Speaker 1: their body cams just openly talking about hunting protesters during

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: the George Floyd protests. Some direct quotes are talking about

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: how it's a nice change of tempo for officers to

11
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: be actively hunting people instead of just chasing them around.

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Another officer, apply fun these people. Minneapolis cops were ordered

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: to shoot non lethal rounds on quote the first fucker's

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,800

00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: they fired on a group of people in an unmarked

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: car and one of the people they were shooting at,

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,559

00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: and they're like, what the fun was you shooting at?

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, they are not announcing themselves, are

21
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: identifying themselves as law enforcement, and they're shooting out of

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: an unmarked car, Like, what the funk they think this

23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: is in the heat of yeah, you know, in a

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: moment where the country was talking about white supremacist violence

25
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: and ship like that, and yeah, but that guy was

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: recently acquitted, Yeah, just because yeah, what the funk? These

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: people are just these people, these sucking cops are just

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: gooning out like it's there's no laws there. There's the

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: video of the person out on their deck and they

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: just show exactly like I'm on my property, right, I'm

31
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: not outside. Yeah, there is a story about eighteen x

32
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: NBA players who are charged in a four million dollar

33
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: healthcare fraud scheme. These are people who are you know,

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Milt Pelasio was I think the first name on the

35
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: list that I saw, journeyman player, one of the nicest

36
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: dudes I've ever met. And you know, they got Tony Allen,

37
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: the six time All Defensive Team selection, won a championship

38
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: with the Celtics, and oh eight. So they're basically being

39
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: accused of defrauding the NBA healthcare system by like submitting

40
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: fake claims, and I am on their side. Fuck the

41
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: federal government and especially the FBI and whoever is bringing

42
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: these charges leave Milk alone. Three point nine. I mean,

43
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: come on, look at South Dakota point nine spread across

44
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: eighteen layers. Yeah, fuck you guys, man, that's that's not

45
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: even a quarter million per person. But you know, they

46
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: love to get a big, splashy name and uh attack

47
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: people of color. And meanwhile billionaires are just sheltering all

48
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: their money and stuff. I was gonna say, really cool

49
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: thing to just throw into the mix when we're looking

50
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: at unprecedented like leaks in the form of the Pandora papers,

51
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: and like putting a more of a focus on these

52
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: tax havens that we even have within our own United States. Yeah. Yeah, anyways,

53
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I hope I hope these guys get good lawyers and

54
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: uh get away with it. You know, I'm sure they've

55
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: learned their lesson from the man, but we know how

56
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: it can. Oh yeah, no, that b I. Once they

57
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: once they got you in their sights, they're on your ass.

58
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: A group of militant anti vaccine activists protested children walking

59
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: to school in Beverly Hills earlier this week. It was

60
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: National Walk to School Day. I don't know how the funk.

61
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: We missed that one miles. But they basically took this

62
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: as an opportunity to like yell at the kids because

63
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: they were like walking with their parents. They were like,

64
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: this is a target rich environment. Let's go shout at

65
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: some fucking kids. One notorious anti vax or screamed, they're

66
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: trying to rape our children with this poison. Which is

67
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: a cool thing for children to hear. I'm sure that

68
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: is uh. Courtesy of u Shiva Bagary, who is the

69
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: founder of the protest group Beverly Hills Freedom Rally, recently

70
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: caught on camera punching a cancer survivor while protesting a

71
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: mask mandate at a cancer clinic. And yeah, so they

72
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: confronted the parents and children from Hawthorne Elementary School as

73
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: they took part in National Walk School Day. Also in

74
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: attendance was Beverly Hills Mayor Robert Wonderlick, who proposed that

75
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: the representatives from the protest group meet him later in

76
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: the day and let the children walk to school in peace.

77
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: And they were like, fuck that fuck that, We're gonna

78
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: scream in these kids faces. Man, think of the children

79
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: right as I scream at them. Yeah, like people give

80
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: a fuck that's why it's so whatever. Alright, let's take

81
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll come back and talk about

82
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: spooky things. And we're back, and there's a hashtag going around,

83
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: hashtag scariest things when I was a kid, So there's

84
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: an opportunity, Miles, what what What were you scared of

85
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: as a kid. I might not be scared by anything.

86
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: So I had a couple had a recurring nightmare where

87
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: I was in the car with my parents and the

88
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: car took off with me in it, uh, and they

89
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: were like out of it, like because I think that

90
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: there was some part my brain that was like, maybe

91
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: it's not a good idea that they leave me in

92
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: the car while they like run into the store or

93
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: something like they're like, okay, we'll be right back, and

94
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: the car just goes and the car just takes off, yeah,

95
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: and starts driving around. So that was one recurring nightmare

96
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: I had. I had a recurring nightmare where I did

97
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: drugs or was forshed to do drugs. I remember that

98
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: somebody and one of my dreams came up to me

99
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: and like cut my thumb with a razor blade and

100
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: like poured cocaine on the cut, and I was like

101
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: oh no, and I like started to die immediately. I

102
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: got blow thumb yeah because of their brave enough to

103
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: share those and show us how much of an upstanding

104
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: child on it that just like it truly warms my

105
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: heart to know that your fear was someone getting drugs

106
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: on you and then diec did it? Did it to me?

107
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: And my dad always say, y'all, don't listen to her

108
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: for her man, they're wild. Um. For me, it was

109
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: pools that the light was off, like like I remember

110
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: my grandparents had a pool, and like I hated nights

111
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: swimming and if the pool, if the light was not

112
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: on that ship fun. Hell no, I'm not getting eaten

113
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: by Jaws and that fucking thing if I can't see

114
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: what if I can't see in it? That RM song

115
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: is like the Jaws theme to you, it's like you're

116
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: like night swimming. Fuck you no, no, no, not now? Uh.

117
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: And then just like the dark was really like my

118
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: big thing as a kid. If she got too dark,

119
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: like I would immediately just be like in a fight

120
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: or flight like kind of thing, like like what's going on?

121
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Shout out to my uncles and grandfather who would really

122
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: get a kick out of turning the lights and making

123
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: me terrified. Um, but now I love the darkness. I

124
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: embraced the darkness, you know. I realized I was actually

125
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: born in the darkness, you know, and then others just

126
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: merely play around in it. I also had this thing,

127
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: and I'm curious. I don't think I've ever mentioned this

128
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: on a podcast, but there was this like blonde haired

129
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: guy with black like triangles around his eyes, almost like

130
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: a raccoon, that like I just had in my mind

131
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: that was like sort of this like demon figure that

132
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: I would always like picture outside my window or like

133
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: around the corner or something. Um, just very like almost

134
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: like the blonde guy from die Hard. If uh he

135
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: was a raccoon. But uh, I don't. I don't know

136
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: if that was. I don't know where it came from.

137
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it was like something in a cartoon or something.

138
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: But um, if anybody else had either that or like

139
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: a very specific like scary person that their mind created,

140
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to hear about that. I mean it

141
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: sounds like Jack, you were just so aware of like

142
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: global oppression that you were seeing two all seeing eyes

143
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: on this body that represented the arians and you were like,

144
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: oh my god, system of white supremacy abounds those trianglized

145
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you talking about the all seeing Yeah, Illuminati?

146
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: Umn know, alright, Chappelle is trending. His latest special came

147
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: out and has become sort of a culture war thing.

148
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: So that's just controversial culture war in that conservatives are

149
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: now flocking to Dave Chappelle and suddenly you're like, oh

150
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: my god, yes he's our guy. But you know, I'm

151
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: not familiar with much of his other material it relates

152
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: to race. So in this very narrow context, we're pro Chappelle.

153
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, he just had a whole chunk of just

154
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: just absurd, regressive, uh, transphobic jokes, um, you know, saying

155
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: some ship like you know, like I was, I was

156
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: dragged on Twitter for for especially by trans people. He's like,

157
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: but I don't you have a fux. Twitter is not

158
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: a real place. And he's like, they called me a

159
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: turf or whatever I said. They call JK Rolling a

160
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: turf And he's like, and I don't. And he's like,

161
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a you know, that's the thing

162
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: that trans people do is just to make up words

163
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: to win arguments. And you're like, Jesus what are you

164
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: fucking saying right now? Uh? And it just goes on

165
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: to be like gender is a fact, and he's like

166
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: his whole ship just like smacked of guy who has

167
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: he clearly has not moved past two thousand six maybe

168
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: and has sees no reason to re examine any of

169
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: his beliefs as it relates to this, because like, for

170
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: as much as he talks about it, but you know,

171
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: he can be so right about a lot of other things,

172
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: or his comedy can be so poignant about when it

173
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: comes to as it relates to other things. But for

174
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: the last few specials he's chosen to like keep going

175
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: back to this well, and it's really dumb, it's violent.

176
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: It's like, you know a lot of people are like

177
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: for all this ship that you talk about for liberation

178
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: of black people, like are you just erasing black trans

179
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: completely from your ideology or what you think liberation looks like?

180
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: And you know, uh, quickly, the Joe Rogan set of

181
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: comedy fans like not do this just go dude, Like

182
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: that's just like there's just edgy man, Like he's just

183
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: saying something that like it's true what you can't handle

184
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: it well? And you know, what's funny is like what

185
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: people do is like, if you're a racist or you're

186
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: a homophobe, you'll get into these things where you're you

187
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: look at the the reckoning that occurs with being so

188
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: out there with your your just offensive beliefs, Like when

189
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: there's a response to it, they use that as like, see,

190
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: it's just proving the point. It's just proving the point.

191
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: It's actually proving the point that you are in fact

192
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: racist or homophobic, and you're just willing to you just

193
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: want to rationalize it in a different way to make

194
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: it so that you are a fixed point who doesn't

195
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: need to change, and others are just sort of acting

196
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: bizarre unfair towards you. Yeah. Yeah, And this has come

197
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: after he started kicking it with Joe Rogan and like

198
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: being part of that set um. Yeah, I mean they

199
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, the defending Luis c k. He's he's had

200
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: a he's had he's had many off ramp points for

201
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: fans along the way here, and it's and it's wild

202
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: because I really liked his early material, but like to

203
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: just see someone that I would think was so intelligent

204
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: just be like, oh, like, dude, are fucking values do

205
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: not align? At all, Like this is fucked up and

206
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, so a lot of people are you know,

207
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: voicing their displeasure with it um while many others are

208
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, act as if transphobia like isn't

209
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: like a terrible thing and actually has violent outcomes for

210
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: real people in the world. He's also doing like a

211
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: thing that I've seen ruined narcissists careers, where they start

212
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: focusing only on criticisms they get um and like that's

213
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: all they talk about, and it sends them down the

214
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: spiral where they're like just talking about ship that like

215
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: people don't really want to hear them talk about because

216
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,359
Speaker 1: I think they're just so they are obsessed with defending

217
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: their themselves. But they're like, oh no, they're this this

218
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: defense is actually you're bringing in the back hole and

219
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: you're digging the ditch even deeper for yourself with every

220
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: stupid thing. And you know, uh, Producer Ryan I were

221
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: talking before too, like he doesn't his stand up is

222
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: just so different now to like it went from like

223
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: what a traditional sort of stand up thing, not that

224
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: there are rules to it, but like in these last

225
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: few specials, it just seemed like this old guy holding court. Yeah,

226
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: and like, these are my observations, and some people like it,

227
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: other people definitely don't. I've also enjoyed some of the

228
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: tweets from other comedians, like Curtis Cook tweeted, my greatest

229
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: Hollywood aspiration is to get so successful that my friends

230
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: become my employees. Don't stop feeling comfortable telling me to

231
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: shut the funk up. Some of my word suffers, but

232
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: the audience has already invested too much and me to

233
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: walk away, so they call me brilliant instead of sad.

234
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: And Bill him Booster tweeted, once you're rich, you shouldn't

235
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: be allowed to do stand up anymore unless you get

236
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: a terminal illness or burned in a fire, and even

237
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: then it's questionable. But yeah, I mean, and and for

238
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: people who just want to be like, it's just edgy comedy, No,

239
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: that's it's such a disingenuous defense to it, because you're

240
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: completely disconnecting the fact that jokes like this are just

241
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: normalizing certain you know, discriminatory behavior or phobias that only

242
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: leads to ship spiraling out of control in real life.

243
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: So you're like, oh, it's just a joke, Like relax

244
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: if you think that's funny. Then there's then there's I

245
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: have a fundamental issue with what you think is funny

246
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: and it's not just a joke, and it actually says

247
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: a lot about who you are as a person rather

248
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: than like what can you handle as a joke and

249
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: it's wild. You know, you'll learn a lot based on

250
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: the kinds of quote unquote jokes you see people defend

251
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: because should I put some people to bed being like

252
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: trying to act like dumb, fucking racist jokes about black

253
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: people can slide like, no, that's fucking nonsense, it's violent,

254
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that you just are going to rely

255
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: on it's just a joke, like relax, people can say

256
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: what they want. Well, that's different because from your position,

257
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: you probably aren't in a position to experience the oppression

258
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: or violence that comes along with being in a certain group,

259
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: and so you know, people have to I don't know,

260
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: that's just part of growing up, is like you started

261
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: realizing now, actually it's shit, is fucking not not funny. Yeah,

262
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: as you as I heard you say, not everyone makes it,

263
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, not everyone's gonna Yeah, you don't take everybody

264
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: with you on this path to growth, Like that's people

265
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: you admire on TV and media and your friend groups

266
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: are like, I mean, sho, I'm going through that right now.

267
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: I think many people are, especially as it relates to

268
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: the pandemic and the uprisings last summer and a lot

269
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: of people I was like, Okay, well, you know what,

270
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't have time for this, because that's that you're

271
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: You're a You're a person who has actually invested it

272
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: in something I'm trying to push back against. Well, unfortunately,

273
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: I think Twitter has all the solved. They have announced

274
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: another feature, uh that nobody asked for that isn't moderating

275
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: hate speech. But so we all remember Fleets, no one

276
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: asked for it, they died, And they've announced another feature

277
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: that I don't I don't think anyone was asking for

278
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: on the app, basically a vibe check on a thread. Yeah,

279
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: they're like, do you ever wonder You're like, oh, look

280
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: at this, there's a lot of action. Maybe I'll put

281
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: my take in here. And essentially they're saying, this is

282
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: from their description quote ever want to know the vibe

283
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: of a conversation before you join in. We're testing prompts

284
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: on Android and iOS. They give you a heads up

285
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: if the combo you're about to enter could get heated

286
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: or intense. This is a work in progress as we

287
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: learn how to better support healthy conversation. So this is

288
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: like an example where as if like you were about

289
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: to tweet some dumb ship like agenda is a fact

290
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: or some nonsense. A great example of m tech and

291
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: social media knowing that they have a responsibility and doing

292
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: like the bare convincing themselves that they are doing something.

293
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: I'll help them with prompts rather than taking away a

294
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: cess pit for them to gather around, so heads up

295
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: will come up. Quote heads up. Conversation like this can

296
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: be intense. This is under a tweets said let's look

297
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: out for each other, and then it'll have three bullet

298
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: points to keep in mind before you have like tap

299
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: through to like actually tweets something is one remember the

300
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: human communicating with respect makes Twitter better. To facts matter,

301
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: Checking the facts help everyone. I mean that one is

302
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: so amazing that they're just going to solve disinformation by

303
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: being like facts matter, checking the facts help everyone. Yeah, right,

304
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: that's like that's like some like like kindergarten teacher who's

305
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: like I I I'll solve the Middle East plant like problems.

306
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: End me to Israel and I'll go, come on, every

307
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: come on, now, come on like that. That's honestly, that

308
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: may be more effective. But anyway they're saying the fact matter.

309
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: And then third, diverse perspectives have value. Discovering new perspectives

310
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: can strengthen your own. I mean that's clearly for someone

311
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: who's ignorant. Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean because if I'm

312
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: looking at this and it's some racist ship, I'm not

313
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: gonna go, oh ship, yeah this, this diverse perspective on

314
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: someone praying for my downfall, is actually that can strengthen

315
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: my own perspective. Yeah, put it out there. What if

316
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: this is what what supremisss the Nazis needed? They were like,

317
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: oh ship, wait a second, y'all remember the human but

318
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: maybe let's not do this instead of doing something that

319
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: would actually be effective, you right, exactly, like you know,

320
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: getting Nazis off the platform. Um, but hey, when when

321
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: one dumb idea at a time, I guess for Jack

322
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: Dors and yeah, there aren't many details about like what

323
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: this thing is going to do aside from this very

324
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: vague example because like a lot of people like, well,

325
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: what happens if she's getting ratio? Like will you know

326
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: if you're going into like a positively ratio tweet a

327
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: negatively ratio tweet, how will it like? What? What is

328
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: it using to determine how to alert someone? So yeah,

329
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: all right, well those are the things that are trending

330
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,119
