It's like a seventies like 111 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: it's like a seventies rock song, but is about Jesus, right, 112 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't feel like actual like the genre of 113 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: gospel music.

I think he was sort 123 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: of like Captain beefheart band called like the Eggplant that 124 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: Ate Chicago or something like that, and then he wrote 125 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: that this is a joke and people were like, this 126 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: is just such a great gospel song. He's like, no, 127 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: it's a fucking joke. And that's that's so interesting. That 128 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: happens so often we I've I've talked about it before, 129 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: but the fact that, uh that Steelers Wheel Songs stuck 130 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: in the middle with you was them doing like basically 131 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: seeing that Bob Dylan was so successful and being like, 132 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna make fun of Bob Dylan with like a 133 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: bunch of shitty Bob Dylan metaphors about clowns and jokers 134 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: and like do an actual shitty Bob Dylan voice during 135 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: the song. They're like going, wells loved me jokes and 136 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: like it's there by far their biggest hit, uh, the 137 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: number one song to get Tortured too. I'm not sure 138 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: if most people know that, but that song is behind 139 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: Danny Boy is the number is the number. If you 140 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, that joke will make zero sends 141 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: to you. But it is. I think everyone's seen that. 142 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: I think we can it's I mean, yeah, I don't. 143 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: I don't know why they call it the gospel, maybe 144 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: just because of the lyrics, because I wouldn't say like 145 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: it has like the actual structure of traditional gospel music 146 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: like sonically, but yeah, I guess, I guess like in 147 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: that sense. And they're like, well, if it's Jesus base like, 148 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: that's we'll put it in there in the gospel. Maybe 149 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: a bit of Rolex when they were saying he wasn't country, 150 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: it's a it's a hundred percent of rock song. Also, 151 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: it was issued under the name Norman green Bomb. No 152 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: one like is this guy Sam Cook or something like 153 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: it was. Uh yeah, it seems like it belongs squarely 154 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: in the uh in the same category as the Jeremiah 155 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: was a Bullfrog. Um, well, what are some other like 156 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: rock songs that are of that genre of like rock 157 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: songs that seem like they could have been written by 158 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: a five year old? But they rule for sure that's 159 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: not an insult. The mash the themed a Mash was 160 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: Robert Altman said, okay, so for the theme music, we 161 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: need something that sounds like it was written by a 162 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: ten year old, like literally written by a ten year old, 163 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: and whoever was writing it couldn't do it. So Robert 164 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: Altman's son, Michael wrote the music and he was like 165 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: thirteen years old. And so there was a time where 166 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: the thirteen year old son of Robert Altman was pulling 167 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: in more money and royalties for Mash than Robert Altman 168 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: was writing music. Is that true? It really is. I 169 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: mean I may be messing up the names. Maybe it's 170 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: not Michael Altman, but I think it is. But the 171 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: song is called Suicide Is Painless, and which that kid 172 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: that's a thirteen year old name. That's a that's a 173 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: thirteen year old coming up with that title, because that's 174 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: the real angsty. I hate to hate to pull some 175 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: some string like number crunch here he was fifteen. Apparently 176 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: he was fifteen. I'm so sorry. What's his name? Michael Altman? Though? 177 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: Wasn't the name you did? You got the Michael Altman 178 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: two years fund the age, so and I added some 179 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: precocity to that kid. Yeah, and Elvis also was doing 180 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: like a bit. He was doing a fake character to 181 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: make the session musicians laugh, and that's where he got 182 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: like at first he was singing like himself, like he 183 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: would sing, and then he started doing like a who 184 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: don't you like things like that and people were like, no, 185 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: that actually slaps keep doing that, And that's how he 186 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: came up with the thing after like hours of just 187 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: trying to sing in a straightforward with what I was. 188 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: I was. I opened for back for a little while 189 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: on the road check when people know. But when people 190 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: still did that, I did stand up and it was great. 191 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: And one of his um, one of the folks that 192 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: was tory with them, told me that when you know 193 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: that loser, which is one of his most famous songs, 194 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: where he was in the studio and he kept sucking 195 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: something up. And I've not I've not clarified this direct 196 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: it with Beck, but I've had this confirmed by other people, 197 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: which is that he was like he started saying he 198 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: started saying about how he was a loser, and they're like, 199 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna use that. Yeah, he's like loser babies, Why 200 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: don't I mean like he's he's unbelievable. So it's not 201 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: like he's he's funk up. But I mean, yeah, I 202 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: can imagine that people doing ship for laughs. Musicians are 203 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: so painfully earnest that sometimes when they're occasionally not taking 204 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: themself seriously, maybe it's better than the stuff that they're doing, 205 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: because they get out of their own way, right, and 206 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: it like just get by doing something silly or something, 207 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: it just like gets the it clears the signal for 208 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: them or whatever whatever it is. Also, there's something about 209 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: the alchemy of doing something simple and like, you know, 210 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: my favor there's a piece by Eric Johnson, who is 211 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: a great guitarist called Cliffs of Dover, which is like 212 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: famously like one of the hardest pieces to play on guitar, 213 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: but it's got a really simple riff at the center 214 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: of it. And he was like, yeah, I was taking 215 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: my groceries and for the car road in like five minutes. Yeah. 216 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: Like Sweet Child of Mine was a finger stretching exercise 217 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: that Slash used to do. Yeah, there's like a bunch 218 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: of stories like that where it's just like these very 219 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:16,359 Speaker 1: simple things and like musicians just are are too complicated. 220 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: They get too complicated with it. They're too advanced. You 221 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: may know, customed Over from being the hardest song to 222 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: playing guitar hero, but it is very very good. I 223 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: mean through the fire and flames on, like the hardest 224 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: mode is also pretty pretty intense too.

Um, 376 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: and that's just the legal ship. There's another guy, doctor 377 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: h we Zenga and Beverly Hills said that he's been 378 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: offered like bribes in the tens of thousands by individuals 379 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: to get their whole families or whatever vaaccinated before everyone else. Um, 380 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: they're also just saying like he's also seen people trying 381 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: to ask him how they could quote transiently get into 382 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: the health care profession or on staff at nursing homes 383 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: so they qualify for early vaccines. Um, yeah, so I 384 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: get it. The rollout has been the ship show obviously, 385 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: Like my own parents, who are in over sixty five 386 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: and are able to get a vaccine, has been very 387 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: difficult or you know, it's been a start stop process, 388 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: but have been getting there. But it's just sort of 389 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: like I'm not sure, Like I don't understand why they 390 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: think that gives them the right to I don't know, 391 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: like cut the line in front of a fucking essential 392 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: medical worker, or what they think happens once they're vaccinated, 393 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: Like oh now world now everything is now, Spago will 394 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: reopen because I'm vaccinated. Like what's the lack of awareness 395 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: as a member of a community that it requires to do? 396 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: Like as as the people who are most able to 397 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: continue to distance and stay out of harm's way, they're 398 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: so fully bought into the like sort of me first 399 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: individualism of the West that they can't they can't even 400 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: see that or I don't know, they don't want to. Uh. 401 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: There is a a story in Vancouver, but it does 402 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: have an entertainment industry connection. A rich fifty year old 403 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: and his wife who is a thirty two year old 404 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: actress who was in the movies Fat Man and Chick Fight. Uh, 405 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: they chartered a plane like Batman and the Joker Fat 406 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: Man and Chick Fight. No, those are separate movies. Like 407 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: that sounds kind of high concept, but uh, they charted 408 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: a plane to a tribal land in the Yukon that 409 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: has one hundred people and posed as local shopkeepers, uh, 410 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: to get the vaccines when it was being given to 411 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: elderly indigenous. That is elaborate. That is some heist movie. Shit. Yeah, 412 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: that's like a heist movie where you're rooting against the people. Paul. 413 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: It's like it's like The Worst Oceans eleven. You're like, God, 414 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I hope they're caught. Right. It's Katarina Baker 415 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: and her husband's name is like Rodney Baker or something 416 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: like that is the name of the couple. Rodney. Vancouver 417 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: just went down a couple of spots on my Favorite 418 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: city list because of that. I get no respect, no 419 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: respects because I'm a funny criminal. I'm appropriating indigenous culture 420 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: to get a vaccine. Whoa, I got a fake mustache 421 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: and uh and that was sussed out pretty quick. I 422 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: come doing an Indian accent. It's it was the wrong time. 423 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: It ends up being it. It sounds like a really 424 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: fucked up scene from the office that would have actually 425 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: happened where Michael tries to get a vaccine on on 426 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: on the tribal ground. That don't that's so funny and 427 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: his and he has a rationale for it that he's 428 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: definitely like, my dad got a vaccine. My dad is 429 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: an I see you doctor in Boston. He's one of 430 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: the first to get a vaccine. And I was relieved. 431 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: But it's by no means like a get out of 432 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: jail free car. You've got to be really careful and 433 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: you can still pass it on to people. And it's like, 434 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: it's really not great you get it. Even if you 435 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: have the you can still it's it's it's scary. Yeah, 436 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: considering the environment we're in. Two it's like, yeah, you can, 437 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: but that doesn't change the overall picture the situation you're in. 438 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: You're so right about spargo, like these people do think 439 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: they're like, well, I've got vaccinated, when they're like they're 440 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: gonna be like let usten Wolfgang, But you know, what 441 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: have you heard of? So in l A there's something 442 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: called overflow lines where they can't waste these vaccines once 443 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: they're open. So you can wait on an overflow line 444 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: and get a vaccine if you know, people don't show 445 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: up for their appointments, or if people can't show up 446 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: for their appointments, or if they've got extra stuff left 447 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: at the end of the day. So there is a 448 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: way to get the vaccine legally. It still doesn't seem 449 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: great though, because the l A Times wrote an article 450 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: a few days ago about how you know the there's 451 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: a district in l A that's n uh you know, 452 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: black and Latino, and the overflow line was almost exclusively 453 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: white people who had heard about it as sort of 454 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: like a life hack and we're coming to get it. 455 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: And they asked a bunch of people on the line 456 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: if they thought it was okay, and everyone was like, yeah, sure, 457 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: but don't use my name in the article so they 458 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: know it's I mean, it's like it's a tough one 459 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: because on one hand, like philosophically, like you can't wait 460 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: these vaccines Like that is just absolutely fucked up. And 461 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: I think the tone of it because we were actually 462 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: discussing it, like uh, Daniel and Anna and I actually 463 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: over the weekend because we're like reading that article that 464 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: had a very weird tone about people who are like 465 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: trying not to waste it. But it just seemed two 466 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: more be like, look at these youngsters just fucking trying 467 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: to get the vaccines or whatever, which I get on 468 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: one hand, Yeah, like the like going somewhere to a 469 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: community that already has a lack of resource to be 470 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: like can I get your overflow? Uh? Is definitely not 471 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: like the best look. But then you also like wish 472 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: like why can't we have more? You know, like I 473 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people having trouble getting the 474 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: vaccines to like to get to a place to get it. 475 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: That in that same breath, like couldn't you have you know, 476 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: like they're talking about having paramedics or ambulances be mobile, 477 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: like vaccinators who will pull up to you and be like, 478 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: here's your vaccine? Is that you boom boom boom to 479 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: like help address you know, all the fucking holes that 480 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: we have in the distribution plan. But yeah, it seems 481 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: I mean failure. I feel like with the with the 482 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: um you know, overflow lines, that is systemic failure. And 483 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: just you know, this a system that is based on 484 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: white supremacy and not paying attention to the distribution in 485 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: communities that are primarily persons of color like that, that 486 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: is just a symptom of that overall failure. The people 487 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: who flew up to the tribal lands to steal those vaccines, 488 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: uh face a nine dollar fine for doing that. So 489 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: it's like there's just so many systemic like ways that 490 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: the systemically we're kind of fucked. You know, understand what 491 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean. Like what we're finding out right now is 492 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: who would push women and children out of the way 493 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: to get into the lifeboats Titanic. Yeah, it's just like 494 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: what you dress up as a woman or child to 495 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: get on. Yeah, that's the Billy Zane character right now, 496 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: trying to get into the lifeboats. But it is like 497 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: you said, like, why can't we have a better rollout 498 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: like I think now we will because there was a 499 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: good op at a couple. I'm sure you guys maybe 500 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: covered it, but there's a good op at a couple 501 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: of weeks ago that like Biden's vaccine rollout plan is 502 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: insanely obvious. Yeah, and it started, and it's saying that 503 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: no one's tried it yet. And you know, at the 504 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: same time, like like you know the optics of the century, 505 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: are you know something that because because Miles is right, 506 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: like those vaccines shouldn't go to waste, just figuring out 507 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: a better way to give them out to people, that's you. 508 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: And on top of that, in communities like that, access 509 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: to a computer and ship like that is not the 510 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: same as being like, okay, Santa Monica, here's the website 511 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: sign up for vaccines. And another thing I just want 512 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: to say to even listeners to if you know older 513 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: people asked them if they need help getting a vaccine, 514 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: because let me tell you that ship is some of 515 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: these websites are fucking so backwards that even someone in 516 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: their thirties, twenties, what ever, like this this is fucked up. Um. 517 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: I like implore you to check on elderly people who 518 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: are eligible too and offer to sign them up, because 519 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: that's a whole other barrier to entry with this thing 520 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: where it's like it we have to find a way 521 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: to make it as easy as possible for everyone, because yeah, 522 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: a lot of times a're figuring out a lot of 523 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: older people are like, oh I didn't know, or like 524 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: I don't have a phone that does internet, or when 525 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: I do, it's very sparse. So yeah, just uh, just 526 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: another another sign that we all have to help each other, 527 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, when obviously the the official rollout isn't adequate enough. Yes, 528 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean this is this is kind of a slippery slope, 529 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: but this does seem like the sort of like not 530 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: just a nine dollar fine being level like leveled up, 531 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: so it's more. But this also feels like, you know, 532 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: we need to have a a population going forward that 533 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: is willing to think collectively as we're about to talk 534 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: about with like the many parallels between COVID and climate change, 535 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: and like the fact that these people are outing themselves 536 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: like I feel like I don't know, at the very least, 537 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: we should be using that as information for like how 538 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: how to deal with those people going forward, and you know, 539 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: how to not necessarily punish them but get them out 540 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: of the way. Uh, you know, in terms of what 541 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: what our plans are and how we're going to run 542 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: as society, because right now they're just well, we'll talk 543 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: later about this Florida attempt to get the Olympics this 544 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: summer where this guy writes a letter to the Olympic Commission, 545 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: and his first paragraph or second paragraph, he says, like 546 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: I can put you in contact or make give you 547 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: the right connections, help you make the right contact. It's 548 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: like there's so much of the current economy and just 549 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: like how the world works that's all based on like 550 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: connections and rich people doing favors for other rich people, 551 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: and like we really need a drastic shift in that ship. Um. Yeah, yeah. 552 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: Because also, like our consumer culture is so based around 553 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 1: like exclusivity and things like that and having the plug 554 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: or having access that it's like it perverts all these 555 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: other things too, like of just sort of like oh 556 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: I could get that, like I can't get that. I 557 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: can get that because I'm here or whatever. And that's 558 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: that the mac the mentality of these people trying to 559 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: get vaccines and and things like that. But also I 560 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: wonder if it's just also just a bit of like 561 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: just nihilism from these people who are like, fucking dude, 562 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: it's it's fucked. And the only way I'm going to 563 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: get through this is because I'm richer than everyone and 564 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: that's just how I'm That's how I'm rolling now fuck it. Yeah, 565 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, like like you mentioned with 566 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: in some of the cases, it's like people trying to 567 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: get it for their whole family, and like I can appreciate, 568 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, when you have a loved one who you're 569 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: really trying to protect, But you know, the I still 570 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: think that there is an apparently rotten set of ideals 571 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: at the core of this, Like when you say consumer culture, 572 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of like, uh, you know, sneaker drops and 573 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: ships like that, but that's at least a democratically like 574 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: people who show up first get the first shoes or 575 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, but they but it's been perverted 576 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: by bot. But I'm saying like it used to be. 577 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: It's like anything you used to be like that, and 578 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: now there are people who are perverting it, exploiting it, 579 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: being like Okay, I have bots to get as extract 580 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: as many sneak pairs of sneakers and then I flipped 581 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: those blah blah blah, like because it's all this idea 582 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: that there's, yes, there's one value to something and then 583 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: there's a whole other value to it to someone else, 584 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: like as a resell or something that's different or that 585 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: I have access to and you just don't. They're just like, yeah, 586 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: you're right, like understanding, this is not a commodity. It's 587 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: not a thing that is like, it's not a fucking 588 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Snickers bar or Jeff Coon's piece, Like this is a 589 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: it's a it's a vaccine that's being provided by the 590 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: government in a way that is actually kind of this 591 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: is a point poison word, but socialist. It's just like 592 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: this is for everybody. This is the people who need 593 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: it first are going to get it, and you can't 594 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: skip the lioness is this is in some ways extremely 595 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: egalitary and although as Miles points out, of course it's 596 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: not if you can't access the computer, but you know, 597 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: it's it's this is this point to point distribution is 598 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: not something that we're used to as um, you know, 599 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: as people live in a capitalist society. Yeah, but I 600 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: have more money, so that means I'm better. So how 601 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: come I don't get vaccine? I think it's vaccine I 602 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: could get right, But I mean they these are a 603 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: lot of the times, these are people who you know, 604 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: they bought into that idea the most that uh, you know, 605 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: when they didn't have all the Obviously a lot of 606 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: these people are people who inherited their wealth, like America's 607 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: as based on like inherit tensas any country in the world. 608 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: And it's ridiculous that they have this or that we 609 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: have this individualism ideal at the center of it and 610 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: pull yourself up by your bootstraps because it's so much. 611 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: But but rich people have a way of self reinforcing 612 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: this idea that like they've earned it, they deserve it, 613 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: because yeah, it's just very because it's reinforced and every 614 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: other and every other way, you know. I got a 615 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: text a couple of days ago from someone who you know, 616 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: cares about me and my girlfriend and they were like, 617 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: it was before the articles came out. It was the 618 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: information about overflow lines that they had heard from a friend. 619 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: It was word of mouth that was spreading and sort 620 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: of the Western l A community that they could go 621 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: get a shot. And they went and got a shot, 622 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: and they were like, you should go do that. You 623 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: should take a chair and sit out there at you know, 624 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: go get a chair and sit out there at five 625 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: am and and see if when it opens you can 626 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: be first in line, and it just didn't sit right 627 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 1: and so didn't do it. But but it was you know, people, 628 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird. It's the radio sweepstakes, like we're 629 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: gonna do hands on a hard body for this, uh 630 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: covid veguan wherever whoever can keep their hands on the UH, 631 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about this New York Times 632 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,439 Speaker 1: op ed from a client climate scientists, pointing out that 633 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: we could use this as an opportunity, like the you know, 634 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: global pandemic that we're all living through that is completely 635 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: up ended what normal life was heading into the year. Um, 636 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: we could use that to create a new normal. And 637 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: basically we have to use that to create a new 638 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: normal because what used to be our normal lives has 639 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: been vastly disrupted and we need to rebuild our lives 640 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: in a way that is going to avoid, you know, 641 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: the global catastrophe that we're all headed for from climate change. 642 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,479 Speaker 1: But his op ed is very actionable and very much 643 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: like and so we must do this to do and 644 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: but another way to look at this was uh a 645 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: test case of how willing as Americans we are too 646 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: change our lives to accommodate the freedom and survival of others, 647 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: and it's we've just been shockingly bad at it. Um. 648 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: Like they talked about the first thing we have to 649 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: do let go the idea that life will ever be 650 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: normal again, And I mean, just look at the story 651 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: we were just talking about, Like everybody is uh pushing 652 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: each other out of the way to get the vaccine 653 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: so they can go back to fucking spago or whatever. Um. 654 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: And like I just don't think like all this op 655 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: ed uh any analysis we give, Like there's there's just 656 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: down to the core, down to the very dna of 657 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: what America is and what the Western cultural ideals are 658 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: uh is is rotten or is incompatible with the continued 659 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: survival of the species. Like we're none of this will matter, 660 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: Like if people can't be taught to value collectivism and 661 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: you know you see it in pop culture. I was 662 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: I was saying, like the Martian is like a fantasy 663 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: where the global community kind of joins together on one 664 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: specific mission. I'm reading this book the Three Body Problem 665 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: that has like kind of a similar ish ideal or 666 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: at least moments of that, and I think like we 667 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: are fantasizing about that idea that we could be a 668 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: more collectivist society. But like there, it's just I think 669 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 1: we currently have to go to the realm of fantasy 670 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: to even like approach that, because we're so far from 671 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: it right now. Collectivism what is that some lord of 672 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: the rings? Shoot, right, Yeah, it's just it is basically 673 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 1: fantasy at this point. I mean, it's tough because this 674 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: has been easier on some people than it has been 675 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 1: on others, obviously, and you know, some of the industries 676 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: that we've you know, that have been built over the 677 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: last century rely on people using them, and the their 678 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: survival now is predicated on the idea that this is 679 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: somehow temporary and so, and we're gonna lose like a 680 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: big I mean, the biggest issue of the election cycle 681 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: after this next one is going to be what happens 682 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: to jobs that are lost to automation, and you know, 683 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: putting putting everybody into you know, domiciles and letting this 684 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: life continue at nas M or or cycling through various 685 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: things like it, it'll have an impact. And but yeah, 686 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: I mean it does seem Gretta Tuomberg was saying the 687 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: same thing, like, yeah, if we can do this for 688 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: a pandemic, we should be able to do this for 689 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,879 Speaker 1: for for something else world threatening, but it's not like 690 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: you know, just I know I'm worried here that I 691 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: sound like a little conservative, but like the deaths from 692 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: the like Mericoba counties numbers for overdoses came out yesterday 693 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: and there were seven hundred more deaths from overdosers in 694 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: the last the word and that's one county in Arizona. 695 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 1: And like, you know, I'm not saying, you know, the 696 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: Republican talking point is that this is worse than no 697 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: lockdown and that's not true, but um, but an indefinite 698 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: lockdown or the prospect of further lockdowns, like I can 699 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: see that taking a real you know, and part of 700 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: me also thinks that this is in responseable solution. This 701 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: is a sledgehammer solution, a lockdown where where where we 702 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,760 Speaker 1: should be advanced enough as a species to take scalpel 703 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: solutions to the problems like we should But you know, 704 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,720 Speaker 1: I know that's it's it's I feel like I sound 705 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: like really unfunny right now, like this is not what 706 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: what I but as I'm also a comedian, so I 707 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: should I shouldn't be trusted and my job depends on 708 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: people getting together in in large spaces, so I'm both 709 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: biased and uninformed. But with that said, I uh, yeah, 710 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I I think it's I think it's 711 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: an interesting idea. Yeah, well, I think the despair deaths 712 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: are obviously a phenomenon just across the country that we're 713 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: not addressing in general, and like so much of that 714 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: has to do with inequality and again the messages that 715 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: are reinforced in people's minds of what success looks like 716 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: or what it means to be happy or what you 717 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: have to have. Um, And yeah, I mean it's just 718 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 1: like that's why this whole thing is just such an 719 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: omni crisis, like it this whole pandemic is just like 720 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: it's it's just showing all of the things that we 721 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: have to address urgently to try and bring some sense 722 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: of equilibrium back to like this place. But yeah, it's 723 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: it's it's it's definitely trying. Yeah, I don't I don't 724 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: think it's I don't think there's a easy solution. I 725 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: also I'm not suggesting like we change reality so that 726 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,280 Speaker 1: like people don't like getting together in groups or anything 727 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: like that. But um, just that just at a very 728 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:37,839 Speaker 1: basic level, this central myth of americanism that that it's 729 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,800 Speaker 1: all pull yourself up by your bootstraps, can't accept help, 730 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: you know, rewriting successful people stories to cut out all 731 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 1: the incredible amounts of help that they got from their 732 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: families and from uh the business partners that they cut 733 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,760 Speaker 1: out of these deals. Like that that stuff is all poisonous, 734 00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: and I feel like needs to more and more be 735 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: viewed as such. And we need to like rewrite some 736 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: of this history and some of our pop culture so 737 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: that we acknowledge, uh that that is a myth and 738 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: that we need each other and we need to have 739 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 1: like a more of a collectivist mentality if we're gonna 740 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: uh continue on. And like, I think there are creative 741 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: solutions to a lot of the problems that people treat 742 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 1: as intractable, with both um, the pandemic and with fossil 743 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: fuels that like, well, if when we put our mind 744 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: to it, like I I do think we can come 745 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: together and like act in a way that is beneficial 746 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: to the species as a whole. I just think that 747 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 1: there is this poisonous myth that is keeps pulling us, 748 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: like it's like this gravitational pool of the American founding 749 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: myth that really keeps fucking things up. I do believe that. 750 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, is it is it too storry I 751 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: to think that we'll figure it out, Like like I 752 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 1: I do think that well eventually transition completely out of 753 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: away from fossil fuels, Like I think we will, you know, 754 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: eventually figure out a way to like put more oxygen 755 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 1: back instead of taking instead of taking it out and 756 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: and uh in terms of like carbon seck question and 757 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: things like that, like environmental science is really complicated, but 758 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: it's also becoming more and more popular as a field 759 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: and people are spending more and more time in it. 760 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,959 Speaker 1: But but but yeah, obviously the problem is now. So 761 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: the question is what are we what are we doing 762 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 1: about it now? But I also think it's interesting to 763 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: think about how we're going to come out of this 764 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: pandemic because some people are like, oh, it's gonna be 765 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: the Roaring twenties and people are gonna fucking go to 766 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: nightclubs every night. And I think what actually is gonna 767 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,439 Speaker 1: happen is that people who used to do it every night, 768 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: now we'll be comfortable doing it. Like you don't. I 769 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: don't think anyone now who was a season ticket holder 770 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 1: to a Major League baseball team feels like they need 771 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: to go to every game. Him, I think, I see. 772 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: I think ticket holders are like, we could go to 773 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: three Braves games a year, and or we could go 774 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, if we're a fan of the Mets, we 775 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,319 Speaker 1: can or the Pirates we can go to one game 776 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,359 Speaker 1: a year. But like it's the it's really we'll see how. 777 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens after this, whether or not like 778 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: everyone's exploding into vacations or if people are like, you 779 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: know what, a trip to the supermarket is enough for me, 780 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:28,720 Speaker 1: So like, let's see how people's behavior changes. Well, speaking 781 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:34,760 Speaker 1: of changes, let's let's talk about this Florida CFO real quick. Um. 782 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: He reached out to the president of the Olympic Committee, 783 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: I guess, and is offering up the Sunshine State as 784 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: just a new location if Tokyo keeps fucking around with this, uh, 785 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: we're too scared of the pandemic thing. This letter is 786 00:46:54,320 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: the most Florida like agro capitalist fucking ship. It's so 787 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 1: weird this guy. First of yeah, like you're saying CFO 788 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: of the state of Florida, I guess, so, Yeah, Jimmy 789 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: patronis who sounds like a Molly at Arts.

So yeah, 795 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 1: like you're saying, Jack. In the beginning, he was talking 796 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: about how, you know, with media reports of leaders in 797 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: Japan privately concluding that they are too concerned about the 798 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 1: pandemic for the Olympics to take place, there is still 799 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: time to deploy a site selection team to Florida to 800 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: meet with state. What Okay, we get it. You want 801 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 1: that Japan is to pussy about the pandemic to have it. 802 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: Apparently it was amazing him that he was able to 803 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: type that while making the jerk off hand motion he 804 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 1: was clearly making while while typing it. You know, I mean, look, 805 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 1: the ghost is in the ink. You can see it 806 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: right there. Um, and then goes on to say just 807 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 1: to be like, you know, de Santis is like this 808 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 1: is the letter, goes on quote when most of the 809 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,280 Speaker 1: major states were shutting down their economies. We were fortunate 810 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: enough to have a governor that recognized the important balance 811 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: of fighting the virus with keeping the economy open. Moreover, 812 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 1: Governor de Santis has partnered with private blah blah blah blah. Okay, great, 813 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:35,359 Speaker 1: you had tipped to Rhonda Santis, who's absolutely whatever. Um. 814 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 1: They keep going to talk about how Florida has been 815 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,279 Speaker 1: fine for other things to state of Florida has successfully 816 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: allowed sports to take place like the NBA. Additionally, our 817 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,359 Speaker 1: international tourist destinations like Disney Parks have been open and 818 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 1: operating safely in Florida for some time. In fact, Disney 819 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: serves as an incredible model for how to run a 820 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 1: complex organization. In the midst of COVID nineteen false we've 821 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,919 Speaker 1: talked about how much of a ship show that play 822 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: says there's no mass compliance there photo shopping masks on 823 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: people on splash mountain photos because they don't want it 824 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 1: to get out that the place is not really doing 825 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,800 Speaker 1: that great in terms of safety, and like the NBA, 826 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: like that's these aren't one to one comparisons.

It's not just Florida, 833 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: it's technically we're in the United States where we are 834 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 1: not doing well with this pandemic at all.

It was bad for 875 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,359 Speaker 1: Sara Jevo, it was, it was. It was good for Barcelona, 876 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,240 Speaker 1: it was good for London, it was bad for Sydney. 877 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: Like the Olympics is a site specific thing. It's a 878 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 1: huge infrastructural challenge. And part of the complex pitching process 879 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: for the Olympics is trying to promise the Olympics. The Olympics. 880 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: I see that, Hey, you're not just gonna bulldoze a 881 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 1: bunch of homeless shelters and put up a stadium, and 882 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: so like, you can't just be like, hey, why don't 883 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:12,720 Speaker 1: you have the Olympics. It doesn't fucking work that way. 884 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 1: They've got a ton of facilities, man ton of facilities, 885 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 1: and they I do feel like one of the things 886 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,000 Speaker 1: they brag about is being able to just like put 887 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 1: up these huge facilities and arenas on like within a year. 888 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,799 Speaker 1: Like there's no healthy way to do that for your 889 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 1: community unless you already have all the infrastructure. Uh Like 890 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 1: l A obviously already has a bunch of really uh 891 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: beautiful waterways that they'll be holding the Olympic events at 892 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,000 Speaker 1: the l A River. I can already picture the kayaking 893 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 1: the kayak races in the l A River. That'll be cool. Yeah. Look, 894 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: l A is complicated, a for is the only like 895 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,879 Speaker 1: the model for good Olympics. But I mean, right now, 896 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 1: the no Olympics campaign here's pretty strong. So yeah, yeah, uh, 897 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,399 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and when we come back, 898 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: we will talk about sliceable hot sauce. And we're back, 899 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 1: and uh, they were still marveling at the name Jimmy 900 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 1: patronis the fact that he's the state fire Marshal and CFO. 901 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: That sounds like CFO was just tacked on there. Can 902 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,799 Speaker 1: you buy these jobs or something or make them up. 903 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm also marking the panhandle, the state mascot marking the panhand. 904 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,839 Speaker 1: I do everything around here. I'm the groundskeeper in Everglades 905 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 1: National Park, southern southern corner I'm the uh, I'm a 906 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 1: bridge repair man from Key Biscayne to Key West, like 907 00:54:56,360 --> 00:55:02,279 Speaker 1: Jimmy patronis my business cardage full everything? You know, It's 908 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 1: just the equivalent of being the controller other states, like 909 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 1: we call it a control. I think that's just what 910 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 1: they're just being real corporate about, like the CFO giving 911 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: it that rather than calling get the state controller. Just 912 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,720 Speaker 1: imagine they're like, hey, we had a pretty good Olympics. Guys, 913 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 1: we lost three triathletes to crocodiles during I'm sorry, that's right. 914 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry from here. Yeah, it's an insane insane too, 915 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 1: but hey, look at Florida Olympics. Is not a bad 916 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 1: is not a bad idea, but just not Also, Japan, 917 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: let them have this. They've been they've been nailing the Yeah, 918 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: well I don't know nailing. I think I just in general, 919 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 1: like until you can guarantee safety for all, Like why 920 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,240 Speaker 1: are we talking about this? That's just that's the really conversation. 921 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 1: Should you know what shutdown? Like, as someone who went 922 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: to the Olympics in shut it down, like just have 923 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 1: bubble competitions because frankly, most of the events are empty 924 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 1: because the tickets go to corporate sponsors. So you'll be 925 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,760 Speaker 1: at a figure skating event that's sold out and tickets 926 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: are going for you know, hundreds of dollars on the street, 927 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,440 Speaker 1: and the events empty because the actual tickets are sitting 928 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,400 Speaker 1: on the desk of some middle manager at Goodyear in Detroit. 929 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: Like it's just they don't have it. It's not a 930 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: spectator friendly event anyhow. Like I wonder if that's also 931 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,359 Speaker 1: what's happening with the vaccine is all the vaccines are 932 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 1: sitting on the desk of some middle manager and good Year, 933 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: it's like, you need to get corporate sponsorship. Bro, come on, hey, 934 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 1: what are all those vials? Ah shit, I was supposed 935 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 1: to use the um let's talk about a couple of 936 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: the spoils of capitalism. We have a fruit leather version 937 00:56:55,080 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 1: of version of hot sauce, sliceable hot Sauce. That was 938 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: just I mean, it's it's growth has been accelerated because 939 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:10,359 Speaker 1: it appeared on Shark Tank. Uh. Guest star Alex Rodriguez 940 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,280 Speaker 1: bought into the concept with a two hundred thousand dollar investment, 941 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,959 Speaker 1: So yeah, get ready to never see this ever. Well, 942 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 1: it started like it was. It was a kickstarter for 943 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 1: Catchup slices and people are like, oh, this is interesting first, 944 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I don't want a condiment that 945 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 1: like I chew through. That's not anyway. So the newest 946 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 1: development is because Alex Rodriguez came through with the two K. 947 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,920 Speaker 1: They're like, okay, well now we're going we're collaborating with 948 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 1: name Brain Name Name brand hot sauces.

I won't do 955 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 1: it A dried out version that's cheese slices for sick. 956 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: You can buy the bottled ship. I don't understand what 957 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 1: the advantage is at this point. What do you think 958 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 1: that I am made of money? Do you see me 959 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 1: chartering a plane to the Yukon to cheating people out 960 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 1: of vaccines? No, I'm not spending that money on hot sauce, 961 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: fruit leather. Yeah, you go to you go to any 962 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 1: place and grab handfuls and put them in your pockets.

So, oh, can I just say 965 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 1: one thing. You just have to have my anti Frank's 966 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 1: screed really quick, because I do not like Frank's hot sauce. 967 00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's hot sauce. I think it's this 968 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 1: weird wing sauce that people call hot sauce, and I 969 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,920 Speaker 1: think it's just it's it's not like a hot sauce, 970 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, like a Tabasco was a hot sauce. To me, 971 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: Crystal is a fucking hot sauce. But Frank's is just 972 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 1: this abomination. It's not it's not doing what it's supposed to. 973 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: It's like when Lil Wayne tried to play guitar, like 974 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: it ain't. I see what you're doing, But no little 975 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: body wanted this or needed this. The only thing I 976 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,720 Speaker 1: know about hot sauce is that Hillary Clinton carries a 977 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: bottle in her bag. So that's the claims to everything. Yeah, 978 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 1: I know I was making I was making fun. Uh. Alright, 979 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,880 Speaker 1: let's talk about Super Bowl commercials real quick, because it 980 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,919 Speaker 1: seems like a lot of companies, UH don't really know 981 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: how to super Bowl commercial this year. Um. There are 982 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: companies that are deciding not to buy Super Bowl ads, 983 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 1: like Budweiser, um because it costs more than five million 984 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 1: dollars for a thirty seconds slot. Um. And people are worried. 985 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 1: If they're funny, it may seem insensitive. If they're somber 986 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 1: and reflective, they might depress people. And you know, you 987 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 1: don't want to hire Jeff Goldbloom to dress up like 988 01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 1: his character from Independence Day to sell life insurance for nothing. Um. So. 989 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 1: Earlier this month, Coca Cola announced that they would not 990 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 1: be buying an add in the Super Bowl, claiming they 991 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 1: would instead quote ensure we are investing in the right 992 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 1: resources during these unprecedented times, which is I think the 993 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 1: vaguest corporate statement ever made. Uh, ensure we're investing in 994 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,240 Speaker 1: the right resources during these unprecedented times. I think you're 995 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: coming out being like, Yo, the NFL is like a 996 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,840 Speaker 1: modern plantation where that it's just built on a pile 997 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 1: of discarded bodies who break themselves for very little support. 998 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 1: After retirement and becas of that we were no longer 999 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,919 Speaker 1: buying ads. Then I get it. Yeah, I I wish 1000 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,919 Speaker 1: it was one radical conglomerate. I wish it was one 1001 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 1: just one company that made hand soap or something like that, 1002 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 1: and it was just like I wish it was a 1003 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 1: Ben and Jerry's but huge, Like I wish Ben and 1004 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 1: Jerry's wasn't just partially owned by Unilever, and Unilever every 1005 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: single day was like just so you know, we're for 1006 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 1: killing all firefighters and you're like, what why And they're like, 1007 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 1: we're the radical conglomerate and we have to surprise people 1008 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,920 Speaker 1: and this is what we do. But I've written some 1009 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:40,240 Speaker 1: super Bowl ads, um yeah, and they're they're fun and 1010 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 1: the it's the one time as like copywriters, they're just like, hey, 1011 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: do whatever you want, Like it's an unlimited budget, Like 1012 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: we could get William Hurt if you need. I don't 1013 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 1: know why. He's the example of a star. IM thinking 1014 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: third third third builds star of broadcast news William Hurt, 1015 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 1: But I think yeah, I mean I it seems like 1016 01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 1: a bad guy, but I yea horrible man. But I 1017 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 1: do think that, um that like doing it this year, 1018 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 1: you don't know the dollar value of what the super 1019 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 1: Bowl is gonna be, Like that's really the reason that 1020 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 1: companies won't be buying super Bowl as because they don't 1021 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: know what they're getting. And usually the things that people 1022 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 1: try to sell during the Super Bowl they sell you know, 1023 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 1: these are these are money items people, things that people 1024 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,320 Speaker 1: spend money on. People spend their disposable income on the 1025 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 1: items that are advertised during Super Bowl. They buy be 1026 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 1: or they buy cereal, they buy peanuts, they buy you know, 1027 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 1: fucking you know in insurance and different kinds or domain 1028 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 1: names and things like that, CoCom PEPSI. And now it's 1029 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 1: hard to know what people are spending the where people 1030 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 1: are gonna be spending their disposable income this next year. 1031 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 1: It's hard to know what the marketing value is. So 1032 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: like I'm not I'm not surprised that one miscalculation I 1033 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 1: think is that people are saying part of a calculus 1034 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 1: that went into not buying is uh that people, uh, 1035 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 1: these brands were worried the super Bowl might not happen 1036 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,480 Speaker 1: because there could be a surgeon in COVID right before it. 1037 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,600 Speaker 1: That's not going to stop the super Bowl, you know, 1038 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 1: like that that's what they're they're gonna you mean, in COVID, 1039 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,200 Speaker 1: Like the last five months. What do you think is 1040 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 1: uh Tom Brady. Tom Brady could be what could be 1041 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 1: sneezing in everyone's face the day of the Super Bowl 1042 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: and they'd be like, yeah, I mean he has COVID, 1043 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 1: but he's still playing like super Bowl. I mean his 1044 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 1: parents have it currently. I mean when the Dodgers one, 1045 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 1: Justin Turner tested positive and he was running out there celebrating, 1046 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 1: and we very quickly were like a you know, yeah one. Uh. 1047 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Coca Cola so Coke announced they weren't going to be 1048 01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 1: doing uh the Super Bowl. Pepsi like that, now there's 1049 01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 1: this arms race to not be doing Super Bowl ads. Uh. 1050 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,959 Speaker 1: Pepsi was like, we won't be advertising at the Super 1051 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 1: puper Bowl. Uh. They accept uh Mountain dew, a bunch 1052 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,160 Speaker 1: of Pepsi on snacks, or are running commercials during the 1053 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Uh. And Pepsi the beverage. Pepsi is the 1054 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 1: sponsor of the halftime show. Uh. And they're so committed 1055 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 1: to the halftime show that they claimed even if the 1056 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 1: game was canceled, there would still be a halftime show. 1057 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 1: And they believe people halftime the weekend. Okay, um, right, 1058 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: that's not not not yeah not always the right Yeah, 1059 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 1: he seems like a very uh niche performer for the 1060 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,720 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But I guess that Blinding Light song was 1061 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 1: big hit. Um. But personally, now Budweiser is claiming, Uh, 1062 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 1: they're making headlines for pulling their ads from the Super 1063 01:04:55,680 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 1: Bowl for the first time since three Uh. In stead, 1064 01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 1: they've pledged to donate the money they would have spent 1065 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:08,680 Speaker 1: on the ad to coronavirus vaccination efforts. Uh. Sounds great. Uh, 1066 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 1: except they're still buying four minutes worth of ads for 1067 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 1: their other products during the Super Bowl. So uh, their 1068 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:19,400 Speaker 1: vaccine awareness less important than letting people know about the cool, 1069 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 1: refreshing taste of bud Light selter Lemonade. Um. But they're 1070 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 1: actually also paying money to advertise the fact that they're 1071 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 1: not advertising during the Super Bowl. Uh. They made one 1072 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 1: of those pandemic themed soft piano music ads uh where 1073 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 1: and they specifically like called out starting Monday, the brand 1074 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: will Aaron add that celebrates resilience during the pandemic, including 1075 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: a socially distanced birthday parade and athletes and Black Lives 1076 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 1: Matter Jersey. So, in other words, like literally every ad 1077 01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: that has come out since I'm so tired. Um, I'm 1078 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: so tired of this ship, Jack, make it stop? Why 1079 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,920 Speaker 1: why can't we That's been a big despair factor at 1080 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,760 Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic. All these ads were so 1081 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: people were there was a blissful quiet from advertisers at 1082 01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 1: the beginning of this pandemic, and it lasted three months, 1083 01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,520 Speaker 1: three months and now and then after that they were like, 1084 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:29,480 Speaker 1: you might as well get it at all of Garden. 1085 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,920 Speaker 1: Like it's just like you're gonna get sick, get sick here, 1086 01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 1: you know, like get sick with I'm so tired of 1087 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,400 Speaker 1: the And also while we pretend to be part of 1088 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 1: the solution by highlighting the efforts of people who are 1089 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 1: actually doing selfless work, uh and basically corpora tize that 1090 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 1: and like devalue that, so that somehow, like the acts 1091 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 1: of the first responders and the front line workers are 1092 01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,560 Speaker 1: are cheapened by by our goal of selling you all 1093 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 1: of Garden.

Like I hate to be super white guy, 1142 01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 1: but David Foster Wallace said, he's like advertising can never 1143 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,120 Speaker 1: be art because it's not a gift in any way. 1144 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: It always like demands some ship from you, and like 1145 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: there's a psychic cost to watching it. And add there's 1146 01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,760 Speaker 1: a reason you have to sit through an ad before 1147 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 1: you get your free YouTube video because it sucks because 1148 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 1: it takes a little bit away from your day. It's 1149 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,160 Speaker 1: an assault. Ads are an assault on you. I know it. 1150 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 1: Used to write them. They're awful. I still I still 1151 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 1: write them. I have anyone needs copyrighting work. There's like 1152 01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:01,439 Speaker 1: on my website, but are truly gotta get that money. 1153 01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: But ads are truly awful. They are really, really tough, 1154 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,559 Speaker 1: and in this time doing them is really irresponsible making 1155 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 1: people sit through them, Like yeah, it's just it's it's 1156 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 1: straw on the camel's back right now, So making people 1157 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 1: sit through them to watch the news, it's like yeah, like, 1158 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,639 Speaker 1: I mean, we still have advertiser supported news and that's 1159 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 1: um anyways, by our great products that will come through 1160 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about diarrhea, shooting on your friends, nudass. 1161 01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 1: The little search history after this is going to be 1162 01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 1: very different. One additional detail is that so they're you know, 1163 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 1: it's about buying up I think four minutes of ad 1164 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:48,920 Speaker 1: time for their other products. They are claiming that they're 1165 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 1: donating the money they would be spending on Budweiser ads 1166 01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:59,400 Speaker 1: to vaccine education. They actually are investing one million dollars. 1167 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 1: The ads cost five point two million dollars. They're fucking nothing. 1168 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 1: One million dollars. Yeah, it's what it was like when 1169 01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 1: the idea of man, these super Bowl ads are expensive 1170 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:14,639 Speaker 1: got famous back in like the eighties, and they're just like, yeah, 1171 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 1: that's what people probably assume is how much a super 1172 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 1: Bowl ad costs. So they're doing one million dollars. That's 1173 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,360 Speaker 1: the profit that an advertising company takes home from making 1174 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:29,960 Speaker 1: the apps, right, one million dollars one point three one 1175 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 1: point two million dollars is what you know, I advertise 1176 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 1: a good advertising company would would take home for That's 1177 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,400 Speaker 1: not that's that's that's zero dollars. That's a line item. 1178 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 1: That's a rounding error in a who's donating that comes 1179 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,200 Speaker 1: out in the wash comes out in the wash comes out. 1180 01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:51,600 Speaker 1: What are you kidding me? That's oh god, the I 1181 01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,960 Speaker 1: mean it makes sense that because this is definitely something 1182 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:58,240 Speaker 1: that was pitched to them by an advertising agency. Uh, 1183 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,759 Speaker 1: this whole campaign around their decision not to advertise. Uh. 1184 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 1: You can almost picture a day drunk Don Draper coming 1185 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 1: up with the idea and everyone being like, brilliant, brilliant.
