00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to Worst Year Ever, a production of I Heart

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Radio Together Everything, So don't don't hello, Hi, welcome back

3
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: to Worst Year Ever. Hello, Hillo stening On. We are

4
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: acting out the part of your elderly relatives at Thanksgiving

5
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: because you're hopefully not seeing them. Yes, and everybody's fumbling

6
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: with their backgrounds and all that. It's going to be

7
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: a very joyful time. You know what I think is

8
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: joyful watching people make the exact same mistakes that led

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: us to Trump, but in a time that is vastly

10
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: worse for everyone in America because plague and a slow

11
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: motion economic collapse. M m m m yeah that gets me.

12
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: What is the academic term super hard? Yeah? Sorry, yeah, okay, okay, yeah? Terms?

13
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: Um we love we love winning, don't we? Um? We

14
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: love winning. I love a good turgid win. You know

15
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: that's the show's speaking, speaking of turgion. You know who

16
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: what is? Who's always turgid? What? Who are a loyal audience?

17
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: All of our listeners turgid as fuck? So that's that's

18
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: what That's what we always say. So the week of

19
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: this recording and presumably of this listening, uh it is Thanksgiving,

20
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: We've decided to do a Q and A episode this week,

21
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: which means we are starting a new Q and on

22
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory every single day. Right, that's right, that's not

23
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: that's not you about, Seth writ No, sorry, that's not

24
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: how I interpreted it. But we could take it in

25
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: that direction, I suppose. But we do have all these

26
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: questions from our listeners, to whom we are quite grateful. Uh,

27
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: so we could just do that also, So you think

28
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: that's a more responsible use of our time than radicalizing

29
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: our listeners to assault a pizza restaurant. I mean, at

30
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: this point, who even knows anymore? But I would say

31
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: it's certainly easier, and I'm all about effortless. Well, I

32
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: would say, funk them up, folks, see if we can

33
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: valid points on both sides. But let's see if we

34
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: can extrapolate some conspiracy theories from these questions? Shall we? Okay? Okay,

35
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: that will be my entire job today. Do you you

36
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: want to do us the honors of reading these questions?

37
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Not really, but I will, Well you don't. You don't

38
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: have to um um side you can. I just want

39
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: me to say their handles, or just ask the questions handles,

40
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: say their handles they'll love that. Everybody loves a good

41
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: handle handle jet sorry handle bar um and no particular

42
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: order rhyme a reason. Uh. These are some of the

43
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: questions from your very very kind fans. Uh. Let's start

44
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: with a fun one, because somebody asked, Cody, Um, did

45
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: you have a funeral for your beard? Oh my poor beard? No,

46
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: because it was resurrected like four days later. Face. Yeah,

47
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: I was not worried, and I never more in the

48
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: beard because it comes back very very quickly. Mm hmm. Fascinating.

49
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: But thank you for showing so much respect to it.

50
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: I'd beard at Andy. I think that's an l to

51
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: to too. Wants to know what is each of your

52
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: visions for the worst case scenario for the end of

53
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: this year. Money. I'll start if everybody doesn't stay away

54
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: from their families for Thanksgiving and mid December, all of

55
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: our hospitals are overrun with bodies, because we're already seeing

56
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: that happen. I think that would be a worst at

57
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: least part of the worst case scenario for the finale

58
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: um in my mind, And it's entirely possible, perhaps that

59
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: the real war on Christmas is people seeing their families

60
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving yeah, I am yeah. This isn't This is

61
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: not a conspiracy theory. Prior to the election, I would

62
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: have said the worst case scenario is a massive surge

63
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: in plague cases that lead to a widespread collapse of

64
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: statewide health care systems and potentially potentially even a collapse

65
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: of national health care infrastructure, alongside an authoritarian crackdown as

66
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Trump consolidates power and his UH supporters take to the

67
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: streets to do violence to their politic cool enemies. And

68
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: now that the that Trump has lost and that his

69
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: supporters so far have not massively escalated political violence on

70
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: a nationwide level, I'd say we're dealing with the best

71
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: case scenario, which is just a partial or complete collapse

72
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: of the health care system due to tremendously escalating plague

73
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: cases along with around six million Americans losing their homes

74
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: and being turned out on the streets. So we're doing

75
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Graby's goods. It's good. It's good. Yeah. Yeah. That plus um,

76
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: any of the any of the things that um, you

77
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: know that uh Trump will want to do while he's

78
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: um in this last like month, you know, any any

79
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: of the sneak sneaky stuff or like I don't know

80
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of like, uh, it's fine, folks for this

81
00:05:52,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: holiday Jesus Christ, people, is what air travels down? That's it.

82
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: That's yet not enough. If you want to be real sad,

83
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: go to flight Radar twenty four and just look at

84
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: all the planes over North America. Yeah, oh yeah, I

85
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: saw that. That's the thing. It's just gonna it's just

86
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a dark and cold. And also pour one

87
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: out for a D S B exchange r I P.

88
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: That's a open source nerd joke. Sorry, let's get another question.

89
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: I could use a new topic. I mean, it's not

90
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: going to be happier, but at leftist veteran wants to know, Robert,

91
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: this is for you. Let's say Trump, I know you do.

92
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: Let's say Trump refuses to surrender the office, who then

93
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: physically removes him? And if it is a lackey that

94
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: has been appointed as head of that office, will that

95
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: lackey be loyal to Trump or to Biden? I mean

96
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: I think it would be like in terms of what

97
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: group would physically remove used to leave office, I would

98
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: guess the Secret Service, because that the White House and

99
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: its security is their job, and past the twenty one

100
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: he would technically be like not, technically he would be

101
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: um an intruder, right, a trespasser? Yeah, so I would

102
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: imagine it would be their job. And since let me

103
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: let me google something real quick left as veteran, I

104
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: hope they live stream it. Yeah you can. So as

105
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: of November thirteen, more than a hundred and thirties Secret

106
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Service officers have been infected with COVID nineteen, which is

107
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: roughly ten percent of the service, largely as a result

108
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: of the president's campaign rallies. So I I don't like

109
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: of the things I'm concerned about, the Secret Service not

110
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: being willing to extricate him from the White House is

111
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: not one of them. I honestly don't think that's very likely.

112
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: It does seem like he's just given the approval for

113
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: the transition. Like what I you know he's now is

114
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: that he's play acting a coup, and I think it

115
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: and play And when I mean play acting, I don't

116
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: mean that there was no risks, because the kind of

117
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: guy Trump is, if there was not enough resistance, he

118
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: would have gone through with it. But there has been resistance,

119
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: not enough, and and in fact, there has been little enough,

120
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: Like the amount of resistance has been light enough that

121
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: I think we have a significant worries in the future

122
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: of this happening with someone who's you know, capable of

123
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: inspiring loyalty in a single human being, which Trump really

124
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: is not because a lot of folks were down with

125
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: the coup um, but there was enough resistance that I

126
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: I he's not committing to it in the way that

127
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: he would need to be committing to it. Uh. And

128
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: I think is just preparing to profit for years off

129
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: of a lost cause narrative without having any of the

130
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: responsibilities of office. Like it's a lot better of a

131
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: situation for him to just critique whoever has replaced you know,

132
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the person who replaces him and cash in on being

133
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: did that. And yeah, and he doesn't. His favorite day

134
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: in office was today when he pardoned the Turkey, Like

135
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: that's when he wanted He was clearly very happy. Yeah,

136
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: which I get it. I too would like to pardon

137
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: Turkey's all day long. Um, but um yeah. I think

138
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: what's also just I've said this before on both of

139
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: our shows, just what this does, what this means, how

140
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: many people believe that this is a stolen election, What

141
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: that means for the next four years, what that means

142
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: for the next next election. All of that is very

143
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: terrifying anyway. Cool, Yeah, I mean that's the thing, Like,

144
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: it's um, he's he's he's a lazy, pathetic little coward.

145
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: Like yeah, he does. He wants it, but he doesn't

146
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: want it enough. Um. And we're lucky for that. Um.

147
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: And I don't think being cautious about what could have

148
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: happened was wrong or alarmist, because that's you. If you

149
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: are alarmed, then you stop the thing from happening. And

150
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: then happened, and it's good. It's good. Yeah. And he

151
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: did repeatedly attempt a coup, right like yeah, like again

152
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: lazily and like not not as violently as it could

153
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: have gone, but he did try. Because he did he

154
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to. I want to lose. He doesn't want

155
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: to be a loser. Yeah. My favorite part of the coup,

156
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: by the way, is when that Trump's lawyers filed an

157
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: affidavit claiming statistical irregularities that proved election fraud. And it

158
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: turned out that the irregularities were because they confused Michigan

159
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: for Minnesota, because they thought that the abbreviation m I

160
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: stood for Minnesota, when actually it stands for uh when

161
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: Michigan Minnesota's is m N and m I is Minnesota. Yeah,

162
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: I both clapped our hands together in delight and a

163
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: little a little thankful prayer hands. Yeah you just said

164
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: it backwards. You said, you said Manan said, yeah, so

165
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: he they thought m I was Minnesota and Minnesota is

166
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: m N. And they thought out that, Uh yeah, so

167
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: they confuse Minnesota in Michigan. So many beautiful golden nuggets

168
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: in all the transcripts of these yeah, these these times,

169
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: and it's very funny and thank god they were this

170
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: bad at it, and thank god nobody who works with Trump,

171
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: Like there was just that thing that came out that

172
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: Burt Carl I think Carl Carl's his first name, Bernstein,

173
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: who was like Woodward's partner in the Watergate story, came

174
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: out with it like a whole He gave a whole

175
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: list of all the Republican politicians confided in him, and

176
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: it was great. But one of the things I love

177
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: about it is it shows you the difference between a

178
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: good journalist who is ethical and a good journalist who

179
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: is not particularly ethical. Because because Bob Woodward is a

180
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: talented journalist in a lot of mechanical ways who was

181
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: deeply unethical. Um, which is why he was willing to

182
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: not tell everybody that President Trump knew that the coronavirus

183
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: was more serious than he led on until his book

184
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: came out. Very unethical. But also the fact that he

185
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: was able to get those stories the way he did

186
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: his interviews. He he knows what he's doing. So there's

187
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: the minus is here. Yeah. Meanwhile, Bernstein is also a

188
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: very talented journalist who was asked by all of these

189
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: people who can fight in him at him, don't tell

190
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: anyone that I've said I hate the president. And then

191
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: he was like, you don't deserve any privacy. Funk, all

192
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: of you. These are the people who secretly told me

193
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: they hate the president, which I love for For Carl Um,

194
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: it included Marco Rubio, famous spineless jag. The worst didn't

195
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: include Ted Cruz, other famous spineless jag. I guess he's

196
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: a little too smart for that, or he honestly likes

197
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: Trump because Ted Cruz loves it when people nag him. Um.

198
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: And when Donald had some psychology psychology going on there. Yeah,

199
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: imagine how hard Ted Cruz got when Trump accused his

200
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: dad of helping to kill Kennedy one of his best days.

201
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, yeah, but one Sophie hit us

202
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: with another queue. Please, I'm not sure how to pronounces

203
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: another que up, drop some ques in here, Dear God,

204
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: I love you. I don't know how to pronounce the

205
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: person's handle. But it's at j E H A A

206
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: s E one. And it's a positive question that says,

207
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: what is the best case scenario for the Biden presidency

208
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: that you think is realistic? Awkward? Defending and expanding Obamacare? Yeah,

209
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: the best case scenario would be something with Obamacare that

210
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: actually increases the number of people, meaningful healthcare, a A

211
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 1: a functional aid package for coronavirus that stops millions of

212
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: additional Americans from winding up on the streets. And climate

213
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: change legislation that is meaningful enough to bias time for

214
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: better climate change legislation. And perhaps something to do with

215
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: kids in cages at the border. Yeah, and and enough

216
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: of a reform of the immigration policy at least the

217
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: additional harms of the Trump administration are reversed. Um. If not,

218
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: things are better than you know they were under Obama. Um.

219
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: And all of this terminating in a situation where the

220
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: Democrats are able to retain control of the White House,

221
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: UM and be pushed further left in now do I

222
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: think that's likely. No, I don't think we'll get all

223
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: of that kind of depends on Georgia. Yeah, it's some

224
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: of it depends on Georgia. It also depends on the

225
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: priorities of the Democratic Party, Like they have two choices, right,

226
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: because incoming administrations have a limited amount of political capital,

227
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: especially when they don't have full control over um, you know, Congress,

228
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: which they don't have anything close to that over Congress,

229
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: and they certainly don't have the Supreme Court. So you

230
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: have limited political capital. And the Democrats have pushed a

231
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: number of different big things. So obviously one of them

232
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: is the COVID response, Another of them is meaningful climate

233
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: change legislation, and another of them is gun control UM.

234
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: And knowing the Democratic Party, I would not be surprised

235
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: if they burned all of their limited political capital trying

236
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: to push for a big gun control bill and then

237
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: had nothing left for climate change, a coronavirus aid, because again,

238
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: they're very fundamentally out of touch with what are actually

239
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: like the major problems and whatever you want to say

240
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: about gun violence in this country, it doesn't rise to

241
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: the level of, say, both coasts being rendered uninhabitable. Can

242
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I answer this one? Yeah? Sure, our our education secretary

243
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: won't be Betsy Divas. That is a good if our

244
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: education secretary thinks children should be educated. Yeah. No, it's

245
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: hard to imagine that not being better. That is a

246
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: very good point, Sophie. No matter what happens with the

247
00:15:49,920 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: Education secretary Betsy, Yeah, that one thing is truly awful.

248
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: She's she's g everything about her. The other thing that

249
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: I think is like that is the degree to which

250
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: things will definitely get better for people who are at

251
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: least immigrating in a UM in a documented fashion, right,

252
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, Like obviously the Obama administration was

253
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: terrible for undocumented people UM. But in terms of people

254
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: who like refugees, people who do come here UM and

255
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: do it sort of the way the government wants you

256
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: to do it, Trump has made things vastly. I I

257
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: live with a Chinese national who who is here as

258
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: like a permanent resident, and her life has gotten massively

259
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: more difficult for no reason with Trump in office, and

260
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: that sort of ship won't continue under a buy it.

261
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to make things better

262
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: for undocumented migrants. But it will certainly they will, like

263
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: immigration will stop fucking with some of the people who

264
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: are more refugees will be able to come here. Um.

265
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: And in general, I would say that international diplomacy should

266
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: imp It would be hard for to get worse. So, guys,

267
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: these are all right things to look for. Yeah, we

268
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: focus on Twitter and stuff on like the yeah, I

269
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: mean yes, yes, sorry, let's yeah, Um, one more and

270
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: then we're going to go to break two guys, just

271
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: so you know, I fucking love breaks. Um speaking of

272
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 1: Ted cruises, Dick. Sorry, give something. We have a fan question,

273
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna add a piece to it. Recovering.

274
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: This is from at L Underscore and Young and they're

275
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: asking recovering conservative here with no leftist friends l O

276
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: L any book recommendations, and I want to add that

277
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: we should have a leftist recommendation. But also like something

278
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: that you're just enjoying that's helpful to you. Yeah, I'll

279
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: say Culture Warlords, Polly A. Lavin's book. We had her

280
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: on a few weeks ago. I haven't finished it yet,

281
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: but it's really good. And then something that is not

282
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: political that's just for fun. I would highly recommend searcy

283
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: something that I read recently. It's a Greek mythology, the

284
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: Story of searcy Um. It's really beautifully done and it

285
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: was a real escape for me, which I really needed.

286
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: I would recommend in terms of left wing theory books

287
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin Um. One of

288
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: the things I like about book chin and the way

289
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: he writes about, you know, alternate ways society could be organized,

290
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: is that I think, if you're a reasonable person who

291
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: was reasonably well informed, it's very hard to disagree with him,

292
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: not in the way that like he convinces you to

293
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: be a lefty um, because honestly, I would recommend, if

294
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: you're advising, you know, some of your friends who are

295
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: more conservative, to read his work, not even to lead

296
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: with that, just say what you know. He's he's an

297
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: interesting thinker. And the way in which he thinks about

298
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: dissolving hierarchy and sort of like reorganizing social relationships is

299
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: just very reasonable. It's really hard to argue with ship.

300
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, we should have a pullet

301
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: bureau and a and a vanguard party and now it's

302
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: it's very very reasonable suggestions for a better way to

303
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: do things. So I I recommend the Ecology of Freedom um.

304
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: And in terms of you know, something fun to read,

305
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a big fan of the Expanse books.

306
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: I think their neat as a as a language nerd.

307
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: One of the authors I think is a linguist, and

308
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: the things that they do with like sort of anticipating

309
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: how language will change for people who have colonized the

310
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: solar system from a variety of different like national backgrounds,

311
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: Like there's a fun like the way they use language

312
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: in the book is is real fun and and continuously

313
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: um interest me um. So yeah, those would be my

314
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: my recommendations. Maret beautiful. Um yeah. I was gonna say, uh,

315
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: marks in the Bible. Um. I think people A people's

316
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: History of the United States by Howard's in is actually good.

317
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: I think if you're like a recovering you say, like

318
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: recovering conservative, I think you'll probably more familiar with like

319
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: the hyper nationalists sort of American imperialist version of history um,

320
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: and our place in the world, and that sort of

321
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: gives another perspective on it and might open up new

322
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: ideas for you. M about um about America, Um, so

323
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: I would I would recommend that. Um, and also read Done.

324
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: Because the movie is coming out in a month. Check

325
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: out Dune. Um, read it and then watch the the

326
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: other movie, um and have a good laugh. Um. If

327
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: you haven't read the new gym Crow, uh, do do

328
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: it now. Um. And then for a fun book, The

329
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: Course of Love a novel? Cool? Okay? Um back to

330
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: a romance novel. It's uh no, it's not. I wouldn't

331
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: call it a romance novelicating it's definitely more like a

332
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: realistic look on what long term love looks like. Nice. Um,

333
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: definitely wouldn't call it like a like a the Notebook

334
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: at all. On that note, it's time to pivot to ads.

335
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: You know that. Thanks thanks so much. What advertisements. Well,

336
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: let's not go let's not be let's not go with

337
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm pretty radical. Yeah, well together everything, we're back. And

338
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: I want to start this next segment of the Q

339
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: and A with a beautiful quote from our our perfect

340
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: brained President of the United States that he just said

341
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: when he pardoned that Turkey Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a very

342
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: special day for turkeys, not a very good one when

343
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: you think about it. A beautiful man with a beautiful brain.

344
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: But it's every and like, look, he's not wrong. You

345
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: can't argue with that's wrong. He's not wrong, he's he's

346
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: so he does. He always gets it. He never fails,

347
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: except when he lost recently, like a loser. Um, but

348
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: I love it's just like every once in a while.

349
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: It's a reminder. By the way, he's very funny. Um,

350
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: not on purpose necessarily, but he speaks in a way

351
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: that no human being has ever spoken before ever. It's

352
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: he creates this, these sentences and craft this beautiful works

353
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: of art that stick with you. And Um, if if

354
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: ten years ago, Cody, when we were fresh faced young

355
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: comedy writers had cracked, we had had a writer who

356
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: writes like the President talks, we would have given him

357
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: a column and it would have been the funniest on

358
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: the site. Amzing. I mean, maybe maybe maybe he'll take

359
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: that column at that website now that he's out of

360
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: a job. Yeah, he is looking at it very strongly.

361
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: We can get the gang back together and add the

362
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: President on our website. I actually dreamed about the gang

363
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: last night. We were at the offices and I don't know,

364
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: but we had masks on and then Daniel O'Brien was

365
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: talking really close without his mask on. For some reason,

366
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: He's the last person who would actually never have exactly

367
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: may be incredibly paranoid about it. Very confused a good way.

368
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: That's a compliment today, it's very conscientious. This is a

369
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: little inside baseball for some of our listeners. Hey self, Yeah,

370
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: let's get another Yeah yeah, drop a que in our

371
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: a holes. Your next question, uh, this is from at

372
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Gin Underscore on Underscore Rocks. When do you guys think

373
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: people will realize normal as it once was is never

374
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: coming back? And do you think that people will be

375
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: less angry scared when they realize that or more so? Um?

376
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the people who benefited from normal will

377
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: ever accept that it's not going back. I think that

378
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: they will expend increasing resources, and they will risk other

379
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: people's lives to increasing extents in order to recreate the

380
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: facade of normality as they experienced it. And I think

381
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: as time goes distant, or as time goes on, the

382
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: facade that they recreate will become increasingly ghoulish, because, for

383
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: one thing, they'll forget what normal actually was, and for

384
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: another thing, recreating a facsimile of normal will become increasingly

385
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: expensive in human life and in treasure. Um, that that

386
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: is what I think will happen with those people. Yeah,

387
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: I think that's really good. I mean, no notes choosing

388
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: choosing to not add to that because yeah, yeah, yeah.

389
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: I just think that there's going to be there's going

390
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: to be people that do not accept that. Yes, yeah,

391
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: well yeah, they'll cling to it. They've been clinging to

392
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: it because it was it was you know obviously with

393
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: coronavirus and climate change of things, that that stark difference

394
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: will become more and more clear. But like it didn't,

395
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: like it didn't just happen this year. Yeah, And that's

396
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: what's frustrating. It's hard because you already, even just with

397
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: this election, you see people excited about a return to

398
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: normalcy and and you know, just so horny for this

399
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: transition and just starving, so thirsty for mimosas, and um,

400
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: that's frustrating. It's very difficult. And I think that there's

401
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: a lot of people, not even just the people that

402
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: obviously benefit from what quote unquote normal was. I just

403
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: think people in general missed the ability to to turn

404
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: off and only think about themselves. And I think that

405
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people are really eager for that, and

406
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: it will be interesting and probably very disappointing to see

407
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: how many people fall back to that as soon as possible. Um. Yeah,

408
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: I do think there is a percentage of people that

409
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: will continue to stay engaged more so than I do think.

410
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: So Yeah. What worries me is like, you know what

411
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: the conservatives with kind of the whole fucking Trump thing,

412
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: you know they are is hearkening back to an imagined past,

413
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: and aspects of that past were real. Um, there are things,

414
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: mainly things that have to do with white supremacy, uh,

415
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: that did exist that don't exist in the same way

416
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: they once did that people want to bring back. And

417
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: there's also completely fanciful, imagined aspects of the past that

418
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: conservatives want to bring back. And I am certain that

419
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: we will see without what we're watching right now with

420
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: this sort of like fetishization of quote unquote competence, which

421
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: is really a fetishization of people who are friendly and

422
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: responsible enough in the way they phrase things that people

423
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: who have it good don't feel like they have to

424
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: pay attention. Um, that is what's actually happening. Um. I

425
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: think that we may be seeing the the liberal equivalent

426
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: of Maga which will not be as toxic or as harmful,

427
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: but will still be toxic and harmful, and will be

428
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: based upon a return to a less imaginary initially but

429
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: will become increasingly imaginary as time goes on. UM past

430
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: where things were better, um, and that past will be

431
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: the Clinton era and the Obama era kind of mixed

432
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: together in a milange. What happened after the Clinton and

433
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: Obama era? Who is yea horrible yeah, exactly, it's not

434
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: It's not good again, I don't think because Democrats are

435
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: somewhat less aggressively toxic than Republicans, Um, it will not

436
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: be as toxic as maga is. It will not be

437
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: based as much around causing direct harm to people, but

438
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: it will be based around not having to think about things.

439
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: And this is a time like the situation is seriously

440
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: serious enough right now with both the plague um, but

441
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: in a greater extent with like the climate and what's

442
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: happening with it, and with the sort of transition of

443
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: our economy to whatever comes after this period that we've

444
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: been in for the last you know, fifty sixty years, UM.

445
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: That not paying attention to it and letting some nice,

446
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: well spoken man um who is also a sociopath, but

447
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: just a more clever one. Uh, dictate the future for

448
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: you is not a good it's not good. It's not

449
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: actually responsible, and they're not actually competent, they're just nicer. Um.

450
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: And some of them are more competent, like by definition

451
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: the Education Secretary. There's the competence, and there's like civility

452
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: and there's all that stuff. And like, again, it's not

453
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: as toxic, it's not as like directly insidious. Um. But

454
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: that even that comparison, I'm already seeing like pointing out

455
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: stuff like this, Um, people already getting very upset by

456
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: like what you're just saying. Republicans are the same as Democrats,

457
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: and like yeah, kind of, but also like if you're

458
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: not able to say these things and point them out,

459
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: then it's just it's not going to get better. Actually,

460
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: it's just going to have a nicer code of paint

461
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, and we need to point out that

462
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: like actually that would is rotten. You can't just paint

463
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: over it. Yeah, I mean, fucking Biden wants to bring

464
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: Mike Morrel back into the administration, who was one of

465
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: the fucking c i A dudes under George Bush, who

466
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: I watched do A Q and A with George Bush

467
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: once that I can't talk about in more detail for reasons. Um,

468
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: but like that's one of the people fucking Biden wants

469
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: to bring back one of the guys who was like

470
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: whole hog into the motherfucking torture program. Um. So you know,

471
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: and if you point that out, Um, actually it's bad

472
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: because it's not the time for that. Robert's not the time.

473
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and it won't be the time of twenty

474
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: two and it won't beat The time doesn't exist. The

475
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: time does not exist for this. And I'm not I'm

476
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: not trying to. I don't think this is a situation

477
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: where people should just maintain the same level of like

478
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: constant terror and outrage that they were at under Trump.

479
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: But you should still because you should for one thing,

480
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: you should be able to like take a fucking breath,

481
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: because it it is better that he and his people

482
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: are not going to be in power anymore. But nothing's fixed.

483
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: We've gotten a slow down on the worst things happening. Um.

484
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: And you do still need to be vigilant, and you

485
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: do still need after you know, taking a break for

486
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: the sake of the health of your heart, to be outraged. UM,

487
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: and you do still need to be active in UM.

488
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: We need to bully these people and we need to

489
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: we need to beat some of them out of politics

490
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: with UM A fucking ivory cane UM ethically ethical ivory obviously. Yeah,

491
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: which is the big new supporter of our show. Actually,

492
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: is that a good time for the second act break? No? No,

493
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: we'll talk about our dog Ivory business later. Yeah, next

494
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: question is dog? Yes? Oh? Sorry, I was petting Anderson

495
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: you drop time. I hate I really hate this. UM.

496
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: This is a good follow up. This is from at.

497
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a drag of five thousand, fifty thousand five.

498
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm sucking at Drago five zero zero five. Do you

499
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: think COVID will governmental will have governmental long term impacts

500
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: such as normalcy of like mail in ballots or will

501
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: people try to forget about it and go back to brunch? Wait? Sorry,

502
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: could you repeat that, Sophie? Yes? I can. Do you

503
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: think COVID will have governmental long term impacts such as

504
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: normalcy of mail in ballots? Or will people try just

505
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: try to forget about it and go back to Brudge?

506
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean our awful mayor in l A possible Biden

507
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: cabinet pick. True bastard is leaving in all the vote

508
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 1: by mail ballot ballot boxes in l A. Yeah, I

509
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: think that some things will stick around, for sure. I

510
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: think that there's gonna be some cultural shifts that happen

511
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: as well. Um. I think I think mail and ballot

512
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: expansion will certainly be happening or you know, maintain. Um,

513
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't know about other things. Idea, you would say, okay,

514
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: let's have conversations about healthcare and universal basic income and

515
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: things like that, but we're not even having them now.

516
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: So money out of politics would be nice. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

517
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: The thing of it is, if the Democrats are it

518
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: doesn't even you don't have to it doesn't even they

519
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: don't have to even be smart. If they're selfish in

520
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: in a moderately intelligent way, they will put in work

521
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: to expand the availability of mail in ballots to make

522
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: that a universal thing, and too like reinstitute the Voting

523
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: Rights Act, um and all that stuff like that. Doesn't

524
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: even require them to be good people. It just requires

525
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: them to be self interested because it benefits them. Um,

526
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: it benefits mainstream Democrats. So yeah, I do hope that

527
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: we get some like significant voting reform in a way

528
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: that improves the ability of people in mass to vote,

529
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: like and if the Democrats don't make a big push

530
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: for that, they're they're not just like the kind of

531
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: dumb I expect from them, But like that that's almost

532
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: like should you be driving a car, like if you

533
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: don't like, yeah, if you can't get that fucking one.

534
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: But I want to alarm you, Robert, but think that

535
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: might be the case. Yeah, No, it's entirely possible. That's

536
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: the case. I'm not saying they will. I'm saying if

537
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: they don't like it's one thing. If they ignore climate

538
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: change because most of them are rich enough to escape

539
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: its worst effects and they don't care about people. This

540
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: actually harms their bottom line. Not improving the ability of

541
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: people to vote hurts them, and they should want to

542
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: do that. But also, I mean, part of it is

543
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: like they you know, they don't necessarily like governing. When

544
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: they have, they hate it. They're not good at it.

545
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: Um We've talked about, like, you know, the idea of

546
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: having a Republican controlled Senate, Like there's they're built an

547
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: excuse to not actually do anything. It's great they thrived

548
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: under Trump because of like resistance stuff. So it's so

549
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: much money, so many followers money, all that stuff, donations. Um,

550
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: but yeah, don't donate more money to them, by the way,

551
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: don't don't do it. They don't need your money. They

552
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: don't need your money. Don't give money. If you can

553
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: find a local candidate or even like a congressional candidate

554
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: who's like really trying to do something cool, you know

555
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: that that's not a bad person to give money to.

556
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: But don't give the Democratic Party nonprofits doing on the groundwork. Yeah, um,

557
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: I think now it really is time to take another break. Yeah.

558
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: Check out our new dog Ivory business. Ivory but made

559
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: of dogs, which is the name of the company. Use

560
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: promo code. I love Ivory. Legit growling right now. Anderson

561
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: does not like that. We've gotten into the dog Ivory business.

562
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: And Anderson is going to eat. She's going to eat

563
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: well because the dog Ivory's. This is the new normal, folks,

564
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: that's what pays the nice the nice food bills Anderson's

565
00:35:52,280 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: let's say you get the good ship everything and we're back,

566
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: and I'll start with a silly one post break. This

567
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: was from at buck Talking, which once again appreciate these

568
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: handles one, two, three, four, And they say, silly question,

569
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 1: what is one dish you want at a Thanksgiving dinner?

570
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: What's your what's your dish? Guys, dish on your dish? Um,

571
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like the stuffing. I like mashed potatoes.

572
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm a vegetarian. Ah, I like a portobello mushroom stuffed

573
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: portabllo mushroom cat That sounds good, that actually really sounds good.

574
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm not like a huge Thanksgiving food guy. Um, I

575
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: eat it. Then it's nice. And who doesn't love a

576
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: lovely time with their family? Some people don't. Um, that

577
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: was yes stuffing. I guess I don't know all of it. Like, yeah,

578
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. I don't do Thanksgiving, but I

579
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: like to every year during like the winter. I like

580
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: to at least one point pit cook at turkey. So

581
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: what I do is I get a whole turkey and

582
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: I marinated and usually a mix of pickle brine and

583
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of um of of apple vinegar

584
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: and stuff uh some salt um for about twenty four

585
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: hours and then I take it out and I'll smear

586
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: the entire outside of the skin and black garlic, which

587
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: kind of has the texture of butter, and then I'll

588
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: stuff normal clothes of garlic underneath the skin. And then

589
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: I'll fill the actual bird itself with usually a mix

590
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: of duck um and a bunch of like crumbled up

591
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: bits of like thick pretzels because they get all soft

592
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: inside there when all the fat and everything cooks into them. Um.

593
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: And then I will wrap that in a bunch of

594
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: foil uh several layers, and I will build. So you

595
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: go outside and you build a fire over a pallet

596
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: of bricks um, and you keep that fire going for

597
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: an hour or so to heat off the bricks. And

598
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: then you push the fire off the bricks, and you

599
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: set the turkey on the wrapped turkey on the hot bricks,

600
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: and you cover it in dirt because you've like dug

601
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a pit. And then you build the

602
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: fire back up around the turkey in a circle, and

603
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: you keep it going usually like eight to ten hours.

604
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: And and kind of the general way I do it

605
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: is once the turkey is in the circle fire, I

606
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 1: start drinking, and by the time I can no longer

607
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: walk unaided, um, it is time to remove the turkey

608
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: from the fire and eat it. I think, Robert, you

609
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: need like a lifestyle blog with recipes guns. Yeah, it'll

613
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: It's so fucking And the beautiful thing about cooking it

614
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: that way is when you wrap it all up like that,

615
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't dry out. It can't. So you just have

616

Speaker 1: I like, it always feels bad to celebrate Thanksgiving. Yeah,

624
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: but I like the sentiment of being grateful and spending

625
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: time with people that you shouldn't spend time with this year.

626
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,359

652
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: What was happening in the world at large, I can't say.

653
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: I can't say that, but for me personally, it's a

654
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: good year. Man. Um, I would say, um, around that time, maybe, um,

655
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: the first few years I was out here, that when

656
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: Kraft was sort of bubbling over. That was pretty joyful. Yeah,

657
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: we had a good time also, I was I would

658
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: say one of the some year during college when I

659
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: was living with a bunch of friends in a gross house, um,

660
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: doing drugs, and I was in a band and I

661
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: just played music in a gross house, um with drugs

662
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: out all. Uh, pretty care pretty care free time. So

663
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: that was that was that was a lot of fun.

664
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: I would say, Um, yeah, man, I you know, for me,

665
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: it would have to be either like two two nine,

666
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: when I was doing drugs all of the time. Uh.

667
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: And it was also my brain was new enough to

668
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: hallucinogens that I couldn't really have bad trips yet. Um.

669
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: That was a good period because all I remember of

670
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: it now are the trips. And I was working in

671
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: special at at the time, which was not a great job.

672
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: But the drugs were wonderful, might be my best year.

673
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: I spent that whole year living out of a car

674
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: with uh my girlfriend at the time and her girlfriend,

675
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: and we traveled up to Canada and all down through

676
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: the East coast, up through the southeast or up to

677
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: the southwest and we um we spent like months in

681
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: was a really good period. Um. Yeah, it's nice to

682
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,959
Speaker 1: remember here three times. Yeah, yeah, I would say two again,

683
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: horrible things happening to other people, but for me, for me,

684
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: two thousand tons when the Lakers beat the Celtics in

685
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: Game seven. Ok Um. I also had my first, uh,

686
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: like time where I had my own money, which is

687
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: why that's a good when you have it, when we

688
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,120

690
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: This is from draft at Draft Drafts and Guns. How

691
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: do I get into investigative journalism specifically if I'm already

692
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: familiar with the writing process, I mean, I would recommend

693
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: that you, you know, save up some money and take

694
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: one of the online courses that Bellancat does and open

695
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: source and open source investigation. UM, they're they're incredibly useful. Uh.

696
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: They will teach you a bunch of cool ways to

697
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: stock people online and to stock corporations and to track

698
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: down ship. They'll teach you how to do geolocation, which

699
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: is very satisfying and also extremely useful for investigations. UM,

700
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: you you will. You will learn a lot from that

701
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: sort of thing. I would also, in general just start

702
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: googling around for different open source tips and tricks and

703
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: find there's all sorts of websites and blogs that people

704
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: have put where they like outline how to do different

705
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: kinds of investigations. Just like if you can dedicate a

706
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: couple of months to reading up every single thing you

707
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: can about how people do that different kind of ship,

708
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: learn how to file FOIA requests to UM and yeah,

709
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: all of that is is what I would say you

710
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: should do. And then just start writing things and pitching

711
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: them to whoever will take them, or put them up

712
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: on your own if nobody will take them, and start

713
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: building up a base of of work that's quality. Eventually

714
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: you can do a Patreon. Um stuff like that. Um,

715
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:18,000

00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: let's start with the basics. There is the coffee bottle

762
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: still on top of the poison room. No one knows,

763
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: No one knows. Is there eight months or something? My

764
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: guess is yes, because that's where it belongs nobody and

765
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: nobody has been there to take it down. Is there

766
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: a really possibility of doing regular recordings since you know

767
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: anytime in the near future. Well, l A just got

768
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: put down on a strict ask lockdown, the strictest lockdown

769
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: since May so doubtful, and it would be kind of

770
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 1: a dick move for me to travel from Oregon to

771
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: l A and back in the middle of a panda.

772
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: It's well, you weren't into our regular in studio as

773
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: far as you're concerned, was very similar because you were

774
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: skyping in. Um. Yeah, recording in the studio. As much

775
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: as I miss it, is not realistic any time in

776
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: the near future. You know, you just have a bunch

777
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: of people in a room, a room like a room

778
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: without any sort of like window, like there's no fresh air,

779
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: it's just sound. There's a windows not open. But yeah,

780
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: but man, I miss it. Yeah, I do miss it.

00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: the snacks. I missed the snacks. I miss seeing people.

783
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm really regretful that we never got to drink the

784
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: coffee mate that we had put up on top of

800
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,000

00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: they have a you have a farm, and they needed help,

805
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: uh slaughtering and processing a sheep, and I had not

806
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: gotten to do that. I helped my uncle process deer

807
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, but I hadn't gotten to

808
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: do help with that, and it was really uh enlightening

809
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: and valuable process I find. I found. I'm happy for you.

810
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: I'm not happy for the animal. But I'm happy for you.

811
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: It lived a good life. I don't know. I don't

812
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: know if I have questions for you. Guys. We talk

813
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: all the time, Yeah, we do talk constantly. What do

814
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: you what do you? What do you? What do you

815
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: all think about horses? They seem like nice animals? What

816
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: we do with the horses or what we should do

817
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: with the horses. I was more questioning about, like, yeah,

818
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: whether or not, like how we should how we should

819
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: defend against the horse menace. I'm more focused on the

820
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: coming boar menace. I was going to say we could

821
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: use the boars to We will not be We will

822
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: not be partnering with the boars. Absolutely not. The enemy

823
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: of my enemy is not my friend. Here, I'm not

824
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm non suggesting, Look, Cody, I am not. I am,

825
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: under no circumstances suggesting that we joined forces with the boars.

826
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: What I am saying is perhaps the boars will take

827
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: care of the horses and we can keep our hands

828
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: free that more powerful. But Lincoln hog je stuff. All right,

829
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: We're not doing that, all right, Okay, offensive, That's exactly right.

830
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: We need an offensive against both the boars and the horses.

831
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: This is what we should be dedicating our societal energy

832
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: towards but the boars don't respond like they can't be

833
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: respond to violence. They do respond to violence, but they

834
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: respond to violence. If we let them grow in order

835
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,439
Speaker 1: to take care of the horses, then we will become powerless. Again.

836
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: I didn't say let them grow. I didn't say we

837
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: need is a two front war, okay, against the horses

838
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: and the boars. What we needed, what we need is

839
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: more wars. So there are a lot of questions about

840
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: your guys pets, specifically Katie. People are asking how your

841
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 1: boys doing. How's Benny doing? People are asking about Benny.

842
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: Benny's doing much much better. I guess we're done talking

843
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: about boares, but like those topics, so we're gonna move on.

844
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I officially said it on this show. Benny,

845
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: after much, much expense and heartache, endures has ib D,

846
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: which means he cannot eat regular meat. So he has

847
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: to have this special hydrolyzed food that is broken down

848
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: and that he can digest. And he is my son,

849
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: he is We are very similar um. And it took

850
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: a while for him to decide he wanted to start

851
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: eating that food. And I'm not going to share how

852
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: I made him eat because I think it's embarrassing. Uh,

853
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: it does involve a pet psychic. But but he's eating,

854
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: he's eating. I'm not going to question the methods he's getting.

855
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: His little belly is sturdy, and I'm i gotta say,

856
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: I love to see it. But that's my pet. That's

857
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: my Denny boy. Um, Robert, your your your cat. People

858
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: have many questions. I've seen many questions. I don't know

859
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: what to say. We'll have about my cat. He's a

860
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: good cat. He's a great cat. She does all the

861
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: things that cats are supposed to do, does a fun

862
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: little tongue tongue constantly. She likes to she likes to suckle.

863
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: She was we got her. We got her from a

864
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: trailer um when she was a baby, and she smelled

865
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: like cigarettes and was covered in fleas and we got

866
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: her and she was only like three or four weeks

867
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: old when we got her, which is much too young.

868
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to separated kitten from their mom. It

869
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: was not our choice to do that. It was just

870
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: some random on Craigslist giving away a kitten, and we

871
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: realized later, oh, this kitten should not have been separated

872
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 1: it's from its mother, um, and so she never got weaned,

873
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: and so anytime she gets relaxed, she starts suckling, um,

874
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: which is very cute an oddly soothing. And she's also

875
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: obsessed with water, so she likes it when I turn

876
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,439
Speaker 1: on the faucet a little bit and she'll sit next

877
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: to the faucet and she'll stick her tongue out and

878
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: wiggle it up and down for hours. Um. And it's yeah,

879
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: she's a She's a wonderful cat. Roberts like, what about

911
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: little creeped out and delighted by ocean creatures, you know,

912
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,080

918
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: of people in. And he's not even wearing scuba gear,

919
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: so he just holds his breath for long periods of

920
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: times and then goes back up to the surface. But

921
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,480
