Speaker 1: to talk about today, just talking about Obviously, rent is

107
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: fucking ridiculous, and no matter what city you live in,

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: but there's some cities where it's even more ridiculous, and

109
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: just generally need to bring up again why our rents

110
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: are so high. It's a factor of many things, and

111
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: human greed does actually factor into it too, so don't

112
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: be too shocked when you hear about that. And then

113
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,880

00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: workers do not and he's doing it in the saddest

117
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: fucking way possible. So we're just gonna we're gonna drink

118
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: some some fucking one percent or tears in a second,

119
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about just again the tickets. They're

120
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: so hard to get websites crashing. Joel is going to

121
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: catch us up to speed on what the plight of

122
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: the ticket seekers of this earth. Um, we'll get to

123
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: all that, but first they know, gotta ask you, what's

124
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay?

125
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: So I looked and one of the last things I

126
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: started was designer children's clothing. Okay, yes, and that's because

127
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: I am looking for I'm always looking for clothing in

128
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: a side children's followed four team because I'm really short, okay,

129
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: and it's like a little cheaper. So that's what I

130
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: did for I was gonna say, isn't that like, aren't

133
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna lie, it makes it a lot easier. And it's

134
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: just like last competitive like things like don't sell out

135
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: in a children's twelve oh right, because there's not hype

00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: of an item so that they can be like right,

154
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: right right, I mean I guess that is a good model.

155
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean maybe we should try that with a podcast,

156
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: be like, I mean, there's only twenty there's only like

157
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: so many downloads available, all downloaded out and then but

158
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: really there's only two, and then you do four, and

159
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: then you do six and then I feel like, maybe

160
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: hold on, this is it's an easy way to make

161
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: demand seem really high. Yeah, because I mean the the

162
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: Nike does that in Most sneaker companies do that now,

163
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: and people are like, what the funk is this really

Speaker 1: them the roast beef one has that's like a color

169
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: of color. It's a color wave they dropped, which is

170
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: like a pinkish like like, yeah, exactly exactly. I don't

171
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: know why, but I didn't care. At first. I was

172
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: like the name, but then I was looking at the

173
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: color and I was like, I have a lot of

174
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: things that can match that, and I'm trying to expand

175
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: my purse collection. And now I was like, the purses

176
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: to match the sneakers. You know, I'm trying to put

177
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: it together. I need to get my brother's organized. He

178
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: buys the shoes first and then finds a T shirt

179
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: that matches the sweaters. Yeah, I'm not that way I'm like, oh,

180
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: click by, and then I'm like what does this go with?

181
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: And what is happening in this space? So it's messy,

182
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, I have my purple one and it's perfect,

183
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,840

00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: tell far links in the chat it's called corn beef.

185
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: I want to tell far so bad? Yeah? Also, like

186
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: what a way to find out that your favorite color

187
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: is actually corned beef and you just didn't even know

188
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: the whole And where do you go with that information? Now?

189
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Like when you know you're like, what's your what do

190
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: you say? What's your seasons? You know what what's your season?

191
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: What's what's what's the term I'm looking for with fashion? Look,

192
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm dumb as fuck? Oh like are you a winter?

193
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: Are you talking about like that like when people are

194
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: like winter or summers or whatever? Yeah? Yeah yeah, based

195
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: on your colors, that's like a really like seventies eighties thing.

196
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: I think, Okay, that makes sense because I'm elderly and

197
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: the last thing I heard that from was like like,

198
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: I don't think you No, I wasn't, but I remember

199
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: I had a manager when I worked at Conde Nast

200
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: who was older and would talk about that stuff, and

201
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: I was like, the season, yeah, my my mom. My

202
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: mom was always talking about like getting her colors done

203
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: when in the eighties and how it made her like

204
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: not were certain colors for a really long time, and

205
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: she was like I thought. I was like, oh, that's stupid.

206
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, corn beef shout out. I'm a corn

207
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: beef I think too this this is kind of dope.

208
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: It's like old chewing gum. That's what I would call it.

209
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: But that's not that's kind of a weird thing to say.

210
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: If you're marketing it is like, you know, we could

211
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: go we could go corn beef or old chewing gum.

212
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: That's what it's evoking for me. But I'm gonna call

213
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: it bubble um. There you go, bubble just to give

214
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: it that they see that patina on it, that little

215
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: aged factor to it. Absolutely, Daniel, what's something you think

216
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: is overrated? Oh? Overrated? Because I was at Universal Studios

217
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: on the other day and you got what No, I mean,

218
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: I like, hold on, I think I think I like it.

219
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: I love University Studios. But we got like he's in

220
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: front of the line passes for the first time ever,

221
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: is called the Universal express and we realized that we

222
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: don't like cutting lines and it just makes it like

223
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: we like like to chat like I like like, Ryan, yeah,

224
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: that's true. There is something formative of you know, your

225
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: your your comrades when you're ninety minute line for that. Yeah.

226
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: So what was the experience like when you began to

227
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: realize it? Um, When I began to realize that cutting

228
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: line was not fun, I really was just like, oh,

229
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm excited to come back here and have

230
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: to wait in line again. That was on. I was like, well,

231
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: that's it's really I'm really missing something without the line

232
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: portion of this experience. Sure, because doesn't that make the

233
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: day like just hours shorter when you take out all

234
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: the waiting time? Yeah, we did everything you want to do.

235
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: It is two Okay, here's my thing on the Universal too,

236
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: there's like two good roller coasters. So it's like, okay,

237
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: so now I have to go on these like time

238
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: times each like it'stainly that's the point, you know. Yeah. Wait,

239
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: So okay, Joe, Well you were like Universal trash and

240
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: I want to hear this take too. Listen, Okay, I'm

241
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: just saying before you start, just I grew up in

242
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: the shadow of Universal Studios in North Hollywood and the

243
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: shadow of city, walking on the shadow of that King

244
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: Kong thing hanging off the side of the like I

245
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: get it and listen from outside, driving up, you're like,

246
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's about to be lit. Let's go

247
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: like Universal. But once you get inside, is this the

248
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: whole park? Is this everything? I've been two or three

249
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: rides on the Jurassic Park ride from this vents or

250
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: or the why why did you let the O G.

251
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Grinch set get crispy out there? You all don't want

252
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: to paint that up? Do what it is when he

253
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: will is decrepit that they're still showing it like you

254
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: take it down or paint it, but like highlighting that

255
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: like it's a feature is weird. I feel like they've

256
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: stopped highlighting. I remember them not discussing it on the tour,

257
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: and I think it goes around that good because I

258
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: think they've realized it's too dilapidated and people are like,

259
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: this is really sad. How much would it cost to paint?

260
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: It's not a large set. I'm just saying you could

261
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: make it weird, even the Jaws part of it, and

262
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: especially here's the real problem. If you must go to

263
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: Universal in California, just don't go before you go before

264
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: you go to the one in Florida, because one in

265
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: Florida is so freaking epic, really jaws right down, Oh

266
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: my god. The actual park, it's it's like Disney size park.

267
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 1: It's Disney size park. You're abed as the versions of

268
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: amusement parks being so much better than California has. I'm like,

269
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: why Californians are are very much like first of all,

270
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: like you have to remember, like Disney built the park

271
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: here first, and so it's very like petite to what

272
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: we're used to. They've expanded a lot. But because they're

273
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: in Pasadena, which is an old town, which is very

274
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: aware of its chokehold on Disney, Nianian is not letting

275
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: you get away with ship. They're like, listen, you want

276
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: to build a garage. Uh fine, we're gonna talk to numbers.

277
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: And I am I on crack. Where is it at Anaheim?

278
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,479
Speaker 1: I don't know my small out of the way yet Anaheim.

279
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Anaheim has a chokehold on Disney, and they're very much

280
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: about like making sure where that it stays looking a

281
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: certain way. Disney is trying to get some of these

282
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: older hotels out of the way. But they're like, no,

283
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: those are local business people, Like that's a hole to do.

284
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: And because of that, it's small. When they went to Florida,

285
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: they opened up in a swamp. Ain't no jurisdiction in

286
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: a swamp, and it was like, we're just gonna build

287
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: and build and build, and it's fine. We don't have

288
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: to tear down to bring in new rides. I can

289
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: just build up a new ride, and we can also

290
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: just ignore ship if we don't. That's true. That's true.

291
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: Like it's abundance there. You can't do Disney or Universal

292
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: down there in a single day. It would literally be impossible.

293
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: You couldn't even walk all of it in a single day.

294
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: So I swear you can't. There's too many parts. Because

295
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: you've got Animal Kingdom, you've got the o G Park,

296
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: You've got epcotcomm which is actually cool because you can

297
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: drink there, so they've got like drinks from around the world.

298
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: It's so cool. But Universals down in Florida, like when

299
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: you get on there, like dinosaur rides, epic there um.

300
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: When I went I was little, they still had the

301
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: Jaws ride, which I think they've retired, but it was

302
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: like the most like the shark is in the boat

303
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: as opposed to hear where you're like looking at a

304
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: small lagoon, you're like, that has teeth and oh yeah,

305
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: there it is. No, the thing comes up on the

306
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: side of the boat and you think you're gonna die.

307
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: So it's just the levels are totally bigger. Yeah, the

308
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: family asked of like going back every year up here

309
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: are really hute. I love disney Land up here. It's

310
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: very sweet. Like a lot of people are like, this

311
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: is my second homes where go like, you know, three

312
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: or four times a year. But as far as amusement

313
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: and actual fun, you want to go to Florida. That

314
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: seems to be the consistent thing, and I get it. Universally,

315
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: there's that like when you do the backlot tour and

316
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: you're like, oh damn, the War of the World's thing

317
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: looks real fucked up still, and they're like, no, that's

318
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: who Ville with the crashed airplane. Yeah, oh no, no, Yeah,

319
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: that's neglect that we cleaned up the War the World

320
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: said a long time ago, when that ship first came

321
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: out the World the World set that ship was so clean.

322
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: I remember being like, whoa, I really I feel like

323
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: now I know what it's like to be on the

324
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: other end of American foreign policy. But yeah, it was

325
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: a really cool, uh cool vibe Atlas Dana. What's something

326
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Oh? Um? I think like the

327
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: broad multi camera st com that people that on the

328
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: coast don't launch, but that the Midwest loves. I love

329
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: just like the cheesiest broadest that came on the planet,

330
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: like and everybody loves Raymond Like I think like and

331
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: obviously those aren't actually underrated. They're like they are properly rated.

332
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: They're ugly rated, but like, I think they're underrated in

333
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: like cool communities, and I really like them. I've been

334
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: rewatching like two and off men. Obviously you know some

335
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: problematic elements, But oh, what happened? Is everything cool with

336
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: John Wolf? What's that guy's name that was the bad

337
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: guy of the two? Right, isn't Charlie's What happened with

338
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen? I don't know. Wasn't he canceled for something?

339
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Charlie? I don't know. I actually don't know,

340
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying things. Don't have a lot of

341
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: signed major league DVDs that I'm going to have to

342
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: get rid of soon if he is canceled that actually

343
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm not. Yeah, I really don't know he is, but

344
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: I love it so um wait, so so you're saying

345
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: the classics like you're dusting off the classics or do

346
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: you even see any like what you're seeing now, I'm

347
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: really saying multiicamps that comes to like that no one

348
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: watches like the Neighbors on CBS or whatever. Wait what

349
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: was that about? Exactly the neighborhood. It's like it's like

350
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: a it's a multiicam with like Max Greenfeld in like

351
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Sedrict Entertainer, and it's like it's like just the broadest

352
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: multi caam about a white family moving into a black neighborhood.

353
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: And it's not great, but I'm like there is something

354
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: about it that I'm like, it's doing something. It's filling

355
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: a void, right, you know. It's like the way you

356
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: talk about it, you said it sort of reminds me

357
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: of how I talk about terrible Christmas romance films that

358
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: come out of Hallmark, where it's like, yo, do the

359
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: worst the better? Yeah? Yeah, yes, I think I think

360
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: like as the more the more, like multi caam Like,

361
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: the more that you could make fun of it for

362
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: being stupid, the more I like it, got it, got it,

363
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: got it, got it. So I mean I guess that's

364
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: the other thing too, Like there's a comfort in like

365
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: really predictable like writing. Also, I love a laugh track.

366
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, tell me, tell me O. Wait, So okay,

367
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: what's if if you're gonna put somebody onto a sitcom

368
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: right now? What would you what would you recommend? Um? Honestly,

369
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just telling everyone I know to watch

370
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: you watch two and half Man and they don't like it,

371
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: and they're like they're like, stop telling me to watch that,

372
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: and it's dope elementary. Oh yeah, actually, but I've got

373
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: elementaries Like like like that's like this is what I'm

374
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: different than what I'm talking about. It's like we're talking

375
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: what I'm like, Like it's like an opiate for your brain.

376
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: Like you're literally like it's like you feel like you're

377
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: on Santa you know. I call that listen, No, I

378
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: call that depression TV. Yeah, I am way into it.

379
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: My Depression TV was friends for a long time. I

380
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: don't really like anybody on that shows a human being,

381
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: like not the actors are fine, but like the characters,

382
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, difficult to human beings we not want to

383
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: live with. But man, something about that show was just

384
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna get through the day and it's gonna

385
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: be fine. It's gonna be okay. And if once you

386
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: watch a know so many times, now you know the

387
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: beats of it, and when you can start saying the

388
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: lines with like it's time to get out of that.

389
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: I have to go to something. I was with The

390
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: Office and I was like, like the UK and American

391
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: version of the Office, I would I would like saying

392
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I would like I could like like you're saying, you

393
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: know the beats of it to the point like I

394
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: think I'm just listening to music now. No, no, no,

395
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: the Office is music. I mean officely Like I knew

396
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: karaoke in to every episode of the Office, right, you know,

397
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: like yeah, like a man on hinge. I'm like, wow,

398
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: I can really I know every line of the Office.

399
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about it. I don't

400
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: know what it is about it. Although recently there was

401
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: that episode where um, someone took a dump on Michael

402
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: in Michael's office and on the carpet and he says

403
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: this thing where I'm like, I've always been like, you know,

404
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: since like you know, we've been more aware of like

405
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: ignorance and workplaces and more sensitive to it, especially after

406
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: Michael Scott rubs me in such a fucking like the

407
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: wrong way. Like it's weird how my relationship to Michael

408
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: Scott has change raged over the years, And I'm like,

409
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: this motherfucker is exact problem with these Isn't that the

410
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: point it is? But I think I've I then I've

411
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: I shifted to this place of like I don't know

412
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: how funny sometimes like even benign ignorance can be to

413
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: me anymore. But it's but it's like it ebbs and

414
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: flows because other times I watch it, I'm like, this

415
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: ship is so stupid. I love it, but so in

416
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: my mind, like when people always talk about you know,

417
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: they always speculate like what would the office be doing

418
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: now or whatever, I'm like, dude, this guy would be

419
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: such an alright person. And then in the in the

420
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: fucking episode, he's like, I love Joe Rogan. He brings

421
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: up fear factor and he goes pretty much love anything

422
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan does, and I was like, Okay, there's an

423
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: exhibit A. I mean, that's that's who Michael Scott is

424
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: for sure. I Mean I always think of the episode

425
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: where he pretends like they have to stay an extra

426
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: hour because of something corporate wants them to do, just

427
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: so we can make sure that they all come to

428
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: his party, because well, I know that you thought you

429
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: were gonna stay late, so you have you don't have

430
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: many plans. You have to come to my party, right, um,

431
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's so funny and crazy, that's sick.

432
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: It's know, no one comes to this party or I

433
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: mean one of my favorites, uh, this Dwight date to

434
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: the dinner party that he wasn't invited to. Anyway. This

435
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: is not a it's not an office podcast. We actually

436
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: have that. It's called The Office Deep Dive with Brian

437
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: Bob Gartner on the network, So check that ship out,

438
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: not this one. All right, let's take a quick break

439
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back after this and we are back.

440
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: Rent high enough for you? Just just a quick question, everybody,

441
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: No good, good to the rent? Okay, perfect, Let's move on. Um, look,

442
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: rent rates have everybody knows, like I think anecdotally, they're like,

443
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on with rent. If you're

444
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: moving space at places, you're like, the rent has gone

445
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: up at a ridiculous amount of New Yorkers I know,

446
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: or like the rent fucking nose dive for a second.

447
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: And now they're essentially like when with your application for

448
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: a new place, they also do a little strong on robbery,

449
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: holds you at knife point and patch your pockets down,

450
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, thanks, h welcome to the

451
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: new renter's market. On paper, right, rents have increased by

452
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: on average, like nationally sevent based on one year ago,

453
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: they've gone up seven team. That's when you average the

454
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: ship out. Other places it's fucking worse. Austin, Texas, for example,

455
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: the ship has gone up, Dallas Fort Worth area up,

456
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: And I think again most people are like, what the

457
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: fuck is going on? Like it's not like like, uh,

458
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: it's a fucking building. How is the ship more money

459
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: right now? Is it? What is happening? Why are we

460
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: at the wheel of the landlords and these costs? Well,

461
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: when you look at it, there's a few different factors,

462
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: and I think most many people are very sensitive to

463
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: this naturally, because we're at a point in in time,

464
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: at the moment where gas prices are ridiculous, food prices

465
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: are going up, and most people's wages are like stagnant.

466
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Uh if not like the opposite of a living wage,

467
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: like a joke wage. Almost yeah, so there not funny

468
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: Congress being like, uh, you could have a joke wage.

469
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: Wage is no longer applicable, you can't reach it. But

470
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: allow you to pay them a joke wage they laugh

471
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: about it. It'll be great. Here's some how about a

472
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: lull wage three cents an hour? You funk with that? Joking? Or?

473
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: Am I? Or am I? Not for prisoners? Not accurate? Right? No?

474
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean we're all we're all, um, we're all staring

475
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: down the gun of not being housed unless you work

476
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: to be a what is it a productive member of

477
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: society as it were. So you look at what's going on,

478
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: and depending on the factors you look at, there's a

479
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: number of explanations, but the biggest thing is that there's

480
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: just not enough housing. Right. One of the biggest things

481
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: that is factoring into all of this is that there

482
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 1: just aren't like appropriate homes available for the kinds of

483
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: people that need them. So if there's not enough homes

484
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: to meet the demand, that means there's no fucking pressure

485
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: or competition from landlords to do anything about it, you

486
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Because then they're like, oh, what

487
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Like, we're the only few rackets

488
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: in town that have like a single family housing unit

489
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: that is in like seven thousand dollars a month. So

490
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: I guess what I can set the rate because if

491
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: you're not going to pay it, some other person more

492
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: desperate and maybe with slightly more money than you will

493
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: pay it. And I get to do my thing. And

494
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when you look at how cities

495
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: over emphasized like luxury high rise condos, like for example,

496
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: like l A, we have less places for people to

497
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: live that don't descend from like oligar key. So you

498
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: mean you have these landlords that have us all by throwing.

499
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: It reminds me just like the internet service in most

500
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: places where there's like only two companies, so they're never

501
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: incentivized to have it fucking work because they're like, what

502
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Go to the other shitty one anyway?

503
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: Shout out spectrum. That's like kind of like the same

504
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: way it's looking with housing to where people are looking

505
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: at you know, they're looking at people needing housing and

506
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: sort of being like, well, I don't know. I mean,

507
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: if you're not going to pay, someone else will. And

508
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: this is becoming just an increasingly dire situation. And I

509
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: think you know, the other elements to this is that

510
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: construction is slowed down because the materials cost too much.

511
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: But this is the other part. Most people, right because

512
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, they are beginning to look at their

513
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: own like living spaces differently. We saw that how people

514
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: begin all these sort of like d I Y projects

515
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: at home or trying to make their like home offices

516
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: and things like that. People want more space, more privacy,

517
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't fucking want roommates anymore

518
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: if they can afford to not have roommates. So that's

519
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: also creating just this perfect storm that also allows allows

520
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: for human greed to be a bit distorted or at

521
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: least camouflaged by these other factors. But yeah, I don't know,

522
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: if I don't know how much things have changed, if

523
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: if if y'all have moved, or your perception of what

524
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: you need for where you live has where you live

525
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: has changed since the pandemic. But yeah, we moved January one,

526
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: which was a great time to move. Oh my god, prices.

527
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: And in the basement a whole bunch of new properties

528
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: had just gone up, and they were like, how are

529
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: we going to feel them? It's crazy And I had

530
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: intense pandemic time, and so we sort of felt like

531
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: we had, you know, our pick and it was nice

532
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: because we had all sort of just started making like

533
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: real people money, so long freelance and uh it was helpful.

534
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: We are now moving again for a multitude of reasons,

535
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: mostly because when you buy a house that goes up

536
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: quickly here real thin walls, Uh frustrating. So I guess

537
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: similar to a lot of people being like, we don't

538
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: want roommates, and we just wanted to be silent in

539
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: our own home, right, you don't want to hear someone

540
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: else having no not at all. You've got a house

541
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: in like or we I've lived in apartments mostly that

542
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: were built in the seventies. There's like a big boom

543
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 1: between the fifties and early seventies in California, and all

544
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: those houses super solid, like you can't hear anything. It

545
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: was perfect. Now there's there's a lot of property going up,

546
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: but not a lot of information available about like when

547
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be finished. I'm guessing that's a supply

548
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: chain issue. But my other concern is so um to

549
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: your point, a lot of it's happening in like single

550
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: family communities where we're seeing a big gentrifica a lot

551
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: of gentrification. Gavin Newsom signed a new bill into law

552
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: late last year which was like two housing bills that

553
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: allowed for denser housing on single family lots, which, on

554
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: the one hand, seems like a really good opportunity to

555
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: alleviate the housing crisis in California, more houses and smaller spaces.

556
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, we're seeing a lot of townhouses go up.

557
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, like these communities that have

558
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: long been let's face it, predominantly like Mexican are dying

559
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: now they're quickly being gentrified, and that's sort of I

560
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: don't want to be a contributor to that cause. But

561
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: I also need a place to live. So it's it's

562
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: a difficult out here for pretty much everyone just trying

563
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: to find a house to live. And I don't know,

564
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: all he's got a lot of work to do. We're

565
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna resolve this crisis. I mean, yeah, who should we

566
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: vote for for mayor to make it better. Oh my god,

567
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm obviously Rick Caruso. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's gonna

568
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: right into the growth, like I just want to live

569
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: in a free people so much does right? No? No, no,

570
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I mean you look at most people

571
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: who like running for mayor of l A like you're

572
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: beholden to commercial real estate developers no matter what. Well again,

573
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: like one guy is the developer. It's just like he's

574
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: literally developer. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's he's like, hey,

575
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: you know the places where like you almost don't believe

576
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: that un housed people don't exist. Yeah, those are all

577
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: the shopping malls I built because I work, and the

578
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: l a p D are like fucking this. I actually

579
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: used to be the president of the Police Commission with

580
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: people don't realize that about me either. I'm Rick Caruso, folks. Yeah,

581
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: And which is funny because most people who have that

582
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: position for the l a p D Commission are typically

583
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: private citizens, always private citizens, but real estate people like

584
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: whether they had a hand in rejuvenating downtown or people

585
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 1: like Rick Caruso. Just shows you the relationship between the

586
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: police and private property. So just beyond this though, too,

587
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: Like this is all sort of against a backdrop where

588
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, so many people's financial situations are tenuous, not

589
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: even even before the pandemic, but even now because of

590
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: the pandemic. There's this study that was that was done

591
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: before the pandemic that said in cities like l A,

592
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: where the rent is so high, five percent increase in

593
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: rent could drive thousands to become unhoused. That's all. It takes,

594
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: its fucking five percent to throw everybody's finances off. And

595
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: we're now in a thing where you're looking in some

596
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: areas they're taking you know, we're looking at an average

597
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: of seventeen you know, what happens with the regulations around this,

598
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: we shall see, but I mean until then, without an

599
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: emphasis on like affordable housing, like you know, we can't

600
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: have people can in you to be like because you

601
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: see so many so much of this ship in l

602
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: A too, where people like I just feel like, you know,

603
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: there's like so many homeless people like around and like

604
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: if there's like I don't know what, I don't know

605
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: what to do, it's like you don't know what to do?

606
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: Give them housing and advocate complicated. Yeah, And it's so

607
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: interesting when I talk to people who seemingly have their

608
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: head in the right place when it comes to other

609
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: societal ills that they're like, Okay, they can understand about

610
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: like the proliferation of like police militarized police, and like

611
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: white supremacy and all this other ship, But then their

612
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: empathy like stop suddenly for people who are like not

613
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: doing well, and then it's like, well, I don't know,

614
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: like they just shouldn't, Like there was like poop like

615
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: all over this, like Transformer box, I walked the dog

616
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: by all the time. It's like I just wish they

617
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: could just like move them somewhere, but they you need

618
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: to invest in the actual the ideas and the concepts

619
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: that will alleviate people, alleviate homelessness, and not just be

620
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: like it's grow pison. I don't like to see it.

621
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: If you don't, if you really care enough, don't just

622
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: turn it into a thing of I'm disgusted by the

623
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: reality that people are destitute, because I think that's the

624
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: thing most people are butting up against. Like I don't

625
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: like the idea of having to acknowledge that, like some

626
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: people could be doing so terribly and I'd rather just

627
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: not have that in my like my peripheral vision because

628
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to do my thing, but really taking

629
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: that and focusing that into oh, what are the actual

630
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: solutions to this, and that is affordable housing or just

631
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: looking at all the people, you know, the money that

632
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: we've put aside as a city that many residents are like, oh,

633
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: we can't have that, we can't have that in my backyard,

634
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: not even affordable housing. Yet well we're seeing it like

635
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: even in you know, I mean most recently, Dave Chappelle

636
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: went on a tirade in his own community where he

637
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: was like, if you build these were essentially Section eight

638
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: houses for people, I'll pull all my money out of

639
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: the city and bounce. And it was like, dude, yeah, homeless,

640
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: this is not a crime, and the fact that we

641
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: criminalize it doesn't make it a crime. Like we have

642
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: to be afraid of people without housing. That's just bananas. Yeah,

643
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: but I think that's reveals the whole you know, the

644
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: game there is if you criminalize being poor, then you

645
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: have to work, right, and then there's no option but

646
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: for you to toil because the the only other recourse

647
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: you have is to become unhoused or not be able

648
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: to pay your bills. And then yeah, you'll begin to

649
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: meet the other part of law enforcement. That's just bananas statement,

650
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: because I feel like there's not that many people who

651
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: don't want to work. And I don't mean like, of

652
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: course most people don't. Often most people don't dream of labor,

653
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: and if they could do something else, they they could

654
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: follow their dreams, you know. But most people have like

655
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: something they want to do. I mean, like most people

656
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 1: don't want to just sit around and be complain Most

657
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: people do want to contribute to society. It's just like

658
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: in what capacity do they want to do that. It's like,

659
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, like do I want want to work at

660
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, like like work at a quick service like

661
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: restaurant or damn would be fucking chill. If like I

662
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: could have a writing career because I'm really creative, I

663
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: just don't there's no outlets for that because I'm not

664
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: in prox pre close enough proximity to benefit from like

665
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: the social networks you need to enter show business. Anyway. Yes,

666
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: these are all things that you know, you think could

667
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: be better managed, but yeah, we're still looking at the

668
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: same situation. And like I was reading an article from

669
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: that was like, why is the rent so darn high?

670
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: They're still pointing at the exact same problems, and so

671
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, the slow, slow boil of progress continues, I guess,

672
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: or at least I don't know. I mean, at least

673
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: landlords are seemed to be kicked up. Becca said, it's

674
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: up in New York City. In some places that I

675
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: see of like people like apartment hunting in the Ark City.

676
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's a lot for these over over over

677
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: priced apartment like lines, like you can't even get one

678
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: with like regardless of whether you're willing to pain insane

679
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: like amount of money for a really tiny, tiny place,

680
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: it's like you still can't even get it because like

681
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: literally like the five people want this to overpay for

682
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: the same shitty place. Like it's so I saw another

683
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: TikTok of something about like I think it was in

684
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: North Carolina or something like near Asheville, where like this

685
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: realtor was like, this is a house that's going up

686
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: like for to be seen, and it's one of the

687
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: only houses that's actually like at a price that makes

688
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: sense for human beings who aren't like, you know, completely

689
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: like unable to you know, you're just maybe doing a

690
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: terrible loan or whatever. But the most reasonably house or

691
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: priced house, and they were shooting this TikTok, dude, the

692
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: people it you thought, I don't even know. I don't

693
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: know what kind of crowds I've seen like this, like

694
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: outside just for people to see an affordable home. And

695
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: when you when you see that that's there's that many

696
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: people looking for it, go a few levels lower to

697
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: people who might not even be in the market to

698
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: buy a house, but to rent a house. And then

699
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: from there you have an even you know, more ludicrous

700
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: market where you have people being able to set the

701
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: prices because whatever. Yeah, it's really disheartening to watch, especially

702
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: when you consider like somebody was tweeting the other day

703
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: about how their landlord was mad because they were two

704
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: days late in the bank, like tag the landlord because

705
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: their mortgage payment was late, and they're like, am I

706
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: my landlords like head of household, am I might the

707
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: beneficiary supporting my landlord's lifestyle? That is madness. That's why

708
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: I think that's why landlords have get such terrible flak,

709
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: because more people are sort of aware because there are

710
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: people who are just straight up landlords were like, my

711
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: job is to just collect your wages and then pay

712
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: for this property and that's what I do. And then

713
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: because it's wild when you see on especially on TikTok

714
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: and read it, you got like these pro landlord spaces

715
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: where people were like, I can't bove the people are

716
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: saying like, I'm a dick because I raised the rent.

717
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: I have bills too that I extract through passively having

718
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: this property that I may have inherited or whatever. And

719
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: I get that some people inherit houses and our landlords

720
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: and you're not trying to funk people over, but there's

721
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: damn sure a lot more people who look at land

722
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: being a landlord as the way out. But there's also

723
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: like this section of tech talk where it's like literally

724
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: like it's like how to become only onlord tektok and

725
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: and it's like he's like with like little fun music

726
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: and it's like this cute like girl in her like

727
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: early thirties, and she's like, this is how like I

728
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: make five thousand dollars a year with four Airbnb properties

729
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: that I put no money down on. And it's like

730
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: and it's like basically trying to get you also to

731
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: do the same kind of like Airbnb scam. And I'm

732
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: sorry and and you know and why and you you

733
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: can see why that is attractive, right because so many

734
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: people are like scrambling to figure out how to survive.

735
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: And right now, some of the examples you'll get on

736
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: social media are these people who are like young, dress nice,

737
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: got all the consumer items that you know, someone who's

738
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: struggling would probably want themselves. And the way that they're

739
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: presenting their lifestyle is like the way I did it

740
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: was to exploit other people's need for housing, y'all. Uh,

741
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: and this is how you do it. Look for some

742
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: distressed properties, like I see those videos too, and there's

743
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: no there's no real awareness as to what that means,

744
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: Like what what what cycles you're perpetuating by getting into

745
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: this idea of like lucrative landlord or your landlord orism

746
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: or whatever we like, and you're they're not just like

747
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: where is this money coming from? And the money is

748
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: coming from other people who are like working shitty jobs.

749
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: It's just like, but now I don't have to work

750
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,959
Speaker 1: and I have a I have a lambl payment now,

751
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: but yeah, go off with their lords. Um. Speaking of overlords,

752
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: I want to check in with Howard Schultz, who is

753
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: the on again off again Starbucks CEO, as I mentioned earlier,

754
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: and he is again he's fighting for his corporate overlord

755
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: life right now. The history unionization of a Starbucks and

756
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo was a high point for people who are actually

757
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: invested in labor rights, uh and equity. But if you're

758
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: in the c suite of a publicly traded company, it

759
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: looked more like when the spaceships from Independence Day pulled up,

760
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: like where they're looking at that and they're like, they're

761
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: trying to fuck us up. And that was and that's

762
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: why we see so much money going into union busting

763
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: and fucking with people who are trying to organize unions

764
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: in their workplaces. So he was so concerned, right he

765
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: came out of retirement to try and reason with the

766
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: people with some of these employees in Buffalo. This was

767
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: back in November when we covered it. There was that

768
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: clip of him like lining like the unionizing workers to

769
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: like people in the Holocaust who are sharing a blanket

770
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 1: to like keep themselves from not dying in the freezing cold.

771
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: And he's like, and that's what we're trying to do

772
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: with Starbucks is share the blanket as a way to

773
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: be like, so you don't have to unionize where you're like,

774
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, who are the Holocaust victims in this metaphor?

775
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: Exactly what are you saying? So that obviously went to

776
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: the sound of crickets. Those workers successfully unionized. And you know,

777
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: this is like the thing that a lot of people

778
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: who are you know, who are OMG afraid of unionizing.

779
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: They see places like Starbucks that have so many locations

780
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: that if slowly they begin to unionize more and more,

781
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: that a company that hires so many people has like

782
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: such a sort of baseline for what is equal pay

783
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: that affects fucking everyone else in the space. That's why

784
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: you see so much money being poured into it because

785
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: down the road they're like, don't I have to make

786
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: less Moneis. So when that didn't work, he returned to

787
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: his post is as as CEO and he's been you

788
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: know I presumably because he thinks he can keep the

789
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: unionizing from happening. And he had another employee roundtable discussion

790
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: again recently, and my god, this is him getting you know,

791
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: we want to get to I don't see you're not

792
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: employees were partners. You guys are partners even though you

793
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: don't have any stake in the profits of this place

794
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: where partners, right, and he wanted to just kind of

795
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: let everybody know all the cool stuff that's happening in

796
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: Starbucks basically as a way to sort of say, like,

797
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna stop, he said, we'll stop doing stock buy

798
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: backs and we're actually gonna pour that money back into

799
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: the company. They're like making better stores and navy wages

800
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: who knows, won't say that explicitly, and just you know,

801
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: making things nicer for Starbucks as it is. The people, again,

802
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: were so fucking bored at this event that then he

803
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: goes on to be Okay, that didn't work. What else

804
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: can I get these these like really poor working people,

805
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: How can I get them excited about the future of Starbucks?

806
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: Listen to this fucking pivot? Okay? How many people have

807
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: followed what has been happening with n f T S

808
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: nervous laughter? How many people have participated in investing in

809
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: We're poor bitch? Okay for that. Okay, So if you

810
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: look at I've tried to be a student with all this,

811
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: not saying a digital native. If you look at the companies,

812
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: the brands of celebrities, the influencers that are trying to

813
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: create a digital n f T platform and business. I

814
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: can't find one of them that has the treasure trove

815
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: of assets that Starbucks has, from selectibles to the entire

816
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: heritage of the company. So not any entertainment industry with

817
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 1: solidified characters are stories, way way backed up, has more

818
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: than I'm sorry, the dream company Starbucks. You sound like

819
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: an idiot, And that's just on a business level. Ambling

820
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: ambling entertainment as a production company has more exploitable i p.

821
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,479
Speaker 1: Than fucking Starbucks. But again, this is what he was saying.

822
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: He was Danely's like, wouldn't that be sick? Like y'all,

823
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: like Starbucks is gonna start doing n f T s,

824
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: How the fuck does that benefit these people? And what

825
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: the fund did you think they were going to be?

826
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: Like finally, because what he'll he'll pivot to and you

827
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: know who's gonna get first first swipe with those n

828
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: f T s, y'all the partners. That is what's wild

829
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: to me is these you know, millionaire billionaire CEOs coming

830
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: to talk to folks who make one their salary a year,

831
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, and not ever sitting down to actually address

832
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: these issues, but like talking to them like they're at

833
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: a board meeting. You know it just it doesn't compute

834
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: at all to their daily lives. You're not at all

835
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: addressing their needs or concerns. You're just adding frivolous things

836
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: to a company that they genuinely don't care about. Here's

837
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: the thing you need to understand. If you're paying your

838
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: employee minimum wage, if you're paying and most likely if

839
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: you're paying your employee ten dollars over minimum wage, don't

840
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: give a shit about your company. They don't care. Do

841
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: you have a family to them, they'll have a time.

842
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: They came in here to make sure their kids could eat, right.

843
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: It's from the last story where it will be criminal

844
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: to not have a job, even if they really enjoy

845
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: making their little latte foam are or you know this

846
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: Starbucks is a hub in their community and people come

847
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: in and use the internet and it you know that

848
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: feels warm and fuzzy to them. Like even if those

849
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: things are true, it's still most likely not their dream place.

850
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, most of them are not, like I can't

851
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: wait to open a Starbucks of my very own, Like

852
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: they literally just came here to work. And when we

853
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: make it so that, you know, our jobs have to

854
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: support our health care. When our jobs have to support

855
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: us past retirement, then it's important that jobs do those things.

856
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: Like you really can't have it both ways of being like, well,

857
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: we don't want the government to like support people independently,

858
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: you know, they gotta work, but we also aren't going

859
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 1: to make it so that work places have to support

860
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: people in a way that is realistic and these don't

861
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: unionize and make us have to actually honor those that

862
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: relationship where I'm telling you we're a family and this

863
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: is the thing, even though the n f t S

864
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: thing didn't fucking everyone laughed at that one. He then

865
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: just fully takes the fucking mask off and hits people

866
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: with his assessment of what workers fighting to have stable

867
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: and life sustaining wages looks like unionizing. This is this

868
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: is his unionizing take. Here's where it gets a little

869
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: sensitive because I've been coached a little bit, but I

870
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: do want to talk about something pretty serious. Oh, we

871
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: can't ignore what is happening in the country as it

872
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: relates to companies throughout the country being assaulted in many

873
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: ways by the threat of unionization. You can't assault literally

874
00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: using the word assault for that is actually truly so sorry,

875
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: so someone coached him to say that. I think he

876
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: was coached to not say, please, don't say that a

877
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: sleep like we said aoid the word of salt, and

878
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: then you would you ascribe that too. You're saying a

879
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: multibillion dollar entity was being assaulted by people seeking seeking equity. Wow,

880
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: I want to want be people wanting to be paid

881
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: like five dollars more an hour. I'm like, that's like,

882
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: you're crazy, Like this is the thing, right, and it

883
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: makes sense from the perspective of an olive garden like this,

884
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: if you're used to making obscene amounts of money, like

885
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: every fucking hour on the hour, anything that fucking threatens

886
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: that order seems like an existential threat. Is the same

887
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: ship you saw a white supremacist deal with anything dealing

888
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: with equality. They treat that ship as an like existential threat.

889
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: Black lives matter? Oh my god, then hours, don't you

890
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It's exact same response from someone

891
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: in a place, So you know, in the hedge ofmonic

892
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: class or whatever whatever what have you to be to

893
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: look at this and say this is fucking dangerous, this

894
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: is bad, but also to not have the wherewithal or

895
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: awareness to you're talking to the fucking people that are

896
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: looking for a better outcome. And you're saying like, I

897
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard about these fucking poor weirdos

898
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: that one are like curb stomp Starbucks, but that's like.

899
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: The super wealthy have this idea that you have to

900
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: you have to work your way up from nothing, and

901
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: they're really repulsed by the idea that people might start

902
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: off at a balanced place, even though many of them

903
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: started off like beyond wealthy. You know, Like recently, I

904
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: was offered a gig from somebody who's like, yeah, i'd

905
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: have to bump you down to assistant and work your

906
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: way up this personal wealthy. Their whole existence born into

907
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: like family name wealth. And I was like, as much

908
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: as I appreciate, I guess the offerings to come work

909
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: for you. Like I've risen to an executive status, I

910
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: can't go back to it. I just literally could not

911
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: work for it. That literally cannot afford to go back to.

912
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: And he was like, oh, well, my current assistant can't

913
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: afford it either, but she really wants the gig. I

914
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: don't know to tell you, bro, I can't be your

915
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: she can't do what she's doing. And it's just it's

916
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: a complete unawareness of like what it is to just

917
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: try to survive. But again, these are the same people

918
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: who if you ask them, what's a gown of gas cost?

919
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: You know, I read that you're mostly impacted by the

920
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: inflation if you make less than three hundred K a year.

921
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: I instantly felt called out. I was like, oh, I'm poor. Cool, great, Like, yeah,

922
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: if you make up up the enterk, you're not really

923
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: being impacted by the inflation. And so that's kind of

924
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: puts into perspective for a lot of people like, oh,

925
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: this is the difference of and theater k is not

926
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: even touching extreme wealth, right. That is it's it's just

927
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: hard to consert salized how people could be so upset

928
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: about like maybe you can't afford your second yacht, but

929
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: you know, other people are literally just trying to keep

930
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: an apartment. We have family every year. I'm like shocked

931
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: by the idea of families piling into their car because

932
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: it has air conditioning and just driving around as a

933
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: means to keep their families like cooled off. Yeah, the

934
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: disparity is this, It's it's unconscionable to come and then

935
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: talk to these people and play in their face like this, um.

936
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: But I'm glad the Internet gets to roast him. But

937
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 1: I also think it's like people like him, I don't

938
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: know any poor people, like the poor people. So it's

939
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: like that, you know, people like that day will say like, no,

940
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, I used to I used to be I

941
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: used to be a working guy. Back in seventy two.

942
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: I was working with this guy, this Feller. He came

943
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: from Loos in Asia and we were we were working together,

944
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: shoulder to shoulder, and he told me how how much

945
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: better it was here in the US. And I think

946
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: about that, how do I give that to my employees?

947
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: Like that's the weird like a class awareness that these

948
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: people pretend to have. Its like from sixty years ago,

949
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: not like yeah exactly. I also like yelling, you used

950
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: to be able to like rise up a little higher.

951
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: It's like now you can't, right, I mean, it's it's

952
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: the playing field is so tilted now. It's it's it's

953
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: very hard to know who actually has a head start

954
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: because most people look like they're starting from some kind

955
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 1: of deficit. But yeah, you know what, Bazos and Shultz,

956
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: they've poured a lot of money into busting the unions

957
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: um at their respective companies, because again that upfront spend

958
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: of spending millions of dollars now to just even prevent

959
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: Like when you even say, dude, that four million would

960
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: have kept those people from wanting to unionize if you

961
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: just invested in them. They're like, no, no, not, because

962
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: then I'd have to do it everywhere. If I just

963
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: do this one four million to completely go outside the

964
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: bounds of the law to union bust, that's more. That's

965
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: better for my long term goal of making as much

966
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: money as possible. Then to have people collectively bargaining for

967
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: a fair share. No join se support your local workers revolution.

968
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: It's happening. It's among us. That's the thing. I'm like,

969
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I know they're not liking this because

970
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: the momentum is definitely, uh, not with them at the moment.

971
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: It's definitely with the workers and the people see if

972
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: they can win. And the thing is like, like Kellogg

973
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: had to find out the hard way, we will just

974
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: stop working because it's not that much of a difference

975
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: from the way. We'll just stop. So they're like, I

976
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: can figure it out. They're like, no, we can figure out.

977
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: This little ship called mutual aid that can help me

978
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: weather this storm. All right, let's take a quick break

979
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: and we'll come back to just talk about man these tickets, man,

980
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: and we're back. Hey, tickets, tickets. Who's got the ticket?

981
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 1: Got tickets here? You need tickets? You need tickets. Listen.

982
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: That's kind of what we've come down to. If you

983
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I've tried to go to a concert,

984
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: a ball game, a film. You're aware of your options.

985
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: You got your ticket masters and your fan dangos, and oftentimes,

986
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: unfortunately you were paying more for you know, the website

987
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: expenses than you are for your actual ticket, sometimes twice

988
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: as much. It is, it was very challenging as to

989
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: purchase a ticket, uh, to go anyway? It is fucked up. Okay,

990
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: it is difficult. And on top of that, y'all have

991
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: sites that are just always crashing. Okay. Marvel's Multiverse of

992
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: Madness starring Doctor Strange a k A. Bet at a

993
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: cumber Ratch went on sale yesterday, and while marvel fans

994
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: a k A. Me are exciting to get their hands

995
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: on tickets, we once again run into the ever plaguing

996
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: problem of crashed sites. And coming off Marvel's last release,

997
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: which was Spider Man No Way Home, created in partnership

998
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: with Sony and when considering the twenty plus years of

999
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: online ticket sales, it's devastating issue, okay, and it's the

1000
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: most important issue of our time. I wanted to get

1001
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it. Now we could maybe forgive

1002
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: the Spider Man crash Cap movies and by proxy, ticket

1003
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: sales sites have took a huge like hurting during the pandemic. Okay,

1004
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: we almost lost a lot of major theater chains, and

1005
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: like Spider Man did, eventually become the first pandemic air

1006
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: released to break the hundred million opening weekend mark, which

1007
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: was great. It showed like sustained growth for the industry,

1008
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: and I understand that because we had taken a break,

1009
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: maybe people weren't expecting the ticket sales to be that high. Blessed,

1010
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: I totally understand. Several months after that though, we are

1011
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: still dealing with Harry Styles pre released tickets for Europe,

1012
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: crash ticket Master's website, and even other like smaller sites

1013
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: like Skittle, which is a UK based company. It's s

1014
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: k I D d l E. Not like Candy over here.

1015
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: You know, they received a lot of backclash when they

1016
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: were trying to promote a fat Boy Slim Beach show,

1017
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: crashed the entire thing. People were being who had been

1018
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: in line for hours were suddenly bumped back to like

1019
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: seventy place. It is not a sustainable business model. And

1020
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: when you consider the fact that the money that fans

1021
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: spent are not going to your acts or even to

1022
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: the venues housing them, but mostly to the corporation selling

1023
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: these tickets, it becomes very frustrating. Now it's not well,

1024
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: I guess I'll pause. There. Are you guys? Is it

1025
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: just me? Are you guys also experiencing ticket sales burnout?

1026
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: Are you enjoying the way tickets are being sold to you?

1027
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, Like to be honest, I've just been

1028
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: using the mc app and that seems to work pretty well. No,

1029
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: it will crash day one. I spent two hours this

1030
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: morning trying to get tickets on my because I have

1031
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: Stubbs and I was like, I'm gonna get my Stubbs points. Okay,

1032
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: with means I get a free ticket, I get all

1033
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: my points. Are you're going for like a big release thing? Right?

1034
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: You're saying, like for you, you're you're because you're trying

1035
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: to get that that Thursday night. Yes, Thursday Night Vibe,

1036
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: but I dinna are you even working with Thursday Night Vibes. No,

1037
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm like us, like, I'll go like Sunday eleven, AM okay,

1038
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: So I think we're doing so I got you soon.

1039
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: I expect that they just went on sale yesterday. But

1040
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: I guess what. It was frustrating for me through the

1041
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: process of trying to buy through the AMC subs app,

1042
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: and they know because I reached out to them on Twitter. Um,

1043
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: it's frustrating to be trying to purchase tickets. And I

1044
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: understand like they created a QUE system, which they didn't

1045
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: have for Spider Man. This night just crashed. You had

1046
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 1: to wait like a full like five or six hours,

1047
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: go back try to purchase your tickets. They had a

1048
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: que system, which I was excited about. They were like,

1049
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: in two minutes you'll be able to buy your tickets.

1050
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: You'll have ten minutes, and I was like, Oh, the

1051
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: resolve of the issue perfect. I hop in line. I

1052
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: wait the minute I go in to purchase the ticket

1053
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: and I just kept coming up air Air Air. Maybe

1054
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: it's at maybe the app can't support all the traffic.

1055
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: I'll go to the website, exact same error pops up. Now,

1056
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: why the do you have me in a queue waiting

1057
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: to join to purchase tickets if it doesn't work? What is?

1058
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: And then, on top of that, because the AMC app

1059
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: cash when I went to fan Dango, which does allow

1060
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: you to put your stubs card in so you can

1061
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: still get your membership points, because the AMC app was crashed,

1062
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: it would not calculate my stubs card as being active

1063
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: because it can't tap into the AMC site to confirm

1064
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: the number. Oh god, so they just starts scalping. Truly,

1065
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: it was hell. Uh if you could scalp a theater ticket,

1066
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: I would if I lived closer to the a m C,

1067
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: I would have just popped over there for a second

1068
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: and purchased them at the window. Unfortunately, just play a

1069
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: full price on dan Dango. You can listen for AMC members.

1070
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: You know, you can't go in and have them retroactively

1071
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: attached it to your stubs card. I guess, But like

1072
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: three tickets is like seventy six dollars. It's a listen.

1073
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm not a parent. I'm sorry parents that you have

1074
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: to deal with this. This is so much money. But

1075
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: I also just think that we've been doing this for

1076
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: twenty years, twenty years of online ticket sales. Why is

1077
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: this not resolved issue? Why can't you tell me to

1078
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: come back at like three o'clock my spot where we reserved.

1079
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: You do went on the phone all the time. You're like, hey,

1080
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: we're just gonna bounce back and call you in a

1081
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: minute when we have some time and available. People, they're

1082
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: not going to sort it out because you like you're

1083
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: saying they make too much money. Well, it makes so

1084
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: much money. I mean ticket resales are like a huge

1085
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: It's like a huge market. I mean the same with

1086
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, like um like resale hype stuff.

1087
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, what's the secondary ticket market look like?

1088
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god, well okay, like maybe like ticket Master,

1089
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: but I mean like like like I mean there's like

1090
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: stub Hub and there's like, oh yeah, why am I

1091
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: acting like I don't even even on a t X.

1092
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: It's like they have acts you have access to like

1093
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: the actual ticket prices. But then like once those do

1094
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: those tickets, then they have other people selling their tickets

1095
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: that they bought for market value for like four like

1096
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: ten x like what they bought it for like that's

1097
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: what I was looking for on Lord tickets the other day,

1098
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: and like like you can't buy a Lord ticket for

1099
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: like under six hundred dollars, but it's still through the

1100
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: main ticket website, and so I'm like so like now

1101
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: it looks like a t s is charging six dollars,

1102
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: but it's like they're not, but they are. It's just

1103
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: like I hate it, and he's so upset. And this

1104
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: has been like a huge issue, like with especially concert tickets,

1105
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: about like this intermingling of the promoters the tickets sales

1106
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: outlets and how they are like only putting out limited

1107
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: numbers and having like basically controlling the market to their

1108
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: own benom. And we don't need time to get into

1109
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: the like pre credit card situation where like a lot

1110
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: of times credit cards will be like we bought a

1111
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: bunch of tickets and to our appressive members the American

1112
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: Expressed ship like insane, although its not good enough for

1113
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: American Express. They don't like me over there, but I'm

1114
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: coming for you so I can get these tickets. It's

1115
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: such a problem, but there's some hope. There's a website

1116
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: called ticks Are. I'm pretty sure that's how you see it.

1117
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: It's t i x are, and they've implemented what they're

1118
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: calling waitless technology enables those who even shut out of

1119
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: life events to commit with a credit card to purchasing

1120
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: a tickets. Basically, what you're saying, there's enough money on

1121
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: this credit card, should an additional show become added to

1122
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: the schedule. Now, what I like about this is it

1123
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: shows both the artists and the venue how many more

1124
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: like shows you could potentially do, And it invites artists

1125
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: to say like, oh hey, yeah, I will do a

1126
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: second show in this area there's that many tickets sold,

1127
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: It goes through and automatically you're wait listed immediately to

1128
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: join that second showing, which I think is a brilliant idea.

1129
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: Like if a MC wants to be like, hey, we

1130
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: have this many number of shows for this day, but

1131
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: if we have enough people committed, we'll just dedicate another theater.

1132
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, on a big opening night,

1133
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: you pretty much here in all of your theaters into

1134
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: whatever the markel or like big screening is anyway. So

1135
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,959
Speaker 1: it just things like that give me a little bit

1136
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: of hope just because I think it's become too much

1137
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: of an issue. Remember back in the old days. The venue,

1138
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: well what are they The old days didn't even like

1139
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: camp out overnight. To me, I'm like, whatever, this is

1140
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: easier than that. Yeah. I remember my dad and I

1141
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: went to a tick. We went to Tower Records where

1142
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: you could buy where there was a ticketmaster desk to

1143
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: buy tickets to see you. B forty and US three

1144
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: remember their song Candle Loop Island that was like in

1145
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: every like shampoo commercial. But with that ticks or company,

1146
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: are they doing it with big acts or is it

1147
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: mostly small acts? Because I feel like that's the thing

1148
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: that's the piece that has to come into place. I

1149
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: feel like, if you're a big artist, you're probably doing

1150
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: your tour like a g or something like that, and

1151
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: they're already in bed like Live Nation or whatever. They

1152
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: have their way of distributing tickets. I wonder if like

1153
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: it's going to take artists to say I have to

1154
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: break away from this company to be able to even

1155
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: do business with something that's more equitable in terms of

1156
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: like ticket sales. Yeah, they started with a large, like

1157
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: weekend event for something called Dead and Company. So it's like,

1158
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: I think, come on, okay now. Definitely is apparently a

1159
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: band that has old grateful dead members and new ones

1160
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: are like including John Mayer. Got it okay, so den't

1161
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: how many Like when you bought these tickets, you were

1162
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: not just getting tickets to the show, but also like

1163
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: housing and stuff like that, So the tickets were exponentially

1164
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: more expensive than like your average concert ticket. But it

1165
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: sort of showed like that there is resources for this

1166
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of maneuver. So I'm hoping that we can at

1167
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: the very least, like we've just got done talking about

1168
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: how there's not a lot of competition and like a

1169
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: lot of these ticket websites, you know, I think, especially

1170
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: ticket Master and Live Nation have a chokehold on the system.

1171
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know how much competition there will be,

1172
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: and so maybe they'll never need to evolve. But it

1173
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: just seems to me if I could have bought these

1174
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: tickets the same way in two thousand, there should be

1175
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: a better system. So we'd hope for and we'll have

1176
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: to wait and see, But until then, I think we're

1177
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: going to be just at the will of these I mean, really,

1178
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: the only other way is just to wait last minute

1179
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: and then find someone who's desperately trying to unload their tickets,

1180
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: so you can get them at face five. That's typically yeah,

1181
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: but then it's like a huge game of chicken. It is,

1182
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: but you gotta sometimes have the confidence of one thousand sons,

1183
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: like when I went to Coachella in two thousand nine,

1184
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: for like, I think, coach Hell, it's a really good,

1185
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: it's a really good thing to just like wait out because,

1186
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: like I know, I've seen so many Instagram stories recently

1187
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: that are like I'm selling for a hundred dollars my

1188
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: bottom four, like who wants to go? We can do No,

Speaker 1: really I thought with thought because I was someone who

1207
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,959

1219
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: who brings lots of comedy to the world, says what's

1220
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: crazy to me. Ain't never seen Russell Wilson hate on nobody.

1221
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: Bro makes his money, He takes care of his family

1222
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,479
Speaker 1: and minds his business. It don't get no really then

1223
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: that if you've seen a lot of these all men

1224
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: telling women how to get men, that they would never

1225
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: date you in a million years. In the first place,

1226
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: podcast was talking about how Russell Wilson is like weekend

1227
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Sierra wouldn't be with him if he didn't have money,

1228
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: which is hilarious. That man loves her tent toes down.

1229
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: You see it everywhere. He's constantly just praising Sierra, you know,

1230
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: and it's annoying to me because I think Russell Wilson

1231
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: like their relationship is fine, you have to come and

1232
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, she would still want to be the future. No,

1233
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: she wouldn't. He's mean. He's very mean to her. Did

1234
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: you see how many times he wrote when she left

1235
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: dumb if somebody's the simpest future, ninety songs about how's

1236
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna get se her back? And never got her back? Okay,

1237
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: her child calls him daddy. It's not about it's like,

1238
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: get over it anyway. Russell Wilson for loving a woman,

1239
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: and still getting clowned about it's ridiculous. Oh yeah, you

1240
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: know people hate love, you know that hate to see

1241
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: it the most. Um, Let's see some tweets that I like.

1242
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: First one from Christina at Christina E. Cox tweeted today

1243
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: when introducing World War One, a student raised her hand

1244
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: and brought up the death of a certain archduke. Nobody

1245
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: knew his name, so as a hint, I offered that

1246
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: he shares his name with the band Gentle reader. My

1247
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: students asked if there had perhaps been in arch Duke Metallica,

1248
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: But also like, come on, you think the kids no

1249
