57
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,880

66
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,400

00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: all right, well, I'm fuck. We're not gonna be able

76
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,560

77
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: it's nothing, completely nothing.

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: It will tunnel. They will build a city through tunnels

79
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: of snow, just to yeah they did, it matters not

80
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,120

81
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: trying to build an entire like snow removal apparatus, like

82
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: it's the first they've heard of snow every time that

83
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,719

Speaker 1: I've heard tell of winter. Yeah. What is something from

87
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are? I?

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: I think this morning looked up who is the dacy

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 5: girl from the Rihanna Bitch Better Have My Money music video?

90
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 5: Because she had a dacy henchwoman who was like gorgeous,

91
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 5: amazing whatever, And like I was like, what happened to her?

92
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 4: And so I looked her up.

93
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 5: Her name is Sanam Cindy, and she's still like doing stuff,

94
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 5: still active. She seems awesome. I want to see her

95
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: in more things. I don't know, that's what I looked up.

96
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 5: Sometimes I'll have a memory from when I'm like a

97
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 5: kid and felt representation and was like, what happened?

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 6: Who was that?

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: Who was that? Yeah? Just like wake up?

100
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: Why was now the moment and not when you first

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: saw the video?

102
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 5: Oh? I did look her up, but then it's been like,

103
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: however many years I was obsessed with her? And then

104
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 5: but like I hadn't like thought about her in a while.

105
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: And then some some like real popped up or something

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 5: and it was like Rihanna made that song because she

107
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: wanted her money, And I was like, I don't know

108
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 5: this backstory, but what happened to that girl?

109
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: Like what happened to her?

110
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: I do love those explainer videos that have the most

111
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: baseline obvious explanation. Yeah, so she actually really wanted to

112
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: say money.

113
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were talking to you.

114
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: I am depressed to admit that.

115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: Like on Amazon Prime, when when you pause it, it

116
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: tells you all the actors in a scene, and it's

117
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: so like obnoxious and idiotic, and I find it immensely helpful.

118
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 5: That's like the pop up music video on v H one.

119
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 5: Do you remember how I had all those pop up facts?

120
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 7: Yeah?

121
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: I love that. I would do that with every like

122
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 5: animal actor. I'd be like, what's their backstory?

123
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: What happened? Which phone is still alive?

124
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: Right? What's this guy's deal?

125
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 7: Yeah?

Speaker 2: I know.

128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 5: Put me on a set and I'll just be with

129
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 5: the dogs in the corner.

130
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: The dogs are I feel like always dead by the

131
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: time I look it up.

132
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: Don't say that you don't know.

133
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know by the time I look it up,

134
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: which usually you know. I watch a lot of classic films,

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just feel I feel like they don't

136
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Like Frasier dog was like gone way too soon?

137
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: How dare you? You better shut your mouth, Jack O'Brien.

138
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Wait, you thought he should have been dead sooner? Is

139
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: that what we know?

140
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 5: That dog is running out of a farm Upstates?

141
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: You don't acknowledge the passing? Okay, gott I gotta get it. Yeah, yeah,

142
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: what what do I know? So you you don't look

00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: it up? I got it? What is?

144
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: Sometimes I text Jackieth like a picture of a dog

145
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: from a movie, and I'll be like.

146
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: He's probably still alive.

147
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: Right, that happened in the seventies.

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: No, and I'm like, we're breaking up.

149
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 7: Fuck you?

150
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: What Chris? Is something you think is underrated?

151
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 8: Underrated? I would say, I can't remember what my idea

152
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 8: was for this. It's it was gonna be. I think

153
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 8: it was gonna be that it was on my audiobook

154
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 8: was underrated again, just so I can promote it. It's done.

155
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 8: Advice King Anthology is done, and yeah, and it took forever.

156
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 8: And I don't know how anyone records an audiobook except

157
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 8: to use AI because you have to have someone who

158
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 8: can donate fifty hours of high quality studio time, which

159
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 8: is the equivalent of making like fourteen indie rock records.

160
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: Right, you know what I mean?

161
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 8: Like I don't know how that you know, Like the

162
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 8: budget is like I don't even know have the budget

163
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 8: of an indie rock band for this thing. So anyway,

164
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 8: but it's done, and so that's underrated only because it's

165
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 8: not even out yet, but also I need people to

166
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 8: buy it because it's like ten it's gonna be ten bucks.

167
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 8: It's hilarious. It's like three and a half hours of

168
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 8: me doing stand up basically, I mean I can't read

169
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 8: these columns without getting And my mom does the internation. Yeah,

170
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm just well, I'm just performing the columns

171
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 8: like because they're like a lot of them are just

172
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 8: straight up stand up except written, and so I had to.

173
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 8: That's why it's it's gonna be fun. It's like a

174
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 8: comedy album, and it's got some like serious stuff in

175
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 8: it about depression and things like that, but it's it's

176
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 8: gonna be a lot of fun. And my mom does

177
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 8: the introduction because Tracy Moore, who wrote the introduction, she's

178
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 8: a journalist out in Los Angeles, she couldn't do it.

179
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 8: So it's like, oh, how great I am or whatever,

180
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 8: you know, it's like a nice it's the introduction to

181
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 8: the book, like, you know, who would be good at

182
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 8: reading something about me that's like really positive. So I

183
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 8: got my mom, who's eighty three, and she was so

184
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 8: psyched to be in the studio and everything.

185
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: And she, oh, that's great.

186
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 8: She she rehearsed by reading. She's like, I need the

187
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 8: book and I was like, I don't have a copy

188
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 8: of it. She's like, I need the book to practice.

189
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 8: So she was reading like obituaries out loud. The newspaper

190
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 8: just toget her.

191
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I get ready for this show every day.

192
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 8: I never I never practiced anything in my life. So

193
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 8: I was just like blown away.

194
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: What, Chris, what something you thinks overrated?

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: Overrated?

196
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 8: Is this any news media right now that is covering

197
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 8: any cable news Every single bit of it should be

198
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 8: should be thrown out the window. I mean everybody knows that,

199
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 8: but especially now because I'm so tired of hearing about

200
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 8: these tech guys Muskin Suckerberg, and there's a small list

201
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 8: everybody knows of my guests Larry Ellison, and and and

202
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 8: Peter Tiel and all and and uh, you know they

203
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 8: they're not They say, oh, they've accrued as much wealth

204
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 8: as during the Gilded Age, or like, we haven't seen

205
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 8: this much wealth. But this isn't a matter of wealth.

206
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 8: This is a matter of power. And they keep discussing

207
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 8: this without without mentioning the richest person in the world

208
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 8: didn't own the news, The richest person in the world

209
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 8: didn't couldn't meddle in in in government affairs in me

210
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 8: and mar by shutting off or turning on Spacebook. These

211
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 8: people have power unparalleled in human history. These people are

212
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 8: kings of the whole globe. There wasn't even an inter

213
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 8: connected globe until four thirty years ago. So the idea

214
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 8: that they keep getting discussed, well, it's getting really bad,

215
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 8: getting really bad talking about this in terms of money.

216
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 8: This is it. This is power on levels that have

217
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 8: never been seen before. And I'm so sick of hearing

218
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 8: it being discussed in comparison to the Gilded Age, when

219
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 8: all you could be was like the meanest guy on

220
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 8: the block, and you could have the biggest tower and

221
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 8: stand around in it and be mean to your you know,

222
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 8: immediate surroundings. But you couldn't like try and overthrow the

223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 8: government of England with tweets. Yeah, I mean, you just

224
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 8: couldn't think to be you could yell at stable boys.

225
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 8: That was what the old.

226
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Their stable boys. I mean, sure, I'm not.

227
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 8: I'm not listen. I'm not saying that was okay.

228
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Biden coming through at the end of his thing

229
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: and being like, guys, some of these tech oligarchs are

230
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: bad news.

231
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 8: I think I'm glad you brought that up. I can't

232
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 8: even I can't even process that. How can anyone process that?

233
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: After like a record? And I'm like, I think there

234
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: was one person with one hundred and fifty million dollars

235
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: before he started, and now there's like eight of He even.

236
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 8: Raised the corporate tax right when he was in office.

237
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: No, he did nothing.

238
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 7: That's the way.

239
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 8: That's what I mean. Yeah, I mean, how's anyone And

240
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 8: then we're not talking about the fires? You know, I'm

241
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 8: sure you guys have talked about it to death and

242
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 8: you're also living through it, and I'm I'm so sorry,

243
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 8: I'm so sorry. It's so horrible. Yeah, and on top

244
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 8: of all that shit, to have a guy saying stuff

245
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 8: like that, who's the president of the United States, I mean,

246
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 8: how much can people take? That's what I mean. It's

247
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 8: like these, these these giant megaphones need to be turned

248
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 8: off or we're never gonna be okay again. We're not

249
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 8: gonna ever be okay again unless we turn these fucking

250
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 8: things off. I remember there was a Hunter Thompson's fear

251
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 8: loading in Las Vegas. He had a funny passage. I

252
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 8: never forgot where he was saying. There was a machine

253
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 8: on the Vegas Strip where for five dollars they could

254
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 8: they would project you like one hundred feet tall on

255
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 8: the side of a building and you could yell anything

256
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 8: you wanted at Las Vegas, and he was saying this.

257
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: He was saying, how insane that was, how sold he

258
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: was of like making drugs and then seeing like some random.

259
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 8: Let random people scream at a whole city.

260
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I mean, we have we have

261
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's to take innovation of the past fifty years.

262
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's just that's what's over overrated is talking about

263
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 8: things in content in ways that are not only I

264
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 8: don't know if they're obfuscating, if are these people are

265
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 8: too in the system to even understand. Oh, it is

266
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 8: either just as wealthy as the as the Gilded Age.

267
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 8: I mean they can have as many carriages as they want.

268
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 8: I mean they can have you know, like, that's not

269
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 8: what's happening anyway. That's that's all just occurred to me.

270
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: It's just I just found out about this today.

271
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just it's not comparable to any guilded Age.

272
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 7: It's not.

273
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: And they're richer than anybody in the guilded Age guild

274
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: a lot.

275
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 8: Yeah exactly. And I they keep saying that, so I'm like, oh,

276
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 8: and they're like, yeah, that's not that much different than

277
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 8: you know, we'll be Yeah, that's and that's the message

278
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 8: that you're supposed to calm the fuck down.

279
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, ultimately, what is something? Do you have anything

280
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: he thinks overrated or just too underrated?

281
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 4: Well, this is cool because this is movie related. So

282
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: I'm glad that click Caitlyn's here because I want to

283
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 4: know what she thinks about this. I think very recently

284
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: I've decided Harmony Karen is overrated.

285
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: And here's why.

286
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: He's been like paling around Miami with Jared and Ivan Ivanka,

287
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 4: like him and his wife, they're going to like Zionist

288
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 4: fundraising stuff all this, like like hanging out with basically

289
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: the worst people in Miami. And he started a skateboard

290
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: company called called edge Lord, which he is an edge

291
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: lord and unfortunately they have like interesting skateboarders on there.

292
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: But it made me rethink all of his movies where

293
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 4: I was like, if you've seen Gumo he wrote kids,

294
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: He's like this kind of like he's this art house

295
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: tour guy.

296
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: Bring Breakers was that the name of that movie? Yeah?

297
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 6: Breakers?

298
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 7: He directed.

299
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 6: The other one of his I've seen is beach By

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 6: and between spring Breakers and beach Bomb two of my

301
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 6: least favorite movies of all time. So I'm fully in

302
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 6: agreement with you mort about him being overrated. I think

303
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 6: he sucks.

304
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, And there's like, have you did you see Gummo?

305
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 6: No, I didn't see that one.

306
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 9: Yes, you see his early stuff he has he actually

307
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 9: there are aspects of his filmmaking which are kind of masterful,

308
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 9: like in some ways he's able to make some stuff

309
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 9: really beautiful. But all that stuff is like this very shocky,

310
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 9: like it'll be like this really strange looking sort of

311
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 9: boy in a bathtub, like eating spaghetti. It's this very

312
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 9: But now I look at it and I'm like, wait,

313
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 9: do you just hate poor people? Like is this like

314
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 9: all of this just supposed to be like this is

315
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 9: this spectacle with no heart or capacity for caring? Like

316
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 9: it's a very I don't know.

317
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: I already was like really on the fence, and now

318
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, he might be just like have been

319
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: evil the whole time. But he is really funny on Letterman.

320
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 4: That's the only thing about him.

321
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: I need to go back and look at the Letterman

322
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: interviews because otherwise not not a fan based on what

323
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: I've heard so far and the kids. The script I

324
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: feel like is not the thing. It's not is not

325
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: What's Cool about Kids.

326
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 6: I barely remember that movie. So I'm seeing that Harmony

327
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 6: Krinn has a child named Lefty Bell.

328
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Lefty Bell.

329
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 4: That's probably like a reference to like a silent film

330
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: star or something, I imagine, just the way that he rolls,

331
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: I don't.

332
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: Recalling his skateboard company, Edge Lord is pretty on the nose.

333
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: But I guess nothing he does is not on the nose, right,

334
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty.

335
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a whole weird thing. I don't like it, Yeah, man,

336
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: I don't.

337
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't like this. I don't like when right wing

338
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: stuff happens in skateboarding. It makes me feel very icky.

339
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Feels Yeah, what is the what's the scene? And we

340
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: got more our man on the street for skateboarding here,

341
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: our skater on the skateboard beat. What's the vibe?

342
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 8: Like?

343
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen at least Nate Silver is telling

344
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: me there's been a vibe shift everywhere across a social

345
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: media and a lot of different subcultures towards the right.

346
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: Is that happening in skateboarding? It feels like kind of

347
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: anathema for sure.

348
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 4: What's up, Jack, I'm here talking to a lot of

349
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: teens out here on the skatebeat and these teenage boys

350
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 4: and gals there. Look, skateboarding can be. It's it's like

351
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: a guitar or something. It could be used in any

352
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 4: capacity you want it to be. The really cool thing

353
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: is that there's been a huge growth on the opposite

354
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: end of this, which is like there's like a lot

355
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 4: of LGBTQ plus skateboard, a lot of queer skateboarders, at

356
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 4: least two queer owned skateboard companies, and a lot more

357
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 4: like women and non binary people in skateboarding who are

358
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 4: making it way better. Like it's they're doing this really

359
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: interesting A bunch of them like rip, like they're really

360
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 4: really good, and then some of them are doing this

361
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 4: thing where they're like we don't care if we're good,

362
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: and that's really important because skateboarding, you know, it's been

363
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: fourteen year old boys for most of its most of

364
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 4: its entirety, right, so there's this there's this kind of

365
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 4: a little bit toxic rule, you know, thing that happens there.

366
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 4: So aspects of skateboarding actually had actually shifted way towards

367
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 4: the left, which.

368
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Is so necessary.

369
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: And then there's these small sections of people who like

370
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: say that who's the.

371
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: There's this dude. Damn it, I can't remember.

372
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 4: Well, it's actually good that I can't remember his name.

373
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 4: This like right wing podcaster guy who is like a

374
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: terrible pop punk band and also claims to be a skateboarder.

375
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: He does skateboard, but luckily he has awful style. I'm

376
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 4: forgetting his name, but.

377
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 8: He was fully was.

378
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 4: He's the guy who was being funded by Russia. Like

379
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 4: there was an ext tho day where all he's one

380
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: of the main dudes, and you're like, yeah, of course

381
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 4: he was.

382
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, it really is just fucking Russian money

383
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: and billionaire libertarians all the way down. That's the all

384
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: that's all you need to do is be like, yeah,

385
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm right wing and there's suddenly a money

386
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: truck arrives at your house.

387
00:18:59,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

388
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: Actually, this idea that like cool, I'm hit, brother, it's

389
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: such lack of I'm not a cop dude, you.

390
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: Know, yeah exactly, And it's like working in some places,

391
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: a lot of these fucking influencers are just like, yeah,

392
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: it's actually, what's cool is thinking this Republican president is

393
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: cool and edgy. Yeah shit, all right, let's uh, let's

394
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll come back, we'll talk about

395
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: ultra processed foods.

396
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 7: We'll be right back, and we're back.

397
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: And let's let's talk about the two worst guys, two

398
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: of the worst guys that Trump nominated for to control

399
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: major parts of the world. First, Pete Hagsath his confirmation

400
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: hearing to be what is it, secretary of Defense. That's

401
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: a big one, right, that's a pretty's up there. Yeah,

402
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: so he was nominated to be Secretary of Defense. A

403
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: bunch of stories immediately flooded out from people who had

404
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: worked with him, both sides of the you know, former

405
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: military people, existing, current military people, not like left wing

406
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: journalists doing like hit pieces, just anybody who's encountered him

407
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: being like his mom, Yeah, his mom for instance, talking

408
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: about you know, instances of sexual assault, racism, open alcoholism

409
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: on par with like a cartoon alcoholic, like like having

410
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: to be carried out of places constantly. Like the only

411
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: thing that's lacking is like he never, as far as

412
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: I've been able to find, and I've looked into it,

413
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: he never hiccupped a bubble that then carried him away

414
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: into the sky. But everything else that like a cartoon

415
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: drunkard does.

416
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: The thing he drinks out of just has xes on

417
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: a big jug, a big jug of xes.

418
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: Fortunately he did promise to stop drinking if he gets

419
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: the job. I love that that That's always worked anytime

420
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: somebody's had a substance for sure.

421
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: You know, this thing has a that has a complete

422
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: hold over me and my life that I also love

423
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: to do. Apparently we'll just stop doing it if I

424
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: get this really important job. Cold turkey.

425
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, his so at first it seemed like he

426
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: might go the way of Matt Gates, who are about

427
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: to get to who you know, had to be withdrawn

428
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: as a nominee for Attorney General. And but then they

429
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: were like, not too, that would make President Trump look bad,

430
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: So we can't. We can't let two of them go down.

431
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: So suddenly they're going to make him go through with

432
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: it and take all the heat.

433
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, and he is going to get like That's

434
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: something that I feel like has been missing from a

435
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: lot of the coverage of this. At least I'll just

436
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: give the full context. I think I think there's been

437
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: like there hasn't been somebody who got to this stage

438
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: where you're doing like Senate confirmation hearings and was not

439
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: confirmed since I think George W. Bush's administration, and that's

440
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of cabinet members who are who

441
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: go through this process and they're batting a thousand since

442
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: George W. Bush's administration. Like, once you get to this point,

443
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: it's really hard to stop the peak train, which is

444
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, like the way it's being reported is

445
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: like this guy's like a an underdog, and it's like, no,

446
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: it would be shocking. I mean, it would obviously be

447
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: deserved if he got not able to do this job,

448
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: because it seems like everybody who like took a objective

449
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: look at him, like including Republicans, were like, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, god, god,

450
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: what is that? Senator?

451
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: He should be on trial, like not a confirmation hearing,

452
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 2: he should be sentenced.

453
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: I guess the one thing that you know you can

454
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: take some sawce in is the like, yes, it's very

455
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: uncommon for people to not be confirmed by the Senate.

456
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 7: Uh.

457
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: Granted he is an uncommonly bad nominee, like just truly everybody,

458
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: you know, the people who are currently backing him like

459
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: he is the best pick possible. When they were told

460
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: about it were like who the fuck is that? WHOA

461
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: what the guy from Fox News who says stuff that

462
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: is like controversial for Fox News is going to lead

463
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: the fucking US military. But yeah, so he's an unprecedentedly

464
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: bad pick. The Republicans are unprecedentedly on board with the

465
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Trump cult. So I'm personally not on the edge of

466
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: my seat over here. But I don't know what how

467
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: are you guys feeling?

468
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like it's good to remember that

469
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: Trump had a ninety two percent turnover rate for his

470
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 3: first term, so he saith isn't going to last even

471
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 3: if he gets confirmed. Crazy, you know, Like I just

472
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: I just I think he's going to be one of

473
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: the first to go. I think you're right, it probably

474
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: will get confirmed, because I feel like they are they

475
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: are kind of in that panic mode of like, oh,

476
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: we can't lose another we can't let another ship go

477
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: down here, right. But I think that it's so Pete's

478
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: energy is so antithetical to like top brass military to

479
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: me that I don't think I think those people are

480
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: going to have a hard time taking him seriously.

481
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: Right, You want to know he wants to be trusted

482
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: with military secrets. Blowoutcohol just a cartoon drunk like yeah, yeah, it.

483
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: Has to be carried from place to place. I mean yeah,

484
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: I will say it does. Reading history books, a lot

485
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: of the military brass themselves like also, yeah, good stiff,

486
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: a stiff drink in the self medicated.

487
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 3: I think a lot from some trauma let's say, right.

488
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: Right, yea Grant was had a dry Yeah yeah it was.

489
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: There was like, yeah, like this guy, he doesn't try

490
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: to stop drinking.

491
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just like us.

492
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say, you know, Trump's first administration, he

493
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: didn't think he was gonna win, didn't really want the job,

494
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: it seemed like at first, and so he wasn't like

495
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: making picks that would be a fit for him, like

496
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: as we talked about, like his first administration was a

497
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: group of people around him basically trying to insulate the

498
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: world from how bad a president he was. And now

499
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: he's nominating these people who are seen as bad picks

500
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: because they will do the sorts of shit that Trump

501
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: will ask them to do. So I don't know that

502
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: it will be like that quick a turnover. I like

503
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: it will I hope. So. I hope it's as like

504
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be incompetent, But is it going to

505
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: be incompetent just from a like what it does to

506
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: the world, or will it be incompetent in the sense

507
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: that like nobody can agree with one another and everybody

508
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: keeps getting fired and quitting like the first time around,

509
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: which would be by far the preferred outcome. But it

510
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: does just seem like they're at least a little bit

511
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: more like that because his choices are coming from loyalty,

512
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: like that being the only value that he's doing. I

513
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: do wonder if like he's going to be like as

514
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: these people are ending the world, like he's he's gonna

515
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: be happy as a clan because you know, they're doing

516
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: what he told him to do.

517
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 3: Oh man, that yeah, that reminds me that like heg

518
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: Seth is connected to this like cultist preacher out here

519
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: my way. He's actually in Idaho, Doug Wilson, Oh who, Yeah,

520
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: who's in Moscow, Idaho and is just like a really

521
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: horrible person but like has a lot of his theology

522
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: is pretty fucked up, Like he's very he's like very

523
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: like misogynistic as like a point of like as like

524
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 3: a theology is like a theological point but also like

525
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 3: the Bible is pro slavery, so I am pro slavery.

526
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: Like that's how fucked up this dude is. So he

527
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 3: like says these things out loud, and like this is

528
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: the dude that like heg Seth considers to be like

529
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 3: a spiritual mentor or whatever. So like I'm not not

530
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm not scared.

531
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: I'm very scared.

532
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like the influences in a heg Seth's life

533
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 3: that he's chosen are malicious people who want to harm others. Yeah,

534
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: you know, like like even setting like the Trump loyalty

535
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: piece aside, Like he has these really sort of horrific

536
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 3: influences that he's chosen, clearly chosen to have in his life.

537
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: And so you know, I think that like he could

538
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: potentially do a lot of damage. But he also he's

539
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: just not He's he doesn't have any of the like

540
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: law and order energy that I feel like the military

541
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: sort of expects, right, which is seems weird. He just

542
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like a fit in the culture to me.

543
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: I agree. I think maybe that's the reason. I mean,

544
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: none of this will work out while he will be confirmed,

545
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: but to try to be optimistic while there's still a

546
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: brief window to be optimistic that he won't. I think

547
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: that so it's no one being confirmed or sorry, everybody

548
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: being confirmed since George W.

549
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: Bush.

550
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: I think also my hope is that, yes, he's the

551
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: least qualified, event he's the worst candidate, but also it's

552
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: very in your face how bad he is and how

553
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: off I mean, even his energy, even if we're like

554
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: reaching for that too, where he's on TV constantly, so

555
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: it's not like you have to read an article to

556
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: be like, hey, is this guy a piece of shit?

557
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: Like you can just watch him pretty quickly. Yeah, And

558
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: so I wonder if maybe that because of how readily

559
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: available his whole image is. And I mean still no,

560
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: because he's been nominated, everybody knows that he's been nominated,

561
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: so he'll still probably be confirmed. But I do wonder

562
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: if now because that stuff is so much more obvious

563
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: that I guess, like, what's the difference between him and

564
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: Gates is that people actually the Gates was a pedophile,

565
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: you know, like, is that where we're drawing the line

566
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: at this point? Maybe that was it?

567
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I think it was the like the Gates report,

568
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: which I feel like people have really kind of metabolized

569
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: and moved forward with pretty quickly was like, yeah, he

570
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: was paying for sex with children so for like a

571
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: number of years and doing that and doing drug Yeah,

572
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean I wonder how much of it is also

573
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: like drugs instead of alcohol, you know, where like alcohol,

574
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: that's what that's what we expect legal like Nixon was

575
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: hammered for most of his presidency. Yeah, but to your point,

576
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: like his kind of weird youth and like right wing

577
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: influencer groper ship, like it feels like a really bad

578
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: version of like First Kid is First Kid the one

579
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: where like a kid is president or is that just

580
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: like the son of I forget which kid, but yeah, yeah,

581
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: where it's just like what if this guy no no rule,

582
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: says a Fox News host, can't be president, you know,

583
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: can't be head of the military. Anyways, I need to

584
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: go back. And if I seem distracted, it's because I'm

585
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: trying to read the plot synopsis of First Kid, and

586
00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: it is always a little check. Yeah, that's right, all right,

587
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: just really quickly over the weekend, I think some people

588
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: were still waiting for this this outcome to be better

589
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: news because Trump had his sentencing hearing for you know,

590
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: he's a convicted felon. Now because he broke election laws

591
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: in order to and and regular laws in order to

592
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: be elected president first time around, a like Watergate level

593
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: scandal that people just now taken stride. So the judge,

594
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: Judge Juan Merchant's sentence came down and it was a

595
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: quote unconditional discharge, which legal experts have pointed out is

596
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: quote virtually nothing in terms of punishment end quote, which

597
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: were the terms that I was interested in. The punishment

598
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: terms was kind of what I was looking for in

599
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: those terms. Could we get one? It turns out no,

600
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: you cannot have a punishment because he is about to

601
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: be president and the idea like he might be president

602
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: from fucking jail, dude, Yeah, was never going to happen

603
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: because of the way power and money work in this country.

604
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: One of those phones like him, you know, doing press

605
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: conferences through the little phone in the glass is just

606
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: not yeah, feasible.

607
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, because he's too cheap and those things

608
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: cost a shitload of money thanks to private equity. That's

609
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: actually true. The private equity industry took over those phone

610
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 1: systems and like charge you like five dollars a minute

611
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: to talk to your loved ones.

612
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: From prison, or you could fight a fire. It's up

613
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: to you. You want to talk through a phone or

614
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: you can fight one of moose standerous fires.

615
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Meanwhile, Jack Smith handed in his report and then

616
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: promptly resigned from the Department of Justice. So you know

617
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: is that true?

618
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 7: Yes?

619
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, this is so bad.

620
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. That's why it reminded me of Well,

621
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: Trump was like, I'll fire him within fifteen seconds of

622
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: taking office, so he knew he was gonna get fired.

623
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: It's still like, I don't know, take the firing man.

624
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: Like nobody was surprised by this, considering the Trump said

625
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: he would fire him within seconds of taking office. But

626
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: remember like the first administration when the first big national

627
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: scandal was that he was willing to fire Komy because

628
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: Kme was investigating him. Like it was like at first

629
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: it was like he fired Komy and Komy's investigating him,

630
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: that sure looks suspicious. And then he like went on

631
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: an interview with Lester Holt and was like, yeah, I

632
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: fired him because he was investigating me. I didn't like

633
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: that too much, right, and everybody I still remember that

634
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: being like the most like everybody was so outright age

635
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: and like holy shit, like this is we finally got

636
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: him right, like this is he just admitted to doing

637
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: the most illegal thing, and then it was just like

638
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: further like just made pointless by like a thousand more

639
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: awful things he did right after that.

640
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: He's tall and annoying. What am I supposed to do?

641
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: He's tall and he keeps fucking looking into my things?

642
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 2: But would you want someone like that working for you?

643
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: But now people like preemptively fire themselves because there's no

644
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: chance of there being any sort of outrage on behalf

645
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: of like him firing, so it would just be like

646
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:35,959
Speaker 1: a win for him.

647
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: I would still want I would still want to be like, yeah,

648
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 3: Trump fired.

649
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: Me, Like yeah, I don't know.

650
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 7: I feel like a.

651
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 3: Person with integrity would have a great reason to be like, yeah,

652
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 3: I fucking got fired by Trump. Give me a book deal,

653
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: Like I feel like you could get something out of it,

654
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: you know. And he was just like, oh, okay, I'm.

655
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: Scared by Hey, look over there.

656
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: You can't fire me.

657
00:34:59,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 7: I quit.

658
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. It's just a petty thing. As for the report,

659
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: which is supposedly pretty damning, for anybody who doesn't isn't

660
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: already accustomed to just like imagining the worst possible thing,

661
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: and then that thing being true and then nobody giving

662
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: a shit. Merrick Garland has been trying to release part

663
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: of it publicly, but it's being held up by Trump's

664
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: co defendants, who are saying, like, you know, they still

665
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: might go to trial and they can't like release this

666
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: report because it would be prejudicial against a jury that

667
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: might eventually decide their fate. So interesting, So people are

668
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: just saying Garland should drop the cases altogether since Trump's

669
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: about to take office and that will free him to

670
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: release the report anyways, or you know, who knows what

671
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: Trump will do with it. But bad weekend for anything

672
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: approaching justice in general, especially with regards to this administration.

673
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: But there is that cool Mark Zuckerberg Joe Rogan interview,

674
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: so well you can can all look at that.

675
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: And you can, and if you listen to it multiple times,

676
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 2: you hear new things each time. I found when you

677
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: listen to it, so uh, yeah, it's not a one

678
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: and done.

679
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah it's colum.

680
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of time. I got to

681
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: listen to it on like two point five speeds, so

682
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: I miss a lot actually so that I understand back

683
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 3: and yeah.

684
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Torri, we just met each other. You seem like

685
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: someone who would love to listen to it.

686
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take notes.

687
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's gonna be great.

688
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: It's easier for notes.

689
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah mm hmmmm. He was talking about like the feminization

690
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: of the workforce or something. I don't know he really was. Yeah, Zuckerberg,

691
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: that's like what his whole thing. He's just like fully

692
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: like been replaced by a maga chug like it's wild.

693
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 7: I wonder.

694
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw people speculating as to whether he's getting divorced.

695
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: I am curious how that's all going over in his household.

696
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: Brutal anyways, brutal for him. I worry about their relationship.

697
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: I know, brutal for the sanctity of marriage. That's what

698
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: I was talking about.

699
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that, that theory is like, Oh, his wife,

700
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: a billionaire, is going to be so mad at him.

701
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: Probably hasn't seen him in two years.

702
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've stopped counting on billionaires to have normal human emotions.

703
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's take a quick break because I want

704
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: to tell you guys about Lake Superior State University's words

705
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: Banished words list, and also tell you that Lake Superior

706
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: State University is a real university, which I didn't know.

00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,560

712
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: he wouldn't get more sick, but there was still hopes

713
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: that he might direct a project remotely that you know,

714
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he was working on at the end,

715
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: but very very sad news.

716
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:19,919

Speaker 1: and they're like, this guy must be fucked up, this

778
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: guy must be like a real dark person. And I

779
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: just want to read this one interview from a reporter

780
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: who visited the set of Blue Velvet, which was like

781
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: his his movie that like was really kind of the

782
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: mainstreaming of the David Lynch kind of esthetic and super

783
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: dark and fucked up, and like when it came out,

784
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like reacted as if someone

785
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: had committed a crime like.

786
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 8: I saw when I was eighteen. I had no idea

787
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 8: what the hell it was.

788
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still hard to know exactly what it is.

789
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: But it's a you know, a work of art, that's

790
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: what that is one thing we can say, and not

791
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: just because he smoked so many cigarettes making it. It's

792
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: just unmistakably a vision of the country and the of

793
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: one person. So somebody shows up. It's a movie with

794
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: like fucking like just some brutal, horrible things happening. Ears

795
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: and dirt. You know, it opens with somebody's like seventy

796
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: ear and the dirt, and anyways, someone comes out. They're like,

797
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: all right, this guy's gonna be real fucked up, and

798
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: found him riding around set on bicycles with streamers fluttering

799
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: from the handlebars, his pockets full of peanut eminems like

800
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: that detailcle I, pockets full of peanut eminems like bordering

801
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: on like what are you doing that those that are

802
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: going to melt and be your hands must be like

803
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: covered in like different colors candy coating all the time

804
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: unless he just has the least sweaty hands of all

805
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: the time.

806
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 8: Also, he's going to make He's gonna make himself sick.

807
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: Am I right? He the reporter said, David is a

808
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: genuinely happy person, and this is one of the remarkable

809
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: things about him. I've never met anyone as serene as

810
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: he is. He's also a lifelong devotee to transcendental meditation. Right, So,

811
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, Caitlin, you're a film person.

812
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 7: What are you?

813
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: Lynch?

814
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 6: I have a master.

815
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: You are a film master. I'm sorry, and the rest

816
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: of us are film people. You are a film master.

817
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 6: I'm kind of a master.

818
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: What are you a fan of Lynch?

819
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 6: I would say, I'm not a fan. In fact, I

820
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 6: tweeted something something to this effect a few years ago

821
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 6: and absolutely got destroyed on the Internet. But I don't

822
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 6: regret it because I stand by what I said. But

823
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 6: I mean, I I like twin peaks. I haven't seen

824
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 6: the more recent season that, like, you know, when they

825
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 6: kind of revitalized it. But I liked the original series

826
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 6: and I enjoyed Elephant Man because he directed that too.

827
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: Those is one like kind of mainstream.

828
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 6: So I like his like more normy stuff, and that

829
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 6: just speaks to my taste, I guess, because I don't

830
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 6: know what the fuck Muholland Drive is about. I've seen

831
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 6: it many times and I just get frustrated because I'm like,

832
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 6: I'm not smart enough for this. But then I'm also like, well,

833
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 6: maybe the filmmaker it's not smart to So I'm dunking

834
00:44:53,520 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 6: on David Lynch even post more, but either's stuff of

835
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 6: his I liked. I'm sure I didn't finish his Dune,

836
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 6: but it seemed wacky and fun, so I might go

837
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 6: back and watch it.

838
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 8: I DK yeah, I think also, I would imagine as

839
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 8: a woman would probably be sick of hearing about David

840
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 8: Lynch from dudes.

841
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 4: Well that's what my tweet was about.

842
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm really I really resent. It was

843
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 6: something like I resent like all the I don't know

844
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 6: if I like made a gender specific and said like

845
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 6: all the men or just like all the people who

846
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 6: spent years trying to convince me that David Lynch was

847
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 6: any good. So it was like a really bitchy tweet,

848
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 6: I'll admit it, but listen.

849
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'll tell you this guy happens the men too, Like,

850
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 8: you know, like a certain type of man will confront

851
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 8: you and be like have you seen the latest Lynch?

852
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, and you're like I had.

853
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 6: I shall not name names, but there was a man

854
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 6: comedian who I know, who like got furious with me

855
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 6: to the fact that to the point where he was

856
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 6: like yelling at me because I was like, yeah, I'm

857
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 6: not that big of a David Lynch fan, and he

858
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 6: got so like viscerally angry about that. Yeah, And so

859
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 6: I'm like, Okay, calm down, everybody. But I'm sure he

860
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 6: was a very nice person. And I love the image

861
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 6: of him riding around on a bicycle with streamers from

862
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 6: the handlebars and eminem's in his pockets. That's beautiful.

863
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

864
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 8: And his documentary is about the documentary about him where

865
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 8: they're showing him like booking, Like there's one where he's

866
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 8: making phone calls and he gets like some celebrity to

867
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 8: be in his movie and he's like.

868
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, like he's like a star stuck too.

869
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, like there's a lot of charming things about him.

870
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 8: But yeah, I definitely have been cornered at parties and

871
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 8: like grilled about David Lynch by like dudes who are

872
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 8: trying to prove they were smart and it's going yeah, yeah.

873
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 8: I told one guy I watched the new I remember

874
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 8: I was at this party. It was kind of like

875
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 8: a fancier party than I would usually be invited to

876
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 8: in Los Angeles, and and there was a guy who's

877
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 8: a director, like that's what people are saying he was,

878
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 8: but I don't know what he directed, but he, you know,

879
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 8: he was certainly wasn't like a director I'd ever heard of.

880
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 8: But he was like had a bunch of tattoos, you know,

881
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,439
Speaker 8: And he was just like, have you seen the new

882
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 8: Twin Peaks? And it had just come out and I

883
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 8: was like, yes, I have, and he was like, you

884
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 8: saw it. He's like the whole thing. I was like,

885
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 8: he's like the whole thing because he had seen the

886
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 8: whole thing, you know. But he was like he thought

887
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 8: he'd gotten the jump on I guess humanity.

888
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes.

889
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 8: It, and he just like didn't want to talk to

890
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 8: me anymore, because I think he knew I was lying.

891
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 8: I did eventually watch that, but I did had not then,

892
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 8: and I just did not want to get into what

893
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 8: was going to happen. If I said no, I hadn't

894
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 8: seen it, that's amazing. I just couldn't even imagine what

895
00:47:59,239 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 8: would happened next.
