8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: a week. But you know what, if you can guard

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: your eyes from the stupidity, you can kind of you

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: can kind of have fun with it. But let's talk

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: about what's trending as of this moment on this Friday,

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: April first, Happy April Day. I don't think I've interacted

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: with anything on the internet that remotely seemed like a prank,

14
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: so I count myself lucky. Okay. First trending topic Ramadan.

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: It's the first day of Ramadon, so shout out to

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: those observing for this next month. I hope it's a

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: good one to those. I hope nobody waves the smell

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: of delicious food in your face when you're trying to

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: fast and be faithful. I hope that the nights come

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: quickly so that you can get your grob on. I

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: hope that it's the cleansing and reflective time that you're seeking,

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: and that you you get the spiritual clarity that you

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: need exactly. One of my friends who grew up in

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Saudi arab But he said he used to just stay

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: up at night and then sleep during the day. It

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: makes sense to me. I feel like, I feel like

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: that's maybe cheating, not in the spirit of the holiday.

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: But listen, you do what you gotta do. I get it.

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: You grew up Muslim, but then he became a surfer,

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: so I think he was alway kind of he was

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: always listen. When I was an observant Catholic, did I

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: use it as an excuse on Fridays to go get

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: my fish sandwich for McDonald's even though they taste it.

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what I was doing, but I was like,

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: that's when you eat fish during on Friday, so we

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: gotta go to McDonald's and get official sandwich. When I

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: was a Catholic, I was eight, so it's a different

38
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: time you had. You had shame around getting a fileil fish.

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: I actually about it now. Then I was eager. I

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: was really happy. I was like, we get in some fish,

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: let's go. But now I'm like, what are you thinking

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: you could like I could have come home and like,

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, made salmon. I eat all fish based

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: fast food products. People know this about me. I'm a

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: subway tuna fanatic. You damn right, I'm eating a fucking

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: filet of fish, even post it's not real tuna Tuna gate,

47
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: because if you really look at that, right, like, it's

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: not like they're putting a bunch of crunched up TiVos

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: or something in there and telling you it's tuna, Like

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, like it's it's like

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: cooked down in process to the point where a lot

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: of like the biological material that would have been in

53
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: a test is just destroyed in the cooking process. So

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: that's what can bring inconclusive results either way. I don't

55
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: care if it is fucking ground up tivas, then god

56
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: damn I'll go. I'll go to a fucking thrift store

57
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, got TiVo's here because I need

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: to make some tuna later. Um. But yeah, shout out

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: to all the people who eat fast food fish. I

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: got eating fast food, uh filet o fish because my mom,

62
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: fishes eating in Japan. So as a kid, the first

63
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: thing when I was like, okay, here's your first McDonald's

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: thing you'll ever interact with the filet of fish. I

65
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: didn't have a fucking burger or a little nuggies. I

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: was like seven or something. What a gift your mom

67
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: was a blessing. Um. Next thing trending northern lights. Yes, yeah,

68
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: there's a moderate to strong geomagnetic storm from increased activity

69
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: on the Sun which could bring a roar borealis if

00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: you're in the Pacific north West tonight. We live in

00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: That's wild. I've never seen it, but it is something

84
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: I want Opper State, Wisconsin on a trip to like

85
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: one of those indoor water park hotels situations. Oh right,

86
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: because that's like the water park capital over there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

87
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: So as a kid, that's what we used to do.

88
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: You either go to the Indiana Dunes, your head up

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin and go to one of the indoor water parks.

90
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: And we were out at night one night and I'm like,

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,600

Speaker 1: they're like that's the Borealis is Like that's effing nuts.

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: But I haven't seen it since I want to go.

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: There's this place in Canada called yellow Knife that's like

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: almost on top of the world, and there's a point

96
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: in the year where for like weeks on end it's

97
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: just const atle twilight. It's my dream to go there

99
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,080

00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: David uh that you can see froll my Buffy fans

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: out there. That was a David boreanness reference. Okay, Um.

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: Next trending thing is Amazon because the first Amazon warehouse

104
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: has unionized. Oh, this is such an exciting It is

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: so hard to get a union going, guys, and especially

106
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: in a place like Amazon that has not just actively

107
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: brought in five oh to try to police and shut

108
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: down these things, not just fired community leaders basically disrupting

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: the process of developing a union, but now has started

110
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: these like national commercials that are meant to brainwash the

111
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: public and being like, listen, our employees, we treat them right.

112
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: We'll make people he in bottles. That never happened. Uh.

113
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: We definitely of COVID seriously and everyone was masked. Uh

114
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: didn't kill people in that tornado when the alarms going

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: often demanded they stay outside and work. That's not us.

116
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: We love our people. But even at the bottom of

117
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: that commercial there's like a disclaimer which is like for

118
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: full time employees only, and you know the Amazon is

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: not constantly hiring full time in their factory. So it's

120
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: really vital that Amazon and spaces like that, especially these

121
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: large warehouses are able to unionize because conditions can just

122
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: become horrible so quickly. I'm hoping we see something similar

123
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: happening in our meatpacking and slaughterhouses because the conditions they've

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: been living under for years just truly, truly awful. So

125
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I know it took just a great

126
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: amount of effort, a lot of fear. You know, risking

127
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: your job in the middle of pandemic is no joke.

128
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, shout out to them, congratulations. You love to see,

129
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: not really love, because like you know, you'd you'd wish

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: that the money Amazon actually spent on busting the union

131
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: could have just been paid. You know, it couldn't be like, well,

132
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: if we're gonna pay four million dollars in one year

133
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: to try and funk with these unions from forming at

134
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the best summer facility in Alabama and this one in

135
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Staten Island, these people have been paying like something like

136
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: over three grand a day to be there to be

137
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: like just getting people's ears talking all this ship about

138
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: the union, trying to be like, well, you know, you know,

139
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: all the fees and like, I don't know if they're

140
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: really looking out for your interests to YadA YadA YadA,

141
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: or doing these like captive audience type things, or they're like, okay,

142
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna do with quick talk. You have to listen

143
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: to what I'm saying where I will try and besmirch

144
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: the union to prevent you from unionizing. Here, it's kind

145
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: of embarrassing that they would think that their workers aren't

146
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: in communication with one another and being not intelligent enough

147
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: to fight for better conditions overall, like so many it's

148
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: really and I think even more frustrating in a society

149
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: where we're constantly hearing like people don't want to work anymore,

150
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: like nobody wants to work. They're not taking each they

151
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: don't want to work when they're like actively fighting to

152
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: be Like I would love to keep this job and

153
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: work here. I just want to do in a that

154
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: is sane and safe, Like I just want to not

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: be working eighteen hour days. And I need, you know,

156
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: if I throw out my back, I need to make

157
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: sure that my medical is still gonna be covered and

158
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: I can come back to work when I'm healthy. It's

159
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: like it's basic human stuff. Amazon makes so much money.

160
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: I really can't wrap my mind around somebody being like yeah,

161
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: I bought a whole block in Boston to build a giant,

162
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: unnecessary mansion that I'll visit twice a year. But I

163
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: can't fix your air conditioning. And I don't want to

164
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: give you healthcare because you're just like a dirty worker.

165
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: Like it's just because you're a dirty worker, because shareholder value.

166
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Come on, I don't want to say dirty worker. I'm

167
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: just saying their shareholder value is more important than your life. Okay, loser,

168
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: out my face. And this is the same thing with

169
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: like Starbucks too. They were fighting so hard to prevent

170
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: that union from happening in Buffalo, New York. And it's

171
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: because with companies like this, the second one place unionizes,

172
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: it typically creates a cascading effect where other workers really

173
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: lies their potential, they understand their power, and they start saying,

174
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: you know what, actually, maybe we need to do that

175
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: here so we can guarantee livable outcomes for ourselves. And

176
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: again that speaks to why you see people like in Starbucks,

177
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: you saw Howard Schultz like come back from the grave

178
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, I used to be the CEO.

179
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Let me tell you a terrible metaphor about a Holocaust

180
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: blanket and talk about how that's why you shouldn't be

181
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: in a union. And on top of this, the money

182
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: that Amazon spending, because you know, once this thing happens,

183
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like Pandora's box. Hopefully this is

184
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: Pandora's box opening for more collective action and organizing and unionization.

185
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: But we shall see. Conde Nast just announced, uh they're

186
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: trying to unionize, which is huge, especially if you ever

187
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: work for Kande Nast. Their payout system forever long to

188
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: get hay from that hap yo they used to do.

189
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: People went okay, So I used to work there. It

190
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: took me years to become full time because I was

191
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: awesome permanent ship like they do people. And then when

192
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: you have like freelance to be like, okay, so I

193
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: still haven't gotten paid. I'm like, yes, it's net nineties.

194
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes here ninety days before you're paid three months you

195
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: guys for I mean, I was freelancing semi regularly there

196
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: years ago, and it was the same situation. Would be

197
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: like this article is gonna run tomorrow and we'll see

198
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: you in the fall. I'd be like, what the hell

199
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: so stressful? So like I yeah, I'm like yeah, when

200
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: you're writing and making content. It's hard to like fake

201
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: that ship. You know, it's not like you know, because

202
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: like part of you is like if you're doing it

203
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: because you do like to write or you do like

204
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: to create, and it's very easy to get exploited because

205
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: of your natural inclination to want to do those things

206
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: would be accepted by this company, and it's so low

207
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: that you just feel like you have to take you know.

208
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: I remember like they offered me a thousand dollars for

209
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: one piece, and I was like, my god, this is

210
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: so much money. Yeah, I get paid like fifty dollars

211
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: or eight hundred words, like a thousand for one article.

212
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: Like it was bananas to me at the time. And

213
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: now knowing like somebody was talking about like nineteen nineties

214
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: Vogue writers and what they were making from a Vanity

215
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Fair article. Yes, I was on the floor. I was like,

216
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: we used to have careers. They're like I was on

217
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: a retainer for like three k a year. You're like, uh,

218
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: in fact, when we respected writers man a dream. But yeah,

219
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: So shout out to everybody, literally everybody who's unionizing right now.

220
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: I really feel like this is a worker revolution is happening,

221
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: and it's very exciting. I just want more and more

222
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: dominoes to fall. Please more and more and more and

223
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: more and more and more um to the people. That's look,

224
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: there's more of us than them, and that's the thing

225
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: they want to keep trying to make sure you don't

226
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: figure that part out. Remember how they freaked out when

227
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: people just went in the streets go back to work.

228
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: We can't give you all any more free money. You

229
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: have your ab cating for yourselves. Insanity. Yeah, no, no, no,

230
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: put the put them back, turn the machine back on.

231
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: You got to go back to an office, be oppressed.

232
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: We don't like this. All right, let's take a quick break.

233
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: We'll be right back to talk some more trends and

234
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: we're back. Marijuana is trending because the House of Representatives

235
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: today they voted for the second time to decriminalized cannabis.

236
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: And you know, uh pretty much down party lines for

237
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: the most part. But you know, before we start, you know,

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: setting off blunts in the air. Just know that, like everything,

239
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: it will probably just die in the Senate, so uh,

240
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: keep your keep your eyes peeled on that. But it's

241
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: it's funny when you always see like certain headlines about

242
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: like something being passed in the House, and it should

243
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: just be like, yeah, wait for so much, think it

244
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: goes so much, ship goes out of the House, but

245
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: then it has to go to the fucking Senate. Uh

246
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: as Mitch McConnell calls it his graveyard, his favorite graveyard.

247
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: Jen Saki, the White House Press Secretary, is leaving her position,

248
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: it sounds like, and is set to join MSNBC to

249
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: be a host. And I have no issue with that.

250
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Good for you, Jen Sak, great to see you found.

251
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: You're probably in. That's a fucking check because I'm sure

252
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: you're like, well, you're gonna kind of tap out working

253
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: for the federal government. Give me that peacock money. That's

254
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: a wardrobe budget. You're gonna have your hair laid every day.

255
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, by yourself, one of those nice like brownstones.

256
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: You got a girl, congratulations and plus and then the

257
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: network knows you're not gonna start saying some wild leftist

258
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: ship on TV because you came from the White House.

259
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: You know what it is. You know what the guardrails

260
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: are for how we're going to talk on this channel.

261
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Love to see that revolving door. If people just from

262
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: like I was here to just be the mouthpiece for

263
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: an administration and now I'm that but on TV. But

264
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: you you're going to have to you'll just accept what

265
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying is not being a total propaganda all the time.

266
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: But anyway, you love to see it. Hey, MSNBC, man,

286
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: any ideas you think he's probably I wonder how much

287
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: he's sweating right now. Probably not at all, because he's

288
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: the world's whatever. Yeah, he's fine, but he's just watching

289
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: his wife like give his money away and is dying. Though.

290
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: I think he's on the floor about it. I think

291
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: he's like, you, how much to Who did she know

292
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: that if we had invested that we could earn it

293
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: back six times in two years? What is she doing?

294
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: Seems to help people. I keep telling her that's a

295
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: myth that you can help people. People help them. They

296
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: don't know how to spend money, Okay, then I don't

297
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: know how to use it, right, and that's why we

298
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: have it. Okay, yes, thank you? Ridiculous um. And then

299
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: let's check in with the box office, because this man

300
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: is in so many I guess I'm like, he's in

301
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: so many movies. But I'm just thinking about the we

302
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: work thing that's been blasted in front of and I

303
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: just don't care. I don't care about we worked the business.

304
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: When I started Popaca, I was like, is this another

305
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: l a cult? And they were like, no, it's like

306
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: a business, shared space office. It's so weird, you know,

307
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: full full disclosure. When we first started this podcast, we

308
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: were recording out of a closet at we of it

309
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: because they didn't have a proper space for us to

310
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: record a podcast. And it was wild. It was it

311
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: was like me Anna and Jack in the tiniest room

312
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: and it was just like, all right, I'm just gonna

313
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: have some more of this fruit water. They have the

314
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: water with the cut up fruit. I love it. I

315
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: love I don't like making it at home because they

316
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: can't drink it fast enough and I'm not trying to

317
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: come out those little bottles all the time, So like

318
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: the idea of going somewhere else where it's like cold

319
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: and it's like strawberries, mint and cucumbers. Done done. I'm

320
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: a bougie bitch and I love it so more obous.

321
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: This is a Sony m joint. Yeah, so it's a

322
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: Sony owned property. They owned the rights to the care

323
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: after Marvel was not involved like they are with Spider Man.

324
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: So this is pretty much just Sony, and it's supposed

325
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: to start the Dark Universe, so you're gonna have people

326
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: like Blade coming in. Um Harrington's character from The Eternals

327
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: would probably fall under this category. There's a lot of

328
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: cool stuff to do. Marvel's trying to go away from

329
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: just the like American is Superhero and so the Disney

330
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: people are like, Okay, well let's focus on kids and

331
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: bring a lot of So bring a lot of young

332
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: people in. Spider Man has really kicked it off, but

333
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Kamala coming up. We have America Shava's

334
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: coming up in uh Multiverse of Madness. And then the

335
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: other side of that is they took the Netflix properties

336
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: added them to Disney Plus. Those are much more violent

337
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: and bloody than anything we've seen in the stand up

338
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: m c U, Blue Cages and Your Daredevil's Yes You're

339
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: Jessica Jones? Is that is all now on Disney. It

340
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: was funny when I logged in the day after they

341
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: came up, it was like, Uh, is this a space

342
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: for mature viewers or is this kids only? I was like, Oh,

343
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: we're really we're changing over here in Disney plus Land.

344
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: What is it for? Because weren't they like cleaning up

345
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: scenes in the Falcon and Winter Soldier or something stuff

346
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: falcon up. So they did edit that, which is why

347
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: physical property matters. Guys, you got to buy your DVDs

348
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: and ship. Uh, they can just do whatever they want

349
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: with digital. It's literally not the same TV show you watched.

350
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: But that show also is probably their most panned show, um,

351
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: since they started releasing these Marvel TV shows in the

352
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: pandemic um. And it makes sense to me to clean

353
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: it up because there's not that much in there happening.

354
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: And I think I think they're going to try to

355
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: make the guy we all view as like a white supremacist,

356
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: awful douche a hero. And I think they recognized that

357
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: it came off like that and they are trying to

358
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: pivot and adjust because when the end of it and

359
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: they were like, he's a hero, I was like, that

360
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: asshole of the white race. Actually, no, it's messy and

361
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: it's bad his black friend died for him. I didn't

362
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: like it at all. Um, I might watch a black

363
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: man be shy. I was like, why are we doing

364
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: this Disney disgusting um to this hero? Yikes? Um, that

365
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: whole property really the pandemic rocked it a little too

366
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: hard because they we're going to have a pandemic in

367
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: the show, and then they didn't want to have that

368
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: when there was actual pandemic going on. So too many

369
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: changes for that show I think to be successful. There

370
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: is a new Captain America movie planned starring Anthony Mackie.

371
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how that plays out. Um.

372
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: But as they're going darker, the bringing more bus he

373
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: is like, um, an anti hero kind of you know,

374
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: he's got feast on people to live, but maybe he'll

375
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: just attack the baddies do uh. He's trying to cure children.

376
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: He's benevolent. The movie did not do well. It only

377
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: earned thirty three million. It's it's projected to earn thirty

378
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: three millions opening weekend. Deadline does say it could go

379
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: as high as fifty, but even if it reaches all

380
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: the way to the top of fifty, it's still not

381
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: doing anywhere near numbers of like Venom two nine point

382
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: one million, and it's opening weekend. I think, Yeah, Jared

383
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: Leto's just isn't I don't know how much of a

384
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: draw he is, you know in that sense, like I

385
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: get he kind of looks spooky, like more Beous. But

386
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know if that if that's

387
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: working for or against people wanting this, because my first

388
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: thought of Morebus was that one toy that was always

389
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: at Toys r US that nobody wanted, like everybody wanted

390
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: the Spider Man and the other ones. It's like, damn

391
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: only God, it's more Bous want this one. Yeah, I

392
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: think after his success and I'm putting that in quotes

393
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: as the joker for Suicide Squad, you know, it did

394
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: rally a very specific fan base. You know, he has

395
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: just thirty seconds to Mars fan base. He has an Oscar.

396
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: I think the thought process is like, oh, this is

397
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: a person who's done the same caliber of work as

398
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the big people that we've brought in.

399
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: But my thing is, and I think it's something we're

400
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: going to continue to learn, is these movies can come out.

401
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: We don't want to see stars in name roles unless

402
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: they can have the hell out of it, right, So

403
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: like the they embody the characters so much, like of

404
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: course they are because that's the only choice. But yeah,

405
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: like we know that mechrchel Aaliy is gonna kill Blake

406
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: because mirchel Alli has never given a bad performance in

407
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: his entire life, and he's cool as hell. Like the

408
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: vibes are there, um d blood exactly. But otherwise, you know,

409
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: we've really been enjoying discovering these new talents Is and

410
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: as the face of the characters, uh, you know you've

411
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: made three Chris is famous off these movies like it's fine,

412
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: bring in some new blood. And again we're seeing that

413
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: with a lot of these young performers coming in to

414
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: do the teenage sidekicks. We'll see. I just I don't

415
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be good at all, and it

416
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have the same flavor as like a Venom. Venom

417
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: is a movie that you can watch it and be like,

418
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: this is not high art, but everyone making it in

419
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: joys the hell out of it, and therefore it becomes

420
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: fun to watch. And the director's timing is just it's

421
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: so on point that it sort of works. It's one

422
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: of those it's so bad it's good, And I guess

423
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: Morbus just didn't hit that same flavor. It was just bad,

424
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: people were bored, didn't like it. Um. I think it

425
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: was kind of silly and just didn't work overall. So

426
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: I will watch it when it hits streaming, as I

427
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: must watch all of these movies. It was not worth

428
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: a ticket to me, and it seems like probably not

429
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: to a lot of other people. I'll see you in

430
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: three weeks. I see in three weeks. Shout out, bored

431
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: bes because we're bored with this. Okay, that's gonna do

432
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: it for today and this week. What a week. We'll

433
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: be back next week, obviously with more continued analysis scutting

434
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: commentary as you are used to from this fine podcast.

435
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, have a good weekend. Y'all. Take care of yourselves,

436
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: take care of each other. Uh, don't be a trash person,

437
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like stick up to ship,

438
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: like racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, whatever it is. Don't don't

439
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: just be like, don't don't let that ship cook in
