00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: on your list. Anyways, we'll talk about that. We'll talk

159
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: about frozen embryos being deemed literal children according to the

160
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: Alabama Supreme Court. We will talk about measles making a comeback.

161
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: We love it, don't we, folks.

162
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: All of that plenty more. But first, Jody, we do

163
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your

164
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: search history?

165
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: This last week has been one of the more busy

166
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: weeks of my professional life in a good way. But

167
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 5: I've been like, really just hold up and kind of

168
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 5: with blinders on, so I haven't searched much with the

169
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 5: one thing I did spend a long time searching was

170
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 5: and it's My search history is mostly this is New

171
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 5: Balance five to seven four US, which are you know,

172
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 5: one of my go to shoe and I've worn that

173
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 5: shoe basically for the last ten years or so. But

174
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: there's this very frustrating dynamic, which is I buy a pair,

175
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: I really like them, and then they run out, you know,

176
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: they wear out, and I go and look for that

177
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 5: pair again and they don't make the color any more.

178
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: And I have this thought of, like, I should just

179
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: buy three when I find a color I like and

180
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: just stock up. I've never really been that way, both

181
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 5: in terms of sneaker collecting or foresight. And so this

182
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: week was my one kind of like non working on

183
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 5: podcasts excursion was to try and stock up on colors

184
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: that I liked in the five seven fours that's spent

185
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 5: way too long. Well, they're not making a color that

186
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 5: I love right now?

187
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: What was that one? Just so further sneaker head out there,

188
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: so I can envision.

189
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: Oh, the one that I the last one I really well,

190
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: there was one, the one that like really led to

191
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 5: this moment regret. There was one I don't remember the

192
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 5: exact name of the color way, but it was like

193
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 5: it had like a light blue, it had like a

194
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 5: sky blue and a little bit of yellow on it,

195
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 5: and it was just really really nice. And it's the

196
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 5: one that I wish I had bought five of and

197
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 5: just worn for the next five years of my life.

198
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: But are you are you like doing like a Steve

199
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: Jobs kind of thing with your with your sneakers? Your

200
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: life might be this is it like.

201
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 5: On the sneaker front? Definitely like I'm not, you know,

202
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 5: I liked I like the way those shoes look. They

203
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 5: they toe, they toe a lot that I think is

204
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 5: perfectly on brand for me, which is like.

205
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: Very are intended just so we can get that out

206
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: of the stay.

207
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 5: Yes, that was very intended. Yeah, they project Dad first

208
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 5: and foremost, which is very comfortable with, but a little

209
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 5: bit of you know, a little a little more interesting.

210
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 5: And so I think the five seven fourth square that

211
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: for me. But yeah, I would very happily just like

212
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 5: have fifteen pairs of that. I was sitting there and

213
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 5: every six months just put on a fresh pair.

214
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just recently blew through my first pair of

215
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: new Balances that I'm like, oh yeah, because you know you,

216
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, I need my dad's shoe life.

217
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: I need I need comfortable shoes. I can't just walk

218
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: around and untied Jordans all day like I used to,

219
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: where my my feet just get just wrecked.

220
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does feet when you take a lot of

221
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot of steps under Jordan.

222
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: That's the big thing.

223
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: I barely time my shoe Like I only started tying

224
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: my shoes like maybe two years, like a year ago.

225
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, I keep them loose.

226
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: And some of the Jordans are like starting to feel

227
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: to me in my old age, like the boots from

228
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: the face off Prism.

229
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: They're just oh like magnetic to the ground.

230
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: You use a hand to like get my legs moving

231
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: a little bit around the house.

232
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: Are you a socks or a slippers person?

233
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: Socks?

234
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 5: Socks?

235
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have. I have socks my uh, and I

236
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: have grippy socks too, Like in the pandemic, like when

237
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: it started, and I was, you know, because I don't

238
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: wear shoes at home, I just had socks that were

239
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: that felt like they had traction. They'd be like, well,

240
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: I'm not totally fucking around with my footwear right now.

241
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

242
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: You like to be able to jump stop wherever you

243
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: are even Oh, yes, you get able to stop on

244
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: a dime?

245
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, euro stamp, Yeah exactly. After repeated blows to the

246
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: back of my head trying to do that, yeah, I

247
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: was like, I gotta get grippy socks.

248
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: What uh, what's something, Jody? Do you think is overrated?

249
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 5: This is not exactly exactly overrated because I love it.

250
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 5: But I was thinking about this past weekend. I conned

251
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 5: my daughter into alphabetizing my vinyl collection for me, which

252
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 5: was great. It'd been like two decades of mess and

253
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 5: then I was like, oh, this would be educational to her,

254
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: and you know, really it was just finally getting around

255
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 5: to doing it. So we sat down and wetized my vinyl,

256
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 5: and most of it is like stuff that I bought,

257
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: you know, for like two dollars a record, three dollars

258
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 5: a record, like many many years ago of hauled around

259
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 5: and I love, you know, I love listening to it,

260
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 5: but I've gotten a little bit into just buying stuff

261
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 5: on vinyl, like a lot of people have lately, and

262
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 5: it's really expensive, like it's crazy. And I was reading

263
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 5: something yesterday about someone saying kind of like everyone that

264
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 5: they know who collected vinyl for like the practice of it,

265
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 5: you know, not not necessarily for the fidelity of the audio,

266
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 5: but like just it's fun to collect and it's good.

267
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 5: It's nice look at the artwork, and it's nice to

268
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 5: have music collection. All those people, at least this person claimed,

269
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 5: are moving to CDs now because you still get that

270
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 5: active collecting, but like you're not dropping forty dollars on

271
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: piece of vinyl. So I think Final is writing this

272
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 5: weird like maybe overrated curve or whatever. I think it's

273
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 5: gonna and I start I've started to feel that myself too, like, oh,

274
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 5: it's really fun to do this, but gosh, I cannot

275
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 5: drop twenty five to forty dollars every time I get

276
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 5: a new piece of finyl.

277
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: You don't think, because I've thought about this myself, and

278
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: the reason I've justified my vinyl collection is that if

279
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: there's like the world's electronics go out, my CDs are useless,

280
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: my MP threes are useless, But I can still put

281
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: my ear to a needle and move the record around

282
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: and still hear the music or like muse it round.

283
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: Like to me, it feels like the one apocalypse proof

284
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: form of recorded music.

285
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you had to do that, just really like

286
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: hand rotate the record, I feel like that would get

287
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: annoying for you.

288
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 5: I think there was a whole and the director's cut

289
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 5: of Station eleven, there's like a ten hour section where

290
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 5: they're just listening to need a simone by hand cranking

291
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 5: it around. It's really an incredible scene.

292
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: Vinyl, right, at least compared to me.

293
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm sure, yeah, yeah.

294
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: So people are skipping the tapes tapes, which is right.

295
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 5: Well, that's the other question, the tapes. But I guess,

296
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 5: I guess the tapes aren't as like interesting of an

297
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 5: artifact and then and so forth, and if you're really

298
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 5: just in it to kind of like be able to

299
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 5: flip through stuff or whatever and just like you're collecting.

300
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: Then CDs might be the answer.

301
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: But I think like a lot of the hip or

302
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: bands are putting out tapes now too, like oh yeah,

303
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: is that in la where they're like, no, dude, put

304
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: Aren't dar Demo on fucking cassette? But then it like

305
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: it sounds like whatever. God, I mean, it's cool, I

306
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: get it, you know, do what you want to do.

307
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 5: No, it's funny. You go to band camp and it's

308
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 5: like you buy it and the options are basically like

309
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 5: P three cassette and fifty dollars vinyl that'll take eight

310
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 5: months to arrive because Taylor Swift gets the print all

311
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 5: of her stuff before any indie band gets the print.

312
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: All the world's vinyl is going to making that.

313
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: It's true, it's a huge shortage. It's kind of an

314
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 5: incredible thing that all these big artists like leap Frog,

315
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: all the all the other folks who want to put

316
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 5: stuff out on vinyl.

317
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: Is it the material that there's a Is it like

318
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: helium like one of those materials that secretly is just

319
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: like we have a finite limit of vinyl in it.

320
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 5: It's more the manufacturing facilities. But I'm not sure, but

321
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 5: I think it's that, you know, it's vinyl has taken

322
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 5: off a you know in the last few years, but

323
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 5: not to a place where like it's worth opening a

324
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 5: vinyl factory in you know, in Cleveland or whatever. So

325
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 5: there's still a limited, limited manufacturing capability, but like a

326
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 5: really exponentially growing demand. And so then yeah, it's created

327
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: this whole thing where like Taylor Shift can put out

328
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 5: all her back catalog on vinyl, you know, have it

329
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 5: on shelves in a week, and indie bands need to

330
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: wait like eight months in line, you know, Right.

331
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Will there ever be music stores like physical media stores?

332
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: Again?

333
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: Like not not you know.

334
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: Used record stores like we have now, but like, will

335
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: there be a future where there's a record store, just

336
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: like it's not abnormal to see one?

337
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: Do you guess think?

338
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: I think so. I mean, at least in New York,

339
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 5: there's like I mean, I was at the the Rough

340
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 5: Trade has like a proper record store here in New York,

341
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: a flagship store, and it's like looked like a you know,

342
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: record starts a bunch of new vinyl, and actually there's

343
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 5: a cassette player. I noticed on per sale there too,

344
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: But I don't know, I mean, I don't think there's

345
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: going to be in every neighborhood or on every corner.

346
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, right, oh wow, it sounds like too. It's like,

347
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: because CDs, you know, became the norm, all the vinyl

348
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: operations just started to cease to exist, and so you're

349
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: left with like less plants. But also apparently there's a

350
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: place that The Apollo Masters fire of February twenty twenty

351
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: also had a huge setback on the vinyl industry. The

352
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: only plant in North America equipped to manufacture vinyl lacquer discs,

353
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: which is a key step in manufacturing process, had a

354
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: three alarm fire that completely destroyed its facility. That's great. Yeah,

355
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: so now people are going to a manufacturer in Japan.

356
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so this shit is Yeah.

357
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 5: Can I tell you my favorite little at about vinyl

358
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 5: records that I learned in just fairly recently. And I'm

359
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 5: sure I will get corrected by the Reddit page if

360
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 5: I screw this up, but it's something like this that

361
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 5: the like physical way that a needle interacts with the

362
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 5: grooves on a record has a little bit to do

363
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 5: with the instrumentation on the record, right, And it's basically

364
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 5: that like higher pitch stuff has shallower or smaller grooves,

365
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 5: and more bass has bigger grooves and Moreover, as the

366
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 5: needle and the arm gets closer to the middle of

367
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 5: a record, it becomes a little more unstable just because

368
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 5: of the physics of it or whatever. Which is all

369
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: to say that throughout the like sixties seventies when they

370
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 5: were pressing vinyl, it was very risky to put bass

371
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 5: heavy songs on the towards the middle of a side

372
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 5: of vinyl, right, because it could potentially like throw things off.

373
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 5: So to me, so like to me, you know, I've

374
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 5: always been like, oh, I love all these Fleetwood mac

375
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 5: records where like the end of side one then on

376
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 5: this beautiful acoustic little piece, you know what, wonderful track

377
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 5: listing in our program. And it's actually just because of

378
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 5: the like a physical problem they have to do that.

379
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 5: But it has like defined for me, like so many

380
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 5: of these records that they end on these little acoustic moments.

381
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, like put the bangers up top. Yeah that basically

382
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: the Beatles White album like opens with back in the

383
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: USS or or whatever, and then amazing what uh, what's

384
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated?

385
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 5: Jody Mittens, that's not that interesting. Actually know you might

386
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 5: wait wait, can I ask your questions? Sorry to break?

387
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: Can something be underrated if it's on the list of

388
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: favorite things from the song favorite Things? Just a question

389
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm put putting out there, but it's true.

390
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: We'll let the listeners decide.

391
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's underrated, but it's something that

392
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 5: is that I've really loved in my life and I'm

393
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 5: ranting to everyone about. But is this product? I don't

394
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 5: know if they're gonna sponsor the show. Maybe they can

395
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 5: sponsor the show. It's called Brick. Have you heard about this? Brick?

396
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: And it is Mittens.

397
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 5: I switched from Have you heard about this?

398
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: I love Brick?

399
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I threw them through a cop cars windshield.

400
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 5: No exactly exactly. They're great. No, no, no, so so

401
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: brick is this is this device? I've been on a

402
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 5: long quest to like remove apps from my phone and

403
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 5: sort of not get caught in the rabbit hole of

404
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: you know, social media and all that stuff in my phone.

405
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: And I've tried all sorts of things, including going to

406
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 5: a flip phone for a while, and that was no

407
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 5: good and I had to go back and I finally

408
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 5: discovered a thing called Brick, which is a product, and

409
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 5: it basically is a piece of software that lets you

410
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 5: decide what apps you want to have on and what

411
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 5: apps you you don't want to have on. So you

412
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 5: can basically take your phone and just say, like I

413
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 5: want Maps, I want Spotify, I want so forth. You know,

414
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 5: I want all these things, but I also don't but

415
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 5: I don't want to have all the social media and

416
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: email and all that stuff. And the way you turn

417
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 5: it on and turn it off, the way you activate

418
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 5: it is by tapping it against a physical square device

419
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 5: called the Brick, and that thing lives on my fridge.

420
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 5: So it's sitting on my fridge, and when I want

421
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 5: to basically unlock my phone, I have to walk over

422
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 5: and like tap it against this little thing that's that's

423
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 5: on my fridge. And when I leave the house, I

424
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 5: can't unlock my phone because the Brick is back on

425
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 5: my fridge and it has done wonders. It's incredible. I

426
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 5: have finally kind of like on on rabbit hold my phone,

427
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 5: and I only have things on there that are like useful,

428
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 5: and I don't have any of the distractions yeah.

429
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 2: Oh so it basically is like, okay, time out for

430
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: these other apps. Yeah, until you come back for the

431
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: brick tap. Okay.

432
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: The physicality of it's cool that there's no right, a

433
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: physical space that's like your that's like base for your phone.

434
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: Like I'm off base, I can Yeah, that's exactly right.

435
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah right.

436
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 5: That's because the problem is that like iPhones have that

437
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 5: screen time thing where it's like you can tell up

438
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 5: and close all these apps, but it's still the way

439
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 5: to unlock. It is still on your phone, and you

440
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 5: find yourself going and undoing the settings, and the fact

441
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 5: that it's just a physical, separate space has made all

442
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 5: the difference. Like it's really yeah, it's great.

443
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: It's like you can't psycho analyze yourself. You can't fix

444
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: the broken tool with the broken tool, and you can't

445
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: you can't fix your phone addiction with button.

446
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: Phone right, your phone. That's cool. I love that.

447
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: Give it a show.

448
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Have you have you ever like accidentally not unlocked your

449
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: phone and like gone been out for the day in

450
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: New York City?

451
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 5: I mean I'm doing it every day. I'm basically now

452
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 5: when I leave the house, my phone is bricked, you know,

453
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 5: And so and so I've had to like tell people

454
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 5: I work with, I'm like, I don't. I no longer

455
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 5: have email or slack on my phone. If you need

456
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 5: to reach me, text me or call me or just

457
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 5: generally I'll be back in a couple of hours. It's all, yeah, yeah.

458
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool, all right.

459
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 5: Brick and mittens, you know, under undercut the mittens. You

460
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 5: can keep it in or you.

461
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Can I think we keep it in. Mitten's mintens are

462
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: are great. Just one of a few of my favorite things.

463
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be

464
00:21:52,720 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: right back and get into the news. And we're back.

465
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: And this is just a little minor one, a little

466
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: check in. But Fox News did a little town hall

467
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: event hosted by Laura Ingram where she asked Trump about

468
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: six possible choices for his running mate DeSantis, Scott Ramaswami, Donald's,

469
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: Byron Donalds.

470
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: Gno, and Gabbard.

471
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Are they all on your short list? I'm I didn't

472
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: watch it. I'm picturing this having the music from Who

473
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: Wants to Be a Millionaire behind it as she's like,

474
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: do you will you lock this in? And Trump said, yeah, honestly,

475
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: all those people are good they're all good. Oh, they're

476
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: all solid, which people people are like.

477
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he.

478
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Announced his short list.

479
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 2: No he didn't.

480
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: He just answered the question that you posed to try

481
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: to make this into a story like that. The mainstream

482
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: media needs a something right now to fill in for

483
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: the fact that there is not going to be a

484
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 1: primary season that people will pay attention to, and so

485
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: they're going to go with this would be my that's

486
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: my prediction is that they're just going to really turn

487
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: this into the Bachelor Vice President edition.

488
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be the Faschelor and where this is all headed.

489
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 5: Jack. I'm really glad you kind of honed in on

490
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 5: that dynamic of how that question got asked, because it

491
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 5: is such a hallmark of how people ask questions of

492
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 5: Trump and how he wants to be asked questions. But

493
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 5: it's this like reporter floating an idea and then all

494
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: Trump has to do is yes and and pray along

495
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 5: and acting yes, and it's like people do not you know,

496
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you're literally collaborating with him in that point,

497
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: in that way to create this news moment insure that

498
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 5: like I guess the Fox News, but even you know,

499
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: quote unquote mainstream reporters find themselves playing that game where

500
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 5: they'll just like float ideas and then Trump, I mean,

501
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 5: he will go along with almost anything that you say

502
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 5: to his face if it has this tone of like,

503
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 5: you know, it's a lot like I think she could

504
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 5: have snuck in, like Stacy Abrams's name, like into that

505
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: list and Trump would have been like, oh yeah like

506
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 5: them all, you know, yes, I'm into it, you know,

507
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 5: like you like he just so that was the dynamic

508
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 5: that I most sort of jumped out to me is

509
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 5: so frustrating, and we're seeing it all happen again. The

510
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 5: way that he gets asked questions like he hasn't actually

511
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 5: thought about these people. He isn't going to actually engage

512
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 5: with their merits. He's going to make it a reality

513
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 5: TV show. It is like hilarious and fucking heartbreaking to

514
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 5: me that the Santas is on that list because the

515
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 5: Santus will never ever, ever ever get picked, and mostly

516
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 5: because he's too short, and that's just like how Trump works.

517
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 5: But you know, it is just so funny that he's

518
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 5: on that list.

519
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Does that help him that he Trump kind of towers

520
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: next to him, you know, like I.

521
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 5: Think Trump, I think Trump like literally just thinks of

522
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 5: these people as casting and when he gets it in

523
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 5: his head that he's too short, he's just too short, that's.

524
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: Right, Or does he think of it like he's like

525
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 2: Pence was too tough and he had a spine. I

526
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: need I need a weakling who wears custom boots so

527
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: I can really push him around and embarrass him, because

528
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 2: it feels like he would if DeSantis was his VP,

529
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: he'd right be like, folks, I want you to look

530
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: at Ron's boots.

531
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: Take him off, yeah, show everybody just humiliate him like

532
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: that would probably be the most entertaining is he has

533
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: Desanta's and then just make some meat ship because I

534
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: also Desanta's what turned out to be like heading in

535
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: when he's on the cover of Time magazine and.

536
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 2: People are like, he's just smarter.

537
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: Trump, I was like, this guy's gonna be like very boring,

538
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: and he was actually one of the more fascinating people

539
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: to watch run for office because he was so uncomfortable

540
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: and weird. Yep, So I don't hate the prospect of

541
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: him again. I don't think it's going to happen because

542
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: Trump is just like I feel like he's more likely

543
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: to just like pick the liver king or like somebody

544
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: with big muscles that he is, you know, the big

545
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: muscle is down here.

546
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I pick the undertaker from

547
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 2: WWE like damn, but Desanta is like I have having

548
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: Desantas squirming in the spotlight was a fun, you know, sport.

549
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't like that.

550
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 5: You know there's anything that Trump notices, it's that right, Yes,

551
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 5: Trump watches TV with the sound off and he just

552
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: makes you know, he just looks at someone and Desanta's

553
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 5: like Sweaty's squirming.

554
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Onder the loser.

555
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is a short loser, it turns out, which yeah,

556
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: unfortunately for him. Trump did especially laud Tim Scott, but

557
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: mainly for how much Scott talks about him.

558
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: So I again.

559
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: If he's trying to pick the best sick of fans

560
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna make him look good, maybe this is the pick.

561
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: If he's trying to pick like this strongest, the strongest guy,

562
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: which seems like what he did not pick the strongest

563
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: guy the first time around. He just picked the one

564
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: that his supporters were telling him, or you know, his

565
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: analysts were telling him was the best kind of strategic

566
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: triangulation move. But he said of Scott, I watched his

567
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: campaign and he doesn't like talking about himself, but boy

568
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: does he like talking about Trump.

569
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's kind of like the whole thing was

570
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: just you know, sort of rigged de facto meant for

571
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: his nomination anyway, It's like, well, I can't speak ill

572
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: of the guy who I'm going to have to beg

573
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: for a cabinet position eventually. So yeah, here we are.

574
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: Almost as all right, let's talk about the Alabama Supreme Court. Yeah,

575
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: in a first of it's kind ruling, the Alabama Supreme

576
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: Court just declared that frozen embryos are children and those

577
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: who destroy them can be held liable for wrongful death,

578
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: making it even more terrifying. It'd be a doctor in Alabama. Now, Yeah,

579
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: this is this was I think inevitable.

580
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 2: A lot of people once you know, rowe Fell, were like,

581
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: you know, IVF is also the other thing, because these

582
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 2: antichoice people fucking would love nothing more than to go

583
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 2: after IVF and get continue the sort of like these

584
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: these cell clumps are people and they have rights, and

585
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: if you drop a test tube with it in there,

586
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: that could be murder. Although that's still we still don't

587
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 2: know what the bounds are of that law, but the

588
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: very least there are stiff penalties that could easily bankrupt

589
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: any sort of healthcare provider because of you know, something

590
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: happened and this, you know, this comes from these lawsuits

591
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: where these parents who had IVF treatment had their embryos frozen,

592
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: and like a patient at the hospital where the embryos

593
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: were at had got access to these embryos and then

594
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: dropped them, picked them up with the bare hands. Yes,

595
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: something that is cryogenically frozen. I don't know if you've

596
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: seen the movies, but that's a little bit. I think

597
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: that's not like taking a pint of ice cream out

598
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: of your freezer. But anyway, and then yeah, so because

599
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: of that, these embryos were destroyed and the parents sued

600
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: the clinic for quote wrongful death, and they these the

601
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: court loved nothing more than to oblige them and said that, yeah,

602
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: these are these people do fit the definition of a

603
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: person or child.

604
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: The quote from the Chief Justice is fucking terrifying.

605
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: Dude, this is wild. So yeah, the Chief Justice of

606
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: Alabama Supreme Court said that, you know the people of

607
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: Alabama have declared and have adopted quote the theologically based

608
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: view that quote, life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring

609
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: the wrath of a holy god. M hmm so just

610
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: hm hmm, so.

611
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: No more capital punishment Alabama?

612
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: Is that? What? Wait? No, no, no, I mean. But

613
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: then also, how conversely, how would you look at the

614
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: idea of science being able to to create life out

615
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: of the you know, the the actual human intercourse version

616
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: versus you know, because right now IVF eggs are retrieved,

617
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: they're fertilized with sperm, and then they're rated for quality,

618
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: and the higher quality embryos are the ones that are

619
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: transferred to the uterus, and often more than one at

620
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: a time are done so in order to increase the

621
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: chances of success. And so that's the that's the thing

622
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: where this chief just is like, well, there is a

623
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: version that you could do that wouldn't put it at risk.

624
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: So in this version, according to this Chief Justice, who

625
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: is not a fucking doctor, is basically saying every time

626
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: an embryos created, it has to be transferred to the

627
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: uterus and regardless of quality. So you're saying like and

628
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: if a doctor be like this has actually a very

629
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: low chance of being successful, They're like, well, we got

630
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: to try because that embryo is a person and if

631
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: you destroy it then that's that's a no no, and

632
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: you will incur the wrath of a fucking holy God.

633
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: And this is like obviously terrible because it's just it's expensive,

634
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: it's needless, very painful for the patient. And this is

635
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: just sort of like the abortion bands where logic does

636
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: not prevail, where they're like, no, the doctor must wait

637
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: until the patient is like on death's doorstep before they

638
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: can intervene and ask a court if it's okay to

639
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: terminate a pregnancy, and the Chief Justice is sort of

640
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: logic for this more arcane version of IVF that he

641
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 2: feels is more in line.

642
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: With God's law.

643
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: He was like, well, you know, it's it's fine because

644
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: the Italians made this a law back in two thousand

645
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: and four and then completely left out the part where

646
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: the law was fucking rescinded a few years later because

647
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: it was so fucked up and backwards. So yeah, this

648
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: is just a very you know, the next sort of

649
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: the next target in terms of reproductive rights that anti

650
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: choice people are going after. And yeah, obviously people are

651
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: scared because it could go to other states.

652
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 5: I mean, you're right, you're right to point out that,

653
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 5: you know, it is clearly there's just a top line

654
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 5: agenda here and everything is kind of retrofitted to fit

655
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 5: into it, including not sort of thinking through the rip

656
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 5: effects as you were saying. But like on the on

657
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 5: the front end, I mean, it's just I don't know,

658
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 5: maybe it's just stating the obvious, but like the idea

659
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 5: that you're trying to essentially make a law that points

660
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 5: out that, like a random person shouldn't walk into a

661
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 5: facility and grab frozen embryo things and then accidentally drop

662
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 5: them on the ground, Like I think we do we

663
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 5: need do we need a law? Yeah? Do we need

664
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 5: a law exactly? Do we need a law that then

665
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 5: defines embryos people in order to kind of like put

666
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 5: guardrails on that kind of behavior? And so clearly, like

667
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: you know, this is exploiting a moment in order to

668
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 5: take a bigger, a bigger stance here and set some

669
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: really sort of scary precedent. But I mean, like not

670
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 5: everything and I understand this hell often works, but there

671
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 5: it's probably another way, you know, like the pre war

672
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 5: should have been like how about a key? Yeah?

673
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: What if that ship?

674
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

675
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: How about how about gloves next to the cryogenic freezer.

676
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 5: But the gloves have the Bill of Rights and the

677
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 5: gloves of the you know, some Bible versus on the back.

678
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: Right commandments on the back, so that you can did

679
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: anybody notice if this justice's hands were bandaged up while

680
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: he was delivering this because it feels like the sort

681
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: of thing like you.

682
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 5: Could sit inside job.

683
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying, so show me your hands, sir.

684
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 5: It's it's clearly the most efficient way to get this ruling.

685
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, because it's like such an inexplicable move like

686
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: move by the person to just go in there and

687
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: be like doope to doop de doo.

688
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are these things do?

689
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is going to have immediate, really fucked

690
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: up consequences for fertility specialists. They don't really like doctors

691
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: aren't even sure how to proceed in light of this,

692
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: because point they've been given absolutely no guidance and it's

693
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: just so kind of out of left field that there's

694
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: not a clear path.

695
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: Forward for them. So no, yeah, and like using laws

696
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: from like the nineteenth century to like kind of be

697
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: part of like their reasoning. I mean, it's just you know,

698
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: it's by every definition, the most regressive form of creating

699
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: a law to punish people for whatever. Again, because the

700
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: agenda is these clumps of cells are human beings, and

701
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: I think that's what a lot of people whenever these

702
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: sort of declarations are made, You're always like, okay, so

703
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: then what does that mean? Like what rights do they

704
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: have too? Like if they are a person, then do

705
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: they have don't they got rights? And then how does

706
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 2: that work? But the other thing is too with these

707
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: embryos that are stored, they're saying that like you can't

708
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: these these IVF clinics have to store the embryos like

709
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: imperpetuity dues. Like there's no there is no like disposing

710
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: of embryos. They said, even after quote even after the

711
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: couple's children, grandchildren, and even great grandchildren have died, they

712
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: must remain in cryogenic storage. And again it's just to

713
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: make it completely.

714
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: Catscade of little ripple effects. I mean, I can just

715
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 5: imagine like the clerk for this judge like every ten

716
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 5: minutes walking back into office and that Okay, I just

717
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 5: figured out, like we're gonna have to answer this thing too.

718
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 5: It's like okay, oh, but what about okay, so I

719
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 5: guess that's store them forever. Okay, write that down. Okay,

720
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 5: now we'll get you.

721
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah right, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll

722
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: be right back.

723
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 3: And we're back.

724
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: And the fallout from Trump's financial ruling keeps coming. First,

725
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: he starts selling the sick Golden sneakers at Sneaker con

726
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: and now New York is losing two of its most

727
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: promising and successful entrepreneurs. The guy who made Dilbert and

728
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: the dumb guy from Shark Tank are both They've both

729
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: announced if New York's gonna be a dick about it,

730
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: then they're not. They're not gonna do business in New York.

731
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: So this is following the ruling that Trump has to

732
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: pay three hundred and fifty five million dollars plus interest

733
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: for lying about his wealth and inflating the value of

734
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: his assets. Canadian businessman in Shark Tank goon Kevin O'Leary,

735
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: he told Fox News that he will never invest in

736
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: New York now because it is a lose, loser state.

737
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: Sir, are you vying for a cabinet position too? What's

738
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: going on? He said?

739
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: It was already a loser state like California is a

740
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: loser state. There are many loser states because of policies,

741
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: high taxes, and uncompetitive regulations. It was already at the

742
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: top of the list of loser states. Never invest in

743
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: New York. And I'm not the only person saying that

744
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: I love. He really has the trump ism of like

745
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: people are saying, I'm not the only one.

746
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: A lot everybody.

747
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Everybody's saying these people are losers.

748
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: The New York is the top of the loser states.

749
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: So funny, Yes, everybody says they're a loser, also behind

750
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: your back, and they just don't tell you to your face,

751
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: but like everyone's saying it.

752
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: Also, if there's one thing O'Leary is an expert in,

753
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: it's being a loser. According to his turn on Celebrity Jeopardy,

754
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah he got is that Aaron Rodgers?

755
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah he might.

756
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: I think that's Aaron Rodgers at twelve thousand, eight hundred

757
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: dollars and mister Wonderful at negative two thousand, eight hundred.

758
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: It's up there with Wolf Blitzer on the list of

759
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: like Celebrity Jeopardies where you're like, oh, this, this is

760
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: this paints you in a completely different light than what

761
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: is portrayed on Televion yeah.

762
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 5: I wonder he like wolf did poorly. I didn't. I

763
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 5: didn't catch that one. Oh man, really yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,

764
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 5: you got it.

765
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: You gotta watch the highlights of that one. That's pretty

766
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: funn I think he's also it's him, and also the

767
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: other person is I think Senator Mark Kelly. It looks like, yeah,

768
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers.

769
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean I remember that being like one of the

770
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: rationales for like why he might be a good host

771
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: is that he did well in Celebrity Jeopardy. The fact

772
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is at twelve thousand, eight hundred and

773
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: Senator Mark Kelly is at eight thousand and six hundred.

774
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 2: An astronaut, you know, yeah, and then mister wonderful's ass

775
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: he owes money. Yeah.

776
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: And then Scott Adams of course wrote on Twitter that

777
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: he's canceling all New York City business trips until the

778
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: Trump property seizure is reversed. Also, no new businesses with

779
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: New York entities.

780
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: So oh, people were did the public did the publishing

781
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: industry move towns? But we'll see they don't fucking work

782
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 2: with him anymore? Oh right, right, right right.

783
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: People questioned why he would even be going to New York.

784
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: He defensively said, everyone in my line of work has

785
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: regular NYC trips, But since his strip was dropped by

786
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: its distributor after he went on a bunch of racist tirades,

787
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: his line of work these days seems to be making

788
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: YouTube videos and solicitening crowd funding money with cartooning lessons

789
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: and a new I guess there's a new like red

790
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: band trailer version of Dilbert that you can get a

791
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: version of Dilbert Spicy Dilbert.

792
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you know.

793
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 5: I yeah. I got my start here in New York

794
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 5: in public radio and worked, you know, for WMC. And

795
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 5: like this story of like people claiming to leave New

796
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 5: York and take their business elsewhere. I mean, it's like

797
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 5: the oldest story in the book. And I mean it

798
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 5: often plays out with like New Jersey and New York

799
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 5: and New Jersey cutting its taxes to try and lower

800
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 5: businesses away, and you know, it's occasionally happened, but it

801
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: just it does not happen. People do not follow up

802
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 5: on this. I mean, I think for the obvious reasons,

803
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 5: but it's like this is the cultural capital, this is

804
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 5: the human capital. Like people do not realize that, like

805
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,479
Speaker 5: this is where the people who actually you will need

806
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 5: to populate a lot of your businesses are And I

807
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 5: just like, I don't know how what game people think

808
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 5: they're playing when time and time again, you know, even

809
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 5: like you know, post pandemic, this whole story about office

810
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 5: occupancy being a huge problem in New York, it's like

811
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 5: bouncing back in the last six months in a way

812
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 5: that people didn't really you know, it is starting to

813
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 5: bounce back. I just I just think people don't realize

814
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 5: that they're never going to win by like playing this

815
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 5: game with New York City.

816
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and also just having like the least principled

817
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 2: boycott ever to be like, and I'm standing on like

818
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: this is this is this is a very like highly

819
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 2: moral ground. These are this is why I'm saying we

820
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: shouldn't do it, Like because even truckers were also getting

821
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: in on this too. They started grumbling about how they

822
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: could bring New York City to its knees over this

823
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 2: shit by boycotting the city.

824
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 5: One trucker on TikTok. Maybe. I mean there's a media

825
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 5: element here too, right that it's like, yeah, we put

826
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 5: a spotlight on these people and they're grumbling, and then

827
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 5: we don't actually follow up on their actual.

828
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 2: Because yeah, there's this guy like you're referencing Chicago Ray

829
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: on TikTok and he said, I've been on the radio

830
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 2: talking to drivers for about the past hour, and I've

831
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 2: talked to about ten drivers.

832
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 5: Uh huh.

833
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 2: And he said, I don't know how far across the

834
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: country this is or how many truckers are going to

835
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: start denying loads going to New York City, but I'll

836
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: tell you what. You fuck around and find out. And

837
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: two days later he took the video down and folded

838
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 2: like Origami, and then he said, quote, just to be clear,

839
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: I'm no figurehead of any movement. I'm not leading, nor

840
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: have I encouraged or am I encouraging anyone to do

841
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 2: anything other than what they were doing prior to their

842
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 2: ruling Friday in New York City. And they also mentioned

843
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: that his grandson saw his shit go viral on TikTok,

844
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 2: and I think presumably maybe didn't want to embarrass him

845
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 2: any further, because it's probably bad enough that his grandpa

846
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 2: goes by Chicago Ray. Other truckers just out of like

847
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 2: they immediately dismissed this boycott. They're like, dude, I haven't

848
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 2: heard a single thing about anything being close to an

849
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: organized boycott or strike or whatever. And it seems to

850
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 2: be like there is organic anger over New York City

851
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: from truckers, but that seems to stem from the fact

852
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: that a lot of trucks, like truckers are now made

853
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: to pay tolls in the city, and they're more like

854
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: that would probably be a bigger reason where you'd see

855
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 2: something organized from truckers, not because they're all like, it's

856
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 2: not fair that the guy who did fraud and hasn't

857
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 2: denied that it was fraud. He just said that he

858
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 2: has a right to do it. I don't like that

859
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 2: they're enforcing the law against this person.

860
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: Still, I mean, that's a pretty big statement coming from

861
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean that that's the he covered Chicago territory for

862
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: all the rays.

863
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he is Chicago Ray.

864
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: He's the ray for all.

865
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 2: Of What does New York Ray have to say?

866
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: Oh?

867
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 5: I know exactly was that was what.

868
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: It was on my mind. But maybe maybe.

869
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 5: They famous ray versus Chicago Ray.

870
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:22,479
Speaker 1: There's so many rays in New York claiming supremacy over

871
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: one another. The first famous rays fa.

872
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 5: I think there's a there's a pizza shop I've seen

873
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 5: called like original Famous Rays. Yeah, just like and you know,

874
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 5: you look at that sign and you're like, there was

875
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 5: just like thirty years worth of backstory, collection of words.

876
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: The original not like those busters over one block up.

877
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: I think they're like a dozen that claimed to be

878
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: the original Famous Rays. But yeah, god, the ray Wars

879
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: of the nineteen seventies or whenever the fuck that happened,

880
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. Famous Rays. I don't know what

881
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: they're famous for. I don't think it's their pizza, because

882
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: that is probably I'd say, like Famous Rays is the

883
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: most mediocre of the New York pizzas, Like it's it's

884
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: good because like it's.

885
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 5: Which what are you thinking about?

886
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the one on like in the thirties

887
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: on the East Side. That was the one that was

888
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: like close to my the apartment of like that I

889
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: spent most time at at that time. So and it

890
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: was not good. But yeah, it's also highly variable too,

891
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: which not great for a pizza chain. All right, should

892
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: we talk measles huge comeback with a with a possible

893
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: exception of justin Timberlake's album, The worst comeback of twenty

894
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty four has been measles. Right now, there's a measles

895
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: outbreak at a South Florida elementary school.

896
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: Uh oh, miles, have you been thinking why am I

897
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 2: on trial? Well? Have you been hanging out at any elementary?

898
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 5: This is where that this is where a court order

899
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 5: actually really is saving your butt.

900
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: Here.

901
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: The World Health Organization just warned that last year's measles

902
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: cases saw a seventy nine percent increase from twenty twenty two,

903
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: which is pretty bad for a disease that was declared

904
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: eliminated from the US in the year two thousand. The

905
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: big problem here, of course, is that vaccination rates are falling.

906
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one twenty two school year, an estimated

907
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: ninety three percent of the country's four million kindergarten children

908
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: had recorded getting their recommended vaccines for guarding against measles, tetanus, polio,

909
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: and arrisella. That which might not sound bad, but that

910
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: number was down from ninety four percent the previous year

911
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: ninety five percent the year before that. It also means

912
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: that nearly two hundred and fifty thousand kindergarteners are potentially

913
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: not protected against measles, which.

914
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 5: I think you mean two hundred and fifty thousand kindergarteners

915
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,280
Speaker 5: are are now open for natural immunity.

916
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly to be naturally immunized.

917
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

918
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been immunized. That's what That's what my kindergartner

919
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: asked when I said, wait, did we get you your vaccine? Yeah,

920
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: that I've been immunized.

921
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember those three weeks of school you missed

922
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 5: you were getting.

923
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, like any vaccines, you know, it's not one.

924
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: So you need large vaccination numbers to act as a

925
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: firewall to keep it from spreading. And we are trending

926
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. There have been reports and measles

927
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: outbreaks in recent years prior to the pandemic, like the

928
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: one in Disneyland, but following the COVID shit show, things

929
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: seem to be getting worse thanks to what they're calling

930
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: spillover a hesitancy, which is, you know, fear of the

931
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine causing people to avoid other vaccines.

932
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 5: So there's a dynamic here that obviously played out during COVID,

933
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 5: but like there's a distinction between vaccine skepticism, which I

934
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 5: think is you know, worth interrogating, and it's pretty it's

935
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 5: pretty awful as well. But then also this downplaying of

936
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 5: the disease itself. And I mean that's one of the

937
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 5: you know, many things in the around COVID that just

938
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 5: made so thishearts like people were twisting themselves into logic

939
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 5: to then just say like, oh, actually, you're not that sick.

940
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 5: And I think that's starting to happen here too, where

941
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 5: people will be like, oh, measles is not that bad.

942
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 5: It's not just I'm skeptical vaccines for all these reasons

943
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 5: that I've deluded myself. But it's more of that next

944
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 5: logical step is than to say that these diseases aren't bad.

945
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's natural. It's from the earth. Man. What's more

946
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: natural than measles?

947
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: It's measles, don't the black plague?

948
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 3: Yeah?

949
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

950
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: The I mean, so there are a lot of people

951
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: actively doing what you're describing, downplaying the severity of measles,

952
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: like the president of the Children's Health Defense, which sounds

953
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: great name, sounds like a name that like ten years ago,

954
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: I'd be like, sign me up Children's Health Defense, But now, like,

955
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: knowing what we know, I'm like, this was founded by

956
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: RFK Junior, wasn't it? And guess what it was? She said,

957
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: it's not a super severe, serious illness. When you're a child,

958
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: it's a couple of days in spots and then you

959
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: move on, and kids love spots, like Mike loves Polka dots.

960
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: She didn't say that last part, but like that's basically

961
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: trying to make it into like a fun a fun thing, yeah,

962
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: that you know, we shouldn't be too worried about. Unfortunately,

963
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: there is a type of thing called a wellness influencer,

964
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: and they've been promoting the idea of measles parties to

965
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: expose kids and just like get it over with, which

966
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: is a very dangerous relic of the past that largely

967
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: ended with the availability of vaccines and now is coming

968
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:45,959
Speaker 1: back because.

969
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 2: Do you know what's in the vaccine? Can? Because then yeah,

970
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: no further questions, your answer. Do you know what's in

971
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: your diet cream? Soda? You're drinking right now?

972
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: Found com and soda, No further question.

973
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you're on your questions, you answer your question.

974
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's just like it's so wild too,

975
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: because like every time, like the so all of this

976
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 2: started because of that fucking stupid debunked medical journal post

977
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 2: about the guy who is trying to link the MMR

978
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: vaccine to autism, and every journal who published it had

979
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 2: to retract it. They had to be like, this guy's

980
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 2: a fucking fraud. And it was exposed that he only

981
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 2: started doing this for his own personal gain because he

982
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: had a financial stake in an alternative MMR vaccine, and

983
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 2: that was like his way to be like, oh man,

984
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 2: this will get that. This is the best, this is

985
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 2: the best marketing ever. And now look at where we are.

986
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: And yeah, you have people constantly being like I just

987
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: don't know. Like I know people who've said to me

988
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: like I just don't know, like what will happen if

989
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 2: I take the COVID vaccine or whatever. I'm like, what

990
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: are the possibilities that you've heard of? And it's like, well,

991
00:48:58,960 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: I just don't know.

992
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: You just don't know. I can't predict the future. It's

993
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 1: just like Okay, yeah, no, that I guess that's true.

994
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: And you know how that we can do to argue

995
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: with that. So you know how you'll react if you

996
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: have COVID? Do you know know absolutely for certain that

997
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: there's a one hundred percent chance that I won't have

998
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: a bad reaction to this vaccine. It's like, you know

999
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: or have the numbers where here's the percentage chance that

1000
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: you'll have a bad reaction with the vaccine, and then

1001
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: here's the percentage chants that without it you're going to

1002
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: get a serious case of COVID that will kill you.

1003
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 5: And then one other question, just as I weigh my options,

1004
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 5: but like, what are you know at the measles party?

1005
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 5: Like what are the snacks?

1006
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 2: Right? They are used lollipops. They're lollipops that you comes in,

1007
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 2: lick a lolly, leave it at the door. Then you

1008
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 2: reach in a bag, take one out, like it, put

1009
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 2: it back in, and we do that about for about

1010
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 2: five rounds, and then we're okay.

1011
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 5: New York I measles outbreak in twenty nineteen I think

1012
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 5: it was, and the measles parties thing came up, and

1013
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 5: I just found our is written around that period where

1014
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 5: just my heart goes out to the reporter who has

1015
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 5: to write an article headlined, Yeah, why measles parties are

1016
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 5: a bad idea for parents? Yes, And they have to

1017
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 5: call up like a very credential person from the CDC

1018
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 5: and ask them should you have measles parties? And then

1019
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 5: they're like doctor from the CDC has to give a

1020
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 5: quote saying you should not have measos parties because quote,

1021
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 5: vaccines are very effective. Right, yeah, you have to write

1022
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 5: up this whole article, but yeah, you shouldn't have a

1023
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 5: measless party.

1024
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, then they have to like write a first person account.

1025
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1026
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,280
Speaker 1: The clink of the glasses and hum of children chattering

1027
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: with one another.

1028
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 5: Set the scene here. You want to go gonzo on this,

1029
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 5: I think I need you to go hunder s Thompson

1030
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 5: on this one.

1031
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: And then our junior himself, of course then a major

1032
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: source of measles misinformation. He once claimed that chicken soup

1033
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: was more effective than the vaccine. There, he is your

1034
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: presidential candidate. Everybody are FK Junior?

1035
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

1036
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: The people on the right are arguing, of course that

1037
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: mules vaccine, not really talking about the musles vaccine so

1038
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: much as just blaming any outbreaks on migrants being allowed

1039
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: into the country by Joe Biden.

1040
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, yeah yeah so but I also just

1041
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: like how there was like in back, like when there

1042
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 2: was an outbreak at like an immigration detention center, what

1043
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 2: a euphemistic name for that facility like that, They're like, oh, man,

1044
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 2: like it's because of the migrants in there. We're getting

1045
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 2: all this, we're getting like all this outbreak happened, and

1046
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: it's because a lot of the staff. There were plenty

1047
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: many staff members that refused to get vaccinated anyway, just

1048
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 2: a snaky in its own tail at this point. But hey,

1049
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 2: it's Joe Biden. I wonder if they have the what

1050
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: else they can blame on? I guess they there. Really,

1051
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: there's no there's no end to what conservatives will blame

1052
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 2: migrants for, like anything. No, Like yeah, like Taylor Swift

1053
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 2: is popular because of migrants. They're actually the ones playing

1054
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 2: her songs, and that's why she's so popular, and actually

1055
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 2: migrants are responsible for you know whatever, whatever the outrage

1056
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 2: your is.

1057
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,400

1107
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: is when you don't watch a show because you don't

1108
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: feel like it, and then when the season is over,

1109
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: everyone agrees that it sucked. Yes, I was right to

1110
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: not watch that show. I chose not to because I

1111
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 1: am wise, and that's just a feeling that I identify with.

1112

Speaker 1: get food poisoning, they always tell you it came out

1116
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: of both ends. There's no need to malign the ass

1117
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: in that scenario. The food was going to come out

1118
