What interested you about this story? 174 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, So the show is called Silence the Radio Murders, 175 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 4: and it's about the unsolved murders of four radio DJs 176 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: or radio journalists in fact, in Miami in the early nineties. 177 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 4: And what's kind of interesting is that all of the 178 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 4: crimes were treated basically individually and the victims were perhaps 179 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: predictably smeared as being involved in drugs, which they weren't. 180 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 4: They were all Haitian exiles who'd moved to Miami fleeing 181 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 4: the Duvalier regime. And the killings happened at this incredibly 182 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 4: hopeful moment for Haiti, when they had their first ever 183 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 4: democratically elected president in nineteen ninety one, and these guys 184 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: in Miami were using their radio shows to promote this president, Aristide, 185 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 4: to raise money for him, to mobilize the community, and 186 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: then they got murdered one by one. And in the meantime, 187 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: there was a military coup that overthrew Aristide. The military 188 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 4: figures who led the coup, it turned out later, were 189 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 4: all on the payroll of the CIA at the time, 190 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 4: and also major knarco traffickers. And the radio guys in 191 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 4: Miami were calling us out on the airwa when they 192 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 4: got killed. So I read a report that my co 193 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 4: host Anna Rana wrote about the crimes in the early 194 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 4: nineties where she called for a federal investigation, where she said, 195 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 4: this is basically an outrage. And I called her up 196 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 4: and I said, whatever happened, and she said nothing. So 197 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 4: we started working on this podcast together. 198 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: That Yeah, it's just when listening to it, like it's 199 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: there are those tragedies of history when the people are 200 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, fighting for human rights and you know, trying 201 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: to speak out in favor of justice and they get 202 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: killed and the killer's goal is just like achieved, like that, 203 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: they're silenced and they get forgotten, forgotten, and like we've 204 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: seen that a lot in the US with people like 205 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: Fred Hampton and you know, Malcolm X and who are 206 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: killed before they're able to have like the massive impact 207 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: they surely would have. And yeah, it's wild that you 208 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: found an example like that that is just still unsolved, 209 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: which I guess that's also the case with Fred Hampton 210 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: and Malcolm X. 211 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 4: But yeah, and this is a small community. I mean, 212 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 4: this is little Haiti in Miami, which at the time 213 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: had about sixty thousand people. So if you kill four 214 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 4: of the most vocal of those sixteen thousand and no 215 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 4: one is brought to justice. Unfortunately, it works. And what's 216 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 4: particularly bitter is I would say that the guy Fritz Daor, 217 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 4: who was kind of the leader of this group, who 218 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 4: was the second person to be killed, he actually fled 219 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 4: Haiti on a boat because he'd won this national competition 220 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 4: to be a school principal, but he refused to accept 221 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 4: his award on stage with baby doctor Valier and basically 222 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 4: had to flee. He was on a boat for fourteen 223 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 4: days over he arrived on the December twenty sixth. I 224 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,239 Speaker 4: think the boat was almost smashed to pieces by a storm. 225 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: He got to. 226 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 4: Miami and he thought, okay, well, I had leave my 227 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 4: family behind, had to leave everything behind. But at least 228 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 4: here I can speak freely and call out the reasons 229 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 4: why I had to leave. And of course he was wrong. 230 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's a pretty bracing kind of 231 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: portrait of like what it's like to live under dictatorship. 232 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: And like there's a part where like baby ducks like 233 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: henchmen just show up, like start appearing in Miami and 234 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh. 235 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah. 236 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean like he has like literal henchmen, like like 237 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: foot soldiers. Yeah yeah. 238 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 4: They were basically spies, and they compiled this thing if 239 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: ocraatically known as the Black Book, which had the names 240 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 4: of the most vocal enemies of the regime in Miami, 241 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 4: and it was reported back to to Haiti and you know, 242 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 4: go figure, wow. 243 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Cia think, yeah, they had a hand in that, huh. 244 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: Especially I mean like when you look at the history 245 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: of Haiti of like you know, the like one of 246 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: the only place to like sort of liberate themselves and 247 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: then the backlash that's happened in the form of like 248 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: just financial terror. Uh yeah, I'm like, oh in the 249 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: sea Okay, Yeah, they're also part of that to sort 250 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: of maintain that that pain campaign. 251 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, os, We're gonna get to know you 252 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna 253 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. 254 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: The Republicans are mad at Kevin McCarthy for refusing to 255 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: destroy the economy and like a bunch of jobs and 256 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: stuff because it's what they're doing good for presidential election. 257 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: They don't know what a default is, but they like 258 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: the word. That's one thing I've got it, Like, well, 259 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: it should have default. They're defaulting on the default, and 260 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: that's the good default. So my default here is that 261 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: we should be defaulting. So well, we'll just talk about 262 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: the fallout from the potential deal. Taylor Swift concerts are 263 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: causing mass amnesia. Apparently this is just a weird story 264 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: that as somebody who has suffered from, like I don't know, 265 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: like weird little bit bouts of memory loss, especially in 266 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: the past like five seven years. This was really interesting 267 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: to me because there's like psychology today articles about like 268 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: what could be the cause of this and how memory works, 269 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 2: and a lot of the ways that they're saying memory 270 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 2: works is not like what I what I was taught. 271 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: And it has nothing to do with her fans trying 272 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 2: to like memory hole like that she's with Matt Heally. 273 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: No, it seems like it has more to do with 274 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: than the concert itself being so blissed out by the 275 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: concert that they can't truly like the great of the best. 276 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: This all might be a viral marketing stunt for the 277 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift tour. 278 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: It's so good you won't remember. 279 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: It's so good it will obliterate your frontal lobe, whichever 280 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: lobe stores memories. Uh, we're gonna talking about eighty three 281 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: year old sex machine. Al Pacino is expecting a new baby. 282 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: Oh no, I have a loose theory about the Pachio 283 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: Pacino de Niro Pachiero. I like THEO I ship them. 284 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: That's my loose theory. I ship them. I want them 285 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: to be to get uh no, that like they're competitive 286 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: with each other. And that's why he's having a baby 287 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: at eighty three because de Niro just had a baby, 288 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: right basically, Okay, all of that plenty more. But first, 289 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: as we do like to ask our guests, what is 290 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: something from your search history. 291 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 4: Well, I recently got married tokay, thank you so much 292 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: to German woman, and so I've been trying to learn German. 293 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: I do weekly an hour a week on Zoom. 294 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: And so my. 295 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 4: German teacher said, I think you're ready to graduate from 296 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 4: ABC's and so she instructed me to google Deutsche Krimmi's 297 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 4: which means a German crime mysteries.

I Yeah, I will frequently, even if you're in 410 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: a hotel with like the little the windows that only 411 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: open a crack, I will hang my socks out the window. 412 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: I spy the foot spray because I do, and they're 413 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: actually not that bad anymore. It's just but I'm pretty 414 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: self conscious about it. 415 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 2: Right, But the pain has already, the trauma has already. 416 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: The pain is. 417 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated? 418 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a music to the ears of 419 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 4: our overlords. iHeart radio, but I'm going to say broadcast radio. 420 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: Because because AM radio brought the rise of the far 421 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: right in America or that. 422 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 4: That is that is that that is that is probably 423 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 4: sadly true. But but on the other hand, the transitionor 424 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 4: radio in Latin America I think was a big driver 425 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 4: of of of different leftist revolution and in Haiti radio 426 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 4: was absolutely huge remains huge. And so when these victims 427 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 4: of these crimes arrived in Miami, it was kind of 428 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 4: interesting because there were these broken radio stations where different 429 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 4: communities could basically buy airtime by the hour, and so 430 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 4: you would have like a cookout or you know, whatever else, 431 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 4: and these Haitian arrivals basically started buying airtime and using 432 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: the airtime to play music and stuff, but also to 433 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 4: report on what was going on in their community in Miami, 434 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 4: which was completely overlooked by all of the mainstream news outlets, 435 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 4: and also to call out the abuses and what was 436 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 4: going on at home in Haiti. And so it's pretty 437 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 4: cool just I mean, obviously it had a very tragic ending, 438 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 4: but the idea of being able to take this like 439 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 4: mass media tool into your hands and turn it into 440 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: a weapon was kind of cool. And literally one of 441 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 4: the sources said, you know, they had the guns, but 442 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 4: we had the microphones. And so I was pretty inspired 443 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 4: by just hearing about how this exile community found the 444 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 4: only broadcast and communication technology available to them and users 445 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 4: a tool to organize and to call out abusis and stuff. 446 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 4: So yeah, I thought I learned a lot about the 447 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 4: history of radio reporting the show and some inspiring stuff 448 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 4: in there, alongside the obviously hellish healthscape of AM radio 449 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 4: and conservative talk, which. 450 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, why is it all conservative shit in the US? 451 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: Do you have theories on that after doing the reporting 452 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: on like how it operates in other countries? 453 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 4: I guess conservatives much as love that crackling cracking at 454 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 4: the AM dial. No, it's a really good question. I 455 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 4: don't know. I mean, I think it's you know, I 456 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 4: guess the conservative answer maybe something like it was hard 457 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: to get booked on mainstream media before Fox, and so 458 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: like AM radio was the only place they could be. 459 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 4: And in fact, I think it wasn't like somebody was. 460 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 4: I think I think it read something. Maybe it was 461 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 4: when I was preparing to come on your show last 462 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 4: time when you got sick, Jack, But it was about 463 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 4: was it Tucker or somebody else complaining about how electric 464 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 4: cars didn't have AM radio dials, and this was isn't 465 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 4: the soul some conservative values? That was something which obviously 466 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 4: I don't think is the reason they don't have AM 467 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 4: radios right in electric in electric vehicles. But it's but 468 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 4: it's it's it's it's a very you know, cheap and 469 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 4: efficient communication mechanism. And yeah, I guess one way you 470 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 4: can reach an audience without having to like participate in 471 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 4: any system. 472 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, right. 473 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 2: And I think the other thing is that like AM 474 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 2: radio lends itself to like the call in style like 475 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: talk radio, whereas FM doesn't, and that is like like 476 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: those dynamics like just in the market of it, just 477 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: it becomes a completely different animal. Yeah, you know, like 478 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: that's like why you get Russian Limbaugh and like that 479 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: whole that whole kind of thing. We're just like you, 480 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 2: you're now doing this whole You're performing for just a 481 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 2: gigantic audience constantly, rather than like being casey ks and 482 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 2: popping in between like hits. 483 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: The leftists are also not frequently booked in mainstream media 484 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: and also disenfranchised. And yeah, it's an interesting question. 485 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 4: I mean, I guess democracy democracy now is a radio 486 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 4: call in show, but I don't know if that's AM 487 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 4: or fmd FM. 488 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, MPR, I guess might be the sad answer 489 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: to the question of you know, well, but. 490 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: It was interesting at the time they were they were both. 491 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: They were like promitory and anti military radio stations, and 492 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 4: the anti military radio stations were way more popular, and 493 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 4: the anti military broadcasters actually like successfully organized a boycott 494 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 4: and got the pro military broadcast has taken off the 495 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 4: AM dial in Miami, and that's when things really started 496 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 4: to go like into overdrive, and like they were getting 497 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: death threats to call them to their radio shows and 498 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 4: people turning up with guns and so like. There was 499 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 4: really a battle for control over the airwaves in Miami, 500 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 4: which which unfortunately turned turn physical. 501 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, in America, when you try and do a leftist 502 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: radio station, like the host get murdered. 503 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: Yeah right. No, there's like Tom Hartman who like has 504 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 2: like a progressive radio shows, Like he writes constantly about 505 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 2: how like like the left needs to have a comparable 506 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 2: tool because it's just you know, AM radio talk rado 507 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: is completely dominated by those conservative radios and when they 508 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: do they just think it's like interviewing people which is 509 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: completely different than what like concern like what talk radio is. 510 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: Right, So yeah, interesting, Well somebody who works for like 511 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio or something should do something about that. 512 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: I mean, right now, I think all we got are 513 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: the podcasting nook. 514 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: Right now, let's take a quick break and we'll be 515 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: right back to talk about the news. And we're back. 516 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: And so it seems like McCarthy might have the votes 517 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: to push the deal through to raise the debt ceiling 518 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: avoid a catastrophic default. And you know, but the far 519 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: right is trying to apply pressure in their own way. 520 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: They're really I mean, I think there's there's there's a 521 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: lot of fun when you look at what's going on 522 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 2: with Kevin McCarthy, because you know, he gave a lot 523 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 2: a way to become the speaker. If you remember, like no, 524 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 2: like remember how many times had to vote and it 525 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 2: was like nah, nah, And then he kept going around 526 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: and he was like please, man, what do you want, Like, 527 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 2: I'll fucking do anything. I'm just like you can be 528 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: speaker for a day whatever. And so one of the 529 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: big things that like you know that he sort of 530 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 2: gave as an assurance to the conservative especially in the House, 531 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: Freedom Caucus. We're like, you're gonna work with Joe Brandon 532 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: and we hate that is He's like, hey, look if 533 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 2: I if I run a foul, you guys can trigger 534 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: a vote of no confidence and you can you can 535 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 2: have me, you know, just get me out of here, 536 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 2: whatever you want to do. So just keep that in mind, 537 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 2: is all as we talk about all this. So they're 538 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: really losing it. And what's really interesting is that, you know, 539 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 2: they a lot of the Republicans are talking about the 540 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: default in a way that they don't think that eventually 541 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 2: it's going to be experienced by all people in the 542 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: United States. Like they think it's just like an optics 543 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: thing that if Joe Biden loses, then like, oh it's great, 544 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 2: rather than like the real consequences of like doubling the 545 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: unemployment rate or people's stonks going fucking poof. But you 546 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: know what, Donald Trunk told them that default was good. 547 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: And I just want to play this little clip from 548 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 2: Chip Roy, you know, from the Freedom Caucus and the 549 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: Logic here member of Succession jes Roy, Yeah, Chip Roy, Yeah, exactly. 550 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: He's Connor's other brother who they don't talk about much. 551 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: He just I just want to play this for you, 552 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: because his whole thing is like saying, like, we can't 553 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: do this deal because Donald Trump said no, and that's 554 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: about it. But just listen for yourself, because and he 555 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 2: has no idea. I guess to me, he's completely divorced 556 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: from the reality of what default means for the economy. 557 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 6: President Trump said he thought we should default rather than 558 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 6: pursue this kind of lunacy. At the end of the day, 559 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 6: the only person that would default in this town is 560 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 6: Joe Biden unless Republicans default on the American dream by 561 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 6: voting for this bad bill. That is why this group 562 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 6: will oppose it. We will continue to fight it today tomorrow, 563 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 6: and no matter what happens, there's going to be a 564 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 6: reckoning about what just occurred. Unless we stop this bill 565 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 6: by tomorrow, the. 566 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: Only person that's gonna default is Joe Biden. 567 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: Is what really interesting, because again they're playing fucking hot 568 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: potato with a fucking ticking economic time bomb and they're 569 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 2: like and then he'll have it and then poof, it's 570 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 2: all on him. But again, that was a lot of 571 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: really cool use of the word default, but it was 572 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: actually just a wonderful tossed word salad for all to enjoy, 573 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 2: and many of the Freedom Caucus members are doing everything 574 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 2: they can to try and tank the bill, but it 575 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: seems that McCarthy has the votes, so now like they're 576 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 2: just trying to poison the well as much as possible 577 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: or have these like really low energy attacks. Let me 578 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: play another one from South Carolina's Ralph Norman, who I 579 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: think is admitting that he is unable to actually read 580 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: written work. I believe is what he's trying to say 581 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: with this appearance on Fox News. So he's going to 582 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: come in talk His biggest criticism right now, aside from 583 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 2: we shouldn't be working with Joe Biden, is that it's 584 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: just too long, Like it's just such a big bill 585 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: and we don't have enough time to read it. Keep 586 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: in mind that like other bills have been in the 587 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 2: thousands of pages, and he's going to get fact checked 588 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 2: a little bit here on like why he's like this 589 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 2: is way, this is there's no way we can vote 590 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: on this, because that's all he's trying to say is 591 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 2: we can't vote on this. But has the worst you know, 592 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 2: logical excuse here. 593 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 5: The negotiated bill that we hadn't even read. It's like 594 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 5: the Pelosi days, you got to pass before you can 595 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 5: read it needs but he is giving you seventy two 596 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 5: hours to consider it before you're asked to vote on it. 597 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 5: Blows didn't do that, and that's what the part of 598 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 5: the twenty of us in January. We got that. But 599 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 5: really for this seriousness, serious of a bill affecting the 600 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 5: dollars that it is and the financial security, which is 601 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 5: national security, who want to have a lot more time? 602 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 5: And I think the day pages, it's only nine pages, 603 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 5: not the two thousand plus that the Portable Care Act was. Well, 604 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 5: and yeah, the one of the Biden bills was four 605 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 5: and eighty pages that we had less time to read. 606 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: You just fell asleep mid sentence. I'm gonna bail you 607 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: out there. Ralph Norman. 608 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: It's again. But I love the duality of like holding 609 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: so many of these thoughts to be true. On one end, 610 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, fucking default because that'll fucking make Joe 611 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 2: Biden look bad, But also like, but this is like 612 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: with the severity, the seriousness of the financials and blah 613 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: blah blah. It's like, well, which one is it? Does 614 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 2: it not fucking matter if you default? Or is it 615 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: that you have to read the bill because everything is 616 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 2: so important. Again, that's just where they are because all 617 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: they need is some kind of financial crisis to win 618 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. That's their entire strategy right now, 619 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 2: is some kind of crisis because it can't just be 620 00:31:58,800 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 2: us saying. 621 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: We don't believe in body autonomy. Right. 622 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 4: I wonder if that's still counting on that friends in 623 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 4: Saudi to to clor will production for the for the 624 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 4: gas prices, that's the. 625 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, there's I mean, there's a few different levers, 626 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, it's not gonna 627 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: be because they change their policies or their platform. It's 628 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 2: like make everything so untenable that they have to say 629 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: yes to fascism. I think that's kind of the playbook 630 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 2: they're trying to run. But again, here's the funny part though, 631 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 2: is that, like now with all of this like outrage, 632 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 2: it's possible a lot of people are talking about, like 633 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 2: maybe we do fucking vote Kevin McCarthy out as speaker, 634 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 2: which would be so funny because he wanted so badly 635 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 2: to be speaker, and then he would probably become like 636 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 2: come begging to Hakim Jeffries as the as the Democratic 637 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: Minority leader to be like, can you give me some 638 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: votes so I can be the speaker, in which case, Oh, 639 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: it's just gonna be. It's gonna be. Yeah. 640 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember that that smile on his face when 641 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 4: he won off to like the twentieth time, and yeah, 642 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 4: this smile will not lasted very long. 643 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: So unfortunately, because yeahs out here, yeah, like praising Joe 644 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: Biden and stuff, and the Republicans just can't app they 645 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 2: just can't stomach it. Meanwhile, like all the progressives in 646 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party are also like, man. 647 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: Fuck this bill. 648 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: So uh yeah, but I think right now most of 649 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 2: the tension is going on Kevin McCarthy. 650 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well, well, des Evd. 651 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: Let's speaking of smile on their face. Let's talk about 652 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. Her concerts are sweeping the nation. Everybody's excited 653 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: on social media, and they're so excited they're apparently suffering 654 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: from mass amnesia because some Taylor Swift fans are reportedly 655 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: attending Taylor Swift concerts and then have no memory of 656 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: the event afterwards. It's called by people on social media, 657 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: not by the medical community. It's called they're calling a 658 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: post concert amnesia. And so what are people saying that 659 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: they're just like they're like, are they true? 660 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 2: Like, I don't know what happened. 661 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. One person claimed that if it hadn't been for 662 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: a video of her at the show, she would have 663 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: told everyone that it didn't happen. Another person said she 664 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: had spent so long dreaming about what it would be 665 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: like to see the singer in person. She later claimed 666 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: she couldn't grasp what was reality. It's hard to put 667 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: together what you actually witness, So I don't know she 668 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: likes Taylor Swift. I've seen the like. So there was 669 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: a tweet that was like one of my tweets of 670 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: the day that was like comparing the like stage design 671 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: to the really complicated shirts from season two of I 672 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: Think You Should. 673 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 2: Leave Dan Flashes. 674 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan flashes really super complicated shirt pattern. Yeah they're 675 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: more expensive, Yeah, more expensive because the patterns are so complicated, 676 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: and like, her stage design looks pretty complicated. So I 677 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: don't know if she's like done something that has Like 678 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: I've never heard someone say it's hard to put together 679 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: what you actually witness right before? 680 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 6: Is it? 681 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 2: Because like part of me is thinking, like one version 682 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: is like hyperbole from fans to talk about how amazing 683 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: it was that you're like, literally, I don't even know 684 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 2: what happened. It was so magical, but like, are there 685 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: actual people Like no, I'm actually worried, like I don't 686 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 2: know what happened to me more like on that level, 687 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: or is more like it was such a dream, like 688 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if I was just out of body 689 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 2: or whatever, or I guess, or they're saying like it's 690 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: hard for me to specifically even call back something from 691 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 2: the concert. I know I was there, but that's about it. 692 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: After that, I just went into an absolute dream state. 693 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 1: If the CIA were to align itself with an artist, 694 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: I feel like that would probably be the correct like 695 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: that would be the choice. 696 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah right, oh yeah, I think so. But 697 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 4: it's a little I mean, if the idea is that 698 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 4: it's such a trendsporting and extremely magical experience that you'll 699 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 4: literately not able to per film memories, it makes a 700 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 4: little disappointing that I've suddenly never I didn't have ever 701 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 4: experience that. I've definitely been drunk enough. I don't remember 702 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 4: what happened in college, But the idea that has such 703 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 4: a transcendent experience that you can't remember. It kind of 704 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 4: makes you wonder, like what am I I'm missing out 705 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 4: on the life by not being a big tailis stand. 706 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 2: Now I'm getting like fomo because like I've seen artists 707 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 2: that I've absolutely obsessed over, yeah and been like I'm there, 708 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be front row and I remember that shit 709 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 2: like yeah, I fucking it was magical. Like I was like, 710 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm experiencing it exactly how I want to. 711 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 2: But yet to your point, I was, I'm like, so, 712 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 2: is there like another level like. 713 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: Drink and these people just getting really drunk for the 714 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: first time, Like it was crazy, like had seven to 715 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: twelve drinks and now I ge't no. So, according to 716 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: one psychology professor, this is something that can happen when 717 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: someone is in a highly emotional state. Due to exciting 718 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: or distressing factors. The neurons associated with memory start firing indiscriminately, 719 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: which makes forming new memories difficult, which which is the 720 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: opposite of like I had always heard, when you're in 721 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: like a heightened emotional state, you are more likely to 722 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: like have a like flash bold memory, you know, like 723 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 1: that's that's when you have those memories that really stick 724 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: because you're like, have this heightened state of arousal. 725 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 2: Don't tell that to Ronda Santis, who's denying people from 726 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 2: Guantanimo recognized him. 727 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: Right, how are they going to remember that? 728 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know, man, people remember shit in 729 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 2: those moments. 730 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: That Yeah, what I know some people claim not to 731 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: remember parts of their own wedding is the example that 732 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: they're giving. So it's like, and so I've noticed this, 733 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: like with being a dad, Like I will look at 734 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: a video that I've taken up my kids and it's 735 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 1: like just there, I'm like, I don't remember that at all. 736 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: I don't remember saying those words at all. I don't 737 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: remember kids looking like that because because I'm so like 738 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: that has to do with just like I see them 739 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: every day, so like what they look like is just 740 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: what they've always looked like in my brain. But you know, 741 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: I think there's something there that's like missing from my 742 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: understanding of memory because the only thing that I had, 743 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: the only interaction between memory and emotional state that I've 744 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: really had room for in like the thing that I 745 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: built in when I was like a teenager based on 746 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: like accepted knowledge, was that like scared or excited you 747 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: your memory like works better, so but and then really drunk, 748 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: your memory doesn't work. Those were the two things that 749 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: I knew of that could affect your memory. That's my 750 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: psych degree. And then like there was also the stuff 751 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 1: about you know, repressed memories of abuse or traumatic experiences. 752 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: But like I had always kind of because a lot 753 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: of that stuff ended up being recovered through hypnosis and 754 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: like led to it involved in a lot of the 755 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: satanic panic stuff. But it does seem like there's a 756 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: little more here where like there are forms of heightened 757 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: memories or like excitement or you know, like with my kids, 758 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: it's like the love is so strong, like my brain 759 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: can't look directly, Like it's like trying to look directly 760 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: at the sun or something. Your brain just like isn't 761 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: big enough to take it all in. Is like kind 762 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: of how it feels. So maybe that's what they're experiencing 763 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: with Taylor Swift concerts. 764 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 4: Maybe there's a new merch opportunity like the spinning coin 765 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 4: and inception that could be sold to Taylor Swift fans 766 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 4: before the concept so they neither. 767 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, exact because she's a master of like repackaging things. 768 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 2: They already have and be like, what about this version 769 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 2: will I build for twenty four hours and it has 770 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 2: half a song on it that you haven't heard about 771 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 2: that by that, but yeah, maybe she does still like 772 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 2: start selling like reality totems, so you keep spinning you 773 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 2: know what's going on, which is funny because when you 774 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 2: say that, Jack, the first thing I was like, well, 775 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 2: this has happened at Beyonce concerts because that's the only 776 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: other group of people who I feel like I get 777 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 2: this with the connection, Like these people, the parasocial relationships 778 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 2: that they have with Taylor Swift is to the next level, 779 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 2: so like I can tell that they're already like operating 780 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 2: in like a psychological space that might be different than 781 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 2: other fandoms. But it's interesting because the only thing I 782 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 2: was like, I just searched Beyonce post concert amnesia and 783 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 2: an article just came out ten hours ago that way, Oh, 784 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 2: Beyonce fans also getting post concert amnesia at Renaissance, So 785 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, is this a marketing thing? 786 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: Like what the fuck is this could just be a 787 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: few people on Twitter reported not being able to remember 788 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: something and everybody jumped on it. But right, like, I mean, 789 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: there are psychology professors and like this Psychology Today article 790 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: claiming that like we folk, this Psychology Today article totally 791 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: does not vibe with like how I feel like my 792 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: memory works. They're like, you focus on experiencing the world, 793 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: not remembering it. So if people are truly living in 794 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: the moment and then enjoying the concert, they're not necessarily 795 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: doing the work of trying to make new memories. It's like, 796 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't intentionally ever make memories. I'm not like, I'm 797 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: remembering this so fucking hard right now?

I have fomo that I've never blacked out 802 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 2: at a concert like that wasn't chemically induced. 803 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: A concert for understandable reason, that wasn't chemically induced. 804 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and that wasn't me abusing xanax or something 805 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 2: like I'm talking about like I'm fucking levitating because I 806 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 2: love the artists. Someone, now, what is the Swifties again? 807 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 2: I'm part of me, like the joke, the jokey side 808 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 2: of me is like I think they just want to 809 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 2: forget that she's with Maddie Healy and all that, right now, Yeah, anyway. 810 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: But is the concert Like I guess it's hard to 811 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: ask this question because you you can't, but like it 812 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: are people saying it's like a really great concert who 813 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: aren't like inherently huge Taylor Swift stands? 814 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I mean the people who I 815 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 2: know who are Taylor Swift fans who have gone.

Some people are 893 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: theorizing that he is being asked by other Republicans to 894 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: come in as like the sniper who can insult Trump. 895 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: So he comes in and during the debate he smears 896 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: Trump and that allows Nicky Hayley and like DeSantis and 897 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: all the other people who aren't willing to to continue 898 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: to run without So. 899 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 2: That is the dumbest idea. Whatever, even that's not doesn't 900 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 2: even make sense. Politically, it's like, well, you be mean 901 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 2: to him so that other people don't have to. It's like, well, 902 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,879 Speaker 2: Trump's just gonna tear their asses down too, So then 903 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 2: what Yeah, yeah, christ you gonna be Chris Christy be like, hey, 904 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 2: leave Nikki alone, motherfucker.

That's what's gonna happen. He's gonna lap 907 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 2: and that's all it's gonna happen. And the only thing 908 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 2: I can think of is that his ego like people 909 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 2: are gassing him up and he's on some Jimmy Butler 910 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 2: like revenge shit where he's like, I know I was humiliated, 911 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 2: but this time I'm. 912 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: Gonna go so hard I may be able to win. Yeah, 913 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 1: don't do that to Jimmy Butler. 914 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 2: Man, come, but you know what I mean, Like I 915 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 2: think he has I think he may have that in 916 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,959 Speaker 2: his mind, like he said he's gonna go so hard 917 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 2: this time that maybe he can win. Because that's the 918 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: one thing we've said, whoever, the person with the most 919 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 2: interesting chance is whoever can go the hardest that Trump. 920 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and none of them can do that, Christy. Maybe 921 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: people are theorizing he can. He cannot. He is not 922 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: built for it. But yeah, I mean, like the idea 923 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: that he will come in in the debate and like 924 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: take Trump down a notcher two is ridiculous because like 925 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: you know, the hit Trump supporters are not waiting for 926 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 1: the right piece of information to be revealed to then 927 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: like be like, oh, I guess we were wrong, Like 928 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,799 Speaker 1: that that's not the thing. But I don't doubt that 929 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: that could be like something that other candidates are hoping 930 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: will happen, because we've seen like misguided strategy political strategies 931 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: all the time. But the thing that makes it makes 932 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: me highly skeptical that he is like basically lead blocker 933 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 1: for DeSantis, Pence, Haley and others is that, like that 934 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: is just not how narcissistic megalomaniacs operate. Like he is 935 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: not doing this because he thinks it will benefit somebody else. 936 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 1: He is doing it because he thinks it will benefit him, 937 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 1: because he thinks he has an outside chance. 938 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,279 Speaker 4: I'm sure maybe maybe he'll get Rick Santaurum's chair on 939 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 4: CNN as the award for his. 940 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 1: And he's already on CNN. He already has everything want. 941 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 4: You must have to wonder that. I mean what I mean, 942 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 4: I guess he's going to raise some money. I mean 943 00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 4: it's this entirely quickxotic decision where they come from. And 944 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, the idea of him, well there's already 945 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 4: what you might in this scenario isn't very It looks 946 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 4: like there's a gigantic super pack already sent set up 947 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:14,280 Speaker 4: for him. So there's clearly the donor class thinks there's 948 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 4: something about him running that could help. I don't know 949 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 4: in what way, But I don't know. I mean, like 950 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,800 Speaker 4: I would, I don't know, it'd be interesting.
