00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: not that that'd be great, but no, no, no, no,

154
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: it's great. So she's um yeah, and she rose to

155
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: prominence and was like treated as a respectable woman and

156
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: Sistero had a problem with it and told her to

157
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: shut her hormouth, and Mark Anthony was like, you know,

158
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: I've done what I can and she disappeared. Her mystery

159
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: so her story, so Cistero was like, we don't want

160
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: somebody with some we don't need sex positivity in her. Yeah, absolutely,

161
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: you can't be. You can't be forcing my wife to

162
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: meet this woman at parties and stuff. You gotta keep

163
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: her where the sluts live, you know, it was the rules?

164
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: What was the wait? So and back in those times,

165
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: was it you know, what was sort of the hierarchy,

166
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: like was it is it a completely impossible feat for

167
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: her to get to that place? Or yeah? That that's interesting.

168
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: You know. So Rome is like way more patriarchal and

169
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: like misogynistic than ancient Greece. Right, So in ancient Greece,

170
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: you know, priestess prostitutes or like goddesses that sir, or

171
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, like priestesses that serve the goddess through sacred

172
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: sex and something that we would sort of recognize as

173
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: like high end you know, like high art performance sex

174
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: work that is still happening today, right, So we those

175
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: people had social power and there were like temples and

176
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: systems and like places carved out. So like Phrynes and

177
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: ancient Greek courtisan who was tried for blasphemy because she

178
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: got like up a day or whatever, and she bared

179
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: her breasts to the jury and basically said like my

180
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: you know, my tits are divine, and fight me if

181
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: you disagree, and she won, right and right, yeah, yeah,

182
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: absolutely and like yeah, no, I mean they're that that's

183
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: that's God, you know what I mean. And so that's

184
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: ancient Greece. Cornison's in ancient Rome had no such power.

185
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: There was a lot more restriction on their freedom of movement,

186
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: and cifically, they're sort of like a scent into social circles.

187
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: So it was actually illegal for it. Had margan Anthony

188
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: married this woman, he would have, by default and by

189
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Roman law, lost his rank. Right, but like also he

190
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: would have lost his rank. And like ancient Roman politicians

191
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: or whatever, and folks in the military would lose their

192
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: rank if they ever performed on a stage. So like

193
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: that association of like actress and sex work or like

194
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: performer and you know, salaciousness or whatever goes way back

195
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: and ancient Roman minds, like you know, they're not they're

196
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: not the mimes of today. They're not the silent kind.

197
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: It's actually a predecessor to comedy more than comedy in

198
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: the like the theater tradition, which is like way stricter

199
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: and scripted and had a lot more rules. This was

200
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: just like improv on current events, which is what you

201
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: guys do, Okay, so we are yeah, yeah, horrors and

202
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: gestures have occupied the same business and the whole exactly,

203
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: and we just and we just give our heart takes

204
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: for Casper mattresses. We're all playing to the pleasure of

205
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the king. Are there cultures that like we're less patriarchal

206
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: and we're more accepting of sex work than Rome? Like

207
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: what are stuff that's impossible? Man? There's greatest hits because Yeah,

208
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: I feel like we are in the Roman tradition and

209
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: like we assume that we are like progressive, but we're

210
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: actually compared to other cultures throughout history, we kind of

211
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: centuries behind. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of evidence

212
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: about like different beliefs around like women and gender and

213
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: bodies that provides like a way better foundation. Right in

214
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: indigenous communities across North America. There's also like in Brazil

215
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: and India, there's a long tradition here ancient Greece. When

216
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about like the Western tradition is sort of

217
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: like when my when my story of history, which is

218
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: like way oversimplified, right, I do ten thousand years and

219
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: seventy five minutes, right, Like there's a lot of erasure

220
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: and oversimplification that happens, but like I kind of pin

221
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: Ancient Greece is like the briny waters where like we

222
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: see patriarchy, right, we start to do lineage through the dad,

223
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: but goddesses that engage in the erotic arts still have

224
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: real power. Yeah, that's cool. And we go through phases, right,

225
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: like the medieval period is like another upstart. Then you

226
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: have like you know, the witch burnings, and you have

227
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: like you know, the the descent of disease. It's yeah,

228
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: but there's my favorite topic, and I'll you know, I

229
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: will corner you know it. It's always frustrating when we

230
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: have a guest on who's like, oh, the thing you

231
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: talk about in your podcast is way more interesting than

232
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: the news. We should just talk about that the whole time.

233
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: But well, we'll try and fit in some news. But

234
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: I want to keep talking about this. What is something

235
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Kate? Oh boy, I'm gonna get

236
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: a lot of haters for this one, but I gotta

237
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: do it because it's reasonally appropriate. I think Christmas music

238
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: is wild overrated, and I think people who start listening

239
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: to it like in mid October, like that's a lot.

240
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: It's a lot. I'm not saying all Christmas music is dad.

241
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Christmas music shouldn't be played during the

242
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Christmas season, but when there are like three radio stations

243
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: dedicated to Christmas music like November one, that is a

244
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: little bit of overkill, Guys, I would say, yeah, it is.

245
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Really it's a strange phenomenon that like for a month,

246
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: Like that's how powerful Christmas is that for a month

247
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: we all just listened to like mediocre music and it's

248
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: like the same every year or just yeah, but it is.

249
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all about nostalgia, right, So yeah, I

250
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: think that's what's wild. Yeah, it's like it's an emotional

251
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: safe space for a lot of American people. Like but

252
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: this time of year was great because in school would

253
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: be out and I could stay home and there were gifts,

254
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: and then I saw a family, and then I didn't

255
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: have to go to school, and I feel like a

256
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: lot of my because I'm one of these people, like

257
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: I will turn and into a straight up Karen starting

258
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: December one, like I trying to wait or maybe right

259
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: after that's reasonable though, after Thanksgiving, but then like people

260
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: are listening to Christmas music in mid October. I'm just like,

261
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: that's such a long time and too much of a

262
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: thing you like is bad, like it will become meaningless

263
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: because I only I really like. You're saying, there are

264
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: only like sixteen songs I really like, and you will

265
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: go through them like songs back then were like ninety seconds,

266
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: So you listen to all of them like forty minutes,

267
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: you're like, fuck, man, another round of that playlist single

268
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: about rock again, up but again. The thing I do

269
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: is I'll put on like piano covers, like piano jazz

270
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: covers of like Christmas standards at night to make my

271
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: house feel like a hotel lobby that I'm not supposed

272
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: to be in. M hmm, yeah, I like that. Do

273
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: you have like some cinnamon like uh pot pourri that

274
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: you can put there? Yea to some some milling spice,

275
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You've got that monk spices

276
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: about that I have? I have my woodwick Yankee candles.

277
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean that I'm telling I'm not

278
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: joking about this, the vibe setting I do. I'm some big,

279
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: austere glass like non cheerful. I'm just trying to picture

280
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: like a fancy hotel at Christmas. I feel like they

281
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: have like two giant glass fucking Christmas tree or something. Yeah,

282
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: so many orbs or like a like a gigantic what

283
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 1: looks like a scientific glass flask which is meant to

284
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: like evoke a Christmas tree with like ribbon. It's like

285
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: very minimal, it's very fancy. I do feel like the early,

286
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: like the fact that Christmas is getting earlier and earlier

287
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: is probably connected to the overall like infantilization of America,

288
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: because like I hadn't really made the connection until like

289
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: now I have a three year old who starts asking

290
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: about Christmas and like August, and so I feel like

291
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, yeah, like it's you know, the little

292
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: baby and all of us being like I want Christmas

293
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: now exactly because I'm like, what am I going to

294
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: deal with my thirty seven year old reality? Exactly? I'm

295
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: fucking nine. Yeah, let's go. I was just talking to

296
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: my therapist about regression and the fact that like so

297
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: many of us have progress during the pandemic for better

298
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: and worse, and like I definitely think that's a huge

299
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: part of the Christmas thing getting earlier and earlier. It's

300
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: like the world is so bad, people are just looking

301
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: for like little slivers of comfort, and Christmas music is

302
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: one of them. So I don't want to begrudge anybody's

303
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: Christmas music listening. I just like, maybe not for you,

353
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: and it does work. Oh yeah, that's the only way

354
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: you get that color. Yeah, because I used to do

355
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: butter and I'd be like, what the funk? It only

356
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: gets at a certain point and they're like, no, that's

357
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: the sugar and the mayonnaise that you need to and

358
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: then you get that nice texture. And I'm like, I

359
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I do like you yelling at butter though,

360
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah you should. What are you doing? Aggro nightmare

361
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: And I'm like throwing ship getting mad at mayonnaise. But yeah,

362
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: I love. I mean, I'm a big Japanese CUPI mayonnaise fan.

363
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: That ship on fucking everything, And yeah, I don't know.

364
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh. I get in some places where

365
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: people get upset about mayonnaise, but at the end of

366
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: the day, it's just like a fat delivery vehicle, right,

367
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: It's all the things you like anyway, eggs olive, oil,

368
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But like, um, I feel like it

369
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: takes a bad a little bit of a bad a

370
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: bad rap. And I'm like a big Mayo proponent. Well,

371
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: I think if you're like if if you're putting mail

372
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: and everything like it's ranch, then sure, I think there's

373
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: a thing with like, you know, mayo. I I get

374
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: to a certain point like it is necessary for a

375
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: lot of things, But then you do like I've I've

376
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: reacted to seeing things where it's like just extreme amounts

377
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: of mayonnaise being used for something that I didn't realize

378
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: mayonnaise was in. And I'm like, yeah, that's fair, that's fair.

379
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: But and it does I am Italians, please call in

Speaker 1: with your thoughts on mayonnaise for your Sunday sauce. Well,

381
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: not for the Sunday sauce. This is not for the

382
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: Sunday and not not in the gravy, okay. But but

383
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,840

384
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I really I feel like I need to

00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: I do agree with you some people do that gross

387
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: thing where it's like it's too much and it makes

388
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: the noise and it doesn't it doesn't make an appealing

389
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: noise in a big hole? Yeah? Really? Really? Do you

390

Speaker 1: funk with the Mayo chup? Is that what we're calling it?

Speaker 1: empty green juice right next. We never do that because

410

Speaker 1: we keep our Yeah exactly. I think it's fine like

411
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: that people do actually do it, But I think at

412
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: this point we need to have grown up and been like,

413
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: that's just what happens, and it's no longer like oh

416
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna be like, hey, man, you want to go to

Speaker 1: that character. Hi, man, you want to poke bar? Man?

419
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: This poke that's a little bit of all right, man,

420
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm from West Hollywood. We have the highest minimum wage

421
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: in the nation. They do Hollywood. Alright, let's take a

422
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk about what's

423
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: happened in the news. And we're back. So the big

424
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: news in the mainstream media is people are more people

425
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: are quitting than than ever before. There's more unemployed people

426
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: than ever before. The great resignation is upon us. What

427
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: what is happening? And so there's a couple of things happening.

428
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: One trend that people are kind of starting to document

429
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: is that people seem, especially young people, seem less likely

430
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: to just do a job because it's a job. They're

431
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: more likely to kind of want to follow their passion.

432
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: It's funny you you highlighted this article for us miles

433
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: that where this like this study calls it what I

434
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: call the passion principle, the prioritization fulfilling work, even at

435
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: the expense of job security or a decent salary. So

436
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: they've like managed to laboratory as just people doing what

437
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: they love. Yeah, not not mimicking like our parents or

438
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: grandparents who are like I worked myself into bone dust.

439
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: So you're like, oh, no, that's for me. But yeah,

440
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: this is like, you know again, that's not new. I

441
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: think for the longest time, we've heard things like you

442
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: gotta follow your passion. Man, if you if you do

443
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.

444
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: And and and that is true to a certain extent.

445
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of stuff to indicate. Through

446
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: certain studies, like with interviewing college students or career coaches,

447
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: found that over seventy of college educated workers believe that

448
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: passion is like really important in making a decision, like

449
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to what what kind of career should

450
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: I take? And sixty seven percent of them say that

451
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: they would prioritize meaningful work over job stability, high wages,

452
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: and work life balance. And I think on a certain

453
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: level that made for I don't know, when I graduated

454
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: in fucking two thousand seven, I walked into a fucking recession,

455
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, to fuck, okay, I don't know what

456
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: the funk I'm I thought I knew what I wanted

457
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: to do, but now I really have no fucking idea

458
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: what I want to do. And I think that forced

459
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: me into a moment of truly thinking of, like, well,

460
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: right now, not many things are an option, So maybe

461
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: let's take this time to figure out what is you know,

462
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: something that really energizes you. And I think the idea

463
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: being that like if you again, if you like what

464
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: you do, then you won't feel like you're just you know,

465
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: going day in, day out and wasting parts of your

466
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: life by just toiling. But the thing that's really interesting

467
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: about that is that that idea of following your passion

468
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: works to a certain extent. Right, it's probably working for

469
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: people who either have some family that they can support,

470
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: that can support them through a career transition, or just

471
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: in general if there are social safety nets. This was

472
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: an interesting statistic that said, when working class college graduates

473
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: pursue their passion, there about twice as likely as a

474
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: health as wealthier passion seekers. Interesting description to later end

475
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: up an unstable, low paid work far outside that passion. Right,

476
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of you know, social safety net

477
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: career things sort of tied up into everything that's happening

478
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: at the moment. I also think there's collective trauma from

479
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and people I can't imagine

480
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: that there weren't some people who were like, oh, I

481
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: make a better living getting unemployment than I do doing

482
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: this job. And now I'm going out and risking my

483
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: life and they don't care about me because I'm not

484
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: worthy of health care. And so I can't imagine that

485
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: people had, you know, the the facing your mortality the

486
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: way we did in the last couple of years, where

487
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: people don't give enough credit for that. People were probably like, yeah,

488
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm and it's and and it's not like coronavirus

489
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: has disappeared. It's not like COVID is still not here.

490
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: So I can't imagine that people knowing how many people

491
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: passed away, it was just like a brush of this

492
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: group of people that are just gone. Now that people

493
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: are like reevaluating quality of life, Yeah, And I think

494
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: like that kind of goes to the other point that

495
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: they're making that you know, in America especially, we tend

496
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: to like the first thing people ask someone is like

497
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: what do you do? And then like that defines like

498
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: how you think of that person, or it defines how

499
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: you think of yourself, like you feel a certain way

500
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: about having a job, or like talking to somebody and

501
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: not feeling great about your job more than other countries.

502
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: And so I think that that's another implication of the

503
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: study is that it's okay to not have a cool

504
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: sounding job if you're able to, you know, have a

505
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: good work life balance and take care of yourself and

506
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: the people that you care about and then pursue the

507
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: ship that you love, like when your job that respects boundaries,

508
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: like allows you to Yeah, you know what, I just

509
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: I got to say this because it's burning inside of me.

510
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't know where I was gonna say it, but

511
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: I need to say it. So there's a shortage of

512
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. Right, there is a shortage of Santa Clauses

513
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: throughout the country because the people who dress up like

514
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: Santa Claus do not want to get COVID. They don't

515
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: want little kids who are not vaccinated sitting on their laps, right.

516
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: I thought it was because they don't want to get

517
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: in trouble for you know, other reasons, but it was

518
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: it was because of that. But I think it's interesting

519
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: because a lot of the people who believe in Santa

520
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: Clause that you know, don't they want you to say

521
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, not happy Holidays, tend to be affiliated with

522
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: this ideology that COVID vaccinations are not necessary, that we

523
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't be wearing masks. But it's just perform A lot

524
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: of it is performative because everybody is going to protect

525
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: their own high and so now you gotta hold bunch

526
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: of Santa Clauses that are not dressing up and not

527
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: going out because they don't want to get COVID. But

528
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm like about COVID wasn't real? So well no, I

529
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: mean is it? Fuck? You're right, it's real, and I'm

530
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's why I do think though that

531
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: like having a generation or just a populist like after

532
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: the pandemic that is less likely to be interested in

533
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: doing like kind of bone grinding miles as you put

534
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: at work and like soul deadening work like that is

535
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: going to have a fundamental impact on like, like one

536
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: of the big things that ties into job like satisfaction

537
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: is like feeling like you're doing something. And we talked

538
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: last month about like studies that have shown that, like

539
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, up to like forty two, like, most jobs

540
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: in the American economy are just bullshit jobs that are

541
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: like make work jobs that like allow people to have

542
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: a job managing other people. And that's like basically why

543
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 1: those jobs exist. Like I've the longer I've spent working

544
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: in the American economy, the more I've realized that that

545
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: seems to be at least half of jobs is just

546
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: like bullshit make work jobs like in a lot of

547
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: cases make other people rich. Jobs. Yea, precisely. And that's

548
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: like the other thing that in this article in The

549
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: Atlantic points out too, is like, you know, employers love

550
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: when they can find people who say they love their job,

551
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: because that means they can they can squeeze more out

552
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: of you. And that's sort of like they're like do

553
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: And that was sort of like the thrust of this

554
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: is like, don't fall into this pit of like I

555
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: love my job, because it's not all You're not always work.

556
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: You're most of the time, I would say, of us

557
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: aren't working for us. We're working to make someone else

558
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and like to the idea of

559
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: like what it means to work and just like these

560
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: bone grinding jobs, like I even think about even guilt

561
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: I would have about being like, it's my job hard enough,

562
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, like am i am I? Am I am I?

563
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: Because I look at the examples of jobs my family

564
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: has had through the generations and I'm like, dude, I've

565
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: been my grandmother fucking laughing at me. So oh you

566
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: a podcast or to how far did you go to

567
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: get water? And I'm like what it came out to think?

568
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of and I think there again

569
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: because of the idea of your job being wrapped in

570
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: your identity. It really is insidious, which is why I like,

571
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, people are pivoting the things like actually the

572
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: things that matter to me. Isn't necessarily saying I have

573
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: I do X for a living rather than I have

574
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: a thing. Look, I know I have to work because

575
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: that's how capitalism is, or else I will be homeless

576
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: and starving. So let me find something that actually gives

577
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: me the freedom to do the ship that I actually

578
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: like to do. And I don't have to get too

579
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: so wrapped up in thinking my work has to be

580
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: the thing that gives me everything that I want. Yeah,

581
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: you hear these kids now, and which I respect that

582
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: they are calling out this toxic capitalism that's driving us

583
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: into the ground. You know, people, we're really wepping izing

584
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: socialism and communism and those buzzwords to alarm people who

585
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: are being you know, motivated emotionally and through their pain,

586
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: and you know, they're all of that stuff is being

587
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: hijacked to serve a great purpose to keep feeding this

588
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: toxic capitalism that is running the world, not just America.

589
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: And it's just interesting to see people now calling it

590
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: what it is because the conversation have been framed so

591
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: that if you called out capitalism as having toxic properties,

592
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: that you were being anti American. And now people are

593
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: starting to say, oh, man, like this man made how

594
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: much money during the pandemic because I didn't have any

595
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: food in my house? And I just think it's important

596
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: and I think it's admirable to hear people finally starting

597
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: to say with the real you know where the real

598
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: sources because from that is where the white supremacy reigns

599
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: down on us, and the patriarchy and the sexism and

600
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: the religious oppression, and it it is all a function

601
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: of rich people getting richer at the expense of those

602
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: who are willing to bleed for being a Republican, a democrat,

603
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, working for this company or that company. And

604
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: now people are finally saying yeah, nah, good right, and

605
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: to the point where like you're saying, like in previous eras,

606
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: it would be like, oh, you're what are you talking?

607
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: What's all that? Ship? You a socialist? You're like, oh no, no,

608
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: I'm not a comedy or a pink Oh no no.

609
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: And now it's like, oh, you're a socialist. And now

610
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: already's like yeah, and what right, So yeah, I mean

611
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: to work for us to right, Yeah, exactly like my

612
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: senators kids go to a good school. Right. I'm curious

613
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: for you, like I like, even in your special right,

614
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: you talked about how you you did a lot of

615
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: political commentary and that, and then you're like, I don't

616
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: know if that's for me, And I think especially for

617
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: people who are in the arts performative, there's definitely an

618
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: evolution of thinking like is this a job I want

619
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: to have? Is this a job I can sustain in

620
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: my life with, sustain in a family with Should I

621
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: just take something that's more consistent? What sort what was

622
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: your sort of path through all of that to kind

623
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: of arrive where you're at right now. So I'll be

624
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: honest with you, I've never made any money for being

625
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: an activist, right, So when people it's a it's a

626
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: thankless job, right, And it's not a job, it's just

627
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: our civil duty, as you know, people who live on

628
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: a planet with other people. I think it's just healthy

629
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: to say I care about you and if you don't

630
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: have food, that should matter to me because it's just

631
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just I guess where the definition

632
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: of humanity is For me, what I had to evolve

633
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: to and learn in this business is that one I

634
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: have the privilege of doing it because I have a

635
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: job in comedy that I do get paid for, and

636
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: if I don't want to do this anymore, I can

637
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: just go write my jokes. And but there are people

638
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: on the ground who do this every single day, who

639
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: fight for the planet, fight for it, you know, racial

640
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: justice and equity, that fight for the rights of women.

641
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: And those people don't get a lot of followers on Instagram,

642
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But if Kim Kardashian said

643
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help this lady get out of jail, Everybody's like,

644
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: oh my god. There are people who are doing that

645
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: every single day. That the people who actually helped Kim

646
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: kardashi and accomplished that, that you that they get overshadowed.

647
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: And so I didn't want to be a part of

648
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: that because I feel like that's toxic too. So I

649
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: decided that I was gonna use my my whatever I

650
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: have to shine a light on the people who do

651
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: that because they need the support. They need the economic support,

652
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: and they need the moral support because it's a really

653
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: hard job to fight for stuff. And that I would

654
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: I would continue my advocacy and activism through my art,

655
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: and so I'll write the jokes about this, But I

656
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: am in no way equipped nor um informed enough to

657
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: talk about some of the things that people who this

658
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: is their expertise, and I just felt like I was

659
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: in a way and I wanted to get out the way.

660
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: The other thing is that people are exhausting. As I

661
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: said in there, it's hard to fight for people that

662
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: you hate, Like I want to turn a ride, you

663
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, I just like I can't

664
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: stand you all, like because the worst damned if you do,

665
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: damned if you don't. You know, if I say something

666
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: is why are you saying something? Why are you talking

667
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: for us? If I don't say anything, why are you

668
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: not saying any time? But I just decided that I

669
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: was gonna redirect my energy and I was gonna put

670
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: it in my scripts, and I'm gonna put it in

671
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: my writing. I'm put it in my jokes and the

672
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: movies that I write and the TV shows that I make.

673
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of the way, and I'm gonna

674
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: let those people who do what they do with any

675
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: time I have any power or visibility I'm gonna shine

676
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: a light on them. Yeah, and I could you could tell,

677
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: especially like in your special. I really loved how you

678
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: gave everyone a lower third, like no one was just

679
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: anonymous or just a like a thig like back wallpaper

680
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: or nothing. You're like, no, this is this this person,

681
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: this is the name of this group, even if they're

682
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: performing me on the street. That was just like you know,

683
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 1: and again you could see that permeate through your work.

684
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, I appreciate that you noticed that because that

685
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: was something that I had to vocalize. I was like,

686
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, those people are important, and this is one

687
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: of the people that look like this don't get to

688
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: be on HBO Max, with Netflix with frequency, so that

689
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: this is their opportunity to shine. Give them a name. Yeah,

690
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: now you're platforming them, and now hundreds of thousands of

691
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: people will see a name be like, oh I thought

692
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: that that group was let me look them up. And yeah,

693
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: really commendable. Thank you. All right, Well, let's talk about schools.

694
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: Let's talk about schools being unfair. Yeah, speaking of that,

695
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: because you know, in addition to pouring billions of dollars

696
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: into the sweatpant industry, the pandemic has changed a lot

697
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: about how we think about schooling because parents had to

698
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: had to do it. I had to like sit there

699
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: with their kids while they were trying to learn. It

700
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: was very difficult. But you know, at the end of

701
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: there was an unprecedented rise in FS, which you know,

702
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: it feels it feels like that is one way to

703
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: deal with, like the fact that a complete act of

704
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: God that nobody had any control over came in and

705
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: made it much harder for kids to learn is to

706
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: blame it on the kids and you know, make the

707
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: rest of their lives harder by just flunking them. But

708
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of school boards have been coming together to

709
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: try to address this issue, figure out like how they

710
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: can change how we think about schooling and you know,

711
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: how we judge students in a way that will be

712
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: more fair and more appropriate to the modern world. Because apparently,

713
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: like the the letter grade thing was invented like a

714
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: hndrew years ago or I guess, and twenty dame back

715
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: to and the reason that it stuck is because it

716
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: became like very common in the how we graded meat,

717
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: and so that's that's how it got like sort of

718
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: became such a great a right, gret f beef, that's

719
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: my question. Like, oh man, my grandfather used to tell

720
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: a funny story as the parent of German immigrants who

721
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: didn't speak a ton of English, that a bunch of

722
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: kids which just lie to their parents about what the

723
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: grading scale meant. So it was like F was fine,

724
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: D was damn fine, see what could do better? B

725
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: was bad and he was awful, Which that all sounds

726
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: so funny. I mean, you know, it has a certain

727
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: sort of sense to it. But kids won't be able

728
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: to get away with that ship anymore apparently. But I

729
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: like the things that there, you know, looking to change

730
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: are basically they want kids to be judged based on

731
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: how mastery of the skill they're trying to learn. So

732
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: if they have learned it well enough to do it,

733
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: then they get by. If they haven't done that, then

734
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: they have to keep going. But like which I assumed

735
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: is like how teachers were thinking about the letter grades

736
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: to write like that, oh well they haven't learned math,

737
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: but they're pointing out that like they're stupid things that

738
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: go into somebody failing, like you know, missing a class

739
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: or not following directions, and so they're trying to do

740
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: away with that sort of thing, right, yeah, go ahead.

741
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean all all that ship did for me was

742
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: just obsess over being and then like scoring above on

743
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: tests because that was a threshold for an A. And

744
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: half the time it was just I mean it was

745
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: funny too, because I think the letter. I think because

746
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: culturally I was so sort of oriented to be like

747
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: these fucking a's better be hitting on this card when

748
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: I see it. That like it put into me like, funk,

749
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: I gotta do anything to get in a more than

750
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: even being like I gotta do whatever it takes to

751
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: learn this. I became more about you can I cramp

752
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: memory recall the funk out of this for a test?

753
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: And also, truth be told, I hated science. I just

754
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: started cheating in science because I was like, funk that

755
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sucking my grades. Though, Yeah, I'll fucking I will.

756
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: I will order the teacher's edition of this physics book

757
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: and do I have the test already? So thank you.

758
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: It's so real though, it's like you're not learning things.

759
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: You're just like, let me learn the structure of the

760
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: eyeball for this biology quiz and then not retain a

761
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: lick of it for any future sort of like things,

762
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: But guys, what about our permanent records. It's gonna go

763
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,479
Speaker 1: on our permanent records because oh my god, I haven't

764
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: even heard you know, you fucked me up just saying

765
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: that out loud. This is gonna be on your permanent record, y'all,

766
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: Like this is gonna Yeah. It's like I never saw it,

767
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: didn't exist about this. He said you were full of shit.

768
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: They're like, well, we'll talk about that at the parent

769
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: for any children listeners, Like, not a day goes by

770
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: where my permanent record from middle school is not dangling

771
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: over my head, by the police, by the I R S, banks, employers, everything,

772
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: the doctor. But yeah, so La and San Diego Unified

773
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: school districts are directing teachers too, and this sounds like

774
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: what they should have already been doing based academic grades

775
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: on whether students have learned what was expected of them

776
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: during a course, and not penalize them for behavior, work habits,

777
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: and missed deadlines. It's like, yeah, motherfucker, that's that's how

778
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: we should have always been doing it. Because the school

779
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: closures that happened disproportionately affected the grades of black and

780
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: Latin X students. So yeah, all right, I mean, it's

781
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting too write. And I'm sure there's plenty

782
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: of allternative schools that take this into account because I

783
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: feel like that's just a huge focus area for people

784
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: in education. But like I think it's like the stakes

785
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: are just so high, like they feel so high in

786
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: this like a through F system that it will either

787
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: create like kids will either very quickly be like Okay,

788
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: fuck it, I can like rise to this situation or

789
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: check out because it just becomes frustrating, you know, and

790
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,959
Speaker 1: even if they can, like I have so many friends

791
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: who were more than capable of being in a P classes,

792
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,959
Speaker 1: but like the momentum of like academia and like being

793
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: sort of told like you're kind of like a C

794
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: student just like no, man, his parents were fighting all

795
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: the time and he was distracted and couldn't do his

796
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: fucking homework like other kids or whatever. Like that's sort

797
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: of what's happening here. You know, it's not gonna like

798
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: this mainstream media. I feel like the mainstream media is

799
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: a society of straight A students got into that or

800
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of F students go ahead and buy on

801
00:45:54,160 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: depotism and you know who like actually think and I

802
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: think a lot of you know, just a lot of

803
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: like the people empower in America. Well not like this,

804
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: because there is a belief that like, well I went

805
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: to a better college and that means not that I'm

806
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: I had more opportunities, but that I'm like actually smarter

807
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: and need to like be in control and like making

808
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: these decisions that affect other people because I need to

809
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: make them for them. Like that is definitely un like

810
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: under girding like a lot of how people think, and

811
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: I think the media and the world of finance, and

812
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 1: like that's also how they justified just the generally fucked

813
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: up way that our society is built out. So like

814
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: the idea that what do you mean my kid can't

815
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: get straight A's Like that's but it's the competition based market,

816
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean society that we have. I'm glad we've like

817
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: started having this conversation about gifted kids and that whole

818
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: escalator of madness. Like I don't know if you guys

819
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: like we talked too much about it on Twitter, I

820
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: will say, and there have been too many things in

821
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: the sort of like former gifted kids do this, But

822
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I myself and a lot of

823
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: my friends, it's like, you know, we've been grinding since

824
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: we were five, like this, it's not fun anymore. Like

825
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: I got all the a's, I did all the right stuff,

826
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: I still can't buy a fucking house. Like I am

827
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: taking a breather and smoking some weep like I am not.

828
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's I hope parents are like loosening the

829
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: reins on some of that stuff too, and realizing that

830
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: like if every kid gets straight a's and every kid

831
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: does all the right sort of like extracurriculars, like you're

832
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: still in the same boat when things like COVID happened.

833
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but I can, like see the

834
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: Fox News segment on this. Now it's gonna be like

835
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: tied to the War on Christmas. It's like the war

836
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: on report cards woke. Report cards cards are now woke

837
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: because even now too hard to hear that you have

838
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: failed at something. Yeah, sure, but I mean I think

839
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: it goes along with this other thing too. Like this,

840
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: these studies constantly come out like again, they're showing like

841
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: like Harvard, like white students that were admitted were like

842
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: recruited athletes. Legacy students are like on a dean's interest list,

843
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: meaning like parents gave money, and you're saying forty three

844
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: percent of those kids going to Harvard are there because

845
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: of not I'm sure of like a hardcore merit based

846
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: admissions that many of the other students face. But there's

847
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: just always these levels to like, it's never the same

848
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: scale bright to everyone. So it would be interesting to

849
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: see where something where it's like, yeah, I guess what.

850
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: In this version, this kid too will be treated as

851
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: a valid applicant to a school because we have a

852
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: more just sort of holistic, even keeled way of saying like, yep,

853
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: this kid knows that this kid does too. We are

854
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: the best of the best of billions of children. But

855
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: so there are reasons to believe that this is a

856
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: better pristance. There's a school in New York City that

857
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: tried this basically did away with letter grades, and it

858
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 1: was a middle school, and they say in this Washington

859
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: Post article quote, the approach has been transformative. In the

860
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: fourteen school years, seven percent of its students read at

861
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: grade level and five percent met the state's math standards.

862
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: Two years later, twenty nine percent were proficient in English,

863
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: twenty six percent proficient in math, pulling the school close

864
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 1: to the city average, just by getting rid of these

865
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,439
Speaker 1: standards of past fail and like the I also feel

866
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: like there's like there are a lot of great teachers

867
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: like I. I've had a lot of great teachers. I've

868
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: also seen teachers who feel empowered because they get to

869
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: be like past fail. Oh, I get to pass judgment

870
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: on these kids lives. Miss Heacocks, I still remember your ass.

871
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we've forgotten. Yeah, she tried. I guess

872
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: what I'm good at math so that you can't hold

873
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: me that down. There are some teachers that are just

874
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: like straight sadist, and you know, to say, not to

875
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: malign the many many wonderful, dedicated, like this is their

876
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: life's work teachers in the world. But you do think

877
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: back on some of those teachers you had, You're like,

878
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: what was your deal man? Like what was going on here?

879
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: Like right, I had this like older person just take

880
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: all their like life's anger out on me, Like legit.

881
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: When I look back, and you kind of have the

882
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: wherewithal to understand like human behavior a little bit more

883
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 1: outside of like the academic or like child adult dynamic.

884
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, you were so fucking unhappy with

885
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: your life and you just got your jollyes off and

886
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: walking in here and just acting a fool like that

887
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: was really that was the loop you were caught in.

888
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we were calling you the teacher. Yeah, but again,

889
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: like you're saying, I've luckily had so many good teachers

890
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: that like could tell I was maybe like starting to

891
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: check out or whatever. I was just distracted. I'd rather

892
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: funk around or something, And they would always come like

893
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: kind of you know, gas you up and be like,

894
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: hey man, you're smart, like you can do this. Ship

895
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: like just do it. I'm like, all right, Well, that's

896
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: such a problem with like contemporary schooling two is like

897
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: we all have such specific ways of learning and retaining information,

898
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: and teachers have to figure out the thirty different styles

899
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: of that for every kid in their class every period.

900
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: Teachers should be making like five grand a year. Yeah,

901
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: they should be the ballers of the earth. Like if

902
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: you go to a nightclub and they're coming through a

903
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: bottle service and the fucking flares, You're like, oh, you know,

904
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: the teachers in the building. There should be a bunch

905
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: of ugly sweaters at the booth that those yeah, just

906
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: like sipping in the crystal. Yeah, like shout out to

907
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: all the teachers in the building. We've got two for

908
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: one drinks for teachers. I like this club. Alright, we're

909
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: going to take a quick break and we'll be right

910
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: back to find out why red wine is like weed. Seriously,

911
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: you guys, and we're backed, and let's see Marjorie Taylor

912
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: Green has just been eating mask fines. Like there. I

913
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: don't know what what does Marjorie Taylor Green. I feel

914
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: like she's it's a heavy protein diet based on watching her.

915
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: She probably eats like cliff bars that she like dusts

916
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: and protein dust. But like she'll lick a protein bar

917
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: and then like salt bay some protein like weight protein

918
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: on it and then that, yeah, that feels like what

919
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: it is. So she's the house's most outspoken antiax or

920
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: posting videos of her workouts to demonstrate her physical fitness,

921
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: or not knowing what a hip of violation is. She's,

922
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, just always disregarding health and safety, and like

923
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: one of the ways she's doing that is just not

924
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: giving a funk about paying an anti masker fund mask fund.

925
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: She Okay, So if you remember after Jean where a

926
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: six when a lot of members got COVID because they

927
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: were in close spaces together and they were begging people

928
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: to wear masks. They're like, fun this, we're not working

929
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: around anymore. It's a fine you sunk around the first time,

930
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 1: it's five hundred, you want to go again, it's hundred

931
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: for your second offense, and then everyone there after, so

932
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: it's not it's not cheap. But she's recently, like you know,

933
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: she's also goes back and forth between this ship where

934
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: she's like, don't ask me my vaccinations status, it's a

935
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: hipo violation to then saying literally this as a quote

936
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: out loud quote, I'm not vaccinated either, and I won't

937
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: be getting vaccinated. And that's my own personal choice. I

938
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: support people that want the vaccine. If anybody wanted one,

939
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: I would drive them to go get one because I

940
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 1: support people's freedom to make their own decisions. No, you don't,

941
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: And you've said a bunch of stuff that would make

942
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: it seem like you were a fool to get a vaccination.

943
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 1: But workout thing. She was claiming that like, by being

944
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: in shape, she doesn't need to get the vaccine, doesn't

945
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: need it because I'm fucking ripped, I'm equipped, and the

946
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: and and the immune system is lit. And so this

947
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: is a sort of whole energy out there with just

948
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: trying to under underscore the fact that it's not necessary,

949
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: don't need it. No thanks. Well, she just was asked recently, like, yo,

950
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: what's up with these fines? Like they're not cheap? She

951
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: told a report. She's like, yeah, I'm up to sixty

952
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: three thousand. Now that's okay. Just so you know, remember

953
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: of the house makes a hundred seventy four thousand a year,

954
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: so she's over a third. She's just kissed a third

955
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: of her paycheck goodbye. And before you ask, the answer

956
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: is yes, that ship comes straight out the paycheck. That's

957
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:31,959
Speaker 1: not a thing where you get hit with a bill

958
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: and you can just you know, take it send it

959
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: to you know, collections. They take it directly out of

960
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: your paycheck. So that's money gone. But I'm sure you know,

961
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: I've been part of her would be like, yeah, I

962
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: don't give a go ahead. Yeah, I'm looking at your

963
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: credit I'm looking at your credit report, Marjorie, and I see, uh,

964
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: I said, you got the US Congress on your and

965
00:54:52,840 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: your collections. She's like, but I mean that's where I'm like,

966
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure. She has some cool dark money ways that

967
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 1: are totally above boards, that are helping offset that phone

968
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: to be the loudest person just making a stand for stupidity.

969
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing too, man, I don't know where y'all from,

970
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: but where I'm from, we don't respect niggas who lose money.

971
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: We don't, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know,

972
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: like what do you sucking up your money? Bro? You like?

973
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: For what? For? What? Like? You know, like even Kyrie,

974
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: like for what, dude? For what? Like for a belief

975
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: about believe in getting this paper? Like what the fund

976
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: is wrong? You like? And I know like there's some

977
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: progressives out there shouldn't be all about money. Kick the

978
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: funk out of here, Like, we don't respect us fucking

979
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: up our money. You know, we need a crime in

980
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: certain cultures, up your money, sucking up. If someone says

981
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: you're sucking up my money, I would start running because that's, yeah,

982
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: something you don't want to. Here's the thing that has

983
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: never been just a black and a white thing, or

984
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: or rich or report thing, like everybody universally accepted. We

985
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: don't funk up our money. That's been like a universally

986
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: accepted thing. And like they're not, and we've gotten to

987
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: a place now where people are so into there. It's

988
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: not even a belief system. That's the thing that's crazy.

989
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: If it was a true belief system, then fine, I

990
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: may not believe, I may not agree with your belief system.

991
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: I may think is rooted in a whole bunch of

992
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: problematic things, but a true belief system whatever. This is

993
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: out of spite, this is out of politics, This is

994
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: out of just I want to be on the opposing

995
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: side of you and you sucking up your money for

996
00:56:54,480 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: that for that man. But I think that's of those

997
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: dynamics aren't at play, right, because if let's say she wasn't,

998
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: she's really gonna be like, I don't really need that

999
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: page like, and I mean, I know she's wealthy. Daddy

1000
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: has a lot of money, and that's she comes from

1001
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: generation has a generational wealth to fall back on. But yeah,

1002
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: that's where like, that's why I believe her calculus is

1003
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: a little bit different, because there is there on on

1004
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: some level, it's probably very lucrative for her to continue

1005
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: this because that is in service of, you know, another

1006
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: of a donor's agenda or just generally like the party,

1007
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 1: the cultural tone of the Republican, which is like, yeah, yeah, great,

1008
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: that's that's great. We'll figure out ways to get you

1009
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: when you'll be okay, we'll make more money in fact

1010
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: if by taking you know. Yeah, but you have something

1011
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: this point that laws that are enforced with funds are

1012
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: laws that don't apply to rich people, Like yeah, right,

1013
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, that's yeah, I get that. Is

1014
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: it just something that my soul hurts when I hear

1015
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: somebody willingly walking through a door and being like, well,

1016
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: hundred dollars today, Like that just hurts. And maybe it's

1017
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's the poor black man in me, you know,

1018
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: the the old poor Chicago in me. But because you know,

1019
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: Nigga's out here making money now, so you know, I'm

1020
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: saying to lose like two hundred dollars, you know what

1021
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying now, right, I'm still clus my clus, my

1022
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: visible pearls saying that man like two hundred dollars and

1023
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: I ain't getting one for it. In the back of

1024
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: your mind, I think you'll ever feel good to throw

1025
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: away two. It's wild, it's wild, but she's she's wild.

1026
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: But that's what have you seen her do? Pull ups?

1027
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: That's what that is the definition like whipping her like

1028
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: lowered body, woody body whips to get your get to

1029
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: get your chin above the bar. Short. All right, we'll

1030
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: talk about Ridley Scott's interview on yesterday's Trending, So go

1031
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: check that out. But I do have to follow through

1032
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: on the flight attendant reveal because you know, people, I

1033
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: tease it up top and just like a local news tease.

1034
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: It's wildly unsatisfying. But what we learned in this one

1035
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: tone as a passenger hitting up a flight attendant, oh

1036
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: so yeah, somebody said, like call attendant button on their

1037
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: seat exactly, oh yeah, yeah, yeah means one flight attendant

1038
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: is signaling another or that the flight deck is trying

1039
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: to reach them. And then three tones means an emergency.

1040
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: That's the one you don't want to hear. That's okay, damn.

1041
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: Three tones usually is good too. Man. On that game shows,

1042
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,479
Speaker 1: you get three tones that means you want yeah, yeah,

1043
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: yeahn I you know what, I love this. I love this,

1044
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: and I also hate this too, because you know, my

1045
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: anxiety will be like was that three tones? I know, yeah,

1046
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: but you know it was that three tones? Like that.

1047
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: I can see myself doing that if I was like

1048
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: in my field ends on the flight one day, which

1049
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm not scared to fly at all, but every once

1050
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: in a while I'll be in the air, and every

1051
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: once in a while this is rare, but I'll be

1052
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: in the air and I'll be like, if this plane

1053
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: went down, we did, yeah, And that's like a good

1054
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: ten minutes of anticipation of death, like that that sounds.

1055
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: I'll look around the cabin and I'll start hearing mad

1056
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: world plane, do do do do, And I'm just like

1057
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: looking at the other passengers and I'm like, this is

1058
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: the memorial video when this should go down. Look, there

1059
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: was that little family right there, right yeah shirt. Have

1060
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: you heard too that flight attendants have their own secret

1061
