And you know, that whole feature 84 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: was reactionary because they got called out where people were 85 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 2: like yo, you people can use your air tag feature 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: to stalk people.

I have been 95 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 5: doing this recently. I have been deciding that maybe Twitter, 96 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 5: also known as Eggs, is bad for my mind, my soul, 97 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 5: and my body. But I lack any kind of self control. 98 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 5: I have none of that, So I started sort of 99 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 5: child blocking myself physically putting my phone in a cabinet. 100 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 5: There's like an app. There's a ton of apps like this, 101 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 5: so I'm not really necessarily saying this one in particular 102 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 5: is good.

I would disable it and keep going. 106 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 5: But it like interrupts you while you're trying to score 107 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 5: through Twitter, and it's like, hey, you really want to 108 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 5: do this? 109 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 6: Really? 110 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: Is this what? 111 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 5: So you're gonna spend your afternoon scrolling through Twitter getting 112 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 5: mad and it has made it's like it's it's like 113 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 5: emerging from a fog when the fog is made out 114 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 5: of neo Nazis, and it's beautiful. 115 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: Very fascist of you first of all, throwing your enemies 116 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: in jail like that. 117 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 5: I know. 118 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 6: I'm like, he's innocent. 119 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: I do admire your willpower and the fact that you're 120 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: doing that.

Yeah, almighty, 174 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 4: some of us just aren't cut out for it. 175 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 6: Maybe you need to be like a step dad to 176 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 6: a plant first, and then that'll ease you back it. 177 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 6: You can adopt a plant. 178 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 4: If I could got another household to raise the plant 179 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: to maturity, then I could come in and take it 180 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 4: to go to see baseball games. That would be ideal. 181 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just fostering. Fostering a plant situation. Maybe you 182 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: could be the friend who's watering other people's plants when 183 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: they're out of town. 184 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I can dig that. Yeah, you're not the 185 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 6: step plant dad, you're the plant dad that stepped that's right, right. 186 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, plants are temperamental I've had varying levels of success, 187 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: Like California. Southern California is like I went from Missouri 188 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: to New York to Southern California, and I tried Missouri, 189 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: and I tried to have a garden in Missouri, and 190 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: I was very unsuccessful. New York didn't even bother like 191 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: other than like a couple of orchids that lasted a 192 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: week or so, and then oh orchids. I I am 193 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: known in the orchid community. It's like an I am 194 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: legend situation in the orchid community. Spoiler alert for the 195 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: end of that movie. But yeah, they they know about 196 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: me and run when I enter a room. And then 197 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: Southern You come to Southern California and you just like 198 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: drop an apple by accident, and like a tree is 199 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: growing there the next day. It's just like the most 200 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: just a verdant place in the world, fertile, verdant, other vocabulary. 201 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 6: Words, the verdant crescent. 202 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: So California, that's right. Yeah, So I recommend moving to 203 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: southern California. 204 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 4: That might be the easiest lot of problems move across 205 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 4: the country. There you go, window, that's true. 206 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: It does they do love a sorbet out here, because 207 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: everybody's vegan. 208 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going to say that. Actually, it's a nice 209 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 6: vegan option for me. When people want to go get 210 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 6: ice cream and I'm like, but I want to beted 211 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 6: or like at a at a restaurant they have sorbet often. 212 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, it has anre. 213 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: What pre dinner. 214 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's three globes of ice. Please. I don't want to. 215 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: I don't want to. Let's give me three globes. 216 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come 217 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: back and we'll talk about the news and we're back, like, 218 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: how's everybody doing with the election? Like I'm I'm the 219 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: fear is on me, I said, for like a couple 220 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: of weeks. Now the fear is on me. I'm just 221 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: like having flashbacks to twenty sixteen, reading a bunch of 222 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: shit about like how the polling can go as in 223 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: the past, like vastly underestimated Trump. I'm like oscillating between 224 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: that and then being like, if Trump loses, maybe this 225 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: is it because his brain so bad. Maybe the whole 226 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: like open fascism thing will will be gone. But how 227 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: are you guys feeling? Is everybody hanging in there? 228 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: It feels like we really we like Blake and I. 229 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 4: We went from like six months out to three weeks out. 230 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 4: It seemed like it was. It just came down the 231 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 4: pike real quick, and I was like, oh, the rubbers 232 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 4: being the road here, and yeah, I think I think 233 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: what you're what you're talking about is like kind of 234 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 4: my anxiety where it's like the more you read, the 235 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: less calm you feel, because you just keep on getting 236 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: all these like contradictory you know, op eds you see 237 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 4: and like they'll can you know, I'm very malleable in 238 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 4: my opinions. So like any ear if I was like, yo, 239 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 4: like oh, Harris is a lot for Michigan, Like great, 240 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 4: it's in the bag. We're done. And then like it's 241 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 4: like like, oh, these polls are all nonsense. 242 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Michigan's over. Yeah, kiss, Michigan can buy assholes Trump Country. 243 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: The best thing I've been doing for myself is just 244 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 4: trying to remind myself. 245 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: That, uh, nobody knows anything. 246 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 4: Nobody knows anything. 247 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And by by saying your opinions are very malleable, 248 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: that's because you're still an undecided Like yeah, that's. 249 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 4: Right, Well I'm still pretty much in the bag for 250 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: Cornell West. 251 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that where did that. What happened? 252 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: God damn, he's still going straw man. 253 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 7: He can he got a victory and uh what what 254 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 7: what's the state you can win? 255 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 4: Alaska? 256 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: Oh well, that's unfortunately. So I think one of the 257 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: big things that we know is going to be an 258 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: issue is the like, what is going to happen at 259 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: the polls on election day. This was a big concern 260 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: heading into the twenty twenty. 261 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 6: Election, handing out comedy flyers at the election day, I will. 262 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: Be barking, bring your friends, I'll. 263 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 6: Bring a QR code for my Instagram. 264 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: Should leave. 265 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 6: They're going to be in line. 266 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 4: Having assault rifle as well as that. 267 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: Yeah show, that's yeah. I mean that you'll fit in 268 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: better if you have an assault rifle. I remember having 269 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: these concerns heading into the twenty twenty election, and that 270 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: was before they staged an insurrection to try and overturn 271 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: the results of that election. So, and by the way, 272 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: Trump has recently gone on record referring to the people 273 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: who were aded on January sixth, says, we like we 274 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: and we were very peaceful. So that's unnerving, And I 275 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: think it's just one of the big questions concerns surrounding 276 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: this election, Like, first of all, how safe will it 277 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: be for them? Second of all, will there actually be 278 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: any read that first question about how safe it's going 279 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: to be? Will anybody actually want to do this job? 280 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: Because there is a massive shortage in poll workers owing 281 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: to a mass exodus in twenty twenty caused by the 282 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: pandemic first of all, and then countless Trump inspired threats 283 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: and intimidate campaigns like that. It was ugly in twenty twenty. 284 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: Like there I still remember like some of those scenes 285 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: in like Detroit where there was just like massive crowds 286 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: of Trump supporters like chanting stop the count outside of God. Yeah, yeah, 287 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: they're talking about that. They're talking about the count from 288 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: Sesame Street. 289 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 6: He's an immigrant, Get him out of here. 290 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: What's he doing in this election? 291 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 6: I'm going to the job. 292 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 4: I want to stop the count. 293 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: The shortage is pretty understandable since more than half of 294 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: election officials have reported being concerned about the safety of 295 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: their colleagues or staff already this year. Because yeah, there 296 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: it's just there's constant like threats. There's a lot of 297 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: like right wing training happening. So yeah, it's it's not 298 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: just that like concerns that voting sites will be understaffed. 299 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: There's also like right wing conspiracy theorists. Theorists are actively 300 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: trying to use the shortage to install their own pole watchers, 301 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: as you know, workers in swing. 302 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 6: States who will watch the watchers. 303 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, so they will watch the watchers. 304 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 6: They're going to watch. 305 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 4: I gotta say, all these factoids you're dropping here are 306 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: not making me feel any better. 307 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: But I know it's not well, yeah, feeling good. 308 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 6: Well, let me just wreck that for you, right hey, 309 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 6: let me check. 310 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: My local high school gymnasium is not at. 311 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: Is Yeah, and I feel like that's I don't know, 312 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: it feels like a tangible thing at least, but it's 313 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: like a very scary one. 314 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 315 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: They keep in these like places where they're recruiting and 316 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: training right wing pole watchers. They're talking about acting as 317 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: a spy or a trojan horse. That's literally how like 318 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: a Christian right influencer described his plan. 319 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 4: So dress yeah, yeah, this is. 320 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: Specifically what happened. There was there was a usc like there. 321 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: Their football team is called the Trojans. There's like all 322 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: their sports teams are called the Trojans. And they had 323 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: like a warm up video this year where they were 324 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: like pretending to be in the trophy, Like they showed 325 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: a Trojan horse and then like showed themselves and it's like, wait, no, 326 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: you guys are the Trojans, Like you're the Trojan horse. 327 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: Foled you it was a gift to the Trojans. 328 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 4: Well, these football players aren't much on book learning. 329 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: They're not they're not history majors.

That's like how it's being pitched to them. 415 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I worked on the last day of American democracy. 416 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But it's actually had like all over the 417 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: country officials they're actively recruiting high school students to become 418 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: pole workers. And while my aren't allowed to become poll 419 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 1: workers in every in every state, a loophole allows for 420 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: it as long as they're pre registered to vote. 421 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 6: There's gonna be a whole group of like weird in 422 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 6: cell dudes who haven't memorized, like the ages that they're 423 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 6: allowed to be poll workers state by state. 424 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: In some cases they're paid just like regular poll workers, 425 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: which I don't think as much because in other cases 426 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: they're simply asked to work for free pizza because the 427 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: gig is such a quote resume booster. So surely the 428 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: solution to this national emergency is not to treat election 429 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: workers even worse. But that does seem to be the 430 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: direction that we're going with it. 431 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 6: I think it actually might be a good thing, because 432 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 6: imagine you go with your like ar whatever to the polls, 433 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 6: you're this angry Republican and then a fucking teager just 434 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 6: roast the ship out of your shoes, Like, what are 435 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 6: you going to do?
