These are some of our favorite segments from 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza. 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really, 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Considering my heart's 6 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: beating out of my chest right now? Cold brew I 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: would definitely say some cold bruis a little overrated. Um 8 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: the nitro which I tried, you know, the nitro version 9 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: of it too, And I was just like all right 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: with you know, the tank was like out of O 11 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: two or something. They're like, can you wait a little 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: bit to get your coffee. We've got to change the 13 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: O two tank, you know, And I'm like, yeah, I 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: just need to drink regular coffee. This is fucking science coffee, 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: not like clips from Fast and Furious. We gotta throw 16 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: another NOS tank on there. How strong is this? Like? 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: We must keep it stable in a container, you know, 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: oppressire container. You're like, cool, that's probably good for my cold. 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: So when you pour the nitro stuff, it like has 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: those little bubbles like it looks like guinness. Yeah, and 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: it tastes like guinness. And I don't want that, you know, 22 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: I just want the caffeine. And even then, yeah, everyone's like, oh, 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: it just really smooths out the coffee, and I'm like, 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: it wasn't a problem that existed with coffee prior to this. Yeah, 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: they used to have creamer for that smooth but um, 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: and is there anything else? Does it have added caffeine 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 1: or it just smooths it out? The caffeine is higher 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: in cold brew, right, No, in nitro. I mean I'm 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: the wrong person right now. I think what happens is 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: the nitro is right, that the nitro makes it smoother, 31 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: whereas just a regular cold brew is like the whole processes, 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: it's soaking in the water. The longer the beans are 33 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: in contact with water, the more caffeinated it. Because people 34 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: think espresso actually sends you over the edge, but actually 35 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: espresso is lovely. It's concentrated, but the water only pushes 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: through really briefly, and then you can have it and 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: not be so shaky. But when you're drinking this like 38 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: jug of caffeinated that's also the problem. Yeah. I know, 39 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's a little too early to 40 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: be fighting shadow. Yeah. I noticed that when you entered 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: the office. You actually just walked through the door. There's 42 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: just a human shaped hull in the door that I 43 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: was going to ask you. Right, let's talk about grumpy cat. 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: True internet legend also was doing pretty well for him herself. 45 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: I think the cat's real name was tatter Sauces Harder 46 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Harder Sauce, but without like a R I thought was misspelled. Anyway, 47 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: Psycho monsters it is. She was a lady twas a 48 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: lady twas the lady cat, so grumpy cat.

Anyway, 53 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: it was like, you know, everybody knows that bug eyed 54 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: cat with cute underbyte uh, and apparently was making so 55 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: much money.

Um So in twenty I think and 63 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: fourteen was like peak grumpy Cat, fucking main, Just to 64 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: give you an idea, in those two years, this cat 65 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: made ninety nine point five million dollars from an array 66 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: of products, including best selling books and a film drop 67 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: the fucking ball. Grumpy Cat made a nine almost a 68 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in two years. So okay, let's just 69 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: do some quick mats. Let's divide that by two, and 70 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: let's just assume they were all equal. Fifty mil uh 71 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: and fifty mile. Gwyneth Paltrow, you know how much you 72 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: made in that year, eighteen million, so fucking almost tripled 73 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: that ship. Okay, you know who else made you know 74 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: who else grumpy Cat made more than in Christiano Ronaldo, 75 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: the soccer player who's one of the most well paid 76 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: and highly endorsed athletes on the planet. And this is 77 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: teen Ronaldo. This is not fucking latter Days, you know 78 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: whatever that was. This is fucking this is him out here. 79 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: So guys, uh, if you have a cat, I mean 80 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: star getting licensing deals play it's sad. The saddest part 81 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: was that grumpy cat gave birth to a litter of 82 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: like twelve kittens and they're all fighting over the estate 83 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: right now. That's very upsetting. There's no way that that 84 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: cat's true able to reproduce that thing. Oh yeah, you 85 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: didn't love you. There's no way that I I loved her, 86 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: but no one who It was probably not overbread yeah 87 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: yeah or underbread yeah yeah. God was just like again. 88 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: But just one thing that's really interesting is that the owner, 89 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: like it really changed the life of the owner. Uh, 90 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: I did nine million dollars changes that definitely change the life. Yeah, 91 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: she was able to buy a lot of snakes with 92 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: that money, says. What she's achieved in such a short 93 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: time is unimaginable and absolutely mind blowing. I was able 94 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: to quit my job as a waitress within days of 95 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: her first appearing on social media, and the phone simply 96 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,799 Speaker 1: hasn't stopped ringing since. Wow, that's gotta be a trip. 97 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: When you're like, here's my cat, I don't know, Internet, 98 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: what do you think? And then your phone is blowing 99 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: like that you could actually say with it, like within 100 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: days of that, be like yeah, I'm not working at 101 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: the food ruckers anymore. I'm out and guess what, I've 102 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: been drinking from the cheese Spiggott the whole time after hours. Man, 103 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: it really puts the light of that movie. Ted Marburg 104 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: would have been way more successful. I guess, um, too little, 105 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: too late. Yeah, Uh, that's that's insane. Well, like, I'm 106 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: just trying to picture that that person, the owner is 107 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: clearly also a business genius, because most people, like even 108 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: like famous singers, don't like in their first two years 109 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: of fame makee million dollars. So it must have just 110 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: hooked up with like a great call me up, because 111 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: all there's no limit to what I'm also wondering, if 112 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 1: you're Crawfish, I think you can make you're happy cry 113 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: my pet profit. I'm also wondering if there is something 114 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: where we are with Gwyneth Paltrow, we're talking about the 115 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: money that she specifically cleared, whereas with Grumpy Cat, we're 116 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: talking about the money they generated overall. So like Grumpy 117 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: Cat as industry as opposed to uh, you know, Gwyneth Paltrow, 118 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: where we're talking about like the money that she got 119 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: after taxes or something like that, because because grumpy Cat 120 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: doesn't actually get the money that It's basically like we're 121 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: talking about how much money they she generated. But anyways, 122 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: it's not to take anything away from grumpy Cat. I 123 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: know it sounded like a sound, but we don't know 124 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: what I mean, how do they look at Gwyneth Paltrow 125 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: financial from that here? I think she's doing pretty well. 126 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying, is my client? What? No, Gwyneth? Sorry I 127 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: miss Also, do you remember the grumpy Cat movie called 128 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever? Yeah? Do you remember that trailer? 129 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: It though? If you remember, okay, so that's what I'm saying. 130 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: That was part of that year, right when grumpy Cat 131 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: made all that money. So it was grumpy Cat, but 132 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: voiced by a very famous comedian m M actress comedian 133 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: act Aubrey Plaza was the voice of grumpy Cat in 134 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: that movie. Yes, so that was the gravitational pull of 135 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: grumpy Cat in that time. Just just let that stew 136 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. And if you watch the trailer, you're like, 137 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: somebody just like cut the check and then run like 138 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: out of there. This is not a thing. But get 139 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: your money, get your coins, rest in peace. What's something 140 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: people think is true, you know, to be false or 141 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: vice versa. Uh. Well, I've been writing a lot about 142 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: the media's role in climate denial lately, and I think 143 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: one thing people believe to be true is that especially 144 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: they're sort of heroes of journalism, like the New York 145 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: Times the Washington Post are kind of like, you know, 146 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: have spotless reputations and could never possibly be influenced by 147 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: corporate interests. But in fact, the New York Times worked 148 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: with Mobile and then Exxon and then Exon Mobile to 149 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: create the advertorial and the op ad, which are like 150 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: two forms of native advertising and show up in the paper. Um, 151 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't know. I feel like the 152 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: media has actually been one of the most effective tools 153 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: of oil company propaganda, which I don't think people know 154 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: or or necessarily even think about. Including people in the media. Actually, 155 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: I feel like this is like a myth that is 156 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: self perpetuating, because I have a lot of friends who 157 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: are reporters and have gotten into these discussions online with 158 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: people a lot too, and they're like, but I've never 159 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: been I work for the New York Times, and I've 160 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: never been influenced by an oil company guy. And it's like, yeah, dude, 161 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about like some guy in like a 162 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: tuxs and tales and top hat with like us you know, 163 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: mustache showing up at your desk and spike that story. 164 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, give me a red pat no no, no, no, 165 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: no no. Yeah. Yeah. But we know from various documents 166 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: that you know, like the guy who ran pr for 167 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: Mobile Forever, for example, would routinely pull advice from papers 168 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: that we're running too many stories that were critical of 169 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: the industry, and then those like advice would return, so 170 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, yeah. Yeah. So the way a journalist might 171 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: experience it and not realize it is they're at an 172 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: editorial meeting. They pitch a story and their editor or 173 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: editor in chief would have like gotten some feedback, and 174 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: so they just like subtly steer them in another direction. Yeah, 175 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: they're like, we're not as interested in that. We feel 176 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: like we've covered that and we've done that a lot. 177 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: The animals affected by the Arctic drilling, right, yeah, animals 178 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: what they did to get there? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, so, 179 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: I guess the myth is that, you know, influence shows 180 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: up in obvious ways, and it really doesn't. That's why 181 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: it's influential, you know, but I mean those companies legitimately 182 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: believed that there's no such thing as climate change, right, 183 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: So what the oil companies, Well, they all have pages 184 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: on their websites now that say that they do. Now 185 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: their thing is that, um, you know, we don't really 186 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: we still can't really tell how bad it's going to be. 187 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: Not true and that and that it's not their responsibility. 188 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: They're really big on on being like it's a global 189 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: problem that requires a global solution. Um. But you know, 190 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: US oil companies are the number one producer of fossil 191 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: fuels and have been for a while, so they're also 192 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: the global supplier of that global problem. Here in global 193 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: a lot in relation to you. So it does sound 194 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: like l problem. But yeah, yeah, is that's that true, 195 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: that it's like a hundred companies that are responsible for 196 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: like some huge portion of the like seven I think 197 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: it's um. Yeah, the Carbon Major's report which came out 198 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: maybe I think the first one was five or six 199 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: years ago. There was one guy, Richard Heati, who looked at, 200 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: um all of the sort of human emissions from the 201 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: industrial age to now and then looked at you know, 202 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: certain industries and certain companies and did this whole kind 203 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: of inventory and figured out that yeah, d companies are 204 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: responsible for I think it's sev of um global greenhouse 205 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: gas emissions, which is then formed the basis of lots 206 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: of different lawsuits around that, and which is why we 207 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: don't use straws. So it's kind of on us. And 208 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: think about how many straws. That's a great myth. Actually 209 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: is this whole like individual responsibility thing. Like the oil 210 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: companies are constantly like, well, you guys wanted it, We're 211 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: just supplying a demand. But a most individuals I know 212 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: are not oil executives and did not like you know, 213 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: put out massive like spend massive amounts of money to 214 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: influence how people understand this issue or lobby you know, 215 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: Congress to get certain regulations. Like most people this idea 216 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: that like, oh, it's our fault for driving. It's like 217 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: most people I know would rather commute on public transit. 218 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: It's just not like they haven't been given that option, 219 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: you know, even if they wouldn't rather do it, or 220 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: like knowingly rather do it. It's because there's a huge 221 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: competitive disadvantage to not being able to have the freedom 222 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: to roam at the same speed as somebody who has 223 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: your same job like that. Yeah, yeah, totally yeah. This 224 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: it's this like and I mean I know lots of 225 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: people who very much like know that climate change is 226 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: happening now that humans are involved whatever, and that will 227 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: like kind of repeat this stuff. I mean you see 228 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: every Earth Day, it's like ten things you can do. Yeah, yeah, 229 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: you mean pull up to BP with with a squad direction. Yeah, 230 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: one of the things I can do. What's funny because 231 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: the greenwashing stuff is so effective because if if you 232 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: look at it, epad you thought they were they were 233 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: in the solar business and like exons in the algae business. Rightly, Yeah, 234 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: it's it's so effective too because I think it completely excused, 235 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: Like no, do you remember the oil spill that happens 236 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: that's the same BP. But you know, yeah, yeah, exactly 237 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: beyond profits, I mean yeah, it needs to be a 238 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: huge systematic, systemic change, right, not a stopping using straws. 239 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: Although what I mean that's fine, like do that stuff, sure, 240 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: but that's not that's not the biggest driver. That's not 241 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: going to break the wheel. Well on. Also, fossil field 242 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: companies actually like they will continue to increase supply whether 243 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: there's demand for it or not. We have an oversupply 244 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and and they like there's actually like 245 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: a lot of data that shows that that they're continued 246 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: push to drill more or you know, get more natural 247 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: gas from here to there or whatever is at like 248 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: driving an increase in demand and not the other way around. 249 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: They act like somehow they created the only demand side 250 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: only economy. The game did not happen. Yeah, let's talk 251 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: about Q and honors. Q and honors because they ruined 252 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: a children's butterfly fundraiser, which I keep saying that like 253 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: it's a thing. It's the sweetest sounding thread on earth, 254 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: children's butterfly fundraise. What is cuter than that? Those three 255 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: words are that are already on their own unoffensive, and 256 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: then when you combine them, it creates a trifecta of 257 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: of loving, loveliness, just innocence, just perfect fundraiser for the 258 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: local schools. By the way, so it's not a fundraiser 259 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: for butterflies that are owned by kids, okay, or all 260 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: those butterflies that people in l a were smashing with 261 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: their cars when they so James comey. It all started 262 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: with a tweet from James Comy. Uh he tweeted hashtag 263 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: five jobs I've had one grocery store clerk, to vocal 264 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: soloists for church weddings, three chemist for strike replacement, high 265 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: school teachers, motherfucker, five FBI director interrupted ha uh St 266 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: starring Angelina and Julie Right. So, um, you know, fairly 267 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: ordinary tweets and also to this was the thing that 268 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: was just trending on the internet. Yes, so, by the way, 269 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: hashtag five jobs I've had things five jobs I've had 270 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: was not created by James Comey. It was already trending 271 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: and like a politician who you know can create his 272 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: own content, right, and he's just like ha ha here 273 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: here me too, me too. So q and on I 274 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: saw that the tweet was actually a secret message, um, 275 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: because it contained five jobs I've had, actually contains the 276 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: word five gi hod g hod. So if you selectively here, 277 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: look look at how this person marked up this tweet. 278 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: So so if you say five jobs I've had, they're 279 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: using the J from jobs I from I've then had 280 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: as ghad because five g hods. But they're skipping the 281 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: first capital letter. But that's not the point because now 282 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: and they're using but they're using all three of the 283 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: last word all three letters, but five is obviously a 284 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: reference to the how he's going to do five different gihads? Okay, okay, okay, 285 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I mean they could have also selectively just 286 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: circled were just as FIBs, right, but you know what, anyway, 287 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: so I FIR didn't have any of those jobs, so 288 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: five ghad okay okay. Then they looked down the list 289 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: at the first letter in each name, because the way 290 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: that the FBI and c i A like to send 291 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: messages as via across sticks and so it's called Isn't 292 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: that what when you like spell something out with the 293 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: first letter, it's like I love my mom. I ah right, 294 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: that seems right right. Anyways, they saw that it was 295 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: gv csf SO Grocery Vocal Soloist Cameras, and they realized 296 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: that was obviously a reference to the Grass Valley Charter 297 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: School Foundation, the fundraising arm of a California school in 298 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: a small town of thirteen thousand uh. And then they 299 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: saw that on May eleven, the Grass Valley Charter School 300 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: was set to have their Blue Marble Jubilee, which was 301 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: a butterfly themed Earth Day fundraiser that again the cutest 302 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: thing in the entire right. It was to consist of 303 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: egg carton painting and frolicking like that's actually in the teche. 304 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: They there will be flic there will be frolicking, oh 305 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: my god, and bins of bird seed for some reason. 306 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 1: But not only that, Jack, what time was the tweet? 307 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: So that so this is the one thing that I 308 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: mean obviously this is this is Comy sending out a 309 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: flare to his fellows because it was posted at eight am? 310 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: And why is that significant? Wait? What's the time the 311 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: World Trade Center? On nine? Everybody knows that we have 312 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: a moment of silence. I can't even believe why, hey, 313 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: to just circle selectively all these things, and to think 314 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: that the whatever cryptic cryptography the FBI would use or 315 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: whatever these d it's that simple that you could just 316 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: be high and be like you the word yeah, alright, 317 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: like I gotta I gotta tell the risk of people. No, 318 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: this is what they do instead of getting high. This 319 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: this gets them high. This is so uh seeing this 320 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: irrefutable evidence. Uh, The q and On community immediately began 321 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: inundating the principle of that school with messages warning that 322 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: he was going to face a terror attack on that 323 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: day that was actually a false flag orchestrated by the 324 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: FBI to take away their guns.

Um, and I guess he's 379 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: a nice guy, right, there's the lost stories. Yeah, contrary 380 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: to his outward look, he's actually a very kind person. 381 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: Let's pump the brakes, Yeah, but there's you know, a 382 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: lot of people are always like, what's up with his style? 383 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: So his wife recently did an interview with People magazine, 384 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: very hard hitting journalism, um and talking about like So 385 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: she says this, when I first met him, he had 386 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: no goatee, he had dark hair, he wore a suit 387 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: to work every day. Now I look at him and 388 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, where's that man I married with the whole queen? Look? 389 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: Whoa and she's got that is like some ship it 390 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: you say at a like crisis point in your marriage. 391 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: That's like you say that in front of a marriage 392 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: counselor and he like, and you know, to be honest, 393 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: I look at him and I think, where's the man 394 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: that I know? I don't know what this clown is 395 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: for me, this bizarre, grotesque being. So then we find 396 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: out what the genesis was of this whole look. And 397 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: apparently it was an accident somewhat because he had a 398 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: hairdresser at the time. And this guy says, he said, 399 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: I was just kind of having one of those moods 400 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: one day and said just do whatever you want. She goes, 401 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: whatever I want, whatever you want, he recalls, I get done. 402 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: I'm like you're gonna wash out that shampoo. She goes, no, 403 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: that's your hair color. I'm like, my what it was 404 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Friday night at like six o'clock. I had to be 405 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: at the restaurant. I'm like no, She's like yeah, So 406 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: I put a ball cap on and I walked to 407 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: the restaurant. And then they kind of go on to 408 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: say like his hair was like changing with the seasons, 409 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: like it used to be seasonal like that. It was 410 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: like a mood. I guess that you would it on 411 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: his hair. Uh. So he said I would do a 412 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: red blonde in the summer for fun. That is fun. 413 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: He'd cut it and it was yeah, he'd cut it 414 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: and it was like really fun. That's his his wife 415 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: Florie speaking. And then and then the wintertime he'd go 416 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: back to dark. So it's like, you know, he realizes 417 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: that there's work, there's play, um, and you know she 418 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: says that she would never she but does not want 419 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: him to change it. She says, I always say when 420 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: are you going to change your haircut? But it's stuck 421 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,959 Speaker 1: and it's him. She adds, I tease him every once 422 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: in a while, and I do want a little change sometimes, 423 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: but that's like me changing my hair to black. I mean, 424 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that for him. So yeah, I 425 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: kind of like that. I like that she can be like, 426 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: he looks like a clown, but you know it's his 427 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: brand now, like that she's like that open about it 428 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: that they seem like they support each other as much 429 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: as this guy is, uh, you know, sort of a 430 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: cultural clown. Every everything I read about him makes me 431 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: back to me he's the fucking mayor of Flavor Town. 432 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: That is fair. And don't forget was it one wrestling 433 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: like Texas Sabis or something. The names are cool too. Yes, 434 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: you know, I think he's a magic he's like a 435 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: he's like a puckish figure in the world of the 436 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: culinary arts. Yeah, a very like if Shakespeare had written 437 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: about America instead of Puck, he would have created Uh. Alright, 438 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: let's get into the stories of the day. And as 439 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: we mentioned, New Coke is going to be making a comeback. 440 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: So I didn't I didn't realize that not that many 441 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: people knew the story of New Coke. But yeah, at 442 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: a certain point in the eighties, Coke was so scared 443 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: of Pepsi that they and Pepsi like did this kind 444 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: of brilliant trolling move where they kept talking about the 445 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: taste test the Pepsi, where they kept beating Coke in 446 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: the Pepsi challenge, which was just a you take a 447 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: like little Dixie cup each and then ask people which 448 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: they like better, and people generally liked pepsi every time, 449 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: like it was like a seventy uh test rate. So 450 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: Coke re engineered their whole product to be good in 451 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: those taste tests, and we're like, guys, we did it. 452 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: We have new coke which is going to be better 453 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: than old coke. It's gonna be even better than pepsi. 454 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: And people weren't happy about it. Was that was it 455 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: that like pepsi was sweeter than coke? Wasn't there some 456 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: kind of how they presented it right? So the Pepsi challenge. 457 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: The stupid thing is that the Pepsi challenge was a 458 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: test that was invented by Pepsi. Uh. And it's not 459 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: how people actually consume your product. Nobody takes us a 460 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: small sip and of the product. It's about how it 461 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: drinks as an entire beverage. And like a Coke guy 462 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: who's like trying to like this is wrong, I've read. 463 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: I've read a lot about this because I think it's 464 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: so fascinating. There's also a little wrinkle in it that 465 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: involves Bill Cosby that I also think it's interesting. But 466 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: so anyways, it wasn't as good as regular coke. Neither 467 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: was PEPSI Uh. It's just that when you take a 468 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: little thimbleful, the sweeter one wins every time, but if 469 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: you're having to take multiple SIPs of it, it's like 470 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: it becomes too overwhelming for anyone who's not like seven 471 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: years old. And so so they there was a huge backlash. 472 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: They went back to Coca Cola Classic and this ended 473 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: Bill Cosby's relationship with Coke. Prior to this, Bill Cosby 474 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: was the pitchman for Coke. He was the face of 475 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: New Coke, and he got really mad at Coke because 476 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: he was like, yo, I put my face out there 477 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: and said that new Coke was better than old Coke, 478 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: and now you're making me look like a liar. And 479 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: people were like, that's weird that he's like right, well, 480 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: but the thing that was weird is that he was 481 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: very like stuck on people not trusting when he told 482 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: them to drink something. Oh that's remember talking about so 483 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: like it. I think there was like a subtle thing 484 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: where he was like you can trust me, Like my 485 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: trustworthiness when when I tell you to drink something is important, 486 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: like that's a big part of my brand. So now, 487 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: but it's the only difference that New Coke was just 488 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: like a sweeter, mutant version of the old recipe and 489 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: were like, this is not the coke I grew up with, 490 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: Like do you think maybe it's like a stunt, like 491 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: a I hop changing to like I hob And they 492 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: never really did it, and then they put a lot 493 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: of money and like it wasn't like a brief stunt 494 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 1: where they're like we'll go to New Coke and then 495 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: go back to Coca clot like this is I think 496 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: people in retrospect were like that was brilliant because sales 497 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: for coke went up after they went back to Coca 498 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: Clote Classic.

He really did. The Tobias 650 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: fukee K. I'm not gonna blame it all on nine eleven, 651 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: but it certainly didn't help thing where he just blames 652 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: an unrelated bad behavior on nine eleven. Anyways, Uh, now 653 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: he's cell phoning with his weird description of a failed 654 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: relationship with Natalie Portman. He claims to have dated when 655 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: she was twenty he was thirty three. Let's I think, 656 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: well here, let's let's look at his we have we 657 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: have so many receipts, so let's just go through them. 658 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: In his book, he claims first that, uh, they met 659 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,479 Speaker 1: when he was thirty three backstage in Austin, Texas, and 660 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: they're going to new parties in New York together and 661 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: he would see at Harvard and quote kissing under the 662 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: centuries old oak trees. At midnight, she brought me to 663 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: her dorm room and we laid down next to each 664 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: other on her small bed. After she fell asleep, I 665 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: carefully extracted myself from her and take a taxi back 666 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: to my hotel. Uh. And then he said he was 667 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 1: getting has some anxiety about the relationship. Quote it wanted 668 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: one thing for me to be alone. Nothing triggered my 669 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: panic attacks more than getting close to a woman I 670 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: cared about for a few weeks. I had tried to 671 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: be Natalie's boyfriend, but it hadn't worked out. So he 672 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: makes it seem like they were in a relationship and 673 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: he was just too much of a tortured soul to 674 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: continue dating Natalie Portman or the dude was just wild, creepy, 675 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: And she was like, Okay, maybe we kissed once and 676 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: that was fun for a thrill, and now you're not 677 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: leaving me alone. And there and you laughed at the 678 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: line about centuries old oak trees because you did go 679 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: to a small school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I don't remember 680 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: there being a bunch of centuries old oak trees that 681 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: you kissed under. I mean it's very old kisses. Yeah, 682 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: it's got a lot of substance on it. Yeah. So 683 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,439 Speaker 1: then Natalie Portman had to basically respond to this because 684 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: she was like, I don't remember it like this at all. 685 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: Her She says, quote, I was surprised to hear that 686 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: he characterized the very short time that I knew him 687 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: as dating, because my recollection is a much older man 688 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: being creepy with me when I just had graduated high school. 689 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: He said I was twenty. I definitely wasn't. I was 690 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: a teenager. I had just turned eighteen. There was no 691 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: fact checking from him or his publisher. It almost feels deliberate. Uh. 692 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: And it says the book says they met in September. 693 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: Uh and she was born in u Uh. Yeah. And 694 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: so you know, so he likes to prey on recent 695 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: high school grads. Um. But Moby then couldn't just be 696 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: some guy. He had to prove that it's true. Um. 697 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: And he posted a photo of them, like from a 698 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: while back. He's shirtless and looks like aspiring Terry Richardson. Um. 699 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: And in the post, the text of that post is 700 00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: I recently read a gossip piece where in Natalie Portman 701 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: said that we'd never dated. This confused me as we 702 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: did in fact date, and after briefly dating in we 703 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: remained friends for years. I like Natalie, and I respect 704 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: her intelligence and activism, but to be honest, I can't 705 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,720 Speaker 1: figure out why she would actively misrepresent the truth about 706 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: our albeit brief involvement. The story has laid out in 707 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: my book. Then it fell apart accurate with lots of 708 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: corroborating photo evidence. Thanks moby ps. I completely respect Natalie's 709 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: possible regret in dating me. To be fair, I would 710 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: probably regret dating me too, but it doesn't alter the 711 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: actual fact of our brief romantic history. Okay, dude, you're 712 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: you're already doing too much. You're already doing too much 713 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: when you're pulling up to people who just turned eighteen 714 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: in your thirty three I mean, like by that definition, 715 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: like when I was like seventeen or eighteen, I took 716 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,280 Speaker 1: a swing dancing class, uh that was open to the community, 717 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: and so it's like there's this guy, this older gentleman 718 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,280 Speaker 1: in his like seventies or something, and he was like 719 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: like every opportunity because like it would be like all right, now, 720 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: you too, like try swinging dancing was like please no, 721 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: and then like he would just feel my hands. You know. 722 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: That's like he's like the thumbs would do things, and 723 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: it's like it'd be like if that guy was, like 724 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: you wrote a memoir like me and Katie dated briefly, 725 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: and you're like giving me weird hand massages. Felt my 726 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: hands a lot. I'll give you that much. There's another 727 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: quote from Mobi where he talks about how he figured 728 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: out ahead of the writing of this book that you 729 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: can say whatever you want about a famous celebrity because 730 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to sue because they're 731 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: a public figure. Whereas if he claims to have had 732 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: an affair with somebody who's a private individual, they can 733 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: sue the hell out of him. So he really yeah yeah, 734 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: So he basically like gives up his whole plan to 735 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 1: claim to have hooked up with Natalie Portman to borrow 736 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: word from like the Youth, it's just a weird flex, yeah, 737 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: very bizarre flex, Like, yeah, I dated a barely eighteen 738 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: year old. Yeah, but that's not the only person that 739 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: he also was I guess part of his romantic history, 740 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: as he claims he also dated a well I don't know. 741 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: He tried to hit on a pre launa del ray, 742 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: Launa del ray uh. As he describes it, she isn't well. 743 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: I think this is much later on, when he's like 744 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: just fully weird. She had short, bleached hair and looked 745 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: like a beautiful elf. No, yeah, here we go. I 746 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: sat next to her on the piano bench and started 747 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,919 Speaker 1: kissing her. She kissed me back, but then stopped. What's wrong? 748 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: I asked, I like you, but I hear you do 749 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 1: this with a lot of people. I wanted to lie, 750 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: to tell her that I didn't, that I was chased, 751 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: sane and ethical, but I said nothing. Wow, there's also 752 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: and tell her I wasn't a fucking player. That's how 753 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: this conversation actually went down. He was like, you're like 754 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: a beautiful gotta do you a go to the thing. 755 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, do the tongue thing.

I know, 818 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,360 Speaker 1: That's what I'm curious about. But this goes on to 819 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: a larger discussion we're happening, is that this like taboo. 820 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: I think we have taboo topics where I think people 821 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,320 Speaker 1: can develop these interesting ways of doing shit, like taking 822 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,759 Speaker 1: a dump because we don't really talk about it right, 823 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: like and you meet people all the time and you're 824 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 1: like you what they're there are these certain things. I've 825 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 1: noticed it before with how you bathe. It's just that 826 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Yeah, with how Miles bathes when I 827 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 1: observed him.

No, 829 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: it's it's a thing you don't really get feedback on. Um, 830 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: we've talked before. I think about how their cultural differences 831 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,720 Speaker 1: and like white people are less likely to use wash clothes, 832 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: and I've gotten incredulous reactions. What Yeah, that's a that's 833 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: a that's like like you use like something else though, 834 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: write like a poof for a No, No, that's that's 835 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: white people stuff. That's like that's like late nineties like 836 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: the poof, like just a tiny washcloth and soap that 837 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 1: s it up. And then you just so like it's 838 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: that white people use things like loofs or poofs. But no, 839 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: I grew up just you ing soap in my hands, 840 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: not a warsh not I see.

I'm not saying I 845 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 1: was right. And then you use that and then you 846 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: leave that by the toilet, and then you use to 847 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 1: wipe your ass, and then you then you soap it 848 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: up in the shower and then you clean it back 849 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 1: and forth.
