I 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: don't know. I think everyone is certain like this is 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: like a new kind of content, which is like postlockdown porn, 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: which is like, yeah, man, like show me how I'm 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna Jim after this or show me how uh. And 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if this makes me want to go 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: to the gym more or less. It just seems like 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: the dividers are there. I don't know what that means 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: for air flow. I don't know what that means for anything, 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: but it has a lot of people like talking, I 21 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: guess now they're you know, they don't have the water 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: fountains accessible, Like every other seat has been taken out. 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: There's like alcoholic so a lot of gym's everywhere kind 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: of trying to do new things. But it's after talking 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: about you know, viral load last week, I'm having trouble, 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, finding a way to think that all of 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: this is like totally totally safe. Yeah. Um, I'm also 28 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: so another thing that's related is there's a Twitter topic 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: that is what dining at top restaurants will look like 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: after COVID nineteen, and the only picture they have is 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: a divider, and then they're like, yeah, temperature checks and dividers, 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: which yeah, not not exactly a sci fi movie. This 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: is the most restaurants are willing to spend to insur 34 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: the safety a divider. But I do think that, uh, 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: I like some of the articles I've read about how 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: Taiwan was able to like get on top of ship 37 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: pretty quickly um in South Korea, and it was because 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: they had the experience with stars bird flu um. Like 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: the stuff that they were doing was pretty subtle. It 40 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: was basically just like they started everybody started wearing masks, 41 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: people like started social distancing a little bit. So maybe 42 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: maybe a little can go a long way. Um, because 43 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: those are places that didn't end up having to huddle 44 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: inside like it was a fallout shelter. Um. Well. Yeah, 45 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: in some cultures, especially in Asia, we have social distancing 46 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: built into our culture. Like we're not hugging all the time, 47 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: we're not kissing people when we meet them. We bow, 48 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: you know, like we wear masks when we feel sick. 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of like cultural advantages. But I'm 50 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: still curious, Like Japan has surprisingly been not as hard 51 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: hit as I thought it was going to be, considering 52 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: like what Abe was doing at the wheel over there. 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: But hey, no news is good. What what is the 54 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: opposite of that culture, like having social distancing built in 55 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: would would that be like Western Europe with all the kissing? Yeah, exactly, 56 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: like when people it's called that because they French kiss 57 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: when they greet each other, right, I don't know your 58 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: tongue kiss when you meet a French person. Yeah, No, 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean I think in Japan, right, Like me being 60 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: American half American, I go there, I hug my relative, 61 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: like I see my family. I hugged them like, that's 62 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: just because my black side is very affectionate. So I 63 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: so I have that in built, and I go to 64 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Japan and I'm like, yo, bring it in, Aunt Auntie, 65 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: and she's like, oh wow, this is fun fun hug. Okay, 66 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: like it's not like oh funck no, but it's just 67 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it's novel, but it all depends. 68 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: I mean like there are hey, I know Japanese families 69 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: that are not like others that are very affectionate, but 70 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: other ones, it's like affection happens, you know, when you're 71 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: much younger, and then you become an adult and it's 72 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: very much like an adult thing. But I still I 73 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: still forced my mom into the hug, but she likes 74 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: I reserve all their physical contact for when they're drunk. Um. 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: Harry Styles is trending, uh, Sophie Lichterman for us the video, 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: she was like, just for when Jack asks why this 77 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: is trending?

So because that's what a lot 98 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: of look, a lot of that wasn't happening, you know 99 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: what I mean. Moderna is is trending. That is a 100 00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company that might have uh founder vacts. They said 101 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: they had a very promising second phase of testing for 102 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: a vaccine, and people were developing antibodies and the risks 103 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: seemed low. All that to say like, yeah, that's great. 104 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: That's nowhere near close to what us being out of 105 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: the woods. But this a few pharmaceutical researchers have said, there, 106 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: they have found some they've made some pretty promising developments. 107 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: So now they will move into a third phase of testing, 108 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: which would be like thousands upon thousands, like tens of 109 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: thousands of people trying this out. Uh, to then be like, okay, 110 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: is it is this ready to go to market? But 111 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: a lot of them are all caution like, look, this 112 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: is not this isn't something you're going to see at 113 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: the end of this year ready to roll out or 114 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: even as early as the very beginning of next year. 115 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: But this is the speed at which we have to 116 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: develop these things to make sure they're safe and also 117 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: like make sure supply chains are all intact so you 118 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: can actually start cranking out like billions of doses. Um so, 119 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: but you know, the stock market loves it, and we 120 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: love to see it when the stock market loves it. Yeah, 121 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: so their pricess surging. I need more armor for my 122 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: wage slaves to go into battle, and then finally Marbulo 123 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: one is trending, or at least people on our threat 124 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: are talking about it. Um, this is something that I 125 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: just watched for the first time about fifteen minutes ago. Um, 126 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: it's Marble racing. It's a lot of fun to watch. 127 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's kind of hypnotic. Weirdly, well, it feels 128 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: like it belongs in one of those Reddit threads of 129 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: like better like oddly satisfying. Yeah, it's just one of those. 130 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, that's what it is. It's hypnotic. A 131 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: lot of people like it's scratches that sports itch. I 132 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: think that's what could have jokingly when it came out, 133 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: this is not scratch any sporting I don't have the 134 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: marble's you know, I hate to be you know, treat 135 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: all marbles the same, but they all look alike to me, 136 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: so it's hard for me to determine which marble I 137 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: want to get behind. Just like keep it simple, like yellow, 138 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: like just do Roy gibiv out those marbles. So it's 139 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: really easy to follow. But it is cool because the 140 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: time that's put into these races is amazing, Like they're 141 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: full on graphics packages, there's like splits, there's like everything's 142 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: being like properly recorded. It seems like from a from 143 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: a lap time perspective. So I think it's more fun 144 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: to see that, like that effort put into something because 145 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm not out here being like, man, I'm about to 146 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: forget soccer. Baby, it's the new wave. Everybody's gonna be 147 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: just watching Marbula one. But it does. So I My 148 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: question was, wait, was this happening before quarantine or is 149 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: this something somebody like specifically made. But this is the 150 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: whole world, Like there there is some venture capitalists somewhere 151 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: who's like, Marbula one is the future. Man, we gotta 152 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: like blow this league out. We're gonna it's gonna be 153 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: like the way they talked about E Sports. I feel 154 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: like marbu La one probably has like investors. It's amazing 155 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: to look on this one channel gels Marble runs.
