Speaker 7: I was like, yo, bro, he fucking turned off the

00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 7: fucking world.

00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: Oh my god, never come back.

00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: good movie. Something about the movie.

172
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,480

174
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,840

00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, can I talk about the craziest part of

00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,959

00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: I didn't do last time. A lot of that. Do

230
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: dragons take bleed damage? That's they do?

231
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: Wow.

232
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: There, I guess one interesting thing was I've been I

233
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: started watching the show The Curse on Showtime, the new

234
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 4: Nathan Fielders Show, and I told my boyfriend that it's

235
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: like improvised like that, It's like it's got like it's

236
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: like Kurby Your Enthusiasm, where like there's a script, but

237
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: like all the dialogues improvised, and he's like, no, the

238
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: fuck it's not. And I was like, no, I swear

239
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: I read.

240
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 8: It somewhere, and I was trying to find where I

241
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 8: read it, and I think I made it up and

242
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 8: I can't really confirm if I actually read if I

243
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 8: actually did read that somewhere or.

244
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: Not on this show? Is that yeah, just off the

245
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: strength of my male confidence, yeah, right, straight up?

246
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

247
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: And then I like occasionally I humble myself to like

248
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: my partner, I'd be like, yo, okay, so I was

249
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: so fucking wrong about this earlier, like you were right

250
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: by even questioning it because even though you didn't look

251
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: for it, I tried to find the evidence and I

252
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 2: could not find it. So that was in my head.

253
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: I'm like, actually like crazy, so like I really can't.

254
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: I don't feel like I should apologize because I did.

255
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: It's very possible I did read that in my mind

256
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: palace somewhere right right right, yeah, yeah, mixed up in

257
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: the mind power. I'm not lying, and I'm also not wrong.

258
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 4: Even if I gave wrong information, I'm not.

259
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: Oh. I like that. And this is something Trump is

260
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: doing in court right now.

261
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: And as your lawyer, Jenny, I would I would just

262
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: ask the advice that you continue along that path. Do

263
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: not admit anything, no matter what.

264
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: What's something you think is overrated.

265
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 6: Okay, this is like pertaining to my book a little bit,

266
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 6: but you know, like how people are. People will do

267
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 6: this thing where they're like, yeah, I'm getting good with money.

268
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 6: I've been doing some investing, and then it's just like

269
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 6: the Rominhood app or something like.

270
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: That, right right.

271
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 6: You know, it's like these apps where you like buy

272
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: small amounts of single stock. And I hate these freaking

273
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 6: apps so much because I think like it almost perpetuates

274
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 6: that kind of rich dad, poor dad, like girl Boss energy,

275
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 6: where it's like you don't nobody actually takes the time

276
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 6: to teach you. It's like maybe a lower middle class

277
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 6: like actual like person financial literacy tools that.

278
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 9: Could help you.

279
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 6: Instead, it's like, well, just you know, you know, investing

280
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 6: in stock is good, so just download this app, or

281
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 6: you invest a few dollars in these single stocks, and

282
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 6: you're not getting like the value of diversification. You're not

283
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 6: investing in index funds or mutual funds. You're not doing

284
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 6: those things are actually good for lower income people, but

285
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 6: it makes people feel like they're financially responsible, so then

286
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 6: they like never pursue the next step, like they never

287
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 6: actually look into what they should be doing that would

288
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 6: be benefiting them more long term. Right, So I feel

289
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 6: like there's almost like a pop finance thing going on

290
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 6: in the world. Like we have pop psychology, you know,

291
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 6: we also have like pop finance, and I think that's

292
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 6: kind of the same thing that goes along with like

293
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 6: the rich dead porta thing, the single stock investment apps

294
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 6: on your phone, you know, all of these kinds of things. Also,

295
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 6: like the apps where they help you find your subscriptions

296
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 6: and cancel your subscriptions, like, don't get me wrong, that

297
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 6: can be really really useful. But showing people these apps,

298
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 6: especially in like advertising and saying like, well, you're broke

299
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 6: because you're actually paying eight dollars a month more for

300
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 6: one subscription service you forgot about.

301
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 9: Is just like so insulting to me.

302
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 6: It's like beyond the pale, and like people aren't broke

303
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 6: because they forgot one eight dollars subscription service.

304
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 9: Like great, yeah, you have an app that does that.

305
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 9: That's so cool.

306
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 6: But this whole world of pop finance kind of like

307
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 6: in my head, does the personal accountability thing and totally

308
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 6: denies all of the systemic, structural issues that actually affect

309
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 6: people's real life and how they interact with money.

310
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: Right right, Avocado toast.

311
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 6: Right exactly, it's like more manifestations of that same idea.

312
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 9: Exactly.

313
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, ever since I stopped eating avocado toast,

314
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: my credit score has gone up.

315
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: It's it was the main problem in my life. Yeah,

316
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: and I should admit how much avocado toast I was

317
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: eating up front. It was a problem both for my

318
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: health financially and physically, and for the local economy. I

319
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: was told R two I was closing the entire cafes.

320
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: There's always some version of like being like, yeah, there's

321
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: a problem with like sort of X industry or like

322
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: societal threat or some existential threat we have. It's like,

323
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: but the solution isn't to interrogate the like their lack

324
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: of regulations or the greed that got us here. It's

325
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: actually that you should buy this kind of straw and

326
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: then that's the solution. And then we complete, Like most

327
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: people are just like, oh, thank god, I've been offered

328
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: this consumer solution to a problem. I'm just feeding the machine.

329
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 6: That goes back to the Ronald Reagan thing too, where

330
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 6: he was like the king of deregulation and when we

331
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 6: talk about like a lot of what's happening financially in

332
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 6: the world, but also like socially in terms of that

333
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 6: kind of like peak liberalization of the economy where you're like, well,

334
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 6: the government's not going to do anything, and we're going

335
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 6: to have these private companies come in and they're going

336
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 6: to solve all these problems, even if they're problems that

337
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 6: aren't actually the main issues we should be addressing, and

338
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 6: they are. They're going to offer you consumption based solutions

339
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 6: that it's and it puts everything on the consumer, this

340
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 6: like personal accountability thing, and it does we become these

341
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 6: pop culture kind of consumers of ideology as well. So

342
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 6: it's like, okay, when you consume a special kind of straw.

343
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 6: You're also consuming a special kind of ideology that goes

344
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 6: along with that. And that's where we see like our

345
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 6: social and political issues overlap with like capitalism, just like

346
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 6: people trying to sell you things all day long, and

347
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 6: I think people get fatigued from that without even realizing

348
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 6: that that's what's affecting them.

349
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: So at firstly right, and let me guess before we

350
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: get your underrated I want to guess what it's going

351
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: to be. The Stanley. The Stanley mugs.

352
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: So fucking dope that there's such a good investment they

353
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: hold their value.

354
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: No, okay, I.

355
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 9: Like you, I'm a humble person on the internet.

356
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: I saw the video where that chick's car caught on

357
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 6: fire and her cup still had ice in it.

358
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 9: I like you thought, now that's a cup, that's a cup.

359
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 9: It's an impressive cut.

360
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: I love that video though, Like she opens the door

361
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: and it's clearly frozen outside of the car too, and

362
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 2: it's like, it's not like you left it in the

363
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: desert for fucking three weeks. You left it in a

364
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: refrigerator for a few days, and of course there's still

365
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: ice in it. But yeah, the height, what is something

366
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: you think is under rated.

367
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 10: We're gonna stick with the ice cream theme here, or

368
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 10: a frozen yoguran de general, a simple tart flavored frozen

369
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 10: yogurt or a plane vanilla ice cream is so superior.

370
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: And if you have.

371
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 10: Those done well, you don't need all the bells and

372
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 10: whistles that everybody's doing right now.

373
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: Yep, who's your what's your who's your favorite tart, frozen

374
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: yogurt or ice cream?

375
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 10: You know what, I'm pretty indifferent. I can get it

376
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 10: from Yogurtland. I could do tooty Fruity, I could do

377
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 10: pink Berry. I could do pretty much anything with a

378
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 10: tart frozen yogurt. I haven't seen that messed up.

379
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah it's good, becaus got that little yogurty bite to it,

380
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: just a little, a little pucker. Yeah it's good. It

381
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: reminds you like when I could, like my mom wouldn't

382
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: buy me like snack pack or like chocolate pudding at

383
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: the storage.

384
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 7: Like you should be yogurt And I'm like, there's no

385
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 7: fucker sugar in here.

386
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: But I'll but like that's all I could get down on.

387
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: So once. I remember when pink Berry came out, I

388
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: was like again, I'll just eat this. Yep, no topics.

389
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 10: You're like, if you put regular yogurt in the freezer,

390
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 10: is it frozen yogurt? Or is there something special about

391
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 10: frozen yoga? Is it not just yogurt?

392
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: What is it? I don't know.

393
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how they make it.

394
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 11: I'm realizing this. It's always just been a ministry except

395
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 11: and I pulled the handle right, It's probably good.

396
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex, are you a topping guy? Are you a

397
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,879

Speaker 11: and like, make dessert just one thing. When you're having dessert,

403
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 11: just do it well, like even the how like winter

404
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 11: always reminds me that I don't like eggnog very much

405
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 11: because I don't need dessert to also be alcohol Like

406
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 11: I can just have alcohol.

407
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: The flavor fucking goes.

408
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 10: I don't even put alcohol mine.

Speaker 2: Yeah, the flavor go I will eat the ice cream.

410
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 11: We were doing so fucking well missus this year.

411
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 10: This past year, I found a ice cream sandwich that

412
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 10: had eggnog in the middle. It was an eggnog ice

413
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 10: cream sandwich.

414
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: But no, sounds pretty good. Where was that at?

415
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 10: It was at uh like Roups or Bonds, one of

416
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 10: those main grocery store chains. It was the signature Selects

417
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 10: brand by the groceryore chain brand.

418
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, sometimes sometimes they don't miss they understand our

419
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: simple palettes that were little babies who just want to

420
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: drink and have yogurt all day. All right, well, we're

421
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: gonna take a break. We're going to come back and

422
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: we're going to get into some just hard hitting those

423
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: like just Trump have syphilis right after this and we're back.

424
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: And people might have seen the news story where the

425
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: a door blew off an Alaska Airlines flight.

426
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I caught that.

427
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: You might have noticed that, Yeah, as you are flying

428
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: around the world. Yeah, but United Airlines was trending go

429
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: over the weekend because they found loose bolts on an

430
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: undisclosed number of their seven thirty sevens.

431
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: There was just that.

432
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: The most hopeful I've been that something's going to happen

433
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: here is Anthony Blincoln's trip from Davos had to be

434
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: delayed because of a Boeing plane fucking up, So maybe

435
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: something will actually get done, but probably you hate to

436
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: see it, you know, I like, I'm okay with those

437
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: people on the Alaska Airlines flight, but a great man

438
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: like blinking at Davosh like, I just hate the idea

439
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: of him.

440
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: Being inconvenicing any sort of in any way. Yes, yeah,

441
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: exactly what serious man does so much. Totally agree, we're

442
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: totally aligned.

443
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: So first of all, just when you're releasing a report

444
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: of loose bolts on a undisclosed number of seven thirty sevens,

445
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: my request would be that that number be more how

446
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: you say, disclosed? Maybe, but Twitter did its thing and

447
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: tried to tie the failure of these or these loose

448
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: bolts to United Airlines having a DEI program and being like,

449
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, look at the woke United Airlines CEO.

450
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: He says he values DEI. That's why this has happened.

451
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: Makes the bolts blow up, keeping over skipping over the

452
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: very clear culprit of Boeing, the manufacturer of these airlines,

453
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: who have used their massive size and you know, just

454
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: massive power military government relationships to evade regulations in a

455
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: way that is putting all of us at risk constantly.

456
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: There's a great article on a democracy. Now there's a

457
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: Politico article. Oh, that one's about the Anthony blinkoln thing,

458
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: But the democracy now one covers like just the history

459
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: of Boeing rushing to update these seven thirty seven MAC

460
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: series to compete with Airbus, the European Consortium and everything.

461
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: Like the guy who was in charge of like one

462
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: of the heads there at the time was like everything

463
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: was being rushed. We had a shortage of skilled employees,

464
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: we were having all kinds of issues with quality problems.

465
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: There's just incredible schedule pressure. There's a saying in the

466
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: factory they call it schedule list King Cool. And then

467
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: so that guy, in response to two fatal crashes that

468
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: happened as a result of this thing, that he was like, guys,

469
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: this is gonna fucking kill somebody, like if we just

470
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: go forward with it. And because there's no regulations in place,

471
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: because Boeing is so powerful and had lobbied and people died,

472
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: he left and started the Foundation for Aviation Safety and

473
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: is now saying like this incident with Alaska, I'm sure

474
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: is shocking to passengers, but for those of us who

475
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: have been watching this for a while, it's really not

476
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: a surprise at all. We've seen ever since the MAX

477
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: has been put back in service, over twenty serious production

478
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: quality defects that have surfaced and the public is unaware.

479
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, like Boeing was criminally charged in the wake

480
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: of the two seven thirty seven Max eight crashes, but

481
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: just like negotiated a deferred prosecution agreement. But it's just

482
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: this is what we've got, Like the system doesn't even

483
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: really try to work. It's like not doing any of

484
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: the things that would effectively like protect consumers. But it's

485
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, these companies are so big and powerful that

486
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: there's there's just like nothing that can be done at

487
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: this point, or nothing is being done.

488
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: It's just like it's just one that like this along

489
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: with so many other stories in our country or just

490
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 2: these perfect examples of like regulatory capture. You know, like

491
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: we're corporate interest groups they lobbed, like whether that's through

492
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 2: lobbying or just like the revolving door of like a

493
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 2: capitol hill, like to the point where these interest groups

494
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 2: they end up being the ones regulating the regulators. And

495
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: like with Boeing, basically like the FAA was like, Yo,

496
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: we have people that we need to inspect it. They're like, yo, bro,

497
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: what if you actually just ordained our own employees to

498
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: do the inspections that you're supposed to do, and we'll

499
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: let you know if we find anything like you know,

500
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 2: on the like that might not be you know, might

501
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: be not on the level. And they're like, yeah, sure,

502
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: go ahead. So it's like Boeing that did their own

503
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 2: inspections on these planes too, and then just told just

504
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 2: gave the FAA their report to be like all right,

505
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: and that's what we're saying, So that's good enough, right,

506
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: rather than having you come in as an independent body

507
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: to look at like the products that we're making. And

508
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: so yeah, it's like the same thing with how like

509
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: the opioid crisis ended up up, same thing with how

510
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 2: like just you know, our like the SEC and our

511
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: subprime mortgage crisis ended up. Like there's just so many

512
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: examples of these things where the industry ends up being

513
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: the one that makes the rules and then we somehow

514
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: just like quite literally go into crash into disaster.

515
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, this also goes back to Ronald Regan, doesn't it.

516
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 6: Everything goes back to these deregulatory practices and the pro

517
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 6: business stuff. But yeah, it is interesting, like once you

518
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 6: start learning too, about how the lobbying groups will literally

519
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 6: write the laws that they want pass to regulate their

520
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 6: own industries, and very often you'll find they're supposed to

521
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 6: be sample bills, right, these are supposed to be sample

522
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 6: language bills, and then you built, yeah, when you compare

523
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 6: the language exactly, you're like, this wasn't even a sample.

524
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 6: Somebody just got paid to sign this basically, and it is.

525
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 6: It's really really appalling. It is something that happens, I

526
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 6: think in like every era of business, area of business

527
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 6: in the United States now. And this is why when

528
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 6: I'm googling things like Ronald Reagan FBI files and like,

529
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 6: if only the FBI had not told Ronald Reagan about

530
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 6: a really cool party he wasn't invited to, maybe we

531
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 6: would have more regulatory standards from business in this country.

532
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 9: It's really appalling.

533
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 2: And maybe listen to the things his parents are trying

534
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 2: to teach him, you know what I mean, and be

535
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 2: more in line with that, because like, forgive me if

536
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm mistake, but I thought like his parents were like

537
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: sort of like had almost antithetical sort of beliefs of

538
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: philosophically totally correct.

539
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 6: His parents were FDR new deal kind of Democrats, but

540
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 6: not just regular Democrats. They're like kind of what we

541
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 6: would think of as DSA today. They were very much

542
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 6: in favor of government spending. His dad, you know, was

543
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 6: an alcoholic who struggled to hold down a job. The

544
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 6: job he eventually did hold down was a New Deal job,

545
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 6: Like his dad was employed because of you know, government spending.

546
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 6: And this is something that we see like throughout his life,

547
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 6: even as he's performing to the political right and doing

548
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 6: all of these things that would be the complete opposite

549
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 6: of anything his parents had fought for. When you asked

550
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 6: him personally, like, well, how did you feel about the

551
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 6: New Deal, He's like, well, the New Deal gave my

552
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 6: dad a job, so I loved it, right, And it's

553
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 6: just like this real conflicting kind of viewpoint inside him.

554
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: Poor Ronald Poor that far Well, that's I'm just I'm

555
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: an EmPATH, you know, And that's yeah. There's a great

556
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: book called tear Down. Yeah, oh exactly right. Yeah, but

557
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: there's a book about Reagan called tear Down. This myth

558
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: that was like sort of my entry point into really

559
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: like examining the the the real mythology of Ronald Reagan,

560
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: because like growing up you're always like, oh man, everything's

561
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: like named after him. It's like it's because all these

562
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: fucking people got so rich off of him. They're like,

563
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: watch this, dude, I'm shout out to Ronnie for taking

564
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: away all the fucking guardrails that were there that just

565
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: made me a hyper billionaire. Mister Gorbachev, tear up this ass.

566
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you should have said that.

567
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 9: No, you shouldn't apologize for that.

568
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: Honestly, that was no, it was the other one was

569
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: tear off My balls was the other one.

570
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: I think tear off, tear off my two all time

571
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: great tweets that I can't source at the moment.

572
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 6: But now I just think of Ronald Regan kind of

573
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: as like a general punk rock icon because you know,

574
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 6: like what other way, Like I was born in the eighties,

575
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 6: Like I know so much about Ronald Regan mostly because

576
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 6: of punk songs from like nineteen eighty five, you know.

577
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 6: But then yeah, when you think into it, you're like, actually,

578
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 6: this is all still so so relevant to our life

579
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 6: because the eighties really started that trend towards massive deregulation,

580
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 6: and he was part of that movement of like the

581
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 6: New Right, and the New Right was even different than

582
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 6: what the right wing had been before the nineteen fifties

583
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 6: and sixties, and it really coalesced with him in a

584
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 6: lot of ways.

585
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 9: And so, yeah, when you.

586
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 6: Talk about things like Boeing's door flying off mid flight

587
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 6: or like the loose bolts, you think that these things

588
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 6: are just And that's the thing, like we do as consumers, right,

589
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 6: we think these are individual incidents, but like our brains

590
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 6: are also trained for pattern recognition, and it's hard to

591
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 6: miss the pattern that these things are increasing in rapidity.

592
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 6: We see them happening across like multiple different sectors, and

593
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 6: all of it does tie back to. Yeah, this massive

594
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 6: period in the eighties of deregulation that allowed businesses to

595
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 6: kind of start running the country as an oligarchy.

596
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: A lot of lambos are bought though at.

597
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 9: They have so many lambos.

598
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 6: The Lambeau guys are hurting us all and the Boeing

599
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 6: guys are lambo guys too.

600
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to let the lambo radicalize us, you

601
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Swap out Ronald Reagan and now

602
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: we will hold up the Lamborghini Hurrican as our way,

603
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: our entry point into radicalization. Let that be a lesson

604
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: for all the for the youth.

605
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 6: I feel like, one day there's just going to be

606
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 6: a Lamborghini on our money. It's just gonna be like

607
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 6: we're gonna be like praying to the God and the Lambo.

608
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 6: That's what's going to be on the money. There's gonna

609
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 6: be like sixteen apartment buildings just like in a cube

610
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: around the Lamborghini, like the same way we have like

611
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: the pyramid with the eye now and it's like, this

612
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 6: is this is our new religion in the state underneath.

613
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: It's like, Dad, what does this say? It's like it's Latin.

614
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: I don't know to read it out to me. E

615
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: pluribus lambeau. Oh yeah, yeah, that means of many lambeau.

616
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: That's right.

617
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and come back

618
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about Ted cruz.

619
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: Man. We're back. And after I made that New Order

620
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: joke by about Blue Monday, I was like, what was

621
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: that band like in the late nineties or odds that

622
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: covered it and kind of brought the song back, And

623
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: my younger esteemed guests were like, a, sir, are you

624
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: talking about de banking again? What's on your hands? And

625
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it was this band they brought the

626
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: whole wave back. It was Orgy And shout out to

627
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: my geriatric millennials and older who remember when Orgy brought

628
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: the Blue Monday song or blue New Damn New Order

629
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: song Blue Monday back. All that to say, we need

630
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: to talk about blue Monday, the capitalist hoax that continues

631
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: to persist. I wasn't fully aware of this as a concept.

632
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: Did you guys know about blue Monday at all? Alex?

633
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: What about you?

634
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 11: I've heard that phrase, but I think it's mostly because

635
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 11: of Kurt Bonnegut's writing. He's referencing like an advertising concept

636
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 11: for washing machines. Right, you can beat blue Monday by

637
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 11: having easier laundry to do in like the nineteen fifties.

638
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: Ah well, again along that similar vein. Apparently, like this

639
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: is something that's really big in like you're mostly the

640
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: UK and in Canada as well, they've heard tell of

641
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: blue Monday. But apparently it is the third Monday in

642
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: January and it is known as quote, the most depressing

643
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: day of the year. And I'm like, what does that

644
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: exactly mean? Like, here's headlines from the Standard in the

645
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 2: UK Blue Monday twenty twenty four. When is blue Monday?

646
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: And how to beat it. Another headline, it's officially the

647
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: most depressing day of the year. An expert offers some

648
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: tips to lift the gloom on Blue Monday. Blue Monday

649
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: is coming up. Are you prepared for the most depressing

650
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: day of the year. So we had it. I didn't

651
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: realize it was the most I guess that MLKA day

652
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: for us was Blue Monday. Yes, get him out of here.

653
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: I know, because I'm surprised. There wasn't like, oh coincidence

654
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: much that Blue Monday is also Martin Luther King Day,

655
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: the most depressing day for white people. Right, So they're saying,

656
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: are you prepared? I'm like, okay, so what is going

657
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: on now? Some of these outlets do admit that there

658
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: is no actual scientific evidence to back up this premise,

659
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: this concept of blue Monday, but also not all of

660
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: them call out the fact that Blue Monday is just

661
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: a straight up scam. You're getting bamboozled. The culprit, perhaps

662
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: is late stage capitalism. This pseudo scientific reasoning why behind

663
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: why quote blue Monday is so depressing involves like this

664
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: actual I mean actual, I only say that because there

665
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: are like equations, like it looks like a math equation,

666
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: a legit looking mathematical equation which equates things like debt, motivation, weather,

667
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: and the time that's elapsed since Christmas as a way

668
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: to determine that, like to quantify that this is the

669
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 2: most depressing day. But anyone, anyone who like looks at

670
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: this for like one moment, you'll realize, like, how the

671
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 2: fuck can you even compute this? Because there aren't even

672
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 2: like shared units of measurement, Like how do you compare

673
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: It's like saying, Okay, a large pizza times a GDP

674
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: of Brazil equals that Mickey Rooney is actually Billie Eilish's grandfather.

675
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, and you're likeymmetric sads or imperial sads. I can't

676
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 11: figure right.

677
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: How do we measure the depress and whose unit are

678
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: we using? And I guess the inventor of this equation

679
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 2: was a guy named doctor Cliff Arnall who was hired

680
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 2: by a fucking travel company, Skytravel they're defunct now, back

681
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: in two thousand and five to basically just contribute to

682
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: a press release. And they wanted to sell people on

683
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: the idea that there is a most depressing day of

684
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: the year, which would then inspire the consumer to consume

685
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 2: and to book a vacation thanks to sky Travel bringing

686
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: this all to light, and he kind of has like

687
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 2: some credibility to back up these claims. He's like, yeah, well,

688
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: you know, I was a Cardiff University psychologist. But then

689
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: pretty quickly the Cardiff University was like, no, this dude

690
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: was a quote former part time tutor. Like let's not

691
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 2: get this like fucked up. Like he was not, That's

692
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 2: not what he was doing. And he later tried to

693
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: walk back this great cultural myth that he created by

694
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 2: saying it was never his quote intention to make January

695
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: even worse for people, and and he even admitted the

696
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: idea of Blue Monday was not particularly helpful. But guess what.

697
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: That fucking apology was part of another commercial campaign for

698
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: a travel company, Virgin Atlantic. Please keep fucking with this guy.

699
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: They said the campaign will encourage the nation to dispel

700
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 2: their Blue Monday beliefs and instead embrace the new possibilities.

701
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 2: Then another year can hold possibilities like traveling to Thailand

702
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: or Vietnam or South America. It's just like one of those. Really,

703
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: it's just super cynical when you're just like kind of

704
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 2: like using this idea that yeah, winter's hard for people

705
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: coming out of the holidays. It's hard for people having

706
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: resolutions and like trying to stick to those can lead

707
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: to people being demotivated. But then to be like, damn,

708
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: book your package holiday with us? Why check out mark

709
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: Bella Spain. It's absolutely popping. And the time. He also

710
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: he supposedly cracked the formula for the happiest day of

711
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: the year. He said, oh yeah, I'm doing that now.

712
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: Because he pivoted to saying he was a freelance happiness guru,

713
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: which sounds like me when I was just like dating

714
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of people in smoking weeds in my twenties.

715
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'm like a whoa, what do I do?

716
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: I'm like a freelance happiness.

717
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 10: It's like a vibes curator.

718
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly, But and for some reason I kind

719
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: of respect a vibes more than a freelance. I think

720
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: it's just the wording. Is this more with our times? Yeah,

721
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: guru's bad? Guru bad? Overall? We have too many gus,

722
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: especially on social media.

723
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, vibes curator, you can say you're a VC.

724
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 2: That's kind of nice.

725
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: Wow.

726
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah we should be see are you are? You

727
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: a vibe curator, do you.

728
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 10: I like to think so absolutely, I definitely do curate vibes.

729
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I think the same way if I'm having

730
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 2: you know, like a like a gathering, or somebody's like being.

731
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 7: Like, oh, like I want to have like a dinner,

732
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 7: I'm like, okay, what do you like? What are you thinking?

733
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 7: Like you don't have a spread? Is it going to

734
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 7: be like a spread? You want to bounty for people?

735
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 7: Do people bring in their own thing?

736
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: Do you want to just have it so your guests

737
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: are like blown away by hospitality? Is it a group effort?

738
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: I feel it could be me overthinking. Maybe that's a

739
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: vibe curator a.

740
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 10: Little bit, you know, a little type a, a little overthinking.

741
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: But nobody I like that though, I also like to

742
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: host like that, so I feel it. Yeah, I mean

00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: nothing that blows me more away than somebody who's like

746
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 2: you thought of.

747
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 7: All these other things just to put out here for

748
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,720

Speaker 13: all right, I'm just making sure, just making sure.

758
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 2: Are you a vibe curator? Would you do you see

759
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: yourself as a vibe curator? Alex?

760
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 11: I think maybe, I don't know if I aspire to it.

761
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 11: I think I try to participate, you know, but I'm

762
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 11: not a big spread builder. I'm more of a spread

763
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 11: supporter or like, oh, good job, keep it up.

764
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. That's you. But that is good.

765
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 2: You are contributing to the vibes in a positive way, ye,

766
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 2: so vibe Yeah yeah yeah, vibes contributor. These are all contribute,

767
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: consume or be a connoisseur or a curator. Either way,

768
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: you do, you do what you gotta do. But yeah,

769
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 2: the reason why, like Blue Monday, it just like sticks

770
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: around like apparently all like in so much marketing, people

771
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: are still using it as like a fucking being like hey, man,

772
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 2: like you want to buy a fucking big mac by

773
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 2: get the fucking Vibe meal and shit, or I think

774
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: a Burger king that a vibe meal anyway, But it

775
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: seems like the com might be working because last year

776
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: in the United Kingdom, online sales are reportedly shot up

777
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: by eighteen percent on Blue Monday because of all this

778
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: shit like oh yeah, like like it's wild how you

779
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,360
