<v Speaker 2>shit about craft these days, and so they don't even

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:23.959

<v Speaker 2>the towers. It's so hard. God, which way do I

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 2>go with this? I have a thousand photos of my

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>dad doing exactly this, just like just getting bundled pretending

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 2>to be a ship. Oh really, Lawrence of Arabia style. Yeah, yeah,

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 2>it's a good look. There's like a really amazing school

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 2>for religious scholars in Egypt. It's called Azad University, and

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>my dad took like a class there for a day

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>and ever since then he's like, yeah, I've been to Asha.

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh yep, yeah, he'll do this. He'll just do this,

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>throw it over his head, funny. Yeah, he's a funny guy.

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh he's hilarious. I didn't really so. I thought he

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>was always just kind of mean and like, you know,

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of dads just keeps kids at arms distance. Yeah.

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize until after I wrote my memoir and

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like asking him questions that he was actually

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.559
<v Speaker 2>a comedian, comedic genius. He's actually really really really funny.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 2>He was chilling, stand up. Oh my god. He told

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>me this one story. So I sat down and I

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>was interviewing him for the book, and I was asking

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>him how he why doesn't have any hair beneath his

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>neckline at all? So look straight from here down nothing nothing,

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 2>no arm hair, no leg hair, all the way down.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 3>Probably not a question you want to ask your dad.

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll answer it. I mean, like he's been dipped. Leave

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>that curiosity aside. Really, that's what he was gonna say,

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what he said. He said, you know, I

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>come from a part of Egypt where we celebrate the

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>first born son by dipping them in milk when they're born.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, wow, it's really fascinating. I'm taking

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>notes and writing it down. I wrote it into the chapter,

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>and then when I was reading it out loud to

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>my brother for a fact check, he was like, that

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>doesn't sound right, sought my dad. He was at all.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>It was like, I've never heard that before. The milk

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>was this and my dad starts cracking up and he

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, you believe that. He's like milk you think

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>we just have milk like that where we could just

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>like dip babies.

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 3>In there and then we'll throw it out. I was like, good, okay, yeah,

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 3>He's like, you didn't know that. My interview style was

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 3>two truths and a lie. Every every paragraph I did

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>a lie in there. Oh, you're the fun with my

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 3>bad bro. You know you know I'm not your dad, right,

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 3>it's gone too long. He's gone too But he gave

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 3>me so many stories like that.

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 2>You know. He told me another story about how when

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.079
<v Speaker 2>he got married he was having a taxi cab in

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>the city in the seventies, that's when he got married.

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>He told his wife, my mom, that he would take

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 2>her to a nice Italian dinner, and so they got

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>in the cab. They drove up to Joe's Pizza on

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Fifth Ave and it's literally just a big pizza oven

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>in the window. And I don't know if it's real

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>or not, because I don't I don't know if he's

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>just made fun of me or not. Likes to believe that.

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:47.120

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.160

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's a Marlborough Do you think.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Marlborough Marlborough light would be a diet coke? I think

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I think that's what the type.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 4>Of person I mean it strikes me as a parliament

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 4>a parliament is, I think, well, I think those are

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 4>all in the same range of cigarette. It's like the

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 4>cigarette for people who are like, oh, I don't smoke,

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.280
<v Speaker 4>but them bump cigarettes right right.

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, because parliaments to me were like the cigaret the

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>first cigarette all the white girls in my high school smoked.

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>And then when they're like, oh, you could do drugs

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>out the recessed filter, I was like, yeah, this is

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>this is this is for me. Yeah yeah, No, would

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a black and mild be like a Doctor Pepper black

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and mile see that's mhmm.

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's one that's only a mixer, you know, like

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 3>whichever soda is like bet does a mixer because it

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 3>isn't black and mild like you use.

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean you can't. I mean I usually you want

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to use around cigarettes. Maybe that's just a coke heavy

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>But people do take out the inner paper inside the

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>black and miles, so it hits a little bit less harsh.

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>So it is in a way, it's like you wouldn't

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>just hit it straight out the fucking pack like that

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>unless you've got some lungs.

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, Anyways, we've done our due over this cigarette industry.

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, they.

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.440

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 3>You know that would be just so because anyone asked,

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.319
<v Speaker 3>is anyone Bubble?

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this is a time.

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is a time for every person

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>named Bubba to be like, just so you know, bro,

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>got nothing to do with me. It's not Bubba Wallace,

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not Bubba Sparks. It's not Bubba Smith from Police Academy,

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>even though he passed away man years ago.

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 3>The timing probably doesn't work out for it to be

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Bubba Gump, Bubba from Forrest Gump. Yeah, because I think

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.719
<v Speaker 3>he passed away and he you know, they would have

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 3>met in the Wars Trump hadn't dodged the draft.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh you mean you mean the actual Bubble actor Michael Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm just saying I don't know. I don't know

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Sark Bubba Wallace Michael T. Williams is sixty eight years

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 2>old now, the guy who played Bubba. That's so I mean,

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess that.

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a dismissive asshole like Mark Epstein would

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 3>probably refer to him as Bubba.

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you never know.

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's let's leave no lee unturned here, because he is.

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 3>He is approaching this like a bridge troll in a riddle,

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 3>being like, I cannot tell you who it is.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you who it is not. Oh, okay,

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>like your dad when he's being interviewed.

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 3>One of us can only tell the truth, one of

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 3>us can only tell lies.

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>You have three questions. Hey, man, it's great, it's great

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>to have you back. How have you been. Oh man,

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling pretty good. Feeling pretty good, getting a lot

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>of writing done, getting a lot of pieces done. I

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>spent some time at the UVU campus where Charlie Kirk

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 2>made his last debate. Got to learn some things from

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>talking to those kids directly. Yeah, man, it's been good.

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 2>It's been good. How are you guys? Yeah? Wait, is

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 2>that a piecer working on right now? Or do that?

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Is that something you wrote already? It published? Yeah? Oh

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 2>it did? I have to check that out. I was

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 2>just reading.

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I was reading a lot of your coverage about Zoran's election,

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>like in the build up and aftermath, but I missed

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:55.079
<v Speaker 1>that kirkpiece.

0:10:55.600 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh dude, I'm I'm so excited about Zoron already, like

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>woking up in a whole new America? Does it?

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it definitely gave everybody the just a light

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>air of positivity. Although now we're like, okay, so how

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>are the billionaires They're they're all now scheming to be

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>like how do we make this not or do anything?

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 2>You're like, yeah, you know what? It felt like. It

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>felt like that moment in Syria when Lasholotte, I said,

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 2>finally got deposed and then all the prisons are being released,

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and everything was just opening up, and people were coming

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>back to Syria for the first time and forever. That's

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>what this feels like. If we finally saw democracy do

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 2>what it was supposed to do. It wasn't just like

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 2>some somebody cheating or some election fraud something. It just

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 2>felt like more than fifty it worked. His campaigning worked

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>right right, And I feel like we haven't seen that

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:48.559
<v Speaker 2>in a while.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 3>No, no, not almost, Like I mean the local race.

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's it's usually at the like city,

0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>state level where you're going to see that kind of

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>like big de democracy kind of stuff really go down.

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Once you get to the federal level, it's just it's

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 2>just money games.

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes we can, he may. I mean, we're gonna get

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 3>to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 3>talking about.

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna talk.

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 3>About what Donald Trump is up to with his affordability tour,

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 3>his McDonald's franchise e speech that had a weird speaking

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 3>of police academy had a weird like little Michael Winslow

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 3>moment where it was like, well, yeah, did he did

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 3>he just start. Should he turn into a walkie talkie there.

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 3>I have a theory on what he was going for.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to talk about that. We'll talk about his

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 3>plan for getting people distracted from the epsteam files, which

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 3>is a bribe. You know, Just which of all the

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 3>policies like this, you know, I'll take that, send some

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 3>money directly to people. Yeah, that's never been a bad thing.

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 2>Now will it solve everything? I don't know about that,

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 2>But go ahead, we're square.

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Stop asking about the right just I don't want to

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 3>hear it ever again. Okay, you can take the car.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to hear about it anymore.

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's like that, only take it. If you're done

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about Epsteine.

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about that LAPD who are continuing to protect

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 3>us hell yeah, from magaard statistics, how they are at

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 3>their job work, most most obviously guilty Ship. I've seen

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 3>the LAPD do pretty well because they are on some

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 3>always on some like guilty Ship. But this is pretty bad.

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 3>And then we'll talk about so Nicki Minaj is addressing

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 3>the u N today and it all starts with Bill

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Maher being full of ship, and we'll we'll talk about

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 3>how that train of misinformation happened around the subject of

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Nigeria and you know, a right wing plot to fabricate

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 3>the idea that, oh you think you think Israel is

0:13:55.040 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 3>committing genocide. Actually it's Nigerians are doing Christian Christians. So

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 3>all of that plenty more.

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 2>It's sad, man, it is.

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, Bill Maher, this amazing what you can

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.319
<v Speaker 1>do in your an islamophobe with an HBO show.

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 2>You can act the business of the at the U

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 2>n right, all that plenty more.

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 3>But first, aman, we do like to ask our guests,

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 3>what is something from your search history that's revealing about

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 3>who you are?

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this morning it was like big News and my

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 2>circle of friends that the Legends of Held movie that

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 2>we're finally getting to our first looks. Oh really, I'm

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 2>a big zelder NERD. I played all those games to death.

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the only game I could really play. I'm a

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 2>big dungeon freak. And yeah, me and my circle of

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 2>friends we love that ship. And so yeah, there's like

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 2>the first freak.

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 3>It sounds so much nastier than what it is.

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my whole vocabulary when I say D and D,

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>people are really going to be looking for my name

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>in the files.

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so first looks, I'm looking at something that looks

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 3>like the Peter Jackson Lord.

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Of the Rings.

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's pretty much it. Yeah yeah, well feel pretty exciting.

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 3>So ship that is like the Hollywood's promise to New

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Zealand that we will boost your tourism industry once once

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 3>every decade. It feels like what we're seeing here.

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 2>That's cool.

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 3>It's it's live action. You know, that's that'll be interesting.

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>They said, oh wow, they're describing it west. The director

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 1>said they're aiming for something quote akin to a live

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 1>action Miyazaki, which.

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay, there's a lot of opportunities. No, but you know,

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 2>we the vibrations we're going to copy. I think I

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>used to hate like video game adaptations, and then I

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 2>saw that movie Uncharted with Tom Holland and I was actually,

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 2>just this feels like a meal. Like this feels like

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 2>a whole meal. I really enjoyed that one. Are you

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 2>want to like Super Mario and stuff? I was like, well, yeah,

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean I get like the An made it version.

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>They're just trying to keep it like to very video

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>gaming kind of stuff because it wasn't the John Liguizamo

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Bob Hoskins live action Mario Brothers we got in the nineties.

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 2>But are so good? Are the fans? How are they?

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Because obviously, I mean I feel like Nintendo fans are

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 1>less toxic than like console or PC gaming fans are.

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Is the Are there are people enthusiastic about this casting?

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Pretty okay. I think everybody. They didn't want it

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to be like some big name celebrity where they were

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 2>going to just try to force it like they did.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, because they continuously do. How are they going

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 3>to get Chris Pratt to do the voice though? Is

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 3>he just overdubbing them like in vo afterwards? All Right,

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna give you those directors me and then i'm

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 3>gonna give you the directors filmography, and you're gonna do

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 3>a bit of a Brittany Brosky face miles where it's like,

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 3>all right, yes, the kombucha face. So he is best

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 3>known for directing the Maze Runner film trilogy, but then

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.119
<v Speaker 3>he made the Fourth Kingdom of the Planet fifth or

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Fourth Planet of the Apes reboot Kingdom of the Planet

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 3>of the Apes, which I've heard is like interesting at

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:16.439
<v Speaker 3>least and sorry, Yeah, I.

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Don't look, bro, I don't do whatever the fuck you're

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. You never know, because I know the directing

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.399
<v Speaker 1>movies is you might make a whole bunch of shitty

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.640
<v Speaker 1>ones and then suddenly make a good one. So off

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 1>of this and Aiman's excitement, I'm gonna go ahead and

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say really positive about this.

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I do really like po I do like the No

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 2>Name performers. So it's a perfect pairing, man, if you

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.119
<v Speaker 2>think about it. Because all the monsters in Zelda are

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 2>like non humanoid, They're they're like pig ape right thing creatures,

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and so it actually kind of makes sense that actually

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 2>makes me more excited they hat to be.

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm just waiting for when they're gonna because i know

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>right now they say this woman Bo Braggison is playing Zelda.

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 2>But I know, but they're gonna put Sidney Sweeney in

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.919
<v Speaker 2>that world eventually. Oh god. Yeah. And you know what,

0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:58.679
<v Speaker 2>you know what else it is, I haven't been excited

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 2>about anything, uh like, in movies for so long, and

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 2>so I'm just really allowing myself kind of forcing myself

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 2>to be really excited about this one.

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I love that may not be a disappointment made really

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:10.919
<v Speaker 1>hyped over a movie.

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty psyched about one battle after another.

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I was really psyched over weapons, and I never saw

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it still weapons.

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Weapons, I know. I was just like I remember seeing

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 2>the trailer.

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yo, this ship fucking goes and then cut

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to like, you know, life lifing. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but I'm glad.

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Also, it seems like it's aimed at theaters, right, Like

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 3>there's gonna be a theatrical release. They're not just going

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 3>to be like now on Amazon Prime.

<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, okay, that's good, that's good. No, no, no,

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I think I heard.

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 3>I was really excited about the uh Miss Piggy movie.

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I heard that it's going to be a streaming thing,

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 3>which is crazy, like you need to put that on

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.159
<v Speaker 3>on out in theater.

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.640

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 3>all right? And man, what is what's something you think

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 3>is underrated?

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Mm? Underrated? I'm going to say, Tom Gotchi's They're back.

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 2>They're back. Yeah, I just bought one. I'm going to

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.680
<v Speaker 2>give them to my wife. I'm really excited. Do you

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>remember do you know what to do? You know what

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about?

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the little uh how about partridges with a little

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>screen on it and you give it food and you

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 2>clean up its poot and you see them get bigger

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.439
<v Speaker 2>and they laugh and they cry and they're just so

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 2>happy and you can't neglect them to the point that

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.200
<v Speaker 2>they could die. Yeah, they could die.

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they die? Do they die forever? That that's

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 3>a question that my seven year old asked me about

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 3>people recently.

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember that. That'd be that'd be crazy if

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>you have to, like I think, like the throat away,

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:11.280
<v Speaker 2>if it dies, that'd be crazy.

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.679
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the original Japanese version probably would have

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.479
<v Speaker 1>been like, yeah, bro, it's gone. And then if our

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>American consumers are like you got maybe just take the

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 1>battery out and put it back in.

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh they respawn, thank you can respawn.

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Jesus, Well that's a little scary. Actually yeah, yeah, all right,

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 3>yeah this this totally missed me.

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, because you were what your four year Yeah,

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you would have been like driving, like a driving high schooler.

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.879
<v Speaker 2>By the time this, Yeah, really hit fever pitch for me, Like,

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.639
<v Speaker 2>how old are you? In my fifties? Yeah, dude, that

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.640
<v Speaker 2>looks good on you. You still have all your hair.

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm forty years older than months.

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 1>He's thirty two, bro, No, no, no, forty four. Yeah,

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you'll be forty five. Shit, I'm forty one.

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Ah, God damn the old as fuck. So you are

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 3>you seeing that, like is it coming back in the

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 3>sense so you can get one on eBay? Or you're

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 3>seeing this as a trend.

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.800
<v Speaker 2>They have like a whole new line of them, and

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, but yeah, so I think it's just kind

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>of like a fun little toy that you could just

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 2>keep in your pocket and then every once in a

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 2>while it rings and you can pull it out and

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 2>you can play with it, and it's something that's not

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 2>your phone. I think that's like the bigger draw exactly.

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 2>That's not an app something that's not you know, because

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I feel like so much of my life and my

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.360
<v Speaker 2>wife's life and everything is just going from like big

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 2>screen to little screen in the back to the big screen,

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the back to the little screen. Yeah, and life has gotten

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 2>so repetitive with having kids. I mean, dude, I love

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 2>having kids. I like being a dad, but we end

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.119
<v Speaker 2>up doing the same things over and over again, and

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the days are really running away from us. So I

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do something different for this year's holidays and

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:48.880
<v Speaker 2>year holidays, which it's funny because we're mostlim we don't

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 2>even do that stuff. But I still wanted to get

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 2>her a gift so that she wouldn't feel left out.

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 2>And there I was looking around, and I just like,

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:56.679
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to get her like a gadget, something that

0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 2>was small, But she's not really the gadget. She doesn't

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 2>want like a watch or anything like that.

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she kind of likes things that are like not

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:04.199
<v Speaker 1>a dummy, like a dumb phone, you know.

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So I was like looking at that, and I was like, yo,

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 2>she really used to like that stuff back in the days.

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I remember I used to like that stuff too. Let

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 2>me just get home one nice I.

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Can't wait next time you're on, we need to get

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 3>the report, because my my gut would be the having

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 3>kids and then having a thing that replicates having kids.

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Would like I didn't even know one.

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 3>To feed one of them, and I can't remember which

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 3>one it is.

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 1>This one's got clients coming off of it. It's funny

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>though too that like I mean, you bring it up

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>because like when this ship was popping is because we

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't have cell phones as kids.

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like, yo, bro, got this little tomagachi.

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm fucking around on dir any thing no tamagatchis and

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 1>you just think of all the things we used to

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 1>just like the phone has yourplace, Like I'm seeing like

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 1>a fucking yo yo, you know what I mean?

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 3>Or it's like, bro, you have nothing to do. Get

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 3>that yo at yoyoa. Oh big kids. We were rocking beepers.

0:22:57.840 --> 0:22:59.159
<v Speaker 3>I didn't have enough people calling me.

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Damn.

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Did you put in your hat too? Did you clip

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the beeper.

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 2>To your hat? I never did the beeper.

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.399
<v Speaker 3>I think I got a like type of candy that

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:10.760
<v Speaker 3>came in a beeper shaped box For those of us

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.920
<v Speaker 3>who didn't have bustling enough social lives.

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 2>The beeper I was in the streets.

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 3>Like pretend, what if you pretended that you had shit

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:18.919
<v Speaker 3>going on?

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>There's jack, there's bubble dumb spilling out of your beeper.

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh yeah, she's calling again. Oh you're right, yeah,

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I better take this. My duke is tripping, you know

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 2>how it is.

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 3>I pretend my mom is calling dude.

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the best I can imagine. I have really over

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 2>protective parents. Did you guys have beepers when everybody else

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 2>had a cell phone?

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I had a beeper in ninety five, so people mostly

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>people still had beepers, and it was.

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Like the beeper arrow when I had a beeper sick.

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I had a beeper because I couldn't afford the phone,

0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 2>and so I would just get a beeper then borrow

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:00.359
<v Speaker 2>someone's phone to call them. Yeah.

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I had the beeper for a long time though, because

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I also didn't like the phones are so big. I

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 1>still was just so into the idea because like rappers

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.959
<v Speaker 1>would put like nine beepers on their waistband. Yeah, I

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>was just kind of like I had two. Like at

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>one point I had two beepers. One was a broken one,

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>but I just had to to just stunt on people

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 1>at the mall.

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>That's like, if you got a lot going on and

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 2>you want to look like Batman, you need like a

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 2>utility belt. All beepers.

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so many deepers deeper Batman.

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Doctors still kind of using right, or they're all using

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Apple watches and ship like the app.

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they got phonesfe works in the hospital and she

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>has a beeper.

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I feel like she gets pages, right.

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's the last place where they're still

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>used like in a regular way, right.

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.880
<v Speaker 3>So it's I mean, yeah, so I think my wife

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 3>has like a work phone that is only like for

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 3>work calls that she knows that she's getting a call.

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:55.120
<v Speaker 2>On that it's it's within the hospital. Yeah, yeah, it's important.

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but yeah, I get I guess beepers do make

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 3>sense like for that. So because dude, I was, I

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:08.400
<v Speaker 3>was showing miles yesterday. I got nine spam calls yesterday,

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 3>like during the course of our recording phone calls. Yeah,

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 3>hour and a half nine spam phone calls. It's they

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 3>have made it completely fucking useless. Like if I was

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 3>a doctor, I'd be fucked or I'd be like getting

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:21.640
<v Speaker 3>scammed so much.

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, sir, I gotta I gotta leave this surgery.

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting another callam doctor, I don't know, I don't know.

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 2>You gotta like sanitize your hands all over again.

0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Got to be sure it's the same area code as

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:34.919
<v Speaker 1>my hometown.

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Makes me think maybe it's someone I know trying to

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:38.080
<v Speaker 2>call me from a new phone.

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 3>I got like the AD and T spam detection thing,

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:43.800
<v Speaker 3>and like it's just taken off since then, and now

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 3>it never says scam likely.

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh boy, the fucking DNT.

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Anyways. Uh, what something aman that you think is overrated?

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Laptops? Uh huh. I feel like we're finally at

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the point now where you could just do everything on

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>your phone. And so when I see somebody like pull

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 2>out a laptop on a train, because you know, like

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the city and everything, somebody's like it's like

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 2>a busy train and somebody like has to do their

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 2>work and they got to like do It's like, dude,

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 2>it could wait right later.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, trying to make a big production of the fact

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 3>that you have work.

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you take them space. Can you write an entire

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.360
<v Speaker 2>article on your phone? Have you done that? I've done

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 2>that before. Damn, it's not great.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 3>You're a great gun typer. Yeah, because I need I

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:30.360
<v Speaker 3>need a keyboard, like to really crank shit out.

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I need. But you could also hook up like a

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 2>keyboard to a phone now that you can get like

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 2>a dunk. That is the wildest look though.

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>You You imagine you're taking the train and somebody just

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:41.919
<v Speaker 1>takes their phone out and then a fucking keyboard and

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 1>they're like, right, let me just type this ship up

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>on my cellphone, and.

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>That's so much easier to carry than a whole laptop,

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and just it's something about it just makes me just

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:53.760
<v Speaker 2>drives me nuts. Because then because I see it all

0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the time, I see people pulling that laptops and doing

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 2>work somewhere where they're not supposed to. And I'm like, dude,

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 2>look around, you're stressing us. Read the room. Yeah, read

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the room. I'm trying to have a sandwich, and you're

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:05.959
<v Speaker 2>trying to use this cafe as your office.

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, dude, Like your slack sounds are fucking upsetting

0:27:09.760 --> 0:27:11.680
<v Speaker 1>me that I can hear ambiently in this office.

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah. And it's like they sometimes give you a

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>dirty look if you're dragging a chair across because I'm

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 2>interrupting their work. This happened the other day. My son

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 2>was pushing a chair in a cafe and somebody gave

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>him a look because he was interrupting his flow. So

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 2>you're in a public place.

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Photograb three chairs, my bad man, I'm expecting some people

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 1>man using this chair in front of you.

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Actually, it wouldn't bother me so much if, like I

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't see it all the time. You know. Yeah, it

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:42.719
<v Speaker 2>just feels like you can't leave the house without somebody

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 2>making whatever space their office. You know. I take my

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 2>case of the library a lot again, just people just

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:51.560
<v Speaker 2>post it up, making it their their workspace. And I'm like, you, guy,

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>it's not that important love that even.

0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Though it's a peaceful place to do your work.

0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.679
<v Speaker 2>We'll do that shit somewhere else, or just you know,

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>be better at time management. If your problem is that

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:05.360
<v Speaker 2>you have to do work on the way that we're

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 2>like on the wages where you're going, maybe you should

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:10.160
<v Speaker 2>have done woke up a little bit earlier. That's right.

0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 2>They probably lift themselves up by their bootstraps and get

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:13.760
<v Speaker 2>it together. Thank you.

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're getting crushed by your job. I don't want

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 1>to see it in front of me, you know.

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Uh, The article that I did fully write on my

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 2>phone was the January sixth article when I was when

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I went to the Capitol building. Oh okay, I'll give you. Yeah,

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I needed a file literally right then, and so I

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 2>just typed out everything as it happened to published it

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 2>in a couple hours.

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:40.280
<v Speaker 3>And it was It read like one of Jeffrey Epstein's emails.

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 3>It was just like no capitalizations, stations scattered throughout.

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Luckily you got a good editor.

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, all right, we're gonna take a quick break,

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 3>then we're gonna come back and talk about some news.

0:28:52.680 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back, and we're back. We're back.

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And somebody told Trump about this affordability thing, this crisis.

0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 3>It really must be hard for him, who has never

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, to afford anything in his life, never had

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 3>any sort of lack in his life, and also doesn't

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 3>seem to be able to hear people who aren't billionaires

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 3>like you know, like fully take them in as humans. Yeah,

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 3>so this is probably news to him. Will some people

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 3>are like having trouble.

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, when you're that wealthy, you're all your wealth

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 1>is just like built on exploiting people's like labor. So

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>at that point you truly don't see them as people.

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 1>You're like, yeah, these are my fucking smurfs that I

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>squeezed dollars out of. What the fuck are they complaining about?

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the Trump is having a summit or had

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 1>one already with McDonald's franchisees about affordability, and I guess like,

0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:00.120
<v Speaker 1>rather than like, I don't know, introducing like legislation that

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 1>would bar companies from profiting excessively, he'd rather just yell

0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 1>at a bunch of McDonald's people about it.

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 3>But he lowered the prices like that was basically the right.

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, when for.

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 3>A day or something, do a sale.

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:15.840
<v Speaker 1>When you read the comments, you're like, this feels like

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody's leaning on you McDonald's. But so people, we've talked

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>about how he was going to go on a speaking

0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 1>tour to address the affordability crisis and just not listen.

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, no, no, no, no, you will hear me.

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>You will hear me again, And he said he was

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 1>just going to go around not offering solutions, but merely

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 1>pointing to his past accomplishments to be like, how you

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>go say, I'm not doing anything for working people. I'm

0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>doing no tax on tips no tax on overtime. Now,

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 1>don't look too deeply into that and see if that's

0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:46.479
<v Speaker 1>actually beneficial to those people. But it sounds good and

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that's what ideal in So yeah, he continued this, uh,

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and they got the people who were asking about, like,

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 1>what's going to be going on the McDonald's Sumit it

0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 1>says a key message at the mcdonald' summit will be

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>that value and affordability or quote so important to consumers

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and elected officials that our franchisees and company are co

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>investing to bring extra value and affordability to our customers.

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, well, hold on.

0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Affordability is so important to elected officials that franchisees are

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 1>investing their own This sounds like legislators like you need

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to fucking help us, So whatever you need to do

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to bring the fucking cost now, will help you do that.

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Shit. Yeah, it's like we put money in your pocket.

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Now it's time to make me look good.

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, Like, this isn't because we've talked about i mean

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>over the like the last since we've been doing this show.

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>It's always been like how fucking expensive fast food is

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 1>getting to the point where it's not even some shit

0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 1>where you're like, bro, I can't like I can eat

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>fast food for cheap at least now it's like I

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 1>gotta count the coins in my pocket before I go

0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to like McDonald's or some shit. Axios did report that

0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's is quote taking the rare step of footing part

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>of the bill for its new extra value meals to

0:31:58.560 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 1>win back cash strap.

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 2>So okay, and.

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 3>There's probably no quid pro quo where you know, the

0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 3>FDA looks the other way as they like just call

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 3>it an extra pound of u sawdust to all of

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 3>their products.

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Its sawdust.

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 1>But it just feels like, like, so the greed is

0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>causing such bad optics for this administration. They're begging slash

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 1>coercing McDonald's into bringing prices down as a smoke screen,

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:33.880
<v Speaker 1>because we have heard McDonald's be like, we are our

0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>customers can't even afford our product, like that is being

0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>talked about within the boardrooms. Now again that that means

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:43.280
<v Speaker 1>are you willing to make less profits? Are you willing

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>to take that extreme step to make less money?

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 3>And I will say the McDonald's is franchise base, franchise

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 3>e like based, so you can put the pressure downwards.

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 3>So you're not asking billionaires to take a pay cut.

0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 3>You're asking them to put pressure on the you know,

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:03.440
<v Speaker 3>p people who own the individual outlets, right right, So

0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:07.680
<v Speaker 3>it's that that's a way of doing this that doesn't

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 3>require you to put pressure on corporate America in any way.

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 2>It's it's really beautiful. It's like a beautiful trick they've done.

0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, this administration has been throwing out all kinds

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of ideas how to bring prices down, and Trump has

0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 1>even gone up, like gone back on being like Biden

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 1>started the high prices, but I will fix it. And

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:30.520
<v Speaker 1>but now they're finding themselves and being like okay, so

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 1>how and they're like.

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Ask them to lower the prices?

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because you like Yon tried asking them.

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it requires them to do things that are antithetical

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to their entire worldview, like so like don't write socialist

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 1>checks your capitalists ass can't cash.

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know that's what he's trying to do. Yeah,

0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 2>you know this is going to work so beautiful, beautifully

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.680
<v Speaker 2>for them. And that sort of drives me nuts because

0:33:57.720 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I think for like the past, it's not like a

0:33:59.160 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Republican or democ issue. I think like the way that

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>it's been working for the past ten like decade, is

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 2>that the top one percent. Berniey Senters has been talking

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>about this forever. The top one percent has been just

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 2>siphoning money from the middle class and the lower class

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.439
<v Speaker 2>like crazy. And now like that all of the money

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:19.440
<v Speaker 2>has already floated to the top, they're gonna trickle just

0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>a little drop back down and they're gonna act like

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 2>they're actually doing something right. And the way that it's

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 2>been working in Trump world, where they're just desperate for anything,

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 2>any sign of life in the Trump administration, that they're

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 2>going to actually turn this into a win. And I

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 2>hate to say it, it's gonna work. And you know,

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I saw a little bit of the video of him

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>like going up and like talking about it, and just

0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the laughs that he got in the room when he

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:43.960
<v Speaker 2>was he was like, you know, I'm the first president

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:46.759
<v Speaker 2>that have been elected who was formerly a fry cook

0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:50.240
<v Speaker 2>at McDonald's. I think the way that the room erupted

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and laughter, I think tells you everything about how this

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 2>is that play.

0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:56.399
<v Speaker 3>Is that because he did that one photo op as

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:57.240
<v Speaker 3>a fry.

0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Cook or no, he's just making fun of himself, and

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I think people are just it's a party and everybody

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.759
<v Speaker 2>it's like a big birthday celebration more than it is

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:10.319
<v Speaker 2>any policy like movement. It's just gonna work out.

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Life is just one long birthday party for him, you know.

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think the way that he photoshopped like the

0:35:18.719 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 2>McDonald's double arches on top of the White House, are

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:25.880
<v Speaker 2>they wasted they and they put grimace in a maga hat.

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it's sort of the same pattern of

0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:33.040
<v Speaker 2>trying to create this idealized version of the success, trying

0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:35.760
<v Speaker 2>to show Trump as somebody who was actually solving problems.

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 2>As long as they can continue to manufacture that image,

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:41.799
<v Speaker 2>their base is going to think of it as a success.

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:43.759
<v Speaker 2>And we're not talking to them. They're not talking to

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 2>us anyways, and so there really is no room for

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody to say, actually, is this actually going to do

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 2>make a difference. Now they're gonna be oh no, look,

0:35:51.239 --> 0:35:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Trump actually did lower the prices, He did what he

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:54.480
<v Speaker 2>said he was gonna do. Well.

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:56.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that's where they're trying to find the thing

0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:59.480
<v Speaker 1>where they're like, clearly the the you know, voted Trump

0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>three times people are they don't need to be convinced.

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 1>It's like all the people they kind of siphoned off

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.399
<v Speaker 1>in the presidential that they're like, ah, fuck, like we're

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:11.319
<v Speaker 1>losing everybody too, because they would tell everybody else who

0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 1>they think is gonna vote for.

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:14.239
<v Speaker 2>A Democrat like just eat shit, we don't give a fuck.

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 1>But I think there is like that group because especially

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 1>with the number of like Latino voters who are now

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 1>just like the like the inversion of that coalition or

0:36:23.520 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the lack of support.

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Now they're like, uh, fuck, why what's their problem? What

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 2>are they meant about?

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you know, just the kidnappings? Should we just look

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 1>at this clip where he talks about we.

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Should yeah, we should talk about the books he is

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:39.360
<v Speaker 3>he does kind of have them eating out of his hands,

0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:41.880
<v Speaker 3>and then he does something that's like, I don't I

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:44.759
<v Speaker 3>don't know what really happens here, but I just as

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:47.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, not just as a politician, but as as

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:47.680
<v Speaker 3>a person.

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 2>It's worth watching this as a person.

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:54.480
<v Speaker 6>Doing honest, beautiful hard work and happy family sitting down

0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:58.240
<v Speaker 6>to a really great meal, because no matter who you are,

0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:02.919
<v Speaker 6>everyone loves some thing at McDonald's. It's always something to have.

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I like the fish, I like it. What you could

0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:09.920
<v Speaker 2>do a.

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:15.120
<v Speaker 6>Little bit more ta please, seriously, I hate when I said,

0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:17.840
<v Speaker 6>you have any do you understand that?

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the fish, Okay, I like.

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Fish, And he like pushes his hand down a little bit,

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 3>so all right. My first impression is it seems like

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:37.120
<v Speaker 3>a clear attempt at a Homer Simpson audibly drooling, thing like.

0:37:38.360 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean?

0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:41.719
<v Speaker 7>Okay, But but he like doesn't. So he's just like,

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:45.759
<v Speaker 7>what's but what's the hand doing? Because he's like, I

0:37:45.840 --> 0:37:47.799
<v Speaker 7>like the fish, And it looks like he's shifting in

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:53.280
<v Speaker 7>the third gear. Maybe isn't he doing like a crunching

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:53.839
<v Speaker 7>sound like.

0:37:53.800 --> 0:37:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Aulating that he's simulating the roof of his mouth coming

0:37:58.880 --> 0:37:59.399
<v Speaker 2>down on.

0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 1>A Oh, he has a bit of an oral fixation.

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 1>It feels like the last year.

0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it is.

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:10.400
<v Speaker 3>It's weird, like maybe he has something in his throat.

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:12.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to bring that up that that has

0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:16.600
<v Speaker 3>nothing to do with anything that's happening elsewhere in the news.

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm just wondering if he had something in his throat

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 3>it was a horse, Okay, I would be a new

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:26.880
<v Speaker 3>fucking angle.

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 2>It was a fucking horse, all right. That he goes

0:38:29.719 --> 0:38:30.239
<v Speaker 2>I like the.

0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 3>Fish makes me wonder if he just like doesn't know

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:34.239
<v Speaker 3>where fish come from.

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:36.880
<v Speaker 2>He's just like doing.

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:40.680
<v Speaker 3>He's just like he thinks they're like created by a

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:41.800
<v Speaker 3>robot or something.

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:45.879
<v Speaker 1>He makes like a ninety degree angle with his either way,

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that's what he's trying to do. He's getting them to

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about anything, but whatever is happening right now? I

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.840
<v Speaker 1>am curious, So like how quickly it? Like, so prices

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:59.439
<v Speaker 1>will go down at McDonald's maybe for how long? Yeah,

0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 1>but what about everywhere else? Because everybody also has bills

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to put, like utility bills to pay, they have phone

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:09.279
<v Speaker 1>bills to pay, They've got grocery costs that you know.

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:11.680
<v Speaker 1>The one thing now, he's like like they're trying to

0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:14.880
<v Speaker 1>eliminate the tariffs on things like coffee and like tropical

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:17.000
<v Speaker 1>fruit and certain things to just to give the illusion

0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:19.600
<v Speaker 1>like like, oh, some things are coming down, but I don't.

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I think he also misunderstands that this is it. This

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 1>is a like a fucking all encompassing crisis of affordability.

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not just McDonald's became too pricey, but.

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:34.839
<v Speaker 3>Against your people, right, that's they the shit, right, we'll

0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:35.839
<v Speaker 3>go the same.

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:38.240
<v Speaker 2>But that's him too. It's wages.

0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that's the other thing too, And I think

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:42.959
<v Speaker 1>rather than doing addressing any of those things, it's easy

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to be like, we're going to be cutting people of

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:47.839
<v Speaker 1>two thousand dollars checks, folks, just to be like, you know,

0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 1>how about my wages go up?

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 2>How about my healthcare costs? To do something about them? No, No,

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 2>here's two thousand. That's you know, don't look into the

0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:58.040
<v Speaker 2>analysis of what happened in the lockdown. It did contribute

0:39:58.040 --> 0:39:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a bit to inflation, although did.

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:01.919
<v Speaker 3>That were required in at a very high level from

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:05.359
<v Speaker 3>like the C suite, And that's not what he's requiring

0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:09.799
<v Speaker 3>here here he's asking franchises to make less money, so

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 3>that you know, and franchisees are not like C suite millionaires.

0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:17.279
<v Speaker 3>There are people who own a single McDonald's franchise, or

0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, a group.

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Of McDonald if you've got multiple, if you've got a multiples,

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I hope.

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I mean there's some there's some McDonald's franchise

0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:24.399
<v Speaker 3>e kingpins for sure.

0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Out here.

0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 3>And also he did tweet out that mega hat of

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:33.680
<v Speaker 3>an image AI slop essentially of Grimace wearing a mega hat,

0:40:33.719 --> 0:40:38.040
<v Speaker 3>and then they immediately deleted. So I feel like McDonald's

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:39.680
<v Speaker 3>was like whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:43.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, they're like don't, yeah, we don't. That makes

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:44.080
<v Speaker 2>it even funnier.

0:40:44.080 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna Yeah, well, like the first one they

0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 1>they they I think they vetoed the one where it

0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:51.879
<v Speaker 1>had a swastika armband on, and then.

0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Maybe like all this the a I thought that they've done.

0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:57.759
<v Speaker 2>There was a panic on the Trump side. We're like, oh,

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:00.719
<v Speaker 2>that's too far, that's too far. Take that back. Yeah,

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 2>but that's all dripping poop on protesters in Chicago, right right.

0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 1>What's also just funny to me is like that the

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.799
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's has enough sway. They're like, hey, man, take that

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>ship down. And they're like sorry, sorry, yeah, sorry, I

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 1>guess we got to white nationalists dip on our chip there.

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Sorry about that, McDonald's. We will remove the post at once.

0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk real quick about the LAPD, who We've been

0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 3>on a pretty steady. The police and human caging system

0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:32.760
<v Speaker 3>in America is inhumane, doesn't work to make people safer,

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:35.320
<v Speaker 3>and it seems like the people in charge of running

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:39.840
<v Speaker 3>that system might be catching onto that fact too crazy

0:41:39.960 --> 0:41:42.279
<v Speaker 3>because in LA we spend billions of dollars in tax

0:41:42.320 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 3>money to keep the LAPD and fast cars and new guns.

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>The finest guns we keep our police and the finest guns, and.

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Tearing through the sky and helicopters. Nobody has really explained

0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:55.800
<v Speaker 3>the purpose of oh.

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Paying lawsuit settlements for their illegal behavior.

0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Us.

0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:02.480
<v Speaker 1>That's actually a huge burden on the city.

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 3>The helicopters. Man, I feel like we gotta. I feel

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:08.920
<v Speaker 3>like we could. We could take over the golf courses.

0:42:09.520 --> 0:42:11.920
<v Speaker 3>If Mom Donnie can get elected, we can get rid

0:42:11.960 --> 0:42:14.319
<v Speaker 3>of the LAPD helicopters and take over the golf course

0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:17.319
<v Speaker 3>and LAPD helicopters. Like, don't once you just like take

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:20.399
<v Speaker 3>a second to think about it, You're like, so that's

0:42:20.440 --> 0:42:23.560
<v Speaker 3>just for car chases, Like that's why the fun that

0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:25.840
<v Speaker 3>they need to be, why the sky need to be

0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 3>constantly swarming with helicopters.

0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:31.719
<v Speaker 2>It's also also have they heard of drones? Right?

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you know they have, yeah, budgets, Like we need

0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:37.839
<v Speaker 1>just a few of those. But also I'm I'm sure

0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:39.920
<v Speaker 1>they're like, but we also need the helicopters so we

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 1>can just keep a low grade stress, like just a

0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 1>nice low grade stress for low income area. You're being watched, Yeah,

0:42:47.719 --> 0:42:49.880
<v Speaker 1>just buzzing down through neighborhoods, to keep them alive.

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:51.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're gonna keep them awake that you know

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 2>they have multiple purposes.

0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:54.759
<v Speaker 3>So on the question of what the money is being

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 3>spent on and how it's working, the LAPD is just like,

0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:02.759
<v Speaker 3>we're not telling just trust us. It's for your own good.

0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:04.600
<v Speaker 3>That's essentially what they've done.

0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 1>They've gone with, right, because we used to have a

0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:09.960
<v Speaker 1>crime map that you could look at at any time

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that was basically like here's the crime data website. You

0:43:13.080 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 1>can go look to your neighborhood. You can just see

0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:19.760
<v Speaker 1>there's records of like locations of crimes, the use of force,

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 1>number of other like all kinds of data, just like

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:25.240
<v Speaker 1>what the cops are up to. And it was somewhat

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 1>trained by law.

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Right, there's a law, the public transparency law that for

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:35.520
<v Speaker 3>years the LAPD has had to maintain records to improve

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:40.520
<v Speaker 3>inspection and accountability. And then abruptly this year they were like, heh,

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:45.279
<v Speaker 3>you actually can't see it. And when asked why, they

0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:50.560
<v Speaker 3>said that the information quote has the potential to lead

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 3>to misguided public policy discussions or unjustified public panic, which

0:43:58.920 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I believe the first one is their concern that they're like, oh, man,

0:44:02.200 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 3>you guys are gonna cut our funding if you know

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:06.319
<v Speaker 3>what's actually going on, but the idea that it would

0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:10.640
<v Speaker 3>lead to public panic. They love some statistics that make

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:14.879
<v Speaker 3>them look like they are necessary and make their job

0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:17.319
<v Speaker 3>look dangerous and make it look like they're having to

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:20.080
<v Speaker 3>fight things and crimes out of control. They when there's

0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.279
<v Speaker 3>when there's a crime, they're the first ones to tell

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:25.319
<v Speaker 3>you about that. So I have to assume at this

0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:29.720
<v Speaker 3>time of like rapidly dropping violent crime across American cities,

0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:32.840
<v Speaker 3>that their their problem is not we don't want to

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:34.120
<v Speaker 3>show you guys, because you can.

0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Be too scared. You can be too scared, you're gonna

0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:40.239
<v Speaker 2>make you're gonna need us too much. We don't want

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:42.279
<v Speaker 2>you to see how much everyone is so dumb man,

0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 2>They think everyone is as dumb as them.

0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:49.200
<v Speaker 1>It's so patronizing to be like, oh, you guys, won't

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:51.879
<v Speaker 1>even wrap your head around this data that shows we're

0:44:51.880 --> 0:44:55.760
<v Speaker 1>doing fuck all and wasting money, because then you're gonna

0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't even want and you're gonna fucking panic or

0:44:58.920 --> 0:45:03.080
<v Speaker 1>some ship, dude, because it sounds like you. That data

0:45:03.480 --> 0:45:06.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to be so incriminating in terms of the

0:45:06.360 --> 0:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>just just total waste of money that we pay these

0:45:09.920 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 1>people who most of them don't even live in the

0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 1>fucking city. They're out of towners who come in and

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:15.800
<v Speaker 1>just fucking bad up the actual people who live in

0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:19.359
<v Speaker 1>the city. Yeah, right now, there's a lot of back

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and forth trying to get this information out. The mayor's

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:25.480
<v Speaker 1>office has not even returned to Andy, hasn't given any

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:28.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of comment on this, because, yeah, how are you

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:31.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna defend this, Like you don't want to be transparent

0:45:31.239 --> 0:45:34.520
<v Speaker 1>with the data about what you're up to, then then

0:45:34.560 --> 0:45:36.440
<v Speaker 1>tell your story if you if you're if you're so

0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:40.400
<v Speaker 1>concerned about what the what people are gonna get from

0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:43.560
<v Speaker 1>this data, then why don't you release it and you

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:46.200
<v Speaker 1>give whatever your analysis is and then allow people to

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:47.560
<v Speaker 1>look through the raw data themselves.

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:48.200
<v Speaker 2>That's all.

0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 3>It's like a kid just being like, what, I gotta

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:53.560
<v Speaker 3>tell you something, but you're gonna be mad at me? Yeah,

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 3>tell you you're gonna be so mad at me? Do

0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:57.440
<v Speaker 3>you promise you're not gonna be mad at me? Then

0:45:57.560 --> 0:45:59.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm not telling you.

0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:00.919
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna get mad? Well, did you do something bad?

0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know we're gonna get mad? Are you gonna

0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:04.720
<v Speaker 2>be mad?

0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't I mean, I'm protecting you from this information

0:46:10.200 --> 0:46:11.279
<v Speaker 3>because you're gonna be so mad.

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:12.360
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna be so mad.

0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, anyone tell you?

0:46:13.840 --> 0:46:16.759
<v Speaker 2>This is why I didn't tell you nothing. Shout out

0:46:16.800 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 2>to the LA You can almost imagine how that meeting went,

0:46:20.560 --> 0:46:22.200
<v Speaker 2>where they were just like, wait, why are we even

0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:24.239
<v Speaker 2>giving this to people on the why so they could

0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:26.600
<v Speaker 2>be mad at us? This is so dumb. I'm sure

0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:28.840
<v Speaker 2>some poor, low level person have to go on the

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 2>website and scrub.

0:46:29.680 --> 0:46:32.200
<v Speaker 1>It right, or I'm sure some some person who's in

0:46:32.280 --> 0:46:34.080
<v Speaker 1>charge of that was like whatever, you just always posted,

0:46:34.160 --> 0:46:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm like, just just.

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Don't fucking post this one. Don't fucking post this one.

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:40.160
<v Speaker 2>They're like what what what It's just like, oh, no.

0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:44.560
<v Speaker 3>If we didn't ye, no, no, there's a law, but

0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:48.640
<v Speaker 3>what if there wasn't. Yeah there is who's gonna enforce

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:48.920
<v Speaker 3>the law?

0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Where the police? Yeah, exactly one hundred per cent?

0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:55.760
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean like because also, like in twenty fifteen,

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the LA Times like they, you know, did an investigation

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 1>show that they were doing the LAPD was involved in

0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of misclassification errors that were artificially lowering the

0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:07.120
<v Speaker 1>city's crime levels.

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.

0:47:07.960 --> 0:47:12.480
<v Speaker 3>So we're just messy. We're just messy guys. We're you know,

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:13.840
<v Speaker 3>we're like loose cannons.

0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever see Rigs or John McClain doing fucking paperwork?

0:47:18.719 --> 0:47:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Hell no, dudell, No, they hated it, beating the ship

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:22.560
<v Speaker 1>out of people.

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Happy though, look at the numbers this lower.

0:47:28.280 --> 0:47:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I think the I think the biggest

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 1>thing is really for people to understand how much tax

0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:38.239
<v Speaker 1>revenue like La County generates, or even just even at

0:47:38.320 --> 0:47:41.879
<v Speaker 1>least city does, and you look at the services we have,

0:47:42.520 --> 0:47:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and then you just look at how much of that

0:47:44.120 --> 0:47:47.600
<v Speaker 1>money goes to police overtime and settling these lawsuits for

0:47:47.640 --> 0:47:51.920
<v Speaker 1>their fucking actions of impropriety. To put it lightly, Yeah,

0:47:51.960 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it's it would it's my numbing. And people are like, damn,

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:55.879
<v Speaker 1>why do the streets look like this? I'm like, because

0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a lapd.

0:47:57.120 --> 0:47:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Right, you say, why why does the streets look like this?

0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:03.720
<v Speaker 3>As a helicopter flies over your head, It's like, it's

0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:04.680
<v Speaker 3>a shame of mine.

0:48:04.680 --> 0:48:04.839
<v Speaker 6>Man.

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:06.919
<v Speaker 2>It drives me nuts because in New York we're having

0:48:07.000 --> 0:48:10.680
<v Speaker 2>this whole news cycle discussion about what Zoron means when

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:13.200
<v Speaker 2>he meant when he said defund the police like ten

0:48:13.280 --> 0:48:17.160
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and it's so easy for people to just

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:19.440
<v Speaker 2>explain it. Right, It's simple. You take some of the

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:22.160
<v Speaker 2>budget that's like that's being wasted, that's actually not being

0:48:22.239 --> 0:48:24.319
<v Speaker 2>used for good police work, and you spend it on

0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:27.720
<v Speaker 2>services so that the police aren't being overwhelmed with non

0:48:27.800 --> 0:48:31.439
<v Speaker 2>stop calls for every little thing. It just makes sense

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 2>when you when you hear it said out loud. But

0:48:33.640 --> 0:48:38.399
<v Speaker 2>then it doesn't even matter. You take what you're saying is, oh,

0:48:38.440 --> 0:48:40.600
<v Speaker 2>so you want crime or are you pro crime? Then

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:42.759
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, you want people to kill you? Yes, look

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 2>at me, dude, I'm pro crime. Look at me.

0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I've lost my mind and I'm pro crime. And my

0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:53.000
<v Speaker 1>wife pant they get fucking robbed every time I leave

0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the house. That's my dream, right, because that's a reasonable

0:48:55.800 --> 0:48:57.840
<v Speaker 1>person says no, Like to your point, it's like, we

0:48:57.920 --> 0:49:00.440
<v Speaker 1>take all the money they fucking waste, Like we're only

0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 1>spending four thousand dollars a minute on helicopters and putting

0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that into the social safety net programs that like to

0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:09.200
<v Speaker 1>your point, you know, lead to actually.

0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Less ride And because we live in a democracy, and

0:49:12.760 --> 0:49:15.400
<v Speaker 2>all hinges on whether or not this group and that

0:49:15.440 --> 0:49:18.279
<v Speaker 2>group can have a conversation, and it just we so

0:49:18.440 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 2>clearly can't control All of our policies are being based

0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:26.120
<v Speaker 2>off of what slogan sounds better and how much a

0:49:26.160 --> 0:49:27.279
<v Speaker 2>happy meal will now cost.

0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like I wonder if there even is a

0:49:28.719 --> 0:49:30.520
<v Speaker 1>way to tell these cops like, look, guys, y'all are

0:49:30.600 --> 0:49:33.000
<v Speaker 1>making a lot of money, all right, we're gonna take

0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a little we're taking some money away, okay, and you

0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:37.920
<v Speaker 1>still get to drive your gigantic truck.

0:49:38.640 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't it be nice to like not respond to everything?

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right right, It's like, but we got to work

0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:46.479
<v Speaker 1>this out, baby. This ain't this isn't just some shit

0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:49.239
<v Speaker 1>that you can just bleed the city dry with all

0:49:49.280 --> 0:49:50.640
<v Speaker 1>your fucking overtime shit.

0:49:50.840 --> 0:49:52.840
<v Speaker 3>You talk to the cops and like a lot of

0:49:52.880 --> 0:49:55.600
<v Speaker 3>them are like, yeah, I don't like that there are

0:49:55.640 --> 0:49:58.240
<v Speaker 3>no mental health resources in the city.

0:49:58.320 --> 0:50:02.960
<v Speaker 2>That's bad for us. The cop. Yeah, even then everything

0:50:03.040 --> 0:50:04.960
<v Speaker 2>with a with a cop, you can just throw a

0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:06.799
<v Speaker 2>cop and expect to work out.

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:10.520
<v Speaker 3>According to Joe Biden gave that speech, it's like, what

0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:15.759
<v Speaker 3>you want to defund the police? The police are psychiatrists.

0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:20.160
<v Speaker 2>There are doctors, our lovers, there are lots didn't want

0:50:20.200 --> 0:50:22.080
<v Speaker 2>to ask corn Pop if he knows who Buppa is,

0:50:22.560 --> 0:50:25.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a great question. We need you need to find out.

0:50:25.120 --> 0:50:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think.

0:50:25.719 --> 0:50:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if corn Pop knows who corn

0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Pop that they are corn Pop, Joe Biden. Just think

0:50:30.840 --> 0:50:33.040
<v Speaker 1>some random black duty shook hands with like seventy years

0:50:33.040 --> 0:50:35.520
<v Speaker 1>ago and corn Pop was a bad guy.

0:50:36.080 --> 0:50:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, sir, how did you fat what files? He never has?

0:50:42.680 --> 0:50:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Has that been searched? That's your job as a journalist

0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:46.080
<v Speaker 3>to tell us.

0:50:46.200 --> 0:50:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I gotta google this.

0:50:48.239 --> 0:50:50.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,

0:51:01.200 --> 0:51:06.200
<v Speaker 3>and we're back. We're back, and let's talk about first

0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:09.880
<v Speaker 3>of all, why Nicki Minaj is addressing the UN addressed

0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:14.080
<v Speaker 3>the UN yesterday. Her involvement was arranged by the Trump administration.

0:51:14.920 --> 0:51:18.320
<v Speaker 1>She tweeted, couldn't address the UN just off the strength

0:51:18.360 --> 0:51:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of her and the Barbs.

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I know I would think so, but the writing and

0:51:22.680 --> 0:51:25.000
<v Speaker 3>a post ambassador. I'm so grateful to be entrusted with

0:51:25.040 --> 0:51:27.359
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it

0:51:27.360 --> 0:51:29.920
<v Speaker 3>for granted. Means more than you know, the Barbes and

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:32.320
<v Speaker 3>I will never stand down in the face of injustice.

0:51:32.480 --> 0:51:35.320
<v Speaker 3>We've been given our influenced by God. There must be

0:51:35.360 --> 0:51:40.560
<v Speaker 3>a bigger purpose. Trump media advisor Alex bruce Witz, who's

0:51:40.600 --> 0:51:44.000
<v Speaker 3>also expected to speak at the event, and this was

0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:49.359
<v Speaker 3>to highlight claims of Christian persecution in Nigeria, which, first

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:51.040
<v Speaker 3>of all, I do just want to say. Now we've

0:51:51.080 --> 0:51:56.360
<v Speaker 3>got two of the three people on Monster now fully

0:51:56.400 --> 0:52:00.840
<v Speaker 3>aligned with the right. Only Jay Z's our last holdout.

0:52:01.000 --> 0:52:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's I say he was low key, you know,

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 3>as a billionaire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he's part of

0:52:07.040 --> 0:52:09.080
<v Speaker 3>that set. But yeah he's not. He hasn't open. He

0:52:09.120 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 3>doesn't fully become a part of the Trump administration.

0:52:14.680 --> 0:52:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine?

0:52:15.440 --> 0:52:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Like and he has who better than Sean Carter as

0:52:18.280 --> 0:52:20.960
<v Speaker 1>my liaison for Housing and Urban Development?

0:52:21.719 --> 0:52:23.560
<v Speaker 2>He said, the streets is watching, and he knew it's

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:25.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of it's kind of nice when people like this

0:52:25.360 --> 0:52:28.080
<v Speaker 2>get involved and they do, like want to take a position.

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:31.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really cool. It's just NICKI minajal people.

0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:33.239
<v Speaker 2>I can't. I don't think I ever got over when

0:52:33.280 --> 0:52:36.120
<v Speaker 2>she talked about how the COVID vaccine will make your

0:52:36.160 --> 0:52:42.000
<v Speaker 2>testicle swollen. Yeah, cousin and their cousin. Yeah, they pulled

0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:46.279
<v Speaker 2>off because they took up the COVID vaccine. It's like, yeah,

0:52:46.400 --> 0:52:48.640
<v Speaker 2>it's it's good. We should want people to to like

0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:53.719
<v Speaker 2>take stances and be political, you know, volved. Yeah, but

0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:56.720
<v Speaker 2>don't on the line.

0:52:56.600 --> 0:53:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, don't get charged up off of Bill mahersh segment.

0:53:00.880 --> 0:53:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that is what happened. This is what happened.

0:53:04.160 --> 0:53:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Earlier this month, she praised Trump for threatening military action

0:53:07.239 --> 0:53:09.200
<v Speaker 3>against Nigeria over this slaughter of Christians.

0:53:09.480 --> 0:53:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Trump had air quotes for slaughter.

0:53:12.200 --> 0:53:14.399
<v Speaker 3>I think it's important to yeah, yeah, over the quote

0:53:14.480 --> 0:53:18.080
<v Speaker 3>unquote a latter of Christians. He ordered the military to

0:53:18.120 --> 0:53:21.560
<v Speaker 3>prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islami's militant groups

0:53:21.600 --> 0:53:24.880
<v Speaker 3>because the government is failing to protect Christians and promise

0:53:25.000 --> 0:53:27.799
<v Speaker 3>to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria is not going

0:53:27.840 --> 0:53:30.719
<v Speaker 3>to be happy about. He always does shit like that,

0:53:30.760 --> 0:53:33.839
<v Speaker 3>like he's flirting, and you know, obviously he doesn't give

0:53:33.880 --> 0:53:37.080
<v Speaker 3>a fuck about Nigerians. But this gives conservatives an excuse

0:53:37.120 --> 0:53:40.640
<v Speaker 3>to paint Christians as the real victims in our world.

0:53:40.640 --> 0:53:45.440
<v Speaker 3>They're so warny to be like persecuted, you know. And

0:53:45.840 --> 0:53:50.120
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty, he similarly stated the government, the government

0:53:50.160 --> 0:53:52.520
<v Speaker 3>of Nigeria was not doing enough to protect the safety

0:53:52.640 --> 0:53:57.400
<v Speaker 3>of Nigerians, especially Christians, and there's been like Ted Kruz

0:53:57.440 --> 0:54:00.440
<v Speaker 3>has recently come out and been like fifty thou Christians

0:54:00.440 --> 0:54:02.920
<v Speaker 3>have been killed since two thousand and nine by armed

0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Islamist groups in Nigeria. Of course, he did not cite

0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:11.759
<v Speaker 3>sources for the information, and we think like that this

0:54:12.000 --> 0:54:16.879
<v Speaker 3>really got going a week before Cruz's tweet because Bill

0:54:16.960 --> 0:54:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Maher on his show is this what the fuck's is

0:54:22.239 --> 0:54:25.239
<v Speaker 3>still the Real Time or whatever the fuck? I don't know,

0:54:25.880 --> 0:54:29.320
<v Speaker 3>real time, real talk, real whatever the fuck racist self

0:54:29.360 --> 0:54:32.480
<v Speaker 3>hating loser show on he used his HBO show to

0:54:32.480 --> 0:54:37.080
<v Speaker 3>claim that Islamists spoke Oharam are systematically killing the Christians

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:37.880
<v Speaker 3>in Nigeria.

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this is new role.

0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:44.879
<v Speaker 3>This is so much more of a genocide attempt than

0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:48.200
<v Speaker 3>what is going on in Gaza. They're literally attempting to

0:54:48.239 --> 0:54:52.320
<v Speaker 3>wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. His sources,

0:54:52.360 --> 0:54:57.480
<v Speaker 3>according to people who are actual journalists, say that it's

0:54:57.920 --> 0:55:03.839
<v Speaker 3>largely fabricated claims and manip images from unverified outlets. But

0:55:03.920 --> 0:55:06.640
<v Speaker 3>of course that segment was later picked up by Fox News,

0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:08.920
<v Speaker 3>which is how it gets to Trump and Ted Cruz,

0:55:09.440 --> 0:55:12.040
<v Speaker 3>which is how it then gets to Nicki minaj.

0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful love that love that pipeline, the Bill Maher to

0:55:16.040 --> 0:55:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Nicki Minaj un pipeline really really impressive, And I mean,

0:55:20.640 --> 0:55:24.120
<v Speaker 1>god do people don't people know Bill Maher, Like, I

0:55:24.120 --> 0:55:26.120
<v Speaker 1>don't even know how the fuck he's still on HBO.

0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:31.280
<v Speaker 1>This guy has such a sordid record of Islamophobic bullshit

0:55:31.360 --> 0:55:34.359
<v Speaker 1>that he says on his show for fucking decades. Yes

0:55:34.360 --> 0:55:37.279
<v Speaker 1>that anytime he mentions anything outside of him wanting to

0:55:37.280 --> 0:55:40.120
<v Speaker 1>have sex with like video vixens from the like two thousands,

0:55:40.360 --> 0:55:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm like.

0:55:40.680 --> 0:55:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Bro, this this is some fucking bullshit. This is some lie.

0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And just to just to think that it goes

0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:49.200
<v Speaker 1>from there to now that this whole sort of narrative

0:55:49.239 --> 0:55:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that they're really trying to get going of, like, let's

0:55:51.200 --> 0:55:54.359
<v Speaker 1>we honestly we need to protect Christians everywhere, and maybe

0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:57.239
<v Speaker 1>that's a justification for increased militarism around the world. I

0:55:57.280 --> 0:55:59.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe or just just to change the optic

0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:00.399
<v Speaker 1>a bit.

0:56:00.920 --> 0:56:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, turned it into a religious war. Things should be

0:56:03.719 --> 0:56:06.239
<v Speaker 2>what they're going for. Yeah, they want to be able

0:56:06.280 --> 0:56:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to like clap back at the accusations of the side. Yeah, exactly.

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:13.960
<v Speaker 3>This is Yeah, he dropped that report around the time

0:56:14.239 --> 0:56:17.680
<v Speaker 3>that Nigeria support voice support for a two state solution

0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:20.919
<v Speaker 3>to the Palestinian conflict at conflict at the twenty twenty

0:56:20.960 --> 0:56:25.160
<v Speaker 3>five u in General Assembly. So he went and like

0:56:25.280 --> 0:56:29.240
<v Speaker 3>cherry picked fake sources from across the internet and then

0:56:29.520 --> 0:56:32.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, put together a segment basically being like, oh, interesting,

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:35.640
<v Speaker 3>that's rich coming from you Nigeria.

0:56:35.960 --> 0:56:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:56:36.480 --> 0:56:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, they're also using the shorthand Islamist group means the

0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:43.040
<v Speaker 1>crusades against Christian people. It's like, do you know anything

0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:46.440
<v Speaker 1>about Boko Haram, Yeah, they just read about it.

0:56:46.600 --> 0:56:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Boko Haram has positioned itself against the Nigerian state as

0:56:50.080 --> 0:56:54.240
<v Speaker 3>an apostate entity, not against any single religious group. There's

0:56:54.239 --> 0:56:57.360
<v Speaker 3>no one motive behind the attacks. And not only is

0:56:57.400 --> 0:56:59.680
<v Speaker 3>it not a genocide against Christians, but the majority of

0:56:59.760 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 3>victim of armed group, of the armed group are Muslims.

0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:07.680
<v Speaker 2>It's sad man. No. Bokharm is a real problem. And

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:11.560
<v Speaker 2>it's like one of many of these kinds of paramilitary

0:57:11.800 --> 0:57:15.200
<v Speaker 2>groups that feed off of young kids and they go

0:57:15.239 --> 0:57:17.520
<v Speaker 2>into these places, they kidnap the kids and they raise

0:57:17.600 --> 0:57:21.400
<v Speaker 2>them up to be fighters and it's and it's just

0:57:21.440 --> 0:57:24.320
<v Speaker 2>really sad that this only comes up in the context of, oh, well,

0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:26.160
<v Speaker 2>you thought that what we were doing was bat how

0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:28.520
<v Speaker 2>come I don't hear you talking about this? And the

0:57:28.560 --> 0:57:32.160
<v Speaker 2>same thing goes for what's happening in Sudan. Man, it's devastating.

0:57:32.400 --> 0:57:35.160
<v Speaker 2>It's devastating if you're keeping up with what's happening over there.

0:57:35.400 --> 0:57:38.560
<v Speaker 2>But I only ever see it being talked about online

0:57:38.560 --> 0:57:40.240
<v Speaker 2>in the context of like, oh well, how come you're

0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:41.400
<v Speaker 2>not protesting your goods loose?

0:57:41.840 --> 0:57:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I just need I only find out about this

0:57:46.840 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 3>stuff when it's brought up by a major pop diva.

0:57:49.200 --> 0:57:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I need I need that.

0:57:51.880 --> 0:57:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, with questionable marital choices, Yeah, yeah.

0:57:55.480 --> 0:57:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I need a Lady guy got Away in on Sudan.

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting I'm sitting on my keep my powder dry

0:58:00.760 --> 0:58:03.360
<v Speaker 1>till Lady got and Olivia Rodrigo.

0:58:04.440 --> 0:58:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Olivia Rodrigo would be very interested to hear what she

0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:08.200
<v Speaker 2>has to say. I mean, she's younger.

0:58:08.200 --> 0:58:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like she probably has something to say. I

0:58:09.440 --> 0:58:10.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like the younger ones.

0:58:10.800 --> 0:58:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Definitely what a Suprina Carpenter said about that.

0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Serena Carpenter would be also interesting. I think she probably

0:58:16.320 --> 0:58:19.520
<v Speaker 3>prefers to get stay uninvolved. I just for some reason,

0:58:19.520 --> 0:58:23.960
<v Speaker 3>I can't not picture her as young Hillary Clinton anymore.

0:58:24.080 --> 0:58:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I saw that side by side, I was just like, damn.

0:58:27.040 --> 0:58:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I haven't seen that yet. I'm gonna look at it.

0:58:29.680 --> 0:58:32.000
<v Speaker 3>You know what, Miles, I'm gonna stick with my original

0:58:32.040 --> 0:58:34.120
<v Speaker 3>stance because one of the things for sure is that

0:58:34.240 --> 0:58:39.120
<v Speaker 3>absently and without uh information, accusing pop divas of things

0:58:39.120 --> 0:58:43.320
<v Speaker 3>never backfires on the internet. Yeah, Taylor Swift fans are

0:58:43.360 --> 0:58:46.640
<v Speaker 3>pretty cool and reasonable and don't don't get mad if

0:58:46.680 --> 0:58:49.240
<v Speaker 3>you if you're just like I don't know, they seem

0:58:49.320 --> 0:58:55.040

1:02:22.080 --> 1:02:23.120
<v Speaker 3>to say? You got something else?

1:02:24.680 --> 1:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>No, I was just thinking about what I was watching yesterday,

1:02:28.600 --> 1:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want.

1:02:29.160 --> 1:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>To admit that I was watching below decks was.

1:02:33.080 --> 1:02:37.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, and you haven't and you haven't admitting I was

1:02:37.400 --> 1:02:39.160
<v Speaker 4>lying when I just said that out loud.

1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>In addition to.

1:02:43.600 --> 1:02:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Our new format, Evergreen Daily's like some Monday morning about icons,

1:02:48.800 --> 1:02:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I've been enjoying a couple of tweets, Chateau tweeted, the

1:02:52.640 --> 1:02:55.360
<v Speaker 3>worst part of being a good listener is that people

1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:58.320
<v Speaker 3>get creeped out by the information I've retained about them

1:02:58.400 --> 1:03:01.880
<v Speaker 3>just from listening. You ever had that where you're like, oh, yeah,

1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:06.880
<v Speaker 3>you were in Texas like last year, and they're like, wow,

1:03:07.080 --> 1:03:09.480
<v Speaker 3>good memory, but like they get kind of freaked out

1:03:09.560 --> 1:03:11.720
<v Speaker 3>or like I feel like it's like a competit where

1:03:11.720 --> 1:03:12.480
<v Speaker 3>they're like, fuck.

1:03:12.320 --> 1:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where this guy was last year at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1:03:14.840 --> 1:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you know I have I have a memory like that.

1:03:16.800 --> 1:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It helps definitely in like business settings because they're like, yeah.

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>God, and you are my business man.

1:03:24.400 --> 1:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You're not a business in your business man, now, let

1:03:27.120 --> 1:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>me handle my business man.

1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>So I was enjoying that. I was enjoying. Uh.

1:03:31.520 --> 1:03:36.160
<v Speaker 3>So there was a newswork report Newswire underscore us Trump

1:03:36.400 --> 1:03:39.440
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't with Epstein all the time at all and

1:03:39.920 --> 1:03:43.880
<v Speaker 3>I hate you unemployed flop. Andrew Cuomo retweeted that and

1:03:43.880 --> 1:03:48.480
<v Speaker 3>said Tim Robinson as syntax, oh my god, all the.

1:03:48.400 --> 1:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Time at all, all the time at all?

1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow, and then no context Humans tweeted a video with

1:03:56.760 --> 1:03:59.920
<v Speaker 3>the tagline It's the simple things. It's just these kids

1:04:00.600 --> 1:04:04.920
<v Speaker 3>throwing an apple. They're like around a light pole that

1:04:05.080 --> 1:04:06.919
<v Speaker 3>has like a point on the top of the light

1:04:07.280 --> 1:04:09.640
<v Speaker 3>and they're just throwing an apple and trying to stick.

1:04:09.440 --> 1:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>It on the top.

1:04:11.240 --> 1:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>And then they get it and just the pure joy

1:04:14.120 --> 1:04:17.919
<v Speaker 3>like that they feel. Again, this goes with the things

1:04:17.920 --> 1:04:21.240
<v Speaker 3>we've been talking about about, just like pure mind numbing,

1:04:21.400 --> 1:04:25.160

<v Speaker 3>We also link off to a song that we think

1:04:51.920 --> 1:04:54.480
<v Speaker 3>you might enjoy. Miles, is there a song that you

1:04:54.520 --> 1:04:55.720
<v Speaker 3>think that people might enjoy?

1:04:56.520 --> 1:04:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there is. I was just listening.

1:05:00.920 --> 1:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>TikTok serves you all kinds of music, and there's like,

1:05:03.880 --> 1:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is a genre of like corridos that

1:05:05.960 --> 1:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>are called trap corridos, and this artist Junior h Is

1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>like fucking you know up there, And I think I've

1:05:13.640 --> 1:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>just realized too, because I listened to all kinds of

1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:17.919
<v Speaker 1>music like I'll listen to a lot of electronic music

1:05:18.160 --> 1:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and then you kind of need to hear people playing

1:05:19.960 --> 1:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>instruments and really just like kind of singing and shit.

1:05:22.760 --> 1:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>This is called Sad Boys to Dollar sign for the

1:05:26.120 --> 1:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>for the S and Sad Boys II like boys to Men.

1:05:29.520 --> 1:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, this is Junior H. Most people have probably

1:05:31.960 --> 1:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>heard this song. But if you haven't, just just familiarize

1:05:35.360 --> 1:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>yourself with a new genre of music that maybe you

1:05:37.120 --> 1:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>don't listen to as much.

1:05:38.080 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Because they're not singing in English.

1:05:39.600 --> 1:05:43.440
<v Speaker 3>So this is Junior H with Sad Boys too, all right.

1:05:43.480 --> 1:05:45.880
