But first, Craig, 54 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: we like to ask our guests, what is something from 55 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, 56 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: just this morning I searched why do ant spite? Yeah? 57 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 1: Why do ants spite? We have kind of an ant 58 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: infestation at my house. Like if you leave out a 59 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: scrap of food like ten minutes, it's over. Yeah, It's 60 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: just just a dark line that's yes. Yeah. And then 61 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: frequently throughout the day, like I'll feel like a little 62 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: nip on my hand or my wrist or sometimes in 63 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: my car. I mean like I've tracked the ants in 64 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: with me. They're following me around, and uh you know 65 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: it's like a brief, painful bite. Uh. Now this is 66 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: on Cura, so this is crowdsource. So this is not 67 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: probably a legitimate answer. But ants to night bite humans 68 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: so as to attack them. Ants by humans only for 69 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: their defense and then in all caps, ants feel threatened 70 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: very quickly. Of course. How dare you drive to work 71 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: with an ant upon your wrist? Yeah? So little black 72 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: ants bite. Yeah, I didn't know that. I was when 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: you said that, I was like, yeah, those damn fire ants. 74 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: But I've had a ant bite. Yeah I felt that. 75 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: But they don't like leave a mark. No, Yah, you 76 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: just just send a little that they hit you a 77 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, it's brief and then they immediately die. Yeah, 78 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: snack it and they're dead. Learn your lesson. Yeah, I'm 79 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: wondering if there's an ant somewhere googling, why do humans 80 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: smash us to smithereens? Or he's like a I remember 81 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: back when we had him really bad at my house. 82 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: Growing up, my parents always put like huge salt barriers 83 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: like ost the doorways because it will dry out there 84 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: like exoskeleton. I would assume your house was haunted if 85 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I walked in, yeah, and just saw welcome We've been 86 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: expecting you cannot pass exactly. What is something you think 87 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: is overrated? I'm gonna say, backing into a parking spot, okay, 88 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: unless you're a getaway driver for the barrel game. You 89 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: don't need to back into a Some people to do 90 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: that to do it, and it's always the douche car 91 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: or a gigantic pickup truck. I guess what, what is 92 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: it just easier to get out? I don't know. I mean, 93 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: I I see in certain like in Japan, you typically 94 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: have to back up back into every space no matter 95 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: where you park. It's really really yeah, I don't know, 96 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: Like I'm sure there is some logic to it that 97 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: I've just not actually discovered. But I'm always like damn, 98 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: because I would always remember my uncle just finessing cars 99 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: so easy. I'm like, damn, that's a flex. Well, I 100 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: think sometimes it's just a flex. It's a way to 101 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: like show off how good you are without especially without 102 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: a backup camera because in the pre backup camera days, 103 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was like a god level way of 104 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: entering a park express. So I mean the thing that 105 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: it as it makes it easier to get out right, 106 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: And I guess it's probably safer to back into a 107 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: parking spot than to back out, because you know what's 108 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: back there when you're backing into a spot. But the 109 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: only times I've ever attempted is when I was like 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: really feeling good about my ability to drive a car 111 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: backwards a k drunk. Uh. I do not have a 112 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: backup cam yet, so all my cars are pre Yeah, 113 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: so they say, oh, you know what, it's it's just 114 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: safer to actually back into a and you're using you're 115 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: using you're making use of the uh, the axle, like 116 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: the pivot point of the car, so it's easier to 117 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: back in. And like what if you're not backing out, 118 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: you're not running into someone as you back out, you're 119 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: not hitting another car as you back out, you're facing 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: where you're going if you're back into the space right, 121 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: But there could be somebody who's just walked into that 122 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: space or something like yeah, look man, look I'm still 123 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: gonna go head in, you know what I mean. It's 124 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: also good. You can't say it's not that cool for 125 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: the people who are behind you because it takes longer 126 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: for you to get into your parking spot unless you're 127 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: you're you're you're equipped with the skills, right, That's true. 128 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: That's the main thing I think is douche is the 129 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: amount of time and space you take up in order 130 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: to do it. It's funny that you mentioned that I 131 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: backed into a parking space yesterday for the first time 132 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: at a grocery store. Yeah. I don't know what it. 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: I think it was just one of those timing things 134 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: where someone was passing me by and I didn't want 135 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: to turn in to cut them off, so I kind 136 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: of went past this spot and I was like, you 137 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: know what, yeah, a little yeah, yeah, I definitely I 138 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: came in a little crooked, had to come out straight 139 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: and then ease it in for the full on, you know, 140 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: docking position. But it was odd. It was very much 141 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: I can like. I was like, this is the first 142 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: time I backed into this parking space in years. I'm 143 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: gonna change it to my underrated no no, And I 144 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: thought that these kids are like at this douche bag, 145 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: and then I just left. I'm not surprised there's a 146 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: scientific support for that move online. I feel like it's 147 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: a thing that people on the internet would love to 148 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: talk about it is. Yeah, like they all point to 149 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: it's safer, right, right, So the Internet is not disappointing 150 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: on this topic for sure. Yeah, what is something you 151 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: think is underrated? I'm sorry, just one. I think Triple A. 152 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: The official word from Triple A is that drivers should 153 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: reverse into parking spaces whenever possible, except where prohibited by 154 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: law might trip. I am a Triple A member. OBI 155 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: shout out to them for just being able to hook 156 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: your friend up who doesn't have Triple A right and 157 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, that's my car, and they're like, yeah, sure, 158 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: jump it. You're gonna trust them? Yeah? Well no, I 159 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: just I like Triple A. You know, yeah they don't. 160 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: They don't bust your balls, I know, but they get 161 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: business when your car gets a little dinged up, right, So, 162 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, who who knows where they're coming. They get 163 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: a little cut to conspiracy, a little piece of big 164 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: Triple I just like to feel wanted big reverse parking. 165 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. No, I'm sure it's better. It's just just 166 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: how I do it. So what is something you think 167 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: is underrated.

What's something people think it's true you 219 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: know to be false. All right, I'm gonna throw this 220 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: out there and you know it. I will admit that 221 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: it is slightly gross, but I don't think it's the 222 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: worst thing, which is to find hair in your food 223 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: at a restaurant. You think it depends on it's not. 224 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: It's you can't get sick from it. You know of 225 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: all that we're mammals. You know we're shedding hair all 226 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: the time. As somebody who's weighted tables, I know that 227 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: Usually when people find hair in their food, it's their 228 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: own hair rather than something from the kitchen, you know. 229 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about like you know, six inch 230 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: pube and right right in your hashbrowns just curl little hair. 231 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: But the way the people curliness is not good. Curliness isn't. 232 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: Oh that's very anti curled hair. Yeah, straight hair privilege. Yeah, 233 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: and phus look like weird wire. That's what I think. 234 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: It's not. I'm not talking about curly head hair. I'm 235 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: talking about like sick, wiry curly yeah, because yeah, that's 236 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: that's a problem. But the idea that hair in your 237 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: food is like cause for indignation and you know, to 238 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: get your entire check cleared or whatever you like. If 239 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: you really grossed out by the kitchen will make it 240 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: again you out, but you don't need to raise a 241 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: stink about it or whatever.

So we may we need 328 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: to alter some past episodes when we were questioning that. 329 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: But it turns out very serious but you know, the 330 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: biggest concern too is obviously the drains on land and 331 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: water resources to grow things, and that a lot of 332 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: this has created a lot of talk about coffee because 333 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: apparently it takes some like over thirty gallons of water 334 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: to grow and process the beans. It takes for the 335 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: one cup of coffee a consumer would drink um. And 336 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: that's the same thing with like the cattle industry. To 337 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: like livestock obviously takes a tremendous amount of water, and 338 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: those are things that people are sort of aware of. 339 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: And so this new report seems to indicate that maybe 340 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: we're like moving towards a beamless coffee. So the same 341 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: group Horizon Ventures, who was an early investor in Impossible Foods, 342 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: who do like the impossible fake meat, but two point 343 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: six million into this company called a Tomo, which is 344 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: a Seattle based company that they make quote unquote molecular coffee. 345 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: And and this one this isn't sort of it's different 346 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: than like the animal fake like lab meat in that sense. 347 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: What they're doing is that they will make a cup 348 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: of coffee using just sort of all the chemical building blocks. 349 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: So that's quatic acid, dimethyl di sulfide niacin to ethel 350 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: phenol and a hand. Yeah. Yeah, they have to because 351 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: that's what it gives you. That that's sort of a 352 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: bite to it um. But yeah, essentially just saying like, Okay, 353 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: we know it's in coffee, let's just reverse engineer it 354 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: so it's no longer being such a water drain. They're 355 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: not here to say like this is the new coffee. 356 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: It's I think just in the same way of like 357 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: is there another way to do this? Is there another 358 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: way to arrive at this? This is less resource intensive 359 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: breaking things down to their component parts, and reverse engineering 360 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: never works, right right? Yeah, I mean well I think, 361 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, it sounds like a good idea, but it's 362 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: still so early and like there's really no good information 363 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: on this company to suggest that like they've figured it out. 364 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: It's just that they're in the process of figuring it out, right. 365 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: I feel like food is the one thing that we've seen, 366 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: like over sciencing it up has not been beneficial up 367 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: to this point. Like the foods that are healthy are 368 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: the ones that go way way back, Like people who 369 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: are eating in a tradition that goes back like many 370 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: years are usually the healthier people uh, like Mediterranean diets, 371 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: and you know some like Japanese diet and and the 372 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: ones that are like kind of put together from component 373 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: parts and you know, in a lab somewhere by a 374 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: corporation are generally the ones that but I think making 375 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: the world. I don't think they're trying to be like, 376 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: this is the answer to your obesity. Is this molecular 377 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: cop you know? Which is more like? But I mean, 378 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: but I think if you you know, we eat impossible burgers, right, 379 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: and we think the heavens that there's this actually very 380 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: good meat substitute for a hamburger. So I feel like 381 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: I think it's when you get into like the blowing 382 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 1: out the scale of like produce and like the size 383 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: of vegetables that speaking of blowing out, are they taking 384 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: into account the number of flushes, the toilet flushes that 385 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: it takes to deal with. Sorry was writing for me, 386 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: Now you heard about this. I don't drink coffee, so 387 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm not part of the problem. Yeah, and I drink 388 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: canned Kirkland signature colder that can't be coffee. I'm going 389 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: to say that I'm also not part of them. I 390 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: feel like the number of gallons of water that are 391 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: being used on each like thirty seven gallons water to 392 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: grow one coffee cup worth of beans or like, you know, 393 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: I feel like it's even more than that for a 394 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: hamburger is thirteen gowns for a twelve O steak Jesus, 395 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's the new statistic, Like the 396 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: number of square miles of rainforests that are being lost 397 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: every second, like that just it like blows my mind. 398 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: It's like, well, that's so depressing that I don't know, 399 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: like what I can possibly do about that, Like that's 400 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: just an insane amount of Yeah, that's why I think 401 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: these are the sort of important things to factor in with, 402 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: like the u N saying like, you know, I think 403 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: going to meatless diets will help, because if you sort 404 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: of bring that demand down for traditional animal meat, that 405 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: will help things. But they're also people on the other 406 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: side to it, being like, well, how can we raise 407 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: livestock in a way that is also less of a 408 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: drain versus like fuck it, may I just blow the 409 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: ship out like output wise and whatever the resource costs, 410 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: whatever it is. But you know, I'm glad people are 411 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: thinking about it. Yeah, and then I can you know, 412 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: I just want to keep drinking my canned Kirkland if 413 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: I can do that, can't Kirkland water? Yeah, k that's 414 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: that's the future of water. Um yeah, I mean there's 415 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: all these things. There's they are developing a shower that 416 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: requires no water that you just like get in there 417 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: and it just fucking shakes you or something. I don't 418 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: know that that is so stupid. That is how I 419 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: pictured it in my mind. Like that's definitely not the 420 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: compressed air can blow the stink off, yeah, like clean 421 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: you like your keyboard? Well, there are those ones that 422 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: like there was like the super fine missing shower heads 423 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: that like hit you with like a very small amount 424 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: of water, but it was enough to like, yeah, I 425 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: like to shake the ship out of water, motherfucker. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, 426 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: we're going into our waterless future with our eyes wide open. Guys. 427 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll 428 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: be right back. And we're back, and we're talking about 429 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: the difference between Impossible and Beyond Burgers. I'm team Impossible. Yeah, 430 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: I I don't know the difference. I thought they were 431 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: the same company until we had that conversation. Uh, let's 432 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: talk about how the White House is reacting with some 433 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: warning signs of recession going off. You know, we we've 434 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: talked before about how this administration has been having a 435 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: difficult time with the best economic like run in a 436 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: long time in US history going on, So like, how 437 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: are they going to react if things start getting a 438 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: little shaky and we're starting to see a couple examples 439 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, I mean everyone has pointed to the 440 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: yield curve inversion um which and then I'll post a 441 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: link in the footnotes to an excellent article in the 442 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: New York Times for once that was just sort of 443 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: using it as a as a like putting in the 444 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: context of sports betting, like you know, you could take 445 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: a bet like imagine these bonds, right, is a bet 446 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: on the economy, whether it's in the present or the future. Right, 447 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: And so the outlook right now is somewhat okay for 448 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: the economy, but down the road, a lot of the 449 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: knowledge around is like, I don't know about that, And 450 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: they put it like betting on like, for example, the Cardinals, 451 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: like right now don't look good, but they've got a 452 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: new quarterback and new coach, and the Arizona Cardinals that 453 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: looks like the build they could have a little more 454 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: confidence for people taking that bet because like, Okay, right 455 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: now might not be it, but down the road, I 456 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: can see things improving. Or imagine like if you're betting 457 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: on the Patriots in the wake of Tom Brady and 458 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: Belichick saying we're done after this season this season, you'd 459 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, that's good long term. And that's sort 460 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: of what it is now with the US economy, Like 461 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: down the road, all everyone's starting to bet like, oh, 462 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: I don't know about the future. And again doesn't mean 463 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: that that's where it's headed, but it's been one of 464 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: the more consistent indicators of you know, a recession coming. 465 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: But I mean that's what Trump has been saying all along. 466 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: He's the Bill Belichick of this ship. As soon as 467 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: you get rid of him, your fun you're done. Yeah, 468 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: He's like, you better give me your fo O one 469 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: case they're gone. Um, So yeah, I mean, you know, again, 470 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: we have those sort of things happening. We and at 471 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: the same time, Trump has also been you know, parading 472 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: around these fucking empty promises that got him into office, 473 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: like he was going to rework all these bunk trade 474 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: deals with these companies, and that's what's going to get 475 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: the workers back on top, because we've got to have 476 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: America first, and these these you know, they're taking advantage 477 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: of us. It's unbelievable. And at the same time saying, oh, 478 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: let's cut taxes too, and that will make the middle 479 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: class even more solid and maybe revive the middle class. 480 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: But now we're seeing all that is just bullshit because 481 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: the tax cuts have only helped the wealthiest and the 482 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: whole like trickle down thing is not happening like you 483 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: know everyone said it would, obviously, because that happens every 484 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: fucking trickle down economics is the same. You know, sentiment 485 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: as pre come doesn't cause pregnancies. You can say it 486 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: with all the confidence you want, but my man, try 487 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: it out. You might not like. And people have been 488 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: saying it for years. Yeah, exactly, similar um, And again 489 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: with the trade wars, look at what's happening. We are 490 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: all of these tariffs are being passed onto the consumers, 491 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: so just ending up in like a lot of bad 492 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: indicators of how the economy is doing. And that's led 493 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: Trump to basically just saying, like I hate math. He's 494 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: basically saying like these are all conspiracies. He's he's ignoring 495 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: all of the people who are advising him. Well, some 496 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: people are agreeing with him, but trying to find a 497 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: scapegoat because everything he's doing is actually having a negative 498 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: or could potentially have a very negative impact on the 499 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: economy long term. He hates to be confronted with facts. 500 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm just reading a Fear again. Uh not. I didn't 501 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: read it the first time, but we talked about it 502 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: like a year ago. But that's the book from Woodward 503 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: Bob Woodward, the first year of the Trump presidency, and 504 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: there's a scene in there where he's sitting down with 505 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: his economic advisor. I think we talked about the time, 506 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: but it bears repeating that he is. He basically is like, well, 507 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: why don't we just like print more money. We should 508 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: just print more money that that way will be richer, 509 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: And well, yeah, that's so that's his understanding of how 510 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: things work. When I was a kid in played monopoly 511 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: with Xerox the money and I would come back with 512 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: more and they'd be like, where'd you get it, predator? 513 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: Why can't we do that? Yeah? I mean it's I 514 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: mean again, someone with no actual, um functional knowledge of economics, 515 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: this is what you get. And this is what's This 516 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: is where you know we're getting into conspiracy town because 517 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: this is what he's been saying. Behind the scenes. Trump, 518 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: Mr Trump has been This is from the New York Times. 519 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: Mr Trump has been agitated and discussions of the economy 520 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: and by the news media's reporting of warnings of a 521 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: possible recession. He has said forces that do not want 522 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: him to win have been overstating the damage his trade 523 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: war has caused, according to people who have spoken with him, 524 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: and several aids agree with him, that the news media 525 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: is overplaying the fears. Um, adding that this is justifying 526 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: his feelings. So when you look around, everyone is kind 527 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: of parading around the same messaging like no, no, everything's chill. 528 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: It's actually a conspiracy against Trump because they don't want 529 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: him reelected. Um, first up, is Fox News really getting 530 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: on there? It's all a conspiracy against Trump. I'm watching 531 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: this and I'm like, it's so obvious what they're doing 532 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: there there. They do not want him to win again, 533 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 1: and they don't like that the economy is doing well. 534 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: Apparently the CEO of Bank of America put it the best, 535 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: Brian moynahanset the only the only fear of recession we 536 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: have is fair of recession. In other words, the only 537 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: thing that can happen in this country right now that 538 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: can deb rel this economic juggernaut is if everyone believes 539 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: it's going to be the reled. And I hate to 540 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: say it, but to degree, the media almost did that 541 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: in December, and I think some people do it deliberately. Listen, 542 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: there's no economic data out there that suggests we're going 543 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: on the cusp of very much. So what's he doing 544 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: finger quotes on data? I don't, you know, I don't 545 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: have the image, so like, so you know, this is 546 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: sort of the phase there and the idea that it's 547 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: like the only thing that will derailed economy is the 548 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: fear of the only fear is the only thing we 549 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: have to fear is fear itself recession. Yeah, that's amazing, 550 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: What a great what a great line that guy came 551 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: up with on his own. You get on a bus 552 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: and you're like, I think the driver's drunk. It's like 553 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: you're you're a hater. You're a hater and against him. Right, 554 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: The only thing you have to fear about the driver 555 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: being drunk is fear of the driver being drunk and 556 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: possibly driving the bus off and you're strapped the fucking Meanwhile, 557 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: recession fear is highest in eight years, according to a 558 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: Bank of America survey. Right, yeah, and then who boy 559 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: Larry Cudlow, who is the one of the White House 560 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: economic advisors. He so there's already run, there's already rumors 561 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: that he might leave the White House. But this performance 562 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: he gave on the Sunday Shows, to me is one 563 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: of the greatest displays of calm and stoicism in the 564 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: face of economic uncertainty. Um, I guess. First up, he 565 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: was asked about just by Chuck Todd. They're like, hey, man, 566 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of fear of a recession. Can I 567 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: get an answer from you. The private sector seems to 568 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: be concerned about, particularly the trade war with China, that 569 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: that there are some rough waters ahead, maybe a recession, 570 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: that those odds have risen. What do you see. Well, 571 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I sure don't see a recession. 572 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: It's a blockbuster retail sales. Consumer numbers towards the back 573 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: end of last week, really blockbuster numbers. And in fact, 574 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: despite a lot of worries with the volatile stock market, 575 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: the most eponymous on Wall Street, let's just help him 576 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: out on that one.

Favorite China. China is paying for 585 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: these tarifts by a ratio of about four to one. 586 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: That's what we expected to happen.

It was 656 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: like a subtle way to underminer, right, maybe undermine maybe 657 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: humanized or they're people who actually know her and just 658 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: doing that thing where it's like, yeah, you know, the 659 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: other day I was Boberg Stevie boy and I'm sorry 660 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: you guys called Stephen, but yeah, it could be. Yeah, 661 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's tightening up the race a little bit. Yeah, 662 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: it's tightening up. And apparent there's a New York Times 663 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: story talking about sort of what's going on behind the 664 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: scenes between Obama and Biden, because I mean, I think 665 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: people just from the outside are like an Obama endorsement 666 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: would really help read about now his claim to be 667 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: the guy who you know would win this thing is 668 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 1: falling apart. There's less and less there. And apparently they've 669 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: had a meeting. They've had a few discussions. Apparently the 670 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: first time was in two sixteen when he was like, 671 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: you don't don't like Hillary needs to run not and 672 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,720 Speaker 1: he's like, that's the person who he thought would continue 673 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: his legacy. Um, and you know, is the same thing. 674 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: But this sort of little snippet is ranging. The two 675 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: men spoke at least a half dozen times before Mr 676 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: Biden decided to run, and Mr Obama took pains to 677 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 1: cast his doubts about the campaign in personal terms. Quote, 678 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 1: you don't have to do this, Joe, you really don't, 679 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: Mr Obama told Mr Biden earlier this year. Mr Biden, um, 680 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: who thinks he could have defeated Donald Trump four years ago, 681 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: responded by telling Mr Obama he could never forgive himself 682 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,919 Speaker 1: if he turned down a second shot at Trump. He's 683 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: just a punch drunk fighter. I got it, I got it, 684 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: I got it, I got it. Barry, you can't even 685 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 1: you don't even know where you are. Just your uncle 686 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: like getting drunk. It's you know, the far end of 687 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: the bar who's like waiting for that guy he got 688 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: a grudge with twenty years ago. Again, it's like wow, wow, Joe. Um. Yeah. 689 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: And then even then, like once he did decide to run, 690 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: Obama like summoned his advisors to his own office to 691 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: talk to them, and said In March, Mr Obama took 692 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: the unusual step of summoning Mr Biden's top campaign advisors, 693 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: including former White House Coms Director and he'd have done. 694 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: And Biden's longtime spokes when Kate Beddingfield to his DC 695 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: office for briefing on their digital communication strategy. When they 696 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: were done, Mr Obama offered a pointed reminder, win or lose, 697 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: they needed to make sure Mr Biden did not quote 698 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: embarrass himself or damage his legacy and quote during the campaign, 699 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: whoa ringing endorsement? Yeah, that's a fucking friend. Though he's like, 700 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: I tried talking to him. Here's the deal, guys, if 701 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna do it, don't let him piss everything away. 702 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: That's that's rough man. Yeah, and it totally undermines the 703 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: idea that Biden is trying to communicate that like he's 704 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: like he had Obama's like back, and they were like, 705 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, just yeah, there's Gibson Danning glovering this ship 706 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: the whole time. And you know, there were more instances 707 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: in that article we're talking about, like when he would 708 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: he oddly took sides with Mitch McConnell over Obama, like 709 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: and just like there was this thing that Biden always 710 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: had this ambition for higher office that like would creep 711 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: into their interactions at times. And I think now that 712 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: he's free of the vice president label. He can you know, 713 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: put out his own album. Well see how that goes. 714 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: But a lot of this stuff is like people are 715 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: acting like, wow, he's not as sharp as he was 716 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: in two thousand sixteen or you know, even two thousand 717 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: and twelve, two thousand and eight. But like these are 718 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 1: the things that undid his campaigns the last time he 719 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: ran for president, right, is like he's gaff full. Yeah, uh, 720 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: he's gaffable, and he he lied about being involved in 721 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: the civil rights movement. Is there's weird things that happened, 722 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: plagiarized people, and so it's just like it seems like 723 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: he has higher expectations for himself than are reasonable. Look, 724 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: I think he wants for the wrong reasons, but I 725 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 1: think just having him around for the debates and everything 726 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: kind of bolsters everybody else's credibility. Like they all look 727 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: better on the former vice pres Is this your king? 728 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: He's an easy punching bag and they can score points 729 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: easily at every debate. So and then yeah, and then 730 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: he'll sort of be like just go to Joe three 731 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: oh three, oh please what I'm what? All right, We're 732 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: gonna take another quick break and then we'll be back, 733 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:34,439 Speaker 1: and we're back, and so wait, Watchers is still a thing. 734 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 1: Uh And although they have rebranded themselves w w oh great, yeah, 735 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:47,720 Speaker 1: because that's not confusing to anyone, double us yeah, double dubs. 736 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: But they last week launched a new app called Curbo 737 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: k you r b oh like Turbo with a k oh. Dude, 738 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't even know why that's so funny to me. 739 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: That's the worst fucking name. That's like your nickname for 740 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: a dude named Kirby. Yeah, Curbo, yeah, Curbo the puck Meister. 741 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: It is a weight loss app for children as young 742 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: as eight years old. I'm sorry to be used by children, yes, 743 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: to be used by children? Are children? Just everything about 744 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: this is depressing. So it starts out like at the 745 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: very inception as kind of having the gloss of science, 746 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 1: because it was a app that was developed by Stanford 747 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: University's Pediatric Obesity Program, which sounds scientific and professional, and 748 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: there is an obesity problem in America and presumably in 749 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: America's children. But from there it just gets really weird 750 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: with like some of that involves like they ask why 751 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 1: you're doing this, and like your goals can be to 752 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: lose weight, to please my parents. And the website features 753 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: before and after photos of once chubby kids who are 754 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 1: now thin, and that's in quotes. The page also includes 755 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: the fine print results are not typical, and yeah, it 756 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: just all kind of points the idea that thinness is 757 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: the ideal standard. It's designed to promote not like health, 758 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: but like because you weigh in by like tracking your 759 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: measurement and like setting goals. There are things where it's 760 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: like it groups foods into red groups, yellow groups, and green, 761 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: and it's like try to eat more green less red. Uh, 762 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 1: And you know that could be a useful thing to 763 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: like get promote kids eating healthily, but it's it just 764 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 1: has all these other places where it's sort of gamifies, 765 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: like weight loss right and visualizing. It's like you're this, 766 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: but you want to be this, which is why you 767 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: need curb. Oh and as if you know kids aren't 768 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: already getting like bombarded even or with like unrealistic ideas 769 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: of how your life or body should look. It's like, yeah, hahihi, 770 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 1: we want to fucking make you. Do you want to 771 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: mainline some body dysmorphic disorder into your fucking veins at 772 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: eight years old? Yeah? So the National Eating Disorder Association 773 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: said that this poses some grave risks because it is 774 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 1: like giving children advice with no in person monitoring by 775 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: medical professionals. So too kind of illustrate how this could 776 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: go wrong. A dietitian went in and basically made a 777 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: profile that was somebody with an eating disorder, Uh, like 778 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: a fake kid. Yeah, So created a fake profile for 779 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 1: a fourteen year old with a weight that would be 780 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 1: low for her height. Her diet consisted only of mustard, celery, 781 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: and water, and she recorded hours of treadmill exercise. The 782 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 1: app then told her how well she was doing, which, 783 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: so even when you put like would you eat today mustard, 784 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: celery and water, They're like, great, good job, keep going. Yeah, 785 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: you're still fucked up looking, Yeah, and you're clearly in 786 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,439 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, right right, Yeah, you're only eating mustard and celery. Yeah. 787 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: Is that a real diet? I think. I think it's 788 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: one of those things that probably like eating disorder, like 789 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: water and just a little bit of just a way 790 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 1: to trick yourself into like your body into thinking you're 791 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 1: feeding it sustenance and while not feeding itself is weight. 792 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 1: But weight watchers take is sort of like, hey, kids, 793 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: you want to get your own health into your like 794 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: bring a control back into your hands with this app. Right, 795 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: And I'm sure there are instances in which it is useful, 796 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: but it is like they're just putting it out there. 797 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: It's not a thing where you're getting medical attention on 798 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: a person to person basis to judge if this is 799 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 1: going to be useful in that instance, like if if 800 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: you're being monitored, if you're using it in association with 801 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 1: like a doctor kind of working with you and your family, 802 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 1: maybe that would work. But because it's being like you know, 803 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: treated like a an app that they're trying to like 804 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: make a profit off of, it just is going to 805 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: go wrong no matter what. Right. So, like a more 806 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: cynical thing is like that this is the last dying 807 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: gasp of weight Watchers to try and like insert themselves 808 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 1: and being like this is how you'll get control of 809 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 1: your weight versus like the Internet where you can find 810 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 1: every fucking diet under the sun that people are into now, 811 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: And doesn't you don't have to pay like a membership 812 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 1: for that information.

And also 869 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 1: like just the power that fucking Amazon has to wield 870 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: where they're like, yeah, we'll eat all that all the 871 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,800 Speaker 1: losses on this promo and pay for it, you know, 872 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: subsidize it.

And Amazon 874 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: is fucking relentless with the DVDs. And there are streaming 875 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 1: service you know, like during the whole like nomination process, 876 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: it was Amazon, Hulu and Netflix sent out more DVDs 877 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: than anyone. I was throwing out countless dv for something 878 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 1: that I'm already streaming for Freeze. It's funny.

But yeah, it does. 887 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: It does seem odd for something like as ubiquitous is 888 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 1: like Amazon or Netflix. I know it helps. Larry could 889 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 1: love is Blockbuster stock.

They'll be like the brands are, We'll be 905 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 1: lining up for this man, They'll be masal days day. 906 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, watch, this is gonna be an 907 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: annual thing. We just gotta start now. I know we're 908 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: gonna probably lose about two million dollars on this, but 909 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: we got to. I mean, the things that they were offering. 910 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: I guess what. I don't know how much a manicure costs, 911 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 1: but two dollars sounds pretty good. I'd get one for 912 00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 1: two bucks. Now. If they could get this to be 913 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 1: a national holiday like that all just fifty nine day 914 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,439 Speaker 1: or like where where you get everybody gets to pay 915 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 1: for things for at prices that they were like fifty 916 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: years ago. That would be pretty I would respect Amazon. 917 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: They're like, well, care the difference. I think if you 918 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: are a billionaire owner of a company, you should be 919 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: legally obligated to have prices for like one week out 920 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,840 Speaker 1: of the year, right and eat eat all that fucking loss, 921 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: Eat fucking every bit of that. It's going to help 922 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,399 Speaker 1: the yield curve in version or you know, we could 923 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: just pay people fucking living wages. I don't know, but 924 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: I like these promos. Right, Well, that's the thing. It 925 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: has to be like cute and fun for it to 926 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 1: work in our modern economy. I feel like that's like, yeah, 927 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,319 Speaker 1: that's the dark side though of this promo. Right, it's 928 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: sort of when you see prices like this, people go, 929 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 1: oh wow, I could do this ship right, you know, 930 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 1: like if you don't have all this disposable income, Like 931 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: that's where you kind of see the sort of darker 932 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: elements of how wages are stagged nating. And people were like, yeah, actually, 933 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: this this feels right. This is like a world I 934 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: could live in, versus one where I'm like, I don't know, 935 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 1: should I should I eat at this place because the 936 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 1: sandwiches fucking twenty eight bucks. Yeah, it's if it's like 937 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 1: a cute viral stunt man, that's we're in. Uh yeah, 938 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: I mean people will line up around the block for 939 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 1: like people of promos, right yeah. And for gas that's 940 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: like a dollar cheaper than like the average gas price, 941 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 1: like that will cause a riot. And they offered it 942 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: for I think normal per gallon costs were three seventy 943 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: four at the time, three eight four, and they were 944 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 1: offering it for thirty cents. So yeah, they should have known. 945 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: You could have got a movie ticket for fifty one cents. Yeah, 946 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: well movie passed. They could have made their money if 947 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:52,360 Speaker 1: we had that's right. So another thing that's going on 948 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 1: with Amazon that kind of ties into this is kind 949 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 1: of a good example of the adorably convenient way that 950 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 1: Amazon is owning the world. So you can get like 951 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 1: these bargain basement prices on any book, like that's kind 952 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 1: of been their thing from day one. But usually they 953 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: are providing those really amazing prices by you know, pulling 954 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 1: books from other countries that might not have the same 955 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: copyright laws as US. And so somebody was recently pointing 956 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: out that when you order the book four by George 957 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 1: Orwell online on Amazon, you will frequently get books that 958 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: have like insane problems with Like one reader discovered his 959 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: new copy of Fur had passages that were worded different. 960 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 1: For instance, the word faces was replaced with feces. Uh. 961 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 1: In one case that might change the meaning of the Yeah. 962 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,919 Speaker 1: There was other Orwell books that skipped just a chunk 963 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: of pages, and that seemed to actually be a routine experience. 964 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 1: One edition of Animal Farm a Fairy Story where do 965 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: itself on the back cover as animals Farm a fair Story, 966 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: which chance changed the meaning again uh, and the preface 967 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: referred to another Great Warwell work, uh homage to Catalonia 968 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:20,320 Speaker 1: as homepage to Catalonia. Uh. So these are just like 969 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:25,439 Speaker 1: fake knockoff books or something right so terribly translated. Yeah 970 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 1: so uh. Four is still in within its copyright uh 971 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 1: protection in the US and the UK, but like in India, 972 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 1: they don't have the same copyright laws. So there's you know, 973 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,719 Speaker 1: publishers over there who are just going to you know, 974 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: make a quick buck by printing a bunch of cheap 975 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 1: versions of it, and they might not get all the 976 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 1: words correct. They're not intentional misspelling. They're not intentional. It's 977 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: like they've been put into Google translating back right, and 978 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: they're like, great, just print it. Or they have a 979 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: bunch of like, hey you type really fast, Yeah, type 980 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,720 Speaker 1: this whole book up for me, okay, and then faces 981 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,439 Speaker 1: becomes feces. Yeah. So it's funny when I mean, first 982 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,680 Speaker 1: of all, it's just a funny headline to say that 983 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 1: four passages are being rewritten by Amazon. But it's not 984 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: like the heavily controlled version of thought control that the 985 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: book imagines. It's the sort of wild eyed, all consuming 986 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:30,560 Speaker 1: chaos of the Internet and economic opportunism and just all 987 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: of that stuff. But it's still fucked up because you 988 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,800 Speaker 1: get feces instead of faces, and that changes the message. 989 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 1: It's like thought control making making things very dumb or 990 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,839 Speaker 1: slightly dumber. Well, look, I for one bow to our 991 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 1: corporate overlords and welcome all these counterfeit books. Um. I 992 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 1: just like that. Their statement is so fucking weird. Yeah. 993 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,840 Speaker 1: Their statement is there is no single source of truth 994 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 1: for the copyright status of every book in every country, 995 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 1: and so it relies on the authors and publishers to 996 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 1: police its site. That's very ORWILLI Yeah, which is odd. 997 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:18,479 Speaker 1: I mean there's no single source of truth. Uh what really? Okay? Great? 998 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 1: Check out our typo laid in e books that you 999 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 1: can buy for pennies on the pennies on it.
