Speaker 1: Yeah.

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: He just pulled me aside one day and was like,

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: I used to think you're a good kid. To look

23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: at you, that is, to look.

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: At you, that is a fucking trans I know.

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: So now I think you were a punk.

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: I think he literally used the word punk and it

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: was my last day I was moving the next day,

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: and he was like, I just want you to know

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: on your way out. Anyways, at least he taught me

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: the wrong name for Mexico City, Brian. We don't usually

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: do trending episodes on Friday. I was at my keyboard

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: last night furiously typing about some shit I'm seeing in

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: response to the fires. But the main reason that I

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: wanted to check in with people is, you know, Miles

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: has been out all week. I wanted to let him

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: kind of share what was going on with him and

37
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: his family in his own time and in his own way.

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: But he did tweet about it a couple of days

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: ago and given me permission to share a couple of

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: things with you guys. So first of all, just read

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: his tweet. Hey everyone, the family is safe, but we

42
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: unfortunately lost our home like countless others did in the

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: eaton Knon fire. I will have more to say once

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 2: I'm able to process things a bit, but for now,

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: just wanted to let people know we are safe and

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: we will find a way forward. Miles and yeah, we

47
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: actually you know, I've been texting with him a lot, obviously,

48
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: you know, their their safety was my number one concern.

49
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people's number one concern, but

50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: this is just a real mind fuck and incredibly difficult

51
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: to deal with. Uh, They're they're going through it. But

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: as we were about to record this, uh, he happened

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,600

00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: and a lot of the people who are you know,

89
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: going through it right now because of these kind of

90
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: unprecedented fires, the increasingly precedented fires. I will say, so, yeah,

91
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 2: I don't know, he said a lot, and I don't

92
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't taking detailed notes because again I was crying,

93
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: but like trying to act like I wasn't so I

94
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, totally, totally, man, he is going to

95
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: be back when he can be so he'll he'll be

96
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: able to speak to it himself. And then I did

97
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: just want to talk about the people who aren't being

98
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: that helpful when it comes to the crisis that La

99
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: is living through.

100
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: The fires.

101
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: You know, as we record this on Friday, still the

102
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: biggest ones are not contained. So some of them I

103
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: think are zero percent contained, which seems like not the

104
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: number you're looking for. But a lot of people, a

105
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: lot of firefighters fighting valiantly out there, a lot of

106
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: just Steph Curry from way downtown, water drops happening.

107
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: Kobe Swish except not anyways, don't.

108
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: I do just want to I do just want to

109
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: continue to talk about this American need to find the

110
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: singular villain, as long as that singular villain is not

111
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: a wealthy fossil fuel executive.

112
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has.

113
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Been systematically poisoning and you know, creating the circumstances for

114
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: what we're all experiencing and living through. That that would

115
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 2: be I think, if if we're going to find a villain,

116
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: there's your villain.

117
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: These people who have who.

118
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: Have buildings on college campuses named after them, you know,

119
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: for having just made obscene amounts of money from the

120
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: fossil fuel industry. Those are the people who we should

121
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: be blaming.

122
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: If you're gonna blame anybody, here's a novel idea. We

123
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: could look out for each other and not try to

124
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: constantly find a villain. Yeah, yeah, that's something I'd like

125
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: to see.

126
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but and I do feel like there are some

127
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: people who are doing that. But the way, and that's

128
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: usually happening under the surface and not it's not being

129
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: it's not happening in the media, and you know, the media.

130
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: It's not narratively as exciting to help each other out

131
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 4: and cool resources and all that stuff. It's much more

132
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: exciting to have an action movie going.

133
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: On in the fucking news.

134
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, that's right. And social media has also been

135
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I go back and forth on like

136
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: the direction of media feels inevitable. I always tell this

137
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: anecdote about how the inventor of the loud speaker blamed

138
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: himself for the rise of fascism and and oh yeah

139
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: that guy, and I think at the time he was

140
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: doing that, it made sense to people because like one day,

141
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: in order to reach a big group of people. You

142
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: had to have a loud voice and stand on like

143
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: a soapbox, like literally, that's where that comes from. And

144
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: then somebody created a technology and now you know, they

145
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: could reach an entire auditorium full of people.

146
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: And he was like, that is my fault. Hitler is my.

147
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 4: Bad, and which is funny because I mean radio, you know,

148
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: was invented right around man.

149
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: So I think he's big up in himself a little bit.

150
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's why it looks ridiculous, because

151
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: in retrospect, it's like that was one tiny step along

152
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: the path toward like mass broadcasting technology. But I also

153
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: just always bring it up because I think, you know,

154
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: as invisible as that seems to us, now, the invention

155
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: of the loudspeakers, we're at a point where like social

156
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: media basically like people are like, okay, it's kind of

157
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: beside the point to make arguments about social media, but

158
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: just some of the like fucking Henry Winkler, the Fonds,

159
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: the book. I guess it was Thursday, and it was

160
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: pretty early on Thursday too, you know, apparently got like

161
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: truly existentially scared for the first time, and you know,

162
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: seeing his friend's houses burned down and declared there's an

163
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: arsonist on the loose in LA And it of course

164
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: got like tons of play and like so many people

165
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: in the comments being like, yes, finally somebody saying it,

166
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: like so that the idea that it immediately took hold

167
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: in the comments and around social media is like, not

168
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: only was there an arsonist, but there was a conspiracy

169
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: to say there wasn't a Narsenist. And because I guess

170
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: they this is like part of the narrative that we

171
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: want to blame climate and fossil fuel executives unfairly.

172
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I don't, I truly don't know, like.

173
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: What baffling Like, yeah, based based on what mister Fonzareli.

174
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It seemed like he was implying

175
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: he had a a secret source. I'm sure he. You know,

176
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: wealthy people hang out with other wealthy people. They love

177
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: to be like I know a guy who knows a thing,

178
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: like who uh secretly knows that there is in fact

179
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: yellow cake uranium in Iraq?

180
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: You know, like he's like Ron Howard told me that

181
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: his brother Clint saw guy with a flamethrower.

182
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: Then they found a unhoused person with a blowtorch in

183
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: the valley, and this, you know, seemed to confirm what

184
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: everybody already wanted to believe, that it's actually.

185
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: Poor people who are the problem.

186
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: With fun house person get a blow torch.

187
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: I know.

188
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: And that's like early what early reporting of a thing

189
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: that it seemed like everybody already really wanted to believe.

190
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: Like Andrew Huberman, do you know who that is? Has

191
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: a massive podcast. He's like a Stanford PhD. But he's

192
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: like now spent four years too many being told he's

193
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: smart by everyone around him, and it's poisoned his mind

194
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: and now he thinks he's like smart about everything.

195
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: And so he took a.

196
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: Video of like an empty lot and I think it

197
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: was Santa Monica that had a fire in it and

198
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: was like, they're starting fires out here, man, like geez,

199
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: And someone in the comment was like, wait, I know

200
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: those people they are in that video. They were they

201
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: were there trying to fight that fire. But it was

202
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: and you can like see the difference in the person

203
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: pointing out like, oh no, that's me, that's that's my friend.

204
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: We were trying to fight that fire with a garden

205
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: hose until the firefighters got there. Uh, those people are

206
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: being downvote, you know, their their comments are dead before

207
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: they hit the feed. And then yeah, the comments that

208
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: are like this is the conspiracy. They don't want us

209
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: to know that it's actually drug addicts and unhoused people that.

210
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: Are caused fire horny for like secret knowledge or like

211
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 4: they're in some some sort of fucking club that knows

212
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: more than everybody else and the secret.

213
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: The wild thing about this conspiracy, The reason I'm so

214
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: skeptical about Andrew Huberman's eyewitness testimony and the fonds Is

215
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: testimony is it's a conspiracy that is protecting unhoused people

216
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: and drug addicts, the people who have never once been

217
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 2: protected and treated with any deference in the history of

218
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: the United States. Like there's absolutely if there's a way

219
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: to blame them, they are going to be blamed, trust

220
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: you me. So anyways, after those initial reports. The other

221
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: thing that's making me somewhat skeptical the police, who would

222
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: love nothing you know, would love nothing more than a

223
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: bad guy to pin this thing on.

224
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, something to do.

225
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 2: They're already, as we've talked about, like during past press conferences,

226
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: they're already jumping into the press conference being like don't

227
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: even think about it, and the press is like, we sorry,

228
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: who are you talking. Don't even exactly don't even think

229
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: about it, Okay, I'm just saying, do you mean like arsonists?

230
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: Do you mean Luke? Don't no, don't don't even.

231
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: Don't think about anything.

232
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: Don't even think about anything. Please.

233
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: That would actually help us a lot, you know, Like

234
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: Andrew Huberman in his video is like on the phone

235
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: with the police being like, hey, there's a fire here

236
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: or the fire station. The police are coming. They apparently arrived.

237
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: It is not a location where one of the fires started,

238
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: so they were able to put it out, And like

239
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: there's a Fox News article that is like, actually the

240
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: police like say, there's no exact instances of arson, like

241
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: that was before they found the one on housed guy

242
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: with like a lighter or slash blowtorch. But they were like,

243
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: there's none, there's no examples to support the fonds and

244
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: Andrew Huberman, but like you know that they would fucking

245
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: do anything to have that be true.

246
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: I mean you can tell from that that press conference.

247
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: It's like it's like looking at the context of that

248
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: press conference is like why are you even here, Like

249
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 4: either help or get the fuck out of the way,

250
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: like no one's checking for you.

251
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're so horny for there to be a bad

252
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: guy they can blame. They need it to coming. It's coming.

253
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: There's going to be bad guys. There's going to be

254
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: un house people that they're going to pin this on.

255
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: I think there's already on somebody, But I'm just saying

256
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: I would remain pretty skeptical that that is actually what's

257
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: going on here, as opposed to the fact that there

258
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: are all these fires starting all over the place. Because

259
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: it is the most windy it's ever been, which seems

260
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: to be the thing that drove the fires.

261
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: That's a That's another thing where you can tell that

262
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: everyone's brain is kind of broken. Not everyone, but people

263
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: who are coming up with these wild ideas. I lived

264
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: in LA for thirty five years. Yeah, fires number one

265
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: are a part of life in southern California, Like there

266
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: are fires that devastate eight people's lives every year.

267
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: What's unusual about this.

268
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 4: Is it's fucking January and this is hot. I cannot

269
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: remember a time when fire season extended well into winter

270
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: like this.

271
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: This is highly.

272
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 4: Unusual to messi rans that cause flash flooding. This is

273
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 4: this is a flooding season, not a fire season.

274
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: This is not fire season.

275
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: This is not normal, and it just seems like peoples

276
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 4: have this. It's like they memory hole. It's kind of

277
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: like with the hurricane people during hurricane season, where it's

278
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 4: like the government sent the blah and it's like, no, dude,

279
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: this happens every year. It's just getting worse and more frequent. Yeah,

280
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 4: and there's no one to blame in regards to this

281
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: is a this is a thing that happens, but the

282
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: frequency and the scale of this is highly unusual, and

283
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: this is this is a climate disaster, Like, this is

284
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: very not normal. Blaming unhoused people with lighters on them

285
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: is fully delusional. And yeah, I get that it's a sexy,

286
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 4: sexy idea to like turn this into like some sort

287
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: of criminal investigation, but we're in we're in a really

288
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 4: fucked up room, and acknowledging that is is it would

289
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 4: be a huge step to addressing the actual issue. Yeah, Like,

290
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 4: it's it's wild that people cannot accept the reality of

291
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: the situation.

292
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: To me, Yeah, it's it's very frustrating, and it just

293
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: you know, I like the fact that it's the fonds, like, well, respected.

294
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: I think liberal icon the Fonds, and like Andrew Huberman,

295
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: like Stamford scientists, guy like these are the sorts of

296
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: people that we used to be able to rely on.

297
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 2: And now you know, I will say, all right, so

298
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: fossil fuel. If we if we need to create villains,

299
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: it's the fossil fuel executives who knew about the ship

300
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: before anybody and then took that knowledge and used it

301
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: to suppress the information. Also, just the fact that you know,

302
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: so what we're seeing is a massive problem with the

303
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: fact that for a long time we didn't let people

304
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: publish stuff they thought they saw, right, Like, people would

305
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: think they saw something and then they would go to

306
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: a news room. They would you know that had a

307
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 2: legal department that didn't want to get sued, and.

308
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: They would vet stuff.

309
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: They would have to vet stuff, and they wouldn't be

310
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: able to publish stuff without having it fact checked. And

311
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: the reason that we had that system in place is

312
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: because back when people could publish stuff, they thought they

313
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: saw the world, believed in ghosts, and they thought they

314
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: thought plagues were caused by like, you know, letting fresh

315
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: air in and you know, demons and shit. So I

316
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: just like I would also lump Mark Zuckerberg again. His

317
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: new plan to not fact check because that is biased,

318
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: is fucked up and probably going to take us into

319
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: down a very bad path that we're already like well

320
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: on our way down.

321
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: But I don't know, man, it just you heard him, folks,

322
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 4: the democratization of the news has ruined us.

323
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean kind of yeah. It really like.

324
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 4: There are no arbiters. There are just people yelling into

325
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: the void.

326
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: It just seemed like this fire. Being in the midst

327
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: of this fire and watching it, Like I'm talking to

328
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: people the day after the Funds is like it's arsonists.

329
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 2: People are like, yeah, I agree, people are being weird,

330
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: but I did hear there's arsenists. I'm just like, well, yeah,

331
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I don't I don't think there's

332
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: necessarily a way to put the whole social media genie

333
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: back in the bottle.

334
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 4: But you know, but if you got listeners, you know,

335
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: if you listening to this show, you probably got a

336
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: decent head on your shoulders. But if you got any

337
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 4: goofy ass friends talking this nonsense, please check them what

338
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 4: they talk about they talk about. Please please don't let

339
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: please don't let these these weird ass. You know, I

340
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: would say thoughts, but there's not a whole lot of

341
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: thought put into them. Don't let this stuff go by unchallenged,

342
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, if you if you hear people spouting

343
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: nonsense like this, check your people.

344
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

345
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: I think like we're we're at such a weird place

346
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: where like a lot of community has been destroyed, and

347
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: then the one thing that gives you a feeling of

348
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: being part of some larger hole or shared delusions is

349
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: like yeah, shared delusions and like transmitting memes and ship

350
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: like on on social media, like being part of social media,

351
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: but it's like so toxic. It's just like and you

352
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: get to be a neuron that's sending delusional messages to

353
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: the shared brain that we're all part of. That that's

354
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: how you get to be part of this large body

355
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: of humanity that we're all part of. So it's yeah,

356
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 2: the past few days have made me certain that in

357
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: like one hundred years, looking back on the year twenty

358
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: twenty five, people will be like, oh, wow, the United

359
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: States was the worst place you could have possibly lived

360
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: at that moment in time.

361
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: Like those people.

362
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: Worked so hard, justified so much, burned so many calories

363
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: on cognitive dissonance in order to live and die in

364
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: a place that objectively was one of the worst places

365
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: to live and die.

366
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: And that hates you. That hates you, like yeah, that

367
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,200
