00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: Ben Affleck, James Gandolfini, Catherine O'Hara, and Christina Applegate.

78
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Wow have you heard of this? I've heard this. I've

79
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: totally missed it. It like just falls into the same

80
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: category as Christmas with the Cranks, the Family Stone Right,

81
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: there's like those ensemble Christmas movies that I think there's

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: a Vince Vaughn won like five Christmas Christmas, yeah, with

83
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Reese Witherspoon, Sorry to give him an extra Christmas basically yeah.

84
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: I mean it's so secret why Van Vaught only made

85
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: it to three Christmas.

86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: No secret.

87
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: But this movie, like it was one of those two

88
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: thousand and four is an interesting time because this is

89
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: like my what sophomore year of college, so I'm like

90
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: deep into being off mainstream media, Like I'm only watching

91
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 2: like deep cut foreign movies, you know, thinking you're deep

92
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: in shit. So when this movie came out, I'm like, yeah,

93
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go fucking see this nonsense.

94
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen every ingmar Bergman movie. Okay, exactly exactly.

95
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: And this weekend we were looking for a movie, like

96
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: a holiday movie, and I was like, and there are

97
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: I go into every holiday movie and like it's gonna

98
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: be bad, So fuck it, let's watch this one. This

99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: thing is so fucking bad it I thought I thought

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: it was so good. No, like it's underrated in that

101
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: Like I'm telling everyone to see it because it's gonna

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: fuck your head up because James Gandalfini is basically playing

103
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: Tony soprano and he's married to Catherine O'Hara, and like

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: it's such a that duo in your mind that was

105
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: already fucking me up. I'm like, dude, Gandalfini's doing Tony

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: and Catherine O'Hara's is Catherine o'harring it up?

107
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Ben Afflex performed.

108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: It's about a millionaire who wants to like recapture his

109
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: like you know, lack of love childhood Christmas. So he

110
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 2: just goes to his childhood home and pays this family

111
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: like a quarter million dollars just to play pretend for

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: a few days. And Ben Affleck's character, like his four

113
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: millionaire is Yeah, it's manic. I've never seen Ben Affleck

114
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: perform like this, and it's cartoonish. The script is so bad,

115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: You're like, how could this have been greenlit? But it's

116
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: like a treat because I'm like everyone like I like,

117
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: individually Catherine O'Hara and James Gandelfini.

118
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: So it's really.

119
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: Fun to watch them in this thing with a script

120
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: that has gone completely off the rails.

121
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: Wow.

122
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: So I can't recommend it enough because it just seems

123
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: like it's just so obscure but has the payoff of

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: being really a fucking head scratcher.

125
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: In terms of that it is, well, we now have

126
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: we always do our year end holiday party with a

127
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: bad Christmas movie. Oh, throw that on the background. We're

128
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: I think it's I think this is going to be

129
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: our background Christmas movie, Surviving Christmas, which the like horror

130
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: genre has to be pissed that they got to the

131
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,760

Speaker 1: word for word if.

185
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: Someone setting a manger on fire on your teeth.

186
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: Hey, but the manger is there. Yeah. I also want

187
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: to shout out the historic significance of Limp Biscuits. Just

188
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: one of those days.

189
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: Wow.

190
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: I encountered this song over the weekend and it started

191
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: like playing in my brain. What's that? That's a guitar bar?

192
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: Now?

193
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: Just those days and I was just thinking about it,

194
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: like Limp Biscuit as it relates to rage, like rage

195
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: against the machine dropped killing in the name in ninety two.

196
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: Limp Biscuits first album came out in ninety seven, and

197
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: I feel like they just filtered out the class consciousness

198
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: of rage and like just like in this song, Fred

199
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Durst is mad because well as you might remember it's

200
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: just one of those days where wait, like it's like

201
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: a song about being grumpy and waking up on the

202
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: wrong side of the bed. He does specifically says like

203
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: in case you're hoping to get any sort of articulate

204
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: analysis of where the anger is coming from in his generation,

205
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: he specifically says, you don't really know why, but you

206
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: want to justify someone's head off, like specifically removing any

207
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: explanation any cause there's also like the refrain it's all

208
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: about that he said, she said bullshit. So it's just

209
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: like any attempt to analyze why people are angry is

210
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: just he said, she said bullshit. It's just all meaningless,

211
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, it just like taps into this

212
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: dissatisfaction that was like made fashionable and like potent to

213
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: buy rage against the machine and then is like, hey,

214
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: white guys, you can feel it too, and you know,

215
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: just try it on without any any sort of.

216
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: I just yeah, means almost it feels like this is

217
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: the like you say, it's it's like rages down rodeo

218
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: with no class consciousness at all. Generally, it's like, yo,

219
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: you're like down rodeo. We know what's we know what's

220
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: going on with down Rodeo. This one I just love.

221
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at genius, at the lyrics, and again

222
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 2: Limp Biscuit doesn't need a genie. They needs no genius.

223
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 2: And now it says especially.

224
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: That looking up Limp Biscuit lyrics on Genius is just

225
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,239
Speaker 1: a funny thing. It's just actually just break the website.

226
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: This is way more entertaining because again that course is.

227
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: All about that he said, she said bullshit.

228
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: I think you better letting ship slip or you'll be

229
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 5: leaving with a fat lip.

230
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: That fat Okay, all right, here's that annotation.

231
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: He suggests the person he's talking about should basically keep

232
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: their mouth shut and quit gossiping or talking shit or

233
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: he's going to punch you in the face.

234
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. And didn't figure that out, so shout

235
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: out to Olympus. I feel like maybe in the you know,

236
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: trajectory of America's descented to fascism, like they will be

237
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: an early kind of symbol that people could have been like,

238
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's because that is like, you know, fascism's

239
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: playbook is take the you know, esthetics of leftist and

240
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: like progressive policy and politics, and you know, take the

241
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: anger and then just remove any of the content, any

242
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: of the meaning and just like put it in the

243
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: name of reactionary bullshit. So hell yeah, dog, and that's

244
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: kind of cool, and that's kind of cool. I'm off, Yeah,

245
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the documentary about Woodstockment, but I'm assuming,

246
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they talk about some of this stuff. Dude.

247
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: It's it's vile.

248
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole thing, front to back, from just the

249
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: capitalist gouging to the lack of safety, all of it.

250
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty interesting though.

251
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: Right, it does feel like half the artists they talked

252
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: to just seemed deeply traumatized by even from performing there.

253
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Damn. Yeah, even Fred. I'm sure they talked to Fred.

254
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I can't remember. They must have, but I

255
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: just remember fat Boy Slim was like.

256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: Shook, Yeah, just like the the most evil like that.

257
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: That was an early sign that we just ignored. Yeah,

258
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Brian points out it it is kind of in the

259
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: same family as like fight Club Matrix office Space, where

260
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: it like taps into this dissatisfied white guy energy of

261
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: the late nineties. But yeah, they and like in office Space,

262
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: like remember that opens with a white guy like listening

263
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: to gangster rap, like listening to rap music that has

264
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: like the energy and is like actually coming from a

265
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: place of like, you know, suffering and you know, class consciousness,

266
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: and he's just like appropriating it and he and he's

267
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: like using the anger to get mad at fucking photo

268
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: copy machines. Yeah, oh my gosh, that was so fucking good. Dude,

269
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: What a time to be alive. Yeah, what's something, Miles?

270
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Do you think it is overrated? Uh?

271
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: The the way fathers abandoned their families in the modern era,

272
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: now stick with me here again. In watching for Surviving Christmas,

273
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: there's this like there's a trope I forgot that we

274
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: don't really they don't really use in TV and film anymore,

275
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: which is Ben Affleck's talking about a sad child and

276
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: goes and my dad walked out on our family Christmas morning,

277
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: and I just like set me in a time machine.

278
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, what happened to that?

279
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: That used to be so standard in like fucked up backstories,

280
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: Like I remember it was Thanksgiving, my dad went out

281
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: for turkey or cranberry sauce and never came back. Like

282
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: that whole thing of just fully phantom ghosting. Now there

283
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: are people now, I think most men just do it

284
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: very gradually by gradually emotionally detaching from their families in

285
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: a way that they're physically there but maybe emotionally gone.

286
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: But this, I've just like laughed so hard thinking about,

287
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: like that was so normal, like whatever that like I

288
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: don't know, like the few times that came out as

289
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: like a trope in a film, it just sort of

290
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: became this way to always be like, yeah, dad went

291
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: out for cigarettes, like that whole thing. We've we've we've

292
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: moved on, we've evolved past that.

293
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: Christmas or Thanksgiving is definitely them getting out there like

294
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: inner dramatic queen, Like why why do it on such

295
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: a such a such an really make a point I

296
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: get out of here, fuck you?

297
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: Then I should Maybe they could have done it last

298
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: night or I don't know at the moment I realized

299
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: I could have, you know, spoken to my partner. But yeah,

300
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: I just love the we don't walk out on our

301
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: families on Christmas anymore.

302
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: I know, speak for yourself. But the the Gremlins, uh

303
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: story where her dad leaves because he like she thinks

304
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: he's left the family, and then they start smelling something

305
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: coming out of the chimney that is up like permanently

306
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: into my brain.

307
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that that scar had healed for me, but

308
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: you reopened it.

309
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm here for. Also, the the other two

310
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: the way their dad died. Oh wait, how did their

311
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: dad die? Another two got drunk on the roof during

312
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: Christmas and like froze to death. I think, mister yeah,

313
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: rough rough one. Yeah all right, my overrated like kind

314
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: of the blood lists begrudging treatment of progressive ideas in

315
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: mainstream culture. I was, I was watching this NFL game

316
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: and uh there was Lions, bills all that. Josh Allen, Man,

317
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: what you see from a different planet. This guy's incredible.

318
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: What happened was that? Is that?

319
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: Is that the game where the guy fucking fumbled the

320
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: ball at the goal line?

321
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Again?

322
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: I just saw a clip of another like, I don't

323
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: know how NFL players keep dropping the ball before it

324
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: breaks the plane for a touchdown.

325
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do it, fir sorry, because they're it's the

326
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: it's my NFL player. It's the NFL player equivalent of

327
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: a leaving on Christmas. You know, just wait for the

328
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: dramatic moment and black. Yeah, I leveled the bag on

329
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: Christmas morning. But so I was watching the game and

330
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: at one point they get back from commercials, which still

331
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: the only thing my six year old wants to watch.

332
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: He comes over and watches the commercials because and like

333
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: I get it, like seeing it through his eyes. They

334
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: are like these three million dollars like short films, like

335
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, no expense spared on the commercials. They're like,

336
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: you know, getting filmmakers to tell stories they you know,

337
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: are analyzed and poured it over, and.

338
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: Then a lot of instances paid, like actors are paid

339
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: better to be in a commercial than they are in

340
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: a movie.

341
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, so And then we get back and

342
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: we have the announcer just like read through this copy

343
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: chunk with zero intonation. I actually, like I was so

344
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: struck by it that I actually went back and like

345
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: wrote it down word for word. Okay, Yeah, he's like

346
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: talking about this wide receivers having a great game. He

347
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: was like on the Lions and now he's come back

348
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: to haunt them because they he's now on the Bills

349
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: and the Bills are kicking the shit out of the Lions,

350
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: and uh he's like, and I'm going to tell you

351
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: about it right after this. Well, the NFL Family advances

352

Speaker 1: social justice and u as barriers to opportunity through work

353

Speaker 1: in police community relations, criminal justice reform, and economic advancement.

356
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: Change change Maker, visit and then read the URL and

357
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: back to the game. And like the energy of like

358
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: back to the game is like, oh, all right, we

359
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: got that bullshit over the fuck, you know, like just

360
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: like reading through the unpleasant side effects at the end

361
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: of the medicine commercial is like the energy that they

362
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: give to this. They don't even say the person's name,

363
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: like they they show a quick cutaway to a woman

364
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: holding an oversized like ceremonial check for ten thousand dollars

365
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: made out to like Detroit Public schools. But they don't

366
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: even like tell the story or anything. It's just fucking

367
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: boilerplate copy that they're reading to get it out of

368
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: the way. And it's just like, of course social justice

369
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: is going to like to like fucking teenagers and adolescents

370
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: and shit like that. Like they they're all like this

371
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: is actually bullshit, dude, Like they they're just forced to

372
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: read this shit because of course it's like treated by

373
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: the people who make the ship. They watch as like

374
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: bad vegetables. They need to like force down our throat

375
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: before we can have fun again.

376
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, it feels like such transparent, like

377
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 2: they have to generate moral cover because the NFL is

378
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: already you know, questionable league in terms of how like

379
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: players end up and it's treatment of players and all

380
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. So they're probably like, all right,

381
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: do the oversized check thing and we can go to

382
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: sleep one more night.

383
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, get like they.

384
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: Don't, like I feel I don't. I don't know how

385
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: conscious it is or if it's just like because it's

386
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: not profitable, it just gets so much less attention, and

387
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: they're just like we have to like fucking say this.

388
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, in this era of such like backlash to anything

389
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: quote woke, we're surprised they're still even doing it, you know,

390
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 2: because it feels like so many, so many institutions and

391
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: companies have completely abandoned like any idea or any notion

392
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: that they like it was something that they should be

393
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: doing as like a major force in culture.

394
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, well they're certainly like getting a suppress and

395
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: less energy because yeah, and it's just like this is

396
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: of course why social justice movements fizzle in America, like

397
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: in a market driven world, like the people who make

398
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: the decision of what's profitable will just pay lip service

399
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: to it in a way that basically has unimplied jacking

400
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: off hand motion like the whole prime they're doing it right,

401
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: Like it's like I feel like it's more damaging to

402
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: do what they're doing than nothing at all when you

403
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: do what you're doing there. Yeah, it implies that it's

404
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: like a thing that they're in on which they suck.

405
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: So like everybody nobody like thinks that nobody is thinking

406
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: this is cool. Like everybody's like, uh, like they're like

407
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: trying to brainwash us, because they sound like they're fucking

408
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: brainwashed as they're reading it, because they're giving it absolutely nothing.

409
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was. I really believed in the NFL

410
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: too well, Like I heard it on like a radio

411
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 1: like spot where like somebody like gave just a brief

412
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: nod to a event that had happened in black history

413
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: that day, but like just such a cursory like mention

414
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: moving on, And I'm just like noticing it everywhere that

415
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: they feel like they have to do it, but they're

416
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: doing it like begrudgingly and so the whole thing just

417
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: feels like, Yeah, I just can see the adolescent boy

418
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: mind being like this is actually not cool, Like they're

419
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: just trying to fucking trick me. Man.

420
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like the Commune City Service Project for

421
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: like a teenager who has caught graffitiing like racist stuff

422
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: on a wall.

423
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, and now you gotta read this. It's energy. Yeah,

424
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: it's like, fucking dare I have to because I'm fucking

425
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: up right. Yeah, all right, let's uh, let's take a

426
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll get into some of the news.

427
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: These fucking drones won't leave me alone. Man, We'll be

428

00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: tone as my wall paint? That can't be safe. I

433
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: was going for the thing from that iconic uh Pink

434
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: Floyd postered you know that where the girls are all

435
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: painted with different album covers reference, Yes, very time reference.

436
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: Did you have that poster? I did not, but it

437
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: was like one of the cooler posters that was more

438
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: a high school freshman year of college poster.

439
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 2: I feel like, what's like one of your favorite posters

440
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: that you do you think about?

441
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: So? I lived in a dormant high school, right and

442
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: I had my room covered in every Wu Tang album

443
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: cover from thirty six Chambers up through Wu Tang Forever. Wow,

444
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: And that was like all I wanted on my wall.

445
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: I think I actually had a couple of movie posters,

446
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: but like I had the wall of Wu Tang at

447
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: a New England prep school.

448
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: I guess like between the two, wouldn't there really only

449
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: be thirty six chambers in wou Tag Forever.

450
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: In that time period? You know all the solo jizzu.

451
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: Oh, then you would have like maybe ghost space Killer.

452
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I got it, got it, got it.

453
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: But the one that I feel like is the most

454
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: iconic poster of my childhood is the Jordan Wings poster. Okay,

455
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: when you.

456
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 2: Said Wings, I thought you were talking about Paul McCartney

457
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh boy, yeah, you.

458
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: Don't that one. Paul McCartney's band Wings are chilling. But

459
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: like I had it in my room, my math teacher

460
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: had it up in her room.

461
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: Oh, that's the one where his arms are fully out

462
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: like that, his arms.

463
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: Are fully out to the side. It's like wider than

464
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: it is tall. It's supposed to be like life size. Wait,

465
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: what teacher did you say? My math teacher?

466
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: Yo, this is so funny now I think about your

467
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: science teacher had it in his office.

468
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this was like I.

469
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 2: Think, Yeah, I'm a cool teacher. I got the wings

470
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: post It's like, I love Michael Jordan.

471
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody has Jordan posters, but I'm also kind of

472
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: into art and poetry because like this one's black and

473
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: white and he's just like kind of staring into your soul.

474
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: And it has a William Blake quote on it, which

475
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: I had totally forgotten until I looked it up on

476
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: eBay today, the quote being no birds soars too high

477
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: if he soars with his own wings, which I hadn't

478
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: really thought about at the time. Not really a good quote, right,

479
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: nobody's ever really accusing birds of soaring too high? Too

480
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: high would come down? Who do you think you are?

481
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 5: A bird?

482
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: As you can see behind me, I am rocking. I

483
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: have the poster from a Walkman concert that I went to.

484
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: You can get movie posters, you can get concert posters.

485
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: All of that stuff exists on eBay, But I think

486
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: I got to add a wings poster to my backdrop.

487
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: What do you think?

488
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: Well, look, if wings are your thing, we all got

489
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 2: a thing and it's on eBay. Maybe it's fashion, car parts,

490
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: trading cards, retro posters, anything you can collect. So go

491
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: find the thing that keeps you up at night. Whatever

492
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: you love, find it on eBay. eBay things people love.

493
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're back. And actually I do want

494
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: to Brian, do you have your mic on? I'm here

495
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: all right, So I just want like a I don't

496
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: need you to weigh in any specific moment, but I

497
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: am just curious to hear your thoughts on this because

498
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: I am hearing from a lot of people, like I

499
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: gave my take on this last week, that there are

500
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: a ton of drones out there now. Brian the editor

501
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: is the proud owner of a drone. You know, I

502
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: talked about seeing this like drone display at a ski

503
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: resort that was like mind boggling and but also like

504
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: it did an array, but they were like doing like

505
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: they it like turned into a dragon at one part,

506
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: like they did that.

507
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: A lot in China, they have like huge ones.

508
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: But like this was not like this was Big Bear,

509
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: which is like, you know, just a you know, very

510
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 1: normal like ski area. They're not it's not like a

511
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: high tech like energy at all, but like they were

512
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: able to like program this kind of impress show. Yeah,

513
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: I've seen like really impressive like drones stuff, and so

514
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to like get my head around what

515
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: are people seeing that is so much more impressive. They're like, well,

516
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: it couldn't be like, well, you know, people, because there's

517
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: so many of them. It's like I've seen like fifty

518
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: drones like operating together as one like that. I feel

519
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: like if somebody put that array above New Jersey right now,

520
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: everybody would fucking lose their minds, like because you know,

521
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: like it's I don't quite understand how this has like

522
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: it's only growing, and I don't know if it's just

523
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 1: if I'm missing something or if the country just like

524
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: badly needs something to like have a little hysteria about

525
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: that is that allows them to be like distracted from reality.

526
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 5: Well, there is something special about drones. Drones are in

527
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 5: my experience, there's certain types of people who are just

528
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 5: triggered by the sight of a drone and they immediately

529
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 5: get upset, Like, I remember, what's that neighborhood app? What's

530
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 5: that app for? Like neighborhoods where you can like, you know,

531
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: knock on people when.

532
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: Stuff citizen next door next door.

533
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 5: So I remember arguing with someone on next door who

534
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 5: was convinced that a drone was spying on her in

535
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 5: her house. Yeah, and I had to carefully explain to

536
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: her how cameras work and how that's there's that's not

537
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 5: a thing.

538
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: Right through roof like that.

539
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 5: Like, she said that, like there was a drone spying

540
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 5: on her kids in her backyard.

541
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm pretty sure.

542
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure no one.

543
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: Cares about your dumb kids in your backyard.

544
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 5: I mean, but yeah, it's just like something about a

545
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 5: drone that upsets certain types of people when they see it.

546
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 3: And I don't know what that is.

547
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, so people don't like seeing drones. They're suddenly

548
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: seeing a lot more of them. This has continued to

549
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: grow over the weekend. Marjorie Taylor Green has continued to

550
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: make public statements claiming that the government is in control

551
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: of the drones. Donald Trump suggested that the government needs

552
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: to admit that they're behind the drones or shoot them down.

553
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: I just love the energy of this guy who's about

554
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: to be the president feeling like the government controls the drones.

555
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 5: I haven't been following this story. Well what kind of

556
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 5: drones are people seeing? Are they seeing like predator drones?

557
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 5: Are they seeing the kind of you get it?

558
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: They're saying that they're seeing drones that are as big

559
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: as an suv flying through the air.

560
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: Brian, so that who's on Reddit as much as you are,

561
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: I'm surprised you haven't seen all this drone.

562
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: Shit because it don't follow American news.

563
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: No, but it's in like it's on I've seen it

564
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: in so many subreddits right now people post them.

565
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: Also.

566
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 5: I'm also weaning myself off of Reddit. Good for your

567
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 5: congratulations because it's mostly boxed that.

568
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: So what do you after he leaves this episode of Miles,

569
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: we'll have a discussion of why it seems like Brian

570
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: thinks he's better than us.

571
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: I feel like I don't know, man, I just know

572
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: Brian has always been against me.

573
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: Just made he's weeding himself.

574
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: But it's like so many videos of like just like

575
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: sometimes it has like the like green and red lights

576
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: that I feel like don't. A lot of drones have

577
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: these lights on them.

578
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 5: Drone just for for the pilot, so that you know

579
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: whitch orientation your drone is in. So usually I think

580
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 5: the I think the red lights on the left, I

581
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 5: can't remember, but it's just so you know which way

582
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 5: your drone is pointing when you're flying it.

583
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: Sure.

584
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, if there s uv size that sounds like some

585
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 5: government ship, I'm.

586
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know what that is, but like, how

587
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: good are people at judging the size of a drone?

588
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: That That's the other thing.

589
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 5: It's like, it's really hard to Like, if you've ever

590
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 5: seen you know, you guys live in l A, you've

591
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 5: seen helicopters strafing your house, I'm sure it's hard to

592
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 5: tell how many hundred feet they are in the air.

593
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 5: Supposed to be about four hundred, but you can swear sometimes.

594
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: This is my argument. Yeah, that like you think they're

595
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: either closer or further away, you think they're a different

596
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: size than they are.

597
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you don't know what it is you're looking at,

598
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 5: it's really hard to tell.

599
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's three potential things happening.

600
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: One, it's just fucking drones.

601
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: People are tripping and it's now causing other people to

602
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: fly their drones to sort of like cash in on

603
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: like the sort of excitement around seeing this shit in

604
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: the sky. Two there it's aliens and they're not telling us. Yeah,

605
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: or three, this is an op. So people stop talking

606
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: about Luigi MANGIONI interesting.

607
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean and look at us. We've opened

608
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: our Monday Morning Trends episodes for the past two weeks

609
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: talking about man. Look at this Google search right here.

610
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: The droves are blue. Luigi Mangoni's red. Yeah, it shot up.

611
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: December tenth is the same.

612
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: It's weird.

613
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: The December tenth there was a simultaneous huge drop off

614
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: in interest, maybe because he was caught, and then that's

615
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: like began like a very sort of sharp rise in

616
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: drone searches.

617
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: So I don't wait, I'm just for Luigi MANGIONI searches

618
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: before he was caught.

619
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think on the day like on

620
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: like when the name came out, like when the name

621
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: came out again, this is But what I do see

622
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: is like I think there's so much talk of the

623
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: drones too that I don't know. I'm this is me

624
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: with my tinfoil gum wrapper.

625
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: Had people just like don't want to think about the

626
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: incoming administration, like so they're looking for a big story

627
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: to like distract themselves with. But I also, yeah, I

628
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: don't know. Like one of the big videos the ABC

629
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: News came through and was like ABC News camera crew

630
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 1: investigate the drone uap UFO phenomenon. We have no idea

631
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: what it is, and they're showing this like like I

632
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: don't know. It looks like a crystal in the sky,

633
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: kind of kind of dope looking, and basically everyone who

634
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: looked at it and has some manner of expertise is like,

635
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: that's Venus. That's the planet. That is the thing you see,

636
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: not the Razor. I know that was my first thought too,

637
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a apparently the razor is named after

638
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: a planet. Okay, I'll buy that, and that's Earth's biggest,

639
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: brightest planet, uh currently you Like, I feel like it's

640
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: the first thing you see at night once once the

641
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: sun starts to go down like this if it's a

642
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: regular drone.

643
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 2: Like there's a story about how like an air force

644
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: base would like shut down for a second to like

645
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 2: monitor the airspace, not like, how do you I'd imagine

646
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: if you were fucking around with a commercial drone, like

647
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: they'd probably like, there's probably a way to hold that

648
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: person to account. But if it isn't, does that indicate

649
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 2: that even the Air Force is like what the fuck

650
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: is this?

651
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 5: Here's the confusing thing to me about this is that

652
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 5: commercial drones have to be registered. Like there's information just

653
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 5: spitting out of them constantly, and you can find out

654
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 5: what the drone is, especially if you're like a military base,

655
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 5: you can find out what it is and possibly who

656
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 5: it belongs to. So it's like, I don't understand the confusion.

657
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 5: Like if the government wants to know what's flying around

658
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 5: in its airspace, they can find out.

659
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: There shouldn't be any mystery.

660
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, so's that's I think that's the weird part.

661
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: That is like attending like they don't know, yeah, or

662
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: they're just doing the government thing of like we don't

663
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: care to disclose that information at this time, and then

664
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, letting a mass hysteria.

665
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 5: And like all the pictures I can find are either

666
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 5: lights in the sky or they are clearly you know,

667
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 5: like a dj I matrise or something like that, just

668
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 5: like a big fucking commercial drone.

669
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: Okay, And I know what a Dji matrisas. But I'm

670
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: glad you clarified that.

671
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 5: For it's like when they move us on like movies,

672
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 5: if you've ever seen like a Netflix documentary, the opening

673
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 5: shot is always a drone shot.

674
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those swoops out. Yeah yeah, yeah.

675
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I I feel like the people

676
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: being like they're just seeing radio towers and the planet

677
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: Venus is like that going on, Yeah exactly that that

678
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: feels like it's just a weather balloon type excuses, Like

679
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: we can't weally dismissive the drone hobbyist suddenly catching drone

680
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: fever because like the like national and international news is

681
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: suddenly all about drone and like they get to be

682
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: a part of like this massive freak out. Like feels

683
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: more logical to me, But I don't know people. I

684
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: just think people really want to believe right now.

685
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 5: Also, like law enforcement has been using drones for uh,

686
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 5: you know, surveillance and you know, kind of like what

687
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: helicopters used to do. I don't know what they're doing

688
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 5: in New Jersey, but I know that, you know, police

689
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 5: departments have a shit ton of money that we give

690
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 5: them and they spend it on goofy ass toys. So

691
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 5: if anyone were to have a fleet of large drones,

692
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 5: I would say it's the police or like firefighters or something.

693
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes that also makes more sense.

694
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 2: I just like the like last week, we're like, that's

695
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 2: radio towers, and now it's just you know what something's up?

696
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, radio towers flying around like that doesn't make any sense.

697
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's definitely. It's it's it's taking up a

698
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: lot of energy and attention.

699
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: And now, like I feel it wasn't.

700
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: I think Larry Hogan or one of the governors of

701
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: a state, like I saw him too, I've seen it.

702
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Larry Hogan. So I don't know. We'll

703
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it, as it seems like everybody

704
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: will it. I am curious. This makes me want to

705
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: go back and look at the Chinese weather balloon story,

706
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: because that was like everyone was like, oh shit, what's happening?

707
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: And then I feel like we never really got closure

708
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: on that. There's probably like a bunch of details on

709
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: that that people just stopped paying attention to no longer

710
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: served them.

711
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 5: Also, there's like six military bases in New Jersey, which

712
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 5: is not a very big state, and I just really should.

713
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: Know what this is. Maybe it's some sort of.

714
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 5: Interagency miscommunication where one is doing a bunch of testing

715
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 5: and the other ones don't know about it.

716
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: Right, entirely possible. I mean that might be like a

717
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: low That is one of the more popular skeptic explanations

718
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: for what's going on.

719
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 3: With you aps.

720
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 5: Right, it's just like it's just drones aren't rare. They're

721
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 5: like you can get them at best Buy. Like this

722
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 5: isn't I don't know why people are anyone can get one.

723
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: This is this is my point, Brian, And you can,

724
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: and somebody with a reasonable with a fireworks display budget

725
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: can do wild shit like light up the sky and like, yeah,

726
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: it's your brain if you, uh, if you aren't familiar

727
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: with how drones can be like programmed with like to

728
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: dance together. So yeah, I'm still highly skeptical of this.

729
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm more skeptical skeptical because I want

730
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 2: the aliens to do cooler shit than this, Like if

731
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 2: they're like, come on, bro, you got red and green lights?

732
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: What the fuck is this?

733
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like the people are so unimaginative when it

734
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 5: comes to alien shit. It's like, oh, they're gonna be

735
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 5: humanoid shaped and they're gonna fly.

736
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: Druns around it.

737
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 5: It's just it's so stupid, Like have some imagination, everybody.

738
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 5: Aliens can be a lot cooler than what you could

739
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 5: think of than us.

740
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: They this podcast right now, whoa, you didn't just do

741
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: that drop dude? That was like that just yawned. I

742
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: just yawned. That's how your yawns. There's also like I

743
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: feel like the media is buying into it and like

744
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: trying to select the information that is going to make

745
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: this the most like intriguing like viral story, Like there's

746
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: a Newsweek article that is being linked as like one

747
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: of the top drone or top drudge stories over the weekend,

748
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: and like their primary source is just somebody in the

749
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: drone industry who's like, I don't know what it is,

750
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: but I bet it's really important and cool. Like they

751
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: like that's legit.

752
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 2: What he says, all right, important and cool.

753
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I don't know. They also mentioned at the end,

754
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: like and they changed like the FAA rules so that

755
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: drones could fly at night back in September twenty twenty three.

756
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: So this might just be the result of people realizing

757
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: that all at once and flying a bunch of drunes

758
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: at night.

759
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 3: For years, you weren't able to.

760
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 5: There were a lot of restrictions and you needed like

761
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 5: a license, special license to fly at night.

762
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 3: But now it's just like open season.

763
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: And yeah, so that's probably what's happening.

764
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 3: Like that you weren't able to fly over people.

765
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: You weren't able to, now you can.

766
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 5: You weren't able to fly over traffic, and now like

767
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 5: drones are flying over people and people are like, what

768
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 5: the fuck.

769
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: It's like, Oh, they just changed a lot. In the

770
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: media in staid there.

771
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 5: Might be a new line of site rule because you

772
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 5: used to have to have clear line of sight to

773
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 5: your drone. But now with all these companies trying to

774
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 5: do like deliveries, it could be a coup too of

775
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 5: testing their fleet.

776
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, but like companies.

777
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 5: Have lobby to be able to fly without being able

778
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 5: to see your drone physically so you can make deliveries

779
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 5: and stuff.

780
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 3: So it could be something like that too. Yeah.

781
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: There's like a Twitter thread that's going viral where a

782
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: guy's like, let me explain what this is. I've like

783
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: worked in this. It's there to measure like nuclear activity

784
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. Radiation, and I mean.

785
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 5: People use it in industry, they're everywhere like that, there's

786
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 5: no need for alarm.

787
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: But he yeah, like the thing that he's pointing, he

788
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: makes it sound somewhat nefarious and then is also like

789
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: you know, referencing. He's like in the big thing that

790
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: you see that people keep referencing. It's like, take, I

791
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: need to see a picture of like this drone that

792
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: is or like a video of this drone that is

793
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: like of a type that we've never seen before, because

794
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: otherwise it's like, I don't know, man, it sounds like drones.

795
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: Like you're looking at anything that.

796
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 3: An SUV size drone? Yeah, anywhere?

797
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for joining us Brian as

798
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: our resident drone expert. We're going to take a quick break.

799
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll talk about some other news.

800
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

801
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're back, and we are in the

802
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: slow creep towards normalization and acceptance and bowing down. Kissing

803
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: of the Ring. We're in the Kissing of the Ring

804
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: segment of the you know coming Trump administration. ABC News

805
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: just settled a defamation case with him for fifteen million

806
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: dollars fifteen million dollars.

807
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: Why is that Because on ABC's Stephanopolis said that he

808
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: was referring to the Egen Carroll case where it said

809
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 2: Trump was found liable for rape and that's like that.

810
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: I remember at the time, he's like, I'm going to

811
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 2: sue you for saying that, blah blah blah, like you

812
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: shouldn't use that word this like and at the time

813
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: it felt like a thing where people are like, ABC

814
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 2: would probably win this case all said and done, like it.

815
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I the you know, we obviously understand this

816
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 2: is Trump's like go to fucking lawsuit move all the time. Yeah,

817
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: but I think more than anything because most people were like, well,

818
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 2: usually journalistic institutions, they stand by it and we'll go

819
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: to trial just on principle this isn't happening, and they're like,

820
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: here's fifteen dollars for your future libraryan museum, and then

821
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry note which I mean. This all just feels

822
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: part of like what Trump has been saying, how he's

823
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 2: like he's taming the media.

824
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: This feels like that's what that is. Its just preemptive.

825
00:45:59,400 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

826
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, we don't want to.

827
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: Get into a lawsuit with someone who's about to be

828
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: president who could maybe do something to us, and we're

829
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 2: going to accept that. That's the world we live in,

830
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: so we will just capitulate. So, yeah, that's the fourth estate, man,

831
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 2: I'll take I'll take the I'll take fourth meal over

832
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 2: the fourth estate.

833
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: At this point, you know they are in competition. Yeah,

834
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: so always live Moss for me. Maybe. There's also this

835
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: article about how basically every important tech billionaire is donating

836
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: at least a million dollars to his inauguration fund, like

837
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: Samuel Altman has, you know, donated a million dollars and

838
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: said President Trump will lead our country into the age

839
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: of AI and I'm eager to to sure America stays ahead. Yes, exactly.

840
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: But you know Mark Zuckerberg, who used to be somebody

841
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: who expressed concerns about Trump's immigration policies during his first presidency.

842
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: Now look he's dressing like fucking Silicon Valley Jack Harlowe

843
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: and shit.

844
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. And he met with Trump over dinner at

845
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: mar a Lago gifted him a pair of metas ray

846
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: band smart glasses. And then back to July, he was

847
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: already sort of yes, exactly, back in July, he was

848
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: already starting to like get on board. He said that

849
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,959
Speaker 1: Trump's reaction of raising his fist in the air after

850
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: the assassination was one of the most badass things I've

851
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life.

852
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 2: It would be the most badass thing you've ever seen

853
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 2: in your life, for sure.

854
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: So tight, dude. And then Jeff Bezos. You know, we

855
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: saw what he did with the endorsement of the Washington Post.

856
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: He's playing to meet with Trump at mar A Lago

857
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 1: next week or I think maybe this week. And at

858
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: the New York Times deal Book Summit. God, how did

859
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: I miss that? Once again? Not invited? We were a

860
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: deal book summit. We were banned. Yeah, well that's it

861
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: wasn't an official band. It's just like they have my

862
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: pictures the entrances.

863
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: Yea, and they said I'm They said I'm banned because

864
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 2: I kept using the bathroom.

865
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: Too much, freaking everybody out. Yeah, well, I had to

866
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: pee a lot of coffee. But they said. He appeared

867
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: optimistic about the new administration and noted that Trump seems

868
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. If

869
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: I can help him do that, I'm going to help him,

870
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: because we do have too much regulation in this country.

871
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, said the guy who's been able to make.

872
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: Said Robert Baron Bezos. Okay, cool, there's one thing I

873
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: do agree with. It's the guardrails to my extraction of wealth.

874
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: Just there's too many of them. Please do away with them.

875
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: The one thing that is not a problem in the

Speaker 1: United States, like, we gotta we gotta work on this. Guys,
