1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: last stravaganza. Uh. Yeah, So, without further ado, here is

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really, so, there is a rumor out

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: that there will be one more Tiger King episode to

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: really close the loop. Uh do we know anything about

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: what what this episode is going to focus on? Not really.

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like Jeff Low, the dude who looks like

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: short David Morse. Uh, he like in a cameo video,

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: like revealed that there was something coming up. Netflix has

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: neither confirmed nor denied, but it seems possible. And it's

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: weird because like a lot of this information like broke

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: on justin Turn Earner's wife's podcast Just in Turn to

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: a place where the Dodgers his wife as a podcast.

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, like the chain is a story at

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: all anymore. It's like, but all the like a deadline.

18
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: Everyone's been talking about it because of this, and I

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of it has to do with the

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: fact that Netflix didn't and it wasn't unequivocal and being like, no,

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: that's that's a fucking joke or a lie. But I

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I don't I don't know what

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: it's you could scratch at this point with another episode

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: of this, Yeah, we certainly don't need another one. I

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: didn't follow it to the end, so I don't know

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: what happens. But I feel like, um, I don't know.

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: I feel like people have almost already forgotten about it.

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: We're already at that point, so they got a hurry

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: up if they want to get in there. Yeah, I mean,

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: I think this could be an example of what we

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: were talking about, where after you watch a movie, if

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: you want to like find more information on it, like

33
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: you have to create more information on it. And so

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: because the world is starved for more information on Tiger King,

35
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: they're like, there's gonna be another episode. And jeff Lo

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: sure enough, like the guy who is the in a

37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: in a show that is about just unbelievably like dishonest,

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: just shady characters, is the most shady, dishonest character of

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: them all, and he's our source for this piece of information.

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: We're all like, yep, I don't know, I don't know.

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: Take take everything out of jeff Low's mouth with a

42
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: grain of salt. But yeah, that's right for me. I'm like,

43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: even if I'm not overly invested in anything, the only

44
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: thing I'm interested about Tiger King is if if David

45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Spade will play him Joe. Yeah, take everything out of

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Love's mouth with a grain of salt, but take

47
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: what is on top of his head as a fashion instruction.

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys want to talk about

49
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm rocking a bandana with baseball cap luck,

50
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, with trucker hat. But that is my

51
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: new look. That that gold cross dangle earring that you

52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: have is also fucking fucking dope. Alright, let's talk about

53
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: high school students. I saw some riding around my neighborhood

54
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: on bird scooters the other day, Yes, on Sundays. Just

55
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about I saw a couple of them. Some

56
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: I seen them, Uh no, but you know, they know

57
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: that they're not supposed to be hanging out together, but

58
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: they're probably Like I feel like I can forgive teenagers

59
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: more than any other type of person for breaking the

60
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: social guidances that we've been given. Yeah, I recommend it.

61
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Any an under twenty one, you gotta pass you don't

62
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: have a fully formed brain. We are sorry for you.

63
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's why you're a moron who's like, hey,

64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: if I get Corona, dude, I get Corona. It's like

65
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: the universe begins and ends with me. I cannot conceive

66
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: of my actions affecting anybody else. I am a teenager,

67
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: and I know everything already. So actually doesn't matter what

68
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: an expert says, because I already knew that. So teenager

69
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: is he like some kind of big situation happened with him? Yeah? Exactly.

70
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: That actually all lines up. Yeah, who was so toxic

71
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: because they never could admit they were wrong whenever happened

72
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: to him like he's president, oh my god, and made

73
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: a wish on Coney Island to that Zultar mission. The So, like,

74
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: there's this article Wired where, um, one of the editors

75
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: there was just sort of like talking to their own

76
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: high school student kid and also like got them thinking

77
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: about speaking to other ones. And there's been a lot

78
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: of write ups about this just because in general, like

79
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: especially for high school seniors right now, this is the

80
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: weirdest fucking event ever. You're this is typically the fucking

81
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: home stretch. Senioritis is about to fully envelop your brain

82
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: where you do funk all because you've either you know,

83
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: you know we're probably going to college, you got the prom,

84
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: you got the whatever, and now none of that ship

85
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: is happening. And like so there's a very select group

86
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: of kids, I think, who are mourning that very specific experience,

87
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: and then and then everyone else in between who sort

88
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: of like lost the structure of academia, where like academia

89
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: gives you the fuel to need your friends to like

90
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: make your friend group even more, like to to improve

91
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: it and strengthen it because you have this like shared

92
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: struggle of going through school together. And also like just psychologically,

93
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: like they have amplified, as a psychologist saying, amplified innate

94
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: developmental motivations that make them hard to isolate at home.

95
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: The hormonal changes that come with puberty conspire with adolescent

96
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: social dynamics to make them highly attuned to social status

97
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: and peer groups. So like their food is gone in

98
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: a way, like their social food. Yeah. Yeah, I saw

99
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: Andrew tuh who's been a former guest on our our podcast,

100
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: talking about like watching two teens sneak out and like

101
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: have a secret meeting at night. Oh yeah, that tweet yeah,

102
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: when it's like I'm simultaneously like the bad guy and

103
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: the hero. Yeah, like I'm the hero of a zombie

104
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: movie and the villain in a teen romance, Like, yeah,

105
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what it would be like to be

106
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 1: a teenager right now, because at first I really thought

107
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: when this the outbreak was first happening, I was like, damn,

108
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: they're closing schools. I'm like I would I probably would

109
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: have loved that as a teenager, obviously before fully understanding

110
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: of what like the the human death toll would be,

111
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: but like very myopically being like, oh, that would be

112
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool if like you didn't have to go to

113
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: school forever, and then realizing wait, that's from my perspective now,

114
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: from what I thought I wanted then, and then I

115
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: sort of realized my generational bubble too. I was just

116
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: being like, oh, yeah, dude, I don't know what the

117
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: fuck this is like for teens, and I'm sure many

118
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: listeners to have there are a lot of listeners who

119
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: have younger kids or teenage kids who are like, yeah,

120
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: this is happening all the time. Yeah. Yeah, I was

121
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna say, I don't know what Andrew did at the

122
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: end of that tweet if he uh talked to them.

123
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: I called the cops on those kids who were driving

124
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: around the bird scooters and just let let the cops

125
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: know that. You know, oh my god, the cops. The

126
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: cops are the most annoying thing right now. The cops

127
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: are just like circling around Like I was. I was

128
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: trying to go to pick up like some people, some

129
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: very nice people on Twitter, it left out some stuff

130
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: for me. Somebody left out some beans for me, somebody

131
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: left out some thermometers for me. So I was like

132
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: going to make these pickups. And I was like driving

133
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: through Silver Lake and like there were these there was

134
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: stuck behind a cop car that was going like five

135
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: miles an hour, and like I was just I had

136
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: nowhere to go, Like I could only just like tail

137
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: tailgate them basically, and just like what are they doing.

138
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: They're just like trying to enrage me right now because

139
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: they have like nothing else to do. Because for the

140
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: most part right now, at least, you know, everybody's at home.

141
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: There's not chaos in the streets or anything. Right. Yeah,

142
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: It's just important that these teens see them, you know,

143
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the teens see them and know they're out there paying attention.

144
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: That's what all it takes is one of these jerks

145
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: to hurt themselves in my driveway. Yeah, and I can

146
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: lose my house. Oh my god. See why is this

147
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: making us all senior citizens so much earlier than it's

148
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: really sad? Um, they're all jerks, these kids. Yeah, alright,

149
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: well teens, we we feel for you hanging there. You know,

150
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: you use each other, use any resources you can for

151
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, mental health purposes, because and you know, if

152
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: you're if you don't want to talk to your parents

153
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: about it, just let them know that you need somebody

154
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: to talk to them. I'm sure they'll find a way

155
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: to or hopefully they'll find a way to get you

156
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: some some resource. Because yeah, this this sucks, and it's

157
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: totally understandable that this would be incredibly difficult for you

158
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: guys to deal with. But don't go out and kiss

159
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: your girlfriend or boyfriend and then bring back COVID to

160
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: your family. Don't do that. And if you have any friends,

161
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: because we all have friends who live with grandparents, think

162
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: about them because they have to go home to a

163
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: family or people in the home who are at risk.

164
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. It's like, yeah, please be safe. Also, okay,

165
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: teens that listen to the Daily Seitgeist. Yeah, but but okay,

166
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna extend this though to the adults that

167
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: listen to the Daily Seitgeist, because I am very aware

168
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: of many people who are still seeing their significant others,

169
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: their non living significant others, through all this, and I

170
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: would just like to say, right now, cut that ship out.

171
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Do not do it. It's not cool. I just read

172
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: some like what the like cut sex diary about the

173
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: girl whose like roommate kept inviting guys over like most

174
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: different guys. And this is a New York City too.

175
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: It's just like stop, like everybody, just like you don't

176
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: have the excuse anymore of being a teenager. And also,

177
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: if you have a roommate, you're putting that person in danger.

178
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: Don't be a fucking idiot right now. I was curious, like,

179
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, if people have like sex addictions, what that

180
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, like how there's really you can't exercise any caution,

181
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: especially if you're like your brain is running on like

182
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: I need to be with intimate immediately. The thing that

183
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: I've seen just with your comment about like, uh, significant others,

184
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: do you know people who are like have been together

185
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: for years but have separate places and are like isolating

186
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: away from each other even though they see I know

187
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: a few couples are I'm like, how are y'all not

188
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: living together already? And even through this are like half

189
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: quarantining in your own places, but you're in a yeah anyway.

190
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's a little goss from me. I have

191
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: close friends who are doing this that I've just said

192
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: everything I can and it's just like, okay, well like,

193
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: but we're not seeing anybody else. It's only it's like,

194
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: I I know she hasn't been anywhere. I'm just like,

195
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: you don't know that. You don't know if you're not

196
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: seeing if you're not a living with her, you don't

197
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: know what she's doing like that Rhona drama. Yeah, yeah,

198
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: where you've been sucking around? You got me sick. Yeah,

199
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: it's gotta be it's gotta be difficult on young people.

200
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: It's got to be difficult on young relationships too, because that's, yeah,

201
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: that's a lot to persevere through. I think of myself

202
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: in high school and the lengths I already went to,

203
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: like meet up with my girlfriend. I can only imagine

204
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: what teenagers now like, the kinds of fucking like tactics,

205
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: like special forces tactics. They're using to like escape their

206
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: homes to like meet up. And teenagers are like built

207
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: to break rules, like if you set a rule down,

208
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: like a teenager is just like, Okay, how can I

209
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: sucrivent this? Like that's the first instinct. It's just um.

210
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: But in this case, yeah, kind of got a not,

211
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of got a not. I think that's a good

212
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: place to leave it. Jared Kushner addressed the nation on Thursday.

213
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: I guess looked like a living ventrilo quist dummy and yeah,

214
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. He it seemed like a book report

215
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: that was not he hadn't really prepared for. The problem

216
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: is he's unfortunately for the for the people of this country,

217
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: he's like the smartest person that Donald Trump knows. So

218
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: it's like a default bad idea that he has, Like

219
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: what's something overly complex because it requires like multiple lines

220
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: of thought. Okay, Jared Kushner solved the Israeli Palestine conflicts,

221
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: Solve the opioid crisis. Now, help us from the fucking

222
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: scourge of COVID nineteen and Okay, just as people know,

223
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: the hospitals are overwhelmed. We're seeing videos from health professionals

224
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: saying we are in desperate need of respirators, ventilators, ppe

225
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: the things that keep us safe as we interact with

226
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: the sick during this entire crisis, and we still haven't

227
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: had any leadership from at the federal level to basically

228
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: do the Defense Production Act and say, you know what,

229
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: fuck it, We're taking over everything. This is what the

230
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: funk needs to get made. Stop asking questions. People are

231
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: dying or you know, a lot of people are clamoring

232
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: for the national the strategic National stockpile to open and

233
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: mab you say, what's the strategic National stockpile? Is that

234
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: that's got to be something good. This is from the website.

235
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: When state, local, tribal, and territorial territorial responders request federal

236
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: assistance to support their response efforts, the stockpile ensures that

237
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: the right medicines and supplies get to those who need

238
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: them most during an emergency. Oh fucking great, that's right, now,

239
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: please help. But wait a fucking minute, because we have

240
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Jared fuck face Kushner running this thing. This is what

241
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: this is what this man's idea, This is what his

242
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: concept of the national stockpilots. I just want you to

243
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: listen to what again, as I just defined what it is,

244
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: it's for the states in need. This is what he

245
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: says at his little presser. And you have instances we're

246
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: in cities, they're running out, but the states still has

247
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: a stockpile. And the notion of the federal stockpile was

248
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: its supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to

249
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: be state stockpiles that they then use. So we're encouraging

250
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the states to make sure that they're assessing the needs,

251
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: they're getting the data from their local, uh local situations,

252
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: and then trying to fill it with the supplies that

253
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: we've given them. The same thing with the masks. So

254
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, here's the thing that's ours, that's our stockpile.

255
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: What does that mean? What is our his hour the

256
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: head of a country that is a collection of states,

257
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: so they can pick favorites. It's ours. So the tax

258
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: are we fucking paid for it with our fucking taxes?

259
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: We're dying. Now give us the fucking things we need. Um.

260
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: And this whole thing is just deeply frustrating because again

261
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: people have said, we've got all these shipments coming in

262
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: from abroad of medical equipment, and people and journalists are asking, hey,

263
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: this is so great, thank you so much for for

264
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: telling us about this. Is this going straight to the

265
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: hospitals and they're saying no, it's going to go into

266
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: the private sector, so then people can buy them from them.

267
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: These aren't just going direct to them. We're gonna muck

268
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: it up even further and let the fucking state government's

269
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: knife fight over fucking masks and ship that are going

270
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: to keep people safe. Um. Yeah, it's really fucking dark,

271
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: especially when you look at the needs and you're seeing

272
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: these nurses and doctors and health practitioners fucking screaming for help,

273
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: saying we are you're fucking killing us, Like you're literally

274
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: killing people out here by not doing anything. Take fucking

275
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: control as the government. The other issue of this whole

276
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: thing is Jared Kushner has brought a team of fucking

277
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: assholes with him to completely metal in the response from

278
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: FEMA and other organizations. Uh. And this is a quote

279
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: from Politico just so you can hear how people are

280
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: describing this influx of the Kushner crew. The culture clash

281
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: between public and private sectors has been jarring the senior

282
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: official described the Kushner team as a quote frat party

283
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: quote end quote that descended from a UFO and invaded

284
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: the federal government. To government officials, the outsiders demonstrated a

285
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: lacks attitude to policy discussions, at one point using the

286
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: website free conference called dot com to arrange high level meetings.

287
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Others have used personal email accounts in delicate policy exchanges.

288
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Like I feel like people people who are in in

289
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: the private sector, Uh, we were, we were raised on

290
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: this idea that like privatization is like good in the

291
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: eighties and like that the market economy is good because

292
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: it was like in opposition to uh, you know, communism

293
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: and people. I feel like we're learning people who are

294
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: in public life are actually more competent because their mission

295
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: driven and like driven by getting things done, as opposed

296
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: to this like profit motive which just fux everything up

297
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: and it like brings in this uh, the ability for

298
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: people to just be super corrupt, like Jared Kushner is

299
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: in the position he's in because his parents were rich

300
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: and bought his way into Harvard. That's how that happened.

301
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: That is the private sector. Like just that that ethos

302
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: trickles all the way down. That's what trickles down, not money.

303
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: It's wild, though, two to see even like people on

304
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: right wing Twitter be like no not Jared Kushed's universal

305
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: that people just be like saying, this is the absolute

306
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: worst thing, and we're gonna we're actually killing you know,

307
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: our own people out of sheer ignorance. Sheer ignorance, that's

308
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: really all it is. That's what makes it so fucking

309
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: frightening and dystopian. Have you guys touched on on the show,

310
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: um on how all the different states are in a

311
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: situation where they're outbidding each other for equipment, No, we haven't.

312
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so dire, the lack of ventilators,

313
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: the lack of ppe, like, all of it. And so

314
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: we're in a position where states are battling other states. Um.

315
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: And and these manufacturers are going to the highest bidders,

316
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: and we're also competing with you know, international demand. Um.

317
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: It's it's truly horrific. And and I know that, I

318
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: mean we're talking. I just can't underscore enough how big

319
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: of a problem this is. And like, yeah, people are dying,

320
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: Our healthcare professionals are dying. It's not just that's just

321
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: not like an exaggerated statement of like it could they

322
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: could die. No, they're dying. You're dying. Yeah, they're People

323
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: are contracting the illness and perishing. And again I'm furious

324
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: about it. I'm furious about the whole thing. To be honest,

325
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: you to ask how I'm doing, it's hard. That's what

326
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: sends me into a tail spin the most is when

327
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: my anger flares up. Not that this wouldn't have happened,

328
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: that we wouldn't have had coronavirus or wouldn't have had

329
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: a big problem to deal with, but that we're dealing

330
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: with it like this in the cruelest, cruelest possible way,

331
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: in every step of the way, we fuck it up more.

332
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: It breaks my heart. I feel like the only thing

333
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I can see a benefit to is that it'll be

334
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: mismanaged to a point where maybe some people will understand

335
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: what the actual stakes are for most people here, but

336
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: it's going to bed. Yeah, that's what's anybodies to make

337
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: anything happen is just so, and it can't and that

338
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: and that can't be the fucking way we learn things

339
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: as a country. That's what also makes it so funny.

340
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: I've seen so many memes to where people are talking

341
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: like about how this is truly like the d masking

342
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: of America, where all this ship that they talk of, like, oh,

343
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: you know like us as Americans, would you know, say

344
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: things like oh, you would never see America do something

345
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: like China where they're gonna silence doctors or you know,

346
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: take people who speak truth to power and and censor them. Meanwhile,

347
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: we have doctors and nurses who are being threatened with

348
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: disciplinary action or even firing for saying things like we

349
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: need fucking protective equipment, or even with the captain of

350
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: the USS Teddy Roosevelt, who wrote a letter saying, hey,

351
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: I think I don't want to put four thousand sailors

352
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: lives at risk because I'm on the boat that has

353
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: the worst outbreak in the military. Right now, let's do

354
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: something cut to the government saying yeah, we'll relieve you

355
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: of your duty, and now you know, we true really

356
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: see like every like I mean, I think many people

357
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: have seen it for a while, but I hope to

358
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: other people it becomes clear just the hypocrisy of of

359
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: the way we operate in this country, because it's really

360
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: it's it's nothing to be proud of, and this is

361
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: really shameful. It's always and it's always been this way,

362
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: but just in this escalated situation, I mean the way

363
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: that it had there, It hasn't even been a secret that, like, really,

364
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: anyone in a position of power willing to advocate for

365
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: workers is disciplined or removed in some way. And it's

366
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: like that the Theodore Roosevelt is no exception, the Amazon

367
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: warehouse is no exception. Doctors and nurses willing to advocate

368
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: for themselves and their co workers are no exception. And

369
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: it's like, Yeah, anyone who's getting in the way of

370
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: business as usual or productivity that we're still kind of

371
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: diluted ourselves into thinking, uh is going to be possible

372
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: is just you know, taken out of the equation to

373
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: make things easier for the business. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

374
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: And so I saw somebody tweet that, you know, some

375
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: of there needs to be a nine eleven commission on

376
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the coronavirus response. Yes, I think that's what Adam Schiff

377
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: is doing. Actually, that's what Adam Schiff is doing. Yeah.

378
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: I think he's trying to put together sort of the

379
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: language to have like a truth commission, even if they

380
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: don't like draw the right conclusions. And you know, in

381
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: the JFK assassination aftermath, there was the government report that

382
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: like didn't do a very good job of drawing conclusions,

383
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: but it at least like gave us a bunch of

384
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: ships that we could then comb through and like draw

385
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: our own conclusions from. And that that needs to happen

386
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: pretty urgently, I think. So, I I don't know where

387
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: our death toll is right now, five thousand or something

388
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: like that, but just two days ago we have him

389
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: standing up there saying the best case scenario to get

390
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: it keep it between one deaths, and um, it's hard

391
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: to wrap my mind and around that. It's hard to

392
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: wrap my mind around just how bad it's going to

393
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: get over the next several weeks, you know, if it

394
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: gets to that point. But yeah, and sadly, there are

395
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: other people who are saying, like that it's overly optimistic

396
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: to even think that would be the number, based on

397
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: how poor the response has been. And you know, the

398
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: there's other reports that some of the testing only has

399
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: like is only like sixties six percent accurate, Like it's

400
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: fucking it's yeah, we're living in a horror movie. Yeah, alright, guys,

401
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: let's take one more break and we'll be back with

402
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: less depressing news. Morris Denman, and we're back and uh,

403
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: Forbes has released their list of billionaires. Um. The article

404
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: starts off being like, even billionaires get the coronavirus. Overall,

405
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: the richest people on earth are not immune to the

406
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: coronavirus is literally the first sentence of the article. The

407
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: richest in world's billionaires list on the fuck are they?

408
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, fine, way to like docks yourself amid

409
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: like all this fucking anchor towards the one percent, be

410
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: like and here's the aria's list of right. It's it's

411
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: weird because they actually have it on a map where

412
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: they're like, here are the billionaires who live in your city? Um, which, yeah,

413
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's fifty billionaires in the Los Angeles area. Uh,

414
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is close by. Still, I don't think has

415
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: a given a car to Morgan Murphy who stole the

416
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: tweet from right, dude, I try and launch this Forbes

417
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: website to look at this because I get a full

418
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: on interactive list. I think I'm too poor for the

419
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: website to work properly on my computer, Like I'm I'm

420
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: using all kinds of Internet all the time. For whatever reason,

421
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: this fucking page won't open properly, Like Cratches always bragging

422
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: about how you use all kinds of the Internet all this.

423
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, guys, I use all kinds of the Internet.

424
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: They're trying to keep this is just a website that

425
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: it's like a VPN specifically four billionaires to check out

426
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: each other, right right, right, I mean it makes sense,

427
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: like to have or not makes sense, But it's good

428
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: to actually have this because it helps you understand that

429
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: it's not like that there's like only twenty billionaires in

430
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: the world, Like it's an entire whole group, whole crew. Uh.

431
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: And you can kind of begin like you do a

432
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: little research and you're like, oh, this person has so

433
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: much money because they have let me put it in

434
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: these terms, there are three billionaires in hno boom. It's

435
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: so weird because like I talked to somebody about the

436
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: idea of like why it's so crazy to have that

437
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: much money and be sad about losing Because people with

438
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: that much money will like you know, bet on really

439
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: like you know, money markets and things, and they'll be

440
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: willing to lose like a lot at once. But then

441
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, if you're willing to lose a million, couldn't

442
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: you just like you could literally give like just give

443
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: two million dollars to, you know, to this community or something.

444
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: And that's not how they think. And that's when I'm like,

445
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you some people work hard and

446
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: get money, but there's no way you can get to

447
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: that point and have like a good conscious like if

448
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: you're just you know, if you're gambling. Yeah, you get

449
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: there by having no conscience. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's the

450
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: it's the way that they get there that means that

451
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: they will never think of money the way that we do.

452
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: Like I always think of that Trump story where he like,

453
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: they this magazine was like trying to find out who

454
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: was the greediest and stingiest of all the millionaires in

455
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: New York in the eighties, and so they sent them

456
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: increasingly smaller checks, and the only millionaire who cashed everyone

457
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: down to I think cents was Donald Trump. O. God, yeah,

458
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: I do want to just take a quick look at

459
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: I feel like we're in the stream of the news cycle,

460
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 1: so we're all paying attention from one moment to the next,

461
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: and I don't think people in our country, take a

462
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: step back and really appreciate how badly we uh fucked

463
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: the coronavirus response up. We have the highest number of

464
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: coronavirus cases at this point of the top five countries

465
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: by population in the world. We have the lowest population

466
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: density by far. You know, we have more people traveling,

467
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: so that you could you could maybe give that as

468
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: an excuse, but I think that's also I mean, it

469
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: shouldn't be underestimated that the fact that we travel on

470
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: commercial aircraft which don't clean, like they're not cleaned in

471
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: between people coming on and off because uh, you know,

472
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: germs are not a thing that shows up, and uh

473
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's just very symptomatic of a late stage

474
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: American capitalism and uh you know, just the the system

475
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: at work. Uh So, I don't know, it's a it's

476
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: not a it's not an accident. We are where we are,

477
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's a bummer. The answer to like nine

478
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: out of a hundred of these questions as to why

479
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: the response is so bad is capitalism. Why aren't the

480
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: planes cleaned more? Why aren't Why isn't that more? Would

481
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: that cost more money and that means less profit? So

482
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: we won't do that. Oh okay, well, why don't we

483
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: have more hospital capacity built out? Well, that costs more

484
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: money and that means less profits. So we're not going

485
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: to do that. Why are we having Why aren't we

486
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: just moving some of these uh like a protective equipment

487
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: around to the hospitals that needed, rather than setting off

488
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: bidding wars between our own states. Oh that's because that

489
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: will means we'll lose money and that means less profits.

490
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: That's that's that's the explanation of sucking everything, And it's

491
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: it really, it's really fucked up and cruel because we're

492
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: looking at all of the all of this behavior with

493
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: the backdrop of preventable death. Obviously there are people who

494
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: we we can't save every single person. That's just a

495
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: scientific reality. But my god, we could have done a

496
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: lot more, and we can still be doing a lot more.

497
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: It's look at India, look at South Korea, look at

498
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of other countries that have handled this much better.

499
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: America is a particularly now. Again, it's a difficult time,

500
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: I think because it is it's fifty I mean, it

501
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: is essentially fifty fifty independence of the nations or whatever

502
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: operating under the banner of the United States. And then

503
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: when the person that you defer to as the overriding

504
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: leader has no clear messaging or semblance of an idea

505
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: of what they're confronting, then everyone has left their own

506
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: devices and there's no one to defer to or like

507
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: look at like the role of communication here. Again, I

508
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: don't want to sound like a brag, but just it's

509
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: just the stark contrast is like our prime minister is

510
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: giving daily updates that broadcast across all of our media.

511
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: Our president guy, yeah, yeah, he's actually he's rating, he's

512
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: rating the pants off ours. But it's just like the

513
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, across political lines, like the unity that as

514
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: a nation, New Zealand citizens have responded to the idea

515
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: that this is what we need to do to confront

516
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: what's happening, and there's no opportunity for uncertainty. I mean

517
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: there is, you know, to some to some degree, for

518
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: various different fessis of society, but the overall humanity, you know,

519
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: element of it where everyone's like absolutely, you know this

520
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: is you're telling us what to do. It's been laid

521
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: out very clearly. The messages are so clear. I it's

522
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: just so it's so different, it makes it it makes

523
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: it look like it's almost an impossibility in America to

524
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: do the same thing because there is so divided, there

525
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: is no unity behind any core idea, like the defending

526
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: the flames of uncertainty about whether or not this is

527
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: real or like how seriously to take it. I mean,

528
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: it's it's like the conversation is caught six months ago

529
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: at a time when it it just it can't be. Yeah,

530
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: And I think that when when it comes to specifically, Miles,

531
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned the idea of you know, the distribution of

532
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: PPE and all these distribution of medical supplies and aid

533
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: and all other things that that that I think is

534
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: unique to this this administration in addition to a guy

535
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: this stuff you're talking about where there's just no coherent

536
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: strategy being communicated. But um, there's no there's no there's

537
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: no acknowledgement of the humanity of the situation. That's what's

538
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: the fucking problem. But when it comes to just like

539
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: straight up mind boggling, like unprecedented levels of incompetence, I

540
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: think I do think the distribution of of the you know,

541
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: things that are needed, uh for this specific emergency, like

542
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: that this is something we've seen with him from the

543
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: start that he's incapable of viewing, uh, the U. S

544
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: Government like as like you should be able to view

545
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: the US government, and instead he views it as his

546
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: own business to run. And so you know, we we

547
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: saw it early on in his presidency with his inability

548
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: to like view international trade as like a thing where

549
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: rising tides, uh you know, rise all boats. It's it's

550
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: a thing where like it's a zero sum game where

551
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: he has to like get over on his opponent. And

552
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: now we're starting to see that even with the distribution

553
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: of aid, like with the federal government seizing uh you know,

554
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: masks and healthcare equipment from hospitals and from state level

555
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: governments because I don't know, because he feels like he's

556
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: in competition with them, and because like you saw that

557
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: in some of his statements at his daily briefing where

558
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: he is, yeah, he's like viewing it as a US

559
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: versus them thing. He's telling everyone off and not preparing themselves.

560
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: And with the other hand, he's literally taking what little

561
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: supply they have to bolster the argument, and he's otherwise

562
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: making like that's the thing with everything will capitalism, particularly

563
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: the money comes out somewhere and a pandemic, like you know,

564
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: a pandemic that's ripping through the nation. It's one of

565
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: the last places you want to see the money come at. Yeah,

566
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: but even I mean, this isn't even profitable. This is

567
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: just him being too dumb for the moment, Like he's

568
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: just not up to it. Like there's this article where

569
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: in Yahoo about the FED seizing masks from hospitals, and

570
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: the doctors are like, are they stockpiling the stuff or

571
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: they distributing it? We don't know, and are we going

572
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: to ever get any of it? It's just like what

573
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: could possibly be a better use of masks and hospital

574
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: equipment than hospitals that are fighting the coronavirus right now?

575
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: Like what what does he think is that? What does

576
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: he think he's doing. He's gonna like save it for

577
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: a rainy day, Like this is about as rainy as

578
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: they get, man, it'll be. It's literally so he can

579
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: give a priest conference in front of a mountain of masques.

580
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: You can say, look at all the mosques we've got. Yeah, yeah, maybe,

581
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean, not to mention this. The

582
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: pushing of hydroxychloroquine is like this miracle cure and like

583
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: people are still trying to figure out if he has

584
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: a stake in that and who the people who do

585
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: have a stake in that. By the repetition of the

586
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: mere repetition of the term is like helping the stock

587
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: price go up for this ship. It's it's just I mean,

588
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that the malaria treatment, yeah, yeah, exactly.

589
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: And I think there was a you know, there was

590
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: like a woman in Detroit or in Michigan who said

591
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: like it had completely cured her. It was weird like her.

592
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: I hope she actually did get well from using the medication,

593
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: but it was almost written as if Trump needed this

594
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: person to write how hydroxy chloroquine was the miracle drug

595
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: that brought them back from the edge of death, and

596
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: then he had like retweeted the story. Um, and a

597
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: lot of it is just smacks of the profiteering that

598
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: has gone on for centuries um in this country. So

599
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's weird. I think we always have

600
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: these moments where we have to aggressively look America and

601
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: it's fucked up, rotting, evil, fucking face and then be like,

602
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's it's always kind of been there.

603
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: I guess the makeup just needs to be reapplied a

604
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: little bit um, But I'm like, it's really starting to

605
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: be grading, especially when you look at how we're willing

606
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: to turn our backs and even do harm to our allies,

607
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: be petulant with Cuba, basically commit like medical terrorism against Iran.

608
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: Like it's just all fucking it's there's not a I

609
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: can't I don't know. I'm just don't worry. Don't worry

610
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: too much, Miles. When the Great Joe Biden steps into office,

611
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: everything will be fine. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think, yeah.

612
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: The only hope we have now is that he picks

613
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: a VP candidate that can get progressives at least halfheartedly

614
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: enthusiastic about dragging their bodies and risking death amidst a

615
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: pandemic to vote. The movie Contagion has had a resurgence,

616
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: obviously in the because it predicts a lot of this ship.

617
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: But there's a there's a character who's like a combination

618
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: aation of Matt Drudge and Alex Jones played by Jude Law,

619
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: who's like pushing this fake treatment that's just an antibiotic

620
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: that uh he claims treats the disease and like cures

621
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: the disease. Uh. And I was like, when I rewatched,

622
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, things have devolved to the point

623
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: that I there will be somebody like that who is

624
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: like pushing a fake cure and making a bunch of

625
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: money off of it. But it's really fucked up that

626
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: it might be our president. It's like that. I mean,

627
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. It's truly, truly unfucking believable. Anyways, one of

628
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: the people who's supposed to be keeping an eye on

629
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: the president as he's you know, in charge of a

630
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: government that's distributing to trillion dollars uh, and he's you know,

631
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 1: just notoriously the most corrupt human being in the history

632
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: of the world. Uh is uh an inspector general that

633
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: has now been just kind of disappeared from from the Yea.

634
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: The whole thing was, you know, part of all these

635
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: stimulus funds. It's like, if we're gonna be giving away

636
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: cash to help businesses that are in you know, nearing

637
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: financial ruin due to the outbreak, you know, like we

638
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: need some kind of oversight. It can't just be turning

639
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: a fire hose and making it rain on Trump supporters

640
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: who owned businesses and then just and then completely forget

641
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: smaller business owners. Um. So there are a few mechanisms

642
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: that were put in place for the bill that was

643
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: passed by Congress. One was to have one that was

644
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: made up by members of Congress UM, which is still there.

645
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: So there is some kind of oversight from Congress members

646
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: of Congress. But there was also um, you know, a

647
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: panel of inspectors general had come together to nominate someone

648
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: to be the sort of inspector general to sort of

649
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: head up this effort. And they had picked this guy,

650
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: Glenn Fine, who is the Pentagon watchdog, and like, great,

651
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: if the other I g s this is the guy,

652
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: Like it sounds good, it'll be somewhat independent. We don't

653
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: have to quite worry cut too. I remember when this happened,

654
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: Trump was like basically into man and he's like, yeah, that,

655
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: we'll see how long that lasts. Well he was honest,

656
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: because Glenn find is no longer UM overseeing this entire operation,

657
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: and now they have the e P, a inspector general

658
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: who will serve as the temporary watchdog for this. So

659
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I don't know, it's it's the same

660
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: thing that happened like this is sort of what happened

661
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: with the occupy movement to a lot of tarp funds

662
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: going out and people like what the fund there's no

663
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: there's no accountability for this money. Like it's real murky.

664
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going on, and people are just

665
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: walking out with bags of cash. Um, it's hopefully not

666
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: going to repeat itself, but it looks like they're doing

667
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: a very good job because, like you said, post nine eleven,

668
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: post two thousand eight recession, it's a great time for

669
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: the sharks to come in and try and run off

670
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: with a bunch of our money. Uh. In another see

671
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: this time again. The wealth redistribution typically happens from goes

672
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: the what tends to go to the top, and that's

673
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: what we're trying to prevent. But we'll see this is

674
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 1: your money. By the way, this is a taxpayer money, right,

675
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: Like that's that's where this money is coming from. And

676
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: so this is directly who whoever gets it. Uh, if

677
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: it's not people who are directly in need, then that

678
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: is them stealing money from you. So it is something

679
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: that you should cut that we should all be paying

680
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: attention to. And I mean historically this is a time

681
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: when America's flaws get kind of hardened into uh, you know,

682
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: how like how the system is run. Uh. In the

683
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: aftermath of World War Two, we had the g I Bill,

684
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: and that was one of the primary ways that the

685
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: US government enforced racism with redlining, uh and not allowing

686
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: uh people of color and specifically African American families to

687
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: partake in some of the housing loans. So it's something that, uh,

688
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: these are specific times that we need to be paying

689
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: extra close attention and uh, you know, we don't necessarily

690
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: have the right federal government in place to to be

691
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: doing that. No, I think you've got the wrong one,

692
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: guys coming with these hot takes that I don't know

693
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: if I don't know if the world is ready for

694
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: the job is closing through my body and I'm ready

695
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,479
Speaker 1: to save up some scolding hot takes on the side

696
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: of it, fees us. Yeah, Kushner's team is seeking, you know,

697
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: relaxed restrictions on their ability to access healthcare information. That

698
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: is the President's son in law, his being put in

699
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: charge of a lot of how we are dealing with

700
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: this crisis. Somebody who bought his way into Harvard Parents

701
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: bought his way into Harvard. I'm sorry, I'm my bad.

702
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: To be fair, he did leverage that opportunity into the

703
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: White House, so big props to my man, Jake Cush, Right,

704
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: that's true from humble beginnings, my man straight to the

705
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: top did it man uh And and he also leveraged

706
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: it into what is what experts think is one of

707
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: the worst real estate deals in the history of Manhattan

708
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: real estate, but one that he had to get bailed

709
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: out of by by his who It would have gone

710
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: down in history and completely ruined him were it not

711
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: for the enormous stroke of luck that his father in

712
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: law happened to be elected president. My man, he was

713
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: in a position to make a mistake on that scale

714
00:42:53,560 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: to literally skate through unscathed, USh untouchable touch of it. Yeah,

715
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: what's a Vanka up too? I feel like we're not

716
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: here much like I saw Instagram post that somebody retweeted

717
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: where she's like making pillow for it's with her kids

718
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: and ship and just being being mom. Yeah. I think

719
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: she's been doing like video chats. There's some ship I

720
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I heard something Trump said that she created

721
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: ten percent of the jobs in America. So yeah, totally,

722
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: definitely um, I noticed that the movie The Hunt, there's

723
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: a character who in there in the trailer they made

724
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: them look like Ivanka. And then uh the dough Boys

725
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: had reviewed the new Vin Diesel movie Bloodshot, and they

726
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: said that it seemed as though his love interest was

727
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: specifically made to look like Ivanka. Uh so I think

728
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: that there's like some there's probably probably some unconscious fascination

729
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: with Ivanka Trump that is like happening in America. That

730
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see where that goes. Again, just

731
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: truly well deserved and super producer around hosny. I just

732
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: shared a tweet from Avonka wherein she said We'll never

733
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: stop fighting for america small business owners. Uh so, yes,

734
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: we can shout out to her. Oh nice? I mean

735
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: she did say I think in one of those videos

736
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: that she's rereading the Odyssey, so great she will learn

737
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: the tale of Odysseus. H And also, dude dudes taking

738
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: some guitar lessons. Man trying to start doing some finger picking.

739
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: She if you created ten pin of American jobs, Miles,

740
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: then maybe I wouldn't begrudge you a couple of guitar

741
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: listeners as well. Take a playoff. Yeah, I mean Jack,

749
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: just that sentiment is already so offensive that you could

00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: even say that, like you're a working like I'm fucking

752
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 1: let's take one more quick break and we'll be right back.

753
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: And we're back. And a story that just broke yesterday

754
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: about Chris Johnson, who's one of the best running backs

755
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: of the past twenty years in the NFL. UH was

756
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: was using some of his earnings to fund a drug

757
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: operation back where he was from in Orlando, UH and

758
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: was targeted from murder back in I think to the fourteen,

759
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: like you know, years ago. Uh And he was shot

760
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: in the in the attempted murder and his friend was killed.

761
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 1: And so the two guys who he he did not

762
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: cooperate at the time with police and then the two

763
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: guys who were believed to be the shooters in that

764
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: case were murdered over the following two years. So um,

765
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: the he's just been not charged but accused, and I

766
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: think is wanted in connection with those two murders and

767
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: with paying a hitman to kill the two guys. Uh,

768
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I suspect that this is like

769
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, then people using their NFL earnings to

770
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: invest in, you know, illegal drug operations or you know,

771
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: because NFL contracts aren't guaranteed, so it's less uh less

772
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: secure than it should be. Uh. And also they can

773
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: be injured and have their career ended like any game,

774
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: any given Sunday, to quote the title, anytime, anytime they

775
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: go out there, any given Sunday, Like every once in

776
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: a while, a player will get pulled over with three

777
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: hundred pounds of pot, and you're like, there's gotta be

778
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 1: more to that story than like, well, I think it's

779
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: like anything, right, partying, really hard, whatever you're used to doing.

780
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 1: As you get more wealthy, chances are you will continue

781
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: to do whatever whatever your bad habits are, maybe just

782
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: at a higher level because you have more money to

783
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: now to do increase to invest in your bad habits.

784
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: I think that's what people assume, because like, yeah, I've

785
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: never meditated on those stories very long, but when they

786
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: come across my brain, I'm always just like, that's silly.

787
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: That's a lot of weed to have purchased. Ha ha, Wow,

788
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: he must be so rich that he just doesn't give

789
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: a funk and has a lot of weed or was

790
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: going to a party. And what Jack points out is no,

791
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: it's way more realistic that he was getting into dealing

792
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: or was a dealer. Like I'm like, oh, yeah, that

793
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: probably explains that those stories. I wanted to ask real

794
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: quick though, as like a sports uh sports NamUs or something. Jack,

795
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: is that different than other You said, NFL contracts aren't guaranteed,

796
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: and they can their careers can end with any injury.

797
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: Isn't that true of all athletics? Or no, No, NBA

798
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: is guaranteed contract You can sign a seventy million, five

799
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: year deal and then you know, break your leg on

800
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: the next one and just not yeah in the next

801
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: game and get still get paid yourself. I have a

802
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 1: new childhood dream a little to work really hard, sign

803
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: the contract, break my leg, I'm out. Yeah, I mean

804
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, there there should be incentives built in, but

805
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: football players in particular don't have have a great situation there,

806
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, basically sacrificing their bodies for America's entertainment and

807
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: end up a lot of times specifically their head more

808
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: than any other sport. So yeah, yeah, yeah, their brains

809
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: their ability to you know, exist as function. That could

810
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: be another reason why the risk taking is probably more

811
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: could be more prevalent too, because you're like, bro, I

812
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: don't know, like there's already a time exact body the

813
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: second I enter the league, and like, no, I think

814
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think the average fan looks at these

815
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: stories and it's like, that's so stupid. Why can't you

816
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 1: just be happy with your huge paycheck? But it seems

817
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: to happen over and over again. There's got to be

818
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: something systemic going wrong, you know, like that these people

819
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: feel like they have to invest uh their money in

820
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: something that's illegal and that you know, puts their life

821
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: in danger. I guess that's basically the same as playing

822
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: football year getting your money from something that puts real

823
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: life in danger. Um. But anyways, Chris Johnson was a

824
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: really great player, and you know, we will obviously be

825
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: following that story, but it's really sad. So we we

826
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: mentioned on yesterday's Trending episode that we're looking for a

827
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: movie to club, basically a rewatch movie or TV show

828
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: or TV episode maybe Yeah, so vultures doing it. They're

829
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 1: watching Parasite tonight and then they're gonna kind of write

830
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: about it and you know, interact with their fans. I'm

831
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: just wanting, should that be the movie we club? Should we?

832
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: Is that the one with Jared let out? Because Jared

833
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: Leto was doing a Parasite screening, No ship, no, he

834
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: just so parasite. Har's I just became available for spraying

835
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: well just because of the So there's tons of screenings

836
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: and I'm just clued into him. So I will throw

837
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: out Tai t t as of today this recording said

838
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: he's going to be doing Marvel's or Ragnarok with him

839
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: doing commentary. That's coming up. And uh, I work for

840
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: I g N now as you know, and we have

841
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: watched from home theater every Wednesday afternoon and they be

842
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: getting really good people, like they got Leewan Al for

843
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: Invisible Man, and then they got Greg Nikotaro for a

844
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: Night of Living Dad. We just did bad Boys. I

845
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: think they're talking to the voice of Goofy from the

846
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: Goofy movie, to do with the Goofy movie potentially, No, no,

847
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 1: no no, it'll be going and going and going. Um. So, yeah,

848
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: if you're like not aware that a bunch of famous

849
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: people are watching movies and talking about them and you

850
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: can just go to Twitter, YouTube or whatever, that's it's cool.

851
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: It's hapening a lot right now. I'm thinking more like

852
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: finding the right movie that is like in the Zeitgeist,

853
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: that we could spend a whole movie talking about and

854
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: tie in some of the movies from the Zeitgeist. And

855
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: I asked for recommendation. Zeke Gang hit me up with

856
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: some recommendations. But I think Parasites a good recommendation or

857
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: a good candidate. I think Jaws is a good candidate.

858
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, I only say let's just

859
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: not do what Vulture does because you're who knows how

860
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: the similar ours is going to look to there it's

861
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: just for some inside baseball. Yeah, maybe what we should

862
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: do is have a Twitter poll with a few options

863
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: and see, you know something, Let let the let the

864
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: Zeke Gang decide. So now I'm realizing you meant for

865
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: you guys to stream and I'm sorry, I completely like

866
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: d promode your thing. No, I was like, no, no, guys,

867
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 1: but that definitely something that check out was like real

868
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: famous people are doing this too. I don't know if

869
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: you know you could just google it. Yes, Spielberg's streaming,

870
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: but I just want, like, I think it would be

871
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: fun to do maybe one episode a week where that's

872
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: kind of a rewatch about something that are our listeners

873
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: can check out with us and then I don't know,

874
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: that's something I've been enjoying with some of some of

875
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: the podcasts, So maybe it should be something that we

876
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: can find on YouTube so there's no there's no barrier

877
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: to entry. Yeah, it should be something that like you

878
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: can stream somewhere, like Jaws was on my list, but

879
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: then Jaws is not really streamable anywhere you have to

880
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: like pay. Isn't this CBS Sunday Night movie coming back?

881
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: Is it really? Yeah? I think it's like coming back

882
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: with like Raiders of the Lost art they're doing like

883
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: they're bringing that whole format back. Oh that's fucking dope. Yeah, Raiders.

884
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: I think Raiders might be on Netflix a Raider Nation.

885
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: I just saw Raiders. Uh, pop up somewhere on a

886
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: screening on one of the screaming platforms, which one to

887
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: Arcus Russell, JaMarcus Russell and uh, I can't pull anyone.

888
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: Parrisite would be good. I would love to see you

889
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: guys tackle Brazil. I feel like with your your vibes

890
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: in this show. Yeah, I think Brazil would be good.

891
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: Or if you're not gonna do Cheaper by the Dozen

892
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: to snow Piercer Brazil about We're going to be a

893
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: Cheaper by the dozen at some point, but um yes, no, Piercer.

894
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: They have a TV show version coming out right cool? Yeah,

895
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: it feels like it's a really good movie that could

896
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: be a great video game and a great TV show. Yeah. Anyways,

897
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: should we talk about quarantine activities? Miles, you had a

898
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: new one recommend just getting in touch with I wrote

899
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: eating like your ancestors. But I'm just thinking, you know

900
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people descend from immigrants or have connections

901
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: to other countries trees. Uh, and based on you know,

902
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: the evolution of our consumer culture probably came from humble beginnings.

903
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: Where are you know? Grandparents weren't exactly postmate sing fucking

904
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: Mommy Burger. So I started like cooking a lot more

905
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 1: like Japanese food that like my grandmother would make back

906
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: like way back when she was younger, and I realized, like, a,

907
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: this food is usually very cheap to make, uh and

908
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: really good, and it's like it's stores well typically and

909
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: you can like the slow nature of making it like

910
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: really allows you to sort of have patients while you

911
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: cook it and just kind of renewed interests sort of

912
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: in any culture or whatever. But I think, like, you know,

913
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot of us come from backgrounds, whether it's a

914
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: lot of cabbage being eaten, or potatoes or mushrooms whatever,

915
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: just you know, whatever it is. But I have a

916
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: feeling looking back at your own you know, traditional food

917
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: has been a nice we get a Jack's Irish. If

918
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: you didn't put in terms of cabbage, I wouldn't have baby,

919
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: as they called me. We should sell this as the

920
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: twenty three and me diet, and uh, you know, imagine

921
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: a service where you do the three and me thing

922
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: and then it auto enrolls you in like an ingredients

923
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: box where you get to know your ancestral roots through cuisine.

924
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: That's cool that guilts you for cultural erasure, doesn't twenty

925
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: three and me also like tell you that you're like

926
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: caffeine and sensitive or whatever. I think you can like

927
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: take that box if you want a lot of those

928
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 1: d nhs. Like, hey, you also want to get fucking

929
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: freaked out by some medical ship. We can tell you

930
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: right you have a heart unspecified heart problem. We'll tell

931
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: you more bed more. As of right now, we'll just

932
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: tell you. I've just been watching old sporting events and

933
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: it's it's like methodone, but I still enjoy it. I

934
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: actually really like watching old basketball games with people I

935
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: care at, like Lebron James Game six Spurs heat, uh,

936
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: that which is a great game. Also, like weirdly revealed

937
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: to me that Lebron James has gotten better since he

938
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: was like in the prime of his career. He's like

939
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: now better. You can just like see it that he is,

940
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: like the game just comes naturally. He's like so many

941
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: things like not diminish. Have you been watching Jack any

942
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: of the uh? Or you're aware a lot of pro

943
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: athletes are continuing the seasons through video games? Do you

944
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: hear about? Okay? Yeah, Like they did a bunch of

945
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: NASCAR drivers did a racing game with the full on

946
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: announcers and like an edited pre and post show and

947
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: everything was really fun. Yeah, that's funny. Oh yeah. They've

948
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: been playing a lot of two K in the NBA,

949
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: and I know, like the in Europe, they're trying to

950
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: get more people to play like fi fun stuff. I

951
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: feel like honestly, like I guess that's the next thing

952
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: is like all right, well I guess virtually yeah, and

953
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: they like throw some graphics package on it and they

954
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: pretend like it's a real sport. It's fun. Yeah. I

955
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 1: can't imagine how addictive it would be to be an

956
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: active NBA player because they all play NBA two kids, like,

957
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: they all play those games and like against each other,

958
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: like you are making your own players like yourself in

959
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: the game. I wonder if if there's anyone with a

960
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: huge swing, like a terrible player who dominates it u

961
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: K or a great player who's like I don't understand

962
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: why I can't do this, like the worst it's just

963
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: constantly losing money at it. Kevin Durant was playing and

964
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: there are people being like critical of how he was.

965
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: This is a different skill. It's a fucking video game, dude, Like,

966
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: don't get risked off because like, you know, guess what

967
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: he's actually a fucking gifted player. Yeah, Michael, do you

968
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: have any core X quarantine X? Absolutely? I mean I

969
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: don't know how genuine it is to recommend, because you

970
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: have to be in a unique set of circumstances, which

971
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: I am. But because I work at i g N

972
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: now I got access to a home VR headset, which

973
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: you can buy obviously, but they're still pretty pricey. And

974
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: I because I had to ditch a bunch of my

975
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: furniture in the move, I have a big open room

976
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: with nothing in it, so I can do I've been

977
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: playing full motion VR like with the valve index, Like

978
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: I can run around the room with the headset on,

979
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: and you know, there's like a wire frame so you

980
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: won't hit the edge. It knows where you are in

981
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 1: the space, it tracks your fingers, so it's like everything's

982
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: just very organic. And VR is just like blowing my mind.

983
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: It's insane. Half Life Alex is nuts. So where are

984
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: you going with that? Where? What? What? What world are you?

985
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: And well there's this one called Okay, I'll give you

986
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: three examples. Half Life Alex is the big triple A

987
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: game that's finally come to VR that everyone hopes will

988
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: like push it as a thing that normal gamers buy

989
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: for their home, and I think it will. It basically

990
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: crystallizes what you can do in VR, and it showcases

991
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: all the best parts. So that's like your standard answer.

992
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Then I also have been doing a lot of nature

993
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: tricks VR, which is a spot where you literally, uh

994
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: an app where there's just like ten beautifully rendered places.

995
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: My favorite is like Scottish highlands with an old wind

996
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: meal and it's like pouring rain and you control the lighting,

997
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: the weather and the soundscape and then it plays like

998
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: it plays guided meditations and it rules. And then the

999
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: third one is, wait, is it photo realistic or does

1000
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: it look like a really well well rendered video games?

1001
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: So you still I'm still an early adopter in that

1002
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: I can see the potential of like very soon VR

1003
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: will be even better than this, but you know, it's

1004
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: still exciting. And then the last one, I mean, there's

1005
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: a lot of games I enjoy, But the third I'll

1006
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: mention is I highly recommend anyone with a VR headset

1007
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: does this. It's more of an art project than a game.

1008
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: But uh, they made a simulation of what an ayahuasca

1009
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: trip is supposed to be like, and it's like it's

1010
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: like a fifteen minute experience and it blows my mind.

1011
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: And even though it's the same every time because it's

1012
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: not a game, it's just a trip go washes over you.

1013
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: I've done it like eighteen times. It's so awesome. You don't.

1014
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: That's literally like the it's called aahuasca. Yeah, make a

1015
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: little uh your headset, look up ayahuasca super fun. Yeah,

1016
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: don't you shoot your pants with ayahuaska? Yeah. It starts

1017
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: with you sitting down with like real video of a

1018
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 1: Central American shaman dude, and he feeds you the thing

1019
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: and you start to vomit and then a crazy VR

1020
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: trip unfold. That's so cool that this feels like the

1021
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: actual like version of the video and infinite jest if

1022
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: anybody's read that, Like where people the video is so

1023
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: good that people just can't stand up. They just like

1024
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: find you in your chair, like having yourself for like

1025
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,479
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, like not being able to feed

1026
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: yourself because the video is so good. Anyways, that's where

1027
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:30,439
Speaker 1: we're headed. All Right, that's gonna do it for this
