62
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: date I went on off of my Space was because

63
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: this woman had Belly listed as one of her favorite movies.

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: let's go on a date. Uh, and it ended terribly.

68
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: It turns out one movie directed by one of the

69
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: most prolific hip hop video directors as common Ground, isn't

70
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: the basis for a strong romantic relationship when you're nearly twenties.

71
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: But you know what, Maurice, how are you doing? Where

72
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: are you? Where are you coming to us from? I

73
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: am in Atlanta, Georgia, the soon to be next COVID

74
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: nineteen hotspot most likely, But I think that could probably

75
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: be for any place that people went to over Labor

76
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: Day weekend, but here in particular, Oh, was there a

77
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: lot going on? People out and about. Well, so Labor

78
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Day weekend in Atlanta is kind of affectionately known as

79
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: the clusterfuck and pre pandemic back when the world was open. Uh,

80
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: there would be at least a dozen events here, book festivals,

81
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: there's a big science fiction convention here called Dragon Con.

82
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: There's Black Ay Pride, there's a number of sporting events, etcetera.

83
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: And of worse, because the pandemic, a lot of those

84
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: events have either like went online or they've been canceled

85
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: or postponed or something that didn't stop people from coming here.

86
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure that we're gonna have another big

87
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: flare up. But it's been so weird in Georgia because

88
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: we have had so little time to be locked down,

89
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: so to speak. We really only had about three weeks

90
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: in April um so it's been like this very weird

91
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know, at least for me, it's

92
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: felt like this weird tension in the city because a

93
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: lot of places still aren't open, but you know, the

94
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: cases are still rising and people are still coming here,

95
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: and it's like the virus is still out there, y'all.

96
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: Like it's it's kind of weird. Yeah, it's hard. It's

97
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: hard for people to sort of like separate their human

98
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: body and like socializing needs with the reality of the pandemic.

99
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, in l A, the beaches were packed because

100
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: on top of it, we have a heat wave and

101
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: not everybody has can get cool immediately, So yeah, the

102
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: beach looks like a pretty good solution, but you you

103
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: get the crowds going, it's yeah, it's definitely a hard,

104
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: hard period. I think no matter where, highest temperature in

105
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: the history of l A County over the weekend. So

106
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: all right, Mariice, we're gonna get to know you a

107
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell

108
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: our listeners a few of the things we're talking about.

109
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the fact that the globally we're

110
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: kind of going through that same conflict the Olympics. IOC

Speaker 1: is just like, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna do the Olympics,

112
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: so they're pushing through to that. We're gonna talk about

113
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Trump campaign funds. We people haven't been paying a ton

114
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: of attention to to that because of the many rings circus,

115
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: many alarm fire that he kind of keeps stoked in

116
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: the background to keep us distracted. So we'll talk about that.

117
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the results of Sturgist keep rolling in.

118

Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about claims of connections between forest fires

119
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: and climate change, because that's the disputed a little bit

120
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: that one is feeding the other one is feeding the other.

121
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting because it's not like a total um

122
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: plant for the oil industry. Who's disputing it, but his

123
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: what his complaint is a little bit overblownt It's actually

124
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: a plant for clean coal, right, he's actually really into

125
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: the nuclear energy, very very safe. We're gonna talk about

126
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: gender reveal parties and life inside Ellen's home. Oh no,

127
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: that's a thing people found out. Yeah, yeah, her some

128
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: of some of her household staff have come out and

129
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: talked about what what that's like. And let's just say

130
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: it involves her planting match sticks in places to make

131
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: sure that the clean Yeah, that the staff is cleaning

132
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:04,040

133
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: yeah it is. Is there anything about hangars, wire hangers

134
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: or anything like that as well? Just to fully complete

135
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: that circle, there's like a list, a daily list of

136
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: complaints that includes stuff like you served this food in

137
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: the wrong dish, like that that should have been in

138
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: this bowl rather than the bowl you served it to me. Um.

139
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: So you know, just all sorts of interesting things. Uh

140
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: So we'll get to all that plenty more. But first,

141
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: more reason, we like task our guess what is something

142
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: from research history that's revealing about who you are. Oh,

143
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who I am. Yeah. Well, today I

144
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: was looking up Move paper masks. Um there's a printing company.

145
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Printing company is called Move. They make you know, business cards,

146
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: stick or stuff like that, and they sent this email

147
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: out there like oh, we're now making paper masks. I'm like,

148
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: why would you have a paper mask? Like paper gets wet.

149
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: That seems very effective for a mask, And so I

150
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: googled it to kind of see what they were talking about,

151
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, well, we we cut the sides

152
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: in an accordion fashion for ease and comfort. And I'm like,

153
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: but it's a paper mask. They even say it's not

154
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: medical grade, nor is it ppe. So why are you

155
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: selling twenty five packs of them? Is it just capitalism?

156
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: It's really kind of weird and stupid. Yeah, this is

157
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at the mask. It almost seems like

158
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: a joke, like a parody of itself. Yeah, like it

159
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: does feel that way. It's very weird. It feels like

160
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: a BuzzFeed article where it's like if you have like

161
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: really good crafting scissors, it's like how you can turn

162
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: a greeting card into fake ass ppe and it's just like, dude,

163
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's catching or just looks like

164
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: it's just probably redirecting the germs up or down like

165
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: there's no and they're like, oh, you can recycle it,

166
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I'm going to recycle this spittle soaked paper mask.

167
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Why ridiculous? Yeah, it's really something is Moved like a

168
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: popular company because I know, look, you're you're a designer,

169
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: You're in that space. So I'm like, move. I never

170
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: heard of that. Are they like a pretty big company? Um?

171
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're big, but I think they

172
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: are pretty well known, uh, largely because of the different

173
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: kind of sizes of business cards they have. So one

174
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: size that they have that I've used, I don't know,

175
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: for at least ten years now. It's almost like the

176
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: size of a pack of chewing them, Like it's a

177
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: small mini card. You can kind of just whip it

178
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: out to people like ha ha, here's my card. Um.

179
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: And back when I really had my studio running, I

180
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: would get those cards made and they would look like

181
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: those uh those like key ring lunch things that you

182
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: would get where if you take it into a deli

183
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: or something they'll stamp it or punch a hole in

184
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: it or something. So I would do that for like

185
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: repeat customers, I'd like mark off a little X on

186
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: the back. The name of my studio was Lunch, and

187
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: so we kind of played into all of the kind

188
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: of foodie aspects of it. But I think it's well

189
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: known because of that. I mean, they do postcards and

190
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: stickers and stuff like that, but they're mostly known for

191
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: those little bit of cards. I'm like the last person

192
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: to know about anything to do with paper goods, so

193
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not surprised I don't know about them.

194
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Um it is when you go to a mood dot com.

195
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: The front page of their site is people wearing these masks, uh,

196
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: and they're saying, we love paper so when we wanted

197
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: to make a more breathable mask option, you can guess

198
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: where our heads went. Yep, And here it is uncomfortable

199
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: but sturdy paper mask that's fully recyclable. So it does

200
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: seem like they are definitely walking that line because so

201
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: it's then it has like four bullet points, thoughtfully designed,

202
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: five versatile colors made with planet friendly recycled paper, lightweight,

203
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: breathable material, and then it. Only then does it say

204
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: this is not a medical grade mask or item of

205
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: personal protective equipment, right, they get that in at the end.

206
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: I guess does the ones typical cloth ones? That is

207
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: that considered proper PP or you know what I mean?

208
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: Because I know, like and nine if is like truly

209
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: like you're sort of respirator thing, so like you, I mean,

210
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: some of them, I guess if they put like a

211
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: filter in it, maybe, but they're not meant to be

212
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: like medical grade. You know, it's because it's a poorous material.

213
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: But I'm like curious, like breathing through a like a

214
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: sheet of cardboard, like, yeah, this is it? Can't be

215
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: it better? This looks like origami approximation of mask, not

216
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: actual mask. It looks like it looks like it could

217
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: be good like Mortal Kombat cosplay. Yeah you could be Yeah,

218
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: you could be sub zero, the one that makes people

219
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: nervous at a grocery store. Uh, Maurice, what is something

220
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Oh? God, zoone calls, Google me calls.

221
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Basically any video call at this stage of the pandemic

222
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: I think is completely overrated. Um. I tend to have these.

223
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think probably everyone does it. At this point,

224
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: I've got a few of these that I have a week,

225
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: and if I'm my philosophy of it as if I'm

226
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: not getting paid for it, I'm not turning my camera

227
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: on us. I also happen to be unemployed right now,

228
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: so the camera really doesn't come on that much. I'm like, look,

229
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: if I have to pick my hair out, I have

230
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: to turn my ring light on. And that's not happening

231
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: for everybody, okay, you know, and there will be something

232
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: and there'll be some calls that are like, oh, well,

233
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, how come you don't have how come the

234
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: cameras on? And like, well, on my main computer which

235
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: is in my studio, I don't have a camera, which

236
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: I sort of mentioned y'all before, But I have one

237
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: on my laptop. So if I wanted to, I could

238
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: get my laptop and you know, go through all of that.

239
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: But why like the stuff we have to talk about

240
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: honestly could be a phone call. It doesn't really have

241
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: to be a Zoom call, doesn't have to be a

242
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: Google meet call. I know those sort of stepped up

243
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: at the default as the pandemic started to kind of

244
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, go on in the in the spring going

245
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: into the summer. But like the phone works too, we

246
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: can just do that. It's it is funny because I

247
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: think like part of it too is subconsciously it helps

248
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: make things feel slightly more elevated because you're like, yeah,

249
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: it could be a phone call, and you know, for

250
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: all intents and purpose is it probably should be based

251
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: on we just need to communicate with words and not

252
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: our facial expressions to say I we need to do X,

253
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: Y and Z. But there's something where it's like, oh,

254
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: it's okay, so we'll do a zoom call, you know,

255
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: because we can't meet anymore do these other things. I

256
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: feel like it somehow makes things feel a little more formal,

257
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it's like we're

258
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: achieving the same thing on a phone call now. Yeah,

259
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: but like everything now looks like a zoom call. Like

260
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: media stuff is looking like zoom call, Instagram, lives, television,

261
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: like it's all I don't know. I'm I'm a bit

262
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: overrated by video. I think video in general right now

263
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: it's a bit overrated for your aesthetically oriented mind. What

264
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: do you, how do you? How do you? How do you?

265
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: How can we elevate this you know, like what would

266
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: be less boring to you? Is it? Is it the angles?

267
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Is it because everyone sort of doing the same sort

268
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: of like laptop facing thing. Do we need to put

269
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: a camera in the corner make it feel a little

270
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: more like verite? I don't know. I mean I think

271
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: it's because you know Zoom and I guess meat by proxy.

272
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, these are these are enterprise level conferencing tool.

273
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: It was like they're meant for work. And so the

274
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: thing is that you've taken a work tool and now

275
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I've tried to make it into an everything tool. Now

276
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: it's a happy hour, it's a gym, it's a daycare,

277
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's all this other stuff now. And

278
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: even Zoom the company has had to sort of like

279
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: step it up in terms of encryption and a number

280
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: of different other features to try to meet this now

281
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: big consumer market that they have because they really just

282
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: used to be for businesses. Now it's for everybody. Um,

283
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't know a good way too, I guess make

284
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: it better. Although I have to say, you know, if

285
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about events, because now you know the stars

286
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: are sequestered in such in their homes and whatnot, but

287
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: you know when you look at sort of award shows

288
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: and video events and stuff. I know, the VMA has

289
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: just happened recently, and they sort of had like a

290
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: mix of live action and recorded sort of stuff, which was, Yeah,

291
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: it was okay. I think it worked. I think the

292
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: the kind of like creepy audience applause and silhouettes that

293
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: they had in the background was a little kind of

294
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: like black mirrorsh But I think they did okay. But

295
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: like the best implementation of it that I've seen where

296
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: it's like a good mix of recorded and distance sort

297
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: of thing, has been the BT Awards. Like it's hands

298
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: down the best one that I've seen so far this

299
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: year that like has gotten it right because it's always

300
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: going to be I think some kind of like tech

301
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: issue or or something to that effect. But like it's

302
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: hard to get over the fact that everything now looks

303
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: like a weird version of Hollywood Squares because you just

304
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: can't like escape that, you can't escape the grid. Crety s.

305
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a horror movie that comes out with

306
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: the next year and a half based on that concept.

307
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, God, I feel bad for the development people

308
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: at studios who are just going through piles of quarantine

309
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: inspired material. Now what do we do? Now? What do

310
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: we do with all these quarantine concept I feel like

311
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: the zoom thing is also being pushed by people who

312
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: thrive on meetings or you know that. I feel like

313
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: the quarantine and like work from home movement has made

314
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: it evidence that a lot of things that used to

315
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: be meetings could have been quick phone calls or emails. Uh,

316
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: and people like that. There's a pushback. There's a reaction

317
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: to that where people are like, well, we gotta we

318
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: gotta have a workplace, we gotta we gotta have a

319
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: department has happy hours. There's also that like terrible culture

320
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: of like productivity that's just hammered into American people's minds

321
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: or you got to productive? Are you? And then working

322
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: from home sort of Actually for some people, you realize

323
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: how much more efficient you are, and then you have

324
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: time you're like, funk, I need to do a zoom

325
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: call or something. I need to do this because I'm

326
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: efficient now, but I bought it, but I need to

327
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: be productive. And you're like, yeah, well you happen to

328
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: do that in two thirds of the time, or you know,

329
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: seven eighths of the time. I mean My heart really

330
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: goes out to parents right now that are having to

331
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: kind of do the distance learning through zoom, because that

332
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: just adds a whole other dimension to this, because now

333
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: you're having to kind of get your your child or

334
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: or not not your toddler, but like you have to

335
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: get your child to kind of sit in front of

336
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: this computer at a screen time in order to learn.

337
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: But then now there's all these rules that may have

338
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: taken place in school that now have to apply to

339
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: the home when school is active, if that makes any sense.

340
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: Like I've seen stuff on Twitter where teachers have been like, oh, well,

341
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: if you're going to be in school from home, you

342
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: have to wear shoes like the kids at home. The

343
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: kids not wearing shoes unless they're putting their feet to

344
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: the camera. I don't see what the issue is, like, oh,

345
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: they have to dress up, no onesies or something. I

346
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: was reading something the Washington Post today about how a

347
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: kid had like a toy gun. Yeah, and they called

348
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: the police on it, and they called and the school

349
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: called the police on the kid at home, Like yeah, orange, No,

350
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: this did not look like some you know, like he

351
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: had a blammer on him and he was like flashing

352
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: at camera, there's a fucking toy NERF gun, Like and

353
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: you see this right, Like there's like this new level

354
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: of NERF gun where people can like custom make them

355
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: and kind of get a little like nerd out on them.

356
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: And this is what that was, like that kid's hobby,

357
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: Like he he had like his wall of NERF guns

358
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: that he made and he was like really happy about him.

359
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: And it's just like a kid, just a fucking toy.

360
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: But again, this child is black, not I'm sure I'm

361
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: curious what would have happened if a white child was

362
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: waving their NERF gun in front of it. But it

363
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: was just another you know, uh, just just terrible dumb

364
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: story about being like, oh, let's just harass this child

365
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: just because. But yeah, zoom calls, video calls, all that

366
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: stuff completely overrated. What is something you think is underrated?

367
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: So I think, and and I'm only saying this now

368
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: because now I'm sort of getting to the point where

369
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find stuff to do during the day. Um,

370
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: lesser known streaming services are highly highly underrated. Walk with

371
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: me here, gentlemen. So I think we all have like

372
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: a streaming stack at this point, right, Like you've got

373
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: like mine is like Netflix, NI Plus, Hulu, maybe Prime Video,

374
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: even though you know sometimes there's stuff on there I

375
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: want to watch sometimes that So, like we all kind

376
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: of have the ones that we go to is our defaults.

377
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: But like there's so many lesser known, cheaper, more kind

378
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: of fringe type of of streaming services that might be

379
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: worth checking out based on like what your interests are.

380
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: So like, if you're looking for a lot of say

381
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: like old black movies and television shows, you would go

382
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: to Quality TV. Or if you're looking for like indie

383
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: films or documentaries, you'd go to Keino. Now, if you

384
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: want to learn some stuff, you could do master Class.

385
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if master Class is really lesser known,

386
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: but I don't know if people know that you can

387
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: also stream all of that stuff. Um, if you really

388
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: like jazz performances, there's a streaming service by Quincy Jones

389
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: called quest TV. Like, there's a lot of lesser known

390
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: streaming services out there that are pretty cheap depending on

391
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: what you're kind of individual interests are, and they're not

392
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: that hard to find. I think if there's a cave

393
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: you out to any of it is that the user

394
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: interface just varies greatly. I mean, you know, we all

395
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: know that Hulu sucks to kind of get around in

396
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: terms of the UI, but like some of these can

397
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: be a little little choppy, but they either have like

398
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: an Apple TV app or you can cast through your

399
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: television via Chrome Cast. Like look at lesser known streaming

400
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: services highly highly underrated, Like are you using these to

401
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: replace the standard stack or are they supplementary? They're kind

402
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: of supplementary because I mean, right now, there's not really

403
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: at least from what I can can see, there's not

404
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: like a ton of production stuff that's going on in

405
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: terms of like new shows for the fall or whatever.

406
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: And I've you know, seen a lot of people complain like, oh,

407
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be new movies or just then the other.

408
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: But like there's a lot of older and I'm I'm

409
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: using older in a very relative term. I'm talking maybe

410
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: five years ago. There's like a lot of older content

411
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: from like when we were at peak too much TV.

412
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: There's no way any one person has watched all of

413
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: the movies and all of the shows and all that

414
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. So like I'm even having time to

415
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: go back and rediscover stuff that I missed the first time.

416
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Around because I was probably busy doing something else. Like

417
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: right now, I'm watching season two of American Gods. I'm

418
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: like in the middle of that because I watched the

419
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: first season and then didn't really get to the second one.

420
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: Before that, I was watching, uh, Green Leaf, which is

421
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: the show on Netflix. Well it's it's from Oprah's network

422
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: to own network, but it's like this southern black church

423
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: family drama kind of ship. It's really good. It's on Netflix.

424
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: But like, I'm going back now and like discovering all

425
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: this stuff that I missed before, and I'm like able

426
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: to watch it in the vacuum of really somewhat solitude

427
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 1: because the articles have been written about them, the reviews

428
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: that went out, the shows are wrapped. It's like no,

429
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: now I can like enjoy it for what it is

430
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: and its own little capsule and not have to be

431
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: influenced by outside reviews or opinions. Yeah. As a as

432
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: a service to our listeners, we dive into whatever is

433
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: trending in the Netflix Top ten, just to you know,

434
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: let them know whether it's worth watching, if they're any

435
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: ideas philosophies buried there in and Uh. This past week,

436
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: I watched Smurfs from two thousand eleven, and it was

437
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: great to have the uh, you know, the entire critical

438
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: consensus already. You know, all the scholarly articles have already

439
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: been written about Smurfs two thousand eleven. So it was

440
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: nice to have that body all the way out there.

441
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: What is a what's a myth? What's something people think

442
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: it's true, you know, to be false or vice versa.

443
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: You know, I've I don't know if people still ascribe

444
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: to the myth that if you eat before swimming, like

445
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: you'll get cramps or something like that. Just having this

446
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: conversation over the weekend. I don't I don't know if

447
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: that myth is really well well for personally, I know

448
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: that it's not true because I've done it, But I

449
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: think it's a myth that might still if I still

450
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: if I still sist out there. I mean, that's an

451
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: old school myth, Like I think it's probably put out

452
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: there by Big Pool. Like, you know, I think we

453
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: were talking about this, Jack, didn't we say it's basically

454
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: big Mom was trying to Yeah, it could be like,

455
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: come on, chill the funk out for like thirty minutes

456
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: before I have to watch you drown in the pool.

457
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: Like wait, I think that's what it was, because the

458
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: one scientific thing was that just sort of the the

459
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: digestive process would draw more blood to your stomach and

460
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: like intestines, and then that may cause someone to be lightheaded.

461
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: But like, in no way saying that, like it is

462
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: a danger to get in there. We don't make kids

463
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: stand still after they eat for like a half hour.

464
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: It's all big old guy swimming laps in the pool

465
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: during the Oh yeah, like uncle, just be like no,

466
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see how long I can go without

467
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: taking a breath. Kids, Last time I did too lengths.

468
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: But you must wait thirty minutes. Alright, let's take a

469
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk about what

470
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: is happening. And we're back, and we are, as Miles mentioned,

471
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: I think, officially two months away from the end of

472
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: the world. Um, the this election, the presidential elections always

473
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: seem like they're a big deal. This one feels especially different. Yeah,

474
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: a little different. I don't know what is it. Why

475
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: Why does this feel sort of we haven't paid a

476
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: lot of attention to campaign finance because it's just seems

477
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: beside the point. I think early on there were some

478
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: stories that Trump was breaking all sorts of records with

479
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: his campaign fundraising, and then Biden came in and he

480
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: was beating Trump after he got secured the nomination. And

481
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: now it seems like things have kind of slowed down

482
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: for Trump and he's having to spend his own money

483
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: or he having to think about it belowing through cash

484
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: like we've we've never seen. There were stories over the

485
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: weekend that said, right now his campaign and other affiliated

486
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: groups have spent over fifty eight million dollars just on

487
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: legal expenses. So that is just stuff for like them

488
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: trying to you know, do all kinds of things like

489
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: enforce n d A s and other things like to

490
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: try and be you know, have these sort of like

491
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: intentionally sort of cynical lawsuits to try and like buy

492
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit of time. So that bill is

493
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: coming up to about fifty eight million or a little

494
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: bit over that, and they're seeing an accepted form of

495
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: like spending of campaign finance. I mean, you may have

496
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: legal things that you have to deal with, but it's

497
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: like the book. So for example, among the expenses this

498
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: is from an article quote among the expenses paid for

499
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: with campaign donations, are costs for lawyers who are seeking

500
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: more than one million dollars in damages from a former

501
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: campaign staffer who claimed she was the target of s

502
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: dual discrimination and harassment by another aid. Other costs include

503
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: costs during the Russia investigation and a lawsuit seeking to

504
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: block enforcement of a California law requiring the president to

505
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: release his tax returns. So that money is coming out

506
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: of the campaign to like just keep the president like

507
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: from being having to show his hand or his you know,

508
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: dirty laundry. So on top of that, the RNC and

509
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: the campaign together have spent over eight hundred million dollars

510
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: since last July, and they had a two hundred million

511
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: dollar cash advantage when Biden basically became the presumptive nominee

512
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, this is well, he's got two million,

513
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: this is going to be something. But now that money

514
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: would just went into the air, like with those like

515
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: weird ass Super Bowl ads that they had. Apparently Brad

516
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: par Skill started a fundraising operation where people were like

517
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: getting paid very well and they were in like a

518
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: very nice office and there's just a lot of money

519
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: leaving without much thought of like how it's coming back.

520
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: So now we're at the point where the new newest

521
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: headlines you've seen his Trump is not saying like maybe

522
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: I'll spend a hundred million of my own What do

523
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: you guys think should I put a hundred millions of

524
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: my own? He only puts sixty six of his own in.

525
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: So I mean, these are the marks of a very

526
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: very desperate man. And on top of that, Forbes said

527
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: his net worth went down six hundred million in the

528
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: last year. So it's I mean, I don't know, I

529
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: you can imagine like someone like him is like he

530
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: doesn't want to face legal fees coming out of this,

531
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: like he must win to just kick the can down

532
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: the road a little bit longer. But yeah, this is

533
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: the all kinds of all kinds of money going out

534
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: and his net worth going down is because so much

535
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: of his money is tied up in like hotels and

536
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: hotels and everything. Big cities in general, uh are are

537
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: getting hit by the coronavirus more the Vancouver Trump Hotel

538
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: shut down permanently. Shout out to them. But yeah, it's

539
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: it's like some places just like don't They're just like,

540
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want to do with this building.

541
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: It's like toxic to like half the people in the country. Right.

542
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: That's wild that he can just you know, defend himself

543
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: against the illegal things that he has done as part

544
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: of his campaign. It's it's kind of like a little

545
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: loophole he discovered in the system. There's another like quotes

546
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: that have come out of you know, a lot of

547
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: this story is sort of investigating what's going on with

548
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: the fundraising. Is that a few people on the campaign

549
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: are now kind of like, you know, there are some

550
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: austerity measures going into place, some belt tightening that's happening,

551
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of people like, I don't that's not

552
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: that's not a good look when we're, you know, around

553
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: sixty days out from election day, like you want to

554
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: be able to be like, okay, we've we've were ready

555
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: to just make it rain, rather than being like, okay,

556
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: we gotta we're gonna have to figure out how to

557
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: stretch this out. Um. But I think it's a testament

558
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: to like all of the confusing sort of ads and

559
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: mailers and all kinds of things that this campaign has

560
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: to do to try and you know, eke out a

561
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: win by literally any means. Yeah, it's especially surprising that

562
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: he's especially bad that he's out of money when you

563
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: consider that he never pays independent contractors who worked for him.

564
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: Uh So it's gotta it's gotta hurt. Yeah, let's talk

565
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: about Sturgis. We had talked about the like some early

566
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: numbers that are coming in that a hundred cases had

567
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: been tied to the smash Mouth concert slash Sturgis overall.

568
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: And now, according to a new study which tracked anonymized

569
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: cell phone data from the rally, over two hundred and

570
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: fifty thousand coronavirus cases have been tied to the ten

571
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: day event. So that's a slight increase over a hundred,

572
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand, quarter million um that that's

573
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean. In the beginning I thought, I was like, Okay,

574
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: obviously this is this is a super spreader event. And

575
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: then it was like, Okay, a man in his sixties

576
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: in Minnesota passed away last week after contracting the virus

577
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: at the rally. And now they're saying South Dakota as

578
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 1: one of the country's highest in rates of infection because

579
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: of this. Uh, the cost they're saying to public health,

580
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: it's an estimated twelve billion dollars in public health costs

581
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: for this, for this like just sudden like yeah, there

582
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: we go quarter million cases there you go, just yeah

583
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: for this, like you know, potentially based on like the

584
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: lack of insurance and what like the total cost is

585
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: for two cases like this out of nowhere could possibly

586
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: be up to that. They're not saying that's what it

587
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: is because I was an outside GRUS group making that estimate.

588
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: But the way they described this, the researchers say, quote

589
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: the Sturgis motorcycle Rally represents a situation where many of

590
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: the worst case scenarios for super spreading occurred simultaneously. The

591
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: event was prolonged, included individuals packed closely together, involved a

592
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: large out of town population, and had low compliance with

593
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: recommended infection countermeasures such as the use of masks. Have

594
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: they looked into weather having all those worst scenarios together

595
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: off sets like do they off set each other? Is

596
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: that maybe? Do you think someone was thinking of it?

597
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: Like the Planters, Like, but what if man just on

598
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: the off chance everyone's safe because it's so bad, Like

599
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: it's so it's like that it's like the Simpsons episode

600
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: where like Mr Burns has all the diseases and the

601
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: doctors showing them trying to put it through the door,

602
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: Like it seems like you have an immunity because you

603
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: have all these diseases trying to fight. That's wild. You

604
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: ever think they just had someone from the campaign died

605
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: like a month and a half ago at a rally. Yeah,

606
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: it's it's bad. I mean, I don't know if there's

607
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: that channel like all gas No Breaks. Oh my god,

608
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: I was just about to say all gast breaks. I

609
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: was just I coronavirus. What is so all gas no breaks?

610
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: This channel? This dude goes to literally the most lit

611
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: things in the country constantly, whether that's an anti quarantine

612
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: event in Sacramento to a Memorial Day hang in Michigan,

613
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: to Minneapolis protests to Portland's like he's just there and

614
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, and he's kind of doing a very man

615
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: on the street, very dry humor and just kind of

616
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 1: letting the people make the content for him, and like

617
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: between him and his camera operator and the editing, like

618
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: it does its own thing. I'm sure you've seen an

619
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: all gas No Brakes clip if I showed you one.

620
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: But like, I mean, he was at the Portland protests,

621
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: he was at protests in Minneapolis. He was I think

622
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: somewhere in Florida for spring break, Like he's been at

623
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: all of these places where people are kind of congregating,

624
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: and he's just putting the mic out there and letting

625
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: people talk. It's wild. Two old bikers. The video for

626
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: Sturgeon starts off with this guy just go making motorcycle sounds.

627
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: They're at a stage and he has like the post

628
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: has his mask on, but he's like all right, and

629
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: this guy's just like coronavirus, and like they're talking to

630
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: all these bikers. There's like one biker who's like a

631
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: problematic dude who's trying to play both side. When a

632
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: black guy pulls up and saying, like, funk the police,

633
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: and he's like yeah, man, because they're hey, I appreciate it.

634
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: Like it's all kinds of awkward. But you also see

635
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: the mentality of so many people saying they're either like, well,

636
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die either way. If you're gonna get you're

637
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna get it. And also, fun, funk, all funk. All

638
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: the liberals and socialists that are telling us to be

639
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: scared was sort of like the overarching theme. But yeah,

640
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: there's some people who are out there with the great

641
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: sound effects though, yeah, well, we will keep an eye

642
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: on this, uh super spreader event and coronavirus. I was like, yeah,

643
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: that people who ride motorcycles are still doing like the

644
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: four year olds motorcycle sounds like that's still well. You

645
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: have to you have to watch it because like the

646
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: guy is like, I don't know, it's like no, no, no,

647
00:34:50,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: that's the way his face CONTs towards it's so good. Yeah,

648
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: video like a uh alright, oh my well so uh

649
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: the IOC, uh, the International Olympic Committee saw that what

650
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: Surgis did and was like, we will raise you a

651
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: global scale. How about we take this global gang. Uh.

652
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: So obviously the Olympics were canceled, although it didn't seem

653
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: like it was so obvious to the IOC because it

654
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: took them forever to cancel it because of all the

655
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: money that was at stake. But now, uh, they are

656
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: basically saying they're they're still gonna get it done in

657
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: get it done in one of the heads of the

658
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: i said the Games will start as planned on July

659
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: quote with or without COVID, and WHOA pretty sure it's

660
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna be with COVID, right, al though COVID is not

661
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: a sponsor signing on what are you talking about with

662
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 1: or without you COVID? You're not invided my party COVID,

663
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: and I don't care if they're not. And so then

664
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: another you know, the the shubris and confidence coming from

665
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: the IOC is really something. This official goes on to

666
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: say it will be the games that quote conquered COVID.

667
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: You don't. We don't know that. We don't know that.

668
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: But you're saying, well, here's the thing. So so now

669
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: we're saying, well, would have would experts have to say,

670
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: they're saying virus experts have warned that the Olympics are

671
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: unlikely to happen even in as the pandemic won't be

672
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: contained in time, and even if developed, a vaccine would

673
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: take years to reach some of the poor countries. Speculation

674
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: the Games will be canceled had increased there So anyway,

675
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: they go on to say that there's another official, like

676
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: the Japanese sort of chief executive for the Olympics said, quote,

677
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: if a vaccine is ready, that will be a benefit.

678
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: But we're not saying we can't hold the event without it.

679
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: It's not a precondition and it's still gonna be in Tokyo. Right, Yeah,

680
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: that's I don't see how that's that's really gonna be possible.

681
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: I know, going up to the Olympics, one of the

682
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: things that they were talking about is sort of a

683
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: disease preventative measure, was that the beds were going to

684
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: be made out of paper. They're gonna be like cardboard,

685
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: like twin Bucks beds. I guess I don't know, um,

686
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: not that I think that would help, you know, kind

687
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: of stave off transmission, but like, you've got so many

688
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: people from so many countries, and i mean, look Olympians. Fuck,

689
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be so much sex and cavorting and everything

690
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: going on between. I mean, you've got these young athletes

691
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: at their peak physical prime from all over the world

692
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: in one place for like two weeks. I mean, come on,

693
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: can't stop the fucking. I mean, did you listen to

694
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: Adam rippon episode of Last school ESAs when he was

695
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: talking about the Olympic village at the Winter Olympics, And

696
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's what I thought. It's like

697
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: when they're like, it can get a nasty in the

698
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: Olympic village, Yeah, I can only imagine like and at

699
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: the same time, the when you see people so cynical,

700
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: and you know, the motivating factor in all of this

701
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: is just to stave off the loss of billions of dollars.

702
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: It's just reasons like, oh, they really don't give a funk.

703
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: And it pains me because Tokyo is like a second

704
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: home for me, like all my Japanese family lives in

705
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: the area, and the idea that it's you know, could

706
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: be ground zero for some really reckless global sporting event.

707
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: It was really disheartening. But I have a feeling they

708
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: might have to cancel this. They may be like, you know,

709
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: because the other thing is the shares of the Density Corporation,

710
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: which is like the just massive advertising firm that put

711
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: together like the like the largest sponsorship package in the

712
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: history of the Olympics. Their stock one like on the

713
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: strength of these comments too, So you know, you know,

714
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: it's all the game. Maybe it's all there. Everybody's holding hands.

715
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the the hubrists of the modern Olympic Games

716
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: to the i o C as well documented like every

717
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: city that it's been in there's been some kind of issue. Yeah,

718
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: except for Atlanta. What was that like during like the

719
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: development in the lead up to were you living in

720
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta at the time. No, no, no, I wasn't. I

721
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: was still in Alabama at that point. I moved to

722
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta proper in n so like the years afterwards. But

723
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: I mean, having lived here since then, I can't really

724
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: say were the Olympics. And maybe I'm speaking from a

725
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: non local point of view, but I can't really see

726
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: where the Olympics on a long term basis has done

727
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: a huge amount of damage. I'm not gonna say there

728
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: hasn't been damaged. I'm sure there has been, just in

729
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: terms of like relocations and things like that. But even

730
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: when the Olympics were in Atlanta, with Atlanta being a

731
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: landlocked city, I mean a lot of the events were

732
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: in other states. Like there was stuff in Alabama, there

733
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: was stuff in South Carolina, there were stuff in Florida.

734
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: So everything wasn't right in the city anywhere. That is

735
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: wild now that I think about it, that the Southeast

736
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: had the Olympics like that recently. That's uh one of

737
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: the great great games too. Yeah, seriously, Um, that's Carrie

738
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: Drugs here right when she had the wild with her

739
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: busted ankle, and that Michael Johnson was like the Big

740
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: four year. Yeah, the Gold nikesh so dope air Max

741
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: sevens that came out the next year in all Gold

742
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: reference to that one of the more popular nake airmax

743
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: is to this day. So you know, commercialism works on

744
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: us occasionally, But but this, I don't know, this just

745
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: seems I could totally see speaking of all gas, no break.

746
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: I could totally see capitalism just going just fucking jamming

747
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: this one through, just being like we're getting this thing

748
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: done one way or another, especially if if Trump gets reelected.

749
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, the xenophobic patriotism is going to be

750
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: off the charts. But isn't there There's already like a

751
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: problem with the IOC in the US potentially because of Trump,

752
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: right like we're yeah, like because something he's doing, oh yeah,

753
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: it's hiss u s could be thrown out of Olympics

754
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: over Trump funding threats World Anti Doping Agency warrants. So

755
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: because the Trump is threatening to pull funding from the

756
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: World Anti Doping Agency and they're like, okay, well if

757
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: you do that, then there's a chance we you will

758
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: not be allowed to compete. And I know they don't

759
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: want that because it's like the one moment where Americans

760
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: forget how trash the country isn't like especially after this year.

761
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we need that ship so bad and and

762
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: I need all those like very sappy pre produced packages

763
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: talking about like the fucking struggle of this young man

764
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: from this land, like from this country who came here

765
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: for the American dream and is now making his foster

766
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: family happen. Whatever that is. It's always a same ship.

767
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: But like we see, it's so good at that ship.

768
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: I know they have like a contract through like or whatever,

769
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: but they're so good at like whipping up those packages.

770
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Chloe Kim one for when she won

771
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: her snowboarding medal, uh the last Winter Olympics in I

772
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: was like, let's see it, man, let's see her parents

773
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: doing everything for her and she's so yep. Shout out

774
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: to the producers of the pre produced packages. Alright, let's

775
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And

776
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: we're back, and uh, let's talk about fires. There's a

777
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: fine coating of dust around the entire western half of

778
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: America right now. There's fires in Washington, there's fires in Denver,

779
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: southern California, northern California. And so what one story that

780
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to look into is there's a like contrarian

781
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: environmentalist who is typically like, he's not just a total

782
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: right wing quack. He is kind of generally accepted to

783
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: be on board with the findings around climate change. But

784
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 1: he's claiming that it's not just global warming. It's weird

785
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: because so he's saying that it's more complicated than just

786
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: global warming. Is happening. Landscape drives out fires bad. More

787
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: global warming equals more fires. There's like a uh an

788
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: aspect of it where people were for too long fighting

789
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: against forest fires and making sure there were no forest fires,

790
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: which just led to too much growth and too much

791
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: few being built up. And you know, this person's point

792
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: is basically that like the Native Americans used to the

793
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: largest fire seasons in the history of California, for instance,

794
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: happened when indigenous people's were actually like actively burning controlled

795
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: fires to keep things from getting too hot, and the

796
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: sort of surplus of fuel that came about because people were, uh,

797
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: we're fighting against even small forest fires. Have creative fires

798
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: that are so hot that they actually destroy forests, like

799
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: actually kill the forest, whereas like normal controlled burns make

800
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: it possible for the forest to replenish themselves. Um, but

801
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: so it's getting a lot of burn in conservative circles

802
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: that this idea of like people are, uh, it's just

803
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: like a counter factual conservative of side of the climate

804
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: debate quote unquote. But it's like it's not he's not

805
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: claiming that the climate isn't a factor, Like the climate

806
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: is absolutely a factor, and he acknowledges that it's like

807
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: a larger it makes for a longer fire season, And

808
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just like there are plenty of

809
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: like the the whole point about the Native Americans is

810
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: interesting because they were using controlled fires to create these

811
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: large burns that would make it so that fire season

812
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: could be something that they controlled. And now like we

813
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 1: don't have those options available to us because people live

814
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: in too many of the places that they used to burn.

815
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: So now it's basically we have a more out of

816
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: control and longer fire season. Like that's not good. And

817
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: most people are acknowledging the complexities that he's like trying

818
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: to be Like, nobody's acknowledging this, um So I don't know.

819
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: It's just something that is coming up a lot as

820
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: people point to the connection between climate change and this

821
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: sort of out of control wildfire season. But yeah, he's

822
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: not advocating that, he's like so relaxed on the climate

823
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: change stuff. He kind of is, well that I think

824
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: that's pretty disqualifying for any person who's trying to present

825
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: a scientific opinion. But I mean, yeah, I guess it's

826
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: your point. He's walking this very I was reading his

827
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page and he calls himself an eco pragmatist. Yeah,

828
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: that's what his whole thing is. Like, I'm just I

829
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: don't want he's worried that by including false claims or

830
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: exaggerated claims in environmentalists like you know, commentary or what

831
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: he calls activist journalism, the environmentalist movement is disqualifying itself

832
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: among like people who you know, pay attention to this

833
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: sort of stuff, where who might not pay that much

834
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: attention to it. But it's he's going too far, especially

835
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: with this argument. He's like taking it too far in

836
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: the direction of this, you know, and his peers are

837
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: saying that it's not just me being like, you've gone

838
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: too far, sir. His peers are like, no, like he's

839
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: kind of being misleading with the way he's talking about this.

840
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: Um so so do we so we do we rack

841
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: the leaves? Or not? So that's one of the things

842
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: he points to as being like people scoffed at that,

843
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: but it was actually like talking around a true fact.

844
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, he Trump is such an idiot

845
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: that it sounded dumb when he said. I mean, it

846
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: sounded quite literally he was talking to Gavin Newsom like

847
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: it was his thirteen year old step son, and you

848
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: gotta rick these up, we're gonna have a problem. Yeah,

849
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: he wildly misunderstood the true fact. More fuel leads to

850
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: more out of control. Then you're not doing your chores, Gavin. Yeah.

851
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: But the so part of this story, I think it

852
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: ties into it is that a I've also seen people

853
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: be like, well, it's not that climate change is the

854
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: cause of the fires, it's human human behavior doing ship

855
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: like gender reveal parties, which is, oh, that's it's a

856
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 1: very dumb way of approach. Isn't that happening last year too?

857
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 1: It happened last year, Yeah, it happens. It's happened before.

858
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: And Arizona there was one that was awful. I remember California,

859
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: There's been at least two. So this one in particular

860
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: was happened while it was a hundred and sixteen degrees

861
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: in Pasadena. Um, and people are I want to set

862
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: off fucking bang bangs in the fucking dry asked like

863
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: parched environment, just to be like, this fetus has these genitals,

864
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: let's go celebrate these genitals. Yeah, Like it's what the

865
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: funny thing is, like it's brought in now the this

866
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: this woman who is a blogger who apparently is like

867
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: credited for starting the gender reveal party like fad phenomenon.

868
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: Her name is Jenna Carbonitis, and she like went on

869
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: Facebook like begging people to stop doing it like some

870
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: mad scientists who's like a creation has just gotten out

871
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: of hand. But it also like reads really not very sincere.

872
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: This is what her Facebook post said, quote, oh my god, no, okay,

873
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: very impassioned plea for the people. Uh. The fire that

874
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: evacuated parts of California is from a gender reveal party.

875
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: Stop it. Stop having these stupid parties, for the love

876
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: of God. Stop burning things things down to tell everyone

877
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: about your kids, penis, no one cares about you. It

878
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: was a hundred sixteen degrees in Pasadena yesterday and this

879
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: tool thought it would be smart to light a fire

880
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: about his kids. Dick. Toxic masculinity is men thinking they

881
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 1: need to explode something because simply enjoying a baby party

882
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: is for sissy's. Oh and of course I'm getting hate messages.

883
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: Excuse me for having a cake for my family in

884
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Just because I'm the gender review

885
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: inventor doesn't mean I think people should burn down their communities.

886
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,959
Speaker 1: Stop then puts edit. If you agree or don't hate

887
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: this post, please do not put angry or sad reacts

888
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: on it, because Facebook punishes pages who get those reactions

889
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: by limiting their reach. Facebook wants puppy pictures and not

890
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: anti gender reveal screens like oh classy. Like you start

891
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: off and then you're like because Facebook algorithm, like what

892
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 1: so I'm guessing they're having a boy? Yeah yeah right,

893
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: and that was like your kids penis, that's presumptive. But yeah, yeah,

894
00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: we know it's a It's really it's weird. What her

895
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: what is her defense exactly here? Like she but if

896
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: it were a reveal for a girl or whatever female genitals,

897
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: that that would be okay, but like, but it's but

898
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 1: it's a dude celebrating a boy, so it's toxic masculinity.

899
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: Like I feel like her she could have started off

900
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: and like you know, honestly gender revealed parties, like even

901
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: being a thing was an l like society. Yeah, I mean,

902
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: I shouldn't put that ship out there as toxic and

903
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: regressive as funk. Actually, when I think about it, that's

904
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: the thing and not not being like I'm sorry a cake. Yeah,

905
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I I get what she's saying about the

906
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: fact that you need to include explosives in a that

907
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: it went went from cake to like Tanner wite forest, right, Um,

908
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: and I yeah, it is just funny to add some

909
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: s e O, some search engine optimization at the end,

910
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: Like what is so her biggest fear was it really

911
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: that she was going to take a stand on these

912
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: or guys like Facebook punishes paces that get those reacts

913
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: on their posts, like come on now, um, don't be

914
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: frowny face about this post that is in fact infuriating

915
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: in every way. Um. Well, guys, I wanna take you

916
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: inside the home, one of the many homes of Ellen degenerous.

917
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 1: So this person who used to be on her staff,

918
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: who is remaining anonymous because they don't want to could

919
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: be in danger. Right, So I'll just read from you

920
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: the this interview they did with the Daily Mail, who

921
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: you know we've but still still interesting. They said Ellen

922
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: was a hero of mine. I thought she was an

923
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: amazing person. But before I took the position, people were

924
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: warning me not to take it. I was told she

925
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: had very high turnover and that I should day under

926
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: the radar as much as possible, avoid as much direct

927
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: contact with Ellen as possible. Working there was described as

928
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: being more like a boot camp. So that's what she

929
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: hears heading in, I do love that turnover. Like that

930
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: we talk about like a toxic work environment. The result

931
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: of a toxic work environment and people quitting all the

932
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: time sounds like just a a fun pastry um. But

933
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,240
Speaker 1: then she says, when I interviewed with Ellen and Porsche,

934
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 1: I felt much better about the job. They were both charming,

935
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: funny and perfectly lovely. I was a little bit nervous,

936
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: but it was well paid. So that's you know, that's

937
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: not surprising. We have seen that side of Ellen for Aaron,

938
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: for her entire public career. Uh. The harsh reality of

939
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: the quote degenerous regime soon became clear. After she started.

940
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,479
Speaker 1: The staff is confronted each morning with a laundry list

941
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: of passive aggressive notes, listing what the entertainer didn't like

942
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: about the previous day. That's the thing that I'm most

943
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: struck by in this interview is the level of energy

944
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: that has to be expanded by Ellen to put this

945
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: much negative negativity out there. Um So, violations included a

946
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: chef using a guest toilet, so basically the help a

947
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: maid forgetting to put a piece of trash on the recycling.

948
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: Ellen is terribly obsessive and if anything's out of order

949
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: in her environment, she gets upset. There might be twenty

950
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,240
Speaker 1: to thirty things every day. We're talking about the finest,

951
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: finest details here. Assault shaker out of place, where a

952
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 1: light switch left on, Assault shaker out of place really

953
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: is giving me a misery like Cathy Bates and misery vibes,

954
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: where it's just like that thing is slightly tilted to

955
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: the wrong in the wrong direction. Part of that, I

956
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: just remember how she just messed up James CON's legs.

957
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: I think I saw it like when I was way

958
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: too young. I think I saw it when I was

959
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: like five, like in the eighties. I don't know about this,

960
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: ya was there a moment? Was that like when he's

961
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: trying to escape or some ship. I think when he's

962
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: trying to escape, he knocks over a chess piece, uh,

963
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: and then puts it back, But he puts it back

964
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 1: for and that's what gets his legs. That's my favorite

965
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: villain thing of like when the person thinks they're smart,

966
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: but they have every detail like prem down that that

967
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: labels slightly askew. Yeah. Um. The staff was getting better

968
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: and better and making fewer mistakes, but she couldn't help herself,

969
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: so she would lay traps. She would actually leave match

970
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: sticks around the house behind cupboard doors, cushions, or books

971
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: to see if the staff was cleaning and moving things.

972
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: One day, the staff found around eight of them, all

973
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: in weird places. The rest of the day became a

974
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: race to find them all before she got home and

975
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: fired someone. Oh my Jesus, that's really fucking just it's

976
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: like shows that you have such a fucked up relationship

977
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: with people who are in your employe you know, or

978
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: like that you're like, well, if I pay you, I

979
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,959
Speaker 1: can I can do what the funk I want because

980
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm giving you money, and that means psychological trauma through

981
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: these matchstick fucking traps. You've got her staff at work

982
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: saying these same kind of having her having the same

983
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: kind of control issues and now it's at home to like,

984
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: what was this thing about the place twice? If you

985
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: need us to get out? Yeah right. I think she

986
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: fired people for not liking the consistency of the latte

987
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: foam the um because the machine was dirty or some ship. Yeah,

988
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,919
Speaker 1: she wanted the coffee maker deep cleaned every day after

989
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: complaining that there was too much or too little froth

990
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 1: on her latte um, which doesn't really relate, Like those

991
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: things don't relate. That's the milk steamer. Ellen. That just

992
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 1: shows you how disconnected she is from the latte making

993
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: process that her staff lives to her about. Oh yeah, okay,

994
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: we'll deepp we'll deep clean the coffee machine. Then yes,

995
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: then you should deep clean every time. The latte foam

996
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: was a mess. And it's like, I don't even know

997
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: how the latte foams made. When someone came to the house,

998
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: for example, to repair an appliance, she wouldn't hold back.

999
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: It could be something as simple as the compressor on

1000
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: the refrigerator making too much noise. That is that's a

1001
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 1: detail that I'm just like, Okay, this person is telling

1002
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: the truth, because like, you can't make that up. That's

1003
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: absolutely like there's something that just rings so true about that.

1004
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: Just like the compressor, one of the top security firms

1005
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: in Hollywood terminated their contract with her. Some of the

1006
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: criticisms that this source heard where that Ellen didn't like

1007
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: the way they walked. I'm not even kidding. They literally

1008
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: didn't like the way they walked. Literally didn't like the

1009
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: way they walked. Also how they opened and closed doors.

1010
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: What like opening closing I get because that's like a

1011
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: thing I grew up my granmar that door closing, but

1012
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: opening around the house or anything, Yeah, exactly, But what

1013
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: are people entering like fucking Cramer and Seinfeld? Like this

1014
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: is all stuff that I have see like people who

1015
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: are really on bad terms with their roommates, Like I've

1016
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: heard them like start to complain, like call them like

1017
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: this person is like a thunderfoot they everywhere, they just

1018
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: like stop around, and it's like, you know, that's clearly

1019
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: because you're just like annoyed by this person. That's not

1020
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: they don't have especially powerful footfalls, like they're just um.

1021
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: What One detail from the article that I wanted to

1022
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: point out though, is that Ashton Kutcher is apparently one

1023
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: of the people who has tweeted in her defense, but

1024
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: she and her team have only treated me in my

1025
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: team with respecting kindness. She never pandered to celebrity, which

1026
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: I always saw as refreshing honesty. I just wanted to

1027
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: note that via listening to uh way too many hours

1028
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: of podcasts, I heard a anecdote about Ashton Kutcher from

1029
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: somebody who is like a successful writer director in Hollywood,

1030
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: but one of their early jobs was working for Ashton

1031
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: Kutcher's um viral video site. Uh. They made that viral

1032
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: video which the girl has diarrhea in the hot tub. Um.

1033
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: That is a staged prank video made by Ashton Kutcher's team.

1034
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: But anyways, this writer director got fired by Ashton kutchers

1035
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: like main right hand person and asked why he had

1036
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: been fired, and the entourage member said, Ashton hates your face.

1037
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: Brouh create punk. I forgot about that. Yeah. Oh, and

1038
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: then super producer on hose Nay and the chat says

1039
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher also told to me more that he didn't

1040
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: think alcoholism is a thing, in order to get her

1041
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: to lose her sobriety and drink with them. That's right,

1042
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: I remember you talking about that in that book. Wow,

1043
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: So you know, I think that's the thing, Like, when

1044
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: you're living on that planet, it's hard for you to

1045
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: see that it's any different than how you are. You're like,

1046
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, like from all the rich people I know,

1047
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: like I was pretty chill celebrities, I mean, not a celebrity.

1048
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody with an income that's less than

1049
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: four million dollars a year. But I imagine she would

1050
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: treat those people okay as well. Yeah, totally. Um. Anyways,

1051
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,439
Speaker 1: the like these details are just like I I don't

1052
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: have any like not that I really doubted the complaints before,

1053
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: but these details are just like two like dead on

1054
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: for me to like think that any any of this

1055
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: is made up. I would love though that this is

1056
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: just like the best coordinated smear. Like everyone's like these

1057
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: details are just too good to be and she's like,

1058
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm kind it's a coordinated attack against me.

1059
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm just curious about the psychology where you get that.

1060
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: What is it because she's so rich that she feels

1061
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: omnipotent and therefore everything should be in her control? Or

1062
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: is it that like is it from lack prior to

1063
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: this that now the pendulum just gone completely the other

01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: just floating around somewhere where someone was saying that they

1102
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: feel like there's just one set of clippers for black

1103

Speaker 1: Republicans and they have to check it out like a

1104
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: library book. And I believe that I believe that hands down,

1105
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: they've all got kind of that. It's it's either close cropper,

1106
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: it's like that weird like nineties fade. Mom does like

1107
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: it when you don't go to a black barbershop and

1108
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: you go to where like the conservative part of town,

1109

Speaker 1: got the gorilla grip, pussy, Ben Shapiro. Gorillas are not

1129
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: time stronger than a human. If your vagina could apply

1130
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: the same pressure as a grip of a full glown

1131
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: silverback gorilla, the damage to a human penis would be devastating.

1132
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: The cock would be completely annihilated. That's really good. That's

1133
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: really good. You should you should speed up a little
