I thought it 34 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: was funny. I didn't see the We only watched because 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: and it was like, oh, you gotta watch opening monologue, 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: which was great. I just saw some of the winners 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, they look like they got 38 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: a lot of the fan favorites on the winner's list. 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: And I do think, just with regards to Drop, it's 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: a great showcase. They got him in front of a 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: lot of people, and I bet, I bet we'll do 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: good things for his career. Because he managed to just 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'm gonna stop your award show and 44 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: just do what I'm so good at for you know, 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: ten minutes. In terms of the Award show, winners include 46 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, my favorite Musical or a comedy, The Banshees 47 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: of Ina Sharon, um fucking dark ass movie. That Again. 48 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: I love having a place where you can acknowledge comedy 49 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: in an award show. It always seems somewhat arbitrary, Like Elvis, 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: which was a musical right right, right, I mean I 51 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: would say I would put in that category it was 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: it was nominated in the drama category and not the 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: musical or comedy category, but The Banshees of Ino Shearin, 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: which is, you know, definitely a darkly funny movie. Um. 55 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: I think it's because all of like Martin mcdonne's stuff, 56 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: they kind of process as comedy on some level. Like 57 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: in Bruiges. I think what may have been nominated when 58 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: it came out to as a colony, I can't remember, 59 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: but yeah, Bruises Good. And then Shelle Yao and Jonathan 60 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: ki Kwan yeah from Everything Everywhere all at once were 61 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: like kind of the big wins in the acting categories. 62 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: That everybody was excited about. Just like I said, I 63 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: think that the same things are coming back up. It's like, 64 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: what do we need the awards still, because that was 65 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: the lowest ratings ever. Oh yeah, you had the awards 66 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: going up on a Tuesday. What then did you think 67 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: was gonna happen? I mean, there's no I don't think 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: there's Most people didn't even realize. I saw so many 69 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: tweets that people were like, wait, there's awards tonight on 70 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: a Tuesday. So uh yeah, but they used to not 71 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: be on a Tuesday. Is that right? It's either a 72 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: week there was on a Sunday. They're always on a 73 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: Sunday day first Sunday, Jane or January usually. But they 74 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: were like, I don't know, worry, nobody's gonna watch that. Yeah, 75 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: like maybe maybe less eyes on this one, just just 76 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: do let's let's build the confidence back up to a Sunday. Yeah. Anyways, 77 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: George Santos, let's talk about this man real quick, because 78 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: we talked about how the initial article that came from 79 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: the New York Times that was like, hey, we we 80 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: went back and tried to confirm any of the stuff 81 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: from his bio, and like none of it's true. So 82 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: but I don't think we've talked a lot about like 83 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: what did come what did turn out to be the truth, 84 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: which is that he is essentially a wanted con man. Yeah, 85 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: he lied about everything, even he said his mom died 86 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: on nine eleven once on Twitter and then like if 87 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: you look at his tweets, then he was like, oh man, 88 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: it's always around this time of year. I think about 89 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: my mom and it was during Christmas. It's like lost 90 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: her one year ago today, and it was like December 91 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: twenty three was the day of that tweet. If you're like, 92 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: can't keep his ship? Yeah, Like you're just you're just 93 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: like you're just like that kid who was like on 94 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: the schoolyard in the pre internet era where you could 95 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: just say any old thing, and like, you know, his 96 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: uncle is Sylvester Stallone and his dad drives the Back 97 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: to the Future car but it's in the garage right now. 98 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, he was just you know, confronted in like 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: in the I think the Rayburn Building of the Capital 100 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, hey, you're a fucking con man. 101 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: You're gonna fucking resign, And this was kind of his 102 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: his energy. I will not I will not. So I 103 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: don't know how the Republicans deal with this one. You know, 104 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: they bang the drum of the swamp and liars and 105 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: transparency and all this ship, but like, meanwhile, they're like, 106 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: we need to gut the Ethics Committee and this guy 107 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: is a fantastic liar. Not many people have actually given 108 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: a statement on whether or not they think George Santos 109 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: should stay or go, But yeah, we'll see. My favorite 110 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: lie that he told was that he was a college 111 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: volleyball champion. He was like an outstanding striker for the 112 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: Baruque College volleyball championship team. I don't even know like, 113 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: and I'm a little weird in this way. I don't 114 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: follow collegiate volleyball all that closely. But I don't know 115 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: if they didn't even bother to check if Bruke College 116 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: like won the volleyball championship or if he did. But 117 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: um said spiker or striker, striker? Striker? Oh is it 118 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: called spiker? I don't think there's a striker?

He just went through elementary, middle and high 217 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: school being that Popeye's kid. That would be that would 218 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: be a mess. That would be a fucking mess. I mean, 219 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: and especially if like you know, who knows, if you like, 220 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: if you can hold your own ship down, I because 221 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to bully you and stuff like that. You 222 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: can see that either being like a great thing or 223 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: a terrible thing. But man, the internet as is fucking wild. 224 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: It's basically like what when Michael sarah In arrested development 225 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: was like the had his they like made a reference 226 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: to Star Wars Kid, like he had his own viral 227 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: video that was earlier. Anyways, there are worse fast food 228 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: chains that you could be associated with that will say 229 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: that better than being like Riperfu Legg hid or like 230 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: Jack in the Box kid or you know who I mean, 231 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: I only hate Jack in the Box and just saying 232 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: like they had. I guess it was a while ago, 233 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: but they did have some people pass on to their 234 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: so like that, you know, all right, And then finally 235 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: sneeches on some podcasts, the lesser known podcasts than the dailies, 236 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: like guys called Planet Money. I guess that's how you 237 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: say it. Okay, yeah, I think I thought it was 238 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: plain to money, but yeah, it's uh. They had a 239 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: recent story about economics lessons and kids books, and one 240 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: of the hosts, Erica Barris, spent a day in this 241 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: school in Columbus, Ohio, likes kids learned about math and economics, 242 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: and she brought books that were recommended to her by 243 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: like economists and other people that said, like, oh, these 244 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,599 Speaker 1: are good kids books, but can also open up some 245 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: really interesting ideas about the free market or economic loss. Etcetera. 246 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: They sit down to read the Doctor Seuss book, you know, 247 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: The Sneeches, which you know, is a story about segregation. 248 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: If you look, if you look right at that, you 249 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: can gotta understand what the subtext is there. But again, 250 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: it's Dr Seuss, and it's meant to sort of, you know, 251 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: tell the kids, we're all special. It doesn't matter what 252 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: you look like or what you have or don't have. 253 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: That's like sort of the bottom line. So in this piece, 254 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: the teacher starts reading the book, and the reason we're 255 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: talking about it is because one of the administrators from 256 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: the school district interrupts the reading because they say it's 257 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: getting too political. So I just want to play a 258 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: part in the beginning where you hear the kids being 259 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: read the book and they start to be like, wait, wait, 260 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: hold on this, this sounds like a mean world. Uh. 261 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: And you kind of see this. You can kind of 262 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: see the momentum of children understanding like what it means 263 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: to have empathy and like all of these other sort 264 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: of you know, life skills. And we'll get to the 265 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: part where then it gets shut down. After this, Katie, 266 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: what did you say? You said it felt mean? Um, 267 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: that's kind of mean, because like just because their bellies 268 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: are playing and they don't have stars, and it doesn't 269 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: mean that they're not special, right, doesn't mean they're not special. Noah, 270 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: It's almost like what happened back then how people were 271 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: treated like like disrespected, like white people disrespected black people. 272 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: But then they might stand up In the book, so 273 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: you heard that part where all the kids are like yeah, yeah, 274 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: and the world was and still is unfair. Wow, Wow, 275 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: holy sh it. No way. So this is the part 276 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: then when this administrator interrupts to be like this is 277 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: this is not well? What are we doing? Yeah? I 278 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: don't know if I feel comfortable with this book being 279 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: one of the ones featured. This isn't teaching anything about economics, 280 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: and this is a little bit more about differences with 281 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: race and everything like that. I don't and everything like that. 282 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Pause this book. I mean, we we have a list 283 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: here of all the things this is about parferences, open markets, 284 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: and I just don't think it might be appropriate for 285 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: the third grade class and for them to have a 286 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: discussion around it. Are you okay with that? I'm okay 287 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: with that? Okay, So the ship was shut down. Also, 288 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: it is important to just note that. Uh, the part 289 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: that we cut out in between was so after the 290 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: kids make that observation, Uh, this like kind of grifter 291 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: dude comes into town in the book, So Mr mcmonkey 292 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: McBean Yeah, which on Hosie pointed out his name could 293 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: have used like some workshop and maybe shortening down. But anyways, 294 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: he comes in and he's like, oh, I can use 295 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: this as a money making opportunity, identify a hole in 296 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: this market and like kind of exploit it. So it 297 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: is like at that point when she's interjecting it is 298 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: explicitly about economics, just gotten to the point where it 299 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: is explicitly about capitalism and how it's not always fair 300 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: and how it can be like a real dirty business. 301 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: But like these kids are already thinking about it on 302 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: this like very advanced levels. Jack her circuits were fried 303 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: when she heard all those kids be like it sounds 304 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: like the old days and they're like yeah. That's when 305 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: it went like like smoke was probably coming out of 306 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: She is definitely a viewer of Fox News and right 307 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: wing media and was just hearing the talking points and 308 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: the shouting of you know, of the people who freaked 309 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: out when they didn't think the Christmas tree in the 310 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: public library was big enough for the gift wrapping station, 311 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: wasn't wasn't prominently featured enough. And they also, I think 312 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: the administra saying, like, you know, because we haven't told 313 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: parents ahead of time that this should be thematically something 314 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: that the kids would like using that whole thing, and 315 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: then it's not the business of the school district to 316 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: suppress any viewpoints are dialogues. Okay, well, what you were 317 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: doing is explicitly suppressing something that is naturally coming up 318 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: as a point of conversation about a pre approved list 319 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: of books that you already approved and then apparently didn't 320 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: read closely enough for your your mind just was not 321 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: engaging with it on that the same level. Yeah, but 322 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: this is precisely what people who are so hell bent 323 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: on like what kids are being taught like this is 324 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: this is the fight that they're in because when those 325 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: kids went, yeah, that's bad, that's the world. They don't 326 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: they don't want young people, fucking kids to begin to 327 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: have like a heart or to understand that there can 328 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: be a just world, you know what I mean, Like 329 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: try and dead dead in that sense with them, like 330 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: within them as soon as you can that way, when 331 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: they step into the world. It's there. They know the 332 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: fucking program. Yea. And yeah, all that panic you see 333 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: over people being like, my kids are gonna learn about 334 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: race ism, like it's wild to actually hear it happen 335 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: like that in a moment like that when you're just 336 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 1: reading protress. I just don't think it's appropriate for them 337 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: to talk about it in the third grade. I do 338 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: think it's appropriate for them to experience the consequences of it, 339 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: but I would would rather have that be an abstract 340 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: power structure that they're live within and remain unaware of 341 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: our thing. Yeah, interesting, preparing them for life in America. Well, anyways, 342 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: good job by that podcast, plaint money or money, good job, 343 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: good job, you know, keep up the good word.
