00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 4: the last time like you saw, like I remember, I

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 4: thought there were people dancing in the streets that day,

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: Like there was some light dancing in the street.

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some heavy dancing in the streets.

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: They so the updates as of now they know what

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: the shooter looked like. Because he took off his mask

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: at a Starbucks, which leads leads me down the path

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: of not the super Jason Bourne assassin that some people

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: thought it might be.

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Risen up the barista Starbucks before.

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: He has pictures of him, He has a smile on

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: his face that just looks like he is being so

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: charmed by whatever the barista just said to him in

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: a way.

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: Does that not indicate some kind of like cold, methodical

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: person too, I don't know.

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Or does it not indicate the Starbucks when you're here,

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: you're home, you know. I'm just saying Starbucks might want

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: to be like this guy couldn't even remember to keep

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: his mask on to hide his identity.

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: He felt so comfortable, comfortable.

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: Just like smiling warmly inside the confines of Starbucks. The

46
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: bullets had messages on them, So we're saying it's unclear

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: what the motive is, Like, is the motive going to

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: just be some strange thing where it's like that guy's

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: shirt is too bright blue or something, you know.

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 5: What I mean?

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, like just completely random, yeah, random. But the bullets

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: actually had the words denied, defend, and depose written on them.

53
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: On the casings. I did see someone post one of

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: those wooden like wine mom signs with like denied, defend,

55
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: depose written and like this so impressive on driftwood.

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: The speed at which the like the memes are how

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: is also mind blowing.

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: Like it's it's almost like everyone needed.

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: A way to articulate all of this anger at our

60
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: fucked up healthcare system suddenly and it's like a wave

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: of shit posts.

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I feel like, if we're going to have a French

63
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: revolution today, like this is like that, this is how

64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: the sentiment that fueled the French Revolution would come out

65
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: today is via shit posts, you know, right, But it

66
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: does seem like there's a sentiment here.

67
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: It would seem you.

68
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 4: Know, no, definitely an escalation and I think, you know,

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: it's a just quick class consciousness heat check.

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: Let's just see.

71
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, a lot of people are quickly realizing they

72
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: don't aren't siding with this person. But the other thing

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: is that those three words den I, defend a pose.

74
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: A lot of people are saying like that. It seems

75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: like it's referencing just a thing within the healthcare industry.

76
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: And a book called Deny, Delay, defend, which is like

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: and the subheader of that book was how like insurance

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: company try to deny coverage and how you can avoid

79
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: that basically.

80
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so things has a certain self or a certain

81
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: class like warfare edge to it. But you were saying

82
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: that depose is also a thing, like they're like depose,

83
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: like put someone through deposition if they.

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: The legal Yeah, the legal quagmire just gunk up the

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 4: process by being like, all right, take us to court

86
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: because you don't have We can be in court forever,

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: can you.

88
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

89
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: The one person who's most on my mind at this

90
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: moment is the multi billionaire owner of Cardier, who you

91
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: know mentioned before that he was already losing sleep over

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: the idea that poor the poor might rise up, and

93
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: like that was back in twenty fifteen, so who knows

94
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: like he might be down to like twelve eleven hours

95
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: of comfortable sleep at night at this point.

96
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is so worry anyways, it is.

97
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: I wonder what those people are think, like the rationalizing people,

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: their level of wealth.

99
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they were already I think a little bit terrified,

100
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: So I feel like this wouldn't be shocking too.

101
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you think you're going to see like weird

102
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: like diet Maya Kulpas from billionaires to be like, WHOA,

103
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: let's turn the heat down, guys. I'm giving away like

104
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: five percent of my wealth today.

105
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: There's no probably not in the immediate future. I think

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: in the media future, we'll just see them doubling down

107
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: on uh.

108
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: Like personal security and.

109
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Security and like in pushing the limits of uh, you know,

110
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: weaponized like ways to be followed around by a drone, right,

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: you know that will kill anybody who moves too quickly

112
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: towards you. All right, We're moving on to Prampis. We've

113
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: talked recently about this idea that America just has this

114
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: amazing ability to block out the darkness, only let in

115
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: the light, just eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, their

116
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: history and really just everything that goes.

117
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: On around them.

118
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: And it turns out Santa Claus is one of those

119
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: things where we've only let in the cheerful person who

120
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: knows when you're asleep and knows when you're awake. And

121
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: there's a sinister other side to that coin called crampis

122
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: that you know, I think people on the Internet are

123
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: aware of. But it does seem like it's kind of

124
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: becoming more of a thing, you know, as a major

125
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: figure in Red one a film that I don't know

126
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: anyone who might have seen that.

127
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.

128
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 4: Even it's probably so scary too. All the trailers they

129
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: played in front of that way too scary. Yeah, there

130
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: is a good there's a good depiction of Crampis because

131
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: you know that's the sort of that's like the duality

132
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: of the characters.

133
00:06:59,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: There's JK.

134
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: Simon's or Simmons as Santa and then Crampis played by

135
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: the red hair guy from Game of Thrones.

136
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, good casting for Crampus. Anyways, San Antonio, which

137
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: a surprisingly German place. I went to a wedding in

138
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: San Antonio and they like one of the events was

139
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: at this bar that had like people dancing and leader

140
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: hosen and I was like, why is this happening in Texas?

141
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: And they were like, oh, this place is like mostly

142
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: German for a lot of its history, like a lot

143
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: of the settlers who came in from elsewhere.

144
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: The Colvins.

145
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: Yes, that since eighteen forty German noblemen formed the addols

146
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: Varin group to protectl immigrants coming to Texas.

147
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so now San Antonio is going to hold its

148
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: first ever Crampis Walk this week, which will feature live

149

00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: between Saint Na Glass and Crampish.

151
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,440

Speaker 2: Scarring is yeah, It's like yeah.

155
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 1: The central question of the central tension of Nightmare Before

156
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Christmas is that it only exists because we edited out

157
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: this Crampus figure. And you're never gonna guess how American

158
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: Christians in San Antonio are responding to the Crampis Walk

159
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,920

Speaker 3: Christians.

162
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: They're calling it an attack on our kids, arguing Crampus

163
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: is not welcome in San Antonio. They even staged a

164
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: protest outside a city hall, urging the city say no

165
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: to Crampis. Uh, say no to Crampus, choose peace. God

166
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: has not giving us a spirit of fear, but of power,

167
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: love and a sound mind.

168
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: What does that have to do with fucking Crampis?

169
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: Dude, Dude, pull up a.

170
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: Fucking Bible verse that's calling out Crampis dog.

171
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: Crampis is twisted dog. You don't know, I mean, Crampus

172
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: ain't even in the Bible.

173
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: What's the problem because he's demonic?

174
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, fine, isn't that where we get demonic from in

175
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: the Bible? Pikeville, Kentucky, I'll shout out the South getting

176
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: their letting their crampis flag fly. They also had plans

177
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: to throw a Crampis parade, but it saw such backlash

178
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: as the city eventually capitulated to the demands of critics

179
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: and straight up canceled it, which then led to a

180
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: backlash to the backlash and people bemoaning the war on crampus.

181
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 3: I just love that.

182
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Do that?

183
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: Like like a local journalist is like, you know, the

184
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: city cave to cancel culture.

185
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: But in this version, it's the version of right wingers

186
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: being like, get fucking Crampis out.

187
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's the idea of being canceled has

188
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: been used so widely that it.

189
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: Has lost all means. Yeah, it's completely meaningless.

190
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: It's just like whoa when when somebody gets sick and

191
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: has to cancel a tour date, it's canceled culture because

192
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: the show is canceled.

193
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like when I throw away expired yogurt, cancel culture.

194
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: Crampus parades do have a tendency to get pretty rowdy

195
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: and even violent. At the Austrian One this year, a

196
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: drunken brawl involving fifty people broke out. But that does

197
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: not seem to be the reason that Crampis was canceled.

198
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: It seems to have more to do with like knee

199
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: jerk satanic panic freakouts.

200
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I the interesting thing about crampis, right like to

201
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: your point of like we don't like to acknowledge any

202
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 4: sort of darkness that exists within our culture, whereas like

203
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: many other cultures, like they have these figures that are

204
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 4: like yeah, and that's like kind of like this dark

205
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: figure that can mess with you or influence you or whatever.

206
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: In America, it's like all sanitized. It's like there's no

207
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 4: such thing like ship that's a bar, Like don't I

208
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 4: know you blew out of his ears? You guys fucking

209
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: got my eyes are bleeding and ship because like I

210
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: think you've said to like how horror is like the

211
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: closest we come as a culture to actually acknowledging the

212
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: darkness that exists within our culture, rather than having some

213
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: expressly manifest figure folklore figure that kind of we can.

214
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: Like touch on to be like yeah, and then there's

215
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: this thing.

216
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: It's always like done, none that exists, but none that

217
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 4: now that exists.

218
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, and then you just throw up. You're like, yeah,

219
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: it's a it's a very healthy, healthy uh binge and purge.

220
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: That that's legit. Why it's purge we binge and purge.

221
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: We uh completely purge ourselves of any darkness and then

222
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: it all comes out all at.

223
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: Once when tally the purge is more like the binge.

224
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the binge. Indeed.

225
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: Miles Indeed related story about like why maybe America's Christmas

226
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: culture needs something like this. Mariah Carey was just celebrating

227
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: the thirtieth anniversary of her Christmas album with a tour

228
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: and a stop in Saint Louis, Missouri, and.

229
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: People just start punching each other in the face.

230
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: So we don't laugh too hard at the crampus fist

231
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: fight because two old whites just started punching each other

232
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: right in the face. As all I want for Christmas

233
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: is you started playing like, you know, this.

234
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: Shit looked like Phil Donahue or some shit I think

235
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: when a woman throws some wine on it, Yeah, and

236
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: this one just goes, oh, just splash her with a wine,

237
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 4: gave her a slap, the husband's holding her back. Philer

238
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: comes Phil Donahue. Is he gonna throw a straight right up?

239
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 4: We don't get to see the punch thrown, but yeah, Hey, the.

240
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: Only reason we have this is because it happened to

241
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: be happening in the background as somebody was taking a

242
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: selfie and as the song started, which.

243
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 4: Is great because I don't know if it was done

244
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 4: cheekily or just like that perfect comedic timing where like

245
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: a couple's like, babe, let's do our selfie video. There's

246
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 4: Mariah sing in the hit song and then you're like,

247
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: oh they're I mean, they get the initial win wine splash,

248
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: So I feel like they couldn't have possible unless they.

249
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: She's like watch this shit.

250
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: They've been talking ship. It is about to go up.

251
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come

252
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: back and talk about YMCA.

253
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 2: And we're back.

254
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 3: We're back.

255
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: So this ties into something that we've talked about before,

256
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: because you went and saw the Village people had last

257
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: year in concert last year, and you were pointing out

258
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: how like one of the things.

259
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I just want to say why

260
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: I went to see those village people?

261
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: Okay, because The thing.

262
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 4: Is they had discounted tickets at the Hollywood Bowl because

263
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 4: I bought them the day of and I got really

264
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: good seats for forty dollars that would normally cost hundreds.

265
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: So that that's why.

266
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: I was there, Uh huh watching them, because it was

267
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: for the deal for the seats. Now, go on, I

268
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: don't know what you're about to say about one. You

269
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 4: were there with you were what and I was there

270
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 4: with my human wife. That's email, But you were set.

271
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: You were pointing out that during that show, like one

272
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: of the members kept taking the mic and like talking

273
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: about how, yeah.

274
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: How he has a wife. It was very odd because yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

275
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: The specifically the guy who played the soldier. It wasn't

276
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: the lead singer whatever willis that guy's name. It was

277
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: the It was the guy who played the soldier. He

278
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: was the one introducing the like the other village people members,

279
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: and he had been like the longest serving, so he

280
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: had the honor of like going down and introducing everyone.

281
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: But he like reiterated at least two times in a

282
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: way that was completely unrelated that he was married to

283
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: a woman, Like in this very very ham fisted kind

284
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: of way where it's just sort of like, and you obviously,

285
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: I've been with the Village People for very long, and

286
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: this is a very storied group I'm honored to be

287
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: a part of.

288
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: And you know, I just want to say.

289
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: My wife of thirty five years is out in the

290
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: crowd tonight. I love you baby, my human lady wife.

291
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: All right now Native American come up to like human

292
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: lady introducing everybody.

293
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: And they came back, and when it was done, he's like,

294
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: and thank you so much.

295
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: And again my wife, who is in the audience, who

296
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 4: does exist.

297
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: I love you baby, let's sing macho man.

298
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

299
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: So they yeah, they're they're whether it was this person

300
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: in particular. It seems like in this band, in this group,

301
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: there has been some difficulty, some internal conflict happening with

302
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: the legacy of their music and who they think of

303
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: themselves as. Right, So one of the lead singers announced,

304
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: come January twenty twenty five, my wife will start suing

305
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: each and every news organization that falsely refers to YMCA,

306
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: either in their headlines or alluded to in the base

307
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: of the story that YMCA is somehow a gay anthem,

308
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: because such notion is based solely on the song's lyrics

309
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: alluding to illicit activity for which it does not. That

310
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: sounds like somebody trying to pretend they have a legal degree.

311
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean again, you ask anywhere whether you like

312
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,359
Speaker 4: it or not. You know, YMCA did become a gay anthem,

313
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: but they are very they're to do about that. You

314
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: can't get music like your song? Yeah, what that's cool?

315
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: But yeah.

316
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: Oh and Victor does point out on the chat he said,

317
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: well be careful now, uh, you know, we should. We

318
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: might have to edit this out because we don't want

319
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: another lawsuit from the villages. But actually, you know what,

320
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: Victor and our defense he said, starting January twenty twenty five,

321
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: so we can get it in until then.

322
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: Get your licks in, boys.

324
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: so get your licks in boys.

325
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: It is really odd, I mean, and I guess it

326
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: makes sense for somebody who is such a like a

327
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: Trump supporter like this, the like lead singer is of

328
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: the village people, that he would then be doubling down

329
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 4: on like his homophobia and being like this is like

330
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: the most mainly fucking shit ever. Dude, what else have

331
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 4: you seen a ripped construction? Worker, a ripped Native American

Speaker 4: with very problematic costume on a biker Like it's just yeah,

333
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 4: I don't know this. Yeah, I feel bad for him.

334
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 4: I feel bad for him, but I don't because he's

335
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: also making so much money, So just fucking deal with it.

336
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: He did say the financial benefits have been great.

337
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: YMCA is estimated to grow several million dollars since the

338
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: President of lex continued use of the song. Therefore, I'm

339
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: glad I allowed the president of a lex continued use

340
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: of YMCA, and I thank him for choosing to use

341
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: my song. All his statements sound like they were yeah,

342
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: generated by like chat GPT, but like a bad version.

343
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.

344
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 4: Again, there was another thing that it was supposed to be,

345
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: I think originally San Francisco, and then it became YMCA.

346
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 5: Sam Francisco, Yeah, became YMCA, like and I don't know apparently,

00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 5: lead singer, the Willis Guy, and he's I guess forever

349
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 5: been so defensive about this.

Speaker 4: Like always sings like I don't see it like that.

351

Speaker 4: I don't see it like that.

352
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: He's like, why won't you focus on my other songs

354
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,199
