34
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: a lot more people repping the fossil fuel industry than

35
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,799

39
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,359

Speaker 1: by one of the very faces on Mountains eight more

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: been way too damn long. He's a hilarious and brilliant writer,

47
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: podcast host, and producer. He created the blog You As

48
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: This Racist, and created and co host the podcast of

49
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: the same name with the great Tony Newsom. He's a

50
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: TV writer, but perhaps most influentially, he introduced us to

51
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: the phrase gish gallop, which I have shoehorned into every

52
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: conversation I've had since. Please welcome the brilliant, the hilarious

53
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Andrew t prophecied it is the return of the mud Tibere. Okay,

54
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I actually thought of one that was slightly topical two

55
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: weeks off. But I saw doing y'all. Yeah, I saw

56
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: the ship out of doing good. A few shut off

57
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: your brain. I feel like, Okay, as long as you

58
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: don't think about any of the subtext, it's pretty good.

59
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: I have seen since the world open back up, I've

60
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: seen three movies, like first there was a stutter step,

61
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: Open back Up, and I saw F nine and I

62
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: really liked that, the most recent stutter step, probably since

63
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: the hospitalization rates are shooting back up. I saw Dune

64
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: and I saw the French Dispatch in theaters and did

65
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: the same We did the same thing. Oh my god,

66
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: we should start going to movies together instead of me

67
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: going by myself and creating people out. I did not

68
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: like either of those, the second ones or the French Dispatch.

69
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're doing movie club, but Dispatch

70
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. I I will say I talked about

71
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: it a little bit audios as Race is coming out

72
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: to borrow. But it is wild that Wes Anderson decided

73
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: that in our year, the Lord was the time for

74
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: the Wes Anderson take on prison protests and cop It

75
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: is like in a vacuum, if this movie had been

76
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: made ten years ago, it's whatever, But right this second

77
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: it is the most tone deaf thing. It's not even

78
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: like bad exactly. I mean it's kind of, but it's

79
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: the criticism. It was just like, how the fund did

80
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: you live through the last two years and think I

81
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: know what I want to go and the answer is

82
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: he did not. He did not live through the last

83
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: two years. He lives in a dollhouse, a life size

84
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm assuming. Yeah, his movies are always adorable. It's just

85
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: very strange when they're on the subject of like things

86
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: that happen. It's more about this my story. ARC think

87
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: my he has changed remained the same since you know

88
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: Rocket and I have come to realize I'm a different person. Yeah. Still,

89
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: I went into it with hope because I did really

90
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: like the Grand Budapest Hotel, but this one didn't really

91
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: do it for me. Yeah, Man, Grand Budapest Hotel was

92
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: the source of my tweet with my highest hopes and

93
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: the less least payoff, which was naming the porn parody

94
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: the Grand Booty Stressed Hotel. I really I remember tweeting

95
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: it and being like, I guess I'm famous now, You're like,

96
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: watch me get a fucking agent off the strength of this.

97
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: Truly truly believed that, in my heart of hearts what

98
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I taped it out. I'm not already like programming the

99
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: number at U T A to show up on your

100
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: phone as and just like it'll be it'll be easier

101
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: to just pop up, you know, what Costco was considered

102
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: a failed writer in his time. But then you know,

103
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: the people are going to rediscover that tweet in the

104
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Library of Congress, and yeah, you're gonna go down and

105
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: the animals or anals in the Grand Booty stressed Hotel

106
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: of History. All right, Andrew, we're going to get to

107
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,

108
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: a couple of the things we're talking about, talking about

109
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: the twenty six not even like the best cop, Like

110
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: cops are are not good, but this one, this one's

111
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: really not not even a good, not even good for

112
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: a cop. They're really funked up. We're gonna talk about

113
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Howard Schultz. We're gonna talk about Portugal and just like

114
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: what it's like to work and live in a country

115
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: where capital is not the only thing that has power.

116
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the new conspiracy influencer market because

117
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: Demi Lvato has entered the game. Oh that plenty more.

118
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 1: But first, Andrew, we do like to ask our guest,

119
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Something from my

120
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: search history was hotel room workout. I I like started

121
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: doing a little flying around because I have some some

122
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: time between gigs, and yeah, I went to Dallas for

123
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: like kind of no reason. My friend was just down

124
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: there and I was like, when we know why you

125
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: were there? Man. It actually literally was like like like

126
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: as it was happening, and I was like, oh, ship,

127
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Like why did I take this? Well, it did explain

128
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: a little bit why tickets were straight up seventy dollars

129
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: to get to Dallas. Nobody wanted to go a handful

130
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: of Yeah, but yeah, as and as a result, I've

131
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: searched hotel room workout because I had never done. It

132
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: makes sense that there's a you know, proliferation of like

133
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: YouTube workouts in the last year and a half. But yeah,

134
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: I started doing that ship. It is wildly embarrassing to do,

135
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: but I think it worked. I feel like I was like,

136
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: oh right, I'm sore and stuff. Yeah, felt sore just

137
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: from you know, and it's it's the kind of ship

138
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: where it's like if you if your hotel room comes

139
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: with a chair, you could do that this type of

140
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: trip and it's all the Yeah, it's all this ship

141
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: underneath the table. Yeah, all right, I guess I guess

142
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: this is how I have to live now. But but

143
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I've kept up with it. I think I like a

144
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: little YouTube person yelling at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.

145
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: I got the I remember, like back when I thought

146
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: I would get ripped or something like that. I a

147
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: friend of mine who was like really in the martial

148
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: arts like gave me like this, like Nave like this

149
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Navy Seal had created a book that was just all

150
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: about not needing weights and it was essentially like what

151
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: you're describing, where it's like it's anywhere, just use your

152
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: fucking make your body as strong as possible. Yeah, and

153
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: I got you know, it was fun for a while.

154
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: But then part of me, like I did not know

155
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: about proper weight distribution, almost pulled a fucking dining table

156
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: like onto my throat and I was like yeah, like

157
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: like it's that like you know, the world is your

158
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: gym if you look at it right, and it's like, yeah,

159
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: I know, but that's terrifying already the gym is can

160
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: be a gym you want it to be, Like that's fine.

161
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, that that's the sort of you know person,

162
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: I am apparently late to the game. I guess nowhere.

163
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Now I have my my new My next job starts

164
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: uh after Thanksgiving, which is a weird time to start

165
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: a TV writer's room, but they know what they're doing

166
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: for two seconds and then you go for your break again.

167
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm told. I'm told some some show runners like that

168
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: because you can kind of like get to know everyone

169
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: and then noodle on whatever one came up with in

170
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: two weeks and then new year with that. I don't know.

171
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how this works. That's that that ship

172
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: is significantly above my head. But yeah, if it's like

173
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the Vaulter scene in a succession, whereas like nood ale

174
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: and give me your forty eight best ideas by tomorrow,

175
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: be careful because that didn't end well for the Vaulter employees.

176
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm keeping I'm keeping a word doc right now because

177
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: I I do. I'm like, I think every time you

178
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: started new like writing job, it's like it feels wild

179
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: and a little bit like they're never going to use this.

180
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's it's like a safety blanket to just

181
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: come in with like fifty half baked ideas. Is that something?

182
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: The is that something? Doc? Yeah? This is this? This cool?

183
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: What do you think that? Like? I don't know. That's

184
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I will just say sneak preview. This

185
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: will make more sense once I can talk about what

186
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: it is, but I've my ideas. Doc has the band

187
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: You Be Forty as part of it and multiple bullet points,

188
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: So I mean, as well as any idea, what was

189
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: the thing with You Be Forty? Like getting in a

190
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: fight with someone? Didn't somebody try to fight You Be Forty?

191
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Is that anyway? I see? Now this is gonna make

192
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: my Google search even better? Who brought you before? Havana

193
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: started a bar bar fight after You Be Forty concert?

194
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: But I think it involved him wanting to fight the

195
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: singer of You Be Forty. Maybe maybe that's just my

196
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: weird slash thick that I have going on upstairs. That

197
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: is straight off white excellence right there, right, Brett Kavanaugh

198
00:11:53,120 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: versus the White was fighting Ali Campbell of You Be Forty.

199
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: But it was just some other dude, I think. So

200
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh instigated the altercation by throwing ice at another man

201
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: for quote some unknown reason. Oh, this is the one

202
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: with Chris Dudley. I remember he was with Chris Dudley.

203
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Says states that Kavanaugh and his friends, which included future

204
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: NBA player Chris Dudley, we're trying to determine whether the

205
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: man was You Be forty singer Ali Campbell. H huh

206
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: fuck Chris Dudley. I totally forgot about him. Yeah, he's

207
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: the guy who shocked dunked on and then he threw

208
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: the ball at shack. Yeah yeah, what what the fuck?

209
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: Kind of this is truly like the simulation really just

210
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: ran out of pieces that day, right, Yeah, it was

211
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: just random generating, like okay, red red Wine. Kavana said

212
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: he liked beer like forty five times in the national media,

213
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna go with that. I don't know. Wow,

214
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: truly amazing. What parts of the world did you see

215
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: on your travels other than Dallas, if any just just

216
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: Dallas in Atlanta? Yeah, my my sister's down in Atlanta.

217
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: I I on a whim went down there and then

218
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: on another whim got my booster shot. Like basically the

219
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: second the c d C was like it's cool and

220
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: um it was a thing where like my my physician

221
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: in l A had been like, you know it's gonna

222
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: be like you should like really, the supplies are going

223
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: to be limited, and da da da, And I got

224
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: to Atlanta and I like walked into a CVS and

225
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: they were like, you want a booster shot? And I

226
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,239
Speaker 1: was like, yes, I was actually gonna buy this toothpaste

227
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: in from out of town. All right, well if you want.

228
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: When we got yeah, truly it was like I got

229
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: like booster shot and like chicken tenders in like a

230
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: ten minute span, and I was like, God, this is

231
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: this is the most guy with nothing to do in Atlanta. Ship.

232
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm taking my boy to get his shot this morning,

233
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: actually this Wednesday morning, pretty saying stuff amazing. Yeah, the

234
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: kid one, the kid one. It's just one of those

235
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: retractable needles that they put up. What is uh, what's

236
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Being paranoid about buying fake shit?

237
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: Like I think it's partially because specifically the Chinese people

238
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I hang out with have started to come into a

239
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: little money, so their asses are all buying rolexes and

240
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: ship and I'm not there, and I I suspect I'm

241
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: even if I could kind of afford it, would not

242
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: be that type of person. So what I did do,

243
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm wearing it right now, really happy with it. I

244
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: got a reissue that is possibly fake from Ali Baba

245
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: of like the Communist Military Chinese Watch, and it is

246
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: like like it was like a hundred eighty dollars. It

247
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: arrived in like the most like literally like it arrived

248
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: in a plastic box that then looked like it was

249
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: just like raft in basically paper towels, and then like

250
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: like a child had like used like clear plastic tape,

251
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: like it looks like I guess it looks It looked

252
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: most like a sort of like if I had to

253
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: design an I e ed and I had ten minutes

254
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: to do it. So I was like, ship, what what

255
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: what do I have around? Like bomb maker? Yeah? Yeah?

256
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: It was like so yeah, but you know, it arrived

257
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: and then I was like, man, I don't did did

258
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: I buy this from Ali Baba? Did I get ripped off?

259
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: And I was like, who gives a fuck? I'm down.

260
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: I am now not that ali Baba is less evil

261
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: than like Amazon, but it's sort of like differently evil.

262
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: That's another marketplace. I was gonna say, you know, I'm

263
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: I look at replica watches when eighties sounds like a

264
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: lot off there? Did you look d H game? Did

265
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: you check out? Was? So it might be real? Is

266
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: the thing? Because they're telling you you're buying like a

267
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: like a the genuine article rather than yeah, so so

268
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: the thing is that the nnuine article. This is for

269
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: anyone that gives a fun This is a Seagull nineteen

270
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: sixty three chronometer. And even the genuine article is arguably

271
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: a fake because it's like the factory. Yeah, so the

272
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: factory in Tangent in the sixties fifties like either stole

273
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: the design or licensed it from It's like a Swiss

274
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: design that they kind of stole. I'm not really clear

275
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: on all the details. Anyway, It's like bootlegs on top

276
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: of bootlegs. I am embracing the Chinese nous of it.

277
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Good about it in general, I think, you know, with

278
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: like replica of fashion, like you know, knockoffs becoming like

279
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: a whole other level like versus like when we were kids,

280
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: and it's like what's on Canal Street or like the

281
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: alley like ship now is like people are getting away

282
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: with selling it on stock X, which is supposed to

283
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: be thousands of dollars shoes that are replicas that are

284
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: made abroad, and like, I just like how it up,

285
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: like the outrage that it inspires in people who insist

286
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: on paying like thousands of dollars for something where you're like, oh,

287
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: that's fake, dude, Like I'm like, you don't, Like you're

288
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: a kid and your whole value system is based on

289
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: buying a thousand dollar pair of shoes, like I hope

290
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: your brain melts down when you see about these for

291
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: a hundred. Well, and it is like, what is the utility?

292
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: It is the same thing with like the su n

293
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: f T s right, Like what is the actual utility

294
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: of ownership of a thing with only aesthetic value? Like

295
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't need a watch to tell the time.

296
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: In fact, I did. I did like the most actually

297
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: pathological thing in the movie Theater the other day, which

298
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: is I used my phone to illuminate my watch hands

299
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: so I could check is straight up broken. I gotta

300
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: see how much longer is left in this movie? Which

301
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: movie it was? It was French Dispatch. I'm just I

302
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: can't the ship. Yeah anyway, embrace embrace the fakes, y'all. Yeah,

303
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: It's an idea that like should have, like found it's time.

304
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: It makes total sense, But I just feel like it's

305
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: too like the idea of just reps replacing like becoming

306
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: the thing that matters, Like I just can't it's too

307
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: like well damaging to the foundational like ethos of our

308
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: country that I feel like they're gonna find a way

309
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: to like end that. Yeah, well that's why I was like, yeah,

310
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: it's also like ripping off the communist design. I'm like,

311
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: all right, the other thing with the other I will say,

312
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: the other option with this watch that this company Seagull sells,

313
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: they were selling a like watch. I think my Chinese

314
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: is not good enough. It would have taken me forever

315
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: to actually read all the Chinese. But it appeared to

316
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: be commemorating the partitioning of Korea. It was like it

317
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: was like the parallel celebration anti US watch. Hell yeah,

318
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: it's like that's dope. And it was like that's like

319
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: probably a bridge too far for me to buy, but right,

320
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: very god tense. Yeah, anything that would outrage rich people,

321
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: I think it's great. You know. Yeah, this one was.

322
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I think my South Korean friends would

323
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: be like that's kind of fun up, Okay, no, but

324
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean I think of even like because you look

325
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: at Gucci and stuff, their designs are starting to mimic

326
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: what a knockoff would be. Like a lot of their

327
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: hoodies now, like with the sort of crude screenprint design

328
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: and like throwback aesthetic, like they're sort of echoing the

329
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: pirated material. Wasn't that the story of the Big Polo? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

330
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: I think so. And but it's also funny to see

331
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: people like who are like man like get so heated

332
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: about someone who paid seventy dollars for the thing that

333
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: looks exactly like their thousand dollar thing. Yeah, and I'm

334
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: because they need the exclusivity. Yeah, And I'm like, that's

335
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: an mindset baby challenge that Ship more be like I

336
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: don't give a funk. Yeah, I mean, I mean horrifically

337
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: fake versacci. It doesn't mean anything, right. What is something

338
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: you think is under it underrated? I did this yesterday

339
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: for breakfast, eating a per simmon at like an apple,

340
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: just standing at my sink. I was I was gonna

341
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: eat a persimmon and the firm kind, not the not

342
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: the one that needs to be tomato kind. Yeah, and

343
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: I was. It was like I was like, I tore

344
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: the stem off, and I was like, Ship, this is

345
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: a little riper than I thought. But I was like,

346
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: I already tore the stem off. I just took a bite, like,

347
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, sort of laterally into it, and it was

348
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: really good. I love morenot me up, per Simmon. I mean,

349
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: you guys get invested. Like we said with a Sharne

350
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: coming on saying, this is the time for per Simmons.

351
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: I feel like and now you're saying, I like see

352
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: there's a momentum golong with pers per Simmon season. They're

353
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: they're mad, they're mad cheap at a little Tokyo marketplace. Done.

354
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: So is it like a fool you, per Simmon or

355
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: what kind of Yeah, that's the Is that the firmer one? Yeah?

356
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: I think so, you know, I'm I'm Persimmon ignorant. So yeah,

357
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: the fool you, Yeah, yeah, they're they're the ones that

358
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: they're the ones that you don't have to worry about.

359
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: The other one has a very small ripeness window. And

360
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: outside of that ripeness window, it's actually like kind of gross.

361
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: It's like very a stringent, like if you like, it's

362
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: just like kind of like, I guess it's base pret

363
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: too much base. It's literally got too much base, much base.

364
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: It's always been by problem. But the fool you, the

365
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: food you is sort of like good even if it's

366
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: under ripe, it'll just sort of taste like you know,

367
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: like an under ripe apple, like a little green taste

368
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: but not like you know, disgusting. Yeah, that's yeah. And

369
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: when they're ripe, they're they're the best food. But yeah,

370
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: I just I just eight that ship standing at the

371
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: sink with a cup of coffee and a persimmon like

372
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: a spring up lunatic, like a big towel in your collar,

373
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: your shirt kind of. I think I was wearing a

374
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: bathrobe a ball of the tomato the other kind. And

375
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: when you just like mentioned this, I was like, oh, yeah,

376
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: I've like been letting them ripe in in a closet.

377
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: I should I should go check on those. And then

378
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, they're they have like a one minute

379
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: in the window. Yeah, but it's it's so good in

380
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: the window. It is like it truly is just like

381
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: putting grew on a tree, like it's so insane, so

382
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: good good persimmon. Man, I'm gonna go to the farmer's

383
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: market and be like, yo, cut me the best one, right,

384
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: fucking yeah. I need to know because half the time,

385
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: like I pull them off of friends trees and stuff,

386
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: and they're like, nook, they're they're good off there, But

387
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't know which one to pick. Yeah, yeah, it's like, yeah,

388
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: let them let them the firm ones, let them get

389
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: like a little like soft like a like a maybe

390
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: like overripe avocado like consistency, like you can like that.

391
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: You can't push all the way through it, but you can.

392
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, it has a significant give. Yeah, but man,

393
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: I love a love a fucking persumment. Yeah, it's pursumm

394
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: in season, is it. It's probably probably just out of it,

395
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: but just generally culturally, it's per Simmons season. Oh and

396
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: you can get the dried per Simmons, which is I

397
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: think Japanese. Maybe it's a Korean thing, but those are

398
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: those are good all the time. It's and during the

399
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: summer dried for Simmons and like a little whiskey after

400
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: dinner was like a perfect combination. As all right, let's

401
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and talk

402
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: about the COP twenty six. And we're back, and let's

403
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: check in with some headlines on you know, the COP

404
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty six. The all the most powerful countries in the

405
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: world coming together to solve climate change. What we got,

406
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 1: I mean must be dominating headlines, right, yeah, I mean,

407
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: let's see NBC has one It says his country is sinking.

408
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: So he's rolling up his ants to make the point

409
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: at CPI, that's very cutting, illuminating, gives me a complete

410
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: understanding of the progress that's being made climate of climate change,

411
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: combating climate change, right by Wes Anderson. Four guy rolls

412
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: up pants because Earth death. That's not very revealing. And

413
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: then I went on CNN. I did a command f

414
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: find to just see if cp S come up. Nothing

415
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: on the front page. ABC. Nothing on the front page.

416
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: Pretty disturbing considering that this is, you know, a lot

417
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: of people saying the most important conference of this year

418
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: and the near future to begin to tackle climate change,

419
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: and you and this is on top of like reports

420
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: that came out yesterday morning from the Climate Action Tracker,

421
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: which is like a watchdog organization, that said, based on

422
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: like everything they're seeing, the global greenhouse gas emissions in

423
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: twenty will still be roughly twice as high as what's

424
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: necessary to limit warming to one point five degrees. Mhm uh,

425
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: it's looking like it's more on track be two point four.

426
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: And the other thing is that they say, quote the

427
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: net zero goals of forty countries account of global emission cuts,

428
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: but the group found only six percent of those emissions

429
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: were backed up by concrete plans. Right, So a lot

430
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: of fucking talk. And here's the other thing that I

431
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: think is really interesting. It's only on more like progressive

432
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: news sites are like activists sort of you know web

433
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: places where sort of like the substantive information is being held.

434
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: Where this glaring statistic came up, which was born out

435
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: of this group called Global Witness, which did just some

436
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: research at C six that said, here's the thing. Quote,

437
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: if the fossil fuel Lobby were a country delegation at

438
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: cop it would be the largest, with five hundred three delegates,

439
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: two dozen more than the largest country delegation. Okay, that's right,

440
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: so there are more. It's like the corporation. They have

441
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: more people representing the fossil fuel industry than the buying

442
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: delegations of the eight worst affected countries by climate change. Sure,

443
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: this is the this is the dynamic currently at this thing.

444
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: But we're talking about this guy is rolling up his

445
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: pant legs. Yeah, I mean isn't that good though? I

446
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: mean think about it, like BP now does all those

447
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: clean energy ads so like they're probably right, I don't know,

448
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: they're probably being influenced by this so you tell me

449
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: who wins. I'm just saying there's a there was a

450
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: global witness was also saying that if you go inside

451
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: right to some of like the convention halls where you

452
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: know there's presentations done on quote unquote energy transition, you know,

453
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: like getting away from the dirty ship and onto the

454
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: good ship, you know that that's the same companies like

455
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Shell or you know, like the national gas companies of

456
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: different countries out there just being like, you know, for example,

457
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: one thing will be like, yes, we're touting hydrogen as

458
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: a new clean fuel source, and then if you look

459
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: at the fine prints, like we will use fossil field

460
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: fossil fuel generated electricity in the production of this hydrogen,

461
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: and you're like, so, what the fuck is this because

462
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: you're just saying, well, we've still got to use it

463
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: to make good stuff. I guess the little tiny argument,

464
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: which is not what they want, is like if everyone

465
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: would have had like hydrogen cars or whatever, it would

466
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: be easier to change like that electricity to whatever nuclear

467
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: fusion at some point in the future. It's like it

468
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: gives us at least the mechanics to get off of

469
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: fossil fuels. Even though as I say that the fact

470
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: that Shell paid for it means that's not the plan. Yeah.

471
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: At the same time, BP now does standford beyond petroleum,

472
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you guys knew that, Oh

473
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: that's the vegan petroleum that's like soybeans. It is literally

474
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: probably made out of soybean inside everything is I think

475
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: that's just so frustrating, right, It's like, truly, there's there

476
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 1: has to be a reckoning and you know, a real

477
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: acknowledgement of like class struggle and mobility as it relates

478
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: to all of this. But instead you have like the

479
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: richest assholes circle jerking so they can hopefully in their minds,

480
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: just die peacefully while we're all left to deal with

481
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: like the real funked up parts. Yeah, and like it

482
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: just feels so you know, like empty. I will say

483
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: the poll quote about the fossil fuel lobby, let's see

484
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: more than the combined delegations of the eight worst affected countries.

485
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: There is probably something to be said for like the

486
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: worst eight worst affected countries. I would that money are

487
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: the eight poorest countries in the world or near near that,

488
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: And and there is probably a thing where it's like, yes,

489
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: those people need to be there to advocate for themselves,

490
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: but like they're you know, their their stance is sort

491
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: of clear, and they're fighting, like what what are they

492
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna do at this conference, Like hey, stop doing this

493
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: to us and Americo will say no, which is happening now,

494
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: like as by that NBC article where you know this,

495
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: I think somewhere in Polynesia, this representative is like, you know,

496
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: trying to be like this is where the water's at,

497
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, by rolling up and then yeah, it's true,

498
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: there's indigenous activists. There's so many activists there as well,

499
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: screaming at the top of their lungs and they're like

500
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: this whole thing is absurd, like when you walk into it,

501
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: like these people, this is not has nothing to do

502
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: with like our sincere reckoning with what you know, what

503
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: our energy mixes and our carbon emissions are. Yeah, and

504
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: then the class of it is like by the time,

505
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: even like middle class American voters feel some of this

506
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: in a reasonable sense, like the rest year, it's beyond

507
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: too late, beyond too late. Yeah, it's it's an apocalypse,

508
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: but it's vegan. It's great. I also feel like the

509
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: way this is adding a lot of brains is that

510
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, people are probably like aware that not enough

511
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: is being done, but then like Greta Thumberg is being

512
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: like turned into I don't know. I was listening to

513
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: like a not serious podcast that just is sort of

514
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: people riffing, and like they were talking about Greta Thunberg

515
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: is like this, like the world is ending, we must

516
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: all like sort of doom and gloom type ship. And

517
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: I just feel like people are I don't know that

518
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: that's like the face of climate change is now just

519
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: gonna be like negative, like yeah, it's a bunch. I mean,

520
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: it's Cassandra. It literally is just like she could just

521
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: predict the future as much as she wants, but no one,

522
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, no one will believe it. Yeah, I mean

523
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: I think despite her like very clear eyed, like this

524
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: is horseship assessment of what's happening. I think the other

525
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: side of that is that there are a lot of

526
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: people now that like dumerism is becoming of an attractive

527
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: proposition to certain groups to just insist that ship's fucked,

528
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: it's too late, don't even fucking bother and let's just

529
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: accept it. And that's just like good, yeah, absolutely not

530
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: like things can be done. And I think it's an

531
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: absurd notion to just say, let's just lean into the

532
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: dumerism aspect of it. But it's hard to stay optimistic

533
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: when you see the people that are supposed to be

534
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: making the decisions be like, yeah, and we'll give you

535
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of money to come back climate change.

536
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: And also that's a debt generating loan. Right Yeah. The dumerism,

537
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: I would suspect is like fueled by the Koke Brothers.

538
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: But I feel like even they have to understand that

539
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: are funded by them. But I feel like even they

540
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: have to understand that that only goes so far before

541
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: people just start eating the Koke Brothers, right likely. Yeah,

542
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: but then it's like arguing about whether to eat the

543
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: Koke Brothers is what you know, defends them, defends their

544
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: power for another couple of years, and then yeah, let's

545
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: check in with somebody who's a little bit more down

546
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: to earth, and that is your boy, our boy, Howard Schultz. Yeah,

547
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: who is you know, He's not like specifically mentioning the

548
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: fact that like some of his stores are thinking about unionizing,

549
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of his employees are thinking about unionizing. He's

550
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: just like throwing out stories that he knows. Just Hey,

551
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: you guys about to vote putting this out there, I

552
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: don't know, you guys about to vote on you can unionizeing? Okay, alright, alright,

553
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: Well I just want to say hey, I'm hey, I'm

554
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm Howard, just a guy, concerned shareholder. In fact, I'm

555
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: the largest shareholder of Starbucks stock. I used to be

556
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: the CEO, UM, but I just wanted to come talk

557
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: to you about you know, you got this important vote

558
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: coming up, and I just kind of want to extol

559
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: the virtues of Starbucks as a company. So he went

560
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: to go lobby these workers in a Buffalo where three

561
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: stores are going to vote on unionizing, which could have

562
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: vast implications not just across Starbucks, but in like the

563
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: quick service industry because they have such a large share

564
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: of workers. And this man had the hopes of Chippotle

565
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: on his shoulders as he went up in front of

566
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: these people. How are you gotta na this one, bro,

567
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna don't make money. So they've been first of all,

568
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: Starbucks be doing all kinds of union busting ship up

569
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: until this point, you know, like having mandatory anti union meetings,

570
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: anti union emails, they temporary closed to unionizing stores under

571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: the guise of like, no, we it's a training way

572
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: to do a training day, That's what it was. And

573
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: then Denzel Washington made them smoke BCP on accident and

574
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: then made a fire them because they passed. They popped

575
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: on their drug test. You know, they gave pay raises

576
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: to sort of be like, here's maybe more bread and

577
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: a circus or two will keep them at bay. None

578
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: of that has really been working. So he went on

579
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: to speak and he said all this stuff about like

580
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: just being like, oh, we did we got you know,

581
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: stock options for you guys. We're doing healthcare before other people.

582
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll be fair, their benefits are pretty

583
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: good as compared to other, you know, comparable jobs, but

584
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: let's be real in terms of like your humanity not

585
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: doing enough. And so everyone was just sort of like

586
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: they're kind of like, yeah, we get it. It's so great.

587
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: What's what's your point here? Until the end of his

588
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: forty five minute discussion, he evokes the Holocaust and he

589
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: as he says before, he's like, I'm Jewish. I went

590
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: to speak to a rabbi when I was in Israel

591
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: and he told me this story and it just really

592
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: resonated with me, and he begins telling this room full

593
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: of Starbucks employees about the altruism that was happening during

594
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: the Holocaust. So let me play this for you. Men

595
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: was separated from women, and women was separated from children,

596
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: and one person for every six was given a blanket,

597
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: one blanket for every six people. And the person who

598
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: got the blanket had to decide what to do with

599
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: this blanket that I have for myself. And not everyone,

600
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: but most people. Most people shared their blanket with five

601
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: other people. And the Rabbi says, to me, take your

602
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: blanket and go share it with five other people. And

603
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: so much of that story is threaded into what we

604
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: have tried to do at Starbucks. Share. Oh that is amazing.

605
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: Like I had read that this happened, but I hadn't

606
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: heard it until just now. It's the idea of sharing

607
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: is so profound, is so like mind bending, like that

608
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: even just what I'm saying, maybe they need insurance, You're right,

609
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: what the fuck he's like? And then they didn't keep

610
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: it for themselves and let everybody else freeze their death.

611
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: Wait a second, hold on, take me back a little bit.

612
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: Let's row one a second, because you said that only

613
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: one person for every six guy, So what the funk

614
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: would they? What are you talking about? Man? They're probably

615
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: not as warm as they could be. But I did, Rabbi.

616
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: I did share it with as the CEO. I shared

617
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: it with the CEO, the s VP of global strategy,

618
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 1: the CFO that you know, the the c suite people

619
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: like and we split the profits. It was a great

620
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: blanket we shared. But in this instance, the idea that

621
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: I'm sorry man, like this metaphor that the multinational corporation

622
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: is in the is that they're in the trend car.

623
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: There's another workers like and saying like we gotta work together. Man.

624
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: It's like if anything in this you would be the

625
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: Nazis because they were they were in control of blanket distribution,

626
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: and you are here giving people one fucking blanket, like

627
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: like a really considered the power dynamics here well, also

628
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: like that. The weird thing about the metaphor is it

629
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: doesn't work because it's like it falls apart in the

630
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: most people and then it falls apart what he says,

631
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: but not everybody. And it's like, hey, guess what if

632
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: they were in a union, maybe even if like everybody

633
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: would have had to share their blankets, and it would

634
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: have been the right thing to do, and it would

635
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: have elevated all of us. But like it actually is,

636
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 1: like I don't know that all those like needless people

637
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: freezing to death is exactly what the Union does. This

638
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: is who you want in charge of your life is

639
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: somebody who like this is also a story apparently he's

640
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: told at like shareholder meetings, somebody who has one anecdote

641
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: that has just like fucking stabbed into their brain. Like

642
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: what the funk, man, I'm you guys have my mind

643
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: is fucking blown here. So what they one person gave

644
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: it to the other people. It's just like it doesn't

645
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: even make fucking sense. But like he thinks there's one

646
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: historical instance of selflessness and sharing that he keeps fucking

647
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: bringing up. And this is the person you want in

648
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: charge of, like your tiny mitigating factor is. I did

649
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: think this was a more classic anti union parable, and

650
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: I for a moment truly thought the punchline was going

651
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: to be and everyone who shared, all six people died,

652
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: but everybody kept the blacket for themselves at least wanted

653
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 1: six or five. Yea happen at your stores. I don't

654
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: know we're looking, they're kind of underperforming, so we may

655
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: shut him down. I don't know, I don't know. I

656
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: don't like it's it's really something else, especially when you

657
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: have this man who became a billionaire off the backs

658
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: of the people he's talking to in that room, you

659
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and just being like, hey man,

660
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm just look, I know I've been extracting all of

661
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: my wealth from your labor. I'm just asking for like

662
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: a momentary pause in the smoke and just maybe this

663
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: story will will just persuade you. I will say. Obviously,

664
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, listeners can't see the video, but maybe they

665
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: can find it. Maybe it's link in the show. I

666
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how it's on Starbucks official channel.

667
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: It is, truly though. Actually it's been a while since

668
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: I've seen like a Radisson hotel room configured quite the

669
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: way it was, because it was basically like hotel chairs,

670
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: but it was in the round. So he's like, a yeah,

671
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: just what a what an unnerving way to to your

672
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: fourced anti union speech. Very unpleasant office to say, it

673
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: did not go. I mean, I don't know, a lot

674
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: of people were just left confused. But the voting is

675
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: supposed to begin this week, actually today, but Starbucks has

676
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: been trying to delay that vote from happening. But you

677
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: know what, hats off to use Starbucks, fucking get your ship,

678
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: hands off to your assets. Yeah, let's just check in

679
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: real quick with what it's like in other countries where

680
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: a capital doesn't have all the power and people like

681
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: Howard Schultz is not like the person in charge of

682
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: making all the decisions, and like pro labor laws actually stick.

683
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: Portugal has made it so a lot of businesses are

684
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: committing to remote work being part of our new reality

685
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: and our new reality. They're giving more flexible options to

686
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 1: their employees, and you know, people are asking for their

687
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: to be like some boundaries that they can like put

688
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: up between their home life and their work life, because

689
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: that is something that will happen when you work from home.

690
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: Is that like suddenly you're just working around the clock.

691
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: And so Portugal had a kind of unique take on this. Yeah, yeah,

692
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: they're helping, you know, according to their Socialist party government

693
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: have released their new legislation that's been voted through and

694
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: these rules again meant to help these people who are

695
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: working remotely. Because also I think they're also interested in

696
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: creating a country like a culture too that would attract

697
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: more people who do remote work as well. So under

698
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: these new rules this is am employers could be penalized

699
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: for contacting employees after work and will be forced to

700
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: pay for increased expenses as a result of working from home,

701
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: like gas and electricity bills. And further, these rules will

702
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: be implemented to aid employees at home, such as banning

703
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: employers from monitoring their workers at home and ensuring workers

704
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: must meet with their boss every two months to stave

705
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: off isolation. And you're like, not everything passed. There was

706
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: a they were trying to get something called the Right

707
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: to Disconnect past, which would have been given workers ability

708
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: to switch off work devices, but that I guess was

709
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: that didn't get the votes get needed. But these are

710
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: very like common sense things like where I think companies

711
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: now as a person you have to create those boundaries

712
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: or you're like, I don't look at if that email

713
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: comes in after five, it might as well come in

714
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: at nine am tomorrow. But it's it's difficult because especially

715
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: with Americans, have this like fucked up idea of working

716
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: from home and what it means to what labor toiling

717
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: shoulders shouldn't look like that. It's easy to get like

718
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: a fucking email at eight and be like, fuck, I

719
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: work from home, so I better fucking start doing this

720
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: now when it might not be necessary. So I don't know, like,

721
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: in a way, I feel like this is something that

722
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: could happen in the US because it seems like very

723
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: common sense. But we also we live in a country

724
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: where there's a moneyed group to fucking be against anything.

725
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: So I can only imagine like the managers United fucking

726
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: like pack starting like paying for ads. It would be like,

727
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: are you like workers are fucking around? You know what?

728
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean to try and want something like this, but

729
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know refreshing to hear at least it's also

730
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: just like it's a line in the sand, but the

731
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: reality of ship like this is like these rules will

732
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: be bent, like and you know it's this is more

733
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: of like a beginning of a negotiating position, because what's

734
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: going to happen is like positively, I know technic clue

735
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do this, but could you get

736
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: these files ready? And the thing is that's like most people,

737
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: like at least Americans would be like okay, fine, and

738
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: this just hopefully would give sort of recourse to big

739
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: abuses or at least change that the power dynamic and

740
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: change the whole culture. It seems like like you said

741
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 1: a common sense thing, but I thought you were about

742
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: to give this point when you said when I've hated

743
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: a job, because let me tell you when I've hated

744
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: a job. These boundaries are so fucking defined. I'm like, yeah,

745
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: let me tell you. I'm not answering this email at

746
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: six like me, like because it's outside of work hours,

747
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: excuse me, but I guess it's it is true, Like

748
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: that's that is the sort of like thing that like, yeah,

749
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: when I when I had a day job that I hated,

750
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: it was like and I did feel unable to do

751
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: ship like this, and I absolutely would have just been like,

752
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: all right, I'll get to it. Get to it at

753
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: nine am, right when when I clock in fools. Yeah, yeah,

754
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: you can see companies being like, actually, our working hours

755
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,479
Speaker 1: are now twelve noon to eight pm. Yeah, you feel

756
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: like those are the small ways that but that's at

757
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: least defined that then it's like then you can all right,

758
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: if we're agreeing to this, then I'll get to your

759
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: ship at twelve right, right, All right, let's take a

760
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back to talk conspiracy

761
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: influencers and we're back. So, uh, Demilovado is now a

762
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: conspiracy influencer, which I feel like it's going to be

763
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: a more and more popular move. Like as of right now,

764
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of celebrities who get criticized by

765
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: people on the left just turn in a like reactionary

766
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: way to the right and the conspiracy world. But I

767
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: do feel like more and more that this is just

768
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: going to be sort of a mainstream thing for celebrities

769
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: to do. It looks like it's a check right. So Demilovado,

770
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: who has eighteen are hundred eighteen million fucking followers on Instagram,

771
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: posted to their Instagram thrilled to be and at we

772
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: are Gaya Ambassador. So this is this platform called Gaya

773
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: quote Understanding the world around us, parenthetical, the gnomes and

774
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: the unknown is so exciting to me. And you know,

775
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: Demi is promoting promoting a site that is my most

776
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: people's observations, just a hub for conspiracy theory videos like

777
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: where many are meant to look like these earnest documentaries

778
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: that are like blowing the lid on ship and you

779
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of see like the business aspects of this. Uh.

780
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,959
Speaker 1: This is from a report in The Daily Beast. Quote

781
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: on a Lovado themed Gaia page for their fans, the

782
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: singer supporters can view a free episode of a Guya

783
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: show about Quote an ancient space program before signing up

784
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: for an eleven nine monthly Guia membership. Lovado's quote handpicked

785
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: favorite shows, according to the website, include a series positing

786
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: that Atlantis was real and that humanity is living in

787
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: the aftermath of a battle between giants and lizard like

788
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: Reptilian's okay um and that's sort of like the where

789
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: you land if you go, you navigate off of their post.

790
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: So it's clear that there's a money making endeavor for sure.

791
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: But like this ship on this platform is not like

792
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 1: all just like you know, art Bell, hardy heart horror

793
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of you know, like out there stuff, Like there's

794
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 1: some truly wild shit on there. Like this is again

795
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: from their assessment of on Daily Beast Quote guyas videos

796
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: are slickly produced to look like genuine documentaries, documentaries with

797
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: some prominent figures in the anti vaccine movement. The site

798
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: also has been called Quote a hub for Q and On,

799
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: Guya's own corporate culture is a wash in conspiracy theories,

800
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: employees discussed Q and On and info wars, according to

801
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: a report from Business Insider, Confusingly, employees were told that

802
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: materials promoting a documentary about a benevolent alien species called

803
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: the quote Blue Avians required approval from the Blue Avians,

804
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: as if they were real. Look, Guya denies that allegation

805
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: miles because there's documentation. I don't know, it seems like

806
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: probably just based on what we've learned about celebrities, there's

807
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: probably more of them that are susceptible than are currently

808
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: kind of openly susceptible to this sort of thinking. And

809
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: the only thing that's sort of preventing it is I

810
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: don't know, like advisors or something. And I just feel

811
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: like more and more as there it becomes here that

812
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: there's money to be made here, that this is going

813
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: to be a thing. Yeah, I mean, it feels like

814
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: the the normal backstop against this kind of ship is

815
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: that this stuff has no like predictive value, Like like

816
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: believing in this stuff doesn't further your like understanding of

817
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: the world. It doesn't tell you what's going to happen.

818
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: Next in any sort of remote way, and it doesn't work,

819
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: like the same with the anti vax stuff. It's right,

820
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: so you can say iver mect in whatever or like

821
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: your immune systems just is good. But the reality is

822
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: it's like fucking you know, Republicans are just dying and

823
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: anti VAXs people are just dying at higher rates than

824
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: than people are vaccinated, and like you can't talk your

825
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: way out of that. So it is it just feels

826
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: like normally reality just kicks in eventually, right, Like it's

827
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: just not helpful. It doesn't give you anything to think

828
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: the world is flat you know, you're just gonna die

829
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: in a rocket crash at the extreme or like you know,

830
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: it's just it doesn't work or do anything. So I mean,

831
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't It's like usually the hard nosed Republican of it,

832
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: right is like okay, okay, but you're not a hippie lunatic.

833
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 1: We have to like, you know, these these warplanes still

834
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: need to fly, and the physics of blue avians doesn't

835
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: get us there. I don't know, just normally, like the

836
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: money people step in, I guess that's what I'm saying. No,

837
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: it's just that you don't know enough about blue Avian technology.

838
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: But sure, yeah, but it's like like, let's go, let's

839
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: fucking head to head, my my, like a college science

840
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: versus blue Avian theories. Let's go. I think it's like,

841
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at it, you the one

842
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: thing that it is the danger to me is that

843
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: by doing this, it normalizes conspiracy conspiratorial content at the

844
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: very least. It's not being like, oh, ship, you're looking

845
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: at that ship now. It's like, well, Demilovado is like

846
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: feeling this stuff, and I don't know, I might check

847
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: it out because I funk with Demi. But that's where

848
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: I see, you know, from there, I believe there's definitely

849
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: going to be a percentage of people who will get

850
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: fully pulled in now and may begin you know, it

851
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: starts off with some ship about an ancient space program

852
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: and then turns into full blown like anti Semitic, anti

853
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: black whatever, fascist nonsense. And I think that's where like,

854
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: that's the grim part of this is thinking like, oh,

855
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: you can bankroll, like you can normalize this sort of

856
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, problematic perception of the world by getting more

857
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: seemingly just mainstream celebrities cut him a check, and then

858
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: they say Hey, man, I'm sucking with guya. Come check

859
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: it out. There's some really cool stuff in there and

860
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: cut to you know, who knows what. But I guess

861
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: I guess what I mean is like that's always been there.

862
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, oh I I you know, it's like

863
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: you've all there's always been sort of like crystals becomes

864
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: protocols of the Elders of Zio. Like it's just like

865
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: it's just like that pipeline has always been there. And

866
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: I guess the Internet amplifies it and quickens it. But

867
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, like right, I guess like

868
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: if it were me right, and I'm like nineteen and

869
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: fucking you know, method man is like, yo, check out

870
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: this nine eleven video. I'm all that ship. I'm all

871
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: over that ship, you know, like where I'm like, I

872
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I funk with him heavy and if

873
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: he's saying like in his personal life is something industry,

874
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I want to I want to know.

875
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's interesting and I think that's where, you know,

876
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are susceptible to that.

877
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of ship. I thought celebrities

878
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: were like doing right, and I was like, that's pretty cool,

879
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: and I like or just like an adulthood that you like,

880
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: you know something. And it's like, so I'm saying, like,

881
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: from that hundred to eighteen million, what's that sliver of

882
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: people who you can be now converted? I think that's

883
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 1: where yeah, yeah, And it just feels like there's also

884
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: a doubling down thing happening now where in the past,

885
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: if method Man released that statement, people might you know,

886
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: criticize Method Man, and the method Man would come out

887
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: with a statement because his publicist asked him to. And

888
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: now it feels like, I don't know that, like the

889
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers thing, the Kyrie Irving thing, like there's just

890
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: sort of a you know, a willingness to just be

891
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: like no, fuck funk everything, and you know, the the

892
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: whole motive for pushing back on this sort of thing

893
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: in the past had been the profit motive, right like that, like, well,

894
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get any roles anymore or whatever. But

895
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: now if there's a concede, like a valid form of

896
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: getting rich off of this sort of ship, like, then

897
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 1: why you know not I'm not suggesting that Kyrie Irving's

898
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: agent is telling him to continue to hold out, but

899
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: like you know, Demilovado's manager might be looking at this

900
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: and being like, Okay, well still there's money. Yeah. I

901
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: mean that that is actually sort of the like upsetting thing.

902
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: I I I noticed it when the Atlanta Baseball team

903
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: like doubled down on being racist, because like previously, it

904
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: seemed at least like clear that corporate America's calculus was

905
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: that like the racist, bigoted, reality denying portion was not

906
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: the profitable portion, And now it does seem there's like

907
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: a corporate like no corporation does it out of the

908
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,959
Speaker 1: goodness of the heart. They're just trying to make money.

909
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: So like you know, as like disingenuous as like diversity

910
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: initiatives and things like that are what they at least

911
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: are is a canary in the coal mine that like

912
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: at the back of the like business analysis that is

913
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: supposedly all these people care about. They know at their

914
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: heart that like America is moving in one direction or

915
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: the world is moving in one direction. And now now

916
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: that you're seeing like major billion you know, multimillion if

917
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: not billion dollar organizations toe that line a little bit.

918
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: Like again the MLB and and the Atlanta just being like, yeah,

919
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: come on, come on in Trump, let's let's do the

920
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: tom Hawk chop and ship like that. It's like, that's

921
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: not troubling because of the on its face racism. It

922
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: is troubling that like a billionaire decided like this is

923
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: where I'm putting my chips, right, you know, that's like

924
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: regardless of personal belief So it's like at every level, right,

925
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: Like they're the people there's a group of wealthy donors

926
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: who are funding like the CRT, you know, like Outrage Ship,

927
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: and there's so many things that are now being bankrolled.

928
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: I just these wealthy people who are just doing doing

929
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: it very stealthily, yeah, and like dragging us closer to it.

930
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: But they would always do it stealthily based on their

931
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: personal beliefs. But it's the doing it publicly part that

932
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, that's now troubling. Like that means like

933
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: you got I I just assume every billionaire has repellent beliefs,

934
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: But among those repellent beliefs are a knowledge that the

935
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: rest of the world exists at like has their own

936
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: beliefs and you have to manipulate them. I don't know,

937
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: but I feel like the the idea of like woke

938
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: values had has become like they do the you know,

939
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: pure gesture, not like actually anything substitutive, like thing addressing

940
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: racism or misogyny. But it's by removing an episode of

941
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: a show that has like black concenter or something, and

942
00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: then that has become associated with, well, that's what woke

943
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: culture is. That's what criticizing you know, the tomahawk chop

944
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: as racist is. And I feel like there is a

945
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: mainstream cultural like backlash now where like woke has become

946
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: like associated with like, oh, the stupid thing that was

947
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: that was a big deal and and now is like

948
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: people are agreeing was like bad woke worrying about stuff

949
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: that's not even like a big deal actually really. And

950
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: also again it's just a thought killing cliche because now

951
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: James Carville can rather than you know, address like the

952
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: actual failings of the Democratic Party and you know, neoliberal platform,

953
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: like this whole ideology, it's just saying it's just the

954
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: woke stuff killed everything, and that word is enough you'll

955
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: go yeah, yea, rather than getting your fucking hands dirty

956
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, they're working people, poor people who

957
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: are not getting anything delivered. That was promised to them,

958
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: and why the fuck, Like, yeah, they're supposed to just

959
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: feel good about that. No, but it's easier to just

960
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: say throw out woke. Have CNN posit that question to

961
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: other senators and just completely shift the argument to say like, oh,

962
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: is being humane? Like is that woke? But rather than

963
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, underlining that, it's just easier to just go

964
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: down this debate. Yeah, but it's like the the embrace

965
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: of like the pure opposite of that, like the actual

966
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: like let's have Trump do the tomahawk chop, let's bring

967
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: him in. That's that's the thing. That's like even you know,

968
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: like every every fucking you know corporation embraces right wing values.

969
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: They it's always as far right as they think they

970
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: can get away with. And the fact that what they

971
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: think they can get away with has visibly shifted, I think,

972
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: is you're like that that means the fundamentals of America

973
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: are different than yeah, yeah, because what the most defense

974
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: the League had was like, well, we didn't invite him.

975
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: He like, I know, he said we invited him, but

976
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: he asked to go, and then we gave them tickets.

977
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: And it's still like the real thing would have just

978
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: said fuck off, dude. Yeah, it's like, hey, this is

979
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: just not a good time for the audience. We're trying

980
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: to cultivate like Mr President blah blah blah whatever, or

981
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: don't put TV like cameras on him. All tons of

982
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: ship they could do, right, because we seem to be

983
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: like from a cultural perspective, we seem to be just

984
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: cycling back through the same sort of values and periods

985
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: and events over and over again. I'm starting to wonder

986
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: if we're like headed for the anti woke like eighties

987
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties again, where it's like fucking you know, Reagan

988
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: culturally like was the thing and like conservatism was the thing,

989
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: and that was like reaction to you know, economic slowdown

990
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: and like the seventies and people. I think hopefully culture

991
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: is at least fractured enough, and like people, media is

992
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: not you know, good and bad way not such a

993
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: stranglehold such that, like you know, because the reality is

994
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: like in the eighties though that was the quote unquote

995
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: culture people were speaking up against. It just didn't have Twitter,

996
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: and like, you know, whole fully that remains the bulwark

997
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: against that ship. I guess maybe not as you see,

998
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, as we and other things, like the mainstream

999
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: media still has a like center right to hard right

1000
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: editorial remit but you know, hopefully it's like at least

1001
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: you can say other ship like for now right, yeah,

1002
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: when there's again when they take all the books out

1003
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: of libraries and leave it with men are from Mars,

1004
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: women are from Venus, the Bible, and a little gems.

1005
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: That's the most. That's pretty that's too subversive, my dude.

1006
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully that the yeah Larson is a visionary mile They

1007
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: won't know. No, I'm just saying this sneaks in because

1008
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: it's a comic and they completely don't understand the commentary

1009
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, that's one. Other dudes were rocking

1010
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Big Johnson. I was rocking Farside T shirts. Okay, That's

1011
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: how I let them know I was sensitive. Okay, Andrew,

1020
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: I will just say the shirt. Maybe you've seen it

1021
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram, but one of the shirts we're selling is

1022
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: straight up the dumbest thing that has ever happened on

1023

Speaker 1: our show. And I'm so proud of it. And I'll

1024
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: just leave it at that. I can't wait to see

1025
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: what it is. I thought you were saying that whole

1026
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: phrase was the T shirt. I'll just say it's it's

1027
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: one of those like hell Vetica ampersand shirts. What it says,

1028
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: duck around and find out, duck and around and and

1029

1031
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: that is so dumb brilliant. Is there a tweet or

1032
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: some of the work of social media you've been enjoying. Yes,

1033
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: there are two things. One we talked about Dune. I

1034
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: was looking for the source for this meme and I

1035
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: couldn't find its. Apologies in advance, but it's a fake

1036
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: subtitled still from Dune when they're on the little prison

1037
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: planet and it opens on sarda car throat singing and

1038
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: then the second panel of the meme is it goes

1039
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: back to all the soldiers and it just says the

1040
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: ship slaps. Like having seen that me and before I

1041
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: went into the theater, I laughed out loud that like,

1042
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: this is so dumb, and I think that honestly motivated

1043
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: me to see that movie. I was like, I just

1044
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: want to see the throat singing and see the see

1045
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: the soldiers groofing out to the throat singing. Miles where

1046
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: can people find you? What is the tweet you've been enjoying?

1047
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray

1050
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: that ninety days ship. Some tweets that I like, let

1051
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: me get this one in uh couple actually uh. This

1052
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: is from James Austin Johnson at Shrimp j J quote.

1053
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: This is just a quote says TV does not get

1054
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: better than this, and then he says, eight year old

1055

Speaker 1: me watching wind Benstein's money understanding throw percent of what

1056
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: is being said. I was just like, yep, I loved it.

1057
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: I was I think of that. I was punching way

1058
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: above in that era too, and this next one is

1059
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: from what past guest at your underscore telling parents of

1060
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: a crying baby handle that motherfucker, I will, and then

1061
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: gently rocking that motherfucker to sleep. That's great, let's see

1062
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: Max wu at Max Upo tweeted starting to believe the

1063
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,640
