And it's unfortunate that more people don't recognize um how important that is. So from me to you, I love you. I love you. I love you. And I'm pointing at the camera, not you, Sean.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

Yeah, I got a shoot down at the Piccolo Spileto event on Sunday and the Piccolo, woo Piccolo Spileto Festival.

SPEAKER_03 4:07

Is that Pig Latin for Piccolo?

SPEAKER_01 4:08

Is that the Doc Street Theater?

SPEAKER_03 4:10

What's that?

SPEAKER_01 4:11

It's downtown Charleston. I don't really know what the event is.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

I just I show up and you don't even know what the event is?

SPEAKER_01 4:17

I I do. I have a briefing in like my call sheet and stuff. I just haven't looked at it yet. Is it confidential? Probably.

SPEAKER_03 4:22

I probably shouldn't even have said the location, but so and it's called Piccolo Spilato?

SPEAKER_01 4:28

The Piccolo Spileto Festival in Charleston.

SPEAKER_03 4:30

I feel like somebody, there's a different name, but somebody that told you what that place was was drunk, and they're like, come to this pickles potato. You know, piccolo piccato. That sounds like pick a potato. You know, like an Irishman, you know, when he said a few cocktails, he's like, Where are we going? It's Piccolous Potato. And you were like, oh, the pickup of potato? Like that's the that's the thing. The pick up is pickle up, I don't biscotti.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

Yeah, so it's a 17-day arts and cultural event in Charleston, South Carolina.

SPEAKER_03 5:02

17 days of arts?

SPEAKER_01 5:04

Just arts, dude. Charleston's a huge arts community.

SPEAKER_03 5:07

Man, that sounds like a lot of Birkin stocks and Harry Armpitts.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

And coconut oil once I get there.

SPEAKER_03 5:13

Hey, buddy. I'm I'm a fan of coconut oil. I I love me some coconut oil. It does. It just reminds me as soon as you you smell suntan lotion or coconut oil, it just takes me back to the islands. Takes me back. It's like a Zach Brown song. Right? What's that song? My ass in the Sand and Beer in My Hand? Life is Good Today? That's a great song.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

That's is that Zach Brown? That's not Zach Brown.

SPEAKER_03 5:34

Is it? I think it is. Life is good today. I love it. Um Yeah, I don't know what we're gonna do this weekend. I'm I'm I'm excited to uh hang out with kids and and uh do some fishing. I go out boating and I don't know. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be uh a good weekend. I do though, I think each year, thank you. Uh um each year though, it's become a tradition in our family. We go up to um uh the graveyard where some soldiers are, and we lay some flags down for the kids, and which is cool for them to to sort of see it. And so there's had their perception of of um what's happened, you know, and then they stick like their their concept of time of like you know, some of those graveyards they're they're they're they date back so far. Yeah, and um just to see my kids try and conceptualize what time is, they're like, they're like so last year, I'm like, yes, but uh but yeah, so um uh I'm looking forward to the weekend though. It's gonna be a good weekend. Charleston knows how to like summertime in Charleston is legit. And I I honestly people are like, oh, it's so humid. I I love me some swamp ass. It's my favorite, you know. Rather than the dry heat, I hate the dry heat.

SPEAKER_01 6:56

Dude, we've had some great nights lately. Like last night, even though it was like a hundred degrees all day, it was absolutely beautiful last night. Just around seven o'clock when that sun started to go down a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

Is that when you started putting the coconut oil in?

SPEAKER_01 7:08

Yeah, I was all lathered up.

SPEAKER_03 7:10

Yeah, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:11

My neighbors were staring, but you know what? They can mind their own business.

SPEAKER_03 7:14

You should probably shut the window.

SPEAKER_01 7:16

I was outside.

SPEAKER_03 7:17

You just fully torqued outside.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

I mean, I wouldn't call it torqued, but I mean, I was lathered up pretty well.

SPEAKER_03 7:24

You're lathered up. What? It's good. Um, well, let's get into the top 10. Welcome back to the top 10 most viral clips of this week on unfiltered Friday. So what do we got? What's number 10?

SPEAKER_01 7:38

So, welcome to the top 10 countdown, AJ. Thank you. We're starting at number 10 with a new American Pope, Leo.

SPEAKER_03 7:47

Pope Leo.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

Pope Leo out of Rome, surrounded by the kids. Out in the world.

SPEAKER_02 7:53

What did you write here?

SPEAKER_01 7:56

So the kids start doing the 6'7 meme and the hand thing and the chant, and the Pope, without missing a beat, does it back. The Vatican PR did not see this coming.

SPEAKER_03 8:05

Oh, because he's the Ah man, I could I'm so over that whole 6'7 thing. I was like stuck seven, seven. I'm like, guys, that one kid that did it, it was like, I don't know, he went viral for whatever it is. So, okay, so Pope Leo, uh, the first American-born Pope. Let's go USA. Um, was elected last year. He was uh greeting a group of children in St. Petersburg Square, and one of the kids started doing the 6-7 chant. Um that's uh and uh oh yeah, what was it? The Skrillas song TikTok meme, right? Yeah, it was all it was big in 2020, 2025 and 2026. Um, it's good that the Pope has a sense of humor, right? I feel like a good sense of humor is needed, you know. That was the one thing with um growing up Irish Catholic. The church, you'd walk through the church and the statues were so terrifying. Like it just you just felt like so. So you get a good priest up there, you know, like a good Irish priest that has like four bottles of wine prior to the service, and he's just he's ready to throw down for Jesus. Breaking the he's just eating the loaf of bread and dipping it right there out of the gates, like more concerned about the soccer games going on, or sorry, football, football, football, too. That was sacrilegious right there. But uh that's um that's cool. Then I think you have to be able to, you know, you have to be able to, in order to pull the younger generation, and that's why I love our church she goes, because it really like like my kids enjoy it. My I'll ask my kids at the end of church, I'm like, how do you think of that? And they'll be able to um to they understand it enough, you know, especially when they use uh they use props. Like one of our our pastors, Joel, really loved this guy. Um he uh he always has like props and stuff up there, and the kids love it. They're like, oh, you know, but it's good, it's like these visual sort of things to do it. I love props. The old uh carrot top. Um so the Vatican observers are calling it the most Gen Z pop moment in memory, right? So this is what happens when you elect a Pope from Chicago. He he can read the room. He loves I wonder if he's he's got some deep dish Chicago pizza uh at the uh at the Vatican. Um what's uh what's the internet reaction?

SPEAKER_01 10:24

Yeah, so Catholic TikTok and faith content creators are sharing it as proof that the church can meet people where they are. The meme accounts are sharing it because the Pope just won the internet for the day. Even the people who don't care about the church are sharing the clip just because it's genuinely funny.

SPEAKER_03 10:39

Yeah, it's true though. You gotta be able to like you get like you got to the Bible is already confusing enough, right? Um actually speaking of my pastor, Pastor Joel, he had told me about the Bible that's a comic book. Have you seen this thing?

SPEAKER_01 10:56

I heard about it. I think we talked about it briefly on another podcast.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

Oh, yeah, with Remy, I think. Yeah, it hasn't come out yet. But dude, this thing is legit. It's at Target. Um, it is cool, man. Like, awesome. So I think you have to adapt to be able to bring that in because the Bible is just so deep and so confusing. But if you want to be able to like, you know, I'm a simple guy.

SPEAKER_01 11:14

Yeah, that's right. Uh my daughter's my daughter's a huge comic book person right now.

SPEAKER_03 11:17

Yeah, and it's good drawings, too. So I gotta tell you, you know, you know the Pope that you chose is definitely the uh the right pick when he hears a TikTok meme from a 10-year-old, and he doesn't even flinch. So we got an American Pope, we got some Chicago, Chicago, Chicago energy. I'm telling you right now, we're we're in good hands. We are in good hands. The hands of the Lord, the Pope. God bless you, brother. All right, what do we have next? Number nine.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

So, number nine, Monday Night Raw Street Fight match. Finn Baylor against JD McDono, his former judgment day stablemate. End of the match, Baylor stuffs McDonough into an open trash can, climbs the turnbuckles, and hit the coupe de grace off the top rope directly into McDonough and the can and pins him. The crowd lost their minds. I probably butched that last name.

SPEAKER_03 12:09

Yeah, you you shit the bed on that one, Sean. Let's just uh let's just call Spade a Spade. I think we should have come up with we're we're gonna have we have the Born of Discipline merch, but we're gonna start releasing podcast merch. And I think the first t-shirt we should release is is I'm producer Sean and I just shit the bed.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Or I just can't read people's names.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

I'm Sean and I can't read.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

I can't read.

SPEAKER_03 12:37

Or you go, or you go, and this is from a Simpson episode, you go, I am Sean, I am S M R T.

SPEAKER_01 12:44

SMRT?

SPEAKER_03 12:45

Yeah, smart.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

That's the joke.

SPEAKER_03 12:47

You get that? Anyway, so uh so this match, this match, some some WWE match aired on on Monday, May 19th on uh Monday Night Raw. Of course Monday, it's Monday Night Raw, AJ. What? The story between Baylor and McDonough has been building for months since the Judgment Day implosion. A street fight, no DQ, no count out, anything goes was the natural payoff. Now, I just love these headlines because it's written so factual, like this is what happened. And uh getting I've I've talked about this before, but I love watching wrestling with Ranger because there is no there's no world in his mind that this isn't real, and it's just un and he'll watch UFC with me, and can't like the the UF the WWE is way more entertaining.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

It's that it's that magic, man.

SPEAKER_03 13:44

Yeah, they they got it, man. Um the Irish wrestling community though is healing it up because Baylor's from Bray, okay? McDonough is from Dublin, two Irish wrestlers settling business in front of 18,000 Americans with a garbage can. It sounds like um what was that movie that Leonardo DiCaprio? Gangs in New York. It's like Gangs in New York, The Butcher. Man, that was such a great performance by Daniel Delius. Um, what's the internet's thoughts on this? And I know that I gotta tell you, when I the matches I've been to with my kids, the fans are like they they're drinking the Kool-Aid. And I love it. I'm I'm I'm here for it. I'll go there and I will, I will, I'll get weird.

SPEAKER_01 14:28

Yeah, so wrestling Twitter X is calling it the spot of the week, partly because it's a genuinely creative finish, and partly because seeing a grown man penned inside of a trash can was just inherently funny. And Baylor's entrance remixes are already out.

SPEAKER_03 14:41

Two Irish lads, one garbage can, one coupe de grasse. That's not a match, that's a Tuesday in Bray. Honestly, if you grew up Irish, okay, this is just someone settling an argument in a normal way. Okay. The trash can is just where you put them afterwards. Right? It's true. It's like there's there's like it's called a Donnybrook, like a fight in the night. Like a Donnybrook, a town brawl. Um, all right, number eight. What do we got?

SPEAKER_01 15:13

The CDC dropped an official health alert network advisory last week, number 528, about the Huntavirus cases tied to a specific cruise ship operating in the Antarctic region. Eight cases, three deaths. It sounds terrifying. Now, the part that TikTok Doomers left out is the CDC explicitly says U.S. travelers face extremely low risk. Why just US travelers? Why? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:39

Why is that because we're goddamn American? Why? I know communist virus. Ain't no hunt the bear's gonna get us. Uh I I don't know. I mean, look, it is like you hear any type of virus or anything, we just go into such like PTSD from COVID. And I think to a lot of people, like, as soon as they heard this thing, they're like, I I I don't care. They're like, I am not doing that again. Fear mongering. Yeah, they're there, but they were just like, I'm not, I'm not gonna, we're not conform, can what you know, whatever happened. And look, it was like everybody did the right thing in the best that they could with in there for that, because they're like, We'll be shut down for two weeks. And then when it started going through, people are like, I mean, it was just it, it just messed up too many things. So people now are just very guarded over this. It's it's you you gotta, you know, and you and you don't want to be too up at where like you feel like it's you know, it's like the boy who cried wolf. It's like, another haunted virus, another this, and then people like, God forbid there is anything that is serious, people are like, nah, not gonna do it, and then it's terrible. So, you know, um I'm just glad that it's it seems like it's uncovered. But I read it was like this has been around for a while. Like, this is not a new virus, like in Argentina or something like that. So, um, and the straight this strain is like the Andes virus native to South America. Yeah, yeah. Um, hontivirus does not transmit person to person under normal circumstances. Antivirus is the rare exception where limited to person-to-person spread has been documented in specific outbreaks, which is like okay, it's like it's been documented you uh win the lottery or get hit by lightning. You know, the CD risk assessment for U.S. travelers is explicitly extremely low. Um advisories exist to brief U.S. healthcare providers on differential diagnosis if returning traveler from that region presents with rapid respiratory symptoms. I'll tell you what, if you were coming back and you're on a plane and someone's like coughing beside you, like that's that's where I would have a panic attack. Like I would I I would freak out. Um, that's the show. Thanks for watching, kids. Um, what's the internet reaction?

SPEAKER_01 17:52

Yeah, so the cruise industry forums are circulating, and the CDC advisory is proof that the system works. Early detection, public notices, and contained outbreaks. But if you doom scroll TikTok, it's doing the opposite, framing every CDC advisory as evidence of the next pandemic. The truth is between them and leans heavily the truth is between them and leans heavily towards the calm side.

SPEAKER_03 18:14

Calm the whirlwinds of your mind, TikTok.

SPEAKER_04 18:16

Get yourself a ghost bed.

SPEAKER_03 18:18

Yeah, get yourself a ghost bed. Yeah. Um, so eight cases, three deaths on a specific boat in Antarctica. The CDC wrote it down so doctors know what to look for. That's a system functioning if your group chat is sharing the TikTok and not the CDC PDF. Switch the order.

SPEAKER_01 18:40

Fun fact, I wouldn't trust CDC or TikTok for my information.

SPEAKER_03 18:44

No, I would only trust who. I don't know. It's hard to get good sources. So it's always funny when my mom comes downstairs because she lives with us, and she'll like the algorithm just eats her up and just sends her like the world is ending, and she'll come downstairs and she's like, Hey, did you see what's happening? I'm just like, What?

SPEAKER_02 19:08

Oh, there's a terrible people are dying everywhere. That's the end of it. I'm like, mom, take your breath.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

I don't think that's happening. She's like, no. And then I'm like, I'm like, what's what's like if there was like a storm or something, her first storm here. She's like, there's a hurricane coming. I was like, is there mom? And she's like, as destruct is the it's she's like, it's all the news videos are absolutely destruction everyone. Like I go upstairs, they're showing video from like Hugo, and she thinks that's what's happening.

SPEAKER_01 19:40

I'm telling you, uh, my family as well, that I guess there was a point in time, and like my parents' generation, they still believe that you could not show it on TV if it wasn't true. And I'm telling you, this AI generation, these fake news articles is wrecking. Oh, yeah. Like, I get a call every day from one of my parents, like, did you see this? And I'm like, it's like a 400-foot shark in Myrtle Beach. I'm like, that's AI, that's not real.

SPEAKER_03 20:09

Yeah, I would, I would uh and it's rough.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

I get it. I mean, seeing is believing, yeah, or used to be.

SPEAKER_03 20:16

Yeah, I if I saw a 400-pound shark too, I would um, I would uh defecate for sure in the ocean, which is actually cool. I remember doing that as a kid being pulled behind a boat. If you're at wakeboarding or whatever, you just like drop trout and say, go hit it, and you just let them rip fish food.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

You're just pooping out like that on a wakeboard?

SPEAKER_03 20:35

Well, you're underwater. Oh, I thought you were like standing. And then you know, you got some uh you got some some uh some rainbow trout that come in and just uh get a little get a little munchie munchie.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

I want you to know don't do that shit in America. Don't don't do that, yeah. Don't do that here.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

Don't do that sh in America.

SPEAKER_01 20:55

Yeah, don't do that here.

SPEAKER_03 20:57

I only did that as a kid. I don't do that as an adult.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

Yeah, yeah. We'll we'll send you back.

SPEAKER_03 21:02

Yeah. Um, all right, what do we got? Number seven, the headline. What do we what is it? We feel the clock ticking, don't we? It's almost summertime, which means pool parties, beach, all of the madness. You've taken the foot off of gas a little bit because you haven't had to rip the shirt off in front of anybody, right? You don't want to be the dad in the neighborhood that's got them no titties. No, no, no. You want to be jacked. So, what I would recommend is you go see my friends at PRX. Now, as a listener of the AJ Buckley show, get a little gift. If you go to aj.prx.co, you get 50% off your labs out of the gates. They'll dial you in. They know everything about hormone replacement, all the stuff just in time for summer for you to get absolutely shredded. Go to aj.prx.co, get your beach body on for daddy. If you get a truck or you do off-roading, do any sort of add-ons to some sort of pavement princess that you might have, I highly recommend going to Total Off-Road. I go to the one here in Charleston and I go see Dan and TJ and the rest of the crew there. They are the best people in the world to do anything, any modifications, any build on your four-wheeler that you have. We all work really hard for our money. And what we want at the end of the day is quality service. It's a huge honor to have them, one of the sponsors of the show. I'm forever grateful for all the work that they do. Go check out Total Off-Road. They are all across the country. Anything to do with off-roading, those are your guys.

SPEAKER_01 22:38

The headline is Hubble caught a chaotic baby planetary system nicknamed Dracula's Chivito. And astronomers say it's rewriting how we think planets form. The Hubble Space Telescope just dropped one of the weirdest images in its 36-year history. A young star with a wildly chaotic proto-planetary disc around it. And the astronomers studying it gave it the unofficial nickname Dracula's Chivito. And Chivito.

SPEAKER_03 23:03

If you look up what Dracula's Chivito means, it means Dracula's dick.

SPEAKER_01 23:07

Actually, a Chivito, by the way, is a Uruguayan steak sandwich. That's that's so we're talking about Dracula's sandwich in space.

SPEAKER_03 23:16

So, and then what's a sandwich?

SPEAKER_01 23:18

It's not a dick.

SPEAKER_03 23:19

It's Dracula's dick.

SPEAKER_01 23:20

We don't all eat dicks, DJ.

SPEAKER_03 23:24

Thank God. Eat a bag of dicks. Um let's so uh okay. So this thing on May 12th, science study drawing a peer-reviewed paper, Hubble uh imagined a young stellar object surrounded by a pro planetary disc, the cloud of gas and dust where new planets form. Um why it matters is every model of uh planet formation assumes relatively calm disk dynamics, right? This system is is opposite though. Um if it turns out to be common, the picture of how planets and and solar systems like ours Well, that uh actually form may they might mean adjusting, and that's okay. Like that's that like that's how science is. Like people are like, oh, it's like no, that's you find out new evidence and you adjust accordingly. It's like, you know, that's that's uh that's the way it goes. So what's the what's the internet saying?

SPEAKER_01 24:15

Yeah, so Twitter and YouTube are eating this up. The nickname alone is doing half the work, and then the image is striking enough. That's non-science accounts are sharing it. NASA's outreach team will be milking Dracula's Chivito for the next two years of merch.

SPEAKER_03 24:29

Oh, timeout. See, if you put Dracula's dick and you say that sentence again, just say that sentence again.

SPEAKER_01 24:35

NASA's outreach team will be milking Dracula's dick for the next two years of merch.

SPEAKER_04 24:42

Oh, one fork. Ah, ah, ah, ah, two forks. Ah, ah, ah, three forks. I want to suck your blood.

SPEAKER_03 24:51

Suck something, Dracula, you dirty dog you. Um, so they found a baby solar system shaped like a sandwich and named it after Dracula. That's the kind of week we've had, Sean. You know, these are the things that people are staying up at night. The universe is is weirder than a group chat. You know, it really is. We're all just passengers. We're all just here for the show. All right, number six, what do we got?

SPEAKER_01 25:16

Two weeks ago, we told you the clipping economy was coming for the entire creator world. You know what clipping is, right? Those are those fancy little bougie reels we do.

SPEAKER_03 25:26

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's no, it's insane. It's like it's it's it's it's I I read that article in Variety.

SPEAKER_01 25:32

Yeah. So Variety ran a feature called Clipping a Real Career Path. NPR published the actual pay rates, and kickstreamer Neon just disclosed he paid $1.4 million to 303 clippers over three months. It's no longer a side hustle.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

So James Crane, his variety reel, um, sports producer and creator James Crane posted on Instagram Reel, uh, breaking down varieties feature on clipping economy. I watched this and was kind of blown away by it. The trade publication framing clipping as a legitimate scale creator economy, not a fad. And then NPR's feature on clipping economy, documented current market rates as a dollar per thousand views. Holy geez, some of these guys are getting like 50, 60 million views. That's insane. Uh, so a thousand views for MLB clips, $25 per 1,000 views for product clips. Polymarker paying 50 cents per 1,000 views against a $70,000 budget. Platforms are simultaneously boosting short form clips while cracking down on spammy duplicate pages. See operators are making real money. Awesome. See, this is great. Okay, this is this is awesome. So, I mean, I look, if if you're a kid nowadays, and with the way that the internet works, I mean, these kids are just absolutely, you know, if you know how to run AI and edit, like you've got you've got a chance to really make some FU money and uh and put it away and be smart with it. Don't go buy a Lamborghini. That's something I would do.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

Yeah, so the creator economy Twitter is treating the variety piece as the legitimization moment when a 110-year-old trade publication writes it up, it's no longer a fringe. The neon number broke containment outside the streamer world entirely. Mainstream business accounts are also sharing it, and the conversation has shifted from is this a thing to how do I get my brand in.

SPEAKER_03 27:30

Yeah, I mean, we go through it too with our stuff and just seeing what wheels hit and what wheel doesn't. And it's it's it's there's a real science to it.

SPEAKER_01 27:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:38

And I think too, it I I I don't know exactly, but I think if you use if there's not like a human touch to the editing, YouTube will, if it's just all AI, it will recognize that.

SPEAKER_01 27:50

Yeah, it's all engagement too. It's all about what your eye follows, what you hear, what you see.

SPEAKER_03 27:56

Um well, here's the takeaway for everybody listening who's got a brand or wants one, Neon, who's a YouTuber, paid out $1.4 million to clippers. And it's only 303 of them. Two of them cleared 80 grand each. And meanwhile, the platforms pay you pennies for the same views on your own face. So I'm just telling you, the uh the economy moved. If you're if you're running merch or podcast, a product, you know, and you're not at least pricing out what clipping uh what a clipping campaign costs, you're already behind, right? Read the uh FTC rules. Disclosure. Disclosure. Um, yeah, read the FTC rules, disclose your sponsors, but get in the room.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

Number five. Number five. WrestleMania 42, night one, Saturday in Vegas. Six man tag, your boyfriend, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and iShow Speed.

SPEAKER_03 29:02

Oh, so iShow Speed's coming back.

SPEAKER_01 29:04

Of course, dude.

SPEAKER_03 29:05

There's gotta be that kid is just that's another guy that's just like he's the isn't he the most popular.

SPEAKER_01 29:11

I think he's like the highest grossing Twitch streamer.

SPEAKER_03 29:13

I think it's Twitch, and I think too, which like he he which is ironic, he is really fast.

SPEAKER_01 29:19

Like he he Yeah, I like his content. He was I I like the flag football thing they just did with fanatics a while back, yeah. With um Tom Brady and Logan Paul.

SPEAKER_03 29:26

Yeah, that was their that was their event.

SPEAKER_01 29:29

Yeah, they like put it on. Yeah, yeah, his stuff's really good. I um I'm not a real big Twitch guy or really big into YouTubers at all.

SPEAKER_03 29:36

But I I I feel like I should get into Twitch. I just playing video games, right, and talking to people.

SPEAKER_01 29:40

It's not all video games, man. I met that we have a really big DJ here that I did an interview with, and he kind of blew up on Twitch because Twitch does something called um, I think it's called raids. I may be saying this wrong, but basically, if you have a group of people following your content and he's a DJ and he's doing like Friday night things, and you have a friend group and say your event's about to end, you can raid someone else so you can send all of your viewers to another person's channel. So if you become friends in a like with other yeah, other podcasters, say we're doing a live podcast on Twitch and we're about to end, and we send them all over to Tansy. Yeah, you know, that's it's very Tansy. Yeah. So I mean, Twitch is a really great platform, it's a whole new animal.

SPEAKER_03 30:23

Let me ask this the viewers at home, put in the comments, do you think we should do some live uh podcast? Would you guys like to see some live stuff here at the AJ Buckley Studio? That'd be cool. And two, would you guys would you like me to uh uh play some video games? I'm terrible at it, but uh I I would I would choose uh a day or night to go um play some Call of Duty. And I don't know if you guys have uh got to check out the Barry, Barry Sloan, Captain Price. Captain Price. That was a great podcast. Uh and uh what a journey he's been on. But uh anyway, so yeah, if you if you if you want the old AJ Buckley to come and and play some video games, I'm done. I do want to, I do want to, this is what I do want to do. I want to go play some airsoft. I've never played, and I was supposed to go over to Dubai, um, but the award started, so they they canceled it. But I I want to go play some airsoft. So if you're listening to this, reach out to Sean and uh we we want to come shoot some content and play some airsoft with you, studs. Um all right, so the uh that's this that's this Saturday, right? Correct. May 16th, Las Vegas. Um, very cool. So the vision and speed is a split storyline, right? It's something you can sell to to Logan's impulsive audience, to Speed's IG fan base, which is massive, and to the traditional WWE fans simultaneously. And I think they all kind of live within that ecosystem, especially since Logan Paul has come over. And I think it's cheesiness, man. It's like people that are recognizing how powerful these and how much traction these uh influencers have, I think it's great, man. It's like just, you know, there's enough food at the table for everybody to eat. And if you're willing to go out there and hustle and get after it, God bless you, man. You should be uh you should be rewarded. So what's the what's the internet reaction?

SPEAKER_01 32:12

Yeah, I think the vision speed split is the storyline of the year. Um Speed's Instagram fan base doesn't fully understand what a heel turn is yet, but knows their guy just got betrayed, and then Logan Paul's audience is celebrating, but the Clippers are eating, man.

SPEAKER_03 32:28

So this is where the Clippers make.

SPEAKER_01 32:29

Dude, we had a real takeoff because of this. I mean, yeah, we're eating, bro.

SPEAKER_03 32:34

Yeah, but we didn't get any money for it. Right. Well, this is this is my sort of closing remarks on on this, you know. The vision turned on speed, okay? That's a storyline. That's that's the year. WWE just used a YouTube streamer to bridge the entire product to a new generation, and they did it in one match. Okay. The kid is the bridge. Logan was the trapdoor. That's professional in wrestling. Welcome back, speed. We'll see you on the babyface side, buddy. All right, what do we got?

SPEAKER_01 33:14

Number four, Pentagon UFO Arc, latest chapter. Jeremy Corbell, the documentary filmmaker who's been front and center of this whole disclosure thing, is on stage at a UFO conference with Matt Borland, the partner of UAP whistleblower Jake Barber. Corbell asks Borland to talk about something called Project Rubik's Cube, and then Borland's face drops on video. In front of the audience, he says, quote, I am not in a SCIF and I am not going to jail.

SPEAKER_03 33:43

So, um, well, yeah, that that's I mean, there's so many weird things going with UFOs and science things that are happening with scientists, and you know.

SPEAKER_01 33:51

Again, it feels like everyone's just scared to just say it. It's like, just show us the Polaroids. Show us what happened at the Oval Office with the little Grays.

SPEAKER_02 34:00

Yeah, the little Grays.

SPEAKER_01 34:04

We know Clinton was up to something.

SPEAKER_03 34:07

I wonder if like I don't know why I just thought this, but this is the way my brain works. You remember in like the movie Trolls where that one troll sneezes and like a sparkly cupcake comes out?

SPEAKER_01 34:21

Yeah, I got the same problem.

SPEAKER_03 34:23

Like, what happens if like they can do cool stuff like that? They're like, like a crispy cream comes out of their butt. And they're like, and it's like it's and it it doesn't look disgusting. You're like, hey, my my man, my little gray friend, I'm bringing you to every party, and you're gonna get some I'm gonna get some gassing, I'm gonna shake you, so you get a little bubby bubby, and you're gonna you're gonna sp you're gonna fart out some donuts from my friends.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

Well, did you see you saw the reports where they fired on a few of them and then like they weren't being hostile until they got were shot at and then they like let out a blinding light and turned them to stone? What? Like turned like a whole unit of special forces to stone?

SPEAKER_03 34:58

I think you're stoned.

SPEAKER_02 35:00

What? No.

SPEAKER_01 35:00

No, yeah. No, this is this is like something I this is what happens when you special operations team got turned to stone. Yeah, I think it was like an Argentina or something. It wasn't like I don't know if it was a U.S.

SPEAKER_03 35:10

Argentina have even special operations?

unknown 35:12

I don't know, dude.

SPEAKER_03 35:12

I think I think the farmer who was up in the hills might have been stoned, and then he saw a statue and he's like, I swear that guy was moving before the little gray man showed up. So um, well, I'm I'm uh it's interesting. Again, it just continues to each week there's a new one, and I feel like um we're getting less and less closer to what it is and more weighed down with confusion. So um I don't know. I don't know what uh what's the what's Twitter say about all this?

SPEAKER_01 35:44

Yeah, UFO disclosure has been replaying the real frame by frame since Saturday, and then Joe Rogan circles are using it as the moment that proves there's more to come. Skeptics are pointing out that Borland never confirmed the project exists, but they have to admit his reaction wasn't acting.

SPEAKER_03 35:59

Listen, I don't I don't know what Project Rubik's Cube is, okay, and neither do you. Um, but I know what someone's face look like when they almost want to say something, but they shouldn't, you know? And that's the face, uh, that's the face Borderland made right there for sure. We're three weeks into the Pentagon dropping these these files, and the stories just they just keep getting weirder and weirder. I mean, whatever they're protecting, they're still protecting it. Okay, it isn't like there's you know, they they sent out the files and everything was still redacted. Like we're disclose we were talking about this disclosure day, and then you open it up and it's just all black.

SPEAKER_01 36:35

You're like, guys, can we just they're gonna drop their own subscription app soon? It's gonna be like Paramount Plus Plus UFO.

SPEAKER_03 36:42

Yeah, and you know, the uh I'm not gonna, you know, the I'm not gonna go to jail line is just some it's just this part like you just can't unsee. So um all right, well, we're getting into the top, the top three. Okay, but now before we get to the top three, let's uh talk about who we have on the podcast for Monday. For next Tuesday.

SPEAKER_01 37:04

Yeah, do you want to release this yet? Are you excited?

SPEAKER_03 37:06

Yeah, dude, I am so excited. This was so drum roll.

SPEAKER_01 37:12

Yeah, I'm excited for this next guest, AJ. Yeah, you took a little trip for this one too.

SPEAKER_03 37:16

I went down to Nashville, Tennessee, and uh I got to sit down with Mr. Jack Carr, the New York Times bestseller of the terminal list. And um it was awesome. I knew Jack, I met Jack season one, and he's just an outstanding individual, but I'm a huge fan of his books. It's actually in our podcast studio over there. Um I've got one of his cases. He always sends like the most detailed uh uh when he the when you get a book from him um before it comes out. It's just like all the coins and stuff, but he he is the intelligence on on him, I like and is his next level. He's I think he's written 14 books, you know, it's almost two books a year. There's he's got the show that's doing really well. There was Dark Wolf and uh um the one with uh Chris Pratt, um, the terminalist one, and it's awesome. Like they're just and he's got this new book that's come out that goes, you know, sort of time jumps back into I believe it was Vietnam era, but he's the he's one of the nicest guys. It was such an honor. I definitely did my homework like as much as possible because I just knew what a moment was. And I'm just so grateful that he uh he took the time to to come hang out. But I was uh we flew in and uh we're there for the day. Yeah, he's on a busy podcast. Yeah, he was on he was he was on a huge tour through through through national. Frankly, huge. It was a big thing. So um I very much appreciate it, and I am so excited for you guys to hear Jack Carr this coming Tuesday. Um, all right, so let's get in the top three.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

Number three, the Trevi Fountain, one of the most famous monuments in Rome, has stood since 1762. And this week a 30-year-old tourist decided to use it as a swimming pool. He strips down, dives in, and starts doing laps. And the Italian police show up. They tell him to get out and he keeps swimming. 500 euros and about $600, fine. And honestly, he's probably thinks he just got a deal.

SPEAKER_03 39:22

Wow. Okay, let's let's take a look at this really quick. I mean, that's that's a pretty agent. Like, I get it, but that's pretty disrespectful. I'm not gonna lie. I hate when the YouTubers stop doing stuff for Shaka, because it just, you know, like that to somebody that's like, you know, their you know, their family deck did that or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 39:41

I just don't, I don't, it's just is there something wrong with this guy?

SPEAKER_03 39:46

Uh he jumped in a fountain.

SPEAKER_01 39:47

Oh, he just got something weird with his arm. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03 39:49

I don't know. No, he jumped he he jumped in a fountain. Um it's not bad, but I'm I actually went there on the last trip I took my mom and my dad for their 29th uh wedding anniversary. Um it was actually close to almost a year to the day just before he died. So I'm very grateful I got to take them on their like surprised them, took them on this trip. We went there for three weeks and we went to all these cool places. It was a place that my mom and dad both wanted to go, but it was one of the best, like Italy, man. If uh if we have any listeners from Italy, drop uh ciao bella in the uh in the comments because I love your country. It is Italy is just awesome. I love Italy. But um, yeah, man. I mean, this is what I'll tell you. Just respect those. Like I would that's I don't I don't condone any of the the shock value for clicks and likes to disrespect. I just I'm just I just don't get it. I'm like, yeah, it's you know, but the there's some stuff that you just don't do, you know. And uh anyways, that I can't believe that's top three. That's crazy. Um, what's the internet saying?

SPEAKER_01 40:54

Yeah, the internet's using this as a clip that just basically is like, don't be a tourist, by the way. And Italian creator accounts are celebrating the police's patience, and then the Irish humor angle writes itself somewhere in Dublin, there's a lad watching this thinking, I could have done it for half the fine and twice the laps. That is true.

SPEAKER_03 41:11

That is true. I mean, 500 euros to swim in the most famous fountain in the world. Okay, honestly, I I I get it. But if if you're gonna do something stupid on vacation, that might be the cheapest one in the menu, just don't do it, just stop, right? But the Irish part of my brain has to admit it's not the worst trade he's ever made. All right, we're in the top two. The top two of this week's most viral moments. What do we have?

SPEAKER_01 41:41

Number two Ichikawa Zoo, just outside of Tokyo. Two Americans, a 24-year-old call shoot and a 27-year-old singer, show up to the zoo in a costume. One of them puts on the costume and climbs into the monkey enclosure and starts doing the punch monkey meme that the internet thing punch monkey meme. That's the internet thing where you pretend to fight the animals, and the other one films it. The Japanese police arrest both of them and charge them with, and I cannot believe this is a real charge, forcible obstruction of business.

SPEAKER_03 42:13

So I don't understand again. This goes back to the YouTube thing. Like, for you're getting inside a uh a wild animal's cage, like yeah, just stop doing dumb stuff. No, no, but I but I get like you're getting into like like first of all, monkeys. You ever seen Outbreak? Okay, that was a cute little little monkey, and then it bit bit, and you know, then it turned into then it turned into Dustin Hoffman saving the world. But yeah, I mean, come on, man. This is someone's and he's so the did the guy did I read this right? There they dressed up in a monkey suit. So but what did it say? It's like it's a vi like you're you're you're is that a thing now? Like people dress up in and jump in animal enclosures at the zoo? Because whoever started that thing and then like this is viral, let's all go do that. Like that's not good. What is it exactly? But go go go back there. So uh cause enclosure punch. Oh so yeah, what is this? So the me pretending to throw a punch at the animals. See, that's stupid. That's it, like that. You want to throw a pun? Okay, move on. This is stupid. I can't believe this is it's so funny what is makes it to the top. And this is like actual factual things that are the top trending things of the week. So, I mean, you traveled to Japan, one of the most polite countries on earth, put on a monkey costume, broke into a zoo enclosure, and got charged with forcible obstruction of business. That's not a vacation. That's a sketch, a writer's room throughout, okay? Because it's stupid. Don't bother the animals. Like, seriously, leave the animals. Animals are the the best furry little just let them be. We're already got them locked up in a zoo, like you know, and then you climb into their space. Like That's where you are like, I hope it eats your dick.

SPEAKER_01 44:02

Yeah, and if you really want views on YouTube, just start your own podcast and start calling people idiots for everything else they do. That's what I just did. That's what we do. That's what we do on the AJ Buffy show.

SPEAKER_03 44:12

Unfiltered Friday, if you dress in a monkey suit, you're an idiot. Oh man. Okay, this one's very near and dear to my heart. Number one this week. What is it, Sean?

SPEAKER_01 44:25

Yeah, we're gonna close the close with this on the show. Uh pancreatic cancer stage four. The diagnosed nobody wants to hear, and one of the worst five-year survival rate in oncology. Just got a three-year breakthrough updates published in the same week. NPR ran the whole piece on May 12th, three different angles, all of them moving the needle. We want to leave you with this because everyone listening either knows someone who has lost someone or fears the call.

SPEAKER_03 44:50

Well, I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer, and you know, there's uh I'm very grateful that I got to spend the time I did with my dad when he was going because I don't know how it would have been if if he just died suddenly. So the time that I got to spend with him in in that last four weeks was incredibly special and very um it gave me it didn't give me closure, but it it just helped because we just talked a lot about things in life and um I'll never forget that. I'm very, very grateful for that. But yeah, I I prayed so hard and it made me actually really angry at God that they took my dad. Um uh that he was that he, you know, for years. I've talked about this before. I walked away from my faith and everything because of this pancreatic cancer, and it is a vicious. My dad was this jacked, you know, tough little Irishman, and he died at like he was like 70 pounds, like he was just he was just crazy. You could only recognize my dad because he had he had blue eyes. But um so the fact that we're finally seeing breakthroughs because it makes me crazy, like chemotherapy and radiation is is so barbaric. And there's all these secondary things that can happen with you know the treatments that cancer can come back and all that sort of thing, and you're like, it just kicks it's not even so much the disease, it's sometimes the treatment is like is horrible. So I'm really grateful that there's a breakthrough on this and and and there's hope for people. Um, because with pancreatic cancer, too, there's you can't get like, you know, when my dad was like it might have changed, you you can't go and get like uh um markers, like there's no, it's like when you find out they they kind of find out by process of elimination. That's how they did with my dad. They're like they thought it was like his liver, his kidneys, and then by the time they found it was the uh the the pancreas, it was it was too late. Um his eyes went kind of yellowy and his skin looked really weird. So um, what is the uh public reaction?

SPEAKER_01 46:50

Yeah, so cancer survivor accounts and oncology communities have been sharing the MPR piece all week, and the mRNA vaccine angle is the only one that's broken into mainstream. It's the same technology that built the COVID vaccines, but now it's custom built for individual tumors, and the early data is real. Um, faith, Twitter and Science, Twitter, and every family who's been through this are also sharing it for the same reason. Somebody they love is going to benefit from this.

SPEAKER_03 47:15

Well, I'm I'm incredibly this this uh this is a good way to end the top 10 because what the things that were making the headlines before the guy in the monkey suit and whatever that other one.

SPEAKER_01 47:27

I mean, that's just not worth even sharing.

SPEAKER_03 47:28

No, because then there's there's people out there, there's scientists that are, you know, all that money that we raise, and I always go like, where's this money going? Why are we not getting breakthroughs? Like we can um land people on the moon, allegedly, and um do all these other things, and we haven't made breakthroughs. I mean, Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer too. I thought for sure when he was dying, like because he had so much money that we would, but again, it's it's cancers. It's uh it's an it's a thing, and it's it's uh pancreatic cancer, it's just it was so vicious. So um if anybody's out there going through it, man, uh hopefully you can get um here maybe this hear you and you can get point to the right direction and uh um your prayers will be answered. So yeah, so that's the that's the top ten, man. I mean to finish on a pancreatic cancer seems like a downer, but it's not because there's hope. And I'm a big believer. Like, look, let's just say, as long as you see the sunrise, there's you know, you know God's got a plan for you. And thank God for the trial patience, because I'm sure there was people that you know were the guinea pigs who said yes. And uh you know, we're asking God for for new stories every week on this show. So this week, the scientists, they they they answered back. Um, and uh whoever you are out there, whatever scientist, like whatever kids and and things are thinking about going into scientists, like going to science, and especially with the help of AI, that's a like buy that guy. Have you ever run into that scientist that that came up with this? Free drinks if I see you, buddy. Free drinks for sure. And Sean just gave me, he held up a sign that said, I will rub your back with coconut oil, you dirty little scientist. That's what he just wrote on a on a. I mean, I I couldn't just make that up. Yeah, he has a board and he he likes to draw things. He's he's really he's good at drawing. So Sean wants to uh lube up the scientist that cured pancreatic cancer. So if you're out there, leave a drop in the comments and uh Sean's your guy. Um what do we got coming out this weekend? Theaters in the theatre. Do you know what's so funny why is it when English people when they say theater? Like you they could be talking about a question. You're over in England and someone's like, you know, and uh we're gonna go um for dinner and then we're gonna go doata. I never there wasn't like the theater.

SPEAKER_01 49:55

How do Irish people say theater?

SPEAKER_03 49:57

SPEAKER_01 51:07

He did a great job re-imagining his career because I think a lot of people fall into those first roles. But he did good. I like him as an actor.

SPEAKER_03 51:17

I feel like he has like, you know, for the people who have kids out there, like when he was on Twilight, I feel like you know when you your kid, you wouldn't hear it or smell it yet, but you'd look at them and they had that face like they just like crapped in their diaper, and they're like, they're com that confused, like that look. Robert Panterson did that face the entire 17 Twilight movies. I was like, did he does anybody in Wardroom want to like go check his pants because he looks like he just dropped a dudes in the pants with six hours of body glitter, they couldn't afford to change him. Yeah, and he he him and Count Dracula can, you know, can go look at the star and look at Dracula's dick, that dirty little Robert Pantison.

Have you ever got a chance to work with Tom Cruise?

SPEAKER_03 52:38

SPEAKER_01 52:49

I wonder if the Apple box rumor is true. If like or platform shoes, Apple Box, the f I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 52:55

He's the last, he's the last real movie star. There'll be no one ever like him. What he's done, like he knows how to flight fighter jets and dude.
