00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: just going down to clearly get dick, And I am

65
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: impressed because Loving the Caribbean is not like that, Like

66
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: it's legitimately people who are like I was in Jamaica

67
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: for two weeks and it was the most beautiful time

68
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: in my life, and so I was just having all

69
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: the raw sex in the world and I got pregnant.

70
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: And now I'm trying to convince his Canna moved to

71
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: America because happy Baby. I actually think it's incredible and

72
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: it reminds me of the early days of ninety day fiance,

73
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: Like it's just people who you wish they could get

74
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: it together, but they can't get out of their own way,

75
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: right Versus now we just have like demented abusers and

76
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: things like yeah, and you're just like, yeah, people who

77
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: clearly hate each other, and you're just like, please stop

78
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: like encouraging Angela to do this to this man. Yeah,

79
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: for herself. Sorry are they they're not bringing the couples together.

80
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: The couples are together in the first place, and then yeah, okay, God,

81
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: these are people who would be making these mistakes without

82
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: without a camera. The added benefit of it all being

83
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: documented and we can feel better by comparison about our

84
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: terrible life decisions. That's the whole point of these show.

85
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, We're gonna get to know you a

86
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we are going

87
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: to tell the listeners just a few of the things

88
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: we're talking about. The Texas Supreme Court has sided with

89
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: Governor Abbott about whether or not you can mandate masks.

90
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: I'll give you one guess as to which side they're on.

91
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: And a gop state Supreme Court, I wonder. Yeah, but

92
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: fortunately some of the county officials you're just ignoring the

93
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: ship out of them. But we'll talk about that. We'll

94
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: talk about how to embrace fake meat. We will talk

95
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: about the new grift, which is musicals. James o'keith starring

96
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: in a musical which we've all been waiting for his

97
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: musical theater debut after the Prince Lips Thinking video. We'll

98
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: talk about just the horrifying scenes coming out of Afghanistan,

99
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about Taco Bell if we have

100
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: a little a little time, we'll have time to talk.

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: We gotta get Taco Bell because they're introducing like futuristic

102
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: drive throughs that look like Daft Punk designed a car wash.

103
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: It's like four lane drive throughs that are all angular

104
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: and like they're fishing fishing, We're going vertical. All of

105
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, actually we like to ask

106
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: our guest, what is something from your search history? Oh?

107
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: Something from my search history? I okay, I was looking

108
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: and literally my search history for the past like three

109
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: days is all just the names of bars from Bar

110
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: Rescue because I've I've been obsessed with like this bar

111
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: Rescue marathon. And then I just spend the entire day

112
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: just going I wonder if that would still exists, And

113
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: then I'm just googling like fifth and Vine, the Russ,

114
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: like all these ridiculous names he comes up with for

115
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: the like companies. One was like the Copper Rocket. He

116
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: changed like a thriving bar into the Copper Rocket. It

117
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: didn't survive. Yeah, what I mean? Did you? So? I'm

118
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: guessing you also? Are you watch bart Rescue too? Oh? Yeah,

119
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: ye myself I mentioned this because did you see that

120
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: clip of him on Laura ingram I did where he's

121
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: like workers are like dogs and you hit the star bunk,

122
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: three dogs obedient and it's like, oh no, But like

123
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: if you watch bar Rescue, it's like he could have

124
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: said worse, Like if you watch bar Rescue, he will

125
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: be like, say, you're a dumb idiot sandwich in front

126
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: of your grandmother, Like tell your father, you're a failure,

127
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: tell him, tell him, tell him now. So like, honestly,

128
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: for John Taffer, like that was him trying to probably

129
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: make a compliment like for his scale of like what

130
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: is okay to say? Have you seen any bars that

131
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: you know on bar Rescue? Because there was one in

132
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: the valley that I grew up like never going to

133
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: because it was like the old, washed, like elderly bar

134
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: that were just like we're not going in there. That

135
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: it was like then it was on and I was like,

136
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like inside. But it's always a

137
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: startling thing when you see a local bar in there. Yeah,

138
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: they did one in Chicago and like I mean River

139
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: and North, which is literally just where tourists hang out,

140
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: and they were like we're going to turn this into

141
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: the local and make it like a bar where local

142
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: Chicago people want to go. And I lived in Chicago

143
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: for seven years. No one goes to that place, Like

144
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: it is just full of tourists who are like, oh

145
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: my god, I want to go to the bar from

146
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: the Bar Rescue episode, right right right? Yeah? Wait, which

147
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: one was it before it became the local? What was

148
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: the vibe in that place? Was it where they had

149
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: all the art, the musicians and ship in there. Yeah,

150
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: like it was something like beats and notes or something

151
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: like that, like some jazzer name and they have musicians.

152
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: And he was just like, this is disgusting. Music doesn't

153
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: make money like that, Like a like had like this

154
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: like artistic disposition with like we wanted a place for

155
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: people who do are like, but you're broke. Yeah, and

156
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: he's like, it's what's more important sending your daughter to

157
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: college or putting art on your walls. And it's like,

158
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: that's that's how John Taversy is the world. It's that's amazing. Yeah,

159
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: it's like that Quincy Jones quote that God leaves the

160
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: room when like the question of commercialism enters the conversation,

161
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Like he is the opposite. So just God leaves the

162
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: room every time ever known God. It's amazing the things

163
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: they'll do to just be like, I don't give a

164
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: shit about the culture of this bar. What you want.

165
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: There was one it's like a pipe like he came

166
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: into a pirate bar that was run by literal like

167
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: pirate hippies who were like, we love dressing up his

168
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: pirates in our free time. Like this was clearly their

169
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: passion project. And he came in and renamed the bar

170
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: the corporate, like just shipping and just named it the corporate,

171
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: made a giant logo of a man in a suit

172
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: and was like, we want business people to know this

173
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: place about the business, and like the pirate waiters just

174
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: like couldn't get it together. They're just like, Milady, what

175
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: would you like for dinner? And he's just like you

176
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: need to be normal and then they all like stormed out.

177
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: She closed it down three days later. Yeah. That was

178
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: in Yeah, in Maryland. I believe. I remember that very

179
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: vividly because I knew people from Silver Spring, and I'm like,

180
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, do you know this bar? Do

181
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: you know this bar? Of it? Like that episode came

182
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: out nine years ago. I'm right, right, Okay, Yeah, I

183
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: mean there's like like I google every bar, and there's

184
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: like dedicated websites to like bar rescue updates where they

185
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: tell you everything that happens the corporate and Copper Rocket

186
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: I think. I feel like I don't watch the show,

187
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: but it sounds like he's over too, and it sounds

188
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: like he also prides himself on like being sweet at naming. Yeah,

189
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: he's like I know exactly what he's like. Rocket sounds

190
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: like a steampunk like sex toy. Yeah, I thought I

191
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: I thought of something like a mechanical dog. Penis is

192
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: like right right, bring out the copper and then sometimes

193
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: he'll change the name of the bar, but he like

194
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: won't get them a new liquor license under the the

195
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: right like the new name, and then they have to

196
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: close down and they get screwed over. Like three of

197
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: the bars they were like, yeah, he just like changed

198
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: our name and got us a new sign and all

199
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: of it was illegal, right, because we can't do business

200
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: as this thing because okay, so little light Oprah kind

201
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: of thing where people got the car and then they

202
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: didn't realize I had to pay the tax Yeah, they

203
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: had to pay the taxes. It's yeah, So there was

204
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: just a I wonder if he was on Laura Ingram

205
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: to like raise awareness of the bar rescue marathon, like

206
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: if that's why he was there. Honestly, probably because that

207
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: is all they show on Paramount, like the channel, Like

208
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: there's a whole TV channel that just plays bar rescue

209
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: all day. There you go. Yeah, he went on Laura

210
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: the Ingram Angle to drag wage workers and then also

211
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: and also just give some press a little bumped yeah,

212
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: to just John Taver's most embarrassing manager moments. What is

213
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Actually overrated? You know, I

214
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go right now everybody's talking about it.

215
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with the White Lotus. Well,

216
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spoil anything, but I just feel like

217
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: three episodes in, I'm going to keep watching. But yeah,

218
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: and there's the thing. I think it's the internet seemed

219
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: to be like that. I think it's an incredible show

220
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: and it's a good show, but apparently people were watching

221
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: this thing thinking it was gonna like give us the

222
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: key to like saving native lands in Hawaii and like

223
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: teach us how to end racism. That that's like apparently

224
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: what people thought this show was gonna they had high expectations,

225
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: and in that regard, I think maybe it was a

226
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: bit overrated. I watched it. I'm want seen these first

227
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: the episodes, and I'm like, look at these fun people, right,

228
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: and you're it's just supposed to be like, let's enjoy

229
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: the pathology of these like crazy white people and like

230
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: just the crazy things that rich white people do. And

231
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: instead people are like, wait a second. I thought, Mike

232
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: whit Us like save us, Like what is this message?

233
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: It's yeah, I know it's it's crazy white people, right,

234
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: you give yourself to yeah, the right reasons to watch it. Um.

235
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: I think we will be recommending that for our streaming

236
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: corner this week because yeah, we've all been watching it

237
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: and being like this ship is more than anything like

238
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: the outside of the show. I'm just so I love

239
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: Jennifer Coolidge. I've loved her since Best in Show when

240
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: she that was like one of the first things I

241
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: was like, I'm Coolidge Gang from Best in Show onward

242
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: and watching her in this I'm mostly coming for the

243
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: Jennifer Coolidge if I'm gonna be real, but like everything,

244
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: but I stay for the rest of the mess. But

245
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: she's been fucking unbelievably good and she's such a great

246
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: perform Yeah, people feel like always seen she's like that too. Yeah,

247
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: when you're like, no, Jennifer Coolidge is a fucking artist, man,

248
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: He's like some of the best actresses. Like she gets

249
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: into these characters and people like, no, she just kind

250
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: of seems like a bimbo, And it's like watching an interview,

251
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: watch an interview, really, come on. I feel like, as

252
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: somebody who curates opinions of TV shows that I haven't watched,

253
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: it feels like the White Lotus has followed the same

254
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: path as the undoing that Nicole Kidman Hugh Grant thing,

255
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: where it was like everybody was really into it and

256
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: talking about it and then everyone was disappointed by the

257
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: last episode. Yeah, it's it's kind of a thing where

258
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: people are like, oh my god, is this some larger

259
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: message about the privileges of like white men and blah

260
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: blah blah, and then it's like no, it's just like

261
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: a really kind of basic story, like yeah, just you know,

262
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: and it's entertaining and enjoyable, but I think you just

263
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: have to like lower your expectations. And the thing with

264
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: White Lotus was that so many people were like I

265
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: relate to these characters, like how can they just like

266
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: be bad people? And I that's where it's like, oh no,

267
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: maybe you should reflect on that. That wasn't a joke. Okay,

268
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: sarcastic when you said it to like the whiny girl

269
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: who hates her whole life just because her husbands rich, Like, okay,

270
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: we've all been there, you know. Anyway, I gotta make

271
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: an open mic. What what's something you think is underrated?

272
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: I like hate to go all TV, but I mean

273
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: that's that's what I do. I just only know TV,

274
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: and I have to go underrated. There's this show on

275
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: TLC called You, Me and My Ex. It's crazy and

276
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: like everyone has been like this is bad, like this

277
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: is horrible TV, and I'm obsessed with it. It's like,

278
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: actually the finale that I'm looking forward to more than

279
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: the White Lotus. I I am just so into this show.

280
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: That is just like people who are in relationships but

281
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: have very unhealthy connections with their exes, like their X

282
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: will come and like live with them, or like they

283
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: face time with their ex boyfriend every day even though

284
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: they're now like engaged to a woman. And I feel

285
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: like people need to give it more credit because it

286
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: is probably the most interesting human study of the last

287
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: like ten years. Whenever I see promos for it, it

288
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: felt like it was it was so aggressively produced, because

289
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, how the funk could you find someone who

290
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: is like I'm in a relationship with this guy and

291
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: we live with his ex and you're watching like just

292
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: how toxic and unhealthy and unsustainable it is, and you're like,

293
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: these people can't be fucking real, but you're saying you

294
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: watch it and you're like, oh my god, they really

295
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: are this fucking it. They do a good job of

296
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: like finding couples where it's like they have a reason

297
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: to still be in each other's lives, like they have

298
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: kids or something, so it's a little like, okay, like

299
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: this isn't too forced. Like when I was like, oh,

300
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the sperm donor for my ex wife

301
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: who's now a lesbian, and it's like, Okay, they have

302
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: like pretty good reasoning for why they want him to

303
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: be the sperm donor and they're still like kind of involved,

304
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: and it's like mostly people who have healthy boundaries. And

305
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: then there are kind of the couples where it's like

306
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: they like, like two of the couples go on in

307
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: RV trip together and there's no reason for them to

308
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: like share in RV. Like it's just like you can tell.

309
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: A producer was like, it would be a good idea

310
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: if you all were just like in the me together

311
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: so we could shoot it. And that's when it's a

312
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: little like, Okay, this is like overproduced drama, Like what

313
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: that that part? Okay? Yeah, but like there's good stuff.

314
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: There's like also the part where there's this guy who

315
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: like he met this woman and they went on like

316
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: two dates and then he got sick with COVID and

317
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: was in the hospital for like nine months. Ex wife

318
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: like moved back in with him to take care of

319
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: their like five kids. He gets out of the hospital,

320
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: moves back home, and the first thing he does, he's

321
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: like that girl I went on two dates with, I

322
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: want to move her into the house because I think

323
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm in love with her. Whoa And he's like he

324
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: like he's like, oh, my daughter shares my bed sometimes,

325
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: so you can't sleep with me. And he like puts

326
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: an air mattress in a closet for and then and

327
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: he like he's like no, this is like a good idea,

328
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: Like why wouldn't you want because my closet, like this

329
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: is great, and that's like, oh this is excellent. Tell yeah, okay,

330
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm in now, I'm in. I mean the closet. I

331
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: feel like I don't know in our dating lives, like

332
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: I've definitely gone out and then someone's like, oh, yeah,

333
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: like I still live with my ex, but it's like

334
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: all good, like we're in the process, like they're they're

335
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: about to move out or whatever, and I'm like, okay,

336
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: I could vibe with that. One time, I had a

337
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: friend who straight up went home with somebody on a

338
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: date and they're like, okay when you go and speak

339
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: quiet because my ex is asleep in the other room,

340
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: and he's like wait what and then found out like

341
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: at the threshold what the situation is. It's like he's mine,

342
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: we've been broken up for like a couple of months now,

343
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: but just he gets really cranky, so like, let's really quiet.

344
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: When we walked through, it's just kind of really really

345
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: angry guy. Yeah, where he's like five too, though he's harmless. Yeah,

346
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I hear about this more than I

347
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: would expect, like that we we just ambiently heard about

348
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: it through like Wayne Brady the fact that he lives

349
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: with his wife and her dance too. Yeah, but like, yeah,

350
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I just hear about it all the time and like

351
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: people's daily lives because I think, you know, rent is hard,

352
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: like finding a place is hard. So there's definitely a

353
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: lot of over left there. Yeah, I get the servia,

354
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: but like the ones where it's someone who's just like,

355
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: I just can't quit you decision, and there's there's Yeah,

356
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: there's like one couple where the X wives became like

357
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: best friends and they're doing like nude photo shoots together,

358
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: and the guy is like, why is my new wife

359
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: like doing a nude bathroom photo shoot with my ex wife? Like,

360
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, but that's how some people heal. Yeah, we

361
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: all have our own ways of moving on. That sounds incredible,

362
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: So go check out you, me and my ex. Y'all. Um,

363
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

364
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: And we're back, and let's talk about masking laws around

365
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: the country, specifically Texas, where they are basically run by Republicans.

366
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: All the all the big office holders, all the big yeah,

367
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: are all Republicans, and despite what like present tense science

368
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: is showing us they're just like nag can't, can't, can't

369
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: tell us what to do, yeah, the name of personal freedom.

370
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about how there have been

371
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: small little acts of rebellion in Florida and Texas where

372
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: people are like, I don't give a funk, with the

373
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: governor is saying like this sounds like absolutely assinine and

374
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: dangerous to be like, dude, you're not gonna can't can't

375
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: force people to do what's safe for everyone. That's absurd.

376
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: And now we're seeing a little bit of pushback. So

377
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: we talked about how two counties basically said we don't

378
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: give a funk, we're gonna mandate masks in schools. Fucking

379
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: come come see me then, and apparently the Supreme Court did.

380
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Governor Abbott was like, hey, Supreme Court, they're trying to

381
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: flunt my like my anti mandate mandate, and they essentially

382
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: blocked this initial mandate from Bexar in Dallas Counties, and like,

383
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: these are some of the biggest school districts in the

384
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: state that they represent, so you know, it makes sense

385
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: why they want to keep it safe. So some commentary

386
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: from officials there, the city attorney in Bexar County, Andy Segovia,

387
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: said that quote he said, first of all, the mandate

388
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: remains in effect, and quote the City of San Antonio

389
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: and Bexar Counties response to the Texas Supreme Court continues

390
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: to emphasize that the governor cannot use his emergency powers

391
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: is to spend laws that provide local entities the needed

392
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: flexibility to act in an emergency. Okay, that that makes sense.

393
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: And then in Dallas, the superintendent of the independent Dallas

394
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: Independent School District said, you know, funk it, We're not

395
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: We don't give a funk with the court said like,

396
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: there's how can you say, well, we can't do this,

397
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 1: This doesn't make sense to quote, we're going to have

398
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: the mask mandate tomorrow. We're going to be benevolent, we're

399
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: going to be nice, but we're going to be firm

400
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: and we're going to enforce it. So yeah, I mean

401
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: at a certain point, can they just be like, we're

402
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: going to do it from home. Then like if you

403
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: if you insist on not letting people wear masks while

404
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: we're in like we'll go back to feel like that's

405
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: worse than the mask mandate, right, because because Texas is

406
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: so like we refuse to believe this. A lot of

407
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: school districts aren't even offering at home options, like you

408
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: have to be in school because it's all you know,

409
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Like if you think about all the dynamics, right, it's

410
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: like they want the kids back in school to alleviate

411
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: the pressure on the adults that are workers, so they

412
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: don't have to be at home with their kids. There

413
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: looks less of a crunch for the childcare because they're

414
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: at school again. But then on top of that, if

415
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: you do the mask, then you're reminding people that the

416
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: COVID rates are going out of control, which could which

417
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: could create another lockdown, which obviously entities like the Chamber

418
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: of Commerce absolutely hate because they've been like do we

419
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: have to keep the revenue following? So no matter what,

420
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: everything is just sort of linked to this idea of

421
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: like never wanting to acknowledge that it's bad enough that

422
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: something has to be done for the sake of just

423
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: letting business rip um or business usual. I mean, I

424
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: get why it's better for the anti vax or parents

425
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: to like have their kids at school. I'm just wondering, like,

426
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: can they if it's not a mandate, can they just

427
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: be like, well, you're not allowed in our school, Like

428
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: what just go from home? Then, I don't know. And

429
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: the governor, along with all these other rules, also put

430
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: in place rules where the school districts can't tell parents

431
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: if if kids test positive for COVID, they can't share

432
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: the number of students who have tested positive for COVID.

433
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: So it's like you, as a parent, even if you

434
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: don't want to send your kid in, you don't really

435
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: have the information needed to be like oh, I should

436
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: keep my kid at home or like oh, the numbers

437
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: are going off the chart because they're just like nope,

438
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Like how did you get those numbers? Yeah, Like the

439
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: governor says it's a secret, like we're not to say. Yeah,

440
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: he's though, despite the numbers going up, and also finding

441
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: out that he's been asking for assistance from outside the

442
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: state because the situation just becomes increasingly dire. It's like

443
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: so much you know, someone's double double speak and just

444
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: lack of acknowledgement happening that Yeah, it's just yeah, chaos

445
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: still continues. Yeah, I'm a fifth generation Texan, Like my

446
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: whole family is in Dallas, and I feel like I

447
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: don't know, It's like the perfect example of just everything

448
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: Texas is like on the one side, you have these

449
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: people who are like, we're never gonna wear our masks,

450
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: and then the other side at these people who are like,

451
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: we will do whatever we have to do to wear

452
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: these masks, Like we don't care, we have to go

453
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court and fight you, we don't. I know.

454
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: In Houston they like some people, they did a restraining

455
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 1: order against the governor, yeah, so that they prevent him

456
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: from like being able to like, you know, do anything

457
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: about people wearing masks. So I just feel like it's

458
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: just like the two like staunches, like just the most

459
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: stubborn sides, like fighting against each other, right in the

460
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: stubbornest state and the most again, the most stubborn state,

461
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: and everybody's just kind of like I don't know what

462
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: to do, right, all right, let's talk let's talk some

463
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 1: fake meat. We we know that the copper rocket, the

464
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: cop cket cover rocket, that's right. We know that, you know,

465
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: the factory farming in the meat sector is a huge

466
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: contributor to climate change, and that changing air its can

467
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: help slow down the rise of temperatures, and just generally,

468
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's mainly the oil companies that can

469
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: slow down, and you know, massively powerful corporations and governments

470
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: that can slow it down. But definitely changes to our

471
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: diets can help are are step in the right direction.

472
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, so so people are doing a study about

473
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: just like what happens when you offer you know, the

474
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: better fake meat impossible and beyond in the market, because

475
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk about saying, like whoa when

476
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: the fake meat reaches the same price as regular meat,

477
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: because right now, like you know, are impossible just like

478
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: kind of reduce their prices to sort of encourage more

479
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: consumption of impossible meat. But a lot of people like

480
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, speculating around like when when is there going

481
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: to be a tipping point where these like these alternative

482
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 1: meats become you know, more highly adopted. And again it's

483
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: always been about price. They said, if if it becomes

484
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: just as cheap as beef, then will probably begin to

485
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: see an uptake in it. And like right now, a

486
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: lot of people project that alternative meats could be around

487
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: up to between eleven and two of global meat eating.

488
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: Right now, it's like not even it's like a not

489
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: even fraction of a percent. So you know what is

490
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a flip of a light switch type change.

491
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: Well it's you know, it's not so easy. So this

492
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: student who was working on their PhD project at u

493
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: c l A sort of used the dining hall u

494
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: c l A as her experimental lab because at the

495
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: u c l A dining hall, impossible meat and like

496
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: a regular beef, they're off. Those items are offered at

497
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: the exact same price, so there's nothing more expensive to

498
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: go for the like meat alternative. And so what she

499
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: saw was when they sort of unrolled or began to

500
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: premier these impossible meat tackles and burritos and salads and

501
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: things like that, students about nine percent fewer animal based entrees.

502
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: But on the other side of it was sales of

503
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: vegetarian meals declined by four percent. And so this is

504
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: something a lot of experts have feared, was that essentially

505
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 1: that it's sort of reinforcing this idea that we have

506
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: a meat center diet no matter what, like, well, if

507
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: it's not real meat, there needs to be fake meat

508
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: because you've gotta have meat in your diet, not not

509
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: really people saying oh, we don't. We can also embrace

510
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: like staple vegetables as well, and there was like this again,

511
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: a food eating trend being seen from They looked at

512
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: when chicken and seafood became more available than other meats,

513
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: American didn't. Americans didn't eat less beef or pork per capita.

514
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: They just ate more meat overall. And that's what's happening

515
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: around the world. We're like exporting this thing. So it's

516
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: it's tricky. Yeah, I mean I feel like I fall

517
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: in line with that where I I get impossible burgers

518
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: when I want an impossible burger, Like, hey, I will

519
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: just crave that. It's not that I'm like, oh, this

520
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: is me making a more healthy choice. It's just like

521
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm like, no, I wanted impossible burger, so I'll

522
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: do that, and I'm not helping the world. Yeah, I'm

523
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: the same. I love I love impossible. That's my favorite

524
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: of the meat alternatives. But the way we all work

525
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: is people and just how things are marketed to us.

526
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: It's clear, especially for Americans, like the idea of meat

527
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: being a thing you eat to have your complete diet

528
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: has just been like just rammed into our skulls from birth,

529
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of the experts like it's not just

530
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: so much as being able to offer cheap alternatives to beef.

531
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: It's like we have to de emphasize it to like

532
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: culturally in saying like yeah, like when you do, you know,

533
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: your fake food pyramid for kids, like not having to

534
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: sort of reinforce the ideas like you've gotta be eating

535
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: that beef though, you know what I mean if you

536
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: want to grow kids, because it's not exactly getting the

537
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: same outcomes. And also, like we have a lot of

538
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: subsidies the government. There's a lot of government subsidies that

539
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: sort of keep this industry operating in the same suboptimal

540
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 1: way that it is. So more than that, it's like

541
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: we gotta kind of legislate this stuff to make it

542
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: work properly. But yeah, you know, I mean to make

543
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: the food pyramid that we grew up on include two

544
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: to three daily servings of meat, Yeah, probably, I'm pretty sure.

545
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, it's like you should have me

546
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: at the bottom is just all bread stuff. It's like

547
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: like there's like twelve servings of bread and then it

548
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: like makes space at the top for in some sweets,

549
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, candy, which I don't think is like a

550
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: necessary part of any diet. Yeah, candy, yeah, I mean

551
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: it's part of like for like more of like a

552
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: happiness diet. You know, give yourself a little candy. But

553
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows the way that how these sort

554
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: of f d A charts are like created you. I'm

555
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: surprised it wasn't like and you gotta have three Hershey

556
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: bars every week too to keep your bones strong. But

557
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: as a kid, that is how I saw. I'd be like, mom,

558
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: look at the top of the pyramid it has he's

559
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: a candy of you gotta have dessert. That is like

560
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: a mandatory. It's an impossible amount of food. Speaking of impossible,

561
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, six to eleven servings of bread, cereal, rice,

562
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: and pasta. That's so many fun what eleving serving? I

563
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: would be like, I wouldn't be able to move if

564
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: I had eleven servings of and like the secret here

565
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: the reason they're able to get away with this is

566
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: because like a serving is actually really small. But that's

567
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: but you won't know that, you, Okay, a slice of

568
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: bread is one serving. So let me eat this half

569
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: a loaf, eat five pineapples, three heads of cabbage for

570
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: fucking big turkey, legs, a cheese wheel and a little

571
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: drizzle of maple syrup on it right there. It's like

572
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: this idea that you can eat your way to healthiness,

573
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 1: like by just getting all these different things in and

574
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: it's just like, actually, the thing that needs to be

575
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: emphasized is like eating a little bit less we consume.

576
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a thing. It's it's it's all a

577
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: great funnel to just get people to like consume, consume, consume, consume.

578
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're big fans of live musical theater

579
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: here at Daily Zeitgeist, and we got a new one

580
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: on it that just popped up on our radar. It's

581
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: a performance of Oklahoma, and it stars James O'Keefe. Yeah,

582
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: one of miles you were saying, one of your favorite

583
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: musical theater, one of my favorite conservative grifters, James O'Keeffe.

584
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you remember around the early part of

585
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: my political career, he hit we hit the scene at

586
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: the same time around two thousand nine, because he he

587
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: got famous for smearing that group Acorn, like he really

588
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: doctored killing it. Yeah, yeah, you know, I mean he

589
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: essentially got them to pull like their federal funding and

590
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: collapsed it until afterwards people in investigation like this guy

591
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: edited the funk out of these videos and completely misrepresented

592
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: what happened, but he was still like god him, Yes,

593
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: that's did you get for helping Obama? Was essentially the

594
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: thrust of his motivation. And then if you remember, then

595
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: he went on to bigger things. There's Project Veritas, which

596
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: is like that same stupid investigative organization quote unquote, just

597
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: a group of assholes with some fucking sackler money or whatever,

598
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: whoever the fun they're getting their money. One of the

599
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: one of the best like names of an evil org

600
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: like projects, Yeah, you gotta love it. And then the

601
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: one of the last ones was when Roy Moore was

602
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: running for senator in Alabama and everyone's like, this guy

603
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: is a fucking sex criminal, and yet the GOP was like, yeah, maybe, no,

604
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: no, no no, he's our best shot. Though, so don't want

605
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: to just ignore all the other allegations about let's just

606
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: go straight ahead. O'Keefe tried to set sting the Washington

607
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: Post with a fake accuser to get them to run

608
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: a story, but because their journalists like they just very

609
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: quickly determined that this person was fake and then counter

610
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: stung him and got him on video being like you

611
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: tried it and you didn't do it, so funck off.

612
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: And he's also banned from Twitter. Anyway, all that to

613
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: say is I think he won them a pulitzer, by

614
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: the way. After that, he like just made made a

615
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: bunch of people's career by being like so bad at

616
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: the staff, right, Yeah, And so then he got banned

617
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: from Twitter because he's just a big misinformation spreader and

618
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: he he had this track come out. I don't know

619
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: if we covered it to the tune of Prince's controversy,

620
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: but it was, oh the garky, And I just want

621
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: to refresh everyone's memory just briefly, because I wonder remind

622
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: people he is not talented and he shouldn't be doing

623
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: anything up here promoting misinformation. Reporters that the Portas Project

624
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: Aratas was part of the porting to Stanford restsform disinformation.

625
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: So this video is him James O'Keeffe like wearing the

626
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: lamest outfit. Like he's got like black jeans, black belt,

627
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: black T shirt on and there's a lot of Korea. Yeah,

628
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: it looks it's very like everyone else's just in T shirts.

629
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: And then he's like Danny Yeah, it's Sandra Dee and

630
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: in the final part of Greece when she comes back edgy. Yeah,

631
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: but if that was being performed by history is worst

632
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: dancing with the star contestant. He looks so uncomfortable and

633
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: is just like you can see that he's consciously placing

634
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: his hand with every movement, like as somebody who's very

635
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: self conscious about my hands. I I see a fellow

636
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: person who doesn't know what to do with their hands.

637
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: It's important to know he has a boom box on

638
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Yeah, and that's how that's how you know

639
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: this is something musical. And then there's like some I

640
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: just want to play a little bit of his dancing

641
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: really quick. Okay, it's not good. It's Wait, so are

642
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: they saying because they are organization that is funded by billionaires?

643
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: Like what is he thinking oligarchy is? Come on? Well,

644
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: well Jack, come on, I didn't come with a you

645
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: or something going on. I'm just so confused. What what

646
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: does he think the oligarchy is? He's you know how

647
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: it's always with conservatives. It's selective, right, so you only

648
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: acknowledge the oligarchy that is diametrically opposed to your belief

649
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: system rather than the one that you are sort of

650
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: being fungt by. Right, he has upside down Twitter logo,

651
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: so I imagine they're the oligarchy. Yeah, because they banned him, Yeah,

652
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: because they banned him, right, right, So that's why, that's

653
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: why he had to get mad at Yeah, you might

654
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: have missed that little bit of symbolism in the video.

655
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: It was pretty subtle because at first he was he

656
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: was doing like a leg move that looked like what

657
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: happens if I was sitting on the toilet for too

658
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: long and my leg went to sleep and I had

659
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: to stand up to get it going again. But I

660
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: guess that's dancing for him. But Robin Panakia at Wanquet

661
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: sort of pointed out this new thing that he's into

662
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: because I hadn't seen it. This This guy, Brian Clothe

663
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: this posted a tweet right that says, for a while

664
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: I thought I would never create again. But I kept

665
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: going and refused to let the woke mobs steal what

666
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: I do best. We'll get to that in a second.

667
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: Create art. Now, I'm officially back in the rehearsal room,

668
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: giving fellow canceled artists jobs and with James O'Keefe as

669
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: my leading man. Nonetheless, it's thrilling. And he posted a

670
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: little clip from their rehearsal from Oklahoma, and again, James

671
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: O'Keefe is a give. He's putting it all on the

672
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: line for this rehearsal. So here's a quick quick taste

673
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: of James O'Keefe in some I don't know version of

674
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: some fucked up production of Oklahoma. This is the choreography

675
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: is awful. We don't know what's happening. Okay, let me

676
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: just spare everyone. Let me just spare everyone. That was

677
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: That was some sloppy community theater and they chose he

678
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: put that out. The guy was putting the show on

679
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: put that out. But that wasn't like a leak video

680
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: like it has the It has the vibe of like

681
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: that Mitt Romney, like somebody's somebody snuck into one of

682
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: those fundraisers to hear what he really thinks about poor

683
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: people type ship. But there, this is the best they've looked.

684
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: I will they did have the vocals. I will say, yeah,

685
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: there's some ringers in there. I mean the one guy

686
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: who looked like the like proud boy who like you're

687
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: not sure why he joined the Proud Boys but he

688
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: clearly cut his hair to be one like he looked

689
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: like he was. Probably he knows how to perform a

690
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 1: bit along with like the retired like truck driver guy.

691
00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: This cast is truly an ensemble cast canceled our right,

692
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: So to that point, right, Brian clots like who is

693
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: this guy? Being like, Oh, I'm thank god I get to,

694
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, give canceled artists a platform. This man is

695
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: a First of all, he's a political candidate for the

696
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: Florida House and also a disgraced theater director, which I

697
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: feel like they sound like prerequisites for each other, Like

698
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: you can't run for Florida House unless you are a

699
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: disgraced theater director, and you can't be a disgrace theater

700
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: director unless you ran for the Florida State legislature at

701
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: some point. But this guy, he has basically been He

702
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: was outed from a theater company that he started because

703
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: he just has this like abusive and hyper demanding directing

704
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: style that everyone's like, this is counterintuitive to actually making arts.

705
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: So I just want to point a couple of things out.

706
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: First of all, he did a sexy version of Pocahontas,

707
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: which he said was much realer to like reality than

708
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: like most people would believe. And one of the people

709
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: who was performing there, I think who was playing pocon

710
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: Is said quote. Reported that during rehearsals, she had several

711
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: calls with Quotas, who told her that he wanted to

712
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: quote happy version of Pocahon's life, sent notes about making

713
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: the title character quote sexier and insisted on adding upbeat

714
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: songs for more disney esque version. Also several there were

715
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: there were several ocean violations that they saw occurring during

716
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: this production, but when she expressed concerns, she said a

717
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: production manager threatened her with violence in a production meeting. Yeah,

718
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: this dude was like getting a lot of positive press

719
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: for like doing these like big stunts. Like I think

720
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,479
Speaker 1: he did a play where what's the what's the one

721
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: that has the helicopter? Is that Miss Saigon? I think so?

722
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: So he had a real helicopter land and like they

723
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: did a performance of a Titanic play where they actually

724
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: like sunk a boat in a lake, which we're about

725
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: to talk about. So like he was getting just like

726
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: cheap stunts, you know, but the sort of a comedian.

727
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna say that about p t Anderson when Daniel

728
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: Day Lewis fell down that fucking mind shaft and there

729
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: will be blood and actually broke his leg. Or Chris Nolan,

730
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: who wants to do everything in camera. This guy's a

731
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: fucking visionary. Okay, this is why in that Titanic musical

732
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: he demanded that people do a forty foot jumped into

733
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: a twelve foot deep pit of stagnant water that he

734
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: dug to have the effect of people like falling to

735
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: their deaths during the sinking of the Titanic. Yeah, and

736
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: everybody remembers the dude pinging off of the propeller like that.

737
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: That's the only person we remember from that from that

738
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: film that in the couple that was holding each other

739
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: as the water was rising in their bed. Obviously a tragedy.

740
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: But in their reports about this Titanic document or play,

741
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: they said, quote Clotis did not want to employ on

742
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: site E M. T. S, so the tech staff had

743
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: to get some of the cast certified as lifeguards. But

744
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: there was a snag here too, Estis said, this is

745
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: the person reporting on Clotis refused to let some of

746
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: the people suggested be certified as lifeguards because they did

747
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: not fit the quote Baywatch body type that quotas demanded Titanic, like,

748
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: that's the first thing you need when on the Titanic

749
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: gets a fucking worse. So that fucking weird pool that people,

750
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: he was saying had to do forty ft jumps in

751
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: to injure themselves, they're going to say, quote the run

752
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: of Titanic. Lad actor Robert Wayne to spend nine days

753
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: in the hospital. After spending some time in the bacteria

754
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: filled pond that housed the production, the actor's leg, already

755
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: bitten by a mosquito, started to swell, and eventually his

756
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: quadriceptendon burst. He was unable to work for six months.

757
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: That's like, that's the worst nightmare. That's like what you like,

758
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: you get a mosquito bite. That's like what everyone fears

759
00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: or is like that's my fear. Oh yeah, I was

760
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: afraid of lakes. Yeah, look at that. I need the

761
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: water has to be moving. Even though I remember the

762
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: first time I went to like a camp where it

763
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: was like, hey, we're going to the lake. I'm like

764
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: it looks all green in there, like is that safe?

765
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: And then I watched all these like white kids like

766
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: cannon ball into it. I'm like, you just like flying

767
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: over it? Like stagnant waters gross, right, and it's like, yo,

768
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: make sure you make sure you shower off immediately or

769
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: else you're gonna get swimmers itch all over. Yeah, I'm like,

770
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: what is this? I think you just made that up?

771
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's what they called it up there, up there,

772
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: and mission I'm saying that. I'm saying the camp counselors

773
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: just made that up. Oh yeah maybe, but I mean, yeah,

774
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: it is my worst name. I've learned to get into

775
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: natural bodies of water since. But it is like the

776
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of thing where you you're in a fucking Titanic play,

777
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: but your bug bite and the cess pit you were

778
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: performing and leads your pod recept to burst, like what's

779
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: uh quadriss up to birth? Yeah, I never even heard

780
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, I didn't think that that was possible.

781
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: Now I get to live in the scary world where

782
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: I know it's possible. Right, And now you're gonna look

783
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: like Paul and Fiance where it's like a rubber suit

784
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: to go into like the river, because you think just

785
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: full mesh suits to anywhere and I'll yeah, I'll put

786
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: a condom on because stuff can can swim up there

787
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: in the Amazon River. It happens. There's old fish. Yeah, yeah,

788
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: that's all stuff that I'm horrified by. All right, let's

789
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: take another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back,

790
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: and you know, the weekend and Monday, just horrifying scenes

791
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: reports coming out of Afghanistan that you know, there's not

792
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: not a ton to say other than you know, America

793
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: should rightly be horribly embarrassed and held accountable for for

794
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: everything that's happening. I do wonder if this is like

795
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: the degree to which this has failed and the fact

796
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: that it was sort of the like dubbed in the

797
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: mainstream media is like the acceptable war on Terror, and

798
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: now it's like we're seeing how just absolutely fucked. It's

799
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: become like I I do wonder if this is going

800
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: to actually like get into the zeitgeist and get into

801
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: like people's opinions of like American military intervention because this ship, yeah,

802
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: just our pattern of these little wars that drain resources

803
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: and just completely unproductive militarism and occupation policies. I mean, yeah,

804
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: Like it's funny the already conservatives like have their own

805
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: ideas when most people are like, no, it was a

806
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: failure when we fucking started it. That was the fucking problem,

807
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: and no amount of whatever whatever you think could have

808
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: solved it was going to do that because we're already

809
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: going into a country and trying to force some like

810
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: widespread ideological change to a place where people were like

811
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: largely illiterate and had a system of like feudal war

812
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: lords who are the ones like controlling certain reasons to

813
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: be like no, no, you get a central government. People

814
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: are gonna vote, They're gonna love it. Don't worry, we're

815
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: America guys taking that hold on. Here's uh, here's money

816
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: to for sorry if we blew up stuff, and here

817
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: you can use this to keep to bribe people. Because

818
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: the thing is, like everything, every step was completely fucked up,

819
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: and now we have to look at more like the

820
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: most horrifying ship right of people who are running towards

821
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 1: planes because they see it that as their last fucking

822
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to avoid a certainly completely fucked up life under

823
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: the rule of the Taliban, if not death. For in

824
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: the instances of people that were assisting foreign nationals or whatever, like,

825
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: that's apparently a thing that a lot of Taliban people

826
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: are not asking, well, who was helping Like, who was

827
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: helping foreigners. Yeah, and it's just it's it's it's it's

828
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: hard to think that this was going to end well

829
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: at any point, but to see it now like at

830
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: its end, full end point, with just total collapse, it's

831
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: just it's heartbreaking. I think it's been interesting to also

832
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: kind of see people have this revisionist history over who

833
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: was fighting against this from the beginning, Like there's there's

834
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: been all these articles saying like nobody was protesting against it,

835
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: like nobody did, and it's like that's not true, Like

836
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: all these people like what are you talking about? You know,

837
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: we were not okay with this, And like even as

838
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: a kid, I remember that there were people on Twitter

839
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 1: who were sharing the like Disney propaganda videos like After

840
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 1: Night eleven, Remember they like had all the Disney stars

841
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: make videos that were like going to war is like

842
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: my Disney dream. Like they literally had like shyl Above

843
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: and Hillary Duff and all of these like Disney celebs

844
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: like trying to convince children like war is dope. And

845
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: even I remember as a kid being like this is weird,

846
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: Like this is not okay, Like why is Shila buff

847
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: reading me a poem about how like it's good to

848
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: send people to Afghanistan, like yeah, like it just I don't.

849
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just like one of those really intense

850
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: examples of like when America came together in just every

851
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: regard like propaganda machines for children teenagers. Everyone just like

852
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: was like, we have to push this idea and everyone

853
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: was like oh, everyone was like no, this is horrible.

854
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: This is a bad idea. Remember the Gulf War and

855
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: they made Ninja turtle toys that were like after the

856
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 1: Armed Forces because I had like a Air Force Donna

857
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: Tello ship in like Desert Camo and stuff, and I'll

858
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: like what At the time, I was like, oh, cool,

859
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: the Ninja turtles come in Armed Forces the additions now,

860
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: but I was like, cool, this is another Ninza Turtle toy,

861
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: not realizing oh, right, that's me playing with figures that

862
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: I'm are going to be echoed back to me on

863
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: a television screen where I'm getting a version where like

864
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: my parents like that's Bush doing all this, and I'm like,

865
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: what's going on anyway? Here? I was. I just thought

866
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: I was enjoying the film Cadet Kelly and it's in

867
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: alternated with a love of the military, right, and You're like, wow, now,

868
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: I have an irrational fear of anyone who's not a

869
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: white Christian American. And it's wild to to see people

870
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: like Barbara Lee, who in Congress, she was, I believe,

871
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: the only vote against the authorization for use of military

872
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: force in Afghanistan, the only one to say no in

873
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: two thousand one. And now she's out here, like I

874
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: fucking told you at the time, because she got fucking

875
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: dragged for the ship that she said, because she was

876
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: truly like, I don't see a military solution for what

877
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: happened with nine eleven. Going to occupy Afghanistan is not

878
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: the solution to this larger picture we had. And to

879
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: think that twenty years ago it was one person, because

880
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: one black woman was the only person who said, are

881
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: you what the fuck? No? But ship? And here we

882
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: are now like asking these questions like what what went wrong,

883
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: rather than broadening out to we should know this is

884
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 1: this was so wrong from the beginning, right, And if

885
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: you had taken every cent that was spent on military

886
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: intervention and put that towards investing in infrastructure and just

887
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: giving money to the people of Afghanistan to spend it

888
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: as they think would best benefit their society, like I

889
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: mean two trillion dollars we spent. Yeah, you know, it's

890
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: a ton and and and all because we didn't we

891
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 1: didn't bother to understand the nuances of another culture and

892
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: then just essentially just gave homad cars. I just said, yo, man,

893
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: if you've got to pay these people to figure it out,

894
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: then do how much guys you need as you gotta get.

895
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: And then you wonder why it completely collapses when the

896
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: in the US leaves because they weren't. It was all

897
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: band aid fixes on top of like a deep sucking

898
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: wound that needed like some something other than just sort

899
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: of this idea of like neoliberalism and fucking democracy and

900
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: this other ship. You're not gonna get like institutional, like

901
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: deep cultural changes when you're pointing guns that the people

902
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 1: and like don't actually respect them as people, which seems

903
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: right the way that h And now we have to

904
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: live with the shame of you know, because look, I

905
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: didn't vote for the Iraq war any of that ship

906
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, but I'm a I'm a conscious American person

907
00:51:52,960 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: and to see the just fear and how dejected and

908
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: just dead these people feel that they have no options

909
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: is horrifying and it's it just makes you comple. I

910
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: mean again, most people who have some level of awareness

911
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: about American foreign policy was never gonna be like, I

912
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: can't believe America did this, because that most of history

913
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, I can believe America today. Yeah, America

914
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: loves doing this ship right, and now I'm looking at it,

915
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm like it. But then you see this version people

916
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: are clinging to planes that are taking off like that's

917
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: not even that's not someone who has options because that

918
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: there's no way in your mind you go, Okay, I

919
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: can hold onto this plane up into the sky to

920
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: wherever it goes down. But in that moment, that's your

921
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: only option. It's it's just horrific. But yeah, I hope

922
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: Jack that this maybe people will see it, But I

923
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: don't know how much of that footage you're gonna see

924
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: on mainstream news that I mean, there are stuff where

925
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: they show a lot of people going to the like

926
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: air like the airport and couple, but where is there

927
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: going to be the accompanying commentary from the media to say,

928
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 1: like rather than being like, well, you know, if actually,

929
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: if George Bush did this and Obama did this and

930
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: Trump did this, better than maybe it doesn't happen. Rather

931
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: than being like, nope, but this is this is this

932
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: is how failed us warrn balls. He works time and

933
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: again at leaves a trail of bodies behind. Yeah, there's

934
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: a twenty seven year old the first, the youngest and

935
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: first female mayor in Afghanistan, Zarifa Gafari, who as as

936
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 1: recently as three weeks ago was like, you know, there

937
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: are progressive people in Afghanistan and in Kabul. I feel

938
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: like we might be able to like pull something off.

939
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: And now she's like, Oh, I'm just sitting here waiting

940
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: for them to come. There's no one to help me

941
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: and my family. I'm just sitting with them and my husband.

942
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: They will come for people like me and kill me.

943
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: I can't leave my family anyway. Where would I go?

944
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: That's a direct quote. And then she couldn't talk anymore

945
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: and her her dad was killed by the Taliban last year.

946
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: They've the Taliban has made three attempts on her life.

947
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's just like they the U. S. Military

948
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: goes over there and it's almost like they're working with

949
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: the Taliban to like reveal who who's like not on

950
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: board with the Taliban, and then they leave like, all right,

951
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: there's your there's your rats, here's your targets, Like, here's

952
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: all the people that you're gonna want to talk to

953
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: you after we leave. Yeah, just yeah, And I you'd

954
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: hope that, I mean, the the US would have a

955
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: real concentrated effort to evacuate people, especially those that you know,

956
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 1: put themselves in harm's way to help this completely misinformed

957
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: and fucked up military campaign. But no, just abandoning them.

958
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know, I mean, if you don't

959
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: have enough reasons to feel ashamed of this place, then

960
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: my god, watching people with no option left because the

961
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: US abandon them is good place story, all right. And finally,

962
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: what is obviously not the most important news story in

963
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: the world right now, but perhaps is the most important

964
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,760
Speaker 1: Taco Bell based story Taco Bell, is how do we pivot?

965
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, Man's here's a new American shame Taco Bell,

966
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: micro military And if you're still not ashamed enough Taco Bell.

967
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: So there there's been an overall shift in our or

968
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: fast food consuming habits toward drive throughs during the pandemic.

969
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: And you know this is after in nineteen there was

970
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: there was an overall movement towards like trying to get

971
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: rid of drive throughs because they're ecologically bad. They're bad

972
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: for the health. Not only are the people consuming the

973
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: fast food, but the people who live around there and

974
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: work around there because it's just a lot of idling cars.

975
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: But now that consumer habits have temporarily changed, the fast

976
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: food industry is just doubling down, and Taco bells at

977
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 1: the forefront with this what's being called Taco bell defy

978
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 1: for some reason. But yeah, like I said, it looks

979
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: like a car wash that's run by daft punk. Yeah,

980
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: it looks like the old banks, Like like I like

981
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 1: when my mom would take me to do her errands

982
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: and the old yeah, the tube and they send it.

983
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: It looks just like that, right, It feels like, Yeah,

984
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: what you know, the future of just hyper consumption would

985
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 1: be it's like, and drive through your calorie dispensing booth

986
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 1: and they'll just shoot a bunch of gorditas into your window. Yeah,

987
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: who needs taco bell this quickly? I just I can't

988
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: imagine any situation where I'm like, I need it so fast. Damn.

989
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: I wish they had three more drive through lanes, just

990
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: like shoot it directly into my car in like this,

991
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: this like proprietary vertical lift system they're using to like

992
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 1: lower your food to you. Are they trying to patent

993
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: the dumb waiter like that. That seems like they're trying. Yeah,

994
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: it just I'm just kind of like, I don't feel

995
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 1: like you've discovered anything new here, Taco Bell, right, I mean,

996
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: just to get more people. I mean they're already facing

997
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: a ton of shortages with supply things. But hey, defy

998
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: all the expectations I guess with this format, why is

999
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: it called defer? Like is there even logic to around

1000
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: the word defy? I mean that's like the cliche thing

1001
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: that everybody in the world of capitalism like they want

1002
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: to defy and disrupt and like defying your ability to

1003
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: eat Taco Bell slowly, like disrupt the relative piece people

1004
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: had before five lane driving troops, Like defying your ability

1005
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: to see the people who make your food as humans

1006
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: and just making you think, all, yeah, oh my god,

1007
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: did you did you know us? Yeah? It's like you

1008
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: scan a quere code. You don't even order through a

1009
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: human now, right, Yeah, you go, you order on the app,

1010
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: you drive up, scan a QR code and and like

1011
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: I heard, like really nice music place so you don't

1012
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: hear the screams from Yeah, it's a very pleasant experience.

1013
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: You just get your stuff to keep your eyes ahead

1014
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: and keep moving. And just on the one hand, as

1015
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: someone who's worked in a quick service restaurant, that is

1016
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of the like you never have to deal with

1017
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: an actual customer. I like on that side, I'm like, okay,

1018
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: I guess like like I would just be messing around

1019
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: with my friends in the robot taco bell kitchen right exactly,

1020
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: and someone who's upset about missing item, like we just

1021
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: have to talk to a faceless window that just like

1022
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: it's like, cannot compute your order. Not fuck off somebody

1023
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: saying that on the other line on the other end

1024
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: of that, just so it sounds like a robot funk

1025
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: out of here, man, I get paid enough to funk

1026
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: with this bullshit and get your tired as busted car

1027
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: the funk out of here before come out there smack

1028
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: to shoot out you. It's like, oh, it's pretty so McDonald's.

1029
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: You know, drive through visits grew by in the spring

1030
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: of and drive through orders accounted for nine of their

1031
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: sales in the second quarter. That's yeah, I mean I

1032
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: can be I don't know. I mean I live in

1033
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: l A, So I have a car. I drive everywhere,

1034
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: and I definitely wish every place had drive through, Like

1035
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: I I was never person Yeah, I mean the thing

1036
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: about me is that I never want bad food from

1037
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: drive through. I'm like, can can like good restaurants have

1038
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: drive well? Funny you ask, because some of our finest

1039
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: dining institutions, Applebee's and Chippotle are opening their own drive

1040
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: through options. That one sounds dangerous, but I feel like

1041
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: anytime I go to apple Bee's it's because I want

1042
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: to drink a fish bowl of alcohol, right, Yeah, Yeah,

1043
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: that's so, which is yeah, weird because it's like, you

1044
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: don't you kind of go to Applebee's for the experience.

1045
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, just say it, but you go on. You

1046
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: want the ambiance, you get to eat good in the neighborhood. Literally,

1047
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: you're driving around in the neighborhood neighing and drinking, drinking

1048
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: a big gulp of booze. Chipotle, though, I feel like

1049
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: you could go really slow, like yeah, I've seen how

1050
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: slow people are to build a burrito bowl sometimes. Like

1051
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: that another QR code situation that they better QR code

1052
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: that ship because Yeah, that's like as to just be

1053
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: like you said it all up ahead of time, because

1054
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: people I don't understand how it's one of my beers

1055
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: in Chipotle open people are still like that, baffled by

1056
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: their situation and process. It's weird. One of my weaknesses

1057
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: is being behind somebody who's taking too long to order

1058
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: fast food, like I'll fucking turn into the Hulk, Like

1059
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't understand when people are there with like their

1060
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 1: hands on their hips looking at a menu bore like, huh, now,

1061
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: what do you do? You like this? The chicken fries?

1062
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: Are they good? What's your favorite? God? Fucking they don't

1063
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: give a fuck. I'm here because I want a self

1064
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: hatred meal quickly, sir, please, I would have. The last

1065
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 1: time I went to chipol I was behind someone who

1066
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: was like detailed asking them to explain the difference between

1067
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: the burrito bowl and the salad, which, if you know

1068
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: anything about Chipole, they are the exact same thing. On

1069
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: the salad are the same? Yeah, the salad comes with dressing,

1070
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: that is the only difference. And she was literally like, no, no, no,

1071
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: break this down one more time. What is the salad happening?

1072
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: It's like, make it yourself. What are you doing? You're

1073
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: seeing what I'm just putting it in this bowl. And

1074
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: then if I give you this other little dressing cup,

1075
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: that just re contextualizes it. Yeah, that's what, So then

1076
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: it's a salad suddenly. But if if you take that,

1077
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: it's just the goddamn bowl. It's just the bole they

1078
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: are trying to. Like, So, Burger King has this like

1079
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: big brother like AI sa them called Deep Flame that

1080
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: pushes foods that are popular in the area that day,

1081
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: or might be popular because of the weather. Um they

1082
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: like basically are just using algorithms to put all this

1083
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: data in and then tell you what it thinks you want.

1084
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why I would care what Burger King

1085
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: thinks I want. I would just go there. You get

1086
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: all self conscious because it projects your ordering, like like

1087
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: I would never get that. First of all, I don't

1088
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: think that fish standwhich is good at Burger King. I

1089
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: don't know why I did that. McDonald's is acquiring an

1090
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Israeli artificial intelligence firm called Dynamic Yield. Tim Hortons and

1091
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,439
Speaker 1: Popeyes are also rolling out predictive personalized systems, so they're

1092
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: like going in a real minority report like direction. Yes, look,

1093
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: if if Raytheon, if Raytheon has to collab with Popeyes,

1094
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: so it will speed up to people figuring out that

1095
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: they just want red beans and rice the family size

1096
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: and can keep it moving the so be it the

1097
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, the defense going tractors inevitably get part of it. Yeah,

1098
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: like if that's what we need to get people to realize, like, yeah,

1099
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: I want an iced coffee and I'm going to keep

1100
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: the burger king line moving. Like Okay, when someone goes

1101
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: to a place that's known for one thing and then

1102
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: you get something that has nothing to do with the place,

1103
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: that's another really frustrating experience. Right again, this is me

1104
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: raging out in my Mazda and a fast food tract

1105
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: tow line. So right, well, actually, it's been such a

1106

Speaker 1: pleasure having you as always. Where can people find you
