00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: And kudos to the Canadian government for playing it safe.

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: But man, am I starting to loose my mind? In

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: your mind? Did you bring things with you to quarantine

61
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: where you're like, oh, man, I'll bring like an instrument

62
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: or something, or what do you do. So many people

63
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: told me to buy a Nintendo Switch. I had multiple

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: people tell me go get a Nintendo Switch. But I

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: stopped gaming in college because I was in college when

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: Golden I came out, and I had a phase where

67
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: every literally every night, all my dreams would be that

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: I was running down hallways and I was like, oh,

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: this is not good because also, like later would be

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: proven true that I can have some addictive tendencies in

71
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: other ways. So I said, I've always just like gaming

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: is just I know it'll become a any two hour

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: a day thing. I didn't get the swish, and I

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: wish I did because it would give me more to do.

75
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: And then of course I told myself, no, I used

76
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: this as like a creative boot camp, and it's like, no,

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: what I'll do is I'll watch NBA playoff games. But

78
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: since I'm on West Coast time and I'm used to

79
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: East Coast time, that's like the games are at like four,

80
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: and then I had no idea what to do for

81
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the rest of them by night. So, yeah, that's so funny. Man,

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm also someone who ended up having addictive tendencies who

83
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: also quit playing video games in college because I was like, man,

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: this could this could really get out of hand. It

85
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: was getting bad and they were turning me into like

86
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: an angry I was like, people would like beat me

87
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: in the game of Golden Eye, and I'd be like,

88
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: it's because you used odd job and pick prox mind

89
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: and we all know that those are two cheats and

90
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: those are not the same skill. And I'd be like,

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: what am I like streaming at my friend, like my

92
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: friend Katie who lives down the hall, like like you

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: picked odd job, this bullshit? Like I told you I'm

94
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: not doing Golden Gun on the silo level again. Yeah,

95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: let's from that ship back with how Proxi mines. See

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: Let's go all mines. Yeah, maybe this is not the

98
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: best side of myself. Yeah, alright, Chris, We're gonna get

99

Speaker 1: Southern vax rates a bit slower pace of life down

00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: there and a bit slower to uh come around on

104
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: the whole vaccine things. We'll talk about that and why

105
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: that might be a problem. We'll talk about the second

106
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: act of the story about how billionaires don't pay any taxes,

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: which is the hunt for who leaked that ship? Who

Speaker 1: the funk told you that? Who told you that? The

109
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: old who told you that? Argument? You know somebody, Yeah,

Speaker 1: about draft conditions out, We're gonna talk about a nun

113
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: on the run kind of We're gonna talk about other

114
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: billionaire assholes who want to go to space. Asked the

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: question of whether we are on the cusp of a

116
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: pop culture serial renaissance. All of that plentymore, But first, Chris,

117
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guests, what is something from

118
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well,

119
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I have one from last night, and I'd like to

120
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: blame this on being in this like very strict quarantine

121
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: where I'm bored. But this is something you could find

122
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: in my search history on any given night, which is

123
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I recently did search Roddy Piper, Greg the Hammer Valentine

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: dog collar match. So I wanted to watch that dog

125
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: collar match from and I couldn't find a full video

126
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: of the dog collar match. I didn't search too hard

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: because I actually found an oral history of the three

128
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: Greg Hammer, Greg the Hammer, Valentine and Roddy Piper dog

129
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: color match. So I did spend the chunk of last

130
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: night reading an oral history of a very bloody wrestling

131
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: match from three. And I'll stand by that. What what

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: is a dog color match for our listeners who are

133
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: uninitiated dog color match? I don't know if it was

134
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: a thing that pre existed these guys, but they would

135
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: do this match where they both put a leather collar

136
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: around their neck and then they were connected neck to

137
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: neck via these chains. Because yeah, it just had these

138
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: brutally violent They'd wrapped their fists in the chains and

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: they dragged each other across the ring by the chain

140
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: and really like bloody brutal match. And uh, I was

141
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: reading last night, I didn't realize there's this famous one

142
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: from three, And then I didn't realize it was so popular.

143
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: They had to go around the country and do like

144
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: all the different territories and they wound up minus match

145
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: forty times that year, and they both talked to like

146
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: talking about how like I think Roddy Piper's ear was

147
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: torn in half and they both had like semi permanent

148
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: hearing loss from it by the end, Like all this,

149
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: all this insanity that these wrestlers put us through back then,

150
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: you think back in those days two when you're like,

151
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 1: this was not like this is like pre Hogan becoming

152
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: like pop culture superstar. This was for them, Like, all right,

153
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: I guess we gotta go like entertain the southern half

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: of Louisiana by ripping our ears off Tonight. Next week,

155
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: I guess we'll be up in Almaha ripping our other

156
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: ear off. Maybe only wrap the chain like three times

157
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: around my face this time before you rip it off. Yeah,

158
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: can you maybe take out my teeth? My ears are

159
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: still healing for my teeth. The photos look pretty erotic, though,

160
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: when you look at the still images, you're like, WHOA, Okay,

161
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: I see what's going on here. W It is pro wrestling.

162
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: There's there's always going to be some homoraticism inheriting. Some

163
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: fans might not like to admit that, but let's call

164
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: it what it is Yeah. I feel like wrestling back

165
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: then was closer to the like being a carny or

166
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: like in the circus. I guess would be the closer

167
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: thing where you came to town, people came and saw you,

168
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: but it wasn't wasn't on TNT like that blew my

169
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: mind when I realized that they also did shows that

170
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: weren't televised, because I went to one and I was like,

171
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: wait where the cameras. I'm like, this isn't this is

172
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: an exhibition? And I was like what they do this

173
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: all the time, like almost killed themselves. Cool. I'm really

174
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: fascinated to back in those days when it was the territories.

175
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: Like John Darnelle from The Mountain Goats has this famous

176
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: story I Love where he grew up in southern California

177
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: hated Roddy Piper. Roddy Piper was like the biggest asshole,

178
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: the enemy of the Guerrero family. And then he went

179
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: to visit his dad up in Portland, Oregon, and he

180
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: took him to wrestling matches and they introduced Rowdie Piper

181
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: and John was ready to like boo his head off,

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: and everybody started cheering because in Portland they were just

183
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: running a different storyline. But because there was no national TV,

184
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: it was like you can be like actually causing riots

185
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: in l A through your like bad guy he'll anti

186
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Mexican rants, and then up in Portland you're like a

187
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: beloved hero pillar of the community. I love you. It's

188
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: not even that far away. Yeah, they might not have

189
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: had to change the storyline, that's true. Yeah, you you

190
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: are somebody who I've always been interested to hear talk

191
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: about kind of regionalisms. I think it was on Beautiful

192
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: Anonymous you talked about like just Weird New Jersey early

193
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: on that that always got me fascinated. That site is

194
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: pretty pretty incredible. I worked for them for anyone who's

195
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: that's a magazine about sort of like ghosts and local

196
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: legends and Jersey. I worked for them for four or

197
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: five years in my my early twenties, and it's the

198
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: best job I will ever have. It's it's called Weird

199
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Yeah. Yeah. And it started out as a

200
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: fanzine and it just kind of kept getting more and

201
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: more call to access in Jersey and then it eventually

202
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people. If you've been to like a

203
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Barnes and Noble, you may know that like I wound

204
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: up writing a book called Weird New York, and then

205
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: they did Weird Us and then all these different states

206
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: that it became this like coffee table book series. But

207
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: the beating heart of it has always been this kind

208
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: of underground fanzine in New Jersey. And it was very,

209
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: very lucky to find it when I did, and I

210
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: encountered some situations that were truly foolish and terrifying, and

211
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: I can't believe it was a gig, And yeah, sort

212
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: of helped me realize like going on to be an entertainment.

213
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: I always felt like it was one of these things

214
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: that gave me a little bit of an advantage where

215
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: I was like, there's all these rules here, but I

216
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: also know that you might be able to like make

217
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: a healthy living off of a fancyne about New Jersey

218
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: based ghosts whatever. Felt the total need to like buy

219
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: in on the system side of They're a big part

220
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: of why. And I do think there's something about New

221
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Jersey that's like a click up in terms of just weirdness.

222
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe through your research into New York

223
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: he found that wasn't true, but like, yeah, my family

224
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: has a story that my grandma and my aunt when

225
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: my aunt was a child, broke down on the at

226
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: I think it was a Jersey turnpike. It might have

227
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: been like another highway around there, but like by the

228
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: pine barrens, and a guy just came out of the

229
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: pines with a hammer and was attacking the car and

230
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: they had to like run their back. Then like the

231
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: way you called for help was there was like a

232
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: phone every like quarter mile, yeah, call box, And so

233
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: they were like running back and forth to the call

234
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: box while this guy kept running out of the pines

235
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: with a hammer, just like covered in mud, trying to

236
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: attack their car. Classic Piney's. They there's they called them Piney's,

237
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: the people who kind of lived within the pine Barons

238
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: and do their own thing. And my friend Group, I said,

239
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: he was not there this particularly, but my friend Group

240
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: has this story from high school that we all still

241
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: say this phrase to each other where they were going

242
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: to see some punk show in a place called Brown's Mills,

243
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: New Jersey, which is we were North Jersey kids, the

244
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: Pine Barons. That was like you know, like trying to

245
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: go to more door to us. It didn't make sie

246
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: some GPS back then, they got super lost and they

247
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: pulled into this shady looking station that looks like it

248
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: was off a movie set in the middle of the

249
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: pine barrens, and this guy comes out and they just go, hey,

250
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: can you help us out? Like how do you get

251
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: to Brown's Mills? And the guy just took a deep

252
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: breath and turned and just turned to them and inexplicably, way,

253
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: how do you get to Brown's Mills? And they just

254
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: like hit the gas and peeled out and got out

255
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: of there, like this South Jersey I'm that still certain

256
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: friends in my life where if I want to make

257
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: him laugh, I'll just how do you get to Brown's Mills?

258
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Chris? People get

259
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: mad at me when I say this. I don't understand

260
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: our obsession with Lacroix. It's a perfectly fine Seltzer, but

261
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: it it doesn't need to be like the building block

262
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: of people's parties and welcome. It's like like I feel

263
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: like people almost I feel like they're showing off, like hey,

264
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: can I get you something you want? Like you want

265
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: some water or maybe maybe a Lacroix, And they expect

266
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: you to kind of be taken aback by that, as

267
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: if you've leveled up and it's like, no, it's pretty,

268
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: in my mind, pretty average seltzer available at many supermarkets,

269
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: and that's a good product to be. I'm not trying

270
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: to talk bad about Lacroix, but I don't see it

271
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: as this sort of like level up moment in my

272
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: in my day and a lot of people flip out

273
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: about Lacroix. Yeah, I've moved on to other flavors. I

274
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: found superior flavored seltzer's that I prefer, like, I like Waterloo.

275
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: That one gets my palette just pumping. I feel like

276
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: the people I know who have like I'm really into it,

277
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: where people who never drank water and suddenly we're like,

278
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: I hate no flavor and then they're like, you can

279
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: drink something with no sugar and it's like water. And

280
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that. I know it's a specific energy

281
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: from the soda drinkers who are trying to be healthy

282
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: that now it's like it's like their methadone or something

283
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: that might be part I'm a very obsessive soda drinker.

284
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm actually, I would say, kind of weird in my

285
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: soda knowledge, and there might be a part of me

286
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: that feels like I'm sensing the same thing, and maybe

287
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: there's some bitterness there, like even on the fact that

288
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: you like soda but don't like soda. But let's not

289
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: have like a weird middle ground water down coconut soda

290
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: that's not good. Yeah, That's why I like Waterloo because

291
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: it feels like it's just missing the high fructose corn

292
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: syrup to become a full blown flavored soda. And that's

293
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: what I appreciate about. It's not subtle at all. I

294
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: know that it's got sugar, but I'm like, are we

295
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: really going to claim that Lacroix has taken the San

296
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Pellegrino crown because it used to kind of be San

297
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: Pellegrino that occupied that cultural slot, and in my mind,

298
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: San Pellegrino is just just a better product. It feels

299
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: like we're in a in a carbonation arms race where

300
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: we're just like trying to get the most carbonated beverage possible,

301
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: and like Topo Chico I think is near the near

302
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: the top, but like Waterloo is also hyper carbonated, right,

303
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: it's like very yeah, Like if you if you close

304
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: your mouth after taking a full sip, like the a

305
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: carbonation would just make your mouth explode. Because would have

306
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: to release. Yeah, I feel like it's like the there's

307
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: a spiciness that like the way that people are about

308
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: spicy food, people are about like the carbonation has to

309
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: fucking hurt. Like my kids call it sharp water because

310
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: it feels like you're like getting pickle pricks in your

311
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: in your mouth. And they like it, you know, but

312
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: it's like their chest is gonna break open if it. Yeah,

313
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like they like it in the same way

314
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: we used to like like Warheads and cry babies like

315
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: candies that classed us pain. Yeah, that was which was

316
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: a really good That was a good phase of my

317
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: child Hell yeah, yeah, shout out to the kids that

318
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: it was like their whole personality though, like that for

319
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: a while, I remember like they were like as the

320
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Warheads kid. Yeah, like you can hand him any flavor

321
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: of Warhead. You can stand here and watch and no

322
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: tears will escape. He won't even grim as he can

323
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: just take down that Warhead. It was a major source

324
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: of middle school respect in my community. Right, it becomes

325
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: becomes mythological like they did a whole pack, Like, yeah,

326
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: are their parents still split up? Yeah? Yeah, what is

327
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Chris Well. I want to

328
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: be clear, this is in no way like any sort

329
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: of like purchased branded average sisement. But since I since

330
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: I took down one item of the of the food

331
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: and beverage world, I'll say my wife started bringing on

332
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: these snacks and they're gonna sound like bullshit to anybody listening.

333
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: But they're called him Alayan pink salt Paleo puffs, which

334
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: I know sounds like something that would be like only

335
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: for like meatheads who only want to eat protein. These

336
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: things are the best. They're the best, and from what

337
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: I can tell, very few people know about them, and

338
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: they're completely delicious. They're so delicious. What is it made?

339
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: What is it? What's what is what's puffed? I mean,

340
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: the the closest analogy would be to say that it

341
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: is in the Cheeto family. It is in the puffy

342
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: Cheeto family, but it's made with coconut oil and it's salty.

343
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: It's perfect. It's The company that makes them is a

344
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: company called Lesser Evil Snacks. And I've started trying their

345
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: other stuff too, and they got other They got these

346
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: power curls. Those are pretty good. They also make they

347
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: they had a watermelon flavored bag of popcorn, and I

348
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: was going, what is We're trying too hard and I

349
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: ate it. I said, no, what this is is refreshing

350
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: and delicious. But in my mind nothing holds a candle.

351
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: They even have like a cheese flavor, like a I

352
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: guess it's vegan, like a no cheese cheese waver that's

353
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: meant to actually be like a cheeto. Those are good.

354
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: But these Himalayan pink salt paleo puffs. You put it

355
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: bag in front of me, the bag will be gone.

356
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: And I'm I feel like there's a chance here that

357
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: if we can get enough people on board, five years

358
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: from now, they're going to be in that pantheon of

359
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: here's your lace, here's your bugles, here's your ruffles, here's

360
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: your Himalayan pink salt paleo pause, here's your Cheetos. Like

361
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: it could be up there, it could be on there.

362
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: They're good. They deserve it, They deserve the shine. Are

363
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: they pink or is the bag just pink and the

364
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: salt is pink? I think it's just referring to pink salt,

365
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: just pink salt. Yeah, they're salt to salt. Yeah, they

366
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: look colorwise. They don't look like much. They couldn't kind

367
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: of look almost like um like beige styrofoam. M'd say, yeah, yeah,

368
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: they look like un cheesy cheese puff. Yeah, but are

369
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: they delicious highly recommend Yeah, that's the Trader Joe's product or.

370
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: My wife started ordering I know very little about I'm

371
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: I promise you this. I'm not like surreptitiously played to

372
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: plug things. My wife started ordering something stuff from a

373
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: place called Thrive Market, and I know very little about it.

374
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: But they had these things, and I said, let's get more.

375
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: It feels like this could usir Pirates Booty, you know

376
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's what it is. Yeah, I feel

377
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: like that's what I think. Maybe I feel like if

378
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm working with lesser able, like we gotta go straight

379
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: for Pirates Booties. Fucking neck with these. It's right, it's

380
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: very clear. And went from Cheetos to Pirates Booty. We

381
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: all want healthier Cheetos, great, and then you look at

382
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: the back you go not necessarily that much healthier, and

383
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: then Pirates Booty the Paleopuffs, which I'm not going to

384
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: claim a healthier but is an extension of the same mindset. Right, right, right,

385
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: they're good. They're good, Miles. I think your philosophy of

386
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: go for their fucking neck might be a little aggressive

387
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: for a company called Lesser Evil, but well, you know

388
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: that's why they hire me, and that's why I said,

389
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: here's the disconnected for Pirate. Look, if we want to

390
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: be lesser evil, then we're gonna have lesser profits. Okay, filmy,

391
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: So look, you guys come up with the ideas. I'll

392
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: come up with the pr campaigns and the straight up

393
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: hashtag fun pirates booty. Well, we're working on that. That's

394
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: gonna be but we will figure out a way to

395
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: market this. But yeah, that's the sort of spot I'm

396
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: looking for. But when you said watermelon flavored popcorn, I

397
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: have to circle back to that. What do you mean,

398
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: Like it evokes the flavor of like the Jolly Rancher,

399
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: fake gas water, and like what kind of watermelon flavor?

400
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: We talking along those lines. Clearly, it's like an artificial dusting.

401
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: But I would say it's not offensive and it's not overbearing.

402
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: Where I went, oh, this feels like a gimmick, and

403
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: then I go, oh, no, what this is for I

404
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: imagine is if you're having people over in an outdoor setting.

405
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: M this would be great on a hot day outdoors

406
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: in particular, It's not meant to be like a candy.

407
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: It's not like a caramel corn with like watermel It's

408
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: like they just gave it this light touch and it's good.

409
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. All right. How did you guys react

410
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: the first time you heard there was a snack called

411
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: pirates booty? I laughed. I did too. Yeah. I think

412
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: I was in high school or something when it came out,

413
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: and then it was like a thing that I remember

414
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: kids were bringing it like for their school lunch or whatever,

415
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: because like they had younger siblings who were their parents

416
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: are buying it for And I was like, what is

417
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: this And I was like, yeah, it's okay. But at

418
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: the end of the day, was like, it needs more

419
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: salt and needs more it needs more chemicals for me

420
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: to fully go there. But the texture I think was

421
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: the most fun, was the most novel thing. Yeah, it's

422
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: a good it's got a good nosh. I put it

423
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: in my kid's book bag this morning. Welcome to dad

424
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: cast your kid. We got a five year old and

425
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: a three year old. Oh, I have a two year old. Ay,

426
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: we are last day of school today, schools out forever, now,

427
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: schools something forever. I've said that a number of times

428
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: than they've been thoroughly wouldn't. What's the response to that.

429
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: They're like, just hand the spiky water, dad, But give

430
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: me some spiky water. All right, Let's take a quick

431
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. And we're back, and

432
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: let's talk vaccines. Let's talk about vaccination rates. California. Not

433
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: to brag, but we are crushing it in terms of

434
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: vaccine rates. The South is not not so much right,

435
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: a little slow. It's a little slow, and I think

436
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: more than anything like this, there's been a lot of

437
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: experts based you know, pointing to the fact that while

438
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: it's great that the West Coast is definitely probably gonna

439
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: reach like marked by the fourth of July and things

440
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: like that, they're huge pockets, especially in the South where

441
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: the vaccine hesitancy is creating what they believe could be

442
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: a big problem because they sort of compare what happened

443
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: last year and are possibly saying, could there be another

444
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: wave like happen like similar to last year, because around

445
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: this time rates were going down. The lowest point was

446
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: on June eighth, we had eighteen thousand cases per day,

447
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: but then on July one, it doubled over forty new

448
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: cases per day, and then at the end of July

449
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: it ended up at seventy new cases per day. Because

450
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are feeling okay, things

451
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: are dying down. Then you had all these summer breaks

452
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: and things shot right up, and at that time the

453
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: southern US was the most affected. So say it's like Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,

454
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: and now they're looking at this and saying, you know,

455
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: because now most like a lot of older people are

456
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: getting vaccinated. This pocket is really probably most likely could

457
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: affect young people in children because they are the like

458
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: they account for the largest group of unvaccinated people, and

459
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: there's already increased reports of variants that are affecting young

460
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: people and these other things that are going on. So

461
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: when experts say things like those groups are quote sitting ducks,

462
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: that is a little alarming because I think for all

463
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: of us thinking like, yes, they're as we might be

464
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: vaccinated and hopefully that spells a good situation for the

465
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: rest of the country. If we have like novel breakout

466
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: infections in these areas that ripple effect you could go

467
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: through the entire country despite even having you know, high

468
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: vaccination rates in other places. So a lot of the

469
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: time they're just saying, hey, you don't want to just

470
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: immune system your way through this one, because you could

471
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: essentially be transmitting new forms of the virus as well

472
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: or having you know, more severe outcomes because you're not vaccinated. Well,

473
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: Southern kitchen cooking up some new strands of covid U. Fortunately,

474
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: the young our behaviorally good at avoiding exchanging saliva with

475
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 1: strangers or sneezing in each other's mouths or wiping their

476
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: nose and then just like high fiving each other. Yeah,

477
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: now this is bad, this is this is not great.

478
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: We're obviously in a better position than we used to

479
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: be when we weren't like vaccinated in some parts of

480
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: the country, but yeah, I think it just underlines how

481
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: much we're still very much a pandemic, you know. And

482
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: I think as much as this the messaging from like

483
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: the media or advertisers are like, hey, time to get

484
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: back out there, and blah blah blah. It's like, well, yeah,

485
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: it's a certain level, Yeah we can, but that's not

486
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: to say that this is over and the risk is

487
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: completely evaporated either. Have you guys had the thing happened

488
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: yet where you're going back out with your friends for

489
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: the first time and then you realize you're wearing slippers.

490
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: You forgot to put on shoes or pants, like in

491
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: that commercial. My version of that was that, I, you know,

492
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: there's comedy shows have started back up again. And I

493
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: did a show with a couple of friends of mine

494
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: and we were in a car together, and I was

495
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: in the back seat and it was three of us

496
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: and they were talking, and I kept having those moments

497
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: of like, well, I should say this thing about what

498
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: they just said, and then it would pass me by

499
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: and then it'd be like, but they okay, they were

500
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: so they were talking about basketball, but that's three minutes.

501
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: It was a weird if I bring it on, And

502
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I this year has been long

503
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: and strange enough that I don't know how to participate

504
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: in a three person, in person conversation. You're killing it

505
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: on Zoom right now, Chris Zoom feels more natural. Honestly,

506
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: right one on one I can figure out. But when

507
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: you have to get back into that pacing of oh,

508
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: there's three actual living human beings in a similar space.

509
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm unfortunately positioned in the one with at least eye contact.

510
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I have actually human evolution. It took that quick for

511
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: me to not know how to insert myself into jumping anyway.

512
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that's my best skill on

513
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: my on a normal year is interaction. But it was profound.

514
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: I was I was in the back seat actually laughing,

515
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: like my inability to participate in this is actually pitiful.

516
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: If anybody could see it would be pitiful. What's happening?

517
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: Like about to kind of like if we had a

518
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: camera on a camera, you would you about to be

519
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: open up, like, well, so much of that, so much?

520
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: And how long was that? Yeah? And then me sitting

521
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: here like, well, if I talk about the peanut butter

522
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: thing now, they're not even gonna remember they said. And

523
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: then the next time someone does asked me what's going on,

524
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're talking about currently because I've

525
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: been living such a deep internal monologue. So I'm just like, oh, yeah,

526
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: I know, you know, that's cool. And then it moves

527
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: on beyond me and I feel like a real piece

528
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: of ship and it reminds me so much of my

529
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: entire youth. Hey, remember when you guys were talking about

530
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: basketball earlier. Well, uh, here's an observation about that. Kawhi

531
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Leonard huh huh. He's very good at basketball right, offense

532
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: and defense, right guys, two way player. I mean, come on,

533
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about how to get my daughter to read

534
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: more man? Oh right, yes, so oh yes, since you

535
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: brought up basketball, you've brought up but you've had an

536
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: opened and opened up, very soulful, emotionally risky revelation about

537
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: your daughter's cognitive ability. Kauai, he really knows how to

538
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: poach a passing lane right the way it puts pressure

539
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: on those shooters. I mean, come on, I feel like

540
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: you're not recognizing that. I just said my daughter figured

541
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: out how to read, and they thought she wouldn't be

542
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: able to do. You think the fact that he's quiet

543
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: keeps him out of conversations for best in the league.

544
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people never thought Kauai would be able

545
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: to shoot, but he really worked on his JA and

546
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: now I mean his mid ring. She can read. They

547
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: told me she couldn't read. Now she reads fluently at

548
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: above her grade level. My marriage almost dissolved over this.

549
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: This hardship man, what come on dissolving those defenses when

550
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: he's hitting that mid range game and he's even hitting

551
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: some threes. Now, get out of the get get out, Miles.

552
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: Are you having any re entry issues? Nah? I don't know.

553
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean I've been on a plane. That's like I

554
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: was saying once that happens a lot, has a lot

555
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: of fear has subsided. I think it also along with

556
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: being vaccinated and being like, you know for the longest time,

557
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: like that's the last thing I'll ever do is get

558
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: on a plane with just a mask and just be like,

559
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: all right, God, let's do this. Yeah. I think that

560
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: between that and the Laker game, I want to and

561
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: just hearing all the people scream like just animals, Like

562
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: when the ball tipped off, I was like, yeah, man,

563
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: humanity's fucking dope, Like let's get back into this. For sure.

564
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: Well good for you, man, I'm happy for you. But

565
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: all that to say is I was invited to like

566
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: a party, and I'm like, part of me is like fun, man,

567
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: how am I going to do like at a like

568
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: a big party. And that's where I definitely am getting

569
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: like gathered like three man combo anxiety, and I'm like

570
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: maybe I'll just like sit statically at a table with

571
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: one seat in front of me and be like, yes,

572
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: I welcome one conversation participant, like a performance art, like

573
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: a Marina stunt. Yeah, just put this card table in front, Like,

574
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about My first party was my neighbor who

575
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm friends with, was turning forty. He and his wife

576
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: had a party. It was like twenty people. The only

577
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: people I knew were the people who are having the party,

578
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: and my wife was out of town unexpectedly, so it's

579
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 1: just me and I'm trying like it was fine. They

580
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: were all very nice people, but uh, it was some

581
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: intense awkwardness that I'm trying not to let, you know,

582
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: be you know, spoil me on the act of becoming

583
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: social again. You know, it was brutal. You just this

584
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with the pandemic, but I

585
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: just had this memory come back that I haven't thought

586
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: about years, because we're talking about parties and figuring out

587
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: to be in them. When I was twenty three, I

588
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: had an apartment in Montclair, New Jersey, and the people

589
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: who lived next to me were also young, and I

590
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: was just so cripplingly shy and deep in my own

591
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: head and dealing with my mental stuff like not and

592
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: actually not dealing with it. And I never knew how

593
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: to say hi to these people, and they seemed like

594
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: we could have been friends. And there was one weekend

595
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: night I'm never I can't believe I haven't thought about this,

596
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 1: And I remember one night being home and they were

597
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: having this rager and I was home alone and I'm

598
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: listening to these other people might just have what sounds

599
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: like the most fun party through the wall. And I'll

600
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: never forget just sitting there being like I should just

601
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: go knock on the door and say, hey, I live

602
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: next door, can I hang? And I sat there on

603
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: my couch two scared to do it, and then I

604
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: I still remember this moment in my head of just

605
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: hearing he and everybody was just dancing to jump around,

606
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: just shouting along every lyric to stream, and was sitting

607
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: on my sitting on my couch alone, miserable, just like

608
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: to the kids on the hill, plus my mom and

609
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: my pop. I also know every word, like I'm listening

610
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: to all these people have fun shouting every word. Yeah,

611
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: just now thing the words one tier, oh man, the Bible. Man.

612
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,479
Speaker 1: I ain't going out like no punk bitch. You might

613
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: think I'm that song, and Mama said, knock you out.

614
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: I feel like might be the most memorized rap songs

615
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: for a certain generation. That's true, that's true. All right,

616
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about Hunts four leaks. This this is just

617
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: a story we see all the time. We kind of

618
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: got a taste for it during the Trump administration when

619
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: like a story would come out that was based on

620
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: a leak or a whistleblower, and then we would get

621
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: to hear about like Trump kind of trying to ferret

622
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: out the leak, and also he would tweet, he would

623
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: give us like a live look into window into his

624
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: brain as he like was being furious about it. And

625
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: then we kind of learned that you think that, like

626
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: reporters were like, you think this is bad, Obama was

627
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: like worse. He like was really aggressive about going after

628
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: anybody you leaked, just like digging through their emails and

629
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: ship And now that is a big part of the

630
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: story about you know, the Pro publican story that we

631
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: just talked about earlier last week where they leaked the

632
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: tax records of individual billionaires. You know, they instead of

633
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: it being like here are fifty anonymous people who are

634
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: the richest in America. They were like, no, you get

635
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: to see who these people are, because that is how

636
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: we understand stories, is like via these characters, and like

637
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: they are making themselves celebrities. So we are going to

638
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: use that too, Uh make our point. And I think

639
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: it was really important reporting. And now the story that's

640
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: being told in the mainstream is like they're hunting down

641
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: the leaker. Uh. The I r. S Has like referred

642
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: it to the FBI, And I don't know, just generally

643
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: in reality, when you accuse someone of something and their

644
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: responses who told you that and then making the entire

645
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: argument about who told you that, um, that's usually like

646
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 1: a pretty good sign that that person is doing something wrong.

647
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: What you heard is accurate. But for some reason, unless

648
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: it's being done by the Trump administration, this hasn't really

649
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: hit our brains as like an evil thing that becomes

650
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: like the focus of our attention. I think that it's

651
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: also like a lot of these billionaires must be mad

652
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: at certain other billionaires because they're not even I can't

653
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: help but feel like there's something to be said for

654
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: like Elon Muski is gonna host SNL and then Jeff

655
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: Bezos is gonna announce he's launching himself into space. Oh yeah,

656
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: like yeah, there's very little sympathy for me right now

657
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: about these people's privacy rights, if I'm being honest, like,

658
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for me to go like, well,

659
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: I would hate it if my tax in fall got

660
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: out there, like yeah, But I also don't, you know,

661
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: dominate the American economy and fight unionization and launched myself

662
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: into orbit like it. I don't do that either, So yeah,

663
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna worry too much about how who leaked that,

664
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, but I bet that you got like Warren

665
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: Buffetts sitting around going like I play it cool. I

666
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: shouldn't think a lot of these people spend a lot

667
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: of time and money staying directly out of the spotlight.

668
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: That makes it um so enjoyable to want them to

669
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: get taken down. They'd prefer we didn't know this. They

670
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: must be looking at Elon going get the funk off

671
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: a live TV. What's wrong with you stay off? Making

672
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: it hot for the rest of the drug dealers? Essentially

673
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: exactly that is. It is interesting. It's kind of become

674
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: a new strategy of like like billionaires used to I

675
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: guess They didn't used to laylow. They used to like

676
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: buy colleges and name them after themselves, so they've always

677
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: like having their name out there. But it's it's just

678
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: seems like the trying to like chase celebrity, probably like

679
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: having more PR dollars spent on their own like personal

680
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: image than most companies. I'm sure. Like that seems to

681
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: be a new a new angle. And the thing that

682
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: they've arrived on is go to space, man. People people

683
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: think that ship's cool. And at least the college is

684
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: like I'll put my name on this thing and other

685
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: people go and learn there. And then you know, like

686
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: these billionaire industrialists back in the day where it's like

687
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna build Grand Central Station because I want i

688
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: want my city's train station to be better than anybody,

689
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: It's like it's just still building a public service thing.

690
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: It's like, dude, you're just gonna go like read que

691
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: cards on NBC television and smirk about it and none

692
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: of us are even sure how much of what you

693
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: do is real. Man, Like, yeah, I'm not gonna feel

694
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: too bad when somebody's like, check out the dirt I

695
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: got on these people. It's hitting a breaking point you know,

696
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's actually just really scary because it's like

697
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: they're going to go after the leakers, but it's not

698
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: like anything changed after the Panama papers either, and it's

699
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: just you's gotta sitting and he wonder. Oh, it's like

700
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: it really it really does feel like this is not

701
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: going to change. They're not going to opt out of this,

702
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: like it's gonna need to be taken away from him.

703
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: And that's what you're talking about, like, Oh, is there

704
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to be like an actual like revolution against

705
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: billionaires because it seems like they're getting a lot of

706
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: chances to go at least put in a token effort

707
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: to give some of this stuff back. You know. It

708
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: feels that way. And I think until like culturally we

709
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: we shift away from just being like, oh, having a

710
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: lot of money is good and cool. It will always

711
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: have like this love affair with like people who like

712
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: have just could you imagine that's so cool? We have

713
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: so much money, like you don't even know what to

714
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: do with it. And I think slowly, I think more

715
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: and more, look more and more people look at billionaires

716
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: and go, no, there, that's that's bad. This they're hoarding

717
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: the wealth and that's why there's a lot of people

718
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: are lacking is because these people a don't pay their

719
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: fair share and they're just concentrating all their wealth off

720
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: of the backs of the people that work for them. Um.

721
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: And I think until we can like shift cultured for

722
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: like a billionaire or a millionaire, you know, some like

723
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: hyper wealthy person to show up like on a screen

724
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: and a sitcom and people don't go, oh who for right, boo,

725
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's a fucking evil doer like that.

726
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: That's I think the important shift that that has to

727
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: take place at some point at least a popular culture.

728
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: I feel like some of these guys are really starting

729
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: to come off to me, like if Willy Wonka didn't

730
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: share any candy, and it's like and now you're just

731
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: thrust the psycho. He's just like a psycho and crazy

732
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: clothes with like a weird warehouse full of experiments, right,

733
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: and you don't even share the candy, like we don't

734
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: even does he does the golden ticket thing, but he

735
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: keeps them all for himself and then just like makes

736
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: a big deal about how much candy he can eat.

737
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: It's he's like, damn, I got each one. Yeah, I

738
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: mean tier point, Chris. I think the the message of

739
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: this leak is obviously the rules are broken, right, Like

740
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: it's so like there was the CNBC segment that was

741
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: embedded in one of the articles about how like the

742
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: I R. S Is hunting these people down, and the

743
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: c NBC anchor was like, it's not tax evasion, it's

744
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: tax avoidance, Like I don't see what the big deal is,

745
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: and like one of the people I think it was

746
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: Jim Kramer actually on the panel, was like, they're gonna

747
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: be mad at me, but I'm I think these billionaires

748
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: need to pay more money. And they're like, what are

749
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: you talking about? How are you going to do that

750
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: if they're not booking the money, But like they just

751
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: can't think beyond the Yeah, they're refusing that they suck.

752
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: The rules are bad, that system is broken. And I

753
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: called him out before like a joke. But I think

754
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett is the one who has gone on record

755
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: and said like, they absolutely should change the law so

756
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: we can stop doing this. And I think he's been like, yeah,

757
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: I do it because it's not illegal, but it should

758
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: be league. I think it was one Buffett who's been

759
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: like guys like if twenty of us all, that's the

760
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: thing that's so maddening for the rest of us, right, Like,

761
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: I've been very lucky. I've I've a couple of years ago,

762
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: I had a couple of years I did really well,

763
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: and I have some breathing room. Now I'm not doing

764
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: as well. And I sit and I stressed about that.

765
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: But I'm very very lucky. And even I sit here

766
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: and I go, man, it really is about twenty to

767
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: thirty people that if they just like, if they cut

768
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: the ship to a degree that they wouldn't even notice,

769
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: it would take so much stress off the rest of us.

770
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying take I'm not even saying own

771
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: up to it. To do it to a degree that

772
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: it will affect your life. It will not affect your life.

773
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: You'll only own of American commerce instead of forty three

774
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: percent that other will help so many other people get

775
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: like braces for their kids and ship Like That's what's infuriating,

776
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: is like you could find a ground where these assholes

777
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: are still getting away with so much and and it

778
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: erases human suffering and they don't do it. And it's

779
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: weird to say, but I'm like, that's for as gross

780
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: as like you know, the Carnegie and the rocket fillers,

781
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: where at least they did go and build big train

782
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: stations for the rest of us, And wasn't was it

783
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: so that they could like jerk themselves off in the mirror. Yeah, sure,

784
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: but they did do something for the rest of us. Yeah, absolutely.

785
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: But Bezos is doing something for the rest of us,

786
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: and that is going to space and showing us anything

787
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: is possible with a loan from your parents. Yeah, let's

788
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll talk about that in

789
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: a second and we're back. And so what you were

790
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: saying before the break, Chris Jeff Bezos coming out getting

791
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: all the all the attention for planning to go to

792
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: space with his brother and late July has piste off

793
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: a couple of the other billionaires. I think his his

794
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: decision was based on him being competitive with Elon Musk, Right,

795
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: he was going to go to space eventually, right, And

796
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: he's like, well, funk out Blue Origin, we want to

797
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: be the first, you know, manned commercial flight out there.

798
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: And they announced the flight like a while back. Bezos

799
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: didn't say he was gonna like, so we knew this

800
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: fight was gonna happen. But Bezos didn't say he was

801
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: going to be on that ship until last week with

802
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: his brother, who I still suspect is a clone that

803
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: he created in order to harvest the Organs because the

804
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: vibe was just really weird between these quote unquote brothers.

805
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: But that's for another episode. So yeah, Like so July

806
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: was like the gauntlet was put down and then Richard

807
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: Branson's ass comes like so you know, he's been talking

808
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: about Virgin Galactic since two thousand four. To be fair

809
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: to Richard Branson, I feel like he was one of

810
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: the first like billionaires like I gotta go to space.

811
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck, I have the money to

812
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: do it. Let's do this it And apparently now there

813
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: are now that these reports are unconfirmed, but reports have

814
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: come out that he is trying to figure out a

815
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: way to go to space before Jeff Bezos now on

816
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: the fourth of July weekend, So all part of this

817
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: like ego match, they said. Quote a source who requested

818
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: anonymity told like this person who Douglas Messier, who runs

819
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: this blog about like, you know, space stuff, said that

820
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: the company plans to fly Branson on a test flight

821
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: of its spaceship to rocket over fourth of July that

822
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: would poise Branson to beat Bezos too space by a

823
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: narrow two weeks got him. I mean, how wild would

824
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: it be if there's back to back disasters. I know,

825
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say there's a new challenger to

826
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: the throne of first billionaire in space. Like this is

827
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: becoming a parody of itself. Last time, I was like,

828
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: this sounds like a New King Ralph type opening script

829
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: where someone Bezos tries to go to space, something goes wrong,

830
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: and then some some guy on Earth ends up being like,

831
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm the new Bezos. But I feel like, now you

832
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: have Branson going up there. It's just it feels like

833
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: a like a sketch or something. The real question in

834
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: my mind becomes if if something goes wrong, and I'm

835
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: not wishing death upon anybody, but just theoretically, if Branson

836
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: doesn't make it this, Bezos still go oh right, I'm

837
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: doing this for Richard. Does he back out? Is he like, yeah,

838
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: maybe we need to explore this stuff more and I'll

839
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: leave it to the scientists, Or is he like, no,

840
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: now I get to be the first and it's even

841
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: more meaningful traumatic Yeah, I don't. I bet he would.

842
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: I bet. Yeah, how how can he resist? You know, yeah,

843
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: because I think that would also like wouldn't that you

844
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: know if if the I don't know if Blue Origin

845
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: is publicly traded, but if you suddenly backed out, they'd

846
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: be like, well, hold on the head of it. Won't

847
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: even get on like their maiden voyage because you know,

848
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: all those guys they have to triangulate everything based on

849
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: value and shareholder value and all this other ship. And

850
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: Jeff is like, he's like, I'm so scared though Richard

851
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of bad time, like he didn't readjust well and

852
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: the re entry and I don't want that, And they're like,

853
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: you gotta go. You asked for this, you announced this ship,

854
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: you back out. Now the stocks are going to get

855
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: on the space ship. Un He's all like crying when

856
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: he gets on. It was like, I guess it was

857
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: a very an emotional flight for Jeff Bezos. The panic attack. Yeah,

858
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, I I it's it's just again, it's

859
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: just so funny when this whole thing, Wow, there's all

860
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: this suffering on Earth. It's truly just like, Nah, I

861
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: want to be the first guy to build his own spaceship,

862
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: to go on my own the One thing though, that

863
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 1: Richard Branson is running up against is that he needs

864
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: to get like a license from the f a A

865
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: like really quick in order to do this. So who

866
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: knows the bureaucracy might end up helping Jeff Bezos in

867
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: the end if he needs help with that. I know

868
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: a few people I could pull some strings get him

869
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: a space for a space worthy ship license. He does

870
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: anybody know? An Like, I'm gonna get my space license

871
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: real quick? Plot like next week? An what you said passport? Right?

872
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: You wait? Space space license? Space license? I don't even

873
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: know where you dm Do you go to the d

874
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: m V? Does the post office sell those? Like? What? Yeah?

875
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't know where you get him from. I didn't

876
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: get my picture get the post office picture from my

877
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 1: space passport? He would need to. They said it's doable,

878
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: but again it has to be that they need a

879
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: a licensed commercial rocket like a like a properly permitted

880
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: commercial rocket lunch from the do not like this for

881
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: Richard Branson, Man, this sounds so half past last minute.

882
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: They also say, like, you know, the f a may

883
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: be able to modify the license with the f a A,

884
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: And it's like, don't start cutting corners. Now with the

885
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: funk y'all, I mean, yeah, it would. It would just

886
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: given the upside down morality of like this upside down

887
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: world of billionaires, it would be fitting that the most

888
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: likable of the billionaires would just blow up like a firework.

889
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about a nun who's at least

890
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: out here getting it for yourself, not not in the

891
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: most the most lawful of ways, or nuns are the

892
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: brides of Christ. We all know that anyone who went

893
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: to a Catholic school has been been like, oh no,

894
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: this person is real creepy, but yes, this this nun

895
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: who was a principal at a Catholic high school in

896
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: Torrance Shadow, Southy, California, was found to have been embezzling

897
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars from the school's coffers to

898
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: the tune of eight hundred thirty five thousand dollars. And

899
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: they didn't find this out till she retired, and like

900
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: they didn't the archdiocese did an audit and they're like,

901
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: what happened here? So over like her twenty eight year career,

902
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: she would take like donations and tuition checks and like

903
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: reroute some of them to like a convent fund that

904
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: was there, like a bank account that was there for

905
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: the nuns and the convent to pay for whatever expenses

906
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: they had. But that was like her like gambler slush

907
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: fund that she was using. Yeah, she was gambling and

908
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: like cracking up all kinds of debt and like and

909
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: just using this fund to pay it off. And it's

910
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: just again, it ends with someone who clearly has the

911
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: absolute right amount of Catholic guilt. They said, the moment

912
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: that they pressed her, she like a quote. As soon

913
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: as she was confronted, she accepted full responsibility for what

914
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: she had done, and she was cooperated with completely with

915
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 1: law enforcement and the archdiocese shout out to Catholicism, noting

916
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: that quote. Later in her life, she has been suffering

917
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: from a mental illness that clouded her her judgment and

918
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: caused her to do something that she otherwise would not

919
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: have done. And I don't know the details about that,

920
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 1: but also it sounds like maybe a lifestyle of never

921
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: having fun, uh contributed to this thing that clouded your

922
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: judgment and saying like funk this, I can start shaving

923
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: off ten g's at a time and get my jollies

924
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: off in Vegas and stuff, and she said she's quote

925
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: very remorseful and sorry for any harm she has caused.

926
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: That's the best she's facing forty years in prison. I

927
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: grew up super Catholic, and I'm thinking of the nuns

928
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 1: I knew and the idea of them, like stealing money

929
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: and going to Atlantic City the best. What a good

930
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: image in my head. I hate that that happened and

931
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: those people wasted their money, but a renegade nonegade none,

932
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: I just don't have. The thing that makes me really

933
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: upset is that the lack of detail of like how

934
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: she spent the money, because we just know the methodology

935
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: for the razzlement and the amounts that were spent. Like

936
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: I need to know, like did she have like a

937
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: fucking gambler persona that she adopted when she would go

938
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: out She's like the habit, it's off. I'm I'm like,

939
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm head to toe him Versacey silk and ship, Like

940
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't I need to know these other details like

941
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: what was she gambling onto? Like they're not wasting the

942
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: money the way I play roulette and uh, you know

943
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: with a direct line to the lord above. Oh she

944
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: comes like full yeah, it's not waste when you have

945
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: a faith. I wonder too, if the other nuns at

946
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: the convent were all of a sudden noticing like hey,

947
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: like where'd this eight hundred dollar blender come from? If

948
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: there was just like all of sudden like weird little

949
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: upgrades at the convent and stuff? Who stalled this bidet?

950
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: Someone in stall? I guess that was just a donation

951
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: from God, you know, just like all the luxury. Did

952
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: everyone have a Vita mix in their room this morning?

953
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: Did someone by a live tiger when this tiger came from? Ah? God?

954
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: I these are the details that like will help bring it.

955
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: But that's why it's it's good fodder for a podcast

956
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: to wildly speculate on what the nuns did, because I

957
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: knew that like there was I went to Calcic High

958
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: School and there was a group of they were mostly

959
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: like priests, and there weren't men. There weren't really nuns

960
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: that were like living on campus. But the way we'd

961
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: always look at them, like what do they do in

962
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: that house? Like they're just retired and likes our tuition

963
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: paying for them to just like yell from their window

964
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: to pull our pants up? Like what is going on,

965
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: like what what what does this one do? I went

966
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: to UM, I didn't go to the Catholic school. My

967
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: parents met at a Catholic school. I lived down the

968
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: block frombin Oh very nice, look at that super Catholic,

969
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: so you know. And I took Sunday school at that

970
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: same school where they met. And we had a nun

971
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: named sister Margaret who taught the Sunday school music class.

972
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: And I came home one day and I was finally

973
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: old enough to go like, I think this teacher of

974
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 1: ours is I think she might be like losing her

975
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: mind or something like it's making me sad. And my

976
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: dad was like, who is it? And I was like,

977
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: her name is sister Margaret. And he's like, sister Margaret

978
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: is still there. It's like yeah, he's like she had

979
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: dementia when she taught me early sixties, she already had

980
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: she was like already kind of unmoored my parents. I

981
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: think I think that was a moment where even my

982
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: parents were kind of like, what are we paying for?

983
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: Like this woman was this that was decades ago, That

984
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: was decades ago and it's still going on. Yeah. I

985
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: love the I also love the Catholic kind of loophole

986
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: where you just go to confession every day and so

987
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: you're like stealing money over the course of thirty years,

988
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: but you're just offloading that ship. You're offloading that guilt,

989
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: just like you know, the like Andy Dufrain getting rid

990
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: of the dirt out on the play or project. Yeah,

991
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: just like you know, she's just smuggling that ship out

992
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Just how many hell Mary's. I'll be

993
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: happy exactly. I got time now if we even go dark.

994
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: Have you guys had the Catholic upbringing experience that I

995
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: had last year of one of your childhood priests name

996
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: shows up in a document thanks published not Yeah, but

997
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: I also have not been paying attention. Yeah, I had

998
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: the like getting texts from old neighborhood kids like YO,

999
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: check this out and being like what And of course

1000
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 1: it was the one who was the cool one col

1001
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: it was the cool priest take gets down the Jersey

1002
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: shore on the weekends. Whoa, my god. No, yeah, there's

1003
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: always It's funny because even though I wasn't raised religious

1004
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: at all, just like that ended up being like the

1005
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: one school and my friends went to that my parents

1006
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: could afford, so ended up going there. But I grew

1007
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: up around a lot of Catholic kids too, and like

1008
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: one family in particular who would have the priest over

1009
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: like for dinner and things like that and would drink

1010
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: at the house and just be like black out and

1011
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: You're like and like in my mind, I was like,

1012
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: is this what priests do? Like they can just get

1013
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: funked up like this and then like eat all your

1014
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 1: food and then like then the mom has to drive

1015
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: him home like this is normal. And then he was

1016
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 1: also like the cool one because like west Side connection

1017
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: came out and he was like, all right, what side

1018
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: and we're like whoa. But I don't I never knew

1019
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: what happened to him, and I don't want to look

1020
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, don't google his name until you're really ready.

1021
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: So you're really ready because it was tough, and I try.

1022
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: I'll try to go back to church. Every couple of years,

1023
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: I'll like go back to church and be like maybe

1024
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: I should get back in touch with this side of myself.

1025
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: And then I'll be like three weeks in and it'll

1026
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: be like, so every every priest in Pennsylvania at some

1027
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: point or another had a child slave, And you're like what,

1028
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: it's always the timing of it's always some horrific thing

1029
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: happens right when I'm like, maybe I could the pope

1030
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: is school next, got a cool pope? Now, maybe I'll

1031
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: try to get and just horrific abuse just coming out

1032
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: from the past, from the very recent past. All right,

1033
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: let's uh one last story. Let's talk about the resurgence

1034
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: of pop culture. Cereals Lucky Charms has come out with

1035
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: low Key Charms in honor the new Loki streaming series,

1036
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: which I mean, I don't hate it, I kinda you know,

1037
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: it's there, it works right there for you. You know.

1038
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: That's one of those ones where I think the idea

1039
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: came before like the prompt you know, like they were like,

1040
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: what if it was low Key Charms and then like

1041
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: reached out General Mills reached out to Marvel as opposed

1042
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: to like just trying to slam it together. For instance,

1043
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters After Life Cereal, that was one where they were

1044
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know, just like Misshapen Marshmallow ghosts,

1045
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: they like no reason to exist there, But there is

1046
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: a Ghostbusters Afterlife Cereal. Wasn't there a Ghostbuster Cereal in

1047
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: the eighties? I think there was, it was there was

1048
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: and I love. I mean I I remember my mind

1049
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: being like blown because I was like, yes, move like that. Actually,

1050
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: now that you think about it, that dictated a lot

1051
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: of the cereals I would get when I was a kid,

1052
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: if they were collaborating with like a movie that I liked.

1053
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of dictated, there was also an ET cereal that

1054
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: is just ET colored baby dick shapes like it's there's

1055
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: no other thing, no other way to describe it is

1056
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: like the ET cereal. Yeah it looks like or like

1057
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: little poops, but ET colored. So that draws the mind

1058
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: to what part of ET is this? If this is

1059
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: just like E T shaded, it's just like it's supposed

1060
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: to be, like shriveled, shitty finger? Is that right? Put

1061
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: butter and chocolate flavored? I guess yeah, maybe maybe that,

1062
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: but then a cut off finger. I don't know. Just

1063
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: never make your cereal a part of the body of

1064
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: the thing, you know, you go with a theme as

1065
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: opposed to a actual physical There was also so our

1066
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: writer jam is making the case that this is a

1067
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: return to the eighties when these child entertainment themed breakfast

1068
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: cereals ruled the earth, and that there was also cabbage

1069
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: patch Kids cereal, which I don't know if you guys

1070
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: have the dock in front of you it. He included

1071
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: a picture frightening down at the top of and they

1072
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: truly look like they were cursed by the devil himself,

1073
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: like just like kind of misshapen smiley faces. But oh

1074
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: that's bad. Yeah, it's really bad, like the chocolate chips,

1075
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: like weird pock marks, and you're like, what do I

1076
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: eat this or pray over it? Yeah, if it came

1077
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: to life, it would immediately ask you to kill it.

1078
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it's hard to bring up this pop

1079
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: culture food crossover because cereals were pretty ubiquitous, But then

1080
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned Ghostbusters. Who thinks about the Ghostbuster cereal when

1081
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: you can think about what I have to imagine was

1082
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: the most successful pop culture food merger of all time,

1083
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: which is Ecto Cooler, right, a drink that people wish

1084
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: still existed beyond its Ghostbusters association, just because it was great.

1085
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll be at the gates of Coca Cola

1086
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: demanding Acto Cooler comeback like it. It was like a

1087
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: tragedy when you couldn't get it at McDonald anymore. I

1088
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: was like, what are they doing like this is this

1089
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: was all I used to drink. I think they brought

1090
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: it back for the last Ghostbusters relaunched very briefly, but

1091
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm shocked. I feel like that one should outlive. That's like,

1092
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, what's the song you know the band the

1093
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: Archies and they have is it Sugar Sugar? Is there

1094
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: Big Sugar Sugar? The number one song the year the

1095
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: year that Gimme Shelter came out, And people don't realize

1096
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: that band was created. That was supposed to be Archie

1097
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: and Jugghead and Betty and Veronica in the band. That

1098
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: was like a pop culture gimmick song. Yeah, and we

1099
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: all just forget that because that song. So that I

1100
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: feel like Ecto Cooler should be on the shelves and

1101
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: then young people should look to our generation and be like,

1102
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: why is it called Ecto Cooler? And we sit down,

1103
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: Sit down, let us explain to you who Dad Accrod

1104
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: was before the skulls full of Vodka. Let me tell

1105
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: you about a little man named McK rick moranis who

1106
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: he quit on us eventually, but he gave him. He

1107
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: gave us all of them randomly punched in New York. Yeah,

1108
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: it was heartbreaking and sad and totally necessary. Yeah, I

1109
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: mean it's it really does feel because it was just

1110
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: tangerine flavor, that was it, like high see, you know,

1111
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: and it's like a subtle flavor difference. And I think

1112
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: just like that, look, mere mention of it being Ecto

1113
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: was enough to to get our to get our little

1114
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: imaginations going. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

1115
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where we are. I think we're lost

1116
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: until we can bring Ecto cooler back. Stay So stay

1117
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Puffed is not a real marshmallow brand, know, I think

1118
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: that's from the Ghostbust. That's like not a right, I'm true.

1119
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: I googled stay Puffed marshmallows and they do not. It's

1120
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: only I was in elementary school and Ghostbusters came out.

1121
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: This is the first learning of this. Maybe maybe I'm wrong. Officially, No,

1122
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: I've never seen no you mentioned that I've never seen

1123
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: a stay Puffed marshmallow. But I've never considered this in

1124
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: my life. A group. Yeah, see this these are the thing. God.

1125
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: See what happens when we don't question everything. We go

1126
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: through life thinking this stay puffed marshmallow Man, it's based

1127
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: off a real brand. Either way, like, I'm I'm very

1128
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: curious if it is a real brand. I'm very curious,

1129
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: it says Dan Ackroyd, conceived of the stay puffed marshmallow

1130
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Man for his initial script for the Ghostbusters movie. He

1131
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: created the character, yeah, to show that quote. It seems

1132
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: harmless and puffy and cute, but given the right circumstances,

1133
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: everything can be turned black and become evil. I know

1134
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: that the marshmallow Man is fictional. I'm curious if he

1135
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: created the brand as well. It looks like it's a

1136
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: fictional food. Yeah, and now I'm questioning everything. This is

1137
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: a lot. It's the last episode of the podcast. Yeah, you, guys,

1138
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: what where do we go from here? Someone just knocked

1139
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: on my door. Guys, there's a government agent at my door,

1140
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: he teld me. Now that I figured this out, I

1141
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: have to go. Now. There's a guy who looks exactly

1142
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: like Chris sitting down in his place, like a doppel

1143
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: gang or that they created. Where's the Chris? Where's the

1144
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: real Chris? Going? Well, what's so wrong with Willy Wonka

1145
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: keeping all his candy he made on hold Ony too?

1146
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: And what was wrong with the Alon muscos he's naturally

1147
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: very funny? That Warrior sketch was genius. Oh fuck, I

Speaker 1: do the women have convinced you that cargo shorts are

1178
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: unsexy because they don't want you carrying around useful tools

1179
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 1: and trinkets. Don't be fooled. I've although someone who used

1180
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: to have a pack to the break m cargo shorts. Uh,
