00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah, so,

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: without further ado, here is the Weekly.

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: We are three to be joined in the third seed

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: by a very talented human being. I gotta say, I

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: don't know what this person doesn't do, but I'll tell

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: you what they are doing right now. They got a

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: single coming now August eighth, okay, because because music runs

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: through their blood. Also, they got a film that's crushing

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: the festival circuit right now, and we want to get

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: into that a little bit later. And also a podcast

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: called trust Me talking about cults and extreme beliefs, which

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: kind of that kind of intersects with today's topic given

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: all the Trump stuff going on. So please welcome to

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: the microphone, Lola.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me.

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: Real singer. We got a real singer. Drop hand, drop

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: some Lola. Yeah, what's your what's your favorite karaoke check?

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: You know, I never do karaoke because I feel too

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: awkward because people are like, oh, she's a real singer,

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: and the expectations are too high. And I also don't drink,

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: so I can't like wile out, you know what I mean.

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: But when I'm by myself, it's torn by Natalie and Brulia.

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Wow, hell yeah, faith so good ring. Like when people

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: don't respect that part, you know what I mean, I

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: get a little upset, you know what I mean? Yeah,

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 2: I like though that you were like you're a kind

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: god too, where You're like, let me not just ether

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: the whole party right now with my pipe, so I

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: will just sit back and say, no, that was great,

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: that was great. I'm not singing today, don't worry about No.

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: I'm not even that kind of singer, you know, Like

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: I can't belt like other people can belt. I feel

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: like my musical theater friends, they're better at karaoke you

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: than me. I'm like, I'm good to singing my songs.

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, all right, let me let

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: me give you some Let me give you a track

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: next time you go to karaoke. You don't have to sing,

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 4: just do stand by eminem or something that's good. You

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: know you can also, but you can sing the little

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: you can sing a little part, you know, just.

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: You do the rap.

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: Me you gotta do the fourth verse, like you know

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: you gotta do the fourth verse.

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: All right, I'm on it.

47
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Who are your like, who are your favorite kind of

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: like because if you're not a powerhouse singers, who are

49
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: your sort of like softer voice vocalists that you that

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,279
Speaker 2: you kind of put your pantheon of great singers?

51
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: Well I don't I feel like great singers. It just

52
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: depends on what kind of thing you're talking about. But

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: I love Fiona Apple. Oh yeah, I love like an angsty, throaty,

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: like kind of fucked up sounding voice.

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: Say right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, only but only

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: when we talk about I said, I started the podcast

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: with what up niggas? You can say? That would be wild.

58
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: I was like, hold on, no, no, no, we're not doing that.

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on now, this is PG thirteen over here.

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah on a Apple. Yeah, fetch the bolt Cutters. Great one,

61
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 2: that's the bull Cutters.

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: You know it's so good?

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? Who else?

64
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: I mean?

65
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 2: I love?

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: I love like classic jazz singers, so I love like

67
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: Ela Fitzgerald.

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: And okay, oh classing up to join it.

69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: But also, you know, I'm getting really into this new

70
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 3: Norwegian singer. But you know that that will come later

71
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: when you asked me about the media I've been.

72
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic. Was it reminiscent like I'm trying to think, well,

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: who's the last big Scandinavian singer? I remember like Leaky

74
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: Lee back, like.

75
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: For I Love Lee. Yeah, I know, it's crazy how

76
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: old old that album is now?

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel very old. Yeah, and I was. I

78
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: remember being like I was like I love her voice.

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: It's like effort listeners. Anyway, we're going to get into

80
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: that and plenty more of a First, we'd like to

81
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: ask our guest, which is low Lablanc, what is something

82
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: from your search history that's revealing about you know, some

83
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: reveal something about who you are, what you're interested in.

84
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: So I was looking at my most recent search results

85
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: and this morning, the last one was observed particle theory.

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: Okay, oh okay.

87
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: You know that and I And it's actually something I

88
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: don't know that much about yet, so that's why I

89
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: was googling it. But it's that thing in quantum physics

90
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: where the particles behavior changed upon observation. Yes, so a

91
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: lot of people who a lot of people reference that

92
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: as like we don't know, there's so much that we

93
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: don't know yet. There's so much that like maybe science

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: has no idea, like there isn't evidence for it yet,

95
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: but there will be eventually. Anyway, I just was very

96
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: curious about that little rabbit hole.

97
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, going down. Okay, So what kind of shit are

98
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: you into? Lola? You're like, you're like, oh my man,

99
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: because you know, I like the idea that just the

100
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: mere observation affects these particles.

101
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, say this is the smart this is the most

102
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: educational smartest like search and I've heard everybody else will

103
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: be up here like, oh man, I was up here

104
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 4: searching about you know how quick your toenails?

105
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: Were you up here? Like let's talk about quantum fits

106
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: but I.

107
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: Don't know about it yet. I don't know about it yet.

108
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: That's are you Is any of this due to any

109
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: of the hearings about UAPs and non non human intelligence?

110
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: Does that intersect at all with any of this or how?

111
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: We're like, you're into this kind of shit, You're into

112
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: quantum physics, quantum mechanics. What what do you make of

113
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: all of the U A u AP shit going on?

114
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: I mean, like.

115
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: I'm a science bay, so like I'm just kind of

116
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: waiting to see what happens, Like I feel like one

117
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: guy saying stuff is not really enough evidence. But I'm

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: really excited to see what more comes of it, because

119
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: open I'm on that alien shit, you know, Like I'm

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: really excited about the US thing. But yeah, I'm just

121
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: like I'm someone who's like trying to figure it all

122
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: out all the time and figure out like what we

123
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: have evidence for what we don't have it evidence evidence for,

124
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 3: And I'm just trying not to buy into like the

125
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: first thing that people tell me, So I'm just googling

126
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: what we have evidence for.

127
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: Does that have to do with just sort of your

128
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: upbringing and life of being just a little like not

129
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: taking people at their word when they say things are

130
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: one way?

131
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 3: I think absolutely?

132
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, yeah, I'm sure we'll get

133
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: into that too. Okay, this is going to be therapy lowly,

134
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: but yes, shout out, shout out all my alien fans

135
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: who are going to go to the First Interstate Bank

136
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: formerly First Interstate Bank building in Los Angeles to welcome

137
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 2: the aliens, you know what I mean, and they put

138
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: that blue light on us and then vaporize us. I'm excited. Yeah,

139
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: what's what's something you think is overrated.

140
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 5: I was thinking a lot about like aunties, but I

141
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 5: don't know if aunties are overrated as much as the

142
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 5: way that we talk about Auntie's is overrated.

143
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: I think we're in the generation definition of aunties.

144
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: Yes, right, So like the Auntie. So my art Haer

145
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 5: revolves around like this idea. It was actually inspired by

146
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 5: a hate crime incident that happened in twenty sixteen where

147
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 5: two Muslim women were kicked off of the plane for

148
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 5: staring too hard, and the flight attendants were like, we

149
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 5: didn't like how they were looking at us, so we

150
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 5: kicked them off of the plane. And that's what inspired

151
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 5: my series on aunties with Deddley Stairs. And I don't know,

152
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: I think that part, like aunties are just out there

153
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: to get you is kind of like like like me

154
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: making the art was like re re taking the power

155
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 5: the Auntie has, Like yeah, of course aunties are gonna

156
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 5: stare at you like that. That's what they do. This

157
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: is like an Auntie's stare is a terrorist act, which

158
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 5: what are you gonna do about it?

159
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

160
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: That's how we aunties.

161
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: Are and now and you are.

162
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: And just for those who are not familiar with the

163
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: auntie term is not like your mom or dad's like sister,

164
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: that's not the auntie you're talking about that.

165
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: Women, Yes, an.

166
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: Dating, I'm dating a I'm dating Andy. And lady right

167
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: now is she and like I have been schooled on

168
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: all her aunties and all.

169
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful thing culture.

170
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 5: This one white lady came up to me at the

171
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 5: art show and she's like, oh, so this happened to

172
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: your aunt. I was like, no, at the universal end,

173
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: I'm on now.

174
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a problem people have, Like in

175
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: black culture, auntie that's not doesn't have to be a

176
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: thing to be a literal aunt Sometimes it's like your

177
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: mom's best friend and that's just like auntie. Yeah. Even

178
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: uncle or cousins exactly family. So many people are my

179
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: cousins that are not my cousin. Yeah, that's just what

180
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: it is. And I think in America sometimes it's it's

181
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: viewed a little bit more rigid, but that they're like,

182
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: well they hear it. They're like, so this is a

183
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: sibling of one of your parents, bro, I have.

184
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: Like I last year I went to my cousin's like

185
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 4: the whole family descends. My actual cousin and the whole family,

186
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: but my actual cousin, my actual cousins, the whole family

187
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 4: descended on to Vegas for my cousin's graduate waiting from

188
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: med school, and we were like out and like my

189
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: younger cousin who's now in like her early twenties or whatever.

190
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: So I was there where she was born. Literally I

191
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 4: was when she was born, and and we were like out,

192
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: like having a drink, having a smoke, and she like

193
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: turned to me and she was like, Jackie's are you

194
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 4: our real cousin or like.

195
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: Who are your related?

196
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: And I'm like, girl, our parents are first cousins. Yes,

197
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: we are as real cousins. But like it's so like

198
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: ingrained that like you can but because we're family, but

199
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: it's so ingrained that like you can't be related by

200
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: blood or not, but you still has his uncle's Auntie's

201
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: like yeah, beautiful, the.

202
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: Same level of closeness that you don't really examine half

203
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: the time, especially when you like lit like you come

204
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: up with these people all the time. It's just it

205
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: is what it is. What is uh, what's something you

206
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: think is underrated? You know.

207
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 6: I've been thinking a lot recently about David grab who

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 6: died in during the pandemic and is one of my

209
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 6: favorite writers and thinkers, and I think he's really underrated.

210
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 6: A lot of people in mainstream US society don't know

211
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 6: about David Graeber, who wasn't professor at Yale, and he

212
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 6: was sort of forced out of Yale for being too

213
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 6: progressive and ended up teaching in the UK in London

214
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 6: for the rest of his career. And you know, if

215
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 6: I had to recommend one thing, super fun, short, amazing

216
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 6: book called Utopia of Rules, which you can even read

217
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 6: for free online. It's an incredible introduction into so many

218
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 6: things about our society. Has everything in it, from a

219
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 6: critique of the Batman movies, superheroes generally, to a critique

220
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 6: of bureaucracy and capitalism and really great thoughts and ideas

221
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 6: about how we live our lives. It's just an incredible

222
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 6: and a brilliant book. He was one of the leading

223
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 6: anthropologists in the world, but he used those anthropology skills

224
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 6: to really turn his eye toward analyzing some of the

225
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 6: ways in which our society is actually incredibly violent. Was

226
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 6: also really interested in the concept of play, and he

227
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 6: was a big opponent and that people should be working

228
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 6: less and playing a lot more. And so he has

229
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 6: other great essays, for example, on why it is that

230
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 6: the police hate puppets. He has really great work on

231
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 6: why it is that animals really love to play and

232
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 6: why modern society is crushing the spirit of play and people.

233
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 6: And so I think it's a really beautiful, funny, uplifting,

234
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 6: but also very intelligent set of writing. So David Graeber

235
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 6: is something I recommend is underrated.

236
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's one of my favorites. I talk about him

237
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 7: a lot on the show. The Dawn of Everything is

238
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 7: so great. Bullshit jobs we talked about a lot on

239
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 7: the show. But yeah, the way The Dawn of Everything

240
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 7: uses anthropology to like dig into like that there was

241
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 7: that myth that like, well, even though like there are

242
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 7: problems with modern society, you like Pinker's whole narrative that

243
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 7: like when you look before colonialism, things were a lot

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 7: worse and like everybody was way more violent, and he

245
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 7: just like demolishes that and it's like, actually, like we're

246
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 7: way way worse than those And then like takes you

247
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 7: through some of the ways that civilizations that you don't

248
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 7: learn about in generally in American educational systems, organize themselves

249
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 7: and like really interested in some like indigenous communities and

250
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 7: valued these things that have been completely written out of

251
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 7: our society. And again like really makes you see some

252
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 7: of the assumptions that I think a lot of us

253
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 7: take for granted on a day to day basis about

254
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 7: the world we live in again with fresh eyes. It

255
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 7: makes them kind of stick out to you as being

256
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 7: as weird as.

257
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: They should seem to you. Why do police hate puppets?

258
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 7: I actually I've never read, so I'm going to immediately

259
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 7: act on this underrated.

260
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: And read Utopia of Rules.

261
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 7: I've read, you know, Bullshit Jobs and History of Debt

262
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 7: and The Dawn of Everything, but I never read Utopia

263
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 7: of Rules.

264
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 6: Of those books, I think you told me Rules is

265
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 6: my favorite. I think it's his best, most concise work.

266
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 6: So I think you're in for a treat. And the

267
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 6: other essay you can read for free online is called

268
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 6: on the Feminology of Giant Puppet Puppets, and it's a

269
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 6: sort of a It has a lot of pictures in it.

270
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 6: It's about sort of the protest culture of the early

271
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 6: two thousands and why police always target puppets when they

272
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 6: go to protests and why they always try to destroy

273
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 6: puppets and why police officers are so infuriated by my puppets.

274
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 6: And I don't want to give too much away, but

275
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 6: it's also a great essay.

276
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, Well we're going to take a break.

277
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 7: I'm going to go read that and we'll come back

278
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 7: in like three hours with our puppet continue talking about puppets. Now,

279
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 7: we're going to take a quick break, and then we're

280
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 7: gonna dig in to some of your work and.

281
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: Specifically the book Usual Cruelty. So we'll be right back,

282
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: and we're back. I guess, look, all jokes aside, we

283
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: should talk about Donald Trump from getting indicted for a

284
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: third motherfucking time, the hat trick of indictments. He's done it.

285
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: While I think this is all relates to the you know,

286
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: overturning of the election in twenty twenty and January sixth,

287
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: all that wild fun stuff. And I think again, for

288
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: most people, we saw that play out in real time,

289
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: Like we saw him continually begin to, you know, ramp

290
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: up the rhetoric around the stolen election. We saw evidence

291
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: of him, you know, leaning on people in a fake

292
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: elector scheme, telling Mike Pence to fucking you know, delay

293
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: the certification of the election. We all saw it, but

294
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: now we're at the point where it's been articulating an indictment,

295
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's interesting to watch. Basically Fox News and

296
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: all the right wing news outlets just fully melt down

297
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: with what apparently they are saying. The stakes are. Jesse

298
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: Waters on The Five called it political germ warfare and said,

299
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: if it goes to trial, we'll have to quote go

300
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: back and find fraud the twenty twenty election. I'm sure

301
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: they would love to do that because he did such

302
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: a good job the first time showing that all happened.

303
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: And then Greg Guttfeld on the same show, he was

304
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: so out of it he just held up like doodles.

305
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: He was just holding up doodles of like dudes and hats,

306
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure like what that exactly. The point

307
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: of that was kat Abu, who's on Twitter who does

308
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: a lot of like monitoring of Fox News segments, put

309
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: together just kind of like this mixtape of the reaction

310
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: to the third indictment on Fox News, and I just

311
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: want to the it's they're ramping it up, the rhetoric

312
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: is getting ramped up. I'll play a little bit of it.

313
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: It's very dramatic, but this is kind of how Fox

314
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: News is talking about everything.

315
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 8: The gol equivalent of the French guilletant, a political war, Crome,

316
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 8: a junk indictment, the shredding of our constitution.

317
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: They're going full Banana Republic, full third world on this

318
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: third World Banana Republic, full Banana Republic. Hell yeah, just

319
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: so you know, we've gone full.

320
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: Republic.

321
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I'm going full j crew. They got

322
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: the memoir at the beginning of the day.

323
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, all right, everybody, the word of the day

324
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: is Banana Republic.

325
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's gone full third World. And yeah, we

326
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: saw Stephen Miller was saying that this is the legal

327
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: equivalent of the French kiity during the reign of Terror.

328
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And then we had Laura Trump come

329
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: on to defend her father in law, which just basically said, quote,

330
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: he did exactly what you would want a president to do,

331
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: following an other words. Okay, okay, yeah, he did. He

332
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: did leave office, yeah, exactly. Yeah. But then it was wild.

333
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: Somebody pointed out that she was apparently she was live

334
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: on Fox and Newsmax at the same damn time somehow,

335
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: and with different outfits on, and somebody sorters like, I'm sorry,

336
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: who the fuck is lying about being live right now?

337
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: Because there's no way you're live on Newsmax and Fox

338
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: News with different fucking outfits on. We're still not sure

339
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: what happened there, but again, I think it all speaks

340
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: to the chaos.

341
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you have Jesus magic on your side, you

342
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: can do anything.

343
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, quantum mechanics, depending on observation.

344
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: I affected the particles of her clothing to become something

345
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: else because my vision is also because just to get

346
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: back to that, it's sort of like the idea that

347
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: even the act of looking upon something is affecting like

348
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: the waves around it. Right, Yes, yeah, anyway, shout out

349
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: to Jesus for that. He was talking about that in

350
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: the Bible. And then Newsmax they had Rudy Juliani on,

351
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 2: and my man is just he's he's going bad. He

352
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: sounded not as articulate as he normally does, which is

353
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: not at all. But I'll just play a clip of

354
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: him talking about the real indictment needs to be for

355
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: Jack Smith.

356
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 9: The strange thing here is the people lying, but the

357
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 9: people bringing this and this this count they have here

358
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 9: conspiracy again, right, they should be indicted for conspiracy against

359
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 9: rights for bringing this indictment.

360
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a conspiracy against mister mayor knowing. Okay, cool,

361
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah he said that.

362
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 3: So does he seem especially old all of a sudden,

363
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: I feel like talking about drunk he drinks.

364
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: He's his last In the last year and a half

365
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: of that administration, he was definitely having some wild ass

366
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: appearances where people were like, I just saw this dude

367
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: drunk his fuck at the cigar bar in Manhattan, and

368
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: then they then you would see him on Fox like

369
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: two hours later, and he's like, oh my god, I

370
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: think again too. He's just a fucking He's a creep.

371
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: So we all love to see him, sir, Yeah, he's

372
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: a creep.

373
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 4: He was drunk enough to literally, as a former politician

374
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 4: on the campaign trail, find himself in a borat movie.

375
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, right, that's like that tells you everything you

376
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: need to know about Rudy right there, Like how dumb?

377
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 2: How dumb? Are you so dumb? Yeah? So you know,

378
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: we have we've heard everybody the First Amendment thing that's

379
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 2: coming up a lot, and and we'll talk about that

380
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: in a second. But then on Brightbart, they implied that

381
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: jack Smith would be seeking the death penalty against Trump.

382
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: It says jack Smith's charged against Trump include potential death penalty. Now,

383
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: why do they say that there's no evidence that that's

384
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: even close to what jack Smith is pursuing. But what

385
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: they're pointing out is that the conspiracy against rights can

386
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: result in the death penalty if quote death results from

387
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: the actions covered under this provision and somebody did die.

388
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: So specifically, the fact that they the fact that they

389
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 4: are saying that the death penalty is an option is

390
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: an admission of guilt to the fact that because.

391
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 2: You know, he caught shit and she did do so,

392
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: therefore people give them the death penalty. And that's what's

393
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: really interesting is watching this sort of cognitive dissonance play

394
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: out in such an extreme way. Already Trump has come

395
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 2: screaming with his two pay in hand asking for cash donations.

396
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: The email he sent this morning quote.

397
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 8: Patriot with Crooked Joe's corrupt doj having unlawfully indicted yours

398
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 8: truly yet again, reports indicate that I can now face

399
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 8: it combined five hundred and sixty one years in prison

400
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 8: from the left witch hunt. That's six lifetimes there's only

401
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 8: one message, and he goes on and on.

402
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: It's like a long ranting thing. Yeah you could. I'm

403
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: looking at five hundred and sixty one years. I'm like, sir,

404
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm mooting every year. Yeah. But he goes

405
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: on and be like, he's like, will you help me

406
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: fight this Marxist government. You're like, this ain't no Marxist government.

407
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: If you did, people, never mind, I wish you were theory. Yeah,

408
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: it's like, bring the Marxist aliens, now, solve this. But yeah,

409
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: so he's begging. And the main thing we're seeing right

410
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: now is the Maga pundits are all kind of saying

411
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: that this is some version of his First Amendment rights

412
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: being violated. That's the sort of logic that they want

413
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: to pursue. They're saying he was merely exercising his First

414
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: Amendment rights by saying these things out loud. And now

415
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: they're saying it's a crime because he didn't believe that

416
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: the election was rightfully won by Joe Biden. And again

417
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: they're trying to just create some kind of logic out

418
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: of this indictment that doesn't acknowledge that Trump was doing

419
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: all kinds of shit not just shit. He was saying

420
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: out of his mouth that his actions are also part

421
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: of a quote larger conspiracy to subvert the election in

422
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: the will of voters and undermine, you know, people's right

423
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: to vote. So and the part of this indictment sort

424
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: of makes that clear. Quote the purpose of the conspiracy

425
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: was to overturn the legitimate results of the twenty twenty

426
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: presidential election by using knowingly false claims of election to

427
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 2: obstruct the federal government function by which those results are collected, counted,

428
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: and certified. It's not why was he just lying all

429
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: the time? No, we saw it. There was a fake

430
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 2: elector scheme. There was calls to other governors. It's it's

431
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 2: not it's not something where they're like, yeah, it's just bad.

432
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: It's misinformation, is all you guys are trying to put

433
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: him in the buds for. It's just what he thought.

434
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 2: It was just right.

435
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: He wasn't just expressing an opinion.

436
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: M hm yeah, yeah, very clear, very clear. It's very

437
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: It's very.

438
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 4: I I've been on record on this podcast many times

439
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 4: saying that I think anybody that thinks this man is going.

440
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: To jail should not get their hopes up.

441
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 4: You know. I don't think that's what any of this

442
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: is about, is him facing jail time. I mean, he

443
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: should face jail time, but he won't. But I I

444
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 4: do think that we're seeing a very interesting thing that

445
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 4: he is using all these indictments to just line his

446
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: He doesn't care about the presidency. He didn't care about

447
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 4: the presidency the first time, like.

448
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: Jail.

449
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 4: I can't wait for the documentaries to come out, if

450
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: they will. Where like you know, and Miles, I'm sure

451
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 4: you've heard this too, Lola, I'm sure you've heard this.

452
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 10: He was pissed he won the first time. I think

453
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 10: Malania cried, right, isn't that the story? They didn't want

454
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 10: to win, They didn't.

455
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: Think they were winning.

456
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 4: But like you know, and all it's happening all over again.

457
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 4: I I think like the bigger thing that we are

458
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: seeing is we and I don't know if this will

459
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 4: happen in our lifetime.

460
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: Maybe it will.

461
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: Maybe Jen Alpha can help us out, it can save us.

462
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 4: You really need to we need to fix like he

463
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 4: should not be able to run for president when you

464
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 4: are literally under indictment after indictment after indictment, right, Like

465
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 4: that's not like that what that's insane?

466
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: That's insane.

467
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 4: I couldn't get a job in McDonald's if I was

468
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 4: under like multiple indictments, and this man is running for

469
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 4: the highest office, and like we should be able to

470
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 4: change the Supreme Court, just like there's so much shit.

471
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 2: Well, I think it reveals too that, you know, the

472
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: status quo is to be like, yeah, man, if you're

473
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 2: kind of powerful enough, like you're going to break some

474
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: fucking laws, So why are we going to keep that

475
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: from you running for president? But I think this is

476
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: all part of like why we need laws that are

477
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 2: actually robust, that protect voting rights and shit like this,

478
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: where it's just enshrined in law to be like, well,

479
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: you can't even can't even begin to try and test

480
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: the results of an election, at least in this such

481
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: a cynical way.

482
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: People are so convinced that it is actually a witch hunt.

483
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think that Trump is actually convinced

484
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: it's a witch hunt. I don't think his people are,

485
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 3: but I think they've convinced so many of the American

486
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: people that it is. How can you actually achieve any

487
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 3: change when no one can agree on what the reality

488
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: of the situation is. It's all just being like propagandized,

489
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 3: and it's so hard to like figure out how to

490
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 3: fix anything when we don't even agree on the truth.

491
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can get worn down with propaganda. It leads

492
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: to apathy, and that's exactly what they need. And it's

493
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 2: just clearly it's funny too, because you're kind of seeing

494
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: it on the right where they're also like, fuck, man,

495
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: my god, what am I supposed to say about this

496
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: one this time? Like can't we just pretend like if

497
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: we don't think it's bad and then keep moving. But

498
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: there is something really interesting and going on with polling

499
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: or not interesting. Obviously, there are groups of people who

500
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: just don't give a fuck what Trump does, no matter what.

501
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: But it looks like the January sixth case isn't really

502
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: moving the needle that much for independence and Republicans or

503
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: even Democrats, because everyone is already so entrenched in their

504
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: view of what happened that it just feels like a

505
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: rehashing of shit that it's like yeah, I know, like

506
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, okay, we get it, he didn't fucking

507
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: steal election, or yeah, that motherfucker tole the election or

508
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: whatever I or I don't know, but it looks like

509
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: the document's case is actually the thing that has begun

510
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: to like shift poles a little bit. They've Like last

511
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: October it said thirty four percent of independence said that

512
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: a crime had been committed in that case. The latest

513
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 2: pull it grew to forty six percent, because I think

514
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: we just see more new evidence of like hearing him

515
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: on tape saying like talking about documents or learning like

516
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: with new indictments that he was telling people to like,

517
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: you know, vaporize the fucking surveillance camera footage and shit

518
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: like that. And then for Republicans, since last October, the

519
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: percentage of Republicans said they believe that Trump had committed

520
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: a crime handing classified documents rose from nine to twenty five.

521
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: But make no mistake when they follow up with a

522
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: question about, like now, with that effect your support going

523
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 2: into election, they said, if the fucking election was today,

524
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 2: I'd be fucking wearing my maga hat. I don't care

525
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: if that happened. So it's very very cult vibes. We

526
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: always talk about that of just truly, I will not

527
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: There's no information that you can show me that will

528
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: change my mind because I'm all in on this perspective.

529
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Unfortunately, that is just kind of

530
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 4: the case or where we are today as an entire

531
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 4: society and country where the elections have become very much

532
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 4: that you know, and we're seeing it a lot on

533
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: the Maga side obviously, but you know it happens on

534
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: the left as well, where it is like, you know,

535
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 4: where we're not. We are not in a place now

536
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 4: where we are, and it's for a lot of reasons.

537
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: And I'm not blaming like us as a collective society.

538
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 4: I'm blaming the people who are in power that have

539
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 4: kind of led us to this, and also just the

540
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 4: world we live in with social media and things like that.

541
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 4: But you know, we're not in a place where we

542
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 4: are actively like picking the best choices, or we are

543
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 4: actively like like debates don't mean anything, or you know,

544
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 4: like these things don't mean as much as they used to.

545
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 4: It is a popularity contest in any ways, and it

546
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 4: is a I'm this person on this side, and this

547
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: is what we are, Bernie Brons, we are Maga, we

548
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 4: are Clinton Knights. I don't know if they call them

549
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 4: Clinton Heights or not, but you know, like, you know,

550
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 4: that's kind of where we are, right.

551
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: I think it sucks I think generally we're just from

552
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: the conversation. We're like missing like what we actually want

553
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: as outcomes from our elected officials and what we want

554
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: from the government, because the conversations are usually completely devoid

555
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: of like sort of what speaks to people on a

556
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: human level. Like there's a lot of policy talk and

557
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: things like that, and you see people sort of like

558
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: make appeals to like these sort of like populous talking points,

559
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: but just in general, like people to each other, aren't

560
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: it's harder for people to say, like, these are the

561
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: kinds of policies that would really help my life because

562
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: we also have a there's such a for the perception

563
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: of the government is like, I don't know, they do

564
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: shit that helps sometimes kind of, so what's the point

565
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: of fucking paying attention because my life really doesn't change,

566
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: And that's a huge chunk of people that are really

567
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: disconnected from like the ills that our current governmental system is,

568
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: you know, raining down on people. So there's a lot, Yeah,

569
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of things to battle.

570
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: It's just so hard to keep your focus on even

571
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: the issues that do really matter, because it feels like

572
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: there's so much on fire all the time at once

573
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 3: and everybody is like buying for your attention for the

574
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: issue that's like you know, viral that week or whatever.

575
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: Like climate change is the most important issue to me,

576
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: But do I forget about it constantly one hundred percent

577
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: because there's so much else that's like, ah, but that's urgent,

578
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: that's that's curtain. I feel like it's it's really a

579
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: hard time to be a politician who you know, maybe

580
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: does have something substantive to offer, because it's just like

581
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: a race for the virality or whatever.

582
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, we miss out.

583
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 4: I also think too because because of that, and you know,

584
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 4: this is not good either that for like some of

585
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: the politicians that actually have something that they are fighting

586
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: for and things like that. We have become such a

587
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: society where like one thing can change that which and

588
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 4: sometimes is a very good thing. And sometimes it's just like, well,

589
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 4: you know, let's actually allow a person to progress and

590
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: grow like as they grow and progress.

591
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: You know, and we don't.

592
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 4: We don't do that as much as we should on

593
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 4: like our side, you know.

594
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's a culture of an expectation of purity

595
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: and perception that I think is really detrimental to organizing

596
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: in general.

597
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: MM hmm, yeah. I think. You know, there's a vote

598
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: blue no matter who crowd, there's the Maga crowd, and

599
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, you try and get people to understand that

600
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: it's the stakes aren't just if Joe Biden isn't president.

601
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: It's everything that comes along with that, That in the

602
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: and the tragedies and the horrors that people are experiencing

603
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: even now with Joe Biden as president. That are societal

604
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: issues that we refuse to actually grapple with so until

605
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: we can, I mean not until But the discourse is

606
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: so centered around just anything but real substance of policy.

607
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: Like everyone's talking about Bidenomics right now, and I like,

608
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's like it's a three pillar thing about

609
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: what Bidenomics is. But ask any person who is not

610
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: interested in policy what they if they give a fuck

611
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: about Bidenomics. They're gonna say fucking no. They'll say, I

612
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: don't know. Inflation is still fucked up. I mean, I

613
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: guess it's going down, like gas isn't as high, but

614
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: like there's still all these other costs of living things

615
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: that are not being addressed. But every day they just

616
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: point to things like look at the unemployment numbers, and

617
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: it's such a different metric than what people's lived, day

618
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: to day experiences are. So yeah, we will see where

619
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: this goes. Again, I am just like with the aliens,

620
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll believe it when I see Trump in

621
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: court and he can't do his comb over, you know,

622
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: like the way he normally does, and we get to

623
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: see that kind of weird hair do that he got going.

624
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: Until then, you know, I just feel like, well, I'll

625
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: believe it when I see it, because you know, there's

626
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: the already debate about like is this even a strong

627
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: case against him, Like what the fuck are we doing? Then?

628
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: But he'd at the very least not like in his

629
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: document's case. The judge that is assigned to this case,

630
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: it was a you know, as an Obama point who

631
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: apparently has been going the hardest at January sixth insurrectionists.

632
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: So for every judge Eileen Cannon, there are other judges

633
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: who are kind of like, yeah, no, I'm not really

634
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: here to fuck around with this case. All right, let's

635
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: take a quick break. We gonna be right back to

636
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: talk about blue checks and barbies after yes, and we're back,

637
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: and buckle up, folks, It's time for us to take

638
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: a deep dive into the world of the internets and

639
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: be utterly confused. I will admit before anybody, as a

640
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: geriatric MILLENNI I'm not sure what the fuck is going on,

641
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: but I do know this. For the last few years,

642
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: I have thoroughly enjoyed the absolute roasting of millennial culture

643
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: from gen Z. It's mostly on point, and at times

644
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: it's fucking transcendent. It's eye opening to be seen through

645
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: the younger generation's eyes about like, what the fuck is

646
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: wrong with these people? Some millennials to get a little hard,

647
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: you know, as it was a reminder to us that

648
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: it was no longer two thousand and six and we

649
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: when we were the cool kids out there with our

650
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: weird ass outfits. Like I say, yes, as right as

651
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: you are.

652
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: The other half of me was also like, oh wait, yeah,

653
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 4: just fucking wait.

654
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: They're like, we don't have the internet to cook gen X,

655
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: Like I'm sure we could have. Like yeah, I mean

656
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 2: now we do it retrospectively, but yeah, I was like,

657
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: time does come for you as well, time is coming

658
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: for you too. And guess what we have arrived there

659
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: Generation Alpha, which is the kids born between like twenty

660
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 2: eleven and now they are sending gen z some of

661
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: them into an existential panic. Uh and like say that

662
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: light heartily based on the commentary around this meme, this

663

690
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: have people with surveillance cameras on their heads. There are

691
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: people with TVs on their heads, and they fight in

692
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,600

Speaker 2: I know.

696
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: I don't think we've I think we've reached a point

697
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 4: where the generations that are born like jen A and

698
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 4: or Alf for whatever you want to call them, and

699
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: generations that are going to be born after that, we've

700
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 4: reached a point where their brains are born broken because

701
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 4: they're on screens as soon as they are fucking born.

702
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 4: Like it's like I like, I know there is a

703
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,440

Speaker 4: at you pull a phone out, they know how to

707
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 4: look at it. They can fellow with there. It's like

708
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: they are and I'm saying this likeheartedly that their brains

709
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: are broken, but like.

710
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: It's different, different reality for sure. I want to play this.

711
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: So somebody one of these people who have like a

712
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: younger jen alpha sibling, they posted on TikTok of being

713
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: like just like hey can can like their little brother.

714
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: They're like, can you break down the skivity toilet?

715
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 6: Mean?

716
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: For me, this kid is like nine years old, and

717
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's I can't even follow what this

718
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: kid is saying. That's what's so frustrating about it, I

719
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: think for other people.

720
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 11: Okay, wait, so, like why are skibbity toilets and cameramen

721
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 11: in the war.

722
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: Because because after.

723
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 10: Before they saw each other like what we got to

724
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 10: take over the city.

725
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: Oh okay, the skivities were all of them, the skivvyes.

726
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 4: Okay, so the skibbities are trying to take over the

727
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 4: city and the camera men don't like that.

728
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: Yes, so the cameraman are trying to save this city.

729
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 2: U mm hmm.

730
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 5: Oh so We're talking about two different peoples.

731
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: Like the camera, the camera heads, the TV heads they

732
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 2: got the wine. Then there's the Skibbity toilets, which is

733
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: the heads.

734
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 12: That come out to toilets urinals, and they and the

735
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 12: camera people represent like the like Corporate America or like

736
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 12: the bad people in the world going to depo.

737
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 2: Skibbeyes want to take over the city. The skibbety want,

738
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: as this young man said, skivityes take over. But the

739
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: but the TV heads and the camera has fight them

740
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 2: to prevent the takeover of the skibbity toys to.

741
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 4: Fight them, right because yeah, yeah, yeah, And like the

742
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: cameras are on their heads because they see all.

743
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 2: Again that's too much. It feels like again I don't

744
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: know again, like these kids are going to be they're

745
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 2: the most online generation of all time, and I think

746
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: it's just it's probably gonna be one of these things

747
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: where like, even if it doesn't make sense to us,

748
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: the esthetic is probably gonna be what like SpongeBob Simpson's

749
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: memes and shit are to us.

750
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 5: Wait, I have a question, yes in the back, yes,

751
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 5: is this related to Minecraft at all? And how these

752
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 5: kids are all into Minecraft?

753
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: Minecraft off again? Oh Minecraft, I don't know. I mean, yeah,

754
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 2: my nephew plays a fuck out of minecreer.

755
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 5: I talked to a ten year old last night and

756
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 5: she plays Minecraft on the internet with someone else.

757
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: Look as we are washed and old, and if we

758
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: said that to them, they would probably laugh at us.

759
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: And then vabe.

760
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 5: She did laugh at me when I asked that.

761
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 2: Get okay, Oh well, well Victor, well, producer Victor in

762
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: the chat, Victor, what come on, hey, come in here,

763
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: Come in here if you if you're about don't you

764
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: act like you know what's going on?

765
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: Uh?

766
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 2: Sorry for poor audio quality. No, no, producer Victor coming

767
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: through the building. Yes, yes, please yes. Knowledge.

768
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 11: So back in the day, people would use Gary's mod

769
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 11: to mod video games and make little machinemos, which is

770
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 11: just basically making a TV or a movie around video

771
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 11: games essentially. So I think that's what it looks like

772
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 11: here they're making the memes off of it. I'm butchering it,

773
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 11: but I think it might be unreal Engine three. Uh

774
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 11: so there's a software you can where you can screw

775
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 11: around with video game characters, and that's how they're making.

776
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: It and then animate it and do all this. Okay,

777
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: but Victor, Now thank you for the technical part. Well,

778
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: what the fuck is going on, Victor, I don't fucking

779
00:39:54,719 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 2: know this one's new to me to so again like

780
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: we're trying to figure this out, and I get that

781
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 2: this is just sort of what this is. So for

782
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 2: whatever reason, the audio visual aesthetic that they love and

783
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 2: it's just again like going back to this, I just

784
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 2: loved it. The last year, zoomers have laughed at us

785
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 2: from being truegy cringe. You know, we fucking love skinny jeans,

786
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: the charcuterie bars and shit were washed. But they this

787
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 2: is like one tweet from someone, this is hilarious, said

788
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 2: quote I just heard. I just overheard my sister talking

789
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: about how gen Z is old and stupid and how

790
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 2: they don't get their jokes. Hello, I am right here.

791
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 2: I am only fifteen. She was born in twenty thirteen.

792
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 2: Then she asked me if I knew what a skibbitty

793
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 2: toilet was, please help me. What the fuck is this

794
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: skibby toilet? I feel old. Other commenters, like on these

795
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: video have said they already feel quote outdated. Some are

796
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: horrified that they don't understand what this meme is. And

797
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's why I'm like, don't worry, y'all. It's

798
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: just being washed is pretty comfortable at a certain point.

799
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: You know. Hey, listen, man, you know I went to

800
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 2: bad last year. I'm excited for sleep.

801
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: I was so sleepy you couldn't fall asleep because insomnia

802
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 4: eventually did and woke up and was like, my body hurts,

803
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 4: So like you know that that's coming for all of y'all.

804
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Well, you just sleep wrong.

805
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 4: Oh you wake up your whole damn body hurts, and

806
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 4: you gotta get up and walk through the day to

807
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 4: like relieve your pack.

808
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 5: We didn't tell you have to do morning stretches, yea, yeah,

809
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 5: because you can't walk that the morning stretch.

810
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: Hey, don't don't sit on that office seat with your

811
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: ankle tucked under your butt like that which here, which

812
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: you get that it band pain like I did. But yeah, again,

813
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,479
Speaker 2: I just love that. There's also like just this whole

814
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's like lack of acceptance around it,

815
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 2: but I get it, and I and what I tell

816
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 2: them is these kids they're they're they're the oldest ones

817
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 2: are eleven. So gen Z, you're still you're still firmly

818
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 2: in the driver's seat, don't worry. Yeah bad. Yeah, but

819
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: just some stats about jen Alfa, just quick hit off

820
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: the census. This is going to be the most diverse

821
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: your generation ever, which makes sense, I think just subsequently

822
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: that's just what it's going to be, because hey, we're

823
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: gonna be living in a round country soon, baby. Generation

824

00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: million by twenty twenty two billion by twenty twenty five.

826
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,200

Speaker 2: My baby is about to be six months old.

00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 5: How does it feel to have like a baby entering

832
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:25,839
