1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Minute

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: Trend Wants to Buy TikTok. Oh Man forgot Steve manouch Trend.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: I like, I still just think about when his wife

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 2: dressed like Cruela Deville thought shit was wild man when

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: they're printing evil esthetic like the long gloves, wasn't she

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: wearing like what were they both wearing?

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Glove holding like she was smilingly.

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: Elbow high like leather sleeves like lebron or something like that.

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, anyways, we're just getting more information on the

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: TikTok you know, the bill that passed the House to

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: force the sale of TikTok or to ban TikTok. One

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: thing we got new information on is just you know, well,

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: on the one hand, it was like, wait, so Trump

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: reversed and now opposing the ban on TikTok that I

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: had assumed that was like him just being a populist

16
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: and recognizing that this was an absolute loser. But turns

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: out it's also aligned with his business interests because he

18
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: was the first person to like try to ban TikTok,

19
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: and that was because one of his biggest donors at

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: the time was the Oracle CEO who benefited from pressure

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: being put on TikTok, and TikTok ultimately used Oracle as

22
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: their primary cloud provider in the US, and now one

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: of his biggest donors has a big ownership stake in

24
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: TikTok's parent company. So this would be almost so predictable

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: as to be not worth mentioning, but for the fact

26
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: that it ties into the larger concerns about Trump's desperation

27
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: for cash at this point, Like, I feel like that's

28
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: going to be a continuing story. I'm sure journalists are

29
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: like keeping tabs on all the money going into his campaign,

30
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, his Saudi relationships. I feel like it's gonna

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: be weird. It's gonna it's gonna get weird.

32
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, it's it's already weird. It's yeah, and

33
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: it's just it's just more like out in the open.

34
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: But it's interesting though too because despite despite Papa Trump

35
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: saying like I'm I'm against it. Yeah, Like the Republicans

36
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: are like, nah, sorry that this one's already out, so

37
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 2: we're we're voting for it. And like many people were like, oh,

38
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: that's interesting, Like maybe they thought him coming out would

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 2: maybe change how the votes came in, but they didn't,

40
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: So I don't know, there's just maybe there's a bit

41
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: of there's clearly a difference in opinion there that maybe

42
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: he can't even Trump can't overcome the fear of of

43
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: China as as sort of painting that as the threat

44
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: rather than because at the end of the day, like

45
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: as we were saying in the episode that came out today,

46
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: it's like the only the donor part is one of it,

47
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: and the other is like he also doesn't want any

48
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: world where Marcus Zuckerberg could also own it too. So yeah,

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: there's many, so many angles in here, so many angles,

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: so many angles.

51
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: It is just interesting that he has gone from you know,

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: when he launched his original political career, his central claim

53
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: was I'm so rich, I don't need any donations, and

54
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: that's how you know I'm not bought. And now he

55
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: may be the most vulnerable to wealthy donors that we've

56
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: ever had, like oh yeah, politics, let alone like running

57
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: for president as a major party candidate.

58
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: And at least in this part right where like the

59
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: money is conditioned on him saying something out loud, because

60
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: once he's in office, I doubt he's going to be

61
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: like no, you're right. I told you I would do that,

62
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: So I owe you, I owe you my loyalty now.

63
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: And then, just more broadly, the evil of TikTok does

64
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: not extend to you know what people who want to

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: buy it might think of it, Yeah, because yeah they

66
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, Steve Minuchin has announced that he's interested in

67
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: buying it. He is the former Treasury secretary, and he

68
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: told an interviewer that he's putting together an investor group

69
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: to buy TikTok. Yeah, which, yeah, you know, like Jason

70
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: said on today's show, it's highly unlikely that a band

71
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: could be easily enacted like this is just so transparent,

72
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: like yeah, like they vote on this and then the

73
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: next day, all these like capitalistic like predators are just

74
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: like circling the blood in the water and being like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

75
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: I'll buy it. Yeah yeah, buy it. Real nice.

76
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: I'll have the kids saying they want a six day

77
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: work week. Watch how easy I can make it. That's

78
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: how TikTok works, right, It's just you put it in

79
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: there and then it makes the kids say a thing.

80
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah huh, it's that easy. So you have no idea

81
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: how people that are younger than gen x are experiencing

82
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: the Earth and how and how they perceive what their

83
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: own values are. It's the Tiktoks.

84
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: And if you want someone to buy up the app

85
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: that people have security concerns over, who better than Steve Minuchin,

86
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: a guy who headed up a bank that was accused

87
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: of widespread misconduct that included illegally backdating documents in order

88
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: to game foreclosure auctions concerns like the right guy, He's

89
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: the guy for the job. Also throwing his hat in

90
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: the ring shark tanks, Kevin O'Leary shut up also said

91
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: he would buy TikTok mister wonderful, mister incredible, wonderful, promising

92
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: that he will quote close the Chinese back doors in

93
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: the code. Quick reminder, this man is not a computer scientist,

94
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: but he is one of the dumbest people to ever

95
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: attempt to play Jeopardy. So is just less than sub

96
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: zero score at the end. And like some of the

97
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: answers where.

98
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: Like like usually.

99
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: When someone answers something in Jeopardy, I know how they

100
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: thought they were, like what they how they were approaching

101
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: the question. But your answers, my man, are.

102
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: Honestly the sinophobia that is coming out of like DC.

103
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: It's just so constant. It's like, you guys, shut up,

104
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: like this, figure out a new way to create some

105
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: other like creator of all that ails you, rather than

106
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: actually looking at like it's this, it's it's the country

107
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: you're running right now. It's not the apps, And it's

108
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: so much easier then just be like, well, you know,

109
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's it's it's China. It's those companies

110
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: that are different. And we even said this in an

111
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: episode today. It's like, well, if you're concerned about privacy,

112
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: what about all the American fucking companies. That's right, it's horseshit.

113
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: But anyway, here they are, here, they are, mister wonderful

114
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: today shoot off at the mouth.

115
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: There is a Canadian. Yeah, he's Canadian as fuck, bro.

116
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: And he's like, it'll be an American company. It's like, dude,

117
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: just just go away, go.

118
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: Away, going dude, so Canadian. He commits vehicular homicide on

119
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: lakes with boats allegedly. All right, hype luxury culture. You

120
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: know me, mister hype beast, mister up on the latest trends.

121
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: I mean you were in your little Metajen sunset threes.

122
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I do love those shoes.

123
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: That's the one place that I do pay attention to

124
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: the latest. What's all your feet and greatest, but just

125
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: writ large. You know, we we talked about the Stanley

126
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: cups and now uh there there are Trader Joe's tote bags,

127
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: which I'm very familiar with, but I believe I have one.

128
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: Most of the navy blue one. Yeah, the navy blue straps.

129
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: But now we got we got them going on like

130
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: being sold for one hundred to five hundred dollars on

131
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: the internet.

132
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: This isn't the this is the mini tote. Okay, what

133
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: you have is a regular tote.

134
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Regular so it's regular tote, but small. It's a tiny

135
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: tote bag, so massfunctional more sure, I don't know.

136
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: I think it's more baller because it costs a hundred

137
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: bucks or between one hundred and five hundred on the internet.

138
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: I mean that doesn't mean people are paying for it,

139
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: just means people think people will pay five hundred dollars

140
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: for it. The ship retails for three dollars but has

141
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: completely like apparently there are nowhere to be found. I'm

142
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: gonna go maybe I'm gonna go stop by to see

143
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: if I can grab a couple and maybe they'll just

144
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: laugh at me. They're like, you fucking loser. You think

145
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: it a fucking TJMT right now, tj mintote, get the

146
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: fuck out of here. But yeah, it is. It is

147
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: like the new thing. And I'm just like, as we

148
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: keep seeing like these viral trends with the most like

149
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: mundane objects, you know, like steal cup or canvas bag, yeah,

150
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: I'm like what I'm like, I get that. Clearly it's

151
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: the Internet, right, because like that's accelerating these cycles. People like,

152
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is the new thing, and then

153
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: it kind of dies off. But like as we get

154
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: away from like luxury items, I wonder it's just if

155
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: it's truly because like the thing that about Stanley cups

156
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: or these traders Joe's bags is that they're merely just

157
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: more actually attainable, you know what I mean. Like most

158
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: people can't get their hands on a fucking burke in

159
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: or take a private jet to the say shells, but

160
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: many people can cop an insulated vacuum vacuum cup or

161
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: whatever the technology is for that thing, for the Stanley

162
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: cup or canvas bag, And so we're just I think

163
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: maybe it's like a rejection of sort of like these

164
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: luxury brands and luxury items, and then we're now just

165
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: being like, noah, so shit, that's attainable now as well's

166
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: hot because fuck that other stuff that I'm dollars.

167
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: Right exactly, yeah exactly, it's like, because this thing should

168
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: be attainable. I've seen them before. In this case, I

169
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: have one that's just a like a bigger version of

170
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: the thing that everybody wants to get. The kids will.

171
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: Laugh at you full if you pull up with a

172
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: fucking oh my god and an fs T full size tote.

173
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: Full sized tote, full sized Trader Joe's tote, but like

174
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: with little tiny sunglasses on, and like you can tell

175
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: from my energy that I think I've got like a

176
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: cool thing on me.

177
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: You're like holding it like this on your farm. You're like, hey,

178
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,119
Speaker 2: it was good. Yeah, anyway, y'all want to home cigarettes

179
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: later They're like, what O my way? But yeah, I

180
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean like this is a I don't know.

181
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: I feel like at this tick, like, at this rate

182
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: we're going the next must have item is probably gonna

183
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: be like a pen or pencil.

184
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't mind that, Like snap bracelet,

185
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, this is pog snap bracelets, like just all

186
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: dumb shit that Like that's what I'm saying.

187
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: Popular nineties it was toys, right, and then when we

188
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: got the last twenty years though, have been just dominated

189
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: by like hyped brand goods, you know what I mean,

190
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: and luxury like that was a shit that you had

191
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: to have, Like did you have Like I remember in

192
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: the early days of like uh, you know, after the

193
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: bling bling era of hip hop in the nineties and

194
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: getting more into like the Pharrell Kanye West sort of

195
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: fashion thing, people like, oh you got Louis belt, you

196
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: got this other thing or whatever, and now or it's

197
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: supreme or other shit like that, and now we're just

198
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: like you got that.

199
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just it's something peculiar to our specific age cohort,

200
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: and as we get older, like we're we've just moved

201
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: on to the whackest shit possible. Trader Joe's Tope pegs.

202
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like the still thy.

203
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: Cups are definitely a younger a younger man's game.

204
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, But I mean I think at the end

205
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: of the day, it's just it's just like what it

206
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: costs is probably the biggest thing. Because more people now

207
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: are just sort of like less and less impressed by

208
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: being like, oh cool, you have a seventy thousand dollars whatever. Yeah,

209
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: but I will get in line for a three dollars

210
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: piece of canvas, which I also was reading. Even though

211
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, marketed to us as sustainable, like

212
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: they're actually becoming like an environmental issue because there's such

213
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: a bit total proliferation of canvas totes.

214
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.

215
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: Anyway, so we'll see, man, But let us know what's

216
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: the new hip thing. Is it a pen? Is it

217
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: a Honestly, I don't even know, like a kind of notebook.

218
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Hey, guy who took over as CEO of Stanley after

219

00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: us know what the next thing is that you're going

221
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: to take over and make virals so that we can

222
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: buy up. We know you're probably ze Gang, so just

223
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: hit us up.

224
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: Bro, or could you imagine it's like bygune thing. It's like, yo,

225
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: these are like those old school AOL CD ROMs that

226
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: you used to do to install AOL on your computer,

227
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: or like net zero when they had.

228
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right

229
00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: back and we're back. And this weekend is Saint Patti's Day. Yeah,

230
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Saint Patty's Day. On a weekend rip to the city

231
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: of Chicago and the City of New York.

232
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: I've never been in those either of those municipalities on

233
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: the glorious Day. I mean, I I've heard tell of

234
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: how green it is green, Yes, the river at least

235
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: in Chicago.

236
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's drunk, It's very drunk. But it's also going

237
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: to be very v green at the White House because

238
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has made his Irish heritage a big part

239
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: of his identity. He's repeatedly touted his Irish ancestors and

240
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: even quoted the great Irish poet Bono in his speeches,

241
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: which I didn't realize he did that. That gives me

242
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: douche chills. But his celebrations of the White House are

243
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: a tradition, and they haven't always gone well. In twenty ten,

244
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: he was the vice president, obviously, and he suggested that

245
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: the Irish Prime Minister's mother was dead before realizing that

246
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: she wasn't he likes.

247
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: It these days.

248
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: He usually likes to bring people back from the dead,

249
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: but that back then he was pre killing people. That

250
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: was and that was back when he was a sprightly

251
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: sixty eight years old. This year, Biden will host Ireland's

252
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: t shach Leo Verador. Didn't I looked up the pronunciation

253
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: of t Shah and I am nailing it, but did

254
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: not look up Leo's last names pronunciation that, So we're

255
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna call him.

256
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: You should know.

257
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I know, I'm fucking it up.

258
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: Tap into your Irish roots, man, hey man, why don't

259
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: you go listen to some Irish poet bono real quick

260
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: and come back?

261
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: But oh soutarse yeah mm hmm. So international. So they'll

262
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: have an Oval Office meeting followed by Saint Patty's Day celebration.

263
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for this going real smoothly for Joey b Ireland

264
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: is one of the few outliers in the West that

265
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: is actually critical of Israel and concerned for the lives

266
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: of Palestinians.

267
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean what are they thinking? I mean

268
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: there was even like the at the icy at the

269
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: ICJ one of the like lawyers was from Ireland who

270
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: gave like really like moving uh not testimony or whatever

271
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: like when they were speaking at the trial. And yeah,

272
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean, like there's been sanctions that the Irish government

273
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: has put on the Israeli government. They've said, like the

274
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: US cannot use Irish airspace to fly weapons there. They've

275
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: tried to do whatever they could to make it clear

276
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: like where they stand. And yeah, you know, they've actually

277
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: like a ceasefire, not like one of those ones that

278
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: just goes for six weeks or six days or six hours.

279
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: A pause fire.

280
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

281
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Irish politicians has specifically been calling out Biden for

282
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: his role in aiding Israel. One lawmaker addressing the European

283
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: Parliament referred to him as butcher Biden. And yeah, I

284
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: mean they've been pretty consistent, including Varitker, you know, just

285
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: a week after October seventh, specifically, you know, became one

286
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: of the few European officials saying Israel doesn't have the

287
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: right to do wrong just because horrible wrong have been

288
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: done to them and people.

289
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: What did in Irish? What did the Irish know about

290
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: occupation or yeah, chill alone, as I've not read their history,

291
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: but I don't Maybe there's nothing there that would that

292
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: would create some kind of synergy, but yeah, there may be.

293
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: The only Irish history I know is that they're mainly

294
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: a tax shelter for cool companies like Apple, So I

295
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: feel like they should just be cool and friendly and

296
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: in that money and those cool relationships with Apple.

297
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will see how Joe Biden, I mean, like

298
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: you know, they apparently they'll be talks of a ceasefire

299
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: at least to a lobby for one while he's talking

300
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: to Joe Biden. But like now, I mean, like now

301
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer is even saying like it's it's starting to

302
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: get more mainstream that now they're doing the thing that's

303
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: like it's not that like we disagree with what Israel's doing,

304
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: it's just that NETS and Yahoo's bad.

305
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Well, that does seem to me like this opportunity, like

306
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: they do have a far right government in power like

307
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: that would seem to be a way to get people

308
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: like the sort of like center left like mainstream Democrats

309
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: message it to them is like they have a fucking

310
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: far right, yeah, government but in power.

311
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: Like but I think that just but that just shows

312
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: like the what the sway is of like lobbying efforts

313
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: from like the Israeli government has on the discourse here.

314
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: It's not it will never be that the Israeli government

315
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 2: as a whole or as a nation or whatever that

316
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: there's there's wrongdoing. It's like, okay, let's try and go

317
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: for the micro And it's true. I mean, obviously net

318
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: and Yahoo is the one at the wheel and his

319
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: coalition government is the one that's making all of this possible.

320
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: But like now, it's like interesting they went from not

321
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: saying anything to now being like, okay, yeah, he's actually

322
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 2: bad for regional peace. He's actually also bad for the

323
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: peace that if Israel wants any kind of security in

324
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: the region, he's also bad for that, but still falling

325
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: short of calling for an actual ceasefire sea fire, but hey.

326
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: It's we are calling for a ceasefire or at least.

327
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: Six months eventually.

328
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: Have they tried just saying it under a cough?

329
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: Though?

330
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: I feel like that because Joe Biden does cough pretty

331
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: frequently or like here's throat, so I feel like it

332
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: would just be more it might go more smoothly. I'm

333
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: sure his consultants have like suggested that, but you know,

334
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: try and hide the qualifying statement under like something fun

335
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: like a cough that people will you know, expect from

336
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: you because you seem to be dissolving before our very eyes.

337
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting to hear like people from like there's

338
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: like the Northern Ireland Party isn't sending any representatives to

339
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: meet Biden because when I've said quote, I could not

340
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: rub shoulders, drink guinness and have the crack while the

341
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: horrifying impacts of the brutal war and god that continue.

342
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: It would be the very opposite of solidarity with people

343
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: on the brink of destruction.

344
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: Yep. Finally parents are folding their babies.

345
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure what this meant. I'm like, wait, are

346
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: they fist fight like they got your folding up? Like

347
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: you got folded up like a fucking well.

348
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we did, like my seven year old's

349
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: home from school sick today and kept making noise and

350
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: you did tell me to go fold that motherfucker up.

351
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you'll fold his ass full, not like that

352
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: I ben to put in a car seat. Apparently this

353
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 2: is like there's some viral TikTok video about people like

354
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: you gotta fold your babies, and I'm like, what the

355
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: fuck is that to someone with a baby, And it's

356
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: apparently it's just about like anyone who's in.

357
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: The overhead storage ben on the air right right.

358
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 2: Exactly, But like for anyone to try to put a

359
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: baby in a car seat. There's like a moment where

360
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: they realize in a car seat and they just flatten

361
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: their body out, like like I don't want to be

362
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: in a motherfucker car seat. And so what they're saying

363
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: is the trick here isn't to lay your kid in

364
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: like just to flop them in. It's to sort of

365
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: get get a little bit of bend, get those knees

366
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: to the chest a little bit, and then put that

367
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: prefolded child in the car seat to make the I

368
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: guess securing of the car seat easier.

369
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: Ye, arm bar is really helpful to just like get

370
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: them to go where you want to want them to go. Yeah, yes,

371
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: this feels weird, doesn't It doesn't it feel like you're

372
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: putting your baby in a wrestling hold.

373
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean like when you when you actually look at

374
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: like the picture, it just it just makes more sense.

375
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: You're just basically being like, just emphasize the body shape

376
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: when you put them in. It's like I gotta fold

377
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 2: this fucker in half type shit. It's just more like

378
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: just enter the put the child in at an angle

379
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: that is more conducive to Yeah, and.

380
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: I also saw a recent parenting hack that was like,

381
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: don't play with your children, because then they're just gonna

382
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: keep coming back and asking you to play with them.

383
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: I have a life today because I've consistently always let

384
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: them know I'm not the one to play with which, wow,

385
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, uh, that's.

386
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: Not misunderstood that one too, Huh. I ain't the one

387
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: to play with. But man, I took that as never

388
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: play with my kids.

389
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

390
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: No, that's that's that's that's a I don't know.

391
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, so they're like and that

392
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: allows me to be rested when it comes to the

393
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: things that I do like to do with and for

394
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: my child. So I think all things, I don't think

395
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: there's one size fits all, but if there is a

396
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: one size fits all situation, make sure to fold them

397
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: to avoid wrinkles. When's Easter? When's Easter?
