Speaker 1: a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple

50
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: of the things we're talking about today, Uh, such as

51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: the Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, so that means it

52
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: is our time to revisit the films. I like to

53
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: do a five year window, look back at what what

54
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: has lasted? What would get the award if they allowed

55
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: allowed movies to sit for five years, which I think

56
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: is a better way to award worth in the in

57
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: the film industry. We're gonna talk about Biden's tax plan. Uh,

58
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that BuzzFeed quiz that tells you how

59
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: old you are based on food preferences. Talk about the

60
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: NBA dynasty, Oreos, all of that plenty more. But first, Kenny,

61
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guest, what is something from

62
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are? Uh? Well, So,

63
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: first of all, I use Ekosha. Do you guys know

64
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: about e Kosha? That's the search engine I use. I

65
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: encourage everybody look into it. E C O, S, I A.

66
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: They don't track your data and for every search they

67
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: plant a tree, so they are benevolent people. I use

68
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: you Kosha, and you're gonna say, like when you're spelling it,

69
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: I was being like, please don't say E C O,

70
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: C I A, ecosia, check it out a dot org

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: and you don't want to all of your secrets. Yeah yeah,

72
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: but I The most recent search was Astral Projection. I

73
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: watched the show. I don't want to say, I don't know.

74
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: Yeah it really was yeah, yeah, but I won't say

75
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: what it is either watched the same show probably Yeah.

76
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: I watched it last night. We watched three episodes and

77
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: I was like out on it. So I just read

78
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the plot summary for the last three episodes and I

79
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: was like, what the fuck. I had to like check

80
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: multiple times to make sure I was reading the plot

81
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: subary for the for the Right show, because wait, what

82
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: are y'all talking about? We can't tell you the show

83
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: because it's so out, like far from what it advertises

84
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: itself as and far from what it is for the

85
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: first three episodes that we I can't. I can't tell you.

86
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: It's even worse than marketing. People didn't search astro projection, uh,

87
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: plot twist, and they'll find out what it is. But

88
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to funk anybody up. If they don't,

89
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: it is a spoiler to know what we're talking about it.

90
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: So now you got me being like, what the funk you?

91
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: I want to know the fuck justin you can bleep

92
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: this and uh and and we'll say it right now. One, two, three?

93
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Did you see the trailers for this?

94
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: Okay that I loved it. We loved it. My girl

95
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: and I watched it in at night. Yeah, like it

96
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: was like the first time I've been up until five

97
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: in the morning since I was in my twenties. I

98
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: just was. And that's with the help of daylight savings.

99
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: That's with the yeah, I mean, yeah exactly. I got

100
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: the assists, got the Farmer's Almanact with the assists exactly

101
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: keeping me feeling young. But yeah, so I was. I

102
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: was researching that how to do that? If it's actually

103
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: how to do it? Yeah, would would you learn? Uh?

104
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: It sounds like I met some pretty trippy people though

105
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: on the internet. That's exactly right. Yeah. Yeah, it also

106
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: like opens up. It feels like the sort of thing

107
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: that like has such limitless potential that there should just

108
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: be an entire genre of like movies about that, because

109
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: like at a certain point it's like, oh, so this

110
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: person is that person and that you know, you just

111
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: get to this is so confusing. I'm like, I have

112
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: to watch this ship now. The way you're talking, it's wild.

113
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I asked for a Projection guest but okay,

114
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: but just without the spoilers, given that the show is

115
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: good though, even though it took it took you, so

116
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: it took a turn you didn't know it was advertised.

117
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Jack was obviously not into it. I was not into

118
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: it in the sense that I knew my wife was

119
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: going my wife was going to stay up all night

120
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: watching it, and I was not. I did not want

121
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: to do that, so I just read through the end.

122
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I do that sometimes for for my own sanity. Sometimes

123
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: there's a thing if you're watching the show in bed

124
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: and it's like I'm gonna keep going and you're like

125
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: leave me. Yeah, I don't have the energy and you

126
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: were clearly turned up on this and I'm not. So yeah,

127
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. It was just like the

128
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: it was one of those shows because I'm a lot

129
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: of people like this, But when I watched the show,

130
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure it out. You know, we're hitting pause,

131
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: We're like, all right, here's what I think is happening.

132
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: Here's what I think. And the fact that it was not,

133
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean I was I might finish it. I might

134
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: finish it still because it really does like give new

135
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: context to some of the performances, Like some of the

136
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: performances are like better than I realized before, because the

137
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: whole time we were like, well would he really be

138
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: like that? You know, we're like, oh right, right, okay, yeah, yeah,

139
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: this might be the most incomprehensible, like five minutes of

140
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: this podcast we've ever done. But it's it's still it's

141
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: it would be incomprehensible if you had watched the first

142
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: three episodes and head and google the ending So, Kenny,

143
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? I feel like

144
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: the impact of Twitter, that's something I've learned. Like things

145
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: keep happening on Twitter, and I'm like, oh my god,

146
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: and then I'll talk to someone that's not on there

147
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: and They're like, what are you talking about? No one knows.

148
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: I went on the road last fall and I was like,

149
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: I had all these jokes about stuff on Twitter, and

150
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: people in Ohio We're looking at me like I was

151
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: from a different planet. They were like, we don't. We

152
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: watched the local news. What is this? Mr potato heads

153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: has a gender? What are you talking about? You know?

154
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: No one cares about people on Twitter talking about and

155
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: so um and like this whole thing is being like

156
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: cancel culture. It's like, yeah, you're canceled on Twitter to

157
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: like two thousand people that don't leave their house. No

158
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: one cares. Everyone's fine, you know. Yeah, it's interesting to

159
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: see that the difference of like how people look at

160
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: the things that are happening on Twitter as it relates

161
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: to like outside I r L reality and the stark

162
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: contrast in it is really something. I think it really

163
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: you think it's really good to like embrace the fact

164
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: how overrated is in the context of if you have

165
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: like social media induced anxiety, Like if you're on Twitter

166
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: and you you start being like, oh shoot, I'm doom scrolling.

167
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: I think the whorldst get off that ship for a

168
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: second and remind yourself you live in the real world

169
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: and go talk to people like in your community. Like

170
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: that's that's the realist ship to Twitter you have, because

171
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: those are people you will rely on at some point,

172
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: not fucking avatars who are like right. And that's like

173
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: another thing I learned that tour. I was in the

174
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: middle of the country and if you like read Twitter,

175
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: everyone in the middle of the country is a racist idiot,

176
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: and you like go out thinking that and then you

177
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: do shows and people are like thanks for talking about

178
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: that stuff or I don't know. It's just like it's

179
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: not as stark, it's not as black and white as

180
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: Twitter makes life. Yeah, it definitely helps contribute to that

181
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: cruel world syndrome that people can get and I think

182
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: especially when in a year like the last one we've

183
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: had where we've unfortunately not had the ability to go

184
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: out into physical space that much and connect with people

185
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: on that level. Yeah, that's that's a good point. Of too,

186
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: why the trauma of this year is like part of

187
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: it is induced by the media we consume, whether that's

188
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: broadcast media or social media. Yeah, I feel like Twitter's

189
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: use right now is to like bubble up stories that

190
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: then the mainstream media might find useful. Like the Dr

191
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: Seuss thing uh that we're going to talk about later

192
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: would have in any you know, ordinary universe, been a

193
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: story that just existed on Twitter. But because the Fox

194
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: News kind of ecosphere needed a story to focus on

195
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: and drown out another story they didn't want to talk about,

196
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: it became like a thing that I feel like everybody's

197
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: heard about, right, And I think, yeah to your point though,

198
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: to Jack of like surfacing stories, it's like depending on

199
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: the ideological bend of something, it's like it's basically ground

200
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: zero for the culture wars. Like all the culture war

201
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: stories are mostly extracted from Twitter on some level, like

202
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: aside from like policy things. But there are a lot

203
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: of things that are coming out of discourse on Twitter

204
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: that then evolved into some larger culture war point. And

205
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: then you have Doctor Studs that's gotten canceled and it's

206
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: because one person pointed out some shit about it earlier,

207
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: and that tweet blew up and that that that that

208
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: so there drowns out the good part, like because also

209
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: there's been some great things, Like to your point about

210
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: bubbling stories, I don't think police brutality gets the traction

211
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: that it has gotten without social media, without Twitter, without

212
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: real time. But then everybody wants to be involved, and

213
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: so people start bubbling up their story and it's like, not, now,

214
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: let's can we focus on Can I focus on this?

215
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't need to know. I don't need to talk

216
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: about dr suits. Yeah, what's something you think is underrated? Uh?

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: Listening to music in the shower? I think it's really

218
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people like quiet time in the shower,

219
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: which I get it, But as somebody who battles my

220
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: own brain every day, there's something really valuable about just

221
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: putting a waterproof speaker in the shower and just like

222
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: turn it on some Rick Ross and just getting someone

223
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: your confident energy pumping into your life to start your

224
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: day and sets the tone. Man, I listen to Upbeat Happy.

225
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: I saved my sad boys ship for the end of

226
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: the day and the morning. It is all you got

227
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: this do? Beyonce on Let's go your Sativa music that's right.

228
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean the night you come to emo tracks, the

229
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: darker put you to bed and some sad boys. Right,

230
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: so you got Rick Ross pumping with Chevy Ride and

231
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: High Remix while you're lathering up absolutely all day, all day.

232
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if he claimed king and he claimed best,

233
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: then I guess you can call me God. Great opening

234
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: line from Push Your Tea on that track. I don't

235
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: listen to music enough in the shower. Actually I realize, Yeah,

236
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: that's why I don't. I don't listen to music enough period,

237
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: So shower would be good. Although shower is the one

238
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: time and this is why I will like put off shower,

239
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: bad bad window into my life. But this is why

240
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: I will sometimes put off showers on the weekend or

241
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: just at any time, like when I don't have to

242
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: see anyone. Is like, because it's the one time that

243
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: my brain is just quiet and like to itself, and

244
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: because I have anxiety, like I'm just like, oh that

245
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: might be too much. Ye just stay here, just stay here,

246
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: just stay just stay here. Everything's good right here? Yeah,

247
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: uh honey, because you hold my phone up to the

248
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: shower window for me, that would be great, thank you. Um,

249
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: you don't listen even in the house, like you don't

250
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: have I mean what you have the children's or yelling

251
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: for the devices to like play their own Yeah. Man,

252
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot of it's a lot of Alexa play

253
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: p J masks song like theme song twenty times a day.

254
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean I do listen to music, it's

255
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: just not enough. And when I do, I'm like, God,

256
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: I love music. Yeah. I feel like that happens a

257
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: lot too, like when we whenever, like I'll play music before,

258
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, a quick glimpse into the show, like before

259
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: we start recording or something. I'll place and be like, Yo,

260
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: what what's that? Who? Who does that? Who is that? Oh? Wow?

261
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: Okay that that? Yeah. Sometimes I feel you're you're coming

262
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: in from the desert of lack of tunage to drink

263
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: from the oasis of like passive background music. Kenny, is

264
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: there something that you think is an underrated driver of culture,

265
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: like when you're out there, Because that's something I'm always

266
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: fascinated by with stand ups who are actually out like touring,

267
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: experiencing the people firsthand, that you guys have a unique

268
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: perspective on like what what resonates and what doesn't like

269
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: what people are are feeling, um do you do you

270
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: feel like there's something that's a underrated driver of culture. Honestly,

271
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: probably music. I mean not to stay on that topic,

272
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: but like I think about when Childish Gambinos This is

273
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: America came out, you know, and that was like I

274
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: was on the road during that time, and it's one

275
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: of those songs you don't know if you're gonna hear

276
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: it everywhere, and everywhere I went. I heard it in

277
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: the bar, you know what I mean? And I heard,

278
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: um Jason Isbel who's one of my favorite artists, like

279
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: a folky like American artist, in an interview one time,

280
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: talk about how you go home to Alabama and before

281
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: the country act would go on stage, the crowd was

282
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: listening to like two Chains on the jukebox, and it's

283
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: like that's the stuff that I think is bringing us

284
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: all together, you know what I mean. Like music is

285
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say purely benevolent, but like it brings people together,

286
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: and it brings people's guard down in a way that

287
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: other mediums don't, and so things get in there and

288
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: impacts people in ways. So yeah, I think music is

289
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: is kind of underrated for its cultural impact. You know

290
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean because you even look at like

291
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: there was that one guy on the sixth who is

292
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: shooting a rap video at the insurrection, this Maga rapper,

293
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: like and you're like, damn, you're there on behalf of

294
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: white supremacy, but you are taking black culture and you

295
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: are you are speaking your truth. You're fucked up truth,

296
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: albeit but like through black like sir, like did you

297
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: did you? Can you take a second here? You might

298
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: be on the wrong side, but it's a yeah, it

299
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: really is. There's something about music that has this ability

300
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: to like because it's like just rhythm. It's just like,

301
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: oh shoot, I'm nodding to this, and now you're like

302
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: you're nodding, you're like a bringing to the music and

303
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: you're like uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh.

304
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: And I think fellow Kuti, who was one of my

305
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: favorite musicians, he said it very perfectly. He said music

306
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: is the weapon of the future, like in a very

307
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, philosophical sense, but it's true. Like you know

308
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: what he as a in Nigeria, the way he was

309
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: bringing to people together with his music, how is that

310
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: be saw that as like an organizing threat too, But

311
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: it was through music. Um, yeah, there is something super

312
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: powerful and that and it's uncontrollable too. I think in

313
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: our world, where uh, you know, people crave authenticity and

314
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: like marketing always immediately like infiltrates every cultural movement or

315
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: tries to there's something like kind of unfathable about music

316
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: and like people tend to I don't know. That's something

317
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: I thought about when uh, people were like, well, during

318
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, there's gonna be like all these protests

319
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: songs that come out, and it was like, not really,

320
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: but it'll be like more about the the vibe of it.

321
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: But it just seems like things move differently than people

322
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: ever expect them to, and just the expectation that something's

323
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: going to happen almost makes it like, well, that's not

324
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen now that you put it out there, it's

325
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: and even at your point, Miles about the weapon in the

326
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: the future, I just I was thinking about this recently.

327
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: But when I was a kid, I got a Tupac album.

328
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: I was like probably twelve or something, and I still

329
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: remember the first time I heard Brenda's Got a Baby.

330
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: I had never heard that song before, and I'm just

331
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: like a white kid in Missouri and the comfortable last suburbs,

332
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I heard Brenda's got a baby, and

333
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: it was like, whenever this sort of like civil rights

334
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: movement of our modern time was starting, I I kind

335
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: of remembered that moment and I was like, it just

336
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: opened up my eyes to this other world that I

337
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: had no access to, you know what I mean. And like,

338
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it made me ready for this moment,

339
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: but it gave me a jumping off point. I already

340
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: had at least like an idea that there was people

341
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: that lived differently than me and had hardships that I

342
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: would never understand, you know what I mean. And it's

343
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: so kind of like put me in a place of

344
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: empathy at a young age that I wouldn't have had otherwise.

345
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: And then in your teenage years, like you kind of

346
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: just like any music about a struggle in general, even

347
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: if it's not yours, like, but if it's like kids

348
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: in the hood who are just struggling, you'll take that,

349
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: even if you're comfortable as suburban teen and you're like,

350
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: my parents are getting divorced. So yeah, this gun talk

351
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: is resonating right now on some level that it begins

352
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: to like sort of d or like it it de

353
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: obscures or the obscurity is lessened when you can actually

354
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: be like right there, we all have these different experience

355
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: but on some level, like I'm tapping into a thing

356
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: that might not be a one to one comparison, but

357
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: you'd hope creates more empathy. Yeah, and there's certainly the

358
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: ability to like you know, it gets then boiled down

359
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: and then like corporatized and then it like comes out

360
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 1: as like uh it. But I I feel like just

361
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: in terms of what just talking about, like the authenticity

362
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: and like the direction things move, Like the the direction

363
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: is never like prescribed by the powers that be. It's

364
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: them always like trying to react to the reaction the

365
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: direction that like energy is moving, and then they find

366
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: a way to like make a bullshit kind of water

367
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: down version of that direction, and then by the time

368
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: they figured out it's moved on in a different direction.

369
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

370
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back and uh one oscar nams

371
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: have been announced people who have seen all the movies

372
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: this year, which I think they're probably more of those

373
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: than in your average non pandemic year. Seem uncommonly happy

374
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: with the list, Like there's definitely some snubs that people

375
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: are mad about, Regina King not getting nominated for Best

376
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: Director when a lot of people were saying, like the

377
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: performances in One Night Miami was were like the best

378
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: directed acting performances of the year. But just generally it

379
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: seems like people are more pleased overall, And I think

380
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: it probably has something to do with like I was

381
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: just thinking about the Academy overall as a instrument for

382
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: recognizing movies, Like they haven't expanded the number of people

383
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: in the Academy, like with the number of movies that

384
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: are coming out. So in the year two thousand there

385
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: were three hundred and eighty movies that came out. This

386
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: year it was three twenty nine because the pandemic in

387
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: one it was like sixty one hundred and seventy three. Um,

388
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: but now like last year it was like in the

389
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: eight hundreds. Yeah, So it's just they're they're releasing way

390
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: more movies and the Academy doesn't have the ability to

391
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: go through all of them and like figure out which

392
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: ones they like the best. So it then goes down

393
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: to which studios have the money to pay for a

394
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: media campaign and then like review aggregators and all these

395
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: different like sort of sorting mechanisms that really don't have

396
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: anything to do with the quality of the movies necessarily,

397
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: so bringing it back down to a manageable level. It

398
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: makes sense to me that they would do a better

399
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: job this year than in years past. I mean, is

400
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: it a is it a coincidence they have the time

401
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: to look at things. And then we finally get to

402
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: Asian Actors nominated for Best Actor with Rizzo met and

403
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Stephen You and I'm like, oh yeah, and I'm part

404
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: of me goes, I need to start watching movies. I

405
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: took this whole fucking year off from movies. I just can't.

406
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: It's a it's been a weird part of my subconscious

407
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: that like I've not been able to like normalize about

408
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: being Like, aside from watching Wonder Woman eighty four and Soul,

409
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: those are the only things that were like new releases

410
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: that I've caught, but those are the new ones. You

411
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: need to see. Those are But I'm taking ls on

412
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: everything else, Like, I mean, I'm gonna watch them, but

413
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: it's weird. I've just been whatever this subconscious block is.

414
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's like every year because the

415
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: awards are gonna come around, I have to get up

416
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: on ship. So I'll definitely check it out. But um yeah,

417
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: it's just maybe maybe because it was more manageable. I

418
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: felt like it was I was overloaded. I don't know, Yeah,

419
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: for sure, and I mean we're it was it was

420
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: just a funked up year for sure. I don't know,

421
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 1: was it. I don't know. I feel like I'm being

422
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: a baby, you know, like being hard on yourself. Man. Uh,

423
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: but that's what I do want to uh spend the

424
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: next month rather than like you know, figuring out what

425
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: deserved it and what didn't this year. I think we're

426
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: too early in the life of the movies to figure

427
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: that out. I like to look five years ago and

428
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: what one what was nominated, and what actually has lasting power.

429
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: So these are the movies of two thousand fifteen that

430
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: were awarded in it was ther Spotlight one for Best

431
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: Picture and Matt Max Fury Road was probably one of

432
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: the most overall Academy Awards, but it was a bunch

433
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: of technical things. So that that's something that I don't

434
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: know if we if we could get some Zeitgang participation

435
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: I'd love to love to hear just people's overall impressions

436
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: at me on Twitter of like, what what you think

437
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: we're some underrated movies that have a big cultural impact

438
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: from uh the year is inside out count Yeah? Inside

439
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: Out counts. I think I think Animated is Animated is underrated? Uh,

440
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: comedy is underrated? Uh. In terms of just the the

441
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: oscars have this tendency, I think I think it's like

442
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: that mechanism that I was talking about before, where it's

443
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: the studios have a sense of what an Oscar movie is,

444
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: and so they like focus all their money and energy

445
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: on like that type of movie when they're like getting

446
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: it in front of voters. But yeah, there's there's not

447
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: like a huge comedy this year that would have that

448
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: would have jumped out to me, But like Melissa McCarthy

449
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: and Spy is like a definitely a performance that is

450
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: worth looking back at. People don't get mad if you

451
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: snug a comedy, but it's like an emotional piece where

452
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: like everyone bear their soul, you know, and then it's

453
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: like nah, people like what this changed? This changed the

454
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: conversation around X, Y and Z. Yeah, comedies like yeah

455
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: the guy farted, I laughed, but it is like, hey,

456
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: can you think about that scene right now and laugh now?

457
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: See then then you gotta that's something, that's something you know. Overall,

458
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: it was like a huge year for blockbusters. It was

459
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: age of Ultron Fast seven, Jurassic World in the Fourth Awakens,

460
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: so those are and Minions, yeah, which was huge ruined.

461
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: I think child rains forever. If we were awarding Oscars

462
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: five years on if Minions get like some sort of

463
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: like lifetime achievement like yeah, like some Cecil B. Demill award, Yeah, exactly.

464
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: The Seven Dwarfs got an oscar the year that Snow

465
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: White came out, I feel like you could you could

466
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: do that for the man is crazy to staying power

467
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: because like Pixar pumps out movies so for for those

468
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: care Like in fact, yesterday, literally yesterday, I was driving

469
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: down Sunset and the car in front of me had

470
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: a minion hanging off its bumper like a little minions

471
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: yea nuts, it was like a truck nuts like a minion. Yeah,

472
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: and it made me laugh, you know, thank you for

473
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: that gift. It made me laugh. I would say even

474
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: harder than truck nuts make me laugh, And that is

475
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: a real feat Yeah. Absolutely, uh yeah, I think Minions

476
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: are like some of the best physical comedy creations of

477
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: like just just based on the experience that Charlie, Yeah,

478
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: it's up there with cha. Yeah, but yeah, I like

479
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: my initial takes are that mad Max Fury Road probably

480
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: is the one that should have won over Spotlight, even

481
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: though Spotlight was very good. Uh. It almost like the

482
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: cultural impact feels more like a piece of journalism in

483
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: terms of the overall zeit guys like it changed the

484
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: way we thought about a story and a cultural institution,

485
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: whereas like Fury Road like has just the cinematic moments

486
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: that like are just burnt into our cultural like unconscious

487
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: well I mean even I mean and for all the

488
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: talk of like obviously, I think when we all look

489
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: at it, cinema is what the studios like lean on

490
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: in terms of what they feel are they're Oscar hopefuls.

491
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: But when things like Fury Road, there are so many

492
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: videos on YouTube and people doing analysis from the editing

493
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: to the composition of the cinematography that it's truly it's

494
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: you have to like really take that for what like

495
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: people are studying the movie, Like I didn't realize about

496
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: all the set to focusing of the like the action

497
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: and how that played, and how we were just taking

498
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: the film in based on how they're composing the shots.

499
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: And when you see all that ship, you're like, damn,

500
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: you know, and you got an editor who was not

501
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: doing action, who was doing drama, who was applying a

502
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: completely different sensibility to this kind of film, and you

503
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: get all these other cool things to come out of it.

504
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, and also sometimes it's okay to just have

505
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: fun in a movie exactly. The Academy doesn't take that

506
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: in the consideration. It's like did you cry? Did you

507
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: call your mom? It's like, no, I had a great time.

508
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: Did you stand up and shut funk? Yet the screen

509
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: should be one of those things that you have because

510
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: the dude is the I forget spended on the suspended

511
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: playing the guitar with flame shooting out of it is

512
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: never going to be toughed like you ever top fun.

513
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: So fun, I mean because never before had we had

514
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: a like a physical embodiment of what cocaine looked like

515
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: until that film, And I was like, yes, there it

516
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: is right there. It was really more than transition from

517
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: cocaine into meth cocaine. Once he rose up. It was

518
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: like my man's gotten into the harder stop for three days. Uh.

519
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: So of the nominees, there are three that I feel

520
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: like have faded. The Revenant is like, that's arguable, some

521
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: people really love The Revenant. I feel like that's not

522
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: one that like I revisit that much in my mind.

523
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: Brooklyn and Bridge of Spies. I feel like not neither

524
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: of those are one people like go Back and so

525
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: I think we have three spots that we can work

526
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: with on nominees. So hit me with three, like Creed

527
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: maybe deserves a look, Cucario maybe deserves a look, maybe

528
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: a comedy, but anyways, that's uh, that's your homeworks. I

529
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: gang hit me up with some nominees for movies. The

530
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: most lasting thing from the Revenant, where all the anecdotes

531
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: about how in your eto was like abusing the crew

532
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: to get the film shot the way he wanted with

533
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: no lighting and ship like, I feel like that is

534
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: the most lasting thing for me. I'm like, oh yeah,

535
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: and then he got sucked up by that bear. That's it.

536
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: The bear is the thing, and partially the bear is

537
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: from the Jonah Hill sketch from the Oscars, so like

538
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: it's the self fulfilling thing where it's uh, yeah, I

539
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: mean the bear was pretty and not to say again,

540
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: And I think that's to the point to it is

541
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: like that there was a narrative of like cinema, there

542
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: was like in Your Too and Lubeski back at it again,

543
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: the duo doing what they do and like this time

544
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: they didn't use lights. It's all natural, and like, I

545
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: think that's what got a lot of people going like, yo,

546
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: you gotta check this out because of this stuff, rather

547
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: than like do you He won the Academy Work for

548
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Best Direction. Tom the Tom guy who directed Spotlight and

549
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: then went on to direct Cats, also nominated. And uh,

550
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: it's like a title hold the Rafters in the title

551
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: off the Rafters, I'm sorry. They're also remember we saw

552
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: we remember when you cut the net off the hoop?

553
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: Do you have the net to? They're like, we're gonna

554
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: need that back anyways. So we got another another couple

555
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: of director noms. This is going to be controversial, but

556
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if Matt Damon doesn't deserve it for The

557
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: Martian more than Leo for the Revenant. But I thought

558
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: Damon was pretty good in The Martian, and that's more

559
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: of a funny, fun movie and yeah, Leo, that was

560
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: just a mate good for Leo, you know right, Yeah,

561
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: I feel like you get less of the make goods

562
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: than uh if you did this, if you gave it five.

563
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: I think maybe what we need to do is, I mean,

564
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: not that every year there's a mate good but immediately

565
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: right off them make Good Awards or like they've been

566
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: doing they've been at it for a minute, let's just

567
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: give it to him this time, right, hold on, suck up.

568
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: Then you just sucked over everybody. Speaking of which, the

569
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: Grammys last night, like not giving Beyonce Best Song, but

570
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: then like when she on for being on Best Rap Song,

571
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: like made a huge deal about her, like having the

572
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: win for most I feel like that was another example

573
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: of like a word make good where they're like, we

574
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: we still love you, Beyonce, please don't stop coming to

575
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: the Grammys. We were so thrilled that you showed up.

576
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: God if we hope we didn't mess it up. Yeah,

577
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying she wasn't deserving, but just saying that

578
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: they seemed to be trying to correct something and in

579
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: a half ast just do it old school where you

580
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: could go to McDonald's and buy a ballot and you

581
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: buy fifty of them and you your friends, you know,

582
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: goose the system. Make it democratic like an All Star game. Yeah,

583
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: just fucking I'm curious to see what happens. Wait, did

584
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: Grammy's used to do it? Like? Oh no, I'm just

585
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: saying like I'm just describing the All Star Game, which

586
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: is my first foray into democratic processes of voting with

587
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: multiple ballots. Uh, the people especially now, like the people

588
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: do vote, it's like they're streaming numbers. Likely is you

589
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It's yeah, the people's choice. I honestly,

590
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: someone should just make a democratized awards show just for

591
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: a laugh to see, like when you let everybody who

592
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: gives a ship vote, like what that looks like. And

593
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: then if you could actually kind of keep to funk

594
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: with like the status quo of award giving as it is,

595
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: because it's so gate cap, just so much gate keeping evolved,

596
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I don't know, fucking what about people

597
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: who buy the fucking tickets to where's our award? That

598
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: isn't the MTV Awards? Yeah right? Yeah? And also then

599
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: you you can boost artists that are just like I

600
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: don't know, like I feel like SoundCloud rappers would be

601
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: like legitimized because it would be like a hundred sixteen

602
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: year olds being like, yeah, right, my favorite rapper you

603
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: can't even spell his name. It's donas Sign, Pound Sign

604
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: Percentage assets, right and those. Yeah, that's what is when

605
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: you look at the streaming charts, like, that's what people

606
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: are listening to sound class. Also, revisiting the movies made

607
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: me realize I was so broken two I didn't see

608
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: any of them in New York and I just I

609
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: did not go to movies that whole year. I was like,

610
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: look at this whole list. I was like, I've seen

611
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: none of these. Well that's been I remember because Pat Max.

612
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: I was like, if I don't see this in theaters,

613
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: I almost want to wait and hope there's a rerelease

614
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: because it's clearly a theater movie. It was like, very

615
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: obvious to me. So far it has not happened, but

616
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: I think at some point it'll happen. Someone five years

617
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: on we can demand that they re released it. Yeah,

618
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: they would Also, all these movies would have an excuse

619
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: to rerelease it. Like I think one of the arguments

620
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: against doing this is like, well, this gives new movies

621
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: like a boost, but you could also give old movies

622
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: a boost and have the movies that get nominated re

623
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: released so people can go check them out years later.

624
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's like something that like even writing about

625
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: movies when I was at my old job, they we

626
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: would try not to write too many articles about movies

627
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: that hadn't been out for over a year because there's

628
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: just not as many people have seen them, so you

629
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: can't really assume that they have like kind of soaked in. Right.

630
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Biden's tax plan, less important stuff, right, Yeah, Yeah,

631
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: he's doing making some uh progressive gestures, but not putting

632
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: it at pre Trump levels. I mean, the biggest one

633
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: that I see is the corporate tax rate. Uh so, yes,

634
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has a plan. From the leakers that are

635
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: out there, apparently this is just being weather ballooned now

636
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: because he wants to see how many of his donors

637
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: are like, you kidding me, taxes, Joe. Um. But yeah,

638
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: there's a plan to overhaul the taxes, something that has

639
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: not really been done since ninety three with Bill Clinton.

640
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: Because when you start fucking with rich people's money, as

641
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: we've seen, they will set the fucking world on fire

642
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: with their paid pundits, lobbyists, influencers to tell you about

643
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: how bad it is to raise taxes when really what

644
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: we're trying to do is be able to raise enough

645
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: revenues to you know, fund a lot of programs or

646
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, whatever the administration decides to do with it.

647
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, um, but yes, we want more taxes

648
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: because that will hopefully help fund these programs that we

649
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: need for people working, people who aren't making over four

650
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year. So yeah, A couple of

651
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: the points that have come out is bringing the corporate

652
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: tax rate from to it was over thirty eight percent.

653
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,959
Speaker 1: I just want to mention that. So you're not even

654
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: going back to pre okay, well, I'm just I'll remember that, um,

655
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: pairing back tax preferences for like you know, past through

656
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: businesses like little loophole closures, raising the income tax rate

657
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: on individuals were earning more than four hundred thousand dollars.

658
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, cool. So if you just a thing now,

659
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: if you hear listeners, anybody start complaining about raising taxes

660
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: if they don't make over four hundred thousand dollars to

661
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: him to shut the fuck up immediately. Sorry, I just

662
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: to your point there. And I was like, a friend

663
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: tell me he voted for Trump, and uh, I was like,

664
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: what why? Because I know this guy, I know these

665
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: kids in sixth grade. I was really surprised to learn this.

666
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, I just gotta keep my

667
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: taxes low for me and my family. And at the time,

668
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you, dude, he worked at like he

669
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: worked at a store in the mall. I was like, Bro,

670
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: this isn't a you ain't what this ain't no disrespect

671
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: to working at a store in the mall. No, no, no,

672
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: I love most don't, but you don't have solidarity with

673
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: these other That's not no, no, no, you don't need

674
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: to be in solidarity to do with you. Bro, you're

675
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: not going to see more money you're that's what. Yeah,

676
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about the motherfucker you complain about who's not

677
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: paying you enough. That's who's gonna get it in that

678
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: that's just gonna get bit with that tax bill, not you,

679
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: and so yes, please don't have this weird solidarity with millionaires. Please,

680
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: this is a very easy thing to do. Um Expanding

681
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: the estate taxes reached like so again shoring up some

682
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: of the laws to be a little more wider reaching. Um.

683
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing is there's no wealth tax. And

684
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: that's something that I think a lot of people were hopeful,

685
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: you know. And Biden said he would listen to people

686
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: like Elizabeth Warren Warren or Bernie Sanders on stuff like

687
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: this that that would be something that would factor in

688
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: because it's that's just money that's in there, right, what

689
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: do they need to hoard all of this money for?

690
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,959
Speaker 1: We need to take a little bit off the top

691
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: on that. So, uh yeah, I mean it's just that's

692
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: the wealth tax, just to distinguish it from the uh

693
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: tax like heightened tax king of people over four hundred

694
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, Like the people over four hundred thousand dollars

695
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: are seeing an increase of like one percent, and then

696
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: you get up to eight hundred thousand dollars and it's

697
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Run over a million, it's a

698
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: little bit more. A wealth tax would be like significant

699
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: taxation that exist before on people who are making like

700
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. And it's also like have

701
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: you ever been around someone who inherited wealth? Like it's

702
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: bad for them. Poisoned. It's like poisoned. Yeah, it is

703
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: a cursed bag of money being hot potatoed down generation

704
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: of generation, each one becoming crazier and more detached and

705
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: more depressed. Like I used to live in Bushwick and

706
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: you would see it like in Brooklyn, like the trust

707
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: fund kids that you know, don't even remember asking one kid,

708
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: what are you paying rent? He goes, oh, I don't,

709
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. And it's like and he would just

710
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: sit at this coffee shop slash bar and drink beer

711
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: and shots all day and she had no reason not to.

712
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: He just lived his life hammered, drunk, and he was

713
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: a wreck. And it's like, bro, you need a job.

714
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 1: You need to need a job, you need to do something,

715
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: you need drive. And it's just like that's the thing is.

716
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: It's like it's very bad for poor people. And we've

717
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: we've covered that. Let's also talk about how bad it

718
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: is for wealthy people, Like that amount of wealth, it's

719
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: bad for you. It makes you fucking crazy, So maybe

720
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: get rid of something, you know exactly. It's like it's

721
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: bad for everybody involved, So why why are we fighting

722
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: for this? Just give them, you know, like let's let's

723
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: make like a little daycare for billionaire kids to pretend

724
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: they got a job and give them a weird little

725
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: sense of self esteem where they're like I made six

726
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: copies today. But that's the whole mentet when you meet

727
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: those people who inherited a lot of money, like that's

728
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: the whole thing is like they realize at some level

729
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: that they're like protect like they have this like air

730
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: where they're like terrified of being accused of like not

731
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: being worth ship because they inherited. It like puts them,

732
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: like you said, can it puts them in a bad position,

733
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: like from Jump Street, Like they're in a bad place

734
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: from a very young age because they rightly are like, man,

735
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: I didn't do ship, and it's hard to even look

736
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: at I. You know, I grew up with kids whose

737
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: parents had enough money that they didn't have to do

738
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: shit ever, and to the point where like they defanged

739
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: de claude them from having life skills in general because

740
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: everything was done for them. And in their adult lives

741
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: they are trying to fill these voids with buying ship, drugs, alcohol, whatever,

742
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: because they got this very skewed sense of what it

743
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: means to have any self worth of just sort of

744
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: like I don't know, it's I get everything in life

745
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: is great, but when you get into your adulthood, that

746
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: ship will really fuck you up because you see all

747
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: your friends who are like, damn, they gotta they're doing

748
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: all this and that, and I'm just like kind of partying,

749
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: but like, you know, like you whatever. I mean. Granted,

750
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they have all their money.

751
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: They can cry in their giant pillow, but it's it

752
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: sucks when you try and look at things like the

753
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: wealth inequality in this country. You have someone campaigning on

754
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: like I can do something. We have ideas and be like, hey,

755
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett, you have eighty over eighty billion dollars, how

756
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: about we come for some of that, and a wealth

757
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: tax would give us what over almost two and a

758
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: half billion dollars of his wealth to begin to help

759
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: properly like rearrange things. But then you get a bunch

760
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: of opinion pieces in the Wall Street Journal, Like literally

761
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: today in the Wall Street Journal, there is an opinion

762
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: that says Warren's wealth tax would wreak damage. So you

763
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: can and these people they sit there and they go,

764
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: we want peace in the streets. Look at all these thongs, right,

765
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: and it's like, why don't you fucking give people a

766
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: place to live in education and healthcare and they won't

767
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: be in the streets. You can literally pay them to

768
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: not do it, that's all. It's all they're asking for.

769
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: All they're asking for is for you to pay them

770
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: and still be the richest person that has ever existed.

771
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: And motherfucker's will be inside. But no one wants to

772
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: be in the streets. People want to be at home

773
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: playing Xbox. They don't want to be out there. Theyn't

774
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: want to put the sticks down and go hold a sign.

775
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: No one wants to do. It's just like, and what's

776
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: crazy too. Trickle down economics does not work. What does happen?

777
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: What does work is trickle down cost And what I

778
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: mean by that is all right, So I noticed it

779
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: in Bushwick. Rich kids take an apartment their dad's paying rents.

780
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: You know what they don't do. They don't negotiate price.

781
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: The landlord says, this is how much this place costs.

782
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: They go great, So now there's an apartment on this

783
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: block that is being rented out for way more than

784
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: it's worth. Because this kid didn't have to even negotiate.

785
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: He didn't even have to try. The landlord tracks him

786
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: as a rich kid. He's seen the paperwork, he knows

787
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: he's got a guarante work. He's like fine, and everyone

788
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 1: else is paying eight hundred, So now everybody else's least

789
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: comes due. And now there's an apartment on the block

790
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: that's setting this new market. And now these costs are

791
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: being passed down to everybody else on the block. And

792
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: did you see it in the housing market, the fact

793
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: that like you know, I know people that have lost

794
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: one point eight million dollar houses in l A to

795
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: cash offers. That's outrageous, it's crazy to the market, right,

796
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: And then that neighborhood gets infiltrated did by a bunch

797
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: of people who inherited their money or are like a

798
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: head fund millionaires, and then like that neighborhood is no

799
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: longer cool. And then they just go and chase the

800
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: cool people out of like the next neighborhood that has

801
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: value because they aren't there yet. Gentrification all around. Yeah,

802
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: I'm I'm fully in favor man, Like I guess this

803
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: is vulnerable to admit on a podcast, but I'm like clothes,

804
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: like my my grandpa was like a fucking dirt, poor farmer.

805
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: He started a business, he grew it, my dad took

806
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: it over. I had the choice, and I looked around

807
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: and I was like, if I step into this world

808
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: and I don't work for something, I'm gonna be that guy.

809
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: Like if you have you seen the show Duck Dynasty,

810
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: it's like an old shitty show, but it's funny. It's

811
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: like the grandpa's that started it all grizzled, like arthritic

812
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: hands from working. His sons are like close and then

813
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: the kids are like baby faced frat boys that have

814
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: never and it's like like and I made it. So

815
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: I was like, look, I I don't want to be

816
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: this soft basically like I need to go earn some ship.

817
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: I'm out on that, and I'm appreciative of all of it,

818
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: but like when it comes to in haridy, and part

819
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: of the problem too is people that are in that

820
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: position don't ever talk about it, you know what I mean,

821
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm not sitting on a gold mine. I'm not

822
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: one of those people. But I am willing to talk

823
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: about it because I think we need to. And it's

824
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: like if there was a tax proposal that was like

825
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take x Y and Z of the money

826
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: that your parents left for you and use it to

827
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: give it to people that need it. I am like,

828
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: fucking do it, man. I didn't earn this ship. I

829
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: don't want it like I want to earn my key,

830
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And because it's also better

831
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: for me, it's better for it's better for me, I mean,

832
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: earn it or not, you know, Like that's I think

833
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: that can kind of be a loaded term, but at

834
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you're open to the idea

835
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: that you have things that you're willing to share with

836
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: other people artless, and I think that's just a sentiment

837
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: that whatever through the media or you know, consumer culture,

838
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: we just can't. So many people are still like they

839
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: have like the thought ends and being like help people

840
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: what what they do? Because I'm out your grandfather, because

841
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: everyone is being ground down to the bone. So it

842
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: feels fucked like some people like, well, why but I

843
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: need help? I know that's why. Let's let's start looking

844
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: at the people who don't need help at all and

845
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: take their ship about that. And it's also for four

846
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: dollars a year, you still become a millionaire in a

847
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: flash of an eye, right, Yeah, it's a couple of

848
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: years of that, you gon'll be on your way. Right.

849
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: The other way that the like sort of an underrated

850
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: way that the current system damages the country is billionaires

851
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: and trillion like the Warren Buffets of the world, Like

852
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: that dude spends all his time thinking about what to

853
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: do with the money he already has, and like philanthropy

854
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: in quotes, but like his philanthropy is like kind of

855
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: racist and like focused on like population controlling ship because yeah,

856
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: there is just this like built in assumption that like,

857
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: well you can't give it to the government. It's like,

858
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: what why the funk not? I just you know, because

859
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,439
Speaker 1: we don't pay for the Washreet Journal. I just want

860
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: to read part of this opinion piece before it hides

861
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: behind the paywall, because it sums up exactly whenever look Biden,

862
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: there's talk about a wealth hike. Of course, right on

863
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: fucking time, the Wall Street Journal, the voice of fucking

864
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: wealth hoarder, goblin motherfucker's comes out with this opinion piece

865
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: as if it's from a guy from just Bethesda, Maryland,

866
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: and it very well could be, but it's someone who's

867
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: sip fucking mainlineing the beer bong in the kool aid,

868
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: and it just says. So they go on to attack

869
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: the this idea of a wealth tax, they said, Rather,

870
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: it said, the policy prescription isn't primarily about raising funds,

871
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: although she would no doubt be delighted if the U

872
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: S tax coffers grew as a result. Rather, it is

873
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: primarily about turning ultra millionaires and billionaires into the boogeyman

874
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. It was the government for Donald Trump. It

875
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: was the press for Elizabeth Warren. It is rich people

876
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: who share an evil trade. They all regularly engage in

877
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: the obscene act of wealth accumulation. Yeah, that's that's true.

878
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: That's what. That's what people besides the people who pay

879
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars a month for your fucking newspaper thing. Uh,

880
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: they have that article, by the way, on tap like

881
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: like it's an a bit for Keith Conturds. They just

882
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: have that ready to go like whenever. It's also it's

883
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: also like once you have a certain amount of money,

884
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: your money makes money, right, like, yeah, the idea that

885
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: you need over like, over a certain amount of money,

886
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how much they take from you, because

887
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: it's just sitting in a hundred different funds, earning interests

888
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: faster than you can spend it. So what the fund

889
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: are you talking? And it's this idea to like, well,

890
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, if you cap it, then what's the incentive

891
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: to like start Microsoft? Well, you know you'll still be

892
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: a hundred millionaire. I think the guys, you know what,

893
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna invent the computer because I'll

894
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: only be a hundred million that watch, because there's billions

895
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 1: of people on earth who have will do it for less,

896
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: who have a vision for their own future that doesn't

897
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: require millions of dollars. Most people's dreams are just to

898
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: fucking survive, to be comfortable, to take a fucking weekend off,

899
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: hug your kids, catch the game, whatever, be with your family.

900
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: Not oh, I need not funk that I'm I'm voting

901
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: for Trump because I need six yachts. That's that's a

902
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: that's not Most people are trying to just fucking live.

903
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: Nobody's moving to another country because they can't pay for

904
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: their sixth yacht. Like that's that's not what They're going

905
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: to move to another country because you have let the

906
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: social fabric and the social safety net just degrade to

907
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: a point that it's no longer a place that it's

908
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: also curiating, is these billionaires get the money back. That's okay.

909
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: Trickle down economics does not work. You know what does

910
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: trickle up? You give people that need money money, they

911
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: spend it immediately because they have all this ship that

912
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: they need, and who they buy it from? You, because

913
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: you're the ones that So if you're Jeff Bezos, if

914
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: you give out a hundre million dollars, you're gonna get

915
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: it right back because everyone's gonna go on Amazon and

916
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 1: order all the ship they need. Because Jeff Bezos thinks

917
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: they're like, well, I don't know people, like, donaling know

918
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: other billionaires, and if you gave him a hundred millions,

919
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna turn them and put that in a mutual

920
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: funded Like what the fuck? Like, No, you don't even

921
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: know people. Y'all don't even know regular people anymore. So

922
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: I thought this was a good, uh kind of window

923
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: into the Wall Street Journal readership and opinion piece that

924
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: I just like copied the headline down over the weekend

925
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: UH Wall Street Journal opinion piece that was trending, how

926
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: to say no when you're adult children ask for financial

927
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: help it's like it's like the uh yeah, I mean

928
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: it's what it's what uh the movie Nomad Land, like

929
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: the fact that there there's just the generational cliff that

930
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: we fell off in terms of wealth accumulation, and the

931
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: older generation is just like, stay the funk out out

932
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: of my way, man, Like, we're gonna carry this with

933
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: me to the grave. Yeah, and then they'll give it

934
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: to their fail fail kids. Yeah, alright, let's take a

935
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back and we're back. Uh.

936
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: And a couple of food stories there. There's a BuzzFeed

937
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: quiz uh that claims with a lot of confidence that

938
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna tell you how old you are based on

939
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,479
Speaker 1: your food preferences just picking sixty fucking items off a list.

940
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: They're saying, we'll fucking will zero in on your asp

941
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: no one, if you like, just pick and just click

942
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: what you like off the sixty itemn you motherfucker, and

943
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: we'll know what carbon nature as will cut you a

944
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: half and count the rings. So I just want to

945
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: first allow people to know what's on this list, because

946
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: it's interesting there the way they're trying to triangulate things.

947
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: The first thirty are definitely like young people dishes, asa

948
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: e bowls, avocado toast, impossible, burger, chrone, nut, kombucha, charcoal

949
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: ice cream, Okay, find Zoodle's cold press juice, you get it.

950
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: And then the next list is more like, okay, let's

951
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: see how how old you are with it, ambrosia, meat loaf,

952
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: fig rolls, butter, pecan ice cream, which I was like, well,

953
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: hold on, don't act like there's an age to butter

954
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: that that ship is. Yeah, the cold slaw, potato salad, fruitcake, liquorice, jello, oatmeal,

955
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: raisin brand ship like that. So I went through, I

956
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: clicked what I like, and I will report that with

957
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: near I will be thirty seven this year. It said

958
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm thirty eight years old, and it got me within

959
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: two years. I said I was thirty eight and I'm forty,

960
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: and I got me with him four I said I

961
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: was thirty eight. I'm thirty four, but I'm an old soul.

962
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: See damn, we're so we're all we all clucked in

963
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: at thirty eight. Yeah, maybe maybe it's just like this.

964
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: Our average readership is thirty eight years. Just tell everybody there,

965
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: thirty eight. I just did a I just did an

966
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: experiment where I picked none on the first screen and

967
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: picked like the ones that I chose from the second screen. Uh,

968
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: and it said I was fifty ah and the wording

969
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: we were close, weren't we? If not, there's probably a

970
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: food or two you checked off that you don't actually

971
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: like what alright? I guess lit like there was a

972
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: couple of like a clear trap. It was like jello molds,

973
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, you're just trying to hard literally

974
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: hard candies. And it's like, come on, that's that's you

975
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: know what. They almost caught me though, because I was thinking,

976
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: because I like, I was like, well what kind you know?

977
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: I said, like hards, jolly ranchers, I like fucking blow pops.

978
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: But they made it look like the Grandma Grandpa candy

979
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: dish that never that you were always disappointed you pulled

980
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: the candy out of as a kid. And the jello

981
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: is actually just jello, it's not jello mold. But they

982
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: do use a picture that looks like the old ask

983
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: jello molds from like a seventies cookbook. Pretzels is an

984
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: old person food. Nah, I mean pretzels, I think is

985
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: it's timeless? Timeless? They're times yes, grapefruit juices in the

986
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: old person category. I'm assuming because it's with all the

987
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: it's with like tapioca pudding. I know what pudding is like,

988
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: that's that's what they served the people whose whose teeth

989
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: have failed them clicked, I clicked it. I like tapioca,

990
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: but I love it so good. Well, alright, so maybe

991
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: you did, right, Yeah, y'all take the quiz to let

992
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: us know how accurate is. Yeah, I'm curious if like

993
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm wonder if you know. I'm sure there's some data

994
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: nerd there who knows that there's probably ones that are

995
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: really loaded, you know what I mean, that will swing

996
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: the age at certain points. So do some sleuthing you'll

997
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: get back to us. Yeah, meat loaf definitely pulled me

998
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: up like five years because I checked the ship out

999
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: of meat. Yeah, but definitely. Oh so you're seventy. We

1000
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: thought you were twenty five. But there's like so many

1001
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: like new spins on meat loaf out there, like in

1002
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: the on the blah, you know, the food plugs that

1003
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: I could see that being popular. One whole milk makes

1004
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: me old then, you know, call me Moses day any day.

1005
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: Come on, that's the older I get the less darea

1006
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: I can take. So m damn take that. Take that alright,

1007
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about another food story Oreo has. You know,

1008
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: this is like, to put it in the terms of

1009
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: the sport they're taking advantage of here. This is like

1010
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: the biggest layup of marketing ever. They did a NBA

1011
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: dynasty Oreo and selected six teams Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Warrior, Spurs,

1012
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: Heat and then just basically trolling every other NBA team essentially.

1013
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: So this is where I think this this cookie allowed

1014
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: us to enter into yet another conversation about the NBA

1015
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,959
Speaker 1: because for me, it's hard when you say dynasty because

1016
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: even when the NBA, I feel like there are dynastic

1017
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: tiers for starters, the Lakers and Celtics are in their

1018
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: own category. But like, I believe that, you can come

1019
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: at me all you want, But the numbers don't lie.

1020
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: They saw there picking a specific miles. Are they picking

1021
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: a specific dynasty Like is it Lakers with Shack n Kobe? No,

1022
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: there's no, there's no that. Even the press releases like

1023
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: to celebrate the NBA's DYNA dynasty teams or whatever. Okay,

1024
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: So I'm like I get that, you know, like you

1025
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: got bill like that. There's the there's it's the histories,

1026
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: there the bulls. This ship is nailed on the Warriors.

1027
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: I get it. They had they had their they had

1028
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: their little run with that team Spurs. I believe that

1029
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: they should be there as well. We were there, we saw,

1030
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: we saw what happened. And then so this is where

1031
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,479
Speaker 1: it gets a little weird for me. The heat. Now,

1032
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: I understand in twelve and thirteen went back to back,

1033
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 1: and then previously before that what they want in like

1034
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: two thousand six or something like that. So if we're

1035
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: going off of teams who have just didnt went back

1036
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: to back years and then a Lucy for their third,

1037
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: the pistons have to be in there. The pistons have

1038
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 1: to be in there. You can you can either take

1039
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: the heat out or add the pistons. I don't care,

1040
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: but the pistons have to be there. The pistons taught

1041
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's how to get tough, and I think you

1042
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: can't undervalue They beat the ship out of him and

1043
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: he started lifting weights, So, um, I feel like that

1044
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: has to be added there. But then then you got

1045
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: the rockets, the Tooston Rockets, Yeah came, you know, came

1046
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: back to back and like, I mean they didn't get

1047
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: that lucy third, but they were in the Western Conference

1048
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: finals for instantly as even like that, if it wasn't

1049
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: for the Bulls, the Stockton and Malone Jazz are just

1050
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: living in the Western Conference big net that championship, them

1051
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: and the and them and the Clippers. I'll love to

1052
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: see that always. But yeah, I mean like it's I

1053
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know how what would you consider

1054
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: a dynasty, because you know, the Sixers have three rings,

1055
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: although they're all over the place, like they're they're separated

1056
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: by many years. They did when I was like ten

1057
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: or something. I remember this like crunch bar uh promotion

1058
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: they did where each NBA team that had won a

1059
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: title got a crunch bar, and I think it was

1060
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: like focused on like the best, so like, uh, the

1061
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: seventies seven Blazers, I like saved that until it melted, uh,

1062
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: and like that that was kind of dope. But like

1063
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: I feel like this, I don't know, like it feels

1064
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: almost like it it should be honoring just the team,

1065
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: because yeah, like you said, the Heat have three, but

1066
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: then like they're franchises that have more than that that

1067
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: aren't on here, right, that's not well, there's no one

1068
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: that has more than the than three that isn't on here. Really,

1069
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: the disrespect starts happening at the three titles teams, which

1070
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: leaves out the Sixers and the Pistons. Oh wow, I

1071
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: didn't realize that that few teams had titles, so uh uh.

1072
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: And then when you when you're talking about people with deuces,

1073
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: that's the Knicks and the Rockets, and then everyone else

1074
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: is just singles. Right, But it does feel like this

1075
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: would be more interesting if they were if the Kobe

1076
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: Shack Lakers got a separate one and the Magic were

1077
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: the Kareem Lakers got another one, and the which Celtics.

1078
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: I guess it would be Bird and Bill Ruffian. You

1079
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: could do the you know, Jerry West and like will

1080
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: you could. There's there's many you know, you can mix

1081
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: it up. I also like a dynasty is like the

1082
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: same cord of players winning more titles such a time.

1083
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah you know that to your point, like the Lakers

1084
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: are a dynasty of a franchise, but they had multiple

1085
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: dynasty teams. It's kind of the deal. And that's why

1086
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: the Warriors count, right. It's like Steph Clay Draymond. You

1087
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: can clearly say, all right, it's this core guys, the Spurs,

1088
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, Manu, Tony Parker, Um. Heat is all Wade

1089
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: like they're all Wade wins. Earlier, earlier in his career

1090
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: was Shack and then with the heatles yeah and then yeah.

1091
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's interesting. I feel like they should

1092
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: have gone bigger. Uh. But Oreo always has me man

1093
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: when they when they release a new a new flavor,

1094
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm always there to give it a shot. Um, and

1095
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: I'll probably I did not get the Gaga uh chromatica

1096
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Oreos because that chromatica is not a food. Um. But

1097
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: but NBA dynasty is a My doctor said, I have

1098
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: NBA dynasty deficiencies, so I should also the uh cookie.

1099
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: The chocolate part of the cookie is like dark black,

1100
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: like the rubber in the basketball. So that's kind of gross.

1101
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: I feel like it is. Don't you think it's like dark?

1102
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: It's really like blackish. It's like charcoal color more than

1103
01:00:53,760 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: it's chocolate colored. I've always about you all the want

1104
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: all right, and real quick, I want to talk about

1105
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: this thing Spain is testing out called a a four

1106
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: day work week. What Miles just stick coffee all over

1107
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: the comi fuck fest over there. So they are trying out.

1108
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: It's a three year program which will partly subsidize the

1109
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: cost of companies willing to try out the four day

1110
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: work week as long as the companies agree that there

1111
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: will be no loss of salary or jobs. So yeah,

1112
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: very very much. Uh something that would make Tucker Carlson

1113
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: like die on air um if if America tried it,

1114
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: but probably more Seawan Hannity because Tucker Carlson does show

1115
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: uh commy sympathies every once in a while. But the

1116
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: the only red lines they say is that there would

1117
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: be you can get the subsidies from the government as

1118
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: long as there is a true reduction of working hours

1119
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: and no loss of salary or jobs. A Japan, Scotland, Finland,

1120
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: New Zealand all thinking about trying this out. And there's

1121
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: really no reason not to do this because first of all,

1122
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: environmental benefit, which we need to be thinking about more

1123
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: and more starting twenty years ago. And and also research

1124
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: has shown that it makes companies more money because employees

1125
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: are productive more money with LEIN, So employees are more productive,

1126
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: they take fewer sick days, and their costs go down overall,

1127
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 1: like Microsoft Japan in studio four day work weeken found

1128
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: that productivity rose by and electricity costs felled by Um.

1129
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean also, but you know, just to put that

1130
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: through a lens of understanding, Japan is like a working culture.

1131
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: Japan is one of the few developed nations where people

1132
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: will die from over working at an office job. So

1133
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: you know this, it's it's there truly slightly different, but

1134
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: that is really something else to look at it like that,

1135
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: because yeah, you're looking at people who are being run

1136
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: ragged by their jobs and you're like one day off

1137
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,479
Speaker 1: and they're somehow doing it better even though we thought

1138
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: they were killing it with their ninety work weeks. And

1139
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, Jmr Writer points out that five day, forty

1140
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: hour work weeks were basically created uh during the Great Depression.

1141
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: Uh So like the two day weekend is not an

1142
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: immutable fact. Uh. And in fact, like in the at

1143
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:37,919
Speaker 1: that time, John Maynard Keynes uh speculated and twenty eight

1144
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: that or Canes I don't know how you pronounced that,

1145
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: speculated Canes um Uh. He speculated that technology would afford

1146
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: people to work week of fifteen hours within a hundred years. Uh.

1147
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: And the two day weekend. To put it in perspective,

1148
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: in America, is the same age as Patrick Stewart. Yeah,

1149
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: well cool. First of all, I don't know if you

1150
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: guys have worked in offices. I've worked in many I've

1151
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: I've had day jobs my entire adult life, and it's

1152
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: just incluising off my trust fund. But this sounds awful, dude. Yeah, dude,

1153
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: it sounds like there be more people to hang out

1154
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: with at the bar when we're just drinking all day. Yeah,

1155
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm with whatever you guys are down for if it's

1156
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: four days. But yeah, tell me, Kenny, what's it like?

1157
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: What do you guy think about the zero day? Come on,

1158
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: get on this on my program? Yeah. Um, but like

1159
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: most of the time, and you're wasting time, dude, Like,

1160
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: no one he is doing ship at an office. Man,

1161
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: it's just like looking at Facebook or Twitter until your

1162
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: boss walks by and then you minimize it into like

1163
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: twenty men to work and they do a great job.

1164
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: You're doing great. Yeah, but it's like the thing is

1165
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: a cultural thing. No one wants their grandpa to call

1166
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: them soft, and so everyone's like, oh, work works sixty

1167
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: It's like but the work's not necessary, But we just

1168
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: don't want the older generations to call us soft even

1169
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: though we are, and it's fine, just be soft fine,

1170
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: And so we're just like, nah, it's it's work eighty

1171
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: hours and I'll work with this best to us like

1172
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: my grandfather used, because I'm working hard. It's whole. I

1173
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: know we don't burn coal anymore, but I'm gonna mind it. Yeah,

1174
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: right now. I don't give a about no black lung.

1175
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm hard as funck like my grandfather, because we do

1176
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: have I think Americans this idea like weird relationship with

1177
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: what work is because like many of us can point

1178
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: to anecdotal stories of our parents being like, man, it

1179
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: was fucked up when I used to work, And you're

1180
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: like and then like in our new world of like

1181
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: technologically advanced, you know, industries and things like that. You like,

1182
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: but my hands aren't calloused in the same way, and

1183
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: my back, my spine is functioning normally. Is this work?

1184
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: So I guess I should go harder because at the

1185
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: very my back's not broken. But I can put in

1186
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: triple hours. But so wonder how full of ship they are? Man.

1187
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's everybody's version of their story is that they worked

1188
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: harder than anyone that's ever worked, because like you look

1189
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: at historical accounts of life, and life has sounded like

1190
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of similar. Like I'm not saying it wasn't worse.

1191
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Obviously things are way better now medical advances, technology, I'm

1192
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: not saying that. But like we're watching a show right

1193
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: now called Buried by Bernard's Fantastic, highly recommend ten out

1194
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: of Town. It's a funeral home in Memphis. Everyone that

1195
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: runs it as sucking hilarious. But the grandma on the

1196
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: show is like always shaming the grandkids. But then they

1197
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: they're like cut to the sun and it's like she's

1198
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: literally never working. She just sitting her office. They catch

1199
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: her napping all the time. She's doing nothing, Like it's

1200
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: just but that's it's I think about comedy, everyone's like YouTube,

1201
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: you have it so easy. Like you look in the nineties,

1202
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: if you had five minutes of stand up comedy, you've

1203
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: got a million dollars in an hour special like funk Off.

1204
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: You know, It's like I was rading a story from

1205
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Lewis. He's like, yeah, I've been doing it for

1206
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: three years and nothing had happened for me. I was

1207
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: about to Jesus. Yeah, there's just from a macro economic standpoint.

1208
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Uh for Kenny, I too. Uh have read a economics

1209
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: article once. A two thous report found that the average

1210
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: American works uh one tho seven and thirty nine hours

1211
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: more than the people in comparatively wealthy countries. That's a

1212
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: lot um and across almost all countries. The richer nation

1213
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: is the less time it's workers spend on the job.

1214
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: But which they're like, that makes sense. The more output

1215
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: in nations economy is producing per unit of labor, the

1216
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: more free time workers can have because there's like what

1217
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: like business people call the flywheel effect, where like momentum

1218
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: picks up. But at the US, as the US gets wealthier,

1219
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: like that mindset that we're talking about is like like

1220
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: we don't let that trickle down. We we've got to

1221
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 1: be hard on our workers. Yeah. The difference is like

1222
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: those other countries, like the wealth is going up, the

1223
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: citizens on some level are experiencing that on some relative level,

1224
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: whether that's through social welfare programs or subsidized healthcare, you know, childcare,

1225
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: things like that, that's where it goes. But in this country,

1226
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: people work harder for all the money to just stay

1227
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: fucking up there and people to just be work harder

1228
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: for fucking less, over and over and I eventually, you'd hope.

1229
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: I think that's why so many people like, when are

1230
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: we going to reach this point where a plurality of

1231
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: workers understand that they are absolutely being wrecked by their

1232
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: employers and being squeezed the fuck out for every bit

1233
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: of soul, breath, oxygen they have so they can just

1234
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 1: hoard the wealth. And then when does that turning point

1235
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 1: come where most people be like, I'm off, this part

1236
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: is in bullshit because at the end of the day, like,

1237
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking objectively at my lived experience and it's bad,

1238
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: and I know that people who are actually in the

1239
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: ownership class are the ones that are reaping all the

1240
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: benefits while we are suffering. So what can we now

1241
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: do with that? Because I'm done with all this other ship.

1242
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't know when we're going to reach that point,

1243
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: but that is, you hope, that's the realization we're gonna

1244
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: make quickly. Maybe this is my tinfoil hat here, but

1245
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: I think half the reason why is people in power

1246
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: know that if you give workers more time, they're going

1247
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: to have more time to realize they're being fucked. Like

1248
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: that's why some of the COVID conspiracy theories are crazy.

1249
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: To me. It was like, how the wealthy did this?

1250
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: But it's like the last thing they want is for

1251
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: us to have one year to watch documentaries about how

1252
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: fox capitalism is, which is exactly what we've all been

1253
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: doing for the last year. So it's and it's also

1254
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: a power thing, like and there's also race elements here too.

1255
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: The working class is anytime black and brown people start

1256
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: to get power or freedom or agency, wealthy white people

1257
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: freak the fuck out because they're so defensive because they

1258
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: know that this whole ship is built on a shaky

1259
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: house of cards of racism and oppression, shaky race cards.

1260
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: Shake your race cards, right, he's shaking little race cards. Um.

1261
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: And so they just they get out their spear and

1262
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: they go back back back back to work, and it's

1263
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: just it's yeah. And then they don't want to fund

1264
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: the government programs that feed their employees because they don't

1265
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: pay their employees enough to not be on food stamps,

1266
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: so you know, right, and then the media is controlled

1267
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: by giant corporations and then they'll just be like, oh,

1268
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: it's not them, it's immigrants or it's Hey, did you

1269
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: hear about these trans kids trying to compete in sports? Huh?

1270
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: What about that? Huh? Let's let's let's debate that rather

1271
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: than like really fundamental issues, because the most fundamental questions

1272
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: aren't talked about on the media, which is, do Americans

1273
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: deserve to live even though they don't have a job

1274
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: or should they die? Straight up? Because that's what it

1275
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: looks like right now. Either work and you can you

1276
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 1: can eke out a living and possibly do better, or

1277
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: you don't work and it's it's it's probably lights out

1278
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: for you. And is that a problem coming up next?

1279
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,799
Speaker 1: After these messages from GM, No, it ain't happening. Amazon

1280
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: is an interesting case. Studies just Amazon workers reportedly work

1281
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: eighty hours a week on average, and I assumed. I

1282
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: remember when it was announced that Bezos was stepping back

1283
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: to just be like chairman of the board and no

1284
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: longer CEO. My initial thought was like, Oh, that's gonna

1285
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: be tough for him. He's like such a hard worker. Uh.

1286
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 1: And then you read the articles and it's like Bezos

1287
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: hasn't really been seen at work for the past three years. Uh,

1288
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: he never takes a meeting like past noon and is

1289
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: like has a policy of like not never showing up

1290
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: or like it's just like, yeah, he's just been like

1291
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: chilling because he's the richest human being in the history

1292
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: of the world. So but we have that mentality that, like,

1293
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: anybody who's at the top of this hard working organization

1294
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: must be the hardest working. Just like that was an

1295
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: assumption that was just like built into me. And I

1296
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of people it's like truly not. They

1297
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 1: might have more education or you know, a smarter business sense,

1298
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: but in terms of hard work, it's laborers. Laborers do

1299
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: the hardest work. I worked on a moving truck in

1300
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: New York City for five and a half years. I

1301
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: can tell you the people carrying the fucking dresser up

1302
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: the stairs are doing the hardest thing at that job period, man,

1303
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: you know. And it's the same thing everywhere. It's like

1304
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: and those are the people that always get fun. They

1305
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: try to unionize, and then all of a sudden there's

1306
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: a whole propaganda against unions out and all of a

1307
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: sudden that's being demonized, and it's just it's it's really

1308
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: but workers here don't feel like they deserve it. And again,

1309
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: it's that mentality we were talking about it, like, well,

1310
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: our grandparents worked their fingers to nubs, So yeah, I

1311
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: guess I just I think of that ship all the time.

1312
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm a podcaster, you know, and I think about what

1313
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 1: my fucking grandparents did in Chicago in the forties, or

1314
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 1: like what my grandparents did in Japan, like trying to

1315
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: like operate in the ashes of World War two. I'm like, fuck, bro,

1316
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 1: But then I have to you also have to be

1317
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,600
Speaker 1: It's it's that's also like a self torturing mechanism that

1318
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 1: it's in built in all of us to just kind

1319
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: of keep you know. That's that's a whole other look.

1320
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm a therapy today. But the whole

1321
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: thing about it is really being able to embrace like

1322
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 1: the efficiency and what the boundaries are and how much

1323
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 1: we've come along to say, well, that was normal then,

1324
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: but that's no longer normal now. It's like we're not

1325
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: looking at the media entertainment of the fifties and be

1326
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: like this ship still tracks. No, it does not, because

1327
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 1: we've moved on. So the same way we look at

1328
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: work also needs to evolve rather than like rise and

1329
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 1: grind motherfucker right, And if we ask your grandparents right now, like,

1330
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: would you want us to do that? To be like, no,

1331
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to. I want my I want my

1332
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: grandson to be a podcaster. You know what that looks

1333
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 1: like to them, They're like, we did it, We did it.

1334
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: My family line is now podcasting. Thinking about is further

1335
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: back ancestors who are in a cotton field picking cotton, thinking, God, damn,

1336
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 1: if life could only be easier for my descendants going forward,

1337
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: because this is fun. This is slavery, and what's fucked

1338
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 1: up is we're just still seeing versions of it now.

1339
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: But now it's like slavery with a credit card, so

1340
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 1: you can buy some sick fits at the same time.

1341
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's like you know,

1342
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:29,839
Speaker 1: and Jan was mentioning to like even with with Ford,

1343
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: he was like, Yo, these motherfuckers need free time because

1344
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,879
Speaker 1: I need them to give me their money by buying

1345
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: ship after I pay them for their work, so they

1346
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: kind of need free time. So even the even the

1347
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: capitalists were thinking about what the value is to have

1348
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: somebody have enough time, have enough money, and even in

1349
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: their fucked up you know, calculus are like, yeah, because

1350
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: then I can get that ship back sustainability in all

1351
01:14:56,160 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: aspects of American capitalism is like unfortunately, like not the

1352
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: first thing that anybody thinks about. Well, that is like

1353
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 1: one thing too. Like I so, I I studied Econo College.

1354
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 1: I was my major. I found it very interesting, and

1355
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: I always say I have like a capitalist brain and

1356
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: his socialist heart. So I'm always trying to like reconcile

1357
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: the two. And I think one one problem, one issue

1358
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: that left has a little bit is we I say we.

1359
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: I I consider myself you know very left is a

1360
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: lot of us have just like hate capitalism so much.

1361
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: We don't learn how it works, we don't think about it.

1362
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: We want to burn it to the ground. And I'm

1363
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: not saying that's not the right feeling, but you lose

1364
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: the ability to speak the language that the capitalists use.

1365
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: And I think to my point earlier about like we

1366
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: focus so much on how awful capitalism is for the poor,

1367
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: also pointing out, hey, socialism can also be really good

1368
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: for your rich ass because it's more money in the

1369
01:15:56,080 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 1: purchasing power of the population grows, You're gonna get that money.

1370
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 1: Act Like every type of stimulus check hits all the

1371
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: rich get richer because we're spending money with their ship.

1372
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: So that's that's the way to sell it. Like, you know,

1373
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: if you're going to a ford and been like, hey,

1374
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: four day work week because people are tired. They want

1375
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,679
Speaker 1: to be with their families. But I don't give a ship.

1376
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: But if if you go, hey, forward, you'll get more.

1377
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, ship, four day work week, let's do

1378
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: it right now. It's the same thing with like that

1379
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Mackenzie study we're talking about, where the Mackenzie is like, hey, Hollywood,

1380
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 1: you're leaving ten billion dollars on the table by not

1381
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: hiring black people in the entertainment industry and creating more

1382
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: films that are just more diverse. You are leaving ten

1383
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year on the table by staying entrenched

1384
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: in this rigid thinking um. And I'm like, yeah, that's

1385
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: that's And we were saying the same point. It's like, ship,

1386
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: they might have to dangle a ten billion dollar carrot

1387
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: in front of the industry for them, like fun, ye,

1388
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta do something about this. Man, Like

1389
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: if we hire more people of color and and tell

1390
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: different stories like that, that actually benefits us. According to

01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 1: got to him and did their safety check, they asked

1445
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 1: if he knew who he was. He said, come on, guys,
