Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: last stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: joined in our third seat by the very talented actress, writer, podcaster,

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: educator Karama Don't Quo. Thank you, thank you, thank you

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: for having me. Uh, Mr apple Jack and Miles. I

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: do have a question about that apple story though. Was

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: it a red apple or a green apple? Because apple? Oh,

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: that's the worst one. I feel like that's worse. I'd

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: rather have a green apple landed my cereal milk than

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: a red apple. Hold on, that's very specific. Why is that?

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'm just I'm just like, no,

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: not my huh. And now I'm sort of like, damn,

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: am I not thinking critically enough about some of the

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: things he's saying? Thinking too critically about that story? It

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: feels like a Tim Robinson sketch. I didn't focus on

19
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: the like limb aspect of it. I'm like, what color

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: was the apple? Yeah? Like I just had it right,

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: here like next to my ahead, and then it just

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: went like that, just fluid. So it wasn't I thought

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: you wound up, you launched it. Oh so was he

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: just across the table from you? Yeah, he was just

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: he was like down the table a few people man

26
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: salt bass situation, but like with any it was a

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: it was a spastic salt bas situation. Or like you

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: were one of those card magicians and you're throwing the cart. Yeah,

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: exactly right, right right, Okay, now you see me and

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I've ruined your cereal milk with this half bitten apple. Karama,

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: What is good? What's new with you? What's good? What's new?

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm about to move back to the eight one eight

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: what what? Yeah? Next week I'm moving to Van Eyes.

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Excited about that. And then I just wrapped on season

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: one of I Carly, where I was working in the

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: writer's room. The reboot our revival, I think is the

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: technical term, but you know, people just be thrown out,

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: rewords all over the place. And I have an episode

39
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: that I got to write and it comes out in

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. So that's what's new. Amazing, so dope,

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: intersecting with so much I Carly talent recently and eventually

42
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: we'll get Lacy back on here, but I'm never go

43
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: over the weekend Ramsey. Oh yeah, very lovely person. And

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: I was just like, man, so it seems like the

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: best show to be working on. Yeah, No, I love Lacey,

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: love Francesca got. I was like a huge Francesca stand

47
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: before the show, and like when I got the list

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: of people who remember those videos, I like had a

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: heart attack and I texted all my friends that was like,

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: my Rancy is gonna be working in the room, and

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: I like had to be normal for six months working

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: how do you do as? Not great? Great? A print

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: out you wanted to sign from? Hi? Was my first day.

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: Blessedly we were working remote right right right, So I

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: did not I would have. I would have like, Hi,

56
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: this is a video that you did like six years ago.

57
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Will you sign crin Summon? No? I mean just generally,

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I didn't do a great job being normal, not just

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: Francesco wise. The first day of work, we were introducing

60
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: ourselves and like I said that I thought that Emotion

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: by Carly ray Jepson was one of the best albums

62
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: of all time, and I thought it was criminally underrated,

63
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is not a normal way

64
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: to introduce yourself. Just say your name and stop talking. Right.

65
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: You just came with a hot take right out of

66
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: the gate. I will will. Somebody asked me, what has

67
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Carly ray Jepson been up to since? Called me maybe,

68
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: which was a mistake on their parts of very early

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: on in this show. And the CRJ goons came for me.

70
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: But shout out to you all because you did convert me,

71
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: because so many people were like, put that out of

72
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: your mind, what you think you may know, and just

73
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: put this album on and listen to it. And I'm like,

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: this ship is just really good. This is really good music.

75
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: It's really good. It's really really good. I have a

76
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: for my birthday. For my thirtieth birthday, the room got

77
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: me a Carl Ray Jepson quilt and it's the most

78
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I carry it around

79
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: with me when I travel places, like I'm Linus from

80
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: the Nuts. Don't tell anybody that, oh my god, you know,

81
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: because you're just letting them know. So many of those

82
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: hooks I were like, really really really thank you, like

83
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: you can. They're easy to sing and like, right, away

84
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: with me. There's so many your worms in that album.

85
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, you know what? And you know,

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe boys, the Day I Got l A Hallucinations is

87
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: my song. I oh my gosh, yes, just that albums,

88
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: that whole album is good. I'm so glad I found

89
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: my people. I mean, I'm just I'm c RJ curious,

90
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, opening my I'm expanding my horizons.

91
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: And I realized, why did I have that all? Why

92
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: did I have the wrong ideas about this? I think

93
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: so many fandoms are really toxic and that they think

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: if you haven't been there since day one, you don't

95
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: you don't have as much legitimacy as people who have

96
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: been there since day one. And I don't think that

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: that's true. I think that if you are gathering enjoyment

98
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: from whatever the fandom is, even if it is your

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: first day, when it's somebody else's ten thousand day, then

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: good for you, and you know to be like, I

101
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: know every song, I know every book. I know that

102
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: she was third place on Canadian Idol. I know that

103
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: she started Frenchy in Greece Live. I know that she

104
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: played Dorothy in the Whiz in high school, which is

105
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: I have feelings about that in the WHIZZI well, let's

106
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: let's because we want to have the positive lives. And

107
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, high school is as a strange time, but yeah,

108
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: for sure, gatekeeping is just so exhausting because like I've

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: I myself have been like that, like when I was

110
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: in college and stuff, and you know, one college in

111
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: the odds like that was peak, like check on my

112
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: fucking DVDs, check on my albums that I have, and

113
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: you're you're coming at people from like, oh you don't

114
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: know Porti's heads, dummy, what you took? And then I

115
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: realized that's just me because all I had for my

116
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: personality or my identity was to say I knew a

117
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: lot about this other ship rather than being more secure

118
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: in who I just was fundamentally as a human being

119
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: outside of my interest. And then you have to realize, oh, yeah, this,

120
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: let's just just welcome. Everybody, especially the newcomers, can experience

121
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: it and enjoy it in a way that you can't.

122
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: So let them. Let them have that. That's why actually

123
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: you want to be And again, shout out to all

124
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: the night young who are not not like being shitty

125
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: about my first early Carle Ray Jason takes, but we're

126
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: very much like, hey, I get it, but you should

127
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: really you really owe it yourself. You seem to like music,

128
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: you should listen to it. You'll enjoy it, and I did,

129
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: and even the subsequent albums. But I think, you know,

130
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: as it relates to when like bringing somebody in, there's

131
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: no better feeling. Actually, when you put somebody onto something

132
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: and you watch them light up being like this is

133
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: so good, You're like, yes, yeah, Well that's why those

134
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: two guys, those brothers on like YouTube, who do them

135
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: like listening to songs for the first time. I think

136
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: that that's why they're so popular because it's like we

137
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: love these songs. We get to watch them fall in

138
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: love with these songs. Like when they heard that drum

139
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: break on in the air tonight, they were like what yo,

140
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: what And I'm like, yeah, right exactly. But for us,

141
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: were all of our like you know, dopamine receptors have

142
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: burned out in terms of like the album, so it

143
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: happens you're like I just need this to live, but

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: I enjoy seeing others get life. Is something from your

145
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are. Oh from

146
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: the search history. All right, all right, I always act surprised,

147
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: even though I've been on the show many times, and

148
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: I act surprised. Something from my search history is I

149
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: was looking at this place called Club Provada. And now,

150
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: if you don't know what Club Provided is, I know

151
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: there are some people in the Oregon Sight Gang who

152
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: might know what this is, but it's a sex club

153
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: right now. I didn't think these things existed. I didn't

154
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 1: think sex clubs existed. I thought they were just things

155
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: of fantasy, things that you hear about on television. But

156
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: I decided to run up the old Google machine and

157
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: and plug it in and log it in and look

158
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: up Club Provided. And it's very much a thing. And

159
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: there are sex clubs in almost every city and state.

160
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you live in a boring ass place,

161
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: but if you live in a place that like has

162
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: a population that's a little bit bigger. There are sex

163
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: clubs and everywhere. I'm not saying I'm gonna go, but

164
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I am saying I'm intrigued now. So you know, it's

165
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: good information to have, you know, if if you, if

166
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: you and your significant other decide you want to spice

167
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: some ship up and you wanna you want to go

168
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: to a club, uh, for the certain spice that you're

169
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: looking for that is available to you. And if you

170
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: did not know, now you do because they are real.

171
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: They are real. I thought it was fake. What's the

172
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: sex club? Though? It's a place where you fuck, you like,

173
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: it's like a swinger's place. So like you, you go

174
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: and couples go and they had they make love. You

175
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: don't say the effort on the dailies like guys, Uh,

176
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: they make love and then and then they or and

177
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: then you could tap in and stuff, you know, obviously

178
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: to your comfort. No, no, it's no, yes, yes, everything

179
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: like that. But then, like you know, a lot of

180
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: places do single ladies and couples. No, man, sorry, man,

181
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: sorry if you're single. Man. But it's just a place

182
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: where you go to hook up have sex with your

183
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: partner and or other people as well. Yeah. Yeah, it's

184
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: basically the you see in movies that don't seem real,

185
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: but apparently it is real. You would think we would

186
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: know more about it. That used to just be the

187
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: Wendy's parking lot for me. But god, right, oh you

188
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: hooked up in the Windy's parking lot before too? Oh yeah,

189
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: yeah you know what you do is you you walk

190
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: outside with three uh what is it? The Frostyes, U

191
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: you spill three frosties on your feet outside. The wendis

192
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: what what? What? What color frosty? The vanilla or vanilla? Vanilla? Vanilla?

193
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: And if you're down for the swirld, you got both? Okay, okay,

194
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: let him know, like I'm open. See what I do

195
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: is I'll go get it. I'd be like, I go

196
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: in and give me your hottest meat. And so when

197
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: I bring it back to the car and the windows

198
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: fall up and somebody not gonna be like, it's the meat,

199
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: it's too hot, which is true, but they think I

200
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: mean something else, you know. So that's what the wind is,

201
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: parking lot. But it always ends with the same thing,

202
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: which is or this is a wendy. Yeah, that's exactly

203
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: what it ends with. And you know every time I

204
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: don't care, I be like, you're right. I saw on

205
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: TikTok that this clip of this woman who was like,

206
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I guess she was saying she was a swinger about

207
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: how like if you're in a supermarket and you have

208
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: your pineapple upside down in your cart, that's letting people

209
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: know that you're with it. But again, this is like TikTok.

210
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what it's so funny about TikTok.

211
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: It's like full of videos like this, be like this

212
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: is how this, you know, subculture gets down and I

213
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true. So swinger crew, let us

214
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: know this like an elementary a rumor. I would spread

215
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: an elementary Yeah you know, hey man, you hear it.

216
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: You hear you heard turning your pineapple upside down down

217
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: the phone. Every town has a park where like I

218
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: hear that if you park up there and like one

219
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: of your tail lights is out, you know what that

220
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: means about your tail that light it up? You gotta

221
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: light that tail up if it's out. M I grew

222
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: up with HBO Flex Bragg and they had a show

223
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: called Real Sex. Oh yeah, which I would I would

224
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: always tune into, you know, after the parents had gone

225
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: to bed, and I would see sex clubs and I

226
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: would be disillusioned from any idea that they are what

227
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: what we see in movies. They're usually they usually involved

228
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: a balding man and a with a ponytail. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

229
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: you ain't going you ain't, I mean, listen, I'm sure

230
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: there's uh you know, listen, beauties in the eye that behold. Yeah, yeah,

231
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Let me go on head

232
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: and say these things pre cancelation, beauties in the eye

233
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: to behold, or what you love is what you love?

234
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: You know that looks though, matters what's on the inside.

235
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: But you know, we ain't going It ain't Rareshue diaries

236
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: in there. It's gonna be some you ain't attracted to

237
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: in there. So you know, like it's just know that

238
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: probably going there. You know that, Yeah, you might be

239
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: looking for Restue diaries. It might be payless. What is

240
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Gosh? I think the Loki

241
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: Show is overrated. The whole Marvel universe. I think it's overrated.

242
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: I have not seen it. I've I will. I don't know.

243
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, were you a big Marvel Universe fan and

244
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: then you watched it? No? No, I I got into

245
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: the Marvel Universe and Lockdown, we got Disney Plus and

246
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: we've been watching Loki and people are always talking about

247
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I just don't get it, Like

248
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm not insuit at all. People are so into these

249
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: movies and this television show, and I just I really

250
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: don't get it. You know, I started it, didn't finish

251
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: it the same reason. I just did get the appeal.

252
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: It's just not something that I just don't understand. Do

253
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: you like it? I know? I I famously have not

254
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: watched any of them because I'm like a just like

255
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: a completionist. And and I've said this before the show,

256
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: like the tick at which these films came out was

257
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: too much for me to keep up with, and so

258
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: I was just like, no, I'm not I can't do this.

259
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: This is too many films to like understand the other films.

260
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: So a lot of listeners have been like, just watch

261
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: these six in this order and it'll make sense. And

262
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's just a huge time investment and it's

263
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: too mud. It's it's a little bit hard for me,

264
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I get it. People. You know they're they're

265
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: really caught up in them, see you. I feel like

266
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: they'd just be baking them up as they go along.

267
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: It's like, y'all, y'll have twelve movies like two TV

268
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: shows I gotta watch to make it all makes sense, Like,

269
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: oh man, wait to do the new shows? Fans is Sandal?

270
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what do you see the storylines about that,

271
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: just his foot where it's like, are we we got

272
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: all kinds of threads that we're going down? But yeah,

273
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: I like Spider Man into the Spider Verse. I thought

274
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: that was cool. Have you seen that? Right? I like that.

275
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that, So that one, I feel like

276
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot from the low key reactions about

277
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: like the multiverse and the idea that like all the

278
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: Marvel different movies are part of like some multiverse that's

279
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: going to intersect, and like that that movie interacts with

280
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: that in an interesting way. I'm starting to get excited

281
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: about the Marvel cinematic universe just from four, my three

282
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: year old, because he's like now real into like all

283
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: these characters, even though he's like never all he's seen

284
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: is like pictures of them, And so I'm just like

285
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: imagining when he can like finally watch the movies, like

286
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: how much it's going to make his brain melt and

287
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: leak out of his years. Yeah, Or he's gonna be

288
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: jumping off ship. Yeah, he's super there because that watch. Yeah,

289
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: me watching like a few superhero things, I had a

290
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: bad habit of jumping off of ship, thinking I wouldn't

291
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: get hurt like when I was four, but I would

292
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: try and put enough couch cushions below me to not

293
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: shatter my ankles completely. Like the you know, the versions

294
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: that we had, like when I was a kid and

295
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: into superheroes were like a Hulk TV show and uh

296
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: and Batman the sixties TV show and like I was

297
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: just I was into it. That was good enough for me.

298
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: The Greatest American Hero which was like a joke, but

299
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: I took it seriously. What is sorry something you think

300
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: is overrated? I think that being diagnosed with a d

301
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: h D on the app TikTok is underrated. And I

302
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: think being diagnosed with lesbianism on the app TikTok is

303
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: overrated because through the okay, so lately, if you've been

304
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: on TikTok, and even if you haven't, there's like a

305
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: widespread phenomenon of women starting to use TikTok and then

306
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: there for you page, the algorithm, like the algorithmically decided

307
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: feed starts showing them more and more lesbian content and

308
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: content about compulsory heterosexuality or heteronormativity or whatever, and as

309
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: a result, a lot of women are like ha ha,

310
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: TikTok thinks I'm gay, but I'm not. And then like

311
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: six months later they're like, turns out I am gay

312
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: and and it took TikTok twenty minutes to figure out

313
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: that I was gay based on my activity when I

314
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't know. And I'm like, you know, thirty years old

315
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: or whatever the fuck, And I could be interested in

316
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: hearing from the people in their lives if they knew,

317
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: like if everybody around knew and they were the last

318
00:17:52,960 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: to find out. I think okay, based on personal experience, yes, um.

319
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: I remember when I was younger, having like a lot

320
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: of I would make friends with gay or queer people

321
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: and they would be like, are you sure you're not gay?

322
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: And I'd be like yeah, and they were like okay,

323
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: but are you sure though, and I was like yeah,

324
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm just like really comfortable with they're gay people, I

325
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: mean gay people. And they were like okay, but are

326
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: you gay? And I was like no. And then I

327
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: like cut all my hair off and they were like

328
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: you're gay and I was like no, I just don't

329
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: want men to talk to me, and the like, I

330
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: think you're gay and I was like no, it's just

331
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: that i'm kind of like terrified of men. Sometimes, but

332
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm also definitely attracted to them but not women. But

333
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: then all you know, when you if you have short

334
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: hair and you're a girl, a lot of women just

335
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: assume you're gay and then we'll hit on you. And

336
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: then you're like, well, this isn't so bad. Actually this

337
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: is kind of nice. And so are there are there

338
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: people who have been on TikTok now who are like

339
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: I realized through this algorithm that I like, I had

340
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: a moment of self discovery realization. Wow, okay, and then

341
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: what's what about the one I actually I switched these.

342
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: Being diagnosed with d D is overrated. Being diagnosed with

343
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: lesbianism is underrated. It like diagnosed by well, the algorithm

344
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: fucking pitches ship to you, Like they'll start showing you

345
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: something and if you interact with it, and by interact,

346
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean even just watch the video in full, or

347
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: watch it multiple times, or pose it and then restart it,

348
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: they'll show you a ton more ship Like that. The

349
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: algem is constantly throwing shit at you that is popular

350
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: or that it thinks you will like and then responding

351
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: like instantaneously based on here. This is why TikTok is

352
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: so addicting. Because it is so responsive and the algorithm

353
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: is so responsive. But anyway, so a big thing on

354
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: TikTok is like there's a lot of people with a

355
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: d h D on TikTok who are there being like, hey,

356
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: what's up. Here's my life with a d h D.

357
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: Here's like, you know, research stuff, my want to know

358
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: if you have a d D or you know whatnot.

359
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of people have made the

360
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: observation that TikTok definitely fucking destroys your attention span um

361
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: And so if you have a d D already and

362
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: you're on TikTok, it's like impossible to get out of it,

363
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: and it's actually a really bad, very overstimulating thing for

364
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: you to do. And if you don't have a d D,

365
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: you will begin to experience a lot of the symptoms

366
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: that people with a d h D experience all the

367
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: time because you're on the app that is like constantly

368
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: fragmenting your focus and throwing distractions at you at like

369
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: the speed of light. And uh so, you know, when

370
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: you go on TikTok and they're like, hey do you

371
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: do you feel like you can't focus and like you

372
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: have a hard time getting offline and you're like, yeah,

373
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: on this app. Yeah yeah, I'm on the like the

374
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: screen version of cocaine. Of course I have a hard

375
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: time focusing right, And then people are just be like

376
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: and do I It's like we'll hold on, zoom out

377
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: for a second, realize what the activity you're in, Gigston right,

378
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: because it's like if you got off TikTok and you

379
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: still felt all those things, yeah for sure, like you

380
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: might have a d h D. But like if you're

381
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: on TikTok, all bets are off, dude, like this is

382
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: this is like it's like they threw crack cocaine into

383
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: our into our minds again. They were like, hey, man,

384
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: are you like fucked up? Like are you mentally ill?

385
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: And You're like, no, I'm actually on a drug. Fine, fine,

386
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm on drugs right now. Yeah I feel crazy. I'm

387
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: on drugs. Yeah, this I feel like I remember because

388
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: you know when I get caught, because it knows your

389
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: boy used to dabble in the dark street arts, because

426
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,640

00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: We don't want to burn you out. You see the

429
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: data fields. You have to leave one of your data

430
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: fields fallow every year, right right, grow new data and

431
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: data data crop rotation. All right, let's take a quick

432
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: break and we will be right back. And we're back,

433
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: and Texas is Texas saying big times. So Governor Greg

434
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: Abbott and his married band of fascists have not given

435
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: up on passing a bunch of bills that would turn

436
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: the clock back to the nineteen thirties. Ish. Yeah, yeah,

437
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: we might be we might be being too hard on

438
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties. But the uh, yeah, you know, they

439
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: see the demographic changes that are coming their way and

440
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: they need to protect their you know, white supremacy, so

441
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: they are doing everything they can to make it so

442
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: that you know, the population as it exists in Texas

443
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: can't vote. Yeah, I mean, that's that's the that's the

444
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: easiest way to hold onto power when you have a

445
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: platform that is unappealing to most and it completely doesn't acknowledge,

446
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: you know, the humanity of the people that live in

447
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: your state. So, you know, the bills. We've talked about

448
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: this because a lot of Republican controlled states after the

449
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: presidential election and because of the Big Lie, they're using

450
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: this premise of like, we need more voter security to

451
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: essentially strip away all the ways that makes it easier

452
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: for people to vote. And that's how they're you know,

453
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: potentially combatting the voter security question, which is a total fallacy.

454
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: So in Texas, they want to ban drive through polling places.

455
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: They want to just severely restrict absentee voting and twenty

456
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: four hour voting, which helps if you have a you know,

457
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: restrictive job schedule, that you have the ability to vote

458
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: at any time of day. And even you know, most

459
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: fucked up is like give poll watchers essentially, like the

460
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: ability to just beat at a polling place and intimidate

461
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: the funk out of whoever they want and really again

462
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: create create scenes that we haven't seen since you know,

463
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: say Jim Crow. And this isn't the first time they've

464
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: tried to do this. The last time they tried to

465
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: pass the bills, Democrats left in protest, They left like

466
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: the capitol to you know, prevent them from achieving a

467
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: quorum to actually have a vote. And then this time

468
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: that the governor called a special session, they wanted to

469
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: force a vote, but now over fifty Democrats, they chartered

470
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: planes to leave the state again to this time to

471
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: prevent them from achieving a quorum to have a vote,

472
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: to go to d C to lobby their federal counterparts

473
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: to pass some fucking bills. Because right now in the Senate,

474
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: we see like with the for whatever reason, the intent

475
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: to hold onto the filibuster is preventing you know, HR

476
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: one and for the people act like the robust voting

477
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: rights bills that we're trying to pass that would make

478
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: it easier for everyone to vote, not just Democrats, republic

479
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: fucking everyone, just to say, hey, this is how it works, right,

480
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: we vote here and they may the best thing win. Yeah, exactly.

481
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: So one of the state representing St. Martinez Fisher, he said, quote,

482
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: this is a moment that is going to wake America up.

483
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: We have to decide if we're going to stand for democracy.

484
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: We want the nation to join us, and we want

485
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: the U. S. Senate to hear us and act because

486
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't you know, them saying they just

487
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: don't agree with the legislation, like they're they're for votes

488
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: that they're constantly outnumbered in and they still vote for

489
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: them to leave. They're trying to show everybody this is

490
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: so outside of the norms that people need to be

491
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: paying attention to what's happening here to the point that

492
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: they're risking quote unquote arrest. And I use that term

493
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: loosely because Governor Abbott has like doing w w E

494
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: style commentaries like and I'll keep doing special votes and

495
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: special sessions and until we get to election day and

496
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't care. And if they come back, I will

497
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: send the sheriffs or whatever to to arrest these members them. Yeah,

498
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: essentially they will be arrested and arrested and cabined until

499
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: they vote. But again, there aren't any laws on the

500
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: books that actually like what they're doing. Say there it's

501
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: a crime. But they did just vote to authorize the

502
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: sergeant at arms to go out and arrest the legislators.

503
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: But again that's something their jurisdiction is restricted to Texas.

504
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: And would you know, it's a lot of it's a

505
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: lot of blustering, but is happening. It's so crazy to

506
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: me that takes us as the state that culturally is like,

507
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: don't treat on me, small state, get out of my affairs,

508
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: liberty for all. And then it's like, okay, what about me,

509
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm a woman and would like to have control of

510
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: my body. Fucking no, it's like what about me, I

511
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: vote for a different party? No fun, you too. It's

512
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: just like, asshole, it's terms and restrictions apply. It's so naked,

513
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: it's so like, it's crazy that they can get away

514
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: with it, and it's so naked. Can I just I

515
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: had to google this because it's too perfect. There's a

516
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: quote by Hunter S. Thompson which is like so prescient.

517
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what

518
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: happened to old man Bush and ninety two. He peaked

519
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: too early and had no response to It's the economy stupid,

520
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: which should always been the case every GOP administration since

521
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: is let the military industrial complex loot the treasury and

522
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: plunge the nation into debt on the excuse of wartime

523
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: economic emergency. Next and quickly comes to mind, along with

524
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: Reagan and his ridiculous trickle down theory of US economic policy.

525
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: If the rich get wretched, the theory goes long before

526
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: their parts will overflow, it will somehow trickle down to

527
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: the poor, who would rather eat scraps off the Bush

528
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: family plates than need nothing at all. Republicans have never

529
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back

530
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: to pre industrial America when only white male property owners

531
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: could vote. Yeah, yeah, that's it. It's still the same thing,

532
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: still the same agenda, just new characters, newcast domes, it's

533
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: but it's like, it's if it didn't affect so many

534
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: people in such an awful way, it would be interesting

535
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: to observe from a scientific point of view, because the

536
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: group of people there, you know, taking the rights away from,

537
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: is increasing and the amount of people that they represents shrinking,

538
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: so they have to do these more and more tyrannical

539
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: things and like just nakedly anti democratic, you know, borderline

540
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: authoritarian lawmaking to suppress the vote. And it's like, at

541
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: what point did they trip over the line where people

542
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: are actually like, yo, what the fuck you can like

543
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: this is crazy, It's hard. I mean, it's it's bubbling

544
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: up because right now a lot of especially Democrats and

545
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: progressives and and anyone who's interested in voting rights are

546
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: looking at what's happening in the lack of movement from

547
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: especially the Senate, because we have this stupid, arcane mechanism

548
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: called the filibuster in place where if you watch on MSNBC,

549
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: even for MSNBC, you'll have people like Casey hunt say

550
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: called the filibuster the tool of the minority rather than

551
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: a relic of the most racist times. But okay, MSNBC,

552
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: thank you for your really cool of coverage, but they're like,

553
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, they won't do away with it because that

554
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest roadblocks to passing a lot

555
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: of these bills to have, like even with the just

556
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, mathe slim mathematical majority that the Democrats have,

557
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: And hopefully, I think these legislators from Texas are hoping

558
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: to put more pressure on these senators and people in

559
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: Congress to do something because they're saying, if you don't

560
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: handle it up here, we're getting we don't have the

561
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: numbers to do it at the state level. So this

562
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: is the only place where you're going to ensure any

563
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of outcome, especially for your federal offices as well.

564
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: This affects everyone, and I think a lot of us

565
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: here are looking at the President and Joe Biden and wondering, like, oh,

566
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: you're at this point. It just seems like he's refusing

567
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 1: to really take this seriously because I think, like, you know,

568
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: without the fillerbuster in place, a lot of real progressive

569
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: policy could come through that would change things for you

570
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: know that I guess the status quo in DC will

571
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: be it's necessary like that. That's the thing that I

572
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: think people are ignoring is that like, like you said, Tim, like,

573
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: because the demographics are chan changing, the Republicans are going

574
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: to like this is only going to get worse and

575
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: more blatant. Their authoritarianism is only going to get more extreme,

576
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: and there needs to be changes to the laws to

577
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: to protect against that. But I think people are just

578
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: because Trump lost the election, they're just less less concerned

579
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: about it and let paying less attention. But like the

580
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: central like Republican Party has only grown more and more

581
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: like startlingly authoritarian, and nothing nothing's really being done about it.

582
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: Do you remember, I think it was the second Obama

583
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: election and the Republicans got their ass handed to them,

584
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: and then they came out with that report about the

585
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: changing demographics of the country and how they needed to

586
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: basically extend a olive branch to the Hispanic community, and

587
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: like they were you know, you get these little I

588
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 1: mean that maybe that was that was it, and then

589
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: they ignored it. But there are these little signs that

590
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: every now and then they kind of know what they

591
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: need to do, and then they just go and ignore it.

592
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: And that's why I say, like, it doesn't have to

593
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: be you don't have to walk down this road of

594
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: absolute tyranny, and I think they're only doing it because

595
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: they're so entrenched in the system of just fulfilling the

596
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: wishes of these billionaires that fund the party. And not

597
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: to say that the Democrats don't do you know, their

598
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: own version of that, but it just seems it seems

599
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: like such a smaller, richer, more evil minority of people

600
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: who are calling the shots with the GOP. But I

601
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: did want to ask you, Timp, what is registering for

602
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: voting like in New Zealand? Like how many forms do

603
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: you have to fill out? How many different to make

604
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: sure that you are registered? And then which ideas and

605
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: proofs of address do you need to bring to the

606
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: poll to make sure that you are registered to vote.

607
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: In our last general election, which was last year, we

608
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: had attached to the general election where you you know,

609
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: pick what party is going to be in power and

610
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: what politician will represent your area that you live in.

611
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: We also had a referendum on cannabis law reform and

612
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: I went to the polls Stoned with no wallet, I

613
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: D or anything and cast my vote. That's how like

614
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: it literally could not be easier to vote in New Zealand.

615
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: Do you just fill out you just sort of your

616
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: self identify like on your ballot so they know who

617
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: the vote is attributed to or how does it how

618
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: we've gone, we've actually got some pretty good system. So

619
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 1: there's like they're they're genuinely has been a massive effort

620
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: in New Zealand to make it as easy as possible

621
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: and we've got I can't remember what they're called, but

622
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: they're like an easy vote card. So you register, you

623
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: know a little bit earlier, you make sure that your

624
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: details are correct on the electoral role, and then they

625
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: will post you just a little business card sized slip

626
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: of paper that's got a number on it. You go,

627
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: you go, and you take that to a polling volunteer

628
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: at the polling station and on the day and like

629
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: that's a there's a sheet of paper you put I

630
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: think it's actually may even be pre filled with your name,

631
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: and then you just take a couple of boxes and

632
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: that's your that's your ballot cast and the lines are

633
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: really like I don't want to rub it because I

634
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: see the news footage of you know, especially minority community

635
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: is just waiting in the cold for twelve hours and

636
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: people delivering them food just to cast a ballot and

637
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: it breaks my fucking heart man. And again it's one

638
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: of those like huge disconnects between America exporting the story

639
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: of itself being, you know, the greatest democracy in the

640
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: world in the birthplace of one democracy. It's like, you

641
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: fucking me, We we just have the best pr machine ever.

642
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: It's great to have dreams, it's great to have goals,

643
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: but you've got to kind of be real about your

644
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: current situation and what you're going to do to hit them.

645
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: You know, the factor judge where the US is doing

646
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: their act as great democracy, Like, we love what you did,

647
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: but you know, I had to hit the buzzer on

648
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: that because it was following a little bit short in

649
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: the accuracy department. Just keep working at it and we

650
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: hope to see you next season. Yeah. I can see

651
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: the intent though. The intent is there, and I appreciate that,

652
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: but I feel like Americans don't even acknowledge like how

653
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: simple the government could make it if they wanted to,

654
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: Like it is. It's super intentional. If I can tell

655
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: you one thing from it is and it's like, I

656
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: imagine really expensive to do that, Like it seems to

657
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: me just intrinsic, like it would be cheaper just from

658
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: to allow people to vote and not put these roadblocks up,

659
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: because all of them represent a barrier that someone's got

660
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: to you know, force in like these id checks and

661
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: that someone someone's actually got to be there doing those

662
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: idea checks. But there's got to be a system whatever.

663
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: It's you know, everyone's heard's a million times before. It's

664
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: not about voted fraud. Voted fraud does not exist in

665
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: any statistical way in America. It's not it does. It's

666
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: typically it's been republic kins that have been caught over

667
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: the last year. I been like, I'm sorry, man, I've

668
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: made my j didn't like half his family vote in

669
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: a different state the way they reside to try and

670
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: like swing ship. I mean I think they were just

671
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: errant le vote. I mean it's again, it's like it's

672
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: like these stupid little attempts from people thinking they're going

673
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: to be heroes by doing this really light of voter fraud.

674
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's all that, you know, this whole concept

675
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: because to your point of like, it's never just it's

676
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: if the white ruling class and that balance of power

677
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: begins to be upset, this is when the bills start

678
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: coming in. This is when state houses, start jerrymandering. This

679
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: is when they started restricting voting rights, because again, they

680
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: like voting only if it serves their purposes. And now

681
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: we're seeing them be like, Okay, there's too many of them.

682
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: We gotta pull up the gate, we gotta put up

683
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: the ladders, we gotta make sure that it's impossible now,

684
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: because this thing is gonna get away from us. And

685
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: the freaking thing is the Republicans have understood for a

686
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: long time how to do this. The structural stuff organization

687
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: is not the federalist society. They understand the power of

688
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: state legislatures and getting judges on the benches all the

689
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: ship that like I imagine typical Americans don't really pay

690
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: much attention to because you're living your goddamn lives. You know,

691
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: you're you're keeping the lights on, you're trying to pay rent,

692
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: look after your family. And the Republicans are like putting

693
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: all of the most dastardly people and these roles where

694
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: they can just tweak shit enough and a little bit

695
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: here and a little bit there in this court and

696
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: you know, the Sheriff's department, and then all of a sudden, yeah,

697
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: you've got like a third of the state that can't

698
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: cast a ballot. It's so crazy. America loves to brag

699
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: about how we have like the best colleges in the world,

700
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: but all are like educated. All that education is going towards,

701
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: uh like educating people to be in the federalist society,

702
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: like how the looted ways to make voting harder. And

703
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: I got to say this though, aversing the advertising industry,

704
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: I get. I get sweeped up in this stuff when

705
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm on podcast like this, and I've I've got to

706
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: just put it on the record. I fucking love America

707
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: and I love Americans. Okay, okay, yeah, I mean nothing

708
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: you said would indicate otherwise. I mean that like the

709
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,959
Speaker 1: only thing you've you've been on podcast where you said

710
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: something you made an observation about Americanly like this guy

711
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: fucking hates America. Man, it's very easy to get into

712
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: a det spiral about how bad the democratic process says

713
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: over the people like oh, yeah, no, welcome to Welcome

714
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: to this show. It's called the daily death spiral. Yeah yeah,

715
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: I was listening to your stand up about how much

716
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: more progressive the healthcare system and grand Theft auto is

717
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: than the US healthcare system. I thought that was a

718
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: really good observation. And no lies, not not a single

719
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: lie detective. Even the name has a utopia of a

720
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: medical like it's wish fulfilment. It's like, God, damn, could

721
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: you imagine? All right, real quick before you blast off,

722
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,959
Speaker 1: let's go to space real quick. So Richard Branson went

723
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: to space. First of all, I just want to say

724
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: the headline on Drudge Report, right wing media outlet, but

725
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: it's uh like the single page. It's just a single

726
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: page with a bunch of links, and it still competes

727
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: with like New York Times for page views. Like this,

728
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: this is the most popular news single page in America.

729
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: So I always like to check it. And on Sunday

730
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: their headline was Richard Branson Branson blast off with the

731
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: big headline. And then above that, Death Valley hits a

732
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty degrees fahrenheit, within four degrees of world

733
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: record exclamation point, palm Springs, highest every tempts per month,

734
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: record temperature, strampower supply, USA, hottest June reservoirs drying up.

735
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: In addition to this being just like a boring pissing

736
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: contest between rich guys, apparently Bezos is not impressed with

737
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Branson's He Branson didn't break the carbon barrier, which is

738
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: the internationally recognized barrier for space, and Bezos like that,

739
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: he didn't really go on our sprays. And I mean

740
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: they didn't do a good job convincing me either with

741
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: the video. They just they didn't even like put on

742
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: astronaut suits. They were just like in some glasses floating

743
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: around but commercial baby, you know what I mean, the

744
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: ships and giggles. But uh yeah, I just keep picturing

745
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: Bezos and Branson like saying we as they fly into

746
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: space and contributing nothing to the mission, and the actual

747
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: astronauts having to like stop their complicated work to like

748
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: look over and be like, yeah, wow, are you really

749
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: doing it, sir? This is great? Great worry Yeah, just

750
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: over and over base Like this is so fucking sick

751
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: right now, I'm so sick that thank you, Mr Bezos.

752
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: We have to I'm checking the telemetry right now, so

753
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: fucking sick. I can't believe it. That was approximately how

754
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: eloquent Bransom was. He was like, that was I've done

755
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: some ridiculous stuff, but dude, that was ridiculous. That was

756
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: like that was his That's one small step from me

757
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: was dude for donk Well, he told he was like

758
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: for all the dreamers out there, He's like, I'm a

759
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: grown man in a spaceship. I believe your dreams. I'm like,

760
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: you're in a plane that went up that didn't even

761
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: bust the car, be barrier full. Just relax and and

762
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: do something with your money to help the earth that

763
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: you left that is on fire as we speak. But yeah,

764
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: that just that, Like, I feel like a movie wouldn't

765
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: put those headlines right next to each other during the

766
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: like headline reel where when a movie is like trying

767
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: to montage past an apocalypse to get to the post apocalypse.

768
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: Like having them on the same headline is a lot

769
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: Like that's very on the nose. Yeah, the ship that

770
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: rich white people do is astounding to me. And and

771
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: it's mostly because like, let me, let me actually something

772
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: Miles and Jack like, could you imagine jay Z going

773
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: to space? I could you could? I can't imagine that

774
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: they're going to space. I mean, look, he signed a

775
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: deal with the NFL, But but going to space, no, bro, No,

776
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: in general, jay Z grew up port. Jay Z ain't

777
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: about to go nowhere. That's gonna kill him like that

778
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: easily and losing his day own money, right, I mean,

779
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: after seeing him on a wave runner with his vacation hair,

780
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think I've seen it always Jay, But yes,

781
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: with this, with this, what you're putting down right now, Yes,

782
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: I do. I understand the point you're making for sure.

783
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: Like it's just you know, listen, we could talk about

784
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: richness all we want, capitalism, billionaires blah blah blah, but

785
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: somebody get Jackie's a billion dollars. First of all, all

786
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: help some people. I'm still gonna keep up. I'm still

787
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna keep a lot of my money, but I'll help

788
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people. You know what I'm saying. I'll

789
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: tell you what I'm not doing. I'm not going to

790
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 1: fucking space. I'm not doing ship that's gonna be close

791
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: to killing my ass. One thing can go world. The

792
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: most I'm doing is getting on the plane. That's the

793
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: most thing. That's the most I'm doing. I'm not jumping

794
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: out of a plane. I'm not going beyond the atmosphere.

795
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: I just don't understand, Like, what makes you want to say, well,

796
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: what have I done? I made? I made four billion dollars.

797
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: Fuck let's go to space. Like I don't don't understand it.

798
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: It's so wild to me. And then we just left them.

799
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: There's just like a fork in the road I think

800
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: for really wealthy people where it's like okay, like I've

801
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: bought everything that can be owned, and then you're sort

802
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: of like okay, and then you get to this fork

803
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 1: in the road, which is like maybe help people like

804
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: in a significant way, or the other side of the

805
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: road goes build spaceship, and they're like yeah, yeah, yeah,

806
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: build spaceship, build spaceship. I'm also mad they go into

807
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: space because I'm tired of I'm tired of like Twitter

808
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: memes and ship about it, like it's just I'm so

809
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: tired of people. Oh well, they're sucking up the planet,

810
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: so they're trying to leave it like okay, like it

811
00:44:54,719 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: all it all spawns just boring takes. It's all bo

812
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: on the nose. It's boring, but gotta I mean there

813
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: they're doing it like you don't need a meme because

814
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: the meme, like all the writing is there in this pause. Yeah.

815
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a really good point about just like

816
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: that some something about the confluence of like personality defects

817
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: that makes you become a billionaire. It's going to space.

818
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: It's wanting to like feel proud of that. There's like

819
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: something bad person energy. Like I'm reading this book The

820
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: Power Broker about Robert Moses and the guy who like

821
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: designed a lot of New York City and was like

822
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,919
Speaker 1: a racist piece of ship, and like early on he's

823
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: like the super idealistic guy and he's publishing a paper

824
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: that he worked on with like twenty people who adored him,

825
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: who he was like a really good leader to, and

826
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: then when it comes to like taking credit for the report,

827
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: he just like takes all their names off the report,

828
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: like he's just there's just like these certain character defects

829
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: that make you really successful in America and all they

830
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: also happen to make you like a very shitty person.

831
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: And I feel like going really wanting to go to

832
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: space and like have people recognize you as guy in

833
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: space is one of them. Like even with Trump, as

834
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: you were pointing out, like even Trump like wanted to

835
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: get involved as like a want to be billionaire. Absolutely

836
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: he's even when he was Trump took credit for the

837
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 1: for them going to space, said I'd rather see Richard

838
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: into playing today than me in the spaceship. Richard loves it,

839
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: and Bezos loves it, and a lot of rich guys

840
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: love space. Okay, you will explain that someday, but they

841
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: do love space. That's a real quote he said out

842
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: his mouth. And then he goes on and say they

843
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: love spending, they love sending racket ships up. And I

844
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: made it possible for them to do this. I actually

845
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: said to my people, let the private sector do it.

846
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: These guys want to come in with billions of dollars.

847
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: Let's lease them facilities, because you know, you need a

848
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: certain face. Silities just end up brackets. And we have

849
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: those facilities. We have the greatest facilities because we are

850
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: leading the pack in space by far. I'm so mad.

851
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm so mad at Donald Trump. And let me tell you,

852
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: let me tell you why, Hey, what's going on? You know?

853
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: Try overall think the presidency is bad? Uh in general.

854
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: I know I'm about to upset a bunch of people

855
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: out here, but I think even if Lord Bernie Sanders

856
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: got into the White House, that niggas gonna do some

857
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: bad ship because just the office of the presidency is bad.

858
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: But some people would be better than others, right, I'm

859
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: so mad that Trump is on the lower spectrum, if

860
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: not the bottom of bad presidents, because if he wasn't,

861
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: this nigga is the funniest motherfucker in the planet that

862
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, like that, she is pure comedy, and

863
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: I can't enjoy his comedy because she's such a terrible

864
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: fucking person. Like what you just read is a scripted

865
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: television show. Yeah, the scripted television show that we can

866
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: enjoy because he's serious, like and not in a charming way,

867
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 1: not in the fun way. He's serious and like all

868
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: the crap that spews out of his mouth. But okay,

869
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: once he's dead, I feel like Trumps movies are gonna

870
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: be like an entire genre because it's like he is

871
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: Michael Scott, Like he's a Michael Scott level like character

872
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: just in in reality. But the unfortunate then fortunate reality

873
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: is that the stakes are so high that those like

874
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 1: translate to real world outcomes that are just deadly. That's

875
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,959
Speaker 1: they're just yeah, that can funk up a whole goddamn nation.

876
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: But like the immediate instinct at the at the front

877
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: of that quote to be like, look, I don't even

878
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: want to go to space like a like a kid

879
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: who just lost a race and is like I didn't

880
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: even want to win. Yeah, he's like, well bet of

881
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: than than me. I would rather see Richard in the

882
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: plane than me in the spaceship. Richard loves its, loves it.

883
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: But it's like that that was like, that's not anybody

884
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: else's thought except billionaires. Billionaires are the ones who are

885
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: like looking at him being like, mother fucker, so space

886
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: money space also, Trump push your line as are you

887
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: know your ass wouldn't go to space, your scary as

888
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: you know your as when you go, you wouldn't get

889
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 1: near a rocket? You No, that's not at all almost definite. Yeah, yeah, alright,

890
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. How much time we got?

891
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: Five minutes and we're back. And the privatization of like

892
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: kind of security forces on a on a very small

893
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: scale is being delivered to Americans via a new Ring product.

894
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah drones, baby, yeah they. I don't know why this

895
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: would make anyone feel fucking good about anything, but like

896
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: you know, Ring and that entire home security industry like

897
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 1: is built on like scaring the funk out of people

898
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: and getting them to buy into their version of reality.

899
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: Where like every neighborhood in America is filled with dangerous people,

900
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: and like the only way to protect yourself is to

901
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: like have constant surveillance and apps where people can like

902
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: talk about their neighbors and and you know, and and

903
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: get off some of the most racist takes you've ever seen.

904
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: And you know, like we talked about how like when

905
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: Ring was bought by Amazon, then they were putting out

906
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: ads for like looking for crime reporters to help like

907
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 1: create content for their ads. Again to keep this sort

908
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: of cruel and unusual world narrative going for all their users.

909
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: And as if having a ton of hackable cameras wasn't

910
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: enough to make you feel safe, Ring has announced this

911
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: new product which is called the Ring Always Home Cam.

912
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: It's a fucking drone that will fly around your house

913
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: so you can check all the nooks and crannies when

914
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: you're out of the house. So I'll just read it

915
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: like it looks so like it like looks like Wally's Friend.

916
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: It's made to look so non aggressive, but it's a

917
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: miniature quad copter with a camera on it. And they

918
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: say the Ring Always Home Camp is a drone camera

919
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: that you can program to follow preset flight paths throughout

920
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: your home. Yeah, you'll get the most out of it

921
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: when paired with a ring Alarm subscription, since the drone

922
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: is automatically triggered to lift from its base to fly

923
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 1: preset paths. In the ad for it, it was basically

924
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: some person leaving their house and like setting their alarm,

925
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: but then a guy with a ski mask decided to

926
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: open a window and the alarm went off, and then

927
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: the drones like like to check and this guy's checking

928
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 1: his phone and it looks like this like steady cam

929
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: shot going through your house and it arrives to the

930
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 1: point of entry where this guy with the scheme mask

931
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: is in and the guy sees and he's like, oh, no,

932
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know. It's a little quad copter. I'm gonna go,

933
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 1: you know what, crime over and like leaves and it

934
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: follows him home and he decided to change his life

935
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: and go to college become an engineer for ring Um

936
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: and I it's weird that like again, as if there

937
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: we don't have enough ways for you to put cameras

938
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: in your own home, Like I guess they're trying to

939
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: be like stationary cameras are for victims, but like for

940
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: those of us that embrace the surveillance state, you can

941
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: now invite it directly into your home, and the potential

942
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: for bad ship with this just seems infinite. Like the

943
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 1: idea that now you're gonna deploy security drones within your

944
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: home is just like such a nightmare a situation for me.

945
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: But I just won't also point out that, you know,

946
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: Amazon and the police are using Ring cameras to basically

947
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: privately crowdfund their own surveillance networks. And it's a little

948
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: I think not many people aware of this all but

949
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: two states, Montana and Wyoming. Uh, this is from the

950
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: Verte quote. Now have police or fire departments participating in

951
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: Amazon's Ring network, which lets law enforcement ask users for

952
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: footage from their ring security cameras to assist with investigations.

953
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: And they say now, figures from Rings show more than

954
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: nine departments joined the program in for a total of

955
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: over two thousand. And they're saying that even if you're

956
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: a person who if the police say, hey, we'd like

957
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: to obtain some of the footage from your ring camera,

958
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: some people who own the cameras don't even have the

959
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 1: ability to say no. They're just like Amazon will just

960
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: go around them. And be like yeah, okay, here it is.

961
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: So this is just a very there's like so many

962
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: layers to this that it just like there gets spooky

963
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: and spookier and spookier when you look at it. What

964
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: are the cops doing? We're not doing Rather that they

965
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: need like entire cities to be on ring camera, right

966
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: like this really, I mean this is this is all

967
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: the ads that the defund the police movement really needs,

968
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: right Like people still need to depend on like fucking

969
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: cameras flying around every inch of their home and that

970
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: still maybe doesn't even prevent the crime, Like what the

971
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: hell do we have the cops for? And then that's

972
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: then we go step for like and then the rain

973
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: camera gets super welke. It's like, but what is crime?

974
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: Is it? A is a sectrum of a of a

975
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: society where there's no social safety net and people are

976
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: driven to such desperation that their only financial recourse or

977
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: to commit property crimes. Hi, I'm Jeff Bezos and blah blah.

978
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: But it's like like I don't know where they Yeah,

979
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the simple question is, wait, what what

980
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 1: about police? If I need super drone to shoot away

981
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: a suspected burglary, A burglar from my home. Right, where

982
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: are the cops watching my ring fotage? I guess. But

983
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: but the cool stuff when it's aimed at someone's backyard

984
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: and they got a pool, it's like, Okay, that's not

985
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 1: you're not enforcing anything. Have you Have you seen any

986
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: of like the YouTube videos of people putting guns on

987
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: quad copters, because that's happening. I saw. I mean, I

988
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: I saw a terminator to a judgment. Basically, I have

989
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: an idea of what that's like. But you're saying people

990
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: are now I mean just like home homespun homespun killer drums.

991
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, well yeah, I mean that that that

992
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: goes along with that, like lego glocks that that just

993
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:44,240
Speaker 1: came out. People like they're like, it's just a cool

994
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: gun that they glued legos on to like make the

995
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: gun more children. Yeah, that's cool, but can end to life.

996
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: And because that's because we're talking esthetics. But I mean,

997
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: when you think about, like one of the big arguments

998
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: for gun ownership in America is like the fan to

999
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: see of like that that iconic figure of guy in

1000
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: ski mask breaking into house and getting to shoot someone

1001
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: with impunity and like I can just imagine, like it

1002
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's much of a much of a

1003
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: leap to a world where this thing rises out of

1004
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: the ground with a fucking handgun and attached to it

1005
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: right and again inherently like anything on that Internet connected

1006
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: could be hackable. So who knows what other eventual applications

1007
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: they have. I don't know if anyone. Again, I don't

1008
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: know who this is for, but this seems like a

1009
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: very specific person who's consumed a lot of you know,

1010
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 1: Facebook posts and like neighbor app posts to be like, yeah,

1011
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: I need this, I need this. The only way to

1012
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: feel safe is drone. Just yeah. They make it look

1013
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: they make this ship look cute as hell, and the

1014
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: commercial like it's not some it's not know indicating what

1015
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: our bleak future looks like. It really was meant to

1016
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: look like a fun thing that would make someone reconsider

1017
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: committing a crime because it saw you. Let's talk about

1018
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: some good news in this crazy mixed up world. A

1019
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: corporation bringing two groups together after at long last, you know,

1020
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: this has been years of these groups butting heads and

1021
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: Hines is is here to bring the hot dog people

1022
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: and the hot Dog bun people together. It's a I

1023
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: think it's a Seinfeld joke maybe about like how you

1024
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: know hot dogs come in ten packs, hot dog buttons

1025
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: coming eight? What's the deal with that? Yeah, and that

1026
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: that Hines is trying to broker a piece here, broker

1027
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: an accord between the two. But don't they own the

1028
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: fucking aren't they all owned by the same like three

1029
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: companies anyway? Yeah, General Foods, Craft or whatever. They fucking

1030
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: owned the bread and the hot doug people. Is it

1031
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: really reaching across the aisle or I guess in this

1032
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: romantic version it is. Yeah, the I'm pretty sure they

1033
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: are all owned by like one of two companies. So

1034
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: the reason that they're said that they have different counts

1035
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: is hot dogs used to be a thing that was

1036
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: sold by butchers, and butchers tend to go with like

1037
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: the ten pack for all things because that's just like

1038
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: what makes sense, like what's the easiest count. And but

1039
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: then bakers go with eight because bakers, I don't know,

1040
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: they don't they don't play by Yeah, yeah, so I

1041
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: mean but that, but that's not an even ten. Like

1042
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: bakers are loose cannons when it comes to numbers. They'll

1043
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: just they'll throw thirteen roles at you. They don't give

1044
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: a fuck, you know, like is different than you're does

1045
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: and fuck the meat bread balance. Here's another loaf. Go

1046
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: But is it because maybe because eight, because it's divisible

1047
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: by four and twelve is their god. The dozen is

1048
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: the god of the of the baker. Yeah, so it's

1049
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: basically I think the reason the dozen is the god

1050
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 1: of the baker is the reason that they have the eight,

1051
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: which is that they have trays, like baking trays that

1052
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: are like built in fours, so you always have like

1053
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: like multiples of four for all baking products. Who's making

1054
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: the tens? So that's what out further, that's what Hains

1055
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: needs to be thinking about right here. So are they

1056
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: going to Is this like a real thing? Is this

1057
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: like a marketing thing? They're just trying to They had

1058
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: a bad, damnit, Jack, I was hoping for substantive change.

1059
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: They had a bad because they and they were like

1060
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: Embroider and accounting scandal that I know we all followed closely.

1061
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Their CEO had to resign in twenty nineteen. Process were

1062
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: already falling before the ketchup shortage during the pandemic. So

1063
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: they're like, uh, we're back. It's not really like a

1064
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: growth product. It's not like people are still finding out

1065
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: about catchup. So I don't know, you're like, did you

1066
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: hear what they did? That's the Oh they make the

1067
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: red stuff. Oh so it's the So they're acting as

1068
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: so the condiment maker is acting as the intermediary, neutral

1069
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: third party to create this accord. I see, I see,

1070
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: I see, I see. That's why I buy Nathan's. They

1071
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: come in eight and the buns come in eight, right,

1072
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: but they match up? Yeah, because I have a terrible

1073
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: I have a terrible I hate when you got extra,

1074
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: but I just can't handle this ship. It really bugs

1075
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: me again, along with me being a completionist and not

1076
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: watching a lot of the m c U films. I

1077
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: don't like getting a ten pack of buns when I

1078
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: only have eight francs. Just did you watch all the

1079
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: low Keys? No? Okay? Any anything well that that I

1080
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: think towards the end is when they like revealed the

1081
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,439
Speaker 1: large m c U like crossover a possibility. I only

1082
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: know about this because Toby McGuire was trending, and my

1083
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Google alert that tells me every time Toby McGuire's trending, Uh,

1084
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: hit me up and wait, not Toby McGuire. What who

1085
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: did Toby McGuire played Spider Man. Yeah, so people are like,

1086
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: finally Toby McGuire is gonna like enter into the m

1090
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: which always intrigued me, and that that was the reason

1091
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: because like they opened the possibility of like all the

1092
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: different Marvel movies being connected and like some great crossover event,

1093
