1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,880 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 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really, what is something from your search 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: history that is revealing about who you are? I've looked 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: at why is t Rex the most famous dinosaur? Mm 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: hmmm do you guys? Does that even? Do you even 9 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: think about that? I didn't put it together until I 10 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: had read Oedipus Rex and then I was like, Oh, 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: that's what rex means. And then I don't know. Do 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: people just get lazy because like they just like like 13 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: a bout of them, like monarchical structures or something. I 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: guess from what I could from my limited research, because 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: I was looking at dinosaur names to try and add, 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: to learn how to spell them or to challenge other 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: people to spell them, and I it's widely regarded as 18 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: the most famous dinosaur. This is partly because it was 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: the very first large kind of dinosaur to be discovered, 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: and it was long believed to have been the largest 21 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: that ever lived. Another fact was that it was probably 22 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: the fascest meat eat that ever lived in. Another reason 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: is because possibly it was discovered in North America, and 24 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: it's North American heritage may explain its position as the 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: world's most famous dinosaur because you guys love growing on 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: about how you how you find dinosaurs and how great 27 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: everything is. Yeah. Well, and also, like, you know, the 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: American Empire is much more than the borders of the country, 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: Like we make all we were making nearly all the 30 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: entertainment at one point, so like we got everybody on 31 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: this diet of like, yeah, man, like fucking America. There's 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: something up over there. We just had. We just have 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: amazing pr you do. You've got a great PR machine, 34 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: although I will say that else do you appear to 35 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: be coming off slowly? Presently? They're loose? They're loose. Yeah, 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: what's the view? What's the view from down there? Mate? Honestly, 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: I watched the news in America. It looks like I 38 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: imagine the country is at a point when what would 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: traditionally happen when a country whips itself up into this 40 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: kind of state, is that America would say, do you 41 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: know what you guys need? Military? Yeah? Yeah, it is like, 42 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: is the coverage ever, like from the news like in 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: New Zealand sort of saying things like, you know, because 44 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: of America's rampant, unchecked racism. This is like a thing 45 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: like what's the sort of presentation of the unrest from 46 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, the perspective Zealand. It's it's hard to say, 47 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: because news you get, you guys get some you know, 48 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: you get a bit of coverage. But the news outlets 49 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: from which I'm I'm getting my information a global or 50 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: often they remain American because they seemed to be keyton 51 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: most of what's happening. The coverage is sort of like 52 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: my read on the coverage is sort of like, oh boy, 53 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: I can't believe I left America in December twent talk 54 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: about a stroke of luck. That's sort of my spin 55 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: on the coverage, right right right, because you know, I 56 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: came back independent of anything that was happening. And my 57 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: friends would say, wow, is it tough? Do you do 58 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: you regret it? And I say, do I regret leaving 59 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: New York City in December tween nineteen? I say, no, 60 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: that's what I say. The other thing that was cool 61 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: to see was, you know, in all over the country 62 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: or all over the world, there were countries having their 63 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: own marches for like in solidarity of black lives and 64 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: things like that, and I was very very touching to 65 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: see in New Zealand those happening. What is like, what's 66 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: sort of the thing that motivates you know? I think 67 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: every country has an aspect of dealing with some kind 68 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: of racism or whatever that essentially people were connecting to 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: it at any point. It wasn't just about narrowly this, 70 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people felt connected of 71 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: this feeling of you know, oppression, colonization and things like that, slavery. 72 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Is there something like you know, put me onto sort 73 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: of like what the temperature is in New Zealand that 74 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: you know obviously because you guys have your heads on 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: straight as people like what else was kind of motivating 76 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: people to go out there, And the marches initially were 77 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: in sort of just total solidarity. There was a big 78 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: from the organizers specifically, there was a considered effort to 79 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: not shift focus or kind of um use it as 80 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: a pivot point into local you know, local oppression. But 81 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: um there is also there's like there's a there's a 82 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: growing blank community in New Zealand. And then also traditionally 83 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: they're like, I mean, we we serve it from many 84 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: of the same problems on a much smaller scale in 85 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: terms of systemic oppression and a police force that you know, 86 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: disproportionately incarceraates pacifica and indigenous like Malti people in New Zealand. 87 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: And so I think middle New Zealand and sort of 88 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: you know that we don't really have these poles in 89 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: the way that America does politically, but middle to right 90 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: skewing New Zealand, I think we have this very we're 91 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: quite proud of this lacker days called like She'll be right, 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: aren't we lucky we're here and not there sort of approach, 93 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: And then beneath that there's an undercurrent of people saying, well, 94 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: it's very well for you to say that from inside 95 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: of the status quo, but this is not working for everyone. 96 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: And so I think it's just it's very clear even 97 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: from here that this is a moment in history, and 98 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: it's sort of like, you know, if you ever wondered 99 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: what you'd be doing when the worm turned, it's pretty 100 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: much what you're doing right now. And so I think 101 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: also because the um I mean yeah, I think also 102 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: because of relationship to COVID nineteen and how we sort 103 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: of have given it a bit of a spanking people 104 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: quite excitedly and confidently. We're like, well, what bitter way 105 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: to get out in the streets, you know, A fantastic cause, 106 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: Like on Sunday Sunday two weeks ago that I went 107 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: to the March Black Lives March and then which would 108 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: have been about six thousand people, and then into a 109 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: sports game with forty five thousand people and I thought, gee, 110 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: wods aren't we living? Yeah? Yeah, man, that's why they 111 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: even think that New Zealand March for Black Lives drew 112 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: nearly as many people as you know KKK Ploosa and Tulsa. 113 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: There was a big, big goal. We all sort of 114 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: had an email going around. We said, Liz le get 115 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: more people than Trump and Tulsa. Were you with the 116 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: K pop fans and the um of course tech talk 117 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: you guys? That was That was a separate but equally 118 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: important email thread. I sort of spearheaded both of the 119 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: threads I used. I used that traditional chainmail approach where 120 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 1: I say, ford this to tend people or your crash 121 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: work't like you back, and you'd be surprised how that 122 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: mobilizes people, how effective that still is df to come 123 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: through on the internet. Man, finally, what is a myth? 124 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: He's what is something people think it's true, you know, 125 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: to be false service versa.

There are some podcasters who are like, yeah, man, 138 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm liking the remote. I like it better and it's cool. 139 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: But as a performer, the energy of being in the room, 140 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: uh doing this, I I miss it. I think it 141 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: is better. And when we are able to get back 142 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: in studio.

So I 148 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a myth or not, but you know, 149 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: if you're thinking that, I just want to debunk from 150 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: my own opinion that I think UH podcasting should be 151 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: done as much as possible face to face in person. Yeah, 152 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: and I think there's probably there probably is a myth 153 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: like I've kind of forgotten that they're doing it remotely 154 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: or at least that there is a quality different, you know, 155 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: because like that's what I've just been listening to for 156 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: the past few months. But yeah, I definitely think things 157 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: will I don't know that there's like a you know, 158 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: a ten to fifteen percent diminishment of like the energy 159 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: and the timing and stuff like that that I think 160 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: And just from a yeah, from this side of the equation, 161 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: it's definitely I definitely miss being in the same room 162 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: with you guys. He just miss he misses you, Miles, 163 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: he misses you. He wants to and I miss I missed, 164 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, getting obsessed like looking at his sweat stains 165 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: and getting distracted by the record. I know he's and 166 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: I but the thing is, I know Jack is comfortable 167 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: right now wearing his gene cut offs because he's a 168 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: never nude like Tobias fu kuh. But it is true, 169 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: like there is something. Yeah, there's just an energy. And 170 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: obviously we are consummate professionals, so people didn't even know, Oh, 171 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: we're not in the same room. But that's because we're 172 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: having a we're digging deep to give you guys that energy. 173 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: But like the first first three weeks, I it was 174 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: so disorienting on top of trying to process everything that 175 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: was going on. But yeah, I think to your point, 176 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: like I think there will be so much more laughter, 177 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: um like in light when people are back in the room, 178 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: because you know, even like comedy podcasts, like it's easy 179 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: to still have fun and things like that, but like 180 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: when when funny people are all in the room together, 181 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: it's a completely different experience. And yeah, for sure, I 182 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: definitely missed that. I Mean, one thing I don't miss 183 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: is you know what I'm saying. Listen, you know, all 184 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: podcasts great, but you know, we do. I have been 185 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: liking the fact that only I have been using this 186 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: mic that I've been using for the past four months. 187 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Sometimes you get up on 188 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: knees Mike's after somebody else used it. You gotta spread 189 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: them bad boys now with you know, some glade spray 190 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: or something. So you know it's called lab you know. 191 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: So I do, I do. I'm not missing that. I'm 192 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: not missing you know, the multiple Mike used, especially once 193 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: we get back in after the COVID ship. You know, 194 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: I think that's why it that's the next step, you know, 195 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: because even the day we all had to shut our 196 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: offices down, we knew nothing is going to be the 197 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: same when we come back. And I think even like 198 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: to these points, like I think we're gonna be learned 199 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: to be more efficient, like with our time, like in 200 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: how we work and what the things are that, like 201 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: how we do things in studio with Mikes and keeping 202 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: things cleaner, because it's wild, I think the longest time, 203 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: because of relatively low incidences of pandemics like this, it's 204 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: just been like yeah, man, no, sanitary No, sanitary guidelines 205 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: is fine, Like we're just kind of rocking like that 206 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: for fifty years or whatever. Uh and now people, I 207 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: just glad. I'm glad that there's like sense now because 208 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: rather than people being like, okay, germaphobe when you would 209 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: like wipe some ship down at the grocery store, before this, 210 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: it's like no, it's standard now, Like yeah, what were 211 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: we thinking, like we should actually just keep things as 212 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: clean as possible. Yep, you know what's gonna happen now. 213 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: We're all gonna live to a hundred now after you know, 214 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: once the past, and we're gonna be stuck in our 215 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: relationships even longer now. Not right like birthday in Korea 216 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: that the mask wearing is much more normalized because of 217 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: having gone through sorrows. So I'm hoping that kind of 218 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: carries over in America. Now, Mama, do what do you 219 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: think is something that is overrated? Something that's overrated? Wow, 220 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm about to make it kind of hot. I don't 221 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: know how I think about it. What we love? It's 222 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: cold in here. You can turn up, you can turn 223 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: it up a little bit. I think I think I 224 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: know it's unteen. This is gonna catch me some flak, 225 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: but like I think, I think chocolate is overrated. Oh, 226 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: the silence is that we're gonna do. He's gonna be 227 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: a mature like that. I think chocolate is overrated. Oh 228 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: just okay, look present your case, my hunter. Thank you gladly. 229 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: I just don't think it's as popping as people make 230 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: it out to be. And that and I'm not saying that. 231 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: I think that, Like, there's definitely tough industrial complex in 232 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: there too, holidays and chocolate, right, there's other stuff that's 233 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: also good. And I think that because you're like looking 234 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: at a chocolate woman right now. So it's yeah, and 235 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: the thing, and that's the thing I'm Scarry's saying. I'm 236 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: not saying that you're not a sweet person. I'm just 237 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: saying that chocolate has been treated as the sweetest thing 238 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: in the world for two Arguably is I just I'm 239 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: I'm fluxed, and it's arguably is that's the thing. And 240 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: also to your point, is arguably isn't. So it's I 241 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: don't think it's as popping as it should be. And 242 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: for me personally, and again he asked me, I just 243 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: want to be clear what I just know you can 244 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: have that opinion. I mean, it's just like how Donald 245 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: Trump stares directly into the sun and tries to fight it, 246 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, during a clinse, Like you can fight anything, 247 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: So if you want to fight, you can fight the sun. 248 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: You know.

So he had the designation of Nana, so 285 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: he was called Nana Dave. He was like this, yes, 286 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: and they had not he had this Ghanaian wife. They 287 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: are they are full out kne like you know, because 288 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: that's a very Ghanaian thing, like they're a kintay cloth. 289 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: And I saw this, I was like, are you for 290 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm like this Canadian okay, I mean he's out here, 291 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: he's like building a hotel and like trying to do 292 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: something like and live in the community.

The Teddy Roosevelt's White Man 335 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: on Top statue is going to be taken down outside 336 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: of the Natural History Museum, which is, you know, again, 337 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: depending on what side of whether or not you like racism, 338 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: you'll have an opinion on that. But the statue itself, 339 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: I remember seeing it was like, wait, it's a like 340 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: a indigenous person and a black person on either side 341 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: of the horse, and he's a okay, well that's an 342 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: interesting message. So that statue has a planned retirement. And 343 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: then even like the ice cream, the Eskimo pie will 344 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: no longer be branded as such. I think Dryers is 345 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: the parent company. They're doing away with that. And if 346 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: you want like a Sports Center style recap of white 347 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: supremacy in full panic, just watch Fox News because like 348 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: they almost kick off like every hour with like an 349 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: Eskimo pie. Now it's like they have like this like 350 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: weird they always tune in with what what fucking company 351 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: woke up today? I guess, uh sort of guffying, um. 352 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: And now you know, Columbus, it's their turn for the 353 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: woke armies of Satan to put their attention upon this name. 354 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: But I think it's it's hard to say, like you're 355 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: gonna just completely rename a city because it's the capital, 356 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: it's like the largest city in the state. There's a 357 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: lot of signs are gonna have to come down. Um. 358 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: But there is a petition right now to have the 359 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: city renamed after a true son of Columbus, Guy Fieri, 360 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: but changed their name to Flavor Town. And I obviously 361 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: that's a good call. I think for now. It's funny 362 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: if it gets over the lad right now, because you know, 363 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: I mean, it's good marketing, isn't it. Everyone's gonna want 364 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: to go to flavor Town, and then what's it holds 365 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: if it's a place at of it somehow? You know, 366 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: sometimes people name these interim things and then they don't 367 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: get around to getting changed. Fifties, sixties, seventy eighty years 368 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: from now, you know, a whole new generation we'll get 369 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: to learn. But this place is called flavor Town to 370 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: the great Guy Fieri, right, yeah, absolutely, I don't know. 371 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean the again, this is the thing that we 372 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: were talking about even last week when there were talks 373 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: of like what do you do with Nathaniel Bedford forests, 374 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, statue in the Tennessee capital, Like do you 375 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: put up people like Dolly Parton because that's a Tennessee 376 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: and people you're proud of. But honestly, I think if 377 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna be corrective, you need to put up representations 378 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: of the antithesis of what that former offensive form stood for. 379 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: So if you have someone that is a colonizer, then 380 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: you have to you need to actually set that balance 381 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: off by now enshrining somebody who is about liberation um 382 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: and things like that. I think just as a one 383 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: to one, because it could be easy to just be like, yeah, 384 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: that would be fun. Let's just replace it with something meaningless. 385 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: But I think just for the the ability for a 386 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: dominant culture to enshrine some of their worst people. Uh, 387 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: and we're trying to actually have some kind of sea change, 388 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: then do the right thing and actually let's celebrate people 389 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: that are we're doing that, we're doing the things that 390 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: are getting us towards the future we're trying to envision. 391 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: I would suggest naming it after a Native American word, 392 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: but that there's no American towns named after a Native 393 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: American word, so that would be just all of them, 394 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: all of them, like so many of them. Yeah, I 395 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: would I would agree, was there what what's the plan 396 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: for the statues? Are they going to get melted down? Like? 397 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: The things I would wonder about is is there a 398 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: place for you know, education through the horrors of the 399 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: people who have been deified and put up in these statues. 400 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: Is it worth creating essentially a you know, a museum 401 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: of horrors where you essentially advertise them with plaques which 402 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: actually detail what they did instead of sort of you know, like, 403 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: is there a revision assistory version of it where we say, 404 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: these are the statues, this is what they actually like, 405 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: here's what they represented is what they actually did instead 406 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: of just trying to sort of sid a ranger approach 407 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: of saying no, no, no, everything's been hunky dorry here 408 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: since don't one. I mean, how do you how do 409 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,239 Speaker 1: you actually, you know, what's the proper course correction in 410 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: terms of re educating ourselves and future generations on this stuff. 411 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: I think that's sort of the you know, long term 412 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: discussion about you know, clearly right now, the what the 413 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: last few weeks have established that there's an appetite for 414 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: some level of equilibrium on some whether that's you know, 415 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: I think for people like us, we're talking about full 416 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: on you know, revamping, dismantling of these these systems of oppression. 417 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: That's the only way. I think that's the only way 418 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: we can truly move towards any semblance of equality. But again, 419 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: this is a slow moving machine, um and I think 420 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: those steps are gonna have they're gonna take they're gonna 421 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 1: take time, but we have to keep the pressure on. 422 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: And essentially, yes, there is going to have to be 423 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: some kind of like Truth and Reconciliation committee something where 424 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: America as a whole, like through our educations like that, 425 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: we are officially taking the time to like be like, 426 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 1: we really need to sit down with what happened before 427 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: you were born. You know, I remember what the momentum 428 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: was your life carried into this moment because it's off 429 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: the it's off the back of a lot of blood. Um, 430 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: and we were just we just did a really good 431 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: job of doing the thing of like, well that's not 432 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: actually yes, I think my parents sucks, but I don't 433 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: want to think about it because it's my parent, you know, 434 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: and they gave me life or whatever. But sometimes you 435 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: have to be like, yo, this this parent is a 436 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: straight up piece of shit. Um, But it's okay because 437 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm not a piece of ship, and all I can 438 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: do is at the very least acknowledge what a piece 439 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: of ship looks like. So we no longer have more 440 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: pieces of ship out here running things. Yeah. I do 441 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: really like the idea. I mean, all all of the 442 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: really rich, fascinating cultures and uh intricate histories that were 443 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: just completely wiped out by these assholes. Uh there, there's 444 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: you could fill all every square foot of America with 445 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: testaments to that stuff, and that is way more interesting 446 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: than the version of history that they give kids currently. Um. 447 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean like, it's almost like you could 448 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: do a series and maybe we should not include this, 449 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: but I honestly think if you did a podcast that 450 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: was about your city and it was a true crime 451 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: podcast of how fucked your city has been that you 452 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: don't know about, people would just have their minds blown. 453 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: And people didn't know that like in Pasadena, like black 454 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: people couldn't like own property there to like the sixties, 455 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And then people look at 456 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: Pasadena now like, oh, it's so many like liberal, you know, 457 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: white people. But again we have to remember like what 458 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: liberal means versus like progressive or leftist or someone who 459 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: was actually fighting for equality, because liberal just means like 460 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: you're willing to stomach a certain level of white supremacy 461 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: until a point. Miles Jack, can I tell you that 462 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: I am so fucking tired. Yeah, we do this every 463 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: two years. This every two years. Um, this one felt 464 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: different for a second. We'll see what happens. So fucking tired, man, Um, 465 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: It's it's just it's always black folks getting murdered. Queer folks. 466 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: Maybe we don't have rights all of a sudden, and 467 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: we don't know. And and then and this time we 468 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: got lucky because this bunch of assholes decided that we 469 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: get to have rights. A couple of weeks ago, Uh, 470 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: women are are talking about all the stuff that happened 471 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: in the workplace.

Yes, and that was the currency. And 502 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have a lot to 503 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: reckon with back then. And I think a lot of 504 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: us have moved on from that because we recognize that 505 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: was shitty and awful and lazy and lazy, not because 506 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: I think jokes about race that's like the boss level 507 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: of humor and irony. If you can craft actually accurate, 508 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: eloquent humor or jokes around race, it's not easy, and 509 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people just do the thing. 510 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: We're like, dude, I'm just pointing out that that's racist, 511 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 1: and we're laughing that that thing is racist, and that's lazy, 512 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: versus crafting some kind of joke that actually goes deeper 513 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: than saying racism exists and actually, you know, exposing the 514 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: psyche of the kinds of people who engage in it. 515 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: Those are the jokes I find myself. They're almost like 516 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: the kind of jokes you don't laugh because they're so 517 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: really just go whoa, well, yeah. It's like there's a 518 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: huge difference between like, oh, well, you guys are just 519 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: supposed to know that I did this thing like the 520 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: Sarah Silverman show. You guys are just supposed to know 521 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: it was ironic artie. Is that how jokes work? Um, 522 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: Because if it's not funny and whatever, it doesn't communicate 523 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: the idea. Um. So it's And that was even in 524 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: the two thousand's, This was like too recent. And I'm 525 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: not saying I have opinions about a cancel about council 526 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: culture that I I don't think it fucking exists. First 527 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: of all, I think usually the people who were like 528 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: oh we canceled blah blah blah, we got them out 529 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: of here. It's kids, man being stupid and wanted to 530 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: spread memes on on your on your Twitter hash checks, 531 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: on your on your tiktoks on what the kids are doing. 532 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: Most people who are genuinely thoughtful people are not going 533 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: around being like we canceled this, unless they're joking. Um, 534 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: it's not about cancel culture. It's about like, Yo, you 535 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: did this thing, fucking own up to it, learn and 536 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: move on. And I think that when people are able 537 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: depending on what they did, because some ship it's like 538 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: like you raped a bunch of kids. You don't maybe 539 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: you get to just be in jail forever. Um. But 540 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: I do think that there is uh a space for 541 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: people to learn and grow. But I also think that 542 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: like you should probably more than just erasing the ship 543 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: that you did, uh, acknowledge the learning and growing. Yeah, 544 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: or realize yo, actually need to sub myself out and 545 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: I need sub somebody else. In In capitalism, we are 546 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: all just fucking ponds, dude. Like it's how much money 547 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: we can make this person or that person or whatever. 548 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: If you don't make the money, that's when you get 549 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: quote unquote canceled because they're like, well, we can't make 550 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: money off of you anymore, so we're just gonna move 551 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: you off the board. And everyone has a right to 552 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: say what they will or will not support monetarily, and 553 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff I see that's anti cancel 554 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: culture is very much like, well, you have to support me, 555 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: or you have to support this, not No, I don't 556 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: support anything that with with my money and my resources. 557 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: That's trash. And that's why companies say like we don't 558 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: want to work with anyone anymore, because it's all it's 559 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: capitalism all the way down. Jane Krakowski said anything about 560 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: being in black face? Does she have a Twitter account? 561 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: Or even though what are they like is she absolved 562 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: because she didn't write it and she's merely like the 563 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: actor because I'm curious to here too, Like it's not 564 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, on some level, as a performer, you get 565 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: the script and you're looking at you're like, wait, I'm 566 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,239 Speaker 1: doing black face in this episode, and you'ther like oh 567 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm oh my god, Oh I'm god, I love it. 568 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 1: It's going to be so funny, lo lo lo. Or 569 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: did she feel really uncomfortable and just felt that societally, 570 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: she wasn't you know, we weren't out of place where 571 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: she could speak up and advocate on behalf of you know, 572 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: other people. Like it's I'm interesting to see all those 573 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: levels because on you know, it's not just Tina Fey, like, 574 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: it's also the actor who then embodies the script and 575 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: goes out there. And I get it, you have contracts 576 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: and things like that, but I'm just curious to know 577 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: what they're feeling, what like, what their thought processes in 578 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: this moment looking back, wheen Tina Fey seems to be 579 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: getting a lot of the headlines well, and and honestly 580 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: she should be, as it was her show, she should be. Um, yeah, absolutely, 581 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. I'm just feel like she has 582 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: to account. I'm just curious what that experience is like 583 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: for her. I wonder, well, because it's, oh god, it's 584 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: like speaking up about anything else. Right, There's a possibility 585 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: that she went in and said I am really uncomfortable 586 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: with this, or I guess at that point how her 587 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: management come in and say we're really uncomfortable with this, 588 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: and then someone smoothed it over and says no, like 589 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: this is the intent. It's totally gonna be fine. We've 590 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: been doing this forever. We know what the line is 591 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: and we know that this isn't okay. And um, also, 592 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: she is a very talented actress and she is really 593 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: funny in that show. Name me major roles that she 594 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: has done that hasn't been Tina fe Ali mcbeil tight, 595 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: name me major role? Well, no, no, no, And I 596 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: think that's great. But like that's where she I don't know, no, no, no, no, 597 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: you're right, but like name me in the last like 598 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: those were her things and she you know, we and 599 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,959 Speaker 1: it does. It sucks, man, but it's you hit your 600 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: wagon to a star and it's kind of like this 601 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: has taking me to a certain point. And this was 602 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: even she wasn't even originally cast for that role that 603 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: was supposed to be Um, what's about? Sorry, I can't 604 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: think of names right now. My Rachel Rachel Dratch um 605 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: in the pilot that was Rachel Dratch and I wound 606 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: up being her. And I don't even, man, I don't 607 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: know how much people get paid. I'm sure that it's 608 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: more than I make. But it's also Jane Crisons, like 609 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: she's not bowling over Hollywood and get him a lot 610 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: of work. That is one of those things where it's 611 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: like this might be my one not to last me 612 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 1: the rest of my life. She was a woman who 613 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: was not young. Um, and that makes a difference. And 614 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't excuse it, but to me it makes more 615 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: of a like it's not exactly like she could go 616 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: and make a commiserate like when when I talk about 617 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: people who work at d O J and people who 618 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: work at the White House and other stuff, you would 619 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: go to a law office and make that money. You 620 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: could go to other places. Yeah, it's not the prestige, 621 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: it's not the White House, but you can make that 622 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: money elsewhere. I don't Again, what is is she going 623 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: to work at her check? Like, what's she gonna do? 624 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: There's no place for an actor or actor performer, you know, 625 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: to go and just say like, well here's my resume, okay, 626 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: so can I get this you know, acting teacher gig 627 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: at this high school. Like because the industry is dominated 628 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: by this singular way of thinking and a very homogeneous 629 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: culture that is running it at the top. That yeah, 630 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,479 Speaker 1: like that's the other thing again that to this point 631 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: of like that has to be addressed to and broken 632 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: up because that's the same thing. Yeah, and even like 633 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: with when uh, you know, Jon Stewart was talking about 634 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: like the writer's room practices in the Daily Show sort 635 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: of like we didn't, you know, we removed, you know, 636 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: any kind of names that would signify like gender or 637 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: race or anything like that. So we're just going off 638 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: the work. But at a certain point, because everybody's thinking 639 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: the same, you're just gonna agree with everything that's reflecting 640 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: your shared worldview and it's never going to challenge you. 641 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: And then you're like, wait, how did we end up 642 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: like this? And who is getting let into Harvard? And 643 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: who has money to do UCB and who has money 644 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: to do these unpaid internships where they can learn how 645 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: to write things, and who has blab the thing from 646 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: I really like Tina Fey's Bossy Pants memoir, But there's 647 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: this past where she talks about like it's like a joke, 648 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,479 Speaker 1: a sentence. She's like a very funny writer. But there's 649 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: this passage where she writes about how she constructs a 650 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: writer's room, and she literally says half of the people 651 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: have to be from Harvard and the other half of 652 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: the people need to be from Second City or UCB, 653 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,959 Speaker 1: it's just like, well, there's your problem, and then one 654 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: screwball and one wacky one who does the jokes that 655 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: you say, we don't do that. But I'm gonna say 656 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: this right now. I have been doing comedy. Okay, I've 657 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: been taking a way back. I've been acting for basically 658 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: all of my life, Like I mean student stuff, uh, 659 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: high school stuff, whatever, But I've been acting for most 660 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: of my life. Um, I have been doing stand up 661 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: for gosh, I don't know, over a decade. I have 662 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: been in l a UM for what six seven years, 663 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 1: and then when I first got here, I was doing, um, 664 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of temp work and whatever. This is gonna 665 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: sound shitty, but it is true. I am, I have 666 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: a TV gig. I am working on TV, and it's 667 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: very recent. I have just now gotten to the point 668 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: where I could afford a fucking UCB class. That's stupid, No, 669 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: that's fucking stupid, And and my college is obviously like 670 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: that stuff is also trash that I can't afford to 671 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: pay for. But um, at least, I mean it's all ship, 672 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: but at least those were loans before and I'm not 673 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: even kidding, before I got booked on a TV gig 674 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: as a writer and to do voice over. I could 675 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 1: not afford a UCB class, right, trash man, Yeah, the 676 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: only way I could. Like when I just got in 677 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: getting into comedies, when I left politics and I just 678 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: had to save a ton of money because I was like, man, 679 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: I was just looking at these classes. I'm like, what 680 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: the fund is this? Like I gotta pay six hundred 681 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 1: bucks for some guy who I don't think it's funny 682 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: to tell me how to write, but ever fucking funny, right, 683 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I guess I know, but I know 684 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: the game now and I could write a great game sketch. 685 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: But also like when you have of the other thing 686 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: is too like you get instructors there who like don't 687 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: understand your humor and shift on you or their their 688 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: critiques of your work has a dampening effect on your 689 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: creativity rather than like being an actual nurturer, like as 690 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,439 Speaker 1: a teacher. And then it's you know, there's so many 691 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: levels to where there are a lot of cultural mismatches 692 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: in comedy where people are like telling groups of people 693 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: that that's not funny or this isn't as funny that, 694 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: but yet it's it's tough at theater school. And this 695 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: was I mean, granted, this was a long time ago. 696 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,919 Speaker 1: I won't say how long, but I I would get 697 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: notes because I was the only black person in my 698 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: theater class. I would get notes that would be like 699 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: too urban to this, to that, like why are you 700 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,720 Speaker 1: this urban? Why are you this that? Or whatever? Um 701 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: and from what and I get I've never I will 702 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: say this, I have never experienced working at Second City 703 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: or UCB. But for things I've heard from other people, 704 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 1: it's only been very recently where they've been like, oh, yeah, 705 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: I guess you're all black team, can like do a 706 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: herald or whatever. I guess, Like it's valid and you 707 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: don't have to blank yourself totally out because when they say, 708 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: and this was an experience I hadn't been for school, 709 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: they say, to make yourself neutral. Neutral is white. Neutral 710 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: is not any anything else. Neutral is get rid of everything. 711 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: That's excuse me, Oh god, I'm burping up coffee every Like. 712 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: Neutral is not The default is white. And that is 713 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: what is taught in schools is that you that is 714 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: your default is you have to talk this way, you 715 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: have to whatever, like you have to a Midwestern accent, 716 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: you have to be okay with straightening your hair, and 717 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: like some things are like okay, like tattoos, whatever, I 718 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: pierce things. Okay, I get it, those things are optional. 719 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: But yeah, who you are as a human being, you're 720 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: as a human being. Yeah, but that that is the expectation. 721 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: If you want to get ahead, you have to be neutral, 722 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: and being neutral means being white, right, And I think 723 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 1: I think this goes back to how at every level, 724 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: no matter where someone is, that you have opportunities to 725 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: correct the course of these kinds of things. Like if 726 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: you find yourself as a teacher, think of your curriculum 727 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 1: and what you are, what you're communicating to your students, 728 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: or if you work somewhere and you know that there's 729 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: a way for you to change something where you work 730 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: to actually address this problem. Like let's say just say, 731 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: well we don't we don't get a lot of black 732 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: people who apply for the job. It's probably because you 733 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: don't post your job anywhere either, and it could be 734 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: so insular that your job is strictly through word of mouth, 735 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: and because of that, you've completely cut off people who 736 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: are not in your social group or socio economic class. 737 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: That's there are things like that just very subtle things 738 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,959 Speaker 1: you could look at that are very telling and people 739 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: can actually do little things like do that work? Do 740 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: you pay for your internships? And if you do, what 741 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: colleges are you looking through? Are you just looking for 742 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: colleges or are you also looking um? There are very 743 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: talented people in all things like it would it be 744 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: possible for people to say, I want to do an 745 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: internship and yet, um, maybe I did community college, but 746 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,399 Speaker 1: I haven't done I'm not at Harvard like maybe i've 747 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: done or even um, I've written this many articles that 748 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: have been published, or I've written these things. I can 749 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: show you my work. Yeah, I didn't get into Yale, 750 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: but like I because for some of this, I'm sorry 751 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 1: man for comedy writing. You gotta go to fucking Yale. Man, 752 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You don't. You don't. You don't need to 753 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,240 Speaker 1: be in the lampoon. We're not splitting like an atom's here. Man, 754 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be 755 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: right back. And we're back real quick. I don't think 756 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: we got a chance to talk about They looked at 757 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: the security tape. They checked the receipts on that cop 758 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: who uh said there was a tampon places, uh, frappuccino uh, 759 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: and there's nothing that that didn't happen. Um, So it 760 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: seems like the police are really out of touch with 761 00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: the wonders of video, Like the fucking that was not real. 762 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: I thought the tampon bab fucking near with his flo 763 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: paccino was the real story and that's not. Oh god, 764 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: then who so are people being mean two cops? I 765 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: don't get it. It's all these stories are so incredible 766 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,720 Speaker 1: because it is watching like watching law enforcement officials essentially 767 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: right fan fake of their own persecution in real time 768 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: is an incredible exercise to see, Okay, what would be 769 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: the most egregious Well, I guess a tampon? What would 770 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: a guy like me get it? I guess I would 771 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: get a frappuccino place and like just kind of the 772 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: A two B two see and and you know, historically, um, 773 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: Starbucks has uh less we forget, has perpetuated a lot 774 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: of fake anti police violence. When the when the young 775 00:42:54,680 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: lady wrote pig on the guy's cup exactly self harm. 776 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: That's all you know, is this self harm. They're truly 777 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: just a vile group, you know what I mean. Like 778 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: and then when you look broadly at the conservative movement 779 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 1: against Starbucks killing Christmas with their like not putting crosses 780 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: on their Christmas cups. It's it's like a lesser version 781 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 1: of that, but it's still the same sort of idea 782 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: that like, you can get everybody outraged by claiming Starbucks 783 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 1: is attacking you. Yeah, well, I like the morals to 784 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 1: actually follow through on any of like their supposed boycotts 785 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: or anything, because at the end of the day, their 786 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: their brains are fully fucked off consumer culture. Like there's 787 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: no way that they're like, yeah, you know what, I've 788 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 1: really thought about my place in this consumer cycle, and 789 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: actually giving my money to Starbucks isn't what I want. 790 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: Aside from them destroying Christmas, I just think as an enterprise, 791 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: it's probably not a good idea for me to participate. 792 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: It's not that's not what it is. It's just pump faking. 793 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 1: That's all these people do, Just a pump fake. I'm 794 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: I won't go, Okay, then don't fuck you. We're doing 795 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 1: the same thing. And watch they still go and they 796 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,240 Speaker 1: shut the funk up, and now they're just we'll not alright, 797 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 1: pig on my own cup. Okay, idiot, you're still here 798 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: and you gave them your money, you fucking dummy. Now 799 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: we're getting this news in just now, but from the 800 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: at Starbucks official account, they've announced that the new holiday 801 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: cups will be cops on their coups. They're gonna put 802 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: cops in Santa outfits on their holiday cups, making everybody happy. 803 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 1: Oh man, just saying pop pop po down the speaking 804 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 1: of front row seat. Uh So, I did just want 805 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: to do this quick guessing game of what do you 806 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: think the classic movie is that has topped the box 807 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: office at like drive through movie theaters? And I will 808 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 1: just say that I think it. I think it would 809 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: be a fun movie to watch at a drive through. 810 00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: I I'm trying to think of what I've seen it 811 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: is for, because I know, like in l A, I've 812 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: seen the older movies. I've seen them advertise have been 813 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 1: um like one was et and another was like, p 814 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 1: it is some another eighties movie? It's it? What decade 815 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: is it? From? Nineties? Oh? Nineties? Movie is okay? I 816 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: have I have a thought. I have a thought. Yeah, 817 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: is an Independence Days? What do you say? I'm again no, no. 818 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: So the reason I think it's kind of appropriate is 819 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: because a lot of the movie takes place in a 820 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: parked car or parked cars.

And I'm like, that's why I have 834 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 1: all the albums I will ever want to listen to 835 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: on vinyl, where I will never on the c D. 836 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: I can always have this ship on I don't give 837 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: a funk. There can be no electricity. I can hand 838 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 1: crank that ship and put my ear nears the needle 839 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: and I can still hear j Dilla. So there's ship 840 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: like that where like this feels like that world where 841 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 1: our technology has ceased. So then all we can do 842 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 1: is just completely go retrospective now with all the media 843 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: we can do, and it's like, all right, yeah, get 844 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 1: ready for the re release of Babs. Alright, but act 845 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 1: like you wouldn't see Baps in a drive through saw Babs. 846 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 1: I've saw Baps in the theater, okay, and I know 847 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: I have that ticket stuff somewhere I saw at the 848 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: AMC North. Whatever happened to the short Chubby one, It's fine, 849 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: we'll talk about this. Other are yeah, Justice, mhmm. But 850 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: the top ten is Jurassic Park, Jaws at number two, 851 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 1: then The Invisible Man. So there's like some newer movies, 852 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: Trolls World Tour at number four, The Hunt, which is 853 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: I think a movie I think that was like not 854 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: no one cared that the controversy was more than the 855 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: movie was worth. Oh that's right, that's right, it was. 856 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 1: Remember I think it was both maybe then Back to 857 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 1: the Future and then uh a new movie followed, then 858 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: E T and Jumanji, then the Goonies. It's like my 859 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 1: favorite movies A lot of yeah, a lot of them 860 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: were released kind of around vaguely this week. Um So, 861 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are like, well, it's 862 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,879 Speaker 1: not necessarily an anniversary that you care about. But it's 863 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: because I think Back to the Future was released around 864 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: thirty five years ago. It makes sense. I think the 865 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 1: first I don't know, man, you can't quote me, but 866 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: I think it was released like like there is close 867 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: enough to an anniversary where things are like, it's back 868 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 1: to the Future, man, we'll just do it.
