Speaker 1: It's five thirty nine parsecs on Tattooing and you're listening
Speaker 1: Tonight Call. Hey everybody, and welcome to Night Call, a
Speaker 1: podcast for your Snow Planet Days and Desert Planet Nights.
Speaker 1: We are here in the garage today with my very
Speaker 1: good friend, as always Tess Lynch. Hello, and joining us
Speaker 1: today a very very fine Star Wars enthusiasts Andrew t
Speaker 1: Not cool, Molly, what's up? I mean Andrew? Andrew plugged
Speaker 1: your stuff? Oh yeah, I do a podcast called you
Speaker 1: know is this racist? It's me and a co host
Speaker 1: talking about It's about your co host. She's really cool.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you just met her a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1: I new a new co host. Her name is Tawny Newsom.
Speaker 1: She's great and it really brings a good energy up
Speaker 1: into the podcast house. You guys have some really good
Speaker 1: new promo art also. Oh yeah, where you're like yelling
Speaker 1: into the phone dress like business people. Yeah, we made
Speaker 1: Tony came up with the idea for it, and we
Speaker 1: we got like like a real ass photo shoot, which
Speaker 1: is really good. It made me be like I would
Speaker 1: like to watch this legal drama were new and Tonny
Speaker 1: or a couple of people yelling into phones. Also to
Speaker 1: say Andrew's podcast was one of our first favorite podcasts.
Speaker 1: How long have you been doing? You know, as this
Speaker 1: racist a long time now, like four years, three years,
Speaker 1: four years, endless lifetime. And I was when I when
Speaker 1: I first started podcasting. The deal with your Wolf the
Speaker 1: company was don't worry, We're not gonna make any money,
Speaker 1: but the idea is we'll try. We'll try to turn
Speaker 1: this into a TV show because they're also TV producers.
Speaker 1: And I was great, And then later on they were like, actually,
Speaker 1: it turns out people can make money from podcasting, so
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to try. And now you're making so
Speaker 1: much money as a podcaster, as are we all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a true pioneer in the field. I had to Yeah,
Speaker 1: I change it up. Yeah, but I mean you've been
Speaker 1: doing that podcast for a long time now. It's very good,
Speaker 1: actually useful podcast. I think it was the first one
Speaker 1: I ever listened to. Yeah, jeez, yeah, we I've had
Speaker 1: like five podcasts since then, including one that you were
Speaker 1: my co host. Oh my god, yeah, North Mollywood. Alright,
Speaker 1: do you know that that was just like one year ago.
Speaker 1: You had girls in hoodies, girls and hoodies. Then you
Speaker 1: had and I had it was called the Lambert Report.
Speaker 1: How wait what? I had a show by myself on
Speaker 1: Greatland for a while after the Girls in Hoodies were
Speaker 1: no longer. They're called the Lambert Report because there was
Speaker 1: like an episode of Melrose Place I watched where somebody
Speaker 1: was like, look at these statistics from the Lambert Report, like,
Speaker 1: that's my show name. I couldn't find the clip ever again,
Speaker 1: so I could never really explain why that was the show.
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds so serious. It's like the Palmer
Speaker 1: I think I thought it was funny, and you know,
Speaker 1: it sort of is to me, that is super funny.
Speaker 1: And then Dave Shelling was my co host on that
Speaker 1: for a little bit. And then I had North Mollywood
Speaker 1: at MTV. Yeah, I missed the Lambert Report, and it's
Speaker 1: a brief it was, you know, only the truest side. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all it's all a unified universe of Molly Lambert podcasting.
Speaker 1: I guess it was Actually did say it was the
Speaker 1: Lambert Account, No, the Lamber Okay, I called it the
Speaker 1: Lambert Account because Bill Simmons had a podcast called the
Speaker 1: The BS Report, and then there was the Lambert Account
Speaker 1: on Melrose place remember that, and I thought it was funny,
Speaker 1: but I had like Megan am Ram on it was
Speaker 1: basically just like a dry run for Molly Sleazy Friends.
Speaker 1: It was just like me interviewing people one at a time. Uh,
Speaker 1: shout out, Megan am ram get get it. You have
Speaker 1: that that night. I hope she get it. Actually, if
Speaker 1: we're plugging my old podcasts, uh, the very first one
Speaker 1: I did, like seven years ago, just on a laptop,
Speaker 1: was called A Round of Applause with Travis and Andrew.
Speaker 1: Four episodes and you can still find them. My college
Speaker 1: radio show is called Live from the Masterdome because that
Speaker 1: was the name of the auditorium and my friend Lizzie's school,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was funny. Uh. And I totally
Speaker 1: tricked them into giving me a show where I just
Speaker 1: talked a lot because I did a radio theater show
Speaker 1: and then I like found out how much work it
Speaker 1: was to produce radio theater every week. I didn't produce
Speaker 1: like two plays on like live plays, and then I
Speaker 1: was like, what if instead of that, I just like
Speaker 1: play fire sign theater cuts and then like talk in between.
Speaker 1: But it was definitely sort of the the framework for
Speaker 1: all the podcasting I Do, which is talked about on
Speaker 1: North Mollywood about reading one of those plays. We never
Speaker 1: made it. The best play that Molly's ever written as
Speaker 1: an ice Cream Man for All Seasons, which she wrote
Speaker 1: in twelfth grade. Yeah, yeah, this is a very good play.
Speaker 1: My sister was just at home in Michigan and she
Speaker 1: started sending me, like texting me pictures from a picture
Speaker 1: book I wrote when I was I must have been like,
Speaker 1: I think fourth or fifth grade or something. That was
Speaker 1: that the one where it looked like you were trying
Speaker 1: to overthrow the government? Yeah, I saw that. It's super fascist.
Speaker 1: Though it's about the Secret Agent Union. For some reason,
Speaker 1: I was really anti Secret Agent Union at the time,
Speaker 1: which I guess is fair. I mean, at least they
Speaker 1: were a union. We're going to post this on our
Speaker 1: on our instagrae. This kind of reminds me of do
Speaker 1: you guys know there's a comics guy named Ben Mara
Speaker 1: who's really awesome. He does these really awesome comics. I
Speaker 1: love his comics. He has a comic called Night Business
Speaker 1: that totally is like of the Night Call Universe that
Speaker 1: all just takes place like at night. It's like all
Speaker 1: eighties movie action kind of troops. You would love it.
Speaker 1: He did one called One Man War on Terrorism. That's
Speaker 1: really like they're sort of like parodies of like super
Speaker 1: super far right like action e you know, military eighties
Speaker 1: comic stuff. You would love it. Speaking of angry men
Speaker 1: SPEAKINGSM Test, I just would love you to lead off
Speaker 1: with the thing you just told me about who invented
Speaker 1: the term in cell? You just learned yesterday. So here's
Speaker 1: the deal. I haven't looked ever at the Wikipedia for
Speaker 1: in cells because I get so anxious and angry when
Speaker 1: I read the New York Times and some up ed
Speaker 1: columnists is saying, hey, look well let's read distribute sex
Speaker 1: because the insults have a point. So I forced myself
Speaker 1: for the podcast to look into the Wikipedia for in cells.
Speaker 1: The first time that the term in cell was used
Speaker 1: was in by a woman named a Lana. She was
Speaker 1: a Canadian college student, and so she made a website
Speaker 1: to talk about being like socially awkward and not having sex,
Speaker 1: and then that turned into a newsletter and then the
Speaker 1: term was co opted obviously by a bunch of people
Speaker 1: who suck um, and she was appalled, and I guess
Speaker 1: eventually she discovered that she was queer and like things
Speaker 1: gone much better for her, and she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think I was just like figuring stuff out. You know,
Speaker 1: it was nice to have a community and now that's
Speaker 1: been totally weaponized and is awful in Wikipedia's as. When
Speaker 1: Alana read about is Lesta killings and the way parts
Speaker 1: of the insult subculture glorified the perpetrator, Elliott Roger, she wrote,
Speaker 1: like a scientist who invented something that ended up being
Speaker 1: a weapon of war, I can't uninvent the word nor
Speaker 1: restrict it to the nicer people who need it, and
Speaker 1: so that's crazy, you know. That's also like I feel
Speaker 1: like that's so similar to like Matt Fury, who did
Speaker 1: Boys Club, the comic that Pepe comes from, and who
Speaker 1: is not a Peppe at all and hates Pepe's And
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, like my character, you know, just because
Speaker 1: of like randomly being chosen for them and becoming like
Speaker 1: imagine that if you're like your creation becomes just like
Speaker 1: a symbol of everything bad that you hate. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was intended to be the opposite of what it was,
Speaker 1: And yeah, I didn't know that. It's so weird to
Speaker 1: the way that like the far right, all right people
Speaker 1: have like weaponized identity politics as though it's like something
Speaker 1: for them, you know, but like the way they used terminology,
Speaker 1: and they're just postmodern Nazis, that's what it is. The
Speaker 1: postmodern Nazis is very confusing to me because I was
Speaker 1: like saying yesterday, like I was looking at Alex Jones
Speaker 1: twitter feed because he was talking about how, oh, you
Speaker 1: guys got plans for July four? I got the Democrats
Speaker 1: are starting the civil war on July four, and everybody
Speaker 1: was like, no, nobody's organized enough to get it going.
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, maybe next year. I was like, sail yeah.
Speaker 1: But then his other tweet, he had like a Malcolm
Speaker 1: X tweet and it was like a Malcolm X quote.
Speaker 1: I didn't google it to see if it was a
Speaker 1: real quote. I think it might have been, uh, but
Speaker 1: it was like a picture of Malcolm X with an
Speaker 1: Info Wars graphic on it, and the quote is from
Speaker 1: Malcolm X saying don't trust the media, which is true
Speaker 1: for him and not true for white men, right that
Speaker 1: like they but it's also like just to drop that
Speaker 1: in the middle of this fee that's also all this
Speaker 1: white supremacist like incitement of like, you know, white men
Speaker 1: are going extinct and stuff, and it's just like to
Speaker 1: think that you can just like throw Malcolm X in
Speaker 1: there with no context and be like this all goes together.
Speaker 1: I guess is the postmodernism part that I'm just like, like, what,
Speaker 1: I also have a postmodern white supremacy because that's the idea.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, obviously like we're not racist, but like
Speaker 1: we just cracism, except where really want to kill those people.
Speaker 1: I don't think they even necessarily do. It's just like, well,
Speaker 1: somebody somebody said, do you, like, do you really want
Speaker 1: to know the answer to this? This guy who on
Speaker 1: Twitter goes by Webb, who's cool. He was like, here's
Speaker 1: what I have like decided about this or you know,
Speaker 1: heard about this. Is like that it is that the
Speaker 1: white supremacists like like Malcolm X because he was a
Speaker 1: black separatist. Oh, I don't think it reaches out to
Speaker 1: you because what like what supremocists will use Martin Lucer, right,
Speaker 1: I guess, So yeah, I was like that seems like
Speaker 1: like because they were like, you know, because they also
Speaker 1: want like separatism, and I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: the kind of separatism they want is like it does
Speaker 1: everyone gets their own land. But I think it's it
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be that consistent. It's just like they're
Speaker 1: not consistent at all, and that's what's so like freaky
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, but here, okay, this is the same thing.
Speaker 1: That's like like all the people are like, oh, Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 1: like we can just point out what a hypocrite he
Speaker 1: is and held back. And the thing is, it's not
Speaker 1: a hypocrite. It's just like every moment of every action
Speaker 1: is just in the service of white supremacy with no
Speaker 1: for or or pretty thought to it. And if you
Speaker 1: realize that's how they operate, it's all totally consistent. But
Speaker 1: also their whole ideology is to be like if you
Speaker 1: say that, they're like, you're the Nazi for calling us Nazis, Like,
Speaker 1: how dare you accuse us of this horrible thing that
Speaker 1: we would never do? And that's like test Nitis did
Speaker 1: this podcast Behind the Bastards where we talked about we
Speaker 1: talked a lot of ship on Nancy Reagan for a
Speaker 1: long time, and it was not she was not the bastard,
Speaker 1: by the way, she was not the person her astrologer
Speaker 1: was the bastard. Jone Quigly and Molly and I were like,
Speaker 1: we were just we were we were not given an it.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, We're just like, no one should feel bad
Speaker 1: for manipulating Nancy Reagan, she's a trash person. Well also,
Speaker 1: I mean what it kind of boils downto is that
Speaker 1: Nancy Reagan's astrologer was also a kind of like rich socialite,
Speaker 1: white lady whose politics were also bad. But the decisions
Speaker 1: Nancy Reagan was making were Nancy Reagan's decisions. The astrologers
Speaker 1: just told her when to do it. So what we
Speaker 1: learned was that the Reagans held all their meetings and
Speaker 1: press conferences at like super weird times because the astrologer
Speaker 1: told them they had to, which was really like Christian astrology. No,
Speaker 1: it was like literally, this lady who was the astrologer
Speaker 1: was like a rich San Francisco white lady, socialite who
Speaker 1: didn't want to do a straw ology for poor people.
Speaker 1: She had a column in seventeen magazine and then she
Speaker 1: was like, no, like the hordes don't deserve to know
Speaker 1: about the stars. Only like very rich and famous people
Speaker 1: should know, and I will be the one who guides them.
Speaker 1: And then she became Nancy Reagan's astrologer. Test and I
Speaker 1: were just talking a lot about the Reagan years and
Speaker 1: about the Reagans and how much they sucked and how
Speaker 1: so many of the policies of the Trump administration are
Speaker 1: just like the same stuff but more naked, you know,
Speaker 1: and that that's what horrifies people, is the idea that
Speaker 1: it's like they're not putting the gloves on, they're not
Speaker 1: hiding behind a facade of like fancy white people's stuff'd
Speaker 1: be fair. I think the Reagans would have absolutely hated
Speaker 1: what Trump was doing, of course, but it's all like respectability.
Speaker 1: It's the way, yes, exactly, it's but it's like white supremacy,
Speaker 1: respectability politics. It's like they, you know, how how dare
Speaker 1: you be like a low class white like we're you know,
Speaker 1: British colonizers. You're like put a crown on it. Like
Speaker 1: Republicans have been this our entire lifetimes. And I wager
Speaker 1: the lifetime of anyone listening to this podcast. Hey, there
Speaker 1: might be one ageless demon or like year old, like
Speaker 1: what's that great grandma. Yeah, none of the policies are different, right,
Speaker 1: It's all the same ship, I mean, but in cells
Speaker 1: and premises are overlapping ven diets. They are overlapping. Basically,
Speaker 1: I feel like there's that thing where someone predicted what
Speaker 1: would happen in or something. Again, I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is even real or if somebody retcondom meme to
Speaker 1: make it look like it predicted the future, but it
Speaker 1: was like, here's what's going to happen, Like the in
Speaker 1: cells are going to team up with the four chan
Speaker 1: people and they're going to get into neo fascism. But
Speaker 1: it's like, if you had said that to anyone in
Speaker 1: you would have been like, nah, that's crazy. Somebody else
Speaker 1: is telling me that. Like to chan, which is the
Speaker 1: board that four chan was based off of, do it
Speaker 1: for the luws, fucking you know, doxing people, just all
Speaker 1: the stuff we associate with, like the dark side of
Speaker 1: the dark side of the Internet, and that to chan
Speaker 1: eventually turned into like a Japanese like fascist nationalist just
Speaker 1: because it's a lot of like alienated, basement dwelling white
Speaker 1: guys who are like, I'm not going to get mine.
Speaker 1: I can weaponize my anger about that and make everyone afraid,
Speaker 1: and then I have power. I mean, the thing I
Speaker 1: get super pisted about with the in cells, although now
Speaker 1: that I know that where insul comes from, I'm also like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like what about the lady in culls? Like male in
Speaker 1: cells at least have the option of like paying for sex,
Speaker 1: you know. I guess there's like that saying that male
Speaker 1: nerds do where they're just like any woman can have sex,
Speaker 1: like any time she wants. There was nothing so chilling
Speaker 1: though about this wave of editorials and kind of opinions
Speaker 1: being like, well, what if every woman did feel like
Speaker 1: maybe they should? And it was like I clutched my
Speaker 1: problem because I was like, I can't believe this is
Speaker 1: being aired as a real opinion in a time when
Speaker 1: there are lots of really important things happening, and this
Speaker 1: is definitely not the important thing. But it also reminded
Speaker 1: me of like in like junior high. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I remember being like thirteen and like realizing that like
Speaker 1: everyone just liked the hot people and being like wait,
Speaker 1: like all the everyone just likes the too hot people,
Speaker 1: Like why can't we like put the people of similar
Speaker 1: social status together, you know, trying to like put logic
Speaker 1: into it, and then it's like because nobody wants to
Speaker 1: be with the person that's like the same as them.
Speaker 1: You know, like if you showed all these insults the
Speaker 1: woman that they deserve or like not that they deserve
Speaker 1: any women, but like the female equivalent of them, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't be into it. You know. They're like also adding
Speaker 1: a level of male entitlement of like we deserve hot
Speaker 1: chicks for just like being men in the world, which
Speaker 1: is like the part that makes me insane. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just to go back to the predicting thing. It
Speaker 1: was clear these guys were misogynists who were absolutely ready
Speaker 1: to be you know, fascist in the way that bigotry
Speaker 1: always been sex with everything else. Or I didn't think
Speaker 1: they would take it to real life. I thought it
Speaker 1: was like the Internet cesspool just would like stay there,
Speaker 1: you know that they were all like cowards. Well yeah
Speaker 1: they are, but the thing, the thing towers of access
Speaker 1: to weapons and then access to a community. That's why
Speaker 1: I I've always been like of the you know people
Speaker 1: who are like it's just better when the racism is
Speaker 1: out in the open. It's like, I actually just prefer
Speaker 1: when I know who the racists are, or isn't it
Speaker 1: better to have it out in the open than have
Speaker 1: it like simmered and you know, buried and simmering somewhere.
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. The analogy I think I've used
Speaker 1: on my podcast is like it's like putting out a fire,
Speaker 1: a camp fire, Like, yes, if you bury the coals,
Speaker 1: there are definitely still coals under the dirt, but the
Speaker 1: odds of those coals catching another piece of wood on
Speaker 1: fire and making two coals is much smaller when you bury.
Speaker 1: Don't know, I mean, I feel like there again just
Speaker 1: talking about like the respectability of like the styles of racism,
Speaker 1: Like people in California are like delusional, especially you know,
Speaker 1: left wing people. A lot of people are just delusional
Speaker 1: that California is like a good place where good people
Speaker 1: live and like that it doesn't happen here, and it
Speaker 1: does happen here all the time. This woman in Simi
Speaker 1: Valley just like yelled at a kid who was like
Speaker 1: that picture was horrifying. That picture is horrifying, And my
Speaker 1: friend Ski was posting it like this isn't Seemi Valley, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's an ice facility downtown like by the
Speaker 1: Mayor's office, like it is super in Los Angeles everywhere,
Speaker 1: and just like the way racism exists here, it's just
Speaker 1: different than it. There's another placed city. Well, all cities
Speaker 1: are segregated. I feel like, yeah, it's segregated. I guess
Speaker 1: because it's so big and because of the planning. I mean,
Speaker 1: also because it's become so expensive. That's another factor for sure.
Speaker 1: But I mean it's it's difficult to to see the
Speaker 1: proposition that you know, California be split into three states.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I have a take on that. It's my
Speaker 1: hot take. Give it. The only cal exit that I'm
Speaker 1: pro is. My idea is calm exit. Yes, and we
Speaker 1: give California back to Mexico. You know what. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the problem is that anytime, you know, you lose so
Speaker 1: much power. Again, these are things that I'm like, these
Speaker 1: are funny to think about because like, no one's going
Speaker 1: to die from like us all thinking about it. You know, well,
Speaker 1: well here's why some people will die is that it
Speaker 1: will so literally, if that happens, it'll solidify it. Basically,
Speaker 1: those three um states will have two of them will
Speaker 1: be Republicans. Oh yeah, I don't think it will happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's in anyone's interest for it to happen.
Speaker 1: It's basically jerrymannering, you're pushing all the liberals. Well, it's
Speaker 1: like trying to make up for a mistake they made
Speaker 1: in the first place, which was just like getting this
Speaker 1: huge piece of land from Mexico, but also the end,
Speaker 1: which is like I'm like, just give it back to Mexican.
Speaker 1: But the original Calax it was packaged as kind of
Speaker 1: like it was packaged to liberals, and I was gulli
Speaker 1: because they were like, get ourselves out. They were like,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll legalize weed, which they did, Like we're,
Speaker 1: you know, very democratic state in general. I'm not letting
Speaker 1: the tech bros get in charge. This was this was
Speaker 1: it was funded by a guy with Russian ties? Was
Speaker 1: he actually Russian? I want to remember? And Peter tell Is,
Speaker 1: did he actually tell lives here, Elon Musk lives here?
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller group, right, but like white supremacy, Yeah right,
Speaker 1: it's hard for me, like I've realized that. So you're
Speaker 1: talking about this on I guess. It was a Molly
Speaker 1: Sleazy Friends reunion episode of North Mollywood where we talked
Speaker 1: about land Runner Runner h and I was like saying
Speaker 1: that the scary thing about the Blade Runner reboot was
Speaker 1: that it was like very white, and everybody was like, well,
Speaker 1: it takes place in l A. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: well that's the super dystopian future. Is like that these
Speaker 1: white supremacists like want for l A to be that,
Speaker 1: you know where they see it and they just see land,
Speaker 1: you know, which is just colonialism, is just being like, Hey,
Speaker 1: this thing where all this stuff exists is a blank
Speaker 1: slate and I can't wait to put my stuff here
Speaker 1: because the other thing that happens in the New Blood
Speaker 1: Runner is that San Diego is just the landfill for Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's funny. Yeah, yeah, But you were like, you're
Speaker 1: thinking about this more than the people who made Blade
Speaker 1: Runner thought about it. They're stupid people. Maybe you need
Speaker 1: to do another Blood Runner. Blob the Inhaler get high
Speaker 1: and you have to watch a Blade Runner. Wait, you guys,
Speaker 1: did we just make a spin off that we're actually
Speaker 1: going to do out there? Well? Speaking of franchises, oh man,
Speaker 1: let's hear first about what is happening with Star Wars.
Speaker 1: What happened? Oh man, I can't believe y'all had not
Speaker 1: heard about this. There's so much happening all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm like allergic to Star Wars, you guys, so to
Speaker 1: dovetail from in cells as these people, a group of
Speaker 1: Star Wars fans quote unquote who are very mad at
Speaker 1: the new Star World star selves. There's cell of it, yes,
Speaker 1: and they are really mad for reasons that they typically
Speaker 1: articulate as, oh, you're ruining the legacy of Star Wars, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, three super boring movies. Star Wars movies
Speaker 1: are the boring ist um and what you know, it's
Speaker 1: sort of like like what we're talking about in politics.
Speaker 1: It's like they use the language of a little bit
Speaker 1: of film criticism, a little bit of like sort of
Speaker 1: protecting nostalgia, a little bit of like, you know, keep
Speaker 1: keep Star Wars great or whatever. I've been on film Twitter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the underlying message is we don't like change and
Speaker 1: we don't like diversity. So that's why they're extra mad
Speaker 1: at the new Diversity and change are ruining the movies.
Speaker 1: But like, did they like the second three that nobody liked?
Speaker 1: Did they like Anakin? I assume those movies were pretty boring,
Speaker 1: and what maybe they just think it's getting worse and
Speaker 1: worse with each iteration. I think the new ones knew
Speaker 1: these the current iteration. I think there's a revisionist history
Speaker 1: about how much they like the prequels. And the other
Speaker 1: thing that they really hone in on is the fact
Speaker 1: that the head of Lucasfilm post Disney acquisition is a woman,
Speaker 1: um who has produced a lot of really good, big movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well she's a woman. Critically is the thing that they're
Speaker 1: most matas. So do they know that a woman is
Speaker 1: in charge of the James Bond movies? Also, like, don't
Speaker 1: tell them Molly, those movies are bad too. I was
Speaker 1: never a Star Wars person. Emily Yoshida, are resident Star
Speaker 1: Wars fan is not here today, but she'll come back
Speaker 1: to tell us about why Star Wars is good and
Speaker 1: we're wrong. Uh, Star Wars is fine. But here's the
Speaker 1: thing with Star Wars is the best Star Wars movie
Speaker 1: is whatever the last one you saw? Yeah, I don't know, Okay.
Speaker 1: I have seen the first hours a lot of times
Speaker 1: and always like this is boring. I don't care. And
Speaker 1: then I finally watched the second two and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: these are good. Second one, Yeah, sure, they're They're just fine.
Speaker 1: They're great. Empire stricks Back is a good movie. I'm
Speaker 1: but I'm also like, I'm such a non traditional list
Speaker 1: that I like the Eoks, you know, yea true Star
Speaker 1: Wars fans. I think I thought theos were an abomination. No,
Speaker 1: but see that's the thing. It's like, so there's this
Speaker 1: group of white guys who are like the gatekeepers, who
Speaker 1: are you know, the same people you see at a
Speaker 1: working at a comic bookstore or a guitar store. I
Speaker 1: think I just always assume some of these people, like I.
Speaker 1: It's like that really good First Black Mirror episode about
Speaker 1: Star Trek. Oh, yeah, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: if someone's an introvert who likes comic books like I
Speaker 1: don't assume they're like secretly like a homicidal, like misogynist maniac.
Speaker 1: But it turns out a lot of them are. Like
Speaker 1: I just was like, well, look, they're allowed to have
Speaker 1: their opinions, but what are they doing. No, they're not
Speaker 1: allowed to have their opinions. They're not allowed they're trying
Speaker 1: to remake Star Wars. So these so these guys have
Speaker 1: basically been throwing a hissy fit since the new J. J.
Speaker 1: Abrams one came out. What is I don't remember what
Speaker 1: it's called. Um, you know, they and The Last Jedi
Speaker 1: they like among you know, they always have campaigns. They
Speaker 1: harass Kelly Murray tran off of Yea. They always point
Speaker 1: to the fact that the Run Tomatoes film score is
Speaker 1: way lower than the critics score, right, because they like
Speaker 1: because they stuff the ballots and like, for what it's worth,
Speaker 1: what's the other one like Metacritic or one of those
Speaker 1: does one based on polling, random sampling as opposed to
Speaker 1: people will go and guess what? Most people love The
Speaker 1: Last Jedi because it's great, right, because it's for fucking children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but also it's for it's diverse and it's for everyone.
Speaker 1: I will just say, molly like using the terminology which
Speaker 1: real Star Wars fans plays into their rhetoric, which is
Speaker 1: that these white misogyn nerds are the ones who are
Speaker 1: the real fans of a multibillion dollar franchise, Like guess what, right,
Speaker 1: Not just you guys, Yeah, you're You're not the only
Speaker 1: person who likes Zeppelin, the smallest part of this pie,
Speaker 1: but the loudest. That's what I'm like. I'm like, why
Speaker 1: do we pander to these people by giving them any
Speaker 1: airtime at all? And it's like because they're so loud.
Speaker 1: Why does anyone let anyone right about white white in
Speaker 1: cults should like redistribute sex or like because with like
Speaker 1: the aim and Bundy people, it's because they're like dangerous
Speaker 1: white men who I'm just like, I can you know, well,
Speaker 1: we can't correct like mass shootings because we refuse to
Speaker 1: acknowledge that problem. So that's why we have to give
Speaker 1: their argument creative. I have to make them afraid of us.
Speaker 1: But you also you have you have to understand, you know,
Speaker 1: you have to like let the message seep in enough
Speaker 1: so that you can rebut it you can't be ignored
Speaker 1: about it is I was using scarecrows around the Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have to let them merit out. It's because like
Speaker 1: the media like New York Times needs to give in
Speaker 1: cells a bunch of columnentches to make their point. But
Speaker 1: shouldn't we live in a misogynist, sexist or racist society
Speaker 1: that makes these people entitled? I wouldn't be thinking about
Speaker 1: like what if you could write that op ed though,
Speaker 1: we're like, hey, I've got an idea, like let's just
Speaker 1: cut everyone's dicks off, you know, Like that to me
Speaker 1: is just the same of an idea. It's like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I know we haven't thought about it before,
Speaker 1: but like, dicks make a lot of problems in this world,
Speaker 1: and what if we just cut them all off? Well,
Speaker 1: I think in particular the context that the and this
Speaker 1: is again we're like hop hopping and skipping around the topics.
Speaker 1: But I think when you are a woman or a
Speaker 1: person of color and you see a lot of terrifying signals,
Speaker 1: and then somebody writes in the New York Times like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's not that crazy to talk about redistributing sex and
Speaker 1: also one thing, sex robots and sex workers into this
Speaker 1: same paragraph, as though they are the same. I mean
Speaker 1: that it's a it's a terrifying thing. I mean, so
Speaker 1: when you when you start thinking about, like, let's cut
Speaker 1: their dicks off, it would seem preposterous because there haven't
Speaker 1: been all of these incremental, you know, losses of dignity
Speaker 1: and really terrifying laws being proposed that target people with dicks. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of targeting people with dicks, one of the Star
Speaker 1: Wars people wrote this manifesto about Why the Last Jedi,
Speaker 1: and there's a line in it about how one of
Speaker 1: the problems with it is that it denigrates masculinity somehow,
Speaker 1: which is like, oh, you're supposed to say the quiet
Speaker 1: parts like a little baby bitch boy who knows it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I mean, basically, I think it's because like
Speaker 1: the idea that a woman could be a Jedi is
Speaker 1: very upset because that is so weird to me. Because
Speaker 1: the whole thing about Star Wars is that you have
Speaker 1: Princess Leiah who is like essentially a Jedi, you know, like,
Speaker 1: and they hadnal apartment, had a sword and stuff. Like
Speaker 1: the whole thing about those movies that makes them more
Speaker 1: tolerable to me than like other boring dude things is
Speaker 1: like that there's a woman in them, and that the
Speaker 1: woman is Carrie Fisher. You know that they could have
Speaker 1: cast like a hot chick who doesn't say anything the
Speaker 1: whole time, and instead it's like Carrie Fisher and like
Speaker 1: she and Harrison Ford have great sexual tension, and like
Speaker 1: that's what makes those movies good. Like the Disney Machine
Speaker 1: idea of like we're just going to pump out a
Speaker 1: million Star Wars and like they'll all make money forever
Speaker 1: has like the fact that like Solo did not do
Speaker 1: well for them and that nobody was like okay, like
Speaker 1: let's just stop forever. Like that's what those people ostensibly wanted,
Speaker 1: was a movie about how cool it is to be
Speaker 1: hand solo. And like, by the way, manifesto was like
Speaker 1: one phone screen. It's okay, they're not. It's a it's
Speaker 1: meant to look I assume like a Star Wars crawl. Right,
Speaker 1: it's too long, but not as long as you'd be scared.
Speaker 1: Here's what I was going to say, too, is like
Speaker 1: when I kept seeing stuff about the Star Wars remake
Speaker 1: because people are making fun of it online, including Ryan Johnson,
Speaker 1: who right, so this is choose everything. I mean sort
Speaker 1: of they're the same people. But those people wanted to
Speaker 1: remake the Last Jedi there like this movie, Stuch, We're
Speaker 1: going to make a better movie. Give the money to us,
Speaker 1: the fans. So here's their pitch. They claim they have
Speaker 1: an investor who's willing to match funds, a producer who's
Speaker 1: willing to match the funds of what people donate. They
Speaker 1: will give the money and the script to Lucasfilm on
Speaker 1: the condition that they make this movie or they'll remake
Speaker 1: it themselves, but just get so many donations, they'll buy
Speaker 1: the rights to Star Wars like it is hilariously it's
Speaker 1: so threatening and like such a little hazy face. Well right,
Speaker 1: it's so funny that they're not like it's like make
Speaker 1: your own movie. You have to make a fucking space movie, nobody,
Speaker 1: but I'll stop you. They're also taking donations, but not
Speaker 1: like in a way that it is. They're basically taking
Speaker 1: a pledge and an email address, so it's like a
Speaker 1: Jill Stein. Yes, but they're not taking real money and
Speaker 1: not verifying it so you can just go in and
Speaker 1: say there's a cap, but you can you want your
Speaker 1: name to the list of people that want this and
Speaker 1: say I'll give you. And then Ryan Johnson was like,
Speaker 1: great ideas come in No, but it's like it's like
Speaker 1: one of the points in the remake thing is like
Speaker 1: write it with a committee like a writer's room of
Speaker 1: fans and hated the Last Jedi. It's all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and then that's how great movies are made. That is
Speaker 1: how movies are made. That's what it's funny, Like how
Speaker 1: many movies are just like a committee of people. It is,
Speaker 1: how like it is like those movies all have like
Speaker 1: twenty people writing, but it's always amateur fans and those
Speaker 1: are bigger. Exactly what if those fourteen people were Twitter
Speaker 1: like maniacs, whould literally do not understand. They're mad that
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker and the new one isn't like the big
Speaker 1: tough boy that they really want, And Luke Skyworker was
Speaker 1: never he was always the number one soft boy. That
Speaker 1: was the whole thing about him is that he was
Speaker 1: kind of boring. And then Princess Leah and Han Solo
Speaker 1: are cool and you're like, he's that little hid that
Speaker 1: you're letting kick around, and then like uh Anakin or
Speaker 1: like baby Anakin was like cool Luke Skywalker and they
Speaker 1: hated that too. Yeah, you know, I mean it's very unclear.
Speaker 1: But the thing that is hilarious is in the threat
Speaker 1: after these guys announced this thing. It's just like people
Speaker 1: pitching ideas and the account going in and being like
Speaker 1: you have of course. That's It's a little bit like
Speaker 1: that Key and Peel sketch where the guys in the
Speaker 1: coked up writer's room for Gremlin's two and green lighting
Speaker 1: everything that gets pitched. But it's on Twitter about misogynists
Speaker 1: pitching ideas about why Carrie Fisher shouldn't have a big
Speaker 1: moment and why Ray shouldn't exist and why Calumrie trans
Speaker 1: I mean, don't they dare come for Carrie Fisher. But
Speaker 1: also it's like what is their pitch They're going to
Speaker 1: remake it with the c G I carry Fisher or files.
Speaker 1: They're gonna just like make her c G I and
Speaker 1: then like someone will come up and kick her in
Speaker 1: the stomach and they'll be like, hooray, we fixed Star Wars.
Speaker 1: Without being like to Hollywood elitists though too, it's also like, guys,
Speaker 1: the proposition that you think you can produce any movie
Speaker 1: at all, Like I would love to watch the documentary
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah it is, Yeah, it's like American movie. Obviously.
Speaker 1: The thing to do is we like we become the
Speaker 1: ghost producer and then we're like, this was like something
Speaker 1: that maybe really happened also where somebody sent a bunch
Speaker 1: of people to an island to make a fake movie
Speaker 1: as like a tax loophole, but anyway, we send them
Speaker 1: all to an island where the monsters live, and then
Speaker 1: it's a little well problem solved. Who's a German guy
Speaker 1: who makes all those like fake like literal tax right
Speaker 1: off movies just like adaptations of video games. It's like that.
Speaker 1: But for Star Wars, it's just it's just like we're
Speaker 1: joking about it. It's literally a matter of time before
Speaker 1: one of these people does something violent, so for Star Wars,
Speaker 1: but Star Wars spreads a message of peace across the universe.
Speaker 1: No it doesn't. It's called Star Wars. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, though it's not like Triumph of the Will,
Speaker 1: Like it's a movie about a bunch of like it is.
Speaker 1: Is that a cool black guy and Likenster? I know,
Speaker 1: but like how can it? That's not that's what the
Speaker 1: postmodern Nazis think, which I am like, note that's not true.
Speaker 1: We're at a different point, like the guy from Depeche
Speaker 1: Mode being like, no, my music is like not for fascists,
Speaker 1: it's like anti fascist, and you can't call it the
Speaker 1: music of the alt right because like, fuck you, I
Speaker 1: made it. Like can't George Lucas just be like fuck
Speaker 1: these these little kiddies. Well, but he I think, is
Speaker 1: a little bit like he's on their side because he
Speaker 1: sold the property on their side, but he's getting his
Speaker 1: ego stroke by them because they're all because they're like,
Speaker 1: you were so much better than the people now gone
Speaker 1: downhill and so he's so stupid. Ryan Johnson is like
Speaker 1: the best thing that's ever happened to that franchise. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's so weird. Well, here's what I thought it was
Speaker 1: about in a in a more naive and gentle manner.
Speaker 1: I thought it was like those people who remade a
Speaker 1: Last Crusade, you know about that. They were like people. No,
Speaker 1: it was like kids in Boston. It was like a
Speaker 1: thing I heard tale of in Providence because they would
Speaker 1: like show it. They were showing it for the first
Speaker 1: time or something. But it was like a documentary if
Speaker 1: there's somebody made a documentary about it. But it was
Speaker 1: like these three kids, like I think they were like
Speaker 1: brothers or something, and they like remade Last Crusade. Okay
Speaker 1: that they remade Last Crusade, not Last Crusade. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: the last art. They remade Raiders of the Lost Arc
Speaker 1: over a period of like ten years. Oh that sounds great.
Speaker 1: It was. It was great, And they remade it with
Speaker 1: like props from home, so they made like they just
Speaker 1: did all the effects with like practical home effects that
Speaker 1: like a twelve year old would have. And it's the
Speaker 1: greatest thing best Star Wars. It's the best. No, it's great,
Speaker 1: and that's totally what I thought this was. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh cool, a bunch of kids are going
Speaker 1: to remake Star Wars with like, No, that's not what
Speaker 1: this saves at all. I think it's safe to say
Speaker 1: if you read about Star Wars ever for present going forward,
Speaker 1: it's going to have some misogynist attached. That's so weird
Speaker 1: because again, like Carrie Fisher being the part of that
Speaker 1: franchise just to me always was like the thing that
Speaker 1: stopped it from being the worst, the worst nerd thing.
Speaker 1: But that was a little bit by accident because they
Speaker 1: treated her like a piece of meat. But again, she
Speaker 1: still got like jokes, she still got to like shoot
Speaker 1: a gun sometimes, you know, like she wasn't just she
Speaker 1: wasn't just a prize. She engaged intellectually, and like I've
Speaker 1: read about us, then she was a babe, but she
Speaker 1: was like a funny babe, which like she didn't have
Speaker 1: to be to be in that movie, and that's what
Speaker 1: make that makes those movies good at all. Guys, I
Speaker 1: hate to do this to you, but we have to.
Speaker 1: We have to talk about the bug dick energy the summer.
Speaker 1: We have to um, we touched on B movie last time.
Speaker 1: We were talking about the movie a lot, and that's
Speaker 1: what we're talking about the B being back in town.
Speaker 1: We need to talk about the good and bad bugs
Speaker 1: because it's summer. It's summer summers when the bugs inad
Speaker 1: bugs are so we got an email and it says
Speaker 1: high night call, High night call. For some reason, bugs
Speaker 1: in Japan are huge. The Japanese giant hornet can be
Speaker 1: four and a half centimeters long with a six centimeter wingspan,
Speaker 1: and the Japanese centipede can be the length and width
Speaker 1: of your arm, which is fucking terrifying. Both are extremely poisonous. No,
Speaker 1: thank you. You also have giant rhinoceros and stag beetles
Speaker 1: that I remember seeing kids play with play battle within
Speaker 1: the park like a slow, death free and cute version
Speaker 1: of dog fighting. I wonder why they got so big
Speaker 1: in Japan. And there's a bunch of videos of these
Speaker 1: ginormous bugs. How cool is that? Thanks for being a
Speaker 1: very chill podcast I can listen to without getting anxiety
Speaker 1: from opinions being shared. This comes from from Ji Hunt. Yes,
Speaker 1: thanks you, thank you. So I have to say that
Speaker 1: I looked up there's a website called tofugu dot com
Speaker 1: and they have a post about the worst Japanese bugs.
Speaker 1: But I might argue that some of these are the
Speaker 1: best Japanese bugs. Um the danky mushy. The electric bug
Speaker 1: is like really insane looking caterpillar with spiky green protrusions
Speaker 1: and it stings with a chemical that feels like an
Speaker 1: electric shock. We're gonna have to ask Emily because she
Speaker 1: is just getting back from because cool bugs. She posted
Speaker 1: a video These aren't bugs with their bug adjacent She
Speaker 1: posted like a forest just like with crabs in it. No,
Speaker 1: because it was raining so much that they thought it
Speaker 1: was the ocean and they were so cute. It was
Speaker 1: the coolest thing I've ever seen. It was like this incredible,
Speaker 1: like super green place. And then just the crustaceans are
Speaker 1: very closely from that. They also have There are two
Speaker 1: centif bugs in this list. The house centipede is good
Speaker 1: because it eats the other bugs. But there's a Japanese
Speaker 1: giant centipede that is fifteen inches long. It's the symbol
Speaker 1: of evil and Japanese mythology and has like a bite
Speaker 1: that will send you to the hospital. And then there's
Speaker 1: a Japanese the Japanese giant hornet. And I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: quote not only are these things huge, but they will
Speaker 1: also spray you in the eyes with a flesh melting
Speaker 1: poison if you catch them on a bad day. Oh
Speaker 1: did I mention? This poison is filled with pheromones that
Speaker 1: signal the rest of the hive to hunt you down
Speaker 1: and sting the living crap out of you until you
Speaker 1: can no longer move your limbs. That's supposed to feel
Speaker 1: like getting shot if you get I think so. Yes.
Speaker 1: They also say right afterwards that they wished guns were
Speaker 1: legal in Japan so they could shoot it. I chose
Speaker 1: not to read that because you should respect your insect overboard,
Speaker 1: I know, well that's I do respect them. Tess has
Speaker 1: always known a lot about bugs, and like a cool
Speaker 1: bug lady, she doesn't like to lead with it. Although
Speaker 1: I feel like you're more talking about it these days,
Speaker 1: I'm easing my way out. She knows a lot about bugs.
Speaker 1: Um do you guys have favorite or at least favorite bugs? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: I got taken. Mine was going to be crabs. They're not.
Speaker 1: Are they technically bugs? Neither? A spiders call spiders bugs?
Speaker 1: Is bugs a hundred percent coincident with insects, because I
Speaker 1: would argue, you could argue that bugs are sex and
Speaker 1: spiders are under the bugs. Insects spiders, and of course
Speaker 1: the bugs funny are under the bugs. On bro. It
Speaker 1: was like when you call a group of people guys. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: guys are bugs. I respect all the bugs. I particularly
Speaker 1: am fond of bees, bees, bees, the scorpions that hold
Speaker 1: their close up like what's up? Yeah? Yeah, why are
Speaker 1: you so into Arthur? Look, Andrew knows about crab last night?
Speaker 1: From where from his home? Yeah? Andrew cooks crab like
Speaker 1: a hundred times a week. Wait are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He mentioned this. I forget when we were talking about it,
Speaker 1: but he talked about like, you know, when you have
Speaker 1: all that crab stock and your phrasing freezer picture looks
Speaker 1: so a crab for lunch every day, busting out, what
Speaker 1: do you do with the crabs that you cook? Like?
Speaker 1: What right in the pot? So you do? Like do
Speaker 1: you do like Southern style boil? Or like what do
Speaker 1: you what are you throwing in? Just steam in there
Speaker 1: and then headed with black vinegar. And I actually just
Speaker 1: had it with nothing, but I also had a bunch
Speaker 1: of duck fats sitting around. So I made a duck
Speaker 1: fat use butter Andrew, why can't we work word this
Speaker 1: in your garage? Yeah? And it smells like crab. It's
Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty gross. I just went to the boiling
Speaker 1: Crab the other day. Do you go to the restaurant, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the sucker move. No, no, no, the one in
Speaker 1: Burbank is totally empty. Okay, get it together. Here's the
Speaker 1: pro tem for Kaytown. Yeah, you can get it to go.
Speaker 1: But there's a bar that you say that that will
Speaker 1: let you bring your to go nasty ass crabs. They're um, yeah,
Speaker 1: the one, the one in Kaytown. We would go to
Speaker 1: and then sit at the bar. But if your if
Speaker 1: you have children, um, many children will not I'm finding
Speaker 1: but one of mine will soft to go to the
Speaker 1: first naughty crab. You go before they open it, and
Speaker 1: then you're the first person to sit down and you're
Speaker 1: waiting on by like a sixteen year old, and I was,
Speaker 1: I said, the most disconcerting thing is like it immediately
Speaker 1: brings me back to being a waiter and looking at
Speaker 1: a group of people like me and my family being like,
Speaker 1: oh no, they're gonna need so many napkins. They're just
Speaker 1: gonna be loud. Town boiling crabs so many times last
Speaker 1: year that they remembered my order one time and I
Speaker 1: was like, I need to stop. What do you get? Why?
Speaker 1: I'll go with a bunch of Chinese people. So it's
Speaker 1: dungeness crabs, shrimp and um the clams and Manila clams,
Speaker 1: and then the sausage and then rice for everyone because
Speaker 1: they have good like Korean rice. They're weirdly. Really, what
Speaker 1: you do is you make a little rice bowl rif
Speaker 1: ball in your hand with all the seafood you want,
Speaker 1: jam the whole thing in your mouth. What do you
Speaker 1: get a sauce on it? Or just like you order
Speaker 1: at the boiling I do the crawfish and the snow crab,
Speaker 1: and I do why do the crawfish. I'm gonna throw
Speaker 1: this to you guys. Would you eat bugs? Well, that's
Speaker 1: what I think of. We're all dancing around here like
Speaker 1: a bunch of dancing shromp. I would eat crickets, except
Speaker 1: for the fact that I'm very superstitious about crickets, and
Speaker 1: even though I eat meat, I have trouble like picturing
Speaker 1: eating a like eating the head and body. No, but
Speaker 1: it's weird because like craw fish, you really come face
Speaker 1: to face with that, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 1: maybe with crabs and lobsters too, you're really aware of
Speaker 1: Like I'm eating a sea bug. Well, I stopped eating
Speaker 1: octopus because I just reasulation too much about Yeah, they
Speaker 1: found out that in nineteen sixty four. I think that
Speaker 1: cockroaches learn from their mistakes. That's what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: I respect the bugs because I fear the bugs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we should fears. I think there's something scary about like
Speaker 1: a million of something small that is really disconcerting to
Speaker 1: think that. I used to play a space video am
Speaker 1: where you could build like like your space army or
Speaker 1: spaceships or whatever, and the key was actually just to
Speaker 1: make you know everyone's building these big cruisers or whatever.
Speaker 1: It was actually just to get like fifteen thousand of
Speaker 1: the smallest one and have a huge cloud face off
Speaker 1: against You can't kill it, because maybe we have to
Speaker 1: get the bugs to go against the in cells because
Speaker 1: they're all just a bunch of tiny in cells versus insects.
Speaker 1: And we can crowdfund this movie, you guys. Oh you
Speaker 1: know what, Actually, I don't even know if I want
Speaker 1: to give this strategy away, but a friend of mine,
Speaker 1: it's basically bio terrorism, is what I'm saying. Before you
Speaker 1: say they can't take it trademark, but also disclaimer that
Speaker 1: we're not really doing this. Um A friend of mine
Speaker 1: telling me about these ants. I think they're called I
Speaker 1: want to say they're called raspberry ants, but maybe I
Speaker 1: made that up. The eat like computer cords what? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: why because they just do because they're just good ants
Speaker 1: and they're like the worker ants. They want to be
Speaker 1: off the grid and they want to be off the
Speaker 1: good they're like, you know, because bugs and computers are
Speaker 1: named for like literal bugs that would get in computers.
Speaker 1: But it really just makes you makes you think about
Speaker 1: how a computer programmer when the punch card days. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the idea that bugs could like completely funk us up
Speaker 1: technologically is something that I find like just so alluring
Speaker 1: because I'm like, you know, that's where we get in
Speaker 1: thinking we're better than bugs. Yeah, bugs and bots like
Speaker 1: the bugs were here before us and they'll hereafter. That's
Speaker 1: why cockroaches like I I don't know. I think it's
Speaker 1: also interesting to like dissect why I'm grossed out by bugs.
Speaker 1: But not other things. You know, like it's because they're
Speaker 1: scary and they're threatening, but it's like we're conditioned to
Speaker 1: be scared of them. But like, why do I think
Speaker 1: like a tiger is cute? You know, it's because of
Speaker 1: bigger Why is like a butterfly beautiful but a moth
Speaker 1: is creepy? I still like, well, I love moths, yeah,
Speaker 1: but butterflies have it are dusty, but do not. It's
Speaker 1: just a color palet collar to the nightcall question. If
Speaker 1: there was a question, it's because Jef hands in island. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're right there, you go. Islands always have the gnarliest evolution,
Speaker 1: like Madagascar. How it has all of these uniques. Madagascar
Speaker 1: has also some fucking super sick Yeah. Well, Andrew, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for having stopping the problems. Let's just
Speaker 1: go around and say our top, our top and least
Speaker 1: top bug. Okay, dungeoness crab is top and least top
Speaker 1: would be the common mosquito, common mosquito, deadliest insect. I'm
Speaker 1: going to say that my least favorite is the tick,
Speaker 1: and my most favorite is the lunum off. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say my favorite since I already said bees, I've been
Speaker 1: really into silkworms recently reading about silkworms. They're super cool
Speaker 1: and fascinating. You know, my friends getting to be hiven.
Speaker 1: My neighbors have some bees. These are cool. Go respect
Speaker 1: what's your least oh my least favorite? Uh? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to like hate on ants because I
Speaker 1: respect them, but like, man, I've seen my kitchen ants.
Speaker 1: I've seen my peacefulness turned to blood lust with the
Speaker 1: ants because you're like, it's me versus them. Well, if
