1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: last stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: The Weekly Zeitgeist. A story I wanted to just bring

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: up because we're coming up on flu season and we

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: talked about it last flu season. But uh, I think

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: one of our guests said, like, flu shots are a myth.

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: I you know, I said I don't get them. I

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't Well maybe someone may have said that,

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: but I said, I never got I never got the flu,

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: so why don't you get the flu shot? And then

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: I was shamed and I got the flu shot because

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: I'm They're like, hey, you fucking idiot. Have you heard

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: of herd immunity? Yeah. I had to be sort of

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: in touch with my own privilege of my own health

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: because I think just because I don't have it doesn't

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: mean I can't carry it. In fact, so we and

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: a lot of our listeners are young people in the

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: prime of our health, and so we you know, telling

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: yourself that we might get the flu, but it'll just

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: like knock us down for a couple of days or whatever.

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Young people and the elderly, though, will young young, young, young,

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: very young children and the old can die from the flu.

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest killers of people in that demographic.

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: And also, you can be a carrier of the flu

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: virus without showing any symptoms, and so you might be

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: if you don't get the your flu shots, you will

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: be more likely to be carrying that disease and passing

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: it around. And yeah, you can be killing people and

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: never realize you're doing it because you didn't get the

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: flu shot. You could be killing people. Seriously though, no, no,

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: it's true. I'm telling you I have to. It's it's

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: a tough thing to like let go of like your

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: own ego. Because I had a health ego right im,

36
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: like that ship for weak ass motherfucker's I never got it,

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: so I don't need that ship. And I was thoroughly

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: dragged deservedly by the Zei gang and my healthcare professional

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: friends of mine, who I said that ship too, and

40
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I realized too, I am, like I said, and scientifically illiterate.

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: And if you are not a fucking expert on any

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: of this ship, you shouldn't have hot takes on ship

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: like this because you don't know what. But yes, please

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: do care about other people. Well, I will say that

45
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: this past year or this year was a record cold

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: and flu season. It was really really really rough. We

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: had several deaths and it got real gnarly. I'm a

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: huge hand washer and I want yes, I've been next,

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: I bring a sync with me. I recommend everyone out

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: there to google how to wash your hands because most

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: of us aren't doing it correctly. You're supposed to wash

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: for a good amount of time. Don't forget your thumbs,

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: don't forget under your rings and your fingertips to fingertips

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: in between your fingers, take a moment in really washed

55
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: clean them because that's a lot of the way it's transferred. Also,

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: train yourself to not touch your face. Yes, I didn't

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: get sick this cold and flue. I haven't been sick

58
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: once this whole year. And you haven't touched your face

59
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 1: all years. I haven't touched my face once. You put

60
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: gloves on it, and I do a full has met

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: when I do my I cream at night like what

62
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: they put babies, you know, when you put the little

63
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: bits on babies. Yeah, uh yeah, I swaddle. You know

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: about the hand washing thing. I remember when I was

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: a kid, my Orthodonis when he washed his hands before

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: like an examples, like look at this fucking fool crazy

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: handwhing because he was like doing the finger thing where

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: I thought he was doing like give me some money,

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, rubbing your fingers is that kind of thing?

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: And then I was like, I was like, is that

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: way we're supposed to wash your hands? It's like, well,

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm putting my hands in your mouth, so I'd imagine

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: my finger. He like was very patronizing, but I was like,

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: that's true for that, And then I always like kind

75
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: of do this thing now and really get in my

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: Did he keep the hands up when it came It wasn't.

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: He wasn't scrubbing into the Are you wear raw dog?

78
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Or didn't put gloves on? You were gloves? Yesh? Was

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: he like your neighborhood? It was it was like out

80
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: behind the target? Yeah, yeah, I think And I think

81
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, some people I think think that flu shots

82
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: are one of those things. I think there's some anti

83
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: vaxers who will tell you that flu shots like create

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: super flues and ship like that, and so the way

85
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: that that actually works. Is there are like we do

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 1: take too many antibiotics and bacterial infections do create like superbugs. Uh,

87
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: so you shouldn't be taking antibiotics unless your doctor actually

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: prescribes them to you. That is like something that they're

89
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: working on too, because there is an arms race between

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: antibiotics and you know, germs basically, but flu is a

91
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: vax or the flu is a virus, and that is

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: it's not one of those things where by getting a

93
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: flu shot you are hurting the or you're creating some

94
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: super flu which would also come on and look, unless

95
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: you have motherfucking scientists doing this research, who are you

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: to have then argue with the people that have been

97
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: doing it right? How is the booze industry dealing the

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: booze industry legal marijuana? I mean, look, they know what

99
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: they're doing, you know what I mean? Everybody the writing

100
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: you see the writing on the wall. Beer sales have

101
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: been in this steady decline for the most part. There

102
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: was I think in there was a consulting report that

103
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: was basically saying it was titled a perfect storm brewing

104
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: in the global beer business. Brewing you headline writers, you yep, yep.

105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: So weed is definitely on the in the ascendency, beer

106
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: consumption is slightly just you know, going down bit by bit.

107
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: So that that's got people looking around seeing what's going on.

108
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: So Adolphus Bush the fifth, okay, the great great grandson

109
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: of Anheuser hang out. I got such a visual going

110
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: to college with that dude. The collar is pop It

111
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: was surgically put on the skin of popped collar like

112
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: a vampire like hot. I'm sure he's a nice guy.

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: And if you know, the office Bush v five for

114
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: this sub and let me know if he's a good

115
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: guy anyway. So they've been began putting their money behind

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: legal weed, uh with like a new vape company, like

117
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: a vape pen type thing that air to the gym

118
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: beam fortune. I think he made his company public in

119
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: Canada and a lot of people are just starting to

120
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: look you know, sort of north to the north since

121
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: weed has been legalized in Canada. So like most and cores,

122
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: they also said they're like forming a partnership with a

123
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: weed company to make like sort of non alco weed

124
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: drinks for Canadians. Uh So it looks like you know,

125
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: they kind of see, you know, this is the wave

126
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: that where it's all going, uh, and so they're gonna

127
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: be investing in it more and more, which makes sense

128
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: because I think they found that even in Oregon when

129
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: recreational weed was legal, I like, a lot of their

130
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: craft beer sales went down. Now, it's not that it

131
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: was necessarily that was the cause of that, but they

132
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: know that was just something they noticed sort of happening

133
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: at the same time. But you know, we'll see what happens.

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: But it's kind of funny because the US Border Patrol

135
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: also or the CBPS, just made this weird announcement in

136
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: political or how they're gonna hassle Canadians who smoke weed

137
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: trying to cross the border because it's illegal here. Yeah. Uh,

138
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: this is it's such a stupid fucking law where it's like, hey,

139
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: have you smoked weed ever? And if you have, you

140
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: have to tell us because if you lie, that's fraud

141
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: and then you can be barred from entering the US

142
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: for life. And it puts people in a very weird position. Uh.

143
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: So in political they're saying, uh, this is a statement

144
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: from someone from CBP. They're like, oh, our officers are

145
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: not going to be asking everyone whether they have used marijuana.

146
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: But if other questions lead there, if there's a smell

147
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: coming from the car, they might ask uh, because they're saying,

148
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: like marijuana, what residue can linger? They said, if asked

149
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: about past drug used, travelers should not lie. He said,

150
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: if you lie about it, that's fraud and misrepresentation, which

151
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: cars a lifetime band Uh. Which is odd because there

152
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: are a lot of people too, Like they're saying if

153
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: you are even in the legal weed business in Canada,

154
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, what do you do for work?

155
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, I work in like the legal

156
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: weed business. They're like, oh, we don't want people who are, like,

157
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, profiting off the proliferation of drugs and like

158
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: smuggling narcotics or whatever. The funk. It's a fucking weird

159
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: because it's a federal institution. Yeah, but it's just such

160
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: an odd thing to be like taking this stance and

161
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: like letting people know. It's like, but half the fucking

162
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,359
Speaker 1: borders so many border states with Canada have legalized recreational

163
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: weed even though it's a state thing. But it's still

164
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: just this like really dumb butting up of federal and

165
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: state law and just yeah, anyway, I just wanted to

166
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: bring that up because it's funny that you also have

167
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: these American companies who are like looking to Canada invest

168
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: in that business, but then Canadians we were trying to

169
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: enter this way, they're gonna hassle him for It's just

170
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why people want to stop drinking

171
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: a drug that gets you no more fucked up than

172
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: weed and that kills you, Like, why what's their problem? Yeah?

Speaker 1: I had to be wheeled out at Tortilla Joe's Downtown.

193
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: I'm not lying. I'm not lying. Did you think you're dying?

194
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: It was really really bad. You know, be careful with

195
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: your careful. The Brett Kavanaugh vote confirmation got got a

196
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: little more. It was smooth sailing just a few days ago.

197
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: Uh so over the weekend, well, I guess multiple weeks ago.

198
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: I guess it was back in July, Senator Feinstein got

199
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: an anonymous letter from somebody who recounted being sexually assaulted

200
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: by Brett Kavanaugh in high school. And then that person

201
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: finally came forward and said who she was. We're going

202
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: to see this. She's gonna test. Yeah, she's going to

203
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: her nails. Christine Blaze Ford yeah, is that blaze? Yeah,

204
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: I think yeah, forgive us if it's going to be

205
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: high political drama. Yes, yeah, right, I mean literally, this

206
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: nominee is in the balance. It is now. The only

207
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: disqualifier could be if she seems credible enough, right, and

208
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: she took an fb A lie detector tests, which we

209
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: know light detector tests are can be a little bit

210
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: if you say, what do you mean that, huh? When

211
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: you said we know just in general that the idea

212
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: of test, I think I think some people do. All right,

213
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: you said, wait, okay, do you do you feel that

214
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: polygraph tests don't Yeah, okay, I don't like yeah, yeah,

215
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: no you're not. I'm not speaking for you, but I

216
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: think it's people have publicly disputed a lie detector tests.

217
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: Not to say that it's that that means that she's lying,

218
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: but she's clearly here to show that she's being as

219
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: honest as possible. She has nothing to gain from this.

220
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: She's clearly this is only going to be something that

221
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: is going to be traumatic for her because as you've seen,

222
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: like people already doxing her, uh and trying to tear

223
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: her down. I think that there's been some senators have said, well,

224
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: why did it take so long? Which is the most

225
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: the dumbest fucking way to question somebody who's coming out

226
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: with this kind of thing. But yeah, now it's gotten

227
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: to the point where people like Lindsey Graham or Jeff Flake,

228
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: they're starting to be like, well, we this person, we

229
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: should probably hear from this person at this point, how

230
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: do you not want to hear from that? I mean,

231
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: up until this point, I thought they were gonna yeah,

232
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: because Chuck Grassley seemed in no way interested. There was

233
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: that weird letter that came out from sixty five women

234
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: that had gone to high school with but when they

235
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: dug deeper, they weren't all from the same high school.

236
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: So it was just like he went to all boys

237
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: high school, right, so just people so that a lot

238
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: of guys have transitioned since then that or yea, these

239
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: were people, they paid for them very good endorsing that.

240
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: And now it's to the point where, yeah, there are

241
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: many calls from you know, just a couple of GOP senators,

242
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: but most of the day, I mean, somebody had not

243
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about senators. But there's gotta be um

244
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: kid who remembers that party or right there long ago

245
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: six years ago. It was right, thirty six years ago.

246
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: But I mean, it is clearly a traumatic event in

247
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: her past that she has, you know, that her life

248
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: has had to be oriented or and you know, it's

249
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: a like in the way that all traumas sort of

250
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: change how we live our lives. And like, that's the

251
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: question I have, is she goes up, she says, this

252
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: is something that happened to me. I've been dealing with

253
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: it for decades. I was in therapy when I first

254
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: talked about it, like to my husband, uh six years

255
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: ago and specifically called him out. And then he's going

256
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: to come out and say, uh, no, that didn't happen,

257
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: but like my drunken recollection of it is better than

258
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: her like actual recollection of it. And well, first he

259
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: said this absolutely false, and then he's like, but then

260
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: I then the person came forward, which seems to me

261
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: that he does remember of this person in some manner.

262
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: He said. So his latest quote, though, is I'm willing

263
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way

264
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: the committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation from

265
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: thirty six years ago and defend my integrity, which I

266
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that he chose to throw in the

267
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: from thirty six years ago, just because it seems like

268
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: that is going to be. One of the texts they

269
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: take is to say, well, why now, why are you

270
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: doing this now? Well, I know, yeah, I think a

271
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: lot of people, at least from the White House, would

272
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: rather not have her testify in front of the Senate

273
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, because they're like, optically, they're people are going

274
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: to be sympathetic, you know, shit, but like, don't this

275
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: person And Kelley and Conway surprisingly was like, I think

276
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: the woman should be heard, which I don't can't imagine

277
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: any other avenue. Yeah, but I've seen the Republicans have

278
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: been so brazen through this process those at the time

279
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't have been surprised if Chuck Grassley, considering

280
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: that there were so many documents that they chose to suppress,

281
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: then be like, no, no, no, it's been too late.

282
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: The should have brought it up sooner. It doesn't matter

283
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: what this person went through. And this, even though theres

284
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: a lifetime appointment for someone who's trying to who could

285
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: possibly shift the legal landscape of this country, let's just

286
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: get it done. Yeah, they're being quiet now because they're

287
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: waiting to see if they can get away with just

288
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: pushing him through, and yeah they could. No one could

289
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: outright right now just say no to I mean, Chuck

290
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: Grassie kind of did say, well, this is really late

291
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: in the game, but well, you know, I think it's

292
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: something that definitely has to be heard, and it's a

293
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, people were showing like just sort of when

294
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: you look at what the majority looks like for the

295
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary community, it's all men. There's not even a

296
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: woman on there. And of course their sentiments are gonna

297
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: like they're focused on getting for the for the majority

298
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: on the for the Republicans. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

299
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: Um so he was meeting at the White House earlier today.

300
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: We're repeating some Monday. But yeah, it's interesting because there's

301
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: no good it has nothing to do with what he's

302
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: He's going to deny it, right, It's all about it's

303
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: a third thing. Yeah, that's that's yeah, that's why it

304
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: sucks so hard for her. This is like, I mean,

305
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: to have to relive your trauma on the most national stage.

306
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: Like Anita Hill was like turned into like a punchline slash.

307
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, she's like a household name because she had

308
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: a similar situation and this is like a private trauma

309
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: that this person has chosen to, you know, come forward with,

310
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: and not really even chosen because she wanted to remain anonymous.

311
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: But then she started like as she was leaving class,

312
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: a BuzzFeed reporter approached her, and you know, it was

313
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: just it seemed like only a matter of time before

314
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: her name came out so unmasked. Yeah. Yeah. And then

315
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: there was the the other man that she implicated in

316
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: her allegation was like there was a classmate who like

317
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: that's a famous conservative figure. Yeah right, And well he's

318
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: already like they were going through just his sort of

319
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: general stance on things, and he's tried to discredit past

320
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: people who have accused men of sexual assault, so he's

321
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of firmly rooted in like the well they don't

322
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: know blah blah blah. And he has like a book

323
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: that's like called like Wasted, like Tales of a Gen

324
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: X Drunk or something like that, where there's like a

325
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: pseudonym like there's a guy called bart o'cavanaugh. He's openly

326
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: like a recovered alcoholic or a recovering alcoholic who was like, yeah,

327
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: during my high school years, Like I was constantly blacked out,

328
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: you know, But yeah, he has these stories of a

329
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: guy whose name is what bart o'cavanaugh. There's a mention

330
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: of bart o'cavanaugh there in this book. Uh. It says,

331
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: Shags scored a hit then handed me the glass I drank.

332
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: If you were standing anywhere, you're a quarters game, you

333
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: could get picked even if you don't want to play

334
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: or weren't paying attention. So how do you like prep

335
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: Mary asked, it's cool. Do you know bart o'cavana. Yeah,

336
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: he's around here somewhere. I heard he puked in someone's

337
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: car the other night. Yeah, he passed out on his

338
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: way back from a party. So I mean, I don't

339
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: know what that means. But I think I don't know

340
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: if Brett Kavanaugh can say, oh, I don't know anything.

341
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: I've never done anything like that. I've never done anything illegal.

342
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: I think is one of the things. Or I think

343
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: Judge the friend who turned up the music, Yeah, I

344
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: think it's sorry. Is Aaron Judge the baseball player? Yes,

345
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: like yeah, so Mark Judge was saying something about like

346
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: I didn't know him to engage in these sorts of

347
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: illegal behaviors. But at that time, like in the high

348
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: school yearbook, Kavanaugh was voted treasurer of the Keg City

349
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: Club or I don't know, this is what his yearbook said.

350
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: So maybe this was just like a funny, like an

351
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: inside joke, but treasure of the Keg City Club on

352
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Kegs or bust like something to do with Beach Week committee,

353
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: which Beach Week is just where all these prep school

354
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: like privileged kids go to the beach from DC area

355
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: and just get wasted for a week. H And also

356
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: like something with the police in Rehoboth, which is where

357
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: the Beach Week happens. So you know, I mean whatever,

358
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: I just think at the very least, the Republicans have

359
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: to allow this person to be heard and properly, just

360
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: at some level, have this process have some kind of

361
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: shred of respectability to it because the steamrolling thing we saw,

362
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: it was like all this other stuff had to get unearthed.

363
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Corey Booker was like threatening to release documents that were classified.

364
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Get to my sart. You don't say that, you just

365
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: have are you wearing a shirt? Uh? Yeah? And I

366
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: just think, you know, at this point, it's I mean,

367
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: not nice, but you it's good to see that there

368
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: are some people on the right that are showing some

369
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: shred of decency to be like not just do the

370
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: thing that I thought they were going to do, which

371
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: would be like ignored, ignore it can't. But you know,

372
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure if the White House, if they were going

373
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: to play it the way they wanted to, they would

374
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: probably just try and obscure this move on or what

375
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: they'll do is just try and smear her, uh, which

376
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: is usually move on from me, to move on from me.

377
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: And you know, Kelly and Conway, I think you were

378
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: just referring to was she's the hero. She's like the

379
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: voice of the heress case, which is crazy, but she

380
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: was saying like, don't attack her, don't don't insult her.

381
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: Let's let her anyone, you know. Yeah, And I mean

382
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: even Trump seems to be somewhat reasonable on this because

383
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: he said, and I'm sure somebody had to sit him

384
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: down and you know, direct him with shiny objects and treats. Uh,

385
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: you know that this was what he had to say.

386
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: But he basically said that, you know, if it needs

387
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: to be delayed, it needs to be delayed. So he's

388
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: acknowledging it's a serious thing. And Actually, it looks like

389
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: they are now saying that they will both testify on

390
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: on Monday, so a week from yesterday. So yeah, it

391
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: will officially be delayed. Um, so that's good at least

392
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: that they're not trying to just like Jim Well, I mean,

393
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: they couldn't, Like we were saying, it's literally the least

394
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: you can do when something like this comes up, especially

395
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: when you know with Al Franken they're very quick to

396
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: just believe the accusers and move forward with it. At

397
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: the very least they need to extend that same sort

398
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: of practice to this process. Yeah, all right, we're gonna

399
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.

400
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: Two days ago, Burt and Ernie we're trending on Twitter,

401
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: which caused many of us to worry about which world

402
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: leader's penis had been compared to which muppet, But it

403
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: was actually in response to a bunch of reports that

404
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: a former Sesame Street writer had confirmed what we all

405
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: suspected that Bert and Ernie were gay, and the person

406
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: basically he is gay and wrote for Burton Ernie and

407
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: said that this was just kind of always what he

408
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: had in mind, that they were a gay couple and

409
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: then Sesame Street came out and said they were created

410
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with

411
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: those who are very different from themselves and basically said

412
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: they're not gay, they're more a sexual, which, huh, muppets

413
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: vibes that that works, But I've seen the Muppets right

414
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: up a sexual. Muppets are not a sexual. Guys, Come on,

415
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: miss Piggy. Miss Piggy's sole motivation is to fuck hermit

416
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: in public, over and over again. But they're telling me

417
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: that's a sexual. Um. The idea of the like pushing

418
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: back on this so many Frank Oz really came out. Yeah,

419
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: they're not gay. And I mean you could view it

420
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: as like everybody had their own interpretation. The different people

421
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: who were performing and writing the characters had their own interpretation.

422
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: I think that's probably okay. Like, and I think it's

423
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: fine to ask different people, you know, what their interpretation is.

424
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's important to keep in mind

425
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: that some people do interpret like some viewers have interpreted

426
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: them as being gay, and that's being both good and bad.

427
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Like in Mississippi they banned Sesame Street for being too

428
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: progressive when it first came out. Yeah, when it first

429
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: came out, and they're like, what are blues doing hanging

430
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: out with Green's exactly, And there was a preacher who

431
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't want children to be allowed to

432
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: watch Sesame Street and asked the government for it to

433
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: be banned because Berton Ernie were two male characters who

434
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: lived together, and he was assuming they were gay. But

435
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: oh and it wasn't it that like that they sewed

436
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: together and together together. Therefore yea, which before they must

437
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: be getting. It's funny though, too, because for such a

438
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: show that was very progressive and was like all about

439
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: like inclusion and you have like kids with disabilities, you'd

440
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: be surprised that they wouldn't have a couple that was

441
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: gay to just show like, yo, love comes in all

442
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: these forms and you don't have to be cryptic about it,

443
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: because that's what Sesame Street is. That's the vibe, and

444
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: I think that's a yeah, that's why I'm like, also, like,

445
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: why why are you getting caught up in like whether

446
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: or not? Like why don't you then just come out

447
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: and just create some characters for young kids to see

448
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: that represent people in same sex relationships, that hey, every

449
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: we all out here, I mean I feel like Alan

450
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: Iverson remember his famous quote, like we talk about practice,

451
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: we talked again, we're talking about puppets. We're talking about

452
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: puppets here. Like I mean, I think people like the

453
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: idea that people are like getting so outraged or you know,

454
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: these conversations about puppets, and and I understand, like, oh,

455
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: it's these the mythology or the archetypes and all these

456
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: other things that kids are seeing in their learning lessons

457
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Yeah, but they're puppets at the

458
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: same time, you know what I mean. When I was

459
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: in college and creative writing classes, you'd write a story

460
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: and you have to read it in front of your classmates,

461
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: and then everybody would dissect it. And then all these

462
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: people would add in all this meaning that they read

463
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: from your story, like oh I really love the symbolism

464
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: you did here, and just be like oh yeah, oh yeah,

465
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: well thank you. I had no intention of symbolism, right.

466
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: But like, once you release art into the world, like

467
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: that Wilco song, it's like it's no longer yours right now,

468
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: it's it belongs to the world. And I think I

469
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: do think that sometimes that stuff is present and it's

470
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: just a part of your mind that you didn't have

471
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: access to that was working on that stuff. Sometimes, well

472
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: that's interesting, yeah, But I agree that, like there's a

473
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that's not intended. I just wonder if,

474
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: like some of the other people might not have been

475
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: intending it, and some people might have been intending it,

476
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter because it's creating its own meaning

477
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: in the world, right. And I think it's one of

478
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: those things because there have been multiple people who have

479
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: have either voiced them or been the puppeteers or wrote

480
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: for them, that a lot of people have had their

481
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: hands on it. And sometimes people did have those intentions,

482
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: other times people didn't. But you just have to accept

483
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: that if everyone's bringing their own thing to it, like,

484
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to shoot down someone's interpretation of it

485
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: to be like they're not gay, right, And if you

486
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: don't want them to be gay, then what ever, I'm

487
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: not gay to you, Yeah, And if you want them

488
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: to be great. But I think at the very least,

489
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: I think in terms of a representation standpoint, you should

490
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: just be like if if I think as a show,

491
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: I think you can you can have characters like that

492
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: or just have that represented with whether to them or

493
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: other people. I don't know. The truth is a lot

494
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: of the time they behave like a gay couple who

495
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: lives together, And a lot of the times they behave

496
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: like six year olds like some like our our writer

497
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: Jam was pointing out, they like love rubber duckies, and

498
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: they take naps during the day like they babies. Yeah,

499
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: they're sometimes they act like babies. In one storyline, Ernie

500
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: gets lost at them all and starts crying like that

501
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: ship happens Maria. Yeah, yeah, that up. Yeah, So I mean, like, yeah,

502
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: we're not actually we're missing the actual point here. How

503
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: the funk old are these people exactly? Because if six

504
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: years old, what the where the parents at? And if

505
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: you're fucking if you're adults, as Jam wrote, what the

506
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: fund is their job? It's like creamer Almost parents, I

507
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: guess almost parents do come around sometimes, right, Parents do

508
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: exist in the Sesame Street universe. I'm sure, I don't know,

509
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't, but almost, like literally a baby like m

510
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah that was pretty good. Actually, uh wow, Elmo is

511
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 1: here in Elmo. Elmo thinks everyone's getting too focused on

512
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: the orient anyway, But yeah, are they adults? Is really

513
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: what I need to know? How old are these muppets?

514
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: I would love to see a breakdown of all of

515
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: them up it's ages. I would love it if Oscar

516
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: the Ground is like fourteen, just a low tea, fourteen

517
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: year old angry tea. It's like, what are you scared of? Man? Like,

518
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to like this whole world that we're

519
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: living in, it it's either fear or love, Like where

520
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: are you operating? Like do you want to build a

521
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: wall scared? Or do you want to let refugees in

522
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: because you love it? Yeah? You know, it's like what

523
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: are you scar? What are these puppets are gay? What

524
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: are the gayest things that exist in the world? What's

525
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: so scary about that to you? Yeah? Well, I think

526
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: that's the funny thing is when, especially when the like

527
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: in California, the whole Prop eight debate was going on

528
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: about same sex marriage, the sort of conclusions that they

529
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: were drawing was usually the one I heard the most

530
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: from people in the street who are like who are like, yeah, man,

531
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: we we have to stop game marriage. I'm like, well why,

532
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, what's next? Right? And that was

533
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: always a thing, Well what's next? Like you can marry

534
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: like a fucking horse, And I'm like, Okay, you don't

535
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: have to marry a horse. Kid doesn't like what What's

536
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't understand? Like that? Yeah right, But I'm saying

537
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: like I was always Yeah, Like you say, like, what

538
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: is the existential threat to you of other people living

539
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: their happiest life? Is that they're going to force you

540
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: to live like them? Because but I guess because essentially

541
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: that's what those people are trying to do. To people

542
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: who do want to have the same sex relationship. They're like, no,

543
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: you can't have you have to do. What we do

544
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: is you fuck the opposite, you know what I mean?

545
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: And that's because I'm trying to exert this control on you.

546
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: The logical endgame here is that if this happens, you're

547
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: gonna try and do that to me. Maybe frank Oz

548
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: is so scared and came out so hard against this,

549
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: not only because maybe he's homophobic, but maybe he also

550
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: doesn't want to admit that he's a puppet. He doesn't

551
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: want to admit they say, like it was like an

552
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: analog for his relationship with Jim Henson. Yeah, they said

553
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: it was Arnie. It was usually based on their friendship

554
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: and you know, one of them. I think Frank Oz

555
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: was Burt whoever the more conservative? Who was the more Bert? Yeah?

556
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: And Ernie was kind of the more fun. Yeah those

557
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: devious eyebrows, Yeah yeah, Bert, this was Ernie. Ernie is

558
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: the one with the skinny orange like the skin of

559
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: your headed one. Oh that's Ernie. No, that's all right,

560
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: that's Bert. Yeah. Man, I don't even know. I don't

561
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: know either. I just know that they had like he

562
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: had caterpillar eyebrows, right, they kind of could move like

563
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: on their own. Hold on before we just fuck this

564
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: whole thing up. Burt is the one with the with

565
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: the his head is shaved back corn that's right, okay.

566
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: And Ernie is the orange man or boy, the homie.

567
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: Burt has kind of got that, like he's always aggravated

568
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: a little bit about something. But they have a great relationship,

569
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: Like what no matter what type of relationship you want

570
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: to imagine it as, they have an awesome relationship, and

571
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: it does teach you important things about having friendships with people.

572
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: It's like a fairly accurate friendship for like being puppets

573
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: for six year olds. It really is like there's a

574
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of ways that their personalities clash that they make

575
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: work that I think is good for young kids to see. Ship.

576
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's not talk white supremacy in the law right now.

577
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk white supremacy and quarterbacks. God. So there's news

578
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: out of Texas, the start of every good national news story. Uh,

579
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: there's news that a school superintendent wrote on Facebook after

580
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: a bad play by Deshaun Watson at the end of

581
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans game. He was like, see, that's why

582
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: I can't have a black quarterback. What And then he

583
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: came out and said that he apologized, like didn't realize

584
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: that it was a public post and was just and

585
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: then and then said and was just I was just

586
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: making a point about statistics. I wasn't trying to say

587
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: anything racist. And the news report was just like, oh okay.

588
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: So he apologized. That's not an apologize and that is underlining.

589
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Like the their headline was superintendent apologized for racist for

590
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: mark about Deshaun Watson. That is an affirmation of race science.

591
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: He said that there were statistics backing it up, the

592
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: only rigorous statistical analysis I've seen about black quarterbacks, and like,

593
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: this is one of my pet peeves, like this story,

594
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: and so I always follow it. The only statistical analysis

595
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: that there's been is that black quarterbacks are statistically more

596
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: likely to be benched, quicker and for lesser mistakes than

597
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: white quarterbacks. I can't, oh man, I mean it has

598
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: to be true. How many black quarterbacks you think there

599
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: have been in the NFL, But there's just been enough

600
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: that Warren Moon had to have a support group for

601
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: black quarterbacks, like so and how many black quarterbacks have

602
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: been to the Super Bowl, Because I am very willing

603
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: to bet that. The only statistic I can I can

604
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: like conjure up with black quarterbacks is if you were

605
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: a black quarterback, you are much more likely to take

606
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: your team to the series. I also knew one kid

607
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: played for a high school team should have been the quarterback,

608
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: but to get to play, he was a black player

609
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: and the kid that got to play instead was white.

610
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to say his name because his

611
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: dad's super famous in football. I know his fucking name. Yeah,

612
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: I know where you grew up. The quarterbacks the quarterbacks

613
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: dead the football field for the high school and they're like,

614
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the quarterback. His own team would boo

615
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback on that being like because you're so bad.

616
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: Put the other kid in, who's like a born athlete,

617
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: Like it's amazing, could have got a scholarship. He never

618
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: got to play. Yeah, we were talking athletes. Man in politics, man,

619
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: he show you how politics be good can hold you down,

620
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: like we're talking earlier this week. So I think somebody

621
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: made their myth that sports is a meritocracy. Right. That

622
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: was Billy Wayne. That was Billy Wayne. Yeah, he said

623
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: sports is not an absolute meritocracy. That's a perfect example,

624
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: right that some dad was like, but the kids, dad's

625
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: so famous. It's like you could have just walked onto

626
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: any team and that kids still could have got his scholarship,

627
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: and like everyone could have been happy. But even the

628
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: kid he didn't want to play football. He like quit

629
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: the first team he got on after he was done. Right, yeah,

630
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: well what this whole like, like the thing was like

631
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: I said that, but not in a racist way. Yeah,

632
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: it's like really and it's also as superintendent, I'm also

633
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: going to introduce physiognomy to the first excuse the hers,

634
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: Like I didn't know his public so it's like, okay,

635
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: so you're privately racist, Like yeah, I thought that makes

636
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: a difference. I thought I was just sending this to

637
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: my other klansmen, right exactly. Anyways, that guy, he should

638
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: be fired, and I don't think he is going to

639
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: be justice. They're releasing their decision, I think later this week,

640
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: and the decision will be well, he didn't mean it

641
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: in a racist way exactly. Plus, look at these two

642

706
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: like you should have done this stuff on the Earth

707
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: first before we take you to the moon, Like have

708
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: you been to the top of a first? No? Then

710
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: few I'm on the moon. Yeah exactly, yes, exactly. I

711

714
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: hilarious process. Where wherein they have to train all these

715
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: like artists, it's fragile, artistic to be written space just

716
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: like I feel like you're dipping them into the bottom

717
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: pools and the gluten. Right. I don't like certain paste food.

718
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: Is that give me a promin space? I feel like

719
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: again this could be a Christopher Guest movie too. It's

720
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: the tracking the eight eccentric artists in the Japanese billionaires.

721
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: They go to space. Remember how we as a planet

722
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: watched those shoot those eight people up into space and

723
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: we watched them die. Remember that the Challenger and know

724
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: that well that did we did do that as a

725
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: like a nation. And I was remember that day because

726
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: everyone was excited because the school teacher was going at

727
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: all the schools involved, and then we learned about death.

728
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: And second Greg, I can I still remember what that

729
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: plume looked like when it went up. I remember they

730
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: made there's like this and it was like two miles.

731
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: There's this little factory, tiny factory. They made little parts

732
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: and they made one of the parts that goes on

733
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: the Space Shuttle and that was like a big deal

734
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: before some no it wasn't that, but that was the

735
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: thing afterwards, like did that park shit like in your

736
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: town there? It was like this one and that was

737
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: like a big deal. Before the Challenger went up, was

738
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: like yeah, one of the parts came from over the

739
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: deep draw road. I read a book that did sort

740
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: of a deep dive into the decision making process of that.

741
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: It was this book The Wisdom of Crowds that shows

742
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: like how crowds, like you can use crowds to like

743
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: guess things really really well and like how market forces were.

744
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: But then it used that as an example of how

745
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: not to use crowds. And it was just basically like

746
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: a couple of dudes who are in charge of the

747
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: whole committee, we're just like forcing it through. And like

748
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: when that thing exploded, everybody on that committee knew what

749
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: went wrong. They were like, yeah, there's a problem, Like

750
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: we need to delay delay it, and like there were

751
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: just people who are just like, na, we push, push,

752
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: push push, we gotta hit this deadline. And also there

753
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: hadn't been a major disaster. They were just like no,

754
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: we're good, We're NASA. We were crushing and the guys

755
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: that i' hey, it seemed like a disaster to us, right,

756
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: we didn't get to go all right, we're gonna take

757
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: another quick break, we'll be right back, and we're back.

758
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: And on Friday, gentleman named Randy Cretico with dog in

759
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: toe the Washington Post specified testified about his relationship with

760
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: Roger Stone before Grand jury. This guy is very interesting.

761
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: He's a comedian. He's also an associate of Roger Stone,

762
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: also an associate of Julian Assange. Just this very weird

763
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: mixture of Like he's also a radio host, so he's

764
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: sort of this mixture of political activist, commentator to Facebook

765
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: friend of mine, Facebook friend Wayne's most importantly, I didn't

766
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: want to leave that to last. Uh what some of

767
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: the details of Well, first of all, for people don't know,

768
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: like what they are interested in is they see him

769
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: as possibly being the connective tissue between Wiki leaks and

770
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: Roger Stone, right, yeah, And then he was in there

771
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: denying that, right, he want right, he won't say, oh wait,

772
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: what happened? So he came out and like the press

773
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: started asking him. So he comes out out of the testimony,

774
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: testifying in front of Muller, and the press asked how

775
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: much of the questioning dealt with Assange? And he answered

776
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: very little and was about to elaborate, and then his

777
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: lawyer just said don't and that was So that was

778
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: the end of that. Right, Just what one detail that

779
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: I love so much about he and Roger Stone's relationship.

780
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: So one of the messages they have on file is

781
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: roger Stone sending him at the way Rogerstown, very down

782
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: to earth, very normal guy with the Nixon back tattoo.

783
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: He texted Randy Credico, I am so ready, let's get

784
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: it on, prepared to die cocksucker. Now, the circumstances of

785
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: of that text are amazing, because Credico says it was

786
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: when he found out that he was going to testifying,

787
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, testifying front of the the grand jury. Uh. And

788
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: roger Stone's version was that he had just learned that

789
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: Credico had cancer and was depressed about it, and he

790
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: was telling him to get ready to die cocksucker, because

791
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: that's just how he like treats his friends. The field

792
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: reason is roger Stone here is that Credico has something

793
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: that contradicts everything that roger Stone has been saying publicly.

794
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: He gets a text, I'm so ready, let's get it on,

795
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: prepared to die at cock sucker. What happened, Roger Oh,

796
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: he said he had terminal cancer. That's why that seems

797
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: far fetched a little bit. I don't know, but that

798
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: could be roger Stone's trademark humor. That's so nihilistic and morbid. Uh.

799
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: And Credico was like, I don't have cancer. That's not true.

800
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: None of this is true. So your Facebook friends with

801
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: Credit Coo. I've known him since the eighties. He's a character.

802
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: He before he was political, he was just a comedian

803
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: and very good impressionist, like really good. Yeah, yeah, that's

804
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: what I thought. I never heard him do his bit,

805
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: but I remember reading things where he was warning the lawyers.

806
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, I do voices, and I might do

807
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: it during my testimony. It's just my thing. And I

808
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: was like, this is gonna be amazing. Yeah, No, he's

809
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: he was really, he was really was on the A list.

810
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: If I'm not a saying that. I think he did

811
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: the Tonight Show in the eighties with Johnny Carts with

812
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: the big guests for the young comedians at that time.

813
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: And but even I think at that point he was

814
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: starting to he was going after Reagan and all of that,

815
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, he's one of my favorite impressions. His was.

816
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: He used to do an incredible David Brenner. I don't

817
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: know if you know who that is. You don't know,

818
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so, yes, yes, not no relationship. So

819
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: used to do that and he would do like you know,

820
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: Archie Bunker and need a bunker, that kind of thing.

821
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: So uh and then the next thing, you know, he's like, oh, Wayne,

822
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to El Salvador or you know, Nicaragua and

823
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: right material for like the head of not the conscience

824
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: the other guy, and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

825
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: what do you mean right material? Like do come to

826
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: help that guy politically? Ortega? I think that guy's name.

827
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: I think a guy's name is Daniel Ortega. Pretty I

828
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: know that's in my head. I'm not looking it up.

829
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: And so he went down there and would do rallies

830
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: for him and like help him with his campaign dictators. Yeah, yeah,

831
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: well he's he became very left. He's like a lefty

832
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: left left. And then uh, but he does some good stuff,

833
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: like you know, like these draconian drug laws that gets

834
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, people are you know, non violent drug offenders

835
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. He's very he's very passionate, he's

836
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: very funny, and he's just a weird though. He's just

837
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: a weird. He's a comedian. It's just the weirdest political

838
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: activist I've ever When you saw his name kind of

839
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: start bubbling up in the news where you kind of like,

840
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: of course, of course, yeah, it's literally every comedian just

841
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: knows him as Credico. No one calls him Randy c

842
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: of course Credico. Of course he's going to be the

843
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: Mueller investigation, right somehow, you know, the same guy he's

844
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: trying to get on evening at the improv is Like

845
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: it's insane. It's insane that I can you imagine he

846
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: starts doing like material about testifying the materials. But I

847
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: will say he is consistent. He's not one of those

848
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: like just if it's a democrat or it doesn't matter

849
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: to him. He's like, you know, it seems like it

850
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: seems like he's very like principal and what his beliefs.

851
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, he had a drug problem himself, and it's Credo.

852
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: He's Credical. I just love that he testified from the

853
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: grand jury and had to bring a dog, right Like

854
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: he's like classic credit. Did you travel with a dog

855
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot? No? This is this is uh, this is

856
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: a new thing. I think I know. I I heard

857
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: that he like rescued that dog from Chili. Like he's

858
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: just a traveler. He's just I don't know how he

859
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: has a passport at this point. But one of the

860
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: articles I really admired that he's funny. He's actually a

861
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: funny actually has that obsessive compulsive disorders, is my take on.

862
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: He's just like once he's fixated on he can't let

863
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: it right. Yeah, but I love the guy. I love

864
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: the guy. One of the sources that we are using

865
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: for research on Credico uses this photograph that is just

866
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: this like real buttoned up public hearing and then a

867
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: really like a screen accurate Greek philosopher like just he's

868
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: got this like long white beard. He looks like Gandalf

869
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: the White just with a with a lantern walking through

870
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: the thing. And it says Mr Cretico addressed as the

871
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: Greek philosopher diagenous cynic. He's the one who founded cynic philosophy.

872
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I would say that the thing that

873
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: seems to connect him Stone and Julian Ossange's cynicism and

874
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: in some kids is very justified cynicism. All right. And finally, Ryan,

875
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: we want to play a game with you. It is

876
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: called velocipede or scooter U want so? In the Washington Post,

877
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 1: the Christopher Ingram wrote this sort of article about how

878
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: the new debate is about with all these scooters like

879
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: the lime and bird scooters that people just leave on

880
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: the streets and if they're safe or not, and realize

881
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: that this same kind of thing happened with the velocipede,

882
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: the big wheel in the front bicycle, uh, the predecessor

883
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: to the bicycle late century. Yeah, exactly, and that the

884
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: same criticisms like are very similar. It's like two wheeled

885
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: menaces blazing down the city streets and sidewalks, piloted by

886
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 1: thrill seekers with little evident concern for their own safety

887
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: or that of others. So they put together some quotes,

888
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: uh to find out if this is a quote from

889
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: the time of the velocipied or op ed about now

890
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: in the bird scooter. So, first one, the new two

891
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 1: wheeled transportation options are no casual amusement. That's the veloca

892
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: veloso the first one. Yeah, actually it's about the scooter. Yes,

893
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: that was from my Washington Post. That seems like a

894
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: little old type no casual amusement. Well what about this

895
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: the most senseless and ridiculous mania that ever took hold

896
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: of the public. That's got to be the veloci raptor

897
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: the velocipid. Going with that one, and yes, you are correct,

898
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: attributed to an American newspaper writer commenting on bicycling in

899
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty nine. That's amazing. Next one, these vandals are

900
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: destroying or desecrating the vehicles and disturbingly imaginative waves and

901
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: celebrating their illegal deeds. That's the scooter. Yeah, yeah, because

902
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: we saw people people are throwing them the fucking sea.

903
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 1: That's crazy to me. They're like, you hate like people

904
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: not driving cars as much that you're going to throw

905
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: these waters short sided. It's just like some people are man,

906
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: just some weird loodite type. I do not recognize this thing.

907
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: It must be away. But yeah, I think also people

908
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: like look, especially on the West Side though, people like

909
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,760
