Speaker 3: It tastes just like it too. Like I was shocked.
Speaker 3: And when I went back to Trader Joe's trying to
Speaker 3: get it again, they didn't have it. But the lady
Speaker 3: pointed me to the seasoning that they have that they
Speaker 3: used for the popcorn, and the seasoning is called everything
Speaker 3: but the Leftovers, and I think they have that year round,
Speaker 3: not positive and it's fiself. You've had that one.
Speaker 1: I have put it on popcorn.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is, so you had it less.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, we're learning a lot. We're learning a lot
Speaker 1: about each other. Where are you on the you know,
Speaker 1: like the tins of popcorn that you would get at
Speaker 1: the mall.
Speaker 3: I love a good tin of popcorn. I'm not mad.
Speaker 3: I'm not a super sweet popcorn girly, but I do
Speaker 3: like when they mix the like white cheddar carmel or
Speaker 3: something fire. My mom is also from Chicago, and Chicago
Speaker 3: has like this big thing around.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but what's the what's the spot?
Speaker 3: Like I can't remember the name. What's the name?

Speaker 2: get the tub of the three.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, your mom's from Chicago, she is a right,
Speaker 1: is your dad from Chicago?
Speaker 3: No, my dad's from Alabama.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. See it's interesting, like because my grandparents came
Speaker 1: out from Chicago to l A. There's like there's always
Speaker 1: there's always that poll happening. I think it was mostly
Speaker 1: the Second World War that did that from our grandparents.
Speaker 1: But do it. But anyway, so we will get to
Speaker 1: know you and your love of popcorns and other things
Speaker 1: much better. But first we've got to tell people, give
Speaker 1: them a light preview as to what we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about today. We're talking about what is going on
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump's hands. You probably on Twitter, and everyone's
Speaker 1: like he's got symphilists or it's you know, he's playing
Speaker 1: too much PlayStation. We will, we will dive into this
Speaker 1: because I don't think it's but we have James Carville
Speaker 1: to thank thank for that, the Raging cajun uh and
Speaker 1: former Clinton advisor. Also in just other just very obviously
Speaker 1: culturally significant news. We must discuss whatever the fuck is
Speaker 1: going on in this new Jennifer Lopez movie.
Speaker 3: We must.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I saw the trailer. I like to think
Speaker 1: I have good sort of visual comprehension, but I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if I can like adequately describe what this is.
Speaker 1: So we will. We will take that journey together and
Speaker 1: try and figure out, using our combined intellectual strength to
Speaker 1: decode whatever that trailer was.
Speaker 2: Then mails you you saying that I wish you were
Speaker 2: describing like Made in Manhattan too, or something like just
Speaker 2: the most.
Speaker 1: Of what was it? Marry me, marry me? Say yes,
Speaker 1: what was that?
Speaker 5: Was that?
Speaker 1: Was that?
Speaker 6: Mo?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Dude, I don't know why I watch every like
Speaker 1: when Jaylo puts something out, I fucking watch it. I
Speaker 1: don't know what right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a lot of people feel that way about
Speaker 3: her acting roles yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, but it's not even I don't know what
Speaker 1: the thing is. I'm like, i gotta respect it. I
Speaker 1: think it's because she was Selena, and I'm like ever
Speaker 1: since then, I'm like, you know what, j Loo, I
Speaker 1: don't know why. I'm gonna watch everything, even straight to
Speaker 1: Peacock movie.
Speaker 3: Black people love Selena Mile so.
Speaker 1: Oh hell exactly, and also like West Coast, like West
Speaker 1: Coast no matter what, but especially like for black people
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, you know what time it is
Speaker 1: with Selena, So we got it. We gotta shout out Selena.
Speaker 1: But then we'll also talking about this conservative Michael Knowles.
Speaker 1: He's so smart that he actually proved that white people
Speaker 1: are incapable of seeing race. He's figured it out. He
Speaker 1: has the proof, or he will just very in bad
Speaker 1: faith misinterpret survey and say that's what it is. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that plenty more. We might even talk
Speaker 1: about Blue Monday, which is like this thing that happens
Speaker 1: in the UK and sometimes we see it over here
Speaker 1: and what is going on with that.
Speaker 6: It just turns out it's a sales thing. But we'll
Speaker 6: get into that plenty more. But first, Sekoya be Holmes.
Speaker 6: We must ask you, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: Okay, I recently searched Billie Eilish and Renee rapped together
Speaker 3: in a photo because I have a hard time believing
Speaker 3: that's not the same person. Tell me that's not the
Speaker 3: same person. It is the same human being at a
Speaker 3: baseline related And.
Speaker 1: Don't you appear that they're their cousins?
Speaker 3: Right, I'm I get improved of that. So is it
Speaker 3: on the firm theory?
Speaker 1: What do you think it? Is it the head shape
Speaker 1: because that's where I feel like they've with their blonde hair,
Speaker 1: the way their hair falls and their head face shape.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, that's we're an eyelish territory.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's the whole middle part of their face. It's
Speaker 3: really the whole face. But it's something about the eyes.
Speaker 3: They both have these kind of like not dead behind
Speaker 3: the eyes, but a little like they've seen some things
Speaker 3: behind the eyes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't have that look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you know?
Speaker 2: It almost feels like they're both characters in a movie
Speaker 2: where it's twins swapping lives or something, you know, a.
Speaker 3: Parent trap from them that would be so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. She also like I would believe if she was
Speaker 1: related to Pink too.
Speaker 3: Oh, I could definitely see that. Yeah, yeah, I can
Speaker 3: see that too. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: But what are we? Are we putting another or should
Speaker 1: we put the conspiracy theory out there now that they
Speaker 1: are one and the same?
Speaker 3: I do think I will until I see them together.
Speaker 3: You can't tell me otherwise.
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, I like that. What this again? Maybe
Speaker 1: we just start a podcast about that called how come
Speaker 1: billion renee and in the same photo? Ever?
Speaker 3: Why not put him together?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: Put me wrong?
Speaker 1: Also? Oh, I forgot to ask, don't were you on
Speaker 1: since you had Haley from Paramour on your.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've been on.
Speaker 1: I don't think I was fucking geeking when I saw
Speaker 1: that ship. Than I was like that, yeah, blown the
Speaker 1: fuck away, and it sounded like you had such a
Speaker 1: good time. I'm I just wanted to I just wanted
Speaker 1: to point that out that I saw that. I thought
Speaker 1: it was great. It gave me excitement and in a
Speaker 1: way that I don't think I ever have.
Speaker 3: I was so excited to post it.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, were sitting were you sitting on
Speaker 1: that for a minute?
Speaker 3: For a minute, it was very hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I've ever sat on a picture
Speaker 1: like that, Like I hope to one day be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, posters ship.
Speaker 3: Come on. I couldn't even sleep. I woke up at
Speaker 3: like five am like posting it.
Speaker 1: Yeah right now for the East Coast, they got it.
Speaker 1: People people in the GMT Greenwich meantime also love Paramore,
Speaker 1: so you might as them at that time. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: got it. What's something that you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Coldstone Creamery is the most overrated ice cream chain among them,
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 1: Go on, what is it about it? What are we saying?
Speaker 3: It's so rich? Cold Stone is so rich. The flavor
Speaker 3: combinations are not interesting or original, and it's just kind
Speaker 3: of gross, Like it tastes like I'm eating cheese, and
Speaker 3: we know I don't like cheese. I'll talk about this
Speaker 3: on the first episode. I don't like cheese, and it
Speaker 3: tastes like I'm eating cheese. Every time.
Speaker 6: I like.
Speaker 2: I like that you've covered the anti cold Stone and
Speaker 2: then with the even bigger take of anti cheese, that's
Speaker 2: like just escalating. Yeah, just the fucking attacking me, Like
Speaker 2: it tastes like cheese.
Speaker 3: I don't want to eat that.
Speaker 1: Okay, then what's the superior ice cream for you? Like,
Speaker 1: if you're saying get that out of the way, allow
Speaker 1: me to introduce you, or we should be embracing this place.
Speaker 3: I'm a Jenny's ice cream girly. I think that's in
Speaker 3: different spots in the US, not as pervasive as a cult.
Speaker 3: So I also love Hoggandaws. Hoggan Das has fallen out
Speaker 3: of public grace recently or public I don't know this
Speaker 3: public in general. Yeah, I like Hoggandas.
Speaker 1: It's great. Yeah, hoggingized because like the whole thing was
Speaker 1: like it was based on like a fake like the
Speaker 1: mirage of it being this fancy ice cream place. But
Speaker 1: the people were just like, what can we name this
Speaker 1: shit to make people think this ship is fucking fancy?
Speaker 1: They said, And.
Speaker 3: They got my ass cause yeah, I'll stay with a
Speaker 3: little pine of Hoganas and the freezer is good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jenny's has some good I mean Jenny's. I feel
Speaker 1: like they have nationwide distribution now, like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, it is on my grocery stores and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because whenever I see it, I'm like, oh shit, okay,
Speaker 1: what about you? Yeah, Alex, you got where were you
Speaker 1: in on this ice cream? Debate.
Speaker 2: I had never thought about my opinion of Coldstone, and
Speaker 2: I think I don't like it that much either, because
Speaker 2: I'm not that at a toppings on ice cream, and
Speaker 2: then they're all processes sort of toppings all over, and
Speaker 2: I don't really need that my toppings. The ice cream
Speaker 2: is so good already.
Speaker 1: It's wild because.
Speaker 3: Ice cream is good, but it's not at colds. That's
Speaker 3: what I have to lean on the top things.
Speaker 1: This is the thing, the one when I would I
Speaker 1: used to work when I worked at this laser tag
Speaker 1: place back in high school and college doing like kids birthdays.
Speaker 1: The spot was above a Coldstone, and so I would
Speaker 1: go down there and I would trade like laser tags
Speaker 1: and ship with like the people that worked at the
Speaker 1: cold Stone. They're like, oh, let me hook you up.
Speaker 1: I was like, please, don't. I just want I just
Speaker 1: want the sweet cream ice cream on its own, like
Speaker 1: that was the only thing I ate there. I did
Speaker 1: not like they would be like, oh, you're gonna try
Speaker 1: the apple pie all the mode. I'm like, I do not.
Speaker 1: Please listen to me when I say you're hooking me
Speaker 1: up by just giving me a big ass cup of
Speaker 1: sweet cream ice cream. That's hard Yeah, that's it. That's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not so difficult, is it. Yeah, Jenny's got it.
Speaker 1: What's the one that I fucking I'm absolutely in love with?
Speaker 1: Over there's a sweet buttercake, gooey buttercake.
Speaker 3: Oh oh at Jenny's. Yes, the buttercake wanted Jenny's. Yes,
Speaker 3: Their salty kramel is my favorite. It's so good. It's
Speaker 3: perfect Jenny's.
Speaker 1: And we're looking, We're willing to look past the listeria
Speaker 1: scare that you had a few years ago. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, come to the show. I remember it
Speaker 1: pull on and itone was like, no, our favorite place.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's just eat around it, eat around the
Speaker 1: listeia on the Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you said that, I suddenly imagined it being
Speaker 2: Jenny's fault. Personally, I don't know who Jenny is just wrapped.
Speaker 2: Was like seeing something into the ice cream. That was
Speaker 2: the story one of the Desperate Housewives living on Listeria
Speaker 2: Lane or wherever the no are you are? You wasn't
Speaker 2: their shit called wisteriasia?
Speaker 3: That sounds right with Yeah?
Speaker 1: Anyway, Sorry, that was a bad you know what, I'll
Speaker 1: see myself out I'm doing Desperate Housewives references in the
Speaker 1: Year of Our Lord twenty twenty four, because I fell
Speaker 1: for it. It's clear what is something you think is
Speaker 1: under rated?
Speaker 3: We're gonna stick with the ice cream theme here, or
Speaker 3: a frozen yogurt de general, a simple tart flavored frozen
Speaker 3: yogurt or a plane vanilla ice cream is so superior.
Speaker 1: And if you have.
Speaker 3: Those done well, you don't need all the bells and
Speaker 3: whistles that everybody's doing right now.
Speaker 1: Yep, who's your what's your who's your favorite tart, frozen
Speaker 1: yogurt or ice cream?
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm pretty indifferent. I can get it
Speaker 3: from Yogurtland. I could do tooty fruity, I could do
Speaker 3: pink berry, I could do pretty much anything with a
Speaker 3: tart frozen yogurt. I haven't seen that messed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's good, becaus got that little yogurty bite to it,
Speaker 1: just a.
Speaker 3: Little, a little pucker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good. It reminds you of like when I could,
Speaker 1: like my mom wouldn't buy me like snack pack or
Speaker 1: like chocolate pudding at the storage, Like you should be yogurt.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, there's no fucker sugar in here. But
Speaker 1: I'll but like, that's all I could get down on
Speaker 1: so once. I remember when Pink Brery came out. I
Speaker 1: was like, again, I'll just eat this. Yep, no topic.
Speaker 3: I feel like if you regular yogurt in the freezer,
Speaker 3: is it frozen yogurt? Or is there something special about
Speaker 3: frozen yoga? Is it not just yogurt?
Speaker 1: What is it? I don't know, I don't know how
Speaker 1: they make it.
Speaker 2: I'm realizing this. It's always just been a ministry except
Speaker 2: and I pulled the handle. It's probably good.
Speaker 1: Alex, are you a topping guy? Are you a simple
Speaker 1: pleasures guy? Because I know obviously you don't like your
Speaker 1: popcorn simple? Do you like yogurt? Simple? Hey?
Speaker 2: I think I'm very excited that I'm finding all three
Speaker 2: of us are so on the team of simple dessert,
Speaker 2: and like, make dessert just one thing. When you're having dessert,
Speaker 2: just do it well, like I even the holl like
Speaker 2: winter always reminds me that I don't like agnog very
Speaker 2: much because I don't need dessert to also be alcohol
Speaker 2: Like I can just have a tea.
Speaker 1: Breaking up alcohol. The flavor fucking goes.
Speaker 3: I don't even put alcohol mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the flavor go I will eat the ice cream.
Speaker 1: We were doing so fucking well, missus.
Speaker 3: This past year, I found a ice cream sandwich that
Speaker 3: had eggnog in the middle. It was an eggnog ice
Speaker 3: cream sandwich.
Speaker 1: But now sounds pretty good. Where was that at?
Speaker 3: It was at like Raups or Bonds, one of those
Speaker 3: main grocery store chains. It was the signature Selects brand
Speaker 3: by the groceryore chain brand. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes sometimes they don't miss they understand our simple
Speaker 1: palettes that were little babies. They just want to drink
Speaker 1: and have yogurt all day. All right, Well, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a break, we're gonna come back, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into some just hard hitting those like just Trump
Speaker 1: half syphilis right after.
Speaker 4: This and we're back.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure some of you have probably heard of
Speaker 1: this this or luckily maybe some of you have are
Speaker 1: doing the good thing and not ending a lot of
Speaker 1: time on social media. But there is a picture of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump that was really just doing the rounds on
Speaker 1: the internet on Thursday, or on Wednesday going into Thursday
Speaker 1: as well, where he was just leaving the courtroom where
Speaker 1: he was absolutely having a fit. We'll probably touch on
Speaker 1: that next week and was just giving just a wave
Speaker 1: to the supporters and the reporters, and someone took a
Speaker 1: photo of this and on his right hand, not unlike
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old's yearbook photo, it was covered in
Speaker 1: red splotches, and people were like, what is going on
Speaker 1: with his hands? People online joke that he said the
Speaker 1: red spots could be everything from most McDonald's catch up,
Speaker 1: because you know he loves McDonald's to red ink from
Speaker 1: top secret documents. But then the word syphilis started trending
Speaker 1: on social media, and if you clicked it, you're like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? And it all basically, it
Speaker 1: seems like it all comes from an unverified claim made
Speaker 1: by James Cavell, the Rageingcajun who loved to just talk
Speaker 1: a lot of smoke about Donald Trump, and on his
Speaker 1: live Cash show he said this about the photo. He said,
Speaker 1: they don't look like cuts to me. They look like sores.
Speaker 1: And if I've asked a number of mds what medical
Speaker 1: condition manifested itself through hand source, and the answer is
Speaker 1: immediate and unanimous secondary syphilists, I said, what the secondary syphilis?
Speaker 1: He also said, maybe the picture was doctored or whatever.
Speaker 1: Maybe the story will go somewhere. Maybe it won't. It's like, okay, sir,
Speaker 1: first of all, you can't just I know you want
Speaker 1: to just be saying this ship, but this is not
Speaker 1: journalism at all. Maybe it was doctor or whatever, and
Speaker 1: maybe it'll go somewhere that I'm saying out loud that
Speaker 1: this is simbilist whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mean, he's not going to get the Pulitzer
Speaker 2: for guessing about hands.
Speaker 1: Was not going to get that word. Oh, And I'm
Speaker 1: just I don't what is secondary syphilis.
Speaker 3: I would imagine my theory on what secondary syphlis is.
Speaker 3: That's real, right, and that manifest you know we're listen,
Speaker 3: usually manifest I don't just wear on your drunk and
Speaker 3: then if you're Donald Trump and you tug it often,
Speaker 3: where does it go? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so that's what that's my theory. Yeah, syphilis.
Speaker 1: There's just there's too much going on. And that was
Speaker 1: so specific. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a generalized infection.
Speaker 1: It's characterized by systemic symptoms and intimation and very infections.
Speaker 1: Okay whatever. All that to say is when I look
Speaker 1: at that, I'm like, as much as I want to be, like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: carbo fucking nailed it. This dude has syphilis and it's
Speaker 1: on his hand. That's like that's where everything goes. But
Speaker 1: like everything, like so many people like started talking about
Speaker 1: this that like other like news outlets were like based
Speaker 1: on this syphilis claim, Like they were reaching out to
Speaker 1: dermatologists to be like what is it, like what could
Speaker 1: be going on? And most people were saying, like it's
Speaker 1: probably a rash caused by like overwashing, which makes sense.
Speaker 1: We know Trump is like a germophobe. I honestly think
Speaker 1: it's from golfing. That looks like where it is like
Speaker 1: on your hand, that's from just swinging a golf club
Speaker 1: all the time. Like that looks like a friction injury.
Speaker 1: Is Again, look, I'm not here to defend Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and his hands and whatever the fuck, But it's just
Speaker 1: like the people were getting so giddy about the syphilist
Speaker 1: thing is just a little too much for me. Like real,
Speaker 1: he's playing so much fucking golf and he sucks. He's
Speaker 1: probably his techniques by all fucked up. That he's got
Speaker 1: a lot of blissties, Okay, Yeah, And I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are giving like this sort of clap
Speaker 1: theory a lot more weight, mostly because of Trump's love
Speaker 1: of not ever making sense when he's speaking out loud,
Speaker 1: and they're like, look got to his brains man, And
Speaker 1: people claim I was like, it's his mental deterioration due
Speaker 1: to the syphilists. It could also be because he's old
Speaker 1: and highly inarticulate. But here a lot of people are saying, like,
Speaker 1: because recently he said this, I'm just gonna play this
Speaker 1: clip where he started talking about banks, but then it
Speaker 1: became about something else. I try and follow along with
Speaker 1: whatever Donald Trump's was saying here in New Hampshire. But
Speaker 1: we're also going to play strong protections to stop banks
Speaker 1: and regulators from trying to de bank you from your.
Speaker 3: You know, your your political beliefs.
Speaker 1: What they do, they want.
Speaker 3: To dbank you, and we're going to d bank think
Speaker 3: of this.
Speaker 7: They want to take away your rights, they want to
Speaker 7: take away your country.
Speaker 1: The things you're doing.
Speaker 2: All electric cars, give me a break if you want
Speaker 2: an electric rugget, but they don't go far.
Speaker 1: They're very expensive, they're going to be made. They're like
Speaker 1: boom siphilist someone.
Speaker 2: I feel like someone taught him the word debunk and
Speaker 2: then he's just messing it up.
Speaker 3: Oh is that what he's trying to say D bank?
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know, or he's starting off right. He
Speaker 1: said he wants to play strong protections. I think this
Speaker 1: is a culture war thing to stop banks and regulators
Speaker 1: from debanking you, because that's like like financially deplatforming, like
Speaker 1: hate sites or people who are involved in hate speech.
Speaker 1: You see where they're like, oh, okay, this bank will
Speaker 1: no longer bank with me, or I can't sell my
Speaker 1: like kkk fucking like T shirts with this they don't
Speaker 1: want to do any of my consumer like transactional banking.
Speaker 1: I think that's what he meant, because that's what it's like,
Speaker 1: tod D bank you from your political that's they want
Speaker 1: to and we're going to D bank. Think it is
Speaker 1: they're taking away your country. It's like I think it
Speaker 1: always end up. Yeah, I mean, I think that's where
Speaker 1: it's like. And then maybe reflexively just went into like
Speaker 1: just you know, doing the raw ra like let's get
Speaker 1: all angry about the fact that America is a diverse place,
Speaker 1: it felt, but then electric car then he did electric cars.
Speaker 1: Hit us with electric cars.
Speaker 3: That's why I really got less lost. I don't understand
Speaker 3: how do we get here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if his flow is caused by syphilis, he's
Speaker 2: had syphilis for his entire life, yeah, seeing it on
Speaker 2: his hands, right right, Yeah, we think we've always just
Speaker 2: called it Trump jazz.
Speaker 1: That's just what he does. It's like like and then
Speaker 1: he just changes up to something else, and now he's
Speaker 1: just like playing in a completely different key, and you
Speaker 1: got to follow along with all the changes. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, James Carvill, as much as I like to
Speaker 1: say that, you you know you I like to you
Speaker 1: know that Donald Trump and Lord and snake nipples. Maybe
Speaker 1: there's a different explanation here for his blisters, which it
Speaker 1: might look like, but who knows.
Speaker 2: Let's it's I feel like it's such a media literacy thing,
Speaker 2: like in broadly, people just need to know that if
Speaker 2: a story sounds way way too exciting and good too,
Speaker 2: that's the story you check the most. If you're thrilled
Speaker 2: about Donald Trump suddenly having weird public syphilis, it's probably
Speaker 2: it's probably too much of a treat. We're back to
Speaker 2: talking about dessert, you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1: New flavor from Jenny's secondary Ciffy with with I'm not
Speaker 1: even won't even described. Yeah, I won't even describe that,
Speaker 1: but we get it and the like it's true, Alex.
Speaker 1: Like I think a lot of people like with anything,
Speaker 1: when you're when your confirmation bias is set to a
Speaker 1: certain direction or a certain flow of things, narratively speaking,
Speaker 1: all you need is something that like sort of begins
Speaker 1: to intersect with that to be like, yeah, dude, he's
Speaker 1: got simplest all over his hands. Man, he's losing his mind.
Speaker 1: It's like, relax. I know you don't want him to
Speaker 1: be president, but like, let's maybe focus on other things.
Speaker 1: I might feel more substantive than just be like it's
Speaker 1: the same my last Yeah, well, let's focus our energy
Speaker 1: on something truly confounding more than Donald Trump's hand. Source.
Speaker 1: The trailer for Jennifer Lopez's new Amazon Prime movie just
Speaker 1: hit the internet, and uh huh is was my first reaction.
Speaker 1: It's called This is Me Now, a love Story, and
Speaker 1: it's also the name of her new album, which also
Speaker 1: comes out the same day. So are we doing a
Speaker 1: lemonade type thing here? J Lo? Is that what this is?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: I'm that's I have to I have to. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the pieces and I'm trying to put
Speaker 1: the information together to try and make sense of this,
Speaker 1: or is this a musical? Is it a feature length
Speaker 1: Gucci ad because that's what I also suspect. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: how much money Gucci put it on this, because there
Speaker 1: is so much Gucci in that trailer. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: like we get it, Like you either sponsored by Gucci
Speaker 1: or they're sponsoring this whole thing, but nobody seems to
Speaker 1: be sure. One person on Twitter said that the plot
Speaker 1: was seemingly about quote a sex addict who works in
Speaker 1: a nuclear post apocalyptic factory, which kind of tracks visually.
Speaker 3: Visually like where are we? What's happening?
Speaker 1: Good? What do we like? The open, like the trailer
Speaker 1: open says with a credit that says the movie is
Speaker 1: from the Heart, Soul and Dreams of Jennifer like from
Speaker 1: the Heart Stolen Dreams of Jennifer Lopez. I'm like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: go on, like what is this about? And it seems
Speaker 1: very dark then, but then it plays like a like
Speaker 1: a calm or something. But they say she's a sex
Speaker 1: addict and she's getting married too much, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what what what do you think? What is going
Speaker 1: on here? Or what were the most confusing parts for
Speaker 1: you guys watching this whole thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, the genre is the most confusing part. Like,
Speaker 3: I don't even know. I don't know if this is scripted.
Speaker 3: I'm positive that is scripted, but like it's not super
Speaker 3: clear immediately. I don't know if it's a musical. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's feature length. I literally don't know anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Alex, what you you You're smarter than most
Speaker 1: people would. What is this about it?
Speaker 2: It's she has like a double heart shape cut out
Speaker 2: in a wedding dress.
Speaker 1: That was kind of cool.
Speaker 2: I was sort of looking for the nuclear factory or
Speaker 2: whatever after reading that. I don't know if I totally
Speaker 2: got that vibe from the trailer. Maybe it's kind of
Speaker 2: a the city as a character kind of thing, like
Speaker 2: it's just in the background of the film. I don't
Speaker 2: I really don't understand that that big title of from
Speaker 2: the Dreams of Jennifer Lopez. I feel like somebody at
Speaker 2: least kind of knows this is out of control.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's it, And maybe maybe Jlo stopped smoking
Speaker 1: weed and her dreams got so wild. She's like, y'all,
Speaker 1: I figured out my lemonade. So everybody says, I'm a
Speaker 1: sex addict. But then I'm getting married to three different dudes,
Speaker 1: because you know how I like to get married. And
Speaker 1: then I'm playing. I'm dancing on a basketball court, but
Speaker 1: then I have a has matched suit on in a
Speaker 1: steampunk industrial complex where I'm also performing with the other. Right,
Speaker 1: It's I don't know, but it's intriguing. I'm intrigued. I
Speaker 1: want to know more. When you look at the people
Speaker 1: and they say like starring Fat Joe, Trevor Nor Trevor, Noah, Kim,
Speaker 1: Petris Post Malone, Keiky Palmer, Sophia Vergara, Jennifer Lewis, Jay Shetty,
Speaker 1: Neil de Grasse, Tyson, Sad Duru from the Dude from
Speaker 1: YouTube doing all the spiritual shit, dere Derek Huff and
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck. I was like, Okay, you lost me again.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not sure because there's like also these moments
Speaker 1: where she it looks like she's like on somehow, like
Speaker 1: ripping the fabric of space time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, it gives like really big Disney Channel original movie
Speaker 3: with the with the budget like a high school musical production.
Speaker 3: Big budget though meets Interstellar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the visual effects are like they don't look
Speaker 1: cheap at all. They like, they don't look yanky, like
Speaker 1: it would be one thing. I was like, this looks
Speaker 1: jank and like them like, there's a lot of money
Speaker 1: in this. And I think I think Lacey Moseley was
Speaker 1: she was She was saying something on Twitter about it.
Speaker 1: How they're like, look, she just went in there and
Speaker 1: said like all this wild shit and they just bought
Speaker 1: it in the room like they didn't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: They're like, yep, we're all in on this. We love
Speaker 1: it so much, Jlo, we love it. Jennifer Greenlit, how
Speaker 1: much money do you need? Okay, forty million dollars.
Speaker 3: That's the wife I want to have to. I admire that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I have to say, this does seem like some shit
Speaker 3: that I would do was just zy off the wall.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna sing and I'm gonna dance and it's gonna
Speaker 3: be my thing in my life story. I get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's totally like That's what throws me off is
Speaker 1: like there's some really dark visuals along with stuff that
Speaker 1: is like so pop, like not even like pop music,
Speaker 1: like popular culture like rom com like Sleepless and Seattle
Speaker 1: type stuff. But then like you said, we go to
Speaker 1: Interstellar and I'm like, I whatever, I'm probably watch it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: I think I think yeah.
Speaker 2: Is the is the problem here that Jennifer Lopez is
Speaker 2: too talented? Like that opens up so many avenues for
Speaker 2: what this can be, Like like she can dance and
Speaker 2: sing and do fashion and do like five genres of movies,
Speaker 2: So we don't know what this is.
Speaker 3: Sing I don't know if she can't she.
Speaker 1: Does, she does. She definitely can.
Speaker 3: Dance, right, she can dances, she does sing, so you
Speaker 3: could put a outfit together, but right she.
Speaker 1: Visual artists like that. That's where I'm a little bit like,
Speaker 1: I'm I don't I did not know. Let's let's see,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to say, oh, I did not know that about you,
Speaker 1: j Low, that you were a visionary because I just
Speaker 1: need to be a very talented performer, But I did
Speaker 1: not know. This is art? Do we think? And Sekoy,
Speaker 1: I know you recoiled a bit. Is she trying to
Speaker 1: get in the lane of some of these other artists
Speaker 1: like Beyonce who are like you thought it was just
Speaker 1: singing and dancing. I'm on fucking you thought. I'm seeing
Speaker 1: art in five dimensions. That's why I'm ripping the fabric
Speaker 1: of space time talking to Neil de Gross.
Speaker 3: Come along for the ride. I don't think she's trying
Speaker 3: to do that. It get it kind of seems like
Speaker 3: she's in on the joke, or they're in on the joke.
Speaker 3: Based on the from the dreams of Jennifer Lopez. That
Speaker 3: kind of makes me feel like you're in on the joke.
Speaker 3: There was no joke when it came to Lemonade. We
Speaker 3: was not giggling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was serious, right right, right, But that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, what could you like, do you think
Speaker 1: this could even have like a bit of like winking
Speaker 1: at the audience, like I know, this is kind of fun.
Speaker 3: I do you do really? I hope I really do
Speaker 3: think that.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, what if it is? What if that's like
Speaker 1: what you think is it?
Speaker 3: If it's executed well enough, I think she could pull it.
Speaker 3: I think she can pull it off and execute.
Speaker 1: It well enough. Okay, Okay, thank yeah, Well we'll have
Speaker 1: to have some art critics on to really examine this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: further because I.
Speaker 3: Love a good musical now singing and dancing and a
Speaker 3: number I'm in. So I'm already wanting you to win.
Speaker 3: J Low, please come through for me.
Speaker 1: She's I mean, how old is j Loo? She's again?
Speaker 1: I think she's like fifty Lopez. Come on, now, what
Speaker 1: are we talking here? At fifty four? Let him know, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: let him know.
Speaker 3: Halfway to sixty eating the girls?
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, Jennifer, Man, I'm just talking. Is it
Speaker 1: the I mean, it's it's genetics and obscene wealth that
Speaker 1: I think you like in a time machine like that.
Speaker 1: We're like, I don't know, stress. I mean, I haven't
Speaker 1: had a driver look me in my eye since nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty eight. Yep. So from that aspect, I think that
Speaker 1: was someone was saying that, right, was Jennifer, Like someone
Speaker 1: was driving Jennifer Lopez around and like they couldn't look
Speaker 1: her in the eye kind of thing. Like that was
Speaker 1: for real, Like.
Speaker 3: Why do so many celebrities have the note that people
Speaker 3: can't look them in the eye?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Are they okay?
Speaker 1: Or is that like an urban legend.
Speaker 3: I've heard the story from about a number of people.
Speaker 1: Now about Jaylor not looking at the eye.
Speaker 3: Know about celebrities don't want to be looked in the eye.
Speaker 3: I remember when Ellen didn't want to be looked in
Speaker 3: the eye. Oh yeah, and there's one other one that
Speaker 3: was notable that was like, don't look at me.
Speaker 1: Right Why, Alex, do you think the looking in the
Speaker 1: eye could be like our confirmation biased with Trump syphilis?
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, I believe that Ellen don't want to
Speaker 1: look in the eye. You know what I mean? Thinking
Speaker 1: they're too good for eye contact or is there a
Speaker 1: real thing to be like? I don't know. They just
Speaker 1: don't fuck with eye contact from workers.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's an evolution of celeelebrity's simply wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 2: Now they're like sunglasses are for plebeians. I tell people
Speaker 2: to not observe that, right, I don't have to wear sunglasses.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to cover them. You're just gonna not
Speaker 3: right then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm high as fuck.
Speaker 3: Do not look at me right now? I can believe that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's really like I got some stuff going on. Don't
Speaker 3: look over here.
Speaker 1: I get like, but yeah, but it's such a flex
Speaker 1: where you're like, I don't need sunglasses. Those motherfuckers just
Speaker 1: shouldn't look in my direction? How about that just my face?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, because I'm mean, y'all are not.
Speaker 1: All right? Well? Yeah, zang? Let us know what do
Speaker 1: you think this is going to be a comedy? Do
Speaker 1: you think? Or not comedy? But do you think it's
Speaker 1: going to be somewhat tongue in cheek? Is this her
Speaker 1: pushing her boat out to be just a complete, like
Speaker 1: you know, visionary and doing a whole new lane. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Is it a Gucci ad? That's the other part.
Speaker 1: I know Gucci had to have funded some dimension of
Speaker 1: this part of camp. I just cannot believe that there's
Speaker 1: I was hit with so much Gucci iconography and they
Speaker 1: don't have something to this shit.
Speaker 2: So it would it would be fantastic if this turned
Speaker 2: out to somehow be like thirty seconds long, even though
Speaker 2: the trains figure like like that, it's truly just a commercial,
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 1: Trailer was right?
Speaker 3: Does this come out on April first? What is the
Speaker 3: when is the date?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: Right? And I think it comes out in February? Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean but who knows? Yeah, But she pushes it back,
Speaker 1: She's like, actually, I have to push the release back
Speaker 1: to March March thirty second, right, second, are there thirty
Speaker 1: one days in March? Yeah? That's right. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: see yeah, I knew that. See that joke landed. All right,
Speaker 1: let's move on to something a little more confounding, aggravating,
Speaker 1: but also so predictable. So right now, I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of your conservatives, they're loving to do this
Speaker 1: thing right now is to pretend that America has no
Speaker 1: history of racism or is currently having a contentious battle
Speaker 1: with the history of racism of the United States. We
Speaker 1: have people like Vivic Ramaswami Nikki Hayley going around saying
Speaker 1: things like America was never racist except a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago when they were very racist to me as
Speaker 1: being the only Sikh Indian family in this town in
Speaker 1: South Carolina. But after that, there has been no racism
Speaker 1: aside from Chattle slavery and other things like that or
Speaker 1: manifest destiny, and there was no racism during the trailft
Speaker 1: Tiers and things like that, and then the genocide of
Speaker 1: Indigenous people and taking the land, and aside from that,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people are bashing our history. Just
Speaker 1: makes no sense. And then people like Charlie Kirk are
Speaker 1: trying to take down like the contributions to people like
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King, just like the latest conservative tactic, which
Speaker 1: is again to be like racism was never a thing
Speaker 1: in order to because I think the long game here is, like,
Speaker 1: from what I'm seeing, is that to attack the Civil
Speaker 1: Rights Act and then say, if there was no racism
Speaker 1: to begin with, there was actually no need to have
Speaker 1: all these weird protections for marginalized people the Civil Rights Act.
Speaker 1: And I think we need to rethink that because we
Speaker 1: were never and now look what it's doing. He's just
Speaker 1: causing all these problems. You see what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: Michael Knowles is a contributor over at The Daily Wire
Speaker 1: and he is mostly known for his violent homophobia. But
Speaker 1: this week he decided to talk about another thing he
Speaker 1: knows absolutely nothing about, which is race, and he's saying
Speaker 1: he can now prove through social science one of the
Speaker 1: most beloved tropes of racist politicians, which is I don't
Speaker 1: see race. I just I'm unable to see race at all.
Speaker 1: The way he gets into the story is because the
Speaker 1: new coach of the New England Patriots is a black
Speaker 1: man and he was talking about He's like, I absolutely
Speaker 1: do see race because it affects people very deeply, So
Speaker 1: I do. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit up
Speaker 1: here and say I don't see race, like I absolutely do.
Speaker 1: But for the reasons I'm saying, it's to not discount
Speaker 1: people's experiences as being on the margins of society or
Speaker 1: being part of a minority group. So that's sort of
Speaker 1: his inroad into sort of this next really wild quote
Speaker 1: you're about to hear from him, where he breaks down.
Speaker 1: He's like, I just don't understand white like, white people
Speaker 1: just truly don't see race. I don't think y'all get it.
Speaker 1: But here he is, in his own words.
Speaker 5: White people are the only people who do not see color.
Speaker 5: Inasmuch as that phrase means anything at all, I don't
Speaker 5: see color, don't The only people for whom that is
Speaker 5: true is white people.
Speaker 2: What the only people for.
Speaker 5: Whom that has been true ever in the whole history
Speaker 5: of the world is white people. This is very clear
Speaker 5: from modern social science when you ask people their racial consciousness.
Speaker 5: When you ask people, hey, is race, is your race somewhat?
Speaker 5: Were very important to you? Every racial group other than
Speaker 5: white people is above fifty percent Asians, Hispanics. For black
Speaker 5: people it's above seventy percent. What's the number for white people? Fifteen?
Speaker 5: White people have zero racial consciousness fifteen percent. I guess
Speaker 5: they don't. They really don't see color. Everyone else does
Speaker 5: and everyone else has for all of history, which is
Speaker 5: how we've ended up in a situation today where white
Speaker 5: people are the only group that you can discriminate against
Speaker 5: by law and according to the more rays of society.
Speaker 1: Woo wooo, Michael Noles Alex, do you have anything to say.
Speaker 2: Like, even even if if any of it was true,
Speaker 2: it didn't make sense on its own. Thing Like he said,
Speaker 2: it was zero white people, but also fifteen percent white
Speaker 2: people at least one or something right, And how would
Speaker 2: either of those? I I just can't stand it when
Speaker 2: people invoke a phrase like the whole history of the
Speaker 2: world and then don't cite anything.
Speaker 1: Well, this is the wild, wild right, because to start
Speaker 1: he is he's this Pew research study that came out
Speaker 1: during Black History Month, I think like two years ago,
Speaker 1: and it was talking about the importance of like racial
Speaker 1: identity and how how important it is for like, especially
Speaker 1: black people, black Americans feeling a connection to a larger group,
Speaker 1: like a larger culture that that is that connection is
Speaker 1: vis a vis race, and like their the the culture
Speaker 1: of blackness. And then they then they go down and
Speaker 1: compare that with like Hispanics with Asians, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: it was about there again they're feelings of connection to
Speaker 1: their larger community and consider like he's completely leaving out
Speaker 1: the part that this is about people that are living
Speaker 1: in America, okay, because this is a majority white country
Speaker 1: with many people coming here, whether through coercion, economic or
Speaker 1: straight up just being like go get your ass over here,
Speaker 1: get on this boat. Like that's that's that's that's a
Speaker 1: very specific dimension to sort of look at rather than
Speaker 1: like being like all these people are like they're they're
Speaker 1: like their whole thing, like race matters so much to
Speaker 1: these people, Like they can tell your race. Like that's
Speaker 1: how he's trying to make it look like and say,
Speaker 1: like for white people, that's just not a thing, and
Speaker 1: you're comp what's glowing me.
Speaker 3: Is he's saying race matters. The study was determining if
Speaker 3: your own race matters to you, not other people's race
Speaker 3: fucking matters. Make it make sense? What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: You're not even talking about things. And if this proves nothing,
Speaker 3: this proves that white people see themselves as raceless, right,
Speaker 3: not that they don't see other people's race. And the
Speaker 3: reason that they see themselves as racist because they are
Speaker 3: the dominant race, so they don't have to be othered.
Speaker 3: They are not othered.
Speaker 7: And never mind, that's it, that's that's not well no,
Speaker 7: but truly to your point, Michael, it's called hegemony. Okay,
Speaker 7: people's whiteness typically is not has not mattered because it
Speaker 7: isn't an obstacle for them to live happy.
Speaker 1: That's the fuck why. It's not because white people are
Speaker 1: like the people that respond to in this survey were like,
Speaker 1: I don't see race. It's just a different a completely
Speaker 1: different experience. And like when you completely leave out the
Speaker 1: part of like what the experience is for people who
Speaker 1: are not white cis head Christian people in this country,
Speaker 1: A lot of these other things matter a lot because
Speaker 1: they've typically been presented to you as a reason for
Speaker 1: you to not get a raise, or to not get
Speaker 1: an opportunity, or the reason why people don't want to
Speaker 1: sit with you or be friends with you and shit
Speaker 1: like that. So it's a very very like wild to
Speaker 1: just like look at that and just in such bad faith,
Speaker 1: Like you see what I'm talking about. Fifteen percent don't
Speaker 1: even see race.
Speaker 3: It's like he's illiterate, Like words don't mean things to him,
Speaker 3: Like he read those words and decided that they didn't
Speaker 3: mean what the word means, right, they mean something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like you know again, this is like
Speaker 1: why this like information landscape is so bad right now,
Speaker 1: is that you have people, because there are people there
Speaker 1: are going to be white people who listen to this
Speaker 1: who are like probably beginning to have some kind of
Speaker 1: feeling of like interrogating or inspecting or having some introspection
Speaker 1: about like race, and it's like has like it doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: like does it is it bad that I'm white? Am
Speaker 1: I bad for being white?
Speaker 3: Or something?
Speaker 1: And you have people who just want to like dead
Speaker 1: any kind of real thought there and just be like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: stop stop stop stop stop. They're trying to make you
Speaker 1: feel bad because you're white and the DEI stuff that's
Speaker 1: gonna make planes crash. Just please stop thinking it's a
Speaker 1: thing to consider. These people are just haters, right, and
Speaker 1: you just need to get past that because guess what
Speaker 1: we don't see we're actually like, here's a study to
Speaker 1: help you stay in your place of no growth. Is
Speaker 1: we're actually like one of the like the only people
Speaker 1: on earth were it doesn't matter. And I think, and
Speaker 1: that's what bothers people is that we honestly we're just
Speaker 1: not even capable of having race matter. And that's what Yeah,
Speaker 1: slippery slop, slippery slope. Yeah, I am. I'm so curious.
Speaker 2: About this guy's like coworkers as his right wing billionaire
Speaker 2: funded content.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 2: Do they think he's just doing kind of what the
Speaker 2: rest of them do for work or is he really
Speaker 2: going even beyond what they say when they when they
Speaker 2: log into the office.
Speaker 1: I mean, this feels this feels like part and parcel
Speaker 1: of what you hear in conservative media in general, which
Speaker 1: is to always dismiss the idea of racism because if
Speaker 1: racism doesn't exist, then we never have to take people
Speaker 1: seriously when they say racism is an issue sol because
Speaker 1: if you begin to entertain someone's criticism or someone's observation
Speaker 1: analysis about a society, then you would have to begin
Speaker 1: to engage with that. But they don't even want to
Speaker 1: begin to engage with that because they saw what happened
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Some people are like, oh, man, like
Speaker 1: should I read a book or something. They're like, I
Speaker 1: don't read far in the book. They're fucking tripping. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're tripping. That's it. And it sounds like the kind
Speaker 1: of shit that like people when they have like bad
Speaker 1: friends who like, you know, for example, like if you
Speaker 1: drinking or doing a lot of drugs and you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm actually thinking about like doing lesson Like oh really,
Speaker 1: oh so you better than us? No, I'll do that, bro.
Speaker 1: The people that are telling you you got a problem,
Speaker 1: they're haters, bro. They're haters, and they want to keep
Speaker 1: you at the same level. They don't want people going
Speaker 1: whatever outside of that way of thinking. So it's always
Speaker 1: good for them to just be like neutralize any kind
Speaker 1: of critical thought with this thought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, thoughtt.
Speaker 1: Killer, here's a thought killer. We're incapable of it, and
Speaker 1: racism doesn't exist. I don't know why people keep saying this, y'all.
Speaker 3: This is so wild to me that don't you know,
Speaker 3: social science disproves that, don't you know social science?
Speaker 1: Right? And then they can go and say that at
Speaker 1: you know, the next like local gathering of people, and
Speaker 1: they'd be like, well, I believe that's actually we're incapable,
Speaker 1: and someone's gonna people are gonna be parroting this shit
Speaker 1: straight back to someone who's trying to actually make a point.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and then I'll make it to the R
Speaker 3: and C stage, and then it'll become more mainstream and
Speaker 3: then yeah, well fucked.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, which is wild because with Nikki Haley
Speaker 1: being like, oh, you know, like racism doesn't exist or whatever,
Speaker 1: I guess Donald Trump has started calling her by her
Speaker 1: given name, Nimroda, to begin to turn up the heat
Speaker 1: on her, to be like, just so you'll know she's
Speaker 1: not white, she is she is Indian. Yeah, you're like people, it's.
Speaker 3: Just see nicky, watch your motherfucking mouth, watch your mouth
Speaker 3: look at.
Speaker 1: Don't don't get cozy with them, don't be Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I understand the feeling that to be in the N
Speaker 1: group might feel like it's safe. But the second you
Speaker 1: are a fucking obstacle or they just need you're too
Speaker 1: much for them, They're gonna fucking throw your ass out.
Speaker 1: Just like I was talking about Vivid Ramaswami on the
Speaker 1: Babylon B which is like the conservative, shitty version of
Speaker 1: the onion. They're already making jokes that they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be working the the White House seven to eleven.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be his job in the administration. And you're like,
Speaker 1: look at how they they're already doing your bro like they.
Speaker 8: Don't see race though, what is that based on? It's
Speaker 8: based on the Simpsons, That's what I thought. Yeah, this
Speaker 8: is I have a Simpsons I have a Simpsons based
Speaker 8: actually philosophy.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, a.
Speaker 2: Joke is good if the Simpsons did it and was
Speaker 2: not even the first to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, truly. Yeah, so Michael Knowles, you're trying it.
Speaker 1: But again, I think this is important to see, like
Speaker 1: this is this is the kind of mental conditioning inoculation
Speaker 1: that they're doing on the conservative side, because again, I'm honestly,
Speaker 1: there's so much talk about being like the Civil Rights Act. Man,
Speaker 1: if we can just get that out of the way,
Speaker 1: and you're like, holy shit, like don't yet, You're scaring me.
Speaker 3: I literally did not know that this is going on.
Speaker 1: I'm terrified people are. I hear this more and more
Speaker 1: and more, like when I'm reading conservative shit or like
Speaker 1: looking at their little fucking video podcast and ship. There's
Speaker 1: like this real like that's why Charlie Kirk spent so
Speaker 1: much time with the help of this black man to
Speaker 1: be like, here, black man, can you tell everybody why
Speaker 1: MLK was actually bad? And like just you know, drag
Speaker 1: his name through the dirt and you know, that way
Speaker 1: we can just prove this point that everything that he
Speaker 1: was trying to do was actually bad. Therefore the civil
Speaker 1: rights struggle was just for not like it was just
Speaker 1: all a waste of time.
Speaker 3: It's dangerous dangers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I give that two yikes. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take another break and we'll come back to talk about
Speaker 1: Blue Monday. And I wish we were talking about the
Speaker 1: New Order song, but we're not. But we'll be back
Speaker 1: after this. And we're back. And after I made that
Speaker 1: New Order joke by about Blue Monday, I was like,
Speaker 1: what was that band like in the late nineties or
Speaker 1: odds that covered it and kind of brought this song back.
Speaker 1: And my younger esteemed guests were like, a, sir, are
Speaker 1: you talking about de banking? What's on your hands? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it was this band. They brought the
Speaker 1: whole wave back. It was Orgy and shout out to
Speaker 1: my geriatric millennials and older who remember when Orgy brought
Speaker 1: the Blue Monday song or blue New Damn New Order
Speaker 1: song Blue Monday back. All that to say, we need
Speaker 1: to talk about blue Monday, the capitalist hoax that continues
Speaker 1: to persist. I wasn't fully aware of this as a concept.
Speaker 1: Did you guys know about blue Monday at all? Alex?
Speaker 1: What about you?
Speaker 2: I've heard that phrase, but I think it's mostly because
Speaker 2: of Kurt Vonnegut's writing. He's referencing like an advertising concept
Speaker 2: for washing machines.
Speaker 1: Right, you can beat.
Speaker 2: Blue Monday by having easier laundry to do in like
Speaker 2: the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 1: Ah well, again along that similar vein. Apparently, like this
Speaker 1: is something that's really big in like Europe, mostly the UK,
Speaker 1: and in Canada as well. They've heard tell of blue Monday.
Speaker 1: But apparently it is the third Monday in January and
Speaker 1: it is known as quote the most depressing day of
Speaker 1: the year. And I'm like, what what does that exactly mean? Like,
Speaker 1: here's headlines from the Standard in the UK Blue Monday
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. When is blue Monday and how to
Speaker 1: beat it? Another headline, it's officially the most depressing day
Speaker 1: of the year. An expert offers some tips to lift
Speaker 1: the gloom on Blue Monday. Blue Monday is coming up.
Speaker 1: Are you prepared for the most depressing day of the year.
Speaker 1: So we had it. I didn't realize it was the
Speaker 1: most I guess that MLKA day for us was Blue Monday. Yes,
Speaker 1: to get him out here, I know, because I'm surprised
Speaker 1: there wasn't, like, oh coincidence much that Blue Monday is
Speaker 1: also Martin Luther King Day, the most depressing day for
Speaker 1: white people. Right, So they're saying, are you prepared? I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: So what is going on now? Some of these outlets
Speaker 1: do admit that there is no actual scientific evidence to
Speaker 1: back up this premise, this concept of blue Monday, but
Speaker 1: also not all of them call out the fact that
Speaker 1: Blue Monday is just a straight up scale. You're getting bamboozled.
Speaker 1: The culprit, perhaps is late stage capitalism. This pseudo scientific
Speaker 1: reasoning why behind why quote blue Monday is so depressing
Speaker 1: involves like this actual I mean actual. I only say
Speaker 1: that because there are like equations like it looks like
Speaker 1: a math equation, a legit looking mathematical equation which equates
Speaker 1: things like debt motivation, weather, and the time that's elapsed
Speaker 1: since Christmas as a way to determine that, like to
Speaker 1: quantify that this is the most depressing day. But even
Speaker 1: anyone anyone who like looks at this for like one moment,
Speaker 1: you'll realize, like, how the fuck can you even compute this?
Speaker 1: Because there aren't even like shared units of measurement, Like
Speaker 1: how do you compare? It's like saying, Okay, a large
Speaker 1: pizza times a GDP of Brazil equals that Mickey Rooney
Speaker 1: is actually Billie Eilish's grandfather. Yeah, and you're like asymmetric
Speaker 1: sads or imperial sads. I can't figure right, right, how
Speaker 1: do we measure the depress and whose unit are we using?
Speaker 1: And I guess the inventor of this equation was a
Speaker 1: guy named doctor Cliff Arnall who was hired by a
Speaker 1: fucking travel company, sky Travel they're defunct now, back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and five to basically just contribute to a
Speaker 1: press release, and they wanted to sell people on the
Speaker 1: idea that there is a most depressing day of the year,
Speaker 1: which would then inspire the consumer to consume and to
Speaker 1: book a vacation. Thanks to sky Travel, bringing this all
Speaker 1: to light and he kind of has like some credibility
Speaker 1: to back up these claims. He's like, yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: I was a Cardiff University psychologist. But then pretty quickly
Speaker 1: the Cardiff University was like, no, this dude was a
Speaker 1: quote former part time tutor. Like let's not get this
Speaker 1: like fucked up. Like he was not, that's not what
Speaker 1: he was doing. And he later tried to walk back
Speaker 1: this great cultural myth that he created by saying it
Speaker 1: was never his quote intention to make January even worse
Speaker 1: for people, and and he even admitted the idea of
Speaker 1: blue Monday was not particularly helpful. But guess what that
Speaker 1: fucking apology was part of another commercial campaign for a
Speaker 1: travel company, Virgin Atlantic. Please keep fucking with this guy.
Speaker 1: They said the campaign will encourage the nation to dispel
Speaker 1: their Blue Monday beliefs and instead embrace the new possibilities.
Speaker 1: Then another year can hold possibilities like traveling to Thailand
Speaker 1: or Vietnam or South America. It's just like one of those. Really,
Speaker 1: it's just super cynical when you're just like kind of
Speaker 1: like using this idea that, yeah, winter's hard for people
Speaker 1: coming out of the holidays, it's hard for people having
Speaker 1: resolutions and like trying to stick to those can lead
Speaker 1: to people being demotivated. But then to be like, damn,
Speaker 1: book your package holiday with us. Why check out mark
Speaker 1: Bella Spain. It's absolutely popping. And the time he also
Speaker 1: he supposedly cracked the formula for the happiest day of
Speaker 1: the year. He said, oh yeah, I'm doing that now,
Speaker 1: because he pivoted to saying he was a freelance happiness guru,
Speaker 1: which sounds like me when I was just like dating
Speaker 1: a bunch of people and smoking weeds and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like a whoa, what do I do? I'm like a
Speaker 1: freelance happiness It's.
Speaker 3: Like a vibees curator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly exactly. But and for some reason I kind
Speaker 1: of respect a ViBe's curator more than a freelance. I
Speaker 1: think it's just the wording. Is this mora with our times? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Guru's bad? Guru?
Speaker 1: Yeah bad? Overall, we have too many gus, especially on
Speaker 1: social media.
Speaker 2: Yeah, vibes curator, you can say you're a VC. That's
Speaker 2: kind of nice.
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, yeah we should be see are.
Speaker 1: You are you a vibe curator? Do you do you?
Speaker 3: I like to think so absolutely. I definitely do curate vibes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I think the same way if I'm having
Speaker 1: you know, like a like a gathering, or somebody's like
Speaker 1: being like, oh, like I want to have like a dinner,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, what do you like? What are you thinking?
Speaker 1: Like you don't have a spread? Is it gonna be
Speaker 1: like a spread? You want to bounty for people? Do
Speaker 1: people bring in their own thing? Do you want to
Speaker 1: just have it so your guests are like blown away
Speaker 1: by hospitality? Is it a group effort? I feel it
Speaker 1: could be me overthinking. Maybe that's a ViBe's curator.
Speaker 3: A little bit, you know, a little type a, a
Speaker 3: little overthinking. But nobody I like that though. I also
Speaker 3: like the host like that, so I feel it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I love can I For the record,
Speaker 1: I love a spread same when people put it spread out.
Speaker 1: There is nothing that blows me more away than somebody
Speaker 1: who's like you thought of all these other things just
Speaker 1: to put out here for this little gathering. Like these
Speaker 1: are fine meats, maybe not cheeses, No cheeses for me,
Speaker 1: but yogurt flavored ice creams and popcorn? What's your spraceges
Speaker 1: to me? Frozen yogurt and popcorn es fro yo right there.
Speaker 3: Popcorn you some cheese it some gold thing?
Speaker 1: Oh oh you cheese it?
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, I like a cheeseseing okay, yes, but
Speaker 3: not cheese flavor blast. Yeah, I like the flavor blasts.
Speaker 1: Okay, Goldfish flavor blast are the great. Yeah yeah, the
Speaker 1: more the better. Okay, all right, I'm just making sure,
Speaker 1: just making sure. Are you a vibe curator? Would you
Speaker 1: do you see yourself as a vibe curator? Alex?
Speaker 2: I think maybe, I don't know if I aspired to it.
Speaker 2: I think I try to participate, you know, but I'm
Speaker 2: not a big spread builder. I'm more of a spread
Speaker 2: supporter or like, oh good job, keep it up.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. That's also but that is good.
Speaker 1: You are contributing to the vibes in a positive way.
Speaker 1: Vibe Yeah, yeah, yeah, vibes contributor. These are all contribute,
Speaker 1: consume or be a connoisseur or a curator. Either way,
Speaker 1: you do, you do what you gotta do. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the reason why, like blue Monday, it just like sticks
Speaker 1: around like apparently all like in so much marketing people
Speaker 1: are still using it as like a fucking being Like hey, man,
Speaker 1: like you want to buy fucking Big Mac, but I
Speaker 1: get the fucking Vibe meal and ship or I think
Speaker 1: a Burger king that a Vibe meal anyway, But it
Speaker 1: seems like the calm might be working because last year
Speaker 1: in the United Kingdom, online sales are probably reportedly shot
Speaker 1: up by eighteen percent on Blue Monday because of all
Speaker 1: this shit like oh yeah, like like it's wild how
Speaker 1: you can get in people's minds, right, like in America
Speaker 1: Black Friday, Cyber Monday, it's like, yeah, you better buy
Speaker 1: some shit. Don't be fucking stupid fucking around Black Friday,
Speaker 1: you fucking dumb man, Go fucking buy something you don't
Speaker 1: fucking need because that weird mobile phone charger, uh costs
Speaker 1: like half off now, like I don't and look at me.
Speaker 1: I bought one, but I use it sparingly, sparingly, but
Speaker 1: like I try to, I try to. And then like
Speaker 1: so it's wild that like they're using this thing of
Speaker 1: like weaponizing people's own like mental health or like seasonal
Speaker 1: affected disorder or whatever, like just to be like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gloomy to be like you know what will fucking
Speaker 1: help you to buy some shit?
Speaker 3: Man? That is so ugly? Yeah, I don't appreciate being
Speaker 3: manipulated like that. This is so ugly.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, what are they gonna do, like deal
Speaker 1: with root causes of people's feelings of loneliness, So support
Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical industry if we have to do. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: Oh what I'm gonna do? Pay real wages? No, no,
Speaker 1: it's blue Monday. Okay, did you did you? Did you
Speaker 1: buy that? Whatever?
Speaker 3: The fuck?
Speaker 1: Did you buy that? Stanley Monk? Okay, right, yeah, did
Speaker 1: you guys are Stanley oh Man? Yeah.
Speaker 2: It also just feels fake that it would be a
Speaker 2: Monday specifically is the saddest day, Like what, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Tuesdays can be harder, and it just I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I think Tuesday's Monday's, like
Speaker 1: I get it, like just because it's the first day back.
Speaker 1: But Tuesdays you're like, fuck, bro, it's only like you
Speaker 1: do this. You're like, it's only fucking Tuesday. The other
Speaker 1: part Monday, you know, You're like, it's fucking Monday. But
Speaker 1: Tuesday you're like, fuck no, there's Wednesday, Thursday.
