Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. We welcome to The Daily Show.
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Costa. We are back on the air. Holy shit,
Speaker 1: it's been five months. Man.
Speaker 2: I love my family, but not for five months. This
Speaker 2: is my first night, and I'm very excited to be here.
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to host a late night show. I
Speaker 2: was hoping that it would be on a major network,
Speaker 2: but I'll take whatever channel this has gone. Now we
Speaker 2: have a great show for you tonight, So let's get
Speaker 2: into the headlines. Obviously, there's one big story in the
Speaker 2: world right now that we have to cover, the Taylor.
Speaker 1: Swift movie, and we'll get to that later.
Speaker 2: But first I want to talk about something that stirs
Speaker 2: up almost as much passion, the Middle East. That's right,
Speaker 2: it's my big week as guest host, and I get
Speaker 2: Israel Palestine. I don't mean to complain, but as far
Speaker 2: as scheduling goes, this unspeakably tragic geopolitical crisis is not
Speaker 2: super convenient time for me right now, because no matter
Speaker 2: what I come up with, people are just going to say,
Speaker 2: this guy doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about,
Speaker 2: And you're right, that's pretty much the only opinion everyone
Speaker 2: can agree on. Michael Costa is an idiot, and what
Speaker 2: do I know about the Middle East. I'm from the
Speaker 2: Middle West. I'm from Michigan. The best way I would
Speaker 2: describe my position on the Middle East is poorly educated.
Speaker 1: And that sounds harsh, but.
Speaker 2: At least I'm aware of it because I read a
Speaker 2: lot of your posts online, and sometimes it's better not
Speaker 2: to pretend you know what you're talking about. I have
Speaker 2: friends on Facebook who have the whole Middle East figured out,
Speaker 2: when I know for a fact they can't even get
Speaker 2: car insurance.
Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, interesting points. Don't you have three? Do you eyes?
Speaker 1: Maybe you should focus on you thankfully.
Speaker 2: This is why later tonight I will bring on an
Speaker 2: actual expert, political scientist, Ian Bremer will be here to
Speaker 2: help us make sense of all. But here's what I'll
Speaker 2: say for now. There's a cycle of violence here that
Speaker 2: feels like it's never ending. It's been going on my
Speaker 2: whole life, and apparently even longer than that. And I'm
Speaker 2: sure I'm not the only one who wishes that this
Speaker 2: cycle would end. And everyone has an opinion for who's
Speaker 2: responsible for it. It's Israel, It's Palestine, it's Netan Yahoo,
Speaker 2: it's Hamas. Everyone's taking a side, but everyone is wrong
Speaker 2: because I spent the weekend reading two lengthy Wikipedia articles
Speaker 2: and I think it's pretty clear who we can blame
Speaker 2: for all of this mess.
Speaker 1: The British.
Speaker 2: Okay, you Britain and you're nursing home King. They're the
Speaker 2: ones who barred into the Middle East one hundred years
Speaker 2: ago and drew the borders that caused all this mess.
Speaker 2: And they did it all around the world, by the way, like,
Speaker 2: how much of modern civilization is just undoing all of
Speaker 2: Britain's bad decisions. You want to know how bad they
Speaker 2: picked up maps they made Ireland to Ireland's It's an island.
Speaker 2: It didn't need borders. But the British were like, hey, gal,
Speaker 2: so maybe that's the best way we can find peace
Speaker 2: Israel and Palestine. It's time to put your grievances aside.
Speaker 2: Joined together to invade Britain. Let's move ought us the
Speaker 2: Business news right Aid, the only pharmacy chain that hasn't
Speaker 2: refused to print my picture, announced that it's filing for bankruptcy.
Speaker 2: Just when I was about to buy that one DVD
Speaker 2: player that's been sitting behind the register since two thousand
Speaker 2: and three.
Speaker 1: Seriously, this news is shocking to me.
Speaker 2: Are you telling me it's a bad business model to
Speaker 2: have one employee for every six stores?
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they'd have more profit.
Speaker 2: If their deodorant wasn't locked up in a maximum security prison.
Speaker 2: Of course, these guys are gonna go out of business.
Speaker 2: I mean, just look at their logo. They were mashing
Speaker 2: their medicines the old fashioned way. That's how I make guacamole.
Speaker 2: It's tragic, though, because as a part of this move,
Speaker 2: they sadly had to lay off their entire custodial staff
Speaker 2: ten years ago. My point is right, aid sucks, and
Speaker 2: I'm glad this happened to them. I am going to
Speaker 2: keep going to them, though, because they're the closest my apartment. Also,
Speaker 2: in a related story, Spirit Halloween just opened nine thousand
Speaker 2: new locals. Anyway, let's move on to the biggest cluster
Speaker 2: for outside of the Middle East, the US Congress. Two
Speaker 2: weeks ago, the house was thrown into chaos by Matt Gates,
Speaker 2: Florida Republican and what happens when you photo copy Matthew
Speaker 2: McConaughey too many times. He staged a coup against Kevin
Speaker 2: McCarthy Speaker of the House and what happens when you
Speaker 2: photocopy John Slattery too many times? And after that, everyone
Speaker 2: said the Republicans were two divided to elect a new speaker,
Speaker 2: and it turns out everyone was right.
Speaker 1: Wid the news.
Speaker 3: Chaos on Capitol Hill, the Republican House dysfunction continues as
Speaker 3: the fight for a new Speaker of the House continues
Speaker 3: to sputter.
Speaker 4: Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio did not even come close
Speaker 4: to lunching the speakership.
Speaker 3: He failed rather ignominiously to win the gabble on the
Speaker 3: first pallet.
Speaker 5: Jim Jordan has twenty Republicans who decided to vote for
Speaker 5: someone other than him.
Speaker 4: In a few cases they voted for a guy who
Speaker 4: isn't even in Congress anymore.
Speaker 1: Jordan.
Speaker 2: That's right, a big loss today for Jim Jordan, Ohio Representative.
Speaker 2: And what you get when you photocopy your grandfather's toe
Speaker 2: too many times. So, as of now, it's been two
Speaker 2: weeks of Republicans arguing with each other and they still
Speaker 2: haven't been able to agree on a new speaker, which
Speaker 2: is a big deal. The Speaker of the House is
Speaker 2: the person responsible for speaking in.
Speaker 1: The House, so if they don't have one.
Speaker 2: Then nobody is speaking, and it's just so quiet in there.
Speaker 2: And Congress can't do anything until they figure this out.
Speaker 2: They can't pass laws, they can't send four an eight
Speaker 2: to Ukraine, and I can't impeach Hunter Biden's penis. Right now,
Speaker 2: Congress is basically Mitch McConnell totally frozen, and no one
Speaker 2: knows how to fix it. It's okay to show that
Speaker 2: because he said he's fine. Let's talk about water. It's
Speaker 2: the thing you hope you just sat in on the subway.
Speaker 2: According to doctors, we're supposed to drink water basically every day,
Speaker 2: and in America, most of us do that with the
Speaker 2: help of these The number one package drink in the
Speaker 2: United States isn't coke or gatorade or even haterade.
Speaker 1: It's bottled water.
Speaker 2: We Americans buy fifty billion disposable water bottles a year.
Speaker 2: And I know what you're thinking, Oh shit, another depressing
Speaker 2: environment story. So can I not even drink water without
Speaker 2: ruining my children's future?
Speaker 1: But that's the thing.
Speaker 2: This is one environment story that actually has a really
Speaker 2: easy solution. And I'm gonna tell you what it is.
Speaker 2: Another installment of long story short. For most of human history,
Speaker 2: people got by fine without bottled water. People got water
Speaker 2: from their well or the local stream, or by throwing
Speaker 2: a virgin into a volcano so it would rain. It
Speaker 2: was a perfect system for water. Bottles started to become
Speaker 2: popular in the eighties, mainly for health reasons. In nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty six, the EPA warned Americans that their tapwater it
Speaker 2: might be turning them into number two pencils. This might
Speaker 2: sound familiar to you if you grew up in the
Speaker 2: eighties or in Jackson, Mississippi last week. And then marketers
Speaker 2: smelled money and soon bottled water wasn't just about health,
Speaker 2: but a whole healthy sexual lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Keep your body and its peak.
Speaker 6: Drink a pure avion spring water from a French house.
Speaker 7: It's refreshing, it's natural, and it doesn't have one single calorie.
Speaker 1: Important. It goes with good food. That's what I drink
Speaker 1: instead of a cantail. It's what I drink instead of
Speaker 1: a cooktail. Sure, but you can just.
Speaker 2: Say you've got DUI's all right, we've all got du eyes.
Speaker 2: Look props to these water companies. They turned water into
Speaker 2: something sexy as opposed to something you just need to survive.
Speaker 1: These ads were basically.
Speaker 7: Like oxygen, it really helps me lay pipe.
Speaker 1: So fast forward to today. Thank you great perform.
Speaker 2: So fast forward to today, and the average American drinks
Speaker 2: upwards to one hundred and sixty seven bottles a year,
Speaker 2: usually right before a long haul flight when I'm in
Speaker 2: the aisle seat, Hey, just be an adult and.
Speaker 1: Wear a diaper like the rest of us.
Speaker 2: Now you might be asking, where does all that water
Speaker 2: come from the ocean? No, I tried that once I
Speaker 2: got so sick. In reality, in order to get bottled
Speaker 2: water to the masses, water companies like Nestley often suck
Speaker 2: up water from public lands for little to no cost.
Speaker 1: It's not awesome, right.
Speaker 2: We love it when multinational conglomerates find success. The problem
Speaker 2: is this creates a massive environmental impact. When these companies
Speaker 2: are called out for it, they come up with explanations
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 8: Nelson Switzer is Neslie Water's chief sustainability officer.
Speaker 1: Some people say, this is the people's water. Is it
Speaker 1: fair that you guys make so much money off of it?
Speaker 8: Neslie has water rights, of course in this area. From
Speaker 8: a legal standpoint of course, it's from a perception standpoint
Speaker 8: I understand why people are asking that question.
Speaker 1: But water belongs to no one.
Speaker 2: Oh, really, really nicely, water belongs to no one. That's
Speaker 2: the dumbest thing anyone has ever said about water. And
Speaker 2: keep in mind Gwyneth Paltrow once said that you can
Speaker 2: hurt water's feelings by.
Speaker 1: Yelling at it.
Speaker 2: If water really belongs to no one, then why can't
Speaker 2: I go swimming in my neighbor Eric's coy pond?
Speaker 1: Why did it scare his kids? Per the police report?
Speaker 2: But sucking up all the fresh water is just the
Speaker 2: beginning of our problems. Making the bottles and shipping them
Speaker 2: to you uses seventeen million barrels of oil a year.
Speaker 2: That's enough oil to fill one million cars for a
Speaker 2: whole year, or grease up Don Junior for one week
Speaker 2: af plus. Most bottles just get thrown in the trash.
Speaker 2: Oh but I recycle it, okay, thanks for putting it
Speaker 2: in the green bin before they send it to Malaysia
Speaker 2: where they put it in the trash there. And the
Speaker 2: stupidest part is it's totally almost unnecessary. The majority of
Speaker 2: the country has access to safe, free tapwater. We're transporting
Speaker 2: a product from three thousand miles away that we can
Speaker 2: get from our kitchens. In fact, most of the bottled
Speaker 2: water we drink is literally tapwater, including aquafina and dasani.
Speaker 2: That's right, Dasani just takes tapwater, adds fart smell to it,
Speaker 2: and that's how they make dasani. And maybe you buy
Speaker 2: natural spring water because it's healthier, but it turns out
Speaker 2: not always. In fact, the study of Fiji water found
Speaker 2: that it has more arsenic than tapwater from Cleveland. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you thought bottled water was safer, turns out it's slowly
Speaker 2: poisoning you like a wife on dateline. So considering that
Speaker 2: tap water is good enough for the vast majority of us,
Speaker 2: the solution to the huge environmental problems of bottled water
Speaker 2: is obvious.
Speaker 1: Boom problem solved.
Speaker 2: Using a refillable water bottle cuts down on fossil fuels,
Speaker 2: creates less waste, and could even save you sixteen thousand
Speaker 2: dollars over its lifetime. That's enough to pay for a
Speaker 2: luxury vacation or sixteen shitty vacations. So, long story short,
Speaker 2: this is like the easiest choice in.
Speaker 1: The history of no brainers.
Speaker 2: If everyone in the United States just went with the
Speaker 2: reuse of water bottles, we'd save money solve an environmental crisis,
Speaker 2: and the best part of that is then that's one
Speaker 2: less environmental crisis.
Speaker 1: You'd have to hear people like me bitching about.
Speaker 2: You probably already have nine of these open a cabinet
Speaker 2: in your kitchen, and one will fall on you and
Speaker 2: tomorrow start using it.
Speaker 1: That's how you save the planet.
Speaker 2: My Gastonite is a political scientist and author of the
Speaker 2: Power of Christ. He helps business leaders, policymakers, and people
Speaker 2: like me make sense of the world.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Ian Bremer, so thanks for coming.
Speaker 6: Have to be here.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be a global citizen. I'm trying. I
Speaker 1: can't plead ignorance anymore to this part of the world.
Speaker 1: It was convenient for me for a while. What can
Speaker 1: I do? What can anybody do?
Speaker 2: I mean, what other than just hear these sad stories
Speaker 2: are like something on Instagram? Is there any action? How
Speaker 2: can I educate myself further?
Speaker 6: I would say, spend less time on social media. Okay,
Speaker 6: it's dehumanizing, it's disinformation. It's actively destroying our democracy and
Speaker 6: others around the world. It is making algorithmically, it's taking
Speaker 6: people and it's making them angrier and more hateful than
Speaker 6: anything they would experience in real life. So so, if
Speaker 6: you want to make a difference, the last place you
Speaker 6: can make a difference is on social media, where you're
Speaker 6: only exchanging information with people that are telling you here's
Speaker 6: exactly what you need to believe, and those are the
Speaker 6: people you need to hate.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 6: Spending more time with your family, with your community, in
Speaker 6: your school, it's with people that aren't just like you algorithmically,
Speaker 6: that's what.
Speaker 1: You need to do.
Speaker 2: Really simple question, not to be insensitive, but for so
Speaker 2: many Americans that see this as something so far away,
Speaker 2: why should they care about what's happening?
Speaker 6: Because in principle, we the United States, stand for something
Speaker 6: beyond just ourselves. I mean maybe America first doesn't quite
Speaker 6: say that, but the Statue of Liberty does. We all
Speaker 6: came from somewhere, right, I mean, the Jews and the
Speaker 6: Palestinians are the same people. They came from the same place,
Speaker 6: they've grown up in the same home. And we as
Speaker 6: Americans who have historically represented that ethos better than anyone
Speaker 6: else on the planet, how can we not care when
Speaker 6: that is falling apart right now in the most tragic
Speaker 6: possible way in front of our eyes.
Speaker 1: How can we not care about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why it matters to us as Americans. Not
Speaker 6: because oil is going to one point fifty, not because
Speaker 6: people are losing their job. No, it's because we as Americans,
Speaker 6: if we stand for anything, we stand for that.
Speaker 2: My guest and I as an economist at Brown University
Speaker 2: an author of several books on data driven parenting.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Emily Auster. Hello. All right, exciting, huh, I'm excited.
Speaker 4: Data and parenting very babies and babies.
Speaker 2: Data parenting is nice, it's I like the term.
Speaker 1: It sounds good.
Speaker 2: But when my three year old is punching me in
Speaker 2: the face on Father's Day for the three times that
Speaker 2: day and I'm about to lose it, I'm not thinking
Speaker 2: about data.
Speaker 1: So there are some problems. Okay, yeah, there are.
Speaker 4: Some problems for which data isn't necessarily going to fix
Speaker 4: the problem. But I think there's another piece of data
Speaker 4: in parenting. And I think this is really true that
Speaker 4: like we can use data to feel less alone. And
Speaker 4: that's like part of parenting is hard, right, your kids
Speaker 4: hitting you in the face, it's painful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's painful. It doesn't matter how old they are.
Speaker 4: But what the data will tell you, is that one
Speaker 4: hundred percent of kids hit and the one hundred percent
Speaker 4: of them hit their dad, And so you're not alone
Speaker 4: because one hundred percent of other people were also.
Speaker 1: Hit on Father's Day.
Speaker 4: And in some sense, like I think that that tells
Speaker 4: us that we're doing okay. There's nothing wrong with your kid.
Speaker 5: They just hit.
Speaker 9: Sometimes.
Speaker 2: Where is this data coming from?
Speaker 1: Certainly, it's like a very yeah, okay, certain okay, certainly.
Speaker 4: So data comes from a lot of places. Actually, when
Speaker 4: I teach them economists, they teach you brown. One of
Speaker 4: the big things I teach people is like, where does
Speaker 4: data come from? And the answer is it comes from surveys,
Speaker 4: We ask people, And data has its limitations. We don't
Speaker 4: always ask the most representatives set of people, and we
Speaker 4: don't always analyze it in the ways that get us
Speaker 4: closest to causality. But the fundamental answer is we get
Speaker 4: data on people by asking people about their behaviors and
Speaker 4: what they do, and by collecting information on how their
Speaker 4: kids do.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how much my parents parenting me was
Speaker 2: going to turn me.
Speaker 1: Excuse me.
Speaker 2: I thought I would parent differently better. I had great parents,
Speaker 2: but I thought I would do things differently.
Speaker 1: Am I are we just doomed? And is there data
Speaker 1: on this?
Speaker 4: Okay, there is data on There are some things you
Speaker 4: probably do do differently and so and sometimes because we've
Speaker 4: advanced our data, you know, you probably put your baby
Speaker 4: sleep on their back and your parents probably put you
Speaker 4: to sleep on your stomach.
Speaker 1: Because we learn more.
Speaker 4: About data that we can scott that later. But I
Speaker 4: think it is It is of course true that we're
Speaker 4: all products of our own parenting, but also that many
Speaker 4: of the things our parents did are great, and in
Speaker 4: the end, there's a lot of right ways to do this,
Speaker 4: and I think we always want to move away from
Speaker 4: our parents.
Speaker 2: Just as an award winning singer, composer and instrumentalist whose
Speaker 2: new album is called You're the One, Please welcome Rhiannon Giddons.
Speaker 9: I hope people can want.
Speaker 1: All the great They're great. They're great. Thank you for
Speaker 1: being here, Thanks for having me, Thank you for chatting
Speaker 1: with us.
Speaker 2: You are a MacArthur Genius Award winner, Grammy winner, Pulitzer
Speaker 2: Prize winner.
Speaker 1: You studied opera in college.
Speaker 2: But this is what really they got me. You write
Speaker 2: all your music with the banjo.
Speaker 1: I write a lot.
Speaker 5: Of my music of the band with banjo and voice
Speaker 5: and fiddle and whatever instrument I have around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I think of the banjo, and correct me
Speaker 2: on this, but when I think of the banjo, I
Speaker 2: know you will.
Speaker 1: I picture that scene in Deliverance and.
Speaker 2: It's down in the South and it's scary, and it's
Speaker 2: Is that an accurate depiction of the banjo?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: And that's part of the problem, is that media has
Speaker 5: really warped our idea of how American music came to be.
Speaker 5: The banjo is an African derived instrument, was invented by
Speaker 5: people of the African diasper and the Caribbean and African
Speaker 5: American people were co creators of old time and what
Speaker 5: became bluegrass music and country music. And it's only in
Speaker 5: the nineteen yes, thank you, Yeah, but it's you know,
Speaker 5: it's really in the nineteen early nineteen hundreds and twenties
Speaker 5: when the media and how we segregated American music with
Speaker 5: into these different buckets in order to sell it. It
Speaker 5: just changed our perception and we've lost a lot of
Speaker 5: our history. And so that's been a drive of mine
Speaker 5: for a really long time. Is to change is to
Speaker 5: change that.
Speaker 2: Can I be ignorant for a second, if you like
Speaker 2: a guitar versus a banjo, I mean, I know they
Speaker 2: look different, but what's the what is the difference?
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, well they come there, come from different
Speaker 5: I mean, look to break it down, the banjo really is.
Speaker 5: It is descended from a lot of different West African
Speaker 5: loot instruments, and there's a percussive mode about it.
Speaker 1: There's on a lot of.
Speaker 5: Banjos, there's five strings, a little short string which is
Speaker 5: a drone string, which means it's in one key and
Speaker 5: it's so it's very different. And actually the banjo was
Speaker 5: more popular than the guitar for a long time in America.
Speaker 5: The guitar is a relative latecomer. So it's kind of
Speaker 5: like the banjo is like our indigenous instrument. You know,
Speaker 5: if you are also you have to remember all the
Speaker 5: indigenous instruments with indigenous people. We were here, you know,
Speaker 5: before a lot of people came. But in terms of
Speaker 5: America as a nation state, yes, I mean this is
Speaker 5: they're still here, by the way, they're still here. But
Speaker 5: in America as a nation state, a colonial state, whatever,
Speaker 5: the banjo is. This this co creation between different cultures
Speaker 5: of working class poor people that made it and it's unique.
Speaker 1: Thank you for answering that question. I know, is you know,
Speaker 1: appeasing my question?
Speaker 5: That's my job.
Speaker 1: Good. Yeah, So, opera.
Speaker 2: You're in town to accept the Politzer for this opera
Speaker 2: called Omar, about an enslaved African Muslim that you took
Speaker 2: the memoirs and converted into an opera.
Speaker 1: Explain this. I mean, we went from banjo to opera.
Speaker 1: It's all just yeah, it's.
Speaker 5: Been really interesting because it was the opposite. I went
Speaker 5: to Oberlin learned opera, and then kind of got burnt
Speaker 5: out and went down in North Carolina where I'm from
Speaker 5: and learned the banjo, and then full circle came back.
Speaker 5: Was asked to write this opera about Omar and Ben Sayid,
Speaker 5: who was a Senegalese Quranic scholar at thirty seven, sold
Speaker 5: into slavery. And it's just an incredible story because we're
Speaker 5: talking about like who gets to represent the American story,
Speaker 5: you know, and it's to complicate that narrative, and there's
Speaker 5: all these different kinds of people who represent the American story,
Speaker 5: and he's one and his autobiography was written in Arabic
Speaker 5: while he was enslaved, and it's the only document of
Speaker 5: that kind that we know of in existence, and it's
Speaker 5: just a really special story. So I just feel amazingly
Speaker 5: overwhelmed by the fact that I got to make it
Speaker 5: with Michael Abels, my co composer, and that for the
Speaker 5: Spiletto Festival, and that it's been honored with a Pulitzer.
Speaker 5: It's just like it's a dream come true.
Speaker 1: That's great, fascinating.
Speaker 2: My guest tonight is a wilderness guide and self reliance
Speaker 2: expert who won season six of the History Channel show Alone.
Speaker 2: Please welcome Jordan Jonas. Right, So, thanks for coming to
Speaker 2: New York City.
Speaker 9: What an honored Thanks for the invite.
Speaker 1: Now I'm in your world. Yeah, you're in my world now.
Speaker 2: People can have a reaction to hunting, big game hunting.
Speaker 2: It's easy for me to see pictures online and see
Speaker 2: this thing going, I don't like this.
Speaker 1: You're killing an animal?
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 2: I also feel like you care a lot about nature
Speaker 2: and conservation.
Speaker 1: How can those two be connected?
Speaker 9: That's actually a really fascinating question. But I think we
Speaker 9: are no matter what we think, We're a part of nature.
Speaker 9: And in my experience, people who hunt, who rely on
Speaker 9: nature to you know, feed themselves, their families, there's almost
Speaker 9: there's few people that are more in tune with the
Speaker 9: health of a particular ecosystem because you rely on it.
Speaker 9: So though you do take individual animals at times, you know,
Speaker 9: according to all the laws and all that, you're also
Speaker 9: really you know, wishing the best for the species and
Speaker 9: working to you know, provide that through via conservation, which is,
Speaker 9: you know, when you're hunting, you're paying money into the system.
Speaker 9: They put money back into the science and the habitat
Speaker 9: protection that protects animals. So interestingly enough, the good news
Speaker 9: is is we've done a great job of conservation and
Speaker 9: have brought you know, whitetail and elk and all these
Speaker 9: animals that from the brink of extinction to you know,
Speaker 9: thriving numbers through ethical hunting. You know, yeah, it's I
Speaker 9: can understand that the kind of the the.
Speaker 2: The knee jerk, the knee jerk. Yeah, you see these
Speaker 2: pictures in that, you know. But I think one thing
Speaker 2: that really was beneficial for me. I'm not a hunter,
Speaker 2: but I definitely fished and killed grouse that week because
Speaker 2: I was starving and and you said, we're only going
Speaker 2: to eat what we can procure.
Speaker 1: For the next thirty six hours. Well, guess what. COSTA
Speaker 1: doesn't really procure much.
Speaker 2: But man, and this is gonna be silly to you
Speaker 2: and maybe silly to everybody else. But when I took
Speaker 2: this little grouse's life, it really meant something.
Speaker 1: And it was sad to me. Yeah, but we then
Speaker 1: cleaned it. We cooked it that night.
Speaker 2: It was my dinner, and I just thought on the
Speaker 2: flight home, I made a lot of notes.
Speaker 1: I had so much I had to be thankful for.
Speaker 1: I was like, I've never been that close to my
Speaker 1: food before.
Speaker 9: I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I go to the grocery store, I buy four pounds
Speaker 2: or whatever, three of it goes in the track. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's like, man, that was like such a different connection
Speaker 2: that's gone for.
Speaker 1: The most part from us.
Speaker 9: Valuable. Yeah, I know, I think we've all been disconnected.
Speaker 1: Were talking.
Speaker 9: You're talking about packaging earlier. You know, everything coming the
Speaker 9: other guy.
Speaker 10: But yeah, but it's yeah, it's it's important to have
Speaker 10: that connection with our food.
