Speaker 1: are on the trending episode.
Speaker 2: I actually while I got invited to us later and
Speaker 2: then disinvited because they remembered I had a baby, and
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, might just kind of like be too
Speaker 2: hectic because these people also had a baby.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh shit, yeah, yeah, it's all good.

Speaker 1: our median geniside. Remember it to day we go. That's
Speaker 1: a big thing's right in southern California. My children were
Speaker 1: off of school for that. Oh for a horse, I
Speaker 1: believe it. Yeah, they say it in our meeting. But yeah.
Speaker 2: Also but April twenty fifth, National Hug of Plumber Day,
Speaker 2: also National DNA Day, also National Teach Children to Save Day.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, I was not taught that. I was
Speaker 1: told to. Just if you got it, spend it.
Speaker 2: National Zucchini Bread Day, National Take our Daughters and Sons
Speaker 2: to Work Day. That's the picture is two kids dressed
Speaker 2: in like work attire, and it just seems so dystopian.
Speaker 1: Is this the official one? The official take our kids
Speaker 1: to it, because I feel like that either have daughters
Speaker 1: or sons. If they do not fall into those two categories,
Speaker 1: neatly do not have them, we are not interested. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is, this is how this works. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think I think it is. It's also
Speaker 1: in Canada, so this might be the official one. Did
Speaker 1: you ever do?
Speaker 2: I never had parents who had a job that could
Speaker 2: take me somewhere. Like my dad was like making art
Speaker 2: or some shit or going to like do photos, and
Speaker 2: my mom was like, I work from my house, So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to I went to my dad's job
Speaker 1: all the time. It must be nice because yeah, like
Speaker 1: after school, I think it was more for childcare, like
Speaker 1: but like, oh yeah, practice happening. I remember going to
Speaker 1: grad school with my running around empty stadiums, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. You ran around empty stadiums. I ran
Speaker 1: around the basement of cal.
Speaker 2: Arts Art School where people were like screaming about communism
Speaker 2: to a a three and four year old.
Speaker 1: There's something very comforting to me at this stage of
Speaker 1: my life about being on a college campus, just because
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of my early years just like
Speaker 1: bumming around an lighty college campus.
Speaker 2: The smell of like a rec center, you know, like
Speaker 2: the gym at school. You just kind of like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I get it. A lot of empty space and dust,
Speaker 2: like empty space and dust the Jack Brian empty space
Speaker 2: and dust.
Speaker 1: That's all. We are. Also on National Hug a Plumber Day.
Speaker 1: Don't hug a plumber from behind. That's that's what they want,
Speaker 1: and we will see what they do with their pants

Speaker 1: they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa way anyways, No, probably
Speaker 1: I don't. My name is Jack O'Brien aka three points wasted.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, three points wasted, three points wasted. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: this kickers, Eh, they're all wasted. That is courtesy of
Speaker 1: steaming choke on the discord. In reference to the theory
Speaker 1: we formulated the other day that football kicker is the
Speaker 1: high job of professional sports. Like, I had a lot
Speaker 1: of friends who chose their jobs and their twenties based
Speaker 1: only on whether they could do that job while high.
Speaker 1: Has those friends been professional athletes? I feel like that's
Speaker 1: the one. Yeah, it's the just be not.
Speaker 2: Good enough to make it to MLS soccer in the
Speaker 2: US you might have an NFL career as a kid.

Speaker 4: a young kid, like, yeah, you gotta prioritize your own
Speaker 4: sanity a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's for sure. Yeah. Oh well, enjoy a lamington on.
Speaker 4: This nice nice local reference.
Speaker 1: What is a lambing?
Speaker 2: The liquor took a sponge cake with chocolate and like coconut.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got it. And it comes in two flavors.
Speaker 4: You've got chocolate or you got rispberry.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wonderful. That's uh all the Australian touch points.
Speaker 2: I know is from briefly dating in Australian for about
Speaker 2: three weeks, and I was like, tell me everything so
Speaker 2: I can attend.
Speaker 1: I know what it's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a couple. There's a couple of things like
Speaker 4: Lambington's and I guess Russell Crowe that New Zealand does
Speaker 4: an Australians fight over who owns that thing?
Speaker 1: Oh really? Yeah? Yeah I didn't know. Oh I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, okay, okay you can. You should give
Speaker 1: them his music career and you take his movie career.
Speaker 4: Who gets like, has he been charged with anything? Fights
Speaker 4: a bit?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he like threw that phone at a hotel
Speaker 1: employee one time. Oh yeah, let's see.
Speaker 2: He was two thousand and five charged with felony assault
Speaker 2: and fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon after he
Speaker 2: threw a telephone.
Speaker 1: The weapon in question. The weapon in question, the telephone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those people might not remember, but a lot of our
Speaker 1: listeners might not remember a time when telephones were thinking.
Speaker 1: But those things were like heavier than they seemingly needed
Speaker 1: to be right, you know, Like there was some especially
Speaker 1: like rotary ones. I feel like they just like made
Speaker 1: with iron. Yeah, there was like fifteen pounds of lead
Speaker 1: in there for some reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't case you needed to hit your assistant
Speaker 4: with something and you.
Speaker 1: Have you yeah work. Yeah. The executives at GE were like,
Speaker 1: and somebody's gonna need to hit their assistant with these
Speaker 1: every once in a while, so we should give it
Speaker 1: some heft. Yes, yes, good call Jack, amazing a g
Speaker 1: wasn't the guy named Jack something Jack? Yes? I forget,
Speaker 1: well it wasn't a reference to you. Yeah Walsh Welsh,
Speaker 1: Jack Welch, bad, bad person. It turns out, who's like
Speaker 1: the guy Baldwin was basing his donnicky off of. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just a truly amazed. We should just do a dive
Speaker 1: on him. But what did just like a just all
Speaker 1: the all the capitalism stuff, like treated employees badly, rewrote history,
Speaker 1: so he was like a maverick.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like weird things with like drunk driving and
Speaker 1: just I don't know, I just remember, yeah, welleran hero
Speaker 1: slash shouldn't this is what's wrong with us type of guy.
Speaker 1: I remember there being a Jack Welsh book like on
Speaker 1: my dad's bookshelf that like Jack's Way or like some
Speaker 1: ship like that you know, he was real into leadership literature,
Speaker 1: and then like recently heard some some podcasts that told
Speaker 1: the true history of him, and it wasn't or maybe
Speaker 1: it was like it was like somebody who I wouldn't
Speaker 1: expect to be anti Jack Welsh. I think it was
Speaker 1: actually a Malcolm Gladwell article and it was like, this
Speaker 1: guy's a fucking dick, was really really not cool. For
Speaker 1: as much as people lionize him.
Speaker 4: We see part of that wave of like American captives
Speaker 4: of industry at a particular time who just went, we
Speaker 4: are going to fire everyone we can.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is a brilliant insight and treat everyone.
Speaker 4: Like shit, Yeah, get a say sweet, that's really well
Speaker 4: looked after, and just try and basically dedicate everything to
Speaker 4: jumping the stock price up day.
Speaker 1: After day, Yeah, creating shareholder value. That is the heroic
Speaker 1: way of describing exactly.
Speaker 2: Quick greatest hits. He fought a twenty year battle with
Speaker 2: the Environmental Protection Agency in the state of New York
Speaker 2: over polychlorinated biphenals forever forever chemicals and said that there's
Speaker 2: no cause for concern over health consequences.
Speaker 1: Let's see.
Speaker 2: He called the Obama administration's prioritization of addressing climate change
Speaker 2: radical behavior. He was also like against anything that was
Speaker 2: like curbing CEO pay. He's like, it's outrageous if you
Speaker 2: think like workers aren't making enough, Like yeah.
Speaker 1: Typical nuts.
Speaker 4: Those those chemicals, I'm pretty sure those were the stuff
Speaker 4: that was in here spray right, yeah, which is like
Speaker 4: the one time that planet Earth has actually come together
Speaker 4: and listened to the scientists and went, oh shit, we
Speaker 4: got to do something about this, and we did it
Speaker 4: and it fixed the problem, which was the literally the
Speaker 4: only time we've pulled it off.
Speaker 1: And Jack was like, no way, brother, No, you guys
Speaker 1: are freaking out, Yeah, freaking out. Yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: need like a hole. There's like having that physical hole
Speaker 1: in the ozone layer I think was really helpful for
Speaker 1: us to be like, well, that can't be good, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess looking at just gigantic swaths of
Speaker 1: land burning up in flames, isn't it. Yeah, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: probably the it's probably the homeless people did that. When
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, it's probably actually just the hypercapitalisms run
Speaker 1: away from us and we can't pump the brakes like
Speaker 1: we used to in the eighties. That notoriously socialist time
Speaker 1: of the eighties. I remember I was fucking scared of
Speaker 1: like breaking styrofoam cups in that time, Like for I
Speaker 1: feel like there was like some this might have been
Speaker 1: true or a livestale, an old wives tale. It's sort
Speaker 1: of like like when you break certain kinds of styrofoam,
Speaker 1: it's like releasing shit into the air. And I was like,
Speaker 1: don't break the stuff.
Speaker 2: Like I remember being so stressed out as a kid,
Speaker 2: like eating like a cup of noodles and then like
Speaker 2: like carefully put in the garbage cancel wouldn't get crushed.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's just some bullshit that I.
Speaker 4: Which is so funny because we're pouring like boiling hot.
Speaker 1: Water into the into it, like we're probably just drinking it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what it is. From this Gladeal article,
Speaker 1: there's this part at the end where he like refuses
Speaker 1: to put on his seat belt and then like on
Speaker 1: the left side of the road and like all the
Speaker 1: way through a golf club that he's a member of,
Speaker 1: just to like prove that everybody will like get out
Speaker 1: of his way and that he he just seems like,
Speaker 1: oh here it is true.
Speaker 2: So they talk about he was having lunch with golfer
Speaker 2: Phil Mickelson, and the CEO of Barkley's came over to
Speaker 2: pay homage.
Speaker 1: Then the time of c suite.
Speaker 2: Then Welsh offered to drive Cohen back to his house
Speaker 2: a few miles away. They get into his jeep Cherokee,
Speaker 2: and Welsh refused to put his on his seatbelt, so
Speaker 2: the warning belt chimed the whole route right back off
Speaker 2: he drove. When he got to the left turnout of
Speaker 2: the Nantucket Golf Club onto Milestone Road, he did something odd.
Speaker 1: Instead of keeping to the right side of Milestone Road.
Speaker 2: As other American drivers do, he decided to drive in
Speaker 2: the middle of the road with the Cherokee straddling the
Speaker 2: yellow line.
Speaker 1: Needless to say, the drivers coming toward us on Milestone
Speaker 1: Road were freaking out. One after another. They all put
Speaker 1: off to the right onto the grassy edge of the street,
Speaker 1: giving Jack full clearance to continue driving down the middle
Speaker 1: of the road. He didn't seem to notice.
Speaker 4: So that's nothing about people going, oh it's Jack, Well,
Speaker 4: should we be going to get out of his way.
Speaker 4: It's like some fucking lunatic is trying to kill himself
Speaker 4: on this right down the middle of the lane.
Speaker 1: Oh man, just yeah, And like that's the impression you
Speaker 1: get just throughout is just he's just he refuses to
Speaker 1: admit that he is not the most important person in
Speaker 1: the world in any interaction and will like lie and
Speaker 1: fire and dominate people. It's really.
Speaker 4: Profile how easy it is when you've got that attitude
Speaker 4: that you do rise to the top.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. It's like you have to have something truly
Speaker 1: deeply wrong with you to be a billionaire. Yeah, yeah, level,
Speaker 1: it's great. We're going to talk about that later on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's living your life like you're driving down the
Speaker 4: middle of the middle of the road. Everyone's just like,
Speaker 4: oh god, I don't want to deal with that.
Speaker 1: People like that. Yeah, people were like, the are they
Speaker 1: going to do? Yeah, it's that. I think we all
Speaker 1: know somebody with that attitude, but some didn't have wealthy
Speaker 1: enough parents that they just sort of skip steps into
Speaker 1: like the elite. And then in the US we write
Speaker 1: books about those people called like Jack's Way. Yeah, Jack
Speaker 1: driving down the middle of the fucking street, just not
Speaker 1: caring if anybody is made uncomfortable, if their safety is
Speaker 1: put at risk. Well, Tim, we're gonna get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
Speaker 1: gonna tell our listeners that a few of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about later. So Tesla is not doing great,
Speaker 1: which sucks because like Elon is, you know, he's like Tony,
Speaker 1: He's our Tony Star, He's like our Iron Man, and like,
Speaker 1: it just hurts my feelings when he doesn't know he's
Speaker 1: obviously like a piece of shit and whoa, his shittiness
Speaker 1: is like coming back to bite him in very ways.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: resentee is a new capitalism feared. Just drop like this
Speaker 1: is an article written by bosses and C suite people
Speaker 1: being like like they they had quiet quitting and now
Speaker 1: this is the new panic of like how employees are
Speaker 1: mistreating them at work resent teaism. Guys, that is, sorry
Speaker 1: to say, a absolute whiff on the title of that
Speaker 1: new fear. All of that plenty more. But first him,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guest, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history?
Speaker 4: Just the term Sam Neil, who I don't know if
Speaker 4: you remember the actor fantastic actor he's still around that
Speaker 4: I remember, like he died.
Speaker 1: He is not very much with us.
Speaker 4: He's at least, of.
Speaker 2: Course, anyone who is in Jurassic Park will always be
Speaker 2: invincible in my mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wait, well why Sam Neil, I'm just going to tell you.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to talk about this.
Speaker 2: Oh well, don't you don't jeopardize any thing. You and
Speaker 2: Sam Nail are engaged to be married or Jack?
Speaker 4: Yes, him, way to steal my thunder, dude and kneel
Speaker 4: his thunder. Give a girl a chance. So I did
Speaker 4: this podcast for our vision of MPR's Radio New Zealand,
Speaker 4: and me and my mate Carlo Richie did a podcast
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago called Did Titanic Sync, which
Speaker 4: is exploring episode by episode this conspiracy theory that the
Speaker 4: Titanic was switched with its sister ship, the Olympic, which
Speaker 4: got damaged by a naval vessel, and so they gave
Speaker 4: it a paint job, called it the Titanic, set it
Speaker 4: out to sink it intentionally for insurance money, but then
Speaker 4: it accidentally had an iceberg at that point and killed everyone.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 4: And so my friend.
Speaker 1: Carlo, he was not even part of it.
Speaker 4: Correct. Yeah, So they had this whole plan to basically
Speaker 4: sink it slowly because it was the Titanic. I'm using
Speaker 4: scare quotes. That so called Titanic was set out and
Speaker 4: it was on fire when it left port, Like there
Speaker 4: was a big raging fire in the in the coal bunker,
Speaker 4: and so Carlo reckoned. What was supposed to happen is
Speaker 4: they let it on fire, and it was supposed to
Speaker 4: sink slowly, and there were a bunch of ships in
Speaker 4: the surrounding area that would have been called in from
Speaker 4: the distress signal and they would have had time to
Speaker 4: get everyone safely off board, and then the ship itself
Speaker 4: just would have sunk and they would have collected the
Speaker 4: insurance money. But then they had an iceberg and the
Speaker 4: planing off bunker, and it happened to quirk, and because
Speaker 4: of the fire that had like jeopardized the structural integrity
Speaker 4: of the ship, it sunk way quicker than like it
Speaker 4: ever was supposed to win the worst case scenario. And
Speaker 4: that's why everyone does so anyway we did. It's kind
Speaker 4: of like it's a it's a pretty crazy conspiracy theory,
Speaker 4: but Carlo is obsessed with the Titanic. Here's a symboled
Speaker 4: like all of the historic evidence to support this theory
Speaker 4: and step me through it episode episode So we just
Speaker 4: got green let to do it. A second season of
Speaker 4: this podcast. I don't think I'm supposed to like announce that,
Speaker 4: but there's an exclusive for you guys.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, right there, baby, Wow, you keep the conspiracies out, baby,
Speaker 2: it's a new conspiracy theory.
Speaker 4: Well, there's a bit where this. I won't spoil what
Speaker 4: they kind of like premius of season two is, but
Speaker 4: it's pretty juicy. And I was trying to get Sam
Speaker 4: Neil to do some voicing on the podcast itself because
Speaker 4: it involves the second season will involve this this book,
Speaker 4: and we want someone really with a fantastic voice to
Speaker 4: read some passages from the book. So I reached out
Speaker 4: to his agent and unfortunately Sam Neil will not be
Speaker 4: joining us. Close to zero money, damn, what's this problem?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing, though I did not know about this
Speaker 1: conspiracy there.
Speaker 4: It's wild. He owns a vineyard now, so he's he's happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that is the That is like the symbol.
Speaker 1: That's what when people are like, yeah, I own a
Speaker 1: vaneyard now, it's like, oh my bad, Oh forward myself out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're doing a little vineyard of death. Is that what
Speaker 1: you're doing? Yeah? Yeah, I'm going to expire amongst the
Speaker 1: vines here. I'm gonna expire with an orange in my mouth.
Speaker 4: I will not have a bad word said against Sam
Speaker 4: Neil though. He's just such a thoroughly fantastic He does
Speaker 4: a lot of like instagramming and stuff, and it's just
Speaker 4: it's him blessing out.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a certain lip of like, older wealthy person.
Speaker 4: Who I do, who's the who's the British rich? Is
Speaker 4: it Richard E. Grant? Have you seen his instagram?
Speaker 1: No? It is nuts.
Speaker 4: It's just him running around like a little girl being
Speaker 4: excited about the fact that it's raining outside. Just a
Speaker 4: bridle joy on his face about smelling a flower or
Speaker 4: like a fish bangette.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, we only aspire to have social media feeds like that,
Speaker 2: don't we.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pritchard Grant that everybody, of course, remembers.
Speaker 4: From the Spice Skiers movie.
Speaker 1: Hudson Hawk, the Spice Girls movie. Yeah, I guess Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones, but more importantly, yes, Hudson Hawk and the
Speaker 1: Spice Girls movie Spice World. Let's be you know, sorry,
Speaker 1: let's respect the materials please, it's just been a while
Speaker 1: since I've spiced.
Speaker 2: Up my aliens pop out and they're all horny. I
Speaker 2: wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 1: Oh and he's the dad from Saltburn. He's he's got
Speaker 1: a real nose for some interesting work.
Speaker 4: Is distinguished. We call it having a distinguished look.
Speaker 1: That's right. All right, Let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back and do some overrated underrated. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back and Tim, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 4: I'm going to say Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys are familiar. It sounds like,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, CE Network. Yeah yeah, it's celebrating its thirtiouth
Speaker 4: birthday at the moment, and this is the show that
Speaker 4: like launched our adult swim Like this is the thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I've loved the Space Ghost Like I stumbled on
Speaker 4: it when I was probably about fourteen years old, coming
Speaker 4: home from a party kind of drunk and just turned
Speaker 4: on Cartoon Network at like one in the morning.
Speaker 2: Damn you we told you were fourteen coming home from
Speaker 2: a party drunk and deciding that sounds like some twenty
Speaker 2: eight year old behavior.
Speaker 4: We build them different In New Zealand, we got it,
Speaker 4: we started. He went, I'm not proud of that, but
Speaker 4: I'm also not going to lie to you guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get it. Yeah, just got in the
Speaker 1: coal mine. Yeah yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm I'm punching through a pair of Lucky
Speaker 4: Strike and I flick on the TV and there's this
Speaker 4: crazy cartoon and it's like, if you haven't seen it before,
Speaker 4: it's a chat show hosted by this nineteen sixties cartoon
Speaker 4: hero which is really quite badly drawn. But they punch
Speaker 4: in the guest and the guest is filmed on camera,
Speaker 4: so the guest isn't animated, and they had like really
Speaker 4: famous guests. So they're doing a big replay live stream
Speaker 4: at the moment, which is probably still going on YouTube
Speaker 4: to sort of celebrate the thirtieth year. Like Conan's on it,
Speaker 4: Tom York's in an episode.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, York, Wow.
Speaker 4: This is like real heavy hitters, and the show is
Speaker 4: it's just like built for stoners, Like the writing is crazy,
Speaker 4: and it was the first kind of thing I saw
Speaker 4: as a teenager where I was like, oh man, this
Speaker 4: is this is my ship, Like I didn't know that
Speaker 4: I was supposed to smoke weed until I saw Space Ghost,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It sort of like went
Speaker 4: that way around, like, oh, this comedy is so great
Speaker 4: that I should start smoking marijuana, which I didn't until
Speaker 4: much later. I will say, don't touch that stuff if
Speaker 4: you're if you're under like twenty, I gotta say that, right,
Speaker 4: thank you drink when you're fourteen, but not yes, of course.
Speaker 1: And then also I feel like I feel like the
Speaker 1: first appearance of like Aquatine Hunger Force was also on
Speaker 1: Space Ghost.
Speaker 2: That's right. There was a lot of ship. Yeah, a
Speaker 2: lot of ship comes from the tree of Space Ghost.
Speaker 2: Yeah for me. And then I like then I was
Speaker 2: like I was all in on Aquatine too, and I
Speaker 2: was like, this shit is fucking yeah. I just love
Speaker 2: that Absurd Mastership.
Speaker 4: Was a totally different character and that in that vision
Speaker 4: in the Christmas episode is like some kind of whiny
Speaker 4: white dude. And then and I'm glad that they kind
Speaker 4: of like changed the dynamic. But yeah, what's the same.
Speaker 4: Oh wait is that right? No? Sorry, fry Lock Flock's different.
Speaker 4: Fry Lock's different.
Speaker 1: And I had legs. I feel like visually, like it's
Speaker 1: a supreme Court. I'm actually an original list, so I
Speaker 1: think that no character should ever change. I actually prefer
Speaker 1: the first episode of the Simpsons. I think the animation
Speaker 1: was better back then. I prefer the Tracy Omens Simpsons.
Speaker 1: They looked like their faces were melting. Yeah, and Homer
Speaker 1: was like the home on, come on, boy, we're hungry, Like,
Speaker 1: what the heck? I remember?
Speaker 2: I remember it was so alarmed when I saw the
Speaker 2: Tracy omen version of like those characters, and like, what
Speaker 2: the fuck was going on?
Speaker 4: Here is the Simpsons back. I've been hearing online that
Speaker 4: like the Simpsons is back?
Speaker 1: Is you guys watching again? Yeah? I haven't been watching.
Speaker 2: No, I I've I'm I'm I'm also an originalist. I'm
Speaker 2: an original, a first eight seasonist. Yeah, but I know,
Speaker 2: but I have heard that repeatedly. Actually, people like, no,
Speaker 2: like it's it's funny.
Speaker 1: That's good. I mean probably in a way that's like
Speaker 1: not disappointing.
Speaker 2: But I think I've moved on from like my deep
Speaker 2: love of the Simpsons in that sense.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I got to come back to the Springfield Baby.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe I did. I had a segment and it
Speaker 4: did a comedy show in the New Zealand Comedy Festival
Speaker 4: like four years ago, which actually was just me ripping
Speaker 4: off Space Ghost. I did like a chat show, like
Speaker 4: a comedy chat show thing it was. It was called
Speaker 4: Space Couch and Honor of Space Ghost.
Speaker 1: Interesting, uh huh. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I wrote this whole thing where so the couch that
Speaker 4: the guest would sit on was brought into space by
Speaker 4: the Russians and then got blasted by cosmic radiation and
Speaker 4: became sentient. And I got Paul F. Tompkins to voice
Speaker 4: the couch. So during the show we got to like talk,
Speaker 4: you know, back and forward to the couch and then
Speaker 4: we're getting biased on. And had a musician friend of
Speaker 4: mine Disaster Radio aka Eyeliner if you're into vapor wave,
Speaker 4: he's like the oj He he was my you know,
Speaker 4: my band leader on it. And we had a segment
Speaker 4: called let the Simpsons Die. So he and I made
Speaker 4: up this like video package that was just a bunch
Speaker 4: of famous comedians in New Zealand going, hey, I grew
Speaker 4: up with the Simpsons. I love the Simpsons. Simpsons means
Speaker 4: everything to me. You've got to pull the plug on
Speaker 4: the fucking show man for the good of for the
Speaker 4: good of the show. You gotta say die, it's gone, baby,
Speaker 4: it's gone.
Speaker 1: Really seriously addressing the camera.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, like said piano music, my chords.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. And you would have pulled the plug too
Speaker 1: soon because apparently it's back.
Speaker 4: Apparently it's back, baby.
Speaker 1: Maybe what is something you think is overrad it.
Speaker 4: It's almost it's almost overdone to say this, but teaseless man,
Speaker 4: and I've been delighted to see the stock price kind
Speaker 4: of tumbled the last the last little while. I don't
Speaker 4: know I'm following this, but just if you kind of
Speaker 4: drilled man, I'm so American listeners, he said, Tesla's I
Speaker 4: just want to clarify that.
Speaker 1: But some people were like, yes, we're talking Tesling, you're
Speaker 1: going sorry.
Speaker 4: If this two things I hate it is vowel sounds
Speaker 4: and the Tesla company.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, there it's it's that's also just a just
Speaker 1: a disaster in motion.
Speaker 4: Although but they pulled it off, which is so crazy
Speaker 4: to me because there's there's a couple of there's like
Speaker 4: a couple of books out there. I kind of got
Speaker 4: real deep. There's a podcast called Truanon who did a
Speaker 4: three part series on the history of of Tesla as
Speaker 4: a company, and like they really frauded their way to
Speaker 4: the to getting on the NaNs deck and getting to
Speaker 4: the position that they are now, which is too big
Speaker 4: to fail, which is so freaky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the plan. Yeah, there's like a way to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a bad it's a bad fucking company, dude.
Speaker 4: And those cars seem to be just quietly like killing
Speaker 4: quite a few people. And every time it sort of
Speaker 4: comes up, the company like suites the people and to
Speaker 4: not say anything.
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
Speaker 4: I don't want to get you guys trouble here.
Speaker 2: No, no, I mean you've heard our ads. We read
Speaker 2: a lot of ads for Tesla on.
Speaker 1: The sh I'm actually recording this from a Tesla on
Speaker 1: Autopilot as per our contract, and Autopilot obviously got.
Speaker 4: To focus on the show man, you got to do it.
Speaker 4: But just what a what a ship show? There's cyber
Speaker 4: truck man. I can't believe that actually came out and
Speaker 4: it's anyone board.
Speaker 1: But it's so bad that like it was breaking in
Speaker 1: a car, like guys like I took I got it
Speaker 1: washed and it stopped working.
Speaker 2: They're like, and then the service center is like, did
Speaker 2: you put it in car wash mode.
Speaker 1: They're like, what, it's a fucking car. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: now we got to reboot it.
Speaker 2: You can't drive it for five hours while we You're like,
Speaker 2: is this a fucking car?
Speaker 1: What is this car wash mode? Dude?
Speaker 2: It's absurd. Every time I read about I mean, we'll
Speaker 2: get into it. It was the story, but every time it's
Speaker 2: just fucking it's a common but fuck it, let's just
Speaker 2: get into it. I mean, that's our first story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a what a professional. He even made his
Speaker 1: overrated our first story of the day. Multiple dick kicks
Speaker 1: for Elon Musk over the last few weeks. For for once,
Speaker 1: we have something in common with Elon Musk. Miles and
Speaker 1: I got spectacularly multiple dick kicked in our NBA fandom
Speaker 1: in the past week, and uh, Elon taking salties correct
Speaker 1: multi dick dkays multi multi da mdk's murder death kills
Speaker 1: as they call them in the reality of what is
Speaker 1: it demolition Man? But anyway, yeah, in the last few weeks,
Speaker 1: we saw videos of cyber trucks where people's fucking like,
Speaker 1: this is so stupid. They want you to shift gears
Speaker 1: like on the touch screen, so like in case that
Speaker 1: ship ships. So they've put a so like a mounted,
Speaker 1: a windshield mounted gear selector panel for you to like
Speaker 1: what they switch gears via touch. Yes, that such a
Speaker 1: fucking night. Other way, such a disaster.
Speaker 2: The other way is this fucking windshield it's a windshield
Speaker 2: fucking mounted uh.
Speaker 1: Of the dancers? Yeah yeah, yeah, I guess that dashboard
Speaker 1: mounted but yea yeah exactly like with a suction company.
Speaker 1: What I can't even like picture what you're describing here.
Speaker 1: Let me show you a picture like it.
Speaker 4: It'll be you know how you want to say through
Speaker 4: your windshield. You know it's better than that just looking
Speaker 4: a shift not seeing.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that people want to see through their windshields.
Speaker 2: So that's presupposed to see this thing right here you
Speaker 2: can touch park and someone had their windshield service and
Speaker 2: like they tried to touch it and just flopped right off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like well it has been did you not put
Speaker 1: it in touch it mode?
Speaker 2: But they're also saying it's like fucking up the sun
Speaker 2: visor and like former engineers are like, what a fuck up?
Speaker 2: This is like the most high use part of a
Speaker 2: fucking car, and like fucking pet's heads are falling off
Speaker 2: it's just a fucking disaster.
Speaker 1: So then the wild the wildest one was the accelerator dude.
Speaker 1: So yes, oh that this was a bit like somebody did.
Speaker 1: Somebody released a video where they were like, so I
Speaker 1: found this on my floor and I didn't know what
Speaker 1: it was. If it turned out it was the accelerator pedal,
Speaker 1: it slid off, I put it back on, then it
Speaker 1: slid up and got jammed between the panels and the
Speaker 1: foot well. So it caused like it's the nightmare thing,
Speaker 1: the like out of control acceleration. It's final destination. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's final destination, like they are they built a final
Speaker 1: destination machine.
Speaker 4: And thank god the guy who happened to that it
Speaker 4: was him because he did he did that video and
Speaker 4: he's like, hey, I just wanted to sort of highlight
Speaker 4: this potential design. Yeah, and was super chill, and he
Speaker 4: was like, look, I gotta say I was able to
Speaker 4: keep my cold. The cow was suddenly speeding out of control,
Speaker 4: so I started applying the break. But if like if
Speaker 4: I was in a car and I didn't know what
Speaker 4: was going on and it just started accelerating and I
Speaker 4: was not doing I would freak the fuck out. I
Speaker 4: probably would kill multiple people by accident.
Speaker 1: Well, and you would because the fucking thing seven thousand
Speaker 1: fucking pounds. You know what I mean, You've created a
Speaker 1: like aff like an unstoppable Yeah, seven thousand pound fucking
Speaker 1: behemoth were the acceler anyway, So that led to a
Speaker 1: second recall for the phone. Shit, it really weighs seven
Speaker 1: thousand pounds.
Speaker 2: I thought, No, that's not a joke, dude, It weighs
Speaker 2: seven thousand fucking like it. Nothing makes fucking sense. It
Speaker 2: can't go through a fucking car wash allegedly. Uh, and
Speaker 2: the shit's falling off allegedly, but the pedals definitely fucked
Speaker 2: up because y'all did a recall because it might cause
Speaker 2: unintentional acceleration. What a euphemistic description of you will die
Speaker 2: in a seven thousand pound as the Internet calls it,
Speaker 2: the in cell camino, which I think is a fantastic joke.
Speaker 1: Name for that, but then cell caminoid that. Aside from that,
Speaker 1: there are reports about how musks, just shittheaded antics are
Speaker 1: pissing off the libs. That's right, Elon may get a
Speaker 1: kick out of it and sip in the liberal tears.
Speaker 1: He should remind himself that the Libs are the ones
Speaker 1: that actually made Tesla popular in the first place, and
Speaker 1: sales have dropped sixty percent among that group according to surveys.
Speaker 2: They said they found just lower consumer interest in Tesla
Speaker 2: in general, but they said Democrats really start to drop
Speaker 2: off significantly in October of last year. They made up
Speaker 2: forty percent of Tesla sales for the twenty twenty two
Speaker 2: model year and thirty nine percent twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: When the twenty twenty four model year Tesla's went on sale,
Speaker 1: the number of Democrats in the mix drop to fifteen percent.
Speaker 1: So you know, I actually did that on purpose, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because fuck them, you know, right.
Speaker 2: But the other thing is too, despite him being like
Speaker 2: the right wing darling of the Internet, those people are
Speaker 2: too hopped up on Fox News that they really think
Speaker 2: driving an EV will like make them gay and allow
Speaker 2: Joe Biden to take your truck nuts away, and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm good on that. So they aren't exactly making up
Speaker 2: for the lost sales from the liberals, which has now
Speaker 2: led to around fourteen thousand people.
Speaker 1: Are gonna get let go from Tesla.
Speaker 2: They're like slashing prices like they're like, it's like fucking
Speaker 2: a fire sale and my current owners, like, I just
Speaker 2: oh shit.
Speaker 1: I just spilled water all over my fucking desk.
Speaker 2: Shit, see this, what happens my karma for talking about
Speaker 2: fucking Elon musk.
Speaker 1: So your desk is more waterproof than a cyber truck. Dude,
Speaker 1: I dumped so much. Oh shit, give me one second
Speaker 1: due this.
Speaker 4: Do we have computers down?
Speaker 1: What the fuck? Oh my god?
Speaker 2: What People who are familiar with my other podcasts know
Speaker 2: I do this very sometimes.
Speaker 4: That's what is happening over there. It's this seems more
Speaker 4: dramatic than you spilled a drink bottle. This is like
Speaker 4: someone's shilling. I've absolutely fucked the bed mate. It's pretty good.
Speaker 4: I can tell you've been talking to a lot of.
Speaker 1: Whatever. Dude, it's all, it's all fucked, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: we're back. We're back. Fuck it. You know, I'll deal
Speaker 1: with it. We'll deal with it later. I think it's
Speaker 1: mostly I'll do it.
Speaker 4: No, it's getting all over the How much water came
Speaker 4: out of this damn bottle?
Speaker 1: Man? Look at it's it's like a near forty ounce cup.
Speaker 4: Oh no, that sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I bought it to drink alcohol chicily at a hotel
Speaker 2: because I didn't want to pay like the pool bar prices.
Speaker 2: I was like, let's just fill this fucking nondescript steamless
Speaker 2: steel bug up with vodka. And yeah, and now I
Speaker 2: think the carm has bit me in the ass.
Speaker 4: All right, you're an old Kama for wanting to drink VODKEA.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I reads this every time. You think it's cool, and
Speaker 4: then you go back and you're like, and now this
Speaker 4: thing is also fun.
Speaker 1: All over my car, look at Shaggy Dog comedy Skeedule's
Speaker 1: gonna start spraying up on your face, sh everywhere al right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, God, I really should invest in one of those
Speaker 2: sippy cups that's there.
Speaker 4: I am a baby. You're better than that.
Speaker 1: Miles.
Speaker 4: Don't let one spell get you down, like fucking multiple
Speaker 4: maybe you can't maybe.
Speaker 2: Got it all over? My rolling papers are ruined? Where
Speaker 2: was I?
Speaker 1: I'll bring you back.
Speaker 4: I will bring you back in because I know what
Speaker 4: you're talking about. You're so right about the Teasler firesales stuff.
Speaker 4: If you go on Twitter, now you get all of
Speaker 4: his tweets like forced down your throat just by going
Speaker 4: on to the website, like it's a damn pop up
Speaker 4: from hell, and it's just every second one is talking
Speaker 4: about the woke mind virus and then it'll be followed
Speaker 4: up with, oh, by the way, eight thousand dollars off
Speaker 4: the modelist right now, Yeah, that's the ship, this car
Speaker 4: running costs that exists on it. Like you know, when
Speaker 4: Elon is tweeting the sales pitch for Tisla's the company
Speaker 4: has a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in desperation mode fully fully but.
Speaker 2: Anyway, like now what we're seeing is they just had
Speaker 2: a fucking earnings call and they revealed analysts are like,
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a bad year. We're predicting
Speaker 2: around forty percent drop off in profits. They even shocked
Speaker 2: the analysts and like, yeah, about a fifty five percent
Speaker 2: drop off in profits. And it was like spitting their
Speaker 2: Nike will out of their mouths, being like what did
Speaker 2: he just say? And but the thing is worry not.
Speaker 2: The stock price had a ten percent bounce because it
Speaker 2: was announced that they are working on new models and
Speaker 2: AI robotics ready. So someone on the call asked a
Speaker 2: very direct question to Elon Musk on that earnings call,
Speaker 2: and they said, you know, we know cha sales are
Speaker 2: slumping in China. What are your thoughts on the EV
Speaker 2: market in China because that was a huge part of
Speaker 2: the profitability of the company.
Speaker 1: And Elon just pivoted and said, quote, really, we should
Speaker 1: be thought of as an AI robotics company. If you
Speaker 1: value Tesla as just an auto company, you just have
Speaker 1: to fundamentally that's just the wrong framework. If you ask
Speaker 1: the wrong question, then the right answer is impossible. If
Speaker 1: somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I
Speaker 1: think they should not be an investor in the company.
Speaker 2: So he just said, Wow, you hear that, you fucking haters,
Speaker 2: Tesla is even a car company anymore, you fucking idiot.
Speaker 1: We're doing he butt. He responded to this very straightforward
Speaker 1: question about like the fundamentals of the business by being like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want you to invest in
Speaker 1: the company. You don't get to have Tesla stock.
Speaker 2: Sounds like Harlan Williams in something about Mary when he's
Speaker 2: talking about his like seven.
Speaker 1: Minute abs thing. Yeah, and then unless someone comes up
Speaker 1: with seven minute, that's like no, it's fucking the magic
Speaker 1: numbers eight. Like you're like, whoa, right, dude, I'm just
Speaker 1: asking you a fucking question, oh Man, to your earlier point,
Speaker 1: Tim like that this ship works. I mean, yeah, there
Speaker 1: was a ten percent rebound. He knows like this is
Speaker 1: his skill, right, He is good at talking the sort
Speaker 1: of ship that the markets respond to. Like that's all
Speaker 1: that that is his skill. He didn't invent Tesla, he
Speaker 1: didn't found Tesla. He like came along and recognized that
Speaker 1: it was a good sales pitch to Wall Street. And
Speaker 1: that is his genius is jumping in there. He's not.
Speaker 1: He's not Tony Stark.
Speaker 4: And the early days of the company they missed and
Speaker 4: I mean they still continue to do this a bit,
Speaker 4: but definitely back in the early days when he first
Speaker 4: got involved, he would just announce that they were going
Speaker 4: to ship the craziest number of cars. They would never
Speaker 4: get anywhere even fucking close to delivering. Year after year exact,
Speaker 4: they would announce models that would never come out. They
Speaker 4: would announce technology. I mean, these things were supposed to
Speaker 4: be autonomous self driving in like twenty nineteen, and there's
Speaker 4: video compilations that people have put out where it's just
Speaker 4: like every nine months and months.
Speaker 2: Away to gold months away from going coast to coast
Speaker 2: an auto pilot.
Speaker 1: He would say all the time.
Speaker 4: The true, like sort of untold secret of Tesler is
Speaker 4: that what happened in the early days of the company
Speaker 4: is the Obama administration issued all of these tax credits
Speaker 4: to car companies that said that they were going to
Speaker 4: build EV fleets, and you got a particular number of
Speaker 4: tax credits based on how many, how what percentage of
Speaker 4: your total fleet was going to be EV. And so
Speaker 4: Tesler was like, it's one hundred percent of ours, and
Speaker 4: we're going to make a bazillion cars, And so.
Speaker 1: He could like sell those credits to the car companies.
Speaker 4: Right, And so they didn't even build the cars they
Speaker 4: were going to they said that they were going to
Speaker 4: build that they got the tax credits for. So they'd
Speaker 4: never delivered on that promise, but it didn't matter. They
Speaker 4: got awarded the tax credits anyway. Now those tax credits
Speaker 4: are got like they're not being issued anymore. So they're
Speaker 4: worth an insane amount of money. And they made all
Speaker 4: of their money by selling those credits to Toyota and
Speaker 4: to Mitsubishi and all these other car companies. So every
Speaker 4: time that they had to do like an earnings report
Speaker 4: and you could see all the sales started, they weren't
Speaker 4: selling enough cars, but then they would just sell a
Speaker 4: fuck ton of these tax credits to be able to
Speaker 4: boost the share price quarter after quarter, like the whole
Speaker 4: thing was a god deck again, but he managed to
Speaker 4: pull it off for so long that he got listed
Speaker 4: in the NASDAK And now the thing is like too
Speaker 4: big to fall over.
Speaker 1: Fully And that's yea. His skills business is that he
Speaker 1: is able to blow whimsical smoke up our collective assholes.
Speaker 2: And yeah, people were like, yeah, I think so because
Speaker 2: like what he said. He said, Tesla is going to
Speaker 2: solve a tonic. Like again, to your point, how long
Speaker 2: has this Tesl is gonna solve autonomy? Uh, don't get
Speaker 2: a fuck to me. Then get the fuck out of here,
Speaker 2: like I don't even want you, and like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: start doing that cult shit. They're like, you're not a
Speaker 2: true believer. Think there's the fucking door. Guess what, asshole,
Speaker 2: And they're.
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, I'll buy more.
Speaker 2: Actually I'm gonna buy more because of what you said.
Speaker 2: And to your point, they've been on the brink of
Speaker 2: fully autonomous cars with nothing to show for. What about
Speaker 2: the fucking hyper loop?
Speaker 1: When the fuck? What about that asshole. How many fucking
Speaker 1: fake ass things has he sold people? And when you
Speaker 1: talk about the latest thing that came out about autopilot
Speaker 1: was a fucking guy who killed a motorcyclist because he
Speaker 1: let Elon Jesus take the wheel while he was browsing
Speaker 1: on his fucking phone and he killed a fucking motorcycle guy,
Speaker 1: Like in Washington. This happened like last week.
Speaker 2: Those are the stories you get about autopilot, not about
Speaker 2: how fucking amazingly autonomous the whole shit is.
Speaker 4: Did you see that YouTube video where they were testing
Speaker 4: it's like child detection.
Speaker 1: Can system.
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's scary. I can't remember what channel did it.
Speaker 4: But they were like, look, we're getting a lot of people.
Speaker 4: We'll talk about Tesla's but actually the guidance systems. I
Speaker 4: don't think it's as bad as everyone's saying. I mean
Speaker 4: they've made like cardboard cutouts of kids and that would
Speaker 4: like it would drive up to the kid and slow
Speaker 4: down and then stop, and they were like, see this
Speaker 4: thing works, and then no foot on the accelarate would
Speaker 4: just start going again. The car would just plow through
Speaker 4: the kids. So it would slow down and stop next
Speaker 4: to them and then just go again.
Speaker 1: You got the pat on the back for passing the
Speaker 1: stop test and then keeps going for exactly Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. All right, well, let's let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back to talk about resenteeism
Speaker 1: of friends that it feels like Elon Musk might have
Speaker 1: come up with himself. And we're back, and employers, we
Speaker 1: had some bad news. It's not just Tesla's an report.
Speaker 1: You also have some gen Z workers who they're not
Speaker 1: even just quiet quitting anyway, dude, now they're resenteism. No,
Speaker 1: what's that? Yeah? What the fuck? This means the newest
Speaker 1: capitalist fear that just dropped that all your fellow C
Speaker 1: suite employees are gonna be talking about. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a mixture of absenteeism and resentment. It seems like
Speaker 1: it's the same thing as quiet quitting. They just got
Speaker 1: like angrier about it, and so now they're like, really,
Speaker 1: they're like resentful little assholes. It's actually omicron version now
Speaker 1: of the same thing, which is just worker alienation, I believe,
Speaker 1: as Marx called it. But anyway, like, yes, I love
Speaker 1: when these stories they inevitably pop up in these business
Speaker 1: centric outlets like CNBC or The Wall Street Journal or Forbes,
Speaker 1: and it's always like, okay, the entire US media, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 5: Right, potentially right, And there was like we gotta be
Speaker 5: on high alert for the new way the workers are
Speaker 5: fucking around and they always treated like this mist like
Speaker 5: the fucking havana syndrome that managers need to be on
Speaker 5: high alert for.
Speaker 2: It's like, there's the fucking thing taking over just this description, right.
Speaker 2: It's a growing trend where employees continue working in roles
Speaker 2: they find dissatisfying because they either can't find a better
Speaker 2: suited job or think they won't be able to. It's
Speaker 2: an evolved version of quiet quitting, Like in evolved, there's
Speaker 2: an evolution of this.
Speaker 4: In the mass work guys. This is the centuries it
Speaker 4: maybe thousands of years. Not only are they disengaged, but
Speaker 4: they are resentful about it. Quiet quitting was about working
Speaker 4: on autopilot to reduce stress. Resenteeism is about feeling trapped
Speaker 4: in your role. And since these quote unquote journalists are
Speaker 4: incapable of looking at things through the prism of a
Speaker 4: capitalist critique, they observe things like worker alienation playing out
Speaker 4: in their faces and are like what's.
Speaker 1: Your sup phenomenon? Why is in uphourting the younger people?
Speaker 1: What the book is going on?
Speaker 4: We literally made it illegal to unionize, but for some reason,
Speaker 4: the workers also aren't happy.
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? They said, the fucking problem.
Speaker 1: A remarkable forty percent of remarkable forty seven percent of
Speaker 1: gen Z respondents say they're coasting by at work, with
Speaker 1: only forty percent they're saying they are thriving. The younger
Speaker 1: generation is also most likely to say they're just working
Speaker 1: for a paycheck forty two percent, while.
Speaker 2: Older generations are more likely to say they are quote
Speaker 2: fired up about their jobs.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Oh yeah, I'm fired up because my boss
Speaker 1: just said I'm a rock star. Oh or thriving at work.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I don't want to hang out with you,
Speaker 4: and I'm pulling an Elil Musk on you, like just
Speaker 4: you can leave the room. You are not an investor
Speaker 4: in tamank.
Speaker 1: It's a crazy thing.
Speaker 4: If you've got a normal job, if you've got a
Speaker 4: normal last nine till five, you're not supposed to love it.
Speaker 4: It is this crazy thing of like how we talk
Speaker 4: about jobs and how it's written about that You're you're
Speaker 4: supposed to be there because you love the role. And
Speaker 4: I think the only reason that sort of like language
Speaker 4: that idea exists is because bosses, the sort of you know,
Speaker 4: the managerial class, successfully managed to trick us into not
Speaker 4: talking about pay so that we could compare rates with
Speaker 4: each other to kind of gain a little bit of
Speaker 4: bargaining power against against the capitalists basically. And so now
Speaker 4: we've got this situation where we've got this whole fake
Speaker 4: language about how everyone's at work because they're fucking psyched
Speaker 4: to be there. Dude, Everyone's working for money, man. That's
Speaker 4: the reason you go to work is to pay your
Speaker 4: mortgage is to pay you're in and so you can
Speaker 4: eat and have a roof over your head. Can we
Speaker 4: stop fucking pretending it's about something else, right, It's the toil.
Speaker 1: It's the fucking toil. And it's like, oh no, these
Speaker 1: workers are feeling alienated from their labor, like they feel
Speaker 1: like they have no decision making and how their labor
Speaker 1: is exploited or they don't get a return on the
Speaker 1: value they create through their exploited labor, Like, I like,
Speaker 1: what's the fucking point. Yeah, A lot of people are
Speaker 1: arriving at this realization I think, I think really the
Speaker 1: biggest thing missing from this analysis is how the promise
Speaker 1: of social mobility through quote unquote work has paid off
Speaker 1: less and less and less as the years go on.
Speaker 1: Of course, boomers and Gen xers are fucking fired up
Speaker 1: because and more engaged with their work because they were
Speaker 1: told going to college means you can buy a house
Speaker 1: and be middle class, and that was mostly true for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then millennials less so, and Gen z even
Speaker 2: fucking less. They can already see in high school, fucking
Speaker 2: mid junior high that, like you can already see kids
Speaker 2: being like, what's this fucking world that you live in?
Speaker 2: You just toil, not to make ends meet and pretend
Speaker 2: like it's not a fucking nightmare that you have no
Speaker 2: social protection, Like no social were weal from like none
Speaker 2: of this? And the media is is I guess bringing
Speaker 2: back to Simpsons doing the principal Skinner meme where they're like,
Speaker 2: am I out of touch?
Speaker 1: No, it's the children who are wrong. It's like yeah,
Speaker 1: uh huh, yeah, yeah, hm, that's that's what it is.
Speaker 1: It's fucking resenteesm like anything, but actually getting to the
Speaker 1: fucking crux of what people are experiencing. It's just wild
Speaker 1: that we find all these new ways to Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be like Forbes poetry competitions, like you know,
Speaker 4: big poetry slams before we actually get to.
Speaker 1: A capitalist critique being right, Yeah, there is something wrong
Speaker 1: with this system. No, it's called toil burnout. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: what's that? I think people just aren't recognizing enough that
Speaker 1: here at Tesla we're family, and your very family family
Speaker 1: because you don't have time to spend at home, so
Speaker 1: we kind of just default become your family because we're
Speaker 1: the only human beings you ever see.
Speaker 4: And if you even needed evidence that conservatives are full
Speaker 4: of shit, that right there. That was the dream. That
Speaker 4: was kind of like the dream that you go to
Speaker 4: work and you're part of a family. You're part of
Speaker 4: a work fame, ye aren't you guys, the sort of
Speaker 4: coalition of family values. But it was supposed to be
Speaker 4: you know, hanging out down.
Speaker 2: We just said that, get the Bible thumpers into the polls.
Speaker 2: That's all really yea, get to work. Yeah, just such
Speaker 2: a nest soup mind And it just really is this,
Speaker 2: I you know, it's just like this. It's the disillusionment
Speaker 2: that young people feel when you go through this process.
Speaker 2: I went through it myself, graduating college when the fucking
Speaker 2: market crashed in two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight,
Speaker 2: and being like, dude, I my whole fucking life. They say,
Speaker 2: go to try and go to college, get a degree,
Speaker 2: you'll get a job. Then you can, you can you
Speaker 2: enter the middle class and there's that ship is full
Speaker 2: on vaporware.
Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, to then be like scratch your head and.
Speaker 2: Be like, why are they like fuck it, because you
Speaker 2: guys have already gone to this point. You don't realize
Speaker 2: how little the opportunity is for younger people and that
Speaker 2: there aren't even programs in place to be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess what man work under the threat of being
Speaker 2: unhoused and dying in the street.
Speaker 1: They did.
Speaker 4: The boomers didn't have to pull the ladder up as well,
Speaker 4: Like there was a way to do it where they
Speaker 4: sort of prospered, and then you know, their time in
Speaker 4: the sun came to an end and they sort of
Speaker 4: shed up their stack. But that just they bought all
Speaker 4: of the houses and then turned them into this weird
Speaker 4: financial commodity. But I've been thinking recently about this, like
Speaker 4: people our age when I entered the so i'd like
Speaker 4: did some jobs out of high school, you know, we
Speaker 4: can and call centers and stuff. And then when I
Speaker 4: decided that I wanted to get into radio, I did
Speaker 4: like a little radio school course. I got a job.
Speaker 4: I got made redundant three times in three years because
Speaker 4: it was during the GFC, right, That's like when I
Speaker 4: went in two thousand and eight, went out to get
Speaker 4: my first jobs in radio, just kept getting made redundant
Speaker 4: again and again again. Of course, no payouts or anything,
Speaker 4: because I was this a junior person who've been there
Speaker 4: like eleven months before the company fell over because advertising
Speaker 4: revem you dried up. But it's sort of it put
Speaker 4: this thing into my head which I hadn't realized until recently.
Speaker 4: I have never fucking trusted a job will be there.
Speaker 4: And I think there's a lot of people our age
Speaker 4: who we got quite like creative and sort of entrepreneurial
Speaker 4: because the job market completely failed us when we first
Speaker 4: got in to starting our careers. So we got so
Speaker 4: burned so early, which sucks because not everyone, you know,
Speaker 4: is that way inclined and not everyone wants to work
Speaker 4: like that. But there's there is a sector of like,
Speaker 4: you know, our generation and my friends and stuff, who
Speaker 4: I can see they got so fucked over in that
Speaker 4: period when we left high school we're trying to start
Speaker 4: our professional vibes that we were like, all right, this
Speaker 4: doesn't work, I'm going to have to do this myself entirely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And as that was happening to everyone, they were
Speaker 1: also bailing out millionaires and billionaires. So like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just like the irony.
Speaker 4: They can't look after themselves, apparently the richest people. It's like,
Speaker 4: oh no, they hunt look after themselves. They need welfare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. They always want to make it seem like
Speaker 1: we're childish and like that. But like this is something
Speaker 1: we've we talked about earlier in the week, This idea
Speaker 1: of like it's really easy when you're like talking about
Speaker 1: a generation or like big swaths of people, it's easy
Speaker 1: to just like make these broad, you know, determinations that
Speaker 1: they're they're actually more resentful this generation. They're because they're
Speaker 1: not adult enough. It's like, no, people are smart, they're
Speaker 1: reacting to the situation that you've put them in. And
Speaker 1: this is like the so the idea of social mobility
Speaker 1: has gone away in the United States, Like it's let
Speaker 1: like US, a thing that the United States like prided
Speaker 1: itself on has never been very true in the first place,
Speaker 1: and is far less true in the US than like
Speaker 1: in most other countries. It's and and yet we have
Speaker 1: a mainstream media that repeatedly tells you like, yeah, social mobil,
Speaker 1: do you just work your way up bootstrapg.
Speaker 2: But you're not gonna win if you're like engaged in
Speaker 2: like resenteism. Like that's just not a winning formula, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, It's just ingenuous.
Speaker 4: And you can let a lot of a lot of
Speaker 4: shit slide if you feel like you're working towards genuinely
Speaker 4: walking working towards the promotion or you're going to get
Speaker 4: the gold watch at some point. But as soon as
Speaker 4: that stuff gets taken away, like then you're just faced
Speaker 4: with the brutal reality of all the bullshit that comes
Speaker 4: with work. Yeah right, Yeah, people are going to be
Speaker 4: pissed off about that. They're going to react for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: And like the quiet quitting, it's like, no, these are
Speaker 2: people who are just protecting them their their emotional state
Speaker 2: from not going from losing their fucking minds having to
Speaker 2: toil in this fucked up cycle and it's not like,
Speaker 2: what's just quiet, quidn.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, man, I have to like.
Speaker 2: Half check out or else I'll fucking die. Like that's
Speaker 2: just how That's the only way I'm going to make
Speaker 2: it through this ship. But yeah, it's again it's the
Speaker 2: it's the children that are wrong because it's the exact
Speaker 2: same as I was. It's funny because I also have
Speaker 2: this conversation a lot too, like older people that I
Speaker 2: talked to who are like who are.
Speaker 1: Trying semi interested, and like my grandson, you know, he's
Speaker 1: like twenty one, and he's like, I'm worried, like he's
Speaker 1: never gonna leave his mother's home and you know, just
Speaker 1: like only work at this like like you know, like
Speaker 1: a subway kind of place. And I'm like, well, do you.
Speaker 2: Think that there are other options available to him? And
Speaker 2: they're like, well, I mean when I was their age, like,
Speaker 2: I had an apartment and I'm like, and what did
Speaker 2: you do for work to Like I worked at a restaurant?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so you worked in one job. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so you worked one job at a restaurant and you
Speaker 2: had an apartment in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Like in DC proper. Yeah, Okay, well you can't that
Speaker 1: that just so you know that financial reality does not
Speaker 1: fucking exist anymore. That's fucking fantasy now. And it's so
Speaker 1: like there's no like these like you know, the real
Speaker 1: entrenched media class and these like older people have not
Speaker 1: had like a had a reckoning with that reality. There's
Speaker 1: still there's still like this idea that that those opportunities
Speaker 1: still exist. So they're left scratching their head and like
Speaker 1: why are they all pissed off? Like I did it?
Speaker 4: But now you're right about their mass, You're right, I think, Yeah,
Speaker 4: there needs to be like more graphs. We need to
Speaker 4: give more graphs, need to make a comeback. They need
Speaker 4: to be big sixty graphs every way showing like the
Speaker 4: salaries versus rents in nineteen seventy and the nineteen eighty
Speaker 4: and then today so that our parents' generation can literally
Speaker 4: see oh crazy it is, and the generation under us
Speaker 4: as well. Right, Like you know, I'm I pulled my
Speaker 4: back going to the gym this week. That's how old
Speaker 4: I am. Just to give you a little little idea
Speaker 4: of where I'm coming from. But it is it's the
Speaker 4: like twenty twenty five year olds who are coming up
Speaker 4: now that I'm so fucking worried about. These guys got
Speaker 4: like three years of their high school socialization taken away
Speaker 4: from them, and so they're all a little bit weird inside. Kids. Anyway,
Speaker 4: the economy is completely cooked. And the trouble is they
Speaker 4: can see it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's like they go in and they're like, this whole
Speaker 4: fucking thing's on fire.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: At least we were like anxieties.
Speaker 2: At least we had like blinders on in the slaughterhouse,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like we were going through
Speaker 2: in calls.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's cool. And when I get outside,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna graduate Bovine University. And then you fucking go
Speaker 1: and then you get a pneumatic aircan and through your
Speaker 1: temple and you're fucking slumped over and they eat your
Speaker 1: fucking body. Whereas like these kids now, they're like, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing screams coming out of that yeah, killing all there.
Speaker 1: I'm like, are they My cousin does not look chill.
Speaker 4: My cousin looks like he is having a bad fucking
Speaker 4: time of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's and it's then that's why I think
Speaker 2: it's really fucked up that like there's still this continued
Speaker 2: analysis of trying to diagnose what's happening with like younger
Speaker 2: people without not looking at the fucking environment.
Speaker 1: Then what role that has to play with and just
Speaker 1: be like these kids are just so difficult.
Speaker 4: All right, you call them for you Forbes. They're fucking broke, dude. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they don't even any money and houses are too expensive.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, this is my column. There is five words
Speaker 1: said cent t worker is sad cent SA. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna add some sadness in there. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: runaway child because we're a family here at Morgan Stanley.
Speaker 1: Jamie Diamond did just come out and say the economy
Speaker 1: is booming. So I don't know what your cousin is
Speaker 1: talking about, but Jamie Diamond, Mark Morgan, Chase Bank exactly sick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's why I like, I hope too for
Speaker 2: like younger people that listen to the show and stuff
Speaker 2: like it sucks because it feels like you're in this
Speaker 2: world where no one fucking understands. But like, you know,
Speaker 2: I get it, some of us fucking get it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of people are getting lectured in
Speaker 2: these fucked up ways about like you can should be
Speaker 2: doing more without this actual consideration for the like the
Speaker 2: fucking terrarium that you're trying to exist in and how
Speaker 2: fucking violent and chaotic it is, because it's so fucking hard.
Speaker 2: And yeah, to your point, Tim like it, Like I
Speaker 2: feel so fucking fortunate that I, like was able to
Speaker 2: have a little bit of flexibility pivoting careers, Like I
Speaker 2: left politics.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to do comedy and I was able
Speaker 1: to do that. But I had like a parent that
Speaker 1: would like, let me live at home and try and
Speaker 1: get on my feet and shit, and but it's so
Speaker 1: fucking difficult now. And yeah, that's why I like you.
Speaker 1: You know, all this goes back to like what what
Speaker 1: do we expect from our leaders?
Speaker 4: I really I do have a faith that this is
Speaker 4: unsustainable though what's sort of the current just just mood
Speaker 4: and sort of I don't know, economic common sense that
Speaker 4: seems to be prevailing. Like the kids are smart, man,
Speaker 4: the people coming up our generation knows everything's pretty fucking
Speaker 4: nonsensical and unsustainable. But I don't think we sort of
Speaker 4: had the courage or the true like being in the
Speaker 4: house while it's on fire moment to sort of spur
Speaker 4: us into action. But I think the generation that's just
Speaker 4: coming out now they will so yeaheah.
Speaker 2: Because we got radicalized in our mid twenties, you know,
Speaker 2: our late or early to mid twenties.
Speaker 4: These kids are on TikTok now super early, and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: getting exposure to Max, you know Max's economic theory when
Speaker 4: there's twelve.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some.
Speaker 4: Good components of TikTok. Well it's getting banned, right, is
Speaker 4: it happening?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna get that, And that's how we're gonna
Speaker 1: deal with the rising socialism. With these younger TikTok they're
Speaker 1: in a TikTok they learned about fucking angles. Man, Get
Speaker 1: this ship off the fucking app It's all this TikTok crap.
Speaker 1: It's not the fucking world people live in. It's not
Speaker 1: that TikTok makes people pro Palestinian.
Speaker 2: It's that people have this the wherewithal to look at
Speaker 2: something and say, I don't like that, I don't like
Speaker 2: this situation, I don't like the financial reality of this country.
Speaker 2: But again, it's much it's more convenient to blame it
Speaker 2: on resenteeism or fucking TikTok rather than looking at the
Speaker 2: fucking but again, they benefit it from the status quo,
Speaker 2: So why fucking bother to really examine it?
Speaker 4: Do you think things are going to change?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I think change.
Speaker 2: I think like with anything, you know, like with with
Speaker 2: increased knowledge comes increased possibility. So I whither it might
Speaker 2: not happen like in a flash in a very dramatic way,
Speaker 2: but I feel like, like you know, you can just
Speaker 2: see with the rise in the labor movement in the
Speaker 2: United States, people at the very least are beginning to
Speaker 2: be like, I deserve more and I don't deserve to
Speaker 2: be existentially freaked out every time I get a paycheck
Speaker 2: because I have to worry about can I cover everything
Speaker 2: with it? But again, I'm sure there are many forces
Speaker 2: at work trying to, you know, shift attention and be
Speaker 2: like it's this or it's that, It's not because of
Speaker 2: people you know, stealing your money. But I do think, again,
Speaker 2: like with everything, like, I'm always heartened to see how engaged,
Speaker 2: like like younger and younger people are and so much
Speaker 2: more up on shit. I always say it that I'm like, dude,
Speaker 2: I fucking my head was fucking in the clouds when
Speaker 2: I was twenty one and I'm just I see some
Speaker 2: of like the most badass young people doing shit that
Speaker 2: like I couldn't even dream of doing, like even in
Speaker 2: my thirties. So I feel like that's it's building towards something.
Speaker 2: What that turns into will get to see, we shall
Speaker 2: take this see just quickly. I've I've I seriously believe this.
Speaker 2: I think that as soon as we can get magic
Speaker 2: mushrooms legalized quite broadly, yeah, in the West, I really
Speaker 2: think shit's going to pop off. I think it's going
Speaker 2: to be a fantastic catalyst for people kind of like
Speaker 2: waking up a little bit from the night room, being
Speaker 2: like a hold up, helping each other and hanging out
Speaker 2: and maybe restoring the environment in nature and looking after
Speaker 2: the planet that you know sustains us. I genuinely think
Speaker 2: if we can make a push to get mushrooms legalized,
Speaker 2: I think it's going to speed up the rate of improvement.
Speaker 2: It's definitely happening on the West Coast like every day
Speaker 2: like there that the movement for psychedelics like grows larger
Speaker 2: and larger and larger. But then again like yeah, and
Speaker 2: then we'll probably find it's like Pfizer's like yeah, take
Speaker 2: pilicidebox fromer Fine.
Speaker 1: If Izer wants to give out silicidebox, that's the great's
Speaker 1: probably the.
Speaker 4: Great thing about weight. That's why weed works, right, because
Speaker 4: you can grow weeds, so they will always growlicide box. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but mushrooms that it's very hard for them to God,
Speaker 4: I don't want to give Phizer any ideas, but please
Speaker 4: don't try and wipe out make.
Speaker 1: It more market right yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I do
Speaker 1: like the thing that what's that pharmacy or not pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: that chemical company did where they like, yeah, round up,
Speaker 1: They'll do the round up of psilocybin. Yeah, oh god,
Speaker 1: They're like round up. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You're going to see class action lawsuit commercials like in
Speaker 2: twenty years, Like did you take pilicidebox in the twenty thirties?
Speaker 1: If you did, you may be entitled to compensation. Right, Well, Tim,
Speaker 1: what a pleasure haven't you on the show? Thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us so early your time. Where can people
