12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Jamie. What is something that's out there in

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: the zeitgeist? Uh that that you think is incorrect based

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: on your personal experience? It's the human d uh. Yeah.

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: I think that people have been saying for a long

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: time hamsters are pet for children. But I think that

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: they're a pet for single adults. All right, Wait, that

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: they're inappropriate for children, like a children can't handle having

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a No, that's like it's like it's it's I think

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: it's like sort of an entry level pet for kids,

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: like I have. I have known so many like people

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: who when I say, let's let's just say in theory,

23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 1: I have a hamster that I'm literally obsessed with, and

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: uh and and every time I tell people that, they're like, oh, yeah,

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: I had a hamster in the fourth grade, but then

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: I accidentally lost it and it burned up in the sun,

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: or like terrible things happened to hamsters in the hands

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: of children every hamster store I know, and like it's

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: just about a child doing something terrible to a hamster

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: ordering it or the hamster doing Usually it's the hamster

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: doing something terrible. Hamsters adult women. Yeah, yeah, there you go.

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: I'm a hamster lady, not a cat lady. Yeah, I'm dignified.

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: My hamster was literally booked at the Hollywood Improblem last weekend.

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: That's good Hamster care legitimately booked, legitimately booked on the mainsta.

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: She got bumped the hamster. I don't know if THEO

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: van does a hamster joke and they were like, oh,

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: jam you got a hamster, your hamster, and then we'll

38
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: show the Avanna hamster will be very exciting. And I

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: was like, oh cool, my hamsters put it on the

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: main stage before I got hamster. Dude, my hamster will too. Yeah, exactly.

41
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: Let's get into the news. Uh, the Justice League's out today,

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: you guys. This is a big event movie, big tent

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: pole Uh came out. It is uh November, and you

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: know everybody's been marking that down their calendar. Justice League Day.

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm about Marvel. This is the tent pole movie that

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: most like snuck up on people. I think like people

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: were like, wait, it's it's out, like now, like that right?

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: I feel like The Wonder Woman just came June. And

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: also it's a weird time to drop a movie that

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: is clearly going to be critically reviled because all their

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: movies are except for a Wonder Woman and they didn't

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: bring the Wonder Woman director to do this. Uh, and

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: they're dropping it like at the beginning of Oscar season.

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it is like they should have been

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: like showing us previews for this and then it's coming

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: out in June or something. It was crazy because like

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: this is like a slow boil, obsessive pr campaign for

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: like like the last two comic cons, like they would

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: show like the things people like like losing their ship

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: and yeah, now we're here, and I feel like that

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: that momentum is definitely subsided a bit. Right. Also, it's

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: just weird that Aquaman is like just being his superpower

63
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: is now like just getting thrown around by stuff, like

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: because he's not like there's no water like in the

65
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: main battle. Like, So, I mean, this is all just

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: based on the preview, but it just seems like his

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: whole thing is they're just like, all right, let's throw

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Aquaman at someone or something. Um anyways, so the Rotten

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Tomatoes Rotten Tomatoes continues to be a magnet for controversy

70
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: for being just a site that collects reviews and like

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: has no editorial voice other than collecting reviews and uh,

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: in my conspiracy theory also like sort of changing whether

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: something is fresh or rotten depending on what's the number

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: where it becomes fresh. Really all right, well, I don't know,

75
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I I just I just asked the other

76
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: people around town. I'm like, what do you think, I mean,

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: most movies, I don't I'm not too excited to see anyway.

78
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: So you're a man of the people that are just

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: like I just get a lot of anxiety in a

80
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: movie theater there. Yeah, I don't know how I want

81
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: to frame it. Quite yet, but that's my favorite place

82
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: to be in the world. Movie theater. Movie theater. Well,

83
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm back into movie theaters now because like at Universal,

84
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: like every seat is a recliner. I'm here for that

85
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: kind of movie. I could probably endure any terrible film.

86
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: Like if I'm in like a nearly like horizontal state,

87
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm too fidgety. I'm a talker. I'm bed in the movie. Yeah,

88
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm a big talker. And every time I try to

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: find someone, I'm like, look, I'm actively seeking a movie

90
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: talker in the Los Angeles area to see movies with

91
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: me because people hate it. What are you talking about?

92
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: Are you like, wait, what's happening right there? Or are

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: you just like, yeah, oh so heita iron Man. Well,

94
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: because every movie is a superhero movie and they're all interconnected,

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: so I have is a lot of leaning questions and

96
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: like was this guy what his name is Chris? What?

97
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Because they're all named Chris and it's like very confusing.

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: So anyways, Rotten Tomatoes did not reveal that the Justice

99
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: League movie had a rotten score until at the moment,

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: uh right, So they delayed the reveal. They said it

101
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: was because they are launching their own sort of Ciskel

102
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and Ebert show where during the show it is revealed

103
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: what the count on the movie is, which seems like

104
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: it's just going to drive a lot of traffic to Metacritic.

105
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Um Like, it's the interesting idea to like sort of

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: make it an event where you like find out if

107
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: something's rotten or fresh. But Metacritic is already a superior

108
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: like agregator of reviews Alligator Alligator, it's a superior alligator

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: of reviews, and um so, I don't know, but uh,

110
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: the the conspiracy theory is that they're both owned by

111
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: the same giant mega company. I think it's Time Warner.

112
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: Uh so, like Time Warner owns Warner Brothers and they

113
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: also own Time Inc. Which owns Rotten Tomatoes. And so

114
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: the idea is that because they noticed that Justice League

115
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: was not getting good reviews, uh, they were like, all right,

116
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: well create this show just to like hold the score

117
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: back from the public. But I think it it'll it'll

118
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: do fine. I'm sure because it's like one of those

119
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: movies you think, just for the spectacle, people are just

120
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna be like, whoa all of them in one movie? Yeah,

121
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: And logistically people are going to need stuff to do

122
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: with their families this coming week. They're like, Oh, how

123
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: can I like not talk to these people for like,

124
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this movie has got to be forty five

125
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: hours long. Also, Oh my god, Batman Verse Superman was

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: so fucking long. I tried watching it three times and

127
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: I fell asleep. I'm not even joking twenty minutes in

128
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: each time, and I don't know how that happened. And

129
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: it's not look, I know, I'm like team Marvel, but like,

130
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: I honestly wanted to try and watch it all the

131
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: way through because I like the idea of Batman Verse Superman.

132
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it. Even wonder Woman, which is

133
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: like a great movie I really liked, is too long.

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: They're all too long. One man on the street, piece

135
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: of reporting that we can do. Four you folks being

136
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 1: out in Los Angeles. Uh two of the three people

137
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: on Mike here, I don't know. I actually haven't asked

138
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: my mouth. I have run into the actor who plays

139
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: Aquaman also plays cow Drag o O. Jason MoMA. Yeah yeah,

140
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: I met him like before he did Game of Thrones

141
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: and he was just like my friend's neighbor around the

142
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: dude is just like, yeah, I think he used to

143
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: live near UCB. Like Franklin. It feels like you're in

144
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: a room with a character for m a movie. When

145
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: you're around that dude. He's like giant and looks exactly

146
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: like he does in the movies. He is oppressively hot. Yeah,

147
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: just his eyelashes. I mean, I don't know if it's

148
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: latice or genetics, but I think it's genetics. I think that.

149
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: I think he's just incidentally like that. Why is everybody

150
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: so weird around me? Um? So? Yeah that so there's that.

151
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: Um But it seems like the movie is not that great.

152
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: We'll see. Should one of us go see it? Yeah?

153
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean we're gonna have to other movies that are

154
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: out this weekend. Roman j Israel esquire if the Denzel

155
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: My mom can't stop talking about that movie. She loves it.

156
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: She saw it. Yeah, it's it's hovering at fifty five,

157
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: which makes it rotten, but well, who knows. I think

158
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: she's also a Denzel fan, So yeah, who's not a

159
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Denzel fan? You have to community? Yeah, but she'll just

160
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: she'll ride with Denzel, like I think to the end

161
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: of the like, doesn't matter what the movie is, like

162
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: Oh it's great. It was great. Yeah, beautiful and fire

163
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: is great. That real stinky on the taking of Pellem

164
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: one two three, my mom has it on DVD is

165
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: a lot um and the new Pixar movie is unsurprisingly

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: at that earlier reviews are in and it's apparently which

167
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: one is that one? Very good Coco it is about

168
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: Day of the Dead type Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He

169
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: has a Day of the Dead aesthetic on the poster.

170
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: All of my information on this movie is coming from

171
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: the poster, right, Uh, there's a guitar that features heavily. Anyways,

172
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated? Underrated? Uh? Like your

174
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: first one? Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, okay, So I'm gonna go

175
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: ahead and take a step back and say that I

176
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: think Ryan Rayl just finally appropriately rated because I've been

177
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: a fan of Ryan's for so long and when I

178
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: mean when I saw Just Friends when I was a kid,

179
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: I was like, where where's his eight movie deal? Where

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: this is the funniest, most charismatic, It's amazing, And I

181
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: remember being like this is this guy is a star

182
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: and no one realized it as a kid. Yeah, kids

183
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: got something. This kid's got something. Yeah, I I thought

184
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: he was. I was expecting so many more comedy films

185
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: from Ryan Reynolds, and um, I don't think he got

186
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: appropriately rated until until Deadpool. Deadpool came out. Everyone was like, oh,

187
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: this guy at the star. I'm like, I've been saying

188
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: that for years. He doesn't disappoint honestly, right, it's it's

189
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: just always quality content. And then I think I personally

190
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: think that because he's so attractive, we're just like, it's

191
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: some hot dude. But now he's very talented and very funny.

192
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Do you think it's because he's so handsome people aren't

193
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: taking him seriously as like a comedian and be like,

194
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: that's a comedian, and now they're like, no, you're the

195
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: handsome guy. Yeah, I think I think so. I think

196
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: because I thought Just Friends was phenomenal. I thought he

197
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: was so funny and people were just like, that's a

198
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: hot dude playing the hot days like guys actually really

199
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,359
Speaker 1: funny comedic jobs. And he proved those chops in Deadpool comedically,

200
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: and you know, as an action starar. So I don't know.

201
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's correctly rated. Now, but

202
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: I think for a long time he was underrated. I

203
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: feel very weird about like, I have some weird feelings

204
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: about Ryan Reynolds because I'm like, I don't think his

205
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: wife is good enough for him, which makes meely lively.

206
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, she's not, like I agree, like because

207
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: she like did like she had like a fashion line

208
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: or something that was all about like plantation style, like

209
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: Southern style ship, and she wanted to get married on

210
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: a plantation and I was just like, you know, like

211
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: she doesn't seem I don't know, like Reynolds appropriate. Who

212
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: do you think is Reynolds? Who? Who is worthy of

213
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: a lot? Honest moura set. Wasn't that there first? Wasn't

214
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: he married to her at first? What? I don't know

215
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: about that ex fience. I had no idea. Yeah, so

216
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean that That's what I'm saying, Like he's like

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: the sort of dude who's like he seems smart enough

218
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: to like, I think you should be with Ryan. Like

219
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it, but you know, I know

220
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: what I know people have said that basketball you tossed

221
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: the lab up. Now let me alle you you should

222
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: be with Ryan Reynolds today's uh testimony with the House

223
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee was a mix of like Democrats like holding

224
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: him to the sword, and then Republicans sounding outrage but

225
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: asking like just really basic questions with the tone of outrage.

226
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: It's like, Mr Sessions, you would agree that a FISA

227
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: cord order wouldn't then just like tumbling, it's just something

228
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: about unmasking, which is like a total non thing um

229
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: while like other people like uh Karen Bass were like,

230
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: what about this report on the black identity extremists that

231
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: I think we actually have audio, don't you. Yeah, So

232
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: like for example, I think you know, Hakim Jefferies from

233
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: New York was asking, you know, like you know, why

234
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: don't you you know, later rest some of these accusations

235
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: against you? And you know, Jeff Sessions had a pretty

236
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: coherent response. Who's response, who's responsible for this? On warrant

237
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: to attack on? So you know, I think we should disclaimer.

238
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: I think c Span owns that clip, so yeah, yeah,

239
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: So he was definitely, uh, he was definitely got very

240
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: animated at times. So, you know, because Jeff Sessions his

241
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: testimony has evolved over the course of this year, although

242
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: he said my story has never changed. I'm just added

243
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: to it, which I think functionally means it's changing. It

244
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: is not. I'm but you ain't bleeding exactly, so I

245
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: should have just took that as an answer. But I'm

246
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna snowflake cup. That's not specific enough

247
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: for you, Yeah exactly, Um, yeah, it's I It's to

248
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: the point that I'm almost tired of seeing him sort

249
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: of like gasping for like answers, Like there was a

250
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: lot of a lot I can't. This one is very

251
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: interesting to watch slowly play out, because that's how just

252
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: this move is real slow. So he's been stuck in

253
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: this quicksand Jeff Sessions represents what I miss about the

254
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: political world that I developed, you know, came up in that.

255
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: I deeply disagree with his point of view. I think

256
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: his views on the world are detestable and really kind

257
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: of gross, but I respect him as an intelligent person,

258
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: and I think he actually has some respect for the

259
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: same institutions I respect. But it's we just have a

260
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: different worldview. I mean, I feel like the Trump's represent

261
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: this disgusting, stupid and like anarchy destroy everything good or bad.

262
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: They're just not I am not used to engaging with

263
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: that kind of perspective. I missed the George W. Bush

264
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: days where I just totally disagreed with a person politically

265
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: but didn't actually believe they were out to destroy us

266
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: all because somebody called him old, like you know that.

267
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I missed that, And it's amazing to watch Sessions, the

268
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: old Scott old style Republican caught in the old style

269
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: trap of justice. He's not stupid. Jeff Sessions is actually

270
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: a pretty like one on one is a decent person.

271
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: Just ask Al Franken. He is incredibly intelligent and he

272
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: knows that there's no getting out. He can't get his

273
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: legs out. He got his feet in by just endorsing,

274
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: and then the sand just started creeping up. And the

275
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: last time he testified, he knew he was waist deep

276
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: and it was over. And now it's just his little

277
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: dumbhead sticking up like, well I don't remember, Like, uh,

278
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: it's all about not remember I do not recall. Is Yeah,

279
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: we'll be on his tombstone. Yeah. I've been in Georgia

280
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: for two months. Atlanta is great except that it's a Georgia. Uh.

281
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: I had so much fun out there and it really

282
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: is a beautiful place. Um, but when I think about sessions,

283
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: I can't help think thinking about what it was like

284
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: to be there. Like I'm gay. You can read me

285
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: from a hundred yards away. It's pretty obvious. Uh, I'm

286
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: a big, giant lady with tattoos and short hair, like

287
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: you know. I feel like I was throwing up some

288
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: red flags when it came to the South, and I

289
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: try not to approach people with like fear in my

290
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: heart that they're gonna do something terrible to me, but

291
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: like it's hard not to, which is part of why

292
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: immediately after the election, I got a tiny dog and

293
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: I take that tiny dog with me everywhere. It's very

294
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: positive relationship. It's done wonderful things for my mental health.

295
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. But in the South and everywhere I

296
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: travel on a red state, I just let her lead

297
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: by like six inches, And that determines how people are

298
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: going to treat me more than anything they might assume

299
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: about my lifestyle or my person. So it would be

300
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: all these little old ladies like walking in rural Georgia

301
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: with my tiny dog, and people I would be terrified of,

302
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: especially older women, like hardened Southern older women who might

303
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: look at me and think, what the funk are you

304
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: doing in my town? Look at my tiny dog and

305
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: just melt into butter pats. Just look, Joel, look at

306
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: this Chinese? How old is this little Oh? Your kid? Oh,

307
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: she's just a darling. I would vote against your rights

308
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. Look at you, for you're gonna burn

309
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: in hell, bless your heart. Look at your tan and

310
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: dug And it's so confusing because these are people Jeff

311
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: Sessions reminds me of these people. There's kindness. They know

312
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: how to be kind, they know how to meet you

313
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: to your face and make you feel welcome. And I

314
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: don't know if they understand like that that yeah, but

315
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: I the person you're being nice to him, the person

316
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: who you don't want me to get married, and you

317
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna die in some hell fire or whatever?

318
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: Like how is who? How do you do that? Like?

319
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: How are you so kind at the micro level and

320
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: so cruel at the micro level. It's very confusing dichotomy,

321
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: and I'm still struggling with it as I travel around

322
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: the country, which I do for stupid work, telling them jokes.

323
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: I just don't It baffles me. And I'm so thankful

324
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: for my tiny idiot dog because for the most part,

325
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: what I see first in people's kindness and it sort

326
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: of dissipates some of the fear. But like, I don't

327
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: understand the Jeff Sessions. Who is the guy whose wife

328
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: knits blankets for the new children, like for anybody in

329
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: the Senate who has a grandkid or whatever, And who's

330
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: the guy who's like, I don't know, black people are bad?

331
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: I guess, like, who are you? How do you do that?

332
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: How could you createle a newborn black baby from somebody

333
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: that you know in the Senates and like treasure it?

334
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: And then that same day past some dumb lolls like

335
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, they smoke crack, and I guess they're bad. Yeah,

336
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: the South is a is a really beautiful, like mysterious,

337
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: interesting place with there's a lot of hateful people there too.

338
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: Midwest isn't different. Have some free to pie, I go

339
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: to church. I believe you're an awful sinner. Like it's not.

340
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: It's still freed o pie. Though. I just want to

341
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: translate the kindness to all over this country on a

342
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: micro level and encourage it to get a little bigger,

343
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: go a little backro with it. Do you think it

344
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: has anything to do just with the fact that sometimes,

345
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: like you know, meeting a gay person, it's like and

346
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: it's it's abstract to them, so it's easier to I

347
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: never understood that, like I did before. I drove through

348
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: rural Georgia. There is nothing there. It's gorgeously I'm really beautiful.

349
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: No advertisements, no billboards, no noise, no nothing except for

350
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: signs for churches. That's all that's there. Big billboards for churches,

351
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: signs pointing you to a church, and this picturesque, super

352
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: rural landscape. I've never been in a place that looks

353
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: less like television. They go home to this beautiful place,

354
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: they open their door and then they sit down like

355
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: the rest of us, and they watch stupid TV all day,

356
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: just like we all do. But their world is so

357
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: different from the world that we show them in media.

358
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: Like I live in Los Angeles. When I walk outside,

359
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: it looks like ten shows that I could watch at

360
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: any given moment, like down the street they filmed part

361
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: of Twin Peaks across the street from my heat Like

362
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: everything looks weird and surreal in real life to me.

363
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: But I never understood what conservative meant more than when

364
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: I was driving around in those towns, recognizing what people

365
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: are trying to conserve. Oh, I get it. A gay

366
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: bar here would be seriously different, because an apple beasts

367
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: here would be controversial, like you got a waste to

368
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: go in terms, but it wouldn't harm you. But I

369
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: understand how it would be like that. All everything you're

370
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: showing me is different and scary. Every time you turn

371
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: on the television, it's like, oh, yeah, I get it. Yeah,

372
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: Modern Family is probably a pretty alarming program for you.

373
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: I didn't. That never resonated as truly. I always thought

374
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: conservatives were just kind of like I did have a

375
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: bias or some assumption that it was some kind of meanness,

376
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: like something they just didn't get very which is why

377
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: they hate us liberal elites or whatever. They don't get it,

378
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: they don't understand, they haven't read Howard's Inn or whatever.

379
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 1: But I drove through where they live and saw who

380
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: they are, and like, yeah, we're you know, the media

381
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: certainly projects a different picture of what everyday life is

382
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: like from what I saw there. Yeah, for sure. And

383
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: I can see it being like, don't tell us we're dumb,

384
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: don't tell us we're idiots. Don't tell us we're bumpkins. Right,

385
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: they're not any dumber, that's for surely, they're they're very

386
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: smart people person right, that's true, like when when you

387
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: first meet them, like they are willing to give you

388
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt more than just about I

389
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: mean I did a thing in a Trump rally where

390
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: I was talking to people outside and know everyone was

391
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: kind at first until you begin talk talking politics. Like

392
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: most people, yeah, they will still they have that basic

393
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: humanity and everyone does. And again it's just again, people

394
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: have very different worldviews and it's easy to vilify or

395
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: create another when you haven't really met these people. And

396
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: it's flesh, and it's on both sides, you know, the

397
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: same for the way some liberals tend to just sort

398
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: of look at a conservatives like, oh, they're fucking dumb

399
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. You know, like we're people just

400
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: coming from very different realities and we're just trying to

401
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: This is the price of trying to reconcile these two things. Absolutely,

402
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: it's picking your poison. In Los Angeles, you could have

403
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: an interaction. It's like get out of my way, bitch.

404
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: I believe you should have every right that I do

405
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: in the South would be like please come in, I

406
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: would love to offer you dinner. And also your future

407
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: is eternal health fire like I don't know, I don't know,

408
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: very confusing. So the Philippines is one of the most

409
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: social media involved countries in the world, Like they're very

410
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: plugged in from social media perspective, and do Terrte is

411
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: also like really plugged in on social media, and I

412
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: don't know. They both have like there's just so many

413
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: similarities between them. Like a journalist in the Philippines, like

414
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago was like there's no such

415
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: thing as a slow news day in the Philippines. Since

416
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: du Terte arrived, then it's like, yeah, that is exactly

417
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: what Trump's rise was. Like, Uh, they both have like

418
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: a deep abiding hatred for President Obama based on like

419
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: a single perceived personal slug Like Obama had a single

420
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: meeting with du Terte and he like got really piste

421
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: about It's not totally clear. He spends all his weekends

422
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: on his home island, which is very like reminiscent of

423
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: marl Algo. It's like uncommon for the Filipino leader to

424
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: do that, but he is like, no, that's where I'm comfortable.

425
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: Um so I I feel like, I don't know. It

426
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: did make me wonder, is this like a personality type

427
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: that is just going to have an advantage in our

428
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: era of social media just like by being sort of

429
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: just filling up all channels with their you know, outsized

430
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: personality defects. Will that just be sort of how things

431
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: go until we alter whatever the algorithms or something. It's

432
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: hard to know, but I know, like initially he had

433
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: a really high approval rating, like but now like I

434
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: think they're what like like like sixteen months or so

435
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: into his presidency, like his support is starting to wane

436
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: because they're seeing like, yes, this is not well. I

437
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: mean I think so like to answer your question, yeah,

438
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: like a charismatic, rich piece of ship who doesn't really

439
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: do anything and only cares about his own interests and

440
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: is in power just to accumulate more power and money

441
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: like that. That's not a new type, but it's certainly

442
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: aided by the era of social media because now it's,

443
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: um it's harder to cover things up, So instead of

444
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: just being quiet about the murders and ship, you do

445
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: you just yell a bunch about other stuff and distract

446
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: people constantly, so they don't notice that you're uh, you know,

447
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: exploiting them, right, or you yell about your own murders,

448
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: but like make yourself sound tough. So people like again

449
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: this like in this time article, like it's it's a

450
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: very unique ecosystem that he's operating in because you know,

451
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: for example, the former president Joseph Estrada, he was sentenced

452
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: to life in prison for plundering like like almost like

453
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: more over eighty million dollars and then he was pardoned

454
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: by his successor, and now he's the mayor of Manila,

455
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: or at the time of the writing of this article,

456
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: he's now the mayor of Manila. And it gets like worse.

457
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: There was a congressman who was serving two life sentences

458
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: for raping in eleven year old girl, won re election

459
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: twice from jail and like was able to play tennis

460
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: on the court he built in like a maximum security prison. Okay,

461
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: Philippines is next level America. Yeah, it's like it's like

462
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: so like you know, so they're like ten years ahead

463
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: of us. This culture of impunity is I think there's

464
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: also like you know, combining that with his personality type,

465
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: it's just it sort of makes sense. Yeah, straight out.

466
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: Trump probably went there to be like, how can I

467
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: make this happen for me? Like, what do you you know,

468
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: hook me up? Dude? Yeah, it does. I do worry

469
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: about him getting some ideas, like it's okay, he can't

470
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: process anything, right. But going back to the Facebook thing,

471
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: like the guy who invented loud speakers and like just

472
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the idea of loud speakers in the early twentieth century,

473
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: like blamed himself for the rise of fascism because he

474
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, the fact that people were able

475
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: to project their voices into like huge groups of people

476
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: was essentially what led to the rise of fascism. So like,

477
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: I do wonder if we're sort of not paying enough

478
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: attention to you know, the role of Facebook and like

479
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: how social media allows you to just get uh allows

480
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: a person with a big, forceful personality to like just

481
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: get right into people's veins, you know. But going back

482
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: to uh, so this specific trip, it opened with to

483
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: Charite bragging about the first time he murdered someone. He said,

484
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: at the age of sixteen, I killed somebody. I stabbed

485
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: him only because our eyes met, uh, which which actually

486
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: kind of sounds like uh. The intro to liquid Yeah,

487
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: liquid swords. Fucking Trump probably pooped his diaper when right,

488
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: that's so cool? Uh and uh. It ended with do

489
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: terr Tey singing a song like a Filipino love song

490
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: that he claimed was requested by Trump. And I think

491
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: we have audio of that if I'm not mistaken. It's beautiful.

492
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: Really yea, please don't hurt us. So this is this

493
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: translates to you are the light in my world, A

494
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: half of this heart of mine. United said that was

495
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: at the request of the president, the commander in chief

496
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: of the United State, come under in chief. So this

497
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: sounds like a David Lynch movie, like this whole clip.

498
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: It could have come from sucking blue Velvet. Yeah, what

499
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: a terrifying party to be. Now, I got to pretend

500
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, you gotta laugh at that guy's jokes.

501
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: Woud you're the best boss. It's like that scene in

502
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: Sopranos when he like looks around and everybody laughing over

503
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: laughing and he's not sure if they're likes or like

504
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: he's actually killing it, right what I'm like a clown,

505
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: do you? Uh? But yeah, I mean going back to

506
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: like Obama would be very careful about just how he

507
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: like sat or how he shook the hand of another

508
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: foreign leader, because you didn't want to go too far

509
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: or not far enough in terms of how you conduct

510
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: yourself on like diplomatic visits. And Trump is like requesting

511
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: love songs and having love songs sung to him by

512
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to go down in history as

513
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: like one of the scariest, like most murderous dictators of

514
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: our time. It's because Trump doesn't look at himself as

515
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: a representative of the people of the United States or

516
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: the government of the United States. He walks around like

517
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: he's like he was voted most popular dude in America,

518
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: Like and that's like his responsibilities. Like hey man, we're

519
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: having a good time, Like I'll wear this weird shirt.

520
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: Like oh yeah, there were matching shirts. That's also worth

521
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: checking out. I mean, I'm sure that wasn't necessarily his,

522
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: uh his call, but they all are wearing fun matching shirts.

523
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna take a quick break and won't

524
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. What a break, What

525
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: a break? We have fun? Uh. So, we wanted to

526
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: talk about one of the sort of creepier things we've

527
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: come across on the Internet that is apparently taking up

528
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: a huge portion of the mind share of our fellow

529
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: human beings based on the view count. Uh so it

530
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: is a channel called Toy Freaks. Toy Freaks. Uh so

531
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: this is There's been some controversy on YouTube Kids lately.

532
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: The New York Times recently wrote an article where they

533
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: pointed out the some of the videos on YouTube Kids,

534
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: which has this filter that deems like whether something is

535
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: appropriate for kids or not. And then you know, I

536
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: have the YouTube Kids app on my phone, and you know,

537
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: when we need to you know, cut my son's nails

538
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: or like some very like difficult thing to get him

539
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: to sit still for, we will show him YouTube Kids.

540
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: And it's just like a long line of videos that

541
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: are cartoons or you know, educational in some way. Uh.

542
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: But New York Times pointed out that there were also

543
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: things that had somehow slip past the filter that you know,

544
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: featured familiar characters and grotesque scenarios. Uh do you believe

545
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: that on the Internet familiar characters and growth But like

546
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: one was the paw Patrol Dog, one of the pawl

547
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: Patrol dogs committing suicide. One with Spider Man urinating on

548
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: elsa from Frozen. Uh so like weird animated shit that

549
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: on the in the thumbnails, like, oh, it's like wholek

550
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: and Spider Man playing with us, and then when you

551
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: watch it, it's this like dark, like weird thing that

552
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: if you were a kid, you would just be mad confused. Right,

553
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: But um so there's another set of videos that is

554
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: apparently controversial that I forget how we even stumbled across it.

555
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: So YouTube has like gone through and tried to clean

556
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: up videos, but these videos, uh, the Toy Freaks account

557
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: still falls under the kids category. Um two, get you

558
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: in the right mind escape, Like imagine if John Waters

559
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: made a children's movie for seven dollars, uh, and you

560
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: kind of get the idea. It's like gross out humor,

561
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: weird costumes, like really over the top behavior, and it

562
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: generally just like feels like the sort of nightmare you'd

563
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: have if you like as your brain melted from one

564
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: eight degree either, Like it's just really really weird. Yeah,

565
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: And I think what's really kind of off about these?

566
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: Like so in this channel, specifically, toy review channels and

567
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: that genre of YouTube videos are very popular and mostly

568
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: it's like kids unboxing new toys and playing with them

569
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: and like other kids love watching that because it's pretty innocent,

570
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: because it's just like, oh wow, I'm watching this chasing.

571
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Then you start getting into these channels that like walk

572
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: this really weird fine line. So in this channel specifically,

573
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: it's this father. Uh we don't see a mother ever,

574
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: and it's and his two daughters they're like six and

575
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: eight are roughly, and the whole time, like he has

576
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: his daughters acting like babies, like they're wearing onesies and

577
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: have pacifiers and like pigtails, they throw tantrums um, and

578
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: one of their biggest videos. Uh. So it's kind of

579
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: like this odd line of like forced infancy where these

580
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: little girls are clearly not babies, but they're meant to

581
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: act like babies. And yeah, Lazy, you're looking at me

582
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: with the craziest looking Let's let's look at a clip

583
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: so you can kind of understand like what this is

584
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: even kind of about. Yeah, so Lacy is seeing all

585
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: this for the first time live reaction. Joe a blendered

586
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: hathway full of milk and now he's putting a banana

587
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: in it and calling it a banana shape. That's the

588
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: first time that Myles was watching this on his computer

589
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: I was like, why is Miles watching corn in the

590
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: office again? I look like I went to those court

591
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: mandated class stop doing that. But so a lot of

592
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: the imagery is just really, really fucking dark. So why

593
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: are we talking about this video? Because it is insanely popular.

594
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: One video where they go to a grocery store has

595
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: six and seventy million use. Uh. They go to a

596
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: grocery store and one of the girls exclaims that she

597
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: has diarrhea, so that's it also has like weird scat

598
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: humor and like weird sort of combinations of like baby

599
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: stuff but then like gross out stuff. Um. But to

600
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: put that in perspective, six and seventy million views, if

601
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: it were a TV show, it would be forty times

602
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: more popular than Game of Thrones, Right, and no one's

603
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: ever heard like no adult I mean I I I

604
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: did not know about this. Still, a friend of mine

605
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: pointed out to me, So this is, yeah, it's a

606
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: phenomenon that is has just gone completely under like the

607
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: radar of most people. Do we think these are kids

608
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: watching this? That's what we can't figure out. That's why

609
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: we are trying to figure out, like who is this four?

610
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Because yeah, like Lacy still has the craziest look on

611
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: her face. Look off my face. Oh my god, I

612
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: gotta take a shower, right right, that's who was this man? Pivot?

613
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: Now these a little porch and then they're like, what's

614
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: like spilling stuff on themselves? They like put it in

615
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: their mouth and then pretend to vomit and spit it out,

616
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: and it's like it it could be that like this

617
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: just my initial thought was maybe this is for a

618
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: very specific like developmental span in like children's development, like

619
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: maybe from twenty four months to twenty seven months, Like

620
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: your brain is just broken enough that this is like

621
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: what you need to see or something. Um, but all parents,

622
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: like the comments seem to be as baffled as us,

623
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: So we're like, it's not clear who's really watching it.

624
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: That's it's it's weird. So that's the thing is like,

625
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: because it hasn't translated to the zeitgeist at least openly,

626
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: like nobody really knows about it, it makes you wonder

627
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: if that's what's going on, if it's like secret like viewership. Yeah,

628
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: and I think you know, there are a lot of

629
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: people have talked about this channel, like the repealer As

630
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: Day has written about it on medium, which you know,

631
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: like to quote it. There they were saying, like a

632
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: lot of the activities in the video, which many many

633
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: viewers feel border on abuse and exploitation, if not cross

634
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: the line entirely, including videos of the children vomiting and

635
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: in pain. And there was another rite up staying that, like,

636
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, in these videos, there's a lot of disturbing content,

637
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: like they're just like this odd fetish vibe of like

638
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: fathers putting the young daughters under extreme pressure and pain

639
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: and stress and anxiety and just basically filming it. And

640
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: you know, like one of their latest videos at the

641
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: time was like the following his little girl into the

642
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: bathroom and film her. She's crying in severe pain with

643
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: like blood flowing from her mouth and her tooth coming out.

644
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: And another one is like he jumps to two girls

645
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: while they're taking a shower and dumps a bucket of

646
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: frogs into their tub, like filming them. And you know,

647
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: this is like weird voyeurism. I don't like the clothes

648
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: that were like baby thought clothes. Those pajamas were tight

649
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: as hell. I don't know what's happening here. They need

650
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: to get that many he has like a weird vibe

651
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: to like he's I don't know, I mean, he could like, oh,

652
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be so good, right, And at times

653
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: he has a pacifier in his mouth and he'll mimic

654
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: like the sort of like emotions of a child. It's

655
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: it's really really weird. And another thing too, is like

656
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: when you look at the tags, you know, some people

657
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: are suggesting that some of the tags and the videos,

658
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: like when you're searching the kind of align with B

659
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: D s M and fetish culture, like by using terms

660
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: like freak daddy and bad baby and these and the

661
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: end these and like these disciplined themes. It's just it's

662
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: a very very odd thing. And like, you know, but

663
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: the thing is with YouTube, because this is in considered

664
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: like a child category, they can monetize this kind of stuff.

665
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: And there, you know, if you look at websites like

666
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: Social Blade, who do like analytics on channels, some of

667
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: the estimates that their channels worth is between one point

668
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: two and sixteen point three million dollars AD revenue, So

669
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: like on the conservative end, they're making like a million

670
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: dollars a year. This looks like Lindsay Lohan childhood. Um, yeah,

671
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: it really seems I don't know, it's difficult to imagine

672
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: what things are like when the camera turns off, but uh,

673
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: it seems like it must be a very strange life

674
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: for for those kids. And this also kind of like

675
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: earlier this year, there was this whole controversy than May

676
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: of this channel called Daddy of Five where this dad

677
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: basically lost custody of his kids because his videos that

678
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: he was posting were like, he called him pranks, but

679
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: the courts were like, no, this is straight up child

680
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: abuse and you're calling it a prank, like really tormenting

681
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: his kids mentally, like having his sons like slap his

682
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: daughter and and like being like, oh, it's cool to

683
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: hit your sister, but like not all women, but if

684
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: it's your sister, it's fine. It was just very disturbing

685
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: and like like they got found out, and this is

686
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is all kind of a lot of

687
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: this stuff is now coming to the surface because already

688
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: their most popular video, I think it's been taken down

689
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: off YouTube. Yeah, the grocery store one where one of

690
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: the girls says she has diarrhea. I was assuming it

691
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: was because they actually go into a grocery store and

692
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: film in a grocery store, which is like the one

693
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: if you've ever made like a student film, you know,

694
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: the one thing you can't do. It was just like

695
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: show thousands of brands and like logos. Um. But and

696
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: they also go into a McDonald's at one point, so

697
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's why that one was taken down. Um. Also,

698
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: these kids don't have any rights to this material. It's

699
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: not like when you have kids in television where now

700
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: there's so many protections against them and trust funds and

701
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: stuff with money and things like that. No access to

702
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: any of this money. They're not in a union. Their

703
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: dad's just making all this money off of them, and

704
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: they're going to grow up with no consent of this stuff.

705
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: Like the real question is kind of like you know,

706
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: like are these actual just fetish videos masquerading around as

707
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: kids videos? Yeah? I mean another we compared to a

708
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, but to compared to some other YouTube

709
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 1: videos that have been extremely popular and have like made

710
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: a splash and the zy so double Rainbow everybody remembers

711
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: at the guy who's just clearly on mushrooms. I'm freaking

712
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: out about seeing two rainbows and Rebecca blacks Friday song,

713
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: those videos have forty four and a hundred and fourteen

714
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: million views respectively. Uh, these videos, like every one of

715
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: the videos, like so many of the videos just dwarf that,

716
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: like they a lot of their videos have more than

717
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: Rebecca blacks Friday song. I don't know. Yeah, our writer

718
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: j McNabb, who like went on a deep dive into

719
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: this and uh nearly lost his mind, was saying that he,

720
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, when he went and watched this, he got

721
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: an ad for Legos, presumably because his computer was listening

722
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: to him and he actually does collect Legos, but he's like,

723
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: does is this what Lego wants? Like do they want

724
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: their ads running before content? When he said the Lego

725
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 1: ad ran before a video where uh, the dad films

726
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: his daughter taking a pee on the other daughter because

727
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: she wets her pants while sitting on the other daughter's lap,

728
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: and then she's like, I'm gonna have to potty train her. Um.

729
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean again, there's a lot of fetish

730
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: videos that masquerade around is information. Like there's there was

731
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: another mom on YouTube who got under some scrutiny because

732
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: she has like a breastfeeding channel and they allow certain

733
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: breastfeeding videos on YouTube as like you know, informational, but

734
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: this woman would like breastfeed her kids and talk about

735
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: having sex or like telling people to like you know,

736
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: go to a PayPal to make like custom content. And

737
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: that was you know, people like this is just you're

738
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: exploiting your kids and like just very disturbing stuff. And

739
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: that the thing to'll go along with, like advertising on YouTube,

740
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: like they've had a very interesting year because you know,

741
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: earlier a lot of advertisers left YouTube because they didn't

742
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: realize their ads are being served in front of like

743
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: straight up like racist, like really inflammatory content. And they

744
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: were like, wait, we we don't We're not paying you

745
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: to serve our ads in front of this kind of thing.

746
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: And they acted down, and then a lot of creators

747
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: on YouTube were complaining that like, hey, this is taking

748
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: a shot to our revenue. And then now with this,

749
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I wonder if these companies who

750
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: are having their ads short on this would maybe take

751
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: a look at this and say do we want this?

752
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: But you never know because the way it works is

753
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: with these ads, like Google determines on which videos to

754
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: serve the ad just based off all of their information

755
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: they have, So it's it's not that Lego would say, hey,

756
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: I want this in front of it. It's because the

757
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: algorithm is like we can find someone who this fits

758
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: the demographic and their viewing habits on YouTube. This is

759
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: probably the best ad. I mean, I do. I do

760
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: keep coming back to the idea that this might just

761
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: be a home run for a very specific developmental like

762
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: bandwidth um, because the only other time I've been like

763
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: just floored by the number of YouTube views on something

764
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: was just this really terrible series of like computer animated

765
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: things that were like kids songs computer animated, uh, and

766
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: They're terrible, and to the point that I was like,

767
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: now we're not showing them, this will just show Sesme Street.

768
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: And I guess that's one thing if if that's what's

769
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: going on, and like parents are showing their children this

770
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: because they're like entertained by that. Like children are also

771
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: entertained by things that are developed by actual professional child

772
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: psychologists and you know, experts like Sesame Street and you

773
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: know a lot a lot of children's entertainment that is

774
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: like by the professionals. I feel like that's one place

775
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: where it might make sense to actually kind of keep

776
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: that barrier of entry up a little bit. So that

777
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: we're only dumping stuff into our kids brands that has

778
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: been sort of filtered through somebody with some expertise. Yeah,

779
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: not older kids play acting like their babies and like

780
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: in just really odd directed by an adult. It's not

781
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: even like the kids are coming up with this stuff

782
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: like and that's what's sick to me about. It's like,

783
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: is he telling that the daughter to pee on the

784
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: other daughter? Like what I mean not that like like

785
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: she's actually peeing, but like it's you know, it's made

786
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: to look like, you know, she wet her self while

787
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: sitting on her sister's laugh or whatever. So it's just

788
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: all like the situations are weird. Yeah, like it So again,

789
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: it walks is very fine line of like, yeah, you

790
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: could see it as this guy just has a weird,

791
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, aesthetic sense for his videos. And also who

792
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: knows if this is serving a darker purpose. So yeah,

793
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: So we'd love to hear from you guys, anybody who

794
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: is familiar with us and who has watched it and

795
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: has some familiarity. We won't judge. We're just curious, like

796
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: who who's watching this and why this these videos have

797
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: so many views or if uh, you're the guy who

798
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: makes them. Uh you weirdo. Um, let let us know.

799
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: We're we're just curious. We won't judge. You can get

800
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: us at the Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram or at Daily

801
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: Zeitgeist on Twitter. Uh, and then our Facebook pages the

802
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: Daily Zeitgeist. So yeah, we are curious. But it makes

803
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: it makes sense why you think it's a like developmental

804
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: sweet spot because too fully formed adults watching it. We're like,

805
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: this is fucking weird. Yes, yes, I think it's because

806
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: it's being made by a fully formed adult. If this

807
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: was like two girls with a camera and they just

808
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: let them run free and then someone uploaded it to

809
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: the Internet, I'd be like, oh, yeah, totally kids. But

810
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: the fact that there's a grown as man in the bag,

811
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you don't know that's that's not it's yeah,

812
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: it is. It's coming from an adult, an adult gaze.

813
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: Uh yes, So I mean I guess it's just another

814
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: example of what we were talking about earlier, with you know,

815
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: Twitter having to call the heard of people who they've verified.

816
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, the internet in theory great, and

817
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm always pro free speech, but there are these uses

818
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: of the Internet that are bubbling up that are are

819
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: pretty troubling, and you know, I might need to get

820
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: dealt with all right, So we're gonna take a quick

821
00:45:54,239 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. I'll get it out

822
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: there right now. I told her girl, I loved her,

823
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: and I didn't just have sex u as bad as

824
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: my dad, to know what you do when you didn't

825
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: die like and we're back. Another great break by the one,

826
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: another great break. So all right, we have a couple

827
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: of updates from stories from earlier this week. The Meek

828
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: Mill story we talked about, um, how he had this

829
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: like wacky judge who was harassing him, trying to get

830
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: him to re record boys to Mends on bended knee

831
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: and uh just do all this strange ship. Jay Z

832
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: wrote an op ed talking about this story in The

833
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: New York Times today, And there are a couple of

834
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: details we missed, so uh, you know, we had heard

835
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,919
Speaker 1: that he had been arrested in the last year, which

836
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: were violations of his probation, which sounds bad, um, But

837
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 1: so one arrest was for an altercation out of St.

838
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: Louis Airport, but when video of the altercation was released,

839
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: all charges were dropped because it clearly wasn't his fault,

840
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: and then he was arrested for driving recklessly in New York,

841
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: which I imagined he was. They said it was for

842
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: popping a wheelie on a dirt bike. I imagined he was,

843
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, doing wheelies in Times Square, like in the

844
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: middle of traffic. Uh. No, it was actually on the

845
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: set of a video during a video shoot. He uploaded

846
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: a video of himself doing a wheelie to Instagram and

847
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: a cop was following him and like watching his Instagram

848
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: and saw the video and you know, used that to

849
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: arrest him. Like so they're clearly out to get this dude.

850
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: Like the judge, who is we've already talked about, is

851
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: crazy and just looking for any excuse to be in

852
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: a room with Meek Mills so she can tell him

853
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: who she thinks as manager should be. She was trying

854
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: to get him to switch management to like a friend

855
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: or a relative of hers. Uh, she is actively fucking

856
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: with him. And jay Z's editorial was about the fact that,

857
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, probation is used to a lot of the

858
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: time harassed black men, Like he said, as of two

859
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen, one third of the four point six five

860
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: million Americans who were on some sort of parole or

861
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: probation were black, which is obviously way disproportionate to how

862
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: many black people there are in the country or like

863
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: what portion of the population they are. UM, so I

864
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: don't know. He says, black people are sent to prison

865
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: for probation and parole violations at much higher rates than

866
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 1: white people, which you know isn't surprising, but it's still

867
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: pretty troubling. And you know, so this meek Mill story

868
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: also seems to be about a bigger kind of trend

869
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: in the justices, and there's some studies actually just came

870
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: out I think this week, just confirming what most people

871
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: already knew that uh, men of color are inordinately faced

872
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: much higher sentences than their white counterparts. So this is

873
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: the second time that Meek Mill has been sent to

874
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: prison for parole violations. So jay Z points out that

875
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: meek Mill was around nineteen when he was convicted on

876
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: charges relating to drug and gun possession, and he served

877
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: his entire eight months sentence, so he did his time. Uh,

878
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: And jay Z says, now he's thirty, so he's been

879
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: on probation for basically his entire adult life, and with

880
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: this infraction, the judge sent him to prison, but the prosecution,

881
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: the prosecutor in the case, which prosecutors are not known

882
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: for being like friendly. Uh, the prosecutor recommended no additional

883
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: jail time. They were like, no, this is not a

884
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: big deal, and the judge sent him away to prison. Uh.

885
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: In two thousand and fourteen, the judge ordered him to

886
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: take etiquette classes. Uh. He was jailed for five months

887
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: for uh like some perceived slight and uh oh it

888
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: was because he performed out of state without her permission,

889
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: and you know, he's trying to make a living as

890
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: an artist. Uh. And according to meek Mill, he spent

891
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: much of that five months in solitary confinement, which will

892
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: do a future segment on solitary But just according to

893
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: everybody who knows stuff about like human torture, uh, that

894
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: that is like the worst thing you can do to

895
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: a human being. And he was sent to solitary confinement

896
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: for months at a time because he uh performed out

897
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: of town and this judge was trying to right. Um.

898
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: One bit of good news for meek Mill is apparently,

899
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: uh the judge has set a bail hearing for him

900
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: on November, so he may be allowed to be freed

901
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: on bail pending appeal after you Yeah, I w you

902
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: have to imagine that's something to do with it. Well, yeah,

903
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: I mean because you know, it's been reported that the

904
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: FBI was investigating this judge because of her asking Meek

905
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: Mill to switch his management companies, as like they're viewing

906
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: that as like in extortionate demand, so that I feel

907
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: I can't do that when you judge it that way,

908
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: because it is um So that's cool of the judge

909
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: to consider letting him go after he's spent Thanksgiving in prison.

910
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it. For this experiment in

911
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist, hope you enjoyed it. Uh. We will

912
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: be back on Monday the with a brand new guest

913
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:41,760
