23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Like it was kind of a lot of us just

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: kind of you know, packed into a parking lot. Um,

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: just you know, shaking hand hugging, kissing, you know, typical

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: biker san Um. Yeah, no, I was. I was. I

27
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: was shooting a movie. Oh cool. What was that like

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: on set? Because I know, I mean, having friends and

29
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: family and production, it's it seems like a lot more going,

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot more work, especially for crew. Yeah, it's Um,

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I've been I've been tested four times in the past week.

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I think, just make sure I'm not sick. And there

33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: was a period where I was not allowed to leave

34
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: my room and uh and also the hotel might have

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: been haunted, so that I think that was unrelated to

36
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: I think that would have been the case. That would

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: have been the case regardless of COVID. But you know,

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: it was just I mean, it's basically the premise of

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: the shining. It's just that instead of a blizzard keeping

40
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: you inside the hotel, it is the coronavirus pandemic, but

41
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: you still coronavirus pandemic. And also a lot of racist people.

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: Hold on, Jack, we gotta we gotta script going there

43
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: were you able to feel the local racism and beaute.

44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: It was weird because I I feel like, um, because

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: of COVID, Asian people are getting it harder than black

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: people right now, and so there was an Asian dude

47
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: on cast who definitely felt it. I felt like people

48
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: were being too nice to me, Like I, yeah, like

49
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: two people asked me from money on the street, and

50
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: then I went back and talked to the rest of

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: the cast. Was like, people asking you for money, and

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: all of them were like, no, nobody's asked any of us.

53
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: I was like, it's like this weird thing where they

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: feel like they have to ask me because they're like, oh,

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: he's not like guaranteed to be poor anymore. It's not

56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: that it's not like that people have money. You're a

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: rich person. In my mind, I'm not racist. Yeah. Also,

58
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: one of them was Australian, which was very weird to me.

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: They were begging on the street and they were Australia.

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Was a whole Australian man with blonde dreadlocks. I was

61
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: just gonna ask if he had dreadlocks. Yes, he absolutely did.

62
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: He was exactly the type of person you think he was, uh,

63
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: and it just made me feel sad. I was like,

64
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: you gave up health insurance and live in a mining town,

65
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, like you might be safer in Australia with

66
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: those dreads. Yeah, it's got to be a rough climate

67
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: to be unhoused in. Yeah, yeah, it's probably pretty bad,

68
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't know. It was just like

69
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: it was just a very it was a very weird place.

70
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: There was also there was also one bar that everybody

71
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: told me very specifically not to go into because nobody

72
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: was wearing a mask. And I walked outside one day

73
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: and there was just one dude standing outside in this

74
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: haunted ass town, two teeth in his mouth, and he

75
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: looked at me and I looked back at him and

76
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, man, you okay. I was like no,

77
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: and then he just and then he points to the

78
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: he points to the bar that everybody told me to

79
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: not go into, and he just goes, have you ever

80
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: been in here before? And I was like no, and

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't plan to And I kept moving. Yeah, all right,

82
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: think about it. Think about brushing my teeth as soon

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: as they get back. Yeah. Wow, interesting, it's a weird place. Yeah,

84
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: that's about what I would have expected a weather in

85
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: New York? Is it? Uh? Are you guys still in shorts?

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: Because we have people dunking on us from Brooklyn being like,

87
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: oh man, it's it's fantastic. It's not bad. It's um

88
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: especially coming from like nineteen degree weather, is it you?

89
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you must be like you're in a tank

90
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: top now, oh yeah, reflective panel in a sun chair.

91
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm out shirt off, sitting on the roof,

92
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: just uh tanning, but like as a bit right right, yeah,

93
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Like it's not it's not doing anything. It's just yeah,

94
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: just a funk with the Google Earth photographer. Yeah, Joel,

95
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that's revealing about

96
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: who you are? This is so embarrassing. I was to

97
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: your lovely Daniel before we got it on. I have

98
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: been researching a lot of pokemoningly you know your combinations?

99
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: How do they work? This is my stress reliever. Now.

100
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: I got a Nintendo for myself. My brother bought Pokemon

101
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: and immediately I was like, oh, this is what I'm

102
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna do for my stress relief. There's no uh, geopolitical

103
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: analytics in here. I don't have to worry about race

104
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: relations in this app. No one's making podcasts in here.

105
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: It's just you just catch a Pokemon and if you

106
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: find another Pokemon and then you buy a cool outfit.

107
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: And it's like the best fake retail therapy because I

108
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: can't afford to do actual retail therapy anymore. Uh, you know, Pokemon,

109
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. Oh my god, that's incredible. We're surviving. Yeah,

110
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: so wait, what are some what are some particularly? What

111
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: are what are the top Pokemon? I'm like, how do

112
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: I because I was gonna so, I mean, so tell

113
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: us about these pokemons? Tell us more. Um, listen for

114
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: the children out there, slash older adults. You never got

115
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: out of their child favorites. Um, really boosting up my

116
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: my champ. He's a fighter, he's he's got big boxing gloves,

117
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. A slur puff, which looks like

118
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: whipped cream is really I like it because depending on

119
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: what kind of fruit you give it, it turns into

120
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: different Pokemon, so you get a variety of the same thing. Um.

121
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: And then I can't remember the name of my elephant,

122
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: but I got it and it's cool and I love it.

123
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: And this is on switch yes, which again It's just

124
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: it's amazing stress relief. It's really great when it's late

125
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: and falling asleep, you just you pop it in and

126
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: you get to bike all over little countrysides that look

127
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: like London. It's wonderful that I read recently about there

128
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: was like a big well and by big, i'm like

129
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: YouTubers I watched discussed it at length. But there was

130
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: like a big Pokemon scandal where bear with me. I

131
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: guess Loganmogan Paul, He's not the villain of the story. Shockingly,

132
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: Logan Paul has a Pokemon dealer, which is a job

133
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: you can have, and this Pokemon dealer dealt like arranged

134
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: this big Pokemon deal and then these guys paid two

135
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for a set of Pokemon cards, and

136
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: then it turned out the Pokemon cards were fake, and

137
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: now there's all these It was a Pokemon fraud scandal,

138
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: and I really loved watching it unfold because it was

139
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of du faces with too much money being like, well,

140
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: the cards about to get here, and they were like

141
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: live streaming it. They're like the most expensive Pokemon deal ever.

142
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: And they opened the cards and they were like, well,

143
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: these are clearly fraudulant. It's like regular paper stock that

144
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: you would get staples. Yeah, it was just a pile

145
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: of printer paper. I'd just like to say that the

146
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: game is thirty dollars right now. It's on sale. You

147
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: don't have to for anything. There are no in app purchases,

148
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: to the best of my knowledge. Just go ahead and

149
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: save your money, you know, invest that in something, give

150
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: it to a child in need. Please don't spend that

151
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: kind of money on paper. It doesn't make sense. It

152
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: simply doesn't. Don't do anything that Logan Paul has already

153
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: done that. I thought that's been a rule of thumb

154
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: for years. Good idea, perfect guideline. I do wonder like

155
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: for sports cards and Pokemon cards and like physical things

156
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: like that. I do feel like we're reaching a point

157
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: where I mean, we can make any video like make

158
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: people seem like they're saying things that they haven't said,

159
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: like perfect precision, and like you know, sneakers like that.

160
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: One of the ways that people they're getting quote counterfeit

161
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: sneakers is like the people who make those in other

162
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: countries are just like here, I'm going to make a

163
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: couple more, and they won't go through Nike, but you

164
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: will get the exact same thing, and those are like counterfeit,

165
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: but it's like what, I don't know. I feel like

166
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: the philosophical question of like what counterfeit is is going

167
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: to arise more and more, especially with regard to Pokemon cards.

168
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: That seems like a pretty easy one to to knock off.

169
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe I'm missing something. I understand the collectible.

170
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: You're definitely not missing anything. The collectible aspect of it

171
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: is what's keeping people going, and like it's only it's

172
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: the belief that's like keeping people connected, right, like no

173
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: mine is real, like so it depends on how you value,

174
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the subject of the thing because

175
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: with with baseball cards was like, oh that was like

176
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: a moment in history, like they printed it while this

177
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: guy was in run, you know, and now that's where

178
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: Tea retired. So there are no new base though if

179
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: you really like that player, then you have to have

180
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: that card. That I totally I somewhat understand that I

181
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: don't quite understand, Like to your point, like especially the

182
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: use of a Pokemon card is like in a game,

183
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: so as long as you have the correct information in

184
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: front of you can play the game. So it's bizarre.

185
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: But you know, I also know people spend like a

186
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: ton of money on like rare Monopoly sets, and I

187
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I think when you have too much money,

188
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: you're just looking for something to brag about, and like,

189
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: I bought this like incredible rare thing, and now you

190
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: have to value me and my collection as well. It's

191
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: a weird cyclical thing. Like we're talking before we started

192
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: recording about the Donkeys market. The Dunkin Donuts shop that

193
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: they just opened that has tandem bicycles, it has a

194
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: Dunkin Donuts bathrobe immediately sold out, like everybody just bought

195
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: all of the Dunkin Donuts bathrobes. Um, but that's more.

196
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I couldn't just try to jump to their

197
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: defense as I always will for Duncan Donuts. I feel

198
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: like they're marketing. It's going to sound like I'm being

199
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: paid to say this. I'm not. I think their marketing

200
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: has gotten so weird and savvy recently where they're like, okay,

201
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: we're an old ass like doughnut brand that is mostly

202
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: known for like really mean moms going to like that

203
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: is their consumer base. But then they're just kind of

204
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: like they're they're definitely trying to hit the teen market

205
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: because they gave Charlie Demelio her own Duncan beverage and

206
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: as a regular Duncan customer, I'm a very mean mom. Uh,

207
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: but like there's now teenagers at Duncan Donuts all the time.

208
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: It's like you can tell Charlie Damelio brought her fucking

209
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: TikTok base to Duncan Donuts and now they're releasing merch

210
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: like it's sneaker drops, Like it's just they're trying. They're

211
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: they're trying some stuff out. It seems to be working. Also,

212
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: the Charlie Damelio drink has so much dairy in it

213
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: that I'd like I was sitting just for young people,

214
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: for the young's. It's for teenagers only for adults. That's

215
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: so interesting that Duncan Donut. It seems almost random that

216
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: Duncan Donuts is the brand that like got this culture.

217
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Like McDonald's tried really hard with their like Travis Scott

218
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Meal and yeah, that work definitely sold out in a

219
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: couple of hours, Like the children loved it. And I

220
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: live across the street from a McDonald's. There was a

221
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: line around the block for like probably a solid week

222
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: to get into McDonald's to get the stupid meal which

223
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: is already on the menu. It's yeah, I'm so confused.

224
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Wait that was for the box, Like how would you

225
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: sell out of the meal because is there is there

226
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: a meal? Like is there a box that comes with it? Okay?

227
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: So the Travis then came in two parts, right, So

228
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: first there was online merch right, so they had like

229
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: the jackets and stuff. So all of that stuff sold out.

230
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: But then McDonald's had a shortage of like the burger.

231
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: I think with some of the condiments that go on

232
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: his specific burger, they were like running out. They couldn't

233
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: keep it in stock because so many people had come

234
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: through to purchase this burger. I didn't get the meal,

235
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: but I do think it came its own like practice

236
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: jack style box, but don't keep that. It had food

237
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: in it, like just gonna smell like a cheese burger

238
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: for like untouched by human hands. My favorite product they

239
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: had was a cactus Jack McDonald's lunch trees, you know

240
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: the brown trees and he's McDonald's. Yeah. That was checking

241
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: a biber like fifteen bucks, and I was like, this

242
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: is tempting, but no, so steal it for no bucks

243
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: because those things are the easiest things to Still, these

244
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: kinds of grips are not going to work forever, but

245
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: they're definitely working right now. I have nothing to look

246
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: forward to. I think yeast that was like half of

247
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: the cell was like something new. Yeah, I mean I

248
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: have to have it. It's just new. Yeah. Yeah. It's

249
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: just interesting that we are. It's almost like we're going

250
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:26,239
Speaker 1: into opposite or seemingly contradictory directions, whereas one like consumers

251
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: or like materialism is breaking down, like you can replicate

252
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: anything easily, and then on the other hand, we're like

253
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: going super hard on like okay, there are only five

254
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: McDonald's bathrobes that we all need to get because it

255
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: has the special tag in it. And it's it's almost

256
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: like we're having a end of materialism like panic moment

257
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: where we have to like really dig in our heels

258
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: and be like this matters. Somebody who just bought two

259
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: suits from Beyonce. Yeah, I where will I wear these suits?

260
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere, literally anywhere, not to dinner, not

261
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: to but I have these suits. Later, I'll come clean.

262
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:16,359
Speaker 1: I bought the Duncan Dubai. It will be on my

263
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: my bed come Christmas. Al Right, guys, let's take a

264
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk the dreaded news.

265
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: And we're back. All right, let's talk about what this

266
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: lockdown is doing to our brains. Miles, you brought a

267
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: article from the BBC about a kind of a study

268
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: or I don't know where were they using science or speculation? Well,

269
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: they are using science and then just what neuro neuroscientists

270
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: just know to be true about how our brains work

271
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: like and and a lot of people like experts themselves

272
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: experiencing it too. I've noticed old family. Yeah, yeah, like

273
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: my grandfather he's ninety three, and he he used to

274
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: go to his church social group and do ship like that.

275
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: But it's all old people that he hangs out with,

276
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: so that that's gone down. He's like less talkative. I

277
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: mean it's very pronounced, they say, and like especially like

278
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: convalescent homes and like you know, old folks homes for

279
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, And so they're saying, you know,

280
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: the lack of socializing and isolation is definitely a contributing

281
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: factor to how like our memories are even being formed

282
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: and stored. So you know, the isolation part I think

283
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: most people can figure out, because yeah, like we're just

284
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: we've completely changed the rhythm of our days. But you

285
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: know a lot of things is like it's these smaller

286
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: conversations where if we don't feel you know, like any

287
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: kind of talk you have by the refrigerator or water cooler,

288
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: by the elevator, walking in somewhere, walking out somewhere, like

289
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: we're always just like talking, like we always just have

290
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: something to tell, like talk about we can talk about

291
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: what we did last night, what we're doing this weekend,

292
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: what even some dumb ship you talked about your friend

293
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: with on the phone. And that repetition of stories apparently

294
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: they're saying that helps to actually keep our memories sort

295
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: of consolidated and organized within our minds. So like they

296
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: call them episodic memories. So if we don't, if we're

297
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: missing on that socializing aspect, it's those things don't crystallize

298
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: in the same way they do and like, oh, I'm

299
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling my weekend story three times today, you know,

300
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: like you it's like you know that that that momentum

301
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: helps build our memories. And then when we do get

302
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: the chance to chat. They're saying, like, because we are

303
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: isolated and we aren't having we're not doing as much

304
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: as we normally do. We also have fewer stories to

305
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: tell when we see each other. Like it's just kind

306
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: of like we're almost like, yeah, how's it been like own,

307
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: Like everyone's kind of in the same thing where we

308
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: we look at the same we sit in the same place,

309
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: look at the same screen, do the same thing, and

310
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: they're because of like this sort of cycle of very

311
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: little change, it slowly works its way into, you know,

312
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: affecting our ability to form and recall memories, because even

313
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: like it's something as simple as people feel like holy shit,

314
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: Like normally I can remember my fucking teachers from kindergarten on.

315
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: I can tell you every single fucking teacher I had,

316
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: And it's like the other day, I took me fifteen

317
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: minutes to remember who this teacher was or whatever. And

318
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: that's all part of just kind of like we're not

319
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: fully using all of those faculties as much as we

320
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: can be as a result of this lockdown. Yeah I was,

321
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: I was saying, I think early on, like I had

322
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: the same feeling as when I would always park in

323
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: the same parking garage, and like after it was like

324
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: six months of parking in the same parking garage because

325
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: like all those memories just like kind of collapsed on

326
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: each other. I could never remember where the funk my

327
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: car was because it was just all like one endless

328
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: expanse of memories of that parking garage. I feel like,

329
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: same deal with now. Just like being at home, constantly working,

330
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: recording from home them, you just don't have the those

331
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: events that get your heart rate up a little bit,

332
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: where you like, you know, go somewhere, drive to work,

333
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: getting mad at the person who cuts you off, go

334
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: to work, tell people about the person who cut you off.

335
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, just dumb ship that we take for granted.

336
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: That is like what you know, our our brain is

337
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: meant to have that social interaction. Yeah, I'm I'm loving

338
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: the hell out of not having to, you know, because

339
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: I have social anxiety not having to be anxious around

340
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: people all the time. But I don't think overall it's

341
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: good for my health and for my mental health. Yeah,

342
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: that anxiety is a good long term Yeah, I feel

343
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: like I feel like this past week has been like

344
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: the first maybe like one of two times I've left

345
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: New York and definitely the only time I've left my

346
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: home for an extented period. I feel like it's the

347
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: most granted it was last week, but I feel like

348
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: it's just the most vivid string of memories that I've

349
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: had six months. Well, yeah, because that's what it is.

350
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: When we're just isolated and we've especially for people who

351
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: work from home, you just we don't have these cues

352
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: that we normally have, like even commuting, right, like you

353
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: use your hippocampus to like navigate the earth to get

354
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: home to your destination. And when you don't do that

355
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: that we're starting to like we're using that less. And

356
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: then also like everyone's on the same We sit in

357
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: the same chair looking at the same zoom meeting, he's

358
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: talking to the same people. Like that also blends around

359
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: and like this neuroscientists saying, it's like it's like playing,

360
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: It's like you need black keys on a piano or

361
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: else you don't know where the funk you're at if

362
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: it's all white keys. And that's what happens with our

363
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: our memories because we're not punctuating things properly, like yeah,

364
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: they're there, but our way to differentiate is completely lost

365
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: because we don't navigate like the roads like we used to.

366
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: If we do things, it might be the same thing.

367
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: So a way to get around that is something like

368
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: as simple as like if you walk your dogs or

369
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: you go on walks, go a completely fucking different route

370
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: because most of the time we'll walk the same fucking

371
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: route just to be like, oh it's time to do

372
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: my walk or I'm gonna go here. Do just do

373
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: ship like that because the more you're putting yourself in different,

374
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: different space, you're now looking at new ship. You might

375
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: hear different ship. It's just like these subtle changes to

376
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: that can help go a long way. And even if

377
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: you're stuck at home and you really can't go outside,

378
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: like they say, even just try something completely different, like

379
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: if you've never fucked with puzzles, like just fucking like

380
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: give yourself something to try too. Because the more we

381
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: can break up the monotony of it, that's just gonna

382
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: help sort of give our you know, lockdown lifestyle is

383
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: a little more texture that we can, you know, still

384
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: remember things because if you said something to me about

385
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: May the month of May, I couldn't tell you a

386
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: fucking thing like I don't because we used to be like,

387
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: oh yeah, because that was two months before the trip

388
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: that I normally go on, which is in June. That

389
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: that that that that. But because we don't have any

390
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: of that, it's really important that we are giving ourselves

391
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: like enough things to stimulate our minds. Even though we're

392
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: comfortable that, but we still need that flexibility with our brains. Yeah.

393
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: I started, uh, I started skateboarding at twenty nine. And

394
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: the last thing I remember before that is getting diarrhea

395
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: in Ghana. It's palm oil. Yeah, no, I I I

396
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: ate uh, beach meat. I ate meat meat on the beach.

397
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: I'd ate beach meat in Ghana too. I had goat

398
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: on a skewer. Oh yeah, had so yah. Yeah, yeah

399
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: that's what I had. That's what I had. Yeah, And

400
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: I know people are like, you want to do that? Like,

401
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're eating it. I'm good. Yeah, did

402
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: you get sick? No. The thing that I got when

403
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: I was in Ghana was just the amount of palm oil.

404
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't used to palm oil being in a

405
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: lot of food, So that was I think that was

406
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: the one thing I had to get used to, is

407
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: the amount of palm oil that's used in cooking, and yeah,

408
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: that's been my whole life. I think I just like,

409
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: I hadn't been to Africa since I was sixteen. I

410
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: went to Nigeria and I think my body just lost

411
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: all the enzymes or whatever, or maybe it was cooked.

412
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah either way. Right, it's always funny

413
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: telling people I got a stomach virus and then I

414
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: say it was in Ghana and they get so much

415
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: more concerned, like, oh God, like, did you did you

416
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: have visions? Yeah? Yeah, did you like see visions? Yeah? No, No,

417
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: not ourselves and our body like completely swap out, like

418
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: within a period of six years, seven seven. That's wild.

419
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: We're just like completely new organisms seven years off, um

420
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: seven to ten years damn. Okay, Yeah, I wish I

421
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: knew when that was happening. I could be a little

422
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: more on top of it. You're like, yo, man, I'm

423
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: about to get my whole new cell shipped up in

424
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: about two months. Bro, let's talk, you know when it's

425
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: all reset, Like yeah, like, trust me, I will get

426
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: to this project. I just need my ship to reset

427
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: cycle out. That will definitely be a SPA treatment in

428
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: the future where you let go and they just like

429
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: accelerate it, so like get all your cells switched out.

430
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, just let me go re up right quick.

431
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: Oh shit, I like broccoli now that's w yeah, because

432
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the same that's the same time period.

433
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: They say your your sense of taste like evolves over

434
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: it's like every seven to ten years. You oh right,

435
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: you start liking different foods. By twenty I liked mushrooms finally, Yeah, mushrooms.

436
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: So it was twenty and that makes sense around if

437
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: we're going by sevens and tens. Damn, that's wild. I

438
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: started doing mushrooms when I was like fifteen. But put

439
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: that ship on a pizza. Um, let's talk about ambient TV.

440
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: There's a there's a piece that I really enjoyed in

441
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: the New Yorker. They've written you up before, Jamie. You

442
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: might have heard of them the New Yorker. Um. They

443
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: they were writing about Emily in Paris and kind of

444
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: how their description of Emily in Paris was very dystopian.

445
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: But they overall we're saying that it reminds them of

446
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: like the rise of ambient music, like the Briany No Thing,

447
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: where he made music that um, he considered as ignorable

448
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: as it is interesting. UM and like that these TV

449
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: shows are basically designed to be background music, like nothing.

450
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: The plot is incredibly thin on purpose, like so that

451
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: you can miss half of it and still just kind

452
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: of have a sense of what's going on. I've always

453
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: used sports this way, like as a thing that you

454
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: can just have on in the background and not really

455
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: pay any attention to. Um. And evidence of that is

456
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: like I can have sports on and my kids don't

457
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: give a shit about it because like won't suck them

458
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: into a TV comma, like literally everything else is because

459
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: it's bad television. UM. But they're making the point that

460
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: this whole movement, like they were talking out other Netflix

461
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: reality shows that um, like the Taco Chronicles, Dream Home Makeover,

462
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: they really go in on. I haven't seen that, but

463
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: apparently very bland. I yeah, I don't, Joel, did you

464
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: watch any of Emily in Paris? I got bitch watched

465
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Emily in Paris. Let me talk about it, Okay, I

466
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: love uh And we call AMI television. My crew calls

467
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: a depression TV, which is like I can't afford to

468
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: get emotionally infested in anything right now, Like the world

469
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: is already too much right but I need something on

470
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: the TV because then otherwise I'm just alone with my

471
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: thoughts and I don't want that either. That's not a

472
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: good recipe for me to get through this evening. So

473
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: Emily in Paris No, definitely not a great show. I

474
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening with any of the fashion in there.

475
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: It's a hot mess. I don't care. I was in

476
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: six You're like, where, what years this? Who did this?

477
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: And why? I don't know. I don't care about any

478
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: of the characters. I was surprised anyone could like develop

479
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: a heated emotional reaction to it, because there's a lot

480
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: of discourse and they're like, Emily is so rude for

481
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: going to Paris and shoving her American ways in their face,

482
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: and like that's literally the plot of the show, like that.

483
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: You should have tuned that after episode three. But it

484
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: was perfect for me because I was just like, Okay,

485
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: it's just there and I can be on my phone

486
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: scrolling Twitter, which is what I really want to be doing. Anyway,

487
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: It's not silent, and it's great. I really feel like

488
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: we perfected this TV in the nineties. Friends peak Friends,

489
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: This peak depression TV. It's peak ambient television. Nobody changes,

490
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: nobody grows, nothing changes about the status of anyone's relationship

491
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,239
Speaker 1: when they're together or not, it doesn't matter. It's just

492
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: a bland, blank slate. And I think that there's really

493
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: truly value in this kind of television. What bothers me

494
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: is when we try to either escalate it or de escalate,

495
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: and we tried to escalate it into something more than

496
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: it is, which is really what I think what happened

497
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: to Emily in Paris. I think people were bored and

498
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: we're like, I can rag on this show wonderful, but

499
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: it's a vital aspect to my life. I really enjoy um.

500
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 1: I think British bake Off maybe have a little more

501
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: emotional steaks in it for some people, but mostly it's

502
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: just nice people baking awesome. They're really sorry when they

503
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: have to let someone go excellent. Anything that's not gonna

504
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: bring me up too high or down too low. That's

505
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: exactly what we're looking for. It's literally yet I feel

506
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: like Depression TV. It was nice of them to call

507
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: it ambient, but but it's it is like it feels like,

508
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, even like great depression media, where you're like

509
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: this is about nothing and everywhere it's it's pleasant. You

510
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: don't feel like you're going to turn around and something

511
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: horrible is going to be happening, like if you were watching,

512
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: for example, the news, like it's just it's just my

513
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I really hope that I had like a very abrupt

514
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: fantasy what I saw this piece about ambient TV and

515
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: it's that the creator of Emily in Paris releases a

516
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: like scathing response, being like, how dare you say Emily

517
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: in Paris was about nothing? Mene with it was about everything.

518
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: I just have no idea. It was a really bad

519
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: TV show. This is how they found out that it

520
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: was only number two because everyone was so sad. Oh

521
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: my god. This is how I feel about Like Netflix

522
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: has really perfected the algorithm right of making a show

523
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: that you don't necessarily have to be invested in. But

524
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: it's like I love the way they like John like

525
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: their new show Jingle Jangle. It's like if you were

526
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: sort of into high school musical but you want some

527
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: black representation in your Christmas shows, and you know you

528
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: like a little bit of comedy, but you're not gonna

529
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: laugh too hard because that's not what we're doing here.

530
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: Perfect it's so straight down the middle. You can watch

531
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: it with your conservative family and no one's gonna fight. Listen,

532
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 1: it's genius, it's necessary. And then you know, every once

533
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: in a while you get a Queen's gambit and you're like, cool, great,

534
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: something I can actually think my teeth into when I'm

535
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: in the mood for it. But yeah, we need like

536
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: sevens of ambient television to get through whatever the next

537
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: like eight months is going to be before we can

538
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: re emerge into society. I enjoyed. Yeah, Julian and the

539
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: Phantoms was fun. That was like, I feel like a cute,

540
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: underrated show that was like very high school musical e

541
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: but like it's it's just cute, cute, I like cute

542
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: ship that isn't gonna remind me of my mortality exactly. Yeah,

543
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: that's what's on the menu. Yeah. The point that they

544
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: like their description of ambient TV is kind of that

545
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: it it basically crowds out the noise in your mind

546
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: and just like makes everything feel like like go down smooth,

547
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: basically like smooths out. Like where whereas when we first

548
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: had like streaming tving, you could like choose a show

549
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: to watch and it would be like a show that

550
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: like was engrossing and that was what we valued. Now

551
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: it's more just like here is a time portal to

552
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: uh an hour from now in the future. You just

553
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: put on your like open up Netflix and put this

554
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: show on, and you'll be in the future, which is

555
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: kind of a dark way to think about human existence.

556
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: I also have found comfort in like the all these

557
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I talked about them all the time now,

558
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: but like these YouTube channels that are like by funny

559
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: people who are based They're talking about nothing. They're talking

560
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: about like Pokemon card scandals for forty five minutes, and

561
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: you're just like, oh, this is just engrossing enough. I

562
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: don't really need to listen, But like, good good for

563
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: them for caring. Like, I don't know, it's just it's nice.

564
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: It feels not horrible. That's what I mean when I

565
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: say nice. Yeah, they they highlight. TikTok is the ultimate

566
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: in ambient TV because it just is a stream of

567
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: kind of passive, you know, unremarkable videos that just go

568
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: down easy Slutly depends on what videos you're enjoying on TikTok.

569
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: I could go a lot of way if your stream

570
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: is just those like five dance moved dance things, and sure,

571
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: sure ambient and endless, but there some people are being

572
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: creative and some people are being very weird, and some

573
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: people are being you know, weirdly political. Uh yeah, I

574
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't say. I wouldn't say, go to TikTok looking for

575
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: your ambient television fix. Um. But I do think that

576
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: it's not a streaming issue either. I wouldn't blame this.

577
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is what streaming has come down

578
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: to now. I think it's absolutely just a sign of

579
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: the times and the fact that people cannot engage. Like

580
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: I started watching Halt and Catch Fire, which is stunning.

581
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: It's such good television. I got three season one and

582
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh man, they're really doing with some

583
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: real life issues here. I want to put some backburner

584
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: around to it later, Like they're like, oh, financial crisis

585
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: coming up. I was like, no, no back out of it. Um.

586
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think if we were watching on network,

587
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: and to be fair, let's look at what networks are

588
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: coming out with right now in the middle of the pandemic.

589
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: We've got two versions of the mass singer. One that's

590
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: just lip singers where they're trying to see if you're

591
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: the actual person singing or not. This is the content

592
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: we need to get through, and I really think TV

593
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: is doing a good job for us, even if it's

594
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: not intellectually stimulating. There's too much to do. We don't

595
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: need to be any further intellectually stimulated. At this point,

596
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: did we talk about do we ever talk about Mickey

597
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: Rourke on the Masked Singer? We have a big Mass

598
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: Singer blind spot. I am here to say I stopped.

599
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm behind on Mass Singer. I'm not gonna say I

600
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: stopped watching this season, but I had to stop watching

601
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: after I got to Mickey Rourke episode because it was

602
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: so good that I'm like, nothing is going to top

603
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: this for me for months. So what happened was this?

604
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: It's still so funny. Okay, so it's like the first

605
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: round of Mass Singer, which takes like four weeks. But uh,

606
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: they bring out a celebrity dressed like a big purple

607
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: gremlin and he sings, Oh what did he sing? Whatever

608
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: he's saying, he didn't really know the words. Uh, and

609
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't good and the whole panel couldn't guess who

610
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: it was. Nick Cannon gets up on stage to have

611
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: people guess, and then whoever's inside the Grimlin is like,

612
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: no more, no more. I'm liked. He quits the masked

613
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,959
Speaker 1: singer after his first performance. He knows he's gonna lose.

614
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: He rips off the Gremlins head. It seems like it wasn't.

615
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it might have been pre planned, but Nick can't.

616
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: If so, best acting performance of Nick Cannon's life, because

617
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: he was like, wait, you can't, you can't take, you

618
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: can't quit. He unmasked himself. It was Mickey Rourke. Everyone

619
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 1: lost their ship and he was like, yeah, they asked

620
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: me to be on and I watched two or three

621
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: episodes and I said, why why not? But this costume

622
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: is really heavy and I want to go home, and

623
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: he just left all of us. Yes, I did not

624
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: know how it went down. I just saw the review

625
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter the same night, right, So I just Mickey

626
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: Rourk's tiny head, his head not tiny, but in a

627
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: giant stood it looks small and he's covered in like

628
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: purple fuz and he's like a little sweaty, And I'm like,

629
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: how did they get making Rourke to come on this show?

630
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: And that to me was a funny part, but knowing

631
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: that he was just like, oh, no, I have about today.

632
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: It's so much sweeter. It's it's everything I think everybody

633
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: wishes they could do it, just like you know what, No,

634
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: I'm taking this human costume off. I have to go

635
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: home now. I had no idea. It was his first performance,

636
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: but it was his first performance and he unmasked himself.

637
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: It was I'm shy. I mean, there was a lot

638
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: of ship going on. It was peak election stuff going on,

639
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: so I feel like it really slipped under the radar,

640
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: but there's clips of it online. It was like, truly

641
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: the best television I've seen in a really long time.

642
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: Listen at the Heart Studio. We have Snicky's text or

643
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: infamous yes from the season on the wall on a

644
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: giant flag, and now I really feel like we need

645
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: to have Acy Rourke with his head off. You know,

646
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: just hey, I'm right there. It's it's iconic tvel television

647
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: that is amazing. Is that great of television he's because

648
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: when you just hear the voice escaped, like right before

649
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: he rips the gremlin head off, he goes, no more,

650
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: no more of us. It's the greatest clip you'll you'll

651
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: ever watch it's like pure saratonin. Apparently Netflix is trying

652
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: is going to try to be like a network. They're

653
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: going to do like a streaming, like a linear version

654
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: of Netflix. So uh, that's interesting to me. Wait, like wait,

655
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: like you just turn on Netflix send there's something on.

656
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh watching. So this is something I've somewhat been asking for,

657
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: and I think it absolutely feeds into the ambient depression

658
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: TV conversation of like, I don't want to have to

659
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: make a choice. I came here to put something on

660
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: the TV and walk away. And if you're like me,

661
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: there's you have like five shows in rotation that you're

662
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: like like me, It's the King of the Hill. Like,

663
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: I guess I can watch more of that any time.

664
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: I will absolutely do some more. Bob's Burger's Girlfriends is

665
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: on somewhere the Game Crazy Drama. So I feel like,

666
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: but I still think I don't understand my no streaming

667
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: services listening to the Internet, because the Internet has been

668
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: begging for playlist style streams forever. Like what if I

669
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: just put all five of my shows in there and

670
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: you just shook it up and where like here's episode

671
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: five from season six and I just watched that like

672
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: that is honestly the dreams. I don't dress Netflix. Netflix

673
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: is gonna do what any smart business person would do,

674
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: which is like, here's our new show. We hope you

675
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: get hooked to it. I don't want to watch you

676
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: a new show. I don't watch something I watched eight

677
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: thousand times, so I don't have the anxiety of having

678
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going to happen next. I just

679
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: want to know, Yeah, they will totally fuck it up though,

680
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: Like you're just like I did not want to watch

681
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: The Holidate and you know that that, and now in

682
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: forty five minutes into it because I couldn't find the

683
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: remote and I'm hooked. Goddamn. Just a p s A

684
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: to everyone. You don't need to watch The Holidate. I

685
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: took that out for us all. It's not worth it.

686
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: I think about watching Jingle Jingle and just doing like

687
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: a live tweet of it because the fact that it's

688
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: name it's not named after the drug that's on the

689
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: arch series Riverdale on the CW, but it does share

690
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: the same name Jingle Jingle and Yeah and Riverdale Jingle

691
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: Jingle is like they're hard drug. It's like the heroine

692
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: of Riverdale it's terrible, but it's funny. They boxed a

693
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: bear in prison, Jack that someone brought a bear into

694
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: a prison, put it in a boxing ring, and then

695
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: had one of the stars fighting. Like the show was unhinged,

696
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: but in best possible way. I just I'm curious, like

697
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: if there is any correlation between Joe Jingle Jangle and

698
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: River Deal and Jingle Jangle, the comedic hip hop musical

699
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: Christmas Special on Netflix. I feel like there's got to

700
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: be some good media discourse in there somewhere. I was

701
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: in on Jingle Jangle the second I learned Forest Whittaker's

702
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: character was named geron Kiss Jangle, I was like, Okay,

703
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch that. The trail alone is enough. The

704
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: trailer is like I have to kicking Michael Key plays

705
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: the villain, and like, what in what world is there

706
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: a series or single? It's a movie. Okay, I'm in.

707
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm already watching it right now. All right, let's take

708
00:40:47,719 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back and are back.

709
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: What is something from your search history, uh that you

710
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: don't want us to know about? Um? I mean, I'm

711
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: pretty open about all of my fix that I I

712
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: do search, but I am a little bit embarrassed. Um

713
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: that it's two weeks after Halloween and my search history

714
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: is so full of Halloween stuff. I can't can't get

715
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: enough of spooky stuff. Like you look like you want

716
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: to buy spooky stuff spooky to put in the house. No,

717
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm goth, and you guys knew that. You guys accepted

718
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: that I'm a goth American. Um, I do want some

719
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: spooky stuff in my house. I do have a couple

720
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: of spooky things, like I have a large kimono on

721
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: a wall, um and a blackout like a week ago

722
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: and it was very creepy, um stuff like that. Um.

723
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: So the thing that I have have been I think

724
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing that I've searched or still keep searching, is,

725
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: um this called Jimmy. I'm trying to pronounce it right,

726
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: but it's Halloween costumes that are like very like mundane

727
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: and like specific. It's like a Japanese trend called Jimmy. Yeah,

728
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: like just meaning like subdued, like just plain totally just

729
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: like playing Halloween costumes of like someone who has like

730
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: has too many pens in their pocket, or somebody's like

731
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: waiting in line, but they're like busy to go somewhere else.

732
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: So yes, like a very Japanese bit to just be like, No,

733
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: these are gimmy, like it's like someone who dressed up

734
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 1: as like, oh, I dressed up as someone who has

735
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: a lanyard and it's flipped the wrong way that you

736
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: can definitely tell the difference between good and bad coffee

737
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: exactly have to explain it's it's pretty much my favorite thing.

738
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: Your your search has ruined my day because now this

739
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: is all I'm gonna be looking at. Yes, some of

740
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: these are super brilliant, like they it's not always just

741
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: like super mundane and like one of them is a

742
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: woman with her face painted as a standard Zoom background,

743
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: like a little piece of the standard zoom background, and

744
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: her costume is that weird thing that sometimes happened with

745
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: Zoom meeting backgrounds. And then they have like bystanders from

746
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: a famous frame and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. They just have

747
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: like a dude from the background of that. I'm just

748
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: looking at this. I see his Jojo memes. He'd be posting.

749
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: You know, you know me, what is something you think

750
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: is underrated? This might not be underrated for most people,

751
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: but in my life it was underrated having the proper

752
00:43:55,360 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: storage system. I am a messy person. I come from

753
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: a line of messy people. As my dad said about

754
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: my mom, she's the messiest person I've ever met um

755
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: and she's it's not that she's slothful, she just doesn't

756
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: know how to organize and doesn't know how to like

757
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: purge and so I and I know, I sound like

758
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: an adult blaming my mom for something. Maybe it was

759
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: not her job to to pass this along to me,

760
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: but somehow I just like never accrued the knowledge and

761
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: then know how to be an organized person who doesn't

762
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: have just clutter on like every horizontal surface. It's just

763
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: a thing that I I don't know. Like my husband

764
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: is not he's also messy, but it's not as bad

765
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: as me. I just don't know how to do it.

766
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, there was this article I read on the

767
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: cut and it was like, here's how I organized my

768
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: small bathroom. And I actually have a pretty good sized bathroom.

769
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: But I bought some of the under cabinet storage drawers

770
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: that she recommended, and I put them in the under

771
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: the sink area, and all of a sudden, everything that

772
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: was just a big pile of crap before is like

773
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: neatly organized, and when I open it, I just feel

774
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: this sense of calm wash over me, and I'm like,

775
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is how people do it. My problem,

776
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: in addition to hoarding too much crap, my problem is

777
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: that I've just never I don't have the right shelves

778
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: and drawers, Like the right kind of storage system can

779
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: make your space Again, I'm saying to me, everyone knows

780
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: the right kind of sources can make your space not

781
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: feel totally out of control, and I've just never done

782
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: that before. One counterpoint to that is my my wife

783
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: and I are both very messy people who are very

784
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: like a d D. And we have found that we

785
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: have a problem with clutter from organizational products like we

786
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: have we have contained inner store ship like everywhere. We

787
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: have probably thirty books about like living with a d

788
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: D without like medication, Like, yeah, it can be a

789
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: problem if you don't stick to it. So it is good.

790
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: It's good that like really making a plan and sticking

791
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: to it as opposed to just having drawers upon drawers

792
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: and like keeping the ones when they break because he

793
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: bought like some cheap plastic shelving. Isn't that the most

794
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: beautiful like poetry in the world when you're just like

795
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: laying in a pile of depression. Books like that are

796
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: just like spine uncracked and you're like any any day now. Yes,

797
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: I have a book called Clutter's Last Stand that I've

798
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: never opened. It is Clutter. That's a custod reference. Yeah,

799
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: that's rules. Who is the audience, just me for the check?

800
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: Just me someday I am going to have to go

801
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: out and buy that book now. Unfortunately for my household.

802
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Uh? The answer

803
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: is is specifically tied to my dog, which is that

804
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: I think chihuahuas are very much underrated. Um. I have

805
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: an eight pound black Chihuahua and they get a really

806
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: bad rap. And that's because most people who own chihuahuas

807
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: aren't very good at training them. Um. But she's amazing.

808
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: She hikes eight miles with me. Well eight pound body hikes.

809
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: Will like, do eight miles. I'm tired of the end

810
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: of it, and she's like, no, I'm still ready to go.

811
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: She's super trainable. She I've recently taught her to put

812
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: away her toys. I have to do each individually, but

813
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: she will, like I say, like take it. She'll take it,

814
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: and I point to the basket where we put her

815
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: toys and she'll drop it in there. Like these dogs

816
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: are amazing and I don't know why they get hated

817
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: on so much. It's it's really unfortunate. I so you,

818
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure as someone who like loves already you've confessed

819
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: you are into zoology, so as part of you being like,

820
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: I can make this work, like I don't know about

821
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: all this because I think I can make any of

822
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: it work, right, because I feel like a lot of

823
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: people just sort of get if they're not used to

824
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: training a dog or like how that works or something

825
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: like they give up very easily, and then you get

826
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: the runaway train effect where it's like I don't know,

827
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: I think my chihuahua is in here, I don't know

828
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: check or is everything ripped up? Oh yeah, the dogs

829
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: in here then, or like like oh they shipped on

830
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: your pillow that you were sleeping on. That's weird. But

831
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: yeahs do you get like what are you using like

832
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: a clicker method and just treat positive reinforcement? How do

833
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: you to teach her a new treat, a new trick.

834
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: I will generally use a clicker because she actually responds

835
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: relatively well to it. Um, she's not one of those

836
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: dogs where it can just like you can. You can

837
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: show them a thing and then they'll they'll mimic you

838
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: like they're super dogs that can do that. She's not

839
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: like that. Um, but the clicker works well with her.

840
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, just catching the trick. So if she

841
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: does something that I want her that I like, then

842
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: I will praise her like crazy, like it's a it's

843
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 1: a party in this apartment, if right, And then she'll

844
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: figure it out and she'll try to to recreate that

845
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: moment and then more. Yeah. I if you could see

846
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: the amount of just toys around me right now, I

847
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: could use I'm taking notes right now for how to

848
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: train my two and four year old to do humans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

849
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: I I because actually I was talking to my wife

850
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: yesterday about how like as far as like catching a

851
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: trick and then praising a specific behavior, like it is

852
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: actually quite similar with with very young children, right, Like

853
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: you praise them when they do something that's really good,

854
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: and you just like catch them in the act and

855
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: they try and recreate it because they know it's a

856
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: good thing. I think that stops working after a while

857
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: when you or you reinforce the wrong behaviors that you

858
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: take into adulthood and you're like, oh, I'm meant to

859
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: be passive around this kind of person, because that's how

860
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: I always been. Like, oh, good for you. If someone

861
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: tells you to come here and you know, do you

862
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: do that? That's okay. The other thing I want to

863
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: know about chihuahuas is I I like chihuahua's, but they're

864
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: big ass skulls trying to freak me out. Like I'm

865
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: always looking at him like, yeah, the dome skull. Yeah,

866
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: like up with your skull piece, Chia. Yeah, it's weird.

867
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: She actually, So there are two types of chihuahuas. She's

868
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 1: she's not a purebread she's a rescue from Texas. Um.

869
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: But there are two types of chiawas one has like

870
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: a dome skull and the other one has more of

871
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: like a flat skull. So she's a flat skull. Um.

872
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you. The dome the dome skull is weird. No,

873
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, no shade to dome skulls, you know, but

874
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: for me maybe not my cup of tea. Yeah, no,

875
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: I I get you, I feel you. Yeah, it's just

876
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: something it looks uncomfortable, like when you see like the

877
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: trembling chihuahuas that have like the dome skull, because you're like,

878
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: is your head about to explode? Is that's why you're shaking?

879
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: Because that's what it looks like to me. So I

880
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: will tell you that the trem ing is one major

881
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 1: downside of this particular animal. Like she does it all

882
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: the time if she's stressed out, if she's cold, which

883
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: is a lot of the time, she will she will shake.

884
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: And that I do like, I wish there was nothing

885
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: that she did. Um, but you know what, I'm cold

886
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: all the time too, So if I'm cold, I know

887
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: she's cold. So we help each other, you know, we

888
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: alert each other to this environmental problem that we're just

889
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: by thinking about you just like Hi, every time I

890
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: get in her arms so cold And Jamie, Um, I

891
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 1: noticed on Twitter that you've been You tweeted a truly

892
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: cursed Christmas tree ornament. Then I I can't believe exists

893
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: and and you are telling me that there are more

894
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: of these, is what I'm uttering. So this year is uh,

895
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: my first year living with my partner and living in

896
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: a place that Christmas tree could sort of fit. I

897
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: like have been shopping for like a fake apartment de

898
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: sized Christmas tree. So that is how I came across

899
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: these ornaments. It appears that thousands of them have been sold. Uh,

900
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: and they're all about I'm going to drop some of

901
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: them into the chat and then just kind of describe them.

902
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: But just keep in mind for people listening that every

903
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: word I'm about to say is in a different font

904
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 1: and uh, and and that it's accompanied by a cute

905
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: little clip art. Did you get my first one? It

906
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: says twenty it's and I have to imagine this has

907
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: to be the size of a dinner plate because it

908
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: says so many things. It says, shop online, wash those

909
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,600

Speaker 1: get everyone excited about YouTube right in time for the hostes.

923

Speaker 1: the next one is says a year to remember. This

932
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,440

945
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: when I because they're all on like the best selling ornaments,

946
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: like they're like, these are the top ones. A lot

947
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: of people to have these dregs of man. No, they're

00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: like the top Okay, So on the twelve the twelve

949
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: Days of Christmas Corona gave to me is what we're Yeah,

950
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: the pandemic gave to me. Twelve canceled plans, eleven face masks,

951
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: ten sanitizers, murder horn nine murder hornets, eight zoom call,

952
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: seven mental breakdown six feet apart. That's the five curb

953
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: side pick up, four quarantines, three travel restrictions to Karen's complaining,

954
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: and a message shortage of t P. It's a real

955
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: that's a really bold move to say two, Karen's complaining

956
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: for an ornament that is clearly big marketed at Karen's. Yeah,

957
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 1: like self aware Karen's. So those are yeah, those are

958
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: the most cursed coronavirus themed ornaments. Um they are. They

959
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: are topping the charts on Jeff Bezos his little experiment

960
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: and uh yeah they're they're they're the worst ship I've

961
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: ever seen. But they're all all three of those are

962
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: in the top ten right now. Is he the YouTube guy?

963
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: I think he's managed to get to YouTube. I think

964
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: he should probably serve the channel though I think it

965
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: would be very well received. These are all like if

966
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: there was a conversation starters for dummies like these are

967
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: all like how about the murder hornets? Already imagining a

968
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: scenario where I discovered that someone I like has these ornaments.

969
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean I'm buying all of them. Okay, I don't know.

970
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 1: I don't presume to say you'd like me, but they

971
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: will all be on my Christmas tree. I have. I

972
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: have found all three of these off of Amazon. Um,

973
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: if you're not if you're not doing Amazon, you can

974
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 1: still get these hideous ornaments, and I feel like I'm

975
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: going to get one. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out

976
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: just as like a relic, not as I'm not even

977
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: going to hang it up. I'm just gonna put it

978
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: in a drawer and then someday my children will be like,

979
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: what's that and I'll have to sing that song to them.

980
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: Why do you think YouTube it's on that first one?

981
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: Just I'm just I know this is not the most

982
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: the silliest thing. Why did they just find out about

983
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: YouTube during the pandemic? Think well, as the graphic designer,

984
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: I just learned about YouTube earlier this year, and so

985
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a big year for me and YouTube.

986
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'm not going to describe this one,

987
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: but there's there's just so many there's so many fonts

988
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: and YouTube is uh not, there's more. There's more, not

989
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: the YouTube font, but there's more than one ornament that

990
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: says YouTube on it. As as if we were all

991
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: as if we've all agreed on this. I don't. I

992
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: don't quite get it. Did they be? The idea is

993
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: like you finally have time to stay home and watch

994
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: YouTube like we've always dreamed, But like there do they

995
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: think that that's what people who are doing do they

996
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: think TikTok is YouTube? Oh is TikTok YouTube? How do

997
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: we how would we ever know? There's no way to

998
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: tell you, guys, that's actually a good call. The font

999
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: situation in the one you just sent is awful. Essential

1000
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: Workers is in a like horror movie font um. Virtual

1001
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: learning just the the use of white spain. And I'm

1002
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: not a graphic designer at all, but the use of

1003
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: white space under virtual learning is very upsetting to me.

1004
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: I hate this one. I hate the most just aesthetics

1005
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: face masks. There's too many Sarah's happening. It's very Thermometer

1006
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:27,479
Speaker 1: isn't first of all, it just is thermometer in unreadable cursive. Wait,

1007
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: where's that? I just sent? As many thermometer? And what

1008
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: about these thermometers? I think that's one that even like

1009
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: the worst like conversation starter attempt like would still be like,

1010
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: what huh right about this year? Right? With the uh

1011
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: the thermometer, you know, and these essential workers? What are

1012
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: you talking about? It's brutal? Is does that birthday parade?

1013
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Birthday parade? Yeah, I think very bad job of writing parade.

1014
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: That is like that is a nightmare. I think the

1015
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: horror font that says essential workers is just straight up offensive.

1016
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: That's really that one is a bad one. If they

1017
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: didn't do it in a horror I hadn't even noticed that. Like,

1018
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: but it is a total that Yeah, like someone wrote

1019
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: that in blood on a mirror. Yeah. Um, I'm sorry

1020
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: that I showed these to you, but I couldn't keep

1021
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: the fact that someone somewhere is making a ton of

1022
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: money off making these hideous ornaments. And uh, and people

1023
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: seem to be on board. If you've purchased one of

1024
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: these ornaments, reach out to me. Was something you think

1025
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: is underrated? Um? Something I think is underrated is and

1026
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: hopefully you guys share this with me. But Hostess cupcakes,

1027
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: specifically the orange kind. I like orange Hostess cupcakes. I

1028
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: can only find them in some convenience stores. I can

1029
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: never find them in a grocery store. I can never

1030
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: find them in a pack bigger than two. Um, sometimes

1031
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: they just don't have them. Um they sustain me sometimes

1032
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: when I'm like, I don't know, really stone or whatever,

1033
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: but they're delicious. Um. I don't know if you guys

1034
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: have fucked with the citrus. I think because when I

1035
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: in my mind, the Hostess regular one is the chocolate

1036
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: brown one with the white swirly on top. Right, And okay,

1037
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: this is the one, except it's orange colored. Yes, and

1038
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: it's orange favorite because you know, truth be told, I've

1039
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: only messed around with the with the NORMI the norm Core,

1040
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,479
Speaker 1: just the icing, and I want, I do want both

1041
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: of you to treat yourselves. I mean, so you guys

1042
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: haven't experimented with the rest of the Hostess catalog. If

1043
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: you guys had a snowball before, I'm host curious, but

1044
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: I haven't fully dolven yet. Oh my gosh, I've definitely

1045
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: is the one that's like more marshmallowy than you would expect, right,

1046
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: the pink like coconutti marshmallow one. That's one that, like

1047
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: in theory, I should be super into, but like the

1048
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: marshmallowness of it all doesn't doesn't really do it for me. Jack,

1049
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: show me your practice. Yeah, um, the I've never had

1050
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: the orange, but that sounds so there's like a citrus

1051
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: tang that they've infused into the Yes, the icing has

1052
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of a citrus tang. I'm sure it

1053
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: has absolutely no nutritional value. Not asking about that. Come on, yeah, OK, good, Yeah,

1054
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: there's no vide have been seeing there or any of

1055
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: that bad. But to fight off scurvy. I mean this

1056
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: is like if we're gonna be trash Americans, Like this

1057
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: is what America is unique for. Is like, it's not

1058
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: we America doesn't have any cuisine. We have fucking Hostess

1059
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: cupcakes that are made with all sorts of unnatural sciences

1060
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: that make it so that they don't break down over

1061
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: the course of twenty years like they'll they'll still be

1062
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: moist if you leave them open on a shelf for

1063
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: twenty years. Uh. That is that's our offering to humanity.

1064
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: My favorite flavor since a very young age is blue raspberry,

1065
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's real. Mine's mystery. That's my

1066
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: favorite flavor. If we're going on, yeah, like bottle pops

1067

01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the I'm on face mystery? Wait? I

1069
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: thought mystery was just a rotation of different ones without

1070
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: the food coloring, so you can. But I feel like,

1071
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: definitely it just on like maybe two flavors. Whenever a
