124
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: It's sort of just like a lot of reactions from

125
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: fucking you know anywhere, from progressives to hardcore communists about

126
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,440

127
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: what's happening sometimes, But that's.

128
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,400

135
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: thing that they did with like a long, long term

136
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: benefits that they'd like to achieve, and just I don't know,

137
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: it feels like miraculous when a government intervenes in a

138
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: way that is designed to like make people's lives better,

139
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,160

143
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: and one that I've spent probably an episode's worth of

00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: lot of the congestion pricing is is like three minutes away.

160
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: And I had a show in Brooklyn last night, and

161
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, maybe I'll drive. And I've heard a

162
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: lot about congestion pricing, but I've just never researched any

163
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: of it. I'm like, well, whatever this is is going

164
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: to happen to me at some point. And then I'm like, oh,

165
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: I should look into it, into this and yeah, I

166
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: would get charged, you know, and we'll go more into it.

167
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: But I'm like, at first, I was pissed, So I'm like, well,

168
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: I want to fucking pay nine dollars to go do

169
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 2: this shitty show in Brooklyn in addition to the tolls

170
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: that I'm already paying. But then I'm like, oh, wait.

171
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Should pay me to do this shitty show in Brooklyn.

172
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: Everyone should pay me. I shou I didn't have to

173
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: pay rent. I should be treated like an ambassador. Basically,

174
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: where have my lodging provided for me? Like a diplomat?

175
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: But I then realized, oh this, we should just be

176
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: taking public transit. They should put fucking bike lanes that

177
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: where you don't get murdered by a car, like if

178
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: you just get on a bicycle. They should have that

179
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: infrastructure in cities. So yeah, when I was pissed off

180
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: about it selfishly am I go, this is a good thing.

181
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's my opinion, and I'm

182
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: not going to during the segment.

183
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: You'll just be curious.

184
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 4: It's so curious about the details of it because you

185
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: are right at the interface of I guess I just

186
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 4: assume congested pricing meant it was within when the city

187
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: was likely to be congested.

188
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: It's a big Yeah, it's a big range where I

189
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: believe on weekdays it goes until nine pm. I think,

190
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: so it's not Yeah, no, it won't sleep here. I

191
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: am exhausted. I cannot sleep in this fucking city. But yeah, no,

192
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: you're right. I mean, it's obviously a controversial issue for

193
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: a reason where I think the big issue people had

194
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: with it was like, oh, like a teacher, for instance,

195
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: who has to drive into the city. Now they're paying

196
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: more money coming in from North Jersey to the city.

197
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, in a perfect world, this would make the

198
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: public transit, you know, better, and make.

199
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: Better you take public transit, or you could take public transit.

200
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, from Jersey into Lower Manhattan. Is the is

201
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 4: the point where like, oh right, yeah, I guess that

202
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 4: makes sense.

203
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if I was in New York, I wouldn't

204
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: want people from Jersey in there either, So like I

205
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: do understand there the design.

206
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, keep people from New Jersey out of here, please.

207
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Sorry, we got yeah, we're selling the previous. We're selling

208
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: the previous.

209
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: So you see how they reacted to drones.

210
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: Way, why don't we fly them in on drones.

211
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: See now we're two birds with one drone.

212
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: You can do that, you fit, you fix congestion, all

213
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: the congestion just by covering. This is the island of

214
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: Manhattan and drones and the people in Jersey.

215
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, sort of a dome of drama. Drune dome, drum dome.

216
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: Blake, what's something you think is underrated?

217
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: Underrated non alcoholic beers? And uh, I'm a beer drinker.

218
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: Love that ship, but you don't. You can't get enough

219
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: of that that ship, that hot ship.

220
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: And this is a word for word recreation of what

221
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: Blake says every time he enters a bar.

222
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: It's fucking crazy.

223
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 2: Three hot ships, please pull the rocks.

224
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm a beer drinker, just f y I I'm a

225
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: beer drinker by trade, love that ship.

226
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: By trade, by birth, my lineage. It goes way back

227
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: of beer drinkers. And but sometimes you don't want to

228
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: drink and Uh, it's good too. By the way, everybody's different.

229
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: Some people don't drink it all, some people, you know,

230
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: like have a problem. But I like the idea of

231
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: having a prop first of all, in that like when

232
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: you're hanging out, it is almost just a motion that

233
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: you're doing, like you want something carbonated, and the taste

234
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 2: is like unbelievable in these things now where it does

235
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: just taste like a beer and then you don't have

236
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: to deal with the alcohol of all of it. I

237
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: think Brian put hop water in here, which is like

238
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: very good as well. So yeah, shocking how good hopwater is.

239
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah for a thing that sounds genuinely disgusting nasty.

240
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, you think it's gonna be like cloudy and

241
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, just be like ipa but like mixed

242
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: with water. But yeah, hop water is just like if

243
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: Lacroix made a really good ipa flavor.

244
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's so weird? Yeah, it's really Do you do

245
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,680

Speaker 2: interested in.

255
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: What do I think about you talking about that?

256
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: You see like someone with opinions on nos Faratu because

257
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: I've not seen it because so.

258
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: Much I have And yeah, I didn't get it at all?

259
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: What was that movie about? I really like Sam Adams

260
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: has this like hazy. I P a thing that I

261
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: tried the other night that was really good, But what

262
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: is if I made comfortable?

263
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could tell?

264
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: All right, Sam Adams has probably got his answer is

265
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: going to be a dunkin Donuts flavored I P a water.

266
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: I think when I'm doing knuckle boxing, what's the mustache

267
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: wax is off your little fingers?

268
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: I know.

269
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: I was in fucking Atlanta for Christmas and I went

270
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: to this ooh pub called I think the Porter or

271
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: something like that was fucking great and they had crazy

272
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: food there. They did shrimp toast and it was like

273
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: a real weird lost in translation, but it was just

274
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: these huge shrimps on pieces of toast.

275
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well yeah it must have been.

276
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: But they were like whole like Georgia shrimp, which I

277
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 4: guess is a thing, but oh my god, it was

278
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: so good. Anyway, their non alcoholic beer was by this

279
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 4: company called Untitled Art. Huh, and their ipa was the

280
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: closest to an ipa. I think of the non alcoholic beers,

281
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: I tend to be like on the watery side is

282
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: more accurate. Like I think like a na Corona tastes

283
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: exactly like a corona, but for like the obvious reasons.

284
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 4: But I think some of the happier ones, I'm like,

285
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: that's not that close. Anyway, Fucking Untitled Art so so good.

286
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure.

287
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a like poptimist like mainstream answer. I

288
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: actually think the Heineken zero point zero tastes it's a

289
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: lot like a Heineken. It's zero, like a lot of

290
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: non alcoholic beer like has some at like it's like

291
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: point five alcohol or whatever. Like the Heineken has no

292
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: alcohol tastes like a Heineken. I feel like that one's actually.

293
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah and is readily available.

294
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's also the most available one.

295
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 4: So the Guinness, it tastes just like a Guinness because

296
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: guests apparently just tastes like everything else besides alcohol anyway, Right.

297
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: But how much? How much guinness can you really drink?

298
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Right, fellas? Before you move on, I like my I

299
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: pas with viscosity though, I like you to, you know,

300
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: blop out a little bit, you know, just like like

301
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm crazy. I like it to be like somewhat watery,

302
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: not not as much a paste.

303
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 2: My face gets red when I drink Guinness, where like

304
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: I get like a guineas only yeah's interesting and.

305
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 4: Yeah you're you're like like the like the just the

306
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 4: rosy cheeks knock back a guinness.

00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, pale, Yeah, some sort of immunocompromise situation, like the

308
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: look of it. Yeah, no, that's me.

309
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: It's where all your proteining or diet comes from. Guinness.

310
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: It's just what is if you have enough? Yeah?

311
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: What is something blake that you think is overrated?

312
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: So I think overrated as a practice is street cleaning,

313
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: like residential street cleaning in cities where I've never First

314
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: of all, I've never seen street cleaning happen. And I

315
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: go outside and look and like, wow, look how clean

316
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: this fucking street is? Like they don't nothing gets cleaned,

317
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: And if you don't know what it is like basically

318
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: it's alternate street cleaning. So if you're in a city,

319
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: they like, you're not allowed to park on a side

320
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 2: of the street from X time to X time because

321
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: allegedly a fucking sweeper truck comes by and cleans the

322
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: street and you get ticketed if you leave your car there.

323
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: So I don't have a like a garage or a

324
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: parking spot, so like I move my car. And this

325
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: also happened when I lived in La too, But it

326
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: just seems to me like a shitty way for the

327
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: city to get revenue with no benefit to people whatsoever

328
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: street cleaning. So there is an interesting where I saw

329
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn, there's this weird community thing that like neighborhoods

330
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: will do where they'll double stack their cars on one

331
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 2: side of the street, so say, like the right side

332
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: is being cleaned street cleaning, cars from the right side

333
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: will just park next to the cars and trap them

334
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 2: in on the left side of the street. But like,

335
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: I guess people know each other and have each other's

336
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: numbers where if they have to leave. Ye, Yeah, it's

337
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 2: a pretty elaborate system that I would imagine doesn't work.

338
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that just stressed me out so much too. My

339
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: heart rate shot through the roof just hearing about that arrangement.

340
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: I do kind of genuinely believe that it's a little

341
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 4: bit like velociraptor rules for the non ticketable side of

342
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 4: the street on on alternate side parking, like yeah, fucking

343
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 4: double park the entire street. Like I feel like, and

344
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: I know this can't be true, but I genuinely feel

345
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: like the fucking like traffic cops, the whatever, the people

346
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 4: giving tickets, it's like they can only see the side

347
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: of the street where people were like, you're not supposed

348
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: to be parked, and it's lawless on the other side

349
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 4: on here.

350
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, this is this is crazy. Brian the

351
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: editor has come through and described a situation that doesn't

352
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. Brand the editor lives in

353
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: Mexico City.

354
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: If you sit where to America City.

355
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah whatever. But they employ people who need money, okay,

356
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: weird and give them a high viz vest and broom

357
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: and then they just actually clean the.

358
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 3: Streets every day.

359
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: So like, where do you get the big machine that

360
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: comes through and uh blows ship in your face if

361
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: you have to be yeah, because I have seen the streets.

362
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does.

363
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: It just turns it out of the way into a

364
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: different direction.

365
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: Because it makes it makes It's like what if you

366
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: only had a broom and no dust pan.

367
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's exactly what's.

368
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: Great if we created a three hundred thousand dollars machine

369
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: that was like a broom with no dust pan and uh,

370
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: there's some water I think mixed in a little bit

371
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: where likes it down.

372
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a change. The leaves are moved, but they

373
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 4: are there.

374
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: So many things could be fixed with. Just like we're

375
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: going to invent four hundred jobs based on like talking

376
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: to people in the city, like jobs that they think

377
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: should exist, and yeah, the task we're going to pay them.

378
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 4: Well yeah, yeah, one utility for those street cleaning things.

379
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is actually as.

380
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: True anymore in the era of three D printing, but

381
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 4: if you're looking to create DIY lock picks, the bristles

382
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: from a street cleaning thing are some of the best

383
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 4: in the biz as far as lock picking tools.

384
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: How the fuck do you know that.

385
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: This mustache as well? I want to add that.

386
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: But only at certain times of the month. You have

387
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: to get it at a certain times after they molt, yes,

388
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: right before they molt. So you can't at it unless

389
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: you can make friends with the walrus right before they

390
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: mold off.

391
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: The lock pick thing.

392
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 2: Editor Brian has in Chat started on a path of

393
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 2: proclamations that I'm worried are going to become legally actionable.

394
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: So I'll just say he agrees it works.

395
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: So well, I know that that's amazing, all right, you

396
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: guys are much cooler than me. Also, the street cleaning

397
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: thing I wasn't talking about you, Blake. The street cleaning

398
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: thing does tie in with I think what we're going

399
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: to talk about with regards to the police, because it's like,

400
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: how do we have just every What if the only

401
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 1: tool you had was a hammer and you had to

402
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: make it do every job with the blunt end of

403
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: a hammer.

404
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 4: A bunch of hammers that actually shoot really little hammers

405
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: via concussive force, and that's all you can do with them.

406
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 4: They're not really designed for hammering anything.

407
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: By the way, we.

408
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: Don't have people who go out in the street clean

409
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: the street. We have one really fast, heavy machine that

410
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: goes around and if you get in it the fucking way,

411
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: you have to deal with the cops. Asshole. Okay, A

412
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: weird way to street clean clean up the streets. We're

413
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: taking out the trash. Were No, we just like literally

414
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: mean we want the streets to be.

415
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: Not literally trash. Yes, asshole.

416
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: As Biden said, we count on police to be our teachers,

417
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: are psychiatrists, our librarians are our custodians, our wives. We

418
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: don't need to defund the police. We need to fund more.

419
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: That was his argument, giving them more fun. Anyway, let's

420
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: take a quick break, we'll come back, we'll talk about

421
00:23:48,400 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: the wildfires. And we're back. And as mentioned up top,

422
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Miles is not here because of the wildfires. I'm gonna,

423
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, give him space to you know, talk about

424
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: it when he gets back. But you know, sending a

425
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: lot of love and good energy to him and his family.

426
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: But you know, we're our producer. Justin is out because

427
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, his area has been without power for forty

428
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: eight hours. Just a lot of people dealing with a

429
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: lot of shit. I've got somebody who's a good friend

430
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: of mine who was evacuated who's staying with us right now. Andrew,

431
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: it sounds like you've got some of that.

432
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, turning your way.

433
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, it just it's it's not one of those

434
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: like I know a guy who has a friend who

435
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: like this impacted. It's like every everybody's like one degree

436
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: of separation away from people who are losing.

437
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 4: And you know, to the extent that there is any

438
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 4: kind of silver lining to the well, I don't know.

439
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 4: And I'm also going to say something that I'm not

440
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 4: even totally sure.

441
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: Is true, but I think this is the first like

442
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: climate major climate disaster that has affected large numbers of

443
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: middle and upper middle class white people.

444
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's true.

445
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 2: I mean maybe assumption in the UK that is, but

446
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: you know, in this far Australia, you know, this is

447
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: certainly like I don't know what sort of like change

448
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: in political will this could possibly bring, but it is

449
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: sort of that where it's like, you know, you can't

450
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: hide from this, like, you know, as much as it's

451
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: a result of us, like you know, exploiting the global

452
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 2: South and people of color and poor people everywhere, it's like, yeah,

453
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: but it's it's we're changing shit, and it's it's there's

454
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: no protection from this really.

455
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

456
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's right.

457
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: It's not that that seems good, but that's the truth.

458
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Right. It feels like we're in a you know, the

459
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: scale seems biblical, Like I feel like it needs to

460
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: be biblical for like people to get their heads around

461
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: what is happening and like the amount of change that

462
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: needs to happen. But yeah, hopefully this is cutting across

463
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: enough borders that there's political will to do something beyond

464
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: the guy being like, hey, is anybody know any private firefighters? Yeah,

465
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: that could come through and save my house.

466
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: Uh, andrew rained on that parade for me because I

467
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: thought there were cool like you know, yeah fighters.

468
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: During that And look, I'm not saying I know for

469
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 4: sure that there are not, but it's just a thing

470
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 4: where it's like it's not from what I read about

471
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 4: like the private fire services that exist.

472
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 3: It's not like a uber for firefighters.

473
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: It's more like a service that you have worked with

474
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: for years.

475
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, or it's not a last second you can't cram

476
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: it as the fire is closing in on your home.

477
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: You can't price firefighters. Oh yeah, I guess there's right.

478
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: There are planes that you can hire, but the general

479
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 2: firefighting I think is like part of like, you know,

480
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: a service that you've had. I've I heard it described

481
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: as like a lot of it was honestly landscaping advice

482
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: like it's just like, you know, you're you're you're maintaining

483
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: a house that can be saved in the event of

484
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: a fire rather than just like Blackwater but for firefighters.

485
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that is a movie starring Mark Wahlberg that

486
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: is going to be made because of this tragedy. That

487
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: that is one outcome that I can foresee is like

488
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: a person facing down wildfire season and they're like, we

489
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: got to call in the fizz or what just.

490
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 2: Shit face drunk in like Quincy, Massachusetts, turns on the

491
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: who cease fire and then yah's that Logan airport on

492
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: a Jet Blue flight to La Yeah.

493
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where Mark Wahlberg was this week,

494
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: but Victor suproducer Victor points out that if he was here,

495
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have gone down the way it was.

496
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: Sure would have punched that fire right out.

497
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

498
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, which is not to say that there's not

499
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: like resources to be marshaled, but like the best way

500
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 2: to spend you know, this money is on things like

501
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: taxes and an appropriate city budget that funds the Los

502
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: Angeles Fire Department or whatever fire department you're in.

503
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: Like it or not, we're all on some level in

504
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: this together. Yes, I do just want to like firefighters.

505
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: I think they come into the national spotlight every once

506
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: in a while, and when they do, it's not like

507
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: the cup where we're just like, wait, why the fuck

508
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: do we have these guys anything, like these guys are

509
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: fucking terrible, Like it's a you kind of get reminded

510
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: why everybody wants to fuck them and uh and why,

511
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: Like if you have to give a movie character a

512
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: heroic job, you go with firefighter, Like to.

513
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: Give this guy a calendar.

514
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't care what he looks like, Uh,

515
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: turn him into Jack Off material. But there was I

516
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: don't know, like I'm probably in the midst of you know,

517
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: of just this story, but like there was the equivalent

518
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: of an NBA like highlight where a fire helicopter just

519
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: dropped a swimming pool of water on a fire that

520
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: was like spreading out of the Hollywood Hills. It was

521
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: literally like everybody, it's you know, fairly close to where

522
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: we live, and like all our neighbors were like, holy shit,

523
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: like here comes the one that's gonna and this. Yeah,

524
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't think this single handedly stopped it, but like

525
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: a helicopter dropped a swimming pool of water on a

526
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: fire and it just fucking went out like the It

527
00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: was like swish from way downtown. I was like, holy shit.

528
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: Without getting too dark, I saw I don't know, blue sky.

529
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: I guess the comment threat underneath it was like you know,

530
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: various things that you could yell when you when you

531
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: make a great shot in basketball, and someone was like,

532
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: you know that pilot was yelling Kobe. And then people

533
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 4: pointing out, yeah.

534
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: I'm zooming in on the photo of the helicopter. Oh

535
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: my god, that's Mark Wahlberg flying that bird.

536
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Hey, you know he wouldn't tell anybody if he did.

537
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: He's just like a humble.

538
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 3: By.

539
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: The helicopter is just a fancy drone. So I just

540
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: want to say that as a Jersey person, I saw

541
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: a copter and I wanted to shoot it down. Then

542
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: is that thing doing up there? I started spinning it.

543
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: I was spinning at the sky.

544
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: New Jersey people would be freaked out by l a

545
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: man lord.

546
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: Aliens.

547
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: So I've been kind of like glued to this coverage.

548
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: You know, our kids are out of school, so we're

549
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: just you know.

550
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: I had a friend who had school yesterday, which is

551
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 4: also insane.

552
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: Really god, but you know, glued to the fire map.

553
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: I see fire maps when I close my eyes now,

554
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: like the varying colors, which Andrew you were pointing out before.

555
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 4: I do have a note for the listen. I understand

556
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 4: fire watch app wonderful service. People have been really enjoying it.

557
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: Watch duty.

558
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 4: We'll say there you I bright red fire makes sense,

559
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 4: dark magentaish or dark pink. Let's say fire warning, yellow

560
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 4: fire whatever, the equivalent of tornado watches.

561
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: It's like you'll be ready to be evacuated, but.

562
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: Then they just have a you're in a dry fire

563
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: prone area and that's like a different shade of pink,

564
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: which is very alarming, and get the map.

565
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're like, yeah, I guess the other one's orange.

566
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: The point is the gradations of danger go from red

567
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 4: dark pink, yellow, and then least dangerous is light pink,

568
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 4: which I think is bad ui.

569
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: On a personal level, we.

570
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: All agree that it should be like yellow orange, red,

571
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: and some like grading it in there right, like.

572
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 3: That that's my pitch. That's what they're doing.

573
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: Great inherent Yeah, they are doing a great job. Also,

574
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 1: Like my eight year old is like addicted to that

575
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 1: app now, like he just we were like he's like

576
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: scrolling it and like obsessed.

577
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one of the It's different where in La

578
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: we had like an earthquake kit in our place because

579
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: I love for the listeners. I live in LA for

580
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: ten years and it's one of the only it's the

581
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: only place I've ever lived where I had an emergency

582
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: kit basicly go bag.

583
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I could.

584
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: Go bag, which isn't necessarily you know, there are obviously

585
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: situations in other places where you could need that. But

586
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: I remember having like earthquake water, Like we would always

587
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: have like a case of water somewhere and then we

588
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: would get thirsty on our way out and grab the water,

589
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: so we just wouldn't have any water. Yeah, is this

590
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: something that you like? Do you guys have earthquake kits? Like,

591
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: I know, like some of you have packed up I

592
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: was talking to yeah before.

593
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, mine's not freshened up since the last time. I

594
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 4: probably put in the big work to do it in

595
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. Like I think my cube of water cannot

596
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 4: possibly be good. I will say before that I did

597
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: have an earthquake kit that was based on gallons of

598
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 4: water and being hungover in my late twenties early thirties.

599
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: The fact that I like.

600
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: Drank my earthquake water really says something about America.

601
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 3: I think because I was too hot.

602
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, I got the cube that's allegedly non toxic.

603
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: But there's just no way the cube's been there for

604
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: like four years. It can't be good.

605
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: Quake diet coke.

606
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a twelve pack of coke for what

607
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: lukewarm diet coke from the early nineties. What the cube

608
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: is like a separate It's not just like a two

609
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: gallon thing of arrow.

610
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean it's it's it's like a water container

611
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 4: that someone recommended.

612
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: That's like, okay, a square thick, Yeah, the square. You

613
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 2: can see a square. Everyone can see a square.

614
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Can't can't Now you've lost to tell.

615
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: You about spears afterwards, and you're gonna flip that.

616
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: Wait, so you're talking about like a third dimension. That's

617
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm not you.

618
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: Know what doesn't make sense to people would say that. Yeah.

619
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: So I was watching this press conference yesterday and it

620
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: just really drove home the thing we were talking about

621
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: about the police, Like, the police are coming into this

622
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of ways. One, because people noticed that

623
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: the firefighting budget was cut a small amount last year.

624
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: You know, like people who are defensive or you know,

625
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: hate the Republicans are Like the Republicans are making this

626
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: seem like they slashed the entire budget. It was, you know,

627
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: a two percent budget cut. Fine, they also like massively

628
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: increased the police budget as crime is going down and

629
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: the fire the danger of fire is going up. And

630
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: it's not specific politicians fault. It's the entire American apparatus

631
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: that does this. But I was actually this press conference yesterday.

632
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: It was like the Pasadena fire chief and then police chief,

633
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: and just the rhythm of this press conference was so wild,

634
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Like they first half it's the fire chief. He's just

635
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: this weird little guy, just answering difficult questions, like here's

636
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: why it's spread, here are the challenges we faced here

637
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: where like we could have done better. Here, here's what's

638
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: still going on, like ending his answers with like, did

639
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: that answer your question? And like it seemed genuinely curious

640
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: about whether it had like not a genius, nothing particularly noteworthy,

641
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: just a person doing the job that they have at

642
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: a difficult time. When people like not a job speaker,

643
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: not a public speaker in any way, then they give

644
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: the next part of the press conference to the police chief,

645
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: and he like opens up like bragging about individual people

646
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: that they had evacuated from their homes, like just having

647
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: to like just flex on everybody, and then started talking

648
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: about and he's like, and now we're moving into the

649
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: problem solving situation where we're gonna deal with anybody who's looting,

650
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: and like starts seating this like looting story. By the way,

651
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: could a better funded fire department have done the evacuations? Yeah,

652
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: who's to.

653
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 4: Say there's a thing with like we're watching the argument

654
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 4: for defund the police.

655
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 3: Like literally, even if you're the most like.

656
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: Conservative non maniac possible who thinks we need some kind

657
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 4: of police, Like, most of the money that goes to

658
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: the police is the least efficient way to do those

659
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 4: job descriptions like the non fucking law enforcement allegedly side

660
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 4: of things.

661
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 3: You're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

662
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 4: You you got in like the cops having five times

663
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 4: more budget or more than the than the fire department.

664
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 4: But talking on a retail level about helping individuals versus

665
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 4: people try to help communities several orders of magnitude in

666
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 4: both the wrong direction. Yes, So this is just a

667
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: bad investment, you fucking business dickheads, Like, yeah, explain that exactly.

668
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: Well, the police, there are, there are teachers, there are doctors,

669
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: and there are firemen.

670
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 3: Police are our firemen.

671
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, there are doctors, there are wives, there are firemen.

672
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: It's just a more expensive, least effective version of all

673
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 2: those things.

674
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, why would you want that?

675
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: And then the second half of the police part was

676
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: just the most essentially the verbal equivalent of firing is

677
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: gun in the air with the like inscrutable police speak

678
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: about the possibility of looters where they're just like, uh,

679
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: and we just got one message for you, don't even

680
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: try it. We're now shifting into the safety operation where

681
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: we will be on the lookout for looters. Make no mistake,

682
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: we will act decisively and with definitive kinetic means in

683
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: the eventuality that we you know, just like throwing all

684
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: those fucking bullshit police worth any individual perpetrating such criminal

685
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: activity for.

686
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: The fullest extent of the law. Yeah, exactly, shiit not

687
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: to invoke you know, previous week's biggest story, but the

688
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: biggest theft that will be occurring in southern California will

689
00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: be on behalf of insurance companies have already stolen tons

690
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: of money and will not be paying out on things

691
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: that they owe.

692
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 3: That is oh yeah, my prediction.

693
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: My prediction is that that they are going to be

694
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: going bankrupt and it's going to be up to the

695
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: government to yeah there is all people's yeah, which I

696
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: don't know.

697
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 4: People will simply not be made whole on the things

698
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 4: that are absolutely owed, which I feel like is likely anyway.

699
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: And if you're thinking about theft Californians and the globe,

700
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 4: just remember the theft already happened, and it's a bunch

701
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 4: of guys in boardrooms.

702
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: Two nights into many homes across the city being evacuated,

703
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: and the police are reporting they've encountered three instances of looting,

704
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: I think. And by the way, they give themselves a

705
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: very wide latitude when determined something is looting.

706
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 2: So someone picked a quarter up off the ground, and yeah,

707
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: so they were looting the ground.

708
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, we saw they're looting our city. The very

709
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: foundation of our city is our grounds.

710
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: It's our ground. That's true.

711
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that is true, and you can't you can't

712
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: deny that. And we're not taking questions and we will

713
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: take no further answers at Las time. Let's take a

714
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,

715
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: and we're back, and we'll be doing this whole episode

716
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: with this New York accent.

717
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 3: Smart voice.

718
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: Hey fucking smart over here. I went to Sunny Yonkers

719
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: for one and a half years.

720
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: A lot of.

721
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: Great people out of the seaming system.

722
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: Man, I couldn't agree more.

723
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm just jealous. Okay. New York has introduced a policy

724
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: that seems to be aimed at overall improving their infrastructure

725
00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: and quality of life while making business interests angry and uh,

726
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: making people less likely to drive cars. Like that, anything

727
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: that has anything to do with people's right to drive

728
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: a car seems to be such a fucking like, uh

729
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: just hot button issue. So the fact that this is

730
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: happening seems like a minor miracle. The fact that it

731
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: seems like a minor miracle is devastating. That that means

732
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: that we're in a very bad place.

733
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: I keep my guns in my car, so these are

734
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: this is a hot But you take away my car,

735
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: you take away my Yeah, I.

736
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 3: Mean you could, I mean you could.

737
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: You could get your like if you replace the water

738
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: bottle rack on your bike, you could fit at least one.

739
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: Gut in there.

740
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then.

741
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe turn the top bar into a shotgun. Yeah,

742
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 3: shotguns about it, just tink it about it.

743
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: I keep a grenade in my tail, which I know

744
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 2: it's not a gun, but it's still fun.

745
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: And if it backs up, you know, if your car

746
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: is backed up, that's it becomes rolled out.

747
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

748
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: All right, I'm not secured in there.

749
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, pens in It's fine.

750
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, So people taking cars into Manhattan's busiest neighborhoods will

751
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: now have to pay a toll up to nine dollars.

752
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: Up to nine dollars, so that's that's where we're maxing out.

753
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: This is the new Congestion Relief Zone plan. It went

754
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: into effect because of federal judge ruled against New Jersey's

755
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: lawsuit to stop it. And this makes New York the

756
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: first city in the US to implement a congestion relief

757
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: plan like this. There have been other plans in like

758
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: London that we've talked about before with admiration and like

759
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: couldn't happen here, especially like during the pandemic when the

760
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: cities like were nicer because they weren't just like choked

761
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: with traffic, and people were like, yeah, we're going to

762
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: like actually close this street and just let it be

763
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: like a pedestrian walkway where people can like walk around

764
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: and you know, have their blood pressure lower a little

765
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: bit because they don't feel like they're about to get

766
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: run down by a taxi. And yeah, they've gone back

767
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: to that not being a thing. And yeah, we've talked

768
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: about like parking spots, like getting rid of parking spots

769
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: can be a good thing, but yeah, people will freak

770
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: the fuck out and seem to be freaking the fuck

771
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: out when it comes to this. There's the New York

772
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: Post has just been keeping up a steady stream, just

773
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: like the pressure is unrelenting on this law. And like

774
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: they they blamed somebody like doing something violent on the

775
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: subway on this. I think they're they're just like this

776
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: guy snapped, probably because of congestion pricing.

777
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 4: It's probably yeah, ship blake again.

778
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, I love Brian just wrote I

779
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 2: love how people pay for a car, insurance, gas, parking,

780
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: maintenance and not nine dollars. It's my approach to that

781
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 2: is like, oh, like I order like a Burger fries

782
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: wings and then like a diet coke with dinner. You know,

783
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: I can't have I've already pushed myself to such a limit.

784
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 2: I can't have this extra one hundred and fifty calories

785
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: or whatever my one. So I agree this is a

786
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: good thing. The you know how, I'm mister both sides. Yeah,

787
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 2: I love and it's a term that I've really fell

788
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 2: in love with in the past couple of years. But

789
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: my Jersey complaint, my Jersey complaint is that public transit.

790
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: And by the way, the goal of this is to

791
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: make public transit better, obviously and more like make that

792
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: the default way of getting around obviously. And the issue

793
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: currently I think why why people are complaining there's some

794
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: legitimacy to it, is that the Holland Tunnel is like

795
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 2: one of the main tunnels that go from North Jersey

796
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 2: into New York and it shuts down at a then

797
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: pm during the week because of damage that it sustained

798
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: during like a hurricane from god knows how many years,

799
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 2: like maybe like six years ago or something. Maybe it

800
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: was Sandy, I don't know which one it was. But

801
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 2: so that shuts down and then the uh it's called

802
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 2: the path, which is the port like authority transit whatever

803
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: is the Jersey Subway that takes you into New York,

804
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: and then that runs I believe every forty minutes, I

805
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 2: think like after eleven So the problem is that or

806
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: a problem? So this is a good thing. And then

807
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: also separately, a additional problem here is that the Jersey

808
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: public transit system is such a disaster that it's kind

809
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: of fucked people, where like this good thing that's happened

810
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,959
Speaker 2: has like started to get negative feedback because of how

811
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 2: bad the transit system is here. So I don't have

812
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 2: a solution to that. And Hoboken's train station is also

813
00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 2: shutting down, so.

814
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 3: I was going to ask, what is it.

815
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 4: It's like the ferry the path trains, and that's it, right, yes,

816
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 4: And then you could so when the Holland Tunnel shuts

817
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 4: down at eleven sharp, you would have to drive up

818
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 4: from Lower Manhattan to what is called the Lincoln Tunnel,

819
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 4: which the whole rest of the world is doing simultaneously.

820
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 2: So that I think is a complaint. It's not an

821
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 2: argument against congestion pricing. I'm just adding like, whatever the

822
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: hell else is going on?

823
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but can't I mean, surely they can just up

824
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 4: the frequency of the path trains also they should do that. Yeah, yeah,

825
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 4: it has been night. Public transit just takes an hour. Yeah,

826
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 4: that's life in New York, baby, it's life anywhere. Yeah,

827
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 4: like like Boston anywhere. So I think that's the problem

828
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 4: is that Jersey, I think has fucked itself, and then

829
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: that's the problem. They're getting mad at congestion pricing. I

830
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 4: think the issue is actually that New Jersey completely screwed

831
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 4: itself over right now icing public transfer?

832
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I mean.

833
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 3: Jersey fucked itself is kind of the state modle it.

834
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: Is on my Jersey. We fucked ourselves.

835
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 3: Hey, go fuck ourselves. Do we fuck ourselves on this one?

836
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: I think it got damaged in such a way that

837
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: it's okay to operate during daylight hours.

838
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: They're repairing it at night.

839
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 1: Oh, they're repairing at night. Yeah, yes, okay, that makes.

840
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: Still it's a good question.

841
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 2: The question is still there or how bad, how badly

842
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: does it need to be repaired that you're shutting down

843
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: one of the two major arteries into New York and

844
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 2: again the city doesn't sleep.

845
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

846
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: I feel like the most American answer to this is just,

847
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, we've all seen the Sylvester Salom movie. Where

848
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: the tunnel gets damaged daylight, just you know the man up.

849
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some heroes on when that thing eventually

850
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: goes down, and uh, we'll all be fine.

851
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 3: My pitch.

852
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: We have city bikes, why not have a city motorcycle

853
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,959
Speaker 2: have a whole line at d y evil over. Yes,

854
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: we need a ramp and several ramps. We can't just

855
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 2: have one ram because then that whole bottlenecks. So yeah,

856
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 2: I think evil canieveling over the Hudson is the solution

857
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: here into a harp.

858
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: They get do they get parachutes on the way back.

859
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: You don't get charged going back into Jersey.

860
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, it is Girl Scout Cookie season. Do

861
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: you guys partake?

862
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 4: I haven't in a minute, but I did tease my

863
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 4: favorite because I guess I've just been an old man

864
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 4: since forever and I think they're no longer available. But

865
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 4: my favorite Girl Scout cookie is the fucking nearly flavorless

866
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 4: short bread one apparently oils trefoils.

867
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: The name is you dip it in anything, or you

868
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: just like so much milk.

869
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 4: It's basically what I do, because I take any number

870
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 4: of oils and turn it into sort of like a

871
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 4: paste with milk. I don't know why it's it's objectively gross.

872
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 4: I understand that, but they are my actual, factual favorite

873
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 4: girl Scout cookies.

874
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: I like, like every time I have them, Like in concept,

875
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, I don't funk with those, Like why

876
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: would I get that instead of something with like chocolate

877
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: on it? Tea, yeah, some something thermal I think my favorite.

878
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: But the trifoils really do hit like I I only

879
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: eat there too, and yeah, I always enjoy the hell

880
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: out of them.

881
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 3: I think it is.

882
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 4: Because we fought a war against those fucking tea drinking

883
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 4: breads to not have short in.

884
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 3: Our in our life. They're fucking they're my favorite.

885
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 2: Thin mints in the freezer is going off on trifoils,

886
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 2: but just yeah, the producer.

887
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: Producer Victor is second third hour trifoil has completely lost it,

888
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: uh and is saying Trefoil's got that savory butteriness which

889
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: is so funny, that's right, but also really surprisingly sweet,

890
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: like just a fun a big, a big sugar punch,

891
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: which is something that I'm always looking for. I don't

892
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: want any sort of sweet treat that is not going

893
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: to make my teeth hurt. A little bit.

894
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ.

895
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 2: Sorry, I just saw that they were they were retiring

896
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,959
Speaker 2: their smore cookies that were so good.

897
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's exactly where where I want to go

898
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: with this. They're retiring the I'm so bummed about this.

899
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: The s'mores are of all the cookies. They don't seem

900
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: like like they seem you know, they're just sandwich cookies.

901
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: They don't seem like they would be that sweet, but

902
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: they are so packed with sweetness and sugar like they're ah,

903
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: I love I love those s'mores so much cookies, and

904
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: they're on their way out as well as the toast ya.

905
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 3: That is crazy A toast yea.

906
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: I think it was introduced fairly recently, or maybe I

907
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: just found out about it. Like, while this show is

908
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: the thing, the name of the toast ya has baffled me.

909
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: What is it?

910
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 5: Like?

911
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: It seems to be made by somebody who thinks that

912
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: there is like a like, is it supposed to be

913
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: toasty but like the it's.

914
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 2: Toast, Yeah, it's squat toast.

915
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: It does look like a squeak.

916
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 3: Is it supposed to be a call in response like toast?

917
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: Yeah yea, but it's got a dash in between so

918
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: almost like it's single.

919
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: Word that's ah.

920
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: So it's a French toast inspired cookie dipped in delicious.

921
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 3: Icing that looks good.

922
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: It's fluid, it's not bad like I actually think the

923
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: most overrated cookies like the ones that I wouldn't have

924
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: been sad to see. The peanut butter patties I don't

925
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: fuck with. They're like the chocolate covered peanut butter on

926
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: the inside. I just think there's something off with the balance.

927
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it works.

928
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 4: I think they were trying to dodge the Reese's pieces

929
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 4: or the Reese's peanut butter cup allegations, and they just,

930
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 4: you know, Reesa's is just holding down like a market

931
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 4: ratio segment that is going to fuck anyone else that's

932
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 4: trying for chocolate peanut buttery.

933
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: I think like the caramel delights, the thin mints, the trefoils,

934
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: I think are all like goaded should have just not

935
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: touched as well as the s'mores and the toasty is good.

936

00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 2: just tell you that it is.

1002
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 4: I mean, it is for nerds obviously even when I

00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 4: was coming up. But it is shockingly paramilitary and like

00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 2: at smiling nodding on blue sky. Every new restaurant in

1044
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: a major city is either called thistle and Thorn and things.

1045
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 2: Adding turmeric to Brussels sprats makes them worth thirty dollars,

1046
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 2: or it's called burger bitch and as a neon sign

1047
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: in the window that says I'm gonna fuck a Hamberger's

1048
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:31,720

1049
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one. That really got me. Andrew,

1050
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: where can people find you as their working media you've

1051
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: been enjoying?

1052
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, is this racist? Is my podcast?

1053
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 4: I will just say the only media I've consumed is

1054
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 4: this unbelievably hectic signal group called La Fire's Mutual Aid.

1055
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 4: I guess what I will say is please send resources

1056
00:58:55,080 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 4: to California. However, Yeah, like many times of Naturals, I

1057
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 4: think a lot of people's first instinct is like the

1058
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 4: big name brand things, the places like Red Cross or

1059
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 4: you know, Planned Parenthood, and almost always those.

1060
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 3: Are the least helpful places.

1061
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 4: They're already well funded, they are often politically compromised, and

1062
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 4: you know sense it's possible to do your own research truly,

1063
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 4: do like look around, figure out what you actually believe in,

1064
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 4: and you can send money directly to people easier than

1065
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 4: ever before.

1066
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 3: Do I have a specific one?

1067
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 4: I know K Town for All's been doing a ton,

1068
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 4: but you know that's my own personal bias. Because this

1069
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 4: is only going to be happening more and more. The

1070
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 4: name brand in national and international aid organizations tend to

1071
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 4: not be the best place to send your money.

1072
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so do your research. You can find me on

1073

1076

Speaker 1: guard as a Noospatu voice, what is your wife's Instagram?

1077
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: And uh Zach Dunn tweeted water isn't for putting out wildfires.

1078
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: It's for powering a machine that lets me hear what

1079
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: it would sound like if Cartman read my Grandpa's will.

1080
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god, gotta cool.

1081

01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 3: So much server?

1084
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so much server cooling. That could have been done

1085
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: with that water.

1086
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,720
