Speaker 1: I think it's like, only not my favorite food because
Speaker 1: it's kind of just air, But otherwise it's pretty much
Speaker 1: and I like to make it on the stovetop, because
Speaker 1: then you can flavor it however you want. You know,
Speaker 1: you can do the balance your way. It's not up
Speaker 1: to the microwave bag.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. When you do it on the stovetop, would
Speaker 3: you put like an escalet or some shit.
Speaker 1: I have a I have a custom uh not appliance.
Speaker 1: But it's like an aluminum pot with a GisMo on it.
Speaker 1: It's called a whirly Pop And so you put all
Speaker 1: the kernels in it, and then there's a rotating tool
Speaker 1: that moves the kernels so that they like keeping around
Speaker 1: and pop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fantastic.
Speaker 3: And then how do you see it? Like, what's your seat?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: You put the seasonings in with the kernels.

Speaker 4: my life. It's what wild. It's so good. It's so good.
Speaker 4: It's only there in the month of November, though, and
Speaker 4: it sells out pretty quick. If they have it next year,
Speaker 4: I'm buying so many bags.
Speaker 3: It's I'm fucking dead inside. I love stuffing is like
Speaker 3: one of the is really for me, one of my
Speaker 3: favorite things. I love everything. I love everything, and thanks,
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, but I fucking love stuffing same.
Speaker 3: I think it's set time. It's the every the celery,
Speaker 3: the onion popcorn that tastes like that.
Speaker 4: It tastes just like it too. Like I was shocked.
Speaker 4: And when I went back to Trader Joe's trying to
Speaker 4: get it again, they didn't have it. But the lady
Speaker 4: pointed me to the seasoning that they have that they
Speaker 4: used for the popcorn, and the seasoning is called everything
Speaker 4: but the Leftovers, and I think they have that year round.
Speaker 4: Not positive And it's fine youself, you've had that one.
Speaker 4: I have put it on popcorn. Yeah, there it is there,
Speaker 4: it is, so you had it worless.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, we're learning a lot. We're learning a lot
Speaker 3: about each other. Where are you on the you know,
Speaker 3: like the tins of popcorn that you would get at
Speaker 3: the mall.
Speaker 4: I love a good tin of popcorn. I'm not mad.
Speaker 4: I'm not a super sweet popcorn girly, but I do
Speaker 4: like when they mix the like white cheddar, carmel or
Speaker 4: something fire. My mom is also from Chicago, and Chicago
Speaker 4: has like this big thing around.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but what's the what's the spot?
Speaker 4: Like, I can't remember the name. What's the name?
Speaker 3: Do you know, Alex producer producer?
Speaker 4: Justin?
Speaker 3: You're from this You're from Chicago area. Garrett's Garrett, thank
Speaker 3: you Justin. See we always have proper Chicago representation here.
Speaker 1: There's like nuts sign. Clark has the bags too, she
Speaker 1: can do that, but but garretts, Yeah, that's the way
Speaker 1: to get the tub of the three.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sure, your mom's from Chicago, she is, all right.
Speaker 3: Is your dad from Chicago?
Speaker 4: No, my dad's from Alabama.
Speaker 3: Oh okay. See it's interesting, like because my grandparents came
Speaker 3: out from Chicago to l A. There's like there's always
Speaker 3: there's always that poole happening. I think it was mostly
Speaker 3: the Second World War that did that from our grandparents.
Speaker 4: But that'll do it.
Speaker 3: But anyway, so we will get to know you and
Speaker 3: your love of popcorns and other things much better. But
Speaker 3: first we've got to tell people, give them a light
Speaker 3: preview as to what we're going to talk about today.
Speaker 3: We're talking about what is going on with Donald Trump's hands.
Speaker 3: You probably on Twitter and everyone's like he's got simplest
Speaker 3: or it's you know, he's playing too much PlayStation. We will,
Speaker 3: we will dive into this because I don't think it's simplist.
Speaker 3: But we have James Carville to thank, Fank for that,
Speaker 3: the rage and cajun Uh and former Clinton advisor also
Speaker 3: in just other just very obviously culturally significant news. We
Speaker 3: must discuss whatever the fuck is going on in this
Speaker 3: new Jennifer Lopez movie.
Speaker 4: We must.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I saw the trailer. I like to think
Speaker 3: I have good sort of visual comprehension, but I'm not
Speaker 3: sure if I can like adequately describe what this is.
Speaker 3: So we will. We will take that journey together and
Speaker 3: try and figure out using our combined intellectual strength to
Speaker 3: decode whatever that trailer was.
Speaker 1: Then mals you you saying that I wish you were
Speaker 1: describing like made in Manhattan too, or something like just
Speaker 1: the most.
Speaker 3: Real of what was it? Marry me, marry me? Say yes,
Speaker 3: what was that movie? Was that was that? I think? Yeah, dude,
Speaker 3: I don't know why I watch every like when Jaylo
Speaker 3: puts something out, I fucking watch it.
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot of right, Yeah, yeah, a
Speaker 4: lot of people feel that way about her acting roles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, but it's not even I don't
Speaker 3: know what the thing is. I'm like, I gotta respect it.
Speaker 3: I think it's because she was Selena, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: ever since then, I'm like, you know what, j Loo,
Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm gonna watch everything, even straight
Speaker 3: to Peacock movie.
Speaker 4: Black people love Selena?
Speaker 3: Oh hell you exactly, and also like West Coast like
Speaker 3: West Coast no matter what, but especially like for black
Speaker 3: people on the West Coast, you know what time it
Speaker 3: is with Selena. So we got it. We gotta shout
Speaker 3: out Selena. But then we'll also talking about this conservative
Speaker 3: Michael Knowles. He's so smart that he actually proved that
Speaker 3: white people are incapable of seeing race. He's figured it out.
Speaker 3: He has the proof, or he will just very in
Speaker 3: bad faith misinterpret survey and say that's what it is.
Speaker 3: But anyway, we'll get to that plenty more. We might
Speaker 3: even talk about Blue Monday, which is like this thing
Speaker 3: that happens in the UK and sometimes we see it
Speaker 3: over here and what is going on with that? It
Speaker 3: just turns out it's a sales thing. But we'll get
Speaker 3: into that plenty more. But first, Secoya be Holmes, we
Speaker 3: must ask you what is something from your search history?
Speaker 4: Okay? I recently searched Billie Eilish and Renee wrapped together
Speaker 4: in a photo because I have a hard time believing
Speaker 4: that's not the same person. Tell me that's not the
Speaker 4: same person. It is the same human being at a
Speaker 4: baseline related and it doesn't cousins, right, I might get
Speaker 4: improved of that. So is it on the firm theory?
Speaker 3: What do you think it? Is it the head shape,
Speaker 3: because that's where I feel like they've with their blonde hair,
Speaker 3: the way their hair falls and their head face shape.
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, that's we're an eyelish territory. You know what.
Speaker 4: Honestly, it's the whole middle part of their face. It's
Speaker 4: really the whole face. But it's something about the eyes.
Speaker 4: They both have these kind of like not dead behind
Speaker 4: the eyes a little like they've seen some things behind
Speaker 4: the eyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll have that look. Yeah, are you?
Speaker 1: It almost feels like they're both characters in a movie
Speaker 1: where it's twins swapping lives or something, you.
Speaker 4: Know, parent trap from them. That would be so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah. She also like I would believe if she was
Speaker 3: related to Pink too.
Speaker 4: Oh, I could definitely see that. Yeah, yeah, I can
Speaker 4: see that. That makes it.
Speaker 3: But what are we? Are we putting another or should
Speaker 3: we put the conspiracy theory out there now that they
Speaker 3: are one and the same.
Speaker 4: I do think I will until I see them together.
Speaker 4: You can't tell me otherwise, So.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I like this? What this again? Maybe we
Speaker 3: just start a podcast about that's called how come billion
Speaker 3: Renee and in the same photo? Ever?
Speaker 4: Why not put them together?
Speaker 3: Now? For me?
Speaker 4: Wrong?
Speaker 3: Also? Oh, I forgot to ask were you on since
Speaker 3: you had Haley from Paramour on your I don't know
Speaker 3: if I've been on. I was fucking geeking when I
Speaker 3: saw that ship.
Speaker 4: Thanks.
Speaker 3: I was like that, yeah, blown the fun? Oh way,
Speaker 3: And it sounded like you had such a good time.
Speaker 3: I'm I just wanted to I just want to point
Speaker 3: that out that I saw that. I thought it was great.
Speaker 3: It gave me excitement and in a way that I
Speaker 3: don't think I ever have.
Speaker 4: I was so excited to post it.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, were sitting Were you sitting on
Speaker 3: that for a minute?
Speaker 4: For a minute. It was very hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I've ever sat on a picture
Speaker 3: like that, Like I hope to one day be like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, posters ship come.
Speaker 4: I couldn't even sleep. I woke up in like five am,
Speaker 4: like posting it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, right for the East Coast.
Speaker 4: Obviously they got it.
Speaker 3: People people in the g M T. Greenwich meantime also
Speaker 3: love Paramore. You might have posted them at that time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got it.
Speaker 3: What's something that you think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Quia Coldstone Creamery is the most overrated ice cream chain
Speaker 4: among them, for sure.
Speaker 3: Go on, what is it about it? What are we saying?
Speaker 4: It's so rich?
Speaker 3: Old Son is so rich.
Speaker 4: The flavor combinations are not interesting or original, and it's
Speaker 4: just kind of gross, Like it tastes like I'm eating cheese,
Speaker 4: and we know I don't like cheese. I'll talk you
Speaker 4: about this on the first episode. I don't like cheese,
Speaker 4: and it tastes like I'm eating cheese every time. I like, I.
Speaker 1: Like that you've covered anti cold Stone. And then with
Speaker 1: the even bigger take of anti cheese, that's like just escalating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the fucking attack of me, like it tastes like cheese.
Speaker 4: I don't want to eat that.
Speaker 3: Okay, then what's the superior ice cream for you? Like,
Speaker 3: if you're saying get that out of the way, allow
Speaker 3: me to introduce you, or we should be embracing this place.
Speaker 4: I'm a Jenny's ice cream girly. I think that's in
Speaker 4: different spots in the US, not as pervasive as a
Speaker 4: cult stone. I also love Hogandaws. Hogan Das has fallen
Speaker 4: out of public grace recently or public I don't know
Speaker 4: public in general. Yeah, I like haganda. It's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hogingized because like the whole thing was like it
Speaker 3: was based on like a fake like the mirage of
Speaker 3: it being this fancy ice cream place. But the people
Speaker 3: were just like, what can we name this ship to
Speaker 3: make people think this ship is fucking fancy?
Speaker 4: They said, And they got my ass cause yeah, I'll
Speaker 4: stay with a little pine of Hogganize and the freezer's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jenny's has some good. I mean Jenny's. I feel
Speaker 3: like they have nationwide distribution now, like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, it is in my grocery stores and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because whenever I see it, I'm like, oh shit, okay,
Speaker 3: what about you? Yeah, Alex, you got where were you
Speaker 3: in on this ice cream debate?
Speaker 1: I had never thought about my opinion of Coldstone, and
Speaker 1: I think I don't like it that much either, because
Speaker 1: I'm not that at a toppings on ice cream, and
Speaker 1: then their whole process is sort of toppings all over
Speaker 1: and I don't really need that. My toppings. The ice
Speaker 1: cream is so good already.
Speaker 4: It's wild because the ice cream is good, but it's
Speaker 4: not at Coldsland. That's what I have to lean on
Speaker 4: the top things.
Speaker 3: This is the thing, the one when I would I
Speaker 3: used to work when I worked at this laser tag
Speaker 3: place back in high school and college doing like kids birthdays.
Speaker 3: The spot was above a Coldstone, and so I would
Speaker 3: go down there and I would trade like laser tags
Speaker 3: and ship with like the people that worked at the
Speaker 3: cold Stone. They're like, oh, let me hook you up.
Speaker 3: I was like, please, don't. I just want I just
Speaker 3: want this sweet cream ice cream on its own like
Speaker 3: that was the only thing I ate there. I did
Speaker 3: not like they would be like, oh, you're gonna try
Speaker 3: the apple pie all the mode. I'm like, I do not.
Speaker 3: Please listen to me when I say, you're hooking me
Speaker 3: up by just giving me a big ass cup of
Speaker 3: sweet cream ice cream.
Speaker 4: That's hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. That's it. It's not so difficult, is it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Jenny's got it. What's the one that I fucking I'm
Speaker 3: absolutely in love with? Over there? Gooey buttercake, gooey buttercake.
Speaker 4: Oh oh at Jenny's. Yes, the buttercake wanted Jenny's. Yes,
Speaker 4: Their salty caramel is my favorite. It's so good, It's
Speaker 4: perfect Jenny's.
Speaker 3: And we're looking, we're willing to look past the listerious
Speaker 3: scare that you had a few years ago, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean the show I remember Pull on Andone
Speaker 3: was like, no, our favorite ice you place, you just
Speaker 3: eat around it, eat around the listeia flea.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When you said that, I suddenly imagined it being Jenny's fault. Personally,
Speaker 1: I don't know who Jenny is. Just was like seeing
Speaker 1: something into the ice cream.
Speaker 3: That was the story one of the Desperate housewives living
Speaker 3: on Listeria lane or whatever are you are? You just
Speaker 3: wasn't there called that sounds right with Yeah anyway, sorry,
Speaker 3: that was a bad you know what, I'll see myself out.
Speaker 3: I'm doing Desperate Housewives references in the Year of harlrd
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: Because I fell for it.
Speaker 3: It's clear what is something you think is under rated?
Speaker 4: We're gonna stick with the ice cream theme here perfect
Speaker 4: or a frozen yogan de general, a simple tart flavored
Speaker 4: frozen yogurt, or a plane vanilla ice cream is so superior.
Speaker 4: And if you have those done well, you don't need
Speaker 4: all the bells and whistles that everybody's doing right now.
Speaker 3: Yep, who's your what's your who's your favorite tart? Frozen,
Speaker 3: your gurt or ice cream?
Speaker 4: You know what, I'm pretty indifferent. I can get it
Speaker 4: from yogurt Land. I could do tooty fruity, I could
Speaker 4: do pink berry, I could do pretty much anything with
Speaker 4: a tart frozen yogurt. I haven't seen that messed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Beau's got that little yogurty bite to it,
Speaker 3: just a.
Speaker 4: Little a little pucker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good. It reminds you like when I could,
Speaker 3: Like my mom wouldn't buy me like snack pack or
Speaker 3: like chocolate pudding at the storage, Like you should be
Speaker 3: yogurt and I'm like, there's no fucker sugar in here,
Speaker 3: but I'll but like that's all I could get down on.
Speaker 3: So once. I remember when pink berry came out, I
Speaker 3: was like, again, I'll just eat this yep. No topics
Speaker 3: like if.
Speaker 4: You a regular yogurt in the freezer, is it frozen yogurt?
Speaker 4: Or is there something special about frozen yogurt? Is it
Speaker 4: not just frozen yogurt?
Speaker 3: What is it? I don't know, I don't know how
Speaker 3: they make it.
Speaker 1: I'm realizing this. It's always just been an except and
Speaker 1: I pulled the handle right, It's probably good.
Speaker 3: Alex, are you a topping guy? Are you a simple
Speaker 3: pleasures guy? Because I know obviously you don't like your
Speaker 3: popcorn simple? Do you like yogurt simple?
Speaker 1: I think I'm very excited that I'm finding all three
Speaker 1: of us are so on the team of simple dessert,
Speaker 1: and like, make dessert just one thing. When you're having dessert, just.
Speaker 4: Do it well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I even the how like winter always reminds
Speaker 1: me that I don't like agnog very much, because I
Speaker 1: don't need dessert to also be alcohol, Like I can
Speaker 1: just have alcohol.
Speaker 3: The flavor fucking goes.
Speaker 4: I don't even put alcohol mine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the flavor go I will eat the ice cream.
Speaker 1: We were doing so fucking well, missus this year.
Speaker 4: This last year, I found a ice cream sandwich that
Speaker 4: had eggnog in the middle. It was an eggnog ice
Speaker 4: cream sandwich.
Speaker 3: But now sounds pretty good. Where was that at?
Speaker 4: It was that uh like Raups or Bonds, one of
Speaker 4: those main grocery store chains. It was the signature Selects
Speaker 4: brand by the grocery chain brand.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes sometimes they don't miss they understand our simple
Speaker 3: palettes that were little babies who just want to drink
Speaker 3: and have yogurt all day. All right, well, we're gonna
Speaker 3: take a break, we're gonna come back, and we're gonna
Speaker 3: get into some just hard hitting those like does Trump
Speaker 3: have syphilis? Right after this and we're back. And I'm
Speaker 3: sure some of you have probably heard of this this
Speaker 3: or luckily maybe some of you are doing the good
Speaker 3: thing and not spending a lot of time on social media.
Speaker 3: But there was a picture of Donald Trump that was
Speaker 3: really just doing the rounds on the internet on Thursday
Speaker 3: or on Wednesday going into Thursday as well, where he
Speaker 3: was just leaving the courtroom where he was absolutely having
Speaker 3: a fit. We'll probably touch on that next week and
Speaker 3: was just giving just a wave to the supporters and
Speaker 3: the reporters, and someone took a photo of this and
Speaker 3: on his right hand, I'm not unlike a for teen
Speaker 3: year old's year book photo. It was covered in red
Speaker 3: splotches and people were like, what is going on with
Speaker 3: his hands? People online joke that he said the red
Speaker 3: spots could be everything from most McDonald's catch up, because
Speaker 3: you know he loves McDonald's to red ink from top
Speaker 3: secret documents. But then the word syphilis started trending on
Speaker 3: social media and if you clicked it, you're like, what
Speaker 3: are we doing here? And it all basically if it
Speaker 3: seems like it all comes from an unverified claim made
Speaker 3: by James Cavell, the rageing Cajun who loved to just
Speaker 3: talk a lot of smoke about Donald Trump, and on
Speaker 3: his live cast show he said this about the photo.
Speaker 7: He said, they don't look like cuts to me. They
Speaker 7: look like sores. And I've asked a number of mds
Speaker 7: what medical condition manifested itself through hand sores, and the
Speaker 7: answer is immediate and unanimous secondary syphilis. I said, what
Speaker 7: the secondary syphilist? He also said, maybe the picture was
Speaker 7: doctored or whatever. Even the store will go somewhere, maybe
Speaker 7: it won't.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, sir, First of all, you can't just
Speaker 3: I know you want to just be saying this ship,
Speaker 3: but this is not journalism at all. Maybe it was
Speaker 3: doctored or whatever, and maybe it'll go somewhere that I'm
Speaker 3: saying out loud that this is simbilist whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mean, he's not going to get the Pulitzer
Speaker 1: for guessing about hands.
Speaker 4: Was not going to get that word.
Speaker 3: Oh, And I'm just I don't what is secondary syphilis.
Speaker 4: I would imagine my theory on what secondary symphlis is.
Speaker 4: That's real, right, and that manifest you know, we're simpliss
Speaker 4: and usually manifest. I'm not just somewhere on your drunk.
Speaker 4: And then if you're Donald Trump and you tug it often,
Speaker 4: where does it go? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's what that's my theory. Yeah, sphilis. There's
Speaker 3: just there's too much going on. And that was so specific.
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a generalized infection. It's
Speaker 3: characterized by systemic symptomsimation and very infections. Okay whatever. All
Speaker 3: that to say is when I look at that, I'm like,
Speaker 3: as much as I want to be, like, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: Carbo fucking nailed it. This dude has syphilis and it's
Speaker 3: on his hand. That's like that's where everything goes. But
Speaker 3: like everything, like so many people like started talking about
Speaker 3: this that like other like news outlets were like based
Speaker 3: on this syphilist claim, Like they were reaching out to
Speaker 3: dermatologists to be like what is it, Like what could
Speaker 3: be going on? And most peop were saying, like it's
Speaker 3: probably a rash caused by like overwashing, which makes sense.
Speaker 3: We know Trump is like a germophobe. I honestly think
Speaker 3: it's from golfing. That looks like where it is like
Speaker 3: on your hand, that's from just swinging a golf club
Speaker 3: all the time. Like that looks like a friction injury.
Speaker 3: Is Again, look, I'm not here to defend Donald Trump
Speaker 3: and his hands and whatever, the fuck, but it's just
Speaker 3: like the people were getting so giddy about the syphilist
Speaker 3: thing is just a little too much for me, Like real,
Speaker 3: he's playing so much fucking golf and he sucks. He's
Speaker 3: probably his techniques by all fucked up. That he's got
Speaker 3: a lot of blissies. Okay, Yeah, And I think a
Speaker 3: lot of people are giving like this sort of clap
Speaker 3: theory a lot more weight, mostly because of Trump's love
Speaker 3: of not ever making sense when he's speaking out loud
Speaker 3: and they're like, look, got to his brains, man, And
Speaker 3: people claim I was like, it's it's his mental deterioration
Speaker 3: due to the syphilis. It could also be because he's
Speaker 3: old and highly inarticulate. But here a lot of people
Speaker 3: are saying, like, because recently he said this, I'm just
Speaker 3: going to play this clip where he started talking about banks,
Speaker 3: but then it became about something else. I'd try and
Speaker 3: follow along with whatever Donald Trump's was saying here in
Speaker 3: New Hampshire. But we're also going to play strong protections
Speaker 3: to stop banks and regulators from trying to debank you
Speaker 3: from your.
Speaker 4: You know, your your political beliefs.
Speaker 3: What they do, They want to dbank you, and we're
Speaker 3: going to d bank think of this.
Speaker 4: They want to take away your rights, they want to
Speaker 4: take away your country. The things you're doing all electric cars.
Speaker 4: Give me a breakf you want an electric laug day,
Speaker 4: but they don't go far.
Speaker 5: They're very expensive.
Speaker 3: They're going to be mad. They're like boom syphilist someone.
Speaker 1: I feel like someone taught him the word dbunk and
Speaker 1: then he's just messing it up.
Speaker 4: Is that what's to say? D bank?
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know, or he's starting off right. He
Speaker 3: said he wants to play strong protections. I think this
Speaker 3: is a culture war thing to stop banks and regulators
Speaker 3: from dbanking you, because that's like like financially deplatforming like
Speaker 3: hate sites or people who are involved in hate speech.
Speaker 3: You see where they're like, oh, okay, this bank will
Speaker 3: no longer bank with me, or I can't sell my
Speaker 3: like KKK fucking like T shirts with this They don't
Speaker 3: want to do any of my consumer like transactional banking.
Speaker 3: I think that's what he meant, because that's what it's
Speaker 3: like to d bank you from your political that's they
Speaker 3: want to and we're going to d bank think it
Speaker 3: is they're taking away your country. It's like.
Speaker 4: I think it would always end up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that's where it's like. And
Speaker 3: then maybe reflexibly just went into like just you know,
Speaker 3: doing the raw rah, like let's get all angry about
Speaker 3: the fact that America is a diverse place, it felt.
Speaker 3: But then electric car. Then he did electric cars. He
Speaker 3: hit us with electric cars.
Speaker 4: That's why I really got less lost. I don't understand.
Speaker 4: How do we get here?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, if his flow is caused by syphilis, he's had
Speaker 1: syphilis for his entire life. Yeah, he's just seeing it
Speaker 1: on his hands, right right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've always just called it Trump jazz.
Speaker 3: That's just what he does. It's like, it's like and
Speaker 3: then he just changes up to something else, and now
Speaker 3: he's just like playing in a completely different key, and
Speaker 3: you got to follow along with all the changes. But yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, James Carvill, as much as I like to
Speaker 3: say that, you you know you, I like to you
Speaker 3: know that Donald Trump and low and the snake nipples
Speaker 3: and maybe there's a different explanation here for his blisters,
Speaker 3: which it might look like, but who knows.
Speaker 1: Let's it's I feel like it's such a media literacy thing,
Speaker 1: like in broadly, people just need to know that if
Speaker 1: a story sounds way way too exciting and good too,
Speaker 1: that's the story you check the most. If you're thrilled
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump suddenly having weird public syphilis. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: probably it's probably too much of a treat. We're back
Speaker 1: to talking about dessert, you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 3: New flavor from Jenny's secondary Siffy with with I don't know,
Speaker 3: I'm not won't even won't even described. Yeah, I won't
Speaker 3: even describe that, but we get it and then like
Speaker 3: it's true, Alex, Like I think a lot of people
Speaker 3: like with anything, when you're when your confirmation bias is
Speaker 3: set to a certain direction or a certain flow of things,
Speaker 3: narratively speaking, all you need is something that like sort
Speaker 3: of begins to intersect with that to be like, yeah, dude,
Speaker 3: he's got simplis all over his hands. Man, he's losing
Speaker 3: his mind. It's like relax. I know you don't want
Speaker 3: him to be president, but like, let's maybe focus on
Speaker 3: other things I might feel more substantive than just like
Speaker 3: it's the same. Yeah, well, let's focus our energy on
Speaker 3: some thing truly confounding more is than Donald Trump's hand source.
Speaker 3: The trailer for Jennifer Lopez's new Amazon Prime movie just
Speaker 3: hit the internet, and huh is was my first reaction.
Speaker 3: It's called This is Me Now, a love story, and
Speaker 3: it's also the name of her new album, which also
Speaker 3: comes out the same day. So are we doing a
Speaker 3: lemonade type thing here? J Lo? Is that what he says?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: I have to I have to. I'm just I'm looking
Speaker 3: at the pieces and I'm trying to put the information
Speaker 3: together to try and make sense of this. Or is
Speaker 3: this a musical or is it a feature length Gucci
Speaker 3: ad because that's what I also suspect. I'm wondering how
Speaker 3: much money Gucci put it on this, because there is
Speaker 3: so much Gucci in that trailer. I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: like we get it, Like you either sponsored by Gucci
Speaker 3: or they're sponsoring this whole thing, but nobody seems to
Speaker 3: be sure. One person on Twitter said that the plot
Speaker 3: was seemingly about quote, a sex addict who works in
Speaker 3: a nuclear, post apocalyptic factory, which kind of tracks visually.
Speaker 4: Visually like where are we? What's happening?
Speaker 3: Good? What do we like? The open, like the trailer
Speaker 3: open says with a credit that says the movie is
Speaker 3: from the Heart, Soul and Dreams of Jennifer. Like from
Speaker 3: the Heart, Soul and Dreams of Jennifer Lopez. I'm like, okay, okay,
Speaker 3: go on, Like what is this about? And it seems
Speaker 3: very dark then, but then it plays like a like
Speaker 3: a rom com or something where but they say she's
Speaker 3: a sex addict and she's getting married too much, and
Speaker 3: I don't know what what? What do you think? What
Speaker 3: is going on here? Or what were the most confusing
Speaker 3: parts for you guys watching this whole thing?
Speaker 4: I mean, the genre is the most confusing part. Like,
Speaker 4: I don't even know. I don't know if this is scripted.
Speaker 4: I'm positive that is scripted, but like it's not super
Speaker 4: clear immediately. I don't know if it's a musical. I
Speaker 4: don't know if it's feature length. I literally don't know anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Alex, what you you you're smarter than most
Speaker 3: people would. What is this about?
Speaker 1: It's it's she has like a double heart shaped cut
Speaker 1: out in a wedding dress.
Speaker 3: Great, that was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: I was sort of looking for the nuclear factory or
Speaker 1: whatever after reading that. I don't know if I totally
Speaker 1: got that vibe from the trailer. Maybe it's kind of
Speaker 1: a the city is a character kind of thing, like
Speaker 1: it's just in the background.
Speaker 4: Of the film.
Speaker 1: I don't I really don't understand that that big title
Speaker 1: of from the dreams of Jennifer Lopez. I feel like
Speaker 1: somebody at least kind of knows this is out of control.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that's it, and maybe maybe Jlo stops smoking
Speaker 3: weed and her dreams got so wild. She's like, y'all,
Speaker 3: I figured out my lemonade. So everybody says I'm a
Speaker 3: sex addict. But then I'm getting married to three different dudes,
Speaker 3: because you know how I like to get married, And
Speaker 3: then I'm playing. I'm dancing on a basketball court, but
Speaker 3: then I have a has matched suit on in a
Speaker 3: steampunk industrial complex where I'm also performing with the other. Right,
Speaker 3: It's I don't know, but it's intriguing. I'm intrigued. I
Speaker 3: want to know more. And when you look at the
Speaker 3: people and they say like Starry Fat, Joe, Trevor Nor,
Speaker 3: Trevor Noah, Kim Petris Post Malone, Kiki Palmer, Sophia Vergara,
Speaker 3: Jennifer Lewis, j Shetty, Neil de Grasse, Tyson, Sad Duru
Speaker 3: from the Dude from YouTube doing all the Spiritual shit,
Speaker 3: Derek Derek Huff, and Ben Affleck. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: you lost me again. I'm I'm not sure because there's
Speaker 3: like also these moments where she it looks like she's
Speaker 3: like on somehow, like ripping the fabric of space time.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Sure, it gives like really big Disney Channel original
Speaker 4: movie with the with the budget like a high school
Speaker 4: musical production. Big budget though meets Interstellar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the visual effects are like they don't look
Speaker 3: cheap at all, like they like, they don't look janky
Speaker 3: like it would be one thing. I was like, this
Speaker 3: looks jank and like the I'm like, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of money in this, and I think I think Lacey
Speaker 3: Moseley was she was She was saying something on Twitter
Speaker 3: about it. How they're like, look, she just went in
Speaker 3: there and said like all this wild shit and they
Speaker 3: just bought it in the room like they didn't give
Speaker 3: a fuck. They're like, yep, we're all in on this.
Speaker 3: We love it so much, Jaylo, we love it. Jennifer
Speaker 3: greenlit how much money do you need? Okay, forty million dollars.
Speaker 4: That's the life I want to have to I admire that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I have to say, this does seem like some shit
Speaker 4: that I would do. It was just very zany off
Speaker 4: the wall. I'm gonna sing it, I'm gonna dance and
Speaker 4: it's gonna be my thing in my life story. I
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get yeah, It's totally like That's what throws
Speaker 3: me off is like there's some really dark visuals along
Speaker 3: with stuff that is like so pop, like not even
Speaker 3: like pop music, like popular culture like rom com like
Speaker 3: Sleepless and Seattle type stuff. Yeah. But then, like you said,
Speaker 3: we go to her Stellar and I'm like, I whatever,
Speaker 3: I'm probably watch it. Yeah, I don't know what it is,
Speaker 3: but I have no idea. I love it.
Speaker 4: I think, I think yea.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is the is the problem here that Jennifer Lopez is
Speaker 1: too talented? Like that opens up so many revenues for
Speaker 1: what this can be, Like like she can dance and
Speaker 1: sing and do fashion and do like five genres of movie,
Speaker 1: so we don't know what this is.
Speaker 4: Sing, I don't know if she can't she.
Speaker 3: Does, she does.
Speaker 4: She definitely can dance. Oh yeah, right, she can dances.
Speaker 4: She does sing, so.
Speaker 3: She could put a outfit together. But visual artist like that,
Speaker 3: That's where I'm a little bit like, I'm I don't
Speaker 3: I did not know. Let's let's see, Like I'm not
Speaker 3: trying to be disrespectful. I'm just trying to say oh,
Speaker 3: I did not know that about you, j Lo. That's
Speaker 3: you're a visionary because I just need to be a
Speaker 3: very talented performer. But I did not know this is art?
Speaker 3: Do we think? And I know you recoiled a bit.
Speaker 3: Is she trying to get in the lane of some
Speaker 3: of these other artists like Beyonce, who are like you
Speaker 3: thought it was just singing and dancing. I'm fucking you thought.
Speaker 3: I'm seeing art in five dimensions. That's why I'm ripping
Speaker 3: the fabric of space time talking to Neil de gross.
Speaker 4: Come along for the ride. I don't think she's trying
Speaker 4: to do that. It get it kind of seems like
Speaker 4: she's in on the joke, or they're in on the joke.
Speaker 4: Based on the from the Dreams of Jennifer Lopez. That
Speaker 4: kind of makes you feel like you're in on the joke.
Speaker 4: There was no joke when it came to Lemonade. We
Speaker 4: was not giggling.
Speaker 3: That was serious, right, right, right, But that's what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 3: what could you like do you think this could even
Speaker 3: have like a bit of like winking at the audience like,
Speaker 3: I know this is kind of fun. I do you
Speaker 3: really do?
Speaker 4: I hope I really do think that.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, what if it is and what if that's
Speaker 3: like what you think is it?
Speaker 4: If it's executed well enough, I think she could pull it.
Speaker 4: I think she could pull it off and executed well enough.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, thank Yeah, Well we'll have to have some
Speaker 3: art critics on really examine this, yeah, further, because I.
Speaker 4: Love a good musical now singing and dancing and a
Speaker 4: number I'm in. So I'm already wanting you to win.
Speaker 4: J Lo, please come.
Speaker 3: Through for me. She's I mean, how old is j Loo?
Speaker 3: She's again?
Speaker 4: I think she's like fifty Lopez?
Speaker 3: Come on, now, what are we talking here? At fifty four?
Speaker 3: Let him know, Jennifer, let him know.
Speaker 4: Halfway to sixty eating the girls?
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, Jennifer, Man, I'm just talking. Is it
Speaker 3: the I mean, it's it's genetics and obscene wealth that
Speaker 3: I think puts you like in a time machine like that.
Speaker 3: We're like, don't I don't know? Stress? I mean, I
Speaker 3: haven't had a driver look me in my eye since
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: So from that aspect, I think that was someone was
Speaker 3: saying that, right, was Jennifer, Like someone was driving Jennifer
Speaker 3: Lopez around and like they couldn't look her in the
Speaker 3: eye kind of thing, Like that was for real?
Speaker 4: Like why do so many celebrities have the note that
Speaker 4: people can't look them in the eye? What's going on?
Speaker 3: Are they or is that like an urban legend.
Speaker 4: I've heard the story from about a number of.
Speaker 3: People now about not looking in the eye. Know about
Speaker 3: celebrities don't want to be looked in the eye. Remember
Speaker 3: when Ellen didn't want to be looked in the eye.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And there's one.
Speaker 4: Other one that was notable that's like don't look at me, right?
Speaker 3: Why Alex do you think they're looking in the eye?
Speaker 3: Could be like our confirmation biased with Trump syphilis. We're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I believe that I don't want to look in the eye,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Thinking they're too good for
Speaker 3: eye contact? Or is there a real thing to be like?
Speaker 3: I don't know, they just don't with eye contact from workers.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's an evolution of celebrities simply wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 1: Now they're like sunglasses are for plebeians. I tell people
Speaker 1: to not observe that, right, Wow, I don't have to
Speaker 1: wear sunglass.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to cover them you're just gonna not
Speaker 4: right then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm high as fuck. Do not look at me
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 4: I can believe that. It's really like, I got some
Speaker 4: stuff going on. Don't look over here.
Speaker 3: I get like, but yeah, but it's such a flex
Speaker 3: where you're like, I don't need some is those motherfuckers
Speaker 3: just shouldn't look in my direction about that?
Speaker 1: Just my face?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, because I'm mean, y'all are not all right?
Speaker 3: Well yeah, zigang, let us know what do you think
Speaker 3: this is going to be a comedy do you think?
Speaker 3: Or not comedy, but do you think it's going to
Speaker 3: be somewhat tongue in cheek? Is this her pushing her
Speaker 3: boat out to be just a complete, like you know,
Speaker 3: visionary and doing a whole new lane. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Is it a Gucci ad? That's the other part. I
Speaker 3: know Gucci had to have funded some dimension of this part.
Speaker 3: They just can't. I just cannot believe that. There's I
Speaker 3: was hit with so much Gucci iconography and they don't
Speaker 3: have something to this ship.
Speaker 1: So it would it would be fantastic if this turned
Speaker 1: out to somehow be like thirty seconds long. Even though
Speaker 1: the trailers like like that it's truly just a commercial.
Speaker 3: That's it. Trailer was right?
Speaker 4: Does this come out on April first? One? Is the
Speaker 4: what is the date?
Speaker 3: No? Right? And I think it comes out in Februar. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean but who knows. Yeah, but she pushes it back.
Speaker 3: She's like, actually have to push the release back to
Speaker 3: March March thirty second, right, are there thirty one days
Speaker 3: in March? Yeah, that's right? Yeah, yeah, okay, see yeah,
Speaker 3: I knew that. See that joke. Landers. All right, let's
Speaker 3: move on to something a little more confounding, aggravating, but
Speaker 3: also so predictable. So right now, I feel like a
Speaker 3: lot of you conservatives they're loving to do this thing
Speaker 3: right now, is to pretend that America has no history
Speaker 3: of racism or is currently having a contentious battle with
Speaker 3: the history of racism of the United States. We have
Speaker 3: people like Vivic Ramaswami Nikki Haley going around saying things
Speaker 3: like America was never racist except a couple of years
Speaker 3: ago when they were very racist to me as being
Speaker 3: the only Sikh Indian family in this town in South Carolina.
Speaker 3: But after that, there has been no racism aside from
Speaker 3: chattle slavery and other things. Like that or manifest Destiny
Speaker 3: and there was no racism during the trailer Tiers and
Speaker 3: things like that, and then the genist of Indigenous people
Speaker 3: and taking them land, and aside from that, I don't
Speaker 3: understand why people are bashing our history. Just makes no sense.
Speaker 3: And then people like Charlie Kirk are trying to take
Speaker 3: down like the contributions to people like Martin Luther King,
Speaker 3: just like the latest conservative tactic, which is again to
Speaker 3: be like racism was never a thing in order to
Speaker 3: cause I think the long game here is, like from
Speaker 3: what I'm seeing, is that to attack the Civil Rights
Speaker 3: Act and then say, if there was no racism to
Speaker 3: begin with, there was actually no need to have all
Speaker 3: these weird protections for marginalized people in the Civil Rights Act.
Speaker 3: And I think we need to rethink that because we
Speaker 3: were never and now look what it's doing. It's just
Speaker 3: causing all these problems. You see what I'm saying. But
Speaker 3: Michael Knowles is a contributor over at the Daily Wire,
Speaker 3: and he is mostly known for his violent homophobia, but
Speaker 3: this week he decided to talk about another thing he
Speaker 3: knows absolutely nothing about, which is race, and he's saying
Speaker 3: he can now prove through so social science one of
Speaker 3: the most beloved tropes of racist politicians, which is I
Speaker 3: don't see race. I just I'm unable to see race
Speaker 3: at all. The way he gets into the story is
Speaker 3: because the new coach of the New England Patriots is
Speaker 3: a black man, and he was talking about He's like,
Speaker 3: I absolutely do see race, because it affects people very deeply.
Speaker 3: So I do. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit
Speaker 3: up here and say I don't see race like I
Speaker 3: absolutely do. But for the reasons I'm saying it's to
Speaker 3: not discount people's experiences as being on the margins of
Speaker 3: society or being part of a minority group. So that's
Speaker 3: sort of his inroad into sort of this next really
Speaker 3: wild quote you're about to hear from him, where he
Speaker 3: breaks down. He's like, I just don't understand like white
Speaker 3: like white people just truly don't see race. I don't
Speaker 3: think y'all get it. But here he is in his
Speaker 3: own words.
Speaker 6: White people are the only people who do not see color.
Speaker 6: Inasmuch as that phrase means anything of well, I don't
Speaker 6: see color. The only people for whom that is true
Speaker 6: is white people.
Speaker 1: What the only people.
Speaker 6: For whom that has been true ever in the whole
Speaker 6: history of the world is white people. This is very
Speaker 6: clear from modern social science when you ask people their
Speaker 6: racial consciousness. When you ask people, hey, is race? Is
Speaker 6: your race somewhat or very important to you? Every racial
Speaker 6: group other than white people is above fifty percent, Asians, Hispanics,
Speaker 6: For black people, it's above seventy percent. What's the number
Speaker 6: for white people? Fifteen? White people have zero racial consciousness?
Speaker 6: Fifteen percent? I guess they don't. They really don't see color.
Speaker 6: Everyone else does and everyone else has for all of history,
Speaker 6: which is how we've ended up in a situation today
Speaker 6: where white people are the only group that you can
Speaker 6: discriminate against by law and according to the more of society.
Speaker 1: Woo woo, Michael Knowles, Alex, do you have anything to say, James, Like,
Speaker 1: even even if if any of it was true, it
Speaker 1: didn't make sense on its own. Thing Like he said,
Speaker 1: it was zero white people, but also fifteen percent white
Speaker 1: people at this something right? And how would either of those?
Speaker 1: I I just can't stand it when people invoca phrase
Speaker 1: like the whole history of the world and then don't
Speaker 1: cite anything.
Speaker 3: Well, this is the wild right because to start, he
Speaker 3: is he's citing this Pew research study that came out
Speaker 3: during Black History Month, I think like two years ago,
Speaker 3: and it was talking about the importance of like racial
Speaker 3: identity and how how important it is for like especially
Speaker 3: black people, Black Americans feeling a connection to a larger group,
Speaker 3: like a larger culture that that is that connection is
Speaker 3: vis a vis race, and like they're the culture of blackness.
Speaker 3: And then they then they go down to compare that
Speaker 3: with like Hispanics, with Asians, et cetera. And it was
Speaker 3: about there again their feelings of connection to their larger
Speaker 3: community and consider like he's completely leaving out the part
Speaker 3: that this is about people that are living in America, okay,
Speaker 3: because this is a majority white country with many people
Speaker 3: coming here, whether through coercion, economic or straight up just
Speaker 3: being like go get your ass over here, get on
Speaker 3: this boat. Like that's that's that's that's a very specific
Speaker 3: dimension to sort of look at rather than like being
Speaker 3: like all these people are like they're they're like their
Speaker 3: whole thing, Like race matters so much to these people,
Speaker 3: Like they can tell your race. Like that's how he's
Speaker 3: trying to make it look like and say, like for
Speaker 3: white people. That's just not a thing.
Speaker 4: And you're what's blowing me is he's saying race matters.
Speaker 4: The study was determining if your own race matters to you,
Speaker 4: not other people's race fucking matters. Make it make sense?
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? You're not even talking about things.
Speaker 4: And if this proves nothing, this proves that white people
Speaker 4: see themselves as raceless, right, not that they don't see
Speaker 4: other people's race. And the reason that they see themselves
Speaker 4: as racist because they are the dominant race, so they
Speaker 4: don't have to be othered. They are not othered. And
Speaker 4: never mind, that's it.
Speaker 3: That's but truly to your point, Michael, it's called hegemony. Okay.
Speaker 3: People's whiteness typically is not has not mattered because it
Speaker 3: isn't an obstacle for them to live happy. That's the
Speaker 3: fuck why. It's not because white people are like the
Speaker 3: people the respondents in this survey are, like, I don't
Speaker 3: see a race. It's just a different a completely different experience.
Speaker 3: And like when you completely leave out the part of
Speaker 3: like what the experience is for people who are not
Speaker 3: white cis head Christian people in this country, a lot
Speaker 3: of these other things matter a lot because they've typically
Speaker 3: been presented to you as a reason for you to
Speaker 3: not get a raise or to not get an opportunity,
Speaker 3: or the reason why people don't want to sit with
Speaker 3: you or be friends with you and shit like that.
Speaker 3: So it's a very very like wild to just like
Speaker 3: look at that and just in such bad faith, Like
Speaker 3: you see what I'm talking about. Fifteen percent don't even
Speaker 3: see race.
Speaker 4: It's like he's illiterate, Like words don't mean things to him,
Speaker 4: Like he read those words and decided that they didn't
Speaker 4: mean what the word means, right, they mean something else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like you know again, this is like
Speaker 3: why this like information landscape is so bad right now
Speaker 3: is that you have people, because there are people there
Speaker 3: are gonna be white people who listen to this who
Speaker 3: are like probably beginning to have some kind of feeling
Speaker 3: of like interrogating or inspecting or having some introspection about
Speaker 3: like race, and it's like like it doesn't matter, like
Speaker 3: it is it bad that I'm white? Am I bad
Speaker 3: for being white?
Speaker 4: Or something?
Speaker 3: And you have people who just want to like dead
Speaker 3: any kind of real thought there and just be like no, no, no,
Speaker 3: stop stop stop stop stop. They're trying to make you
Speaker 3: feel bad because you're white and the DEI stuff that's
Speaker 3: gonna make planes crash. Just please stop thinking it's a
Speaker 3: thing to consider. These people are just haters, right, and
Speaker 3: you just need to get past that, because guess what
Speaker 3: we don't see. We're actually like here's a study to
Speaker 3: help you stay in your place of no growth. Is
Speaker 3: we're actually like one of the like the only people
Speaker 3: on earth were it doesn't matter. And I think, and
Speaker 3: that's what bothers people is that we honestly we're just
Speaker 3: not even capable of having race matter. And that's what Yeah,
Speaker 3: slippery slop, slippery slope.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am. I'm so curious about this guy's like
Speaker 1: coworkers as his right wing billionaire funded content, Like do
Speaker 1: they think he's just doing kind of what the rest
Speaker 1: of them do for work or is he really going
Speaker 1: even beyond what they say when they when they log
Speaker 1: into the office.
Speaker 3: I mean, this feels this feels like part and parcel
Speaker 3: of what you hear in conservative media in general, which
Speaker 3: is to always dismiss the idea of racism, because if
Speaker 3: racism doesn't exist, then we never have to take people
Speaker 3: seriously when they say racism is an issue soul because
Speaker 3: if you begin to entertain someone's criticism or someone's observation
Speaker 3: analysis about a society, then you would have to begin
Speaker 3: to engage with that. But they don't even want to
Speaker 3: begin to engage with that because they saw what happened
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. Some people are like, oh, man, like
Speaker 3: should I read a book or something? They're like, I
Speaker 3: don't read in the book. They're fucking tripping. Okay, they're tripping.
Speaker 3: That's it. And it sounds like the kind of shit
Speaker 3: that like people when they have like bad friends who like,
Speaker 3: you know, for example, like if you drinking or doing
Speaker 3: a lot of drugs and you're like, yo, I'm actually
Speaker 3: thinking about like doing lessons, Like oh really, oh so
Speaker 3: you better than us?
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 3: I don't do that, bro. The people that are telling
Speaker 3: you got a problem, they're haters, Bro. They're haters, and
Speaker 3: they want to keep you at the same level. They
Speaker 3: don't want people going whatever outside of that way of thinking.
Speaker 3: So it's always good for them to just be like
Speaker 3: neutralize any kind of critical thought with this. Yeah, thought killer.
Speaker 3: Here's a thought killer. We're incapable of it, and racism
Speaker 3: doesn't exist. I don't know why people keep saying this, y'all.
Speaker 4: This is so wild to me that don't you know,
Speaker 4: social science disproves that, don't you know social.
Speaker 3: Science, right, And then they can go and say that
Speaker 3: at you know, the next like local gathering of people,
Speaker 3: and they'd be like, well, I believe it's actually we're incapable,
Speaker 3: and someone's gonna people are gonna be parroting this ship
Speaker 3: straight back to someone who's trying to actually make a point.
Speaker 4: But yeah, and then I'll make it to the R
Speaker 4: and C stage, and then it'll become more mainstream and then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is wild because with Nikki Haley
Speaker 3: being like, oh, you know, like racism doesn't exist or whatever,
Speaker 3: I guess Donald Trump has started calling her by her
Speaker 3: given name, Nimroda, to begin to turn up the heat
Speaker 3: on her, to be like, just so youll no, she's
Speaker 3: not white, she is she is Indian. Yeah, you're like people,
Speaker 3: it's just see nicky, watch your motherfucking out, watch them out,
Speaker 3: look at don't don't get cozy with them. Don't be
Speaker 3: so yeah, because I understand the feeling that to be
Speaker 3: in the N group might feel like it's safe, but
Speaker 3: the second you are a fucking obstacle or they just
Speaker 3: need you're too much for them. They're gonna fucking throw
Speaker 3: your ass out, just like I was talking about Vivid
Speaker 3: Ramaswami on the Babylon b which is like the conservative
Speaker 3: shitty version of the Onion. They're already making jokes that
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, he's gonna be working the White House
Speaker 3: seven to eleven, that's gonna be his job in the administration.
Speaker 3: And you're like, look at how they they're already doing you.
Speaker 4: Bro like and they don't see though, so what is
Speaker 4: that based on?
Speaker 3: That's based on the Simpsons. That's what I thought, Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is I have a Simpsons I have a Simpsons
Speaker 3: based at philosophy. I mean, you know, a joke is.
Speaker 1: Good if the Simpsons did it and was not even
Speaker 1: the first to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, truly. Yeah, so Michael Knowles, you're trying it.
Speaker 3: But again, I think this is important to see, like this,
Speaker 3: this is the kind of mental conditioning inoculation that they're
Speaker 3: doing on the conservative side, because again, I'm honestly, there's
Speaker 3: so much talk about being like the Civil Rights Act. Man,
Speaker 3: if we can just get that out of the way,
Speaker 3: and you're like, holy shit, like don't yet.
Speaker 4: You're scaring me. I literally did not know that this
Speaker 4: was going on.
Speaker 3: I'm terrified people are. I hear this more and more
Speaker 3: and more, like when I'm reading conservative shit or like
Speaker 3: looking at their little fucking video podcasts and ship there's
Speaker 3: like this real like that's why Charlie Kirk spent so
Speaker 3: much time with the help of this black man to
Speaker 3: be like, h here a black man, can you tell
Speaker 3: everybody why MLK was actually bad? And like just you know,
Speaker 3: drag his name through the dirt and you know, that
Speaker 3: way we can just prove this point that everything that
Speaker 3: he was trying to do was actually bad. Therefore the
Speaker 3: civil rights struggle was just for not like it was
Speaker 3: just all a waste of time. It's dangerous. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I give that two yikes. All right, let's take another
Speaker 3: break and we'll come back to talk about Blue Monday.
Speaker 3: And I wish we were talking about the New Order song,
Speaker 3: but we're not. But we'll be back after this. And
Speaker 3: we're back. And after I made that New Order joke
Speaker 3: by about Blue Monday, I was like, what was that
Speaker 3: band like in the late nineties or odds that covered
Speaker 3: it and kind of brought the song back, and my
Speaker 3: younger esteemed. Guests were like, a, sir, are you talking
Speaker 3: about deep banking again? What's on your hands? And I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: it was this band. They brought the whole wave back.
Speaker 3: It was Orgy And shout out to my geriatric millennials
Speaker 3: and older who remember when Orgy brought the Blue Monday
Speaker 3: song or blue New Damn New Order song Blue Monday back.
Speaker 3: All that to say, we need to talk about Blue Monday,
Speaker 3: the capitalist hoax that continues to persist. I wasn't fully
Speaker 3: aware of this as a concept. Did you guys know
Speaker 3: about blue Monday at all? Alex? What about you?
Speaker 1: I've heard that phrase, but I think it's mostly because
Speaker 1: of Kurt Bonnegut's writing. He's referencing like an advertising concept
Speaker 1: for washing machines. Right, you can beat blue Monday by
Speaker 1: having easier laundry to do in like the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3: Ah well, again along that similar vein apparently, like this
Speaker 3: is something that's really big in like you're mostly the
Speaker 3: UK and in Canada as well, they've heard tell of
Speaker 3: blue Monday. But apparently it is the third Monday in
Speaker 3: January and it is known as quote the most depressing
Speaker 3: day of the year and I'm like, what does that
Speaker 3: exactly mean? Like, here's headlines from the Standard in the
Speaker 3: UK Blue Monday twenty twenty four. When is Blue Monday
Speaker 3: and how to beat it? Another headline, It's officially the
Speaker 3: most depressing day of the year. An expert offers some
Speaker 3: tips to lift the gloom on Blue Monday. Blue Monday
Speaker 3: is coming up? Are you prepared for the most depressing
Speaker 3: day of the year. So we had it, didn't realize
Speaker 3: it was the most I guess that Mlkday for us
Speaker 3: was Blue Monday.
Speaker 4: Yes, get him out of here.
Speaker 3: I know, because I'm surprised there wasn't like, oh coincidence
Speaker 3: much that Blue Monday is also Martin Luther King Day,
Speaker 3: the most depressing day for white people. Right, So they're saying,
Speaker 3: are you prepared? I'm like, okay, so what is going
Speaker 3: on now? Some of these outlets do admit that there
Speaker 3: is no actual scientific evidence to back up this premise,
Speaker 3: this concept of Blue Monday, but also not all of
Speaker 3: them call out the fact that Blue Monday is just
Speaker 3: a straight up scam. You're getting bamboozled. The culprit, perhaps
Speaker 3: is late stage capitalism. This pseudo scientific reasoning. Why behind
Speaker 3: why quote blue Monday is so depressing involves like this
Speaker 3: actual I mean actual. I only say that because there
Speaker 3: are like equations, Like it looks like a math equation,
Speaker 3: a legit looking mathematical equation which equates things like debt, motivation, weather,
Speaker 3: and the time that's elapsed since Christmas as a way
Speaker 3: to determine that, like to quantify that this is the
Speaker 3: most depressing day. But anyone, anyone who like looks at
Speaker 3: this for like one moment, you'll realize, like, how the
Speaker 3: fuck can you even compute this? Because there aren't even
Speaker 3: like shared units of measurement, Like how do you compare
Speaker 3: It's like saying, okay, a large pizza times a GDP
Speaker 3: of Brazil equals that Mickey Rooney is actually Billie Eilish's grandfather. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you're like metric sads or imperial sads. I can't figure, right,
Speaker 3: how do we measure the depress and whose unit are
Speaker 3: we using? And I guess the inventor of this equation
Speaker 3: was a guy named doctor Cliff Arnall who was hired
Speaker 3: by a fucking travel company Skytravel they're defunct now, back
Speaker 3: in two thousand and five to basically just contribute to
Speaker 3: a press release and they wanted to sell people on
Speaker 3: the idea that there is a most depressing day of
Speaker 3: the year, which would then inspire the consumer to consume
Speaker 3: and to book a vacation thanks to sky Travel bringing
Speaker 3: this all to light, and he kind of has like
Speaker 3: some credibility to back up these claims. He's like, yeah, well,
Speaker 3: you know, I was a Cardiff University psychologist. But then
Speaker 3: pretty quickly the Cardiff University was like, no, this dude
Speaker 3: was a quote former part time tutor, Like let's not
Speaker 3: get this like fucked up. Like he was not, that's
Speaker 3: not what he was doing. And he later tried to
Speaker 3: walk back this great cultural myth that he created by
Speaker 3: saying it was never his quote intention to make January
Speaker 3: even worse for people, and and he even admitted the
Speaker 3: idea of blue Monday was not particularly helpful. But guess
Speaker 3: what that fucking apology was part of another commercial campaign
Speaker 3: for a travel company, Virgin Atlantic. Please to keep fucking
Speaker 3: with this guy, they said they can't. Pain will encourage
Speaker 3: the nation to dispel their Blue Monday beliefs and instead
Speaker 3: embrace the new possibilities. Then another year can hold possibilities
Speaker 3: like traveling to Thailand or Vietnam or South America. It's
Speaker 3: just like one of those. Really, it's just super cynical
Speaker 3: when you're just like kind of like using this idea that, yeah,
Speaker 3: winter's hard for people coming out of the holidays, it's
Speaker 3: hard for people having resolutions and like trying to stick
Speaker 3: to those can lead to people being demotivated. But then
Speaker 3: to be like aamn, book your package holiday with us?
Speaker 3: Why check out mark Bella Spain. It's absolutely popping. And
Speaker 3: the time he also he supposedly cracked the formula for
Speaker 3: the happiest day of the year. He said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm doing that now. Because he pivoted to saying he
Speaker 3: was a freelance happiness guru, which sounds like me when
Speaker 3: I was just like dating a bunch of people in
Speaker 3: smoking weeds and my funnies. I'm like, yeah, I'm like
Speaker 3: a whoa, what do I do? I'm like a freelance.
Speaker 4: Happiness It's like a vibes curator.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly, But and for some reason I kind
Speaker 3: of respect a vibe'ess curator more than a freelance I
Speaker 3: think it's just the wording. Is this mora with our times?
Speaker 4: Yeah, guru's bad. Guru bad overall?
Speaker 3: We have too many gus, especially on social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, vibes curator, you can say you're a VC. That's
Speaker 1: kind of nice.
Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, yeah we should.
Speaker 3: Be see are you you a vibe curator? Do you
Speaker 3: do you?
Speaker 4: I like to think so absolutely, I definitely do curate vibes.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Like I think the same way if I'm having,
Speaker 3: you know, like a like a gathering, or somebody's like
Speaker 3: being like, oh, like I want to have like a dinner,
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, what do you like? What are you think?
Speaker 3: Like you don't have a spread? Is it going to
Speaker 3: be like a spread? You want to bounty for people?
Speaker 3: Do people bring in their own thing? Do you want
Speaker 3: to just have it so your guests are like blown
Speaker 3: away by your hospitality? Is it a group effort? I
Speaker 3: feel it could be me overthinking. Maybe that's a ViBe's.
Speaker 4: Curator a little bit, you know, a little type a,
Speaker 4: a little overthinking.
Speaker 3: But I never nobody I like that though. I also
Speaker 3: like the host like that, so I feel it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean I can. I for the record, I love
Speaker 3: a spread. Same when people put it spread out. There
Speaker 3: is nothing that blows me more away than somebody who's
Speaker 3: like you thought of all these other things just to
Speaker 3: put out here for this little gathering, Like these are
Speaker 3: fine meats. Maybe not cheeses, No cheeses for me, but
Speaker 3: yogurt flavored ice creams and popcorn. What's your sprays? It
Speaker 3: goes to me. Frozen yogurt and fro yo out there.
Speaker 4: Some cheese it some gold fish?
Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, we cheese it so oh yeah.
Speaker 4: I like cheeses, yes, but not cheese.
Speaker 3: Flavor blast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the flavor blasts.
Speaker 3: Goldfish flavor blast are the great. Yeah yeah, the more
Speaker 3: the better. Okay, all right, I'm just making sure, just
Speaker 3: making sure. Are you a vibe curator? Would you do
Speaker 3: you see yourself as a vibe curator? Alex?
Speaker 1: I think maybe. I don't know if I aspired to it.
Speaker 1: I think I try to participate, you know, but I'm
Speaker 1: not a big spread builder. I'm more of a spread
Speaker 1: supporter or like, oh, good job, keep it up.
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that. That's all, but that is good.
Speaker 3: You are contributing to the vibes in a positive way. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so vibe yeah yeah, yeah, vibes contributor. These are all contribute,
Speaker 3: consume or be a connoisseur or a curator. Either way,
Speaker 3: you do you do what you gotta do. But yeah,
Speaker 3: the reason why, like Blue Monday, it just like sticks around,
Speaker 3: like apparently all like in so much marketing, people are
Speaker 3: still using it as like a fucking being like hey man,
Speaker 3: like you want to buy a fucking big mac by
Speaker 3: get the fucking Vibe meal and shit, or a burger
Speaker 3: king that a Vibe meal anyway, But it seems like
Speaker 3: the com might be working because last year in the
Speaker 3: United Kingdom, online sales are reportedly shot up by eighteen
Speaker 3: percent on Blue Monday because of all this shit, like
Speaker 3: oh yeah, like like it's wild how you can get
Speaker 3: in people's minds, right like in America Black Friday, Cyber Monday,
Speaker 3: it's like you better buy some shit. Don't be fucking
Speaker 3: stupid fucking around Black Friday, fucking dumb man, Go fucking
Speaker 3: buy something you don't fucking need because that weird mobile
Speaker 3: phone charger costs like half off now, like I don't
Speaker 3: and and look at me, I bought one, but I
Speaker 3: use it sparingly, sparingly, but like I try to, I
Speaker 3: try to and then like so it's wild that like
Speaker 3: they're using this thing of like weaponizing people's own like
Speaker 3: mental health or like seasonal affected disorder or whatever, like
Speaker 3: just to be like, oh, yeah, it's gloomy, to be like,
Speaker 3: you know what will fucking help you to buy some ship? Man?
Speaker 4: That is so ugly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't appreciate being manipulated like that. This is so ugly.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, what are they gonna do, like deal
Speaker 3: with root causes of people's feelings of loneliness, support the
Speaker 3: pharmaceutical industry if we have to do, Yeah, exactly, Oh
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do? Pay real wages? No, no, it's
Speaker 3: blue Monday. Okay did you did you? Did you buy that? Whatever?
Speaker 3: The fuck? Did you buy that?
Speaker 4: Stanley Monk? Okay, right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Did you guys are Stanley oh Man?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Also just feels fake that it would be a Monday
Speaker 1: specifically is the saddest day, like what, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Tuesdays can be harder and it just I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's time.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you. I think Tuesday's Monday's, like
Speaker 3: I get it, like just because it's the first day back.
Speaker 3: But Tuesdays You're like, fuck, bro, it's only like you
Speaker 3: do this. He You're like, it's only fucking Tuesday. The
Speaker 3: other party Monday, you know, you're like, it's fucking Monday.

Speaker 3: or played at like zero point one five speed, which
Speaker 3: is why I feel like, well, all there's what the
