I just like to 45 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: throw that in there to enrage, enrage everybody around the 46 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: country who I think like unseasonably warm weather in New 47 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: York is is like the fifties right now. So all right, well, 48 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: we are going to get to know you a little 49 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: bit better in a moment, Carmen. First, we're gonna tell 50 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. 51 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: It is election day. Nobody knows anything. When you hear this, 52 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: nobody will know anything as of yet. It's just time 53 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: to get out and vote if you haven't done the 54 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: mail in voting early. But we're gonna talk about the 55 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: how little, how how little of an idea anybody has 56 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: as to what is what is going to happen ahead 57 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: of this, and why that seems to be a trend 58 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: that is doubling down. It was like after after, I 59 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: think people are like, oh, well, they'll just correct for that, 60 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, they'll just they'll they they saw a mistake 61 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: that they made, and they'll they'll figure it out, and 62 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: now the polls will be accurate again. And then it 63 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: happened again in the last midterm polls were somewhat accurate. 64 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: So that's at least one piece of solace for pole watchers. 65 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: But at the same time that also just fux you 66 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: up even more because it's like, oh, so it's maybe 67 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: the polls will be accurate. It adds like even another 68 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: twist to all the all the different things that could 69 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: be happening. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about 70 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: why if Republicans win, it's very bad and therefore everybody 71 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: who is not voting Republicans should get the funk out 72 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: and vote. I do want to I do want to 73 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: talk about Ellen Musk. I know, I know, it's we 74 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: can do it, we can do it. It's it's really 75 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: been like watching someone talk shit about an NBA player, 76 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: be like, man, he should have shot that, and then 77 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: they like throw that person into the game and they 78 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: have to play basketball even though they don't know what 79 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: the funk they're doing. Like his tenure at CEO has 80 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: been just repeatedly getting owned and like he's he didn't 81 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: even like have a thought before he took over as 82 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: to like what he was going to do. It seems 83 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: like he's like trying to make it he owns a 84 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: ruby mine, sapphire mind, some pressure, you don't have to 85 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: worry about. It was Emeralds. Okay, all right, leave him alone. Yes, Yeah, 86 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: it's funny that like the first thing of being like, 87 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: we'll pay for your verification, which is the onlyest thing 88 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: I've ever heard, because verification has a very like solid point, 89 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: the only reason a lot of things came as results 90 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: of verification, Like yes, there are a cloud chasers, yes, 91 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: like bump people up to like the top of replies, 92 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: and that definitely has an impact on the circulation of 93 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: that tweet, etcetera. But its initial founding was just to 94 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: be like, hey, this person actually exists. This is the 95 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: person you think you're talking to. That was the point 96 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: of the blue check. Yeah, this is William Shatt exactly exactly. 97 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: So it's a for safety, right because you know that's 98 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: some actor who Now, of course I can't remember recently 99 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: posted about how, in the pre dawn of social media, 100 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: he was on a kids show and all of a sudden, 101 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: these parents were like, Hey, you're talking to my kid, 102 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: and now they're missing what's going on. He's like, I started, God, 103 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: I'm not talking to your kid. I don't know what 104 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about. And it turned out somebody was using 105 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: his name to like room children. That's fine, Yeah, fine, 106 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: And so he makes a really good point for like 107 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: why we need to blue checkmark, but also when you 108 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: have people paid for it, the all the other things 109 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: past safety that came with the check mark now no 110 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: longer hold any value foolish. So yeah, I don't know 111 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: what's happening over there. I do not know, but I 112 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: do like, have you seen how people are sort of retaliating? Yeah, 113 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: and have you seen how he's retaliating. Well, we'll get 114 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: into it, but he's just straight up forgotten everything he 115 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: was saying about, like, comedy is back on Twitter, comedy 116 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: is back. He's a free speech absolutist. And then he's like, 117 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: but unless you make fun of about him, which, yeah, 118 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about a movie called Wendell and Wild, 119 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: which you might not have heard of, and that's a problem. 120 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: So we'll we'll talk about that. Joel, you saw it 121 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: at tiff. You're gonna give us the inside track all 122 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Carmen, we do like 123 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? 124 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: All right, Well, what I've been searching is Pokemon Scarlet 125 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: and Violet weeks. Yes, so the game the game weeked 126 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: last night and that means like somebody got an early 127 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: copy of it and there basically uploading photos from the 128 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: game online because a lot of stuff is under wraps 129 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: right now. So I've been checking the subreddit for that constantly, 130 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: just for new updates to see new Pokemon. So what 131 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: are the good ones? What have you seeing that's like, oh, 132 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm catching that immediately. Oh well, there's this one called 133 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: small Live okay, and it's like a little olive and 134 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: it evolves into something called Dolive, which is like a 135 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: little olive doll looking thing. So I'm super excited about that. 136 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: Cute this overload it. So when a new Pokemon game 137 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: is released, there are new pokey like individuals Pokemon's who 138 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: are introduced, so that that's what is exciting. Besides, they're 139 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: just being a new game. Yes, um, and and especially 140 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: in this generation, they're doing this like whole future and 141 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: past thing, so like they're taking old Pokemon and giving 142 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: them like okay, like what would you call them, like 143 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: archaic forms, and they're taking whole Pokemon and giving them 144 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: future forms and stuff too, So a little bit of 145 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: new and then reinventing the wheel a little bit. I 146 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: like the cute outfits and the new towns. I like 147 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: when I get my bike and I can just ride 148 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: around through a field catching things. It's just it's so simple, 149 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: and then you get like a little happy too, and 150 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: then you just collect without having to spend money, which 151 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, for someone this is a challenge. So I 152 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: really appreciate come on being there for us. But yeah, 153 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: the game comes out in like two weeks, so it's 154 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be so fun. Mm hm. Yeah. 155 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm I'm personally in the in the process of like 156 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: the Pokemon wave is coming with my four year old 157 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: and six year old, Like my six year old friends 158 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: are talking Pokemon. He just like hasn't gotten interested in it, 159 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: and so I'm just like, I'm gonna have to do 160 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: a deep dive. I'm gonna. I'm gonna, you know, have 161 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: to know what any of this ship means in the 162 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: not too distant future. But for now, I am enjoying 163 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: the brain space that I get to devote to things 164 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: that are not Pokemon.

It's like it's 331 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: like the difference between water color versus like a paint, 332 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: how it actually sticks to the food that you're you're 333 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: dipping in. It's viscosity is the word I was looking 334 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: for and failing to come up with. Yeah, well there 335 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: you go. Everybody pay attention. So it's it's also a 336 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: really good like ingredient to throw into things. Yeah, alright, 337 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk 338 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: briefly about election day and Elon Musk just fucking up 339 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: at at a staggering scale right away. We'll be right back, 340 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: and we're back, and it is election day, I'm hoping 341 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: everybody who's listening has the opportunity to go out and vote, 342 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: or you had the opportunity to vote by mail, but 343 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, make the time. The stakes are the stakes 344 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: are very high. I mean, I guess we could we 345 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: could talk start off talking about if if Republicans win, 346 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: it's bad. We know that obviously they want to take 347 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: and have successfully taken women's bodily autonomy away from them, 348 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: just with the one branch of government that they can 349 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: control that they currently control, so that there are the 350 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: big picture bad things. We also talked about how they'll 351 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: make a mockery of the ability to like impeach and 352 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: investigate us sitting president by just like I guess, like Benghazi, 353 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: ng the funk out of Biden and treating a bunch 354 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: of just made up in fractions like you know, with 355 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: the equivalence seriousness of Trump trying to trade military aid 356 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: for a Hunter Biden investigation, like when just it's it's 357 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: pretty wild, Like we I feel like we've kind of 358 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: memory hold the actual impeachment, but that was a pretty 359 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: pretty bad thing that he did, and like they're going 360 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: to make a mockery of the ability to investigate him 361 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 1: so that if he gets elected once again, it's going 362 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: to be all gas, no breaks whatsoever. And yeah, they'll 363 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: continue to make it impossible for women to have bodily autonomy. 364 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: One of the very few things that I feel like 365 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: we've been able to feel good about in the past 366 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: few years has been steadily increasing momentum behind unions and 367 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: workers rights. And the Republicans have already announced their plan 368 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: to kind of attack that by basically taking the National 369 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: Labor Relations Board and tying it up so that there 370 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: are I think they said there would be oversight hearing 371 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: to oversight hearings a day on on that subject. So 372 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: just like making it impossible to kind of continue the momentum, 373 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: like the small amount of progress that we've been able 374 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: to see. And yeah, this is a trick that capitalists 375 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: love to do, where they cheat to make it impossible 376 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: to do anything with like public money or you know, 377 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: anything on the progressive side, and then they're like, see, 378 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't work, it's inefficient. And then they're also planning 379 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: to quote save Medicare by raising the age you finally 380 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: u that you finally qualify for it to UH sixty seven, 381 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: and then take make Social Security quote solvent again by 382 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: raising the retirement age to seventy. So it's somehow this 383 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: is you know, it's it's wild because they do this 384 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: during Democratic presidencies, Like that's that's when you're like Paul 385 00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: Ryan became really popular there or really powerful during Obama term, 386 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: and it's like you you start just making it so 387 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: nobody can spend any money on anything and people suffer badly, 388 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: and that that kind of gets that sticks to the 389 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: Democratic president. So yeah, that that's that's at least what 390 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: they've told us their plans are for if they if 391 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: they win, it'll be much more sinister for sure. You know, 392 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: if if God forbide, we actually see this reality as 393 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: it always is. I'm still like reminded of like all 394 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: of the filipbustering to like a maddening a maddening extent 395 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: or where shold we like go all the way back 396 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: to the Obama years when McConnell was like, I'm just 397 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: refusing to push this Supreme Court judge there, which of 398 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: course is now derailed us into infinity. And it's just 399 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: like I hope that whatever happened, at the very least 400 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party because it's the only other party we 401 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: have to rely on unfortunately, just step it up just 402 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: a little bit in the area of like, but we 403 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: have to be civil if we are done with civility, 404 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: just for civility's sake, just because this is how it's all. 405 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: We have to play by different rules if we're going 406 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: to survive a second red wave, Like, I just don't 407 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: know how else we do it. Fascism, Yeah, like fascism, 408 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, we have to Yeah, yeah, I am hoping 409 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: that somehow this, like whatever happens in the election translates 410 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: to them seeing more and more than like the strength 411 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: is with people who are maybe outside of the centrist 412 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: mainstream Democratic Party, but there's just so much momentum on 413 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: that and I think I think that kind of leads 414 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: us nicely into the kind of pulling the sort of 415 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: mainstream media polling industrial complex. So, like, one of the 416 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: big stories that you're seeing ahead of this election is 417 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: stories like bipolsters like quoting posters being like, we have 418 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: no fucking idea, what's gonna happen you guys, like this 419 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: is this is a mess. We're terrible at our jobs. 420 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: It's Yeah. That is a Yahoo story that I think 421 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: was originally from Daily beast. But posters have quote, no 422 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: fucking idea what's going to happen this election, And it 423 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: really seems like posters have been pretty much out to 424 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: see since Trump won. And I think there was a 425 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: theory of the case that they would take that initial 426 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: like disastrous Trump win in and like somehow fixed the model. 427 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: But the win in and them being you know, off, 428 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: like just fully off in the opposite direction, except for 429 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: Nate Silver, who like was saying there's a bigger chance 430 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: of Trump winning than like people are giving it credit 431 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: ahead of ahead of the thing. I do think that's 432 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: worth saying, because I don't know. He's full of ship 433 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: a lot of the time. But that was one thing 434 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: that I think people misremember as because almost all polsters 435 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: were saying that Trump was had no chance in hell 436 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: of winning. That he was also in there, but he's 437 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: been pretty frank. A handful of other polsters have been like, Yeah, 438 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: the the issue is nobody talks to us anymore, like 439 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: on either side, like we used to do pulling by 440 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: landlines and those don't exist anymore for the most part. Yeah, 441 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: if I hear an automated voice or even a voice, 442 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: I don't know it is an immediate hang up, like 443 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm not picking up unknown numbers on the off chance 444 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: I accidentally do. I don't know if his voice on 445 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: the other day end of that line, You need to 446 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: leave me a message and I'll call you back at 447 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: my convenience. What can I ask as an ignorant person, 448 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: do we need poster? We're gonna find out results anyway. 449 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: What is the advantage to having people be like this 450 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: will be the results because there's money to be made, 451 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: there's no advantage to us. It is the mainstream media 452 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: in America's massive bias towards whatever is profitable and can 453 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: make money, and it can like it's extra resistant strain 454 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: because the people who are polsters and consultants who all 455 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: like work together are also like very similar to the 456 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: people that like mainstream media journalists like went to Cornell 457 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: with and ship like that. You know, like they're they're 458 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: all like in that same world where they like all 459 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: pay attention to and care about the same stuff. And 460 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: in in a system that was operating like optimally, this 461 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: just wouldn't they would have had this conversation and then like, yeah, 462 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: we aren't getting this right anymore, so we should like 463 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: figure out a different system, but because there's so much appetite, 464 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: like all the all the headlines are still about what 465 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: polls are saying ahead of this midterm election because we're curious. 466 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to be looking at the fucking polls tomorrow 467 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: like I'm I'm just telling you I shouldn't be, but 468 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: like I'm going to at least like glance at them 469 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: and have them affect how I feel, like you know, 470 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: like like I'm I'm gonna do my best, but I 471 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: just I know that I'll have a moment of weakness 472 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: to be like where I'm like, let's just like see 473 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: what people are saying, but courage everyone to just wait 474 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: until their results are in. Like especially if there hasn't 475 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: been any adjustment that we can see from last time, 476 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna get burned so bad. Yeah, and there has 477 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: been the only adjustment there's been since last time is, 478 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: first of all, pollsters seem to be more more honest 479 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: this time, because they're like really and to aating that 480 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: they're going to suck it up. That's like a team 481 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: ahead of the super Bowl just being like yeah, I 482 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: don't know, like my legs hurt. It's like it could 483 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: go really badly here ahead of ahead of this thing, 484 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: Nate Cone, You're only allowed to be a polster if 485 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: your name is Nate apparently, but Nate Cone mentioned in 486 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: one of his like poll result things that it took 487 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: him two hours of dialing just to complete one in interview. 488 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: So that's the conversion rate of their time. Oh and 489 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: the only thing they're doing is phone calls to landlines. Yeah, 490 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: they have other strategies, but they just don't work as much. 491 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: And they can't tell because their new strategies, they can't 492 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: tell how biased they are in one direction versus another. 493 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: Because people eliminated spaces, it's not like you can even 494 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: go to them all anymore. And hope. Yeah, a wide 495 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: sample size. Everything's like an echo chamber basically coupposed to 496 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: like truth social and course you know what the results 497 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: are going to be. New strategy, go to social media, 498 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: set up a poll, see what happens. Who are you voting? 499 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: Topical vote on social media, and see if you can 500 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: get a better reaction. I bet if you used it 501 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: with like I'll be add technology they have out there 502 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 1: to like get into specific demographics. If you set up 503 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: a poll using that technology, I bet you could get 504 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: better results than phone calls because there's no personal person interaction. 505 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: They're trying everything. They had a phone call come in 506 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: where I think they were nagging me into like doing 507 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: a poll for them, because it was like there was 508 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: some silence. It wasn't it wasn't a spam likely number. 509 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: So I always picked those up because it could be 510 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: like some like the play my kids are in or something, 511 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 1: you know, like there's just like so many numbers that like, 512 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: I just have so much to deal with. Yeah, you 513 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: have to answer. You have to answer one unknown number 514 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: is called just because you don't know like what it's 515 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: going to be. And there was like a little bit 516 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: of silence and then it sounded like real person. He 517 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: was like, Hey, this is uh like councilman like said 518 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: said some name. Then he was like are you there? 519 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Actually all right, I can't hear you. 520 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna call back, and then like hung 521 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: up on me, And I was like, what is this strategy? Like, 522 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: was it just so I would hear their name? Is 523 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: like very very strange. Yeah, I just didn't answer when 524 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,719 Speaker 1: he called me back, But as you wouldn't because what 525 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: was I just want to be like you, we haven't 526 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: liked phones for such a long time, Like we turned 527 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: our phone into being anything other than a phone. I pivot, guys, 528 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: it's time. It's but there's nothing good to pivot too. 529 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: I think is there is the conclusion of a lot 530 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: of these articles. The thing that the Republican Party has 531 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: pivoted to is white supremacy and aggressively going after the 532 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: voters who showed that they exist and don't show up 533 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 1: in polls in the presidential elections. The Democratic Party is 534 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: like they so addicted to this, like mainstream media pulling 535 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: consultant industrial complex like that they I think it really 536 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: is like a big part of what is going to 537 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: make this court that the Democratic Party is on difficult 538 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: to sustain is that like they're just they can't get 539 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: away from it. Even as the pollsters are saying on 540 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: the front dage of the fucking paper the day like 541 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: on election day, Ay, we don't know ship that like 542 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: that's just where we're at. I think they that they 543 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: were doing great when the people who voted were like that, 544 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: like read their papers. Like Nate Silver I think called 545 00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: everything within like almost every county in America correctly in 546 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: the election but that was when the Republican Party was 547 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: also choosing its candidate based on who polsters thought would 548 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 1: be good and like, so it was like Mitt Romney, 549 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, it was it was like somebody who was 550 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: like it was somebody who appealed to like nobody. But 551 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: remember it wasn't that much difference between the Republican and 552 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, and it was always just two random white 553 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: dudes who were like very milk toast and we were like, 554 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: I guess that one, oh man, what are time to 555 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: be alive? But yeah, they used to just like go 556 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: pick the candidate that would appeal to like Republicans who 557 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: read newspapers, and now they've just like abandoned that. And 558 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: I think it's probably time for the Democrats to at 559 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: least stop listening to these same consultants and come up 560 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: with a new strategy, because the polsters are here and 561 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: they're telling you that it's this is not it like 562 00:34:54,360 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: we we don't know shit profitable. It's very profitable out Yeah, 563 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's that people want to know what's going 564 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: to happen. I love writing my friends checks to I 565 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, I do think there should be a 566 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: like like the way the way that this happens in 567 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: sports is well. I guess there's also like a very 568 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: dumb like sports industrial complex, sports media industrial complex where 569 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: like one person gets on it is like this team 570 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: is gonna win, and if you say they're not, you're 571 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: an idiot, and then the other. But like in terms 572 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: of the scientific like looking into who's going to win, 573 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: like it's betting markets that people and and those are 574 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: pretty they're not always right, but they do a decent 575 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: job because it's actually you know, people with some expertise, 576 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: like putting money behind it and able to make track 577 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: of all of those stats. Like it's gonna be much 578 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: easier to do, you know, I know, like from this 579 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: line he chooses this percentage and this make free throws, etcetera. 580 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: As opposed to like the constantly shifting demographics of the 581 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: American voting populace. Yeah, that's true. I guess that if 582 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: there's money to be made, like maybe they'll find ways 583 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: to better like predict elections because that's just how America operates. 584 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: By the way, while we're reading method, I'm getting telemarketer 585 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: phone call, leave him alone, telemarketing. But they know because 586 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: I answered those random calls from like the kids school 587 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: or the kids teachers. We can get this guy. Yeah, 588 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: this guy's a They probably have me on like some 589 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: list that's like parents learned to answer any Yeah, all right, 590 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk 591 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: elon Musk and we're back, and yeah, I don't know. 592 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: It's gone from being like, ah, this is bad. He 593 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: this person who just bought Twitter has some weird beliefs, 594 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 1: and I suspect he might be incompetent, But it's it is. 595 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: It really is like watching somebody who's never thought about 596 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: how to do this particular job take over the job 597 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: and just get fucking owned repeatedly in public, just over 598 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: and over and in a way that I like, can't 599 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: possibly be part of some strategy, Like I know that 600 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: very Wood, Yeah they really would, like I don't know, 601 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: Like he has so many stands the same way I 602 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,240 Speaker 1: I kind of lump Ela, Musk, Trump and Kanye into 603 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: a like category of people who are taking advantage of 604 00:37:54,200 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: this strange like civilizational structure we currently have with social media, 605 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: where you know, toxic narcissism becomes like steroids to be 606 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: just the most dominant personality in the world. And it's 607 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 1: good at capturing like the hearts and minds of some 608 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: very lonely people. It just so happens that, like the 609 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: majority of the world is very lonely people right now, 610 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: because we're all on just social media and you know, working, 611 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: and at least the majority of America. So people want 612 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: to give him the benefit of the doubt. He has 613 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: a lot of supporters, but like this, I don't know 614 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: how it really is, Like an NBA fan who just 615 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: gets pulled into a game because they talked ship and 616 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: just getting dunked on repeatedly. I think this is the 617 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: result of particularly in America. I'm not sure how Elon 618 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: trends outside of the United States, but in America we 619 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: have this ideology of like the genius billionaire builder. I mean, 620 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: look at how we started our marvel you with irons, 621 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: but you can check it, you know, probably, I mean 622 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: there's probably someone before Henry Ford, but that's the big 623 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 1: icon of like my youth of it. Like he invented 624 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 1: the assembly line. He made capitalism easier because he turned 625 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: you into a factory part. This isn't that wonderful. Like 626 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: he figured out how to have an effective factory floor 627 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: and he raised a ton of money and he got 628 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: rich and that was lovely. Vanderbilt or another good example 629 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: of like they build these teams with all their money, 630 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: isn't that lovely? Like look at how progressive that is 631 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: of them, say say thank you, we we love like 632 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 1: a white billionaire influencer. So like philanthropists, like that's really 633 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: what we're about. And so that lead And because we've 634 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: made icons of these people, I think we're constantly looking 635 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: for the next one. Elon made a ton of really 636 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: bold claims, but it's it's funny to me how people 637 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: stick with these folks, Like you know, to me, if 638 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: you're an Elon stand liked the truck window that couldn't 639 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: be broken and then got broke on stage and presentation 640 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 1: making take pause? Did the testles that are constantly on fire? 641 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: Or the workers who you have so much more in 642 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: common than you ever will with Elon, who have had 643 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: to like constantly vocally protest their work conditions like make 644 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: you rethink it's or you know, like the kind of 645 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: irving fans who are like you at he's feeling he 646 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: thinks the world is flat, y'all. Like I just would 647 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: encourage you to consider, like what else these people are 648 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: thinking and doing with sides what they say they can do, 649 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 1: Like their actions should be speaking louder than their words. 650 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: And that's what is perplexing about the Elon stands of 651 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: it all. There are a lot of Elon stands out there, 652 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: and it's just funny to me, Like he didn't even 653 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: really like by Twitter to like, I feel like he 654 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: just bought Twitter because he wanted. Well, first he was 655 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: mad about like his daughter transitioning and like the free 656 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,919 Speaker 1: speech thing on Twitter R And I feel like he's 657 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: just trying to get back at people and it's not wait, 658 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 1: saymour Carmen, I didn't know his daughter was transitioning. Oh yes, 659 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: his daughter transition And he claims that he lost his 660 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: daughter to transactivists and like woke active like transwoke activism 661 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: and all of that. So like he you know, he encourages, 662 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: like openly encourages like transphobia on Twitter. Now you know 663 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: now that comedy is legal again on on Twitter, every 664 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: time someone shows their ask to be a villain, it 665 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: goes right back to transphobia. And that is so upsetting 666 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: to me. It is wild. Oh my gosh, Okay, so 667 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: even more of a monster than I initially thought and 668 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 1: openly and just like openly behind closed doors, but like 669 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 1: among people who have worked with him openly racists. Yeah, 670 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's not east from South Africa. He owned 671 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: a mind and two and two is four people. Truly. 672 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 1: By the way, I just want to make sure because 673 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier that he has emerald emeralds in his pockets, 674 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: and I think people might assume that that is like 675 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: a metaphor where it's like he was born on third 676 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: with emeralds in his pockets. No, he his dad, who 677 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: also monster, but it was like, yeah, Ellen was always 678 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: walking around with emeralds in his pocket trying like selling 679 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 1: them to Tiffany's to get extra change, like extra pocket 680 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: change basically because we owned an Emerald mind and he 681 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: knew that gave him money. So yeah, truly, Nightmarish. I 682 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: want to ask you, do you guys intend to keep 683 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: using Twitter? Have you seen Twitter change all that much 684 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: in the past couple of days? I never used it? 685 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: Continue you never used Twitter? No? Uh well, I did 686 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,879 Speaker 1: say yeah, like just to peek on people, like lurk 687 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 1: on people, but never because I hate that they put 688 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 1: everything behind a wall. You know, Yeah, you can't see 689 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: it unless you sign it in which I'm like, yeah, 690 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,399 Speaker 1: I'm mainly a lurker to I do. I just the 691 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: the other solution. I haven't like reshaped my life and 692 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: my like way of tracking news enough to figure out 693 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: like what I'm going to do, But I I am 694 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: getting there to the place where I'm ready to jump ship. 695 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: But I'm also I don't know, I don't know how 696 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: much like I'll probably keep using it because I don't 697 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: think it necessarily like changes that much to just like 698 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: not have that window into into the world. I think 699 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what happens once the rule 700 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: changes go into effect, which they pushed back to after today, 701 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 1: so after the election then new rules go into effect, 702 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: which I think was smart, but I don't know what 703 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: how much difference would they make really, But just as 704 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: far as like interactions, I mean, already you have a 705 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: ton of people who are like reporting racism and they're 706 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,399 Speaker 1: being like, this is not violate Twitter rules. And if 707 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,919 Speaker 1: we're going to go in the opposite direction of less rules, 708 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: it seems like there's going to be more rapid trolls 709 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: and that that might impact user interactions and you know, 710 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: just the general joy you get on the site as 711 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: somebody who's used to Twitter a lot like, I am 712 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: very addicted to Twitter. It's where I That's how I 713 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,439 Speaker 1: got started in the industry because despite having a degree, 714 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: getting a job it was real hard when I first 715 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: got here. Twitter gating my first couple of jobs. When 716 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: I got the check mark and fair aside, it helps, 717 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, make me seem more professional to other jobs 718 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 1: I was applying to, so that was really helpful. I 719 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: have an entire network of black lady delegates who are 720 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, work all across this industry and many different positions. 721 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 1: That's where our group chat lives is on Twitter. It's 722 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,399 Speaker 1: weird to think I might not be returning there soon. 723 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: I'm definitely seeing a huge drop in like followers as 724 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 1: people began to exit. And what's really hard is I'm 725 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 1: trying to find a space that can replace what Twitter 726 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: is for me, which is essentially a place that like 727 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 1: words first. I like Instagram. I don't mind taking a 728 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: picture of myself every now and again. I might even 729 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: hop on a video into my stories, but I'm not 730 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: trying to do that on the daily, and certainly not 731 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: as much as I between that's a lot. I checked 732 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 1: out Masodon, which is sort of like Discord and that 733 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: there are different hubs that you can join, but that 734 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: seems to the get the like universality of Twitter, where 735 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: if you're putting it on a board, everybody who's on 736 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: Twitter can see it on that board, whereas Masodon it's 737 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: like segmented. I guess it's very hard to understand. I'm 738 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 1: trying to learn. If you feel you're an expert in Massodon, 739 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: please talk to me. Tumbler just brought youth back so there, 740 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: so apparently yeah, they knew what was up. Yeah, to 741 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: answer your question, it does feel like this is like 742 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: there's been moments where people are like, we're all quitting Twitter. 743 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,919 Speaker 1: This feels different. It feels like things are dissolving on there. 744 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: I can't remember a time where for a full week, 745 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: like the content has just been like this bad. The 746 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: conversation seemed to all be about Elon Musk, which I'm 747 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: assuming is what he wanted in the first place. But 748 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: it just makes four and I don't know if that's 749 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,839 Speaker 1: you know, the new regime fucking with like how the 750 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 1: algorithm delivers tweets, But I do I do know that 751 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 1: last night when I was checking Twitter, I got to 752 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 1: like notific to just Elon Musk tweets in my feed, 753 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: and I've never gotten an Elon Musk tweet tweet in 754 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: my feed, but they like legitimate, genuine Elon must be 755 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: and like we want to be the place for truth 756 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:41,399 Speaker 1: or like you know, some some bullshit mainstream like kind 757 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: of appealing centrist take that's not the reality. I think 758 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,439 Speaker 1: it's so true what you were saying about iron Man. 759 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: I put Elon Musk in the same category as Jeffrey Dahmer, 760 00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: as these two figures who the zeitgeist dreamed up at 761 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: the same time that like Hollywood was creating a figure 762 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: that everybody wanted. So Jeffrey Dahmer, like, you know, I'm 763 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 1: still I think he was just a lazy person who 764 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 1: didn't like clean up a lot of the dead bodies, 765 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,879 Speaker 1: and he might have like tried a piece of like 766 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: one of his victims. But like the when he was 767 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: being questioned, he the police really wanted him to be 768 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 1: a cannibal, and it was right after Silence of the Lambs, 769 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: and so he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's me. 770 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a cannibal. Like the the evidence isn't 771 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: that strong. It just seems like he was a terrible 772 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: alcoholic who was like just had the way that you know, 773 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of alcoholics like don't clean up 774 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 1: after themselves, just have like you know, things from work 775 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:02,479 Speaker 1: strewn all over there apart racist killings all of yeah, 776 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 1: just racist murders all over the as like refrigerator and 777 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: you know. But so that's like, my this is not 778 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: a popular theory, by the way, but this is I've 779 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: always I've always suspected that and I've never been able 780 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: to like find the like, you know, the evidence that 781 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: it's like, yes, he definitely did and not that he 782 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: was just taking advantage of a thing. And it's just 783 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: so weird that like America had their big cannibal serial 784 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 1: killer right after Sounds of the Lambs was like a hit. 785 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I buy into this theory. Jack blowing 786 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: my mind. But I buy into it because queens will 787 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 1: if they think you did it. They'll, especially if you're 788 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: a person who has any kind of like learning disability, 789 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: your mental disability, or if you're like an addict is 790 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 1: currently in the throes of your addiction, like they lean 791 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 1: on you in such a way that you'll confess to 792 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is they're talking about, And especially 793 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: at that point if you already know you're screwed, like 794 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,240 Speaker 1: you might as well go out with a bang, like, yeah, 795 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 1: I'm the person who eats people. Don't up with me 796 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,800 Speaker 1: when I gets prisy, We'll take a bite out of you. Yeah. 797 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 1: And and Elon Musk came up right around the same 798 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 1: time as Tony Stark, like he was just somebody who 799 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,320 Speaker 1: was very successful in business. Like you know, despite what 800 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: their revisionist biographies will tell you, the only skill of 801 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 1: almost any big CEO that becomes a billionaire is that 802 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 1: they take advantage of their advantages, and they find a 803 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: weakness in the system and exploit it repeatedly until they 804 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: have more money than the system intended them to have. 805 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 1: Like when you look back and like to a person, 806 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: go person by person, it's just finding a weakness exploiting 807 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: it over and over and over again until you have way, way, 808 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: way too much money. And then they write these stories 809 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,800 Speaker 1: where it's all about like, well, I had this vision 810 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 1: and you know I did it all by myself, and 811 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: it's actually like no, you were just like in the 812 00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 1: right place at the right time, around the right people 813 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,240 Speaker 1: all got very lucky took advantage of your work stepped 814 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: all over people and well they yeah, yeah, and you know, 815 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: having this public persona that everybody really fucks with and 816 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 1: like that, you know, iron Man is inadvertently doing your 817 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 1: pr work for you. It's it's also happening, like it 818 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 1: kind of ties back to the polling thing, because it's 819 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,359 Speaker 1: happening at a time when we still believe that like 820 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 1: a technocrat could save us, that like this, we could 821 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: just keep getting better technology and answer you know, all 822 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: of these challenges that we had, even though like all 823 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: of the information we had coming in that was reliable 824 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: was like, no, the world is ending, you guys, there's 825 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 1: we have a climate disaster and like the most powerful 826 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 1: people in the world are unwilling to admit it. But 827 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,280 Speaker 1: what you're saying is Avatar was right and Marvel was wrong. 828 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: We picked the wrong. I am kind of saying that 829 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 1: I didn't want to come out and say, Joel, because 830 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 1: I know you would be pissed. But alright, real quick, 831 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: let's let's give the people something that they could be 832 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: watching that is not Twitter that like Wendell and Wild 833 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 1: is a movie that is from the artist who made 834 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 1: Nightmare Before Christmas and then had Tim Burton like slap 835 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: his name on it. But Henry Selick created that. He 836 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 1: created Coraline, which is like a classic stop motion animation 837 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: like visual extravaganza. His latest movie is a collaboration with 838 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: Jordan's Peel. It is supposed to be just like incredible, 839 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,240 Speaker 1: like one of the most visually like stunning movies in years, 840 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 1: which is like what happens every time this person releases 841 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: a movie and Netflix is just like not even telling 842 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,920 Speaker 1: people it exists. They're not like promoting it. It's pretty wild. 843 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 1: That wasn't another wild conversation sation that we can definitely 844 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 1: get into the idea of what is being and what 845 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 1: isn't being promoted. And I have to say that it 846 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: comes much more down to the algorithm and not as 847 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,840 Speaker 1: much like money and intent to promote. So I have 848 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: a lot of friends who work MPR and this is 849 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 1: like a very frustrating line for them. They're like, we 850 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: were her assets off trying to promote these films to 851 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: get in front of your eyes. But because we become 852 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 1: such disparate groups, because there are so many spaces where 853 00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: you can just opt out of ads, you're not frequently 854 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 1: and because less people are commuting to work now than ever. 855 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 1: Although a lot have returned, the spaces where you're used 856 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 1: to seeing ads are no longer being tapped into, and 857 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: so a lot of people are missing it. I've seen 858 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:47,760 Speaker 1: this promoted here and there, and because it's a Netflix movie, 859 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,800 Speaker 1: and because Netflix is currently in the throes of figuring 860 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 1: out like what is their next move, they're struggling to 861 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, they don't have the funds they might once 862 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 1: to have had to go full tilt. Even Disney has 863 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: had a bunch of properties come out this year and 864 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 1: the only thing they've leaned into in a crazy way 865 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: is Black Panther, where they were essentially like, if it's 866 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 1: a product, we'll put Black Panther on it. We do 867 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,399 Speaker 1: not care at this point. This is the movie that's 868 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 1: going to save our bottom line. It's also we're seeing 869 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: across p on the pr side. I'll come here and 870 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 1: promote this movie in case it hasn't crossed your timeline yet. 871 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: Henry Selick, as Jack just mentioned, is a genius director. 872 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 1: He did a Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline, and he 873 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 1: did it with major studios that have, you know, their 874 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 1: bottom line and their own specific desires. There's a reason 875 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,319 Speaker 1: you put Tim Burton on Nightmare before Christmas, right as 876 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 1: you know, he's coming off of this succuss of Beetlejuice 877 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 1: and some of his other films. UH. Edwards Is or 878 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,360 Speaker 1: Hands and stuff like that. It was and aimed to 879 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: bring in, you know, more teenage viewers, because this was 880 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: one of the first movies Disney did that wasn't strictly 881 00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: aimed at children. And it comes post their nineteen eighties 882 00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,040 Speaker 1: very dark phase. Then they have the Little Mermaid come 883 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: out and they're like very shining, and they weren't sure 884 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 1: how it was gonna check their dark days. If you 885 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: know anything about Disney in the late seventies early eighties, 886 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: it was a real problem for them. The studio almost 887 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 1: collapsed until Little Mermaid came out, and because of that, 888 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 1: Henry Sellek is constantly being lost lost, even though he's 889 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 1: one of the greatest are Like Country has ever produced. 890 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,120 Speaker 1: As far as visual creators. It costs a lot, a lot, 891 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 1: a lot of money to make stop motion. So he 892 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 1: goes to join Peel with Wendell and Wilde and he 893 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: created UH in partnership with Monkey Post Studio. The film 894 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: follows the story of Cat played by Lyric Ross, who 895 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,799 Speaker 1: has become hardened by the school to prison pipeline after 896 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 1: her parents died in a car crash. Kath blanes herself 897 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: as she ages, she becomes increasingly angry. As an orphan, 898 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: She's passed around between foster homes and detention centers until 899 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 1: she lands back in her hometown and all girls boarding 900 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: school school here sucks. The ones thriving town now resembles 901 00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: an abandoned factory town. Both families have left and the 902 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,279 Speaker 1: ones that stayed are a hoarded their wealth or are 903 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,880 Speaker 1: trying like heck to prevent what to preserve what little 904 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,880 Speaker 1: community is left. Eventually, Kat begins to find her people. 905 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 1: Raoul sam Zeleia, trans boy, eager to express himself, all 906 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,359 Speaker 1: stuck in a school for girls and this hell Air 907 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 1: played by Angela Bassett, a nun who was secretly a 908 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: demon hunter. When Cat discovers the way to bring her 909 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 1: parents back, she calls, most nuns are I think we 910 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 1: can all agree? Yeah? So, when Cat discovers a way 911 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 1: to bring her parents back, she calls to demons Wendel 912 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: and Wild Kickan, Michael Key and Jordan Peel from the Underworld, 913 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 1: and Calamity ensues, demons run amuck, Cat remains closed off 914 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,839 Speaker 1: from the community that's eager to help her, and two 915 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,879 Speaker 1: evil parents inspired to close the boarding school and turn 916 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 1: the surrounding lands into a prison. Cells return to animation 917 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 1: is a long overdue. Despite creating two of the most 918 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,800 Speaker 1: popular children's films in the past twenty years, no studio 919 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 1: is willing to bank roll and cost his next stop 920 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,720 Speaker 1: motion picture, And while Wendell and Wild lacks the whimsy 921 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 1: enlightness of his previous endeavors, it also put just the 922 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: boundaries of what children's films are willing to discuss with kids. 923 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 1: Trans writes and denial of gender affirmation, the depressions and 924 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: isolation of children lost in the system, and the strength 925 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 1: it takes to stand up to one's elders are all 926 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 1: under spread, all on display, under selic and peels pens. 927 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: On top of that, the animation is flawless. At times, 928 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: I forgot I was watching stop motion. The movement was 929 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 1: super fluid. The underworld is a blaze of dazzling green 930 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:29,760 Speaker 1: and tourly amusement park rides and rules. Art piece is inspiring. However, 931 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: the film does wrong long at a hundred and two minutes, 932 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 1: and while the messages are important, that there are so 933 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,760 Speaker 1: many characters and stuff plots of challenging to keep everything straight. 934 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,800 Speaker 1: As much as I love moments in the film, I 935 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 1: didn't feel the whole thing came together. But I'm glad 936 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,359 Speaker 1: Selic and Peel teamed up, and I'm hoping to see 937 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,759 Speaker 1: more out of the pair in the future. Selka's eager 938 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,839 Speaker 1: to craft more of his masterpieces, and it would be 939 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 1: great if you weren't begging or creatively stifled as he 940 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,319 Speaker 1: continued his career. You can watch Wendle and Wild on 941 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 1: Netflix right now. Come for the beautiful animation, stay for 942 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 1: the extraordinary vocal performance. Is Damn joel On one of 943 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: our one of our great film critics, and we're lucky 944 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 1: to have had an actual piece of film criticism from you. 945 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:13,960 Speaker 1: I hope to do it more. I should mentioned this 946 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: film did premiere at tiff a while ago. It's beautiful. 947 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: If you get a chance. I know what was screening 948 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 1: on It was doing a couple of screenings. I think 949 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 1: they're doing a couple of more special screenings. If you 950 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 1: get a chance to see it on the big screen. 951 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: It is truly, truly beautiful, and I think that you know, 952 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 1: having had this run with Monkey Pow, knowing that they're 953 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 1: trying to do more films like this. You know, I 954 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 1: think it takes a lot of guts to make a 955 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 1: film with an unlikable character, or it might be better 956 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: to say Cat is uninterested in being liked. You know, 957 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 1: I liked her a lot because she's a badass black 958 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 1: girl who's not taking anything one ship and is really 959 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: on a mission to sort of liberate herself from the 960 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 1: confines she's been left in. But I also think, you know, 961 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 1: I hope that getting to do this again and having 962 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: money in and more time, he'll be able to crash 963 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: something a little bit tightier toward us is seeing and 964 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 1: all these great pieces, so Sellok's great. I'm glad he 965 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 1: had this opportunity to tell this story. Yeah, and it's 966 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 1: in collaborating, like like you mentioned Jordan Peele, like co 967 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: wrote it. So like that Jordan Peele is one of 968 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 1: the only people who can open a movie like just 969 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 1: by working behind the scenes on a movie, you know, 970 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a Jordan Peel directed like a 971 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: movie that that like everybody's gonna turn out too. But 972 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: you would think that they would kind of lean into that. 973 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 1: But I do think like Disney, what Disney did with 974 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 1: Tim Burton and Nightmare Before Christmas kind of fucked up 975 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 1: anyone's ability to do that on a Henry Selick movie. 976 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 1: I think now he's like, this should is all me, baby, Yeah, 977 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 1: as it should be. As it should be. He deserved 978 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,919 Speaker 1: all that for so many people are like, oh, yeah, 979 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: you know Tim burn director that he didn't. It's presented 980 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 1: by him. He was a producer. He gave many a note. 981 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 1: He drew a lot of the characters, and then somebody 982 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,440 Speaker 1: else sculpted. But let's be real, there's a lot of 983 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: and especially if you're gonna do a stop motion picture, 984 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,480 Speaker 1: there's gonna be so many hands involved creatively. Like I 985 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 1: think it's just always important to recognize the directors to 986 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 1: do what to me seems an important I don't know 987 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,760 Speaker 1: if you guys have ever seen stop motion and action. 988 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 1: It is so tedious. It is such a difficult task. 989 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: The other one thing about the movies you get to 990 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: see Kega, Michael Key and Jordan Peele do their key 991 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 1: and peel stick a lot. The demons look like some 992 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 1: of the uh furious There was an airplane sketch they 993 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 1: did with where they had these strange beards. Those are 994 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,360 Speaker 1: on the characters at one point you get ay if 995 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: you've seen their football sketches where they call it to 996 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,160 Speaker 1: their like weird names, and they're like, just be a doofy, 997 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,439 Speaker 1: Like it's a lot of that energy. So their scenes 998 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,400 Speaker 1: are a lot of fun too. Yeah, and it's cool 999 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 1: that it's on the theme of like the School to prison, 1000 00:59:52,880 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: like Pipeline Hell yeah, you know, trans great and it's 1001 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 1: like all spooky, paranormal themed. It's very punk rock, whereas 1002 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 1: the other films are like again super into like The 1003 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 1: Whimsy and and sort of you know, Neil Game is 1004 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 1: like fairy Tale Center and The Nightmare Before Christmas is 1005 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 1: all about lore. This is just very much like my 1006 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 1: dad was in a punk rock and so am I 1007 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 1: have a giant boom box and spiked boots and bright 1008 01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 1: green hair. Fun with me if you dare kind of energy. 1009 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 1: It's very thirteen I think about the thirteen year old 1010 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,720 Speaker 1: I might have more appreciation for this film. That's who 1011 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 1: it was made for anyhow. And then I spoke to 1012 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 1: a woman whose parents died when she was young. She 1013 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 1: found a lot of semblance in the movie. She connected 1014 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,560 Speaker 1: a lot with the main character and felt you know, 1015 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:47,040 Speaker 1: it described her rage and anger post their desks really well. 1016 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 1: So a lot of people get a lot of different 1017 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,400 Speaker 1: things out of the movie, which I think, you know, 1018 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 1: is typically really hard to do. So definitely watch it. 1019 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 1: I give it a solid beeplus is. Yeah, I'll what 1020 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,919 Speaker 1: probably not have a chance to maybe maybe I will 1021 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 1: have a chance to watch it. But Mike, I say 1022 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 1: the PG thirteen is not for violence at all, and 1023 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 1: I didn't think the demons are particularly frightening and they're 1024 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 1: not like devilish or gory at all. I think it 1025 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: really comes down to subject matter, maybe some language if 1026 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 1: I remember expectfully. Yeah, I think, you know, my four 1027 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 1: year old is probably not ready for it, but it 1028 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 1: would be hard to give four year old attention on 1029 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,640 Speaker 1: this film, to be honest, I had to watch it 1030 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: twice before I felt I fully understood all of the 1031 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 1: things that were happening in it. Yeah. Although Selex said 1032 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 1: that he was like after Cortline wasn't like the movie 1033 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 1: that he necessarily or like, you know, it was a hit, 1034 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: but it wasn't like a huge hit, and it was, 1035 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, as you mentioned, so challenging to make. He 1036 01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 1: wasn't sure he was going to make another movie, and 1037 01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 1: then he the show Key and Peel was like just 1038 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: creating at such an amazing level that he said it 1039 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 1: inspired him to start working again, and like that, I 1040 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:11,360 Speaker 1: read that beautiful. Oh I love a full circle moment. 1041 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 1: I think cam feel is like I've I've always said, 1042 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 1: I think Jordan Peel's work as a comedic actor is underrated. 1043 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Like you know, before he made films, I was like, 1044 01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 1: that's my favorite comedic actor. Like his performances are just 1045 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 1: so subtle and like they're big. It's it's also not 1046 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 1: like me big, but some of his choices are I 1047 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 1: think to your point, amongst those big actions, you'll see 1048 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,240 Speaker 1: you do small things that you're like, what is happening there? 1049 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 1: That's weird And it's an interesting like character which I 1050 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 1: think sometimes gets lost in comedy, which is all about 1051 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 1: the punch line, But he really he talks to you 1052 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:54,880 Speaker 1: about how he builds horror around a joke set up 1053 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 1: to reveal a punchline, which if you've seen you know, 1054 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 1: uh nope, he totally get when you're watching it, because 1055 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing is stringing you along until that final 1056 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,160 Speaker 1: moment where you're like, oh my god, and it's almost funny. 1057 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,640 Speaker 1: It's comical in in a more of a like nebulous 1058 01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 1: universal way. It's wild. Yeah, he's extremely talented. It's so 1059 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,120 Speaker 1: good and yeah, I think Key and Peel like it. 1060 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 1: I think it'll last, like people will still be talking 1061 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: about it years. It holds up if you go back 1062 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 1: and watch if you haven't seen it in a while. 1063 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:29,480 Speaker 1: It's a good rewatch.
