Um, And I think that's I get why 136 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: that would make a few people outraged, But the listening 137 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: has been brought down. I mean, I'm looking at some 138 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: of the images of the airbb inside. I'm like that 139 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: because they of like basic yeah, well they like that 140 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: they have the two bunks, and they've basically restored it 141 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: to be like the slave quarters, but like a little 142 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: bit nicer like it is that is so dark. And 143 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: also I thought, maybe I'm misremembering news stories, but when 144 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: Pinters had that big um pull out of all the 145 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: plantations on the wedding boards or whatever, like they removed 146 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: all plantations from winning boards. I thought Airbnb also acted 147 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: and was like yeah, like we're taking plantations off Airbnb, 148 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: but maybe I'm misremembering that. And this is bananas, this 149 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: is uh. And Greenville, Um, Mississippi is like such a 150 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: historic place in terms of like Southern history when it 151 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: comes to like slavery, Like I actually remember learning about Greenville, Mississippi, 152 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: like in my you know, youth of college of like 153 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: learning about American history. So it's just so dark, like yeah, 154 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: and it's a place where the like white people of 155 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: America can go to have the history obscured and completely 156 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: whitewashed and into like a fun place to check out 157 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: the sunset rather than this was a structure that you know, 158 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: created untold trauma for many people. But the ratings are great, 159 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: though you really should you have to take a bath 160 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: in the claw foot tub and check out the sunset, 161 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: like I'm sure some of the previous tenants say. It's 162 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: like I can't imagine the people that were like saw 163 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: that listing was like lit went stayed put a positive review, 164 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: Like who those people are? Like I can envision them, 165 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: and they are quite and they are racist, but it 166 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: is just such a wild like it is so crazy 167 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: how history does not affect you.

It's to the point something 173 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: that you founded by a ghost. I hope you did. 174 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: Some sharecroppers that I'm sure had it real easy. They 175 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: must have loved it. I wonder what the rent was 176 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: for them, Like can you think about how bad the 177 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: rent is or I live so actually to them a 178 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: favor because they you know, they gave them that little house, 179 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, to live where they work, and they got 180 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: paid like sounds like forty acres.

Sir Brian put A really good 185 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: point in the chat here. These people have never thought 186 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: for a second how terrifying it would be to a 187 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: white person to actually be working on a plantation. Absolutely, 188 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: just and I'll leave it at that. Yeah, I think 189 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: the yeah, I don't even know if they concept exists, 190 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: and it must because that's like sort of helps drive 191 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: like the idea that you know, there's everything is so fragile, 192 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,479 Speaker 1: like but what if we do what if we experience 193 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: the things we perpetrated against other people? But then that 194 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: would you wouldn't be putting those positive reviews to like 195 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: like to them, it's like going to a haunted house, 196 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like like the fantastical element, 197 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: like the the mystery, the like, um, the fiction of it, 198 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: right is how it feels to be showing up at 199 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: one of those plantation homes. Like to them, it's like, 200 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: who's go kokie? Like ghost stories are spooky, but not 201 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: like this is actual history that has created like generational 202 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: trauma for many Black Americans, all black Americans in this country. Yeah, 203 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean there was something that like the people who 204 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: like run the foundation of the former plantation or like, 205 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: well we've identified some of the people who work there, 206 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: and we dedicated a square to them. It's like and 207 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: it's like, what give all your money to them? Literally 208 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: you should be mainking, zero income and all of it 209 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: should go to those people. Yeah, you should actually sell 210 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: it to them. They have that back. M hmm. Not 211 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: gonna do that. Can't do that, Just not when we 212 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: got these reviews flying in that are so positive. Next up, 213 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: monkeypok State of emergency. California just declared a state of emergency, 214 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: joining Illinois and New York as well. But yeah, it's 215 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: still very very difficult for people to get vaccine appointments. 216 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: The messaging around it is still very homophobic. The qualifications 217 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: are oddly specific and exclude whole swaths of people that 218 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: are equally exposed. We'll talk a little bit more about 219 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: the naming quagmire that, like the World Health Organization is like, 220 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, monkey pox is like racist that too, 221 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: But I just want to give a warning, like if 222 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: you have prisis or exema or an autoimmune disorder, be 223 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: like extra cautious. I have really really bad ex am 224 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: out of my hands, Like right now I have like 225 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: open blisters on my hands. Um, they say, you know, 226 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: obviously monkeypox is transmitted through open sores, through skin to 227 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: skin contact through pores. So like you having an autoimmune 228 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: disorder like EXIMA or sirisis you are more susceptible no 229 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: matter what l G B, t Q or not affiliation 230 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: you have. So just be very cautious. If you live 231 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: in a very highly populous city you take public transit, 232 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: like try to not touch you know, use Clark's wipes, 233 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: just stay vigilant. I know, I'm personally pretty freaked out 234 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: for that reason, Like I'm like, where you to go 235 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: to the gym or you know, be on public transit 236 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: because like those are areas that are highly populous, and 237 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,479 Speaker 1: you don't have to be gay to be in those spaces, 238 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: so you know, but you do have to be queer 239 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: to get a vaccine in New York. So yeah, and 240 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: just like that very overly myopic focus on like who 241 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: gets vaccinated when it's like like many virologists are pointing to, 242 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: it's like it's allowing things to spread a lot quicker 243 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: and sooner, the like Biden can declare of national emergency, 244 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: the better like funding that will be begin to flow 245 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: to the operations that are trying to stem the wave 246 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: of infections. Uh, and hopefully doesn't become endemic. Yeah. I 247 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: went through the the I guess like Preventative Care on 248 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: the CC the New York City c set website or whatever, 249 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: and it was so wild, like from all the research 250 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: I did and then reading that, I was like, this 251 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: is so homophobic. It hurts. Like it's like basically like yeah, 252 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: like try not to have sex partners, and like you know, 253 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: it's like it's not labeled an s t I yet potentially, 254 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: but like it's like everyone's like it's not an s 255 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: t I ever and s t I like you don't 256 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: need to be having sex to get it. Like obviously 257 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: having sex you're exchanging lots of fluids of course, but 258 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: like it is not requirement to get it. And it's 259 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: like yeah, just like make sure you're wearing conda, Like 260 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: if you have a sex partner that has monkey pop, 261 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: just like make sure they're covered up. And I'm like none, 262 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: like literally none of the preventative care talked about it, 263 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: like it had nothing to do with not sex, Like 264 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: all the preventatives like sex related, like it's s t I. 265 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: It was so fucked up anyway, because you know, maybe 266 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: if you could not have sex for a little bit. 267 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: Maybe you wouldn't get it. When are you people? Like 268 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: a whore? You are? Like that was the mind reading, 269 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: like who wrote this? Someone's like the ghost of their 270 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: conservative grandmother anyway. And then finally, Jake Novak is trending. 271 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: Beck you put this and I said, what is Jake Novak? 272 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: And what is happening?

So a few weeks ago, 274 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: I think like six or eight weeks ago. Um, Jake 275 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Novak went viral on TikTok because he made this audition 276 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: video for the next SNL cast member. It's very musical, 277 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: like theater kid asked. It's like giving Linmo and Miranda 278 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: like like um rap rhyming style. Um. It's a little embarrassing. 279 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: It's a little cringe e but you know, harmless by 280 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: all means, Like it's something that you watch the video, 281 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: you go, oh, and it's him. It's him wholeheartedly of 282 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: trying saying like SNL notice me yeah, and he like 283 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: obviously he is a theater kid, like he enjoys the stuff. 284 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: He you know, his videos are high quality content, like 285 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: he it's clear he works very hard on them, like 286 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: he has a really nice camera set up.

So he's talented, 290 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: he can sing. It's just like he's definitely not for everyone, 291 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: right and like is he for SNL? Probably not. But 292 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: the way the Internet took that video and just destroyed him, 293 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: it was so depressing. It's very reminisce of um, what 294 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: was the story we were talking about early, not couch guy, 295 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: but also couch guy. Like that's a great example too. 296 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: It just goes into this history of many oh West Elm, 297 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: Caleb Western, Caleb Couch and I similar things. It's different 298 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: for those two because they you know, questionable on the 299 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: morals of those men in those videos. But you know 300 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: this kid simply you know, he has a passion. It's 301 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: clear he's trying to make it as a content creator 302 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: like many people are out there. But TikTok can be 303 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: such a like toxic place and put you where Unlike 304 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: old Internet, you could have your niche, you could stay 305 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: in your niche area of the Internet and be praised 306 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: in your niche. But like TikTok can be so expansive 307 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: and viral that you end up on the wrong for 308 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: you page and then all of a sudden, it is 309 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: just like hate vitriol for no reason.

I noticed it a 332 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: lot when people do at videos and things like that 333 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: to be able to be like, okay, let me jump 334 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: in on this trend and it just sounds like that's 335 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: just that can just go completely out of whack and 336 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 1: turns into oh okay, so now we're dog piling on someone. 337 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: That's the way to get on the algorithm. I don't 338 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: know who this human is. I don't give a fun 339 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: because I'm trying to get my ship going because them 340 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: they made this video saying can tell me why um 341 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: children dying in the school? And it is catchy and 342 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: like his content like and it is catchy, yeah it's 343 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: and its content isn't like like it's high quality content, 344 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: but and it's probably better than most of the things, 345 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: like the people teaching him, you know, aren't making quality content. 346 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: But just have anything. Leave this man alone, Leave people 347 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: the internet alone. Sometimes you're if you're typing something, maybe 348 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: think like three times about it before and then just 349 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: delete it. So there's your voice is sometimes very much 350 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: unnecessary in the comment section. Most can tell you of 351 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: the time the it is unless you have something positive 352 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: to say or whatever. But that's the nature of our like, 353 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: you know, our world, where people feel increasingly powerless, and 354 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: at times the most potent you feel is just to 355 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: be able to dunk on somebody who's I get it, like, 356 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: it's probably there's annym that what do you think you're 357 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: going to get on? Motherfucking so fuck you? But man, 358 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: people are just trying to live. Yeah, leave him alone. 359 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: I came around to Jake Novak.
