1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: last stravaganza. Uhh. So, without further ado, here is the

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. So Grammy's you guys, uh, the there was

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: a lot of political intrigue around this, uh this morning.

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: The big headline I'm seeing a lot is that it

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: was the most low ratings that the Grammys have ever gotten. Uh.

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Drudge had that as his main story for the day,

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: Grammy's crash and burn, which I expect every single like

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: live event or you know, a words show to be

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: the worst that has ever happened, just because people are

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: court cutting, and especially something like this that breaks down

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: so conveniently into YouTube clips. Uh, it just feels like, Yeah,

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect that many people to actually be watching

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: it on CBS. But uh so Yeah. Apparently, whether it's

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: because of a long term trend or because people objected

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: to the political content, that that is the implication that

19
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: the Drudge Report wants us to take away. Because too

20
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: many liberal artists whistle box Kendrick Lamar's political statement and

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: the fact that Hillary was involved in a sketch where

22
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: they were reading the Fire and Fury, Yeah, which was

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: kind of funny. I mean it was a solid sketch.

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: The premise being that um, next year, the Grammy for

25
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Audio Book Presentation, which is a Grammy is definitely going

26
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: to go to whoever reads Fire and Fury. And they

27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: tried different people out and the punchline was they had

28
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton reading some of it. But by far the

29
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: best moment is Cardi b was reading a queen card

30
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: first of her name. I think we have an audio

31
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: of that. If Trump was not having his six study

32
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: dinner with Steve Banning, then more two is liking he

33
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: wasn't bed by that time with a cheeseburger. Why am

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: I even reading this? I can't believe this. I can't

35
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: believe that he really this is how he lives his life.

36
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: The video that's not even written because you can tell

37
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: she's looking off camera, like at the producer or whatever.

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Can't believe you really can't believe it. Or she's the

39
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: greatest actress ever And if she is either way Cardi

40
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: or always winning, she's despite not winning a fucking thing yesterday, right,

41
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: So that was the other kind of reaction that I

42
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: saw is that they did not. And this is shocking

43
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: for the Grammys, because the Grammys always gets it right,

44
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: always get it red. I mean, we count I. I

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: just don't listen to music until the Grammy's happened for

46
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: that year, and then I'm just like, all right, whoever

47
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: the Grammys gave it to, that was the music of

48
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: the year. I listened to one album a year, the

49
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: album of the right Here We Here we Go, Bruno

50
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: mars Uh album about like sex music for somebody who's

51
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: never had sex. He've established before on the daily see guys, um,

52
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: he just has that energy. Man. He seems like a

53
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: fun girl in high school. He's just like, hey, guys,

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: what's up? Like I don't know. He just seems like

55
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: a a fun gal, but not not the dude who

56
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: I want singing my like sultry music about on the floor,

57
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: No I don't buy. How about like an old towel

58
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: from the Trump car on the floor exactly? What's the

59
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: one target brand that they do for towels anyway, that

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: brand on the floor. Uh. The show opened with a

61
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar performance that was really dope. There was a

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: part where so At one point, the screen flashes this

63
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: is a satire by Kendrick Lamar, which was weird because

64
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: it was like an ultra serious performance. But super producer

65
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Nick Stump pointed out that immediately after that, the Edge

66
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: and Bono like rode out on the stage, which I

67
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: don't know that like, being the most self serious people

68
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: in the world, it was just funny to imagine that

69
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: he was just being like, this is the satire. Uh,

70
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: these guys coming out and thinking that with their rock

71
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: and roll music they can solve everything that here. But

72
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: they used to be a band with a message, right.

73
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: They did message, we just don't want to hear it, right,

74
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: I guess. But I mean, like you know, back in

75
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: the day when like when YouTube first came out, like

76
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: they were they were good with their protest music, and

77
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: we were kind of talking about how they sort of

78
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: lost touch I guess over the year, especially when Bono

79
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: forgot how to count in Spanish. Also what do you say?

80
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: And one of the songs he's like you no Dose

81
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: Trace Torse. Yeah that's right, bro, you missed even numbers

82
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: in between. I just remember when Colin Farrell, I think,

83
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: was on SnO when y're pretending to be and he

84
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: just leaned into that. So but he's like tar se

85
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: the best fucking But for Spanish speakers out there were

86
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: like something is wrong and they're proudly looked. Who knows

87
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: there might be a hidden message in there that I

88
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: totally missed. But um, based on what I'm hearing, not so.

89
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars basically swept. He had the Song of the

90
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: Year the Record of the Year, which are two separate things.

91
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Like record I guess is like more for production and stuff,

92
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: song is like songwriting. He won both of those. He

93
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: won Album of the Year. Um, I don't I don't

94
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: know anybody who was like that was a great album,

95
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: the Bruno Mars album. Uh, but he defeated Kendrick. We've

96
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: talked before. The Grammy's never get anything right. Um And

97
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: in fact, just like all you have to do is

98
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: look back at some of their recent work. Uh, they've

99
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: continuously like last year they gave it to Adele over Beyonce.

100
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 1: Uh they love just giving the award to the middle

101
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: of the road pop artist over Uh the middle of

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: the Road. I I'm sorry, I know, I love it.

103
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Dell from the Dell Hive seems like a lot of fun.

104
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: She's very smart and I cry every time I hear

105
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: her music. Great boy, but you know, terrible, terrible choice

106
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: of football teams, right, Uh she sports Tottenham and that's

107
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: a whole other issue. But the Album of the Year though,

108
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: how the I don't know. I look at that album

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: of yeah, damn is like going to go down a

110
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: damn or awaken my love. That was fucking insane to me,

111
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: and so is Damn. I don't man, I don't know

112
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: that this is the thing I think we're saying to

113
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: before the show. Are we even surprised anymore? Like, I

114
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: don't even know if it's worth getting like upset because

115
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: the Grammy's haven't been shipped for two thousands. Steely Dan

116
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: one for Album of the Year over radio heads kid

117
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: A and the Marshall Mathers lp uh Steely Damn. Like

118
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: this was them coming back together after like fifteen years

119
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: and just being like old white dudes, you know who,

120
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: We're getting back together one last time in the year

121
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: of like Metallica and Guns and Roses. Uh. Jethro Toll

122
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: the Flute like rock band one for like metal Album

123
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: of the Year. Uh, It's just like they are amazing

124
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: at getting things extremely aggressively wrong. We just have to

125
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: look at the committee, you know, when when everybody's holding

126
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: it down for like the a ARP or like you know,

127
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: when everyone's voting looks like they were at the Barron

128
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: Nelson this year, Like you know, you're not. They're not

129
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna understand albums like A Week in My Love and

130
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: like Beck. Beyonce lost to Beck last year, two years ago.

131
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, two years ago, two years You're right, what

132
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: do we do? You know? I think we just gotta stap.

133
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Scissor fucking didn't win New Artists of the Year.

134
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: Jay Z got shut out, which I understood that jay

135
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Z getting shut up. You don't getting all awards for

136
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: cheating on Beyonce. I don't care how good this am.

137
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: The whole album should have been conatrician. If the album

138
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: was just him crying for twelve tracks, maybe yeah, he

139
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: was still trying to seem cool and ship. I'm like, nah, fam,

140
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: you no awards. It could also be because he also

141
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: just doesn't funk with the Grammys anymore anyway. He you know,

142
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: he refused to perform on the Grammy stage. So yeah,

143
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: he has a very torture relationship with the GRAM because

144
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: he recognizes that they never give hip hop like they

145
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: gave Album of the Year. I think to uh Fresh

146
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Prints and DJ jazz Jeff instead of Public Enemy, Like

147
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: they just traditionally will go with whatever the whitest version.

148
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: But I mean to give them credit though, this is

149
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: a like Will Smith and Jazz Jeff did really help

150
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: to mainstream hip hop like in the early nineties. I

151
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: think that's a contribution people overlook a lot, not because

152
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: they're like the politics of respectability kind of hip hop,

153
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: like we don't curse and we're like, sure, then, I

154
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: think that's his thing, but you can't actually take away

155
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: the fact that back then, like Will actually had abilities

156
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: as a lyricist, like that story to rap style, he

157
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: was actual pretty good. And Jazzy Jeff is actually really

158
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: good DJ. Like I think we look back and we're like,

159
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: mag y'all are corny kind of just I mean owned last. Yeah,

160
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that culturally, when you look back, there's

161
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are releasing the greatest albums

162
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: of all time in their genres, and uh, they're giving

163
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: it instead too. And also when you look at the

164
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: winners eleven of the eighty four winners last night, we're women.

165
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Only eleven of the eighty four were women, right, And

166
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: then the head of the Recording Academy had some real

167
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: bone headed ship to say after the awards because they're

168
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: talking about what what do we do about women in

169
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: the recording industry? He said, I think it has to

170
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: and this is a quote. I think it has to

171
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts

172
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: and their souls, who want to be musicians, who want

173
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want

174
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: to be part of the industry on an executive level,

175
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: to step up, because I think they would be welcome.

176
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: So it's a matter of women not they don't want

177
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: it hard enough. Oh they're not trying to, you know,

178
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: fucking navigate a fucking like misogynistic system of the recording industry.

179
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: How do you step up when you'd being stepped on?

180
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Like get up from down there? And I guess it

181
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: just shows you how tone deaf the Grammys are in general.

182
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: Like that's the guy running point, and he's like, you know,

183
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: I think women, I guess they don't want it. I

184
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: don't see him a right, Yeah, they definitely have a

185
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: So I mean I think they tried to dodge a

186
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: bullet by shutting edge Hearing out of some of the

187
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: key categories because they knew that he would have won

188
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: basically if if they had just given him as an

189
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: option to the Recording Academy. But you know, they still

190
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: have a problem and they probably need to replace that

191
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: dude with like do what the oscars just did where

192
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: they realized that, oh ship, all of our awards are

193
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: going to things that eighty year old white men like

194
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: and nothing else. We wanted to just kind of talk

195
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: briefly about President Trump's interview with Pierce Morrigan because it

196
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: is wildly entertaining just because you can kind of look

197
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: at both sides and laugh, Um, there they're just trash. Uh, Okay,

198
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: that was our coverage. Go do one. So some of

199
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: the best moments, Uh, they talked about gun control Pierce Morrigan.

200
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: This was the closest Pierce Morgan came to uh holding

201
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: his feet to the fire. He was like, why has

202
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: nothing been done to stop somebody from doing what happened

203
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas again? And Trump was like, we do

204
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: have gun control laws, but this is a sick person.

205
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: And Pierce Morgan's like, yeah, but he was able to

206
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: legally buy fifty five guns, and Trump was like, yeah,

207
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: but the point is he would have had fifty five bombs.

208
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: He would have had fifty five of something else if

209
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: it weren't for if there was gun control. Got that

210
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: bomb control right? Um. I mean this is actually a

211
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: mainstream gun rights argument that well, bad people are bad

212
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: people and nothing's gonna stop them. But as I've talked

213
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: about on this podcast before and just everywhere anywhere that

214
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: people will let me speak out loud, I love talking

215
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: about the British cold gas study, which found that when

216
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: you take away the easy way for people to kill themselves,

217
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: in this case, the people sticking their head in the oven,

218
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: which used to be like the most popular way for

219
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: people to kill themselves in England. Uh, they went to

220
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: non lethal gas just because, uh it was more efficient,

221
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: not because they were trying to save anybody's lives. Once

222
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: the gas could no longer kill you, the suicide rate

223
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: dropped by like a third. By however, many suicides cold

224
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: gas had made up before. So the idea is that,

225
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, because that people make really rash decisions, and

226
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: it's all about accessibility, and you know, there's a reason

227
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: that you know, there aren't tons of mass bombings in America.

228
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: There are lots of mass shootings. It's hard to build.

229
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: And also, I mean there are legal protections to keep

230
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: you from you know, if they see that you've gone

231
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: to the grocery store and bought all the ingredients for

232
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: a bomb. Uh, you know, that will draw their attention.

233
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be able to do that. Uh.

234
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: The thing that bombs don't have is a b r A,

235
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: as would actually be the National Bombs Association. Right, I'm

236
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: just so sick of this argument. But God damn, I

237
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: have to admire the strength of the n r A.

238
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: That is some real power when it's just thousands of

239
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: people can be shot all the time in America and

240
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: no one can do anything about you because you have

241
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: everybody in your pocket. Yeah, they have a lot of friends.

242
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: Some might be Russian too too, because they're like you

243
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: all spent a lot of money that last cycle. Where

244
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: is it coming from? Wait? What is it? There was

245
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: a story that came out last week that was talking

246
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: about how there's a really close tie of the n

247
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: r A and like certain Russian people. Uh, and there's

248
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: one guy who has like a record of like laundering

249
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: money for the Russians had a relationship with the n

250
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: r A. And they're trying to say, like the amount

251
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: that they spent the last election cycle was like much

252
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: higher than they've ever spent before. Yeah, and they're they're

253
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: looking into kind of like some of the accounting to

254
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: see what's going on, see if maybe they got some

255
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: of that money from Yeah, we'll see. I mean, that's

256
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: just that was a story. We'll probably look into that later.

257
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: And sure. It's just way too easy to kill people

258
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: with guns. I think that if you're a person you

259
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: want to kill a bunch of people, like you should

260
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: at least have to work for it, Like you should

261
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: have to stab everybody. It's fun. That's like that old

262
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Chris Rock bit. He's like, look, if you made a

263
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: bullet costs five thousand dollars, you would have to think

264
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: you like, I would shoot you, but I gotta wait

265
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: from my next page check whatever you have. Sometimes, yeah,

266
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: it's so. But that whole interview was filled with fascinating things.

267
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: One of the more popular items from that was Piers Morgan.

268
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: You know, he was talking to Trump about how much

269
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: he respects women, and you know, they were so deep

270
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: into how much Trump's respects women that Pierce had to

271
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: just ask the question We've all been wondering, President Trump,

272
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: do you identify as a feminist? Are you, in fact

273
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: a feminist? Uh? And the President said no, I wouldn't

274
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,479
Speaker 1: say I'm a feminist, which I think everybody just unshocked

275
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: that the people working behind the camera could keep themselves

276
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: from gasping aloud when he said that. He said, I

277
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: think that would be maybe going too far. I'm for women,

278
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm for men, I'm for everyone. I think people have

279
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: to go out, they have to go out and really

280
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: do it, and they have to win. And women are

281
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: doing great and I'm happy about that. Oh, so he's

282
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: all about, you know, equality for everybody? Right? Do you

283
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: guys remember a little song from Beyonce called Flawless. Let

284
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: me just play a section. You know, I don't know

285
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,479
Speaker 1: if you remember feminist a person who believes in the social, political,

286
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: and economic equality of the sexist. So if you believe

287
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: in the equality, if you're for everybody, that would make

288
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: you a feminist too, if you're truly about equality for everyone. Right. Look,

289
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate Trump, not lyine. We know he's asking feminism here,

290
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: talking about Grant, but not like I don't even lie.

291
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate that Trump didn't lie. Smelled me. He was like, yeah, no,

292
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a feminist. I'm a I think. But what

293
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: he's saying is that he has this like weird Fox

294
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: News definition of feminism, you know what I mean, Like,

295
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: because what he's saying is like, well, I don't know,

296
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: it's like I'm for women, I'm for men, I'm for everyone.

297
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he understands generally he's he means feminazis

298
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: or whatever people try and attack like feminist thought is yeah,

299
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: exactly of of being like that's what he believes feminism,

300
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: and that's why he's like, oh that's that's not me,

301
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: and not that he even believes in equality for everyone,

302
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: but you even even betrays himself and like how he

303
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: even follows that answer up and and I'm not surprised.

304
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I'm getting so fired up

305
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: because there was bigger, bigger issues with that interview I had. Yeah, well, well,

306
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: why don't you talk about what your biggest issue? Okay,

307
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: let me tell you guys something. So I'm a huge

308
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: fan of Arsenal football club in North London. You know,

309
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: there's only one team in London, as we all know,

310
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: and people can tweet me all they want, but let's

311
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: be real. Pierce Morgan is the worst example of an

312
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: Arsenal supporter. He is a lifelong supporter. Okay, he gave

313
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: this dude a jersey with his name on it with

314
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: the four or five on the back. Also, Baron Trump

315
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: has been seen wearing an Arsenal kit. That's a whole

316
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: other thing, you know. That's he's a child, he's figuring

317
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: it out. But he basically was like it was just

318
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: crazy that they had this exchange where he was like,

319
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: are you an Arsenal fan? And Trump's like, oh no,

320
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: not particularly no, and then he's like, Pierce Morgan says,

321
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: don't kill the dream, Mr President. I can't take this

322
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: xenophobic psychopath, Pierce Morgan. He's already like a very problematic guy.

323
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: I just got triggered because he's bringing my club into it.

324
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: We have one of the most diverse UH supporters, like

325
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: the kinds of variety of supporters of the club. It's

326
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: great and we're not xenophobic, we're all inclusive, and to

327
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: bring this man in the conversation is very upsetting and

328
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: that's my rant. I have to go. There was a

329
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: great moment where he had to him about something less

330
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: important than what you're talking about. Myles. Obviously, climate change

331
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: I don't believe and uh he said, do you believe

332
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: in climate change? Do you believe it exists? And Trump said,

333
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: there's a cooling, there is a heating. And I mean, look,

334
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: it used to not be climate change. It used to

335
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: be global warming. Uh, which I guess he's just talking

336
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: about the name change, the rebranding. Uh. He says that

337
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: wasn't working too well because it was getting too cold

338
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: all over the place. The ice caps were going to melt.

339
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: They were going to be gone by now, and now

340
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: they're setting records. So okay, they're at a record level.

341
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: There were so many things happening, Piers. I tell you

342
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: what I believe in. I believe in clean air. I

343
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: believe in crystal clear, beautiful water. I believe in just

344
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: having good cleanliness. Oh yeah, that's why you got to

345
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: the e p A. It's just why he's a fucking

346
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: germ phobi. That's also why I will not shake your hand, Piers. Uh.

347
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: He also had a paper cover over his water glass

348
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: whole time because it doesn't like dirt. Trump's just will

349
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: him open mouth in the Hudson River. That should be

350
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: his punishment, right, rather than I would love to see

351
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: him he's a McDonald's. I want him to be. I

352
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: want him to beer b Hudson River water. But if

353
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: Trump has shown does nothing, it's that we should all

354
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: strive for more in life. Like I used to think

355
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: that qualifications were um a necessity, and now I know

356
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: they're a mere obstacle in front of me. Like so what,

357
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing, That doesn't mean I

358
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: can't still do it. Like this responses the stupidest shit

359
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: I ever in my life. I mean, the grass I

360
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: like clean grass, or to see ice has set repeated lows.

361
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: But notice he didn't say that they were setting records

362
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: in either direction. He just said the ice is setting records.

363
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: So okay, they're at a record level. I mean, yeah,

364
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: the worst ever. Anyway, there's also apparently, uh some records

365
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: in terms of how far spread the ice is, and

366
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: it's that like records in terms of being spread the

367
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: furthest but that's because of increased winds from global warming,

368
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: and because the ice is like breaking apart and melting

369
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: uh so, uh yeah, very interesting interview. Uh the hard

370
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: hitting interview we've all been waiting for. All Right, we're

371
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

372
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: we're back. Let's talk about the memo because there's you

373
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: know you might have seen released the memo trending. This

374
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: has become a big right wing caused celeb. Uh So

375
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: Devin Nuns, who this is the guy who recused himself

376
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: from the Intelligence Committee investigation, right, And he did that

377
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: because at the time he was basically sharing information from

378
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: the Intelligence Committee, like stuff that was not supposed to

379
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: be shared and that was supposed to be confidential. He

380
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: got out of a car in the middle of d

381
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: C was just like I gotta go, and like told

382
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: the person to stop the car, got out of one car,

383
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: got into another car like he was in a fucking

384
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: spy movie, and went immediately to the White House to

385
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: just brief people on ship that he knew from the

386
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: Senate Intelligence Committee. So it was like this guy's clearly compromised.

387
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: Well and also like he used information he got from

388
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: the White House to present to the White House, like

389
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: just to create a story like what I've got And

390
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: it's like motherfucker that came from the White House, Like

391
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: this is all transparent theatrics, and somehow this guy who's

392
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: supposed to have recused himself is now he put together

393
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: this memo based on, you know, his opinion of the investigation,

394
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: claiming that you know that Trump is being treated unfairly, right, well, yeah,

395
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: it's trying to essentially lay out the fact that there's

396
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: corruption in the FBI, that they're overstepping their power, that

397
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein is like, you know, acting out of line

398
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: by because of this, that and the other to deal

399
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: with Carter Page, etcetera. So really, I mean, if you

400
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: boil it down, what this memo is doing is essentially

401
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: trying to create a pretext to fire Rod Rosenstein. Um,

402
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: because if if they can, you know, create the narrative

403
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: that like, oh god, like Rod Rosenstein he's sucking up,

404
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it would make sense for Trump to fire

405
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: That is the first domino that needs to fall, so

406
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: he can put someone in his place to fire Robert Mueller.

407
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Because Robert Mueller reports directly to Rod Rosenstein. So that's

408
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: what stinks like about this whole thing is that if

409
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: that happens, that's really the first Saturday night massacre. Domino

410
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: to go down, because that's I would be blown away

411
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: if he finds a reason to fire Rod Rosenstein and

412
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: whoever replaces him doesn't fire Robert Muller as he has

413
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: a bigger question, pure question so much compared back to

414
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: like Watergate, right, but in that time of our country,

415
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't there, but everything that I've learned from it,

416
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: it's that it got to a point where the no

417
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: matter what aisle you were on or what you voted for,

418
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: the voted for Nixon or you didn't, it got to

419
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: a point where you were like, he's gotta go. This

420
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: is like like the country was like, this isn't okay.

421
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: So to me, that's the big difference, because all of

422
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: this stuff a Saturday night massacre where everybody who should

423
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: be doing the right thing gets fired and everything gets well,

424
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: not like will it even matter if so much of

425
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: this country doesn't care like that there just isn't outrage.

426
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: Like I say, people was like, well how do things change?

427
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: With Vietnam changed? Really like we really started. The Pentagon

428
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: papers obviously really helped, but what that really made people

429
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: do is your World War two veteran and your Korean

430
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: War veterans were like, well, wait a second, I'm against

431
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: this too. And it wasn't just like long haired kids

432
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: anymore like yelling this. It was people who watched their

433
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: kids come home and either not come home at all

434
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: or come home and be like, we're over there for

435
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: no reason. And then that reached a greater populace where

436
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: people are like, this war is bad. And then once

437
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: senators and congressmen and women start feeling like, oh, we're

438
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: not going to be re elected, they thought, we really

439
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: do need to get out of this war. We need

440
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: to really this president needs to be changed. What has

441
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: happened to me? That's the difference, Like what's going to

442
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: happen in this country when you do have a quote

443
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: unquote smoking gun but nobody cares that it went off

444
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: that nobody cares I know, but but I mean like

445
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: enough to feel like it's not acceptable. We've learned so

446
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: much in this presidency that everything we thought were rules

447
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: for the way somebody had to behave but really just

448
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: implied suggestions and somebody could just stop doing them. When

449
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: we found out where we are right now, people are like, yeah,

450
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: I don't care that. Clearly, the tipping point will be

451
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: if Robert Mueller is fired. That's that's when people need

452
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: to show the funk up. We actually don't know if

453
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: it will be because so that's the thing like I've

454
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: been talking about that where it takes you back to

455
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: what Watergate was like at the time. And yeah, the

456
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: Saturday to night massacre like tipped everybody to be like, okay,

457
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: so he's clearly the bad guy. But they didn't have

458
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: Fox News. That's the thing that I keep coming back

459
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: to is there wasn't a propaganda wing that was consistently

460
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: putting out you know, just essentially lies and a op

461
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: edge of what you know, the president wants people to believe.

462
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: And so I genuinely don't know if there's a smoking gun,

463
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: if people will give a ship enough to I mean,

464
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: that's what I'm afraid of. That. Well, I think that's

465
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: why people need to talk about that enough to realize

466
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: that if that happens, were steps away from full on

467
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, being like under the rule of some despotic government. Right.

468
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: But there were points early in the Watergate investigation and

469
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: you know, I thought Watergate, like there's a break in,

470
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: Like Woodward and Bernstein started like nailing the story and

471
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: like it was just a big wave and it overtook

472
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: the country. There were a lot of different points at

473
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: which people like didn't give enough of a ship. And

474
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: then there was this big Senate committee where you know,

475
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: different people were interviewed and it was like the O

476
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: J Trial of its time, and everybody was like watching it.

477
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: And that's started tipping people's opinion, and that crescendo of

478
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: like Woodward and Bernstein as they were building an and

479
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: people weren't paying attention, and then started to over time,

480
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: like you just mentioned, any crescendo like that as it builds. Now,

481
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: what you didn't have then was this behemoth of this

482
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: media that reached millions of millions of people, kicking the

483
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: chair out from under it before it could really get

484
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: people's attention and build. That's what I'm afraid of. Well,

485
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing with this memo is like, can we

486
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: look at this memo as in and of itself being

487
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: a form of obstruction because it's trying to discredit the

488
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: very intelligence community that is trying to look out for

489
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: national security and you know, completely changed the conversation. It's

490
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: either directly or it's a malicious distraction at best, and

491
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: it's straight up obstruction at worst, because it's completely derailing

492
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: the conversation and the point of doing it, putting it

493
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: together and then putting it out is either directed by

494
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: or implied from the White House to do. So that's

495
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: Devin Nonez is his little he carries the water form,

496
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: so I mean. And there were people on the Republican

497
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: side up until the end who were still supporting Nixon

498
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: up until like the d like today's I think the

499
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: last episode of slow Burn, and they're talking about these

500
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: uh town halls that Republican centators were having or Democratic

501
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: centators were having in the South where they would meet

502
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: with these southern people, and Southern people were like, we

503
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: don't give a ship about Watergate, like lent nixonto his job,

504
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: and it was like fifty fifty split. Uh. And then

505
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: the transcripts of all the tapes Nixon had been keeping

506
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: of his just like meetings in his office broke and

507
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: that was like when everyone's like, oh, sh well, he

508
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: had like the smoking the smoking gun, and Watergate was

509
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: like the smoking ist of guns. It was like he

510
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: was caught holding it and then like recording himself committing

511
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: the murders, Like it was just, uh, you really couldn't

512
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: have found a more guilty motherfucker than Nixon's. But that's

513
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: why people just need to look at it like this,

514
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: everything that the GOP has been doing, from whether it's

515
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: the House and tells this committee to people like Chuck Grassley,

516
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: the President himself, they're clearly acting in this way because

517
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: they have shipped too hide right, there's no other way

518
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: to look at that. And if you can accept that,

519
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: and you can accept the fact that through the overwhelming

520
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: amount of Congressmen UH that have voted for the sanctions,

521
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: that we clearly do acknowledge that Russia did interfere with

522
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: our That's what I've said that, Like people in my family,

523
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, and they're not fervent Trump supporters, but I said, like,

524
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: if you believe everything that they tell you, do you

525
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: just believe like they didn't do anything wrong. They aren't

526
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: bad people. Da da da da dare like, okay, whatever,

527
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: But at some point, when do you start saying, but

528
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: why do they keep lying about whether or not they

529
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: met with somebody? Like why did every person? Because you

530
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: end up realizing they did lie about it. Oh I forgot,

531
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: I didn't recall and now I recall this like whether

532
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: you fall on the side of like I don't think

533
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: they had bad intentions or I think they're good people.

534
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Forget that, Just how many times will it happen before

535
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: you go yes? Why why do they keep lying about

536
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: it if they didn't do anything wrong. I don't think

537
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: they did anything wrong like I do personally. But if

538
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: that's your attitude, I just like, how much does that

539
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: need to have him before you're like, yeah, that does.

540
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: Why would you care? We're just in a very interesting

541
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: time right now, So guys, let's just stay tuned. Uh.

542
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: And then there's also this article that came out in

543
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: The Atlantic that we all read, and it's dark man,

544
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: it is dark. It's about Paul Manifort and it's called

545
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: American Hustler, which is definitely a complimentary like a way

546
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: of making his struggle sound cool. Uh. But it opens

547
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: with him like crying and threatening to kill himself to

548
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: his daughters, and his daughter's being like, oh, brother, this

549
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: ship again. He's being a real tight wad with the cash,

550
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: like he's like, he's gonna make me serve hot dogs

551
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: at my wedding kickoff party. Right. It does feel like

552
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: when the inevitable biopick comes out of this. The role

553
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: of the daughters is going to be a plumb one.

554
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the one the Oscar bait. Yeah. Um,

555
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's if he was a torture dude. I mean,

556
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: like this article is wild because it shows you it's

557
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: like Wolf of Wall Street almost but for lobbying. Yeah yeah,

558
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: and like created lobbying as we know, as we know,

559
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: like the super corrupt. He brought everything like under the

560
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: same roof, right, that was his innovation, And like how

561
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: did that change? It used to be sort of just

562
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: lame people offering to, like, you know, help a politician

563
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: get a job, but they were saying that, you know,

564
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: the lobbying industry just in general was struggling to squeak

565
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: by before Manafort, and then he came in and in

566
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: the late seventies and early eighties and just now it's

567
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: like they're the hot shit. Yeah yeah, with Roger Stone

568
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: of course at his side, which is the other crazy

569
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: thing too, is as much as a tad himself. Yeah,

570
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: as much as you read this article and you hear Manafort,

571
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: you also see Roger Stone come up once, you're like, goddamn,

572
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: this is just the same. Dudes, Just stay in the picture.

573
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, but I guess the one thing is like,

574
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: it's a long read The Atlantic. However, did convert it

575
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: into like an audio book so you can listen to it.

576
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: We'll put that in the footnotes, because honestly, when you

577
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: listen to this, it's very hard to think that anything

578
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: that happened with Paul Manafort and the Russians and the

579
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: Trump campaign was anything but egregious. Fuccory on this part,

580
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: like he can't feign ignorance here. So when he starts

581
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: getting involved in the Trump campaign, his uh friends and

582
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: advisors are like, dude, you cannot do this because he's

583
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: in a lot of financial trouble, right he owes dictators

584
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: tons of money. He is just you know, he stole

585
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: money from a fucking oligarch, like Russian average. He's like

586
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: the friend and Rounders or like some other action movie

587
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: where they're like, oh man, I'm good for it and

588
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: like the guys to come in and save their ass.

589
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: Like that's Paul Manaford at the beginning of this. And

590
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: then Trump's like, yeah, you can run my campaign because

591
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing he was so broke he knew the

592
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: only way he was going to kind of start get

593
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: his money back, is if he could work with Trump

594
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: and best case scenario, Trump becomes president and that helps

595
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: elevate his star because everything went wrong once. Yanukovich was

596
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: outstand in Ukraine because that was just like placing, Like

597
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: I just feel like the profile, you just go all

598
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: in on the right wing machine, right and you just

599
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: assume like being next to Trump is good enough to

600
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: like at least get me out of this. Well, he's like,

601
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 1: but he was the kind of dude who would just

602
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: be like who was Marcos in the Philippines, Like gave

603
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: him a briefcase like a hundred million or ten million

604
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: dollars and he's like, hey, can you give this to Reagan?

605
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: And he's like yeah, I'll give it to Reagan and

606
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: just straight up walked off with the cash and didn't

607
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: give So like his whole thing was just being like, yeah,

608
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: I can get you here, and that was like his

609
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: money making scheme. And so now that was his whole

610
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: idea with Trump was like Okay, I owe this Russian

611
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: olgark like twenty million dollars that I stole from him,

612
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: And that was his whole thing, was like he didn't

613
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: tell Trump that, no, no, No, this is his internal

614
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: monologue as he's like, yeah, you know, I'm I'm doing

615
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: great and I can like get you in the right doors.

616
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: And you know he's a wheeler dealer. He had a

617
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: big name. Um. We talked before about how when they

618
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: were talking about his money laundering, they said that he'd

619
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: like wandered money through I think it was like three

620
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of suits or something. Uh, And that's

621
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: like not that far fetched because that's like that was

622
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: his thing, was like getting fancy suits. Yeah, I'm just wondering.

623
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: It really is an art. Yeah, like it really, I

624
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: do not have the creativity to come up with enough

625
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: ways to move money, although my bitcoin poker schemes right right,

626
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a long article. It has

627
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: everything from like crazy arms deals that go south to

628
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: him trying to like launder reputations for dictators and murderous

629
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: fucking it's wild. Just look at the whole thing. And

630
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: when you get to the point of when he meets Trump,

631
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: he's like, look, he's broke as funk, but he realizes

632
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: Trump is also cheap. So if he goes like, hey,

633
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: I'll work free with for free, Trump is gonna be like, Oh,

634
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: this dude is risk, he doesn't need money. I'm gonna

635
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: bring him one Team Trump and that's how he gets in.

636
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: And the way he even gets it. He calls Tom

637
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: Barrick and he's like, I need to get to Donald Trump,

638
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: and that's how I got there. So it gives you

639
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: another dimension where you thought Paul Manafo was just like

640
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: some doofy dude. You're like, oh, home, he was straight evil. Well,

641
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: it's also just like double grifters or triple grifters, like

642
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: grifters grift ing other grifters camp. It's like, are you on,

643
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: are there on a pyramid scheme of who is? Like

644
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: they're just passing around the same briefcase full of money

645
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: at this point, right they have to be Yeah, Yeah,

646
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: it's a It was a dream team of sort of

647
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: incompetent crookedness. I mean they all had to go in.

648
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: Every single person in the Trump administration went in with

649
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: the plan of let's shoot the moon, let's do everything.

650
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: Everyone is going to fail so hard that we're gonna win.

651
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: And they did it, which is again as a as

652
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: a gambler, admirable as hell. I love it really. Super

653
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: producer Nick Stuff was just saying, it's funny to think

654
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: about the campaign from the Russian perspective because like they

655
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: already have carter page and like all these you know

656
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: people that they have influence with Mike Flynn, uh, you know,

657
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: real in deep with the Trump campaign and then Trump's like,

658
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: and guess who are campaign manager is? Do you think

659
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: they're like two different teams at the FSB just playing

660
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: like Fantasy Chaos League against each other, And they're just like,

661
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: I don't know all my chips that because it's got

662
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: to be fun for them. You must have blew up

663
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: that grid though, and like and enter new player Manafort.

664
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: They're like, oh yeah, that means yeah, someone had a

665
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: thousand and one bet on that that came in with.

666
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: So don't really We wanted to talk about this New

667
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: York Times story that just came out, I believe yesterday, Uh,

668
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: where they did a really in depth study into whether

669
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: The Fast and the Furious movies cause people to drive

670
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: faster a century. Um, that sounds like a wild bet

671
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: like that to journalist, like smoking weed, like you think

672
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: people drive faster after seeing the movie. No, No, let's

673
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: go to the that needs to be they need to

674
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: have a section of the paper that is just that

675
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: just drunk conversations like settling I know to be true

676
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: about myself, but like I definitely didn't know that you

677
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 1: could statistically prove it. But like I definitely drive faster

678
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: after seeing Fast in the Furious movies. Right, So they

679
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: did an exhaustive search or like went through many speeding tickets, right, right,

680
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: They just looked at a single county I believe, and

681
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: just you know, across time and did a really detailed

682
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: statistical analysis of you know, how much speeding tickets rose

683
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: and what the speed people were clocked at was when

684
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: they got speeding tickets, And there was a significant rise

685
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: in the months after or a f S and the

686
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: Furious movie came out, and people were more likely to

687
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: get caught speeding near movie theaters also, And then they

688
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: compared it with like Hunger Games really s weekends no fluctuation.

689
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: Hunger Games had no fluctuation. So yeah, I don't know.

690
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: This is something that I've always thought was underrated. And

691
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: I think I might think that because I am more

692
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: affected by popular culture than other people. But just how

693
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: influenced we are by popular culture, like that seems to

694
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: be Yeah, by the daily like, like, I've just thought

695
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: it's underrated. How we change minds every day, are creating

696
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: new world parts to know. But like growing up, I

697
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: was always I would like find myself like talking like

698
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: a movie character or something, just because I don't know,

699
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: I would like take it in. When I was watching

700
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: The Sopranos a lot, I had this weird New York

701
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: accent for like a couple of months. Oh my god,

702
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: the week I got the Mr. Show DVD set was

703
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: by far my most insufferable. There's no worse person than

704
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: Andrew the week after he watched all of Mr. Show. Um. Yeah,

705
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 1: And I mean there's other examples, like the whole thing

706
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: with family being a big value with mafia people. Uh,

707
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: that was mostly started by the Godfather and like they

708
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: incorporated that afterwards, but it was mostly prior to that.

709
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: It was just like crime organizations like any other games,

710
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: just like the forty Italians on your block exactly. Uh,

711
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: but not family dinners and all that, right right, um yeah,

712
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: and the way they dressed was influenced by Brando and

713
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: another movie. Uh. So it's I don't know, I think

714
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: that's an underrated thing. Do you guys ever, do you

715
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: feel like you've made any big life decisions based on

716
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: what you're watching? Man, I think I don't know if

717
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: it's what I'm watching, Maybe it is. Uh. I really

718
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: used to only exclusively smoked blunts because of Wu Tanklan

719
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: uh and seeing Method Man and Red Man, and I'm like, oh,

720
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: they're always okay smoke rolling up a backwood. I don't know.

721
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: Hip hop definitely changed altered a lot of my consumption

722
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: habits from drugs and alcohol. Yeah, by design, I hope

723
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: that's right. Right. Going back to the video game thing, actually,

724
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: now I'm now that we're talking about it, the look

725
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: this is gonna age me a little bit. But when

726
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: my roommates, when Vision came out, when when my roommates

727
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: were playing a lot of Grand Theft Auto three, it

728
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: really desensitized me. Not in the way that you would

729
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: think to violence. It really desensitized me to how allowed

730
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: you are to just walk into traffic right like you

731
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: just thought you could just like I would just kind

732
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: of do it, and it just kind of stare down

733
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: cars being like the funk you want and this is

734
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: in New York Rocket Launch, Yeah, a little more acceptable,

735
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: but it made you feel like you were invincible to cars.

736
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: Or made me sorry, made me feel like I was

737
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: invincible to cars. It gave me the opposite effect I

738
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: would be driving. I'm like, what if I just ran

739
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 1: these people over? Like a yeah, and then and that's

740
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: the New York Times. Next. Uh study that they need

741
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: to do is weather in the aftermath of grand theft

742
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: auto game releases, if like, uh, pedestrians getting hit like rises.

743
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, but but there was a study that

744
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: said violent video games don't necessarily affect people's behavior. Right

745
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: there a thousand studies saying both. Yeah. I think the

746
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: thing is it's more subtle than that, right, It's it's

747
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: less like, oh, you think you can just beat people up.

748
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: But I do think there's like something akin to like

749
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: they just you know, you become less sensitized to how

750
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: dangerous a car is, or maybe like you could you

751
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: could do like research into like kind of disciplinary issues

752
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: in a school, like either side of a video game release,

753
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: because you might walk in your class and just talk

754
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: spicy to your teacher or like rougher kid up, just

755
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: come high off this sufic city right now. Yeah, I

756
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: just like the idea of like, first of all, this

757
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: is I'm just using this as, uh, this is poor

758
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: man's copyright. I just really want to do someone to

759
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: do a Purge movie that's just about tax fraud. But

760
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, all crime is legal, doesn't have to be

761
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: violent crimes, just like tax amnesty or whatever. I don't know,

762
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: like like if you, if you, if you follow your

763
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: fraud file, your fraudulent taxes on Purge Day, what happens? Ideas,

764
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: I made nothing this year. I just said, I just

765
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: think there's a room for a comedy in that universe,

766
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: that's all. But second of all, I'm like, I see

767
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: it's like like or with the Hunger Games example, Like

768
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: it's not like, oh, people are out shooting arrows because

769
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: the Hunger Games thing is out, but like do people

770
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 1: have a different like relationship to authority or or whatever

771
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: like that the power of the media, y'all. I wish

772
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: someone had studied this. Yeah. Well, yeah, I wonder if

773
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: bow hunting increases after Hungry Games. Yeah, or Winter's bon

774
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: Well my friends, my friends kid is all about kung

775
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: fu because of Ninjago. Yeah, um, bringing it full circle. Yeah,

776
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: And I do feel like movies, despite the fact that

777
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: they're supposedly made by liberals in uh, you know, Holly

778
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: weird in urban places they like The Hunger Games. Uh.

779
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: Writer at Cracked, David Wong talked about how like the

780
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: values in our movies are all like pro rural people,

781
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: like people out in the sticks, and like anti people

782
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: in cities, like, for instance, in The Hunger Games, the

783
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: capital everyone's like a elaborately dressed like weirdo or in

784
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: Star Wars, like you know, the the Empire is like

785
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: the city, and then like Luke, the heroes out in

786
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: the rural areas. All right, we're gonna take a break

787
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: and we're back. But for now we have more important

788
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: and things to talk about because the Super Bowls coming up,

789
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: and you know what that means halftime show saying that,

790
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: but people are yeah, justin timber Lake is the halftime performer.

791
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: People are taking bets on who will appear with him, because, uh,

792
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like he's the type of like Lady

793
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: Gaga was the first performer in a long time to

794
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: not just have a bunch of guests appear with her

795
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: last year, So they're taking bets on who will appear.

796
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: They've got t I at three to one, Timberland at

797
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: five to one, James Madonna nine to one, Jimmy Fallon

798
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: which funny tender one, Bob Dylan Weird, Jessica Beale. He

799
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: just brings his wife out and my beautiful wife, a

800
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: non musician, uh Andy Samberg fifty one for they'll do

801
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: a tack in the box thing and then this one

802
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: Janet Jackson two hundred to one, like I would put

803
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: all my any on that one. Of course they're going

804
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: to bring Janey. I want him to and because I

805
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: think he needs to reconcile. Thank you. But I've just

806
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: given my observations. I think Justin wants to move on

807
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: from that, and I don't think he wants to. Well,

808
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: he owes her. He does. Look you're talking to I've

809
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: never considered myself a stand for anyone. Well, before you

810
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: say anything, she's wearing a Rhythm Nation hat. But I

811
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: am no. I love Janet too, but I'm a huge

812
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: j T fan. But I'm disappointed in the way he

813
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: will handle that. Of course, I've also met him, so

814
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: like you kind of know, I know his heart. I've

815
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: met him once and um, I think he's I love him,

816
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: I love I love the new music. I'm really excited

817
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: about the new album. I think it's it's classic Justin.

818
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: If you're not into his music, then don't listen to it.

819
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't care, um, but I do like what he's

820
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: doing on this new album. Um. I've seen him in

821
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: concert several times, stripped Justified tour. The what stripped Justified

822
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: when he told Christina Aguilary not Justified was I see?

823
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: I like Justified as an album. It was like when

824
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: I listened to a lot and then I've listened to

825
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: other stuff. Yeah, I mean he's had some missteps, but

826
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: like I think that My thing is, I think Justin

827
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: became famous as a child, and he's lived in a

828
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: very sheltered, protected world for the majority of his life.

829
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:37,479
Speaker 1: So I just don't think he fully he's a little

830
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: at how could you not he and he doesn't. But

831
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: he's new new. His song with Chris Stapleston, which I

832
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: really enjoy, is called say Something, which goes back to

833
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: my earlier thing about silence, and the lyric is sometimes

834
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: it's better to say nothing at all, Like the best

835
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: way to say something is to say nothing at all.

836
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: And I love that message, but I'm also like Justin,

837
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: but you should say something about Janet that's kind of

838
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 1: but also, look, you know, we demand so much from

839
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: our celebrities, to the point where it's almost like you're

840
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. Um.

841
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: I wish he took more responsibility for some stuff, like, well,

842
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: I think this is the way he can make it

843
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: right with Janet. Okay, you bring Janet out and then

844
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the song, she pulls his dick

845
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: out in front, in front of everybody. She rips off

846
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: a little piece of fabric, and he's just and he

847
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: has like a weird dick ring on, like he has

848
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: a big son dick ring. You can have some jewelry,

849
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: but now that's just let's just even it up. If

850
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna put her on blast for having her nipples

851
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: out there, I guess that's it. But who knows they

852
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: might be like and that was the greatest Super Bowl

853
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: show EVERT. The fact that that was even scandalous still

854
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: to this day is unbelievable to me. Like there's people

855
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: who I guess a group of parents wrote a letter

856
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: to j T just begging him not to do any

857
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: provocative you know, it's like, if you want something provocative,

858
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: watched the men getting concussions over and over again on

859
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: the field. Watch the way that uh, you know we

860
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: treat our black athletes like that's damaging more your children

861
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: more than a star sticker on it, Like like it've

862
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: never seen a tip before? Didn't they used to eat

863
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: on your tip? Like I mean, I don't know. Maybe

864
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: they didn't. Then that's the problem. Yeah, they don't. I

865
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: don't want my children knowing about the mystery. I mean,

866
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: like it's just all of it is. So I'm not

867
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: saying I agree with it, but I totally understand where

868
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: not not understand where America is coming from. But like

869
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: that is the easiest thing to predict ever, that they're

870
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: going to be upset about that and not like botanical

871
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: background right, absolutely black breast. Now that was Look, if

872
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: that was Jessica Bieles titty up there, they would not

873
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: have been the same and we all know that. And

874
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: that was sort of the conversation that that whole controversy

875
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,439
Speaker 1: kicked off too, just like why are we holding people

876
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: to like what's going on? He did it to her,

877
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: but but she got in trouble and then so his

878
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: response was not adequate, Like he wasn't like, yeah, that

879
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: was my bad because I was the one doing it,

880
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: like he just sort of distanced that he let her

881
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: take all the heat, didn't step in and go hey everybody,

882
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: like it was it was a mistake, Like I take

883
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: full responsibility, Like he just didn't really stand up for

884
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: evading the oscar yea. And isn't he like sort of

885
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: disliked in the black community for and cultural appropriation claims

886
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: of you know him, his music is definitely borrowed. His

887
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: hair upset a lot of Japanese people because he had

888
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: that Ramen hair. It was very good. Yeah, he made

889
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: a comment on Twitter uh a while back that was

890
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: just sort of condescending and missing the point. He did

891
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of all lives, What did you think

892
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: of that video? So stupid up? I believe it's the

893
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: video I got you, I got okay, So listen, I

894
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: know all the words already. What does he mean when

895
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: he says fell up out of it so I can

896
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: climb back in. I'm a thoughtful lover or something. He's

897
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: talk that the video is trying to be socially like woke,

898
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: but the song is about fucking. Yes, and that's my

899
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: thing is like Justin does songs about fucking and that's

900
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: the majority of his music and that's what he's really

901
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: good at. And then you're trying to throw in some

902
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: social awareness ship into the video. Made no sense. But

903
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: that also does remind me of like the golden age

904
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: of music videos when the music video made no sense

905
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: and you spend like remember that time, like when every

906
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: video that came on that there's be MTV World premiers.

907
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: It would be like, plus the rhymes is scene in

908
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: the rain, like a gargoyle side of a building, man

909
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: that run of guns and roses videos where they yeah,

910
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: they like we promised the third one will make sense

911
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: of it, and it's like nothing made sense. Usually Jat

912
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: is getting corny, but I I don't mind. So his

913
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: new album was like teased as being his return to

914
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: his roots and like Man of the Woods, and then

915
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: the music does sound very much like everything else I've

916
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: heard from him, So it's kind of has a more

917
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: a Country Twain, you know what he actually do think

918
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: Justin is a really talented musician, like and he has

919
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: all like he's always just done his own thing, Like

920
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: he'll do a song and then put a three minute

921
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 1: coda on the end of it that's like a totally

922
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: different song, Like he are musician music. Yeah, he'll do things.

923
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: He does things his way. You know, he's like kind

924
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: of he doesn't mind stepping into just a slightly different

925
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: world with his music. But um, I think these songs

926
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: have like country melodies to them or country like rules

927
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: to them that then he layers on definitely has that. Yeah,

928
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's more subtle. I think people

929
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: are just they expected because of the promo made it

930
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: seem like it was going to be a country It's

931
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like his Nebraska, and uh, you know, I

932
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: love the first video is him as a robot, and

933
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, hilarious. I guess I also think

934
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: about this too. Right, we're talking about you know, super

935
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: Bowl moments and the one thing that I just want

936
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: to bring up. Sorry to do a hard transition way

937
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: from Justin, but I feel like we owe this to society.

938
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: His left Shark, right, Katie Perry's left Shark. He went

939
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: on NPR and PR tracked him down. Explained himself, Yeah,

940
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: now do you did you when you first saw left Shark?

941
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: What did you think was going? This was just a

942
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: total dude was sucking up. Yeah, I thought it was.

943
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: I thought there, I thought it was like a naked

944
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: gun situation where he had knocked the actual dancer out

945
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: and like gotten and then and then was like, oh,

946
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that crazy fun movements on a stage,

947
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: and but I didn't analyze it too hard. Well, I

948
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: thought it looked funny. Well listen to this, because we

949
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: had a straight from the shark's mouth, what happened? All right,

950
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: so take me to halftime. You're out there. This is

951
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: the question that America wants to know, a million dollar question.

952
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: What happened? Happened? So there's a set choreography, there's also

953
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: what's called freestyle choreography, or like you get to move

954
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: around or play your character as a dancer. Right, so

955
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: it seems like a critical piece of information. You had

956
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: some like you have flexibility because you are your own character.

957
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm in a seven foot blue shark costume. There's no cool.

958
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: There's no cool in that. So what's the other option. Well,

959
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a different character. This is a moment

960
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: here America. They thought you were totally flubbing this up. Yeah, totally.

961
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: What character were you going? This is the underdog, it's

962
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: an everyday person. Don't have to be perfect, you don't

963
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: have to be at work. Nobody was to be laying

964
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: of the thing. I thought he meant to do that

965
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: right exactly. Yeah, he might be, but he's like an

966
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: everyday person who can't dance would be doing this. But

967
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 1: it's when you watch like there was like clearly choreography

968
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: to like to the course, maybe he got the timing

969
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: wrong on when you were supposed to go right because

970
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: he was kind of doing the choreography and doing it

971
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: half wrong. So to me, that doesn't feel like that

972
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: was quite the freestyle moment. But I don't know. Look

973
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: if he's trying to say this, but that was the

974
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: ultimate effect of Left Shark. So in the end, the

975
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: result was more important than maybe. But if you've never

976
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: been to a Flaming Lips concert, god like where they

977
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: bring out like every character. I mean, I think she

978
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: probably got that idea from from them, but like he

979
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: brings out, you know, Flaming Lips brings out like all

980
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: these people in costumes and it's just chaos and there's

981
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: like giants everywhere, you know, And that reminded me of that,

982
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: and so to me, it didn't look as much of

983
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: a funk up as it did like, oh, she's trying

984
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: to do that thing that Laming Lips does, like a

985
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: fun party and like some of it's off, but it

986
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: was just so funny. It made everyone feel so good.

987
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: I love left Shark, Yeah, everyone does. That's always just

988
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: funny that it also that it took this long to

989
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: like for this person to come and be like, let

990
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: me tell you exactly what the Super Bowl Gosh, people

991
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: take the NFL so seriously. Actually, thinking back when you

992
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: asked what I thought at the time, I thought I

993
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: was looking at the wrong shark because I thought we

994
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: were talking stage left, and I was like looking at

995
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: the shark to her left, and I was like they

996
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of see him in sync, And then I figured

997
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: out what people were talking about. Some people it was

998
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: controversial though too. Yeah, the whole performance was controversial, right,

999
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: sat Yeah, Satan people take halftime show and all of

1000
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: this so seriously. It's like it's a sport that we

1001
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: made up, but this sentry that is being dumped into

1002
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: brains and around the world. When when you start looking

1003
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: like Satan was hidden in if you look Katie Perry

1004
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: Satanic imagery super Bowl, then their articles like was Lady

1005
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: Gaga super Bowl? Satanic was Beyonce. So it feels like

1006
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: every time there's a woman up there performing at Prato,

1007
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: it's satanic. And who knows, I'm sure they'll find a

1008
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: way to say. Justin is being said. If you are

1009
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: someone who is offended by pop music because you think

1010
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: it's part of the system of satan, because you are

1011
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: so hardcore Christian, then yes, it is satanic because you

1012
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,720
Speaker 1: think that anything that challenges or distracts you from God

1013
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: and purity is satanic. So it's like that you can

1014
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: find I mean, that's definition of satan is like away

1015
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: from God. So it's like, well, that's you're Satanist. And

1016
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: then you stand for indulgence where christ was about substaining, right,

1017
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: distaining like there's nothing in the Bible about him, know

1018
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: about sort of like of keeping Christians partying like no, no,

1019
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: but it's about staying in line, whereas Satanism is about

1020
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: indulging yourself or like indulging whatever your urgentes are. But

1021
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: it's not even an evil way because when you look

1022
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: at like the tenants, it will be like if you

1023
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: do not respect a man, do not have them in

1024
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: your homes, Like okay, so I don't like talk, don't

1025
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: be fake with somebody and then invited into your house

1026
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: and like, okay, how are you sating? This is all

1027
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:21,479
Speaker 1: part of myles is satanic Properly, I have to leave.

1028
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 1: You are filled with satanic imagery. That is definitely true. Uh.

1029
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: It's also important to note that there was a lot

1030
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: of satanic imagery in there. Uh. I guess, I guess

1031
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: what we define as satanic imagery. Uh might be loose definition,

1032
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: but you know there are pyramids, mirrors on the floor.

1033
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: I don't know what else. Mylese giant lions. That's got

1034
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: to be something because like I mean, first Peter of

1035
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: five verse eight, UH says be sober, be vigilant, because

1036
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion

1037
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: seeking made devours. So she rolled up on She pulled

1038
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: up on a fucking lion. So the MGM lion is

1039
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: say Tanny, you a lion king? Say Pink Floyd album,

1040
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: which does have a pyramid on it, God White Men.

1041
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: So it's okay. The dollar bill has a full trip.

1042
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: And isn't that ironic because the dollar money is the

1043
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: O and is our God simultaneously. It's like, what is

1044
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: that I would encourage you to discuss with your pastor.

1045
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it. For this week's weekly zeiteguys,
