1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of t

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: d Z or not t d Z. That is, there

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: is no question Actually there's courtesy of ju do I

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: just know that monologue because of Billy Madison? Whether tis

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: nobler too? Oh man, No, that's the one piece of

6
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: Shakespeare that I had to memorize in high school and

7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: I did not admit him long term? Was that like

8
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: standard practice? I think it used to be like I

9
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: think that was like real common in like fifties education

10
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and like British education, like you have to have a

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: module on it. I feel like, right, not like, okay, Miles,

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: please come up to recite. Yes, the character of Iago

13
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: really resonated with me from Othello, so allow me right,

14
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the teacher, now that I'm like thinking

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: about it, I'm wondering if the teacher wanted us to

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: like inhabit the character and like give a dramatic reading.

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: But I think I was pretty wrote. Uh anyways, I'm Jack.

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: That's Miles. Hey. Uh. Ed Norton is trending and my

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: heart skipped a beat, Miles, because the the algorithm has

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: learned something about how to write headlines, so that until

21
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the very end of the headline, we think the person

22
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: has died. It was announcing that he is going to

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: star or be one of the stars of Knives Out Too.

24
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: But the way it was written was Edward Norton, star

25
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: of like started referencing his work, which it was just

26
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: like note for note exactly how you announced that somebody

27
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: has passed away? Yeah, uh, what are they doing? I

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: think they like we're saying before. I think they know

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: that well, they probably to someone engaged. You released like

30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: five headlines and see which one is getting the most engagement,

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: and it's just you just go with whichever one has

32
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: the most engagement and then ask ask for forgiven us

33
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: later when there it is you heard it here first,

34
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: a m C is trending because this might be the

35
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: new game stock am energy. The energy of the of

36
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: AMC AMC five eleven Twitter, uh is just high. It's high.

37
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: It's just funny to see more than more than like

38
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: whatever may or may not happen with the AMC stock,

39
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: it's just interesting to see. Like it's like this one

40
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: part of Twitter that seems very bipartisan because you see

41
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: like people tweeting who are clearly like onesome rows Twitter ship,

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: Like Yeah, we're holding on for dear life, total gang,

43
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: we're out here. And then even like when you look

44
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: at the trending topic beneath that will be like someone

45
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: with an avatar of Trump like hugging the American flag

46
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: and they're like, we're getting the hedge. See look at that.

47
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: That's That's the one thing that I think the powers

48
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: that be don't want people to realize, Like, no, they're

49
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: most of y'all. It's on the same page. Yeah, the

50
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: Wall Street Bets, the Wall Street Bets subreddit has figured

51
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: out something that neither political party has been able to

52
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: figure out, that the thing that everybody doesn't like is

53
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: the system that is fucking them over. But watching parties

54
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: sit on their ass and just like move numbers around

55
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: in their phone and be like yeah, alright and done

56
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: for the days just cleared. Cool. Yeah, anyways, this will

57
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: this will be interesting because this one actually like I

58
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: do think the box office is opening up a little bit,

59
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Like uh a Jason staitha movie over the weekend, Wrath

60
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: of Man cleared like nine million dollars, I think, which

61
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: is the official Like how much had Jason Staith movie

62
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: always makes? Like that is just the rule for when

63
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: you're releasing adjacent Staithan movie, so it's pretty respectful. It

64
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: suggests that, like if they started releasing a normal slate

65
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: of movies, people would be going to the movies. So

66
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know why I said that with

67
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: the inflection of Bill Cosby, but people would be going

68
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: to the movies. Uh anyways, gumpy or yeah, yeah, it

69
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: was a little we know, yeah, New York mayoral interviews.

70
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: What what's going on here specifically, because you know, we

71
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: always look, we're in a moment in in this country

72
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: around the world where many people they decided they do

73
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: not want sub subsistence wages, to toil while others, you know,

74
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: reap the benefits of exploiting their labor. And you know,

75
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: we need leadership. We need people who understand what things cost,

76
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: what the lived experiences of everyday Americans, and in this

77
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: specific example, New Yorkers. Because these people are running for

78
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: the mayor of New York. So the New York Times

79
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: they do interviews with the candidates like they do presidential candidates,

80
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: so they can come to a determination if they're going

81
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: to endure someone. And a couple of the answers really

82
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: struck stuck out at people because you know, affordable housing

83
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: is a huge issue in this country. Um. And the

84
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: answers of these people who are running for mayor of

85
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: New York City is they should almost be disqualified for

86
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: being so out of touch. So the first person up

87
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: is Sean Donovan. He served as the HUD secretary okay,

88
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: and budget and Urban Development. Yes, like housing is his

89
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: expert understanding how we developed that, how we can create

90
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: more equitable outcomes. And this was under Trump presumably President

91
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Obama and the budget director under Obama. Okay, so he

92
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: knows money. Let me add one more losing commissioner under Bloomberg.

93
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: The mayor gets it. He gets it at the very

94
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: least he gets housing in New York and why he

95
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: is running to be your mayor New York Easy is

96
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: just going straight into his brain. Zillow, Redfinn. He's Maine

97
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: snorting lines up of that ship every day. He knows

98
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: what chick costs. So Mar Gray at the New York

99
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Times editorial board asking him, thanks, do you know happen

100
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: to know what the median sales price for a home

101
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: is in Brooklyn right now? His answer in Brooklyn, Huh,

102
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure. I would guess around it

103
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: is around one hundred thousand dollars. Gay, it's nine hundred

104
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and he answers median home including apartments. Oh.

105
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: Later on the The New York Times notes in a

106
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: parenthetical mystery on him in later email to say that

107
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: is one thousand dollar answer referred to the assessed value

108
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: of homes in Brooklyn. Quote. I really don't think you

109
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: can buy a house in Brooklyn today for that little

110
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: he wrote, But you you clearly thought you could. Sure,

111
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: So there's thousand dollars is what you need to own

112
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn? Yeah, that is as off as the banana

113
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: quote from Arrested Development, Like what could have banana cost

114
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: eleven dollars? Yeah? Is Ray McGuire. He gets the black

115
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: man who is the city bank executive. He definitely he

116
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: said a lot about you know, like he what the

117
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: ills of the city in parts of the cities that

118
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: need help, the bank of the city. He's in the streets.

119
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: He's in the streets talking to people about their their

120
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: problems and you know, helping them with their money. Presuming

121
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: also I want to be here, Mary, Yeah, I worked

122
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: at a fucking predatory bank who used to handle slave

123
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: money back in the day. I don't know. But look,

124
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I want to be your mayor, Mary

125
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: Gaye coming through um. What is the meding sales price

126
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: for a sales price for a home in home or

127
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: apartment in Brooklyn? He his answer, in Brooklyn that number

128
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: has gone up now it depends on where in Brooklyn.

129
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Mar Gate just average for the borough, the median do

130
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: you know it? It's gotta be somewhere in the eighties

131
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: and ninety dollars, if not higher. Sales price for a

132
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: home in Brooklyn is nine hundred thousand dollars. His answer,

133
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: nine hundred. I Mario Gate, what him? I'm sorry this

134
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: apologizing to his handlers presumably really yeah, girl apologized. And

135
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: this is the problem because we had people writing policy

136
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: where they think, for eighty thousand dollars you could own

137
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: a brownstone in Brooklyn. You know, this could be a

138
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: whole like website, a whole like channel on YouTube where

139
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: you just interview rich people and ask them how much

140
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: they think stuff costs. Yeah, this is that is wonderful.

141
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: It shows you just how much wealth completely takes your

142
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: head out of the game in terms of like because

143
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: at that point truly right. I'd imagine if you have

144
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: a million dollars just passively sitting like your liquid million

145
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: dollars liquid, Like why would you ever know what anything costs?

146
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Like presumably you have all these money managers. You know,

147
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: whatever you desire is being handled to a certain extent,

148
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: and you just flash your plastic square at things and

149
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: you get it. So it's just really fuckingh again. I

150
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: think this really underscores that we need more people to

151
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: run for office and also work in government that actually

152
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: understand of this means. I have friends who work in government,

153
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: and the stories that I have to hear of them

154
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: like the horror where they're like, you know, talking about, well,

155
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: we need to like what's our plan for getting people computers,

156
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: like under under service people in our community computers. And

157
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: they have people who are there, like like social workers

158
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: who are saying, well, maybe we should probably do some

159
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of like uh, like I make sure they're searching

160
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: for like jobs like means testing and things like they

161
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: like you have people who are social who are still

162
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: talking about means testing for people in need, Like there

163
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: are so many obstacles even if you are someone of

164
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: good faith and have a vision to help your community.

165
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: There's still so many people who just take these jobs

166
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: who really aren't interested in the outcome or just don't

167
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: have the ability to empathize that. I'm hoping. Yeah, if

168
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: you've thought of getting involved, I'm telling you people like it.

169
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: It's this. This is the kind of ship that you know,

170
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: creeps into our city halls and our halls of government.

171
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: People just see, speaking of means testing bullshit? Did you

172
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: see that the Biden administration wants to make it uh

173
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: disqualifying to collect unemployment benefits if you turn down know,

174
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: if you turn down a job that is like the

175
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: same or equip to what you had before, to the

176
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: job you lost at the beginning of the pandemic. Never

177
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: mind that like more than any year, like this past

178
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: year has completely changed people's circumstances. You are required to

179
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: take the same job you had before because otherwise the

180
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: Republicans will be me into Joe Biden. I guess yeah,

181
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: because he wants to go you know, very Clintonian of him,

182
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: testing welfare queen type fucking myth keep that ship alive

183
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: when all we're seeing is like this very interesting labor

184
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: movement also occur across the country where people are like hey, man,

185
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: come Workipotle. Fuck, you could make six figures at some point.

186
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: We get it. We gotta pay y'all. Fuck right, um,

187
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: And then you still have a president who's gonna side

188
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: with these business owners and be like, no, I get it,

189
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: so we'll put the squeeze on our end to make

190
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: sure they come to take their sub subsistence wages from you.

191
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: Just think about like how difficult that is to litigate,

192
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: Like you have to track down like how much somebody

193
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: was making before. Okay, they said no to this job.

194
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: They won't come back, so then you have to like

195
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: have people chasing down people who said no to a

196
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: job of making sure that they It's like that's so

197
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: much waste effort when you could just give the people

198
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: the fucking money that they need to survive. Like that.

199
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: People aren't just sitting on their ass like you always

200
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: you always say like in the center and like center

201
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: right there, like people want to work. Well, if you

202
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: trust them to want to work, then give them. Let

203
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: let them just make that decision on the It's just

204
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: this weird moment where government is providing more in terms

205
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: of a social security or a social net safety net

206
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: for people then private businesses in terms of wages, So

207
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: what is that telling you? And I think again, any

208
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: fucking human being who didn't have one I on worrying

209
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: about if their phone is blowing up because the lobbyists

210
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: are just being like, we're just talking about raising the

211
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: more you actually mind, that's what needs to happen, Like,

212
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: we have to we have to make some we have

213
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: to create some kind of standard because you even here

214
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: people still bring up that tired aus point like minimum

215
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: wages for like people who are like in high school

216
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: and ship like that's what it used to mean, but

217
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: that's not where we're atting. People have to support families,

218
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: and profits seem to be going up. The growth seems

219
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: to be happening, but just not for the people that

220
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: are making it possible. Like again, it would be great

221
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: to uh, it would be great to also do that

222
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: test of like how much do you think college costs today?

223
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: To uh, like people who are older who are like,

224
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: don't don't forgive student debt, like ask the boomer generation

225
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: like assuming they don't have kids, who's they just had

226
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: to pay through college? Like uh, because you know, like

227
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: they all worked their way through college on like having

228
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: low paying jobs, right jobs nonetheless that we're somehow able

229
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: to eke out in existence like that. Yeah, like entry level. Yeah, alright,

230
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: Donald Glover is trending because apparently, uh, Donald Glover is

231
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: cancel cancel culture. Ye he's canceled. Thank you sir, goodbye

232
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: at Donald Glover. Um, this is the funniest ship. Man.

233
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: It shows how stupid reaction and reactionary Twitter is because

234
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: he's talking about he was tweeting about the fact that

235
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: he's like, man, TV shows are boring and you know that,

236
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: like we actually there's there's a fear for creators to

237
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: not experiments. So the first he was like, you said,

238
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: so they all so they feel like they can only

239
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: experiment with aesthetic Also because some of them know they're

240
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: not that good. We're getting boring stuff and not even

241
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: experimental mistakes because people are afraid of getting canceled. So

242
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: this is the thing he said. When he that line,

243
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: people took as oh, people don't can't be edged lords

244
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: anymore because they're afraid of being canceled. He's talking about

245
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: in the context of TV shows, that people are afraid

246
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: to make mistakes for their show to be canceled. Like

247
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: where why we started? Fuck it? I don't. I mean,

248
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: there the people who are anti cancel culture are so

249
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: desperate to have somebody who is culturally relevant on their

250
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: side that they this is where they're at. Well, he said,

251
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of applies to what we're talking about,

252
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, mum. But you know that fucking New York

253
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: Post picks that up and immediately Donald Glover fear of

254
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: cancel culture is creating boring TV. Oh wow, No, it's

255
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: not what he said. He didn't say canceled culture. Okay,

256
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: some of TV shows being not being renewed at the

257
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: end of their run of the season, that's what we mean.

258
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: But hey, you know, maybe they'll accidentally like encounter good

259
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: culture as they're like casting about for some like cultural

260
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: relevancy for like the anti maybe they'll like actually watch

261
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: Atlanta and learn something. Yeah, like this singular tweet convinced

262
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: like all these mag people like man Atlanta. It's I've

263
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I didn't really I didn't think entertainment could function like

264
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: that and kind of make a statement at the same time. Yeah,

265
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: I like that one episode about the white guy who

266
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: lives by himself and in the mansion. That was kind

267
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: of cool. Guy. Yeah, he seemed he seemed neat. I

268
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah. Uh. And finally, students for Trump, No,

269
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: not the thing Jeffrey Epstein used to be in charge of.

270
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Committee of uh, like the group

271
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: where that was like college students that were supposed to

272
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: support Donald Trump. I saw them kicking around during the

273
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: Trump administration. I was always like, wait, there are huh

274
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: students for Trump, older people posing as students for Trump.

275
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: That's what I assumed. But then you see these people

276
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: and there's like a some young, young looking people. So anyways,

277
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: the leader of that, John Lambert, just got sentenced to

278
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: thirteen years. He was he's twenty five. Uh. And he

279
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: was pretending to be Eric Pope of the Manhattan based

280
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: firm Pope and Done for a number of years starting

281
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. So you know, he was inspired. He

282
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: was like, we can do anything. Uh. He falsely claimed

283
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: to be a graduate of m y U Law School

284
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: with a finance degree from you Pen and fifteen years

285
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: of experience in corporate and patent law. Uh. And he

286
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: so he was running the scam from twenty sixteen to

287
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty eight team, which targeted people who had little or

288
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: no experience seeking legal advice. Victims sought Lambert's help through

289
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the freelancing website up Work, where he earned at least

290
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: forty six thousand dollars by get legally advice that he

291
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: was quote totally unqualified to give. Uh. She The judge

292
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: noted that one victim had expected Lambert, posing as the

293
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: lawyer Eric Pope, to help with a credit problem. Mr

294
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: Lambert took his money and did nothing. He did not

295
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: even have the common decency to make up an excuse

296
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: and tell the victim to hire another attorney. That's that's

297
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: just lazy scamming um. But that's you know, that's what

298
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: that privilege does to these scammers. Man so weak with it.
