8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: chressing legs. Yeah, they're crossing legs towards each other. That's

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: an unequivocal sex invite. Yeah, I think was the line,

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 1: and that that's that's not true. Turns up crossing where

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: someone is not an unequivocal sex invite. But I did

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: like take that to be a fact when I saw

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,040

18
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: is and isn't real about this thing called puberty. Yes, yes, well,

00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: him is how hard and thoroughly he got to the

26
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,000

42
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, God, I mean, if you think Bernie made

43
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Off was bad, there's a lot more people walking the

44
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: earth today free doing their job. Yeah, doing their job

45
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: ripping people off and being open about it, but you know,

46
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: finding ways to manipulate relationships and laws and loopholes to

47
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: get away with. Yeah, a lot of made offs around. Yeah. No,

48
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: mad Land is trending. We we kind of briefly mentioned this,

49
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: but so No. Mad Land is the Francis McDormand movie

50
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: where she plays like somebody who lives in a town

51
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: that got shut down because of the crumbling economy and

52
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: then now and her husband died and now she just

53
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: kind of lives out of a van and like there's

54
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: a whole community of people. It was based on a

55
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: nonfiction book about this community of people who kind of

56
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: live in bands and just uh, you know, drive from

57
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: get gig to gig and in this gig economy of areas.

58
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking at the time, like it shows

59
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Amazon as like a you know, giant, massive, not like

60
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: very humanizing place to work, but it does you know,

61
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: she is able to have like community with the people

62
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: who work there and there's like warm relationships between the

63
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: workers at this Amazon warehouse. Yes it is patrolled by

64
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: a robot, but like it just it doesn't really like

65
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: it just kind of passes by those details of what

66
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: life is like at the gig economy. It doesn't really

67
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: pick them up and spend time with it. And so

68
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: people are kind of saying, it's weird that this is

69
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: the front runner for Best Picture at a time when

70
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: we're as a culture kind of coming to terms with

71
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: just how bad uh a On is to head in

72
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: the same that's just the culture. You know, we're not

73
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: able to look the truth in its eye and then

74
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: respond to it, where if the truth is too ugly,

75
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: we will completely bring up the fucking preservation mechanisms to

76
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: either distract ourselves with something else or begin writing articles

77
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: that have nothing to do with the truth of what

78
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: we're all seeing. And yeah, that I can that, Like

79
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: it's frustrating, but then it makes sense. You're like, oh,

80
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: but this movie is like it kind of shows like

81
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of cold in there. That's kind of true,

82
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: but at the time, I like how awful in general,

83
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: like the idea that people who are our parents age

84
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: are grandparents ages, where you're like, oh, y'all should be

85
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: able to like not fucking work. Like I wish we

86
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: had a society set up where at a certain point, like,

87
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: thank you for giving your labor to this system, Now

88
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: you can chill. Unfortunately, we backloaded, so you have to

89
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: go through all this bullshit before you can rest it.

90
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: And the movie isn't like just like traveling to survive.

91
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, no, I mean that's the thing. That's

92
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: why I'm like a little bit uh, you know, of

93
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: two minds with this critique, because first of all, it's like,

94
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, a work of art, and so uh documentary,

95
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: it's not a documentary, even though it is like that's

96
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: kind of what it's getting credit for is being both

97
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: like a split between a future and documentary. But it's

98
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: also like the overall like effect that you get is

99
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: not like pro capitalism, right, Like it's more, uh, these

100
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: people are just having to move just to survive and

101
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: just having to you know, like work and play, like

102
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: live among the remnants of previous generations success just to

103
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: get by. Um. And yeah it's not it's not like

104
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: things are great and Amazon is our hero. It's like

105
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: a very it's more news but like people are pointing

106
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: out that the nonfiction book that it is based on

107
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: like head details such as a seventy year old Camper

108
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: Force worker. That's like the thing where people come with

109
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: their campers and like Amazon provides a RV park basically

110
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: where they can all live and then they work for

111
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: Amazon for like a period around the holidays. I think. Um,

112
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: But in the nonfiction book, one of the Camper First

113
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: Force workers was stationed near a conveyor belt and a

114
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: box flew off and knocked him down, causing him to

115
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: hit his head. Uh, and Amazon's in house medics determined

116
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: he hadn't suffered a concussion. Uh, and he was sent

117
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: back to the job. That Amazon in house medics determined

118
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: he hadn't suffered concussion is the most it's so wild,

119
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: like that they have medics ready to tell you to

120
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: go back to work like that. That is an expense

121
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: they're willing to pay, not to create a work environment

122
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: where you can you can't like walk off the job.

123
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, are these what are these? How are these

124
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: are these professionally trained medics? Oh no, no, no, there

125
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: are people who are Before you can actually move into

126
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: corporate HR, you have to be you're in house medicining.

127
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: The just was like, no, that ain't no concussion. Yeah

128
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: you're good. You're like, you don't even do anything. You

129
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: just ask me how how how hard I hit my head? Um? Okay, great,

130
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: mm hmm. Anyways, Uh, definitely a worthy conversation. I think

131
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: anything that can draw attention to how fucked the worker

132
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: conditions are for the gig workers in Amazon and just

133
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: gig workers in general, I think it is probably worthwhile.

134
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: But I haven't seen the film. I know what it's about,

135
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: and I've seen like sort of isolated clips, but over all,

136
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: does it would it make someone be like, oh that

137
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: sucks for for this for these people, I think? Or

138
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: is it kind of like balanced? You like that sucks,

139
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: but also you know like at least it's all right,

140
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: like they got some stuff. It feels like post apocalyptic,

141
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: like the whole thing feels like they are, uh, living

142
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: in the ruins of a shattered culture. That's what you

143
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: get from the Amazon part, where like I said, there

144
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: are like these rolling robots that are like zooming around

145
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: on the floor that where they're working, And the idea

146
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: that I got from it is that like they are

147
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: this is like sort of a in the way that

148
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: a lot of post apocalyptic movies are like, this is

149
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: the story about the resilience of the human spirit. Like

150
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of like that, where like they're finding ways

151
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: to bond and like have fun conversations with each other

152
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: despite the fact that uh, it's just complete hell they

153
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: I think the way that we're gonna have to get

154
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: to a point where people started actually realizing what the

155
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: funk this actually means that people in their seventies are like, well,

156
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: my retirement plan is to have the little bit of

157
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: cash I have to buy a mobile shelter, so I'm

158
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: technically unhoused and travel from gig to gig to just

159
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: eke out a living at my age. And I think

160
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: that we need like the fucking in the arms of

161
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: It Angel treatment where it's old white people and unfortunately's

162
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: gonna to be old white people because they're like puppies

163
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: for for white people in this country where they're like

164
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: dirty and Amazon warehouses for people be like, oh shit,

165
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: that's not how I want Nana to live. Because just

166
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: explaining people in their seventies and there in their twilight

167
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: years are having to live like this is still like

168
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: still obscure and I remember reading that New York Times

169
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: article years ago when like this first thing sort of

170
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: emerged about like boomers finding their retirement in mobile homes

171
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: and ship how Like immediately I was like, that's so

172
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: fun it. Yeah, I guess everyone's gonna get that message

173
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: a different way. Second degree murder is trending, as is

174
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: Kim Potter's name. Kim Potter is the police officer who

175
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: murdered Dante right Uh in a traffic stop. Look at

176
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: that already second degree manslaughter. That's interesting. That was quick

177
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: being held without bail because a lot of things they're

178
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: saying was they were just looking at her duty belt,

179
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: you know where she has all her equipment, and the

180
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: taser is on the left side, the handgun is on

181
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,599
Speaker 1: the right side. And the way that they are holstered

182
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: is that they are essentially um. The grips are like

183
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: facing the rear, so you can draw, like with your

184
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: right hand, draw from the holster on your right hip

185
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: versus like if if it were reversed, you might cross

186
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: your waist to draw your gun. Because the the handles

187
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: facing outward. So they're saying, like, you know what side

188
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: your ship is on, and based on the direction orientation

189
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: of the handle. You drew your gun, right, you didn't.

190
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: You didn't think you drew your your fucking taser, And

191
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: so they're like, yeah, this this uh, something kind of

192
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: clear that I don't think this is an accident, aside

193
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: from maybe verbalizing it for the camera to deliver your

194
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: attempt at an academy award or most racist goon trying

195
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: to pretend that they're human. Oh shoot, I shot him.

196
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: M hm. I don't know about that. And the other

197
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: thing too is knowing that I think she was the

198
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: head of the police union or whatever over there like

199
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: they you know, because there's plenty of stories talking about

200
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: how the heads of the police unions are typically someone

201
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: like you are the person getting in the way of

202
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, you're covering for officers that kill people. Yeah,

203
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: you step in. There's a and another right up there

204
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: talking about how and one of these shootings, like in

205
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: the investigation saw the first person an officer after they

206
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: shot someone killed them as they lay dying, was a

207
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: text to the head of the union, the police union,

208
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to explain what just happened, more than calling for backup,

209
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: more than other things like yo, this just happened that

210
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: because that's what they do. And yeah, there's just so

211
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: many Yeah, I mean the police unions and many times,

212
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: many times are the ones who if the police are criticized,

213
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: are the like they're the tip of the spear in

214
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: terms of just like the toxic ideology of like you said,

215
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: what about us, you can talk about us that way,

216
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: like let's go back at them. I mean we've we

217
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: saw that with just the New York police union response

218
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: where they and even then the protests they were flying

219
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: a blue Lives Matter flag that the cops send up

220
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: they start flying flags. Yeah. And also yeah, and they

221
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: were they were told by uh there was a city

222
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: council vote where they were like you can't shoot at

223
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: the people anymore, like you can't shoot tear gas, you

224
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: can't do any of this ship and the police completely

225
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: ignored that. So just wildly unaccountable, seemed to be just

226
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: responding to hurt feelings. Uh as they as that's been

227
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: their entire m O, This entire you know movement to

228
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter movement is to act like you're

229
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: being personally attacked and then use your military grade weaponry

230
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: to have a temper tantrum um. And this I don't

231
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,479
Speaker 1: know what the I don't know where this how, this

232
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: this evolution, like what's going to happen exactly? Because there

233
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: they are, they're being looser and looser. Uh you know,

234
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: nearly damn near three people were killed every day by

235
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: police in and I don't know what what they how

236
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: they think they're gonna spin this in any way other

237
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,359
Speaker 1: than I don't know, maybe we'll just see more breakdancing

238
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: police viral videos or something to try and be like, no,

239
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: it's not just that stuff, because I hope at this

240
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: point people's opinions really you really need to start thinking

241
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: about what what law enforcement actually means and what safety

242
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: actually means, because for too long we're just going to

243
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: hook line and sinker mouths open, being like whatever you

244
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: feed me, Like, okay, cop good, Yeah, we like cops great.

245
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: There are people too, and they are, but the way

246
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: policing works creates a system and a whole army of

247
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: non humans who look at many other people as being

248
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: subhuman and therefore their lives not being worth anything, and

249
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with safety. Anthony Edwards is

250
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: trending happiers now. Anthony Edwards the number one, number one

251

Speaker 1: news story that A Rod is putting together a ownership

258
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: group to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves. And he was asked

259
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: how he felt about it, and he was like, I

260
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:29,119
Speaker 1: don't know who that is about a Rod? Uh And

00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: and I think he's for real. I mean, yeah, I

262
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: think so. I think he just like I don't know,

263
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: he's young, and yeah, yeah, but do you if you

264
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: weren't around, if you weren't like paying attention when he

265
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: was in the league, you know, yeah, I like you

266
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: about baseball, like for as athletes, You're like, you want

267
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: that a Rod money like this Colloquially A Rod is

268
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: known as the dude who secured one of the heaviest

269
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: acts of all time. Um, and you want that. But

270
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it really matters because I just I

271
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: also love him when especially when he was talking that

272
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Irish reporter and he's like, I like that tough, tough

273
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: like that, could you ask that question again? So in

274
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: a way, I mean, yeah, he's definitely very endearing. So

275
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: I think anything away from Dr Mark Green, Texas rolling blackouts,

276
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: they almost sucked that one up again because of like

277
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: they were expecting at cold front, so we're not expecting

278
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: a lot of air conditioning being needed and the cold

279
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: front never hit, and they were like, hey man, we

280
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: dodged a bullet. I know, you guys thought we were bad,

281
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: but we came real close to have him rolling blackouts again,

282
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: but we dodged a bullet. And it's like, because the

283
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: temperature projections were like twenty degrees off, you guys were

284
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: almost you were like on the edge of having another disaster.

285
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: This place is. If we weren't so comfortable as fucking

286
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: consumers at every other level this there, we would literally

287
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: like other countries at this point are everybody's in the streets? Yeah,

288
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like the infrastructure so clearly

289
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: falling apart there. Fucking energy system in tax is an

290
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: absolute joke. And I think I don't know how much

291
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: longer everybody until we figure out like a lot has

292
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: to change very fucking quickly. Mm hm. The idea that

293
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: they're like, oh god, we didn't know it's gonna be

294
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,720

00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: to be like, hey man, we might have to have

297
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: some blackouts because of this ship. Like that is such

298
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: a low level of like expectations for the people running

299
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: such an important uh system. It's just like that's you

300
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't forgive anyone for being like, it's a little hotter

301

Speaker 1: York and he used to be a cop baby and

309
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,760

313
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: I say it? When we first time, he's so cop brained.

314
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: If you've it's like he ceased to become a human

315

Speaker 1: because he only sees up like perp and officer buying Arry. Yeah.

316

00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: you how to go through your own house and see

318
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,680

Speaker 1: to talk about it so much even after we recorded.

328
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,880
