Speaker 2: that out loud every time I'll go to Seattle, all
Speaker 2: I can think about are the fries at Dick's Drive in.
Speaker 2: I was there for a short work thing and I
Speaker 2: didn't have time to go to Dick's. And then I
Speaker 2: got really upset and I said, SeaTac Airport needs to
Speaker 2: have a Dick drive in in it just so people
Speaker 2: can like respect and appreciate the local flavor. But yeah, great.
Speaker 1: Lax has an in and out like close by, so
Speaker 1: it catches everybody who's like actually staying. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not in the theater or in the uh. In
Speaker 1: the airport.
Speaker 2: I also like try to recreate like the Fairfax Farmers Market, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: the airport too. It's like, you know, I like when
Speaker 2: like airports are like, look, we get it. You probably
Speaker 2: missed out on some of these hits. You can get
Speaker 2: the kind of lesser version right here in the air
Speaker 2: for when I'd be down for that anyway.
Speaker 1: Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third
Speaker 1: seat by a very funny comedian. He was written for
Speaker 1: a good mythical Morning Craig for Doctors Brockmeyer. You can
Speaker 1: hear her on many podcasts across this great land, and
Speaker 1: you can see her at her stand up show bird
Speaker 1: House on July twenty first, in our great city of
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. One of our favorite guests on TDZ, one
Speaker 1: of your favorite guests. Please welcome the brilliant, the talented
Speaker 1: Teresa Lee.
Speaker 3: Come up with an aka because there was a lot
Speaker 3: of news this morning about the strike, and you know
Speaker 3: about my lovehood. So anyways, hello.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. That was good. That sounded like
Speaker 1: it was in the style of like Catholic mass, oh.
Speaker 2: Strike in my lively.
Speaker 3: I've never been to Hatholic mass, but I simply.
Speaker 2: It's so.
Speaker 3: This time of year is beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's truly beautiful to be in a fucking gigantic stone
Speaker 2: building with no ac It's the man.
Speaker 3: I mean, churches are beautiful. It is kind of funny
Speaker 3: that whenever I drive by, like in l A, there's
Speaker 3: like so many churches that are repurposed for apartment buildings.
Speaker 3: Now I also drive over, did I mention there's a strike?
Speaker 3: But yeah, So it's interesting to me because it makes
Speaker 3: me wonder, like what's the next iteration of that? Like
Speaker 3: centuries from now, what's like our comedy club is going
Speaker 3: to be apartments? You know what I mean? Like what
Speaker 3: people gather.
Speaker 2: I don't know just how many clubs will be our
Speaker 2: new spooky Halloween stores. What's funny because banks, I know
Speaker 2: in La so many banks became spooky Alloween stones time, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is spooky town. And then church department. Yeah, what
Speaker 2: are the other evolutions businesses? Like I'm trying to think
Speaker 2: of the other ones.
Speaker 3: We've got the urban outfitters, oh lash, you know, Taco
Speaker 3: bells or whatever. Mean, Gaily had a joke about that
Speaker 3: that I always for so long ago. It might have
Speaker 3: even been on mic. Sometimes I remember like my friend's
Speaker 3: jokes that they like did it end up doing on stage?
Speaker 3: But I'll remember that time you said that, and I
Speaker 3: think that was like one mic and I never did
Speaker 3: it again. I'm like, well, I liked it.
Speaker 1: I was a fan.
Speaker 2: I bombed that set because of that joke. Well, I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like pizza huts are having a comeback,
Speaker 1: like in the Pizza Hut really well, not not the
Speaker 1: food necessarily, although I guess it is. I guess it
Speaker 1: is right, Like, didn't we do a story at some
Speaker 1: point in the past year that like pizza Hut is
Speaker 1: now beating Dominoes, Like yeah in the US, which is
Speaker 1: strange in.
Speaker 3: The very narrow lane of fast food pizza. You mean
Speaker 3: it's not like are they cool? Like is it like?
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't. I don't think so. But like
Speaker 1: those buildings the Hut themselves that they like, they they
Speaker 1: redesigned the interior and exterior to make it. I feel
Speaker 1: like those would be the easy answer of like what
Speaker 1: people will be living in in the future.
Speaker 3: I'm just like the drive through window, they don't change that,
Speaker 3: and that's like gonna you know, and you said interior exterior.
Speaker 3: I watched Selling Sunset and they love to say indoor
Speaker 3: outdoor living. So I could just imagine, you know, you
Speaker 3: open that little drive through and be like it's indoor
Speaker 3: out the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alfresco dining through this former drive through window in
Speaker 2: the sense that you could pass the food just directly.
Speaker 3: You can have to sit across the dining table like
Speaker 3: someone sits on the other side of the window and
Speaker 3: you're like, hello, join me for dinner. Hello.
Speaker 1: I feel like with our new atomized living where people
Speaker 1: are just expected to like order everything, drive through windows
Speaker 1: like start to make sense a little bit. Fortunately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in home drive in window drive.
Speaker 2: Like a pneumatic food tube. That like you can just
Speaker 2: drop the food off from the curb and it just
Speaker 2: like launches into your Yeah.
Speaker 1: Takes the wrapper off and just fires it directly into
Speaker 1: your mouth.
Speaker 2: Did you see though? How you know that that brand
Speaker 2: chain that bj Novak started where he does like weird
Speaker 2: food pop ups. Okay, so bj Novak has like this
Speaker 2: thing called Chain and they do all these like interesting
Speaker 2: food collaborations. And they did this thing called like pizza
Speaker 2: oat like hot cotuur h a u t E and
Speaker 2: like rebuilt like an old school pizza hut. Like it
Speaker 2: made a whole thing where you can go with the
Speaker 2: salad bar and everything in the red fucking Coca Cola
Speaker 2: cups all that ship.
Speaker 3: And it was like, if you wanted to order off
Speaker 3: the menu, would you be ordering off the chain?
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, folks, this is what this is
Speaker 1: what you'all tune in for Catch your Birdhouse twenty First.
Speaker 2: I'd actually like to order off the chain, And they're like,
Speaker 2: because it's called chain, right, It's like, but that's a menu.
Speaker 2: Well you get where I'm at.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Teresa, We're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple
Speaker 1: of stories we're talking about. Secret Service really biffed this
Speaker 1: one man. They they failed to sniff out the cocaine source.
Speaker 1: Do you see what our writer JM did there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he won't be with us on Monday's episode. Yeah, Secret
Speaker 1: Service they drew attention to a dimebag of cocaine found
Speaker 1: in the little stash away thing and then they never
Speaker 1: were unable to give a satisfying explanation. So now everyone
Speaker 1: thinks it is Hunter Biden.
Speaker 2: I bet it's one of the Secret Services. Now, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is one of their coke as. But anyway, also
Speaker 2: Jesse Waters has a theory to and we'll get into.
Speaker 3: That is the first time that's come up, because it
Speaker 3: makes me think like it as that's just never you know, wow,
Speaker 3: Like I would just expect that there's been cocaine White House.
Speaker 1: I dropped my cocaine all the time. I'm dropping cocaine.
Speaker 1: I shed at least three dime bags of cocaine on
Speaker 1: a weekly basis.
Speaker 3: I was a page at NBC and we have to
Speaker 3: give tours in one of our coworkers or one of
Speaker 3: the pages who had a very famous producer, Dad would
Speaker 3: give tours, like like just totally coked down one time?
Speaker 3: Literally yeah, dropped it bag and.
Speaker 2: Wait was this in New York?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, she's probably like.
Speaker 3: An executive somewhere now. I bet she has a great
Speaker 3: salary and yeah it's maybe retired.
Speaker 2: Actually yeah right. I love the I just loved it, like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: this is fucking eight h man where they fucking do
Speaker 2: SNL and like fucking Jimbalushi, man, fucking who else? Chris Barley?
Speaker 2: You know they did coke or whatever. I don't know
Speaker 2: if that's why they died. All right, let's go to
Speaker 2: the next one.
Speaker 3: I like that you made her bro, which.
Speaker 2: I can only do. I can only recreate coked out bro.
Speaker 2: Really well, I'm not.
Speaker 3: Gonna describe what she looks like because people, I mean,
Speaker 3: not that they all knows, but very funny imagining.
Speaker 1: Just different flat brim surfer cap, wrap around shades.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what did the tours sound like with this
Speaker 2: with this woman? Who was leg Oh my god?
Speaker 3: Like that? You know?
Speaker 2: And then but was that like a lot was there
Speaker 2: a lot of talking or just oh yeah, well.
Speaker 3: I thought you doing an impression of the kocad, which
Speaker 3: I would have done a Kesha impression. But little is
Speaker 3: actually where I started doing right before I got into
Speaker 3: stand up. It's kind of how I got my my
Speaker 3: little sea legs. I wanted to Yeah, I just you know,
Speaker 3: I was nervous about talking, and then we get to
Speaker 3: do get to do real bad, corny jokes and then
Speaker 3: you know, kind of rerite our own. Yeah. Yeah, they're
Speaker 3: real bad jokes. They're they're stupid.
Speaker 1: The little sea legs you created with your hands. By
Speaker 1: the way, we're so little.
Speaker 2: You were doing hands horrify sh okay.
Speaker 1: A minimum, these are only yeah yeah, yeah, oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Have you seen like have you been to the Universal
Speaker 2: Studio tour recently?
Speaker 3: Like have you done the back Not recently, but definitely
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another place where I feel like a lot
Speaker 2: of people are getting their sea legs, so to speak,
Speaker 2: like with like doing material because like it's it's weird,
Speaker 2: like I guess you get a lot of latitude, like
Speaker 2: with certain jokes because some people have like a style,
Speaker 2: other people like stick to a script. But that has
Speaker 2: big I'm work shopping some material energy.
Speaker 3: You know what that there's something really nice about getting
Speaker 3: a because it's like part of the job, and so
Speaker 3: there's like pre written stuff, but you can practice getting
Speaker 3: the sense of like delivery, but also getting the last Yeah.
Speaker 3: Half of like getting confident is just being like and
Speaker 3: then I'll say this and they'll like and you know,
Speaker 3: obviously if you're doing stand up, you shouldn't be doing
Speaker 3: other people's jokes. But like if you're a jungle cruise
Speaker 3: guide or you know, you know whatever, like that is like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, you're gonna crush it with the children,
Speaker 3: and you do get confident.
Speaker 2: I think they start you know, do it also too,
Speaker 2: because that audience is so varied, Like, yeah, you have
Speaker 2: people your age, you have octagenarians from Ohio, you have
Speaker 2: people from all over, and like when they get when
Speaker 2: they start crushing it, you're like this, you might have
Speaker 2: a I get white, like you're gonna get discovered like this.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been in an open mic where someone
Speaker 1: got up and tried to do some clearly scripted like
Speaker 1: backlot tour material were there?
Speaker 2: I've never.
Speaker 1: Something about the minions you see these things? I mean,
Speaker 1: imagine if there's a big manion climbing over that building. Okay,
Speaker 1: now that'll set things up pretty nicew.
Speaker 2: Guys, everybody get to one side. Do you smell bananas?
Speaker 2: Because I think that is King Kong and you're like,
Speaker 2: what this person talking about?
Speaker 3: I have I read there is a I don't know
Speaker 3: they still do this, but like there's at the Improv
Speaker 3: Down or the Commedy Store, I don't know whichever one
Speaker 3: of those chains. That's down in Anaheim. There's a Jungle
Speaker 3: Cruise Comedian Night or like the stand ups who work
Speaker 3: at Disneyland perform and it's a lot of the Jungle Cruise.
Speaker 3: People like that's the real thing.
Speaker 1: Wait is the Jungle Cruise that was a ride that
Speaker 1: we missed when we took our kids to disney World?
Speaker 1: Is that a particularly like improvised?
Speaker 3: Improvably improv It's very scripted, but as a kid, I
Speaker 3: was like, they're so funny.
Speaker 1: You have to it's like performer heavy. It's not animatronicd no, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a guide and they do man Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: If I could give my kids review, that thing was stinky. Man.
Speaker 1: They that just animatronics like moving back and forth.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so bad. Yeah you can like hear they're
Speaker 2: like mandible piece like clicking their fake They're like, what
Speaker 2: the fuck is this? Damn they're spoiled, man, Because I
Speaker 2: used to see that ship. I'm like you, I think
Speaker 2: that dog is real. Yeah, I thought that too, with
Speaker 2: the keys and shit, I'm like, that dog is very
Speaker 2: well trained. And I remember, just.
Speaker 3: Prove how dumb we are as children.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they liked the Swiss family Robinson house better. We
Speaker 1: did that right, well, I mean it's not a right yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did that like three times. All right, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about SAG. SAG's about to go on strike streak, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: double strike. Before we get to any of it, though, trees,
Speaker 1: So we like to ask our guests, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history?
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, my search history. I just searched it because
Speaker 3: I moved and we have a little not a blond garden,
Speaker 3: but some outdoor space. So I searched what can you
Speaker 3: grow under a pepper tree? Because we have a pepper
Speaker 3: California pepper tree, not like a chili pepper tree, and
Speaker 3: everything it's just weez and everything apparently dies under there.
Speaker 3: And I didn't some of you may know this, but
Speaker 3: if you search that, you'll find that it's commonly like
Speaker 3: a common source of what do you call it? Umbridge?
Speaker 3: That's not the right word.
Speaker 1: It's controversial.
Speaker 3: People don't. Well, people don't. It doesn't nothing. I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna make up words. It doesn't. I'm not even like
Speaker 3: the writers are on strike. I'm you.
Speaker 2: Know, to the script Teresa, when you come on, when
Speaker 2: you have all your remarks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but pepper trees, apparently I don't play well with
Speaker 3: others like California pepper trees because they not only stuck
Speaker 3: up a lot of water, but they just like everything
Speaker 3: dies around them. But I found this made me laugh
Speaker 3: because there's all these borams about people who are like,
Speaker 3: what can you grow on? And I've tried this, I've
Speaker 3: tried everything. Everything dies. And there's one forum where it's
Speaker 3: like people are discussing, you know, their plants, and someone said, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm into like California. I have too. I'm gonna summarize this,
Speaker 3: but I have two large pepper trees, and there was
Speaker 3: nothing when I moved in, but now I have, like
Speaker 3: any lists, a bunch of stupplies and creeping rosebary column
Speaker 3: bye coasters, blah blah blah after two years of all driving.
Speaker 3: And the comment right below it just says, I am
Speaker 3: also in southern California. I would like to see pictures
Speaker 3: of your plantings under the peppertree. Thank you. I don't
Speaker 3: believe you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, we call that cap on this forum, and
Speaker 2: I don't believe it. Make with the pictures. What happened
Speaker 2: after that evidence or not?
Speaker 3: No, they didn't post it. I don't know. Man.
Speaker 2: I hope that person could come back with it. I'm
Speaker 2: so because I love like it's it seems pretty clear
Speaker 2: that it's probably very a unique situation based on how
Speaker 2: it frusht.
Speaker 3: And this is from May May twenty twenty and uh
Speaker 3: that yeah, nothing else, and uh it is one right
Speaker 3: before that was from two thousand and two. So someone
Speaker 3: came in here to be like I did plant some.
Speaker 2: I know you did it, So then what you can
Speaker 2: just have to move something hold not underneath the tree
Speaker 2: or like a planner box.
Speaker 3: So there's like so many weeds there, so we we
Speaker 3: did it. But I think I want to put I mean,
Speaker 3: this is my like longer term project for well maybe
Speaker 3: I'll have a lot more free time now, but I'm
Speaker 3: gonna I think I'll put sand and maybe like make
Speaker 3: it a nice seating area. But it's kind of an
Speaker 3: awkward spot because it's we have one of those like
Speaker 3: what do you call it. It's like a house, but
Speaker 3: it's at the end of a lot lot. It's actually
Speaker 3: like technically three houses in a row. Yeah you yeah,
Speaker 3: we have a little plot. But yeah, I think I
Speaker 3: would or I would want to build a deck, which
Speaker 3: I definitely want to do but will probably not do
Speaker 3: for a while because I need to get my little sea.
Speaker 1: Legs, your tiny little skinny.
Speaker 3: Sea legs, my building legs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Leaving a legacy? Okay, I don't think that sounds so strange,
Speaker 3: but I was thinking about, you know, just uh, like
Speaker 3: the existential things what I want to do, and I
Speaker 3: don't know, I just thought, like the idea that we
Speaker 3: put so much focus. I'm like, I really want to
Speaker 3: leave a legacy. Like I think, obviously it's nice to
Speaker 3: not be forgotten, but if you're living your life and
Speaker 3: doing everything you can to live it fully, like that
Speaker 3: is a legacy, right, because when you find things about people,
Speaker 3: I like, I love those tiktoks where they just find
Speaker 3: people that you don't know, but did you know the
Speaker 3: first person to right right right, you know, the roller
Speaker 3: sleeves up and you know, make it cool and and now.
Speaker 2: This is to put cigarettes in the pocket.
Speaker 3: It was like a whole story, you know, and I'll
Speaker 3: be like, well, actually they were doing it in defiance,
Speaker 3: but like and they're actually la la and I love those.
Speaker 3: It's like they didn't do that to leave a legacy.
Speaker 3: But then the fact that we're talking about it now
Speaker 3: usually applies like, oh, they were just living their life
Speaker 3: and someone found this, which to me is like I'd
Speaker 3: rather that, like I think not trying to you know,
Speaker 3: name buildings after myself.
Speaker 2: You know, not that I think that often, but the
Speaker 2: urged to like leave a legacy, you know, like that
Speaker 2: capital l it's I think you're just born out of
Speaker 2: the fear of our own mortality, right is because yeah.
Speaker 3: But it also all these like billionaires like Elon Musk
Speaker 3: and yeah, Mark Zuckerberg, like you know, I mean they
Speaker 3: do have a lot of power and have done things.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to like get into that conversation, but
Speaker 3: just like so much of that feels driven by like, oh,
Speaker 3: if you can just get big enough and do something,
Speaker 3: you can like change the world and leave the legacy.
Speaker 3: Whereas if you just like live your life and are
Speaker 3: a good dad, like that also is quite effective.
Speaker 2: And name your kid kid x JC THREEXQ that by
Speaker 2: traumatizing a young person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can also like try and overdetermine, like you're
Speaker 1: so preoccupied with leaving a legacy that you name your
Speaker 1: kid X three four or you know, buy a social
Speaker 1: media network, going to fucking run it into the ground,
Speaker 1: and then you know you are not in control of
Speaker 1: the legacy that you actually leave, you'll be leaving some legacy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, people just make fun. I mean at this point,
Speaker 2: if I was Elon Musk and I thought I was
Speaker 2: leaving a legacy, I would be in panic mode because
Speaker 2: all they were going to remember is how I'm being
Speaker 2: like measure our dicks and yeah, and you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: and that was that guy.
Speaker 1: Who seems like you're doing good, things are going well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think a legacy too is just like
Speaker 2: if you're good and you you can have your kindness
Speaker 2: or positivity resonate reverberate that has like that has more
Speaker 2: lasting effects than somebody you know, immortalizing you and like
Speaker 2: statue form.
Speaker 3: Also, I know people don't like to think about death,
Speaker 3: but you won't be around to enjoy a pressure. I
Speaker 3: know that so much of what we think like that
Speaker 3: makes us feel better about dying. But like, just leave
Speaker 3: a legacy for tomorrow, literally, like just put two dollars
Speaker 3: in a tip jar, you know, and then you'd be like,
Speaker 3: I'll let your legacy like for tomorrow, and then tomorrow
Speaker 3: we'll keep coming. You know.
Speaker 2: All this to say is the present is the most
Speaker 2: real thing that you have experience, only real thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't don't get caught up in the future because that
Speaker 2: doesn't exist, and neither does the past. So you know,
Speaker 2: to your point, the past.
Speaker 3: Does exist, Okay, because why else am I crying every night?
Speaker 2: Well, like we can. That's a different podcast that will
Speaker 2: be starting and we'll talk about that called time Travelers
Speaker 2: with Minds.
Speaker 1: You ever see like one of those like like a
Speaker 1: park bench or something with someone's name on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're like, damn that there's one kind of bleak.
Speaker 2: There's one in the neighborhood where Her Majesty grew up,
Speaker 2: and it's like it's like there's like this one bench
Speaker 2: and it's like to roller skating Bob. Yeah, and it
Speaker 2: was like one of those things. What the fuck is
Speaker 2: up roller skating Bob? Like, now I'm really interested that
Speaker 2: like you were known as this thing but you know
Speaker 2: Legacy left, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Why didn't they leave roller skates? It's like he didn't
Speaker 3: like to.
Speaker 1: Say he liked to roller skate, right, that's where he
Speaker 1: put his rollers, So that's his ass was there. What's
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Okay? I think I'm gonna I'm gonna say this, okay,
Speaker 3: because there's this really cool taco spot right around where
Speaker 3: I live. It's like my neighborhood. But it's just a
Speaker 3: guy who sells tacos in front of his house, and
Speaker 3: he's really cool, and it's underrated obviously because you guys
Speaker 3: don't know about it. But I want to kind him
Speaker 3: out because I love this so much. Literally, I feel
Speaker 3: like it's like I don't want to say I manifested
Speaker 3: it because obviously this man is an individual person who
Speaker 3: has his own life and needs. But I was thinking
Speaker 3: right before I move, like, oh, it would be really
Speaker 3: cool to just I think I was just having existential
Speaker 3: dreams about you can't tell, like what's my future and livelihood?
Speaker 3: So I was like, what if I just like opened
Speaker 3: a little restaurant in my garage. But that was mostly
Speaker 3: like I don't actually want to do it, but I
Speaker 3: was just thinking the idea of like, let's just go
Speaker 3: back to It reminds me of like Taiwan, where people
Speaker 3: just have these little eateries and you know your neighborhood
Speaker 3: and you enjoy your community and it's nice and it
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be you know, Chipotle or bought by Facebook.
Speaker 3: But then, like the first week I lived here, I
Speaker 3: saw a sign that was just like handwritten I just
Speaker 3: like in Spanish, I said, like tacos Viennese East Abado,
Speaker 3: like Fridays and Saturdays. And my first thought was like, oh,
Speaker 3: that must be good because if it's a handwritten sign,
Speaker 3: it's not advertised. He's only doing it up two days
Speaker 3: of the week.
Speaker 1: Just sheer love of the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Friday comes around, I'm like, oh, I can't wait.
Speaker 3: First time I go. And he said it was the
Speaker 3: first time he was doing it too, So oh, mine
Speaker 3: line's coincided.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so and did You're like, I made you
Speaker 1: do this, Like I've never heard of tacos before yesterday.
Speaker 3: He's like, I just spontaneously appeared. But no, he like
Speaker 3: started this little business in front of his house and
Speaker 3: it's so good. He just like starts cooking in the
Speaker 3: afternoon on Fridays, and then around five he started telling
Speaker 3: it like I was trying to buy it, like at
Speaker 3: like two, and he was like it's.
Speaker 2: Not ready yet, and then right now.
Speaker 3: But they're so good and it's so cute. And he's
Speaker 3: been doing it now for the last couple of weeks
Speaker 3: every Friday Saturday and there's like a crowd, and he
Speaker 3: started here's by Papa's Talk Tacos Papa Jose, And like
Speaker 3: every week I go there, there's like a new sign now,
Speaker 3: like he's like adding more marketing, Like now there's a
Speaker 3: sign down the street along like the you know, the
Speaker 3: main street that has an arrow that says tacos. And
Speaker 3: then the other day there was one that you could
Speaker 3: scan the QR code and follow him. Oh, Tacos Papa Jose.
Speaker 1: It's actually a brilliant marketing strategy. Could you actually give
Speaker 1: him my number? I actually want to reach out to
Speaker 1: him about getting his brand online.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's really like a cool thing because I feel like
Speaker 1: the Lemonade stand model, Like you you never hear that
Speaker 1: applied to anything else. It's just like kids trying their
Speaker 1: first taking their first whack at capitalism.
Speaker 3: It's like very and they don't know, it's because they're cute.
Speaker 3: That's why they're selling it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, But like if if you're good at
Speaker 1: making stuff, why not do a little taco It's so
Speaker 1: good and.
Speaker 3: It's like like it's homemade, and there's like, you know,
Speaker 3: people sitting around. There's usually like a TV and his
Speaker 3: family's hanging out, so it's like really nice. But also
Speaker 3: like the first weekend, I think there was a graduation,
Speaker 3: so a lot of people were coming. But also he
Speaker 3: just said he I asked him how we advertised, and
Speaker 3: he just said he was posting on Facebook. So I mean, whatever,
Speaker 3: fuck it, Luckerberg, But like that's kind of nice. I
Speaker 3: don't know, there was something really like sweet about just
Speaker 3: like it's good and he's just urgently trying to do
Speaker 3: it that way. But in my mind, I'm like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, what if this is the next ding type
Speaker 3: punk because that's how you hear about these like huge eteries.
Speaker 3: They always start from.
Speaker 2: Just okay, So then maybe you need to get in
Speaker 2: as an investor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like investor, this is how you get the Wilding's
Speaker 1: named after you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do.
Speaker 3: You can stand up and you show up. It's gonna
Speaker 3: be called Taco's Mama Teresa.
Speaker 2: I did a leverage buy out. I got chased this
Speaker 2: aside of town. It's all mine.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: This idiot made the mistake of showing me iss processed for.
Speaker 2: Making the pritary recipe true capitalists, but also only two
Speaker 2: dollars breay good.
Speaker 3: That's the other thing. I'm like, Oh, it's so much
Speaker 3: and so near Salazar, and I'm like, but I'm like misplaced.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love like I love local food, local eateries.
Speaker 2: It's it's so funny when you meet people like I
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe it's just being an Angelina, like I've
Speaker 2: never grown up with like the fear of street food.
Speaker 2: And also maybe just like in Japan to in Asia,
Speaker 2: like they're just like in Japan they're called Yatai's where
Speaker 2: they're just like fucking people just throw up a tent
Speaker 2: and ship and a grill. Yeah, like they're serving outside
Speaker 2: of a train. Yeah yeah yeah. So like it's it's
Speaker 2: always funny me people are like, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you have clearly not felt the love of
Speaker 2: street food.
Speaker 3: That also you can't get stick of you. Like when
Speaker 3: I went back to time, wanted I hadn't been for
Speaker 3: a while, and I just like, late, I got something
Speaker 3: that probably have been out for hours. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you gotta know how to be a little savvy about
Speaker 3: what time and where which stands are going to.
Speaker 2: But I like to just say, yeah, it's cause you've
Speaker 2: been out of the country too long. It wasn't their fault,
Speaker 2: it was you wasn't there.
Speaker 3: They were like, why would you buy this meat?
Speaker 2: Thankless, it was clearly a shoe on a stick.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I thought it was like a gag, like a fun shape.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about cocaine, and we're back. We just
Speaker 1: got we just got right. During the ass I got
Speaker 1: an app.
Speaker 2: Ideas, dude, I can't swallow. I guess, okay, what whatever?
Speaker 1: I can't feel my eyes for some reason. Oh ship,
Speaker 1: I wiped my eyes.
Speaker 2: I wipe my eyes. My eyeballs are numb. Are they open?
Speaker 1: I can't open?
Speaker 3: Or not? None of us.
Speaker 2: Might arise.
Speaker 1: Well. Despite the fact that White House Press Secretary Kareem
Speaker 1: John Pierre boldly proclaimed that the Secret Service would get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of how exactly a dimebag of coke
Speaker 1: ended up in the White House. Apparently they came up
Speaker 1: empty and I personally will not stand for it. This
Speaker 1: is the dumbest shit. But obviously it's going to make
Speaker 1: a it's going to become a huge thing because we
Speaker 1: got an election coming up and we've got Donald Trump
Speaker 1: involved in the election.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's just been like
Speaker 2: manna from heaven for conservatives. They're the only people who
Speaker 2: are like going off the total rails, you know, to
Speaker 2: find a way to make this all about Joe Biden
Speaker 2: being a fucking yackhead.
Speaker 1: But no, off the just total hairy caterpillar rails.
Speaker 3: You know, saying I think they should get Darren there
Speaker 3: do like a whole you know. But they made us
Speaker 3: do an elementary school but for the White House, and
Speaker 3: everyone has to go to assembly. They all have to
Speaker 3: do those reenactments, you know where they're like would you
Speaker 3: boke this cigarette? No? I would not, you know, like
Speaker 3: every that was great.
Speaker 1: Now let's see how that goes with a different Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh. The leading theory is that one of the
Speaker 1: visitors during the White House touring the White House left
Speaker 1: it there, and the tubbies where the coke was found
Speaker 1: are in a blind spot for surveillance cameras. I mean
Speaker 1: this all like, if this, if this was a story
Speaker 1: that actually mattered, it would definitely seem fishy. It seems
Speaker 1: like that they have a blind spots. Yeah, blind spots
Speaker 1: of the places where the people who are being checked
Speaker 1: for security like put their stuff.
Speaker 2: Right, just like we don't know big Yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: black box in there. It's a black I.
Speaker 3: Feel bad for if it's actually a tourist who lost
Speaker 3: their cocaine, because that's what you go back and get it.
Speaker 1: Is this a scandal or is this a tragedy?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: I say, well, it depends on whose it is right,
Speaker 2: because I think now if like, okay, because they've they've
Speaker 2: they did they spent way too much money and time
Speaker 2: and resources to figure this out.
Speaker 1: You know, FBI crime lab analysis didn't turn up any
Speaker 1: finger prints or DNA evidence.
Speaker 2: At baggy, Are you for real? That's why I'm like,
Speaker 2: it's got to be the Secret Services. Somebody was handling
Speaker 2: their coke baggy with fucking gloves on like a fucking
Speaker 2: like cs I and like there's nothing on here because
Speaker 2: they're probably like, yo, that'sh it was ricks man. So
Speaker 2: you just let's just let's just say, we don't know
Speaker 2: what the fuck happened, but you know, it's Rick Man.
Speaker 2: He's geeked up all the time, wasn't that On.
Speaker 3: The right side. This suspicion is it's Hunters or Joe's.
Speaker 3: They didn't do it. So I think it's like the coke.
Speaker 2: We have the coke.
Speaker 3: You know, no coke, no unpitched app ideas, no running noses.
Speaker 3: We're good, you know, we're good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's just it's it's really funny though, to see
Speaker 2: how much conservatives are trying to make this a fucking
Speaker 2: story though, because most people are like, okay, fine, Like
Speaker 2: it's not like they found like a fucking kilo in
Speaker 2: the fucking presidential like with a presidential seal on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They come up to like the liberal news media,
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, well, what about this a baggie of
Speaker 1: cocaine was found in the liberal news Like there's probably
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's probably I don't know that that seems like
Speaker 1: it makes sense. They're like, yeah, but that's weird, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and he seems to have a cocaine habit,
Speaker 1: So yes, that's that's what I would suspect.
Speaker 3: I'm so surprised that it's news that they found it
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 2: Well, it was news initially because, like the a hazmat
Speaker 2: team was called in, that's the only reason, because they
Speaker 2: thought it could have been it could have been that thrax,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So they were like, oh oh,
Speaker 2: And then a bunch of attention was like, oh, what
Speaker 2: the fuck happened? Like now it was just some blow
Speaker 2: And then it became it was hunters, a.
Speaker 1: Zipped up dime baggie of anthrax? Like who found this?
Speaker 1: Was it like somebody who had just stepped off a
Speaker 1: bus from But yeah, I don't know. Suggesting it could
Speaker 1: have been Joe Biden's drugs, like is probably the most
Speaker 1: far fetched conspiracy theory. I've heard a lot of far
Speaker 1: fetched conspiracy theories about presidents. But like, there's just no
Speaker 1: way that guy's doing cocaine. There's like nothing about him.
Speaker 3: If he was doing cocaine, there's the Secret Service would
Speaker 3: definitely know and they would just have like they would
Speaker 3: like they wouldn't be like, he wouldn't be hiding it
Speaker 3: in a locker, right, you know what I mean? You like,
Speaker 3: oh shit, Okay, I feel like when I think of cocaine.
Speaker 3: I think of Republicans more than Democrats. I know, it's
Speaker 3: like a non Powerson drug, but like that it might
Speaker 3: like does this make sense?
Speaker 1: I think of like trumponaires.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's weird that to me that the Republicans
Speaker 3: are the ones jumping on the story.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well it also makes sense because Trump Trump's entire AMMO
Speaker 1: is to blame other people for the thing that he
Speaker 1: and his side is guilty of. No, that backstage video
Speaker 1: during January sixth where they're all like blasting the song
Speaker 1: Gloria and like Kimberly Guilfoyle is like dancing like Michelle
Speaker 1: Peiffer and Scarface and like that is the most cocaine
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen in my life. Like it's just
Speaker 1: with cocaine energy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like you have to be on coke
Speaker 2: to be like watch like an insurrection unfold and be like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah the vibes.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump juniors.
Speaker 1: And he just yeah, left it there.
Speaker 2: He goes back. He's like, no fear, that's mine. I
Speaker 2: do want to play this one though, because Jesse Waters,
Speaker 2: you know, who's about to take Tucker Carlson's slot, and
Speaker 2: a lot of people like what the fuck is going
Speaker 2: to be about? He he had a theory and I
Speaker 2: don't even know. I'm not sure what the theory is.
Speaker 2: He goes into a few different things, but let's just
Speaker 2: hear Jesse Waters and his his theory about what's really
Speaker 2: going on. First, he's gonna talk shit about the fact
Speaker 2: that Hunter Biden wears a backpack and this, this is
Speaker 2: this is just gonna demonstrate how unintelligent this man is.
Speaker 4: Hunter carries that backpack everywhere. What's in the backpack?
Speaker 2: And because a fifty three.
Speaker 4: Year old man of a bright red backpack like that,
Speaker 4: is that where he keeps his laptop?
Speaker 2: So don't lose it again.
Speaker 4: Isn't saying this was Ashley's cocaine or this was Hunter's cocaine.
Speaker 2: We have no idea.
Speaker 4: These are just our suspects.
Speaker 2: He has just you know, the graphic behind him is
Speaker 2: like a made up corkboard with.
Speaker 3: Like all the suspects Amazon show ad.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so he's gonna go on. He's got he's
Speaker 2: got another theory about whose it is. Warning it is
Speaker 2: gonna involve some missogy Noir.
Speaker 4: We hope it's not their cocaine, because that'd be tragic.
Speaker 4: We want them to stay clean. Remember what NBC suggested
Speaker 4: the coke was found near the entrance that Kamala slides in.
Speaker 2: Is it, dougs?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Is this Joe's plan of getting Kamala off the ticket?
Speaker 4: Have the FEDS plant some coke with her fingerprints on it?
Speaker 4: I doubt it, but we're not ruling anything out.
Speaker 2: Okay, then why say it? Is it this wild, outland
Speaker 2: outlandish thing. I doubt it, but I'll say it anyway.
Speaker 2: Any things off the table. Yeah, So I don't know. Like,
Speaker 2: for it's interesting to see how people are, like, what
Speaker 2: is this next iteration of the Tucker Carlton time slot
Speaker 2: gonna look like? But like Jesse Waters is not smart
Speaker 2: at all?
Speaker 3: So he is. It's not even getting like I mean,
Speaker 3: as much as I hate Tarker Crosson, he makes me
Speaker 3: so angry and in a way that makes me realize
Speaker 3: he's good at pushing that button, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like he's good at getting his fan base riled up,
Speaker 3: but also good at like getting his opposition like I
Speaker 3: hate you, but just now watching I was like, what,
Speaker 3: You're just bad, You're done.
Speaker 2: You have a backpack, You're like, oh shit, Oh.
Speaker 3: No, he's got a backpack. I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 3: have you ever been to an open mic? Everyone has a.
Speaker 1: Backpack tale red backpack?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that could be like a new conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2: And there right now it's like red backpack, their a cokehead. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we know about that because you know, you know how
Speaker 2: these people are. They have their little codes with their backpacks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, comic ping pong red backpacks.
Speaker 2: Trump has seen it.
Speaker 1: Accused it'll be like accused Biden of having cocaine and
Speaker 1: in jemail that was written by cocaine, like in one
Speaker 1: of his truths, he was tweeted.
Speaker 5: It was crooking Joe Biden on cocaine when he instructed
Speaker 5: fbid OJ to illegally invade my home mar A Lago
Speaker 5: in complete and total violation of my Fourth Amendment rights?
Speaker 5: Was he on cocaine or various other substances when he,
Speaker 5: for the first time in US history, has his political
Speaker 5: opponent who's leading him in the polls by a lot
Speaker 5: and died and arrested twice if you include the doj
Speaker 5: Rum Manhattan DA's office.
Speaker 3: Just run.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're innocent?
Speaker 3: Is that is? That is?
Speaker 1: That's this point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe Biden's on cocaine. That's why you're also saying
Speaker 2: he has no energy, So what kind of cocaine is
Speaker 2: he doing right.
Speaker 3: In my home? Because the person who told them to search.
Speaker 1: It, I was probably on cocaine. That guy has been
Speaker 1: on cocaine.
Speaker 2: You asked me, well, we'll put a pin in that,
Speaker 2: we'll see if this stupid caper is ever solved, when
Speaker 2: really it's I think the strongest version that they did
Speaker 2: they couldn't find anyone, is that they're protecting maybe this secrets.
Speaker 3: But Okay, if it was a person like a like
Speaker 3: a rando civilian, don't you think they'd want to protect
Speaker 3: them too? Or do you think they throw them to
Speaker 3: the woods, Because if I was like they thought it
Speaker 3: was dangerous and like, wouldn't it be so irresponsible to
Speaker 3: be like like if it was like Michael Kainda, like
Speaker 3: it was actually just just to recaly.
Speaker 2: Be, Like, wait, did you just say Michael came?
Speaker 3: Like maybe they just like, we don't know because there's
Speaker 3: no threat, but they can't say that. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: even I'm I'm even sure about the FBI crime lab.
Speaker 2: And on one hand, I would believe that we would
Speaker 2: completely just misdirect resources like that for something so stupid.
Speaker 2: And then on the other hand, I can see me
Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, yeah, we did a whole analysis and
Speaker 2: came up with nothing. Can you move the fuck one? Okay,
Speaker 2: here's trying to ignore white supremacy all day and the.
Speaker 3: Worst coiracy that I as you're saying that I feel
Speaker 3: like could actually be true if if it's not true
Speaker 3: that the FBI just sucks at doing it, which could
Speaker 3: also be true, yeah, but that they're trying to test,
Speaker 3: like you know, how something they want to test something
Speaker 3: to see how the public reacts or what the protocol
Speaker 3: would be.
Speaker 2: Was that like flying it like a trial balloon, Yeah, like.
Speaker 3: See how we would react to something like this, but
Speaker 3: also to then be able to get away with something
Speaker 3: different or not, but just to see like where the
Speaker 3: week's bus are and how much the public can get
Speaker 3: it like be cool with like, oh, it was just cocaine.
Speaker 2: The public school. It turns out it was an informal
Speaker 2: poll to see what the outrage meter was for cocaine
Speaker 2: the voting base, and people were like yeah, yeah, yeah
Speaker 2: whatever they made people do LSD for Yeah, but it's
Speaker 2: funny that we're over here being like it could have
Speaker 2: been a tragedy because someone lost their little coke baggy,
Speaker 2: you know, like we need to figure out who did it.
Speaker 2: It's like that sucks, bro, that sucks. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and hit some more stories. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back, and all of Hollywood's on strike now.
Speaker 2: Baby.
Speaker 1: Members of the Screen Actors Guild are set to hit
Speaker 1: picket lines after negotiations unanimously. Negotiators unanimously recommended a strike
Speaker 1: after talks with studios broke down. Friend dresser, former star
Speaker 1: Than Nanny, and the president of SAG after US said
Speaker 1: studios response to the actors' concerns had been quote insulting
Speaker 1: and disrespectful. Checks out that seems to be given literally
Speaker 1: every document, every email that has leaked of their negotiation tactics,
Speaker 1: Like they're just like, yeah, okay, how about this. How
Speaker 1: about we agreed to talk to each other once a
Speaker 1: year instead of agreeing to give you money, we'll talk.
Speaker 1: We'll have a good faith conversation on our end about
Speaker 1: whether we should Is that good enough.
Speaker 2: For you, guys?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, It's wild too, because a dresser was getting shipped
Speaker 2: for like hob Nobby with Kim Kardashian, famous scab, and
Speaker 2: people were like, this is not a good look for
Speaker 2: the SAG present to be reb and elbows with somebody
Speaker 2: who does not respect the this this union at all.
Speaker 2: But hey you the.
Speaker 3: Announcement, because I was looking at the statement was like
Speaker 3: we've heard or the letter they wrote to the members,
Speaker 3: It's like, what is it? Is that something like you know,
Speaker 3: like we are because we heard what you want us
Speaker 3: to say, We're gonna do that instead of just being
Speaker 3: like we are all one and we want that, we
Speaker 3: got it.
Speaker 2: You want you guys say this.
Speaker 3: You want it. I'll tell them it's like yourself from this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is one of us, is the point.
Speaker 2: We represent you. But if that's what y'all want, that's
Speaker 2: we tell Bob Iger. So just make sure that we're
Speaker 2: we do a quick vibe check really quick.
Speaker 3: It's kind of well because I think this could be
Speaker 3: a bit. I mean, it sucks now, but I think
Speaker 3: what people are realizing is like all these videos, everybody
Speaker 3: who's like, nah, like we can't pay you, I think
Speaker 3: they really don't think they can because they don't want
Speaker 3: to realizing the absolutely but what really will happen is
Speaker 3: like now we're not afraid to piss them off. And
Speaker 3: you know, creators, if creators made their own studio, I
Speaker 3: mean yeah, they're out, Like literally, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Like we just make our own ship and like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we actually only do business with these news studios.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, like we used to be afraid of like nobody
Speaker 3: wants to take on the studios, but now it's like this,
Speaker 3: we can't even work for the studios.
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to make their own movies, hiring their children.
Speaker 6: AI Like okay, whatever, Yeah, look, we had an AI
Speaker 6: on coke, yeah, and starring Bob Iger's daughter as the lead,
Speaker 6: and that's our welcome to New Holly.
Speaker 1: Did you have the cocaine levels on on this script?
Speaker 1: I feel like we could take them from like a
Speaker 1: six up to an eight. Maybe this feels like it
Speaker 1: wasn't written on enough cocaine.
Speaker 3: What if we gave the AI cocaine?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I feel like the AI should have a
Speaker 1: meter of like how much.
Speaker 2: Hey, someone with access to chat GPT, can you say
Speaker 2: write this script like in the voidco oh my yes?
Speaker 2: Man from who was born in nineteen fifty four, You
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I would love to see the code of what it
Speaker 3: would look like, because I want, you know, like something
Speaker 3: is changing in our brains when you smoke weed or
Speaker 3: you know, when you're sad or whatever. But like I
Speaker 3: want to see the co changes. Or they're just imitating
Speaker 3: because that I mean, that would give me inside of
Speaker 3: their sentience, or I'm totally chaining the topic. I'm let's
Speaker 3: come back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll come back to this. Put a pin.
Speaker 1: This will be the first duel strike in Hollywood since
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty, when the WGA went on strikeover residuals from
Speaker 1: films sold to TV networks, which is not unlike the
Speaker 1: battle of I mean residuals today. So back then they
Speaker 1: were joined by SAG, then headed by famous socialist Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he absolutely. It's funny. A lot of people
Speaker 2: are like a lot of reporting just like and Ronald
Speaker 2: Reagan helped like sort it all out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: If you go a few degrees deeper, though, you'll realize
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan was Reagan in even back then. He fucked him.
Speaker 2: He fucked SAG with his negotiations back then and even
Speaker 2: prior to that, right, because at the time, there was
Speaker 2: this whole thing about, well, are we gonna get residuals
Speaker 2: for films that were like made at like from nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty onward, and he was like, okay, yeah, let's do
Speaker 2: a deal for that. And people were like, well, what
Speaker 2: about things that were between August nineteen forty eight and
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty And they said, well, we can't pay residuals
Speaker 2: for that, but we will do. What we will do
Speaker 2: is create a like a fund, a pension and welfare fund,
Speaker 2: which was way short of what the actors even wanted
Speaker 2: for the pension fund. And then so then you're like, well,
Speaker 2: what about those movies before nineteen forty eight. Well, back
Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty one, when there was another you know,
Speaker 2: disagreement between SAG and the studios, Ronald Reagan again was
Speaker 2: the president of SAG back then, basically said all right,
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're willing to forfeit any royalties about films
Speaker 2: that go into production before in nineteen forty eight in
Speaker 2: exchange for just the promise of negotiations of royalties like
Speaker 2: made after that date in the future. And these negotiations
Speaker 2: led to the fucking strike in nineteen sixty. So you know,
Speaker 2: Ronald he was, he did his thing, and then he
Speaker 2: joined MCA, and there's there's like a whole other's.
Speaker 3: Like saying like, oh, you know, a promise, we'll talk
Speaker 3: about that later. It's like a promise I'll try to
Speaker 3: work on it. Yeah, nothing is gonna change, but I
Speaker 3: will later try to work on it. When you get
Speaker 3: mad again, I'll push it down right again.
Speaker 2: It's like, I guess, like the promise ring of union negotiations,
Speaker 2: we will promise too.
Speaker 1: But that was what the studios were trying to pull
Speaker 1: with their negotiations. They're like, we'll promise to like talk
Speaker 1: about this with you on a regular basis that good faith.
Speaker 1: Whenever they say good faith, it's.
Speaker 3: Like and you check in, you have to have a
Speaker 3: check in once a week, yeah, And you're like yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: Cut to not doing that for four weeks straight and
Speaker 2: then fighting.
Speaker 1: Cram before this couple's therapy.
Speaker 2: Second check in, check and check in you good, you
Speaker 2: get checking you got you good?
Speaker 1: You okay? Ask me a couple more times, and in
Speaker 1: a sign that this might be working, that this dual
Speaker 1: strike might terrify the people who to this point have
Speaker 1: been glib and complete assholes on the production studio side.
Speaker 1: Bob Iger went on CNBC and called the potential strike
Speaker 1: quote very disturbing to me now, warning that it will
Speaker 1: be quote disruptive to the industry. Yeah, man, that's the
Speaker 1: fucking idea. Like that's the way he.
Speaker 3: Said his quote too. It's so like as if like
Speaker 3: it's very like where it feels like someone who came
Speaker 3: back from a long vacation and have no idea what's
Speaker 3: going on, because it's like, yeah, like this idea. But
Speaker 3: he's also not even saying it, like he's like, oh, what,
Speaker 3: there's a strike. Oh well look yeah, I don't think
Speaker 3: that's nice at all. No, we shouldn't be doing that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it why they're doing it, and
Speaker 3: hexcept to me, like it's totally fair, I think for
Speaker 3: them to ask for it, but it's just not realistic.
Speaker 3: And you're like, yeah, I know, this is what the
Speaker 3: negotiations were, this is what we all of them.
Speaker 2: That's why we're striking because you happened already.
Speaker 3: Lawyers who represent you have said these things already, and
Speaker 3: you have no idea.
Speaker 1: It sounds like your idea of what's realistic and our
Speaker 1: idea of what's realistic are pretty far apart in this negotiation,
Speaker 1: almost like we need but some course of action. No no,
Speaker 1: I win together, No no, no, I win and I win. Okay,
Speaker 1: moving on, What the heck are you doing?
Speaker 2: You guys are striking? No where are you going on?
Speaker 3: It doesn't bury that like teacher or like you know,
Speaker 3: parent who's like saying like, if you are good, you'll
Speaker 3: get yeah, like you'll get ten stars and you get
Speaker 3: and there's like, well, now I change the rules and
Speaker 3: you're just grounded because it's like yeah, yeah, good faith
Speaker 3: supposed to be like there is some parody there, but
Speaker 3: the reality is like he's kind of like, well, I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna say I don't want this, and you guys
Speaker 3: will just have to deal with me blacklisting you. It's
Speaker 3: like they literally were like over it. When you're over
Speaker 3: wherever you They.
Speaker 1: Literally threatened to cancel Christmas. Like that was one of
Speaker 1: the things they said is they were like, oh, yeah
Speaker 1: they're gonna strike, We're gonna wait them out, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a real cold Christmas for them. So they
Speaker 1: did it in the way that a movie villain would.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was thea did you cover that when when
Speaker 2: they're talking about the WGA strike and the studios are like,
Speaker 2: we'll wait until people start losing their homes. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then they'll come to the table. So we can wait.
Speaker 2: We can wait till October, Like we can just dead
Speaker 2: hands till October. Well that's the thing. It's all so
Speaker 2: interconnected that even they are starting to realize, like, well they.
Speaker 3: Don't realize how much is connected because not Only like
Speaker 3: SAG also has a thing where it says like, I mean,
Speaker 3: I think if you were to do anything independently, should
Speaker 3: double check with them. But they did say on their
Speaker 3: rules that if you're an independent truly independently, you know,
Speaker 3: like making your own little student film whatever, and there's
Speaker 3: no studio connected, like you have to check with them,
Speaker 3: but those are allowed, which to me seems like this
Speaker 3: idea of creators making their own shit studios like not
Speaker 3: only are studio is gonna want to be buying stuff later.
Speaker 3: I hope you gets to a point where we're so
Speaker 3: mad that they hold us out, that we're like, we
Speaker 3: don't have to seller shit to you. We're gonna sell
Speaker 3: to the consumers and you're not gonna cut like stuffing's
Speaker 3: gonna get made interesting.
Speaker 2: I mean, because that is like a potential direction of
Speaker 2: the evolution of the industry. Right, It's like you can
Speaker 2: somehow break the fucking power grip of the studios. But
Speaker 2: they're doing a good job motivating people to never want
Speaker 2: to fucking deal with the studios. But the thing that's
Speaker 2: also the funny thing about that Bob Iger quote is
Speaker 2: the way he's positioning the whole fucking thing is he said, quote,
Speaker 2: We've talked about disruptive forces on the business and all
Speaker 2: the challenges we're facing, the recovery from COVID, which is ongoing,
Speaker 2: it's not completely back. This is the worst time in
Speaker 2: the world to add to that disruption, right, it's a
Speaker 2: bad time. Get to it. And then I'm like, it's
Speaker 2: the worst time. What is your motherfucking salary? Then if
Speaker 2: this is the blurst of times right now, he's only taking.
Speaker 1: A one million dollars salary plus twenty six million dollars
Speaker 1: in long term bonus. Again, what one million dollars? That's
Speaker 1: like pretty re after that, which say the part of
Speaker 1: your money plus twenty six million dollars and.
Speaker 2: You're, oh, plus twenty six million dollars oh so you
Speaker 2: mean so you're making you have you can earn up
Speaker 2: to twenty seven million dollars this year and.
Speaker 3: The worst time, it's like, yeah, that's the point. It's
Speaker 3: so bad right now to strike Like he's gonna be like,
Speaker 3: just wait till things are better and then maybe we'll
Speaker 3: give you something else. It's like, no, we don't. We're
Speaker 3: done working on your terms because they're bad. And if
Speaker 3: you think it's the worst time that you can wait,
Speaker 3: then clearly you're not in survival mode yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of us are. Yeah. And also
Speaker 2: what's wild too, is like I've heard this from other
Speaker 2: writers and stuff to like we've been on fucking like
Speaker 2: running off of fumes forever. So if they think they
Speaker 2: can wait us out good healthcare.
Speaker 3: And shit, you know, like fortunately I have, you know,
Speaker 3: set up enough where I feel I feel very comfortable
Speaker 3: to be able to like keep going. But it's like
Speaker 3: I got a job at a cafe. I'm driving uber
Speaker 3: like I'm very much like basing the reality that's been
Speaker 3: a long, hard battle. But to be honest, it's not
Speaker 3: like I was driving right before this, like you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. So it's like in the conditions gone
Speaker 3: here because of this, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's so wild to watch these fucking
Speaker 2: super powerful people and not know how to read the
Speaker 2: fucking room and understand like what across everywhere, Like you
Speaker 2: have people at fucking waffle house going on strike now
Speaker 2: and like all like it's this is where we're right
Speaker 2: now because these people who have sucked up all the
Speaker 2: fucking wealth failed to realize that the reason they are
Speaker 2: so rich is at the expense of everyone else. They
Speaker 2: think like this money is coming out of nowhere. It's
Speaker 2: like no, there's a direct line to your fucking greed
Speaker 2: and the shitty like living situations that many workers are experiencing,
Speaker 2: and they just can't they can't cross that bridge because
Speaker 2: they'd rather just be like, well, I'm a titan of
Speaker 2: industry and I'm creating jobs, and I don't feel bad
Speaker 2: that I'm getting twenty some million dollars.
Speaker 1: I'm creating jobs. They love to take credit for creating
Speaker 1: jobs that would exist.
Speaker 2: I don't argue the writers are creating We're.
Speaker 1: Just lucky to be the person in that fucking position.
Speaker 1: Someone was gonna do it, and you are like so
Speaker 1: easily replaceable. It's very frustrating.
Speaker 3: Also, half the time people create jobs. They're creating jobs
Speaker 3: that are like they're taking one job and then paying
Speaker 3: two people less. Yeah, that's happening a lot. Or like
Speaker 3: I know at NBC they would have like they would
Speaker 3: say the Page program. You know, they boasted like having
Speaker 3: a ninety percent like hiring rate or something to the company.
Speaker 3: But a lot of those were those contracts that were
Speaker 3: like one year contracts. So I mean, if you did well,
Speaker 3: I guess you would say. But there's just a natural
Speaker 3: turnover because physically there's not going to be that many
Speaker 3: job overing. So and every year they're gonna want to
Speaker 3: like bring in the new class. So that's how they
Speaker 3: create jobs. Oh we're hiring so many people because half
Speaker 3: of these jobs only last a year.
Speaker 2: Then you're on it's a job though. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 2: what they're saying. You know, it's a job though. And
Speaker 2: I think what's other what's interesting is that you hear
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not this is just the tactic, right,
Speaker 2: is so many of these studio heads and people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: these are unrealistic, like you know, to make this kind
Speaker 2: of money, these people are spoiled, and like really, what
Speaker 2: the whole thing that the writers and actors have been
Speaker 2: talking about is like a middle class lifestyle that they
Speaker 2: were able to have in the heyday before streaming and
Speaker 2: shit that they just want to return to that. But
Speaker 2: because our middle class is a fucking evaporating before our eyes.
Speaker 2: To most people, a middle class lifestyle would be like
Speaker 2: what where the fuck do you get off thinking you're
Speaker 2: gonna get those things? And now you can start like
Speaker 2: all this like infighting over what people deserve and you know,
Speaker 2: leverage other people's dissatisfaction. It's just very, very grim, And
Speaker 2: again I hope, I hope they fucking figure it out
Speaker 2: because the publicists now are screaming at the studios because
Speaker 2: if the strike goes, guess who you're not gonna see
Speaker 2: at any doing any Barbie Boppenheimer mission. Impossible, none of that. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: you cannot do anything with a company that is being
Speaker 2: like no, we don't fuck with them, So it's gonna
Speaker 2: I don't you know.
Speaker 1: I think we're in a phase right now where like,
Speaker 1: after you know, centuries, the idea that like people like
Speaker 1: what you earn and like what you deserve is like
Speaker 1: finally becoming like decoupled in people's minds and like like
Speaker 1: the mainstream American consciousness is a little bit like, no,
Speaker 1: it's bullshit, man, Like what the fuck you're talking about,
Speaker 1: But it is firmly in place in Bob Heiger's mind.
Speaker 1: It was firmly in place in mind of like all
Speaker 1: the studio executives and like all all these people who
Speaker 1: like go to leadership conferences to tell each other how
Speaker 1: fucking amazing they're like insights are and you know, like
Speaker 1: go to Google camp or some shit like that. They're
Speaker 1: just in these like small clouds of like individuals who
Speaker 1: all just like believe that they actually deserve to be
Speaker 1: at the heights that they are. Yeah, it's actually bullshit,
Speaker 1: and that it'll be interesting to see the process of
Speaker 1: that being punctured in the coming years, because it feels
Speaker 1: it feels like this is what like in this industry
Speaker 1: and others, that's what we're seeing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I do hope the cancel Christmas thing
Speaker 3: happens and that somehow the next act is the evangelical Christians.
Speaker 2: Are coming for the studios.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because they are very quite powerful, I hope.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm only saying this in a political sense.
Speaker 3: I mean, like this is not against Christians, but you
Speaker 3: know the ones that weaponize.
Speaker 2: The coalition of a yeah Christian. It gives people of
Speaker 2: good faith a bad name.
Speaker 3: To love them all, yeah, because they're not really I
Speaker 3: mean like you know, you know the people like you
Speaker 3: hate the brothers who funded the big coalitions of Christians.
Speaker 3: I hope they make their next thing like the look
Speaker 3: at Hollywood canceling Christmas.
Speaker 1: No, no, they will never do that. They don't mean
Speaker 1: that kind of Christmas. They just mean any anything that
Speaker 1: they can weaponize against, you know, LGBTQ plus community. Well
Speaker 1: as always such a pleasure having you on the podcast.
