Speaker 1: how to even talk about this in a smart way.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Everybody I talk to is like, dang,
Speaker 1: time goes by real quick. Huh the days are long?
Speaker 1: Or yeah, the days are long, the years are short.
Speaker 1: The podcasts are infinite, Like I feel, yeah, like podcast
Speaker 1: time is because it's so much of being on in
Speaker 1: the same format, Like it's just every episode is like
Speaker 1: a drop in the infinite time loop of the daily zeitgeist.
Speaker 1: For me, I don't I can hardly differentiate one episode
Speaker 1: to the next. I'm like, yeah, as we were talking
Speaker 1: about the other day, and it's like you mentioned that
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like in a little pocket Universe of Zone.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, it's like Severance. Wow, but what do you

Speaker 1: They actually like their jobs. Okay, oh okay, soocho uh
Speaker 1: fizz A. Wonderful to have you back. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We're gonna talk about the experience of owning
Speaker 1: a cyber truck. This has been a question that I've had.
Speaker 1: What's it like for those people, I mean cyber truck
Speaker 1: in particular, they should have known better when they when
Speaker 1: they bought them, Like at that point he was well
Speaker 1: on his way to the open Nazi salutes, et cetera.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just like, what's that like to be associated
Speaker 1: with Elon Musk these days? We'll check in with them.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with The La Times. Obviously, there's the
Speaker 1: famous billionaire owned paper of Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post.
Speaker 1: But we got our own. Don't forget about us over
Speaker 1: here in La The La Times has a billionaire owner
Speaker 1: who's got some interesting ideas about how to keep things
Speaker 1: fair and balanced. So we'll talk about that, We'll talk
Speaker 1: about how Trump is saving neoliberalism in Canada inadvertently, all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, physic we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll just give you the last thing that
Speaker 5: I googled how many miles is going around the Earth?
Speaker 5: And I was about to Yeah, I was about to
Speaker 5: do an audition where I played a lab technician for
Speaker 5: an auto manufacturer, and I don't know what that looks like.
Speaker 5: So I just was thinking of facts that I could
Speaker 5: just maybe spit out to seem like you know what
Speaker 5: I'm talking about, Uh huh. In case you're curious, it's
Speaker 5: Earth's circumference is twenty four nine hundred and one miles.
Speaker 4: So if you are you going to.
Speaker 1: Use that, just give me a little flavor how you're
Speaker 1: going to drop that little fact in the audition.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I was looking. I was sort of in
Speaker 5: my mind's eye seeing a lab where a car was
Speaker 5: being tested in the lap. So it's not physically driving
Speaker 5: around right, driving on those.
Speaker 1: Little wheel roller thing. Yeah, so a lot of treadmills.
Speaker 5: I was really slick about it. I was kind of
Speaker 5: cool about it. I was like, I was like, huh,
Speaker 5: look at my little notepad. You've gone around the earth,
Speaker 5: or I said.
Speaker 4: I said the number.
Speaker 5: It was like, uh, twenty four thousand and nine whatever
Speaker 5: times ten, so it was like four hundred.
Speaker 4: I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. Forty miles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've been around the world ten times, the.
Speaker 1: World ten times. Yeah, And then like a producer is like,
Speaker 1: hold on one second, I think that's that's a circumference.
Speaker 1: That's the actual circumference of the earth. Okay, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: back out the math check now. We found her. We
Speaker 1: found her. We found her. That's cool. That is a
Speaker 1: fun fact. That's also like the sort of thing I'm
Speaker 1: always looking up as a as a father, you know, right,
Speaker 1: like kids have curious questions like that. So yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: do you still remember how many feet in a mile? Jack?
Speaker 1: It's either fifty to eighty. Yeah. Yeah. I always am
Speaker 1: between twenty five hundred and eighty or fifty five two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty and never get it right. Hey, the
Speaker 1: numbers are there though, the number I have the numbers,
Speaker 1: they are in the wrong order everything, But that's all good,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 4: But you know what, They're in the cloud, that's.
Speaker 1: Right there there.
Speaker 5: If I don't know a fact, I'm like, it's in
Speaker 5: the cloud. Let me just you know, google it bumpers down.
Speaker 4: You know everything in it.
Speaker 1: What is something physically you think is underrated? Oh?
Speaker 4: Man, robes? I'm actually wearing one right now.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I I caught that high pile fleece
Speaker 1: robe with the leftoard print. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think people think of it as homewhere,
Speaker 5: but I would love to bring robes out into the
Speaker 5: world to formal events. Even they're I think they're stylish,
Speaker 5: They're they're flattering, they cinch at the waist, which it
Speaker 5: gives you a silhouette, keeps you warm.
Speaker 4: I opted for a robe instead of a jacket today.
Speaker 1: I mean historically, like like, aren't robes like the pop
Speaker 1: in like the most popping ship you could wear, really,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And then we just kind
Speaker 1: of made them bathrobes. I feel like if somebody pulled
Speaker 1: up like like an emperor, Yeah yeah, bring back to
Speaker 1: fucking emperor robes. Now. This is this is how we
Speaker 1: embrace the class war, is that we wear our bathrobes
Speaker 1: out to show people like we are. We are the
Speaker 1: you know, the nobility of you need something, you know,
Speaker 1: like they're there are umbrellas in Hong Kong there, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody like has their They had a bit of a
Speaker 1: function too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, those are those are functional,
Speaker 1: I think, But like bathrobes are functional in that they're
Speaker 1: so fucking comfy. Yeah, so comfy. Who's gonna get I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like a billionaire that's their nightmare to I
Speaker 1: would never wear a bathrobe in public. That's how would
Speaker 1: they know I'm a billionaire.
Speaker 3: And what I mean, I don't give a fuck. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be comfortable. This is my bathrobe. I've got multiple robes.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna front. There is the concept of pajama
Speaker 1: rich that where you get so rich that you just
Speaker 1: start wearing your pajamas out into public. Also, I feel
Speaker 1: like wearing a pajama set is a flex Like I've
Speaker 1: I like in one of these sort of like fire
Speaker 1: relief clothing boxes I got. There are like many things
Speaker 1: like were like nice pajama sets that were donated and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I've never worn a pajama set in my life,
Speaker 1: and part of me felt like I was the was
Speaker 1: like class betrayal to like put on this like Brooks
Speaker 1: Brothers pajama set, someone that donated. I'm like, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't wear this shit. I need to wear basketball
Speaker 1: shorts and no shirt. Okay. So pajama rich comes I
Speaker 1: think from a Bill Simmons The Sports Guy column where
Speaker 1: he was talking about Jack Nicholson coming to a Lakers
Speaker 1: game in his pajamas and nobody cared because he's pajama rich.
Speaker 1: And Hugh Hefner also famously, I think the one person
Speaker 1: who has pulled it off. It just needs to be
Speaker 1: a fancy enough road, right Like Hugh Hefner's robes were
Speaker 1: like silk and ship. You know it was a smoking
Speaker 1: jacket that went down to the floor. Whereas you know
Speaker 1: it just can't look past all the allegations when he
Speaker 1: wears I'm just chilling. The thing about me is I'm
Speaker 1: a chill How often you wear that robe? Is it? Like?
Speaker 1: I know you say you like it, but are we?
Speaker 1: Are we for real? Do you step in?
Speaker 4: I wear a robe on a daily basis.
Speaker 5: I'm known in my neighborhood as I have two big
Speaker 5: huskies that I walked around the world. So this is
Speaker 5: this is one rope I have. I have one in
Speaker 5: black with a fuzzy, fuzzy neck collar. I have one
Speaker 5: that says doctor desani, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 1: You have one that's like actual, like a doctor's lab
Speaker 1: coat or a bathrobe that just that is giving white
Speaker 1: coat scientists, doctor vibes.
Speaker 5: I do have a white coat as well, just for yeah,
Speaker 5: and to trick people into letting you get them shots.
Speaker 3: That is the cool thing about being Asian. We can
Speaker 3: lie about being a doctor anywhere. Yeah you know, doctor,
Speaker 3: They're just not me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, I'll pull up. I'll pull up in
Speaker 1: a hoodie and just say I'm a doctor and people like,
Speaker 1: oh thank you. I'm like yeah, and I'm in I'm
Speaker 1: in dermatology. That's what my skin looks like this. Can
Speaker 1: you pick out the way now?
Speaker 5: Shirtless and shoeless, I'm a dermatologist, a p dietrist.
Speaker 1: Do it all. That's right. Do you think you've walked
Speaker 1: your dogs twenty four nine and one miles? Oh absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: you've done a full lap.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do about I do about like five miles
Speaker 4: a day.
Speaker 1: Let me do that back.
Speaker 4: It's twenty four thousand whatever.
Speaker 1: Divide yeah, yeah, no, it checks out. Wait, you do
Speaker 1: five miles of dog walking a day total?
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn that doesn't fucking I have a small dog
Speaker 3: this day and he hates walking. He's let's take a ship.
Speaker 3: I gotta go back inside.
Speaker 1: I'm not. He's like small, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So there's like different levels of exercise that they need.
Speaker 1: But damn, that's a fucking that's a good walk you
Speaker 1: could take. Listen to a lot of shit on that one,
Speaker 1: all right. And what fizza is something that you think
Speaker 1: is overrated?
Speaker 5: Apple air pods or any sort of earbuds that just
Speaker 5: stick inside your ear and don't have something that attaches
Speaker 5: to your ear. This is more of a personal thing.
Speaker 5: I just hate the way it feels. Yeah, and they
Speaker 5: fall out, and I just you know, when you're on
Speaker 5: an airplane, you're you feel like like your ear is
Speaker 5: stuff up. I don't know, I feel like it.
Speaker 1: Feels like how do you feel? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I feel oh like just from the pressure seal like around.
Speaker 3: It just feels a little bit. Yeah, okay, I get that.
Speaker 1: And the noise cancelation on those does freak me out
Speaker 1: a little bit. Where you put it in and it's
Speaker 1: just like zoom. You feel like you're just like inside
Speaker 1: a balloon all of a sudden, What the fuck is
Speaker 1: going on here? Yeah? I love that, Like equal my
Speaker 1: equilibrium gets a little fucked.
Speaker 4: Up, falling because I have no balance, went like.
Speaker 1: Ies crossing, You're like, bro, they put it like during
Speaker 1: the testing of the AirPods, they put it in and
Speaker 1: people just start falling over the early ones. Good yeah,
Speaker 1: oh god, get it up. Have you seen that? I
Speaker 1: actually really like that sensation. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I think I was, like, I'm one of those kids
Speaker 3: who like tried to hide in the tiniest boxes, Like
Speaker 3: I'm the opposite of claustrophobic.
Speaker 1: I like to claustrophilic. I guess that's why they're drawn
Speaker 1: to each other miles. Yeah, and why we just hold
Speaker 1: each other so tight. Wheah you see each other.
Speaker 4: Maybe you guys can share a coffin in the afterlife.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. It wouldn't be tight enough. How are
Speaker 1: we face or uh penis to button or six classic
Speaker 1: that's like Lincoln lugs exactly, or they don't fit or
Speaker 1: they don't fit right. But yeah, like have you seen
Speaker 1: those clips of like those rooms that are truly like
Speaker 1: sound vacuums, like they're designed for no sound waves to
Speaker 1: like move in them. Yeah, though they're like total back.
Speaker 1: I think they have to be like have the air
Speaker 1: sucked out of them, like yeah, yeah yeah, And they
Speaker 1: say that is so disorienting, and part of me is like, bro,
Speaker 1: I want to know that. I want to know the
Speaker 1: extreme of most humans in sensations.
Speaker 3: So if y'all work in one of those research facilities
Speaker 3: and you can, if you're down to have a four
Speaker 3: year old just come through to fuck around in there
Speaker 3: for like five minutes.
Speaker 1: Through, let me know. Yeah. I think those cost like
Speaker 1: millions of dollars to create, Like they create them for
Speaker 1: like to to build like the James web Space Telescope
Speaker 1: and like shit like that where they can't have any
Speaker 1: germs or like imperfections touching a thing. They'll like create
Speaker 1: a whole room that's a vacuum, so that like the
Speaker 1: germs is like fall right to the ground or whatever.
Speaker 1: But you're like, hey, could I just like kind of
Speaker 1: drunk drive through there? Yeah? I can? I play some
Speaker 1: SoundCloud off my cell phone in here? Well tell me
Speaker 1: your doctor, yeah exactly exactly. They're like, are those official
Speaker 1: doctors sandals you're wearing? Yeah? The doctors. Doctors wear some
Speaker 1: fucked up shoes because they need comfort. You know, they're
Speaker 1: on their feet all day. So you're good there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. The white robe is like approximating it, but
Speaker 1: it's clearly a bathrobe. And doctor Miles is written in sharp.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that's fucking it up. I spell
Speaker 1: Miles with like white tape, all crudely, just on that.
Speaker 1: And you have loose cigarettes coming out of your podcast.
Speaker 3: And I'm wearing I'm wearing a commemorative Scrubs Rewatch podcast
Speaker 3: t shirt. I'd be like, dude, I'm a doctor. Why
Speaker 3: would I be wearing this because my favorite podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 3: went to medical school. Yeah, watching Scrubs one and a
Speaker 3: half times all the way through. All right, let's uh,
Speaker 3: let's take a quick break, should we Should we do that?
Speaker 1: Should we take a little break? Do we come back
Speaker 1: and talk about some news? Yes, let's do it. I'll
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. And I've been waiting
Speaker 1: for the backlash, and I mean it's coming. Like Tesla
Speaker 1: stock is way down right like that, it's going down
Speaker 1: and doing badly, not readily as I think it deserves,
Speaker 1: but it's been badly. It's definitely on its way down.
Speaker 1: There's definitely a lot of debate over if it's actual
Speaker 1: people boycotting the brand, if it's just generally it's on
Speaker 1: a downward slope because Tesla's have become less of desirable
Speaker 1: in the EV market, but because like there are some
Speaker 1: that are claiming they're like, yes, yes, folks, this is
Speaker 1: what we did to Elon Musk and know people like,
Speaker 1: it's hard to exactly say if it's just because the
Speaker 1: Trump shitter, just because the guys sucks overall and people
Speaker 1: fucking hate him. It's hard to tell, but it is,
Speaker 1: it's not doing great, but also it's yeah, it's volid.
Speaker 1: It's always been volatile. It was at its peak like
Speaker 1: after he after the election, like right after I think
Speaker 1: Inauguration day, right before I guess like December was its
Speaker 1: peak of all time, and since then it has fallen sharply,
Speaker 1: but probably, you know, hard to differentiate as of yet.
Speaker 1: I do just feel like it's got to be so
Speaker 1: much less cool to own a Tesla now than it
Speaker 1: ever has been in the history of that car or
Speaker 1: any maybe Volkswagen during World War Two. But it's not
Speaker 1: not that people didn't put it together. I don't think
Speaker 1: they were super popular anyway. It's Hitler's what's wait, what's
Speaker 1: that car he's in right now? I think that. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know about driving around LA. I see people
Speaker 1: going hard as cyber trucks.
Speaker 6: I admittedly have also gone hard as a cyber truck owner. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I didn't do middle fingers, yeah, because my dad taught
Speaker 6: me better. But the thing I do is I'll give
Speaker 6: a thumbs down like this, just straight up, straight up.
Speaker 6: I think this is I think a thumbs down like
Speaker 6: just seeing like, you know, the ship where like you're
Speaker 6: in sort of bumper to bumper traffic and you're facing
Speaker 6: the opposite lane of traffic, so like I could look
Speaker 6: dead into the driver's eye. I'll just do some ship
Speaker 6: like I'm fucking what's the hero? I'll be like this no,
Speaker 6: And some people are like fuck you and really get masked.
Speaker 1: Some people get it reaction because part of me just
Speaker 1: feels like it's the most childish way to say fuck
Speaker 1: you is just yes, wow, thumbs down.
Speaker 5: But back in the day and what is the Roman
Speaker 5: Times or Greek Times at the Amphitheater.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was like life or dead.
Speaker 1: So and these motherfuckers do be thinking about ancient Rome,
Speaker 1: so maybe they are taking to be something. Damn, he
Speaker 1: just threatened our life. Yeah, so you have to be
Speaker 1: like no, but in a Ciscle and Ebert way.
Speaker 5: But you know what, some of them deserve that because
Speaker 5: I almost me and my dogs were walking. We almost
Speaker 5: got hit by a cyber truck that that ran a
Speaker 5: stop signed. So that guy gets a thumb.
Speaker 1: Down, you know, yeah, I would agree with that, but
Speaker 1: I mean for something like that that's a little more existential.
Speaker 3: I think you can go harder than a thumbs down
Speaker 3: to each their own. You don't have to engage all
Speaker 3: these people. But yes, the brand is not strong in
Speaker 3: this city, and it's to the point where people have
Speaker 3: to put like help me bumper stickers on their tesla's
Speaker 3: where they're like, hey, this was before the guy came
Speaker 3: out as a fascist dick bag. Is when I buy
Speaker 3: this further record, I didn't buy it because but I
Speaker 3: think that's why cyber truck owners get the stick because
Speaker 3: this shit has been for purchase in the New Boy
Speaker 3: era musk and there's real no plausible deniability around whether
Speaker 3: or not you like who's your politics, It did or
Speaker 3: didn't affect your purchase yeah, either way, a.
Speaker 5: Cyber truck let me merge and I just had cognitive dissonance.
Speaker 5: It was very difficult for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just slammed the brakes and break checked it
Speaker 1: to get over and it's like, fucking I had to
Speaker 1: do something. But in so, they've been in the news
Speaker 1: this week. First of all, Tesla's been in the news.
Speaker 1: Somebody lit I think the first Tesla not factory, but
Speaker 1: the first Tesla like showroom in France on fire and
Speaker 1: burnt it to the ground. Oh yeah, you know how
Speaker 1: France do. But there's just been a smattering of stories
Speaker 1: that suggest that owning a cyber truck means being subjected
Speaker 1: to never end, to a never ending gauntlet of embarrassment
Speaker 1: and shame. So there was Marty Grass Parade in New
Speaker 1: Orleans and a cyber truck rolled up and it was
Speaker 1: like all black but then had like flashing lights and
Speaker 1: kind of looked a little like the car from Night
Speaker 1: Rider was had some interesting stuff like I think in
Speaker 1: a yeah, it looked a little like kit but like
Speaker 1: also the lights were flashing on the top, so it
Speaker 1: could look like a cop car a little bit. But
Speaker 1: the second that rolled up, cops cyber trucks. Are they
Speaker 1: really Yeah yeah, wow, Yeah. The second that ship rolled up,
Speaker 1: it was just mercilessly booed un from the time it
Speaker 1: was in sight of the people on the side of
Speaker 1: the road. Some people on Reddit were also claiming that
Speaker 1: the car was pelted with beads aggressively until a window broke.
Speaker 4: Oh this windows suck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those windows that are supposed to be indestructible. Those
Speaker 1: accounts are unconfirmed and yet very funny. Wait, okay, so
Speaker 1: this is wow. This thing looks annoying as fun Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: well yeah, that's I don't know what that person thought
Speaker 1: the reaction was gonna be. Yeah, dude, my ass car.
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna fucking They probably like lived their life on
Speaker 1: I guess my thought heading into this was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they probably lived their life on like cyber truck enthusiast forums.
Speaker 1: But as we'll get to even those are not safe.
Speaker 1: Those are just people sharing horror stories of what it's
Speaker 1: like to drive around in a cyber truck. There's a
Speaker 1: report on four or four media about a Facebook group
Speaker 1: for cyber truck owners in which they commiserate about the
Speaker 1: shared hell of driving around in a cyber truck. Apparently
Speaker 1: people are constantly leaving notes containing messages like Nazi car
Speaker 1: and what's Elon's cum taste like, which is another way
Speaker 1: of giving the thumbs down a little bit more explicit.
Speaker 1: That must be so shattering to some cyber truck owner's
Speaker 1: soul to be like, but this is the stuff I
Speaker 1: should post on four chan coming back at me.
Speaker 4: Elon must come is delicious.
Speaker 1: It's really good. It's actually better than So that's some
Speaker 1: famous misconception, is that it wouldn't be good, but it's
Speaker 1: actually good. So you're actually the one who looks stupid
Speaker 1: right now, hired taste. Yeah yeah. People also kick the
Speaker 1: cars throw quote slices of cheese at them for some reason.
Speaker 1: No word on whether the cheese has shattered any windows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well probably. I think this is the thing that I
Speaker 1: also see too, is the amount of people who cope
Speaker 1: with their cyber truck and they're like, dude, it's just
Speaker 1: like such a fucking truck. Dude is so sick, Like
Speaker 1: it just does all this truck stuff because it's like
Speaker 1: man truck and I'm truck man with it. And there's
Speaker 1: also so many videos of it absolutely failing to do
Speaker 1: the most basic things like drive in just a little
Speaker 1: bit of snow or all this other stuff.
Speaker 3: And it's interesting to see how, like obviously with Elon
Speaker 3: Musk ascending to like the heights of government and sort
Speaker 3: of being like the winner at the moment in terms
Speaker 3: of like the socio political environment, that that hasn't really
Speaker 3: changed anything about traditional mask like American male masculinity. Like
Speaker 3: a truck is still like a Ford or a Dodge
Speaker 3: or a Chevy, you know what I mean, not this
Speaker 3: fucking weird like drawing of like from a fucking you know,
Speaker 3: octagonal like video game rendering car. And I don't know, Like,
Speaker 3: it's interesting to see how there's still that group of
Speaker 3: people who are like.
Speaker 1: Well, now younes on top. Behold, I'm one of these
Speaker 1: cyber truck guys. Now you'll celebrate me. Right, Wait, what's
Speaker 1: his com taste? Like? Hold on, but I thought we're winning.
Speaker 1: First of all, probably delicious. Second of all, how would
Speaker 1: I know? Okay, yeah, yeah, but there's so these cyber
Speaker 1: truck groups. Facebook groups are you know, first of all
Speaker 1: entertaining because you get to see the collection of all
Speaker 1: all the people flinging them off. But it also reveals
Speaker 1: something scary, which is that cyber trucks are outfitted with
Speaker 1: so many cameras that they can catch like every they're like, look,
Speaker 1: this person's rolling their eyes as they drive by in
Speaker 1: the opposite lane on the four or five right right,
Speaker 1: like they have just like super obsess over it. They're
Speaker 1: insecurities played by plate. Oh my god, this fucking guy
Speaker 1: gave me three thumbs downs those recording in century mode.
Speaker 1: That's what they call it, century mode Jesus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I've also seen people post like how the
Speaker 3: camera rays work, and they're like being like, it's there
Speaker 3: aren't that many blind spots.
Speaker 1: But hey, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: anyone is a tesla mechanic and you can tell us
Speaker 1: how to completely render those cameras useless, maybe by simply
Speaker 1: turning it on because it's a tesla. But I'm curious
Speaker 1: to know these kinds of tips and tricks. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: they're also trying to identify the people who like who
Speaker 1: are flipping them off for giving them thumbs down. Miles,
Speaker 1: you should you should go on these forums to make
Speaker 1: sure very very free speech, very free speech absolutist, I know, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're all about free speech and uh you know, making
Speaker 1: comedy legal. I'm gonna I'm gonna fucking sue that twelve
Speaker 1: year old that rolled their eyes at me. Oh Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: God bless you. We tell you about that time when
Speaker 1: I first learned the flip off motion like this one,
Speaker 1: you know, the the arm the yeah, the full four.
Speaker 1: My friend and I when we were like five, learned
Speaker 1: that and then we just went in my backyard to
Speaker 1: the street that went behind my house and just flipped
Speaker 1: off everything that like just full, full, whole body flip off.
Speaker 4: What does that imply?
Speaker 5: Elbow deep Like that's way worse than a finger, like,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know, I'm just going off.
Speaker 1: The you know, makes does make more sense, like because
Speaker 1: you're stopping at a certain point, but it's like, so universe,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna.
Speaker 7: Stick my fist up yours. You're giving them, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: up to the bicep. Anything more would be would be
Speaker 7: would be a little I believe, yeah, or I would
Speaker 7: be charged with murder.
Speaker 1: So let's be real. Anyways, I got in trouble, Oh
Speaker 1: you did. Somebody pulled over and little assholes. It was
Speaker 1: like wheeling West Virginia. It wasn't like a big pound
Speaker 1: so I probably like flipped off my three neighbors. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're like, this is O'Brien, your son is out
Speaker 1: back giving everybody the full body a little burst your asshole.
Speaker 5: You're young enough you could just say, I, you know,
Speaker 5: you could the plausible deniability of I don't know what
Speaker 5: it means.
Speaker 1: I think that's what I went with, even though like
Speaker 1: the whole point was that I had just learned what
Speaker 1: it meant. I don't think my mom meant believed me.
Speaker 1: I still remember lies I told at this period of
Speaker 1: my life, and damn, well, don't put it on wax
Speaker 1: is gonna come back to haunt you. Your mom's I
Speaker 1: knew it. I fucking knew it. You're it. Yeah, Jack
Speaker 1: knew the whole time. Honey, get in here. You don't
Speaker 1: believe I just heard on his podcast one guy on
Speaker 1: Facebook is claiming that his roofing business lost seventy grand
Speaker 1: in business that purely because of his cyber truck. Yeah
Speaker 1: because well, I mean I guess he like incorporates cyber
Speaker 1: trucks into his business. Oh you know those are the
Speaker 1: trucks that they use on business. And somebody was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna give them our work, and then we
Speaker 1: canceled the contract because this guy, Yeah, they.
Speaker 5: Don't want their property with cyber trucks all over them. Promise,
Speaker 5: not a good look. So this guy just invested in
Speaker 5: the wrong course.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went. I think in some yeah, some parts,
Speaker 1: they're like they like Elon Musk because of the edge
Speaker 1: words ship, and then they're shocked when people are associating
Speaker 1: that with them because they bought the edge Lord car
Speaker 1: and like they're they're like me in the backyard being
Speaker 1: like doing the thing that's edge Lord and then being like, well,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what it meant, right, They're just stuck.
Speaker 1: They're just stuck into like here comes a car.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: And then when someone when someone goes, excuse me, I
Speaker 3: think your kids like flicking people?
Speaker 1: What the fuck?
Speaker 4: What I thought it was?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? I thought it meant GGI loser
Speaker 1: shit loser shiit me and cyber truck owners that's what
Speaker 1: we haven't Yeah, I'll find out. I did like this one.
Speaker 1: Another cyber truck owner on the Facebook group pointed out
Speaker 1: that actually all this hate is a good thing for
Speaker 1: Tesla because Elon Musk is a genius and quote the
Speaker 1: massive online negativity is actually fueling more curiosity and exposure.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, similar, like when you post crimes on the
Speaker 3: internet and then there's a lot of uh, you know,
Speaker 3: curiosity from the police investigating it. Yeah, it's like great, dude,
Speaker 3: it's like so bad they write about us in.
Speaker 1: A very mocking tone. Oh yeah, well look well we
Speaker 1: all cope in our own ways, so sort of like the.
Speaker 5: All publicity is good publicity. But right, I mean, the
Speaker 5: real question I think is is are sales up?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: No hours ago? In the New York Times, Tesla sales
Speaker 1: slump in Europe as anger toward Elon Musk grows performing
Speaker 1: markets as global Slit sales plumb. It Yeah, so not
Speaker 1: popular than you, I mean in Europe. In the US
Speaker 1: might still be hanging on because of because they people
Speaker 1: want to prove that they're not part of the wolkline virus. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here's I think this is a good sign. Tesla brings
Speaker 1: back zero percent loans to boost am hand in the US. Wow,
Speaker 1: zero percent loans. Damn bro, this fucking environment. I'm yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll wow. I love a zero percent love.
Speaker 4: But not for give it Tesla away.
Speaker 1: You're gonna actually fucking need some good sales figures here,
Speaker 1: Could we just give you these cars and like you
Speaker 1: just pay us back whenever is good? They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: fucking taking the public library approached. You can just have
Speaker 1: this like honestly, we yeah, no, it's yours, free and clear.
Speaker 1: And then just like, do you think you could pay
Speaker 1: us back at some point that would be cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't want to bung you out. No worries if not,
Speaker 1: no worries if not forgiveness. All right, we speaking of
Speaker 1: from one billionaire to the next to this is our country.
Speaker 1: We we've covered Jeff Bezos completely shipping all over the
Speaker 1: Washington Post, But what about South African Los Angeles Times
Speaker 1: billionaire owner Patrick Soon Shung? Yeah, who is doing something?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know genius something this is. I
Speaker 1: just want to give the backdrop because now, remember than
Speaker 1: when the LA Times were like, we're not gonna endorse
Speaker 1: Kamala and his daughter came out and said it had
Speaker 1: to do with Gaza. Yeah yeah it was. Now I'm like,
Speaker 1: he's actually too far left for you guys. He's the
Speaker 1: most far left billionaire you've ever met. And now with
Speaker 1: this is I'm like, far far left South African billionaire
Speaker 1: out there, which means you're just you're not a Nazi,
Speaker 1: You're more I guess a clan member. I guess it's
Speaker 1: how that would work well, which makes sense because so
Speaker 1: Patrick soon Shang is doing something even more howardly than
Speaker 1: bezos to the op eds. He's touting a new AI
Speaker 1: bot as a way to bring quote balance to opinion pieces.
Speaker 1: So this is something he tweeted out with this new
Speaker 1: feature that is going to go along with certain articles
Speaker 1: to give people just a taste of like if there's
Speaker 1: bias or just counterplat say quote.
Speaker 3: Now the voice in perspective from all sides can be heard, seen,
Speaker 3: and read.
Speaker 1: No more echo chamber thanks to our talented content management
Speaker 1: software team running this Graphene platform. So essentially, you read
Speaker 1: an op ed, users can click to generate a summary
Speaker 1: of the op ed, and then that AI summary can
Speaker 1: provide fucking counterpoints to that to help someone understand that
Speaker 1: the KKK was not bad. Well, that's what actually happened.
Speaker 1: It was a cultural movement, miles. What else do you
Speaker 1: need to know? Yes? What books are you scraping for
Speaker 1: these answers? Ay? I?
Speaker 3: So columnist Gustavo Ariano, he put a road a piece
Speaker 3: in the La Times about the City of Anaheim's deep
Speaker 3: eyes to the Ku Klux Klan and that the city
Speaker 3: council missed an opportunity to grapple with that sordid past
Speaker 3: when they didn't acknowledge the one hundred year anniversary of
Speaker 3: said city council ousting clan members. They're like, nope, can't
Speaker 3: be here anymore.
Speaker 1: Sorry. But he's a pretty straightforward opinion piece. You know,
Speaker 1: he's giving analysis on a historical fact and then adding
Speaker 1: the pot we should maybe be proud of fighting against
Speaker 1: like authoritarianism and institutional open racism at a time when
Speaker 1: that is skyrocketing around the country, Like maybe maybe this
Speaker 1: would have been a nice thing to remember that people
Speaker 1: used to have courage and remember you can just do
Speaker 1: this thing and just say, well, that's just like your opinion, man.
Speaker 1: But is that what this is aid? No, the AI
Speaker 1: added this tidbit that everyone's like, why is it caping
Speaker 1: for the clan? Quote. Local historical accounts occasionally framed the
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties Klan as a product of quote white Protestant
Speaker 1: culture responding to societal changes, rather than an explicitly hate
Speaker 1: driven movement, minimizing its ideological threat. So they were responding
Speaker 1: to societal changes. Really, in many ways, they were following
Speaker 1: the teachings of Jesus's that's what that was all about.
Speaker 1: White product. First of all, a product of white Protestant
Speaker 1: culture implies so much white supremacy that to suggests that
Speaker 1: that's it's just this rewording of white supremacy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, white responding to societal changes. So it's
Speaker 3: a product of racists responding to demographic racial demographic shifts
Speaker 3: around them and realizing that violence was the answer to
Speaker 3: try and preserve their small worldview.
Speaker 1: But yeah, minimizing its ideological threat. I do like that.
Speaker 1: I mean they basically described so some people use this
Speaker 1: wording to minimize how scary it seems, but it's still
Speaker 1: white supremacy. They just don't say that part. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, of course that's so AI. This is good stuff.
Speaker 3: Can I imagine someone just write an op ed about
Speaker 3: this civil war, so this stupid fucking robot will be
Speaker 3: like if this is a this is a disagreement about
Speaker 3: economic priorities and nothing else to see. That's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: We'll move on.
Speaker 3: The feature, though, was taken down after I think someone
Speaker 3: at the Times bothered to see what this fucking thing
Speaker 3: was even saying to people, But many other journalists pointed
Speaker 3: out very quickly, so they took it down and the
Speaker 3: cool shit, but it's still up on other portions of
Speaker 3: the La Times website. I think, you know, some people
Speaker 3: are reporting it as like an l for the La Times.
Speaker 3: But this is exactly what these billionaire pricks want. They
Speaker 3: want to obscure facts. So as long as people come
Speaker 3: away with a narrative that normalizes inequality, then we're good.
Speaker 1: Then we're good. That's kind of even if it even
Speaker 1: if it goes against maybe what I believe a certain point,
Speaker 1: it's better to have people completely in disagreement over the
Speaker 1: most basic things so they can't sort of coalesce around
Speaker 1: the theme about maybe just wealth hoarding and who's to
Speaker 1: blame for that.
Speaker 5: There's an agenda here, it's I mean, we're being told that, oh,
Speaker 5: it's to provide a balance perspective, but you know what,
Speaker 5: some things do we really need a balanced perspective over,
Speaker 5: like to where you know, do we need to warm
Speaker 5: up towards the KKK?
Speaker 4: Is that necessary? But what's scary is some people might.
Speaker 3: Say yeah, yeah, no, of course and I think for
Speaker 3: people to say, like for I'm sure one of the
Speaker 3: biggest impediments for these like rabid white supremacists, like people
Speaker 3: like still give a fuck about each other. That's the
Speaker 3: biggest problem. Like we're not just willing to all the
Speaker 3: time throw people on the wastepile. I mean, we very
Speaker 3: much are in certain respects, but.
Speaker 1: I think being able to give people the logic to
Speaker 1: like sort of attach themselves to these really hateful ideologies
Speaker 1: without it like sort of in its face being like
Speaker 1: this is hateful ideology. It's like, no, I'm a Nazi
Speaker 1: because of societal changes I'm responding to right, And that's
Speaker 1: why Nazism, I think gets a bad rap is kind
Speaker 1: of like this sort of the way they want to
Speaker 1: sort of normalize this kind of thing, because that's one
Speaker 1: of the biggest things. It's just funny that Nazi is
Speaker 1: such a bad like loaded word in American culture that
Speaker 1: even Republicans say it to attack Democrats, like so you
Speaker 1: know it is bad, Like you only say that because
Speaker 1: you know it is bad. But okay, go on, go on,
Speaker 1: yes it's bad, but we're not allowed to wave like
Speaker 1: they did. Come on, I mean, yeah, yes, free speech
Speaker 1: pre speech.
Speaker 4: We still got the thumbs down.
Speaker 1: We have the thumbs down. They get to do nothing.
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna give a thumbs down to me
Speaker 1: and my sick car, I at least get to do
Speaker 1: a Nazi salute, Okay, I would do if.
Speaker 3: How horrifying that would be if like a like a
Speaker 3: if people just walk around Wall Street just giving every
Speaker 3: dude in a suit of thumbs down, like like they
Speaker 3: just pull up like in their way.
Speaker 1: Just go. I mean, we take them to their core.
Speaker 1: We talked yesterday about how ineffectual and scattered the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party's response to Trump's speech was. If they had all
Speaker 1: just showed up fucking and just given the silent dead
Speaker 1: thumbs down, yeah, yeah the whole time. Yeah, it would
Speaker 1: have been so stupid, Like I kind of would have
Speaker 1: liked it would have been more unified than whatever the
Speaker 1: fuck that ship was on Tuesday. Yeah, the PLA so sad.
Speaker 1: We're like, maybe they can fight the fascist off with
Speaker 1: the thumbs down kind of, and that's an improvement on
Speaker 1: what we saw.
Speaker 4: Oh, we got some elbows.
Speaker 1: The whole going down so hard. When I was doing
Speaker 1: it as a five year old, I was like, fool
Speaker 1: body ship was bruised and ship after Yeah, just dislocating
Speaker 1: my shoulders. Given the frequency of you doing that, So
Speaker 1: what did you give like one car like five? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You gun fire semi automatic? U middle finger? What is
Speaker 1: that gesture called? It's not the middle finger, it's the
Speaker 1: up years, I guess would be what it's called up
Speaker 1: yours with two thirds of my arms. I'm trying to see, like,
Speaker 1: what is no? Seriously, let me put two thirds of
Speaker 1: my arm up your ass.
Speaker 4: I mean that's one way to say.
Speaker 1: I love you, That's exactly, And that's what I tried
Speaker 1: to explain to my mom and she's not having it. Mom,
Speaker 1: What better way to express my love for our neighbors?
Speaker 1: I suppose I spoke like a forty eight year old
Speaker 1: guy from Brooklyn when I was five. Ma, come on, ma,
Speaker 1: really all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're we're back.
Speaker 1: Could see, Oh hey, what's going on up in Canada? Canada? Canada?
Speaker 1: So just an unintended outcome of Donald Trump's five D
Speaker 1: chess that is actually like half a dimension.
Speaker 4: I feel like like one dimensions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like five D chess implies he's playing chess
Speaker 1: five moves in advance, and I think he is not
Speaker 1: even thinking about the move he's making as he's making it.
Speaker 1: I think it's less No, he's moving the chess pieces
Speaker 1: on a board or they're like, bro, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: Paun can't move like a queen. Bro, yeah, I can't watch.
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, you you're gonna lose that, all right, final,
Speaker 1: I'll do this. And he's like that's not a good movie. Oh,
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. And then he just puts a
Speaker 1: handgun on the table and says, I can't. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: oh no, that's a toy. That's clearly a toy gun.
Speaker 1: It's got the whole thing there, all right. So he
Speaker 1: is basically and maybe there is an argument to be
Speaker 1: made that this is a successful five D chest thing,
Speaker 1: because the only thing that's going to keep fascism alive
Speaker 1: is the continued survival of like neolib shit, you know, right,
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe this is five I feel like this
Speaker 1: is what he's just like knocking shit over and it
Speaker 1: just keeps turning up like fucking aces for him. I'm
Speaker 1: just mixing all my board all my table games here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but uh, so a few months ago, Trudeau announced he
Speaker 1: was resigning. A new party leader would be chosen, with
Speaker 1: an election happening at some point later this year. His
Speaker 1: unpopularity was like unprecedented. People were just completely out on
Speaker 1: his bullshit. Much very similar to Biden. It was just
Speaker 1: he was incredibly unpopular. His policies like this sort of
Speaker 1: neoliberal goal of being like, hey, we want to help you.
Speaker 1: Here are some policies that help you, and then they
Speaker 1: ultimately just are means for funneling wealth towards wealthy people
Speaker 1: and corporations. People were like, fuck this, maybe we need
Speaker 1: and so the stage was set for a massive liberal defeat,
Speaker 1: much like we saw in the US. I know, the
Speaker 1: margins weren't massive, but like when you take into account
Speaker 1: like what should have happened given Trump what platform? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really a massive defeat and complete fuck up
Speaker 1: by the Democratic Party. So now though that Trump has
Speaker 1: come into office and has threatened Canada with all in
Speaker 1: every way basically I mean very implied implied military threats
Speaker 1: of being like we're gonna you're gonna be our fifty
Speaker 1: first state. But obviously the big one is the economic tariffs.
Speaker 1: He has come back and been like that this guy's
Speaker 1: inn asshole. You know. He like did a direct address
Speaker 1: to Americans was like I'm sorry you're doing this to yourself,
Speaker 1: and that has been incredibly popular in Canada. Everybody is like, uh, well,
Speaker 1: I guess the election used to be about like domestic
Speaker 1: Canadian policies, but now it's all about fending off threats
Speaker 1: posed by the Trump administration. Their numbers has like shot.
Speaker 4: Up nothing like a common enemy.
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, exactly, totally to bring the.
Speaker 5: People together, right yeah, I mean it's the best thing
Speaker 5: that happened to Trudeau.
Speaker 1: It is wild when like I just you know, as
Speaker 1: our elections are happening all like Canadian Z that game,
Speaker 1: we're like, we're right behind you, We're right behind you,
Speaker 1: We're about to go We're about to flop to the
Speaker 1: right also, and then it's just like it's just wild
Speaker 1: how the emergence of this shithead Trump immediately like what
Speaker 1: the fuck like and it just sort of immediately has
Speaker 1: people been like, right, hold on a second, this guy
Speaker 1: is a fucking loser and dangerous and all the people
Speaker 1: that are parroting that shit like in our country like
Speaker 1: this is it cannot lead down? Ever is going on?
Speaker 1: So The person who was like favored to take over
Speaker 1: for Trudeau was the head of the Conservative Party, Pierre
Speaker 1: Pollievit Pollievvy, Polly every poll Evry, Pierre poly Evry. I
Speaker 1: don't know why he's Italian Pierre. He was, you know,
Speaker 1: poised to coast to victory and now has completely had
Speaker 1: to revamp his strategy because his you know, in the
Speaker 1: run up to our election, like the thing he was
Speaker 1: that was giving him strength was that he was being
Speaker 1: repeatedly referred to as Canada's Trump. Yeah, and now that's
Speaker 1: not good for him now that Trump has had a
Speaker 1: chance to be really bad at his job in the
Speaker 1: eyes of everyone, except for like the thirty percent of
Speaker 1: Americans who voted for him, you know, they're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: that that might be a very bad thing. It's it
Speaker 1: is interesting though, too.
Speaker 3: Everything Trump does has this weird effect also doing the
Speaker 3: opposite thing if he wants like where he's like, well,
Speaker 3: I abandoned Ukraine and now Europe's like, bro, we need
Speaker 3: to fucking we need to cut these Americans out of
Speaker 3: the conversation because they're gonna fucking destroy everything and like
Speaker 3: fuck fuck all this so and has like a shit,
Speaker 3: they're all getting each other's backs.
Speaker 1: Now this is different, and now with Canada, Trudeau merely
Speaker 1: just being like, this is some bullshit, guys, and it
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, we're back, We're back, and Mike, look,
Speaker 1: a word of warning to the Canadians, man, do not
Speaker 1: let the presence of an aspiring fascist turn into a
Speaker 1: neoliberal honeymoon. Okay, the Democratic Party should have taken the
Speaker 1: biggest like a bigger l over what happened in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: But the presence of Trump made everyone nostalgic for the
Speaker 1: before times. They completely lost sight of like what what
Speaker 1: was ailing society and what actually needed to be addressed.
Speaker 1: So take the opportunity if you can. Now, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be but theoretically you could drive a
Speaker 1: stake into the heart of right wing extremism and meet
Speaker 1: people's needs. Okay, because if.
Speaker 3: You let the rot of inequality continue, the fungus that
Speaker 3: is authoritarianism rule will have the perfect environment to replicate
Speaker 3: and thrive in and you're just gonna end up being
Speaker 3: the same place we are down the road. Like it's
Speaker 3: not gonna be enough to be like, oh thank god
Speaker 3: he's standing up to it. You now have to take
Speaker 3: the opportunity to like just fucking learn from this. It's
Speaker 3: because the Democrats did fuck all to address the needs
Speaker 3: of the people at the expense of the donor class
Speaker 3: that we're in this mess that we're in right now.
Speaker 3: And also just ideologically, it's impossible for them to bite
Speaker 3: the hand that feed, So we were fucked either way.
Speaker 3: But Canada, you already got a leg up on America
Speaker 3: in a few ways in terms of how you're treating
Speaker 3: your people.
Speaker 1: So just I'm just it'll come back, though, if you know,
Speaker 1: if not cares, shit will come right back.
Speaker 3: They are waiting for material conditions to be enough for
Speaker 3: people to be like, yeah, fucking destroy everything that.
Speaker 1: I wonder if we're gonna be able to if the
Speaker 1: US is going to be able to get out of that,
Speaker 1: because it is it does feel like the only thing
Speaker 1: that can make the idea of sort of that corporatocracy.
Speaker 1: But democrat look good is what Trump is doing, you know,
Speaker 1: like he's doing the exact thing to make people be like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess back to the other thing, and
Speaker 1: Biden was fine, like yeah, I guess, No, it wasn't
Speaker 1: and it's not now, And I think that's you know
Speaker 1: if I like you think like the most cynical of
Speaker 1: democratic strategies would be going to these billionaires be like, look, dude,
Speaker 1: we need all y'all to like do token donations to
Speaker 1: bring your cred back up and and make people feel
Speaker 1: like you contribute to society. Just fucking just do these
Speaker 1: token offerings to just fucking bring the temperature down a
Speaker 1: little bit and say you're okay with that, and then
Speaker 1: we can if you're okay with just a little bit
Speaker 1: more taxes, we can just do some stuff that'll keep
Speaker 1: them at bay before they all fucking turn off us.
Speaker 1: That's but they can't even do that. They're just like,
Speaker 1: but Trump's bad. So you're like, well that, okay. There
Speaker 1: goes any opportunity to do anything, even the most cynical sense,
Speaker 1: to try and keep the fucking powers that be in power,
Speaker 1: because I mean, the road inevitably just ends this way, right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, all these countries have the entire economically populist
Speaker 1: lane to go down where you can create policies that
Speaker 1: actually benefit people instead of corporations. And by the way,
Speaker 1: corporations are people too, So Miles, when you said Joe
Speaker 1: Biden didn't do things for people, you were meeting out
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the population. Thank you. I will
Speaker 1: refer to you your honor, no further answers, your honor.
Speaker 1: But it's just so wild that like they are leaving
Speaker 1: this huge lane that has like proven to be popular
Speaker 1: in the past, with the Sanders campaign coming out of
Speaker 1: nowhere in twenty sixteen, doing remarkably well in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: But again, like to your point, I think people just
Speaker 1: lost their nerve because they were like, well, we got
Speaker 1: to beat him, and Sanders isn't gonna win, Like this
Speaker 1: is not a time to be taking chances. This Trump
Speaker 1: guy's pulling indicates that he could. Yeah, yeah, exactly, like
Speaker 1: everybody's playing game.
Speaker 5: I mean, do you think that they, the Democrats, those
Speaker 5: in power, he didn't want to bite the hand that
Speaker 5: feeds them, actually would rather have Trump than Bernie.
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I mean probably, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: they probably know that Trump is better for there. They
Speaker 1: are so distinct from what, you know, what Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: and like, you know, the the idea of a progressive
Speaker 1: politics that actually like is focused on helping people. That yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think there's anything about Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: that appeals to me in stream Democrats, whereas with Trump
Speaker 1: it gives them something to in theory, you know, fundrate.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, in theory, run against but
Speaker 1: it's not even really running, it's just fundraising.
Speaker 4: Do you know?
Speaker 1: I got so many fucking texts during that address, begging
Speaker 1: texts from the Democrats, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: they're still they're so caught in their ways. They're like, yeah, fine, man,
Speaker 1: we'll just like people be freaked out again and maybe
Speaker 1: we can get more money. Although now I think they're
Speaker 1: realizing people are so fucking disheartened by everything. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: the money ain't flown in like it used to. They're
Speaker 1: willing to try anything except the uh Bernie Sanders thing
Speaker 1: that would actually work, because that is Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it's the thing that we saw with Biden
Speaker 1: coming up against certain things and being like a what
Speaker 1: can I do?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 1: I'm trying over here, and it's like, what's the unspoken thing?
Speaker 1: You're not saying what what are you trying? And not
Speaker 1: able to like, yes, there's Republicans in Congress, but it's
Speaker 1: also what do you want me to do? Up end
Speaker 1: this status quo? Yeah, exactly, Yeah, And I think that's
Speaker 1: it's the basic thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, going forward, the only people who will
Speaker 3: be worth listening to or voting for are people who
Speaker 3: can just very simple premise. The status quo is violent,
Speaker 3: and it's killing people, and it's every it's making everyone unhappy,
Speaker 3: their meet their needs aren't being met, and we're so
Speaker 3: far removed from like the even what people call like
Speaker 3: the good old days when people could have like even
Speaker 3: like my grandmother like was a fucking switchboard operator and shit,
Speaker 3: and my grandfather drove a bus. Like they were able
Speaker 3: to do shit and have a house even being black
Speaker 3: like that, shit was kind of possible even then. We're
Speaker 3: so far from that in the progressive tax policy that
Speaker 3: we had then, we're just so if you're not if
Speaker 3: you're not willing to come to the table and be like,
Speaker 3: hey guys, everything that's been happening for the last few decades, we.
Speaker 1: Have to reverse course on all of this. But that
Speaker 1: is just far too extreme a mess, like perceived as
Speaker 1: far to extreme a message from again the stakeholders of
Speaker 1: our media and things like that, that it's just it's
Speaker 1: but that's really what it is. Someone who's like we
Speaker 1: just need to change a couple of things. No, we don't.
Speaker 1: We need to change fucking so many things. And if
Speaker 1: you're not really saying that with your whole chest, don't
Speaker 1: waste people's time. Tweak the messaging. Tweak the messaging. Yeah,
