Speaker 1: Kyle Air. Thank you, thank you. You know it's Christie.

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm a Gucci Maine. That's art. That name is art. Yeah,

9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I would expect no less from that.

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: I would be so happy that I will wouldn't do

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: anything the rest of that day. I've done, I've done

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: some stuff that he persists. The hustle. You gotta admire it.

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: How is your week? How is that Super Bowl for you? Kyle?

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: Oh it's bad, you know, as far as like one

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: isolated game. I'm Chiefs fans. Remember it was fun to

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 1: answer the question does football have to be a team sport?

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: We all got to answer it, and it turns out, yeah,

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: you need a team because can one man do it? No?

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Will that stop him from trying? Absolutely not. Man. That

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: was like as bad as that game was for the Chiefs,

21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: like just some of the throws he was making, uh

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes like as he was like there there was

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: one throw. You know, he was just running around for

24
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: his life behind the line of scrimmage. But he was

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: like making throws like with his head like almost on

26
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: the greatest ever seen. And it sounds dumb to be like,

27
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: what a great incomplete but had he had that were dropped,

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: that's what the most always straining parts. Hit a man

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: in the face mask in the end zone while throwing

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: the ball while he's parallel to the ground. Had he

31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: caught that, the highlights still would have kind of disappeared

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: because they lost. But I don't think it's hyperbole for

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: me to say that might been the greatest throw I've

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. And it doesn't matter because

35
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: you know how like you always hear like like the

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: best This the funniest thing that's ever been said was

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: probably not during a stand up show. The greatest basketball

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: shot that's ever been made was probably a backyard horse shot.

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: None of us saw that was the greatest throw I've

40
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life, and it got dropped. It

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: hit a dude in the face, It was hit a

42
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: guy in the face, hitting people in the hands and

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: the face mask and they were dropping it. It is

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: like if all of the catchable balls he threw had

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: been caught, I don't know that you guys would have

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: lost the game. Maybe goes in a different path. Too

47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: many things went wrong to say that, Like, there were

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: a lot of bad penalties that I disagreed with for

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: the first quarter and a half, but then they did

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: not have an offensive line, which you need, you need. Yeah,

51
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: it felt like have you ever played a video game

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: against someone who knew the buttons right? This is like

53
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: if I've never played Madden, but I picked the best team,

54
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some weird plays by just hitting you

55
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean? What's going on? That's kind of

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: what it felt like, and it was not fun to watch,

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: but I'm still you try and keep things in perspective.

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: Sports fandom is such a bizarre thing if you think

59
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: about it, like it's a reality show. I've been watching

60
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: my whole life, and they finally rewarded my character last

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: year after thirty years of them not you know, Susan

62
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Lucci Emmy win. It felt more like the Peter Otool

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Oscar win where we were a hundred and forty years

64
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: in and they were like, he might not be here

65
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: next year, and so this is I still have to

66
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: be like I could. I can't believe that guy's the

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: quarterback of the team I watched. He's the most fun.

68
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City has never had the most fun player in

69
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: any sport. Now they have Steph Curry, which is like

70
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: he's probably the best, and he's by far the most fun. Yeah. Absolutely,

71
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: So I just gotta be happy to be there. I'm

72
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: just I am tired of Tom Brady and that's not

73
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: even his fault, well it is, but a negative thing

74
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: to him. What is something you think is underrated? Okay? Good?

75
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Both of these are in honor of the twenty one

76
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: anniversary of Jim Varney's death. I'm gonna say underrated, Ernest

77
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: scared stupid, Okay, overrated. Ernest saves Christmas, and I love

78
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: Christmas and Christmas movies, but I don't know, it's not

79
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I think I think, honestly, maybe Earnest Goes to Jail

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: would be the my favorite. But Christmas gets a lot

81
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: of shine, and I feel like Halloween really is earnest

82
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: true holiday, and that's scared stupid as a Halloween Philip

83
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: that's the one, like the Pumpkin cover. I just know

84
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: every Earnest film just had Jim Varney just given that

85
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: full like I grin. I can't imagine um how delicately

86
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: they handled the carceol system of the United States in

87
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: their analysis to the Ernest Goes to Jail prism from

88
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: the year. This is why I think it needs more

89
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: credit because Ernest, across all of his properties, you would

90
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: think would would go a little bit more racist, and

91
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't like at any point. No, yeah, that is true.

92
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: I feel like that was the thing that my first

93
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: assumption about a like Earnest thing because I'm like, hey,

94
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, you talk like the scary people from the

95
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: movies my grandpa shows me right right, and then you're like,

96
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: oh wait these are more kid friend, then you really

97
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: like he's like he was like a good guy, right, Yeah,

98
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: he's a really he was a very good guy. Yeah,

99
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: and like pretty diverse casting and yeah, he just never

100
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: goes this like sort of ignorant hillbilly route that he

101
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: could have. Uh but yeah, all right, pee man, Yeah

102
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: I missed. That's an amazing story that that started as

103
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: a radio advertisement and then yeah, it's really crazy is

104
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: he He was like the local commercial guy. It seemed like,

105
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: so he was advertising like a million different places, like

106
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: in these small towns because you're just like, oh, you

107
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: want a commercial, get Earnest. He's the commercial guys. So

108
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: you know you could be like dueling pizza restaurants have

109
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: the same guy in their commercial essentially because he just

110
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: had such a good idea, I should I should do

111
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: this for the neighborhood restaurants, commercial bucks, just some food. Yeah.

112
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: I wonder like if there's a someone has an archive

113
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: of the Jim Varney local adsumentary that needs to be

114
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: made there on a Latimore on YouTube on YouTube, okay,

115
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: because I'm curiously see like what because it's such a

116
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: specific flavor, because like the whole hey vern thing was

117
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: him breaking the fourth wall? Wasn't it like about like

118
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: Verne was the person on the other side of the camera,

119
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: wasn't it Verne was all of us smiles. Oh my,

120
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: Verne is like really stupid, Like he's way dumber than Earnest.

121
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, as a kid, you're like, I guess I'm verned,

122
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm burned, I'm Verne. Was Verne? Did we ever meet

123
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: Verne in the films. I mean you see his hands

124
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: and stuff like he you know, he's like Claw from

125
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Inspector Gadget. It's like a very dumb version of Claw,

126
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Verne, Yeah, he trademarked that thing. Yeah,

127
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: shout out to him. Uh and and the Earnest films,

128
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: which none of which I saw for some reason that

129
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: missed me. Um So I need to I need to

130
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: do my work. I'm yeah, I'm interious to see because

131
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: it's funny that I know. The last thing, the last

132
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Jim Varney thing I sought out to watch was the

133
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Beverly Hill Billies. Right, it was like two years ago.

134
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people's like introduction to him and then

135
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, he's got all these other right, yeah,

136
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: but in the South, you know, it was a superstar

137
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: for him. He's like Killer Bees. Do you guys know

138
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: that comedian? Oh no, I thought you were talking about

139
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the actual phenomenon of Southern comedian name Killer Bees. And

140
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: his tagline is save up, you better save up. It

141
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: is just like solid conservative financial advice pretty much. Wait,

142
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: what did Killer Bees look like? Did he dress like him? Like?

143
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: He had to have dressed in black and yellow? Right? No,

144
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: he just looks like an old white guy. I don't know,

145
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: he's really funny. I can't. I didn't. Killer Bees is

146
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: just the comedian's name. Yeah, it's pretty tight, right, Like

147
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: he's not a rapper, he's b E A Z Killer Bees. Okay,

148
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's that is like one of those nicknames

149
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: that like, yeah, that that's his name is like bees,

150
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: his last name is Bees something. They're like, hey, it's

151
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: killer Bees. Hey it's true. At S. Beasley Jr. Just

152
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: started killing so hard people started calling killer Bees. Oh yeah, yeah,

153
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: that dude crushes. Yeah. They say it stemmed from an

154
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: incident in his childhood where a friend went into anaphylactic

155
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: shock after a series of beastings. Beasley then threw his

156
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: epinephrin pen into the river. Uh, and then his friend died,

157
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: giving him the name Killer Bees. Up. I'll leeg you.

158
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: I just made that up on a joke podcast. Okay.

159
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: That was so it was, Oh, that's amazing for anybody who,

160
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: like I was confused why they thought they could make

161
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: a TV show out of the Geiko cave Man. They

162
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: trying to recreate the magic of earnest, you know, just

163
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: that that's but that's the next level. That's the next

164
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: level talent. I mean it's also hot. Kind of a

165
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: hot young dude. Uh back in the day, like obviously, Oh,

166
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: I think he's very attractive. Oh yeah, when he was unverned,

167
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, Jim Varney, Yeah, exactly what I said. Yeah,

168
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: there's a young there's a picture of him as a

169
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: young man, just like, you know, making love to the camera,

170
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: uh and through his eye, not literally, just like you know,

171
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: he's given the camera look. That's like, damn. When I

172
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: knew was vern were a yeah, I wish we were burned.

173
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: Vern Verne always kept his hands visible, so we know

174
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: he wasn't touching. Yeah, we were talking about Mike, but

175
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: we were talking about the fact that the Wiggles keep

176
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: give the thumbs up and all their pictures because they

177
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: want uh people, the parents to know that their hands

178
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: are not up to any shenanigans. They're not doing anything,

179
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: which is important. Yeah, good policy. Winger around children constantly

180
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: for a living, right and then just any and like

181
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: and just there will always anything that could look improper untoward.

182
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: You never want to be in a situation where you're like, no,

183
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: I I just had my hand in my pocket and

184
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: they're like, we don't know, buddy, yeah, and you're like, okay,

185
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: this is why I do this all the time. Now.

186
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: It's always thumbs up, Like, but what's in their palms? Yeah? Exactly?

187
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? So I I think?

188
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: I I asked this morning while I was eating breakfast.

189
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: I asked my girlfriend both underrated and what are things

190
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I think are underrating? Overrated? She goes, oh, you think

191
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: everything's overrated? And I was like, okay, what's something I

192
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: think I was underrated? She goes, oh, you think everything

193
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: is underrated. It's like, I can't be both. And then

194
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: I was like, give me a specific example of either.

195
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: She goes, I can't think of any and I was like,

196
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: this sounds like a youth thing. That sounds like something

197
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: that projecting on to me. No details, But I think

198
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: comedy acting is so underrated, yes, actual art form. I

199
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: think that acting in a comedy is hard, and I

200
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: think it is underrated because people are like, look at

201
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: the funny person being funny, I think, and I will

202
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: I say to this day often. Rachel McAdams deserved an

203
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: OSCAR nomination for Mean Girls, and there are ten equivalent

204
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: performances every ten years in comedy that no one else

205
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: could do. It's so funny too, because it's it's even

206
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: the thing that actors acknowledge is harder than the thing

207
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: they're constantly like lauded for. You know, when people are like,

208
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: oh my god, the dramatic forms like I'm gonna be

209
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: honest with do comedy is way harder than It's so

210
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: much harder to be funny than it is to pretend

211
00:12:53,559 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: to be Lyndon Johnson or whatever. It's actually hard to

212
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: pretend to be Lyndon Johnson and that not be funny.

213
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: As since he was about the new movie Lyndon b laughing,

214
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: he did use his aids as a pis screens. Yeah,

215
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: just like those calls. I mean, how do you do

216
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: with a straight faced say bung hole like he does,

217
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: and like try and while being sworn in? Had that

218
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: delivered while being sworn in with Jackie standing right there,

219
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: bung hole. I'm just saying it's a funny word. Faithfully

220
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: execute the duties of this office upon my bung hole

221
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: has this entire suit pulled up over the top of

222
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: his head like Beavis Cornelio. Cornelio pulled up over his head.

223
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: That dude is one of my Like, uh, Daniel O'Brien

224
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: from Cracked and now last week Tonight used to uh

225
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: talk about like just there's all these wild stories behind

226
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: the scenes. He would make reporters do interviews with him

227
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: while he was pooping on the toilet, like because it

228
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: was like a power move of something sort um. He

229
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: would show people his what he called big jumbo because

230
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I guess he had a big a big penis. He

231
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: exposed himself a lot to people. Yeah, tons, Uh what

232
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: am I? Why am I surprised at someone who runs

233
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: the United States isn't also flashing their dick. Imagine running

234
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: a country because a guy died and not having a

235
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: weird ego exactly and then being like, well he left

236
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: me with a fucking mess up a country right now? Well,

237
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's assuming that he had nothing to do

238
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: with it, which now you've seen the picture. Why was

239
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: he ever smiling? Um? The he's like looking at looking

240
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: over JFK Like, uh, but sorry, I distracted from your point.

241
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: I think is a really good one. The like it's

242
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: definitely harder to pull off and like in the case

243
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: of Rachel McAdams, like that is a more lasting performance

244
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: than any dramatic performance from that year, like culturally impactful.

245
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Uh sorry, my son is Ramsey or take he's He's

246
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: been honestly laying on the ground and like stage yawning

247
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: during like every time I talk just being oh man, um,

248
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: oh man, you're on that one again. But it's all

249
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: just about how like that's a youth like the audience

250
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: thing wanting to feel when when they won't nominate any

251
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: comedy movies for Oscars, that's just because the Academy voters

252
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: watching it want to feel like they're doing something serious

253
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: and therefore like it's them. It's it has nothing to

254
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: do with like the actual power or cultural impact or

255
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: feels like uh jet, you're right, it is jealousy. I

256
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: will say that I don't I don't know what comedies

257
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: came out the year Manchester by the Sea came out,

258
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: but I bet they're a bunch of comedians who are

259
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: good at being funny and can look like sad sex

260
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: as ship and so I think that I Nope, I

261
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: don't know much about Casey Affleck. I don't care to

262
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: learn anything more about him, and I think he's been

263
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: better in other movies. But that movie was just a

264
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: guy being sad, and he it's and his version of

265
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: sad was being quiet, and so he want to Oscar

266
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: because uh cinematographer was good at making him look sad. Yeah, yeah,

267
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: give me, give me Bill Murray and groundhog Day, which

268
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: is comedic and dramatic. Give me Rachel McAdams and Mean Girls.

269
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: Give me everyone in Bridesmaids. I don't know, Will Ferrell

270
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: probably should have want to Oscar Francor Man. We're still

271
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: talking about it, and no one else could have done

272
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: it like that. It's people just don't value it as

273
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: as an art form. But then if they when they

274
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: try and do it, they look a fool or they're

275
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: just yeahs like using a baseball glove for cleanup, Like

276
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: I'll take that over Manchruster by the city. Yeah, And

277
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's you know, like they they're like

278
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: you're saying, Jack, Like they can't really acknowledge how significant

279
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: comedy is to culture and like how how much of

280
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: a lasting impression that leaves on the audience, Like more

281
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: people quote you know, not that it's I'm saying this

282
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: needs to get an academy where, but more people will

283
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: quote dumb and dumber then fucking saving Private Ryan or

284
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: something like that. Like there's there's something about comedy that,

285
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: like it really uplifts us and like we can draw

286
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: upon something positive just like with a recollection of it.

287
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: And granted, of course, like dramatic acting is an art

288
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: form in and of itself as well, but art form right,

289
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: and it's also wild. Yeah, Like so to not hold

290
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: them up and be able to say, like it's like

291
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the Grammys saying like the only music is classical music. Yeah, yeah, exactly, No,

292
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: you idiot, what are you talking about? Like people turn

293
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: up to all this other I don't know if we

294
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: need to just do like oscars need to do what

295
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: the Golden Globes do. But then generally the Golden Globes

296
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: gives the best comedic or musical performance to whatever is

297
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: the most dramatic thing that pretends to be a comedy

298
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah yeah, the most dramatic movie that also

299
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: made us laugh this year. I also wonder if there's

300
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: something changing because like, uh not, to keep harkening back

301
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: to Cracked, I have cracked on my brain. But the

302
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: first podcast we did on for the Cracked podcast was

303
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: about like how um comedy like ages poorly compared to drama,

304
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: and like old comedy movies aren't really funny anymore, except

305
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: for like the Marx Brothers, because they went town to

306
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: town and just like honed these jokes that were like funny,

307
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: irrelevant of what town they were doing it in. Um.

308
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: I I just wonder if, like now, it seems like

309
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: things have, like we still think Anchorman is funny. I

310
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: don't know, you guys are younger than me, but like

311
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: it seems like people fewer I think. I do think

312
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: that fewer comedies hold up over long term than dramas

313
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: that do. And I think even fewer dramas hold up

314
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: than like an action like die Hard is so old

315
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: at this point by movie standards and feels like a

316
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: movie that could have come out a year ago, but

317
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: comedies from that year. There's like a Naked Gun sequel,

318
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: which has probably kind of funny, but doesn't. I just

319
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't hold up as much as these

320
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: other things. So it seems to be like this, the

321
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: couple of comedies for most years that hold up, whether

322
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: it's like Groundhog Day or Airplane or movies like that

323
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: that they'll hold up for a while, but I kind

324
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: of think blockbusters tend to hold up the best. We

325
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: still watch Jurassic Park, you know, everything that is an

326
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: avatar will still go back and watch Jaws. I think

327
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: is often cited as one of the movies that holds

328
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: up the best, and that's a whole Another gripe that

329
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: I have is, uh, you know who, we don't acknowledge

330
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: that these movies that influence ulture more than anything else

331
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: should get any sort of nomination for this stuff, let

332
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: alone stunt people in movies, let alone acknowledging that computers

333
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: helped make movies. Now, Academy Awards could be so much

334
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: more fun. Yeah, it feels like the Major League Baseball

335
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: of of of Awards comind where like the MTV Movie

336
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Awards got it right where they would get super specifically

337
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: like wow, this fucking fight scene and then it actually

338
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: gave you something like really, you're like actually comparing like

339
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: from Blade two. I'm like, okay, let's like watch this

340
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: fight scene and trying to even I remember watching the

341
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: ship and like talking to my friends like you really

342
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: thought that was better from Matrix? Okay? What okay, Like

343
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: just make some more awards. I don't know what John

344
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: Wick getting nominated for nothing. We all talked about it

345
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: for four years, right, yeah, exactly, Yeah, But I guess

346
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: that's where it's like, what, Yeah, I wonder if if

347
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: the Academy can take itself a little less seriously and

348
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: understand that, like film itself is something much larger than

349
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: like the people who call themselves the Academy can take

350
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: themselves less seriously. It's you're talking about a bunch of

351
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: people who work in something they call the industry, and

352
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: I say they I'm part of that the industry. Maybe

353
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: doctors should be the industry that poison our brains, like

354
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: you think, because like also too, you look at a

355
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: movie like Crash, that one best picture in two thousand six,

356
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: that motherfucker doesn't hold up at of course. I mean

357
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: for people who had half a brain in two thousand six,

358
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: you're like, are y'all seeing this? And then that you're like, okay,

359
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: so white people are in charge of everything, and like

360
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: it was hitting a little ally cord. So people like, oh,

361
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: they're so good, it's so good, so good. Yeah, yeah,

362
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: they would never make that mistake again two years ago

363
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: with Green Book. I mean, how I would be so

364
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: much more Like they keep talking about like people aren't

365
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: as interested in the oscars anymore. Like if they just

366
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: did an award that was the best uh special effect

367
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: in movie, in any movie, and you just got to

368
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: see like how they did it, I would love that.

369
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: That would be so fun, like because they do that

370
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: with like they have the like behind the scenes costuming

371
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: and like all these things they do to honor those arts.

372
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: But like I don't know that would be behind the

373
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: scene because you know what I feel. I feel like

374
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: we lost like we sort of lost the magic of

375
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: filmmaking too, because we don't see as much behind the

376
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: scenes stuff. I remember, like on HBO, part of the

377
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: whole marketing thing would be a fifteen minute behind inside

378
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: look at the making of a film that was coming

379
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: out and you get to see like them between takes,

380
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: the technology being used in that. For me as a child,

381
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: like anything that was behind the scenes anything always had

382
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: my imagination going even further because I'm like, oh, wow,

383
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: like this is how you do it. These are jobs

384
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: you could have this, that and the other. And I

385
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: think because like with that content being less there, it's

386
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: like we're just focusing like the actors more and really think,

387
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: like the one thing you do is be pretty in

388
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: front of camera and talk like the other. You always

389
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: hear stories about how those behind the scenes are what

390
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: prompted so and so to become a filmmaker or so

391
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: and so to get every time you ever see any

392
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: visual effects person there, Like, I saw a ten minute

393
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: behind the scenes about how a head exploded an evil

394
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: dead and I wanted to do this and now I'm

395
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: and I'm that's beautiful. The credits are so long, right, yeah,

396
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: the credits are so long. All right, let's take a

397
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: quick break and we will be right back. And we're back.

398
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat

404
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: I've been up to nothing. Um. Just like everybody else,

405
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: I my main like story arc over the past ten

406
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: months or whatever. We UM. I had a podcast with

407
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: my friends Molly and Emily, and since we ended that podcast,

408
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: I have just been doing nothing. I know. Boo yes

409
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: boother we ended it the podcast was yea uh, but

410
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: I've been mostly sitting in my backyard with my kids

411
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: while my neighbors um have been playing the Billy Jewel

412
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: album The Stranger, and it's it's taken up my entire

413
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: brain for that. However, Lost for a while has Yeah,

414
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: it's started in March, and it's at least once a week,

415
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: and they play The Stranger in its entirety, usually on

416
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: Friday nights, but they'll mix it up now. I mean,

417
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: over the past three weeks they've played it maybe three

418
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: times a week and sometimes at random times of day.

419
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: And it's never you're never the whole album though, Jack

420
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: the whole album It's leaving Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

421
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: is the best song on that album. Yeah, I'm never

422
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: not in the mood for that one. But I mean

423
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: then they're you know, there's a lot at the end,

424
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: the final song, which I like, forget the title. It's

425
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: also it's it's not super loud, so it's just enough

426
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: that it like makes you feel a certain way. But

427
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you can't even like identify it. Sometimes they'll play

428
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: it super quietly and you're just like, why do I

429
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: feel like there's like a weird New York City jazz

430
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: kind of vibe in the air, and they, ah, it's

431
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: the stranger Yeah, moving Out, Yeah, they incible Anthony song,

432
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: but you know what, it doesn't hold up as well

433
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: after like thirty plays moving Out. Moving Out was one

434
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: of my top ten Billy Joel songs, and now too,

435
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: I'm like digging into the you know Later catalog just

436
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: to balance it out. So I'm doing like I go

437
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: to extremes, keeping the faith? Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever

438
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: find yourself just accidentally going into like like, hey, could

439
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: you turn that back to Anthony's song? Sorry, guys, I'm

440
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Anthony now Joel. What are you gonna say? Just that

441
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry they're ruining like some of my favorite

442
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Billy Jwel songs are on this album, like Vienna. It's great,

443
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: like Jams, And I feel like it's unfair that they

444
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: are ruining it for you, But I'm glad that you

445
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: have found a way to bring a balance to your

446
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: Billy Jewel dysmography. Also, do you think after a year

447
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna get tired of it? Is there any like

448
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: slowing down of the progression of their listening? No, it's

449
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: picking up it's picking up and they'll add other things

450
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: like it's book ended. It's often like they book ended

451
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: um Elton John might be a lead in E l

452
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: O might follow, but there's variation there, you know, it's

453
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: a strange anger remains the same UM. But I do

454
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: have to say I like Vienna also, and it's you know,

455
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: I mostly associated with thirteen going on thirty where it's

456
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: employed to great effect. But it inspired an episode of Taxi.

457
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: I did not know this, yeah, and it's in the Wikipedia,

458
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, now I should like go

459
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: back and watch that episode of Taxi. But then I

460
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: was like, no, I've had enough. I don't need to

461
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: do this to myself. Degrees by j Yeah, totally take

462
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: over someone's life with by just playing a Billy Joel

463
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: album over over. It is a method of control, absolutely

464
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: psychologically at war with your neighbors. See gang helpful hints

465
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: here for you just start playing that album. It's torture,

466
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: it is. But have you ever thought about how like

467
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: sometimes you look in the mirror and the person looking

468
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: back is a stranger to you. The stranger is yourself. Yeah,

469
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: like we're all like we all and this is gonna

470
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: blow your mind. But it's all it's almost like we

471
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: all wear masks sometimes. Oh man, but that does seem

472
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: pathological At this point, I don't think they're going to

473
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, okay, we've had enough. It seems like

474
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: it's no. Now it's a whole. Now it's a lifestyle.

475
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: It went from like a fun thing to like, now

476
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: it's a joke, and now it's like we were jumping

477
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: the shark and now it's just an earnest commitment. Yeah,

478
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: there's no turning back. We'll speaking to of white supremacy.

479
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the uh, you know, long term trend

480
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: but recently even more troubling trend of anti Asian racism

481
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: in America. Um. Yeah, there's you know, I hate crime

482
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: that happened recently in the Bay Area. Uh, and it's

483
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: part of a broader trend to uh, Asian American actors

484
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: got involved with, um, you know, offering a reward to

485
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: solve the case and like, so it's finally getting some attention.

486
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: But this has been a long term issue. It's it's

487
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: just anti anti Asian racism is really it's wild of

488
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: being black and Japanese American. Like I've it's weird to

489
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: kind of reconcile what it means to even be American,

490
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: like looking through the lens lenses of the collective experiences

491
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: of like Asian Americans and African Americans. Um, you know, obviously,

492
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: like we had been saying at the beginning of the pandemic,

493
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: when motherfucker's are out here calling ship wuhan flew or

494
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: China virus, that racist rhetoric was just helping to laser

495
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: focus all that hatred into what we're now seeings like

496
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: just record year of hate crimes against Asian Americans. And

497
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's nothing new, but it occupies a very

498
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: unique blind spot in American society and media, just because

499
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: especially through like the evolution of like the the model minority,

500
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: the Asian model minority that was was emerging in like

501
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: the middle of the last century. But like you know,

502
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: well we kind of have to start at the gold

503
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: Rush because you kind of gotta see, you're not gonna understand,

504
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: like you can't understand anti black racism. We're not talking

505
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: about slavery, right, So you can't talk you can't understand

506
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: anti Asian racism without understanding the beginnings of immigration from

507
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: from Asia into into America. So in the beginning the

508
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: gold Rush. Okay, that's when it all kicked off. Everybody

509
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: was trying to get to California in the forties and

510
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: fifties to fucking strike gold. That was one of the

511
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: first significant influxes of Asian immigrants and Chinese people specifically,

512
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: they were about one fourth of the miners during the

513
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: gold Rush. But obviously because you have a white majority

514
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: or dominant class, they looked at these perceived intruders and

515
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: started engaging in violent, terroristic acts of racism to base

516
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: to oust them from the mining, and that relegated a

517
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: lot of these Chinese immigrants to lower wage jobs, which

518
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: is the l road and farming and things like that.

519
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: And then then slowly they began codifying these into like

520
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: Chinese Exclusion Act and saying, you know what you can

521
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: if you want to kick a motherfucker out because they're Chinese,

522
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: go to do you, honey, because this is a law now.

523
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: And that sort of momentum evolved. So once there was

524
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: a smaller population of uh Chinese workers to work farms

525
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: and things like that, the Japanese came in and that

526
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: was the next and then that's the next group who Okay,

527
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna work the farms, Like damn. They did a

528
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: lot with all that little bit, and now they're starting

529
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: to succeed a little bit. Okay, well, now we need

530
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: new laws to kind of make ship hot for them.

531
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: And then Filipino Americans came in, and they liked that

532
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: better because Filipinos were part of a country that was

533
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: annexed by the United States and felt like there was

534
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a parallel crossover to work

535
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: in the United States from the Philippines. So all this

536
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: like moment, it's it's been happening since, you know, the

537
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: beginnings of of Asian immigration, and that essentially leads to

538
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: fucking what we saw during World War Two. Japanese people,

539
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: Japanese Americans literal early put in concentration camps for years

540
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: because of Pearl Harbor. Yet Italian and German Americans you know,

541
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: do your thing, you know what I mean, because because

542
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: you're white, um, and that's just how that's just how

543
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: it goes out here. So it's just like this, you know,

544
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: looking through all of this, you're like, it's always a

545
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: thing that has existed, but we don't teach it, so

546
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: we don't really think of it as a huge part

547
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: of our American cultural history. But it's also like this

548
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: evolution of like the model minority in the sixties because

549
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people were pointing at Asian Americans who

550
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: are succeeding as a way to sort of funk up

551
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: the dialogue or conversation around the pursuit of civil rights

552
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: for black people, because they're like, well, these Japanese people

553
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: are like they have their own businesses and are going

554
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: to colleges and they're doing so well, like minorities are

555
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: able to succeed in this country. Like as this count

556
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: fucked up counterpoint, and I think that has also led

557
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: to this very weird, you know, monolithic perception of what

558
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: an Asian American person is, which is typically like, oh,

559
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: there are people who can make money, who are maybe

560
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: uh achieving hot higher levels demographically academically or higher incomes.

561
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: So it also like what that also does, is it

562
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: it sort of erases the nuance of what the Asian

563
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: American community looks like. It's like Nepalese Americans face all

564
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: kinds of high levels of of poverty and unemployment, same

565
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: with Hmong people. Like it's it's not just Chinese, Japanese

566
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: and Indian Americans, which I think everyone's just like see

567
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: Asians are good, They're good. You see them, their doctors

568
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: they got and so it when we have all these

569
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: acts of racism, it's it's not quite registering for people,

570
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: like it's like, oh, oh, that's awful, but it's not

571
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: sort of I don't think seen as the same uh

572
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: level of violence or the sheer terror it causes for

573
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: a community because of these other examples, it's not part

574
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: of the narrative of what the experiences for an Asian

575
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: American person. So I mean when you look at like

576
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: what's happening, especially with in the Bay Area, Um, you

577
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: know in San Francisco, eighty four year old man from Thailand,

578
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: he died after being attacked on his morning walk. There

579
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: was an Oakland a few people in Chinatown and Oakland

580
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: there we're getting shoved, attacked, robbed. You know that people

581
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: were taking cash out for Lunar New Year. So people

582
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: were like they're gonna get got Like that's just the

583
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: thing people were thinking. Because people have are walking around

584
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: with more cash. Um, and all of this is still

585
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: happening even when you look at what's happening like in

586
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: our schools, because there is this report that came out,

587
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: um that like Asian American Pacific Islander students in California

588
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: were the group that were most likely to experience bullying.

589
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: And on top of it, uh, like a majority of

590
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: students when they were talking about what kind of racist

591
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: rhetoric is normalized, it seemed to be that a surprising

592
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: amount of students are like, it seems like Asian jokes

593
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: are like, are not as offensive even though it's the

594
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: same territory of it as a racial joke. Um, so

595
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: we're having to have this real reckoning with what it

596
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: what this what the conversation has been between America and

597
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Asian Americans because no one is actually I think because

598
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: for me, I wasn't taught about any of this ship

599
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: in school and I grew up in California. It took

600
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: my parents to be like, do you what what you

601
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: said in the gold Rush? What they're saying about Asian people?

602
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: Huh what that they like to do laundry? Yeah, okay, No,

603
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: But I'm saying like, because we don't have these uh,

604
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: real conversations about our history, our history as a nation.

605
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: For the mistreatment of any group, be it Indigenous people,

606
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: Latin x whoever, like we're only we're only doomed to

607
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: keep repeating these sort of things. And I feel like

608
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: it's really happening again right now because this isn't This

609
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: isn't it's not a conversation that's had enough about like

610
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: observing anti Asian racism and what that means and what

611
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: everyone's part is in trying to come back that. Um

612
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's there. Just seems to be better. I

613
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: think education too across minority groups, right, like because if

614
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: you want to take a look back and you you're

615
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: talking about the Japanese tournament camps, right I think it's

616
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: something I didn't even know until I was in college

617
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: and actually kind of like really diving deeper and studying

618
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: different things. And one of the things that I studied

619
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: in college, I have a degree in Latin American history,

620
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: and one of the things that I had no idea

621
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: about until I literally took Latin American history was something

622
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: called the Brossero program. The Brossero program happened around the

623
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: nineteen forty ninety five, which is coincidentally the exact same

624
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: time that we are in turning Japanese Americans, who at

625
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: that time were the primary source of agricultural labor. So

626
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: the United States government had to figure out a way

627
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: to pick all these crops because they had put people

628
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: in internment camps they were picking these crops. So what

629
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: they did is they made a deal with Mexico to

630
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: allow workers to come north to work for seasonal portions

631
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: of time, so sort of temporary ability to come in

632
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: and primarily up and down the state of California specifically.

633
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: So you also started seeing animosity between groups because you

634
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: were seeing Mexican people coming in taking work from Asian jobs.

635
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: You have to kind of look at how all these

636
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: pieces sort of pattern and network together, you know, And

637
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: and it's important because the country, you know, our governments

638
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: have done the same thing to all of these groups.

639
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: Like you said, what we've seen with Native American people,

640
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: what we've seen with Asian people, what we've seen with Latinos,

641
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: what we've seen with black people, Like it's the same playbook,

642
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: but it's done in a way that sort of silos

643
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: and makes these communities more wary of other communities and

644
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: other minorities and white people in general. And until we

645
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: start putting this together and really speaking openly and really

646
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: start leveraging and understanding that we need to speak up

647
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: as within our own racial groups and also as racial

648
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: groups as a whole against the government. Like we're never

649
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: going to get anywhere. There has to be acknowledgement of

650
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: the stuff. There needs to be education. And that's one example.

651
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: There's been so many examples of that that basically our

652
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: institutionalized racism. And it's wild because even within communities, right

653
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: because even with my black cousins, I was Jackie Chance

654
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: and you know, I was Jetly or whatever, and but

655
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: then I don't I'm I don't let my cup what

656
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: from my fani? What? Then am I gonna say, you know,

657
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 1: like it's it's love or whatever. But then you get older,

658
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: you gotta actually really like we actually have. It's so

659
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: casually said, there's never a checking of it's like, you're

660
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: not gonna reduce me to this one version of a

661
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: celebrity or whatever. You you're touchstone for Asian culture. Like

662
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: it's the same ship. Like if someone comes to human

663
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: some white guy called this, oh hey, what's up Kobe

664
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: Bryant or some fucking dumb shit about whatever black celebrity,

665
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 1: it's the same ship, and I think, yeah, it's it's

666
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: it's just like over the summer where you know, I

667
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: found myself imploring people to check anti black racist talk

668
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: or any kind of fucking discriminatory language, that it has

669
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: to start within where you were at, because you don't

670
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 1: want people to think you're somebody who you can say

671
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: ship like that, or you can you can perpetuate these

672
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: kind of um discriminatory respect races, fucking racism called racism,

673
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Um so, and now it's

674
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: the same thing, but I think it's now it's like

675
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: do we have to keep pointing out it's like, okay,

676
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: so the summers for black anti black racism, for Asian

677
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: awareness around anti Asian racism when it's like racism, yeah,

678
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: and it's not again and it's not it's not always

679
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: necessarily about white supremacy, but it can because it can

680
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: happen within groups that aren't white. But in terms of

681
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: understanding like what we're seeing, like we also have to know,

682
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: like this country was also letting Americans know like we

683
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: don't really get a funk about Asian people, you know

684
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: what I mean? And that's the thing that taste is

685
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: historically still in the you know, sort of the back

686
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: of everyone's mouths, whether they know it or not. And

687
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, and in that Bay Area, you know, where

688
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: the first you know, significant group of Asian immigrants are

689
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: coming to We're still seeing this play out centuries later,

690
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's important is and even in

691
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: the United States, we're still replaying the same things because

692
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: we're not actually taking the second to be like, I

693
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: can't believe we did that as a country, and we

694
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: really should have never done that. Acknowledgment. Yeah, don't try

695
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: to explain it, don't try to contextualize it, just acknowledgement

696
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: and reflection. Yes, this occurred, and no, that is not good.

697
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: It is how can we make sure this never happens again? Right? Yeah,

698
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: it took like the eighties for a congressional fucking committee

699
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: to be like, I think the Japanese internment program was

700
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: based on racial prejudice, Like God, but that's that's the

701
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: pace at which we have these mini reckonings that you know,

702
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: at the end don't seem to have the effects that

703
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: we need them to the I mean, it does go

704
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: back to white supremacy because like even you know, if no,

705
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: no matter what group you are that's being discriminated against,

706
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: like it's impossible not to let that poison like seep

707
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: in let that lie. Yeah, I mean I meant that,

708
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: not that it's like obviously internalized white supremacy, but not

709
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: to say that this is only occurring with white people

710
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: against whoever, you know what I mean. So, yeah, from colonialism, right,

711
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: exact concept of coming here and that now that there

712
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: was a white person from a European country, that oh,

713
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: now we have brought civility, you know what I mean,

714
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: and and shooting any native cultures that are there to

715
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: begin with, right, and it just gets replaced. It just

716
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: gets replaced. It just gets replaced. The way is the

717
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: Germans were treated like the the go to villain of

718
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: history because they are, you know, the they symbolize evil, right,

719
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: like the German Nazis. The way German Nazis were treated

720
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: in pow camps. There's a pow camp in Alabama where

721
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: they were treated like a part of the community, welcomed

722
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: into the community. Uh naz POWs, you know, after the fact,

723
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: like actual like people who had roles within the Nazi

724
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: government and the Nazi war effort were welcomed into the

725
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: US government like that. It's they make sure that you

726
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: can't miss the message. You know, it's it's like, well, yeah,

727
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: they were on some funk shoot a couple of years ago,

728
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: but they're going to help us make big bang bangs now,

729
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: so you know all is all is forgiven. But yeah,

730
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: it's it's I I didn't really even realize, you know,

731
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: like that even California, right that groups of kids who

732
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: are most likely to experienced that were Asian American, Like,

733
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: it's yeah, And I think that's really indicative of the

734
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: work that still has to be done, because that's what

735
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: you're seeing. If if that's happening in schools now, this

736
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: ship is not going away for at least fifty years,

737
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that's you and if so,

738
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: we have to act. Actually, we have to do all

739
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: this work now to ensure a better future for ever.

740
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: You know, we might see it, we might see a

741
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: glimpse of it, but at least we got to do

742
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: something to let leave something good for the next generations

743
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: to come along and not have to deal with this ship.

744
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we will

745
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. What is something from

746
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are? Honestly,

747
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: let's take a look I don't even know. I can't

748
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: even tell you. Oh gosh, what you know what? The

749
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: last thing that I searched was disposal and recycling because

750
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: I live in an unincorporated county. So I need to

751
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: figure out how the hell you get rid of trash

752
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: when the city doesn't come and get it. Because I've

753
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: never done that before. I'm a city girl. I'm used

754
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: to like they there's a trash can and they come

755
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: and right out here. They're like, yeah, you're gonna have

756
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: to figure that out. So I gotta I need a

757
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: line on the trash hustle out here. Man. I was

758
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: looking at various places. I need someone to come and

759
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: get my get my trash. What what are the rates

760
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: like when you got a high you gotta come. That's

761

763
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: was like seventy bucks a month for trash. So I

764
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: figured truck, Yeah, you ran a truck once a month

765
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,880

767
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: this around. Why am I paying someone to pick up

773
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: my new favorite color. Going through the trash thing is

774
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: like a cliche and spy movies and ship and like

775
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: eighties movies had people going through other people's trash like

776
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: when they were trying to find stuff out about them,

777
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: but that is like real deal, like they actually that's

781
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: You said ever know? You never know? I was watching

782
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: that Um the Devil Next Store about a dude who

783
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: has suspected in Cleveland and like the late seventies early eighties,

784
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: is suspected of being Ivan the Terrible, like the one

785
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: of the prison camp cars. Yeah, and like his defense

786
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: just like starts getting all these documents from one of

787
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: the committees that's investigating him. And it was just somebody

788
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: going through their trash like outside of a New York

789
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: building and they were like Yeah, we taped this together.

790
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: We have all these documents and that holds up in court.

791
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: Apparently you threw it out right. So it's just street,

792
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: it's trash. It's trash. Where you're telling me as I

793
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: should burn all of my trash, Well, that's what I

794
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: was gonna say. That trash fires. Uh. That's when I

795
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: lived when I was very young. Uh, in West Virginian

796
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: Unincorporated area. That was how people got got rid of

797
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 1: their trash. Trash fires. Yeah, like you know other spots

798
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: in the world. You know, it's still like, you know,

799
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: I am the I am the trash people. I burned

800
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: my ship right here in my backyard. Yeah, I gotta

801
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: look at the burning trash. Yeah. So trash that gang

802
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: to holler Lydia you got you're either plug for or

803
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you got a truck connect so she

804
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: could start her business there you go. I have a

805
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: little hype on the idea of driving around a garbage truck. Yeah,

806
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: and just the wildest vibe though if I'm not saying

807
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: you are, but you were low key going through their

808
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: trash and creating like blackmail dossiers on them and be like, no, man,

809
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: you don't get it. This trash thing paid for itself

810
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: in the first month when I started getting money payments

811
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: from Now I'm gonna need the east half of your land.

812
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: These cracker barrel receipts and these Zaxby's receipts. And what

813
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: this tells me is he has another bitch. When you

814
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: start going to Crystal yeah, because there isn't one in

815
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: this county. So if you go on huh. I think

816
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: I should do my own version of Snapped, but like

817
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: garbage trash based only and just try to find people

818
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: just cheating on each other. That would be a funked

819
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 1: up podcast where it's like someone goes through the trash

820
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: of a random building and then talks to a person

821
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: based on what they know from going through their trash

822
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: and just freaks him out. Probably better YouTube prank video,

823
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: but somebody's a good podcast or awful one, or just

824
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: a career as a clairvoyant you know, Oh yes, the

825
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: scam psychics. Oh that Lydia, that's the wave you go

826
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,120
