1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza. 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really, 5 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: what's a myth? What's something people think is true that 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: you know based on your personal experience? H this is okay? 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: So this weekend? Okay? So I would say, I would 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: say this myth is that you should talk about things 9 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: that upset you in a public place. But I think 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: this is true. I was with a friend from college 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: this weekend. We went to Denny's, and I was talking 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: about the most public of places, the most public. We 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: were fully in the atwater Denny's, getting into the think 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: of it hadn't caught up in a while, and we 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: like gone on to this like I was basically just 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: like talking with her about one of the worst things 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: that had ever happened to me. And it was like 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: kind of an emotional versation and we were talking and 19 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: drinking coffee, and then all of a sudden, who let 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: the Dogs Out came on full blast in the restaurant 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: and we just like looked at each other like, we 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: have to stop talking. This conversation is over inappropriate with 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: this music on, and I was like, I think I'm 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: actually over it now because so, yeah, talk about talk 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: about your past traumas in Denny's. I think it is 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: my recommendation. Yeah, because their their radio is wild. Maybe 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: we'll have to have that be a preloaded sound drop 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: we do when people start getting really like dark Ship, 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: then sudden we just nick hit it. Guys just talking 30 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: about Mike anyway, You're like, I was talking about how 31 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: my father left, and they're just like, your should have 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: remixed it by the guy who wrote that song credits 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: the forty Laws of Power for giving him thence for it. Now, 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't like nearly everybody in hip hop, fluid in 35 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Kanye and jay Z Drake, everybody. Now, I want to 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: talk about this sort of narrative of Trump being on 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: a winning streak. People are saying that his popularity is 38 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: surging because it's up I think two percentage points into 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: the low forties, which is good for him. Um, I 40 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: do want to talk about something that I think is 41 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: empowering this. I don't want to get into that narrative 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: of Trump is great at his job. I do think 43 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: that there's a way in which he sucks at his 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: job that is actually making it possible for him to 45 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: have those wins. And that is just complete and utter shamelessness. 46 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: And the thing that crystallized this for me was the 47 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: North Korea meeting and the sending of the letter and 48 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: where he came out strong the meeting wasn't happening, where 49 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: calling it off because you've mistreated us, and then immediately 50 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: was willing to completely backtrack on that, which seems weird. 51 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: But I also think it's worth noting that there's not 52 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: a single president we've ever had. I don't think who 53 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: would be shameless enough to do that, to just you know, 54 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: be like that inconsistent. Yeah, just just there's no logic, 55 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: there's no reasoning, there's nothing, there's no idea that he 56 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: has to be this solid leader. He's just whatever at 57 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: the moment grabs. It's it's like playing out like I 58 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: messages thread between him and Kim John exactly, you don't come, 59 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to see you're asking I'm sorry, baby, 60 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: okay with in June twelve. Yeah, like yeah, and this 61 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: could go either like yeah, it's like a relationship between 62 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: two like nineteen year olds. Maybe that's what's reality television. 63 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: If anything, I feel like this the only possible positive 64 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: spin on this is that the people around Trump are 65 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: get better at leveraging his weaknesses to make something good happen. 66 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: He has nothing to do with him as an individual. 67 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: He's still a fucking loser. But I don't know, do 68 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: you think can you call the North Korea summit a 69 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: win at all at any point? Because I honestly, North 70 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: Korea wins a lot more just by even getting this 71 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,559 Speaker 1: summit then we do. Yeah, sure, maybe three prisoners were 72 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: like released, but aside from that, like you know, there's 73 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: a lot that North Korea gainst, especially Kim John Oon 74 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: gains in the propaganda wars that he has not been 75 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: able to be seen legitimately, like you know, by other 76 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: powers because he hasn't met with like real world leaders 77 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: because they won't do it. And for him to get 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: this opportunity, like you know, that picture is gonna be 79 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: on like on fucking T shirts already, Like they love 80 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: the envelope that he was holding when like the ex 81 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: spy chief of North Korea came to hand deliver that 82 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: letter to Trump over the weekend. What a weird photograph. 83 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: Look like it was photoshops to make the envelope huge. Yeah, exactly, 84 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: his hands to face. That could be genius. Strolling from 85 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: North Korea to They're like, yo, get the biggest fucking 86 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: imbo you can get, going to get the photo of 87 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: him holding it. So it looks very uncanny Valley. There's 88 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: a polar express quality. It really looks like it could 89 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: have been designed by your guy from who designed the 90 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: Chuck e cheese Like he he could be in the 91 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Presidents shoutout factor. Yeah, that's a fair point. 92 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: And a lot of this sort of surging and you know, 93 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,559 Speaker 1: Trump being seen in a slightly more favorable light could 94 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: easily just be that the mainstream media narrative of holy shit, 95 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: this guy is constantly fucking up and such a total 96 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: funk up has just become exhausting. We knew that was 97 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: going to happen eventually, that the mainstream media was going 98 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: to be like, nobody wants to hear about him screwing 99 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: up anymore. People. People are in the mood for optimism, 100 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: so it would pretend, oh, like he totally fucked up 101 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: and so good that we're in a war. I don't 102 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: know how at that point, what you do, I mean, 103 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 1: you got to keep the pressure on him and people 104 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: have to remember how bad he is because for exactly 105 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: the reason that people will become like apathyl set in 106 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: and then this will become totally normal. And next thing 107 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, we have even more white supremacist and nazi 108 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: fucking candidates running for office and people want to put 109 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: them on CNN, like, yeah, let's hear this guy out. 110 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: He says, African Americans have I accused twenty points. Get 111 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the funk? What the funk is going on? Yeah, So, anyway, 112 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: I guess the pressure. My only thought with the North 113 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: Korea thing is that the difference between now and in 114 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: the past is that they do have intercontinental ballistic missiles 115 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: that can potentially reach America now, and I think other 116 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: presidents may have been more in keeping with general military 117 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: strategies of like being hard line and maybe not meeting 118 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: with him, and he's just so fucking thirsty for a 119 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: win and shameless that he will call off the meeting 120 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: and then be like, no, I never called off the meeting. 121 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: You called off the meeting. You're an idiot, You're lying 122 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: moving on, And another shameless thing that he's doing that. 123 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: I definitely don't think is seen as a win, but 124 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: it just is. Another example of just staggering shamelessness is 125 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: he and his lawyers are laying the groundwork for him 126 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: to pardon himself. It's crazy though too, Like they were 127 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: really clear, like, well, he is the embodiment of the law, 128 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: therefore he cannot obstruct it to be It's really and 129 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: you know that's going to be like an event. Oh yeah, 130 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: I hope he pardons himself as if he is a turkey, 131 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: the smaller version of himself, and he's like it's or 132 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: like normally when he pardons a turkey, he's like, and 133 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: today I will pardon myself President Donald Trump. Ha ha ha, 134 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: I am god. Yeah, But so's if we approach it 135 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: like the turkey, it's like, okay, we pardon you, but 136 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: it's still okay for you to be killed and eating 137 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: right this way, they talk about like their their logic 138 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: about him basically saying, well, I can't strucked because I 139 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: am the law is saying, quote, the Constitution leaves no 140 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: question that the president has executive authority over the ultimate 141 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: conduct and disposition of all criminal investigations and over those 142 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: executive branch officials responsible for conducting those investigations. Thus a 143 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: set forth more fully below. As a matter of law 144 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: and common sense, the president cannot obstruct himself or subordinates 145 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: acting on his behalf. Yeah, okay, And a lot of 146 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: the shamelessness is just him knowing that he has a 147 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: portion of the population that will support him no matter what, 148 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: because racism. Well, also people who are like the constitutions. 149 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: If you read that ship, you would understand that this 150 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: is basically the antithesis of what the people were trying 151 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: to do when they wrote the constitution. Yeah, and also 152 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: just laws of human society, like the pope can't even 153 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: pardon himself. No kings like so many throughout the history 154 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: of the world, so many kings have been deposed and 155 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: like beheaded, and uh, you know, that's just not a 156 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: thing you ever give, even people with absolute authority the 157 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: power to do like you can't just be like and 158 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: I hereby treat myself as the convicting question and give 159 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: myself an excuse. It just doesn't. This is just like 160 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: more high level trolling, like what what that? And just 161 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: he shows you, I mean it's heat. No, this is 162 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: clearly you don't have to start talking like this. You know, 163 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: you're trying to inoculate your base into being like, hey, 164 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm just letting you on. Know. When I do this 165 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: and people act like I can't do it, you can 166 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: point to this letter saying why I pardon myself because 167 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: things look increasingly more and more difficult for him. Sounds 168 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: like democracy to me, Yeah right, I mean like, yeah, 169 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: I think, and many people, like people have always said 170 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: throughout this whole thing, none of his actions are the 171 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: actions of an innocent person. And I don't think anyone 172 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: has any question that there's some some kind of ship 173 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: went down. We don't know to what extent, but this 174 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: just smacks of just guilt and doing whatever you have 175 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: to to to avoid responsibility. If you had any self 176 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: awareness about whether or gave a ship, whether you appeared 177 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: guilty or innocent, you would not even broach the subject 178 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 1: of pardoning yourself. Weirdly, Giuliani on the Sunday Shows yesterday 179 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: was like, and he would probably be immediately impeached, So 180 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: we were not even raising the issue of that. But 181 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: he could, But he could, I want, because it's like random, 182 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: He's still trying to like play the reason card, where 183 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: it's like, of course, because that would upend the constitution 184 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: and full blown constitutional cris Do you guys think you 185 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: said high high level trolling. I had this specific thought 186 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: when I was listening to you guys last week talk 187 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: about the Milania thing, that it almost seems do you 188 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: think there's anyone in that organization who is sort of 189 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: programming the mainstream media and social media to focus on 190 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: these other, like stupid bullshit problems. And because the milan 191 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: A thing is so weird and so specific, like that, 192 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: she's not appearing in the media, and then they put 193 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: out that statement where it was clearly written by Trump 194 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: and it was almost intentionally seems like it could have 195 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: been intentionally suspicious. Do you think there's any chance that 196 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: they're just doing this too, you know, force the opposition 197 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: to burn calories? No, I mean I think that there's 198 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: something to that. I don't know. It's it's hard to 199 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: think too hard about that without going down like a 200 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: conspiracy rab rabbit hole. But I mean this White House, 201 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: I mean most white has it, but like this why 202 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: has in particular is definitely good at the misdirect of 203 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: being like, hey, like and they don't mind because Trump 204 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: is such a fucking idiot, Like they don't mind selling 205 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: him out and making him look like an idiot to 206 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: distract from something actually sinister that is happening, right, Yeah, 207 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: but also that Milania things just sort up played out 208 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: in a very organic way, or it's like we haven't 209 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: seen her in a long time. I think they're straight 210 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: up plagiarizing Shelley Miscabbage and they're just like they're like, yeah, 211 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: this turned some heads back in the day, maybe we 212 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: could do it high. In my mind, I really just 213 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: think she is like burning out trying to like deal 214 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: with all that ship. I don't know. I feel like 215 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: there's also a version where she just doesn't was like Millennia, 216 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: will you come out to this, and he's like, no, 217 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: not going anywhere anymore. Yeah, and then it just sort 218 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: of like, after like weeks, you're like, damn, she hadn't 219 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: showed up anywhere. And then people start speculating, and then 220 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: there's a response. I don't know if they're like, Okay, 221 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: is what you gonna do. You can stay in the shadows. 222 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: You can be in the cut for five weeks, and 223 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: then people can be like, where's Milanni, and then we 224 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: can use that to cause a distraction. I think there's 225 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: so many around in a disguise, Like when Bono got 226 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: into that bike accident and they found out that Bono 227 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: travels around New York dressed as a rabbi, got into 228 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: like a near fatal biking accident, and they were like, weird, 229 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: this rabbi who got in this biking accident, as they 230 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: were putting him in the ambulance, has a fake beard 231 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: on and this is a disguise and they pulled it 232 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: off and it was for me too. He was like, Yeah, 233 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: this is how I get around, like without being obbed 234 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: by people. He's like, yeah, where are you staying on 235 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: Broadway and East Gutary Trump has decided to disinvite the 236 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Eagles to the White House because, as the video package 237 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: on Fox News showed, the Eagles all were kneeling during 238 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: the anthem. Uh so there's social justice warrior, non patriot. 239 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, that was a video of them actually 240 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: kneeling in prayer or players from the season before who 241 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: don't even play on the team anymore, right, and there 242 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: are no players on the team currently who kneeled during 243 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: the anthem, But basically a couple of them had said 244 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: they aren't interested in visiting the White House because they 245 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: disagree with the Trump administration on everything. Yeah, that's that's 246 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: what was funny about it, is that they're like because 247 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: they want to kneel, and it was like, no, no, 248 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: they just a lot more than that. Yeah, you just 249 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: got naf ammed. You're like three up outrage, some kind 250 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: of fig outrage here would go. Yeah, and it's really 251 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: Trump's number one move is you know, dump them before 252 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: they dump you. That's what he did with Kim Jong. 253 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: That's what he's doing with the Eagles. Maybe he hopes 254 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna work, right, Yeah, maybe it's gonna come back 255 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be like that. He thinks the Eagles 256 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: are gonna be like we're sorry. I'll be like, okay, 257 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: you can come to my hair. Yeah. It's just so 258 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: disingenuous and like when Fox put that package together, like 259 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: and people just called them out immediately to come back 260 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: and be like, oh, that was a mistake, But clearly 261 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: they were crafting together as much images to try and 262 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: create this narrative that was complete, this total bullshit. Yeah, 263 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: it's wild. It's wild that just how much misinformation is 264 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: just being put out right, just blatantly and then trying 265 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: to just walk it back by like, oh, this was 266 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: a mistake, Like no, normally journalists get fired for stuff 267 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, well Fox, this is different. Yeah, we'll 268 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, it's funny because I don't think 269 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the only team not going to 270 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: the White House, because as Lebron James said, he said, 271 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: no matter who wins the finals, ain't nobody really wants 272 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: to go to the White House, So don't worry about us. 273 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: And then Steve Kerr came out and was like, yeah, 274 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: maybe things will return to normal in three years. That 275 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: is optimistic. It's also interesting that they mistook people kneeling 276 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: in prayer for people kneeling during the anthem, because those 277 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: are equally conspicuous on field displays of you know, personal 278 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: belief and you know, taking a political stance. But everybody's 279 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: really okay with, especially people on the right, or okay 280 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: with kneeling in prayer, and in fact, probably it makes 281 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: them like the players better when they kneel in prayer. 282 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: Remember how people love t Bow no matter how bad 283 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: he sucked, and they really tried to keep up in 284 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: the league no matter how bad he sucked. And then 285 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: the other guy. Then the black guy tried kneeling, and 286 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: no matter how good he was, they could not put 287 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: him on a team. Right, Yeah, Well it's funny. We 288 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: were speculating what that umber look like of how many players, 289 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: like what that threshold was for to activate Petty Trump 290 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: less than ten players. The Eagles said that they didn't 291 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: want to go and that was too much of a 292 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: slight plenty for President impotence. Jeff Bezos called a meeting 293 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: around the holidays. This is common. He has like daily 294 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: meetings that they referred to as like the war room. 295 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't know where they came up with that. That's brilliant. 296 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: Uh but uh so he takes customer service very seriously, 297 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: just for context, the way that he will he reads 298 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: every email that comes to him. He's still if you 299 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: want to email Jeff Bezos, you can Jeff at Amazon 300 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: dot com and he will read your email. He reads 301 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: everything because he's like an actual supercomputer. We will get 302 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: him to acknowledge. We will start. Have you have you 303 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: emailed him? I'm gonna start. We haven't. We just found 304 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: this out today and that is going to be at 305 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: least fifty of our time from week home up in Hollywood. Um. 306 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: But then he will forward emails that are critical of 307 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: products or services that Amazon provides to the person in 308 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: charge of that with just a question mark. And that's 309 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: got just such a fucking powerful so. Uh. I've also 310 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: heard from people who were considering jobs at Amazon and they, 311 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, talk to other people worked at Amazon, and 312 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: these are people. To work at Amazon, you have to 313 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of success and like you know, have 314 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: had a career up to that point. You have to 315 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: have been a successful business person. Uh. And they said 316 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: that people regularly cry in the office, like just regularly 317 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: get because I know the warehouses Like, so that is bad, 318 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, those people cry because they just don't get breaks. 319 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: But but the executives and executives regularly are broken down 320 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: into tears. But just a great illustration of what that 321 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: looks like. So during an executive meeting around the holidays, 322 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: he had gotten maybe a couple of emails in his 323 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: inbox about their slow customer service time and how long 324 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: it takes when somebody calls in to get somebody to 325 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: answer the phone. And the VP of customer service was like, look, 326 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: we are, according to my reports, down to under a minute. 327 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, Jeff Bezos, And 328 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: he was like, oh really, where let's see and he 329 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: called Amazon Customer Service, put it on speaker phone in 330 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: this meeting, and just waited and made just intense eye 331 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: contact with everybody in the room as stretched on for 332 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: a minute, two minutes, three minutes, by four minutes. It 333 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: might as well have been like a year and a 334 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: half because everyone was just like had sweat all of 335 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: the water in their body out. Uh. And then the 336 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: person finally answered the phone and was like, can I 337 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: help you? And he was like nah and hung up 338 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: the phone. So that VP apparently resigned less than a 339 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: year later. And that's the sort of fucking no bullshit 340 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: craziness that it takes to to run Amazon. So my guy, 341 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: don't lie if something can be so easily verified, like yeah, 342 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: we're done under a minute. Yeah, oh motherfucker, maybe that's 343 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: kind of a thing that's not able to be measured, 344 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: because yeah, but that's their record time. But you know 345 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: what if you called it like a high volume, like 346 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: what are you saying just at this point you're saying, 347 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: I need customer service people just standing on deck, not 348 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: doing anything, waiting for the moment you know that someone 349 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: calls and and at that point you're just kind of 350 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: throwing away money like that's someone's decision to go. We 351 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: can't just that's a really good point. You know, you 352 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: can't make broad decisions about you know, customer service. But 353 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean the way that Amazon runs their businesses, they 354 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: will just spend and spend and spend until they have 355 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: the best possible product, the best you know, solution to 356 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: a problem, and not worry about, you know, cutting costs 357 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: or whatever. That's why they you know, we're never profitable. 358 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: But that's not a business practice that anyone has is 359 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: just to have your on deck customer service reps just 360 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: hanging out reading a magazine to just like endless amounts 361 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: of money away. It's something like customer service. They're like, 362 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: no one does that. You're taking a huge hitting. I 363 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: mean the customer service is great, but we're losing three 364 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: million a year because you just have people sleeping in that. 365 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: That's what customer services. That's you call. You have to wait, Yeah, 366 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: as so long as you waited for any kind of 367 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: customer service. I have had experiences where I've had to 368 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: like go do a meeting while like I have my 369 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: headphones on listening to the customer service call and then 370 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: like the person picks up and like it was like 371 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 1: an hour and a half, picks up and hangs up 372 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: before I can get out of the middle. I forget 373 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: what what I was waiting for, but it was infuriating. 374 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: Sounds like yeah. And the only reason I bring this 375 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: up up on today's episode is because this is who 376 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: our president is picking a fight with. And I would 377 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: I would hate this guy, uh for in all other scenarios, 378 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: But we live in a Trump v. Bezos world, or 379 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: we might be living in a Trump v. Bezos world. 380 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: What did you do? What's happened now? Well, no, just 381 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: Trump has shown just hostility towards Amazon because of the 382 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: Washington Post. Yeah, and the Washington Post. Because of the 383 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: Washington Post, and also because Amazon puts a lot of 384 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: brick and mortar businesses out of business. And Trump's background 385 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: is in real estate, so he you know, it's constantly 386 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: talking yeah. And that's the other thing is that they 387 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: are polar opposites in the sense that Jeff Bezos runs 388 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: one business and has become the richest person in the 389 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: history of the world. Um, and you know, has just 390 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: made that business incredibly successful, whereas Trump has run many 391 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: businesses and fucked them all up, so that rich their 392 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: opposite that Richard dude, Yeah, did you guys ever do 393 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: a deep dive on that in any of the shows 394 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: that you wrote for? We did many deep and did 395 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: he call and like threatened to sue, Oh you know, no, no, no, 396 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe something weird happened, but now no, 397 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: there was. We did a lot of Trump at UM 398 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: last week tonight and uh yeah, I mean I left 399 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: right after the election, was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Time 400 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: just is not linear to me. It's all blending together. Yeah, 401 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: so I left. That was my last season, and then 402 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: they continued to write to really go in on them, 403 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: because you know, how can you not that it's definitely true, 404 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: but he's it's hard to it's just a nightmare to happen. 405 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: Like all through the election when we were working on 406 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, it became more and more Trump, and it 407 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: became more and more depressing, very hard to sort of 408 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: do that. We've pushed through to the other side where 409 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: we're just insane and I don't even know what's we 410 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: honestly believe we're in the major that's the Yeah, we 411 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: was rattled to my core when you said, when you 412 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: try to explain to job, because I needed to be 413 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: the matrix, needed to be the matrix. Sorry, we're gonna 414 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back, 415 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: all right, guys. The primaries were yesterday. It was the 416 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: super Tuesday of the primary season. And yeah, the Democrats 417 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: avoided disaster in California. You know, the parties seemed to, 418 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, prove that they can still swing it 419 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: around a little bit. Nate Silver's analysis was that, yeah, 420 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: the party, a lot of the chosen candidates by the 421 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: major parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party were 422 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: the ones who ended up winning um. And the disaster 423 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: scenario that Democrats had been worried about in California, which 424 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: was that because California is called a jungle primary, it's 425 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: essentially the top two candidates, no matter what party they're 426 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: from in the election, the top two boat getting candidates 427 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: just end up running against each other. It doesn't matter 428 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: if it's two Republicans two Democrats. And in a lot 429 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: of these districts, because there was so much, you know, 430 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: energy behind Democrats at this time, there were too many 431 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: Democrats running against each other, and it came down to 432 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: the wire in a lot of cases. H And in 433 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: some cases it's still a possibility that it will be 434 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: to Republicans that are pretty close, but really really close. Um, 435 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: but it looks like they kind of made it through 436 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: by the skin of their teeth. So the Democrats are 437 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: still alive in a lot of the races that they 438 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: need to be aliven. And of them, there's too many Democrats, 439 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: that's the that's what we're so. There were too many 440 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: Democrats running against each other and they were splitting the vote. Yeah, yeah, 441 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, Um, when are we going to get it together? Right? 442 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: So in some cases they managed to get like the 443 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: people who weren't going to make it through to drop out, 444 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: and you know, those people still were on the ballot, 445 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: and they still got some of the boats, but they 446 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: didn't get enough to you know, siphon off votes from 447 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: the people who were actually threatening to make it through 448 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: and be one of the top two candidates. Well, here's 449 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: what I want to know, who among us voted for 450 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: the puppeteer for the puppeteer governor? If there was a candidate, 451 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: he's not the which there was one person I think 452 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: at the top of it. You mean the guy who's 453 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: the literal fucking puppeteers. No, I know what you're talking about. That. 454 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: I was like, I mean there was my hand just 455 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: kind of went it was name, and it's like, don't 456 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: you do it? Don't you How fun would that be 457 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: having a puppeteer? Yeah, just you know, Priscemium, you're just 458 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: working out of there the whole the whole time. Then 459 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: there's that guy Peter Low who had the weird hat on, 460 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: who was like making a bunch of videos. Anyway, there's 461 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: there were a lot of interesting people who were running 462 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: for governor. But that's the thing with California. So many 463 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: weird people have ran for governor. Is that a thing 464 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: that always happens? We get like twenty seven people running. Yeah. 465 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: I remember when like after Gray Davis, when it was 466 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, left office was recalled, right, yeah. Uh, all 467 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: the people that like ran, like Mary Carey, the adult 468 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: film star and like all kinds. It was like a circus. 469 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: And then then end up being Arnold Schwarzenegger. Right. People 470 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: saw that Schwarzenegger was running and they were like, well, 471 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: fuck it, I guess I can. Yeah. So in the 472 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: California State Senate, it looks like it's actually gonna be 473 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: two Democrats. It's going to be Feinstein and Kevin da Leone, 474 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: who is sort of a further left Democrat. So the 475 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: speculation is that might depress Republican turnout because most people 476 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: go to the polls to vote for the top of 477 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: the ticket races, and you know, that's the big race, 478 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: and if Republicans don't have a candidate to vote for, 479 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: that's going to make fewer fewer of them want to 480 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: come out. But the other big statewide election was the 481 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: gubernatorial race, and it was speculated that via Rogosa, the 482 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: former mayor of Los Angeles, might make it through to 483 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: second and make that one also to Democrats, in which 484 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: case the Democrats really would have been in business. But 485 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: that did not come to pass. Um Via Ragosa was 486 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: a distant third, and by spending many moneies, many many monies, 487 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: and the Republicans came through with a guy named John Cox, 488 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: who was the choice of the r n C despite 489 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: the fact that he appears to be ah and I 490 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: think I have this right a fucking loser. While Wow, 491 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: that was the That was the research combed by super 492 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: producer Sophie Lichtman. But that really doubled down, really double down. 493 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: He didn't make sure you say that he is and 494 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: not even like that. He's like, you know, lame. He 495 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: hangs out with the weird emol kid. He doesn't not 496 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: have a record of winning. Yeah, he's run a lot 497 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: of Illinois political campaigns. He's from Illinois. He lost in 498 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: the Republican primary race to be a congress person from Illinois, uh, 499 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: in the tenth congressional district. He lost a lot in Illinois. 500 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: Ran to be president in two thousand and eight, lost 501 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: before anyone had even heard that he was running to 502 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: the president. Then he you know president, Yes, he ran 503 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: for president. Was and what's he running for? What wants 504 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: to govern? He wants to govern. He was running for governor. 505 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: So just wait. Because he was so humbled by his 506 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: failed presidential bid that he next ran for neighbor legislature 507 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: uh and lost. So he has not done very well 508 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: in electoral politics up to this point. But he endorsed Trump. 509 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: Trump endorsed him, and so he is now running against 510 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, who again a hunk. We were talking about 511 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: a lot of hunks hunkage on this episode, but yeah, 512 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: so we'll we'll see Californias having some newsom yeah. Right. 513 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: These are the some of the jokes of telling stay 514 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: tuned for more. But you know, I think, well, the 515 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: neighborhood legislatures thing was a ballot initiative. It wasn't him 516 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: running for thing, okay, but the thing that he put 517 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: on the ballot. You try to get on there four times, 518 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: I think yes, and it didn't happen. When do you 519 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: just give up? You don't, but I think you don't. 520 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: You just keep going until you become the candidate for Gardner. 521 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: I guess does he have hobbies? I mean he must. 522 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: He needs to get into something else that's I don't know, losing. 523 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what what he does. He looks like 524 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: a guy who just kind of like sleeps sitting upright 525 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: in like a room. Like it doesn't seem I don't 526 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: see much beyond his his visit. Hey, speaking of hip 527 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: hop and Kanye, he released an album last week. Let's 528 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: get into what people are thinking talking about right now 529 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: and the Kanye album. I think you guys touched on 530 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: a little bit on Friday. We've had a weekend to 531 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: listen to it, and I think I don't know our overall. 532 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: My overall takeaway is that it's very uneven and probably 533 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: the worst thing he's ever done. Uh, but it also 534 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: has really high highs like a lot of his projects. 535 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: Do I really like the first song, the second and 536 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: third or solid I really like ghost Town. The song 537 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: to his daughter about like how he doesn't want her 538 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: to be hot is the worst thing he's ever done. 539 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: It's like the rap version of one of those Matt 540 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: Damon quotes that starts out as a father of daughters, 541 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: I understand crossed with one of those purity ball events 542 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: in the South where daughters promised their chastity to their fathers, 543 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: which is is that the thing like they it almost 544 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: looks like a wedding, So it is like the father 545 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: and daughter like like proclaimed to each other. That's that's 546 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: how bad the song is. Is It reminded me of that, 547 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: and then I just went on a deep dive on 548 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: like Wikipedia on on the chastity ball and or purity Ball. Rather, 549 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: it's really like the it's reality's version of American Pie, 550 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: and that it seems like it's from five generations ago, 551 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: but it was fairly recent. Oh really yeah, yeah, I 552 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: guess that makes sense. Yeah, what what did you find? Yeah? Yeah, 553 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: bring us down the Wikipedia the ball. It's just this 554 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: incredible article where it's like, you know, this gray haired 555 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: guy sitting next to They just describe her as like 556 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: a woman in a floor length gown with her hair 557 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: in an updu like seems like a wedding for all 558 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: intensive purposes. He pulls out a ring like shows it 559 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: to her and she starts crying. Yeah. And then they're 560 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,959 Speaker 1: like yeah, and that daughter is seventeen years old and 561 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: that is his daughter, and they dance together and they 562 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: it's all sorts of weird and likewardly romantic in a 563 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: way that I don't know. It's just totally unslf conscious 564 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: about how creepy it is because they're just claiming protectorship 565 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: over their daughter's body. Yeah. And it also has the 566 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: sort of the war of art vibe where it's like 567 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: they declare war on things that shouldn't be possible to 568 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: declare war on. There's a quote from this article. Pastor 569 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: Randy Wilson takes the microphone and asks the men, are 570 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: you ready to war for your daughter's purity? You're ready 571 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: to kill for your daughter's timing? Yeah, You're like never 572 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: mind that she probably broke it on a bike seat 573 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: when she was younger. Find the man, you kill him. 574 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: The Purity Ball guidelines suggest that the daughters be just 575 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: old enough to have begun menstruating cool something everyone should 576 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: well yeah, because yeah, that those kindy lyrics really are 577 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,479 Speaker 1: kind of like whoa man? Now that I think about 578 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: my done daughter, Like, yeah, men do some gross stuff. 579 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: And then like other songs are like about him, other 580 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: people that besides his wife and your Yeah, that we 581 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: should just do a universal like Kabash on men being 582 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: allowed to be like as a follower of daughters, I 583 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: understand where Like I was on the phone with my 584 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: dad the other night and we were we were sparring 585 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: about sam be using the C word, and my dad 586 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: was like, I don't know. I mean, as your father, 587 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: I think that it's a pretty vile word. And then 588 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: in the middle he's like, oh, mate, fell out. Your 589 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: opinion is invalid on teeth literally fell out while you 590 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: were saying I don't think people should use this anywhere. 591 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: Click click. There is something about that, because Rudy Giuliani, 592 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: his teeth always seem on the verge of falling out. 593 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: I feel like there's something about conservative politics and like 594 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: your teeth just wanting to escape from your head. I 595 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: don't know. My dad loses his teeth everywhere. It's very funny, 596 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: isn't the thing. It is a hockey thing to lose 597 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: your teeth, But your dad wasn't. My dad doesn't play hockey. 598 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: He just reports about it, which shouldn't. So yeah, it's 599 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: on him. But the other day, the other day he's like, 600 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: you know, I lost my I lost my teeth and 601 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: they were on top of my Elvis Costello c D collection, 602 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: which stacks so high that you can't see it without 603 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: a ladder. All right back to Kanye, So apparently the 604 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: album was created like fully, none of these songs existed 605 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: before that TMZ interview. It always sounds like yeah, well, 606 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: and that's according to people who have reported on the process. 607 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: It was all like put together very quickly, which the 608 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: thing that used to separate his work from a lot 609 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: of other people's work is what a perfectionist he is. 610 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: And this sounds rushed and not that well thought through. 611 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: And even the push it to the album that he 612 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: produced like sounded it was seven tracks that you got 613 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: the sense it was like they took the seven best 614 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: tracks from like a collection of fifteen and we're just like, 615 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: we're just making it all killer, no filler, whereas this 616 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: just seems like the first seven tracks of a bad 617 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: Kanye album or something very first draft. Here. You know, 618 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: we knew something was wrong with him based on his 619 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: public appearances over the last couple of months, and the 620 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: album just kind of further shows that he's not in 621 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: the best place, especially to be creating. And he's still 622 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: saying the dumbest shit out loud on record. And I've 623 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: never come at the guy's music, but this is like 624 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: one of the first times I really feel sort of 625 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: a little bummed for him as a creator. I'm like, 626 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,479 Speaker 1: damn you really just this sounds so all over the place. 627 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: The first song I actually really like a lot, but 628 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: it goes all over the place, from like silently being 629 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: like I thought about killing you dude on the bus 630 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: or something I thought about killing you premeditated murder, damn 631 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: all cps. Because also, who the funk is he talking 632 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: about when he's like I thought about killing you, best 633 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: believe that speculate. I assumed it was Kim, but I 634 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: ever heard stuff like that said on the bus to 635 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: the Glendale gallerya before Yeah, you never want to start 636 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: up with something about Yeah, I thought about premeditated murder 637 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: into like impromptu humming, but that song, like it feels 638 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: like two songs that could have been good. And then 639 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: just we're kind of all over the place because then 640 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,439 Speaker 1: suddenly he's like, yeah, like I've been in some bad 641 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: places using the floor as ash train. He's like, it's 642 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: a different set up rules that we obey. You're like, whoa, 643 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: it's the same song, okay, right, Yeah, I don't know anyway, 644 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: It's it's one of those things I just I'll maybe 645 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: can only listen to like three of the songs on there, 646 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. I feel like he had 647 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: a chance to maybe do something slightly redeemable off the 648 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: back of all that dumb ship that he said, and 649 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: then he really does nothing to address that. Even when 650 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: he talks about the slavery was a choice thing, it's 651 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: just sort of like, ye, I told him she could 652 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: have left, but she didn't, so she's loyal. Yeah, I 653 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: think it's like the worst thing you could have done. 654 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,760 Speaker 1: It just kind of it is just like a weird, 655 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: like literal Yeah, I just want to shout out all 656 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: my bipolar heads again, because I don't know, like he 657 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 1: he makes a big deal about his mental illness on 658 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: this album. That's mostly what it's about, and it and 659 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: and you can sort of like hear that thought process, 660 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: and I don't know, it's it's weird to hear someone 661 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: in the thick of it making, you know, releasing their 662 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: first draft basically, right, I don't I'm I'm interested in 663 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: how that like affects the mental health conversation, if at all. 664 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: But more than anything, it's like the way you see 665 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 1: people responding to this album who are like two weeks ago, 666 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: they were like, he's dead to me, I hate He's no, No, 667 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: he's canceled, He's done. Now They're like Truck two is 668 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: actually pretty good. I'm guilty of that to That's my 669 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: jackpot programs. My beefs with him have always been about 670 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: his politics or what he does with his celebrity, basically 671 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: because I always said that even the thick of his 672 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: dumb fuccory uh is that Like, That's why I was 673 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: so upset because he has made like an album that 674 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: I feel is one of the better hip hop albums 675 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: that's ever been made, and so no Fun Pilot and again. 676 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: But it's it's one of those things too, where it 677 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: shows how invested people can be when they're like, well, 678 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: but I also got to find out. But at the 679 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: end of the day, this just further underlines how little 680 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: he knows about his own place or the world or whatever, 681 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: because it comes off so odd and like just tone 682 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: deaf and spots that I just was really like, that's why. 683 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: To me, I was just kind of like, I don't know, 684 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people on tour like, yo, this is 685 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: the greatest album, or other people like this is great, 686 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: this is the worst fucking nolb buck you and people 687 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: were like getting upset over it. To me, I'm just 688 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,399 Speaker 1: sort of like, he made this album in a week 689 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 1: and he literally got flamed on TMZ and his response 690 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: is this and it sounds like this sort of like 691 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: this impulsive thing that he did. So I don't I 692 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: don't know, is he gonna want to count this as 693 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 1: one of his albums? Yeah? And I mean none of 694 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: the seven songs apparently existed back when he gave himself 695 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: this self imposed deadline to release the album last week, 696 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 1: and then apparently he told Charlie Mane in an interview 697 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: that he completely reworked the songs after that TMZ slavery 698 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: was a choice thing. Wow, so not only was like 699 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: last minute album, like last minute do your homework for 700 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: him together? Yeah, alright, Well sounds like that. This is 701 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: one point he makes where he refers to himself in 702 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: the third person, and then from that transitions into being 703 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: able to like see outside of himself and therefore being 704 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: bipople ler as a superpower, which I do think that 705 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: I didn't take it like that. You didn't take that 706 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: was that he was seeing outside of himself. It was 707 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: just sort of like I think he called out his 708 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: own narcissism in a way, like he was clearly like 709 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: maybe someone in therapy was like, you see how you 710 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: tend to do third person, You're narcissist. Because he's like, yeah, 711 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: the third person. He's like, wait, I heard that's my 712 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: bipolar ship. I'm superhero. That's me trying to track his 713 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: thought process, which probably doesn't make sense. I mean, what 714 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: do you think I'm thinking looking at his bipolar disorder 715 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: as a superpower. I well, I don't speak behalf just personally. 716 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: How does that strike you? I mean, it just seems 717 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: a little bit like off and and and that makes 718 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: sense if you're in the middle of a bipolar manic 719 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: episode that you would see things off that's like what 720 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: they're characterized by. But I don't know, I just it 721 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: bums me out a little bit that this is like, well, 722 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: he's acting this way because he's bipolar. He's acting it 723 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 1: just I think kind of oversimplifies a more complicated illness, 724 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: uh and and basically just characterizes anyone who does have 725 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: bipolar disease as like someone who's completely unhinged and can't 726 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: and just using the bipolar to justify stuff he says 727 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: in the media of like, you know, being bipolar has 728 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: never made me think that slavery was a choice. Like 729 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 1: there's other stuff at play, and there's like more context 730 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: and the fact that it's being boiled down to like, well, 731 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: he's going through a bipolar manic episode. That seems like 732 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: it's true, but there's also like other stuff going on, yes, clearly, 733 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: and just from a public persona perspective, it seems like 734 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: the parts of him that have always like kind of 735 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: captured people who don't care about his arts attention, like 736 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: his sort of rambling, uh, you know, jumping on stage 737 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: at awards shows and just basically, you know, toxic narcissism, 738 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: like that person is eating like the creator on this album, 739 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: you can almost hear that happening, and I think the 740 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: lack of like at least I haven't looked at all 741 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: the credits, but it seems like not many people were 742 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: helping him with the songwriting part, and that's always like 743 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,919 Speaker 1: a mark of most of his albums. Yeah. I mean, 744 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 1: anything that's that rushed is going to be hard to 745 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: not like this second Rade podcast, right, that's right, all right, 746 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: we still bring the heat.

Like at first they were using a 762 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: like a night vision camera with motion sensors. It's like 763 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: meant for like nature photography of like elusive nocturnal creatures 764 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 1: to first kind of get some you know, to build 765 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 1: a timeline and get some blurry images to feel like, okay, 766 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: we're starting to see when this is happening in the 767 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: direction the person is moving. And then from there just 768 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: did some process of elimination.

In 792 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 1: the very early days of the Daily Zeitgeist, we reported 793 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:12,280 Speaker 1: a story from a Colorado neighborhood where a specific family 794 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:18,240 Speaker 1: was having somebody ship in their yard like every day, 795 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: and they finally, you know, got the person on camera 796 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: and it was a woman.

Yeah, no, 802 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: because I mean it's a lot of bouncing up and down. 803 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: The contents of your stomach are going to get like 804 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 1: kind of pushed down, and especially when a milkshake, like 805 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 1: they're just yeah, yeah, carrying a milkshake in a paper bag. 806 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 1: And yeah, especially when your first training for a marathon day. 807 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 1: They even have a name for it.
