Speaker 1: is something from your search history that is revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are? Carmen, I will start with you.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Okay, my search history this week is actually quite boring,
Speaker 5: and normally I'm searching some cool shit, but I've just
Speaker 5: had three weeks ago. I'm going to talk about it
Speaker 5: in my Underrated I just had a full FFS on
Speaker 5: my face facial feminization surgery, and I don't like to
Speaker 5: google these things before. I mean I do, I still do.
Speaker 5: I just forget about I forget about cold. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: like to go in cold. But now that I've had
Speaker 5: everything done, I'm like googling each of the procedures. I
Speaker 5: like to read the surgery notes that are in like
Speaker 5: my mind chart app. And I also like to google
Speaker 5: things to figure out what is what. And I'm just
Speaker 5: looking at diagrams of like endoscopic brow lifts, PYPE three,
Speaker 5: forehead reconstruction, right open rhinoplasty. I'm like really obsessed with
Speaker 5: what they were doing to me while I was under.
Speaker 1: So look amazing, congratulations three weeks later.
Speaker 2: That's wild.
Speaker 5: Yeah I never looked that bad. Actually it was all
Speaker 5: thanks to pineapple juice and arnica. So drink your pineapple juice,
Speaker 5: take your.
Speaker 3: Pep.
Speaker 5: It does not make your cum taste better, you know.
Speaker 3: It kind of does.
Speaker 4: I'm a truth about this. Car just hates pineapple, just
Speaker 4: hates pineapples. Oh really, it doesn't make it better.
Speaker 3: The only thing that makes your com taste better is
Speaker 3: a beef burg and yawn.
Speaker 5: The blin. It's supposed to help with bruising and swelling
Speaker 5: as well as the arnica. So I like did a
Speaker 5: double a double whammy. Wow, okay, Yeah, And I was
Speaker 5: only bruised for about a week, so pretty good.
Speaker 1: Oh is that is that the where'd you get that
Speaker 1: cup from that looked like a hospital? Oh?
Speaker 5: This is from my This is my little souvenir I
Speaker 5: stole from the hospital university.
Speaker 1: That's like, I love, I love a hospital ice cup.
Speaker 3: It's been big.
Speaker 1: That cup was designed to hold ice chips.
Speaker 5: Yes, so yeah, I took it with me. I shout
Speaker 5: out to Emory. They really got me together.
Speaker 3: They're quite nice.
Speaker 4: I got a sorr that would be good for like
Speaker 4: bart and like making like a like a mint jewelip,
Speaker 4: like something that needs like like crumbly ice.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, you go in the hospital cup.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you call it the hospital or they don't walk
Speaker 4: around the hospital drinking a mint jewel up Like I'm
Speaker 4: at the Kentucky Derby. I'm likeating on who's gonna die
Speaker 4: standing outside the hospital room like like within myself with
Speaker 4: like a like a brochure.
Speaker 3: Come on, right, he's flat lining.
Speaker 2: Come on.
Speaker 3: They saved somebody's life, all right, Stop the count, stop
Speaker 3: the keeping the nurses from going in. They're like, no,
Speaker 3: I got a lot of money on this.
Speaker 2: Something from your search history.
Speaker 3: Oh you know my search history was kind of boring.
Speaker 3: That's always funny.
Speaker 4: It's like always like the same kind of like looking
Speaker 4: up like I don't know, like how to find like
Speaker 4: an item in Dark Souls or something, but like.
Speaker 3: Something kind of interesting.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to go too far
Speaker 4: into it because it's a lot and it's insane, But
Speaker 4: you mentioned the like since Ariana Grande has been like
Speaker 4: in the news so much lately, it reminded me of
Speaker 4: this like very strange coincidence. If you google the words
Speaker 4: death Grips, like the bands death Grips, like the Experimental
Speaker 4: Wrap Trio and Ariana Grande, there's a lot of insane
Speaker 4: like mash. Maybe maybe there's not no, it's it's darker
Speaker 4: than that. It's like a numerological like there's this very
Speaker 4: insane correlation between the band Death Gripts releasing their album
Speaker 4: Steroids and the like bombing that happened in at a
Speaker 4: Manchester like Ariana Grande concert where the album was released
Speaker 4: on five, twenty two seventeen and its length is twenty
Speaker 4: two minutes and thirty one seconds that the bombing occurred on.
Speaker 4: Really wow, what do.
Speaker 2: You want to do with it? Where were you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like I was at homegoings.
Speaker 3: I fucking told you.
Speaker 2: I told Janey, what did I tell you?
Speaker 4: I'm should I should have just talked about how to
Speaker 4: find the symbol of avarice and dark souls one.
Speaker 6: There you go there, That's why I just go too. Yeah,
Speaker 6: rab it, I'm the amount of things I'm seeing on
Speaker 6: Reddit already.
Speaker 4: I my, yeah, are you looking it up? It is
Speaker 4: like I don't know, it's not I don't like, I
Speaker 4: don't know. I was thinking about this earlier this week
Speaker 4: with the uh, did y'all talk about the Joe Rogan
Speaker 4: believes in dragons kind of story that happened? Oh no,
Speaker 4: my god no. So it was like a thing on
Speaker 4: the View where one of those girls said, like, Joe
Speaker 4: Rogan someone who like believes in dragons, And I'm not
Speaker 4: a Joe Rogan fan, but the clip they were talking
Speaker 4: about it kind of caused.
Speaker 3: Like a flare up on like Twitter and stuff.
Speaker 4: And the clip they were talking about was from like
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, when Joe Rogan was still like a little
Speaker 4: bit like more on the more lighthearted, just like talking
Speaker 4: about like.
Speaker 3: You know, a monkey's really strong, you can grip your.
Speaker 4: Face off, but yeah, it's like a it's like a hypothetical,
Speaker 4: like what if like dragons were real, and like it's
Speaker 4: just a more kind of fun conspiracy. It's a thing
Speaker 4: that makes you go hm, as opposed to something that
Speaker 4: like you just like lose your mind and you know,
Speaker 4: end up doing like devastating things about So. I don't know,
Speaker 4: I just thought, I just think it's a very interesting
Speaker 4: set of insane coincidences that it's interesting.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Asking just asking some questions.
Speaker 3: If there's any.
Speaker 1: Anything other than interesting, Yeah.
Speaker 4: If there's any if there's any Death Grips fans as listeners,
Speaker 4: I bet they would.
Speaker 3: They're probably a little weird as it is. They would
Speaker 3: probably get a little.
Speaker 4: Bit of a bit, a bit of a hmm out
Speaker 4: of this, or they'll lose their mind, or they'll be like,
Speaker 4: this is talking directly to me.
Speaker 2: There's a very.
Speaker 1: Specific group of people who were arguing that Kendrick Lamar
Speaker 1: and Father John Misty or somehow cosmically linked because the
Speaker 1: albums at the same time.
Speaker 2: Supposedly that is.
Speaker 3: Really really weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially with this new one, because no one knew
Speaker 4: this Kendrick Lamar album is coming out and fucking Father
Speaker 4: Josh Till maybe he did, maybe that I haven't paid
Speaker 4: the attention to Father John Mistis in a while, but
Speaker 4: I do like the new album.
Speaker 3: It's very pretty.
Speaker 1: You play the Kendrick Lamar back album backwards and it's just.
Speaker 2: Somehow.
Speaker 4: Another another fun one like that is the like David
Speaker 4: Bowie Kanye West one.
Speaker 3: Do you guys know about that?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's like that.
Speaker 4: If you look at the cover of Uh start Us
Speaker 4: the Street, Yeah, the street he's standing on is cake.
Speaker 2: I remember the.
Speaker 3: Story is kind of like that.
Speaker 4: The person that that Ziggy starred us or the person
Speaker 4: that David Bowie is singing about who's like a rock
Speaker 4: star who comes down to save the world and is
Speaker 4: like a genre defining artist, is Kanye West. I feel
Speaker 4: like we can probably put that one to bed by
Speaker 4: everything about that checks out one unless unless what David
Speaker 4: Billie meant was that like he's going to become like
Speaker 4: an evil hit Larry and figure right the way that
Speaker 4: maybe it.
Speaker 1: Can restore balance to the force, you.
Speaker 3: Know, and trains around on time.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't sleep on Kanye West is the
Speaker 1: savior of humanity.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's doing great things for doing nitrous.
Speaker 6: It's the best thing that we've heard. So yeah, I
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know if that unless the Starman
Speaker 6: was it in the lyrics that he would just be
Speaker 6: off NAS all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I think that you hear that
Speaker 4: and sufferget said, right, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: That's what about this?
Speaker 2: Like does NAS have a mute?
Speaker 1: Not NAS the rapper, but like NAS the drink. Does
Speaker 1: it have like a musical esthetic, like the way that
Speaker 1: you know, like psychedelic rock has.
Speaker 3: The only people that I knew who drank NOS were people.
Speaker 6: That like just got out of rehab about nitrous oxide NS.
Speaker 7: You're talking about NA the energy drink, No, I mean
Speaker 7: almost definitely a reference to I think that the energy drink.
Speaker 4: I could be wrong on this, but I think it's
Speaker 4: brewed with nitrous like Guinness sort of. I could be me,
Speaker 4: but it might be.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Nitrous is having a moment though, because like galaxy gas,
Speaker 4: which is like a legal way to do it, and
Speaker 4: it's very weird. Like yeah, I don't know how much
Speaker 4: I've talked about my like junkie past, but like like
Speaker 4: a long time ago, I was a very different bad person.
Speaker 4: And even when I was like doing like Heroin and Ship,
Speaker 4: I would see people like huffing things.
Speaker 3: I'd be like, oh, no, that can kill you.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 3: You guys are you guys are crazy.
Speaker 4: Nowthing about inhaling something like I don't know, I have
Speaker 4: like an old, big giant balloon.
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's because I'm asthmatic and I'm afraid that like
Speaker 4: if I breathe something in for too long, it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's game over and I can't.
Speaker 6: I mean, if you said for an actual sound, the
Speaker 6: closest I would say is like there is a Tame
Speaker 6: and Polo track called Nangs, which it's like slang for
Speaker 6: nitrous oxide, and the sound is like there's like a
Speaker 6: sort of robbing yeah, like wobbly keyboard in it that
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, that sort of replicates the feeling.
Speaker 1: But I guess I don't know. It's hard to be like, dude,
Speaker 1: they're there. You can tell they're so like artistic because
Speaker 1: of the Nangs.
Speaker 4: There's also the new Little Uzivert album where allegedly there's
Speaker 4: a song where he like rips a galaxy gas rip
Speaker 4: like in the middle of the song, oh god, even
Speaker 4: amongst like Uzivert fans, people don't like it are.
Speaker 1: Bad after that. Yeah, it's not a thing I associate
Speaker 1: with productivity of any sort, no artistic.
Speaker 4: I've always been a skeptic when people are like, oh,
Speaker 4: the Beatles made good albums because of psychedelics, It's like, no,
Speaker 4: they made good albums because they were creative they're writing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's not that's not how you can take all the
Speaker 4: psychedelics you want. It's not gonna make you make abby
Speaker 4: right right, Like, yeah, I can point in the direction
Speaker 4: of some people who are cooked off acid. People put
Speaker 4: a little in front of them and they ain't doing shit. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't. I couldn't imagine Nitrius doing any better.
Speaker 2: No, I mean because if you think.
Speaker 6: About it, at least, like with psychedelics, people are like
Speaker 6: I can kind of see them looking at things different.
Speaker 6: You talk to somebody off the gas or like, nothing
Speaker 6: happening in there that's worth talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is something you think is underrated? The current
Speaker 2: switch for you aps a completely non political, potentially huge
Speaker 2: woman uniting quest to see if we're alone in the universe.
Speaker 2: That has gotten really fricking interesting the last few years, whereas.
Speaker 1: You on your like do you because we are fans,
Speaker 1: we're interested, but I also don't really know where we stand,
Speaker 1: like in terms of do you believe that, did you
Speaker 1: believe like the David Grush testimony at the David.
Speaker 2: Grush I actually do believe him. Like he's just the
Speaker 2: and I've seen long form interviews with him and stuff.
Speaker 2: He's just the right level of I think he like,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this is light whatsoever. I think he
Speaker 2: possibly has set himself with a friend of his has
Speaker 2: said he's kind of slightly autistic in a way where
Speaker 2: you can really trust him because he very much values
Speaker 2: detail and the truth, and like that guy really seems
Speaker 2: to be an incredibly trustworthy source of what he's saying.
Speaker 2: Lou Alessandro, I don't know what the fuck that guy's
Speaker 2: dealers that guys, I smell a rat. There's something.
Speaker 1: Game is but I mean it seems like his endgame
Speaker 1: is like, we need bigger guns to shoot the alien.
Speaker 2: And that's a thing, right, Lou Alexander. If people don't know,
Speaker 2: he's one of the sort of foremost people who's been
Speaker 2: blowing the lead on the current UAP phenomenon and bringing
Speaker 2: these documents to beer and talking to Congress and stuff.
Speaker 2: But I think this is the same with Grush. But
Speaker 2: they just seems something grubbier about it. Was Lou Alexander
Speaker 2: that everything he sees has to get approved by the
Speaker 2: Department of Defense, and I'm like, well, then why are
Speaker 2: they telling us this, Like they don't generally they're not
Speaker 2: big fans of just full disclosure and transparency. Usually they
Speaker 2: have an agenda behind releasing information like that. So Loud,
Speaker 2: I don't know Grush, I'm a grush boy. I'm a
Speaker 2: grush girl. I don't know what his groupies are called.
Speaker 2: Grush group is, yeah, networks, I mean it's gush. Social
Speaker 2: hair is the main reason they distrusted.
Speaker 6: But go ahead, Oh interesting, No, No, I mean I
Speaker 6: think with all this, like I'm I'm in that thing
Speaker 6: where like.
Speaker 1: Bro, I need us to not be alone, like I
Speaker 1: need this, I need.
Speaker 6: This, but I also need to believe to needing need
Speaker 6: these motherfucking aliens here now. But I guess the thing
Speaker 6: that I'm like, like everything, it's like, I just give
Speaker 6: us some modicum of hard evidence, please, Like I just
Speaker 6: I'm willing, I'm willing. I just need a little bit,
Speaker 6: just a little something.
Speaker 2: You got to tune in brother the Tic takes the
Speaker 2: Tic Take video from like three years ago. There was,
Speaker 2: of course, in all of these military the fishers coming
Speaker 2: out saying like we've got it on right eye. I
Speaker 2: saw this thing with my own two eyes. That thing
Speaker 2: doesn't fly like anything. That sort of obeys the lords
Speaker 2: of physics. It's fast, right, yeah.
Speaker 6: I think it's the other part where it's like when
Speaker 6: we're talking about like, well we have non biologics that
Speaker 6: non humor, yeah, non human biologics and those technologies or whatever,
Speaker 6: and talking about like this global potential network of crash
Speaker 6: recovery groups and how they send that technology to government, it's.
Speaker 1: Like, just give me a fu something. Just give me
Speaker 1: a fucking uniform, like a little badge from that ship.
Speaker 1: Just something a little bit more.
Speaker 6: Because I think that's where most like, I think it
Speaker 6: just sort of ends with the tik tak videos, and
Speaker 6: that's certainly enough for me to be like holy shit, what,
Speaker 6: But now I'm like, what's the sort of next phase
Speaker 6: of disclosure? And then when I hear all the people
Speaker 6: all the theories about like dude, they can't fuck you,
Speaker 6: just take care to drop all that shit.
Speaker 1: Fucking right now, dude.
Speaker 6: I mean they got a private gain that part too,
Speaker 6: But but really, can I just make with it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make sense that we have alien bodies
Speaker 2: like that just seems like too big a deal to
Speaker 2: possibly be true, that we've just got alien bodies somewhere right, Like.
Speaker 1: Trump hasn't done a press conference with one of them, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no way he would be able to keep the
Speaker 1: lid on that.
Speaker 2: Well, that wouldn't endorse him. So he's cut them off
Speaker 2: right exactly.
Speaker 6: But I mean, so, but what do you think because
Speaker 6: Grush did say that he's like, I haven't seen them,
Speaker 6: but I know people that have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alexander, I think sort of walked right up to
Speaker 2: the line of saying he's basically seeing them. I think, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't see him too.
Speaker 1: Hey, I want to see him too. Let you see that.
Speaker 1: We all want to see I want to look at that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be cool about it.
Speaker 2: I'll be cool. I think it's underrated as it's just
Speaker 2: like there's there's so much hectic ship that's a bummer
Speaker 2: at the moment, and this is just like a very
Speaker 2: hopefully will remaining be remaining a politically neutral exciting possibility
Speaker 2: that we can just kind of like, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: I can just I know climate change is real and
Speaker 2: democracy is over, and but can I can I just
Speaker 2: think about the aliens while I smoke a joint for
Speaker 2: like thirty minutes a little for.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Bro, I would love to smoke a joint
Speaker 1: with a alien. You know what I mean? Now we're
Speaker 1: talking about bro, maybe I go, oh, ship, I didn't
Speaker 1: know you like to get wet.
Speaker 2: PCP my man. Sure like when they sent Denis Robman
Speaker 2: to North Korea, Snoop Snoop Dogg will be our representative
Speaker 2: of Earth to Alphiston.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and that makes perfect sense to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that's who they would pick. They'd be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can we take us to your actually, Snoop Dogg, we
Speaker 1: just get.
Speaker 6: We send some like accomplished like astronomer And they're like,
Speaker 6: you know, Snoop dog.
Speaker 2: We love that song.
Speaker 6: Drop it like it's hot. It just hit our airwaves
Speaker 6: from twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wouldn't want to smoke a joint with Neil
Speaker 2: deGrasse Tyson, but I would with Snoop Dogg. No, no, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: he's a bummer. Total bummer.
Speaker 1: I feel like he would just start asking you what
Speaker 1: you thought of him in various ways. Yeah, do you
Speaker 1: have any cousins?
Speaker 2: Cousins? Well, you guys, this is interesting to me because
Speaker 2: I didn't know it was any I've always I've felt
Speaker 2: a little I've got mixed feelings about day duty. He
Speaker 2: gives off an interesting vibe.
Speaker 8: I feel like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't fuck with
Speaker 8: Nail Digress tis as a figure first of all, as
Speaker 8: a like he's apparently you know, as a person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then also just his general like there's a
Speaker 1: there's a fine line between people who bring additional scientific
Speaker 1: insight that makes the world more interesting and people who
Speaker 1: are just fucking haters and are just like no, no, actually,
Speaker 1: and he like just doesn't seem to have a very
Speaker 1: good instinct for making things more interesting instead, Yeah, just
Speaker 1: is there to like kind of quote back things that
Speaker 1: sound smart or like point out things that are wrong?
Speaker 2: And it just I don't know, I'm like, what are
Speaker 2: you in it for? Then? Man?
Speaker 1: Like, why why are you? Why are we even here?
Speaker 1: If you're not like on fire to like make space
Speaker 1: and science more interesting to people? What are you even
Speaker 1: doing here other than just trying to like corner the market,
Speaker 1: and like sometimes I feel like he does that, but
Speaker 1: a lot of the time it just feels like he's
Speaker 1: just trying to point out when shit is wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd never put my finger on it before, but
Speaker 2: it's like an own the Libs style of scientific education.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 3: Owned.
Speaker 1: He just shows up places. That's a big stamp owned.
Speaker 1: You've been degrassed, Yeah, Neil degrass. Tyson's punch out. The
Speaker 1: worst any scam blake was something he thinks overrated.
Speaker 9: George Armstrong Picket and his charge I think is incredibly overrated.
Speaker 9: The man was massacred. No, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: With actually that, I'm gonna go with that. I don't
Speaker 1: know some more enough.
Speaker 9: Okay, it was at Gettysburg Pickets charge. They ran up
Speaker 9: a hill right into Union. Uh or in your world,
Speaker 9: Jack the the other side, the bad guy, the Northern aggressors,
Speaker 9: the Northern aggressors, and s.
Speaker 6: George Armstrong is Custer by the way, Oh Custer was
Speaker 6: George Armstrong Custer.
Speaker 1: George ed George.
Speaker 9: Pickett, Oh, George Edward Pickett.
Speaker 3: Thank you, dude.
Speaker 6: I pick up a lot from hanging out with Jack
Speaker 6: because he shows me all of these cards and like.
Speaker 1: And that was my passive aggressive way of correcting. You say, wow,
Speaker 1: I don't I actually don't know that one a little
Speaker 1: bit about it. You have a George Edward Oh you
Speaker 1: mean George Edward Pickett.
Speaker 3: Mistake.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I thought you knew about some Civil War battle that
Speaker 1: I was unfamiliar with.
Speaker 2: But you were wrong.
Speaker 6: This is the weirdest lib version about arguing about the
Speaker 6: Confederacy show.
Speaker 9: In this scenario, Jack is just a bigot that I
Speaker 9: got him a William to come say Sherman card and
Speaker 9: he crossed out to come say so quick with a
Speaker 9: with a permanent marker. And that's that's another general. And
Speaker 9: if you want to correct me on that middle name,
Speaker 9: you're fucking wrong.
Speaker 1: You say George.
Speaker 6: You said William to comes to Sherman, Right, yeah, yeah, George,
Speaker 6: George Edward Pickett, excuse me, George Armstrong Custer. People say,
Speaker 6: you know, he fucked up. Georgia is so bad. That's
Speaker 6: why so much of the bad feelings about the Confederacy
Speaker 6: rising up remained to this day.
Speaker 9: He could have taken off the gas a little bit.
Speaker 9: I think General Sherman was went a little too hard.
Speaker 6: Hey, he said he'd make Georgia hal and he did.
Speaker 6: He did not a liar yet, drunk but not. I
Speaker 6: read his book a few of it. I really am
Speaker 6: interested in Sherman. He's just kind of a fucking weird guy.
Speaker 2: I read it pinned down.
Speaker 6: He's hard to pin down where he stood on like slavery,
Speaker 6: but he knew he hated people that liked slavery. It's
Speaker 6: just like his writings are very all over the place.
Speaker 6: But he hey, man, you can, I'll take it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, for real.
Speaker 6: What's crazy too, because all of his ship, he didn't
Speaker 6: get to fight in any of the wars, so he
Speaker 6: just spent his time riding his horse around the South
Speaker 6: and then so and like he missed all these other
Speaker 6: bigger wars like the Seminole Water showing up late.
Speaker 1: He's getting passed over.
Speaker 6: So then by the time the Civil War hit, He's like, bro,
Speaker 6: I know this fucking entire map like the back of
Speaker 6: my hand. I've just been listening to fucking emo music
Speaker 6: on my horse this whole time.
Speaker 9: I'm ready put me in. If that guy had like
Speaker 9: four pent up wars.
Speaker 1: In him and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, a little little freaky m m all right,
Speaker 6: So that let's take a quick break.
Speaker 2: Whatever that was that was your overhead thing, Okay, George.
Speaker 1: Something, Edward Pickett's charge, Edward Pickett's charge. That's right, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. Well, come right back and
Speaker 1: talk about Drake. We're Ryanan.
Speaker 2: And we're back. We're back and we're back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it is time press ask you both, what
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? Janey, you want to
Speaker 1: kick us off this underrated?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, So this is another another one I've just been
Speaker 4: kind of thinking about a lot lately as we like
Speaker 4: further like descend into like horrific fascism. But I really
Speaker 4: I really hate these people. I really hate like the
Speaker 4: world right now. I really hate a lot of things.
Speaker 4: But one thing that is really kind of like just
Speaker 4: sticking with me, that has stuck with me, like since
Speaker 4: the election is seeing all of these like tasteless losers
Speaker 4: like gloating and being happy and you know not I
Speaker 4: would never, by any means hand it to the Nazis,
Speaker 4: But the Italians had some style, you know, they had
Speaker 4: some swag.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: In fact, I think if I remember my history correctly,
Speaker 4: they were only in it for the suits. These people
Speaker 4: like seeing these motherfuckers like be like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: church is so aesthetic to going, like having a family
Speaker 4: is so base, like all these like boring just boring
Speaker 4: signifiers of like white Protestant Christianity and touting it as
Speaker 4: this like aesthetic standard of like beauty.
Speaker 3: It's like what happened to taste?
Speaker 4: Like what happened to like I don't know, like I
Speaker 4: seem to maybe like I'm retconning this in my mind,
Speaker 4: but like I seem to remember like evil fascists had
Speaker 4: some form of like I don't know, like taste like
Speaker 4: like salo like like they were like I don't know,
Speaker 4: like they were they had they had some kind of
Speaker 4: evil elegance to them. But I guess it's just like
Speaker 4: distinctly American that like our form of fascism is like
Speaker 4: they're making beef tellow come back to McDonald but it's
Speaker 4: so gross.
Speaker 5: I mean, the only I use as beefcallo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but is actually it's just so gross.
Speaker 1: Like I maybe we were cool after all all along
Speaker 1: because president, because we're in power the thing that's always cool, right,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand the theory that they they're
Speaker 1: like we won the guy we like won the presidential election,
Speaker 1: and therefore maybe we were cool.
Speaker 2: Right, that's presidents aren't cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It also it also ties them with the whole like
Speaker 4: people like being like the whole kind of push to
Speaker 4: make conservatism seem like countercultural, seem like punk rock and stuff.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, well, now you control every chamber of government.
Speaker 4: How fucking punk rock is that? Like how rage against
Speaker 4: the machine is that?
Speaker 3: Dude? Like it's it's fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Like it's just these people make no good art, no
Speaker 4: good music, no good nothing, and they get to walk
Speaker 4: around like they're like the symbols of like aesthetic beauty,
Speaker 4: and I hate it.
Speaker 3: It makes me so what are there?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I heard somebody bring this up.
Speaker 1: I forget who it was, but I do, Like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna listen, but who I want somebody to
Speaker 1: listen to their podcasts Once Trump is an off, Like
Speaker 1: what are they They're gonna just be like, man, the
Speaker 1: president is cool?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: And Also another weird thing is how like all these
Speaker 4: like especially if you're like still like on Twitter, like
Speaker 4: all of these like right wing accounts like to use
Speaker 4: like AI, which is like I thought you guys were
Speaker 4: the ones that had like bronze age statues as like
Speaker 4: your avatars and.
Speaker 3: Being like this is like peak like blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: It's like but now you're all like proudly touting like
Speaker 4: AI slop like it's it's ugly. Every everything is ugly,
Speaker 4: and it's I just hate it. I hate not that,
Speaker 4: like fascism would be better if it was pretty, so
Speaker 4: it's for the record, it would still be horrible.
Speaker 2: But they're not even bothering with that part.
Speaker 4: Yes, I think that's what is that we're not even
Speaker 4: bothering with Like yeah, it's just everything's ugly.
Speaker 3: Everything is a mara fat and gross and I hate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like when history books look back on this period
Speaker 1: of fascism, it's gonna be like, wait, how did they
Speaker 1: fall for this ship?
Speaker 2: It so awful, I know, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not who who made the quote about like
Speaker 4: we couldn't like destroy any American cultural landmark because their
Speaker 4: cultural landmarks are like McDonald's and SpongeBob.
Speaker 1: You know, we spread them out like oxygen, trying to
Speaker 1: take us down, try and take it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and isn't that what's cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they if they if we don't get the
Speaker 4: Beef's sallow backs a terrorist one.
Speaker 2: That's right, right exactly. Carmen was something you thinks underrated.
Speaker 5: Oh, I think getting your whole face done is so underrated.
Speaker 5: And this is for assists people too. If you if
Speaker 5: you don't like something about your face, go and see
Speaker 5: a plastic surgeon. Baby. Now, granted, mine was covered by insurance,
Speaker 5: and it did cost two hundred thousand dollars for the insurance,
Speaker 5: not for me, but I got a ten hour surgery
Speaker 5: on the day before election day, and Janie came and
Speaker 5: visited me in the hospitals. But the day with me
Speaker 5: in the hospital in fact on election day, and it
Speaker 5: was just a great time. I loved getting surgery. I
Speaker 5: love being in the hospital. I you know, it's great.
Speaker 1: And I'm the one person who had a good election day.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow, horrible election day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say I was watching from my bed
Speaker 5: in the hospital and I was like, you know what
Speaker 5: this is.
Speaker 3: This fucking sucks.
Speaker 5: And I quickly emailed my my other surgeon to schedule
Speaker 5: my fucking breast augmentation.
Speaker 4: So I was trying to make her feel better too,
Speaker 4: Like I was like, I brought her some soup, like
Speaker 4: we're hanging out.
Speaker 3: She was like a little worried about it. I was like,
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's going to be close.
Speaker 4: And this was my opinion for a long time, like
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be really close, but I
Speaker 4: think she'll eke it out at the end. I even
Speaker 4: had a kind of fun theory in my head that
Speaker 4: maybe the Democrats would lose the popular vote. But when
Speaker 4: the Electoral College obviously none of this, none of this
Speaker 4: came to be. But I felt like bad because like
Speaker 4: I I lied to her. Yeah, I told her everything
Speaker 4: was going to be okay, and.
Speaker 3: I was just I don't know.
Speaker 4: I felt bad because I pay attention to this stuff,
Speaker 4: and I like, I mean not saying Carmen doesn't, but
Speaker 4: like all of my people that I knew, I was
Speaker 4: trying to like reassure them, like, look, I think she'll
Speaker 4: eak it out. I think it's gonna be okay. Yeah right,
Speaker 4: And I was not really wrong. They hand down the
Speaker 4: road for a couple more years.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: Guys. Trump was so cool the first time. Everything he
Speaker 1: was so dumb.
Speaker 2: He was so dumb.
Speaker 1: He couldn't even do nothing. Oh my god, night is
Speaker 1: about to get so funny.
Speaker 4: Punk, We're about to get another American idiot guys like
Speaker 4: I won't say real quick. I spent election night playing
Speaker 4: a board game called Storm the Capitol with my bandmates.
Speaker 4: We were supposed to be practicing, but I was like, God,
Speaker 4: I'm too distracted. Can we just play this board game?
Speaker 3: And it's a board game made like by J six
Speaker 3: No it was it was made by Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: made by like ironic, like lefty, like podcaster type.
Speaker 4: It's a very fun board game. It shouts out to
Speaker 4: the Storm the Capitol. Board game you play is like
Speaker 4: The Capitol Police versus. It's like it's like an insurrection
Speaker 4: Monopoly mixed with like a Magic the Gathering type combat system.
Speaker 3: It's really fun.
Speaker 6: Like so then are you as Capitol Police like faced
Speaker 6: with like a card. It's like do you acknowledge your
Speaker 6: inner inclinations to support these people and look.
Speaker 2: The other way? Or do you do your job?
Speaker 1: No, it's more like it with Biked Alaska.
Speaker 4: I have like the Capitol Police is like the Dungeon
Speaker 4: Master kind of and you control like three different police
Speaker 4: officers and then everyone else is like the insurrectionists and
Speaker 4: they have to go through flipping desks to find ballots
Speaker 4: and once they find enough ballots, they have to get
Speaker 4: to the Great Rotunda, climb onto the roof, and go
Speaker 4: and meet President Trump for his victory. And I'm trying
Speaker 4: to stop that and you get like car there's like
Speaker 4: event cards where you have to like sing the national
Speaker 4: anthem and its entirety. There's one that's like a fuck
Speaker 4: Mary Kill type thing. The event cards are really fun.
Speaker 4: It's really fun and it's entirety, like with the slavery
Speaker 4: versus I don't know, we don't know about that. As
Speaker 4: the dungeon Master, when I did that, I well, my
Speaker 4: friend didn't know the national anthem, so I don't think
Speaker 4: he would have known the I don't think he would
Speaker 4: have known. The remix of it.
Speaker 1: No, I just feel like that would be like the
Speaker 1: deep cut of that game. It's like, no, the full version.
Speaker 4: Well, if you're playing as Capitol Police, you can. You
Speaker 4: have free will to to throw in things like that
Speaker 4: if you want.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna be uh, it's gonna have
Speaker 1: the same evolution as the game Monopoly, where like Monopoly
Speaker 1: started as a satire of capitalism.
Speaker 4: Now it's just like, oh yeah, yeah, it would be
Speaker 4: funny seeing conservatives like they're in prison playing.
Speaker 1: Start to get bought by Parker Brothers.
Speaker 3: There's nothing like the real thing. What is something, Carmen
Speaker 3: that you think it is overrated?
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think it's gonna anyone's surprised. But the US,
Speaker 5: the US sucks. I went on. I left the country
Speaker 5: for the first time in October. I went to Miles's
Speaker 5: homeland of.
Speaker 1: Age, Japan with my mom, who knows based on what
Speaker 1: Trump does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what do it?
Speaker 5: Because you can buy a really nice house in Japan
Speaker 5: for not much money, which is pretty great. But I'm
Speaker 5: a total wiaboo now because they fucking blew my mind
Speaker 5: with the public transportation over there. Imagine that every city
Speaker 5: has inner city transportation on a train that comes like
Speaker 5: every two minutes. And imagine that you could get on
Speaker 5: a bullet train and go fucking anywhere you want to
Speaker 5: in the country. And imagine that the trains don't smell
Speaker 5: like piss.
Speaker 1: Because they smell like pooh.
Speaker 2: Don't smell like poo galaxy gas flavor galaxy.
Speaker 5: But imagine that every train station and is a fucking
Speaker 5: mall with public restrooms and like shops and like lockers
Speaker 5: and all of this shit. I'm just like, wow, they
Speaker 5: are like in the year like four thousand and twenty four.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're describing so many sci fi universes
Speaker 1: that I've seen, and it's just like, nah, we just
Speaker 1: went to Japan and like showed all what looks like.
Speaker 2: And you guys were like, wow, sandwich on the train platform.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, imagine if we fucking cared enough about our
Speaker 5: own people to do public transportation right like that, it
Speaker 5: would never happen.
Speaker 3: And they get to be a fascist country too.
Speaker 2: They did it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, they did their things.
Speaker 5: I was actually there during up the political uh, like
Speaker 5: when the election campaign was kicking off, so I saw
Speaker 5: a bunch of like stump speeches, and some of them
Speaker 5: sound I obviously didn't know what they were saying, but
Speaker 5: the tenor was yes, you know, and I know that
Speaker 5: they do have very nationalists like politics.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So it's like even for me, like I love being
Speaker 6: in Japan, but like there's still that part where like
Speaker 6: I'm not really considered Japanese like so broadly in through
Speaker 6: the eyes of like traditional Japanese culture, which fucking sucks
Speaker 6: because I speak Japanese fluently without an accent and people are.
Speaker 2: Like, where'd you learn how to talk like that?
Speaker 1: And I'm always like, because I'm Japanese right right.
Speaker 4: You're like the uh you know those YouTube videos where
Speaker 4: it's like white boy goes to Chinese village speaks fluent Mandara.
Speaker 3: And locals.
Speaker 2: Like how would you do that? Brown skin?
Speaker 5: And I'm like, my mother had several moments where they
Speaker 5: made fun of me for because I tried to speak
Speaker 5: as much Japanese as I possibly could, because I understood
Speaker 5: that like that's the most one of the most respectful
Speaker 5: things that you can do, and I, you know, try
Speaker 5: to follow like the customs and stuff for as best
Speaker 5: I could. But one time, you know, I was like, Ohio,
Speaker 5: because I'm you know, like to the like attendant at
Speaker 5: the seven eleven, and then the guy, the Japanese guy
Speaker 5: who came after me was like, good morning, and I
Speaker 5: was like, fun of me.
Speaker 4: Right now, I do the same thing when I'm practicing Spanish,
Speaker 4: Like when I'm like working somewhere with a bunch of
Speaker 4: Spanish people, I'll well, I'll try to like practice my
Speaker 4: Spanish and they'll be like, oh no, it's okay, Like
Speaker 4: like I feel like the only way I could learn
Speaker 4: is if I was like, had like a dialogue with someone,
Speaker 4: but don't like they just they don't. I guess it's
Speaker 4: not their emotional labor to teach me Spanish, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, no, I want to. I want to.
Speaker 2: I want to do it. I want to Kiero yo,
Speaker 2: Kiero to do it.
Speaker 1: Caro practice card Spanol.
Speaker 3: No, okay, I want to be like Denzel Washington and
Speaker 3: training day.
Speaker 1: Right right right, yeah, you want to be smooth with it.
Speaker 2: I get I'll tell you, man, somebody smoke PCP.
Speaker 1: You never get a ride with Janie. Watch you hit
Speaker 1: this real quick. Damn Carmen, I didn't know he got wet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, Carmen, that's galaxy.
Speaker 5: That's what she did on the day she came to
Speaker 5: visit me in the hospital.
Speaker 3: I just ripped my face off.
Speaker 2: I was like, I gave you the bowl of soup.
Speaker 1: He has some super like oh ship, Carmen.
Speaker 2: I like to get wet like this soup. No.
Speaker 3: I walked in.
Speaker 4: I walked in there and some biton that brings the
Speaker 4: nurse and I was like, she's in pain. I like
Speaker 4: took the percocets from her. I was like thanks.
Speaker 1: I walked out.
Speaker 3: See you later, Karmen, good luck with face, Janie.
Speaker 2: What's something he thinks overrated?
Speaker 3: Percocets and Galaxy Gas? No, just kidding.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say. I don't know if you'll talk about this,
Speaker 4: but Blue Sky is overrated. Okay, the Twitter alternative is overrated.
Speaker 4: And I'm only saying this because I will acknowledge it
Speaker 4: is a lot better than Twitter as a social media
Speaker 4: app because there's you know, you can log on see
Speaker 4: people do all the things Twitter does, and there's just
Speaker 4: like ninety nine percent less little hitler's running around and
Speaker 4: ruining everyone's day. But I see a lot of people
Speaker 4: make kind of like small bean posting about it, like oh.
Speaker 1: It's so nice.
Speaker 3: It's so nice have a little like safe pace like that, And.
Speaker 4: It's making me feel crazy because have we not forgotten that,
Speaker 4: Like social media is just like bad, like like the
Speaker 4: concept of social media is not good. Like every time
Speaker 4: every second you spend on it, you'd be better off suited,
Speaker 4: like reading a book or.
Speaker 3: Like tea, Like, yeah, I don't doing anything else.
Speaker 1: This guy is health food. It's what I'm going to
Speaker 1: be doing instead of spending time with my children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, George ti Kai's posts are fairly wholesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because AOC is here and she yeah, like it's just
Speaker 1: it's I don't want to say it's I am on
Speaker 1: Blue Sky as an alternative to Twitter, but I also
Speaker 1: have the same It was in the running for my
Speaker 1: over age. I know you were going to say that yesterday.
Speaker 2: I remember that.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow. I just there's so much of it as like
Speaker 1: people being and I'm not siding with because I think
Speaker 1: like Nazis are also like coming and being like blue
Speaker 1: Sky sucks.
Speaker 3: It's like an echo chamber.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, just spent forty four billion dollars making
Speaker 1: your own echo chamber.
Speaker 3: So like, but it does just feel like a.
Speaker 1: Lot of the content that gets surfaced is people talking
Speaker 1: about how good blue blue, how good it feels to
Speaker 1: be on Blue Sky. Yeah, like not enough, just like oh,
Speaker 1: this is what I would get on Twitter, except without
Speaker 1: the Nazis, which is what I'm there for.
Speaker 6: I think it's like the difference between like drowning and
Speaker 6: water and drowning in boiling water, where it's like Twitter
Speaker 6: for like, oh I was drowning and boiling water is terrible. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so nice to be drowning in a regular water.
Speaker 5: High also it's doom.
Speaker 1: Yeah. True.
Speaker 4: It makes me like even before Elon Musk bought Twitter,
Speaker 4: you were having like these same people being like oh
Speaker 4: another day on late bird app hell sites and it's
Speaker 4: like you were calling this a hell site before, Like
Speaker 4: now you have another hell site, like you have another
Speaker 4: Like the whole point of Twitter is just to like
Speaker 4: see things that make you kind of mad real quick,
Speaker 4: like to see things that make you like disagree, start conversations.
Speaker 4: And Blue Sky really isn't that much different, Like I mean,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of the fun things. There's a lot
Speaker 4: of people I like that are funny. There's a lot
Speaker 4: of funny jokes, Like social media can be like fun,
Speaker 4: and blue Sky has the legs for it to be
Speaker 4: like fun now that it has like people on it.
Speaker 4: But let's just not like kid ourselves, Like social media
Speaker 4: is not like good and like making like another one
Speaker 4: even though it's less you know, overtly hitilari and it's
Speaker 4: not really like good for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, And I think the other part too is when
Speaker 6: you really think about it, Like I obviously once after
Speaker 6: the election, I'm like, all right, thish's fully cooked. But
Speaker 6: a lot of the thing too, I feel like there
Speaker 6: are a lot of like libs who were like don't
Speaker 6: want to face the Twitter reality of it, and they
Speaker 6: want to go to the blue sky version of whatever
Speaker 6: political reality they want to be in. And because the
Speaker 6: moderation is better, they're interacting less with the posts that
Speaker 6: are like reminding them of like how terrible the campaign
Speaker 6: was and how it failed, and you can sort of
Speaker 6: surround yourself with like other people.
Speaker 1: And like, oh, I mean the Dems did pretty good, man,
Speaker 1: for like you.
Speaker 5: Think about it with the Chinese great idea?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean like yeah, for me,
Speaker 6: I think the one good thing is like it does
Speaker 6: feel like if the people I talk to are who
Speaker 6: they are and it's moderated.
Speaker 1: But again that's a slippery slope because.
Speaker 6: You excel you we look like a couple of years
Speaker 6: down the line, and inevitably it's gonna have the same
Speaker 6: problems Twitter did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, quite it is.
Speaker 4: It is like it does feel better, like I like,
Speaker 4: as opposed to Twitter. It certainly does feel better not
Speaker 4: having like the blue checks, not having all the gimmick posts,
Speaker 4: not having as much AI slop, and not having to
Speaker 4: deal with again just millions of little fucking Hitler's running around,
Speaker 4: But I mean, I don't know, I don't know how
Speaker 4: happy I should really be about that, Like I don't know,
Speaker 4: like and also it's very concerning that like Twitter, like one,
Speaker 4: Like it's very concerning that like Elon Musk, like his
Speaker 4: like whole gambit like that he didn't even want to
Speaker 4: do to begin with that. He tried to wriggle his
Speaker 4: way out of that. It eventually worked. He turned it
Speaker 4: into a right wing media sphere. And I mean, I
Speaker 4: can't I'm not gonna confidently say like that like swung
Speaker 4: the election anyway, but like it worked, you know, like
Speaker 4: like all these other things, like true social parlor, all
Speaker 4: those like conservative things didn't work. But buying Twitter and
Speaker 4: transforming it in the way that he did obviously had
Speaker 4: some kind of like net benefit.
Speaker 3: And that is a bit concerning.
Speaker 4: Like who's to say, like, I don't know, someone else
Speaker 4: doesn't come along and do this to Facebook meta like Instagram,
Speaker 4: Like I don't know, China, please hold onto TikTok, we
Speaker 4: need you, President G. I'm still in line to vote
Speaker 4: for President G.
Speaker 1: In line.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like the tech billionaires might do it themselves.
Speaker 1: They might do it for like Mark Zuckerberg might not need.
Speaker 2: To sell face.
Speaker 3: No exactly, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It seems to just be damnit.
Speaker 6: He wants to actually pretty cool so he can keep
Speaker 6: putting up his SoundCloud wrap tracks with T Page.
Speaker 1: That's all like.
Speaker 6: Thank be, Like, I don't want to do all that
Speaker 6: faschip dude. I just kind of want to wear chains
Speaker 6: and kind of let y'all know. I'm I kind of
Speaker 6: low key wish. I wish I was a black guy in.
Speaker 4: College outside that we were supposed to get the like
Speaker 4: Elon Mark Zuckerberg fight that would have actually been like
Speaker 4: kind of fun and entertaining.
Speaker 3: To shake Paul Mike Tyson fight. It's not too late, though.
Speaker 6: We are just in like open oligarchy now, so I
Speaker 6: think like maybe we're we as the you know HOI
Speaker 6: POLLOI we can we can maybe motivate them to fight
Speaker 6: each other to prove to us who we should follow.
Speaker 1: What happens to feel like a Trump's version of Putin's
Speaker 1: oligarchy would be instead of like god, damn, these people
Speaker 1: have the slipperiest balconies at their uh their windows, keep
Speaker 1: following the he would just have them like fight to
Speaker 1: the death for his entertainment and the Octagon.
Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of on Netflix Audiator glad Jator, Yes, Gladiator.
Speaker 2: So all right, let's take another break. We're going to
Speaker 2: come back and we will hit a couple of news stories.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: And it is that time of the year where news
Speaker 1: stories have to be written in advance as journalists go
Speaker 1: on vacation, and so the dictionaries of the world come
Speaker 1: together and give them a little a nice little layup
Speaker 1: with by naming a bunch of words of the year
Speaker 1: or a new word that we're adding to the dictionary
Speaker 1: this year. And they're hit and miss, you know, like
Speaker 1: Miriam Webster like hits hits sometimes with like one, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's so weird. That wasn't a word this
Speaker 1: time last year, and now it's like in the lexicon.
Speaker 6: I think it was authentic was their Webster's Disha word
Speaker 6: of the year. But we know about on that before,
Speaker 6: but that that one was number two. But riz riz
Speaker 6: is like a word that's I can't stop here. I
Speaker 6: love as young people are just telling me. I've got
Speaker 6: it constantly everywhere I go. But I feel like the
Speaker 6: one thing we can count on is dictionary dot com
Speaker 6: is going to fuck it up. So last year their
Speaker 6: word of the year was hallucinate, as in AI hallucinates,
Speaker 6: which is bullshit, Like that's that's AI is not hallucinating.
Speaker 1: AI is just making ship up because it's long, because
Speaker 1: it's bad technology, and it's they just like chose a
Speaker 1: like buzzword used by AI marketers to try and like
Speaker 1: spice up what their how their AI fucks up to be.
Speaker 6: Like trying to use that in your job when you
Speaker 6: fuck up and see if you don't get fired and
Speaker 6: you're like, oh, sorry, hallucinating like a motherfucker back.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I crashed the folk left I was hallucinating. Why
Speaker 2: how would I need to get into the y?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean every time your auto correct like puts
Speaker 1: the wrong word in, call that a hallucination like that,
Speaker 1: because that's essentially all the AI is doing.
Speaker 2: It's just being.
Speaker 1: Programmed incorrectly and like pointing in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: And making things.
Speaker 1: I mean, really, what it is is AI is designed
Speaker 1: to give you an answer, whether it has the right
Speaker 1: answer or not, and so it will make one up. Anyways,
Speaker 1: this year, dictionary dot Com went with demure as the
Speaker 1: word of the year for twenty before.
Speaker 2: I like the video that used demure.
Speaker 1: I haven't enjoyed a single reference, like a single person
Speaker 1: being like this is very demure, like in reference.
Speaker 2: To that video right now.
Speaker 3: It does.
Speaker 1: It just was immediately like nobody's like really used it
Speaker 1: in a fun way.
Speaker 2: It sucked right away.
Speaker 6: I feel like, yeah, it's it's it's fine, like whatever,
Speaker 6: Like you're just saying like that was a cool moment
Speaker 6: on TikTok. But then it's also a thing where now,
Speaker 6: like you, a lot of us are like, dude, stop
Speaker 6: fucking saying that, like just like, yeah, shit is cooked already,
Speaker 6: Like we're done. That's why I guess hallucinate is better
Speaker 6: and more because it's referencing something that is going to
Speaker 6: affect all of us and even if they're not, you know,
Speaker 6: sort of interrogating that in a more meaningful way.
Speaker 2: It's the word is hallucinate.
Speaker 6: Whereas again, when you look at oh, you said, oh,
Speaker 6: of course, yeah, I understand the trans girlies love and
Speaker 6: demure because I know the creator of that. There was
Speaker 6: a whole thing I remember because the IP got stolen
Speaker 6: and there's all this problem who can use demure and
Speaker 6: all this other shit but the thing with like you
Speaker 6: look at like just other words of the year that
Speaker 6: feel that they encapsulate things they feel.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess who partying me is like,
Speaker 1: why do I even give a fuck? The world's fucking.
Speaker 6: Ending man, and we're talking about TM mirror because in
Speaker 6: shitification was the I don't know, I've never heard of
Speaker 6: this dictionary, probably because I'm American.
Speaker 1: The Macquarie Dictionaries word of the Year.
Speaker 2: Christ was Squary, the guy who wrote Usual Suspects.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, is in shitification. But it's also interesting the
Speaker 6: honorable mention. One of the honorable mentions is raw dogging,
Speaker 6: So maybe we always do need to reference something from
Speaker 6: social media as our word of the year.
Speaker 2: I'll, i'll yeah raw dog.
Speaker 6: But even then I'm even dubious about people that are
Speaker 6: actually raw dogging flights. I know there are some people
Speaker 6: who literally don't need anything, but to so many people
Speaker 6: were posted shit like ya, I just raw dog the
Speaker 6: whole flight, the fucking Berlin fam.
Speaker 2: No you didn't wait, did it? Sorry? Did one of
Speaker 2: the dictionaries leaned its hift of word the year to
Speaker 2: rule dogging or was it like a finalist that was.
Speaker 1: For Acquari's yeah, that was a honorable mentions out and
Speaker 1: gertification word of the year, I mean, right to disconnect
Speaker 1: and raw dogging we're honorable, man. Yeah, basically a word
Speaker 1: for sobriety.
Speaker 2: I like, well, let's be real, raw dogging is having
Speaker 2: six without a condom on, Like that's what that is,
Speaker 2: what there comes from that They are mainlining, you know
Speaker 2: the term the dictionary, the stage square poindixters at the dictionary.
Speaker 2: You know what we fucked too, raw dogging? Will we're
Speaker 2: actually cool guys and we got to parties. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: well look we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 6: We don't still don't know Webster's word of the year,
Speaker 6: and we'll cover year and review of.
Speaker 1: The years and review articles that we do at the
Speaker 1: end of the year. Did you were the were the
Speaker 1: youths of New Zealand using demurror a lot?
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 1: I mean obviously cause social media has created such a
Speaker 1: global culture.
Speaker 2: But yeah, did you hear? Definitely ahead of my I
Speaker 2: produce too Queer podcast basically, and yeah, demure he hit
Speaker 2: a big moment. But it's like culture moves so quickly.
Speaker 2: Now these memes like move through the population. They go
Speaker 2: they hit so big and they're there for about three
Speaker 2: afternoons and then it's on to the next thing, which
Speaker 2: does make it tricky. You know, if you're going to
Speaker 2: start leaning into internet culture to determine your word of
Speaker 2: the year, it's like dog shit has gone way too quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, wait, I think that's what I'm like. It
Speaker 1: just immediately felt like a fifty five year old magazine
Speaker 1: editor was like, all right, you need to get me
Speaker 1: five headlines with demure in it. Like every time I
Speaker 1: saw it used after the initial video was just just
Speaker 1: felt like people trying to fucking fit it in and
Speaker 1: like having no familiarity with the culture and like how
Speaker 1: how it was being used.
Speaker 2: Just felt like, l city, Can I throw something up
Speaker 2: at you guys and you can, like feel free to
Speaker 2: you cut this right, yeah if you want. I just
Speaker 2: like I think the whole the hikoy thing in the
Speaker 2: treaty moment we're heaving in New Zealand at the moment,
Speaker 2: I would feel bad to not at least float the
Speaker 2: balloon to talk about that as a dude from New
Speaker 2: Zealand with the audience that you guys have. And I'm
Speaker 2: not very like super well versed on it, but I
Speaker 2: just think it's such a crazy important thing that's happening
Speaker 2: at the moment, and if you guys wanted a little
Speaker 2: sort of information on the ground about.
Speaker 1: That, yeah, I would love to hear about how it
Speaker 1: feels in New Zealand right now, and yeah, just what's happening.
Speaker 6: But tim, I do want to ask because in America
Speaker 6: we get very narrow sort of depictions of what is
Speaker 6: happening outside of the US, especially if it's intersecting with
Speaker 6: things like indigenous culture. But I know, a few weeks ago,
Speaker 6: or maybe it was last week now, at this point,
Speaker 6: time flies so slow and fast. At the same time,
Speaker 6: I think a lot of people on the internet were like, yo,
Speaker 6: they're doing the hakka like in parliament in New Zealand,
Speaker 6: and most of the discourse sort of ends like that,
Speaker 6: shit's sick me look at it, like looking at like
Speaker 6: a broader historical context than in terms of colonialism and
Speaker 6: stuffing like this is amazing and also a heartbreak, like
Speaker 6: what can you just sort of break that down for
Speaker 6: our audience as well, because I don't want everybody to
Speaker 6: think it was like that's sick. They just did the
Speaker 6: hakka and and everything is okay, because that's for most
Speaker 6: of us tuned in. It sort of came across.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you asked about this. It is such
Speaker 2: an incredible moment to be living through, like as New
Speaker 2: Zealander and Altiro and New Zealand at the moment. So
Speaker 2: a bit of beck story with this. There is a
Speaker 2: guy called David Seymour who was the leader of a
Speaker 2: right wing libertarian party here called Act and he is
Speaker 2: this very weird guy who has just stuck around and
Speaker 2: been funded by very rich people. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you guys have talked about the Atlas network before, which
Speaker 2: is like this super capitalized right wing media and political
Speaker 2: network that exists around the world. You've got a couple,
Speaker 2: you got quite a few, but.
Speaker 1: Basically all libertarians are so well funded, and.
Speaker 2: It's always it's always these like super opaque, invisible like
Speaker 2: trust situations where the funders are hidden from public view,
Speaker 2: and these public interest groups just pop up and they've
Speaker 2: got like incredibly slick advertising and they employ like fifty
Speaker 2: people even though no one votes for them. In New Zealand,
Speaker 2: it's like where the fuck you guys getting your money?
Speaker 2: And a lot of really good journalists have dug around
Speaker 2: and tried to figure that out, and I think the
Speaker 2: short answer is billionaires from America mainly. So this guy,
Speaker 2: David Seymour has proposed essentially to lay down in law
Speaker 2: some different definitions of the Treaty of White Tonguy. The
Speaker 2: Treaty of White Toungy is the legal document that is
Speaker 2: sort of the foundational document of New Zealand that was
Speaker 2: signed in eighteen forty. It is the legal basis for
Speaker 2: white people such as myself to sort of be in
Speaker 2: this country, which had the sovereignty of was looked after
Speaker 2: by the Maldi people, who are the indigenous people here
Speaker 2: in New Zealand. So when Europeans started coming here, British
Speaker 2: people came here, there was a lot of terrible shit
Speaker 2: that they were doing. They're basically like criminals and causing
Speaker 2: a lot of trouble and they kept coming and so
Speaker 2: a lot of the Ewe, which Ewi is the name
Speaker 2: for a tribe like a Maldi tribe. So they kind
Speaker 2: of came together and they were like, hey, you guys
Speaker 2: got to sort your shit out, like we will allow
Speaker 2: you to form a governmental structure in New Zealand because
Speaker 2: you need to sort all of these trouble making British
Speaker 2: people out who were like drunks and thieves and starting
Speaker 2: violence and raping our women and all this sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: So there is two versions of this document. There is
Speaker 2: the English language version, the Treaty of White Tongue, and
Speaker 2: then there is the Maori language version, which is ted.
Speaker 2: The definitions, as you could probably guess in the two
Speaker 2: with the language that are used, are quite different. So
Speaker 2: we've got a problem here. We've got this one document
Speaker 2: which is supposed to mean the same thing, but in
Speaker 2: two languages, which actually means quite different things and guarantees
Speaker 2: different rights and responsibilities to each party. And there has
Speaker 2: been a long, storied, slow productive sort of march of
Speaker 2: progress of people over the many decades since we've had
Speaker 2: like real low points in our national history trying to
Speaker 2: deal with this issue. But there's from about nineteen seventy,
Speaker 2: which was when there was a resurgence of Maori language
Speaker 2: in New Zealand. So Maori have their own language, Terreo,
Speaker 2: and it got beaten out of them at school, like
Speaker 2: they could not use it by dint of violence. There
Speaker 2: was a resurgence of that that started in seventies which
Speaker 2: has started a real revitalization of the culture and the
Speaker 2: whole Maori worldview, which is like being this really beautiful
Speaker 2: and kind of world leading indigenous movement and a real
Speaker 2: beacon of hope to other Indigenous people around the world.
Speaker 2: And like most kiwi's really embrace this, Like average kiwis
Speaker 2: really embrace this thing.
Speaker 3: They love it.
Speaker 2: Of course it's got its detractors and stuff at the
Speaker 2: at the right fringes in particular, but like it's been
Speaker 2: a really beautiful, slow moving sort of journey towards how
Speaker 2: we get this thing together. This politician, David Seymour, libertarian,
Speaker 2: really well funded by overseas donors, has managed to just
Speaker 2: by sticking around and taking slings and arrows over the years.
Speaker 2: He's now the Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand and
Speaker 2: this weird coalition right wing government that we've got, and
Speaker 2: he has proposed a bill which all the other parties said,
Speaker 2: we're not going to like endorse this whatsoever, but he's
Speaker 2: got a first reading of it which would try to
Speaker 2: redefine basically the terms of the treaty. And it has
Speaker 2: been one of the proudest moments of my New Zealand
Speaker 2: life to just see every mild you know, group and
Speaker 2: all of their allies come together and just say not
Speaker 2: on your fucking life, dog. Now we've made way too
Speaker 2: much progress for you to come in here and fuck
Speaker 2: this shit up. So there was a what's called ahkoy,
Speaker 2: which is a peaceful walk that went like what is
Speaker 2: this I think is about eight hundred kilometers from Auckland
Speaker 2: to Wellington and they even started further north. So they
Speaker 2: did this huge march down the country where they gained
Speaker 2: tens of thousands of people along the way to come
Speaker 2: to the to the seed of power at Parliament and
Speaker 2: go nah. And then you've seen like the hacker that
Speaker 2: was in Parliament, TJ Pernada, who's an All Black. He
Speaker 2: did a very specific haucker targeted around this issue during
Speaker 2: an All Blacks game recently, and there's just been it's
Speaker 2: like against France, yes, yeah, yeah, that's right, yeah right,
Speaker 2: and it's oh Italy maybe Italy actually Italy match It's
Speaker 2: I would implore people to kind of, if you've got
Speaker 2: the time and nation, dig into this issue because I
Speaker 2: think New Zealand could act as a real beacon for
Speaker 2: how other countries could try and deal with this. We're
Speaker 2: by no means perfect, obviously, but I think just there
Speaker 2: has been a genuine, concerned effort in my lifetime for
Speaker 2: us to try and figure out how to live together
Speaker 2: and sort of enrich the Maori culture and also like
Speaker 2: help this systemically oppressed people who are represented terribly and
Speaker 2: all the statistics you would expect like health and imprisonment
Speaker 2: and education and stuff, because we fucking beat the shit
Speaker 2: out of them and took their language away and their
Speaker 2: land away, and all of this stuff is guess what
Speaker 2: these implications of that down the line. And my fear
Speaker 2: at the moment is that this story is bubbled up
Speaker 2: on the world stage a bit and it's kind of
Speaker 2: drawn the attention of all these right wing you know,
Speaker 2: sort of manosphere podcast types where they just see the
Speaker 2: surface level and I've already seen like just little glimpses
Speaker 2: of the commentary on that, and I'm like, fuck, that's
Speaker 2: such a it feels to me such a dangerous thing
Speaker 2: that these guys with massive platforms who have zero context
Speaker 2: for what's actually going on on the ground here just
Speaker 2: making these flippant comments. There's one there's an interview in particular,
Speaker 2: which like, I don't know if it'll translate super well
Speaker 2: if you don't have New Zealand context, but a guy
Speaker 2: called Jack Tame, who's one of our journalists for TV
Speaker 2: New Zealand here, interviewed David Seymour last week and kind
Speaker 2: of dismantled his argument pretty well. I thought he was like,
Speaker 2: if you've got an agreement between two parties, isn't it
Speaker 2: completely unjust that one of the parties, which is the government,
Speaker 2: gets to completely redefine the terms of it just edits behest. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's an interesting moment to be living through. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I think David Seymour has underestimated just how much he's
Speaker 2: like kept the hornets nest here, right, which is kind
Speaker 2: of cool to see.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think, I mean, like the one
Speaker 6: article I read that was like an on from nbcnews
Speaker 6: dot Com was just so like devoid of details. It
Speaker 6: was just kind of like they're talking about negotia redefining
Speaker 6: a contract to the certain support without really kind of
Speaker 6: got drilling into the humanity of it and the history
Speaker 6: of it, because that's what's so important. And I think
Speaker 6: for an American audience who obviously has its own terribly
Speaker 6: sordid history with how the government was interacting with Indigenous people.
Speaker 6: It's like a like unfathomable like that. They're like wow,
Speaker 6: because the way this there was no treaty or anything.
Speaker 6: This was just merely like reforced relocation. And now we're saying, well,
Speaker 6: like you know, you want to be your own coruntry,
Speaker 6: then don't ask us for help and here you go,
Speaker 6: and we'll turn our backs on you and then wonder
Speaker 6: why things are falling apart. And yeah, I'm I'm always
Speaker 6: very heartened when I see how just how different our
Speaker 6: cultures are in that respect. And yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 6: there is something to that that I would hope could
Speaker 6: be like something inspirational. But how are these like chud
Speaker 6: dudes trying to sort of hijack the conversation around.
Speaker 1: It's while that the manisphere has sided with like a
Speaker 1: politician who went on Dancing with the Stars and.
Speaker 2: Dare and like not the all black like you know Rugby.
Speaker 1: It's like any credibility, any claim, like where there America
Speaker 1: is like having this crisis in media where they're like,
Speaker 1: how do we attract men like and be like more
Speaker 1: manly to attract and it's like it has nothing to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: They just want to be fucking racist. They're just like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so much of it is just them looking for
Speaker 1: a fucking excuse to be fucking racist pieces of shit
Speaker 1: and like it has nothing to do like it. If,
Speaker 1: if ever there was an opportunity for them to be
Speaker 1: like okay, which is the cooler, more manosphere thing, I
Speaker 1: think it would be siding with the Maori, not a
Speaker 1: hundred billionaire libertarians.
Speaker 2: The thing is that they have the side of this
Speaker 2: is like, isn't it sort of pot of you know,
Speaker 2: taste offster and fuel man culture to be against the
Speaker 2: man like, well, you are archetypes and the hero supposed
Speaker 2: to be the guy who's like going against the system
Speaker 2: and defending you know, the downtrodden.
Speaker 1: That is.
Speaker 2: I don't think there could be a more stark example
Speaker 2: right now in New Zealand. Then the interest that David
Speaker 2: Seymour is representing and the Malden people who are like
Speaker 2: just standing proud and strong and developing their own systems
Speaker 2: to enshrine their culture and their language and their rights
Speaker 2: you know that were given to them not that long
Speaker 2: ago in a legal fucking document, which is the whole
Speaker 2: reason why white people are here in New Zealand, Like,
Speaker 2: surely they are there if you're looking for those kind
Speaker 2: of comic book style superhero archetypes, like you got one
Speaker 2: steering you in the face. But unfortunately, yeah, you would
Speaker 2: have to probably let go of a bit of your
Speaker 2: racism and intense kind of right wing libertarian economic political view,
Speaker 2: which is what a lot of this spoils down to.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the bit that I find exciting
Speaker 2: is what is good for maldi is good for everyone
Speaker 2: like it is it is It is stewarding the environment.
Speaker 2: It's like a deep connection and protection of the environment
Speaker 2: in saying like we need to protect the water that
Speaker 2: we fucking drink and the wildlife that lives in the
Speaker 2: environment that we inhabit, and the whole concept of land ownership,
Speaker 2: like I know this is a common story with indigenous
Speaker 2: people around the world, but it's just like, what are
Speaker 2: you talking about. You don't own land, you fucko. You
Speaker 2: walk around on it and you kind of you can
Speaker 2: like take resources from it to sustain yourself. But reasonalce
Speaker 2: extraction and stuff is just so antithetical to the multi
Speaker 2: worldview by and large. And I always I don't want
Speaker 2: to get too out in front of my skis. I'm
Speaker 2: not Maulori, so I don't want to represent the whole
Speaker 2: multi worldview, but it's a cool thing to watch as
Speaker 2: a New Zealander at the moment, the pushback because it
Speaker 2: has been bigger and broader and louder than expected, and
Speaker 2: it is kind of nice to see around the world,
Speaker 2: even though it's during the attention of these right wing
Speaker 2: podcast dudes. The bulk of things that I'm seeing as well,
Speaker 2: like on read it and there are going this looks
Speaker 2: fucking what's going on in your parliament? Dude? That looks cool?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it is interesting to see how
Speaker 6: I think it makes sense though, the two that like
Speaker 6: in the manisphere, they only respect sort of like violence
Speaker 6: and absolute power, so they would eventually suicide with colonizers
Speaker 6: to be like, well, you know they got colonized, dude,
Speaker 6: it is.
Speaker 2: What it is exactly, dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think that's what's kind of that's that's
Speaker 6: something that I think, I mean, I hope to see
Speaker 6: sort of that sentiment change. But the one thing that
Speaker 6: it feels like is becoming a theme more and more
Speaker 6: is like you get these sort of right wingers really
Speaker 6: get gassed up on their own bullshit and then they're like, oh,
Speaker 6: not everyone thinks like this and it's actually getting a
Speaker 6: massive response. Those are the kinds of things, and like
Speaker 6: we need to keep our eyes on because I think
Speaker 6: at the moment we're in this country, a lot of
Speaker 6: people are not sure what to do about anything, and
Speaker 6: summerre just like do I just retreat to comfort? Do
Speaker 6: I just keep my head down? And I think a
Speaker 6: big thing is going to be about making yourself, like
Speaker 6: making it be known where you stand and what you
Speaker 6: stand for are in a much deeper level. But that
Speaker 6: bridge will be crossed fairly short.
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist.
Speaker 2: Please like and review the show if you like. The
Speaker 2: show means the world.
Speaker 1: De Miles he he needs your validation.
Speaker 2: Folks.
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
Speaker 1: talk to you Monday.
Speaker 2: By
