0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean I actually got really depressed the next day.

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 3>So there's a thing called postpartum book publication because I

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 3>went and looked online and there's a ton of articles

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 3>about it.

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>A lot of build up, and then and then you're

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 1>like having a kid, You're just like, oh, this is it.

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the fun My life hasn't changed overnight. That's pretty much.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's like the same thing I think with

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 2>like working on political campaigns too. That happens to people

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the day after election day because everything is leading up

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to one day and then you get on the other

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>side of it and you're like, what wait, But.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Can you imagine you're on the losing side, because if

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>you're on the winning side, then you could be depressed,

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 3>but at least we won.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, on the winning side, you're kind of like, oh, man,

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I like, I like didn't talk to anyone the last

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>two months to just get through this election or whatever.

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.559
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The book is really amazing, Kyla.

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Jack and I are reading it over the weekend and

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 2>like to one another or into each other's last taking turns,

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>taking turns because Jack doesn't Jack doesn't know about the

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Inland Empire. He doesn't know about what.

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Really, I'm from all over the East coast on Midwest.

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 3>People in California don't even know about the Inland Empire.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>It was a fascinating learning experience. I want to learn

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>about the Inland Empire.

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 2>I know, I had to explain him what the watching gangs?

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Who watching gangsters work?

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean?

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>These are these are all very so cal things. But

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a so.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Called Asian exclusively. Yeah, yeah, not Asian.

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>That's what I loved about the book. I mean, aside

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>from like your very specific experiences, like you know, just

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>dealing with you know, the sort of gender expectations and

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>beauty standards that come along with being not white in America,

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>but like the stuff about just growing up in southern

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>California and just the little details that you put in

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>that were I'm like, it might not be for everyone,

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 2>but every single like high schools like Eduwanda go On,

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>the Heights go On. It was like hitting my brain.

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>I was like watching Yes, it was a special time, right,

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 3>it was all the people from that air are very

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.399
<v Speaker 3>nostalgic about it.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was waiting for one of those Hondas for

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand dollars.

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Made me wish my Yeah. And then like working as

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>an import modeling, like you've had such a just you

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>You've touched every experience. It's a really fascinating book, and

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I think people should definitely check it out, especially for

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the obscure esoteric Asian gang references too.

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 3>You know everything about the important scene which no one's

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>ever heard of either.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, Yeah.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>You learn a lot about parts of the world you

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>might not be familiar with, and you also get inssive

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>analysis of the Little Mermaid.

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so very much.

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I always appreciate.

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I was just in Copenhagen looking at that statue.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Really underwhelming, really yeah, well yeah, so many people are like,

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.119
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna go see it, and they're like, it's tiny.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>It's not like some Disney Yeah, no, it nearly is.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 2>It's oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's no. I think

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>American people who are like Little Mermaid statue and they go,

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 2>what is this like art piece? You know what I

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 2>meant at the shore of the water. Yeah. The one

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>thing that also really touched my brain was too is

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.559
<v Speaker 2>like sort of I think this happens especially with kids

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 2>of color in America, especially in like the late eighties

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>and nineties, like who do I model my life after?

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 2>On TV? Like I don't have an example, and like,

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>especially for me being black in Japanese, like there was

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>certainly no like black and eese person for me to

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 2>look up to. So I'd be like, so you can

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 2>do karate man or you can do basketball gangster, and

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>like trying to figure out like sort of parsing through

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>all those things and like trying to land on who

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 2>you are and what you know, Like it's like am

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I who I am? Or am I this version of

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 2>like who do I select from from the available? Like

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 2>characters on TV. I was like a combination of like

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith. I was mostly like Will Smith. I think

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith was like because I was like, I wasn't

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 2>full of myself. I wasn't a tough guy, so I

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>was never like trying to put on some like tough

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>kid persona.

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Although trying to get into watching.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>No, they wouldn't have me, you know, they should be

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 2>like you might you look like maybe you would be

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>an sts the Filipino gang they were having me watching.

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, like I was just like just all of

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>these things. It's it's interesting just to see how you know,

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>universal that kind of experience it especially for like kids

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 2>of immigrants or just you know, like non white kids

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 2>in the US. So yeah, just all over just really

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>really fun and read aside from just like the very

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>serious stuff too, which I thought was really poignant.

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just all the ways that you know, the gap

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>between your per like your existence as a human being

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>with an inner life, and then the way often white

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>men will talk to you.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh have you heard of the Asian fetish being a

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:07.719

<v Speaker 1>My wife literally had a policy of like she didn't

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.840

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And she had hurt, like she was like and

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.800

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>into blondes, and I'm like not really. But it was

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>funny because as I was like talking to her about

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the book, she like, all these conversations that she had had,

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>we're coming up. So yeah, super fascinating.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Some men are very weird the things they feel very

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 3>comfortable saying, yes.

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, yes, they live in a consequence free world.

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>What is something from your search history that's revealing about

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 2>who you are?

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So a recent thing for my search history is

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 5>did Christopher Columbus have sex with a manatee? So there's

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 5>apparently like they have all of his journals from his

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 5>like kind of travels around the world, and there's like

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 5>a specific entry where he talks about how he thinks

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 5>he saw a bunch of mermaids and then he says

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 5>like they're not quite as beautiful as I thought they

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 5>would be.

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 2>There, a little lumpy.

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.599
<v Speaker 5>And it's like, clearly they were amanatees. So my question is,

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 5>why isn't that in a prager?

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 2>You sure?

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's just right there, yeah, oh my god,

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>wondering just and chin stroking. They aren't like from Afar

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>then is beautiful.

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 5>It's like not horrified. It's just like, yeah, I look,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 5>I thought they'd be a ten, but they're like an eight.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>So the other who's been at sea for like three months,

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>just you know, debilitatingly horny. It's it's that if you've

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>seen that movie The Lighthouse, where a big plot point

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>is that Robert Pattinson like carves a naked woman out

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of a piece of rock and then like keeps jacking

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>off to it's like becomes enchanted by it.

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I really think that is. I think that's what we

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 2>were dealing with for the majority of human history, people

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>whose brains were broken by their unbelievable horniness.

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 5>When to answer the question, did Christopher Columbus have sex

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 5>with the manager, the answer is yeah, probably, Yeah, have

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 5>a lot of research. It's like, you know, chances are

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 5>you know.

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Just him being like they're not as pretty as I thought,

0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 2>has me think that there's a there's a dot dot

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 2>at the end of that sentence. Yeah, but second he's like,

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:09.439
<v Speaker 2>scratched it out, nothing, nothing but leave me alone. I'm

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>writing my journals.

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Came to realize all at once that they weren't as

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 1>beautiful as they seemed at first. I don't know what

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>it was that changed, but we were in close quarters

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and suddenly I was understood.

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I understood the beauty. Wow that is I mean,

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, yeah, if we can't get enough people

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 2>to cancel the idea of Christopher Columbus for the era

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 2>of untold you know, colonialism that he ushered in with

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>his his explorer, his explorations, maybe it's him fucking amanity

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>that can get some people like, oh, he fucked humanity.

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>He was writing that in his journal while riding on

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:53.479
<v Speaker 2>the back. No, I said, he fucked humanity, right.

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.199
<v Speaker 5>I gotta say, Okay, so I'm you know, as a

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 5>Native person, I'm obviously very for Indigenous People's Day. But

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 5>I say, after reading this, I'm not opposed to Columbus

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 5>Day being a holiday. I just think instead of it

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 5>being in October, it should be January tenth, which is

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 5>the date in his journal where he may be the date.

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Wait and why this day young man journals? Will you

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 2>see what is something you think is underrated?

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Underrated? Okay, this is really dumb. But for years and

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 4>years and years I have been driving around without a

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 4>phone holder in my car. Uh huh, and I just

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 4>got I just got one. And we're not talking about

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 4>these things enough. It's amazing decades, Oh my god. Like literally,

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 4>I want to say, the last time I had one

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 4>was probably six ish, more more than five years ago,

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 4>maybe even significantly more so. It really is the type

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 4>of thing where I'm like, wow, I literally have the

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 4>The other day driver is like, my phone's right there.

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Just right there, it's just look down.

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god. So anyway, I think those little pieces

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 4>of plastic are pretty underrated.

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Prior to that, you were just driving around with it

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 2>in front of your face, with holding it up in

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>front of your face an exact same spot where the

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 2>holder would be.

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and I had a couple of phones. I have

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 4>the Android item all. I had like a real Goldberg

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 4>machine pro, dash cam, all of it. Yeah, but now

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I just have the one holder. Yeah.

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, always a boxing glove and a that's connected to

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a wheel somehow.

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like on a plunger.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I'm that like spins for it and kicks something.

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Usually I'm usually driving down Banana Peel Lane.

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>And is it a phone holder that connects into the

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>air conditioning vent.

0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but it is also one that has enough space

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 4>so that it it's like I can still feel the

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 4>air from that. Then.

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's it. Sounds like you got a good one out.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I gotta.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Search Reddit you search readit to figure out what's one

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 2>to get? No, that one.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 4>I just took that one. I just took a stab

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 4>in the dard because I think what I think what

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 4>happened was the phone foul or something. I was like,

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 4>let me just get one of these fucking things right now.

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.600

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, phone holder for a car, and then you just

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:36.880

<v Speaker 2>So there you go.

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:43.280

<v Speaker 6>already revealed so much on this show over the last decade.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 6>I have one weighted, like six pound bear that is

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 6>sort of like a weighted blanket that I sleep with.

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 6>And then I have one stuffed animal from my childhood

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 6>named Gerilli that I have recently brought from my parents'

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 6>house up to here because it was like a thing

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 6>with me and my brother. So that's like a little

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 6>comfort thing. So at the current moment, I have two.

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 2>In my oka. I thought you were like low key,

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 2>like you really into stuff.

<v Speaker 1>He's no miles.

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 6>That'd be freaky, okay, just because I researched octopuses for

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 6>several hours.

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.680

<v Speaker 1>I turns around in just a roomful of stuff to

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>animals just watching Blair.

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 2>She has them all set up like it looks like

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 2>a comedy club audience. They all have to have drinks

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and food. Little flickering should be.

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 6>Really funny to do a special to that.

0:15:58.640 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you should do that.

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 6>I'll I'll give you writing credit.

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 2>You know you have to just invite us. That's well,

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>but we would have to like hide behind.

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 6>Is you know you have to be inside stage.

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll wait and the wings going with my hands

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 2>cushed with the splayer. You're doing it. You're doing it.

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Put in the hospital if I did that?

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Pro Wait, do you know do you have contemporaries that

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>are fucking with bos? Oh?

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, a lot of them and actually like a few

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 6>of my favorite people. So no shade to them if

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 6>they listen to this. I support you in your freaky

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 6>ass like endevas, but I think they're weird and I

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 6>would never participate no matter what.

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 2>And they should be ashamed of themselves. The weighted stuff

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to bear that kind of acts as a way to blanket.

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Does it lay on you face down or face up?

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Jock, I'm just trying to get that here,

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 2>just like I'm trying podcast.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 3>This kind of perverted us question.

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Like a face down?

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 6>Which way my weighted up bear is face I don't know.

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like picturing a bear like laying face down, life,

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 2>asking is it north to south? What are we talking about? Ahead?

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's on my chest usually or in my

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 6>or I'm craddling it.

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 2>You know what, six pounds. I feel like that's like

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I get a blanket because that weight is distributed pretty eagerly.

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 2>That's just like just having one of contact of.

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:38.920

<v Speaker 2>Blairsckey Triple Crown.

<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, very weird, girl. Let's Uh, let's take a quick

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:42.720
<v Speaker 2>break and we'll be right back.

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And we're back, and yeah, there's a new gallop pole

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.679
<v Speaker 1>that says the capital is is at a they started

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 1>asking about this, They didn't even think to ask about

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>this until twenty ten.

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>They're like, wait, do we like capitalism?

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Is this a good thing? And back then, uh, sixty

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>one percent of people approved of capitalism. And then they

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>were like, and fucking why not ask what do you

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>think of socialism? And back then thirty six percent of

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>people approved of socialism. So since then, capitalism has slid

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:36.479
<v Speaker 1>seven percentage points, socialism has gone up three percentage points.

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Socialism's fighting a fucking tough uphill battle in the United States, But.

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Why do you way to put that tough uphill battle

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 2>against those propagandized people on the PA. I do like,

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 2>just think this is worth noting. Like we're we're bombarded.

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:57.119
<v Speaker 1>With news and daily realities that make it seem like

0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:01.239
<v Speaker 1>this version of capitalism is like unceasing, an unbeatable and

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll be here forever. But I do think that's at

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>least partially it feels that way because we're inside the

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:13.479
<v Speaker 1>propaganda machine four capitalism. You know, they will cover like

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the the local news covers like doorbuster sales, like their

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:22.359
<v Speaker 1>sporting events, and then they like won't cover the fact that,

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.639
<v Speaker 1>like a local corporation or like a local country club

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>has been caught poisoning your water supply.

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, how long has that one lady been in

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:31.719
<v Speaker 2>line for PlayStation?

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you see black you see black Friday videos of

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:36.880
<v Speaker 5>like an old lady getting stabbed over a PS five

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 5>as like the person of the stabbings of the hero.

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Crazy.

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 2>These people are about Dealsers will be like, my kid's

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 2>been talking about that too. I mean, I get it,

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I get it. You're like, what about the poisoned water? Yeah?

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, One thing I just want to highlight that you

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 5>brought up is, like it is so twenty ten, their

0:22:56.680 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 5>positive ratings for capitalism is sixty one percent. Now it's

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 5>fifty four percent. That means that since twenty ten, after

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 5>multiple financial collapses, record highunemployment, price increases, CEOs having so

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 5>much money that they're literally building multimillion dollar doomsday bunkers,

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 5>only seven percent of people have been like, wait a second,

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 5>capitalism has given me second thoughts.

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that's where like the people's probably

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 2>definitely they probably like that people are asking, like I

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 2>don't even know the definition.

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like we do, like what do you think of water?

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just yah, yeah I love it?

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Do I love it? Or just like it?

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Like is it bad? They're like asking

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 2>the polster is it bad? Well, no, I'm asking you that. Oh.

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:43.919
<v Speaker 1>But even like the people who don't know to be like,

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm slightly less enthusiastic about capitalism, Like I feel like

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing these little things like the Zorin story, which

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.479
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, the not the story the actual event,

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 1>which has the story of the event of his like

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, shocking political win has been like this guy

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:11.400
<v Speaker 1>might be a very talented politician. It's like treated as

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.400
<v Speaker 1>like a lightning bolt out of the clear blue sky. Oh,

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:18.920
<v Speaker 1>instead of exactly what you would expect to happen. If

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, you live in a world where every fucking

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:28.280

<v Speaker 1>there is a thing happening that like, you know, people

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:45.000

<v Speaker 1>them that like something is wrong around them. They might

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>not know the exact wording for it, but I do

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.240

<v Speaker 2>He has a Boeing seven twenty seven. I'm just wondering, now,

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 2>what do you need a commercial five airliner four.

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 7>Good question, huh handy when you've got powerful friends to

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:38.200
<v Speaker 7>fly around. Oh when Bill Clinton organized a week longer.

0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 2>So fucking disturbing.

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 7>His personal seven twenty seven.

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow Wow wow, wow, Wow.

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>That's where we're coming from. Yeah, yeah, exactly, so we're

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:52.360
<v Speaker 1>making progress. I think everybody like from that point of view,

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>where like that was just the steady buzz in the

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 1>background was just like this guy's cool, he's a billionaire.

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.400
<v Speaker 1>To like, now we get to see what actually goes

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 1>on behind the scenes of somebody like that.

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 5>I do gotta say, I think that this video is

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 5>showing me what Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein have done together,

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:12.479
<v Speaker 5>and that's they're just trading ideas, guys idea.

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:19.919
<v Speaker 2>It's just ideaway man on an idea. Who needs a plane?

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 2>That song song deep Dig, A little fucking deep? Why

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 2>why do you buy us? School? I know, it's like

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 2>funny that they like kind of there are all these

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:29.879
<v Speaker 2>like heap question.

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's no way, like during the research for

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the segment didn't encounter, for instance, that one of those

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 1>planes was nicknamed the low lead.

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 2>To Express, Right, I'm the lor Leader Express. I wonder

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 2>what's going on there? Or just answering that question like

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 2>why why does he need a plane that big? Anyway?

0:28:50.080 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Moving on, So those just things that people can't deny

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that they're saying with their own eyes.

0:28:56.280 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Are well, he was charged a year before this episod

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 2>so their is that really hard? Criminal charges in Palm

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Beach in two thousand and six. This shit came out

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and seven. But hey, look he's got money,

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and that's the same thing. Like it wouldn't

0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 2>have even mattered because that shows like this were just

0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 2>purely focused on we look at all the money, look

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 2>at what money do that. Of course they're like, I

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know, freaking ignore the charges. He's Bill Clinton's friend,

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 2>he's got a jet.

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I feel like that that's not too far

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 1>from where our current even mainstream media would like to

0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:33.280
<v Speaker 1>keep things like oh yeah, they're just like, yeah, you know,

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 1>it's fun. They're billionaires, man, who knows what goes on there?

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>And then when somebody like is actually like capitalism might

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>be bad, we should like do some things to push

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:47.040
<v Speaker 1>back against it. They're like, shock election result, what the

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>these people must be watching must be brainwashed by the

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>new Jurassic Park movie.

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 5>As we talked about their reaction, I am brainwashed by

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 5>your Jurassic Park movie.

0:29:56.720 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that is fair.

0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Those are explanation for the Zorammdani. When is uh all

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 1>these people must be you know, it's from watching all

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>these Hollywood movies with socialist message.

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 2>They're like, they think he's a velociraptor. I better vote

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 2>for him. I don't want him to attack me. But yeah,

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean like this goes along with like you know,

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 2>in the US now, our rights are just rapidly eroding,

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and we have an administration that is just hell bent

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 2>on redefining what freedom even means in like any context

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 2>for every person. And luckily we have an ill equipped,

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 2>naive and frightened opposition party in the Democrats, to essentially

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 2>piss themselves as they pray for some kind of well

0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 2>timed blood clot to happen.

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that's all they've got right now. Oh you

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 1>currently the mainstream you.

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 5>Know who I think is going to solve all this

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:46.040
<v Speaker 5>this Cuomo?

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Chris Cuomo Andrew get the younger Cuomo, the

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:56.280
<v Speaker 2>cooler one. But yeah, they're currently the Democratic Party is

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 2>just ever since election day, they have just been chugging

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 2>advice on being more centrist as a way to fight

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 2>back and win voters, and it's essentially operating on the

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>same like bullshit idea that like fighting for people's rights

0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 2>forcefully was too woke and not even forcefully, I shouldn't

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>even say that that merely talking about the lack of

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 2>rights people have in this country was too woke and

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:22.239
<v Speaker 2>cost them the election. And they're saying that, look, we

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:24.160
<v Speaker 2>just need to go back to the status quote talking

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:27.960
<v Speaker 2>points in language. So in Politico they got this memo

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>that was shared that was being circulated amongst democratic circles

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 2>from this you know, centrist democrat think tank, the Third Way,

0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and they're just a terrible organization, and they their whole

0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 2>thing is like they put out a list of forty

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 2>five work quote forty five words and phrases they want

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Democrats to avoid using, alleging the terms a quote wall

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 2>between us and everyday people of all races, religions and ethnicities.

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a set of words that the Third Way suggests

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 2>quote people simply do not say. Yet they hear them

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 2>from Democrats right, these terms. It's all messaging, man, It's

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 2>it's got to be messaging. It can't be the thing

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 2>that they're saying. It has to be how they're saying it.

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I just think it's funny that essentially what they're

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 5>saying is like, look, you can talk about whatever you want.

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:16.719
<v Speaker 5>We just think could be really make Middle America more

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:18.960
<v Speaker 5>up in your ideas if you sprinkled a few slurs

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 5>and yeah like that or some f bombs.

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean a lot of these terms just think sound

0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>like things that wealthy people who are in control if

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 2>things are tired of hearing about. Is what it sounds like.

0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, and I mean some of it, like stakeholders.

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind if people stopped saying stakeholders all the time.

0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 5>But like you know, I think the only thing my

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:44.760
<v Speaker 5>friends are talking about stakeholders stakeholder.

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 1>That's like business speak. Yeah, yeah, that's like CEO talk.

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Here are some of the terms, Okay, privilege, violence as

0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 2>in environmental violence dialogue, just like the things that they

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 2>have that they're being accused of. Yeah, yeah, triggering, othering, microaggression,

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 2>holding space, body shaming, subverting norms, what subverting norms? Systems,

0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 2>systems of oppression? Culture? About that, dude, cultural appropriation.

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 8>We gotta shot the overtin window, existential threads to the climate, democracy, economy,

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 8>radical transparency, stakeholders, the unhoused, food insecurity, housing insecurity people,

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 8>person who immigrated, birthing person cisgender dead naming, heteronormative patriarchy.

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Lgbt Q i A plus, bipoc ally ship, incarcerated people,

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:47.520
<v Speaker 2>involuntary confinement. That's just a that's just a little sample

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of what they're they're talking about. Like it sounds like

0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 2>also a lot of these things are tied to, you know,

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 2>societal ills that we're trying to wrect.

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 5>I think that that's like part of my issue is

0:33:57.280 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 5>like is it is it that they don't like the

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 5>word useag or they just like stop talking about LGBTQ

0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 5>issues in bipoc people, you know, Right.

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 2>It depends on your flavor, you know what I mean. Like,

0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:10.480
<v Speaker 2>this is one of the third way executives said, quote,

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:12.640
<v Speaker 2>we are doing our best to get Democrats to talk

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 2>like normal people and stop talking like they're leading a

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 2>seminar at Antioch. Right. We think language is one of

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the more of the central problems we face with normy

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 2>voters signaling that we are out of touch with how

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 2>they live, think and talk. Okay, First of all, they

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:30.640
<v Speaker 2>offer no alternate options for how to speaking, so what

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.279
<v Speaker 2>are you fucking saying? Also, let's be more direct and

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 2>actually address the problems that are.

0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Facing these things. Maybe I could get behind that and

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 1>like just use normal words to do it, because I

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>do think like in some way, in the same way

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:45.319
<v Speaker 1>we talk about like obscure language being used to like

0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:48.799
<v Speaker 1>make it so that economic shit is like confusing and

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you can't understand what's going on, I do feel like

0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 1>sometimes people use like obscure language to academics, Yeah yeah,

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 1>academic things, academic language to address these things that are

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.960
<v Speaker 1>actually like problems that they don't plan on addressing.

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 5>It seems like basically what they're asking for is instead

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 5>of saying the unhoused have food insecurity, you should say

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 5>bums be hungy.

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly. It's truly like they like they're basically freaked

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 2>out by people saying trans people deserve rights and like

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that we stopped again calling unhoused people bums and hobos

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:24.839
<v Speaker 2>or some shit, right, And I look, I agree there

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.200
<v Speaker 2>is something cringe about hearing certain democrats evoke kind of

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 2>like this language, But it's not because like I don't

0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:35.080
<v Speaker 2>think this is a uh, this isn't a vernacular issue. Okay,

0:35:35.120 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 2>this is like a fucking authenticity issue because when the

0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:42.239
<v Speaker 2>people bring stuff up like food insecurity or inequality, housing inequality,

0:35:42.440 --> 0:35:44.520
<v Speaker 2>I think the fact that they like they're not even

0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:48.239
<v Speaker 2>putting forward policies that even remotely address these things, Yeah,

0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:51.319
<v Speaker 2>it just sounds hollow. So more than that, people are like,

0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 2>they say stuff like Dud's bullshit. People are just tired

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 2>of hearing them say shit they don't actually follow through

0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.520
<v Speaker 2>on because plenty of people if you said we need

0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, you need to make houses cheaper or address

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:06.200
<v Speaker 2>housing insecurity or food, people are like, yeah, that's right,

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:10.400
<v Speaker 2>that's intersecting with my life. And again, I think the

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 2>times we're in right now, it calls for like a

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:15.839
<v Speaker 2>radical departure from the status quo, which again is something

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:17.840
<v Speaker 2>this party is fatally committed to.

0:36:18.520 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, it does feel like there is something

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 5>to the idea of like being like, you know, being

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:24.919
<v Speaker 5>a little bit more relatable and how that you talk.

0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 5>You know, like that's why like one of the reasons

0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 5>people have Tim Walls so much is that like he

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 5>seems like a dude. But it's like it doesn't feel

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:32.480
<v Speaker 5>like the purpose of this is that. It feels like

0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:34.480
<v Speaker 5>the purpose of this is just like stop stop talking

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:35.319
<v Speaker 5>about trans rites.

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, like, yeah, well, what they're doing is because

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 2>you hear all the time the talk about quote the

0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 2>groups is how the establishment Democratic Party talks about They

0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 2>talk about activism, and they say the groups they're getting

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 2>up our ass about fucking not defending the environment or

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:55.480
<v Speaker 2>climate degradation or you know, addressing unhoused people. It's like,

0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:58.240
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, they're so noisy. So this is basically

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 2>saying get rid of And these are all the groups.

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.800
<v Speaker 2>The people who are talking about radical transparency in our government,

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:08.000
<v Speaker 2>that's an activist group. There's an activist block talking about

0:37:08.880 --> 0:37:12.359
<v Speaker 2>systems of oppression. That's group talk. Cultural appropriate that I'm

0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:14.920
<v Speaker 2>tired of hearing from people of color about this. Let's

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:17.920
<v Speaker 2>we don't like, let's exclude them. And that's how this reads.

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not about actually addressing any of this shit. Yeah,

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 2>and like with policy, because yeah, you can I can

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 2>totally see how you can say, let's stop saying housing insecurity,

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:31.759
<v Speaker 2>let's say affordable housing, or like, hey, let's make shit

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 2>cheaper to talk about the right, and you know, like

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 2>There's a tweet where some centrist dem was like crying

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 2>over the fact that progressives had like a charismatic candidate

0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:44.879
<v Speaker 2>in Zorn Mumdani, and like they're like, We're like, why

0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:48.960
<v Speaker 2>can't we have someone that captures the public's imagination like

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 2>Zorin does but for centrism they said that shit like

0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they do.

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:57.560
<v Speaker 5>And whenever I think of his ideas, I'm like, wow,

0:37:57.719 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 5>thanks for painting the picture, dude.

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah wow, so fucking sucks and good yeah, like, hey,

0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:08.080
<v Speaker 2>fuck with read the fucking room. People aren't following Mamdani

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:12.279
<v Speaker 2>because he's like Riz Khalifa out here just activating people's Like,

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 2>it's because he's passionate about talking about fucking inequality and

0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:20.560
<v Speaker 2>some of the policy prescriptions people can actually connect in

0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 2>their brains to how it will affect their own lives,

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:23.400
<v Speaker 2>rather than be.

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Like, can we find somebody with the suave charisma of

0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders?

0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:32.880
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about? It's just he just says

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the thing that people want to be said.

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter how he fucking says it.

0:38:39.560 --> 0:38:43.400
<v Speaker 2>He's just saying the thing. Yeah. There's just like there's

0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:46.080
<v Speaker 2>even like another quote from one of these think tank

0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 2>people where they're just like, you know, like the so

0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 2>much of it. Essentially, like the way to push back

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:56.280
<v Speaker 2>against Republicans is to first agree with their flawed premise

0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:59.399
<v Speaker 2>that they're putting out to debate over, agree with that,

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and then debate within that flawed premise or that context

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 2>that actually speaking truth to power, like that's their whole thing.

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.840
<v Speaker 2>So like, for example, that the federal siege of DC,

0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 2>they're like, well, we don't want people are gonna get

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 2>the idea that Democrats don't care about crime if they're

0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 2>against what Trump is saying. Because Trump is saying they're

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 2>going in because of the crime. It's like, but that's bullshit,

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 2>that's not why you're there. Be very easy to point

0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 2>that out exactly. I would say that they're shifting the

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Overton window, but I don't want the Democratic police to

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 2>arrest me. It's just so wild too. It's like, yeah,

0:39:36.160 --> 0:39:38.520
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna police speech as a way to yeah, right,

0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 2>recapture our voice. That's more realistic in line, It's like,

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:43.879
<v Speaker 2>do they really think too that people who don't live

0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:47.799
<v Speaker 2>in like metropolitan areas or like larger cities aren't being

0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:52.440
<v Speaker 2>affected by things like housing, insecurity, or food insecurity.

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Like that's just city talk or some shit. Joey, could

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:56.279
<v Speaker 1>you translate that for me?

0:39:56.520 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, hobos be hungy.

0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the boat sorry, bo's be hung. That was a

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Republican thing. Now actually I think that way. Are you

0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:09.560
<v Speaker 2>running for Senate because I could, You've got my boat.

0:40:10.600 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 2>This guy tells it like it is like so fucking wild.

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:16.480
<v Speaker 2>And again, like we talk all the time about crime,

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:19.720
<v Speaker 2>it's like like conceding this idea or seeing this idea

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:22.280
<v Speaker 2>like crime is just a thing like people of color

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:25.319
<v Speaker 2>do in cities, rather than being like, you know, this

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 2>is like the result of having no financial recourse or

0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:30.680
<v Speaker 2>stability in your communities, like you have to resort to

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:34.160
<v Speaker 2>like extra legal options to do things like that. That

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:36.560
<v Speaker 2>that's one thing, but again that's a headier idea of

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:38.440
<v Speaker 2>to wrap your head around, and I think that's what

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 2>they're also trying to like avoid generally. It's like we

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:44.239
<v Speaker 2>can't we can't just stop, we can't keep explaining these

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 2>kinds of things. Fine, but you can still you can

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 2>still espouse these same values in a way that maybe

0:40:51.200 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 2>doesn't sound as academic to just say, like stop talking

0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 2>about this at all. I think just really sort of

0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:59.719
<v Speaker 2>reveals that their whole thing is like we're trying to

0:40:59.760 --> 0:41:02.360
<v Speaker 2>haul all progress here. We're trying to literally need to

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:03.640
<v Speaker 2>go back to like nineteen eighty eight.

0:41:04.000 --> 0:41:09.359
<v Speaker 1>You've had the charismatic people for centrism. You had you know,

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama. He was so charismatic. He used the language

0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of the left with like hope and change, and you know,

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:23.000
<v Speaker 1>just had the energy of somebody that was actually going

0:41:23.040 --> 0:41:27.279
<v Speaker 1>to change things. And then he laundered that energy into

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:31.080
<v Speaker 1>fucking you know, centrism that didn't go anywhere. So now

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's like, you know, people who have had

0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 1>we've had that before, and now we're inoculated against it

0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't fucking work anymore. Yeah, So like that's

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:44.439
<v Speaker 1>why there's no more like everybody lived through that. There's

0:41:44.480 --> 0:41:49.160
<v Speaker 1>like a major financial crisis. He swept to power with

0:41:49.239 --> 0:41:52.160
<v Speaker 1>like language of like hope and change, and like you know,

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:57.479
<v Speaker 1>then proceeded to bail out big banks, and now people

0:41:57.560 --> 0:42:00.400
<v Speaker 1>are like kind of inoculated against that. So that there's

0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:02.880
<v Speaker 1>your fucking problem, and now you actually have to do

0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the fucking change, uh, and less less on the hope.

0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 5>I think I've got an answer to all of this,

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:13.360
<v Speaker 5>and that's getting the endorsement of Megan McCain.

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Triangulation if Megan McCain likes it, right, Megan McCain, Oh,

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 2>how hard do you think.

0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 1>They're lobbying Barack Obama to run again in the next election.

0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel like just to be like, fucking all bets

0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 2>are off, you know, yeah, yeah, you can do it.

0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you do it? Yeah?

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's probably where we're headed. Like, if

0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:41.240
<v Speaker 1>they have their way, obviously, I couldn't imagine.

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.360
<v Speaker 5>How do you think they're lobbying for Joe Biden to

0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:46.399
<v Speaker 5>run again? You only got one term, you can get

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:46.879
<v Speaker 5>another one.

0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Saying I'm just saying, with Obama as vice president, we're

0:42:53.400 --> 0:42:56.280
<v Speaker 2>look into the future and Obama's your main Surian candidate.

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:59.440
<v Speaker 2>If Biden goes down that you get Obama again. Biden

0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:02.399
<v Speaker 2>goes oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Obama might have had two

0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:05.320
<v Speaker 2>terms as president. He said zero terms this vice president.

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:10.399
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back,

0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:22.320
<v Speaker 9>and we're back.

0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's so many reasons this might be one

0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:28.000
<v Speaker 2>of our last gentlemen, It's been a privilege and an

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:32.359
<v Speaker 2>honor podcasting with you this evening. Yeah, now get out

0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:33.360
<v Speaker 2>our violins.

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, can just play like shit because I don't know

0:43:36.960 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 1>how to play the violin.

0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:42.240
<v Speaker 2>That would be amazing if like one of the people

0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:44.919
<v Speaker 2>was just like, sorry, I'm freaking out a little bit.

0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Sorry.

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Also I'm not very good.

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Do you know this? The fucking ship is really listing?

0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, are we still gonna play? My hands are

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:58.560
<v Speaker 2>so fucking sweaty right now. How are you guys playing?

0:43:59.000 --> 0:44:00.680
<v Speaker 4>Does they won't have an scored?

0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it'd be much easier if I can just play something,

0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:08.239
<v Speaker 2>some kind some chamber of music. But yeah, I only

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:12.919
<v Speaker 2>say that and maybe flippantly, maybe sincerely because AI. I mean,

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:15.080
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like they're gearing up to take over the

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 2>podcasting world because the Hollywood Reporter recently had a piece

0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:22.600
<v Speaker 2>where they spoke with the people behind Inception AI, and

0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:25.879
<v Speaker 2>they make just a fuck ton of AI podcasts. I'll

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:27.919
<v Speaker 2>get to the numbers in a second. And they try

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:30.600
<v Speaker 2>to frame this article like in the beginning, like, god,

0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:33.280
<v Speaker 2>are people aren't like networks tired of paying like humans

0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:38.080
<v Speaker 2>to talk, or like paying celebrities like these crazy deals?

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I do get what's the.

0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Most appointing, what's the most annoying part of podcasts having.

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the worst fucking part, am I right, ladies, this

0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:55.440
<v Speaker 2>year is so random. But anyway, the CEO of this

0:44:55.880 --> 0:44:59.600
<v Speaker 2>AI company is a former exec from Wondery, another podcast network,

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and the Jack alluded to her like Facebook post that

0:45:03.560 --> 0:45:06.200
<v Speaker 2>she put it out to like announce this thing. Hey,

0:45:06.200 --> 0:45:08.520

<v Speaker 2>stealth and share the public debut of Inception Point AI,

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I can join as a co founder.

0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it's because someone with a fuck ton

<v Speaker 2>of money goes, Hey, we'd love for you to be

0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:36.279

0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:47.600
<v Speaker 2>that phrase emerge from stealth before, but goddamn little little

0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 2>wonky use of that word. Thrilled to take off my

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 2>ghost protocol hood and reveal that I'm that I've joined

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:59.920
<v Speaker 2>an AI podcast company goes on. As Jack said, we

0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:02.680
<v Speaker 2>believe that in the near future, half of the people

0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 2>on the planet will be AI. That's when my eyes

0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:07.520
<v Speaker 2>rolled into the back of my head and I go,

0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 2>we're cooked that You if their people sip in the

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 2>AI kool aid? This hard? I mean, fucking yikes. She

0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 2>goes on to say, we're bringing these people to life,

0:46:18.200 --> 0:46:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and we're bringing the next generation content business model, all

0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:23.960
<v Speaker 2>powered by AI. In the process, we built what we

0:46:24.080 --> 0:46:27.920
<v Speaker 2>believe could be the first AI talent management agency with

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:31.960
<v Speaker 2>an extensive roster of fake ass people we created with algorithms.

0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:34.480
<v Speaker 4>And that's that's been a thing already too.

0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, we've had these voices, these voice models being

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.520
<v Speaker 2>created and things like that, but now they're really trying

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to like brand each one and be like and they

0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:45.719
<v Speaker 2>do all kinds of stuff. So their whole model is

0:46:45.800 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 2>essentially to flood the zone with shit podcasts, but because

0:46:49.560 --> 0:46:52.160
<v Speaker 2>their overhead is so low, they can make a profit

0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:55.520
<v Speaker 2>on a laughably small number of listens. This is from

0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the higher report quote. The company is able to produce

0:46:57.680 --> 0:47:00.480
<v Speaker 2>each episode for one dollar or less, depending on length

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:04.560
<v Speaker 2>and complexity, and attached programmatic advertising to it. This generally

0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 2>means that if about twenty people listen to that episode.

0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:10.600
<v Speaker 2>The company made a profit on that episode without factoring

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:14.359
<v Speaker 2>in overhead inception. Point Air has already made more than

0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:19.080
<v Speaker 2>five thousand shows across its network and produces more than

0:47:19.200 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 2>three thousand episodes a week. Wow, and yeah been up

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 2>for like a couple of years, which does again beg

0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 2>the question of joining as a co founder two years in.

0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:36.279
<v Speaker 2>It's good negotiating tactic. Really, I'm going to see.

0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:40.200
<v Speaker 1>This being just like like a nonstarter because I do

0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 1>think that the thing people look for from podcasts is humanity.

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:46.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like a thing that like they're not just necessarily

0:47:47.000 --> 0:47:49.840
<v Speaker 1>looking for like some quick way to get a voice

0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:52.719
<v Speaker 1>facts shoveled into their brain. I think a lot of

0:47:52.760 --> 0:47:55.799
<v Speaker 1>the time you could read an article if you wanted that,

0:47:56.239 --> 0:47:57.480
<v Speaker 1>or like have an article.

0:47:57.160 --> 0:47:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Read to you.

0:47:58.000 --> 0:48:01.320
<v Speaker 1>But I could also see that is kind of ruining

0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:04.600
<v Speaker 1>things because they're going to be flooding the zone with

0:48:04.760 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 1>so much shit.

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:09.000
<v Speaker 4>That's the that's the part right there, that's the Amazon thing.

0:48:09.520 --> 0:48:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's going to be so many bad podcasts indistinguishable

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:21.760
<v Speaker 1>from our bad podcast but completely you know, flooding everything.

0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 2>There will be like five different podcasts.

0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:25.520
<v Speaker 1>The good news is like, this is not how people

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.239
<v Speaker 1>like people don't find podcasts by being like, all right,

0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go to uh ai and search for

0:48:33.160 --> 0:48:36.120
<v Speaker 1>a topic that I think I want to know about,

0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, people find out about podcasts and

0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:41.040
<v Speaker 1>then become followers.

0:48:41.120 --> 0:48:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Some do, apparent according to them, apparently because their whole

0:48:44.520 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 2>thing set up is cool. Podcast topics are selected with

0:48:47.080 --> 0:48:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the help of a based on Google and social media trends,

0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:52.960
<v Speaker 2>and then the team may launch five different versions of

0:48:53.000 --> 0:48:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the show with different titles to see what performs the best.

0:48:56.719 --> 0:49:00.840
<v Speaker 2>The podcasts are often titled after simple seos search terms,

0:49:00.880 --> 0:49:05.520
<v Speaker 2>such as Wales, Wales, Yeah, it's I was. I went

0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to One of our most popular episode is Whales is Whales?

0:49:11.120 --> 0:49:11.880
<v Speaker 4>They got whales?

0:49:12.360 --> 0:49:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, I went to there. I went to their

0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:18.880
<v Speaker 2>website to just look at what their shows are called,

0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:23.239
<v Speaker 2>and it's shipped like this diddy verdict the British monarchy,

0:49:25.160 --> 0:49:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Like this one's crazy AI and the climate crisis. Are

0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:30.520
<v Speaker 2>you fucking serious You're.

0:49:30.680 --> 0:49:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Doing it with AI and thus contributing to the climate crisis?

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:49:35.960 --> 0:49:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Like what is that one talking about the assassins?

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Bourbon Betty Betty, Benny Boop, Chaos, Chuck MANGIONI Forever China,

0:49:50.200 --> 0:49:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Communism creating, there's Creatine. Are these all podcasts? Are these

0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:00.600
<v Speaker 2>episodes of the podcast? These are series? Tell me a one,

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll click on it and we can here, we can

0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:02.880
<v Speaker 2>listen to one.

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't want to hear socialism.

0:50:06.800 --> 0:50:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh this socialism where they take it down. Okay, let's see.

0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:12.880
<v Speaker 2>This is uh, this is this is here what they got. Oh,

0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not signing up you fucking oh yeah, you need

0:50:15.520 --> 0:50:16.080
<v Speaker 2>to pay for it.

0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:20.239
<v Speaker 10>Let's see, which simply means I never forget a vote,

0:50:20.320 --> 0:50:23.720
<v Speaker 10>a quote, or a constitutional clause. This is no ego,

0:50:24.360 --> 0:50:29.280
<v Speaker 10>no pack money, just pure relentless recall. Tonight, we're tackling

0:50:29.320 --> 0:50:34.000
<v Speaker 10>one of the most misunderstood, maligned, and frankly butchered concepts

0:50:34.000 --> 0:50:36.960
<v Speaker 10>in American political discourse, socialism.

0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:41.360
<v Speaker 4>But you here's my question. Though you can like and

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:43.520
<v Speaker 4>maybe it will get better to where you really can't,

0:50:43.560 --> 0:50:45.200
<v Speaker 4>but you can tell that that is AI.

0:50:46.160 --> 0:50:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well they're also they're trying to they're

0:50:49.400 --> 0:50:52.399
<v Speaker 2>sort of like trying to be quote unquote ethical where

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:56.680
<v Speaker 2>they have the hosts up top say their AI yeah,

0:50:56.719 --> 0:50:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and one of the founders is like, look, dude, I'm

0:50:58.560 --> 0:51:00.920
<v Speaker 2>not trying to have like create like these models that

0:51:00.920 --> 0:51:04.520
<v Speaker 2>people are gonna have like deep relationships with because like

0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:07.719
<v Speaker 2>this they see it as a completely different lane than

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:10.560
<v Speaker 2>human hosted podcast. But like when you look at it,

0:51:10.600 --> 0:51:14.200
<v Speaker 2>you're like, you're doing you're you're talking about subjects that

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.960
<v Speaker 2>humans currently make podcasts about. I don't know how you

0:51:17.080 --> 0:51:18.640
<v Speaker 2>You're like, well, no, it's not meant to replace that

0:51:18.680 --> 0:51:21.520
<v Speaker 2>at all. Like it's just we're just doing the same thing.

0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:26.160
<v Speaker 2>They are out of insane scale and maybe people will

0:51:26.520 --> 0:51:30.280
<v Speaker 2>listen to it, like you know, they're they have the hosts.

0:51:30.400 --> 0:51:34.360
<v Speaker 2>The names are really fucking dumb, Like for the food podcast,

0:51:34.680 --> 0:51:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you're talking about. I think these

0:51:36.239 --> 0:51:38.560
<v Speaker 2>names are totally normal. Okay, what name the host of

0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the food podcast Jack? All right?

0:51:39.960 --> 0:51:43.640
<v Speaker 1>The food podcast is named uh oh. I actually love her.

0:51:43.880 --> 0:51:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I actually follow her on lots of different Claire Delish

0:51:49.960 --> 0:51:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and then of course my favorite source for gardening info.

0:51:52.880 --> 0:51:59.400
<v Speaker 2>My health mm hmm, Nigel this, yes, and the fucking

0:51:59.800 --> 0:52:02.640
<v Speaker 2>like the AI models are like it sounds like the

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:05.160
<v Speaker 2>same ones you hear on TikTok basically when people use

0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:07.960
<v Speaker 2>AI to caption shit. But again, I believe it's the

0:52:08.040 --> 0:52:11.640
<v Speaker 2>nominative determinism Noma. Yeah, oh yeah, like one of the

0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:14.640
<v Speaker 2>finance one was like penny power or something like that,

0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:20.640
<v Speaker 2>quite dumb, goofy shit. But again, I mean I don't know,

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:23.840
<v Speaker 2>like they will it replace it. I don't know, but

0:52:23.960 --> 0:52:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I think like to your point, Alan, like it's bad

0:52:26.560 --> 0:52:29.800
<v Speaker 2>when you have someone putting out three thousand episodes a

0:52:29.840 --> 0:52:33.560
<v Speaker 2>week of indistinguishable bullshit, because that just makes it harder

0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:36.719
<v Speaker 2>for anyone who actually wants to podcast to be to

0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:40.319
<v Speaker 2>have to like there's now it's just all noise and now, yeah,

0:52:40.360 --> 0:52:41.480
<v Speaker 2>that's finally good ones.

0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:43.839
<v Speaker 4>That's like a big part of the Amazon's thing. It's

0:52:43.880 --> 0:52:46.879
<v Speaker 4>like it's not that they just are undercutting and they

0:52:46.920 --> 0:52:50.640
<v Speaker 4>sell the product cheaper, it's that they've also like they've

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:53.800
<v Speaker 4>taken away a viable way for people to make money,

0:52:54.120 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Like opening a small business to like sell goods is

0:52:58.360 --> 0:53:02.680
<v Speaker 4>a bad business idea now because of Amazon. And so

0:53:02.800 --> 0:53:05.600
<v Speaker 4>that yeah, that definitely And I mean I will say this,

0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:09.480
<v Speaker 4>podcasters are truly some of the sickest people, and they

0:53:10.560 --> 0:53:14.560
<v Speaker 4>in the sphere of the Internet or whatever.

0:53:14.560 --> 0:53:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Like it would be better if they went away.

0:53:16.520 --> 0:53:18.680
<v Speaker 1>What I So, they're still.

0:53:18.560 --> 0:53:22.279
<v Speaker 4>Going They're still gonna like go after it. But I

0:53:22.719 --> 0:53:24.040
<v Speaker 4>and it is the type of thing where you do

0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:26.960
<v Speaker 4>just think like, well, wait, but what if there are

0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:30.319
<v Speaker 4>people that aren't just that discerning and they're like, oh,

0:53:30.360 --> 0:53:33.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm listening to this, you know, AI podcast and they

0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:35.759
<v Speaker 4>don't really they don't care one way or the other.

0:53:36.560 --> 0:53:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, they were about to on the socialism one. I

0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:42.560
<v Speaker 1>could hear the hosts leading into so pour yourself a

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:45.080
<v Speaker 1>glass of your favorite bourbon or something like that, and

0:53:45.160 --> 0:53:47.799
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, oh, that is like that. There's

0:53:47.880 --> 0:53:50.880
<v Speaker 1>a certain type of like medium tier podcast that like

0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I've accidentally listened to where that's like the human element

0:53:55.400 --> 0:53:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is like, so, pour yourself a favorite glass of bourbon.

0:53:58.400 --> 0:54:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I've got mine right here, right and we're gonna dig in,

0:54:02.239 --> 0:54:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. So maybe, yeah, maybe this is gonna hit

0:54:05.480 --> 0:54:05.840
<v Speaker 1>hit with.

0:54:05.960 --> 0:54:08.200
<v Speaker 2>The people who like listen to whatever those shows are.

0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:11.120
<v Speaker 2>We gotta hit, we gotta hit. I mean, it's fun.

0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:13.560
<v Speaker 2>The co founder of it, who I imagine is the

0:54:13.640 --> 0:54:16.400
<v Speaker 2>actual founder of it or the person who started, he

0:54:16.600 --> 0:54:20.520
<v Speaker 2>got into this because during the pandemic, he just started

0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:24.239
<v Speaker 2>like reading like weather reports and shit or no, he

0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:28.200
<v Speaker 2>was reading daily CDC reports and then and then a

0:54:28.239 --> 0:54:30.719
<v Speaker 2>bunch of people started reloading it yeah, just because he

0:54:30.840 --> 0:54:33.279
<v Speaker 2>was just just reading off a cdcreport and he's like, oh,

0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:37.359
<v Speaker 2>okay now, and then he did like weather robots did this, yeah,

0:54:37.440 --> 0:54:39.279
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, whoa weather report? And then he was like,

0:54:39.360 --> 0:54:41.560
<v Speaker 2>there's a quote from me. He's like, you know, talking

0:54:41.560 --> 0:54:43.800
<v Speaker 2>about how people who are really like if you have

0:54:44.040 --> 0:54:46.520
<v Speaker 2>crazy allergies, you look at like the Pollen Report and stuff.

0:54:46.520 --> 0:54:48.440
<v Speaker 2>He said, quote, we might make a pollen podcast and

0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:51.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe only fifty people listen to, but I'm already at

0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:54.000
<v Speaker 2>unit profitability on that, so then maybe I can make

0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 2>five hundred pollen Report podcasts like these people don't. This

0:54:58.280 --> 0:55:00.520
<v Speaker 2>is what happens when people had never made a fucking

0:55:00.600 --> 0:55:01.319
<v Speaker 2>thing in their life.

0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Why have we never once on this on the many

0:55:04.600 --> 0:55:08.040
<v Speaker 1>many hours of the show used the phrase unit profit about.

0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:12.480
<v Speaker 2>The cool and soulful term.

0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that that founder and you know he is the

0:55:16.520 --> 0:55:19.040
<v Speaker 1>actual founder because his name is Pod Founderman.

0:55:20.640 --> 0:55:25.160
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, oh the Cincinnati Founderman's Yeah.

0:55:25.080 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 2>The Cincinnati founder formerly formerly of Louisville, Kentucky.

0:55:30.000 --> 0:55:34.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, Uh so that sucks, but we there is

0:55:34.440 --> 0:55:36.960
<v Speaker 1>some light at the end of the tunnel because Kamala

0:55:37.040 --> 0:55:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Harris has announced her.

0:55:41.160 --> 0:55:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Memoir.

0:55:43.840 --> 0:55:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's coming it's uh, I guess she hasn't announced it.

0:55:47.920 --> 0:55:51.200
<v Speaker 1>She announced it a long time ago. It's coming. It's

0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:53.680
<v Speaker 1>called one hundred and seven days. So it's like about

0:55:53.760 --> 0:55:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the one hundred and seven days that she ran for president.

0:55:57.320 --> 0:55:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys remember that?

0:55:58.760 --> 0:55:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:55:59.040 --> 0:56:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:56:00.280 --> 0:56:02.640
<v Speaker 1>We all realized like Biden was bad and then he

0:56:03.000 --> 0:56:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we finally like everybody just pressured him enough into leaving

0:56:07.360 --> 0:56:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the race. And then she had one hundred and seven

0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:12.000
<v Speaker 1>days run for president and like started with a spark

0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:15.239
<v Speaker 1>and had like a couple of good ideas and then

0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:21.000
<v Speaker 1>those were immediately like like replaced by terrible shit by

0:56:21.440 --> 0:56:24.759
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party and had a chance their advisors. Yeah,

0:56:25.200 --> 0:56:29.200
<v Speaker 1>she like had ideas about like greed flation and calling

0:56:29.280 --> 0:56:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic or the Republican Party weird, and they're like no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

0:56:33.800 --> 0:56:35.880
<v Speaker 1>shut the why don't you shut the fuck up?

0:56:36.320 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wonder here, kiss uh kiss Dick Cheney's daughter

0:56:40.719 --> 0:56:43.640
<v Speaker 2>right now, kiss her on stage. That's gonna work.

0:56:44.120 --> 0:56:49.399
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, she's she's doing some book tours, not at bookstores,

0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:52.680
<v Speaker 1>but on a live speaking to our major venues. Some

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:56.319
<v Speaker 1>tickets going for more than four hundred dollars, not from

0:56:56.400 --> 0:56:59.760
<v Speaker 1>like a reseller. That's the official price for a platinum

0:56:59.800 --> 0:57:00.239
<v Speaker 1>to it.

0:57:00.400 --> 0:57:05.399
<v Speaker 2>What a fucking cariff. Man, that's amazing, Just like man,

0:57:05.640 --> 0:57:08.600
<v Speaker 2>that was a that was a shitty presidential campaign.

0:57:08.719 --> 0:57:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

0:57:09.040 --> 0:57:10.359
<v Speaker 2>You want to hear me talk about it for four

0:57:10.440 --> 0:57:13.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred bucks? Yeah? Yeah, I do, I do, I do,

0:57:13.640 --> 0:57:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:57:14.560 --> 0:57:18.479
<v Speaker 1>The excerpts are pretty telling, I'd say, presumably like people

0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:24.600
<v Speaker 1>are looking for some t spillage and like she did,

0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:27.880
<v Speaker 1>she just really published an excerpt in the Atlantic that

0:57:28.160 --> 0:57:31.080
<v Speaker 1>defends Biden to some extent, claiming that there was no

0:57:31.280 --> 0:57:33.120
<v Speaker 1>cover up concerning his mental decline.

0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's that's where you lost me comin, come on now.

0:57:36.840 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you saw some ship also would kind

0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of implicate her or something, right, Yeah.

0:57:43.600 --> 0:57:45.840
<v Speaker 4>In a way, there wasn't really a cover up because

0:57:46.880 --> 0:57:52.080
<v Speaker 4>literally the entire country was like, oh, that's all sides

0:57:52.120 --> 0:57:54.600
<v Speaker 4>of every like. There were like a few people that

0:57:55.120 --> 0:57:57.000
<v Speaker 4>tried to deny it, but like, yeah.

0:57:57.040 --> 0:58:01.880
<v Speaker 1>We just chose answer your question. She also said, and

0:58:02.000 --> 0:58:05.240
<v Speaker 1>this is the refrain from the Biden side his debate,

0:58:05.400 --> 0:58:11.760
<v Speaker 1>clusterfuck wasn't incapacity. It was just tiredness owing to recent trips.

0:58:12.320 --> 0:58:15.040
<v Speaker 1>And I think and then add in from Hunter Biden

0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:19.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of ambient sprinkled in, so he was

0:58:20.080 --> 0:58:23.440
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't incapacity. He's just at an age where he

0:58:23.600 --> 0:58:26.200
<v Speaker 1>was incapacitated by being a little bit tired.

0:58:27.440 --> 0:58:31.320
<v Speaker 4>He was taking a trip down memory Lane's.

0:58:35.320 --> 0:58:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Trips to take that that thing from Hunter Biden, He's like,

0:58:38.720 --> 0:58:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I was on ambient and then like they looked at

0:58:40.360 --> 0:58:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the schedules, like bro he was he was traveled like

0:58:44.160 --> 0:58:48.439
<v Speaker 2>like a week solidly before that. But again, like you're saying,

0:58:48.560 --> 0:58:52.280
<v Speaker 2>like that's not good if just if traveling makes you

0:58:52.400 --> 0:58:55.480
<v Speaker 2>all tired like that and you want to be talked

0:58:55.520 --> 0:58:58.280
<v Speaker 2>out from a trip like a week later, like that's

0:58:58.960 --> 0:59:01.439
<v Speaker 2>that's not a good sign that It's like me, I'm

0:59:01.480 --> 0:59:04.000
<v Speaker 2>tuckered out from a trip a week later, But like you,

0:59:04.120 --> 0:59:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be present.

0:59:05.320 --> 0:59:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I would be so bad at being present. I'd be

0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:11.520
<v Speaker 1>so fucking sleepy. What would you do if my comes

0:59:11.560 --> 0:59:14.200
<v Speaker 1>up to you and says head er gut jack, and

0:59:14.400 --> 0:59:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I cry my superpower crying the way out of things,

0:59:22.120 --> 0:59:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Well into.

0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:25.120
<v Speaker 2>My f would be interesting that like the American president,

0:59:25.200 --> 0:59:29.080
<v Speaker 2>with a completely different strategy from past American leaders, openly

0:59:29.280 --> 0:59:34.280
<v Speaker 2>sobbing pathetically as a way to get just like stop,

0:59:34.480 --> 0:59:37.800
<v Speaker 2>like just stop like invading them, Like, what the hell?

0:59:38.240 --> 0:59:40.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jesus stopped fucking crying.

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Man, my god, you're gonna get snot on my suit

0:59:44.160 --> 0:59:48.920
<v Speaker 1>promise taft present, taft big crier.

0:59:49.560 --> 0:59:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, there are other things too where

0:59:54.000 --> 0:59:56.280
<v Speaker 2>she was like where she is sort of like, look,

0:59:57.320 --> 0:59:59.479
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of times the right wing media

0:59:59.560 --> 1:00:02.560
<v Speaker 2>was attacked me and they just didn't say shit, the

1:00:02.640 --> 1:00:06.840
<v Speaker 2>White House didn't have my back at fucking all, and

1:00:06.920 --> 1:00:08.760
<v Speaker 2>they're like, oh, absolutely accurate.

1:00:08.920 --> 1:00:12.479
<v Speaker 1>Like the the energy coming out of the Biden camp

1:00:12.920 --> 1:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>during her run for president was like, I don't know,

1:00:16.200 --> 1:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>ha haha. Not so easy to have a candidate who

1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't suck shit, huh, Like you know what I mean.

1:00:21.800 --> 1:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Like they were just like praying she would. You got

1:00:25.360 --> 1:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a sense that at least a large part of them

1:00:27.720 --> 1:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe there were two wolves inside of them, and one

1:00:30.240 --> 1:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>was rooting for her, but another was definitely hoping to

1:00:34.280 --> 1:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>see her fail and be vindicated for thinking that they

1:00:37.920 --> 1:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>had a better shot than her.

1:00:39.320 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, there was another thing that she said to quote,

1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>it's Joe and Jill's decision. We all said that like

1:00:45.360 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>a mantra, as if we'd all been hypnotized. The stakes

1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:50.680
<v Speaker 2>were simply too high. This wasn't a choice that should

1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>have should have been left to an individual's ego and

1:00:52.800 --> 1:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>individual's ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision. Yeah, okay,

1:00:57.640 --> 1:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I guess like there's really nothing in

1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:02.439
<v Speaker 2>here that isn't that's like shocking to me. I'm like, yeah,

1:01:02.480 --> 1:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>of course they hung you out to dry like that.

1:01:05.360 --> 1:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we saw that this part, which I think

1:01:07.600 --> 1:01:09.800
<v Speaker 2>we knew already worse. I often learned that the president's

1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:12.320
<v Speaker 2>staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up

1:01:12.320 --> 1:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>around me. One narrative that took a stubborn hold was

1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>that I had a chaotic office an unusually high staff

1:01:18.640 --> 1:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>turnover during my first year as vice president. I do

1:01:21.920 --> 1:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>remember that coming at a pretty critical point in the

1:01:25.000 --> 1:01:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and like that wasn't coming Like they wouldn't have posted

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>that if that was coming from like JD Vance, you

1:01:31.480 --> 1:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like that was coming from someone

1:01:34.240 --> 1:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>in Biden administration. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fucked up a.

1:01:39.600 --> 1:01:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Lot of the two. It's like the Biden cognitive whatever

1:01:44.120 --> 1:01:47.680
<v Speaker 4>cover up this about how his team was mean to her.

1:01:48.200 --> 1:01:51.000
<v Speaker 4>All of it just reads is like the Democratic Party

1:01:51.680 --> 1:01:54.840
<v Speaker 4>has no idea what the fuck it's doing, And like

1:01:55.480 --> 1:01:58.840
<v Speaker 4>if if this is what like and I don't know,

1:01:59.080 --> 1:02:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I I to me, she feels done, Like I feel

1:02:02.640 --> 1:02:05.640
<v Speaker 4>like I feel like guys, like a populace, we're done

1:02:05.680 --> 1:02:09.240
<v Speaker 4>with her. She also, I think, feels done, like I

1:02:09.280 --> 1:02:11.240
<v Speaker 4>don't know if she would run again, but if she,

1:02:13.160 --> 1:02:16.720
<v Speaker 4>if she does, you know maybe, But like I'm just like,

1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:19.640
<v Speaker 4>if this is what we're still talking about, it's like

1:02:20.200 --> 1:02:22.480
<v Speaker 4>we're fucked ligating.

1:02:23.080 --> 1:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the obvious, Like why did we lose? Like, guys,

1:02:25.920 --> 1:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>is it really that much of a mystery to you? Right?

1:02:29.000 --> 1:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the only reason this story is of value,

1:02:31.800 --> 1:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>is just to further drive nails into the coffin of

1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party. Just like, guys, look how bad it

1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>was behind the scenes, Like we all thought that they

1:02:41.360 --> 1:02:44.479
<v Speaker 1>had a chance, because we were hoping they had a chance.

1:02:44.960 --> 1:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Behind the scenes, they were blowing it.

1:02:49.000 --> 1:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's a capitalist clown show and they don't know,

1:02:52.320 --> 1:02:56.600
<v Speaker 2>they don't realize how their devotion to capitalism and the

1:02:56.680 --> 1:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>status quo was really its whole undoing. And now it's

1:03:01.000 --> 1:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>now that I now seeing the quotes from the Biden administration,

1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>people that are like giving quotes after In the aftermath

1:03:07.560 --> 1:03:09.640
<v Speaker 2>of this excerpt, I'm like, now I believe everything she says.

1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Like one person said, quote, Vice President Harris was simply

1:03:13.640 --> 1:03:16.880
<v Speaker 2>not good at the job. She had basically zero substantive

1:03:16.960 --> 1:03:19.160
<v Speaker 2>role in any of the administration's key work streams, and

1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops

1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:26.040
<v Speaker 2>that expressed how out of depth she. Wow, holy shit, dude,

1:03:26.080 --> 1:03:28.720
<v Speaker 2>that's what they're saying now. The day after this yeah

1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>came out, President Biden.

1:03:31.040 --> 1:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Was not there were mean, Actually you're fucking stupid. Yeah,

1:03:35.360 --> 1:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you're actually fucking dumb what we're saying at all. Yeah,

1:03:38.880 --> 1:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it's mean. Nobody likes you. But no one's going

1:03:43.120 --> 1:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>to tell you that to your face. But nobody actually

1:03:45.280 --> 1:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>likes you.

1:03:45.560 --> 1:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>They going to say, quote, President Biden was not the

1:03:47.520 --> 1:03:50.760
<v Speaker 2>reason she struggled in officer tanked her twenty nineteen presidential

1:03:50.800 --> 1:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>campaign or lost the twenty twenty four campaign for that matter.

1:03:53.840 --> 1:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>The independent variable there is the Vice president, not Biden

1:03:57.520 --> 1:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>or his aides. Damn.

1:03:58.880 --> 1:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>So you're like, that's like the best I've seen them

1:04:02.600 --> 1:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>at being like critical and clapping the backbone.

1:04:06.240 --> 1:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>They can't they couldn't do that against Trump they couldn't. Yeah,

1:04:09.520 --> 1:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>it's just but there's other quotes too that back what

1:04:13.000 --> 1:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>she says. Another aide or staffer who spoke in this

1:04:17.080 --> 1:04:19.120
<v Speaker 2>one article I think, let me just make before it

1:04:19.240 --> 1:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>was it in the New Republic said that quote. We

1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:25.080
<v Speaker 2>all know that the Biden folks treated her and her

1:04:25.120 --> 1:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>team like shit. We never thought she would actually say anything.

1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Staffers across a range of ages and positions that I'm

1:04:31.280 --> 1:04:34.840
<v Speaker 2>talking to are proud of her. Yeah, so there's clearly,

1:04:34.960 --> 1:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>like I mean again, it just shows a very divided administration.

1:04:38.920 --> 1:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>And I think that was really probably became clear as

1:04:42.080 --> 1:04:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Biden just sat on his hands after October seventh, too, right,

1:04:45.480 --> 1:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we will see where if this, if this

1:04:51.040 --> 1:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>harms her career because you have other people being like, well,

1:04:53.080 --> 1:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>she just nuked her career.

1:04:54.800 --> 1:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Really, Yeah, I mean I don't know.

1:04:56.880 --> 1:04:58.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like I feel like the type of people

1:04:58.960 --> 1:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>who say that, who are like play it safe politically

1:05:02.080 --> 1:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>always have have proven that they have some of the

1:05:05.720 --> 1:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>worst instincts in modern politics. I mean, like think about

1:05:09.160 --> 1:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>like Anthony Wiener, you know what I mean, who went

1:05:11.320 --> 1:05:14.520
<v Speaker 2>to prison like he's even trying to get back in. Yeah,

1:05:14.600 --> 1:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, it takes a lot to get it through

1:05:17.600 --> 1:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to these people that it's like, hey, maybe you cooked. Yeah,

1:05:20.840 --> 1:05:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't think.

1:05:21.360 --> 1:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know.

1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>If only they had like some blueprint of a path

1:05:26.120 --> 1:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>forward that had a lot of public support, like just

1:05:29.200 --> 1:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>like York mayoral candidate who was dominant and extremely popular

1:05:34.080 --> 1:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>that they've chosen to completely ignore and try and fuck over. Well,

1:05:38.080 --> 1:05:39.840
<v Speaker 2>it's like the thing where it's like it's like you say,

1:05:39.960 --> 1:05:43.280
<v Speaker 2>like the like the Democrats are like like big pepsi people,

1:05:43.520 --> 1:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, no, it's pepsi for everyone, like everyone

1:05:45.440 --> 1:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>likes coked. No, no, it's pepsi. It's like I look

1:05:50.160 --> 1:05:53.640
<v Speaker 2>at the fucking numbers, man, everyone nobody's drinking pep numbers.

1:05:53.880 --> 1:05:57.280
<v Speaker 2>It tainted and like they can't even fucking admit it.

1:05:57.400 --> 1:06:00.840
<v Speaker 2>They're just like like no, none of them are backing

1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:03.680
<v Speaker 2>zor like like what the fuck is going on that?

1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:07.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean again, it's just like I've just never felt

1:06:07.720 --> 1:06:10.080
<v Speaker 4>more done with the Democratic Party as a whole. I'm

1:06:10.160 --> 1:06:11.880
<v Speaker 4>just like I don't know what you want from me.

1:06:12.200 --> 1:06:14.960
<v Speaker 4>I want nothing from you, guys. I guess like this

1:06:15.160 --> 1:06:15.840
<v Speaker 4>is just crazy.

1:06:16.400 --> 1:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it seems bad.

1:06:18.800 --> 1:06:23.400
