You've ever encountered. 20 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: But that's because like there's no digestive juices, like what's 21 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: coming out like this milk basically, So yeah, it's called 22 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: mukonium or some sh it like that. Um, but I 23 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: bet that's not why you haven't been drinking a lot 24 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: of breath mil No, I haven't been latching onto any 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: titties lately, but latching.

Do 30 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: you have that results? Did what you search for? The 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: results like alarming? Yeah, it was all like stomach cancer, 32 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: you have something stuck in your colon And I was like, probably, 33 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: like I don't know. You know, I have a cat. 34 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: She likes to hide things, right, she might have hit 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: That's what I'm guessing is happening, Shannon. What's one thing 36 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: you believe to be overrated? Ohrated? Oh man, let's see. Um, 37 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: you know I would say teeth overrated? Who needs them? Huh? Good? Dentures? Yeah? Yeah? 38 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: Or you just mean like just the art. The act 39 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: of chewing with teeth is overrated. Looking at him. You know, 40 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm so tired of looking at teeth all time. Everybody's 41 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: smiling at me, like a nice, toothless smile. Yeah, you know, 42 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I panicked. I was like, I looked around, 43 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: and I was like, what's in this room? Teeth, teeth, 44 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: anything underrated that you want to talk about? Underrated? Cats? 45 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: Cats are underrated, not getting enough respect on the streets. 46 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: I'd say, yeah, the internet usually hates cats. You're saying 47 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: cats are cool, Yeah, the Internet hates cats. No, I 48 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: think cat Okay, cats are cube. Cats are also have 49 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 1: healing powers like crystals, like if you sleep with a cat, 50 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: like in your room. Yeah, did you know that like 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: back in the day, which is used to bring cats 52 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: into homes instead of crystals, because people were like crystals, 53 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: that's like two, that's too devilish. But they're like cats 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: still devilish, but I'll let them in my house. Another 55 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: fact about cats is that people used to think that 56 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: they inhaled people's souls because they would always be found 57 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: sitting on dead people's faces for some reason, like back 58 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: in the day. Um, I think it was probably just 59 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: because it was warm. It was like the last warm 60 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: thing for the moment. Yeah, and they just always wanted 61 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: to do that. They've been like, God, I've been dying 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: to sit on this motherfucker's face, and finally he's not 63 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: gonna not as good as I thought it would be, right, right, 64 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: My cat doesn't wait for me to die to sit 65 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: on my face. Yeah, she's just like you are a pillow. 66 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: She also if I sleep too late, we'll chew on 67 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: my fingers. So I think she's dying, like for me 68 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: to die so she can. Yeah, she's like she's tasty. 69 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: You always hear about dogs eating their owners when their 70 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: owners like are paralyzed or whatever. That's always when you 71 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: when you hear about facial transplants, that's usually what has happened. 72 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: Has somebody like passed out for a long time and 73 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: their dog hit their face. That's a good sign of love. Like, honestly, 74 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: if I was gonna die, like instead of bearing my 75 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: body like a dumbass, I'd be like, let my pet 76 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: eat me, right, and then you become one with your 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: pet animal buffet. Yeah. Yeah. With the Kevin Spacey movie 78 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: Nine Lives, bringing it bringing it back to the news, 79 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: I'm still taking over the fact that you're saying a 80 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: lot of pasial transplants are from people who are like, 81 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: there's probably been too facial transplants, And I'm aware of 82 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: that that happened in but it is weird that that 83 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: seems to have happened multiple times. And I do think 84 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: that that happens sometimes. Just gets hungry. I'm going to 85 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: eat your face off, right. Uh. So let's get into 86 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: the news, you guys. Uh. We are trying to take 87 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: a sample of the ideas that are out there change 88 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: in the world, whether you are looking at them or not. 89 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: We talked about politics, the president, the news. We also 90 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: talked about movies and supermar get tabloids. Uh. And today 91 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: we are going to start actually real quick, I want 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: to talk to you guys about the World Series. We 93 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: we live in Los Angeles. I don't want to get 94 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: too deep into just a weird thing I would look 95 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: out for after the day after a big victory or loss. Uh, 96 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: the next game is tonight. But two days ago there 97 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 1: was a a big World Series game that Los Angeles lost. Um. Yeah, 98 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: it was an insane game. Um. But so there's the 99 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: study where scientists say that whether a home team wins 100 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: or loses can actually swing the vote in an election 101 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: like a week or two later, buy up to five 102 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: per cent. And basically the way they say it is, uh, 103 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: the way they say it works is that if the 104 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: home team wins, the local people are five percent more 105 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: likely to vote for the incumbent because their brain is 106 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: essentially flooded with dopamine from like the happy event of uh, 107 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, the team winning, and so when they go 108 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: into that booth and are thinking like, how do I 109 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: feel about my life? Uh, they are five percent more 110 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: likely to be like, yeah, I'm good with how things 111 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: are going, so I want to vote for the incumbent. 112 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: And um, you know a lot of politics actually breaks 113 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: down to that, like how you feel about your life 114 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: at that moment, and you know that I arguably that's 115 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: where Trump came from. But I do think US sports 116 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: is just interesting from that perspective in that it is 117 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 1: like this mass mover of dopamine in entire populations brains. 118 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: You know. Uh, it like gives people a huge dose 119 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: of dopamine if they win, and I guess whatever the 120 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: opposite of dopamine is if they if they lose nopamine. 121 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: There it is. It is weird because I think l 122 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: A has like some of the worst fair weather fan 123 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: problems ever, like growing up in l A being like 124 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: a die hard Lakers fan and Dodgers not so much now, 125 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: but as a kid I was. You can see the 126 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: the momentum just swell up whenever a team is doing 127 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: well in the postseason. And yeah, it does give people 128 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: a little It gives you something to be excited about. 129 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: My girlfriend, who absolutely doesn't not really that interested in 130 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: baseball at all, was suddenly like enthralled by everything. And 131 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: I think it's good because it gives you something to 132 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: feel like, oh, if we win, I can Yeah, you 133 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: take that on in my day, But I was, it's 134 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: interesting that you say that because now I want to 135 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: look at NFL scores on the Sunday before the election 136 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: and like swing states, because the Steelers lost to the 137 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: Ravens before the election. I wonder if they're like, well 138 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: fuck this, Yeah, anyway, I don't know if people care 139 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: that much about anymore. I'm just steal it. I'm trying 140 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: trying to make sense of it all. Well, like a 141 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: really good place you can see it is Nebraska, because 142 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: like their entire state, like travels and like like a 143 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: big chunk of their state's population is in the football 144 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: stadium on any given like Saturday, where like the that 145 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: city's population like triples in size when there's a football 146 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: game there. I feel I've met a lot of Nebraskans 147 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: to who live out here who seemingly looked like they 148 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: have no interest in sports. And someone will ask about, 149 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: like tangentially, like something about a college football game, and 150 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: then they'll just jump right in, Yeah, so I don't know, Uh, 151 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: go go Dodgers. I guess, yes, go Dodgers. So the 152 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: game is going to be tonight during WHI people are 153 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: trick or treating, Yes, and it will be a trick 154 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: or a treat, depending on what side of the side 155 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: of it all. It will certainly be a trick or 156 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: a treat. For sports headline writer sant, do you have 157 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: any skin in the game? Um, and no. I actually 158 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: thought we won the last game and just found out 159 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: we didn't win the last name. I'm kind of sports nut. Yeah, 160 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm super into it. You know, I have this weird 161 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: thing in my brain. I'm really simple that I always 162 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: think I'm winning that. Yeah, I have like a little kanyeism. 163 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: My brain. That's that's never a bad thing. Yeah, alright, 164 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,359 Speaker 1: so I guess there's something going on with Paul Manafort. 165 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: Uh in the news, I thought we weren't going to 166 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: talk about it's it's nothing. It's a nothing burger. Yeah, 167 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: it's If you watch Fox News, you'll realize that they're 168 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: talking about more important things like hamburger emoji's when really, yes, 169 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: it's it's the beginning of I'm not going to say 170 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: the end, but shit is starting to pop off right now. 171 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: We don't know for sure. Theoretically, it's possible that this 172 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: is all he has. He found what while he was 173 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: investigating Trump and his advisors during the election. He found 174 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: that this crime took place years ago. But the theory, 175 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: the working theory of among anyone who knows anything about 176 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: the law, seems to be saying that this is how 177 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: you conduct one of these investigations. You try and flip 178 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: a lower level person by getting them into trouble. Um, 179 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: it's just crazy that their first low level person is 180 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: someone who was the campaign advisor for manager. Yeah, I mean, 181 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: I think, and yes, to be fair, none of these 182 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: charges directly relate to the campaign at all, so that 183 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: that there is an element of truth to that. But 184 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: what all the other things they don't talk about is 185 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: George Babadopoulos, uh, who to the Trump people are saying, 186 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: was a low level guy. He actually played guilty. They 187 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: unsealed that he played guilty earlier in October. Uh, actually 188 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: lying to the FBI about, you know, conversations he had 189 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: had with Russian actors about getting quote unquote dirt on 190 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. And you know, the White House is very 191 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: quick to be like, oh, this guy is low level, 192 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: you know whatever. But they're photos of him and like, 193 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, national security like meetings during the campaign, as 194 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: if like this is someone who is advising us. So 195 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: it's not like he was the guy handing out you know, 196 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: magga hats in front of the convention center. And so 197 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: the thing he said at first was he had connections 198 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: to this Russian professor, but he had them before he 199 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: ever worked for the Trump campaign. And then that that 200 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: he came back and was like, yeah, that was a lie. 201 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: I actually met this Russian professor who allegedly had dirt 202 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: on Hillary Clinton, uh, three days after I started working 203 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: for the Trump campaign. And oh yeah, this professor has 204 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: like ties to the Kremlin. Uh. And it's what's also 205 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: interesting too, is like that he first met with the 206 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: FBI in February, and that's when he was kind of lying. 207 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: He was like no, no, no, no, there's nothing weird 208 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: going on, and he's like, I'll totally cooperate. Like I 209 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: think the next day or two days after, he deactivates 210 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: his Facebook account like starts a new one that has 211 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: no like paper trail of him communicating with anyone, and 212 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: then like starts like using his cell phone, starts using 213 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: a new phone, and then in July he tried his 214 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, bounce out of town and they arrested him 215 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: a Dullis Airport, which is when apparently he's been cooperating 216 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: since then. So enthusiastically, right, Yeah, I say he's an 217 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: enthusis a pro operai proactive. I think proactive cooperation is 218 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: what they call it in the inment. So I think 219 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: that's code for he's been wearing a wire in every conversation, Like, hey, 220 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: remember when we were like fucking callooning with Russia? What 221 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: do you what do you think about that? Do you 222 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: remember that? So? Yeah, I think again the Maniford stuff 223 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: is definitely a set up move to to get him 224 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: to talk and I think also by revealing Papadappas today, 225 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: that's letting manifort. No, we already have someone who was 226 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: talking to us, so and the thing that was already 227 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: known about Manafort, so the media isn't covering it as much. 228 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: But uh, the thing that got him fired in the 229 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: first place from the Trump campaign and the thing that 230 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: he was uh, you know, hiding the money from was 231 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: a shady relationship. He was like advising a guy who 232 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: wanted to be like take power in Ukraine, eventually got 233 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: him to take power, and that person was the preferred 234 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: like political leader of Vladimir Putin. So it's like the 235 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: thing that he at Manafort and Trump are being accused 236 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: of doing, like Manafort had already done that in the 237 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: Ukraine essentially, and like the thing that he's in trouble 238 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: for is that he hid the money and like sort 239 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: of laundered the money from doing that. So I don't know, 240 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's being mentioned that much because 241 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: I think people knew that he did all this stuff 242 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: like last summer, so it's not like new news, but 243 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: it is still I don't know, it's still worth bringing up. 244 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: At the time when he became the campaign manager. A 245 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: lot of people were like, this is the guy who 246 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: like helped Victor Yanna Kovid's rise to power in Ukraine. 247 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: So what And he doesn't really work much in the US, 248 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: so it's almost like this is the guy whose specialty 249 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: is like propping up people who are pro Russia. So 250 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: he also came to d C to like sort of 251 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: portray Victor jenner Kovich as this pro Western Democrat leader. 252 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: Uh then, as you remember in two routine, he was 253 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: deposed by the people, Like he straight up had to 254 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: leave Ukraine and go to Russia because everyone could could 255 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: smell the Russia. Funk are you going on? And he 256 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: cannot go back to Ukraine because he's one of the 257 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: charges of high treason. So this it's a fucking this 258 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: is not a good look for anybody. This is not 259 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: the guy you want working on your behalf. And also 260 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: just the other thing is that the ken Star Report, 261 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: which is the last big investigation like this into a 262 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: presidency that started out investigating white Water and basically like 263 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: land deals that the Clintons were supposedly involved with, and 264 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: that ended up being the Monica Lewinsky investigation. So I mean, 265 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: these cases can be really far ranging and the thing 266 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: that they start out looking for might not end up 267 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: being the thing that is the most surprising finding. I guess, 268 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: oh man, that's such a bummer. Imagine if Trump just 269 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: gets to like run off to Russia and like we 270 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: can't even get him, and he's like living large and 271 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: he's still tweeting, and we're like, can we at least 272 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: he activated his account of Twitter? Is like no, he 273 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: could live with Edward Snowden. Edward Snowden and Steven Signal. Right, 274 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: so that's that would be a that's already a weird 275 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: buddy comedy together. That would be freaking great sitcom. All Right, 276 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right 277 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: back after that and we're back. Um, so well, the 278 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: man of Coort thing was breaking, I guess a little 279 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: bit before it. Uh news dropped on on Sunday night 280 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: that Kevin Spacey was being accused of sexually assaulting the 281 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: actor Anthony Rapp when Anthony Rapp was fourteen and Spacey 282 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: was twenty six um and in Space's response was to 283 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: issue a statement that I don't know, do you have 284 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: that handy miles? Yeah? Kevin Spacey on his Twitter posted 285 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: uh this message quote. I have a lot of respecting 286 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: admiration for Anthony Rap as an actor. I'm beyond horrified 287 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: to hear his story. I honestly do not remember the encounter. 288 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: It would have been over thirty years ago. But if 289 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: I did behave then uh. But if I did behave, then, 290 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for 291 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior. And I'm 292 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him 293 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: all these years. This story has encouraged me to address 294 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: other things about my life. I know that there are 295 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: stories out there about me, and that some have been 296 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: fueled by the fact that I've been so protective of 297 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: my privacy as those closest to me. No in my 298 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: life I had I've had relationships with both men and women. 299 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: I've loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, 300 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: and I choose now to live as a gay man. 301 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: I want to deal with this honestly and openly, and 302 00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: that starts with examining my own behavior. End quote. Lame. Wow, 303 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: he's so away. I'm so annoyed by this statement. So 304 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: why are you annoyed by the statement, Yeah, he's just 305 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: glossing over the fact that he's a petal who assaulted 306 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: this kid, a teenager, fourteen year old. Yeah, like he's 307 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: just like, oh man, I'm sorry if I did that, 308 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: I don't really remember because I was drunk, which is 309 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: like all these excuses. He's not even owning up to it. 310 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: And then he's using being gay as like this reason 311 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: to actually like celebrate and like he supposed to be like, hey, guys, 312 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: the bigger deal is I'm out.

How Larry was like 442 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: doing his voice. I thought that wasn't cool either. He 443 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: was doing a voice of a guy yeah yeah, and 444 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: he was just kind of like doing this offensive voice. 445 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: It was a character like just like okay, no, I 446 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: don't know, bro, and they don't let up. Like he 447 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: actually is truly annoying this season where I'm just like, 448 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: can you stop like everything. It's like, oh the way 449 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: you're standing, Oh the way you're doing this, and it's like, okay, 450 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: you could take a break. Like the whole point is that, 451 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: like it should be like fun to watch. Actually, superproducer Anahosaney, 452 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: you are caught up on curb right. Yes, I'm also Iranian, 453 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: so you are also speak on behalf of all Iranian people. So, 454 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: from my understanding, Larry David's daughter has a best friend 455 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: who's Iranian who's been living and staying with them for 456 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: about a few months, maybe up to like six months, 457 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: And um uh is this going to go on the 458 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: American beauty direction or no? Just no. And so the 459 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: reason this new season has all this like weird like 460 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: Iranian references in Fatuas and Aya Tola's is because I 461 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: think he started to learn more about Iran from his 462 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: daughter's good friend who lived with them, and I believe 463 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: they did a web series together that I'm not sure 464 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: it has anything to do with Iran, but that's the 465 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: reason there's this Iran's kind of coming to the um 466 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: and as Iranian. I the first episode I thought was 467 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: kind of funny, like this whole Aya Tola like declaring 468 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: war on Larry David. Like it's just so random, Like 469 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: in real life, the Iota look, it would never get 470 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: to the Ayatola, Like he's not going to see some 471 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel special and be like, how dare he? So 472 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: this is really funny connection. But then as it goes on, 473 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: it's kind of like it becomes problematic in the sense 474 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: that in the most recent episode, and not to spoil anything, 475 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: he sees a brown man and assumes he's here to 476 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: kill him. Yeah, he just sees a brown man who's 477 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: like he has his hand in a cast so it's 478 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: under his jackets. We think that that's a gun, so 479 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: we just immediately stands up. He yells fata and then 480 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: empties the room because everyone starts screaming and running and 481 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: it's not it's just some guy who came to like 482 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: to be, you know, at this funeral, and that's the 483 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: moment where I was like, oh boy. But then there's 484 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: this other angle that I see him, like it's kind 485 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: of cool to see Larry David bringing Iranians into like 486 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: more of a mainstream curb light. But at the same time, 487 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's like he could have you know, dealt 488 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: with it better. Yeah, but he could have used that 489 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: character and given him lines and a roll and like 490 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: something more so that you feel like, Okay, cool, You're 491 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: not just using them as puppets, yeare this joke that 492 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: doesn't help them at all? Right? You know he's yeah, 493 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: he again, I think a lot of the fun of 494 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: the show is about him doing things that's typically most 495 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: people don't view as being right or the thing that 496 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: they would ever do socially. Yeah, And now it's just 497 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just because like we're kind 498 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: of running out of like the mundane things about life 499 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: that are fun to make fun of or have him 500 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: do that. Now we're entering sort of like and just 501 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: new territory that doesn't quite have the same spirit. Well, 502 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: it just seems like a weird choice on his part 503 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: to go after PC culture after Trump just got elected. 504 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: By going after PC culture, It's like, what which point 505 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: are you making? Or you know, are you are you 506 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: saying Trump was right to go after like racial and 507 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: you know, societal taboos like that. Yeah, that's the thing 508 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't know if he's fully self aware. 509 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: He seems like a smart guy, it's Larry David, you know. Yeah. 510 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's a brilliant comedy right, very funny guy, 511 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: but he's also been wildly rich and famous for many, 512 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: many years, so that that doesn't do the best stuff 513 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: for your attachment to reality. Yeah, well, because back to 514 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: sort of your point about they're not being the correcting 515 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: presence from another character on screen, right, Like even when 516 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: he would have like make flubs about black and white relationships, 517 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: there was always there was repercussions or someone who have 518 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: to come in and be like, yo, you can't, like 519 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: what the funk are you doing? You can't talk like that. 520 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: That was built into the narrative of the episode, And 521 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: with this one just seems like unchecked, like like it's 522 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: just it's just hy hey, speaking of you know, misguided 523 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: attempts at addressing racial situations by people from Hollywood. What 524 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: if I just kept going with that like a paragraph 525 00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: of George Clooney just released a film that he directed, 526 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: uh and I think co wrote um and stars Matt 527 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: Damon and it is called Suburberon And allegedly I did 528 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: not get to the theater to see it, making me 529 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: like almost the entire country because it is one of 530 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: the least successful movies yet. Um and uh So, basically 531 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: it was a unproduced Cohen Brothers screenplay that they had 532 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: written in the eighties. Uh that George Clooney got ahold 533 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: of like back in oh six and said that he 534 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: really wanted to make it. Um, So he was planning 535 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: on making it. He was developing the script. It's just 536 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: a you know, crime caper set in the suburbs with 537 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Matt Damon like killing somebody in you know, typical zany 538 00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: Cohen Brothers like wacky violence, fashion and um and getting 539 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: away with murder essentially, or trying to get away with murder. 540 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: And then as he was developing it, the election of 541 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: two thousands sixteen happened and he decided to graft this 542 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: actual historical event onto this already existent wacky Coen Brothers screenplay. 543 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: The historical event was a black family moved into a 544 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: white neighborhood and all these white neighbors started harassing them openly. 545 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: And uh it was this horrible, ugly racist incident that uh, 546 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, I heard one commentator say, like it wasn't 547 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: that revealing for uh, you know, black families because they 548 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: were aware that racism existed. Already, but it was really 549 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: eye opening for white people in the North because they 550 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: saw other white people sort of harassing this family. Um. So, anyways, 551 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: George cloone me in the background of this story about 552 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: Matt Damon getting away with wacky murder. Uh, he has 553 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: this actual historical event. He actually uses real footage from Levittown, Uh, 554 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: like on the TV and shows like these neighbors freaking 555 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: out and um. Basically he was like trying to juxtapose. 556 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: I guess, like the two stories never interact, so there's 557 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: he just basically he has two movies going on at once, 558 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: lud to historical, like you know, really intense commentary on 559 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: race in the background of a movie that like totally 560 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with that and like doesn't interact 561 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: with it in any way. And basically the way he 562 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: uses it is the black characters are supposed to serve 563 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: as like this virtuous contrast. But I was listening to 564 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: this uh podcast from Channel thirty three the Ringer, Um 565 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: it was justin harmony U and he was talking about 566 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: how like it comes across as just like wildly condescending 567 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: and the black characters are treated like you know, archetypal 568 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: inhuman you know, like magical black guy, and you know, 569 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: like archetypal black characters that aren't actual lived in characters. 570 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: They're just like there to prove some abstract point right 571 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: in further your script on them, which is I just 572 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: think that maybe George Clooney should take a step back 573 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: from ever talking about race ever again, because he also 574 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and six was accepting Best Supporting 575 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: Actor Oscar for Syriana and gave this speech about how 576 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: forward thinking Hollywood was because they had given the actress 577 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in three Uh, but she was 578 00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: playing like a mammy character. She was playing character and 579 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: gone with the wind, and that film is basically so 580 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: Spike Lee came out and was like, you know, that 581 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: film was basically saying that the wrong side won the 582 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: Civil War and that black people should be enslaved, and 583 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: she was like a happy slave who worked in the household. 584 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: But Clooney, you know, in his well intentioned but completely 585 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: wrong headed, like poorly executed way, was like, see, look 586 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: how progressive Hollywood is. They gave a black woman an 587 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: Oscar back in ninety three for for reaffirming a horribly 588 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: negative stereotype and not challenging anyone, any viewers idea idea 589 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: of what a black person could be like right, I 590 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: mean it's super embarrassing for George George Clooney, but I 591 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: do feel like it's really good that he's put out 592 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: the like both of those opinions, because he thinks that 593 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: he's being an ally. He thinks he's a cool dude, 594 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: gets it and he genuinely doesn't know what he's saying 595 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: is not good. But like once he says it, you 596 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: can be like, hey, let's trying to light on why 597 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: that's not the right way to think. And I think 598 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: we need those examples, like we need good, you know, 599 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: good people who have like the wrong idea to be speaking, 600 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: so that we could be like, hey, guys, see you're trying, 601 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: but you're just not getting it and this is what 602 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: you should be. It's like, hey, but your ship is 603 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: turned in the right direction. Yeah, you're just you're not 604 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: powering the ship the right way. Like it's sad because 605 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: he's missing the mark. Like he is trying and he 606 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: thinks he's doing a good job. He's like, look, I 607 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: put some you know, I put a black family on screen, 608 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, but you didn't make them real 609 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: people exactly right. Yeah. This review from the Atlantic says 610 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: his good intentions make Suburbic on all the more frustrating 611 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: to behold its treatment of racism in nineteen fifties America 612 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: has the air of a rushed homework assignment. And that's 613 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: them fighting words in the Atlantic, right, And I feel 614 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: like we see a lot of this. We see a 615 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: lot of shows get like criticized for their first season 616 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: being super whitewashed, and then the second season they just 617 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: throw in some new actors, but those people don't really 618 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 1: have good storylines. It takes time, like some people don't 619 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: don't do it overnight. But like Transparent, Like Transparent got 620 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: way better once they got called out, Like they got 621 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: called out, they took their criticism. They that first fought 622 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, but then by the end of it, 623 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: like that show, actually I feel like pulled through. Yeah, yeah, 624 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: for sure, and exchange your things. I don't even remember 625 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 1: there being any big critique on that. But like season 626 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: two is way better, is it? Yeah? I haven't watched 627 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: it yet, was there any Like I thought the first 628 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,479 Speaker 1: season was all white except for like one of the kids, 629 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: one of the kids. Yeah, yeah, I think that's yeah, 630 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: basically right. I just started watching, so I don't spoil nothing, everybody. 631 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: I was more surprised that they had a after show 632 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: attached to it, but that's a whole other thing. I 633 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: got to get those views. Um and uh and Rick 634 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: and Morty got called out for having an all male 635 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: writing staff, and so they incore braided women into the 636 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: writing staff this year. And I don't know if like 637 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: the show itself is anymore woke, but this show is 638 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: just like way better from presumably having like those added 639 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: points of view. So it's not just a bunch of 640 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: white dudes in a room like cracking each other up. Um, 641 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll 642 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: be right back after this. And we're back, Um, so 643 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: just a couple of quick things before we go out. 644 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: Albert Einstein's handwritten theory about Happiness just sold for one 645 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 1: point five six million dollars, you guys. Um, And this 646 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: drives me fucking crazy because, uh so one of my 647 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: pet peeves, it's like a thing that you start, you'll 648 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: notice everywhere if you're looking for it. It's uh when 649 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 1: like being good at one thing is confused with being 650 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: good at another thing, and like this dominates, like the 651 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: book charts you like have these, Like I'm a football 652 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: coach and here's my book on like how to have 653 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: a happy family or something. It's just like, Yo, you 654 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: don't like that's not your area of expertise. Tell me 655 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: about a nickel offense, right, So, I mean defense Einstein's 656 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: theory of happiness is a calm and modest life brings 657 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness. 658 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: That ship is just straight up like taken from a 659 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 1: self help book. Yeah, that that's like phoning in advice 660 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: to annual It's it's so it's so nebulous, and I've 661 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: seen that on a Starbucks cup, right. My my favorite 662 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: is a second note that he that also recently sold 663 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 1: for two thousand dollars, which read, where there's a will, 664 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: there's a way. It's like, yo, dude, that is not 665 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: to even that is all. I also fucking like that 666 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 1: ship though that you can just write some bullshit. Apparently 667 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: were like, yes, I will pay close to a quarter 668 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: of million dollars for that napkin. But like they're not 669 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: saying he coined those phrases, right, I don't. Well, he 670 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: might have coined his theory on happiness. I don't know 671 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: if he coined. Yeah, maybe if he invented where there's 672 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: a will, there's a way in that moment, then that 673 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: that might be worth the money. But the theory on 674 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 1: happiness is just so it is generic bullshit you would 675 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: read and uh a fucking horoscope. Practically, it's like if 676 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: you opened the dictionary up and looked up cliche, like 677 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: that's what would be in there, a Colmon modest life. 678 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,919 Speaker 1: Like I'm pretty sure he was trying to He could 679 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 1: have gotten that from like a fake quote by Abraham Lincoln, 680 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: Like that's what it sounds like he told him when 681 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: he wrote that. And you know who said that, right, 682 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: Lincoln didn't fit on the napkin. You know said that right? Me? 683 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: I Einstein expensive just because it's handwritten or Frank, because 684 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: I think like the what he wrote doesn't matter, but 685 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: they're just like, right, he wrote this. Well, that's why 686 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,479 Speaker 1: people even like when they get like old hotel bills 687 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: from Frank Sinatra that he just signed the like the 688 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: folio from like checking out of a hotel guy's name 689 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: on it. And now I know that he drank a 690 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: lot of Jack Daniels, right, like he invented Bill Hotels. 691 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: I've always said, like Einstein probably has, if not the 692 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: most powerful brand, like one of the most powerful brands. 693 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: Like if you could monetize Einstein as a brand, like 694 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: you would be so like the way that Jordan's monetizes 695 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: the Jordan brand. Like Einstein is so like internationally beloved 696 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: that people just give him credit for every seemingly like 697 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: remotely smart sounding quote, Like you know, Einstein said that 698 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: ship um, but yeah, apparently he knew that his brand 699 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: was powerful because that's how he would like pay for stuff, 700 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: where like if he didn't have money to tip someone, 701 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: he's here, I'm gonna write where there's a will, there's 702 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: a way that'll be worth money someday. So Einstein a 703 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: bit of a cocky asshole. You know, it was a 704 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: bit of a cocky asshole. I don't want to say this, 705 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: but jay Z kind of I'm even having trouble saying 706 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,919 Speaker 1: because I'm such a fan. I went to the show 707 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: over the weekend in Vegas at the T Mobile Center, 708 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: which is a great venue by the way, not a 709 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: bad scene in that building. Shoutouts to Joel Manala, who 710 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: took a picture of me from the second tier. Shoutouts 711 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: to T Mobile. Yeah, hey, I've I was. I started 712 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: off as a broke drug dealer in college and T 713 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: Mobile was the only company that I could actually get 714 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: a phone line on. And to this day, I've stayed 715 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: with them for being loyal to me. So I was 716 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: at the show, the show, the Ticket Stay show start 717 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: to date, right, vic Menza is supposed to open for him. 718 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: Cut to ten o'clock. He's still not out. Vic Menza 719 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: is not even out yet, Big Menza. It got man, 720 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: I feel bad. I don't know, because they kept moving 721 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: the screens because he had a very not like elaborate 722 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: video setup, but he had a video set up that 723 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: I think something may have gone wrong. But like I 724 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: felt bad because first of all, people were just started 725 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: vomiting like in like in the bathrooms and the concourse 726 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: is because I think they were getting too turned up 727 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: thinking the show would start. And then now he had 728 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of people just like spinning in their seats 729 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: waiting for the show. But that was just kind of funny, 730 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: and then vomiting from jay z anticipation new and then 731 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: there are other people who were just getting started getting 732 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: like just blaming vic Mensa for whatever reason, like, well, 733 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm not he better not even come out. And then 734 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: he came out. No one was feeling it because everyone 735 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: was just like, dude, just get to the thing. But 736 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: then j came out and killed it. So that's why 737 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: I felt like what was he wears? Yeah, you know what, dude, 738 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: he had like a couple of costumes changed, So shout 739 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: out to Beyonce for kind of getting in his mind. 740 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: Is like you can't wear one thing the whole show, right, Yes, 741 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: but it was very they were very simple, like first 742 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: he had like a track suit on, then he throw 743 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: on like some genes.
