1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies. History is

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: learn this stuff they don't want you to know. A

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio.

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt, my.

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 3: Name is Noah.

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 4: They goal me Ben. We're joined as always with our

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 4: super producer Dylan to Tennessee pal Fagan. Most importantly, you

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 4: are you. You are here. That makes this the stuff

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 4: they don't want you to know. Folks, Welcome to Strange News.

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 4: I almost did like a FM radio voice on that one.

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 4: But anyway, if you're hearing this, it's Monday, June sixteenth.

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 4: Congrats to everybody. Also for any tenfoil hat fans in

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 4: the crowd. You guys, they're finally doing it. They're microchip

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: in the cheese. We knew it was coming. Look strange it.

16
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 5: Uh well, I guess how to deploy the devices into

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 5: our bodies.

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 4: You can eat a microchip. Technically, it's probably not in,

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 4: you know, like the food pyramid, which is itself a conspiracy.

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 4: But as we know, there's been a we've talked about

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: in the past. There's been a lot of kerfuffle over

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 4: calling stuff, champagne or calling stuff, you know, parmesan. Italy

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: and France in particular, with their very rich food culture

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 4: and history, they're very sensitive to counterfeits. So now UH

25
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: Parmesan cheese, being one of the most counterfeited cheeses in

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: the world dubious distinction, UH is now going to have

27
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: its quality and authenticity assured through the use of microchips

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: on the outside of those big Parmagiano reggiano cheese wheels.

29
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: And this comes to us courtesy of the Parmagado Reggiato

30
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: Consortium or PRC, which is somehow a real thing.

31
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: Not the People's Republic of China.

32
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: But there's something very different, yes, different kind of cheese

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: in there. So if you want to learn more about that,

34
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: go to CBS News. There's a great article by Emmett Leon's.

35
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: This actually happened a while ago, but we just found

36
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 4: out about it. So check your cheese for micro chips,

37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: and of course also remember that you cannot use your

38
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: cost code card as a valid form of ID at

39
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: US airports. We're going to get into a lot of

40
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 4: other stuff. Obviously, those are the headlines that concerned us most.

41
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, and nothing weird going on on the

42
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 5: West Coast. No, there is, and that's very concerning as well.

43
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 5: We're going to get to it right after this quick break.

44
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: And we have returned or breaking story. Now again this

45
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: is live fire. Unfortunately, that is a literal truth. We

46
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: are going to give you the quick skinny, the timeline

47
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: of what's happening with the protests in Los Angeles. Now,

48
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: this has gripped a lot of headlines, but unfortunately a

49
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: lot of those headlines have been pushing various narratives. Here's

50
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: what you need to know, folks. On June sixth, twenty

51
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: twenty five, there were protests in Los Angeles, and these

52
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: protests have been bubbling for a while, not just in

53
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: LA but across the world here in Atlanta as well.

54
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: And they came about because Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or

55
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: ICE as we call them in the US, they were

56
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: conducting raids, as they have done in multiple cities, to

57
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: arrest people who are allegedly involved in illegal immigration to

58
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: the United States. Protesting is inherently American thing, right. This

59
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: country has founded on the idea of protesting. Several of

60
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 4: these protests turned violent in the opinion of law enforcement,

61
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 4: and it was after the Los Angeles Police Department or

62
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: LAPD and ice clashed with protesters. Now, we talked about

63
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: this a little bit off air before we continue with

64
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: a timeline and get to the live updates on the curfew,

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: and Governor Newsom and the current administration would love to

66
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: hear your initial thoughts.

67
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: Guys.

68
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 5: I mean you nailed that when you said that protest

69
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: as an American right privilege, it should be encouraged and

70
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 5: has historically been encouraged. And when you start hearing things

71
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 5: like any protests will be met with force, that is real,

72
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 5: scary and a real not a slippery slope at all,

73
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 5: it's a plunge. There have been protests all over the

74
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 5: country and there was one here in Atlanta the other

75
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 5: night and some of my kids friends were there and

76
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: it turned violent, and a source from the inside who

77
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 5: I have every trust in said it was cops that

78
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 5: were instigating the violence and not the protesters. This notion

79
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: from the administration that these are paid agitators just sounds

80
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 5: so retrograde and like the kind of stuff that would

81
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 5: have been said by like a Boss Tweed type individual.

82
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 6: It just freaks me out.

83
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: It reminds us again of the old observation that every

84
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: accusation can itself be a confession and what we see

85
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: here again, please check out our earlier episodes on the

86
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 4: concept of agent provocateurs. That's a very real thing. We

87
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: saw it during the Black Lives Matter protest, We've seen

88
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 4: it during multiple historical protests. One of the most disturbing

89
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: things for a lot of observers here is the idea

90
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: that the California National Guard was sent in along with

91
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: Marines without the consent of California's governor, Gavin Newsom. It

92
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 4: has happened before that the National Guard would be called

93
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 4: in to a state or to a region without the

94
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: consent of the governor, but that's very rare. As a

95
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 4: matter of fact, one of the last times that happened

96
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 4: before now was when the schools were integrated post segregation.

97
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: This is the opposite, right, the governor of California is

98
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: saying we don't need the National Guard activated, and the

99
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: current administration is activating the National Guard without the consent

100
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: of the governor, which is hinky. As our pal Chuck

101
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: would say.

102
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 5: If I'm not mistaken, calling for his arrest sort of

103
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: in a ingest, but not you know, I don't know right,

104
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 5: not in jest. I mean, you know what I mean though,

105
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 5: the way he says that everything's kind of veiled in

106
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 5: this sort of sarcasm almost. But then people start repeating it,

107
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: and he even claimed I believe that he did talk

108
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 5: to the governor, and the governor says that that's just

109
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 5: not true.

110
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: The governor told the Borders are to come arrest him

111
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: and told them, hey, Newsom said, look this is where

112
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 4: I am. Come get me. We can play a quick

113
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 4: clip of Newsom's recent statements. I think it will be

114
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: worth our time. Okay, this is Governor Newsom talking just

115
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: a few hours ago, as we record on Wednesday, June eleventh.

116
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 7: This is about you California maybe first, but it clearly

117
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 7: will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next.

118
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 7: Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we

119
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 7: have feared has arrived.

120
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: So we'll stop there. You can see newsom statements in

121
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 4: full online for now right there before continues. So I'm

122
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: not monologuing. What are our initial reactions to that statement.

123
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: It's very weird and attempting to not get too political

124
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: about it is difficult right in some of these situations,

125
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: because it does feel as though this is fear is

126
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: the thing. That's what this is. It's supposed to be fear.

127
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: In my opinion, that move is to instill fear in

128
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: other people who are not at that protest. That is

129
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: like the reason why you do it. I've been recalling

130
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: a lot of conversations I've had with my parents. I'm

131
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: sorry to do this one more time, Guys, you know

132
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: this already. My parents in nineteen seventy on May fourth,

133
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 2: were at Kent State University when there was a demonstration

134
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: two thousand people on the Commons and the Ohio National

135
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: Guard showed up to try and bring law and order

136
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: to that situation. You had a governor that was upset

137
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: about it, and you had, you know, a president that

138
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: was upset about it, and you had a lot of

139
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: pressure from above from the authorities of people in power

140
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: trying to get trying to quell sentiment right, And it

141
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: wasn't just about the sentiment of all of those students,

142
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: mostly students, gathered on the commons. It was about the

143
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: national sentiment of being angry right at actions that the

144
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: federal government was taking. But in that situation, it's just

145
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: it's so crazy to me. In thirteen seconds, four students

146
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: got killed, nine got injured by National Guard members because

147
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: again because of the confusion, because of the fear that

148
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: everyone is feeling in those moments when there's a standoff, right,

149
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: and it just reminds me that they're in every situation

150
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: like this, when you have people who are armed, no

151
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: matter what those armaments are, with non lethal or not,

152
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: it is such a dangerous situation.

153
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: Democracy as well is fragile. And as someone who has

154
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: participated in protests and kerfuffles abroad, you know, one of

155
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: the primary things that we warn people about is not

156
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: to be involved. Right as you're saying the idea of fear,

157
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: the idea of pushing people away from a thing. It

158
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: is immensely and darkly hilarious to me that the NRA,

159
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 4: of all lobbies and associations has not weighed in with

160
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: a statement about resisting tyranny. Dare I say a bit hypocritical,

161
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: but we do have to remember again the fragility of

162
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 4: the social compact. Right, it seems like it works, it

163
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 4: seems ironclad until it is not roughly seven hundred marines

164
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: from a really like a real hellhole. I'm just gonna

165
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 4: say it. Sorry, guys, if your veterans or Marines in

166
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 4: the crowd to night. You know what we're talking about.

167
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: Twenty nine Palms, that's where those folks are coming from,

168
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: and those seven hundred marines estimated.

169
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,239
Speaker 2: There.

170
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: They have a specialization in riot control and urban warfare. However,

171
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: that is turning the military upon civilians who have not

172
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: gone to court, have not been convicted of a crime.

173
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 4: It is a worrisome thing. As we record tonight on Wednesday,

174
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: June eleventh, once more, there are curfew. There is a

175
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: curfew in effect in Los Angeles. The curfew is from

176
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: eight pm to six am, which honestly is logistically improbable

177
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: just given Los Angeles traffic. Not to make a SNL

178
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: joke out of this whole thing, but LA traffic is bearable.

179
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: So how are they going to get home by eight?

180
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 8: Yeah?

181
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 5: A lot of stuff that I was saying too, as

182
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: people on the highways like standing on cars and stuff

183
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 5: and sort of like turnipying the interstates and you know,

184
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: physically blocking blocking traffic.

185
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 4: And the LAPD vehicles that got run out and run

186
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 4: down the exchange of tear gas. There's some Black Bloc protesting.

187
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: I am certain there's some agent provocateurs This's my question.

188
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 6: Can't that be employed on both sides?

189
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 5: Though? And I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist here,

190
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 5: but it certainly seems like a plot twist in a

191
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 5: political machination of turning protests in the favor of the

192
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: people being protested against by delegitimizing it, perhaps by injecting

193
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: violence into it themselves.

194
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

195
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, check out our episodes on agent provocateurs. That's

196
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: exactly what you're describing, and it makes hellish sense. Critics

197
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 4: of the current administration are by and large convinced that

198
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 4: there is a concerted effort to some degree to push

199
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: a situation such that a member of law enforcement or

200
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: the military or the National Guard is injured or maybe

201
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: even maybe fatally injured, such that the Insurrection Act could

202
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 4: be called upon, such that there could be a declaration

203
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: of martial law rens and repeat tactic replicated in other states.

204
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: This is live fire. This is a serious thing, and

205
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: just for full disclosure, and I checked with him before

206
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 4: saying this on air. Touch base with some of our

207
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: LA friends, some of whom wish to remain anonymous, some

208
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 4: of whom are happy to report that they are Okay,

209
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 4: so want to give a shout out to our daily

210
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: Zeitgeist family. Jack and Miles, who are way cooler than us,

211
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: are are all right, but the tension is high and

212
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: the question is, to your point, Zal, is there a

213
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: conspiracy afoot? Is the current administration or some faction of

214
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: the federal government attempting to force an issue to create

215
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 4: causes belly to create a rationalization for the rollout of

216
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: martial law? And again, where's the NRA. Where where are

217
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: guys who are like you should always stand up against tyranny?

218
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: I don't know where jaw rualism?

219
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: Where is jaw I'm sorry, it's I yelled.

220
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: It's a really tough situation because you've You've got a

221
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: battalion of marines, right, seven hundred dudes who are following

222
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: their orders because they have to right to some extent,

223
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: and if they choose not to, there are repercussions, right,

224
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: like pretty serious repercussions. If you say no, I'm not

225
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: going to do that. How many times can that happen? Before,

226
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: you know, first small groups of marines say no or

227
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: you know, fight back against it. It just it worries

228
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: me that we if this kind of thing continues, and

229
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: the US military is continually aimed at itself, you know,

230
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: at its own citizens. How long before we have those

231
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: simple sabotaged things happening, And how long before, you know,

232
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: the thing that's supposed to protect the United States starts

233
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: dismantling itself.

234
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: Right, and ora boros? What occurs when it begins to

235
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: eat its own And that's always been a that's always

236
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: been a structural or systemic possibility, right with the way

237
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 4: the US government is created, right the way the ORG

238
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: chart works. You know, governors have beefed with the FEDS before. However, again,

239
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: not to sound like a broken record, when these elephants

240
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: make war, it is the grass that suffers. And if

241
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: you are an active member of the armed forces, the

242
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 4: US military law enforcement would love to hear we would

243
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 4: love to hear, I hope, not just me. We would

244
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: love to hear your input, your first hand experience, because

245
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, every single marine, active or out

246
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: of the service that I have spoken with regarding this specifically,

247
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: everyone knows that if you're a marine, you have way

248
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: more in common with the people on the ground protesting

249
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles or in Texas or in other cities

250
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: to come you have, you have way more in common

251
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: with them than you do with those folks in DC.

252
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: That's just demographically true communitis.

253
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 5: Also to state maybe the obvious or maybe it's not

254
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 5: so obvious, that there are people on both sides of

255
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 5: the political divide that have a real problem with this,

256
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, this is not a hot take

257
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 5: or a political take. This is stuff that matters and

258
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 5: stuff that is very scary. And there are certainly people

259
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 5: who voted for this administration that also are not cool

260
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 5: with this because it's inherently kind of not cool.

261
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 4: Well, it's inherently a danger, existential danger to democracy. I

262
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: appreciate that point that it is a political The idea

263
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: of differing political parties is a beautiful aspect of the

264
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 4: American experiment. It's tight to protest, it's dope to disagree.

265
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 4: The thing is, we cannot injure the vehicle that allows

266
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 4: that discourse to continue. If that makes sense.

267
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 5: It does, and I mean the proposed goal here of

268
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 5: the policies that are being protested is to remove murderers

269
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 5: and all of this stuff and this rhetoric that you

270
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 5: know came along with the political campaigns, but we've seen

271
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: multiple very very clear cases of overreach.

272
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: And that's the problem.

273
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 5: Like, I don't think anyone has any problem with dealing

274
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 5: with criminals in an even handed way, you know.

275
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 3: Dealing with folks who intend to do harm.

276
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 5: But there's this baby out with the bathwater thing that's

277
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 5: going on, and it really starts to feel like the

278
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 5: on the surface reasoning behind doing some of these deportations

279
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 5: and sweeps is really just a cover story for doing

280
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 5: whatever they want.

281
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: And we also want to shout out the Los Angeles

282
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 4: mayor Karen Bess. Karen Bass earlier criticized these ice raids

283
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 4: leading to the protest. It's got to be a weird

284
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: day to be a weird time to be home. Depot

285
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: PR Right Public Relations. Karen Bass, mayor of Los Angeles, said,

286
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: as mayor of a proud city of immigrants who contribute

287
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 4: to our city in so many ways, I am deeply

288
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 4: angered by what has taken place. These tactics so terror

289
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in

290
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 4: our city. The folks deployed have military training, the protesters

291
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 4: do not. And I love the point about the broad

292
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 4: brush danger. You cannot and should not paint everybody as

293
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 4: a criminal, you know what I mean? Like, I hang

294
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: out with people who like Doctor Pepper. I don't think

295
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 4: they're all terrorists.

296
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 3: I like diet doctor Pepper. Does that make me a terrorist?

297
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: No, you're your own man.

298
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: Guys, had a conversation. Don't mean to derail us here

299
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: on sodas, but we're talking about them. Fago. I've learned

300
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: about a thing called rock and Rye. I never heard

301
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: of that before. Did we can talk that?

302
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 5: It's a cream kind of situation, right, It's a spicy

303
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 5: cream stell. It's something it's very popular and very regional.

304
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: People in Detroit love it.

305
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 4: But get it in the twenty four ounce version.

306
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: But did we talk about that on the show?

307
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 5: I don't remember having a rock I know moon messs

308
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 5: we've talked about, but maybe not rock and rye.

309
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: What's the deal with rock and Rye?

310
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: I didn't know. It was based on a prohibition drink

311
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: that was very popular back in the time, a rock

312
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: and rye whiskey. Very interesting stuff. Okay, sorry, that's it.

313
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: Hurt is delicious, folks. Look, we know this is important.

314
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 4: We're running a little bit over in the first act

315
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: of our weekly segment here because we want to hear

316
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: from you. We hope that we are shared just the facts, right,

317
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: not opinions, the objective facts, the controversies on both sides,

318
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 4: the worries of the critics. We will say that people

319
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 4: who are supportive of the actions of Ice, of the

320
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: actions of the federal government, do seem to genuinely believe that,

321
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 4: to Nole's point, there is some kind of criminal compromise occurring. However,

322
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: any other statistics you look at, any other prove incredible

323
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: quantitative analysis shows that is not the case. This is

324
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 4: going to be something that I imagine or I hope

325
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 4: we return to in an episode in the future, because

326
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 4: as you're hearing this the evening it publishes, a lot

327
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: more will have transpired. So is stay tuned for an

328
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: upcoming episode. We're going to give you the timeline, We're

329
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: going to give you the implications, the add on consequences,

330
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 4: and the conspiracies at play. For now, we're going to

331
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 4: pause for a word from our sponsors. Be safe out there.

332
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 4: La returned with some more strange.

333
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 8: News, and we returned with strange news and a story

334
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 8: that I've been kicking around the dock for a couple

335
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 8: of weeks now and just kept not getting to.

336
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 6: But I think though it's maybe a couple weeks old.

337
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: It's worth discussing.

338
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 5: Is it's something that we feel very passionately about, which

339
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 5: is the implementation of AI, the future of AI.

340
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: This idea of an.

341
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 5: AI bubble, the term being grossly overused in and of itself,

342
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 5: and this is just I think a really telling example

343
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: of AI overreach. Literally, there's a company that was called

344
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 5: Builder or called Builder dot ai that has collapsed under

345
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 5: the weight of its AI scamming. Essentially the billion dollar

346
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 5: company that received some investment money from the likes of Microsoft.

347
00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 5: Valued at one point five billion, the startup essentially mass

348
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 5: crated manual labor programmers, developers, whatever, freelancers doing this kind

349
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: of manual work as machine learning for quite some time,

350
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 5: you know, totally bilking its investors and the public into

351
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 5: believing that they had this entirely AI driven platform that

352
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 5: could I believe their goal was creating software like essentially

353
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 5: building platforms. They described its AI system AI and hard

354
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 5: quotes there as a fully autonomous tool that could build

355
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: software quote as easy as ordering pizza.

356
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: But I believe it.

357
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 5: Was Bloomberg who did an expose showing that engineers in Noida,

358
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: I believe, and Bengalore were actually the ones behind the

359
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: work that was being done that was being passed off

360
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 5: as machine learning. And it refers to this concept the

361
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 5: guys that I haven't heard until very recently called AI washing.

362
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 5: It's this idea that it's so popular and the hot

363
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 5: new thing now that people are doing this very thing

364
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 5: past AI affying things when it actually isn't that, or

365
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 5: using it as sort of a buzzy way of you know,

366
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 5: making some headlines or whatever.

367
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 6: And this is obviously the beyond the pale, total scamster

368
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 6: version of that.

369
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 4: By it it's like when you put digital in front

370
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: of every piece of technology in the nineteen ninety million percent.

371
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 4: Now I've got a digital toaster totally. Now an AI toaster.

372
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 4: Oh my AI crypto backed toaster will make artificial organic

373
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 4: toast for you.

374
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 6: Organics.

375
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 4: Another book, it's all computer and I think were we

376
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 4: talking about this, No, I can't remember if it was

377
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 4: on air previously or just an off air conversation. This

378
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 4: shows the the the bubble of AI being burst, like

379
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 4: the valuation goes crazy. Also, these folks were backed by Microsoft.

380
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 6: Exactly right, Yeah, for sure.

381
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 5: I mentioned that as well. As you know, other venture

382
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 5: capitalists that were involved. At one point five billion dollar valuation,

383
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 5: it's a big deal. A former engineer for the project

384
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: from Bangalore had this to say, this is a piece

385
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 5: on tech spot that I think is jumping off of

386
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 5: a lot of that Bloomberg reporting. We were told to

387
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 5: never mention our location or use Indian English phrases, so

388
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 5: they were basically instructed to pretend to be AI. And

389
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 5: it's another thing we see too with companies like Tesla

390
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 5: that are pushing and pushing and pushing this automated stuff

391
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 5: that actually is people remote controlling things behind the scenes,

392
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 5: like these robots that were you know, trotted out at

393
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 5: this big public you know, kind of event, this Gala

394
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 5: thing as being these autonomous creations, but then it was

395
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 5: exposed that they actually had people in other rooms controlling

396
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 5: them with remote like puppeteering these things, which made them

397
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 5: essentially animatronic and not AI at all. So that's an

398
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 5: early example of this, and I think we're it's going

399
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 5: to keep seeing more of it. But yeah, I don't know, guys,

400
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 5: any any thoughts here. It does feel like I'll just

401
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 5: wrap up my part of this by saying that the

402
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 5: Bloomberg reporting indicated that this artificially inflated builder dot AI's

403
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 5: revenue buy up to three hundred percent. Audits later revealed

404
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four revenues totaled around fifty five million dollars,

405
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 5: a fraction of the two hundred and twenty million projected

406
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 5: to investors. So frauds within frauds with this one, y'all.

407
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, thoughts sounds like standard practice to me. No,

408
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: not really. It is one of those things where when

409
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: you've got a big company like that and you're trying

410
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: to get investors, you do anything and everything you can,

411
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: and if you can. I look, I don't know. It

412
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: feels like if you can pull off a grift like that,

413
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: people are going to be doing it. Whether it's just

414
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: goosing numbers or an entire thing. Yeah, I don't know.

415
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm not saying everybody's doing that. It just feels common.

416
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it does feel like the kind of thing

417
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 5: that is eventually going to catch up to you. The

418
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 5: last bit that I want to mention from the article

419
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 5: is Microsoft invested four hundred and fifty five million dollars

420
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: back in twenty twenty three, and they actually included plans

421
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 5: to like on board this technology with some of their

422
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 5: platforms in their suite. And you know, say what you

423
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 5: will about the quality of Microsoft's tools in their suite,

424
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 5: not great, but they're very widely used, you know in

425
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 5: business and corporations that have these you know, enterprise versions

426
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 5: of these tools. What really led to the collapse was

427
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 5: when Viola Credit, a creditor involved in the project, sees

428
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 5: thirty seven million dollars from their accounts after it uncovered

429
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 5: inflated financials, leaving just around five million in restricted funds.

430
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 5: And they also owe eighty five million dollars to Amazon

431
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 5: for cloud services, so that's just like their cloud storage

432
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 5: bills or something that It's not clear to me whether

433
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 5: Amazon was an investor because they also list thirty million

434
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 5: to Microsoft, but it does say it for cloud services,

435
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: so I guess they were using both of those enterprise

436
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: solutions or whatever.

437
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know. It's pretty wild.

438
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 5: They've had records subpoenaed and it is a real show

439
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 5: and really points to this whole concept of AI washing

440
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 5: that I think is super interesting. Really quickly, I just

441
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: want to move on to another sort of more lighthearted

442
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 5: story band that I think you'll appreciate.

443
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 6: And now I'm curious as to whether you've seen this.

444
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: It's pretty new in your.

445
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 6: Travels in Japan.

446
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 5: For quite a few years now, there's been a bit

447
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 5: of a battle about as escalator etiquette in Japan in

448
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: different areas. Apparently in some areas you're supposed to walk

449
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 5: on the left and stand on the right, and on

450
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 5: others you're supposed to stand on the right walk on

451
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: the left, and so I guess they're but there's a

452
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: lot of government kind of finger wagging at walking on

453
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 5: escalators at all. So now there's this new government initiative

454
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: that is designed to encourage people to stand still un escalators.

455
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: The name of the initiative and the folks that are

456
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 5: working to spread its message is the Stop and Stand Squad,

457
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 5: which is essentially paying Japanese citizens.

458
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 6: A pretty respectable wage.

459
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 5: Based on some reporting that I saw, it was like

460
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 5: above the average that an individual might make working at

461
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 5: like a cafe or a restaurant or something like that,

462
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: or a bar, and team members are paid for six

463
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 5: hours of daily work standing on these escalators. You could

464
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 5: look at it as preventing folks from actually walking up

465
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 5: the escalators, or you could just say that they're encouraging

466
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 5: this etiquette, but they actually have these giant stop hands,

467
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 5: like foam hands on their backs, and they're wearing I

468
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 5: don't know if this is a uniform, but it looks

469
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: like they're wearing like a red kind of parka and

470
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 5: some light pants. But that could well be this individual's,

471
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 5: you know, personal fashion choice. But just says stop in

472
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 5: two different text styles. It just says stop in the

473
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 5: English in the middle, real big, and then it has

474
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 5: one version up and the other.

475
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: On the bottom.

476
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 5: I just think it's funny and interesting, and I don't

477
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 5: really see what the issue is with the stand on

478
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 5: the right, walk on the left. But is it maybe

479
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: a product of not being kind of universal across the

480
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 5: area you tell me, I don't know.

481
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 4: It's funny, guys, Yeah, city by city, which toier point

482
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 4: can be confusing. I think the first version I heard

483
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 4: of this was in Nagoya a few years back, And

484
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: to your question, there no the from this is my understanding.

485
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: I don't have the research on this, but from what

486
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 4: I remember, a part of the issue was that there

487
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 4: were a lot of people with disabilities and elderly people.

488
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 4: As Japan's demographics continue to shift, elderly people were worried

489
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 4: because they were getting they were getting hit. There might

490
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 4: be accidents on the escalators. I think the Japanese government

491
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 4: or the municipalities call it improper use, and hundreds of

492
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: folks where Look, if you've been in an airport, you've

493
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 4: been in a new public space with a big escalator,

494
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: you know that there is a higher than average likelihood

495
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: of somebody running to something right. Excuse me, excuse me,

496
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: I get my plane, excuse me, excuse me. You know

497
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: this illegal fungus I smuggled is gonna die if I

498
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 4: don't sneak it past customs. So there is there is

499
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: a real need. But I love your I love your

500
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 4: description of paying people to make folks stand still. This

501
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: comes along with a wave of other what are sometimes

502
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: called wacky Japanese laws. I don't know if you heard this,

503
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: but Japan has also banned flashy baby dames.

504
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

505
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 5: I was gonna mention that, like and the things that

506
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: are Nike, Yeah, that are more like brand centric. And

507
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 5: then you know, I mentioned the podcast that I enjoy.

508
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 5: It is called weird af News with Jonesy. He just

509
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 5: finds some really fun stories and so shout out to

510
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 5: him and his podcast, But he also, in talking about

511
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 5: that very story, mentioned that I want to say, somewhere

512
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 5: in Scandinavia, I think maybe Sweden, there is like or

513
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 5: maybe in Norway, an approved list of baby names, so

514
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 5: they go even further than that.

515
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 3: I just thought that was very interesting.

516
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 4: Thou shalt not name your kid uh Zanzibar.

517
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: It is really funny to me. I remember being warned

518
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: against the escalators as a as a wee boy, and

519
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: then actually falling down one a little bit garry and realizing, oh, okay,

520
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: I will be careful on these escalators.

521
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen under the hood of an.

522
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 6: Escalators killing machine? It's Mary's deeper than it. It'll grind

523
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 6: you up. It takes you into the for sure.

524
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: But at the same time it does Ben. I'm just

525
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: I keep getting an image now of an aging population

526
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: and just being like, yeah, God, be careful with the

527
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 2: escalators please.

528
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 4: But it's real.

529
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does feel like, well, you know, maybe let's

530
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: invest in more elevators or lifts of different kinds.

531
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 6: It is an aging infrastructure. I mean, when you guys

532
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 6: argue that the escalator is.

533
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: A little dated in general, it's just like, have you

534
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 5: ever been to like malls where like the escalators just

535
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 5: aren't don't even work, and then you're basically just climbing

536
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 5: up really sharp scary stairs.

537
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 4: Shout out to Mitch Hedberg. Yeah, escalators never break, they

538
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 4: become stairs, as he says, it's true.

539
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: It's true.

540
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 4: You know, I get it. I get where we're coming from.

541
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 4: It's also it's also I think, a parable about how

542
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 4: governments can try their best to help a population. But

543
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: it's all in the approach, right, and it's all in

544
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: the bedside banner. Are like if you there was another

545
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 4: thing where you know, Japan has a quite punishing work

546
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 4: schedule or cultural expectations of work hours, and any time

547
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 4: the government has tried to mitigate that, the culture just

548
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: says no. So if you are, let's practice sympathy. If

549
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 4: we're the guy in a hurry, right, we got to

550
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 4: get these documents, you know we always get We got

551
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: our briefcase of documents or whatever, and we got to

552
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: get them to the drop off point. Oh snap, there's

553
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 4: an escalator. There are a bunch of elderly people on

554
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 4: it and they're not moving, and some of them have

555
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 4: signs on their backs. Is that going to stop you?

556
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: As an individual or are you more likely to say, well,

557
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 4: just me because my thing is really important. Yeah, I'm

558
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 4: going to barrel through that.

559
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 5: Being said though, and I haven't been, but it does

560
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 5: seem to me that the Japanese people do value decorum

561
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 5: and value those standardizations and sort of expectations, maybe more

562
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 5: so than we do over here. But maybe that's a

563
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 5: great generalization, but it does feel that way.

564
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 4: No, you're right, that is true, and part of that

565
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 4: is the larger homogeneity of the population. But look, you know,

566
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 4: if you want to see another example of trying to

567
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: trying to get people to practice social compact through legislation

568
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 4: or through mandates, look at all the smoking laws that

569
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 4: have changed. There are a ton of people in France

570
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 4: that are super pissed off right now, and Japan itself,

571
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 4: city by city is still struggling with smoking bands.

572
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 5: M I didn't know that. I know people have to

573
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 5: smoke in Japan. I mean in China maybe more so

574
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 5: or at least gets that rap. But it's it's interesting.

575
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 4: So what would you do do you have do we

576
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 4: then have if we're trying to stop the escalator of

577
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 4: something like secondhand smoke? Do we have people who wear

578
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 4: t shirts with no smoking sides and make them stand

579
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 4: directly outside.

580
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 3: Of a bar. Well, you know, those tactics don't work.

581
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 5: It certainly didn't work over a year, or I guess

582
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 5: maybe arguably like truth campaigns and the anti drug you know,

583
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 5: propaganda type campaigns, or whatever your mileage may vary. I

584
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 5: will say this, Japan sure does have an amazing reputation

585
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 5: for incredible mascot costumes and just sort of like the

586
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 5: maybe over here we would the closest equivalent would be

587
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 5: Signed Spinners, but over there they go hard, hard in

588
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 5: the paint on those. And this is another example, these

589
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 5: giant foam hands and people just hanging out on these

590
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 5: escalators for hours at a time.

591
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 4: So I like that Sign Spinner comparison. That's probably one

592
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: of the best comparisons I've heard.

593
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: Nice.

594
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 5: It's much more of a cultural thing over there, and

595
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 5: it feels like it gets a budget. Over here, you

596
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 5: just see like really shoddy stuff and like kind of

597
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 5: you know, low rent statue of liberty costumes and stuff.

598
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 5: But over there it's sort of an art form. And

599
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 5: I actually follow you may as well, and I can't

600
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 5: remember the name off hand, but it's an Instagram account

601
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 5: that just highlights those many of those you know happening

602
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 5: out in the wild, those types of elaborate advertising costumes.

603
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 6: Well, guys, this went on a bit longer than I thought.

604
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: I know, we've got more to get to.

605
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 5: There's a couple of stories that I didn't mention that

606
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 5: I think I will just save for next time, including

607
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 5: a weed dispensary in I want to say Michigan is.

608
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 6: Offering but a single pre roll joint and in exchanged

609
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 6: for proof of big Foot seems a little bit stingy

610
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 6: to me. I think you should.

611
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 5: Get, like, you know, a quarter or something, or at least,

612
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 5: you know, a pack of pre rolls again to credit

613
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 5: where credit is due. Jonesy un weird af News made

614
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 5: that point that I was thinking, as well, let's take

615
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 5: a quick break here worth from our sponsor.

616
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: I will be back with more strange.

617
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: News, and we've returned, guys up top. I have two

618
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: equally important vital updates that are coming out in the

619
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: news right now. The first one is checking back in

620
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: with the private companies attempting to land on the Moon.

621
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: We last talked about it in early March. I think

622
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 2: maybe we recorded it in late February, but I think

623
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: it was March when it came out. We talked about

624
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: several other companies and updates to their attempts to make

625
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 2: lunar landings happen. Well, one of those companies was I

626
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: Space that's no space is just the letter I and

627
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: then Space. They had a lander that was on its

628
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: way to the Moon when we were talking about it.

629
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: It was, you know, the company was very excited because

630
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: they were going to get to try again because they

631
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: had previously attempted to make it happen. But it crashed

632
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 2: into the moon. As many of these have, only a few.

633
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: I think Firefly is the only company that we talked

634
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: about that actually made a successful landing since then. But

635
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: this one, High Space unfortunately failed because communication was lost

636
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: between the team at I Space, which is Tokyo based,

637
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 2: and the lander itself as it was about it was

638
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: about to happen, you guys, and they lost comms with it.

639
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: A very very sad situation there, because it had a

640
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: mini rover on it, it was gonna do all kinds

641
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: of cool stuff. Just if you think about the hundreds

642
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: and hundreds of hours of you know that all of

643
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 2: these engineers put in and then it was all unfortunately

644
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: for not. Well it wasn't for not because there's learning,

645
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: right just in every time you fail, you learn. That's

646
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 2: just what I can tell that my son.

647
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how science works. Yeah, we talked about that

648
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 4: too previously, you know, in state supported initiatives as well.

649
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 4: Just getting out of the atmosphere is tough. We I

650
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: believe we were all collectively baffled and humbled by our

651
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 4: our even our our bare top line understanding of the

652
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 4: math that goes into taking off from an object like

653
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 4: Earth moving so quickly and then somehow, somehow landing on

654
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 4: another thing moving around that planet. It's it's great, you

655
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like even crash landing on the

656
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 4: Moon is an enormous success.

657
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: You hit you know what I mean?

658
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 4: Yet there you know what I mean?

659
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it really is like dartsy, you at least

660
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: hit the board. So yeah. In in this instance, it

661
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 2: appears that the laser system that there were that I

662
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 2: Space was using on this particular lander to estimate the

663
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: altitude of the lander, like basically a distance away from

664
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: the Moon, it didn't work properly, so it crashed right

665
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: into it, which made me think about those way most

666
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: systems that use lasers, and you know all these other

667
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: self driving systems that use lasers to detect how close

668
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: something is.

669
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 4: They're like the Kaiju Jaegers in Pacific Rim the sequel

670
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 4: Pacific Rim Uprising. I don't trust them, the Kaiju Jaegers

671
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 4: in the Big mechs in Pacific Rim Uprising spoiler. They're

672
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 4: supposed to be autonomous, but it turns out that they

673
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 4: are instead the spoiler three to one. They're operated by

674
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 4: these eldritch, evil cosmic entities. So maybe that's what we

675
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: need for the Moon. Maybe we need to take some

676
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 4: of the research in resurrecting brain cells or turning dead

677
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 4: spiders into cyber zombies. Those are true stories, and maybe

678
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: we put their brains, you know, in a little in

679
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 4: a little compot, a little operating center for these lunar landers.

680
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: Japan get at US conspiracy adiheartradio dot com.

681
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 6: Yes, well yeah, thoughts please please.

682
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: It is actually kind of a really tragic, sad story,

683
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 2: you guys, because they're the same SpaceX launch sent up

684
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: this lander and Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost, which is the

685
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 2: one that made it successfully the same launch. Both of

686
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: these were on that launch, and then I Space's lander

687
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 2: just kind of took a different route, a different way

688
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: to get to the moon and took a lot longer

689
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 2: than spent a whole month orbiting around the Moon before

690
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: it attempted landing. But it is kind of sad they

691
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: both went up, one of them worked, and then the

692
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: other one just lost.

693
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: Comms pooped out.

694
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 4: I can't remember we were talking about this on some show,

695
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: but it reminds me of you know, what we were

696
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 4: talking about with the discovery of morning routines on Ridiculous History.

697
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 4: This is the knee science and invention. I agree with you, Matt,

698
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 4: it's a really sad story. It also reminds me of

699
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 4: what we're talking about on that show. Imagine, if you will,

700
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 4: fellow conspiracy realist, how many people tried to invent a

701
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 4: plane or a method of flight and immediately died before

702
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 4: a plane was finally invented. This is the era we

703
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 4: are in right now. So not all of these initiatives

704
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 4: are going to meet their own metrics of success, but

705
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 4: each one contributes right to the ultimate success, so there

706
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 4: will there shoulders of giants.

707
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the ultimate success, which is our second

708
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: equally vital important update. Back in nineteen eighty seven, a

709
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: little company called Square invented a game called Final Fantasy. Okay,

710
00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: and there was just you know. Several years later, in

711
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 2: the early nineties, another organization called Wizards of the Coast

712
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 2: invented a little game called Magic the Gathering. And guess what, guys,

713
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: As of today, when you're hearing this, it's been two

714
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 2: or three days since the launch of Magic the Gathering

715
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: Final Fantasy. WHOA. Yeah, Now you may be thinking, oh,

716
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: that's another one of those MTG releases. It's just like, oh,

717
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: it's happy. It's just over here on the side. I'll

718
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 2: get those. I could collect them.

719
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: No, that's just another one of those MTG releases. That's

720
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 4: over there on that side, and it's happy. It's fun.

721
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 4: I'll collect them.

722
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: No, you're wrong, Ben. You can play with these. They

723
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 2: are tournament legal. It is a new set that you

724
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: could play Magic the Gathering movie and you can do

725
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: things like play Sid or Tifa or Cloud or there's

726
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: separa you can summon Odin or Leviathan, Omega, King mag

727
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: there's even a traveling chocobo. Now we're not sponsored Wizards

728
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 2: of the Coast, War Square, Onyx or any of these companies,

729
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 2: but this is the most exciting and vitally important thing

730
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: to happen in a long time.

731
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 4: Yes, sorry, North Korean warship. That's capsize.

732
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 5: Take that point though, And we talked about this a

733
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 5: little bit off air if you're into that stuff and

734
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 5: Final Fantasy and JRPG kind of term based stuff, and

735
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've heard about it if you're in that sphere.

736
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 5: This new French game, Clear Obscure Expedition thirty three is

737
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 5: absolutely next level and people are loving it all over

738
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 5: the place, and for good reason. It sort of like

739
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 5: updates those turn based mechanics and that Final Fantasy type

740
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 5: storytelling lore, and it's I think it's neat too, because

741
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 5: it's these this a lot of folks that got laid

742
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 5: off from Ubisoft, another giant French company that makes the

743
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 5: Assassin's Creed series, and you know them get a lot

744
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 5: of flack for kind of doing the same thing year

745
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 5: over year, and this company just shows that scrappy. I mean,

746
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 5: it is a big budget relatively speaking, but it is

747
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 5: still I think thirty people to the core team. It

748
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 5: just shows that that's when a game is great, that's

749
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 5: what people want. Sorry, end of rant.

750
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 6: The game, that's great, it's great.

751
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 4: We're unanimous on this.

752
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: Hey, uh, we're putting us on it for sure.

753
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 7: Yeah.

754
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 4: Max Williams, uh first of his name. We think we're

755
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 4: not going to check for other Max Williams. We picked

756
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 4: one and we're doing Highlander rules with that. This reminds me, guys,

757
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 4: I have here, Oh, I still have the Boy Scout

758
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 4: textbook there. I have here Magic the Gathering Kamigawa Neon

759
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 4: Dynasty set booster. Is this familiar to either you?

760
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 2: Guys? It's a killer set?

761
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 4: Is it a killer set?

762
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Shore we open it now if you want?

763
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, baby, all right, what's the good ones?

764
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,919
Speaker 6: Like the shiny ones? You like the shiny ones?

765
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 8: Right?

766
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: Is that what you want? Is that in magic or

767
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 3: just Pokemon?

768
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 2: You want that mythic alter alt art rare, baby, that's

769
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 2: what you're.

770
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 4: Looking for, mythic altart.

771
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 5: Folks out there having like repeated Nerd game right now,

772
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, okay, so just turn it off the show.

773
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 4: No, no, no, stay with us, folks. Uh, this is okay.

774
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 4: So there's a card here that doesn't do anything.

775
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 2: I think it's.

776
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 4: Art card, just art card.

777
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: Okay.

778
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 4: By the way, folks, Matt and Nolan are getting all

779
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: of these after the show. Uh, there's this basic land

780
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 4: we are going to be.

781
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: Doing video against in this so we got maybe we

782
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 5: got this is good practice and visual aids.

783
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 4: I like, so this is an imperial subduer. Okay, Okay,

784
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's good. Wait, you said Nolan,

785
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to look for foiling in.

786
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: The in the middle right hand side. You're going to

787
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: find the set icon. Okay, Okay, you're black ones. If

788
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: it's black, it is a common. If it's silvery, it's uncommon.

789
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: If it's gold, it's it's rare. If it's like a

790
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: goldish red color, then it's mythic. Bro.

791
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. I kind of I can see some

792
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 4: of them are black. Is that helpful? No, Okay, we're

793
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 4: gonna save this for the Uh, We're gonna save this

794
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 4: for whatever we hang out off air. There's a cool

795
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 4: and Cold suit up that has foil to Nol's question,

796
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: and then there's something called Life of Toshiro Umizawa, which

797
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: is something about sagas. This looks really complicated.

798
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 6: Actually, uh, it's like an educational card.

799
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 4: As this saga enters and after your drawstep at a

800
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: lore counter, I'm over my head. Okay, okay, all right,

801
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 4: I'll just you know what, I'll take a picture of

802
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 4: this and send it in the group.

803
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 2: Let's get back to get back to strange news stuff

804
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: that's not as vitally important, but we should be thinking about, guys.

805
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: Germany is preparing for World War three. Yes, full on god.

806
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 4: They've been spinning up for a while because the US

807
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 4: has abandoned NATO and Germany is the next, you know,

808
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 4: the next best thing.

809
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: There you go. Well, they are drawing up plans to

810
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: wrap expand their network of bomb proof bunkers and shelters.

811
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 2: They are currently warning at least several major important officials

812
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 2: within the country are warning that the state needs to

813
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: be prepared for an attack from Russia within the next

814
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: four years.

815
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 3: Fun, you'd love to see it.

816
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: Well, and they're also saying it will cost way too

817
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: much money to build like brand new facilities of these

818
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: types across the country. So what they're looking at is

819
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 2: pinpointing tunnels, metro stations, underground garages, car parks, and sellers

820
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 2: of public buildings to turn those into bomb shelters, and

821
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 2: then trying to come up with a way to alert

822
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 2: citizens of which bomb shelters are closest to them in

823
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 2: the event of literally, I mean you have to imagine

824
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 2: a nuclear attack. That's what these are.

825
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 4: For entering a wartime economy and infrastructure. Right, it's a

826
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 4: new kind of gentrification. Well, it's not really a new

827
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 4: kind of gentrification. The US and Europe did it in

828
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 4: the past, but it is concent learning because Matt, from

829
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 4: my understanding, there's a lot of money going into this

830
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 4: with a pretty aggressive timeline.

831
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, these are estimates from government officials. Okay, this

832
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: guy named Tisler, he has said that roughly ten billion

833
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 2: euros would be needed over four years to basically cover

834
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 2: all the civil defense needs that they've got, and around

835
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 2: thirty billion euros over the course of ten years.

836
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 5: Well, Germany's nothing if not prepared. That's sort of a

837
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 5: thing that they're historically, i mean, just in general they're

838
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 5: all about.

839
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're also tying here about building up a and

840
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: establishing a compulsory slash maybe voluntary civil protection service, and

841
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 2: they urged all citizens to contribute to making the country

842
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: more resilient by stocking up on emergency supplies in the

843
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: case of power and water shortages. Again, the thinking here

844
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 2: is if there's an attack in a neighboring country really

845
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 2: close by, and water or power gets disrupted for one

846
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 2: reason or another, and then you know, if there's an invasion.

847
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 4: It's a little posse comitatas uh, like we have here

848
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 4: in the US. But the yeah, and also to that point,

849
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 4: note what Matt is saying, their folks, is not the

850
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 4: same as compulsory military service. This is a CPS civil

851
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 4: protection Yeah.

852
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, just training training people for things that or may

853
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: not happen in the end. It's muscle memory, right, Okay.

854
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 4: Guys, we are just some folks who hang out and

855
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 4: have fun on the weekends.

856
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 2: May guys, the last thing I wanted to talk about,

857
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: we don't. I'm not going to go into all the

858
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 2: details here, but a very interesting thing occurred in central Florida,

859
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 2: right around the area that we've talked about many a

860
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 2: time on this show.

861
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 8: Uh.

862
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how you say it, Osacola, Osaciola County,

863
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: I don't kid. It's south of Orlando, it is part

864
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: of it is partly owned by Waltsney or Disney and

865
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 2: all that stuff.

866
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 4: The Creek Improvement District with.

867
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: Some interesting stuff down there. Well, guys, a sheriff in

868
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 2: this part of town was arrested recently, I think last week,

869
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: on charges of racketeering and conspiracy of what the state

870
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: described as a massive gambling operation. Guys, let's just talk

871
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: about this. This gentleman, Sheriff Marcos Lopez, he allegedly took

872
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 2: campaign contributions and personal payments like to do this whole thing,

873
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 2: as well as protected the gambling operation, you know, with

874
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 2: the Sheriff's office, which is generally looked down upon. They're

875
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: saying that this was a lottery situation they were running.

876
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 2: They're running slot machines and a quote gambling house out

877
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: of a business called Fusion Social Club in Kissime, Florida,

878
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 2: which if you've ever traveled down in those ways, like

879
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: to maybe visit parts of Orlando for some dizzy stuff,

880
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: you've probably been through. Kissing me again. We've talked about

881
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 2: many a time. The organization, according to officials, took in

882
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 2: twenty one point six million dollars in illicit proceeds. Pretty nice,

883
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 2: but that's really it, guys. Just see if there's any

884
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 2: updates there, see what's going on. Always nice when the

885
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: local law enforcement is in cahoots with some kind of

886
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 2: some kind of organized crime.

887
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 4: Who hasn't had some hot dice, you know what I mean,

888
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 4: who hasn't been at the table, had a seventeen and

889
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 4: just said hit me.
