48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560

Speaker 1: from Europe. Since is it street drinking. No, it's not.

50
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: But I figured you would chime in with that, so

51
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't need to uh suggest that.

52
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: But Robert, first, what is something from your search history

53
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you are? Uh? That's revealing about

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: who I am. Oh, I've been looking at pictures of

55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: swoll Harry Potter, which actually ties into my favorite tweet

56
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: of the day, swoll Harry Potter. Category of images. There's

57
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: a number of images of here, I've got one right here,

58
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: how swollenre we talking? Look at that? You got you

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: got your you got your swoll Harry Potter, bro do

00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: you even leviosa? Oh they photoshop Swoldemort. Yeah, they photoshop

61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: stallone and then they're Swoldemort on the other side. It's great,

62
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's wonderful. Wow, that might get me into

63
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: the movie franchise. Now, yeah, so that's what they look like. Yeah,

64
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: that's what they look like. It's gotten me wanting to

65
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: um to try an innovative new thing, which is like

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: rebooting a book that's currently very popular and not very

67
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: very old and just do Harry Potter, but line by

68
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: line go through and make it more swoll. So like yeah,

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: like in the beginning, like instead of Ron being good

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: at chess or whatever, like he's doing a bunch of

71
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: preacher curls and then like he's got to do a

72
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: dead lift in order to get through to the next

73
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: room or whatever, and he does it and so they

74
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: can pass through, but he blows out his rectum. That's

75
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: what Okay, we're that well but wait, belt man, But

76
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: it's that's the imaginative thing they use. Their magic floor

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: is just lifting things. No, no, no, the magic is

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: totally separate. There's still magic, it's totally separate. They're just

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: all swollen as well. So they're doing magic, but they

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: also are just all really into you know, being beefcakes.

81
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, lifting door. There you go. They're actually they're

82
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: rebooting the Jack Reacher franchise as a TV series with

83
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: somebody who's not Tom Cruise. So yeah, why not Harry Potter.

84
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is essentially what Harry Potter would have

85
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: looked like where it made in the eighties, because you

86
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: have just ripped s Harry Potter, not ripped a s

87
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: as in what Bond did when he blood. What is

88
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Man? Overrated podcasts? Yeah? Yeah,

89
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: well you see I was. I had this great experience

90
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: the other day of instead of talking about Hitler at

91
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: length on my podcast, I was just screaming about Hitler

92
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: to someone in a parking garage and it was really,

93
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: uh it was it was nice, so I would know

94
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: you were arrested. Wait, is that when I caught you

95
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: having that argument with the newspaper sn We can talk

96
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: about who caught who arguing what son of a bit,

97
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: but the important thing is that, well, I think podcasts

98
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: have a valuable role. I think screaming is also really important,

99
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: and so we'd like to urge our listeners to do

100
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: more screaming in their daily lives, just like try it

101
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: out a little bit for the Catharsis or just as

102
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: a way to just for the artist screaming for the

103
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: love of a good scream. Yeah, so you're saying that

104
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: if the real world could be more like Info Wars, Yeah, Like, Okay,

105
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: the reason he's bad is that nobody else is doing

106
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: screaming as much. Yeah, comparatively he looks weird. He would, yeah, exactly,

107
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: he would be normal, and then maybe he'd be less angry.

108
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: This world that you've you're already building in this appearance

109
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: on the Daily Zeitgeist with just swollen Harry Potter and

110
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: just people shouting at each other giving me anxiety. Yeah,

111
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like everybody's just what is something you think

112
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: is underrated? Okay, I'm sorry if this is a little

113
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: bit of a bummer, but I've been thinking about like

114
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: the tactical value of suicide. Right, Okay, think about Hitler, right,

115
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: real bad guy right sixties, some odd people try to

116
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: kill him, nobody succeeds until Hitler kills Hitler. What if

117
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: we tried to do that with other bad people like

118
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Vladimir putin real bad guy can't go to war with Russia.

119
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Too many nukes. What if you just try to make

120
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: him really sad and you put out a bunch of

121
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: stories about how like everybody's wearing sure it's all the time,

122
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: and there's no more horses and journalists are living longer

123
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: than ever, and how to try to bum them out?

124
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: But how do you gaslight someone like that? It is

125
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: so powerful that I mean, it's it's it's going to

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: be a collective effort. It's a collective horses. Yeah, we

127
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of the horses. We gotta all start

128
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: wearing shirts. Uh, nobody can do taekwondo anymore, But I

129
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: think we could bum them out, just take away the

130
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: things that bring him joy. Yeah, or like you can

131
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: do it in a more positive way to like with

132
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: war on terre Okay, nine eleven happens and and and

133
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: we get attacked, right, and what do we do? We

134
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: invade two countries and we go after him. What if

135
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: we just started dropping jeep wranglers and food and DVDs

136
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: of the Simpsons and generators and stuff into Afghanistan And

137
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: you do the same, like you do that, and then

138
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: a sam bin laden's like, oh, I did all this

139
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: mean stuff, and now America is more popular in Afghanistan

140
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: than ever because everybody's got a rock and ass Jeep.

141
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: It's really sad. Or with like Iraq, you just start

142
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: dropping like a bunch of nice stuff in there too,

143
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: but you include a bunch of really good romance novels

144
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: written in Arabic but credited to George W. Bush. That

145
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: was the thing that's it. I'm like, the most is

146
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: writing romance. So you make George W. Bush the most

147
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: popular romance novelist in Iraq. Bams and I'm just start

148
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: like changing Daniel Steel covers this reading by George W. Bush.

149
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: I just feel like that would work. I feel like

150
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: that would work. Well. I think, well, when's your meeting

151
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: with the Pentagon? Uh, they have not been returning my

152
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: car or my screams unfortunately, really probably pretty frustrated. Next

153
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: step just go start screaming in front of the Pentagon.

154
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: I think that work. That's my plan for the next

155
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: couple of days. I'm on board with everything except you

156
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: said start wearing shirts and yeah, no, no, Dice, my friend,

157
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: nice to see you with your shirt off in the studio. Yeah,

158
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: always you look very free, thank you. What is a myth? Finally,

159
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: what's something people think is true you know to be false.

160
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: I think people think speed limits keep us safe, and

161
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that they do, Okay. I think that

162
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: the data shows overwhelmingly that, like, especially when you are yearing,

163
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: like where I grew up in Texas, where they're like

164
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: they'll change the speed limit every couple of miles, so

165
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: that you've got like speed traps and stuff, people spend

166
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: more time focusing on what speed they're going and whether

167
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: or not they're going to get a ticket, then focusing

168
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: on driving safely. And in a lot of like rural

169
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: areas in the US where they've actually taken away posted

170
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: speed limits and there are no posted speed limits, they

171
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: found that people tend to not drive faster than they're

172
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: comfortable with. And so I think that we overvalue like

173
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: when you when you yell at somebody, like you can't

174
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: go faster than this in an area. I think that

175
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: like an unreasonable focus on like whether or not people

176
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: are obeying the letter of the traffic laws is counterproductive

177
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: to safety, and it's better to have a system whereby

178
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: the police out there just looking at who's driving, like

179
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: an asshole who's driving dangerously. Like that's a problem. But

180
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: don't you need like sort of that silent barrier to

181
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: keep people from like, you know, because I feel like

182
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: I'll see people who are driving fast. I like, you

183
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: may not be comfortable driving that fast, but you're terrible

184
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: driving and you're going sixty on a residential I mean,

185
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: but that person is not their speedless in that person

186
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: is not obeying the law either. So the people who

187
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: are ship heads and drive like ship heads are gonna

188
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: drive like ship heads no matter what. And all you

189
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: can do is catch them when they're driving like ship

190
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: But when you have like all these like this is

191
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: a twenty five and then it moved up to a

192
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: thirty five and that moves to forty five, like that's

193
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: maybe counterproductive, very libertarian of you. I'm not a libertarian,

194
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: but I'm not pro law, right, I mean, I'm not

195
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: pro tell me what to do. Yeah, So we would

196
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: just make it more in the hands of police to

197
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: subjectively enforce the what they think good driving is in

198
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: bed driving, Well, no, I mean I think part of

199
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: what this would rely on is having more video capture

200
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: of like what's going on, Like if a police officers

201
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: pulling with someone over. They should you know, there should

202
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: be something recording on their car so you can be like, no,

203
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: look at this guy, he's swerving around, driving like an asshole.

204
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: We captured it. But also, I think, like you start

205
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: with just removing speed limits in certain rural areas, because

206
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: we've already done that in some parts of the country

207
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: and it hasn't increased accidents. In some cases, it's dropped them.

208
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: So you start by like, Okay, well, let's extend this

209
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: to a couple more areas. Let's see if this pattern holds.

210
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Let's see if this continues to work, and if it does,

211
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: then you spread it to other areas and figure out.

212
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: Like I think, you just have to have an idea

213
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: in your head that the solution to a problem like

214
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: dangerous driving isn't always slamming down more laws. Sometimes it's

215
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: looking at what we're already doing and seeing if we

216
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: can alter the rules in certain areas in a way

217
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: that's more effective. I'll tell you one free way that

218
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: won't work on is the one thirty four in Los

219
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Angeles because that ship is like the fucking auto Bond.

220
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: People drive so recklessly on that ship. If you got

221
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: rid of it. I know people be like, I bet

222
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: I can hit one four now. But I think one

223
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: of the things we would find is that there's no

224
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: eliminating all of the asshole drivers in a metropolitan area

225
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: that's almost twenty million people, Like, there's just so many

226
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: many But I guess there's too many people. Then you

227
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: can't do it because it's just the asshole numbers just

228
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: by volume. There's more. And I'm a talking about let's

229
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: try with some rural and interstatements and see how that works.

230
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like, let's change Los Angeles traffic structure

231
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: over night. And when do you have your meeting with

232
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: the NTSP for this? Uh? They again have not returned

233
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: my shouts email bureaucracy. Oddly enough, they got back to

234
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: me on GAB. Really did not expect that when they

235
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: did that national speed limit, the when they turned the

236
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: entire United States into a fifty five mile per hour

237
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: zone at most, did that make the road safer? I

238
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: mean they didn't keep doing it, you know. To be honest,

239
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: I have not done uh this is my talk out

240
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 1: of my ASK podcast. I haven't done the research that

241
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: I would do to seriously introduced policy. Uh so maybe

242
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: but I mean, we don't do it anymore, and it

243
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: seems fine. Yeah, and I'm I can't drive fifty five. Yeah,

244
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: I remember that I don't have the rexes for this.

245
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm Yeah. Some other transportation myths that you've debunked.

246
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: The first article you wrote for correct was about safety

247
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: laws that don't make you any safer. Yeah, that was

248
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: one was one of the first, one of the early ones. Yeah. Yeah,

249
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: like speed bumps don't make you any safer. No, their

250
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: garbage and they sunk up your car they do. Yeah. Yeah,

251
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: so that all those kids bikes run, you know what,

252
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: they get caught up in your fucking axle. For every

253
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: kid who gets caught up in your axle, you make

254
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: a job for a wheelchair company, right yeah, so yeah, yeah,

255
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: there you go. Alright, let's talk about nick off remember

256
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: real quick? Oh well, I love nick Offerman. I mean

257
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: his brand is so strong. Um, he loves leg of

258
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: Land Scotch and he you've seen like even on Parks

259
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: direct Ron Swanson always talks about lag of Ulan and

260
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: like there was that ule tied Carol ule log video

261
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: of him. There was like forty five minutes on YouTube

262
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: of him just sipping lag of Ulan by a fire,

263
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: not saying anything and it's just the sound of the fire. Well,

264
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: they upped it again at a black Hawks game this

265
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: weekend Shout of Chicago. They just painted him bronze and

266
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: he just sat in a chair and drank fucking scotch

267
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: in front of a game. Yeah, they were like unveiling

268
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: a statue, so they're like, oh, here's this other statue,

269
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: and it's just him drinking the scotch. And that was

270
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: that story. That's his brand. He loves lag of Youlan.

271
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: He's being paid to sit places and just very calmly

272
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: sip there thing that he loves. It's a smart brand

273
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: that is. That's a smart brand. That is an exercise

274
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: in just brand brand marketing that I think we all

275
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: need to think about me And I wish I had

276
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: trademarked bench drinking when I first thought of it. I

277
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: know that would have been smart. Charlie Sheen beat us

278
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: to it. Who is somebody like that, who is just

279
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: their character no matter what? And is he a first

280
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: of his kind? I don't know. When I met him,

281
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: he talks the same way and it's very measured and like, Hi,

282
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm Nick and he like he jokes. His laugh though,

283
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: is not like that. When he laughs, he's like like

284
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: it's like this really hilarious stone or laugh. But I

285
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: don't know who is like how they are, who's not

286
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: their character. I feel like John Malkovich could probably, like

287
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't I might not see a difference in Malkovich, right,

288
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: who's just always kind of borderline creepy. He's never cast

289
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: as anything but John Malkovich. Yeah, um, yeah, that's it's interesting.

290
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: One day, Miles, we will be paid to go eat

291
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: Domino's thing Domino's. I'll get paid to just eat Wingstop. Yeah.

292
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: It's harder than you guys think. But sometimes you pour

293
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: your heart out to a company and yeah, try to

294
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: advertise for their products, and they just don't They just

295
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: don't buy it. That's that's fried last problem. Lem. I

296
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: think maybe one of his smart decisions was to, you know,

297
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: just aim in the middle range at a leg of

298
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Yuelan as opposed to a giant multinational corporate that's the

299
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: top range. Scotch Jack. It is a great guy, but yeah,

300
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: it's not like he's like and that's why I drink Budweiser. Yeah, yeah, alright, guys,

301
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: the thank you next video. I know it's all Robert

302
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: that you've been talking about for the past couple of days. Um,

303
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: I can't get enough Pete, Pete Davidson. Yeah, he's not it,

304
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: but the video references him the It's a very well

305
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: executed video for a very catchy song from the most

306
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: famous person on earth with a very specific demographic the

307
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: sorts of people who would watch a video premier online. Um.

308
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: So this was unsurprisingly an enormous hit when it premiered.

309
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: At a certain point, thousand people were viewing the video

310
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: at the same time on YouTube, which is pretty insane

311
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: because YouTube is a pretty huge site and it managed

312
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: to like cause lag time on YouTube. It was like

313
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: too much for Google. Yeah. Yeah. So the way that

314
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: this has kind of filtered down to people who aren't

315
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Ariana Grande is that yesterday there were a couple of

316
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: stories breaking about Pete Davidson claiming to be bullied, and uh,

317
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: it did make me realize what a uniquely shitty position

318
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: the video kind of puts him in, because it's sort

319
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: of casually dismisses his role in her life as just

320
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, like one step among many, Like he's put

321
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: in a list of four different ex boyfriends. She also

322
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: reveals in the video that she broke up with him

323
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: because her burn book says sorry I dipped it has

324
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: his face scratched out and uh puts him in just

325
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: an unremarkable third position in a succession of four x

326
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: is and who's number one, Big Sean, who she says

327
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: she thought she'd end up with, and in the burn book,

328
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: the things she writes about him is could still get it.

329
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: So it's gotta hurt a little bit if you're Pete Davidson,

330
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to get over this breakup. And then yeah,

331
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: the guys like, I'd still suck this one though, right,

332
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't understand what sorry I dipped means sorry sorry

333
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: I had you dip out on you. I dipped out,

334
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: I abandoned you, I left you this people were wondering

335
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: who left too, who dumped two? And she kind of

336
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: put it out there, right, and it just sucks too

337
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have nearly the same kind of cachet

338
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: she does. So immediately everyone's like, oh, Pete Davidson's whack then,

339
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: which I think probably led him to write about how like, man,

340
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: so many people are like telling me to kill myself,

341
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's pretty messed up, Like you can't maybe

342
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: you can't do something like that anymore. Like it's not

343
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: like what tell somebody killed themselves online in a comment. No,

344
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean you can do that, and in fact it's

345
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: very popular kid. No, But like back in the like,

346
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: musicians have always written songs about their past relationships or

347
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: in the case of Eric Clapton, about just some lady

348
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: who wanted to get with who was his friend's wife.

349
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Like that's that's just the way that music works. But

350
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: like something like this, you're putting a specific person on

351
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: blast and targeting them even if that's not your goal.

352
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: You know what crazy people on the internet do. Like

353
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of a messed up thing, like it. It

354
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: would be one thing if this was like someone on

355
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: her level of fame, then I guess it would just

356
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: be like one more beef between two famous people. But

357
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: you're like bringing a mob down on a guy I

358
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: think with a fan base. So it's gonna happen either

359
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: way because like they're so dedicated. So if it's like, well,

360
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: we're arian always right, you know, are they where do

361
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: they rank on the like beehive? Being like they don't

362
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: get me involved in that. I don't want them coming

363
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: from me being the most dedicated and talented fan. I

364
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: think the Beehive is probably the most scary organized. But

365
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: there she's got I mean, she's got fans, and I

366
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: mean that there's a testament to their fanaticism when people

367
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: like Pete Davidson are like, man like, it's really sucked

368
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: going through this breakup. Yeah. I mean, he's just gone

369
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: through a really public breakup with someone he thought he

370
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: was going to marry who's like more famous than him.

371
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: And also this is on the heels of a very

372
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: public battle with mental illness, and he's also in recovery.

373
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: It's just like a really i don't know, really uniquely

374
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: shitty position that she's put in. Pretty rough to drop

375
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: this song when he's in recovery to you know, this

376
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: is what happens when, you know, celebrities get with each

377
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: other and they're petty young people too. So and I'm

378
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: sure he'll be fine, but yeah, yeah, well that's what

379
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: he said too. He was like, you know, I'll be fine,

380
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: He's like, but I just felt like people needed to

381
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: know that this isn't like the most fun ship for me. Yeah.

382
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: The incident that finally made him ask people to stop

383
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: was a waiter put the song on in the restaurant

384
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: he was eating in and then started filming him. Oh

385
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: so they did that for the Graham. It wasn't even

386
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: a quinny like he was set up. Gross. That's really gross.

387
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: The internet what it does with people. Man just didn't

388
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: get that viral tweet basically, right. See, Okay, So like

389
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: in terms of laws that we do need that I

390
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: would support, there should be a government bureau that's just

391
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: a couple of guys, guys and ladies who walk around

392
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: when someone does something like that for the Graham, right,

393
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: it's really shitty. Just hit him once right in the jaw,

394
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: not not enough to do serious damage to the permanent

395
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: just like a person box up and says, you know

396
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: such and such, you did boom and then you're done.

397
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you graham it, maybe you grant it too. Maybe

398
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: there's a government, Graham, and you monetize it to pay

399
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: for healthcare. And what is your meeting with the Department

400
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: of Justice? Again, my screams have not been returned. Damn it. Alright,

401
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick moment to scream while you

402
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: listen to these messages and we're back and we want

403
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about the recently deceased President

404
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: George Herbert Hawker Bush because as the nation is in mourning,

405
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: there's a national day of Morning on Wednesday of this week,

406
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: as declared by our current fearless leader, and this is

407
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: this is one that we've actually had our eye on

408
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: for a while. To put it in one way, I

409
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: mean our story. Yeah, and because impending his kind of

410
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: impending demise, because you know they say that once one

411
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: member of the elderly couple goes, then soon after, if

412
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: they're truly in love, or if the woman is really

413
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: the backbone and the hard ass and the muscle in

414
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: the relationship, then as in this case, then maybe uh

415
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: you know. There there, I'd say the length of time

416
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: he died after her proofs he didn't really love her, wow, Well,

417
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: that we were debating a lot of people were saying, like, oh,

418
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: he'll probably be more heartbroken. It could be weeks, could

419
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: be months. He went on for months. Yeah, I mean,

420
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say that we are

421
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: taking action on when we thought this might happen, but

422
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: we might have been. And I'll just leave that there. Yeah,

423
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: and maybe Nick or I have one and we'll have

424
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: to look at the digital evidence. But uh yeah, it

425
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: was interesting though to see all the uh the very

426
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: interesting uh I guess changing of history, or at least

427
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: the very selective focus on certain aspects of his presidency

428
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: and him is a great thing about being a likable,

429
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: charismatic guy is that you can do horrible things like Trump.

430
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna be like telling warm stories about Donald Trump,

431
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: like mainstream media won't, but you've got a lot of

432
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: people doing it for Bush because he was just a

433
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: charming guy. Yeah, and he got along with his critics,

434
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: like him and Dana Carvey were like pals, even though

435
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Dana Carvey would like regularly make fun of him on

436
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: S and L. Yeah. Well, and he was fine with

437
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: Dana Carvey. But he was really pissed about the Simpsons,

438
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: which is why the Simpsons the greatest step. But yeah,

439
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: he he mentioned them specifically in a speech, something about

440
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: like how we needed more of less Simpson. Yeah, less

441
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: less people who are like the Simpsons, basically like that.

442
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: The Simpsons had Marge write him a letter and stuff,

443
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: being like, well, we think our families pretty okay, and

444
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: it was like this whole thing, and that's why they

445
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: made that episode where Homer and Bart fight with George H. W.

446
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: Bush the best episode of the Simpsons. Yeah, that's funny

447
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: to remember a time when The Simpsons was like the

448
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: edgiest thing going in America, and like, look how big

449
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: they made Ross Perot's ears. He said, don't have a what? Yeah,

450
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he lived an indisputably interesting life. There's a

451
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: picture of him shaking hands with Babe Ruth baseball diamond

452
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: when he's in college. He was not the world's greatest

453
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: military pilot, but one, you know, the right level of

454
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: military pilot to have lived a very interesting career as

455
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: a military pilot where he got shut down against that

456
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: whole thing. Yeah, got got shut down a lot and

457
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Is the only person known to

458
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: have crashed a plane off the naval pier in Chicago.

459
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: That was a piece of piece of trivia we learned

460
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: this weekend. What is it about Republican statesman and not

461
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: being very good pilots because because they got I'm just saying, well,

462
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean Harrison Ford though, and he's you know, is

463
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: he conservative? No, he's not. So I was saying, you

464
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: might as well be with his look of having that airing,

465
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: I'd be like a conservative and denial. I would just

466
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: assume that I can buy acid from him from and

467
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: that would be my first question to Harrison Ford, And

468
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: he's like, what, okay, come over here. Yeah, but I mean,

469
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: besides the David Kappa feel his grabbing women on the

470
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: ass and telling them yeah whilst telling them the joke.

471
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: You know my favorite magician is that that all happened

472
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: in the past, you know, handful of years when he

473
00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: was in a wheelchair, very old, maybe wasn't fully at

474
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: functioning level. But besides that, I can't really think of

475
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: a bad thing to say about the guy. Can get

476
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: you do a show called Behind the Bastards robbery, and

477
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm feeling there's no material for you when you talk

478
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: about George h heard about the Highway of Death. Uh yeah,

479
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, but it actually happened when the Iraqi army

480
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: was in retreat. There were thousands upon thousands of men,

481
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: many of them in civilian vehicles, fleeing from the highway

482
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: from Kuwait back into Iraq. There were no longer any

483
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: threat to the United States military. Now that they've been

484
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: that much of a threat to begin with. But they

485
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: were running the hell away and he ordered them bombed.

486
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: And we don't know how many people died, thousands upon thousands.

487
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: There are pictures you can find, particularly of one man

488
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: burnt alive in a car it was trying to treat himself. Yeah,

489
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: horrible pictures. It was a war crime. We didn't need

490
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: to do it, it was. It was an act of

491
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: military terrorism that George Bush approved because he essentially wanted

492
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: to send the message to Iraq, stop it with the

493
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: fucking invading people stuff. So you can debate whether or

494
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: not you think that was justified based on your own

495
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: personal ethics. But he ordered the bombing of thousands upon

496
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: thousands of fleeing people. Probably no threat to anyone. Yeah.

497
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: An interesting thing about him that people probably don't remember

498
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: now because the media probably doesn't like to bring it

499
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: up that much. But one of the big marks against

500
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: him at the time was that he was a whimp.

501
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: Whimp there like, this guy's a win right headline president

502
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: a wimp. So in order to counteract that, he did,

503
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: you know they people have suggested that that might have

504
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: been why he went so ham in the Operation Desert Storm.

505
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: Weird flex but okay, and why he invaded Panama in

506
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: of December. There there's a pretty interesting documentary about that

507
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: where the US invasion does not come off all that positively. Okay,

508
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: let who among us is not an vaded Panama once? Right?

509
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna throw shade

510
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: on the guy. I did take a river tour on

511
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: the Sarapiki River and was near there, but no. The

512
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: other thing is the coverage is all sort of juxtas,

513
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 1: like they're using Trump to be like, man, remember this,

514
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: remember civil civility, like with our politicians. And I think, right,

515
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: I guess comparatively, but there's a lot of parallels to like,

516
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, Bush pardoned a bunch of people from the

517
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: Iran contrat thing so he wouldn't get in trouble and

518
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: was a major aspect of the War on drugs cracking

519
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: down so much harder, and like kind of had the

520
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: FBI and trap a nineteen year old into selling crack

521
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: near the White House so he could claim that you

522
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: could buy crack near the White House, even though they

523
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: had to go all the way to the other side

524
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: of the city and give the kid directions because he

525
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't know how to get to he didn't know what

526
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: the White House was really If he said oh, I

527
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: think his exacttion sentence was like, oh, is that where

528
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: Carter lives or something? Not Carter Reagan. So it was

529
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: like he was didn't know anything about Like they brought

530
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: him there so they could be like you could even

531
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: buy a crack, you know, in the shade of the

532
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: White House. Yeah, that's pretty messed up. I mean, at

533
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: the same time, having a outwardly respectable president is I

534
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: feel like I was underrating it up to that two

535
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: years ago, Like was he a race baiting asshole at times?

536
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: Of course he was also the head of the c

537
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: i A at a time that America was doing dirt,

538
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 1: But he had the common decency to pretend not to

539
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: be racist or evil in his day to day behavior,

540
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: thus signal to whites across America racism bad. Yeah, and

541
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: I think we don't that is an important thing. Yeah,

542
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: just keep that ship inside what he wants. Well, And

543
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: just like for all the bad things he did, he

544
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: was never someone we were like, oh, this guy might

545
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: just flip out and start dropping nukes, like nobody worried it. Well.

546
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: He one thing he did have a good head was

547
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: foreign policy from being a stable personality. He did things

548
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't agree with, but he was clearly not a madman.

549
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: He was a guy who made really morally questionable decisions,

550
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: but not like nobody was worried that George W. Bush

551
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: was a lunatic h W h W. Even with W Like,

552
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: I never thought he was going to drop the nukes,

553
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: just a stude. He was just a dummy. Well yeah,

554
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean again, you know, he wasn't much for the

555
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: Civil Rights Act of six to four when he was

556
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: running for congressional seed in Texas. And uh, we all

557
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: know that Willie Horton ad kicking off. We love old

558
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: dog whistle racism, you know, caping for Clarence Thomas. A

559
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: lot of parallels I think really would Donald Camping in

560
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: certain aspects. But yeah, I think, yeah, there was there.

561
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: I guess that civility, I guess, but I think I

562
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: think I think we'd look away from like his terrible

563
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: record when it comes to like the AIDS epidemics, like

564
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: that a hundred and forty fifty Americans died under his

565
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: his his and he one of his big innovations was

566
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: banning people with AIDS from entering the country, right which

567
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: further stigmatized the disease. I don't like him, but I agree.

568
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: I think rather than calling it civility, it's what Jack

569
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 1: said is really good, which is just like he didn't

570
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: send overt signals to be racist. And that's a thing.

571
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: It's because like the current administration does all the other

572
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: shady stuff that h W would have done and also

573
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: does that. So like, yeah, I get that there was

574
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 1: some balance. It's like John McCain I have a lot

575
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: of issues with, but he didn't like torture and it

576
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: was better when there was a Republican being like torture

577
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: is bad, like now there's not and that like yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

578
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: Well let's talk about that party, the party of Herbert

579
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: Walker and W and I guess Trump. Yeah, Trump, I

580
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: mean definitely yeah. Yeah, he's the president. His brand is

581
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: probly the leader. Yeah, his brand is most definitely strong.

582
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: I would not buy lack of bulan if he you

583
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: got that diet coke right there, Ma, man, that's his

584
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: lack of going. Hey, he's not wrong about everything. Yeah,

585
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you go to McDonald's won't get

586
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: poisoned either. But we always talk about how the right

587
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: increasingly it's becoming clear that their entire strategy is attack

588
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: the left where the right is weak. So they attack

589
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: their opponent where they are weak. So then when their

590
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: opponent is like, no, you're doing that, they look like

591
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: they're just you know, they're the second person to make

592
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: that accusation in the argument, and therefore it's less effective. Well,

593
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: that appears to be what was going on. We thought

594
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: they were just using claims of voter fraud to enhance

595
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 1: voter suppression, which they were, but it turns out they

596
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: were also engaging in some voter fraud, maybe aggressive voter fraud.

597
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, in North Carolina's ninth congressional district, the Board

598
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: of Elections they refused to certify the results because of

599
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: like they were saying, Okay, there's a lot of evidence

600
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: here that shows that there might have been some really

601
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: fucked up voter manipulation. So a lot of people like

602
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: apparently there were people who were posing to work for

603
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: the campaign or working on behalf of Mark Harris, who

604
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: was the Republican running in that race, uh to go

605
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: to areas that were very likely to vote for his

606
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: Democratic opponent Dan McCready. Now somewhere they think it could

607
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: be and somewhere in the range of hundreds to thousands

608
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: of ballots were taken. Mind you, Harris won by like

609
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: nine five votes, but individuals came to people's homes to

610
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: try and collect or fill in or just completely throw

611
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: out their absentee ballots. And a lot of these people

612
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: were coming, like especially African American areas communities. So what

613
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: they would do is once they in this article they're

614
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: talking about, once those unlawfully collected ballots were then taken,

615
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: they were then allegedly either one filled in for Harris

616
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: if they were collected without a vote in the congressional race,

617
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: or switched to Harris if a voter had previously selected McCready,

618
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: or were simply discarded altogether, according to multiple affidavits. And

619
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: this happened in the eighteen whateens that's close to now

620
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: a couple years. It was just a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,

621
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: And it's just crazy. Yeah. And at the heart of

622
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: this is like this uh, you know, independent contractor who

623
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: also worked with on a few other races for quote

624
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: unquote voter turnout, which I think we can just read

625
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: that as voter suppression. But it's just I mean, the

626
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: level of like to take it that far is really

627
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean, shout out to the desperate, desperate people in

628
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: the GOP. I mean, you gotta give it to him.

629
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: That's more more hustle than we're seeing out any of

630
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: the Democrat Oh yeah, it's like nobody's committing crimes like

631
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, I'm from a crime point of view,

632
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: hard to fault them. I mean, shamelessness is something that

633
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: they are not in short supply. If they have such

634
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: a stockpile of shamelessness and that comes from Iowa, right,

635
00:34:53,520 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: we might that is mined from Steven Steve King's ass right, Uh,

636
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: deep in the dark minds of Steve King's asshole. Yeah,

637
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: they just don't give a fucking I mean, that's that's

638
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: long been a strength of theirs. I mean, going back

639
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: to every election I've paid attention to, it's been like well,

640
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: except for in the case of Mitt Romney, I feel

641
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: like he didn't have the shamelessness and that hurt him. Yeah. Well,

642
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: I guess he didn't look guilty all the time. That's

643
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: the classic Romney, right, But again he had the good

644
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: uh moral bearing to pretend that he was not a

645
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: devious piece of ship. But I think this sort of

646
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: signals that they realized that the clock is ticking, because

647
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is what what what? They had no

648
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: other moves to play except to like just legit steal

649
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: people's ballots now like voter moves. Yeah, but it looks

650
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: like the jerrymandering and a lot of the other voter

651
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: suppression tactics were not working in other districts. So now

652
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,479
Speaker 1: you're starting to like now it's like, oh fuck when

653
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: see like a see this needs to be fought against

654
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: and pursued legally and whatnot. Like I support that a percent,

655
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: but it's a little nice that it's this shameless that

656
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: that like and it's this desperate that like they have

657
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: to be like okay, well, it's not enough to make

658
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: ads attacking, you know, like race baiting ads. We have

659
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: to actually go in and get our fingers dirty, like

660
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: the change of these votes. It's not a good sign

661
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: that they're doing it, but it's not a it's I

662
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: guess of at least it means that they're desperate. Yeah. There.

663
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: I think it's the final thrash with the final thrashings,

664
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: but it's it's sort of comes in line with a

665
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: lot of other activity like this across the country where

666
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: you can you start to see the political like the

667
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: GOP's party completely being to evaporate, and they just resort

668
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: to this kind of heinous How did they get busted

669
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: on this? Okay, so like in North Carolina, like a

670
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: mail and absentee ballot needs to witness signatures on the envelope,

671
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: and just eight people were acted as a witness for

672
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: like a hundred thirty ballots, So they were seeing things

673
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: like this, And also the numbers didn't make sense for

674
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: like the percentage of the electorate he was winning given

675
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: the registration there. So there are a lot of discrepancies

676
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: are like like so every unaffiliated voter voted for him,

677
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: Like they're just sort of things that were like absolutes

678
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: began to emerge. Yeah, when you when you cheat and

679
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: break the law, there are regularities. They're going with a

680
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 1: different technique in Wisconsin, which I think is technically within

681
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: the rules. Yeah, it's not illegal, it's not illegal. They're

682
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: just illegal to change the rules while playing the game,

683
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, it's the best kind of way to

684
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: break the rules, which is you realize there's technically no

685
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: rule against it. Because the people who dreamed up the rules,

686
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: thought no one would be so shameless as to do

687
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: something this file. And now we have to realize, oh,

688
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: I guess we have to define. We have to be like, hey,

689
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: no fucking shameless bullshit. It's the it's the electoral equivalent

690
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: of putting a sign on the salad bar that says, please,

691
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: you're not sneeze. You didn't know if we didn't think

692
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: we needed to say, do not masturbate directly into adjacent

693
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: to but like, so explain, explain what what is happening. Well, again,

694
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: to go back to the North Carolina when they elected

695
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: a Democratic governor in sixteen, during the lame duck session,

696
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: the legislaty, the state legislature said okay, fuck it, like,

697
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: let's burn the motherfucker down and try and recap the

698
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: powers of this incoming governor as much as possible. So

699
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 1: they were. They worked to deprive the governor of authority

700
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: over the state election board, prevented the governor from restoring

701
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: voting rights throughout the state, denied Governor Cooper the ability

702
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: to quote appoint hundreds of employees to the executive branch,

703
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: and an effort to immobilize it and packed state commissions

704
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: with allies and then and then they go on to

705
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: say restructure the judiciary to preclude Cooper from appointing judges.

706
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: So basically be like, yeah, you're governor based your gain, No,

707
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: your governor in name only or jino as you say. Um.

708
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: And so now Wisconsin is kind of doing the same

709
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: thing because now that Scott Walker got his marching orders,

710
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, let's do the old North Carolina two

711
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: steps and just lame duck the funk out of this

712
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: thing and see what we can get away with. And

713
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: they're kind of trying to pass some bills on three

714
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: different fronts. So the first is to basically curb the

715
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: powers of the incoming governor and attorney general, curb voting rights,

716
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: and also like just sort of mess with the state

717
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. So in the state Supreme Court, like they're

718
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: the election for the Supreme Court justice happens during the

719
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: states general election, and they're proposing to like move that

720
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 1: up three months to basically to suppress democratic turnout because

721
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: they're like, well, if it's during the general, we're gonna

722
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: get blown out because at participations too high. So maybe

723
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: we can just make this a weird special election that

724
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: people will forget and we can try and rebalance the court.

725
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: There's also another one to try and cut down early

726
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: voting as much as possible. I think they get six

727
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: weeks or something in Wisconsin, like up until six weeks

728
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: before election day you can begin voting. They want to

729
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: cut that to like two again because there was record turnout. Uh.

730
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: And then another one, just these other bills to try

731
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: and take away the power from the incoming attorney general

732
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: and the governor by giving more power to the Republican

733
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: controlled state legislature. So it's all just a lot of like, Okay,

734
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 1: how can we just sort of move these pieces around

735
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: so you you have some powers, but we'll also it

736
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: makes sure it's it's it is a it is what

737
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: you see being done in uh, what we used to

738
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: call banana republics, Like it's it's for the gap what

739
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: we used to do to them. Actually, So I guess

740
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: it is probably a lot of the same people strategizing

741
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: this as who you know did the similar things, but

742
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: like it's the kind of thing that should be illegal,

743
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: but nobody thought we had to make loss about fantastic

744
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: would a great? Would a great? Like the after rewriting

745
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: the Constitution, the president can't do crimes. Bro. Yeah, yeah,

746
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: that's that one. Have been in there. But what if

747
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: he gives himself a free pass though, I mean he

748
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: should get away with it then right right, It's like

749
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: it's like we have like a genie asking genie for

750
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: unlimited wishes. Basically like, ah, in order to make stuff

751
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: right with Carter, we should retroactively add of the Constitution

752
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 1: the one business a president can own is a peanut

753
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: peanut farm, right, make that work. We'll call it the

754
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: Sorry Carter, Amen, that was really or like, don't if

755
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: or if like the president adds cool things to the

756
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: White House, don't just rip them off, like when Reagan

757
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: ripped off the solar panels that Carter put on. This

758
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: second he came spiteful, like, fucking solar power. You're hippie.

759
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan and this mother get them ships off. Such

760
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: gross people. So they made Carter. They didn't make Carter.

761
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: But the emoluments clause are out of respect and sensitivity

762
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: for the emoluments clause, Carter gave up his highly successful

763
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: peanut farm that was his, like family's business, and couldn't

764
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: he put in a trust or something. So he can't

765
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: come back to I think Billy pirately got it? Uh up, brothers.

766
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 1: I saw a bottle of Billy beer once, and billy beer.

767
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: You don't know what Billy Beans Carter, Jimmy Carter's brother,

768
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Billy the funk up c had a beer for a

769
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: little while. It was called Billy beer. Oh it's jilly.

770
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: Oh No, what a name too? What's your idea? I

771
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: don't know billy beer? How about after me? Because I

772
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: like beer and I'm Billy again strong branding Billy beer.

773
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: It's a it's amazing that used to be like people

774
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: were like, that's a little bit shady that the president's

775
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: brothers using his fame to get a beer. And alright,

776
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: we're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back,

777
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: m And we're back and miles. Scientists are working on

778
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: a way to determine what the most influential film director

779
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: and actors are and their methodology is it confused the

780
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: hell out of me, but their results seem pretty spot on. Yeah,

781
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: because they're using rather than like box office numbers and reviews,

782
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: which are too subjective, they're trying to use complex network

783
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: so like, really you analyzing the data and using a

784
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: film as a node and any connections to other films

785
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 1: sort of increases it's like value to I guess film

786
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: in general. So like as an influence on other films,

787
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: is yeah, exactly, or if it's referenced so as these

788
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: So it's a group of Italian scientists. Uh, and they're

789
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 1: using like a similar methodology that they used to sort

790
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: of like track the impact of like like scientific studies.

791
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: So they're just applying this now to films, and so

792
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: as they say, they say, we propose an alternative method

793
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: to box office takings and reviews for analyzing the success

794
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: of a film. We've developed an algorithm that uses references

795
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: between movies as a measure for success, and which can

796
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: also be used to evaluate the career of directors, actors,

797
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: and actresses by considering their participation in top scoring movies. Okay,

798
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: so based on that, that's actually also how Google works, right,

799
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: That is they they were like basically just trying to

800
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: classify different academic papers on a algorithmic network as a

801
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: graduate project and eventually invented Google. Right. Well, see that

802
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: so much savior in origin story than Facebook, I know, right,

803
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: Just Mark Zuckerberg was creeping on ladies in his class.

804
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: So when you look at it, first of all, none

805
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: of these when they when they go to the top

806
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty films, none of the films were released before or

807
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: after ninety seven, which and they and they even acknowledge

808
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: the bias that a it's biased towards Western films because

809
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: they're using a lot of the d DA that they

810
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: got from IMDb, uh and so, and also that it's

811
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: definitely more male biased, uh and that it also there's

812
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: a bias towards older films because they've been around longer

813
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: and henceforth can have more influence on the movies we've

814
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: see now. So it's really a better tale of like

815
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: which movies from the sixties and seventies were most Yeah,

816
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean all the way back still me yeah, yeah,

817
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: And I think yeah, if you look at I mean,

818
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: I think, if you want to have box office and

819
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: like with inflation, I think Gone with the Wind would

820
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: be the top whatever. But it doesn't even it's not

821
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: in the top ten. So the top ten from number

822
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: one to ten is Wizard of Oz, Star Wars Episode four, Psycho,

823
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: King Kong two thousand one, Metropolis, Citizen Kane, Birth of

824
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: a Nation, Frankenstein, and snow quite that actually makes sense

825
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: if yeah, yeah, because those are all like you've seen

826
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: those quoted so frequently throughout your life, whether it's in

827
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: a you know, Looney Tunes cartoon or in another film,

828
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: right that it's just become like a part of the

829
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: filmic language. That's their cultural wallpaper. And so yeah, when

830
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: they did the same process through directors, they found that,

831
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: like the most influenial director was who's the guy who

832
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: directed Gone with the Wind, George Kuker or something, uh,

833
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: and then Victor Fleming and Alfred Hitchcock. And then so

834
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: they're saying, like, oh, well, if Kuger and Fleming they

835
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: probably got there because it Gone with the Wind, and

836
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: then other people that were credited for like with The

837
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Wizard of Like. So they basically were like, hold on,

838
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: we gotta figure this out because this isn't quite the

839
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: best way to do it for directors. So then they

840
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: created a different metric for directors and actors, which is

841
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: a little more interesting. So they did more of a

842
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: what they call a metal ranking system like the Olympics.

843
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: So you get a gold point for each film that

844
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: reached the top five percent of influence in the year.

845
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: It was released a silver for it was the five

846
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: to ten percent, and a bronze if it was in

847
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: the ten to ranking. So with that in mind, the

848
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: top three directors in order. Number one goes to Hitchcock Spielberg,

849
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: then Brian de Palma, which I mean, I guess he

850
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: has like the kind of like movies that people have

851
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: the posters up in their in their rooms, right, Scarface

852
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: and The Untouchables despite being like it was a hit

853
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: movie and it wasn't like that well recarried by critics.

854
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: But uh, you know that quote from Battleship Tempkin of

855
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: the baby carriage going down the stairs at the train

856
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: station has been in just everything. Oh, the naked gun

857
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: one is my favorite, right, the naked gun one is great,

858
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: but everybody references the most racist one. They had the

859
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: fucking gardener chasing after his lawnmower going down the stairs.

860
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: That didn't age well. I mean he also directed Snake

861
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: Eyes with Nicholas Cage. I'm sure that had probably there. Um.

862
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: And then when you go to actors, it goes Samuel L. Jackson,

863
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: Clint Eastwood, Tom Cruise. Okay, because you know, Samuel Jackson

864
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: is like one of the like if you count the movies.

865
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: He's like the highest grossing actor of all time when

866
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: you look at the film he's been really smart about

867
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: he was in three Star Wars movies. You're right, right?

868
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: Um uh. And then when you go to actresses Lois

869
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: Maxwell who played Moneypenny in the early James Bond films,

870
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: Carrie Fisher and Maureen O'Sullivan that all wait, which one

871
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 1: was Marino Sullivan? And I don't know, Yeah, Carrie Fisher

872
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 1: makes sense what with the Star Wars of it All

873
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: and Blues brothers Marino Sullivan from Hannah and Her Sisters

874
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: or Tarzan Okay, I guess Solms. I don't know. I'm

875
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm horribly ignorant when it comes to work. So I'm

876
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: sure someone will let us know why she would be

877
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: up there. Nicolas Cage, Nicolas Cage. I don't have the

878
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: full list, but I'm sure he'd probably be just in

879
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: the top two. I don't know. Actually I'd be surprised

880
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 1: if he wasn't in the top like thirty, because he's

881
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: also not He's in films that do on the box office,

882
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: but not necessarily ones that like are good, you know

883
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: what I mean, like The Rock, you know, like he's

884
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: like okay, or like gone in sixties seconds or national

885
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: treasures like that talking to here because oh I did

886
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: a Bechdel cast on it. I mean, I mean, look,

887
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: the rock is what, you know what. It technically passed

888
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: and we had to change the rules because it was

889
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: like the one time two women talked about each other.

890
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 1: It was in reference to whether or not Jade, Sean

891
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: Connery's daughter felt safe talking to him when they met

892
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: up at that park. So it was technically a conversation

893
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: that was had to do with a man. So even

894
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: though it was like, hey, are you okay, I was like,

895
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: I think it passed, and we had a hard time

896
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: being like, yeah, we can't let this thing past. I

897
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: think it's a one of the seminal feminist works. I mean,

898
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: it was just it was just guy porn. It's like

899
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: sort of it's the way that it socializes young boys

900
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, fucking this ship is tight. Yeah,

901
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about one of our heroes from

902
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: the early days of this podcast, mile Ionopolis. We talk

903
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: about George H. W. Bush again. Now he's he's in

904
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, but Milo is uh, you know,

905
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: he has a whole wing named for him of just faded.

906
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: All right, stars lives have just crashed into the side

907
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: of a mountain. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, he he

908
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: wrote his Nazi Way for a little bit, uh, and

909
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: you know that got a lot of people interested, I guess,

910
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: but I think this is a good argument for d platforming.

911
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 1: Motherfucker's like this because he took a series of els

912
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: over the last eighteen months. He had a book deal

913
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: blow up that didn't go down, He got dumped by

914
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: the Mercers and bright Bart, he got kicked off Twitter.

915
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: It was the mercer's four and so now the Guardians

916
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: just dumped a bunch of documents that just outlines exactly

917
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: what his tab is right now. Uh. And they show

918
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: as of April eighteen, Unapolis owed one point six million

919
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: dollars to his own company, four k to the Mercers,

920
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty three thousand to his former lawyers, seventy

921
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: six thousand of former collaborator and Bright Bart writer Alum Bokhari,

922
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand to the luxury jewelry brand r t A.

923
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 1: At least he was investing his money. Well, yeah, yeah.

924
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: One of the things that also revealed is that like

925
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: he paid other people entirely to write his book pretty much,

926
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: including Fox Day, Theodore Beale, the al right shitty fantasy

927
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: offer he is, which I I he's just such a grifter.

928
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad it all blew up because he's a bad grifter.

929
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's terrible. And like again, this weird attempt

930
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: at mainstreaming his Nazi ship. It came with the price,

931
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: and then he was like telling people, So he tried

932
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: to go on tour with Ann Coulter right after the

933
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: money dried up, like let's go to Australia, and the

934
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: Australian governments like, no, might can't have you in here,

935
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: and like he basically were like, alright, shit, I guess

936
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: they reached their racist quota over here, so we can't enter.

937
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: And then he was like okay, fine, plan b I'll

938
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: join Tommy Robinson and chinless Gavin McGinness to go down

939
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: there in again in mcchinless. Yeah, same same response. The

940
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: Ozzies were like, sorry, mine, but enough of you here,

941
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: Like he's just sorry, not allowed in the country. So

942
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: his all of his avenues for you know, income have

943
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: dried the funk up. And then when The Guardian reached

944
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: out to comment, they're like, yeah, so you're probably some

945
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: pretty pretty bad shape. He's like, oh, yeah, well, I

946
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: know that's all a fake news. I'm actually I'm making

947
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: I think, like forty K a month right now. So

948
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be fine. It's got off of what

949
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: he's like, bad connection, bad connection, prank caller, prank caller. Yeah,

950
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: any any profile that you read of him is pretty

951
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: revealing that he's just a grifter. Yeah, just a grifter

952
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: who is barely keeping it together, and you know, was

953
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: trying to juggle all these different stories. But yeah, he

954
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,959
Speaker 1: wasn't very good at it. Unfortunately, neither is the guy

955
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: who managed to grift his way into the White House currently.

956
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: So it's I think he was, you know, one of

957
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,959
Speaker 1: those people who had that false hope that oh well,

958
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,959
Speaker 1: if he can just bullshit his way into the most

959
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: powerful position in the country, then why shouldn't I be

960
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: able to Well, you know, that's there's clearly a market

961
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: to be a racist piece of it. Provocateur is the term, right,

962
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm mispronounced racist piece of ship. How is

963
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: it's called provocate provocateur? I think it's French, right, And

964
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: clearly I think you know a lot of people see

965
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: that wave because you see all these like fake like

966
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: these people who suddenly just become these like wild far

967
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: right figures some billionaires money behind them, right, Like it's

968
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: it's almost never someone who just actually arises up of

969
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: their own merits, Like I mean, yeah, it never is

970
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: pretty much. I blame Puck from the Real world for

971
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: all of this. Yeah, he was so popular being a villain,

972
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: and people are like, yo, that's the wave for this

973
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: reality ship. Like this Puck guy was terrible and he

974
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: got to the top and he will be president in right, Sadly,

975
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: I'll vote for Puck. Well, we're all going to vote

976
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: for Puck. Yeah, we'll vote for Puck from the San

977
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: Francisco real world. That guy taught me how to fire

978
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: a six not rocket. That's that's actually his his campaign motto.

979
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: That's what they're putting on the hats, six knock rockets bread.

980
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: And finally, there's a story coming out of Europe that

981
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: just gave me an idea that I think we should steal.

982
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: Didn't give me an idea, but it is because I

983
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: have some bad news. Okay, we're we're well on our

984
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: way to uh No. So there's this city Matera in

985
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: the south of Italy that was named the two thousand

986
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: nineteen Capital of Culture of the European Union because it

987
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: has all these like ancient caves that people lived in

988
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: and that they basically turned into tourist attractions for people

989
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: to like come and you know, see them. They're basically

990
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: putting something on the map that wasn't well known or

991
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: widely visited prior to that. And America's big, and there

992
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: are plenty of like really interesting small towns and really

993
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: interesting like little corners of the country that either have

994
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: amazing culture or you know, have amazing histories. Like we

995
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 1: have some of the best archaeological creations from the Native

996
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: Americans in St. Louis, And they had to stop a

997
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: construction project like mid Stride to keep someone from building

998
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: a parking lot on top of it. The mounds. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

999
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: Monks Mound is like one of the It should rival

1000
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: the Great Pyramid in Egypt, but it is just mostly ignored.

1001
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: They are starting to like give it some looks and

1002
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: I think they built a museum next to it once

1003
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: someone decided to stop the parking lot. Yeah, there's totally

1004
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: a museum. I grew up in St. Louis for a

1005
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: little while. Yeah, yeah, there's a museum there. It's pretty cool,

1006
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: cool stuff. Well, you know, a shame that we live

1007
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: in a country who actively hates history. So did you

1008
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: mean there's a study about how the sort of bachelor's

1009
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: degree major for history has been on a fucking nose

1010
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: dive a couple of years because we were just like

1011
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: fucking fun history man, I didn't, you know, why not

1012
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: I have a useful degree at least in history. For nothing,

1013
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: I have a useful degree and dropping out of college.

1014
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: There you go, Kanye West, I see you college dropout? Yeah,

1015
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: well I think I mean yeah, because there's so many

1016
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: things even in l A. You realize, like that thing

1017
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: where they did the chase and terminator to the thing

1018
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: we call a river but it's not yeah, it's where

1019
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: they didn't chase. There was like even like right by

1020
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: my house that there's a place called Campbell Day Kawanga,

1021
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: which essentially ended like the Mexican American War, like that

1022
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: was signed like down the street from my house, and

1023
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: I never knew. And there's just so many things like

1024
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: all over that you really don't realize because you're like,

1025
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: what's that old weird thing that has a gate around.

1026
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: You know what i'd suggest for a capital of culture.

1027
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: Have you guys ever heard of Shingletown, California. No, it's

1028
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,960

1030
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,160

Speaker 1: but everyone has shingles. Everyone does have shingles and a

1033
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,600
