Yeah, your blue shirt? Your blue shirt, blue shirt? Uh? 34 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: What is? What's something you think is overrated? Andy? This 35 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: takes a little bit of explaining, but the concept of 36 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: genius in the twenty one century, and I'm mostly tread carefully, sir, 37 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: some of us, yes, except okay, so accepting let's let's 38 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: pretend that I'm not talking about mensa, all right, And 39 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: what I am talking about is, uh, someone like Elon Musk, 40 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: who is what I will say, is a dumb dipshit 41 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: who got lucky. But this is the thing to be 42 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: born into a ruby mine emerald. I looked it up, 43 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: so I was born in a ruby. I wanted to 44 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: mind by ps and cues because I didn't want anyone 45 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: to come for me on this one, because I know, 46 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: like if you if you criticize Elon Musk, a bunch 47 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: of people that will never have any money and have 48 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: no connection, have no connection, that's what his fans are called. 49 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: They are No, I just made it. I love it, 50 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: bro fighting. I'm just thinking of that movie Tusky Airmen 51 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: with Laurence Fishburne is less seen at the fucking cockpit anyway. 52 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, So, but tell me about the twenty Are 53 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: you talking about more of like a classical like in 54 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: the antiquities era idea of what genius was and that 55 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: people had a genius versus people being a genius. No, 56 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: just the twenty like in the twentieth century. Okay, well, 57 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: think of the people that like are called genius now 58 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: it's uh dummies like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos. 59 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: These are people who like just invested money like they 60 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: were wealthy, like Elon Musk had had family wealth from 61 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: an emerald mine. All right. Uh, he dropped out of 62 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: physics PhD program after two days and all he's done 63 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: is invest his money. I didn't I was about to say, well, 64 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: but I think he's just invested his money and got lucky. 65 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: And then he has backdated his ego, right, and he says, well, 66 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: because I'm rich, I must be a genius. And then 67 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: everyone like agrees that, oh these people, but they must 68 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: be geniuses because they're wealthy as opposed to like they've 69 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: exploited all their labor, or they had family wealth in 70 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: the first place, or they got lucky. But like I 71 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: was thinking about, like that's genius though, that they did 72 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: that twenty century. Who do we call Geniuss Einstein, right, 73 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: Neil's bore Um, Picasso, Watson, Crick and Franklin right, Uh, 74 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: James Joyce, like people who either scientific like change the 75 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: scientific paradigm, changed the literary artistic paradigm in some way. 76 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: Those were geniuses, um, And now it's like a dude 77 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: who buys a ski do factory, And I feel like 78 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: that it's just all about like how effectively you managed 79 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: to mythologize yourself. Because I'm sure that there are like 80 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: some people that we have like historically labeled as geniuses 81 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: who aren't. Like there's like I feel like Edison is 82 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: a really good example of that, where like more than 83 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: a basic snuff test reveals that he was like in 84 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: many ways a total fraud. Uh what was he, Jamie? 85 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: He's just like these ship as. Yeah. Right, So it's 86 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: just like if you're able to, if you're able to 87 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: afford to effectively mythologize yourself, you'll probably get away with it. 88 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: Edison is the on Musk of the twentieth century. Yeah, 89 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: I was just thinking of No, just like the way 90 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: we use the term genius as compared to antiquity. When 91 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: like that concept of genius emerged is that people had 92 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: a genius in which it was something external that would 93 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: visit them to inspire this like great work out of 94 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: these people. And over time we began to sort of 95 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: coop that with our egos and narcissism and begin that 96 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: wording became someone was a genius, that person is a 97 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: genius rather than has a genius. And I think it's 98 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: interesting just to even think about how you might create 99 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: things because people you look at somebody would be like 100 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: if you're music, like, oh I love you know, fucking 101 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: Johnny Greenwood he's a genius or whatever, like what does 102 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: he do? Or but it is Johnny Greenwood thinking that 103 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: he's a genius, or is is it more about inspiration 104 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: that you are opening yourself and allowing yourself to create 105 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: things and that's where that's where it comes out, rather 106 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: than like I think people put this pressure on themselves 107 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: be like if I want to be a genius, then 108 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to do exactly our first. The way we 109 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: used to even articulate this concept was that like someone 110 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: opens themselves up to some truths that they are able 111 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: to then interpret by how open they are, rather than 112 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: like they fucking got it, this guy's got the genius. 113 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: Why do you think I took my name off a DreamWorks? 114 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: The way i've I've found that term used a lot 115 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: is just like it is like a narcissistic thing, but 116 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: it also is like I feel like, sometimes used to 117 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: remove your like remove accountability from your own behavior and actions, 118 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: like in the case of Elon Musk and in the 119 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: case of just like a lot of the mental people 120 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: that I was talking to back in the day, it's 121 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: just like a situation of like, oh, this person is 122 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: behaving erratically, they're they're making bizarre choices, and then it's 123 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: just like, oh, well, they're a genius, so you just 124 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: don't get what they're doing. It's like, no, they could 125 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: conceivably just be being an asshole or or acting weird. 126 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: And then but if you are able to like label 127 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: yourself as greater than you're, like, you couldn't possibly understand 128 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: why I'm exploiting my workers, You're just like, let's not 129 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: forget I mean, right now we have a very stable 130 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: genius exactly very similar situation. Yeah. Yeah. I think the 131 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: way that American particular commodifies like and commodifies narcissism and 132 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: like makes people think that they are the genius rather 133 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: than they are transmitters of a genius is there are 134 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: a lot of American authors who just write one great 135 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: thing and our herald is as geniuses and then like 136 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: never write anything again because there's like there's something just 137 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: like toxic and unnatural and incorrect about that. Whereas I 138 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: feel like other countries are just like I'm applying a 139 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: craft where I'm you know, a I'm channeling something higher 140 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: than myself. Does a sophomore album curse. I wonder if 141 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: that's unique to American music, or if we looked at 142 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: is the curse of the sophomore album like globally embraced 143 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: as like a law of creativity, you know what I mean? 144 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: Because I'm to your point, Jack about this emphasis. You 145 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: do one thing, or you come out with this work early, 146 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: then the this the expectation of like the subsequent works 147 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: just becomes like exponentially higher to the point where like 148 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: you have no way to compare it really, But I'm 149 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: but then also there are some objective sophomore efforts where 150 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, you clearly got a lot of money 151 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: and stopped giving a funk. But I'm I wonder culturally 152 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: if that's something like we yeah us and are like, 153 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's not how you burn out. Yeah. I 154 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: do feel like it's a tendency that Americans have that 155 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: doesn't really exist as much exceptionalism. Yeah yeah, what is 156 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: something that you think is underrated? Kate Um, I'm gonna 157 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: talk about a director that I kind of discovered this 158 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: year and I'm still working her filmography. But it's funny 159 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: to me, during this quarantine time, everybody is talking about 160 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: like comfort food movies and especially Nancy Myers movies, but 161 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: one of my big discoveries this year is a director 162 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: named Joan Micklin Silver who made some of the best 163 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: romantic comedies I've ever seen. Um. I would say the 164 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: two best movies to start with her are a movie 165 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: called Crossing de Lancey, which is just this really low 166 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: key romantic comedy from the eighties with Amy Irving, and 167 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: she somehow makes Peter Regert into like the sexiest man 168 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: alive in this movie. Don't ask me how. He plays 169 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: a character named the pickle Man and by the end 170 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: of the movie you're like, where is my pickle Man? 171 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: And she but you know, the flip of that is 172 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: she has another film called Chili Scenes of Winter that 173 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: is about kind of you know, uh, a hapless twenty 174 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: something who falls in love with a married woman and 175 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: things do not go well. Uh. And that's with John 176 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: Hurd and Mary Beth Hurt and it is from the seventies. 177 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: But she's really awesome. She made movies all throughout the 178 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: eighties and nineties. Uh, some stuff that you know, on 179 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: its face looks like horn dog comedies like lover Boy 180 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: with Patrick Dempsey, and then you watch it and you're like, oh, 181 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: this is a movie about how women's sexual desires are 182 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: not prioritized and how their emotional lives are not shown 183 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: on screen. So she's really dope. She's still alive. If 184 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: you can seek out any of her movies, highly recommend it. 185 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: During quarantine, Um, she's dope. Wow, Love Her Boy. I 186 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: didn't realize Lover Her Boy was that uh deep. I've 187 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: like seen various moments of Lover he Boy, but that 188 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: that's the pizza delivery one right where like, yeah, yeah, 189 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: I guess it's based on a true story of a 190 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: of a guy in Beverly Hills who was like delivering 191 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: pizzas to rich ladies and was sleeping with them. But 192 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: it starts off in that sort of like eighties raunchy 193 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: mode and then like by the middle of the movie, 194 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: you have all the women he's visiting giving these like 195 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: tearful monologues about how nobody like pays attention to them. 196 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: Then they're just like trapped in these mansions and you're like, Okay, 197 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: one movie am I watching? Um, but she's I don't 198 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: know her movies all kind of do that. You think 199 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: you're getting one thing, and then by the end you're like, 200 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: this is very different than I thought. It was going 201 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: to be, isn't it, Christie Ally, you think that you 202 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: ever had notes are like after these women, I don't know, 203 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: like when they say these long winded things, can Patrick 204 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Dempsey's be like, Hey, so we're gonna funk or what 205 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: or something kind of lighten it after that? I don't 206 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: know what's going on here. It is funny because in 207 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: the movie you have those scenes and then it's like 208 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: back to the pizza parlor work amazing. I realized that 209 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: he that Patrick Dempsey was in in eighties Round com 210 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: makes me realize I have no idea how old Patrick 211 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: Dempsey is, right, I thought he must be very well 212 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: well preserved, because I wouldn't have guessed. Yeah, I think 213 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: he was like a teenager at that point, like the 214 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: point he was a lover boy and not a lover man. 215 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: The one thing I remember that from that is lover man. 216 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: It's just about a guy who has sent uh, this 217 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: is about guy who fox. The one thing I remember 218 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: is that extra anchovies was the order right that they 219 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: used to signal that he was because they knew it 220 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: was like so gross that nobody else would order that. Anyways, 221 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: A little lover boyfriend. What a time to be alive 222 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: the eighties. Fun fact Jack always orders extra anchovies. That 223 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: is where my order comes from. Ye, just hoping that 224 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 1: maybe this will come back and fash him. What is 225 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: a myth with something people think is true that you 226 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,479 Speaker 1: know to be false or vice versa um. Maybe controversial, 227 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: but I think Napoleon's personal life is way more interesting 228 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: than his military career or dictatorship. His family dramas just 229 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: over the top Kardashian level type ship and give us 230 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: some hits. Well, my favorite is his love letters to Josephine, 231 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: Like he explicitly states he can't wait to frolic through 232 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: her little black forest. So that yeah, yeah, so there's that. 233 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean pubes hit, Yeah, her pubes Napoleon went down. 234 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: He was a generous lover. I thought he was tigned 235 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: with the drink at Coffee Bean. They did that after 236 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: I thought about the ham button. Wasn't he really into 237 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: uh like body odor? He was? He was very pheromone sensitive. Yeah, 238 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: I guess he didn't shower very much. Like. He had 239 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: very slick and oily hair, almost in cell level when 240 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: he met Josephine because she was actually part of uh, 241 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: the upper middle class and almost died in the Revolution 242 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: but missed the guillotine by a couple of days or something. 243 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: So he hooked onto her for her class status, but 244 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: he hadn't had a partner before her, and like totally 245 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: was into it, totally was in love with her. Then 246 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: had a messy breakup so he could date I want 247 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: to say, a Princess of Austria. And then after that, 248 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: that's when his family comes in and they want titles, 249 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: they want land. They were bickering over who has the 250 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: better status, and it's just a mess. And I I've 251 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: come down a lot of rabbit holes. So the military 252 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: Waterloo whatever, Rosetta Stone fine, but personal life he muff 253 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: dives dive. King Napoleon he did go down, So yeah, 254 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: I feel like his that's one of the great unexplored 255 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:10,479 Speaker 1: like historical docuseries that we we still need the great Napoleon. 256 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: Like the only example we have is from Get Shorty, right, 257 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: the fake um oh Danny that it was like, don't 258 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: get Shorty so much Laterly, I don't even know. I 259 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: don't even know why. I think about Renee Russo a lot, 260 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: and not even because Outburt, but just written general had 261 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: a Renee Russo she popped into my dreams, like as 262 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: a ticket taker somewhere. I was like, okay, you work 263 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: at AMC because I was going to a movie and 264 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: I think it was get I don't know these choir dreams. 265 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: I had a dream that Johnny Depp was my chiropractor. 266 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from, but I was 267 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: okay with it. I woke up feeling all right, new 268 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: day and yeah, and you realized you were wearing one 269 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: of his turquoise bracelets, Like how I beat Shock?

I listen, Jack, I know 285 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: you've seen me drive, but that doesn't mean that I 286 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: had an okay riding dirty.

So the Georgia Department of Driver 291 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: Services or their d m v uh. You know, a 292 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: lot of bureaucratic institutions have just like tremendous backlogs of 293 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: like applications and paperwork when legal cases, liquor licenses, whatever. 294 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: It's just because it's not moving right now and no 295 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: one's out there. But so to deal with their backlog 296 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, thanks to the Green New Deal, there's 297 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: a lot of teenagers that had their permits and they're like, yo, 298 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get this fucking license. I want to 299 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: take my driver's test. Let me get in there. On Wednesday. 300 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: Last Wednesday, the state's Department of Drivers Services said that 301 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: they had upgraded nineteen thousand, four hundred eighty three teen 302 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: permits to full on licenses without a test, without a test, 303 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: They just waived the test. I love it, and I 304 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: think goes from like needing your parents in the seat 305 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: next to you, like slamming their foot on an imaginary 306 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: break because they're terrified and think you're driving too fast, 307 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: to just being able to drive on your own whatever 308 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: you want. You know what, Some people don't test. Well, okay, 309 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: those driving tests are culturally biased. Here's the thing. Sometimes 310 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: when someone says don't hit the curb, I hear something 311 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: a little different. And I never passed the test that 312 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: I don't know. This is a great idea, y'all. I 313 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: slipped through the cracks, right, Really, I scared my license. 314 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: I've never took a driver's test. I've been drinking taking 315 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: a driver's test. No, I know you. I know you 316 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: do have a license. I know, and I drive terribly. Okay, Well, hey, 317 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: we don't have to make it hot for you on 318 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: that terribly every day I get i'd be like, thank 319 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: the Lord we made it again, because it'd be touch 320 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: and go on the road for me. But no, I 321 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: went to driver's edge school, but my sister went to 322 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: drivers at school and she did have to take a 323 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: driver's license test. At the end of Drivers at School, 324 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: my driver's at teacher was like, you really need to 325 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: practice more, and then I got my license. O God. 326 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: So I sympathized with these nineteen thousand kids. I hope 327 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: that they'll be all right.

I was like, yeah, yeah, okay, 337 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: I don't even hit people's cars anymore. Major. I guess 338 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: the licensing process is not the dragnet that we're we're 339 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: making it out to be because I also basically failed, 340 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: but because the woman giving me the test was my teammates, 341 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: and I just got through. You got nepotism. I got nepotism. 342 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: Like that, Like that she gave me an eight. She 343 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: gave me the worst score you could possibly give somebody 344 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: without failing them. And like she she would have failed 345 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: me if she didn't feel bad for me. I like 346 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: that the personality angle you get in there, sadness, cute, 347 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: you're probably working some little cuteness to Like I was 348 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: crying the whole time I was trying to get out 349 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: of a ticket. Very pathetic. Really turned up the pathetic. 350 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: Oh man, I remember when I failed mine. I punched 351 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: the dashboard of the car and my dad almost fucking 352 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: his body slamming, and the he's like he's like, he's 353 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: like he's like, that's your fault, Like basically like it's 354 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: that that teacher and I hit the think I mean, 355 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: I'm sucking seventeen or eighteen or whatever. Wild now uh 356 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: and yeah, anyway, I wasn't in a good place. Yes, 357 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: you have a lot of stress around the driver's test. 358 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: My blood pressures going up. My my watch is telling 359 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: me to take a few breaths breathes now. Yeah, anyways, 360 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: take a d drive a couple of clicks. More conservative 361 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: if you live in the Georgia area, guys, be safe 362 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: out there. What is a myth, Catherine, what what's something 363 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: people think it's true you know, to be false or 364 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: vice versa. So the idea of a patient zero, specifically 365 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: as it relates to the HIV epidemic, the COVID bad 366 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: isn't real. Probably not one of the reasons. So there's 367 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: a couple of reasons why patient zero is a false premise. 368 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: In one of them, I think it's so interesting and 369 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: so basic. It's all about linguistics. The doctor who wrote 370 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: up the report about patient zero, he actually didn't write zero. 371 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: He wrote oh, as in, this is our patient who 372 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: was outside of California because they were studying people in California, 373 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: but it got misinterpreted as patient zero, which obviously is 374 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: a way cooler like branding. Right it sounds good, Yeah, 375 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: disease within themselves? Yeah, yeah, I will make it. Because 376 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: the myth is about like a flight attendant, right, yeah, exactly, 377 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: a guy who he was a flight attendant and French 378 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: something French Canadian hum Gaiton Douga I think was his name, 379 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: And the idea was that he was just an absolute 380 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: sex maniac, going from city to city on the airplanes 381 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: and fucking everybody, and that he knew he was sick, 382 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: but he didn't care. He just had to bang constantly. 383 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: So none of that was really true. It's just a 384 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: good story in the sense of like, all it's going 385 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: to get all the conservatives upset, but it's yeah. And 386 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he was actually incredibly helpful 387 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: was studying HIV. It's actually really heartbreaking that he was 388 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: so demonized because the reason he was so helpful was 389 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: because he actually remembered the names of most of the 390 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: people he had sex with, so they were able to 391 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: trace from him, whereas all the other early patients were like, 392 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know who any of these 393 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: people were. So he was like sweet enough to catch 394 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: their names, and then he got in trouble for it essentially, 395 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: so is there he was just noteworthy because he was 396 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: so helpful to researchers, and like there was so much 397 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: written up on him because he was able to help 398 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: do like contact tracing. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. 399 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: And then this book was published a few years after 400 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: he died, called and the Band Played On, which is 401 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: pretty famous I think a documentary version, and the person 402 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: writing it like laid all of the blame for HIV 403 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: essentially on him, And then a few years after that, 404 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: the editor of the book publicly apologized, saying that he 405 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: let the author do that on purpose because he knew 406 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: it would drum up book sales and he knew that 407 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: it wasn't true. Oh damn yeah, not worth it, No, 408 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: not at all. It's crazy. So that's another thing I think, 409 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: like in in these times that looking for a patient zero, 410 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: and I see in the media they'll still do that, 411 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: like patient zero zero or like patient zero of this 412 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: particular outbreak in Chicago. It's like, I don't know, I 413 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: don't know we should be doing that. I don't know 414 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: what benefit there is. I mean maybe just for the 415 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: purposes of scientific data gathering, as like some way to 416 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: just identify, like I think this is where we need 417 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: to look first, but like for the meeting, that concept 418 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: of it, I think is what you're like talking about. 419 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: It is like how we need like who do we blame? Funk? 420 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: Was it who ate? Some weird ship? What the like? 421 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: That's I think what that idea of a patient zero 422 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: helps people do is just be like, funk that person. 423 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: It just builds up their anger. Also, speaking of which 424 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: I want to say that we keep saying wet market 425 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: in America, I think because it sounds gross, so we 426 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: get to think that it's gross. It's a farmer's market. 427 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: If we just called it a farmer's market, people would 428 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: have a clearer idea of what they were talking about, 429 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: and maybe a less racist one. I don't know, maybe 430 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: what why do they call? What? Where did that designation 431 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: of wet market? Like? What do you have to be 432 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: to be have a wet market? I think it's the 433 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: things that they sell there. If I'm remembering correctly, that 434 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: a wet market has meat and the dry market is 435 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: like only um like grains and stuff like that. It's 436 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: a fresh meat, ish produce, imperishable goods. Yeah, the fucking 437 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: farmer's market. There's not a fish not a fishmonger there. 438 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: There's not a meat person there, there's not the every 439 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: person selling produce. Really interesting, Yeah, Yeah, we have to 440 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: move on to some important news because Miles, you've had 441 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: a had a spiritual shift on your relationship to uh 442 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: guy Fiery. Yeah, I mean Guy Fiery. The fear of sons, 443 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: as I call it, has opened my eyes to some 444 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: prejudices that I was holding against this man um you know, 445 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: like the last I feel like eighteen months, I feel 446 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: like the Fiery Sons has been like in full effect, 447 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: where every story that comes out is like, what, guy 448 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: Fear is not a douche bag. I truly think that 449 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: Shane Taurus shout out Shane like started the national waking up, 450 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: the global waking up to the fact that guy Fearing 451 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: never did anything to hurt us.

I'm like, so, 457 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm like okay. And then the reason I bring this 458 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: up now is that, like we found out that there 459 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: was this National Restaurant Association Education Foundation fund that was 460 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: being set up for restaurant employee relief because the food 461 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: industry has been just absolutely fucked by this whole shutdown. 462 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: It's like it's horrific um to the point where most 463 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: rust like I don't know what to do. I don't 464 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 1: know how we reopened. I guess we'll just like just 465 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: go to the wheels come off at this point and 466 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: then we'll go from there. But this fund was meant to, 467 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, help employees receive like a one time five 468 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: dollar check when you apply to use for whatever you need, 469 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: your bills, your rent or whatever. Turns out Guy Fieri 470 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: was on his grizzy because he was banging those phones 471 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: and reaching out to like corporate donors. He knew he 472 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: this dude raised over twenty million dollars for this fund, 473 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: like in a matter of a couple of weeks for it, 474 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: and that means that's like when they break that down, 475 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: that's like forty people who can get this grant because 476 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: of him. And I'm like, yes, I I abandoned like 477 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: guy Fiery sucks maybe a year ago. But I'm like, 478 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: but now, like with this one, I've I've had to 479 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: take another moment, is to just examine what my fiery 480 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: hate was. Was it that? Like it's funny because I'm 481 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: a huge Triple D fan. I love that show. I 482 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: think it's great. I love food. There's not yeah, and 483 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: creates exactly like the amount of business it's created for 484 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: these small these small restaurants is fantastic. Like there's apps 485 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: even dedicated to be like, am I near a thing? 486 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: Guy Fiery has been to um? And now when you 487 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: but then I'm just sort of like, what the funk 488 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: is it? I'm like, was it? It was easy to 489 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: talk ship because he just looked like a dudel was 490 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: spiked tips and ship and I was just like a funk, 491 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: that funk is weird? Flame button ups. I was like 492 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: I had to take a moment and just say like, 493 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: it was Guy Fiery merely there for me to feel 494 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: cool comparatively, and and not only now I waking up 495 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: to my own shallowness as to what my relationship with 496 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: guy Fiery actually is. I don't know. Yeah, that was 497 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: beautiful though that I love this process Like it was 498 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: just weird. I'm like, why the fund do I like? 499 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: Honestly like I like everything he does, aside from me 500 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: being like, okay, I wouldn't dress like that. There. Yeah, 501 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: there's something to be said for like it's easy to 502 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: hate someone doing something very goofy, very confidently. I think 503 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: that it's it's very easy to pile on and then yeah, 504 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: and but it's like if you look at like, well, 505 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: what is that person actually doing? Like what are they 506 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,239 Speaker 1: doing there? Promoting a local business while looking goofy and 507 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: being confident. Then it's just I feel like it's almost 508 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: one of those like I don't know, like you're you're 509 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: sort of cringe on their behalf because they're not going 510 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: to cringe for themselves. But he's fine himself. He seems 511 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: to like himself, and I think that's no exactly like 512 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: insecure people don't like to see secure people do their 513 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: ship because deep down you're like, why you why do 514 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: you have that confidence to look like that? But really, 515 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, it's necessarily like I think I'm speaking for myself, 516 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm speaking for himself. I'm dismansing my own insecurities visa 517 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: via my relationship with Guy Fiery. I think the way 518 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: he entered the kind of collective consciousness is as like 519 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: it's like Larry if Larry the Cable Guy was a 520 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: Mad TV character Guy Fiery was played by That was 521 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: just a different character played by that same like Mad 522 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: TV performer. I feel like they were like it was 523 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: just that same like vibe. So yeah, I just feel 524 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: like he got a bad break from like how he 525 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: came package to two people. But yeah, I mean I agree, 526 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: like judging people by their by their hair is probably 527 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: not fair. Um probably well. Also, I think also I 528 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: had a kind of chip on my shoulder because I 529 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: didn't like the name text was sabis. I was like, 530 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: fuck that, you don't know shit about anything, bro, just 531 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: keeping moving with the fun restaurant. And then and then 532 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: there's that New York Times review of his restaurant in 533 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: Times Square, and I was like, Oh, this guy sucks. 534 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: But it was like from this snarky perspective of like 535 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: food writers who just want to take a dump on 536 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, the food sucks or whatever, but like 537 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: in my mind now I'm like leave. So I actually 538 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: have a different take on that article because that review 539 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: of Guy Fiery's restaurant in New York Times is very famous. 540 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: I thought it was very funny, like it was written 541 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: in a very funny manne. But I think people misunderstand 542 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: what the writer was trying to do because they were 543 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: saying that the writer was being a snob for caring 544 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: that the food wasn't good at that restaurant. But I 545 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: think what the writer was saying was like, people are 546 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: going to come on a special trip to New York 547 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: and they're going to go on a special trip dinner 548 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: to this restaurant and the food is not good and 549 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: you're charging forty tree and you shouldn't do that. And 550 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: I think that was like a different point, but every 551 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: but the way there were way Yeah. I think there 552 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: were some descriptions of the food though that I was like, oh, okay, 553 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I enjoyed this, right, I mean there's 554 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: no doubt, don't get me wrong, But I'm just you know, again, 555 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: all this to say, I'm I'm doing all this introspection now, 556 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: uh to to you know, this is what I'm this 557 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: is the work I'm doing in choir. If I come 558 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: out of here loving Guy Fieri, then I feel like 559 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,479 Speaker 1: I've done my part. You've grown person. Did you know 560 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: that he also fed firefighters and people who lost their house? Yeah, 561 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: he's just a fucking That's what I'm saying. Like, it's weird. 562 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: How did we just sort of reached this like threshold 563 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: where it was no longer? I don't know. I think 564 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: societally we all just begin to be like, yeah, we're 565 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: not whatever. It's Guy Fieri Like, maybe we've all grown. 566 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I will say also that I went 567 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: to a very fancy food event in Las Vegas at 568 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: Caesar's Palace in the pool area, and there's like multiple 569 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: pools there, and at all the pools it was a 570 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: bunch of dressed up people like quietly drinking cocktails. But 571 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: then when you went to Guy Fieri's pool area, that 572 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: was a party. They had like a Guns and Roses 573 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: cover band and like airbrush artists doing work and people 574 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: were in the pool like it wasn't much fun. Scene 575 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: is like scoffing from his side exactly. Yes, I pretty accurate. 576 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: I grew up in a very pro fiery family where 577 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: it was t. G. I Frids that carried his deal. 578 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: Because I remember we like my mom was very enthusiastic 579 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: about Fieri's output and so and she also I'm kind 580 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: of every time I hear his name, I'm wondering where 581 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: she picked this up. But she had this thing where 582 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: she would be like, it's not Fiery, it's Fierti. You 583 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: have to pronounce that the Italian way. You very into him. 584 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: And so we went we went to like t G. 585 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: I fried As, and my mom was like, I would 586 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: like Guy Fiertti's mozzarellistics, Like he's fun. He's like he's 587 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: fun and and The best part is that guy Fiery 588 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: Fiery Fiertti depending on the pronunciation you preferred, doesn't give 589 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: a fuck what we think of him, and that is 590 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: part of why he is himself. He doesn't he someone 591 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: who like you. Just if you're Guy Fieri, you can't 592 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: give a funk what people think of you, or you 593 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: can't be yourself in that way. I think also understanding 594 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: of what Diners, drive Ins and Dives was doing, because 595 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: I know when it started, I think I was in 596 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: my early twenties and I was like, why does he 597 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: like everything? How can he be this enthusiastic about all food? Yeah, 598 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: but now, like I'm smarter and also smarter people than 599 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 1: we have explained it to me. It was totally just 600 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: to keep these businesses going. That's whatever. Yeah, I mean 601 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: if you if you go to John taffa route where 602 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: you travel the country verbally abusing small business owners, that's like, 603 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's just as fun to watch. But 604 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: you're like, this is a less noble endeavor. I mean, 605 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: I hope this is what what that article by Man 606 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: was talking about. How like another way that pandemics influenced 607 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: culture is by uh, you know that there was like 608 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: a peasant revolt after the after the Black Plague. And 609 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that we see and maybe this is like 610 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: emerging class solidarity where like we used to identify, like 611 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: we used to be stratified by like well, I'm a 612 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 1: New York Times reader and looking down on like Guy Fierti, 613 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: And now it's more like we are we are, We're 614 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: all Guy Fiertia. Guy Fox masks, Guy Fierti masks. Yeah, dude, 615 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's there here the macconnaissance.

Uh, alright, guys, let's take a quick break 618 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: and we'll be right back and we're back. Well, speaking 619 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: of dreams, let's talk about Robert Pattinson. You guys, Jamie, 620 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: you read the article. I read the article. Uh this 621 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: so this is uh. I know that like celebrities are canceled, 622 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: but but they're not for real and so so Robert 623 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: Pattinson has a storied history of giving wild as interviews 624 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: because he doesn't like doing interviews and he's he's a 625 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: loose cannon. And I think he's really bored right now. 626 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: So I guess I will I'll before we get into 627 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: the interview he just gave to g Q, which was bananas. Um, 628 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: I'll start by prefacing my previous favorite Robert Pattinson interview stunt, 629 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: which was back in eleven. He was promoting a movie 630 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: called Water for Elephants. It had something to do with 631 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: the circus, uh, and he went on The Today Show 632 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: with Matt Lower and Matt Lower is asking you know, 633 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: bullshit softball morning show questions. He's like, oh, did you 634 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: ever want to join the circus when you were a kid, 635 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: And Robert Pattinson comes out and says, no, the first 636 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: time I went to see the circus, somebody died, one 637 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: of the clowns died. And then and then he goes 638 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: on to say the clowns little car exploded, the joke 639 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: car explode, and he just like this interview ages very 640 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: well because it's also fucking Matt Lower, and he just 641 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: like silenced as Matt Lower, and Matt Lower was like, 642 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: oh the worst. I mean, obviously for the reasons that 643 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: we've learned, but also just the yeah, I guess it's 644 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 1: just like as we don't also, but just he was, Yeah, 645 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: he like his personality and his presence as a media 646 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: like entity. Like I feel like just stopped making just 647 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: fell off a cliff of making sense like ten years ago, 648 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: and now it's like looking back is like, why are 649 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: we letting this smug asshole be like professionally smug and 650 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: professionally an asshole. Anyways, I love Robert Pattinson ever since 651 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: I saw a good time. Oh he's yeah, he's he's 652 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: like a good fun like he gets away with ship 653 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: that It almost makes me because like male actors can 654 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: get away with anything and just be called a genius. 655 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: But that's not Robert Pattinson's fault. That's the culture's fault. 656 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: So anyways, Robert Pattinson comes out like a couple of 657 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: years later and admits that the whole clown thing was 658 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: a lie. He's like, I made the whole thing up. 659 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: Of course it's coming back to haunt me. It was 660 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: really early in the morning. Someone asked me what my 661 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: experience with the circus was, and I was like, I 662 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: have nothing interesting to say. I don't know why I 663 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: said that. So he just lied to Matt Lowerd And 664 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,280 Speaker 1: so in this GQ interview, Robert Pattinson has been plus 665 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: quarantine equals it's going to be a good interview, And 666 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: in the middle of the interview, he brings up that 667 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: he has this business idea. Uh so, he says, is 668 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: that rest is the interview so far up until this 669 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: point seemingly a normal interview texture pat interview. It's it has, 670 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: but it's like generally pretty normal. He's talking about like 671 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: the Christopher Nolan movie he's going to be and he's 672 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 1: talking about like being quarantined in the middle of production 673 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: for Batman. Like he says some funny things, but it's 674 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: like he's generally going with it. But then I guess 675 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: this is like the one day, one day, like three 676 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: days into this like multiple day interview process. He says, uh, 677 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: this is his business idea. What if pasta really had 678 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: the same kind of fast food credentials as burgers and pizza. 679 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out how to capitalize in 680 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: this area of the market, and I was trying to think, 681 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: how do you make a pasta which you can hold 682 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: in your hand? And then he goes on to say 683 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: that he has a prototype for it, and he made 684 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: the prototype with a panini press, and then he set 685 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: up in a meeting with I don't know if I'm 686 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: saying this correctly. Lilia Massamini, who co founded Sugarfish, like 687 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: like Robert Pattinson called them up and was like, I 688 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: have an idea for pasta you can hold in your hand, 689 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,320 Speaker 1: and like Massamini confirmed this. They had a whole meeting 690 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: about it. It must have been he was like, it's true. 691 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: I was not interested.

I don't know. Maybe he's until Pattinson's 730 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: the new fucking Jhon ham who's like guy who's comedians 731 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,320 Speaker 1: no offense, but he's more talented than John Hamm and no. 732 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 1: But I mean like he clearly has a knack for 733 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: like he likes comedy, you know what I mean, Like 734 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: he has a sense of humor. He's a little cheeky 735 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: based on the lour ship and even this like microwave 736 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,879 Speaker 1: aluminum foil bit. But I wonder if like he'd ever 737 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: truly be like you know, like they're a little more comedy. 738 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: You know. I think it wants to be like Joaquin Phoenix, 739 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: Like I think he wants to be a guy that 740 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: can do anything and is known for being eccentric guy. 741 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: So this is this is basically manufactured. So this is 742 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: shitty manufactured eccentricity. I don't know. I I kind of 743 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 1: he's been doing it long enough that I believe that 744 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: he's a weird guy. He did Twilight, and that's weird enough. 745 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: He did Twilight, and he was also like, if you 746 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: watch his old press interviews from Twilight, he's actively making 747 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: fun of the experience of being like there was never 748 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: a moment in his career where he was deeply sincere. 749 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: And then he's like, he's a goof, He's a weird guy. 750 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. And it is true that like really 751 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: only like male actors of a certain type can like 752 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: get away with this ship and not be like dismissed 753 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 1: as like annoying or difficult.
