Speaker 1: in there, but I don't know that anything is being accomplished.

44
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,880

Speaker 1: at the box office week over week, which is crazy.

54
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: That just doesn't happen usually it's like forty two fifty. Anyways,

55
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that as a cultural phenomena. We're

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk about a museum that had tons of huge

57
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: cultural artifacts that just went up in flames over the

58
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: weekend in Brazil. We're gonna talk about the New Yorker

Speaker 1: Festival announcing and then probably canceling their interview with Bannon.

60
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: And finally, another right wing cultural outrage freak out, this

61
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: one over a movie that comes out in October that

62
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: doesn't show Neil Armstrong. Actually fuck the moon with the

63
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: American flag. That moon. Yeah, it shows the American flag.

64
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: It's amazing, and you don't see the fucking right it

65
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: doesn't like show insertion because that yeah, there's no penetration

66
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: shot anyways, Jack Keith the Mooney shot shot. I'm gonna go, hey, top,

67
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that is revealing

68
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: about who you are? I recently searched for Charlotte Theater

69
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: because I'm going to Charlotte next weekend and I like

70
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: to see theater. Not many results, it turns out not

71
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot of theater in Charlotte, North Carolina. If you're

72
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: listening to Charlotte and you know of some theater or

73
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: anything else to do while I'm there next weekend, please

74
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: tweet me. They're showing The Lion King. Oh nice, that's

75
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: about it. Okay, that's about it right now. I feel

76
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: like everyone's seen The Lion King. Yeah anyone? Yes, yes,

77
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: the Broadway the musical. I mean, I'm not high flute

78
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: and I don't go to the theater. Guys. I like,

79
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: I like, I like some culture. Like like travel a lot,

80
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: and I like to see theater when I travel as well.

81
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: And I'm actually the reason it's a little revealing about

82
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: me is because the reason that I'm going to Charlotte

83
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: is purely for the mileage. Yes, I need to a

84
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: certain threshold of mileage on a certain airline by the

85
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: end of this year. And there was a very good

86
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: deal to Charlotte. Think it was like a hundred bucks

87
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: or something around trail. And so that's the only reason

88
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: that I'm going. And then I'm gonna try to make

89
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: a weekend. They have food, right, they have internet. Trying

90
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: to keep that one case status, Yeah, exactly, well, not

91
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: not quite one case. I'll take my platinum Zeke Gang.

92
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Let him know what's good in Charlotte. Find me a drink. Yeah,

93
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: there you go. Well, any de Franco was playing there,

94
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: so I might might, I might go see her, although

95
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: they only have standing room seats. When I was when

96
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: I was looking, and I'm too old to stand at

97
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: a concert. I'm too old, I realized, I'm I'm now

98
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: as far as concerts go, I'm too old to sit

99
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: on a sidewalk to wait for tickets, which I guess

100
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: you don't even have to do anymore back in my day,

101
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: and you know, wait till ticket Master. Now you can

102
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: just pay something. And I'm and I'm too old to

103
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: stand at a concert. Yeah, and you'll get crushed in

104
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: that h that's right, that Franco heads. You just get

105
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: one of those canes that acts as a stool a

106
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: lot of you know what. I actually have one that

107
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: was my grandmother's in my garage. But it weighs. It

108
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: weighs like thirty pounds, So yeah, I don't like. It's

109
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit that was before like alloys,

110
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: so it's just like it was just like wrought iron.

111
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe I will, but I but again, I

112
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: think the only worst thing than standing at a concert

113
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: is sitting at a concert where everybody else is standing.

114
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's gonna work out. But

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: somebody listening has to be able to hook a brother up.

116
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah they will. Where can they find you? Just on Twitter?

117
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: Just in charge, somebody who doesn't at Jay Underscore Keith

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: j Underscore, you're also going to learn that at the end,

119
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: But just in case you if you don't listen all

120
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: the way to the end. This man needs to know

121
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: some chart. They're probably people burning right now. They've been like,

122
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just do it right now. If you're North Carolina,

123
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: is I can pause right now and you give that's right.

124
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: NASCAR is off that week the Panthers are playing. But

125
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: I realized I've not watched NFL football on TV and

126
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: fear so I don't know financially need to go in person,

127
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, I would go. I'm not any sporting event

128
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: for free, but you know again, invite me. Hooked me up?

129
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how how bad a guy could I be?

130
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to Charlotte. My first instinct was to see

131
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: what theater was playing, and I'm interested in seeing any

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: different hang out with me. Guys, would you go to

133
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: like a high school theater? It depends what it is.

134
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: If it's a yeah, sure, why not. I will see

135
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: There's a there's a musical called Next to Normal that

136
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with, and I will literally see any production

137
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Next to Normal that I can go to. I've gone

138
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: internationally to see. Next I went. I went to Toronto

139
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to see the final night of the tour. I went

140
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: to Buenos Aires to see a special reunion concert I recently.

141
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: You think that was something I went to see Me

Speaker 1: is overrated Veno? I do not. I do not understand

151
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: the big appeal with Venmo. I I have needs to

152
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: send and receive payments. I am able to do that

153
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: with PayPal, which I learned recently owns Venmo. I don't

154
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: know why they have to have a PayPal junior PayPal

155
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: for the millennials. You can do with the Square cash app.

156
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: You can do now with zel on pretty much any

157
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: bank account. Cash also works. Yeah, Apple Pay, Android Pay.

158
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: There's so many things, and all of those except Venmo.

159
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: Keep your business private. Yeah, and I don't want to

160
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: know other people's business. They're like, hey, you don't want

161
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: to use an emoji? To tell people I hate they

162
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: bought your cialis. Again, I hate it, and uh and

163
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy, but generally I'm not terribly opposed, especially

164
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: sort of ironically for humor to use technology terms as

165
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: a verb, you know, to google something or too, I'll facebook.

166
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: People don't say that there's something there's something that does

167
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: rub me the wrong way. But why don't you Venmo?

168
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: Men doesn't It doesn't vend me. They should call it

169
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: vend mend me something. How about that you pay me?

170
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: How about there's your next app million dollar idea? Right yeah,

171
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And also it takes a little It seems

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: to take longer to get your money or or from

173
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: Venmo than than other places. And then there's all sorts

174
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: of different fees and all that. And also, but more so,

175
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: it's it's completely superfluous. I got enough, I can believe me.

176
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: There's plenty ways to pay me, and I love receiving money.

177
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. If anyone's listening and wants to

178
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: vend moo me money, I was gladly so. The social

179
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: aspect of it is like people doing jokey explanations for

180
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: their payments, right, yeah, I only use emojis right to

181
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: describe anything. And I actually I never I seldom put

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: my activity like public right, like fuck you, And it's

183
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: always the egg plan emoji right, it's always square water

184
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: peach and the big tongue coming out. Well, this guy

185
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: loves vegetables. Am I right? What is something that's underage underrated?

186
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: I'm going to say the post office or the general

187
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: the US Postal Service. I still think it is a

188
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: miracle that you can pay less than a dollar, put

189
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: an envelope in a box, and it will go anywhere

190
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: you want in the country. You can go across the street,

191
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: it can go to a know, very hard to get

192
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: to rural mountain location. It's a cliche, but you know, rain, sleet, snow,

193
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: hail dogs, whatever their mottoism, they get it there. I

194
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 1: still think it's a miracle. And and also, what's the

195
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? You know, you're gonna pay

196
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: FedEx or ups thirty bucks, You're gonna gonna get on

197
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: a plane and bring your letters somewhere else? You you

198
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: the USPS gets a lot of ship from a lot

199
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: of people, and especially a lot of the current government folk.

200
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: But it's a miracle then a bad deal. It works

201
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: well they had a bad deal with Amazon. Yeah, I

202
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: ripped us, that's right. They somehow agreed to be paid

203
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: to do a service. Yeah, yeah, somebody who somebody was

204
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: just talking about the idea that when you go out

205
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: to eat in America, you aren't scared that you're going

206
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: to you know, be sick for the next three days.

207
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: And that's a miracle of the government of government regulations,

208
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: regulations exactly. But what's we completely take it for granted.

209
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: And I feel like the post offices absolutely, and also

210
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: they have agreements with post offices around the world to

211
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: get your letter even even further further. But we only

212
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: think about it. There's something about the where our brand

213
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: works that we all think about it when it sucks up. Absolutely,

214
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: And I do think I've wanted it to learn this

215
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: from an economist at some point. But because I do

216
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: think they do charge too little, I would rather they

217
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: charge a dollar just move make it to a dollar

218
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: for for a regular stamp, and then use the money

219
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: to actually upgrade everything so that when something by the

220
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: time something shouldn't cost a dollar to send, they're ready

221
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: for it. And also and if it makes people send

222
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: fewer letters than fine, and then you prioritize BECAUSEFF gets

223
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: there sooner there you go. But also they have this

224
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: new thing called i think it's called informed delivery. I've

225
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: got to say informed consent. That mean I do believe

226
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: that also was part of their policy where you can

227
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: actually they will actually scan your mail for you and

228
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: email it to you before it's delivered, so you know

229
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: what's coming. So especially if you have like a PO box,

230
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: or if you just or if you're out of town,

231
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: you want to know what mails arrived at your at

232
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: your home, they will they will scan the envelopes and

233
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: you'll see what mail is coming. So if you if

234
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: there's something important you need to you know, have a

235
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: neighbor pickup, or you gotta go get yourself. You know,

236
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: they're they're they're not just a delivering paper. I mean

237
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: they're there and they do that technology before, like right

238
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: before it gets to you. It might I'd be interested

239
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: if they did that like right when the mail got

240
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: put in the because like like Amazon delivers a package

241
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: and they'll like send a picture of the box outside

242
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: of your door. Yeah or or no, I mean like

243
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: before like on the senders and like the second you

244
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: give it to them. Because so if it gets lost

245
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: you have or you could just say, you know what,

246
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: don't bother. I don't like that, right right? Uh? And finally,

247
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: what does a myth? What's something people think is true? This,

248
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: this will go back, will circle back to something I

249
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: was talking about earlier. But I think there's a myth

250
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: that there's no theater or for general high culture in

251
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and I've lived here for over thirty years

252
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's completely untrue. It is harder to find.

253
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously it's a cliche to compared

254
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: New York and l A. I think l A has

255
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: all the culture that New York has, you just have

256
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: to go look for it. So there's tons of great

257
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: small theaters. There's you know, obviously anything that's big and touring.

258
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: We get either you know, the Pantageous or the taper

259
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: Amands and all that kind of stuff. But I think

260
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: people think like, oh, it's just actors showcases, you know,

261
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: soap opera actors doing stuff for agents. I'm sure there's

262
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: some of that, but there's good legitimate theater both uh,

263
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of stuff that that originated here as well,

264
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: and especially if you expand beyond theater you're looking at art.

265
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: We've got you know, the broad now is I think

266
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: a jewel of the place. You got your you know,

267
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: everything downtown with it, Disney Hall, Lack, Mimoka and all that.

268
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of great art and real culture. And

269
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: then yes, plenty of crap, plenty of shows crap and

270
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: teach charities and all that stuff. But I think there's

271
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: really interesting. Oh my god, of course. Yeah, no, you're

272
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: off Broadway. Yeahs um yeah. I've read old articles from

273
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: the New York Times in the New York or at

274
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: the l A culture scene, but recently they've like updated

275
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: that been like remember when we used to be able

276
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: to laugh at l A and now they're like cooler

277
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: than us. Everybody moves out there. But but really interesting

278
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: stuff there. Shout out a couple of theaters. The Bootleg

279
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: does great stuff as a place called the Rogue Machine Theater.

280
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Always just really interesting original works and it's out there

281
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: if you guys want to see it, folks, and what's

282
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: cheaper than in New York. I've never seen a production

283
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: at the Bootleg. Only music the Bootleg. Yeah, yeah, it's

284
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: a great space. They do really interesting I think I'm

285
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: doing a storytelling show sometime next month we'll find out.

286
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: All right, very cool and one of the most organic

287
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: plugs we've ever gotten on this show. I mean, I

288
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe maybe you can you established yourself as

289
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: like pro culture, pro l a culture. He likes that. Maybe, yeah,

290
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, or maybe you're just a simple person with

291
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: baste taste, which is also welcome at my show. If

292
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: you go to the bootleg though, too. There's an amazing

293
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: taco truck on the corner, just like walking distance on

294
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: the block. So another reason. So yeah, uh so big

295
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: story from over the weekend. Colin Kaepernick is now the

296
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: face of the thirtieth anniversary of the Just Do It Campaign.

297
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: We were all all on the edge of our seat

298
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: being like, who are they going to choose for this campaign? No, no,

299
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: we were not. I didn't know that it was the

300
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: thirtieth anniversary. I guess I didn't know. But you know,

301
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: it's cool that they're siding with Colin Kaepernick instead of

302
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: the evil NFL owners who are you know who pay

303
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: them to make all of the uniforms right team? Yeah,

304
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. They are still a you know,

305
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: giant corporation that has all sorts of problematic things going on.

306
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: But you know, in terms of taking aside in the

307
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: cultural war, I think it's been fun to see the

308
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: response from the right man, so many people, so unpredictable.

309
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: I never never would thought they would burn their shoes, right, uh, yeah,

310
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: after they burned their other Nike equipment. I feel like

311
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: Nike when they were like burning their Nike NFL jerseys

312
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: was like, all right, motherfucker's you've started a fight. I

313
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: guess what, asshole, We just real to deal with the

314
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: NFL for eight more case old jerseys from like the

315
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: early two thousands. So yeah, I mean Fox News was

316
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: not happy. Tucker Carlson is describing this as an attack

317
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: against America, and I think we have audio. It's pretty decadent, actually,

318
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, first of all, it's factually ludicrous.

319
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: You can't give up everything and maintain a Nike contract.

320
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: But the decadent part isn't even really about Colin Kaepernick.

321
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: He's an athlete at a young guy. You know, I

322
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: would give him a pass. Actually, on a lot of this,

323
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: it's the executives profiting from him and his attacks on

324
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: the United States while simultaneously denying that they are attacks

325
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: on the United States. So they're saying, you know, he

326
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: raised the issue of racial discrimination in this country, so

327
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: if it's never been raised before, or as if you know,

328
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: the historical problems with that aren't obvious to every single American.

329
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: Of course they are. This is an attack on the country.

330
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: So it would be very different if he were saying

331
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm protesting this politician or this policy, or this specific

332
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: person this specific thing did. But sitting during the national

333
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: anthem is a way of making a broad based, generalized

334
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: and therefore impossible to rebut attack against the country that

335
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: made him and Nike rich. And again, there's something really

336
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: definitive about that. When the most successful people in your

337
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: society hate the society, you've got a real problem. It's

338
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: a metaphor for our entire ruling class, many of whom

339
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: feel that way. They hate and resent the very system

340
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: that made their prosperity, their success possible. It's a huge

341
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: problem for all of us. The the amount of work

342
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: there he's doing to contort himself so that his position

343
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: of siding with NFL owners is the like is him

344
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: sticking up for the underdog? Is amazing. Boy, they do

345
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: not like when black people have opinions. Huh, I mean

346
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: this is they called is a fucking attack on America.

347
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: He's exercising he is right to bring awareness to systemic races.

348
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: You have to be willfully ignorant, which I would not

349
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: put past anyone there to not know what he's protest,

350
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: like to say that there's no there, there's nothing, there's

351
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: no topic, or yes, there's not a specific person, Yes

352
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: there's not a specific whatever, it's a politician. But it's

353
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: so clear that there's a cause. Whether you agree with

354
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: it or not, whether you want to attend to it

355
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: or not, there's a cause. How do you not see that? Well,

356
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: that's the only way they can avoid talking about it

357
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: is by saying, well, I don't want to engage him

358
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: on the basis of him bringing up, you know, the

359
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: violence towards people of color from police or whatever. That

360
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: is just like, well, because it is attack the troops.

361
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: It's just his country, right, Like just be like, if

362
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: you're really gonna look like some sane person or be

363
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: a social critic, why don't you then engage him on

364
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: the idea of what And I know it's not the

365
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: biggest point, but the fact that he said he's sitting

366
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: during the national anthem where it's so obviously he's kneeling

367
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: because you know, because he chose to kneel based on talking,

368
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, with with someone in the armed forces, so

369
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: that was more respectable. Is again it's willfully ignorant. It's

370
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: it's it's trying, it's ignoring any any truth of of

371
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: the issue. And but but I have to say, there

372
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: is something that doesn't quite feel right. There's something there

373
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: does seem something a little bit exploitative that I that

374
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: I guess I would agree with a little bit. Uh

375
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: that like, yes, it's certainly better than saying you know,

376
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: pro NFL or pro you know, or or or going

377
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: with this whole you know, he's disrespecting the America or

378
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: the troop could have shown J. J. Watt like putting

379
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: his hand over his heart like during the national anthem

380
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: and made that the face of their thirty it's not

381
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: a bad guy. Sorry, I don't mean to imply that. Yeah,

382
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: but there is something that does feel a little weird

383
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: of co opting a cause, you know, And but but

384
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, Nike has done this before, and other big

385
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: companies do this all the time, and again, you'd rather

386
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: have it be on the what we think is the

387
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: correct side of the issue or not. The answered all

388
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: those questions with what corporations are going to do is

389
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: always for profits, so that like it is more profitable.

390
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: So on one hand, I totally see it's like, okay,

391
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: nice as you're doing, but also that it's better to

392
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: be on the right side, and especially when it's actually

393
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: a real issue. It's not like, you know, after nine

394
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: eleven and Budweiser, you know, running you know, ads with

395
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: the American flags and supporting the troops and all that.

396
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it is something that obviously

397
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: is gonna get a big response. But but on the

398
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: other hand, it's like this also means that Colin Kaepernick

399
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: is getting paid, which well, it's not being paid for

400
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: making for for making football for what do you go

401
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: up with the sports in the running making making football plays?

402
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: He did not finish my sentence. Uh, it's not for

403
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: playing football, like he is being paid for being an

404
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: athlete and an activist. And you know that I'd rather

405
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: have that happen than not happen. And uh again I

406
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: think it will put it back in the conversation. Uh,

407
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: but obviously, yes, of course, of course this was not

408
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: an uncalculated move where they you know, they figured all

409
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: the free publicity are getting. I mean, how much usually

410
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: would you charge Nike to to have a discussion this

411
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: long on your podcast, right? I mean that's billions right there,

412
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: one exactly, all the free publicity that they're getting. You know,

413
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: they're they're they're no dummies over there, right. Yeah. I

414
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: was just gonna say, I mean, the fact that they

415
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: made this decision, you know, their motives were probably purely

416
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: profit related, but the fact that they looked at the

417
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: issue and said, Okay, this is what's going to make

418
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: us the most money, I do think is a sign

419
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: that at least the right side is winning, because I mean,

420
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: they wouldn't do that without doing tons and tons of

421
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: market research. And you know, they looked at the people

422
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: who are going to be behind this decision. They looked

423
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: at the people who are going to cut their socks up.

424
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: That guy who cut his socks up, that'll learn them

425
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: what the funk was he cutting? At a point on

426
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: Want Cat, the guy was saying like, yeah, because walking

427
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: with jaggedass socks isn't gonna leave someone a go, Hey,

428
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: what happened in your socks? And they'll be like, oh,

429
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: you know Nike because blah blah blah. It's like you're

430
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: you're already inviting more discussion about names from as. I

431
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: kind of feel bad for the for the sock cutters though,

432
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they are pretty powerless, Like what

433
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: can you do as a consumer? Were like, let's let's

434
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: say let's say you do legit imminently, you know, believe

435
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: that that issue. It's like, your your kind of powerless.

436
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? You start a hashtag pig socks,

437
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: which is the most confusing hashtag. Well, there's this other

438
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: thing to remember, like when Curig pulled their advertising on

439
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: certain Fox shows, or like we're throwing our Curig machines

440
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: out and people are saying like, if you really want

441
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: to suck them over, take your item and then sell that.

442
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: So then you are getting the profits from that by

443
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: destroying something, they've already collected your money, right, and that

444
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: you're not doing anything, and that means someone is less

445
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: likely to buy a new one because I buy that one.

446
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: But there is a myth on the right that the

447
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: right is trying desperately to perpetrate that, you know, going

448
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: against their beliefs. Going against conservative what supremacist politics is

449
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: dangerous for businesses, and you know, they are focused on.

450
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: One of the headlines on Drudge this weekend was NFL

451
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: ratings expected to go down again this year, which would

452
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: have been true whether or not there was this controversy

453
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: because NFL ratings, along with all TV ratings, have been

454
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: going down pretty steadily on average, Like when you look

455
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: at the mean, they've all been going down because more

456
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: and more things are on streaming and uh, you know,

457
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: you can play video games. There's just all sorts of

458
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: reasons TV ratings are going down, but they want to

459
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: focus on that because you know, we'll talk a little

460
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: bit later. But they are the smaller group in a

461
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: cultural landscape where they're having to, you know, do a

462
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: lot of work and a lot of contorting to make

463
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: themselves seem a relevant and important and you know, like

464
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: they are the underdog. I guess, yeah, always the victim,

465
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: always the victim. Um, well, you know who might not

466
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: be the underdog is that this fall some Democrats. Yeah,

467
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: and that's what we call the Gray pivot. And uh no,

468
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: we were just talking about. I know that NBC and

469
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: the Washington Post just put out a poll that has

470
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: Democrats up fourteen points on the generic ballot, which is

471
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: pretty big. But you know, let's everyone just go vote

472
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: and you know, contribute to a campaign anyway. You can

473
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: go canvas, go for She's saying that we just can't

474
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: take for granted what a poll says. Yeah, I'm literally

475
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: gonna be like walking people to the fucking like, I

476
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: don't care even though this race is a lock. You

477
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: have to get out there, do not take anything for granted.

478
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: And it's still not a lock. Five thirty eight now

479
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: has adjusted their you know calculation, taking all of them,

480
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: like that poll and all other polls into account. They

481
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: still have it as four in five, So that's they've

482
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: gone from three and four. So seventy five to eight percent.

483
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: That's still you know, one in five, still election five

484
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: times and somebody the wrong person wins once. That's that's

485
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: not nothing, guys. Yeah that's still huge. So uh, it's

486
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: still important. I think it's still not high enough, but

487
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to get to the place

488
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: that a lot of people thought the Trump election was.

489
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: Like the day of the election, five thirty eight had

490
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: it at three and four. So this is currently more

491
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: tilted towards Democrats than thought the Clinton Trump race was.

492
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: But it's still a pretty significant chance that the Democrats

493
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: don't win. And the odds at that time were the

494
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: same about the Cubs winning the World Series. The Cubs,

495
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: we're supposed to win the World Series and they did,

496
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: so just keep that in mind. It can happen, Yes,

497
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: it can't happen. Well, yeah, the thing is. The Cook

498
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: Political Report also nudged a few races to slightly favored

499
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Democrats and some Senate races, which is also kind of

500
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: big because they were looking at sort of just Trump

501
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: has lost the most ground since his inauguration in Arizona, Florida,

502
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: North Dakota, Wisconsin, in Michigan, and so you know, there

503
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: are a couple of reasons like, oh this maybe this

504
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: can be this might lean democratic now or likely be democratic,

505
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: or going from solidly republic into only leaning Republicans. So

506
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're I don't think there's a high chance

507
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: of the Senate going to the Democrats, but still, you

508
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: know a good sign that there's momentum moving in one direction.

509
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: But again, poles, Poles don't decide elections. Voting does. And

510
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: also someone tweeted a thing about how like better or Rourke,

511
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: They're like, Oh, at his town hall, three hund people

512
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: showed up at this one, five people showed up at

513
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: this one. At his like grassroots headquarters to do canvasing,

514
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: zero people showed up. So that's the thing, you know.

515
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I know it's fun to go and feel the energy

516
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: of a campaign or whatever, but really use your interest

517
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: to translate that into doing something for the CAMPAI said

518
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: that because I actually been thinking about that. I am

519
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: going to go to Texas and do some canvasing. Oh nice, Yeah, yeah,

520
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: I gotta see how many more more miles I need.

521
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: Did you like do that putting thing that that one

522
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: dude did? No, no, no, that was long gone by that,

523
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: But I have done similar. You are making the system

524
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: work for you, exam, and I appreciate that. That's what

525
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: I do. All Right, We're gonna take a quick break.

526
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. And the Kavanaugh

527
00:26:54,520 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: hearings are currently taking place this morning. There was were

528
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: wating this on Tuesday. This morning, there was a lot

529
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: of people protesting and screaming and disrupting things, and the

530
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: headline was like chaos at Kavanaugh hearing. But the Republicans

531
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: are completely in charge, and the chairman is like, yeah,

532
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay here as long as it takes. We're

533
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: going to get this done. It really seems we had

534
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: talked in the past about the fact that Kavanaugh is

535
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: historically unpopular. He's less popular than previous Supreme Court nominees

536
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: who didn't get confirmed. But that doesn't change the fact

537
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: that the Republicans are going to vote straight down party lines.

538
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were counting on Susan

539
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: Collins to vote against him because of the risk to

540
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: a woman's right to choose, and it has come out

541
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: that he was on a list that Susan Collins preapproved

542
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: of Supreme Court nominee, so she's already like she's just

543
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: that's a foregone conclusion. Yeah, that's why today was a

544
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: lot of theatrics and not much of anything of so ebstance,

545
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: aside from you know, suddenly like people like Corey Booker

546
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris like they were saying great stuff, Sheldon

547
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: white House that they were getting they were getting campaign footage.

548
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they're getting campaign commercial and it's just standing

549
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: up to Republicans in the impotence that they're in right,

550
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: and at this point it's too little, too late. And

551
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: I was reading a few things people had a point of,

552
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 1: like if they really felt this whole thing was a

553
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: joke because it was just a sham from the beginning,

554
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: and that senators weren't able to review the entirety of

555
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: like the government documents that Breck have not had a

556
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: hand in or touched during his time with the White House.

557
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: That yeah, this thing was just it's just a foregone conclusion.

558
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter what we do. Then leave, then

559
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: don't be in there. Let the Republicans be in there.

560
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: I think they can show something more because other than this,

561
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: this is just a lot of empty calories. I'm not

562
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: I get that the stalling and the grandstanding has an effect,

563
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: but I don't see how this is going to lead

564
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: to anything other than him likely being confirmed as a supreence.

565
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it will change anything anything in terms of, yeah,

566
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: the confirmation, but I don't know about the optics of

567
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: actually not showing up. I feel like that's that's easy

568
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: for an opponent to say, you know, you've got to participate,

569
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: even if you know in a primary, maybe to say

570
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, I would stay in fight. I'm not going

571
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: to give up on my constituents or something. Yeah, I

572
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: mean I'm not. I'm not just giving, But this gives

573
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: an appearance there is no fight though. This is only

574
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: the appearance of a fight, right And and I think

575
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: that's disingenuous to even present this entire confirmation process as

576
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: anything but a thing that was scammed from by the

577
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: Republicans to obscure whatever his documentary. I think all that's terrible.

578
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I think there's something to be

579
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: said for going on the record. Make you make a statement,

580
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: it gets on the record. Uh, the Kavina makes a

581
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: dumb decision later and you can say, look, I said

582
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: that on the record that now and then just be like, well,

583
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, because it's just a shame. Because you

584
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: can even hear the amount of protesters that were screaming

585
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: during that hearing, that people understand what the stakes are

586
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: like and how the way that you know he's likely

587
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: to vote on very important decisions is it's frightening to

588
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: the people so much that they have shown up and

589
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: they're raising their voices and you can really tell that

590
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: there's just this deep fear about as companies will just

591
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: do their tactic of losing in lower courts and just

592
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: appealing all the way up to the Supreme Court to

593
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: get their you know, final decision from their protectors in

594
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. It's just yeah, I don't know. It

595
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: was a very eerie sort of thing where you could

596
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: hear these people screaming and there it was. It was

597
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: like echoing and yeah, and it was like there you

598
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: could just hear their existential dread like from a lot

599
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: of things they were doing. But you gotta take that,

600
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, further up the pipeline. It's like, you gotta

601
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: that's why elections matter. Yeah, that's exactly right. You gotta

602
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: work for you gotta work to get the people elected

603
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: who are gonna challenge that and or not nominate people

604
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: like that in the first place. Yeah. I mean, there's

605
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: been an unprecedented breakdown in the decorum from the Republican

606
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: side in terms of just being like, yeah, that's not

607
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: how this works anymore. We don't give a ship what

608
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: you say, and we're going to steamroll through this. And

609
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: that's why we're able to say, even though this guy

610
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: is unpopular and unprecedented, way, he's still going to get

611
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: through and I do feel like maybe this is a

612
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: chance for the Democrats to dramatize that breakdown and decorum

613
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: from their side on the floor as opposed to sitting

614
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: it out, and maybe also like rally the troops. But

615
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: as long as they're acknowledging, you know, this is on us,

616
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: like we fucked up, We lost a bunch of elections.

617
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: We were not in the nuclear option on the filibuster

618
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: for this because we don't we I I just don't

619
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: want them to whatever they're doing to disrupt this process,

620
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: and I think they should be doing unprecedented things to

621
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: disrupt it because it is an unprecedented you know, fuck

622
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: you from the Republican side. But they still need to

623
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: acknowledge that, like by playing by the rules, the Republicans

624
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: sort of beat them. It would be nice if at

625
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: least one Republican said, I acknowledge that there are people

626
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: who don't like this, and you know, let's give them

627
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: a chance. We didn't hear me started, you know what

628
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean. So that's what I mean, Like there, it's

629
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: not even a fucking game. You know, they won a

630
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: game presupposes there are rules and this is just brute force,

631
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: like just fuckory you know, so it's hard to That's

632
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: why I like the tactics of when there are rules

633
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: in place can work at times. But we're looking at

634
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: something so so different, so beyond what's normal that like, Yeah,

635
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, aside from just people trying to scream

636
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: and yell at their healthcare is at stake, or their

637
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: rights as being in the same sex marriages at steak

638
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, reproductive rights. I wish we could

639
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: have done more. I wish I wish the Democrats could

640
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: have done more. But we're looking down the barrel of

641
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: a new Supreme Court justice in Breck Havita. So speaking

642
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: of things that aren't normal. So book fear By Woodward

643
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: is out Bob Woodward, and it's just full of mind

644
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: blowing details with regards to the Trump White House. So

645
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: let's just take a look at a couple. There are

646
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: so many there's just so much stuff in here. I'm

647
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: just gonna pull quotes from the Watch and Post article

648
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: because they were the ones who had access to the book,

649
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: because Woodward is obviously a Washington Post reporter. They talk

650
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: about Trump sitting down to a mock interview of like

651
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: what the questions Mueller would ask him and how he

652
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: would perform. So his lawyer, Dowd peppered Trump with questions

653
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: about the Russian investigation and kept provoking stumbles, contradictions, and

654
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: lies until the President eventually lost his cool shouted this

655
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: things that goddamn hoax, and at the start of a

656
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: thirty minute rant that finished with him saying, I don't

657
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 1: really want to testify, right. So the next part of that,

658
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: when they say that Jay Sekulo and John Dowd went

659
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: to Mueller's office to talk about like why they probably

660
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: don't want him to interview, is amazing because he's saying,

661
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit there and let him look

662
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: like an idiot. And you published that transcript because everything

663
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: leaks in Washington and the guy's overseas are going to

664
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: say I told you he was an idiot. I told

665
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: you was a goddamn dumbell. What are we dealing with

666
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: this idiot? For? John, I understand, Mueller replied, so like, no,

667
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I get why you wouldn't want this guy,

668
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: but sorry, them's the rules. And Woodward is the guy

669
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: who brought down Nixon through Watergate and his investigation to Watergate,

670
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: so it's important Dick like this is somebody who has

671
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: some you know, frame of reference of like how a

672
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: corrupt and fucked up White House operates. So he also

673
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,479
Speaker 1: there's a story about how John Kelly would frequently lose

674
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: his temper and told colleagues that he thought the president

675
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 1: was quote unhinged, and one small group meeting, Kelly said

676
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: of Trump, quote he's an idiot. It's pointless to try

677
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: to convince him of anything. He's gone off the rails.

678
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: We're in crazy town. I don't even know why any

679
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: of us are here. This is the worst job I've

680
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: ever had and end quote Wow. And just just to

681
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: be clear again, this isn't out like a taco bell

682
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: in Topeka, this is this is the White House, this

683
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: is this is John Kelly, Like, this is the worst job.

684
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: I hate it. Do you resign? Who care? I mean,

685
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: he's already took He's already shown himself to be a

686
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: disgrace too, So I don't think you know, John, go

687
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: do yourself a favor too, And why don't you resign

688
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: because it's not like you're the winner. Was like, oh,

689
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: he's the one holding it all together. Even I don't

690
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: know though, who the funk would come in and run things.

691
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman like, what would it look like like? We

692
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: would we all just be I don't know. I just

693
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: don't know who we want in that role, because it

694
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: has to be someone that Trump respects, anyone who would

695
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: want it. But it even sounds like John Kelly can't

696
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: even get him. So it's not like there's anyone actually

697
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: keeping it together. John Kelly's like he doesn't even live.

698
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: What's the fucking point. Yeah, No, he's being there anyway,

699
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: very frustrated. In terms of how Trump thinks about the

700
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: people around him, the book says that he does an

701
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: impression of General hr McMaster behind his back, puffing up

702
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: his chest and exaggerating his breathing as he impersonates him,

703
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: and he wants that McMaster dresses like a beer salesman

704
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: because he doesn't doesn't wear expensive suits. And he's called

705
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: Attorney General Jeff Sessions a trader, complained, everyone's trying to

706
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: get me, and also called Sessions quote mentally retarded. He said,

707
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: this guy is mentally retarded. He's this dumb Southerner. He

708
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: couldn't even be a one person country lawyer down in Alabama. Yeah,

709
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: and who picked him again for exactly the other thing

710
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: about Wilbur Ross, he said, like Trump, Trump told Commerce

711
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Secretary Wilbur Ross, who actually looks like a person who's

712
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: rotting from greed inside. Uh, he said Trump, he's the

713
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: guy who lied to Forbes, right, Yeah, and who I

714
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: think we talked about. Yeah, how his lies about being

715
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: a billionaire to try and get the Forbes. Listen, he's

716
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: actually one of the biggest criminals in that administration, but

717
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: he's been so stealth about it. He's not like the

718
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: Scott pru with Ilk of just doing it out in

719
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: the open. Anyway, he told Wilbur Ross, who's like older

720
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: than him, goes, I don't trust you. I don't want

721
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: you doing any more negotiations, your past your prime, which

722
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: I think that makes sense. But again, these are the

723
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: people that you're the other people. The other amazing one

724
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: you said, read the one about Gary Cone like stealing

725
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: stuff off his desk. So okay, So Gary Cone has

726
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: basically because this dude is so you know, mentally not

727
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: there all the time. There was a thing he said,

728
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: according to Woodward, this is in the wetch Post thing

729
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: he said, quote stole a letter off Trump's desk, end

730
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: quote that the president was intending to sign to formally

731
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: withdraw the United States from a trade agreement with South Korea.

732
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: Cone later told an associate that he removed the letter

733
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: to protect national security and that Trump did not notice

734
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: that it was missing. And then CNN also report on

735
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: this more and from Cone, it said I stole it

736
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: off his desk. Cone told an associate, I wouldn't let

737
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: him see it, and he's never going to see that document.

738
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: Got to protect the country. So that's how we're doing.

739
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: It's just like you know, and the real the desk. Yeah,

740
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: here's an anecdote about why they might be worried about

741
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: national security with him in charge. The president wants fun

742
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: Defense Secretary James Maddis and said, let's fucking kill him.

743
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: After Syrian leader Bishar al Assad launched a chemical attack

744
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: on civilians, let's go in. Let's kill the fucking a

745
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: lot of them. Trump said, uh, and yeah, they were

746
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: like okay. So so that's not how this works. That's

747
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: against international law. Um. The way this was reported is

748
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: because he basically was granted interviews by people who were

749
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: familiar with the situation on the condition of what's called

750
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: deep background, which means that he can write what they

751
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: tell him he just couldn't reveal the particular sources. But

752
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: he he's like, this was a person who was there

753
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: and saw this. This is not like hearsay. This is

754
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: like direct reporting. I'm just not allowed to say all

755
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: anonymous sources were made up though, Yeah, be careful. So

756
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: whatever this anonymous sources that he needs to go to jail.

757
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't know who this guy is. Can we go

758
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: back to the beer salesman thing? What does the how

759
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: does a beer salesman dress? And how would Donald Trump

760
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: know how would be a salesman dress? He doesn't drink,

761
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't pay people. Yeah, profession like a door to

762
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: door because you think he's thinking of a time when

763
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: he's still engaged with the normal world. So like in

764
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: the sixties where their door to door beer imagining, like

765
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: one of those kids trying to raise money for like

766
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: they're like a softball field trip right right, Man, my

767
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: name is beer. This core is light. Yeah. We have

768
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: either Hershey's chocolate, giant pieces, whatever you want. Man, I'm

769
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: playing that beer. I'm buying that beer. Yeah. A lot

770
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 1: of these like sort of excerpts are jests, but also

771
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: Trump suits are terrible. Doesn't dress well, he doesn't. His

772
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: clothes aren't well tailor, has got these super long jackets

773
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: and still look terrible. He does seem to have a

774
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: double standard with regards to other people and himself. Sure,

775
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: I've noticed. I don't know, that's just trademark. One last

776
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: one about Ivanka, though, I bet I really like, is

777
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: that there's an interaction with her and Steve Banny. He goes,

778
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: you're a goddamn staffer. Abandon screamed at her, telling her

779
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: that she had to work through previous like the other aids.

780
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: Quote you walk around this place and act like you're

781
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: in charge and you're not. You're on staff end quote.

782
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: Ivanka Trump, who had special actually the president and worked

783
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: around previous, replied quote, I'm not a staffer. I'll never

784
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: be a staffer. I'm the first daughter. First daughter is

785
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: not a thing. That's a movie. Yeah, that's a movie

786
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 1: in which with sin Dad, I think the first kid,

787
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: the first kid falls in love with. Okay, first kid

788
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: is not the one I'm thinking, but he was also

789
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: first daughter or something where the premises that the first

790
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: daughter falls in love I think with a secret service agent.

791
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: I feel like Hillary needs to be involved somehow. I

792
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: was thinking Katie Holmes, but it could be you know,

793
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: Katie Holmes isn't first daughter a college of the group

794
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: of secret service agents. Samantha, however, resents their presence and

795
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: decides she wants to attend school just like a normal student.

796
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: So that's what she was trying to associate herself with.

797
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: She saw that movie and it was like, I'm sorry,

798
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: do you know who directed that movie? Uh? Forrest Whitaker.

799
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: Oh wow? What fuck? He was like, this is gonna

800
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: be my brave heart, this is gonna be my breakthrough.

801
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: What just and looking at like googling and it's like

802
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: director of Forest Whittaker. Yeah. This is my theory that

803
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: really great actors don't make good directors, because it's like

804
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan coaching an NBA team. It's like he's just like, well,

805
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: why don't you just score? Right? Fucking score, idiot? And

806
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: whereas like people like Ben Affleck and Mel Gibson, who

807
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: aren't great actors but they know how to look good

808
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: in movies, end up being decent directors. And Clint Eastwood,

809
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: he's just like a handsome dude who like knows how

810
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: to like what angle to look at the camera with. Anyways,

811
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: we're going to take another quick break and we're going

812
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: to be right back, and we're back, and we'll get

813
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: some audio for a future episode. But there is a

814
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: recording that what we're made of a call he had

815
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: with Trump, where Trump was basically like, well, it's a

816
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: shame you didn't call me. Why don't you call me?

817
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: You should call me. I would have given you, like

818
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: all the information and all this. Yeah, I would have

819
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: corrected all this misinformation. You have so too bad you

820
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: probably can't print the book. Then, huh? And what where

821
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: we was like, No, I talked to you know, different

822
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: a bunch of different senators. He said, six different people

823
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: in the past couple of months. And he was like, oh, well,

824
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who I don't know. Those people must

825
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: not know me. And he was like Kelly and Conway,

826
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: I talked to her twice like two months ago. And

827
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, oh yeah, Lindsay Graham, Yeah, he said

828
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: he talked to you about talking to me, did he line?

829
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: He goes Synagram actually mentioned it quickly in one yes,

830
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: we'll see and then nothing happened. That is true, that's true,

831
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: Well that no, but that it's we do get a

832
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: head interview. In these recorded phone calls, you do get

833
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: a sense of him as a liar and him like

834
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: not being very good at it, like the Amarrossa call

835
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: where he was like, god, damn it, really, who did this? No? No, no,

836
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: And in this one where where he's just like, I

837
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear you're lying, and he's like, yeah,

838
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm lying, I'm sorry, Okay, you got me all right.

839
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: On the cultural front, Crazy Rich Asians just hit ten

840
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: million domestically. It dropped just ten percent after dropping a

841
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: really small amount the previous weekend, so it is, Yeah,

842
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: it just continues to be a juggernaut, and it's pretty unprecedented.

843
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: The last time I remember a movie that had this

844
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: kind of hold for this many weeks is like the

845
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: First Hangover or something. Is that true? Also equally important

846
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: movie for you know, another Ken Jong vehicle. Yes, yeah, exactly,

847
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: the America Loves Ken John. But yeah, that's just still

848
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: crushing it, um right, and it said, yeah, it's uh

849
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: one of the top showings for a rom com. And

850
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: since the Sandra Bullock Ryan Reynolds classic The Proposal, which

851
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: earned a hundred sixty in two thousand nine in America,

852
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: this is essentially like having a Western that does this well,

853
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: because like rom coms within the film industry were like, oh,

854
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: those are dead, Like you can make them and put

855
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: them on Netflix and you'll like make your money back

856
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: because they'll make four million and you just spent two

857
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: million on them. But this is just out of nowhere.

858
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: The fun was the proposal even about I mean, I

859
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: feel like as a concept, I remember it, but I

860
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: came for the life of me be like, oh, yeah,

861
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: the proposal was Sandra Bullock and I believe he was

862
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: her assistant or somehow work in the company, and then

863
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: she had to pretend that she was either engaged in

864
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: order to not get hassled by her family, and so

865
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: she proposed to him that why don't you come and

866
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: pretend to be my favorite? Wait, Jake Keith, I think

867
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: you had those backwards. You must have been saying he

868
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: when you met she and she when you met he,

869
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: because no way a woman would propose to a man.

870
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: That's crazy. They start out on these two like to bicker,

871
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: and you will not believe what ends up happening at

872
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: the conclusion of the movie. These two people who you

873
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: think will never get along, let alone ever romantic connection, Well,

874
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it for you, but they

875
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: she I love the poster the subtitle the proposal. Here

876
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: comes the bribe, because apparently they said the logline on IMBB,

877
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: A pushy boss forces her young assistant to marry her

878
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: in order to keep her visa status in the US

879
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: and to Canada. I forgot about that part. Ironically, Ryan

880
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: Reynolds is Canadian, uh, and in this case he's playing

881
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: the American that she's using to attach. I didn't know

882
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: there was crime involved. Yeah, that's awesome marriage. I mean,

883
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: any boss forcing their assistant to proposed or like get

884
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: engaged to them, I think that's a crime, like right off.

885
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: But if they're handsome, right, that's true. So we lost

886
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: like one of the great museums in the world over

887
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: the weekend went up in flames in Brazil. This is

888
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: the same museum where a year ago the dinosaur room,

889
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: like a room where they had all these amazing important

890
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: dinosaur fossils, was infested with termites because they just didn't

891
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: have the money for upkeeping. Brazil is a crazy corrupt

892
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: country and we're in the dying stages of those Olympics

893
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: done huh, exactly. Yeah, but I bet those venues had sprinklers.

894
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean, what else did they have in there? They

895
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: like just everything, huh, all kinds of early man like

896
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: just very important artifacts something like that. Yeah, important parts

897
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: of the historical record that right, we don't have anymore.

898
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: Oh that's like really heartbreaking away, like you know, all

899
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: who knows if the things that were in the museum

900
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: should be there, Because after going to the National Museum

901
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: in England, I was like, look all this stolen ship

902
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: but this was Yeah, it just bums me on to know,

903
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: like when like they're holding real pieces of like our

904
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: history as a planet and it just all burned up.

905
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: The right survived though, Just imagine all of the future

906
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: school children who can will not have the opportunity to

907
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: be bored looking at this stuff. Yeah, of course a

908
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: meteor right survived. The meteor right like survived and pretty

909
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 1: cool if the media right had caused the fire, Yeah,

910
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: that would have been kind of cool. Let them know. Yeah,

911
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: so I don't know. Oh that one of the most

912
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: prized possessions was a skull called Lucilla, which is among

913
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: the oldest fossils ever found in America's Good god, they

914
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: think they had insurance. I think they had good insurance.

915
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't be surprised there was an insurance scamp. Yeah,

916
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: probably like man I had that skull that was like

917
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: three billions. Right, well, how do you ensure something that's priceless? Right,

918
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: That's what I would say say if I was Lloyd's

919
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: of London, I would say, you know what we are

920
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: we gonna give you nothing. Yeah, sorry, it was priceless.

921
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: We can't give you any money. All we can give

922
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: you is our deepest sympathies. Great British accent again, by

923
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: the way, taking it back to the stuff, our deepest

924
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: sympathies Brazil. By the way, if you if you just

925
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,959
Speaker 1: want to get a sense of Brazil, just like going

926
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: YouTube and look for videos of Brazil police forces just

927
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: dominating people. It is. Yeah, it's a big authoritarian police state.

928
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy. Well yeah, what's funny now is now

929
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: they're thinking about going back to like military rule there

930
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: just being like, I think we want to go back

931
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: to that now. It's there's a lot of energy moving

932
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: around in that country in terms of its leadership, especially

933
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: with their upcoming election. So the New Yorker Festival, we

934
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: were all on the edge of our seat again, waiting. Okay,

935
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: what is Nike's third year Just Do It campaign going

936
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: to be? And who is going to be headlining the

937
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: New Yorker Festival this year? Will it be Beyonce? Will

938
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: it be oh, by the way, Happy Birthday yesterday Beyonce?

939
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: Will it be Kendrick It would be Steve Bannon. Bannon

940
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: was the headliner. He was gonna face off with David Remnick.

941
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: They were going to talk and argue, and a lot

942
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: of people weren't thrilled with that. Miles thoughts Jake Keith,

943
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: he had a platform, he has a platform. He's doing

944
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: what he has to. I know some people think it's

945
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: good to have public debates or whatever, to dismantle his

946
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: arguments in public or whatever. But it's pretty clear what

947
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: his his worldview is and I don't think he needs

948
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: to be normalized any further. Yeah, it's not like he's

949
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: a great scholar of you know, of conservatism. I mean,

950
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: he's a he's a big it, like I think it's

951
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: been a failed producer. Yeah, So I don't feel like

952
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: there's anything he needs to add to the conversation. Like

953
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: having a conversation with people on opposite sides is can

954
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 1: be valuable, but you know, you don't you don't debate

955
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: flat earthers, right exactly, He's the a flat earther of humanity.

956
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: His you know, he wants to create an ethno state.

957
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: He wants to quote dismantle the administrative state of the

958
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: government or whatever, which basically means hacking off parts of

959
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: the government, privatizing it for corporations to make money off

960
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: of it, and thus making the government less and less effective, uh,

961
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: and unable to regulate things. You know, it's just it's

962
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: all part of his plan of just weakening government, creating

963
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: an ethno state, limiting my immigration. Those are like, that's

964
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: his fantasy world that he lives in. Um. But I

965
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: mean it makes sense, like you're saying, Jakie, if you're

966
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: debating somebody who is also operating in some kind of

967
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: logical reality, that there are touchstones that you can agree

968
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: as a baseline, this is reality. But he's just there

969
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: for his very inflammatory takes and things that are only

970
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: going to trigger the list. There's no way it's going

971
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: to be productive. And uh, I like that. We live

972
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: in a world where Patton Oswald says he's not gonna

973
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: do something that has an effect. I like that you

974
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: were like, all right, I'm out on the New Yorker festival.

975
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: And so they canceled the interview and people are wondering like, well,

976
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: does this mean that debate is dead in this country?

977
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: And I think it's probably like I think the results

978
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: of this interview when both sides were like, yeah, we

979
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: showed them, and yeah, that's the problem. You have so

980
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: much motivation to you know, owning the libs by right,

981
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be more. I don't know. I think

982
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: maybe David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, came

983
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: in being like, oh, we're gonna just demolish this guy

984
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: on stage. But I mean, Bannon is pretty convincing to

985
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: the people who already want to believe him, and that's

986
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: what our country is right now is. But also, you know,

987
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: the New Yorker has done their own reporting to debunk

988
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: and show what a you know, what a nothing burger

989
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: this guy Isn't you know? It was so disrespectful, I

990
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: think to their own writers and editors, and a lot

991
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: of them banded together and let their opinions be known

992
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,959
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, the New Yorker does a great job

993
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 1: when they are reporting facts and writing long form stories.

994
00:51:58,600 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know, they have these

995
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: cartoons and they they have dogs doing things that normally

996
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: only humans do, and then the dog will say something

997
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: quite pithy. I just I just got the coasters usually

998
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: about usually about being in psychoanalysis. I only like colorful cartoons. Unfortunately,

999
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm a simple man. And I don't mean to say

1000
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 1: that the analysis of Steve Bannon isn't necessary because there's

1001
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: a documentary from Errol Morris that's coming out. The superducer

1002
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: Nick Stump brought up and I understand that from on

1003
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: some level, from a journalistic point of view, you want

1004
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: to talk to people who with divergent opinions and then

1005
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: begin to talk, have a debate or whatever. But I've

1006
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: never seen him concede like any talking point of his

1007
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: in the face of fact, and that to me, I

1008
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: don't I'm not sure if you're just going to report on, oh,

1009
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: look at this pure evil person, then yes, there you

1010
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: can do that on the mere existence of it. I

1011
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm curious to know, Like, even in

1012
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: the fantastic version of what this Q and A was

1013
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna look like, what they thought was gonna do aside

1014
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: from what we were saying is just create more just division,

1015
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: and it's cash for outrage. You know, you're gonna get

1016
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: people on both sides saying that they want and it's

1017
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: not going to further anything. Whereas a documentary, I think

1018
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: it's a it's a you know, Aero Morris I trust

1019
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: to confront anyway. He's done great documentaries about Rumsfeld and

1020
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: about McNamara, and you know, I trust him to take

1021
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 1: on a person who made terrible decisions and has terrible

1022
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: opinions in a way that actually could be you know,

1023
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: enlightening and showing someone for who they are. But also

1024
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 1: there's the opportunity cost of you book a conversation at

1025
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: a festival with Bannon. Who are you not booking? You

1026
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: know what, what point of view are you not putting

1027
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: out there, especially when that maybe deserves more exploration and

1028
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: it's something that that we don't already know. Yeah, I'm

1029
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: another white guy, right from a different white guy. And

1030
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: by the way, I like a lot of white guys, right,

1031
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, obviously we want to

1032
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: keep as many white guys as possible. I didn't say

1033
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: that exactly, I just meant that I don't have complete

1034
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: self hatred right right the Fog of War. By the way,

1035
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: the mcnamaraan documentary is amazing because he's kind of like

1036
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: has intellectually but not to his soul, like processed what

1037
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: he like all the ways he fucked up, but he's

1038
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: still just like real, has that like positive businessman spin

1039
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: on it, like, hey, we're trying this thing and it

1040
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: didn't quite work out. But it's like he doesn't kind

1041
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: of see the human toll. And then the Rumsfeld, when

1042
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: I think was called the Known Unknown, Yeah, just seeing

1043
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: what a weirdo he is. Right, That one is more

1044
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: about just putting a very strange, immoral lunatic on display,

1045
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: whereas the McNamara one kind of gives you a little

1046
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: He has more distance, and it's just weird because there

1047
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: are all these things that he was very guarded and uh,

1048
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, shortsighted about back during the Vietnam War that

1049
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: now he's like, yeah, so that was a mistake and

1050
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: we fucked that one up, and uh so it'll be

1051
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: interesting to see what the Bannon one is. But again,

1052
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: it has to just be a depiction of a horror show,

1053
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's what people were describing it as

1054
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: I get to look a a horror film, because yes,

1055
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: I think we have to understand that kind of sort

1056
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: of authoritarian right wing movement that Bannon loves to get

1057
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: stuck into, especially in Europe now, where he's like exporting

1058
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: these kinds of beliefs and being like, yeah, do you

1059
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: guys like this sort of brand of xenophobia? And I

1060
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: think that clearly has to be monitored. But I think

1061
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: you get into slippery territory when you're like, come to

1062
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: this thing, let's talk, when you're not going to say

1063
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: anything aside from just being contrarian or whatever. And Benham

1064
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: was not that successful when he went to Europe, right Like,

1065
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: It's not like he won a bunch of elections for

1066
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: them over there. Right Well, he's been you know, like

1067
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, Marilla Penn and like even in Italy, like

1068
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: they talked to him, and he knows how to turn

1069
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people's anger into something more destructive. Um,

1070
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's what his awful gift is, what

1071
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: a legacy. So the other thing that the right was

1072
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: freaking out about over the weekend was the lack of

1073
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: gratuitous flagshots in the upcoming Damien Chazelle film First Man

1074
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: about Neil Armstrong landing on the Moon, and I assumed

1075
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: that they had like blacked out the flag or like,

1076
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: I think they think that too, right, I think that's

1077
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: what they think. And then you see the shots of

1078
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: him with the flag on the shoulder and the flags

1079
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: the flag, they're the only thing that has left out

1080
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: is him actually stabbing the movie, stabbing the moon with

1081
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: an American flag and declaring victory doing a touchdown dance.

1082
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: But the movie doesn't come out to October. This is

1083
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: all based on you know, people who saw this controversy.

1084
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: It was premiered at the Venice Film Festival this week

1085
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: and critics loved it. But you know, somebody made the

1086
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: point that, oh, they don't show this, which is an

1087
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: interesting choice and the right having like I'm sure not

1088
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: a single person who has objected has actually seen it.

1089
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: They're just looking at Well. Also, it's a huge percentage

1090
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: of these people, probably folks who think that was faked anyway, right, Yeah,

1091
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: like they didn't show the studio where you put the

1092
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: flag in the moon. Well that's what I'm where that truth, huh.

1093
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I don't know, I think it doesn't

1094
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: help you have a Canadian and Ryan gosseling on there

1095
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: to their American Damnien. Yeah, but then Marco Rubio they

1096
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: see this tweet, is that this is total lunacy in

1097
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: a disservice at a time when our people need reminders

1098
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: of what we can achieve when we work together. The

1099
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: American people paid for that mission on rockets built by Americans,

1100
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: with American technology and carrying American astronauts. It wasn't a

1101
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: U n mission. Yeah, Okay, remember when Neil arm Trunk

1102
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: said a small leap for a man, a giant leap

1103
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: for American Americans? Americans only fuck the Earth, American kind,

1104
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 1: I'm out here fucking the earth with a flag? Would

1105
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: flag drop? But buzz Aldrin, who is the official voice

1106
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: of this story, you know he's the man the second

1107
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,959
Speaker 1: Man's a good point. So he tweeted out a photo

1108
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: of himself next to an American flag on the moon

1109
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: hashtag Proud to be American. But as our writer Jam

1110
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: McNab pointed out, should we really listen to buzz Aldrin's

1111
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: criticism of the movie It's called First Man? Letting buzz

1112
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: al drum way in is like asking a can of

1113
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: r C Cola, how it feels about the coke you're drinking. Yeah,

1114
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: I think that's about right. Shut the funk up. I mean,

1115
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: also to I'm there were many people who are I'm

1116
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: sure there are many people in the space program who

1117
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: were not born in America who were contributing their knowledge,

1118
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: know how, expertise, right exactly, op. You know, so like

1119
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,959
Speaker 1: America is in a country made up of just people

1120
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: who were born here since the fucking uh, this is

1121
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: a country of immigrants to so you know, in a way,

1122
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: this is a fucking it's a victory for mankind, as

1123
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: he said when he got on the movie. Yes, and

1124
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: again they do show the American flag. Also, it's a movie, guys,

1125
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: it's a movie. Also, they point out Mark Rubia one

1126
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: of his favorite movies, Wedding Crashers, in his top three.

1127
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, can't follow him for that, but we're and Eraserhead. Yeah,

1128
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: so he's a pretty rounded out dude. Yeah, weird choice

1129
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: that Forrest Gump is the third man on the moon

1130
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: on the Moon mission. Okay, that is going to do it.

1151
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: two way player named Shohyotani and there's a I believe

1152
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: a Japanese Twitter account called every day show Hey or

1153
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: something like everyday Showtime and it's all in Japanese and

1154
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: it's just different gifts of him doing random things like

1155
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: on the field or of like you know, bubble heads

1156
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: or like little tribute things that people I enjoyed very much.

1157
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: I enjoyed Japanese fandom of baseball. How is his season going?

1158
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: Pretty good? He was injured for a couple of months.

1159
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: He just returned to start a game on over the

1160
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: weekend and he did he did okay. Uh so, considering

1161
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he pitches and hits, he's doing he's

1162
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: doing pretty great. First guy, since like the days of

1163
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth exactly crazy, it's pretty fun. Miles. What's a

1164
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: tweet you've been enjoying now? Oh, it's just that one.

1165
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: So if if you saw the Colin Kaepernick ad, it's

1166
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: like a black and white portrait, very close up image

1167
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: of him with like the words I think, believe in something,

1168
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: even if it means sacrificing everything, just do it. And

1169
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: there's some the internet, because you guys, God bless you

1170
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: the Internet. A bunch of savages put up a picture

1171
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: of Kanye West and similar black and white portraits close

1172
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: up and it just said, slavery is a choice. Adidas

1173
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: come on, but hey, you know, ah, what you gotta do. Also,

1174
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe Drake did have sex with Kim Kardashian.

1175
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: That's what all that was about. Oh really, Yeah, there's

1176
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: some interesting Twitter threads going on the internet. Someone. Yeah,

1177
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, if you really look

1178
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: at it, the side a of Scorpion is all about

1179
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: how he smashed Kim Kardashian and that he's also Joe

1180
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Button had talked about it too in his podcast a

1181
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, where he was saying that essentially Drake

1182
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: had shared with Kanye this plan or that like what

1183
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: he was gonna do, and then Kanye basically like shifted

1184
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: all of his marketing around what Drake was doing too,

1185
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: like as a major troll move. It's very, very in

1186
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: depth theory. But there are many theories floating around, but

1187
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: that was the one that had everybody on on Twitter

1188
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: go on why and was part of Drake's marketing plan

1189
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: to fun Kim Kardashian. I don't know, that's the way

1190
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: I think, but that's why, you know, that could be

1191
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: the ki ki he's talking about. All right, um, what

1192
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: does any of that mean? Yeah? Yeah, millennials, right am?

1193
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: I right? Also, Miley Cyrus's little sister is tweeting because

1194
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: she's breaking up with her boyfriend. And this couple looks

1195
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: like they're twelve years old. I think she's eighteen and

1196
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: he's tunny one. And but as John Daly says, he

1197
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: has teeth like he's still he really does look like

1198
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: he still has his baby teeth. Tweet that I've been

1199
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: enjoying us from Bryn mcclooney at Dagger Trout on Twitter.

1200
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Tweeted a picture of the Matrix and a picture of

1201
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: Fight Club side by side, and wrote two movies that

1202
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: have been hilariously misinterpreted, one about the struggles of coming out,

1203
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: written by two trans women, the other about a critique

1204
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: of toxic masculinity written by a gay man. And I

1205
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: think nothing has been truer that I've read in a

1206
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: long time. You can find me on Twitter at Jack
