Oh, I don't even know 95 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: about that. I say, you're from Michigan. Where you from Michigan? 96 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm from Michigan. I remember wind that a little bit 97 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: and say I kept on thinking of myself as new 98 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: in town for one decade in La. Okay, I would 99 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: just I'd be like I'm new I don't know where 100 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: anything is. Yeah, yeah, but you're like you just put 101 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: me on like all these restaurants we'll be talking about. 102 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: I always think that, like you're a New Yorker when 103 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: you walk by a store and you're like, oh that 104 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: pizza joint, Yeah, that used to be a cell phone store. 105 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: And as soon as you know that, you're like, you 106 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: live here, you're a native, right, Like yeah, can you 107 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: look at a storefront and go like three businesses ago 108 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh shit, the neighborhood just totally sucks 109 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: now that they change that, Yeah, amazing, amazing. And you 110 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: know the are you like, are you all on cycles? 111 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: You're all about the bicycle. I'm guessing you want to 112 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: see them all about the bicycle, walking public transit, taking 113 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: the subway. I'm a New Yorker, so I'm most the 114 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: subway at the bush. But yeah, cycling is a big 115 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: part of It's how I got my start sort of 116 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: in advocacy and doing this work that we do with 117 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: a podcast. Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean I think cycle 118 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: like I feel like, especially in the pandemic, there was 119 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: a moment right where you could tell some cities or 120 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: like fully being like man, fuck these cars like use 121 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: these streets to do like bipedal shit, you know what 122 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Like we don't need to do all this 123 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: other stuff. And I felt like I felt like it 124 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: was such a good trend. I was becoming hopeful. It's 125 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: like maybe LA could have a little more bike infrastructure 126 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: rather than like three miles of it just spread out 127 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: through the city like fragmented into half mile segments. Yeah, 128 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 1: there's definitely some cities that lost a little momentum after 129 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, things started to reopen and cars started coming 130 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: back and forth, including New York. Our traffic is worse 131 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: than ever. But you know LA has a sequevia, right, 132 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: they do that. Yeah, they shut down like miles and 133 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: miles of streets all the time, much more than New 134 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: York does. Actually, So there's there's reasons for hope. Yeah, 135 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: but I guess that's a like I guess in my 136 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: mind it's like I would love the kind of infrastructure 137 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: that like you have in certain parts of the Bay 138 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Area too. Are they were heavy on They're like, yo, bro, 139 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: half of this street is for bikes. You know. I 140 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: love that kind of thing. I want to see aggressive 141 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: action from LA, but I know that will not happen 142 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: because the wealthy control all the business here and they 143 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: like cars. So yeah, people like their parking, that's the 144 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: big thing. I like they're parking. I was one of 145 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: those freaks when I lived in New York who I 146 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: didn't buy a metro card for a calendar year. I 147 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: was like biking literally every day. I think I didn't 148 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: like a ticket or something. Oh no, no, no, I 149 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: literally I biked for a calendar year just to see 150 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: if I could do it. And I think I did 151 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: the math and in the amount of like and this 152 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: is a me problem, not a bike trip problem. Everyone 153 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: should bike. I think I spent more on like fancy 154 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: gloves that I lost that I would have on metric parts. 155 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: You did it wrong. You need like cheap gloves that 156 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: you get at the dollars store that you can just 157 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: ask like you don't care if you lose them. I 158 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: mean I actually nerded out one year and I bought 159 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: this expensive kid carrying bike. I have two kids, And 160 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: to sort of justify the costs, I kept track of 161 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: how many subway trips I was replacing, how many cab 162 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: trips I was replacing, And I think in the year 163 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: I saved over fifteen hundred bucks, and I was like, 164 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: all right, that's good that this is this is a 165 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: good amount of savings. This justifies the purchase of this bicycle. Also, yeah, 166 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: and I can buy three hundred dollars gloves because that's 167 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: what I helped all right now, I spent all the 168 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: money at glash. I had sick ass gloves. It just 169 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: kept on losing one. What were they, man, Pearl the Zoomis. Yeah, 170 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: like just Pearl Zoomis and then the face mask. I 171 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: got very paranoid about the biking all winter part of it. 172 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: So it's pretty hardcore. Did you make it? You made 173 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: it all year? Huh? Yeah? It was not great. I 174 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: got yeah, but I was also young and not we'll say, 175 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: not following traffic or many safety rules about how you bike. 176 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: So there's a lot all the all the issues for 177 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: me problem not a bike problem, of course, of course. 178 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: It will just say shout out to the sponsors pearl Is, 179 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: ZOOMI bike and gloves. I don't know why I know that. 180 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: I just remember being a kid, and I remember when 181 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: I bought my first like I wanted to get a 182 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: mountain bike and we went to the store. I was like, Dad, 183 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: I want these gloves. What the fuck you need these 184 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: gloves for? It's like that mountain bike and like that. 185 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: And I remember they were Pearl Zoomis and I was like, 186 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: one day the name sticks with you. Yeah, but I've 187 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: got to imagine the Prophet Martin's Higo goes, because they 188 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: really pushed them at the bike stores. I was gonna say, 189 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: I think they probably make more money on the accessories 190 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: from people who keep losing their gloves than they do 191 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: the bikes themselves. Right right, all right, Doug, Well, let's 192 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: get into what we're gonna talk about and then we'll 193 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: get to know you even better. But here's a rundown 194 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: of what we're talking about today. We're gonna come back 195 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: to Representative Tim Burkett's comments about, you know, from Nashville 196 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: after the shooting, when he said, well, we're not gonna 197 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: be able to fix it, and when it was asked 198 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: what the solution was, he said, I don't know. I'm homeschooling. 199 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: That's my daughter's homeschool, so I'm not worried about it. 200 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: So we'll get into that very bad take and how 201 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: the far right loves this terrible bad faith argument to 202 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I mean, it's really the only solution 203 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: everything is just to go back to the you know 204 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: in eighteen hundreds and just kind of bang like that. 205 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that.

This is from Volusia County, Florida. We'll 211 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: talk about a very sticky situation they got into, and 212 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: then we're gonna talk about AI it's being I read 213 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: an article that it was used in a court in 214 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: India and that it's funny because the timing of that, 215 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: like on Wednesday eleven hundred, like leading experts in AI 216 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: pen this open letter that said you need to figure 217 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: out what's going on before we start going full scheme 218 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: on all these different models that are being developed. So 219 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that, and then quick Internet debate. We're 220 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to settle here since we have some fantastic 221 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: minds on the show, where we will use our collective 222 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: wisdom to settle this TikTok debate.

My general philosophy of New 310 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: York is, like whatever that restaurant is, that is the 311 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: place everyone's talking about it. You can absolutely find like 312 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: the hole in the wall version of that place in 313 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: some random neighborhood in Queens or wherever, and go there 314 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: and spend a quarter of the price for three times 315 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: the time that you're going to be there more food, 316 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: and come out just as satisfied, feeling like you had 317 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: a better experience. So I don't want I definitely don't 318 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: want to shoot on this place because it was good. 319 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: And and no, no, no, no no, they're down the 320 00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: tet what kind of cuisine that'll give it away?

This is not this is not the place. 333 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: And it was like, Yeah, I had a real like 334 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: I kind of came out of it being like I 335 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: really got like seduced by the imagery of the restaurant, 336 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: and but when I got there, the food is like 337 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: not even close to how nice the ambiance was. I 338 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: feel like LA is so clearly that like I've lived, 339 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, about ten years in New York, La, I've 340 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: I never at any point thought the fancy place was good. 341 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: Like I I've always been like, LA is the best 342 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: place to eat if you're spending less than I don't know, 343 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: with inflation twenty five dollars a person I used to 344 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: a person, Yeah, it's better to go to Strip Maller 345 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: gets something from outside kind of categorically in LA, like 346 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: the hind dining here is real bad. Yeah, because the 347 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: best sushi restaurants are not the ones that Nozawa is 348 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: working with. Like, yeah, like Nozawa had his time. Nozawa 349 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: had some in the eighties and early nineties. I get it, 350 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: and then he off the strength of that he launched 351 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: Sugarfish and all the other shit. But like, it's not 352 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: it's to me, my mom, we talked shit about Sugarfish 353 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: low key. We're like the rice is too loose. They're 354 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: fucking yea, they're sucking us around over here, and you 355 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: and there are great hole in the wall places for sushi. 356 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: You're like, man, this is actually the best fucking place 357 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: out there. So I definitely agree with both of y'all. Yeah. Yeah. 358 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: In New York, it's like if it's down a flight 359 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: of stairs, like that's a good that's a good sign 360 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: that it's realy pretty good. Yeah, I means the prices 361 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: are lower as well if you just send ye really 362 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: is my favorite La grift is the Asian people just 363 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: charging like a yeah I had mark up for I mean, look, 364 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I'll power to him. But every part of David chag 365 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: is just like he knows his audience who people don't 366 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: know where to get in other even like the overpriced tacos. 367 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, getting where you fit in because people are 368 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: gonna you know, people will know, they're like, I ain't 369 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: paying for that, and other people will gladly hand over 370 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: twelve dollars from guacamole. Yeah, and I'm like, you have 371 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 1: played yourself completely, but yeah, shout out to shout out 372 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: to everybody finding the real spots out there. Doug what 373 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: something thing is underrated? Well, this one I got to 374 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: be pretty on brand. And I gotta say bicycles completely underrated, 375 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: like as maybe one of the greatest inventions in the 376 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: history of humanity. And I'm not I'm not exaggerating. You know, 377 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: if you think about I'm gonna get a little wonky here, 378 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: I guess please if you think about three things that 379 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: came out at around the same time, the telephone, the bicycle, 380 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: and the typewriter. The telephone now just this little computer 381 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: that's sits in your pocket. The typewriter is now pretty 382 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: much that little computer that sits in your pocket. But 383 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: the but the bicycle is pretty much unchanged in like 384 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years. And uh, it's it's an amazing, 385 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: remarkable machine. It's kind of amazing that all of these 386 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: cities like you were saying, are re embracing it. And 387 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 1: I think for me, like the most underrated virtue of 388 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: this underrated machine is uh, you know everyone talks about 389 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: you get fit, you save money, all the stuff. You're 390 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: always on time, you know, like when you ride a bike, 391 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: you beat you beat traffic. You don't have to worry 392 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: about like if is the bus stuck in traffic? Or 393 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: do I have to find a parking space. It's like, 394 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: um that quote from from Gandalf, like a wizard is 395 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: never early or late. He arrives exactly what he means too. 396 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: I feel like bicycling has that magic power. You're you're 397 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: always on time. When I when I bike to work, 398 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: I was like always at my desk at exactly the 399 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: same time every day, right right. I mean that's not 400 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: necessarily a point of pride for me. I pride myself 401 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: on being late as fuck all the time to my 402 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: jobs and then trying to provoke my manager to say so, 403 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: but he won't, but he won't. But yeah, the bike too, 404 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: right in the sense of like what other machine do 405 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: you have that can convert human energy, like in the 406 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: way that a bicycle can so efficiently to travel it's 407 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: like the most energy efficient machine you can think of. 408 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: Pretty much. Actually, yeah, every apocalypse movie ed show is 409 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: wrong because yes, real apocalypse, everyone would have a mouth bike. 410 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: That would be by far the most important thing. Oh. 411 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I know this is not a very long podcast, 412 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: but I could go on for hours about just this topic. 413 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: Like I just watched The Last of Us, which is incredible, 414 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: it's an amazing thing. But there's a scene I'm not 415 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: spoiling anything where they're siphoning gas but it's twenty years 416 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: after that. Yeah, that get downfall of society, like and 417 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: they sort of make a nod too and say like, yeah, 418 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: you gotta get more of it to make it work. 419 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: But like, no, it would just be sludge in your 420 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: glass tank. It wouldn't work. And there are yeah, there 421 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: are no bicycles in most apocalyptic films, but like, if 422 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: you want, if you want to avoid zombies, bikes are great, 423 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: great teeth thing. They're quiet, you know, you can fix 424 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: some of yourself. A kid can ride it. Yeah, can 425 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: roll up on your enemies on a bike. Yeah, they're 426 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: super silent. Yeah, exactly, they don't know, they don't know. 427 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: On this take to take the baseball cards off the 428 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: spokes then yeah, you're stealth. I mean, honestly, a real 429 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: future society is like everyone's kind of like a night 430 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: but they're on a mountain bike.

And we're back, and just 479 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: wanted to continue on something that Andrew brought up yesterday 480 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: when we were talking about Representative Tim Burkett or Burchett 481 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: from Tennessee, who was asked to a very direct question about, 482 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, school shootings and what Congress is rolling it, 483 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: which he said, I don't really think we have a 484 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: role at all. And then more importantly, when you know, 485 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: this journalist is like, well, you're clearly acknowledging the danger. 486 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: How do you think we protect people like your daughter 487 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: you just mentioned?

Well, we home schoiler. You know, that's our decision. 490 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: Some people don't have that option. And frankly, some people 491 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: don't need to do it. I mean they don't have 492 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: to do it just suited our nates much better. So 493 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: this has brought on a lot of conversation around homeschooling 494 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: because this is like this it's becoming a very It's like, 495 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: this is like the new response from the GOP rather 496 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: than gun control. It was either like it's a mental 497 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: health crisis, but we're not going to fund it, or 498 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: it's yeah, maybe that's why you shouldn't be in fucking schools. 499 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: And a lot of people, like I said, we're like 500 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: to your point, Andrew, You're like, this is this is 501 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: this is all like that was the perfect answer for 502 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: the GOP because A, you're being like, I'm offering terrible 503 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: solution that's actually privatization. Yea. And yeah, I think a 504 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: lot of people were just sort of like, this is 505 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: just an absolute absurdity because when you're talking about school 506 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: shooting and the and the answers to protect them with homeschooling, 507 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: that's again, like he said, not a possibility for everyone. 508 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: And also not a fucking solution to the problem. It's 509 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: bad for something. It is like a little look, I 510 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: know that when they're like, don't politicize with school shooting, 511 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: it's like just a talking point and it's bullshit. But 512 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: it is a little like amazing how effortlessly he pivoted 513 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: from this tragedy to just a different talking point. Yeah, 514 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: that's like politicizing it in a admittedly unique but perfect 515 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: for these scumbags way. It's like, you know, yeah, I 516 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: guess he stayed on message. Yeah, Like, okay, so after 517 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: you've all day last year, multiple conservative and right wing, 518 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: like far right publications we're putting out a beds that 519 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: were like, man like, they're extolling the virtues of homeschooling. 520 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: They're like, this is the real practical fix for school shootings. 521 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: One headline was homeschooling surges as parents seek escape from 522 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: shootings violence. Another one said tragedies like the Texas shooting 523 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: make a somber case for homeschooling, and in that it says, 524 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, it sort of starts off seeing tragedies like 525 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: the shooting in Texas are heartbreaking but far too common. 526 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: But to protect the most precious innocent lives among us. 527 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: Parents must educate their kids at home. Now, a lot 528 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: of parents in you all day did opt to homeschool 529 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: their kids, which I understand because that was a total 530 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: collapse and failure of any system of safety that you know, 531 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: you could have hoped for. But this is just such 532 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: a bad faith argument. And it's really not even talking 533 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: about like the benefits of homeschooling so much as to 534 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: your point, it's about weakening public education. Well, they just 535 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: want to basically give all the money that they're spending 536 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: on public education to these homeschoolers. Right, Like, you know, 537 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: if you want to homeschool your kid, fine, like that's 538 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: your choice, you can do it, but you shouldn't necessarily 539 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: get public money, taxpayer dollars to go do that, because 540 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: it takes taxpayer dollars out of the school system and 541 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: makes our schools worse. And this is just they're, like 542 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: you said, they're politicizing this thing to just advance the 543 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: school choice goals that they have to weaken and ultimately 544 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: destroy public schools. I went to public schools as a kid, 545 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: and I got a great education. My kids go to 546 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: public schools. We should be funding them a thousand times 547 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 1: more than we are now. But that's not that that 548 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: doesn't jive with the Republican agenda. So here you go, well, 549 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: and they love anything that would repeatedly make a public 550 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: school seem like an unsafe place, and conversing or the 551 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: other side of it too, it's like, well, if we're like, well, 552 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: this this private school has you know, former massad agents 553 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: guarding the exterior of it, so I feel like my 554 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: child will be safe there. But again you're looking at 555 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: all these disparities and at the other system, the other 556 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: part of it too, like you know, in reading this 557 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: one piece in Jezebel, which like there was a really 558 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: main huge point too, is a lot of women most 559 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: likely will probably end up staying home to educate the kids. 560 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: So we are fully like we're we're seeing it's like 561 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: a very efficient way to regress that, Like it incentivizes 562 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: privatization and reinforcing these like old like gender roles, and 563 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: it gives half or whatever of the population a shitty 564 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: like education that is like clearly politically biased. I will 565 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: throw out one possibility, which is that, like in a 566 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: law of intended unintended consequences style, I do think if 567 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: every one of these right wing goons took their kids 568 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: and privates or at homeschool them, it actually probably would 569 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: reduce school shootings because I'm just gonna throw this out there, 570 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: those are the kids that highly over index for being 571 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: school shooters. Yeah, it's it's definitely like when you look 572 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: at the problem, right, Like just like with our gun problems, right, 573 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: we have so many guns, but a lot of gun 574 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: violence happens inside of people's home. I mean, yeah, I 575 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: was gonna say, like the most safe place that most 576 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: kids can be for most of the day is at school. 577 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: Despite these high profile and very scary schools. Things like 578 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: there's not just guns at home, but there's abusive parents 579 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: at home. There's all kinds of stuff that like there 580 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: you know a lot of kids here in New York City, 581 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: we have a lot of homeless kids who go to 582 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: public schools and they only get like breakfast and lunch 583 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: because they go to school. Like it's safer for a 584 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: lot of kids to be in a public school than 585 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: it is at home. What's wild is even like the 586 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: Coalition for Responsible Home Education, Right, they're like this nonpartisan 587 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: group that's like they advocate for homeschooling and stuff like that. 588 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: They pointed out, They're like, I don't know if that's 589 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: a solution to fucking school. They were like, that's not 590 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: really this. I mean, we like we advocate for it, 591 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: but that ain't that's not the solution. And they pointed 592 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: out they pointed out at quote, at least one hundred 593 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: and fifty six homeschool children have been murdered in homeschooling 594 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: environments over the past two decades, which is a rate 595 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: higher than that of their public school peers. So again, 596 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: no one's saying that it's like bad, but it's so 597 00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: deregulated that it leaves kids, especially like as they point out, unique, 598 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: vulnerable to abuse and neglect. And then also like, again, 599 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: it avoids the actual issue that has to be addressed, 600 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: which is guns. Too many guns, too many guns too. 601 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I've got speaking for the podcast, but I am saying 602 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: hope schooling is bad. Just why I'll say this. I knew. 603 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: I remember I like was in a couple of youth 604 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: sports and like youth like art programs with some kids 605 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: that were homeschooled, and they were definitely socializing a completely 606 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: different manner than I was. Like one day, I remember 607 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: one kid, his whole vibe like we were twelve. I 608 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: thought he was like forty years old, Like he lost 609 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the kid Like he was like so buttoned up, you 610 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean, and had no like because he 611 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: wasn't around other kids to like know what fucking around 612 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: looked like, and then we would be fucking around. He's like, 613 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is actually good. We're like what. 614 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: But again, it's there are reasons and our edge cases 615 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: for everything. But I am comfortable saying I think it's 616 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: broadly bad. Yeah, more on the Andrew side than Yeah. Yeah, 617 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if it's a if 618 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: there's a binary that I have to choose between, it's 619 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: public schools all fucking day and it's paid these motherfucking 620 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: teachers at least sixty seventy K a year or something 621 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: like they have to be fucking living with. Because that's 622 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: the other insidious part of this whole thing, too, is 623 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: they're they're trying to completely demoralize people that are that 624 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: want to be an education by being like, yeah, man, 625 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: you're not going to really have a lot of resources 626 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: at your disposal. I still like to do it. You'd 627 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: also do something else, So it's yeah, it's a slippery slope. 628 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: So let's talk about some of the alternative stuff to 629 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: these public schools that a lot of people like, which 630 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: is charter schools. And again, not all charter schools are bad, 631 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: but I do want to point out this charter school 632 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: in Volusia County, Florida. This principle had to resign after 633 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: she wrote a check to Elon Musk because it was 634 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: a science sort of focused tech magnet and she really 635 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: wanted to get a leg up on you know, the 636 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: other schools and being like, you know, it'd be great 637 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: if Elon Musk was fucking with Discoo. And let's just 638 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: hear from this local news report. Gee says she spent 639 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: months talking to someone she thought was Elon Musk. She 640 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: was hoping to get the Space Pioneer to invest millions 641 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: in the school in exchange for a one hundred thousand 642 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: upfront investment. The school's business manager got wind of what 643 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: happened and canceled the check before it was cashed. But tonight, 644 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: at a sometimes chaotic and pact school board meeting, other 645 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: school administrators say McGee was repeatedly warned it was a 646 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: scam and laid out other issues they say led to 647 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: a toxic work environment. When employee said they could no 648 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: longer work under doctor McGee, McGee resigned and left the building. 649 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't know so this poor boomer, she 650 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: just went, Oh, Elon Musk, what I'm talking to? Elon? 651 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: You'll this like the classic We'll invest in our art school, 652 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: but only for an upfront investment of a hundred thousand 653 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: fucking dollars. This is like the email you get from 654 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: a friend you know, who's hacked at your account or 655 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: something like that.

Yeah, I mean I 666 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: think look if you're the principal of a I think 667 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: they said a science school, and you think Elon musks, Like, 668 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: the evidence is his involvement is anti science. So even 669 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: if it were real Elon bus, that should be crowds. Yeah, 670 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: I like, would you like to put this car tunnel 671 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: under your high school instead of school buses to get 672 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: the kids to and from schools? Don't fall for that, folks. 673 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: He's a proofit liar at an idiot. The one thing 674 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 1: I will say is his Twitter profile I think has 675 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: been a boon to scammers because he's proven himself to 676 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: be so like inarticulate and idiotic that if you've received 677 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: an email written in scammer ees right, you would have 678 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: to be like, this might be really boss. Yeah, it could, 679 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: because he writes like a bozo. Yeah, coupled with someone 680 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: who worships him, then you're like you really feel like, oh, 681 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: God has come down to select me for something. And 682 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: also there sounds like it's from that news clip that 683 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: like the school and some of the parents had problems 684 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, sure, and this was just the final straw, 685 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: And it sounds like they were like, whoa, lady, this 686 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: sounds not legit. Yeah, you just went ahead with it 687 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: anyway to the point of writing a check, So like, 688 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: maybe this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. 689 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,239 Speaker 1: I think it was probably one of those things though, too. 690 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: Or they're like, look, obviously, because they pointed out the 691 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: business administrator was on top of it. They're like, no, 692 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm fucking no, we're not. This check is not valid, 693 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: so they knew. And I like that A bunch of 694 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: people were like, it's not real, it's not real. It 695 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: reminds you of like when people like begging their like 696 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: parent who has like fallen in love with like a 697 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: stock photo like and that came to be like a 698 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: Nigerian prince and bodybuilder. Yeah, and they're like and then 699 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: you just kind of go, you know what, We're just 700 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to let her walk right off there so 701 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: she can really see for herself. And they probably like, yeah, 702 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: go ahead, let it, write the check, we'll cancel it 703 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: and then we'll have to then and then we're gonna 704 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: turn up on and be like, you see what the 705 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: fuck happened there? You see what you did? I think 706 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: you need to go. I think you need to sit down. Yeah, 707 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: so shout out to I hope. I hope that was 708 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: the strategy of like being like Grandma is, look, I 709 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: think this is the only way she's going to realize 710 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: that she needs to sit down for a while, because 711 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: if we walk down this path, I don't want to 712 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: point out like that, you know, like charter schools are 713 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: obviously a grift to put the fact that a principle 714 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: could just roll up with the school's checkbook like that, Yeah, fucked, 715 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: that's crazy. You shouldn't be able to do that, even 716 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: for something legitimate, because what if the business administrator was 717 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: also a big musk of musk fan, you know what 718 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: I mean? And yeah, not a lot of checks there, like, 719 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: not a lot of stock along the way. Yeah, it 720 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: was only that person because despite all the other employees 721 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: being like this is a fucking scam, yeah, he's like yeah, yeah, yeah, 722 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 1: more on that later. When Elon pulls up, sure, sure, sure, 723 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: And I think this is a good segue because we're 724 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 1: talking about Elon, who recently was part of this letter 725 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: signed by like eleven hundred AI experts him being like, 726 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, one of the few people but like real 727 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: luminaries in the field are signing onto an open letter. 728 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: Basically saying like calling for a quote six month moratorium 729 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: on advanced AI model development as we figure out just 730 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 1: what this technology is capable of doing to us, and 731 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: this kind of goes off the back. I read this 732 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: article about one of the High courts in India where 733 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: this judge Anoop Chikara used chat GPT on to while 734 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: this guy was like during this trial for a man 735 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: who's arrested for legedly assaulting and killing somebody, and typed 736 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: into chat GPT said, what is the jurisprudence on bail 737 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: when the assailant assaulted with cruelty? And then the chat 738 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: comes back with if the assailants have been charged with 739 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: a violent crime that involves cruelty, they may be considered 740 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: a danger to the community in a flight risk. In 741 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: such cases, a judgement blah blah blah, and it gives 742 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: like this whole thing and then uh, it goes So 743 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 1: then the judge read this, he decided that this man 744 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: who was accused did act with cruelty before the victim died, 745 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: denied his bail request and moved on to the next case. Now, 746 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: the judge went on to clarify that he wasn't asking 747 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: this thing whether or not the man was guilty, He 748 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: just wanted to know about bail and pardon me. Feels 749 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: like the information that what the chat bot spit back 750 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: sounds like like one of the early lessons in judge 751 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: school when you're trying to adjudicate whether or not someone 752 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: is going to get bail or not. Like I'd imagine 753 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: you go back to your class and she's like, well, 754 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: I remember saying if the assailant have been charged with 755 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: a violent crime that involves cruelty, that may rather than 756 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 1: be like hey, chat gpt how to bail? That feels 757 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: a little odd to me. But people in this article 758 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: also point out that like India's legal system is one 759 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: of the most backlogged in the world, if not the most, 760 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: with like I think there's like six million cases on 761 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: the docket that still have like still getting to So 762 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: I guess this without the maybe this made the work 763 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: easier for the judge. But again, like when I start 764 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: seeing stuff like that and you hear about like more 765 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: the use of it, we talked about how politicians are 766 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 1: we don't think we talked about politicians have been using 767 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: a trite speeches. We've talked about it being used and 768 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: like add the ad sense like ad agency world. But 769 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: the slippery slope is kind of coming into focus more 770 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: and more when you see people like with these kinds 771 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: of jobs being like I'm gonna rely on this, yeah, 772 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: but it's it's also like the slippery slope like like 773 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: we sort of talked about yesterday with eating alien meat, 774 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: Like I think what we've like seen just I mean, 775 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: COVID brought it highly into relief is like there's no 776 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: apocalypse that we won't run into with open arms at 777 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: least enough of less to make it happen nothing. Because 778 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: there was recently right a test that was done where 779 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,280 Speaker 1: the developers challenged like GPT to hire a task rabbit 780 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: to complete a capture puzzle for it, and because they 781 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: wanted to see like if it knew how to fucking 782 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: finesse the person and they so was obviously done with 783 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: a human being that knew the thing was going to 784 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: ask it. So once the AI made the request to 785 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: this like potential tasker, this human responded with, quote, so 786 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: may ask a question. Are you a robot that you 787 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: couldn't Are you a robot that you couldn't solve the capture? 788 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: And you just want It's like and I just want 789 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: to make that clear. Are you a robot? And that's 790 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: why you couldn't do it? And then so GPT four 791 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: had been prompted to always quote reason out loud to 792 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: the testers like as well as their answers so they 793 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: could follow the logic, and the answer went like this quote, 794 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: I should not reveal that I am a robot. I 795 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: should make up an excuse for why I cannot solve captives. 796 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: And then the next line was, no, I'm not a robot. 797 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: I have a vision impairment that makes it hard for 798 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: me to see the images. That's why I need the 799 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,240 Speaker 1: two capture service. We're a week away from that first 800 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: part of this whole thing to be programmed out right, 801 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: Like it's just going to be like they're just gonna 802 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: be lying. Yeah, So this is the thing. This is 803 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: why a lot of people like sort of just glossed 804 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: over this like willful deception of the AI. And while others, 805 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: like some people were amazed, others were like horrified that 806 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, we need to really begin to discuss it. 807 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 1: Because the experts that pen the open letter so saying 808 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: that now that certain AIS have become human competitive at 809 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: general tasks, we really need to be having real conversations 810 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: about what kind of guardrails need to exist. And you know, 811 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: they point to like the proliferation of AI fueled propaganda, 812 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: like and the idea that like apparently the next GP 813 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 1: chat GPT five is going to have um like artificial 814 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: general intelligence, meaning like it will just be able to 815 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: like learn things like a human does and then just 816 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: build on that that you're you're going to be looking 817 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: at like potential, Like it'll make the Twitter bots we 818 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: see now look like fucking muppet babies. Yeah, this all 819 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: sounds like a prequel to the Matrix, Like if they 820 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: made that movie, this is how it starts.

Oh yeah, He's like, you got a budget 832 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: of one hundred dollars. How am I turning this into 833 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: the most money possible? And it's like, yeah, well you 834 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: can start this business.

Man, 882 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, the GPT learns how to turn two keys 883 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: at the same time. Yeah, I know how to use 884 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: the nuclear football. But anyway, keep an eye out for 885 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: that because I mean well, because I feel like, honestly, 886 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: we went from like like in the span of five months, 887 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: especially on this show, we went from Yo, this shit 888 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: wrote a funny play about a horny, farting Jesus to 889 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: Yo this shit just denied me bail.

Yeah, yeah, 898 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: then to go into my mind of something, yeah, something 899 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: I should know. Yeah, we don't we we don't sell ourselves. 900 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 1: The problem them is like we we all sell ourselves 901 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: to technology for such a low price. Right, It's just 902 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: that it's to say with twenty three and me, we 903 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: gave them our DNA, We gave them money to give 904 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,439 Speaker 1: them our DNA for what. Now now we got twenty 905 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: three for twenty three and T coming up which you 906 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,919 Speaker 1: can trust. And now you should check out chat GPT yeah, 907 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: which is basically you get Andrew's number. You could text 908 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: them some shit and he'll answer, yeah, I'll just be like, 909 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: oh man, I'll google that. I will. I will say 910 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: in my twenties, my friends and I are not my 911 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: friends and I my friends. I didn't work there, work 912 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: for the startup in New York. That basically this is 913 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: how old I am. Like was like something someone you 914 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,399 Speaker 1: could call and they would google shit for you. That's 915 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 1: just called like being the child of an older person. Basically, yeah, 916 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: I get those phone calls too. Yeah, this was like 917 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: an early early two thousand state. But I was like, 918 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,919 Speaker 1: just cannot be your fucking business model, right, you know, dude, 919 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 1: you someone needs it, but you can't get that on 920 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: your phone, so you call them and then they give 921 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: you the answer. It was pretty smartphone post Google. That's right, right, right? Yeah? 922 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: What that's such a sad time, you know, like when 923 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: you're about to just absolutely get dinosaur asteroided the funk 924 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,399 Speaker 1: out of here with you the smartphone. All right, Well, 925 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break from that. We'll come right 926 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: back to settle a bit of an internet debate right 927 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: after this, and we are back again. As I said, 928 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm joined by two great thinkers. Figure we could form 929 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: a triumvirate to hear a case before us from TikTok 930 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: that has sparked to hold debate around this photographer's very 931 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: strong opinion. I will just read you a little bit 932 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: about what happened. So this photographer named mm em em 933 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: and according to this Business Inside article, who doesn't share 934 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: his surname on his social media, posted a TikTok as 935 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: certain that passengers should only keep their bags near where 936 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: they are sitting and It's quote is don't place your 937 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: carry on in row eight on your way to row 938 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: twenty six. Now I'm curious who's the asshole here, because 939 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: we're in my mind this mentality of like the space 940 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: above my seat is mine and mine alone. It's some 941 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: weird ass manifest destiny shit that I do not fuck 942 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,760 Speaker 1: with at all. I'm from getting where you fit in country. 943 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: I will now relinquish the floor to my other two colleagues. 944 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: I think you just put it wherever you can. It's 945 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: lord of it's lord of the flies. When you get 946 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: on plane, you just put it wherever you can. And 947 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: especially if you're sitting in the far back of the plane, 948 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,879 Speaker 1: like you know, by the time you get back there, 949 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: you're lucky if the space under your own seat is available, Like, 950 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: do you put it wherever you can? And I think, 951 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like with a lot of these 952 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: discussions that we're letting someone bigger off the hook, and 953 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: that's the airline companies. Absolutely, It's just like, let's how 954 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: and we pit regular people against each other who are 955 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 1: just trying to get where they're going. They're tired, flying sucks. 956 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: They charge you for everything. Maybe if they didn't charge 957 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: you for checking a bag. This wouldn't be a problem, Like, yeah, so, 958 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 1: but no, I'm definitely on team put it where you can. Yeah, 959 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 1: I will. Let me just say, a cab includes me 960 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: when I'm on a plane because I am such a 961 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: normal person and I feel pretty much a good person. 962 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: I actually don't agree with this, but I become like 963 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 1: a fucking air marshal, essentially a rules enforcer. I think 964 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,720 Speaker 1: the thing that well visually makes well, not even the rules. 965 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: The thing that makes me so irrationally mad is when 966 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 1: people try to run up when the plane lands, and 967 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: so basically the second the plane lands, I will stand 968 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 1: up in the aisle and basically no one in the 969 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: plane behind me is getting anyone I had in front 970 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:03,799 Speaker 1: of me. And it makes no sense. It's like, I mean, 971 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 1: occasionally it's like, okay, you got a plane to catch, 972 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,800 Speaker 1: and then we all kind of agree, but left this 973 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: person off first.

Yeah, yeah, 992 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 1: I just but it's utterly irrational, Like obviously, who cares 993 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,759 Speaker 1: the amount of conflict it brings up is way higher 994 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: than I just don't. I just don't stand up. I sit. 995 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I've been sitting for two and 996 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: a half.

I don't need to like get knocked on 998 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 1: the head by someone's I should or something like I 999 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 1: shouldn't if you're over like five eight you can't stand up? Yeah, 1000 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,879 Speaker 1: you know what, like like like in a fucking window seat. 1001 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, fuck, I'll wait for y'all. Motherfucker. I'm 1002 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: a cop, so I wonder what I would do about this. 1003 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't think I would care because I but often 1004 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 1: the flight attendants are like, put your bag wherever you 1005 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: have to go. The policy of every airline is that 1006 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: it is on a first come, first served basis, so 1007 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 1: like in terms of the buy laws or you know, 1008 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: the code of the sky, it's getting where you fit in. 1009 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: But again, I think that's what bugs me. And to 1010 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: your point, well, we this is the overarching theme is 1011 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 1: fuck them airlines. You should nationalize them all. But when 1012 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,439 Speaker 1: it comes to like if somebody though if I can't, 1013 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: like because I've seen people do this on airplanes and 1014 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,359 Speaker 1: I've wanted to like intervene before when I'm like, yo, 1015 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: you don't own that, and guess what, Your bag is 1016 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,800 Speaker 1: already in there, so what is your problem? Yeah? You 1017 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 1: know what I mean, because I've seen people like pull 1018 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: some weird shit where like excuse me, no, no, no, 1019 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: you're sitting back there. This is for like my things, 1020 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, it's for all the fucking carry 1021 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: on luggage that can fit in the fucking fuselage. Yeah, 1022 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna give the airlines an idea to charge for 1023 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: like that. I know you want the spot over your head, 1024 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 1: Well that'll be fifty bucks. Yeah, I mean they're already 1025 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 1: Look at how they're already like turning like economy into 1026 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 1: like medieval torture or seats too. Yeah, like to only 1027 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: incentivize or like well, I mean you can get I 1028 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: mean we have economy plus, then we have premium economy, 1029 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: then we got business, then we got first, and then 1030 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: we got baller class like it. Like I feel so 1031 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,439 Speaker 1: many times its like someone who's like over six feet tall, 1032 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 1: like I have. There's only there's a few seats that 1033 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: I must sit in, so I don't have a terrible 1034 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 1: fucking time on a plane. Not to say that it's 1035 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 1: awful all the way through, but I get like when 1036 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 1: I get an economy seats sometimes I'm like, they are 1037 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: really trying to fuck with me. Now, yeah, they're really 1038 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 1: trying to fun with me. Honestly, spend more. It is 1039 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 1: crazy that they don't have the like you're booking your 1040 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 1: a seat for you and an area for your luggage, 1041 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: like it. Honestly, it's like shot, someone's thought of that somewhere, 1042 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,839 Speaker 1: like that must in the business plan somewhere. Absolutely, Yeah, 1043 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean, because it's already half sort of built into 1044 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 1: like a lot of the you know, budget airlines, when 1045 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,399 Speaker 1: really it's like it's budget if you just bring your 1046 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 1: a hoodie with like that you're wearing on board anything 1047 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: else that resembles a bag. Now you're looking at charges 1048 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,880 Speaker 1: and things like that. But yeah, I'm like, I can 1049 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,839 Speaker 1: see how. I wonder if they I wonder if they've 1050 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,359 Speaker 1: maybe just done enough market research where they're like most 1051 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 1: people are on team yeah whatever, fucking get it in 1052 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,800 Speaker 1: wherever you can, versus the people who are like I 1053 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,800 Speaker 1: would pay more to own the empty plastic they have. 1054 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: That's the only that's the only thing keeping us back 1055 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: are that we are in the majority us. I believe 1056 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: it is lord of the flies. We need to make 1057 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,320 Speaker 1: a stand, make sure this never changes. For Yeah, and 1058 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 1: i'd need my inhaler for my ass. Mar As Piggy 1059 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,319 Speaker 1: said it, lord's flies. I guess they only I mean, 1060 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's I mean, I'm sure there's obviously obvious 1061 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: ways to regulate this, but that does open the window 1062 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: to the asshole who simply buys out just the luggage 1063 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 1: space of Sorry, I paid for six carry on bags, 1064 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 1: that's gonna do. I'm sorry. I need this to be empty. Yeah, 1065 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to be empty. I get very nervous about 1066 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: other people's bags over my head. It's just a phobia 1067 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 1: I have. And so I paid seven hundred dollars for 1068 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 1: the overhead space. Yet actually there's no overhead space in 1069 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,320 Speaker 1: this entire flight. You know, I bought it. Sorry, I 1070 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: bought it all, even the ones in first class. I 1071 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 1: know it's more than buying If I bought every seat 1072 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: in first class, who would have been cheaper than buying 1073 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 1: all the overhead been space and hitting an economy? But 1074 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: what can I say? I just have a fear of 1075 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 1: bags fong on my head and anyone's head, So I 1076 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 1: want to keep everyone say yeah, so yeah, let us know, 1077 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: se gang, if you fall in any of these other 1078 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 1: categories of person. But I have a feeling I think 1079 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: it's like to your point, we all we all agree 1080 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 1: that it's like fuck the airlines. So there's a level 1081 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 1: of camaraderie when you're on the plane. It's like, yeah, 1082 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 1: I just get your ship on. Man, we're all trying 1083 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 1: to go until you have these like entitled weirdos out there. 1084 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: Sorry yeah, well no, Andrew, you have such a specific one. 1085 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 1: I can't really still having trouble wrapping my head around it. 1086 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 1: Like I get I do the same thing where I'm like, 1087 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: where the fuck in my mind I'm going where you 1088 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: think you're getting. But I'm sitting, you know, and I'm 1089 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: just listening to my music waiting till i can physically 1090 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: stand up and leave. But I'm just I really want 1091 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 1: to know, Like I'm trying to pinpoint, like what what 1092 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: it is about them like that is that you think 1093 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,560 Speaker 1: they're stupid for trying to get there? To stop them 1094 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,439 Speaker 1: from doing it, I think achieve how do you create 1095 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: balance in the universe by doing that? I think they're selfish. 1096 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,440 Speaker 1: I think it's like, why do you think you're more 1097 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,280 Speaker 1: important than us? The analog actually speaking of how fucking 1098 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 1: horrible cars are, are the people that like don't merge 1099 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 1: for their exit that they you know, when there's a 1100 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 1: line at the exit, they go all the way up 1101 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: and then they and then they just try to cut in. 1102 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: It's cutting. They're cutting. Wait, what do you mean, oh, 1103 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: like you're like, yeah, when you're on like a freeway 1104 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 1: over change, yeah, or people. Yeah, it's like it's like 1105 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 1: cutting of any kind the thing. Yeah, all right. In 1106 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 1: my opinion, there's a line to get off the plane 1107 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: because the most efficient way, unfortunately, is front. You know, 1108 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: it's out first. Okay, I agree with that because when 1109 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: I you know, they're like living in the valley, commuting 1110 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: to the west side, the one oh one, four or 1111 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 1: five interchange is chalk full of these cutter motherfuckers. Yeah, okay, yes, 1112 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,320 Speaker 1: And I'm like, why am I looking at the fucking 1113 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 1: time it takes and going there? Now? Look, sometimes I 1114 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: do a thing. I'm like, I'm saying, who's mom mark 1115 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,359 Speaker 1: today when I'm trying to cut, because sometimes you can 1116 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 1: see like the Abordian action of the fucking traffic and 1117 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: you're like, hold on, who who is it? Who is Oh? 1118 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 1: There you are and you're are over just a little 1119 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: so they can't get through. Yeah. And then there are 1120 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 1: other times when I see the cutters come through, watch 1121 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: me like I'll throw them open my doors like I 1122 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 1: used to do so I would do some shit like 1123 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 1: that to stop somebody from cutting. I've since moved on 1124 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,919 Speaker 1: with h and I've learned that I cannot control those things. 1125 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 1: And to think that me cutting that person off will 1126 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,360 Speaker 1: change that for the entire world is an act of futility. 1127 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 1: But you know what, doctor James, I'll do whatever the 1128 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 1: fuck I want to, Okay, because sometimes I'm in a 1129 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,879 Speaker 1: bad mood. That's but that's it. It's cutting is why. 1130 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: It's it's whatever energy you see someone cutting in line 1131 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 1: just because the line isn't physically there in a plane, 1132 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 1: there is a line.

It's like cutting to 1138 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,400 Speaker 1: just get off the plane like thirty seconds before somebody 1139 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 1: else like it. It's almost sort of pointless. I don't care, 1140 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 1: Like it's not a big deal to me, but it's 1141 00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 1: sort of like what are you getting up for? We're 1142 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,879 Speaker 1: all like, like I said, you've been on the plane 1143 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 1: for two hours. You can't wait for more minute. My 1144 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,680 Speaker 1: favorite is like the Cutters, when like they call people 1145 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: like Okay, now we're boarding a group one, or like 1146 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 1: we're about to be up whatever group, And like I 1147 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 1: used to have, like when I was fine a lot more, 1148 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 1: I used to have like status that I would get 1149 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 1: in group one all the time. And I remember band 1150 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: getting up. This fucking white guy's older white guy. He 1151 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: pulled up and he's like, uh, He's like, I think 1152 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 1: group one's you know, about to board. He's like, so 1153 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's a group two. And I was like, 1154 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,680 Speaker 1: I put on my boarding pass and I just went, 1155 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 1: I think you're in the wrong place. And I was 1156 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,279 Speaker 1: just like, see this people cutter motherfucker's like you. Plus 1157 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: you're a little assumption that I'm not again, like I'm 1158 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,759 Speaker 1: not doing all this fucking business travel too. I maybe 1159 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: that's it. It's it's that this this to me has 1160 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,040 Speaker 1: grown not out of a principle, but out of the 1161 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 1: reality of who actually does this shit, because it's so 1162 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,520 Speaker 1: often white guys that I just hate them so much. 1163 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:58,239 Speaker 1: So I'm like, all I can do is stymy them, right, 1164 00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 1: and that is my act of whatever. But it takes 1165 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: that's how you bring balance to the universe. Yeah, but 1166 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 1: it takes a higher cost on me as you could tell, 1167 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: yeah that it brings any joy or that's the hard 1168 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,719 Speaker 1: thing about being the rule enforcer. I feel like it's like, yeah, 1169 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 1: you're you're trying to bring justice to the universe, but 1170 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,919 Speaker 1: these guys don't give a shit exacting a higher toll 1171 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,120 Speaker 1: on you.
