Speaker 2: It's just.
Speaker 4: I'm So Bad aka The Dogmeister A K. J Lo
Speaker 4: The Real One, the real, real real Me, the real,
Speaker 4: real real jal to Boston.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: I'm going to release my Yeah, my documentary is gonna
Speaker 4: be the real real Me right.
Speaker 2: From the heart, mind, Dreams and Souls of Jamie Lotus.
Speaker 4: Trailer, My Galactic, Michael mich Galactic, Like what is it, Michalactic.
Speaker 4: Group of celebrities is going to be. It's going to be.
Speaker 4: You guys will be there.
Speaker 2: Oh I think you said celebrities.
Speaker 4: Though the look, it's but like the real real me
Speaker 4: is this podcast. It's like, you guys, the Dope Boys
Speaker 4: will be there, they'll be there as well. There you
Speaker 4: know it's there.
Speaker 1: Does her movie like take place in like a heaven
Speaker 1: of celebrities? The the other j.
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, the other j Lo's movie. I didn't
Speaker 4: get through it. Through it. I wanted to watch it
Speaker 4: so that I could. I started it. I got about
Speaker 4: halfway in, and it is just like a series of
Speaker 4: disjointed bad music videos, but it's connected by Jlo in therapy,
Speaker 4: and her therapist, of course, is Fat Joe. And Fat
Speaker 4: Joe is like, well, why don't you say, like it's
Speaker 4: about her journey to find love? So you I think
Speaker 4: Ben Affleck shows up in the back half. I didn't
Speaker 4: get that far, but she's constantly talking about astrology. And
Speaker 4: then it cuts to heaven where astrology lives, and there's
Speaker 4: like a celebrity court. Here's twelve celebrities, each represent a
Speaker 4: different astrological sign. Post Malone is there, Jane Fonda is there.
Speaker 1: Jane Fondane Fonda, Jane Fonda as like Sagittarius.
Speaker 4: Oh, they're all playing different sides. Neil deGrasse Tyson is there.
Speaker 4: It's a weird group of people, and you can tell
Speaker 4: the way it was filmed that none of them were
Speaker 4: in the same room.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: But what I really wanted to watch it and why
Speaker 4: I'm going to get through it is because the real
Speaker 4: good movie is the documentary about the making of the movie,
Speaker 4: in which all twelve celebrities are like, Jlo, you shouldn't
Speaker 4: do this. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: Really. Yeah, I was reading the Vanity Fair piece that
Speaker 2: came out in advance of it, where all the best
Speaker 2: parts are things like Jane Fonda being like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know, girl, Like I don't know if I would
Speaker 3: do this if I were you, but like, I guess
Speaker 3: if you really want me to, I guess, but like,
Speaker 3: for real, I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4: I truly, I take I would take Jane Fonda's pr
Speaker 4: advice very seriously, right, but Jlo did not listen. I guess.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm excited to watch it. I guess.
Speaker 4: Like there's a good portion of it is her like
Speaker 4: being stressed out to Ben Affleck on the caw and
Speaker 4: him being like, it's all good, babe, don't worry.
Speaker 3: Are you smoking inside? Again, no fucking wind. Okay, So
Speaker 3: let's see post malone. Jack, that's your zodiac sign. Post
Speaker 3: Malone is the Leo. Yes, very strong post malone energy
Speaker 3: so much. Shane Fonda is Sagittarius. Sophia Virgara is cancer.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: Jennifer Lewis is you know, obviously playing twin duty here
Speaker 3: as Gemini. Trevor Noah, Libra, Kim Petris is Virgo Okay,
Speaker 3: he keep palmer. Oh yeah, this is someone's described as
Speaker 3: a spot on Maya Angelou impersonation as Scorpio.
Speaker 4: Wow, do you catch it? I guess I'm never looking
Speaker 4: for a Maya Angelau impression.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then that's right.
Speaker 1: Keep your head on a swivel out there looking for
Speaker 1: the Maya Angelou impressions.
Speaker 2: You never know you got, they'll slip right by you.
Speaker 1: But it really like I had only seen the preview,
Speaker 1: but hearing the summary, it really feels like she was
Speaker 1: conceiving this with the idea in mind that in a
Speaker 1: thousand years people would still be like puzzling over this
Speaker 1: and like looking for the like theological implications of the
Speaker 1: universe that she had created.
Speaker 4: I love that. I feel like Jlo is just like
Speaker 4: such very a powerful example of like someone just has
Speaker 4: not said no to her in a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and watching that erupt, I'm very I mean I have
Speaker 4: to support the Jlo industrial complex. I'm a part of it.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, right right right, one of the foremost parts
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 4: Yes, I this is the real, real, real me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no such thing as there's no such thing
Speaker 2: as ethical consumption. And we finally gotten to the core.
Speaker 1: This is the real, real, real Jamie, Jamie, what is
Speaker 1: fifteen Minutes about?
Speaker 4: It is my new podcast. It's a weekly show where
Speaker 4: every week we take a look at one of the
Speaker 4: Internet characters of the day from grand Internet history. Our
Speaker 4: first episode is going to be a look back at
Speaker 4: the Hyde your Kids, Hide Your Wife phenomenon, and I'm
Speaker 4: interviewing Antoine Dodson himself. So it'll be a different character
Speaker 4: of the day every week starting in May.
Speaker 2: Amazing.
Speaker 4: I'm excited.
Speaker 2: Well we are too.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment first. A couple of things that
Speaker 1: we're talking about later on. This is for some reason
Speaker 1: shaving up to be like our economic episode. You know,
Speaker 1: we had Jamie on and we were.
Speaker 4: Like, I'm an economist.
Speaker 1: We have one of our foremost economists on, So we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about how recession's actually good for your health.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk.
Speaker 1: About did you guys know asbestos isn't banned?
Speaker 2: Hey? Just the love kind?
Speaker 4: Oh Jack, I really did think you were about to
Speaker 4: be like, did you know if asbestos isn't bad?
Speaker 1: Essentially and it melts in your mouth like it, it
Speaker 1: tastes good. It does taste better than you would expect.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about inflation, because that just keeps going up
Speaker 1: and people are like, huh, that's weird, that's not that's
Speaker 1: not what our charts say should be happening. The supply
Speaker 1: chain problem over why inflation.
Speaker 2: Keep going on.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk we'll take a quick look at that
Speaker 1: offer a very loose theory. We will check in with
Speaker 1: the Kate Middleton conspiracy theorists just to see how they're
Speaker 1: doing all of that plenty more. But first, Jamie Loftus,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history or we added a new wrinkle
Speaker 1: if you'd like, what's the most recent thing that you screencapped?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'll give you both. Okay, the the thing
Speaker 4: I googled recently because I I fumbled, I don't really
Speaker 4: do Saint Patrick's Day since I moved here, but these
Speaker 4: are both Saint Patrick's Day related.
Speaker 2: So I think it's a non holiday, like since I
Speaker 2: moved here.
Speaker 4: Since I don't respect my family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I did.
Speaker 4: I did want to pre order it for next year
Speaker 4: because we recently were recovering The Departed on an upcoming
Speaker 4: episode of The Bechdel Cast, and I wanted to get
Speaker 4: the shirt that the Jack Nicholson character is killed in,
Speaker 4: the one that it just says Irish on it. He's
Speaker 4: wearing a green T shirt that has a shamrock, and
Speaker 4: you think it's going to say Boston, which would be
Speaker 4: on the nose as it is, but it insteads just
Speaker 4: as Irish underneath the shamrock. And that's the spoiler alert
Speaker 4: for a you know, fifteen year old movie. He gets killed,
Speaker 4: but he he bleeds out through the Irish shirt, and
Speaker 4: I was like, I want the Irish shirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pois is he like in disguise as like
Speaker 1: a volleyball player or something. He's just that he's.
Speaker 4: Never in disguise. Frank Frank oh Franco or whatever. His
Speaker 4: name is is the.
Speaker 2: He's He's Frank Costello.
Speaker 4: He's Frank Costello, Yeah he is. He is Irish through
Speaker 4: and through, and he doesn't care if it's on his shirt,
Speaker 4: which brings me to the thing I screenshotted, because I
Speaker 4: do think you know the fact that every movie about
Speaker 4: Boston takes place at either Harvard or in like three
Speaker 4: blocks of Southee. It troubles me. There's so much more
Speaker 4: out there. But I every year on Saint Patrick's Day,
Speaker 4: I like to fondly remember this was nine years ago
Speaker 4: that in twenty fifteen, I was working at the Boston
Speaker 4: Globe and I did a piece where I hung out
Speaker 4: at a bar in Southey all day on Saint Patrick's
Speaker 4: Day and wrote about what I saw, which was people
Speaker 4: being unbelievably fucked up. And then the day after that
Speaker 4: was published, there was a column published in the Boston
Speaker 4: Herald that said that I was that quoted two to
Speaker 4: three different political officials calling me a bigot against against Irish.
Speaker 4: I just it was. It was really fun, headlined true life.
Speaker 4: I was a bartender in Southe. Oh yeah, I was
Speaker 4: like shadowy a bartender. The post was written by Boston
Speaker 4: dot Com writer Jamie Loftis, every day is a drunk
Speaker 4: day in Sauthie, but Saint Patti's day runs by a
Speaker 4: completely separate set of laws, wrote Loftus, whose website bio
Speaker 4: says she is also a stand up and sketch performer.
Speaker 4: Her take on life in Southey didn't sit well with
Speaker 4: two of the neighborhood's most prominent residents. I'm surprised such
Speaker 4: bigoted views are still tolerated at Boston dot Com, said
Speaker 4: US Representative Stephen Lynch. Wow wow, it's very disrespectful, added
Speaker 4: former Mayor Raymond Elfwynn. We respected. We experienced the finest
Speaker 4: day of our life yesterday with family, faith, and friends.
Speaker 4: We could dismiss that these comments as from uninformed peace
Speaker 4: people they don't know us, were simple, ordinary people from
Speaker 4: South Boston. Flynn said. It's unfortunate some people judge us,
Speaker 4: but you can't control that. I wish they'd know us better.
Speaker 4: Mayor Martin J. Walsh declined comment.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, they just laid comment. How did your career
Speaker 1: ever recover.
Speaker 2: From your fucking congressman? I flamed you.
Speaker 4: I was his Looking at his political record is pretty
Speaker 4: hilarious because he's just like a famously not a great person.
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I mean I was crying. I called
Speaker 4: my dad crying. I was like, they roasted my ass
Speaker 4: in the paper, and he is like, no, this is
Speaker 4: the best thing that's ever happened to you. It's funny.
Speaker 1: Family, Yeah, yes, that's amazing. I mean you were crying.
Speaker 1: I remember that day as well as an Irish person,
Speaker 1: and my whole family was crying as well because because
Speaker 1: you wrote about us, because it was disrespect this disrespectful the.
Speaker 4: Best day of your life with family, just had the.
Speaker 1: Best day of our life. Like such an overstatement, like
Speaker 1: such an unhinged way to respond to that, Like it's
Speaker 1: truly like a five year old like being like this
Speaker 1: was the best day of my life. And then you
Speaker 1: ruined it with this comment that people in Boston South
Speaker 1: he likes to drink.
Speaker 2: What is that? Even where do you even get this
Speaker 2: stuff from? He said?
Speaker 3: The land Up guy, the guy who the guy who
Speaker 3: assaulted Iranian American students in the seventies. Yeah, so fucking wild.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, his record is gross, like it's yeah,
Speaker 4: but I'm big at it against.
Speaker 3: Yeah Irish, even though he was he was arrested for
Speaker 3: assaulting six Iranian students. Okay, in the seventies, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like in seventies.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a place in the seventies, see dropped, they rocked.
Speaker 4: Good impression of Bark Walver.
Speaker 1: Oh God. If I had been there on that day
Speaker 1: that she was shadowing that bartender, things would have gone
Speaker 1: down a little differently.
Speaker 4: Bro Boston dot Com wouldn't even exist.
Speaker 1: You would have been written an article about how I
Speaker 1: was working out at three three in the morning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the tenor of that story would have changed quite
Speaker 4: a bit if Mark Walberg started doing push ups in
Speaker 4: the middle.
Speaker 2: What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 4: The spicy potato taco at Taco Bell. Really, I'm really
Speaker 4: laying into it recently. Taco Bell obviously one of the
Speaker 4: best fast food options for people trying to eat less meat.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to eat less meat outside of hot dogs,
Speaker 4: which I don't count as a meat for me.
Speaker 2: Oh come on, Mat Romney disagrees.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get burgers. I'm trying to get extraneous
Speaker 4: meat because I can't I can't get the hot dogs
Speaker 4: out of rotation, but trying to get right of other meat.
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm deep into spicy potato taco I can't.
Speaker 4: I can't say enough good things about it.
Speaker 3: Is it as advertised or it's tagobo spicy?
Speaker 4: First of all, yeah, okay, don't tell me that.
Speaker 1: There's no potato.
Speaker 2: What are they advertised? No, it's not.
Speaker 4: There is just leftovers. But yeah, no, I've been I've
Speaker 4: been racking up the points with the with the spicy
Speaker 4: potato taco perfect. It's not too spice. I'm like, I
Speaker 4: can't handle it. Maybe that's where my true irishness takes hold.
Speaker 4: Can't can't really do spicy. And it's like it's like
Speaker 4: Chipotle Mayo spicy is what I would line it up with.
Speaker 4: It's really good. Two of those and you're just you're
Speaker 4: just set two of those at eleven PM. Maybe you're depressed.
Speaker 4: Maybe you're functioning on a level you couldn't have previously.
Speaker 1: Conceived, just hovering two inches off the ground. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: tangy is like tangy is synonymous with spicy in a.
Speaker 2: Lot of the the world of fast food.
Speaker 1: But not to discharge that those those look good, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find with them. This is this is an underrated
Speaker 1: that it's going to change my life.
Speaker 4: I wanted to change your life?
Speaker 1: What is uh, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Let's see. Okay, So I was going to say Pizza Hut.
Speaker 4: I just like I'm I'm wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're the same family.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I'm coming. I'm I've got it
Speaker 4: on the brain. I'm coming off of I did a
Speaker 4: Dumb Boys episode yesterday, so I'm like, I'm in there,
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about ye pizza It's it's all of the
Speaker 4: Oh god, I'm Misremember we were recovering all of the
Speaker 4: restaurants that are o by the company Yum, which also
Speaker 4: like that also I guess owns like some weird proprietary
Speaker 4: like AI technology, which is kind of scary that aren't
Speaker 4: taco bells. So that was like Pizza Hut the habit
Speaker 4: and can't see. So I was sampling from all these
Speaker 4: places and Pizza Hut trash, like just really bad everything.
Speaker 4: It reminded me of like I don't know. Also, it's
Speaker 4: just like fallen to the wayside, like vibes wise too,
Speaker 4: because I feel like Pizza Hut twenty years ago, I
Speaker 4: would go on a date to Pizza Like twenty years ago,
Speaker 4: they got the lamp. It's kind of like dark and
Speaker 4: like sexy there now not dark, not sexy, mostly.
Speaker 2: Counters not sexy.
Speaker 4: And the pizza sucks. The pizza sucks.
Speaker 1: It's like cheesy bread. I feel like there's no sauce
Speaker 1: really to speak of, right, is that still how.
Speaker 3: Par It's greasy, That's what. There's a time and a
Speaker 3: place for pizza. Hut pizza with me, because that greasy
Speaker 3: ass crust. I'm like, oh fuck, yeah, it's like just
Speaker 3: all it's it's wild how greasy the fucking crust is.
Speaker 2: It's it's nasty.
Speaker 4: I just feel like that you're getting like Little Caesar's
Speaker 4: quality for like twice the price for no reason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that feels right.
Speaker 4: Pisses me off. It's like the difference to me between
Speaker 4: Denny's and I Hop where I Hop caused like thirty
Speaker 4: percent more for like for what reason is unclear. I'm
Speaker 4: still mad about, Okay. Something that was overrated was the
Speaker 4: Minions tie in menu at I Hop in the summer
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty two. I still think about that a lot.
Speaker 4: That was so they like bana banana, yeah, but the
Speaker 4: titles were garbage. There was like one that I think
Speaker 4: about all the time where it was cold brew on
Speaker 4: the minions it's easy, easy home run cold grew. That's
Speaker 4: the name that they would have given it, you know
Speaker 4: what they call it on the menu, grew coffee. What
Speaker 4: I was beside myself, do you feel they did some
Speaker 4: like market research and they're like, people just aren't picking
Speaker 4: the pun up, they're not getting cold growth, and you
Speaker 4: have no business ordered off the Minian's menu if you
Speaker 4: can't get cold Grew. And then and another thing I
Speaker 4: went to. I'm not to brag, but I'm a Universal
Speaker 4: Studios season pass holder. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: I think after buying it, do they still the thing?
Speaker 3: It was like, hey, man, if you come once, we'll
Speaker 3: give you a season brow.
Speaker 4: Just give us twenty more dollars and you can come
Speaker 4: every day.
Speaker 2: It's still that.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes it's a little more expensive now, but I
Speaker 4: my favorite thing about it still is that you can
Speaker 4: bring your laptop there and just like write at most.
Speaker 4: So sometimes I'll just do that, I'll just write it
Speaker 4: most Anyways, I went to Minion's Land. They have a
Speaker 4: Minion's Cafe equally trash menu titles. I ordered something from
Speaker 4: there with Caitlin a couple months ago that was just
Speaker 4: called evil mac and cheese, and it was.
Speaker 2: Why mac and cheese?
Speaker 4: Why naming these?
Speaker 1: Like it's truly, they're not even having the meeting, like
Speaker 1: the brainstorm. It's just first idea is the best idea.
Speaker 4: It feels like a computer made the decision, or be a.
Speaker 1: Grow coffee people mac, a human mind of any sort.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they would. I would. I would punch these menu
Speaker 4: items up for free. They're leaving money on the table.
Speaker 3: You just start Yeah, you just start leaving like little
Speaker 3: USB drives. You're like, I don't know. This is like
Speaker 3: a there's like a whole Canva presentation here for you
Speaker 3: guys to check out. You can integrate if you want
Speaker 3: to have all the PSD files there if you want.
Speaker 4: Just call it cold groo folks. How hard could it
Speaker 4: possibly be? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I love I love the when you because I had
Speaker 3: a season past the Universal for like one time and
Speaker 3: we were like, oh, let's just upgrade it so we
Speaker 3: can come back. And I remember going back like twice
Speaker 3: and it would just to be like high at the
Speaker 3: fucking Whoville Christmas thing, be like oh my god, I went,
Speaker 3: and then leaving after ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like that they do. I think it's the most
Speaker 2: baller ship you.
Speaker 4: Can get there on the train and then yeah, just
Speaker 4: like plant somewhere.
Speaker 2: It's nice.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, families are making memories and I'm you know, on
Speaker 4: like mushroom pills at most yeah, googling stuff. It's horse ship.
Speaker 3: The tables yeah yeah, yeah, they're like fucking dinner plates
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's an alternate universe where Pizza Hut
Speaker 1: pizza parlors like stayed in business and have Wi Fi
Speaker 1: and are like a place where people just hang out
Speaker 1: all day and like work like.
Speaker 4: Most places tried to. I mean, Chuck E Cheese tried
Speaker 4: to do that, which is like really weird, but it didn't.
Speaker 1: It tried to be like a third the third sp
Speaker 1: besides working home. You just go and hang it, Chuck
Speaker 1: E Cheese.
Speaker 2: Sure, childless adults come.
Speaker 4: On in you I mean you kid. But in the
Speaker 4: mid twenty tens they were like, all right, we now
Speaker 4: serve coffee, We got a panini press. You don't need
Speaker 4: a kid, we have Wi Fi. Please come through. And
Speaker 4: it's like you can't really like I you know I did,
Speaker 4: but like you you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah right right, it looks bad.
Speaker 1: What if pizza hood had just like leaned into their
Speaker 1: literary kind of reputation with our generation because they were
Speaker 1: paying us to read books with personal pan pizzas, and
Speaker 1: they just became like the salon of the modern era.
Speaker 2: Wow, I love.
Speaker 4: Yeah that they just need to like get some like
Speaker 4: industry plants to form an algonquin table like.
Speaker 1: Thing and a local pizza hut just big like pictures
Speaker 1: of pepsi and the thinking man's pizza.
Speaker 4: Yeah there, Yeah, I like I was reflecting recently, not
Speaker 4: to keep talking about, but like I was reflecting recently
Speaker 4: on do you remember this is like ten years ago
Speaker 4: where Chipotle was trying to be the literary fast food restaurant.
Speaker 4: For a while, they were like publishing George Saunder's short stories.
Speaker 1: On their bags.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really bizarre.
Speaker 1: It didn't work out. It's also like a thing that
Speaker 1: so pizza Hut kind of because they do sell caffeinated beverages.
Speaker 1: But like Chipotle is food that like drains your brain
Speaker 1: of energy. It's just like you were eating food that
Speaker 1: like makes you want to take a nap. It's a
Speaker 1: real weird fit for them to then be like and
Speaker 1: now it's a place where you can hang out and
Speaker 1: discuss ideas. It's like, no, you're putting yourself into a coma,
Speaker 1: Like that's what Chipotle does for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean is that just me? Am?
Speaker 1: I the only one who eats Chipotle to a degree.
Speaker 4: That I think I believe they have to like if
Speaker 4: you want, if Chipotle wants me to read a book,
Speaker 4: they have to be like, it's and it is your
Speaker 4: bathroom book. It's the one that is like on.
Speaker 1: Top of your toilet.
Speaker 2: We have the best toilets in town.
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we
Speaker 1: will be right back. And we're back, and let's talk
Speaker 1: about why recessions good good for your health?
Speaker 2: Exactly, thank you, thank God, good news.
Speaker 1: I don't even of course, because this book is good
Speaker 1: for it's bad for corporations, good for our health.
Speaker 3: That's actually, let's not let's not let's not get too
Speaker 3: upset about a recession. But look, as a millennial, and
Speaker 3: many of us are here millennial or younger or slightly
Speaker 3: older in Jack's case. What I'm not that well anyway,
Speaker 3: I'm far too familiar with the recessions millennial ger z.
Speaker 3: But you exactly, that's my life. Actually, we forgot it's
Speaker 3: actually actually gen Z. We like, basically I'm gen Z
Speaker 3: canonically gen Z on the show. But you know, the
Speaker 3: effects of a recession are pretty violent, you know, not
Speaker 3: just financially, spiritually, it alters your sense of what's possible.
Speaker 3: You begin to question if the future you were promised
Speaker 3: was just some kind of fucked up prank.
Speaker 2: It is, and we'll get that.
Speaker 3: Even though we may have gone to a dark place
Speaker 3: because the wealthy stole our futures, there is a bright
Speaker 3: side because new research suggests the receptions recessions actually are
Speaker 3: actually good for life expectancy. Quote in this study from
Speaker 3: like a health economist found that during the Great Recession
Speaker 3: from two thousand and seven to two thousand and nine,
Speaker 3: age adjusted mortality rates among Americans dropped half a percent.
Speaker 2: For every jump of one percentage point in an.
Speaker 3: Areas rate one more joldlessness, the longer people lived, especially
Speaker 3: adults over sixty four and those without a college education,
Speaker 3: and these effects were immediate and lasted for ten years
Speaker 3: agoing as research, it said, the effects are so large
Speaker 3: that it effectively provided four percent of all fifty five
Speaker 3: year olds with an extra year of life, Like some
Speaker 3: kind of fucked up video game. So oh wow, Actually,
Speaker 3: never mind, I love wealthy redistribution. Was I wonder was
Speaker 3: it because healthcare got better during that time or maybe
Speaker 3: infection rates for certain illnesses went down?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the thing that jumped in my mind,
Speaker 1: is that, like maybe people just didn't get as many
Speaker 1: flus because they weren't at work.
Speaker 3: Or it could have been having to have that difficult
Speaker 3: discussion with yourself of having to decide whether you want
Speaker 3: to start a family or just continue eating taco bell
Speaker 3: hot sauce packets as a dinner.
Speaker 2: But what's the catch here? Oh, guess what.
Speaker 3: It's the fact the health benefits for a result of
Speaker 3: towns being so dead economically that pollution went down, specifically
Speaker 3: the right reduction in PM two point five, a particular
Speaker 3: particulate matter.
Speaker 4: That's I don't this this very much rings to me
Speaker 4: of like how once a year they're like another sort
Speaker 4: of like poorly like all these poorly sourced research things
Speaker 4: where you're like and who said that like alcohol actually
Speaker 4: helps your liver and you should you actually should be
Speaker 4: drinking more of it of like we're like five hundred
Speaker 4: cups of coffee a day will turn you into god.
Speaker 4: Like there there God to Mother God, or I mean
Speaker 4: in my neck of the woods of like, uh, every
Speaker 4: time you eat a hot dog you lose thirty six
Speaker 4: minutes of your life, and you're just like, I don't
Speaker 4: believe the spirit of this. It feels like it feels
Speaker 4: like a coping, like it's just a cope research well.
Speaker 3: But also but it's kind of real in the sense
Speaker 3: that it's basically just saying it's like, because this is
Speaker 3: what they're saying, fewer people drive to work during our session,
Speaker 3: factories and offices slow down, people cut back on energy use,
Speaker 3: so all the reduced activity leads to cleaner air. It's
Speaker 3: like it is sol pollution that they're just like, oh, yeah, well,
Speaker 3: because no one's working, there's less pollution because we're already
Speaker 3: killing ourselves in that way that this is this added
Speaker 3: a year. But it's interesting because to your point, in
Speaker 3: this article it goes on to sort of be like
Speaker 3: an attack against people who are advocating for like de growth,
Speaker 3: like in saying like this idea of infinite growth is
Speaker 3: actually too bad. It's like, well, well, hold on, hold on,
Speaker 3: hold on, hold on. Maybe these violent boom and bus
Speaker 3: cycles are good for us.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, they're like, we should be in a recession
Speaker 4: longer because then a tree might grow. And it's like, well,
Speaker 4: but how could we get a tree to grow while
Speaker 4: people have jobs?
Speaker 3: But that's how that's how the wealthy are able to
Speaker 3: siphon up more wealth and a tree grows.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, My takeaway from this is just like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: like this system is terrible, but we do to this
Speaker 1: place where like the quality of our air is so
Speaker 1: much worse than they're telling us anywhere else except for
Speaker 1: this article where they're like, so it's okay that we.
Speaker 2: Fucked the economy, Like that's fine, Like it just.
Speaker 1: A little bit of truth like slips out where they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so don't don't worry about it too much because you'll
Speaker 1: you'll actually live longer because we have slowed down on
Speaker 1: just like belching poison into the air. Which yeah, like
Speaker 1: that that's always something, especially like Alec Carrit Catsanas, who
Speaker 1: we talked about a lot on the show in terms
Speaker 1: of like he does a lot of great reporting and
Speaker 1: writing about social justice and specifically like copaganda, and but
Speaker 1: he also always like raises as like the crime that
Speaker 1: doesn't get paid attention to. He always raises like companies
Speaker 1: polluting the like air and water, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I know that happens, but whatever, it's just
Speaker 1: like to see the actual details of like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: if you live around factories, you're kind of fucked, like
Speaker 1: you're actually, which is like shaving years off your life.
Speaker 3: The murky thing too, which is like even with people
Speaker 3: without college education, which is what they mean, or like
Speaker 3: working class people who are living in areas that have
Speaker 3: less protections so they live in highly polluted areas. It's like,
Speaker 3: and there's even benefits for everyone whoa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when it's air pollution or like shit that
Speaker 1: they put in the walls of public buildings, there's not
Speaker 1: a whole lot that can be protecting you. You'd think
Speaker 1: that people would be more up on this, Like the
Speaker 1: right yeah. Related story is that the US is finally
Speaker 1: sort of almost banning asbestos, which I would have thought
Speaker 1: was banned.
Speaker 4: That was that like a moment of cultural like it
Speaker 4: wasn't right. Did people just really it was bad and
Speaker 4: then be like, so, probably don't use it. We're not
Speaker 4: gonna do whatever you want, but probably don't use it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, they So I think they discovered that asbestos
Speaker 1: writ large, bad and banned all but the most profitable
Speaker 1: types of asbestos. Which profitable types, yeah, which have remained
Speaker 1: in use and contributed to the deaths of tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of Americans every year. Like what, that's absurd that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how is this just.
Speaker 2: A thing that we're.
Speaker 1: Just not talking about all the time? Again, it just
Speaker 1: feels like one of those things that should be the
Speaker 1: only thing that newspapers write about.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought the government had like a whole mission
Speaker 2: accomplished banner and shit in the eighties, being like we're done, folks,
Speaker 2: We're off that shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like the famously like cliche poison thing, like you know,
Speaker 1: like there's Simpsons jokes, I'm sure about asbestos. Like it's
Speaker 1: just a thing that we've all known since I was
Speaker 1: born in the early two thousands, that we've all known
Speaker 1: was poisonous.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the US is quote joining more than fifty
Speaker 1: other countries that have already outlawed the substance. The band
Speaker 1: comes after decades of pushback from companies that have used
Speaker 1: it and everything from consumer goods to manufacturing processes. That's
Speaker 1: in NPR. That's not like in some you know, left
Speaker 1: wing zine. That's yeah, they're just they've been using this shit.
Speaker 1: There's no protections in a world where it's just like
Speaker 1: the corporations get to largely make the decisions based on
Speaker 1: whatever is the most profitable.
Speaker 4: For them, and is it. Yeah, it's just connected to
Speaker 4: I'm just shocked that people can still make money off
Speaker 4: of asbestos, like fucking pivot pivot from asbestos. It takes
Speaker 4: me back to I mean just I'm sure that there's
Speaker 4: been a lot written about it, but just like how
Speaker 4: they was characterized as like this, like i mean like
Speaker 4: as the villain of Ghostbuster again. Yeah, like the there
Speaker 4: were this ghoulish you know, kind of like kill Joy initiative,
Speaker 4: and then fast forward, you know, thirty forty years and
Speaker 4: people are still dying of asbestos. Yeah, so real win
Speaker 4: for the for the Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3: They showed them, right, I mean, are they counting like
Speaker 3: all the people that were basically exposed in the before times,
Speaker 3: because like one of my really good friends, their dad
Speaker 3: was in the Navy and there was asbestos all in
Speaker 3: those ships during the Vietnam War and they were just
Speaker 3: no respirator on just fucking taking lungfuls of that shit.
Speaker 2: And then unfortunately got me. So the lioma from it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you see sort of like the reverberations from
Speaker 3: our less regulated period. But then I'm like curious, like
Speaker 3: what is this form now? Did like the industry be like.
Speaker 2: Oh no, this is like this one's like wayless like
Speaker 2: this one's more low risk. It's like low risk. I
Speaker 2: mean it's still this beestis, so there's some risk.
Speaker 1: But it seems like they're saying that the use of
Speaker 1: chrysotile asbestos or chrysotil I don't know how to chrysotile asbestos.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get sued jack for defamation for not pronouncing
Speaker 1: this form.
Speaker 2: They need to work on.
Speaker 1: The branding of this type of asbestos because I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to pronounce it.
Speaker 4: Figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you'll meet christ in a while.
Speaker 1: But they say that particular type that hasn't been banned
Speaker 1: is linked to the deaths of tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: Americans over here.
Speaker 4: Okay, so still fuck wow, I what is I guess, like,
Speaker 4: I'm curious what those deaths are classified as, like language wise,
Speaker 4: because I want to believe if like the cause of
Speaker 4: death was listed as asbestos poisoning, we would be hearing
Speaker 4: more about it, but I don't know if there's like
Speaker 4: a get around uple sort of more ordinary sounding cause
Speaker 4: of death, because you can't classify asbestos as natural causes, right.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things where it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you could have gotten lung cancer from any one of
Speaker 1: these things, but you know, we we all kind of
Speaker 1: have have air suspicions, and then like scientists are like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: this is probably the number of people that are being
Speaker 1: killed by this on a regular basis, based on like
Speaker 1: the scientific evidence that we have.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, oh interesting this so this was this was
Speaker 3: truly It's like the articles treat it like it's some
Speaker 3: kind of like mythical subjects, like EPA bands the last
Speaker 3: form of asbestos, like like the boss level one that
Speaker 3: they're like, we couldn't get off of this one. But
Speaker 3: apparently it's used in a lot of friction like sort
Speaker 3: of heavy materials like break blocks and other gaskets.
Speaker 1: Bring well, fortunately I don't use those, so yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: famously don't use you don't use brakes, just let the
Speaker 1: car coast to the quitters there for quitters.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The EPA proposed a two year phase out. Originally but
Speaker 1: that's been changed, giving companies up to twelve years to
Speaker 1: phase out this poisonous material following extensive being by chemical manufacturers.
Speaker 4: Mister Asbestus stomped on down to the State House.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, wag his finger in Joe Biden's face and.
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm sorry. So that I mean that is
Speaker 4: to the tune of thousands and thousands of lives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay on a daily basis, being like lives are
Speaker 1: being you know, negotiated, Like it's truly what I mean.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the story that I bring up
Speaker 1: a lot on the show, but I like, I can't
Speaker 1: get over it, where you know, Johnson and Johnson and
Speaker 1: like makers and producers of talcum powder like new in
Speaker 1: the sixties and seventies that they were causing cancer. They
Speaker 1: created this lobbying group to basically make sure that they
Speaker 1: didn't have didn't have any regulations on it and they
Speaker 1: could continue selling it even though they knew it was carcinogenic.
Speaker 1: The head of that lobbying group was paid like four
Speaker 1: million dollars a year at that time, which is.
Speaker 3: Like, hey, that's some guy's dad, Jack, that's.
Speaker 1: So, And that guy used that money to send his
Speaker 1: kids the best schools the money could buy. And his
Speaker 1: son is Brett Kavanhall. So like, it's yeah, the bad
Speaker 1: guys want essentially, and they can't.
Speaker 2: They keep winning. You know.
Speaker 1: That's like it's I feel like that is the true
Speaker 1: American tale, Like Fibal, this is this the real American tale,
Speaker 1: the one that like tells you how things actually work.
Speaker 1: Guy like lobbies the government to allow corporation to continue
Speaker 1: giving people cancer and uses his winnings to get his
Speaker 1: son on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to create one of them spawns.
Speaker 3: Those are the same type of people who be like,
Speaker 3: God is so good to us. You're like, no, you
Speaker 3: fucking freak. It's it's the system we live under, white
Speaker 3: supremacy that is very good to you.
Speaker 2: That it was good to you. Oh, we're just so blessed.
Speaker 2: We're so blessed.
Speaker 1: Anyways, So that was a happy segment. We're going to
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and get
Speaker 1: to the real news aka Kate Middleton conspiracy theories.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and we're back, and all right, we've got big news.
Speaker 1: Kate Middleton has now been spotted and spotted. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put spotted in quotes in a video of her leaving
Speaker 1: a grocery store.
Speaker 2: Kate billed.
Speaker 3: I watched this video in question just so we can
Speaker 3: all sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like I don't I don't know. I
Speaker 4: I think I clicked on one thing and now my
Speaker 4: algorithms fucked.
Speaker 1: Like, so here we'll put bring it up on miles
Speaker 1: just like you don't have to further.
Speaker 2: Wait, why aren't they showing us the garish darn video? Kube?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah out in I was getting all these
Speaker 4: targeted posts for like I used AI to clean up
Speaker 4: this image mistake number one and then and it's not her.
Speaker 4: It's not absolutely not her, mate, It couldn't be her.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: It's Hurrycane, It's Hurricane massive.
Speaker 2: Mate.
Speaker 4: The thing with like stories like this are like, even
Speaker 4: if there is like even a shred of truth to
Speaker 4: the conspiracy theories which with the royal family like they
Speaker 4: could be, it's everyone's being so annoying. Yeah that you're
Speaker 4: just like, I don't know, call me back when they
Speaker 4: figure it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is truly, Like I just want to watch
Speaker 1: the documentary. They're walking, They're walking, what's happening?
Speaker 2: That's them?
Speaker 1: Will's is wearing a hat, she is wearing f leisure,
Speaker 1: she's smiling.
Speaker 2: Big dude, there's so many This really is like a
Speaker 2: Zapruder film, like Back into the Left.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you just have like five seconds between a
Speaker 1: car and like them getting to their car.
Speaker 4: Yes, this is a Zapruder film for even more annoying people.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, for the worst car.
Speaker 1: Anyways, you guys just received an email, a forty five
Speaker 1: page PDF that I put together just kind of Oh,
Speaker 1: you weren't laying out where, you know where? Okay, so
Speaker 1: where is this person shooting from. They're shooting down so
Speaker 1: like from an angular perspective, like that doesn't really make sense.
Speaker 1: And then if you see the three d readout of
Speaker 1: bone structure, it makes it clear that's not Kate is
Speaker 1: JFK Junior.
Speaker 3: You added this parenthetical at the very top of this
Speaker 3: PDFI that says, read in the voice of Gilbert Godfreed, it's.
Speaker 2: Important to me.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, I guess that gives it a little bit
Speaker 3: more gravitized, the voice of the most gravitz.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of long descriptions about how how this
Speaker 4: is that this woman is beautiful, but not the kind
Speaker 4: of beautiful that Kate Middleton is and then there's a
Speaker 4: couple of pages on what you mean by that, and
Speaker 4: I don't know that it's necessary.
Speaker 2: With a lot of geometric lines, like you're trying to
Speaker 2: break down.
Speaker 1: Some I don't I don't know.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you can tell this woman is Welsh
Speaker 1: and the skull shaped and obviously we know that Kate's
Speaker 1: an that's true. Like, I don't don't get me started,
Speaker 1: Like that's another PDF. I'm seriously don't get me started,
Speaker 1: because I will be canceled by the end of this episode.
Speaker 2: People.
Speaker 1: It's just like she doesn't even know she's beautiful, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's.
Speaker 2: What that's the hottest, dude, that's the hottest. We don't
Speaker 2: even know.
Speaker 4: Because then you can tell them and then they know,
Speaker 4: so maybe they won't believe it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they don't believe it and then they're like,
Speaker 1: you're a fucking liar.
Speaker 4: And I just got to the page that said I
Speaker 4: wish I could take Kate Middleton's glasses off so she
Speaker 4: couldn't even wear glasses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an important part of it, is that
Speaker 1: I take her glasses off and say, there you are,
Speaker 1: like Bradley Cooper did the Lady Gaga when.
Speaker 4: She took off the makeup, which means you would have
Speaker 4: to like put them on.
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, because she doesn't wear glasses. But it's just
Speaker 1: an important kind of dramatic moment in Yeah, so a
Speaker 1: lot of this is just kind of fan fiction of
Speaker 1: like me finding Kate Middleton had.
Speaker 2: Even admitted it, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Putting glasses on her when I first find her.
Speaker 3: The amount of detail is like that Ai Willy Wonka
Speaker 3: script from The Glasgow.
Speaker 1: It is mostly written by Ai, so you'll notice a
Speaker 1: lot of misspelling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Kate's eyes light up with a sense of
Speaker 3: hope that only a newlywed could imagine.
Speaker 2: I don't even.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know what to make of any of this.
Speaker 4: I just know that it is absolutely like demolished an
Speaker 4: already bleak newsfeed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's it's it's only like there's nothing fun.
Speaker 2: We're always saying like it.
Speaker 3: Honestly, there's so much lon information out there that I'm
Speaker 3: I'll believe whatever, like if whatever, if it came out
Speaker 3: and like, no, it was a body double, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: all right, I.
Speaker 4: Guess well, I also believe that they would use a
Speaker 4: body double to cover up the fact that she possibly
Speaker 4: got like a facelift, you know, like there's all of
Speaker 4: these sure, I don't know, Like, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know the analysis of like where her eyes are.
Speaker 2: Do you this one picture where someone just scribbled with
Speaker 2: their finger on their iPhone, like look at this straight
Speaker 2: line from her eye, like where her eyes are in
Speaker 2: relation to William's body at completely different perspectives, and be like,
Speaker 2: there it is. Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: I wasn't like do it.
Speaker 1: I didn't have my pen I was just using my
Speaker 1: finger on my iPhone, so like, yeah, I guess it's
Speaker 1: not perfect.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Miles, didn't use your name. We were trying to help. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I do feel like Internet detectives, like it's always does
Speaker 4: there within six posts of going full phrenology and like
Speaker 4: and what and be like, well if you look at
Speaker 4: the shape of the skull and you're like, now, let's
Speaker 4: not do that, like they're I don't know, but also
Speaker 4: you know, of course, of course the royal family is
Speaker 4: doing something fucking awful.
Speaker 1: Like right, yeah, but it's like we don't want to, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't want to say the awful thing. Like people
Speaker 1: people's brains are rejecting. Like in one hundred years, people
Speaker 1: will look back and be like, oh, the royal family
Speaker 1: was doing like all these awful things and like had
Speaker 1: stolen all this money and we're still collecting taxpayer money
Speaker 1: and you know, but now, like our brain doesn't acknowledge
Speaker 1: those things. So we have to like create this new
Speaker 1: alternate direction to like funnel our outrage about about the
Speaker 1: fact that our corporations are poisoning us every day. We
Speaker 1: have to be like, there's Middleton, body, Yeah, we need
Speaker 1: something that fits a little bit better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at very least. Yeah, it's like a clear demonstration
Speaker 4: that there is just like sub zero trust in anything.
Speaker 4: I mean, the fact that they were like sort of
Speaker 4: blacklisted by credible news sources is very telling as like
Speaker 4: a reliable source. But I feel like the truth has
Speaker 4: to be somewhere somewhere in the middle here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: People also notice the video has Christmas decorations visible, so
Speaker 1: obviously it was taken months ago, despite TMZ sharing the
Speaker 1: video metadata including and indicating other words. And then like
Speaker 1: a person just like went to the store and was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess they still have those fucking decorations. Oh God
Speaker 1: damn it, God damn it, damnit, Kate Middleton's alive.
Speaker 2: Probably we were hoping she was dead.
Speaker 3: Like what what eggs are your basket?
Speaker 2: What basket are your exit?
Speaker 4: I do feel like we get like our best Internet
Speaker 4: can be is and like random things to fixate on
Speaker 4: when things are really not going well in the world,
Speaker 4: when things are really bad, because you're just like I
Speaker 4: just need something to fixate on that is not that's
Speaker 4: a little narrower than the scope of Doomed.
Speaker 1: Earth human history.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like, well, look, yeah, sure the corporations
Speaker 3: will pulled the fasten on all of us, but the
Speaker 3: monarchy with this photoshop, I don't fucking think so.
Speaker 4: I'm sitting at home breathing in my asbestos zooming.
Speaker 2: In well, I'm taking a puff off my asbestos inhaler.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can see her eyes are too close
Speaker 1: together to be as beautiful as Kate.
Speaker 3: That's where it's again, we get her the spacing of
Speaker 3: her neta.
Speaker 2: No, no, I believe.
Speaker 3: She maybe of sob Saheran just stops fucking stops please
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 4: They can't help themselves.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Jamie, what a pleasure having you on
Speaker 1: the daily get as always? Where can people find you
Speaker 1: follow you all that good stuff find.
Speaker 4: Me anywhere you like. Start listening to the new podcast
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes that's going to be starting in May. Keep
Speaker 4: listening to the Bechdel Cast. If you're an Inner, if
Speaker 4: you live in the UK or Dublin, We're going on
Speaker 4: a short European tour at the end of May into
Speaker 4: the beginning of June. Check that out.
Speaker 1: Great opportunity to do some undercover work on the Kate
Speaker 1: Middleton mystery.
Speaker 4: I am being brought by by an agency that may
Speaker 4: or may not have killed MLK. Not to brag, but
Speaker 4: so I did a thing. I worked for the FBI.
Speaker 2: I tried Obama. He wasn't able to get to the
Speaker 2: bottom of it. Yesterday.
Speaker 4: Oh so I turned fed. Oh now we're all yelling
Speaker 4: at women. Stuck yelling at women. God damn. Anyways, I
