Speaker 2: for religious scholars in Egypt. It's called Azad University, and

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: my dad took like a class there for a day

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: and ever since then he's like, yeah, I've been to Asha.

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: Oh he's hilarious. I didn't really so. I thought he

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: was always just kind of mean and like, you know,

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: like a lot of dads just keeps kids at arms distance. Yeah.

32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: I didn't realize until after I wrote my memoir and

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: I was like asking him questions that he was actually

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 2: a comedian, comedic genius. He's actually really really really funny.

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: He was chilling, stand up. Oh my god. He told

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: me this one story. So I sat down and I

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: was interviewing him for the book, and I was asking

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: him how he why doesn't have any hair beneath his

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: neckline at all? So look straight from here down nothing nothing,

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: no arm hair, no leg hair, all the way down.

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: Probably not a question you want to ask your dad.

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: I'll answer it. I mean, like he's been dipped. Leave

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: that curiosity aside. Really, that's what he was gonna say,

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: That's that's what he said. He said, you know, I

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: come from a part of Egypt where we celebrate the

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: first born son by dipping them in milk when they're born.

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, wow, it's really fascinating. I'm taking

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: notes and writing it down. I wrote it into the chapter,

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: and then when I was reading it out loud to

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: my brother for a fact check, he was like, that

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: doesn't sound right, sought my dad. He was at all.

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: It was like, I've never heard that before. The milk

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: was this and my dad starts cracking up and he

54
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: was like, you believe that. He's like milk you think

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: we just have milk like that where we could just

56
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: like dip babies.

57
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: In there and then we'll throw it out. I was like, good, okay, yeah,

58
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: He's like, you didn't know that. My interview style was

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: two truths and a lie. Every every paragraph I did

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: a lie in there. Oh, you're the fun with my

61
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: bad bro. You know you know I'm not your dad, right,

62

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: me so many stories like that.

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: You know. He told me another story about how when

65
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: he got married he was having a taxi cab in

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: the city in the seventies, that's when he got married.

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: He told his wife, my mom, that he would take

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: her to a nice Italian dinner, and so they got

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: in the cab. They drove up to Joe's Pizza on

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,839

00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: Of person I mean it strikes me as a parliament

106
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: a parliament is, I think, well, I think those are

107
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: all in the same range of cigarette. It's like the

108
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 4: cigarette for people who are like, oh, I don't smoke,

109
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: but them bump cigarettes right right.

110
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, because parliaments to me were like the cigaret the

111
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: first cigarette all the white girls in my high school smoked.

112
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: And then when they're like, oh, you could do drugs

113
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: out the recessed filter, I was like, yeah, this is

114
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: this is this is for me. Yeah yeah, No, would

115
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: a black and mild be like a Doctor Pepper black

116
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: and mile see that's mhmm.

117
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one that's only a mixer, you know, like

118
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: whichever soda is like bet does a mixer because it

119
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: isn't black and mild like you use.

120
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: I mean you can't. I mean I usually you want

121
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: to use around cigarettes. Maybe that's just a coke heavy

122
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: you know.

123
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: But people do take out the inner paper inside the

124
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: black and miles, so it hits a little bit less harsh.

125
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: So it is in a way, it's like you wouldn't

126
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: just hit it straight out the fucking pack like that

127
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,200

Speaker 3: like CNN, The New York Times, n p R g

165
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: Q of the Columbia Journalism Review, which is just a

166
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: couple of local periodicals, such as that it's actually.

167
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: Prepared this time. I'm going to be a a k a.

168
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: The Hot Take, a k a. The Bubba on the

169
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: Beat a a k A. Fish No relation.

170
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 3: Bubba on the Beat does get to the theory that

171
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: Miles and not I have positive from the start that

172
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: everyone's imagining Bill Clinton. There is the horse theory.

173
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: What about Sparks? What about Bubba Sparks?

174
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: You know that would be just so because anyone asked,

175
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 3: is anyone Bubble?

176
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a time.

177
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a time for every person

178
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: named Bubba to be like, just so you know, bro,

179
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: got nothing to do with me. It's not Bubba Wallace,

180
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: it's not Bubba Sparks. It's not Bubba Smith from Police Academy,

181
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: even though he passed away man years ago.

182
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: The timing probably doesn't work out for it to be

183
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: Bubba Gump, Bubba from Forrest Gump. Yeah, because I think

184
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 3: he passed away and he you know, they would have

185
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: met in the Wars Trump hadn't dodged the draft.

186
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: Oh you mean you mean the actual Bubble actor Michael Yeah, yeah, yeah.

187
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just saying I don't know. I don't know

188
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: Sark Bubba Wallace Michael T. Williams is sixty eight years

189
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: old now, the guy who played Bubba. That's so I mean,

190
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that.

191
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 3: I feel like a dismissive asshole like Mark Epstein would

192
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: probably refer to him as Bubba.

193
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you never know.

194
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: Let's let's leave no lee unturned here, because he is.

195
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: He is approaching this like a bridge troll in a riddle,

196
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: being like, I cannot tell you who it is.

197
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: I will tell you who it is not. Oh, okay,

198
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: like your dad when he's being interviewed.

199
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: One of us can only tell the truth, one of

200
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: us can only tell lies.

201
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: You have three questions. Hey, man, it's great, it's great

202
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: to have you back. How have you been. Oh man,

204
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: of writing done, getting a lot of pieces done. I

205
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: spent some time at the UVU campus where Charlie Kirk

206
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: made his last debate. Got to learn some things from

207
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: talking to those kids directly. Yeah, man, it's been good.

208
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: It's been good. How are you guys? Yeah? Wait, is

209
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: that a piecer working on right now? Or do that?

210
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: Is that something you wrote already? It published? Yeah? Oh

211
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: it did? I have to check that out. I was

212
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: just reading.

213
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: I was reading a lot of your coverage about Zoran's election,

214
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: like in the build up and aftermath, but I missed

215
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: that kirkpiece.

216
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: Oh dude, I'm I'm so excited about Zoron already, like

217
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: woking up in a whole new America? Does it?

218
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely gave everybody the just a light

219
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: air of positivity. Although now we're like, okay, so how

220
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: are the billionaires They're they're all now scheming to be

221
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: like how do we make this not or do anything?

222
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, you know what? It felt like. It

223
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: felt like that moment in Syria when Lasholotte, I said,

224
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: finally got deposed and then all the prisons are being released,

225
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: and everything was just opening up, and people were coming

226
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: back to Syria for the first time and forever. That's

227
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: what this feels like. If we finally saw democracy do

228
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: what it was supposed to do. It wasn't just like

229
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: some somebody cheating or some election fraud something. It just

230
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: felt like more than fifty it worked. His campaigning worked

231
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: right right, And I feel like we haven't seen that

232
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: in a while.

233
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: No, no, not almost, Like I mean the local race.

234
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's usually at the like city,

235
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: state level where you're going to see that kind of

236
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: like big de democracy kind of stuff really go down.

237
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: Once you get to the federal level, it's just it's

238
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: just money games.

239
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: Yes we can, he may. I mean, we're gonna get

240

Speaker 3: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,

241
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're

242
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,240

Speaker 2: We're gonna talk.

244
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: About what Donald Trump is up to with his affordability tour,

245
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: his McDonald's franchise e speech that had a weird speaking

246
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: of police academy had a weird like little Michael Winslow

247
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: moment where it was like, well, yeah, did he did

248
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: he just start. Should he turn into a walkie talkie there.

249
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: I have a theory on what he was going for.

250
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about that. We'll talk about his

251
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: plan for getting people distracted from the epsteam files, which

252
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: is a bribe. You know, Just which of all the

253
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: policies like this, you know, I'll take that, send some

254
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: money directly to people. Yeah, that's never been a bad thing.

255
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: Now will it solve everything? I don't know about that,

256
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: But go ahead, we're square.

257
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: Stop asking about the right just I don't want to

258
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: hear it ever again. Okay, you can take the car.

265
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: the LAPD do pretty well because they are on some

266
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: always on some like guilty Ship. But this is pretty bad.

267
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,000

Speaker 2: That's cool.

303
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,000

310
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,920

311
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: just this feels like a meal. Like this feels like

312
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: a whole meal. I really enjoyed that one. Are you

313
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: want to like Super Mario and stuff? I was like, well, yeah,

314
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean I get like the An made it version.

315
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: They're just trying to keep it like to very video

316
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: gaming kind of stuff because it wasn't the John Liguizamo

317
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Bob Hoskins live action Mario Brothers we got in the nineties.

318
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: But are so good? Are the fans? How are they?

319
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: Because obviously, I mean I feel like Nintendo fans are

320
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: less toxic than like console or PC gaming fans are.

321
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: Is the Are there are people enthusiastic about this casting?

322
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Pretty okay. I think everybody. They didn't want it

323
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: to be like some big name celebrity where they were

324
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: going to just try to force it like they did.

325
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because they continuously do. How are they going

326
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: to get Chris Pratt to do the voice though? Is

327
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: he just overdubbing them like in vo afterwards? All Right,

328
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you those directors me and then i'm

329
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: gonna give you the directors filmography, and you're gonna do

330
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: a bit of a Brittany Brosky face miles where it's like,

331
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: all right, yes, the kombucha face. So he is best

332
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: known for directing the Maze Runner film trilogy, but then

333
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: he made the Fourth Kingdom of the Planet fifth or

334
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: Fourth Planet of the Apes reboot Kingdom of the Planet

335
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: of the Apes, which I've heard is like interesting at

336
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 3: least and sorry, Yeah, I.

337
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: Don't look, bro, I don't do whatever the fuck you're

338
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna do. You never know, because I know the directing

339
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: movies is you might make a whole bunch of shitty

340
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: ones and then suddenly make a good one. So off

341
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: of this and Aiman's excitement, I'm gonna go ahead and

342
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say really positive about this.

343
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: I do really like po I do like the No

344
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: Name performers. So it's a perfect pairing, man, if you

345
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: think about it. Because all the monsters in Zelda are

346
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: like non humanoid, They're they're like pig ape right thing creatures,

347
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: and so it actually kind of makes sense that actually

348
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: makes me more excited they hat to be.

349
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for when they're gonna because i know

350
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: right now they say this woman Bo Braggison is playing Zelda.

351
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 2: But I know, but they're gonna put Sidney Sweeney in

352
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: that world eventually. Oh god. Yeah. And you know what,

353
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: you know what else it is, I haven't been excited

354
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: about anything, uh like, in movies for so long, and

355
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: so I'm just really allowing myself kind of forcing myself

356
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: to be really excited about this one.

357
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: I love that may not be a disappointment made really

358
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: hyped over a movie.

359
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: I was pretty psyched about one battle after another.

360
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: I was really psyched over weapons, and I never saw

361
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: it still weapons.

362
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: Weapons, I know. I was just like I remember seeing

363
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: the trailer.

364
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, this ship fucking goes and then cut

365
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: to like, you know, life lifing. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

366
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: but I'm glad.

367
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: Also, it seems like it's aimed at theaters, right, Like

00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a theatrical release. They're not just going

Speaker 3: I was really excited about the uh Miss Piggy movie.

373
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 3: I heard that it's going to be a streaming thing,

374
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: which is crazy, like you need to put that on

391
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm talking about?

392
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 6: Oh?

393
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, the little uh how about partridges with a little

394
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: screen on it and you give it food and you

395
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: clean up its poot and you see them get bigger

396
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 2: and they laugh and they cry and they're just so

397
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: happy and you can't neglect them to the point that

398
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: they could die. Yeah, they could die.

399
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they die? Do they die forever? That that's

400
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: a question that my seven year old asked me about

401
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: people recently.

402
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. That'd be that'd be crazy if

403
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: you have to, like I think, like the throat away,

404
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: if it dies, that'd be crazy.

405
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: I feel like the original Japanese version probably would have

406
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 1: been like, yeah, bro, it's gone. And then if our

407
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: American consumers are like you got maybe just take the

408
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: battery out and put it back in.

409
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: Oh they respawn, thank you can respawn.

410
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: Jesus, Well that's a little scary. Actually yeah, yeah, all right,

411
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: yeah this this totally missed me.

412
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: Well yeah, because you were what your four year Yeah,

413
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: you would have been like driving, like a driving high schooler.

414
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: By the time this, Yeah, really hit fever pitch for me, Like,

415
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: how old are you? In my fifties? Yeah, dude, that

416
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 2: looks good on you. You still have all your hair.

417
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm forty years older than months.

418
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: He's thirty two, bro, No, no, no, forty four. Yeah,

419
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: you'll be forty five. Shit, I'm forty one.

420
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

421
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: Ah, God damn the old as fuck. So you are

422
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: you seeing that, like is it coming back in the

423
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: sense so you can get one on eBay? Or you're

424
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: seeing this as a trend.

425
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: They have like a whole new line of them, and

426
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: you know, but yeah, so I think it's just kind

427
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: of like a fun little toy that you could just

428
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: keep in your pocket and then every once in a

429
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: while it rings and you can pull it out and

430
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: you can play with it, and it's something that's not

431
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: your phone. I think that's like the bigger draw exactly.

432
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: That's not an app something that's not you know, because

433
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: I feel like so much of my life and my

434
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 2: wife's life and everything is just going from like big

435
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: screen to little screen in the back to the big screen,

436
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: the back to the little screen. Yeah, and life has gotten

437
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: so repetitive with having kids. I mean, dude, I love

438
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: having kids. I like being a dad, but we end

439
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 2: up doing the same things over and over again, and

440
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: the days are really running away from us. So I

441
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: wanted to do something different for this year's holidays and

442
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 2: year holidays, which it's funny because we're mostlim we don't

443
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: even do that stuff. But I still wanted to get

444
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: her a gift so that she wouldn't feel left out.

445
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: And there I was looking around, and I just like,

446
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: I wanted to get her like a gadget, something that

447
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: was small, But she's not really the gadget. She doesn't

448
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: want like a watch or anything like that.

449
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, she kind of likes things that are like not

450
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: a dummy, like a dumb phone, you know.

451
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: So I was like looking at that, and I was like, yo,

452
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: she really used to like that stuff back in the days.

453
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: I remember I used to like that stuff too. Let

454
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: me just get home one nice I.

455
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: Can't wait next time you're on, we need to get

456
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: the report, because my my gut would be the having

457
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: kids and then having a thing that replicates having kids.

458
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: Would like I didn't even know one.

459
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: To feed one of them, and I can't remember which

460
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: one it is.

461
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: This one's got clients coming off of it. It's funny

462
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: though too that like I mean, you bring it up

463
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: because like when this ship was popping is because we

464
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: didn't have cell phones as kids.

465
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,800

Speaker 2: had a cell phone?

491
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: I had a beeper in ninety five, so people mostly

492
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: people still had beepers, and it was.

493
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: Like the beeper arrow when I had a beeper sick.

494
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: I had a beeper because I couldn't afford the phone,

495
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: and so I would just get a beeper then borrow

496
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: someone's phone to call them. Yeah.

497
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: I had the beeper for a long time though, because

498
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: I also didn't like the phones are so big. I

499
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: still was just so into the idea because like rappers

500
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 1: would put like nine beepers on their waistband. Yeah, I

501
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: was just kind of like I had two. Like at

502
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: one point I had two beepers. One was a broken one,

503
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: but I just had to to just stunt on people

504
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: at the mall.

505
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: That's like, if you got a lot going on and

506
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: you want to look like Batman, you need like a

507
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,280

Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like she gets pages, right.

514
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the last place where they're still

515
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: used like in a regular way, right.

516
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 3: So it's I mean, yeah, so I think my wife

517
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: has like a work phone that is only like for

518
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: work calls that she knows that she's getting a call.

00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 2: On that it's it's within the hospital. Yeah, yeah, it's important.

520
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I get I guess beepers do make

521
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: sense like for that. So because dude, I was, I

522
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: was showing miles yesterday. I got nine spam calls yesterday,

523
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: like during the course of our recording phone calls. Yeah,

524
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: hour and a half nine spam phone calls. It's they

525
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 3: have made it completely fucking useless. Like if I was

526
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 3: a doctor, I'd be fucked or I'd be like getting

527

00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: You gotta like sanitize your hands all over again.

531
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: Got to be sure it's the same area code as

532
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: my hometown.

533
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: Makes me think maybe it's someone I know trying to

00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: call me from a new phone.

535
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: I got like the AD and T spam detection thing,

536
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: and like it's just taken off since then, and now

537
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: it never says scam likely.

538
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,560

Speaker 2: Uh? Laptops? Uh huh. I feel like we're finally at

541
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: the point now where you could just do everything on

542
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: your phone. And so when I see somebody like pull

543
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,399

00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: it could wait right later.

00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to make a big production of the fact

549
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,560

552
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: that before. Damn, it's not great.

00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 3: need a keyboard, like to really crank shit out.

555
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: I need. But you could also hook up like a

556
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: keyboard to a phone now that you can get like

557
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: a dunk. That is the wildest look though.

558
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: You You imagine you're taking the train and somebody just

559
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: takes their phone out and then a fucking keyboard and

560
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: they're like, right, let me just type this ship up

561
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: on my cellphone, and.

562
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: That's so much easier to carry than a whole laptop,

563
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: and just it's something about it just makes me just

564
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: drives me nuts. Because then because I see it all

565
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: the time, I see people pulling that laptops and doing

566
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: work somewhere where they're not supposed to. And I'm like, dude,

00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:05,959

573
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: dirty look if you're dragging a chair across because I'm

574
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: interrupting their work. This happened the other day. My son

575
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: was pushing a chair in a cafe and somebody gave

576
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: him a look because he was interrupting his flow. So

577
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: you're in a public place.

578
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: Photograb three chairs, my bad man, I'm expecting some people

579
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: man using this chair in front of you.

580
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 2: Actually, it wouldn't bother me so much if, like I

581
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: didn't see it all the time. You know. Yeah, it

582
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 2: just feels like you can't leave the house without somebody

583
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: making whatever space their office. You know. I take my

584
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: case of the library a lot again, just people just

585
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: post it up, making it their their workspace. And I'm like, you, guy,

586
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: it's not that important love that even.

587
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: Though it's a peaceful place to do your work.

588
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 2: We'll do that shit somewhere else, or just you know,

589
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: be better at time management. If your problem is that

590
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 2: you have to do work on the way that we're

591
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: like on the wages where you're going, maybe you should

592
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 2: have done woke up a little bit earlier. That's right.

593
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: They probably lift themselves up by their bootstraps and get

594
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: it together. Thank you.

595
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: Oh you're getting crushed by your job. I don't want

596
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: to see it in front of me, you know.

597
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: Uh, The article that I did fully write on my

598
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: phone was the January sixth article when I was when

599
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: I went to the Capitol building. Oh okay, I'll give you. Yeah,

600
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: I needed a file literally right then, and so I

601
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: just typed out everything as it happened to published it

602
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: in a couple hours.

603
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: And it was It read like one of Jeffrey Epstein's emails.

604
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: It was just like no capitalizations, stations scattered throughout.

605
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: Luckily you got a good editor.

606
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, we're gonna take a quick break,

607
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: then we're gonna come back and talk about some news.

608
00:28:52,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, and we're back. We're back.

609
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: And somebody told Trump about this affordability thing, this crisis.

610
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: It really must be hard for him, who has never

611
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: you know, to afford anything in his life, never had

612
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: any sort of lack in his life, and also doesn't

613
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: seem to be able to hear people who aren't billionaires

614
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: like you know, like fully take them in as humans. Yeah,

615
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 3: so this is probably news to him. Will some people

616
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: are like having trouble.

617
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, when you're that wealthy, you're all your wealth

618
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: is just like built on exploiting people's like labor. So

619
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: at that point you truly don't see them as people.

620
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, these are my fucking smurfs that I

621
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: squeezed dollars out of. What the fuck are they complaining about?

622
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Trump is having a summit or had

623
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: one already with McDonald's franchisees about affordability, and I guess like,

624
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: rather than like, I don't know, introducing like legislation that

625
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: would bar companies from profiting excessively, he'd rather just yell

626
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: at a bunch of McDonald's people about it.

627
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: But he lowered the prices like that was basically the right.

628
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, when for.

629
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: A day or something, do a sale.

630
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: When you read the comments, you're like, this feels like

631
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: somebody's leaning on you McDonald's. But so people, we've talked

632
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: about how he was going to go on a speaking

633
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: tour to address the affordability crisis and just not listen.

634
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, no, no, no, you will hear me.

635
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: You will hear me again, And he said he was

636
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: just going to go around not offering solutions, but merely

637
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: pointing to his past accomplishments to be like, how you

638
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: go say, I'm not doing anything for working people. I'm

639
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: doing no tax on tips no tax on overtime. Now,

640
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: don't look too deeply into that and see if that's

641
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,479
Speaker 1: actually beneficial to those people. But it sounds good and

642
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: that's what ideal in So yeah, he continued this, uh,

643
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: and they got the people who were asking about, like,

644
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: what's going to be going on the McDonald's Sumit it

645
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: says a key message at the mcdonald' summit will be

646
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: that value and affordability or quote so important to consumers

647
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: and elected officials that our franchisees and company are co

648
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: investing to bring extra value and affordability to our customers.

649
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, hold on.

650
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Affordability is so important to elected officials that franchisees are

651
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: investing their own This sounds like legislators like you need

652
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: to fucking help us, So whatever you need to do

653
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: to bring the fucking cost now, will help you do that.

654
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: Shit. Yeah, it's like we put money in your pocket.

655
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: Now it's time to make me look good.

656
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: Right, Like, this isn't because we've talked about i mean

657
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: over the like the last since we've been doing this show.

658
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: It's always been like how fucking expensive fast food is

659
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: getting to the point where it's not even some shit

660
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: where you're like, bro, I can't like I can eat

661
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: fast food for cheap at least now it's like I

662
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: gotta count the coins in my pocket before I go

663
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: to like McDonald's or some shit. Axios did report that

664
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: McDonald's is quote taking the rare step of footing part

665
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: of the bill for its new extra value meals to

666
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: win back cash strap.

667
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: So okay, and.

668
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 3: There's probably no quid pro quo where you know, the

669
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 3: FDA looks the other way as they like just call

670
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: it an extra pound of u sawdust to all of

671
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: their products.

672
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: Its sawdust.

673
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: But it just feels like, like, so the greed is

674
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: causing such bad optics for this administration. They're begging slash

675
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: coercing McDonald's into bringing prices down as a smoke screen,

676
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: because we have heard McDonald's be like, we are our

677
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: customers can't even afford our product, like that is being

678
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: talked about within the boardrooms. Now again that that means

679
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: are you willing to make less profits? Are you willing

680
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: to take that extreme step to make less money?

681
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: And I will say the McDonald's is franchise base, franchise

682
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: e like based, so you can put the pressure downwards.

683
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 3: So you're not asking billionaires to take a pay cut.

684
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: You're asking them to put pressure on the you know,

685
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: p people who own the individual outlets, right right, So

686
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: it's that that's a way of doing this that doesn't

687
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 3: require you to put pressure on corporate America in any way.

688
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: It's it's really beautiful. It's like a beautiful trick they've done.

689
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, this administration has been throwing out all kinds

690
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: of ideas how to bring prices down, and Trump has

691
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: even gone up, like gone back on being like Biden

692
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: started the high prices, but I will fix it. And

693
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: but now they're finding themselves and being like okay, so

694
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: how and they're like.

695
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: Ask them to lower the prices?

696
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you like Yon tried asking them.

697
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it requires them to do things that are antithetical

698
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: to their entire worldview, like so like don't write socialist

699
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: checks your capitalists ass can't cash.

700
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's what he's trying to do. Yeah,

701
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: you know this is going to work so beautiful, beautifully

702
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: for them. And that sort of drives me nuts because

703
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: I think for like the past, it's not like a

704
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: Republican or democ issue. I think like the way that

705
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: it's been working for the past ten like decade, is

706
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: that the top one percent. Berniey Senters has been talking

707
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: about this forever. The top one percent has been just

708
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: siphoning money from the middle class and the lower class

709
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 2: like crazy. And now like that all of the money

710
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: has already floated to the top, they're gonna trickle just

711
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: a little drop back down and they're gonna act like

712
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: they're actually doing something right. And the way that it's

713
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: been working in Trump world, where they're just desperate for anything,

714
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: any sign of life in the Trump administration, that they're

715
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: going to actually turn this into a win. And I

716
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: hate to say it, it's gonna work. And you know,

717
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: I saw a little bit of the video of him

718
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: like going up and like talking about it, and just

719
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: the laughs that he got in the room when he

720
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: was he was like, you know, I'm the first president

721
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 2: that have been elected who was formerly a fry cook

722
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 2: at McDonald's. I think the way that the room erupted

723
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: and laughter, I think tells you everything about how this

724
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: is that play.

725
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 3: Is that because he did that one photo op as

726
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 3: a fry.

727
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: Cook or no, he's just making fun of himself, and

728
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: I think people are just it's a party and everybody

729
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: it's like a big birthday celebration more than it is

730
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 2: any policy like movement. It's just gonna work out.

731
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: Life is just one long birthday party for him, you know.

732
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: And I think the way that he photoshopped like the

733
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: McDonald's double arches on top of the White House, are

734
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: they wasted they and they put grimace in a maga hat.

735
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: I think it's it's sort of the same pattern of

736
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: trying to create this idealized version of the success, trying

737
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 2: to show Trump as somebody who was actually solving problems.

738
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: As long as they can continue to manufacture that image,

739
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: their base is going to think of it as a success.

740
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: And we're not talking to them. They're not talking to

741
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: us anyways, and so there really is no room for

742
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: somebody to say, actually, is this actually going to do

743
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: make a difference. Now they're gonna be oh no, look,

744
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: Trump actually did lower the prices, He did what he

745
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: said he was gonna do. Well.

746
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: I think that's where they're trying to find the thing

747
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: where they're like, clearly the the you know, voted Trump

748
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: three times people are they don't need to be convinced.

749
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: It's like all the people they kind of siphoned off

750
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: in the presidential that they're like, ah, fuck, like we're

751
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: losing everybody too, because they would tell everybody else who

752
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: they think is gonna vote for.

753
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 2: A Democrat like just eat shit, we don't give a fuck.

754
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: But I think there is like that group because especially

755
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: with the number of like Latino voters who are now

756
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: just like the like the inversion of that coalition or

757
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: the lack of support.

758
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: Now they're like, uh, fuck, why what's their problem? What

759
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: are they meant about?

760
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, just the kidnappings? Should we just look

761
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: at this clip where he talks about we.

762
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: Should yeah, we should talk about the books he is

763
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 3: he does kind of have them eating out of his hands,

764
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: and then he does something that's like, I don't I

765
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 3: don't know what really happens here, but I just as

766
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 3: you know, not just as a politician, but as as

767
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: a person.

768
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: It's worth watching this as a person.

769
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 6: Doing honest, beautiful hard work and happy family sitting down

770
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 6: to a really great meal, because no matter who you are,

771
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 6: everyone loves some thing at McDonald's. It's always something to have.

772
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: I like the fish, I like it. What you could

773
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: do a.

774
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 6: Little bit more ta please, seriously, I hate when I said,

775
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 6: you have any do you understand that?

776
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: Yes, the fish, Okay, I like.

777
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 3: Fish, And he like pushes his hand down a little bit,

778
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 3: so all right. My first impression is it seems like

779
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: a clear attempt at a Homer Simpson audibly drooling, thing like.

780
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

781
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 7: Okay, But but he like doesn't. So he's just like,

782
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 7: what's but what's the hand doing? Because he's like, I

783
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 7: like the fish, And it looks like he's shifting in

784
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 7: the third gear. Maybe isn't he doing like a crunching

785
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 7: sound like.

786
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 2: Aulating that he's simulating the roof of his mouth coming

787
00:37:58,880 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 2: down on.

788
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: A Oh, he has a bit of an oral fixation.

789
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: It feels like the last year.

790
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is.

791
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: It's weird, like maybe he has something in his throat.

792
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 3: I don't want to bring that up that that has

793
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 3: nothing to do with anything that's happening elsewhere in the news.

794
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if he had something in his throat

795
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: it was a horse, Okay, I would be a new

796
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: fucking angle.

797
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: It was a fucking horse, all right. That he goes

798
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: I like the.

799
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: Fish makes me wonder if he just like doesn't know

800
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: where fish come from.

801
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 2: He's just like doing.

802
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: He's just like he thinks they're like created by a

803
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 3: robot or something.

804
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

805
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: He makes like a ninety degree angle with his either way,

806
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: that's what he's trying to do. He's getting them to

807
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: talk about anything, but whatever is happening right now? I

808
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: am curious, So like how quickly it? Like, so prices

809
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: will go down at McDonald's maybe for how long? Yeah,

810
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: but what about everywhere else? Because everybody also has bills

811
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: to put, like utility bills to pay, they have phone

812
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: bills to pay, They've got grocery costs that you know.

813
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: The one thing now, he's like like they're trying to

814
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: eliminate the tariffs on things like coffee and like tropical

815
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: fruit and certain things to just to give the illusion

816
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: like like, oh, some things are coming down, but I don't.

817
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: I think he also misunderstands that this is it. This

818
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: is a like a fucking all encompassing crisis of affordability.

819
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: It's not just McDonald's became too pricey, but.

820
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 3: Against your people, right, that's they the shit, right, we'll

821
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 3: go the same.

822
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 2: But that's him too. It's wages.

823
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the other thing too, And I think

824
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,959
Speaker 1: rather than doing addressing any of those things, it's easy

825
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: to be like, we're going to be cutting people of

826
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars checks, folks, just to be like, you know,

827
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: how about my wages go up?

828
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: How about my healthcare costs? To do something about them? No, No,

829
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: here's two thousand. That's you know, don't look into the

830
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: analysis of what happened in the lockdown. It did contribute

831
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: a bit to inflation, although did.

832
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 3: That were required in at a very high level from

833
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 3: like the C suite, And that's not what he's requiring

834
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 3: here here he's asking franchises to make less money, so

835
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 3: that you know, and franchisees are not like C suite millionaires.

836
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 3: There are people who own a single McDonald's franchise, or

837
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, a group.

838
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: Of McDonald if you've got multiple, if you've got a multiples,

839
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: I hope.

840
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean there's some there's some McDonald's franchise

841
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 3: e kingpins for sure.

842
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Out here.

843
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 3: And also he did tweet out that mega hat of

844
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: an image AI slop essentially of Grimace wearing a mega hat,

845
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 3: and then they immediately deleted. So I feel like McDonald's

846
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: was like whoa, whoa, whoa.

847
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're like don't, yeah, we don't. That makes

848
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: it even funnier.

849
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna Yeah, well, like the first one they

850
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: they they I think they vetoed the one where it

851
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: had a swastika armband on, and then.

852
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: Maybe like all this the a I thought that they've done.

853
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: There was a panic on the Trump side. We're like, oh,

854
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 2: that's too far, that's too far. Take that back. Yeah,

855
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: but that's all dripping poop on protesters in Chicago, right right.

856
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: What's also just funny to me is like that the

857
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: McDonald's has enough sway. They're like, hey, man, take that

858
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: ship down. And they're like sorry, sorry, yeah, sorry, I

859
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: guess we got to white nationalists dip on our chip there.

860
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, McDonald's. We will remove the post at once.

861
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: Let's talk real quick about the LAPD, who We've been

862
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 3: on a pretty steady. The police and human caging system

863
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 3: in America is inhumane, doesn't work to make people safer,

864
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 3: and it seems like the people in charge of running

865
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 3: that system might be catching onto that fact too crazy

866
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 3: because in LA we spend billions of dollars in tax

867
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: money to keep the LAPD and fast cars and new guns.

868
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: The finest guns we keep our police and the finest guns, and.

869
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 3: Tearing through the sky and helicopters. Nobody has really explained

870
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 3: the purpose of oh.

871
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Paying lawsuit settlements for their illegal behavior.

872
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 2: Us.

873
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: That's actually a huge burden on the city.

874
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 3: The helicopters. Man, I feel like we gotta. I feel

875
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: like we could. We could take over the golf courses.

876
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 3: If Mom Donnie can get elected, we can get rid

877
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 3: of the LAPD helicopters and take over the golf course

878
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 3: and LAPD helicopters. Like, don't once you just like take

879
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 3: a second to think about it, You're like, so that's

880
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: just for car chases, Like that's why the fun that

881
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 3: they need to be, why the sky need to be

882
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: constantly swarming with helicopters.

883
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 2: It's also also have they heard of drones? Right?

884
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: Oh, you know they have, yeah, budgets, Like we need

885
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: just a few of those. But also I'm I'm sure

886
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: they're like, but we also need the helicopters so we

887
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: can just keep a low grade stress, like just a

888
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: nice low grade stress for low income area. You're being watched, Yeah,

889
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: just buzzing down through neighborhoods, to keep them alive.

890
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: You know, you're gonna keep them awake that you know

891
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 2: they have multiple purposes.

892
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 3: So on the question of what the money is being

893
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 3: spent on and how it's working, the LAPD is just like,

894
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 3: we're not telling just trust us. It's for your own good.

895
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 3: That's essentially what they've done.

896
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: They've gone with, right, because we used to have a

897
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: crime map that you could look at at any time

898
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: that was basically like here's the crime data website. You

899
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: can go look to your neighborhood. You can just see

900
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: there's records of like locations of crimes, the use of force,

901
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: number of other like all kinds of data, just like

902
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: what the cops are up to. And it was somewhat

903
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: trained by law.

904
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 3: Right, there's a law, the public transparency law that for

905
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: years the LAPD has had to maintain records to improve

906
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: inspection and accountability. And then abruptly this year they were like, heh,

907
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 3: you actually can't see it. And when asked why, they

908
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: said that the information quote has the potential to lead

909
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 3: to misguided public policy discussions or unjustified public panic, which

910
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 3: I believe the first one is their concern that they're like, oh, man,

911
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 3: you guys are gonna cut our funding if you know

912
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 3: what's actually going on, but the idea that it would

913
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 3: lead to public panic. They love some statistics that make

914
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 3: them look like they are necessary and make their job

915
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 3: look dangerous and make it look like they're having to

916
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: fight things and crimes out of control. They when there's

917
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: when there's a crime, they're the first ones to tell

918
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 3: you about that. So I have to assume at this

919
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 3: time of like rapidly dropping violent crime across American cities,

920
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 3: that their their problem is not we don't want to

921
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: show you guys, because you can.

922
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 2: Be too scared. You can be too scared, you're gonna

923
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 2: make you're gonna need us too much. We don't want

924
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 2: you to see how much everyone is so dumb man,

925
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: They think everyone is as dumb as them.

926
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: It's so patronizing to be like, oh, you guys, won't

927
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: even wrap your head around this data that shows we're

928
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: doing fuck all and wasting money, because then you're gonna

929
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: you don't even want and you're gonna fucking panic or

930
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: some ship, dude, because it sounds like you. That data

931
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: is going to be so incriminating in terms of the

932
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: just just total waste of money that we pay these

933
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: people who most of them don't even live in the

934
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: fucking city. They're out of towners who come in and

935
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: just fucking bad up the actual people who live in

936
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: the city. Yeah, right now, there's a lot of back

937
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: and forth trying to get this information out. The mayor's

938
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: office has not even returned to Andy, hasn't given any

939
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: kind of comment on this, because, yeah, how are you

940
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna defend this, Like you don't want to be transparent

941
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: with the data about what you're up to, then then

942
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: tell your story if you if you're if you're so

943
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: concerned about what the what people are gonna get from

944
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: this data, then why don't you release it and you

945
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: give whatever your analysis is and then allow people to

946
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: look through the raw data themselves.

947
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: That's all.

948
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 3: It's like a kid just being like, what, I gotta

949
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,560

00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 3: you promise you're not gonna be mad at me? Then

952
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: I'm not telling you.

953
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 2: You're gonna get mad? Well, did you do something bad?

954
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: I don't know we're gonna get mad? Are you gonna

955
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 2: be mad?

956
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 3: I don't I mean, I'm protecting you from this information

00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 2: where they were just like, wait, why are we even

963
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 2: giving this to people on the why so they could

964
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: be mad at us? This is so dumb. I'm sure

965
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: some poor, low level person have to go on the

966
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: website and scrub.

967
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: It right, or I'm sure some some person who's in

968
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: charge of that was like whatever, you just always posted,

969
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, just just.

970
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: Don't fucking post this one. Don't fucking post this one.

971
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: They're like what what what It's just like, oh, no.

972
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 3: If we didn't ye, no, no, there's a law, but

973
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 3: what if there wasn't. Yeah there is who's gonna enforce

974
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: the law?

975
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: Where the police? Yeah, exactly one hundred per cent?

976
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean like because also, like in twenty fifteen,

977
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: the LA Times like they, you know, did an investigation

978
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: show that they were doing the LAPD was involved in

979
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of misclassification errors that were artificially lowering the

980
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: city's crime levels.

981
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 2: Hmm.

982
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: So we're just messy. We're just messy guys. We're you know,

983
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 3: we're like loose cannons.

984
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: You know.

985
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 3: Did you ever see Rigs or John McClain doing fucking paperwork?

986
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: Hell no, dudell, No, they hated it, beating the ship

987
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: out of people.

988
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 2: Happy though, look at the numbers this lower.

989
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think the I think the biggest

990
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: thing is really for people to understand how much tax

991
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: revenue like La County generates, or even just even at

992
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: least city does, and you look at the services we have,

993
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: and then you just look at how much of that

994
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: money goes to police overtime and settling these lawsuits for

995
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: their fucking actions of impropriety. To put it lightly, Yeah,

996
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: it's it would it's my numbing. And people are like, damn,

997
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 1: why do the streets look like this? I'm like, because

998
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: a lapd.

999
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 3: Right, you say, why why does the streets look like this?

1000
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 3: As a helicopter flies over your head, It's like, it's

1001
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 3: a shame of mine.

1002
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 6: Man.

1003
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 2: It drives me nuts because in New York we're having

1004
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 2: this whole news cycle discussion about what Zoron means when

1005
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 2: he meant when he said defund the police like ten

1006
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: years ago, and it's so easy for people to just

1007
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: explain it. Right, It's simple. You take some of the

1008
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 2: budget that's like that's being wasted, that's actually not being

1009
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 2: used for good police work, and you spend it on

1010
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 2: services so that the police aren't being overwhelmed with non

1011
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 2: stop calls for every little thing. It just makes sense

1012
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: when you when you hear it said out loud. But

1013
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 2: then it doesn't even matter. You take what you're saying is, oh,

1014
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: so you want crime or are you pro crime? Then

1015
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: oh yeah, you want people to kill you? Yes, look

1016
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: at me, dude, I'm pro crime. Look at me.

1017
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: I've lost my mind and I'm pro crime. And my

1018
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: wife pant they get fucking robbed every time I leave

1019
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 1: the house. That's my dream, right, because that's a reasonable

1020
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: person says no, Like to your point, it's like, we

1021
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: take all the money they fucking waste, Like we're only

1022
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: spending four thousand dollars a minute on helicopters and putting

1023
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: that into the social safety net programs that like to

1024
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: your point, you know, lead to actually.

1025
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 2: Less ride And because we live in a democracy, and

1026
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 2: all hinges on whether or not this group and that

1027
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 2: group can have a conversation, and it just we so

1028
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 2: clearly can't control All of our policies are being based

1029
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: off of what slogan sounds better and how much a

1030
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: happy meal will now cost.

1031
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: I mean, like I wonder if there even is a

1032
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: way to tell these cops like, look, guys, y'all are

1033
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: making a lot of money, all right, we're gonna take

1034
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: a little we're taking some money away, okay, and you

1035
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: still get to drive your gigantic truck.

1036
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be nice to like not respond to everything?

1037
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, right right, It's like, but we got to work

1038
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,479
Speaker 1: this out, baby. This ain't this isn't just some shit

1039
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: that you can just bleed the city dry with all

1040
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: your fucking overtime shit.

1041
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 3: You talk to the cops and like a lot of

1042
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 3: them are like, yeah, I don't like that there are

1043
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 3: no mental health resources in the city.

1044
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 2: That's bad for us. The cop. Yeah, even then everything

1045
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 2: with a with a cop, you can just throw a

1046
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 2: cop and expect to work out.

1047
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 3: According to Joe Biden gave that speech, it's like, what

1048
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 3: you want to defund the police? The police are psychiatrists.

1049
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: There are doctors, our lovers, there are lots didn't want

1050
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: to ask corn Pop if he knows who Buppa is,

1051
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: that's a great question. We need you need to find out.

1052
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: I don't even think.

Speaker 1: some random black duty shook hands with like seventy years

1056
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: ago and corn Pop was a bad guy.

1057
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 2: Okay, sir, how did you fat what files? He never has?

1058
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 3: Has that been searched? That's your job as a journalist

1059
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 3: to tell us.

1060
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta google this.

1061
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,

1062
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 3: and we're back. We're back, and let's talk about first

1063
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 3: of all, why Nicki Minaj is addressing the UN addressed

1064
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 3: the UN yesterday. Her involvement was arranged by the Trump administration.

1065
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: She tweeted, couldn't address the UN just off the strength

1066
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: of her and the Barbs.

1067
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 3: I know I would think so, but the writing and

1068
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 3: a post ambassador. I'm so grateful to be entrusted with

1069
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 3: an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it

1070
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 3: for granted. Means more than you know, the Barbes and

1071
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 3: I will never stand down in the face of injustice.

1072
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 3: We've been given our influenced by God. There must be

1073
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 3: a bigger purpose. Trump media advisor Alex bruce Witz, who's

1074
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: also expected to speak at the event, and this was

1075
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 3: to highlight claims of Christian persecution in Nigeria, which, first

1076
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: of all, I do just want to say. Now we've

1077
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 3: got two of the three people on Monster now fully

1078
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 3: aligned with the right. Only Jay Z's our last holdout.

1079
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 3: I mean he's I say he was low key, you know,

1080
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 3: as a billionaire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he's part of

1081
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 3: that set. But yeah he's not. He hasn't open. He

1082
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 3: doesn't fully become a part of the Trump administration.

1083
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 2: Could you imagine?

1084
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: Like and he has who better than Sean Carter as

1085
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: my liaison for Housing and Urban Development?

1086
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: He said, the streets is watching, and he knew it's

1087
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 2: kind of it's kind of nice when people like this

1088
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 2: get involved and they do, like want to take a position.

1089
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 2: I think it's really cool. It's just NICKI minajal people.

1090
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 2: I can't. I don't think I ever got over when

1091
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: she talked about how the COVID vaccine will make your

1092
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: testicle swollen. Yeah, cousin and their cousin. Yeah, they pulled

1093
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 2: off because they took up the COVID vaccine. It's like, yeah,

1094
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 2: it's it's good. We should want people to to like

1095
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 2: take stances and be political, you know, volved. Yeah, but

1096
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 2: don't on the line.

1097
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, don't get charged up off of Bill mahersh segment.

1098
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is what happened. This is what happened.

1099
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 3: Earlier this month, she praised Trump for threatening military action

1100
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 3: against Nigeria over this slaughter of Christians.

1101
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 2: Trump had air quotes for slaughter.

1102
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 3: I think it's important to yeah, yeah, over the quote

1103
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 3: unquote a latter of Christians. He ordered the military to

1104
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 3: prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islami's militant groups

1105
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 3: because the government is failing to protect Christians and promise

1106
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 3: to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria is not going

1107
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 3: to be happy about. He always does shit like that,

1108
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 3: like he's flirting, and you know, obviously he doesn't give

1109
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 3: a fuck about Nigerians. But this gives conservatives an excuse

1110
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 3: to paint Christians as the real victims in our world.

1111
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 3: They're so warny to be like persecuted, you know. And

1112
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, he similarly stated the government, the government

1113
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 3: of Nigeria was not doing enough to protect the safety

1114
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 3: of Nigerians, especially Christians, and there's been like Ted Kruz

1115
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 3: has recently come out and been like fifty thou Christians

1116
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 3: have been killed since two thousand and nine by armed

1117
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 3: Islamist groups in Nigeria. Of course, he did not cite

1118
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 3: sources for the information, and we think like that this

1119
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 3: really got going a week before Cruz's tweet because Bill

1120
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 3: Maher on his show is this what the fuck's is

1121
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 3: still the Real Time or whatever the fuck? I don't know,

1122
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 3: real time, real talk, real whatever the fuck racist self

1123
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 3: hating loser show on he used his HBO show to

1124
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 3: claim that Islamists spoke Oharam are systematically killing the Christians

1125
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 3: in Nigeria.

1126
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 2: Okay, this is new role.

1127
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 3: This is so much more of a genocide attempt than

1128
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 3: what is going on in Gaza. They're literally attempting to

1129
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 3: wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. His sources,

1130
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 3: according to people who are actual journalists, say that it's

1131
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 3: largely fabricated claims and manip images from unverified outlets. But

1132
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 3: of course that segment was later picked up by Fox News,

1133
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 3: which is how it gets to Trump and Ted Cruz,

1134
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 3: which is how it then gets to Nicki minaj.

1135
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: Wonderful love that love that pipeline, the Bill Maher to

1136
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj un pipeline really really impressive, And I mean,

1137
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: god do people don't people know Bill Maher, Like, I

1138
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: don't even know how the fuck he's still on HBO.

1139
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 1: This guy has such a sordid record of Islamophobic bullshit

1140
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: that he says on his show for fucking decades. Yes

1141
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: that anytime he mentions anything outside of him wanting to

1142
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: have sex with like video vixens from the like two thousands,

1143
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm like.

1144
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 2: Bro, this this is some fucking bullshit. This is some lie.

1145
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And just to just to think that it goes

1146
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: from there to now that this whole sort of narrative

1147
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: that they're really trying to get going of, like, let's

1148
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: we honestly we need to protect Christians everywhere, and maybe

1149
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: that's a justification for increased militarism around the world. I

1150
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe or just just to change the optic

1151
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: a bit.

1152
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, turned it into a religious war. Things should be

1153
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 2: what they're going for. Yeah, they want to be able

1154
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 2: to like clap back at the accusations of the side. Yeah, exactly.

1155
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 3: This is Yeah, he dropped that report around the time

1156
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 3: that Nigeria support voice support for a two state solution

1157
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,919
Speaker 3: to the Palestinian conflict at conflict at the twenty twenty

1158
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 3: five u in General Assembly. So he went and like

1159
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,240
Speaker 3: cherry picked fake sources from across the internet and then

1160
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 3: you know, put together a segment basically being like, oh, interesting,

1161
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 3: that's rich coming from you Nigeria.

1162
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 2: Right.

1163
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: Well, they're also using the shorthand Islamist group means the

1164
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: crusades against Christian people. It's like, do you know anything

1165
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: about Boko Haram, Yeah, they just read about it.

1166
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 3: Boko Haram has positioned itself against the Nigerian state as

1167
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 3: an apostate entity, not against any single religious group. There's

1168
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 3: no one motive behind the attacks. And not only is

1169
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 3: it not a genocide against Christians, but the majority of

1170
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 3: victim of armed group, of the armed group are Muslims.

1171
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: It's sad man. No. Bokharm is a real problem. And

1172
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 2: it's like one of many of these kinds of paramilitary

1173
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 2: groups that feed off of young kids and they go

1174
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 2: into these places, they kidnap the kids and they raise

1175
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 2: them up to be fighters and it's and it's just

1176
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 2: really sad that this only comes up in the context of, oh, well,

1177
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 2: you thought that what we were doing was bat how

1178
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 2: come I don't hear you talking about this? And the

1179
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 2: same thing goes for what's happening in Sudan. Man, it's devastating.

1180
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 2: It's devastating if you're keeping up with what's happening over there.

1181
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 2: But I only ever see it being talked about online

1182
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 2: in the context of like, oh well, how come you're

1183
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 2: not protesting your goods loose?

1184
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I just need I only find out about this

1185
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 3: stuff when it's brought up by a major pop diva.

1186
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 2: I need I need that.

1187
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, with questionable marital choices, Yeah, yeah.

1188
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 2: I need a Lady guy got Away in on Sudan.

1189
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm sitting I'm sitting on my keep my powder dry

1190
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: till Lady got and Olivia Rodrigo.

1191
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 2: Olivia Rodrigo would be very interested to hear what she

1192
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 2: has to say. I mean, she's younger.

1193
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: I feel like she probably has something to say. I

1194
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: feel like the younger ones.

1195
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 2: Definitely what a Suprina Carpenter said about that.

1196
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 3: Serena Carpenter would be also interesting. I think she probably

1197
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 3: prefers to get stay uninvolved. I just for some reason,

1198
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 3: I can't not picture her as young Hillary Clinton anymore.

1199
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 3: I saw that side by side, I was just like, damn.

1200
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I haven't seen that yet. I'm gonna look at it.

1201
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 3: You know what, Miles, I'm gonna stick with my original

1202
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 3: stance because one of the things for sure is that

1203
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 3: absently and without uh information, accusing pop divas of things

1204
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 3: never backfires on the internet. Yeah, Taylor Swift fans are

1205
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 3: pretty cool and reasonable and don't don't get mad if

1206

1287
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 3: worst part of being a good listener is that people

1288
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 3: get creeped out by the information I've retained about them

1289
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 3: just from listening. You ever had that where you're like, oh, yeah,

1290
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 3: you were in Texas like last year, and they're like, wow,

1291
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 3: good memory, but like they get kind of freaked out

1292
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 3: or like I feel like it's like a competit where

1293
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 3: they're like, fuck.

1294
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,840

Speaker 2: you know I have I have a memory like that.

1296
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: It helps definitely in like business settings because they're like, yeah.

1297
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 2: God, and you are my business man.

Speaker 2: So I was enjoying that. I was enjoying. Uh.

Speaker 3: I wasn't with Epstein all the time at all and

1303
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 3: I hate you unemployed flop. Andrew Cuomo retweeted that and

1304
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 3: said Tim Robinson as syntax, oh my god, all the.

1305
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 2: Time at all, all the time at all?

1306
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 3: Wow, and then no context Humans tweeted a video with

1307
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 3: the tagline It's the simple things. It's just these kids

1308
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 3: throwing an apple. They're like around a light pole that

1309
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:06,919

01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: like fucking you know up there, And I think I've

1333
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: just realized too, because I listened to all kinds of

1334
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 1: music like I'll listen to a lot of electronic music

1335
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: and then you kind of need to hear people playing

1336
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: instruments and really just like kind of singing and shit.

1337

1341
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: yourself with a new genre of music that maybe you

1342
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: don't listen to as much.

1343
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:39,560
