1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Live from the Hartbeyer and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, welcome to Tony Katz Today. Tony is off. 4 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: I am Mike Coolidge in for Tony Katz. Our number 5 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: one and two in the books. Our number three is 6 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: upon us and I'm really not good at public math. 7 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: Ours what eight nine, seven, ten left in twenty twenty five? 8 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: That's right. You're listening to this on the final day 9 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: of the year, the final day of the first half 10 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: of the decade. And we've been talking at length on 11 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: the show about the ramifications of the Somali fraud and 12 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: what it means is anything going to come of it? 13 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: Most of us listening to this, I would say ninety 14 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: nine point nine percent of us do not live in Minnesota. 15 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: So it's like, oh, you know, well, who cares, it's 16 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: not our state. What do we matter? I live in Illinois. 17 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: I know many of you live in Indiana. Some of 18 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: you live in Illinois too, some of you live in 19 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: some other fine states that air Tony Katz today. But 20 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: this sort of fraud, I know it's a cliche, but 21 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: it's the tip of the iceberg. If we don't pay 22 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: attention to it. And most importantly, if the perpetrators aren't 23 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: punished for this, it with one hundred percent certainty, will 24 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: happen again. It will absolutely happen again if people get 25 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: it way with it right, That's the whole point. I mean, 26 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 2: it's it's it goes with anything. It's it's as old 27 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: as time, whatever whatever city you live in, whatever town 28 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: you live in. Let's say there's a Walgreens. If it 29 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 2: is become old hat that kids can go into that Walgreens, 30 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: steal whatever they want, walk out. They're not arrested, they're 31 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: not publicly shamed, they're not looked down upon by people 32 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: who catch them doing that. If there's no consequences whatsoever 33 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: to them stealing from a store, they're going to do 34 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: it again with one hundred percent certainty. So multiply that 35 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: five dollar candy bar or ten dollars you know, T 36 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: shirt or thirty dollars T shirt that they stole, or 37 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: personal hygi stuff times a million, tens of millions of dollars. 38 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: And you know, we played the clip of that woman 39 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: from Brazil who's an American citizen now, who talked about 40 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: this kind of thing that makes this kind of stuff 41 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: when nothing happens from it is the kind of stuff 42 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: that makes people just lose faith in the system. Why 43 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: are we even paying our taxes? I mean, today's the 44 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: last day of the year. If you're a independent contractor, 45 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: if you're a small business owner, if you're an employee, 46 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: if you're an employee er, this is the last day 47 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: where income is generated. Right, So you're if you're really 48 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: on the ball, maybe you'll start doing your taxes if 49 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: you think you're getting a refund back immediately to try 50 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: to get them done. If you know that you owe taxes, 51 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: you'll probably wait until you know the end of April 52 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: or the middle of April. I should say to fire 53 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: your taxes. But when you do that, you do this 54 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: calculation in your mind. That not a literal calculation. I 55 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: mean you'll do a lot of calculations the county stuff, 56 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: but I mean that, Okay, I'm sending this money to Washington, 57 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: d c. And to our state capital, and I trust 58 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: that they're being smart with that money. I trust that 59 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 2: they're not wasting it. I work hard for it, and 60 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: they're taking a huge chunk of it, giant chunk of 61 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 2: it ostensibly for good things, right things, to benefit the 62 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: rest of society maybe to benefit me, you know, a 63 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: highway that I drive on, or a school that my 64 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: kids go to, or help, you know, funding for a 65 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: hospital or for medical care for my parents, like those 66 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: sort of things, or protecting our country physically through the military. 67 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: You know, these are the sort of things that people 68 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: don't have a problem paying their taxes for when they 69 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: hear about this kind of stuff. And again, there's no 70 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: punishment for it like you would think, or I know 71 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: that there has been some punishment or exposure of it. 72 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: You know, some journalists accidentally maybe stumbled into this and 73 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 2: we're doing their jobs and exposed some of this stuff 74 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: in Minnesota, and some people have gone to jail already 75 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: for it, to be sure they have, but not enough 76 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: people have gone to jail. Not enough fear was instilled 77 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: in communities that said, oh my gosh, I better not 78 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: do any sort of shady stuff or I'm going to 79 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: go to jail or I'm going to get in trouble. 80 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: And this sort of thing goes on, and it happens again, 81 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: and you know, there's this meme. It's a online there's 82 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: circular arrows and it goes in a clockwise fashion and 83 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: the first arrow is the denial from the left about 84 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: this kind of stuff, is it's not happening. And then 85 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: the next arrow down you know that it's not happening, 86 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: is about at the at the two o'clock on the cock, 87 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: and then going clockwise about the four o'clock on the cock, it's, oh, 88 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: it's a right wing conspiracy. Not only is it not happening, 89 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: it's not. It's not it's a right wing conspiracy. And 90 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: then at about seven or eight on the clock on 91 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: the of the meme, the arrow says, well, it might 92 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: be happening, and then the eleven o'clock of the meme 93 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: is it's happening and it's good. And then it goes 94 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: back to it's not happening, it's not happening. It's the 95 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 2: right wing conspiracy theory. It might be happening, it is happening, 96 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 2: and it's good. It's not happening. Like that's the whole cycle. 97 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: And then none of it changes, none of it changes. 98 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: There was a reporter from Politico who again the people 99 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 2: running cover for this, this guy Josh Gernstein, tweeted or 100 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: he posted on x at some point the amateur effort 101 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 2: to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust 102 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: stand your ground laws. What do you think he meant 103 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: by that? A lot of people concluded again, I'll read 104 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: it again. What do you think somebody who posts this 105 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: means at some point the amateur effort to knock on 106 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: doors of home daycare centers talking about Nick Shirley, you know, 107 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: amateur journalist, but still a journalist knocking on the home 108 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: intersex with robust stand your ground laws? What or stand 109 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: your ground laws? Standard ground laws remove the duty to 110 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: retreat from a threat when a person is in a 111 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: place they have a legal right to be knocking on 112 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: the doors. This is what readers responded to this week 113 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: of a supposedly public business does not constitute a threat. 114 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: So stand your ground cannot be invoked here, as avent 115 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: what he's implying here when he was implying, or it's 116 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: it's reasonable to conclude what he was implying here is 117 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: that if there's some copycat that Nick Shirley types knocking 118 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: on doors of daycare centers, you know, public building saying hey, 119 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: I want to I want to register my kid here, 120 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: that he's gonna get shot, they will intersect with robust 121 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: stay on your ground law. It's robust, like you're almost 122 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: bragging about it, a little robust that they're going to 123 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: be shot. And somebody added to this meme, maybe we 124 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: can kill the people noticing it in circles. That's, you know, 125 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: a parody of this meme that, yeah, we need to 126 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: add that to it. They wake up a new entry 127 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: in the it's not happening meme just dropped. Maybe we 128 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: can unlive the people noticing it. So you have people 129 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: in our society. Forget about the fraudsters for a second. 130 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: Forget about the somaloigs, forget about even the incompetent buffoons 131 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 2: who hold office in Minnesota like Tim Walls, who pay 132 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: lip service to quote unquote cracking down on this stuff, 133 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: but clearly weren't cracking down on it enough because it's 134 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: still going on. It's not just them. There's people who 135 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 2: hold power in the in the world of journalism, people 136 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: who write for Politico, people who have huge followings on 137 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: x excusing all this and diminishing it. And again it's 138 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: for it's a circular thing, for it's not happening. It's 139 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: not happening. It's a right wing conspiracy. Oh oh, okay, 140 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: find it might be happening. You know what it's happening, 141 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: and it's good. It's one of those four things always 142 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: when bad stuff like this happens. And again, this is 143 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: how societ break down, when we stop looking at stuff 144 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: like that and saying this is wrong. You should be 145 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: ashamed for doing it. Now that you're caught, you're either 146 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: gonna go to jail or pay a huge fine and 147 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: be publicly shamed. In other words, consequences for you committing 148 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: these awful things doing these awful things. No, there are 149 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: no consequences, So it will continue. Is this ever gonna change? 150 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: That's a rhetorical question. I guess we will be right 151 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: back on Tony Kats today. I am Mike Coolidge. That's 152 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: spelled with a K in for Tony.

I 176 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: know it's been kind of serious stuff today, and it 177 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: seems like every time I'd fill in for Tony, there's 178 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: some serious stuff going on. But it is the end 179 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: of the year and there are predictions for twenty twenty 180 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: six out already Peachy Keenan a very funny poster on 181 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: X wrote a great piece connected on the old real 182 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 2: clear politics twenty six predictions for twenty twenty six. Some 183 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: of them are are legit. You know they're not all jokes. 184 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: And let's discuss some of them, shall we. Los Angeles 185 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: Mayor Karen Bass will easily win her twenty twenty six election, 186 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 2: which is in June, because it takes more than burning 187 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: down the nicest neighborhoods to wake up the millions of 188 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 2: idiots allowed to vote in California. Pecha Keening lives in California. 189 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: She will celebrate by taking a vacation to her happy place, Ghana. 190 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: If you remember, she was in Ghana the mayor of 191 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Karen Bass when the wildfires, the extreme wildfires, 192 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: were occurring. Number two California Governor Gavin Newsom will announce 193 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: he is running for president before his current term ends 194 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: in January of twenty twenty seven. He will announce his 195 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: run by going down the escalator at the San Francisco 196 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 2: Union Square train station, surrounded by toothless fetanol addicts. I 197 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: don't know if that last part is true, but I 198 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: do agree that he is going to announce. I also 199 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 2: heard and this is Fox News reported this, but you 200 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 2: know it's they're just reporting that packs exist. They haven't 201 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: actually announced. But there's four people who have very large 202 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 2: packs that indicate that they're going to be running for president. 203 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, Pete buddhaj Edge, Kamala Harris, and Alexandria A. 204 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: Cassio Corteshm. Those four the only one who has any 205 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 2: shot whatsoever at winning, and he's not going to win. 206 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: He he likely will win the primary, ID say Gavin 207 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: news He he has a he will likely win the primary. 208 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: If I were a which I am, I do not 209 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: think he's going to win the presidency because of the 210 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: insanely terrible job he's done as governor of California. The 211 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: only way he would win is through the kind of junk, stupid, illegal, 212 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: well not illegal in Minnesota, but should be illegal ways 213 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: that we vote here in too many states in this country, 214 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 2: which is the extreme early voting. The I can vouch 215 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: for an entire residence, you know, Senior Citizen Center, if 216 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: I work there, vouch for people. Basically you're voting for them, 217 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: saying oh yeah, I have a ballot here, I'm voting 218 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: for this person, I can vouch for them. Used to be, 219 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: you have to show up in person, show your idea, 220 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: and vote. One man, one vote. That's it. One woman, 221 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: one vote, that's it. In person, that's it. Unless you 222 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: live overseas and are in the military, or are a 223 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: federal worker overseas and have to file an absentee ballot, 224 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: that's it. You move to another state, you don't register 225 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: in the new state, you don't get to vote. No, 226 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: they made it so that you can register to vote 227 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: on election day and I put register in quote. Anyway, 228 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: I'm going off in a tangent here, but that's the 229 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: only way someone like Gavin Newsom is going to win 230 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: the actual presidency is through mass fraud, like that kind 231 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: of stuff above the books in a lot of states, 232 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: legal in a lot of states. But that kind of 233 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: junk is how he'll win. If he does win, I 234 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: don't think he's going to though. Number three peche Keenan 235 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: predicts that the Republicans will lose the House, but not 236 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: by that much and it won't matter too much of 237 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: the long run. The ones Hulus will mostly deserve it anyway. 238 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: Number four Taylor Swift will get married and then she 239 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: will get pregnant, or at least her surrogate will. She 240 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: started an engagement ring trend with her choice of cushion 241 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: cut in an antique setting. Chances are high she will 242 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: inspire at least a few fans to get pregnant too. 243 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: That's not a bad thing. Number five AI slop videos 244 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: will finally start looking better and it will get harder 245 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: to tell their AI, But longer form content and storytelling 246 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: using AI will not improve. But the lms, the llms, 247 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: I forget what it actually stands for, but it's talking 248 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: about like chatchibt grock Gemini. All of the AI they're 249 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: called lms. I don't even know what jet. I don't 250 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: know what the GPT stands for in chat either, but 251 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: everyone knows what you're talking about when you say chachipt. 252 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: Those things will figure out that they lose too many 253 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: M dashes and will start replacing the M dashes with 254 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: semi colins in an attempt to trick you. No one 255 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 2: knows how to use semi collins anymore, of course, so 256 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: this will be the dead giveaway. But the inability of 257 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: even the best AI to really reproduce human live action 258 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: filmed entertainment will lead to a rebirth of small indie 259 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: films starring humans and made by humans. AI, when used 260 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: at all, will simply replace CGI special effects. That's a 261 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: very positive prediction by Pech Keenan, and I hope she's right. 262 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 2: Justine Bateman, Yes, Mallory from Family Times for U gen Xers. 263 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: She has been my favorite new follow on X. She 264 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: rails against AI in film, and she has definitely become 265 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: right of center as she's gotten older, and she is 266 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: the type of person and she's a brilliant filmmaker and 267 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: I think she would be I predict she's going to 268 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: make some movie that is going to be a breakthrough, 269 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: huge hit by this kind of stuff, actual real people, 270 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: actual real human beings, real storytelling, not you know, AI stuff. 271 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 2: I'm not against AI all. I like a A. I 272 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: use rock multiple times an hour alone a day. But 273 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: there are certain things that's never going to be good 274 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: for and real life, real storytelling, real filmmaking. Let's let's 275 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: keep that to us, real humans, right, Number six prediction 276 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Oh now, this is kind of sad, 277 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: and then this is serious. This is not a joke, 278 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: but it's unfortunately not that wrong. She writes that twenty 279 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 2: twenty five proved that political assassinations work. Look for even 280 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: more attempts, some successful in twenty twenty six. That's really pessimistic. 281 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 2: But she's talking, of course, about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, 282 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: which occurred while I was hosting this show back on 283 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: September tenth, which was the most terrible thing that happened 284 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, by far, the first political assassin 285 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: we've had in this country since the nineteen sixties. I 286 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: don't necessarily agree with her that that worked, because his 287 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: voice got louder after he died, and his message got 288 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: louder and will resonate for generations to come. But from 289 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 2: a silencing his voice standpoint, it did work. And she 290 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 2: says even more attemptional occurring twenty twenty six, that, unfortunately 291 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: I think is true. Well, we're at back on Tony 292 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: Cats today. Stay with us. We are back on Tony 293 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 2: Catz today. I am Mike Coolidge in for Tony Cats. 294 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 2: And there it is. That's the song that gave it away. 295 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: What the connecting tissue is of all of the bumper 296 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: music on today's Oh Yeah we are on. I just 297 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: got a text from Landon behind the Glass that we're 298 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 2: gonna be on in thirty but we're on right now, 299 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 2: right Landon, Yeah, we are on. Yes here, I am 300 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: talking away because hearing the Kate Bush song running Up 301 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 2: the Hill? No one got it? But why don't you, 302 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 2: because you are a consumer of this, explain to listeners 303 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 2: what the connecting thing was about the following songs that 304 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: we played this entire three hour show so far. Moving 305 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: in Sarah by the Cars, Rock You Like a Hurricane 306 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 2: by the Scorpion Sunglasses, and That by Cory Hart California, 307 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 2: Dreaming by the Beach Boys their version of it, run 308 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: Away by bon Jovi, Everybreathy Take by the Police, Master 309 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 2: Puppets by Metallica, and Running up That Hill by Kate Bush. 310 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: Even though I only watched the first season, and I 311 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: think some of the second what are what Are? Why 312 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: are these songs connected? 313 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 3: Well? In honor of this, I believe the shows will 314 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: be ending after nine years. The fifth and final season 315 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 3: premieres tonight at eight o'clock Eastern. All the songs have 316 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: been played from Stranger Things, which is based out of 317 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 3: the fictional Hawkins Indiana. 318 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: Yes, all right, so let me talk about Stranger Things 319 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: for a second, you as a how old are you landon? 320 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 2: I am twenty four, twenty four, okay, so you watch 321 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: Stranger Things.

All Stranger Things fans too, and part of 323 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 2: the appeal of Stranger Things, as I understand it because 324 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 2: I did. You know again, I know what it's about. 325 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 2: I watched the first season or two. I love the 326 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 2: theme song, I love the theme opening, and I liked 327 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: it immediately because the kids in it are my exact age. 328 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: I was eight in nineteen eighty three, I was nine 329 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty four or whatever however it is.

But then I found out that 332 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: the guys who made it are like ten years younger 333 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: than me. They don't remember that time period at all. 334 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: So they aren't making it from a you know, nostalgic 335 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 2: period of time because they didn't live during that time 336 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 2: or they weren't you know, cognizant human beings at the time, 337 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: so it's not all that accurate. It's what they think 338 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 2: the eighties was, Like, I know what it's like, man, 339 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 2: And I was there, and yes, we were fighting underworlds aliens. 340 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: What are they called the so the monsters are called 341 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 3: demi Gorgans, dem Organs yesh, Yeah, that's right, that's right. 342 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 2: I know all about them because we fought them. And 343 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: and I don't want to give away what happens tonight 344 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: because because I already know because I lived it. We 345 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: defeated them, all right, So that's what happened in real life. 346 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: And but you're going to decide their version of Stranger 347 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: Things finale today and correct me about something too about 348 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: Stranger Things. This is on Netflix, right, Yes, it is 349 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 2: on Netflix. I thought Netflix released entire seasons at once. 350 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: Did they stop doing that? Now they've released it at 351 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: a specific time. 352 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 3: So some shows release it like here's all eight or 353 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: ten episodes or whatever. But since Stranger Things is so 354 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 3: popular and it kind of waited so long between the 355 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: last two seasons, you know, I mean everyone's in their 356 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 3: twenties or thirties and they're still like freshman in high. 357 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: School or whatever. 358 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of spaced it out just to kind 359 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 3: of build that the suspense towards it, trying to build 360 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 3: the hype up to it. 361 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: Some it has worked this last. 362 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: Volume, Volume two for season five, was not worth the hype. 363 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: I will say that, Okay, I stopped watching it. It 364 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 2: got a little cringey for me. I forget what it 365 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 2: was exactly that turned me off to it. It wasn't 366 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: just the inaccuracies of how it went. I think it 367 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: kind of had some woke stuff in there that just, 368 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 2: you know, turned me off. And I said, all right, 369 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: I'm done. I'm not wasting my time with this. But 370 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: I I liked the original idea of it. I liked 371 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: the tone of it, I liked the writing. I was 372 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: interested in where it was going. And then I just 373 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: lost interest. For me, you know, if I don't care 374 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: about the characters anymore and what happens to them, I'm 375 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 2: not gonna watch something. And the biggest example of that is, uh, 376 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 2: I watched. I didn't rewatch them all, but I watched 377 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 2: portions of Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, in Return of 378 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: the Jedi, this over Christmas Break and all those characters. 379 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: You know, when you're young, you're like, oh my gosh, 380 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen to Han Solo, What's gonna happen to Luke? 381 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: You know, like you really cared about them because they 382 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: were likable people, whereas Stranger Things. After a while, I 383 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 2: was like, I don't care about any of these kids. 384 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: I hope the gorgon Zolas eat them all. You know 385 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 2: the Gorgonzolas, right, what they're called Gorgans. Anyway, Well, good, well, 386 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: enjoy tonight. I hope you enjoyed the final thing. And yes, 387 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: uh that was what was connected. All of these songs 388 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: were in Stranger Things, and this last one I think 389 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,239 Speaker 2: made Kate Bush a lot of money because Running Up 390 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: That Hill has been the song that's been played the most, right. 391 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's been the anthem of the show for 392 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 3: the past couple seasons. 393 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't want to, you know, dump on 394 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: people that you know like things. If you like Stranger 395 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: Things and you get joy out of it, great, you 396 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: don't watch it. Will all have different tastes. I love 397 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: the Sopranos, I love Breaking Bad, I love Game of Thrones. 398 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: I thought the last Game of Throne season was not 399 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: that great, but I didn't, you know, I made I 400 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 2: started to make fun of people before I started watching 401 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 2: Game of Thrones who watch it, and then I watched 402 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: them like, oh I get the hype. So who knows. 403 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: Maybe someday I'll watch the rest of the Stranger Things 404 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 2: episodes and understand and appreciate it and say, oh, I 405 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: was wrong, It was actually really good. So we shall say. 406 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: I hope tonight is as good as what you were 407 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: expecting and it exceeds your expectations. Landing, well, thank you. 408 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 3: It's two hours tonight, and I probably won't watch it 409 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 3: until tomorrow, but I I hope and knocks it out 410 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: of the park. 411 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 2: Well, I hope you don't run into anyone tonight if 412 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 2: you're doing anything public who watched it and spoils it 413 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: for you. 414 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 3: If that happens, I'll be so mad. I'm want to 415 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 3: stay off Twitter like it's the plague. 416 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 2: One of the things we're reading here. I'm jumping right 417 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 2: to twenty five by Peachy Keenan predictions for twenty twenty six, 418 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: Stranger Things mania will mercifully be over and we will 419 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 2: not see much of the lead actors again the Game 420 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: of Thrones season eight curse. So she's suggesting here predicting 421 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: that any of these actors who you see in Game 422 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: of Thrones, they're not going to see a whole lot 423 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 2: more of after this, much like the actors, And yeah, 424 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: I mean trying to think of the people who were 425 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: in the last episode or the last season the Game 426 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: of Thrones, who's still making movies and is big. Not 427 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: that I really follow that much anymore. I don't think 428 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 2: any of them really have. John Snow was in some 429 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: things and got some coverage, but and I think the 430 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: girl who didn't talk seven or whatever, she got some 431 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 2: roles and some things, but she's predicting that years from now, 432 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: you know, this will be their peak and whatever that 433 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 2: happens all the time. Number nineteen the oh no, yes, 434 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: so we skipped a couple here, sorry this one. I 435 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: like podcasters who sit around in dimly lit studios opening 436 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: into Mike's will be out. Podcasters who venture out into 437 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: the world to document and discuss real world calamities will 438 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 2: be in. 439 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: I like that. 440 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: It's easy and cozy to sit in a studio like 441 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 2: the one I'm sitting in right now, which happens to 442 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: be in my home. It's very nice, but it's also 443 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: fun to go out and interact. Like I don't know, 444 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 2: Nick Shirley, he made international news with what he did 445 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 2: that wasn't really a podcast. It was like a journalism thing. 446 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 2: But and you know this will kind of already exists 447 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 2: lives streaming, you know, people doing things while But the 448 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: struggle with doing live stuff out in the open real 449 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 2: world isn't the unpredictability, because that could be fun. You know, 450 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: if you don't know what's going to happen. That can 451 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 2: be a reason why people watch because they don't know 452 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. But the control sometimes of making things 453 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 2: interesting is gone if you are doing things completely extemporaneously, 454 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 2: like for example, with everyday people, you're running into the 455 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: worst thing someone can be on the radio if you're 456 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: interviewing them in person and you didn't kind of like 457 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: talk with them ahead of time or get their story 458 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 2: ahead or whatever is boring. You don't want to run 459 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: into somebody who's boring, and that happens sometimes when you 460 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: do things live and interview them, because a boring person 461 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 2: will lead people listening to leave and not listen, and 462 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: that's the worst thing you want. In radio Number twelve, 463 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 2: biotech engineered embryo optimization will mostly flop. I guess this 464 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 2: is a big thing they're doing now as people figure 465 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 2: out that creating and having dozens and dozens of embryo's 466 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: rank by future SAT scores is cringe and cruel, and 467 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: they realize that the trueflex is having enough confidence in 468 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: your own natural genetics to produce offspring the old fashion way. 469 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: Wink wink. I don't even know about this embryo optimization thing. 470 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: I guess that's a thing that people are doing. But yeah, 471 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: old fashioned reproduction might be the way to go. I 472 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 2: hope that makes a comeback. Number thirteen, the first successful 473 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 2: novel will appear from a writer who is not a 474 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: left wing ideologue or named JK. Rowling. All right, let's 475 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 2: go for that. The in blancification I can't say the word, 476 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 2: I think on the air of New York City. Prediction 477 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 2: number fifteen will go into overdrive. Tourism will hit rock bottoms. 478 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I should explain what in planktification is. And 479 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: the in blank part is the word for pooping, the 480 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: in poopification, if you will, That is when something gets 481 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: like I think San Francisco started this trend of just 482 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 2: allowing people to defecate on streets and do drugs on 483 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: the streets, and just put up tents all over public 484 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: sidewalks and in public parks and just ruin things like 485 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: ruin things on a massive scale. That happened in San Francisco. 486 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 2: It happens in Los Angeles. There's certain pockets of Chicago 487 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: it happens too. It's happened too. But New York City, 488 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: I hear, is getting bad. Tourism's gonna hit rock bottom, 489 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: pretty predicts pg Kenan, and the last remaining industries will flee, 490 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: including Broadway. The famous theater palaces will empty out and 491 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 2: become as dead as the indoor shopping malls in San Francisco. 492 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 2: The rich residents of the city will hang on, however, 493 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 2: keeping just enough of the high end economy afloat to 494 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: keep the lights on.
