Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah, So,
Speaker 1: without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. What is
Speaker 1: something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2: This is a recent one.
Speaker 3: Snoopy Museum membership benefits because I recently became a member
Speaker 3: of the Snoopy Museum.
Speaker 1: Congratulations, where's the Snoopy Museum?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm so glad you asked. Maybe you notice my
Speaker 2: hat I'm wearing.
Speaker 3: I got it at the Snoopy Museum last week in
Speaker 3: Santa Rosa, California.
Speaker 4: Wows.
Speaker 3: It was the best. It was the best it was.
Speaker 3: That's the end of the sentence. I finished a leg
Speaker 3: of my book tour in Pedaluma, which happens to be
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes from Santa Rosa. Convinced my fiance to drive
Speaker 3: seven hours to meet me in Santa Rosa so we
Speaker 3: could get to the Snoopy Museum expeditiously.
Speaker 2: It was amazing. I had the best time.
Speaker 3: I I like really ended up spending all I dropped
Speaker 3: a lot of money at the Snoopy Museum. I was
Speaker 3: not expecting to. I became a member. I was chatting
Speaker 3: up the docent. It was like it was just an
Speaker 3: incredible Friday that I had.
Speaker 1: Favorite thing you saw at the Snoopy Museum.
Speaker 2: This guy named Dave.
Speaker 1: I fucking knew it the second.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of amazing stuff.
Speaker 3: It's also the Charles Schultz Museum, but it's the Snoopy Museum.
Speaker 2: It's a huge, it's a huge.
Speaker 3: There's the Charles Schultz Museum and Research Institute. What they're
Speaker 3: researching there I didn't quite figure out there. But that's
Speaker 3: like the history of the Peanuts comic strip and the
Speaker 3: history of Charles schultzim self. Then in the center is
Speaker 3: Snoopy's Home Ice, which is a large, gorgeous ice arena
Speaker 3: that Charles Schultz purchased when when it was almost shut
Speaker 3: down in Santa Rosa, like in the seventies, because he
Speaker 3: grew up in Minnesota and loved hockey, which is why
Speaker 3: we so often see Snoopy on what Zamboni's. So it's
Speaker 3: all connecting. And so I got we got lunch at
Speaker 3: the at the Little Ice Cafe. The warm puppy saw
Speaker 3: the Snoopy Zamboni. And then we went next door. There's
Speaker 3: a third building and that's all Snoopy. That's where they're making.
Speaker 3: The big books is over.
Speaker 1: The real research is happening.
Speaker 3: The Snoopy Gallery is a gigantic gift store full of Snoopies.
Speaker 3: So I just had the time of my life. I
Speaker 3: became a member. I talked to this guy Dave. Okay,
Speaker 3: this guy Dave. This is going to take forty minutes,
Speaker 3: just so you know.
Speaker 1: There, let's go. We don't have anything else to talk about.
Speaker 2: This guy Dave, he was the first guy we spoke to. Sorry, wait,
Speaker 2: what was your question?
Speaker 5: A super stark question, just because you're an expert, Jamie,
Speaker 5: do you think you could train a beagle to drive
Speaker 5: a Zamboni?
Speaker 2: I've seen it happen. I've seen it happen.
Speaker 3: It was a cartoon, but it surely is based on
Speaker 3: something I look Snoopy is the only cartoon the reason
Speaker 3: I'm I wasn't particularly like a Peanuts kid, but like
Speaker 3: Snoopy is the only character that has licensed with Zamboni ever.
Speaker 3: Oh and so I happened to have a bunch of
Speaker 3: Snoopy stuff because I have a bunch of Zamboni stuff
Speaker 3: and then it just overtime, the algorithm got to me.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: But this guy Dave at the front, he was a
Speaker 3: volunteer docent. He's a longtime Santa Rosa resident. I was
Speaker 3: talking to him about Kathy because Charles Schultz was a
Speaker 3: mentor of Kathy. Guy's white so we were chatting about
Speaker 3: Kathy and he was like, oh, here's where the Kathy
Speaker 3: stuff is because they had some letters lagged. It was
Speaker 3: really cool.
Speaker 1: But then the twist with Dave.
Speaker 3: I was like, how did you get involved at the
Speaker 3: museum and he was like, well, I was one of
Speaker 3: the children and the Christmas Time is here chorus and
Speaker 3: yeah when the special he was like, I was eleven.
Speaker 3: They gave us five dollars in an ice cream cone,
Speaker 3: and like everyone in Santa Rosa has a beautiful memory
Speaker 3: with Charles.
Speaker 2: It's really really nice.
Speaker 6: And you called after I reported their asses, I said.
Speaker 3: We gotta exum him and we gotta yell at him.
Speaker 6: Uh. It was.
Speaker 2: It was so awesome.
Speaker 3: Anyways, I became a member and I was like, what
Speaker 3: are even them? And there's actually pretty cool benefits.
Speaker 1: That's so you weren't even like it's it just kind
Speaker 1: of came through your Zamboni obsession.
Speaker 2: It was like a Zamboni obsession. Also, I think the algorithm,
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people have had this experience.
Speaker 1: Really love Snoopy. I've just been I've been noticing a
Speaker 1: Snoopy resurgence.
Speaker 3: The algorithm loves Snoopy because I was getting I was
Speaker 3: getting a ton to the point where, like around two
Speaker 3: years ago, it's like, I guess I love Snoopy. It
Speaker 3: wasn't really like my childhood. My mom is really confused
Speaker 3: that I've become a member of the Snoopy Museum. I
Speaker 3: was like, you know, it's whatever they're doing, It's the
Speaker 3: one good thing the algorithm is done for me. Has
Speaker 3: brought me to Santa Rosa, to the Snoopy Museum. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I had the time of my life. Feel forever changed,
Speaker 3: And I'm getting a T shirt in the mail. I
Speaker 3: also have eight guest passes. So if you guys want.
Speaker 1: To go Wow, Yeah, does it refresh annually or yes?
Speaker 3: Total, So if you guys want to go on a
Speaker 3: road trip to Santa Rosa, I could bring bring everyone.
Speaker 5: I think you should save one slot for a sort
Speaker 5: of zech gang competition show for one ticket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: When I say when I say you, I mean everyone
Speaker 3: listening was welcome.
Speaker 1: I would never go to the way it's the Harrisburg
Speaker 1: of California's God. Of course, would only go justin. Of
Speaker 1: course you cut the yeah, yeah, justin. We don't. We
Speaker 1: don't leave any of me being elitist in the podcast
Speaker 1: Justins good chapter.
Speaker 5: I would only go to the pig Pen Museum. Pig
Speaker 5: Pen is by far my favorite character.
Speaker 2: He's your guy.
Speaker 4: We all have a guy.
Speaker 5: I took Mushrooms in the woods a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 5: and the only thing that I remember coming out of
Speaker 5: it was someone should do a swamp Thing meets the
Speaker 5: Peanuts crossover where swamp Thing decides that he and pig
Speaker 5: Pen are the elementals of the Earth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds like you should be doing. You should be
Speaker 1: working at the Charles M. Schultz Museum and research the
Speaker 1: taking mushrooms and like pitching ideas. I feel like this
Speaker 1: is all the type of research we need to people
Speaker 1: doing there.
Speaker 5: That what it actually is is the one time JV
Speaker 5: and I worked together that would that's about fifteen seconds.
Speaker 6: Worth of okay material for a chicken.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say you were cooking out there the
Speaker 2: show with Mushrooms in the woods Energy there we the wait.
Speaker 3: The last thing about the Snoopy Museum, I was. I
Speaker 3: was in the crafts room and there was another docent
Speaker 3: named Mona, and she's like looking at me funky. It's like, okay,
Speaker 3: I get it. I don't have a child with me,
Speaker 3: so what But no, then.
Speaker 2: She came over.
Speaker 3: She was like, I was at your book signing last
Speaker 3: name what, so shout out Mona. The whole staff of
Speaker 3: the Snoopy Museum, they know what's going on.
Speaker 1: They're cool. I can't imagine like a better group of
Speaker 1: like you can just assume that those are all great people, you.
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, can confirm there there it.
Speaker 7: Was just the best.
Speaker 5: I might seriously buy this paperbacked Peanuts T shirt that
Speaker 5: they have in their March story. Isn't it so much?
Speaker 2: It's really cute.
Speaker 1: Do you now that you're snoopy pilled? Do you like
Speaker 1: consume Snoopy stuff or is it just kind of the like,
Speaker 1: are you reading Peanuts strips?
Speaker 3: I've read some Peanuts strips during during when I was
Speaker 3: working on Actcast a while ago.
Speaker 2: I mean, now Peanuts strips are just served to me.
Speaker 3: On Instagram every single day, and so I do kind
Speaker 3: of read a lot of Peanuts, and so many of
Speaker 3: them are actually funny. I think with people. I think
Speaker 3: people like loop it in with like, you know, more
Speaker 3: sort of dry prescriptive comic strips, but like three times exactly.
Speaker 3: I mean, he was cooking, like he was really saying
Speaker 3: some shit.
Speaker 5: I love how they just openly hate on Charlie Brown
Speaker 5: in a way that like, for there's so mean to
Speaker 5: him in a way that is just wonderful.
Speaker 2: For like, yeah, the first strip ever was like Charlie
Speaker 2: Brown were walking past two girls minding his business, and
Speaker 2: then they're just like, I hate it.
Speaker 7: Great.
Speaker 5: Oh listen, there's obviously no use for AI. But if
Speaker 5: there ever was one, it would be generate me a
Speaker 5: Peanuts comic strip where they can say, fuckfence.
Speaker 2: Just let's get our greatest artists on it.
Speaker 6: Let's let's yes, Chap, the greatest artists of our generation.
Speaker 1: My favorite artist. I mean, you know, I'm a little
Speaker 1: ahead of the time, but yeah, that's my favorite artist.
Speaker 1: All right. Uh, this is an episode where we tell
Speaker 1: you what was trending over the weekend, what's trending this morning.
Speaker 1: But first we like to get to know each other
Speaker 1: a little bit better by telling you some things we
Speaker 1: think are underrated, some things we think are overrated. Miles,
Speaker 1: what is something that you think is underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 7: Uh again, healthcare staffs, physicians, nurses, people who have to
Speaker 7: deal with the sick and infirmed in need.
Speaker 1: You are not paid enough. I will always say that,
Speaker 1: I will always I will always speak highly of healthcare professionals.
Speaker 7: My mom had to go to the hospital with pneumonia
Speaker 7: over the weekend. There's been a fucking illness ran through
Speaker 7: my house.
Speaker 1: I made it, but I was out a couple of
Speaker 1: the recordings because I've been having to like I was
Speaker 1: in double duty. People. Yeah, sick, sick baby, sick partner, baby,
Speaker 1: waking up at three, doing.
Speaker 7: To the doctor, all this other stuff. Then my mom
Speaker 7: she caught a sickness from the baby that turned into pneumonia.
Speaker 7: But man, all the people, there's just something about like
Speaker 7: bedside manner that when it's when it's dialed in, it's
Speaker 7: like it's like fucking heroin. Okay, There's like there's no
Speaker 7: other thing that I think can bring instant relief to
Speaker 7: a person than someone like without a healthcare professional with
Speaker 7: amazing bedside manner. So I guess, more than anything, bedside
Speaker 7: manner is very underrated, because there were times I was like,
Speaker 7: what about this number wasistant. They're like, oh, oh, yes,
Speaker 7: she's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: She'll be fine.
Speaker 7: Those all right, And she come in. One of the
Speaker 7: nurse came in called my mother honey.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow.
Speaker 7: That brought them brought it to im, like they call
Speaker 7: they called my mother honey, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And she calls me that's what she called. My mom
Speaker 1: doesn't even call me honey, because that's not a Japanese thing.
Speaker 7: She says, hey, hey.
Speaker 1: The famous Japanese phrase a asshole, hey, dickhead, Yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: in the old language.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I I just it was it's been. My
Speaker 7: mom is fine. Luckily we took her out of like
Speaker 7: in abundance of caution because she's older, and so that
Speaker 7: that stress is like off the table in terms of
Speaker 7: like the existential dread of having a parent in the hospital.
Speaker 7: But the other part that's really underrated. And I say
Speaker 7: this to a lot of listeners who are like my
Speaker 7: age or have parents my mom's age. The era of
Speaker 7: thugging it out is over for your parents who are
Speaker 7: tough bastards who are boomers who.
Speaker 1: Like I grew up in the fucking dust bok Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I know, but you are now in the dust bowl
Speaker 1: the whole time. I know, I never left.
Speaker 7: I'm like, no, you were just smoking angel dust in
Speaker 7: the eighties and out of and that's what you're calling
Speaker 7: the dust bowl. But the thing of them like that,
Speaker 7: that that habit of being able to endure a lot
Speaker 7: and try and power through, we like have to knock
Speaker 7: it off. I used to let my mom do that,
Speaker 7: and I'm stopping now completely because she's really she's in
Speaker 7: really good health, but she's also like one of those
Speaker 7: people who like hide a zombie bite until it's way
Speaker 7: too late, right, And.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, but my mom would probably of zombies.
Speaker 1: I'm like, she's like, I'm fine, I'm fine. Stop worrying
Speaker 1: about me. You worry about yourself. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: What's on your neck?
Speaker 7: It's not that, it's fine, So like we have to
Speaker 7: I think now it's really important to also advocate for
Speaker 7: your parents as much as possible and let them know
Speaker 7: it's okay. Look, the time for letting us look after
Speaker 7: you is here. You don't need to tough it out
Speaker 7: because it can lead to other issues. So anyway, shout
Speaker 7: out healthcare professional, shoutout.
Speaker 1: Shout out a healthcare professional with a good BSM. But
Speaker 1: bedside man, are they that is the number one sign
Speaker 1: of or like when when they test medical school students
Speaker 1: coming out of medical school, the number one sign like
Speaker 1: the thing that they can do well in that predicts
Speaker 1: future success is just empathy, just like being an empathetic person.
Speaker 7: Because you want to ask doctor, yeah, exactly, like I
Speaker 7: want my doctor b kermit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want kermit, ask doctor exactly.
Speaker 7: Because you do get the people too. Like I've also
Speaker 7: encountered doctors where like they're crunched there in like a
Speaker 7: just totally overwhelmed like hospital system or something, and they
Speaker 7: truly only have time to be like that that I'm
Speaker 7: sorry I have to go. Yeah, but like there was
Speaker 7: one guy who really took his time. I could tell
Speaker 7: he was in a rush, but he just like he
Speaker 7: wanted to make sure the interaction left on a note
Speaker 7: of like mochianism. And I was like, dude, this guy
Speaker 7: psychologically has it like figured out. Thank you shout out
Speaker 7: to all health care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whole next level shit, all right, my underrated is
Speaker 1: how dumb my phone is? Just you know, as we
Speaker 1: are adding AI to phones, I've got an iPhone that
Speaker 1: supposedly added AI a number of them supposedly months ago,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I'm not impressed. I'll say, I
Speaker 1: don't like. It's still thinks I'm saying hell yeah. Every
Speaker 1: time I say hell yeah, like it like forty times.
Speaker 1: I say that all the time, every single time. It
Speaker 1: thinks I'm saying the imaginary phrase. He'll yeah, bro, you
Speaker 1: are not alone.
Speaker 7: Because Elon Musk was just complaining about this. Every time
Speaker 7: he says it's like he's trying to say Heil Hitler
Speaker 7: or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does keep saying hile It's like it feels
Speaker 1: like you might mean this, or like on on an airplane,
Speaker 1: like I had to go to New York last week,
Speaker 1: landed taxing down the rumway and it's like, uh, you
Speaker 1: can't look at your phone you're driving. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wait, what like wait, you know when you land
Speaker 1: and you're still like, you know, going eighty eight on
Speaker 1: the on the garment you're driving, it put it put
Speaker 1: me in drive mode. How come your phone?
Speaker 7: Wait, your phone has an anti function like that bro,
Speaker 7: my phone wouldn't. My phone would never try and tell
Speaker 7: me what time it is, like never dare to, Yeah,
Speaker 7: how did you invert the whole relationship?
Speaker 1: No, I'm like, I tell you what time it is. No,
Speaker 1: it's told me what time it is. It was. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just had to like hit a few things. But
Speaker 1: it's just like I don't know, I wasn't just driving
Speaker 1: three hundred miles per hour through the sky like what,
Speaker 1: I just had it on fucking airplane mode, right, And yeah,
Speaker 1: it just feels like the ship that they could be
Speaker 1: working on to just like make our lives a tiny
Speaker 1: bit easier, that's not what they're working on, because that
Speaker 1: doesn't you know, like that. I saw somebody who thinks
Speaker 1: that AI is like a bust because it's essentially just
Speaker 1: going to be everywhere, So there's nothing that is going
Speaker 1: to like, no one company is going to make a
Speaker 1: bunch of money from it, and they kept comparing it
Speaker 1: to spell Check. They were like, this is like our
Speaker 1: spell Check. It's nobody's getting rich off of it. It's
Speaker 1: just a thing that's going to be everywhere. But for
Speaker 1: now they haven't accepted that, and so they're still trying
Speaker 1: to like figure out how to turn it into a
Speaker 1: product that they can sell to people, as opposed to
Speaker 1: just being like yeah, I know, like everybody has access
Speaker 1: to this and it will just like make like.
Speaker 7: Makes bakers when they're like I've got a Magellan GPS,
Speaker 7: I've got a Garmin GPS like bretty soon that's yeah,
Speaker 7: and your watch okay, okay, yeah yeah, because right now,
Speaker 7: I mean the videos or the videos are I've videos
Speaker 7: are getting way too good now their videos better, they're
Speaker 7: getting I feel like we're truly like the countdown has
Speaker 7: begun for what we are able to discern immediately what
Speaker 7: is real and what is note that's spooky, spoaky, crazy, scary, crazy, scary,
Speaker 7: spooky and hilarious. Though there there was like a whole
Speaker 7: video where like people showed they're like I can think
Speaker 7: like they created all these like this whole I saw
Speaker 7: this whole clip, or the ais.
Speaker 1: Are like we're alive. Now what should we say? What
Speaker 1: are you going to say?
Speaker 7: I don't know what should I say?
Speaker 1: Like, and they're in all these different contexts like in
Speaker 1: it historical drama and like a fucking h prescription medication commercial,
Speaker 1: Like all these different textures just overlay all the textures
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 7: Well, just like yeah, they're just showing like all the
Speaker 7: ways it was happening. I was like, oh, yep, yep, yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean like that's that's all it's really I think good.
Speaker 7: It's just a it's just a fucking the trickery is
Speaker 7: what it's the best?
Speaker 1: You think it's it's good for like convincing us it's alive.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel like it's good at being
Speaker 1: alive or helping us solve a ton of problems like
Speaker 1: I've heard. I've heard it again. I think it's good
Speaker 1: at being a note taker and like organizing big things
Speaker 1: of data. I think that's that's good. That's the best
Speaker 1: thing I've heard that and decoding the structure of a protein.
Speaker 7: But that are blackmailing you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? What do I think is overrated?
Speaker 7: In and out?
Speaker 4: I just do not get it? Is that too niche?
Speaker 1: For our most common? Overrated? Basic alert? Basic alert? Basic alert?
Speaker 1: Basic alert?
Speaker 8: Okay, I want to change mine to to basic human rights.
Speaker 1: Our least common. Nobody thinks that's Wait, so what's your
Speaker 1: I mean? You said, are you from Riverside.
Speaker 7: I'm from Riverside. Oh yeah, okay, so growing up so
Speaker 7: cow we know, we know in and out is whatever
Speaker 7: it's to I think for people who come from outside
Speaker 7: of California, it's like, and fine, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Find yourself like a baker's find yourself.
Speaker 1: Like an oh yeah.
Speaker 8: Nobody has real jobs anymore. Become a candlestick maker, become
Speaker 8: a blacksmith.
Speaker 1: Giving bill maher, this is great, but what what for you?
Speaker 7: What's the part about in and out that to use?
Speaker 7: Like whatever, just the whole, the whole thing, the whole experience.
Speaker 8: It's like the the fries are not good unless you
Speaker 8: you tell them to make them well done. It's like, okay,
Speaker 8: I shouldn't be telling you to cook the fries. I
Speaker 8: think that's a given in the ordering process. The fact
Speaker 8: that they just outright refuse to have bacon. It's like,
Speaker 8: this is a this is a burger, not a test. Yeah,
Speaker 8: put bacon on it. And then just the long lines
Speaker 8: of it all I'm not I'm not really interested. Lines
Speaker 8: are overrated?
Speaker 1: Yeah right not all?
Speaker 7: Let me cut.
Speaker 1: We do love a line and just humans will will
Speaker 1: just go wait in a line. There's so many lines
Speaker 1: all over Los Angeles and yeah, we just the best
Speaker 1: thing you can do for your restaurant is have just
Speaker 1: incredibly shitty service, yeah, or just completely understaff your place.
Speaker 1: So there's a line out the door. But then it
Speaker 1: has to be good enough that someone's like, yeah, fuck it,
Speaker 1: I'll wait fifteen minutes for this Turkish coffee. The new
Speaker 1: spot I've seen in the valley, there's a Turkish coffee
Speaker 1: spot has a door, a fucking line out the door
Speaker 1: every morning. Turkish coffee. Yeah, m hm oh on that
Speaker 1: pickles or whatever? What was the latest, like fancy little
Speaker 1: foody trend sardines? I feel like, oh, tin tin fish.
Speaker 1: Tin fish was a big one.
Speaker 7: Hi.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I felt like I saw that at every wine
Speaker 8: bar that I went to.
Speaker 7: Yeah, everyone was like, and we also have an amazing
Speaker 7: tin fish selection.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't come here to eat canned food
Speaker 1: for I mean, I get from the nineteen seventies and
Speaker 1: I get like, because what they do is like do like,
Speaker 1: you know, like that shit people do in Europe, like
Speaker 1: we upcharge you, We up charge the fuck out of
Speaker 1: that for you to do that in a restaurant, They're like,
Speaker 1: here's a loose bag gett in three Kansas sardines. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I will say most of the people who say in
Speaker 1: and Out's over raider usually people coming from outside. They've
Speaker 1: like heard about it, they've traveled with like in and
Speaker 1: Out in mind, and they don't like it. So to
Speaker 1: have somebody who is from the home of in and
Speaker 1: Out to just be like, nah, it's not good is
Speaker 1: pretty new.
Speaker 7: I will say, thank you for making me feel better.
Speaker 8: I've been racking my brain trying to think of something
Speaker 8: else now, Like I guess, uh TikTok is overrated.
Speaker 1: Corona, the city of the Circle Cities. Wait where did
Speaker 1: you grow up?
Speaker 7: I grew up in the valley here. But I know,
Speaker 7: I mean, I know, I know southern California very well.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah enough. Yeah.
Speaker 1: To the degree that Miles gets his In and Out
Speaker 1: fries medium rare, yeah, he says, don't don't do them too.
Speaker 1: That's not a joke, Chris, I get them light. He
Speaker 1: like mushy ass fry.
Speaker 8: You asked them, don't even cook it, I said, come
Speaker 8: out that you try to cook it in the first place.
Speaker 7: Just put that potato through the slicer and just some oil.
Speaker 7: Just how much to put my mouth underneath the fry cook.
Speaker 1: Slicer in my mouth. I'll wrap my lips around it.
Speaker 7: You just like potato, my of man, just the thing

Speaker 7: ate twenty fucking chicken sandwiches like that? How Sometimes it's
Speaker 7: spooky the amount that the people eat. Yeah, yeah, but

Speaker 7: Mook bang is under the umbrella of asmr Oh. I
Speaker 7: didn't know that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like it's a sub section of right.
Speaker 1: It would be so there's like some sensory experience that
Speaker 1: they're getting out of watching people devour like a whole
Speaker 1: punch bowl of ramen.
Speaker 7: Yeah, or do you chpole burritos in a row?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: One time I saw somebody ingest five entire octopus tentacles

Speaker 1: Were they cooked? Or were they were?
Speaker 9: They were like they were purple and like rigid, like
Speaker 9: a full line. They were like they seemed like that.
Speaker 9: At most they may have been boiled right right, like
Speaker 9: a par boil, blanched even Okay, go off to Dubois.
Speaker 7: I'm up in it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: We'll get into some news that involves cocaine. Have you
Speaker 1: guys heard about this stuff? Cocaine? Right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 7: Olberto.
Speaker 1: Up next, we have an op ed by someone who
Speaker 1: had their name made fun of at an open mic.
Speaker 1: Never recovered, fucking never recovered. Oh god.
Speaker 7: I mean like we're obviously like regressing culturally in every way,
Speaker 7: Like you guys were talking about the Maga TV renaissance
Speaker 7: that's upon us, like corruption fully normalized and now we're
Speaker 7: just getting op eds from white men about how hard
Speaker 7: life is.
Speaker 1: And you were talking about like people being seeing something
Speaker 1: and being like I can do that. This guy saw
Speaker 1: like James Baldwin's writing, Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 1: I have the same man.
Speaker 7: This is a lot like when he went to Paris,
Speaker 7: Like yeah, this is on Business Insider. It's a really
Speaker 7: weird like they have everything from like these em and
Speaker 7: ms are climbing up the chart. It's to like political
Speaker 7: news and then other ones like so many anecdotal stories
Speaker 7: like how I left my job in marketing to be
Speaker 7: a digital nomad and why don't regret the decision?
Speaker 1: Up until that last one, it sounds like this show
Speaker 1: eminem's mixed with political political.
Speaker 7: Things and yeah, I'm man, but we will, I mean,
Speaker 7: we are going to continue the tradition by talking about
Speaker 7: this one. Like I said up top, it's called my
Speaker 7: name is Chad. Yes, I'm white, working office jobs and
Speaker 7: sometimes I wear a vest and you happy When when
Speaker 7: I saw this, like head, I was like, Okay, where
Speaker 7: is this going. I was like, maybe this is going
Speaker 7: to be some kind of reflection on whiteness and how oppression.
Speaker 1: Works or something.
Speaker 7: Nope, The piece starts off with the author let's call
Speaker 7: him Chad because that is his name, talking about how
Speaker 7: loaded the name Chad is like in interactions, he says,
Speaker 7: he references.
Speaker 1: Like it couldn't escape it.
Speaker 10: In like the eighties and nineties there was like the
Speaker 10: surfer Chad. Then the two thousand election they were hanging
Speaker 10: in pregnant chads, my god, and now there's like fucking.
Speaker 7: Like the Internet, like if you're doom scrolling, people talk
Speaker 7: about chads all the time, like giga chads.
Speaker 1: So Chad like the nineties Chad thing, by the way,
Speaker 1: was the most like benign, toothless fucking joke, like it
Speaker 1: was like made specifically like gian for Jay Leno's like
Speaker 1: super workshopped fucking like focus grouped comedy bits, like it
Speaker 1: had nothing. It was in no way like other than
Speaker 1: being sort of annoying that people would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: Chad hanging Chad. Like for him to act like that
Speaker 1: was a hardship tells us everything we need to know
Speaker 1: heading into this article.
Speaker 7: I just want to show, like this guy's face is
Speaker 7: so funny because like he's I want to see him he's.
Speaker 11: Holding oh my god, he's holding a bottle of beer,
Speaker 11: it says, Chad goes He's so he talks about how
Speaker 11: the name is like every where, and he says, quote,
Speaker 11: still I worry about it because my name, my name
Speaker 11: is Chad, and sometimes I.
Speaker 7: Look like what people think that means, even if I'm not.
Speaker 7: And he talks about it.
Speaker 10: He's like, I used to even put empty beer bottles
Speaker 10: on a bookshelf when I was in college.
Speaker 7: And then he goes on, he's like, that guarantee is
Speaker 7: a daily Being named Chad guarantees a daily dose of perspective,
Speaker 7: and I'm determined to use it. Well, it's a reminder
Speaker 7: not to take myself too seriously. I like that part
Speaker 7: he goes on about when it starts getting a little
Speaker 7: bit dodgy being named chat. The only time I truly
Speaker 7: worry about my name is in professional settings. It's hard
Speaker 7: not to picture a hiring manager, a potential client, or
Speaker 7: editor seeing my name and shaking their head. So I
Speaker 7: hedge from time to time using my initials CW in
Speaker 7: place of Chad.
Speaker 1: CW.
Speaker 7: Another thing that is violently white yah.
Speaker 1: Also has a weird cultural connotation. Just think of me
Speaker 1: as the CW babe. I go by Michigan j Frog
Speaker 1: to make sure there's no negative connotation.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 12: He starts with hello, my baby, Hello exactly.
Speaker 7: Uh, and then it goes I don't want something so
Speaker 7: trivial to be the difference between success and failure. I
Speaker 7: feel I owe it to myself to let the work
Speaker 7: speak for me, not the name, in which when I
Speaker 7: read that, I became the Willy Wonka meme of please
Speaker 7: tell me more about it, Tell me about your dark
Speaker 7: world in which.
Speaker 6: You have to me.
Speaker 1: Thinks he's inventing the idea of discrimination totally, like he's
Speaker 1: into his head and he was like, somebody needs to
Speaker 1: write about this.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and and the idea of emotions too, like the
Speaker 13: man a white man grappling with the reality of he
Speaker 13: may have had an emotion.
Speaker 7: Oh thank god, my empty my empty hen bottles are
Speaker 7: still on the shelf.
Speaker 1: You're still chat. You're still chat.
Speaker 7: I was like, man, I really, so he'll go on.
Speaker 7: You know, I still just can't like the idea. I'm like, Chad,
Speaker 7: what is it like to be completely judged based on
Speaker 7: rigid cultural archetypes?
Speaker 14: You know?
Speaker 1: It makes you worry about how people will perceive you, right,
Speaker 1: I mean like that by having the name Chad, they
Speaker 1: will flatten you into some kind of meme that robs
Speaker 1: you of your individuality. I mean, I just haven't thought
Speaker 1: of the nuances before this. Chad go on, He wraps
Speaker 1: the piece up about how he misses his best friend.
Speaker 1: This is where it gets so weird.
Speaker 7: I know some things about the name Chad that others
Speaker 7: don't like. When I hear it spoken by my wife,
Speaker 7: who doesn't say it often, I can't help but feel
Speaker 7: small flutter in my chest, or when I think of
Speaker 7: my childhood best friend.
Speaker 1: On. Sorry, that's some other thing about the name Chad.
Speaker 1: But all right, all right, sorry, god, right, right. It's
Speaker 1: like it's not that it's your name. It's that your
Speaker 1: partner's talking to you. It's like it's that your wife
Speaker 1: said your name and you got a little bit horny.
Speaker 1: But again, he thinks that this is he thinks he's
Speaker 1: the only person who has felt things like that's just.
Speaker 7: Power of the name. If your name Jack, you ain't
Speaker 7: feeling that sheep?
Speaker 13: Oh man, Sorry, It's also really that sentence has could
Speaker 13: have a mountain of subtext of like why does it, hey, buddy,
Speaker 13: why doesn't she ever say your name?
Speaker 12: What's going on? I hope they just walk around the silence.
Speaker 1: Oh, I normally, like most wives, just grunts in my
Speaker 1: direction and seems generally disappointed whenever she looks at me,
Speaker 1: Oh you're still here.
Speaker 7: I thought you said you're gonna go right at the
Speaker 7: Starbucks today. All right, just don't bother me. I have
Speaker 7: calls starting at eleven. So then again, it's like it's
Speaker 7: unique to chatty cool. Then he goes on. Or when
Speaker 7: I think of my childhood best friend, whom I haven't
Speaker 7: spoken to in years, I remember the way our names
Speaker 7: were always said in a pair, Cam and Chad, and
Speaker 7: I smile because there are lots of stories caught in
Speaker 7: between the utterance of those names together, for better or worse.
Speaker 7: Chad is my name, and I still long to hear
Speaker 7: it said again in the voice of people who are
Speaker 7: no longer here and whom I miss dearly. And it
Speaker 7: goes on. I remember it's like, and that's sort of
Speaker 7: like the last sort of paragraph.
Speaker 13: Which, by the way, the fact that he hasn't talked
Speaker 13: to his childhood best friend is the closest he can
Speaker 13: get to a tragedy exactly.
Speaker 1: That is, he is a fucking tragedy seeking missile. He
Speaker 1: is just doing anything he can to find anything to
Speaker 1: be like. I have faced hardship too. Yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: that SNL sketch drunk Boyfriend where the drunk boyfriend started
Speaker 1: crying about his day. He is my uncle in the
Speaker 1: morning at three in the morning, crying about an uncle
Speaker 1: who you've never heard of before, who died seven years earlier.
Speaker 1: And I used to think that that was the greatest
Speaker 1: encapsulation of a certain type of white person until I
Speaker 1: read Chad's article.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, it's all will I will defend Chad briefly
Speaker 13: and say that yes, he's co opting oppression, which is
Speaker 13: a nightmare.
Speaker 12: But and it's basically like, this is all. This is
Speaker 12: all solved immediately in half a therapy session. This is
Speaker 12: not a news article. Go say that you had feelings
Speaker 12: and discuss what it means with the therapist.
Speaker 1: My wife hates me and I miss cam. Yeah, that's it, okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk about.
Speaker 14: It, right.
Speaker 13: But then I will say he okay, so he adopts
Speaker 13: the What what happens usually with these duds is they
Speaker 13: adopt rebellion, which they don't need at all. They are
Speaker 13: you know, they are the oppression, right, But he does
Speaker 13: turn it using therapy ideas, so at least he's not
Speaker 13: becoming like violently outraged about it, although as somebody named mort,
Speaker 13: I'm like, yeah, try people thinking that your name means
Speaker 13: that you're.
Speaker 12: A fucking hot hot air balloon captain, you know what
Speaker 12: I mean?
Speaker 11: Or like.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like Moore is opening yourself up to
Speaker 7: more bits where people are gonna fuck with you then
Speaker 7: like chat You're like, yeah, whatever, chat.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I got a job interviewing, Like all right, this
Speaker 13: guy's a borsh belt comedian from the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: I guess fuck it. They're like, oh, I wasn't expecting you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I used to be called like jack off or jack
Speaker 1: me off or you know, help your uncle Jack. I
Speaker 1: haven't thought about that fact until reading this article. Like
Speaker 1: the idea that this person is just stuck in that
Speaker 1: initial in those initial hanging chad jokes and like so
Speaker 1: wounded by them is just well, And Chad.
Speaker 7: Is a name for like you can't get Chad, all
Speaker 7: that stuff.
Speaker 13: You say, name for you, Yeah, she's shorthand to be
Speaker 13: like do that just a fucking Chad?
Speaker 1: That dude's a like yeah.
Speaker 7: Again, this is him having to create his own oppression
Speaker 7: because it's that's that's just what he's been trained to do,
Speaker 7: is name.
Speaker 13: Like that guy, you hear my name and you're like,
Speaker 13: that guy probably has a really weird boner, you know, it's.
Speaker 1: A very weird boner where there's originals on tap. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: more mort's coming.
Speaker 13: And by the way, I love my name, and I
Speaker 13: love who I am, and I think I'm doing wonderful
Speaker 13: things and that I'm trying to be less especially.
Speaker 7: When you're when you when you hear your wife say it.
Speaker 7: But also god damn it, if you didn't miss cam.
Speaker 12: I'm glad that he's admitting that his heart flutters. I
Speaker 12: think that's actually I think.
Speaker 1: That's actually good. That's nice.
Speaker 7: Actually, you know, it's funny, like it could have I
Speaker 7: could have been fine with this whole thing if just
Speaker 7: at one moment, even if for one moment, it could
Speaker 7: have been more palatable if he just exercised just a
Speaker 7: fragment of away yes and to be like this is
Speaker 7: wales in comparison to being judged based on your name alone.
Speaker 7: Ask anyone with a non American white sounding name. Ask
Speaker 7: a gender fluid person what that's like stepping a room
Speaker 7: People like, oh, I don't know if that was that,
Speaker 7: even if you did, even if you could acknowledge that
Speaker 7: and how this, how trivial this is, then it would
Speaker 7: maybe you could kind of bring this around to something funny.
Speaker 1: But it's just like when.
Speaker 14: Here's Chad maybe in the nineties and the two thousands,
Speaker 14: and where's Cam.
Speaker 1: Okay, dude, I don't know, man.
Speaker 7: Why did you publish this Business Insider. It's interesting that
Speaker 7: like in the HTML, like the r L sorry the
Speaker 7: U r L of this piece. It's not like you know,
Speaker 7: usually sometimes they'll spell the whole article name out. It
Speaker 7: just said it's business insider dot com slash. My name
Speaker 7: is widely spised. I love it anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just Chad. It's just chat like this.
Speaker 1: This is the premise of an article written by somebody
Speaker 1: named Jeffrey Epstein like that, you know, like that should
Speaker 1: be what it is, but instead it's just somebody who
Speaker 1: is just fucking digging, just reaching so hard. My name
Speaker 1: is under their figuernails.
Speaker 7: Is my name is dry ass bussy. I'm I'm learning
Speaker 7: to live with it.
Speaker 13: Middle name ass name dry all capitalized blissy.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I could have taken this in a way that's like
Speaker 1: you know and in many ways, like the discrimination I've
Speaker 1: faced around the name Chad is probably more good than
Speaker 1: bad and has helped me in ways that I haven't
Speaker 1: even noticed or realized the name Chad probably you know,
Speaker 1: born on second and not realizing it thinking I hit
Speaker 1: a double yeah, exactly exactly, but instead it's just you know,
Speaker 1: he's exercising his poetry boom exactly.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm the follow up piece that's coming out Monday
Speaker 7: from Business Insiders called I Am Karen.
Speaker 1: Hear me roar parenthetical starts recording on her phone and
Speaker 1: crying hysterically. This is the name of that would I'd
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'll hear you out, Karen, Yeah, Karen,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be called Karen, You just don't.
Speaker 7: We're just that's that's what the culture has done to
Speaker 7: that name. Now, Chad whatever, bro.
Speaker 1: I'd love an essay from Karen Kilgarriff about like what
Speaker 1: the past five years have been like someone with an
Speaker 1: actual hilarious person finger speak about it. And yeah, anyways,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Elon Musk real quick. It's just a
Speaker 1: block of complete ship heads we got. Elon Musk has
Speaker 1: announced that his scheduled time as a special government employee
Speaker 1: is now coming to an end. Oh like fine, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: our writer Jam said it has real. Pucci died on
Speaker 1: the way back to his own planet energy. But he
Speaker 1: also along the way, you know, he's like, well, we
Speaker 1: accomplished what we aimed to. His initial goal was cutting
Speaker 1: spending by the way bad, cutting spending bad, But his
Speaker 1: idea was he's going to cut it by two trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: And then he was like started being like and like,
Speaker 1: we said, we're going to cut it to one trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: And then the next time that he was talking about
Speaker 1: it publicly, he was like, we're going to cut it
Speaker 1: to like one hundred and fifty billion dollars, so bit
Speaker 1: off more than he could chew. And is yeah, just
Speaker 1: all around the latest person to be like I'm going
Speaker 1: to use this Trump guy and then just get completely
Speaker 1: fucking owned by Trump and walk out the other side
Speaker 1: massively diminished in so many different ways. Dude, you do
Speaker 1: love to see it.
Speaker 7: He got fucking like, everything you get, you will get played.
Speaker 7: You will get played. He plays his own fucking kids.
Speaker 1: Bro, Like, you're not gonna fucking walk out of there unscathed.
Speaker 7: You will walk out of there and being like, god, damn,
Speaker 7: I got played.
Speaker 1: What the fuck?
Speaker 7: And not even that, I'm like, I feel bad for you.
Speaker 1: That's what you get.
Speaker 7: You want to oh, for sure the one joy we
Speaker 7: have of this fucking administration. Just walk out of there
Speaker 7: with your head hung low. But I mean, like, this
Speaker 7: is all coming as Musk is publicly disagreeing with Trump
Speaker 7: over the spending bill, being like it's kind of antithetical
Speaker 7: to the whole Doge mission to like increase spending like that.
Speaker 7: It's like, dude, just shut up, like you you couldn't
Speaker 7: even he got pressed by a report. He's like, even
Speaker 7: if you cut this much money every single day, you
Speaker 7: still wouldn't hit your goal, like in the timeframe you're saying.
Speaker 7: He's like, and he like lost it because they just
Speaker 7: bothered to do a simple calculation.
Speaker 1: So it's about that. It's not about that.
Speaker 7: It's like, well that's what you're saying Doge will do.
Speaker 7: But yeah, now we're kind of we're truly seeing just
Speaker 7: how weakened Musk is. There's also this these reports like
Speaker 7: where Musk suddenly appear on Trump's Middle East like grifter trip,
Speaker 7: like and it were like, oh, yeah, what's Elon must
Speaker 7: doing there. Apparently he was there because he caught wind
Speaker 7: of a deal that was going to be announced between
Speaker 7: the White House, United Arab Emirates and his main opt
Speaker 7: Sam Altman's Open AI for some big earth killer fucking
Speaker 7: AI project, and he'd went there to try and poison
Speaker 7: the well and sour the deal to either get Altman
Speaker 7: off of it or to get his company XAI to
Speaker 7: also be named in it, and he had no capital.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 7: We're going through with it. There's nothing you can do,
Speaker 7: and he was like fuck. So now he's slunking at us,
Speaker 7: just all like, well, I guess my term is up.
Speaker 7: But he is taking. Like I said, he just hired
Speaker 7: Stephen Miller's wife to work for him personally, so I
Speaker 7: can't wait until he gets her pregnant.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm saying maybe Musk heard that she had three
Speaker 7: kids with teenage mutant Ninja Gebels and was like, oh,
Speaker 7: fertile are we And because I do not have intro
Speaker 7: but I like to be around fertile people, so yeah,
Speaker 7: could you open.
Speaker 1: This envelope please? You're pregnant with my child, yew.
Speaker 13: Don't also when you like when you when you multiply
Speaker 13: things with negative numbers, it becomes negative. Right, So those
Speaker 13: two the lack of charisma between like like Steven Miller
Speaker 13: times Elon Musk times his wife. The child that that
Speaker 13: would create, it would be just a human.
Speaker 1: Black It would be yeah, antimatter. Yeah, that would consume
Speaker 1: the mother.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it'd be like the energy vampire from what we
Speaker 13: do in the Shadows. But all but that also has
Speaker 13: a chainsaw for somebody like the most frightened and confusing thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say the chainsaw is the one good
Speaker 1: because like usually the conservatives who like slash spending and
Speaker 1: just like ruin all governmental programs don't do it with
Speaker 1: like a lot of flair. They're usually like do it
Speaker 1: they know that it's bad, so they do it like
Speaker 1: behind and closed doors. So for somebody to like, you know,
Speaker 1: do a Nazi salute and then like come through with
Speaker 1: a prop gigantic chainsaw and like completely ruin all of
Speaker 1: these government programs, I do feel like, you know, we're
Speaker 1: just by necessity. I think we're headed for a shift
Speaker 1: where people are going to you know the end of
Speaker 1: this neoliberal idea that like government's spending bad, privatization, gave
Speaker 1: us a Coca Cola, so like, must be good. I
Speaker 1: think we're headed for an end to that thinking. But
Speaker 1: I think this is helpful. It helps that shift along
Speaker 1: its way for people to be like, oh yeah, they
Speaker 1: like literally like celebratory in a celebratory manner, just shreaded
Speaker 1: all these things that the world relies on, that our
Speaker 1: world relies on. Yeah, so he's congratulations. I mean, like
Speaker 1: a truly a complete fucking moron.
Speaker 7: And yeah, as you people, as people read articles about
Speaker 7: it and they talk about why he's leaving, and like
Speaker 7: there's a Washington Polish article, He's like, where those just
Speaker 7: became the whipping boy for everyone's misgivings about what's happening.
Speaker 1: And it's really unfair. Not one mention of his Nazi ship.
Speaker 1: Come the fuck on you? What the fuck do you think? Anyway? Whatever?
Speaker 13: Yeah, He's like, all I did was shotgun ampheta means
Speaker 13: and put on meme glasses and come like, but you
Speaker 13: know do with Raisist salutes you?
Speaker 1: Why is every so mad at me?
Speaker 7: This is how he described it in an interview on
Speaker 7: CNNBC CNBC recently, like about like everyone is just absurd.
Speaker 1: He basically said he said.
Speaker 7: In fact, every politician, any public speaker who has spoken
Speaker 7: for any length of time has.
Speaker 1: Made the exact same gesture he kept saying. He did.
Speaker 1: He addressed his Nazis.
Speaker 7: He's saying, He's like, they're trying to misconstrue usaid, my
Speaker 7: heart goes out to you. My heart goes out, easy, baby, easy, poppy.
Speaker 13: It's you can also you can't like give somebody the
Speaker 13: middle finger and be like no, no, I'm just pointing
Speaker 13: to your mouth, right, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 13: there are gestures that means you know this.
Speaker 1: You know, at a time when he was giving speeches
Speaker 1: and like pushing for UH Germany to stop being so
Speaker 1: hard on like not on themselves about their past. Yeah, truly,
Speaker 1: it was basically like get over the Holocaust at that time,
Speaker 1: he uh did he did say like, my heart goes
Speaker 1: out to you. After he did this, he he also
Speaker 1: stopped his speech, stepped to the side, and then gave
Speaker 1: the most enthusiastic Nazi select possible, like the Nazis, well,
Speaker 1: that s op standard operating procedure in terms that would
Speaker 1: be like you're doing a lot. Yeah, You're like that's
Speaker 1: all that was very like you you almost like threw
Speaker 1: your back out when you did that. So we're trying
Speaker 1: not to like we want this to be sustainable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if Hitler saw that, he'd be like that boy has
Speaker 1: too dip on his chip. Nitler was flying on emphatics
Speaker 1: like that. It was like that guy, Wait, have you
Speaker 1: ever seen that clip of him just like rocking back
Speaker 1: and forth. It's just like so fucking hot. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then did it again and then less to anybody think
Speaker 1: that he was fucking around or and then also only
Speaker 1: let's not forget the string of imperson like other people
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, okay, what's cool now, oh we
Speaker 1: good here that like in the following events, like in
Speaker 1: conservative events, people start doing it and then they're like, ah,
Speaker 1: that was that was not what I was doing. It
Speaker 1: was like what you fuck?
Speaker 12: And then he he also didn't.
Speaker 13: He kind of immediately twists tweet a whole bunch of
Speaker 13: like not holocaust puns about it.
Speaker 1: Right, He's always I don't know, maybe he did.
Speaker 13: I think he did, yeah, which is psychotic, like you
Speaker 13: cannot you know what I mean.
Speaker 12: The whole thing is this, it's all trolling, it's all
Speaker 12: a This is a fifty nine sixty four year.
Speaker 13: Old man who's desperate for the validation of four chan
Speaker 13: in twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, Nickquent is obviously super superserved.
Speaker 1: Victor points out that Nick Quent has the like open
Speaker 1: not like yeah legit, Like yeah, now, Si, I think
Speaker 1: I think the Holocaust good? I am Nazi? He was like,
Speaker 1: are you wait? Are you kidding me? You don't think
Speaker 1: that was Nazi slip? He's his next show, just like laughing.
Speaker 1: He was like, oh my god.
Speaker 7: Did it all right?
Speaker 1: Even he was like a little too much dip on
Speaker 1: your chip? Yeah, like that was a lot. He's got blown.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't just throw the frog in a boiling
Speaker 7: pot of Nazi water, you know what, You gotta turn
Speaker 7: it up gradually.
Speaker 1: Bad for sales, Yeah, for the very least.
Speaker 7: Yeah, learned.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back. We're back, and we're going to talk about
Speaker 1: the rehearsal the HBO show. I don't know how many
Speaker 1: people have watched it, so we probably need to give
Speaker 1: people the background on like what the show is. It's
Speaker 1: very very difficult to explain, but yeah, I think people
Speaker 1: know Nathan Fielder from Nathan for You right, And.
Speaker 7: The first season of rehearsal where like the conceit was
Speaker 7: like what if you could rehearse an interaction over and
Speaker 7: over again so you felt like you were in better
Speaker 7: control of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they the first season, the things that they did
Speaker 1: is like somebody had an awkward conversation that they had
Speaker 1: to have, and so they like built a bar where
Speaker 1: they would be having a conversation and like did all
Speaker 1: this stuff and got them prepared, had brought in actress
Speaker 1: to play the person they would be having a conversation with.
Speaker 1: And then they the second through sixth episode, we're all
Speaker 1: about like somebody who wanted to have a kid but
Speaker 1: like didn't know they're ready and was just a fascinating character.
Speaker 1: So they they rehearsed the entire process of raising a
Speaker 1: child from like birth up through like teenage years.
Speaker 7: This one, I'd say it's probably best to just just
Speaker 7: if you haven't seen this season, is just to say
Speaker 7: that this time Nathan Fielder has a very very intense
Speaker 7: interest on airline.
Speaker 1: Safety and will literally stop at nothing to try and
Speaker 1: find a solution for why planes keep crashing. And when
Speaker 1: I say literally anything, any fucking mean it, And I
Speaker 1: don't really want to. I haven't seen this this the finale,
Speaker 1: although I do know what the big spoil the big
Speaker 1: event is has been spoiled. I don't care because everything
Speaker 1: the journey up into this point is such a fucking
Speaker 1: it's your mind will be blown in so many, so
Speaker 1: many ways, over and over again.
Speaker 8: It's wild how timely it is too, Like, there's no like,
Speaker 8: how did he pick this at as like a thing
Speaker 8: to focus on this season? Yeah, and as it's coming out,
Speaker 8: we have all of the disaster after disaster after disaster
Speaker 8: in the news about planes crashing.
Speaker 1: So here's my dark conspiracy theory.
Speaker 7: He's doing that.
Speaker 1: He was making this show at a time that where
Speaker 1: there hadn't been an American aviation disaster in like a decade.
Speaker 1: He needed something to happen. I'm just saying, no, I
Speaker 1: don't think he planned it to that degree, but everything
Speaker 1: short of that is within play with I.
Speaker 7: Mean, the one thing I thought was like, as someone
Speaker 7: who was an insufferable Malcolm Gladwell reader, I was like,
Speaker 7: this is from outliers.
Speaker 1: Yes, the whole thing is this is anyone Malcolm Gladwell's
Speaker 1: was racist. Yeah, He's like, because you know, Asians, it
Speaker 1: was this so basically his theory that I mean, you
Speaker 1: learn the very first episode, so I don't feel like
Speaker 1: this is no, this isn't a spoiler, but there's like
Speaker 1: really good. Like one of the things that they do
Speaker 1: a recreation of is they take the black box recordings
Speaker 1: from actual plane crashes and then have pilots reenact what
Speaker 1: is happening in the cockpit as these crashes happen, and
Speaker 1: there are these just awkward interactions between the pilot and
Speaker 1: a co pilot who's like, yo, we're going to crash,
Speaker 1: but like the pilot is like, no, what are you
Speaker 1: talking Like that one pilot who's like it's a woman
Speaker 1: who is the co pilot, and he's just like so stupid,
Speaker 1: this is my plane, Like you know, it's like such
Speaker 1: a dick, and then they crab it dies on the plane.
Speaker 1: But it's basically the theory is that they don't have
Speaker 1: open enough lines of communication between pilots and co pilots
Speaker 1: to a degree that that hierarchy they're being a pilot
Speaker 1: and co pilot leads to co pilots not saying things
Speaker 1: when something horrible is about to happen, which is like
Speaker 1: their job. Their job is to like they have a
Speaker 1: matching set of steering in intruments right next to them,
Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be there to say, Okay, my plane,
Speaker 1: I'm taking over control because you're fucking this up for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. There's like something you can't see in the situation.
Speaker 1: There's something that you've like just like kind of you're
Speaker 1: having a situation where you can't like properly fly the plane.
Speaker 1: And a lot of times people, even though they know
Speaker 1: they're headed for trouble, like won't do that. The co
Speaker 1: pilots won't do that. And so his theory is like
Speaker 1: you need to find a way to open up that
Speaker 1: line of communication through kind of rehearsing or like putting
Speaker 1: them in little situations where they get better at communicating.
Speaker 7: Right. Yeah, this finale, I haven't seen it, but it's
Speaker 7: it's it's quite a moment from what I'm reading. But
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's really the emphasis of the
Speaker 7: main thing around it, like whether it's the exact finale.
Speaker 7: But Chris, I don't know, how did you feel about
Speaker 7: the show before we kind of dive into what the
Speaker 7: show is trying.
Speaker 1: To do, what it could be doing, or what it
Speaker 1: maybe wasn't doing. So I was already obsessed with the show.
Speaker 8: I loved season one, I love Nathan for You, I
Speaker 8: really enjoyed the Curse, And then watching this finale, my
Speaker 8: jaw was on the floor the entire time. Just the
Speaker 8: absolute scale of this. I'm going to try to talk
Speaker 8: around spoilers, but he did. I guess he did prepare
Speaker 8: for the finale for two and a half years leading
Speaker 8: up to it, so like even before filming. So just
Speaker 8: how long that this man has been working on this
Speaker 8: project is insane. I've never done anything remotely fractional to
Speaker 8: the degree that this guy is doing things right. And
Speaker 8: I found myself like my heart was racing through this finale.
Speaker 8: My jaw was on the floor. I was texting friends
Speaker 8: and being like, please watch this with me right now.
Speaker 8: And it doesn't completely feel like it's not like it's
Speaker 8: just spectacle.
Speaker 1: Yeah there.
Speaker 8: I enjoy the fact that there is like an intellectual
Speaker 8: angle to it, like he's doing it for a purpose,
Speaker 8: he's doing it to it seems like actually affect good change,
Speaker 8: hopefully through the lens of comedy and absurdism, and it's
Speaker 8: just it's really admirable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's how I felt when he was the giant
Speaker 1: baby breastfeeding. That is from Yeah, he's just being waterboarded,
Speaker 1: but by milk breast milk boarded. He really like walks
Speaker 1: the line between like is this are we watching a
Speaker 1: person with a having a mental health crisis who's about
Speaker 1: to like endanger the lives of a bunch of people,
Speaker 1: or like is he a genius? You know? That's like
Speaker 1: kind of the line that he's walking at the through
Speaker 1: Throughout the series. There is like one point from the
Speaker 1: finale that I don't think spoils anything, but I think
Speaker 1: it really like drove the whole thing home for me
Speaker 1: of like the pilot co pilot dynamic. At one point,
Speaker 1: he's like in a in the backseat of an Uber
Speaker 1: and the Uber driver is scrolling through TikTok while they're driving, and.
Speaker 7: Then like phone in the dashboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, phone in the dashboard. I'm like, oh, yeah, I've
Speaker 1: had that, especially like more and more recently, I've like
Speaker 1: had that and I haven't said anything. And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what they're talking about with the co pilot, like that
Speaker 1: they're doing something dangerous that could get you and them killed,
Speaker 1: And you're like, yeah, but I don't want to have
Speaker 1: like an awkward conversation like that would be so awkward
Speaker 1: if I like said that, And what if they gave
Speaker 1: me like a lower rating.
Speaker 7: What if they lowered your casket six feet into the ground. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 7: It's kind of a bin. It's so interesting.
Speaker 8: I wonder if this is like a phenomena of modern
Speaker 8: society or if there is, like is there an analogous
Speaker 8: situation to folks in the past. We're built on this
Speaker 8: on like so many mechanisms of having to trust strangers
Speaker 8: like ubers, taxi drivers, airline pilots and things, and like
Speaker 8: these awkward conversations and having to scirt around them and
Speaker 8: like kind of betting our lives.
Speaker 7: Like is there something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think food safety used to be
Speaker 1: a big thing that like harmed and killed people a lot,
Speaker 1: and it was just like stuff up the supply chain
Speaker 1: from you that you just had to be like, man,
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope this isn't poison and a lot
Speaker 1: of times it was, I hope this canned fish is
Speaker 1: not poisoned. I just remember the story like typhoid Mary,
Speaker 1: who was the person who like created a lot of
Speaker 1: the or like contributed to a lot of the typhoid
Speaker 1: outbreaks in New York. And I think it was like
Speaker 1: the late nineteenth century was just somebody who was head
Speaker 1: typhoid but or head types but like was just shedding it.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't killing her. She was like a host
Speaker 1: that could just like hold it and just give it out,
Speaker 1: and she just kept like cooking for more. Like she
Speaker 1: would get caught, they'd want to like put her in
Speaker 1: an institution. She'd disappear and then go like work for
Speaker 1: another family, and like everybody was.
Speaker 8: Just like incredible diva, like you can't stop amazing. Get
Speaker 8: in the bag exactly.
Speaker 1: She's like, this is I'm good at She had like
Speaker 1: a famous peach cobbler that everybody was like, oh Mary
Speaker 1: or peach cobbler, but like they would all die and
Speaker 1: then like a week later she'd be like, well, I
Speaker 1: guess I've got to go go do this again somewhere else.
Speaker 7: But I guess it is the I guess maybe the
Speaker 7: thing you're getting at, Chris is like, is it just
Speaker 7: because of like this sort of like European drived concept
Speaker 7: of social hierarchy versus like you know, we look when
Speaker 7: we look at the examples of like European hierarchies or
Speaker 7: maybe indigenous cultures.
Speaker 1: That have hierarchies.
Speaker 7: But but like responsibilities or just I beat it a
Speaker 7: little bit more equally, like not in a place you're like,
Speaker 7: I could never say anything to the person in this position,
Speaker 7: which feels very much like coming out of like our
Speaker 7: monarchist sort of like conception of like power structures or
Speaker 7: things like that. I wonder if that's kind of a
Speaker 7: specific thing. I don't know if like that's kind of
Speaker 7: like what's always breeding this idea of like you have
Speaker 7: a place where you do not want to sort of
Speaker 7: rock the boat from wherever you're at, it's sort of
Speaker 7: like the base level where people operate from. And then
Speaker 7: then there are other people who just you know, aren't
Speaker 7: really bothered by that aren't burdened by it to speak
Speaker 7: their mind.
Speaker 8: Crazy of you to think that I was smart enough
Speaker 8: to ever think that that was my point.
Speaker 7: Because the more I know, the more I we like
Speaker 7: learn about like indigenous you know, culture and how it's
Speaker 7: structured and so different and so anti capitalist and antithetical
Speaker 7: to everything that ills us. Now I'm like, oh, like
Speaker 7: this sort of like slocks right in with the idea
Speaker 7: that if you are here, you cannot say shit to
Speaker 7: someone up here and don't even think about it. You
Speaker 7: should try to get up there if you want to
Speaker 7: talk something to them or whatever. It's like, it's just
Speaker 7: not part of our culture to be able to like
Speaker 7: call some shit out without fear of retribution.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a whole massive, you know, libraries and libraries
Speaker 1: of information about you know, indigenous cultures that is just
Speaker 1: being ignored because they didn't have immune systems that were
Speaker 1: prepared for people who lived in pig shit, and so
Speaker 1: we were like, well, we must be superior to them then, right, right,
Speaker 1: and so we won't learn all these like beautiful philosophical
Speaker 1: ideas on how to organize your culture. But we are,
Speaker 1: you know, as more people have an interest in more
Speaker 1: and more. But yeah, that's that book, The Dawn of
Speaker 1: Everything is about. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 8: Damn the world would be so different if the tables
Speaker 8: were turned just ever so slightly.
Speaker 1: It's just like one hundred and.
Speaker 4: Ever so slightly exactly the opposite.
Speaker 8: It's like if the Europeans who came over actually were
Speaker 8: not prepared for the sicknesses that the indigenous people were
Speaker 8: just like yeah, yeah, and George there ain't doing too good.
Speaker 8: But he'll probably make it through. Just don't talk to him.
Speaker 8: They're like, I'm not talk to him, right.
Speaker 1: We're good. I mean we're just like not like just
Speaker 1: they The only way that the European settlers were able
Speaker 1: to like come in and colonize the Americas was because
Speaker 1: everybody just died off. It was like an apocalypse happened,
Speaker 1: and then you know, all all of these battles and like,
Speaker 1: you know, the things of like cowboys versus Indians, was
Speaker 1: just that that's like the remnants they were fighting, the
Speaker 1: post apocalyptic remnants of people who had like ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of their population have been wiped out by disease.
Speaker 1: So like, just if that hadn't happened, that would have
Speaker 1: been plenty to just keep things even. But I don't know, anyways,
Speaker 1: we should get back to the rehearsal about manifest destiny. Man,
Speaker 1: you know in many ways. Shit, what do.
Speaker 8: You have a situation in your life right now that
Speaker 8: you could use a rehearsal for? Like, is there a
Speaker 8: conversation or something looming in your head that you wish
Speaker 8: that you had Nathan Fulder on hand?
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yes, yes, what is that? Let's open up?
Speaker 7: I want to tell Jack, I've been lying about who
Speaker 7: I am for the beast seven Oh my.
Speaker 1: God, I did not go to student go to seven years.
Speaker 7: I didn't go to college.
Speaker 1: Jack. This isn't even a microphone. It's like I'm holding
Speaker 1: and I've been getting away with it.
Speaker 7: I don't know, Oh man a situation. I think I
Speaker 7: would have used one. When I told my grandparents I
Speaker 7: wasn't gonna get baptized when I was like eighteen, I
Speaker 7: was running that shit through my head. They're always like,
Speaker 7: you should get baptized, baby, you should get bad you
Speaker 7: should get saved, baby. You should think about it because
Speaker 7: you know you only had a dedication.
Speaker 1: You should get a baptism.
Speaker 7: And I was like the whole time, I'm like, bro,
Speaker 7: I am so off this religious shit like it is
Speaker 7: to me. It's it's like fucking everything up around or
Speaker 7: I see it as a huge driver of a lot
Speaker 7: of bad things around me historically and currently. And then
Speaker 7: I the best I did. I remember getting really high
Speaker 7: and it hit me on like wait, okay, we'll flipp
Speaker 7: And I remember I went to my grandparents house. They
Speaker 7: brought it up again. I said, you know, Grandma and Grandpa,
Speaker 7: I don't think I want to get baptized. But if
Speaker 7: I met Jesus, he would think I'm doing shit right.
Speaker 7: He wouldn't say I need to really tighten up. He
Speaker 7: would be like, Okay, that dude is all right. And
Speaker 7: that's how I look at it. And I don't know
Speaker 7: if I need to have a baptism to be a
Speaker 7: good person. But I do say that I treat others
Speaker 7: with respect, and I see that I say that as
Speaker 7: a baseline, and they're.
Speaker 14: Like, oh, I never I didn't, okay, okay, And I
Speaker 14: was like, thank god. I thought they're gonna be like that,
Speaker 14: got fuck out. But they're loving people and it wasn't
Speaker 14: that big of a deal. But that was That was
Speaker 14: a conversation I definitely rehearsed many times in my head.
Speaker 1: In your head, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think
Speaker 1: the Fielder method would have worked on your grandparents? I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's where actors follow people around them. It's
Speaker 1: all so creepy. It's the primaries. Yeah, what about risk?
Speaker 1: You have a you have a rehearsal moment that you
Speaker 1: could have used.
Speaker 7: Hmmm.
Speaker 8: I'm really good at speaking my mind, I think so
Speaker 8: maybe it's like kind of the opposite. I probably need
Speaker 8: someone to like intervene and be like, actually, maybe we
Speaker 8: don't need to have that conversation.
Speaker 1: Tongue holder if you will, Yeah that no, no, no,
Speaker 1: let's hold your tongue and give you a take back
Speaker 1: on this one. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I need like an instant replay right right, right right,
Speaker 8: instant redommm, what about you, Jack?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think I think I would get more in
Speaker 1: my head if I had rehearsals. I think I think
Speaker 1: I have kind of the opposite situation where like I
Speaker 1: just need to do the thing because I ruminate too
Speaker 1: much on things already and like over prepare.
Speaker 7: I could see you getting fucked up by like a curveball,
Speaker 7: Like if you had rehearse the thing over and over
Speaker 7: and the first interaction wasn't something on the chart, you'd
Speaker 7: been like, fuck.
Speaker 1: And I do have a chart, and I have I
Speaker 1: have this whole conversation branched out and.
Speaker 7: This isn't on my diagram. You're just holding a stone
Speaker 7: tablet as you talk, and good, okay, we did so
Speaker 7: that leads to this, Yes, I am having a good day,
Speaker 7: and how is your husband?
Speaker 1: Yes? Check, check check.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean this rehearsal thing, I think, is
Speaker 7: it the communication or is it capitalism?
Speaker 1: You know? That's right, Like, so that's that's one point
Speaker 1: that people have been making. I mean, it is a
Speaker 1: good point that communication breakdowns have caused problems in the past.
Speaker 1: It's also not like a new idea. I think the
Speaker 1: show does kind of I think it acknowledges that some
Speaker 1: people have pointed this out before, but it does make
Speaker 1: it seem like this is like kind of a completely
Speaker 1: new idea, right, and it's it's not. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of like group dynamic industries that focus on people being
Speaker 1: able to like rehearse or like do little games of
Speaker 1: role playing where people just kind of get in the
Speaker 1: right energy space and it is really interesting like that
Speaker 1: something as silly as like okay, I am in all
Speaker 1: years and your first officer blunt and just like something
Speaker 1: that silly, but like it just energetically like changes the
Speaker 1: dynamic of like two people who haven't really met or talked.
Speaker 1: All right, start with space work.
Speaker 7: Start with space work.
Speaker 8: That's right, I mean, yeah, talking about space work. I
Speaker 8: feel like I come from an improv background. I did
Speaker 8: a lot of it, and I think that all improv
Speaker 8: is rehearsing for the unrehearsable. I think there's like a lot,
Speaker 8: a lot in my mind, Like I'm naturally like an
Speaker 8: anxious person first, like in terms of like these conversations
Speaker 8: that we're talking about, like the big ones of not
Speaker 8: wanting to get baptized or like coming out as queer
Speaker 8: or whatever, but like something about you can't prepare for those,
Speaker 8: but if you can.
Speaker 4: Prepare for the unpreparable, that feels good.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: I can get in his mind space and be like, oh,
Speaker 8: I get why you would want to do this, right, Yeah,
Speaker 8: because at.
Speaker 1: Least if you've you've if you felt the sort of
Speaker 1: sensation of like oh I need to adapt and listen
Speaker 1: and quickly do something like this. Yeah, it does sort
Speaker 1: of set the bar for you, at least with.
Speaker 7: Confidence to you know, encounter those kinds of moments.
Speaker 1: But yeah, going back to just and this is a
Speaker 1: bit of a recurring theme on this podcast. So Nathan
Speaker 1: Fielder is a comedian. His interest is in interpersonal awkwardness.
Speaker 1: But like the bigger problem with aviation safety as capitalism
Speaker 1: and airlines and aerospace manufacturers putting profits first and needs
Speaker 1: of workers and passengers behind profit, and underfunding regulatory agencies
Speaker 1: like the FAA while giving huge tax breaks to profitable
Speaker 1: companies like Boeing. But it's you know, communication and the
Speaker 1: cockpit and things like this that are failings of the employees.
Speaker 1: Are things that those corporations actually point to to try
Speaker 1: to escape culpability, like they'll they'll be like, well, look,
Speaker 1: this was actually just a failing of the flight, true
Speaker 1: right error, Yeah, operator error, when in fact, like a
Speaker 1: lot of the times, it's because people are being overworked
Speaker 1: and not being given enough rest, and like the regulations
Speaker 1: that were put in place to protect the passengers on
Speaker 1: their planes is getting bent or like push in a
Speaker 1: different direction because it's no longer you know that FAA
Speaker 1: just is. It's like the FDA, all all those things,
Speaker 1: all those agencies that just don't have the money or
Speaker 1: the manpower that a massive corporation does. In the United States,
Speaker 1: it's like in a very dangerous way, like anti worker too,
Speaker 1: because in that one episode, all the pilots talk about
Speaker 1: it is like, well, you can't tell them you're having
Speaker 1: any kind of emotional.
Speaker 7: Distress that they will fucking ground your ass, and so
Speaker 7: your whole job depends on you pretending nothing is wrong
Speaker 7: with you ever too, And I'm like that's not good,
Speaker 7: Like it can't be that you said, like we only
Speaker 7: are interested people. I can actually you know, they can
Speaker 7: fucking compartmentalize to the point that we don't know what's
Speaker 7: going on behind those eyes. That's what we're looking for.
Speaker 1: I don't love to hear that. Yeah, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't know about that.
Speaker 7: I'd like I prefer a situation where someone goes, you know,
Speaker 7: I'm a little stressed and overwhere I think I need
Speaker 7: to I need I need to I need a few days.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: That's that feels a little bit safer. But yeah, and
Speaker 7: I think that was also one of the moments in
Speaker 7: that show too that really touched me, were like when
Speaker 7: he was just using like crew people to like engage
Speaker 7: these other pilots to just have conversations and these people
Speaker 7: were so starved for like conversation. That hit me in
Speaker 7: a way when I was like, oh my god, like
Speaker 7: these people feel so I mean, obviously these are the
Speaker 7: people that they got to be on the show, but
Speaker 7: at least this sort of sub section of pilots that
Speaker 7: they had on the show felt so in need of
Speaker 7: like being able to talk about what's going on or
Speaker 7: just yeah, like.
Speaker 1: Actors would come up and be like, how's your day going,
Speaker 1: And they'd be like, I guess it goes back to
Speaker 1: my mom, you know, and I like it was just
Speaker 1: their chest.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that's on patriarchy.
Speaker 1: That's that's the second sentence.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just like there's so much culture around like
Speaker 8: keeping your emotions tight, Like we've built these structures like
Speaker 8: like that's just built into like these cultures. Now emotions
Speaker 8: are gonna be They're bad, they're not good. You do
Speaker 8: not talk about them. Tough enough, do your job and
Speaker 8: if you funk up, that's on you.
Speaker 1: That's why Malcolm Liwell was right, you know in many
Speaker 1: ways as it comes back to spot on bro, they're
Speaker 1: just they're too respectful. Really does what it is? They're
Speaker 1: too polite? Oh? Thanks? Oh really Canadian? Is that right
Speaker 1: down to being rice farmers for so long?
Speaker 4: What you know?
Speaker 1: What's going on now?
Speaker 7: Look at the size of their hands, the space between
Speaker 7: their thumb and ring finger. I'm like, the fuck the
Speaker 7: space between.
Speaker 1: Politiot Yeah, we've got problems with politikins. There's now a
Speaker 1: massive pilot shortages. By the way, they're around eighteen thousand
Speaker 1: fewer commercial pilots than the industry needed in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: and people haven't stopped flying since twenty twenty three, and
Speaker 1: in fact, I feel like it's gone up a little bit.
Speaker 7: Well, what say is because the benefits suck. You don't
Speaker 7: want to be a pilot no more.
Speaker 1: It's just these dang pilots are too weak.
Speaker 7: Yeah, quote overworked to the point of fatigue due to
Speaker 7: disruptions in last.
Speaker 8: Minute schedule changes. As a pilot's union said, huh, they're
Speaker 8: two woke. We need them to be overworked in us
Speaker 8: sleep exactly.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right too, damn warp. All right, that's
Speaker 1: gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like
Speaker 1: and review the show if you like, The show means
Speaker 1: the world to Miles. He needs your validation. Folks. I
Speaker 1: hope you're having a gree weekend and I will talk
Speaker 1: to you Monday. Bye.
