There are many beautiful stories and 264 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 11: families and friendships and connections people have to it. Just personally, 265 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 11: that's not where my you know, understanding and connection to 266 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 11: you know, to society and humanity live. 267 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 268 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 11: But I'll also say, sort of as a combo, overrated underrated, 269 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 11: I would say overrated is comedy that other people like. 270 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 11: Underrated is comedy that you yourself like, like truly, that 271 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 11: is what I say with respect, like whoever it is, 272 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 11: whoever that because and here's the thing, it's not to 273 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 11: say that there's some really popular comedians who are great 274 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 11: and I love and yet they're even at a certain 275 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 11: point like that. Probably you don't stop when you're rated 276 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 11: exactly the right amount. Like, you know, if if Kevin 277 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 11: Hart's your guy, like maybe you love seeing him in 278 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 11: every commercial, you know, but maybe you don't. 279 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 3: And if if Kevin Hart's not your guy. 280 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 11: If you're like, oh, you know, if Joe Firestones, your 281 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 11: your favorite comedian or Nick Vaderat or Baron Vaughn or 282 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 11: James a castor you know, there's so many comedian who 283 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 11: certainly my mom has not heard of yet, and your 284 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 11: mom may not have heard of yet, And so there's 285 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 11: I would say, that's another I guess underrated. I guess 286 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 11: I guess what I'm saying is overrated is talking about 287 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 11: what's overrated. I'd rather talk about what's underrated. You know, Yeah, 288 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 11: so talking about the underdogs. 289 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: But I do think that's a good that's a good point. 290 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: Like I was just talking to somebody who was like 291 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: I really like, you know, I think you should leave 292 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: and the Chair company, and they were like, yeah, I've 293 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: been like trying to get into I think you should leave, 294 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: and like I just it never worked.

The very first skit, 297 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: I was like had tears pouring down my face laughing, 298 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: and the people I was on a plane with like 299 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: thought there was something wrong with me. And like that's 300 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: so just like find that for yourself. Like if it's 301 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: not happening, don't try.

Target 630 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: warehouse workers had to take legal action to actually get 631 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: paid for the thirty minutes it takes them to walk 632 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: from the entrance to their workstation. 633 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 9: Yeah. 634 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: Target is bad at this, but I do just find 635 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: this this interesting. Like I've definitely been to Trader Joe's 636 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: and had the experience of like being lost in thought 637 00:33:54,160 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: and somebody like the checkout person starting a mandatory small 638 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: talk conversation with me and like being kind of thrown 639 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: and feeling a little weird and alienated by it. But 640 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: I just think it's an interesting like that it's a 641 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: thing that if people came down or like outside of history, 642 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: if people from other eras were able to look in, 643 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: I think it would be one of the things that 644 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: everyone thought was weird about our culture. Is like like 645 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: because there's I remember there was an Either Radio Labor 646 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: This American Life episode from the early days of podcasting 647 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: where they talked about the phenomenon of when they first 648 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: opened the McDonald's in Russia after the wall fell, and 649 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: everyone was like the people who worked there were just 650 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: like what the fuck do you mean smile at them? 651 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: Like what, like what are you talking about?

There's also something 654 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: called smile mask syndrome, which was diagnosed in Japanese young 655 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: women who like work in the service industry where they 656 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: have to like smile so much that like this psychologist 657 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: was like they were still smiling while relating like really 658 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: stressful or troubling experiences, which I think is like the 659 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: movie the horror movie smile, but and like it's again 660 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: they're like this came because of Tokyo Disneyland, which opened 661 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three, and then throughout the eighties they 662 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: found this thing of like the obligatory smile in the workplace, 663 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: creating this sort of psychological or like existential weirdness that 664 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: people have a hard time dealing with. 665 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 11: Do you know, I I co sign everything you're saying, 666 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 11: and I obviously like capitalism is this is a feature 667 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 11: of it, you know, not a bug.
