1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: We're holding an anti demonstration demonstration on the quad at noon.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: I hope you can make it. It's one more thing.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: I'm strong, and one more thing.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: We're going to have an anti demonstration demonstration and chant

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: no more chanting, no more chanting.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 2: I can get behind this. Yeah.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: That would be pretty funny, wouldn't it.

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: Speaking of the protests, Bill Maher had something to say

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: about it on his HBO show Friday Night.

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: No, you know Passover It celebrates the exodus of the

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: Jews in Biblical times from Egypt, and nowadays it celebrates

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: the exodus of the Jews from Columbia University. Yeah, when

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: did Columbia become Kanye State? The campuses across the country

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: or in kash They kids have put up all these

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 3: tent encampments on the quads and they won't come out

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: of their tents. The authorities don't know what to do.

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: They don't know how to get them out of their fence.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: Now where do their phones die? They'll come out, But

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: ked's little excep. Keep those tents. You're gonna need them

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: when you graduate.

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Wow wow, shot there jokes there.

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: But Bill Maher goes on to agree with a lot

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: of punditory across America. If this is how you deal

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: with it, you tell them you're gonna get kicked out

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: of college if you don't get off the lawn. And

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: then if you don't get off the lawn, after you

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: kicked out of college, you get arrested and you don't

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: go to school here anymore. So that's how that ends.

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Listen, Junior, you spent a great deal of time and governing,

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: your parents and taxpayer's money on getting your worthless degree.

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: What if you didn't get your worthless.

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Degree at all? Okay, because that's what you're playing with.

33
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: But again, as I said on the show many times,

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: it's you've got to stop thinking about colleges and universities

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: and the way we used to you got an educational

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: establishment and students coming eager to learn and get a degree.

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Now it's it's just it's a huge amount of money

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: for a worthless degree, and the purveyors of worthless degrees

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: are not going to mess with their customer base by

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: asking them to do anything. It's just not what it's

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: about anymore.

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: Bill Maher's a Jew, you know, I do know that.

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: Actually he's half Jewish, half Catholic.

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: It's right. I think I've heard him talk about that.

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: He's an atheist himself.

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, and really really hates religion.

47
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: So when I was a youngster on the campus of

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: the University of Illinois at or Bana Champaign, there was

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: a big divest from South Africa movement, and there is

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: at one point, I think, some tents on the quater somewhere,

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: and I was aware of it, and I think I

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: sniffed around to figure out what they're they're protesting about,

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: or why they're sleeping in their tents, and I remember

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: a distinct feeling of that's interesting. But I got to

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: go to class. Yeah, I want to see my girl friend.

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: I just good for you. But I don't know whether

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I was like shallow and apathetic or wise beyond my years.

58
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: But I thought, I'm not gonna spend my time doing that.

59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: I have things that do.

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a full time job all through college.

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: For the idea of it would have been complete nonsense.

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: But the just the even with free time, the I'm

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: gonna get involved in how the college spends its money

64
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: just seems weird to.

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: Me, right, And it's not like I was pro apartheid

66
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: or or Earth or wanted Nelson Mandela to stay in

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: jail or anything like that. I just didn't think. I

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: thought I don't have a role in this. I wouldn't

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: be doing any good, so I didn't. And again, does

70
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: that make me shallow and apathetic or wise beyond my

71
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: years or both? I don't know.

72
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't know either.

73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: I just I'm reminded of the city councils passing resolutions

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: condemning something happening sixty five hundred mile or eight thousand

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: miles away. You're a freaking city council fixed the potholes.

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: This is not your job. It's so obvious you're doing

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: this to elevate your own self worth or your own

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: self importance, or to appear impressive. Everybody knows it. Stop it.

79
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

80
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: Some of the college kids are hilariously uninterested in why

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: they're there to protest, though I saw more of those

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: over the weekend. I guess it's just, you know, they're

83
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: just there to be there. Yeah, nothing draws a crowd

84
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: like a crowd, and especially for the guys. That's where

85
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: the hot chicks are. Okay, well, I'm going I don't

86
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: care what it's for.

87
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: And honestly, I thought that piece that I shared part

88
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: of that mentioned the COVID, the COVID lockdowns, and how

89
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: lonely these kids are and how desperate they are for

90
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: some sort of communal experience. I think that that's probably

91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: that's not the main fuel for the fire, but that's

92
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: a factor.

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: That's a hard thing to internalize that you missed out

94
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: on several years of that very important part of your

95
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: life of being involved in anything that's been very strange.

96
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: I didn't live through that.

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only demonstrations I were call attending regularly were

98
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: the annual hash Wednesday on the on the Quad, in

99
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: which we peacefully advocated for the legalization of marijuana by

100
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: getting stoned. I would go to again, entirely peaceful.

101
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 2: I gathered four quarter Fridays at the Golden Queue regularly.

102
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 1: To protest beer company price gouging, to protest beer costing

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: more than twenty five cents uh. And because it was

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: really an anti sobriety protest.

105
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: Because I was the morning guy at the radio station,

106
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: I got off early, so I would go and I

107
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: would get there around noon and I would get a

108
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: booth so that everybody else jeez. So I was there

109
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: for what four hours before everybody else got there. Good lord,

110
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: I would get a booth there at quarter Friday because

111
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: it got pretty crowded given the fact that beer's were

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: a quarter. I mean, and that's I didn't realize I'm

113
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: old in inflation, but that's cheap even then. I mean,

114
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: that was dirt. That was like free even then. Man

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: that got placed got rowdy. It was a draft beer,

116
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: so you know, it's in a plastic cup, but it's

117
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: still twenty five cents of beer. Good lord, you're stealing

118
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: it at that point. Oh yeah, yeah. How do you

119
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: make any money off of that? I guess I don't

120
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: even know how you come out ahead? Why did they

121
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: even have you there? Did they make enough money off

122
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: the pool tables or maybe buying burgers? Maybe enough people

123
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: bought burgers when they got hungry.

124
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that had to be it. So I'm guessing that

125
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: was like nineteen eighty five something like that.

126
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: Ish.

127
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll say nineteen eighty five.

128
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: So he's gonna do the inflation and what it would

129
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: be now.

130
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty five, the good old days.

131
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: Long before you were born.

132
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: A quarter beer in nineteen eighty five would be a

133
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: seventy three cent beer. Yeah, my day's money.

134
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: So even in today's money, and it's pretty cheap.

135
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go ahead and round up to seventy five

136
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 1: cents and get our drink.

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 2: Call. Oh my god, people be laying on the floor

138
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: that you had to step over and nobody even thought

139
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: about it, Just like you got to step over that

140
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: girl on the way to the bathroom and step over

141
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: again on my back. Oh my gosh, she's taking a nap.

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: She's tired.

143
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: Yes, But the difference, or the key point is, Katie,

144
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: we had to go to class and learn stuff and

145
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: prove we knew it on tests and actually studied a lot.

146
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: So that's changed.

147
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: People slumped over with vomita on their shirts.

148
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: Good times, and now you learn nothing in chant in

149
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: favor of terrorists. The college experience has definitely changed.

150
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, guess that's it.
