00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of My

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: trends are small I know, but they're not yours. They

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: are a z I owned. But they're not yours, they

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: are z I owned. Uh t M. That's right. I

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: we own these fucking trends. Don't even try and talk

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: about them yourself, because they are as I owned. Uh.

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: That short show title is courtesy of super producer Brian

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Jefferies huge jewel fan. I did not know this was

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: just saying before we started recording, but UH can't defend

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: everything she does and says. Enough, just a big fan.

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Now that's a joke. Apparently jewels and some hot water

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: just not shocking anyways. I am Jack and I'm thrilled

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: to be joined by super producer Becca Ramas. What's up?

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Happy Friday. It is fifty degrees here in New York City.

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Go take a walk or I hope that by the

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: time this comes out you have taken a walk outside

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: while it was still sunny. It is so gorgeous. Please

18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 1: get some vitamin D, bring back your or get away

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: from your seasonal depression like me. Yeah, I'm just some

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: so stoked, so warm work on a day when it's

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: warm and not supposed to be warm. Is the best

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: New York because it's the garbage hasn't had a chance

23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: to start cooking yet, so it's still smells good. Um,

24
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, because I love smelling the garbage, you know,

25
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: testing it out right, Yeah, just give it ah, that

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: has a nice oakey you're in finish. The worst is

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: I mean the worst is garbage in the summer. That's

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: obviously objectively the worst, but it does always gross me

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: out when the dog owners take their dogs to pee

30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: in the snow and you just see like yellow everywhere

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: all the time you're walking and it's just like patches

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: of yellow peeing your own home dog owners. New York

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: is a lot of people all living on top of

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: each other, which is what makes it great and also

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: what makes it stinky every once in a while. But

36
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I do love New York. I think it's the best

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: city in America. I don't know about the world because

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I haven't been to enough places. But Brooklyn's really uh

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: a great place in I've been to it for three

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: days in the past five years, But I do I

41
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: do love that place. And l A not too bad either,

42
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: but we give l A a a lot of love out here.

43
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: It's I think, going to be like in the nineties

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: this weekend. It's supposed to be the hottest super Bowls

45
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: of all time. I mean, that's alarming when it's like

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: February anywhere in this country. But yeah, because at least

47
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: it's like still cold in New York. It's just not

48
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: eight dearees. But I mean as recently a few days ago,

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: it was cold here too, it was like in the

50
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: sixties in the morning. So yeah, let's start with the

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, which has come to l A. And it's

52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: not really a thing that I have noticed other than

53
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: when we were down on Radio Row bringing the NFL

54
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: America's number one NFL podcast. Yeah, it's because la is

55
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: a big city. I guess you see the occasional blimp,

56
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: but otherwise that's that's the only way that I've noticed it.

57
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: Um the rams, so uh, we're I was like, is

58
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: there anything we haven't talked about with the Super Bowl?

59
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: And Becca, you and fellow super producer Brian were like,

60
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you've talked about who's playing actually playing,

61
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: so we've talked about Yeah, but apparently crypto ads are

62
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: going to dominate, so look out for that. I mean,

63
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: is it the Staples Center like being renamed to like

64
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: crypto dot com or whatever has been aimed to crypto

65
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: dot com. And in fact, when I was walking up

66
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: to Radio Row talking to another producer who is on site,

67
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: we were trying to figure out where we were coming,

68
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, so we're like walking up

69
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: to Staples on twelfth and he was like, Okay, I

70
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: don't know where Staples is, but I'm outside of crypto

71
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: And I was like, damn, just change. How do you

72
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: not want? Doug? Uh? That super producer Doug was just

73
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: is so all about the moment that he can't even

74
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: remember that it was Staples Center for two decades. Uh,

75
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: fairly recently, but yeah, crypto ads are going to dominate. Uh.

76
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I will like I watched that

77
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: two and a half hour video explaining why crypto is

78
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: just another capitalist market for the wealthy to get wealth

79
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: here and the occasional lucky person to strike on like

80
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: a get in on the ground floor every once in

81
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: a while. But I'm still not really selling anything as

82
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: far as I can tell, Like, I don't understand the

83
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: value proposition and I don't know crypto bros. I know

84
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: y'all love explaining ship. If there is a single video

85
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: that you can just be like here, this is the

86
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: one where it explains why you're wrong about Crypto. Hit me.

87
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm more than willing to watch not two and a

88
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: half hours. You guys have fifteen minutes to make your case,

89
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: then that's generous because I would watch maybe a tiktoka.

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: That is the amount of patients I personally have for Crypto.

91
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: Please do not come at me. I don't want your

92
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: articles or videos. I have enough men in my life

93
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: that are trying to teach me and I am declining

94
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: left and right. So yeah, accepted. It's not But it

95
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: is the Cincinnati Bengals versus l A. Rams. This is

96
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: the Super bowls have it in l A that was

97
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: chosen as a neutral site years ago, just as last

98
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: year Tampa Bay was chosen as a neutral site for

99
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made it

100
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl last year and won it on

101
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: their home field. The l A Rams again had just

102
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: a coincidence two years in a row that one of

103
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: the teams will be playing on their home field. Unfortunately,

104
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: l A has not fully bought into the fact that

105
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: they have an NFL team, They're just like, oh, yeah, no,

106
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: good for you guys. Oh that's great. Where whereas Bengals fans,

107
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: this is this is massive for you know, people who

108
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: are lifelong Bengals fans. So it does feel like it

109
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: will be more like a home game for the Bengals

110
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: than it will the Rams, which sucks for the Rams.

111
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: They complain about it every time. They're like, we have

112
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: to go to the Silent count on our home field

113
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: because if we're playing a team that has a lot

114
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: of you know, rabid fans who are willing to travel. Um.

115
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: So anyways, I don't care who wins. I will be watching.

116
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Will you be eating a good dip? I will be

117
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: probably not, because I'm kind of in charge of I

118
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: think we're like we usually just ordered Dominoes and then

119
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll get some wings. But Dominoes is like I

120
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: I do feel like I need to order Dominoes if

121
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing anything food related for the Super Bowl, and

122
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: that is the right choice. I mean, never can go

123
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: wrong with dominoes. You know what. I think I'm going

124
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: to try a dip this this year because the one

125
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: time I got ambitious and decided I'm going to make

126
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: my own buffalo sauce, my own buffalo wings. I badly

127
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: fucked up the buffalo wings, and this year a dip

128
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: might be more my speed. A dip where you just

129
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: like combine four different cream of campbell soup into like

130
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: some savory concoction and then put cheese over over the top,

131
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: or pour rouse over the top of some goat cheese,

132
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: as Daniel l and Kirk suggested on a recent episode

133
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: of this show, I'm going to try something like that.

134
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: How about you, Becca, What are you going to do?

135
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: You know, I was going to make it um because

136
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: me and luckily my partner famously does not also like football,

137
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: so we were going to have our Valentine's date night.

138
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: But we've been invited to a super Bowl party. So

139
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: I may show up in my extra self and my

140
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: nice date night outfit with my heels on and go

141
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl party like that and there's nothing

142
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: to me as I come. So yeah, we'll see. And

143
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: you were saying that, like this is Oscar night for

144
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: the advertising industry, and they get that's that's cool. I

145
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: mean that that's kind of the thing that I like

146
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: the best about the Super Bowl is usually the ads. UM.

147
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Not not a hugely original observation there, but advertising they

148
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: would used to h showcase like all the ads like

149
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: that Monday after work, like they would like have it

150
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: on a TV screen and like have like the I

151
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: don't know if it was like a rerun of the

152
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: super Bowl or if it's just like a syndication of

153
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: all the ads put together that released during the Super Bowl,

154
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: just like on all the TV. So you can just

155
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: appreciate all of the work that the industry put out

156
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: there that day and give a big congratulations to all

157
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: your friends. And they're different creative projects, being like we've

158
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: been working on this all year and we got to

159
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: work with so right, So my friends, I know I

160
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: probably have plenty of friends who are working on stuff.

161
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: So sorry guys. All right, um, shout out to the

162
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: advertising industry. Um, all right. New York City is lifting

163
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: its mask and vaccine mandate despite those of the CDCs.

164
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: Like we're not there yet, but okay, you guys seem

165
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: guys seem to be said on what you want to do.

166
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: So I guess case numbers are dropping across like the country,

167
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: but you know, I still don't feel like period enough

168
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: people are vaccinated. So to lift both the mask and

169
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: the VACS mandate to me is as a New Yorker,

170
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: pretty frustrating. And it's basically up to the business individually

171
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: if they want to continue to have a mask or

172
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: VACS mandate. And then um, there is still required at

173
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: like hospitals and state regulated health care facilities, which I'm like,

174
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: if you recognize its important in the healthcare, then why

175
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: is it not important everywhere? I digress. Uh, And then

176
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,479
Speaker 1: it's also still required in schools, but is being reassessed

177
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: in March, where I anticipate they're going to be lifting it,

178
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: which is super frustrating. I think for teachers who we

179
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: are not out of cold and flu season, I think

180
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be really tough on them, especially after spring

181
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: break when kids are pretty rowdy. So yeah, just stay

182
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: safe out there. You know, I personally will be um

183
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: masked up and a vaccinated, so you know, I feel good,

184
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: But I just worry about many of the people who

185
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: are a part of vulnerable communities that just you know,

186
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: they still need these mandates. It would be one thing

187
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: if you could just be like, all right, I'm gonna

188
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: wear a mask. Nobody's gonna say ship, like it'll just

189
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: be personal preference. But this seems to like this new movement,

190
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Like first of all, we've known from the start, like

191
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: this is how this thing works. Like the scientific description

192
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: of how this was going to go was the hammer

193
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: and the dance, right, Like sometimes there was gonna be

194
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: a lockdown when things got bad, I'll get vaccinated, have

195
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: to like be masked or you know, even have to

196
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: stay inside. And then as the numbers went down, we

197
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: would like come out and be like be able to

198
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: drop some of these I'm seeing a lot of anti

199
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,119
Speaker 1: maskers be like finally people realize the truth. The vaccine

200
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: is bullshit and it was our right to not be

201
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: vaccine vaccinated, and like masks or face diapers, like that's

202
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: ms to be like not not just those people now

203
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: declaring victory, but I'm starting to see like Bill Simmons,

204
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: for instance, one of the more the Joe Rogan of

205
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: the sports world was but like usually not that problematic,

206
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: was on his show yesterday it was like, yeah, follow

207
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: the science, good luck with that, and it was like

208
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: what and I know where he got that opinion. He's

209
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: not like the most intellectually original person in the world,

210
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: and like I know a person who he follows who

211
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: was like saying the same ship, um, who is like

212
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: a crypto millionaire gambler guy, and it's this doesn't mean

213
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: that the science was wrong. This means that this is

214
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: the stage of dealing with a pandemic. And it seems

215
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: like maybe they're being a little aggressive because America is

216
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: full of so many babies that just don't want to

217
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: do it. It feels like they might be taking the

218
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: masks off and turning on the vaccine a little early,

219
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: but you know, remains to be seen. It just frustrates

220
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: me more that when tours come, they won't have these regulations. Right,

221
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: that's my fear they're taking this down here in February,

222
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: March is coming up, spring Break is coming up. People

223
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: are going to travel. Not that like New York is

224
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: the number one spring break destination, but it is it.

225
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: You know, it has a big tourism population period. So

226
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: that is more my word than it is New Yorkers

227
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: that it is. You know, the people coming in that

228
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: are like, oh my god, New York is no longer

229
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: being super strict, Like I don't have to feel like

230
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: some type of way coming to New York. Now, I

231
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: want to go do my fun tour stuff. But I'm

232
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: not vaccinated, so we'll see. But yeah, the thing that

233
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: is awful is your your example of school is a

234
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: really good one. It's the kids may be okay because

235
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: this disease appears to not affect them as much as

236
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: older people, but they are very germy and great, very

237
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: much spreading it to teachers and that sucks. Um. Alright,

238
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk

239
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: about love is Blind. And we're back and I think

240
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: Russia's about to invade Ukraine or something. I think we're

241
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: maybe at war by the time you cheer this, and

242
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: that's not good. But what is good is the No. Yeah,

243
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel like I am the person

244
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: to break down the situation, uh in Ukraine. Personally, I agree,

245
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm not. I am also not the person to break

246
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: down this situation. But yeah, I I've heard memorings about,

247
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, things going on with Russia for a while.

248
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't feel super equipped to talk about it in depth,

249
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: but you know, it is scary and it's kind of

250
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: all I want to say is that we are heading

251
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: into World War three probably, and uh, you know, I'm

252
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: not looking to it. Uh, Miles will be back soon

253
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: as much smarter than me, and I will ask him

254
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: what he thinks about it. Um So, I Love is Blind.

255
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk. Love is Blind. This is a reality show

256
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: I had mostly forgot about, but I did like once

257
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: we started talking about it, I was like, oh yeah,

258
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: I watched like the first half of this season, and

259
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: I did get invested in the show. I remember being like,

260
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: it's tough because the men are so bland and then

261
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: they were so below average, right, um so, this is

262
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: the show where you meet the person as a silhouette

263
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: in in a weird booth where you just like kind

264
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: of talk talk to one another, and then you fall

265
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: in love with them without having seen them, and then

266
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: you get to see one another and we see how

267
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: the couples work out and it I don't know that.

268
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: There were definitely some characters that were memorable. There was,

269
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: for instance, one woman who the moment she saw the

270
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: guy she had picked, she was like, oh I chose

271
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: I chose wrong villain, but redeemed herself in the reunion.

272
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: I think because the guy who she picked had then

273
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: like treated her badly right like he was then turned

274
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: into a villain. Kind of. Yeah, basically he got pregnant

275
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: with somebody I think either while they had tried again

276
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: or just like immediately after the show, Like definitely just

277
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: there was like some schemy behavior of him kind of

278
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: potentially dating multiple people at once and then getting you know,

279
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: somebody pregnant and then choosing them and having a family

280
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: with them, and you know, congrats, glad that they're happy

281
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: and that they have a healthy child. But was some

282
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: messy dating. Um. I love the show and it came

283
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: out February. It was right pre pandemic. It was a

284
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: perfect messy time. Um. I'm very excited for this season two.

285
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: I have no idea who the cast is, but I

286
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: loved the premise that it was just such a bizarre

287
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: like yeah, we're gonna do this experiment, and not just

288
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: like in a reality TV way, um experiment, but like

289
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: they truly did this like two years ago. I don't

290
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: know if that's the case for this season two, but

291
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: like when season one came out, in all of this

292
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: have been filmed in and the goal was at by

293
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: the reunion, these people have been together for like two years,

294
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: so they could actually test the experiment out if like

295
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: dating somebody without ever seeing what they looked like and

296
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: having to get to know them and you know, build

297
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: off their personality. Would it work? But of course in

298
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: the reality dating bubble, all of that dating happens in

299
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: like three weeks and they get married in six weeks,

300
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: and then after two years, you know the I remember,

301
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: this seems um like a different universe. But this wasn't

302
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: this like one of Netflix's first reality shows, and so

303
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: it felt like, oh, but the way Netflix, because their prestige,

304
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: they did this like different than reality TV. They like

305
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: waited two years and stuff, which I I feel like

306
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: since then, we're no longer under any impression that Netflix

307
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: is like prestige TV. Right, No, especially not prestige reality TV.

308
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Like it definitely feels you know, I mean it looks crisper,

309
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: I guess in like The Bachelor, but it is in

310
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: the same like raunchy, stupid, vain, and I feel like

311
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: they've built their own little like Netflix cinematic reality TV

312
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: universe where like a lot of the reality TV shows overlap,

313
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: like the Too Hot to Handle came out similar timeline

314
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: as Love is Blind, and a lot of that cast

315
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: has overlapped with this cast. How did they overlap? Which

316
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: like one of the girls. Um, Oh my goodness, what

317
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: is her name? She was very controversial on UM too

318
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: Hot to Handle. She then became very controversial to the

319
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: cast of Up Is Blind because she got in the

320
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: way of Janina and Damien's relationship. Francesca. Janina and Damien

321
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: were the couple that I was most like, Oh, she's

322
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: very pretty and an interesting person, and I'm why with

323
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: this guy, like like bland it was, it was it

324
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: just seemed it's such an ego. I'm like, you look

325
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: like that and you have that big of an ego,

326
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: like to take a step back, take a step back.

327
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: But he started being like associated with Francesca from the Handle,

328
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: who was like her own very like I don't know,

329
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: she was like one of the stars I feel like

330
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: at that show, like one of the number one people

331
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: that were like, oh my god, is she problematic or

332
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: do we love her? Um? And then it became this

333
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: whole storyline between them, like this like love triangle that

334
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: like Janina like Damian walked out of her on the

335
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: wedding day, but then they were still trying two years

336
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: later to date and it's like, girl, get out of there.

337
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: He is not worth the trouble, and then he started

338
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: being seen with Francesca and it was like then she

339
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: popped with the reunion, and you're like, what is this crossover?

340
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: Why is she here? Um? And then one of the

341
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: other popular people too hot to Handle was in the circle.

342
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: So like they're also building this world where they can

343
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: recycle like their favorite reality TV stars that they've built

344
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: and put any other you know, it's smart, it's interesting.

345
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: They figured it out pretty quickly. It sounds like, a

346
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: are Damian and Janina like together? Yeah, I don't think so,

347
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: because she kind of like after the reunion, the reunion

348
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: got dropped in the summer, like this past summer, and

349
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: then she started going viral on TikTok, probably because she

350
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: was like the definition of like it girl TikTok, like

351
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: very like aspirational, like get ready with me, beautiful, you know,

352
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: living her best life. And it was very much like

353
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: alluded that they had broken up. Um It says on

354
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: this u Sweekly article that Entertainment Television. Um says that

355
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: they officially split earlier the year. It's a lot of process, uh,

356
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: and it was a very long breakup. I've never been

357
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: one to just not peel off the band aids, So

358
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: this was new. It was just that trust wasn't really

359
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: there anymore. Um and probably many things. I'm like, he

360
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: is not like never like was any of his drama.

361
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: Like he was not hot enough, he was not interesting enough,

362
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: he was not like anything enough to be worth all

363
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: the drama he put her through. I was like, oh no.

364
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: And then there was the like hot Jack who played

365
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: the acoustic guitar, Barnett, right, and they had Barnett and Amber.

366
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: They were like probably the problematic fave of most people

367
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: because she was like so crazy and he was so

368
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: like U and everyone loved him because he was like

369
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: a very mediocre, like handsome white dude, like just like

370
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: you could find him anywhere. But they made great reality

371
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: TV because they were like the perfect reality TV couple

372
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: and that's who the woman who didn't like her pairing,

373
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: that's who she was media like, but like Barnett. On

374
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: the other hand, Jessica was like Barnet Barnet, and that's

375
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: why her and Amber were like beef and even at

376
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: the reality like at the reunion where Jessica got her redemption,

377
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: because people were like very anti Jessica because all that

378
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: in the season. But by the reunion, people were like,

379
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: you know what, she like left the show. She went

380
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: and moved on. She lived her best life. She got

381
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: a boyfriend, I think, and people were like happy for

382
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: They're like, you know what, we villainized her and we

383
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't have. And then Amber came in there being like

384
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: uh and it's like, girl, you married him and you've

385
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: been married him for like two years, Like she has

386
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: a boy and now like she is not worried about

387
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: you let it go. Yeah, but I think everyone's favorite couple,

388
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: like the couple from the show Lauren and Cam. They

389
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: are still together. He was the only hot man on

390
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: the show. There were no other ones, and um, they

391
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: were like family planning. I think they were like they

392
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: were doing the damn thing and they were trying to

393
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: get pregnant last time we checked in on them. So

394
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: and they three years of marriage November and they were cool, like, yeah,

395
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: they were the only one that it was. He was

396
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: like a unique person, like he seemed like a person

397
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:41,600
