1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm Manny, I'm Noah, and this is no such thing

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: the show where we settle our dumb arguments and yours

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: by actually doing the research. On today's episode, we are

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: doing a year in review. We're gonna be talking about

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: our favorite movies, music, and news events of twenty twenty four.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: There's no such thing, no such thing.

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Such, thank.

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: Such, thank.

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 4: Such, thank you.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: All Right, last week we were off for Christmas, and

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: we're still kind of in that weird week between Christmas

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: and New Year's where like no one's really doing anything.

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: It's like a this work purgatory, and I think that's

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: being reflected in our episode this week. We promise we'll

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: be back with our regularly formatted episodes. Uh next week,

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: We've got some bangers lined up, so stay tuned for that.

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're doing our year in review. We're talking

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: about our favorite stuff this year. I think we can

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: just start with movies. Noah, what was your favorite movie

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four?

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 5: So I was thinking about this, and there's still a

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 5: few big ones I need to see now that they're

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 5: finally all coming out at once.

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 6: Movies.

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, basically I won't really be able to answer this

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 5: till February probably, but my number one movie, and I'm

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 5: not sure either of you have seen it is Between

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 5: the Temples.

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 6: I have not even heard of this, but it's yeah.

30
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 5: So it's It's with Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane. She's

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 5: an elderly woman trying to get bot mitzvud late in life.

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 5: He's he works at a temple, but he's supposed to

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 5: like lead the songs there, but he he can't sing,

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: and he's dealing with a losing his wife and kind

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 5: of horrible past.

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 7: Missus O'Connor, joh I know you, Ben Gottlieb. Benjamin Gottlieb,

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 7: You're my music teacher. I worked down at the temple Sina.

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 8: I'm a canter.

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: So interesting because I'm in a query.

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: He's well odd canter and so it's kind of an

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: odd couple sort of scenario.

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 7: But it's really funny.

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 5: It's sweet, but at the same time doesn't like pull

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 5: its punches when it comes to kind of some uncomfortable moments.

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 5: I kind of had no expectations going into it. Just

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 5: saw it at BAM on a random day, and.

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 7: I was just so pleasantly surprised by it. And left

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 7: feeling reinvigorated.

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if everyone would be able to connect

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 5: with it as much as me. Maybe, but I would

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 5: recommend it.

52
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: What do you what'd you throw on there? For The Letterbox?

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 5: Now, I'd probably give it pretty high. I think i'd

54
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 5: give it four point five star.

55
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, it's up there an incredible film.

56
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 6: Well, it's your movie in a year. It's gotta be.

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: Oh. Not only not only that I like watching, but

58
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 5: I think I would like watching it again, even if

59
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 5: I watch it tonight, or if I watched it and

60
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 5: I can see myself watching it years from now and

61
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 5: enjoying it, which goes a long way.

62
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 9: I guess we don't want to spoil the The Letterbox

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 9: episode to come, but the fact that made by how

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 9: high your favorite movie of the year, it's pread.

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 7: Out honestly on a rewatch, I might even throw it

66
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 7: a five. We'll see. Wow, I'm opening up my heart

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 7: of it.

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Wow, I gotta see this film. Yeah, I'd be curious

69
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: to hear what you guys think about it and check

70
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: it out. I've got like you'll have to bear with me.

71
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: I've got like my highbrow pick and then my kind

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: of more phone pick. The the high brow one. I

73
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: don't know if you've guys seen Evil does Not Exist.

74
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 6: Mm hmm, yeah.

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: I really liked it so last was that last year

76
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: or two years ago, was driving my car. It's like

77
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: the same director. I thought that one was like, oh,

78
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: like fine, like I enjoyed it. It was super long, obviously,

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: but uh, this time he's got this movie about this

80
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: community basically that's affected by like the construction of like

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: a glamping like social media site, and on the surface,

82
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: that's the plot, but like, underneath that plot, it's it's

83
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: more about, like I don't know, some of the same

84
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: themes of the first the previous one, to human connections

85
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: and like all the little nuanced ways that we affect

86
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: each other's lives, like how the decisions I make might

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: affect Noah or Devin's lives, and how like really considering

88
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: that is important because otherwise we're just robots, or we

89
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: might as well be robots or these like inhuman kind

90
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: of figures. It's streaming on Criterion Channel if you haven't

91
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: seen it yet. But then my kind of like more

92
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: fun pick I really really enjoyed the furios of movie,

93
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: the Mad Max movie, and I was I think it

94
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: might have something to do with going into it with

95
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: like really low expectations because they they did that movie

96
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: a total disservice with the trailer, Like the trailers really

97
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: positioned this film as like this Marvel extended universe situation

98
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: where they're like all these like side characters and cameos

99
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: and stuff. But so I was like, oh, this might suck.

100
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: But I went into it and I thought it was

101
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 1: like really rad and doing a lot of cool things,

102
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: and you've got the classic George Miller like we're gonna

103
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: actually do the action scenes. And I left that movie

104
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: being like damn, like this is what this is what

105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: movies are about. Yeah, I want to leave just like shocked,

106
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: like wow, I can't believe they did that and it

107
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: was and I thought it was incredible.

108
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 6: The question is I have it an you and I

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 6: might get an epic.

110
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: But I will also say I didn't get to the

111
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: movies that much this year. It was it was an

112
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: off year for me. Yeah, like for that to be

113
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: my pick feels a little off. But I gotta go

114
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: see some movies before the before the year ends.

115
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 7: Manny, what would you rate your those two picks?

116
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 6: Oh?

117
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Evil does not exist? You know, it wasn't like kind

118
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: of like mind blowing, but it was like a solid

119
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: three and a half. I think at least I could

120
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: see it being a four if I were like an

121
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: especially mood that.

122
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

123
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 5: I really liked that town hall scene. Yeah, yeah, I

124
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 5: was locked in during.

125
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: That, leaned forward on the couch during that scene. And

126
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: then Furiosa probably a three. Okay, okay, yeah, best movie

127
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: of the year. Three favorite memorable.

128
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: Is already one where I was scrolling through just was

129
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 5: on on cable the other day. That was on and

130
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: I was like sat back for probably fifteen minutes watching

131
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 5: Chris all right, Devin.

132
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're still movies. Uh, you know, obviously it's there's

133
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 9: the big ones of the year. I think guys are

134
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 9: on everyone's list, like the Dune two's Challengers. Those are

135
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 9: probably my two mainstream picks.

136
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 7: My challenges, my big, my big mainstream one.

137
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's it's incredible.

138
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 9: A lot of people have talked about that one, so

139
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 9: I won't waste more talking about it, and we'll talk

140
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 9: about it later, yes on NFT, but I'm gonna go

141
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 9: with a different man.

142
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 6: So this is I don't know, have y'all heard of this.

143
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, number two, that was like on my short list.

144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: I loved it.

145
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 9: So the way I think about it and I think

146
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 9: I put in my letterbox review is like, this is

147
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 9: like if Charlie Kaufman made The Substance. So so the

148
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 9: premise is like this dude he has like a facial

149
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 9: deformity and he can basically goes to like get a

150
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 9: surgery to make his face look quote unquote normal.

151
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 6: But then a lot of things.

152
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 9: I don't want to spoil the movie because it's actually

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 9: very interesting and it's like one of those things that

154
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 9: as little as you know about it going into it,

155
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 9: the better.

156
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 7: Piece of man, Why are.

157
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 10: Remember me? That guy's amazing?

158
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 11: How do you know about who is he?

159
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 10: He's meeting a double like in Australia.

160
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 9: But it's funny because I saw it maybe a day

161
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 9: or two after I saw The Substance, and it felt

162
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 9: like they would make a great like back to back screening,

163
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 9: you know, sort of definitely in the same It's like

164
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 9: a smart, much smarter version of the Substance. It's a

165
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 9: much more layered and it's like I think sometimes you

166
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 9: can be like, this is like a Charlie Kaufman version

167
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 9: of this thing as like an insult.

168
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 6: But I thought this was like a.

169
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 9: Very good coughmin like world where it was like it's layered.

170
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 9: Everything's a little bit off, everyone's a little bit weird,

171
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 9: but it's also like you get the world pretty quickly.

172
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's not too hyper stylized or something where

173
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: it still feels grounded and it yes, even though it

174
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: What was pleasantly surprising to me was it pushed the

175
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 5: story way further than I expected. Yeah, without saying too much,

176
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 5: but yeah.

177
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, what you were you think it's gonna go is

178
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 9: over in like fifteen minutes, but then yeah, you know,

179
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 9: it's like, oh, where are we going to go from here?

180
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 6: The thing has already happened.

181
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: So the two of you do you think it? You

182
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: don't think it necessarily replaces the need for the substance.

183
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: You just know it should be like a back today.

184
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 9: They're different enough, they're very different, like someone This movie

185
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 9: is not as easy of a movie to contumee as

186
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 9: as something like the Substance.

187
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Gotcha. I think if I'm only gonna watch one of

188
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: these movies, you you should.

189
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 6: Watch a different man. If you're only gonna pick.

190
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 9: One, knowing you what the hell does that mean that's

191
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 9: a compliment in this case.

192
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: Knowing you're a dumb ass you got Yeah.

193
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 9: Different, man, I'm saying like, if I had to pick,

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 9: like if you're if you're like between these two movies,

195
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 9: pick something that like a mainstream audience is gonna like,

196
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 9: I'm gonna pick the substance because it's a lot more.

197
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: It's different, Man's more interesting, Yes.

198
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 9: Got but it's also you know, you got to pay

199
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 9: a little bit more attention. It's been more layered. You're

200
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 9: gonna have a bit more questions. You know, probably show

201
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 9: your mom this. I'm gonna show my mom either.

202
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 6: Money is but.

203
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 7: And especially Sam was great. He's he's had a great

204
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 7: turn for me.

205
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm I'm a fan.

206
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, he seems like a seen.

207
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: The Trump movie yet, but I want to. I want

208
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: to see him. You don't need to no shaking his

209
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: head after what they did to my president. So I

210
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: think that might conclude our movies portion of the episode.

211
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: We can move on to music.

212
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 6: Now, Well let's start. Let's start with Manny because.

213
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, yeahs not famously not a music

214
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: listener either, Yeah, uh.

215
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 7: And doesn't listen to music.

216
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 9: So we we all we're the last three people on

217
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 9: earth who still have Apple Music. Yeah, so our well,

218
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 9: I don't even know what they called Apple music year

219
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 9: and review rewind or replay rewind. We usually send it

220
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 9: to the group and every year Manny's numbers get crazier year, Like,

221
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 9: I'm like, I.

222
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 6: Don't even know your numbers are so to be.

223
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 9: Like sixty minutes, yes, like its top listen to the

224
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 9: song of the year, it's like three plays.

225
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 6: I was like, is this correct?

226
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: My top listened to artists? Unsurprisingly was Drake how many?

227
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: I listened to him for one hundred and forty two minutes.

228
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 5: That's that's like the album, Yeah, Scorpion from front to that.

229
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.

230
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 9: I just artist of the Year is Future at sixty

231
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 9: five minutes. There's not a Future album at sixty five

232
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 9: minutes long?

233
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 7: Yes, I mean what do you do? Like, what how

234
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 7: do you hear music?

235
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird when they when they rank it

236
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: that way, because I do, like if I'm at the

237
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: gym or if I'm like at home cleaning or something,

238
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: there is music on, but it's never like I never

239
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: listen into the same thing again, Like it just keeps

240
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: going and going, but just or something yeah, and so

241
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't end up ranking like you'll never see any

242
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: like I never like Heart a song that I really liked.

243
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: So I'm I know. I do know that I listened

244
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: to music way less frequently than the average person. But

245
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: when you look at these ranks, it's like, Okay, I

246
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: did only listen to Drake for one hundred minutes, but

247
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily paint the picture of how often I'm

248
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: listening to music. But speaking of Drake, this is a

249
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: good segue. There was, you know, as we talk about

250
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: our favorite music from this year, our favorite song, even

251
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: there was a very high profile rap beef that happened

252
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: earlier this year, and I don't think that this song

253
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: is necessarily my favorite song of the year, but I

254
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think it gets enough credit. If I

255
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: may be.

256
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 7: Just what I think it's gonna be.

257
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 5: I think so.

258
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: I think by far, the best song that came out

259
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: of that beef was Family Matters, and I think a

260
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: lot more people would agree if Kendrick hadn't been so

261
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: smart to immediately snuff out the hype around it by

262
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: putting by releasing his next song like that that strategy

263
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: around it completely just belittled what the song was. But

264
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: I think when you really go back and listen to it, like.

265
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 9: Barfest song, best song, as in like song you enjoy

266
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 9: listening to, most effective song in the beat.

267
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: It's the most dynamic, It has the best rap bars

268
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: in it.

269
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 12: Hey, kend you just open his mouth? Someone goll hand

270
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 12: him on Grammy? Right now, where Jon put that? Because

271
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 12: I want to tell to the man in the house

272
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 12: West Coast niggas do phase right, kunget this has woo

273
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 12: you want to take over forever? And Kung get his

274
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 12: legacy out of my house.

275
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: It's got all the switch ups, which are fun. There's

276
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: the layers of like how many people he's dissing in

277
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: it as well, which is just like a fun exercise

278
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: to listen to now not like us. Don't get me wrong,

279
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: it's a gigantic song. Obviously, it's been played over and

280
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: over for the entire year, especially in you know, because

281
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: of what he's saying in the song. But and and

282
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: that's part of the genius of the song, is like

283
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: it coming out right after family matters and like no

284
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: one really talks about family matters. Uh, But yeah, I

285
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: challenge any like rap head to like go listen to

286
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: the songs back to back, read the pull up the

287
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: rap genius, read the lyrics. Uh you like that's I

288
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: do think that song is like better quality?

289
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 9: This is this is the this issue before during the

290
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 9: push a T. Drake Beef, where I think you have

291
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 9: a very different understanding of what is a good rap

292
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 9: beef song than I do. Not like Us obviously is the.

293
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Song, yeah, the year period we agree on.

294
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 9: Outside of the Yeah, I get it it's not your favorite,

295
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 9: but you said it's the best song. And like we

296
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 9: also had this conversation around the pusha T Song.

297
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 6: Story of that and on character. Let me keep with

298
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 6: the facts.

299
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 12: You are hiding a child, but then boy come home

300
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 12: did beat motherfucker playing Border Patrol.

301
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 9: And you're like, oh, the song isn't really that good.

302
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 9: But it's like does it like we're not no one

303
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 9: is into a rat beef to be like, I'm you know,

304
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 9: I gotta you know, how structured is my song and

305
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 9: like I gotta make sure that like it's cohesive. But

306
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 9: I think like Us is a better song.

307
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: And that's about it. But here's the thing we're talking,

308
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: like this are two different conversations. Right, We're like, I'm

309
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: acknowledging that we're talking about rat beef. What's more effective

310
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: in a rat beef? That's not like us by a mile.

311
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about you know, here's we get a

312
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: chance in the NST podcast to pick a song that

313
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: we think maybe didn't get enough spotlight. And I do

314
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: think it's a better song. I don't think it means

315
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: he won the beef, clearly, not that was like the

316
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: most lopsided beef in rap history. Maybe, but yeah, I

317
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: think it's just such a I think I listened to

318
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: it the other day. I'm like, god, damn, this guy

319
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: was going crazy on this song and we don't talk

320
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: about it. It's not like us dropped eight minutes later

321
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: and that was it. Anyway, that was my pick. Okay,

322
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: it's a good pick, Devin.

323
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 7: You want to go sure, I don't.

324
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 9: I'm not a huge singles guy. Yeah, I mostly I

325
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 9: mostly listen to albums. So even looking at like my

00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 9: top songs of the year with this Apple Music review,

327
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,320

333
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 9: this year I was listening to a lot of the

334
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,360

341
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 9: kind of crazy. It Also, you know, I saw him

342
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 9: perform that album. He hasn't performed in you know, like

343
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 9: a long time, and I saw him perform the album

344
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 9: the day after the election, which was pretty wild and

345
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 9: kind of a weird headspace after also working for like

346
00:17:54,560 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 9: two days after your president was elected. Uh noah, our

347

350
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 9: this man performs and it's I don't know, I just

351
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 9: felt like this year too, I saw a lot of

352
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 9: concerts that I was just sort of like that was fine.

353
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was curious if you had to hear a

354
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 5: concert as sincere probably the most the biggest live music

355
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 5: ahead of all of us.

356
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 6: Definitely, I don't just I don't know.

357
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 9: I feel like there's a lot of artists right now

358
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 9: who are just showing up and playing songs, which is fine,

359
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 9: but I like, I like to see an artist where

360
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 9: you're like, I don't know if this person is going

361
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 9: to finish this concert. You know, like they're going through it,

362
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 9: like they're going through the elections of when I recorded

363
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 9: the first time. And I've seen that man play big

364
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 9: spaces in like very small spaces and he always performs

365
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 9: as if it's like Madison Square Guard and you know,

366
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 9: body on the Line sort of stuff, and it's nice

367
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 9: to see. It's like, yeah, that's why I showed up.

368
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 9: I didn't show up for you to just sort of

369
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 9: like here, yeah exactly, just like play just you know.

370
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 6: Quickly go through the album version. So that's be.

371
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 7: A standout song if you had one people to sample.

372
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 9: Let's play Uh, we've gotta do like they do in

373
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 9: the podcast, like we're playing it. Yeah, let's play about

374
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 9: to lose commalss theme.

375
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 4: So I got its feeling out about But then I

376
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 4: don't ever want to make good to.

377
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 7: All right any other any other music notes Sevin.

378
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 9: I listened to probably about the same amount of music

379
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 9: as I always listened to. This year, I had tough

380
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 9: time connecting to music this year.

381
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 6: I don't know so much.

382
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know how much of that was me

383
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 9: or if the new stuff just wasn't that good, especially

384
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 9: looking back, you know where I got my like Facebook

385
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 9: memory shit popping up, and I was like, looking back

386
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 9: on some of my old lists of like favorite albums

387
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 9: and stuff, I was like, shit, I used to listen

388
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 9: to a lot of new music and like not playing

389
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 9: it once but like on rotation throughout the year, and

390
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 9: this year I was just like it was tough to

391
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 9: like there was there wasn't a lot of new stuff

392
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 9: that I connected with.

393
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel similarly.

394
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 9: I think next year I'm gonna try to be a

395
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 9: bit more intentional about it because I think also it's

396
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 9: like I fucking hate the Apple Music UI and it

397
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 9: wait forced you to basically just listen to the last

398
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 9: three things you listened to yeah, yeah, or something completely random.

399
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 9: So twenty twenty five. My goal is to be more

400
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 9: intentional about listening to new music.

401
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 5: So yeah, Similarly, I'm not really a singles guy, so

402
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: that I was I was trying to see, like, Okay,

403
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 5: do I have a standout song? But I did pick

404
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: one that It's by a band called Speed from Australia

405
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 5: who I saw in July. They're like a hardcore band,

406
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 5: really heavy, but but I think kind of have a

407
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 5: lightness or there's kind of a fun element to them

408
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: where I think anyone who's at all open to like

409
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 5: kind of loud rock could probably tolerate it. This is

410
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 5: great for like a gym playlist. The song would be

411
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 5: the first test. It's on their new album. They incorporate

412
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 5: flute in a way that isn't as gimmicky as I

413
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 5: would have feared.

414
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 6: Lizzo heard about this No no, no, no no.

415
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 5: No, being like, all right, here's this hardcore band that's

416
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 5: like screaming and mashing and stuff and they do flute stuff.

417
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 7: I was like, but I saw them live before.

418
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 5: I really I had heard them before, but seeing them

419
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 5: live they were great and the flute stuff played really well,

420
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 5: and it's like, you know, next time you're trying to

421
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: get your pump on. Throw the song, see see how

422
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 5: it feels next time, trying to pr at the Yeah. Yeah,

423
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 5: just throw up somewhere in the middle of the playlist

424
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: there and see see how you feel about it.

425
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 7: I'd i'd love to get your reaction.

426
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: I need, I need motivational music to even you know,

427
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: get out there.

428
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 7: It's good, nice, Yeah, throw it on.

429
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 5: So that that's that's if I had to pick like

430
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 5: one song, I was looking back because similarly to you, Devin, like,

431
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 5: I'll check out what comes out every week, but a

432
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: lot of stuff I just lose after that week because

433
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 5: I'm either onto something new or most of what I

434
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 5: listened to is if you look at my Apple rewind,

435
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 5: it's just Bob Dylan like three thousand minutes or something,

436
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 5: so it's yeah new at all.

437
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 9: It's funny to see, like what y'all listening to a

438
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 9: week the week. There's a thing with Apple music, you

439
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 9: see what other group listening to, but I see, I

440
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 9: see you nos, and it's always like some random Bob

441
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 9: Dale album.

442
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 6: Even prior to the Timmy stuff, he's an og.

443
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

444
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: This year for live stuff, I didn't see many things,

445
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 5: but one kind of notable experience was this band's son,

446
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 5: and it's these two guys.

447
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 7: It's like drone music.

448
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: So they come out in robes and they both have

449
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 5: guitars and they'll just like strum a chord and hold

450
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 5: it for like minutes, and it's the most incredibly loud

451
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 5: thing I've ever That was that Lincoln Center, so it

452
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 5: seeded a beautiful theater and like fog and weird lights

453
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 5: and stuff, but it was like eight earplugs and thank god,

454
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 5: but it's like my whole body was like wow, vibrating.

455
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 5: It was crazy, and like like the first few minutes

456
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 5: you're like getting used to it.

457
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 7: I was like, I don't know if I can sit

458
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 7: through an hour or whatever of this, and then like

459
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 7: you get used to it.

460
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 5: It was really pretty, and then you're just kind of

461
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 5: like you really are just like zoning out.

462
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 6: But it was his sensory experience, Yeah.

463
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 7: It really was.

464
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 8: It was pretty crazy, all right.

465
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: I think we can move on to the news events.

466
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I don't really know exactly what I

467
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: was thinking with this category. I guess like some kind

468
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: of thing that happened in the news that you think

469
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: has implications for next year. We obviously just did the

470
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: assassinations episode, so that doesn't count. The one thing that's

471
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: been in my mind is when the Democrats finally scrambled

472
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: together to replace Joe Biden on the ticket.

473
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 11: Good Day, We are coming on the air with significant

474
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 11: breaking news and a critical moment in the presidential race.

475
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 11: NBC News has learned President Biden will step aside as

476
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 11: the presumptive Democratic nominee. He will suspend his bid for

477
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 11: a second term, and instead he will pave the way

478
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 11: for a different Democratic candidate to face former President Trump

479
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 11: this November.

480
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 9: Well, we were together that day a fauldy. There's a

481
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 9: huge day Sunday. Is it a Sunday hours, Yeah, it was Sunday.

482
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I think it's a Sunday. We were getting

483
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: together to do a photo shoot shout out Jordan Bowman

484
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: for the podcast, and they just announced it while we

485
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: were in there, or maybe while we were on our

486
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: way there.

487
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, because that was on my I was on a

488
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 9: city bike and people from work were calling me and

489
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 9: I was like I knew immediately what was happening.

490
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 6: And I was like, yeah, I got to pull over.

491
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: There had been for maybe two days like it might happen,

492
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, but the reason I chose that event is

493
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: like I go back and forth because on one hand,

494
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: it shows that like the Democrats, who I'm very you know,

495
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: cynical about, do you have the ability to like get

496
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: together and like do some big thing if they need to.

497
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: But then obviously on the other hand, it was like, yeah,

498
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: they chose the wrong person clearly, or like they could

499
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: have like it earlier in the year. They could have

500
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: been doing this so that we could do it.

501
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 7: We could have done this two years ago the process.

502
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, or look, it could have been right person. I

503
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 9: think it's right person, wrong strategy. I think she could

504
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 9: have won if they threw Biden under the bus. But yeah,

505
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 9: see that's why at that moment frustrates me because it's

506
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 9: like they were willing to do something, but not.

507
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 7: They're still scared.

508
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's what I go back and forth on.

509
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, it is good that they they they

510
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: realized that they acknowledged how bad this was looking, and

511
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: then they switched them out. And then it was like,

512
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: but it's the same case to the same but like,

513
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: don't worry, we're still it's like, god, damn it, and

514
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: now look where we are.

515
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 9: Well, especially my frustration with that moment is like if

516
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 9: you if Trump is such a big like he is

517
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 9: this huge threat to democracy, right, you're telling people this

518
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 9: may be the last election if this guy is chosen.

519
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 9: So we're gonna we're gonna do something that's never been

520
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 9: done before. We're getting rid of our candidate. Yeah, and

521
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 9: then for that to happen, but then for you to

522
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 9: be like, but we don't want the new candidate to

523
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 9: be mean to the old candidate. We don't want her

524
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 9: to say anything not nice about the old candidate, Like

525
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 9: how is that where we're drawing in the line.

526
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: She didn't have to be not mean about it. She

527
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: could pay This is a different guy, different platform.

528
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 5: Just like the lack of any said he's the boss,

529
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 5: so obviously I was going along with him.

530
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 7: But yeah, next year, it's gonna.

531
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 6: Be me in charge.

532
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 7: And here's what I would do. The most.

533
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: The most infuriating ship was they did the podcast with

534
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: the pod Save America people, like all the people were

535
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: in that campaign it's like a month ago, I think,

536
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: and just like absolutely zero like self reflection, likething.

537
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 6: In the world.

538
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just blame other people. Yeah, and so implications

539
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: going you know, in the future. Like, I think it's

540
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,239
Speaker 1: nice that they can, you know, do this kind of

541
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: like hit the emergency glass thing if they need to.

542
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: But hopefully they learn from this because the four years

543
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: of Trump. Not happy about that.

544
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: But it doesn't seem like they are learning from it

545
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 6: based on.

546
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well hopefully at that point will be different people.

547
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there's time. Who knows, Yeah, there's time. That's

548
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: a good pick. Maybe a nice hopeful pick, you know.

549
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, my pick was not.

550
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 6: I didn't follow the rules of this.

551
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 9: Do you think I just picked what was an important

552
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 9: moment to me this year around the world of media,

553
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 9: which is uh. I found this TikToker who makes print calls.

554
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 9: He goes by the name this is the funniest ship

555
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 9: I've seen in quite some time. Goes by the name

556
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 9: of Cassandra Bowman. I feel like print calls were such

557
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 9: a thing when we were kids, like crank anchors. Yeah,

558
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 9: of course, you ever do it with your friends print calls?

559
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of times. I was a good guy, yeah.

560
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 9: Because it was pre you know, we were like in

561
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 9: the just like caller ID just becoming a thing, but

562
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 9: you can still hide your number.

563
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 6: Stage of things.

564
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 9: And yeah, he has this TikTok where all it is

565
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 9: is like he prank calls people. But my favorite thing

566
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 9: that he does is like so it'll be like, Manny,

567
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 9: you'll contact him and say, like, call my sister and

568
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 9: tell her I put her down as a reference for

569
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 9: a job, but like you won't tell your sister ahead

570
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 9: of time. So he he'll call and be like, all right,

571
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 9: I'm calling. He does like this woman's voice. You know, man,

00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 5: just look at like a big list of news events.

627
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: And I was looking and I found a story that

628
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: I think everyone here is going to appreciate at least.

629
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 5: I mean when I say everyone, I mean you to.

630
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 5: And here's the headline from Reiters. This is in June,

631
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 5: wild horses returned to Kazakhstans Golden Step after some two

632
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 5: hundred years. So these are the only remaining wild horses

633
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 5: and they've been returned to their incestral homeland in the

634
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: Golden Step. And I need to do some more reading,

635
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 5: admittedly to catch up on it, but it sounds like

636
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 5: things are going well and they're kind of rebuilding their

637
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: you know, they started with a few and now they're

638
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 5: rebuilding up to get more and more back living naturally.

639
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 5: So hopefully, you know, two hundred years from now, there'll

640
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 5: be plenty more wild horses standing in fear, standing strong,

641
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 5: not running.

642
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: Probably you should send that article to ren the woman

643
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: And I'm on this, yeah, yeah, but I think I've

644
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: already seen it.

645
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 5: Yeah I did this actually, but yeah, I thought that

646
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 5: was a nice positive story, which you know so much

647
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 5: of these days. Anything else, so many other reflections that

648
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 5: you're obviously launching No Such Thing was a huge moment

649
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 5: for for me and the world.

650
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, how can we forget what a couple of months ago,

651
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: really at the end of the year, launching this podcast,

652

658
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: whether it is okay to be on your bed with

659
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: your outside clothes. Uh, so very divisive. We're getting a
