1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Hello, the Internet end. Welcome to eight six seven three.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that is courtesy of Johnny Davis. That's Miles Gray.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm Jack O'Brien. This is what's trending this Friday afternoon.

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: How are you this Friday? By the way, another week,

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: another week down? Uh down. You can just continue trying

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: to push on, trying to, you know, make sense of

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: this world. But I think I don't know, I'm trying

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: to feel like that because time is sort of odd

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: that time's moving faster in a weird way. Um, I'm

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: like getting the opposite. Week went fast. Yeah, this week,

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: previous weeks it went slow as fucking This week went fast. Yeah,

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: like I was mistaking Tuesday for Friday like last week. Yeah. Now,

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm I think we're three weeks ahead of where we

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: are right now. Yeah, it's just what's going on. Well,

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: these are four things that are trending right now. R

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: I P to the XFL. Yeah. The XFLU suspended operations,

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: not just like suspended play, but suspended operations as a

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: league and laid off basically all their employees everyone. Yeah,

19
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, are they cutting their losses short

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: now because they want to come back in like, Okay,

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: if we don't pay anyone because we're not gonna make

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: any revenue, then there's a shot we can try and

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: dust this thing off in a year. They said they

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: have no plans to come back. Oh no, Yeah, I

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: think it's basically this was their second try and it

26
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: did not. I mean, cursed is to steal Jamie loftus

27
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: his line, but uh, sometimes you think that speaks for

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: all of us. I think they would have got the

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: message the first go round with the XFL that you know,

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: people weren't really that into it, right, or when Trump

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 1: tried to turn the National the whatever Continental Football League

32
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: into a offseason NFL and that failed, that this is

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: just like an idea that seems like kind of a

34
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: no brainer to a business person every ten years, and

35
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: they have to just like funk it up and lose

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: a lot of people some money and put a lot

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: of people's health on the line to to do it. Yeah.

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon, really he's into the sports where it will

39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: chew up and spit out the athletes that are involved

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, it's monster. Yeah. Um, just because he

41
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: plays a monster on TV does not mean that he's

42
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: not an actual monster. But when does art become life?

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: You know? And it's like Apple and Google. Have you

44
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: heard about these guys? I mean I I I like

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: a good Apple, um, but yeah, I don't think. So.

46
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: There's also this company called Apple, and it's also one

47
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: called Google UH, and they're working together on a tool

48
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: to surveil us UH for phone contact tracing for coronavirus. Yeah. Literally,

49
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: they're going to get an app that tells you if

50
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: you've had any recent contact with someone who had the coronavirus.

51
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: And won't they need you your phone too? Like, won't

52
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: they need everybody to install that for it to work.

53
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: It'll probably be like an operating system update where it's embedded,

54
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: like that tool is going to be part of it

55
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: or part of TOPI they're using, like it's going to

56
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: be using I think Bluetooth essentially to like begin to

57
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: make those connections. So if someone like dials in like

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: oh I have it, then they can start going to

59
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: what other cell phones are you around uh and then

60
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: immediately building that web. So I mean, if if this

61
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: goes past just merely contact tracing for COVID and it's

62
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: part of like a dystopian s valence state, does I mean,

63
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: people are gonna have like burner phones they bring to

64
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: pretend they were with someone else. Like, what's the shell

65
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: game you play if you want to throw off a

66
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: contact tracing technology like that? Just thoughts I have. I mean,

67
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: that's something in Contagion is Matt Damon learns that his wife,

68
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow was cheating on him because of a content

69
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: like her ex boyfriend dies from the disease she had

70
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: and she was like patient zero. So he's like, wait

71
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: a second, so you know, because could happen. I haven't

72
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: seen that film, but I imagine that scene happening very

73
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: comedically where he's like, what her ex damn it. It's

74
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: actually like kind of understated. They're just like, yeah, he's

75
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: just a pathetic cuckled like his but his wife is dead,

76
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: so they don't say it, but it's just like they

77
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: just kind of like move on from it. I mean,

78
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: I guess that makes over sense when you're talking about

79
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: a global pandemic, Like you don't need to get to

80
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: Tai bog down on this one guy's tragedy. Yeah, yeah,

81
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: that's like macro tragedy. Yeah, it's almost interesting. They're they're like,

82
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: this is this would be an entire movie in other circumstances,

83
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: and yet here it's just like an afterthod Right. Yeah,

84
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that that scares me because I do

85
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: think that people who have it, or get it or

86
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: test positive are going to then immediately begin trying to

87
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: cover it up. I know people who have tested positive

88
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: who haven't told people, even though that would have been

89
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: the responsible thing to do, because then they, you know,

90
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: there's like a stigma attached to it. And I talked

91
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: before about how there was a New York Times article

92
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: about this person who tested positi, who went in got tested, uh,

93
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: and then two days later nurses arrived at their house

94
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: and has met suits like it was the fucking end

95
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: of et. I'm just like, that's gotta and told them

96
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: that they and their entire family had to stay quarantined

97
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: for two weeks. Now, that was before the rest of

98
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: the world was also doing that. But yeah, I thought,

99
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: I feel like it's got to be I don't know

100
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: that this seems like it's leading towards a whole mess. Yeah. Well,

101
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: I think that's why they're trying to say. Using bluetooth

102
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: over GPS is how they'll somewhat avoid the violating people's

103
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: civil liberties tight rope that they're walking. So it's not

104
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: necessarily saying like indefinitely through GPS. It's just more of like, oh,

105
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: you were near that phone. We don't know where, but

106
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: you were near a phone. Um, we're just letting you

107
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: know that happened. So I'm again it's but this is

108
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: how it, like all those films start. It's always like,

109
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: I think this is the inciting incident for the rest

110
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: of the Dystopian film to play out in three acts. Yeah, man,

111
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, let's talk about sports. We're sandwiching all the

112
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Dystopian ship with sports. Got was the jazz center who

113
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: the seven footer probably the best defensive player in the

114
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: league for the past couple of seasons running just a

115
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: great shop blocker. And when we have a big guy

116
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: in the middle who is a great shop blocker, it

117
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: totally affects what other teams were able to do on offense. Also,

118
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: total fucking clown when it comes to uh, not to

119
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: be offensive to clowns, but when it comes to the

120
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: his behavior. When it came to the novel Coronavirus, he

121
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: was the guy who touched all the microphones because he

122
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: thought it would be funny, ended up being patient zero

123
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: on the n b A, getting the NBA season suspended,

124
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: and his best teammate the best player on his team.

125
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: He's probably the second or third best when you take

126
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: defense into account, but his best player is a young

127
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 1: guy named Donovan Mitchell who's in his third season. Uh

128
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: and they are apparently not uh he so Donovan Mitchell

129
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: was I think the third players I can player maybe

130
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: to test positive for coronavirus and he they're They're not

131
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: cool right now? Yeah, I mean this is kind of interesting,

132
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, where you see people like be really critical

133
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: of neighbors. Like I've seen text threads where people are

134
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: like they've shown screenshots of like a thread they have

135
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: with people if they live like in a quad, like

136
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: a four unit building or something, and one of the

137
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: four units is like acting out they like get together, like, yeah,

138
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've if you've seen her, she's

139
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: been having people over every night. Like, I don't know

140
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: if we need to say something because blah blah blah,

141
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of people, you know, are really depending

142
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: on how seriously they take it. I think it probably

143
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: relates to the stakes that they see in there that

144
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: are real to them, like which is sort of like

145
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: I could spread an illness and it could inadvertently kill somebody.

146
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: And it's weird to see these values play out like

147
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: in a team where Mitchells just sort of like this

148
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: fucking asshole dude, like it's taking things just a fucking joke.

149
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: People are dying now. I don't know if Mitchell is

150
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: also thinking of it like this motherfucker got the season

151
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: canceled because it would have happened either way regardless of

152
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert's antics. But like, it's it's interesting to see

153
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: this other subculture be born out of this shutdown life society.

154
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: We're loving it, yeah, exactly, And and I'm curious to

155
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: know like where that is on the spectrum, like in

156
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: terms of what his feelings are towards Rudy. But in

157
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the article, a lot of people are

158
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: very narrowly like hanging onto this headline. The coach seems

159
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: to feel like they're gonna get past it or whatever,

160
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: and the franchise is trying to do whatever they can

161
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: to patch that up. But I mean, I don't know,

162
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: that could just be a coach being really optimistic. We

163
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: don't know how this virus has affected either part like

164
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: any of the parties involved, but it will be it'll

165
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: be interesting. I mean, I think any team coming back

166
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: from this quarantine is gonna gonna take a second to

167
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: start vibing again because you've completely there's so much momentum

168
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: you lose as a team when you don't have that

169
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: chemistry basically bubbling throughout a season and you're essentially just

170
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: starting from zero, like you have to overcome inertia again,

171
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: and if you already had chemistry problems, like I can't,

172
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that this is gonna necessarily help them

173
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: if especially if like some people are getting other people sick.

174
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: So you mentioned their coach, who is Quinn Snyder, who

175
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: is one of these people who is just perpetually wet,

176
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: like his hair always seems wet. Okay, like Tray Goudy

177
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: kind of like the hair is always like what's going on? Well, No,

178
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Tray Goudy sometimes seems dry, like he always see like

179
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: his hair always seems wet. I just wonder how you

180
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: how you make that decision to be like I'm a

181
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: wet person now. I just always hair is always going

182
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: to look that one woman in college to tell you

183
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: that that looked good for you to never give that up.

184
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: That's all. I forget who tweeted. I think it might

185
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: have been Chelsea Peretti, but it was like something like that.

186
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: How if you compliment a shirt a guy wears and

187
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: then like you can watch them wear it like five

188
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: times in the next two weeks, because it's just like,

189
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: we don't know, man, We're like, you know, were good,

190
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: doing our best, look good, just good. I don't know.

191
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: This hot chick came up to me, like, you know,

192
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: it was way out of I think she comes up

193
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: to me, she's flirting with me. Oh what you say?

194
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: She goes you look like an extra from a Time

195
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: to Kill. You're also glistening and sweaty and wet. I

196
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: think she's trying to boone. Yeah, totally, Its all right

197
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: and then finally saved. The post office is trending. The

198
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: post office is in trouble. I mean I've been hearing

199
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: for years now that the post office loses a lot

200
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: of money each year. But because Trump is you know,

201
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: big business president, big biz pres uh, he is saying

202
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: the bailouts and the stimulus stuff, the two trill that

203
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: he uh, and Congress got past specifically excluded the post Office.

204
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: Which this is at a time when the Post Office

205
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: is hurting, just like all other institutions, and also at

206
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: a time when we're relying on the Post Office more

207
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: than you know, a lot of other institutions, more than

208
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: we have ever in the past. So the Chicago Suntimes

209
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: has a editorial where they're like, what the fuck are

210
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: you guys doing and why would you why are you

211
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: targeting the And it's one of the most efficient, you know,

212
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: non privatized things we have in this country, Like we

213
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: have cheap shipping because of this, like the amount of

214
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: people they employ, like, uh, they employ a ton of women,

215
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: people of color, veterans, just fucking our our any communication

216
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: from the I R S. You get your checks through

217
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: that ship. I don't understand. I guess I mean, I

218
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: do understand, because we're living in a fucking just bizarro

219
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: profit driven world. But like, seriously, this is it's like

220
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: the one fucking thing that you that you should always

221
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: just never questioned whether or not you're gonna fund it fully. Yeah, yeah, So,

222
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean five dollars having to pay five dollars to

223
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: send a letter might be in our near future, especially

224
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: if we keep this president and this Republican sort of

225
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: ethos running the country. I think that's where we're headed.

226
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: But call your local politicians, uh and tell them to

227
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: not kill the post office. Well when the post office,

228
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: that ship goes back like to Like that was one

229
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: of the first things about America where people are like, man,

230
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: this country's got its shipped together. And then in the

231
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: post office. Yeah again, even when you look at the

232
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: the amount of like elderly folks to who need their

233
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: medications like mailed to them, you know, who already dealing

234
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: with limits like what was just start coming out of

235
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: pocket to pay Like I mean, you'd imagine at some

236
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: point the Republicans are going to have to, you know,

237
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: tell Trump, Oh, yeah, you're gonna have to like walk

238
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: that one back. Actually, it turns out like too many

239
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: people know about what's going on here, but who knows.

240
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point everything's been so brazen. But yeah,

241
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: well ship all right, Uh, shout out to the postal

242
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: workers out there. Uh. They also just like having a

243
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: really shitty PR run for the past like forty years

244
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm sure having their budgets just slashed

245
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: over and over. So now like post office, the only

246
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: thing you hear about the post office and pop culture

247
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: is like going postal when somebody's like a mass bad

248
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: service at the DMV, right, um, But yeah, shout out

249
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: to the post workers who are sucking out there working

250
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: their ass off, um to keep this country running. Yeah,

251
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: it was just weird. There's just like another fact I

252
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: was reading about it is that the during the Bush administration,

253
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: the Republicans in power, like in Congress, basically made the

254
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: Post Office like they were required to fully fund all

255
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: their healthcare benefits and pensions for the next seventy five years.

256
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: So they were spending the money that they had for

257
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: people who have not even been born yet or would

258
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: possibly be working for the post office. Um. And so

259
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: that is what's created this solvency issue too, is that

260
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: like this was something completely created out of legislation from

261
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: the Bush administration in two thousand and six. So that's

262
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: why they're like losing money, is because they've like overfunded

263
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: the pension. Well no, they were just saying they were

264
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: requiring them to fully fund everything. They're like, okay, so

265
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: you want those better, you gotta like those have to

266
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: be funded and then you can whatever you want to

267
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: do with your budgets, just so you know that's a

268
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: requirement though. You need to fully fund all that stuff man,

269
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: So again, yes, please save the post office. I don't

270
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: think diamonds. That's where we're at now. Huh Yeah, that's

271
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: where we're at alright, Miles. Uh, that's gonna do it
