0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>into the phone dress like business people. Yeah, we made

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Tony came up with the idea for it, and we

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>we got like like a real ass photo shoot, which

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>is really good. It made me be like I would

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>like to watch this legal drama were new and Tonny

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>or a couple of people yelling into phones. Also to

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>say Andrew's podcast was one of our first favorite podcasts.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>How long have you been doing? You know, as this

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>racist a long time now, like four years, three years,

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>four years, endless lifetime. And I was when I when

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I first started podcasting. The deal with your Wolf the

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>company was don't worry, We're not gonna make any money,

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>but the idea is we'll try. We'll try to turn

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>this into a TV show because they're also TV producers.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>And I was great, And then later on they were like, actually,

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>it turns out people can make money from podcasting, so

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to try. And now you're making so

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>much money as a podcaster, as are we all. Yeah,

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>a true pioneer in the field. I had to Yeah,

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I change it up. Yeah, but I mean you've been

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>doing that podcast for a long time now. It's very good,

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>actually useful podcast. I think it was the first one

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I ever listened to. Yeah, jeez, yeah, we I've had

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>like five podcasts since then, including one that you were

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>my co host. Oh my god, yeah, North Mollywood. Alright,

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>do you know that that was just like one year ago.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>You had girls in hoodies, girls and hoodies. Then you

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>had and I had it was called the Lambert Report.

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>How wait what? I had a show by myself on

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Greatland for a while after the Girls in Hoodies were

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>no longer. They're called the Lambert Report because there was

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>like an episode of Melrose Place I watched where somebody

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, look at these statistics from the Lambert Report, like,

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that's my show name. I couldn't find the clip ever again,

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>so I could never really explain why that was the show.

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it sounds so serious. It's like the Palmer

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I thought it was funny, and you know,

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>it sort of is to me, that is super funny.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>And then Dave Shelling was my co host on that

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit. And then I had North Mollywood

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>at MTV. Yeah, I missed the Lambert Report, and it's

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a brief it was, you know, only the truest side. Yeah,

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>it's all it's all a unified universe of Molly Lambert podcasting.

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.519
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was Actually did say it was the

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Lambert Account, No, the Lamber Okay, I called it the

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Lambert Account because Bill Simmons had a podcast called the

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>The BS Report, and then there was the Lambert Account

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>on Melrose place remember that, and I thought it was funny,

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>but I had like Megan am Ram on it was

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>basically just like a dry run for Molly Sleazy Friends.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>It was just like me interviewing people one at a time. Uh,

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>shout out, Megan am ram get get it. You have

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that that night. I hope she get it. Actually, if

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we're plugging my old podcasts, uh, the very first one

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I did, like seven years ago, just on a laptop,

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>was called A Round of Applause with Travis and Andrew.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Four episodes and you can still find them. My college

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>radio show is called Live from the Masterdome because that

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>was the name of the auditorium and my friend Lizzie's school,

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>and I thought it was funny. Uh. And I totally

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>tricked them into giving me a show where I just

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 1>talked a lot because I did a radio theater show

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>and then I like found out how much work it

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>was to produce radio theater every week. I didn't produce

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>like two plays on like live plays, and then I

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, what if instead of that, I just like

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>play fire sign theater cuts and then like talk in between.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>But it was definitely sort of the the framework for

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>all the podcasting I Do, which is talked about on

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>North Mollywood about reading one of those plays. We never

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>made it. The best play that Molly's ever written as

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>an ice Cream Man for All Seasons, which she wrote

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>in twelfth grade. Yeah, yeah, this is a very good play.

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>My sister was just at home in Michigan and she

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 1>started sending me, like texting me pictures from a picture

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>book I wrote when I was I must have been like,

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I think fourth or fifth grade or something. That was

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that the one where it looked like you were trying

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to overthrow the government? Yeah, I saw that. It's super fascist.

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Though it's about the Secret Agent Union. For some reason,

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>I was really anti Secret Agent Union at the time,

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>which I guess is fair. I mean, at least they

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>were a union. We're going to post this on our

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 1>on our instagrae. This kind of reminds me of do

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you guys know there's a comics guy named Ben Mara

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>who's really awesome. He does these really awesome comics. I

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.719
<v Speaker 1>love his comics. He has a comic called Night Business

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that totally is like of the Night Call Universe that

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>all just takes place like at night. It's like all

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>eighties movie action kind of troops. You would love it.

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>He did one called One Man War on Terrorism. That's

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>really like they're sort of like parodies of like super

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>super far right like action e you know, military eighties

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>comic stuff. You would love it. Speaking of angry men

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>SPEAKINGSM Test, I just would love you to lead off

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>with the thing you just told me about who invented

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the term in cell? You just learned yesterday. So here's

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the deal. I haven't looked ever at the Wikipedia for

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in cells because I get so anxious and angry when

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I read the New York Times and some up ed

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>columnists is saying, hey, look well let's read distribute sex

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>because the insults have a point. So I forced myself

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>for the podcast to look into the Wikipedia for in cells.

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>The first time that the term in cell was used

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>was in by a woman named a Lana. She was

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a Canadian college student, and so she made a website

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk about being like socially awkward and not having sex,

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and then that turned into a newsletter and then the

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>term was co opted obviously by a bunch of people

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>who suck um, and she was appalled, and I guess

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>eventually she discovered that she was queer and like things

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>gone much better for her, and she was like, oh,

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I was just like figuring stuff out. You know,

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it was nice to have a community and now that's

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>been totally weaponized and is awful in Wikipedia's as. When

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Alana read about is Lesta killings and the way parts

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.239
<v Speaker 1>of the insult subculture glorified the perpetrator, Elliott Roger, she wrote,

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>like a scientist who invented something that ended up being

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a weapon of war, I can't uninvent the word nor

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>restrict it to the nicer people who need it, and

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>so that's crazy, you know. That's also like I feel

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>like that's so similar to like Matt Fury, who did

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Boys Club, the comic that Pepe comes from, and who

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>is not a Peppe at all and hates Pepe's And

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like, wow, like my character, you know, just because

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of like randomly being chosen for them and becoming like

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>imagine that if you're like your creation becomes just like

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a symbol of everything bad that you hate. Uh. Yeah,

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>it was intended to be the opposite of what it was,

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I didn't know that. It's so weird to

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the way that like the far right, all right people

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>have like weaponized identity politics as though it's like something

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 1>for them, you know, but like the way they used terminology,

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're just postmodern Nazis, that's what it is. The

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>postmodern Nazis is very confusing to me because I was

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>like saying yesterday, like I was looking at Alex Jones

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>twitter feed because he was talking about how, oh, you

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>guys got plans for July four? I got the Democrats

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.239
<v Speaker 1>are starting the civil war on July four, and everybody

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, no, nobody's organized enough to get it going.

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Come on, guys, maybe next year. I was like, sail yeah.

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>But then his other tweet, he had like a Malcolm

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 1>X tweet and it was like a Malcolm X quote.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't google it to see if it was a

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>real quote. I think it might have been, uh, but

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>it was like a picture of Malcolm X with an

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Info Wars graphic on it, and the quote is from

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm X saying don't trust the media, which is true

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>for him and not true for white men, right that

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>like they but it's also like just to drop that

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of this fee that's also all this

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>white supremacist like incitement of like, you know, white men

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>are going extinct and stuff, and it's just like to

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.439
<v Speaker 1>think that you can just like throw Malcolm X in

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>there with no context and be like this all goes together.

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess is the postmodernism part that I'm just like, like, what,

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.839
<v Speaker 1>I also have a postmodern white supremacy because that's the idea.

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like, well, obviously like we're not racist, but like

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>we just cracism, except where really want to kill those people.

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they even necessarily do. It's just like, well,

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody somebody said, do you, like, do you really want

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to know the answer to this? This guy who on

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Twitter goes by Webb, who's cool. He was like, here's

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>what I have like decided about this or you know,

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>heard about this. Is like that it is that the

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>white supremacists like like Malcolm X because he was a

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.839
<v Speaker 1>black separatist. Oh, I don't think it reaches out to

0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 1>you because what like what supremocists will use Martin Lucer, right,

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess, So yeah, I was like that seems like

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>like because they were like, you know, because they also

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>want like separatism, and I was like, I don't think

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the kind of separatism they want is like it does

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>everyone gets their own land. But I think it's it

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't need to be that consistent. It's just like they're

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 1>not consistent at all, and that's what's so like freaky

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>about it. Yeah, but here, okay, this is the same thing.

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>That's like like all the people are like, oh, Mitch McConnell,

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 1>like we can just point out what a hypocrite he

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>is and held back. And the thing is, it's not

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a hypocrite. It's just like every moment of every action

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>is just in the service of white supremacy with no

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 1>for or or pretty thought to it. And if you

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 1>realize that's how they operate, it's all totally consistent. But

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>also their whole ideology is to be like if you

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>say that, they're like, you're the Nazi for calling us Nazis, Like,

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>how dare you accuse us of this horrible thing that

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>we would never do? And that's like test Nitis did

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>this podcast Behind the Bastards where we talked about we

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 1>talked a lot of ship on Nancy Reagan for a

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>long time, and it was not she was not the bastard,

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.439
<v Speaker 1>by the way, she was not the person her astrologer

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>was the bastard. Jone Quigly and Molly and I were like,

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.199
<v Speaker 1>we were just we were we were not given an it.

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah exactly, We're just like, no one should feel bad

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>for manipulating Nancy Reagan, she's a trash person. Well also,

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean what it kind of boils downto is that

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Reagan's astrologer was also a kind of like rich socialite,

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>white lady whose politics were also bad. But the decisions

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Reagan was making were Nancy Reagan's decisions. The astrologers

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>just told her when to do it. So what we

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 1>learned was that the Reagans held all their meetings and

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 1>press conferences at like super weird times because the astrologer

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:50.719
<v Speaker 1>told them they had to, which was really like Christian astrology. No,

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it was like literally, this lady who was the astrologer

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>was like a rich San Francisco white lady, socialite who

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to do a straw ology for poor people.

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>She had a column in seventeen magazine and then she

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, no, like the hordes don't deserve to know

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>about the stars. Only like very rich and famous people

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>should know, and I will be the one who guides them.

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And then she became Nancy Reagan's astrologer. Test and I

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 1>were just talking a lot about the Reagan years and

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.559
<v Speaker 1>about the Reagans and how much they sucked and how

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>so many of the policies of the Trump administration are

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>just like the same stuff but more naked, you know,

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and that that's what horrifies people, is the idea that

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like they're not putting the gloves on, they're not

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>hiding behind a facade of like fancy white people's stuff'd

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>be fair. I think the Reagans would have absolutely hated

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>what Trump was doing, of course, but it's all like respectability.

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>It's the way, yes, exactly, it's but it's like white supremacy,

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>respectability politics. It's like they, you know, how how dare

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you be like a low class white like we're you know,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>British colonizers. You're like put a crown on it. Like

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Republicans have been this our entire lifetimes. And I wager

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the lifetime of anyone listening to this podcast. Hey, there

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>might be one ageless demon or like year old, like

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>what's that great grandma. Yeah, none of the policies are different, right,

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>It's all the same ship, I mean, but in cells

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>and premises are overlapping ven diets. They are overlapping. Basically,

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's that thing where someone predicted what

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>would happen in or something. Again, I don't know if

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.599
<v Speaker 1>this is even real or if somebody retcondom meme to

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>make it look like it predicted the future, but it

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, here's what's going to happen, Like the in

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>cells are going to team up with the four chan

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>people and they're going to get into neo fascism. But

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>it's like, if you had said that to anyone in

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you would have been like, nah, that's crazy. Somebody else

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.959
<v Speaker 1>is telling me that. Like to chan, which is the

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>board that four chan was based off of, do it

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>for the luws, fucking you know, doxing people, just all

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the stuff we associate with, like the dark side of

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the dark side of the Internet, and that to chan

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>eventually turned into like a Japanese like fascist nationalist just

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>because it's a lot of like alienated, basement dwelling white

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>guys who are like, I'm not going to get mine.

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I can weaponize my anger about that and make everyone afraid,

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and then I have power. I mean, the thing I

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>get super pisted about with the in cells, although now

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that I know that where insul comes from, I'm also like, yeah,

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>like what about the lady in culls? Like male in

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>cells at least have the option of like paying for sex,

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you know. I guess there's like that saying that male

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>nerds do where they're just like any woman can have sex,

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like any time she wants. There was nothing so chilling

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>though about this wave of editorials and kind of opinions

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>being like, well, what if every woman did feel like

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe they should? And it was like I clutched my

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>problem because I was like, I can't believe this is

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 1>being aired as a real opinion in a time when

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>there are lots of really important things happening, and this

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>is definitely not the important thing. But it also reminded

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>me of like in like junior high. I was like, okay,

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I remember being like thirteen and like realizing that like

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>everyone just liked the hot people and being like wait,

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>like all the everyone just likes the too hot people,

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Like why can't we like put the people of similar

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 1>social status together, you know, trying to like put logic

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>into it, and then it's like because nobody wants to

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>be with the person that's like the same as them.

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, like if you showed all these insults the

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>woman that they deserve or like not that they deserve

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>any women, but like the female equivalent of them, they

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be into it. You know. They're like also adding

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a level of male entitlement of like we deserve hot

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>chicks for just like being men in the world, which

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>is like the part that makes me insane. I mean,

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I just to go back to the predicting thing. It

0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>was clear these guys were misogynists who were absolutely ready

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to be you know, fascist in the way that bigotry

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>always been sex with everything else. Or I didn't think

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>they would take it to real life. I thought it

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>was like the Internet cesspool just would like stay there,

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you know that they were all like cowards. Well yeah

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they are, but the thing, the thing towers of access

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to weapons and then access to a community. That's why

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I I've always been like of the you know people

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>who are like it's just better when the racism is

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 1>out in the open. It's like, I actually just prefer

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>when I know who the racists are, or isn't it

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 1>better to have it out in the open than have

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it like simmered and you know, buried and simmering somewhere.

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I disagree with that. The analogy I think I've used

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>on my podcast is like it's like putting out a fire,

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>a camp fire, Like, yes, if you bury the coals,

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>there are definitely still coals under the dirt, but the

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>odds of those coals catching another piece of wood on

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>fire and making two coals is much smaller when you bury.

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Don't know, I mean, I feel like there again just

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about like the respectability of like the styles of racism,

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Like people in California are like delusional, especially you know,

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>left wing people. A lot of people are just delusional

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>that California is like a good place where good people

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 1>live and like that it doesn't happen here, and it

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 1>does happen here all the time. This woman in Simi

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Valley just like yelled at a kid who was like

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that picture was horrifying. That picture is horrifying, And my

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>friend Ski was posting it like this isn't Seemi Valley, Like,

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's an ice facility downtown like by the

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Mayor's office, like it is super in Los Angeles everywhere,

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and just like the way racism exists here, it's just

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>different than it. There's another placed city. Well, all cities

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>are segregated. I feel like, yeah, it's segregated. I guess

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.879
<v Speaker 1>because it's so big and because of the planning. I mean,

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>also because it's become so expensive. That's another factor for sure.

0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>But I mean it's it's difficult to to see the

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.920
<v Speaker 1>proposition that you know, California be split into three states.

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I have a take on that. It's my

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>hot take. Give it. The only cal exit that I'm

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>pro is. My idea is calm exit. Yes, and we

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:20.120
<v Speaker 1>give California back to Mexico. You know what. Yeah, that's

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the problem is that anytime, you know, you lose so

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.120
<v Speaker 1>much power. Again, these are things that I'm like, these

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 1>are funny to think about because like, no one's going

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.359
<v Speaker 1>to die from like us all thinking about it. You know, well,

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 1>well here's why some people will die is that it

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:39.440
<v Speaker 1>will so literally, if that happens, it'll solidify it. Basically,

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:44.160
<v Speaker 1>those three um states will have two of them will

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>be Republicans. Oh yeah, I don't think it will happen. Yeah,

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's in anyone's interest for it to happen.

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.880
<v Speaker 1>It's basically jerrymannering, you're pushing all the liberals. Well, it's

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>like trying to make up for a mistake they made

0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>in the first place, which was just like getting this

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 1>huge piece of land from Mexico, but also the end,

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.439
<v Speaker 1>which is like I'm like, just give it back to Mexican.

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.119
<v Speaker 1>But the original Calax it was packaged as kind of

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 1>like it was packaged to liberals, and I was gulli

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>because they were like, get ourselves out. They were like,

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll legalize weed, which they did, Like we're,

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, very democratic state in general. I'm not letting

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.159
<v Speaker 1>the tech bros get in charge. This was this was

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>it was funded by a guy with Russian ties? Was

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>he actually Russian? I want to remember? And Peter tell Is,

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>did he actually tell lives here, Elon Musk lives here?

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Miller group, right, but like white supremacy, Yeah right,

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it's hard for me, like I've realized that. So you're

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about this on I guess. It was a Molly

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Sleazy Friends reunion episode of North Mollywood where we talked

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 1>about land Runner Runner h and I was like saying

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 1>that the scary thing about the Blade Runner reboot was

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that it was like very white, and everybody was like, well,

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 1>it takes place in l A. And I was like, oh,

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.640
<v Speaker 1>well that's the super dystopian future. Is like that these

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>white supremacists like want for l A to be that,

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you know where they see it and they just see land,

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, which is just colonialism, is just being like, Hey,

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 1>this thing where all this stuff exists is a blank

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>slate and I can't wait to put my stuff here

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>because the other thing that happens in the New Blood

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Runner is that San Diego is just the landfill for Yeah,

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>but that's funny. Yeah, yeah, But you were like, you're

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this more than the people who made Blade

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Runner thought about it. They're stupid people. Maybe you need

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to do another Blood Runner. Blob the Inhaler get high

0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 1>and you have to watch a Blade Runner. Wait, you guys,

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 1>did we just make a spin off that we're actually

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>going to do out there? Well? Speaking of franchises, oh man,

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>let's hear first about what is happening with Star Wars.

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 1>What happened? Oh man, I can't believe y'all had not

0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 1>heard about this. There's so much happening all the time.

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like allergic to Star Wars, you guys, so to

0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>dovetail from in cells as these people, a group of

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars fans quote unquote who are very mad at

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 1>the new Star World star selves. There's cell of it, yes,

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and they are really mad for reasons that they typically

0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>articulate as, oh, you're ruining the legacy of Star Wars, which,

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 1>by the way, three super boring movies. Star Wars movies

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>are the boring ist um and what you know, it's

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>sort of like like what we're talking about in politics.

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like they use the language of a little bit

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>of film criticism, a little bit of like sort of

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.880
<v Speaker 1>protecting nostalgia, a little bit of like, you know, keep

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 1>keep Star Wars great or whatever. I've been on film Twitter. Yeah,

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 1>but the underlying message is we don't like change and

0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't like diversity. So that's why they're extra mad

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 1>at the new Diversity and change are ruining the movies.

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>But like, did they like the second three that nobody liked?

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Did they like Anakin? I assume those movies were pretty boring,

0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and what maybe they just think it's getting worse and

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>worse with each iteration. I think the new ones knew

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>these the current iteration. I think there's a revisionist history

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 1>about how much they like the prequels. And the other

0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:19.880
<v Speaker 1>thing that they really hone in on is the fact

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that the head of Lucasfilm post Disney acquisition is a woman,

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>um who has produced a lot of really good, big movies. Yeah,

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>well she's a woman. Critically is the thing that they're

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 1>most matas. So do they know that a woman is

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>in charge of the James Bond movies? Also, like, don't

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 1>tell them Molly, those movies are bad too. I was

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 1>never a Star Wars person. Emily Yoshida, are resident Star

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Wars fan is not here today, but she'll come back

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 1>to tell us about why Star Wars is good and

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>we're wrong. Uh, Star Wars is fine. But here's the

0:22:57.840 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 1>thing with Star Wars is the best Star Wars movie

0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:02.879
<v Speaker 1>is whatever the last one you saw? Yeah, I don't know, Okay.

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I have seen the first hours a lot of times

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>and always like this is boring. I don't care. And

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 1>then I finally watched the second two and I was like, oh,

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 1>these are good. Second one, Yeah, sure, they're They're just fine.

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>They're great. Empire stricks Back is a good movie. I'm

0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:21.879
<v Speaker 1>but I'm also like, I'm such a non traditional list

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>that I like the Eoks, you know, yea true Star

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Wars fans. I think I thought theos were an abomination. No,

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 1>but see that's the thing. It's like, so there's this

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 1>group of white guys who are like the gatekeepers, who

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.399
<v Speaker 1>are you know, the same people you see at a

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>working at a comic bookstore or a guitar store. I

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>think I just always assume some of these people, like I.

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like that really good First Black Mirror episode about

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Star Trek. Oh, yeah, you know what I mean. Like,

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:51.239
<v Speaker 1>if someone's an introvert who likes comic books like I

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 1>don't assume they're like secretly like a homicidal, like misogynist maniac.

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>But it turns out a lot of them are. Like

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>I just was like, well, look, they're allowed to have

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 1>their opinions, but what are they doing. No, they're not

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>allowed to have their opinions. They're not allowed they're trying

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 1>to remake Star Wars. So these so these guys have

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 1>basically been throwing a hissy fit since the new J. J.

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Abrams one came out. What is I don't remember what

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 1>it's called. Um, you know, they and The Last Jedi

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:20.479
<v Speaker 1>they like among you know, they always have campaigns. They

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:26.160
<v Speaker 1>harass Kelly Murray tran off of Yea. They always point

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to the fact that the Run Tomatoes film score is

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 1>way lower than the critics score, right, because they like

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.880
<v Speaker 1>because they stuff the ballots and like, for what it's worth,

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 1>what's the other one like Metacritic or one of those

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 1>does one based on polling, random sampling as opposed to

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 1>people will go and guess what? Most people love The

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Last Jedi because it's great, right, because it's for fucking children. Yeah,

0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>but also it's for it's diverse and it's for everyone.

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I will just say, molly like using the terminology which

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:57.439
<v Speaker 1>real Star Wars fans plays into their rhetoric, which is

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:02.400
<v Speaker 1>that these white misogyn nerds are the ones who are

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the real fans of a multibillion dollar franchise, Like guess what, right,

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Not just you guys, Yeah, you're You're not the only

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:15.119
<v Speaker 1>person who likes Zeppelin, the smallest part of this pie,

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.520
<v Speaker 1>but the loudest. That's what I'm like. I'm like, why

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>do we pander to these people by giving them any

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 1>airtime at all? And it's like because they're so loud.

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Why does anyone let anyone right about white white in

0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:29.439
<v Speaker 1>cults should like redistribute sex or like because with like

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the aim and Bundy people, it's because they're like dangerous

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:37.920
<v Speaker 1>white men who I'm just like, I can you know, well,

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 1>we can't correct like mass shootings because we refuse to

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge that problem. So that's why we have to give

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>their argument creative. I have to make them afraid of us.

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But you also you have you have to understand, you know,

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to like let the message seep in enough

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 1>so that you can rebut it you can't be ignored

0:25:57.359 --> 0:26:00.400
<v Speaker 1>about it is I was using scarecrows around the Yeah,

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:02.639
<v Speaker 1>we have to let them merit out. It's because like

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the media like New York Times needs to give in

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 1>cells a bunch of columnentches to make their point. But

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't we live in a misogynist, sexist or racist society

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>that makes these people entitled? I wouldn't be thinking about

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.719
<v Speaker 1>like what if you could write that op ed though,

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>we're like, hey, I've got an idea, like let's just

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 1>cut everyone's dicks off, you know, Like that to me

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>is just the same of an idea. It's like, hey,

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. I know we haven't thought about it before,

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 1>but like, dicks make a lot of problems in this world,

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and what if we just cut them all off? Well,

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I think in particular the context that the and this

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>is again we're like hop hopping and skipping around the topics.

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:44.879
<v Speaker 1>But I think when you are a woman or a

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 1>person of color and you see a lot of terrifying signals,

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and then somebody writes in the New York Times like, hey,

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 1>it's not that crazy to talk about redistributing sex and

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>also one thing, sex robots and sex workers into this

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:02.160
<v Speaker 1>same paragraph, as though they are the same. I mean

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that it's a it's a terrifying thing. I mean, so

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>when you when you start thinking about, like, let's cut

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 1>their dicks off, it would seem preposterous because there haven't

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>been all of these incremental, you know, losses of dignity

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and really terrifying laws being proposed that target people with dicks. Well,

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.240
<v Speaker 1>speaking of targeting people with dicks, one of the Star

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Wars people wrote this manifesto about Why the Last Jedi,

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and there's a line in it about how one of

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the problems with it is that it denigrates masculinity somehow,

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>which is like, oh, you're supposed to say the quiet

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:39.159
<v Speaker 1>parts like a little baby bitch boy who knows it

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.679
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. I mean, basically, I think it's because like

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the idea that a woman could be a Jedi is

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 1>very upset because that is so weird to me. Because

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing about Star Wars is that you have

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Princess Leiah who is like essentially a Jedi, you know, like,

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and they hadnal apartment, had a sword and stuff. Like

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing about those movies that makes them more

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 1>tolerable to me than like other boring dude things is

0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:02.919
<v Speaker 1>like that there's a woman in them, and that the

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.679
<v Speaker 1>woman is Carrie Fisher. You know that they could have

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 1>cast like a hot chick who doesn't say anything the

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.119
<v Speaker 1>whole time, and instead it's like Carrie Fisher and like

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:13.919
<v Speaker 1>she and Harrison Ford have great sexual tension, and like

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what makes those movies good. Like the Disney Machine

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.119
<v Speaker 1>idea of like we're just going to pump out a

0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>million Star Wars and like they'll all make money forever

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 1>has like the fact that like Solo did not do

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 1>well for them and that nobody was like okay, like

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>let's just stop forever. Like that's what those people ostensibly wanted,

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.199
<v Speaker 1>was a movie about how cool it is to be

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>hand solo. And like, by the way, manifesto was like

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 1>one phone screen. It's okay, they're not. It's a it's

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 1>meant to look I assume like a Star Wars crawl. Right,

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>it's too long, but not as long as you'd be scared.

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I was going to say, too, is like

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 1>when I kept seeing stuff about the Star Wars remake

0:28:55.640 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>because people are making fun of it online, including Ryan Johnson,

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 1>who right, so this is choose everything. I mean sort

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of they're the same people. But those people wanted to

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 1>remake the Last Jedi there like this movie, Stuch, We're

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>going to make a better movie. Give the money to us,

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the fans. So here's their pitch. They claim they have

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>an investor who's willing to match funds, a producer who's

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.719
<v Speaker 1>willing to match the funds of what people donate. They

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>will give the money and the script to Lucasfilm on

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the condition that they make this movie or they'll remake

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 1>it themselves, but just get so many donations, they'll buy

0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the rights to Star Wars like it is hilariously it's

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>so threatening and like such a little hazy face. Well right,

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 1>it's so funny that they're not like it's like make

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 1>your own movie. You have to make a fucking space movie, nobody,

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 1>but I'll stop you. They're also taking donations, but not

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 1>like in a way that it is. They're basically taking

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a pledge and an email address, so it's like a

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Jill Stein. Yes, but they're not taking real money and

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>not verifying it so you can just go in and

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 1>say there's a cap, but you can you want your

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 1>name to the list of people that want this and

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>say I'll give you. And then Ryan Johnson was like,

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 1>great ideas come in No, but it's like it's like

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the points in the remake thing is like

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 1>write it with a committee like a writer's room of

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>fans and hated the Last Jedi. It's all this stuff,

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and then that's how great movies are made. That is

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 1>how movies are made. That's what it's funny, Like how

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>many movies are just like a committee of people. It is,

0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 1>how like it is like those movies all have like

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty people writing, but it's always amateur fans and those

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 1>are bigger. Exactly what if those fourteen people were Twitter

0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:45.720
<v Speaker 1>like maniacs, whould literally do not understand. They're mad that

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Luke Skywalker and the new one isn't like the big

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 1>tough boy that they really want, And Luke Skyworker was

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>never he was always the number one soft boy. That

0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 1>was the whole thing about him is that he was

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of boring. And then Princess Leah and Han Solo

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 1>are cool and you're like, he's that little hid that

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 1>you're letting kick around, and then like uh Anakin or

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 1>like baby Anakin was like cool Luke Skywalker and they

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 1>hated that too. Yeah, you know, I mean it's very unclear.

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>But the thing that is hilarious is in the threat

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 1>after these guys announced this thing. It's just like people

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 1>pitching ideas and the account going in and being like

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you have of course. That's It's a little bit like

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that Key and Peel sketch where the guys in the

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>coked up writer's room for Gremlin's two and green lighting

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:29.560
<v Speaker 1>everything that gets pitched. But it's on Twitter about misogynists

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 1>pitching ideas about why Carrie Fisher shouldn't have a big

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>moment and why Ray shouldn't exist and why Calumrie trans

0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, don't they dare come for Carrie Fisher. But

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>also it's like what is their pitch They're going to

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:44.320
<v Speaker 1>remake it with the c G I carry Fisher or files.

0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna just like make her c G I and

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 1>then like someone will come up and kick her in

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the stomach and they'll be like, hooray, we fixed Star Wars.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Without being like to Hollywood elitists though too, it's also like, guys,

0:31:56.720 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the proposition that you think you can produce any movie

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 1>at all, Like I would love to watch the documentary

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of this. Yeah it is, Yeah, it's like American movie. Obviously.

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>The thing to do is we like we become the

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>ghost producer and then we're like, this was like something

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that maybe really happened also where somebody sent a bunch

0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>of people to an island to make a fake movie

0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>as like a tax loophole, but anyway, we send them

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:24.120
<v Speaker 1>all to an island where the monsters live, and then

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a little well problem solved. Who's a German guy

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 1>who makes all those like fake like literal tax right

0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 1>off movies just like adaptations of video games. It's like that.

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:41.240
<v Speaker 1>But for Star Wars, it's just it's just like we're

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>joking about it. It's literally a matter of time before

0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>one of these people does something violent, so for Star Wars,

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 1>but Star Wars spreads a message of peace across the universe.

0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 1>No it doesn't. It's called Star Wars. Yeah, that's what

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, though it's not like Triumph of the Will,

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Like it's a movie about a bunch of like it is.

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Is that a cool black guy and Likenster? I know,

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:09.040
<v Speaker 1>but like how can it? That's not that's what the

0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 1>postmodern Nazis think, which I am like, note that's not true.

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>We're at a different point, like the guy from Depeche

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Mode being like, no, my music is like not for fascists,

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like anti fascist, and you can't call it the

0:33:23.040 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 1>music of the alt right because like, fuck you, I

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:28.640
<v Speaker 1>made it. Like can't George Lucas just be like fuck

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:31.280
<v Speaker 1>these these little kiddies. Well, but he I think, is

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit like he's on their side because he

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 1>sold the property on their side, but he's getting his

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>ego stroke by them because they're all because they're like,

0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you were so much better than the people now gone

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 1>downhill and so he's so stupid. Ryan Johnson is like

0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the best thing that's ever happened to that franchise. Uh,

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that's so weird. Well, here's what I thought it was

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 1>about in a in a more naive and gentle manner.

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was like those people who remade a

0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Last Crusade, you know about that. They were like people. No,

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it was like kids in Boston. It was like a

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:09.319
<v Speaker 1>thing I heard tale of in Providence because they would

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:11.479
<v Speaker 1>like show it. They were showing it for the first

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 1>time or something. But it was like a documentary if

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 1>there's somebody made a documentary about it. But it was

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 1>like these three kids, like I think they were like

0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:24.400
<v Speaker 1>brothers or something, and they like remade Last Crusade. Okay

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:28.839
<v Speaker 1>that they remade Last Crusade, not Last Crusade. Uh yeah,

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the last art. They remade Raiders of the Lost Arc

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 1>over a period of like ten years. Oh that sounds great.

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 1>It was. It was great, And they remade it with

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>like props from home, so they made like they just

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>did all the effects with like practical home effects that

0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like a twelve year old would have. And it's the

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 1>greatest thing best Star Wars. It's the best. No, it's great,

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's totally what I thought this was. And I

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh cool, a bunch of kids are going

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to remake Star Wars with like, No, that's not what

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:00.960
<v Speaker 1>this saves at all. I think it's safe to say

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 1>if you read about Star Wars ever for present going forward,

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 1>it's going to have some misogynist attached. That's so weird

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 1>because again, like Carrie Fisher being the part of that

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 1>franchise just to me always was like the thing that

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>stopped it from being the worst, the worst nerd thing.

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>But that was a little bit by accident because they

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.480
<v Speaker 1>treated her like a piece of meat. But again, she

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:28.440
<v Speaker 1>still got like jokes, she still got to like shoot

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a gun sometimes, you know, like she wasn't just she

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't just a prize. She engaged intellectually, and like I've

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>read about us, then she was a babe, but she

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.759
<v Speaker 1>was like a funny babe, which like she didn't have

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to be to be in that movie, and that's what

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:48.759
<v Speaker 1>make that makes those movies good at all. Guys, I

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>hate to do this to you, but we have to.

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 1>We have to talk about the bug dick energy the summer.

0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 1>We have to um, we touched on B movie last time.

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about the movie a lot, and that's

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:02.399
<v Speaker 1>what we're talking about the B being back in town.

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:04.839
<v Speaker 1>We need to talk about the good and bad bugs

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:09.280
<v Speaker 1>because it's summer. It's summer summers when the bugs inad

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>bugs are so we got an email and it says

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:19.200
<v Speaker 1>high night call, High night call. For some reason, bugs

0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>in Japan are huge. The Japanese giant hornet can be

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 1>four and a half centimeters long with a six centimeter wingspan,

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and the Japanese centipede can be the length and width

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:32.239
<v Speaker 1>of your arm, which is fucking terrifying. Both are extremely poisonous. No,

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:35.880
<v Speaker 1>thank you. You also have giant rhinoceros and stag beetles

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:38.439
<v Speaker 1>that I remember seeing kids play with play battle within

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the park like a slow, death free and cute version

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:44.200
<v Speaker 1>of dog fighting. I wonder why they got so big

0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 1>in Japan. And there's a bunch of videos of these

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>ginormous bugs. How cool is that? Thanks for being a

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.000
<v Speaker 1>very chill podcast I can listen to without getting anxiety

0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:56.960
<v Speaker 1>from opinions being shared. This comes from from Ji Hunt. Yes,

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 1>thanks you, thank you. So I have to say that

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I looked up there's a website called tofugu dot com

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and they have a post about the worst Japanese bugs.

0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:09.719
<v Speaker 1>But I might argue that some of these are the

0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 1>best Japanese bugs. Um the danky mushy. The electric bug

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:19.040
<v Speaker 1>is like really insane looking caterpillar with spiky green protrusions

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and it stings with a chemical that feels like an

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 1>electric shock. We're gonna have to ask Emily because she

0:37:24.640 --> 0:37:27.640
<v Speaker 1>is just getting back from because cool bugs. She posted

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.840
<v Speaker 1>a video These aren't bugs with their bug adjacent She

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 1>posted like a forest just like with crabs in it. No,

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>because it was raining so much that they thought it

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:38.560
<v Speaker 1>was the ocean and they were so cute. It was

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the coolest thing I've ever seen. It was like this incredible,

0:37:41.480 --> 0:37:43.920
<v Speaker 1>like super green place. And then just the crustaceans are

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 1>very closely from that. They also have There are two

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:51.680
<v Speaker 1>centif bugs in this list. The house centipede is good

0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:54.080
<v Speaker 1>because it eats the other bugs. But there's a Japanese

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:57.760
<v Speaker 1>giant centipede that is fifteen inches long. It's the symbol

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of evil and Japanese mythology and has like a bite

0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that will send you to the hospital. And then there's

0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a Japanese the Japanese giant hornet. And I'm just gonna

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 1>quote not only are these things huge, but they will

0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.400
<v Speaker 1>also spray you in the eyes with a flesh melting

0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 1>poison if you catch them on a bad day. Oh

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 1>did I mention? This poison is filled with pheromones that

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:22.160
<v Speaker 1>signal the rest of the hive to hunt you down

0:38:22.239 --> 0:38:24.239
<v Speaker 1>and sting the living crap out of you until you

0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:28.359
<v Speaker 1>can no longer move your limbs. That's supposed to feel

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:30.759
<v Speaker 1>like getting shot if you get I think so. Yes.

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:33.359
<v Speaker 1>They also say right afterwards that they wished guns were

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:35.720
<v Speaker 1>legal in Japan so they could shoot it. I chose

0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 1>not to read that because you should respect your insect overboard,

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I know, well that's I do respect them. Tess has

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 1>always known a lot about bugs, and like a cool

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:47.040
<v Speaker 1>bug lady, she doesn't like to lead with it. Although

0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're more talking about it these days,

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm easing my way out. She knows a lot about bugs.

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Um do you guys have favorite or at least favorite bugs? Um? Well,

0:38:57.200 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I got taken. Mine was going to be crabs. They're not.

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Are they technically bugs? Neither? A spiders call spiders bugs?

0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Is bugs a hundred percent coincident with insects, because I

0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:16.480
<v Speaker 1>would argue, you could argue that bugs are sex and

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 1>spiders are under the bugs. Insects spiders, and of course

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the bugs funny are under the bugs. On bro. It

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 1>was like when you call a group of people guys. Yeah, yeah,

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:30.200
<v Speaker 1>guys are bugs. I respect all the bugs. I particularly

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:35.919
<v Speaker 1>am fond of bees, bees, bees, the scorpions that hold

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>their close up like what's up? Yeah? Yeah, why are

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:46.359
<v Speaker 1>you so into Arthur? Look, Andrew knows about crab last night?

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 1>From where from his home? Yeah? Andrew cooks crab like

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 1>a hundred times a week. Wait are you serious? Yeah?

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 1>He mentioned this. I forget when we were talking about it,

0:39:56.200 --> 0:39:57.960
<v Speaker 1>but he talked about like, you know, when you have

0:39:58.000 --> 0:40:00.839
<v Speaker 1>all that crab stock and your phrasing freezer picture looks

0:40:00.840 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 1>so a crab for lunch every day, busting out, what

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:05.960
<v Speaker 1>do you do with the crabs that you cook? Like?

0:40:06.000 --> 0:40:08.840
<v Speaker 1>What right in the pot? So you do? Like do

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you do like Southern style boil? Or like what do

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:12.879
<v Speaker 1>you what are you throwing in? Just steam in there

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and then headed with black vinegar. And I actually just

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 1>had it with nothing, but I also had a bunch

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:21.919
<v Speaker 1>of duck fats sitting around. So I made a duck

0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:25.800
<v Speaker 1>fat use butter Andrew, why can't we work word this

0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:30.719
<v Speaker 1>in your garage? Yeah? And it smells like crab. It's

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:32.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty it's pretty gross. I just went to the boiling

0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Crab the other day. Do you go to the restaurant, Yeah,

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that's the sucker move. No, no, no, the one in

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Burbank is totally empty. Okay, get it together. Here's the

0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:43.759
<v Speaker 1>pro tem for Kaytown. Yeah, you can get it to go.

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 1>But there's a bar that you say that that will

0:40:46.200 --> 0:40:50.040
<v Speaker 1>let you bring your to go nasty ass crabs. They're um, yeah,

0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 1>the one, the one in Kaytown. We would go to

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and then sit at the bar. But if your if

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you have children, um, many children will not I'm finding

0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:02.759
<v Speaker 1>but one of mine will soft to go to the

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:07.160
<v Speaker 1>first naughty crab. You go before they open it, and

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.040
<v Speaker 1>then you're the first person to sit down and you're

0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:10.920
<v Speaker 1>waiting on by like a sixteen year old, and I was,

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, the most disconcerting thing is like it immediately

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:15.719
<v Speaker 1>brings me back to being a waiter and looking at

0:41:16.040 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a group of people like me and my family being like,

0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:22.440
<v Speaker 1>oh no, they're gonna need so many napkins. They're just

0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:26.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be loud. Town boiling crabs so many times last

0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.920
<v Speaker 1>year that they remembered my order one time and I

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, I need to stop. What do you get? Why?

0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll go with a bunch of Chinese people. So it's

0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 1>dungeness crabs, shrimp and um the clams and Manila clams,

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:44.319
<v Speaker 1>and then the sausage and then rice for everyone because

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:47.759
<v Speaker 1>they have good like Korean rice. They're weirdly. Really, what

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:49.719
<v Speaker 1>you do is you make a little rice bowl rif

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 1>ball in your hand with all the seafood you want,

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:54.000
<v Speaker 1>jam the whole thing in your mouth. What do you

0:41:54.040 --> 0:41:59.319
<v Speaker 1>get a sauce on it? Or just like you order

0:41:59.360 --> 0:42:02.320
<v Speaker 1>at the boiling I do the crawfish and the snow crab,

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and I do why do the crawfish. I'm gonna throw

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:07.879
<v Speaker 1>this to you guys. Would you eat bugs? Well, that's

0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:10.520
<v Speaker 1>what I think of. We're all dancing around here like

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of dancing shromp. I would eat crickets, except

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:17.319
<v Speaker 1>for the fact that I'm very superstitious about crickets, and

0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:21.040
<v Speaker 1>even though I eat meat, I have trouble like picturing

0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 1>eating a like eating the head and body. No, but

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:26.120
<v Speaker 1>it's weird because like craw fish, you really come face

0:42:26.200 --> 0:42:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to face with that, you know what I mean? And

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:30.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe with crabs and lobsters too, you're really aware of

0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm eating a sea bug. Well, I stopped eating

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 1>octopus because I just reasulation too much about Yeah, they

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:41.319
<v Speaker 1>found out that in nineteen sixty four. I think that

0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:45.680
<v Speaker 1>cockroaches learn from their mistakes. That's what I'm saying. Like,

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I respect the bugs because I fear the bugs. Yeah,

0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:52.799
<v Speaker 1>we should fears. I think there's something scary about like

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a million of something small that is really disconcerting to

0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 1>think that. I used to play a space video am

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:03.800
<v Speaker 1>where you could build like like your space army or

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.239
<v Speaker 1>spaceships or whatever, and the key was actually just to

0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:09.800
<v Speaker 1>make you know everyone's building these big cruisers or whatever.

0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It was actually just to get like fifteen thousand of

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:16.919
<v Speaker 1>the smallest one and have a huge cloud face off

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:20.160
<v Speaker 1>against You can't kill it, because maybe we have to

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:23.240
<v Speaker 1>get the bugs to go against the in cells because

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:26.520
<v Speaker 1>they're all just a bunch of tiny in cells versus insects.

0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:29.759
<v Speaker 1>And we can crowdfund this movie, you guys. Oh you

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:32.239
<v Speaker 1>know what, Actually, I don't even know if I want

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to give this strategy away, but a friend of mine,

0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:39.480
<v Speaker 1>it's basically bio terrorism, is what I'm saying. Before you

0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:43.680
<v Speaker 1>say they can't take it trademark, but also disclaimer that

0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:46.440
<v Speaker 1>we're not really doing this. Um A friend of mine

0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 1>telling me about these ants. I think they're called I

0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.239
<v Speaker 1>want to say they're called raspberry ants, but maybe I

0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:56.240
<v Speaker 1>made that up. The eat like computer cords what? Yeah, yeah,

0:43:56.239 --> 0:44:00.360
<v Speaker 1>why because they just do because they're just good ants

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and they're like the worker ants. They want to be

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:04.680
<v Speaker 1>off the grid and they want to be off the

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:06.719
<v Speaker 1>good they're like, you know, because bugs and computers are

0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:08.840
<v Speaker 1>named for like literal bugs that would get in computers.

0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.240
<v Speaker 1>But it really just makes you makes you think about

0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 1>how a computer programmer when the punch card days. Yeah,

0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the idea that bugs could like completely funk us up

0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:20.840
<v Speaker 1>technologically is something that I find like just so alluring

0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, you know, that's where we get in

0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 1>thinking we're better than bugs. Yeah, bugs and bots like

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the bugs were here before us and they'll hereafter. That's

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 1>why cockroaches like I I don't know. I think it's

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:41.240
<v Speaker 1>also interesting to like dissect why I'm grossed out by bugs.

0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:43.960
<v Speaker 1>But not other things. You know, like it's because they're

0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:46.640
<v Speaker 1>scary and they're threatening, but it's like we're conditioned to

0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:48.600
<v Speaker 1>be scared of them. But like, why do I think

0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:51.440
<v Speaker 1>like a tiger is cute? You know, it's because of

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 1>bigger Why is like a butterfly beautiful but a moth

0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:57.680
<v Speaker 1>is creepy? I still like, well, I love moths, yeah,

0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:01.560
<v Speaker 1>but butterflies have it are dusty, but do not. It's

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:05.680
<v Speaker 1>just a color palet collar to the nightcall question. If

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:09.480
<v Speaker 1>there was a question, it's because Jef hands in island. Oh,

0:45:09.560 --> 0:45:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you're right there, you go. Islands always have the gnarliest evolution,

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:17.680
<v Speaker 1>like Madagascar. How it has all of these uniques. Madagascar

0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:21.839
<v Speaker 1>has also some fucking super sick Yeah. Well, Andrew, thank

0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:26.719
<v Speaker 1>you so much for having stopping the problems. Let's just

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:28.799
<v Speaker 1>go around and say our top, our top and least

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:33.600
<v Speaker 1>top bug. Okay, dungeoness crab is top and least top

0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 1>would be the common mosquito, common mosquito, deadliest insect. I'm

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:41.080
<v Speaker 1>going to say that my least favorite is the tick,

0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and my most favorite is the lunum off. I'm gonna

0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:48.319
<v Speaker 1>say my favorite since I already said bees, I've been

0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:51.879
<v Speaker 1>really into silkworms recently reading about silkworms. They're super cool

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and fascinating. You know, my friends getting to be hiven.

0:45:58.200 --> 0:46:02.640
<v Speaker 1>My neighbors have some bees. These are cool. Go respect

0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:07.120
<v Speaker 1>what's your least oh my least favorite? Uh? I don't know.

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to like hate on ants because I

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:13.240
<v Speaker 1>respect them, but like, man, I've seen my kitchen ants.

0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I've seen my peacefulness turned to blood lust with the

0:46:16.560 --> 0:46:19.520
<v Speaker 1>ants because you're like, it's me versus them. Well, if
