Maybe it's gonna render a lot of 76 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: interesting results in this experiment, if we even want to 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: call it that. Everything that's happening, I mean, we'll get 78 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: to that, but it's it'll be very interesting to see, like, 79 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, a world where we're so overly stimulated to 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: suddenly slam the brakes on that ship, and like, what 81 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: what the what the knock on effects of that are? 82 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: So what what happened? Oprah's name began trending on Tuesday night. 83 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: I believe it was because of a q and on 84 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Yeah, so I I picked up on this 85 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: on Twitter. I like, you've been keeping track of trending 86 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: stuff because I just don't have shipped to do, and 87 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: uh saw Oprah was trending, and I think everyone is like, oh, no, 88 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: Oprah has Corona. But then when you look through it, 89 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: it was all these tweets being like, oh, I can't 90 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: like if if this is true about Oprah, holy sh it. 91 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: So so the rumor that was spreading, I don't know 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: what who patient zero was, but it was a Q 93 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: and on Original Uh they just sort of streaming service 94 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: at this point, but they so someone said that there 95 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: were federal officers at Oprah's mansion arresting her for sex trafficking, 96 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: and that was the rumor that happened, and so people 97 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: were freaking out. But there's like a stock photo with 98 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: like some police tape outside of a mansion. They're like, 99 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: this is Oprah's mansion definitely right, and I'm like, I 100 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: guess I believe that, Sure, why not? And it was 101 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: kind of funny because the tweets, the tweets in like 102 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: the Twitter highlight that I was seeing, were people who 103 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: were like, doubtful that it was true, but still just 104 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: enjoying engaging with the rumor like they were because because 105 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: people were like, even TMZ isn't writting about it. It's 106 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: not real. But until TMZ says something real in me, 107 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, and so there, So then Oprah, bless her heart, 108 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: has to wake up at ten thirty nine pm R time. 109 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: So where does Oprah live? She lived Monito, doesn't she 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: like near Santa Barbara? Okay? So so so ten thirty 111 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: ours and Oprah's time.

Um has to wake up and whatever. 113 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: She has a tweet, just got a phone call that 114 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: my name is trending and being trolled for some awful 115 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: fake thing. It's not true. Haven't been rated or arrested. 116 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: Just sanitizing and self distancing with the rest of the world. 117 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: Stay safe, everybody.

I've I've definitely seen 164 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: interviews with Oprah where I feel like she, I don't know, 165 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: she is on a separate plane of exist stants from 166 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: the rest of us, to the point that like, if 167 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: we're she not Oprah, it would be seen as some 168 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: manner of like disorder or something, but like disordered to thinking. 169 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: But because she's Oprah, it's just it's cool. Okay, yeah, 170 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: me too. When you look at the OH magazine Twitter 171 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: feed right now, do you want to guess what the 172 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: content is right now on the Oprah Matta like has 173 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: Matt Oprah?

Who doesn't cherish who doesn't 177 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: cherish p J O clock this. This backpack gives you 178 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: a massage while you wear it. That was twenty one 179 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: minutes ago. No, I mean, do what you gotta do. 180 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: They just people got to escape a little bit. I'm 181 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: sure they have all this ship on auto. Everyone's well 182 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: it is. It is interesting. I'd be interested to hear 183 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: from some some hashtag content creators for for places like 184 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: that where like writers just got to like get stuff 185 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: written right now because there's a ton of people who 186 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: want to write stuff, but there's also nothing to write 187 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: about at the same time, where I don't know, I've 188 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: been I've been um on like long phone calls with 189 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: my dad because he's just at his house alone, and 190 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: so he's a sports reporter, right, He's a sports reporter 191 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: and there's no sports and so he's like, uh so 192 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: we were we were just brainstorming stories. Yes, like last night, 193 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: like columns could write yeah, because it's like they've got 194 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: to fill time. And there's also like this big anxiety 195 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: with like writers who don't have anything to necessarily write 196 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: about that it's like, well you need to prove that 197 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: you're still useful because people are getting laid off right 198 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: and left. So, um, it's a scary time. I don't know, 199 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: but we we thought of some pretty unhinged ideas of 200 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: things to I'm sure with your imagination, your dad, he's 201 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: gonna have a book deal by the time this is like, Dad, 202 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: you should honestly just like start writing your memoirs and 203 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: publishing it in the Patriot Ledger and see if people notice. 204 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, right, I'm yeah. That's the same thing 205 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: with my mom, who's a film critic, because like everything 206 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: completely stopped, Like there's no festivals, the releases are being delayed, 207 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: there's no junkets, press conferences. So yeah, it's it's it's 208 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: definitely she should be publishing her like reviews of movies 209 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: that people should be binging right now. She'll probably would 210 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: just keep talking about Broke Back Mountain. That's my mom's favorite. 211 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Then do that fifty days in a row. Just different reasons. 212 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: You should be with my mom, My mom breaking down 213 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: every day one minute of the film, right, are you 214 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: in depth discussion of one one minute at a time? 215 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: But no, she's the whole podcast subgenre. Yeah right, one 216 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: minute at a time? Wow? Yeah, all right, Well, what 217 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: one phrase that I'm hearing people use a lot now 218 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: is draconian? Are you guys hearing that in a lot 219 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: of places? Yeah? A lot of dragon hate. Yea dragon hate. 220 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: I was assuming, you know, this headst like the derivation 221 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: was something to do with Draco malfoy, But that's actually 222 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: not the case. It's yeah so Draco, Yeah, I know, 223 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: I think Draco Malfoy might come from this. Believe it 224 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: or not. Wow. J K Rowling did a cute little 225 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: turn of phrase, and being a transfob, it's also truly 226 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: does it all? We can't have it all. Draco gets 227 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: a really bad rap. He was the first legislator in 228 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: Answering Greece to make laws, and like people were like, 229 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: fuck your laws, do so? I mean, prior to that 230 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: it had been blood feuds and like you know, whoever 231 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: was in in charge could decide whatever they wanted to 232 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: do to people. Um, and there were these random people 233 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: who were arbitrarily able to enforce the laws because they 234 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: like quote unquote knew the code. But you know, uh 235 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: that that wasn't so that he was the first person 236 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: to write them down. Uh. Now, granted when we look 237 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: back at them, they're not great laws. Like you they 238 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: had capital punishment for like stealing a cabbage. But they 239 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: also made big progress in terms of just writing them 240 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: down in the first place, because everything up to that 241 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: point was just whoever you know had the power and 242 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: the weapon at that point, uh, to decide what the 243 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: law was. And also, uh, you know, it made distinctions 244 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: like between manslaughter and murder. That was the first time 245 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: those were viewed as separate. Um, so very early stages 246 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: law stuff. But uh, you know, I think because people 247 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: were like pissed that anyone was writing laws down in 248 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: the first place, we were like, this is draconian, terrible. Yeah, 249 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: I hate to be a I'm actually person, But wasn't 250 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: the Code of Hammurabi one of the earliest written down 251 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: laws in history? Yeah it might. This might be like 252 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: Western bias where this is one of the first just 253 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, I just want to hold it down Formarabi. 254 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, you know, you're we're living in a 255 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: weird time because this is normally something that you would 256 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: hear from like a guy at a party. It's like, actually, um, 257 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: the quote of mama, there's uh, there's a lot of 258 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: baggage attached to the term the pony that you might 259 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: not actually realize and then be like, oh sorry, I'm 260 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: gonna go get another miller. I know this is this 261 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: is when that guy leaves. I wasn't able to go 262 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: to parties and just make people run away from me 263 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: with really boring his historic derivations of words, so and 264 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: I would always have to shoehorn in that I knew 265 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: what the code of hamara. You're like the yeah, you 266 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: guys are like wing men for each other. Like dude, no, 267 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: you guys. So you guys both come off looking real 268 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: Smarttraction Postmortar heard the conversation. He's like, oh, hey, I 269 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: couldn't help but over here that you were talking. And 270 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: then at the end of the night, at the end 271 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: of the night, we meet up outside the party and 272 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: we compare notes. Are like, all right, so how do 273 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: we do how many numbers you get to? Like I 274 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: had three women told me to never fucking talk to them. 275 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: It's info from the same guy that is like, yeah, 276 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: only watched season one of Mr. Robot. It gets really 277 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: shitty after that. So there's it's basically one guy though, 278 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: Oh well, I guess I'm going to spike the next 279 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: story about how season to a Mr. Robot really drops 280 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: off and you really expect me to watch something and 281 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: then tell me it's a dream halfway through the season, honey, 282 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: come on on, Oh you're gonna hate that one episode 283 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: that one season A fucking Dexter. My god. Oh wow. 284 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 1: I hope things don't get so bad that I have 285 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: to watch Dexter. That would be too bad, truly apocalyptic. Alright, guys, 286 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. 287 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: And we're back. Let's just get right into it. Uh 288 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: what do you as a Yeah, I thought, Yeah. One 289 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: of the best things I saw was from Sheila Blair, 290 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: who was I think she was in charge of the 291 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: FED under George W. Bush and into the Obama administration, 292 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: and she you know, a lot of the coverage about 293 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, the economy in at this time, like as 294 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: everything shutting down, has been about the FED and about 295 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: the stock market. And she pointed out, like lowering interest 296 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: rates to zero doesn't help if businesses can't pay their 297 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: loans back and they don't have cash flow. We need 298 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: to get help out there, especially to small businesses and 299 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: people already losing their jobs. And I just think that's 300 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: an important point. Like this is something that I've kind 301 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: of felt over and over again, Uh really in the 302 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: past few months that there's just this sort of feedback 303 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: loop between the mainstream media and Donald Trump specifically, and 304 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: just wealthy you know, media elites and the sorts of 305 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: people who pay attention to the stock market where they 306 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: think they're the only ones whose opinions matter. And I 307 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: feel like we're starting to see that get punctured a 308 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: little bit as you know, the reality of the situation 309 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: breaks through. Oh yeah, I mean you admit Romney out 310 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: here proposing possibly giving people one thousand dollars like right 311 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: now just to offset things. And it's funny. It's so 312 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: many of like the funnier tweets and stuff I've read 313 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: over the weekend where things about you know, just being like, 314 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, this virus has the government actually giving people 315 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: human rights? Now? I'm trying to address these things because 316 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: I think, you know, it had to come to a 317 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: point where the the rubber met the road, and it 318 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: was like, are you really going to expect people to 319 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: not work and also get these things done? Like how 320 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: is that even possible? And you can no longer blame 321 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: other people, You can no longer say raw rab bootstraps. Shit, 322 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: it's like no, no no, no, there needs to be tangible 323 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: assistance for this to work and not have just a 324 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: chain reaction that you know, I think they're not quite 325 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: prepared for. Yeah, it is like kind of surprising to see. 326 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: I mean, not surprising, I guess, but just like how 327 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: this has forced the government to provide some like basic 328 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: services to two people, like just like things that people 329 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: have been asking for forever, Like in l A, there 330 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: there's been like a proposal to just get like hand 331 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: washing stations at homeless encampments for like ever, ever ever, 332 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: and they have just started to roll them out in 333 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: the last week because it feels like a possible threat 334 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: to the you know, the government don't actually give a ship, 335 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: but like at least something's happening. Yeah, I mean, I 336 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: think it's going to take a while because on one level, 337 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: you see that they've done everything they could to try 338 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: and stabilize it from the top down, you know, by 339 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: slashing interest rates and things like that, in the markets 340 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: still didn't really respond the way they did. And you know, 341 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: I think luckily on the other end, hopefully, like local 342 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: unicipalities I've seen like even in the area, like school 343 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: districts trying to set up ways to distribute food for 344 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: kids who are like counting on school to get their 345 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: meals and things like that. It seems like a lot 346 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: of them more uh, you know, tangible or effective solutions 347 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: are having to come from the people on the ground 348 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: because clearly the federal government is in total disarray. Um, 349 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: but I think it's I hope, I mean they I 350 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: don't know if we can talk about what are positives 351 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: or negatives throughout this whole thing, but at the very 352 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: least these sort of these topics are entering the discussion, 353 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: at least on a national level. Yeah. I mean, from 354 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: a historic perspective, it seems like, you know, the last 355 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: time that America was truly open to very progressive policies 356 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: was like during the Depression and after World War Two, 357 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: And we're during World War two. So I mean maybe, uh, 358 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: that's what it takes to get America, you know, out 359 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: of its own ass enough to realize that people need help. Well, 360 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: the Big Brother cast in Germany has been bottled up, 361 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: no no communication with the outside world, and since like 362 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: the beginning of February, yeah, February six, the beginning of February. 363 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: So there's going to be a televised special where they 364 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: are in front of a studio audience, I think, and 365 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: they find out no, well, I guess not in front 366 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: of the studio deadly disease and everyone everyone getting together 367 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: to tell them about it. No, because so they went 368 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: in from February six, Like the whole point of Big Brother. 369 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: If somebody you know what it is, people go into 370 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: a basically a glass menagerie rigged with cameras and lived 371 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: their lives completely isolated from the rest of the world. 372 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: There were new cast members who went in March six, 373 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: so they may have brought in some information from that point, 374 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: but most of the most of the cast has been 375 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: there since February six, has no idea of really what 376 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: the impact has been of COVID nineteen. And like the 377 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: broadcast master in Germany was like, yeah, we're not going 378 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: to tell them and and people are like wait why 379 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: and basically saying it's like, okay, well, look, we're doing 380 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: a lot of special hygiene measures, so they're going to 381 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: be fine and maybe we'll lift the information blackout if 382 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: like a family member of like a cast member gets sick. 383 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: But everybody was like, no, you guys are fucking reckless, 384 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: Like you need to like, you can't just cut these 385 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: people off from this kind of information because it's it 386 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: has global ramifications. Um, So they said, alright, find live 387 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: episode and we'll tell them what's going on, and then 388 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: they can ask us questions about the state of the 389 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: nation in the world at large as well as Big 390 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: Brother contestedt ask about the state.

I mean, of course George's 488 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: Labar is fracking. Uh. They have they have this huge 489 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: ranch in Wyoming. And here is how RuPaul describes fracking. Um. 490 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: Terry Gros says, do you have like horses or cattle 491 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: or a farm or and Um RuPaul says, a modern ranch, 492 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: twenty one century ranch is really land management. You lease 493 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: the mineral rights to oil companies, and you sell water 494 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: to oil companies, and then you lease the grazing rights 495 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: to different ranchers. So it's land management. Yeah, it's what 496 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: you do. I mean, Jamie, I'm sure it's what you 497 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: do as well. I like it. So then um, a 498 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: reporter did a little research and they're like, m, that 499 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: sounds a little vague. Let's see if this is fracking 500 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: or not. And they checked in on just like the 501 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: records attached to this ranch. Um and So Georges Labar 502 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: owns sixty six thousand acres UM on this ranch. Labar's company, 503 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: Labar Ranch, leases that land to at least three oil companies, 504 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: um And and A DARKO E. M. P Onshore, Chesapeake 505 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: operating an Anshalt oil company. Uh. Using frac tracker, which 506 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: is a thing frac tracker. We looked at just ten 507 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: thousand of those acres and found more than thirty five 508 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: active oil and gas wells. RuPaul is racking, honey acking, 509 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: honey Wow. At least least those land rights, at least 510 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: those mineral rights, RuPaul. Uh. So you know, make of 511 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: it what you will. RuPaul's fracking. It apparently doesn't care 512 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: enough to pretend that, uh, he's not he's not. Yeah, 513 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: y'all need to forget about drag queens. We need to 514 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: get in with the frat queens. I know, it's like, 515 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: is this going to be a theme of a season, 516 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: like frat queens fra queens? Don't? I mean, how can 517 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: you have AOC on your judging panel and then be 518 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: a secretly fracking that's shape well, I think you know, 519 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: it's just like one of the things where that's how 520 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: the mega rich. Like when you get to a certain point, 521 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: you hear how other wealthy people use their money. RuPaul 522 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: probably had. I don't know what Georgees does. But together, 523 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, you look for like what we got we 524 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: got a little bit of money. What do we do? 525 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: People like, oh, what you do is? You know, all 526 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: it takes is that one person at a dinner party 527 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: who's like, this is what you do? Man. That's with 528 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people doing. They're they're buying up Wyoming 529 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: at least a little bit out to ranchers. That's fine. 530 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: I get that part. But when you're like extracting the 531 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: mineral like that ship, it's so fucking terrible for the environment. 532 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: But then like, okay, but what do the what are 533 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: the rate? What are the margins? It's a great return 534 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: on investment though. The r o I on fracking, on 535 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: oil extraction, on addictive substances, those are all that's that's 536 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: where you put your money. Brother, If when you see 537 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: the r o I on these frack these frac sites, 538 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: oh my, you are going to be gagging, honey. It's 539 00:32:53,960 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: that's It does suck, especially because these huge, huge company 540 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: like giant financial companies like Morgan Stanley are thinking about 541 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: like withdrawing their money from UH energy companies, like RuPaul 542 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: should probably think about doing the same with I mean 543 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: after seeing RuPaul's Netflix show, Oh boy, you know frack Away, 544 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 1: because I don't know how you can recover from that 545 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: mental I was trying.

Um. 570 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: But someone responded saying that, um, which is something i'd hurt. 571 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: I forget what context I'd heard it in before, but that, 572 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: like RuPaul also has like a really horrible reputation in 573 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: the trans community. I did a little research on that, 574 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: and that appears to be quite true.

We'll be right back and her back well, 601 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: speaking of questions that I want to pose and have 602 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,439 Speaker 1: no way of answering, Uh, do you guys think celebrities 603 00:36:53,719 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: still makes sense in this new reality. Yes, okay, yeah funny, 604 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: But so it's just celebrities being earnest doesn't work. Maybe 605 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's it's it's tone deaf gestures 606 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: that make me cringe. Uh, And like if we're talking 607 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 1: about this imagined video, I can see talk about this 608 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 1: imagined video. We're kind of always talking about this imagined video. 609 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: I can't imagine why we would talk about this imagined video. 610 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 1: But imagine a scenario like this in which the world 611 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: is at a standstill and people who are self important 612 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: and thrive off the attention from groups massive groups, needs 613 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: something to do and feel productive. I like, I see 614 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: the sentiment of having all these familiar faces smile like 615 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: camera and sing one of our one of these torch 616 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,760 Speaker 1: songs that most people know. But there's also this level 617 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: that they're not connecting to of just sort of like 618 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: the general fear intention that people have right now about 619 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: the uncertainty, especially financially. And to see a bunch of 620 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: people who are like broadcasting from like their mansions and 621 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: like smiling, like ain't ship going on? There is unnerving? Guy? 622 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, Okay, So I Kate Kate Raft at 623 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: Kate rapped on Twitter. She did a pretty cool thread 624 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: that um, she like researched what some of the houses 625 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: of the celebrities look like, and they're like, here's what 626 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: this celebrity was like cropping out, Like Natalie Portman has 627 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: this freaky ass like space mansion that she was just 628 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 1: standing in front of a bush. But if you pull out, 629 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: it's the scariest ship in the world. And like, obviously, 630 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: I just feel like, okay, obviously celebrities are horrible, horrible, horrible, 631 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 1: They'll never do the right thing. Uh. Galgado's literally chaotic evil, 632 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: But like we need shipped to talk about. Celebrities are 633 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 1: a resource. We need to do our job right. And 634 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, I think it's I 635 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: think it's funny and stupid and we are never going 636 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: to get realize that we as podcasters see an opening 637 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: to be the new gal Gados and Natalie Portman's of 638 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: the world. But we yeah, that's true. I mean, yeah, 639 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: we're going to take over. It is kind of funny. 640 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: Imagine feeling useful, that's like I think that, Yeah, so 641 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: the celebs, they're feeling useless, they're feeling bored. They don't 642 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: understand what it's like to be a person. And it's 643 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: I feel like it's a good boost to national morale 644 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: for all of us to unite and call them fucking 645 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: dumb dumb dumb dumbs. Yeah. I think is probably bothering 646 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: some people that the only people who seem to be 647 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: able to get testing like without fail are like people 648 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: who play in the NBA and other celebrities. Just yeah, 649 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: it just Elba and and like I think like a 650 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: lot of celebrities have gotten just tested without any symptoms. 651 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: And that's like the only reason it just Elba knows 652 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: he has the corona is because he like was just 653 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: like I wonder if I have it. I'm sleepy, and 654 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: it started out that he had it. I mean, it's there. 655 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: The inequality class wise there is is next level. And 656 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: as he pretends to the Imagine video, there's a lot 657 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: of great celebrity betrayals, people that you're like, oh I 658 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: love this person. Oh no, I would they agree to 659 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: do this? They're just fucking idiots, man, They're just dumb. 660 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: They don't understand anything. And uh, it's I think it's 661 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: fun for us to all unite and be like look 662 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: at these fingers jackasses, because you think they're actually gonna help. 663 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: Of course they're not. That's where I like to hold 664 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: my breath waiting for someone to do it. Yeah, some 665 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: showrunners have tried to like put their own money into 666 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: like keeping some of like the crews paid and things 667 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: like that, because I know that's a big thing right 668 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: now in l A. Is the amount of production that's halted, 669 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: which is one of the main industries here. So there's 670 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: a lot of jobs not just here in Atlanta, uh 671 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: like Vancouver, other huge production and hubs. They're all experiencing 672 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. But yeah, I mean, I think maybe 673 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: if with the celebrity thing, the thing that's going to 674 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: change is maybe the nature of celebrity, where when we 675 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 1: were like in the high flying times of like yeah, 676 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: don't worry, we're like running on fumes as an economy, 677 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: but like we like to hold these other people up 678 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: who live these like lifestyles that seem impossible, that like 679 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 1: keep us sort of aspiring to maybe back to people 680 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: who are like doing really good. But I don't know. 681 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: I think in the end we always need sort of 682 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: like these fantasy, fantastic figures to sort of like look 683 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: up to and and dream. But I also there's also 684 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: moments where I'm like, ah, yeah, now that we're in 685 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: a time like this, like people need like some really 686 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: like they need nourishment from people who that have this 687 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: much influence too. Yeah, I I I mean, I think 688 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's nott good that people have, 689 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: Like we've all generally like become very like the bullshit 690 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: detector on like an insincere celebrity uh gesture. Is like 691 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: it's almost a uniting thing where it's like it's less 692 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: even the celebrity that matters, but the fact that we're 693 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 1: all like fuck you, Like yeah, like that's like the 694 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 1: fun uniting factor here. Yeah. It was like rich kids 695 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: like riding by and they're like convertible and be like 696 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: we're going to our fantasy island to like drink champagne 697 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,959 Speaker 1: all day, and the rest of us are like, dude, 698 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: get the funk outta here. I don't need that ship 699 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: right now. People are out here in Hollywood, people are 700 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: panicked buying grave sites. Yeah, Hollywood Forever cemetery, very iconic cemetery. 701 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 1: People like Chris Cornell, Seclby de Mille, Judy Garland are 702 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: are resting there. Even my great grandmother and my grandmother 703 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: there rest in peace. But they got like the more 704 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 1: broke people section where it's just like a little like 705 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: square in the wall, not like the I think there's 706 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 1: like a legends thing by the lake is what they 707 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: call that area. Um, they were the co founder of 708 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: the uh Cemetery had said, had they just got increased 709 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,959 Speaker 1: call volume of people trying to buy pre death plots. Now, 710 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what who that's for. I don't know 711 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 1: if that's like if they're older people who are like, yeah, 712 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: I guess it's you know, coming for me. I better 713 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: get that plot now. But the quote from the co 714 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: friender was I've never seen anything like this before. Uh. 715 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: And they were just you know, it's a quote. It's 716 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: very similar to people going to Costco. They don't need 717 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: all the toilet paper and sanitizer, but they're buying it anyway. Wow. 718 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 1: So it's a little bit. Uh. He's being a little 719 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: bit open with that. He's like, hey, it's good for 720 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: business man. Yeah, but it's uh there crushing it out here. 721 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: I don't know about y'all. It's it's interesting. I mean, 722 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: I guess people really it's very important to be at 723 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: Hollywood Forever. I mean maybe not want to, you know, 724 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: your family, don't burden them, But I mean I've been 725 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery a bunch of times. Yeah, 726 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,240 Speaker 1: they have that, and uh, it's kind of the worst 727 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: time of the year when people are coming because there's 728 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,359 Speaker 1: no parking. But you know, except for that spot right 729 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: there where they the big lawn where they have the 730 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: movies and everything, it's a pretty packed cemetery. So I mean, 731 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: these are coming out of Premium one and then to 732 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: where are they gonna put you? And you're gonna put 733 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: you in that corner. If you have walked through there, 734 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, how the funk you don't fit anymore here? 735 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: Like if I don't know if you can, I know, 736 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: like the mausoleums, like if you're being cremated, there's I 737 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: think there's obviously space there, but if you want a 738 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: full on burial plot, yeah, absolutely. That place is like 739 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: a park. People walk their dogs there, people play Pokemon 740 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: go there. Yeah, I see whole families doing that. It's 741 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. It is like a park. Yeah, if 742 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: you're if you're choosing between a quiet graveyard where you 743 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,720 Speaker 1: could be buried, or a place where there are people 744 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: like playing Pokemon Go and walking their dogs. I go 745 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: with the bustling thing. That's like treated like a park. 746 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 1: You're saying if you're a ghost resting there, just like 747 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: generally just like not knowing what the afterlife has. I 748 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: just like that idea of like there being some activity 749 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 1: and not just like a quiet like someone someone like 750 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: hitting dust off out the can on your gravestone. Yeah, 751 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,439 Speaker 1: it's actually really common, peaceful there to take a walk. 752 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: It's it's a nice place and it's weird to say 753 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: that a cemetery is like that, but it's for people 754 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,439 Speaker 1: who aren't familiar because you're like, yeah, when you watch 755 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 1: the movies there, there's a thing called Sinespio where they 756 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: will play older films or like semi newte like cult film, 757 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: pulp fiction, clueless things that they know they can generate 758 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of people to come. You bring your blankets 759 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: and ship, you sit out on the lawn watch it. 760 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes they have concerts, drinks. You're not you're not desecrating 761 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: graves or anything like that. But that just happens to 762 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: be a thing that we do in Los Angeles because 763 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 1: we party in graveyards.
