3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: a traveler. All of our neighbor tea are paper thin

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: walls in our apartment. Melissa Saga of Ted Lewis and

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Eleanor to my neighbor Chris Nordy lines like a hoover.

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: That time I saw Susan Sarandon at the Rocky Horror

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Picture Show and didn't know she was in the movie,

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: The infamous El Salvadoran Prison Seacott. We're going to cover

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: that extensively in the Barry Weiss drama, the sixty minute

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: segment and all the tales from the DM. So stick

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: around about how I was someone to think you had

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: Johndye in the comments. Yeah, people think. People have Even

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: before I was doing the Internet and the show, people

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: have always felt like they could say whatever the fuck

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: they wanted right to my face.

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: This is a long time ago. I was coming I

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: was leading Haiti coming back home to New York.

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: Right.

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: It was my old passport picture before I had lost weight.

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 1: Right, And.

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: The guy looked at it, He looked at me, He

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: looked at it, and he looked at me and he

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: says to me in French. He was like, madam, you've

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: changed quite a lot. And I said, oh, yes, yes

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: I have. And then he said, because you were really fat,

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: you should probably eat a whole lot. And you know

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: what's really funny about that is like it was it

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: was such a Haitian guy thing to say that. I

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: wasn't even mad. I thought it was really fucking funny,

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: and it's actually very It's so funny, and it's just

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: the way that he was just like, damn, madam. The

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: best thing about it was like he spoke to me

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: in French first it's like the proper way, and then

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: when I was like, oh, yes, I have, and then

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: he switched to Crayle, which is more like familiar, and

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: he was just like, I was just like, this is

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: just funny.

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: It was.

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: It was really it was actually really funny.

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Told me most of your like hilarious Haiti stories are

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: around the airport or the plane ride, Like it's it's

42
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: rarely in Haitio. It's always going to it.

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: From the thing about I think any anytime you're going

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: anywhere on an airplane or an airport, it's like the subway, right,

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: Everybody in New York takes a subway. Everybody takes a

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: plane someplace, right, absolutely, And it doesn't matter your socioeconomic

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: status and your race, none of it matters because you're

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: all like stuck in the same place. And like people

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: say like this, and I think travel makes a lot

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: of people anxious, and then they just they're just wild

51
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: and they.

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: Wild and they physically are restrained, kind of like you

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: can't move around a lot, and it's just it's bringing

54
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: out the worst in people. The plane. The plane travels

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: bring out the worst in people.

56
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: Are you you're anxious to travel?

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Are you not anymore?

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: Okay?

59
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: I used to be really nervous to travel, Okay, and

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: now I'm trying to escape my life so much that

61
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: I love getting on a plane. I'm like, oh hell yeah,

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: this is wait to get on that plane.

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: Is a better traveler you were bred?

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: It depends on how we're defining better.

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: More come less anxious?

66
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Okay. So in my life, and you know what, I

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: have an answer, Okay, thank you. In my life, I

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: am the person who plans and organizes everything, okay. And

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: I know you are too, Okay. And I know a

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: lot of our listeners are too. There's always the person

71
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: and the couple. Brad shows up to the airport, he

72
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: doesn't know where his ticket is, he doesn't sometimes know

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: what airline we're flying. I do it all, okay, I

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: get it all organized. It's the night before and he's packing.

75
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I've been packed for a week okay. And we're pulling

76
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: up to the airport and he's like, oh, we're flying

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: American yo. Yeah, and I picked out your meal too,

78
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Like I get I am that one. I'm the one

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: so to say, oh, who's like better at trial? I'm

80
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: better at it, a more organized. We would not be

81
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: on the plane if he were in charge.

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: But he's but it sounds like he's more at ease

83
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: because you've taken care of everything, right, So he's just like, okay,

84
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: I've set up this stut.

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I will say, if he ever tried to

86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: take control of organizing the flights, it would be an

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: absolute riot.

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

89
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: There would be blood in the streets. Oh dear, it

90
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: would be. And no one will ever take that away

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: from me.

92
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

93
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: That is I have to have that control. Even when

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: I book a gig and they're like, oh, preferred airline

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: whatever I say, I'll send you the receipt. I'm handling

96
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: it all. I'm a control freak like that. I don't

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: want someone getting involved in that way. I can never

98
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: have someone to help them with that stuff.

99
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, when we go places, Andre's the one who

100
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: looks up all the stuff, and he does because he

101
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 2: knows that I'll just spend a million dollars on stupid shit.

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? Like, I'll just be like,

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: you know what here is. I remember one time we

104
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: were going on the car. Yeah, I was like, we

105
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: were going somewhere, and I was just like, so we

106
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: just say, like fucking do whatever. He was like, no,

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: we cannot.

108
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like absolutely not.

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: So that's why he does it, because he's very concerned

110
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: about how much we're going to pay for things. I mean,

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: and he's right right, but like sometimes I am willing

112
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: to pay for things so that I don't have to

113
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: think about it.

114
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: And also there is a convenience sometimes where the money

115
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: is actually worth it if you have it. Yes, we

116
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: were going we were in Norway and we were going

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: dog sledding in the middle of nowhere. It was like

118
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: up on a mountain, how was that. It was so fun.

119
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: It was like one of the coolest, most memorable experiences.

120
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: Do you think the dogs are happy?

121
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Thrilled?

122
00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: Okay?

123
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: And now, whenever I see a husky in New York,

124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, I've seen what you should be doing, gotcha?

125
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: And it's not Square Park?

126
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

127
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Running through the woods in the snow.

128
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: I follow somebody on I think TikTok and she has

129
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: four huskies and they make an unholy noise when they

130
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: get to end, and each one eggs on the other

131
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: one the howl, but it's not just like a howl.

132
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: It's like a it's like a cry for help. Like

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: it's like, like it's really really crazy. No, it is,

134
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: And I couldn't I think I couldn't do.

135
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I guess the screaming, especially in an apartment.

136
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, screaming would drive me crazy. And it also makes

137
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: me feel like maybe they shouldn't be in the house,

138
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: like maybe this is the kind of dog that needs

139
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: to be outside playing inside.

140
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: People will call and complain and say, oh, this sty

141
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: I saw this dog sleeping sleeping outside in the snow,

142
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: and then the owners will film videos and you're like, yeah,

143
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: they're trying to call it again, and the dog doesn't

144
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: want to come. The dogs we wants to sleep outside

145
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: the But we were going. We had to take a

146
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: train to Lallahammer and then it was like you could

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: either take the bus for three hours to get there

148
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: or it was a twenty minute cab ride.

149
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: Oh I mean yeah, okay.

150
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: And in moments like that, it's like we're going to

151
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: spend a fifty kroner whatever it was, yes to do

152
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: that if you can. So in situations like that, the

153
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: dollar spent on the convenience is it evens out? This

154
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: is sidebar, Melissa, didn't you miss a flight one time?

155
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: You told me about this a while I did.

156
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: Indeed, I know we've talked about this before, but like

157
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: one of the few times that I've missed a flight

158
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: was because of Andre. Really we were in London. And

159
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: that's the thing about travel, right, is that I am

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: anxious in the sense of I'm afraid to miss a flight,

161
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like, so I am

162
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: I am you know like the rest of my people.

163
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: Like I get to the airport right and I remember

164
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: looking at the clock and the time and I was

165
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: just like maybe we should go. Maybe can we go?

166
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: And he was like no, it's fine, we got this.

167
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Let's take one more, let's another stroll around the Thames.

168
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: Don't be so anxious.

169
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: And then I remember, and I have a picture of this,

170
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: I'll share it with you where I took a picture

171
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: of Andre looking at his phone and I was like,

172
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: this is when I knew we were not going to

173
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: make it. We were not going to make it.

174
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: Where were you?

175
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: And I was looking at him and I was just like,

176
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: we're not going to make it, are we? And he's

177
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: like no, no, no, but we have to hurry up though,

178
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: and I was like okay. And we get to the

179
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: airport and the plane hadn't left yet, but they had

180
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: stopped boarding and we had to spend the night and

181
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: we spent the night at the airport.

182
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't just like another flight.

183
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: We had to wait till the next day and we

184
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: spent the night at this airport hotel. But it was

185
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: like the room was it wasn't this big, it was

186
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: it's for exactly that exactly, and I mean it was

187
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: the bathroom was like a wet room, like it was just.

188
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh, I hate that. I hate that. When the shower

189
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: and the toilet and the sink are all connected to

190
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: the same water line and it's just one.

191
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: I mean, this was the smallest hotel room I have

192
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: ever been in my life. And at that point we

193
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: just started drinking.

194
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to hit the hooch, the airport bar.

195
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: The drinks are so expensive. They're very expensive because they

Speaker 2: and so really quick. I call him Ted, That is

259
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 2: not his name. Ted used to be married to Lois,

260
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: and Ted and Lois would fight all the time. And

261
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: you only ever heard Ted, You never heard Lois, right, Yeah,

262
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: And then one day I heard him say to her,

263
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: I come to you with solutions, you only come to

264
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: me with problems. And then Lois had had enough and

265
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: she said, fuck you Ted.

266
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: You heard her say that? Oh, yes, that's the one thing.

267
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: She had one line.

268
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: She had one line, and she executed it beautifully stage left.

269
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: And then a couple of days later, I saw her

270
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: in the hall and I was just like, hey, hey, Lois,

271
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: how are you getting the fuck out of here?

272
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, oh, if you're telling the neighbors.

273
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. So in my building, there's a package room and

274
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: I was going through looking for my package. And this

275
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: is maybe several weeks later, maybe a couple of months later,

276
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: and I saw a package for Ted that said something

277
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: like it was from divorce dot com. This, dude, gotta

278
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: they got a divorce. They got a divorce.

279
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Right.

280
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: And since then, and since then, I have seen a

281
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: steady stream of women coming in and out of Ted's life.

282
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, Ted has game. It sounds like it is

283
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: Ted cute. It's got a stead remote coming in and

284
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: out of the building.

285
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: I think that Ted is cute. He's not hideously unattractive.

286
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: But what happens is every time Ted breaks up with somebody,

287
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: the music.

288
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Starts the Barry Manilow adele Al.

289
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: And it's on repeat. He also had. He also plays

290
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: quite a lot, a bit of Barber streisand and Barry dam.

291
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I found the problem and that he's gay.

292
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gay. Ade ade.

293
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: A journey okay, straight six straight, very madelow By curious,

294
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: maybe attending, you know, tap his foot in the bathroom.

295
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: Step and then it'll stop once he comes back to himself.

296
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: We always return to thyself, know thyself.

297
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: And one time I was coming in, he was going out.

298
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: There was a different woman at the door and he

299
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: was leaving, and she said to him, Okay, Ted, love you.

300
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: And then I saw his face and he was like,

301
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: I love you.

302
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: Too, Melissa. Okay. Now there's so many also like.

303
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait wait. And then fourth of July you

304
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: can see fireworks from the roof of our building. And

305
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: after fourth of July they were both there together, and

306
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: then I never saw her again. Right, there's a new one.

307
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Let's wait, you gotta stop. I can't process all this.

308
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: It's so insane.

309
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm also curious why am I here? Why am I writing? Well,

310
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: Because what I realized is Ted's bathroom butts up against

311
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: my bathroom, and so the head of my bed butts

312
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: up against I guess his living room or something. I

313
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: can hear what's going on in there, right, So York,

314
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: you know this is this is one of the reasons

315
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: why I'm tired of apartment life. I don't want to

316
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: hear you. I don't want to smell your fish. I

317
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: don't want it. I don't want I don't want it.

318
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: But anyway, I digress. Now there's another one. And they

319
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: got into a fight this weekend, Eleanor. He and Eleanor

320
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: are getting into it. But I don't think she was there.

321
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: I think she was on speakerphone because she sounded really

322
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: tinmy right, and they have fought before, and Eleanor ain't

323
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: no Lois. Eleanor is not here for games, and she

324
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: is just and more than once I have heard her

325
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: say to him, I don't know what the fuck your

326
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: problem is dead.

327
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: She is eating him up.

328
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: Eating him up. And then he was saying to her

329
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: something like, you know, I had a horrible day. So

330
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: now Andre's watching TV and I said to him, lower

331
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: the teeth, lower the lower the TV. And he's like,

332
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: and he's like why, And I was like, Ted and

333
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: Eleanor are getting into it, and he's like, Melissa and

334
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: I was like, listen. And then he came over and

335
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: then we're both in the bathroom together and we're listening

336
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: to what's going on.

337
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining you and Andrea were a cup pressed

338
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: against Oh.

339
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: I remember when I said to you, my neighbor can't

340
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: keep a body. He cannot keep a woman, can't keep

341
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: a body, cannot keep a boy at a certain point,

342
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: if you can't keep an employee. And you were like,

343
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: what roommates are girlfriends? And I'm like, girlfriends wives? And

344
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: Michael's like, are they leaving or kicking them out? And

345
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. And then and then so he said

346
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: to her, you knew that I was having a bad

347
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: fucking day, and she's like, you're always having in a

348
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: bad faking day. And then I couldn't and then I

349
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: was getting annoyed because I couldn't hear everything right. And

350
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: then I was like, all right, let me watch TV

351
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: because I'm like, no, no, no, I'm going to hear

352
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: the rest of it.

353
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: You adele, did they break up?

354
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if they broke up,

355
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: but he started playing Adele and.

356
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: No, I'm worried what my neighbors are hearing me say

357
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: and do that.

358
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: Was I just want someone with my neighbor.

359
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 1: I don't know.

360
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: I don't know why he can't keep a body. And

361
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, there are a lot of

362
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: people in my building who don't like him. He can

363
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: be really aggressive, but he's been nothing but really nice

364
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 2: to me. One day, I was coming in, I had

365
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of bags and he's like, oh, let me

366
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: help him go. Thank you so much, And I said,

367
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: that was really sweet of you. He said to me,

368
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: no one's called me sweets and my mother died, so

369
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 2: Ted is clearly somebody only a mother can love.

370
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Well. What's concerning to me is that clearly he is

371
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: a little bit self aware that he can't keep a body.

372
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if he realizes that he can't keep

373
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 2: a body. I don't know that people who can't keep

374
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: bodies realize.

375
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: There the problems. Yeah, I feel like there's something about

376
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: this though, there's a little bit of self awareness. There

377
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: are no all these divorces, and I mean, I.

378
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 2: Don't know if it's it's one divorce that I'm aware of,

379
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: but there has been.

380
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: He's cute. He's kind of cute. Not really, I don't

381
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: know that.

382
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: My type of white guy I don't like.

383
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah see.

384
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: Rich maybe this apartment, Yes, he does on his apartment.

385
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: His apartment is beautiful. He has a really he's an audiophile.

386
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: He has a really beautiful audio situation with like Vinyl.

387
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: Because and it's just one hundred Adele albums and BARBISTI

388
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: sand that is really funny. Well, I need to know,

389
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: like where this what happens.

390
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: I hope that I see Eleanor again. Eleanor loves Arthur Weasley.

391
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm ring for them to leave right right. I'm waiting

392
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: for the women to find joy.

393
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: He keeps on getting new ones.

394
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: I do think that there is, like you said, like

395
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: there there's always a man who drives you insane. I

396
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: do think that there is also this compulsion that a

397
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: lot of us have to fix a man, to see

398
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: a problem and be like, oh I got this, I

399
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: can figure that out.

400
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

401
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of my twenties doing did you

402
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: I mean I.

403
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: Think that my last before my husband, my last long

404
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: term boyfriend, I did think that I could help him.

405
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: I don't know that I I was like, I just

406
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: need to love him more, do you know what I mean?

407
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: And help him. And when I decided that I was

408
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: done with him, Yeah, and I was just like, Universe,

409
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: this is what I need and that's what I got.

410
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: Take it away and that's what you got what I got.

411
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: It's like in Practical Magic where they sort of put

412
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: together their purple.

413
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: You know that there's a sequel, and I can't wait. Really,

414
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: I am.

415
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: Sad for the sequel. Okay, I am going to be

416
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: really annoyed if the lightning's weird and if it feels

417
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: like I'm in a video game. I like movies where

418
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: it's framed and it doesn't look like a video game.

419
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: Like I can't watch Wicked. That will give me a

420
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: stomach ache. I can't go to one Imax and watch

421
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: the Willy Wonka movie. I'll like get Vertigo. You know

422
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: what I mean?

423
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 2: I hear you. So.

424
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: I used to live in what was like a pre war,

425
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: very old school New York. Like everyone was just like

426
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: a weird New York. We've been there forever, yes, and

427
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: we were like I remember we were the Yeah.

428
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

429
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: Near your auntie's apartment and we were there forever. We

430
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: were there for years and years and years. And when

431
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: you're in a building like that, and it's small and

432
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: everyone kind of knows each other like you're entering an ecosystem,

433
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: like they know your shit. They're gonna all talk about you.

434
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: And we had a wall where we could hear our

435
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: neighbor too, and we had this crazy neighbor war.

436
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: Was this a neighbor who was the flight attendant? Yeah, okay,

437
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: I love this, Go ahead, we'll call him.

440
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: the building. Yep, there's always a really late night Friday

441
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: and Saturday night buzz from a how do I say,

442
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: a gentleman caller, a younger man of Latino descent, potentially

443
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: from the oldest profession. Okay, I'm going on dates and

444
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: that is me throwing judgment on the situation that is unconfirmed.

445
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: But you know what, the sex work is work.

446
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: Get it? Yes, sex work is for a work like

448
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: judgment there, but I like loved it.

449
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, you know, because it's the sex

450
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: spicy I have. I have a neighbor who I don't like,

451
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: and he gets dates. They they're very tall, very thin,

452
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: sort of Russian looking. Yeah, and he is dumpy and

453
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: old and that's not Yeah.

454
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: And this in this street that I lived on, there

455
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: was a lot of sex work activity on that street.

456
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: There were like sex workers working the corner. And so

457
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: he's got on the stroll. Yeah. And so these guys

458
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: would show up and it would buzz and like they

459
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: buzz the wrong unit, and then I'd be letting them in.

460
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: So I was like kind of involved, were a willing participants,

461
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: let me tell you. And I'm so boring. I was

462
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,680

465
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: though the walls are thin in any and even if

466
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: they're not thin, you're just in close quarters.

467
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: I mean the thing about living in an apartment building,

468
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: you're basically living with a hundred other people.

469
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's co cohabitation with like without your consent, yeah, totally.

470
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: You are held hostage. Yeah.

471
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: And so this one night Chris was on a bender,

472
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Like Chris was out, he was out in these streets

473
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: and he came home with this guy and it's three

474
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: in the morning, and I really can't sleep, and I

475
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: sleep with earplugs in a saw machine since college. Okay,

476
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: every night their earplugs in sow machine. He was railing

477
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: lines so loud. I could hear it. I could hear

478
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: him railing a line through the earplug in the sw

479
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: machine on high. That is a man.

480
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: That's a hoover.

481
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: That that is self harm, like not odad. And he

482
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: was like narrating it.

483
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: He was like chopping up the next one, like he

484
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: was like hot ha ha like and it was like

485
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: and it was all night and so finally I went over,

486
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: like the sun is rising and he's still going crazy

487
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: on this bender and I knocked on the door and

488
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: I was like, Chris, you gotta keep it down.

489
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: His pupils were outer space seying saucers. Yeah, they bright red.

490
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, like slurring like crazy whatever. The next day

491
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: I get up, he bought me like a nice bottle

492
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: of like expensive champagne favor and left it on my

493
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: door handle with just like a little note that was like,

494
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: sorry if I woke you up last night.

495
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 2: That's actually really classy, Chris, Sorry.

00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: coconem he was able to go out shopping, run errands

499
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: the next day. Was he doing sleep? No? Yeah, he's

500
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: probably still awake. And I will say he was a

501
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: man of a certain age. He wasn't like nineteen or

502
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: twenty doing that much blow.

503
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,680

507
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: age where you should be doing that much.

508
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: I mean he's a little long in the tooth to

509
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: be doing so much blow.

510
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,920

539
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,320

540
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: up my phone and I said, let's swivel and when

541

546
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: was like yeah, and he says, did you compliment her

547
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: on how she was originated the role of Janet in

548
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: Rocky Horror, in the movie that the show is based on.

549
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: And I said, she was in what Noo? And he said, yeah,

550
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: that's why she's here because she was in Rocky. She

551
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: originated Janet in the movie.

552
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: I hate you. I hate you everything you. I hate

553
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 2: you and everything you stand for.

554
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: So mortified? Do you hate me? Like a cruise ship

555
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: take him out to see and sink him. Wow. It

556
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: was one of my most mortifying moments because we talked

557
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: for a while.

558
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: But you didn't I mean, Okay, So while I'm horrified

559
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: that you just didn't know this piece of pop culture

560
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: that I feel like you should have known, and I

561
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: feel like this makes you a bad gay man.

562
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: Chris, the next door neighbor would have absolutely not put

563
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: up with this. He definitely knew.

564
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: But I mean, it's not like you said anything to her, So.

565
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to stop you right there. And I appreciate

566
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: you being really gracious with me, Okay, I don't deserve it,

567
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: because throughout the entire conversation she was kind of looking

568
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: at me like I'm an EmPATH. She was kind of

569
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: looking at me like, are you going to say it?

570
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: Are you going to say the thing everything's been saying

571
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: to me here? You know, she was kind of looking

572
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: at me like you know when someone's kind of waiting

573
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: for you to say something. You're at the altar and

574
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: you say I do, and then you're kind of waiting

575
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: for the next She was waiting for me to say something,

576
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: and I was like, I wonder what she was waiting

577
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: for me to say? You know what that yeah? And

578
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I wonder if yeah, she friends

579
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: with the lighting designer.

580
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: Is she a part of this production?

581
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: No? And That's where I'm also mortified, because every every

582
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: like photo that was taken all over social media in

583
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: the post was Susan Sarandon attends the show based off

584
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: the movie she was in, so like everyone was there

585
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: talking to her and it was reported on because she

586
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: was there because of.

587
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: The movie Gotcha and you were say in the movie. Okay.

588
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: I used to go to a Rocky Horror Picture show

589
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 2: all the time and like would be in the audience participate.

590
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: So in the show, yeah are they are they doing

591
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: the call and response.

592
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: So there's been a lot of controversy around this because

593
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: they're very famous actors in the show. People are paying

594
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: like five hundred bucks a ticket to go see them

595
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: do the jump to the left, damn. And you really

596
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: are paying premium price to see these very very famous

597
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: people do the show, not the guy from Jersey sitting

598
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: next to you. You couldn't get a ticket to Lan King. Yeah,

599
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: you know the cats, we could see boop And so

600
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of a lot of Rocky Horror

601
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: purists have been upset, yes, that people aren't allowed to

602
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: dance or do the callbacks there. I was there opening night. Yeah,

603
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: so there were some callbacks and it was very like

604
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, very cute, okay, but it wasn't disruptive.

605
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: There were some people would yell out, I would say

606
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: maybe five times during the show, and the show just

607
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: kept moving okay, and the actors knew what to do, yes,

608
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: and we got to see everyone do their incredible performance.

609
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: Like really, so it's such a star studed cat.

610
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, interesting because because I feel like that's like

611
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: the whole thing I've never got. I've never seen the

612
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: movie without.

613
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: That, without people kicking in this in the aisles. Yeah,

614
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: because they do these like midnight showings and yeah, yeah,

615
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: no one was really doing that. I will say they

616
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: do pull up a couple of people on stage at

617
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: some point, I think, hopefully to scratch that itch. And

618
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: when they did it during opening night, they pulled Eric

619
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: Botcher on stage, our former guest.

620
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh wow, shout out to Eric. What he imparted himself?

621
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: As it was?

622
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: It was told twink Yeah, uh demon Twink that was

623
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: running against her, and they made him do the dance.

624
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: Did he do it?

625
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, let's move on.

626
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: During COVID, I had this neighbor downstairs who got what

627
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: I call his COVID boo and you would hear them,

628
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 2: and the COVID boo was enthusiastic, encouraging and loved Jesus.

629
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm at a loss for words.

630
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: And at first it was like funny, Oh, she's she's

631
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: invoking the Rosary, and then at the end I was like,

632
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to set him on fire.

633
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, because working from home.

634
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: I was working from home. I thought the world was ending.

635
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: I need to hear you have a nooner. I'm in

636
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: the middle of a zoom call. We've got to look

637
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: at the Q three reports. We've got to circle.

638
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: Back on my Q four road now watching my CEO

639
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: cry that. Anyway, let's move.

640
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: On, let's go into under oath. I've got some crazy

641
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: stuff I want to talk to you about. We didn't

642
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: actually get a chance to cover Barry Weiss CBS, the

643
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: Sea Cott, censorship journalism in America, the Star Spangled Banner.

644
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: We didn't get a chance to cover it. So I

645
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: thought we could get into it today because I have

646
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: Seacott tea that people have reached out to me about

647
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: on the internet. I've made a bunch of videos about this.

648
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: So a couple months ago, there was an inside Seacott

649
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: segment on CBS and it was supposed to air on

650
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: sixty minutes in December, so this was like six months ago.

651
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: The correspondent with Sharon I'll and the segment featured interviews

652
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: with former detainees at this prison. Seacot CECT is the prison.

653
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: This prison is an el Salvador and notorious, infamous for

654
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: human rights violations. Basically, what's happening right now? And I

655
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: deal with this a lot in immigration court with Assilis

656
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: who are seeking asylum in the US from L. Salvador Is.

657
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: In L Salvador, there's what's called the state of Exception.

658
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: And a couple of years ago, the president Bukele decided

659
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: there's so much gang activity in El Salvador, which is true,

660
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: and this is very controversial. So you can talk to

661
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: Salvador and who will say it was great, another we'll

662
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: say it was awful. Bukelly said, we're going to suspend

663
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: the constitution, which is like terrifying to think about as

664
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: in America. Yes, we're just going to pause it and

665
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: we're just going to start detaining these gangs because there

666
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: was a lot of gang violence in El Salvador.

667
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm just curious right now that he's rounded up all

668
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: these people who were allegedly in gangs, did the gang

669
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: activity in El Salvador diminish at all.

670
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: A lot of gang members were detained, okay, yeah, However

671
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: they were detained without any due process. There was no

672
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: court date, there were no trials, there was no actual

673
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: checks and Balances. New York Times did a really interesting

674
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: podcast about this where they interviewed people who were in

675
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: El Salvador who had sons and nephews detained who were

676
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: not affiliated with gangs, and they were still grateful for

677
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: the state of exception, okay, even though their sons and

678
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: nephews had been detained, because it was just so much

679
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: safer now because you catch a lot of people. Yeah,

680
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: there's no way to ensure the actual criminals are being

681
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: true captured compared to an innocent person, correct.

682
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: I say, when you do these sweeps, innocent people are

683
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: going to get caught up in.

684
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: It for sure, right and when there's that's why we

685
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: have checks and balances. That's why we have a judiciary

686
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, we sort of separate people

687
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: who have actually committed crimes and should be prosecuted and

688
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: people who are completely innocent and just in the wrong

689
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: place at the wrong time. Gotcha, It's not like America

690
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: nails it. Yeah. So anyway, and we'll get to the

691
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: CBS story in a second. But basically, Bouquela decided to

692
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: suspend the state of exception, went into effect, suspended the constitution.

693
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: A lot of people were detained in these prisons that

694
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to sort of describe to a first

695
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: world citizen, an American, what it's actually like in these

696
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: detention centers. So there are cells so small you can't

697
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: lie down, There are no access to food, water, toilets.

698
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Overcrowding is like not even a powerful enough word to

699
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: describe what's happening. Rival gangs are housed in the same

700
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: space together, which is very dangerous. Many gang members are

701
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: readily identifiable by their tattoos. They have tattoos on their faces,

702
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: they're branded by their gangs. And this is not like

703
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: I don't want this to get picked up by a

704
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: news outlet of like Michael Foot stands by gang membership

705
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: and I'll Salvador. But I want to explain that I

706
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: have had some clients who were members of gangs, not

707
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: by choice, that a lot of times gang members or

708
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: sometimes gang members are victims of circumstance. They have no money,

709
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: there's no functioning government, there's no food, water resources. A

710
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: guy shows up and says, join my gang, work for

711
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: my gang, and I will give you enough money so

712
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: that your mother has food and medicine.

713
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: Gotcha right, Yeah.

714
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: These are choices. That we as New Yorkers, very rarely

715
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: are faced with these sort of life and death choices.

716
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: So it's very easy for us to pass judgment on

717
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: a situation that we just probably.

718
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: Will never here. Correct.

719
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: So, people are detained in these detention centers and the

720
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: conditions really are truly a death sentence. Many times there

721
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: were mass graves discovered behind this detention center. Injuries are

722
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: not being reported, people aren't getting access to blood pressure medication,

723
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: and just like stroking out and dying, right, So, just

724
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: really horrific conditions. So with that in mind, the US

725
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: capitulates in many ways with Seacott and the l Salvadoran government.

726
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: If you are Christininome, go there for like a photoshoots?

727
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, yes she did. And so after she shot

728
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: her dog, she went there, right, And that's not a joke,

729
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: it's an actual fucking fact. So they had these photo shoots,

730
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: and the US capitulates and they have I'm not gonna

731
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I'm not going to let anyone off

732
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: the hook here. This has been multiple administrations have allowed

733
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: this to happen. You're also if you're salvador in in

734
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: America and you commit a crime, it can be a

735
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: very small crime, and you're marked as to put a

736
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: deportee back to Salvador. They will inform the government, hey

737
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: there's someone who's a criminal coming back.

738
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: They're coming back.

739
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: They will meet them at the airport and immediately detain them.

740
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: So the US government is like check, Yes, we are

741
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: effectively buying into this, and every human rights organization and

742
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: the UN have spoken out about this.

743
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

744
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 1: So CBS was a long time stallwart of American journalists.

745
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: Yes, they were, especially sixty minutes.

746
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were neutral fact finders. Sixty minutes. We're just

747
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: going to report on this, on what's happening. It is not,

748
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, polarized opinion. It's very similar to our show, exactly.

749
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: Just like us, the same rigid standards.

750
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: Three hours before air, CBS News announced it was pulling

751
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: the segment, which was detailing Sea Caught, the conditions, how

752
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: people are deported there, and the government's sort of involvement,

753
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: and correspondent Charnel Fonsi accused editor in chief Barry Weiss

754
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: of pulling it for political reasons. Weiss claimed it wasn't

755
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: ready for air, so it was very splashy, made a

756
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: lot of headlines. But I also think a lot of

757
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: people missed this, So the timing of this was very suspicious.

758
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

759
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: Trump recently attacked sixty minutes at the time that they

760
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: pulled the segment. Okay, so it was right before that,

761
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: and this was I mean, it's still happening. But this

762
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: was at a time when he was really going after

763
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: the networks. Do you remember this, And they were all

764
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: threatening to slap them with fines, and they were all

765
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: looking to save millions, and so they were all bending

766
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: the knee and many of them said they weren't going

767
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: to do like really negative coverage. He was also finally

768
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: lawsuits against them. Yeah, so Barry Weis denied political motives.

769
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: Critics accused CBS leadership of censorhip and anticipatory obedience with

770
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: the Trump administration.

771
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

772
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: It's scary, it really really is.

773
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 2: We're in a bad, bad place, guys.

774
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: I saw the plane nineteen eighty four. Not to talk

775
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: about all my live theater experiences at once, but I

776
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: keep thinking about nineteen eighty four, right, Like, access to

777
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 1: neutral facts is scarcer and scarcer.

778
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: Yep.

779
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: People are getting information about our government from international sources.

780
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: People are going to the BBC to find out what's

781
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: happening here. Yeah, people are going to the Guardian figure

782
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: out what's happening in the US. I got to comment

783
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: on my videos all the time. Oh they're reporting on

784
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: this totally different in Canada.

785
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: Not surprising, scary, really scary, but not surprising, not surprising

786
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: at all.

787
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: You were telling me when we were talking about Russia

788
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: years ago and the war in Ukraine.

789
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: And you were telling me that there was this young

790
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 2: man who was Russian but living in the Ukraine, and

791
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 2: when the war in the Ukraine between Russian and un

792
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: Paine started, he said that he was really surprised that

793
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: his father, who was in Russia, had not reached out

794
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 2: to see how he was doing. And then he reached

795
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 2: out to his father and was like, why are I

796
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 2: don't like, I haven't heard I haven't heard from you,

797
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 2: And he was just like nothing, but why why about?

798
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: What about what? And that just goes to show you like,

799
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: if a government decides that they don't want you to

800
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 2: know about what's going on, they can set it up

801
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: so that you don't know.

802
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: I think that's happening with Iran in many ways. Yeah,

803
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: Like there was a I saw over the weekend there

804
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: was an article the Times was reporting on all the

805
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: buildings that Iran media says they blew up American military sites,

806
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: and the US government was like, no, everyone's fine, nothing

807
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: bad's happening, nothing to see here. Obviously Iran is incentivized

808
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: to say that they've done much more damage than they

809
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: actually did. Is what sort of the US government was saying?

810
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: The Times incredible reporting cross referenced with international satellites, not

811
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: American satellites. They looked at global satellite footage of all

812
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: these sites and compared it to what Aram was saying happened,

813
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: and it was true. It was accurate, right, compared to

814
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: the information the American government was sharing.

815
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: And the problem with that, I mean, there are many

816
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: problems with that. But if we are not able to

817
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: trust what journalists in the United States are saying, how

818
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: are you to make an informed decision when you're at

819
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: the polls?

820
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: Truly?

821
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: Right? Because that's where we're hearing a lot of stuff,

822
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 2: right is through the news, looking going on the Internet

823
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: and hopefully accessing real news, not you know, Bob down

824
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: the block his fucking website. But how are people going

825
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: to make decisions if the information that we're getting is

826
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 2: basically fairy tales?

827
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, And it's like, truly, the misinformation campaigns

828
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: as is tremendous and the way that people still consume

829
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: media and consume stories and trust it, and I don't

830
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: want to again, like I'm thinking about what AI bought

831
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: is going to pick up this audio file and say,

832
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 1: immigration lawyer Michael Foot says, don't trust information. Like literally

833
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: that's happened on some of my tiktoks. It's like a

834
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: fucking web crawler picks it up and then they report

835
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: on what I said and they never called me for

836
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: a quote. They're like quoting the video. It's like written

837
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: by a robot. But the way people consume media it

838
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: is trust and then later if it's debunked, question right.

839
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: And I do think there has to be the shift too.

840
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: We kind of really do need to question what we're

841
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:52,959
Speaker 1: being told.

842
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think especially when you think about again

843
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: going back to CBS, this idea that since very well

844
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 2: has taken over, it does feel a little bit like

845
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to watch CBS the

846
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: way that I used to watch CBS.

847
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: And this is why there were so many like Molly

848
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: jong Fast is an incredible journalist. She and many journalists

849
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: were freaking out about this happening at CBS then pulling

850
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: this sixty minutes because CBS was one of the last

851
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: few reiraining neutral reporters. Everyone else has fallen to this polarized.

852
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: Opinion going away or another yeah.

853
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: Reporting, and so they were. Weeks later, CBS aired the

854
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: segment with only minor editions referencing government responses. So they

855
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: eventually aired the whole thing, but after this whole drama.

856
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: So it was originally set to air during this time

857
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: when there was going to be a ton of viewerships

858
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: because of the NFL game, and then they waited three

859
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: weeks and aired it during a competing game on a

860
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: different network to basically effectively bury it.

861
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 2: And they didn't renew the contract of the report.

862
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: They didn't renew it.

863
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't renew it.

864
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: So she's basically fired. That's a shorthand way.

865
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: Of righting again. So what are we to do?

866
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: Right?

867
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: So a reporter who tried really hard to do really

868
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 2: good work, detailed work, put all her energy into it,

869
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: trying to report the facts, and she did that, which

870
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: is what we want reporters to do, right, And now

871
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 2: she's out of a job.

872
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: What the fuck. Yeah, Barry Wise, what the hell?

873
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: I mean?

874
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: She will go down in history as the American censor

875
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: I know.

876
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 2: But she doesn't care.

877
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: She's not minted, She's got her Golden Parish exactly. She

878
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: doesn't care.

879
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: She doesn't care.

880
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: A government can censor journalists in like very specific instances,

881
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: and there you have to go into an emergency hearing

882
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: in front of a judge, and it's priorate straints. You

883
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: basically have to argue that the government would have to

884
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: argue that this would jeopardize national security in some way

885
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: that is imminent, like there's an actual operation happening and

886
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: the soldiers will be at risky if this goes to air, right,

887
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: which is not the situation that this is not this

888
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 1: at all? Right, Right, this was just going to cause

889
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: outrage about Trump's immigration policy, which it should.

890
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: It should, But that's not Barry Weiss's agenda.

891
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: What is her agenda? I mean, my god, I mean,

892
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: I mean.

893
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: Well, I mean everything that I've read about her, you know,

894
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 2: they keep on calling her Maga codd, right, So that's

895
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: her agenda. That's her agenda. Her agenda is to support

896
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 2: this particular president as opposed to being an actual good

897
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 2: news person right, her her agenda is to support this

898
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: particular president because for whatever reason she either agrees with

899
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: him or whatever. And that's the problem, is not that. Listen,

900
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 2: there are many people who think the president has the

901
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: right idea right, and that's fine. You're entitled to do that. However,

902
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: that should not stop you from doing the work that

903
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 2: you're supposed to be doing. So if you are a

904
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: doctor who is a sort of maga coated as well

905
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 2: and thinks that abortion is murder, but you've got somebody

906
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 2: in front of you who is going to die if

907
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: she doesn't get one, your obligation is to take care

908
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: of that person humanity, to do no harm. And that

909
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 2: is not what's happening. I mean, and I don't like

910
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: saying this, and I don't like feeling this way, this

911
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: this feeling of like we are fucked.

912
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet, but I might be next week.

913
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: You never know I'm there. Let me put it this way.

914
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: I feel like legacy media is dying in many ways.

915
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: It has been slowly. Would be the death rattle, we

916
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I do see some hope for I hate

917
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: saying this, but like the next generation, but also independent media,

918
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: like there are some people that I follow where I'm like,

919
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: I really fucking trust this guy, yeah, or this person

920
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: I like did the research, or I now have, through

921
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: the internet, have access to this person who's a literal

922
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: expert who does this every day. And I've talked a

923
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: bit about how like I'm a little bit more ethical,

924
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: or I do more research on my videos before I

925
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: post them because I'm like, oh, thirty percent of gen

926
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: z gets their news from people like me on tikbook

927
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: and you you know.

928
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: And again, you're it's a platform that you have, You've

929
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 2: got a really good following. You want to do your best, right,

930
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 2: It's not it's it's you know, it's different if you're

931
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 2: sort of goofing around or whatever, but you are trying

932
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: to provide people with real information so that they can

933
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 2: then take that information and hopefully do something good with it. Right.

934
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: And at first I was like, oh, well, there's no

935
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: like checks and balances keeping me making sure that I'm

936
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: doing things the right way. But then it was like

937
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: there's none for legacy media out there.

938
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 2: Right, And it's also you are your own you should

939
00:47:58,440 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: be your own checks and balances, right.

940
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: Honestly, my fans and people that follow me are my

941
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: checks and balance. They clock me all the time and

942
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,479
Speaker 1: they're like, you're wrong on that, and I'm like cool,

943
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: issue correction or they're correcting me, correcting me in the

944
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: comments and like people have access to that, like I

945
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 1: do sort of love that. Yeah, anyway, so this story

946
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: was horrifying.

947
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's we're going to see

948
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 2: more of this.

950
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,800

951
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: feel like probably the board Yeah all.

952
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: Right, I mean but you know what, they'll actually let

Speaker 1: Wow.

959

Speaker 2: I mean I think people like seeing Tony Dekopple in

960
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 2: the morning, but they don't trust him as much in

961
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 2: the evening for whatever reason. So crazy, but it happens

962
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: all the time, do you know what I mean? Like,

963

994
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: is so funny. Okay, this reminds me of the weirdest thing.

995
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: This girl was talking about how she worked at Hooters

996
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: and these guys were like, you know, the guys who

997
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: come to you Swooters are creeps. But this guy came

998
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: up and he was like, Hey, you don't have to

999
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: go to me, but I'm a dermatologist and there's a

1000
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: mole on your left booby. Okay, you should go get

1001
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: a checked out.

1002
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 2: Did she?

1003
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: And she did and it was cancer?

1004
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

1005
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: See, so he was like, I know, don't have to

1006
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 1: come to me. I'm not trying to get you alone.

1007
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you my card, but just

1008
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: go get that looked at.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

1010
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: So sometimes I mean, you never know, you never know.

1011
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 2: I mean I can't remember. There was a there was

1012
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,480

1017
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,400

Speaker 1: the calls coming from inside the house, it is.

1079
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the other thing that people couldn't

1080
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 2: possibly know is that when you and I are alone

1081
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 2: and we're talking about stuff, we can never get to

1082
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: the end of anything. Do you know what I mean?

1083
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 2: Like it'll be like, oh wait, let me circle back

1084
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 2: around and tell you this other thing. Yes, right, we

1085
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 2: were pretty chaotic in that way.

1086
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't think either of us have ever told each

1087
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,560
