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 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really,

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Okay? Um, So

6
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: this is in my own personal opinion, and I'm not

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: a c p A or a lawyer, but I think

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: it's overrated to be afraid of the I R S.

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: I think I really like freak out and they are

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: afraid of being audited, even if they aren't criminals, and

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: they're afraid that if you do do a criminal activity,

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: you will definitely get arrested. So, from my personal experience,

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: scared I rus. I think I was thinking about that

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: and he must have just like been like, no, I

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: didn't cheat on my taxes. No I didn't. Because if

16
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah I did, they're like, okay, we're setting

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: up a payment plan. My dad's second wife, when they

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: were still married, she did do a mouthfeasance, and because

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: they're married, he signed all the tax paperwork and then

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: the I R S found out and they were like, hey,

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: come on, and they were like, we know, and so

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: they put them on a payment plan, um, just to

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: pay it off and that's it. And then when my

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: dad died, I knew he hadn't finished paying it off

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: because he was homeless, so of course he didn't. Uh.

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: And I called the I R S and I said, hey,

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: my dad died neog money And the woman said, uh,

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: did he have a wife And I said no, and

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: she said did he have an estate? And I said

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: ha ha ha no, and she said, okay, his dad

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: is a race and that's it. Like everyone thinks that

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you die with debt, you're your people

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: are gonna have to pay for it. No, so again

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: only in my personal experiences, like, but if you funk

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: up your taxes, just own up to it and you're

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. And the I R S people, the

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: customer service at the I r S is actually really nice.

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: It just takes a while to get ahold of them

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: if you want to get them on the phone. Sometimes

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: I've as somebody who's yeah, I've had a few run

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: ins with the Internal Revenue Service and I had the

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: same evolution to where I was like, oh, man, like

43
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: like I want to sweep sticks years ago, like the

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: first time ever in my life, and like yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was like a contest but like we

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: like but it had a prize and ship and like

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: my band won and like, so my dumbass was on

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: the tax paperwork. So suddenly I'm getting all these like

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: materials and other things that I didn't know. You know,

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: this is the time I broke his funk. I don't

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: know how taxes works. I was like, I don't know, Yeah,

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: just fucking keep it and they're like, yeah, motherfucker you

53
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: was like eight grand I'm like and for the longest time,

54
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to come to my house

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: kick the door now, like arrest my mom, like set

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: my dog on fire, and like be like like what

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: am gonna do? Until I talked to my dad, who

58
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: was an adult who has been through and he's like,

59
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: just tucked to them, you fucking idiot, Like this is

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: not Why do you think that's what's gonna happen? I

61
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know. Wesley Snipes went to jail and he's like

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: he was so flagrant with it, and I was like, right, okay, right,

63
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: I think I think that ultimately the Iris just wants

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: their money more than they want to finish you, which

65
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: is so Unamerican, but yeah, they really just want the

66
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: money because you can be like, well you owe this

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: much and like can I give you fifty bucks a

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: month and the yeah, yeah, fine, fine, fine, I take

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: care man, cat you catch you later out there, and

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: you're like, you have motherfucker's knocking on my door dropping

71
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: off like six pound envelopes and ship yeah. Yeah. But

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: then as soon as you agree to your ten dollar

73
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: a month payment plan, they're like, at the very least,

74
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: just talk to a tax prepared because that was the

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: like after my dad and then talking to someone they're

76
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: like okay, like and you can feel off the energy

77
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: from an accountant when you tell them the situation. They're like, okay,

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: so we'll do this. And you're like, wait, I don't

79
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: have to climb a mountain and give a blood offering

80
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: to some kind of deity. No, okay, that's totally like

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: when I'm in an airplane and there's two urbulence, I

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: immediately look for the flight attendants and every time they're

83
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: just like chilling, and I'm like, okay, good. Yeah. I

84
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: think my fear comes from a Seinfeld episode where he

85
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: was audited. Did that happen? And he had to find

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: all the receipts that he didn't have and yeah, yeah, also, yeah,

87
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: my dad was audited too. I remember as a kid,

88
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: and it was like I remember being too young, but

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I just remember the word and how stressed my dad

90
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: was and him like looking through boxes and I don't

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: want that. But now everything is digital, like it's such

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: a different time now. Yeah, I can summon bank records

93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: like that, exactly exactly. I've heard that like part of

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: if you're paying like a private accountant, not like H

95
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: and R Block, but if you're paying big bucks for

96
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: an accountant kind of what you're paying for his protection

97
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: and not having to deal. Yeah, because if they're the

98
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: ones who did your taxes, virus will come to them first.

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: All that you say, they're they're setting up the taxes

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: codes and plans to be so sucking confusing that we

101
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: can't just do it. Are like so many other countries

102
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: have way better processes for this kind of ship where

103
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: they're actually the ones keeping tabs and be like here's

104
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: your bill, here's your bill. Yeah, counting on people to

105
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: like funk up and not be able to get the

106
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: maximum you know, return or what they're owed. So it's

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: just what if the restaurant made you figure out the

108
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: market price for like fish that day, We're like, all right,

109
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: so here are the economic conditions and the fish market

110
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: out of Russia, which is where we imported this from.

111
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: I impoured on my fish from Russia when to go

112
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: out to eat. But yeah, there's actually a column about

113
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: that very thing in the l A Times. I think

114
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: it came out on Friday by Lucas Kwan Peterson, and

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: it's about how we don't understand food costs and we

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: should all be paying more money. So we've got a

117
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: lot of topics in there. We're paying for cheap, we're

118
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: paying too too little for food. Yeah yeah, in terms

119
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: of like how it how the cose bears out for

120
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: like the restaurant itself to run as a business, or

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: like what the actual costs are for the for the product,

122
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 1: well for the restaurants itself, and then you know, further

123
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: down the supply chain the farms and yeah, processors all

124
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Yeah yeah, Blake, what's something you

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Overrated? I'm gonna go with Francis Scott

126
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: Key and I just first of all, I'm like, because

127
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: you know the whole story war of eighteen twelve and

128
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: eighteen fourteen, he was he was an American. By the way,

129
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: this is funny to be. I looked up Francis Scott Key,

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: and the thing that comes up on Google as his

131
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: job isn't guy who penned the Star Spangled banner. It

132
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: just says American lawyer, which I thought was, Yeah, it's like,

133
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: all right, I guess s c O for Francis Scott Key.

134
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: But he uh, he was doing a prisoner exchange aboard

135
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: a British ship, as lawyers are want to do, and

136
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: he figured out or he saw like their plans to

137
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: like bombard this harbor, so didn't let him off the

138
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: boat until after the bombardment. So you stuck on this boat.

139
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: And just like I just for the lyrics, don't hold

140
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: up to me for that song. And then also I'm

141
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: more of like an America the beautiful type person you know,

142
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: call me, call me nuts. And if I was in jail,

143
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: I would do some push ups, you know, like not

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: like I would get in shape, not do like a

145
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: side hoppy. Does that make sense? So I think the

146
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: whole Francis Scott's key thing is it's not even so

147
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: you're saying, since he was locked down on that ship,

148
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: he should have been doing burpies in the yard right,

149
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: not sitting there writing music and racist as poems. I agree,

150
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: become our national anthem. I'm looking on his Wikipedia page.

151
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: There's he has his own coat of arms, and it's

152
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: probably one of the most disappointing looking coat of arms

153
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, because it's like a really bland shield

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: with two like horizontal or diagonal black stripes like a

155
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: white shield too, solid diagonal black lines, your usual filigree

156
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: around the side. Then you have a night helmet with

157
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: like a griffin head on top with a key in

158
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: its smouth. It's so fucking get it, Like, yeah it

159
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: is it saying get it key, like out of a

160
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: word balloon. Well, even his kind of pointing to itself

161
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: with like, yeah, Scott, what now griffin? Scott funk. I

162
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: knew the griffin was a bad idea. It kind of

163
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: looks like a lama too. Mm hmmm. I like having

164
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: a logo for your family. A coat of arms is

165
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: almost always disappointing, you know, like it's never like you

166
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: could choose anything like that. That guy wasn't a night

167
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you could put anything on it,

168
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: and that's what he chose. It's like it kind of

169
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: just the resurgence of coat of arms is like my

170
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: favorite thing is like you know, be like the sort

171
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: of west or in European answer to like ancient calligraphy

172
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: or foreign languages or like yeah, this is actually my history.

173
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: This is the coat of arms for the McMahon family.

174
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: And it's like very in depth and I'm like, okay,

175
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: that's cool, and it's it always it just yeah, it

176
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: looks like a logo for a boarding school always, you know,

177
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: and it's never like at least like in Japan, there's

178
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: like mung or like Common which is your family like Crest,

179
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of cool ones that are like

180
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: coming out of you know, depending on where your family

181
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: was at in that period. Uh. And like when I

182
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: found mine, I was like all about that because this

183
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: is my coat of arms, because I was yelling at

184
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: my Scottish friend who was showing me his, and I

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: felt disappointed there wasn't one for Japan. But anyway, I

186
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: think mine was the three Fans. If you're interested, mine

187
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: is three Lions, which perfectly matches up with my dynamic

188
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: and tenacious personality. But I am a leo, so that

189
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: it does kind of work like that. Oh yeah, oh yours.

190
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: It is actually three lines for the O'Brien thee. Yeah,

191
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: just three guys name Brian. Yeah, and they're like kind

192
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: of doing a like weird pose, like it almost seems

193
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: like they're doing the um the teen Wolf dance. Oh yeah,

194
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: this is how I've always interpreted minds. A street sign

195
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: that just says rough road ahead. They give you that

196
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: when you're born a little Oh yeah, well it's been

197
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: a tough couple of cent srees for the Wexlers. It's

198
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: just an expiration date. It says, uh, March expire. So

199
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. What do you guys

200
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: think it means? I don't know. We'll see it verycent. Yeah,

201
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: that's up there with like name name meaning with like

202
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: a thing that people think is significant. That probably he

203
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: was made up in like the seventies by someone who

204
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: was selling T shirts. Yeah that and like any stupid

205
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: as gift shop of a meaningless place that shouldn't have

206
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: a gift shops always like look what your name means.

207
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: It's like means follower of Christ, soldier, dedicated, and like,

208
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: what the fun? But there's so many like contradictory and

209
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: like just so many different meanings for literally every name.

210
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: But people are like, I like this one. I like

211
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: this possible name for my child because it means a

212
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: beautiful princess of the flowers. It's like, I've also seen

213
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: where it means uh island that garlic comes from, which

214
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: is actually the meaning of Ramsey, which is one of

215
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: my kid's names, actually does come from Latin of soldier.

216
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: He remember seeing that. I was like, I ain't a soldier, bro, Yeah,

217
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Miles is too cool and named. I'm a deserter bro

218
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: smoking weed while. But it's like, you know, doing where

219
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry, was way too intense for me.

220
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm a deserted through and through desert. I'm

221
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: eating dessert all the time. It's it's a great community.

222
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, very yeah, just you know, bad teeth though,

223
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: a lot of sugar, a lot of cavities. Actually, when

224
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: I look up the meaning of my name, it just

225
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: says let like jacking off, you know, soh my god,

226
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: that's that's surprising. I was I though it would be

227
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: less literal than that. Yeah, that's pretty on the nose that,

228
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: you know, like jacking off. What is something from your

229
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are, what you're

230
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: up to, you know what? Let me open it right now,

231
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: live intense, drumroll please okay. Um. I was recently looking

232
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: up Dolly Parton's husband, Carl Dean. Um the enigma that

233
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: is Carl Deane because um, you know, as you guys know,

234
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: I have the podcast Celebrity book Club where I read

235
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: celebrity memoirs, and I always thought of Dolly Partners, you know,

236
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: an enigma, and we don't know anything about Carl, and

237
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: then you read her nineteen autobiography and you're like, there's

238
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: a ship ton about Carl in here. I mean, there's

239
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: too much. There's too much. She's like, she describes you, guys,

240
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: Carl Deane. I don't know if you saw this coming,

241
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: because you are you are you Dolly Partner fans? Yeah,

242
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean we're we're Dolly fan adjacent. So the lore

243
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: intersects with the show pretty often. I think the last

244
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: time we talked about Carl Deane, we were just like

245
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: laughing at how like norm Core he was. But then

246
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: then how that like kind of made sense for them

247
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: as a that's amazing. I'm gonna ruin that for you too,

248
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: Oh yes, please do. Because then my other thing was

249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: like maybe he's a freak. Um, now he's not a

250
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: total freak, but but here's like a story she told

251
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: about him of like like a friend and I'm I'm paraphrasing,

252
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get something wrong. She would she told stories

253
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: about bits. Carl likes to do. Carl loves bits. I

254
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: don't know if he's not coming now more than your

255
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: direct comedian manentering type, like he loves bits. He has

256
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: a solid chunk on the trader. Joe's the trader, Joe's

257
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: um not saying it, but like a physical he loves

258
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: a physical gag. So apparently, like to to make one

259
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: of her friends laugh, he put on these like huge

260
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: like a huge necklace of like cow teeth and maybe

261
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: like a weird hat that went with it, like a

262
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: full you know, full thing comes walking in and stuck

263
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: to the bit for nine hours, nine hours of having

264
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: a cow teeth like just just a kooky outfit on. Yeah,

265
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: and I think I think he was also playing a character.

266
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: I think he had a voice. Oh, yeah. And then

267
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: there's another story about how she was at a concert

268
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: once and like looked over and Carl had just joined

269
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: the band and was like singing with the bands. Yeah,

270
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: and then like as part of the air coupled them,

271
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: she had him arrested by the cops, like this stranger

272
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: wandered on stage with us, Please arrest this man who's

273
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: as like part of it, Like Carl will find this

274
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: hilarious him. And then here's the third layer. They've never

275
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: acknowledged it to each other, and Dolly says, Carl likes

276
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: the jokes better. Wait, so this rule so he doesn't

277
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: know that she had him arrested, so he knows. They

278
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: just it's like a committing to the bit of like

279
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: he pretended to be a stranger, She pretended he was

280
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: a stranger to and Adam arrested. He did his bid

281
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: like a boss six months. Yeah, doesn't drop it, doesn't

282
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: call it out. Yeah. So yeah, So if if you're

283
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: a Dolly head and you want to know about Carl

284
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: de pick up the book or there wasn't my podcast.

285
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Honestly that's a better plug, but talk about it or

286
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: that it just it is so norm core and that

287
00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: she has a juvenile, annoying husband, like annoying the funk

288
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: out of her and then get arrested. But then you're

289
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: kind of into that too, because you're like, that's my contribution. Yeah,

290
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: he's like he's got like weird dead vibes, like the

291
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: silly dad who's like always doing bad dad jokes but

292
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: like taking them too far to the point that it

293
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: makes everybody uncomfortable. Yes, yes, although I I I love

294
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: this Carl is norm Core theory, but I I feel

295
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: like if Carl were Norm Coore when Dolly got famous,

296
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: he would have got competitive, divorced her or tried to

297
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: be her manager. And then of those things happened, and

298
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: he's still with her and like, lets her clearly have

299
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: an open marriage that he doesn't participate in. So that's

300
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: where I'm just like, oh, I don't know that. Is

301
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: it an open marriage? It is, I will tell you

302
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: this from reading the book and from her interview with

303
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: Barbara Walters, There's no way it's not an open marriage. However,

304
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Dolly is the one in the open Carl. She says,

305
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: I believe Carl, I'm the only person he's ever been

306
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: with with all my heart, And then in other parts

307
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: of the book, she's like, I've never met a man

308
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: I didn't want to have sex with. And then in

309
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: the Q and A she's it's of like a very

310
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: funny Q and A. In the back of the book,

311
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: they say, have you ever cheated on Carl? And she said, that's, uh,

312
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: that's for me to know and for you and Carl

313
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: to find out. I mean, is that her being witty

314
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: or you think that's her just kind of being like, yeah,

315
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: I cheat, but I'm gonna give you a cute and

316
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a um. I mean, she is definitely,

317
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: she loves to joke her way at the truth. However,

318
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: in the book she's also like, I'm so horny. I

319
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: mean throughout the she's like, I'm so horny. I love sex, um,

320
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: and I didn't know if I could believe in God,

321
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: but now I do because I can have sex. I

322
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: love sex, And me and Carl Dean don't live together

323
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: often and I often don't see him. So the math

324
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: equation on that to me is like, Okay, I mean

325
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: Dolly's getting it in. Yeah. If she's not, I'm devastated.

326
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: So I just slieve. But yeah. The Barbara Walter's interview

327
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: I thought made it clear, or if they have an

328
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: open marriage. Yeah, okay, it's it's like literally impossible for

329
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: her to like every detail that you just said makes

330
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: her more endearing. She's just maybe the most endearing human ever. Right,

331
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I totally agree. The only unendearing thing

332
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: about her is that she uh hates the word feminist.

333
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: But other than that, I feel like even on like

334
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: she's I feel like she comes around on black lives

335
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: matters issues and you think he's done wrong. Feels like

336
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: we call her out, she she changes, is accountable. Yeah,

337
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: well we hold her in high regard. But yeah, now

338
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: the whole time we're like, man, was Carls just getting cucked?

339
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: The whole time was like, well she with Burt Reynolds

340
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: or was that just like his kink where he's like

341
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: danger with them? That's well, because we've actually the last

342
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: time we brought him up was in the context of

343
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: like does she cheat and if she does, does he know?

344
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Does he like that or does he just likes he knows? Oh,

345
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: he knows. And also what I love about the Burt

346
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: Reynolds thing is that he Burt Reynolds wrote is memoir

347
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: n That's when Dolly Parton's came out in his memoir.

348
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: He's like, maybe me and Dolly Parton had a thing.

349
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: I'll never tell you, but she wanted to fuck me.

350
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: And in Dolly Parton's memoir she writes, I could never

351
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: fuck Burt Reynolds. He's like a brother to me. We

352
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: both wear wigs and high heels. And it came out

353
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: the same year, like they already published, when they both

354
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: had to look at each other and be like a

355
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: few people know Carl Deane was the photographer on that

356
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: Burt Reynolds bear skin nude photos. So all right, we're

357
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.

358
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: And we're back. What is something from your search history

359
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you are? Do Vitamin deep Hills work?

360
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: Is I've I've I've I've hit quite the the D

361
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: deficiency um since since I've been on the East Coast,

362
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: and I also had it on the West Coast. So

363
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: it's like, well, if you're going to be Vitamin D

364
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: deficient in southern California, then I think that's just what

365
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: the rest of your life is going to look like.

366
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: But I can't get it right here. But man, if

367
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: you can't get it there man, So uh, maybe I'm

368
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: getting some some raids from your your star glow, the

369
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: glow of your stars on this podcast right now, so

370
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: I feel like the levels skyrocketing. But um, it's mixed. Uh,

371
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: there's no answer on this where doct Some doctors say

372
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: that it does work. Studies also say that vitamin D

373
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: pills don't work. Supplements. I think might be a better

374
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: way of saying that. So I'm I'm I'm at a loss.

375
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: I might just take them and see if they work.

376
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. What about like ingesting them, like

377
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: where they're naturally occurring as like nutrients. Oh, but that

378
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: sounds like more than I'm willing to well, as long

379
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: as we do, as long as we ironed that part out.

380
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: Where do we get vitamin D? I have iron I'm

381
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: sorry that you're asking, no, no, which from the sun?

382
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's from the sun? Yeah, usually getting it from

383
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: the sun, but you get it from like I know,

384
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: it's always like dairy and like like fatty fish ship.

385
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: You can get it because I remember when I went

386
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: to the for a checkup, like in the middle of lockdown.

387
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: The doctor was like, I'm seeing this with everyone and

388
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: you normally aren't vitamin D to fishing, but you need

389
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: your your levels are going down. Okay, I'll just tell

390
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: my doctor Miles that I'm gonna go get a fat fish.

391
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,280

406
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: think is it just not going outside, not ever seen

407
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: in the sunlight? What's going on? Why? Why are we

408
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: so D deficient that would vibe with my general my

409
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: outgoing you know persona that I don't go outside, but

410
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: I am quite I'm outside quite a lot, So I

411
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: don't know. It's it's been happening for a couple of years.

412
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: Like literally, I'll go biking every single day for like

413
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: an hour and a half and it's still it's still

414
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: not happening for me. So you are going to yes,

415
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: and and during the summer that it heats up, like

416
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: the sunburn that I get is I'll say off putting.

417
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: I'll say it's very upsetting. I look like a fish.

418
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: I look like one of those fish that Miles reckon

419
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: Insto everybody to eat fish. Yeah, Like it can happen

420
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: from not enough sunlight, or maybe your if your skin,

421
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: if you're like melan you've too much melanin, you're not

422
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: making as much vitamin D. It can be a number

423
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: of things. You know, maybe your body doesn't absorb it properly.

424
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: So I should figure this out. It manifests itself as

425
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: like you become Mr Glass from you just chattering from unbreakable,

426
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: but emotionally only emotionally anything that comes out emotion very

427
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: emotionally fragile from this, What is something from your search

428
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: history that is revealing about what you're up to, just

429
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: a lot of like, what's the deal with sub stack?

430
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: Is sub stack transphobic? So do you guys know what

431
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: sub stack is? It's a newsletter platform, um, And it

432
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: hasn't been around that long, and it was supposed to

433
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: be like this great new hope for journalists because it's

434
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: like you can do your own thing, you can make

435
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: your own money, and everyone including me, is like a newslettering.

436
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: That seems cool, But then it turns out that they've

437
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: been giving money to certain writers, writers who tend to

438
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: be white men, who already have a platform, and they're like, no,

439
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: we're we it's private. If people want to talk about

440
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 1: us giving them money, they can, but it's not up

441
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: to us. It's private. Um. So they're doing that thing

442
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: where they're saying that they're they don't have an editorial

443
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: platform though, like this is an editorial This is just

444
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: like the way that you get your newsletter out there.

445
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: But then they pay certain people to use the platform.

446
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: So I would argue that they do have an editorial

447
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: point of view. I mean, and a lot of people

448
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: have been So I have my newsletter on it and

449
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: they're like paying people to say transphobic stuff. I'm like, well,

450
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: other companies are doing well essentially. I mean, if they're

451
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: paying someone who says transphobic stuff, then they're paying someone

452
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: to say stuff, right, Yeah, and not that my newsletter

453
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: makes This is not going to change my lifestyle if

454
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't have a newsletter for a while. But it's

455
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: just I hate how everything like, um, what's that thing

456
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: the milkshake duck? Like you can milkshake duck anything. Eventually

457
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: everything's bad, Everything turns out to be evil. What's milkshake duck? Yeah?

458
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking. Okay, So it comes

459
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: from this meme Oh gosh, now I'm not going to

460
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: be able to explain it well, but it's comes from

461
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: meme culture essentially, where like you find out that something

462
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: is or you think that something is really cool everybody, yes, yes.

463
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: The framing of it, yeah, where you see something and

464
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: then you expand the image and you're like, wait, like

465
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: this in this image that milkshakes drinking a duck. Zoom out,

466
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: it has not a swastika arm band on its foot,

467
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, yes, exactly. So it's like, I mean,

468
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: maybe and maybe that would happen to all of us.

469
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: Maybe we should all get offline before we get milkshake

470
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: duck because none of us are perfect. So that's what

471
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about as a erstwhile member of the media

472
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: these days. All right, now, explain to me what the meme? Yeah,

473
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: just choking? Hey, what's Chewbacca mask? Lady? Just people explain

474
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: memes to me, Like when I remember when Cropton was

475
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: describing TikTok's I think was one of my favorite ones.

476
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: Got this song where it's like, oh no, no, no, alright,

477
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: let's talk uh s about about the piece you are

478
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: reporting for. Knock l A. Is that uh you can

479
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: you talk a little bit first of all about that

480
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: publication and like how how the peace came came about? Yeah, definitely.

481
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: Um So knock l A is the journalism arm of

482
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: a nonprofit here in l A called ground Game UM.

483
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: And they do organizing around um, you know, like voter registration, UM.

484
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: They help people get the vaccine. They did some mutual

485
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: aid at the beginning of the pandemic, and I believe

486
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: that's still ongoing. So they're great, And they have this

487
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: journalism outfit that is doing some really great work as

488
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: far as independent media in the Los Angeles UM landscape,

489
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: there isn't too much of that, so they're a great addition.

490
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I reached out to them with a list that I

491
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: had got my hands on through some public records action

492
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: requests UM. And it's a list that the County of

493
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: Los Angeles keeps of litigation that they've been involved in

494
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: where deputy gangs have been involved. And I went to

495
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 1: knock and I said, hey, like this is UM. I

496
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: think this list could turn into, you know, a pretty

497
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: big project UM, and I'd love to work with you

498
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: to use this to sort of create a history of

499
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: what we know about deputy gangs in the Los Angeles

500
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department. And they said, yes, of course, let's

501
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: get started. And they were really great UM with helping

502
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: me first of all, pay for everything. UM. Although all

503
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: of this stuff is public record, you do have to

504
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: pay for it, and that adds up very quickly. This

505
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: series cost over three thousand dollars to just research. They

506
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: were really great with providing me with some research assistance

507
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: to get through quite literally tens of thousands of pages

508
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: of documents UM in the past six months. And they

509
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: gave me a great home for the website, and they

510
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: are helping me build a database of all of the

511
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: law enforcement officials that we have identified that have an

512
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: affiliate with a deputy gang, which will be available for

513
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: the public to use, and it will be a living

514
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: document that we will be updating for years to come.

515
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: That's awesome. So, I mean, for I think a lot

516
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: of people they've heard us talk about deputy gangs before

517
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: on this show. We've referenced it, We've talked about like anytime,

518
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: maybe it becomes a slight news story and then vanishes

519
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. We like to touch on it. But can

520
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: you kind of just walk us through the evolution of

521
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: the like the gangs within the Sheriff's department in Nelly County, Yeah, definitely.

522
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: So the gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Apartment

523
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: have existed at least since the nineteen seventies, starting with

524
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: a gang called the Little Devils that was based out

525
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: of the East Los Angeles station. There was a huge

526
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: event in the seventies called the Chicano Moratorium, which I'm

527
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: sure you've talked about on this show as well, um,

528
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: which was a demonstration of about people in East Los Angeles,

529
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: a heavy the Latin next area demonstrating against the Vietnam War.

530
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: And this event, it's alleged that Little Devils were a

531
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 1: part of a group of deputies that brutalized people at

532
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: this demonstration. Um, you know the photos from what happened

533
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: that they are atrocious. As jurnalist was even killed by

534
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: a deputy who shot a can of tear gas at him.

535
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: His name was Ruben Salazar. So after that happened, a

536
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: investigation was done or well, i'll say investigation invitations. Yeah,

537
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: so it was a chief was asked to identify members

538
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: of the Little Devils and a list was made. But

539
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: that's that's all that really happened with that as far

540
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: as we know, they were put on a list, and

541
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: from that point, I mean, deputy gangs were pretty much

542
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: allowed to flourish. Um. The sheriff at that time, Sherman Block,

543
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: he said um that he thought gang members probably got

544
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: a kick out of deputies being in a gang and

545
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: flashing gang science at them. At that time, we know

546
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: of at least um, let's see, following the nineteen seventies,

547
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: we know of probably four gangs that were functioning between

548
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: the eighties and the nineties. Those are the Wayside Whiteis

549
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: in the Wayside Honor Rancher Jail, the ave Men, which

550
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: was sort of like a second generation of the Little

551
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Devils at the East Los Angeles Station. And there were

552
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: the Linwood Vikings, which is probably the one um we

553
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: know the most about. They were based in the Linwood

554
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: Station and they were identified as a white supremacist gang

555
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: by a US federal judge. Um, you know, that didn't

556
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: mean they were exclusively white. They had several um, Latino

557
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: and black members. Um, they're Viking tattoos. They would change

558
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: the horns to signify their ethnic identity. And you know,

559
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: they would just essentially go out and terrorize people. They would,

560
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, hold families at gunpoint, um, and execute unauthorized searches.

561
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: They chased people and shot them. They murdered people. One

562
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: investigator that I spoke to, he believes that a deputy

563
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: is responsible for the murder of a client of his

564
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: that he represented in a class action suit against the

565
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department in the Linwood Station that was called Darren

566
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: Thomas versus Los Angeles. That case was settled in the nineties,

567
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: But that's how we got a lot of information about

568
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: the vikings was as a result of that case. And

569
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: in terms of like gangs, right, we used the term

570
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: gang and a lot of people if you're thinking of

571
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: a street gang, like they're involved in you know, drugs

572
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: or whatever other kind of racket, racketeering, whatever kind of activities. First,

573
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: what what are the activities of like a sheriff's deputy gang, Like,

574
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: what what are the act like what do we see

575
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: them engage in that is sort of specific to these

576
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: organized groups within the department. Yeah, I would say they

577
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: functioned pretty much like a typical criminal street gang. The

578
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: California Penal Code um there are a couple of signifiers

579
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: that they look forward to categorize something as a street gang,

580
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: one of which is a common hand sign, common tattoo.

581
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: We've got that and engaged in crimes. We've seen deputy

582
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: gangs engage in, you know, drugs, We've seen them engage

583
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: in robberies. We've seen them engage in d by shooting, yes,

584
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: drive by shootings, assaults, murders, so, you know, rape, pretty

585
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: much anything that a criminal streak gang does, the deputy

586
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: gang does. They're just doing it in uniform, right, and

587
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: using the authority of this state to justify the violence.

588
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: And then it seems like every time that they are uh,

589
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: somebody attempts to bring them to justice and the police

590
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: force of the city tries to like deal with the gangs.

591
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: There's a pattern of it being so weak or so

592
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: ineffectual the penalties that the gangs almost seem entitled to

593
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: do more and do worse, Like, at least so far

594
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: in your reporting the part that I'm up to, it

595
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: just seems like it's a pattern of them doing something

596
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: unbelievably you know, out in the open rutal racist they

597
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: get brought up on that and there's either settlement, but

598
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: there's never any criminal repercussions, And then that seems to

599
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: make the gangs feel like, oh ship, we can we

600
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: can do this and more right, oh yeah, in terms

601
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: of like saying right, we have to bring things into

602
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: the light of day, right to try and sanitize the situation.

603
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: What are the current obstacles, I mean, aside from you know,

604
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: systemic white supremacy that allows these sort of structures to

605
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: remain in place, are what are the kinds of awareness

606
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: that we can bring to the public to obviously create

607
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: more public pressure or how do we how what is

608
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: what is the way to remedy this, um, based on

609
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: what you've investigated. Yeah, Um, well, there are a lot

610
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: of groups that have been involved in this work for

611
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: a long time, which longer than I've been investigating it.

612
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: One in particular that I would like to point people

613
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: to to check the Shaff Coalition. They work with the

614
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: a c l U that has been monitoring deputy gangs

615
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: for years UM, and they're organizing around a lot of

616
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: things that could change these policies. Like one thing that

617
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: I learned about that I didn't know about was the

618
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: Peace Officer's Bill of Rights, which is a law that

619
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: exists in most states that gives UM law enforcement officers

620
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: the right to know everything about an investing a criminal

621
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: investigation that they are the subject of. They get to

622
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: meet with a union representative and a lawyer and review

623
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 1: all that before they talked to any investigators. The investigation

624
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: has to be completed within a year or they cannot

625
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: be charged. Um. And that's that's the case in most states. Um.

626
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: So this isn't. This isn't that's not specifically just a

627
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: Los Angeles problem. That's that's something that's happening all over

628
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 1: the country. But yeah, it's it seems like this this

629
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: is a problem, like when you read about reporting of

630
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: corruption in NYPD, like there's all all sorts of well,

631
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: it might not be like organized gangs with hand signals

632
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 1: like that. It seems like there's a very common problem there. Yeah.

633
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that it's impossible to bring them

634
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: to criminal justice under the current system, and that of

635
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: course they're going to feel entitled to continue to I

636
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: think the first your first report is called the protected

637
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: class UM, which I think is fitting. Right. Oh yeah.

638
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: One other thing I'd want to mention is, UM, when

639
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: we're looking at l A specifically about this UM. Another

640
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: reason why you won't see a lot of these deputies

641
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: charged in these shootings. Um, it goes back to the

642
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: district attorney. Right. The district attorney is the one who

643
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: decides whether or not they'll be prosecuted. The district attorney

644
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: and the sheriffs are now in the same union, I believe,

645
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: so you know, there's a really symbiotic relationship there. UM.

646
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: Oftentimes the police union, you know, they'll just straight up

647
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: threatened the district attorneys UM, and they'll say, you know,

648
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: like if you're going to prosecute our guys like, don't

649
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: count on us to show up and testify when you have,

650
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, a high profile case that type of thing.

651
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: The union will really hold people hostage. So there are

652
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people involved in this, right Yeah. I

653
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: mean even over the summer, like when even the city

654
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: council here was even mulling over defunding the police department

655
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: or law enforcement like the show of force to be

656
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: like hey we you know, a very like very seemingly

657
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: innocent being like hey, we're all here together. But when

658
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: you see a group of people telling you, oh, man,

659
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: like who's going to protect you? Who's going to protect you?

660
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: And saying things like that to somebody who's possibly in

661
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: a position to bring accountability, like, yeah, you see that

662
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: there's many things at work. That's a you know, propping

663
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: them up. Who's going to protect you from us? For instance? Yeah,

664
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: the the Salazar story was wild, like uh, that's kind

665
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: of where you're reporting starts. And so he was a

666
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: journalist who had been critical of law enforcement, right and

667
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: then he gets you know, shot and killed by a

668
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: crowd controlled device, which is something we're still seeing to

669
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: this day, like maiming people. Yeah, yeah, that story was

670
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: really hard for me um to read, because it's it's

671
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: like kind of like looking in a mirror, right, like

672
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: you doing the same stuff. Now I've been shot um

673
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: with less than lethal ammunitions by police. Um, yeah, it's

674
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: the same things are happening today, right, Like the work

675
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: that you're doing is so important and something that to me,

676
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: I would immediately begin to shy away from, like you know,

677
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: just to be like the fear that I already had

678
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: of in innately of police. But then for you, like

679
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: and the work that all people do activists around this,

680
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: I think is really impressive because yeah, like there are

681
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: examples of retaliation for those trying to bring them to account,

682
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: and like reading that on top of the history of

683
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: how these gangs operate, it's really just seems like a

684
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: like a like just a daunting task, but one that,

685
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: like you said, is absolutely necessary for people to become

686
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: aware of it because the more it just operates in secrecy,

687
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: then it's just gonna proliferate and flourish and well the

688
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, we're like, wow, how did this

689
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: get here because we haven't brought the attention to it.

690
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: So for that, like, yeah, very grateful for the work

691
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: that you and many others do in that in that

692
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 1: space because it helps us to sort of understand really

693
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: what's at stake in the city. The story about them, Um,

694
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a person in the community that they murdered,

695
00:39:54,719 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: and then that when that man's child is like a teenager,

696
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: they threatened the child basically too, saying like we we

697
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: have our eye on you. Like it's like they're generationally

698
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: like cruel and retaliatory against just anyone who crosses them. Yeah.

699
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: I was speaking to the family of Um, a family

700
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: member of Anthony Vargas yesterday, and that's a young man

701
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 1: who was killed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's apartment

702
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: UM Bendito s gang. And she was telling me that,

703
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, the deputies will park outside of her house

704
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: and talked to her nieces and nephews and threaten um

705
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: Anthony's older brother. So you know this, Like I said,

706
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: that story that you were talking about Jack, that happened

707
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: thirty years ago. But these same tactics like that that

708
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: that was going on this week unbelievable. All right, let's

709
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and talk

710
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: about something else, and we're back, all right, Well, I

711
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about UFO is real quick because apparently

712
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: someone just hit a little Russian nesting doll of legislation

713
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: in the COVID Relief Act last year that basically requires

714
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: the government to just provide the receipts, just bring it

715
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: all out, put it all on the table. And the

716
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: former Director of National Intelligence is saying that it it

717
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: could be big. Which one which d N I though, Uh,

718
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: it's it's your boy. Uh what's his name? Bad? Bad, terrible?

719
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: I think Trump Trump got he said, yeah, boy already already. Um,

720
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: but I was in peaked, as I often am anytime

721
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: somebody just gives me the barest crumb of UFO kind

722
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: of corroboration. But apparently there's gonna be interagency like reports

723
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: of like communications between agencies. He's saying that's gonna be

724
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: significant because there are like what we have right now

725
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: are like a single video where somebody's like, wow, would

726
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: you look at that? But there's a lot of examples

727
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: where these things are corroborated, and the thing that's corroborated

728
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: is doing something that isn't possible given current technology, like

729
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: breaking the sound barrier without a sonic boom. So like

730
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: the idea of like having multiple sightings that line up

731
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: with one another from different independent sources is always the

732
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: thing I look for anytime there's one of these, is

733
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: that those steel um, those steel plates they were finding,

734
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: Is that what you're referencing video? Wait, what's the steel

735
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: plates thing? Um? Well, so I listen. I grew up

736
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 1: in the Southwest, but my family landed in New Mexico,

737
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: so whenever I see uf UFO news, it barely registers.

738
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: So I'm just like, yeah, you know, um so, so

739
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to heavy be paraphrasing this. But there

740
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: were um like ten ft no, maybe it was longer

741
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: than that. They're huge steel plates found in like three

742
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: different locals. Those were art art projects, were art. Right,

743
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. What is more impressive to you the

744
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: idea that a UFO would you know, put different you know,

745
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: uh silver plates around the world, or that art students

746
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: had global travel. Yeah yeah, to take metal on the

747
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: plane and said, honestly, I'm more impressive. Build local, build local.

748
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: We'll save air flight a air fair money if you

749
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: don't have to bring the obelisk with you. Yeah. The thing, yeah, right,

750
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: your first obelisk is free of the south West. Everybody

751
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: knows that the I mean, I'm also curious, like if

752
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: this is meant to distract us from some other epic

753
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: failing of the government, because I'm sure that would be like, oh,

754
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: ship man, that don't fucking detail, isn't it, Like, Yeah,

755
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: we've just passed to Bill's voter suppression bills so severe

756
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: that you won't believe that they came from Joe Biden.

757
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: Well maybe you will. I don't know, uf check that

758
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: out over there. This is one of those examples where

759
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: I think the government and the people inside the government

760
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: are dumber than we like give them credit for. And

761
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 1: in this case, like every time we like, the more

762
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: candid they become about what is going on with UFOs,

763
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: the more they're like, man, I really want to know.

764
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: This ship is crazy. That's what I thought you were

765
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be like in contact with the men in

766
00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: black who are like neuralizing us like you, but they're like, yeah, man,

767
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. What do you think? What do you

768
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: think it is? I can't I can't tell. This is

769
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: like the most partisan measure, you know. Someone was like,

770
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: do you think we get the UFO infoe and Republicans

771
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: and Democrats were like unanimous, yes, yes, right, yeah, please yes,

772
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: alien It's really is gonna be like Independence days. Gonna

773
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: take aliens pulling up for people to figure their ship out.

774
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: They're like, all right, fuck it, I guess so now

775
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: that these being showed up, we are on the same

776
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: team called humanity. M That's that's one way it could go. Yeah,

777
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: or or we say or we say America, buckle the

778
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: funk up because we all got guns over here, and

779
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: we're like, do your worst aliens and in a fucking

780
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: fan of snap. All right, let's let's talk a little

781
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: self care here. I find myself doing this. I think

782
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people are finding themselves uh, not getting

783
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: enough sleep, procrastinating, letting things kind of hang over your head,

784
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: and then just like sitting on your phone in bed

785
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: for hours but not knowing that's what's going on. I

786
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of us know. Just close your eyes.

787
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: Is this you have you been in the darkness in

788
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: your bed and the only light is the cell phone

789
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: which is glowing on your face, and you're in bed

790
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: being like, why am I still on Narco TikTok? It's

791
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: been three hours and I'm laying down and what the fuck,

792
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: and you're just not going to sleep. There is a

793
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: parent There is a word for this that was like

794
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: a combination of two different studies, but they have now

795
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: they've called it revenge bedtime procrastination. The revenge part comes

796
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: out of a Chinese study, so like the way they

797
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: were labeling it just sort of translates like that, but

798
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: it it makes sense. But the way these experts are

799
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: describing it, revenge bedtime procrastination, they say is common in

800
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: people who feel they don't have control over their time,

801
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: such as those in high stress occupations or parents and

802
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: things like that, and are looking for a way to

803
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: regain some personal time, even if it means staying up

804
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: late because you're like funk, I have shipped to do

805
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: all day. Okay, the one thing I will do is

806
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: again I'll look at Narco TikTok and that will be

807
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: Paula go to sleep. Um. And it says when it

808
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: quote when it comes to the evening, they categorically refused

809
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: to go to bed early at a time they nobile

810
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: suit them best and enable them to get adequate, restorative

811
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: sleep and feel better. Nevertheless, there is a sense of

812
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: retaliation against life, so there's an idea of revenge to

813
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: stay awake and do whatever fills their bucket, and that's

814
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: that is, um like the idea of filling your bucket. Actually,

815
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: I found myself uh staying up to watch movies more

816
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: over the past like month, and I do find myself

817
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: like more refreshed than like having like having art like

818
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: put into my brain is like actually energizes me more

819
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: than uh just going to sleep an hour and a

820
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: half earlier and not having that. I think sometimes so

821
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: you're arguing on behalf of your revenge progression. Yeah wow,

822
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: but but then that might not be it for you.

823
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: If you're actually saying when I wake up restored, then

824
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you're suffering in that sense. Yeah. I

825
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: just found myself like being very focused on like, Okay,

826
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: I gotta get to sleep by this time. Uh. And

827
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, I started being a little bit

828
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: more lax on that and just like making more of

829
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: an effort to uh once my kids were in bed,

830
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: actually take the time to like watch something that was

831
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: interesting to me or you know, fill that bucket up

832
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I think it's been overall good thing.

833
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: I do have this eye twitch that you guys, uh

834
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: have probably noticed, uh, and one of my ears is bleeding. Yeah,

835
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: and you've only been shaving half of your face. And

836
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: I thought it was a style thing, and now I'm

837
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: just sort of like it's pretty cool. Get yeah alongside

838
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: beard toothpaste. And I was like, all right, Jack, I

839
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: think the movie theory is working. The shave path is

840
00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: fully made up, right. Know. The thing they say is

841
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: like if if you're a serial procrastinator or like the

842
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: things the personality types that may affect is like, you're

843
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: you are a serial procrastinator, Um, that's me for sure.

844
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: Or you have issues with self regulation, which they say,

845
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: like are you know you have traits such as like

846
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: impulsivity or being easily distracted. So if you haven't had

847
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: the time to process all of your emotions throughout the day,

848
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: you really just maybe using the end of the day

849
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: to do that, and that sets off this thing of

850
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: like I actually just need to have time to like

851
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: process a lot of ship. But it's manifesting in the

852
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: form of like just scrolling or whatever it is we

853
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: do at the very end of the day that keeps

854
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: us up forever. Yeah, so what do we do? This

855
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: is this is kind of tangential but rather the movie thing.

856
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: I've been lately, I've been pretty I'm knocking on what here. Lately,

857
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: I've been pretty good about going to bed at a

858
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: reasonable time. But I've definitely have phases like what you're

859
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 1: talking about. But I found that for a long time, um,

860
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: during the pandemic especially, I would just like I would

861
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: saying I watched Gavin and Stacey three times through is

862
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: like I would just watch like the same shows over

863
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: and over again, Like I'd watch Queer Eye again, and

864
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's great, I love it. But I have

865
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: found that when I watch like a screener instead and

866
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: take in something new, I feel like I sleep better.

867
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, right then kind of just looking at the

868
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: same wallpaper again. Yeah yeah, like something about you. I

869
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: guess it. Maybe it uses your brain a little more

870
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: to have to take in the new information rather than

871
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 1: the old. But just like jars, something loose or something, yeah,

872
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, I love the My favorite aspect

873
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: of this study is the idea of like one part

874
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: of your personality taking revenge on another part of your personality,

875
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: because I think that's I mean, that's so yeah. But

876
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: it's also like there is a lot of psychological research

877
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: that you know says it is helpful to just think

878
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: of yourself as having multiple people inside of you and

879
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: they're not obviously like it's not like this one is

880
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: named gin and she is the one who smokes, but

881
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: like just you know the wait, no, I want to

882
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: do this, tell me more about that will also help

883
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: me deal with my anxiety. So there's like anxious Charlie,

884
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: and then there's just like not anxious Charlie. At first

885
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: you gotta shave half your face right right exactly, and

886
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: then you want you want anxious happy normal. Yeah, I've

887
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: read it in the context of like addiction, and you know,

888
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: people who are making decisions in the short term that

889
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: they know are like harmful to the later version of themselves.

890
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: And there's that ends up almost like branching off into

891
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: two different versions of the self. Um. But uh, and

892
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: then yes, you do have to shape like make one

893
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: half of your face one of those people. Just let

894
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 1: people know you literally contain multitudes where the most mismatched outfits. Yeah,

895
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: half a button down and half a tanked up red sox, sir,

896
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: was this guy? Yeah? Oh wow, good point. Um. But

897
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: the a lot of the experts are saying you know,

898
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: the one of the best things in general sleep procrastinator

899
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: or not is to do something. Is the power down

900
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: hour of breaking up the last hour of your day

901
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: into three twenty minutes segments. The first twenty are dedicated

902
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: to things that need to be done. If you have

903
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: any loose ends, then need with some emails or whatever,

904
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: you have twenty minutes to do any real ship get

905
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: that done. The next twenty minutes for hygiene, so they say,

906
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: such as a hot bath, just something to relax you

907
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: just kind of probably bring your attention to your body

908
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,240
Speaker 1: again on some level. And then the final twenty minutes

909
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,760
Speaker 1: are for relaxation, so meditation, prayer, journaling, you know, whatever

910
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: that is. Do something like that just to kind of

911
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: bring your your energetic level down and be a little

912
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: more inward. I define, I can't agree more with the

913
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: hot shower bath thing. That's like my go to um

914
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: because it's just it. Whenever i've you know, we back

915
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: when you used to travel for work and you'd be

916
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: in an unfamiliar hotel room or something, I have trouble

917
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: sleeping and then you're thinking, like, shoot, I gotta be

918
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: up in like six hours to do this other fun

919
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: and then you did really wash these sheets, right, and

920
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: then you're like fuck it, I'm sucking on them anyway. Um,

921
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: then you take a hot shower just to really get that,

922
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: just to really settle your body down, and then getting

923
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: in bed. It makes it so much easier for me

924
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: to sleep. So it's also like a bath. Cultures like

925
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: like a Japan, Turkey, Finland, like those kind of places

926
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: like baths at the end of the day are very normal,

927
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: And I think there's another like inbuilt way to begin

928
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: your relaxation. Mm hmm. I really like this everything about

929
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: this that especially like I do feel like the first

930
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: the part that I when I'm thinking about like things

931
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: like self care routines, I often will leave out the

932
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: first step, which is take care of the things that

933
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: are going to be like hanging over your head that

934
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: is going to like take up so much energy. Uh,

935
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: and you're gonna like let it. You're just gonna give

936
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: so much energy to like that task, whereas you could

937
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: just like knock it out. It's like an email that

938
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: you'll knock out in five minutes, and also like limiting

939
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: that to twenty minutes, so you have twenty minutes get

940
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: that ship done and forget about it. Uh, that's the

941
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: part that I always forget and then just let these

942
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: like things that are hanging over my head and wake

943
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: up being like, funk, I didn't write that email right now?

944
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: Would be weird. If I write it at two thirty

945
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: in the morning, I'll wait and then you're like a

946
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: damn But it's like the days already started and the

947
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: first thing on my mind. But I've been having with

948
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: sleep all the time is like waking up really early,

949
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: like five thirty in the morning, and being like fuck

950
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: uh and then being like, I'm not gonna be able

951
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: to fall back asleep? Should I just get up? And

952
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: I'll be like, I'll think five minutes has gone by,

953
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: and then I'll look at the clock and it's like nine,

954
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: and I fall back asleep and didn't know it right

955
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 1: right right, right? Yeah? Yeah? Getting this ship done is key. Though.

956
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: You know a tip to anybody when you have ship

957
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: that you have to do just right. I'm not joking this.

958
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: It's the most like fucking overused tip. But write it

959
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: down on a list. The act of crossing something off,

960
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: even as being like right that email, it will lift

961
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 1: a tremendous weight off of your subconscious If you know,

962
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: even the physical act of being like, ye did that,

963
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And and then you can

964
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: make it easy. You've got three things like if you're

965
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: doing these twenty minutes, like even just right out those

966
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: three things that are on your mind that you don't

967
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: have to get done, just do it and go boom. Yeah,

968
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: it's so much. It's powerful, baby, Get you a post

969
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: it note. My to do list will have these like

970
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 1: uh if I let them, if I don't, like think

971
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: about it, they'll have like these very like vague, huge

972
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: things that I need to get done, like on them exactly.

973
00:55:52,760 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: It's like a dress relationship with with father. Okay, figuring

974
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: that I'll probably knock that out tomorrow, a different version

975
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: of me. We'll knock that out tomorrow. I have reckoning

976
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,520

977
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,759
