9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Gina Coranaana suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination.

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: She is seeking a court order that would force Lucasfilm

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: to put her back in the Mandalorian that.

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: Is the man. You know. The thing about this too

00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: is Elon Musk is like footing the legal bill too.

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: Oh cool, because.

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: You know he's like Anyboddy who has been like canceled here,

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: like I will represent you in court or whatever. So

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 3: Gina Krano's like, I'm gonna take you up on that,

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: and did this like really long wordy thing talking about

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: like kind of in all kinds of conspiratorial racist shit

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: she'd posted. She was saying, like, the thing is I

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: never use aggressive language. I shared thought provoking quotes, pictures

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: and memes thought provoking provokes the thought that I may

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: be vile.

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: Bro, Sorry, my shit is so thought provoking.

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, dude, just the most base, fucking thought provoking

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: ship posts you've ever fucking seen. Sorry, but again, I'm like,

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: it is a little odd when you're like the damages

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: that I have experience or that have been done to me,

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: and the restitution that I seek is to have a

30
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: court order that will recast me, that Lucas, that will

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: force Lucas from to recast.

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Her care worms, because you know, a lot of casting

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: decisions I feel like would be under appeal immediately if

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: if the court established the president, they could get you

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: a gig, be sued into, uh getting the starring role

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: in a major Hollywood production, Like.

37
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: How do you even? Well whatever, So good good luck

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: to you and just maybe leave us alone.

39
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: That's cool to hear about Elon Musk, though, I wonder

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: how is he, you know, helping out a lot of

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: like underrepresented minorities.

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, Gina Carano, that other white guy, the one

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: racist full yeah, louisk Shane Gillis everybody.

44
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: No immunity is trending because an appeals court has ruled

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: that Trump has no immunity.

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: Ah bull, I'd said that everything I do as president

47
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: has to be protected otherwise than any president can be

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: brought up on charges for committing crimes.

49
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, but anyway, we talk more about that and tomorrow's episode.

50
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: The one thing I will just add to that is if,

51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 3: and that is the biggest if of them all, bigger

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: than Iffy waddy way, is if Scotus did the right

53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: thing and declined to hear an appeal to that, like

54
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: you know Trump's appeal. Uh, we could have we could

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: have a potential spring trial start date in the January

56
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: sixth case.

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: The January sixth case is the jack Smith one, right, the.

58
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: Jack Smith's getting your guess. Yeah, that's the heavier of

59
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: the two, of the other one being the mar A

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: Lago documents tiff. But yeah, that's if that one gets

61
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: an early start date. Who knows. But again, don't put

62
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: your eggs in that basket, because no one's, not even

63
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: a court is going to save us from whatever this

64
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: guy's trying to bring.

65
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: Whatever's coming.

66
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Chris Pratt is trending because you know,

67
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: after enraging the Internet by taking gigs playing Super Mario

68
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: and our Field he is playing the Pringles guy in

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl commercial, or rather he's playing himself but

70
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: with a giant mustache for some reason, which then leads

71
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: to him being cast in a movie about the Pringles guy.

72
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: So it's it's sort of playing up the idea of

73
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: like Chris Pratt gets cast as everyone.

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: All right, which because everyone loves that. Everyone loves that,

75
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: Like it's that's not that's not the kind of attention

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: a lot of these projects are getting. But I just

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: I like the little finer details about this, like ad

78
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 3: about how some eagle eyed people spotted that there's like

79
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: this Julius Pringle's name, like as part of the Lord.

80
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: I had no idea this was like some contested slash

81
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: not real thing that there's no character.

82
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: So at the end, so it starts out, he walks

83
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: into a store, buys a Pringles has a big like uh,

84
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: you know, Archduke Ferdinand mustache, and so I was like,

85
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: oh my god, you look like the Pringles guy. Takes

86
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: a picture of him and then like cut two, like

87
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 1: it goes viral and then there's a billboard that says

88
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt is mister p But you zoom in on

89
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: the movie's credit to the bottom and you can clearly

90
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: see the name Julius Pringles.

91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: Which the man who started Pringles right right.

92
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: So in twenty twenty two, Kellogg's claimed in an official

93
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: document that their mustachio Pringles logo is one of their

94
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: trademark characters like Tony the Tiger, Tucan Sam and called

95
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: either mister p or Julius Pringles. But Julius Springles is

96
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: so somebody looked it up. Julius Springle's not a trademarked character,

97
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: and in fact, Julius Springles is a hoax.

98
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: Two college students.

99
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: Fucked around and added the name to the Pringles Wikipedia

100
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: page in two thousand and six, and it just like

101
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: started showing up in official Pringles promotional materials.

102
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: I love how a company knows their brand so well.

103
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: They're like, what was this saying our Wikipedia? Yeah, j

104
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: JP is Pinki's what the wow? The power of Wikipedia?

105
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is like the when I

106
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: look at that, You're like, I was in college in

107
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 3: two thousand and six, and that was the exact ship

108
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: we would do is alter Wikipedia pages and email each

109
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: other links to be like, dude, I didn't realize that,

110
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: like you were Gavrillo, Prince Ship's brother, and you were

111
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 3: actually an accessory to the assassination of the speak transfort

112
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: it in or saying like people would have the highest

113
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: selling album of all time, like you could get away

114
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: for like hours of that kind of stuff. But credit

115
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: to these two.

116
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah that they did it.

117
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: They did it because Julius Peppers was a famous football

118
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: player at the time, and they just changed Tolias Springles. Yeah,

119
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: North Carolina both basketball and football player. Yeah, yeah, went

120
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: into the NFL, very good player, and they're like Julius Pringles, which, dude, that.

121
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: Is so fucking such a time machine. Julius Pepper's from

122
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: North Carolina. The two sport God.

123
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: The fact that it is pluralized that it's Julius Pringles

124
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: does really make it work for me. There there is

125
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: a tweet exchange where Pringles is like, that's funny, Julius

126
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: did too, and Michael A. Wiseman responds, Uh, you know

127
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: that my friend and I made up the name Julius

128
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: Pringles when we were in college.

129
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Right.

130
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: No no reply yet from Pringles, but it may be

131
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: seen whether the name's inclusion in this commercial is a

132
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: nod to the hoax where if some ad agency intern

133
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: just like was googling went on Wikipedia.

134
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, wow, Now I gotta like, do you think

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: it's still up? Or they're like humiliated that They're like,

136
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: call the fucking guy Wikipedia and get that ship taken down.

137
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: You call our Wikipedia guy.

138
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: Let's see Julius. Does it show up Julius Springles, there's

139
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: a whole section under it still yeah.

140
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: But probably presumably telling the story or no.

141
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: Oh. So the first one is talking about how like

142
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: it is a depiction or mister p designed by Lewis Dixon,

143
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: like the actual history behind it. And then it said

144
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 3: the mascot's name originated with with the Wikipedia hoax editor,

145
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: the then hoax Julius put then hoax Ulius into the

146
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: Pringles articles, which was subsequently picked up by other news outlets.

147
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: And this is how misinformation becomes gospel truth.

148
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: M Julius is a great name, by the way. Orange

149
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Julius Julius, the doctor, irving.

150

00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: I feel like there's like orangs.

154
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: I feel like they're like spotted every once in a while,

155
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: like Bigfoot, you know, yeah, yeah.

156
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: One of the few, like sweet garbage foods. My mom

00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: She was fed.

160
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: She was like, guess what the fucked orange?

Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone.

171
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: From the Copland era. I think I think that's why

00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 2: he was coming on SNL that.

173
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,560

00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: Anyway, interesting that's is it?

209
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: Like I I was watching the local news. Everyone is

210
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: so desperate to somehow like tie everything to Taylor Swift.

211
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: And it's maybe true or not, but they're like, you know,

212
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: Toby Keith was actually instrumental in Taylor Swift having a

213
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: career too, well, like I'm sure we'll hear something from

214
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift. I don't know, just because that was the

215
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: scene she started out in first, you know. Yeah, so

216
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if I don't know what that was,

217
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: but it's just so weird, like as in aside, they

218
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: just put that in like this person news, like I'm

219
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: sure we'll hear from her about that soon, Like Okay,

220
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 3: maybe you will, I don't know, maybe you won't.

221
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: Maybe Toby Keith's name begins with a T, much like

222
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift. More on that at eleven Yeah, and now

223
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: being a part of that same trend. There is a

224
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift story because she had to send a seasoned

225
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: to sists. Two students to a student who's tracking her

226
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: private jet, says she's in a constant state of fear.

227
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: This seems to be pre standard for famous people to send.

228
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: The student who tracks various famous people's private jets season desists.

229
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say, for all the reasons we've

230
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: discussed about her being like the closest thing we've got

231
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 2: to a living religious icon, I feel like she should

232
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: be allowed to not be followed.

233
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: Like I don't know that. I constantly have that thought,

234
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, when someone is that when people.

235
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: Cape for billionaires because you're like, I might be a billionaire,

236
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: and you're like, I mean, you know eventually with my jet,

237
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: I do so.

238
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: Partially it's like I don't.

239
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: I just feel like she is like in many ways

240
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: too culturally central, and like there is like a weird

241
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: spiritual aspect to it that seems to confuse anger and

242
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, just draw a lot of devotion. So partially

243
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: worried about her safety. Partially, yeah, I think I could

244
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: one day be as famous as Taylor Swift.

245
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm not ruling it out. I'm not saying it's definitely

246
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: gonna happen.

247
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: Same thing said with your chest out say I could

248
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: be bigger than Taylor Swift.

249
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: Just watch me one day.

250
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's theoretically possible, and I'm going to

251
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: make Gary. Your mom said I'm getting good as a singer,

252
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: and so I'm just saying that off.

253
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: The now, I have the imagination for something bigger.

254
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: Dude, Oh my god, ever since.

255
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: So I saw Miles's family as we as we talked

256
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: about earlier the week, I got to hang with the

257
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: fam at the Geist child's one day birthday party, and uh,

258
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: Miles's mom complimented my singing so that I, at the

259
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: top of the show am.

260
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: Becoming a better singer.

261
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I took it very graciously in person,

262
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: but at my house with my family, I have become

263
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: such a deep Holy shit.

264
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: Just walking around in gowns and stuff, and You're like,

265
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: I can't be bothered. Right now, I'm warming up my

266
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: vocal cords. Me me, mommy, may Really it's.

267
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: All a vocal warm up for the AKA performance absolute.

268
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what the show recording is, just a

269
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: vocal warm up for the AKA performances. Because one day

270
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: I do plan to be bigger than Taylor Swift. Okay, there,

271
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: I said it, and we mean our Taylor, my privacy

272
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: security needs to be protected.

273
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I just don't know what you're how you

274
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: can have a reasonable expectation of privacy. I mean, obviously

275
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: you can because you're so famous, but like when you're

276
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: also like moving in like not you know, it's a

277
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: fucking jet. It's not like you're like leaving in like

278
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: three different fucking suburbans, like go in different directions, like

279
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: which one is in? It's like there's a jet. But

280
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: I mean this mostly, I think the fear argument is

281
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: being used because it's become a thing that a lot

282
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: of people are like being like can you be a

283
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: little more carbon conscious with the jets and stuff, because,

284
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: like you know, Elon Musk tried to do it, but

285
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: I think failed. That kid is is it the same

286
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: kid who tracks Elon musk'st I have.

287
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: To think it's the same kid.

288
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: But it's all just one kid, you know, these days,

289
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: it's all it's all happening, like because do you remember

290
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: that one There's like this kid in California who is

291
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: like a prolific swater, like the person who was swatting

292
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: a ton of people and a lot of them were

293
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: coming from like this one kid.

294
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so wor it's almost prolific Swater.

295
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: I saw him in the twenty twenty four Guinness Book

296
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: of World Records. All right, Uh and finally, Uh, this

297
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: is a story that we have mentioned in the past,

298
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: but is just getting more and more coverage and now

299
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: is being covered by the Guardian. I think the last

300
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: time we brought it up it was being covered by

301
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: the Intercept.

302
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

303
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, So it's been pretty obvious the whole time

304
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: that CNN's pro Israel coverage is rooted in some kind

305
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: of like explicit corporate dictum. Right like last year when

306
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper referenced the huge civilian loss of life and

307
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: then quickly corrected himself to say loss of life.

308
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, no civilian and not. It was weird the way

309
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: he corrected himself, Like it did feel like that's right.

310
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: We got the email that's supposed to say, don't talk

311
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: about civilians or be very specific when you talk about

312
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 3: who is claiming the number of people that have perished

313
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: in Gaza. It's like according to the Hamas controlled health Ministry,

314
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: which later we've found out that even the Israeli government

315
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: was taking seriously and being like using those numbers in

316
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: their own.

317
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: Israeli military is using those numbers. The Israeli Intelligence Department

318
00:17:53,680 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: is using those numbers. Yeah, so those numbers true. But

319
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: The Guardian has reported that a lot of CNN staffers

320
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: are themselves really pissed at the networks editorial policies, accusing

321
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: them of an institutional bias that amounts to journalistic malpractice.

322
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

323
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: Again, these are CNN employees saying this.

324
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think when we first talked about it,

325
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 3: a lot of it was about this thing that a

326
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: lot of the reporting had to go through the Jerusalem

327
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: Bureau before being reported out in the US, and a

328
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: lot of people point like that they're the new head

329
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: of CNN who came from the BBC also had their

330
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: own history of like sort of you know, accommodating the

331
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: Israeli government when it came to like how things were reported.

332
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: But this is apparently like this has been going on

333
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: for long, Like this is like a quote long standing policy,

334
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: so that essentially where they say, well, we want to

335
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 3: ensure accuracy, that many of the people that work at

336
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: CENA like it basically goes through this process where these

337
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: stories are being quote shaped by journalists who are legally

338
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: obliged to work within the purview of the IDF.

339
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the thing that CNN says about the story

340
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: is going through the idea in one way or another.

341
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 3: Or just or people understand that they're there's clearly a

342
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 3: specific way to speak about this, which is interesting because

343
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: that's a thing that foreign reporters have to sort of

344
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: they sign this document when that's as quote, agreeing to

345
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: abide by the dictates of the censor. But we also

346
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 3: know too that in Israel, like it's their own media

347
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 3: that has probably had the most like like truly like

348
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 3: passionate opposition to what the government is doing. So it's

349
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 3: like interesting how you can like how it's like, well,

350
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 3: if you come here from abroad, you better do it

351
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: this way. And the people that live here, okay, they

352
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: can you know, they have free speech, I guess, or

353
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: can report on it how however they see fit.

354
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, but we're getting worse information than people

355
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: in Israel are getting.

356
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: Right, depending on where you get your news, because I

357
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: think what you hear too there is that the local

358
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: news is only focused on one side of what's happening,

359
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: does not really mention casualty to civilians and yeah, you know,

360
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: like yeah.

361
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: So as we mentioned, just like substantively, some of the

362
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: things that you'll hear on CNN is anytime death toll

363
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: is reported, they would say casualty statistics are coming from

364
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: Hamas controlled Ministry of Health. There's also reporting any bombings

365
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: in Gaza have to be described as quote blasts that

366
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: are attributed to nobody until the Israeli military ways in,

367
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: Like those are direct was blasts, right, attributed to nobody

368
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: until the Israeli military ways in, and then waving through

369
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: any statements by the Israeli government while heavily scrutinizing anything

370
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: released by the Palestinian government.

371
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

372
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then even like you have seasoned journalists who

373
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: have like actually been working on reporting in the region

374
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: for like their whole lot decades, that's what they do professionally.

375
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 3: That like it's freezing those people out to the point

376
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: like they don't even want to engage with the network.

377
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: So morale is pretty low. And again I think this

378
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: is just like anything like apparently the ratings that CNN

379
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: and Fox News have gone up since everything, like since

380
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: the attacks on October seventh, and like MSNBC viewership has

381
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: gone down, which is interesting because I feel like Mehdi Hassan,

382
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 3: who used to be on MSNBC was speaking pretty like,

383
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: you know, objectively about what was happening, and even Ali

384
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: Velshi did and then like that seemed to cause some issues.

385
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean, I think these outlets largely just

386
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: provide like a narrative to people that help the viewers

387
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: feel completely disconnected to like the tragedy that's unfolding, and

388
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 3: certainly like shield their viewers from any notion that their

389
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: own tax dollars or the United States government are like

390
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: the fucking fuel that allows this machine to keep going.

391
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a it's a hard truth to hear.

392
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: It's like a real breaking point, I think for a

393
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: lot of people. And so the counter narrative that CNN

394
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: is providing, like it's more popular and helps people just

395
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: kind of stay cocooned.

396
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: And you know, yeah, I mean that's just how it

397
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: was too. Like even you know, I'm like in high

398
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: school college early college days for me, with the Iraq War,

399
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: it was just so obscure and you're like, look, how

400
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 3: badass these dudes blew this fucking little town up right,

401
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: and like that was it. You were so disconnected from

402
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: the humanity of it all, and you're just yeah, it's

403
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: like they have a playbook for this kind of stuff

404
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: in our Western media.

405
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Iraq War was very very similarly like kind

406
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: of treated the way this one is being treated at

407
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: that time. And then you know, in retrospect now we

408
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: learned that all the people who were pumping the brakes

409
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: and you know, objecting had the fact on their side.

410
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, and well then also too, like the Islamophobia

411
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: that's going, like that Wall Street journal piece that said,

412
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: like dearborn Michigan is like the new like hub of

413
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: like jihad and area. Yeah, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

414
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: All right, well, those are some of the things that

415
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: are trending on this Tuesday, February sixth.

416
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of

417
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: the show.

418
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,

419
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and

420
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: we will talk.

421
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: To you all tomorrow.

422
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: Fight bite
