139
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480

140
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,680

142
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: you know what you know what to do. Go listen

143
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: to Crafton right now. In Allen's podcast, How was he?

144
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: He was great? Yeah, as usual. Yeah, It's it's very.

145
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: Difficult to describe Chris Crofton. We I've tried many times.

146
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: It's his experience.

147
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do Chris Crafton experience? How do you describe

148
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: a Crisp spring warning? You know, that's right, Yeah, it's

149
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: Chris crafted.

150
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Crafton is definitely the closest analogy I can

151
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: come up with as a Crisp springing for Crofton. I

152
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: was just gonna say, there's a free where I heard it.

153
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: But just like the anecdote that comedy albums like took

154
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: the world by storm and like that, at a certain point,

155
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: like in the sixties or seventies, somebody like had the

156
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: idea of, like what if we put stand up comedy

157
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: on records? And it was like this big fad too,

158
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: Just like people would have listening parties. People just like

159
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: come over and sit around and listen to a stand

160
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: up album on their record player. And that's like as

161
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: jealous as I've been of the past, you know, just

162
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: being like, no, that's all you need as an excuse

163
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: to have people hang out is just like, hey, I

164
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: got a new record, like.

165
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: Comedy CDs it in the nineties.

Speaker 2: all gonna laugh at you.

170
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: M That usually a formative experience, but like not nobody

171
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: was like, hey, guys, come on this Friday. Yeah, for

172
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I just got the new Richard Pryor.

173
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: You know, they used to call them party records, and

174
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: they would especially do it with like like that's how

175
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: Red Fox got really really like successful, was exactly. You

176
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 5: would put out these like incredibly and they were like

177
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 5: a lot of them were really really dirty. It was

178
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: also stuff that like back in the day you would

179
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 5: have actually gotten like arrested for what's the word decency

180
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 5: or whatever.

181
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so yeah, I forget what movie. I think

182
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: it might be, Oh, brother, where art they?

183
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: But there's a scene where like they go to a

184
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: family's house and they're just all sitting around listening to

185
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: a record and or listening to the radio and just

186
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: like staring into the middle distance.

187
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: It's like crazy for.

188
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: Me to think about that like being a thing that

189
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: people do, and yet no less crazy than like what

190
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: we do now, where we like sit around with each

191
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: other and look at our phones.

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, Yeah, our own little listening party.

193
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're thrilled to have you here. We're

194
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: going to get to know you a little bit better

195
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners

196
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: a couple of the things we're talking about. We are

197
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: recording this on Thursday, starting around noon, So as of

198
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: right now, no assassin has been arrested in the Charlie

199
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Kirk killing. We are going to just take a look

200
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: broadly at the difference between how the right has responded

201
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: to this versus how they responded to the killing of

202
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Melissa Hortman earlier this year, to what appeared to be

203
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: political assassinations. We'll talk about that, We'll talk about how

204
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: this is probably going to be one of our last

205
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: episodes because the Hollywood Reporter recently had a piece where

206
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: they talked to the one of the media executives behind

207
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: what's it called Inception AI.

208
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: Inception point to AI should learn the name of your

209
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: future master that you're leading with to keep your puny

210
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: podcast Human Life on the airwaves.

211
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: Just one quote from the announcement from the CEO. I'm

212
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: just gonna exert this one sentence, and this is a

213
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: full sentence. It might sound like I'm taking it out

214
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: of context. We believe that in the near future, half

215
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: of the people on the planet will be AI.

216
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: What the fuck? Wait?

217
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 4: What?

218
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

219
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, half half half of the people will

220
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: be AI.

221
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: Where are we at right now? With a lot a

222
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: billion people on the planet right now? Are AI? Yeah?

223
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: We it's around eight point okay, so we're gonna have

224
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: sixteen billion people in eight billion in the Yeah. Yeah,

225
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: that's a lot of mouths defeat.

226
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh man, So they're so horny for it in the

227
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: c suite the c suite has Has the C suite

228
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: ever been hornier for anything than they are horny for.

229
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: Maybe the dot com? It's like the dot com thing.

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: I think this is meta.

231
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 5: The metaverse thing, like that was a real website.

232
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: But I feel like that was just a little bit more. Yeah,

233
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: I feel like those were more unevenly distributed, and like

234
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: with the dot com boom, it was like these companies

235
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: that were like out there. They were like rising up

236
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: and like getting a lot of attention. But it wasn't

237
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: like the Fortune five hundred. Companies of the early nineties

238
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: were all like if you don't have like a maybe

239
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: it was I actually don't remember, I was fucking a child.

240
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: But like the way that like Apple just like took

241
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: a hit, their stock took a hit because they didn't

242
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: like incorporate.

243
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 2: AI and talking about AI idiot. Anyways, we'll talk about that.

244
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the new Kamala Harris book book is coming, where.

245
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: I think everyone's like, ooh, we're gonna.

246
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: Get some tea, and it sounds like there's like some

247
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: good shit in there. I don't know, it's.

248
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: Kind of just shit that it's like nothing surprising. She's like, yeah,

249
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: they all fucking worship Joe Biden and Jill Biden there

250
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: and whatever, and you're like, okay, but you know it's

251
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: interesting today though, because The Atlantic put out like an

252
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: excerpt from the book that everyone's reporting on. Now we're

253
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: getting quotes from like anonymous Biden people who are fucking

254
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: clapping back. Oh really, I'll read some of those, yeah,

255
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: some responses from them.

256
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: This is, by the way, a genre of book that,

257
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: according to the people at audiobooks dot com, is like

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: the least finished type of book, which is like audiobooks

259
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: by presidential candidates. People buy them and they do not

260
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: finish them. All of that plenty more. But first, Alan,

261
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests, what is something

262
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

263
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 5: Okay, so, just recently there's been a bunch of pre

264
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: sales for Tame and Paula shows coming up.

265
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: Oh so, and I.

266
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 5: Got kind of screwed, and I've got screwed before. These

267
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 5: are Ticketmaster, of course, and I so my last thing

268
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 5: that I searched was and the first word of it's

269
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 5: very alarming Reddit. I searched Reddit refresh, ticketmaster or wait,

270
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: that's the full thing that I searched. Because Reddit, for

271
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 5: all of it's many many many many many many many

272
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: many many flaws, it actually is like a place where

273
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 5: you can find stuff out every once.

274
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: Human advice too, like.

275
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 5: Someone who with someone who is exactly dealing with or

276
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: dealt with exactly what you're talking about, and they get

277
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: they get like, it gave me the answer. It told

278
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: me exactly how to do it, because a lot of

279
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 5: times you like, I'll like wait and it says, oh, no, refresh,

280
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: but then like it doesn't actually put you in the queue.

281
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 5: So even though you were there tim and before, now

282
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 5: you're in the back of the line and blah blah blah.

283
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 5: So it's like, I figure out how to do it,

284
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 5: and it did work. What you're supposed to do is

285
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: you get in like fifteen minutes before and just keep refreshing,

286
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 5: even if it's before the sale goes and eventually you'll

287
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: get a Q code, and once you have a Q code,

288
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 5: then you're good.

289
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: So were you able to get tickets?

290
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: Yes? I did, Yeah, I was able to get I

291
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: got one other show in the forum, and uh, it

292
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 5: just so happens that I'm going to be in New

293
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 5: York City at the end of October when they're doing

294
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 5: shows there, and I got a ticket to that.

295
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: One as well. Oh okay, yeah, okay.

296
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 5: I'm a big I'm a big I guess we want

297
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 5: to talk about personality. I'm a I'm a big cee

298
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: cee bands. I like multiple times I didn't get to

299
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: see Tom Petty that one show before he died, and

300
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: it's like haunting me. Yeah, it's me. I had like

301
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: Tom Petty's Florida, like I really and and like it

302
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: was the type of thing where it's like I think

303
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 5: I might have turned down two people that asked me

304
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 5: to go to it, and so it's just like that's

305
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 5: really really obviously haunted me. So like I saw Vampire

306
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 5: Weekend eight times last year and and it's really good.

307
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: Oh man, so good. I'm gonna see it again, I

308
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 5: think too. But uh but yeah, anyway, so that that's

309
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: the all insight.

310
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 6: No.

311
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: I do like Reddit because there's even stuff where, like

312
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: I remember when I was trying to buy a refrigerator

313
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: like a while back there there would you get these

314
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: things where people are like, let me tell you, I'm

315
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: like an appliance repair person, and like this one brand,

316
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: I rarely see warranty complaints on it, Like that's like

317
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: the legit fucking information. I'm looking for someone who repairs

318
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: it goal but I never have to fix these ones,

319
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: right like there it is, thank you, thank you hard

320
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: working appliance repair person.

321
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: All Reddit, I it is interesting like that Reddit is

322
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: the like all the all Reddit is is like a

323
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: shadow version of the regular Internet without sponsored bullshit like

324
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: slipped in, so like you know, like what when you're searching,

325
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: it's just that's what the Internet used to be. Is

326
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: just like a place where the posts are not sponsored

327
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: by companies trying to just get your money. So it's

328
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: just like what if the Internet wasn't like completely and

329
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: irrevocably broken by capitalism. It's like, well, I feel like

330
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: and that's why you read it has its flaws, but

331
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: you have to tag read it at the end, like

332
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: because if you search best refrigerator straight up, yeah exactly exactly, Yeah.

333
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: What is something you think is underrated?

334
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: Underrated? Okay, this is really dumb, But for years and

335
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 5: years and years I have been driving around without a

336
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 5: phone holder in my car. Uh huh, And I just

337
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 5: got I just got one. And we're not talking about

338
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 5: these things enough.

339
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

340
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: Decades, Oh my god, Like literally, I want to say

341
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 5: the last time I had one was probably six ish,

342
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: more more than five years ago, maybe even significantly more so.

343
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 5: It really is the type of thing where I'm like, wow,

344
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 5: I I literally have the fun that the other day

345
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 5: driver is like my phone's right.

346
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: There, just right there. It's just.

347
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 5: Oh my god. So anyway, I think those little pieces

348
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 5: of plastic are pretty underrated.

349
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: Prior to that, you were just driving around with it

350
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: in front of your face, withuting it up in front

351
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: of your face.

352
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 2: An exact same spot where the holder would be.

353
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I had a couple of phones. I have

354
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 5: the Android item all. I had like a real Goldberg machine,

355
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 5: et pro dash cam, all of it. Yeah, but now

356
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 5: I just have the one holder. Yeah.

357
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, always a boxing glove and a uh that's connected

358
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: to a wheel somehow.

359
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, like on a plunger. Yeah, and I'm that like

360
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: spins for it and kicks something.

361
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 5: Usually I'm usually driving down Banana Peel Lane.

362
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: And is it a phone holder that connects into the

363
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: air conditioning vent?

364
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: Yes, but it is also one that has enough space

365
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: so that it it's like I can still feel the

366
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: air from that vent.

367
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. Sounds like you got a good one out. Yeah,

368
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: I gotta search Reddit.

369
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: Do you search readit to figure out what's going to get?

370
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: No, that one, I just took that one. I just

371
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 5: took a stab in the dard because I think what

372
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 5: I think, what what happened. Was the phone feul or something.

373
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 5: I was like, let me just get one of these

374
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 5: fucking things right now.

375
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: I think you were doing the search on a broken

376
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: phone from the falling.

377
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 5: All right? This is going to be really controversial. And

397
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 5: I know that everything's been really calm and hunky dory recently,

398
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 5: but I'm gonna stir the pot the Arc Light. I'm

399
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 5: gonna say that the Arc Light is overrated. I'm tired

400
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 5: of hearing about it. It's over Did you.

401
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: Not get our coming back? Did you the email or

402
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: we said that you couldn't talk about we just stop

403
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: the recording stuff.

404
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: We can't. We can't do.

405
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: This now, Like, what are you trying to get our

406
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: show taken off air?

407
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 5: So funny, it's so funny just because I like, I

408
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 5: love the Arc Light because of the innovation of reserving

409
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 5: your seats, but then once that became like another that

410
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 5: became pretty much the normal. I'm like, the way people

411
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 5: talk about the Arc Light is like their dad went

412
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 5: out for a pack of smokes and never came back.

413
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 5: Like it's just like it's so so too much. And

414
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 5: also it's just like I think it's just it's just

415
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 5: one of those things are absence makes the heart grow

416
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 5: fonder because it's like when you're really in that that

417
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 5: specific part of Hollywood too, it's just like we're we're

418
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 5: yon Days Heydays.

419
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: I mean, we're where where is an arc light anymore?

420
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: Oh they're gone, They're gone, They're out of business. Yeah,

421
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: this is just Yeah, I feel like, isn't there there's

422
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: not even one life somewhere because I know, like the

423
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: Sherman Oaks one's gone. Obviously, Hollywood's gone.

424
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: Now I think the whole company went out of business

425
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: during the pandemic.

426
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: And it's some weird thing too, us like an American

427
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: movie theater chain.

428
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, like why did they like is it? It's like

429
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 5: is it whoever owns the property? Is it like a

430
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 5: least thing or what?

431
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, now you're gonna get me in trouble

432
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: because now this is where I start talking about the plandemic.

433
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah now yeah, why how come we don't have the

434
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 2: Cineramlen Dome anymore? Huh? That's right where the real truths

435
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: are being transmitted to us.

436
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: It's funny because I totally agree that it's like we're

437
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: remembering it here, like we're remembering a version of it

438
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: at a time when it was like doing some innovative

439
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: things that nobody else was doing, and now all those

440
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: things have been like co opted by AMC And like

441
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: that's that does suck. It sucks that were like, AMC

442
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: did it? You can get a fuck off, but it is.

443
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just don't get what I like. My thing is,

444
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 5: I'm just like, why didn't Why didn't any like really

445
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 5: rich person just step in and like do like kind

446
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 5: of the same way Quentin Tarantino like yeah it did

447
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 5: with like the vista or whatever. And also it's like

448
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 5: but but but my the and the reason why I

449
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 5: brought up is because just I still hear people talking

450
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 5: about it. I'm still always hearing people talk about it.

451
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: So I'm just like, maybe it's maybe it's like true love.

452
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 5: Maybe it's like when we finally all collectively like let

453
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 5: it go, then it.

454
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: Will come back.

455
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

456
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Okay. I like that.

457
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: I like that theory that like, once you work on yourself.

458
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: So this is it's not saying that the arc Light

459
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: is not a worthy, you know, subject of our adoration.

460
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: It's just that we need to work on ourselves.

461
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked.

462
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: The mirror.

463
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,

464
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: and we're back.

465
00:23:59,359 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: We're bad.

466
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: So we're in the aftermath. You know, this is coming

467
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: out a day and a half after you know, Charlie

468
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: Kirk was murdered. We're recording it less than twenty four

469
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: hours after Donald Trump is already like waged war on

470
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: anybody who is critical of right of any in his ideology.

471
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, just we just wanted to like compare how

472
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: this assassination the whole Like this is something we talked

473
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: about on yesterday's trending, but like a really like very horrifying,

474
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: Like I don't think like the combination of everybody seeing it,

475
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: like the number of places that it was being shown

476
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: to people, like including the New York Times, the fact

477
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: that it's like a person that I guess he's not

478
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: like a household name, but he's like well like people

479
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: knew who he was, or at least a lot of

480
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: people had seen him. And then just like how fucking

481
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: gory and awful it was. It was like a really

482
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: traumatic thing. And you know, I think it's a potent

483
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: material that the Right is working with, and I think

484
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: they know that and are like digging in as much

485
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: as possible.

486
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: Oh completely, yeah.

487
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: But it's not just like the Right. It does feel

488
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: like the New York Yankees held a moment of silence

489
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: for Charlie Kirk.

490
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 5: He was a media guy, Like that's the other thing,

491
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: he was just like a media guy.

492
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, and like one that had some pretty horrific

493
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: white supremacist views. So like the fact that like a

494
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: mainstream institution like the New York Yankees is holding a

495
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: moment of silence when again, like comparing this to Representative

496
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Melissa Hortman, who was a politician in Minnesota who was assassinated.

497
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: She and her husband and their dog were assassinated in

498
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: their home by a Trump supporter earlier this year, and

499
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees did not hold a moment of silence for them.

500
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: The Yankees statement that they issued on social media couldn't

501
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: be bothered to mention the school shooting that happened in Colorado,

502
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: like right at the same time. And yeah, it's just

503
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: it is a fallacy, logical fallacy that the right in

504
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: the United States really likes to play on, which is

505
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: just selection bias and you know, orally showing and like

506
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: focusing on crimes and really visceral things that are going

507
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: to support their political point of view, and you know,

508
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: they just pick and choose which victims of political violence

509
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: they recognize.

510
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 5: One thing real quick that I just sort of was thinking,

511
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 5: is that step with the Yankees thing it's like that

512
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 5: came from the owner, like right like that, like they a.

513
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball thing. Someone at the Yankees like, we

514
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 2: got to do this.

515
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 5: That's a guy that probably like at some function or whatever,

516
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 5: met Charlie Kirk, and I was like, he's a nice guy,

517
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 5: he's a family man. We have to do this. I

518
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: just kind of like because it is weird. It's like,

519
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 5: why would baseball team comment on this in general?

520
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: Like what I think it indicates again, and I was

521
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: saying this on the trending episode yesterday, is just how

522
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: much like the now default sort of perspective people have

523
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: is that of a conservative or through conservative.

524
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: Media institutionally that is certainly the case. Yeah, that's that's

525
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: just where that's the default now. And I think you know,

526
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: like even what the Yankees posted it said quote before

527
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: tonight's game, we had a moment of silence and more

528
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk. Kirk founded the youth activist group Turning

529
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: Point USA and become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk,

530
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: a husband and father of two, was thirty one years old.

531
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: You're like leaving out all of the details. That's the

532
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: way supremacist group. Yeah, and what and exactly like that. Rhetorically,

533
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: they're fanning the flames of these of this completely out

534
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: of control fucking era we're in, especially with right right

535
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: wing extremism and the normalization of like white like white nationalism.

536
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: But again, I think that's because that's that's currently the

537
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: default of American culture. Culture is to be like, well,

538
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: we don't say things like that. We just look past that,

539
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: and we're just going to say that this is a

540
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: person and that's what it is. And yeah, I think

541
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: that's really The thing that was really that struck me

542
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: was to see the number of like pieces that were

543
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: written that were like leaving out all like just completely

544
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: obfuscating like what his legacy is in terms of a

545
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: media personality or if you want.

546
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: To, Yeah, that'sially ephemistic, right.

547
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 5: Or left or whatever. I mean, especially after something like

548
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 5: especially and incredibly, I mean I saw the video gruesome,

549
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 5: like very real, very real, very traumatic. There is just

550
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 5: such a strong inclination to live in the fantasy world

551
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 5: and to not deal with the reality of what is

552
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 5: actually going on. So it's like this is a like

553
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 5: opportunity for a lot of people to harken back to

554
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 5: like a time that people are talking about free speech

555
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 5: and stuff like that in this and it's like literally

556
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 5: what a month and a half ago, cops are like

557
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 5: busting heads on college campuses because students deign to say

558
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 5: we shouldn't give money to Israel. Like, you know, it's

559
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 5: just like the totally totally, it's just an opportunity. And

560
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 5: as we're seeing, you know, I'm sure we'll dig into this,

561
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: but like I just the thing that really got under

562
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 5: my skin was Nancy Mace just like reacting so and yes,

563
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 5: I understand it's raw, and I'm not denying anyone of

564
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 5: their emotional response to what happened and what they're seeing,

565
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 5: especially if they knew this guy. But they're immediately laying

566
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 5: it at They're literally saying, this is the Democrat's fault. Yeah,

567
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 5: they don't they don't know who it is. I think

568
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 5: they've I think they've used a picture of the personnel

569
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 5: that they have no lead, they have no idea who

570
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: it is or why they did it, and they're there.

571
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, this is what they want. They want

572
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 5: this moment and they want to foment it, and they

573
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 5: want it's probably easier for them if the Americans just

574
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 5: start attacking each other than if they have to do

575
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 5: any crowd control stuff or anything like that.

576
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, or well, I think this is an excuse to

577
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: do the crowd control stuff that they want to do,

578
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: which will.

579
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: Allow them to not have definite Yeah.

580
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, But just to reiterate this comparison that I think

581
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people are making. A US lawmaker, you know,

582
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: a Melissa Hortman, a politician, was assassinated three months ago

583
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: flags were not flown at half masted across the country.

584
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Trump has ordered that all flags across the country be

585
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: flown at half masted until fourteenth. Yeah, and his social

586
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: media response to the Hortman assassen back in June didn't

587
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: even mention her name, of course, didn't take any responsibility

588
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: with you know, the person who committed that murder, being

589
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter, refused to give Tim Walls a phone

590
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: call and skipped her funeral and went golfing with Lindsay Graham. Insteedge,

591
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: So it it is just like you know, the most

592
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: it's blatantly politicized. Anything he's saying about like political violence

593
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: being out of hand is only being observed about one

594
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: type of political violence.

595
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

596
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm also just it's again the amount of

597
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: attention being paid to this by people who are like

598
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: diametrically opposed on the political spectrum.

599
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: To Kirk, it's like very odd to me. I'm like,

600
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know, maybe you just give it

601
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: the same amount of attention that the Republicans give to

602
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: a slain Democratic lawmaker, right Like there is this sort

603
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: of like having to prove that they're like there's like

604
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: a moral high ground. But I mean, like, you know,

605
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: say whatever you need to say. But to again, like

606
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: to see people like write these pieces in the New

607
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: York Times that were like I had a lot in

608
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: common with him, like you did in what way? And

609
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: then also be like he was a free speech advocate,

610
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: Like can you define free speech advocate? Like is that

611
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: to does that mean they fight for everyone's right to

612
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: free speech?

613
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 5: Or it was such a big it was such a

614
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 5: big for part of the abundance agenda, right.

615
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: Right, Like what what what is going on? But again,

616
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: I think that's what's I think that's what's really surreal

617
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: again is to see how the culture is completely reset

618
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: and be like, well, this is the default way to

619
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: speak about this. Don't mention anything that like try and

620
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: absolve this person of everything they've said and every like

621
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: horrible thing they've said about non cisheit white people.

622
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 5: Well, and that's also where we see the like, yeah,

623
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 5: journals and political pundits and other people with podcasts aren't

624
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 5: going to take attack because in this moment, like podcaster

625
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 5: is like the ultimate like thing. It's not it's not

626
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 5: the political thing right now. It's like it's the fact

627
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 5: that this could happen to someone that isn't political, isn'tellected,

628
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 5: isn't a public official, but you know, has the ears

629
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 5: of all these many people is a huge platform. It's

630
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 5: just it's it's just a it's a very hard realization

631
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 5: of how muddied everything has become and how obviously there's

632
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 5: somebody that we already knew it, but we're just seeing

633
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 5: it in real time. Just how the institutions are basically worthless.

634
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 5: I mean literally, like the FBI can't catch the guy

635
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 5: because there's this fuck an idiot that's in charge of

636
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 5: it right now, and like yeah, I mean just.

637
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: That that was like live tweeting.

638
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: The thing was like we got someone, Okay, it wasn't him,

639
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: we got some line.

640
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't like what.

641
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: The fuck man, It's like, why are you playing the

642
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: crab rave music? After that, we got up and we

643
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: got him. Actually we don't, we don't. I mean, just

644
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: another like kind of institutional thing, is that South Park

645
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: episode was taken down really in the aftermath. Yeah, it

646
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: was taken off of Comedy Central. I think it's still

647
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: available on Paramount Plus.

648
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 5: But what was there when about this?

649
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: Charlie Cartman played a Charlie Kirk type character with Charlie

650
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Kirk hare. Oh yeah, I mean it was a thing that, like,

651
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: you know, Charlie Kirk said he thought was hilarious. Yeah,

652
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: I usually think this is hilarious. But the way that

653
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: people on the right responded to that was somebody said

654
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: on X they mocked him on TV, then they killed

655
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: him in real life, comedy has consequences. A turning point

656
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: USA staffer posted on telegram.

657
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 2: The thing is like they get browbeaten like over this

658
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: when this it just obviously you have the intentionally hypocritical

659
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: people on the right who are like, right, please tell

660
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: me about jokes again and what leads to real life

661
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: outcomes and what doesn't. But I think that's what just

662
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: kind of surreal too, is you just see all of

663
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: this like someone who you hear their words and like

664
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 2: this is actually this is terrifying to hear someone express

665
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: these kinds of viewpoints to an audience of millions that

666
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 2: is meant to essentially make people like me or who

667
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: look like me like just subhuman and free to just

668
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 2: to to slander the good name of innocent people just

669
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 2: because they're transgender or whatever. I don't know. I mean,

670
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm I'm always like wrestling with how America just kind

671
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: of like rears its ugly head. But to have like

672
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 2: just kind of like to see it almost feel like

673
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: the tone of the media be like you have to

674
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: grieve this person right now. Yeah, It's a little crazy.

675
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 2: It's just it feels like I'm like, what the fuck, man,

676
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm the ship that he was talking about is absolutely

677
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: terrifying to me, and I'm now expected to like feel

678
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: a completely different way about a person who says words

679
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: that are, for lack of a better word, presenting an

680
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: existential threat to people like me.

681
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, he had he had a family, right, Yeah, And

682
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 7: I get that, and you know, and that's the thing

683
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 7: I one hundred like, especially becoming a parent myself, I

684
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 7: don't wish an untimely death on anyone, especially like what

685
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 7: because I think about too, I think about the position

686
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 7: I'm in and if I left sooner than I would hope,

687
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 7: and thinking of my own children, that's fucking terrible.

688
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: But I think you can that can be true. And

689
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: you can also report on the fact that everything this

690
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 2: guy stood for was really like antithetical to like what

691
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 2: a decent America would look like, and this.

692
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Is being used to kind of more deeply ingrain those

693
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: values into the mainstream of right.

694
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 5: No, no, no attempt to. That's one thing too that

695
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 5: I just always go to. It's like, look at what

696
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 5: the president is saying. The president is not saying any

697
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 5: sense of unity or coming together or anything like that.

698
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: Let's get it.

699
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 5: It's true, let's get them, Let's make it worse. And

700
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 5: it's just like, all right, well, I guess that's America. Yeah, Okay,

701
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 5: two hundred odd years later, three hundred years later, whatever

702
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 5: half the country hates the other half of the country,

703
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: all right, I guess I guess the experiment worked.

704
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of

705
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: the fourth of July be real interesting. Next year they

706
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: look back, Wow, what a time it's been.

707
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: Senator Mike Lee issued a tribute to American patriot Charlie

708
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: Kirk on social media. This is the same person that,

709
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: after the Hortman assassination, claimed the killer was a Marxist

710
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: and posted a photo of the killer with the caption

711
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: nightmare on Waltz Street.

712
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

713
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so yeah it's and then yeah, it took

714
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: a while for people to be like, what the fuck

715
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: are you posting?

716
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 2: Man, He's like, ah, sorry, all right, right, I'll take

717
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: it down. I'll take it.

718
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, mikely is Utah, right.

719
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, likely is also Utah.

720
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 5: It's that's the crazy, the crazy. The fact that it

721
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 5: was in Utah is really dies. Yeah, like one of

722
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 5: the most conservative, homogeneous judge that that is very I

723
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 5: didn't have that on my bingo card.

724
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: Oh man, there it is.

725
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: He said it, all right. And that was my main

726
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: response to this was it was so random. It was

727
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: so random.

728
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: This year is like the most random year. I feel like,

729
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 2: oh my god, this year is so random, so fucking random.

730
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 2: Right now, Oh my god, did you.

731
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: Say ice ice rates are crinn and they're like so random,

732
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: random random?

733
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 2: You guys, you know there's a podcast talking like that too, right,

734
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 2: now so random right now, it's probably hosted by all

735
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 2: thirteen year olds, and it's fucking awesome. It does.

736
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 4: So good, like that food podcast, This thirteen year old

737
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 4: that's so good, dude, Like, I don't know, what do

738
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: you think of Pepperoni pizza?

739
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I think Pepperoni is a little sus.

740
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, it feels I mean, they've set this tenor

741
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: for a long time, so it just I think in

742
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: some ways it's easy to dismiss as like that, that's

743
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: just like the right wing, fuck your feelings and sensitivity

744
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: around the killing of a democratic politician. But this, you know,

745
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: it's they're very specific and like an event like this

746
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: and their immediate politicist politicization of it makes it clear

747
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: that there is a larger strategy that you know, this

748
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: is allowing them to sell this bullshit narrative that the

749
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: left is solely responsible for political violence in America as

750
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: opposed to like rarely responsible for the political violence in America.

751
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just iron to coming from Republicans being like,

752
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: you know, you should you should really respect this person

753
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 2: and things need to be done in the aftermath of this.

754
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: When how many times do little children with children shot

755
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: to death and people like, can you pass a fucking

756
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 2: law or something like is that? And again they're just

757
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: plugging their ears and just you know, whistling past the

758
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 2: graveyard like nothing's going on. And I think that's just

759
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: again like all of these ironies kind of really come

760
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: together to sort of like just present itself as like

761
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: one big mind fucking an event like this and be like, oh,

762
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: and now they're going to use this to make shit

763
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: worse for people. Probably.

764
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: I just think about the Oklahoma City bombing and like

765
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: the fact that that was like a right wing terrorist

766
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: and like right never take kills like so many children,

767
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: like it blew up like a fucking preschool, and that's

768
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: not like when you think about that event, it's not

769
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: like and that was when we realized right wing terrorism

770
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: was a problem, and like it was just you know,

771
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: a detail of that.

772
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: Not even I mean, I mean I that was ninety four, right, yeah,

773
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: And I just remember I was ten years old and

774
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: not that I was like an I watched the news

775
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: because I was you know, like on TV, and I

776
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 2: just would watch TV. But I remember like all of

777
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: that was flattened into and then this guy Timothy McVeigh

778
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: did it lone wolf there pot, yeah, boom and that's it.

779
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: And then it wasn't until I was in college it

780
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: was like, wait, oh god, this.

781
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: Is part of this massive right wing movement, right, yeah.

782
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break.

783
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: We'll come back and talk about why this is probably

784
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: one of our last episodes.

785
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back. I mean, there's

786
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: so many reasons this might be one of our last.

787
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: Gentlemen, it's been a privilege and an honor podcasting with

788
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: you this evening.

789
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, now get out our violins.

790
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just play like shit because I don't know

791
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: how to play the violin. That would be amazing if

792
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: like one of the people was just like, sorry, I'm

793
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: freaking out a little bit.

794
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 2: Sorry.

795
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: Also I'm not very good, dude, know this. The fucking

796
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: ship is really listing? Oh man, are we still gonna play?

797
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: My hands are so fucking sweaty right now? How are

798
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: you guys playing?

799
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 5: Does? They won't have an ox chord?

800
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd be much easier if I can just play something,

801
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: some kind some chamber of music. But yeah, I only

802
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: say that and maybe flippantly, maybe sincerely, because AI, I mean,

803
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: it sounds like they're gearing up to take over the

804
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 2: podcasting world because the Hollywood Reporter recently had a piece

805
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 2: where they spoke with the people behind Inception AI and

806
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: they make just a fuck ton of AI podcasts. I'll

807
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: get to the numbers in a second. And they try

808
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: to frame this article like in the beginning, like, god,

809
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: are people aren't like networks tired of paying like humans

810
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: to talking.

811
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: Or like pank celebrity like these crazy deals. I do

812
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: get what's the most appointing? What's the most annoying part

813
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: of podcasts? Having?

814
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: That's the worst fucking part? Am I right, ladies? This

815
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: year is so random. But anyway, The CEO of this

816
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 2: AI company is a former exec from Wondery, another podcast network,

817
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: and the Jack alluded to her like Facebook post that

818
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 2: she put it out to like announce this thing. Hey,

819
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: this is the full part. I'm thrilled to emerge from

820
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 2: stealth and share the public debut of Inception Point AI,

821
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 2: the company I joined as co founder and CEO this summer.

822
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, just to what an opening sorry merge from still

823
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 6: to emerge from stealth and share this like is such

824
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 6: a great way to open any work of social media.

825
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can join as a co founder.

826
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: I think it's it's because someone with a fuck ton

827
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: of money goes, Hey, we'd love for you to be

828
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: the face of this thing, to give this some credibility.

829
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: Be co founder, we'll make CEO. Yeah, because also, like

830
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 2: I guess, I guess I haven't heard that phrase emerge

831
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: from Stealth before, but O goddamn little little wonky.

832
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: Use of that word drilled to take off my ghost

833
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: protocol hood and reveal that I'm that I've joined.

834
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: An AI podcast company. Goes on as Jack said, we

835
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 2: believe that in the near future, half of the people

836
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 2: on the planet will be AI. That's when my eyes

837
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: rolled into the back of my head and I go,

838
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: we're cooked that you if there are people sip in

839
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: the AI kool aid, this hard, I mean, fucking yikes.

840
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: She goes on to say, we're bringing these people to life,

841
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: and we're bringing the next generation content business model, all

842
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: powered by AI. In the process, we built what we

843
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: believe to be the first AI talent management agency with

844
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: an extensive roster of fake ass people we created with algorithms.

845
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 5: And that's been a thing, that's been a thing already too.

846
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, we've we've had these voices, these voice models

847
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 1: being created.

848
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 2: And things like that. But now they're really trying to

849
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: like brand each one and be like and they do

850
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff. So their whole model is essentially

851
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 2: to flood the zone with shit podcasts. But because their

852
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: overhead is solo, they can make a profit on a

853
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 2: laughably small number of listens. This is from the higher

854
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: report quote. The company is able to produce each episode

855
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 2: for one dollar or less, depending on length and complexity,

856
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 2: and attach programmatic advertising to it. This generally means that

857
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: if about twenty people listen to that episode, the company

858
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 2: made a profit on that episode without factoring in overhead inception.

859
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 2: Point Air has already made more than five thousand shows

860
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: across its network and produces more than three thousand episodes

861
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: a week.

862
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: Wow and yeah, been up for like a couple of years,

863
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: which does again beg the question of joining as a

864
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: co founder two years in.

865
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 2: It's good negotiating tactic. Really, I'm going to see.

866
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: This being just like like a non starter because I

867
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: do think that the thing people look for from podcasts

868
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: is humanity. It's like a thing that like they they're

869
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: not just necessarily looking for like some quick way to

870
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: get voice facts shoveled into their brain. I think a

871
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 1: lot of the time the you could read an article

872
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: if you wanted that, or like have an article read

873
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: to you.

874
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: But I could also.

875
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: See this kind of ruining things because they're going to

876
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 1: be flooding the zone with so much shit.

877
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 5: That's yeah, yeah, that's the Amazon thing.

878
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah right, it's just going to be so many bad

879
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: podcasts indistinguishable from our bad podcast but completely you know,

880
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: flooding everything. There will be like five different podcasts. The

881
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: good news is, like, this is not how people like.

882
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: People don't find podcasts by being like, all right, I'm

883
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: going to go to uh that podcast and search for

884
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 1: a topic that I think I want to know about,

885
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: and then you know, people find out about podcasts, and

886
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: then because followers, some do.

887
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: Apparent according to them, apparently because their whole thing set

888
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 2: up is cool. Podcast topics are selected with the help

889
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: of AI based on Google and social media trends, and

890
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: then the team may launch five different versions of the

891
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: show with different titles to see what performs the best.

892
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 2: The podcasts are often titled after simple SEO search terms,

893
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: such as Wales Wales.

894
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,400

00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 8: Let's see, which simply means I never forget a vote,

915
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:48,080

916
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 8: pack money, just pure relentless recall. Tonight, we're tackling one

917
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 8: of the most misunderstood, maligned, and frankly butchered concepts in

918
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 8: American political discourse socialism.

919
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 5: But you here's my question. Though you can like and

920
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 5: maybe it will get better to what you really can't,

921
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 5: but you can tell that that is AI.

922
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 7: Yeah.

923
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well they're also they're trying to they're sort

924
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 2: of like trying to be at quote unquote ethical where

925
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 2: they have the hosts up top say their AI yeah,

926
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: and one of the founders is like, look, dude, I'm

927
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: not trying to have like create like these models that

928
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: people are gonna have like deep relationships with because like

929
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 2: this they see it as a completely different lane than

930
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 2: human hosted podcasts. But like when you look at it,

931
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 2: you're like, you're doing you're you're talking about subjects that

932
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 2: humans currently make podcasts about. So I don't know how

933
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: you You're like, well, no, it's not meant to replace

934
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 2: that at all. Like it's just we're just doing the

935
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 2: same thing. They are out of insane scale and maybe

936
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: people will fucking listen to it, Like you know, they're

937
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 2: they have the hosts. The names are really fucking dumb,

938
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 2: Like for the food podcast.

939
00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. I think these

940
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: names are totally normal.

941
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 2: Okay, what name the host of the food podcast Jack?

942
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: All right?

943
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: The food podcast is named uh oh, I actually love her.

944
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: I actually follow her on lots of different Claire Delish

945
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: and then of course my favorite source for gardening info

946
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 1: my health mm hmm, Nigel thistle Down.

947
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 2: Yes, and the fucking like the the AI models are

948
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 2: like it sounds like the same ones you hear on

949
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 2: TikTok basically when people use AI to caption shit.

950
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: But again, I believe it's the nominative determinism.

951
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like one of the finance one was like

952
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,959
Speaker 2: Penny power or something like that, quite dumb, goofy shit.

953
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 2: But again, I mean I don't know, like they will

954
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: it replace it? I don't know, but I think, like

955
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 2: to your point, Alan, like it's bad when you have

956
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 2: someone putting out three thousand episodes a week of indistinguishable bullshit,

957
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 2: because that just makes it harder for anyone who actually

958
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 2: wants to podcast to be to have to like there's

959
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 2: now it's just all noise and now yeah, that's like

960
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 2: that's like a.

961
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,959
Speaker 5: Big part of Amazon's things. Like it's not that they

962
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 5: just are undercutting and they sell the product cheaper. It's

963
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 5: that they've also like they've taken away a viable way

964
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 5: for people to make money, like opening a small business

965
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 5: to like sell goods is a bad business idea now

966
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 5: because of Amazon. And so that yeah, that definitely and

967
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 5: and I mean, I will say this, podcasters are truly

968
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 5: some of the sickest people, and they in the in

969
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 5: the sphere of the internet or whatever. So they're still

970
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 5: going they're still gonna like go after it. But I

971
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 5: and it is the type of thing where you do

972
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 5: just think like, well, wait, but what if there are

973
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 5: people that aren't just that discerning and they're like, oh,

974
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 5: I'm listening to this, you know, AI podcast and they

975
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,439
Speaker 5: don't really they don't care one way or the other.

976
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: Right, they were about to on the socialism one. I

977
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: could hear the host leading into it, so pour yourself

978
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: a glass of your favorite bourbon or something like that,

979
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh, that is like there's

980
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: a certain type of like medium tier podcast that like

981
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: I've accidentally listened to where that's like the human element

982
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: is like, so pour yourself a favorite glass of bourbon.

983
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: I've got mine right here, right, and we're gonna dig in,

984
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: you know. So maybe, yeah, maybe this is gonna hit

985
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: hit with the people who like listen to whatever those

986
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: shows are.

987
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 2: We gotta hit, we gotta hit. I mean, it's funny.

988
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 2: The co founder of it, who I imagine is the

989
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 2: actual founder of it or the person who started he

990
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 2: got into this because in during the pandemic, he just

991
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 2: started like reading like weather reports and shit or no,

992
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 2: he was reading daily CDC reports and then and then

993
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of people started reloading it. Yeah, just because

994
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 2: he was just just reading off a cdcerport and he's like,

995
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 2: okay now, and then he did like weather for robots

996
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: this yeah, and he's like, whoa weather report? And then

997
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 2: he was like there's a quote from him. He's like,

998
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 2: you know, talking about how people who are really like

999
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: if you have crazy allergies, you look like the Pollen

1000
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: Report and stuff. He said, quote, we might make a

1001
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 2: pollen podcast and maybe only fifty people listen to, but

1002
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm already a unit profitability on that, so then maybe

1003
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 2: I can make five hundred pollen report podcasts like these

1004
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,479
Speaker 2: people don't. This is what happens when people have never

1005
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 2: made a fucking thing in their life.

1006
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: Why have we never once on this? On the many

1007
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: many hours of the show used the phrase unit profit

1008
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: the fu does that even the cool and soulful term?

1009
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,439
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, that that.

1010
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 1: Founder and you know he is the actual founder because

1011
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: his name is Pod Founderman.

1012
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 2: So yeah, oh.

1013
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 7: The Cincinnati Founderman's Yeah, the Cincinnati Founderman form of formerly

1014
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 7: of Louisville, Kentucky.

1015
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: All right, Uh so that sucks, but we there is

1016
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: some light at the end of the tunnel because Kamala

1017
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: Harris has announced her memoir. Yeah, it's coming. It's uh,

1018
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: I guess she hasn't announced it. She announced it a

1019
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: long time ago. It's coming. It's called one hundred and

1020
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: seven Days. So it's like about the one hundred and

1021
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: seven days that she ran for president. Do you guys

1022
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: remember that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. We all

1023
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 1: realized like Biden was bad and then he we finally

1024
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: like everybody just pressured him enough into leaving the race.

1025
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: And then she had one hundred and seven days to

1026
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: run for president and like started with a spark and

1027
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: had like a couple of good ideas and then those

1028
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: were immediately like that like replaced by terrible shit by

1029
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and had a chance their advisors. Yeah,

1030
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: she like had ideas about like greedflation and calling the

1031
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: Democratic or the Republican party weird. And they're like no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1032
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: shut the Why don't you shut the fuck up?

1033
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I wonder here, kiss kiss Dick Cheney's daughter

1034
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 2: right now, Kiss her on stage. That's gonna work.

1035
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, she's she's doing some book tours, not at bookstores,

1036
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: but on a live speaking to her major venues. Some

1037
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: tickets going for more than four hundred dollars, not from

1038
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: like a reseller. That's the official price for a platinum ticket.

1039
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 2: What a fucking cariff. Man, that's amazing. Just like, man,

1040
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 2: that was a that was a shitty presidential campaign. Huh.

1041
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 2: You want to hear me talk about it for four

1042
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: hundred bucks? Yeah? Yeah, I do, I do, I do,

1043
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 2: I do. The experts are pretty telling, i'd say, presumably like.

1044
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: People are looking for some t spillage and like she

1045
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: she just really published an excerpt in The Atlantic that

1046
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: defends Biden to some extent, claiming that there was no

1047
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: cover up concerning his mental decline.

1048
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's where you lost me, Komala, Come.

1049
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you saw some ship also would kind

1050
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: of implicate her or something right.

1051
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, in a way, there wasn't really a cover up

1052
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 5: because literally the entire country was like, oh, that's all

1053
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 5: sides of every like there were like a few people

1054
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 5: that that tried to deny it, but like.

1055
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just chose to answer your question. She also said,

1056
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: and this is the refrain from the Biden side his debate,

1057
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: clusterfuck wasn't incapacity. It was just tiredness owing to recent trips.

1058
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 1: And I think and then add in from Hunter Biden,

1059
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of ambient sprinkled in, so he was

1060
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't incapacity. He's just at an age where he

1061
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: was incapacitated by being a little bit tired.

1062
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 5: He was taking a trip down memory lane.

1063
00:56:54,040 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: That's the trips to take that that thing from Hunter

1064
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 2: Biden's like I was on ambient And then like they

1065
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 2: looked at the schedules, like bro he was he was

1066
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 2: traveled like traveling like a week solidly before that. But again,

1067
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: like you're saying, like that's not good if just if

1068
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 2: traveling makes you all tired like that and you want

1069
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 2: to be tuckered out from a trip like a week later,

1070
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 2: like that's that's not a good sign. That's like me,

1071
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm tuckered out from a trip a week later, but like,

1072
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to be present. I would be so

1073
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 2: bad at being present. I'd be so fucking sleepy. What

1074
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 2: would you do if.

1075
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: Comes up to you and says header gut jack, then

1076
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: I cry my superpower, crying my way out of things,

1077
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: well into my would be.

1078
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: Interesting that like the American president, with a completely different

1079
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 2: strategy from past American leaders, openly sobbing pathetically as a

1080
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 2: way to get just like stop like just stop mating,

1081
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 2: Like what the hell? All right, Jesus stopped fucking crying. Man,

1082
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 2: my god, you're gonna get snot on my.

1083
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 5: Supim taft president taft, big crier.

1084
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 2: Big yeah. But yeah, there are other things too where

1085
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 2: she was like where she is sort of like, look,

1086
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 2: there are a lot of times the right wing media

1087
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 2: was attacking me and they just didn't say shit. The

1088
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 2: White House didn't have my back at fucking all, and

1089
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 2: they're like absolutely accurate.

1090
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: Like the the energy coming out of the Biden camp

1091
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: during her run for president was like I don't know,

1092
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: ha haha. Not so easy to have a candidate who

1093
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: doesn't suck shit, huh, Like you know what I mean?

1094
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: Like they were just like praying she would. You got

1095
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: a sense that at least a large part of them

1096
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: maybe there were two wolves inside of them, and one

1097
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: was rooting for her, but another was definitely hoping to

1098
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: see her fail and be vindicated, or thinking that they

1099
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: had a better shot than her.

1100
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there was another thing that she said to quote,

1101
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: it's Joe and Jill's decision. We all said that like

1102
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 2: a mantra, as if we'd all been hypnotized. The stakes

1103
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 2: were simply too high. This wasn't a choice that should

1104
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: have should have been left to an individual's ego and

1105
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 2: individual's ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision. Yeah, Okay,

1106
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess like there's really nothing in

1107
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: here that isn't that's like shocking to me. I'm like, yeah,

1108
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 2: of course they hung you out to dry like that.

1109
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw that.

1110
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: This part, which I think we knew already worse. I

1111
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: often learned that the president's staff was adding fuel to

1112
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: negative narratives that sprang up around me. One narrative that

1113
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: took a stubborn hold was that I had a chaotic

1114
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: office and unusually high staff turnover during my first year.

1115
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 2: As vice president.

1116
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,919
Speaker 1: I do remember that coming at a pretty critical point, yeah,

1117
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: in the and like that wasn't coming like they wouldn't

1118
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: have posted that if that was coming from like JD Vance,

1119
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that was coming from

1120
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: someone inside an administration.

1121
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's fucked up a lot of the two.

1122
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 5: It's like the Biden cognitive whatever cover up this about

1123
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 5: how his team was mean to her. All of it

1124
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 5: just reads. It's like the Democratic Party has no idea

1125
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 5: what the fuck it's doing. And like if if if

1126
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 5: this is what like and I don't know, I I

1127
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 5: to me, she feels done, Like I feel like I

1128
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 5: feel like, as like a populace, we're done with her.

1129
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 5: She also, I think, feels done, like I don't know

1130
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 5: if she would run again, but if she does, it's

1131
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 5: if she does, you know maybe, But like I'm just like,

1132
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 5: if this is what we're still talking about, it's like

1133
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 5: we're fucked.

1134
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the obvious like why did we lose? Like, guys,

1135
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 2: is it really that much of a mystery to you?

1136
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 5: Right?

1137
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the only reason this story is of value.

1138
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Is just too further drive in the coffin of the

1139
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Democratic Party just like, guys, look how bad it was

1140
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, Like we all thought that they had

1141
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: a chance because we were hoping they had a chance.

1142
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, they were blowing it.

1143
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 2: You know, it's a capitalist clown show, and they don't know,

1144
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 2: they don't realize how their devotion to capitalism and the

1145
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 2: status quote was really its whole undoing. And now it's

1146
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 2: now that I now seeing the quotes from the Biden

1147
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 2: administration people that are like giving quotes after in the

1148
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 2: aftermath of this excerpt, I'm like, now I believe everything

1149
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 2: she says. Like one person said, quote Vice President Harris

1150
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 2: was simply not good at the job. She had basically

1151
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 2: zero substantive role in any of the administration's key work streams,

1152
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 2: and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo

1153
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 2: ops that expressed how out of depth she. Wow, holy shit, dude,

1154
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 2: that's what they're saying now. The day after this, yeh

1155
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 2: came out, President Biden was not the mean. Actually you're

1156
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 2: fucking stupid.

1157
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're actually fucking I'm not refuting what we're saying

1158
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: at all.

1159
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's just mean. Nobody likes you, but no

1160
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 2: one's going to tell you that to your face, but

1161
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 2: nobody actually likes you. They going to say, quote, President

1162
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: Biden was not the reason she struggled in officer tanked

1163
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 2: her twenty nineteen presidential campaign or lost the twenty twenty

1164
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 2: four campaign for that matter. The independent variable there is

1165
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 2: the vice president, not Biden or his aides. Damn.

1166
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: So you're like, that's like the best I've seen them

1167
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: at being like critical and clapping that backbone.

1168
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 2: They can't. They couldn't do that against Trump. They couldn't. Yeah,

1169
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 2: it's just but there's other quotes too that back when

1170
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 2: she says another aide or staffer who spoke in this

1171
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: one article, I think, let me just where was it

1172
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 2: in the New Republic said that quote. We all know

1173
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,439
Speaker 2: that the Biden folks treated her and her team like shit.

1174
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 2: We never thought she would actually say anything. Staffers across

1175
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 2: a range of ages and positions that I'm talking to

1176
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 2: are proud of her. Yeah, so there's clearly, like I

1177
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 2: mean again, and it just shows a very divided administration.

1178
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: And I think that was really probably became clear as

1179
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: Biden just sat on his hands after October seventh, too, right,

1180
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, we will see where if this, if this

1181
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 2: harms her career because you have other people being like,

1182
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: well she just nuked her career. Really, yeah, I mean

1183
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1184
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean like I feel like the type of people

1185
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: who say that, who are like play it safe politically

1186
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: always have have proven that they have.

1187
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 2: Some of the worst instincts in modern politics. I mean,

1188
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 2: like think about like Anthony Wiener, you know what I mean,

1189
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 2: who went to prison, Like he's even trying to get

1190
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 2: back in. Yeah, you know, it takes a lot to

1191
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 2: get it through to these people that it's like, hey,

1192
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 2: maybe you cooked Yeah I don't think. Yeah, I don't know.

1193
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: If only they had like some blueprint of a path

1194
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: forward that had a lot of public support, like just

1195
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: a New York mayor old candidate who was dominant and

1196
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: extremely popular that they've chosen to completely ignore and try

1197
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: and fuck over.

1198
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's like the thing where it's like it's like

1199
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 2: you say, like the like the Democrats are like like

1200
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 2: big pepsi people, and they're like, no, it's pepsi for everyone,

1201
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 2: Like everyone likes coke.

1202
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: No, no, it's pepsi. It's like I look at the

1203
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: fucking numbers man. Everyone nobody's drinking PEPs numbers. It tainted

1204
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: and like they can't even fucking admit it.

1205
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 2: They're just like fuck, like no, none of them are

1206
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 2: backing zor like like what the fuck is going on that?

1207
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 5: I mean again, it's just like I I've just never

1208
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 5: felt more done with the Democratic Party as a whole.

1209
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 5: I'm just like, I don't know what you want from me.

1210
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 5: I want nothing from you, guys. I guess like, yeah,

1211
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 5: this is just crazy.

1212
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,840

Speaker 1: I'm buying an envelope. This is Rosalind Marghlez responded with

1271
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: this quote to a post from zech Zech which said

1272
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: order your groceries saves an extra one to two hours

1273
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: a week. Compounded, that's five fifty to one hundred hours

1274
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: a year, a whole week work of worth of work

1275
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: you gain. I promise that that time is more important

1276
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: than the ten dollars delivery fee that was from Zech.

1277
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 2: And then Rosalind.

1278
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: Marglei's tweeted this quote from Kurvon to get on buying

1279
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: an envelope. Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man,

1280
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: you know, why don't you go online and buy one

1281
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: hundred envelopes and put them in the closet. And so

1282
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 1: I pretend not to hear her and go out to

1283
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: get an envelope, because I'm going to have a hell

1284
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: of a good time. In the process of buying one envelope,

1285
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: I meet a lot of people and see some great

1286
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: looking babies, and a fire engine goes by, and I

1287
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: give them the thumbs up, and I'll ask a woman

1288
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: what kind of dog that is? And I don't know.

1289
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: The moral of the story is we're here on earth

1290
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: to fart around, and of course the computers will do

1291
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: us out of that. And what the computer people don't

1292
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: realize or they don't care, is we're dancing animals, you know,

1293
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: we love to move around, and it's like we're not
