00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Hit

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Me with Your trend. Shot that is courtesy of Johnny Davis,

00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: one of several eighties rock short show titles he sent

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: our way. You can look forward to those being rolled

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: out in the next couple of days. I am Jack

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: O'Brien and I am thrilled to be joined by a

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: very special guest co host, Joel Moni. Hi, I'm back back,

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: never stopped and excited. So let's tell the people what

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: is trending? Cheslee Christ is trending. Miss America two thousand,

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: nineteen died this past weekend. Um and yeah, just very

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: sad story. It's a difficult time for folks affected by

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: suicide and it impacts a lot of people in a

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: lot of different ways. We know Regina King recently lost

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: for only son and so, and especially at the start

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: of Black History Month, to have these sort of two,

16
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, high profile black people lose their lives, it's

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: it's challenging. And so you know, I've been pretty open

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: on my Twitter page about suffering with suicide ideation, and

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I posted the number last night for the suicide hotline

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: in case people need it, and you can restate it here.

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: If you need call, You're absolutely worth the call. They're available.

Speaker 1: New Year to you. It is the starts February one, UM.

30
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: So it is Lunar New Year's Eve. It's the year

31
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: of the Tiger. Amazing big. I I don't really know

32
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: enough about this to like know what the what is

33
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: significant about the year of the Tiger. I do like

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: to look like, well, okay, past years of the Tiger,

35
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: what what happened? And I think my my wife and

36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I were both born in the year the Monkey, and

37
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: then like something else happened in the year the Monkey

38
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: that was significant in our relationships. So I am a

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: full believer, and yet I have not done the work

40
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: to shout out to my mom. She was born a

41
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: year the Tiger. So many returns to her I also

42
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: am not an expert in this field, but I'm very excited. Um,

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Disney has been doing a lot of lunar New Year celebrations.

44
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: I know a lot of my friends are getting out

45
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: there and celebrating. So it's you'sing. I hope you're having

46
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: a blast. I feel like you're at the Tiger should

47
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: bring like a lot of powerful energy. It's gonna be fun. Yeah,

48
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: and tomorrow is Black History Month, crowned me. I'm so excited. Yeah,

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: very cool. Um. You copied some tweets here from Ashley,

50
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Nicole Black, and Queen Yes and val Garie, who is

51
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: an incredibly talented writer. Uh so we'll just we'll just

52
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: give you some Black History Month ago overs. Especially Nicole

53
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: Black tweeted, I don't know who needs to see this,

54
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: but if your company's Black History Month plan involves black

55
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: people doing stuff for you for free, you might have

56
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: missed the plot a bit. I just hope I caught

57
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: you before you sent that email. Friend, Actually it's too late.

58
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: I love you, but they already made the calls. So

59
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: here's my advice. If you, a black person, have received

60
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: one of these emails, particularly if you received this email

61
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: from a company that hasn't used you the rest of

62
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: the year, doesn't bother to call you at other times

63
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: check up your prices. You just raise those prices sky

64
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: high because you don't have to do the work. You

65
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: already know it. They need you. You could do it.

66
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: You could get away with it, double triple your prices.

67
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. They'll pay you. Second Valkyrie tweeted

68
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: with Black History Months starting tomorrow here if you're reminders

69
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: for y'all, one capitalized to be in black. This is

70
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: not up for negotiation anymore. We have a community have

71
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: decided the B is capitalized. Uh, it's weird to call

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: us African Americans. We don't have really a tie with

73
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: the entire continent. It's just not specific enough. It doesn't

74
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: make sense. We're Black Americans. Please capitalize the B. It's

75
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: how we're moving going forward. Black and POC are not energaining.

76
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: What people have color and black. It's not a ben diagram. Okay,

77
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: different things. They should be treated differently. Sometimes black people

78
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: fall into POC, but also we are our own community.

79
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: Great three support black folks year round. This goes back

80
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: to what I was talking about, Ashley. If you are

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: not supporting black people year round only calling them for

82
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Black History Month. It's a problem. You have a whole

83
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: like February is the first, like second month. I know months, Okay,

84
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: I did this. There's plenty of your time left in

85
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: this year. So have you hit somebody up in February,

86
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: you better call them in March, in April and May

87
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: and all those other ones too, because they're working matters

88
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: and they can probably talk about stuff beyond just being black. Right,

89
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: I have no experience in the field of being black,

90
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: Like can you speak to just like examples of like

91
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: what so people hit you for? Work during Black History

92
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: Month is like a project or like write something? Okay,

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: So a lot of black folks, you know, it's it's

94
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: a new millennium, and a lot of us have multiple jobs.

95
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Uh so, like back when I was a freelance writer,

96
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: we would make like the majority of our money in February.

97
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, I mean like a bunch of

98
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: my other black freelance friends. Like, all of a sudden,

99
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: you just get these boogle calls from very large corporations

100
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: being like, hey, can you write an article for us?

101
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Can you sit on a panel? Can you create a video? Well?

102
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Or worse, will you read our statement on black history

103
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: and to prove it, and frequently those requests with like, oh,

104
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: can you do it for free? Or it's hey, we

105
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: need more black people, do you know any that is

106
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: your responsibility. Is your responsibility to recruit. I am not

107
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: a recruiter. It's not my job to increase or like

108
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: develop your race relations within your company. The fact that

109
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: you're asking someone to do it for free because you

110
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: all handily understand that they're black is bananas and insulting.

111
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Particularly right when we were going into quarantine, there was

112
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: like so many people being like, we're gonna have a

113
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: conversation about being black in America. I am not an activist, okay,

114
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: Like I've marched in some things, but I'm not on

115
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: the ground changing ship, Like why would you call me

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: because of the color of my skin? Which is sort

117
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: of the issue in the first place. So it's a problem, um,

118
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: but it can be a very lucrative problem if you

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: know how to manage it. I just cannot encourage black

120
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: people enough to raise significantly your prices. There you go,

121
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: that sounds like that sounds like good advice. All right,

122
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we will be right

123
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: back and we're back a. Uh, Spotify is back in

124
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: the headlines because they've solved with the Joe Rogan thing. Um, so,

125
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: I know people were concerned because this massively popular podcast

126
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: just he throws a factual things out there that are

127
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: not backed up by research or facts, and uh, it's

128
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: getting spread far and wide. So Spotify is combating that

129
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: by adding content warnings to know, not Joe Rogan's show,

130
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: just any podcast about COVID nineteen. Yeah, we're working to

131
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: add a content and visory to any podcast episode that

132
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: includes a discussion about COVID nineteen that's chaotic for their work,

133
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: every single and are you going by what's been tagged

134
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: or actually what's in the episode? Right? Presumably, Like the

135
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: thing to do would first of all be to hire

136
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: fact checkers to like start looking into Joe Rogan's podcasts

137
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: and pull down the ones that are full of ship.

138
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: But that would involve like hiring people and not just

139
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: like taking the existing people and being like, all right,

140
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: we don't have any budget for this, but let's start

141
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: adding the this standard text to every episode that mentions this.

142
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: The page directs you to a information hub, you know, Like, honestly, no,

143
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: it's just got a bunch of facts and statistics that

144
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: no one's gonna actually go look at, because you know,

145
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: if people looked at pages with a bunch of stats

146
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: and statistics, we wouldn't be in this problem. In the

147
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have problem. They could just remove Joe Rogan

148
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, replace his shows with a bunch

149
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: of web pages with facts and statistics. But the fact

150
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: that they're not removing his shows proves that they know

151
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: at some level that his work is very like seductive

152
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: and dangerous to a certain type of broken brain. And

153
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: so I don't know, this is somewhat to be expected

154
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: and also absurd. Yeah, Joe recently came out and said

155
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: that he was going to have like a more fair

156
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: and balanced approach to this, but it's bananas because it's

157
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: usually have somebody saying facts and someone spinning lies, and

158
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,359
Speaker 1: on top of that, like Spotify, apparently it's been reported differently. Um.

159
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: I think those variety said they lost two billion in

160
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: market shares and I think San Francisco chronicler uh said

161
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: four billion. But whatever, it is, like they've taken a

162
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: huge hit um over this and the idea of essentially

163
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, well, we directed you to a page,

164
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: so that solves the issue when particularly Joe Rogan fans

165
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: are just rampant for his content, and I don't think

166
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: are going to believe or work around anything other than

167
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: directly what's coming out of Joe's mouth is silliness. And

168
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: on top of all of that, it's a really interesting

169
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: like perspective for the podcast. They paid so much money

170
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: to get Joe Rogan exclusively onto Spotify, so of course

171
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: they can't go after him or say and I know

172
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: that like Spotify, the Swedish company, and you know, they're

173
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: not really caring about vaccines in the first place. I

174
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: do think they're also a company that cares about money. Um,

175
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: but my guess is that their contract with Joe doesn't

176
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: allow them to do much. I just wonder how much

177
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: is their hands are tied with the contract and the

178
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: fact that they've locked him in and spent so much

179
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: money getting his show over there, and how much is

180
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: we're comfortable with what he's saying and actually support it.

181
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: And here's something to sort of plaquate you either way.

182
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: It's beyond ridiculous. And Joe, oh my gosh, a comedian

183
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: who's strictly a comedian should not have this much power, right,

184
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: it's too much. Also like the putting a content warning

185
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: on the same content warning on a Joe Rogan show

186
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: that goes on a BBC interview with like Dr Fauci

187
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: that kind of like sends the exact wrong message. And

188
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: like the thing that's at the bottom of the whole

189
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Rogan thing where he just like kind of uh, you know,

190
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: shuffles through various things he's heard and then treats them

191
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: all exactly the same and like discusses them based on

192
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: like how interesting he finds them as opposed to like

193
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: what's true and what is really a damaging lie that

194
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: you will not go through the process of actually debunking.

195
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: Also love the In his eatement, Joe Rogan was like,

196
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I love Neil Young, I love Joni Mitchell. I love

197
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: her music and then named a song that is not

198
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: by her. Um so oh Joe, oh no no boy? Yeah,

199
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: Um all right, well Nick Cannon has another baby. I

200
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: look forward to the Nick Cannon coult. I really think

201
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: this is his plan. Um, I know, I forgot what

202
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the symptom is called. Men when they just feel this

203
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: like very intense need to pro create, it's not all men.

204
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: But it's like a I can't remember what it's called. Basically,

205
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: they're the idea is like, what's most important to me

206
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: at this point is just procreate, Like, have lots of babies.

207
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: It does not matter how they're raised. I just want

208
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: more of me out there in the world, living our

209
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: best lives. And that to me sounds like cold behavior.

210
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: It sounds like cold behavior. I imagine not all of

211
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: his children are going to be about it. Um. I

212
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: think someone them are gonna feel because how can you

213
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: possibly give your love and attention to this many children

214
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: constantly spread out all over the place. It doesn't seem

215
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: practical or logical. Uh, it is a lot. I just oh, Nick,

216
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I really I want you to want better for your babies.

217
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: I think five in the past two years is enough. Like,

218
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: I hope you find the satisfaction that you're looking for. Um.

219
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, beyond the act of procreating, there is the

220
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: act of having to raise them, and you gotta do

221
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: that for a barren minimum of eighteen years. It just

222
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: seems like a lot of working, a lot of money. Uh,

223
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: particularly someone who does not want kids. H my god, exhausting.

224
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: Right specifically said like I'm done and has had for

225
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: five in the last two years, four different women. Imagine

226
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: having to keep four different partners happy much work for yourself. Yeah,

227
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: it's got big, big love vibes. I'm just saying, like,

228
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: you've made some interesting points about what is driving us,

229
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: all right, and finally, uh so, I don't think we

230
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: cover this last week. Maybe we did, but I just

231
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: thought it was noteworthy, you know, as all these uh

232
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, there's a a truck uh parade. I think

233
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what they're calling it, because that's

234
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: like not toxic masculine enough, but a big truck parade

235
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: up in UH Canada where they're lashing out at people,

236
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: asking them to wear masks or requiring them to get vaccinated.

237
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: So one of the people who went viral on the

238
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: side of anti vax was this x Washington state trooper.

239
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: He retired rather than get vaccinated, UH and in his

240
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: final sign off told the governor to kiss his ass.

241
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: And so he just died of COVID. Stories that begin

242
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: like that, we're like, when we're hearing again from this

243
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: person usually and either as them passing away from COVID

244
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: or them starting a political career like running for state Senate.

245
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for him he got the dead one. But it's

246
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: a yeah, I don't know. Do these stories not make

247
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: it through to the people who like shared this, Like

248
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: is there anybody who's out there on Facebook doing the

249
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: work of like being like, hey, you know that this

250
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: guy just died of COVID, right, But it seems their

251
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: stances But people die, right, It's always the response to, well, yeah,

252
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: people die, but we shouldn't have to give up what

253
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: they imagine our civil liberties, uh, in order to not die.

254
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: It's a confusing place to stand and just be like,

255
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to die, to be outside without a mask

256
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: where I'm prepared to die, to not take a vaccine

257
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: that is effective. I guess that's I mean, we Miles

258
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: and I talked a little bit about as far as

259
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: for like government officials who are very anti vax your

260
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: demographic will die and arger numbers. It doesn't make sense

261
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: to me you need them to vote for you. Why

262
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: are you comfortable with them dying and massly? I mean,

263
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: when we the hospital situation, despite the fact that we're

264
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: not covering it the same way, hasn't changed that much.

265
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: Like doctors are still exhausted and still working around the clock,

266
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: and there are still places where there aren't enough beds. Um.

267
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: They just don't seem to care. They're just very prepared

268
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: to die, which is an interesting space for us to

269
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: stand because we can't help them, like we can't force

270
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: you to get back to or we don't want to anyway,

271
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: And I just are we just waiting for people to

272
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: dine out. That's so morbid. I really hate standing in

273
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: that space and just being like, I guess I just

274
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: gotta wait for folks to die, right, And that's also

275
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: like not how it works. It's also just them catching

276
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: it and spreading it, is perpetuating it and leading to

277
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: new types of COVID that you know, who knows when

278
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: we catch one that's much much worse than all the

279
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: ones that came before. So yeah, it's a very frustrating

280
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, confusing place to be on both sides. I'm confused.

281
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we'll we'll see. Well, we'll probably talk

282
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: more about the parade at some point later on this week.

283
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: But Jack, what are they calling a caravan? Conboy's That

284
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: sounds too Yeah, that sounds too much like well, convoy

285
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: sounds like they want it to sound scary. I'm like,

286
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: it's like part of a mad Max universe. Sure, sure,

287
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: it feels like a I'm gonna call it a tantrum.

288
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call truck tantrum. Truck tantrum. Well, Joel has
