0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you're listening tonight call. Hello, and welcome back to Night Call,

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a call in show for your just top in reality.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm Molly Lambert and with me as always are Emily

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Ushida and Test Lynch. Hi, guys, Hey, guys, how's it going?

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Test is fully embraced the like end of Twin Peaks,

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Bob and Cooper laughing and I have lost it. I mean,

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>tell us where you're recording from today? All right, I'm

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you well. First of all, um, if you

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>heard our last episode, our most recent episode, I would

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>like to apologize. There were technical issues and those were

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the fault of I want to say, not really me,

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>but the infrastructure of my home situation. Like it's nothing

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>really that I could do. Um, but I was in

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>my garage. What Yeah, it's spectrum. Definitely spectrum fault. Oh

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>my god. People are happy to blame spectrum. Let's blame

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>spectrum right now. So I had to think of something else,

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and I realized I always saw like my house was

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like the perfect size, But in the past week I've

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>realized it is not the perfect size at all. So

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>long story short him in my closet, which is, as

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I pointed out, not a walk in closet, like I

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>can fit myself kind of, but I'm all smushed into

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a little ball um and it's it's a perfect perfect

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>for you. Well, it's perfect for me. It's perfect for sound. Yeah,

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it's great for a sound. And over the hangout we're

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>getting the video of view of it, and it really

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like you're just taking shelter in place, like seriously,

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>like I'm sheltering in place. I'm safer at home. You

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>were wearing the hat that we brought you from the

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Area fifty one and Nuclear Testing Museum. I was where

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.679
<v Speaker 1>and had a bunch of dioramas of bunker's. Yeah, this

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is my bunker. No, it's horribly uncomfortable, but at least

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I can see and hear you guys, which is nice.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>On Wednesday, after we recorded, I had a good long

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>sit with my feelings of just it's I'm finding it

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>very difficult to use my brain as like an adult

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 1>woman and also as a mom and have no wall

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>at all, Like, no, there's no separate zone for those

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>things and it's making me feel like I'm losing my

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>mind and I hate it. Least now you have your

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>she shed, Yes, she should. You're very cozy. She should.

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that a lot of people are in a

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>similar boat as you right now, that like there is

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>social distancing, but then there's getting extremely close with the

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>people who happened to be in the home with you. Yeah,

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's like it's great to an extent. I love

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>being able to spend a lot of time with my family,

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm kind of unschooling after having failed

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>at home schooling. I'm like, no, funk this. We're just

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>going to hang out and do stuff, which is great.

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>But then when it comes time to like be a

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>normal individual human, You're like, no, I'm just I'm part

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of this like living organism of the family unit, and

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>then you feel like you're losing your brain. I've been

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot of Betty Draper jokes. Yes, it's definitely

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>got that energy. It does feel like no matter how

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>big the space or small the space you live in

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>is it's like there's something about by yourself versus being

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>with other people where it's just very different and we're

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>all in different situations right now. But there's upsides and

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>downsides to both one many pros and cons to every situation. Yes,

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I just keep thinking, like, if I were by myself,

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>how many days would I like, what would I enjoy

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 1>like three days in a row? Would I make it

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>four days without being without losing it? Because like with

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>my family, I made it really a solid like six

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>days before I thought, oh, oh maybe we're going to fight,

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and we have. But anyway, it's good to see you

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>guys from my shed. Hello. Hello, We yeah, we wanted

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to just sort of check it in general and the

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>opening of the show and and and talk about our

0:04:55.160 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>different quarantine slash self isolation. Um. I guess experiences also

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>like I feel like new little hiccups or or like,

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>oh I didn't realize this is going to be a

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>thing about it comes up every day. I've learned so

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>much from Doomsday Preppers, which is funny because they keep

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>saying things on the show to be like, don't worry,

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>this won't happen, but then a lot of the things

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>they refer to already are happening now. The shows from

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago, there's one guy who's like, well,

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>if something bad happened everywhere at once. They wouldn't be

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>able to send FEMA everywhere and every man would just

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>be for himself. I was like, huh, interesting again, like

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like there's a little too excited about that prospect,

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and now they're very excited about it. But it also

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>made me realize that, um there their main reason for

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>having a lot of kids, so you can form them

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>into a militia. You got to get a kid army

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>going on. What could go wrong? I can't believe if

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>they can show it on the show. They just show

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>all these like parents teaching their you know, ten year

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>olds to shoot a gun, and I'm just like, wow,

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you can show this on television. I guess have you

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>checked in with any of the preppers from the show

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>to see if they're like weighing in on this pandemic

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>because years ago, Yeah, you got to look them up.

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>There was one episode that was two Jewish Preppers and

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 1>that was a very good one that I would like

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to know more about what the the Zionist Jewish preppers

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>who said the exodus was a bugout are are doing. Now.

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Where did they live? They lived in the South, but

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>there are preppers everywhere. There was an episode that took

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>place in New York called Escape from New York. That

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>was to like a young guy, an old guy, and

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a woman. And the woman was the most interesting because

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>she had actually lived through Hurricane Katrina in her car.

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, this person is not a prepper,

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>They're just practical and have PTSD. Like Hurricane Sandy just

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>made her be like, well, if something like Katrina happened

0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>in New York, like what the funk would I do?

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I need to have a plan. Uh. And then the

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>episode is her like fourteen mile trek out of New

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>York and the things that could go wrong Sure makes

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>you think, guys, going on a road trip right now

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>seems stressful, Yes, but but a road trip in a movie.

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Because today we're going to talk about Don't worry, it

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>won't be all pandemic talk. Today. We're also going to

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about Netflix's Tiger King docuseries and the movie Magic

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Mike XXL. It could be argued is just a different

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of pandemic and the other is a soothing bomb. Uh. Well,

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to talk to you guys today about

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>something that I was tweeting about last night because I

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>think it really it's continued to be something I've noticed

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>on social media, UM, yes, particularly on Twitter, which is

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the the the quarantine shame tweet, um yes, which I

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>saw your tweets about this. I'm so glad we're talking

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>about this. Yeah. So um. Obviously, I think all three

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>of us here and I think most of our listeners

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>are smart enough to know to take all of this

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>stuff seriously. If you have a shelter in place order,

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and even if you don't, just trying to minimize your

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>time outside, um, you know, making sure to clean your

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>hands and disinfect stuff that's coming in from outside. Um.

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>But there are seemed to be there are a lot

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>of specifics in that that I think have not been

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>really gone over by any kind of greater authority, state

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>or federal because our country is a disaster right now, um,

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and so a lot of people have just kind of

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>been filling in the blanks outside of like the very

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>murky term social distancing, like what does that actually mean

0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>in practice? What do you do should you have to

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>go out into the world and get groceries or something,

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And the kinds of reactions that I see and like

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>here on podcasts and stuff about um, how people are

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 1>just living their lives. Day today is really striking because

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>it's just like there's no there isn't a rule book,

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like and and I'm not saying like

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>therefore it's totally okay that somebody went out on a

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 1>hike with fifteen people, Like I'm guessing that's not great.

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know when people are yelling at people on

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Twitter for going out on a walk or something so

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>low um or not assuming that they are taking the

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>proper precautions to keep a distance from other people out there.

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's just been interesting to watch because

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>it's like everybody's making up their own rules for this,

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and if you don't follow another person's rules, then you're

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>going to hear about it. I don't know, Yeah, I

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>mean I think it's it's interesting because like, so I

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>have a dog, and obviously if you have a dog,

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you have to walk the dog. In our neighborhood, there

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of people with dogs and with kids,

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and so like, sometimes people will congregate on someone's lawn

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:14.559
<v Speaker 1>and literally our neighbors have a measuring tape and if

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>someone gets too close, they'll whip out the measuring tape

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and make sure everyone stays six ft apart. So I

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>was chatting with my neighbors were all pretty I mean

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like across the street, we're all really spread out.

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>And someone drove by and was like bad idea. And

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>then I was like is it? But we're I'm standing

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>super far away. There were like six people and I

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>was just you know, walking my dog. But all of

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:41.439
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, I realized, like people are interpreting the rules

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>so differently. If you have to go to the grocery store,

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, Emily, I think you mentioned like

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 1>um on Twitter that the Insta cart workers are going

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.599
<v Speaker 1>to strike or gonna is that what it was? Yeah?

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.719
<v Speaker 1>And it's like great because they're being exploited, Like I

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't you just have but you have to get groceries,

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>like what are you gonna do? You? And there are

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 1>all of these different ways to figure out how to,

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, get a restaurant that is closed and turned

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>into kind of an ad hoc market and you can

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>do contact list pickup. But then I started thinking of

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>all my neighbors who were like maybe in their eighties

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and aren't on Facebook, like looking at the list of

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>all the neighborhood places that do it and they're going

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>they're wearing gloves, they're going to you know, the supermarket,

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>UM as quickly as they can, staying out of people's way.

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>But is that wrong? You know? I mean it's just

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 1>nobody knows somebody I just don't think like I in

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>my mind. And again not a public health official, our

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>our our public health scientists who was on the podcast

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>can maybe call in and weigh in on this. But

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>like if I think about, like when I did my one, one,

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>first and last instant card order UM that I felt

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>really bad about. UM when that kid came to my door.

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>First of all, he came to my door and was

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>like holding the bags there. I had to take the

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>bags out of his hands. He was definitely less than

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>six ft away from me. And this kid has been

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>shopping for people all day and been out at the

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>store all day picking up And it's just like I

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>would rather just go myself, take all the precautions that

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I take every time I go out and outside, which

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>is at least gloves on, UM, always have a little

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 1>spray hand sanitizer and a mask. If I think I'm

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>if there's a high likelihood that I'm going to be

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>close to people, um, and I do that every every

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>time I go out, and I would rather do that

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>one trip, taking all those precautions, coming home, cleaning all

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>my clothes and everything. Um. Then like put somebody else

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in this position where they're basically being like I'm sending

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody out into like toxic sludge to do my dirty

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>work for me. I hate it. It's problem is it's

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 1>all like company by company, and as we've seen, just

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these companies are like fuck it, like

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to change anything. So Trader Joe's also

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>its workers are trying to unionize because they're not getting

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, for they were already trying to unionize, but

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>they're not getting hazard pay, they're not getting provided gloves.

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.439
<v Speaker 1>So the people that are working, like on the front

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>lines of this, who are grocery store workers, are not

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>being protected, which means they can't protect other people. And

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the instacart thing is especially insane because we're also in

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 1>this time where everybody is getting laid off and losing

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>their job and the only job you can get right

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>now is to be like an Amazon surf who brings

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 1>rich people their food. But again, I think you're right.

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I do feel like It's like me leaving the house

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 1>once every couple of weeks to get groceries feels like

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>a more manageable risk than just getting them from somebody

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>who's been shopping all day in proximity with a bunch

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 1>of other vulnerable, desperate people that need money. And I

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>so I think if you go so when we go

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 1>to the when I go to the grocery store, either

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 1>me or my husband goes in. I think we've had

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to go three times, um since the you know, schools closed,

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>so in the past, like maybe maybe twice um, but

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 1>one of us goes in. We're like fully suited up.

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 1>If you are very if you're super cautious, and you're

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>doing it only if you really need food, then it

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>just seems so much more logical. Also, when you have

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 1>someone go with instacart, you have to be in constant

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>contact with them because so much of the food isn't available,

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and then you're asking someone to make choices for you

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 1>that like it's time consuming for them, it heightens their risk. Um.

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.479
<v Speaker 1>There's also the question of getting take out from restaurants,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 1>which I feel like is necessary for sanity every so

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>often and also makes you helps you be able to

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>support businesses in your neighborhood that are like small businesses

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>that are really suffering. But then somebody was going on

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>about the like you know, along it lives on cardboard,

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and despite a lot of people saying reassuring things like

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, just use common sense, take it out of

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the container it came in, nuke it if you can

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>heat it above a hundred and seventy degrees, like it's fine,

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>people are still so nervous about that too. Even occasionally.

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I think also that I'd read like an actually sort

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>of comforting article from somebody about the half life stuff

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that made it had some actual information about the post

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 1>article that you linked to. Yeah, it's it's about how

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>long how it does live less long on actual food

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 1>than on surfaces, and so the half life of it is,

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>don't quote me. I think it's in the article something

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>like five and a half hours. So if you do,

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 1>like get your your groceries that are fruits and vegetables

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>at least and leave them out on the counter for

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a few days, it will actually not be on it anymore, allegedly,

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>And also the fridge speeds up the process and cooking.

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it kills it necessarily. But it

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>seems like most people are saying it is okay to

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>get take out, that you need to just reheat it yourself. Yeah,

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>but you know I wouldn't. Maybe I don't know. I

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>think nobody knows. I think that's the thing. But it's

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>also like there are some risks you have to take

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>that are like risks in order to be alive right now.

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think people are just assuming that people are

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>doing the stupidest thing, because the stuff that goes around

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and goes viral is people doing the stupidest thing. But

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 1>like you know, as I have said multiple times on

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I am moving in the middle of all

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of this, and I do have to go out into

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the world and get stuff more than I would have

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to if I was just if I wasn't doing all this.

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>So I've I've had to, you know, I've I've very

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>carefully weighed, like what stuff I want to do delivery

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>versus what stuff I just need to go out into

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the world and get, um picking up stuff on Craigslist,

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>which might sound insane, but it's like I go out

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>with like a Lisol sprague, like great people with a

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Lisol spray, like us psycho. But the virus, the virus

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>is not airborne. You have to be relatively close to

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 1>somebody to get it, you know, in person. And I

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>have these our staging area now in my living room

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>where everything that I bring in sits for like two

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>full days, and people trade air out or whatever. But

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's also oh, sorry, you go ahead. Only

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna say people are super afraid, and they're

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>super online because they're at home all the time. So

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>there's also a lot of panic and anxious energy that

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.879
<v Speaker 1>people are putting into Twitter and message boards or whatever

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>more than ever because nobody knows. And it's also I mean,

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>there was so much misinformation, or it wasn't really even misinformation,

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:56.959
<v Speaker 1>but just the most um kind of scary interpretation of

0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 1>how this was transmitted was circulating a out a week ago.

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And at some point I read something that clearly wasn't

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>true about it being able to live in suspended in

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>air for like four hours. And I had just gotten

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 1>back from walking around the block, which I now do

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>less and less, because you know, I mean, I walk

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>my dog just as much as I need to walk

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 1>my dog, but then I come right in. But at

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>that point I had just walked my kids. She was

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.399
<v Speaker 1>like in a little push car, and we went on

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a mile and a half long just stroll, staying far

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>away from people. And then I got home and read

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.880
<v Speaker 1>that and was like, you know, so terrified. And now

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>it's been pretty much debunked. Not that I'm going to

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>take another long walk, but it's like the waves of

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 1>horrible panic. I don't think there's a reason for you

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.199
<v Speaker 1>not to take a long walk if you're not in

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>contact with anybody. Well, there's also that I don't want

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:51.360
<v Speaker 1>to like do anything that even could possibly increase anyone's risk,

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But I I don't think I can go two months

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 1>without taking a long walk. Also, we are in Los Angeles, which,

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 1>as we've said, like the marriage of your marriage story

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>says there's a lot of space, So I think also

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the directives it's become like a state's rights issue where

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.959
<v Speaker 1>some people are putting a super intense clamp down and

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.159
<v Speaker 1>other places aren't at all. But also even in l A,

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>where they did put out a shelter at home order,

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>people still were like I can go to a hike

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.680
<v Speaker 1>in a group of people and we'll all just stay

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>far apart. But like Obviously that doesn't work in practice

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.160
<v Speaker 1>at big hiking places like running in so they did

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.639
<v Speaker 1>shut it down. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think also

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the thing that I've tried to remember is that a

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of the people that I follow on social media

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.160
<v Speaker 1>are living in New York, and well, I think it's

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.640
<v Speaker 1>very different. Walk in New York has different implications that

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 1>for a walk in Los Angeles. And so this is

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.399
<v Speaker 1>more to our New York listeners, just like understand that

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 1>not everybody lives, you know, in a place that dense.

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Darcy Darcy Wilder, friend of the pod, also did something

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 1>amazing because she was feeling very cooped up. She lives

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 1>in Manhattan, uh, and she was like, should I go

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 1>for a walk, and everybody on Twitter was like yeah.

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>She was like should I go to Times Square and

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 1>they were like sure. And then she went to Times

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Square and she put up the link to Earthcam to

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the Times Square feed that I keep talking about where

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.640
<v Speaker 1>you can see people in Times Square, and you could

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 1>see her being the only person in Times Square like

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Vanilla Sky. Um, she was totally suited up. She was

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>like not near anyone. Um, it was really cool and weird.

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>I was like, the most fun I had in a week.

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was like, that's my friend. She's outside.

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I can see her. I was like waving at the

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:47.199
<v Speaker 1>screen even though she couldn't see me. But you know,

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, if you are being smart about it.

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.160
<v Speaker 1>The problem is like if everyone thinks they're being smart

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 1>about it and they actually aren't, or people who are

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.639
<v Speaker 1>just being dumb about it, like the spring break kids

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>who were just like yollo, yeah. I mean, like I went.

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 1>I had the idea one day, like I had to

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>go pick up lunch from somewhere and and then I

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.120
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, it's nice out, I'm gonna go sit

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in Griffith Park and eat this. And then I got

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.199
<v Speaker 1>up to like Ferndell and there was just a line

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of cars going down this filas and I've never seen

0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it like that, like not even on a regular weekend.

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>And then I was like, okay, I'm not going, like

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.640
<v Speaker 1>why be in that line, Like you're going into something

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 1>that obviously there's going to be a high density, Like

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the stuff where I'm just like, okay, just use

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 1>common sense. But yeah, I also think though that sometimes this.

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I have a friend who was trying to go to

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the beach and she was like, figuring nobody would be

0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 1>at the beach. This was a week ago, and she

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.320
<v Speaker 1>was driving to the beach and she was looking out

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.719
<v Speaker 1>her window and she was like, everyone had the same idea.

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 1>She thought it would be the opposite that she would

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:54.679
<v Speaker 1>be like the only person who wanted to do that.

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>But they ended up having to drive really far north.

0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess um like past where they normally went to

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.640
<v Speaker 1>find in the place it wasn't densely populated. So it's

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 1>also one of those things where you're trying to guess

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.199
<v Speaker 1>how cautious people are gonna be. Our friend, one of

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 1>my friend went to the beach um and then they

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 1>shut them down the next day because I think they

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>realized that most people were going. They probably should have

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 1>shut them down in the first place. But there are

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.399
<v Speaker 1>places like Florida where like individual cities still aren't shutting

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>them down necessarily. So I mean it's scary too, because

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>then the way stuff like that is enforced is scary

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and militarized. Just the idea of like we literally can't

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 1>be out in the streets right now, because there's also

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other bad stuff going on in the

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 1>government where it's like, oh, we like can't protest because

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 1>we can't go outside. Like that feels very fucked up. Two,

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know anytime I hear about some sort

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>of jerk con I in seeming measure being taken by

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 1>any government, state or local or otherwise. Like my friend

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:58.199
<v Speaker 1>in Berlin just said she saw people police officers and

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the plots outside of her house like um getting people

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to move from who we're sitting on benches Like yeah,

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean people sit there. And I was like even

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 1>in Germany, in Berlin, I was just like that sounds good.

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm jealous of that. I think in Europe too, it's

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>like maybe they do feel you know, people were still

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 1>going out into the public space there too, And I

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think this is just an American problem, like they're

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>having an issue in Japan that people were going out

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to see the cherry blossoms because they were like coming

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>back out too quickly. That wasn't an issue in Japan,

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 1>though they have no regulations right now for what people

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.439
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to do and not. My friend in Tokyo

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.359
<v Speaker 1>is still being sent to work every day. They're just

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 1>like denial over in Japan. That's like there, it's not

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>that people were like rebellion against any kind of government

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 1>or right. They just don't have an ordinance. They have zero.

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. Well, they did postponed the Olympics, y'all. Yes,

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.199
<v Speaker 1>although they put out the worst statement that was like,

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 1>we're just going to call them the Olympics still in

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>which is like, yes, everyone will be one want to

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 1>be reminded of everybody. Let's take a break real quick,

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll come back with one of the things

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>we might remember fondly about. Tiger King. Welcome back to

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 1>night Call. We're going to talk about Tiger King. Emily

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 1>is on the screen and she is nodding her head. No, head, Yes,

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:46.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm still shaking my head at you, saying it's one

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 1>of the things we'll enjoy remembering about. And you know why, uh,

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody will remember this outside because it is a Netflix

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>docuseries and nobody remembers those. Okay, but you need to

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.439
<v Speaker 1>consumed and forgotten. But you have to admit the time

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:07.200
<v Speaker 1>was perfect for like a big bag of Doritos for

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:11.159
<v Speaker 1>your brain. Yes, called Tiger King, a big bag of

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 1>cool ranch flavor. There's it's a spicy there's a spiciness

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.359
<v Speaker 1>to this. You're not capturing. I think it's a flame

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and Hot Cheeto Chet's Spicy show. Should we talk about

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 1>what we liked first? Or should we should we give

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:31.880
<v Speaker 1>it to uh give it to the dum Debbie dum,

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Let's give it to the Dumur. No, you guys. You

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>guys explained the premise more because I think you guys

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>have both also watched more of it than I have.

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>But I know vaguely what goes down, but you can, okay.

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Tiger King is a documentary about the world of big

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>cat They're not trainers, they're just sort of exploiters of large,

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 1>beautiful cats. Um centering around Joe Exotic, who owns a

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>place where you can come take a photo of a

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 1>baby tiger and the most interesting man in the world,

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and his rivals, including Carol Baskin, who runs a big

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:24.639
<v Speaker 1>cat sanctuary in Florida. Joe Exotic is in Oklahoma, I believe, yeah,

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>or Ohio. It starts it's in Oklahoma. It starts with

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about there are some states that have crazy loose,

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 1>uh wild animal restrictions. I know this because my friends

0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 1>from Ohio say that in Ohio you can own a

0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>tiger apparently, and a lot of people own a tiger.

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I think this has gone over in this series. You

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 1>can own a tiger anywhere in the US, or, at

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>least at the time that this story starts, you could.

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if anymore LEGISLAI think that's true. I

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think you can own a tiger in California. You

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>cannot sell them. It's state law. Then in California federal law.

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 1>There's no federal law against owning an exotic animal. You

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>know who else owns an exotic animal? Justin Bieber, Oh yeah,

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 1>but also Louisiana State University. Well so justin Bieber though

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>owning what does he own? He had a monkey, servils

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:22.399
<v Speaker 1>and a monkey. Yeah, well he does. He still love

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:25.679
<v Speaker 1>them monkey. No, No, he wasn't allowed to. They confiscated

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>it in Australia. It was a big but he has

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>some big cats now that have some baby big hats.

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.040
<v Speaker 1>He has some servils and they are not they're not

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:39.440
<v Speaker 1>like real wildcats. They're the kind you can have other

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 1>rich people have them. I'm just saying, yea, it's okay

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 1>if rich people did it, it's okay. Well they're really

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>they're really cute, Okay, just saying they're extremely cute cats.

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>So you're also you're forgetting one of my favorite characters,

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Boga von Doc Rental. Yeah, I forget where his his

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:05.680
<v Speaker 1>park is the ship. I mean myrtle little beach, isn't it?

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I think so let me in South Carolina. He and

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Exotic are like they're not rivals. They like respect

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>each other from a distance, but they work in the

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 1>same business. Yeah, I mean Joe Exotic like he looks

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.880
<v Speaker 1>like David Spade kind of. I was like casting this,

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone who's more casting My friend Maxilabster and

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I both were like, Nick Krawl will win. We'll win

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a golden globe for playing this. I also saw maybe

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 1>a young Joe Pantoliano. I well, I was. I was

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 1>got really hooked on Doc antl being John c Riley

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>at some point, also because I just watched Stepbrothers and

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>this has like a stepbrother's energy too. It has a

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 1>real stepbrother's energy to where you're just not sure if

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you should feel bad. You know, you should feel kind

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of bad for enjoying it, but you can't really help it.

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm did you watch did you ever watch

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 1>cat Dancers? Did we do that? We watched on the

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 1>pod I can't remember. Okay, well, I just feel like

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>this is in the extended Cat Dancers universe. People Cat

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Dancers was produced before Netflix, and oh yeah, I feel yeah.

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I think Cat Dancers is less trying to to to

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>sell itself on the wacky personalities where you want to

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 1>stunt cast it, like, obviously that's a part of it,

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's less like it's a real life Christopher Guest

0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 1>movie or whatever. No, it's a it's a real life

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Danny McBride, Walton Goggin's Nady Patterson show that is who

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 1>should play all the roles. But whatever one may think about,

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the more the morality of such a show existing much

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like a circus, it's also pretty entertaining well, because turns

0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you watch one episode and you believe you know who

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the villain is, and then you watch the second episode

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oops, I was wrong, it's this other person.

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And then by the third episode you realize that the

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>true villain was the unlikeliest of all. And then later

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>on I'm just gonna say, like, the show does have morals.

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>It's made by a conservationist, Like the point is that

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>these places shouldn't exist. Yes, it's definitely not in favor

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of places where people go take pictures with baby animals.

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just like documenting them but also totally shows what's

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>wrong with them. And there's a very moving part at

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the end where it shifts the focus to larger conservation

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 1>issues and talks about like the folly of trying to

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 1>keep big cats as pets in any type of way.

0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think you makes Yeah, I'm less concerned with

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the animals um in the movie go On. I think

0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the humans are all uh, they are all

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of abuse victims in different ways, and many people are

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>being actively abused that are on camera, and it is

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 1>being framed as a goofy romp that it's being framed

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.360
<v Speaker 1>as a goofy roump, though I think it's it's like

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like several cults operating at once. It's very similar

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to Finding Neverland in some ways because it also, you know,

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson obviously also used having exotic animals as a

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 1>way to lure people in. It sort of just shows

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the extent to which people can be lured in by

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 1>exotic animals to a place you didn't know they wanted

0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to go. Um. When you get into the I guess,

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like the thing for me is that, like, I think

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>it does a decent job of of getting into how

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>these sort of outside basically cult leaders they are, like,

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, it gets into how each of them basically

0:31:55.680 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 1>are operating cult like operations or just outright could I

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>would say, in the case of uh doc doc doc

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:11.720
<v Speaker 1>antle um. But I think then then it becomes a

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 1>thing that's sort of just like this, this this moral

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:17.680
<v Speaker 1>dilemma that we I feel like, have been grappling with

0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:22.320
<v Speaker 1>since the election, which is just like, Okay, this person

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is like doing active harm and uh wants you know,

0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>wants things that are actively bad for other people and

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 1>animals in this case, and but like we can also

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:38.680
<v Speaker 1>still laugh at them. I guess that's sort of the

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>That's sort of the thing I was unable to kind

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of just latch onto, Like this doesn't feel like Doritos

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to me. Every aspect of it is so dark, Like

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>even I like it, I just because I do think

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 1>that the show is is conscious of the dilemma around

0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the animals, but I I don't feel I feel like

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>it's treatment of the people is just especially because the

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>context of the framing of it being a Netflix documentary

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and the degree to which is just disposable. It's just like, okay,

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:16.080
<v Speaker 1>so we're just being given these people as like grist

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>for the nill of content. I don't know, and I

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I think that though I feel like

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of latching onto the fact that this is

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a Netflix joint and and bringing a lot of like

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, feeling as though it's just meant to be

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>consumed and forgotten. But I actually I don't feel that

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 1>way necessarily about this one. Yeah, to me, this is

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 1>something It's not even like The Jinks where the guy

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 1>is like clearly evil the whole time and you're just

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>like waiting for him to admit it. To me, it's

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>more like The Staircase, where you're like, even though these

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>people are all narcissistic sociopaths, there's like a depth and

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a humanity to them anyway. And Joe Exotic as just

0:33:56.080 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 1>like a super out, openly gay guy sort of opera

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 1>reading in this like deep South rednecks space and being

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:10.839
<v Speaker 1>just out. It's very weirdly transgressive, just like his community

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of people that like they do. It's it's interesting, It's

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:17.440
<v Speaker 1>just fucking interesting. It's like you understand that he's like

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 1>learning people in by being like, here's a space for

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:23.919
<v Speaker 1>outsiders and people who don't belong, and here's all these

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>like big cats and weird this weird family, this weird commune.

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And then you're like, oh, actually this is super toxic

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and bad and all about him, But you understand why

0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:40.399
<v Speaker 1>people want that. Sure, Yeah, I mean I think that

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I would not say that Joe Exotic is unsympathetic. It's

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 1>not that he's just a monster. It's that he is

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 1>like a profoundly damaged person who I do think, like

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 1>when he is showing love to one of his many

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:55.920
<v Speaker 1>husbands or to his animals, I believe it, and I

0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:57.959
<v Speaker 1>think that he is a person who is capable of love.

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 1>But like obviously, like America has just done a fucking

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:05.400
<v Speaker 1>number on him via his parents who were abusive, um,

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>via just like capitalism and probably like uh gun culture

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and everything else. Like I think, like it's just sad

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to me. It's like it's just sad his his whole

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:19.440
<v Speaker 1>case is sad to me because I don't think that

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>he is unsympathetic. Um. But yeah, I'm just so obsessed

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:28.920
<v Speaker 1>with Carol. Guys. Carol was the one I really latched

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:32.359
<v Speaker 1>onto here. Um, I think that, Carol, I'm again. I

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:36.239
<v Speaker 1>finished the third episode. I'm really excited to dive back in.

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I mean, I see, I see what

0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Emily saying. I think my thing though, is that, like,

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 1>these are all people who are damaged in ways that

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm enjoying kind of exploring, like why

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 1>they all kind of got drawn into a very specific racket.

0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of animal rights people too, are

0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 1>like they hate humans, yes, yes, a hundred percent, or

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 1>like tapped into like human pain and suffering to the

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:11.280
<v Speaker 1>degree that they're tapped into like animals. Well, like Brigitte

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Bardot is the famous one because she's like, is a

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:20.800
<v Speaker 1>super racist but loves animals. And yes, no, totally, totally,

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of them. For soprano for it, well,

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 1>he he's he's like a Joe Exotic to me. Joe

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Exotic is a tony soprano figure to total. Just like

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:37.800
<v Speaker 1>he built an empire in this niche world where people

0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:41.319
<v Speaker 1>are super passionate about this thing that's insane and you

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:44.600
<v Speaker 1>have to be insane to do it, and he like

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:47.000
<v Speaker 1>came from nothing and made this empire and then he

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:55.200
<v Speaker 1>loses it. It's very novelistic. Yeah, but I understand, I understand.

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Carol is is interesting as well, though, like

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get through that third episode you get to

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:06.959
<v Speaker 1>the twy about who like her husband, the mysterious death

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:11.359
<v Speaker 1>of her husband that her detractors uh seem to think

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:13.799
<v Speaker 1>she has murdered. I don't know if that actually ends

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>up being the case or not. But would you like

0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to spoil shady? So I wouldn't put it past her,

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 1>But do you think do you think Carol fed her

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:28.839
<v Speaker 1>husband to the tigers? And I'll tell you what. I'll

0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:31.359
<v Speaker 1>tell you why I was watching it, so she has

0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:33.640
<v Speaker 1>not to sound too under the silver lake here, but

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 1>she has this like expression that she she maintains the

0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:41.680
<v Speaker 1>whole time you know her. And then when um, when

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.440
<v Speaker 1>she has asked about the allegations that she killed her

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>husband and fed him, put him through a meat grinder

0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and fed him to tigers, she her eyes like pop

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:53.759
<v Speaker 1>and she makes this the expression that if you are

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're used to like knowing that someone's lying when

0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 1>you're talking to them, for instance, if this one this

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:00.759
<v Speaker 1>thing that people do when they're hot, and they do

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:03.480
<v Speaker 1>it with their eyes and they go like, pop and

0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 1>she does it, and I was my husband and I

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:08.440
<v Speaker 1>were both like, uh, there it is. She fucking did it.

0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:10.800
<v Speaker 1>She fed She fed him right to the tigers, so

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:14.600
<v Speaker 1>she's confident. She's also wearing a flower crown for much

0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>of it. Yeah, she's midsummer, we now know signifies that

0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:21.319
<v Speaker 1>you are down to do some ritual sacrifice. She for

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:24.319
<v Speaker 1>sure did it. And it's also like then you're like, oh, well,

0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is she worse for being a horrible person who presents

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>herself as a saint than Joe Exotic who's like a

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:34.160
<v Speaker 1>psycho but everybody knows he's a psycho. They're like, oh,

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:38.520
<v Speaker 1>our lovable psycho friend. I just figured that Carol was

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a really big Lana fan, which I like completely by Well,

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:48.799
<v Speaker 1>there's something anybody who's like, I contame a giant a

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 1>wild cat. It's like grizzly man. It's like the hubrisk

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 1>of humans to think that you can contain nature. Like

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of it is very annihilation because it is

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 1>just like this isn't gonna work ever, and like these

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:09.600
<v Speaker 1>animals don't deserve to be in cages. Yeah, um yeah,

0:39:09.680 --> 0:39:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I think like very early on, it starts showing people

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.799
<v Speaker 1>who have kind of uh, you know, had the had

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the various animals lash out against the lost limbs, lost

0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:21.839
<v Speaker 1>legs and stuff like that. Um, well, Staff, who's the

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:25.239
<v Speaker 1>worker at the place that it's a zoo, I'll call

0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 1>it a zoo? Staff is um, he identifies this male,

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:32.360
<v Speaker 1>he's the one who lost his arm to a tiger.

0:39:32.600 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>But the guy who lost his legs that was a

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.279
<v Speaker 1>zip line. That was a zip line, accent was a

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:40.319
<v Speaker 1>zip line. But but like the whole thing about the

0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>rush of having the proximity to this animal that could

0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:45.880
<v Speaker 1>kill you. I mean, it was interesting also to see

0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the overlap in the timeline of Joe Exotics popularity and

0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the tiger photo phenomenon on tinder Um, because I was like, oh, yeah,

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.759
<v Speaker 1>I remember that when that was like the joke that

0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:02.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody's posing with tigers on um. But yeah, I was like,

0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:04.719
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, this was a thing for a while and

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:08.560
<v Speaker 1>probably still is in many circles. I think it's like

0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:11.960
<v Speaker 1>also acknowledging that like Joe Exotic is just like a

0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:15.719
<v Speaker 1>talented Mr Ripley, you know, like as we've seen with

0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Pete, but like somebody can be queer and also

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:23.880
<v Speaker 1>a sociopath who like, you know, I'm not gonna I'm

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.399
<v Speaker 1>not going to say he's a sociopath. I don't think

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Pete is a sociopath. I will be the voice

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of dissent with this. I don't think he would have

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:33.080
<v Speaker 1>made a very good president, but I don't think he's

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a sociopath. It's okay if they're watching you in your

0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:40.359
<v Speaker 1>closet right now and you don't, I don't. I you know,

0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:43.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I I need to sometimes things go

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:45.839
<v Speaker 1>get a little like off the wall in here, not

0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:48.880
<v Speaker 1>in the closet, but on the pod. But I do

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 1>want to say, like, I would not have wanted to

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 1>vote for Mayor Pete, but I'm not. I don't know

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:56.239
<v Speaker 1>him well enough to say he's a sociate. Okay, I'm

0:40:56.280 --> 0:40:59.239
<v Speaker 1>just saying if I found out he fed someone to

0:40:59.320 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>tigers to sorrow, I would not be super surprised. That's

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:09.640
<v Speaker 1>my personal Why don't we take a break, Yeah, okay,

0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll come back with something everyone likes magic

0:41:14.680 --> 0:41:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike XXL welcome back tonight. Call here. We are still

0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:46.399
<v Speaker 1>on spring break. It's still March. How why um we're

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:51.279
<v Speaker 1>spring break? Ever? For for real spring break? But a

0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:53.759
<v Speaker 1>fun spring break for Night Call that we're going to

0:41:53.840 --> 0:42:01.279
<v Speaker 1>wrap up with I'm not going to go that far. Um.

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 1>We had to keep that. We had to keep the

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:06.720
<v Speaker 1>party going for one more week while it's still March.

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:15.000
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to provide escapism as well as information infotainment. UM,

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Magic Mike xx al a road trip. Okay, can I

0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:23.359
<v Speaker 1>can I mention I've not seen Magic Mike still at

0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:25.800
<v Speaker 1>this moment, have not seen it. So I jumped into

0:42:25.800 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the sequel and was and and panicked at first because

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh shit, it's one of those sequels

0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:33.359
<v Speaker 1>where you really really have to have seen the first one,

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:36.840
<v Speaker 1>like many sequels in that way. But I just I

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.960
<v Speaker 1>really couldn't figure out how to make the time for

0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 1>this happen. So I watched just the sequel and I

0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>loved it. I don't think you need to watch the

0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>first Magic Mike to appreciate Magic Mike. There was a

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:52.759
<v Speaker 1>lot of like referring to these like things that that

0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I could have probably done the bare minimum of research

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and been able to fill in the gap. Now it's

0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be tho. Is that like Mike left because

0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:02.680
<v Speaker 1>he was going to like start his carpentry business, which

0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is like very easily picked up early on in the film,

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and that Matthew McConaughey hasn't there anymore because whatever, they

0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:10.400
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get him for this, He wasn't in the budget.

0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:13.680
<v Speaker 1>But also what about the fiance? Was the fiance and

0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the original one the fiance he ended up with a

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 1>first one. Um, she's no, she's she's like a nepotism star.

0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 1>She's like the daughter of a w B XEC or something.

0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I think she's good because she kind of I think

0:43:28.760 --> 0:43:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Amber Heard sucks in this one, by the way, I

0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 1>mean whatever. I have really strong opinions about the acting

0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of Amber Heard that I try and like camp down sometimes,

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, she's doing She's doing the kind of performance

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that people used to like bash Kristen Stewart for doing.

0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>But Kristen is actually a much much better actress than that.

0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:51.920
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like Amber Heard is still doing that performance.

0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Stick up for Amber Heard's acting here. I thought she

0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 1>was fine. Oh God, I hate her. I'm so allergic

0:43:57.600 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to her. I'm so incredibly every everything she does with

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:04.440
<v Speaker 1>her hair, the way she eats cake, I'm like, oh,

0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't I dand this can't the way that somebody

0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:10.320
<v Speaker 1>who has never eaten cake. It's like when when Rooney

0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Murry eats the pie and a Ghost Story, It's like,

0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:17.120
<v Speaker 1>that's never eating a pie exactly. You know that. I

0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:21.440
<v Speaker 1>watched the entire Playboy Club show. I'm sure you're starring

0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Amber heard one of them. Okay, I watched half of that.

0:44:24.960 --> 0:44:27.480
<v Speaker 1>See she was so terrible in that. How can you be?

0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:30.799
<v Speaker 1>How can you stand? That was a bad show? I think.

0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I think there's one connecting element between Magic Mike XXL

0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and Tiger King, which is that it portrays southern and

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Midwestern type of culture in a way that like, I

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:47.400
<v Speaker 1>don't feel as condescending to it. That's why I feel

0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 1>like Tiger King is okay too, is because I don't

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's like sneering in New York media at these people. Um.

0:44:56.600 --> 0:44:58.840
<v Speaker 1>And that is what I loved, other than the general

0:44:58.920 --> 0:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>shock about the fact that somebody could be gay in Oklahoma.

0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:05.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's not it's not just that he's gay, it's

0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:10.319
<v Speaker 1>that he has two husbands. It's the polygamy. The polygamy

0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 1>is the shock when they're both straight until they met him. Yeah,

0:45:14.640 --> 0:45:17.120
<v Speaker 1>two straight husbands. It's a lot of straight husband be

0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 1>shocking in any state. I'm just gonna say it's true. Um, well,

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Magic Mike XXL is like, um, it's sort of an

0:45:26.360 --> 0:45:29.640
<v Speaker 1>interesting sequel in many ways, I think because it's not

0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:31.800
<v Speaker 1>directed by Soderberg, so it's a different like which is

0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:34.680
<v Speaker 1>just kind of common for sequels. But it also doesn't

0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:39.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like it was not burdened by being a necessary sequel.

0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:42.600
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing in the first Magic Mike that's like, Oh,

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to see what the gang gets up

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:46.799
<v Speaker 1>to next. It has a fair amount of closure to it,

0:45:47.080 --> 0:45:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's really about like it's based on Channing Tatum's life,

0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's basically about him like getting out of the

0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:56.560
<v Speaker 1>male stripper business and like chasing his own dreams and like,

0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, it ends in a nice way. So I

0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:01.239
<v Speaker 1>think think they planned for it to be a hit

0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 1>either at all. It's definitely like, yeah, it's basically Saturday

0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Night Fever. It is right Saturday Night Fever in the

0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 1>world of strippers, And so I was like, oh, this

0:46:12.280 --> 0:46:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is the staying Alive. Yeah. Mostly like like Channing Tatum's

0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:20.359
<v Speaker 1>character in it is not really the protagonist, Like it's

0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the kid played by Alex Pettifer, who's sort of the

0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>newcomer into the world who like rises up through the

0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:28.080
<v Speaker 1>ranks and then it hits rock bottom, you know, all

0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that kind of classic type stuff. So and Mike is

0:46:31.400 --> 0:46:34.920
<v Speaker 1>more just sort of this like he's sort of the

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the old the old salt at the He's got the

0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:40.880
<v Speaker 1>oldest salt at the club. That's McConaughey. It's just like lifers,

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:43.960
<v Speaker 1>like male stripping lifers. It's like he's like the pro

0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:46.439
<v Speaker 1>that everybody looks up to, but he wants to get out,

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and this new kid is like, why would you want

0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to get out? This is amazing? Um. But like anything

0:46:51.640 --> 0:46:53.680
<v Speaker 1>said in a niche world, which again, it's also what

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I like Tiger King, right, it's a very niche world.

0:46:56.719 --> 0:46:59.359
<v Speaker 1>It's very Florida, as many of the things that we've

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:01.759
<v Speaker 1>watched this month have been. But I think that the

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:05.200
<v Speaker 1>nice thing about Magic Mike XXL like kind of is

0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the exception that proves the rule about sequels is that,

0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:10.640
<v Speaker 1>like it is a totally unnecessary sequel, and I feel

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:12.759
<v Speaker 1>like it's totally liberated by the fact that it is

0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:17.040
<v Speaker 1>so unnecessary perfect. It's a musical. It's just a musical.

0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:20.959
<v Speaker 1>It's tracted by Gregory Jacobs, who's like a Soderberg protege. Yeah,

0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:22.520
<v Speaker 1>he's been like an a d I think on a

0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:25.440
<v Speaker 1>bunch of Soderberg movies. And it features some of the

0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:29.520
<v Speaker 1>people that were in Magic, Mike Channing Tatum, Matt Boehmer,

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Nash, and Joe Manchinello. Joe Man just so good. Well,

0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing. It's like, it's not even Channing Tatum's movie.

0:47:40.200 --> 0:47:43.640
<v Speaker 1>It's literally a group movie. Now. It's an ensemble movie

0:47:43.680 --> 0:47:46.319
<v Speaker 1>for real, And it's just like, I think a lot

0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>of it was improvised maybe or just like lightly scripted.

0:47:50.760 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of little stuff where they go to um,

0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:58.080
<v Speaker 1>where they go to the house that Um that Jada

0:47:58.080 --> 0:48:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Pinkett Smith runs Romes Frome's house, Like that feels very

0:48:02.200 --> 0:48:05.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, let's just have a party. Phil. I

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 1>was so excited to see So You Think you Can Dance?

0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:12.440
<v Speaker 1>His twitch boss, my favorite contestant ever on So You

0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Think You Can Dance. I was so excited to see him.

0:48:14.800 --> 0:48:19.640
<v Speaker 1>They're so awesome. In sequence with him is so incredible. Yeah.

0:48:20.080 --> 0:48:22.160
<v Speaker 1>So the format of the movie, it is like a

0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:25.560
<v Speaker 1>road musical. It's like, let's put on a show in

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:29.799
<v Speaker 1>several different locations ending in a big show at the end,

0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Little Beach, Yeah, the Striper Convention, Yeah, Stripper Convention. They

0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:39.759
<v Speaker 1>like they've all disbanded because Matthew McConaughey's character, who is

0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:42.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of the impresario at the strip club um in

0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the first film, he's ditched them and like run off

0:48:45.200 --> 0:48:47.680
<v Speaker 1>with their money. So they're all kind of adrift. And

0:48:47.719 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 1>then they reunite, uh to go to head to Myrtle

0:48:51.000 --> 0:48:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Beach and like have their one last shot of glory,

0:48:53.920 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 1>but also like job, Yeah, like ditch all the all

0:48:57.320 --> 0:49:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the kind of sort of worn out tropes and stuff

0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that that Matthew McConaughey had pushed on them, like the

0:49:03.960 --> 0:49:06.480
<v Speaker 1>firefighter stuff and everything, and they're like, no, we're just

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:12.360
<v Speaker 1>going to find ourselves strippers, our personal artistic representation. Yeah.

0:49:12.120 --> 0:49:14.959
<v Speaker 1>And again, what makes the First Magic Mike so good

0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:18.840
<v Speaker 1>is like it takes male stripping super seriously. It takes

0:49:19.280 --> 0:49:24.040
<v Speaker 1>female arousal very seriously. And you know, I just feel

0:49:24.040 --> 0:49:27.319
<v Speaker 1>like Soderberg has always been good at like sexualizing the

0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:29.759
<v Speaker 1>male body as much as the female, and that's like

0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:32.399
<v Speaker 1>all this movie is about. It's just like sexualizing men.

0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:36.040
<v Speaker 1>The gaze of like super hot men who are just

0:49:36.160 --> 0:49:40.080
<v Speaker 1>doing whatever like regular women want all the time. It's

0:49:40.160 --> 0:49:43.719
<v Speaker 1>just it's like if the world was was inverted, it's

0:49:43.760 --> 0:49:46.879
<v Speaker 1>just like, oh yeah, I actually think business movie even

0:49:46.920 --> 0:49:49.319
<v Speaker 1>more so than the first movie. Like I think the

0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:52.520
<v Speaker 1>first movie is probably like a more functional movie as

0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:56.799
<v Speaker 1>far as like, but it's like a Godfather one Godfather

0:49:56.920 --> 0:50:00.560
<v Speaker 1>too things. You're both perfect and they don't. They're not

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:03.600
<v Speaker 1>even in competition with each other, right, Well, the second one,

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I think like just does the thing that you're talking

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:09.480
<v Speaker 1>about though, which is just the like, let's just make

0:50:09.520 --> 0:50:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a story like basically a an episodic tale of musical

0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like a musical review that's just about women's pleasure and

0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:23.279
<v Speaker 1>like and women the women women's gaze and like the

0:50:23.320 --> 0:50:26.320
<v Speaker 1>best part of the first movie, which I will spoil

0:50:26.480 --> 0:50:28.920
<v Speaker 1>for you because it's sort of spoil it when he

0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:32.359
<v Speaker 1>starts dancing to Pony in this movie, that is when

0:50:32.360 --> 0:50:35.160
<v Speaker 1>he rediscovers but like the whole thing is that the

0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:38.360
<v Speaker 1>girl he's he's courting in the first movie, like comes

0:50:38.400 --> 0:50:41.239
<v Speaker 1>to see him at the club and like this, and

0:50:41.320 --> 0:50:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the first time you really see him dance, and

0:50:43.400 --> 0:50:46.040
<v Speaker 1>he like comes out and does this routine to Pony

0:50:46.120 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and everyone in the audience including the girl's jaws just

0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:53.320
<v Speaker 1>dropped because you know, what's expecting it to be like hot,

0:50:53.440 --> 0:50:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, so it's like you're just grappling with it.

0:50:56.680 --> 0:50:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Like wait, Like I didn't even like Chanting Tatum going

0:50:59.200 --> 0:51:02.120
<v Speaker 1>into Magic Mike that much. I was like this just

0:51:02.239 --> 0:51:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh my god, this guy is the greatest

0:51:04.640 --> 0:51:08.080
<v Speaker 1>dancer in the world. That is so hot when somebody

0:51:08.280 --> 0:51:14.239
<v Speaker 1>is a good dancer, like legitimately and seven Soderberg is

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.239
<v Speaker 1>the only person who's been smart enough to put him

0:51:16.239 --> 0:51:23.320
<v Speaker 1>in a musical, you know, in the Cohens did too,

0:51:22.480 --> 0:51:26.160
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, and the step happens. I mean, he's he's

0:51:26.200 --> 0:51:27.799
<v Speaker 1>so good in this person I know. But I'm just like,

0:51:27.840 --> 0:51:30.399
<v Speaker 1>how have we not gotten like, like, why isn't there

0:51:30.920 --> 0:51:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Channing Tatum guys and dolls, Like he's been famous for

0:51:33.400 --> 0:51:35.319
<v Speaker 1>like a decade now, why what haven't we just like

0:51:35.480 --> 0:51:39.279
<v Speaker 1>put him in every classic musical we have. He's looking amazing. Yeah,

0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:41.480
<v Speaker 1>this is a problem. This is a fucking problem with

0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood is that, like, clearly this works very well. This

0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:48.080
<v Speaker 1>guy should be and I think everybody was expecting him

0:51:48.120 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a huge, huge, A list George Clooney esque star,

0:51:52.320 --> 0:51:56.279
<v Speaker 1>and the material just isn't there because Hollywood is not

0:51:56.719 --> 0:52:01.040
<v Speaker 1>tailoring itself around Uh, you know, we don't have those

0:52:01.040 --> 0:52:04.320
<v Speaker 1>triple threats anymore. Yeah, we don't have a triple threat anymore.

0:52:04.360 --> 0:52:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he's a diva, you guys, we don't know. No,

0:52:07.000 --> 0:52:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he is. He's supposedly very like down

0:52:09.280 --> 0:52:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to earth and nice and like is a real southern

0:52:12.160 --> 0:52:14.360
<v Speaker 1>ask dude who I think is very close to his

0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:17.640
<v Speaker 1>character in this movie, like he his life story really is,

0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't. I think he's a was a

0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:23.000
<v Speaker 1>humble enough person to be a male stripper. So and

0:52:23.040 --> 0:52:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he doesn't take himself super seriously, is what

0:52:26.000 --> 0:52:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I gather. So he doesn't have that super um careerist

0:52:30.880 --> 0:52:33.600
<v Speaker 1>type drive that would make somebody maybe be in five

0:52:33.640 --> 0:52:37.160
<v Speaker 1>movies a year, like Great Jump Street. He's great in

0:52:37.200 --> 0:52:41.080
<v Speaker 1>those movies. Forgot, He's great in a tiny part in Uh,

0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Side Effects, another super great Soderberg movie that people don't

0:52:45.800 --> 0:52:48.319
<v Speaker 1>talk about enough. Soderberg is just so good. He's like

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:51.120
<v Speaker 1>he's good at too many things. It's so funny that

0:52:51.120 --> 0:52:55.200
<v Speaker 1>everybody's like appreciating him for Contagion right now, because it's

0:52:55.239 --> 0:52:59.040
<v Speaker 1>just like, yeah, he's always making good movies. In different genres,

0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:03.319
<v Speaker 1>and this, you know, is Gregory Jacobs, but it's very

0:53:03.360 --> 0:53:05.640
<v Speaker 1>much in the Soderbergh house style, which is kind of

0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:13.239
<v Speaker 1>like flowy and improvisational feeling, not super actorly. I think

0:53:13.280 --> 0:53:19.240
<v Speaker 1>that Soderberg treats feature filmmaking like blogging. He's really really

0:53:19.280 --> 0:53:21.759
<v Speaker 1>good at it, and so he has like a really

0:53:21.840 --> 0:53:25.239
<v Speaker 1>high hit rate. But like that kind of casual nous

0:53:25.280 --> 0:53:28.719
<v Speaker 1>and low stakes approach to doing something like this ends

0:53:28.760 --> 0:53:31.440
<v Speaker 1>up making things feel revelatory because it's not like it

0:53:31.480 --> 0:53:33.640
<v Speaker 1>needs a bunch of pomp and circumstance. It's just like, no,

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:38.040
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have a dance musical about male strippers and

0:53:38.080 --> 0:53:39.959
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be great, and you've never seen this before,

0:53:40.000 --> 0:53:41.359
<v Speaker 1>but we're not going to make a big deal about

0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:42.880
<v Speaker 1>how you've never seen it before. We're gonna act like

0:53:42.920 --> 0:53:45.479
<v Speaker 1>the most natural thing to do a movie about. Because

0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I've been watching I've been watching a ton of musicals

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:51.279
<v Speaker 1>just because like that is my comfort food. Film is

0:53:51.560 --> 0:53:56.080
<v Speaker 1>just MGM musicals and depression Eira musicals. So I was

0:53:56.120 --> 0:53:58.600
<v Speaker 1>watching It's Always fair Weather, which I've never seen before,

0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:01.919
<v Speaker 1>which is like a cow in Green musical from ninety

0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:04.319
<v Speaker 1>five with Gene Kelly. That was like a it's it's

0:54:04.400 --> 0:54:07.440
<v Speaker 1>like Magic Mike XXL, and that it was supposed to

0:54:07.520 --> 0:54:09.640
<v Speaker 1>be a sequel to On the Town but they couldn't

0:54:09.680 --> 0:54:12.400
<v Speaker 1>get all the same people, so it's like Gene Kelly

0:54:12.400 --> 0:54:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and two other guys, but it just has these like

0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:18.160
<v Speaker 1>insane dance numbers in it. And then I watched Magic

0:54:18.200 --> 0:54:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Mike XXL right after it. I was just like, right, like,

0:54:21.280 --> 0:54:23.400
<v Speaker 1>this is how we bring back the musical. It's not

0:54:23.480 --> 0:54:27.799
<v Speaker 1>fucking La La Land. It's like a movie where the

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:32.600
<v Speaker 1>musical numbers happen organically. They're like part of the story.

0:54:33.000 --> 0:54:35.040
<v Speaker 1>They're not like taking but they do take you out

0:54:35.080 --> 0:54:38.440
<v Speaker 1>of your brain just completely well, and people are really

0:54:38.560 --> 0:54:41.399
<v Speaker 1>dancing in that. I mean like Emma Stone and Ryan

0:54:41.480 --> 0:54:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Gosling are not like real professional I mean yes, like

0:54:45.000 --> 0:54:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Gosling was on Mickey Mouse Clip, but like he's

0:54:48.000 --> 0:54:50.920
<v Speaker 1>not a real Like we were supposed to be charmed

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:53.200
<v Speaker 1>by the shittiness of their dancing, but I was like,

0:54:53.320 --> 0:54:56.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not that charmed actually at all. No, Like I

0:54:56.400 --> 0:54:58.839
<v Speaker 1>want to see I can't dance for ship. I want

0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to see people who could really fucking dance. It makes

0:55:01.000 --> 0:55:02.839
<v Speaker 1>me so happy. I used to be such a fan

0:55:02.960 --> 0:55:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of America's Best Dance Crew That was I watched that

0:55:06.160 --> 0:55:08.080
<v Speaker 1>more than so you think you can dance, And like,

0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:10.200
<v Speaker 1>every single time it would be on, I would just

0:55:10.280 --> 0:55:13.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like the dopamine just rushed into my brain just

0:55:13.640 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 1>watching people who are really good at like working together

0:55:16.920 --> 0:55:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and doing these amazing physical feats. Um It's like but

0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 1>with less fascism. We like the Jabberwocks I love. We

0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:32.440
<v Speaker 1>almost went to go see Jabbiwaukee's for my bachelorette and

0:55:32.480 --> 0:55:36.880
<v Speaker 1>then we saw Magic Mike uh instead, right, because I

0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:39.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to the options for that or the boss Lerman sir,

0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:44.239
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, we're going to your bachelorette party

0:55:44.280 --> 0:55:46.440
<v Speaker 1>with like all film critics, we have to go to

0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:49.720
<v Speaker 1>like the Exotic Mail Dance review based on Steven Sarbur

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:53.600
<v Speaker 1>It's so great. So we talked about it on the

0:55:53.600 --> 0:55:57.319
<v Speaker 1>podcast already, but just to reiterate, when this is all over,

0:55:57.440 --> 0:56:00.440
<v Speaker 1>if you get to take a Vegas vacation, highly command

0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the Magic Mic Show. It's so good. Yeah. I thought

0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:07.080
<v Speaker 1>all the little performances in this movie are so good too.

0:56:07.080 --> 0:56:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I did like the other cameos. I liked Elizabeth Banks

0:56:10.920 --> 0:56:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and McDowell and and I know also that like one

0:56:16.320 --> 0:56:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of Sarderberg's things about Andy mcdowan's sex lies and videotape

0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:21.920
<v Speaker 1>was he was like, everybody was so mean about her

0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Southern accent, and I was just and he's like from

0:56:24.680 --> 0:56:27.360
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans or Louisiana. He was just like, I just

0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:30.920
<v Speaker 1>thought she like sounded like people I knew, you know.

0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:33.239
<v Speaker 1>So again, just to see like Southern ladies of a

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:36.279
<v Speaker 1>certain age played like not camp, it's like you never

0:56:36.400 --> 0:56:39.920
<v Speaker 1>get to see that, you know, just like all of

0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:42.600
<v Speaker 1>this stuff could have been played so camp and it's not.

0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:47.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like, but it is a spectacle. I have to

0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:51.399
<v Speaker 1>say Andy McDowell and Jada Pinketsbeth both feel like they're

0:56:51.400 --> 0:56:54.799
<v Speaker 1>having the best time. Jada Pinkett Smith is fucking um

0:56:55.719 --> 0:56:58.360
<v Speaker 1>so good. I think there was like a small campaign

0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:02.319
<v Speaker 1>to try to get her best supporting this year. He

0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:05.480
<v Speaker 1>was great because she's playing the McConaughey role basically, and

0:57:05.520 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you're like, who could top McConaughey, Like, turns out to

0:57:08.440 --> 0:57:12.839
<v Speaker 1>think it's Smith. I Oh, it's so good, just great

0:57:12.880 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 1>mood lift. I'm happy just thinking about it right now. Yeah, no, totally.

0:57:16.920 --> 0:57:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Joe Manchinello, just for one second, is

0:57:21.040 --> 0:57:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it okay to call him the Armenian Stallion? Maybe it

0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:32.600
<v Speaker 1>barely rhymes, but yeah, maybe, Well he's so amazing. Um

0:57:32.640 --> 0:57:35.920
<v Speaker 1>he does a routine to a Backstreet Boys song. I

0:57:35.960 --> 0:57:38.480
<v Speaker 1>believe it as I want it that way. It is. Indeed,

0:57:39.320 --> 0:57:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I in a seven eleven. I think I like teared

0:57:42.800 --> 0:57:45.360
<v Speaker 1>up the first time I saw it because it's like

0:57:45.400 --> 0:57:48.600
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to get the lady at the register to

0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:51.240
<v Speaker 1>smile because she just seems like really dour or something.

0:57:51.280 --> 0:57:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's it. And so they're like taking bets

0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and who can get her a smile by like sexy

0:57:57.160 --> 0:58:01.000
<v Speaker 1>dancing in the middle of the seven eleven And it's

0:58:01.120 --> 0:58:05.760
<v Speaker 1>so cute. It's so it's like overly sexual but completely

0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:09.680
<v Speaker 1>non threatening, which is like this weirdly really specific balance

0:58:09.760 --> 0:58:12.280
<v Speaker 1>just that the movie strikes in general, but especially also

0:58:12.400 --> 0:58:16.560
<v Speaker 1>his character is on ecstasy and has like has kind

0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of forgotten. I think it's this is this is following

0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a pep talk where it's like you don't want to

0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:23.640
<v Speaker 1>be a fireman, like you're afraid of fire. You don't

0:58:23.680 --> 0:58:27.800
<v Speaker 1>want to like wear the stupid outfit, just connect with

0:58:27.840 --> 0:58:31.200
<v Speaker 1>like what you want, like make her like happy. That's

0:58:31.240 --> 0:58:35.000
<v Speaker 1>what you want when they're just like rolling their faces

0:58:35.040 --> 0:58:37.840
<v Speaker 1>off in like the middle of the day, all sweaty

0:58:37.880 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 1>on the bus. It's so funny. Also, Gabrielle Iglesias shout

0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:49.280
<v Speaker 1>out he is also in this and and just a

0:58:49.280 --> 0:58:53.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of random people. Donald Glover briefly gives like one

0:58:53.240 --> 0:58:58.200
<v Speaker 1>of the best monologues of the entire movie. Yeah, and

0:58:58.240 --> 0:59:01.560
<v Speaker 1>he does like the whole um like he makes up

0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a song for a girl that those those are the

0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:09.600
<v Speaker 1>worst strippers at the Magic Mike xfl show were the

0:59:09.640 --> 0:59:12.080
<v Speaker 1>ones who also sang. And the reason is because it

0:59:12.160 --> 0:59:18.600
<v Speaker 1>impedes their dancing, you know, right, just focus on one thing.

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:20.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a great movie to send us off at the

0:59:20.640 --> 0:59:23.960
<v Speaker 1>end of Spring Break March a very weird spring Break March.

0:59:24.480 --> 0:59:26.960
<v Speaker 1>But um, I think this has like the best vibes

0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of anything that we definitely total feel good or like

0:59:31.240 --> 0:59:35.240
<v Speaker 1>just remember what it feels like to feel good. Night
