Please welcome the hilarious, the fashionable, the 55 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: brilliant Dave Chili. This is how we're talking to each 56 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: other the whole episode. We are so far away not 57 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: being the loudest person on a podcast that never happens 58 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: to me, I was taught to project. When I went 59 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: to podcast college, they said, you is your outside voice 60 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: hit the back of the room with extreme prejudice. It 61 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: was hard for me to shake that that directive from 62 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: from elementary school, where it's like user inside six inch voices, 63 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: not six ft voices. But when you become a professional podcaster, 64 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: you've got to use that six ft voice. Okay, you 65 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: gotta get out there. That's six ft two voice, just 66 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: like Miles Gray six two. Yeah, that's yeah, exactly. The 67 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: extreme prejudice reaching the back of the podcast room is 68 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: just all the slurs of podcasters normally. That's right. That's 69 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: how some podcasters hit that back of the room with 70 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: extreme prejudice. It's a hard our syndrome. That's where they 71 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: keep the minorities in the back of the room. So 72 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: all right, well, Dave, we're gonna get to know you 73 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. Paul, we might 74 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: even get to know you a little bit better at 75 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: a moment. First, for you to tell our listeners a 76 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: couple of the things that we're talking about. We're recording 77 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: this on Friday. I don't believe they have released the 78 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: video of the police murder in Memphis. But we do 79 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: have a story about who those police officers where they 80 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: were part of a special task force that was aimed 81 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: at stopping street violence crazily enough. So we're gonna talk 82 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: about these sorts of task forces, on how they get covered, 83 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: how they come about, and why they aren't ever held 84 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: to account and hopefully will be. Now I don't know, 85 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: we'll talk about Trump's return to Meta. They're they're welcoming 86 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Trump's back on Meta and all his campaign money because 87 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: apparently he was like the biggest spender of all time 88 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: on Meta in terms of political ads. Before we get 89 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: to any of that, Dave, we do like to ask 90 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: our guest, and you may know this, what is something 91 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: from your search history that is revealing about who you are? 92 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: I recently googled Martini glasses, specifically Nick and No glasses 93 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: because I broke one in the sink and I'm a 94 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: big Martini drinker, and I found a set of four 95 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: from the Museum of Modern Art in New York's website. 96 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why the moment is selling Martini glasses. 97 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: They have like a whole like home goods store connected 98 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: to that. I kind of like some of the stuff, 99 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: and then I feel bad for liking it. It's kind 100 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: of fucked up that they're horning in on Ikea and 101 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: Targets the whole thing. Like, I don't think Target's gonna 102 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: start showing Mark Chagall paintings, you know what I'm saying. 103 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna start getting sculptures from Damien 104 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: Hurst at Ikea. This is not appropriate. Let's still dare you. 105 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: The art at Ikea is incredible and magnificent, and I 106 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: could stare at it for hours getting lost there. Yeah, yeah, 107 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. I get that, but I'm 108 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: talking about fine art, not just you know, like a 109 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: tableau of a bowl of fruit or something or magic 110 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: Do they have magic guy paintings at Ikea? What is 111 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: the art at Ikea? That? That actually is a really 112 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: good questioner. And it's like I feel like them and 113 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: like the people who put art in hotels have to 114 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: link up, you know what I mean. Like I feel 115 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: like they're on the same way, like a black and 116 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: white photo of a guitar trying everywhere I'm there's like live, 117 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: laugh love stuff too, you know for sure? Right, Although 118 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: that does feel like a little bit outside of IKEA's 119 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: wheelhouse the Live Left Love. That's more of a target 120 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: Walmart something in that font, you know what I mean. Yes, Yeah, 121 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, like would it be okay, I'm 122 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: looking there's a Sander Patelski photograph of a pool, so 123 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 1: like they have like I'm sure they have like somebody 124 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: who has good tastes like buying art for them at Ikea. Yeah, 125 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: we're just doing on this person. You know. Basically the 126 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: MoMA is Ikea without the meat balls. This is what 127 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm here to say. The art at Ikea is just 128 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: as good as the art at the moment, as long 129 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: as you're not a materialist who cares that the it's 130 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: not they're not originals. I am always at the moment 131 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: screaming where are the meat balls? That? Yeah, one could 132 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: say that that Lincoln Berry sauce is artistic. It is 133 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: an expression of humanity's greatest achievement. In my Yeah, I 134 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: do sometimes wonder that, like when I talked about the 135 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Cheesecake Factory menu being like the thing that will be 136 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: remembered from American, like America's contribution to like civilization. They'll 137 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: just be like marveling at our ability to put that 138 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: much food together and like put it, put it out, 139 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: and you know, just get it all together. I don't 140 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: think it's about the menu itself. I think it's about 141 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: attempting to read the menu in a poorly lit room. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, 142 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: it's the experience. It's performance art. It engages the audience. 143 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: It's funny that you say that policy because the people 144 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: that eat a cheesecake factory tend to have very bad 145 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: eyesight because they're they're elderly nature. I don't know if 146 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: only old people go to cheesecake factory, but I think 147 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: it's predominantly people who maybe should have some lights on. 148 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: Maybe we should crank that that dimmer a little bit 149 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: so that we can see what we're shoveling in our 150 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: mouthrank that dimmer wing Aham, Florida. You'll occasionally see people 151 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: with little flashlights on their key chains. Like the elderly 152 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: like have little gadgets that I'm not aware of, but 153 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: we do it with our phones, right, yeah, but they've 154 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: got little like squeezy flashlights. I want to show up 155 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: to the cheesecake factory and a full on fucking like 156 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: helmet with a flashlight on it, like I'm going yeah, 157 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: like I'm a minor. Yeah, like I'm gonna go rescue 158 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: some tide children and also lots of realistics. But I 159 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: do wonder like, will Ikea be remembered. Will that be 160 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: a thing that people look back on because it is 161 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: like the predominant thing from our It will be the 162 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: like when when they're digging around in the rubble of 163 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: the US, mostly what they're going to be finding is 164 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: probably i Kea furniture, right, Yeah, I think they. I 165 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: think that there's, uh, there's a real serious point to 166 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: be made here, guys that the abundance that we all 167 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: enjoy today, all the furniture, all of the food, all 168 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: of the things that we have that we take for 169 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: granted are going to be uh not possible in the 170 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: next one years. So people look back on the the 171 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: just pure greed and avarice of our society and be like, 172 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: how did they? How did they do this? People lived 173 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: like this? They got to they got to get an 174 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: appetizer and the main and then dessert. Unbelievable. They're gonna 175 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: be shocked. So yeah, I think that Ikea and cheesecake 176 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: factory and Sizzler and hometown buffet and Costco. We're all 177 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: going to be considered like these quirky relics of a 178 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: different time. I don't know if it's sad or not, 179 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: but it's kind of way we view like Great Gatsby, 180 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: like the way people are like we're having a Gatsby 181 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: party that like have yeah with like three meatballs to 182 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: be like great grandchildren. Right. Um. I learned this week 183 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: that Ikea is a nonprofit. Did you guys know that? What? No, 184 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: that feels like that feels like a tax dodge exactly. 185 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: I feel like it is and it's but it's technically 186 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: a nonprofit. Yeah, kids, technically a religion like scientology. They 187 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: don't have to pay taxes. I heard Warren Buffett is 188 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: donating his entire fortune to Ikea. He's such a good guy. 189 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: That's so cool. He's my favorite, Like he's my favorite 190 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: spiritual leader. What is something, Dave? The thing is overrated? 191 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: Oh boy, okay, this is definitely not No, those meatballs 192 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: are slamming. As we established, I'm gonna stick to movies 193 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: because this is Oscar season. There's a lot of controversy 194 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: out there about what movies were nominated, what movies weren't nominated. 195 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: So something that is under or overrated is what we're 196 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: starting with, right, Okay, an overrated movie that I saw 197 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: this year. I am gonna go with Black Panther Wakonda forever. 198 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna have to turn into all of 199 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: my my black cards and whatnot. For saying this, but 200 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: I found that movie very boring. It was long, and 201 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: I didn't really connect to any of the characters. That 202 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: really missed Chadwick Boseman. Uh And so I feel like, yeah, 203 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: I think we all did it. I don't know if 204 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm spoiling anything, but at the end, he's got a kid, right, 205 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: He's he's had he had sex once, Black Panther had 206 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: sex ones and he's got a little kid at the end, 207 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: who's gonna, I guess girl up to be Chadwick Boseman 208 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: recreated with artificial intelligence or something. You know, they're gonna 209 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: at some point we're going to get that. And I 210 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: got kind of weepy with that. But like, for the 211 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: most part, I was so bored with the little guy 212 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: with his little lizz little wings on his feet and 213 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: all the water. At the same time, I love to Avatar, 214 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: So there's something wrong with me here. Okay, But have 215 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: you considered that he's incredibly hot, the guy with the 216 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: wings the water. I did consider it. I took it. 217 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: I took a beat. I said, Okay, let's see doy 218 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: like this movie. I'm not sure that guy is really hot. 219 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: Still don't like it. Maybe if you've been in a 220 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: better movie. But I agree, he's a he's a handsome, 221 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: sexy guy. I'm fine with. Okay, here's here's my The 222 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: only thing that I thought was like a little bit strange. 223 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: I feel like it was a little bit predictable in 224 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: who the Black Panther was going to be, and I 225 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: felt like they had that whole m. I t girl 226 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: that character wasn't like fully developed in It felt like 227 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: kind of an on. But I'm such a superhero head. 228 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: I was like, fuck it, let's go. You know what 229 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Like, I just go into those movies empty head, 230 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: I don't care, and I have fun, young, dumb and 231 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: full of calm. Let's go go. I don't know if 232 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: everybody is comfortable with me me sharing this spoiler too, 233 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: But if you haven't seen the movie and you don't 234 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: want to know who Black pant the New Black Panther is, 235 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: you maybe skip this Okay, so here we go five four, 236 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: three to one. Okay, So the thing about Panther is 237 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: that it's really weird that Rachel doulas All ended up 238 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: being the Black Panther. Yeah, I mean, I thought it 239 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: was a perfect choice, you know what I mean to 240 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: the work of Chadwick Boseman, who better than Rachel dolas 241 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: All what one of the most important black people of 242 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: my generation. Certainly, I do hope that somebody did skip 243 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: forward and that joke's only for those of us who 244 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: just don't give a fuck. We is the new Black 245 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: Panther does have an only fans? Yes, is that real? Yeah? Yeah, 246 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: oh yeah, she's going yea. Also, little wingis on the 247 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: feet that you like fly by sort of ice skating 248 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: around through the sky on is a fun little thing 249 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: that I don't know that it's just like Superman that 250 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: they have Superman flying just through like sheer tyranny of 251 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: will and alien superpowers and like, you know, that was 252 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: I feel like that's usually how we see it. So 253 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: a fun new little way for somebody to fly around 254 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: then allows you to say, little Wiggis on the feet 255 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: is is a win I think for for the superhero genre. 256 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: I did not see the movie. I saw that Doctor 257 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: Strange movie by the by the director who I really like, 258 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: whose name Sam Raimi, Sam Ramy. Yeah, I've liked a 259 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: lot of his movies. I saw that Doctor Strange movie, 260 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: and I was like, this is the last? Is the 261 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: last Marvel movie I ever have to see? I think 262 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: this is I'm I think I'm out. I will say 263 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: the new Black Panther was better than Doctors. Yeah. Yeah. 264 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: Black Panther had Rachel dolaj All and Doctor Strange didn't. 265 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: That's the difference. That's the big was If Rachel Dolasall 266 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: isn't anything, I feel like that should be named Doctor Strange. 267 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Right over here with that, Hey, hey, 268 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Dave? Okay, this 269 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: is this is going to be more controversial than saying 270 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: I didn't like Black Panther that much. I saw The 271 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: Whale yesterday. Our good friend Brendan Fraser. It's two hours 272 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: of him going friend of the show. People are amazing 273 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: over and over again, which is now, I just do 274 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: it to annoy my girlfriend. I'm like, hey, Dorothy, people 275 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: are amazing, are amazing. Oh, it's amazing. People have slagged 276 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: this movie off a lot, and I've read a lot 277 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: of reviews that have been very um negative towards the film. 278 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: Understandably so, I think the way that it handles obesity, 279 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know if we should be using the 280 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: word obesity. I feel like some people feel that's a 281 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: trigger or a slur, but people, bigger people. The way 282 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: it handles it is not great. There are there are 283 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: there are scenes where he's like bathing or trying to 284 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: do various things, takes the shirt off, and this music 285 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: plays where it's like the creature from the Black Lagoon 286 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: just popped out of a bathtub or something. It's really 287 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: kind of like horror movie adjacent, and it's also like, um, 288 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: it's deeply, deeply not subtle. This is one of the 289 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: most obvious movies of all time, but I was also 290 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: moved by it. I don't want to get too deep 291 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: into talking about the Whale on this podcast, but I 292 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: did relate to some of the themes of the movie, 293 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: specifically about being apparent about divorce, about guilt in how 294 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: you're raising your kid, and feeling like you failed yourself 295 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: or you failed them, feeling shame, like these are all 296 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: emotions we all kind of go through and I connected 297 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: to the movie. And I think one of the sad 298 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: things about the way we talk about films or art 299 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: in general, how we talk about creativity is often literal. 300 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: This is a deeply literal movie, but it also has 301 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: things to offer if you engage with it in any 302 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: kind of way. But I think people look at any 303 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: any film they go to, especially movies that are prestige films, 304 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: and they say, if it doesn't conform to exactly what 305 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: I think and it doesn't make me feel good every 306 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: single second, I'm going to set it on fire and 307 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: I hate it. And I would rather engage with this 308 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: kind of stuff honestly and with empathy towards the filmmakers. Granted, 309 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: these filmmakers are often white men who are very wealthy 310 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: and don't need my empathy. But if I'm not an 311 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: empathetic person going to a movie, if I'm not thinking 312 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: about what the filmmakers trying to say or hope to say, 313 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: then why am I bothering with it? I might as 314 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: well just go see Black Panther again. You know, I want, 315 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: I want movies to move me in in in a 316 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: real way, And I think there are things to like 317 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: about The Whale, even though it can be very stupid 318 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: and very offensive to certain people. The fact that it's 319 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: about large person and called the whale is not not 320 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: starring someone who is that that suit. I don't know 321 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: if you know this, but it's a metaphor. He's not 322 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: really a whale, He's not really Hold up, dude, I 323 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: thought Free Willy was going to be in this. Yeah, 324 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: it does turn out people are amazing. So yeah, now 325 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: that's gonna be stuck in my head. I'm gonna make 326 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: that my alarm. Uh. I will say that I was 327 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: thinking about this with the discussion of everything everywhere all 328 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: at once. I love that movie. I thought it was 329 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: amazed saying that, I do think like there was like 330 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: a lot of criticism from like white people who couldn't relate, 331 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: and part of what I was thinking about it today 332 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: was like, I mean, obviously there are aspects of movies 333 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: that you like in aspects you don't like. And I 334 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: don't know why exactly what you said we have to 335 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: have everything be perfect because people aren't perfect. It aren't 336 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: isn't perfect, but there can be like things that make 337 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: you feel something different and also like it. Not everything 338 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: has to be for you, Like, if something is harmful, 339 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: I understand criticizing it and the whale in those ways 340 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: are is very harmful. But if something isn't harmful and 341 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: it's you just thought it was like corny or cringe 342 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: or whatever. People were tweeting about everything everywhere on all 343 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: it was like, just leave it. Let people be cringe. 344 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: That's not harmful, you know what I mean. It's people 345 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: people are critic because I think it's because it got 346 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: lauded so wet much. It's finally being accepted, like Michelle 347 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: Yell being the first. Yeah, so there's a backlash, and 348 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: it tends to be like a racist backlash, you know, 349 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: like it's from white people. They're like, I can't relate. 350 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like me. Um, so I think or 351 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: and then they kind of try to come up with 352 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: other reasons other than raise. But yeah, so I think 353 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: there's that now. So there's like discourse about it, and 354 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: I'm like whatever, I enjoyed it and I had fun 355 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: and I moved on, you know, at the at the 356 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: end of the day, I think it's true that people 357 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 1: aren't amazing. Some people aren't amazing. I think, yeah, there 358 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: there is so much art being created and so much 359 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: to consume that I think people are looking for an 360 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: excuse to hate something or not like something. And then 361 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: you pair that dynamic of like from the consumer end 362 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: with the like critical or just like word of mouth 363 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: critical element of every time you say you like something, 364 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: it's a risk. Like it's it's very easy to just 365 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: be like one of end people to be like, yeah, 366 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't I don't really like that because blah blah blah. 367 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: You know, so like staking your claim to something I 368 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: actually don't agree with that. I don't think it is 369 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: like a risk. I'm not more likely to judge someone 370 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: harshly for a recommendation than I am for them saying 371 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: that they hated something that I loved. But I do 372 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: feel like people are just like guarded and they're like 373 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to let I don't want to. I 374 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: don't want to be vulnerable and say I liked this thing. 375 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: You know. I also think like that is very true 376 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: in terms of like social currency. But I also think 377 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: like a lot of takes are actually like physically financially monetized, 378 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So if you're making controversial 379 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: statements or if you you know, just like something like 380 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: you can legit or in money off of that through 381 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: social media, you know, so it's easy to like people 382 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: want to have a take and jump in on the 383 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: discourse and make money off of it, you know. Yeah, yeah, 384 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: I'd be way more successful if I said absolutely ridiculous 385 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: things all the time. And uh, when I wake up 386 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: in the morning, I have a choice to make every day, 387 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: which is do I want to be a complete soulless 388 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: shill for horrible things or do I want to just 389 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: be a normal guy. And I choose normal guy most 390 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: of the time. I'm this close to choosing shill. Okay, 391 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: that's what capitalism does to you. It It nails you 392 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: against the wall, makes you see it seemed like the adult, 393 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: responsible thing to do. I've said it before, I'll say 394 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: it again. Okay I am. I am a queer brown woman, 395 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: all right. I could sell out so easily to the right, 396 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: you know, I would be so good. There would be 397 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: shock waves Canada. Owens is so powerful in conservative media 398 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 1: because she she stands out and she can be that 399 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: person that someone drags in and says, look, see she 400 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: doesn't mind police violence against unarmed citizens. And she's black. Yeah, 401 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: it's just like black police officers. They cover up all 402 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: the things that nobody wants you to see. That's right, 403 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be 404 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and as we're recording this, 405 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: we still haven't see I don't think they've released the 406 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: video of the five police officers beating Tyree Nichols to death, 407 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: but just generally, like I don't know, it feels like 408 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: we're at a moment that everyone is girding themselves for 409 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: that and we're getting some reporting on the context. By 410 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: the time you hear this, the video has probably been released. 411 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: But one of the articles I just wanted to highlight 412 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: is about the unit that they were a part of, 413 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: and we see that we see this a lot like 414 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: we saw it with the Gun Traced Task Force in Baltimore. 415 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: These cops were a part of a unit of forty 416 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: officers who were designed to stop violence. And the acronym 417 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: they gave themselves as a unit for such a benign 418 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: peacekeeping mission was Scorpion Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace 419 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: in Our Neighborhoods Unit. Because what sends a message that 420 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: you are looking to gain the trust of the community 421 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: better than like the antagonist from that Esop's fable, the 422 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: about of you know someone who yeah, it's a Mortal 423 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: Kombat character. It's the thing that like the person in 424 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: the substa will trust for one second and they're like, 425 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: what what the fund did you expect? And I don't 426 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: know it. Just we've gotten a lot of really hard 427 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: to refute evidence that maybe the police are a bad 428 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: idea over the past year. We're going to keep getting it. 429 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: And just the way that the mainstream media metabolizes this 430 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: evidence is the problem, like it or it's a huge 431 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: part of the problem, Like they don't stop and look 432 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: at it often enough. The cops in the subway shooting, 433 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: like running away from danger and telling people close by 434 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: to call nine one one was just echoed by a 435 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: video where someone fell onto the subway tracks and a 436 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: bunch of citizens jumped down to lift them up to 437 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: safety while a cop stood on the side and like 438 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: waved his flashlight at any trains that might have been coming, 439 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: because you know, someone had to do that, but he 440 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: he picked the cush job in that scenario. He was 441 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: doing that so casually too. He was like taking breaks 442 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: and stuff, and like that was like, what is happening, 443 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: but it's as long as the mainstream media responds to 444 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: any So this Scorpion Task Force was a response to 445 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: murder rates in Memphis going up after the pandem and 446 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: the way that that you know, rise in crime was 447 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: covered by the mainstream media was a fucking crime in 448 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: and of itself when when you actually go back and 449 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: look like people actually did the work to see what 450 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: was happening, and they found that a lot of these programs, 451 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: these social programs and and public schools were frozen for 452 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: a long period of time, and those are things that 453 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: are there to keep people doing things as a community 454 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: and you know, interacting and doing productive things. And when 455 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: those things all stopped, there was a rise in the 456 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: murder rate. And the mainstream ideas analysis of the rise 457 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: of the murder rate was that the police feelings were 458 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: hurt and that's why there was a rise of the 459 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: murder rate. Like that is ultimately what their version came 460 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: down to, because like any that, they also said that 461 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: it was because they got defunded, which didn't happen, Like 462 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: any defunding was ultimately minimal. So I don't know, I 463 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: just as we're experiencing the coming news cycle, like I 464 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: just want to be conscious of the fact that we 465 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: this is going to start a new conversation about defunding 466 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: the police, and it's going to be treated as or 467 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: what what else? What else could we possibly do? You know, 468 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: we this is the only thing that we have is 469 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: creating these like task forces that are like the troop 470 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: surges in Iraq, like where they just like send people 471 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: in to be like extra violent and send extra people 472 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: in and like fund extra fund the police. And it's like, 473 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: I just want everybody to keep in mind, like that 474 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: is not what the data says, that's not what any 475 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: of the evidence suggests works. And we have like so 476 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: we're just being fucking bombarded with evidence constantly that that's 477 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: the case, like policing, doubling down on policing doesn't fucking work. 478 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: And that's like it's disgusting, it's really sickening that it 479 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: feels like George Floyd died. We went through everything that 480 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: summer trying to like defund the police, and now they've 481 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: just taken this narrative and said that we have when 482 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: we haven't, and that that's why, you know, it's like 483 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of like the right being like, oh, this 484 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: is what the world has come to, and you're like, yeah, 485 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: this is what capitalism has made the world. You can't 486 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: just say it's socialism, you know, you can't just say 487 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: that it's the opposite of what it is, because like 488 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: the numbers do speak to the fact that funding police 489 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: actually causes more violence. It raises like crime rates when 490 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: the NYPD was on strike, prime rates fell in other 491 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: in other cities, and like you know, in Massachusetts, I 492 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: think there was like a police station that was like 493 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: disbanded and crime rates fell. Like it all points to 494 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: defunding the police and funding social services as actually stopping 495 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: like violence. If you want to stop like people from dying, 496 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: you cannot fund a cops city in Atlanta. You cannot 497 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: fund all of these so called like training organizations or 498 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: military militarized the police and have no repercussions. Because the 499 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: reason they're acting like this, the reason that they're able to, 500 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, kill black people, unarmed people on the street 501 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: or even in their homes, like with that disabled man 502 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: that happened like recently, he came out with his hands 503 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: up and they shot him as soon as he opened 504 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: the door. The reason that they're acting like this is 505 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: because they have those, and I have tanks, and they 506 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: have gangs as just in you know from Knock l 507 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: A about the l A p D. You know, like 508 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: they have the protection of a system and if you 509 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: keep funneling money into it, they're never gonna stop. This 510 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: is this is domestic terrorism, That's what this is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 511 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: And I think it's it's really important to talk about 512 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: all the times when police officers don't do what they're 513 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: supposed to do. Right, think the subway guy. You know, 514 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: where's the bravery, where is the where were the brave 515 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: police officers in Uvaldi? They wouldn't is a great example. Yeah, 516 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: that I should have included. I mean, I mean they 517 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: there was a Supreme Court case that justified that they 518 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: do not have to prevent crime or like act when 519 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: crime is happening. That's why that Parkland officer was allowed 520 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: to run away with like no repercussions. They that is 521 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: not their job. They are protected by law to not 522 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: do the job that we are using our tax dollars 523 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: to pay them to do. Yeah, it's it comes down 524 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: to power dynamics, right when you have the power, when 525 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: you have the upper hand and you can use that power. 526 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: Two commit crimes, you're going to and when you don't 527 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: have power, when you are required to be fully selfless, 528 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: to be brave, to be a protector, you're not going 529 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: to do it. Because you got into the police force 530 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: not to be brave. You got into the police force 531 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: to have power. And we have continued in media entertainment 532 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: two propagate the narrative that police officers are awesome and 533 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: isn't it cool to be a cop? You know, you 534 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: turn on chips in the seventies and it's like, wow, 535 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: they get to wear sunglasses and red around on a motorcycle. 536 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: Isn't that neat? Or like started to turn off Brooklyn. Yeah, 537 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: and it's like this is the greatest job. Yeah, but 538 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: we don't see the heroism. That is the hallmark of 539 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: selflessness is to give yourself for someone that you don't know, 540 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: a stranger. That's what it should be about, is protecting people. 541 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: But it is not about that. It is a It 542 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: is a social club for people with no empathy. Yeah. 543 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: I think another telling thing is like the more you 544 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: dig into all of these points that we make, the 545 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: more in city a sick gets like the number of 546 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: you know, like cops get to the reason that there's 547 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: so many cops shows is because of that um deal 548 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: that they have where they you know, people can use 549 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: cop precincts and things to like or you know, cop 550 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: I want to say accessories, alts, but like cars, things 551 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: like that in order to film and they can do 552 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: it for free. It's like a deal with media. And 553 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: in the same way that mainstream media in terms of 554 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: reporting is on the cops side. They just take these 555 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: police reports and run with them, despite knowing that they 556 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: have over and over again whenever there's video, you know, 557 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: and sometimes when there is video, they still lie about it, 558 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: you know. So it's like it's insane that they just 559 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: get this freebie and this benefit of the doubt. And 560 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: I will say that the people who do exhibit that 561 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: selflessness and that visceral ability to sacrifice themselves and their 562 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: lives to protect people are the ones fighting against cops. 563 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: Like Roywood Jr. Just on the Daily Show, did an 564 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: invest or, you know, a report about Cops City and 565 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: the people who are organizing against Cops City and they're 566 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: literally living in the forest, and you know, they have 567 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: people have Tortunita, you know, was killed by an environmental activist, 568 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: was killed by cops during the protests and or you know, 569 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: trying to protect and prevent Cops City from being built 570 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and they're they're like literally living. All of 571 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: those people are like literally living the forest. They've disguised 572 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: their voices and their faces. They at any point to 573 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: become victims to this iss them because we know to 574 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: cops target people who protest against them, and that those 575 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: people are like actually putting their lives on the line 576 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: because they don't have you know, tanks and guns and everything, 577 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: and they're literally going up in a fight against those 578 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: people who do in order to protect the environment, protect 579 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: the community, make sure a black and brown community isn't 580 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: invaded by this insane training center, or that you know, 581 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: cops aren't further militarized. It's it's wild how how the 582 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: media paints those people crazy for actually standing up and 583 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: doing something. After years you have these amazing underdog stories 584 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: like built in to the reality, to the paradignamics of 585 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: the civilization you're making media for, and you like still 586 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: bend over backwards to like make stories that like center 587 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: the police as the protagonist. It's it's fucked and just 588 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: like it definitely doesn't make narrow of sense. It doesn't 589 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: make for like good storytelling. But there's just a lot 590 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: of inertia there. There's a lot of like institutional you know, inertia. 591 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: And yeah, you get you get the cool you get 592 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: to borrow police cars and drive around, run the siren 593 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: on your movie or whatever. Accessories. I like it. They 594 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: love accessories, the police. They're special with their little costumes. 595 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be back 596 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: to talk about some bullshit. And we're back, and I 597 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if this is a huge development, 598 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: but it feels like it could be, like the more 599 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: the more I think about it. So Meta is welcoming 600 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: Trump back onto, like they're going to allow him back 601 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 1: on their platform because he asked, like his campaign petition, 602 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,479 Speaker 1: Meta to unblock his accounts and argued that the ban 603 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: on him that happened on jan like after the January 604 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: six attacks has they said, dramatically distorted and inhibited the 605 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: public discourse, Which is wild because that's like a perfect 606 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: description of what his presence on social media did for 607 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: like all the years that he was the president essentially, 608 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: and Meta just agreed, and we're like, oh, they asked, 609 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: so we kind of got to let him back on. 610 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: But they also announced that they have new guard rails 611 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: in place, and according to Meta's vice president of global 612 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: global Affairs, if Trump keeps posting violating content, it will 613 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: be removed and he will be suspended again. He's literally 614 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: doing that but on truth social right, Yeah, he just 615 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: doesn't like that's the thing people are like, yo, we 616 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: don't have to imagine what he's going to post. He 617 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: just like created a like shadow land version of like 618 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: social media, where he has continued to do the exact 619 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: same thing, except now he is a full believer in 620 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: the death cult that he is like the godhead of 621 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: It's it's like really scary. That's like a big like 622 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: things have not gotten better since he was banned. He 623 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: like the he started doing those speeches with like the 624 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: big orchestral like swelling music that like comes from the Q. 625 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: And on soundtracks like he's like he's like Q. And 626 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: on mix tapes that they were selling that are like 627 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 1: very popular SoundCloud no like literally CDs that you can 628 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 1: buy where they just like stole music from different places. 629 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: But he like at one point, like this music starts 630 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: swelling up, like as he was delivering a speech and 631 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: it was like Q and on music, and his audience 632 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: was like giving the Q salute. And they're like, yeah, well, 633 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, well, well we'll put a content warning if 634 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: he's you know, like they're basically saying, and they also 635 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: said for borderline posts and for rule breaking content that 636 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: it deems newsworthy newsworthy, the posts will stay up, but 637 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: Meta may also remove the reshare button for those posts 638 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 1: or stop the post from being recommended. So he's literally 639 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: allowed to violate their own content rules if it's newsworthy, 640 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 1: which it is by definition because he is the former 641 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: president who leads a death cult that like a terrifying 642 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 1: percentage of the country believes it. But it's also so funny. 643 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: They're like, if he does something newsworthy on our platform, 644 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: which we are allowing him to do by letting him 645 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: back on our platform, will allow it to stay up, Like, bro, 646 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: just don't make him make news, Like what are you doing? 647 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: It is both less like guard rail than a sneeze 648 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 1: guard and also a little bit like trying to put 649 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: guardrails on the Titanic as it's thinking like it's just 650 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: so yeah, I also like I want to have a 651 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: life where I have such influence that, like a billion 652 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: dollar companies have to make special rules for me. You know, 653 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: they have to let me in and make special rules 654 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: because that's how hard I touched them. You know. It's 655 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: a perfect storm of disaster because Trump is obviously flailing 656 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: with this campaign so far. It's bizarre that he announced 657 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: so quickly, but I imagine it was for the purposes 658 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: of fundraising, because that's the number one drift of Donald 659 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: Trump's worlds, which is fundraising. And also meta Facebook is 660 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: uh not a particularly relevant place for conversation anymore. That's 661 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: when it feels like a death rattle for that platform. 662 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: And so when they look at the numbers and they say, oh, 663 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're hemorrhaging money. Nobody cares about the metaverse. 664 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: This is a complete waste of time, you know, places 665 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: like TikTok or eating our lunch. What do we do 666 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: but bring back Donald Trump because that ups engagement. He's 667 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna buy ads across the platform to reach the audience 668 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: that he still has, which is primarily on places like Facebook. 669 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: It worries me, like anything that Donald Trump does worries me, 670 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: obviously because we lived through his presidency. But at the 671 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: same time, it does feel like one of these like 672 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: kind of last ditch efforts on both sides to rescue 673 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: the relevancy of things that were relevant a decade ago. Right, 674 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: It's like the end of the Notebook where they hold 675 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: hands and die together. But it's like the dark version 676 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: of the true loves of like Insurrection and Creator. You know, Yeah, 677 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: it's it's really sad to watch on both sides, Aids. 678 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: And I at least have some kind of hope that 679 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: because Facebook is already so desperately lame, that it will 680 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: continue to wither away because of this decision. I yeah, 681 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: I can totally see the internal argument and like how 682 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: how was framed. I also have for a while now 683 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: had my eye on Mark Zuckerberg as like the next 684 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: big domino to fall in the like formerly center like 685 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: mainstream media darlings to who like basically embrace open fascism 686 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: because he's got all the ingredient, Like he behaves like 687 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: a fascist while still saying the right things for the 688 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: most part, so that that's like one symptom that he's 689 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: going to ultimately just come out of fascist. He's been 690 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: like vilified by the sort of neoliberal mainstream that used 691 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: to like think he was pretty cool. So he probably 692 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: like feels very hurt by that because he was like 693 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: getting something from that before and then it went away. 694 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: And he's also a billionaire and is like, you know, 695 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: it's either realized that like having that much money is 696 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: basically a crime at this point because of like all 697 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: the problems that are facing the world, or you become 698 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: a fascist and like embrace one of the many philosophies 699 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 1: that are like available to you that allow you to 700 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, just be like and it turns out I 701 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 1: am the hero of this narrative. I don't I don't know. 702 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg is pretty pathetic. Oh he's he's too much 703 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 1: of a weasel. I just think he's too much of 704 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: a weasel to ever really be popular in those circles. 705 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 1: I don't think he has the charisma or the shamelessness 706 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: of the truly successful fascists out there. Elon Musk is 707 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: a perfect example of a guy who's just like I'm 708 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: desperate for attention. I don't think Mark Zuckerberg wants attention. 709 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 1: I think he eats some sort of white gruel paste 710 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: every morning and powers up and then powers down before 711 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: bed and doesn't really have any sort of understanding of 712 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 1: human nature or what you know people think about him. 713 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I just think he's like an alien, 714 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: and so I think he does. Okay, I think he 715 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 1: does want attention. Otherwise, why would he leak that sweet 716 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: martial arts video that made us all so thirsty? You 717 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: know what I mean. I feel like he's not doing 718 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: it the way Elon Musk is. Elon Musk is like, 719 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: please love me under like everyone every right wing person's tweets, 720 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: And actually I think I'm pretty funny. So yeah, interesting, interesting, 721 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: But I look at He's never once uttered that he 722 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 1: thinks people are pathetic. But I think like Zuckerberg is 723 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: not looking to come out at a Dave Chappelle's show. 724 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: I think Zuckerberg is like, I'll just be like, you know, 725 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: like the nerdy, nice guy that like people overlook but 726 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: like I'm like getting totally ripped. I'm working on my 727 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: tan on this, like but like what is it? What 728 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: did he do? Like windsurfing thing? You know, He's just 729 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna be like the cool billionaire you know 730 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: that doesn't go through a divorce. You know, I think 731 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: he still wants to be liked but but not in 732 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: the same way that Elon Musk. Not in the same way. Now, yeah, 733 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,240 Speaker 1: he's going to be posting feet on the racial chats 734 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: and that's what he's gonna do. Yeah. I feel like 735 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: the Winkl Lost Twins would have been more overt with it, 736 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, more of that charisma you're like, but yeah, yeah, 737 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: if the Winkl Lost Twins had won, that we would 738 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,800 Speaker 1: all be like in prison camps now. Yeah. So anyways, 739 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: another big indicator, like as Dave you you mentioned, like 740 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,720 Speaker 1: they Trump and his campaign entities have spent a hundred 741 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: and fifty seven million dollars on meta since like that 742 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: was between ten and like when he was banned. So 743 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,399 Speaker 1: he he's the number one political ad buyer and there's 744 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: a reason for that. Those ads are super fucking targeted 745 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: and really good at reaching people, and you know, you 746 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: can spread Like I think one of the ads that 747 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: got banned was like him using Nazi like imagery in 748 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: his ads and they're like, whoa, that's that's a bridge 749 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: too far, and he's like, well, I've been I've used 750 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 1: it across a hundred ads, Like what is what is that? 751 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 1: Like that email interaction, like you know when you like 752 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 1: violate a Twitter it's like terms of service or whatever. 753 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 1: And they're like, hey, Paula be we're worried about your 754 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: mental health.

Like does he get an email 757 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: that's like, hey, it violates community guidelines that you said 758 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: you love Nazis And he's like, I'm gonna appeal this. 759 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: I did say that, and it is on you out, 760 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 1: but I am going to appeal this, you know, Like 761 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: how does that work? Yeah? Since what is love not 762 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: part of the terms of service? Oh, that's against the 763 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: term disservice to love something organized community? You know, we 764 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 1: just have a little group. We get together and we 765 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: light a pyre and uh, we march around for a 766 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,399 Speaker 1: little bit. What's the problem. And in the case of 767 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, using Nazi imagery but doing doing it well 768 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: paying Facebook, the thing that needs to happen is that 769 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: like a bunch of people have to call it out 770 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: in the media two for them too then be like, oh, 771 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 1: we really hate to do this. And then there's probably 772 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: some like really like glad handy emails back and forth 773 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: being like oh guys, uh, this is probably a mistake 774 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 1: and totally you know, well intentioned, but you've been using 775 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:59,800 Speaker 1: Nazi symbolism in your ads constantly pause like you have 776 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,959 Speaker 1: finish in your teeth, But Nazi symbolism in your ad 777 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: will give days to get back to us on this one. 778 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 1: It really is like like up to the advertisers to 779 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: pull out you know, like and those people aren't gonna 780 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: do it unless there's outrage with you know, like this citizens. 781 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: You know, like unless there's outrage with the people. So 782 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: it's it takes like a it's a whole like tiered 783 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 1: thing of like, Okay, we have to like threaten the advertisers, 784 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: to threaten these social media giants to get you know, 785 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: these fucking hate speech off off in front of our screens. Well, 786 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: this is the problem that most people will never see 787 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: that stuff. It's exact targeted to the people that it 788 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 1: will work most effectively on. Yes, the algorithm knows you're 789 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: really going to like this imagery from Triumph of the Will, 790 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: so we're going to feed it to you so I 791 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: will never see it. I'm not on Facebook, so I'm 792 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: not even interacting with people who have seen it, which 793 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: means that there is a whole their ecosystem, there's a 794 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: whole other world where this stuff is being pumped into 795 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: your brain. And that's the thing that I find the 796 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: most insidious about Facebook. If Mark Zuckerberg tomorrow said, uh 797 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: that he thinks that Jewish people but he is Jewish, 798 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: if Jewish people were terrible and need need to be 799 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: put into camps, that might be better for the world, 800 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,800 Speaker 1: because then we would be able to say this is bad. 801 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 1: One of the great things about Elon Musk is that 802 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 1: he is so terrible at his job, which is the 803 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 1: figurehead of a company, that we can all point to 804 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,399 Speaker 1: the stupid stuff that he says. We can all look 805 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 1: at how right wing and and hateful he really is 806 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,880 Speaker 1: deep down. You can't do that with Mark Zuckerberg. You 807 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 1: can't do that with Facebook or Meta or whatever the 808 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,240 Speaker 1: company is called now because it is it treats itself 809 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: as completely politically neutral. It says, we don't believe in 810 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: any of the things that are on our platform. We 811 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: take no responsibility for what is on our platform. We 812 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 1: have a responsibility to the shareholders. We have a responsibility 813 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 1: to make money, and so that allows them to whitewash 814 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: everything and you can seem banal, it can seem non threatening. 815 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: It can be oh, we're not called Facebook anymore now 816 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,240 Speaker 1: we're called Meta and we have this metaverse. And actually 817 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 1: this company is really exciting, and it's about community. It's 818 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 1: not about community. It's about propaganda foisted onto people, paid propaganda, 819 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 1: which is the worst thing because the people with the 820 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 1: most money have the most access to the megaphone. That's 821 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,680 Speaker 1: scary to me. Scarier than him being a right wing guy, 822 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: is him being just completely focused on money. That is true, 823 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 1: And but I think like one of the things, well 824 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,479 Speaker 1: a few different things, like the metrics don't even prove 825 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 1: that their neutral beyond like the theory of like, oh 826 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: saying all of this hate speech versus we want to 827 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: feed and house and educate people. That's it helps not neutral, 828 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like if you look at 829 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: the two sides of it. But in addition to that, 830 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: the metrics show that like you know, the like right 831 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: wing posts are being shown to more people and like 832 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: a more targeted a way, and like people on the 833 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: left are like don't have their posts like promoted as 834 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,840 Speaker 1: as well, I guess, or even like suppressed sometimes I 835 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 1: think they had like a news story on that, like 836 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 1: within the last year. But oh yeah, I mean reality 837 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,320 Speaker 1: is different from perception. Yeah, reality is what you're talking about. 838 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 1: The perception is or Facebook, it's a place photos of 839 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 1: your kitty. And so as long as the perception remains neutral, 840 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,800 Speaker 1: people will not be upset the way that they should 841 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: be the way that they're upset about Twitter, because it 842 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: is out in the open and it says this is 843 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be. So I want them to 844 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: be more about out front, up front about it. I 845 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: want them to be saying these things and being clear 846 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: about what this platform is for. I mean, it's it's 847 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: the same back to the cops, right, It's all about 848 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:05,760 Speaker 1: branding and perception, all right. Well, Dave, truly a pleasure 849 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,759 Speaker 1: having you on the show. Where can people find you? 850 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 1: Follow you? All that good stuff? Oh boy? Well, I'm 851 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 1: still on Twitter. I hate to say it, but I'm 852 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: still there because I don't know what else to do 853 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 1: with my life. I'm at Dave Underscore Shilling for the 854 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: time being. You can follow me on Instagram at d 855 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 1: W Shilling if you want to see pictures of my son, 856 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 1: which is uh. I guess I should probably start deleting those. 857 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't want people following him around And uh I, 858 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 1: I you know, I'm still writing for the only time, 859 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: So if you have style, interests, needs, curiosity, please read 860 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 1: me in the only times. There you go. And is 861 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 1: there a tweet or some other work of media social 862 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 1: media that you've been enjoying. Oh boy, I'll go back 863 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,960 Speaker 1: to the Whale. And anytime somebody posts a photo of 864 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,760 Speaker 1: him on the zoom in the movie teaching his class, 865 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 1: a kind of a kind of chuckle, not because he 866 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: is playing a larger person, but because of how ridiculous 867 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,359 Speaker 1: the makeup is and the faces that he makes in 868 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,280 Speaker 1: this film. It feels like Dick Tracy sometimes. So anytime 869 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 1: there's a meme with Brendan Fraser in The Whale in it, 870 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: I will laugh. I don't have one in particular. I 871 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: just love the fact that they did this movie, that 872 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,360 Speaker 1: the makeup is nominated for an oscar and he looks 873 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: like a cartoon man. Yeah, that's Aaron off, that is. Yes, 874 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: it's sort of kind of a sibling to the Fountain 875 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: in a way. I think if you like The Fountain, 876 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 1: you might like this movie way less science fiction in 877 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: The Whale. Sadly, there's no spaceships or time travel in 878 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 1: this one. But yeah, he's a I like a lot 879 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: of his movies that did. The Wrestler is probably his 880 00:53:55,560 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: best film. But he is not a subtle guy. Is 881 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: not a subtle movie. The subtlety of re Quiem for 882 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,919 Speaker 1: a Dream. Yeah, he just gets a big double into 883 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 1: dildo and wax you over the head of as he says, anyway, 884 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: I just want to I just want to depart by 885 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: saying one more time, people are amazing play where can 886 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:26,240 Speaker 1: people find you? Follow you? And is there a work 887 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: of media that you've been enjoying, um, Paula Deganalen everywhere 888 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: And I've been watching Okay, so I do have a tweet, 889 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 1: But I have been watching a lot of like nineties 890 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,359 Speaker 1: movies like and a lot of like you know, like 891 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 1: Julia Roberts he rant.

I mean, sure, it's hella homophobic and transphobic, 895 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: but yeah, that's something that I had to turn my 896 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 1: at off for whenever watching anything from comedians of that time, 897 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,240 Speaker 1: but for those comedians of that time. But I enjoyed 898 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the movie if I, you know, blacked 899 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,879 Speaker 1: out that part.
