Speaker 2: Right, Well that's why, Hey, that's what you gotta watch
Speaker 2: Jane's YouTube channel where you learn all the secrets to

Speaker 4: I did make a TikTok video where it was like
Speaker 4: my elden Ring guide for today, and it's like today's
Speaker 4: guide is coming out to your parents.
Speaker 1: Carmen Janey, we do like to ask our guests, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history?
Speaker 5: Well, the thing that's actually at the top of my
Speaker 5: search history is my own name book. That's embarrassing, so
Speaker 5: we're gonna step I was googling myself to find my
Speaker 5: look book from when I was sixteen, by the way,
Speaker 5: and I couldn't find it because I think the look
Speaker 5: book is no longer around, but if anyone finds it,
Speaker 5: let me know. And okay, the other thing I actually have.
Speaker 5: I was watching Escape from LA last night. So of course,
Speaker 5: when you watch a movie, you google the movie you're
Speaker 5: watching so that you read about it the whole time
Speaker 5: you're watching it. And it sucks. That movie fuck is horrible.
Speaker 2: It's terrible. It's so bad. I love Escape from New York.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, Escape from New York rules.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I loved it. So I was like, I was like,
Speaker 5: my boyfriend is like dying from like the flu or
Speaker 5: something under like nine hundred blankets. So I was like, well,
Speaker 5: I can't find Escape from New York for free, so
Speaker 5: let's watch Escape from LA.
Speaker 1: And it feels like a fever dream where you're dying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and it really was. I felt like the
Speaker 5: daughter in the electric chair at the end, the.
Speaker 3: Scene when he's surfing is so sick.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. It wasn't like through the La River.
Speaker 1: I saw that ship in theater, like because of the
Speaker 1: because of the surfing on the La River, Like I
Speaker 1: think that was in the trailer, and I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: please what it was like the trailer promised Escape from
Speaker 1: New York crossed with like teenage mutant Ninja turtles too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just like over the top cartooning fun and
Speaker 1: it was just yeah, it.
Speaker 5: Didn't unfortunately, that was the best part of the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by far. I just remember. I still like, I
Speaker 2: haven't seen the movie in years, but I do remember
Speaker 2: that one of the last lines is right because Snake
Speaker 2: Plisken just dead's all the technology on Earth, and I
Speaker 2: think she goes he turned off the world.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: On my mind, I was like, yo' shit, that was
Speaker 2: twelve when that movie came out. I was in ninety
Speaker 2: six or something.
Speaker 7: I was like, yo, bro, he fucking turned off the
Speaker 7: fucking world.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, never come back.
Speaker 1: All of these are ideas that could be in a
Speaker 1: good movie. Something about the movie.
Speaker 4: That's also how they Live and basically like he just
Speaker 4: like explodes the like system. That's like like.
Speaker 3: He basically turns off his.
Speaker 5: I have not seen They Live.
Speaker 4: They Live is a lot better Wow. The first off
Speaker 4: of They Live is like amazing, this is so good.
Speaker 2: It's wild to look at the soundtrack, like the acts
Speaker 2: that are on the soundtrack, like these kind of makes sense.
Speaker 2: Tool White song. Yeah, it's like he Kills Ministry, sex Pod,
Speaker 2: Death Tones, Torri Amos.
Speaker 3: Trent Reznor's girlfriends in the nineties. If I'm not mistake.
Speaker 1: Oh really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh ship, dude, I love what's what girl?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, it's professional Widow is the Toris track? Okay,
Speaker 2: that is amazing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It was on that judgment night Ship
Speaker 1: where it was like Tory Yamos but like with some
Speaker 1: fucking heavy metal guitars. Maybe.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, can I talk about the craziest part of
Speaker 5: the movie is Pam Greer plays a trance woman.
Speaker 2: Remember, oh my god.
Speaker 5: I was like, that's when I started getting annoyed with
Speaker 5: the movie because they like had her voice. They had
Speaker 5: Pam Grew's voice like under like some sort of like
Speaker 5: a girlfriend from Yes, like under some sort of filter,
Speaker 5: And I'm like, wow, Pam Greer looks stunning, but oh
Speaker 5: my god, like did they have to put that voice
Speaker 5: filter on her?
Speaker 2: They're like, no, that ain't that's car Jack Malone Carjack
Speaker 2: Malone Jack car Jack Malone character. Wow, Yes, and now
Speaker 2: that's her she lost Palmus.
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly, and I was like, what the fuck a
Speaker 5: black guss name name is that?
Speaker 2: Dude?
Speaker 5: I was not prepared for a trans character in this
Speaker 5: in this horrible.
Speaker 1: Movie done dirty like that right, Janie was something premier
Speaker 1: search history.
Speaker 2: Ship, dude.
Speaker 3: I got like, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't have anything as spicy as last time. I
Speaker 4: got an English Spanish translator pizza near me. I was
Speaker 4: looking at what the standard time was.
Speaker 5: I found Jamie texts me today at eleven thirty while
Speaker 5: I'm at my laser appointment. She's like, I'm here, what's
Speaker 5: going on where? I'm like, it's eleven thirty pst.
Speaker 2: Jamie, Okay, so what.
Speaker 3: More context?
Speaker 1: Come on?
Speaker 4: I don't know the whole Also, uh yeah, I found
Speaker 4: a white pill on the ground at my parents house.
Speaker 3: I was trying to see what drink hides your coat on.
Speaker 2: It was oh yeah, just the mystery pill was for
Speaker 2: Google Yah history pill.
Speaker 4: Googling a lot of elden Ring ty. I'm playing elden
Speaker 4: Ring again. I'm sure to do some of the quests
Speaker 4: I didn't do last time. A lot of that. Do
Speaker 4: dragons take bleed damage? That's they do?
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: There, I guess one interesting thing was I've been I
Speaker 4: started watching the show The Curse on Showtime, the new
Speaker 4: Nathan Fielders Show, and I told my boyfriend that it's
Speaker 4: like improvised like that, It's like it's got like it's
Speaker 4: like Kurby Your Enthusiasm, where like there's a script, but
Speaker 4: like all the dialogues improvised, and he's like, no, the
Speaker 4: fuck it's not. And I was like, no, I swear
Speaker 4: I read.
Speaker 8: It somewhere, and I was trying to find where I
Speaker 8: read it, and I think I made it up and
Speaker 8: I can't really confirm if I actually read if I
Speaker 8: actually did read that somewhere or.
Speaker 2: Not on this show? Is that yeah, just off the
Speaker 2: strength of my male confidence, yeah, right, straight up?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then I like occasionally I humble myself to like
Speaker 2: my partner, I'd be like, yo, okay, so I was
Speaker 2: so fucking wrong about this earlier, like you were right
Speaker 2: by even questioning it because even though you didn't look
Speaker 2: for it, I tried to find the evidence and I
Speaker 2: could not find it. So that was in my head.
Speaker 4: I'm like, actually like crazy, so like I really can't.
Speaker 4: I don't feel like I should apologize because I did.
Speaker 4: It's very possible I did read that in my mind
Speaker 4: palace somewhere right right right, yeah, yeah, mixed up in
Speaker 4: the mind power. I'm not lying, and I'm also not wrong.
Speaker 4: Even if I gave wrong information, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Oh. I like that. And this is something Trump is
Speaker 2: doing in court right now.
Speaker 1: And as your lawyer, Jenny, I would I would just
Speaker 1: ask the advice that you continue along that path. Do
Speaker 1: not admit anything, no matter what.
Speaker 2: What's something you think is overrated.
Speaker 6: Okay, this is like pertaining to my book a little bit,
Speaker 6: but you know, like how people are. People will do
Speaker 6: this thing where they're like, yeah, I'm getting good with money.
Speaker 6: I've been doing some investing, and then it's just like
Speaker 6: the Rominhood app or something like.
Speaker 2: That, right right.
Speaker 6: You know, it's like these apps where you like buy
Speaker 6: small amounts of single stock. And I hate these freaking
Speaker 6: apps so much because I think like it almost perpetuates
Speaker 6: that kind of rich dad, poor dad, like girl Boss energy,
Speaker 6: where it's like you don't nobody actually takes the time
Speaker 6: to teach you. It's like maybe a lower middle class
Speaker 6: like actual like person financial literacy tools that.
Speaker 9: Could help you.
Speaker 6: Instead, it's like, well, just you know, you know, investing
Speaker 6: in stock is good, so just download this app, or
Speaker 6: you invest a few dollars in these single stocks, and
Speaker 6: you're not getting like the value of diversification. You're not
Speaker 6: investing in index funds or mutual funds. You're not doing
Speaker 6: those things are actually good for lower income people, but
Speaker 6: it makes people feel like they're financially responsible, so then
Speaker 6: they like never pursue the next step, like they never
Speaker 6: actually look into what they should be doing that would
Speaker 6: be benefiting them more long term. Right, So I feel
Speaker 6: like there's almost like a pop finance thing going on
Speaker 6: in the world. Like we have pop psychology, you know,
Speaker 6: we also have like pop finance, and I think that's
Speaker 6: kind of the same thing that goes along with like
Speaker 6: the rich dead porta thing, the single stock investment apps
Speaker 6: on your phone, you know, all of these kinds of things. Also,
Speaker 6: like the apps where they help you find your subscriptions
Speaker 6: and cancel your subscriptions, like, don't get me wrong, that
Speaker 6: can be really really useful. But showing people these apps,
Speaker 6: especially in like advertising and saying like, well, you're broke
Speaker 6: because you're actually paying eight dollars a month more for
Speaker 6: one subscription service you forgot about.
Speaker 9: Is just like so insulting to me.
Speaker 6: It's like beyond the pale, and like people aren't broke
Speaker 6: because they forgot one eight dollars subscription service.
Speaker 9: Like great, yeah, you have an app that does that.
Speaker 9: That's so cool.
Speaker 6: But this whole world of pop finance kind of like
Speaker 6: in my head, does the personal accountability thing and totally
Speaker 6: denies all of the systemic, structural issues that actually affect
Speaker 6: people's real life and how they interact with money.
Speaker 2: Right right, Avocado toast.
Speaker 6: Right exactly, it's like more manifestations of that same idea.
Speaker 9: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, ever since I stopped eating avocado toast,
Speaker 2: my credit score has gone up.
Speaker 1: It's it was the main problem in my life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I should admit how much avocado toast I was
Speaker 1: eating up front. It was a problem both for my
Speaker 1: health financially and physically, and for the local economy. I
Speaker 1: was told R two I was closing the entire cafes.
Speaker 2: There's always some version of like being like, yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a problem with like sort of X industry or like
Speaker 2: societal threat or some existential threat we have. It's like,
Speaker 2: but the solution isn't to interrogate the like their lack
Speaker 2: of regulations or the greed that got us here. It's
Speaker 2: actually that you should buy this kind of straw and
Speaker 2: then that's the solution. And then we complete, Like most
Speaker 2: people are just like, oh, thank god, I've been offered
Speaker 2: this consumer solution to a problem. I'm just feeding the machine.
Speaker 6: That goes back to the Ronald Reagan thing too, where
Speaker 6: he was like the king of deregulation and when we
Speaker 6: talk about like a lot of what's happening financially in
Speaker 6: the world, but also like socially in terms of that
Speaker 6: kind of like peak liberalization of the economy where you're like, well,
Speaker 6: the government's not going to do anything, and we're going
Speaker 6: to have these private companies come in and they're going
Speaker 6: to solve all these problems, even if they're problems that
Speaker 6: aren't actually the main issues we should be addressing, and
Speaker 6: they are. They're going to offer you consumption based solutions
Speaker 6: that it's and it puts everything on the consumer, this
Speaker 6: like personal accountability thing, and it does we become these
Speaker 6: pop culture kind of consumers of ideology as well. So
Speaker 6: it's like, okay, when you consume a special kind of straw.
Speaker 6: You're also consuming a special kind of ideology that goes
Speaker 6: along with that. And that's where we see like our
Speaker 6: social and political issues overlap with like capitalism, just like
Speaker 6: people trying to sell you things all day long, and
Speaker 6: I think people get fatigued from that without even realizing
Speaker 6: that that's what's affecting them.
Speaker 2: So at firstly right, and let me guess before we
Speaker 2: get your underrated I want to guess what it's going
Speaker 2: to be. The Stanley. The Stanley mugs.
Speaker 1: So fucking dope that there's such a good investment they
Speaker 1: hold their value.
Speaker 2: No, okay, I.
Speaker 9: Like you, I'm a humble person on the internet.
Speaker 6: I saw the video where that chick's car caught on
Speaker 6: fire and her cup still had ice in it.
Speaker 9: I like you thought, now that's a cup, that's a cup.
Speaker 9: It's an impressive cut.
Speaker 2: I love that video though, Like she opens the door
Speaker 2: and it's clearly frozen outside of the car too, and
Speaker 2: it's like, it's not like you left it in the
Speaker 2: desert for fucking three weeks. You left it in a
Speaker 2: refrigerator for a few days, and of course there's still
Speaker 2: ice in it. But yeah, the height, what is something
Speaker 2: you think is under rated.
Speaker 10: We're gonna stick with the ice cream theme here, or
Speaker 10: a frozen yoguran de general, a simple tart flavored frozen
Speaker 10: yogurt or a plane vanilla ice cream is so superior.
Speaker 2: And if you have.
Speaker 10: Those done well, you don't need all the bells and
Speaker 10: whistles that everybody's doing right now.
Speaker 2: Yep, who's your what's your who's your favorite tart, frozen
Speaker 2: yogurt or ice cream?
Speaker 10: You know what, I'm pretty indifferent. I can get it
Speaker 10: from Yogurtland. I could do tooty Fruity, I could do
Speaker 10: pink Berry. I could do pretty much anything with a
Speaker 10: tart frozen yogurt. I haven't seen that messed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's good, becaus got that little yogurty bite to it,
Speaker 2: just a little, a little pucker. Yeah it's good. It
Speaker 2: reminds you like when I could, like my mom wouldn't
Speaker 2: buy me like snack pack or like chocolate pudding at
Speaker 2: the storage.
Speaker 7: Like you should be yogurt And I'm like, there's no
Speaker 7: fucker sugar in here.
Speaker 2: But I'll but like that's all I could get down on.
Speaker 2: So once. I remember when pink Berry came out, I
Speaker 2: was like again, I'll just eat this. Yep, no topics.
Speaker 10: You're like, if you put regular yogurt in the freezer,
Speaker 10: is it frozen yogurt? Or is there something special about
Speaker 10: frozen yoga? Is it not just yogurt?
Speaker 2: What is it? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they make it.
Speaker 11: I'm realizing this. It's always just been a ministry except
Speaker 11: and I pulled the handle right, It's probably good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex, are you a topping guy? Are you a
Speaker 2: simple pleasures guy? Because I know obviously you don't like
Speaker 2: your popcorn simple? Do you like yogurt? Simple?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 11: I think I'm very excited that I'm finding all three
Speaker 11: of us are so on the team of simple dessert
Speaker 11: and like, make dessert just one thing. When you're having dessert,
Speaker 11: just do it well, like even the how like winter
Speaker 11: always reminds me that I don't like eggnog very much
Speaker 11: because I don't need dessert to also be alcohol Like
Speaker 11: I can just have alcohol.
Speaker 2: The flavor fucking goes.
Speaker 10: I don't even put alcohol mine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the flavor go I will eat the ice cream.
Speaker 11: We were doing so fucking well missus this year.
Speaker 10: This past year, I found a ice cream sandwich that
Speaker 10: had eggnog in the middle. It was an eggnog ice
Speaker 10: cream sandwich.
Speaker 2: But no, sounds pretty good. Where was that at?
Speaker 10: It was at uh like Roups or Bonds, one of
Speaker 10: those main grocery store chains. It was the signature Selects
Speaker 10: brand by the groceryore chain brand.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, sometimes sometimes they don't miss they understand our
Speaker 2: simple palettes that were little babies who just want to
Speaker 2: drink and have yogurt all day. All right, well, we're
Speaker 2: gonna take a break. We're going to come back and
Speaker 2: we're going to get into some just hard hitting those
Speaker 2: like just Trump have syphilis right after this and we're back.
Speaker 1: And people might have seen the news story where the
Speaker 1: a door blew off an Alaska Airlines flight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I caught that.
Speaker 1: You might have noticed that, Yeah, as you are flying
Speaker 1: around the world. Yeah, but United Airlines was trending go
Speaker 1: over the weekend because they found loose bolts on an
Speaker 1: undisclosed number of their seven thirty sevens.
Speaker 2: There was just that.
Speaker 1: The most hopeful I've been that something's going to happen
Speaker 1: here is Anthony Blincoln's trip from Davos had to be
Speaker 1: delayed because of a Boeing plane fucking up, So maybe
Speaker 1: something will actually get done, but probably you hate to
Speaker 1: see it, you know, I like, I'm okay with those
Speaker 1: people on the Alaska Airlines flight, but a great man
Speaker 1: like blinking at Davosh like, I just hate the idea
Speaker 1: of him.
Speaker 2: Being inconvenicing any sort of in any way. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: exactly what serious man does so much. Totally agree, we're
Speaker 2: totally aligned.
Speaker 1: So first of all, just when you're releasing a report
Speaker 1: of loose bolts on a undisclosed number of seven thirty sevens,
Speaker 1: my request would be that that number be more how
Speaker 1: you say, disclosed? Maybe, but Twitter did its thing and
Speaker 1: tried to tie the failure of these or these loose
Speaker 1: bolts to United Airlines having a DEI program and being like,
Speaker 1: you know, look at the woke United Airlines CEO.
Speaker 2: He says he values DEI. That's why this has happened.
Speaker 1: Makes the bolts blow up, keeping over skipping over the
Speaker 1: very clear culprit of Boeing, the manufacturer of these airlines,
Speaker 1: who have used their massive size and you know, just
Speaker 1: massive power military government relationships to evade regulations in a
Speaker 1: way that is putting all of us at risk constantly.
Speaker 1: There's a great article on a democracy. Now there's a
Speaker 1: Politico article. Oh, that one's about the Anthony blinkoln thing,
Speaker 1: But the democracy now one covers like just the history
Speaker 1: of Boeing rushing to update these seven thirty seven MAC
Speaker 1: series to compete with Airbus, the European Consortium and everything.
Speaker 1: Like the guy who was in charge of like one
Speaker 1: of the heads there at the time was like everything
Speaker 1: was being rushed. We had a shortage of skilled employees,
Speaker 1: we were having all kinds of issues with quality problems.
Speaker 1: There's just incredible schedule pressure. There's a saying in the
Speaker 1: factory they call it schedule list King Cool. And then
Speaker 1: so that guy, in response to two fatal crashes that
Speaker 1: happened as a result of this thing, that he was like, guys,
Speaker 1: this is gonna fucking kill somebody, like if we just
Speaker 1: go forward with it. And because there's no regulations in place,
Speaker 1: because Boeing is so powerful and had lobbied and people died,
Speaker 1: he left and started the Foundation for Aviation Safety and
Speaker 1: is now saying like this incident with Alaska, I'm sure
Speaker 1: is shocking to passengers, but for those of us who
Speaker 1: have been watching this for a while, it's really not
Speaker 1: a surprise at all. We've seen ever since the MAX
Speaker 1: has been put back in service, over twenty serious production
Speaker 1: quality defects that have surfaced and the public is unaware.
Speaker 1: And yeah, like Boeing was criminally charged in the wake
Speaker 1: of the two seven thirty seven Max eight crashes, but
Speaker 1: just like negotiated a deferred prosecution agreement. But it's just
Speaker 1: this is what we've got, Like the system doesn't even
Speaker 1: really try to work. It's like not doing any of
Speaker 1: the things that would effectively like protect consumers. But it's
Speaker 1: you know, these companies are so big and powerful that
Speaker 1: there's there's just like nothing that can be done at
Speaker 1: this point, or nothing is being done.
Speaker 2: It's just like it's just one that like this along
Speaker 2: with so many other stories in our country or just
Speaker 2: these perfect examples of like regulatory capture. You know, like
Speaker 2: we're corporate interest groups they lobbed, like whether that's through
Speaker 2: lobbying or just like the revolving door of like a
Speaker 2: capitol hill, like to the point where these interest groups
Speaker 2: they end up being the ones regulating the regulators. And
Speaker 2: like with Boeing, basically like the FAA was like, Yo,
Speaker 2: we have people that we need to inspect it. They're like, yo, bro,
Speaker 2: what if you actually just ordained our own employees to
Speaker 2: do the inspections that you're supposed to do, and we'll
Speaker 2: let you know if we find anything like you know,
Speaker 2: on the like that might not be you know, might
Speaker 2: be not on the level. And they're like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: go ahead. So it's like Boeing that did their own
Speaker 2: inspections on these planes too, and then just told just
Speaker 2: gave the FAA their report to be like all right,
Speaker 2: and that's what we're saying, So that's good enough, right,
Speaker 2: rather than having you come in as an independent body
Speaker 2: to look at like the products that we're making. And
Speaker 2: so yeah, it's like the same thing with how like
Speaker 2: the opioid crisis ended up up, same thing with how
Speaker 2: like just you know, our like the SEC and our
Speaker 2: subprime mortgage crisis ended up. Like there's just so many
Speaker 2: examples of these things where the industry ends up being
Speaker 2: the one that makes the rules and then we somehow
Speaker 2: just like quite literally go into crash into disaster.
Speaker 9: Yeah, this also goes back to Ronald Regan, doesn't it.
Speaker 6: Everything goes back to these deregulatory practices and the pro
Speaker 6: business stuff. But yeah, it is interesting, like once you
Speaker 6: start learning too, about how the lobbying groups will literally
Speaker 6: write the laws that they want pass to regulate their
Speaker 6: own industries, and very often you'll find they're supposed to
Speaker 6: be sample bills, right, these are supposed to be sample
Speaker 6: language bills, and then you built, yeah, when you compare
Speaker 6: the language exactly, you're like, this wasn't even a sample.
Speaker 6: Somebody just got paid to sign this basically, and it is.
Speaker 6: It's really really appalling. It is something that happens, I
Speaker 6: think in like every era of business, area of business
Speaker 6: in the United States now. And this is why when
Speaker 6: I'm googling things like Ronald Reagan FBI files and like,
Speaker 6: if only the FBI had not told Ronald Reagan about
Speaker 6: a really cool party he wasn't invited to, maybe we
Speaker 6: would have more regulatory standards from business in this country.
Speaker 9: It's really appalling.
Speaker 2: And maybe listen to the things his parents are trying
Speaker 2: to teach him, you know what I mean, and be
Speaker 2: more in line with that, because like, forgive me if
Speaker 2: I'm mistake, but I thought like his parents were like
Speaker 2: sort of like had almost antithetical sort of beliefs of
Speaker 2: philosophically totally correct.
Speaker 6: His parents were FDR new deal kind of Democrats, but
Speaker 6: not just regular Democrats. They're like kind of what we
Speaker 6: would think of as DSA today. They were very much
Speaker 6: in favor of government spending. His dad, you know, was
Speaker 6: an alcoholic who struggled to hold down a job. The
Speaker 6: job he eventually did hold down was a New Deal job,
Speaker 6: Like his dad was employed because of you know, government spending.
Speaker 6: And this is something that we see like throughout his life,
Speaker 6: even as he's performing to the political right and doing
Speaker 6: all of these things that would be the complete opposite
Speaker 6: of anything his parents had fought for. When you asked
Speaker 6: him personally, like, well, how did you feel about the
Speaker 6: New Deal, He's like, well, the New Deal gave my
Speaker 6: dad a job, so I loved it, right, And it's
Speaker 6: just like this real conflicting kind of viewpoint inside him.
Speaker 2: Poor Ronald Poor that far Well, that's I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: an EmPATH, you know, And that's yeah. There's a great
Speaker 2: book called tear Down. Yeah, oh exactly right. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: there's a book about Reagan called tear Down. This myth
Speaker 2: that was like sort of my entry point into really
Speaker 2: like examining the the the real mythology of Ronald Reagan,
Speaker 2: because like growing up you're always like, oh man, everything's
Speaker 2: like named after him. It's like it's because all these
Speaker 2: fucking people got so rich off of him. They're like,
Speaker 2: watch this, dude, I'm shout out to Ronnie for taking
Speaker 2: away all the fucking guardrails that were there that just
Speaker 2: made me a hyper billionaire. Mister Gorbachev, tear up this ass.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you should have said that.
Speaker 9: No, you shouldn't apologize for that.
Speaker 2: Honestly, that was no, it was the other one was
Speaker 2: tear off My balls was the other one.
Speaker 1: I think tear off, tear off my two all time
Speaker 1: great tweets that I can't source at the moment.
Speaker 6: But now I just think of Ronald Regan kind of
Speaker 6: as like a general punk rock icon because you know,
Speaker 6: like what other way, Like I was born in the eighties,
Speaker 6: Like I know so much about Ronald Regan mostly because
Speaker 6: of punk songs from like nineteen eighty five, you know.
Speaker 6: But then yeah, when you think into it, you're like, actually,
Speaker 6: this is all still so so relevant to our life
Speaker 6: because the eighties really started that trend towards massive deregulation,
Speaker 6: and he was part of that movement of like the
Speaker 6: New Right, and the New Right was even different than
Speaker 6: what the right wing had been before the nineteen fifties
Speaker 6: and sixties, and it really coalesced with him in a
Speaker 6: lot of ways.
Speaker 9: And so, yeah, when you.
Speaker 6: Talk about things like Boeing's door flying off mid flight
Speaker 6: or like the loose bolts, you think that these things
Speaker 6: are just And that's the thing, like we do as consumers, right,
Speaker 6: we think these are individual incidents, but like our brains
Speaker 6: are also trained for pattern recognition, and it's hard to
Speaker 6: miss the pattern that these things are increasing in rapidity.
Speaker 6: We see them happening across like multiple different sectors, and
Speaker 6: all of it does tie back to. Yeah, this massive
Speaker 6: period in the eighties of deregulation that allowed businesses to
Speaker 6: kind of start running the country as an oligarchy.
Speaker 2: A lot of lambos are bought though at.
Speaker 9: They have so many lambos.
Speaker 6: The Lambeau guys are hurting us all and the Boeing
Speaker 6: guys are lambo guys too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to let the lambo radicalize us, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Swap out Ronald Reagan and now
Speaker 2: we will hold up the Lamborghini Hurrican as our way,
Speaker 2: our entry point into radicalization. Let that be a lesson
Speaker 2: for all the for the youth.
Speaker 6: I feel like, one day there's just going to be
Speaker 6: a Lamborghini on our money. It's just gonna be like
Speaker 6: we're gonna be like praying to the God and the Lambo.
Speaker 6: That's what's going to be on the money. There's gonna
Speaker 6: be like sixteen apartment buildings just like in a cube
Speaker 6: around the Lamborghini, like the same way we have like
Speaker 6: the pyramid with the eye now and it's like, this
Speaker 6: is this is our new religion in the state underneath.
Speaker 2: It's like, Dad, what does this say? It's like it's Latin.
Speaker 2: I don't know to read it out to me. E
Speaker 2: pluribus lambeau. Oh yeah, yeah, that means of many lambeau.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and come back
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about Ted cruz.
Speaker 2: Man. We're back. And after I made that New Order
Speaker 2: joke by about Blue Monday, I was like, what was
Speaker 2: that band like in the late nineties or odds that
Speaker 2: covered it and kind of brought the song back, And
Speaker 2: my younger esteemed guests were like, a, sir, are you
Speaker 2: talking about de banking again? What's on your hands? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it was this band they brought the
Speaker 2: whole wave back. It was Orgy And shout out to
Speaker 2: my geriatric millennials and older who remember when Orgy brought
Speaker 2: the Blue Monday song or blue New Damn New Order
Speaker 2: song Blue Monday back. All that to say, we need
Speaker 2: to talk about blue Monday, the capitalist hoax that continues
Speaker 2: to persist. I wasn't fully aware of this as a concept.
Speaker 2: Did you guys know about blue Monday at all? Alex?
Speaker 2: What about you?
Speaker 11: I've heard that phrase, but I think it's mostly because
Speaker 11: of Kurt Bonnegut's writing. He's referencing like an advertising concept
Speaker 11: for washing machines. Right, you can beat blue Monday by
Speaker 11: having easier laundry to do in like the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 2: Ah well, again along that similar vein. Apparently, like this
Speaker 2: is something that's really big in like you're mostly the
Speaker 2: UK and in Canada as well, they've heard tell of
Speaker 2: blue Monday. But apparently it is the third Monday in
Speaker 2: January and it is known as quote, the most depressing
Speaker 2: day of the year. And I'm like, what does that
Speaker 2: exactly mean? Like, here's headlines from the Standard in the
Speaker 2: UK Blue Monday twenty twenty four. When is blue Monday?
Speaker 2: And how to beat it. Another headline, it's officially the
Speaker 2: most depressing day of the year. An expert offers some
Speaker 2: tips to lift the gloom on Blue Monday. Blue Monday
Speaker 2: is coming up. Are you prepared for the most depressing
Speaker 2: day of the year. So we had it. I didn't
Speaker 2: realize it was the most I guess that MLKA day
Speaker 2: for us was Blue Monday. Yes, get him out of here.
Speaker 2: I know, because I'm surprised. There wasn't like, oh coincidence
Speaker 2: much that Blue Monday is also Martin Luther King Day,
Speaker 2: the most depressing day for white people. Right, So they're saying,
Speaker 2: are you prepared? I'm like, okay, so what is going
Speaker 2: on now? Some of these outlets do admit that there
Speaker 2: is no actual scientific evidence to back up this premise,
Speaker 2: this concept of blue Monday, but also not all of
Speaker 2: them call out the fact that Blue Monday is just
Speaker 2: a straight up scam. You're getting bamboozled. The culprit, perhaps
Speaker 2: is late stage capitalism. This pseudo scientific reasoning why behind
Speaker 2: why quote blue Monday is so depressing involves like this
Speaker 2: actual I mean actual, I only say that because there
Speaker 2: are like equations, like it looks like a math equation,
Speaker 2: a legit looking mathematical equation which equates things like debt, motivation, weather,
Speaker 2: and the time that's elapsed since Christmas as a way
Speaker 2: to determine that, like to quantify that this is the
Speaker 2: most depressing day. But anyone, anyone who like looks at
Speaker 2: this for like one moment, you'll realize, like, how the
Speaker 2: fuck can you even compute this? Because there aren't even
Speaker 2: like shared units of measurement, Like how do you compare
Speaker 2: It's like saying, Okay, a large pizza times a GDP
Speaker 2: of Brazil equals that Mickey Rooney is actually Billie Eilish's grandfather.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and you're likeymmetric sads or imperial sads. I can't
Speaker 11: figure right.
Speaker 2: How do we measure the depress and whose unit are
Speaker 2: we using? And I guess the inventor of this equation
Speaker 2: was a guy named doctor Cliff Arnall who was hired
Speaker 2: by a fucking travel company, Skytravel they're defunct now, back
Speaker 2: in two thousand and five to basically just contribute to
Speaker 2: a press release. And they wanted to sell people on
Speaker 2: the idea that there is a most depressing day of
Speaker 2: the year, which would then inspire the consumer to consume
Speaker 2: and to book a vacation thanks to sky Travel bringing
Speaker 2: this all to light, and he kind of has like
Speaker 2: some credibility to back up these claims. He's like, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: you know, I was a Cardiff University psychologist. But then
Speaker 2: pretty quickly the Cardiff University was like, no, this dude
Speaker 2: was a quote former part time tutor. Like let's not
Speaker 2: get this like fucked up. Like he was not, That's
Speaker 2: not what he was doing. And he later tried to
Speaker 2: walk back this great cultural myth that he created by
Speaker 2: saying it was never his quote intention to make January
Speaker 2: even worse for people, and and he even admitted the
Speaker 2: idea of Blue Monday was not particularly helpful. But guess what.
Speaker 2: That fucking apology was part of another commercial campaign for
Speaker 2: a travel company, Virgin Atlantic. Please keep fucking with this guy.
Speaker 2: They said the campaign will encourage the nation to dispel
Speaker 2: their Blue Monday beliefs and instead embrace the new possibilities.
Speaker 2: Then another year can hold possibilities like traveling to Thailand
Speaker 2: or Vietnam or South America. It's just like one of those. Really,
Speaker 2: it's just super cynical when you're just like kind of
Speaker 2: like using this idea that yeah, winter's hard for people
Speaker 2: coming out of the holidays. It's hard for people having
Speaker 2: resolutions and like trying to stick to those can lead
Speaker 2: to people being demotivated. But then to be like, damn,
Speaker 2: book your package holiday with us? Why check out mark
Speaker 2: Bella Spain. It's absolutely popping. And the time. He also
Speaker 2: he supposedly cracked the formula for the happiest day of
Speaker 2: the year. He said, oh yeah, I'm doing that now.
Speaker 2: Because he pivoted to saying he was a freelance happiness guru,
Speaker 2: which sounds like me when I was just like dating
Speaker 2: a bunch of people in smoking weeds in my twenties.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'm like a whoa, what do I do?
Speaker 2: I'm like a freelance happiness.
Speaker 10: It's like a vibes curator.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly, But and for some reason I kind
Speaker 2: of respect a vibes more than a freelance. I think
Speaker 2: it's just the wording. Is this more with our times? Yeah,
Speaker 2: guru's bad? Guru bad? Overall? We have too many gus,
Speaker 2: especially on social media.
Speaker 11: Yeah, vibes curator, you can say you're a VC.
Speaker 2: That's kind of nice.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah we should be see are you are? You
Speaker 2: a vibe curator, do you.
Speaker 10: I like to think so absolutely, I definitely do curate vibes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I think the same way if I'm having
Speaker 2: you know, like a like a gathering, or somebody's like being.
Speaker 7: Like, oh, like I want to have like a dinner,
Speaker 7: I'm like, okay, what do you like? What are you thinking?
Speaker 7: Like you don't have a spread? Is it going to
Speaker 7: be like a spread? You want to bounty for people?
Speaker 7: Do people bring in their own thing?
Speaker 2: Do you want to just have it so your guests
Speaker 2: are like blown away by hospitality? Is it a group effort?
Speaker 2: I feel it could be me overthinking. Maybe that's a
Speaker 2: vibe curator a.
Speaker 10: Little bit, you know, a little type a, a little overthinking.
Speaker 2: But nobody I like that though, I also like to
Speaker 2: host like that, so I feel it. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: I love can I For the record, I love a
Speaker 2: spread same when people put it spread out. There is
Speaker 2: nothing that blows me more away than somebody who's like
Speaker 2: you thought of.
Speaker 7: All these other things just to put out here for
Speaker 7: this little gathering, Like these are fine meats.
Speaker 2: Maybe not cheeses, No cheeses for me, but yogurt flavored
Speaker 2: ice creams and popcorn what's your sprays? It goes to me,
Speaker 2: frozen yogurt and fro yo.
Speaker 12: Right there, some cheese it some gold fish oh oh
Speaker 12: we cheese it so oh yeah, I like cheeses, yes,
Speaker 12: but not cheese.
Speaker 13: Flavor blast Yeah, I like the flavor blasts. Goldfish flavor
Speaker 13: blast are the great. Yeah yeah, the more the better. Okay,
Speaker 13: all right, I'm just making sure, just making sure.
Speaker 2: Are you a vibe curator? Would you do you see
Speaker 2: yourself as a vibe curator? Alex?
Speaker 11: I think maybe, I don't know if I aspire to it.
Speaker 11: I think I try to participate, you know, but I'm
Speaker 11: not a big spread builder. I'm more of a spread
Speaker 11: supporter or like, oh, good job, keep it up.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. That's you. But that is good.
Speaker 2: You are contributing to the vibes in a positive way, ye,
Speaker 2: so vibe Yeah yeah yeah, vibes contributor. These are all contribute,
Speaker 2: consume or be a connoisseur or a curator. Either way,
Speaker 2: you do, you do what you gotta do. But yeah,
Speaker 2: the reason why, like Blue Monday, it just like sticks
Speaker 2: around like apparently all like in so much marketing, people
Speaker 2: are still using it as like a fucking being like hey, man,
Speaker 2: like you want to buy a fucking big mac by
Speaker 2: get the fucking Vibe meal and shit, or I think
Speaker 2: a Burger king that a vibe meal anyway, But it
Speaker 2: seems like the com might be working because last year
Speaker 2: in the United Kingdom, online sales are reportedly shot up
Speaker 2: by eighteen percent on Blue Monday because of all this
Speaker 2: shit like oh yeah, like like it's wild how you
Speaker 2: can get in people's minds right like in America Black Friday,
Speaker 2: Cyber Monday, it's like you better buy some shit. Don't
Speaker 2: be fucking stupid fucking around Black Friday, you fucking dumb man,
Speaker 2: Go fucking buy something you don't fucking need because that
Speaker 2: weird mobile phone charger costs like half off now, like
Speaker 2: I don't and and look at me. I bought one,
Speaker 2: but I use it sparingly, sparingly, but like I try to,
Speaker 2: I try to. And then like so it's wild that
Speaker 2: like they're using this thing of like weaponizing people's own
Speaker 2: like mental health or like seasonal affected disorder or whatever,
Speaker 2: like just to be like, oh yeah, it's gloomy to
Speaker 2: be like you know what will fucking help you to
Speaker 2: buy some ship? Man?
Speaker 10: That is so ugly. I don't appreciate being manipulated like that.
Speaker 10: This is so ugly.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, what are they gonna do, like deal
Speaker 2: with root causes of people's feelings of loneliness, So support
Speaker 2: the pharmaceutical industry if we have to do. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: Oh what I'm gonna do? Pay real wages? No, no,
Speaker 2: it's blue Monday. Okay, did you did you? Did you
Speaker 2: buy that? Whatever the fun? Did you buy that? Stanley Monk? Okay, right, yeah?
Speaker 2: Did you guys are Stanley oh Man?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Also just feels fake that it would be a Monday
Speaker 11: specifically is the saddest day, Like what, I don't know.
Speaker 11: Tuesdays can be harder, and it just know, I don't
Speaker 11: think that time.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of with you. I think Tuesday's Monday's, like
Speaker 2: I get it, like just because it's the first day back.
Speaker 2: But Tuesdays you're like, fuck, bro, it's only like you
Speaker 2: do this here, like it's only fucking Tuesday. The other
Speaker 2: part Monday, you know, You're like, it's fucking Monday. But
