00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: only that day. No others. Yeah, any any different from

32
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: any other long weekends. You guys just travel chill. I

33
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: just ate slightly more than usual. Yeah. Same. It's a

34
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: funny thing, right that we allow ourselves to eat so

35
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: much more. On that day? We had no turkey, none, right,

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: which will piss Yeah, No, no turkey. I'm sick of turkey.

37
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm sick of pretending to be something I'm not. Had

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: we had chicken swarm in your face, racists. We had

39
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: hummus tabuli. We had an Egyptian Thanksgiving. Hell yeah, it

40
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: was great. That sounds amazing. One thing that we did

41
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: that I highly recommend is in the past I have

42
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: done the honey baked ham thing for Thanksgiving, and this

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: year we just honey baked ham to the whole Thanksgiving.

44
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: We just went out and got the turkey too, and

45
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: all the sides and put them in the microwave like

46
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: an hour before Thanksgiving. Uh. Then laws were in town,

47
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: so we did it official. But it was so easy.

48
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: That's great, that's smart. Yeah, time is currency to that

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: preparation stuff. Well, we're gonna get to know you a

50
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell

51
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're

52
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: gonna look at what the box office looked like over

53
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: the long weekend. Uh, people were concerned maybe the Irishman

54
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: is gonna funk everything up for the regular box office

55
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: because everybody likes to, you know, stay in and watch

56
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: for our meditations on mortality and being uh and on

57
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: the plight of the elderly, which that ends up being.

58
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: We're looking once again at just the fact that the

59
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: polls are moving for impeachment removed before the long weekend

60
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: for impeachment, but it was like after the news cycle

61
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: closed down, so nobody really talked about that. And it

62
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: seems like the news cycle is still drifting along on

63
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: this idea that people just like, we're not swayed by

64
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: the by the impeachment hearings, and meanwhile it's actually like

65
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: near peak support for impeachment and removal. We're gonna look

66
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: at Bombshells Steve Bullock and Joe Sestak. Uh, would you

67
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: guys know how like what they relate to? If I

68
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: didn't finish the sentence that they dropped out as candidates

69
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: for theocratic you were talking about that movie Bombshell coming out. Uh,

70
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at Jared Kushner taking over his father's

71
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: quest to complete the wall. I believe they have completed

72
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: something like seventy feet two or thirty two. I'm sorry

73
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: I was giving them too much credit. Uh so thirty

74
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: two feet they have miles and miles left to do.

75
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: But his father in law is like, you know, I'll

76
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: put Jyard on it. We're gonna do a royal check.

77
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: And the royals are in the news for a number

78
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: of great reasons. The crown and you know, et cetera.

79
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: Is how I'm sure they'd like us to summarize it.

80
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at NBC continuing to uh drift fox

81
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: word in their overall politics and their stance. They've decided

82
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: to kind of stand up as the right wing mainstream

83
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: media outlet, it seems like. So we're gonna talk about

84
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: that briefly. And of course the Christmas ornament from Amazon,

85
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: the Auschwitz themed Christmas ornament that got taken down, But

86
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: this is part of a long tradition, so we'll talk

87
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: about that. But first, Tammer, we like to ask our guest,

88
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that is revealing

89
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: about who you are? Ah, it's funny that you mentioned.

90
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: I actually recently looked up the origins of the Statue

91
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: of Liberty and it was an Egyptian woman, wasn't. Yeah,

92
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: it is designed after Egyptian woman. It was originally supposed

93
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: to be built for the Suez Canal, and the designer

94
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: when he started researching Egypt, was blown away by the

95
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: pyramids and stuff, and then he saw an Egyptian peasant

96
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: woman and designed the Statue of Liberty. She was supposed

97
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: to stand at the front of the Suez Canal the

98
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: south side holding a torch, and then so in your face, Trump,

99
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: no matter how hard you try, we are in the

100
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: DNA of this country. And I want more people to

101
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: know that. So when they come into American port, they go, oh,

102
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: that's not just a woman holding a torch. That's an immigrant.

103
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: It's an immigrant woman and a poor immigrant woman too.

104
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was a happy search history. Yeah, that's

105
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated. I think Bernie

106
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Sanders is grossly underrated. I think he's added some spice

107
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: to his that. You think he's added some spice to that.

108
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: I think there's a funny. I don't think age matters.

109
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: I think life force matters. Like a Bloomberg. You know,

110
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: Bloomberg is just a couple of months younger than Bernie,

111
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: but he's got a bigger life force. You know, He's

112
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: got this energy about him, and I think Bernie's figured

113
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: out that he's got to tap into some of that,

114
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: and I think he's done a good job so far.

115
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: I think he's Do you think Bloomberg has more life

116
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: than Bernie? I think his energy, the way he speaks

117
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: and stuff. For sure, he looks like a more solid

118
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: person but I think Bernie's upped his game a little bit.

119
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: He used to come up and look a little frazzled sometimes,

120
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, it was a bummer, And there is such

121
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: a thing as ages um it really happens. And I

122
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: think he's he stepped up his game a little Yeah.

123
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: You know, do you think he maybe, like, even though

124
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't hang around with a lot of billionaires, do

125
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: you think he started practicing some of the billionaire's habits

126
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: of like transfusing the blood of children, And how do

127
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: you think he pulled it off? No? You know, I

128
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: think he's one of those people that's that's been pointed

129
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: at true North since he was a young guy. He's

130
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: I think he's the person that got bit by a vampire,

131
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: bit stayed a human. You know, like when I look

132
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: at I think power is the real drug. That should

133
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: be the drug we have a war on because anytime

134
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: somebody has too much power, they become corrupt. That's why

135
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: so many famous people are are upsetting us now. People

136
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: that we thought were heroes they had too much power

137
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: and power. I can't wait for that to happen to

138
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: happen to me. See, but I think we need to

139
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: start treating power like that. If you can't have more

140
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: more than two drinks to drive a car, you shouldn't

141
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: make more than two million dollars a year to to

142
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: steer a country. But you're not connected to human beings anymore.

143
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: And I think Bernie has done a good job staying

144
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: amongst the people and being more like a vampire in

145
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Seattle than one in Transylvania. Yeah. Yeah, that's a really

146
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: good point about the two million dollars and even the

147
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: difference between two million dollars a year, which is too

148
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: much money for anyone to make. Uh, and what like

149
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg has shocking We did like some stat about

150
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: how like a millionaire is somebody like it's the equivalent

151
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: of like five minutes, and a billionaires the equivalent of

152
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: like three weeks or something like that. And it's a

153
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: it's a legitimate thing. It does change people. There's literally

154
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: a course case, a case in the legal system about

155
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: a kid who claimed affluenza. It was like a disease

156
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: from having too much money. Yeah, like it's I think

157
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: people are going to dig more into it when I

158
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: think we're gonna find out it does change people. Yeah,

159
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I think probably in different ways like the Affluenza kid.

160
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: I think was just like I never knew there were

161
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: such things as consequences. I was sheltered from an early age,

162
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: whereas I think we're also talking about like some weird

163
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: like life force draining energy vampire Dracula having um C

164
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: d OCD makes me hate that Dracula so much more. Oh,

165
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: that extra boob just drives you crazy. Um it's in

166
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: a circle, so it's not as though like one like

167
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: one's lops like one of the sides of SID. It's

168
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: like a circle of nine breasts. Yes, I'll accept it.

169
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Very satanic. Wait, Jack, what was that like five minutes

170
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: versus three minus? I wanted to look it up. It's

171
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: it's somebody tweeted it, and it's like stuck in my

172
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: mind forever, and we talked about it in a recent episode.

173
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: But it's basically like, if you convert dollars to seconds,

174
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: a million a million seconds is the equivalent of like

175
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: twelve days is a million seconds, thirty three years is

176
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: a billion seconds. So it's like how long you're allowed

177
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: to live if you have that much money. Yeah, I

178
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: think that. I mean that's eventually probably going to be

179
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: the case. I mean that movie in Time starring Justin

180
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: timber Lake. Ever seen it? Right? But I mean, like

181
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're looking at they're all trying to

182
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: live forever, all the billionaires. They're trying to find ways

183
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: to preserve their being, upload their consciousness to the to

184
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: the way eb I don't know. I called baby Yoda

185
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: baby Yoga hopelessly old, irrelevant baby super producer on it

186
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: isn't informed me that her and her boyfriend have been

187
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: just laughing at me over over the long weekend for

188
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: saying that, and rightly so, I think it's It's definitely

189
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: the most uh old dead thing I've ever said. And

190
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: they got this with the kids with the baby yoga. Um,

191
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: all right, what is something you think is overrated? For sure?

192
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Turkey over Turkey, And this is the first year where

193
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: I claim my identity back. All my life, I've come

194
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: to America with my weird Egyptian food, and I've had

195
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: American kids mock me about my musaka, about my tubuli,

196
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: about my homas, and you know what, you have gross

197
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: things too, and one of them is turkey. I remember

198
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: writing letters to my cousin in Egypt, going, look at

199
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: what these people eat and He's like, what's a jurkey?

200
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: What does he even look like? I said a picture.

201
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: He wrote back a three page letter start to bottom

202
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: the word you so girl, it was a flying ball sack.

203
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: It's a really disgusting who eats that a lot of

204
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: people better have musaka. Thank you very much. Yeah. Also

205
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: sorry going back to your underrated on Bernie Sanders the

206
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: spice and his rice thing. Uh somebody was talking about.

207
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: So we we covered the fact that daval Patrick had

208
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: a event at Morehouse State. I think uh canceled because

209
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: only two people showed up, and those two people were like, yeah,

210
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: we're just curious to see if anyone would show up,

211
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: and so like on his way to the event, he

212
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: canceled it. But Bernie Sanders had had like a huge

213
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: rally at that same college like two days earlier. So, uh,

214
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: you know that the idea that Bernie Sanders is only

215
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: for white dudes, I think is changing this a little bit. Uh,

216
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: and CARDI b exactly exactly what Finally, what is a myth?

217
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: What's something people think it is true? You know to

218
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: be false. I don't want to be too political. Can

219
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: I be political? I don't think Trump is a real

220
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: person like, like, I don't know, UM think I think

221
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: we're here's what. I think. We're in a war right now.

222
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: And I think Trump is a Russian operative. I really do.

223
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: I think, And people can say what they want to say,

224
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: but there's people out there. I think the earth is flat,

225
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: all right, So I think he's a Russian operative. I

226
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: think people are not paying attention to things that are happening.

227
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: When we left Afghanistan, Putin walked in and took over

228
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: the military base that we built. It's now Russian operated.

229
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: There's so many connections between him and Putin. It's like,

230
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: it's not just that he's a bad president. He is

231
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: a trader, and he's probably the most successful trader we've

232
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: ever had in the history of mankind. Yeah, d J.

233
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Daniel happens to agree with you. It is one of

234
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: those things that when you say it, it's like people

235
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: on both sides are like, all right, man, like Trump's

236
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: a Russian spy and like that. That has become like

237
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: a cliche thing to say and like to make fun

238
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: of as a deluded perspective, because I think there are

239
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: some people on the in the liberal side of the

240
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: political equation who have decided that you know, Russia hacked

241
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: the election and that's why Hillary lost, and we don't

242
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: have to change anything about the Democratic Party because it

243
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: was just Russia cheating and that like, so let's just

244
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: solve this crime and everything can go back to normal.

245
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: And I don't think that is necessary, Like, you don't

246
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: have to believe that to also just look at the

247
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: evidence of all the ways that Trump is acting in

248
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: the interests of Russia that like military like leaders are

249
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: all just like, man, this is that's absolutely that's absolutely right.

250
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: I think I was in Santa Monica yesterday on the

251
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: third Fear prominade during a holiday season, and there was

252
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: the most Trump and no but I saw the most people,

253
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: saw the most militarized police truck I've ever seen in

254
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: my life in Santa Monica, and I'm like, what's going on?

255
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: After seeing what's happening in Hong Kong. These are governments

256
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: taking major oversteps into our freedoms, and like, we shouldn't

257
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: be focused on Democrat Republican we should be focused on

258
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: people versus governments. That's the problem. Look at Hong Kong.

259
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Hong Kong is US. That's that's what's freaking me out

260
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: right now. So it's not just about Trump and it's

261
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: not democratic republican. It's about governments. He's changed the water

262
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: in in d C. And politicians now on both sides

263
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: are starting to feel like they can do more to

264
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: us without us biting back. And it's time to sharpen

265
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: our teeth. Yeah hell yeah, man, you should run for

266
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: something totally. I'm already being followed by T s A

267
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: agents constantly in the airport and now they're going at

268
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: least they stuck you with a tale that uh probably

269
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: gives up after fifteen and like, I gotta go on

270
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: break man, I got I get the stupid comedy calendar.

271
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: People know where I am all the time. My life,

272
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: it's a nightmare. Have you got more tattoos since you

273
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: were in last You have to tattoos? Thank you? Everybody

274
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: should check out our instagram. No, I didn't get more.

275
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: Um I usually most of my tattoos always ever since

276
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: I was a kid. They're memorial, so no one's died,

277
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: thank goodness. There's only one that I got that it

278
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: wasn't a memorial, and it was this one. On the

279
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: eleven February eleven, I was in Egypt when performing for

280
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: the protesters when a guy tried to stab me and

281
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: I was in Egyptian, in Egypt, and and that was

282
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: to me, that was like the death of me thinking

283
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I was just an Egyptian. I'm not Egyptian anymore. Egyptian American.

284
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: That's a whole other entity. Holy sh it, since the

285
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: only other thing that's not a human death. Yeah, when

286
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll talk about the box office, but

287
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: just on the on the subject of the irishman. H

288
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: that's actually something that kind of runs throughout because the

289
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: story weaves into, uh, the topic of Jimmy Hoffa, who was,

290
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: according to Robert De Niro's character Frank Shearan, he was

291
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: bigger than Elvis in the fifties. He's bigger than the

292
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Beatles in the sixties, which probably is true for like

293
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: a small portion of the population. I don't know if

294
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: it was true for everyone in America. But he is,

295
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, frequently giving speeches. He was this really powerful

296
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: figure who was frequently giving speeches about you know, how

297
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: the people need to unite, the people and the workers

298
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: need to unite against capital and the government. Right and solidarity,

299
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: yea solidarity, class solidarity, And that is something that's a

300
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: concept that just completely evaporated, like during during the eighties,

301
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: Reagan just basically killed the unions. And I do wonder,

302
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: you know how much the fact that the only thing

303
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: we know Jimmy Hoffa as today is that guy who

304
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: disappeared who might be buried under like you name it,

305
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: just like an urban legend. How much of that is

306
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: just you know, the fact that labor is no longer

307
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: even a concept to us, Like I wasn't even raised

308
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: with a concept of you know, labor solidarity and like

309
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: working class solidaries. Yeah. Um, all right, Well we'll get

310
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: more into the Irishman and more into the weekend box

311
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: office after this brief commercial break, and we're back and timer,

312
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: you just told Anna that your mom says Happy Thanksgiving.

313
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: Your mom and super producer on a hosny a are acquainted. Yes, yeah,

314
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: uh that's I just think that's very cool. All right,

315
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 1: let's talk movies. And an Anna said, yeah, it just

316
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: messaged her like it was like her home. Uh, so

317
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: let's talk about movies. Uh this weekend, did you guys

318
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: watch many movies this weekend? Any movies this weekend? Long weekend?

319
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: I saw Knives Out. I really want to see that

320
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: it's I really liked it, big fan, I'm gonna go

321
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: see it again. That actually had a big It overperformed

322
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: expectations and it made like forty one million dollars at

323
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: the box office, which for a movie that wasn't like

324
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: previously existing I p and it's like an adult movie

325
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: for adults about adult things. Uh. I think Hollywood was like,

326
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: what the fuck? How is this? I mean, has marketed well,

327
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: like that trailer was like, oh yeah, I want to

328
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: see that. I think he also has like I think

329
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: maybe the Last Jedi probably threw people off the scent

330
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: a little bit because he it was like this massive blockbuster.

331
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: But I think he is like one of the few filmmakers,

332
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: like you know, Jordan Peel and like a couple other

333
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: filmmakers who is a draw in and of himself, because

334
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: like his movies are just like generally interesting. Um. But

335
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: so that that's a good one. I have not seen it. Well,

336
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: we'll give people a little time to see it. Uh.

337
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: We also we also watched I think all three of

338
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: us saw The Irishman. I haven't seen it yet. Oh

339
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: you didn't see I didn't because it's not a man

340
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: who was bitten by a radioactive Irish, So I'm not

341
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: going to see it on those grounds. Yeah. Well usually, Well,

342
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: if I do see it, i'll hate it because it's

343
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: not about that. I might see it even though you

344
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: know that you'll keep waiting for that. I'm gonna wait

345
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: for the moment when the Irish person who is radioactive

346
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: bites a man, and until that happens, I'll hate it. Yeah.

347
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: I mean, it would explain what happened to Robert de

348
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Niro's eyes, because he has I don't know if you've

349
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: ever seen Black Sunday, the Johnny Depp movie about Whitey Bulger. Oh,

350
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: Black Mass, Black's Was it called Black Sunday. It's definitely

351
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: not called Black Sunday. Is it called Baby Yoga? It's

352
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: called Baby Yoga? And uh no, it's called Black Mass.

353
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: Have you seen that? I have not seen it. He

354
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: is terrifying looking and like they give him these like

355
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: weird blue eyes that are clearly done in some sort

356
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: of post effect. But DeNiro is the same thing going

357
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: on throughout this movie. It's not it's not enough to

358
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: like distract you. Um, but timer you saw the Irishman,

359
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: you liked it. I did, surprisingly because I have a

360
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: really complicated relationship with masculinity, you know, like I grew

361
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: up with a dad that was physically abusive, and then

362
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: I grew up in a boxing gym where I was

363
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: hungry on a lot of like meat heads and stuff.

364
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: And at a time when you know they boys don't

365
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: cry is like the statement du jour, you know what

366
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean. Like my I used to joke that the

367
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: first time my dad said stop crying, be a man

368
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: was after a doctor slapped me and said it's a boy.

369
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: So I've always had this complex relationship with it, and

370
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: I and I did. I always thought of Scorsesey after

371
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: a taxi driver, like he was categorized as like violence porn.

372
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: But then I saw this movie with a friend. It

373
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: was daytime, it was an IFC theater, it was in

374
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: the village. I'm like, this is a perfect place to

375
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: see it. Why not let's go see it theater style.

376
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: And I thought three and a half hours was too long,

377
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: and three and a half hours plus Scorsesey felt heavy

378
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: to me, and I was even pre planning out my

379
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: pea breaks and and I didn't man. I sat through

380
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: it and there was this really nice, uh additional element

381
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: of like almost comedic like ingredients with like the way

382
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: he used fashion and music and really subtle like black

383
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: belt level acting um with the way they played off

384
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: of each other. It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters,

385
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: but with human dynamics. They were so on the a

386
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: game and it was I, I don't see old guys

387
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: like that. And then the nice thing was, even though

388
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: there was violence and even though there was like a

389
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: lot of this machism throughout the film, it showed a

390
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: vulnerability that I haven't seen in a score score CC

391
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: film before, about masculinity and about life, and it was

392
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: a little deeper. It really felt like something he would

393
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: do in the final chapters of his life. Yeah, I

394
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: definitely think it's worth seeing. But I will say that,

395
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: and it's awesome to see Joe Pesci back again. He

396
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been in movies for ais and it was a

397
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: different Joe Pesci. I felt like it was like he

398
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: was very handsome and winning and like sort of the

399
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: guy like instead of being like sort of the somewhat

400
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: damage you know, sidekick or you know, like guy over

401
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: compensating for something, he was just like smooth operator. Joe

402
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: Pesci totally kind of smooth and wise, like it was

403
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: a calm Joe Pesci, which which was a nice surprise

404
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: because he has been working on his music career. I

405
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: mean he's got bars. Yeah, he's got bars. Uh. Frozen

406
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: two has continued. That's another kind of piece of box

407
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: office information from over the long weekend is that Frozen

408
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: two has continued to dominate. Now is officially another kind

409
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: of global phenomenon, just like the first one you did?

410
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: What do you think? It's fine? So that's the range

411
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: of responses from adults that I've heard, is that it's

412
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: fine down to it's bad. And from adults about how

413
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: their kids experienced the movie. It was like, I don't

414
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: it seemed like it wasn't made for them necessarily, or

415
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: like it had like weird concepts that weren't necessarily going

416
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: to like resonate with children. Yeah. Yeah. So I described

417
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: it as Um the Fifth Element meets Annihilation because they

418
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: go into this like annihilation Shimmer sounds almost like it's

419
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: like the matrix sequels like levels of like metaphysical things

420
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: like physical metaphysical. In the Shimmer, they have to figure out,

421
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: like what's this mysterious like presence that is Um summoning Elsa,

422
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: and it turns out there there's a whole fifth element

423
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: storyline that it's like, yeah, I can see it very much,

424
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: not resonating. I was sitting next to two children on

425
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: either side of me, neither of them were mine, but

426
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't have any children, um, and I feel like

427
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: they were like not really into it, or they weren't

428
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: quite getting what was happening. And then the songs were,

429
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: I would say, on the whole better than the songs

430
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: from the first movie. But there they attempted to do

431
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: another like big let It Go um number and it

432
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: just the the let It Go song, and this one

433
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: didn't measure up. I think yeah, And then then yeah,

434
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: and then there's like this weird um there's like a

435
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: subplot where the dude Christopher I think is his name,

436
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: the guy who's wants to fuck his reindeer by the way,

437
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: that's like a story right relationship with his reindeer that

438
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: his like troll family, don't ask, finds a little bit

439
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: like weird. They're like, ah, this guy, yeah, I didn't

440
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: remember that from the first one. But then that carries

441
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: over into the second movie, and there's like a moment

442
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: where an eye straight up. I thought he was about

443
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: to fund his rain. He like looks at his reindeer,

444
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: and then he's like, I like reindeer better than I

445
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: like people, and I'm like, oh my god, he's about

446
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: to kiss his reindeer. Um. But then he's actually like

447
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: working up the nerve to ask Anna or Anna or

448
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: whatever that character's name is to marry him, and like

449
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: that's a whole subplot, and I'm just like this it's

450
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: it was okay, but I didn't. I didn't like it

451
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: that much. I actually watched the first one over the

452
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: weekend with my three year old, who claimed he had

453
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: seen it, but I realized halfway through he had just

454
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: seen the YouTube clip of Let It Go a number

455
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: of times. Uh, and it was like he he really

456
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. He loved it. But my theory with these

457
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: movies has always been it's like becoming massive on the

458
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: strength of it being the first movie for young women

459
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: based on the most important and identifiable relationship they have

460
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: in their lives, which is, you know, their relationship with

461
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: other young women in the face of you know, impossible

462
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: social standards and men who are constantly trying to seduce

463
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: and murder them. You know. It's like all Disney movies

464
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: up to that point, including this one, had been written

465
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: by men as like, Okay, the woman then needs a

466
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: man to come in and like save her, and uh,

467
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: this one by accident, like it was going to be that,

468
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: and then they wrote let It Go and the song

469
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: was so good they were like, shit, Elsa needs to

470
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: be a protagonist too, and so they rewrote it to

471
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: be about Elsa and Anna as the protagonists and made

472
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: the love interest like have a turn at the end.

473
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: Uh spoiler alert for the first Frozen. But I think

474
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: that just like that idea that they accidentally stumbled on

475
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: because Let It Go was so good, is still kind

476
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: of carrying these movies that seem to be based on

477
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: what everybody's saying, somewhat flawed movies in terms of like

478
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: what they deliver in terms of just sheer like movie

479
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: going experience, uh, kind of carries them through to be

480
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: like these massive global Uh awesome, you guys both saw

481
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: it with kids like that. That's the main reason why

482
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: I can't see it. I feel like movie theater should

483
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: have like child caddies. If you're a single guy and

484
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: you want to see a Disney movie, like would would

485
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: you like it's you're doing child? You can't see the loone, buddy,

486
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: it's too weird. That happened to me with the Lego

487
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: movie and I immediately went home and started having kids

488
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 1: to happy Yeah, yeah, I felt too awkward. Bring your

489
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: own cat, made my own child, Caddy. Well, check out

490
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: the episode on Frozen of The Bechtel Cast where we

491
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: definitely thank you so much people I don't know. Caitlin

492
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: hosts one of the most popular best podcasts on our network,

493
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: the Betel Cast, which is each episode you guys break

494
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: down a movie from your from a feminist perspective. Indeed, Yeah,

495
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: and any movies like Frozen are marking this like trend

496
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: towards you know, more feminist films. Uh. And though that

497
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: movie like did everything by accident kind of, but it

498
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: was it was well received, so um. And then you know,

499
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: after that, we got mo Anna and you know on

500
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: all these other properties that do have more feminist undertones

501
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: overtones in them, So you know, we're seeing a trend

502
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: toward more progressive representation people. People get mad at me

503
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: for not mentioning Brave, which we just released, Yeah, and

504
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: a Pixar movie we just released an episode how did

505
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: the movie hold up next to, um, well, next to

506
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: the feminist text that is broken right? Um? Pretty well?

507
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, and that was before anyone was really attempting

508
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: to do anything super feminist, at least in the mainstream

509
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: and especially in like Pixar things. But because it was

510
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: like a woman at the helm of that movie. It

511
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: was you know, her story. It was based on uh,

512
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, her relationship with her daughter. She got taken

513
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: off the project because John Lasseter is a piece of ship.

514
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, it was like her kind of calling

515
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: the creative shots for the most part. Uh. And uh

516
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: that's why we like have this nice movie about a

517
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: mother daughter relationship and this you know, like strong female

518
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: protagonist holds up pretty well. Um all right, let's talk.

519
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: Let's check in with a political world real quick, guys.

520
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: The polls prior to the long weekend started moving. I

521
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: think I think it's basically there's a weak leg built

522
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: into the polls, like a week long, seven day lag

523
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: built into the polls because you need to pull people

524
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: on how they're feeling, and it takes about seven days

525
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: for like to complete uh worthy poll. But that's not

526
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: a thing that the media likes to acknowledge because then

527
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: it just kind of makes them look less relevant. Uh

528
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: So there was like, as like Wednesday happened, finally started

529
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: registering some of those polls, and uh, the people's up

530
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: haggans moved back to where they were when the call

531
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: memo slash transcript was first released, which was kind of

532
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: the height of thinking that the president should be impeached

533
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: and yeah and removed from office. But so, I you know,

534
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: we talked about this before on yesterday's episode, but it's

535
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: still doesn't seem like it's kind of being registered in

536
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. I'm not sure if it's like a

537
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: cocktail of Thanksgiving hangover and it being old news by

538
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: the time the journalists get back to their desk, But

539
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: it seems like people are still just kind of coasting

540
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: off of that. Well, what are the Democrats gonna do now,

541
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: because they don't you know, they don't have all the

542
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: evidence they need or do the Democrats have the evidence

543
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: they need? And it's just it's democracy, it's not burger king.

544
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: You can't have it your way. The guy's a criminal

545
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: and there's evidence pointing towards him being so that public

546
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: opinion doesn't matter. Records opinion. Does tired of like the

547
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: media treating our our politics like it's a popularity contest.

548
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: I love high school in the nineties, do you know

549
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, what's right? We have to focus

550
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: on what's right. Criminal he's been he there's evidence against

551
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: him being a criminal, and I don't care how how

552
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: snowflake conservatives feel right now. I would agree with that.

553
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: I also think that the focus on the public opinion

554
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: is basically, you know, the Republicans are looking at that

555
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: as to like from the Senate side, whether it's going to, like,

556
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: whether it's going to be unpopular for them and for

557
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: their party to just sort of push this guy through

558
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: and that's like to effectively actually have him removed from office.

559
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: I think that needs to be the message that Republican

560
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: senators get, is that like it's bad for their party

561
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: long term and short term, uh for them to just

562
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: be like, now, whatever he can do, whatever he wants, um,

563
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: which I I think is the actual truth of it.

564
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of like whether we can get

565
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: to that truth through all the you know, Fox News

566
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: spinning and all the bullshit. I think he's getting progressively

567
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: more and more dangerous because as you get more and

568
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: more power, He's getting more and more drunk, so his

569
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: his actions are becoming even more and more erratic. You

570
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like it's I it's such a problem. Yeah,

571
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: especially for an Egyptian. Sorry to say that, but I

572
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: mean for I just one last quick thing is I

573
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't realize that for people

574
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: who immigrated here from countries where we had dictators, we

575
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: had people that would like praise other dictators. You're giving

576
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: away your freedom. It's not This isn't about right or

577
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: left or about who wins this or that. You're giving

578
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: away your freedom, and you're allowing politicians, not just him,

579
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: but every politician watching him who wants to be a

580
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: politician to go. I can manipulate the public. I can

581
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: I can get become president and then make money off

582
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: of it and scam people, use mob like behaviors. It's terrible. Yeah,

583
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: I mean, is that something that you recognize from like

584
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: the rise of dictators. Leaving Egypt was like leaving an

585
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: abusive alcoholic father. And then I came to American it

586
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: was Brady Bunch Dad, And now all of a sudden,

587
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: Brady Bunch Dad has alcohol in his breath and I'm like,

588
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: I've smelled that before. Yeah, I've smelled that before, and

589
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: I know that smell. And people who are American citizens

590
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: should talk to people that have had dictators in their

591
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: country and say, what does he smell? Like? Yeah, they're like,

592
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: I read, I read. I've talked about this before on

593
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: the show, but I read a old report from somebody

594
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: who was an expert on the rise of Nazism in Germany,

595
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: and they said that alarm bell started going off in

596
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: their head when Republicans began opposing Obamacare on just purely

597
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: ideological grounds and just like it wasn't based on any

598
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: like basis in reality or like what you know, what

599
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: what the strength of the arguments was. It was just

600
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: this pure the ideological thing that I don't know. It

601
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: seems like people who pay attention to history are all

602
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: like of that same minds who grew up around dictators.

603
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: Like this is a really slippery slope and we're just

604
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: kind of ignoring it. My grandfather used to say, history

605
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: may repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. It's this

606
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: cold quote that he heard. So he said, the way

607
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: you need to look at history books is like a

608
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: Farmer's Almanac. Yeah, not like an old book. Not like

609
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: old things that happen, but new things that can. That's

610
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: the reason why you should read this protection of events,

611
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: because we're predictable. Where were the still the same human beings?

612
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: We still have the same software in our brains. Yeah. Um,

613
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: Steve Bullock and Joe Sastack dropped out of the Democratic

614
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: race yea. Yeah, now that we recognize their name from

615
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: the recap recap, that seems like big news. But I like,

616
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: I none of us know who these people are, so

617
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: I won't even like it. Just seems like this is

618
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: a commentary on how unnecessarily full of the Democratic field

619
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: was already in the first place before you know, Bloomberg.

620
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: I was going to vote for them, damn it. I

621
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: love Michael Michael. Uh just other random uh Steve, Joe

622
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: Michael uh so uh kind of big news that's not

623
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: being covered as much as that Jared Kushner is now

624
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: taking over the border wall project. Um so yeah, there

625
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: that should do it. Uh. He recently, you know, nailed

626
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: the Middle East piece plan. I think the we've achieved

627
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: piece in the Middle East. Uh. And so now Trump

628
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: has brought in Kushner and Kushner immediately enlisted the help

629
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 1: of we Work founder and class old douchebag Adam Newman too,

630
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: like give him advice on how he should get this

631
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: wall built. Or actually I think he asked Adam Newman

632
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: for advice on the Middle East. Uh. And Newman bragged

633
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: to people that Kushner and Mohammed had been Solomon would

634
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: save the world with his advice. And when people were like, uh,

635
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: mbs just murdered a journalist, he was like, yeah, he

636
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: just needs the right mentor, which is such a douche

637
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: she uh tech industry thing. Mentorship is the most important

638
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: force out there. So after three years of doing that,

639
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: Trump moved him over to the wall project because, Uh,

640
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: the only new stretch of wall they've built since he

641
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: was elected on build that wall, chance, is thirty two

642
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: ft long. Uh yeah, but it's like five feet high,

643
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: so they've actually it's actually done a lot, and what

644
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: they erected can be cut through easily with a saw

645
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: that costs less than a hundred dollars um. Trump's walls

646
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: is effective as those cowboy hat toilet paper things that

647
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: we sit on in public restrooms. Well, speaking of an

648
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: STI would see through this paper. Speaking of paper, the

649
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: most successful stretch of Trump's border wall, or at least

650
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: the longest, was actually one made by children out of

651
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: craft paper during the White House Halloween party. Actually paper.

652
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: It was just like pieces of brick colored paper that

653
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: were stretched across the wall in the White House around

654
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: the words build that wall, with like messages from children

655
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: written on it. But what could the messages be that like, yeah,

656
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: President Trump, let's be racist. Like there's literally no teachable

657
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: skill that's being honed. There. Wait, we zoom in on

658
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: this photos. I wasn't able to find zoomed in picture.

659
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: It also could just all be things that the White

660
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: House interns like built to make it look like they

661
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: had the support of the fifth grade demographic. I zoomed

662
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: in on one and it said, dear Mr. President, your

663
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: hair tastes like cotton candy. So anyways, it seems like

664
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: Kushner really has work cut out for him. Uh. In

665
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: order to meet his goal of around four hundred miles

666
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: by the election. Again, they've built thirty two ft in

667
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: three years. He's gonna build four hundred miles in the

668
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: next twelve months. Uh, they will have to accelerate the work.

669
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: According to Kushner at least fourfold, which is a lot.

670
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 1: That also would only leave you with less than a mile.

671
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: But the government will have to obtain hundreds of privately

672
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: owned parcels of land in Texas. Uh, then build on

673
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: the land in a year. And that that's like the

674
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: technical difficulty that you know, It's basically another intractable problem

675
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: that Trump is just like, well, my son in law

676
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: is a genius, because Ivanka tells me he's a genius.

677
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna throw him at the problem. And

678
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: then when he says he did a good job, I

679
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: will assume the problem has been solved, because that was

680
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: the promise. Right in three years, I would build four

681
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: hundred feet of wall for it. Yeah, exactly, except you

682
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: need for forty miles or Uh. He's also just frustrating

683
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: the hell out of people who are already working on

684
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: it because he came in and was like, all right,

685
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 1: here's how we're gonna do things. We're gonna go faster,

686
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, just move faster. Uh. And yeah,

687
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,919
Speaker 1: they're just annoyed because he has no knowledge or experience, uh,

688
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: has no idea about how the government would go about

689
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: procuring those lands. That they need to procure. Uh. He

690
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: believes that they should start live streaming the building of

691
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: the wall, which would not be popular with the construction

692
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: companies because that is, you know, it's like being nanny stated,

693
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: and also uh like would give away, you know, their

694
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: techniques of how they were building. Its boring if I

695
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: want to watch a wall being built, I wanted to

696
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: be exciting. Yeah. And the other main problem with the

697
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: project thus far as it's being headed up like all

698
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: projects for the past three years, by somebody who changes

699
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: his mind constantly, and is you know, one over by

700
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: these like fifth grade notions that you should build a

701
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: big ditch with pointy spikes and paint the wall black

702
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: so it'll be hot to the touch. These are all

703
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: Trump ideas. Um. So yeah, it's all just kind of

704
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: a complete mess. Uh. No one actually seems to want

705
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: this to happen other than Trump, and Trump doesn't even

706
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: really want it to happen. He just knows that his

707
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: base will hold him to it in the next election.

708
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: But he's also been caught saying behind like off the record,

709
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: that he's doesn't give a shit about the wall, but

710
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: that like his base wants it. And there's also the

711
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: matter of working with construction contractors. Who if Trump cared

712
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: about how contractors felt, that he would have paid them

713
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: at some point in the past. He doesn't have a

714
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: long history of like contracting work and never paying for it.

715
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: Ever ever pays unless you take him to court, in

716
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: which case he will draw it out and extended legal

717
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 1: battles and make it cost you money to get paid money.

718
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: Uh And he has made some pretty impressive walls, like

719
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: the wall that now exists between us and our allies,

720
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: the wall that now exists between Americans that were one's neighbors,

721
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: between decency and what's right. He's been thanksgiving tables. Um,

722
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: there's there's one other problem with the border wall that

723
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 1: I hadn't actually thought about. That they're trying to build

724
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: it on the border, but US crews can't go into

725
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: Mexican territory, like, so if they're live streaming it, like,

726
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: they would be constantly breaking the law because they're having

727
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: to like go on both sides. You can't just build

728
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: a wall from one side. You need like workers on

729
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: both sides of the wall, and like you need them

730
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: to have the freedom to go from one side of

731
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: the project to the other. Uh. So, that's they would

732
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: be illegally crossing the border thousands of times on a

733
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: live screen. The border is that a real thing too.

734
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: It's almost like when you're a kid and you're like,

735
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: that's how Lava Mexico. Yeah, And because of all these concerns,

736
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: Kushner has continued to push forward with a twenty four

737
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: hour camera wall idea. Anyways, so it'll be interesting, uh,

738
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: and we will keep tabs on it because surely it

739
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: will be the next project and problem that they solved

740
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: for all Americans. We're gonna take one more break and

741
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back and uh. Super

742
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: producer Sophie Lichterman today came into the office talking about

743
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: something that I've been hearing a lot of people talk

744
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: about lately, and that is the Royals, the British royal family.

745
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: I've been hearing them talk about it because of The Crown,

746
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: which just dropped its third season, the first season with

747
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: its new cast with Olivia Coleman and other people. But

748
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: Olivia Coleman playing the queen. She's always playing a queen,

749
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: always playing that queen, the favorite I know. She was

750
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: so good now, so that's big news. And apparently she

751
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: in this season is sort of hardening into the sort

752
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: of stoic meny who killed Princess d Uh? I don't

753
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: know that's it's a wild conspiracy theory. But there's also

754
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: a new article that Camilla, Prince Charles's wife, who his

755
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: wife uh, is being groomed to be the next queen.

756
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: So this is something I didn't know. Guys. Queen Elizabeth's

757
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: husband is a prince because he was not born in England.

758
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: He's Greek, and so they're like, oh God, what are

759
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: you doing? So he has no claim to any power,

760
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: he can't become king. But if Prince Charles becomes king

761
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: after the Queen passes on, his wife would be able

762
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: to be queen because she was born in England and

763
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: has like vague royal connections and the duchess yeah, the

764
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: Duchess of something or other. So the reason I think

765
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: she is the duchess is possibly by marriage from her

766
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: first marriage. I don't know that this could be totally wrong,

767
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: but so an interesting thing about her and Prince Charles

768
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: is that like they have been in love since they

769
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: were like children, and then like the queen split them

770
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: up and like sent him to his like royal military

771
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: service in Costa Rica and like her elders married her

772
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: off because they didn't think she was worthy of the

773
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: of the crown. And so this is like part of

774
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: a long ongoing uh story that you know. What's crazy

775
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: about this story makes me think of how phenomenal Prince

776
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: the Musician was. Every time you say the word prince,

777
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: my brain has to go, not that prince, not that one.

778
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: That's how big of an impact he's out of my life.

779
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: And then you have to downgrade and yeah, way cooler.

780
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: Our prince is way cooler than your England unfortunately. Um.

781
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, so there's all sorts of intrigue about what

782
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: will happen when Queen Elizabeth retires or passes away. Uh.

783
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: And then there's also the Prince Andrew stuff, which I

784
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have you seen this, You

785
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: heard about this? I heard about it. Yeah, so he's

786
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: a pervert. Oh who was all over that Lolita Express

787
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: and uh, little Saint Jeffrey Island. Did you guys see

788
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: the pictures of that island? So gross? It's gross, but

789
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: it's also the island looks really nice. Yeah, yeah, and

790
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: that is what's important. I mean, the real estate value

791
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: on that. You guys have to understand what a difference

792
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew would make if he was Prince Andy. It's

793
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: like putting shorts on cops, Like, I know you're so

794
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 1: an authority figure, but your cue now, Yeah, shorts really

795
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: do undermine I tried to wear shorts wants to work,

796
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: and people just wouldn't even look at me when I

797
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: try to like make meetings with so like the blonde

798
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: mustache of clothes that there's a whole beat in the

799
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: Irishman about the lack of seriousness. Uh, some wearing shorts

800
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: and to meet with half a h and wear shorts

801
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: to a meeting and doesn't go well. Uh. There's a

802
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 1: stand up comedy book called don't wear shorts on stage

803
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: because people won't take you seriously as a comedian if

804
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: you're wearing shorts, no one wants to see your legs. Yeah,

805
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a comedian

806
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: wear shorts. I've seen it. I've seen it, but it's

807
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's not good, especially in certain communities like Florida.

808
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: Some of the resort communities just comics and shorts. I'm like,

809
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm very uncomfortable that's funny that I haven't seen it

810
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: because resort communities are where most of my favorite comedians performed. Yeah,

811
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of the resort circuit. So checking

812
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: in with the NBC story there, there's additional details coming

813
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: out about Gabrielle Union's her time hosting America's Got Talent

814
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: after she was fired recently, I think the last couple

815
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: of weeks. So she said that Jay Leno made a

816
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: racist joke about Koreans eating cats. She complained, and they

817
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: fired her. The timing kind of lined up. She also

818
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: said that she was told her hair was too black,

819
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: and she quote Hunka fi No, that's not nobody said

820
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: Hunka fy it. But they did say her hair was

821
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: too black. And yeah, it's just it just generally sounds like,

822
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, NBC just sounds so fucking toxic, like

823
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: at every level, uh, every behind the scenes story that

824
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: comes out like there there was all of the Roman

825
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: Pharaoh stories where he was trying to break the Weinstein

826
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: story at NBC News and they were just you know,

827
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: shooting holes in it from every angle, like just trying

828
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: to take it down. And then I was just talking

829
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: about how their headlines seemed to be drifting, sort of

830
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: right word in there, uh you know. There they had

831
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: They wrote the famous headline that the first day of

832
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: impeachment hearings lacked pizzazz, lacked the pizzazz that was going

833
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: to capture America's imagination. Um and and then they had

834
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: one about how firing uh the people the perpetrators of

835
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: in the me too movement wasn't going to solve everyone's problem.

836
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: Uh So, just just interesting keep an eye on NBC,

837
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: you guys. Uh And finally, I wanted to talk to

838
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: you guys about Amazon. This is sort of part of them,

839
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: the nicest company good stuff. Yeah. Uh So, there's an

840
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: ongoing trend of people just finding the most fucked up

841
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: things on Amazon stores. We did a story a couple

842
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: of months ago about how there are all sorts of

843
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: dangerous children's toys that you can find on Amazon. But

844
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: somebody recently found a Auschwitz themed Christmas ornament. Uh that Yeah,

845
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: And I mean there's some terrible Christmas ornaments on the internet.

846
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: There's one for a kiss tour bus that you can

847
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: find speak for yourself. I own it and I love it.

848
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, who wouldn't want Santa delivering presents below a

849
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 1: tiny replica of the place where seventy year old Jin

850
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: Simmons gives women vintage U T I s. But there's

851
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: also this year's ornament from the n r A featuring

852
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree inside a cozy house with just National

853
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: Rifle Association written under it. But the product that really

854
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: caught people's attention, along with a similar bottle opener, was

855
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: this like Auschwitz themed Christmas ornament um And yeah, the

856
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: Ashwitz memorial tweeted selling quote Christmas ornaments with images of

857
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: Auschwitz does not seem appropriate. Auschwitz on a bottle opener

858
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: is rather disturbing and disrespectful. We asked Amazon to remove

859
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: the items of those suppliers and they did remove them.

860
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: But this is sort of part of a long term

861
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: trend of Amazon going viral for you know, not screening

862
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: the ship that they sell in their store, taking it down,

863
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: and then doing literally nothing to change their process. There

864
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: was a story that went viral where they were selling

865
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: like Nazi flags and a shirt that said I Love Himmler,

866
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: and somebody complained to them in in in a message

867
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: and they responded, We're like, we'll we'll take it down.

868
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: We'll take it down. And then a week later that

869
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: person got an add on Amazon that was like, you

870
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: might like this Nazi flag. There's also a Jake Saw

871
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: puzzle of dak ow Um wow yeah, and a T

872
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: shirt that says I love Heinrich Himler. So I said

873
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 1: about but they're so let them. Let them have their things.

874
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: As a half Jew, let them have their things. I

875
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: think hate creates cancer, and these people want that kind

876
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: of thing in their house if they think that makes

877
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: me a good person. Like there's a guy in my

878
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: block name Mike. I don't like Mike because but his

879
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: his dad passed away recently. I'm not going to put

880
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: up signs that say, hey, Mike's dad's dad right, because

881
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a piece of ship person, you know what

882
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean. These racists are. Basically, it's not that they're racist,

883
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: it's the piece of ship people. They're bad people. Nobody

884
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: wants to live next to them, not even white, not

885
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: even good white people. So let them have their ornaments

886
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 1: so they can be reminded of their disgusting hate and

887
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: let it eat away at themselves. Get I hope they

888
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: get cancer and die. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. Maybe it's

889
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: good for the soul. Maybe it's like a screen, like

890
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: they are put there as bait so that we can

891
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: figure out who the awful people are buying these things.

892
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: And I don't know what would be done about that.

893
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: It's like when you peanut pool and it turns purple

894
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,720
Speaker 1: all around you. We should have like a Nazi booby

895
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: traps and then these these guys are surrounded by swastika

896
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: colored purple water becauys, you would be violating their freedom

897
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: of speech, and uh yeah they apparently Amazon has policies

898
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: that prohibit hate speech. Uh, and that a policy applies

899
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: to everything except books, music, video, and DVD. So there's

900
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: a ton of white supremacists literature available through Amazon. That's

901
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: when you're too drunk. See like I think when you're

902
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: when you're a copy and you tell people you can't drive,

903
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,479
Speaker 1: they make you try to touch the tip of your nose.

904
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: I think with people that make too much money, that

905
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: have too much wealth in this country, we should ask

906
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,479
Speaker 1: them what's more important? People are money? If they say money,

907
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: they're too drunk. They're too drunk to communicate. They would

908
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: never they know not to say money. Well, we can

909
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: trick them. They're very trickable because they're drunk, right, but

910
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: they this is one of those things where they are

911
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: clearly slurring their words and people are just like, that's fine,

912
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: that's it is what it is. Or I guess people

913
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: are just so used to the person being money drunk,

914
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: because yeah, Amazon isn't changing anything, and uh, they just

915
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: don't seem to have the incentive. I mean, like for

916
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: a company that has as much money as they do,

917
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: for a CEO who has as much money as Jeff Bezos, although, uh,

918
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: you know what, our thoughts and prayers go out to

919
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: him because Bill Gates just passed him as the richest

920
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: man in the world against h so you know what

921
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: we're all thinking about Jeff Bezos this holiday season. But

922
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: the idea that they couldn't do something to address this

923
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: problem like that it's just a problem with Gale, which

924
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: seems to be what people are arguing, is just so

925
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: beyond absurd. I don't know what to what to do

926
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: with that. There's one consideration I think about, which is that,

927
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't that long ago that we had

928
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: the fifteen year anniversary of the Internet, and I think,

929
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, like fifteen years after we discovered fire, so

930
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: much arson you know. I mean, so I think we're there.

931
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: We do need to think about it in a way

932
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: where like, yeah, screw Amazon, but it also we should

933
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: start to operate as a village and be like, how

934
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: do we want to handle fire? The responsibility of fire?

935
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: How do we what are our what are our version

936
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: of fireman? What are and fire people? What is our

937
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: version of a smoke alarm? What's our you know what

938
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean? We need to we need to think that way,

939
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: like holistically as a as a society to protect ourselves

940
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: from hate speech and violence and things like that. Yeah,

941
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, in the broad sweep of history, the Internet

942
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest inventions of all the time.

943
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: And anytime there's a huge invention that shifts the grounds

944
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: of you know, wealth and just you know, how the

945
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: world works, there's usually big monopolies that spring up in

946
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: the aftermath, like the monopolies that happened after the railroads

947
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: and you know, things like that. But it's just, yeah,

948
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: it's frustrating that people don't seem to be worried about

949
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: her or seem to get that like it's something that

950
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: needs correcting necessarily. So that's suppressing. Yeah, Well, Tamar has

951

953
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: though we're talking about stuff because it's pressing, you know,

954
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: but it's chatting with smart people and we're still in control.

955
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: I feel like we're like that, we're they're poking us

956
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: with the bear. They can't control us. Even French people

957
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: cut off a king's head, and we're tougher than the French.

958

976
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,360

991
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: smooth and green it's a great question. I definitely think

992
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: First of all, I definitely think it's Harry. Okay, so

993
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: team hairy, team Harry and green. However, I don't think

994
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: it would be green if it was hairless, because isn't

995
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: he just green? For we don't I don't know if

996
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: we know what is skin color is right, because I

997
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 1: was watching The Grinch last night and it's the new

998
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: like Netflix one that uh, I don't even know who

999
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: voices the Grinch or like who's in it, uh, but

1000
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: they At one point there's a joke that the Grinch

1001
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: was buying green hair dye because he's a little getting

1002
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: a little long in the tooth. What I'm saying, I

1003
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a spectrum. Like I think

1004
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: that the shaft is a dark green, and then on

1005
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: the right before the head it's like a lime green.

1006
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: And then it goes back to like a lot of

1007
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: dicks are neopolitan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, shades of greens are

1008
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: three shades of green. I've always said that. See I

1009
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: think I'm team smooth Dick, smooth dis yeah, but but

1010
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: green because I think his in his green in addition

1011
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: to his hair being green. Interesting. A couple of tweets
