21
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought it. Was it you who

22
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: tweeted that it slept on how she says Hong Chow,

23
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: no one was talking about Everyone was talking about Angela Bassett,

24

25
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Hong Chow, Dolly was really slept on. I think, yeah,

26
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring that into the discourse. I it resonated.

27
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it days later, same same. I feel

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: like we just like covered that briefly, but it has

29
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: really resonated. It's like the adena adele desime John troubled

30
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: to thing that just has sort of not gone away,

31
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: like that performance, I feel like is just still with us.

32
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna get really, it's gonna be. It's we're enjoying

33
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: it now and then we're and then we're gonna be

34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: upset that people because then everyone is going to learn

35
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: about it, and then it's going to be bad for

36
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: a while, but then it'll come back. It's like we're

37
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: at impressions comes in waves. Yeah, absolutely, I agree. I

38
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: brought it it the other day and Crickets Jack O'Brien,

39
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: nothing not from me. Yeah, I feel like I haven't

40
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: fully absorbed, absorbed too, like all of the intricacies I

41
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: will be. I'm one of the people who will be

42
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: making references to it in eight years like people are

43
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: over it. Yeah exactly, that's finally taken about doing the

44
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: thing in. Yeah exactly. I mean it takes that long

45
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: for it to marin. It's such a rich text. It's

46
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: a rich text, thank you. And so it is not

47
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: my fault, Jamie, richness of the text. It's actually that

48
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I am treating it appropriately and taking my time getting

49
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: into it. You know, Grect, I was being a huge bitch.

50
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm glad you picked up what I was.

51
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: I got. Well, I just got the message you sent

00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: me on Zoom. What is something from your search history?

53
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm gonna be painfully honest right now. Okay,

54
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: there is one thing, and one thing only in my

55
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: search history all weekend. This is a shame for myself

56
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: that I'm admitting this, but it is all vander Pump

57
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Rules related. How do we know about Do we know

58
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: about this epic drama that has unfolded over the weekend

59
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: by any chance in the Oh my god, I can

60
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: I can give you the quickest rundown of all time.

61
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: All Right, so that's what our shows about. Actually, let's

62
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: let's just do that. Vander Pump Rules, Let's go. Vander

63
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: Pump Rules is the greatest reality television show ever created.

64
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't watch other reality shows. I have no basis

65
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: for this whatsoever. I don't know if I've ever seen

66
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: a real housewives. But this show is a bunch of

67
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: monstrous single was started monstrous single people that live in

68
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: West Hollywood working at a restaurant, acting like absolute dipshits

69
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: because they all had no money and they would spend

70
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: it all. But now they all have money and it's

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: so much worse. But this is this is the rundown?

72
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Is this one guy, Tom Sandoval cheated on his girlfriend

73
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: of nine years with Raquel. I'm just gonna start. I'm

74
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: just gonna throw the names out there with Raquel. These

75
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: are all characters on the show, unless yes, Raquel has

76
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: been making out with Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval's business partner

77
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: and best friend who just got divorced from his wife

78
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Katie of twelve years. After Riquel called off her engagement

79
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: to James, who used to date Kristen, who used to

80
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: date Tom. It's great. Good they all dating each other.

81
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: It's like high school theater. Yeah, they're really given up.

82
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Like whatever we thought Tristan thompsonn drama was with Chloe Kardashian.

83
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is this is ten trillion times worse.

84
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: It's incredible. I'm in a chokehold. I can't stop. Okay,

85
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: I love this. I love this. I also love that,

86
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, like vander Pump Rules is a great name.

87
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Like I've been to what's the bar and we hold

88
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: that is from somebody from that show, Sir sir. Yeah,

89
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: there's there's so many now, yeah, they're so but that

90
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: was the original one, right, that's the that's like the

91
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: og I've been there. I just love the name. I've

92
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: never watched it. I only watched The Challenge and The Bachelor,

93
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: and then I had a reality show podcast where I

94
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: had to pretend like I actually watched reality shows. So

95
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, I lie, uh but they paid me so.

96
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: But I just really just love that name. It has

97
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: like the best name I think out of any of

98
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the Rules. It's kind of giving Odyle Rules a little Yeah, okay,

99
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: so you say, and the drama is there it's so great.

100
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: My question is, like, are they all sleeping with one

101
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: another because they know that they're all characters on the show,

102
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: and like they want, like the way that a royal

103
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: family will intermarry within the family, because they want to

104
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: consolidate power and like keep all the money for it,

105
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: keep all the power for themselves. Like, is there is

106
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: something because that that web of social and sexual connections

107
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: between the characters like is reminds me of like the

108
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: Habsburg family tree, you know, like it's just so interwoven,

109
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: and I wonder if there's some incentive there. I feel

110
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: like that was a very generous comparison. Yeah, well if

111
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I mean it didn't end up so

112
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: well for the Habsburgs. But I'm sure they think they're

113
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: the royal family. I mean they are I would say,

114
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: unfortunately the royal family a bravo right now, you know,

115
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: so they I think there's something to that. These particular

116
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: people in question. I don't know how samns words. They

117
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: are absolute losers. So I just think people people in

118
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: public probably won't sleep with them. I don't know why.

119
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I just assume blanket statement. You see this man's face,

120
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: he looks like a generic Harry Styles want to be

121
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: in the worst way, and because there's a good way

122
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: to look like a generic Harry Styles want to be. Yeah,

123
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: I think that's a base model Harry Styles. That's good.

124
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: But no, this guy looks like he wants to be

125
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: a Hairy Styles so bad and he sees a flare

126
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: pants and he just buys it like that's there's no

127
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: questions asked. But it's I mean, my favorite part about

128
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And I listen. I know you guys

129
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: don't know this drama, but I'm so excited to talk

130
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: about it. But this whole thing, the best part is

131
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: that he dressed up as his mistress for Halloween in

132
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: front of his current girlfriend and they all hung out together.

133
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: How crazy is it? Drama? How crazy is that drama?

134
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: That is just like you? Yeah? And then yeah, it's

135
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: it's it's such a mess. I am, I'm under a spell.

136
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: It's I open my phone, I try to look at

137
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: other things and I literally can't. You can't. Yeah, you can't.

138
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: I can't. You can't looked as you are. I I

139
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: really am. What is something then that you think is overrated?

140
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: All right now? Not everyone's gonna agree and Jack you

141
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: know that I typically you and Miles both know I

142
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: typically don't like saying things are over rated. Everybody's got

143
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: their own experiences. Big concerts, you know, I mean, Ticketmaster

144
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: is a pain in the key star anyway, thank you, Sorry,

145
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing. I'm yeah. Oh, don't be silent. I'm raising

146
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: my voice. Don't be silent anymore. So, Uh, big concerts,

147
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, everybody was excited to get back to them

148
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: after a shutdown in the US occurred. I don't want

149
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: to one. I'm not gonna say which one, but I

150
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: was like, okay, first off, fucking ticket Master. And then secondly,

151
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: there are lines everywhere. Every every imaginable drink is way

152
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: more expensive than it should be. And then you get

153
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: in and there's this massive press of people, and if

154
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: you're in a paranoid position like I usually am, you're thinking,

155
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: where are the exits? What if this goes wrong? These thousands,

156
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: there are several hundreds of people are very excited, usually

157
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: to hear maybe three four songs, and then uh, it's

158
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: just a bad look, you know what I mean. Maybe

159
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: maybe I'm getting old. I don't know, it's just what

160
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: do you guys think are big concerts overrated. Plus your

161
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: peepers can't see the damn artists on stage. You know,

162
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: It's that I don't know. I find concerts to be

163
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: things that I don't look forward to and always like

164
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: what they do to the like artists work like after

165
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: I've seen them is usually worth it to me, Like

166
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: I like it, I really like for whatever reason, like

167
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: just seeing someone perform live makes me really appreciate their

168
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: work a lot more and I love that creates some

169
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: value for me. But yeah, I mean I'm not. I'm

170
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: also not, Like I haven't been to a big concert

171
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: in many years, so I don't know if I've ever

172
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: been what qualifies as a big concert, like in an

173
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: amphitheater or something, you know, right, But as a person

174
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: with crowd anxiety, I am extremely on your side, Ben,

175
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't like and you know, and it started. It

176
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: hasn't always been that way it started, you know. I

177
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: used to be able to go to big music festivals

178
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: outside and not have a problem, and then I kept

179
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: going to them, and then I started feeling really crazy

180
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: and being like I need to leave. You know, so

181
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: many people, it's been so many people since COVID, it

182
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: has not improved my cat is really upset that I'm

183
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: not paying attention to her, so she just knocked something

184
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: on my my laut shout out, shout out, Mila International

185
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: Women's Day Queen. Yes, yeah, no, I can't do that anymore.

186
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: Um and And I always kind of thought sometimes they

187
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: see video, you know, people go see Beyonce or whatever

188
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: and got those like nosebleed seats, and you know, there's

189
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: big screens that show you the artist. But I'm like,

190
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: you might as well just be watching a video of

191
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: the concert, right, Yeah, it's I mean, it's not for you.

192
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: I was back. The fun part, sorry, just the fun

193
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: part of that is that you're watching the screen and

194
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: then taking a video of the screen, so you're watching

195
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: the screen through your screen, so there's like four levels

196
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: of things happening, but you are in the same physical space.

197
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, And it reminds me of like one

198
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: time I went to go see this rapper and I

199
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: was trying to I had like a disposable like flash camera,

200
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: and so I raised it up to try and take

201
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: a picture of the rapper on stage. And what I

202
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: ended up with, because of the strength, you know, the

203
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: limited strength of the flash, was a picture of a

204
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: bunch of people raising their cell phones. You can't see

205
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: what's going on on stage at all, but the only

206
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: accurate picture of a concert ever taken. That's how they

207
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: know you were really there. Yeah. Yeah, so like the

208
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: thing that I will just say, there's a brief backstory

209
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta, Georgia, an up and coming musician named

210
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift had a concert. And I don't know if

211
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: you all have heard of this person, but I see

212
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: big things for them in the future. And everyone in

213
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: the everyone in the places I would go to walking

214
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: around my usual sketchy reprobate cruise, they were all very

215
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: excited and we're all like, oh, Ben, we're going to

216
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: this Taylor Swift concert. And I would say, well, you're

217
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: the You're like the fortieth person I know who is

218
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: going now, and you might want to hurry up. Yeah,

219
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I like, I think there's gonna be a line, dude,

220
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: and U it just soured. Men. You know, no disrespect

221
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: to the artist, because touring is one of the primary

222
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: ways they make their money. Now that so many big

223
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: studios or production companies have become poisonous fl my time,

224
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: but when somebody does a residency in Las Vegas, I

225
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: think that's the only way to truly see someone, because

226
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: then the crowd is thin enough because everybody is kind

227
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: of they're doing the same show after day. They have

228
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: it down by heart. You're getting to see a robotic

229
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: version of them. I don't know. This is all to say,

230
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: I really want to see Katy Perry in Las Vegas.

231
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I've just come to that conclusion in the last twenty

232
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: four hours. Yeah, I'm going Carrot Top. But you know what,

233
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: let's meet up for dinner. Okay, Amory, what's something you

234
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: think is underrated? Well, this isn't going to do anything

235
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: to disprove Ben's accusations that I am an old woman,

236
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: but they're both elderly things. But I'm gonna I'm sticking

237
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: to my guns, and I'm gonna say flossing. Flossing is

238
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: highly underrated. You don't know all the shit you're missing

239
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: in your teeth until you start flossing, and then once

240
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: you start, you'll never go back because you know exactly

241
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: what's in there and what you got out. And everyone

242
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: should be flossing. So I'm sticking to it. Spicy take

243
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: thank you. I am now flossing daily for the first

244
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: time in my life really yet to have my teeth

245
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: cleaning like chi follow up, like final exam. It's how

246
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm viewing it. So I'm like, I've never had a

247
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: cavity in my life, and I'm like thinking that, like

248
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: for some reason, this is going to be like the

249
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: first time I had, Like so you get yeah, I

250
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: get a cavity from flossing somehow. Talked to a dentist

251
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: who is saying that, like your mouth is constantly at

252
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: war between like cavities and gum disease, Like those are

253
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: the two things that can be going on in your mouth,

254
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: but like it's kind of one or the other because

255
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: they're like caused by like bacteria that are like at

256
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: war with one another. And so if you're not a

257
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: cavity person, you probably are dealing with gum disease and

258
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: or like vice versa. I would party in there at

259
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: the very least, like cavities, gum disease or party like

260
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: there's a part in your mouth. Yeah, there's a party

261
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: in your mouth. Yeah the bread smell like sh Yeah.

262
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: Then how about you? What's something you take is underrated?

263
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: The hold my nip subreddit. I really like the whole poe.

264
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,000

00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: my Nip subreddit, And this is of course something that

266
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: we've discovered through making endless thread over the years and

267
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: looking at a lot of stories on Reddit, and you know,

00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: I unfortunately couldn't decide because I hadn't done enough research

303
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: on how to peel the orange. And you know, there's

304
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: so many opinions out there, whether you show just break

305
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: it in half or you know, I just sort of

306
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: I dove in like a starving monkey and would I would,

307
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: I would recommend that approach. That was good advice. Yeah, amazing.

308
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm a part of the showering Orange community. Am coming

309
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: out as that Wow. Congratulations, brave Wow gave us the

310
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: scoop in everything a comedian we should and will milk

311
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: comes out as a shower Orange community. This will be

312
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: just as powerful as that Ellen thing. Yeah, just as big.

313
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: In Florida, just a couple stories from last week about

314
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: Florida politicians trying to turn the state of Florida into

315
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: a like dystopian right wing police state and like more

316
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: than they already have. I guess with the book bands,

317
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: this seems like it's an overall strategy where Rond de

318
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: Santis is like picking a fight with every everyone who's

319
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: not a right wing like mega person, and then we'll

320
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: use that to as like free publicity for his campaign,

321
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: which has kind of been his That's what his entire

322
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: career has been based on. So first, last week there

323
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: was one that I think we can mostly dismiss as

324
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: just like a stunt. It was from a Republican state senator,

325
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: a Senate bill that they're trying trying to use to

326
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: render the Democratic Party non existent, dubbed the Ultimate Cancel Act,

327
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: and they're they're like, this is where, oh, you want

328
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: to cancel us, Well, we're canceling the Democratic Party. People

329
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: there is like now, you know, right wing politicians really

330
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: do have a way with just like the most like

331
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: lobotomized turn of phrase that you could possibly come up with,

332
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: but it usually that it's sticky. It sticks in my head.

333
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: That makes no sense, and it's like it's sticky, Well

334
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: not my shoe. Well you were doing it wrong, jack,

335
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be getting sticky. I ripped it open after

336
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: I got out of the shower, and a very good

337
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: ambassador for our community right now, I'll say that much.

338
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Some people have compared the bill to when the Nazis

339
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: did away with all other political parties, but it seems

340
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: like it's more of a like publicity stunt intended to

341
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: expose the hypocrisy of cancel culture and the guy who's

342
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: behind it, like, I mean, he's very powerful, like he

343
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: used to be the head of the Republican Party in Florida,

344
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: but he does just seem like kind of a carnival

345
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: barker who's looking for an audience. Like I don't I

346
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: don't know again, I can't see this actually happening or

347
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: if it does like actually affecting policy all that much.

348
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: But it just that's that's what's hard about Florida these days,

349
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: is like it's easy to be like Rhonda Santis is

350
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: just like talking about Disney and not paying attention to

351
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: things that actually affect people's lives. But then he actually

352
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: signs laws affecting taxation and is just like super powerful,

353
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: and then like bands books in children's libraries and like

354
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: the we see like video of people of empty elementary

355
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: school libraries. You know. Yeah, I mean I've had friends

356
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: whose books are no longer like allowed in Florida. It's

357
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: like it's ridiculous, and I like that. Uh, it's it's

358
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: fun to dunk on Rhonda Santis and we should and

359
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: we're right to do it. But I think, yeah, like

360
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: one of the scariest things about him is that he's

361
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: like not an idiot like he'd and I feel like

362
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: he's like developing this and maybe this falls under this

363
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: category because like the language of the ultimate Cancel Act,

364
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: Like it sounds like like mustache twirling cartoon villain, like

365
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: cancel the filings of a political party if the party's

366
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: platform is previously advocated for or been in support of,

367
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: like involuntary servitude or slavery. Like it's just like word salad.

368
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: But it seems like even with the Disney stuff and

369
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: the horrible book, that he's really saying like it almost

370
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: reminds me of times that like, you know, Donald Trump

371
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: would do like the dumbest thing he could think of

372
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: when he was about to pass some really scary legislation,

373
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: so you would talk about the dumb thing and not

374
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: pay attention to the thing that actually harms people. And

375
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: it feels like DeSantis is like really getting a feel

376
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: for that pattern. Yeah, I know, because part of it,

377
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: like it's obviously like righteous to dunk on him. And

378
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: it also it reminds me of that remember that video

379
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: going around a like well more lists, we'll see who

380
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: cancels who like Jordan Peterson, Yeah, guy, yes, yes, yes,

381
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: it reminds me of that video. It's so we'll see

382
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: who cancel. He sounds he sounded so weird, he said,

383
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: like he's about to like take off in a flintstone

384
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: car exactly. Oh god, I know, but yeah, he wields

385
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: a lot of power. He's a very like he's like

386
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: a he is a very powerful and scary figure that

387
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: can do a lot of harm in in his state. Yeah.

388
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: And so the other one that on its face seems

389
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of similarly just easy to dunk on and dismiss,

390
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: but actually is probably very scary in reality. They're going

391
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: after bloggers. They proposed a bill that would require bloggers

392
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: to register with the state if they're going to write

393
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: any stories about DeSantis or other Florida politicians, which is

394
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: pretty scary. Yeah, I mean it's and they like the

395
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: way they're doing it. They're like they would be required

396
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: to submit monthly reports, including disclosing their pay or else

397
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: risk being fined by the government. Which is this a

398
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: scheme to expose how underpaid bloggers are or like that

399
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: they're not paid because I don't know what they think

400
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: bloggers are being paid? Or what do do I not

401
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: know what bloggers are? Is that? Well, I does the

402
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: person who wrote this know what bloggers are? That seems

403
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: like a really really broad like Perez Hilton was a blogger,

404
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: like who I've not read a blog in so many years?

405
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: Is this a tumbler specific piece of let's just say it, like,

406
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: who's funding all these tumblers that are making memes about me,

407
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis? Like they just assume, I don't know, because

408
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: they do have a big like contingent of their strategy

409
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: is paying bloggers who just write like hagiographic like just

410
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: love letters to Ronda Santis. So like I'm wondering if

411
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: they assume that because they have to they need like

412
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: billionaire secret funders for all their media that like that's

413
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: true of everyone criticizing them as well, and so that's

414
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: where they're coming from. But it really seems misguided. But

415
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, like it could very easily be

416
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: the first step in like a very slippery slope right

417
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: where it's like they're doing it in my space first,

418
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 1: and they're like, oops, now we're gonna do it on

419
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: another platform, Like they okay, so you guys don't do

420
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: blogs anymore? We get it? Yeah, okay, okay, okay, reset,

421
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: Like that's it's just oh god, I do. I Mean,

422
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: this is like a really scared I mean, it seems

423
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: like they're just trying to what like suppress any potential

424
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: criticism of De santists, and just like curb free speech,

425
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: sick love that. Um well, yeah, I don't know. I mean,

426
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: if this vocabulary choice blows up in their face, that

427
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: would be kind of funny. But it just sounds like

428
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: you could apply like isn't like technically Twitter is like

429
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: micro blogging? Am I like inventing that? I feel like

430
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: that's what it was called when it came out question

431
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: mark an expression of your opinion is a blog? Any

432
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: tweet about RHN de Santis will need to be officially

433
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: licensed by the Florida government. How do you fucking enforce

434
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: something like that? I mean, I yeah, it's just I

435
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess I just hope that they're not

436
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: smart enough to be able to even follow through with

437
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: such a thing. But yeah, it does feel pretty suppressive.

438
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And he's to unionize all my psychic friends

439
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: in Florida. Right. The last time I talked to a

440
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: psychic in Florida, he was like and it was like

441
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: I think it was like he was like dissing me

442
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh, I don't remember the last time

443
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: I've said diss But he was like, thank you so much.

444
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: He you know, he's like, well, as far as where

445
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: you're going to end up, you are not welcome in Florida.

446
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, wait, that's actually

447
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: kind of a compliment, right, I know, well it's like

448
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: I I was, I mean it, but he was like

449
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: he loved being in Florida. But he was like, clearly

450
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: something's off. And then Florida is not for you, honey,

451
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Florida is not for me. And it's like, you know what, fine,

452
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: I accept that was he saying you're not allowed in

453
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: Florida or you're not allowed to retire to Florida. Said

454
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: he just sort of said me in Florid or at

455
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: a that we it's not where you end up is

456
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: a weird Yeah, yeah, I mean, and it's he I mean,

457
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: he's he's fascinating. He says, guy Lewis Gates. He's got

458
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: a YouTube channel. I watch it. He's doing all sorts

459
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: of stuff. But yeah, I don't I don't know. He said,

460
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: I have no place in Florida. Florida is not for me.

461
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: And then he's like maybe she's a little more bicoastal.

462
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, yeah, there you go. Thank

463
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: you so much. Lewis. Yeah, thank you. Congratulations to you, James.

464
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the opposite of Marxism. The

465
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal had this article that Americans are encountering

466
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: more problems with companies, products and services than ever before,

467
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: and a higher proportion of them are actively seeking quote

468
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: revenge for their troubles, a new study has found, which

469
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: is intense. So that what do they mean by revenge?

470
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: It's I think it's like writing nasty comments, like sending letters,

471
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, doing reaching out to the company, and yes,

472
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: just any sort of follow up action that's taken. Yes,

473
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: but they the revenge is definitely what drew my attention.

474
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: But it's also I don't know, so it's up. So

475
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: some revenge is getting back together. But they're called customers

476
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: want revenge. Yes, seventy of the one thousand customers surveyed

477
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: said they had experienced service problems in the last year,

478
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: which is up sixty six percent from twenty twenty. And

479
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, more and more of them are seeking this vengeance,

480
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, a kill bill style revenge saga against Southwest

481
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Airlines or you know training that is the picture that

482
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: used was a you know, some Southwest Airlines consumer facing

483
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: person at an airport looking like they were twelve hours

484
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: away from all of their hair falling out from just

485
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: having to deal with just horrific toxicity. Well, shit, I

486
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: wonder why, right exactly, I hope nobody, nobody is actually

487
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: yelling at the people who are working because they're not

488
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: in charge of the fuckery, you know what I mean,

489
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: Like every time, every time you have a problem at

490
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: the counter of someplace, yelling at that person is not

491
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: going to get back to the person who is responsible,

492
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: you know exactly that I don't know. I think it's

493
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: very convenient for corporations to do that exactly. You know,

494
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: there's like my immediate thought is, of course, this has

495
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: to do with all the supply line bullshit, where like

496
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: I know, somebody who got their catalytic converter strolling off

497
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: their car needs a new catalytic converter, and so they're

498
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: having a problem, where all of the mechanics are like,

499
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: we don't have any, and we don't know when we're

500
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna get any, so we don't know when we can

501
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: fix your car, and so it's not a customer complaint

502
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: towards the mechanic. The mechanic has nothing to do with it,

503
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: but there's definitely customer dissatisfaction. So you know, if you

504
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: were to survey and be like, do you have problems

505
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: being a consumer, we'd be like, yeah, but it doesn't

506
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: have to do. It's not because the service is bad.

507
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: It's because the ship's not there, yes, and the I

508
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: mean also I think the service is bad in a

509
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: lot of these cases, like with the airlines or you know,

510
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 1: even with car companies, Like the car companies used to

511
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: like prior to the pandemic, we're like more cons it

512
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: was like more of a buyer's market, and now it's

513
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: more of a fuck you, this is what we have

514
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: market like and they're understaffed, yes, because they're wildly fucking understaffed.

515
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: Everybody is so completely understaffed, like the Southwest Airlines thing

516
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: is like all of the benefits of this current system

517
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: fall to like the c suite and the people who

518
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: are making decisions like at the higher levels and the

519
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: companies who are the only thing they have to pay

520
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: attention to in order to do their job and to

521
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: feel like they're successful at the job. Is like how

522
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: wall Street, Like Wall Street is the only incentive that

523
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: they have to care about. And then all of the

524
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: customer facing employees and the customer the consumers themselves are

525
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 1: just like fighting a war between each other and just

526
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: like becoming more and more miserable, and like this isn't

527
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: I think this is invisible, Like this is the sort

528
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: of thing that we just kind of It's like this

529
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: is water type thing. It's like the weather is getting

530
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: slowly worse, but we are not noticing it because we're

531
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: just living in it day to day. But you know,

532
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: all of these consumer indices are have gotten like way

533
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: way worse since they started tragging them in like the

534
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies. They just get worse and worse and worse

535
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: because everything has gotten less and less and less regulated.

536
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: And the only thing that these companies have to pay

537
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: any attention to is their stock prices, so they cut employees.

538
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: They you know, they just do these things that make

539
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: it impossible for the people at the lowest levels who

540
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: are dealing with the consumers and make the consumers experience worse.

541
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: And of course none of this is mentioned in the

542
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal article. The only thing, the only way

543
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: that it registers to them is they're like, you know,

544
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: they every time an angry consumer contacts a company that

545
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: company's losing money, and that's one way to view it,

546
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: But of course I don't think that makes sense just

547
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: because it's a wasting their time so you have to

548
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: like spend resources on dealing with it and also probably

549
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: is like bad marketing, so I guess. But if you

550
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: deal with it, well, then the customer will come back,

551
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: and so then are you making money? But you have

552
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: to pay money to deal with it. Well, like that's

553
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: the damned thing about this market, like the if you're

554
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: going to let the free market run your country, you

555
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge that this essentially means your country doesn't

556
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: work like this this system tell me more jack, Yeah,

557
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: Like well, like they're just they feel like that's wasted

558
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: time and wasted money, like spent dealing with angry customers,

559
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: and if we all just agree to treat customers like shit,

560
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: then like they don't really have another option. Well, this

561
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: also kind of feels like one of those things where

562
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: it's like you know that the fallacy that like the

563
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: rate of left handedness went up after left handedness stopped

564
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: being categorized as like a medical deficiency and started being

565
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: categorized as just an alternate way of fucking writing yes,

566
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: and so then the rate went up because people weren't

567
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: being forced to write with their non dominant hand anymore.

568
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: And this feels like that where it's like, you know,

569
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: now that we have the Internet and Yelp and every

570
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: company has to have a website, in a Twitter and

571
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: an Instagram, there are so many more ways for angry

572
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: customers to tell you how angry they are. So it's

573
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're angrier or if they just

574
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: have easier access to you to tell you that they're upset.

575
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: Because it used to be when you were mad at

576
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: an airline that you could basically go fuck yourself, but

577
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: now you can tweet at them and they have to

578
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: pay attention. Right. But I mean they've been investing in

579
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: like cute social media, like Southwest Airlines is like h

580
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: mondays am I right, And then like so they have

581
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: like somebody who they you know, pay a lot of

582
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: money to like give their corporate brand a fucking like

583
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: lovable personality, and at the same time, like satisfaction west

584
00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines couldn't be lower because that's like they don't

585
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: fucking need to care about the consumer, because that is

586
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: how the system is set up. It's just allowing them

587
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: to focus on creating shareholder value. Yeah, let's okay, this

588
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: something I want to go back to here. So the

589
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: American Customer Satisfaction Index, in my experience on a couple

590
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: of a couple of different projects, innocuous names are sort

591
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: of a flag and I want to figure like, is

592
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: it crooked? That's my question? Is it like the American

593
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: Consumer Satisfaction Index brought to you by Raytheon or whatever?

594
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, like like is this? I mean, it's very easy,

595
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: through any number of proxies and platforms to make something

596
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: like that that appears to be a nonprofit. And again,

597
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: the people working there, the people doing that research may

598
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: actually not know the ultimate arbiters of it, you know,

599
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: like what is also I don't trust the Wall Street

600
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: Journal I'm sorry, no, I don't either. But it's just

601
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: funny to see how they I think they're taking a

602
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: real like signal that they're getting that the consumer experience

603
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: across all these different things is getting worse, and they're

604
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: just treating it as like a symptom that like corporate

605
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: CEOs need to pay attention to, like when crunching the

606
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: numbers on their spreadsheets, as opposed to like a very real,

607
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: like broad scale problem that is happening in the country

608
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: where like they just like don't have to give a

609
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: shit about, like, you know, the consumers of their products

610
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: or the people who work for them at the lower level,

611
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: and they keep firing people because it's like fashionable to

612
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: do so. And so it's just this world that is

613
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: being run by people who like have absolutely no connection

614
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: and to what our lived experiences are like out in

615
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: the world interacting with their products unless they to Sara's point,

616
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: unless they see the tweet, unless they see one of

617
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: those other platforms, or like it's probably not them who

618
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: as TikTok. It might be one of their kids, and

619
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: their kid is running up and telling the parent, oh,

620
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: there's something bad. You know, Like the president of Norfolk

621
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Southern lives here in Atlanta, and you know before the yeah,

622
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: right before they heat hit, maybe one of that guy's

623
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: kids came up and said, oh, my god, dad, that

624
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: looks like people aren't super happy with everything. And he's like, well,

625
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: tell me more about this social media you know, Monty

626
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Burn's hands and whatnot. I mean, it's I think it's

627
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: a beautiful point that first off, there's some nomenclature too,

628
00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: to unpack. Calling people customers or consumers is a little

629
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: tricky because it makes them sound like they're not people. Yeah, right,

630
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: so it does. Though even if with the problems that

631
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: you've pointed out here, it does still feel like things

632
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: are on the rise, but there's a dangerous disconnect and

633
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: trying to attribute the reasons for that. Like you made

634
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: the great point about understaffing, people aren't like, of course,

635
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: there's a longer line. I was. I was in Amsterdam

636
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: a while back, and I like got to the airport

637
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: early to get a plane out because I knew, you know,

638
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: there were pending strikes. There were also very few people

639
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: working at the airport. And when people are in a

640
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: terrible situation, airports are often a terrible situation in general.

641
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: They were not thinking of looking at the systemic causes.

642
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: There are people, you know, with a family, and they're

643
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: trying to get their family to the fucking other airport

644
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: where they've got the layover because nobody can afford a

645
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,959
Speaker 1: direct flight for places, you know, and and they want

646
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: someone to blame. And so a lot of people on

647
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: the front lines of any customer service thing, they're having

648
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: to be the scapegoats for the people at the top,

649
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: and I think it's just gross, you know, like I

650
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: don't know. And then those people are being forced to

651
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: work like that understaffing leads to people who are you know,

652
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: being forced to work with the threat of like not

653
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: having healthcare or being able to feed their family. And

654
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: then like the Wall Street Journal will publish an article

655
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: being like, why are Americans so unhappy? Is it their phones?

656
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: Is it because they have the language to describe unhappiness

657
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: now that they are going to therapy, And it's like, no, motherfucker,

658
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: you have like a brutal Americans are discovering rage, right

659
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: they know, like they have the language to address it now,

660
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: and so they are therefore like aware of their unhappiness

661
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: and they're like, what is happening here? Like how has

662
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: it gotten worse than the seventies? And it's because therapy

663
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: is therapy? No right jacket's mental health. It's been a

664
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: scam the whole time. All it does is make people

665
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: unsatisfied and make women unsatisfied with home life. That but

666
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: that is like a legitimate thesis that is getting spread

667
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: around out there instead of no, the overall economic conditions

668
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 1: are worse because you have just allowed Wall Street to

669
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: run the entire country, and that is what happens. Like

670
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: the market doesn't functional, doesn't functionally work, doesn't create a

671
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: functioning society, It creates this. I'm telling you the problem

672
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: within houses. Just the doors are too small, says the Fox.

673
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I think it's

674
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: there's an older, excellent speech about that. But but this

675
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: this idea is kind of nuts too, because we have

676
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: to realize that there are there are plenty of like

677
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: younger generations. If I were a parent right now, I

678
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: would be a little concerned, which I know sounds very

679
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: Fox News, but I'm going somewhere good with it. If

680
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 1: I was a parent right now, I would I would

681
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: be concerned about a kid who one day probably will

682
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: get a job at some point and has to deal

683
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: with this like how understaffed can a place be? How

684
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: how how long can align get? Who can who can

685
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: afford these things? Like if you are working in at

686
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: a whole center, right, in many cases your job is

687
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: to get yelled at for like eight hours, not counting

688
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: your mandatory overtime. And is that like when your kid

689
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: tells you about the dream job, when they're like oh,

690
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: I want to be you know whatever the first werewolf

691
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: faster not on the moon. And then you say, well,

692
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: already had many werewolf faster knots on the moon. Yes,

693
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: you're you're a Comcast fit. I think you should. You

694
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: should be on the front lines of the Comcast phones

695
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: or experience whatever they're calling truly, Yeah, yeah, I am

696
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: a parent. It's a nightmare. Uh yeah, they will all

697
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: be one company and their most because I mean that's

698
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: the thing is that like we read about, like there

699
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 1: are these characters who like get turned into the main

700
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: characters of the news, and they're all the CEOs. They're

701
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: like the Elon Musks and like the you know, the

702
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: people the Wall Street Journal like give names and faces too.

703
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: But the vast majority of the country is the people

704
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: who are on just like eating shit every day because

705
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: of the decisions made by those people. And then the

706
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: only way that that shit eating registers is in like

707
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: these vague fucking like surveys where they're like consumers indicate

708
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: that they're like less satisfied and more likely to just

709
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: quote go fucking berserk as a result of the bad

710
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, It's just like if thigs was so hard

711
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: for the peasants. Why do they have so much time

712
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: to raise so much rabble about this? Exactly? Rowse, damn

713
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: it whatever, leave it. And that's the truth, is that

714
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: we don't have enough time to raise the rabble because

715
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: we are trying. We're being worked like end to end,

716
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,479
Speaker 1: and like that's the thing that I think we saw

717
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty when things like slowed down and everyone

718
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: like looked around was like, fuck all of this, and

719
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: then the economy open back up, and again people don't

720
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: have enough time to raise rabble as they as they

721
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: do in at least other countries around the around the

722
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: globe anyways, true nightmare shit from the Wall Street Charnal.

723
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll be back to talk

724
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: about sunny d with vodka. And we're back And Creed

725
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: three made all the money fifty eight point seven million

726
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: in North America, more than one hundred million globally, the

727
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: biggest opening ever for the Creed Rocky franchise or a

728
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: sports movie. Which that's crazy. That's surprising some big sports movies.

729
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: That's surprising to me. Yeah, Ali, it made more than Ali. Yeah,

730
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: well I guess also, yeah, adjustifore inflation, I guess but

731
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: like us when Ali came out, take us we're six dollars.

732
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: But that is still surprising to me. I mean Rocky

733
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: four was like, I mean, I guess it's different, like,

734
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: but Rocky four like was the number one movie for

735
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: like half of the year that it came out. But yeah,

736
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: I guess they just didn't people. They only release like

737
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: eight movies back then, so you just knew to catch

738
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: it the next weekend. Yeah, and now movies only say

739
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: theaters for six days or some shit, like it'll be

740
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: create to be on streaming next month, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

741
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: but even it even beat D two Mighty Ducks Part two,

742
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: so wow, doing something right, But yeah, I don't know.

743
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: The other story that like kind of emerged was that

744
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson went to couples therapy

745
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: in character for the movie. Tessa Thompson said, I think

746
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: the moral of Create three is that all people should

747
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: go to therapy. That's pretty much the moral of Create three. Yeah,

748
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: people should go to therapy as themselves, but going as

749
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: someone else seems to work pretty well too. Yeah, that's

750
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: very funny. I did see KRE three, so I'm not

751
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna give I'm gonna try my

752
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: best to not give any spoilers, so no spoilers. However,

753
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just give my opinion on the movie. So

754
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: if you don't want to hear anything, I will just

755
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: say that to you right now. I had never seen

756
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: any of the Creeds before this week. Oh, I just

757
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: get that out there. And like, I know, I know,

758
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: like the writers. I know the dude who wrote the

759
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: first movie, not Ryan Coogler, but his writing partner Aaron Covington.

760
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: Shout out Aaron, who also was a writer on Grand Crew,

763
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know why. I don't know why. It was a

764
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: movie I've always wanted to see. But I decided to

765
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: watch both Creeds this week before I went to go

766
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: see Creed three because I really wanted to see Creed

767
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 1: three because it looked the trailer looked dope. Jonathan Majors

768
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: is having himself a year. He looks fantastic in it.

769
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: I wanted to see the movie. I watched Creed one,

770
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: Creed two. Fantastic, truly fantastic, fucking movies Creed two, I

771
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: was highest ship when I'm watched it got me emotional.

772
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: It was a movie. Is such a good movie. Create

00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: three is a good movie. It's a good movie. It's

774
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: a good movie. WHOA Okay, go watch it. Go watch it.

775
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you in the grand scheme of movies, it

776
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 1: is a good movie. It is worth the watch, It

777
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: is worth the time to go and enjoy some time

778
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: at the movie theaters left me left. Wasn't my favorite Creed?

779
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't my favorite Creed. I don't know if this is

780
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: a spoiler or not. I don't think it is. But

781
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was too short. That's what I'll say.

782
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: I think the movie is too short. The movie is

783
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: missing key elements that time would have given the movie

784
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: that the other two movies had. And and I don't

785
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: know what that is. And I've noticed this recently, like

786
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: a lot of movies are starting to like shorten their

787
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: run not a lot, because there's still some three hour

788
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: fucking movies, but the movies are starting to shorten their

789
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: run time a little bit, and studios are starting to

790
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: make a conscious effort to all right, maybe you don't

791
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: need to be in a movie theater for two and

792
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: a half hours, And I've always said this, if a

793
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: movie is good, I don't give a fuck how long

794
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: it is a movie. If a movie is good, we'll

795
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: be there. And I know not everybody's the same, but

796
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: if the story is compelling, a great movie can make

797
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: two and a half hours seemed like ninety minutes, right, Yeah,

798
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: A bad movie can make two and a half hours

799
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: feel like a whole fucking day. So like that, that's

800
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: my take on that. I thought the movie was too short.

801
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: I thought the movie was missing some things, but the

802
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: movie is still good. Michael be Jordan's great. These niggas

803
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: look amazing in this movie. John and the Major's is

804
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: just oh my god, on another planet right now. They

805
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: really crushed it with marketing wise. They really they really

806
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: knew their audience to some degree, because man, it was

807
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot of just wet bodies. So I'm like, well, well, well,

808
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: well I've never seen a boxing movie before, but it

809
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: was spicy just for thirty second Taylor trailers. But yeah,

810
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: the pitch to studio executives was like, we all know

811
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Majors exists, what if he was wet? Yeah, like

812
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: start exploding. Yeah, that guy's just like Scrooge mcducking his life,

813
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: diving into money right now, he's got to have so

814
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 1: much money Quantumnia this movie back to back. I mean,

815
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: I want to see I want to see his bank account. Yeah.

816
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: I also love Craft and yeah he's on the Netflix

817
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: move the harder we fall, like he's just been and

818
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: he's great. That's the good thing. I love. I love

819
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: when an actor is having their moment. I love when

820
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: a black actors having their moment. And I love that

821
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: when on top of their black ass moments, they're also

822
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: fucking fantastic, so it's like they deserved this. They're not

823
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: just having a moment because they're having a moment. They're

824
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: having a moment because they are fantastic. And it's like

825
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan May just has it. He is on another planet

826
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: right now as far as acting goes, and he's he's

827
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: doing a damn thing and I love it. He really

828
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be like he's on his trajectory

829
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: to be one of the best actors of our generation,

830
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: hands down. He's Yeah, he's having his rehershala Ali moment

831
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: from like two three years ago, right right, But even

832
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: that felt like Mahershali was like a little, tried to

833
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: tried to keep it like so there wasn't so much

834
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: Mahershali that like we didn't we we weren't left wanting more.

835
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Major's is just like suddenly everywhere and everyone's like, yes,

836
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: feed me, please more. That's a good point that I

837
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: don't know. You never hear people say a movie is

838
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: too short, Like if a movie is a good hang,

839
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it feels too short, and the only complaint is

840
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: like cranky film critics being like I have to pick

841
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: up the kids, wrap it up. It's like, I don't

842
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: know that represents most film fans, Like, yeah, if I'm

843
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: enjoying myself, I'll hang you know, oh yeah, on it.

844
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: It beats going out to bars. Yeah, such a homebody nowadays,

845
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like it feels like I'm doing so much

846
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: more than i am. When I go to a movie

847
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 1: that's really long, I'm like, yes, I had a full

848
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: night of fun. I didn't go out, I went, I

849
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: came home at midnight, and I feel so accomplished at

850
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: a three film. I love going to I love I'm

851
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: a theater head. I love going to the movies. I

852
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: love the experience as an amazing AMC A list for life,

853
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: you know, for those of you who don't have AMC's

854
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: in your town. It's a movie subscription program but basically

855
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: one month cost the price of one fucking ticket. And

856
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: it's amazing. You could see like nine movies a month.

857
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: So I'm in the theaters all the damn time. And

858
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: when I say this movie was short, it wasn't just like, oh,

859
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: wish that it was longer so I could have been

860
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: enjoying myself more. I just felt like there were key

861
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: parts of the story something that they rushed through that,

862
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: especially with me jesseeing both creats like this week, So

863
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: it's very fresh in my mind how those stories let

864
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: all their beats breathe in the way that it needed to.

865
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: That that's my that's my complaint on Creed three. However,

866
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: go watch that ship two Black leads Michael B. Jordan's

867
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: directoral directorial debut as beautiful movie. Shot. Well, a good movie,

868
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: Felicia were shot. You know, give it up for our mom.

869
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: Felicia shot. It's a good time, y'all. It's a good time. Yeah.

870
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: Like they don't even fit the boxing, the fight in

871
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: at the end. They're just like you get the first

872
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: round and then they're like, YadA, YadA, YadA, you know

873
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: who wins. Anyways, that means true kind of they focus

874
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: more on the therapy aspect in that one wasn't really

875
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: therapy happy. Like That's what My main takeaway from this

876
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: review from Tessa Thompson is that it's a film, a

877
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: boxing film about therapy first fighting second. Okay, yeah, man,

878
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: I was this this orm. I was sitting at a

879
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: bar one time in twenty when I think the first

880
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: Creed came out in twenty fifteen, right, I was sitting,

881
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: um sometimes yeah somewhere. Yeah, I was sitting in a

882
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: bar and I remember so specifically because the guy next

883
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: to me, he was like, oh oh, I just like

884
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't keep himself together. And the bartender is like,

885
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: are you okay. He's like, Creed's ruining my life and

886
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there so invested. And then he begins to

887
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: tell the bartender that he used to date Tessa Thompson.

888
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't think any of this is true, but he

889
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: says he used to date Tessa Thompson and that she

890
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: left him for the movie Creed. He's like, I don't,

891
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't, that doesn't track. Your your name is you

892
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: have a you know, a supreme shirt on your name

893
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: is Nick. I don't think so. No, No, same bro.

894
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: I would have just been like, same bro. Yeah, I

895
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: think yeah, I think he needs to watch this movie

896
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: and maybe he'd Tessa Thompson's words. Also, I hope it

897
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 1: is true. I hope, I hope you did day testa

898
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: tomstand and she left him to go film Creed, Because

899
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: what a ludicrous thing to be upset about, Like, yeah, yeah,

00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: to dungeons and dragons on her amongst thieves. I don't

911
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: among fee's rather March thirty first, which I don't know

912
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: how that one's gonna do. But yeah, I'm very listen,

913
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. Why is this dude called me? Oh sorry,

914
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm very excited for I got to get off my chest. Man,

915
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, if you can get me back in contact

916
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: with Tessa. She left me to du create three two

917
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: man and she never came back. She never came back.

918
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: But now completely forget Oh, I love that. I'm loving

919
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: you look for the past. From like basically two thousand

920
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: and nine up until two twenty, the blockbuster lane has

921
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: been filled almost exclusively with MCU And I'm not knocking

922
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,479
Speaker 1: at at all. I had a fucking great time last

923
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: decade watching the book that was the MCU, like Unfold

924
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: on Tell on the movie screen. So this isn't me

925
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: complaining about that. But as someone who's an actor, who's

926
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: an entertainer, who does movie like film and TV and

927
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: have loved this medium since I was a child, I

928
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: am loving the reemergence of the original summer blockbuster like

929
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: when we were kids, when like Independence Day was a blockbuster,

930
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: and like Men in Black basically Will Smith and then

931
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: he or like even like Liar Liar being a blockbuster

932
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: movie kind of like or Jaws. Like I'm loving that

933
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: life their own genre of Yeah, there's the Will Smith movie,

934
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: there's Jim Carrey movie, there's a Bruce Willis movie. Those

935
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: were their own genres. They were their own genres, and

936
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: and I'm love it. I love that Top Gun was

937
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: fucking like a big movie last year. Like I love

938
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: that Create three is a big movie right now. Like

939
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: I love that these non MCU movies are coming back

940
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: to the theaters and saying we are putting asses and

941
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: seats again. And it's a pretty it's a pretty dope

942
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: thing that I hope continues. So I'm excited before this

943
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: this year of movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does feel

944
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: like we've been like I've had this sense that, like

945
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: some some movies over the past couple of years have

946
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: done better than they would have otherwise because there was

947
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: just nothing else like coming out for four weeks like that.

948
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody was scared of Avatars, so they

949
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: just like didn't release that much after Avatar came out.

950
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: But it's it's not like Hollywood to leave money on

951
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: the table. But I guess, I guess, you know, film

952
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: productions are so you know, they take so long. You

953
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: have to be green lighting these things so far in

954
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: advance that I do feel like they've probably recognized that

955
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: and started ramping up production, but we're just we're just

956
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: now seeing it. I feel like there used to be

957
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: a box office battle that you actually didn't know who

958
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: was gonna win. Back in the day, you're like, oh, shoot,

959
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: these two movies. I mean a lot half the time

960
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: it was two similar movies coming out, and you're like, well,

961
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: why is this happening? Two movies about bugs? Do we

962
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: need this many movies about bugs? But yeah, it was

963
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: you never knew which one was gonna win, and it

964
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: was really exciting to watch. And now you just go knowing, Okay,

965
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna see this movie. No one's gonna see this movie,

966
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: and that sucks. I want more movies like that one,

967
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: but no one's seeing Yeah. Yeah, I think they should

968
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: release two movies about planet destroying asteroids every weekend. Hell yeah,

969
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: for in perpetuity. That's my Well, we're the two bug movies.

970
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: A Bug's Life, I mean, oh oh, oh, okay, got it,

971
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: aunt tu and ants and ants of course. But I

972
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: just I just read something because I'm so invested in

973
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: like those dual movies where they always have the same

974
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,919
Speaker 1: premise coming out within like a month of each other

975
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, and that one was truly out of spite.

976
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: I just found out that Bug's Life and Ants. It

977
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: was like a director from Disney went to make Ants

978
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: and was like, well, they're making a movie about bugs,

979
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: somebody get me a script, and then they made one. Right. Yeah,

980
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: it's like also Win No Strengths Attached and Friends with

981
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Defense came out. This is Zach, same fucking movie. Yeah,

982
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: they exist in my brain as the same movie, like

983
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: they are the same movie. Yeah, you could spice them together.

984
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I feel like you could. Just a lot of no

985
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: strings in those films, neither one one. All right, that's

986
