The summer eight like dogs, 38 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: But I digress. How much time does that give you? 39 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: At this point? Are you I've essentially a time traveler? 40 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: You did how many? How many hot dogs did you say? 41 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: You think you is around like two hundred, but I 42 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: need I needed to do the minutes. Okay, probably like 43 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: that you lost, right right? I mean as that's a 44 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two hours. So it's like, fuck it. 45 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: You know who who gives you?

That's about five and a half 48 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: days of your life. Apparently that you lost, but I 49 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: went up to see. I also fully think that if 50 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: I looked deep enough into that study it was funded 51 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: by like big Lettuce or something. I'm like, who did 52 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: that study? How do you arrive at a figure like that? Lies? 53 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: All lies? But the summer of Wieners. I know I 54 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: was going to say, I was gonna say, it speaks 55 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: a lot to Jamie's uh where Jamie is at that 56 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: she thinks the I'm very competitor to hot dogs is lettuce. 57 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: It's like, you know the thing the two things that 58 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: you make a salad out of, either lettuce or you know, 59 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of hot dogs. Chapter one the food spectrum 60 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: to the left, lettuce and on the other end the 61 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: hot dog spectrum of lettuce to hot dog, um, and 62 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm unfortunately just fully a hot dog the one hot dog. 63 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: One of my first memories is actually a hot dog 64 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: experiment myself where I was staying with a babysitter and 65 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: she was like, you're gonna have three types of hot dogs. 66 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: We're gonna grill them, we're gonna boil them.

I went 132 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: through Central Park this weekend in Times Square and like 133 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: contended with those those cars and it was a good experience. 134 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: I'm also getting on my bike, but I have I 135 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: just got an electric bike just to like kind of 136 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: commune around, so I don't drive my car as much, 137 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: which is great, but part of it is I live 138 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: in one of the most hostile places for someone to 139 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: be on a bicycle, which is l a um and 140 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: I like you, like my partner, she goes to show 141 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: show bike into work, so she's like very comfortable on 142 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: the roads. I grew up almost getting hit by cars 143 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: to the point where I rolled the role. Mostly would 144 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: ride my bike on the sidewalk, which is not supposed 145 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: to do, just to like avoid the stress of that. 146 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: But as I've gotten out more. I can totally identify 147 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: with like the comfort level because like I at first 148 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 1: hated cars like flying by me when I was on 149 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: a bike. And now you know, I'm like, okay, I'm 150 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: I'm learning my safety like sort of protocols, how to 151 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: keep my head on a swivel, you know, how to 152 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: how to read my body to signal to other cars 153 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: and things like that, and I'm slowly gaining that confidence. 154 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: So like, defensive bike techniques are so important and I'm 155 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: like slowly learning them. Yeah, New York is no joke, 156 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: he I've I used to bike around New York lot 157 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: and I have almost been sandwiched by a bus in 158 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: between like a bus and a parked car. I don't 159 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: know why I think Ellie is more hostile. I think 160 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: it's because I see more people in New York and 161 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: like I don't give a funk. And in that one, 162 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, it must be easy to bike, But 163 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: when I'm on the sidewalks of New York's like, man, 164 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: I would not biking this ship at all. I guess 165 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: it's all about you know, learning, you know, learning environment 166 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: and getting used to it. Yeah, I'm just getting comfy 167 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: on my bike.

What is that about? 179 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: That's gross. I remember in high school we had to 180 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: read Edifice Rex and I was like, bro, this is 181 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: the one where had sex with his mom and rips 182 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: his eyes out, And like my teacher was like, there's 183 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: a lot more than just that, and I'm like, okay, 184 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say she was like 185 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: spoilers people.

Like? Oh? Overrated? Like did Freud say, oh, 192 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: this is something that happens like sometimes and people are 193 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: like Freud said, we all want to funk our moms 194 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: or is it did Freud actually say that? Ship? Yeah, 195 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: it's not like Freud himself, it's our six society. It's 196 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: our sixth society that like I like really fixated upon 197 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: that and then turned it into like a porn genre, right, yeah, 198 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: and that is wildly popular. What is it? If it's 199 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: your stepmother though, that's the edible it's step step step step. 200 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: I think the other versions the electric complex if I remember, right, 201 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: But it's gross. Let's stop talking about it. What it was? 202 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: It hasn't been Wait, what was the last time you 203 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: had to confront something like this? Because I feel like, man, 204 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: I haven't really I don't. I haven't seen it on 205 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Twitter recently, but I'm has something come up recently? We're like, 206 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: here we go with the edible shit? Just like all 207 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: these creepy billionaires are doing this kind of stuff, am 208 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: I right? Billionaires killing their dads and sleeping with their moms. 209 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: That's why we got to get rid of that. It's 210 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: not about the it's not about any economic stuff. Is 211 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: that they're these gross creeps. I mean you think Apstein 212 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: is the only one, right, Yeah, they're all like that. 213 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated? Eli Not to invite 214 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: too much controversy, but phone calls. I get it. I 215 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: get that texting is useful in a lot of situations. 216 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm probably sixty text phone myself. But this kind of 217 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: raw hatred that's come against the very idea of speaking 218 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: on the phone in the last few years. It's really 219 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: strange to me. It feels like a technological step backwards. 220 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: They said, well, you know what if we don't have 221 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: to write these letters and telegrams anymore, and we could 222 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: just speak our thoughts into another person's head directly, and 223 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: that we sort of undid that. That's strange to me, 224 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: right that it's like now I can do instant tele 225 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: grams to a person's pocket and telegram station. Yeah, and 226 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: you're like, fuck no, Yeah, I definitely see like there 227 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: is I don't know if it's generation. I think because 228 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: like as it for me is like a teenager or whatever. 229 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: Talking on the fucking land line was my blood, you 230 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: know what I mean, there's no other way to communicate. 231 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there was a I M and ship like that, 232 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: but the phone was like the next level because you 233 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: could you could just leave the line open. You're both 234 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: watching a TV show, not talking for fucking thirty minutes straight, 235 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: doing your homework and stuff like that. And I so 236 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: I think part of me, I still, I still have 237 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: a love for those times, so I I definitely, you know, 238 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: I don't understand the hate for the phone. I guess 239 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: if it's like for work or something, maybe that's why. 240 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: But other than that, come on now, yeah, yeah, I mean, 241 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: you lose so much via over text, Like there's been 242 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: studies that found that, you know, emails, just don't try 243 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: to fucking tell a joke and work email because you 244 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: are going to fail. People are not going to get 245 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: it right. You guys are right to kind of compare 246 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: to telegrams. I read every text that I received in 247 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: the voice of a wistful Civil War soldier writing home, 248 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: like in a Ken Burns documentary, so that that's just 249 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: how my brain works. And you say stopped too, I think, yes, 250 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, well what else? How else do I 251 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: read the periods out? Luck? Yeah, yeah, I agree, I'm 252 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: on board. But you know this gen Z audience of ours, 253 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: Terry a new one, buddy, there's only three people in 254 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: the world.

Yeah, 258 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, that's another level though of like friendship though too, 259 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: Like are you in the phone zone, because that's like 260 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: when you know, you're like I have to call this person, 261 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: I have to talk to them voice to voice. Yeah, man, 262 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: I'm stuck in the phone zone with this one guy. Sucks. Man, 263 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Just give me to the text zone already. Yeah do 264 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: you guys, Like when do you fit in your phone calls? 265 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Like my wife is really good at like staying in 266 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: touch with people, my wife, and she'll like call them 267 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: when she's driving somewhere. Like she's just like has a 268 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: routine where she immediately like goes to her phone whenever 269 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: there is like a free moment where I would be 270 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: listening to a podcast. Essentially she calls people, right because 271 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: podcast hosts are my friends and so that. Yeah, I 272 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: have para social relationships, but I don't really have a 273 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: time for it. It usually happens on the weekends for me, 274 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: because like I'm I'll be like meandering and I'll get 275 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: a text and then I'm like, funcket, I just need 276 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: to call to keep this thing going. Or half the 277 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: time I'll just call it because I'm driving and I 278 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to continue a conversation 279 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: over text. Wilder, It's more it's sometimes just born out 280 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: of safety more than like I gotta talk to this person' yah, I' 281 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: driving mills. Let's talk about the shoot in the car, 282 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: so I don't have a routine. ELI will buy you. 283 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: Mind's usually driving, that's kind of yeah, because it you know, Atlanta, 284 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I think similarly to l a very car heavy city 285 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: and it takes half an hour to get anywhere. So yeah, yeah, 286 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: all my podcasts come while I'm cooking or cleaning. Mhmm. 287 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: And then driving is driving his phone calls for the 288 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: phone zone. Amazon would have a thing to say about that, 289 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: as you'll get to later. All right, let's take a 290 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back, 291 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: and there is a developing, worsening humanitarian crisis. On the 292 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: other side of the border, in Del Rio, Texas, there 293 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: are mostly Haitian migrants currently living under a bridge and 294 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: basically just waiting to see if the United States will 295 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: help them. Yeah, and the answer seems to be enough. 296 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: It's sadly they're seeking asylum in the United States and 297 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: with you know, Trump and Biden, they seem to be 298 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: doing the same thing, which is basically telling them, no, 299 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: we are unable to do that. Biden hasn't deviated much 300 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: from Trump's policies, which is essentially like weight in Mexico 301 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: during this period, and we will use a CDC guideline 302 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: to sort of justify sending people back on flights no 303 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: matter what, under the guise of essentially protecting the US 304 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: from COVID. And a lot of people are really skeptical 305 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: whether or not that is even having the positive results 306 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: they claim to have by saying like, oh, these people 307 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: have we got to get them out because of the pandemic. 308 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: But it's just a way to justify the inhumane treatment 309 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: of these people who are seeking asylum. And you know, again, 310 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: cramped conditions, glacial pace of processing people just we're seeing 311 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: the same problems, you know, just sort of play out 312 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: over and over, and predictably, Republicans are pouncing on this 313 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: moment as like a way to paint displaced people as 314 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: subhuman and also to try and create a scandal that 315 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: they can campaign on for Joe Biden because xenophobia. It's 316 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: a great motivating tactic for their base with just to 317 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: point at something at the board and say, look what's 318 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: happening because of Joe Biden. I get out there and 319 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: vote for someone who will treat them like not people. 320 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: And we've already seen pictures of the fucking border patrol, 321 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: like on horses whipping people. I don't know if you 322 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: saw those images yet, but it is a really, really 323 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: terrible scene. And Biden, you know, it's totally aware of this. 324 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: I think the dynamic, especially as it relates to the 325 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: conservative sort of painting of this this incident right now. 326 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: And I think that's why he's barely changed the policy 327 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: since he took office, because he doesn't want that. He 328 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: doesn't want to give the right the the optic win 329 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: of essentially being humane and allowing them to turn it 330 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: into this guy's just he's just basically burning the borders down, 331 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's free for all over here at this point. 332 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: And it's and then at the same time continued sort 333 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: of disregard for Haiti's place in the Western Hemisphere and 334 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: why we were at this place, because there's typically a 335 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: really a strong connection between people who are seeking asylum 336 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: in the United States are trying to get into the 337 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: United States and US meddling in their country at some 338 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: point prior to that and destabilizing it. And yeah, Katie 339 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: is a really good example of that, for sure. Yeah, 340 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,959 Speaker 1: I mean I think, you know, the backdrop behind all 341 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: of this is like the earthquake, it's Haiti having lost 342 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: its precedent to assassination very recently. And yeah, it's it's 343 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: sad to see, you know, the fact that Biden isn't 344 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: doing very much right now and is not changing post Trump, 345 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: is not is not really reversing many of these policies. Yeah, 346 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: it's it's um it definitely feels like an optics thing 347 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, it's it's the only way you can, man, 348 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: I think, because already there's problems as it relates to 349 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, the the COVID mandates. As you know, he's 350 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: trying to play a very walk of fine line with that. 351 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: There's also like he's got the U N stuff happening 352 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: this week where he's gonna try and like beg Mike 353 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: mcrown to like like the US again because the whole 354 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: submarine sale incident. But yeah, I mean I think I 355 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: kind of saw vague reference to that, but because yeah, 356 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: because they're like, hey, like we sell nuclear subs, not 357 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: you guys to Australia. It's just it's all part of 358 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: this pact of the New Zealand Australia sort of US 359 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: sort of uh, you know, Pacific Pact against China. But 360 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: you know when it comes to the Haitians, you know, 361 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: like there have ever since that earthquake in twos, you know, 362 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: it's caused many people to seek opportunity outside of the 363 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: country at a at a like a larger rate. And 364 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: then the pandemic killed off a lot of jobs that 365 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: people had in places like Brazil or Chile and things 366 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: like that. So they're moving further to try and find 367 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: a way to survive. And this time there are a 368 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: lot of social media rumors that were like fueling a 369 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: lot of the optimism for these migrants, which essentially that 370 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: they were like, well there's protected status for Haitians, but 371 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: that was really only applying to the people that were 372 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: within the United States, and now they're being met at 373 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: the border with whips and horses and just saying like 374 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: this now is not the time, and putting people on 375 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: flights back to a country that is like verging on 376 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: a like full on, like hot civil war, and so 377 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: many people like this doesn't even make sense, like this 378 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: is just this is like cruelty upon cruelty to do this, 379 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: and you know, to the point of like US intervention 380 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: in Haiti, this has been an issue. You know, Haiti's 381 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: economic development was hamstrung the second that they liberated themselves 382 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: with a slave slave rebellion from France, and France essentially said, okay, 383 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: well will acknowledge your independence if you pay us for 384 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: the lost property that the slave owners experienced as a 385 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: result of you liberating yourselves. And those payments were being 386 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: made from the beginning of the nineteenth century up until 387 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: the last payment I think was made in the forties, 388 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: the nineteen forties, and you know, again the US was 389 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: very very quickly entered Haiti, like towards the or the 390 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: beginning of the twentieth century, took over the Treasury and 391 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: was sort of essentially saying, like, okay, for of all 392 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: the wealth in this country is going to be redirected 393 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: towards quote unquote debt that you owe the U. S. 394 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: Or France. And this has just been this has kept 395 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: Haiti from actually being able to grow as a nation 396 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: and also be part of a global economy. So just 397 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: like so many layers of of of trauma and death 398 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: to deal with. But this is again, this is this 399 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: is the thing that the American media or mainstream media 400 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: will never do, is like give you a real primer 401 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: on these countries where people are coming from and understanding 402 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: what the U. S's role is and how they got 403 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: to where they are, and on some levels should be 404 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: arguing why we should actually be helping these people, because 405 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: it's typically it's always reasons to like why we shouldn't. 406 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden famously said in like the nineties 407 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: that like Haiti was just inconsequential to the United States 408 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: and that's why he was focused more on the Balkans. 409 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, I actually didn't know he said that. Interesting. Yeah, 410 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: it's it's really and it's like very like he said 411 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: it in very dark terms, like essentially saying like if 412 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: it's sunk into the sea, like, we wouldn't really, we 413 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't think twice about it. Nineties Biden tells on modern 414 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: day Biden a lot quotes from nineties Biden like what 415 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: about Israel? And he said, if Hadi just quietly sunk 416 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: into the Caribbean or rose up three feet, it wouldn't 417 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: matter a whole lot in terms of our interest. Oh. Nice, cool, Yeah, 418 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: I do not. That is wild. That is not a 419 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: great quote. No, but he's nice. He's full of not 420 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: great quotes, you know, like and all the time you're like, no, 421 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: he said that. He's sort of one of those people 422 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: you go, he said that, and then at the other 423 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: side of your mind, yeah he said that ship. Yeah right, 424 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: I can also see that. Yeah. I mean the hope 425 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: is that he is politically adaptable and changes and like 426 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: kind of feels the the pressure to move towards the 427 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: more humanitarian place. But that is yeah, well, when you're 428 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: doing ship, like what he's doing at the border right 429 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: now kind of suggests that he hasn't really changed that 430 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: much with regards to it's not a fight he you know, 431 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: this is like another thing, like I think he expended 432 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: a lot of political capital the visibly because of the 433 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: Afghanistan thing, Like we shouldn't have been there. This is 434 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: always going to happen, So someone had to do it 435 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: because every person before me lie to that they were 436 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: going to do it. So we have to do this 437 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: to like move things along. Yeah did I Is there 438 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: a better way to do it? Yeah? Probably, but he didn't. 439 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, immigration is just another one 440 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: of those third rail issues in this country where if 441 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: you suddenly have any movement towards a humane policy towards 442 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: allowing people into this country or people who are looking 443 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: for a better life or asylum, that all it's gonna 444 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: do is you're gonna now have to face just a 445 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: media culture war against this idea that you're saying, like 446 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: America doesn't matter and this is just some place for 447 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: people to come flood and be dirty or whatever. And 448 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: I don't think, yeah it doesn't. See, I don't know 449 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: how many people have moved sort of past being able 450 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: to look at a situation like that and kind of 451 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: not have that take up all the oxygen in a 452 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: in the news. Yeah, it's another example of just you know, 453 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: the the U. S. Government basically understaffing the people who 454 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: are processing people who are making claims of asylum, and 455 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 1: then you know, they even if they had the right 456 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: policy in place, they would you know, just be like yeah. 457 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: But it's the same thing with the distribution of rent 458 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: relief and you know, the eviction ban. It's like they 459 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: don't they they can have all these big ideas and policies, 460 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: but then they don't actually staff it up, so you 461 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: don't have the bureaucuracy in place to actually do anything 462 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: with your with your ideas. Right. I think Deli del 463 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: Rio is having a huge problem with that, like specifically 464 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: right because they're resting a bunch of people, They're putting 465 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: a lot of these people in jail, and they just 466 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: don't have the staff to like to like take care 467 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: of these individuals to process them. Like it's it's it 468 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: really is like in Del Rio. It is bad right now. Yeah. 469 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: And the sad thing is that all these images just 470 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: will make someone who's not as informed just think that 471 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: there's no solution to something like this, and it's like, 472 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: I don't know, we have border patrol, we have you know, 473 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: customs people who work on this, but they still I mean, 474 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: this is this is this is why we got to 475 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: just tighten stuff up rather than really understanding like, no, 476 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: we're not, we're not we're not servicing these people in 477 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: the in the manner that we should be. We're not. 478 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: We're not creating the we don't have the actual infrastructure 479 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: to deal with this because this isn't This is only 480 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: going to increase um as climate changes uh and gets 481 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: more intense and causes more like environmental disasters. People are 482 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: going to move. That's just a nailed on fact of 483 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: our our world, and borders are not. People still move, 484 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: So there is some like I mean, I don't know 485 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: when that reckoning is gonna come, but you know that's 486 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a huge part of how we adapt to 487 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: the changing world is understanding that, like we we have 488 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: to let go of these ideas of like no, you're 489 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: from there, you can only stay there, and you stay 490 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: there until you die, and if you don't, like, don't 491 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: even think about coming here, because we only have enough 492 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: for us, stuff for us, and we're not even worried 493 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: on trying to think of how we can make it 494 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: all work. I mean, for a lot of people, the 495 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: reckoning is already happening, Like the you know, human Rights 496 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: Watch published a letter on Wednesday of last week just saying, 497 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, the this policy of like heavily guarding the 498 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: roots that people across the border that are hospitable, so 499 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: that pushing people to extremely hot and unforgiving terrain, Like 500 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: they are killing people. They're straight up killing people as 501 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: the world gets hotter and hotter. Heat waves are already 502 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: the deadliest form of natural disaster in the US, and 503 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: they're just pushing people into regions where like, in terms 504 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: of how much it's changing, the number of days over 505 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: a hundred degrees fahrenheit per year is expected to climb 506 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: to sixty by mid century, up from the annual average 507 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: of between two thousand, Like that's more than doubled in 508 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, fifty years because of climate change. It's going 509 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: to really kill a lot of people. And but again 510 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: it's like sort of this we're not doing anything, like 511 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: they're they're the ones who are who are doing it 512 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: type logic that conservatism by doing nothing, like just by 513 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: by doing nothing rather it allows the Democratic Party to 514 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: just not get called out for doing cruel things, but 515 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: you know, passively do the cruel policy that makes it 516 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 1: easy for them to triangulate with conservatives. Yeah, I mean, 517 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: so there are so many thoughts regarding heat waves. One 518 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: is that like, actually nobody knows that they are like 519 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: the deadliest natural disasters, Like people don't think about them. 520 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: They don't happen in a as a shocking of a 521 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: way as like a wildfire or or a storm. You know, 522 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: it's it's such a different kind of death. It is 523 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: also an incredibly terrible death, and it's really really brutal, 524 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: Like if you like look up an article that tells 525 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: you exactly how people die from heat waves, it is 526 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: not pretty. And on top of that, you have border 527 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: patrol agents dumping water at the border, like when when 528 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: these nonprofit organizations leave water for migrants along those routes, 529 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: they dump the water out, And that that to me 530 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: is really something that every time I think about that, 531 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: it's just like I can't even imagine. I can't even 532 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: imagine doing that as policy, right, because Yeah, and the 533 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: way I think we have these departments set up, it's 534 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: just to be like, Okay, who's who's willing to brutalize 535 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: these people? There has nothing to do with compassion meeting 536 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: these people with compassion. It's like these are invaders, So 537 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: take away anything they have that would potentially give them 538 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: safe passage, like you're saying, like cynically, just like cutting 539 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: open water containers and just leaving it so there's no 540 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: there's nothing for a fucking human person who's wandering the 541 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: earth to try and have a better outcome for themselves. Yeah, 542 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: just fundamentally, we have just such a barbaric system. And 543 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: I think I think just in general in most countries 544 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: just think of immigration as this like dirty thing or 545 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: a bad thing, rather than acknowledging our place in like 546 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: a global community and understanding, like you know, at a 547 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: certain point, I think a lot of Americans are under 548 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: the assumption that America will be the best place to 549 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: live forever, no matter what happens to the planet. And 550 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think not many people put themselves in 551 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: a place with what if you were trying to cross 552 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: the border and what does that look like? But I 553 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: think exceptionalism has completely happy out of people's minds, because 554 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: that's the only way you could look at this and 555 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: not have any compassion. Like I think me and someone 556 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: who's so worried about what the future holds for this 557 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: planet and future generations, it's all I can think of 558 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: is like, well that that could be you, that could 559 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: be us, that could be I mean, except maybe the 560 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: super rich, right right, the super rich are going to 561 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: be just fine. And it's other than that, it could 562 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: be anyone. Yeah, how do you want your kids and 563 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: grandkids to be treated when they're trying to cross the 564 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: Canadian border and like everybody's trying to get the funk 565 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: out of America? All right, let's flush our systems with 566 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: a nice story of down home activism succeeding. You know, 567 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: last summer, there were a lot of organizations and schools 568 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: circulating lists of suggested books and other materials to help 569 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: broaden people's perspective on race and white supremacy. You know, 570 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: not so anyway, like not all of them were done 571 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: in good faith. That's probably we can discuss that another time. 572 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: But in York, Pennsylvania, their school district's diversity committee released 573 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: a list of all kinds of great stuff for students, teachers, 574 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: and parents to check out, and like clockwork, concerned parents 575 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: stepped in. They couldn't process the demographic changes in their 576 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: community and decided that the reason that their community was 577 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: less white was because kids are reading books about American 578 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: anti black racism that seems at least that's the logic 579 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: I've seen, like, well, this is causing more racing, huh. 580 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, what are you talking about? The the comments 581 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: at these school board meetings, and this is sort of 582 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: pre the full blown critical race theory screaming matches like this. 583 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: This this happened like sort of on the heels of 584 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: the summer of last year. Parents were saying the same stuff, 585 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: this is racist against white people. Like there was like 586 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: a children's book that was like about Rosa Parks and 587 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: it was like the most children's book I've ever seen, Like, 588 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: I can't my kid reading this and then feeling guilty 589 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: that they're white. No, and I can tell that this 590 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: book is what it's what it's gonna say, rather than like, 591 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, being about a kid's book that's humanizing all 592 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: children and being like there's nothing fucking different. So, because 593 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: of all this outrage, the school board banned the materials, 594 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: or rather they said they're putting a freeze on the 595 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 1: list until they had time to review it because they 596 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: don't like the word band. So the great thing is 597 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: that the kids at this high school, they didn't let 598 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: that stop them from educating themselves. And they certainly didn't 599 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: appreciate the sort of like unilateral nature of these like 600 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: books and articles and stuff just being restricted, so they 601 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: started protesting daily. It started off with like a couple 602 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: of kids, and then it grew into like the hundreds, 603 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: and they eventually created the Panther I think Anti Racism 604 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: Union student Union and there I think their mascots called 605 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: the Panthers. But you know again that you love to 606 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: see it. The great coincidence out of foxes and their 607 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: parents were like panthers. No, so they their voices were 608 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: eventually heard. They were able to go to a school 609 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: board meeting to like sort of speak up on what 610 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: they thought. And this one student, Eta Gupta said, our 611 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: thoughts are being invalidated. There's only one portion of the 612 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: community that this band represents and it's not ours. Yeah, 613 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: and like it kicked off like a whole like domino 614 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: effect of of support because they were so vocal, Like 615 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 1: parents sort of were like damn okay, like I guess 616 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: I should if if the students also care, like there's 617 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: ways for me to also. It involved the like the 618 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: banned books thing ended up with that one of the 619 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: authors of some of the books, this guy Brad Meltzer. 620 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: He came up to give comment, like the library said, like, 621 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: you know what, we don't care what the band is, like, 622 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: we will fully stock all of these books and make 623 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: them widely available. And then on Monday, this school board 624 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: unanimously voted to unfreeze or whatever, unrestrict whatever words they 625 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: want to use those books and articles and documentaries. However, 626 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: though along the way they were like mumbling stuff about 627 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: socialism and like communism, even though well, you know, because 628 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: communism obviously like we gotta keep it anyway, fine, it's 629 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: nimous communism, the famous communist principle of doing what the 630 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: majority of people want to do. Yeah, that's that's awesome, 631 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: that's very encouraging. I do keep coming back to this 632 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: idea that people are like pointing to, how like nationally unpopular, 633 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: like some of this ship is, and like that, like, yeah, 634 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: the majority of people want like recognize that racism is wrong. 635 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: And for some reason just popped in my head as 636 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: we're doing this story. I think it was like my 637 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: inner barometer was like this is getting too encouraging, so 638 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: I have to put something depressing in here. That Nazism 639 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: was very unpopular, you guys, it was told in the 640 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: thirties for decades. Uh and and then they like below 641 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: the thirties and then they swept to power. They never 642 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: won a popular election. So you know, as long as 643 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: this is hanging around, as long as they are trying 644 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: to silence people who are telling the truth, you know, 645 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: we we can't be safe unless we're you know, constantly 646 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: fighting this ship. Like these kids didn't. It's I mean, 647 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: it's like we said earlier, the established power just coming 648 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: in and saying, well, this is what this is what 649 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: people want and uh, you know, and that not reflecting 650 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: those opinions at all. Yeah, Well to their high school 651 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: teachers like sort of gave this comedies like, man, these 652 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: kids are like heroes, like you know, like I can't 653 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: believe like the effort they put into this, and they 654 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: that's like everything they did is commendable. But then you know, 655 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: it's just sort of like this idea that he was 656 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: sort of pointing out is like, you know, most Americans 657 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: and school children and most parents they support this kind 658 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: of educational material for their kids, like and and they 659 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: know that it's actually unfortunately it's part of American history, 660 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: but it must be taught. So it's just like a 661 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: good a feel good story in that sense. But I 662 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: think also, like to your point about like Nazis and stuff, 663 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: I think kids now are just on people now they 664 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: have an ear for dog whistles, Like where before the 665 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,439 Speaker 1: dog whistle only resonated with the dogs you were trying 666 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: to get whose attention you were trying to get because 667 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: it wasn't resonating at that frequency for you to be 668 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: aware of. And I think so many more people now uh, 669 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, and and in some cases to an extreme, 670 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: can be like can just sort of parse through things 671 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: and understand like what's happening. And I think that's probably 672 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: the best defense that we have, is that people just 673 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: general awareness of like what discrimination looks like in most 674 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: of its forms, that it's like hard to sort of 675 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: like give it like a very you know, innocuous or 676 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: euphemistic name of a bill or something and hope that 677 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: no one notices. Right. I'm so blown away by the 678 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: idea that learning about racist history is going to make 679 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: people feel guilty. Like it might be my ego talking, 680 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: but I'm like, I read about horrible racist white people 681 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: in the past, I'm like, oh, thank God, I'm not 682 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: like them, you know, it makes me kind of feel 683 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: better about myself right away. They're good, there's a baseline 684 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: at least, okay, doing better better, all right, I'm yeah, 685 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm not Nathaniel Bedford Forest good. That's a start. We 686 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: just like about this guy, uh, Governor Morris. We did 687 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 1: an episode about him, and he was this very very 688 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: anti slavery founding father that we'd never heard of before. 689 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: And you know, we're my wife and I talking about 690 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: our public education and not having been taught about this 691 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: guy and wondering why he was so buried, and you know, 692 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: it's like because he makes everybody else look bad. But 693 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,479 Speaker 1: I think in not studying these things, we also lose 694 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: out on learning about cool people like that who were 695 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: doing the right thing right, that there was someone standing 696 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,959 Speaker 1: up to them during the founding of the country, because 697 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: before you thought it was that he we Love America 698 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: signed by And also, like the way you're taught history. 699 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 1: I remember I like, when I was very young, I 700 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: didn't think slavery existed until the Civil War, right right, 701 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like that it was like 702 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: a like it became a problem and like there weren't 703 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: slaves during the their Wait what Okay, I didn't realize that. 704 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: I mean, like, so it's funny how even how like 705 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: when slavery is even introduced to school kids, like in 706 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: a textbook, it's almost like it's almost treating it in 707 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: a vacuum. It's like, and then there was the Civil 708 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: War because slavery happened that one day. Yeah, yeah, they 709 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: were trying to do a slavery and they the good 710 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: guys fought them off, like the Avengers and one right, 711 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: and they'll they'll tell you, well, it was the times. 712 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 1: That's how people just were. They didn't know any better. 713 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: And then you learn that all these people did know 714 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: better and said, hey, this is bad, and Thomas Jefferson 715 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: and everyone said no to that. So yeah, very clear. 716 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: That wasn't a scene in Hamilton's, wasn't They left that 717 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: one out? Hey, y'all trip it about slavery? Uh right, 718 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 1: Like like they literally leave it unspoken. He's like, we 719 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: know who's doing the planting. It's just like, oh, that's 720 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: actually not good enough. Oh moment, I'm sorry. The bar 721 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: is too low for that. All right, let's take a 722 00:41:48,880 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back. 723 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: And according to the National Retail Federation. That sounds like 724 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: a fucking like the name of our government in twenty 725 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: years exactly. Yeah, this is the party that we're all 726 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: voting for in twenty years. I'm voting for the National 727 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: Retail Federation. I'm gonna say it sounds it sounds like 728 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: those guys from the Fan of Menace. Who oh yeah, 729 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: the Trade Federation. Yeah, like creepy Asian aliens. That was 730 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: that racist? Yeah, no, let's just ignore that. Love the 731 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: prequels and ignore all that stuff. Yeah for sure, I'm 732 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: a prequel kid. What are you talking about? Um? But yeah, yeah, 733 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: it sounds like we're gonna we're gonna be run by 734 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: the Trade Federation in thirty years. Yeah. So they're saying, 735 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: and this feels a little bit bold to me. They're 736 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: saying one is going to be a record breaking year 737 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 1: for Halloween spending. I feel like any pretty chin on 738 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: like behavior that's that far in the future, it just 739 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: seems a little uh cavalier based on like what we've 740 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 1: just lived through. Like ma, but I would say, if 741 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 1: you would use a folk if you were to take 742 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,919 Speaker 1: a focus to group that is just me, I would 743 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: say that you're like, I love this, it's actually gonna 744 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: be triple last year. Well, this is the thing that 745 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: they're looking at, right, because they said when the CDC 746 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: last year was like, do not do Halloween, assholes, do 747 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: not do it. Please, for the love of everything that's holy, 748 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: Just fucking don't nobody listened. People still spend over eight 749 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: billion dollars this year. They're saying it's gonna be over 750 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: ten billion dollars when it comes to costumes, decoration, candy, 751 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: and they say pet costumes even more. That's the ship 752 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: that's really on the come up is pet costumes. So 753 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: a lot of this spending, a bulk of it three 754 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: point three billion, is going to go to costumes. That's 755 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: twenty seven percent more than last year. And then and 756 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: that's like, you know, like the last time it was 757 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: like spending was that that level is tween and then 758 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: three billion on candy, another three that they think is 759 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 1: going to be on decorations. And I know we've seen 760 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: people lose their ship over the twelve foot skeleton, you know, 761 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: like I've for like an entire year. We know people 762 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 1: that have been up to Brandy Posey I'm looking at 763 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: you who have been just cannot stop thinking about this 764 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 1: twelve foot skeleton. So you know they're saying like that 765 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: on top of the kids costumes, they just see it 766 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: going up and up and up, but they're really the 767 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: pet costume thing is experiencing a lot of growth. And 768 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: that might make sense if people who actually kept their 769 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: adopted pets from the pandemic, you know, that they would 770 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: be dressing up their pets. Because for me, I don't 771 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: really buy, I don't really dress up, but my partner 772 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 1: and I we like to find shift for our dog. 773 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: That's that is fun. Yeh, I can, I can definitely. 774 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, I see that part of the spending. I've 775 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 1: already got a little tune squad jersey for my dog, 776 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: and that's just like that's just the start it. What's 777 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: your what? Which jersey? Is just generic tunes? Character, it's 778 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: just generic tunes. Now, they didn't make like a specific 779 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: like bugs Bunny like Michael Jordan's wte Oh that's amazing. Yeah, 780 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I mean, I'm it seems like 781 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 1: a combination of like because the summer was shitty, and 782 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: we do have vaccines, so people are going to feel 783 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more you know, lively. Yeah for Halloween. 784 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: Plus you can do this ship outside. A trick or 785 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 1: treating does take place outside, and I feel like to 786 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,879 Speaker 1: get into it, it's like you're not you can really 787 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: just decorate the exterior of where you live and still 788 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: kind of like get you know, express yourself like that 789 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: rather than like coming inside and seeing all this other 790 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,879 Speaker 1: spooky ship that you have set up. But I don't 791 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 1: know what what's your what's your take here done? I think, 792 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean my honest feeling is I think the reason 793 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: like Halloween will be big this year and why it's 794 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 1: kind of just like spooky season has been growing in 795 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: popularity and like recent years, is is kind of like 796 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: tied to the fact that we all feel like we're 797 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,320 Speaker 1: gonna die. We're all gonna die like in that like 798 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: even before pandemic times, like you know, sucking global warming 799 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: and all this, like we just feel very close to 800 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,359 Speaker 1: the brink. And I true believe that, like Halloween, it's 801 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: like this little release valve every year we where we 802 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: all kind of like get to collectively like laugh and 803 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: have fun with death. So it makes sense to me 804 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: that it has just been you know, I I feel 805 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: like in the last I mean, I've always been kind 806 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: of like a big Halloween fan. But I just feel 807 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: like in the last like five to ten years and 808 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: just seen a huge blow up online of people who 809 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: are like I'm horror and I'm a horror influencer.

There's There was another weird stating here 821 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: that said six of adults surveyed had already picked out 822 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,399 Speaker 1: their costume for this year. It's like picked it out, 823 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,479 Speaker 1: like put it together or just like decided what they're said. Okay, 824 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: if they've already picked out, like not to say that 825 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: it's been purchased, but they know what they are going 826 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: from or how they're going to dress up, which is wild. 827 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: To me, I'm I'm definitely an outlier when it comes 828 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: to Halloween.
