So I don't know. Just 46 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: to give you an idea of my struggle as a child, Okay, 47 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: I just discovered your magnum opus about why Bradley Cooper's 48 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: A Star Is Born takes place in an alternate reality 49 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: where nine eleven never took play. Yes, yes, I'm convinced. Um, 50 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: can you tell the people give them a little It 51 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: can't be fully encapsulated and just you know, a teaser, 52 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: but just to give they need to go check it out, 53 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: watch the watch the entire power point presentation themselves. Yes, 54 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: it is a twenty plus minute video essay where I 55 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: make the very strong case that Bradley Cooper is the 56 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: Star is Born starring Lady Gaga, is a movie that 57 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: takes place in an alternate reality where eleven never happened. 58 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: There's a lot of, you know, things to strengthen that 59 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: thesis statement that I you could just go to my 60 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: pinned tweet. It's my pinned tweet at Kate Raft. But 61 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things is that Alec Baldwin 62 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: was like, they get the host of SNL when Ali 63 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: was the musical guest for the season finale, And I 64 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: I thought this was back when you know, the movie 65 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: came out, Trump was president and Alec was doing all 66 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: the all the Trump impressions, and I was like, there's 67 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: no way Alec would be the host of the season 68 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: finale if this was a universe where Trump was president. 69 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: And then I like did a lot of thinking and 70 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: I realized Trump never got elected because nine eleven never happened. 71 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: And yeah, there's so many more things, but that's just 72 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: one of them. Yeah, the level of fame I found 73 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: very compelling that like he is pre nine eleven famous. Yeah, 74 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: he's like his genre is like country ish rock, which 75 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: like just isn't like a thing that is as popular 76 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: as it is in the movie verse. And it kind 77 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: of was headed in that direction, like Willcoe was getting 78 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: really popular right as not eleven hit And it's like, 79 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: what if we kept going on that trajectory exactly? And 80 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: I think that if the Dixie Chicks didn't get canceled 81 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: for saying George Bush was bad. There would have been 82 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: a more like politically ambiguous country music scene, whereas like 83 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: after an eleven, I feel like it became way more 84 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: like conservative, so I never happened. It would be more 85 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: like everybody would listen to country instead of it being 86 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: like this like politicized, like we love America genre that 87 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: it like ships. The film is meant to ask get 88 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: the audience to examine what our world would have looked 89 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: like had we not just launched into this failed war 90 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: on terror and exactly exactly, and as we get to 91 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: the twenty year anniversary of nine eleven next month, I 92 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: think it's important for people to watch my power point. Really, 93 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Oh? Something from 94 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: my search history?

He changed like a 103 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: thriving bar into the copper rocket. It didn't survive. Yeah, 104 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean did you so I'm guessing you also are 105 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: you watch bart Rescue too? Oh yeah, yeah myself.

I think, I feel like, I don't 172 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: watch the show, but it sounds like he's over too, 173 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: and it sounds like he also prides himself on like 174 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: being sweet at name. Yeah, he's like I know exactly 175 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: what he's like. Rocket sounds like a steampunk like sex toy. Yeah, yeah, 176 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: I thought I thought of something like a mechanical dog. 177 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: Penis is like right right, bring out the Copper Rocket. 178 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: And then sometimes he'll like change the name of the bar, 179 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: but he like won't get them a new liquor license 180 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: under the same the right like the new name, and 181 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: then they have to close down and they get screwed over. 182 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: Like three of the bars they were like, yeah, he 183 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: just like changed our name and got us a new 184 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: sign and all of it was illegal, right because we 185 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: can't do business as this thing because okay, so yeah, 186 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: little light Oprah kind of thing where people got the 187 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: car and then they didn't realize he had to pay 188 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: the tax Yeah, they had to pay the taxes. It's yeah. 189 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: So there was just a I wonder if he was 190 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: on Laurie Gram to like raise awareness of the bar 191 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,599 Speaker 1: Rescue marathon, like if that's why he was there. Honestly, 192 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: probably because that is all they show on Paramount, like 193 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: the channel, Like there's a whole TV channel that just 194 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: plays bar rescue all day.

Were talking about exactly what's 294 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated? So part of my 295 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: part of my trip is I was actually in South 296 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: Carolina and I got to go to waffle House for 297 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: the first time. And we don't have waffle houses up here, 298 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: so I think people are missing out on the on 299 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: the heaven like experience of waffle House. More More, I 300 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: think waffle House is underrated because we should have them 301 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: everywhere you get. Oh, I got so many things I got. 302 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: I got so many waffles. I got hash browns with 303 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: like the smothered and covered and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, 304 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: I I did. I I did all of it, and 305 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: I got enough variations that I was able to get 306 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: the full waffle house experience. I I stole a waffle 307 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: house smug. That was pretty fun. I first I first 308 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: asked the waitress can I buy the smug? She's like, no, 309 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: but you can steal it. I was like, okay that 310 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: I gave. I gave her a very good time. There 311 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: you go. It all comes out. It's actually something that 312 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: ties into a climate change because there's the waffle house index. Yes, 313 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: because waffle houses just never closed unless they absolutely have to. 314 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: People use the number of full houses that are open 315 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: on a given day as a representation of like how 316 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: how bad things are basically from yeah, now they all 317 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: have they all have like their backup generators. Yeah, they're 318 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: very very very good way of looking at you know, 319 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: disasters and localized areas. They're like sad, they were like 320 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: more industry should take note of waffle house such a 321 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: robust future forward. Uh, yeah, waffle house is underrated more 322 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: more more waffle houses, we think in the future, like 323 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: if it's like demolition my in style dystopia, like the 324 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: waffle houses like our refuge for the basin of civilization. Yeah, yeah, 325 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: it's that that's the one part of one part of 326 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: a mad Max fury or really like is when they 327 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: talk about like the Golden Arches or something like we 328 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: should just have that.

You'd have a better idea 360 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: about like minimum wage, for sure, you have a lot 361 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: of even he would have a better idea but a 362 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: lot of things. Yeah, if he was forced to always 363 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: work at a waffle house, Yeah, that would be like 364 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: a cool like if I was one of the guys 365 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: who worked for Biden and pod save America, Like a 366 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: waffle house tour of like America would be like a 367 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: good like kind of blue collary like gimmick that they 368 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: could do. And it's branded, baby, and it's branded. That's 369 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: it pays for itself, y'all. I mean, get the paperwork 370 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: up so you read for waffle House over the International 371 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: House of Pancakes. Yes, yeah, I have I have been 372 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: to eye hoops before, and they pale in comparison to 373 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: the to the beauty and the potential of waffle House. 374 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: Is there anything that even comes because I don't know 375 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: anybody who's like an eye hoop stand or even when 376 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: they went eye hobb with the Burgers they did that, 377 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: Oh man, I totally forgot about that. I actually like 378 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: I hop a lot, but I went abroad, so like 379 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm very international, you know, kind of have that euro flavor. 380 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be 381 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and let's talk about masking 382 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: laws around the country, specifically Texas, where they are basically 383 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: run by Republicans. All the all the big office holders, 384 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: all the big yeah, are all Republicans. And despite what 385 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: like present tense science is showing us, they're just like 386 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: nag can't can't, can't tell us what to do, yeah, 387 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: the name of personal freedom. And you know, we talked 388 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: about how there have been small little acts of rebellion 389 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: in Florida and Texas where people are like, I don't 390 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: give a funk with the governor is saying like this 391 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: sounds like absolutely assinine and dangerous to be like, dude, 392 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: you're not gonna can't can't force people to do what's 393 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: safe for everyone. That's absurd, And now we're seeing a 394 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: little bit of pushback. So we talked about how two 395 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: counties basically said we don't give a funk, we're gonna 396 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: mandate masks in schools. Fucking come come see me then, 397 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: and apparently the Supreme Court did. Governor Abbott was like, hey, 398 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, they're trying to flaunt my like my anti 399 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: mandate mandate, and they essentially blocked this initial mandate from 400 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: Bexar in Dallas Counties, and like, these are some of 401 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: the biggest school districts in the state that they represent, 402 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: so you know, it makes sense why they want to 403 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: keep it safe. So some commentary from officials there. The 404 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: city attorney in Bexar County, Andy Segovia, said that quote 405 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: he said, first of all, the mandate remains in effect 406 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: and quote the City of San Antonio and Bexar County's 407 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: response to the Texas Supreme Court continues to emphasize that 408 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: the governor cannot use his emergency powers to to spend 409 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: laws that provide local entities the needed flexibility to act 410 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: in an emergency. Okay, that makes sense. And then in Dallas, 411 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: the superintendent of the independent Dallas Independent School District said, 412 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, funk it, We're not We don't give a 413 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: funk with the court said like there's how can you 414 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: say we're we can't do this doesn't make sense to quote, 415 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: we're going to have the mask mandate tomorrow. We're going 416 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: to be benevolent, We're going to be nice, but we're 417 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 1: going to be firm and we're going to enforce it. 418 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean at a certain point, can they 419 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: just be like, we're going to do it from home? 420 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: Then like if you if you insist on not letting 421 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: people wear masks while we're in like, we'll go back 422 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: to feel like that's worse than the mask mandate, right, 423 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: because because Texas is so like we refuse to believe this, 424 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: a lot of school districts aren't even offering at home options, 425 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: like you have to be in school because it's all 426 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, like if you think about all the dynamics, right, 427 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: it's like they want the kids back in school to 428 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: alleviate the pressure on the adults that are workers so 429 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: they don't have to be at home with their kids. 430 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: There looks less of a crunch for the childcare because 431 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: they're at school again. But then on top of that, 432 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: if you do the mask, then you're reminding people that 433 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: the COVID rates are going out of control, which could 434 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: which could create another lockdown, which obviously entities like the 435 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce absolutely hate because they've been like, do 436 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: we have to keep the revenue following So, no matter what, 437 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: everything is just sort of linked to this idea of 438 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: like never wanting to acknowledge that it's bad enough that 439 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: something has to be done for the sake of just 440 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: letting business rip or business usual. I mean, I get 441 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: why it's better for the anti vax or parents to 442 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: like have their kids at school. I'm just wondering, like, 443 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: can they if it's not a mandate, can they just 444 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: be like, well, you're not allowed in our school, Like 445 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: what just go from home? Then? I don't know. And 446 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: because the governor, along with all these other rules, also 447 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: put in place rules where the school districts can't tell 448 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: parents if if kids test positive for COVID, they can't 449 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: share the number of students who have tested positive for COVID. 450 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: So it's like you, as a parent, even if you 451 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: don't want to send your kid in, you don't really 452 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: have the information needed to be like oh, I keep 453 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: my kid at home, or like oh, the numbers are 454 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: going off the chart, because they're just like nope, it 455 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: like how did you get those numbers? Yeah, Like the 456 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: governor says it's a secret, like we're not to say. Yeah, 457 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: he's though, despite the numbers going up, and also finding 458 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: out that he's been asking for assistance from outside the 459 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: state because the situation just becomes increasingly dire. It's like 460 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: so much you know, someone's double double speak and just 461 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: lack of acknowledgement happening that Yeah, it's just yeah, chaos 462 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: still continues. Yeah, I'm a fifth generation Texan, Like my 463 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: whole family is in Dallas, and I feel like, I 464 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: don't know. It's like the perfect example of just everything 465 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,959 Speaker 1: Texas is. Like on the one side, you have these 466 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: people who are like, we're never gonna wear our masks, 467 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: and then the other side you have these people who 468 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: are like, we will do whatever we have to do 469 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: to wear these masks, like we don't care, we have 470 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: to go to the Supreme Court and fight you. We 471 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: don't I know. In Houston, they like some people, they 472 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: did a restraining order against the governor. Yeah, so that 473 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: they prevent him from like being able to like, you know, 474 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: do anything about but wearing masks. So I just feel 475 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: like it's just like the two like staunches, like just 476 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: the most stubborn sides, like fighting against each other, right 477 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: in the stubbornest state and the most again, the most 478 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: stubborn state, and everybody's just kind of like I don't 479 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: know what to do, right, All right, let's talk let's 480 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: talk some fake meat. We we know that the copper rocket, 481 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: the cover rock, meet the cover rocket, that's right. We 482 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: know that, you know, the factory farming in the meat 483 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: sector is a huge contributor to climate change, and that 484 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: changing our diets can help slow down the rise of temperatures. 485 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: And just generally, I mean it's it's mainly the oil 486 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: companies that can slow down and you know, massively powerful 487 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: corporations and governments that can slow it down. But definitely 488 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: changes to our diets can help are are stubb in 489 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: the right direction. And yeah, so so people are doing 490 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: a study about just like what happens when you offer 491 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, the better fake meat. Impossible, because there's a 492 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: lot of talk about saying like well when the fake 493 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: meat reaches the same price as regular meat, because right now, 494 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: like you know, or impossible just like kind of reduce 495 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: their prices to sort of encourage more consumption of impossible meat. 496 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: But a lot of people like you know, speculating around 497 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: like when when is there gonna be a tipping point 498 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: where these like these alternative meats become you know, more 499 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: highly adopted. And again it's always been about price. They said, 500 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: if if it becomes just as cheap as beef, then 501 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: we'll probably begin to see an uptake in it. And 502 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: like right now, a lot of people project that alternative 503 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: meats could be around up to between eleven and two 504 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: of global meat eating. Right now, it's like not even 505 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: it's like a not even fraction of a percent. So 506 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: you know what is it's gonna be a flippable, a 507 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: light switch type change. Well, it's you know, it's not 508 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: so easy. So this student who was working on their 509 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: PhD project at u c l A sort of used 510 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: the dining hall u c l A as her experimental 511 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: lab because at the u c l A dining hall, 512 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: impossible meat and like a regular beef, they're off those 513 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: items are offered at the exact same price. So there's 514 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: nothing more expensive to go for the like meat alternative. 515 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: And so what she saw was when they sort of 516 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: unrolled or began to premier these impossible meat tacos and 517 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: burritos and salads and things like that, students about nine 518 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: fewer animal based entrees. But on the other side of 519 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: it was sales of vegetarian meals declined by four percent. 520 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: And so this is something a lot of experts have feared, 521 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: was that essentially that it's sort of reinforcing this idea 522 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: that we have a meat center diet no matter what, like, well, 523 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: if it's not real meat, there needs to be fake 524 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: meat because you gotta have meat in your diet. Not 525 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: not really people saying, oh, we don't. We can also 526 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: embrace like staple vegetables as well, and they're like, this 527 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: again a food eating trend being seen from They looked 528 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: at when chicken and seafood became more available than other meats. 529 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: American didn't. Americans didn't eat less beef or pork per capita. 530 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: They just ate more meat overall. And that's what's happening 531 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: around the world. We're like exporting this thing. So it's 532 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: it's yeah, I mean, I feel like I fall in 533 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,719 Speaker 1: line with that where I get impossible burgers. When I 534 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: want an impossible burger, like I will just crave that. 535 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: It's not that I'm like, oh, this is me making 536 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: a more healthy choice. It's just like sometimes I'm like, no, 537 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: I wanted impossible burger, so I'll do that, and I'm 538 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: not helping the world. Yeah, I'm the same. I love 539 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: I love impossible. That's my favorite of the meat alternatives. 540 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: But the way we all work is people and just 541 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: how things are marketed to us. It's clear, especially for Americans, 542 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: like the idea of meat being a thing you eat 543 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: to have your complete diet has just been like just 544 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: rammed into our skulls from birth, and a lot of 545 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: the experts like it's not just so much as being 546 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: able to offer cheap alternatives to beef, it's like we 547 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: have to de emphasize it to like culturally in saying yeah, 548 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: like when you do you know your fake food pyramid 549 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: for kids, like not having to sort of reinforce the 550 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: ideas like you've got to be eating that beef though, 551 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean if you want to grow kids, 552 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: because it's not exactly getting the same outcomes. And also 553 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: like we have a lot of subsidies the government. There's 554 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: a lot of government subsidies that sort of keep this 555 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: industry operating in the same suboptimal way that it is. 556 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: So more than that, it's like we gotta kind of 557 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: legislate this stuff to make it work properly. But yeah, 558 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, I mean the food pyramid that we grew 559 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: up on include two to three daily servings of meat. Yeah. Probably, 560 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I feel like, yeah, it's like you 561 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: should have me at the bottom is just all bread stuff. 562 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: It's like like twelve servings of bread, and then it 563 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: like makes space at the top for in some sweets, 564 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: you know, put candy, which I don't think is like 565 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: a necessary part of any diet. Yeah, candy, And yeah, 566 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's part of like for like more of 567 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: like a happiness diet. You know, give yourself a little candy. 568 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: But I mean, who knows the way that how these 569 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: sort of f d A charts are like created you 570 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm surprised it wasn't like and you gotta have three 571 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: Hershey Bars every week too to keep your bones strong. 572 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: But as a kid, that is how I saw. I'd 573 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: be like, mom, look at the top of the pyramid 574 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: it has. He's a candy of you gotta have dessert. 575 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: That is like a mandator. It's an impossible amount of foods, 576 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: beaking of impossible. It's like, all right, six to eleven 577 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: servings of bread, cereal, rice and pasta. That's so many 578 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: fun eleven serving I would be like I wouldn't be 579 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: able to move if I had eleven servings of and 580 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: like the secret year. The reason they're able to get 581 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: away with this is because like a serving is actually 582 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: really small, but that's but you won't know that, Like, Okay, 583 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: a slice of bread is one serving. So let me 584 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: eat this half a loaf, eat five pineapples, three heads 585 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: of cabbage, fucking big turkey legs, a cheese wheel, and 586 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: a little drizzle and maple syrup on it. It's like 587 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: this idea that you can eat your way to healthiness, 588 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: like by just getting all these different things in. And 589 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: it's just like, actually, the thing that needs to be 590 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: emphasized is like eating a little bit less we consume. 591 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the thing. It's it's it's all a 592 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: great funnel to just get people to like consume, consume, consume, consume. Alright, 593 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about the f a A. They recently announced 594 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: that they've reached a new milestone in record time after 595 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: going through three thousand, eight hundred and eighty nine reported incidents. 596 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: They have now charged people with funds that have gone 597 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: over one million dollars. So I think that we should 598 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: just take this as a as a report card and 599 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: say congratulations to America. We did it. We're killing it. Absolutely, 600 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: no one knows how to act. Everyone is on some 601 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: other about to snap type energy no matter what. Yeah, 602 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: there's like a sort of collection of some of the 603 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: fines that have been doled out, and these aren't just 604 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: like little slaps on the wrist. Some people are like 605 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: forty five thousand dollar fine against a passenger in May 606 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: of this year because someone was allegedly throwing objects, including 607 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: his carrying on luggage, at other passengers, refusing to stay 608 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: steed seated, lying on the floor in the aisle, refusing 609 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: to get up, then grabbing a flight attendant by the 610 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: ankles and putting his head up her skirt. The passenger 611 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: was placed in flex cuffs and the flight made an 612 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: emergency landing in Virginia. Another one is forty two thous 613 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: dollars for a passenger and may on Jet Blue from 614 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: a flight from Queens to Sam Francisco, allegedly interfering with 615 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: crew members, failing to comply with the face mask mandate, 616 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: making non consensual physical contact with another passenger, throwing a 617 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: plane card at a passenger and threatening him with physical harm, 618 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: making stabbing gestures towards certain passengers, and snorting would appear 619 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 1: to be cocaine from a plastic bag, which the cabin 620 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: crew confiscated. The passenger became increasingly agitated, and the crew 621 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: equipped themselves with flex cuffs and ice mallets to ensure 622 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: the safety of the flight. If his behavior worsened, they 623 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: had to divert to Minneapolis. I smell it sounds like 624 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: it sounds like a like Marvel Universe weapon. I'm assuming 625 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: it's just mollets to break up the ice. But yeah, yeah, 626 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: the little ones. Because sudden they get the bags of 627 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: ice on board, you gotta re you know, we used 628 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: to be an ice pick where you can't use that 629 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: anymore because it's a weapon. I guess do they have 630 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: whenever somebody's like on the flight. I mean, I don't know, 631 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: but I assume that's why they I've never heard of 632 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: an ice mallet. I assume that's just the thing that 633 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: they had to invent for a plane, right, yeah, yeah, 634 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: because I mean, like if you're breaking up ice, well 635 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: I don't know why you would have to break up 636 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: ice to your house, but usually you'd use like something 637 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: like an ice pick, right, you know, he's like a 638 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: meat tender before, Like, isn't that an ice pick? Like 639 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: old school? Like if you just got a block of ice, 640 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: you know, like and you're just like, hey, you want 641 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: to get sit there and chips at apart, and you're like, hey, 642 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: you wannaf you wanna cold the Scotch on the rocks, like, 643 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 1: and you're just like putting the fragments in a glass 644 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: on ice experts, let me know how this works. But 645 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: whenever I get a bag of ice, you just slam 646 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: it on the ground. Yeah. But I think if you're 647 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: a real deal bartender or sorry, mixologist, I think you 648 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: still have to you know, pick your own ice, Like 649 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: you have to have like bespoke ice cube shapes. Right, 650 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: of course you do the other thing. Another fine was 651 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: over thirty thou dollars for someone in January allegedly assaulting 652 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: passengers around him because someone in his row would not 653 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: change seats to accommodate his travel partner. He told his 654 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: travel partner he would need to bail him out of 655 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: jail for the physically violent times he threatened to commit. 656 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: The captain returned the flight to the gate where law 657 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: enforcement met the passenger. Southwest banned him from flying, and 658 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: then it says the f A does not put passengers 659 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: on no no fly lists. So whenever, whenever that happens 660 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: on my plan, I like to turn to the guy 661 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: next to me and go, I wonder which vaccine he got. 662 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean, like this, I feel like this stuff is 663 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: just a huge indicator for how angry, stressed, depressed, how 664 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: little fox people give at the moment. It's a little jarring, 665 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: you know, Like to the point where the last couple 666 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: of times I was on a plane, I was bracing 667 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: myself for ship to kick off. I'm like, please, Like, 668 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: if I hear someone like laugh loudly, I'm like, oh god, dude, 669 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm about to go down. Well, we just keep we 670 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: keep adding more and more rules to plane travel while 671 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: offering less and less service. So it's just like you 672 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: get in the airport and you're immediately having to do 673 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: the whole like t s a exam and now it's like, 674 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: you know, have your mask on at all times and 675 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: this and that. And then meanwhile, like flights are like 676 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,280 Speaker 1: canceled delayed. People are spending like you know, three days 677 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: on an airport and then you shove them into a 678 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: plane after all that, Like, yeah, it's gonna be some 679 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: bad stuff happening. I mean there it seems like the 680 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: airlines are understaffed as well. I had to change a 681 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: flight and spent five hours on on hold. We were 682 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: five hours, like I have the screen cap because we 683 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: were like, wow, this is record. We're just like doing 684 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: it as a bit. After a while, we're like there's 685 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: no way they're gonna like come on and like help us. 686 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: And then they did. They ultually came on. They were 687 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: super helpful and rebooked our flight for us. But literally 688 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: five hours of the whole time. And so I have 689 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: another theory here that because aren't flights not serving drinks 690 00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: right now? Like so I'm wondering if this is people 691 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 1: realizing they're not going to be able to order drinks 692 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: on the flight and like overshooting the mark when they 693 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: get drunk before the flight, and like so they're just 694 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: extra extremely because this all seems like ship that I 695 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: would have done when I was blacked out. That's at 696 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: various points you would have stuck your head up a 697 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: flight attendant skirting on it. I guess not all of 698 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: this stuff, but in the open, yeah, I feel like that. 699 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: That one felt like, oh no, I could, oh no, 700 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: the date on this. Yeah, it's you got a pre game, 701 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: and then sometimes you pre game a little too much, Yeah, 702 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: and it ruins the actual game because some of the 703 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: fines are also for people drinking outside alcohol on the plane, 704 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: like they're bringing it on board and things like that. 705 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's it's a combination of things. But 706 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: in general, I think there's also this like thing when 707 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: we're just reopening and things like that meant we just 708 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: don't we are were feral. Some of us are just 709 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: out here wild, you know, Like I mean, I got 710 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: in trouble and Staples Center, you know what I mean, 711 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: because I was too wicked against the Suns in the 712 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: playoff game. So yeah, I remember, I remember I took 713 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: my name down and Ship because I was screaming there like, 714 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: hey man, you you can't be screaming ship like this 715 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: from the stands. I'm like I'm sorry, God, I'm sorry. 716 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: It's a it's twenty I'm having a hard time and 717 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: I decided to get cathartic at the Laker game. Okay, okay, Yeah. 718 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: I mean when once you just like marinate in your 719 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: own house for about a year while all the news 720 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: is like, you know, teaching you different ways to hate 721 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: each other, it turns out once you stick them back together. Yeah, 722 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: it's not a great situation. Yeah, no, absolutely, Yeah. Have 723 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: you seen any Have y'all seen anything on flights? I 724 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: know DJ Daniel was telling me he saw something recently 725 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: when he was coming back, like his flight took a 726 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: minute to get to the gate because someone was wilding out. 727 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: But I don't know if after you all encountered unruly flights. 728 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 1: I haven't been able to fly. My wife is very pregnant. 729 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: To our last trip, we had to drive to Montana, 730 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: so we did it as a road trip and then 731 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: our in laws were taking a flight on the way 732 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: back and they got the flight got delayed like three 733 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: or four times in the space of I mean, it 734 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: was still a faster drive than it was a flight, 735 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, something about like knowing that you're gonna do 736 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: that drive seems preferable to you know, having the goal 737 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: post pushed back over and over while you're just sitting 738 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 1: in an airport somewhere.

No? I 774 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: mean yeah, hipp hop Hippopotamus is gonna protect them, and 775 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure, look, you know what's gonna happen. Somebody there's 776 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: gonna leak this ship and then it'll be all on wax. 777 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, But 778 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: that seems like that's what could happen to take the 779 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: wind out of some people's sales. Maybe it'll get I 780 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: don't know. Look, but here's the thing that's been passed around. 781 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: If you worked at Fox, they got this real nice alert, 782 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,959 Speaker 1: says dear colleagues, is all of you know. The health 783 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: and safety of our employees has been our priority at 784 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: Fox News Media since the start of the global pandemics 785 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: seventeen months ago. Whether at work or at home, the 786 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen pandemic has had a tremendous impact on all 787 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: of our lives. Here are some of the steps we 788 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: are currently taking given the recent rise in COVID cases 789 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: nationwide and the spread of the delta variant. One. We 790 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,280 Speaker 1: have asked all and it's like underlined employees, whether on site, 791 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: is part of our essential workforce or working remotely, to 792 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: upload their vaccination status into work day. That's how I 793 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 1: know this ship is real. They just said, um, and 794 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: then it's like this is being done for space planning 795 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. It says all employees must enter 796 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: their status in bold no later than today August seventeenth, 797 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 1: by the closed business. So that's a little that's interesting 798 00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people. I mean, it's not what you 799 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: that's not what's the air though, right, Yeah, what are 800 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 1: they doing it? Just to make sure that people aren't 801 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: falling for this VACS bullshit? You think that's what's going on? 802 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: Because I could actually see the person leaking it being 803 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: either you know, somebody who's like, ha ha Tugger Carlson 804 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,240 Speaker 1: sucks and I'm gonna show that he's full of ship. 805 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,399 Speaker 1: But I could also see somebody leaking it because they're 806 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: like they betrayed us by getting the vaccine type ship. 807 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: So either way, I don't care why you're doing it, 808 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 1: please leak this information. It's probably the anti vax people 809 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: don't want to be around all those vaxed employees and 810 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: they're worried about you able to do the more jellings 811 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: or whatever they're worried about. Yeah, Larry Cudlow is like, 812 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't be people like that. 813 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: Just I'm I'm all in on com futures. But is 814 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: Fox News even that popular anymore?

Hey, they're an enemy territory, you know, 838 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: they're just plotting from behind the lines. The Yeah, I 839 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: don't know. It seems like Foxes ratings are still pretty dominant, 840 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,280 Speaker 1: but we're just like not really paying attention. But they're 841 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 1: just as popular as ever. And then you will also 842 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: have the O, A, N, N and ship like that.

Yeah? I did develop 849 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 1: gray scale after I got the vaccine, But that's just 850 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: attack people in a boat, you know? Is that way 851 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 1: her hand was wrapped in that rag. I was like, 852 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: what would happen? Trying to keep that on the low, 853 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, a little gray Scaleye, have you tried sacrificing 854 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 1: your child to the fire guys? Oh yeah, that's the 855 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: one punches everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, my consultant, my gray scale 856 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 1: consultant has recommended that we're just kind of looking at 857 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: various options. Let's talk Canadian election real quick. Hell yeah, yeah, baby, 858 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 1: an election coverage. The thing that the Zeke gang has 859 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,399 Speaker 1: been clamoring for this is just it's always interesting. It's 860 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: like finding out about the laws of physics on another planet. 861 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: It's like, this is like they can, for instance, call 862 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 1: a snap election. So justin Trudeau just was basically like, hey, 863 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: we're having an election on September because he thought he 864 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: would get regain a majority in the House of Commons. 865 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: So it's like an impromptu election. What it was, dumb system. 866 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: It's like they don't even have like some right wing 867 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 1: talk show hosts to spend millions of dollars making a 868 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: new election. They can just call it. That's the election, 869 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,359 Speaker 1: dissolving parliament. Let's go, let's go do it. Let's go. 870 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: It was supposed to be October three, so we're going 871 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 1: we're going off too in two years one month early. No, Yeah, 872 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:14,240 Speaker 1: that's that's how math works. The Conservative Party tweeted out 873 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,319 Speaker 1: an ad using a jib jab animation from the year 874 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 1: twenty oh four. It's very wild. They basically just like 875 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:29,400 Speaker 1: copy pasted Trudeau's face onto Brucasol from Willy Wonka to 876 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,720 Speaker 1: be like he's complaining. He's a he's a complainer. And 877 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: people are just pissed at Trudeau for calling an election 878 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: at all, Like it seems like the worst thing that 879 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: he did was called this election. I love how polite 880 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 1: even the attack ads are in Canada. Like I remember 881 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 1: when I was in Toronto win this election in the 882 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: lead up to the election, when when Trudeau got elected, 883 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 1: and like the attack ads on him, we're just people. 884 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: People in bars and like other places were being like, 885 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 1: we just don't think he's experienced enough. And that was 886 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,360 Speaker 1: like I don't, like, I don't think he has the 887 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,279 Speaker 1: right ideas to be qualified, to be quite honest with you. 888 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: And here it's like he's a fucking demon who eats 889 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,839 Speaker 1: fucking puppies. Like wow, I think the slogan was he's 890 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: just not ready. So this is a bunch of people 891 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: being like he's I just don't think he's ready, and 892 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: which like leaves the possibility it's like I might consider 893 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: him if he was ready, but he's just not, so 894 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 1: I guess I'll be voting Conservative this year. Yeah. And 895 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 1: the other thing is like to your point of like 896 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 1: why are you calling an election right now? Because it's 897 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: a very like you're saying there's a there's another wave 898 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: of COVID happening because the delta variant is also making 899 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 1: its way through Canada, and a lot of people are like, 900 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: this isn't the right time, Like it just shows a 901 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,799 Speaker 1: disconnect between the politicians who are like, well, I know, 902 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: trudeaus or of logic is I did a great job 903 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: with COVID, so maybe I'll cause an app election. They'll 904 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 1: come back, they'll help vote liberal and give me a majority, 905 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: and then that will help me out without realizing people 906 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: are fucking just exhausted and drained, and then you want 907 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: them to vote in person during another wave of the pandemic. 908 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,879 Speaker 1: And they're also like, vote by mail isn't a really 909 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 1: popular thing in Canada either, so it seems like a 910 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: bit you have to vote by moose. Oh boy, there 911 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,919 Speaker 1: it is all right, but yeah, just yeah, And they're 912 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 1: saying like his numbers aren't even like strong, like they 913 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 1: they think that he's probably going to get the same, 914 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 1: like he won't even get the thing he was hoping 915 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: for at this point, So shout out to Trudeau. Kind 916 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: of a cell phone it seems like this reminds me 917 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: a little bit of like the Brexit thing, where they 918 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,439 Speaker 1: were like, Okay, let's do the sensible thing and hurry 919 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 1: up and get this over with, and then turns out 920 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: people aren't as rational as as the liberals think they're 921 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: going to be. I've made a terrible mistake. But yeah, 922 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 1: a ton of money to have an election and then 923 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 1: just kind of be like, oh, I got the same votes. 924 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 1: Huh fuck. All right, well, I guess they don't like 925 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,319 Speaker 1: me as much as I thought. Alright, let's take a 926 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk about important 927 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 1: stuff like the new host of Jeopardy. And we're back 928 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 1: and school is back in sash Baby and some some 929 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: parts of the country Nevada, Florida, msissip. Yeah, how's how's 930 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: it going, Miles? I mean, just a cursory look at 931 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 1: the headlines and it's they're terrifying. Okay, So, just I 932 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,760 Speaker 1: just searched school COVID this morning because I'm just because 933 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,759 Speaker 1: you know, I saw one thing about like in so 934 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: in Florida, four teachers just died of COVID, like before 935 00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 1: the school you even started. So it wasn't that they 936 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 1: got it in school. But they're like four teachers aren't like, 937 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 1: are like the students are going to find out that 938 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: their teachers passed away like days before the year started. 939 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: And they said that three of the four were unvaccinated, 940 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 1: or at least three of the four were unvaccinated, according 941 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 1: to the school union president. And they were like on 942 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,800 Speaker 1: summer break when they caught it and just practically passed 943 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 1: away right before the school you and I was like, 944 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 1: oh my god. So then I was likely working service 945 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: jobs to supplement their income, but who knows. Yeah, But 946 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 1: then you see another thing. In Florida, four hundred students 947 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 1: and faculty must isolate after a COVID exposure at school. 948 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 1: So for over four hundred students in Palm Beach County 949 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,720 Speaker 1: they had to quarantine just two days after school began 950 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: because of a corona virus outbreak at school. And so 951 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, essentially, like when school began, fifty one 952 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: students and staff at tested positive. So in total, four 953 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,720 Speaker 1: hundred forty have had to isolate. I said, oh my god. 954 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 1: And this school has a mass mandate, but parents can 955 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: opt out, so it's not I don't know what the 956 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,720 Speaker 1: point of that mandate is. Then you look at Nevada. 957 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 1: This other one said more than eighty students were potentially 958 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,880 Speaker 1: exposed to COVID nineteen on the first day of class 959 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 1: in Reno, Nevada on Monday, after a parents sent their 960 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,760 Speaker 1: child to school despite both the parent and child receiving 961 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,840 Speaker 1: a positive COVID nineteen test just two days earlier. The 962 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: exposed students had to quarantine at home and started distance 963 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 1: learning on Tuesday. I mean, so my question, the number 964 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 1: of car wrecks, the numbers in Florida are worse than 965 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,919 Speaker 1: they were at the peak of of COVID, like last 966 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 1: year when everybody was doing distance learning. It just feels 967 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 1: like I was just talking to a friend of mine 968 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 1: who like works in software sales and was doing a 969 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: demo thing for a bunch of clients, and he was 970 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,680 Speaker 1: talking about how at the beginning of the day everyone 971 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,680 Speaker 1: was masked because they didn't know each other, but by 972 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 1: the end of the day he was the only person 973 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 1: wearing a mask. He's like, it's not like we got 974 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,600 Speaker 1: more vaccinated over the course of the day, but people 975 00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 1: just got a tired of it and be just like 976 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 1: more comfortable. I guess with and I feel like that's 977 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,959 Speaker 1: where we're at with just the pandemic at large. We're 978 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: just like done, tired and also just comfortable with the 979 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,560 Speaker 1: idea of dying of COVID. Yes. And I think a 980 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,759 Speaker 1: lot of people too, they have like their own like 981 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,880 Speaker 1: flawed anecdotal data set that says, Dude, I've been doing 982 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,320 Speaker 1: my ship and I've been healthy or I haven't gotten sick, 983 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 1: so what is and now I'm vaccinated even better? You know, 984 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of there's a lot of psychological 985 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 1: things that too, that like I think, make people not 986 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 1: necessarily that they're like, I don't give a funk if 987 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: I die. More so, like I mean, based on this 988 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 1: current plan on on, I've been doing great, So why 989 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 1: the fund should I change any thing? And I think 990 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,280 Speaker 1: that's where I think for even my I find myself 991 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 1: feeling like that too. But then I'm like, oh, right, 992 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 1: but prior to this, I was not socializing. I was like, 993 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 1: I was taking my safety very seriously. And it's not 994 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: it's not that I was out in high risk situations 995 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 1: constantly and not getting sick, but like we sort of 996 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: begin to, you know, rearrange the order of things that 997 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: sort of make ourselves more comfortable with things at least 998 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 1: for me. That's how that's happened the c d C. 999 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 1: I think it was a director of CDC or some 1000 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 1: health official straight up said it was like weeks ago. 1001 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,439 Speaker 1: They were like, if you're not vaccinated, you are going 1002 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 1: to get the delta variant. Like that is how communical 1003 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: like it is it's happening when not if it is 1004 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 1: a thousand prevalent in the nasal cavities of people, even 1005 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:54,799 Speaker 1: people who are vaccinated, who have breaks from infections, there's 1006 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 1: a thousand times more COVID particles. I don't know. I'm 1007 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,439 Speaker 1: not as signed just but I heard someone say someone 1008 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 1: at work, and this is not a scientist, this is 1009 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 1: someone just at my work, but so it could be wrong. 1010 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 1: That might as well be a fucking Nobel prize. Someone 1011 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: of my work was like, the regular COVID is like 1012 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 1: a spray bottle and the delta is like a hose 1013 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 1: in terms of just like gonna get it, yeah and again, 1014 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 1: and you look sorry. I wasn't even done with the 1015 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 1: headlines because we have to take a trip over to Mississippi. 1016 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:36,440 Speaker 1: Five thousand in isolation after three days of school was 1017 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 1: a headline. Nearly and from the article quote nearly five 1018 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 1: thousand children, educators, in school staff or quarantined in Mississippi 1019 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 1: after returning classrooms at the start of the school year. 1020 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 1: Some under mask optional policies. The sixty nine outbreaks reported 1021 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 1: between August second to August six, which is the second 1022 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: week of school for some districts, resulted in nearly one 1023 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: thousand teachers or one thousand children and three hundred teachers 1024 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:05,120 Speaker 1: and staff testing positive. Oh my god, that sucks so bad. 1025 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: I can't even say nice after you said sixty nine. 1026 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 1: I can't even either, And I famously love six or nine? Yes, 1027 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: did I say sixty nine? Oh yeah, I mean that's 1028 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: how bad it is. You didn't even notice. You didn't 1029 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,480 Speaker 1: even notice that you said sixty nine. Things that culture 1030 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 1: back to. It's a shame, but yeah, I mean it's 1031 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,439 Speaker 1: just I don't know there Every article you read is like, 1032 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 1: it's a bad nothing's turning out great. I think the 1033 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 1: best piece of news with God is that Blallapalooza only 1034 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 1: like could be attributed to like maybe just under two 1035 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: hundred or like around two infections from Lallapalooza, so it 1036 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 1: wasn't like a super spreader in vet. That's good. I mean, 1037 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: like it's not good, but better than I thought. Look 1038 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 1: at these pictures right for as many people You're like, 1039 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 1: but it seemed like but it's like, what is it 1040 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 1: because because it's outside outside, is still outside? Is still 1041 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 1: the way to go? Yeah? But still not if it 1042 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: seems you know what I mean. And and again you 1043 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,520 Speaker 1: have people who were unvaccinated to there who just had 1044 00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 1: to bring negative tests and things like that. But it's 1045 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 1: just the hard part about reading all these headlines is 1046 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 1: like you just know that this is going to end 1047 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: tragically before they figure out that they should have never 1048 00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 1: gone like gone back to in person instruction without these 1049 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 1: like really simple safety precautions and measures put into place. 1050 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: And I've I'm not a parent, Jack, I know you're 1051 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: a parent allegedly, and some people I know that our parents, 1052 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 1: but like my heart goes out to you all because 1053 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 1: like having to navigate this world where it seems like 1054 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 1: other parents ideas of safety is diametrically opposed to yours 1055 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,040 Speaker 1: in the sense that it's like this antithetical things like well, 1056 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 1: we're just kind of dice rolling it with our kid, 1057 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 1: but we've but we feel this is safe. It just 1058 00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 1: feels like total chaos. Yeah, I mean at chaos. We're 1059 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 1: not back to school yet. Mm hmm. I have to 1060 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: just based on last year, it seems like everybody was 1061 01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,440 Speaker 1: very into the precautions. So I'm hoping that we have 1062 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,280 Speaker 1: we have the right community for it. But yeah, man, 1063 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 1: it's it's so scary. I have a couple of friends 1064 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 1: who are teachers and we just had a big party. 1065 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 1: I mean not a big party, you know, like eight 1066 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 1: of us came over to their house to have like 1067 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 1: a by see until school years over, like because we're 1068 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 1: all vacs their vacs. But they were like, yeah, like 1069 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 1: we're just gonna be like vectors of disease for a 1070 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 1: little bit, like we're gonna get COVID, like just because 1071 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 1: they're going back to in person learning. And they're like 1072 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,919 Speaker 1: they're very scared. They're not feeling good about it. Yeah, 1073 01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, so this these are the steaks right now, 1074 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 1: and it's the most wonderful time of the year. It 1075 01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 1: turns yes, yeah, it's not. It's fall. Yeah, the fall. 1076 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,840 Speaker 1: It's the all. It's the fall. It's fall, it's the fall. 1077 01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: Why is that? Why does the South go back so 1078 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 1: early to school? Yeah, I news to me. I didn't 1079 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 1: know that I remember when I lived in Kentucky, we 1080 01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: would go back to school at the beginning of August. 1081 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, so it's extra hot and uncomfortable, 1082 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 1: so we're gonna go back Because it's the South. It 1083 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,920 Speaker 1: doesn't fully make sense. Maybe it's like a farming thing 1084 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 1: or something. It seems just based on a quick search, 1085 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 1: it seems like has a lot to do with farming. 1086 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 1: Earlier start of the season. Southern students or get out 1087 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: sooner in May to help on the farm than Northern 1088 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 1: students who probably got out of school in June, so 1089 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 1: because they go back to school in August, while the 1090 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,919 Speaker 1: Northerners go back to school in September. What about so Cal? 1091 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,000 Speaker 1: We're just vibing.

It's like, no, this is nothing to do 1142 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: with making money, and they're like, oh why, and like 1143 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 1: they just weren't prepared to answer questions on well how 1144 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 1: are you? Then you're not a serious candidate. But again, 1145 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 1: very serious campaign, very serious, and you know, you move on. 1146 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 1: We're in a fucking pandemic. So not just you know, 1147 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 1: the unhoused, which I get is a really popular talking 1148 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 1: point to just smear the poor, but also trying to 1149 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: say like, you know, hey, do you want to run 1150 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: this state, what about COVID? You know, what do you 1151 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: think about you know, like vaccine mandates and things like that. 1152 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 1: That might be something you'd probably won away in on 1153 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,040 Speaker 1: as the potential governor. And then this is just another 1154 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,439 Speaker 1: great answer of just rapid response. You could tell she's 1155 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,760 Speaker 1: been thinking about this. It was a no brainer to 1156 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: respond to such a simple question. What's your plan on 1157 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,200 Speaker 1: how to deal with the delta varian if you're governor? 1158 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 1: Right now, we have to follow the science California mandating 1159 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 1: mass in schools. Republican governor the Santis is fighting against 1160 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:10,840 Speaker 1: masks in schools. Should kids in schools be wearing masks? Um, 1161 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 1: that's really up to the science of it. I'm the 1162 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:20,600 Speaker 1: CDC says they should. Yes, that what the CDC says, 1163 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 1: But to be honest with you, I'm I don't know 1164 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 1: if that is the answer masks. Wait, so you said 1165 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,920 Speaker 1: do what the CDC says. Yeah, we should follow the science. 1166 01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,200 Speaker 1: But to be honest, I don't know if science is 1167 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 1: the best thing. Oh my god. Then when someone like 1168 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 1: in the crowd, like like during like the press spray, 1169 01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 1: like when people are just choose taking questions, someone's like, 1170 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 1: what do you think about mandating vaccines? Blah blah blah, 1171 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:51,880 Speaker 1: and she's like, I'm here to talk about the issues 1172 01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,600 Speaker 1: of the day, like referring to the unhoused. And then 1173 01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: another part is like we're in a pandemic though, creeky, 1174 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,920 Speaker 1: so oh my god. Yeah, we're very lucky in the 1175 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 1: state of California to be looking down the barrel of 1176 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: just you know, bringing back fucking Gavin Newsom was not 1177 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,080 Speaker 1: doing the best or just a Republican to fully fuck 1178 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 1: things up, so so fun September four, Californians, Do you 1179 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 1: know that, like you know that, like Caitlin running this 1180 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,240 Speaker 1: like joke of a campaign, and then Kanye is like 1181 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 1: whatever that was the birthday party thing. Like Kim is 1182 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 1: sitting back and she's just like taking notes, like she's 1183 01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 1: she's like definitely going to be running in the next 1184 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 1: like five years for something attorney general. These are the 1185 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 1: guinea pig campaigns testing out the waters for Kim Kardashian. Right, 1186 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 1: She's like becomes like a total autocrat. She's like, I've 1187 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,439 Speaker 1: been studying the great mind for decades and it's time 1188 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,680 Speaker 1: for me to make my move. I mean, that would 1189 01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 1: be the one campaign that would be frightened of that. 1190 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm terrified because she's gonna have Chris Jenner in her corners. 1191 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: So she's like, yeah, I know, Chris, Chris Jenner's a mastermind. 1192 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 1: But before any of that happens, we're going to see 1193 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:16,559 Speaker 1: how the Donald Trump jing her Scott Disick ticket works 1194 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:27,840 Speaker 1: out in the exactly, yes, bring them together. Oh there 1195 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 1: was another thing I want to mention during this like 1196 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,360 Speaker 1: walk and talk tour of you know, of trying to 1197 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,760 Speaker 1: appears like a serious candidate who's trying to address things 1198 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 1: like the on house population in the in l A. 1199 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 1: She was like walking with like three like homeless miss 1200 01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 1: advocates who were like trying to explain what's going on 1201 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,720 Speaker 1: and what's needed, but they were also like pretty hostile 1202 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 1: with her. And even though this is like an event 1203 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 1: maybe like I'm gonna be talking with advocates, none of 1204 01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: them were like, oh yeah, I'm not. I would never 1205 01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,080 Speaker 1: endorse her, Like she want to talk, I'm telling her, 1206 01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling her as a candidate, like what's needed. But 1207 01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,240 Speaker 1: like none of those people were there as to be 1208 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 1: to endure Sir at all. So the whole thing was 1209 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 1: like a very bizarre press event. Yeah, this is one 1210 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:11,559 Speaker 1: of those unfortunate political situations where I think Californians need 1211 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 1: to get out there and vote for the lesser of 1212 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,679 Speaker 1: two evils, because if you know, it's, yeah, there's gonna 1213 01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:22,480 Speaker 1: be a lot of Republicans who are voting, and Californians 1214 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: just all need to go out and vote no, and 1215 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 1: then we'll hopefully do better at the next primary because 1216 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,759 Speaker 1: the other thing is generous behind in the poll, Larry 1217 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 1: Elder is in front, the black conservative radio host, so 1218 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,679 Speaker 1: you can only imagine what kinds of ideas for progress 1219 01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 1: he might have or doesn't have. But yeah, It's truly 1220 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,600 Speaker 1: a fucked if you do and super fucked if you 1221 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 1: don't kind of situation, because, like I said last time, 1222 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: if Diane find Sign were to go down, the governor 1223 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 1: is the person who would pick the replacement, the interim 1224 01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 1: replacement as a senator. So if that were to happen 1225 01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,759 Speaker 1: on their watch, you could now just see the Senate 1226 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 1: math going real wacky all of a sudden, And also 1227 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,799 Speaker 1: a lot of the executive appointments they could just replace. 1228 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: The policy stuff would be a lot harder because of 1229 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,400 Speaker 1: the veto proof majorities in the legislature, but the other 1230 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 1: stuff as it relates to executive appointments and those other 1231 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 1: responsibilities could easily cause plenty of fucking just nonsense. Fine 1232 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 1: Stein's pretty old too, Yeah, turns out hearns out. All right, 1233 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,759 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it.
