Die Influencers Die

Kill her, she's already dead.

So full of ego.

So poisoned with arrogance.

Blood, blood, more blood.

Welcome to the podcast.

Today we have a very special guest.

Max Gerhardt.

Max is one of Las Vegas' most brilliant creative directors.

And today, we're going to talk about

social media influencers,

and I'm wondering how this is affecting

advertising and marketing.

Well it's great.

I can target exactly who I want.

I can make these buyers buy anything.

I can shove the product so far down their throat,

that they'll puke up their money.

And how do I do this, Ruger?

Influencers.

They are the direct line to the sheep

that are following them.

But Max, don't you worry sometimes,

that these influencers are sending the wrong message?

I mean, they're saying things like,

you've gotta wear these clothes or you're a loser.

Or buy this product or you're a loser.

Or you've gotta ride your mountain bike over this cliff edge

or you're a loser.

I mean, this is a very new trend,

but it seems to be very dangerous to me.

Stop, I really don't give a damn.

Materialism is where it's at.

Designer clothes, jewelry, hair makeup, whatever.

I'm not selling spirituality, incense,

or enlightenment here.

I'm selling fucking products.

I don't give a shit about your kid's mental health either.

Go see a shrink after you buy my products.

Tomorrow, I got this shoot in the desert,

for some designer jewelry line.

My model, a little bit on the older side.

She was super-famous at one point,

but now, social media followers?

Not that many.

This will be the last time I hire her.

After this, she's dead.

Come on, Max, that's pretty brutal.

Welcome to the new shit.

This shoot is a piece of shit.

You can't even see her jewelry.

Hot shoot.

Thank you.

No, I mean it's hot.

Fucking hundred degrees.

Yes yes, it's a hundred degrees.

So I noticed you don't have

a lot of social media followers.

Not my thing.

Well it should be.

The day's coming where it'll be everything.

What do you mean?

You almost didn't get this gig.

The agency doesn't think you are popular enough.

But I pushed for you.

Well thank you.

But what?

If you don't have a lot of followers, you're nothing.

Well that's harsh.

You wait.

In a few years, if you don't have at least

a half a million followers, you won't get gigs.

You'll be nothing, it's like you won't exist.

Are you serious?

Too bad for them, too bad for you.

You'll be irrelevant.

But I can change that for you.

A few extra favors, I can get you over a million followers.

Max, your hand is on my leg, and I didn't ask for that.

Look, just come over to my place,

once a week for a while.

We'll have a great time, and it'll be a lot of fun.

Spend the night, I'll get you a following.

I'll put the marketing department on it.

For you.

Okay so let me get this straight.

So, I come over to your place,

fuck you once a week,

and you get me followers.

No Max, I will not fuck you for a million followers.

Here, let me fix this for you.

Thank you.

I gotta ask you.

What's with this clown costume?

Um, Max has a clown fetish I think.

That's really weird.

Yeah, yeah.

I fucking hate clowns.

The shower should be free now

if you want to get all that dust off.

I'm gonna head home.

All right, see you later, Moxie.

See you soon.

What the fuck?

Max, is that you?

Fuck!

What the fuck is going on?

Ssh, don't you fucking look at me.

What the fuck are you doing?

What the fuck is that?

No no no, my beloved clown.

Ssh, she didn't mean it.

You didn't mean it, did you?

No no I didn't mean it.

Fucking slut!

It's too late for you.

No fear, Moxie.

I'm from the other side.

You're gonna die, Moxie.

I don't want to die.

You're gonna be fine, Moxie.

I'm not taking you to the dark place.

But you need to make a choice.

Listen.

I will take you now.

I'll take you to the other world.

There's absolute love waiting for you.

Or remain here and seek revenge.

I want to live.

You're going to die, Moxie.

Choose.

Revenge.

What did you do, Max?

Her blood is all over the place.

Clean that shit up.

Hey Stue.

So we just broke twenty million followers.

You my friend, are officially the king.

Oh by the way, you know that supermodel you wanted to shoot?

She's out back right now.

Fuck yeah.

Stue Harrington, oh my God.

Why are you so surprised?

You signed up for this.

This is real?

This is real.
