Do I go out with this guy who 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: I met outside of food truck one night, you know, 23 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: at a bar, or do I play a game of 24 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: Dresser Roulette where I go through my phone and text 25 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: the last ten romantic interest? Will you help me build 26 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: an Ikea Dresser? It took this this was like a 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: three episode long saga and it ended with me having 28 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: to call a task rabbit who came over and I 29 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: saw in the task rabbits bio that he was a 30 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: fire performer. And Yeah, and I asked him about and 31 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,279 Speaker 1: he goes, I could pretty safely set you on fire, 32 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: and I was like, you mean like at a comedy show, 33 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: and he goes yeah, and I was like in an 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: episode is born. Yeah, and so yeah, so that was 35 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: one of the options. So the next episode was called 36 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: this is fire or this is us. Do I let 37 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: this guy set me on fire at an outdoor comedy show, 38 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: or do I become a tour guide for the TV 39 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: show this is us, and I am officially a tour 40 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: guide for that show. Wait, what does that mean? What 41 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: does that mean? I found it in backstage magazine. I 42 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: was just looking up like Oh, what can I do? 43 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: This week because I always wanted to be something kind 44 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: of interesting or just have some kind of stakes involved, 45 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: and I said we're seeking people in L A to take, 46 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: you know, tourists to different locations. It would be me, basically, yes, exactly, 47 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: being like this is where the Crock pop blew up. 48 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: A spoiler, spoiler. Yeah, yeah, I mean spoiler. That's when 49 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: they die. That's when we find out, isn't is that 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: when the DAD dies? That's actually an Air Fryer. I'm 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: still on the second episode. Oh God. I started watching 52 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: because too many people are like Yo, it's so emotionally manipulative. 53 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, let me see this, and I'm like, Oh, 54 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: it's underscored with every scene as delicate piano music. And 55 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: I keep telling people that like every every episode has 56 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: at least one monologue based on whatever object is writing 57 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: in front of them. You know, like you guys could 58 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: be like some say a life is like a hat. 59 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: Put It on and you know the day is going 60 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: to go well, but sometimes you can't find your hat 61 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: and that's when you lose God or something and that's 62 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: when your dad yeah, exactly, and that's when your crop 63 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: pop blows up. Is that? What is he in the 64 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: middle of a monologue about crop pops being like life 65 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: when it blows up and kills him. No like that. 66 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: It's a little more dramatic. There is a scene they 67 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: do that with Nachos and I knew it was coming. 68 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm watching the scene and it's, you know, a couple 69 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: late at night, their marriage isn't going while they're eating Nachos, 70 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: and then woman goes you know, life is like a 71 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: plate of Nachos, and I'm like no, I'm starting again. 72 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: I could feel it coming on and she was like 73 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: sometimes you get the top Nacho that has a lot 74 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: of cheese on it and then there's the Middle Nacho 75 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: and that's fine. Sometimes you just get the crumbles and 76 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't want the crumbles in this marriage. Right if 77 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: we both preak up a Nacho that's connected at the 78 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: same time, I want to figure out how to equitably 79 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: split that Nacho and not have it be this passive, 80 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: aggressive push pull back and forth over who will get 81 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: the NACHO. That stuff. Oh my God, there's just a 82 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: writer in the writer's room like how are we going 83 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: to work in Guacamole? I have to figure out everything. 84 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going to play whack a mole with the 85 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: relationships and our problems like a bowl of whack a mole. Okay, 86 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: I think it's wild wind. Shows have those tropes that 87 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: are predictable, because my wife, Her Majesty, uh, the one 88 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: that is alive, uh, she watches like gray's anatomy, and 89 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: every time, like I sit down and watch, I'm like, 90 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: there's always like a seemingly regular thing and then they're 91 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: like like a pregnant woman is like, I gotta go 92 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: to the hospital. Then it's like a car accident over 93 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, like it always has these weird steaks 94 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: where she'll even call it. She's like watch, this person 95 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: is probably gonna die like inexplicably in three seconds. And 96 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: then they do, and I'm like and then they tie 97 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: it up with the monologue at the end. Yeah, yeah, man, sorry, 98 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: distracted for the past fifteen minutes just thinking about how 99 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: much is like in so many different ways. Wait, what 100 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: are the significant locations like when you go on this tour? 101 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: So well, she so she sent me the list of locations, 102 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: some of which are I told her I would keep 103 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: it confidential. Well, I guess I have to keep confidential 104 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: where they are exactly, but it would be, like, you know, 105 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: this is where someone's offices or this is like, because 106 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: how serious? Right, yes, exactly it would be. It's going 107 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: to be a lot of time in a hot car, probably, right, 108 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: and you should definitely go on the tour.

It turns out she's a teenager. Right, I 171 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: haven't seen it. What. What? What does the what's the 172 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: character's function to the narrative that she's the protagonist? Ever 173 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: heard of that? Because I haven't taken your class, so 174 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't know fancy script words like that. You mean character, 175 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: m why haven't you taken my class? Canto? That's in Canto. 176 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: So she's yeah, yeah, she's she's sorry, you're watching with 177 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: your old uncle. Which one's Incanto? Oh, got it, got it, 178 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: got it. So wait. So is it sort of vague 179 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: if you're like because she straddles like this sort of 180 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: age group, you're like, are you looking at this as 181 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: an adult or a child? That's not even important to 182 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: the story. I was just I always, you know, do 183 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: my recap and I wanted to like accurately say like Oh, 184 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: because we meet her when she's like a child, at 185 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: the very beginning, and then I was like flash forward 186 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: to her as and I wasn't sure if I should 187 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: say a teenager or adult. Got It, got it, got it. 188 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: So this is all very like. It's not super important 189 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: to the story how old she is. I just like 190 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: to be as accurate as possible. I love accuracy exactly, 191 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: and we just revealed something about who you are. You 192 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: respect accuracy. You're not here just throwing out concepts. Exactly. 193 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: She's a she's like yeah, flash forward to her in 194 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: an older vibe. And but I do do that sometimes, 195 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: because sometimes the right exactly you can think of a 196 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: good like how old that character is supposed to be. Mystery, 197 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: and I'm coming up blank. But honestly, let us know. UH, Paddington. 198 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: No one understands how old Paddington is or is supposed 199 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: to be, except for you're nobody else gets it. He's 200 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: ageless times, Fifteen, fifteen times. Actors pretended not to be 201 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: their age and TV in movies, but fooled absolutely nobody. 202 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: I guess that's what what is something you think is overraged? 203 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: I would have to say getting on an airplane earlier, 204 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: like being the first to board an airplane. I know 205 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: some people might disagree, for like overhead Bin Space, but 206 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: I do not want to spend any more time on 207 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: the plane than I have to, especially because I feel like, 208 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, especially recently, like there's been so many horror 209 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: stories of like, Oh, we're sitting there for six hours 210 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: at the gate before we take off and all this stuff. 211 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: So why had any more misery to that than you 212 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: have to? So what's your what's your how does your 213 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: timing work? Like do you you're like fuck it, I'll 214 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: be in group funk out of here at the end. 215 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: I don't care, like I don't like. What's your what's 216 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: your methodology to ensure that? Like if you are, if 217 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: you're an early group, you're like, you know, I'm a 218 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: I'll go with everybody else at the end. Yeah, sometimes 219 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: I'll do that. And it's also like so we have 220 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: a really small airport in my town, and so it's 221 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: like there are like the planes are so small that 222 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: your bag doesn't fit in the overhead anyway. So everybody 223 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: always has to like check it plane side, and so 224 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of used to that. But yeah, I 225 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: just kind of hang out the gate. It's it's fun 226 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: to like watch everybody like jockeying to get, you know, 227 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: their premiere status points whatever.

It's an air freshener. Yeah, if 332 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: you leave a passion fruit Lacroix opening on a hot day, 333 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: your car smells great, fantastic. It's easy. These are the 334 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: life acks of our world crumbling into climate change. Yeah, exactly. 335 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: See Passion Fruit Lacroix. I don't and I don't really 336 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: like Lacroix, but the passion fruit especially has like almost 337 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: a a Musky funk to it.

And you know, Queen Elizabeth, I don't know, 345 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: how do you? How do you put into words? Passed 346 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: onto the Nether World, and this event hath created many 347 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: a reaction from around the world, from former colonies demanding 348 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: their ship back to Kanye seeing the light. It is 349 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: clear that this was a significant event for many people 350 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: in there. Just it's like this. This really put some 351 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: ship into perspective. Stupid. Life is precious. On his instagram, 352 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: releasing all grudges today, leaning into the light. Best wishes 353 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: and blessings to Pete Cutty, Daniel cheery. Yeah, yeah, did 354 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: he actually post that? Like the background? There was one where, 355 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: apparently he posted one with where the queen had yeasy 356 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: shades on. No, yes, and it deleted it. That's alleged 357 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: that there was a post that went up with her 358 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: in shades and it's like, okay, now mine, let me 359 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: play some more respect and the one that's on his 360 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: page now are like pictures of her in her youth. 361 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: This kind of makes me wonder what he was like 362 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: in elementary school, right, because I used to do stuff 363 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: like this, like if a paper was due, I'd have 364 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: to put my unique spin on it, like you know, 365 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do a book report, but I'll 366 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: choreograph a dance with flashlights, like you know. I think 367 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: a little bit differently, Mrs Campbell, this is my skin. Yeah, 368 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it was. It really shook him 369 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: to his core. So he is no longer going to 370 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: go after that. I mean, bless his heart. I'm sure 371 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: he'll say some wild shit pretty quickly. More collage is 372 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: to come. Yeah, exactly. But looking around, you know, you 373 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: look at the people of South Asian colonies, former South 374 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: Asian colonies, um. And just as a primer, you know 375 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: the British extracted over at a minimum forty trillion dollars 376 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: from the subcontinent between seventeen sixty five and nineteen thirty eight. 377 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: So you know, a lot of fucking off was stolen 378 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: from that, and one of the main ways that occurred 379 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: was like through basically, the British will collect taxes on 380 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: goods in India then used the taxes, those funds they 381 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: just collected to then buy ship from these people and 382 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: then send it to England or sell it on for Fucking, 383 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, astronomical fees to other countries. But essentially they're 384 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: just like in built theft, which, because that number of 385 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: forty trillion is um, that's basic. Yeah, that's what that 386 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: that but it's such a big number that I had 387 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: my hard time getting my mind around it. And so 388 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: like the GDP of the United States right now in 389 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: the year two is twenty four eight trillion. So that 390 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: that is an entire United States that was stolen from 391 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: them and more. Yeah, and more and way, way more. 392 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: And again that's based off the records they could find. 393 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: That's why, again, historians that actually have an eye on 394 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: this kind of ship, they're like this is again at 395 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: a fucking minimum. Where they kept the receipts. They were 396 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: like we're going to do this theft and keep receipts 397 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: for it, which not always the first instinct. Like then 398 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: redeem it for a free Puzzuki, right, and a lot 399 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: of historian has been like it would have been a 400 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: lot more clear if the person was collecting taxes and 401 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: then the quote unquote buyer of goods was actually just 402 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: the same person. But really the one person came for 403 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: the taxes and someone was like, Hello, I'm here to 404 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: buy this thing. Just so you know, my pockets are 405 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: filled with the money that they just shook you down for. Okay, 406 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: here you go and I'll take that and you have 407 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: nothing again. So yeah, I think reparations might be in 408 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: order there, as many people have pointed out. But one 409 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: of the most controversial stolen items from the former colony 410 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: is the COO nor diamond, and it's breathtaking. You know, 411 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: at the Times one of the largest diamonds on earth. 412 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: So naturally it had to be taken to be given 413 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: as a gift to Queen Victoria to put in her crown, 414 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: and the diamond is valued right now like four million dollars. 415 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: Other people are just simply described as priceless. And this 416 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: is something the British government has refused to give back 417 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: on numerous occasions. I think right now it's in like 418 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: the Tower of London museum or something, and eventually, I 419 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: believe Camilla will probably also get to rock that thing. 420 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: I mean she put so much time. We did it, Joe, 421 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: we did it, Joe. You know she's having it. She 422 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: really did it. But again, like this has been something 423 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: that British government has always been like, I'm not really 424 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: given that ship back. How do you give them back? 425 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: Like do you I'm picturing, I mean the way in 426 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: which you would have to deliver, I'm picturing the nearest 427 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: target area, or would you be really sly about it? 428 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: Just sneak it in with their postmates? Right? I don't know. 429 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: You well, considering how fucking rigid they've been in terms 430 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: of like reckoning with the history of colonial rule there, 431 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what they do. Like David Cameron when 432 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: he visited India once he was asked directly about returning 433 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: the diamond. His quote back was literally, they're not having 434 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: that back. They're not having that back, like like someone's 435 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: like deadwood DVD set, the thing they're having. They're not 436 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: having that back. So, like, if we bring it back 437 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: within three years, you get a store credit, right, who 438 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: knows what? They'RE gonna die. So now many South Asians 439 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: are asking like what's good? You know, now that Elizabeth 440 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: is dead and it began trending like alongside her death, 441 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: like pretty much instantly on twitter. We're like, okay, now 442 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: what's up? Like we this, we were not forgetting about 443 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: this fucking epic theft. Like Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, in India, 444 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: they all consider this diamond stolen goods, despite the British 445 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: insistence that it was a gift, that we acquired the legally. So, 446 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, let's just let's just fucking let's just call 447 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: it that. But more than that, I think for a 448 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: lot of people, just sort of the reluctance to return 449 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: the diamond sort of underscores just how the British government 450 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: has just refused to really reckon with all of the 451 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: atrocities of their colonial rule and I think that's a 452 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: big part of it as well. Uh, and again I'm 453 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: speaking as a speaking on this as an American, very superficially, 454 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: but it's wild. Did you see? Like, again, many countries 455 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: have many things that they consider stolen and it's just 456 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: the second this thing happens, like please have a reckoning 457 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: with this. Like. The one thing which is wild is 458 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: because people there seems to be like monarchists who are 459 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: like this is a song day and like we shouldn't. 460 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: You know, it's just like really, I don't have the 461 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: words to speak, while many others are like let me 462 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: break down that, like my parents were born under colonial rule. 463 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: Here are the things that I know, and so it's 464 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: just a very the royalist take that you just described 465 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: seems to also be the mainstream media take, like it's 466 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: all been like we we treat this very solemnly, like 467 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: we at Lego, like need to like stay black and 468 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: white picture of like a leg Oh figure of the 469 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: Queen and be like we're we're heartbroken and in mourning 470 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: over here. And you know, I have a friend who 471 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: is over there and had tickets to a comedy show 472 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: and they just canceled it. Like the like Comedians were 473 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: like we this is no time to laugh. was kind 474 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: of how it seemed to me. There's also like a 475 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: great CNN clip where, a they're interviewing a bunch of 476 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: people in London on the street and they're like how 477 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: do you feel like? You must be absolutely gutted, right, 478 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: that's what you guys say, and the person they interview 479 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: is like, Oh, I don't really care because of colonialism 480 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: and oppression and her son being a pedophile who used 481 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: the power of the crown to like, you know, prey 482 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: on people. Should I say more? And they're like fair enough, yeah, 483 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: except he did push her. He was like, uh no, 484 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: I wonder why, why you would say such a thing. 485 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: And she just said all that and he was like 486 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: over here we have some Americans. You're not a hater, 487 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: are you? So I wonder. I'm wondering if it's I mean, 488 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: I guess American media does this ship when like, you know, 489 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan or George H W Bush or like these 490 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: people who are essentially war criminals die, like they do 491 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: all get all solemn, even though these are people who 492 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: are are monsters. But like you definitely wouldn't see comedy 493 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: shows being canceled, or so I guess. I'm wondering. Is 494 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: it that they are afraid? They just don't want to 495 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: put up with the bullshit from like the you know, 496 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: Fox News viewer equivalent over there, like they just don't 497 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: want to put the energy forward. But it's just part 498 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: of you know, but that part of that. It's been, 499 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: you know, the monarchy has just been so yeahs of 500 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: the culture there. So I can imagine for them it's 501 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: just like because of that, I guess it resonates in 502 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: a completely different way, whether you give a shit or not, 503 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: but see why, out of like the whatever decorum that 504 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: is always you know, like the sense of decorum that's 505 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: given to the crown and all this. Like is it 506 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: a US pres resident, like a former US president dying? 507 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: was what I had equated to, but it might be 508 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 1: more like a US president dying or like a president 509 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: being assassinated or something like that. That feels like how 510 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: they are treating it, even though she was fucking nineties six. 511 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: I think we yeah, we'd relate more. Of Our presidents 512 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: wore hats. That's kind of the main thing. Well, our 513 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: greatest president did. It was a big Red One and 514 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: nobody likes Oh my God wow, but I think you know, 515 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: it's it is again interesting to see all of like 516 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: people come out with their takes and people being aghast 517 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: with some of other people like how could you say that? 518 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: And it reminds me of like the summer. You know, 519 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: fucking white supremacist violence has been such an inbuilt part 520 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: of American culture. Barely heard the words white supremacy during 521 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: that time. We heard about police violence and we talked 522 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: around it. And I think at the end of the day, 523 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: this because so much of the critics like the anger 524 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: is born out of the empire and what that stands for. 525 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: That it's then I don't I can't see the BBC 526 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: being like now let's kind of run down why the 527 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: British empire was so fucked up and why these people 528 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: might be feeling so fucking turned up. Yeah, I think 529 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,239 Speaker 1: it's just in general, like we can't, we don't have 530 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: reckonings like good faith reckonings with like with our truly 531 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: fucked up pasts, like on a scale like that. But 532 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: don't worry, though, not everyone is going fucking woke five 533 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: thousand on us because while, you know, many people were 534 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: getting their jokes off Tucker Carlson was absolutely fucking disgusted 535 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: with how these people were talking about one of the 536 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: greatest empires ever on our planet. Uh, and I'm just 537 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: gonna play a bit of him just talking about the 538 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: good old days. To this day, Britain claims to have 539 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: won both of the twentieth centuries World Wars, but together 540 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: they destroyed that nation forever. After victory came humiliation. The 541 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: evaporated and along with it Britain self, confidence and, ultimately, 542 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: it's self respect. It's hard to believe now, but Britain 543 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: wasn't always a regional banking center slash refugee camp. Whoa, 544 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: my God, you're ready, you're ready, you're ready, you're ready. 545 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: Here we go, Bill Place with a history and a 546 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: language and a culture, genuinely remarkable people, a country in 547 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: the North Atlantic the size of Alabama that somehow took 548 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: over the world and ruled it with decency unmatched by 549 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: any empire in human history. Somehow ruled it with decency. Okay, 550 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: but again, you see how he's already he's using this 551 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: already to be the you know, evaporation of white culture, 552 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: White Tagside by talking about how to turn his refugee camp. 553 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: It used to have coca COA culture. Okay, we'll go on. 554 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: The British empire was not perfect, but it was far 555 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: more human main than any other ever. It's gone now, 556 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: barely even remembered. Queen Elizabeth the second was the last 557 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: living link to a truly Great Britain. Uh Huh. He 558 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: goes on to talk about what like in Africa. He's like, 559 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: look at what happened when the British left. You have 560 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: idiom mean and like goes down all these like autocrats 561 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: and he's like and now China is their new ruler. 562 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: I bet they're begging for the British to come back. No, 563 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: they're fucking not. And also, I can't. This the most 564 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: humane fucking empire ever. That that is. That's just that is. 565 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: That's a premise that does not exist. Those areathetical concepts. 566 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: That is the benefit of having an audience that doesn't read, 567 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: because I can just make you can be like they 568 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: were so nice. You guys, like you don't have to 569 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: read about the British Empire History. You guys. They were 570 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: like so nice. Living under British rule is like super tight. 571 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: And you can believe me because behind me is a 572 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: photo of a lion. The graphics they're using you're so bizarre. 573 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: One is just like an old timy like Buggy, and 574 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: then it switched to a graphic of a lion and 575 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: next to the right. Exactly, and I mean like, colonization 576 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: is all about power, dominant, subjugation, nothing. There's nothing fucking 577 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: humane about that ship. There's just you can't engage with 578 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: it in a humane way because that's that's just not 579 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: how it works. It was like saying, Oh, they're the 580 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: most humane fucking murderer. Right, okay. I'm like, if you're 581 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: out there murdering people, there's no humane way to do it. 582 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: If you're out there kicking people off of their land, saying, Oh, this, 583 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: this is ship, this ship is mine. Also, you work 584 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 1: here now, I don't give a folk which you say, 585 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: else I'll kill you, that's nothing fucking humane about that. 586 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: But again, obviously someone with like a white supremacist agenda 587 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: would speak glowingly of a society that clearly just put 588 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: people into like categories of human or non human. So No, 589 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: no real surprises. They're right. And so then immediately after 590 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: that he brought on some people who lived under British 591 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: ruled us but right, I have to assume to just 592 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: like talk speak. Poke was. Yeah, yeah, exactly, a bunch 593 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: of cool characters that people would remember. He's like what 594 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: would pocahontas have said? Like, what are you fucking talking about? 595 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 1: Looking terrible for everybody. So, yeah, it's it's just it's interesting. 596 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: How again, like what we see from the like just 597 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: from outside of England, like what those responses are? You 598 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: have many people saying like we do not forget the 599 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: fucking terrors of living under this rule and like let's 600 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: maybe rectify that. And then again, this has also given 601 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: fodder to like ghouls, like fucking Tucker Carls, like make 602 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: it about really using the soft focus filter. I don't 603 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: know if they're using some kind of new Lens Fox. 604 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: Not to be superficial, but I'm looking at it, it 605 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: looks like an interview on real housewives, like a talking 606 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: head segment from real housewives. It's a very soft glow 607 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: about the soft blow. There's definitely a touch of Jew German. Yeah, 608 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, but shout out to his his representative. They 609 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: gotta argue that. They got to get that in the contract. Yeah, 610 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: you got to be shot with a nice bloom alright, alright, well, 611 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: let's take a break. Well, we'll be right back to 612 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: talk about texting bubbles and the various colors. The blue 613 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: bubble versus the green bubble. Wars are upon us. The 614 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: new episodes should be called Snoop Santa. There you go. 615 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: You guys just missed the enthralling back and forth about 616 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,439 Speaker 1: what the origins of Fanta. Or maybe you didn't. It's 617 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 1: totally up to just he can leave it in if 618 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: you either way. There is a reason, though, you may 619 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: not be experiencing a lot of Fanta in your local store, 620 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: because rail workers are ready to strike. What is it 621 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: this time? Hold on, Jack, let me just at the 622 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: table for you here. Okay, so companies for years have 623 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: prioritized maximum profits, which has led to understaffing and general 624 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: negligence of the rail infrastructure, for example in America. Yes, 625 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 1: like a typical like, if you're like a like a train, 626 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: if driving a train going from Chattanooga to Atlanta, it 627 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: took about five to six hours in the eighties. Now 628 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: it takes around twelve because again, understaffing, negligence. The infrastructure 629 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: is not great, and a lot of this too, is now. 630 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: That just work. It's just been more intense, more intense 631 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: business on the rails because of the increased demand for 632 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: goods from people just ordering ship more and more online. 633 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: And right now two large rail unions, the International Association 634 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: of Sheet Metal, air, rail and Transportation Workers, Transportation Division 635 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: Smart TV and the Brotherhood of locomotive engineers and train men, 636 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: are ready to strike with up to like a hundred, 637 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: forty thousand plus people. This would be the first mass 638 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: railroad strikes since the nineteen eighties. I think it's since 639 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: nineteen eight potentially. And these workers aren't really necessarily complaining 640 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: about wages. What they're really the biggest sticking point in 641 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: these negotiations is that they're fighting to have just a 642 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: decent quality of life because as it stands, when these 643 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: workers have a day off, they're always on call and 644 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: they have to constantly check in to see if they're 645 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: gonna get called in up until like midnight and then 646 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: they know like they'll have the day off. Like it's 647 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 1: very unpredictable and like they never have any semblance of 648 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: being able to live their life. And because of this, 649 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: even when they think they have days off, means they're 650 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: missing doctor's appointments, they're missing birthdays, they're missing the births 651 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: of children, they can't bike, they can't park their bikes 652 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: on the bike racks. This is how this is how 653 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,240 Speaker 1: out of control of this ship. But this is all because, again, 654 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,439 Speaker 1: the rail companies. They are the railroads. They would rather 655 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: run these workers ragged with eighty to ninety hour work 656 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: weeks than actually just invest in hiring more people. And 657 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: what sort of is now at stake? Is that Congress, 658 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: because of the Railway Labor Act, it does a couple 659 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: of things that helps the railroads. First is that the 660 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: Railway Labor Act it's it's basically doesn't cover these workers 661 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: for federal overtime protection. The only thing that they get 662 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 1: is like a guarantee of like ten hours between shifts 663 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 1: every twenty four hours. So it's like, if you're working 664 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: a tent, like ten hours in between shifts, depending on 665 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: how far you like live from your place of work 666 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: or you have to be, that might not even be 667 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: enough to actually sleep and like do ship that you 668 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: might have to just as a normal person who is 669 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: in the in between times of not working. And Second, 670 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: the Railway Labor Act, because of it, Congress can step 671 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: in and stop a strike and force workers to accept 672 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: a contract unilaterally. And so what about the Senate, though? 673 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: Can't that person step in? What depends on who it benefits. 674 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: MATERARIAN will not step in on this one. They're like no, no, no, 675 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: you can go ahead and do that. But right now 676 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: other unions have agreed to deals that have been sort 677 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: of like the government that was like trying to intervene 678 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: to really stop this strike from happening, because it's it 679 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: would be a massive disruption, obviously, because we just got 680 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: a news thing from my phone. The Washington Post says 681 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: Amtrak cancels all long distance trains beginning Thursday as rail 682 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: systems brace for potential strike. Yeah, and I mean by 683 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: the time you hear this it may be happening all. 684 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: Because so right now, one of the deals that the 685 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: government has intervened on put on the table some unions 686 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: have like have accepted this, was like a twenty four 687 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: percent wage increase over five years, but a lot of 688 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: people point out, with inflation where it's at, that's actually 689 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: they cut. Yeah, that's you're not even keep him, so 690 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: that's nothing. The other offer now is that they're trying 691 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: to negotiate their like well, we can get you guaranteed 692 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: time off to go to the doctor and that's it, 693 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: and that doesn't seem too attractive to the people that 694 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: also want to be able to again have a life. 695 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: All of these people like constantly, these union members and workers. 696 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: All they're saying is, I can't, I can't fucking ever 697 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: know when I have time to like see my kids 698 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: or my grandkids. I'm sorry they think when my queen 699 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: died they became the queen of England because go to 700 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: the doctor whenever you want to get the fun exactly here. 701 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: Who Do you think you are? It's some bad taste 702 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,280 Speaker 1: to go to the doctor because you know someone died somewhere. 703 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: But you hear people saying this is my living situation, 704 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 1: my work situation, you'd be like that's fucked up. At 705 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: a minimum, you gotta have time to fucking spend, like 706 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: see your fanis like live like someone whose life isn't 707 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: all worked well. I've been reading about this and talking 708 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 1: about it quite a bit, because this is like someone smart. 709 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: I didn't think of this, but they were like, if 710 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: you're like when they were talking about unionizing starbucks, and 711 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: they're talking about unionizing Amazon warehouses or things like that, 712 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, that's gonna make our business, that's 713 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: gonna sunk up our business model. That's because if you 714 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: have a business that's built on violating labor laws, then 715 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 1: that's not a business, and that's like. That's why I'm 716 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: so glad that unions are you know, some seems to. 717 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: Of course, this is like me just watching the news 718 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: and being like, unions are gonna come back. You know, 719 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how much, how significant it is, but 720 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: every time a starbucks gets unionized, or I mean this 721 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: is obvious stuff, like workers get abused without unions. I 722 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's as simple as that. And and 723 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, you've got people being in bottles and not 724 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: being able to go to doctors appointments and it's all 725 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: in the name of the executives of these companies. The 726 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: Stat is, I forget what the stat is exactly, but 727 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: it used to be the CEOS of companies made whatever, 728 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: twenty times the income of their lowest paid worker, or 729 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: whatever whatever, and now it's like two twenty thousand times. 730 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,479 Speaker 1: It's not that high, but it's like something like it's 731 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: it's twenty thousand times. It's high. So it's not a mystery, 732 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,879 Speaker 1: and it's that. That's the thing. Is like there's this 733 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: constant lie that the one percent or that, you know, 734 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: the wealth hoarders have that somehow this has always been 735 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: the way it's been, and it hasn't been. It's been 736 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: like since the early nineties when they started making full 737 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: time people temp workers and saying, Hey, what are they 738 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: gonna do if we cut their pensions? What are we 739 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: gonna do if we make them on call all the time? 740 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: You know, my brother pointed out the other he mentioned 741 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: the fucking Iraq war, sending the fucking National Guard, and 742 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,720 Speaker 1: the National Guard was not supposed to be deployed overseas, 743 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: and they're like, what are they gonna do about it? 744 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 1: It's just this the gradual erosion of like a social contract. 745 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: It's just like, and I'm so glad that these fucking 746 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: people are in some way getting because they're just abusing 747 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: workers just to pay their fucking dividends. Right. And you 748 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: know this one of the guys who is quoted in 749 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 1: this this American prospect article about like the impending strike. 750 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 1: He talks about like what it's been like just because 751 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: of the pandemic. Quote. I don't know what happened during 752 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: the pandemic. That woke everybody up, and I'm talking about 753 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: all of America. But yeah, they had a big effect. 754 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 1: People are saying now there's something more to life than 755 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: wasting it on the railroad or at my job, and 756 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: that's true across the board. I think it's helped people 757 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: realized established different priorities in their lives. And this is 758 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 1: again you're countless people saying this is this strike needs 759 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: to happen. Quote. This is not about money, this is 760 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 1: about quality of life. This is about getting time off 761 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: with your family and remembering that people that people don't 762 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: know what trains are, even they think trains are like 763 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: some relic of the past.

And you look at places like Bloomberg 794 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 1: right there front page. Right now. It's actually been overtaken 795 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 1: by the amtrack closures, but earlier the main headline was quote, 796 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: US Rail Strike Risk Stoking inflation at worst possible time.

That's that, 818 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: and they're counting on that rather than just, you know, 819 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: taking the fucking millions of millions of dollars they make 820 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: and just making a couple of couple million less. So 821 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: these people can, you know, maybe work like fucking seventy 822 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: work weeks. I don't know what the fuck, but yeah, 823 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: and I think they know with this constant thing, because 824 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the rail the railroads, have told shipping companies, hey, 825 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: we can't take certain kinds of cargo because we've got 826 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: to prepare for this strike, and that's already affecting the 827 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: markets and they know. Oh See, they got election coming up. 828 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: If I fucking hold the account to be hostage as 829 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,240 Speaker 1: an employer, let's see what happens. All of dark's owning 830 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: news outlets will be the death of of of us all. 831 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: I really believe that because because it's it's as simple 832 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: as that. Now, you know that guy bought CNN. You know, 833 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 1: it's like this is not people still are trying to 834 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 1: take these outlets seriously and as long as billionaires are 835 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: allowed to buy like multiple outlets, and you know, I 836 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 1: mean the fair or what do you call it, the 837 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:35,439 Speaker 1: old rules of media ownership, you know, are essential. I mean, 838 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,760 Speaker 1: like this is the thing. It's like what those headlines 839 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: You're reading? You know, it's like that's all because billionaires 840 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: only goddamn newspaper. I mean, otherwise it would be I 841 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: mean whatever, the headline would be different. And also all 842 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: the speculation. I just wrote my most recent advice king 843 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,319 Speaker 1: column about one of those New York Times op ED 844 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: writers who like not to mention all the sub stack. MOTHERFUCKER's, 845 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: these old white dudes who are like talking about, you know, 846 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: do people understand the value of work? And it's like 847 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: fuck you, motherfucker's, like, you know, it's like the New 848 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 1: York Times it was under different ownership. Would not allow 849 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 1: these people to speculate about this nonsense. That's not a 850 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: question of like whether people want to work. It's a 851 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 1: question of what's the quality of the fucking work. It's not. 852 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,919 Speaker 1: It's it's it's like you you give someone a job 853 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,800 Speaker 1: with absolutely I mean, it's just it's a dishonest argument. 854 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 1: Nobody doesn't want to work. Also, it's a dishonest argument 855 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 1: because you have to work in a capitalist society or 856 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: you're on the fucking street. All that's happening is everybody 857 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: is like facing like, well, at the moment I don't 858 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: really feel like having my life ruined, so I guess 859 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: I'll take money from mom or I'll move into mom's house. 860 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what's happening, if anything. But there's nobody 861 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: who's got the luxury of being like, I don't think 862 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: I want to work. In America, that doesn't exist. So 863 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 1: it's a false discussion. It's just a matter of do 864 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 1: you want to fucking drive your own car to deliver sandwiches, 865 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: you know, while you're paying off student loans? And that's 866 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,799 Speaker 1: not a question of that's not a referendum on whether 867 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,400 Speaker 1: or not people like like the think work is no 868 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: ball or whatever it is that these fucking rich people think. 869 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: People sit around. It's it's all the it's all these 870 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: like tool tools don't work anymore. Like shaming people into 871 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 1: being like, well, nobody wants to work anymore, and that's 872 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: why I think there's like that whole push back to 873 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: quiet quitting too, which is like they caught wind of 874 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,360 Speaker 1: the fact that people are like just setting boundaries in 875 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 1: their own minds with how they like survive the toil 876 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 1: of working, and they're like, Whoa, there's a way that 877 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: you can get quiet fired too. You know what, it 878 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, like people don't give a funk because, like 879 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: to Chris, your point, the if right now just like 880 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: it's this or beyond the street. So I'll make that 881 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,879 Speaker 1: work like however fucking way I have to. Yeah, I mean, 882 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it's just, Um, I've been alive for the 883 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 1: whole thing, you know, I remember, I remember when when 884 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 1: temp were like people were working forty hours a week 885 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: and they were calling it temp work, you know, and 886 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: I knew that something was wrong. You know, that was 887 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: the early nineties. I didn't know that it would lead 888 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 1: to absolutely stripping every benefit in the world, but I 889 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: knew and we all knew, and we're talking about back 890 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 1: then like this is bullshit, like, but realizing that we 891 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 1: were powerless, and that's the problem is there's no. You know, 892 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,360 Speaker 1: if there's no union, and I think about show business, 893 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,360 Speaker 1: you know all these like people who want to be 894 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 1: in show business. At this point it's like, do you 895 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:30,839 Speaker 1: even want to be an artist or you just want 896 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,240 Speaker 1: to be safe? Show business has strong unions. The reason 897 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: why people get paid in fucking show business is because 898 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 1: of union. There was no fucking union, like no sag no, 899 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,319 Speaker 1: whatever the funk else. There is U Afterra. If there 900 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: was no AFTERRA, I'm I'm actually Um. What do you 901 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 1: call it when you're SAG eligible, Wendell Berry?
