Speaker 1: Handwriting's like it's it's the best interpretation. It's not like
Speaker 1: frillly or anything. It's just like when when the man
Speaker 1: puts the pen somewhere he meant to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can, I think any like writing it
Speaker 2: and that like analysts would be like you are putting
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on that pen, like I'm digging

Speaker 3: about the next sentence already and would like to get
Speaker 3: it on the page. Please.
Speaker 2: Do you have like do you have like hybrid cursive
Speaker 2: printing handwriting? Because you know how people like when I
Speaker 2: hear people who write fast, all is envisioned like that
Speaker 2: hybrid cursive while also is that you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little a lot of letters I've just
Speaker 3: trained to run together in something like normal. They're not
Speaker 3: the shape of a cursive letter. But I'm not looked
Speaker 3: at a pencil. Who's got the time?
Speaker 2: Right? Right? Right?
Speaker 3: I'm busy.
Speaker 1: I will show you a to do list that has
Speaker 1: my handwriting on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just taking notes about what a guest
Speaker 3: needs to know on this stained book. I feel like
Speaker 3: even backwards, you know that that's exactly what it would
Speaker 3: look like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rush, this is a to do list that I
Speaker 1: discovered while cleaning out my closet from over I think
Speaker 1: probably two years ago. I've accomplished half of the things
Speaker 1: on this.
Speaker 3: You didn't specify what it needs multiple mountains, but one
Speaker 3: of the one of the items on the to do
Speaker 3: list is just havana syndrome.
Speaker 2: Get to a bottom of just HOWI on the list?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 3: Can I ask how how long? And you been writing
Speaker 3: a list before you were like what I got to
Speaker 3: get on here?
Speaker 1: Three? Four or five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten? Item syndrome?
Speaker 1: Just enough, said future self, or you know what this means? Shit, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's like shitty memento. It's like what havana syndrome?
Speaker 2: Figure it out?
Speaker 1: Figure it out? Solve the jfk assassination Havana syndrome?
Speaker 2: What else? On the climate change area fifty One.
Speaker 3: Of my favorite jokes in the world. Sean King wrote
Speaker 3: himself so he would remember it because he knew he
Speaker 3: was not in a state to remember it when it
Speaker 3: occurred to him at the time. And it is a
Speaker 3: list of soy cheese names that make me laugh like
Speaker 3: like a like I hear that, I've heard that. I
Speaker 3: request that joke anytime I can make Sean Kin do
Speaker 3: it for me. And when next time you talked to
Speaker 3: comedian Shawn Key and I or listen to him.
Speaker 1: I highly encouraged that.
Speaker 3: You shout out soy cheeses. I will just cite my
Speaker 3: favorite Monterey John.
Speaker 2: The best thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: John.
Speaker 3: But that was in a note he left himself and
Speaker 3: discovered the meaning of which I'm so thankful he retained.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine just opening your phone to see the
Speaker 3: phrase Monterey John and having no no frame of reference? Well,
Speaker 3: are you thinking? Why has this been written? What past
Speaker 3: self decided that that was a necessary note? I remain,
Speaker 3: ever thankful that Sean held on to just enough shreds
Speaker 3: of that memory to put together one of my favorite
Speaker 3: pieces of stand up material of all time.
Speaker 1: It also relies on a knowledge that Jack is a
Speaker 1: nickname for John, which the majority of the United States
Speaker 1: does not have. I will I will have you know
Speaker 1: as somebody who is a born John who goes by
Speaker 1: Jack most people, I guess, why the hell do you
Speaker 1: do that? That can?
Speaker 3: That's for a derivative? I can go so many ways, Katie,
Speaker 3: that whatever? Cat? Yeah, I just can't stop starting with cats.
Speaker 3: But all the kate ones are allowed to. Yeah, somehow
Speaker 3: I feel like Courtney sneaks in. I can just do
Speaker 3: it if I wanted.
Speaker 1: Why not? If you're killing Sassy, right, now and Miles,
Speaker 1: you just have a cool name. So you're you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 2: Oh, Miles, I told you. I think I've said it before.
Speaker 2: I always wanted to be DJ in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, why are I DJ?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: That felt like the sickest name I'm And I remember
Speaker 2: I was like, Yo, his name is fucking bullshit. Why
Speaker 2: can't I be Yeah, there's other kids this nineties. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: this one kid, DJ was like the coolest kid, like
Speaker 2: in my grade, Like at the time, they're.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, she's surfing and ship like.
Speaker 2: He's like, you know, he's like a good surfer when
Speaker 2: we were like ten, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 2: he was killing it. Now he's like a like a
Speaker 2: storied lifeguard in Oahu, like he he never strayed from
Speaker 2: his like beach path as a human being. Now, a DJ.
Speaker 3: Always a DJ that's you have to swing in too hard. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't back down from your choices as.
Speaker 1: A DJ exactly.
Speaker 2: In a way, I'm glad I did not. I did
Speaker 2: not pursue that name switch, and I stayed with Miles,
Speaker 2: and that led me towards them. That kept me on
Speaker 2: my musical path.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, very well. DJ could have kept you
Speaker 1: on a very different music would have been.
Speaker 2: Too on the nose. I feel like, you know, and
Speaker 2: here's DJ DJ like no, come.
Speaker 3: On, I personally love it, but that's not a great indicator.
Speaker 2: Of its Yeah, trolley DJ names now are like the best.
Speaker 2: Like there's a guy named Trilbo Swagons who I've seen
Speaker 2: on bills in like l a DJ. Yamba Jobi is
Speaker 2: another one I love. Like those are just funny, like
Speaker 2: I would lean into that. But yeah, as a kid,
Speaker 2: like I remember I was DJ under the name Prime
Speaker 2: with a one with a one for the eye.
Speaker 1: Okay, bucking around on this side.
Speaker 3: Yeahhi, what a's time to be alive?
Speaker 1: Truly the early nineties. I have a long thing I
Speaker 1: want to talk about that we don't have time for,
Speaker 1: about the name Michael in the late eighties early nineties
Speaker 1: and why I was having such a run. I don't
Speaker 1: have any answers.
Speaker 3: So when I was in college, we had to have
Speaker 3: multiple mics. There was maccus and Mike's second floor mic.
Speaker 3: There was tall mic, there was short mic. We had
Speaker 3: to delineate the mics. Say I got a prefixed handle.
Speaker 1: And also my most famous humans in America were all
Speaker 1: named Mike. And then the Ninja turtles came along, and
Speaker 1: the coolest ninja turtle was Michael Angela. It's why. And
Speaker 1: then since then, no, like, not a lot of cool
Speaker 1: mics got Mike Pence. This is a stand up that
Speaker 1: I'm working out. Yeah, yeah, go on, go off?
Speaker 3: All right about that is your guarantee to have a
Speaker 3: mic in every audience. Yeah, get ready, put plenty in
Speaker 3: your pocket for that, feel.
Speaker 2: Like you get on stage. Hey, So, where's Mike at
Speaker 2: Your name's Mike. Raise your hair right now? All right,
Speaker 2: Mike the fuck daddy? All right, Kayler, We're gonna get
Speaker 2: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 2: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 2: we're talking about today. Google aid off twelve thousand people.
Speaker 1: Their stock price went up, of course, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about that and how the the real theory on
Speaker 1: why corporations, why all these tech corporations are firing everyone
Speaker 1: just like firing cutting so many jobs, is because they
Speaker 1: like the other one did it, and they're like, well,
Speaker 1: if they did it, we should do it. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about how billionaires are coping
Speaker 1: with people telling the truth about them, namely suing them.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about state houses coming up with just the dumbest,
Speaker 1: most fucked up ways to oppress non heterosexual people, all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Caitlin, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, two part answer one, very quick and brutally honest.
Speaker 3: Cabinet suspension rails. Guess who's in the middle of putting
Speaker 3: its new kitchen cabinets or planning the process of doing so.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I can't tell you that the search results
Speaker 3: are exciting, but there are a lot of them. They
Speaker 3: are quite informative. So if you if you're with me
Speaker 3: in the journey I chose the suspension rail system, you
Speaker 3: echo into just a chamber of nothing only journey.
Speaker 1: When you're doing when you're googling that, are you finding
Speaker 1: like YouTube video that shows you how to do it?
Speaker 1: That you're like speed scrubbing through what's your process?
Speaker 3: I was looking specifically as because I was trying to
Speaker 3: be cheap and buy cabinets that didn't include a suspension
Speaker 3: rail system, so that I did the thing where I
Speaker 3: was like, well, can I buy something to add to
Speaker 3: that cabinet, and I was like, no, it's an expensive cabinet.
Speaker 3: You just get one that has the suspension rail. See
Speaker 3: how you did the thing. So yeah, that was the
Speaker 3: path that I've been chasing down. The fun one though,
Speaker 3: is that for Sundance Film Festival is happening now big
Speaker 3: time in my house, as half the house works for
Speaker 3: the fest and is there in Park City now. And
Speaker 3: quite often the category you know online there's a big
Speaker 3: breakdown of like what's playing and what's going on, And
Speaker 3: many years the International Shorts tab is not the most
Speaker 3: clicked upon tab. There are certainly competitions or movies that
Speaker 3: get more interest than that particular slice of the festival.
Speaker 3: But this year, because of alphabetical coincidence, I think it
Speaker 3: just worked out right. Truly, it was just supposed to
Speaker 3: be this way. It's not that they picked this person out,
Speaker 3: although who knows. But right now for the International Shorts
Speaker 3: at Sundance, the picture promoting it is of Jennifer Connolly,
Speaker 3: and I gotta tell you it's peak and it's peakin' stats.
Speaker 3: It's crushing stats. Folks are smashing to see what's going
Speaker 3: on with International Shorts at Sundance, and I give credit
Speaker 3: to the face of Jennifer Connolly, which will move mice
Speaker 3: all over the world. As it turns out, everybody wants
Speaker 3: to know what she's up to. So congress to those
Speaker 3: at Sundance.
Speaker 2: I was in love with her, Yeah, I mean rocket.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that International Shorts is good getting some shine.
Speaker 3: Credit credit be to Jennifer Connelly or not. All high
Speaker 3: quality films that deserve of you, right, And if it's
Speaker 3: that face that gets in there, well done.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fun. So somebody, are you are involved in
Speaker 1: Sundance or your partners?
Speaker 3: Oh, the sweet lady of the house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, got it.
Speaker 3: For a few years, been with the festival in various capacities,
Speaker 3: so always fun to watch it grow it and it happened
Speaker 3: and and pick up cool stuff.
Speaker 1: And yeah that's cool. Any any news on what's coming
Speaker 1: other than Jennifer Connolly's face. For all us foreign short
Speaker 1: film fans.
Speaker 3: I wish that I had clicked beyond it. I, like
Speaker 3: the rest of the general public, was intrigued by Jennifer
Speaker 3: Connelly and literally googled Sundance International Shorts Jennifer Connolly. So
Speaker 3: if you have done the same welcome to that elite club. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I do hear a lot about programming, which means I
Speaker 3: can't remember what's actually happening and what is just discussed.
Speaker 3: But it is an honor to just be discussed.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Oh shit? Wait? No, there was one and they were
Speaker 3: both food related? Can I do? Can I do underrated? First?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Can we allow it? Because I remember it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I had to wait for a ruling from
Speaker 1: our judge, but yes, yes allow.
Speaker 3: I appreciate this grace. I wrote down the word under
Speaker 3: overrated instead of writing down the thing that I think
Speaker 3: is overrated. So when I tell you that my handwriting
Speaker 3: is in a hurry, that maybe that's what's you know,
Speaker 3: overrated is rushing. See how we rescue this situation? Is
Speaker 3: not taking your time? It seems like I was getting
Speaker 3: there faster to write down my underrated. But you know
Speaker 3: what I did then was just wrote down the word underrated.
Speaker 1: The words.
Speaker 5: Underrated, underrated, which I'm just very lucky that I happen
Speaker 5: to remember because I decided on I underrated very quickly
Speaker 5: and a shuphered a few through a few overrated now
Speaker 5: which no, which I can remember.
Speaker 3: So don't rush. Rushing is deeply overrated. What is underrated?
Speaker 1: Celery, Celery, Celery baby, Okay, tell me more. I gotta agree.
Speaker 1: Are we saying a big second on this?
Speaker 2: Are we saying beyond our understandings as just like an
Speaker 2: easy dipping vegetable and something for the kids, and then
Speaker 2: obviously a vital to like you know your mirpois or
Speaker 2: like other you know, it's kind of foundational to your cooking.
Speaker 2: Tell me you're in soup season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it here in this hemisphere, if your
Speaker 3: fridge is not stocked with some salary, you are missing
Speaker 3: out on a key component of making soup season a
Speaker 3: huge success. Plus I didn't know this. This is mainly
Speaker 3: garnered from an episode of America's Test Kitchens, So go
Speaker 3: back and look up what I had. They had to
Speaker 3: say about celery. But for a long time it was
Speaker 3: kind of the only green thing going in the winter.
Speaker 3: Celery was like a big deal on the holiday table
Speaker 3: because everything else was like stuffing turkey brown you know,
Speaker 3: delicious brown souf serve this, like there were special dishes
Speaker 3: to hold a thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because CLI's in a lot of the holiday dishes
Speaker 1: like just kind of thrown in yeah, the stuff chunks
Speaker 1: of celery in there.
Speaker 3: You look at an old Titanic menu or something, and
Speaker 3: it'll be like, celery served seven ways.
Speaker 2: Why why been like oh.
Speaker 3: Creamed? So yeah, it was a champion vegetable. I think
Speaker 3: it's unsung now. I heard the mention as a kid's snack,
Speaker 3: and it is a delicious kid snack. But don't sleep.
Speaker 3: The celery is delicious. It will see you well.
Speaker 2: I love I love a celery. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I rely on ants on a log more than I
Speaker 1: should as a parent, you know, to get my kids
Speaker 1: to eat some calories when they're like not wanting to
Speaker 1: eat whatever thing I made badly for them.
Speaker 3: Oh, but we never as adults find ourselves.
Speaker 1: In that situation, right, Never have we.
Speaker 3: Ever gone through a day lacking calories or energy because
Speaker 3: we didn't do something simple like wolf down some celery
Speaker 3: with peanut butter sponge on it.
Speaker 1: Well, so I do I do that now. I also
Speaker 1: make myself ants on a log, And my only complaint
Speaker 1: with ants on a log is it takes an entire
Speaker 1: like bushel of celery for me to feel satisfied. It's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't say it's the only thing you should.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I said.
Speaker 3: It's underrated, not that it should be your chair like
Speaker 3: a big assist, wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Like some myth or I don't know if it's true,
Speaker 2: but people were like, it's the one food that you
Speaker 2: eat that's like a net negative Calorically, I.
Speaker 3: Feel like iceberg lettuce is also on this list of
Speaker 3: things in the nineties they told me to eat in
Speaker 3: seventeen magazine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they're like, Hi, we're not going to promote
Speaker 2: eating disorders in the traditional way. We'll just see the
Speaker 2: seed the ground with well these subtle things like hey
Speaker 2: what about this you know.
Speaker 1: Else?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, celery, I mean, yeah, to your point,
Speaker 2: Like I remember when I would eat it like I
Speaker 2: would eat My mom would make French onion dip sometimes
Speaker 2: and I would eat it with celery. She used to
Speaker 2: be like, stop eating half the goddamn tub with every
Speaker 2: bite of sun. I guess the only way I could
Speaker 2: I was using it as like a spoon.
Speaker 1: Basically, I got to make up for these net negative
Speaker 1: calories from the celery, offsetting them with net positive from
Speaker 1: the French onion dip.
Speaker 3: Building my case that it is underrated. What an excellent
Speaker 3: conveyance it adds crunch, it adds Chris. Yeah, it has flavor,
Speaker 3: but it's like chill. It's not loud.
Speaker 1: Nature's tostitos scoops.
Speaker 3: Oh see, Nature's freetos is free doos. Fritos have three ingredients.
Speaker 3: Don't forget the frito is a perfect food. I don't
Speaker 3: have to tell you that's underrated. Freedom should already be
Speaker 3: corn corn oial salt, salt. It's as is that really is?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's impressive. And two of them are corn based.
Speaker 3: Yeah I know, and one is all it's really good.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, what is uh? What's something you think is overrated? Oh? Well, rushing, rushing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going too.
Speaker 3: Fast to remember what you thought about before and then
Speaker 3: writing down the word overrated instead of writing down the thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that you thought was overrated. Take time with.
Speaker 3: Well executed mug lifts gets.
Speaker 1: You out of it.
Speaker 2: Oh that mug is actually also a good mug to
Speaker 2: lift in the frame because that's a beautiful mug.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that a something you're making?
Speaker 3: No, here's I live in a place now, so when
Speaker 3: I have to get things, I get the things that
Speaker 3: I like think are good. I've lived for a long
Speaker 3: time like, well, this could be possibly disposed of the
Speaker 3: year entirely by accident as I relocate to a new
Speaker 3: zip code for ten times. Right, But now I'm a
Speaker 3: bit more deliberate in my choices, hence cabinet suspension rials
Speaker 3: right exactly.
Speaker 2: Wow, is that you're sipping on it right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah? That's a nice mug as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah right yellow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, lifetime life, never lose it.
Speaker 2: I got the I got the Rocky Mountain tubble tumblrh
Speaker 2: I bought it. I bought it at CBS because it
Speaker 2: could fit thirty two ounces, and I was going to
Speaker 2: a hotel pool party where I had to sneak in alcohol.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: You just walked up sipping on a giant tumbler and
Speaker 1: no question, sir, I said it was water. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because I guess like that
Speaker 1: that is a thing.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Yeah, because especially look when you say
Speaker 2: like a hotel and then they're like, yeah, non, we
Speaker 2: have like a pool side bar and like the drinks
Speaker 2: are seven thousand dollars. Motherfucker. Get your Rocky Mountain tumbler
Speaker 2: on and then go to the room as you need to,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Yah, I don't want to put my parents on blasts.
Speaker 3: But when you go on a cruise, booth can be
Speaker 3: very expensive, so can check you luggage. So they had
Speaker 3: essentially they just wore seven days worth's of clothes and
Speaker 3: check the luggage full of booths.
Speaker 1: That's impressive. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. And we're back, and there's a hot
Speaker 1: new trend going around the tech industry, and that's firing
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of your employees. Google announced that they're
Speaker 1: laying off twelve thousand people, which is about six percent
Speaker 1: of their global workforce. And first of all, the market
Speaker 1: was immediately like thumbs up, no notes, great job, and
Speaker 1: their stock price went up, because that is the perverse
Speaker 1: system of incentives that we live within, and that of
Speaker 1: course makes the people making the decision to fire people
Speaker 1: instantly way richer when the stock price goes up, because
Speaker 1: that's where most of their net worth is tied up
Speaker 1: for a lot of it, at least. But this is
Speaker 1: just the latest round of laouts for tech workers. The
Speaker 1: other day, Microsoft announced they were cutting ten thousand jobs.
Speaker 1: Shortly before that, Amazon announced massive layoffs, and Google claims
Speaker 1: that their explanation is how we just hired a bunch
Speaker 1: of people during the pandemic and now we're in a
Speaker 1: different economic reality, which.
Speaker 2: Oh a better one.
Speaker 1: No, that's that's the thing, Like, Nope, this sort of
Speaker 1: bait and switch that corporate entities do where they're always
Speaker 1: talking about like the financial outlook is bad, but then
Speaker 1: they never really like follow through when it's good on
Speaker 1: doing anything for anyone. Right, it's always just them announcing
Speaker 1: that the financial outlook is bad and then laying off
Speaker 1: people because remember like during COVID, everybody was like it's
Speaker 1: an economic apocalypse, and now they're like looking back at
Speaker 1: that as like the good old day is well, but.
Speaker 3: Because I've got paid for because the buddy just bled out.
Speaker 3: You know, tracking where that went will be an amusing
Speaker 3: job for some finance students in the future, but it is. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I bet that was the wild old days. You can
Speaker 3: send in a piece of paper and all of a
Speaker 3: sudden a bunch of money showed up, and then he
Speaker 3: said in another one, and I guess it was fun
Speaker 3: like there was on a corporate level, it seemed like
Speaker 3: there was a giddiness about what was possible, like we
Speaker 3: can just fire everybody. We don't have to have offices anymore.
Speaker 3: Our stock is stable, but nothing else in the economy.
Speaker 3: It like, what is happening? I don't unreplicatable. I don't
Speaker 3: know that it was. Corporate entities are like alive, they
Speaker 3: live forever, but they can't. I don't know that the
Speaker 3: virus affected them, Like it's then the human.
Speaker 1: People they were like, they've weakened. It's time for us
Speaker 1: to get stronger and exactly, yeah, oh no.
Speaker 3: The terminator was worried about the wrong AI. It's corporation.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. I've been saying that, like capitalism and
Speaker 1: corporations are the singularity, like they're the unkillable thing that
Speaker 1: is like ingesting all of the minds and intelligence and
Speaker 1: just using that to kill any challenger. But yeah, massive
Speaker 1: corporations yearning for the good old days of the COVID outbreak,
Speaker 1: when all we heard about during the COVID outbreak was
Speaker 1: how fuck the economy was is kind of a weird look.
Speaker 1: And people who speak the language of these people say,
Speaker 1: it's like still a bad move, Like it doesn't make
Speaker 1: sense to fire this many people because you, like a
Speaker 1: lot of times you're firing people who you just spent
Speaker 1: a bunch of money to like recruit and hire, right,
Speaker 1: they say, it's like buying high and selling low on
Speaker 1: your labor because you like really like spend a lot
Speaker 1: to like recruit people, bring them in, and then.
Speaker 2: Have like attroactive packages so you can get them to
Speaker 2: sign and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then because of like a temper very economic condition,
Speaker 1: you fire them. And then when things pick up again
Speaker 1: in twelve months, you are going to be spending a
Speaker 1: lot of money like trying to get that same quality
Speaker 1: or even sometimes those same employees back on your area.
Speaker 3: The sanity of the amount of money companies will spend
Speaker 3: to pay humans less money right out of control. It's
Speaker 3: in them. I mean the same arguments, Like housing is
Speaker 3: the same thing. The amount of money we spend to
Speaker 3: keep people homeless is.
Speaker 1: Wild, Yeah, wild.
Speaker 3: It would be so much cheaper by every measure to
Speaker 3: just put people inside in like safe, nice places.
Speaker 2: What are you trying to say that it costs three
Speaker 2: times more in Los Angeles to deal with an unhoused
Speaker 2: person than if we spend the money to find a
Speaker 2: way to get them in permanent housing, which is one
Speaker 2: and then we.
Speaker 3: Want to jail them for being unhoused on top of that,
Speaker 3: when we're just putting them inside for the profit of someone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it is a I mean putting them inside. It's a
Speaker 3: statement I probably could have shaped more gracefully as these
Speaker 3: are people. But it is a a ton for a fact,
Speaker 3: I assure you. It is a Yeah, one of those
Speaker 3: well silly conundrums about capitalism that like you need society.
Speaker 3: It's why economic systems don't work in a vacuum because
Speaker 3: they're endless. They have no boundaries. They keep expanding. But
Speaker 3: we live on like a planet. Like I know, I
Speaker 3: do astronomy tours the night. Maybe we've talked about that.
Speaker 3: I live in Joshua Tree. Now I go out into
Speaker 3: the park with telescopes and I talk about space. So
Speaker 3: I think about this kind of stuff all the time.
Speaker 3: Like it's one planet. It is so very small. We
Speaker 3: have a boundaried amount of resources. As much as elon Musk,
Speaker 3: I want to grab an asteroid full of gold, it
Speaker 3: is not a likely outcome for us and permanent resource development.
Speaker 3: It's very cool. We can make oxygen on other planetary environments,
Speaker 3: but it's not like a sustainable bottle for life. So
Speaker 3: the expansion of capitalism being limitless is one of the
Speaker 3: things is very foolish, and then you need a society decide,
Speaker 3: like when profit doesn't win, like like with housing, like
Speaker 3: with yeah it's.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, just like on the broad scale thing, Like
Speaker 1: there's that statement by William Shatner where he like went
Speaker 1: to space and was like and I looked back and
Speaker 1: I realized, like space is bad out there, there's nothing
Speaker 1: out there for us, and like the Earth is this
Speaker 1: amazing beautiful thing. Which I was like, man, that's a
Speaker 1: really good point that he just made, and like I
Speaker 1: wish I I don't know he said.
Speaker 2: He basically said, you don't you don't want to be
Speaker 2: out here, right, different appreciate.
Speaker 1: What you got, right the del Curry thread, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Don't don't start thinking about out here because it is
Speaker 2: a piece is.
Speaker 3: Incredible, It is inhospitable to every way are we have
Speaker 3: adapted as biology. Space isn't bad. We are just programmed
Speaker 3: to live in a certain type of environment and space
Speaker 3: is different from that environment. We don't think about the
Speaker 3: fact that the atmosphere is like we live in stew
Speaker 3: we need super rich gassy goodness and space just is
Speaker 3: it like that our bodies are designed for a certain
Speaker 3: amount of gravity. Space just has like different, it's just different.
Speaker 3: But we're not going to do great there. So yeah,
Speaker 3: the inherent constraints are one thing. But then this like
Speaker 3: spinning off of costs is just madness, and it happens
Speaker 3: within capitalist environments themselves, where like they get fixated on
Speaker 3: a number, the pennywise plan foolish game, where like, labor
Speaker 3: costs money, so paying less than labor means we make
Speaker 3: more money. But that is a ridiculous, so provably false,
Speaker 3: and it repeats itself so often that you'd think we'll
Speaker 3: have learned the lesson from history, because it's like the
Speaker 3: eternal history of humans working for other humans has this
Speaker 3: balance of like a seesaw tipping back and forth, where
Speaker 3: labor is a press, labor fights back. Labor is the press.
Speaker 3: Labor fights back. That wheel has been turning, it's turning
Speaker 3: right now. But and like tech is an important place
Speaker 3: because tech is how we're talking to each other right now.
Speaker 3: It's how people communicate among the rest of the trade.
Speaker 3: Like that's important labor, those are important people with important
Speaker 3: skills that need to be helping us thrive. Go backwards
Speaker 3: thinking that we can pay people less to make more.
Speaker 3: It doesn't work. It doesn't work.
Speaker 2: But here's the work. On the shareholder call, they're going
Speaker 2: to be like, well, what's the fucking deal? Because these
Speaker 2: other companies are getting are axing people. Why aren't you
Speaker 2: guys been enough to hire them?
Speaker 3: Hire them all, hire them, now, hire them and pay
Speaker 3: them so they don't leave. Hire yourself thirty six thousand
Speaker 3: incredible employees and make your company incredible money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and watch your stock price go down a little
Speaker 1: bit and realize, like my day to day stock price
Speaker 1: is not like a way to run the fucking company,
Speaker 1: Like that's or not. Yeah.
Speaker 3: If your plan is to eat the company alive and leave,
Speaker 3: that's one thing. But what if your stock goes on
Speaker 3: because that company is ah, it's gonna live on too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: What if it kept making money past the three years
Speaker 3: that you pull the plug on it, drain it and
Speaker 3: kill it. What if it actually, over thirty years would
Speaker 3: give you so much more money? Yeah, that it's such
Speaker 3: as death.
Speaker 2: I'll take the money up front right now.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take right now.
Speaker 2: Right, I'll take the money right now. I don't care
Speaker 2: about thirty years. I care about right now.
Speaker 3: Have it all away for just a little more.
Speaker 1: Right that's right. And so there is a Stanford business
Speaker 1: professor who said back in December that the real reason
Speaker 1: behind all these tech layoffs that you know, that was
Speaker 1: before all lot of the ones we're talking about, but
Speaker 1: they had started, and he was like, watch this. They're
Speaker 1: all gonna do this because everyone else is doing it.
Speaker 1: And that is how CEO brains work. That's how like
Speaker 1: the powers that be like, guess it's it's a bad decision.
Speaker 1: There going to like you know, severance packages cost the money,
Speaker 1: their unemployment insurance rates increase, productivity drops due to low
Speaker 1: workplace morale. They're going to when the economy picks back up,
Speaker 1: like goes, spend a bunch trying to rehire these same employees.
Speaker 1: But tech companies are responding to the market only basically,
Speaker 1: and they're just it's so basic and just like they
Speaker 1: engage in imitative behavior because it's like a big fucking
Speaker 1: social circle where like social contagions like well I don't
Speaker 1: want I don't want people to be like why didn't
Speaker 1: you do that? He did that so that I have
Speaker 1: to do it to like hedge my bets.
Speaker 3: Basically, that's how you get everyone in fleece vests. That's
Speaker 3: how you get the entire city of San Francisco in
Speaker 3: the same navy blue fleece with a blue collar shirt.
Speaker 2: Underneathes leather boat shoes. But I mean it's wild because again,
Speaker 2: like to your point, right, like when Lula took office
Speaker 2: in Brazil when he was like, yeah, man, we're gonna
Speaker 2: tackle inequality and people starving and the market's fucking sick
Speaker 2: because you said, because he articulates that, which again, everything
Speaker 2: is just about the whole thing, which is ignore your
Speaker 2: human impulse to have empathy and to take care of
Speaker 2: a problem, because at the end of the day, we're
Speaker 2: all just becoming subservient to again the shareholder value, the
Speaker 2: stock price. And again it's like this, this only leads
Speaker 2: to the fucking just you know, consumption of every resource
Speaker 2: that we have and then like emptying out our pockets
Speaker 2: and be like is.
Speaker 1: The jet here yet? Is the rocket here yet? And
Speaker 1: it won't be. Yeah, That's why I brought up the
Speaker 1: shatter thing is because like the long game is like that.
Speaker 1: I feel like that statement was profound and it also
Speaker 1: made me realize like they were like he's suffering from
Speaker 1: a thing. Lots of astronauts like come back from space
Speaker 1: with where they're just like, oh my god, it's so
Speaker 1: bad up there, you guys, we need to like fix
Speaker 1: all the problems on Earth. We have it completely backwards.
Speaker 1: But you never hear about that shit, because again, the
Speaker 1: whole thing is this vast, like hive intelligence of capitalism
Speaker 1: that is only telling you the thing that is going
Speaker 1: to accelerate consumption and like create this overall narrative where
Speaker 1: we have to get off the planet and create more
Speaker 1: more worlds to consume. Right.
Speaker 2: Essentially, it's it's like being inconvenience that like your roof
Speaker 2: has like a leak in it, and you start building
Speaker 2: another house and you're like, wait, what are you doing.
Speaker 2: You're like, well, my my other house has a leak
Speaker 2: in the roof, and I don't want to fix it.
Speaker 1: That building that second house is so good for the economy.
Speaker 1: You don't understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think of the amount of people you're going
Speaker 2: to employ by building another house, thank you. But again
Speaker 2: it's the why not why tackle the issue, Like why
Speaker 2: not tackle the issue of the faulty roof, which is doable,
Speaker 2: rather than being like, now, fuck it, we're going all
Speaker 2: in on getting the fuck out of this house and
Speaker 2: building another one next door, which yeah, like whatever talking
Speaker 2: about it's like, just just take the fucking time to
Speaker 2: fix that. It's it's manageable, but it just takes a
Speaker 2: different way of thinking round than like well if I
Speaker 2: do that, then there's like it I just solve it
Speaker 2: right there and then there's not some.
Speaker 1: Like continuous problems house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hit something.
Speaker 3: It is a poison because like wanting the idea that
Speaker 3: humans want to explore off the planet we live on
Speaker 3: is like as old as people like don't stop looking up.
Speaker 3: It has been put like that urge is pure. It
Speaker 3: is impure to think that we want to go there
Speaker 3: to take diamonds to bring back to here, like that
Speaker 3: is insane. That's so that's so crazy. But the idea
Speaker 3: that we are explorers is not is not crazy.
Speaker 1: And and listen to the people who use this marvel
Speaker 1: of like space travel to go up there get a
Speaker 1: perspective that only like a handful of humans ever get
Speaker 1: and be like, yo, you are we are all fucking
Speaker 1: up and like you can you can see it from
Speaker 1: up there, like somehow your spirit can like see it.
Speaker 1: And it's really bad. And and they pay.
Speaker 3: Their bodies are they're strength. It's a long term. What
Speaker 3: astronauts do has a long term costs that we're getting
Speaker 3: better at understanding. But like, it's not just bad for us.
Speaker 3: We're not designed all the every condition is not what
Speaker 3: we're designed for. Well, I mean propis are getting good.
Speaker 3: Way to go, perseverance, keep looking for stuff in those rocks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, show us.
Speaker 3: Life on Mars. I just want to see what happens.
Speaker 3: I just want to see what happens if we can
Speaker 3: find evidence of bacteria life on. But I just want
Speaker 3: to see what we do.
Speaker 2: We'll bring it excited, we'll bring it back and it'll
Speaker 2: wipe us out. As it scripted, brisky came too much? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: well bring bring it home, Bring it home, bring it home.
Speaker 2: All the fucking ecosystems are devastated.
Speaker 1: And they're like, ah, fuck, knew it.
Speaker 2: I knew that was bad. It's probably bad. Is probably that?
Speaker 2: Probably that probably bad?
Speaker 1: They did, Like that is a big thing they do,
Speaker 1: the quarantine after after the moon landing, Like they were like,
Speaker 1: tubes are.
Speaker 3: The cleanest things we've ever made. The tubes on that
Speaker 3: little Mars rover are clean, baby clean, and they are
Speaker 3: getting sealed up. They stay in space for like a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and then I did want to, you know,
Speaker 1: just follow that story up with a story about why
Speaker 1: that will be the last time that we ever talked
Speaker 1: about rich people or corporations, because now they are suing us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not us specifically, but they're going after people who
Speaker 2: like to connect the dots out loud on the influence
Speaker 2: of money and better work or also known as board
Speaker 2: b U is being is.
Speaker 1: He known as that? Just really did?
Speaker 2: I just decided to do that as a Pharrell reference.
Speaker 2: But we all know, we know he gets down on
Speaker 2: that skateboard. We saw him get down in that wad
Speaker 2: Burger parking lot. But you know he's being sued by
Speaker 2: this natural gas magnate in Texas. Why did he do
Speaker 2: something criminal?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: He pointed out the fact that the Natty gas pimp
Speaker 2: gave Governor Greg Abbott one million dollars right after the
Speaker 2: governor signed a bill into law that created a loophole
Speaker 2: for natural gas operators to be able to opt out
Speaker 2: of mandated winterization of their infrastructure.
Speaker 1: Well, what does that even mean? It's not like that
Speaker 1: could ever harmation chains on my tires? Who gives this
Speaker 1: ship be?
Speaker 3: Like? How bad could winter in Texas?
Speaker 2: You did anything bad happen a couple of winters ago,
Speaker 2: where properly winterized infrastructure could have prevented the death of
Speaker 2: hundreds and.
Speaker 3: Led to the just robberies people that's right, not dying
Speaker 3: their homes.
Speaker 2: There was in twenty twenty one, and then Abbott signed
Speaker 2: a bill like a few months later that made it
Speaker 2: seem like he was addressing the issue of like the
Speaker 2: winter storm, and he was like, I want to make
Speaker 2: it look like I'm advocating for Texans by saying, we
Speaker 2: got it. We actually have to get serious about mandating
Speaker 2: or like mandating like the proper winterization of infrastructure and
Speaker 2: like not allowing these operators to price gouge people. But
Speaker 2: again he left a loophole for the natural gas gang,
Speaker 2: which is why the Tech and the Texas Tribune points
Speaker 2: to the natural gas operators as quote the primary cause
Speaker 2: of outages during that time. So what the fuck is
Speaker 2: going on and what is this distraught man to do
Speaker 2: for betual' rourke saying things like this guy's influencing the
Speaker 2: governor or bribing him.
Speaker 1: Oh well, he just really pointed that out. The Greg
Speaker 1: Abbott thing. He was just like, yeah, he's like Bill
Speaker 1: was fucked up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, look at it. He's like he's carving
Speaker 2: out loopholes for his buddy. This guy gave a million dollars.
Speaker 2: You think this isn't connected. This is directly relates to
Speaker 2: his business and way of making money. And this is
Speaker 2: this is the kind of corruption where a gup. You know,
Speaker 2: like any any person who's like running for office with
Speaker 2: that sort of set of ideals is going to articulate. Well,
Speaker 2: his lawyers now are saying, like, well, you know what,
Speaker 2: they said that this natural gas Taichoon experience quote mental
Speaker 2: anguish from comments, ads and social media posts in which o'
Speaker 2: works campaign suggested that the money was a reward for
Speaker 2: Abbot going easy on him. Well what else? Tell us
Speaker 2: what else, honey, let's soothe your woods. Quote Beto o'roart
Speaker 2: told millions of his followers that Warren engaged in bribery,
Speaker 2: corruption and extortion, and that he profited from the death
Speaker 2: of his fellow Texans simply because mister Warren gave a
Speaker 2: perfectly legal campaign contribution to the candidate of his choosing
Speaker 2: governor Abbot. When you look at the comments that his
Speaker 2: followers put in on his tweets, they believe him. They
Speaker 2: believe that mister Warren is a criminal that is engaged
Speaker 2: in profit over the lives of Texans. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so your profits. See the reason is if you spent
Speaker 2: the fucking money to properly protect your infrastructure and prevent
Speaker 2: the power outages for people, which wouldn't have led to
Speaker 2: their deaths. And you know the fact, after the after
Speaker 2: the people. That's the wild thing.
Speaker 1: Is this why it's like a thing where it was
Speaker 1: like a Hinde Insight twenty twenty, we would have really
Speaker 1: addressed that fucker they are doing this and like paying
Speaker 1: him a million millions of dollars campaign contribution after they've
Speaker 1: their fuck up has already led to people dying, has
Speaker 1: already led to like a national news like just disaster,
Speaker 1: like something that everybody was talking about, and they're like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so the next thing we need to do is is
Speaker 1: make sure that nothing, no consequences are ever felt from this, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm.
Speaker 3: Looking for some silver lining. And remember that are perfectly
Speaker 3: balanced judicial system is it runs on a system of precedent. Now,
Speaker 3: if we could establish a precedent that mental anguish is
Speaker 3: enough to sue a politician for then perhaps perhaps we're
Speaker 3: onto something here, maybe even corporate. I've experienced mental languish
Speaker 3: from every overdraft fee that I've ever experienced. Maybe a
Speaker 3: little class action suit in that direction is in order
Speaker 3: I've experienced, you know, mental anguish.
Speaker 2: Oh I remember, you know what I was in college
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 3: Had to get all those loans because like we made
Speaker 3: tuition in the student fees in the California public university system,
Speaker 3: don't I remember that? Being it starts of mental languish.
Speaker 3: Maybe the half million students a year that were in
Speaker 3: school with me in the state of California would like
Speaker 3: to get together and see if there's a little something
Speaker 3: we can do to compensate ourselves for what we suffer,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But it's not a lot.
Speaker 1: But if we could start suing people for mental anguish and.
Speaker 3: That I just think that maybe we're onto something here
Speaker 3: then mental anguish.
Speaker 1: And if the judicial system wasn't run by billionaires right
Speaker 1: in business, hey, you.
Speaker 2: Never know, let's let's open the doors. But again, like
Speaker 2: many people are saying, like obviously it's a bullshit slap
Speaker 2: lawsuit and it's you know, meant to chill the speech
Speaker 2: of candidates or anyone who's wanting to point out that
Speaker 2: we live in this fucking oligarchy. So you know, there's that,
Speaker 2: and it could be a great blueprint for other, you know,
Speaker 2: very sensitive earth fuckers who don't want to hear people
Speaker 2: accurately describe their actions. But yeah, it's it's it's a.
Speaker 3: Little dystopian nineteen eighty four flipped the language five. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you told the truth about me, so I'm suing you.
Speaker 1: It's just.
Speaker 2: And I mean when you also look at it too,
Speaker 2: this guy, like this gas guy, like he's in every
Speaker 2: he's making sure everybody's paid, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like Ken Paxton, the Attorney General. After the storm, he's like,
Speaker 2: we got to look into these gas companies, Man, what
Speaker 2: the fuck was that storm about. It looks like they
Speaker 2: were gouging, but the price gouging was out of control.
Speaker 2: But since then he's refused to say, like, what's going
Speaker 2: on with that investigation? And then if you look at
Speaker 2: the donations, the same guy, Kelsey Warren's given at least
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars to Paxton throughout his career, so
Speaker 2: it's like he stays on the good side of him
Speaker 2: and then also the Texas Railroad Commission, which is the
Speaker 2: body that oversees like oil and gas and stuff in
Speaker 2: the state, you know, and like talks about price caps
Speaker 2: and things like that. He's given like over three hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety thousand to like Texas Railroad Commission candidates in
Speaker 2: the last decade, so you know, I mean, if anything,
Speaker 2: it's just one of these weird things where you see
Speaker 2: how it works. But again, they're like, we have to
Speaker 2: prove the intent in court, right, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like he was just giving to like and it's it's
Speaker 2: this nebulous language that is allowed for them to have
Speaker 2: a defense. I'm merely participating in the civics the civic
Speaker 2: process here and just giving money to a preferred candidate
Speaker 2: without really you know, but we're not going to actually
Speaker 2: analyze what that means, right, And I think that's what
Speaker 2: this what this lawsuit could end up boiling down to. Anyway,
Speaker 2: he's being better at work, he's being sued for a
Speaker 2: million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that. Or it's just mad he's not
Speaker 1: a baller like this guy, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and I think that's what this guy is saying.
Speaker 2: He's like it's just all these haters. They hate that
Speaker 2: we're ballers.
Speaker 3: I shall call this alvista. I feel like we're this
Speaker 3: is the I mean, Chad's are finally stepping up to
Speaker 3: assert their dominance in court, which it's about time. I
Speaker 3: can see by the visual representation that this is the
Speaker 3: aphex of the white male. This is this is it,
Speaker 3: this is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not getting much.
Speaker 3: Every every billionaire looks like flaccid wet sausage. But that's
Speaker 3: it's just something that happens. I guess when you have
Speaker 3: that much money.
Speaker 1: Speaking of flaccid wet sausage, we uh, we got a
Speaker 1: fucking flaccid wet sausage all star. I strolled down to look.
Speaker 3: At this guy's picture, and I misunderstand. I I saw
Speaker 3: in the document which you so kindly prepare for guests
Speaker 3: there you've you've included a photograph of a certain gentleman,
Speaker 3: and I mistook him for a billionaire because he has
Speaker 3: billionaire body, which is about the compliment I could give him,
Speaker 3: which I think we all recognize is not.
Speaker 2: And he has like he has like that vibe like
Speaker 2: when you're so privileged, like you still look like a
Speaker 2: baby because you've never had to live still.
Speaker 1: Like you said, you're not surprised to hear the stories
Speaker 1: about with his haircut, that dodgy haircut.
Speaker 3: That haircut is Oh my god, Yeah, it looks like Yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 1: It's who's the owner of the Raiders who has the
Speaker 1: bowl cut?
Speaker 3: Yeah Davis with the haircut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not Al Davis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Al Davis is I think it's Al Davis's son.
Speaker 2: Maybe Oh yeah, yeah, he's got that. He's got that
Speaker 2: really wild edge up, like he's got a Caesar with bangs.
Speaker 2: Yeah basically yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Like rell.
Speaker 2: As the front.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wasn't like give me an edge up. But yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that the person I'm talking about is Mark Davis,
Speaker 1: al Davis's son. So worth looking at him and the
Speaker 1: gentleman we're about to talk to when we come.
Speaker 4: Back, not talk to talk about. No, we got him,
Speaker 4: we got him, We got got him on the horn.
Speaker 4: Love your worldview, man, got to have you on the show.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll be right back, and we're back. And
Speaker 4: state houses where all the good ship is going down
Speaker 4: these days.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In the wake of the twenty twenty election, all the
Speaker 1: state houses were busy finding ways to rap fuck elections.
Speaker 1: Since their whole idea has been stopped to steal. And
Speaker 1: then after the twenty twenty mid terms, it seems like
Speaker 1: the Republicans new obsession is the continued dehumanization of the
Speaker 1: LGBTQ community.
Speaker 3: Nothing to worry about, there never.
Speaker 2: Hard Yeah, yeah, don't don't if we got rampant in semitism, homophobia,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, this all ends, This is all gonna end well.
Speaker 2: But like as it stands, right, there have been over
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty bills introduced in twenty twenty three
Speaker 2: that are meant to discriminate against drag shows or trans people.
Speaker 2: They're fucking like they're putting the pedal to the metal.
Speaker 2: One particularly stupid bill comes from the aforementioned dick head
Speaker 2: from North Dakota be.
Speaker 3: Wearing three hair pieces. I don't mean to come for
Speaker 3: the man, but I'm saying that most of the trans
Speaker 3: community could really help.
Speaker 1: You know, how to lay a wig baby like this.
Speaker 3: On the side of the rainbow. We can just let
Speaker 3: us fix it.
Speaker 1: You are serving Mark Davis, Yeah, you're serving or you're
Speaker 1: serving a white man cosplaying as Maya from Pen fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but in the worst possible way, Like you're like,
Speaker 2: hold on what the fuck is this vibe?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a horrible insult to Maya from Penn fifteen.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a bull cut, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: my looks, you're not tripping. I just saw We're right.
Speaker 2: But that's it. So that this man's name is David Clemens,
Speaker 2: and he just introduced a bill that would generate fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred dollars fines for using people's preferred pronouns.
Speaker 1: Using their preferred pronouns.
Speaker 2: Yes, require you to. And what he means is that
Speaker 2: this would apply to any quote, any entity receiving state funding,
Speaker 2: including a public school and institution under the control of
Speaker 2: the state Board of Higher Education and a state agency
Speaker 2: or office. They're basically saying, like, if you spend the
Speaker 2: time to acknowledge someone's pronouns, you will be fined. We're
Speaker 2: only going to be just completely We're not respecting anybody
Speaker 2: or how who they are as people. That's that's the
Speaker 2: fine quote. And again he goes even further. In the
Speaker 2: event that these biggots have like terrible gaydar or like,
Speaker 2: you know, a way to sust people out, he said,
Speaker 2: quote if sex, gender or gender identity or gender expression
Speaker 2: is contested determination is established by the individuals. Deoxy ribo nucleic.
Speaker 1: Acid cool, So DNA testing, Yeah.
Speaker 3: They're so good with that. Yeah, the state testing people's
Speaker 3: DANA on demand to something typically that people who favor
Speaker 3: less government control are like all about. Yeah, this aligns
Speaker 3: perfectly with the general philosophy. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: And this there's already like other advocates that pointed out
Speaker 2: it's like, what if you, like, chromosomes aren't always straight
Speaker 2: up male or female? Yeah, so what do you how
Speaker 2: are you gonna even enforce this? This is just like
Speaker 2: some ignorant guys thing of being like, well, if they
Speaker 2: don't like it, well test their blood kind of thing.
Speaker 2: And it's like for.
Speaker 3: What yeah for girl.
Speaker 2: For girl, like and what if what if someone like
Speaker 2: an intersex person wouldn't have like a traditional DNA profile
Speaker 2: where they could be like this is man, this is
Speaker 2: or whatever it is. Again, this is so fucking backwards.
Speaker 2: And this is on top of other bills in the
Speaker 2: state that already banning gender firming care for trans for
Speaker 2: trans kids, or banning trans girls from playing sports. They're
Speaker 2: just they're piling on on all this nonsense. And even
Speaker 2: though their own state Judiciary committee said this bill was
Speaker 2: unlikely to work because it's written with tears and crayon
Speaker 2: and is also so poorly worded. They're even like, how
Speaker 2: are you going to enforce this?
Speaker 1: But this is all their shit, like all the they're
Speaker 1: all based on like a fucking Facebook post. They didn't
Speaker 1: do any like follow up research on It's anytime you
Speaker 1: talk to one of these bigots, they're just they their
Speaker 1: ideas area is paper thin. I mean, their commitment is strong,
Speaker 1: but like they don't they haven't like looked into any
Speaker 1: of this shit. It's just all based on something that
Speaker 1: their cousin fucking wrote on Facebook.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I again, like this is not a winning formula,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean for candidates in the midterms.
Speaker 2: It was only scoring culture warpoints on TV. Like, it
Speaker 2: wasn't putting. It wasn't like, oh this is the this
Speaker 2: is like the plutonium rod that will power the GOP
Speaker 2: to like you know, like insane majorities. And again they
Speaker 2: continue down this hate path full steam, I mean, not
Speaker 2: to mention like already, like the dickheads in Congress, they're
Speaker 2: already bringing up a fucking fair this fair tax bullshit
Speaker 2: again where they want to have a flat sales tax
Speaker 2: to replace like every other tax we have, and another
Speaker 2: giveaway to like the wealthy that they're just like, they're
Speaker 2: just you know, there's no real direction aside from create
Speaker 2: as much outrage as possible, score as many culture warpoints
Speaker 2: as possible, because actual actual legislating is far from a priority.
Speaker 2: It's just to create. I don't know, for whatever reason
Speaker 2: they're they're clying back whatever gains they felt were made
Speaker 2: by people who were not Cishead Christians in the last
Speaker 2: twenty years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just confusing. It's a confusing Like I don't
Speaker 3: I could look for indicators in other societies that have
Speaker 3: freaked out about this and then falling apart, which is
Speaker 3: what happens over and over again. But the obsession about
Speaker 3: it is so virulent, Like people are so angry about
Speaker 3: gender expression. It's an I don't understand the anger or
Speaker 3: what it's actually about. It's like it's like you're having
Speaker 3: you know, on a grand scale, we're having a fight
Speaker 3: that where we're screaming about a teapot. But if we
Speaker 3: were in the couple, we would know it's not about
Speaker 3: the teapot, Like, what is this about? What are you
Speaker 3: mad about? Like I just don't quite get it. And
Speaker 3: this isn't like a coming out. You can look at
Speaker 3: me and know that I don't express gender along strong
Speaker 3: binary lines. I've never been DNA tested. I have no
Speaker 3: idea what the results would be. I'm like woman with
Speaker 3: big air quotes. I just fall somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 3: My gender expression is leatherman, like I have cargo bates,
Speaker 3: like I'm somewhere floating in a purple space.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like if and.
Speaker 3: I feel like a coward sometimes. If they wasn't popul usage,
Speaker 3: that's probably what I would use. But I'm not interested
Speaker 3: in engaging in a linguistic fight. I see it more
Speaker 3: as just like clumsy English than anything else, like other
Speaker 3: languages are better at expressing the fact that tender is
Speaker 3: part of language is very funny and weird anyway, I
Speaker 3: don't care, but it's terrifying right. I travel less and
Speaker 3: I do live in a conservative area now. But like,
Speaker 3: I'm aware of being clocked in just this way that
Speaker 3: I know what people walk away around with in a
Speaker 3: because you know their expression means that folks are eyeing
Speaker 3: them down and they're so mad.
Speaker 2: I don't well. I think it's because everything, everything we
Speaker 2: see is it's trying to reset the scales. So like
Speaker 2: white cis head Christian hegemony is maintained, and every group
Speaker 2: that we are in, every group we now offer consideration towards,
Speaker 2: is another group. These people see themselves having to too
Speaker 2: right because they're not. They didn't used to have to
Speaker 2: bow to be like, oh, I didn't realize about you know,
Speaker 2: you know, systemic racism. Oh god, it's not.
Speaker 3: Shoving someone in a bathroom? Is that submission?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: I think again. For them, it's like, why do I
Speaker 2: have to now consider pronouns? What the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: I'm I'm at the top of the sociological food chain
Speaker 2: where I shouldn't have to My consideration shouldn't go downwards. Ever,
Speaker 2: I'm here, y'all fucking deal with it. And so what
Speaker 2: now I have to be mindful about, well, what what
Speaker 2: white supremacist policies have had in this country? And I'm
Speaker 2: not fucking doing that. That's bullshit. I don't want to
Speaker 2: talk about critical race theory. What you're saying now I
Speaker 2: have to defer to somebody because they said that they
Speaker 2: their gender expression is this that? And you know I'm
Speaker 2: not doing that. It's everything.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: I'm not extending I'm not extending my empathy towards these people.
Speaker 2: So now the natural instinct is to, well, then man,
Speaker 2: vaporize the fuck out of them, like start making it
Speaker 2: the law that actually can considering them is illegal, that
Speaker 2: studying critical race theory is illegal. And again we're not
Speaker 2: even saying this was even being taught to fucking children,
Speaker 2: but they're putting laws on the books and be like,
Speaker 2: don't even fucking talk about ap African American studies in
Speaker 2: Florida has no value.
Speaker 1: There has no value to me, right exactly. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's just.
Speaker 2: It has no value to somebody who is not who
Speaker 2: Their only goal is to say, I'm only looking for
Speaker 2: reminders of my power as a cis head white person
Speaker 2: in America if I have to say I'm sorry to someone, No, no, no,
Speaker 2: we're fucking up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The entire civilization was built around their ignorance for decades,
Speaker 1: you know, like it was like we've just what is
Speaker 1: polite is whatever you are comfortable with as a cis
Speaker 1: head white man and.
Speaker 3: Who that gave me the shivers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: That's another I'm sorry. I just put a picture on
Speaker 2: it of another legislator from Mississippi who was again trying
Speaker 2: to ban like trying to ban doctors from providing gender
Speaker 2: affirming care. And this guy looks like literally what you
Speaker 2: just talked about, Jack, someone who's built in the fires
Speaker 2: of ignorance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and will fight for every opportunity to make sure
Speaker 1: he's allowed to stay ignorant, keep his children ignorant, and
Speaker 1: make sure nobody ever pushes his hair back to see
Speaker 1: where his hairline actually starts, because he's got the he's
Speaker 1: got the wild floppy bangs that like come down into
Speaker 1: his eyes in a way that I'm not fully buying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, but this is where we're at. There,
Speaker 2: we're watching in real time the like legislative like the
Speaker 2: legislative manifestation and at every level of clawing back this
Speaker 2: sense of like dominance, Yeah, and that there and trying
Speaker 2: to recreate a world that's like fucking Jim Crow era shit, which.
Speaker 1: Is like I don't know, Yeah, that's them, then that's
Speaker 1: their thing.
Speaker 2: That's not my problem, right, And I'm not and I
Speaker 2: don't need to begin thinking I have to make considerations
Speaker 2: in my day to day life about people I'm not
Speaker 2: really like not been exposed to or educated on, and
Speaker 2: I'm ignorant of. So the natural reflex isn't to learn
Speaker 2: or to open my heart, is to close it down
Speaker 2: and figure out how I can legislate my way out
Speaker 2: of learning anything else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we live in a you know, civilization where
Speaker 1: the rewards go to these people, like they still go
Speaker 1: to those people. This guy's in fucking Congress, like the
Speaker 1: you know, the guy you just showed a picture of
Speaker 1: is you know, hits.
Speaker 3: On showtime right now is a pretty good documentary about
Speaker 3: the Attica prison riot, which I didn't know a lot about,
Speaker 3: so I was glad to get some better insight in.
Speaker 3: But it is a pretty inhumane response to people asking
Speaker 3: to be treated like humans.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: The folks with the boots wore those boots right on
Speaker 3: out of that prison, back to their homes, back to
Speaker 3: their families, and the people inside the prison it was,
Speaker 3: you know, people spoke out to ask to be treated
Speaker 3: like people, and those folks who spoke out were specifically
Speaker 3: targeted and taken down. It it's such a stark I
Speaker 3: think perhaps some of when I look at history and
Speaker 3: civil rights in the United States, I wondered why this
Speaker 3: prison riot hadn't made its way to the forefront in
Speaker 3: the way some other events had. And it is almost
Speaker 3: because some other events have a deeper degree of subtlety,
Speaker 3: like talking about who can ride the bus has a
Speaker 3: more humane level of subtlety. The ATTICU Prison riot is
Speaker 3: on the nose in a way that leaves you with
Speaker 3: a nosebleed. And that's important because things are that is
Speaker 3: as it was. You know, we can have a debate
Speaker 3: in a classroom about that period of history. Debate is rich,
Speaker 3: but you know, you can talk in a classroom about buses.
Speaker 3: It's really hard to talk about what happened in that
Speaker 3: place and the lack of aftermath, the fact that nothing changed.
Speaker 3: It's uh worthy watch if you want to, you know,
Speaker 3: just get goutt it. Have your eyes shot upon by
Speaker 3: the truth.
Speaker 2: Truly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the there's so many stories like that. We should
Speaker 1: just do a whole series that's just like the stories
Speaker 1: that you will hear from American history and be like,
Speaker 1: holy shit, why isn't this the first thing they fucking
Speaker 1: taught me? Like there's an episode of there's an episode
Speaker 1: of The Doll Up about the Boston bus riots that
Speaker 1: is like the most damning thing about like how racist
Speaker 1: Boston is and just like massive you know race riots
Speaker 1: started by you know, wildly racist policies and racist people
Speaker 1: in Boston and it just doesn't get brought up. It's
Speaker 1: like not a thing that you learn about in school.
Speaker 2: I think, to Kaitlin's point, it's always the ones that
Speaker 2: are so obvious exactly, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 2: I didn't know the police dropped a bomb on people
Speaker 2: in Philly. Yeah I was thirty, Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 2: was like, wait, what.
Speaker 1: Offer a hellic?
Speaker 2: What the fuck? Really? You know what I mean? And
Speaker 2: it's and you look at everything and you're like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, these uh yeah.
Speaker 1: That just looks like an extension of all the other
Speaker 1: terrible racist violence we've seen that we were supposedly moved past,
Speaker 1: but you know, it keeps popping up in these other ways.
Speaker 2: But yeah, who we'll see, uh yeah, it is. It
Speaker 2: is interesting to see how how we look back at
Speaker 2: this period, because you know, anytime the society lets a
Speaker 2: group become vulnerable and you know they be can picking
Speaker 2: away at it, that's truly the beginnings of some even
Speaker 2: more awful shit. And we've been experimenting with this same
Speaker 2: way of doing business for fucking ages now, So it's
Speaker 2: like really just hardening the one The one thing I
Speaker 2: will say is that with that one specific bill in
Speaker 2: North Dakota, a lot of people came out to like
Speaker 2: oppose it. Not one person came to like support the
Speaker 2: bill at all. And what I mean even like the
Speaker 2: people in that committee were like, yeah, this is there's
Speaker 2: no way this is like this is not going to pass,
Speaker 2: but it's still going to the Senate floor for a vote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like in North Dakota. So again we'll see.
Speaker 2: But this is all this is all part of these
Speaker 2: people wanting to keep up the regularly scheduled programming of
Speaker 2: saying like, hey, we can legislate our way to the
Speaker 2: top again by dehumanizing and othering our fellow here North Dakota.
Speaker 3: This is my plea. If I understand correctly, you are
Speaker 3: the least touristed state in the nation. And if that's
Speaker 3: not true, I apologize. But also, look at what just
Speaker 3: happened in your state house. We all have a lot
Speaker 3: to talk about. But I am pretty sure North Dakota
Speaker 3: that not enough people come to see you. I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure it's South Dakota. Dakota has that mountain with the
Speaker 3: people on it, and that's what everybody goes to see.
Speaker 3: You North Dakota are sitting there full of beautiful spaces
Speaker 3: that could be full of gays and their dual income,
Speaker 3: no kid lifestyle. Imagine the resort properties. Imagine the tourist
Speaker 3: dollars that you could try in with those snowbirds. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying you're missing where the money is. Those grand shows,
Speaker 3: people just throw money. Did you know that? At a
Speaker 3: drag show where the transit is dance, people literally just
Speaker 3: throw American dollar bills at one another.
Speaker 1: Just bring that money in there you go, Caitlin as
Speaker 1: always truly a pleasure having you on the show. Where
Speaker 1: can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff.
Speaker 3: At Guarantee Shirts. Of course, I also made a four
Speaker 3: twenty DA Fiance Grab a T shirt. An amazing podcast
Speaker 3: in addition to this one that you should check out
Speaker 3: and enjoy. Otherwise, I am not online and it's beautiful,
Speaker 3: so my T shirts that's where I'm at. There you
Speaker 3: go get the designs where they're around. Otherwise, enjoy international
Speaker 3: shorts featuring Jennifer Connelly and every other talented performer.
Speaker 1: Feature and is there a work of media that you've
Speaker 1: been enjoying movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been ignoring Twitter since we had to let
Speaker 3: the sink in. But I let that sink in. Sorry,
Speaker 3: I got the pume wrong because it's just so such,
Speaker 3: but I'm going to give it up. I thank Alice
Speaker 3: Wetterland for pointing me this direction. I have been indulging
Speaker 3: in scrolling through Reddit, specifically just the reddits that I
Speaker 3: have subscribed just a home girl, so I see a
Speaker 3: lot of plumbing, a lot of electricity, a lot of
Speaker 3: home improvement, and a lot of curled feteas. So if
Speaker 3: you want to see some animals with their feets all
Speaker 3: curled up, I highly recommend that you go check out
Speaker 3: Reddit's corner curled Fezzi's to see it's mostly cats. And
Speaker 3: I understand there was some tension about down boates given
Speaker 3: to other animals with curled fezzis, but it has been
Speaker 3: clarified within the community that any animal with cute curled
Speaker 3: fez is allowed for submission, so mainly cats. For a
Speaker 3: variety of animals with their feet curled, highly recommend you
Speaker 3: know when their little feet just flop over because they're relaxed,
Speaker 3: so that one little joint that is neither elbow nor wrist.
Speaker 2: Nor mean flops.
Speaker 1: I like to when cats sit under their feet and
Speaker 1: the like feelings. Yeah, that's called I'm a black cat,
Speaker 1: so we call it batmobile.
Speaker 2: Wow, I have a black cat too. I'm gonna call
Speaker 2: it batmobile.
Speaker 3: Looks like a little batmobile, right, I'll curled up.
Speaker 1: With Whoa and her yellow eyes say less exactly?
Speaker 3: Were the same cat?
Speaker 1: Miles? Where can people find you? What's the tweet you've
Speaker 1: been enjoying?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: You can find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles
Speaker 2: of Gray, like Caylen said. You can also find me
Speaker 2: on four to twenty Day Fiance with Sophia Alexander and
Speaker 2: also Jack and I have a basketball podcast called Miles
Speaker 2: and Jack gott Madlies. Okay, let's see. And the tweet
Speaker 2: I like is from at Richard Underscore normal between it.
Speaker 2: I think my most misogynistic belief, and I apologize in advance,
Speaker 2: is that I've noticed that. And again I'm sorry to
Speaker 2: say this. Sometimes women don't finish their cans of sparkling
Speaker 2: water as frequently as men do. And that was his take,
Speaker 2: and I as somebody who I don't. The thing is,
Speaker 2: I don't even finish my cans with sparkling water. I
Speaker 2: think it's a I think this is this affects everybody
Speaker 2: the same way. Although Her Majesty loves to leave around
Speaker 2: like loose half cans with third water. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: I'm for the one sip ditch, So I have no
Speaker 3: steak in this argument.
Speaker 2: How do you feel? How do you sip? Because like
Speaker 2: I get it too. Sometimes I open a can, I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, I need this, but I only really needed
Speaker 2: to sip, and then I'm like.
Speaker 3: The first big sip that hurts, yeah and.
Speaker 2: Burns, and I'm like, I'm gonna leave it on the
Speaker 2: kitchen counter. I'm gonna get back to this can.
Speaker 3: Of course I am. And then I'm going to finish
Speaker 3: this can and not open another one.
Speaker 2: Which is funny. This is also how I came across
Speaker 2: the thing about Jack. When I say, leave a half
Speaker 2: opened passion fruit Lacroix in your car and they'll smell
Speaker 2: like a new car. That's again straight off of me
Speaker 2: not finishing fucking cancer, fucking sparkling water. I feel like
Speaker 2: this is everybody. This is everybody's problem.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not my problem. My problem is the opposite.
Speaker 1: I drink everything that's in front of me. That's why
Speaker 1: I can't drink alcohol. I drink so much, so fast.
Speaker 1: I am a thirsty, thirsty man all the time. And
Speaker 1: if you put anything in front of me, unless it's
Speaker 1: room temp water, which I can I can kind of
Speaker 1: take or leave. But basically anything cold, I will, I
Speaker 1: will drink it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna drink all the room tap water. We are,
Speaker 3: We're good. You can have everything I see or too hot, right.
Speaker 1: I think it also has to do with the fact
Speaker 1: that I'm so sweaty that like my body is just
Speaker 1: naturally like ever since I was young, was always just
Speaker 1: like gotta get, gotta get more fluids, Go go, go,
Speaker 1: go go, so I can win chugging contests of lots
Speaker 1: of varieties. And it's not something I'm proud of. It's
Speaker 1: just a fact. Matt Lee tweeted, love kicking clicking on

Speaker 2: I said, my mom has always raised me with a
Speaker 2: pride of being Japanese and taught me to really embrace
Speaker 2: that side of my culture. He's part of that is
Speaker 2: actually being able to speak Japanese and I'm proud of
Speaker 2: the fact that I'm able to occupy it duel space
Speaker 2: and it's in my DNA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard that part.
