Speaker 1: that you know Australian kiwi sort of sound. Yeah, those

Speaker 1: we swap a lot of eyes for us. Yeah, we

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,920

30
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: one don't here police is it. We'll just sort of

00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: But without traveling and our borders being close, there's been

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: a lot less um sort of teasing about our hilarious cadence. Right.

35
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: You know, we've all been striding around the country talking confidently,

36
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,080

Speaker 1: nice cock. Wow. That's why people get New Zealanders to

42
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: say nice dick. The belief is that we're describing apion

43
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: so pish, that's all. That's all Americans, were you joking

Speaker 1: know where your people settled, uh people? Yeah? Yeah. Australians.

47
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Obviously Australians are like, um, they're high school bullies. They're

48
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: like Australia to Canada, so like, so it is kind

49
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: of true, like that relationship that they showed in Flight

50
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: of the Concords. Yes, they love to ruffle out here

51
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: and tell us it's all okay, and it was all okay,

52
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: comes over. Yeah, yeah, before they ruffled out here, it

53
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: was fine. We like to ask our guests, like, what

54
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that is revealing about

55
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: who you are? I was searching the Clippers because I

56
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: was trying to find a way to watch the game

57
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: and I don't have cable or whatever. This Valley's network

58
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: is that apparently bought all the Clippers games last Yeah,

59
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: that like bought Fox sports or whatever. Yeah, I have

60
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: no idea what's going on. I learned all of this

61
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: very quickly last night when I realized that a national

62
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: playoff basketball game I couldn't watch because I live in

63
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: the city that the team plays in and I don't

64
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: have the right wires coming into my house. Right. Yeah,

65
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: there were a lot of people talking about like how

66
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: they ran the the NBA scheduled the Lakers game and

67
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: the Clippers game at the same time, same damn time.

68
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: It's pretty ridiculous. Yeah, it's pretty And I know there's

69
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: a lot of puzzle pieces with stuff being on the

70
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: West Coast and you know, all the moving parts with

71
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: all the games. Was the first round, so there's like

72
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: all of these series happening once. But you you figured

73
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even be on the same day at the

74
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: same time. And this is game two of round one. There,

75
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: this was unavoidable. It's not like this is you know,

76
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: they're one teams in the first round Game seven and

77
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: the other teams that like, this is just straight up

78
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: this was the plan all along, Mike, you the Clippers, Man,

79
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: I think so, or I thought I was. Now I'm

80
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: I'm just confused, man, I'm just confused. I have no

81
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: idea what's happening. They seem cursed. Yeah, And it's like,

82
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: I feel like it's too dangerous to root for them

83
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: now because who wants who wants heartbreak that it's for

84
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: sure coming right, and for people who don't know it

85
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: might not be interested. You know, one of the big

86
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: things going into this postseason with the Clippers is that

87
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: they tanked because you know, some they tried to manipulate

88
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: their records so they wouldn't have to face the Blazers.

89
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: They didn't want They wanted to avoid stronger oppositions, so

90
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: they wanted to face the Mavericks. And now they're down

91
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: to nothing in the series handed to him by the

92
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: people who they who they chose right, and and and

93
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: and that's weird because I was talking to Jack earlier

94
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: off Mike, I was like, psychologically, you don't want to

95
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: go in like strategizing if you're if you're intent is

96
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: to say no, Actually, I believe this is the team

97
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: that's the best in the league. It shouldn't matter who

98
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: the funk you play, because at the end of the day,

99
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: you're going to prove that through your wins. But too

100
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: then strategically avoid oh tylu come on now, sorry buddy,

101
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe he's just a he's an undercover

102
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Laker in disguise. It's so it's so wild, like the

103
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: fact that the Clippers are down to oh To to

104
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: the Mavericks to like a team that I think I

105
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: think most people had the Clippers winning that series. It

106
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: really does make you ask questions about like the psychology

107
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: around both that, like the team that you're playing, realizing

108
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: that you wanted to play them because you didn't respect

109
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: them enough, right, and then the psychology around like playing

110
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: for what is supposedly a cursed franchise. Well, if you

111
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: watch the last dance, I think what we should all

112
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: take aways. You don't make people angry on purpose, right,

113
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: don't do it? Yeah, because they will athlete have some

114
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: good job of turning that into fuel. Yeah, yeah, like they.

115
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: I think there's a reason that the team that broke

116
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: the curse for the Boston Red Sox were affectionately known

117
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: as the Idiots. Like there's like something psychologically complex in

118
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: sports about like playing for a cursed franchise and you

119
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: just have to either like stupid your way through that

120
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: or just like through sheer tyranny of will like, I'm

121
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: sure Lebron would be able to do that. I mean

122
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: he did that with the Calves, but not to piss

123
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: off Clippers fans even more. But I mean, come on,

124
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? The Los Angeles Clippers.

125
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I think they're overrated. So we don't have we don't

126
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: have to stay on him. I just we have three

127
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: basketball fans talking right now, and this is what's happening

128
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: right now. I'm I'm on the other side of that

129
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: lifelong Laker fan, so I I love it. Uh, this

130
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: is when I become my most toxic because a lot

131
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: of the times I am I love the relationship between

132
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: like a franchise that defines themselves based on someone else,

133
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: and I just love to see it backfire. But part

134
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: of me also like on paper, I'm like they I'm

135
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: like scared of the Clippers until I see the results

136
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, hmm, let's well, it's up and down.

137
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: They should be like really good. I'll be surprised if

138
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: they lose the series still because I just feel like

139
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: k While put it together. But man, it was the

140
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: last person to go to games down, yeah, right and

141
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: then come back win, So you know, see are you feeling.

142
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what do I mean you, Mike, you look

143
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: lost as we talk about this, and just I feel

144
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: like you're watching like old Darius Miles highlights playing well.

145
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean I did have to watch the game in

146
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: my own mind last night, that is, that is part

147
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: of I couldn't actually see it. So I'm just like

148
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: watching Google for information and live score coverage. I don't

149
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: even know how to pirate stuff anymore, so I didn't.

150
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know. But also a z Gang holler, holler,

151
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: I Mike on Twitter with some info because there are

152
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: plenty of ways, because it's the same thing like Spectrum

153
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: Sports or like kan in l A, what do you

154
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: want to watch your team where Yeah, you have to

155
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: just work around these greedy broadcasters. Yeah I got and

156
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: I got caught out there yesterday. I didn't know what

157
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: to do, so yeah, yeah, I mean I only caught

158
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: I caught like highlights. And then at the end of

159
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: the Laker game, they like cut to you know, they

160
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: started watching it on the t N T brow or

161
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: the whatever the broadcast was. Yeah, so you could got

162
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: like the last couple of minutes where like Charles Barkley's like,

163
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: oh man, and they weren't even It was funny because

164
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: they were they were just watching and they weren't really

165
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: giving commentary, but it was commentary, and that this is

166
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: what it sounds like when the four of them are

167
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: watching something passively Lakers fans. Miles, you said you were

168
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: a lifelong Lakers fan, and that that's true. You had

169
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: to live through those tough times when they were where

170
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Kobe was still putting up like eight one and no

171
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: stop stop stop. I was here. I was there that

172
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: one year when Magic Johnson like was Lakers. They know

173
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: my history, man, like fucking down, I've I've held ashes

174
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: in my hands and be like, what is happening? And

175
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: then yeah, the pensions on the other way, and now

176
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'm using this to completely become an insufferable fuck.

177
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: So I'm a Bulls fan, So I have no sympathy

178
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: for you at all. We haven't won anything in my

179
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: adult life. Yeah, the one loss in the playoffs. The

180
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: Lakers lost their first game of the playoffs, and I

181
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: was getting the texts from Lakers fans being like, what

182
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: is Vogel doing right away? People passionate context of what

183
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: a postseason even looks like. It's like we only did

184
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I think it was like against

185
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: that one series against Iverson where we like went winning

186
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: every single game on the way to the finals, and

187
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: then when we lost, like but yeah, that one lost

188
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: again like one of those hard things that Lakers fans

189
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: had to live through when they lost that one game

190
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: to Diverson. That was hard, man, that must you swept

191
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: everyone else that year. But yeah, I mean, these are

192
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: the same people who were texting me last year being

193
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: like Vogel should be fired, like halfway through a run

194
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: to the playoffs where they won the championship and they're

195
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: like back, They're like this guy, what the what is

196
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: he doing? It's like you think that it would build

197
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: up faith. But I don't know, Lakers fans, I don't

198
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: call for heads like that, like that's any anytime somebody's

199
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: coaching Lebron, like part of their job description is to

200
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: take all the blame for everything, because you know, we

201
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: all think that Lebron's really coaching the team and that

202
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: guys just standing there board that's right, Tyler. That one

203
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: picture he's like outside the huddle dumping on someone's back.

204
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? I think it's underrated.

205
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: And this is again Gray's Anatomy related and that is

206
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: all you will be getting for me today is graze

207
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: a nomy content. So I hope you like it. It

208
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: is underrated that I really like that men have to

209
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: be hot. Now, Um, that's nice that that standard has

210
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: now been applied to all genders. It's just that everybody

211
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: has to be hot, because it used to be that

212
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: if you were watching a movie and they introduced a guy,

213
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell if he was supposed to be hot

214
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: until you heard the music cube or saw the main

215
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: character's reaction, because a lot of the time they would

216
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: present you with like a really average looking guy, not

217
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: an ugly guy, just a regular looking guy. Yeah, But

218
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: then the characters would be like, oh, he's fine or whatever,

219
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, and you'd have to see that to know

220
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: because they were just like, yeah, we can't find any

221
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: hot guys. We just don't know where to find them.

222
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Or the white guy who like the white cis heterosexual

223
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: guy who like was directing the movie just like didn't

224
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: give a ship, was like that guy's probably hot, right,

225
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: Like I can't be hotter than me because I want

226
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: to think I can funk these people in my mind

227
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: also like where would we be without this move? Someone

228
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: lowering their glasses to excuse him, glasses just pulled, pulled

229
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: some shades. I've got all kinds of props, you know,

230
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: around here. If we can, we can, we can do

231
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: a terrible improp scene. If now he has giant scissors,

232
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: what are you doing with those giant scissors out? I

233
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: felt like on Sex in the City though, too. That's

234
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: when I would always see like norm core as dudes

235
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh fuck, and I'm like why yeah

236
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: talking about Yeah it was, but it took their repection

237
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: for me to say like, oh, that's what's hot, and

238
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: then for you to understand what's supposed to be hot. Actually,

239
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: now that you say that, I think about the confusion

240
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: that overcame me as like a pubestan boy being like

241
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: this is what they're feeling, like, this is what's hot.

242
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm in trouble then, because I'm not.

243
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't look like some fucking little league coach. Well,

244
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: sometimes I would see that and I would be like,

245
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: am I hot? Because I'm harder than that guy. You know,

246
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm hot, but like, if that's the standard,

247
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: but there was a completely different standard for girls and guys.

248
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: And now, because you know, now we have YouTube beauty tutorials,

249
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: nobody has an excuse to not know what to put

250
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: on their facebody has an excuse. Yeah, how to alter

251
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: your face with paints, how to moisturize your skin, how

252
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: to dress. All this information is on the internet now.

253
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: And uh it's also thanks to a lot of people

254
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: working very hard. There's more people of color on TV,

255
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: so you don't just have to go with the best

256
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: looking white guy. Now you can go with the best

257
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: looking any race guy, which really widens your field to

258
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: the hottest of the hot. Yeah, I mean Reggae Jean

259
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: from Fucking What's I remember getting a fight with her Majesty.

260
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, like you think I could be

261
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: I could be in a show like him? And she's like,

262
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: hell no. I was like, thank you for keeping it.

263
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Manna is yelling in the chat to be hornier when

264
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: we talk about him. This is the most specific note

265
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: we've ever gotten from consistent with this one. She's like,

266
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: if we're talking Reggae Jean, get the horny nous up.

267
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm I'm going to my zoom recorder and

268
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: turning up called to identify with when you're talking about him,

269
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: and just not not being horny. Look, you either gonna

270
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: get horny, you're gonna get down on yourself. I turned

271
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: off my splush mike so you can't hear. Yeah, that's

272
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: it that we do usually ask that all guests have. Yeah,

273
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: it's a label of NFL games on the sidelines, focus sounds,

274
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: no matter what, just a mic. I shove up their

275
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: channel too, but I turned it down, turned the way

276
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: down from my production people out there. Chris, what's something

277
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: that you think is overrated? Celebrities? Oh? Yes, even though

278
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: you even though you have a famous Twitch show called

279
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: brew got me like, even though I myself wanted my

280
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: whole life to be a celebrity because I thought it

281
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: would solve all my problems my whole life. I thought

282
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: that I wanted to be a celebrity because it would

283
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: give me love without me having to do any work.

284
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: I have found out that also I used to be

285
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: an alcoholic, Joel, you don't know. So as part of

286
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: my alcoholism, I was like, what better way to be

287
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: an alcoholic than be a celebrity, because then you have handlers,

288
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: you have like a team. You know, James at his

289
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: wife that way, who did Robert Downey Junior's wife was

290
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: his handl There there you go, And that's exactly right

291
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: because I don't want to have to meet people. I

292
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: don't want to have to like put myself out there.

293
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I just want my handler to fall in love with

294
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: me because I'm a celebrity. That's exactly right, That's what

295
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: I wanted it. And I'll never I'll always have love

296
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: and I'll never have to do any work and no rejection,

297
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: no rejection. Who's gonna leave that orbit? Everyone's favorite place

298
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: on earth, the land of no rejection and failure exactly,

299
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: the land of no action as well. It's weird how

300
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: that works, right, But I mean, no one's gonna leave

301
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: your orbit of your celebrity because it's unlimited snacks until

302
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: your Twitch show coldbrew got me like doesn't start doing

303
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: as well as they Just here's your real friends. There's

304
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: always there is always a cliff bar within reach when

305
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: you're a celebrity for free, and that's enough to keep

306
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: your significant other around, even if you're a monster, even

307
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: if you're a mom. You're like, he free bases all

308
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: the time. But I get free cliff bars. Yeah, and

309
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: these like backpacks we get for free out yeah and

310
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: back like cologne and stuff and like free anybody. Yeah,

311
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: I have a I have a coffee mug that you

312
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: can charge your phone by plugging your phone into it.

313
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: I got it, got it the Kid's Choice Awards. So anyway,

314
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: the idea that celebrities first of all, Yeah, because as

315
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: an addict, you're thinking, I used to honestly think that,

316
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: Like listen, if I get out of hand, I can

317
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: go to a you know, a mud bath or whatever

318
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: it promises, you know, and the right and then I

319
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: can go back to my other lifestyle. So and they're

320
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: also like I can go to the doctor or whatever

321
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: I want and they can check if I'm dying or whatever,

322
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: and then they say you're not dying, and then I

323
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: can do coke. You know, you're not dying, but your

324
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: heart can't handle any kind of ampheta means I will

325
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: say that you don't alright, but I'm not dying. Right,

326
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: It's not No, it's not it's a good idea, any

327
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: of it. None of it's a good idea at all.

328
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's a terrible idea. Yeah, that I'm gonna

329
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: do coke and then find out if I'm still alive,

330
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: and then do coke again. But I really wanted if

331
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: I thought figured, if you're rich, you can have a

332
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: doctor in your house. I mean, look at Michael Jackson,

333
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: Poor Michael Jackson and his own doctor. It was like,

334
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, give me propa fall and he's like, I

335
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: can't say no to the King of Pope, say no

336
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: at all, but put me to sleep. What did you

337
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: handle that happened? Did you come out the other side?

338
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: What's your vision now that you have this take? So

339
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: here's my take. My take is that it was seeing that.

340
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: It was seeing the Academy Awards and it was lovely

341
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: because it looked ridiculous. It looked ridiculous everyone involved in

342
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: it looks like an egomaniac. No one wanted to see,

343
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: Uh Glenn Close do de butt or whatever the hell

344
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: she's doing. Yeah, it's because they're fools. Celebrities are nothing

345
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: but the worst of us in a way. I mean,

346
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying they're not talented. Some of

347
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: my love, but the culture is absurd and this pandemic

348
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: revealed celebrity used to be just what they are, which

349
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: is completely narcissistic versions of ourselves, and once they were

350
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: stuck at home, they just look like assholes because they

351
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: were just like kind of people. Like they were just

352
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: like kind of people. Remember when they did that. Imagine

353
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: all the people video at the top of the pan.

354
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: That's that's exactly what I was thinking in my head,

355
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: was Galdado when I was thinking that ship? Right, Yes,

356
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: it's like this person just spends too much time on

357
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: their makeup and their hair. This is not someone I

358
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: should be might that should be my even doing their

359
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: own makeup and hair. Listen, celebrities have far too much

360
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: time because people will eight organize their life, be there

361
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: the revenue stream for like at least six people. Once

362
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: you're like at a certain level of celebrity, and those

363
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: people are going to make sure you get to where

364
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: you need to go. Don't worry about driving anywhere. They're

365
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna send a car for you. Your hair and makeup,

366
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: they'll do that. If you haven't showered, they might even

367
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: scrub you, or they'll just deal with your stink, whatever

368
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: is easiest for the general team. Right, they're gonna pick

369
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: out your clothes. You have to worry about that. People

370
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: we talked about this. The other day, we were offended

371
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: when a celebrity came to our office and had to

372
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: pay for their own parking. Mortified, We're like, what's happening,

373
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: Why did that happen? They can't pay, They couldn't Possibly

374
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: this person exponentially wealthier than any of us, And it's

375
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: the whole world opens up to you. And it's like,

376
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: on the one hand, you don't want to feel bad

377
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: for somebody because they have all of the options, right

378
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: and so of course not. But at the same time,

379
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: like that world is so preconditioned that once you, like

380
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: if you're even just a little bit talented, and you

381
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: somehow gets swept up into this thing, like that's it.

382
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: You're off the extra exceptional celebrity. Maybe, like you know what,

383
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't like a Shenado O'Connor was like, I was

384
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: really smart to tear up that picture of the Pope

385
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: because I just got to go back home and chill

386
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: where that's where I like. She's like, I made a

387
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: smarter decision career by stepping out of canceled. She's like

388
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: the only person who really got canceled in the history.

389
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: Well that there's a few that, like, I don't know

390
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: if you remember Shenadoconnor, like that's a that was a cancela.

391
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she got fucked just for ripping up a

392
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: picture of the pope, which is completely righteous. There's nothing

393
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: wrong with I mean in retrospect, it's like at the

394
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: time I was like, who cares about the goddamn pope?

395
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: It's like tear picture of Queen Elizabeth. We have Congress

396
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: people who are like, well, they may have been seventeen

397
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: at the time, I don't know, it's a trafficking and

398
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: we're over here like I don't know trafficking for this.

399
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: But to your point about the celebrity thing, yeah, it's

400
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, on some level, it's like sure the people themselves,

401
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: did they become whatever celebrity culture makes them right, you know,

402
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: because it's not that they're like on some level, yes,

403
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: some people who get reached that level of celebrity will

404
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: begin to really I think, switch gears into what they

405
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: believe a celebrity is. And then you always have to

406
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: look for people who try and maintain their humanity through it.

407
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: There are like versions where I'm surprised at how like

408
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: humble some people are. Not to say that, it's all

409
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: varying depending on who you are, but that there's also

410
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: just like this thing that they also are on comfortable

411
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: with what celebrity culture is and what that means to

412
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: other people, where some like you know, you'll meet people

413
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: like no, I'm just I'm just a person, Thank you

414
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: so much, Like I can get that thanks not shout

415
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: out to all the celebrities who refused to show their kids.

416
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: I feel like that's mainly we're talking about the celebrities

417
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: like no, my child is not a commodity, it's a

418
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: person alone. Let them developed in private. But I think

419
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: we also are learning, like you're saying, Chris too, that

420
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: when we're all stripped down to like what we really

421
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: need as human beings, looking at celebrities like it just

422
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: feels very vapid or it doesn't have any substance to

423
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: it or nourishment, because like you're saying, it's like these

424
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 1: projections of our own egos that we wish to maybe

425
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: be or can't be. Therefore, it's easy to be invested

426
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: in this version of a person that we think, you know,

427
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: it's also to be sympathetic to them. The new media

428
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: landscape has made it so like say the oscars, It

429
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: used to be like best picture. You really were often

430
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: like oh wow that those people really did some work,

431
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, and now best pictures like Mario Kart, you

432
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like it's like Glenn Close.

433
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know why Glenn Close, dude did but

434
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: I didn't even watch it, but I saw, you know,

435
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: all the takes of course, because I'm an take our

436
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: best friends. And he called her up and he was like, yo, Glen,

437
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: please please do this for the best friends. I was like,

438
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: that's a better version of Snoop and Martha. I'm like,

439
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of a very elevated They're like, I'm actually

440
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: like I want to see that dinner party. So anyway,

441
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: my punch line that I wrote down was basically, during

442
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: the pandemic, I found out that the real celebrities are

443
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: deer and bears from hiking. From hiking, I was so

444
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: much more excited. You know, who's got more to offer?

445
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's got more to offer than Glenn Close

446
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: doing to butt a deer, a real deer the forest.

447
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is I just realized that the

448
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: real celebrities are animals, like actual animals in nature, birds

449
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: and ship I'm so much more excited to see a bear.

450
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: I saw bears, Joe hell I went, I went hiking

451
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: a bunch during the pandemic for the first time, and

452
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: that was just a shift, you know what I mean?

453
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: I mean by point my I guess my point was,

454
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: you know what, who's not I don't want to see?

455
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: I love that. I'm just making this all about Glenn

456
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Close doing I don't want to see I don't. I didn't.

457
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I didn't even see it. I just saw the takes.

458
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: I never see anything. I just see the takes. Uh So,

459
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: I never watched anything at anything was looking for din

460
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Or audio from nineteen seventy six, Man Ordering Eggs nineteen

461
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: seventy four rough audio, raw raw fortage of Man ordering eggs.

462
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: So anyway, I just think that for me, there was

463
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: a shift towards, like, you know, away from celebrity culture,

464
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: which I liked because I like celebrities too and I

465
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: love pop culture. But it just shifting to the woods. Literally,

466
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of fun. I'm waiting for

467
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: the first Bear Vogue cover exactly thing. I would vote

468
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: for Christian Triano to style it. Let's go, all right,

469
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break and be back with

470
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: one more because we got got a lot of runway

471
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: when we're landing the crafton plane. We'll be right back.

472
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: Stick around and we're back and let's check in with

473
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: our old friend Amy Cooper. I mean, she's like maybe

474
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: her face is definitely on the like Mount Karen more

475
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: like of the most famous Karen's. Yeah, I don't know.

476
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of a weird time because she wasn't like

477
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: Barbecue Becky or some of the other ones like Lemonade Lisa,

478
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: some of the other famous white women who would just

479
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: sort of you know, metal and just called the police

480
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: on people doing things like having a barbecue, selling lemonade

481
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: and ship like that. I think because this ship went

482
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: down the same day George Floyd was murdered, so you know, rightfully,

483
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: so the reaction they got the reaction it deserved. And

484
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: for if you don't remember, it is Christian Cooper. He's

485
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: a bird watcher. He was in the bramble of Central

486
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: Park where it's posted everywhere you gotta have your dogs

487
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: on a leash, and a lot of bird watchers like

488
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: to go there, and when your dogs are not on leash,

489
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: they can chase the birds away and now you've got

490
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: the fucking day wasted because this person got the dog

491
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: off the leash. So if you remember the video, was

492
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: him just being like, hey, do you mind putting your

493
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: dog on the leash, like you're not supposed to have

494
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: the dogs off leash in this section of the park,

495
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: and she's like, oh, this black man is attacking me. Yeah,

496
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: And then like you know, if you remember, she was

497
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: like yanking the dog around by the leash, and people

498
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: are like yo, yo, yo, you're not even paying attention

499
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: to your dog. You're just like flinging it around. So

500
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: it led to you know, she lost her job. Believe

501
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: the dog was even taken away because a handle a

502
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: dog on a leash um. And you know, she and

503
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: she even had a kind of apology that she did publicly.

504
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: I'll read it just so you can, because I think

505
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: this is a good primer to understand where she's at now.

506
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: So the starts off really clear. I sin Cemilian humbly

507
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: apologized to everyone, especially to that man. Oh okay, okay,

508
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: keep on. I'm sorry to that man uh and his family.

509
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: It was unacceptable, And I humbly and fully apologized to

510
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: everyone who's seen that video. Everyone that's been offended everyone

511
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: who thinks of me in a lower light, and understand

512
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: why they do. When I think about the police, I'm

513
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: such a blessed person. I just I don't even need

514
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: to read anyone. She says, I've come to realize that

515
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm afforded a different luxury in my interactions than with

516
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: the police than other people might be, and then ends

517
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: it with I reacted emotionally and made false assumptions about

518
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: about his intentions, when in fact I was the one

519
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: who was acting inappropriately by not having my dog unleash.

520
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm well aware of the pain that misassumptions and insensitive

521
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: statements about race cause. Cut to she's suing her bosses

522
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: and former employee or for wrong determination and she was

523
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: discriminated against. Oh yeah, she's really the victim. Let's think

524
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: about it here. I mean she you know, poor thing. Yeah.

525
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: I think her lawyers are that band prodigy who are

526
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: like you, the victim. Okay, yeah, that's right. This is

527
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: in her lawsuit. She says Franklin Templeton is a company

528
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: she worked for, characterized a former employee is racist for

529
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: calling the police on a black bird watcher whom she

530
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: had had words with while walking her dog in Central Park.

531
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: Ok okay, they're saying that was the problem is that

532
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: they categorized it as a racist. Amy Cooper said the

533
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: incident was spurred by her fear of the bird watcher,

534
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Christian Cooper, who she says had a history of quote

535
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: aggressively confronting end quote dog owners for walking their dogs

536
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: off leash. She even goes on to say that she

537
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: can even back up her scary black man claims with

538
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: a testimony from a fellow black man that would also

539
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: attest to Christian Cooper's scary eness for being like, hey,

540
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: have some respect for the bird. Why Like I don't.

541
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I still don't understand what is so scary,

542
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's it. I'm wondering if like part of

543
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: their strategy is to wait a year and hope that

544
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: we don't remember what we saw in that video, because

545
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: like she is talking to the police and being like

546
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: a black man is like, ah, I forget she says

547
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: a costing me or attacking me, but whatever it is,

548
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: she's definitely you satronizing the description of this person on

549
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: the phone to the police, which is why everyone's like,

550
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, you know what the funk you're doing. You're

551
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: saying I can call police, and that's why you should

552
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: stop telling me what I can and cannot do. That

553
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: is not your place as a black person telling me

554
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: a white person if whether or not I shot my

555
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: dog on the leash, and that, you know, is what

556
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: it boils down to. And even her employer was like, yeah,

557
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: we're like, we don't have anything to say. The video

558
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. Quote. Her lawyers sucked up because it

559
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: should have been like, we're suing her workplace for just

560
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: nation they were discriminating against Cuckoo for Coca Bust people,

561
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? My god? And they should have

562
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: definitely used that language to it's a mental health issue

563
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: after all. Yeah, General Mills brought you. Oh yeah. She's

564
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: also suing for her lost wages and like a bonus

565
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: that she thinks she would have got. Uh, okay, I'm

566
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: sure every every company is doing Bookoo numbers. And she

567
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: also says like determination caused obviously much trauma and pain

568
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: and distress as well. This lawsuit is not busting bust

569
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: perspect Sorry, it's so funny because she it's like we're

570
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: watching someone like find out about the internet in real time.

571
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: But I feel like this isn't even the Internet. This

572
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: isn't like a clip taken out. This is a three

573
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: minute long clip. Her actions are so clear. So she's

574
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: claiming that she was discriminated against by like someone showing

575
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: her behavior to lots of people like that's that's the

576
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: only thing that happened. So it's I mean, look, I'll

577
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: play the video really quick. Just you can hear she's

578
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: because a lot of in her lawsuit. He's like, you go,

579
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: you should play the whole nine one one call. The

580
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: video starts off when she starts charging at him fro

581
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: being like, yo, can you put the dog on a leash?

582
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: Please don't come close to me? Please don't come close

583
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: to me. Please don't come close to me. Please please

584
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: call the carts. The calling cops, and the dog is like, yo,

585
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: you're lifting me off the grounds, threatening me. Right, there

586
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: was an African American man just like I'm not sure

587
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: if you heard me, motherfucker threatening the dog. At this point,

588
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: she's literally holding the dog like off the ground. I

589
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: forgot about that part again. I'm sure, Yeah, you need

590
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: the whole nine one one call. But regardless, nice try,

591

00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: trying to make a podcast's keeping her name up there. Yeah.

600

Speaker 1: was going to be speaking at like Sepack or like

604
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:05,360

Speaker 1: really within ten days of the incident. Okay, So look, look,

608
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: people everyone last their cool. Homi, let's just let's just

609
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: call it bygones. I don't know what I mean. This

610
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: is the the crescendo to be speaking at Sea Pack,

611
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, just like with the mccloskeys, who were like

612
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: pulling guns on protesters, and we were predicting. We're like,

613
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: they're speaking, and I was just flippantly. I was like,

614
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna be at sea pack and they were. I mean,

615
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: the second she starts taking it to like cancel culture

616
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: or like the liberal media, She's not. There's no buzzwords

617
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: like that quite yet. But I'm sure you know, right right,

618
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: her fed up talk with all the conservatives, her ted

619
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: nugent talk. Oh god, alright. I wanted to give a

620
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: quick update on Havana syndrome, like, do are you familiar

621
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: with what Havana syndrome is? No. When I readious outlined

622
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: his entire paragraph, fucking terrified me, just like three different

623
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: points in it. I just like broke out in tears.

624
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: So so, there were diplomats, just like the real quick

625
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: thumbnail version, there were diplomats in Havana at the start

626
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: of the Trump administration who started feeling like they were

627
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: being hit with a sound being. Basically they were feeling

628
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: like pressure changes in their brain. They were suddenly like

629
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: had vertigo. Like even after the fact, I've been in

630
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: between like thinking that it's like could be a mass

631
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: psychogenic illness, like basically a a mass panic thing, and

632
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: not because I think like people are being babies, but

633
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: because I think the placebo effect and like the power

634
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: of the mind to create actual physical symptoms in our

635
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: bodies is like highly underrated. But the so the New

636
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: Yorker differs with me. Uh and I've always said they

637
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: were hacks, but they they believe that this ship is

638
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: going on. They kind of wrote an article that went with,

639
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: like the CIA take on it that they're they're being

640
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: attacked by probably Russia with microwave weapons. The New Yorker

641
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: the CIA is still kind of on that path, and

642
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: they believe that it's actually spread now to being at

643
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: people being attacked while working at the White House, and

644
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: there's been like people suffering from similar symptoms. I still

645
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: think the symptoms are like kind of vague and weird,

646
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just very diffuse, which is which

647
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: is what I think, which is why I still kind

648
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: of lean towards mass psychogenic. But um, so, what the

649
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: US is doing now is they're going to try to

650
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: create these weapons. Because so that's the other because that

651
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: always works, that always works out great, So that that's

652
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: the but that's the thing that is so weird here

653
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: is that science doesn't have an understanding of how a

654
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 1: weapon like they're describing could do the thing that they're

655
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: claiming it does, and so now they're going to like

656
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: build weapons that they think can do this with microwaves

657
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: and like train them on primates brains basically to try

658
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: and recreate the symptoms, which is fucked up. So do

659
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: we mean, like what do you say microwaves? Right? How

660
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: close is this to the thing that you know you

661
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: hate soup with in your kitchen? Like how how like

662
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: what what is what is the different differentiation there? Because

663
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: I refuse to believe we have consumer technology that has

664
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: not been tested as a weapon that that is the case, right,

665
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: I think they're much bigger. Like one of the criticisms

666
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: of any theory that this is like a real weapon

667
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: being used on people is that like you would need

668
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: a thing that is the side that would take up

669
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: like an entire hotel room to like create the level

670
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: of like radiation or microwaves that like would cause this

671
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: sort of injury, and after it happens, they just like disappear,

672
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: And it like happens in all sorts of places that

673
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: happens to people like while they're walking on the street.

674
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: It happens to people while they're driving in traffic. Again,

675
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: the White House, which like you would think is pretty secure,

676
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: like that it's happening to people there. There's also the

677
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: fact that what this is happening at the same time

678
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: that we're seeing things that science can't explain happening in

679
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: the sky and now apparently in the sea, over the

680
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: ocean and under the ocean like that, there's now a

681
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: submarine data that suggests that like similar to the flying

682
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: tic TACs, uh, submarine sonar has spotted things moving through

683
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: water at speeds that don't make scientific sense. And so

684
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: it's a weird moment where suddenly like the military is

685
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: is coming out and being like, uh, yeah, so like

686
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: we don't know, but the ship is weird. Uh. And

687
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: they're doing that on like a number of fronts. So

688
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: you could skeptically say like they're using this as a

689
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: ploy to make people scared, to create like another arms

690
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: race with instead of the Soviet Union, like a imaginary

691
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: threat fans, right fanos basically, but it is it's still

692
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: just kind of a mess, like the whole story, just

693
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: like the reporting around it. It's still scary though it's

694
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: scary scary. These words are very scary. There's something about

695
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: increased white matter in here. I don't know what that is.

696
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: What's white matter? Right? So that's the thing, Like they

697
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: talk about the people who suffered the injuries, when they

698
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: examine their brain on scans, they seem to have increased

699
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: white matter, which or decreased I forget one of the two,

700
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: but it's a bad one. Where like the thing that

701
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: connects thoughts is not there as much as it should be.

702
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: The no, exactly the thing you said they're trying to

703
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: we reverse engineered and tested on primates. Okay, so that's

704
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: the beginning of Planet of the Apes, isn't use? That's

705
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: what the is gonna happen? Like you like, you just

706
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: super charge their brains up right, I don't know what

707
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: that's just that's what I'm hoping for. Fingers crossed. It

708
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: does seem like, yeah, this would be a great origin story.

709
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: At the same time, the it's probably just going to

710
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: make those primates lives shitty from the rest of their existence,

711
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: like it has for the people who work in the

712
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: State Department. And again, by saying mass psychogenic illness, I'm

713
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: not saying this is something that they could just snap

714
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: out of sounds like what you're saying. You just sound

715
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: like you're saying they're whiny. Yeah, don't get it, Yeah,

716
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: stop whining, be right. I do hope though, that this

717
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: does lead. I just want to see a Silverback Gorilla

718
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: rip off parking meter out of the fucking sidewalk with

719
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: concrete on and just like chuck it through like an

720
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: armored sheriff's car. Yeah, you know, like when these primates

721
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: are unleashed. I'd like to see that from afar. Yeah,

722
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm actually just I'm just thinking up things

723
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: I've seen in Planet of the Apes, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

724
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: so those of the Apes movies are dope. Yeah, I

725
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: would suggest you watch those those wait movie yeah yeah, yeah,

726
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: the What the Franco and then the other one. Those

727
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: are those are pretty cool. Alright, let's take a quick

728
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: break now that we're all suitably terrified, and we'll be

729
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: right back. And we are back and the Olympics are

730
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: almost here. Oh my god? Which is wild? I I

731
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess there's usually like this impending media

732
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: like cloud that seems to always be looking forward to

733
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: the Olympics in America. At least I don't know if

734
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: that's how it is in New Zealand. Guy, But like

735
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: I the Winter Olympics, you realize that's happening once it's

736
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: started and and it's on TV and people are suddenly

737
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: talking about it. But the Summer Olympics, I feel like

738
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: it is always a big deal with like a lead

739
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: up in the media and in the sports world. Simone Biles,

740
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: the greatest U S gymnasts of all time, maybe the

741
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: greatest gymnast of all time, has been like doing this

742
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: routine on the vault that is like unprecedented, and that's

743
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: that's really the only piece of mainstream news I've seen

744
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,479
Speaker 1: that like kind of crossed over into the zais where

745
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: I would have been like, wait, why are we talking

746
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: about gym gymnastics again? Oh, there's an Olympics coming home.

747
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: Doesn't realize how ignorant I am too a gymnastics because

748
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: like Simone Biles just does things. So after less I'm like, okay, yeah,

749
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: that looks normal, right right right, And then and then

750
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: I remember I think it was like Franklin Leonard, past

751
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: guests or someone was like, can someone explained to me,

752
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: like I know this is historical, this double pike your

753
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: chenko that she just busted, but like, I don't beyond

754
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: just seeing that looks like just some very cool shit.

755
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: And and and then someone's like, check out Mary lou Retton's

756
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: four vault that got her a perfect ten in eighty four,

757
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: and you'll see how much the game has changed. And

758
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: then you watch the tune, like, okay, right, she just

759
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: came up. Mary lou written just came up to the

760
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: vault and then did a somersault underneath it, and that's

761
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: what got her perfect ten, which is my my famous vault?

762
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: Is it the judges fist time seeing a gymnast? I

763
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: think that's the fist of venta holy ship. There's an

764
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: interesting experiment that if you only watch Simone Biles, then

765
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: you'd be like, god, wow, incredible what old gymnasts can do, right,

766
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: And that is kind of how it is. That's the

767
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: only thing that me, a non gymnastics follower like really

768
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: sees is the greatest like single acts of h Yeah,

769
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's true of like all sports. I mean

770
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: it's like anything, right, Like someone might watch joke it's

771
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: just bland, a weird shot, and we're like, yo, that

772
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: is difficult to even take a shot. Like that, or

773
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: people who play, you know, who think soccer is easy.

774
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: Try trapping a ball that's coming from, you know, just

775
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: above your head and effortlessly just trapping the ball. There

776
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: are so many little skills that, like, yeah, that are

777
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: born out of ignorance. That's why I'm just trying, especially

778
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: with Simone Bios, to inform myself so I can truly

779
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: appreciate just how next level this ship is. What you're

780
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: what you're talking about's very excited to me. I was

781
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: hopefully there's some sort of large scale international platform with

782
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: the basic athletes from every country to represent themselves and

783
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: show us these different skills. Well, guys, because Japan Tokyo,

784
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: even though it's that's my favorite thing about it's like

785
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: I think that no one it's gonna remember COVID, Like

786
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: when we look on those games are gonna be asterisk

787
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: to hell, you know what I mean, Like when you're

788
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: looking at a do people still looking at all my

789
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 1: nexs like I used to when I'm playing in San Diego.

790
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: But the whole thing with this is like right now,

791
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: Tokyo is in terrible ship. Japan is in awful shape

792
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: in terms of the COVID situation. The vaccinations have like

793
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: stalled out. Less than five percent of people have their

794
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: first shot. Major metropolitan areas have declared states of emergency.

795
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: The Osaka hospital system, they said, is completely understrain, if

796
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: not like on the just brink of disaster because of

797
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 1: the amount of people that are having to be admitted.

798
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: And the United States government is even telling Americans like,

799
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: don't even think about taking a trip to Japan right now.

800
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: Don't even try it, even though yeah, we're the probably

801
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: the worst place on earth to go a few months ago,

802
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: but don't even think about going there? Is that too

803
00:45:55,080 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: Americans or American athletes to Americans now that you're did

804
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: States Olympics and like Paralympics committee has said, don't even

805
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: think about not going some mo biles, you better get

806
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: your ass on that because we gotta work to do.

807
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, they the obviously the people are representing the athletes,

808
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: believe that it's going to be a perfect bubble, no

809
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: problem at all, don't even worry about it. Meanwhile, the

810
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: polling shows that even the people of Japan look on

811
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: the other side of this. Prior to it, I spoke

812
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: to friends and family in Japan. They were like, oh,

813
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: the Olympics are coming, that that will be fun because again,

814
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: any opportunity for nationalism. Chapanese people love you know what

815
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think like most countries, but you know,

816
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: for Japan there's like certain sports where we really excel.

817
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: So this felt like a good moment. Now of the

818
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: people in Japan are against hosting the Olympics this year

819
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: want to postponement. Forty percent want a complete cancelation. So

820
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, but since a lot of money has been made,

821
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: what are we going to reprint these T shirts? No?

822
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,959
Speaker 1: The T shirt the T shirts become more valuable. Yeah,

823
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: I would love if these got canceled. To get my

824
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: hands on some Tokyo is a ticket? Who's who? Who

825
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: speads a cancelation? Is that the io C is that

826
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: the Japanese government? Like how does how would that? Actually?

827
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: I think I would have to come from the IOC

828
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: because the Japanese government has not put up any resistance

829
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: to the games. So it's gonna take the executives for

830
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: the i o C to wonder is this worth it?

831
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what their calculus is.

832
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: It probably does have to do with the amount of

833
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: fucking merchandise that's probably been produced with the number or

834
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: some ship, but I don't know, Like I mean, I

835
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: would be interesting though, too, to see how many athletes,

836
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: if any, refused to participate. They're like, yo, this is

837
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: just a reckless I'm sorry, this is just this seems

838
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: so reckless, and I don't know how. I don't know

839
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: if you women you want me to put myself at risk,

840
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: and other people like no, I'm off this that the

841
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: athletic cycle of an Olympic athlete is so like they've

842
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: got such a limited amount of opportunity to be the

843
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: best at what they do. And also so many of

844
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: the sports that take place at the Olympics are just so,

845
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, like they're not there's not a light on

846
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: the shot in them in the three years in between

847
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: every ceremony. The life cycle of a sakata, it's like

848
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 1: you get this one chance to come out everything every

849
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: four years. And so, I mean, I can I can

850
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: understand purely from an athletic perspective, how some of these

851
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: people are like, God, damn, I've been working so hard

852
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: for this. I just want to go to the Olympics once,

853
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: like I might be their one opportunity. And then but

854
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: you I mean, I feel like it's it's just it's

855
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: ridiculous that it's happening, and it's it sounds like, yeah,

856
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: money drives it, and if it's going to go ahead,

857
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: then an athlete is going to be like, well, I

858
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: have worked towards us, they're putting it on. I'm not

859
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 1: going to not go. And then it's sort of it's

860
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: a similar thing happened. I don't know if you guys,

861
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: you almost diffinitely don't The i p L, the Indian

862
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: Premier League. It's a T twenty cricket tournament that is

863
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: the most expensive and cricket. It takes place every year

864
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: in India, and they in the face of what was

865
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: stens we looked at the worst COVID nineteen crisis that

866
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: had happened across all of the pandemic was raging through India,

867
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: and then they created this biosecure bubble and like, you know,

868
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: millions of not billions of dollars are being spent creating

869
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: this league and you're they're playing cricket and what is

870
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: a biosecure bubble? And then like it's so incongruous with

871
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: the news you're reading about what's happening in India, and

872
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: then about halfway into the tournament there was a biosecure

873
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: bubble breach and all of a sudden, that highly contained

874
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: the strain of COVID is ripping through the players, and

875
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: then all of them are panicking and trying to get

876
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: charter flights out of the country. And you know, I

877
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: mean that India, it didn't have the facilities to take

878
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: care of its citizens, the people who lived there, and

879
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: I just can't have it feel like you're going to

880
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: see I mean, and I don't know if the i

881
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: C pay attention to that. They must have because it's

882
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: the only other massive multinational sports league that's trying to

883
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: take place in the middle of a of a hot spot.

884
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: But there is a very damning warning and advertisement for

885
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: what is almost invitably going to happen if these guys

886
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: go ahead. I don't know what you can do to

887
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: prevent that. I mean, I think in their mind they'll

888
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: be like, forget that example, what about the NBA bubble

889
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: that works? And they're like, well don't that's not hold on.

890
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: So you're selectively thinking anecdotal to justify this, Why miles

891
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: is the number of vaccinating people stalling it under five

892
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: is their opposition to like getting vaccines or I think

893
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: it's just the distribution is just happening as efficiently as

894
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: it can. But yeah, I just I think just getting

895
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: it available has been the hardest part, right, yeah, alright, Well,

896
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: staying on sports in American sports over the weekend, it

897
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: was kind of a surreal experience where suddenly fans we're back,

898
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: Like the NBA playoffs kicked off over last weekend and

899
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden in New York City where the New

900
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 1: York Knicks play was packed to the gills with people

901
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: like screaming and shouting and not masked up and packed

902
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: to the main sorry not the girls. And one uh

903
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: there was a golf major and it went from they're

904
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: not being anyone on these courses, like watching the tournament too,

905
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: like an unprecedentedly drunk and like out of control crowd,

906
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 1: just like crowding the players and like pouring onto the course,

907
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,439
Speaker 1: like I don't know my dad watches these. I don't

908
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: watch them. My parents are staying with us. And that

909
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: he was just he was like, I've never seen anything

910
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: like this. They were like running up to the guy

911
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: as he was like about to win the tournament, like

912
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: patting him on the back and like grab him and

913
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: ship and he was like, what is happening? But it's

914
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's surreal to see that many

915
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: people in that small space in a world where we

916
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 1: know that the US is not really doing like strict

917
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: vaccine passport, like vaccination passport. You know. The New York

918
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: Knicks and the New York Nets, Brooklyn Nets, who also

919
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: had full attendance, are almost full attendance. They had they

920
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: said that there was like ninety percent vaccination. But I

921
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: don't think they're like checking people's paperwork. Maybe maybe they are,

922
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: but I mean maybe some level. I don't know. I'm

923
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: trying to go to Game three. Yeah, yeah, so we'll see.

924
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: I know they just say pull up with your VACS

925
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: paperwork or whatever and or like a negative PCR test

926
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: from within seventy two hours. But we'll see, you know.

927
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: But people, yeah, I guess they are. Yeah, but it's

928
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: just it. Yeah, but there is this energy though to

929
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: the like the Madison Square Garden game, I could not

930
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: believe what I was saying. I think it's a combination things.

931
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: It's that it's the Knicks are in the postseason again.

932
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: I think for starters mixed with just the post VACS

933
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: world that we find ourselves in. But yeah, it's it's

934
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: I mean people are able to switch it up real quick.

935
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 1: I'm like just now being like a little bit more

936
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: like yeah, fucking baby, I'm I'm feeling feeling safer is yeah,

937
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean the world like I flew back east over

938
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 1: the weekend and everything is like fully masked up, and

939
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: like you know, when you're inside the airport, when you're

940
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: on the plane, like you have to be wearing a

941
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 1: mask the whole time. Still, somebody ordered like two drinks

942
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: in a row, and the flight attendant was like, why

943
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: don't we take a break because you need to put

944
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: your mask back on because you've had it off, like

945
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: having this drink from I think there was all I

946
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: think that was also at play, But the situation is

947
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: so bad on airplanes. I'm surprised you didn't see some

948
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: ship because didn't a flight attendant get or or I

949
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: don't know if it was who who got the flight

950
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: attend got their teeth knocked out on a flight recently,

951
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: but that we're out of pocket, but they're still like

952
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: making everybody wear their masks. You know, I didn't I

953
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: I had a you know, a fake thing covering conscientious

954
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: objector card that held up sir, uh it is my right.

955
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: Uh all right, get off, asshole, Get this asshole off.

956
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: You're saying some kind of body provenance. Weird, don't talking

957
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: about It's just funny that the place that they are

958
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 1: letting people like finally experience the being in public without

959
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: a mask is like this just unhinged, like emotional environment

960
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: where like it's encouraged to just lose your mind on

961
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: the refs and the opposing players. Like the the Knicks game,

962
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: they were like Channing swears that like this young young

963
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,479
Speaker 1: this guy was like really good player, young ship. Yeah,

964
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: and he did tell them what's it been like for

965
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: you man? Because I know you've been really quiet during

966
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: this whole section because probably because you haven't, I know,

967
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: New Zealand's in a bad place. You guys haven't had

968
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: crowds in a minute, I found fantasy. Yeah yeah, we

969
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: can only dream. I mean, yeah, we we've had crowds

970
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: at sports games since I feel like maybe July or

971
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: August last year, and the plan was to um, it

972
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: was elimination. It means that you know, watching these American

973
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: sports games, and stuff, and you see people like all

974
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: these people who are clearly pisted up and packed and

975
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: close proximity to people who presumably they didn't come to

976
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: the game worth with the masks hanging around their chin

977
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: or often air or like holding it to gesticulate, just

978
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: waving germs everywhere. Exactly. We didn't. No one's wearing masks

979
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: at the stadiums because like you have to wear masks

980
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: on public transport, you have to wear masks on airplanes,

981
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: but in the airport you're not wearing a mask, Like

982
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't actually know what the functionality of it is,

983
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, it seems crazy to me that you wouldn't

984
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: wear one all the way through the airport. You've got

985
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: this idea, but just on the plane. Yeah, But so no,

986
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean there's we've even recently we've started playing um

987
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: there was a super right by alt At or competition

988
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: which was like just with the national borders. There five

989
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: franchises who who played rugby against each other. And then

990
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks we've got an open travel

991
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: by what with Australia now so quarantine free travel between

992
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 1: the two countries, and we've started playing super Rugby Australasia.

993
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's called whatever, And now we're

994
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: playing international matches and you're watching sports games in Australia,

995
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: where again people aren't wearing masks. But I mean, it's

996
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: like going to a sports game was the first one

997
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: of the first things I did when we got letter

998
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: out of lockdown, and it was like the sense of

999
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: I can viscerally remember the intensity and the relief and

1000
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: the excitement and just you know, being in a crowd

1001
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: and all of that emboldened and underscored by the fact

1002
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: that we knew that we had to isolate like that,

1003
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, we had eliminated COVID nineteen and so yeah,

1004
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: the consequence was not there. But I think it's it's

1005
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: just too I mean, your guy's experience of it, in

1006
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: your relationship to it so different. I can't imagine that

1007
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: difficult it would be to go to an NBA game.

1008
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: If you're in New York and you support the next

1009
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: and you're at Medicine Square Garden for the first time,

1010
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: what ten years or something, and you've just gotten out

1011
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: of your house for the first time in two years.

1012
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: You've got to remember to fucking keep a mask over

1013
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: your your mouth like Trey Young probably can't hear you.

1014
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: The only way that you're going to get through them

1015
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: is if you can read your lips. Yeah, it's it's

1016
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: a it's the assumed responsibility keeps getting passed down to

1017
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: the individual like it's it's yeah. The same thing with

1018
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: just like with the CDC is bizarre, Like mask mandates

1019
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: were like don't yeah if you well, actually I don't know,

1020
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: maybe if well, how old your kid? And it's like,

1021
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: what are the fucking rules? What? Then forget it essentially

1022
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: as a way to let businesses put it on businesses

1023
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: now to say that's on you to decide, because we don't.

1024
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: We don't want to be the boogie person anymore for

1025
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: the Chamber of commerce, who is allowed like these politicians

1026
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: are allowing, allowing them to put more pressure on us

1027
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: and the other people who are trying to do right

1028
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: by this pandemic. And also just box office continues to

1029
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: be you know, it's not fully there, but it does

1030
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: seem like the people who are releasing movies are getting

1031
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: a better return than like The Wrath of Man. Jason

1032
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: Statham's new movie is going to be the best performing

1033
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: Jason Statham movie to date. Despite being like almost indistinguishable

1034
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: from other chasing state to a Statham head. Yeah, I'm

1035
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: not gonna sit by a while you poo poo the

1036
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: filmography of the Great Jas instead, But like the you

1037
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: couldn't get I could not tell you the difference between

1038
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: the Wrath of Man and the Mechanic to uh like,

1039
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: yeah one of them is a sequel for a stot Yeah,

1040
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: my bad. But it's just I feel like people studios

1041
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: are probably realizing that they're leaving money on the table

1042
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: if they're continuing to not release movies, like there's just

1043
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: no competition so you can really like do well. And

1044
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: Demon Slayer is continuing too. It's now made forty five

1045
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: million in America alone and is the biggest movie ever

1046
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: in Japan with four hundred million dollars, and it's the

1047
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: biggest grossing movie of Wait till Fast nine comes out, Jack,

1048
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: then we'll start seeing you know what I mean? Because

1049
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: the Family Man, when your family or whatever the funk

1050
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: doudline was it all of when you're here your family,

1051
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's all art and not Fast and Furious, but

1052
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: remarkable themetic similarity it does, like the energy around that

1053
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Fast and Furious movie, though, it is kind of funny

1054
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: to see, like, even though it seems jokey, but this

1055
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: does feel like a good time for a movie like

1056
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: that to come out in the US, for at least

1057
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: the people who want to be safe and go to theater.

1058
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, maybe that New Zealand they've been playing.

1059
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're doing it in America. To you. You

1060
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: can go to the cinema and much all the fast

1061
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,280
