Speaker 1: it's just a natural connection. Look, everybody does Simon and Garfunkele,
Speaker 1: Simon and Garfunkele. Betty White's gonna die like soon. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I eventually, Oh, look, this isn't news. This isn't me trying.
Speaker 1: I just see. I mean at least not at least
Speaker 1: once a week, but often enough for me to say that, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, there's some poised post about somebody protect Betty
Speaker 1: White this or that, and I'm like, gosh, she's almost
Speaker 1: a hundred. She is nice. She's gonna die. It is
Speaker 1: a miracle she's still around, and like, yes, be grateful
Speaker 1: for every second you have with her. But it's she's
Speaker 1: gonna die. She should die like some breaking news alert.
Speaker 1: You're just so sorry. I don't. We were talking about
Speaker 1: how everybody was gonna die, die, die, to die, die
Speaker 1: and this is something. Yeah, White's gonna die because she's
Speaker 1: gonna die, going to die is Patrick's gonna feel really
Speaker 1: bad at that, Katie. If it happens this week, at
Speaker 1: the end of the world will just be the two
Speaker 1: of them fighting over a volcano chess. But Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is not going to die, but he's jealous of Colin Powell. Tye, Yah, Katie.
Speaker 1: If Betty White dies this week, we need to have
Speaker 1: a talk about your time traveling. I know, I know. Um,
Speaker 1: I hope that does not happen. Say it every week
Speaker 1: for me, it does. Do not at me, do not
Speaker 1: at me, alight when she you can at me when
Speaker 1: she dies. Fuck, we've been talking about this for too long,
Speaker 1: speaking of do we want to talk about We'll get there.

Speaker 1: You know I'm sad about Betty White potentially die. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just need to say. The
Speaker 1: point of me saying that is to enjoy every minute.
Speaker 1: Do not live in the future, do not live in fear,
Speaker 1: but be prepared. That's all. You don't need to pre emptively.
Speaker 1: More so, enjoy every minute with like your loved ones.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if she is your loved one,
Speaker 1: then that people listening to the podcasts who are very
Speaker 1: close friends with She's got a huge This is actually
Speaker 1: going to be a surprise to you, Cody. But um,
Speaker 1: Betty White's family comprises a huge subset of our listeners. Um,
Speaker 1: she's got a huge family. I know you think that
Speaker 1: she's kids. Rate review and tell us about your relationship
Speaker 1: to Betty White. Still alive? She's still alive, Guys, when
Speaker 1: she's found dead, police should look at Katie first. Oh god,
Speaker 1: damn it. I've now sworn several times and it's three minutes.
Speaker 1: Should we Should we talk about Colin Powell? Should we
Speaker 1: just dive in and talk about the deceased? Why not?
Speaker 1: You know what? Why not? Yeah? He's dead as ship.
Speaker 1: He sucks. I mean, that's the blunt summary of his career.
Speaker 1: The long summary of his career is that he did
Speaker 1: a bunch of war crimes for I don't know, like
Speaker 1: fifty issue years and then he died. I listened to
Speaker 1: UM the Daily talking about Colin Powell when it was amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really tried to paint a more sympathetic
Speaker 1: picture of him. I guess is not amazing while still
Speaker 1: grappling with you know, you know who didn't Donald Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Donald Trump real Trump. Um. I hope that
Speaker 1: we talk as nicely about him when he dies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna read it because it's funny. They both suck.
Speaker 1: He Yeah, No, when he dies will be like, thank goodness,
Speaker 1: you eat ship dead man. Um, when he dies, I've
Speaker 1: already planned that. I'm going to tweet Ding Dong the
Speaker 1: witch is dead. I've thought about that for several years now.
Speaker 1: I'll do that for all of them. I was just
Speaker 1: going through. Um. So Powell, you know, fought in Vietnam,
Speaker 1: was an infantryman. We have like his his his diaries
Speaker 1: kind of his notes that he took on a daily basis,
Speaker 1: and every day it's like I went to village, burned crops,
Speaker 1: shot insurgents. Uh. You know. He talks about how the
Speaker 1: helicopters would like anytime they saw a man dressed in
Speaker 1: a certain way, shoot near him, and if he moved,
Speaker 1: it was evidence that he was he was viet Cong,
Speaker 1: so they would just kill him. Um. They would steal
Speaker 1: food from villages and then destroy the rest of the
Speaker 1: food in order to like starve the villages. Out and
Speaker 1: you know, presumably stopped them from providing food to the
Speaker 1: Viet Cong um. And then he played a fairly minor
Speaker 1: but not insignificant role in trying to cover up the
Speaker 1: Mylime Massacre after repeatedly executing and starving civilians as part
Speaker 1: of one of the cruelest warfare strategies in the history
Speaker 1: of US conflict. And then as a as a big boy,
Speaker 1: as a big man, big old, big old man, he
Speaker 1: got up in front of the United Nations and was like,
Speaker 1: there's no, this isn't a this isn't a debate, There's no,
Speaker 1: this is objective facts. Adam Hussein has has all these
Speaker 1: w m d s. We gotta we gotta go in
Speaker 1: and stop him. I'm Colin Powell. You can trust me.
Speaker 1: I'm not one of these crazy neocon nut fox And
Speaker 1: then it turns out he was. So I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about what I was hearing today. I
Speaker 1: think it was it's frustrating hearing uh, the journalistic media
Speaker 1: presentation of this same story. Um, you know, they of
Speaker 1: how he struggled and and and fought against and pushed
Speaker 1: back and was trying to be the voice of reason
Speaker 1: to George Bush and delay this, but ultimately he did it.
Speaker 1: He was told to go stand up there specifically because
Speaker 1: the world trusted him for whatever reason, and they didn't
Speaker 1: trust Dick Cheney, you know, so they had him go
Speaker 1: and convince people. And he's he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 1: He knew what he was doing at the time. So
Speaker 1: regardless of whether or not you want to frame him
Speaker 1: as trying to be the voice of reason, he wasn't.
Speaker 1: And he's complicit. Yeah, they all knew what they were doing.
Speaker 1: I think it was interesting, this whole Powell doctrine thing.
Speaker 1: Do you know about this? It's so funny. Uh, not funny,
Speaker 1: it's horrifying. The Powell doctrine being what he uh learned
Speaker 1: from Vietnam, being that you can only should only go
Speaker 1: We shouldn't go into open ended wars. You should only
Speaker 1: go for a really solid reason, but then also come
Speaker 1: in with enough might to get done quickly and leave
Speaker 1: and end endless wars. And then fast forward a number
Speaker 1: of years later to the war which he is directly
Speaker 1: responsible for. Have the consequences of our actions. Yeah, for
Speaker 1: a little bit of clarity, Like the Powell doctrine, it's
Speaker 1: it's a list of questions that you should have to
Speaker 1: answer if you're going to, like if you the United
Speaker 1: States are going to send troops in somewhere. Question one
Speaker 1: is is a vital national security interest threatened? Question two
Speaker 1: is do we have a clear attainable objective? Question three
Speaker 1: is have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?
Speaker 1: Question four is have all other nonviolent policy means fully exhausted?
Speaker 1: Question five is is there a plausible exit strategy to
Speaker 1: avoid endless entanglement? Question six? Have the consequences of our
Speaker 1: action been fully considered? Sections? Question seven is the action
Speaker 1: supported by the American people? In question eight, do we
Speaker 1: have genuine, broad international support? And that was involved, you know,
Speaker 1: in Vietnam whatever. He was involved in some shitty stuff,
Speaker 1: but he was more or less just a dude on
Speaker 1: the ground, right, didn't have any kind of leadership role
Speaker 1: at a significant level in that conflict. He did have
Speaker 1: a major leadership role in the invasion of Panama, which
Speaker 1: killed more civilians, uh than Noriega had killed during his
Speaker 1: time in power um and then had been killed by
Speaker 1: his military. The vast majority of people who died in
Speaker 1: the Panamanian invasion where civilians killed by US troops during
Speaker 1: indiscriminate bombing. UM. Again, question number six is have the
Speaker 1: consequences of our action been fully considered? Uh? Yeah. He
Speaker 1: was also um the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Speaker 1: Staff during the Desert Storm invasion. UM. And Uh, that's
Speaker 1: generally seen as like the good war that we had
Speaker 1: because it was over real quick. Not a lot of
Speaker 1: people died from an American perspective. Well, that's when he
Speaker 1: got the Everybody was like, oh, Colin Powell, this guy
Speaker 1: knows what's up. Yeah. But one of the things he
Speaker 1: orchestrated during that was a bombing campaign that completely destroyed
Speaker 1: Iraq's civilian infrastructure, which led to tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: people dying because they didn't have clean drinking water or
Speaker 1: access to food. Um. Was a direct violation of the
Speaker 1: Geneva Convention. We didn't like. We we like again, it
Speaker 1: was it was a good war because not a lot
Speaker 1: of Americans died and we were out quickly. And you
Speaker 1: could say, in fairness when you're asking like, does do
Speaker 1: we have a clear attainable objective? Like Desert Store in
Speaker 1: Panama were both examples of yeah, I mean we did.
Speaker 1: You can argue that it was like criminal to go
Speaker 1: in there in the first place. But the objectives in
Speaker 1: both cases were clear and there was a clear to
Speaker 1: find end date. So in that case they were better
Speaker 1: conflicts than anything that's come since. UM. But it still
Speaker 1: is this situation where, at no point, in any of
Speaker 1: the numerous conflicts that Powell had a leadership position during
Speaker 1: where the consequences of military action fully considered, at no
Speaker 1: point was Number six ever ever seriously asked or answered well,
Speaker 1: I was answered by like the actions taken? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yes. It turns out I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of people talking about how he uh in the years
Speaker 1: since you know, nine eleven and and her invasion, the
Speaker 1: never ending more and et cetera, how he has admitted
Speaker 1: that the intelligence was false UM, and admitted and under
Speaker 1: did his role, but also backed off from it, saying, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm doing what the president says. What am
Speaker 1: I supposed to be at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you know, like he's a warrior. But it's like he
Speaker 1: and he bemoaned UH in different interviews, like I know
Speaker 1: this is going to be the first line of my obituary. Um.
Speaker 1: And there's almost like this bitterness as if he didn't
Speaker 1: deserve it, he does deserve it exactly what he deserves.
Speaker 1: And it's appropriate that, Yes, it is the first line
Speaker 1: of his obituary, of every article, and it should be. Um.
Speaker 1: I guess there is a degree to which it's frustrating that, like,
Speaker 1: of all of the crimes against humanity committed by individuals
Speaker 1: in the Bush administration and by the administration collectively, like
Speaker 1: he's getting slammed for it, um harder than perhaps some
Speaker 1: others have gotten slammed for it. Um. Because he was
Speaker 1: the guy up in front of the UN making that argument. Um,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. And it's also the guy that
Speaker 1: got in and to make that argue. He's the guy
Speaker 1: who let not the one the only person that we blame.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, and he's convinced us and you
Speaker 1: convinced the world. Yeah. And he's the one who at
Speaker 1: least tacitly admit we made a lot of mistakes, um,
Speaker 1: which is like proof that he could have known that
Speaker 1: he could have been should have known at the time. Um,
Speaker 1: and he didn't. Uh. And it's it's of him. Well,
Speaker 1: if I don't want to go to war, but if
Speaker 1: we are going to we'll go to war, then I'm
Speaker 1: the one that should do it. Yeah, and that's dumb. Um.
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of soldiers throughout history have
Speaker 1: had that opinion, um, and their names in a number
Speaker 1: of cases where the German general staff in World War Two, Um,
Speaker 1: and you know what we call those people now, fucking Nazis. Um.
Speaker 1: That's always yeah, part of it, part of the argument, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have no It's one of those things. I I
Speaker 1: would be willing to bet if you met Colin Powell,
Speaker 1: all of the things being equal, you would have liked him.
Speaker 1: He seems like a thoroughly pleasant, likable human being who
Speaker 1: was who was nice and considerate in his personal life
Speaker 1: to to the people who were in it. He was
Speaker 1: good at charming people. Um. A lot of journalists who
Speaker 1: are very critical of of the Bush administration and talk
Speaker 1: to him liked him quite a lot. Um. You'll find
Speaker 1: a lot of cases of that. And that that doesn't
Speaker 1: matter because a lot of the most charming people in
Speaker 1: the history of the world have been war criminals. Because
Speaker 1: you can be a very nice person and a fucking monster.
Speaker 1: And in fact, it's more normal for monsters to be
Speaker 1: extremely nice, pleasant people than it is for them to
Speaker 1: be like howling. Yeah, Trump is a little bit of
Speaker 1: an anomaly. Most of them are very pleasant. You would
Speaker 1: you would probably all other things being cool, like George W.
Speaker 1: Bush if you got to know him, because the reason
Speaker 1: he got to be George W. Bush is he's charming.
Speaker 1: This ality of brutality, yeah, how it's how you really
Speaker 1: get it done. It's one of the reasons Trump wasn't
Speaker 1: able to do as much as he probably wanted to
Speaker 1: because he's he's violent, like really unpleasant, like yeah, just unpleasant. Pas.
Speaker 1: Look at the Trump administration obviously committed certainly at least
Speaker 1: its fair share of crimes against humanity. Um And but
Speaker 1: there were constant leaks, right, constant backfighting and people like
Speaker 1: selling each other and selling the administration out. That ship
Speaker 1: didn't happen to George W. Bush. You know why, because
Speaker 1: he inspired loyalty. Because he's a very pleasant person to
Speaker 1: hang out with. People tend to like him. But if
Speaker 1: if you're if you're leader is like a paranoid freak. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that vicious to everybody around him, no matter who.
Speaker 1: Um And, Yeah, that's gonna not only are people not
Speaker 1: gonna like that, but it's gonna rub off on other people,
Speaker 1: and this is going to create a culture where everyone
Speaker 1: is a paranoid freak. Yeah. I I think if you
Speaker 1: really under want to understand how what evil people are,
Speaker 1: like truly evil people, not just people who do bad things,
Speaker 1: but but but the real monsters amongst the folks who
Speaker 1: most deserve that term. Um, The Act of Killing is
Speaker 1: still like the best documentary for that because it features
Speaker 1: a journalist hanging out with these people who in some
Speaker 1: cases strangled thousands of human beings, like with machines on
Speaker 1: their own, and uh, you could that most of them
Speaker 1: are very nice people. M M. Yeah, it's uh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, I mean content warning. I guess it's fucking
Speaker 1: hard to watch. Yeah, it's it. It should be hard
Speaker 1: to watch. But that's that's the reality of of the
Speaker 1: most damn in a lot of cases, the most dangerous
Speaker 1: kinds of evil is it's yeah, they're they're people you
Speaker 1: would like in another context. Colin Powell, you probably could
Speaker 1: have gotten along with. I bet he was an exceptional
Speaker 1: dinner guest, right, And that's why like you get you know, uh,
Speaker 1: the marvelization sort of effect, like yeah, like you're not
Speaker 1: if you're not performatively a villain, then people aren't going
Speaker 1: to assume that things you're doing are villainous. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: if you are and you live in a golden tower,
Speaker 1: then maybe people will be the more suspicious of your actions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that Cody is why. The best depiction of a
Speaker 1: villain an American pop culture is Homer's boss from Heck
Speaker 1: Scorpio from that that episode one of the absolute classic.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, uh, he's so likable, he's so charming, it's amazing. Um,
Speaker 1: he is a literal super villain. Um. And even then
Speaker 1: after watching it, like Hank's all right, Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with Hank. You know what, I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with Yeah, I don't have a problem
Speaker 1: with them at all. I love products and services. You
Speaker 1: can't tell which I love more, but they're both great. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't have to compete. It's not a competition. You
Speaker 1: don't have to What is this the Communist? Yes, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen the show, so I'm just going to react
Speaker 1: really neutrally adds together everything and now we're back already, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're back, and we're I don't know, I had
Speaker 1: enough of a rant on Colon Powell. I figure I
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, one of the fair criticisms people
Speaker 1: could have of Behind the Bastards is that I have
Speaker 1: not really delved into the Bush administration in much of
Speaker 1: any detail. And some of it's just because, like I
Speaker 1: think everybody knows more or less what they did. Blow
Speaker 1: is a great podcast if you want to really granular
Speaker 1: look at it. But some of it's that just like
Speaker 1: it all makes me so fucking angry because I've spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time in the middle of the ship
Speaker 1: that they kicked up, and it I'm just bad at
Speaker 1: talking about it without like extremely it's extremely personal for you,
Speaker 1: for all of us, because we're a child doing it.
Speaker 1: It was the it was the war crimes that my
Speaker 1: parents like enthusiastically supported, um and it's a big part
Speaker 1: of your career. Yeah, it's just I don't know, one
Speaker 1: of those days we will, like I should like knowing
Speaker 1: what was going on even when it was happening, and
Speaker 1: like I didn't. I was like a dumb right wing
Speaker 1: ship head, Like I said, I probably would have been.
Speaker 1: That kind of feels like a different project than Behind
Speaker 1: the Bastards its own little So that's walking an arc
Speaker 1: that walks through your experience of it. I don't know,
Speaker 1: as we can. I can pitch you on your own life.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I wouldn't want to center my
Speaker 1: life experience, but you can war but you can talk
Speaker 1: about the shift and like you can talk about there's
Speaker 1: a lot through that lens. That's that's all that's interesting
Speaker 1: to hear. There's a lot to say. Um, But I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just gonna I'm just chilling out this
Speaker 1: week and having a fun read about all of the
Speaker 1: kids who got molested by the Boy Scouts, Like a
Speaker 1: hundred thousand Cody, It's outrageous. That's so fu Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's out of its mind. It's like Catholic church number.
Speaker 1: That's like, so that's such a large number that, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like database of all this um. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: actually kind of The Boy Scouts started keeping one in
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty called I think it was the p Files
Speaker 1: for Perfect files of like people who weren't supposed to
Speaker 1: be allowed to be Scout masters again because they've molested
Speaker 1: kids and gotten fired, but like a huge number of
Speaker 1: them got in again and again, and the Boy Scouts
Speaker 1: have this whole policy of like, well, we're never going
Speaker 1: to call the cops about this, like we'll just try
Speaker 1: to not hire them again. In but also when every
Speaker 1: other youth organization in the country starting A five starts
Speaker 1: requiring criminal background checks for their employees, which is literally
Speaker 1: the minimum, they fought like relentlessly against the idea UM
Speaker 1: and as a result, repeatedly hired convicted child molesters. No
Speaker 1: it doesn't um. Yeah, anyway, a little preview of an
Speaker 1: upcoming behind the Bastard Building the Leaders of Tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: unfortunately because like literally like more than a quarter of
Speaker 1: Congress people were Boy Scouts. Uh, it's like huge. I
Speaker 1: mean I was a boy Scout. I loved the Boy Scouts.
Speaker 1: A great time in the Boy Scouts had an okay time.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things when I when I talked
Speaker 1: to like my parents about like like my dad was
Speaker 1: Catholic and so I talked about like the crimes of
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church and he's like, like, I get it.
Speaker 1: I know it happened, but like I was an altar
Speaker 1: boy and like nothing ever happened. And I can get
Speaker 1: that because like, yeah, I was in the Boy Scouts
Speaker 1: for a long time and it was great for me,
Speaker 1: And I don't think I or anyone in my troop
Speaker 1: was molested, but like a hundred thousand kids were. So
Speaker 1: it's just like thing, it's this, it's it's yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's it's the thing that um is so morally complicated
Speaker 1: about it. It's just like squaring like, well, this was
Speaker 1: great for me, it was also a nightmare. Like on
Speaker 1: the whole seemed to hold both truths in their mind
Speaker 1: that just because I had this experience doesn't mean someone
Speaker 1: else has a bad experience. And it's my job to
Speaker 1: listen and hear what other people share their experiences. And
Speaker 1: it could have happened to me, Yeah, it sure could have.
Speaker 1: I was alone a lot with a bunch of dudes
Speaker 1: that my parents decided to trust me with because they
Speaker 1: were boy Scots, and it turned out they were all fine.
Speaker 1: But who knows, you know, happened to a lot of kids.
Speaker 1: The P files, the P files, Yeah, something like that. Um,
Speaker 1: it's bleak. And there's a lot of weird ship about
Speaker 1: Robert Baden Powell, uh uh, and some stuff he said
Speaker 1: about kids, although I don't think he was a child molester,
Speaker 1: but he definitely said some messy stuff. Maybe not but uh,
Speaker 1: I think he was sexually attracted to boys. I don't
Speaker 1: think he ever had sex with any boys. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: he was. He was a weird one. UM. There's a
Speaker 1: lot to say. Again, we're gonna We're about to do
Speaker 1: an episode this week. It's going to be a fun
Speaker 1: time for everybody. Robert's really looking forward to that. UM.
Speaker 1: What should we talk about now? Guys talk about some strikes?
Speaker 1: IATs yeahs YATSI. UM. So you might have seen in
Speaker 1: social media that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Speaker 1: UM producers have reached a tentative contract deal with the
Speaker 1: IoTs leadership. UM, and there there was some celebrating because
Speaker 1: you know, otherwise this strike would have begun a gun
Speaker 1: yesterday Monday. UM. But the reaction is very very mixed,
Speaker 1: and so the jury is still out on this. It
Speaker 1: seems to be a little bit of a clusterfuck of
Speaker 1: a situation here. UM. Part of the problem being that
Speaker 1: this is you know, I mean, the amazing thing about
Speaker 1: this is that it's a industry. Why strike, you know,
Speaker 1: what would have would have been or could be. UM.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot that needs to get incorporated into
Speaker 1: this deal. And I think that there were some things
Speaker 1: that were meant and there was a lot that has
Speaker 1: not been met, and the prevailing feeling that I'm getting
Speaker 1: from my social media feeds. But I shouldn't say in
Speaker 1: general because I don't know. I'm not a member. Um Uh.
Speaker 1: It seems to be disappointment and frustration at giving in
Speaker 1: too soon during a once in a lifetime opportunity when
Speaker 1: you have the world's attention. Um. And it seems like
Speaker 1: like that might be true. Yeah, I'm going to read
Speaker 1: a quote from Max schwartz Um, a studio electrical lighting
Speaker 1: technician and the local seven to eight Young Workers Committee
Speaker 1: co chair. UM. He wrote the statement, while people may
Speaker 1: argue that this is a historic victory, and for some
Speaker 1: locals like eight seven one, it is, it feels to
Speaker 1: live up to the situation before us, never again in history,
Speaker 1: while our union have the leverage against mega corporations like
Speaker 1: it has now to create deep sustainable structural change. UM
Speaker 1: yeah it so. Yeah. I'm not sure exactly where things
Speaker 1: stand now, but I think that it goes back out
Speaker 1: and people are gonna like talk about it individually within
Speaker 1: their different chapters. I don't know, I hear there's a
Speaker 1: lot of complaints still that it doesn't go far enough.
Speaker 1: There's still like a lot of time people are going
Speaker 1: to be required to do. There's some discussion I've seen online, uh,
Speaker 1: particularly in comments on Naked Capitalism where people involved in
Speaker 1: this and the John Dear strike or kind of chatting,
Speaker 1: and there's discussion that maybe the success of the John
Speaker 1: Deere strike and the leverage they have is going to
Speaker 1: inspire ayatsy folks to not accept the deal and push back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I want them to get everything they can
Speaker 1: because for for fucking sure, the companies like the Disney
Speaker 1: and whatnot are well right, and like also like now
Speaker 1: is the time right, Like if except this literally the
Speaker 1: only time, then yeah, because there's there's this there's clearly
Speaker 1: this attempt where they're like, oh, you might not get
Speaker 1: the Mandalorian in time to like rally the fans against
Speaker 1: the people against the people without whom there's no content,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to like UM and it's hard. It's tricky.
Speaker 1: I understand that this is a daunting um position for
Speaker 1: leaders to be in UM because a strike obviously would
Speaker 1: fuck the student deos, but they are rich the people
Speaker 1: that the strikers are not. These people are fighting for
Speaker 1: a living wage. And it is a precarious situation to
Speaker 1: be putting everybody in Um, how long will we be
Speaker 1: out of work? What's going to happen? Um? And so
Speaker 1: I understand that it's a really big cost benefit analysis,
Speaker 1: but again, once in a lifetime, this is the moment.
Speaker 1: This is the moment, and we kind of need people
Speaker 1: to seize this moment. We need people to stand strong
Speaker 1: right now and fight, fight, fight for the things that
Speaker 1: are important. UM. And the fact that there are people,
Speaker 1: uh that there communicating with these other industries and other
Speaker 1: people on strike seems like a very good sign. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the kind of organization that and create real power
Speaker 1: for each movement. UM. I didn't realize that that's what
Speaker 1: was going on. And that's very good. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll see, but I do want my mandalawan ms. Look.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think what's clear here is that Pedro Pascal,
Speaker 1: if he really wants to support the struggle of people
Speaker 1: to to liberate themselves, needs to just put out a
Speaker 1: daily video during the strike where he just he just
Speaker 1: he just reads stuff. I don't care what it is.
Speaker 1: Get your shirt off, maybe take your shirt off and
Speaker 1: read stuff in front of web. Maybe take your shirt off,
Speaker 1: maybe keep it off, maybe keep it off, reading like
Speaker 1: a toylightsaber and go. Yeah, literally anything, just just just
Speaker 1: move shirtless on camera for us. These are all great suggestions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hit hit Pedro up on Twitter, ask ask him to
Speaker 1: support Yachtzi by um, just because it also it looks
Speaker 1: so confining on him, you know, in l A's warm um.
Speaker 1: So you know, even now, even in even in October,
Speaker 1: even in October, take your shirt off, Pedro, Come on,
Speaker 1: Pedro with enough sexual October, Pedro. We know that friend
Speaker 1: of Betty White, Pedro Pascal is listening right now, so off, well,
Speaker 1: they have to be friends because Betty White was on
Speaker 1: the community and Pedro Pascal was on the community zoom
Speaker 1: thing where they read that one episode, and he took
Speaker 1: over for that guy's role in the episode after there.
Speaker 1: So there they got to bed. He read, uh what Shane, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the the lawyer guy who was like reading Pierce's will. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what That's what he thought. He must know Betty White.

Speaker 1: just broke. That's not related to Dan Bongino on. Come,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that we I'm sure that we can find
Speaker 1: the through line here together. Um yeah, Sophie. Sophie sent
Speaker 1: us um this page six item of Kanye West Dawn's
Speaker 1: bizarre mask. It's also like more I just want to clarify.
Speaker 1: It's also in like more reputable sources. I'm sure, but
Speaker 1: that's what. It's also in the Rolling Stones, Patrick said
Speaker 1: the best photos. Sorry, it is an unbelievably disturbing mask.
Speaker 1: It's true. What do they do? What are they doing? Guys?
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the mask that our friend Dave
Speaker 1: Bell wore for forty eight straight hours while he was
Speaker 1: playing the Alien Isolation video game in his bedroom. It does.
Speaker 1: It is reminient, reminiscent of that. It is, Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fucked up. It's fucking weird. Like it's the kind
Speaker 1: of okay, it's the kind of thing that like, okay,
Speaker 1: Kanye walking on with his mask. I don't care why
Speaker 1: if it's like an anxiety thing or like some art
Speaker 1: bullshit whatever, Just exactly don't care. Fine, more power to you,
Speaker 1: Love you buddy, keep wearing the mask around. It's very disturbing.
Speaker 1: I don't care what people meetings with Michael Cohen. What
Speaker 1: what the fun Because he's Kanye West. He just does ship.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't like what look he's like, he don't know,
Speaker 1: he's like you, I want to it's probably political. No,
Speaker 1: maybe not maybe, No, he's he's Look, he's he's he's ill, right,
Speaker 1: like he's been he's been committed before, like he's he's
Speaker 1: he's ill. But he's one of the wealthiest people in
Speaker 1: the world. So he's never going to get treated. He's
Speaker 1: just gonna get enabled. And he's gradually pushed away the
Speaker 1: people who did at one point try to like push
Speaker 1: for him to get treated, and he's he's sick, but
Speaker 1: he's he's rich and I because he's rich, and because
Speaker 1: he's not ever going to like be in danger other
Speaker 1: than you know, not taking care of his mental health,
Speaker 1: but whatever purpose so that people would not recognize him
Speaker 1: the first ten minutes we can get down to people
Speaker 1: who wanted photos and to say hello. So he put
Speaker 1: on this mask to give him someone. First off, I
Speaker 1: don't know Kanye well, not a fan of his music
Speaker 1: in particular, nothing against it. If I saw that walking
Speaker 1: down the street, I met, well, that's Kanye West. That's
Speaker 1: clearly Kanye West are more conspicuous. But Robert, that is
Speaker 1: a really important thing. That you said that he's not well.
Speaker 1: We have to all that doesn't mean what you guys doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not well. He's not well, and he like that
Speaker 1: should be the beginning of every conversation about on a
Speaker 1: Kanye West stunt. Can we can we talk about Michael
Speaker 1: Cohen roll good guy? When we suggested, when we suggest
Speaker 1: to Cohen that maybe he should try wearing a mask
Speaker 1: around town from our privacy, he jokingly fired back, I've
Speaker 1: seen your face. Maybe you need a mask. What a man,
Speaker 1: what a great man? Like some classic Trump ship Hell
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, same guy. Will say, the best thing about
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen is that he is responsible for the one
Speaker 1: good joke Donald Trump ever told a legitimately exceptional joke,
Speaker 1: which was it was when it was when Michael Cohen
Speaker 1: like came out and like said that he was testifying
Speaker 1: against Trump and started like doing his whole like throwing
Speaker 1: trumpet of the bus thing, and Trump just tweeted, I
Speaker 1: wrongly recommend that you not enlist the legal representation of
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen's actually very funny. It was a good joke occasionally. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: the thing is, it's not even occasionally. It's just he's
Speaker 1: just a funny He's funny. He's the funniest president will
Speaker 1: ever have. There's no his Statementwell, it's hysterically like I
Speaker 1: don't want him back, and if it would be, it
Speaker 1: would be really nice if he redacted soon. But like, yeah,
Speaker 1: very funny. Yeah, but usually it's he's funny because he's
Speaker 1: just a goober. And that was actually telling a joke.
Speaker 1: He's not being an alien man who like he was
Speaker 1: actually like that was actually just a very well constructed
Speaker 1: joke that he told on the Twitter dot com. Um, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we've really come around on Donald Trump here today, haven't look.
Speaker 1: I fairer not If a man tells a good joke,
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him credit for it. I spent
Speaker 1: too long in the comedy world to not not not
Speaker 1: do that. And you call it like you see him
Speaker 1: call him like a sea calling balls and strikes a
Speaker 1: sticker or you know, nie slapper. There's the two the
Speaker 1: two options. Um, why is this the second meeting they've
Speaker 1: had together? I don't know. Like who again, who the
Speaker 1: fuck knows? Like they could be putting together an album,
Speaker 1: like they could be about to drop a Michael Cohen
Speaker 1: Kanye West joint. Nothing would surprise me, truly, could be
Speaker 1: anything they say. Real estate, sure, yeah, of course if
Speaker 1: you're West, Michael Cool real estate scummy lawyers, yes, if
Speaker 1: i'm If I'm billionaire Kanye West, the guy I'm going
Speaker 1: to for my real estate questions is disgrace lawyer Michael Estate.
Speaker 1: Know they're they're making a book or some something. Maybe
Speaker 1: they're launching a podcast. We don't listen, but I definitely listen.
Speaker 1: You would definitely right now. Yeah, I only listen to
Speaker 1: one podcast. It's fine. What's the podcast you listen to? Oh?
Speaker 1: And why is it? Come Town? It's called Rude Tales
Speaker 1: of Magic. It's incredible. Oh oh on on the Small
Speaker 1: Beans network. Right, No, it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 1: D and D podcast with Branson Reese, comic artists. Funny.
Speaker 1: This isn't like I wasn't intending to like plug this
Speaker 1: this show, but if you want to go to their Patreon,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's the only podcast I listened to and
Speaker 1: to us from. Yeah, no, you don't I know for
Speaker 1: a fact that you don't. Cody has never listened to
Speaker 1: any of our podcasts the time. I don't listen to
Speaker 1: my pod. I've said it, it's been said. I listened
Speaker 1: to Knowledge Fight and uh, I listened to my favorite podcast,
Speaker 1: The Serial Vapists, which I downloaded seven years ago. What
Speaker 1: it was about. Oh, it's a podcast about vape culture
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. It's hosted by four men who are
Speaker 1: calling their podcast The Serial Vapists was a bad idea? Yeah, yeah, maybe? Wow?
Speaker 1: Did you know that there was that New Zealand had
Speaker 1: an official wizard? Yes? Yes, I was aware of that
Speaker 1: because he had the job I wanted. Why don't they
Speaker 1: have it anymore? Wait? Wait, so I have so Robert,
Speaker 1: did you know about this before he uh was fired? Yes,
Speaker 1: it's it's literally the only job I've ever actually wanted.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're going to have to explain this to me.
Speaker 1: They have a wizard, Katie. He's actually the city Wizard.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistakes, He's the christ Church city Wizard.
Speaker 1: What kind of wizarding does he dabble in? Well, whatever
Speaker 1: wizarding he dabbles in, he also dabbles in some sexual harassment,
Speaker 1: which is why he's no longer the Christ unpleasant. He's
Speaker 1: not a nice man. Look, he's a wizard. Nobody expects
Speaker 1: wizards to be nice. I didn't think that was a
Speaker 1: thing that existed in real life. Is my confinusence only
Speaker 1: once and only one place and not anymore, which is
Speaker 1: the greatest tragedy in his job other than sexual harassment.
Speaker 1: You know, he sometimes you needs some magic done. He's
Speaker 1: gotta go. He's gotta they're they're opening them all or
Speaker 1: something and they need some magic at them all. He
Speaker 1: doesn't magic hat trick. He's like a communicator for like
Speaker 1: the city. Yeah, but like he's like surgery. In Portland,
Speaker 1: we have a guy who rides a unicycle that shoots
Speaker 1: fire out of his bagpipes while he's on his unicycle,
Speaker 1: which is layman sucks. Actually, I'm sorry, but that um
Speaker 1: is more specific to me than the general term wizard. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean it's very specific because there's only one city wizard.
Speaker 1: But what's his job? Duty? And to be a wizard?
Speaker 1: Katie what? Okay, when you're watching of the Rings Katy story,
Speaker 1: when you're watching Lord of the Rings, are you thinking,
Speaker 1: what is his job? What? Does Gandolf do? How does
Speaker 1: he make his Moneyand I know has some specific skill
Speaker 1: set which is magic. Yeah that's what the same with
Speaker 1: the Wizard of christ Church. He does magic and he's
Speaker 1: an asshole. Every wizard has the same job. They do
Speaker 1: magic and they're a dick from Elminster to Gandolf, whatever
Speaker 1: wizard you want to talk about their assholes and they
Speaker 1: do magic. That's wizards. They're just assholes. Didn't we have
Speaker 1: something like that? Yeah? We should. Actually that is literally
Speaker 1: the no Welcome back part or maybe working title was
Speaker 1: based off wid Yeah, it sure was. And fucking look,
Speaker 1: Alan Moore, wizard, comic book writer, tried to end the
Speaker 1: world with a spell, wove it into one of his
Speaker 1: comic books. May have succeeded. You can't say he didn't
Speaker 1: look at what's happening. We're watching it happen, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Who knows where all this came from. Maybe a wizards
Speaker 1: job that lives inside of his soul, We don't know.
Speaker 1: All I want is to be a city wizard or
Speaker 1: a national wizard. I'd be the country's Well. I hear
Speaker 1: that there's a job opening there in christ Church, called
Speaker 1: me up. Just send a darn you call her up.
Speaker 1: You're the wizard. I know she's read one of my articles.
Speaker 1: So maybe I'll get to be a wizard. Yeah. Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: You get an annual salary of grand that's enough. Pretty magical. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's enough for wizard stuff. Can you zoom into your
Speaker 1: wizard duties? Um? No, but you can astral project, which
Speaker 1: is like zoom. Yeah, I can call. I can call
Speaker 1: it zoom. It's zoom but a little windier. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: can project my voice. Do you mean like make a
Speaker 1: phone call? No, anyway, I found out that there was
Speaker 1: an official Wizard of New Zealand. It's very fun. Fired
Speaker 1: and I just I had to bring it up. Imagine
Speaker 1: getting fired from your job as a wizard. Unbelievable. It did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's gotta be like one of the easiest jobs
Speaker 1: to keep. If you want to keep it, keep your mouth.
Speaker 1: I mean, can you give me the enample of a
Speaker 1: trick that the city wizard. I would say that what
Speaker 1: we know of wizards suggests there's actually high turnover. For example,
Speaker 1: the Lord of the Rings trilogy takes place over a
Speaker 1: roughly thirteen month period. We are introduced to two wizards,
Speaker 1: half of whom are unemployed. By the end of the book. True,
Speaker 1: and also one the other one makes a career change.
Speaker 1: He does, he does, he does make a shift, He
Speaker 1: switches jobs exactly. It's greater white. So yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of turnover, Robert. Yes, look, the job title alone is
Speaker 1: worth the It's like being a journalist, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that you're the wizard of my heart. So
Speaker 1: there's that thank you, thank you. But I could try
Speaker 1: to get that be my my job title. You could,
Speaker 1: and you should, I think. Anyway, we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get Alan Moore on the podcast. Okay, yes please literally
Speaker 1: my only dream. Yeah, absolutely, joke, but yes, no, he's
Speaker 1: a beautiful maniac. He should be the city Wizard of
Speaker 1: Christ or wherever he is. He's like the official Wizard
Speaker 1: of wherever he is at that moment. Yeah, it's somewhere
Speaker 1: in like the Midlands, I think, Yeah, the official Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to look into this some more,
Speaker 1: but we can continue. We can continue this conversation. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we have a steam here today. Well, I have more
Speaker 1: to say about wizards. Well I always I have. We're
Speaker 1: not going to talk about it, but I just want
Speaker 1: to say, if you've been if you've watched if you're listening,
Speaker 1: if you've watched squid Game, you need to know tempoole
Speaker 1: and ah, some sort of contingent people on the on
Speaker 1: on the internet seem to believe not only that it
Speaker 1: doesn't really have a political message, but that if it did,
Speaker 1: it's anti communism, and um, it is hilarious. It's embarrassing. Um,
Speaker 1: it's very funny. I love it because I love for them.
Speaker 1: We three of the people, three of the four people
Speaker 1: in the zoom room have not seen squid Game. But
Speaker 1: all of the people in the zoom room do are
Speaker 1: know that it is in fact political. It's clearly it's
Speaker 1: clearly is I mean, Yeah, there's a scene in which
Speaker 1: a lady it expresses that she fled North Korea for
Speaker 1: South Korea thinking capitalism would be better, and specifically does
Speaker 1: not say that it's any better, like while she's death game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: while she's a death game. The message of that scene
Speaker 1: is not look at how much better capitalism is. It's
Speaker 1: actually these these are both trash and like the people
Speaker 1: of Korea deserve better than either of these systems. I
Speaker 1: love when people don't understand blatant blatant, their purposely misunderstanding it.
Speaker 1: I think some people. I think some people are purposely
Speaker 1: misunderstanding it, Like there's no way Temple actually thinks that, Like, no,
Speaker 1: I can't know, he doesn't think anything other than what
Speaker 1: what is the thing I can say to get people
Speaker 1: to tweet angrily and thus make more money? Exactly? It's
Speaker 1: it's attention stuff and we're giving it to him now.
Speaker 1: I just think it's so funny, like it's out there
Speaker 1: and people some people do actually think that that this
Speaker 1: is true, that people read too much into things and
Speaker 1: like you're interpreting it when it's not there. Um, And
Speaker 1: that's just like such a a sad sort of way
Speaker 1: to watch art. Yeah, it's the reason that conservatism is
Speaker 1: like so so fundamentally soulless and dead unless they're actively
Speaker 1: physically trying to harm people, which is why that's the
Speaker 1: only thing that like their street movements ever get excited
Speaker 1: about is is assaulting, and what most of art is
Speaker 1: about too. Yeah, it's just about all they have is
Speaker 1: doing violence. Um, because they reject the idea that art
Speaker 1: should be about anything actually meaningful, because inherently meaning, like
Speaker 1: real artistic meaning, always runs against the things that they
Speaker 1: believe about the universe. Because the universe they believe in
Speaker 1: is is devoid of beauty. M hm. Yeah, unless it's
Speaker 1: like pretty columns or paintings of landscapes. That's all that's
Speaker 1: all it is to them. Yeah, Hitler shit, um yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it was one of those like realizing as a kid,
Speaker 1: oh wow, the only art uh that that like as
Speaker 1: conservative as she was, My mom's very favorite movie was Alien,
Speaker 1: and the message of Alien is pretty anti capitalist. Actually,
Speaker 1: if you if you want to watch it, he's not.
Speaker 1: Ridley Scott is not saying nothing about capitalism in Alien.
Speaker 1: Oh god no, I mean that's that's the other That's
Speaker 1: the fascinating thing too, because like you know, you see
Speaker 1: it with like an Ian Miles Tahn word ever talking
Speaker 1: about robo cop and like I bet you think political, yes,
Speaker 1: Paul Vera Hooven, it was never not talking about the
Speaker 1: fact that the United States was a death cult. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's just like and and there's you know,
Speaker 1: maybe an argument to be made that like some things
Speaker 1: these days are a little more on the nose and
Speaker 1: more obvious. But yeah, I've seen people like candy Man,
Speaker 1: the new the new version candy Man came out and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, they put their woke politics about gentrification
Speaker 1: in this, and it's like, that's what it was about.
Speaker 1: Like also, like the idea that putting politics and horror
Speaker 1: movies is like, why are you doing this? Like that's
Speaker 1: like the one of the most political genres in existence. Yes, political,
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean I my opinion on drowning kids
Speaker 1: in the lake at Summer Camp was changed inevitably exactly
Speaker 1: because of the art. I used to be very pro that.
Speaker 1: I just go on a limb and say that art
Speaker 1: has always been political. Well it's a it's like an
Speaker 1: expression of like emotions and values and experiences. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not always political, but it's always But that's been
Speaker 1: a part of art tangled up in it exactly. Um.
Speaker 1: And it's just hilarious to look at something that is
Speaker 1: like not just like wow, there's like a message in there,
Speaker 1: but explicitly political, where even the creators out there talking
Speaker 1: about how like, yeah, one of the characters was is
Speaker 1: kind of like Donald Trump, don't you think? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: it's like, guys, come on, I I have to say
Speaker 1: Tim Pool's take on on the squid Game is very funny,
Speaker 1: um and and as dumb as you'd expect. But my
Speaker 1: favorite is the guy who calculated that while they spent
Speaker 1: like ten he spent the writer spent ten years writing it,
Speaker 1: and the network spent twenty four million filming it, and
Speaker 1: it made more than nine million dollars. But if the
Speaker 1: writer had just bought fifteen thousand bitcoin in two thousand nine,
Speaker 1: he would have made more problems content. It's just I
Speaker 1: saw that that was I will say that was definitely
Speaker 1: a troll. It has to be. It has you're talking about.
Speaker 1: It is exactly the kind of thing someone would say.
Speaker 1: It is, like you undis indistinguishable from reality, indistinguishable from
Speaker 1: like an ironic crypto discussically yes, um, Like you know,
Speaker 1: half the people that were that were responding that tweet
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, you're right anyway, go watch the Good
Speaker 1: Game and the then the Alien TV show that's political.
Speaker 1: Now they're making Alien political. I can't believe it. Oh no,
Speaker 1: they're making Alien a show about low paid truckers whose
Speaker 1: lives are sacrificed for a tiny chance at profit by
Speaker 1: faceless corporate executives who we never see in the movie
Speaker 1: um and who literally have a member of the crew
Speaker 1: whose only job is to murder everybody if that is
Speaker 1: the most profitable outcome. Uh, that movie, they're they're, they're
Speaker 1: they're putting politics in it. Coding is disgusting. I know
Speaker 1: they're putting politics in the series, whose second movie was
Speaker 1: fundamentally an allegory for the foolishness of the Vietnam War
Speaker 1: and the uselessness of advanced military systems and budgets in
Speaker 1: in fighting scumentation. I just watched, Uh, snow Piercer, a
Speaker 1: movie about how public trans about trains, about nothing but trains,
Speaker 1: and how trains are bad. Actually trains are bad. We
Speaker 1: should just fly. Yes, the meaning of snow Piercer, I don't. Well,
Speaker 1: someone hasn't watched snow Piercer. Then, well, it's about how
Speaker 1: trains are bad, trains are bad, and we should give
Speaker 1: fish to the cops. Yeah, you're you're you followed. Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is this a culture podcast? Yeah, I mean once a
Speaker 1: month culture cast, everybody comes and talks about the things
Speaker 1: that they're watching. Everybody comes and ye, starting with Dan Bungino.
