1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Stranger

Speaker 1: Things Sees trend four Um, which is gonna. You know,

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: some of these don't read that well exactly when you're

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: looking on your phone. But it is what it is.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: It's what it's. Uh. My name is Jack and I'm

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: thrilled to be joined by super producer Becca Rama. Hello, Hello, Hello,

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us. Miles is out on assignment,

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: out and about on assignment in these streets. Let's let's

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: tell the people what's trending, shall we. Uh. There has

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: been a verdict and the Depth Herd trial Johnny depp one,

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: Um the million dollars awarded to him by the jury. Um,

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Amber heard, I think brought a bunch of like things

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: against him and won one of those. She gets two million.

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: So I'm just doing some quick math here. Actually, I'm

15
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna you'll need to get back to me. I can't.

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: I can't do that kind of math. But um, it

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: seems like he got more. Uh, and it is being

18
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: held up as a victory for men's rights activists. Um.

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: Things like hashtag men too are trending. Um. Also like

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: we want also, Marilyn Manson started trending. I feel like

21
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: in relation to Johnny Depp and all this stuff, like

22
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: is that next with Yeah, I think that's the like,

23
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: that is the danger of this that some of the

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: people who are pointing out that I ever heard the case,

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: like some of her stories, some of the details of

26
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: her story like seemed to be coming into questions in

27
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: in the evidence around this case. And a journalist I

28
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: like made the case that like this doesn't have broader implications,

29
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: but I think I think it does because it is

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: being taken that way by the by the men's rights movement. Um,

31
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: it's being super like it is saturating the culture. And

32
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: then also from a legal standpoint, this is showing other

33
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, predators, like a strategy to to use. Yeah,

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, like y'all mentioned when you covered the

35
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: story last week or so, you know, they purposely had

36
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: the trial in not California, where there are more rights

37
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: for women in like domestic disputes, So I think there's

38
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: something to be said about that. A lot of you know,

39
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: like hearing like this is about great lawyers and you know,

40
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: technicalities and all of those things. So it's like I

41
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: have on my side at least also a hashtag of

42
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: like believe all women because, like you said, there is

43
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: implications here for them to movement. And like just because

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: amber Heard didn't come in with a sweeping victory doesn't

45
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: mean like she wasn't also still live in Yeah, and

46
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I think just generally, like to a lot of the

47
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: people who I was reading, who are like, her story

48
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: has some holes, but like still it's a really like

49
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: high burden of proof to prove that somebody was defamed,

50
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and so like she's still probably not going to lose

51
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: this case. Like, just something to keep in mind is, um,

52
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: when it is a white man versus somebody who's not

53
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: a white man, and when that white man owns a island, um,

54
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: those are usually indicators that the benefit of the legal

55
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: system will will be going towards that person. Um. Amber

56
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Heard was there in the courtroom in person um, But

57
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp was in the UK. He claimed that he

58
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: was he had a prior obligation because of his career.

59
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: I think he was just playing guitar at like dive bars.

60
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Cheryl Samberg is trending. She's the lean in mom right, Um,

61
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: she didn't she really? Is that not? No? That is yeah,

62
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: you're right. I was thinking of gosh, what's that other

63
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: one that a lot of women love? That's right now?

64
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: Samberg is like the o G girl boss um and

65
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: was you know Mark Zuckerberg's number two at Facebook. She

66
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: has announced she will be leaving Meta Facebook as CEO

67
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: and will be replaced by their chief growth officer, which

68
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: is kind of what got us them into trouble in

69
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: the first places. That they're single mindedly about growth. The

70
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: only only thing they care about is growth. Um, and

71
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: we have like genocide and uh, you know, horrifying things

72
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: as a result of of their single purpose nous of Like,

73
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: I just we just have to make sure we're constantly

74
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: growing at all costs. Yeah, it's I don't know, Yeah,

75
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's a thing. It's happening. I mean,

76
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: genes are happening at Facebook. I think Meta is still weird.

77
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll ever be able to get

78
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: over like the gravitas of the name Facebook. But we'll

79
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: see what this cheap growth officer does. Probably more bad

80
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: than good. M hmm do you think I don't know?

81
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna grow and grow and it's gonna be good.

82
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: We're all gonna all gonna be in one happy meta

83
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: verse together. I do feel like I'm like hearing less

84
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: about meta stuff, um, but still hearing about it in

85
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: like pretty legit things and like and here is our

86
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: metapors strategy. Yeah, so like it's it does seem like

87
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, this is gonna be a thing

88
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: whether you care, whether you like it or not. That's

89
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: the thing. Uh. Liam Payne is trending. Uh. You asked

90
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: if I knew who that was. I said I did not.

91
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: Jack asked me what was going on on TikTok, and

92
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I was like, actually, I do have a story of

93
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: what's going on on TikTok, because all I see right

94
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: now are videos of Lampagne famously from One Direction, having

95
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: really bad hot takes on podcast with Logan Paul, which

96
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: like you who let him be in the airwaves. But

97
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: also I'm like, Liam Payne is still relevant, question mark.

98
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: I was never a one direction er. I do not

99
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: know enough about the one Direction saga, that break up whatever.

100
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: All I know is that when I think one Direction now,

101
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm like Harry Style's Zane Malik and like that saying

102
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even think about the rest

103
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: of them. So uh, yeah, Basically he went on Logan

104
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: Paul's podcast and podcast called Impulsive fifty times as popular

105
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: as this one, I'm assuming, and probably eight times were toxic.

106
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: So um. But like his biggest hot take was just

107
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: like talking about Zane and his family and all this like, um,

108
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: like Zane doesn't love his father, he doesn't love his family,

109
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: when like there's just so much evidence that that is

110
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: not true, you know, like accusation are exactly. It's like

111
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: it's like do you all even talk anymore? And I

112
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: love his dad, and it's like Zane is like tried

113
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: so hard to be out of the public eye think

114
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: as of late, especially having being a new father. Um.

115
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: But it's like famously Zane when he like started in

116
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: one direction, like the first dollar he made, he bought

117
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: his family a hout. So it's just like kind of weird.

118
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: It's just very telling of how irrelevant his career is

119
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: if he needs to go on a Logan Paul podcast.

120
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: And also if you're wanting to impress Logan Paul of

121
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: all people, you know, maybe you're already in a bad

122
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: place as it is. Um. And just like ship Talk

123
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: one of the most famous one directurers, but he was

124
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: like I was the reason one direction exists, and like

125
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm the it guy, and it's just like I think

126
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: Carro styles in same Maks career says differently, So one doctuers,

127
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: please don't come for me. I'm not one of you,

128
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: not one of you, not one of you. Please, Like

129
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: these are my very mild takes. Besides, we know that

130
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: you probably don't even love your parents. This strange thing

131
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: to accuse somebody of I know. It's like it's like,

132
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean, some people just be talking and it's just like,

133
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: don't like you have nothing to say, just like there's

134
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: no need, there's no need, Like what is this gonna

135
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: do for you to say that out loud? Who does

136
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: that benefit? No? Uh, all right, let's take a quick break.

137
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. And Ellen Musk

138
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: sent out an email to the executives at SpaceX and

139
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Tesla and said, basically, you need to come back to

140
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: the office spend a minimum of forty hours in the

141
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: office per week. Uh. Those who do not do so

142
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: would be fired. The more senior you are, the more

143
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: visible must be your presence. I don't know why writing

144
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: it like he's writing commandments in the Bible. Um, that

145
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: is why I spent so much time in the factory. Uh,

146
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: which reminder that every time he went to a factory,

147
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: they would try to keep black employees out of his

148
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: line of sight so that those on the line could

149
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: see me working along side them, working monitoring. Because it's like,

150
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: what are you helping? Like, are you actually participating? No,

151
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: you're just If I had not done that, SpaceX would

152
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: long ago have gone bankrupt. This is um, I'm seeing

153
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: this like more and more. I don't have the other

154
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: examples in mind, but just the I alone can fix

155
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: it of it all that Trump is obsessed with. I mean,

156
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: it's narcissist. It's like a textbook trade in narcissism. Like

157
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I am the only person because I'm the most important

158
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: person in the room. I'm the smartest person in the room,

159
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: Like no one brain works like my brain. And it's

160
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: like that's just like physically not possible, like to do

161
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: everything by yourself and do it well, like can fix

162
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: it anyways. Um, he's the only reason SpaceX has not

163
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: gone bankrupt. Um, And everybody has to go back to

164
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: the office. Hopefully enough new jobs are opening up that

165
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: people can find work um Or Brian said, fucking Tony stalks. Um,

166
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: that's that's good. That's good. Um. Kate Bush eighties indie musician,

167
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: classic famous, beloved by cool people, is getting is getting

168
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: some attention because her song is featured heavily in He's

169
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Trend four of Stranger Things. And like you were saying,

170
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: you you've watched some of it and you said that,

171
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: like it's one of the first things you hear running

172
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: up that hill. It's definitely, yeah, that is the name

173
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: of the song. It wasn't because someone was running up

174
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: a hill. Uh, it's I'm on episode for this one.

175
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: Spoil um. It is really good. It's definitely within the

176
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: first episode spoiler alert, Mac has her headphones on and

177
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: she's like stalking the halls of the school, like very

178
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: obviously depressed based on everything that happened the last season

179
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: with her brother, and it's like trying to cope with life. Um.

180
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: But that song starts to become more prevalent as like

181
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: each episode, like Stranger Things has a habit of doing

182
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: like I feel like every season they have like a

183
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: main ballad that becomes like the ever present song as

184
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: the season continues, building more and more momentum, and you think, um,

185
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: that people would love if you love an artist to

186
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: hear them on a very famous show that is, you know,

187
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: trying to be authentic to its era. But the Internet

188
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: says we're wrong. Jack. Yeah, as a younger person, I'm

189
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: curious for your like how common this sentiment is to you,

190
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: because when I was growing up, this was how everybody

191
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: treated their favorite musicians. Is like they were cool until

192
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: other people found out about them, and then they would

193
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: get mad when other people liked the band they liked.

194
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: And I thought I was associated with like our early

195
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: nineties sort of you know, economic sensitivity and like feeling that, uh,

196
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: selling out is wrong like whatever, like kind of propelled

197
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: the grunge movement to becoming a thing. Like Yeah, I

198
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: feel like that was present in how people thought about music.

199
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: But since then, like I feel like these days we're

200
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: all just like, yeah, man, get your bag, like we're

201
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: I want you to be successful because you are. I

202
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: like what you do. I do think it like it

203
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: depends on like I think the artists and like what

204
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: it is, because I do think when I was younger

205
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: and I was emo, I was that girl. I was like,

206
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, Like, for instance, the Twilight soundtrack famously

207
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: a lot of indie stuff on the O G Twilight movie,

208
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, people are gonna

209
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: know the fans I listened to like these are my

210
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: songs that sounds like good and you would have never

211
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: known if you'd never watched Twilight. You're doing a lot

212
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: of good. I like working kind of smoothing your eyebrows

213
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: and being sad. I think I'm picturing some eye makeup

214
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: that was around black eyeliner. I had, like the straightened bangs.

215
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: I was full um. But now I'm very much like,

216
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: oh if I think like an indie artist is, you know,

217
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: coming up and like really dope, I'm like sharing their stuff.

218
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm like very much making sure like my community knows

219
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: like this person's dope. Go support them. I help they

220
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: get their bag. And I think it's about kind of

221
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: what you're saying, Jack, but like authenticity of like selling out.

222
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: But I think we have such had such a flip

223
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: and capitalism and like our perspective and capitalism that we're

224
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: now like you know what, like this place sucks, get

225
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: your money, like like if that's what it takes, like

226
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: and your quality of music or whatever your art form

227
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: is is still good then, like do what's best for you? Like, well,

228
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: who am I to say some little person, like as

229
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: long as I'm still enjoying your stuff, Like why does

230
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: it matter if you like sold out to like whatever.

231
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: But people I think I just like are striving for

232
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: that sense of like superiority and individualism. It's like, oh no,

233
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: like now other people like it, Like I'm no longer

234
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: like the epitome of culture, Like culture is already set

235
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: by this thing that I liked, right yeah, I mean,

236
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: and so much of the like fringe culture back then

237
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: has become the mainstream culture, like Marvel, yeah, and Star

238
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: like Star Wars, I guess was always pretty popular, but

239
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: like it wasn't. It wasn't something you like owned up to,

240
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: like you know, it was like I'm not a door Okay.

241
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean I remember watching like that seven show. It

242
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: was like such a point that I was like, oh

243
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: my god, you're a weirdo for liking Star Wars. Eric Like,

244
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: it was like a thing that it was like not

245
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: cool to be the Star Wars fan, like, and now

246
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: it's like at Disney World it's a main attraction. Yeah. Um, anyways,

247
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: let's read a couple of the quotes though. Um, uh,

248
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: if y'all start calling Kate Bush's music the Stranger Things songs,

249
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm Gonna Kill You threatened one user? Um, and uh wait,

250
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: everyone's finding out about Kate Bush because of Stranger Things.

251
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: Oh you piste me off so bad. I don't even know,

252
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: like what is happening in that. It's like, there's so

253
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: many other things to be mad about and this is

254
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: not one of them. And also that is how I

255
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: would have written a Facebook like, what's it called status update? Yeah,

256
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: it might be seven years old, but it's a weird

257
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: combination like being seven and also being really into and

258
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: then other people are like, I really I can like

259
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: this song. It's really good. Thank you Kate Bush, Thanks

260
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Stranger Things for putting it in my life. Yeah. And finally,

261
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: we of course need to talk about pride corporatism. Um.

262
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: You know, Disney has released their Pride collection, so it

263
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: is Pride Month. Yeah, happ your Pride month to our

264
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: listeners June one. And this this is many corporations chanced

265
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: to change their logos to incorporate rainbow colors and do

266
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: nothing else. Um, but Disney has made some small progress

267
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: in the sense that they last year they just called

268
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: it like Rainbow Mickey and Rainbow Month at Disney, and

269
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: now they're calling it Pride Month. Um, so it's mother

270
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: rainbow months. What are you talking about. It's just a

271
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: month where we all like a short appreciation for rainbows.

272
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: Disney is always like they don't even I didn't realize this, like,

273
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: because it's so established at this point. I assumed that

274
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, Pridday at Disney, where you know a lot

275
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: of like LGB E t Q plus people go to

276
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: Disneyland or Disney World. It's very much a thing. Yeah,

277
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: so they I didn't realize. Disney has a quote neutral

278
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: stance on gay days, uh, which is seen as an

279
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: improvement since they used to post signs at the entrance

280
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: to Magic Kingdom alerting guests that a large number of

281
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: homosexuals were inside the park. So that's that's not good.

282
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: This is the way my jaw dropped us. Now what

283
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: alert alert alert? In France, of course, they host a

284
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: lavish pride parade at Disneyland, or they did in twenty

285
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: nineteen and the pandemic happened, but people are expecting a

286
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: return to that. But in in these United States, they

287
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: have to treat it like it's a aberrinthe um. You know,

288
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the collection. It's very I mean, it's

289
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: giving very corporate pride like. It's just like a bunch

290
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: of stuff with like rainbow print on it, like the

291
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: famously I know in the image on the dock here

292
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: the Lilo and Stitch Pride doll, which is weird that

293
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: that is the only one. And I don't know if

294
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: it's because like Lilo is an alien, so he's like

295
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: or there. I mean, I guess Lelo's technically gender neutral.

296
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, um, or like because Lilo doesn't have

297
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: a presenting gender because it's an alien. Like. Well, they

298
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: also have Mickey Mouse. They do have Mickey, but like,

299
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing the Mickey stuff. Well, I guess it

300
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: says check back soon in the Mickey on the actual

301
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: like Disney Pride like collection just still slowly slowly um.

302
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: The collection was created by l G T p q

303
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: I A plus employees and allies at the Walt Disney

304
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: Company and is a reflection of their incredible contributions in

305
