It's 0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:11.719 one nine am on the Forest Moon of End, or 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:37.240 if you're listening tonight call, Hello everybody, and welcome to 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.960 Nightcall podcast for Strange Days and lonely nights.

I had to train Molly phonetically to say 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:54.280 the Forest Moon of Endor. Yeah, no, killed it, killed 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.120 it on the first day. Thanks guys. It's always been 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.800 bad at maps. That's why you don't watch Game of Thrones. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.040 Why I don't want it like a fictional maps. They're 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.920 actually maddeningly few maps in the Star Wars universe. It 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.200 actually makes it really easy for them to bullshit and 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:15.800 add new places all the time. Tonight, Tonight, tonight, we're 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:17.960 going to talk about Well, first we'll talk about we 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.399 did last night. Yeah, we had a live show. Yeah, 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.080 it just me and Emily. Why my voice might be 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.840 feeling a little rough right now. We led the crowd 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.560 in Too Many Chance. Yes, yeah, it was great. We 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.880 had our second annual nights Giving party at gold Diggers. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.080 We've had a bunch of fun every time we've done 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.200 d day nights at gold Diggers if you are in 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.240 the area. I was just proud we got to two 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.000 of something that's a big deal, really great about it. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.640 But Emily couldn't make it last year, Tess couldn't make 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.680 it this year, So by the law of threes, I'll 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.320 have to you have to drop out some reason next year. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.680 But it was really fun. Our special guest was Amy Man. 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.600 She shared a ghost story with us, which was so good. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.280 And I mean, I think the thing that I like 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.000 about our events and not to like plug our next 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.200 event TVD, but that we tend to get like fun 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.519 people on. But I like that we don't say who 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.800 it is ahead of time. I mean, I mean that 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.200 because then it's just like it kind of feels like 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.400 a very special little fireside chat with whoever happens to. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.200 It's very intimate and we never prepare them particularly so 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.800 they feel very vulnerable and we don't record it, so 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.839 you have to be there, yeah for the happening. Yeah, 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.799 she told some great, great g story. We should have 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.720 her on the pod for real something. She was really funny. Yeah, 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.040 So thank you to Amy. Yeah, thank you Amy, and 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.760 thank you to everybody who came out and ate the 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:48.520 pumpkin pies and listen to me and Emily play music. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.600 Not to sound like too much of a mom, but 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.720 I think it's kind of lame that people didn't finish 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.640 the pies. And next time, I think people need to 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.799 try harder to eat us on the plate and finish 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.120 your pie. I was actually kind of shocked. I mean, 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.640 these were these are Traitor Joe's pumpkin pies, which are 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.560 notably really amazing, pretty good and like shelf Stable, do 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.280 you think that people are worried that we might like 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.560 dose them or something? Talked about that during I knew, yeah, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.600 well it doesn't help. But like whenever we have a pie, 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.840 Molly scratches a pentagram and to the top of it, 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:24.560 so it's like Christine pie. I want to credit that 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.880 idea to Amy Nicholson, who I went to a Halloween 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.200 party hosted by her and her boyfriend Adam where there 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.840 was a pentagram on a pizza drawn in Sri racha 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.600 nice and that was what I was like, Oh, you 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.480 can drop pagrams on anything, any round food any wouldn't 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:46.280 that not taste great? To put saracha gay It's spicy 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.440 and has garlic in it. It's not. I don't think 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.400 it pairs. I like hot sauce on a pizza, I 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.280 like a different kind of hot sauce on a pizza. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.480 I think that just doesn't. I don't think it goes. 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.280 But that's okay. I'd still eat it anyway, because I 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.080 do my job and eat my food. The food that's 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:08.240 presented to you. What you get, you don't get upset. Um. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.520 So I don't have you guys watched The Mandalorian yet, know, 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.120 but we have to talk about But we have to 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:20.080 talk about Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda has taken this nation 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.880 by storm, and I am happy to be caught up 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.960 in it. I was saying that, like, what I love 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.600 about this is like the Marvel versus you know, Scorsese film, 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.599 Nerd discourse had reached this fever pitch and then it 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.440 was like Verner Hertzog came in with the Lake postmodernist 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.160 like sweet Baby Yoda. Yeah. I mean, if the show 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.320 was actually just Verner Hertzog and Baby Yoda, it would 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:53.000 be I think, unanimously critically adored. It's actually not that 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.680 great of a show so far, there are only two 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.719 episodes out, but I think that the degree to which 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.040 it's like really leaned into feat your stuff and cute 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:06.279 Baby Yoda. Also, just between this, I was, I tweeted this, 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.880 but like between this and Detective Pikachu this year, cute 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.719 tech like c g I. Cute Tech has gotten so 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.360 good that I don't know where we go from here, Like, 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.560 how do you make a thing that's cuter than them? Well? 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.080 I thought it was funny because it's like, I obviously 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.480 don't care about Star Wars lore, but just the idea 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.599 that everybody was like criticizing Disney for being the Borg 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.000 and then it was like, look, it's Yoda, but we 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.560 made it small and everybody was like, ah, oh, look 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.159 at it. It's small. It's just wild to me that, 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.840 like it's their first ever Star Wars TV series, like 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:45.480 counting the Christmas Special, that's not a series. I mean, well, well, 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.599 the series does actually make the Christmas Special cannon because 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.440 they mentioned Life Day in the first episode, which is 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.279 the holiday that the Cookies are celebrating in the Christmas 0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:00.840 special um where they have a hologram of difference star ship. Wow, 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.880 that sounds like something I enjoy. What's this? You guys 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.000 haven't watched the Star Wars Christmas specials like famous among 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.400 Star Wars nerds for being a thing they like pretended 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.560 didn't happen because it's just the seventies variety show. It's 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:20.960 not good Arthur in it. It is, yes, it is. No. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.080 This is what happens to every single person who hears 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.800 about the Star Wars Christmas special. They're like Jefferson Starship 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.559 like a story that's just Wookie is like b Arthur 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.880 shows up. Uh, sounds great, sounds so fun and silly 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.240 and like a very like great seventies time capsule. It 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.359 is mostly unwatchable. Like it is, it is maddening to watch. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.839 But have you seen Star Wars? Well, that brings me 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.360 to my favorite Star Wars movie, which I found out 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.720 are not on Disney Plus yet. Emily and I were 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.200 talking about wanting to do an episode about it, but 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.560 I don't think we can until Disney Plus makes them available. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.400 The Ewalk Adventure, yeah, man, I haven't seen it in 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.440 so long. Freaked me out so much as it freaked 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.800 me out so much as a kid, and therefore it 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.280 was the best. Um Well, I feel like Mandalorian is 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:12.720 a encouraging sign that Disney is willing to embrace the dorky, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.520 kind of weird side of Star Wars. It's like you 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.800 Walk Adventures TV movies. Yes they're TV, or no, they're 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.920 straight to video. That's what they were. They're straight to video. 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.880 But yeah, like the fact that I mean, the Mandalorian 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.200 is basically so far just lone Wolf and Cub but 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.880 with baby Yoda like lone Wolf and Baby Yoda. Um 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.080 does Baby Yoda talk like Yoda? Or is it too 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.400 too baby baby doing? All it does is go, It 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:42.360 makes actual baby noises, it has like human baby noises. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.960 And then it's like spoilers. It uses the force in 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.000 the last episode and it puts out its little hand. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:53.000 And the thing about like Yoda is so much cuter 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.520 than ET. Yes, you know if ET looked like Yoda, 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.080 I wouldn't have such a problem with each would with 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.320 e T like flesh colored, it looks like a ball sack. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.880 You know what, I'm gonna stand up for ET here 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.240 and just say that on different planets we shouldn't project 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:15.280 our beauty standards onto extraterrestrials. It's unfair. Also, there's do 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.800 you think that e T on his home planet if 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.360 there's just different barometric pressure on it and maybe he's 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:25.360 not wrinkly on his planet, like he becomes more like full, 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:30.240 he's got for his collagen is restored. What would he 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.680 look what would a kind of well hydrated et because 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.040 he was he was sick. That's the other thing is 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.640 he was very sick on Earth, you know, very sick. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.640 So I don't think so tried out dehydrate. I mean, 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.040 like whatever was water on his planet he was. You 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.440 know what if it's the same species is Yoda, because 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.599 we don't know what Yoda is. We were just saying, yeah, 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.320 nobody knows what Yoda is. Yoda is Yoda's species according 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.560 to Wikipedia. I don't think Yoda as an adult is 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.760 very attractive, but I do. I mean, obviously I love 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.840 baby Yoda, but I wouldn't say, like, you know, Yoda 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.199 is not winning any beauty pageants either. It's also confusing 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.000 to me because I feel like they tried to market 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.200 the porks is like the cute return to cute Star 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.640 Wars creatures, and like it didn't catch on in the 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.520 same way. All they had to do was make it 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.640 a character that already exists in the universe, and everybody's like, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.520 it's baby Yoda, but his baby I've seen some pork backpacks. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.040 I think porks have found their way into I think 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.360 the problem is that they're called porks porties of the 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.600 new walks. People. People who love porks love them the most. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.760 At some point, I'm gonna be on this podcast talking 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.960 about Return of the Jedi and and and vehemently defending 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.360 the e walks. So, um, yeah, we're very pro e 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.000 walk on this PODCT. Yeah. I mean, I'm I consider 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.040 myself a serious Star Wars fan or whatever, but like 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.720 that includes e walks. That's not like oh, but except 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.040 the e walks. Like no, that is why Star Wars 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.880 is good, because there's a planet full of teddy bears. 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.079 That is why Disney Plus Night All commands you. We 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.240 compel you, compel you, The power compels you, compels you 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.040 to put the Ewok Adventure movie on Disney Plus for 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.240 old millennials, for whom that is the touchstone of Star Wars. 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.600 Just bring back more like non market tested children's fair 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.840 that makes makes kids cry. Have you seen it, Tess Ever, 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.040 I've I've always been really uninterested in Star Wars, and 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.000 I've kept it a secret except on podcasts that we 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:30.839 do were every so often I tell you, guys, but 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.520 then you refuse to let it sink. As a person 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.080 who doesn't like Star Wars, I feel like it's like 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:39.640 if you like other eighties dark fantasy, puppet heavy movies. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.199 Well you know, I don't actually like love puppet heavy 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.559 movies in general, but I do make some exceptions, which 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.000 is why we're going to force you to watch Labyrinth. Yes, 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:56.240 Labyrinth Puppet Puppet, December Puppet December Fantasy puppet Eighties, like 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.400 pre c g I I've like dabbled in some star 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.840 I know that my time is coming for a full 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.680 deep dive into Star Wars because my kids are older 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.560 now and are more kind of like into that book. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.320 I want to go to the Star Wars land. Emily 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.839 and I went to the Star Wars bar in Hollywood, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:17.600 so jealous of this. It was the greatest Hollywood experience 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.640 because we were the only people in it and our 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.320 bartender was Harley Quinn. It's a very jumbled It's like, 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.160 you know, in the exterior it is a Star Wars bar, 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.040 it's called scumm and Villany Cantina, But inside and on 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.720 the menu it is just like a jumbled It's like 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.000 a comic compar it's the job of the French. But 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.640 then there's like a drink called Karis, Like it's like 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:43.920 if thrown stuff. They've got marvel stec. It's just a 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.880 fandom theme. But it was like but we were the 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.480 only people, and which made it really interesting. And Harley 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:52.560 Quinn was like, what do you want, honey. I wish 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.760 she would have done it an impression. I don't remember 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.240 wearing like a full on great Harley. It was impressive. 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.400 I hope she gets really good tips too. Um. But 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.560 it was also great because it felt like what you 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.839 imagine the Star Wars Cantina would really be like. Because 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:08.559 people were like, is that the one in Disneyland and 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.839 I was like, no, no, it's the one on Hollywood Boulevard. 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.920 So it is like a meeting point between the worlds. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:19.439 It feels like it's like tourists and weird nerds like us. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:21.960 We're going to take a break real quick and we'll 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:42.040 be back in just a moment. Welcome back tonight. Call guys. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.000 Did you see the rollout of the cybertruck? Oh? It 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.040 was so funny. I had to piece it together because 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.240 I just saw everybody tweeting pictures of it and I 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.040 was like, what was this a movie? Like, what's what 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.800 is this? The movie is robocon Yeah, no serious. The car, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.960 it is a car that Elon Musk and Tesla unveil 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.439 old at the It's like a pickup truck. It's supposedly 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.720 a pickup truck, but it looks like if RoboCop was 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.160 a car. Yes, yeah, Tess, would you like to give 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.880 us the cliff notes? Yes? So the Guardian this is 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.240 from the Guardian. Um they quote Musk is saying we 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.800 created an exo skeleton. He said, to rapturous whoops from 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:23.000 those attending the l A line. It is literally bulletproof 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:27.720 to a nine millimeter handgun. France von Holshausen, Tesla's chief designer, 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.720 asked Musk if he could lob a metal ball at 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.240 the window of the vehicle. Really, said Musk. The window smashed. 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.920 Oh my fucking god, said Musk. Maybe that was a 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.600 little hard, showing confidence in the vehicle. Von Holtthhausen then 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.160 suggested he should love it at a second window. Try 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.160 that one, really, asked Musk, moments before the rear window 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.920 was also smashed. It didn't go through, though, that's the 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:53.960 plus side. A stunned Musk said, guys, yike, guys, yikes. Um. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.640 My favorite reaction to this was from Max Read. And 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.440 this is also before I knew it was going on. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.920 So I just saw the picture of this. It looks 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.960 like a low rez computer generated car because it's just 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.960 it's like a polygon um and it has the two 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.320 like smashed windows in it. And he said, not for nothing, 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.000 but the smashed windows actually complete the whole driving my 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.040 luxury armored command unit through the violent slumps to Elysium 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:24.760 transfer station for my off world vacation. Yum, yeah, that's 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.840 the vibe. That's the vibe. What's really weird is to 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.240 present this car and like seemingly Musk if he didn't 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.560 plan to have that happen, It's like, what did he 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.640 plan to demonstrate? So it just seems like such a 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.960 stupid error, you know. I mean, it's also stupid to 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.320 strow a bunch of car. Thing is so dumb. The 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:51.120 font that they put Cybertruck in was like just the 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.600 funniest bad funt. The whole thing was like self parodic 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.000 to the extreme. And then on Jack Am Today Kate 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.920 and Kate was saying that it was all like Magic's 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.840 Biggest Secrets revealed Yes it was the fib She made 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.160 a video where she cut it together with magic space, 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.760 like she's like the masked magician, right, it's like Piro 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.560 And like even the fans and the audience were like, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:21.400 huh yeah, I mean I really I like electric cars. 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.800 It's Tesla is just so it's hard, guys. It sucks. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.440 It sucks, I have whatever. I've made this argument many 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.840 many times. I like, I'm not as mad at a 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.040 Tesla on the road as I am at any other 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:38.440 luxury car. And I'm not against electric car being like 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.120 a status symbol for people who have money. Like sure, 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.240 Like status symbols are gross. It's part of the culture 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.600 that we live in. But if it's for an electric car, okay, fine, 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:49.760 Like here's what I'm going to say, those people are 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.400 the worst drivers. Well, that is also true is that 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.880 they have replaced the other luxury car drivers as the 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.920 worst drivers. Tesla drivers do tend to be bad drivers, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.400 but there are also so many of them that it's 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.840 hard to even say. But it comes with like this 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.640 narcissistic self confidence that's possible you rule the road. I 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.800 like the idea of a leaf Nissan sponsor night cough 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.520 Nissan sponsor. I have a hybrid that I really like, 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.280 but it's ten years old and it's starting to be creaky. 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.680 And Nissan give us the electric vehicles. Yeah, yeah, we're 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.960 pro electric vehicle, but also like it shouldn't be for 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.560 rich people. Wasn't that the whole thing that it was 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.600 going to be like a cheap model of the Tesla 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.360 eventually and then it didn't really ever happen. It's cheaper. 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.280 I mean there's different tiers, but none of them are affordable. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:38.040 But also for the no no, the Tesla UM yeah, 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.080 I mean there are other electric cars. It's just like, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.280 do you need that name brand to be your thing? 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.640 I don't know. I was looking at this because I 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.760 I don't know anything about stocks, but I was like 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.360 looking at the whole Tesla or the Tesla. What's it 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.520 called cyber cyber truck. Cyber truck cyber the tongue doesn't 0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:00.720 it on? Um Grimes came up with that name. But 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:02.840 I was like, that feels like the kind of thing 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.159 that you could watch in real time, like watch stock, 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:10.040 just like it like bumps down and then the second 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.920 baseball is loved at a rock or whatever, and I 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.440 just see a little bit of action, but I don't 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.359 also know how to I don't know anything about stocks, 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.959 So I'm going to close this tabu. Yeah, I don't know. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.720 I'm not going to get I mean they're saying it 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.040 like like Max, You're just saying it looks like you 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.640 can see the graffiti sprayed on it in the mad 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:36.200 Max world, right. Yeah. The thing is that, like I 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.320 I don't know in what form like somebody who's going 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.560 to actually make innovations that lead us to greener transportation 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:48.240 and transit, Like what form that comes in right now? 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:53.000 Like it has to be public. I mean that that 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.760 I have no idea like in what like in our 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.399 current reality, how that happens. Because it's just like I 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.920 can't just be at the whims insane billions. I know, 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.400 That's what I'm saying. It's just like it's like, why 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.520 is this only happening in this private Why is the bulletproof? 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.760 Like who needs that? It's just to be really cool? Well, 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:17.240 also because this truck is hard. Jenny Faberman was saying 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.480 on the Twitter that it's like the car for the 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.720 creepy tech bros who are like it's time to start 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.639 carrying guns in San Francisco, you know, protect ourselves and 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:32.120 Dotham like it's a fortified car for like the water Wars, 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:37.280 like it's super creepy. Like my cousin is um she 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.840 just started go fund me for a company that would 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.280 take if you have like a non hybrid, non electric vehicle, 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.520 you give it to them and they give you an 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.159 electric vehicle, like an inexpensive electric vehicle. And I was like, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.320 that sounds great, But then I also was like, what 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.840 do they do with the car that they like? They 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.280 then you just have like this giant piece of waste. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.520 So maybe the thing is I think that there are 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.480 companies that are retrofitting, like they take old cars and 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.199 kind of like retrofit them to be electric. Do you 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.439 guys want a car to look like? I mean, I 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:12.920 love eighties Mercedes. You like the boxing Mercedes boxing taking 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.560 out the like the hope, like none of us should 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.120 have cars, but if you have to have one, okay, 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:22.280 we'll have them. Though. I mean, so there's this car 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.040 that parks um like near my house and it has 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:26.679 a vanity. I think I may have talked to you 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.359 guys about this car. It's its name is Surfing Mountain 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.359 because it's license plate is Surfing Mountain and it's a 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.160 sea foam green Bronco. And if there were a way 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:38.000 to make that an electric car, that might be my favorite. 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.239 But I also really liked the eighties Volvo station. You 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.440 guys all like a box frame. I kind of take 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.080 boxy car, and I just like the new Like the 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.959 new Toyota camera, for instance, looks like a matchbox car. 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.399 Like it's too streamlined and it looks kind of like 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.639 just plastic e to me. So I like fins really. 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:57.800 Oh yeah, I know that you You do have like 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.240 a car fetish on your listagrams time, like a sixties 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.520 seventies carre. I just don't feel like they're that practical. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:07.520 That's why this is in the world where we can 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.240 have any car, Okay, because the Bronco, I'm like, I 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.960 could dry if that were not like if it were 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.439 a green Bronco, a c foam green Bronco, Like I 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.359 could live my life with that car. I'd have a 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.119 lot of fun in that car. It looks so cute 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.040 in that car. I have a question for you, if 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:27.159 you could have that car like your dream sixties like 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:31.040 flashy car with fins and it had an electric engine, 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.680 but it was a Tesla engine. Would you take that car? 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.800 Good question? No? Really otherwise not at all, not at 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.919 all identifiable as a no, because it would catch on fire. 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.600 Molly really distrusted that. I really distrusted the products from 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.880 that company. And also I had a friend who bought 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.439 a really great car, my friend John, who fend too, 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.520 but an amazing throwback car when we first moved to 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:56.600 l a and it became such a pain in the 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.720 ask for him, so that I was like, oh, the 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.159 reality of your fantasy car. Oh, you mean like a 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.919 like an old car, Yeah, like a low rider. And 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.120 then I was like, no, I couldn't drive it anywhere. 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.879 Peter had an eighties Mercedes that was great, but it 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.040 was diesel and that sucked. And then eventually it was 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.840 so expensive to maintain that it was like and you 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.320 never got it transferred to the French fry oil. He tried. 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.440 I think it was like one of those things where 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.360 you bringing in there like we could do it if 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.880 you did this, this, this, this, and he was like, uh, 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.399 Like I feel like I could be a tiny car person. 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.560 But I'm very disappointed that Toyota is not adhering to 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.400 the California guidelines and they're going to the federal guidelines, 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.960 the Mission guidelines. I was like shocking to me. Yeah, 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:46.880 look at us talking about cars for so long. Car 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.320 Talk is one of the biggest podcast inspiration. I love 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.240 car talk. I love car talk. Everybody just secretly wishes 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.600 that they hosted car talk. Yeah, are you kidding me? 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:57.880 Those guys know a trade and they get to talk 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.679 about it on a radio shop. It's very one and 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.520 they have a good rapport like all podcasts. Shit, um, Molly, 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:09.000 you speaking of driving around l A. You drove around 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.800 and ended up going up Beechwood to a little place 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.920 called the Minimus pronounce it crow Tona Toona, And then 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.879 Emily said she had also just driven pastor it's like 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.520 up from one oh one, and that is where I 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:29.280 was going driving around. Yeah. It was a former Theosophist 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:34.800 retreat in what the early like the twenties, I think 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.199 earlier than that. Yeah, yeah, um, and now it's an 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:40.760 apartment complex, but I guess they have rehabbed it and 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:42.359 there are some like I don't I don't know, I 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:45.040
