00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,280

37
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: to Susan's with some chalk sun. Uh and saying hey, Susie, please,

38
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,400

00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: the police said did not seem like an overt threat.

41
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Please and thank you. It's not enough to just say please.

42
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: If you don't say please and thank you, then it's

43
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: a threat. The police will be called. Well, Miles, that

44
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: was wonderful. Anytime there's a backing track, it feels like

45
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: a wrestling entrance, like, oh sure, sure, and I'm like,

46

Speaker 1: what's happening, what's happening here? He's coming down from the rafters. Yeah, yeah, Well,

00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by

48
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: a very talented writer, comedian, and film producer, co founder

49
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: of the inclusion focused film and media incubator Big Vision,

50
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: Empty Wallet. It's Danny Faith. Hello. I wish I had

51
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: a really cool prepared intro. Okay, I mean look, I

52
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: would say, next, what's your favorite karaoke song? And then

53
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: try and find a spin on those lyrics that make

54
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: it about you. I feel like that's always the easiest

55
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: way for somebody to improve the song. But no pressure,

56
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to do it right now. Next time,

57
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: I'll spare you. I Also, I need a new I

58
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: need a new karaoke song. But my former business partner

59
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: walked down the aisle at her wedding to careless Whisper,

60
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: and I just thought that that was brilliant. Wow, that's

61
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: a meme right there. Wait, but what do you have

62
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: a favorite karaoke song? I'm not gonna make you think,

63
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: but it just in general, just that it's always nice

64
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: to know where people are at with their carecters. I

65
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: tend to go nineties songs that crowd would like to

66
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: sing really well. It's like not that they're necessarily my

67
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: favorite songs. And then when I get really drunk, I

68
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: always seem to request the theme from Full House. People

69
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: love it. I mean, that's another nine that the going

70
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: to appreciate it. Yeah, but it has this verse. It

71
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: has this verse in the middle that we don't know right,

72
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of like the theme from Fresh Prince has the

73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: same thing. It has a verse that wasn't It wasn't

74
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: and yeah that wasn't in the TV version of it?

75
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Is it about about the cab rod that's stinky? What

76
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: happens in the middle verse of the Fresh Prince one? Oh,

77
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but yeah, it definitely prolongs his trip. Yeah,

78
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: there's a transphobic verse and cheers. I think so absolutely. Yeah,

79
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: those those hidden verses where they were like maybe maybe

80
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: not maybe here and the end they're like, let's just

81
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: focus on the fact that he came to bel Air

82
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: a little problematic. I don't know why that's necessary. Just

83
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: say that the cab smelled weird. Yeah, go home, smell

84
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: you later, or yo home's smell you later, Yo home.

85
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: I think it's your home, smell you later. All right, Yeah,

86
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: that's what I think. My friend's dad thought it was

87
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: go home, smell you later, and he like loved to

88
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: make fun of him for that, and I was like,

89
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it kind of works. He is saying by

90
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: whatever happened to predictability, thank you man the paper boy?

91
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: That that that's a little conservative and regressive. Happened to

92
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: the weak man? The paper boy? No contraception. You're like, way,

93
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: what the fuck? Wait are these lyrics? How did I

94
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: get delivered here? Yeah? Wow? What a song? What a song?

95
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: What a song? I like your altruism though, as a

96
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: karaoke like selector, where you're like, let me get a

97
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: torch song, going to turn up the crowd, and then

98
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: if there's a little treat for me, it's gonna be

99
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: what's the what's the full name? Everywhere you look at

100
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: the full house? But I think that's how that ends. Anyways, Danny,

101
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: we're going to get to know you a little bit

102
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners

103
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: a couple of the things we're talking about. There's a

104
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: big water disaster looming over California and yeah, I don't know.

105
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: I was reading about it and I was like, Oh,

106
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: you need like hundreds of different politicians to agree on this.

107
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just one of those stories

108
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: that felt like it hit a little different now than

109
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: it would have even a few years ago. It feels

110
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: like with a lot of politicians being fully unmoored from reality.

111
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the mom

112
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: who went on the Jesse Waters Show. Is that his

113
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: name Jesse Waters? Yeah, on Fox and talked about the

114
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: evils of critical race theory when it comes to her

115
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: bi racial fourteen year old son. We're gonna talk about

116
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: Megan McCain, my favorite author, all of that, plenty more.

117
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: But first, Danny, we do like to ask our guests

118
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Well, you are

119
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: in luck because I was doing a lot of research

120
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: for different projects this week. I feel like going into

121
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: any writer or creator or comedian search history is just dangerous.

122
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: And I've been doing research for a project I don't

123
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: want to say that much about because it's in the

124
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: very beginning stages and it's something I'm writing with two

125
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: other people. But I was looking up Nazis on Long Island.

126
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: I grew up on Long Island. There's a town that

127
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: I've been obsessed with for a while, or obsessed with

128
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: learning more about Automa, actually obsessed with this place. But

129
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: it's called yap Hank And until seventeen, the town was

130
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: basically run by Nazis. And yeah, yeah, five years ago

131
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: and in inen there was a federal lawsuit where they

132
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: finally weren't allowed to only sell homes to German Americans anymore.

133
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: But there, you know, in the in the nineteen thirties,

134
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: there was a summer camp there where they had a

135
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: special train that ran straight from Penn Station to the

136
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: summer camp every weekend. And it was a training ground

137
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: for Hitler youth and it was called Camp Siegfried. And

138
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: it's this crazy place that no one seems to know exists.

139
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Except for the people who were there who definitely know

140
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: it exists. And you know, I was reading all of

141
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: these articles and of course when they interviewed people in

142
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: the town, they were like, well, there's nothing to see here,

143
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: but but it's super fascinating. That's just Adolf Hitler Street.

144
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: It was Adolf Hitler Street. Yeah. Yeah, the main street

145
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: was called Adolf Hitler Street. There was Gebel Street, there

146
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: was Garing Street, not until I think they changed that earlier. Yeah,

147
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: yeah right. They're like okay, and the script is so

148
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: like aggressively third Reich on these streets signs, You're like wow,

149
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: like it's like a log cabin behind it on Adolf

150
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: Hitler Street. Actually don't know. I can't visually play. It's

151
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: just based on you saying that the third Reich funt

152
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: what Let let me look it up now, like here here,

153
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: let me just put the link into the chat helvetica.

154
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: Is it healthy? It's just that very like stylized, like

155
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: scripted handwriting, like highly seraphed. Oh yeah, yeah, there it is.

156
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, like when you see stuff written in that,

157
00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: like for me as a person of color, on my

158
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: maybe they're like not just Germany, old Germany. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

159
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: mother Motherland, Germany, so yeah, it's it. Also, you will

160
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: find that script at like EPCOT Germany, right, yeah, yeah, okay,

161
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: it's Bavarian script. Probably it's what it's called like in

162
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: Microsoft Word or whatever. How did you first hear about yeah, pank,

163
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: like growing up in Long Island. I I definitely didn't

164
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: hear about it growing up, So it's like it's that

165
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: much of a thing where it's like you only heard

166
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: tell maybe later in life, Like it was very Yeah,

167
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: a few years ago and I was doing research for

168
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: something else I found it. But I'm surprised I didn't

169
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: find out about it growing up, because we used to

170
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: find out about all of these weird places and go

171
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: to drive to them and and look around because there's

172
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: like what else is there to do? And when I

173
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: lived in Kentucky, there's a place called Hell House and

174
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: it was just a house those supposedly like people have

175
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: been possessed by the devil there, and we would like

176
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: go drive by it and I would get scared, and

177
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: I was driving. I was of driving age, and I

178
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: was like who I would drive a little faster, but oh, ship,

179
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: do you ever go to Gravity Hill? I don't know

180
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: what that is. Oh man, you don't know about gravity

181
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: Hill the magnetic hill, Like I mean that sounds like

182
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: some ship I would still go to, Like oh yeah, yeah,

183
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: oh man, the vortex here is crazy. Man. It makes

184
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: it sort of like this, like it's an optical illusion

185
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: where it looks like this downhill slope is actually slightly uphill.

186
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: So when you put it in newt like and you're like,

187
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: it's an optical illusion, asshole. But I'm putting this on

188
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: my list of things to do an that way. Oh yeah,

189
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: gravity Hill, you know, shout out to Somar, shout out

190
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: to the deeper parts of the valley. So I how

191
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: like this is one of those things that I don't know.

192
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: I assumed, like coming out of school that I knew

193
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: most of the cool stuff. Like not not that this

194
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: is cool, but it definitely makes the world like oh damn.

195
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: They're like still Nazis out there, Like how is this

196
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: not a movie? How is this not like a cover

197
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: story of every like do you have any sense of

198
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: like why this wasn't covered more? I think there I

199
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: know that in New York anyway, I think people kind

200
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: of like to pretend that that New York has always

201
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: been really liberal and all of this stuff is never there,

202
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: so I have a feeling that that's it. But I

203
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up near this town. This town was

204
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: in Suffolk County, so further out on Long Island. I

205
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: grew up really close to Queens in Nassau County. And

206
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: even in Nassau County, there was this place. It's like

207
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: it's a wedding venue now called the New Hyde Park

208
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: in and I went to Sweet sixteens there and I think, no,

209
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: my problem wasn't there is it a different place? But

210
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: but I went to Sweet Sixteens there and other like

211
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: school events, and that was the Nazi headquarters of Nasau

212
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: County d And so that's so insane to me. And uh,

213
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: but but this, but you know, the stuff has always

214
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: been there. There was a big Nazi rally in Madison

215
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Square Garden in the thirties and like it was always

216
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: a part of of the history of of New York.

217
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: It's just you know, like the things that you never

218
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: learned about. Yeah, I've been thinking a little bit more

219
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: about fascism in America for no particular reason having to

220
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: do with the news or anything. But yeah, people forget that,

221
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: like it could have gone either way there for for

222
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: a while in the in the thirties, the business plot

223
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: it was dicey times. And now we've relatedly decided what

224
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: if we did go and what if we did decide

225
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: to join up with with the Nazis? So what is

226
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? So this is a little

227
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: bit of a complicated answer. I so I love our

228
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: culture's recent fascination with cults and cons and all of

229
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: the documentaries and and documentary series on on Netflix and

230
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: the other platforms that are focused on on these criminals.

231
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: But I think the documentary series are overrated and way

232
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: too long, and I wish that they would all just

233
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: be movies, like dramatic feature films. You mean, no, even

234
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: if it's a documentary, just just condense it into ninety

235
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: minutes and tell us the story. I feel like it

236
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be a series, and they they've gotten

237
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: too too long. And I watched a really good one

238
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: that that's, you know, probably ninety minutes, and it it

239
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: like really helped me realize how long the other ones are.

240
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: I watched Our Father, which is about this doctor, this

241
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: fertility doctor who swapped out his sperm and fathered I

242
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: won't say the number because then it's kind of a spoiler.

243
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: But he fathered all of these children, and he even

244
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: swapped out the sperm of like his best friend and

245
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and and used his instead, and it's like it's insane.

246
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: In the beginning, I was watching it and I was

247
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: like like, is this so bad? Like how is this

248
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: going to get interesting? And then it's like got totally crazy.

249
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: And the craziest part about it is that this all

250
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: took place in Indiana and in the end he wasn't

251
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: really convicted of a crime and him and his best

252
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: friend are still tight to this day. There the water

253
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: under the Bridge. Yeah wow, Yeah. I was watching that

254
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: other documentary about that guy in the UK who was

255
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: like convincing all those people that they were like on

256
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: the run from like am I like from m I

257
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: five because they were caught up in ship? Do you

258
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: know that documentary? I forget what it's called. It's it's

259
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: another one where like the premises really interesting, but it's like, yo,

260
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: this is it's like fucking four episodes. I feel like

261
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: you could have told me the whole thing in like

262
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: two hours, probably, But yeah, I do. I do find

263
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: myself being like, okay, you found that this is a

264
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: way to stretch people's viewing time a lot, because I

265
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: think they realize, oh, like we've got like a you know,

266
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: lost type cliffhanger ending sort of pattern we can get

267
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: people into. Or it's like, oh and you gotta you

268
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: gotta watch the next one now to learn who the

269
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: detective is. That's gonna look into it because that's a

270
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: whole episode, and yeah, it gets a little tiring for sure.

271
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I love this overrated. I think that's right. I think

272
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: that the default should be docuseries and then like if necessary,

273
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: like The Staircase. Probably, I think earned it's it's a

274
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: long running time, even though I only watched like three

275
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: of them and then got bored. But it does seem

276
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: like it's very twisty tourney and they were learning things

277
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: other went. But for the most part, yeah, don't don't

278
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: stretch it. And albums too, like albums don't need to

279
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: be as long as they are, and movies make movies, alright,

280
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: forty people got naps to take you know, to now

281
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: minutes for what something you think is underrated? I think

282
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: this is like this sounds it's gonna make me sound

283
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: kind of old fashioned because this is something that my mom,

284
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: This advice that my mom would have given to me.

285
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: I feel like it's going someplace by yourself is underrated.

286
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: I think people should get more comfortable going to things

287
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: like comedy shows by themselves and just going to the

288
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: things that you want to go to and not waiting

289
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: for your friends to want to go with you. Oh okay,

290
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: it got you, and think we should we should get

291
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: more comfortable doing that just and and you know, so

292
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: that people people feel like like that's something that they

293
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: can do. I did a show in l A a a

294
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and I met someone after the

295
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: show who came by herself, and even in my head,

296
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you came by yourself, and and

297
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: I caught myself doing it, and I'm like, no, that's

298
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: totally normal. You should be able to go to something

299
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: by yourself because you wanted to go to it, even

300
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: if no one else wanted to go. You should take

301
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: yourself on a date. And and this is also advice

302
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: that my therapist gave me last week. So perfect figured

303
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: I would impart it on other people. Yeah, oh that's

304
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: that's my favorite thing to do. In the shows, Like

305
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: let me tell you what my therapist said last week,

306
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, give you for y'all for free, okay,

307
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: but yeah, that is like I definitely find myself in

308
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: a place where I'm like, Okay, I want to go

309
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: to this thing, who's gonna go with me? And people

310
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: like I can't make it or whatever, I'm not interested,

311
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, well, I guess I'm not going,

312
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: versus just being like, well, then I guess I'm going

313
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: at it alone. And I do that from time to time,

314
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: but I typically like ask first to see if there's

315
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: a coalition of people would need to go first. I'm

316
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: a I'm a going to movie. A movie by myself

317
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite things that are doing the world.

318
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: To the point that I don't really ask people anymore.

319
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: I just go by myself and then like day in

320
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: the theater for the next one. He used to really

321
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: depress me to see people eating by themselves at a

322
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: restaurant for some reason until I did it. Yeah, but

323
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 1: then like I love doing that ship, so I don't know. Yeah,

324
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I really like, I like this underrated because

325
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: I've definitely enjoy like if I'm in a new city

326
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: being by myself, walking by myself in a new place,

327
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: Like it's always fun to share that experience with somebody,

328
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: but there's also something that feels really like an adventure

329
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: when you just you're like, Okay, new city. I'm going

330
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: out with my backpack on, I got my air pose

331
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: and I'm listening to some music. Cruise around and like

332
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: show me what you got. Like that's one of my

333
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: favorite active I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge like three

334
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: times when I was in New York, just on foot

335
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: because like whatever, I got time, I'll do this, Like

336
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: let's just have a good time. And I really really

337
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: enjoyed myself and even had a meal by myself where

338
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: the host was like, uh their matri d was like, oh,

339
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: we don't have any openings for like a table two.

340
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: I was like, it's just me and I could eat

341
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: right here with you. Yeah, there's that bar seat open.

342
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeast the phone and read a little bit good. Yeah.

343
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: And like with with the judgments of I'm talking to you, Danny,

344
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: like with the judgments being like, oh, you can't buy yourself,

345
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: oh no, but like I do that ship but and

346
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: that's my favorite thing in the world to do. So

347
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: I think let's people do it and not be sad

348
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: for them unless they tell you to be sad for them.

349
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: What do you if you eat alone? What do you do?

350
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: What do you do? You sit in silence? Do you

351
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: read your phone? Do you watch something? Or do you

352
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: just try and be like I'm gonna fucking act like

353
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be so present with this meal right now.

354
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: I try to be present as long as I can

355
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: and then look at my phone right like a noorable person,

356
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: right because in my mind, I'm like, people are gonna

357
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: think I'm weird if I'm just eating here with no

358
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: phone out by myself, like they think I'm prepared aaron

359
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: for something weird or something like that. I pretend I'm

360
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: on a very loud, very funny conversation phone call with

361
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: a celebrity, and I just keep name dropping the celebrity

362
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: that I'm talking to, and usually that impresses people. Oh

363
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: my god, Colin Farrell, you are so funny. You are

364
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: too much. What Alright, let's take a quick break. We'll

365
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: come back and talk about some news, and we're back,

366
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, there's a story in the New Yorker couple

367
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: weeks back about like California's looming water disaster basically based.

368
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: It is drought based. Miles maybe it's it's drought based.

369
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: It's all so um so as as the drought happens,

370
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, some of the land, the like the delta,

371
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: the fresh water river banks, and you know land that

372
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: is like wetland is now sinking and so that puts

373
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: it below sea level. And there are levies, levies, eugene

374
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: levies in place to prevent to separate the sea water out.

375
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: But the people who are like experts on this have

376
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: been saying for about a decade now that like it's

377
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: going to take one earthquake too, you know, for those

378
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: two fail and then all of our fresh water supply

379
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: is inundated with saltwater. You can't drink it. You have

380
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: a major disaster. I feel like that. The reason I

381
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about this mostly is because it's just

382
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: a different experience to read a story like this where

383
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: the solution is some form of like that. There was

384
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: a similar story, um, I think it was like fifteen

385
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: ten years ago, called the really big one that I

386
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: made everybody read. That was all about like you know,

387
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: everybody talks about San Andreas being the fault that where

388
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: the big one is going to come from. But there's

389
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: this Cascadia subduction zone up along like northern California, Oregon,

390
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: Washington State that is going to like goes off every

391
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: hundred years and has you know, unleashed some of the

392
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: biggest earthquakes that like the world has ever seen. It

393
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: like sent a tsunami across the Pacific and it reached

394
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: Japan and it was called the ghost tsunami for a

395
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: long time and because they didn't know where it came from,

396
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: but turns out it came from this earthquake all the

397
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: way in northern California, so they like the article is

398
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: all about people have been aware of this for about

399
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: ten years, nobody's really doing anything and that was frustrating

400
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: to read then. But like reading about this looming disaster

401
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: and I still don't think anybody's like done what they

402
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: need to do to prepare for that, the really big one.

403
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: But reading about this one is like an extra layer

404
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: of urgent and scary because there's so many people now

405
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: that don't seem to exist in reality, like they're just

406
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, like you can't talk to yeah, you mean,

407
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: like in terms of the political in place, who need

408
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: to come to some consensus to figure out a problem

409
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: that will that will affect every single person in the state,

410
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: not just you know on a partisan level. Yeah, they're

411
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: they're focused on like stopping Disney from grooming children and

412
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: like overturning the election, and like they sure ash it

413
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: aren't going to compromise with like the you know, the

414
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: people who they think stole the election. It's just it's

415
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: a it's a fucking mess. But like it does just

416
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: it's the article keeps being like each problem makes the

417
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: other problem worse. And they're talking specifically about how like

418
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: the land being dryer makes the land sink, which leads

419
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: to it being below sea level. Like just these like

420
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: kind of cascading things problems that like build into other problems.

421
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: But like it they don't really mention the politics of

422
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: it all. But that's that's another thing. Like Robert Robert

423
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Evans and the cool Zone media folks talk about this

424
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot on there. It could happen here. They call

425
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: it the crumbles, where it's like, you know, small, major

426
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: like horrifying disasters happen and they like build on each

427
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: other because of climate change. But you know, climate change

428
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: is also tied into you know the rise of fascism

429
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: and extremism, and I don't know, it's I just feel

430
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: like we need we need to be acknowledging like all

431
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: the interconnected ways were in danger, you know, and there's

432
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: and there's so many and I mean, like, this is

433
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: something I remember hearing from like friends, like spooky conspiracy

434
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: theorist dad, like when I was in high school, and

435
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, the delta only needs like a

436
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: real specific earthquake and it's gonna mess up the whole state.

437
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, sure, And then as I

438
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: like read more about it, and then like when I

439
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: got into like Larengst in like state politics, and I

440
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: was like asking around and was like, oh right, that, okay,

441
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: this is very possible. I mean, I guess, on one hand,

442
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: it's a you know, significantly blue state, so they're probably

443
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: on a state level probably easy to find some consensus.

444
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: But when you get down to like the individual water

445
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: districts that are involved in California, those everyone's got a

446
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: different agenda there, and I think, yeah, that kind of

447
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: makes it a little bit alarming to when we're also

448
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: talking about how much the agriculture in the state is

449
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: using the water as well. But meanwhile we're like, hey, man,

450
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: don't maybe wash your clothes like every other week or

451
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: something like what do you fucking tell the almond people

452
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: to cut the funk back on using water? Like, you know,

453
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: and I think we have like you're saying, there is

454
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: all these sort of skewed priorities when it comes to

455
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: the water management, and what we think is the way

456
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: out that yeah, we have a very simple thing that

457
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: we need to tackle first. It's so hard to get

458
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: people to care about climate change when it feels like

459
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: it's something that's so intangible. But drinking water is something

460
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: that's so tangible that you would think that it would

461
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: you know, it would be an easier thing to bring

462
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: people together on. But I feel like there were people

463
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: who had that theory a few years ago when it

464
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: looked like specific wines were in danger, Like it was like, oh,

465
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: like Republican ladies care about white wine do and uh,

466
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: you know all of these grapes aren't growing in France

467
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: anymore because of climate change. So clearly this is going

468
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: to be the thing that the people are going to

469
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: come together around and then they're going to see that

470
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: this is a thing. But they're never really seems to

471
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: be that moment where people care about climate change for

472
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: more than five minutes. And I hope that maybe this

473
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: could be a thing that that could at least bring

474
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: some people together, you know, And and I like, I

475
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: I read the article, and I like that it's not

476
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like any of us are questioning

477
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: climate change at this point, and these articles aren't being

478
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: written to prove that climate change exists. It's like that's

479
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: the given and you know, this is the impact, and

480
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: we have to fix this right now. But it's all

481
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: very scary because it I feel like people are on

482
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: such a different wavelength with it, and even for those

483
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: of us who understand that it exists, in what the

484
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 1: impacts could be, I feel like there's so many other

485
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: things to focus on that It's like I think about

486
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: climate change real hard for like a week, and then

487
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: suddenly I'm off to thinking about abortion. You know. It's

488
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: hard to keep my attention to the model in my mind,

489
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: like you're you're reverencing, like maybe this will wake us up,

490
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: and like that had been sort of my hope, like

491
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: for the past, you know, twenty years, was like, well,

492
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's a problem, but as it gets worse,

493
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: Like humanity has a history of like coming together to

494
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: solve big existential threats like this, um not this big

495
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: and existential, but like close enough. And now I'm like

496
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: that's what That's why I wanted to bring in the

497
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: politics because I don't feel like like, if this crisis

498
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: happens and if like suddenly all fred like California's out

499
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: of fresh water, and like you know, the many hundreds

500
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: of thousands or millions of people you know suffer or

501
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: die from that, Like I don't foresee that being a

502
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: thing where everyone who doesn't believe in climate change suddenly

503
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: believes in climate change. I feel like that becomes just

504
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: a like fertile ground for more conspiracy theories like that.

505
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: That feels like where where we are right now. I

506
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: don't think it. I don't think we're doomed to that.

507
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: It just feels like that is the place that we

508
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 1: are right now, with social media being is prevalent and

509
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: unregulated and just companies and capitalism being as unregulated as

510
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: it as it is. So that's yeah, it's a it's

511
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: a scary situation. Yeah, that and I think you know

512
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: the history of our country is we don't solve problems

513
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: until like it's absolutely destroyed a ton of people. First,

514
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: we can will never get out ahead of anything. It's like,

515
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: well wait till millions of people die, and then then

516
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: it's proven that we have to do something about it.

517
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: And I mean the one benefit is, like you do

518
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: see like in states that have been hit like that

519
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: are dealing with climate change, like Republicans are slowly being

520
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: like fuck, yeah, it's I'm old enough to remember. This

521
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: wasn't normal, you know, like in like for example, like

522
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: North Carolina, like like like last year they found like

523
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: some bipartisan consensus on more renewables and things like that,

524
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: because even Republicans came to the table to talk about

525
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: climate change, maybe not in the most authentic way, but

526
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: clearly it was enough that their voter, their their constituents

527
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: are like no, you know, because there was a clip

528
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: last week from the Outer Banks where a house just

529
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: fucking went into the washed into the sea. You know

530
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: that was like almost a four hundred thousand dollar home

531
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: just fucking the sea just ate that ship and just

532
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: said this is mine now. And I think for people

533
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: who see that, they're like, man, I remember when the

534
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: sea level wasn't that high up when I was a kid,

535
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of those things work on people,

536
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: but it's only happening like very specific places where people

537
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: are having to confront that ship head on. And I

538
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: think because of the fact that all of those things

539
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily equally distributed experientially, it's easy for many people

540
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: to stay like, you know, like you know, so many Republicans,

541
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: I think, like less than climate change isn't big deal.

542
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: There's a there. It ends with an interview or like

543
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: sort of mentioned this guy Michael George, whose title is

544
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: Delta water Master. So first of all, people need to

545
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: just be given cool, cool titles like that and maybe

546
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: motivate them to solve this ship. But his background is

547
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: like as a water lawyer, water company CEO, public utility, executive,

548
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: investment banker, college guest lecture like that that was weirdly

549
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: and depressingly the moment of the article. There's also like

550
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: this beautiful long description of how San Francisco Bay when uh,

551
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, white settlers first got there, the water was

552
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: so clear you could see like shoals of fish swimming

553
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the bay, and so many samon

554
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 1: migrated through its waterways that the sound kept people awake

555
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: at night. And then they found Golden invented a water

556
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: cannon for hydraulic mining that could kill a person from

557
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: two d feet away. So but like there there's all

558
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: this beautiful description. But the thing that made me most

559
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: hopeful is that they somehow got a water company ceo

560
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: to like pitch in and like granted, like he might

561
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: still have connections to that and it might be fucked,

562
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: but he is like working on help like that. I

563
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: feel like that is what we need, is to attract

564
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: the sort of people who go into investment banking and

565
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: fucking being water company CEOs into like finding smart ways

566
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: to actually like regulate and control capitalism and like bring

567
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, like steer it in a direction that isn't

568
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: going to fucking end our entire civilization. Hey, use that

569
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: hedge fund brain to find an efficient way to solve

570
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: our water crisis. Yeah, and like, you know, figure out

571
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: how you're gonna balance the relationship between like big agriculture

572
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: and the other you know, stakeholders that are the biggest

573
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: users of water, and maybe they'll be enough for people

574
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: to wash their bodies. Yeah. Maybe, Yeah, as long as

575
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: my golf course looks good. Though, that's what that's mine.

576
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing, Like, yeah, when are we

577
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: just going to start just cutting off the water lines

578
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: over there? We're like, you don't even let us use

579
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: these fucking green spaces. And they get that ship like

580
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: at a at a bargain, they get the water. Yeah, yeah,

581
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: that's that is how we'll take down golf courses. This

582
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: is a boy cutting off their water supply, and like

583
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: we we need to do that ship soon and then

584
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: turn them into the public parks. If we had a

585
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: if every golf course in the city was a public park,

586
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, Los Angeles would be like one of

587
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: the great cities in the world. And instead it's fine.

588
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: Instead it's a it's a brittle, fucking pummice stone with

589
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: nice buildings on it. All right, let's talk about Jesse Waters.

590
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: The Jesse Waters Show Must watch TV if you just

591
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: want to feel your life just led out of you,

592
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: your will to live, just a true piece of ship.

593
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: I remember, like the first time I saw this motherfucker

594
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: on TV. He was like Bill O'Reilly's like intern and

595
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, this motherfucker is going to

596
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: be a problem. Like right away, he just so confident

597
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: and so dumb and so yeah sure of his racist,

598
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: horrifying worldview, but he waited on critical race theory as

599
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: he just wanted to do. Yeah, um, first off, got

600
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: it again for everyone knows this. But the disclaimer that

601
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: critical race theory is not being taught anywhere outside of

602
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: a college lecture hall. So let's put that on the side. Now.

603
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: If you're just mad that teachers are talking about just

604
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: general inequality and you just want to call that this

605
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: other thing, man, fine, you know, to do your thing. Um.

606
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: But in this Jesse Waters clip that was just going

607
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: around on Twitter, it's one of the more like pathetic

608
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: appearances I've seen from like a concerned parent quote unquote

609
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: who's like, I'm here to help you know further, this

610
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: narrative that you want to keep broadcasting on your television,

611
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: which is critical race theory, is ruining my child. And

612
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: in this clip, there's a concerned mother from Virginia of

613
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: a biracial child who she the mother is white, the

614
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: father is black, and she is in a state of

615
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: utter shock because her fourteen year old son is starting

616
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: to form an identity at fourteen. I don't know what's

617
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: going on here. Jesse is it this critical race theory

618
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: stuff or is it puberty? I don't know, but I'm

619
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna say critical race theory. And let's just listen in

620
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: because it's uh yeah, just just hold onto your butts.

621
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: Your your son is uh, the father's black, you're white.

622
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: And he had never mentioned issues with race before. You're saying,

623
00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: what exactly changed? Right? We didn't have issues before. He's

624
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: in eighth grade. They introduced this critical um program, and

625
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: now he's having racial issues not there before. What kind

626
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: of racial issues is he have? Well, he's seen himself

627
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: just as a black man. He's seen things that don't

628
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: go his way as racism um, and he's finding safety

629
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: and numbers. Now, so what you're saying, he gets a

630
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: bad grade at school, he blames racism, or a girl

631
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: rejects him on a date racism. Are those kind of

632
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: things you're seeing? She's smiling. Yes, I asked him to

633
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: clean the house. Racism. Yeah, you're kidding, right, Are you serious? No,

634
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm serious. They have totally changed his perspective. They have

635
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: put him in a box. M hm. So your fourteen

636
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: year old son is talking back, yeah, m hmm. And

637
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: again that that's never happened before. That's weird that a

638
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: teenage the talk back to the to your mom who

639
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: told you to clean your room? I've never done I

640
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: remember when my mother said that. As a half black

641
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: biracial child, I didn't say that. I didn't say it

642
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: was racism. I just said I don't want to do it, mom,

643
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: and I'd run out the house. But we didn't have

644
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: the same vocabulary to use. I guess as these kids do.

645
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: But then also, man, are so he's right when you

646
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: when you just uh when he says that it's racism,

647
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: but not when other parents as their kids, but you

648
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: are racist, piece and give some issues. The program that

649
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: he was participating in was one that was around encouraging

650
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: students to have open discussions around race, race now. And

651
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: this was in the like aftermath of the George Floyd murder.

652
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: So they're like, we want to have you know, brave

653
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: conversations about race. So it wasn't something like kill your

654
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: master's type ship. They were just saying, hey, we want

655
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: these young people. We want to facilitate you know, healthy

656
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: conversations so these young people can begin to have a

657
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: reckoning with our country's culture of discrimination. Pretty easy stuff

658
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: like it's not again not in the extreme that this

659
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: woman is sort of making out to be and naturally

660
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: like everything, we see the backlash of it and time

661
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: and again, and so a couple of things. You know,

662
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: He's this kid is fourteen. So the little baby that

663
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: you were used to like, you know, is absolutely in

664
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: the period of their life where these questions are being asked. Right,

665
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: you begin to explore who you are, what that means

666
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: to you, what's your own identity, is what race means

667
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: to you? You know what she I think she may

668
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: consider her son, I think half white, and she looks

669
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: at it that way, but he is also half black,

670
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: and I'd imagine he isn't completely white passing, so he like,

671
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: even though she may see her son is this, the

672
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: rest of the world does not. That's just that's just

673
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: the facts, And there's no matter. There's no amount of

674
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: proper speaking I could do or polo shirt wearing I

675
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: could do to suddenly look different to somebody who has

676
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: a bigoted perspective on race. That's just unfortunately the stakes

677
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: of how you know it means to be not white

678
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: in this country. So there's just kind of this whole

679
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: thing where I'm like, do you even I'm curious of this.

680
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: Mom clearly is probably very disconnected from the idea that

681
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: what it means to raise a black child in in

682
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: Virginia even and what all of that means just in

683
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: America in general. And that's when I'm like, Jesus, we

684
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: just watched you come out here and use your son

685
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: as like a fucking pond in an optics when for

686
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: bigots like what the fund was that That's where I'm like, really,

687
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: it's disheartening for me to see that about like, Wow,

688
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: you really have no idea what your son is about

689
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: to go through or is going through, right, because you're like,

690
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't she referenced like he was never having racial issues.

691
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: M Yeah, I mean even if your classmates aren't bigoted,

692
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: you know outwardly, there'sn't. The fact of the matter is

693
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: he's existing in a country that is sending a lot

694
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: of signals to him, and he's probably beginning to see

695
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: when you say he's finding comfort in number or something

696
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: like that, what the fund does that mean that he's

697
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: hanging out with other black kids? Is that wrong? Yeah?

698
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: That was weird. And also like the insistence that you

699
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: know a time where people are wrestling with just systemic

700
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: and like murderous, like violent racism in the country, that

701
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: his response to that would be first of all, like

702
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: incorrect for him to like have feelings about that, but

703
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: also that it would be like the school's fault and

704
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: not the fault of like what what is actually happening

705
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: the reality, Like that's it just assumes that there's no

706
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: such thing as racism, So like they must be getting

707
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: this idea from school because that's the only place they

708
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: could have learned. It is a very blinded perspective. Yeah,

709
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: and he's fourteen, so it's not like he's first discovering

710
00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: his identity. Now, this has been a process, and he

711
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: he probably just never felt comfortable speaking with her about

712
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: it because of the environment that she created. Like if

713
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: you think that people start discovering who they are and

714
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: forming an identity at fourteen, that's not the case either.

715
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't I feel like whatever was going on at

716
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: school maybe finally made him comfortable to say something to

717
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: his mom about it. But I also like, I don't

718
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: understand how they always have these parents on roster to

719
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: speak on these shows where I mean, I'm sure they

720
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: find them on Facebook now, but they've always had disgruntled

721
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: parents just ready to go on all of these shows

722
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: about whatever the topic might be. But it's so crazy

723
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: to me. It's typically like these law firms will look

724
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: for aggrieved parents so they can represent them in a lawsuit,

725
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: and that's kind of how they end up to that

726
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: next level where the Fox producers end up saying, oh,

727
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: like okay, like you know, like, hey man, we got

728
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: this mom. She's suing the State of Virginia for critical

729
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: race theory because like her her son who is black

730
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: now realizing he's black. So that's that's pretty that's all

731
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: kinds of funked up, right, that's because I'm sure I'm

732
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure that was sort of like the segue or

733
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: the introduction to this piece is that she's suing, you know,

734
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: on behalf of her son or her her own rights

735
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: as a parent. But yeah, the it's it's really disheartening

736
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: to see a parent like that. Who you she even

737
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: said she's like he sees himself as a black man.

738
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, I'm sorry. What can we can we unpack

739
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: that a little bit? Like from your perspectiveness, what does

740
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: that mean? And what is wrong with it? He is

741
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: he not? And in your mind are you telling him

742
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: he is not. Is that why you're upset because you've

743
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: been conditioning him to deny that he's black and that

744
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: he's living in some post racial like utopia that actually

745
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. I'm that's what I'm really curious about. Like

746
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: it really feels like my son was not black before this.

747
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: And there's also like a patron like they're part it's

748
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: where she's like grinning and laughing, and like, like you said,

749
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: it's a parent who is having a difficult time getting

750
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: their mind around the fact that it's that's not your

751
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: like eight year old child anymore and they are like

752
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: growing up. But like that just that is so fucking toxic.

753
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: And yeah, or I don't know if maybe she's completely

754
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: scared of the idea that, oh my god, that's right,

755
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: my son is black and he's living in America in

756
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: two and subconsciously that's making uncomforta when it's coming out

757
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: this way, I don't know that might be an overly charitable,

758
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, analysis of where she's coming from. But you know,

759
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: it's clear that she was not thinking about this at

760
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: all until her son was, you know, probably articulating things

761
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: where he was like I'm identify I can. I see

762
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: my blackness and I see how people like me or

763
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: treated in this country. It hurts me because that is me.

764
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: I am part of this group of people. And yeah,

765
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: now I'm realizing how much, how much things I may

766
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: be ignored up until fourteen, that now I'm realizing we're

767
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 1: actually pretty fucked up. But you always told me, don't

768
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: worry about it, don't worry about it, don't worry about it.

769
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: But it gets to a point where you actually you

770
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: can't ignore that anymore. And I think you credit to

771
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: him on his journey figuring out who he is and

772
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, the the culture that he's part of. But wow,

773
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 1: what a fucking yeah. Yeah, you already think your parents

774
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: are the worst when you're fourteen, even when they're not,

775
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: But when you do have the worst mom in America,

776
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tough. I'm this poor kid is probably

777
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: getting flame. They're like, yo, is that your mom? On Twitter?

778
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: I saw on that Jesse Waters clip and he's like, bro,

779
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: I told you that's why. Like I'm just, uh, it's

780
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: hard growing up in that house with that mom or whatever.

781
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: But that's I can't I can't imagine that her appearance

782
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: there did any good for him either, you know, like

783
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: the fact is already already already suing the state or

784
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: the school district, so already, Like I remember being in

785
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,479
Speaker 1: school and you knew when somebody's parents was like doing

786
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: some wild ship trying to like cause a problem at

787
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: the school, or they're like, yo, so and so's moms

788
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: so in the school because the seesaw was like to

789
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: wobbly and said, that's why his little sister like heard

790
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: her wrist and everyone's like like people just like that

791
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: ship gets out in the ecosystem of the schoolyard. So

792
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: I can really imagine at this point you're on Fox

793
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: News too, that that's probably not creating more friends for him. No,

794
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: in my school, that was always about sex, said, like

795
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: we always knew the students who weren't allowed to take

796
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: sex said they had to go to like study hall

797
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: or something during and and I grew up with like

798
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: basically abstinence only sex, said anyway. But still, and that

799
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: was because of parents complaining us. But even so, we

800
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: always knew about the parents who were coming up to

801
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: school and yelling about something and it was almost always

802
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: that and uh yeah, it definitely it didn't make it

803
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: easier for those students, which I haven't really thought that

804
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: much about, but they probably were, so they're probably embarrassed

805
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: that they weren't allowed to go to sex And I

806
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: just didn't really think about it. No. I went to

807
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: a Lutheran K through eight school, and I remember in

808
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: sex said, like, there were those kids who like absolutely

809
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: couldn't be there for the outdated slide show from the sixties.

810
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: Were like the like female reproductive system was like triangles

811
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: and circles and lines, like not even close to looking

812
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: medically accurate, like like, we've had this like fucked up

813
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 1: vague version of sex said, were like the parts were named,

814
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 1: but I couldn't. I couldn't accurately tell you what anything

815
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: looked like because it was like and then there's uterus

816
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: and also, guys, it doesn't matter because y'all shouldn't be

817
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: having sex anyway. Yeah, we watched Philadelphia to learn that

818
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: if you have sex, you're getting its God. Yeah, yeah,

819
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: and I had. I ended up writing a show about this,

820
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: and I host the show mostly in New York, but

821
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: now I've done it in l A two called adult

822
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: Sex said. And it's because I had this sex said

823
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: in school. And then My mom was the opposite. She

824
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: was actually a sex said teacher, not mine, but she was,

825
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: and and we had this really open home and so

826
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: I had this totally missed mixed experience. But I feel

827
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: like the way that these parents are being interviewed on

828
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: TV now about critical race theory reminds me a lot

829
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: of in the eighties and nineties, they would have parents

830
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: being interviewed about sex said, and how that's going to

831
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: ruin children's minds. Right, Not that they're not doing that

832
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: today too, but it's like the generational thing. It's like, well,

833
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: back then, they weren't taught about sex, so then when

834
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: it comes up, they're like, oh. But then parents now

835
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: we're like, man, we're fine with sex, Like we're so

836
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: online porn brained like that, that that chat, that being

837
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: chased idea isn't necessarily as pervasive. But now it's a

838
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: generation of people who have never had a reckoning with

839
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: racial relations, and so that's the thing. It's like, well,

840
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: I've never talked about that, and that ship makes me

841
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: so fucking scared, much like how my parents, who never

842
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: talked about sex or how satisfying sex. I thought it

843
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: was the end of the world if we learned about

844
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: sex that it's like, now this is the next cycle,

845
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: which is like, well, we didn't talk about our race.

846
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is good because it makes

847
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: me uncomfortable, but yeah, it's it's wild to hear because

848
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: like I, we were constantly just so just don't have sex.

849
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: I grew up with this idea that like, yeah, if

850
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 1: if you ever had unprotected sex, you're going to get

851
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 1: sick and have a child immediately. Like there's no, there's

852
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 1: no fucking middle ground. And I look through my life,

853
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like scared shitless. The movie

854
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: scene progression is unprotected sex. Woman holds stomach and then

855
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: woman throws up. Then that's those are the three steps

856
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: to prove the okay, there there's a pregnancy happening here, right, Yeah,

857
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: I will I will say I I grew up in

858
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: the wild early nineties, and sex had really radicalized me.

859
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 1: Also really turned me into a freak. Those medical diagrams

860
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: I was onto fallopian tube pics. Those medical diagrams are

861
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: about as sexy as like the diarrhea diagram and pepto commercials,

862
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: Like they're just yeah, they're just like the human body,

863
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: like right, and I feel like that parents should have

864
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: been like like for me, like at the time, a

865
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: bunch of teenagers like kids that they're like most sexually curious,

866
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: or just like they're like even looking at that, like

867
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: this is so confusing to me, and I don't think

868
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: it's doing what you think it's gonna cause some perversion

869
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: in us, or like looking again at drawings from the

870
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: fucking early sixties that you're putting up on a stupid

871
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: slide projector and the and like like the colors are

872
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: like like not even human. It's like the uterus is

873
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: blue and like the ovaries are green, and you're like, man,

874
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: this looks like a bunch of geometric looks like a

875
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: mandreal painting. Let alone anything I can have some like

876
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: functional knowledge of anything. Yeah, Dare worked, though we do.

877
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: We can't say Dare worked. Oh what was it? Because

878
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: you know how they're they're out in the streets again, Dare. Yeah,

879
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: that's right. So I was out. I was out the

880
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: other day and they're like, hey, hey, hey, you want

881
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: to hear about Dare. I was like, actually, I do,

882
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: what's going on? Like why are y'all out here? Because

883
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: it's like I thought the drug ship was a wrap

884
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: like y'all remember y'all lost the drug war and all that,

885
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, I mean it's about that too,

886
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: but it's also a lot about mental health now. And

887
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, interesting, Okay, well I don't know what

888
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: other subversive messaging you might have, but that's that was

889
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: sort of what they're pivoting to. Like, look, we get it,

890
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: we completely lost on the drug front, but now at

891
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 1: least maybe we can be a force for good first

892
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: by the police. I have no idea. At that point,

893
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: I was just like, what's that? What are y'all pivoting

894
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: to it? They said mental health, and I'm like, thank you.

895
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: I have to were they like high school students? Who were?

896
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: They look like they look like normal people who are

897
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: like signature gathering, like you know, like mid twenties, early

898
00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: twenties type people buzz buzz, haircut, chew and gum backwards,

899
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: had on a motorcycle. Alright, let's take a quick break.

900
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. And yeah, so

901
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: I did want to get to, you know, my favorite

902
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 1: American author, because you know, I like I like Shakespeare too,

903
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: but my favorite American words smith is probably Megan McCain

904
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: and the new memoir that she dropped. It's called Bad

905
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: Republican watch Out and it's sold two and forty four

906
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: copies in its first week out. And that you know,

907
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 1: it's probably like people might have realized they could spend

908
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,959
Speaker 1: the same amount of money on literally any other book

909
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: by any other human being. But and like just a

910
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: little looking inside the cover and chapter nine. On and

911
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: off campus, she used a contentious speaking gig at Liberal

912
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: Read College as the canary in the coal mine for

913
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: the looming threat of cancel culture. She came out was like, look,

914
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: this book was released seven months ago exclusively on audible.

915
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: People listened to it. It has strong reviews, four point

916
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: four stars, over a thousand ratings. That's true. Uh, those

917
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: are number that's an app those are numbers that you

918
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: can you know, funds with. And like, if you want

919
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 1: to look at like actual appetite for a book, this

920
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: is a legit book being sold by major retailers like

921
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: Barnes and Noble. It is, you know, it was a

922
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: fairly by like internal metrics successful audio books, so like

923
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: they probably aren't like hiding it away in the back

924
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: of the Barnes and Noble and exactly two and forty

925
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: four people across America. We're we're convinced to buy it.

926
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: So there's also the fact that she posted a photo

927
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: on I think it was Instagram with her holding a

928
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: child and behind John McCain's grave and her book is

929
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: propped up like on his grave. So I mean, like,

930
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: like just a picture is so hard to look at,

931
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: like because it's so it. It's like, you know, like

932
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: when people are like our like our guests on like

933
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: cable new shows, and like they're clearly also wrote a book,

934
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: because it's like somehow the one thing facing outwardly on

935
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: their bookshelf right by like next to their head, and

936
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, we get it. You just wrote a

937
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: fucking book. And there it is like this is like that,

938
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: except you're like desecrating your father's grave site with it,

939
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: with your fucking ego. So we wanted to look back

940
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: at her literary career. Her first work was literally called

941
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: My Dad, John McCain. It was a children's book all

942
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: about the life of John McCain, such as the time

943
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: he bombed villages in Vietnam. I'm sorry that's in the book. Yep,

944
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: he just dropped his bombs on the target. When a

945
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: missile blew the right wing off his plane, the plane

946
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: flew out of control and crashed. Oh my god, I'm

947
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna skip forward a little bit in the writing. He

948
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: didn't get the right kind of medical care for his

949
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: broken bones, and the food was really bad once he

950
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: found a chicken foot in his lunch. Like, chicken feet

951
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: is a food that people eat, They're pretty yummy. This

952
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: bedtime reading, yeah, it looks like the bedtime books that

953
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: like I read to my kids, except like not not

954
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: as many planes plummeting from the sky with flame and

955
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: smoke trailing behind them. I mean, yeah, do you I mean,

956
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: when do you want to introduce your child Jack with

957
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: some bedtime reading where you say the line he didn't

958
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 1: get the right kind of medical care for his broken bones. Huh.

959
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: She's writing it in like a childlike way, that is,

960
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: but also racism. You know, he found a chicken foot

961
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: in his lunch, the food was really yucky. The fact

962
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: that like that was a detail she threw in is like,

963
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I'm pretty sure he was not

964
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: treated great, But the fact that that's what she came

965
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: up with makes it sound like he's just very spoiled

966
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: and a tourist in Vietnam who's like, yuck, what is

967
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: this they eat that? We don't even sell those in

968
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: the store the grocery stores in America. Wow, I thought

969
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: we just grabbed him up and eat him and hot dogs.

970
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: There's like something interesting too write about, Like there's so

971
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: much nepotis, Like nepotism is just like at the heart

972
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: of everything she does, and even John McCain to a

973
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: certain extent, but like with because he was an admiral son,

974
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: like in your the things she was talking about being

975
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: the you know, the Canarian, the coal mine for cancel culture.

976
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: She's talking about how quote after describing how angry students

977
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: accused her of nepotism and mocked her for being ignorant

978
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: about tax policy, she laments the rolls rosy days of

979
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: civil minded debates and that theme like it's actually like

980
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: she touches on her father's nepotism in the even the

981
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: book because after the thing about the chicken foot in

982
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: his lunch, it said, quote, but then my dad got

983
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: a chance most prisoners didn't since he was an admiral

984
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: son the Vietnamese who had captured him said they would

985
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: let him go home. M hmm, Like, I guess you're

986
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: being honest, like, and it's true. Because he was an

987
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: admiral son, he was afforded a something that the other

988
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: prisoners of war weren't because they had his daughter. You

989
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,479
Speaker 1: were reading this book right now, and yes again, my dad,

990
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: John McCain. Her first book was like a six figure

991
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: like bidding War of sixth years. Okay, I just wanted it,

992
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: says the from this article from the time John McCain's

993
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: twenty four year old daughter Megan has a book deal

994
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: exclamation point. They're excited. Sources say Hyperion has prevailed over

995
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: at least three other publishers in an auction that began

996
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,479
Speaker 1: earlier this week, following a round of meetings during which

997
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: the in your face young conservative and the literary agent

998
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: she shares with her father, sterling Lord Literroristic president Flip Brophy,

999
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: discussed a number of possible approaches to the book with

1000
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: editors around top. So Sterling Lord Literroristic is the label

1001
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: or the agency and Flip Brophy, Hell yeah, so in

1002
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: that book, they like, you know, they were like, we

1003
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: gotta give him fucking something. You're so boring, do you

1004
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: have any like crimes you committed, and so she divulged

1005
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: this this one that when I forget which campaign it was,

1006
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: it was one of her dad's presidential campaign's primaries where

1007
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: he was going against Giuliani. She was out in the

1008
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: field stealing campaign signs off people's lawns. Never thought anyone

1009
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: would enforce this, nor did I expect expect we'd get caught.

1010
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: But just as we had pulled over and I had

1011
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: showed a ton, shoved a ton of Romney signs. So

1012
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: it's yeah, Romney signs into our trunk, another car pulled

1013
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: up and blocked us. A super dorky guy in a

1014
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: suit leaped out of his car. He was pissed as hell.

1015
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: See that's that is a sentence that you don't read

1016
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: in most books. He was pissed as hell. What campaign

1017
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: are you with? He yelled Giuliani, we said, He pulled

1018
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: out a notepad proceeded to take down our license number.

1019
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: This is when I started freaking out. McCain daughter arrested

1020
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: was the headline that I saw in my head, getting

1021
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: arrested on the day of the New Hampshire primary. Oh man,

1022
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: I imagine the look on my mom's face. If only

1023
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: we could get away. Um. Then she like yells at

1024
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,959
Speaker 1: the guy to move his car. He was such a jerk,

1025
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: And when he wouldn't move his car, my heart started

1026
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: to raise and I was afraid for a minute that

1027
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: I might do something even worse than stealing a bunch

1028
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: of Romney signs. But anyone who was lame enough to

1029
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: pull over and her ask people on election day for

1030
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: stealing signs was probably lame enough to follow up and

1031
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: bring some New Hampshire State Police. And then she blames

1032
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: it on She like gives a phone number. She gives

1033
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: the guy a fake phone number, which is like her

1034
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: one of her dad's aids, and then is like, Hey,

1035
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: don't be mad at me, but I like sort of

1036
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: gave your phone number to somebody when I was caught

1037
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: stealing yard signs because I'm like so incompetent. Yeah, so good,

1038
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: what a fun time? Yeah? What if I get arrested

1039
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 1: for stealing one signs? Wow? The steaks are so high, Nagan. Yeah,

1040
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I think she like said she found the one, the

1041
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: one campaign like campaign in turn, who also had blonde hair,

1042
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: and was just like that we'll be able to pass

1043
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: it off on her, and like literally says that in

1044
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: the book, first of all, I'm surprised that only one

1045
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: campaign in turnhead blonde hair that sounds Republican primary. Really,

1046
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: oh man, it makes it makes me happy that my

1047
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: dad never did anything spectacular because I I have I think,

1048
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: because I work in film, I I'm surrounded by a

1049
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: lot of nepotism. But I have I have friends who

1050
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: have famous parents, and it affects them in so many ways.

1051
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: And some of them handle it well and some of

1052
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: them don't. And you know, there's it creates this interesting,

1053
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: you know conundrum with some people of like what's the

1054
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, how can you without being given something unfairly,

1055
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,439
Speaker 1: how could you carry on a legacy? Like it's it's

1056
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: something that I'm glad that I never have to think about.

1057
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: H Yeah, yeah, just nameing, just reading books, my dad

1058
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: is this person? Yeah you couldn't. Like that's like such

1059
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: a hardcore distillation of a book about nepotism. We just

1060
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: go my dad is this guy the book? Yeah. Yeah,

1061
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: it's such a like naked psychological profile of like somebody

1062
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: who has never like really done ship gets famous for

1063
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: who their parent is and then is like so insecure

1064
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: about that that when people are like, you don't have

1065
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: any insight into the thing you were here to talk about.

1066
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: She's like, cancel culture, Like no, no, we're like talking.

1067
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: We we just think you were Policy understanding is very lacking.

1068
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: You're trying to cancel me because of because I'm conservative. Yeah. Yeah,

1069
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a tough it's tough road. She was given that

1070
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: first book deal when she was twenty four. Who has

1071
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: anything to say when they're twenty four? Anyway? I mean, like,

1072
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what my twenty four year old book

1073
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: would have been about. The section the one interesting section

1074
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: feels to me like a college essay where you're like, um,

1075
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: what else? What? Well, there was that one time where

1076
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: I faced adversity because I was terrible at doing a thing,

1077
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: and um, it's like a draft that gets that your

1078
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: counselors like no, no, no, no, no no no no.

1079
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: One time, my sense of white privilege almost got me

1080
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: in trouble. So that was kind of hair raising. Um

1081
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: what else? Like this other thing, which I think is

1082
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe the only useful thing that was in that book

1083
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: was her talking about living in sketchy hotels on the road. Quote,

1084
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: for instance, after six months on the road, whenever Shannon

1085
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: and Heather and I checked into a cheap hotel where

1086
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: the campaign was staying. We just assumed that they would

1087
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: be pubic hair on the toilet seat or on the

1088
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: side of the bathtub. We had a technique for dealing

1089
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: with it. We used a blow dryer to blow the

1090
01:03:54,400 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: hairs off if the electrical chord was long enough. Gene God,

1091
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Thank you so much. No one

1092
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: like see you now. Where is that information in your

1093
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: new book? That also is a terrible solution to that,

1094
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Because you're just blowing it elsewhere, blowing him around. You're

1095
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: just blowing it around. You're more likely to get a

1096
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: fucking pubic hair on your lip or something like. No,

1097
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: you just get a handful of toilet paper and pick

1098
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: it up and then throw that move towards the bathtub

1099
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: and run the run the shower and let the water

1100
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: do the job if you're you know, so inclined. But hey,

1101
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: we had a technique for that. I haven't I haven't

1102
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: been following it that closely, but I know that there.

1103
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: I know that Steve Schmidt wrote that really long Twitter

1104
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: thread recently about Megan McCain being kicked off the campaign

1105
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: and and all of that. But yeah, but like this

1106
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: is someone who many people have found to be insufferable

1107
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: for a long time. Yeah, I only follow her literary career.

1108
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't actually follow any other aspect of her. So right,

1109
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: and I think she didn't she call him a pedophile

1110
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: basically like in response, I think she clapped back in

1111
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: a very odd way, and we're like, oh, we're doing

1112
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: that advanced internet only Elon Muskin, Megan mccainner at that level, right,

1113
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, so yeah, I mean Steve Schmidt is

1114
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: another one of those people who's like, remember when I

1115
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 1: was a Republican, But look, I don't like Trump though,

1116
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: so let's forget anything else I may have said prior

1117
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: to that and just say I'm one of the good

1118
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: ones now because I don't like Trump. But then every

1119
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: now and then I will show my big gop butt

1120
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: on TV like it's, uh, you know that I haven't

1121
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: left the party like that. Well, Danny, such a pleasure

1122
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: having you. Where can people find you? Follow you all

1123
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: that good stuff on the socials? I am Danny F. Leonard,

1124
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: which reads Danny Flennard. I know that that's that sounds

1125
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: kind of silly and uh and that's the best way

1126
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: to find me. And hopefully I will have some new

1127
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: comedy shows being announced soon. The show I mentioned earlier,

1128
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: Adult Sex said, is the one that I'm doing the

1129
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: most frequently. And then I have a film that I

1130
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: produced that came out recently called Coast, which is on

1131
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: demand now, so you could find it on iTunes and

1132
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Amazon and and voodoo Google all those places. Yeah, is

1133
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: it about roller coasters? Is it about Oh? Yeah, it

1134
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: makes me wishes about roller coasters. Uh, it was filmed

1135
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: on the central California coast, but it's also a euphemism

1136
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: for kind of coasting through life. And it's a it's

1137
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: a coming of age story that takes place in a

1138
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: mostly immigrant farming community in California. And uh, it's about

1139
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: a sixteen year old girl who whose life is upended

1140
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: when traveling rock band gets stuck in her town and

1141
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: she has to decide if she should stay or if

1142
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: she should go. And uh, it has a really killer

1143
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:00,439
Speaker 1: soundtrack and it's super fun, So it's on my people

1144
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: should definitely check it out. Is there a tweak or

1145
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: some of the work of social media that you've been enjoying.

1146
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm a really big fan of people who made some

1147
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of a pivot during the pandemic and found something

1148
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: else that they're really good at and aren't necessarily doing

1149
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: what they did before. And there's this woman who founded

1150
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: a YouTube channel and where she works out and does

1151
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: workouts for senior citizens. And it's called Yes to Next

1152
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: y E s the number two and next, and it

1153
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: encourages fitness and joy at any age. And so I

1154
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: received an email about this and I went on the

1155
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: YouTube channel and I'm not going to do any of

1156
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: the senior citizen workouts, but I might watch all of

1157
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: them because they're so adorable. So that's my that's my

1172
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: chip on a car. Like some cars know when you're

1173
