25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: especially if you are an Internet user with all of

26
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: the horrors of being alive. But in my personal life,

27

30
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: a long long time as a live show. Oh yeah,

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, I always wondered when I originally thought of

32
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: the idea. I thought of it as a podcast, and

33
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I just didn't do it, and I became a live show.

34
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: And now it's been really fun. We have three episodes out,

35
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: but I've had so much fun. Most of the people

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: that have been on have done the live show, and

37
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: it's so it's exciting that they're excited because they already

38
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: know sort of what they're in for, right. Yeah, it's uh,

39
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: it's very It's a great premise. Great, it's a great show.

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: It's so fun that we are and other guests don't

41
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: get any ideas, but we are going to devote a

42
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: little section of the show to just talk celebrity obsessions. Yeah,

43
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: we we got a couple. I can't I can't imagine. Honestly,

49
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: plastic part broken on d Walt miter saw because I

50
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: was trying to make shelves and I tried to cut

51
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: a very acute angle and something broke. Would uh it

52
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: definitely was wearing all the right safety equipment. Absolutely, of

53
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: course I would never do otherwise. Fortunately nothing hit my eyes,

54
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: which were definitely protected, and and some plastic bees with

55

Speaker 1: for it, because why the funk not? Yeah, indeed, I

96

97
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: have the energy metal band. This is a sign of

98
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: like this is I've I've heard of this with very

99
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: various like impressive people that there The coach of the

100
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers. Rick Adleman, No, not Rick Adleman, Rick Carlisle

101
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: like builds his own golf clubs. And it's also like

102
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: a concert pianist, and like all the all these various things,

103
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: and like the point at which the genius starts building

104
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: their own equipment, I'm like, I'm out, that's too much

105
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: for me to I do like that. I like the

106
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: like that sort of rule that you have, like where

107
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: if so much work is happening on a screen, that

108
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: you also need something off screen. And I just realized,

109
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: like even when I play music, like I'm looking at

110
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: a computer screen rather than just like taking my base

111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: and just amplifying it and looking out a window and

112
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: doing that instead about a screen. Um man, Okay, So

113
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna yeah, I like that, Thank you, Margaret. I'm

114
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna take that into practice section. Yeah. Yeah, I'll be

115
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: curious what you come up with. What is something you

116
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: think is overrated? What do I think is overrated? Real talk?

117
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: You know what? Like work? I think work is overrated?

118
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Real talk. I just feel like as a country, we're

119
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: going through a lot, you know, and like sometimes we

120
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, we can like ignore work, we can ignore

121
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: everything and how we're feeling about it, just to continue

122
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: to go to work. And you know sometimes I'm just like,

123
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: you know what, work, you know, like we need to

124
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: take care of ourselves first. So so maybe that that's

125
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: off the top. Yeah yeah, I mean it's it's how

126
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: we're raised in America. It is one mode work. If

127
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: I take more than a week of vacation, my brain

128
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: starts attacking itself. Yeah you know what, Yeah, I took

129
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: a break. I've been taking a break for quite some time.

130
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: And there's all this shame. You feel ashamed of yourself,

131
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: just like, am I even like worth it? Yeah? And

132
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: that yeah, get that fucking boot out your mouth. Yeah,

133
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: you're like, we've just been raised with that reflect to

134
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: be like, if you do anything less than backbreaking work

135
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: forty eight hours a day, you are nothing. It's not good.

136
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: It's not a good way to think. I mean, I

137
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: have guilt like that with like immigrant parents, black grandparents,

138
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: Like just thinking of how hard people's lives were from

139
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: people I descend from, and I'm like, I'm a fucking

140
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: comedian podcast. I'm like, am I working? And we're some

141
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: the hardest working. I feel like whustlers, like people hustling

142
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: to make a living out of this industry that just

143
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: be like, you know, we don't want you, you know,

144
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: so it's just like we're working really hard just to

145
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: make something. But yeah, this year, this year, I was like, yeah,

146
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: work is not it? When did you so? Did you?

147
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: Would you say you just this year turned a corner

148
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: where you you yelled at the shitty shift manager in

149
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: your brain and you're like, shut the funk up, I'm

150
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: gonna take to I love that metaphor, I like I

151
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: love that, Like I I feel like it happened at

152
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: the end of twenty nine. At the end of twenty nineteen,

153
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: I was just absolutely burned out, like just just could

154
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: not deal with another thing. But there's all these things

155
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: going on in your head, like if I stop working,

156
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: am I even alive? Am I real? Like what what

157
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: do I what does it mean? You know? Like it

158
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: just I just And I also just feels like, especially

159
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: with what we do, like if you take a break,

160
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: then do you disappear? Like would people remember me? You know,

161
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: am irrelevant anymore? And I'm I'm I'm glad to report that,

162
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Like I've been real quiet for the last I would

163
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: say two years, and no one's forgotten me. There's been

164
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: no catastrophic and to my career. If anything, I feel

165
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: a lot better, and I'm coming back with a different

166
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: relationship to work, one that puts me at the center,

167
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: that values me and my mental health and my well

168
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: being before I guess other people in your head straight up,

169
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: that's exactly that. Yeah, the what I took two weeks

170
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: off recently for the first time I think in my

171
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: since my honeymoon maybe, and my just like my parents

172
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:18,119
Speaker 1: reaction was like, how wow, how are you gonna huh,

173
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: you can do that? So like are you bringing your

174
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: computer down to Guatemala or it's just I'm like, okay,

175
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: I know now I'm starting to like see the mask.

176
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: Uh see like who who the ship manager was modeled after?

177
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: And you can and you can do that. That's you're

178
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: allowed to do that. Not just my parents, like a

179
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: lot of people, like a lot of yeah, people I

180
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: know who are just like friends, you know. Yeah, we're

181
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: just so inundated and we've been inoculated with these ship

182
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: values of like just a hustling and ship. We're only

183
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: now like beginning to have like real pushback, like public

184
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: or people like that's it is dumb and toxic. And

185
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, and it's actually the worst way to

186
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: like prioritize how you experience your physical life, like putting

187
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: that workship rather than being like, how do I maintain

188
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: like my semblance of peace or happiness first and then

189
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: try to do it. But we don't always have the

190
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, luxury or ability to even take time off.

191
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: And that's why I think it's important hopefully more people

192
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: are radicalized by that realization and being like, wait, hold up,

193
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: this is such a deal. Absolutely, we need we need

194
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: a better we need a better way to do this,

195
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: absolutely because not like the fucking earth stops spinning because

196
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: somebody fucking took parental leave, you know what I mean,

197
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: But they have everybody thinking that's how this ship works,

198
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Like it's this fucking perpetual motion machine. It's like if

199
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: one person stops hustling, well die? What is something you

200
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: think is underto Oh I'm sure you guys have talked

201
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: about this guy on this show. But well, first of all,

203
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,719

205
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: like never gonna come up, but like we just kind

206
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: of pushed past it because I didn't know what the

207
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: fun was talking about. Oh, I just keep reading about

208
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: him because he's the bat. I mean, he might be

209
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: the only good billionaire. Um, I don't know. He's just like,

210
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make it more than cents. I

211
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: don't care how expensive, every expensive everything else is. He's like,

212
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: I'm really rich. How much money do you need? And

213
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I see all these other companies just

214
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: like raising their prices on ship because they can and

215
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: people are going to pay it right now. But this

216
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: night nine cents. It's just nine nine cents and it's delicious.

217
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm never going to change it. I'm

218
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: really really wealthy. It actually cost me seven cents to

219
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: make a can, So I'm fine with that margin on

220
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: there because it's just water and chemicals that we call iced.

221
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: But look, we accept it. I lovingly I drink so

236
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,040

Speaker 1: when they asked him about the note price change. That

243
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: to me, the worst day as a salesman is to

244
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: go to a retailer and say, hey, by the way,

245

248
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: that mean is have a customer come in and get

249
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: fair value on a candid te or juice and then

250
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,200

285
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: if you talk about John Farrell Lito, the co founder

286
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: and Voltaggio the Great Schism. Yeah, you've seen the Renaissance

287
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: painting about that breakup. It was pretty pretty ugly, but

288
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: there is some weird ship in that scene. Voltago got

289
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: painted in Hell, one of the Renaissance masters. All right,

290
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We will come back and

291
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: talk about the news. And we're back. And so the

292
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: story of All Day has I don't know, because it's

293
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: gotten like worse. The you know, videos of parents screaming

294
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: for the police to do something, while you know, you

295
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: can hear the shooter in the building just shooting an

296
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: automatic weapon. I think they threatened to taser people who, yeah,

297
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: they just do a parent who was like, why are

298
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: you standing out here there? Art children are being killed

299
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: inside and they had to subdue one guy and then

300
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: like we're pull like threatening to tay is another person. Yeah,

301
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: it's it's just one of the this thing has it.

302
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: It's it's gotten grim on so many levels just the

303
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: more you learn about it. Again, like with All Day,

304
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: like many places in this country, they spent about of

305
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: their municipal budget on law enforcement for what this massacre

306
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: has again exposed police not as heroes but as cowards

307
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: with guns that would rather engage unarmed people with their

308
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: backs turned than to serve and protect. And I think

309
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: there's a lot of I feel like we need to

310
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: tear down a few myths because a lot of it

311
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: was we just saw it so clearly in front of us.

312
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Right first, we see parents screaming at the armed, armed

313
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: police to engage somebody who's an active, active that he's

314
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: murdering people. Right he police are facing have their back

315
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: to the school and are facing out like they're fucking bouncers.

316
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: They're protecting him. And we have to first accept again

317
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: that there's a legal precedent that says basically, police are

318
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: not obligated to protect us. That's that's that's real. Um.

319
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: There's a series of Supreme Court decisions that have basically

320
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: made it so these people are legally protected killers that

321
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: also have cowards rights. First, there's a case to Shaney

322
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: versus Winnebago County of In this case, there was a

323
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: young boy who was being abused by his father and

324
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: the county Social services knew about it, but they didn't

325
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: know they did nothing to remove the child until he

326
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: ended up in a vegetative state. And then the court

327
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: ruled that the state didn't have a special obligation to

328
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: protect a citizen against harms. It did not create. In

329
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: two thousand five, Jessica Gonzalez sued Castle Rock, Colorado, because

330
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: she had a restraining order against her husband and he

331
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: kidnapped three of her kids. She called the police and said,

332
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: I have a restraining or against this person. They have

333
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: three of my kids. They said, well, why don't you

334
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: call call us later? Maybe he brought him home. He

335
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: killed the kids and then opened fire the police department

336
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: and also and then was killed by police. In that decision,

337
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: the Supreme Courts that Anton and Scalia argue that quote

338
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: a well established tradition of police discretion has long coexisted

339
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: with apparently mandatory arrest statues, essentially saying it's it's up

340
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: to them. You live in a police state. You can't

341
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: question their judgment. They're the ones who are allowed to

342
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: use guns, and you're not allowed to question their judgment

343
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: when they when they use them or choose not to.

344
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't it doesn't matter. They just have like absolute power.

345
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: So what is the theorized reasoning for why they were

346
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: keeping parents out? I think, well, they I don't know.

347
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like they were saying, they're waiting

348
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: for backup. They're trying to create a perimeter around the

349
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: crime person had an automatic when the person has an

350
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: automatic assault rifle, I think the standard operating order for

351
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: the police that aren't like an armed tactical unit is

352
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: to wait for backup, because it'll just be like more

353
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: car age, you know. I have to I have to

354
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: admit I have been so focused on the idea that

355
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: like guns are the problem here, and the right is

356
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: throwing up all these other arguments that are distractions from

357
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: what the real issue is that now that the talk

358
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: has turned to the cops at the at the beginning,

359
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: I was kind of not paying attention to that because

360
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: even that felt like a distraction. So I'm a little

361
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: bit even though this has all happened in like rapidly,

362
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little bit late to the news of this.

363
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: So before the show, I was like trying to quickly

364
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of catch up on this story. So I feel

365
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: like I don't know all the details of this, although

366
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: the details of this keep changing too, so so if

367
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: if I'm understanding correctly, what has come out, like at first,

368
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: the story was that the cops had shot him, right

369
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: and that he was wearing armor, but then did it

370
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: come out that he wasn't. Actually they said he had

371
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: a tactical vest, but like they don't believe they had

372
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: any hardened like plates in it that would have been

373
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: the actual bullet stopping plates. But even more than that, Like,

374
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: I think the other thing that's coming out is that

375
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: it took forty minutes of this person in the building.

376
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: And if at the press conference that Beto Rourke interrupted

377
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: the sheriff, there was saying how the gunman had gone

378
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: to the school and a resource officer engaged him but

379
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: didn't exchange gunfire. So I don't know what that engagement

380
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: was exactly. Like there's so many of these weird things

381
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: were like but then what was that? And again I

382
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: think that's why like this feels like just sort of

383
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: it's it's like an omni crisis in this one thing

384
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: that we're having to realize all at the same time.

385
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: Like if you look at the church parishioners in California,

386
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: they had the bravery to stop the gunmen themselves, and

387
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: that in that mass shooting recently, the teachers in this

388
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: instinct had to be unarmed surrogates for the police in

389
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: the school. Why they threatened you know, parents with tasers

390
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: who no longer just sit idly by while their children

391
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: were being killed. Then if you think about the gunmen

392
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, he tipped the police off himself to where

393
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: he was at and a member of the community apprehended him.

394
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: So that was after Yeah, that was after the They

395
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: had just expanded a number of police them on the subway,

396
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: like huge budget to do that. And when the shooting

397
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: and like gas attack like happened to the subway, a

398
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: cop like turned and told somebody to call nine one one,

399
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: like that's and like they didn't catch him even though

400
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: he was just like walking around and dropped his wallet

401
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: and went to cats and Delhi. I think, and this

402
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: this the shooter in Texas to he after shooting his grandmother.

403
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: He posted it on Facebook and he said he's going

404
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: to shoot an elementary school. I don't know who was

405
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: looking at his Facebook, but I mean he was posting

406
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: it too. Yeah, Like I don't. Yeah, that that one

407
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: I have trouble with because I don't know how many

408
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: times a day ship like that happens, just the way

409
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: the internet is, you know, and I like it's it's

410
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: like that's a horrifying nightmare situation for the parents. For

411
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: whoever the cop was on the outside, who you know,

412
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: was put in charge of like holding the parents back

413
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: like that. I do think like the lasting point here

414
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: is that the fact that this eighteen year old could

415
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: arm himself to the point that they had to wait

416
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: for tactical backup is like there is something systematically wrong there, right,

417
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: But it does tie into this larger story we're seeing

418
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: where the police, who are heroized and also trusted as

419
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: like the number one source of our like mass media,

420
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: our mainstream media, are not trustworthy and are not the

421
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: heroes that like movies have been telling us they are,

422
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: and that the right wants to believe they are. Yeah,

423
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean this is I don't I'm not I'm not

424
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: trying to defend these cops. I don't know anything about them,

425
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: but I know this is a tiny this was like

426
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: a people town, like I would imagine that if the

427
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: kindest thing I can say is I suspect these cops

428
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: we're not prepared for this situation, and so they should

429
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: have just stood aside. Because they didn't. They definitely didn't

430
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: help things. But well, I think that's I think that

431
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: goes to a larger fact about what what is policing

432
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: even if if we're in a situation like this, right

433
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: so we're those parents who were screaming outside the school

434
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: while they knew their kids were in imminent danger and

435
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: they stood idly by. That's that's all of us in

436
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: this country right now, and I think we need to

437
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: recognize that we are horrific. Disaster unfolds in front of

438
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: our eyes, and we've been told since birth that there

439
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: are people that will intervene to protect us. Yet they

440
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: look on as if they are powerless. That really fucked

441
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: me up to feel that powerless, to know how severe

442
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: the situation is, and you're screaming at the people who

443
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: you've been told are going to protect you. But these

444
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: parents have been rendered completely powerless by a system that

445
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: is only interested in maintaining like a very rigid power structure.

446
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: So those police are also our politicians, telling us all

447
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: the time what good they do and how much worse

448
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: things would be of the situation changed. Despite people constantly

449
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: asking for something different, we scream just like the parents do.

450
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: We scream for body autonomy, for equality, for kids to

451
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: not have to have equivalent experience as like combat veterans,

452
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: and they're more interested in crowd control, more interested in

453
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: optics rather than tangible outcomes. And we've been fed this

454
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: really poison these poisonous myths about electorally like electoralism and

455
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: crime and that accurate taste that we all experience like this,

456
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: like everyone is there, like something is so fucked up right,

457
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: and some people can put their finger on it, others can't.

458
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: But that's our bodies no longer being able to accept

459
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: these myths because we're looking at this. We look at

460
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: results over and over as they say, vote and I

461
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: will curb police violence. Nothing. Vote and I will protect

462
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: our l G B, t Q youth. Nothing, vote and

463
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: I will make life easier. Nothing. So we need to

464
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: stop like asking to make it makes sense because I

465
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: feel like that's like the most dominant take I see

466
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Why how does this make it makes sense?

467
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: And I think the thing is we have to accept

468
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: that it does not make sense and will not make sense.

469
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: The only sense the situation makes is that we live

470
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: under a horrifying, lee cruel system of governance and finance,

471
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: and the way these two things work together typically render

472
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: people powerless when they're trying to protect themselves or further

473
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: their own interests, especially when that butts up against you know,

474
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: whatever a gigantic entity there is. So I think at

475
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: the end of the day, some people may be gullible enough,

476
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: due to their own privileged lives, to think that nothing

477
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: needs to change, and they're like, it's only these like

478
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: little adjustments that have to be made. But I think

479
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: many people are really starting to see how backwards and

480
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: absurd this whole situation is, and we can't just let

481
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: this pass. What we need is to understand that the

482
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: challenge of our time is to try and write the

483
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: ship because they've demons. Look, we can't we can't keep

484
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: acting like these people know what they're doing. We like,

485
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: how many more kids need to die? How many more?

486
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: How many more like marginalized people need to be victimized

487
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: and turned into the like true villains of society when

488
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: we know it's not trans people that are taking people's jobs,

489
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: or why the factory shutdowns because it's corporations It was

490
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: best for their bottom line. But we still allow these

491
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: narratives to exist and poison people's nnes And we were

492
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: just constantly asking for just the smallest things to help

493
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: make our lives better. But you look at the Senate,

494
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: they care more about their ancient racist traditions, the filip

495
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 1: Buster more than children being murdered in mass We used

496
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: to be able to go to together. Yeah, but you

497
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 1: know what it is. I think that level of pathology

498
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: needs to be something every person in America needs to accept.

499
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at. They allow, they allow people,

500
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: they allowed, we allowed children to be killed in this country. Yeah.

501
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: Like this has added a layer of urgency for me

502
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: because it's just another example of a story that is

503
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: just like okay, like we this system is broken, the

504
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: populace is bleeding, like the it is a poisonous like

505
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: system that is just like spewing more poison and into

506
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: the system. And the longer that we hang around and

507
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: in this system where you see images like a cop

508
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: protecting a schoolhouse with his back to the schoolhouse while

509
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 1: school shooting is taking place, and like you know, pushing

510
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: pushing the parents back, Like the longer that happens, the

511
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: more likely it is that fascists are going to consolidate

512
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: power because they're the only ones who are offering an

513
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: alternative to the mainstream. Is like you're Donald Trump, you

514
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: are Tucker Carlson, and it's it won't be a like

515
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: a thing where people are like that, that is a

516
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: Republican politician with fascist tendencies like that, I'm waking up

517
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: to the fact that the most likely outcome here is

518
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: open and official fascism in America in the not too

519
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: distant future, like by the time my kids are in

520
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: high school, because the status quo is no longer viable,

521
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: like the when people run for president, like they are

522
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: always like change, like I'm running as an outsider. That's

523
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: what resonates with people, except for in the case of Trump,

524
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: when it was Biden could be like, I'm not Trump.

525
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: But then Biden being like an old school like party

526
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: person and like having this presidency is only going to

527
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: underline the fact more like but it was you know

528
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: since two thousand eight when the financial collapse happened. It's

529
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: like Obama running on hope and change bait and switch.

530
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: Trump running on America's an apocalypse and I alone can

531
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: fix it and racism bait and switch, and then Biden

532
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: just being like I'm not Trump, and but somehow Baton

533
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: switched that too, and yeah, and also you know, here

534
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: are some things that I will do and then baton

535
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: switch not doing anything, and like it just it feels

536
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: like the people are calling out for an alternative so desperately.

537
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: But the the entire US immune system is designed to

538
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: kill off leftism and any threat to business and commerce

539
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: and like corporate rule, which is what we have now.

540
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: Like that the thing that is happening right now with

541
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: guns is not because of the people you know who

542
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: live in rural communities and talk about like they'll take

543
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: my guns out of my cold dead hands and ship

544
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: like that. It's because of corporations that manufacture guns. Like

545
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: that's that's what we're in and the Democrats are complicited

546
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: in that too. But so it is like the the

547
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: US immune system is design is designed to kill off leftism,

548
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: any threat to business. It is not designed to stop fascism.

549
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: Fascism is good for business. That's why the closest America

550
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: came to being overtly openly fascist was when like there

551
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: was something called literally the Business Plot, organized by the

552
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: heads of industry and they tried to take over the

553
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: government from FDR before he could get into World War Two.

554
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: If a socialist alternative doesn't find a way to rise

555
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: up in the next you know, handful of years we

556
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: will be in a fascist dictatorship, like in in the

557
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: not too distant future. Like that's that that feels inevitable

558
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: to me at this point, like based on just what

559
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing the you know, with just this the current

560
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: system and it's death rattle and like everybody openly seeing

561
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: it for what it is and then nobody having anything

562
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: to do. Like I Google, like I was just like

563
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: I did, like I knew I wasn't gonna find anything.

564
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: I was like, what do I do with anger in America?

565
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: Like what? And then it was like, here's how to

566
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: deal with anger, like jog, walk, take a walk outside.

567
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: Like we just like yeah, it's just like we individualize

568
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: it and turn it into like our problem. I've heard

569
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: it from you know, young people who we work with

570
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: who are like, you know, I'm watching the news and

571
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: like feeling like ship because that's the least I can do.

572
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: And it's like, no, it's not your fault, it's not

573
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: our fault. We are like in the fucking matrix, like

574
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: we really are, like in a system that is fully built,

575
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: like down to a cellular level to lie to you

576
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: about what is possible, and we need to like find

577
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: ways to educate ourselves about what is possible and like

578
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: build like from the ground up a fucking imagination, like

579
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: a revolutionary imagination, because it's like we we don't have

580
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: We just like don't have it in America. We have

581
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: no idea what a third party like what even when

582
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: we're saying like we need an alternative that's not fascism,

583
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody, like even I certainly don't like

584
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: have a concrete idea of like what that would look like.

585
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: We have to create that future and like build that

586
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: imagination from we're so propaganda is to be afraid of

587
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: it because of the Cold War and because of just

588
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 1: because of the right wing and because of so many

589
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: things that it's like it would have to be cloaked

590
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: in entirely new language. Although like if you you know,

591
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: every people truly want medicare for all, as long as

592
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: it is presented in a way that you know doesn't

593
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: frighten them. I have a question. It's a little bit

594
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: of a tangent. So I spend too much time on Twitter,

595
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: and you know, Twitter is like a lovely place where

596
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: people are reasonable, and maybe it's because I spend time

597
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: on on Twitter and maybe that's not an accurate reflection

598
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: of how a lot of people are. But I I

599
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: have this notion of half of the country and it

600
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: feels like no matter what awful thing happens, like you

601
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: present like, look, this is gonna happen, or this you know,

602
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: this horrible thing is happening to these people. This horrible

603
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: thing is happening to these people. And there's you know,

604
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: a segment of the population that's like, fine, I don't

605
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: give a funk, Fine, I don't care. And I don't

606
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: know if it's like because they're in it for the loaves,

607
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: or they're truly heartless, or they want other people to

608
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: be in dire straits. So I think it feels like

609
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: nineteen children died, Fine, I don't care. That's their attitude.

610
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 1: And so my question for you is, do you think

611
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: there really are people for whom nineteen kids dying they

612
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: just don't care or is that like a posture they

613
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: take because it helps their argument. I like that, I don't.

614
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: I don't care if there are like isolated people, but

615
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: like I I do for for them and their family.

616
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: That's brutal, like something inside of you has died, but

617
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: like we are so disproportionately inundated with those people's opinions,

618
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: and also like straw man version of those people's opinions

619
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: from like the Democrats saying that's how the Republicans think,

620
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: or the Republicans saying that the Democrats think. Nobody is

621
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: like pointing out just like over six of people like

622
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: want these very concrete steps to be taken, and like

623
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: we we are all alike in the sense that like

624
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: this ship was fucking unacceptable and like completely horrifying, Like

625
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: that's I don't know, like that that's kind of how

626
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm feeling, is that there is a lot of noise

627
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: that is designed to mask the fact that we, the

628
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: majority of us, want the same things in a lot

629
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: of most people want access to abortion, most people want

630
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: common sense gun control. Most people don't want to go

631
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: broke being sick. Yes, and and it's and but I'm

632
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: saying that's the reason, like why the political party has

633
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: done so such a good job is to label some

634
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: of these things with certain like thought killing cliche labels,

635
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: like it's called that socialism ends the conversation for someone

636
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: in their mind right there, like how like insidious, the

637
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: like lack of revolutionary imagination, is like the thing that

638
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: always pops in my head when I think of like

639
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: a revolutionary Like leftism in America is like the scene

640
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: in Forrest Gump in Washington, d C. Because it's like

641
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate Boomer revision of history, and like the hippies

642
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: are just like marching or round in lines that don't

643
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: go anywhere, and like everyone is just a cartoon, Like

644
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: the Black Panthers are a cartoon. Like at one point

645
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: they're like shouting at the top of their lungs at

646
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: forest dump like political platitudes, and then he leaves and

647
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: they keep shouting at the empty space where he was

648
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: because they're just like I don't know what fucking Robert

649
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: Zemeckis is insane theory was, but I think it was

650
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: like that they're just like animatronic like anger robots. That's

651
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: like what he made them in his vision of that.

652
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: But that is like the Boomers really fucked us. They

653
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: really like took their idea of revolution then turned it

654
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: into like a thing that is like, well, that's how

655
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: unrealistic people think. And fortunately like they are going away,

656
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: but like we really like we need to excavate that,

657
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: like that ship needs to be cut out. It is

658
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: a fucking cancer. The idea that like, you can't have

659
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: revolutionary activism in the United States is is the status

660
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: quo belief and like we we need to address that

661
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: right And I think people don't realize is the relative

662
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 1: prosperity they experienced as a generation helped cool that those

663
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: jets a little bit, you know, the real experiencing abundance.

664
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: And now you're dealing with generations who have nothing, and

665
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: those tricks don't work because you can't subdue us. There's

666
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: no there isn't prosperity, So how are you going to

667
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: subdue people? They're only going to be more focused on

668
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: their lack of things. And what happens is that creates

669
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: the space for someone to come in and give you

670
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: a fucked up explanation for what that is. Hey, it's

671
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: these people. Hey, it's these people. Hey it's this, And

672
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,919
Speaker 1: that's the sort of knife setge that we're on. They're

673
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: fully going to buy into one version or we have

674
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: to or do the uncomfortable thing and realize just how

675
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: like how much of a failed system we have? Honestly

676
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: why every other country looks on it's like, what is

677
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: going on with y'all there? Like The thing that I

678
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 1: was reading this morning was like somebody was just like

679
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: one of the greatest culture shocks when I arrived in

680
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: the US was the blind veneration of police. After years

681
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: and years of living here and reading about this country,

682
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: I now realize that it's a structural pillar of white supremacy.

683
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: That yeah, like that is the like that there are

684
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: so many things that are not normal, and like in

685
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: this country that we have just accepted this is the thing, right,

686
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: And do you talk about what's happening on the right?

687
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: Like Ted Cruise ran away from a Sky journalist from

688
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: the UK who just asked a very straightforward question about

689
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: like why does this seem to be an American problem?

690
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: And I'll play this because this is a very straightforward answer.

691
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: But the way Ted Cruise freaks out, I think it

692
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: is instructive in sets of parents who who are never

693
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: going to get to kiss their older night again. Is

694
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: this the moment to reform gun laws? You know, it's

695
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: it's easy to go to politics, political issue. I get

696
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: that that's where the media likes to go. It's not

697
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: it's where many of the people we've talked to here

698
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: like to go. The proposals from Democrats and the media

699
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: inevitably when some violent psychopath murderous people, a violent psychopath

700
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: who is able to get a weapon so easily. Eighteen

701
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: year old were two a R fifteen. If you want

702
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: to stop violent cry the proposals the Democrats had, none

703
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: of them would have stopped this. Why does this only

704
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: happen in your country? I really think that's what many

705
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: people around the world just they cannot fathom. Why only

706
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: in America? Why is this American exceptionalism so awful? You know,

707
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you think American exceptionalism is awful. I think

708
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: this aspect, I think this aspect of it. You get

709
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: your political agenda. No, it's Senator, it's not. I just

710
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: want to understand why you do not think that guns

711
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: are the problem a problem, It is just an American problem.

712
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: He goes on. He just, you know, says you're a propagandist. Nonsense.

713
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: And again, this is a This is someone who has

714
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: asked a question, couldn't offer you a solution. I think

715
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: that's what people need to really hone in on. When

716
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: politicians speak, seldom are they actually offering a tangible solution,

717
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: And that should be that that should set alarms off

718
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: in your head as to where the country, like, what

719
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: the direction is of the country, Because if people who

720
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: are making the laws, they don't care about solving anything.

721
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: Biden tweeted, as a nation, we must ask when in

722
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: God's name will we stand up to the gun lobby?

723
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: When in God's name will we do what needs to

724
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: be done. I'm sick and tired of it. We have

725
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: to act. What what are you sick and tired of? What? Like?

726
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: What you name it? Name it? Man? What do you

727
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: that like? Is it just their party? Is it like

728
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: say what needs to happen? Like? What are the lobbyists

729
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: visiting me? No? They visit y'all. Their job is to

730
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: interact with politicians. So why are you asking us when

731
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: you need to figure that out on your own? And

732
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: that's an empty gesture to just say, what are we

733
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,959
Speaker 1: gonna stop? Say something? You tell me, motherfucker, you tell me.

734
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: It's like hot potato. They're all just turning around, and

735
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: Laura Trump on Fox News goes on, they can't they

736
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: can't say anything that's a that makes any sense. So

737
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: she's just gonna go off and talk about how we

738
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: don't have two parent homes anymore. It's not guns. It's

739
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: not it's not it's not inequality, it's it's the other

740
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: ship across the board, at things like the fact that

741
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, we have the dissolution of the family and

742
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: so many respects. We have fatherless children on the rise

743
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: in America, we have the loss of religion and so

744
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: many aspects of our country where it was a foundation

745
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: of our country at one time. You can't discount the

746
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: rise of social media and the role that that has

747
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 1: played in things like this. Um and then the mental

748
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: health aspect of this obviously has to be a focus. Okay,

749
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: but I'm not even let it finish that because Greg

750
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: Abbott slashed mental health budgets in the States. So there's

751
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: that that's mood. There's no don't don't talk about mental

752
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: health when it's never even been anything you've actually advocated for.

753
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: It's all emptiness, right, And again, this is how this

754
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: is the explanation. This is a group of people who

755
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: are I'm people on Fox News are assuredly horrified to

756
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: hear the nineteen children killed and two adults. Right, and

757
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: then you have someone come in and not say it's

758
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: not guns. It's not the fact that you know, we

759
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: have like places like four Chan or other things where

760
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: people can get radicalized or share weird ideas and things

761
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: like that. It's that we don't have God. Yeah, you

762
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like we need a theocracy. That's

763
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: what that's the solution that's being handed out is a theocracy.

764
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: That's the only solution that has its own chance, you know,

765
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: because the other channels, the other channels are all part

766
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: of the just speak around the truth, look look the

767
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: other way, like, so that that's what I'm saying, Like

768
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: that is why the inability for anybody to just like

769
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: say what it is from from anywhere except you know,

770
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: a fascist perspective, like is what is making me so

771
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: worried that like this is where it's headed because it's

772
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: like every it's all just corporate corporate like bullshit and

773
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: in action and then that fascism, that theocracy bullshit. Right,

774
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: they're filling the knowledge gap with fascist talking points because

775
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: there are people asking what what what do we do? Yeah,

776
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: because left or right, if you're if you're not wealthy,

777
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: you're you're being like Manu Shi, it's kind of fucked up. Yeah,

778
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: But if on one channel, it's like it's the ocricy.

779
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: That's what we need. We need more God, we need

780
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: more guns. They're they're saying something although it's not really

781
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: something there. I mean, they will legislate on it eventually,

782
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: as they are a lot of other things. But yeah,

783
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: you flip the switch to like CNN or whatever, they

784
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: can't say, they can't advocate for anything different, and I

785
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: think that shows you the direction it's going. Because the

786
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: Republic is on the right, they don't have the numbers

787
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: to win like like actual just straight up majorities of things,

788
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: so they have to defeat the process of even having

789
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: like a democratic system of elections, even though that's you know,

790
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: arguably debatable whatever, to completely just say not all right,

791
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: we closed the door. Now we're in charge. We got

792
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: this and these guess what these are all the rules

793
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: we like to enforce and will just be sitting there

794
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: confused because we're we're like we we we have to

795
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: find a way. We we the signals coming from the

796
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: media have to offer people something else because it's just

797
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: the confusion and trying to subdue their outrage. It's not

798
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: that that's how we get into an even darker place.

799
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk

800
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: Abountain and we're back and all right, there there's a

801
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: new type of Mountain Dew that I'm very excited about.

802
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: Pivot and like himlaj one down got a pivot in

803
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: the paint, playing bullyball down here. Yeah in the in

809
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,840

00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: a lot about mountain dew. Amy, you said you've seen,

811

Speaker 1: you've You've been across this cursed earth and seen many

812
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: of the flavors. Also about four leaders a day in

813
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: high school every yeah, okay, so everybody's got their credentials,

814
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: everyone's established as an authority on this. How many flavors

815
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: of mountain do do you think there are available to

816
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: an American? I'm gonna say, okay, I was gonna say

817
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: twenty three. I feel like we're short like this say, like,

818
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: knowing I'm going to lose this game, I think twenty three,

819
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: Like we got your I'm just like thinking of like

820
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: the number of colors I've seen. You got your pink,

821

Speaker 1: your blue, and classic do purple. Purple is the new

823
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:43,640

00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: like I'm feeling twenty three. It was thirty two. Well,

827
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: the numbers were there, and there's like there's levels to it, right,

828
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: There's Mountain Dew that are sold in grocery stores, there's

829
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: Mountain Dew that you can only get through exclusive partnerships,

830
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: and there's online only Mountain. So they're like fucking Pokemon

831
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: if you had to go, if you want to try one,

832
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, like you can't get I didn't even realize

833
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings has their own fucking flavor. Neither did I.

834
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: What flavor is it? Sounds I'm going to get. It's

835
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: called Legend Legend Mate. At Kroger they have an exclusive

836
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: exclusive called Thrashed Apple. The Dollar in general has Maui Burst,

837
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 1: Like each place has their own I imagine the Buffalo

838
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: wild wings flavor, not being spicy, but tasting like blue

839
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: cheese because it has to accompany in the wings, right,

840
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: and it's and it's blue. Also, m I had the uh,

841
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: there there's a Christmas varietal was flavored as gingerbread. Let's

842
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: not use varietal. Let's not use wine terms for mountain dew.

843
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: That's all I have. I give you this one. That's

846
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: did feel sick after I drank it, but it was

847
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: still that That was probably just the fact that I

848
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: drank a mountain dew as a like or like apple

849
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: CYDERI no, no, it was gingerbread. Oh disgusting, right, I

850
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: have seen those. I like the packaging absolutely like I

851
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: got it as a bit for I got I got one.

852
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: Jamie Loft has had one with me and we were

853
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: both like, that's that is what that would taste like

854
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: if they made a gingerbread mountain dew. Bad but like

855
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: not not as bad as you would think absolute che

856
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: hot cheetos one. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Major melon is

857
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: you can just get past any thoughts of chapstick. Major

858
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 1: melon is really wait, what Like it is very watermelonie

859
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: like watermelon candy, but there is like a like finish

860
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: to the flavor, amy a finish, a nutty oky uh

861
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: wet stone. H know, it finishes with a waxy like moment.

862
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: There's just a moment one of the undertones. Jack, It's all.

863
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: It's one. It's one big undertone of just melon. Wait

864
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: when you say that it's chapped, like you mean like

865
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: sort of like vasiline, like petroleum jelly. Like I don't know,

866
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if I just made it up lip smackers,

867
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: I think is maybe what you're talking about. You ever

868
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: had used watermelon chapstick? Mouse? No, I was. I was.

869
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: I was in a CarMax house. That's the worst as

870
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: a child eating some watermelon chapstick And this might just

871
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: be like right hardwired into my crop. Yeah, car Max. Yeah,

872
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: we always had all my memories or my dad pulling

873
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 1: out his pocket and unscrewing it and there's so much

874
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: shit stuck on the cap. And but you know, I

875
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: was that kid with like the chapped ring around like

876
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: crazy and then yeah, they're like you have to use this,

877
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: it's it is medicine. You crazy. You can't push watermelon

878
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,760
Speaker 1: lip smackers, your face moans just like on the outline

879
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: to like this feels like some kind of clown makeup

880
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: for something you do. Yeah, I had that dry as

881
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: chapped ring couldn't stop sucking on my lips like look

882
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: as a kid too, And I remember constantly being like

883
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: my my mom would implore me, like please just fucking

884
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: use this, and it hurts too much and I didn't

885
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: have the patience to let it work. Anyway. I got

886
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: past that. My lips are less chap these days. But

887
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: ye all day, I think I think they're at their

888
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: best when there is not a specific object, a specific

889
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: food item that they're trying to approximate. Apparently, purple Thunder

890
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: is great. I've yet to be able to, you know,

891
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: find time to go to a circle k. That's that's

892
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: another thing they seem. I don't feel like they have

893
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: enough of the handle. They're No, they're not like the

894
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: great NBA players who are like, I'm gonna save it

895
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 1: for like the finals and then just like that, put

896
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: up fifty in the finals because they apparently, you know,

897
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: ba BA blast Obviously, I think widely regarded as the

898
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: best or one of the two best. Mountain Dew flavors,

899
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: and apparently Purple Thunder is like has entered the conversation.

900
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: They nailed it. But they did that for Circle K.

901
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: Yeah like that. I feel like you don't use that

902
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: on Circle Kay. Well look that's that's our regional bias

903
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: coming in, you know, because we're in a We're not

904
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: Circle K desert. That's true, Circle Kay. I like the

905
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: system too. I think it's really cool of Mountain Dew

906
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, do you have a corporation? Do

907
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: you want your own flavor? We are you? Like I've

908
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: never heard of that before. They were cool, Hey, corporation,

909
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: what flavor? I want a person to do it? Like

910
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for one famous person to have their own

911
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: do flavor? Like how tight would that be? I think? Honestly,

912
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:26,759
