Speaker 1: the teacher strike in l A, all that and more.

66
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: But first, Courtney, we'd like to ask our guest, what

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that is revealing about

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: who you are deep down as a human being? Oh?

69
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Deep down? Well, So I was home in Minnesota and

70
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: it's super bummed me out that all of Main Street

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: have been wiped out in my little hometown. Is your

72
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: is the main street literally called main Street? It is

73
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: literally main Street. I grew up in l A. So

74
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: these things are so quaint, Like it's called main Street

75
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: and it's like five blocks long, you know. But there

76
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: were five drug stores or four drug stores on main

77
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: Street when I was growing up, and now I drove

78
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: through and there's zero. Are they just shuttered up? Yeah?

79
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: Like well or they're like ones like trying to be

80
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: a gym, like you know, they're like repurposed into these

81
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: odd little businesses that are Yeah, so it super bummed

82
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: me out, and I was like how I was just

83
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: racking my brain. I was like, what industry could come

84
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: here to like revitalize this town. And then my mom's like, oh,

85
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: they're having a little shark tank competition with like you know,

86
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: like it's just twenty dollars, but they're like trying to

87
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: bring into town. So I was searching. I'm not a

88
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: business person, I'm not probably not going to figure this out,

89
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: but I was like, what are the best e commerce

90
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: businesses to start? That's I was searching all that kind

91
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: of stuff, right to bring the money back to your town.

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: I wish ze gang look into it. Jackson, Minnesota, Minnesota.

93
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: What airport do you have flying into I flew into

94
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Sioux Falls, South Dakota that's like ninety minutes away. Okay,

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: does that is that one of those ones that lands

96
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: on a lake like a puddle hopper plant or it's

97
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: an actual airport, but it's tiny. It's like the terminals

98
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: aren't a one or whatever one to three, four five,

99
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: and they're also gates too. Yes, And do you think

100
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: four drug stores was maybe excessive? Do you think maybe

101
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: too many drug stores maybe, but like in the you know,

102
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: ten years prior, that was probably the right amount and

103
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: then those went out of business. But really it's Walmart's fault. Yes,

104
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: well that's that's what they do with the Walton's. Yeah,

105
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: they do. They just kind of suck up all the

106
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: resources from a distance. And then yeah, so is there

107
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: a nearby Walmart that like twenty minutes away? And I

108
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: remember the debate about should we bring a Walmart to town? Yeah,

109
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: and it's like, yes, you should have at least, I mean,

110
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: at least you would have something. Well, but at the

111
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: cost of look at all those old drug stores, you

112
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because from twenty minutes away then

113
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: would be coming to Jackson versus, right instead of vice versa.

114
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying for the Walmart to be in Jackson.

115
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh so now you have something like we're going to

116
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: preserve this thing. And it's like that was exactly the

117
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: wrong mental right, Yeah, well yeah, they destroy all those

118
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: Mama pop business people will drive twenty minutes away for

119
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: that super cheap opio it's and all that good sweet

120
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: sweet pap Yeah, what is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Okay,

121
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: I need to come here and chill for a major corporation.

122

154
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: your car right right right, Well, if you get out

155
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: of the car, then the world's your oyster. Veggie grill

156
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: also good? Yeah? Oh yeah, what do you get a

157
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: peggie grill? Um? They have a little buffalo wraps too.

158
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: I love the Buffalo bomber. Look at us. What is

159
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? I am so sick of

160
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: this con MARII bullshit? What the oh Maria condo? Yeah?

161
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: What's it? Yeah? Whatever her name is? That I've seen

162
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: a million times. Yes, five days, Yeah, have you watched it?

163
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it. I did the audible of the

164
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: book and I was like, this should be one page.

165
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Is such a simple idea, but I listened to the

166
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: whole thing so sad. But yeah, you know, we don't.

167
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: We don't need to do that, but touch every item

168
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: to see if joy just you know, throw your shirt

169
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: away or let it stack up, like just live your life.

170
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean I think you know, it makes

171
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: sense in Japan where space is very limited for people,

172
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: like in their apartments and things like that, like you can't.

173
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: You don't really have the luxury of being able to

174
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: hoard and if you do, it's probably like danger to

175
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: your safety. Maybe it's triggery to me because I want

176
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: to do it, and I think that's what it is though,

177
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: right because also I could hold something in my mind

178
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: be like oh yeah, I feel something. It might not

179
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: be that it brings me to joy. It could be

180
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: that the panic about me what if I needed in

181
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: five years? I know also as a writer, I used

182
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: to it. I go back sometimes and to reconstruct a

183
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: story a little bit, like I want to check myself

184
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: and I need some of the paper that's stacked up

185
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: or whatever. Do you really you go back through like

186
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: piles of papers, not piles of paper, but like sometimes

187
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: look at pictures or you know, yeah, yeah, I feel

188
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: like clothing or home items are like easy to get

189
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: rid of. Yeah, I don't hold that kind of stuff.

190
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I love history, So anything that has some

191
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: kind of historical or like value, like in a nostalgic way,

192
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't. I can't get rid of that, right,

193
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: that was the that was the hand the turkey hand

194
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: drawing I made in kindergarten. Actually, oh yeah, your desk

195
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: is covered with turkey turkey hand drawings, crumbled up old

196
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: brown shopping bags made to look like deer skins where

197
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: caveman drawing. All of your book covers that you made

198
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: it exactly when you have to do that in public

199
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: school ever, Yeah, make your own book. Yeah, oh man,

200
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: I used to do the you know, do the comics section,

201
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, or just do the brown paper bag and

202
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: then draw a wild Stuicys is on it. Well, also

203
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: with Marie Condo. So it's a reality show, right, and

204
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: like that makes you feel worse about yourself, which isn't

205
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: reality TV to like make us feel like better people

206
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: by watching people treat each other like ship. Well, I

207
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: think it's all depends on how your what your disposition is.

208
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, like you can watch it and be like,

209
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: oh funk, I need to get on this wave, or

210
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: you could be like Courtney be like fuck no, I'm

211
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: not watching it though. But I think people that it

212
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: appeals to our yeah on the self help tips, so

213
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: they're like yeah, or just how you're wired, Like, I

214
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: don't mind. I don't need to have everything like decluttered immediately.

215
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: But there are people who have the visual mess just

216
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: stresses them out. And I think for those people, this

217
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: is the kind of thing that can give them the

218
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: tools to declutter and ship. Oh yeah, but you know,

219
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: to eat their own if you want to be a

220
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: sloppy hoard or just sloppy hoard. Uh. And finally, what

221
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: is a myth? What's something people think is true you

222
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: know to be false. Okay, so this is my my

223
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: hardest category, you guys. But I would say that rejection

224
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: is a bad thing, and I'm being totally serious. I

225
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: was did you guys read the New York Times thing

226
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: that Emily Winters wrote about getting rejected a hundred times.

227
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: So that was like her resolution last year and mine

228
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: was the same. Mine was actually two, but we calculated

229
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: slightly different. Supposed to experience as much rejection as possible. Yeah,

230
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: just as like a freelance creative person like I'm I'm

231
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: a perfectionist, and so I was like, I just need

232
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: to desensitize myself a little and and go for it.

233
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: And it is totally a numbers game. So anyway, it

234
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: unlocked all kinds of ship. Last year I just wrote

235
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: about this, right, and you had a terrible year in

236
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: your career last year too, and my worst year. Uh

237
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: well yeah, so what was that like? Going from perfectionist

238
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to like repeated exposure therapy to reject It was just like, oh,

239
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: this is it was like a key that unlocked you know,

240
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: what my career could look like if I just like

241
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: went for it a little right, right right, Rather than

242
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: like I made way more money freelancing than I did

243
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: the year before, I got way more bylines I got,

244
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: you know, I got a byline that was like one

245
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: of my goal you know, Washington Post, and you know

246
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: now I have more of those to get in the future.

247
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, you know this is more

248
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: of how I should be pursuing. Sure. Well yeah, and

249
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: you and you're saying you're pushing back aginst people who

250
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: are like rejections bad. Yeah, well I had that belief, right. Well,

251
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: I think the inherent right, you're a failure. Yeah, I

252
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: think we're wired that way. Well, and so many people

253
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: to like you, look at people, how many people like

254
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: might stall on their careers still very later in life,

255
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: and they're like, the whole time I wanted it, I

256
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: just wasn't there mentally to allow myself to like open

257
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: myself up to the threat of like I guess ego

258
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: annihilation of being rejected or whatever. Yeah. Sometimes it is

259
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: your own self worth ship that holds you back or

260
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: like I shouldn't be going for this yet or whatever. Yeah, yeah,

261
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for this. Yeah, just sucking. Let the

262
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: river take you, you know, don't don't hold onto the

263
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: rocks along the way because it's going too fast, you

264
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean. The only way around us through right,

265
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: you got to take that take that conflict? Um and

266
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: did you hit your number? Did you get? Yeah? I actually,

267
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: well I counted, you know, if I followed up with

268
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: someone and after a couple of times like in here

269
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: back that was also so I counted those, but I

270
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: got over training order. I got two of those. I

271
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: can't go to Colorado anymore. And you didn't have to

272
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: like cram at the end of the year and just

273
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: be like, hey, I want a million dollars um. It

274
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: was no, it was peaks and valleys. But I did

275
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: like a lot in the spring. Actually it was maybe

276
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: my busiest time of getting so much work to get

277
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: rejected two hundred times. Well, it also changes your process, right,

278
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: because you go from everything being a make or brake

279
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: situation or everything is writing on this one moment or

280
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to becoming more of like having more of like

281
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: a scientific process on where you're experimenting where like this works,

282
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: this didn't, this works, this did okay, and I can

283
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: sharpen it. Yeah. But and it's not that many because

284
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it was like the same piece that was going

285
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: out and it's like, for the reasons that I have

286
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: no control over, that place wasn't going to run it.

287
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: And sometimes I'd send them out like in pretty quick

288
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: succession because you know it was time sensitive or whatever.

289
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: So that's so great. It's not like I just you

290
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: had ideas that didn't get used. Yeah, no, totally. Yeah,

291
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: it's not that you are have bad ideas that you

292
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: hustled your ass off. Yeah, I mean that's a great

293
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: way to think. Like, thinking like that helped me get

294
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: around some social anxiety, just being like, Okay, I am

295
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: learning from this and every time I'm uncomfortable, I'm like

296
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: getting better at the experience. And so you almost go

297
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: out seeking like the thing that you used to be

298
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: afraid of. Yeah, that helps you a lot. Well, there's

299
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: so much valuable information in something not going right to write, like,

300
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: if it's going right, you have very little reason to

301
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: change your thinking or at least be a little more

302
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: self aware or analyze yourself. But the worst thing that

303
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: you can do, I think is like close yourself off

304
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: to it. And it's what rejection normally does. So if

305
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: you just start like staying and then you just become inert,

306
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: you know what im If you don't really go and

307
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: try and expand yourself, well, actually I have to correct you.

308
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: The worst thing you can do is report on something

309
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: that The Rock was misquoted on. That is the worst

310
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: thing you can do. Because our listeners were not happy

311
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: with us, which is understandable. It was. It was a

312
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: bit of a timing thing where we recorded before he

313
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: corrected the record. But you know that this is something

314
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: to always keep in mind that the British tabloid media

315
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: is there. They are on some ship. They're willing to

316
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: straight make ship up. Now did he now this is?

317
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: This is the other question asking do we know what

318
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: really happened here? Did they Frankenstein a bunch of other

319
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: things together out of correct estimation? I don't know if

320
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: he is just you know, more powerful and so much

321
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: more likable than the British tabloid press that people are

322
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, they probably made it up. I'm willing

323
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: to go with it. Handled it. Maybe they took a

324
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: different word from like five different sentences to you know,

325
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: make it seem like he was being more opinionated than

326
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: he is. I don't wanna judge him at all, because, yeah,

327
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: the media can be funked up about stuff like this,

328
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: and the Rock is obviously supernaturally likable and you know

329
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that. Uh. He used to be

330
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: a Republican though, guys, just keep that in mind. He

331
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: pull up at the conventions, get the photo turn out hyped. Yeah,

332
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: but then you know, when they asked me if he

333
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: was going to run there like as a Republican, He's like, no,

334
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: I'm too smart. I'm an independent now. Yes, but so

335
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: at least you know that's the thing, Like, even if

336
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: he is a Republican, I don't really have a problem

337
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: with it because he's not dealing with like the the

338
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: fucked parts of being a conservative to what from what

339
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: I can see, like he's not on some xenophobic ship.

340
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: If he is on this, like you know, snowflake is

341
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: um thing. If it was true and he was pushing

342
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: back against you know, the the idea that people are

343
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: just looking for a reason to defendant, that would make

344
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: me scratch my head a little bit. But yeah, I

345
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: think there's room to be a chill conservative. As my

346
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: favorite spiritual guru Kevin Hart said, we have to make

347
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: room for people to learn and grow. You know. So no,

348
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, our bed and you know now you know

349
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: that we record Monday's episode. Also, Jack has a wild

350
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: elbow sized mark on his chest bruise because the rock

351
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: found him and delivered the People's elbow on him in

352
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: the middle of Wilshire Boulevard. That is, you didn't say

353
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: it was just the millennials are the snowflake generation, right, well, yeah,

354
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: and this other thing of like that all these people

355
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: fought for our freedom and it's just it read like

356
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: just a tot like like Fox News thinking, yeah, and

357
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: now they're just looking for a reason to be offended

358
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: about anything now setting us back. Yeah, and it's like

359
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: setting us back. And I was putting into the context

360
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: of him calling Vin Diesel a candy ass on the

361
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: set of fest and the Furious. But again I don't

362
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: know the whole story there. Uh, it just it read.

363
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: I sometimes occasionally get very intent Jim Teacher vibes from

364
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: the Rock, but this I have no right to bring

365
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 1: those vibes up in the context of this story, because

366
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: fuck the British tabloid media. If you haven't seen the

367
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: documentary Tabloid That Ship is Wild by Errol Morris, it's

368
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: about the British tabloid media and how they will just

369
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: make up a story. Basically, should we check that out? Yeah?

370
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: Should we talk about the box office? Let's talk about

371
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: the box office. Well, my main man, Kevin Hart, was

372
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: number one against industry speculation. They didn't think the movie

373
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: would break ten million. His new movie, The upside with

374
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: Brian Cranston. I've only seen the poster. It's about him

375
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: pushing a man in a wheelchair and smiling. Yes, basically

376
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: Cranston is in the wheelchair. He's playing paraplegic and Kevin

377
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: Hart is his like nurse caretaker. And uh, it's based

378
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: on this French movie called The Intouchables from number of

379
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: years back, like five or maybe a decade. I don't

380
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: know how time works anymore because I'm old, but uh,

381
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: it was this feel good French movie. I saw it

382
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: wasn't great, and then I realized that I had confused

383
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: French with like critically acclaimed because the first movie wasn't

384
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: like critically well reviewed. It was just like a feel

385
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: good movie that did really well at the French box office.

386
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised that this movie did really well

387
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: and it got a Cinema score. It's just like an

388
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: audience pleasing movie that critics don't vibe with. Well, yeah,

389
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think with all the news and ship

390
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: in the state of the world, like people need these

391
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: kind of soothing films of like, yeah, and they like

392
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: each other. Right. The paraplegic dude as a billionaire, so

393
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: there's like wish fulfillment stuff and he they go on

394
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: all sorts of fun adventures together. There is a scene

395
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: in which Kevin Hart's characteristic, his comedic sensibility of homophobia

396
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: comes through where he's unwilling to even look at a

397
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: catheter and or he can't even say the word penis

398
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: because he's like supposed to have which just the worst

399
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: nurse ever, but medical profession. He's not helping the client

400
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: with catheter or anything. In Another way that this movie

401
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: ties into the news of the past couple of years

402
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: is that this was a Weinstein Company joint that was

403
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: bought up at auction after the Weinstein Company basically dissolved,

404
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: and it was going to be more of a challenging

405
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: R rated movie, and this company that bought it at

406
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: auction just cut it down to a PG thirteen focused

407
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: on the field goody vibes, and they were apparently smart

408
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: to do that from a business perspective. One thing that

409
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: I we missed last week that I just wanted to

410
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: raise is that at number five on the box office charts,

411
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: uh and last week did a surprisingly well was Escape Room,

412
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: a horror movie about escape rooms. What which is like

413
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: they were in an escape Room that like the consequences

414
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: were real, you will get murder. I'm assuming it's like

415
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: jig Saw Ship, right, like the Saw movies, which I

416
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: don't know, are you guys escape room? I did an

417
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: escape room in like Koreatown, and it was so it

418
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: was so boring. I can't imagine that this was. Yeah,

419
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: I guess if it stakes are real. Yeah, well, let's

420
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: the synopsis. Six adventurous strangers traveled to a mysterious building

421
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: to experience the Escape Room, a game where players compete

422
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: to solve a series of puzzles to win ten thousand

423
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: dollars just for ten resk. Anyway, what starts out is

424
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: it seemingly innocent fun soon turns into a living nightmare

425
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: as the four men and two women Good Ratio discover

426
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: each room in is an elaborate trap that's part of

427
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: a sadistic game of life game. Okay, so it's like

428
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: and I was actually an episode of Castle, the TV

429
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: show that is this exact plot. I think that's what

430
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: it was. It was like one of those real high

431
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Yeah it I watched well hungover. I would play escape rooms.

432
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I just have not had the opportunity. All my friends

433
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: have been playing but whenever they go, I'm like out

434
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,239
Speaker 1: of town or doing something else. And I was like,

435
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: you would love the escape, right because I like puzzles.

436
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: You're a puzzlehead. I'm a puzzle fucking creep. Okay, I've

437
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: been kicked out a puzzle zoo so many times because

438
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm just so perplexing and puzzling. Um So I mean it, Yeah,

439
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: it appeals to me, but I've not done one yet,

440
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: so I but I don't see why. Like, just as

441
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: a concept, I'm like, yeah, go in and flex your

442
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: brain a little bit and use clues, and they're they're

443
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: very hit or miss. I would say, there's sometimes when

444
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: they are intricately, you know, imagined from the perspective of

445
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: like it's almost like being in a saw a movie

446
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: written by somebody who's not a Hollywood caliber screenwriter, right,

447
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: And so they make assumptions about what how your mind

448
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: is gonna work with the game that aren't very like smart.

449
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: Like I had one experience with her Majesty actually back

450
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: when we work together where we like the people kept

451
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: having to come on and be like Nope, no, you're

452
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna wanna think about it this way, like this other

453
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: completely different way, and like basically had to hold our

454
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: hand through it, and then we're like, wow, you guys

455
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: do wow, thanks for helping us the whole time. Certain

456
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: you're going to break that if you're on it, I

457
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: don't know. Clusive Yeah, I think part of the experience

458
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: too is like the performance of it, And so if

459
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: the people that are putting on the escape room aren't

460
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: very good, it's not very good. Yeah. We had some

461
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: I've done two and none of them had actors. Oh

462
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: oh you were just locked in a room and get

463
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: out with like different clues. Yeah, well you don't like, Hi,

478
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I don't know if we mentioned that

479
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: this weekend. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.

480
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back and Miles, I

481
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you noticed, but the top headline on

482
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: Drudge yesterday morning was trump popularity at year low, um

483
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: which that is not good for him because that you know,

484
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: the ship has hit the fan. But now it appears

485
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: to be slowly leaking into the megabubble, Like you know,

486
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: I composively checked Drudge to see like what the right

487
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: is thinking, and it's usually like a crazy news story

488
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: will be going on in the mainstream media, and then

489
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: on Drudge it will be like Trump's popularity pops to

490
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: fifty because they only consult this one news poll resumus in.

491
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: But now it seems like, I don't know, he's even

492
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: even his little megabubble is kind of uh, deflating, is

493
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: it though? I think it is? What's wait? So what

494
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: is you pulling at? So? According to five thirty eight,

495
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: it's the lowest since September. Soive thirty eight does a

496
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: weighted average of all the polls, that's Nate Silver's website,

497
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: And this isn't the lowest his approval has been all year.

498
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: He was at h He's at forty point seven approval

499
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: fifty four percent disapproval, so underwater. Uh. And he was

500
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: at thirty nine point nine approval fifty four disapproval, so

501
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: fourteen percent underwater. So he's pretty close to being at

502
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: a year long low. But I think the bad news

503
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: for Trump is that so the last time he was

504
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: at this level was after there was just this steady

505
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: drumbeat of Muller Report news that just kept coming out

506
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: and Cohen coming out. Yeah, man of for it, just

507
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: all that ship where it was people are. That seems

508
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: to affect his overall how how people are feeling about

509
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: his presidency. Uh. And this is seems more related to

510
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: the shutdown because we haven't we hadn't had too much

511
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: Muller news until the end of last week. And you know,

512
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: this is still probably too early for the polls to

513
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: reflect the fact that the FBI thinks he might be

514
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: a Russian agent. Yeah, yeah, they're a Russian asset. I'm sorry, Um,

515
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: isn't support for the wall though among his base or

516
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: it's growing? Isn't that one of those statistics that came

517
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: out this weekend too, that it's like strengthened among his

518
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: base or yeah, in the Republican base like there and

519
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: even yeah, they're like more for the wall than they've

520
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: ever been because of the shutdown. Right, Well, it could

521
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: be claimed because the majority still does not support it,

522
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: or at least of Americans, but yeah, I think well

523
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: because as this just becomes more of like a little

524
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: a battle in the culture war, one of those things

525
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: where like they don't want to blink because they pulled

526
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: up with that energy the election announced. I think also

527
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: to like Trump is starting to see like their their

528
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: limits to his power now. Like he before he could

529
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: kind of get things moving in one direction or another,

530
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: but it's clear like right now he's he's tapped most

531
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: of his political capital, uh to even try and get

532
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: this done. I think now we're book like at least

533
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: in the center or trying to figure out like, Okay,

534
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: is Mitch McConnell actually gonna do something or he's just

535
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna let this thing keep going into free fall. But hey,

536
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's the that's the play they want to

537
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: run with. They didn't learn from the mid terms when

538
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: they ran on ay immigrants, bad message and got just

539
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: the ship kicked out of him in the house. In

540
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: the house, but I said that it might have shored

541
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: up a little bit. But I think even then right

542
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: because they were they were a massive districts swung the

543
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: complete other way into the blue column in the House.

544
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: But I think they just used like picking up two

545
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: Senate seats and defending against Bedo or Rourke and a

546
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: few other things to be like they took that to

547
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: be like, no, we're actually doing well. Um. But you know, well,

548
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: well we'll see how long they keep doing this, because

549
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: what this is now, it's fourth week going into the

550
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: fourth week, longest ever. Yeah, yeah, um. And he said

551
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: at the outset that he was willing to own it,

552
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: so yeah, I I'd imagine that within his base, you know,

553
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: there was probably a portion of people who because he

554
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: hadn't like brought it to the forefront, like he would

555
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: mention it and rallies here and there. But for the

556
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: most part, he was willing to just back burner it

557
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: because I think people in his administration, and even he

558
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of knew it was more of a rhetorical device

559
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: during the election, and then now he has brought it

560
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: to the forefront and made it a huge policy issue.

561
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, Miles, like you said, anytime it becomes part

562
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: of the culture war, that his his base is going

563
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: to rally behind him. But overall there appears to be

564
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: a handful of people who are like, yeah, but you're

565
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: hurting real people, and there's there's just something unmistakably incompetent

566
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: about somebody who can't keep the government open when they're

567
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: running the government, and the shutdown disproportionately affects the people

568
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: that support him most, the states that support him. Yea,

569
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: for sure. But let's talk about the revelations at the

570
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: end of last week that the FBI, after the firing

571
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: of James Comey, kind of reframed the investigation into, you know,

572
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: Russian intervention in the election and Trump's relationship with Russia.

573
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: Two at least incorporate the possibility that Trump maybe a

574
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: asset of the Russian government, so not an agent. He's

575
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: not like a secret agent who was brought up by

576
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: the KGB and trained to like it's not it's not

577
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: that movie ship it's just an asset, means that they

578
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: have something on him that allows them to manipulate his behavior. Yeah, exactly. Well, yeah,

579
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: when you look at it, like all the things that

580
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: Trump's done from a foreign policy aspect typically benefits Vladimir Putin. Uh,

581
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: from like changing like the platform of like the Republican

582
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: Party to like trying to like panic pull out as

583
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: Syria and all these other things. Uh. Yeah, it makes

584
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: it look like Okay, so I mean, we know, we've

585
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: accepted that Russia was fucking around during the election to

586
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: help him get elected, and then we see all these

587
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: people in his orbit were also interacting with Russians for

588
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: one reason or another, usually for the purpose of lifting

589
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: sanctions so they can get their money flown again. Uh.

590
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: And now, yeah, like when they fired James coming up,

591
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: you guys like, okay, let's check that this guy isn't

592
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: an actual like isn't somehow being manipulated controlled by Russia

593
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: in some way, right, And it seems like, I don't know,

594
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: this is not surprising based on you know, a number

595
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: of things. His performance at the Helsinki the stinky in Helsinki,

596
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: uh as nobody calls it, or the fact, just that

597
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: he's very reliable in terms of his ideas. The things

598
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: that come out of his mouth seemed to be ingested

599
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: via conservative media, either Fox and Friends or you know,

600
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: Rush or who whoever it is. But there's also these

601
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: pro Russia policies that come out that nobody can really

602
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: say where they're coming from. Like, yeah, it's just like

603
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: the thing in the word salad of Trump that doesn't

604
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: totally fit with the rest of the pattern. You mean,

605
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: like when he was like rewriting history about Afghanistan, Yes, exactly.

606
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: What was the other thing he was talking about Montenegro

607
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: to attack Russia, which was he said that right right

608
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: after And wasn't that right after he met with him

609
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: in Helsinki and Tucker Carlson, Yes, right, he claimed that.

610
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: So this is a we we talked about this at

611
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: the time. But Montenegro is a small country that Russia

612
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: is claiming is a threat to them so that they

613
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: can kind of, you know, ramp up militarism and be

614
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: prepared to invade other countries and you know, start their

615
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: slow role across the globe militarily. And the only other

616
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: person who's really supporting that idea besides Putin is putin

617
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: Allies and Trump. So the thing I've always heard from

618
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: people who aren't willing to buy into the Russian investigation is, oh, well,

619
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing in the world for America

620
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: to have a leader who is pro Russian in the

621
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: same way that like Obama was pro Cuba and we

622
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: didn't investigate him. But it just seems like there's a

623
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: difference there. There's no clear aim, there's no clear source

624
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: of the idea taking the transcripts, right, and that's too shady.

625
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: That is a good point. So can you explain a

626
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: little bit what that is. Well, it came out this weekend,

627
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: I think, right that from all five meetings he's had

628
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: since he's become president, with him or however many there are,

629
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: he's either like sworn the interpreter or secrecy or taking

630
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: this transcript or both. Yeah. It always takes the notes.

631
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: He always takes the notes from the and they're supposed

632
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: to be classified right to a certain extent and then

633
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: shared with the administration. Well, yeah, and past administrations there

634
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: would be people who would take the notes and then

635
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: you would release that so people know what the hell

636
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: is going on if nothing sensitive was being spoken about.

637
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: So you have an idea of like what the interaction

638
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: was about, but this one, there's there's no record of

639
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: what was said, who was talking for how long or anything? Yeah,

640
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: and like you said, pressing the interpret and be like,

641
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't tell anybody what you heard. Yeah, no ship

642
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: And that's what And what's wild though, two, is that

643
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: it's being hidden from his staff at the highest levels.

644
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: But even the closest aids have no fucking idea what happened,

645
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: Like subpoena that like she should testify. Yeah, that's what

646
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: they're the stinky and let the interpreter pull up and

647
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: be like, what did What the funk were they talking about? Yes,

648
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: and they're just sweating, like yeah. And there's also the

649
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: fact that he and people like Kushner have consistently lied about,

650
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, having back channels with Russia and any communication

651
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: and meeting with Russia. Yeah. Well, you know, he's the

652
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: president of the United States and he always has our interests. Hey,

653
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: but he's he's willing to face questioning about this because

654
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: he went on noted Trump adversary Judge Janine pierro So

655
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: Judge Janine's uh circus. I think the show is called

656
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: on Fox she asked him straight up if he'd ever

657
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: worked You know, it's bad when she's asking him a

658
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: hard hitting question, but she was just like, you know,

659
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: have you ever worked for Russia? And let's just listen

660
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: to his answer, because it was it was a lot.

661
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask you, are you now or have

662
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: you ever worked for Russia? Mr? President. I think it's

663
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: the most insulting thing I've ever been asked. I think

664
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: it's the most insulting article I've ever had written. Uh

665
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: And if you read the article, you'd see that they

666
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: found absolutely nothing but the headline of that article. It's

667
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: called the failing New York Times for a reason. They've

668
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: gotten me wrong for three years. They've actually gotten me

669
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: wrong for many years before that. But you look at

670
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: what's going on. You know, I fired James Coney. I

671
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: call him Lion James Comy because he was a terrible

672
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: and he did a terrible job as the FBI director.

673
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: Look at what happened with Hillary Clinton in the East

674
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton investigation one of the biggest UH screw ups

675
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: that anybody's ever seen as an investigation. And what happened

676
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: after I fired him? Andrew McKay, Peter struck his lover

677
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: Lisa Page did it. And you know, they're all gone.

678
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: Most of those people, many many people from the top

679
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: ranks of the FBI. They've all been fired or they

680
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: had to leave, and they're all gone. This is what

681
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: they were talking about. And obviously nothing was found. And

682
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: I can tell you this if you ask than anybody else,

683
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: any other probably any other president period, but simply the

684
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: last three or four presidents, modern day presidents, nobody has

685
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: been as tough as I have from any standpoint, including

686
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: the fact that I've never done it. We're setting records

687
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: in our country with oil and exporting oil and many

688
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: other things. Yeah. Well, look, so that was not convincing

689
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: at all because it was a yes or no question,

690
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: and he went on to meandertown. Now fairness to him.

691
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: On Monday, he was asked again outside the White House

692
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, never, I don't think. My

693
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: suspicion was, oh, well, he's not willing to lie about that.

694
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: I just think there's like an unconscious thing where he's

695
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: like talking away from the lie and just saying nothing

696
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: was found. He's just unintentionally betraying himself by continuously referring

697
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: to it. As like nothing being found as opposed to

698
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: the reality of the situation. So the The New York

699
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: Times is not an investigative body. They're not a law

700
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: enforcement thing. So they're reporting on what was going on.

701
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: It's not that they found anything there for innocent, you know.

702
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: But I just like how it's says easy question. Go

703
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, let me start just rattling off some

704
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: greatest hits real quick. Yeah, I'm the toughest on Russia

705
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: lion James Coney. I mean, comey, he sounds yeah, yeah,

706
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely. I'm surprised he didn't try and

707
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: redefine what worked meant, Like, what what do you mean work? Like,

708
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: I've never worked for RUSSI have they have a check?

709
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: This is from the Russian Federation? No, have a hooked

710
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin up with some work? Right? Yeah, So I

711
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: don't like the premise of the question. But yeah, we'll see,

712
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: I think. But that's the thing, you know, like just

713
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 1: like how he said there's no collusion or I didn't

714
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: know anything about that, you know, Like he'll say stuff

715
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: like that and then walk it back and he's like, well,

716
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: I still meant that. I was just answering that question directly,

717
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: how you framed it to me or opposed it. Didn't

718
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: say we'd pay for the wall. I said that they

719
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: would pay with with tax trade deficit being balanced out,

720
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: which doesn't anyway, Yeah, we're we're going to pay for it. Yeah.

721
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: Uh So it's it's interesting, it's an interesting time to

722
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: just keep an eye on the president. And uh, I

723
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: think even how he's being covered because I don't know

724
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: the media. I think the media has just been overwhelmed

725
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: by this presidency and there's just too much for them

726
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: to keep up with. And so this is all of

727
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: the information that we're now taking a second look at

728
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: our things that when they broke we were like, oh, ship,

729
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: he must be a Russian asset because of like how

730
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: he was behaving in Helsinki. But it's just it gets,

731
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: you know, snowed under by all the other madness and yeah, yeah,

732
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: well it's one of those yeah, like you said, or

733
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: it's just there's so many connections to Russia at every level.

734
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: You know that even if you know he could very

735
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: well be an unwitting asset what I mean, where he

736
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: very well might not have some kind of real sort

737
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: of properly articulated agreement with Russia or Vladimir Putin, just

738
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: certain things based on like the environment around him, like

739
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: lead him to certain outcomes. Yeah, the New York magazine

740
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: was speculating that it could be sexual or financial blackmail.

741
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: And if it's sexual, it probably won't be found out

742
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: because that sort of thing is kept very close to

743
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: the best by the people doing the blackmailing. But if

744
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: it's financial, he's fucked. So this may be for the

745
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: first time time for the resistance to start hoping there

746
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: is no pe tape, because because that would make it

747
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: harder for something to show up in the Mueller report.

748
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: I think the only thing that will ever show up

749
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: about the P tape other than the P tape leaking

750
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: is you know what what we saw on that hey,

751
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: is what we saw on the steel Who knows he

752
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: might he might have that ship, you know what I mean,

753
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: on a little USB drive and he's like, I have

754
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: the tape to coming to a barbershop near you, don't.

755
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: We already know though enough now publicly. But it's like

756
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: if Mueller has any more stuff, I mean, that's it.

757
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: It all looks so so so bad, right, But it's

758
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: all political and it's all about how it's being covered

759
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: by the mainstream media, and I think they are overwhelmed.

760
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: They're doing their best. I just don't know if they're

761
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: up for it to convincingly give us reality checks on

762
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: just how crazy a lot of this ship is. Yeah.

763
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: What's sad though, too, is like regard like you know,

764
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people are there's mumblings that maybe the

765
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: Mola report doesn't really it might be a real anticlimactic

766
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: report or whatever. And you know, we've always said we

767
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: never expected the Mother Report to be like there, it is,

768
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: game over, continue, enter two cents or whatever, you know, Like,

769
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think, who knows what it's going to be.

770
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, there's not the

771
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: political will from the Republicans to hold him accountable because

772
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: there were plenty of things outside of the Russia ship

773
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: that you would have been like, dude, this guy is

774
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: a wholly unfit to lead the country, regardless of whatever Russia.

775
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: The Russia aspect of it is. Just the decisions he's

776
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: making with the treatment of people or like the national

777
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: security apparatus. It's like there's so much ship, but it's just,

778
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: you know, Republicans don't want to turn on him yet. Yeah,

779
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: and it's not just the mainstream media's fault because he

780
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: has done some pretty sophisticated things in the creation of

781
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: the idea of fake news and stuff. But you know,

782
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: it's all ship that dictators have done before, and it's

783
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: like straight out of the Soviet dictator playbook. So yeah,

784
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: well we'll just keep paying attention. Uh, stay tuned, exite gang. Yeah,

785
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: stay tuned. We'll have the answers or not, who knows.

786
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take another quick break. We will

787
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back. And the teachers of

788
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: the l A u s D are on straight over

789
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: thousand teachers and I don't know what can you give

790
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: us the update on this? Smiles. Look, teachers all cross

791
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: the country. For the last forever, like ever, since we've

792
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: systematically just been defunding education countries nationwide, I have been

793
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: asking for the same thing. Based we need dignifiable wages.

794
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: We can't be coming out of pocket for school supplies

795
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: and ship like that. And it's just it's very simple, right, So,

796
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: specifically in the case of the l A Unified School District,

797
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: which is the second largest in the nation. Uh, the

798
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: teachers want a six and a half percent raise. They

799
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: want smaller classrooms so they can teach better, more effectively.

800
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to teach a classroom with over thirty students

801
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: and in some cases forty to fifty students to give

802
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: them that sort of individual care nurturing to actually make

803
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: sure they are learning. They're also asking for more support staff,

804
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: like in the form of nurses, librarians. Uh. They want

805
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: to yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know,

806
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: what's the next champagne breakfasts nurses like and for nurses uh,

807
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: and librarians, but specifically nurses. Like some schools only have

808
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: a nurse working there one day a week Jesus Christ,

809
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: and then the other four the kids they just have

810
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: to put a band aid on their broken ankle or whatever,

811
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, keep it moving. And then there's like,

812
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: you know, there's an issue of overtesting the students there.

813
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: They want like a five hundred dollar stipend for supplies

814
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: so we're no longer having like people overhearing a teachers

815
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: struggle on airplane, but like, hey, we got everyone on

816
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: the flight to pitch in t so you can buy

817
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: construction papers. Such a good feel good capitalism. How uh.

818
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: And they also want to make sure that charter schools

819
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: are being held accountable because you know, the proliferation of

820
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: charter schools has just become a huge resource train on

821
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: the district. Like six hundred million dollars annually is being

822
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: diverted to charter schools, which are basically private schools being

823
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: run with public money. How does that happen? So it's

824
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: like in the city's budget that six million is diverted

825
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: to charter schools rather than to the public schools. Because

826
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: there's some like, you know, there's the people always say like, oh,

827
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: it's actually better or even to the quality of education

828
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: that a regular public school gets, and most research says

829
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: that it's at best it's even or worse in terms

830
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: of like the actual education kids get. There are charter

831
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: schools that are that do work. Um. But there's this

832
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: also another dimension to this whole idea of charter schools too,

833
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: because the superintendent in l A is basically he is

834
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: an investment banker with no background in administration of like

835
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: education or anything. Uh. And like a lot of the

836
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: people believe that the school board voted him to be

837
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: superintendent because they want to privatize a lot of the

838
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: school district here. And when you look at this sort

839
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: of like the relationship of investment banking to charter schools,

840
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: it's wild okay. Like investment bankers they're slowly looking at

841
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: charter schools and being like, Yo, that's a wave. That's

842
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: someone to get your money into, because it's money, okay.

843
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: And there was an interview a few years ago where

844
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: this investment banker was on CNBC and they asked like, hey, like,

845
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: so what's going on, Like we see that a lot

846
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: of people are introducing like charter schools into their portfolios.

847
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: And the quote from this guy was, well, I think

848
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: it's a very stable business, very recession resistant. It's a

849
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: very high demand product product. There's four thousand kids on

850
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: waiting list for charter schools. And he's talking about Pennsylvania

851
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: in this In this case, the industry is growing about

852
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: twelve to fourteen percent a year. So it's high growth,

853
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: very stable, procession resistant business. It's a public payer. The

854
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: state is the payer. If you do business with states

855
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: with solid treasuries, then it's a very solid business. So

856
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: this whole emphasis isn't even on education anymore. And now

857
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: like you're we're starting to see this like portfolio model

858
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: move into the school district, which is what a lot

859
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: of the people in the teacher's union like, that's what

860
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: this superintendent is trying to do with l a U

861
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: s D. And it's at the detriment to the kids. So,

862
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, the I think the strike was a long

863
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: time coming, like talks have been breaking down since the

864
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: summer and into December UM. But again when you look

865
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 1: at like people like Betsy Divas, who are the kinds

866
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: of people who are like, I don't really know anything

867
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: about education. I know about making money off education, though

868
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: that's what the system is sort of moving towards, and

869
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: that's what they're pushing back against. And you know, if

870
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: you know anyone who's a teacher or like most people

871
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: we've all been to school, you know how important a

872
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: teacher is in the time that a teacher puts in

873
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: can really make or break your educational experience, can make

874
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: you grow as a human being. And I can't emphasize

875
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: enough how important it is that like we're properly investing

876
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: in this in our education and not just like we

877
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: have shipped like this going on where people at the

878
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: highest you know, income brackets are like how do we

879
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: work around with education? Yeah? How do we make money

880
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: off of it? Not? It's not like how are these

881
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: children being you know, educated the best? That's how how

882
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: do we make money? Yeah? And a lot of these

883
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: schools their cash cows, so it makes sense for people

884
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: to invest in that, and that just begins more lobbying

885
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: money that goes into elections to try and get candidates

886
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: who support charter school ideas and regulations and things like that.

887
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: And so it's, uh, it's a very big issue. And

888
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: I think it's not just in California where you know

889
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: or an l A U. S D that's dealing with it. Yeah.

890
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: And what they're talking about, what that investment bankers talking about,

891
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: is basically taking taxpayer money and just getting it like

892
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:02,479
Speaker 1: that going into private hands exactly, so that very little

893
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: accountability supposed supposed uh Mark like people who believe in

894
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: the market, like investment bankers in the banking industry like that.

895
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: That just doesn't feel like the model that they've sold us,

896
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: where like one one like group of bureaucrats decide to

897
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: like send six hundred million dollars to various charter schools

898
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: so that like I, bankers can get rich yea, that

899
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like the whole system. Yeah, And when you

900
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: look at to what the teachers are asking for, they're

901
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: like it's really clear, you know, like we just need

902
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: we need to be paid more for our time, like

903
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: we are raising the children of this city essentially. And

904
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 1: the school board pushes back, or the school district pushes

905
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: back into like, well, we're already running like a half

906
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: billion dollar deficit. We've got people's pensions to pay and

907
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: retirement plans and all these other things we have to pay.

908
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: But the union contest that the school district is sitting

909
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: on about like a surplus of like one point eight

910
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: billion dollars or something, so like the money's there. Uh,

911
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: And you're using really lame rhetoric and arguments against this,

912
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: like you know, the superintendents like, oh, they're going to

913
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: bankrupt this school district if they want it, you know,

914
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: which is the thing they always say when people want

915
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: a living wage. Oh well then I mean I don't

916
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: know how long we can stay in business. No, it

917
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: changes your profit margins. But in this case, I think

918
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do when you know

919
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: so much money is going to charter schools and things

920
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: like that. There is a way to solve this, and

921
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: this is the first time there's been a full on

922
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: l A U. S D strike since. In regards to

923
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: the surplus, it's not as simple as like there's just

924
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: an account with one point two or one point eight

925
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: billion dollars in it. But I heard the superintendent has

926
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: a vault full of gold coins that he swims and

927
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: spits them out like water, And just like have you

928
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: ever tried just side note, when ducktails came out. I

929
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: remember my grandfather had a bucket of change that you

930
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: should put all his loose change into, and I remember

931
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: trying to put like mash my hand through the fo

932
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: broke my wrist. Did you really break it? Almost? I

933
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: cried like I did. But anyway, back to the story,

934
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: Gavin knew some of the new governor of California did

935
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: have unveiled a new budget with like a huge amount

936
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: I think like one point eight billion dollars going into

937
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: like early education. But a lot of people are like, yeah,

938
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: that's definitely a good a good amount, but it is

939
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 1: not enough concerning what the needs are of the state.

940
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: So as of now, I'm not quite sure where the

941
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: governor is going to come into you know, make things

942
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: better or not. But you know, as it stands, the

943
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: teachers are on strike. They got a lot of substitutes

944
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: in the school right now to take over the teaching.

945
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, man invest in

946
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: these teachers because they man, I remember the good teachers

947
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: they help they help man and they they to put

948
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: your time into teaching kids is so important and you

949
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: don't want somebody phoning it in like they work at

950
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: some escape room. They don't get paid enough for My

951
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: parents are both teachers. They take it really seriously. Yeah,

952
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I hope you're like, and they are so

953
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: lax about remember the students names. I mean, people get

954
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: teachers get a bad rap, but they're like passionate about

955
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: it's who gives teachers about what do you mean they're

956
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: just not that well respected? Oh, I mean, I think

957
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: from a bureaucratic standpoint, I mean, I think I guess

958
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: for anyone you'd hope, right, I guess most people hear

959
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people say like they're paid too much

960
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: or whatever, not necessarily paid too much, but just like

961
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: that they're not quality, right, those who can't teach, and ye,

962
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: that's a stake. Well, sure, and there are shitty teachers

963
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: for sure, but I think everything, Yeah, but there's a

964
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of people who work in places for like a

965
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: fucking fraction of what they deserve in terms of like

966
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: their effect on the incoming generations. Anyway, I love teachers.

967
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: Shout out to teachers, even though you make me use

968
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: that fucking weird corrective triangle on my pencil because you're

969
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: holding your pencil all wrong. I'm like, is my penmanship okay?

970
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,479
Speaker 1: Then who gives a fun stop policing my my pencil form.

971
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: I look like I have crippling ar thread us every

972
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: time I write because of my shitty handwriting because I

973
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: always took that triangle off. So oh I took it off.

974
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: I'm a warning yo. I used to get in trouble

975
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: because I was slided up to the top part of

976
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: the pencil, and then the tea should be like, um,

977
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: you have to put your thing back on, and I'm like, look,

978
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold it like wolverine, Like is clawing a pencil.

979
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: I had a terrible way of holding a pencil back

980
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: in the day. Well, I'm lefty, so I have to

981
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: like curl my hand all the way around. Plus terrible grip. Yeah,

982
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: real weird. Alright, let's talk about the big news story

983
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: of this past weekend. Kylie Jenner has been dethroned as

984
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: the most liked picture on Instagram by a photo of

985
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: an egg. Yeah, just a little old egg, a little

986
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: old egg. The account is called world Record Egg and

987
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: the ship is verified. Okay, uh, and it's just people like, hey,

988
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: and the thing it just said, let's it's a It's

989
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: just a photo of an egg, like a stock photo

990
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: against a white background, low brown eggs, and the caption

991
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: underneath it is, let's set a world record together and

992
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 1: get the most liked post on Instagram, beating the current

993
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: world record held by Kylie Jenner eighteen million. We got this. Uh.

994
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: As of right now, it has over thirty three million.

995
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: Like those are just votes against Kylie j right right.

996
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: That's and that's what I was thinking. I was like,

997
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: this is so odd, Like what how the fund did

998
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: this groundswell of support come out? The Democrats need to

999
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 1: hire this person immediately. Oh yeah, they say. The person

1000
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: is called Henrietta and it's a chicken. I feel like

1001
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: someone it tried to interview the account owner and they

1002
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: were being very coy and they're like, Hi, my name

1003
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: is Henrietta, and this egg is called like Hubert or something.

1004
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: The egg had a name too, but you know, like

1005
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: they say their egg gang if you believe in that.

1006
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: But that that makes me wonder like, is it about

1007
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: people who are just really captivated by the egg or

1008
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: are there just thirty three million people willing to put

1009
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: their likes against Kylie Jenner. Yeah, that's what it seems like.

1010
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that's a beautiful egg. I mean

1011
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: it's a real close up of the egg. I don't know, man,

1012
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: it looks like it's got freckles. It's cute. I like it. No, yeah,

1013
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: it's clearly just a well framed Kylie j. People do

1014
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 1: this all the time on social media, like the Hey,

1015
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: if you like me this many times, I'll eat my

1016
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: shoe or whatever. But they won at that game. Let's

1017
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: set a world record together and get the most liked

1018
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: post on Instagram, beating the current world record holder held

Speaker 1: two million followers on that account. Yeah, good for the Egg.

1024
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: What all they do next? Everybody's wondering. Yeah, oh my god. Please,

1025
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: I hope the Egg doesn't get like a weird drug

1026
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: habit or something. I've just seen this too many times.

1027
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: I've seen it too many times. Yeah, the Egg is

1028
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: interviewed for the post. It's the only post. Yeah, that's it.

1029
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 1: That's a flex. It's pure and now like all these people,

1030
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: there's so many memes around it now. Uh, all right, Well,

1031
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: I love how the Egg is looking for more business

1032
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: opportunities with the email and yeah, yeah exactly in the

1033
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: bio contact World record Egg manager at you. Yeah, no,

1034
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: the the Egg is repped by U T A. I think. Yeah,

1035
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: shout out to them, I mean, yeah, when they when

1036
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: the biopic comes out, it's it's going to be late.

1037
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: I just wanted to shout out to Vanity Fair for

1038
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: putting me back on my original conclusion in with their

1039
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: report on the Havannah attacks on the embassy attacks. Yeah,

1040
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: the quote unquote attacks. There was the uh scientific study

1041
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: that came out of last week about how the noise

1042
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: that they had recorded was almost definitely a cricket and

1043
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: it was just a type of cricket that exists in

1044
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: the tropics, and therefore, I mean, but yeah, so they

1045
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: were hearing it for the first time and they were like,

1046
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: that must be a weapon, even though it's just a bug.

1047
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: But what about the ship they were experiencing. That's just

1048
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: some psychosomatic ship. But remember because then there was a

1049
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: study that some people have legit damage. So that's my question.

1050
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: That's the main thing that I want to figure out,

1051
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: and if anybody has an answer to this, zeit gang.

1052
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: So there is also a New Yorker article. So the

1053
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: Vanity Fair article basically goes through my original conclusion in

1054
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: detail and explains, you know, psychosomatic is not like it

1055
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: has this reputation as being somebody who's like, you know,

1056
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: secretly knows that they're wrong and are like pretending, And

1057
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: it's not that it is that you're It's called conversion syndrome,

1058
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: and your stress is being converted into physical symptoms. You

1059
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: are experiencing physical symptoms. It's coming from stress as opposed

1060
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: to a biological cause. And they also talk about how

1061
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: the event happened, how it was first experienced by one

1062
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: guy who heard the noise but didn't experience any of

1063
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: the symptoms. Then he heard about someone who experienced the

1064
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: symptoms and that person associated their symptoms with a high

1065
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: pitched noise and they were like, well, I heard a

1066
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: high pitch noise and so it's like snowballed from there.

1067
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,439
Speaker 1: And they do a good job just kind of using

1068
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: the pro publica study that I talked about last year

1069
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: that is pretty convincing and does it does a good

1070
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: job of just kind of giving you a moment by

1071
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: moment breakdown of how the thing all happened. But the

1072
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: thing I want to help with is the New Yorker

1073
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: also has this report where they basically just dismissed the

1074
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: idea of it being conversion disorder in like a paragraph.

1075
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: They're just like, this isn't a conversion disorder because they

1076
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: interviewed doctors who looked at these people's brains and said

1077
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: their physical symptoms and it is definitely real. So, uh

1078
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: those are just two journalistic institutions that I trust, The

1079
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: New Yorker and me, Uh so what what no I

1080
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: I but I do need somebody to kind of explain

1081
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: or has the New Yorker come out and like talked

1082
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: about this. I wasn't able to find it on a

1083
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: initial Google search, But have they come up with any

1084
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: further reporting on it or are they just like no,

1085
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: that's what the doctor told us. I am confused. It's

1086
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of like, you know, checking reports

1087
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: against one another to see like if there's a way

1088
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: both could be true, So maybe I'll do that. But

1089
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: a detail that this article came out with that I'm

1090
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: a total sucker for was just that it is basically

1091
01:00:55,080 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: zeitgeist based, where each generation has their own way that uh,

1092
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: conversion disorder presents. So back in the eighteenth century it

1093
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: was like witchcraft or spiritual possession, because that made a

1094
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: lot of sense at the time. After World War One

1095
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: and the Germans Mustard gas attack, people started having conversion

1096
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: disorder where that we're triggered by smells, and now increasingly

1097
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: people all over the world are being sickened by persistent

1098
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: humming sounds, and so it's like they basically tie it

1099
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: to this overall trend of because we have all this

1100
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: sound pollution and you know, are constantly hearing unpleasant sounds

1101
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: and it is sort of the one sensory input that

1102
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: you can't block out, like unless you have dope. Noise

1103
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: canceling headphones. But it's the one that I can get

1104
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: to you anyway. It can invade your home without you,

1105
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: so like there's this inherent anxiety to it. And they're

1106
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: saying that this is part of a wider trend of

1107
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: noise based conversion disorder. Were noise triggered conversion disorder? And

1108
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: then for us, for millennials, we have the Laurel Yanni

1109
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: type ship to sular thing with the sounds are overwhelming

1110
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: us and you know what's going on, Yeah, just completely

1111
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: sonic snowflake generation. Yes, there you go, sonic burnt out snowflakes. Uh, Courtney,
