1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of will

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: it ever trend turns out? I don't know, um, I'm Jack,

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: said is Miles, and yeah, the news is basically almost

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: totally about the shooting in Texas, have math, shooting of children,

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: ten year old. Everything there's like, I mean, as it

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: should be. It's it's national news. You know. The biggest

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: thing trending is betto Rourke actually confronted Governor Abbot yesterday

8
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: during a press conference. I don't know if you've heard

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: the audio of it, like the way that they're shouting

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: back at bettle or you know, it's it's really wild

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: because like it's like in a way that these like

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: did these supporters of Governor Abbott are almost like how

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: dare you? How cut? Like screaming so loud, it's like

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: where's the decorum? That might be your own guilt creeping

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: up because he's saying, this is on you, this is

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: on the politicians, the people who want to hump guns

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: all day and not consider the terrible situation that we're

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: putting children in and just every to everyone sucking everybody

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: in um with within action. So there was that that's trending.

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean they don't even want to hump guns. They

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: just do it for the money. Like that's the exact

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: thing that I'm coming to terms with is like they

23
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about on tomorrow's episode, leaked audio

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: from m n R a like conference like right after Combine,

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and they were like, well, we got these fruit fruitcakes

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: and nuts. Uh, bunch of hillbillies who might embarrass us,

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: like they don't believe in their ship. They're just from that.

28
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: There's just a fucking business. I mean, yeah, that's pretty

29
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: much all we talk about. Yeah, that's what we talked

30
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: about tomorrow. Um, the Onion released the article they always released,

31
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: no way to prevent this as only nation where this

32
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: regularly happens, but they published it twenty one times on

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: their front page, and then you know, just a lot

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: of statistics about how this truly is the nation where

35
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: this regularly happens. Over half of the mass shootings of

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the past fifty years deadliest mass shootings of the past

37
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: fifty years happened in the US and countries like Australia

38
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: where like you know, they had a deadly mass shooting

39
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: and past gun reform have seen amazing changes. But people

40
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: treat it as though it's not something that anything could

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: be done about the same with you know, like in

42
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Scotland there's the Dunblane massacre that also people were like, okay,

43
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: we're done with this, but we can't even we can't,

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: we just can't. Man with just such a sickness in

45
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: this country. All this is just constantly revealing every It's

46
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: like every week we've just been hit with these stories

47
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: and like this is a this is a failed state.

48
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: The United States completely unable to pull ourselves out of

49
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: the problems that we're looking at. Every single person who's

50
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: not on Capitol Hill or most normal people who aren't

51
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, so massively wealthy, we're looking at the same

52
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: problems pretty much the same way. But no matter how

53
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: much people will say like it's all it's all about electoralism,

54
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: I'm all I'm looking at over and over and over

55
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: and over again, is people clamoring for help, but there

56
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: are too many vested interests in not improving things that

57
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: we just don't do anything. So we're just getting these

58
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: absurd cycles of tragedy. And yeah, I mean, I'm I

59
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: just there's a desperate need and want and energy for

60
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: something to do. People want something to do, and the

61
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: fact that there is not something to do, not like

62
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: a party that actually acts on behalf of the people

63
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: is like, that's really all you need to know. But

64
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean it also needs is something that needs to change,

65
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: and like it has to. It's not going to come

66
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: from the corporate uh, you know, national party level, and

67
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: it's not gonna come from corporations. That's for a long

68
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: time that has been the only thing that does anything

69
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: in our country. And so that is we we lack

70
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: the imagination, you know, we lack the imagination, as we

71
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: talked about on the with Margaret Kildoy. Yeah, and and

72
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what I think makes these moments very

73
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: feel even more disorienting because you're like, no, this can't

74
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: be happening. This can't happen, Like I certainly don't want

75
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: to stand for it. Well we're not like every but

76
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: like the idea stopped there. Yeah, and it's no longer.

77
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: Well they need to we should talk about all the

78
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: n r A donations, people getting vote amount. That's not

79
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: that that that that doesn't work either. Uh. And I

80
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: honestly just you know, people just need to radicalize themselves

81
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: a bit and understand really how how much of an

82
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: awful situation things are when we just can't we can't

83
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: even like you know, people can't even be moved with

84
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: massive death constantly. I hear a lot of people, I've

85
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: heard this from a lot of people, the um you know,

86
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: looking at their own reaction being like, you know, I

87
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: felt bad. I felt like I was like, you know,

88
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: dead to this for a little bit. I was just

89
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm out of reactions because every

90
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: time I have a like emotional outburst around the story,

91
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm like I've had that before, like nothing, like nothing,

92
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, my brain is like, oh yeah, but we've

93
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: we've done this before. Um, like it's don't be hard

94
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: like that. It is a crazy making situation. It is

95
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: absolutely a city situation that is designed to drain you

96
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: of hope and energy and options. Um, we have to

97
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: create our own. But like, don't be hard on yourself

98
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: for feeling that way. We just need to do something.

99
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly, as a lot of people have pointed

100
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: out on social media, like the thing they don't want

101
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: is to be confronted like the politicians, And you can

102
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: tell by how quickly we have laws that protect them

103
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: from being confronted confrontation direct action. UM, I mean, you know,

104
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: this is I hope, I hope this ends with more

105
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: people getting on the same page to make it a

106
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: little bit easier to do things collectively. UM. And that's

107
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: the one thing that I hold out for is that

108
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: I know that there are more people who see this

109
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: and see how fucked up and absurd this all is.

110
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: And we're just trying to figure out how we at

111
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: ourselves out of the situation where we let, you know,

112
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: just a handful of people completely negate the things that

113
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: we need as human beings still to fucking live. Yeah,

114
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: we have the roadmap. We've seen what other countries are

115
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: able to do with aggressive gun control. We saw what

116
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: like not very aggressive, but still like actually effectual gun

117
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: control after Columbine did like mass shootings went down and

118
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: then they let the assault weapon band laps because that

119
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: is what was in the best interest of commerce. UM.

120
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Just a couple of misinformation things that I wanted to

121
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: point out. There's the um Greg Abbott in like Chicago's

122
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: deadliest city, murder capital of America. Not true, by the way, Like,

123
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: but like that's you know, obviously there are parts of

124
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Chicago that are horrifying and he's like, they have some

125
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: of the toughest gun laws, is like their one argument um,

126
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: and studies have found that those guns come from outside

127
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: of Chicago or smuggled in from you know, surrounding areas

128
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: like Indiana that have extremely laxed gun laws. So any

129
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: time they make that they're making an argument for federal

130
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: gun control laws is basically And then also I just

131
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Candice Ellen's uh started tweeting about the shooter being trans

132
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: um and this is the second time in a couple

133
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: of weeks where somebody has responded to an act of

134
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: violence and that obviously totally different situation, but the Dave

135
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: Chappelle thing with him being like it was a trans

136
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: person who attacked me, And in this case, I just

137
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: feel like there's like like that that's so dangerous and

138
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: there's something that's there, like they're just they keep pawing

139
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: at that. It's like a fucking raptor waiting for it

140
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: to be like, Okay, now is the time to just

141
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: completely weaponize this um. And again, I have to believe

142
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: that there are more people who will look at that

143
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: and be like that's not true and that's sucked up.

144
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: Then the people who are going to jump onto that

145
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: and be like, yes, this is the way. But it's

146
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: we're just in this like very precarious moment where I

147
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: feel like there's so many people vying for different outcomes

148
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: for this country, but too few of them are doing

149
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: something that is like for the actual benefit of people

150
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: rather than their own like demented fucking agenda to be

151
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: relevant or stay in power. Yeah, all right, let's take

152
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back,

153
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: And Mike Pence's name is trending today. Um because of this.

154
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: There's just some wild chip. The New New York Times

155
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: report about what happened on the day of January six. Yeah,

156
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: they this is I mean again, we're not surprised by anything.

157
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: But when you hear when you read this, just first

158
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: two paragraphs of this article, huh uh, and then I'll

159
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: just read it. Shortly after, hundreds of riders at the

160
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Capitol started chanting, hang Mike Pence. On January six, the

161
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, left the dining

162
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: room of the Oval office, walked into his own office,

163
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: and told colleagues that President Donald J. Trump was complaining

164
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: that the vice president was being whisked to safety Mr Meadows,

165
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: according to an account provided to the House Committee investigating

166
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: January six, then told the colleagues that Mr Trump has

167
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: said something to the effect of maybe Mr Pence should

168
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: be hung. Huh. Yeah, so like that he it's like

169
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: more ship right if he's allowed to run for president,

170
00:10:53,440 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: Like we're straight up it's like authoritarian like times you

171
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: know it is that is that's wild man. That is

172
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: just straight up like that's going to be in history books, right,

173
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: and it depends on which state is the one dictating

174
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: what makes it in the textbooks that year. But yeah,

175
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's again more mounting evidence where it's like, okay,

176
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: can you just do something like what are we? And

177
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing. They're just too afraid of

178
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: taking away the you know, they're just upsetting unreasonable people. Yeah,

179
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: and all that does is make our existence more absurd

180
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: by capitulating to people who are invested in like the

181
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: antithesis of safety and prosperity. Yeah, it's yeah, So anyway,

182
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I mean, they got their whole

183
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, Dog and Pony show coming up, so we'll

184
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: see if they're you know, they got some new gems

185
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: they have an unearthed for political chess game. But yeah,

186
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: the the darkness continues to fall over that city. The

187
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: capital um Bumble is planning to expand further into social

188
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: networking with a new communities feature. So just finding a friend,

189
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, not not a funk buddy. I didn't know

190
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: that they had the friend finding feature. Um, and I

191
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: did not know that it was so it was swipe based,

192
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: So there's people just like evaluating you as a friend

193
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: by swiping. I'd like multiple levels of rejection. I'd like

194
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: to be rejected as a potential romantic partner also just

195
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: to chill. I don't know, it looked like we like

196
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: the same ship fun that. Um, yeah, this makes more sense.

197
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: So what they're doing is they're moving beyond that model,

198
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: which doesn't like, that's not how you pick friends. You're

199
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: not like I get that you could be like, Okay,

200
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: this person of color and who likes the same interested me. Okay,

201
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: I might beople talking to them. I don't know what

202
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Yeah, but like this it seems like

203
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: more you know, social groups where users can connect with

204
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: one another based on topics and interests and not just

205
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: being matches. Yeah, that that seems like I mean, I mean,

206
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: that's just meet up. Like that's just uh remember that website.

207
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: That's just that's just what the internet has been doing

208
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: for a long time. But we've been doing. I love

209
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: you know that. That is one of the good things

210
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: about the Internet that it would be great if we

211
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: could get back to doing that, is using it to

212
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: actually meet up with people and great communities. I mean,

213
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: like that's what the irony of it, too, write is

214
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: like our tech brained minds are like we've we've drift

215
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: away from like old school ship like meeting new people.

216
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: It's like sucking the app can help you do all this.

217
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm just I wonder how many people who are going

218
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: to get caught with the app and they're gonna be like,

219
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking for friends. I wasn't using Bumble to look

220
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: for people to have sex with. I was just looking

221
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: for somebody who also liked the hip podcast Mad Boost

222
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: These That's all right, That's all I was doing. Perdue, Um,

223
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: what does David Perdue is that Um got bodied in

224
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: the Georgia election predictably, you know, he was, he was

225
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: down thirty points. It turns out I may not win,

226
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: but I'm sure as hell and not down thirty points, No, dad,

227
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: gum thirty points. In fact, he was, oh well, what's

228
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: interesting is uh uh Raefensburger, Brad Raefensberger, I think that's

229
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: his name, who was the Secretary of State. Um, who

230
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: was like the Republican in Georgia who was like, yeah,

231
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: we're not gonna like that wasn't one Trump's like find

232
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: the votes on the phone. He won his re election bid,

233
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are like, oh, ship, bro,

234
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: he fucked up being a human being who stood up

235
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: for electoral norm. Oh yeah, remember he got out, so

236
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Trump did. Trump was not able

237
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: to defeat him either. M Um. Colin Kaepernick trending getting

238
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: to work out with the Las Vegas Raiders to be

239
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: a backup, which he uh you know, absolutely deserves to

240
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: be wild, but he hasn't been up to this point. Yeah,

241
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean he hasn't played since two thousand and sixteen.

242
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Jesus like look, you know, like look around, yeah, just

243
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: just just fucking look around, man. This guy got his

244
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: career fucking destroyed because he was protesting racial violence and

245
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: injustice and effectively just just just disappeared somebody. That's ship,

246
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: like that is happen. It's it's normal in this country.

247
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's what we have to really so

248
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: many things that we have to challenge ourselves to say,

249
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: like this ship is fucked up, not normal. We can't

250
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: do this anymore. Yea, Um, when we reached that tipping point, tbd.

251
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: But my hope is that more and more people are

252
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: starting to see how how bad things are and also

253
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: get an idea for how much better things can be. Um,

254
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, if we if we move in the right direction.

255
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, how do you feel about like the corporate

256
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: as like the fact that he you know, became a

257
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: Nike sort of spokesperson, and because I'm I'm so just

258
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: disillusioned with the entire state of things and the fact

259
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: that like it all seems to like come back to

260
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: hyper capitalism, you know, and so the combating of like,

261
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, getting his story out seems important when when

262
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: that happened, at the time, I was like, yeah, well obviously,

263
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: like definitely get the bag. Also, like it's important that

264
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: people understand that he is a great athlete who you know,

265
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: whose career was cut short by him standing up for something.

266
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like I don't know

267
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: that that just that overall strategy, right, Yeah, it doesn't

268
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: feel like it's no it's doing it for us, No,

269
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: because everything, I mean, you can't the corporations already are

270
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: a malignant entity. So there's nothing that they can interact

271
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: with that is done for any kind of reason other

272
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: than to serve itself. And yeah, like I get for him, great,

273
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,239
Speaker 1: like get a check, I get it. You fucking you

274
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: can't work. Nike wants to up their cred by you know,

275
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: having you be associated with them, so be it. But

276
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: like you know, if if you're if you're ever going

277
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: to read a story where you're like, wow, that company

278
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: did well, it's one where they did it without people knowing,

279
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: and that will never happen. Like it's all about pr

280
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: and shareholder value and ship like that. Like I'd be

281
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: surprised if, like you know, like the the fairy tale

282
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: version would have been Like in Colin Kaepernick was back

283
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: in the league and then a few years later it's like,

284
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Nike lean leaned on the league and said

285
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: like no, this is you know, like I don't know,

286
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: it's just we're just never going to see anything like that.

287
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: But good luck to him. I hope he's able to

288
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: find a team and and do the thing that he

289
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: likes to do, which should be the right of every person.

290
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: And finally, uh, I have had the word of answer spoiled.

291
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: No word world, the warning wordle spoiler coming up. We

292
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: won't say, we won't say the word I don't want.

293
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: But people are pissed about the word. Um, I I

294
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: haven't like. This is probably uh stupid on my part,

295
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: but I usually people don't like make the word the

296
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: answer to word will trend um on social media, but

297
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: like the this day, it showed up in our trending

298
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: doc and um, you know I my hundred and twenty

299
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: eight day streak of getting wordal Um. You know it

300
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me because I am the world greatest I think. Yeah,

301
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: you keep saying that, how do we were the receipts

302
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: for that? Can we? I compared my staf. I put

303
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: my stats out there, um, and people shared their stats

304
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: and some of them were better than me. But that's
