30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: up with a doctor, Caitlin. I gotta ask you. I

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: didn't see the movie, but when I saw the trailer,

32
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: I said, I have to know what Caalin thinks of this,

33
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: the unbearable weight of was it massive talent? Yes? The

34
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: nick film. And you know, I'm asking why I wanted

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: to talk to you because from the only thing I

36
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: really gleaned from that film is there is an energetic

37
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: debate over Paddington Too being the best film of all time. Correct,

38
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: So Pedro Pascal's character deems it his third favorite movie

39
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: of all time, which he's in because it's should be

40
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: number one but they then and then Nicholas Cage is like,

41
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? That's ridiculous, And then they

42
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: watch it together and then they're both in tears and

43
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: saying like, Paddington two is incredible, and he's like, I

44
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: told you. And then there's a call back toward it.

45
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: There's a call back to it later on in the phone.

46
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: So multiple Paddington two references obviously the best part of

47
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the entire movie. Then of yourself, it's it's pretty fun,

48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a fun romp. But the

49
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Paddington two references really elevated to to something great that

50
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing, that this is for the

51
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: culture exactly, you know, absolutely, and they take it seriously.

52
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: It's not like a joke where like he's he's dumb

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: because he likes Paddington. It's like he actually knows. We

54
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: we respect these characters more because they acknowledge the greatness

55
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: of Yeah, what the fuck, I'm in my mind it

56
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: yet Miles or Jack. Oh, that's the next one. I

57
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go. I might see it here. It's

58
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: not streaming yet, right, I'm talking about Paddington too. I

59
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: don't give a shit about I want. Yeah, I'm asking you,

60
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Miles if you've seen Paddington two yet. I know as

61
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of the week, But you gotta get your

62
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: head straight. Man, we're talking about Paddington two. Man. You're

63
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: all you're upside down on all this ship man trying

64
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: to keep up. Motherfucker. Have you seen it? No, I

65
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: sucked up. You promised, you made a promise to me.

66
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: I know, and you know. And it was a hard time.

67
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: I was voting for Joe Biden around then. I was

68
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: doing all kinds of stuff I normally wouldn't do, going

69
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: against a lot of things. I believe. I apologize. That

70
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: is my failure that I will own and I will

71
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: rectify it by the time. If you don't not even

72
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: on Mike, I will see it before I even record

73
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: with you on Wednesday, right because we are recording a

74
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: back tocast episode. I'm not going to to So this

75
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: is not that big of a promise. No, it's not

76
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: on Paddington too, like I promise. Then you show up

77
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: and you're like al Jamie kind of bad again. Up

78
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: watched the Ultimatum for a third time in a row,

79
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: all the way through. I don't know what's wrong with me?

80
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, goodness, If I had a Paddington To screening party,

81
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: would you come? Yes? Okay, I'll just have a Paddington

82
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: To screening party. Suck it to make up for it?

83
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Can can I? Can I go to a MC and

84
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: then rent out the theater have a private screening of

85
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Paddington Too on their screen? Yeah? Please do that. I

86
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: feel like that's the only way I can make up

87
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: for this. To be honest, I'm like acting like a

88
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: like a step dad who forgot about their step kids

89
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: birthday and now I'm going to go way overboard because

90
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: I funked up materially so and make up for my

91
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: lack of a most no contribute. When when you have

92
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: an opinion that is like correct but lesser known, and

93
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: then like people kind of start to come around on it.

94
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it can go a couple of different ways.

95
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: How like when that was on screen in the movie,

96
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: they were basically doing the same thing that you've been

97
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: doing for for years. How did that feel where you

98
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: were you? Did you feel honored? Did you just feel

99
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: like there is some truth in the universe? Well, I

100
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: already knew about the truth of the universe and the

101
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: truth being that Paddington Too is the greatest film of

102
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: all time. I did feel validated. It did feel like

103
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: they were kind of caused playing as me. So that

104
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: kind of makes me sort of like a superhero, Like

105
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: because you caused play superhero, So I I really did

106
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: feel like a like a a hero. You warned a

107
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: soldier and has have The filmmakers commented on whether that

108
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: was explicit subtext, like them caused playing well, because I

109
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: can take soul credit for the observation, I believe it's

110
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: honestly in my heart that's a I am always curious

111
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: because when I was younger and and like, somebody really

112
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: liked a band, and then the people found out about

113
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: the band, the people who are originally liked it would

114
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: be like, nah, funk that I don't like the band anymore.

115
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: Now that everybody else likes the band, I feel like

116
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: that has become less of a popular position, that they

117
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: would be like they sold out right, Because that always

118
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: baffled be because you're basically operating under the same principle

119
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: or ideology as like conformity, where you're letting other people

120
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: to opinion influence how you feel about something. No, no,

121
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: it's not just that I'm not cool anymore for liking

122
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: this obscure band, and now that they're now everyone's like, objectively,

123
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: they're a good band. I'm like, yeah, the obscurity was

124
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the thing apparently that they like. The personality was liking

125
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: things people don't know about and rejecting things that are

126
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: widely accepted, like a major thing in fan culture with

127
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: like people who are like, well, I was into like

128
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: Marvel before there was m c U and everything you

129
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: say about it is going to annoy me now, the

130
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: like they are such thing as casual fans. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

131
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: there's a few people who like family friends who got

132
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: me into comics or like, I hear the way they

133
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: talk about Marvel now, it's truly on something, bro. I

134
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: was living that ship age my page man before fucking

135
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Jon Favreau came along. Have either of you seen Doctor

136
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Strange speaking of Marvel? Oh no, I've seen I think

137
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: three m c youth films in my whole all right,

138
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: I forget this about you. Yeah, I'm wildly inconsistent with

139
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: I've not seen it. I was a little scared off

140
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: by the title. That sounds like a lot of Doctor

141
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: Strange in the in the multiverse of madness. Yeah, I

142
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: don't like I don't like conflict. I don't like madness

143
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: when people are mad at me or the universe. A

144
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: strange doctor, give me out of here, man. Oh my

145
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: doctors to be not strange, straight down the middle and trustworthy. Yeah,

146
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: where's duck doctor trusting eyes? Um, all I know is

147
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: that there's no there are no Paddington to references in

148
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: Doctor Madness, So it's not really a good movie, which

149
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: is disappointing. I think everyone exactly what we do like

150
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Well, honestly,

151
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: most of what I've been researching lately this footage and

152
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: background for the Finals file. But truthfully, the very last

153
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: thing that I searched was this morning. It was Steven

154
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: Seagal running because it was pointed out on another podcast.

155
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: And even though I've seen all of his eighties and

156
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: nineties films, I you know, I'm pro sleep over by

157
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the way as well, even though I saw most of them,

158
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it never stood out to me. But

159
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: needless to say, um, you know, it absolutely did not

160
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: disappoint and I encourage you guys to do it. And

161
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: since he is a pretty reprehensible individual allegedly. I don't

162
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: feel guilty about laughing at it. It basically looks like

163
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: he with someone else's arms attached to his body. That's great, Yeah,

164
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. He's such a sleepover all star.

165
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: He only wears pajamas now, Like this dude just walks

166
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: around him the most comfortable of clothing. Oh yeah, he

167
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: runs like he like he runs like out the like

168
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: brand new out the box terminator. Yes, for like a

169
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: like a baby dury. In my mind, that that makes

170
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: me think of the T one thousand who runs in

171
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: a very like yeah, with his arms where he sells

172
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: arms like don't really know what that's what I'm saying.

173
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: Like he's new, he's new, He's like he hasn't fully

174
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: been Like no, I'm on my two one. Do you

175
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: guys remember that old nineties movie Body Parts where I

176
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: think it was like Jeff Fay he was in it,

177
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: and they like gets into a car crash and then

178
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: they put his body back together with other with with

179
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: like the body parts of a murderer and they're not

180
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: they're not. Remember poster for this film that was a

181
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: bunch of limbs with cables coming out of it. Yeah,

182
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: that's basically what he looks like running. Okay, Yeah, yes,

183
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: that's the premise of so many movies where it's like

184
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: I gotta I have the the eyes in my head

185
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: now of a murderer and I have never never all

186
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: that successful. But that's a challenge to anyone. Was this

187
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: like in an era where like transplant surgeries were like

188
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: becoming more like survivabal and like useful. So then someone

189
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, some coked out writer and it's like, dude,

190
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: what if like you got fucking murderer arm Well, it

191
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: comes from us, from the original cooked out writer Mary Shelley,

192
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: Oh with the frank and the original Franken stuff. For

193
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: some reason, we're going to go back to the Bible writer. God,

194
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people stole the idea from

195
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: that well known documentary face off right exactly? How ship

196
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: what am I talking about? It hasn't been done well,

197
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: but it's been done perfectly. And I but that's more

198
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: like that's less of like is this foreign appendage or

199
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: organ affect who you are? Yeah? It never takes over

200
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: their body. In fact, the it was it's just them

201
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: in a great disguise, but they are themselves, other than

202
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: some parts where Nick Cage as John Travolta is like

203
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: looking in the mirror is like so like his his

204
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: reflection is is messing him up. But idle hands, there's

205
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: that one. Yeas a lot of them, But that was

206
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: more of like a possessed hand that he had. Yeah,

207
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: that's kind of kind of talking about is like the

208
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: possessed hand, the possessed eyes, the possessed There was a

209
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: VHS box that made me think Steve Martin might have

210
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: started in one, but maybe the man with two Brains.

211
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't I don't actually know what that was about,

212
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: but it's been a while. What's What's something you guys

213
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: think is overrated? I think sparkle water has ever rated? Okay,

214
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm a tap tap person. Oh I guess I get

215
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: that some people I don't like taper or can't drink

216
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: like still water, but I don't personally understand it. Do

217
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: you disagree on that then? Okay, I didn't need to

218
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: cause some tension here. Do you like sparkling at all?

219
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: You're You're just you? You said, No, I don't need that.

220
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine seeing gas sparkling. No, I mean, so,

221
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: I don't mind fizz like soda or like a red Bull.

222
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: But I just I don't. I don't get the sparkling

223
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: water thing. I think it's a no. I think it's

224
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: a little hoity toity, like digging digging away. You're in Philly.

225
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: We did that coordinate, That's the thing. Maybe we should have.

226
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. I didn't realize you hated sparkling

227
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 1: water so much. Like we're trying to turn this on

228
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the crossfire where you guys are just going at each other.

229
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: All right, sparkling water sucks, mash, you're abut I have

230
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: a soda stream in my house, so I just got one.

231
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: They're good. I don't. I I feel you on this, Paul.

232
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: Like when I'm thirsty, I'm not thinking, oh, I need

233
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: a sparkling water. I'm like, I need water so I

234
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: can down a bunch of like fluid before without my

235
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: chest bursting because of like the intensity of which I

236
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: drink things. I'm thirsty, you know what I'm You know

237
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, Like when you start and then

238
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: your chest feels like like like is about to pop out. Yeah,

239
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: So I don't like you for that, but like I

240
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: like you too, you know I'm mixed drinks with sparkling

241
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: water and things like that. He just likes to have,

242
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: like to sip on, but like for pure hydration. There's

243
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: no fucking way I could be like I need a pellant,

244
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, I see someone with sparkling water in

245
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: the gym. That wouldn't make sense, right, what well, I'd

246
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: have something to say, or I wouldn't say something that

247
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: I would be judgment until my mind under my breath

248
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: after I left. I went into an infrared sauna the

249
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: other day, and you know, you get bottles of water

250
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: and you go into it, and they were only stocked

251
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: with sparkling water. I think someone made a mistake. So

252
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm in the sauna and I'm like chugging it and

253
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: didn't don't realize it's sparkling water and they didn't have

254
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: regular water. In that case, sparkling water does not work

255
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: when you're in a d seventy degree, you know. And

256
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: then I'm sure the burps are like criminal in an environment.

257
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: What's what's something you think is underrated? My answer is

258
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: asking for help. I love to ask for help. I

259
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: do it all the time, and I think people are

260
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable doing it or view it as a weakness,

261
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, man, just ask for help. I'm

262
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: recovering from pretty major knee surgery and I've had to

263
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: have people help me a lot along the way. And

264
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: when I landed in New York. I went landed in

265
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: LaGuardia during my book tour and I my mom was

266
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: traveling with me, which was so nice, and she was like,

267
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: you know what, we should just get you a wheelchair

268
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: for here because this airport's too big. And I was like,

269
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: I felt like kind of bad about it. I was like, well,

270
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: I could technically do that. I could technically walk and

271
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: I could technically you know. And she was like, just

272
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: get the wheelchair. And I was like, okay, yeah, I've

273
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: seen you. I think you definitely could use the wheelchair

274
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: for sure. You're still limping. You're still limping, Like you

275
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: don't have to push yourself if you're still limping, Allison. Yeah,

276
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: It's just like it's lovely and also allowing people the

277
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to help you, you know, like when I find

278
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: out that like friends or loved ones have gone through

279
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: something and like not ask me for help when I

280
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: could have made me done something, or I feel sad

281
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I love when people ask me to help out. Yeah,

282
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: that's I I agree. That is the secret to like

283
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people who I knew, I've known like

284
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: my whole adult life, and they're very successful, and the

285
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: thing that they seem to be really good at is

286
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: just being being like, oh, I'm not afraid of all

287
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: to ask you know, a company, a person, whatever it is.

288
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yeah, this, like most people will say yes.

289
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: And then there's also this dynamic where I think it

290
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: was like Benjamin Franklin talked about it, where by asking

291
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: someone to do you a favor, they are more likely

292
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: to like you in the long run, which sounds like

293
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: a weird like yeah, yeah, exactly, it's like Dale Carnegie bullshit.

294
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: But also I think it reveals something about what you're

295
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: saying that, like, people do like to help if you,

296
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: if you give them a chance to. So it also

297
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: like weirdly builds intimacy, you know, to be there for someone.

298
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: It kind of strengthens your relationship. Yeah, how about you, Gabby,

299
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Uh? Joy, And

300
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say. I've got it.

301
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: I've got a rant ready. Oh boy, Gabby loves to

302
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: have a big lead in to whatever they say should

303
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: be the answer. Now on our podcast together that me

304
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: and Allison do just between us, I call it conspiracy corner,

305
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: where I'm like, get ready for conspiracy corner and then

306
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: I get up with whatever conspiracy I want to talk

307
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: about for ten minutes while Elison just k not. So

308
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that to you guys. But I

309
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: a friend of mine, two friends of mine, wrote a

310
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: movie called Crush that's on Hulu. It's a movie that

311
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: is just pure queer joy. It's just a lovely film, right,

312
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: And the New York Times person reviewed it, and I

313
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: don't know her sexuality, but I'm gonna I think I

314
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: believe me. I went a little bit crazy and I

315
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: looked into her and I think she is straight. And

316
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: the point that I want to make is that I

317
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: took a lot of issue with the review of the

318
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: film because of one word in it, which is flimsy.

319
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: She calls the film flimsy. Now to me, let's zoom out.

320
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: To call a film that is full of happiness and

321
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: joy and love flimsy sucks to me. And two, especially

322
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: at a time when queer youth are so under attack,

323
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: when trans kids are so under attack, when anti LGBT

324
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: legislation towards kids is so heightened and so in the news.

325
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: Even if it doesn't get past it still creates an

326
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: environment where queer kids believe that they are less than

327
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: because the government is even considering this stuff, because the

328
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: news covers like trans swimmer and what does this mean

329
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: and whatever to like not have the context of the

330
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: political situation right now, of the daily zeitgeist as it were. Uh,

331
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: to call a film like that flimsy is at best irresponsible,

332
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: at worst homophobic. Thank you damn here here and now

333
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: everybody listening, it's to go watch crush. That sounds more

334
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: than that. Make more queer movies that are joyful, make

335
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: more in general, movies about young people that are joyful.

336
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: All thank you, there you go. Yeah. I saw so

337
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: much pushback about like Lost City, where even people who

338
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: like really loved it are like, well, yeah, I mean

339
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: it's not a good movie, but I loved it, And

340
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: it's like, no, if you loved it, it was a

341
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: good movie. It's not that like, yeah, maybe it's not

342
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: tackling like world hunger and like horrible sadness, but it

343
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: is very hard to create something that people enjoy, and

344
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: so if someone enjoys it, then it is well done.

345
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: It might just be a different genre than what we

346
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: nominate for the Oscars. You can have fun at the

347
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: movies and it doesn't have to be like I just

348
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: think like where I'm over trauma porn. Yeah, I think that, yeah, absolutely,

349
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: And it's and it's a skill to make something that

350
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: makes you happy, Like it's like, oh, I didn't try

351
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: at all, and I just made a two hour film

352
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: that everyone giggled at and loved and felt happy during.

353
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: But oh, that's a piece of trash. Like it's correct.

354
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really interesting to see what the Oscars

355
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: do with everything everywhere, all at once, which is very

356
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: universally beloved, critically acclaimed. It does not It is a

357
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: shot of joy, just like adrenaline, enjoy like to to

358
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: the heart and also it makes you cry. But I

359
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: I do wonder if the Oscars will be able to

360
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: make room for that. And they're cold, shriveled heart Ye

361
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: talk overrated the Oscars. But and this comes from an

362
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: Oscars gay. I love the Oscars. Everything I love is attacked.

363
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm a Disney gay. I'm an oscars gay and everything

364
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: is just ruined. So hey worth fighting for I thought

365
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: you were just about to say. And this comes from

366
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: an Academy Award winner won I won for a conspiracy corner. Actually, yeah,

367
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: it's a classic Best Personal Documentary classic. Loved it all. Right,

368
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

369
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: And we're back, and there are a handful of conversations

370
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody's having, or you know, re research projects

371
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: people are are doing, like just trying to figure out

372
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: what the funk is going on with our country and

373
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: what what the future could look like, because it almost

374
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: like the future almost feels more unimaginable than it ever

375
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: has at this point. And so what one question that

376
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have is like what

377
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: rights could be next based on based on this opinion

378
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: that was written because yeah, like we were talking about

379
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: last week, the logic that Justice Alito is essentially laying

380
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: out is like, well, the Constitution doesn't mention women or

381
00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 1: the word abortions, so which is terrifying when you can said,

382
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: or how many of our current rights and laws are

383
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: not in the Constitution verbatim, and many have said, you know,

384
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: same sex marriage could be next. And I'm not sure

385
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: how quickly they're gonna go for like a full scale

386
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: like just like rapid repeal of like all of these laws,

387
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: because I know at the same time, you can tell

388
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: the Republicans are struggling with this or how they just

389
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: cannot use the word abortion out loud right now. They're

390
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: like the league or something. Uh So, now you gotta

391
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: just kind of look at where a lot of this

392
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: energy is swirling, and you can tell that there's a

393
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: lot of homophobia in the tank with the GOP right now.

394
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: And just recently last week there was a letter from

395
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: just a few distinguished ship bag senators from Utah, Kansas,

396
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: North Dakota, and Indiana. Uh they are coming at the

397
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: TV ratings people like you know when you put a

398
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: TV show on this as PG or like y seven

399
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: or whatever. M a coming at those people, leaning on them, saying, Hey,

400
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: we need to have a meeting and we need to

401
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: talk because I don't know if you've heard of all

402
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: this lgbt Q stuff out there, but we were asking

403
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: is maybe you need to create some kind of new

404
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: rating or category that alerts homophobes to the presence of

405
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: lgbt Q. Characters or themes. And this letter, I mean

406
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: it reveals a few things. It reveals how they what

407
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: they you know, how they even view anyone who's not

408
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: ciss het human, as well as just kind of that

409
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: they're still like they're still simmering beef with Disney because

410
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: they use Disney to kick off the outrage they said. Quote. Recently,

411
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: a video emerged showing a prominent executive at children at

412
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: a children's entertainment giant saying she supports having quote many

413
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: many many l g B t q I A plus

414
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: characters in our stories to the detriment of children. Gender

415
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: dysphoria has become sensationalized in the popular media and television

416
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: with radical activists and entertainment companies. The radical and sexual

417
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: sensation not only harms children, but also destabilizes and damages

418
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: parental rights. They talk about how they're going against that

419
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: don't say gay bill, about the you know band's classroom

420
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: instruction sexual orientation, our gender identity, and they go on

421
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: to say sexual orientation and gender identity instruction often entails

422
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: a discussion concerning an individual's pattern of emotional, romantic and

423
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: sexual attraction. Yeah, that's that just sounds like you're learning

424
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: some facts. But let's not again forget that conservatives as

425
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: it relates to anything dealing with gay rights, is that

426
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: their mentality is like, well, if you even here that

427
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: two men could kiss, that could instantly create a homosexual

428
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: by the mere mention, by the mere viewing of it.

429
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: That is how malleable our brains are. Don't don't think

430
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: for a second people who are? People know innately who

431
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: they are deep down on some level. It's this. It's

432
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: the they that they heard about this that is going

433
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: to present an issue. They go on to say a

434
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: former creator of Disney children's content recently publish an article

435
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: acknowledging that every children's TV writer knows to be careful

436
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: about quote modeling behavior end quote as children and will

437
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: often imitate what is projected through the TV scripts, especially preschoolers. Again, yeah, sure,

438
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: what they mean is don't show a kid, don't maybe

439
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: have your characters sticking forks into light sockets. Yeah that part,

440
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: But I'm not like, I'm not over here being like, yo, mom,

441
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: can I get some paint so I can go paint

442
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: a tunnel view on this wall and hopefully get some

443
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: cars to drive through it. And the modeling behavior is Yeah,

444
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: we we would like to create a world where people

445
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: are feel free to be themselves, and so we don't

446
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: want to model a world where like a certain type

447
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: of person doesn't exist or that type of person is

448
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: like treated hostily as they have been in our culture

449
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: like up until you know, a couple of years ago.

450
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 1: Basically literally right, the thing of it is is like

451
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: and we all know this. None of this is about modeling.

452
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: It's all about supremacy. It's all about troll like like

453
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: like I almost feel like I almost feel sad now

454
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: when I see people like almost ironically sharing the you know,

455
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna be the America is gonna be the handmaids Tale,

456
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: like when we share those types of like memes and whatnot,

457
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: because like that's the reality we are. We are all

458
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: headed to like you footloose your style like like that

459
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: that that is the lifestyle of the that these legislators

460
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: seem to you'll seem to want and and and and

461
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Africanas with you. It's it's actually terrifying, Like I don't

462
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: have children, but you know those of us that have kids,

463
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: that's for me. That's a terrifying thought that that not

464
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: only are we you know, are we rolling it back,

465
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: but it's being forcibly rolled back, and and and and

466
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: to your kind of a point that you brought up

467
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: Jack earlier, Jack or I think it was a miles.

468
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this is absolutely coming, Like they are

469
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: absolutely going to come for all of this like this, Yeah,

470
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: this is low hanging fruit. Right. So while you may

471
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: not go and say we need to we need to

472
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: repeal the same sex marriage, you say, well, let's turn

473
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: up the heat in other places. Maybe we can disappear

474
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: L G B t Q people from anything a child

475
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: may see. And that's and they have a lot of

476
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: energy to back that. This letter does go on to

477
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: even use just like completely just inaccurate ship they say

478
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: when they're again when they're talking about how the children's

479
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: content like especially why seven things, and how dangerous that

480
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: could be to have a to anybody who is not

481
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: a straight person on there, Uh, they said, this dialogue

482
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: often involves the promotion of irreversible experimental treatments that involve

483
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: surgical and otherwise invasive cosmetic procedures that are detrimental and

484
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: life altering and do not evidence medical necessity. What fucking

485
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: show is that that kids are watching? What are you.

486
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: And this is again because everything is about blowing things

487
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: out of completely out of proportion to get the energy,

488
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: the panic, the frenzy, the fear mongk, just at at

489
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: the highest level, so you can direct that at will,

490
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, and you honestly you seen the using the

491
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: mindset of oh well it wasn't in the Constitution. It's like, yeah,

492
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, let's give the founding fathers

493
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: a break. They were more focused on being able to

494
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: like own people in American imperialism and you know, things

495
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: of that nature. They like women, What are you talking

496
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: about now? I think one of the people who wrote

497
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: the Constitution like kept their wife and like chained in

498
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: a basement. Like I'm I'm pretty sure that's accurate. I mean,

499
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure they kept many people changed somewhere, so wife

500
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: or not. I can see the I can see the

501
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: barbarism of it all. And then so you know, we don't.

502
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: This is all just coming down to the fact that

503
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: they have to they want to institutionalize even further. That's

504
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: like a born homophobia, and so as they want to

505
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: disappear these people in the name of protecting children, I think, um,

506
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: Evan Hurst, I want cat actually pointed something very interesting

507
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: out about like how these parents of like hyper conservative

508
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: Christian parents are is that if anyone's grooming anyone, these

509
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: parents are grooming their kids to be cis head self low,

510
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: their big hits, who do not actually who are not

511
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: going to honor who they are. That's the that's the momentum.

512
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: That's the environment that these these parents are creating. One

513
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: environment is one that says, do not feel ashamed of

514
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: who you are as a person. You can come as

515
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: you are and you are worthy. The other version is

516
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: where you hear that, don't look at that, don't see that.

517
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: It might tell you this, and if that happens, then

518
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: that means this. That is a that is a world

519
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: filled with a lot of negative energy for a child.

520
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: I can I'm pretty sure comparatively that's how that looks.

521
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: From my perspective. They're grooming current children to be like

522
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: our our grandparents and no disrespect to anybody's grandparents, but

523
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: that time in life was not life or anybody, so

524
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: they had some things to work on. You know, my

525
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: grandparents included you know, we all did. But and again,

526
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's you know, to use the word

527
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: groom or whatever it's whatever, but I think just interesting

528
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: to look at what the energy is being into and

529
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: if you're talking about you want to take a child

530
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: to a certain conclusion about what the world is or

531
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: what they're life could be. And to add to that too,

532
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: the conservatives are still going on with this like furry

533
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: panic thing like we've I mean, we didn't really talk

534
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: about it much because it was just so ridiculous that

535
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: you had conservatives being like, they're putting litter boxes in

536
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: bathrooms because kids identify as animals now or their furries,

537
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: or that they had to in some states saying that

538
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: they had to lower the lunch tables to accommodate the

539
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: children who identified as animals, and so were they are

540
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: continuing this whole fucking trend as well, because I think

541
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: it's clearly doing something. It's getting the attention even though

542
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: most people don't understand it. But I think because we

543
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: live in such a charged environment where like identity can

544
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: now just being anything and it's not about a human being,

545
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: they're just fully going into like, Okay, let's further to

546
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: like other and dehumanize people who are different in any

547
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: possible way. Oh man, the next election, it's gonna be

548
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: fucking I feel like so many of these things are

549
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: like reaching their their final form or just like yeah,

550
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: and now it's all it's all about protecting the children. Yeah,

551
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: but I I just we've yet to hear a specific

552
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: strategy that the Democrats are going to employ, like what

553
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: what that? That's where my feeling of inevitability comes from

554
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: is that the Democratic Party doesn't have, like the Republicans

555
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: have a clear agenda that they are driving at, strategizing

556
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: around and have been for the past four years, and

557
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party doesn't seem willing to do anything like yeah, yeah,

558
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: well I think you know, I think the biggest thing

559
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: is that when it comes to abortion, that was never

560
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: really something that was truly part of the platform. It

561
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: was it was you start to see what the things

562
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: they get done. They can help take away regulations, they

563
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: can make things easier for the financial industry, they can

564
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: do things like that. But as it relates to like

565
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: codifying row, never really seemed to be much interest there.

566
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: And you know it was when when they were sending

567
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: us emails asking for donations. Oh yeah, I mean I

568
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: got one this morning from Nancy Pelosi because she texts

569
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: all of God's children with a checking account and says

570
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: it's Speaker Pelosi. Hear me in some weird aspont you

571
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: texted like some I'm like, how do you even get

572
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: that fun to show up in the text? And she

573
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: was wearing That's how exactly she knew. She's like, hey, brother,

574
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: turn that Kendrick down real quick, I got some I

575
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: want to hit you to some uh and goes on

576
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: to say, I'll be blunt. How we act in this

577
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: harrowing moment will decide the future of our nation. We

578
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: can either either let right wing forces pull us backwards,

579
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: or we can rise up together and fight to protect

580
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: women's rights once and for all. The only way to

581
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: protect reproductive is to build on our democratic majorities in

582
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: the House and Senate and defeat every last anti choice

583
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: Republican who made this happen. First of all, you are

584
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: caping for Henry Henry quay Are in Texas, who's a

585
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: Democrat who is anti abortion right, So now square that

586
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: ship because you're protecting people in the party that don't

587
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: even believe this. Look, I'm a political idiot. One of

588
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: the reasons why I was drawn to this show to

589
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: begin with, because I was like, look, these guys say,

590
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: they're they're they're teaching me some stuff. I I really

591
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: appreciate the way you guys phrase it. I appreciate it.

592
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: Already got the gig bro, No, no, but I'm saying

593
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: like this was literally that, like I'm talking about your

594
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: years years back. That was the appeal. I was, like,

595
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: you know what, I need someone to talk to me

596
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: like I am a five year old and you guys,

597
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: you guys do a great job of explaining things. And

598
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: one thing I'll say is this to respond to something

599
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: that you asked earlier. Jack heard that you know that

600
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: you earlier was, uh, you know, what's the Democrats? You

601
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: know plan? You know, what's their strategy? From it from

602
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: a political idiot, what it seems like he always has

603
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: been is we're not them. Hey, we're better than them.

604
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: Hey just just vote blue. Like that's all I've heard

605
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: at least over the last four years. And I'm not

606
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: trying to dissuade anybody. I'm not trying to you know,

607
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: like talk anybody you know, you know into your voting

608
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: Republican or doing anything else. That's what it feels about.

609
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: It just feels like they're they're good enough with simply

610
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: a little bit better than the other side. Yeah, because

611
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: that's where the funding is. Yeah, it's worked, wonders. Yeah.

612
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: And like the text of the from Nancy Pelosi of

613
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: now more than ever, this is it, like this is

614
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: the moment, Like you sent me this text six years ago,

615
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: and like probably three months ago, like I feel I

616
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: feel like they're constantly evoking this ship and then like now, Yeah,

617
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: it just it doesn't work because messages are so fucked

618
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: up and absurd when you read them, given what is

619
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: happening right now, right people are fucking There are people

620
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: right now who are wondering, how the funk am I

621
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna do right by my own body right now? How

622
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: do I do that? Yeah? And this text goes on

623
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: to say we're looking at this an existence. Well, I

624
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: mean we face existence ris constantly, but this was very

625
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: specific and it's very very important. You go on to

626
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: tweet in this same or in the tweet in the

627
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: same text asking for money quote quote I need a

628
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime response ten thousand gifts in the

629
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: next twelve hours to put us in a position to

630
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: win this fight and protect our fundamental rights. If we

631
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: don't meet our goal, Republicans think they can get away

632
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: with anything. So you've rhetorically tied the idea that if

633
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: we do not give you our money, then our rights

634
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: are fucking gone. Yeah, that's how you're motivating people. I'll

635
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: I ask is for one Democrat to come out and describe, like, what,

636
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: what is what has prevented you from protect doing women's rights? Why?

637
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Why has that? So it's not enough to be like Mansion?

638
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: Why so why is Mansion like beholden to the forces

639
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: that he's bholden too? What are you doing? Like? What

640
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: what can you do? What? What are what is that

641
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: stake in your mind? What is it stake beyond like

642
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: you know you are next election? What is it stake? What?

643
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: What is the thing that motivates you? Is it like

644
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: the people who are going to suffer from this because

645
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: you don't really seem to like reach out to them

646
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: or talk about them. It's all about, you know, reaching

647
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: out and asking for a once in a lifetime a

648
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: bunch of money. This is the thing. Like Gavin Newsom,

649
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: he I mean I don't know, I mean, well, I

650
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't I don't know how sincere he is,

651
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: but he was really like, where the hell is my party? Right?

652
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: He's like, where why aren't we standing up more firmly,

653
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: more resolutely. But he's also saying this at a rally,

654
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: and it's much easier to be like, as a governor,

655
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: be like what are they doing over there, because the

656
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: governors love to do that. That helps them seem like

657
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: a little bit disconnected from like the larger you know,

658
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: national party politics of it all. But that was the

659
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: most forceful thing I read in the headline was Gavin

660
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: Newsom being like, dude, where's my party? M But I

661
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: don't know. There's got to be like a bunch of

662
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: democratic strategists who are reaching out to AOC being like

663
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: this is your moment, like come in run for the

664
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: presidency next like four, like the things are too too

665
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: bad for to like for Biden to win again. I

666
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 1: think all that's true. The problem is the people who

667
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: are reaching out are democratic strategists, like you know it

668
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: would it would need to. I don't. I don't know

669
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: how you unfucked the whole DMC of it all. We'll see,

670
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, because right now they're still they're sending text

671
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: messages like I need gifts, You need gifts, motherfucker. People

672
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: asking for gifts is exactly like, my god, that's so horrible,

673
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: which has happened to you? I need presents from you

674
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: now more than ever actually, and then making you feel

675
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: guilty if you if you aren't able to were willing

676
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: to do it. Oh yeah, you know what was wild?

677
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: When I go through my text, like at the end

678
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: of last week, right right before all this ship dropped,

679
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: got another text, and the energy on that one was like, hey, y'all,

680
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: ship's bad. Yeah, Republicans are might be leading by a

681
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: point and you're like, here, yeah, that's to motivate people,

682
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: because imagine this, right, It's like when when we watch

683
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: funked up ads and we're like, how the fund did

684
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: that company let them make that there was nobody in

685
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: the room was because everybody in the room was looking

686
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: at it the same way. Yeah, they didn't have any

687
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: consideration how that looks outside the room, because they don't

688
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: even have the wherewith all to know that there isn't

689
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 1: out side the room, or if there is, they see

690
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: it as outside the room is beholden to what we

691
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: set in this room. So I don't give a funk

692
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: what's happening outside the room. I'm almost like morbidly curious

693
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 1: to like go listen to one of those like pod

694
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: save podcasts, just to hear like what what they're what

695
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: they're saying at this. I mean, you know they're talking

696
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 1: about like attorneys general and like those moves and things

697
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: that are happening in that sense. But you're not gonna

698
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: get like I don't I can't imagine you're gonna hear

699
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: the frustrations of the about what the party boil over

700
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: um and I think I don't know. And again I

701
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: think that's what's really interesting is you can only keep

702
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: doing stuff like this till these things without anyone, without

703
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: any prompting that these sort of takes and texts and

704
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: things look so hollow, and you start you start realizing

705
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: like what the fuck, like we're talking about he puts

706
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: rights and yeah, I'm getting hit up for money. It's

707
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: like the first the first into that is like when

708
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: you graduate college, and then like the first fall after graduating,

709
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: like hey man, what's up man? Thinking about donating? And

710
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 1: you're like, what the fuck? That's like most people's reactions

711
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: right when they graduate that first mid piece of mail

712
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, high school whatever, You like, what the funk

713
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: are you talking about? And that's how these texts are

714
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: starting to sound too I think a lot of people,

715
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: but I think I think you kind of hit it

716
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: on the head and not to the labor it. I'll

717
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: make you quick if you don't like, if you don't

718
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: see people as people, if you don't ever interact with actual,

719
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: real people, you're not going to care, and the and

720
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: and and that's how we end up in this situation like,

721
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 1: let's be real, when's it last time? And I don't

722
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: want to pick on and you know speak, I don't

723
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: want to pick on your Nancy Pelosi, but once the

724
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: last time, you think she's had a real conversation with,

725
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, someone like you were I. She would say,

726
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: I met with constituents last week that my press team

727
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: vetted before I was interacting with them, so they could

728
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: say three very specific sentences to me about a topic

729
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: that I of my choosing, and it was wonderful and

730
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: they were actually disadvantaged. Uh just that's like quote unquote colored.

731
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, well you know, she had her she

732
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: had her food bulan for that meeting, and everybody's inside

733
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: of broken system. So I mean it's like, yeah, but personal, right,

734
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: you got men non uterus havevers telling beauterus havevers how

735
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: to run their ship, and you got you got people

736
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: who wouldn't know what the fuck anything costs, or how

737
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: stretched and strapped people are for cash or some sense

738
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: of stability, people who are living then the total antithesis

739
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: of suffering indulgence over the top everything they're setting all

740
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: the policy that determines how those people live, and it's

741
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: just there's the it's that's not representative in any way.

742
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's you know, I think I think

743
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: many people are probably for the first time, having a

744
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: reckoning of like being like, what the funk I thought

745
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: those were like rights and that like they matter enough

746
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,240
Speaker 1: that you would knuckle the funk up to protect them.

747
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: And then they go away, And now you're hearing crickets

748
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden being like, hey, get out vote, and

749
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: Jancy Pelosi asking for gifts. Yeah. I mean, we are

750
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: recording this a little bit ahead of Monday, so maybe

751
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, over the weekend the Democrats are going to

752
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: just drop a very detailed roadmap for how they're gonna

753
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: do everything, and would would love for them to be

754
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: outdated by the time y'all hear it. But I mean,

755
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: and that's just one. Mess y'all got to clean up, right.

756
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: I don't think many people have forgot. You don't think

757
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: people who thought who were talking about immigration have forgotten

758
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: what's going on with that or what people who are

759
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 1: interested in voting rights or criminal justice like re tangible

760
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: reforms and not a little winks and nods that ship,

761
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: but like really changing ship, um, because if you're not

762
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: fit for it, that's just starting to I'm you know,

763
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just looking at the data that's out there.

764
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: That's all party. We really fucking a third party at

765
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, and there are plenty, right, you know,

766
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: there are plenty other political part but like, where is

767
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: the organization coming from? Etcetera? And I don't And I'm

768
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: sure they will do everything to kill a third party,

769
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: and it's the second it happens, because that is the

770
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: that is the biggest threat to them. It's like, well,

771
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: if they split off and get these other votes, than

772
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: like we're gonna have to start doing our own jerrymandering

773
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: to cut out the independence shipped from voting. Yeah, it

774
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: has always felt like that was the game though, like

775
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 1: like they recognized they're not really competing with one another.

776
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: They're just keeping each other in business. Absolutely. Look one says,

777
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: we're I mean, like as much as the Democrats are, like,

778
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: we think people should have access to abortion. Okay, now

779
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: prove it. That's all. That's really it, that's really it,

780
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: and that that may that may help you get a

781
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: little bump in the polls. But like if you, I mean, yeah,

782
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: the most cynical version of this is that like the

783
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: d n C wanted this to get out to try

784
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: and like get the voters to realize what's at stake

785
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: if they don't vote for us. Yeah. Yeah, Nancy had

786
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: that fun ready to go, and she was just waiting.

787
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: She needed somebody to create the story for her to

788
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: use it on texting me like you some tumbler refugee,

789
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: which your stylized texts ship. The fun was that you

790
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: want fucking gifts. The gifts I just can't get over.

791
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm sure plenty of people, if you

792
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: ever given or your registered Democrat or whatever, you're probably

793
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: getting these absurd texts and I'm sure all you can

794
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: do is look at that and be like this, it

795
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: looks you sound so stupid. M All right, let's take

796
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: a break and we'll come back and we're back, and

797
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk about like what we were just

798
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: talking about, basically the fact that when somebody writes on

799
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: someone's side, walk and chalk, or quietly protests out the

800
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: outside of someone's house, and it's protesting a right wing

801
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: policy being promoted by white Bible thumping men, like they're

802
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: the reaction is to protect the Bible thumping men. But

803
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: on the other hand, I think a trend that is

804
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: being there's just kind of been normalized just because it's

805
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: like one of many pieces of bad news, but the

806
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: whole like rhetoric coming off of the right that like

807
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: anybody who talks to children makes room for children to

808
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: have questions or even have gender affirming healthcare or you know,

809
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: messages around them is a groomer. So this guy, Jack

810
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: Califano tweeted last night the groomer and pedophile thing are

811
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: the clearest moment where I where I've thought, oh, wow,

812
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: they're really they really are planning on killing a lot

813
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: of people eventually, because like if you read about genocides

814
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: in history like Rwanda, you know, like modern history, all

815
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: it takes is like government complicity, which not hard to

816
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: imagine Trump administration and a source of information that is

817
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: just like reinforcing this messaging over and over again. And

818
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: Rwanda was like radio State radio. But like, I don't know,

819
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: it's just we're in a really dangerous place and I

820
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: don't know how it gets less dangerous before, you know,

821
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: like we we've seen story of people accosting families with

822
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: kay parents and public telling them, telling the kids they

823
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: need to get away from their parents because their groomers.

824
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: And in the mainstream, we've seen like the panic over

825
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: like the quote from a Disney call where they're just

826
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: talking about spreading acceptance and messaging about like acceptance and

827
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: diversity and their work, and they've turned that into like

828
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to brainwash our kids and like groom them

829
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: to like victimize them sexually. I don't know, it's like

830
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: that that tweet really like struck me as like actually

831
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: true and kind of like something we should be thinking

832
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: about more and not to be like we we need

833
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: to be like terrified. But this is a very like

834
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: dangerous undercurrent that's only getting like louder and more surface level.

835
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I think people should be more terrified. Yeah, yeah,

836
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's terrifying overall because this is also

837
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: a smoke screen for coming from real pedophiles. Yeah, do

838
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, I mean, let's let's

839
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: let's really look at this even further. This is a

840
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: complete you know, this is a tactic in a group

841
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: of people that we know are involved in trafficking and

842
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: sex rings with children. And now that it's like, you know,

843
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: to kind of reapply and to sort of project this

844
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: onto you know, the gay population, and to try to

845
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: use who's sort of the widespreadness of us trying to

846
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: like understand more and to try to be accepting of

847
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: trans people of all ages. Right, you know, this is

848
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: a scary time and we should not be going backwards

849
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: and forgetting and like it just it sucks because like

850
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: when you use things like pedophilia, it makes it easier

851
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: for people to be pedophiles, right, because people to redirect

852
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: that attention somewhere else. And it's like, meanwhile, there's kids

853
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: that are being hurt. Like I don't want to, you know,

854
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: say that we shouldn't be aware of that, because that

855
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: is a real problem. But like it's such a slippery

856
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: slope to move into be like no, now let's just

857
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: kill all gay people because gay people are the reason

858
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: why pedophilia exists, and that's that they're not the same

859
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: thing that that's they're told the conflation is precisely what

860
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: they're going for. And I mean, you just even look right,

861
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: because for all the talk of like you know, you're

862
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to vote your way out of this or whatever,

863
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: I mean, do you look at the maps and how

864
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: jerrymandered there are. It's most political forecasters like I don't

865
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: think that, I don't know how the funk the Democrats

866
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: are going to get a real majority in the Senate. Again,

867
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: if you look at how these maps you are going

868
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: out the jerrymandering works of voter suppression, that are they

869
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: even thinking about it? From their perspective too, It's like

870
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: the deck is getting stacked increasingly and the chances of

871
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: like being able to turn over politicians at a high

872
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: rate is not very realistic. And I think the other

873
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: thing that people don't realize too is how gridlocked state

874
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: houses are too, especially in red states. It's it's very difficult.

875
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: So I think, I don't know, I mean, I think

876
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: this is this is just something that generally deserves more

877
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: awareness because like like we're saying, even with this with

878
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: how Aldo is talking about this decision. The logic is

879
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: almost it's basically boiling down to it's not literally in

880
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: the constitution, it's not a right, yeah Jesus Christ. So

881
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: that leads to gay marriage, that leads to contraception, that

882
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: leads to so many other things like that. Now some

883
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: states aren't going to do it the way, you know,

884
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: like everyone. But like we we touched on yesterday or

885
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: the day before. How this could also lead to like

886
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: interest state legal battles about trying to extradite people like

887
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: to say this this doctor gave abortion care to this

888
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: person from the state where it's illegal. Now want to

889
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: charge you with an attempted murder or something like that.

890
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: That is another quagmire that is, you know, on the

891
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: horizon as well. With as with things get more litigious,

892
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: and fraud and accusations of like child abuse and child

893
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: murder and things like that are always heavily involved in

894
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: you know, the early stages of a build up to genocide,

895
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: Like the anti Semitic belief that Jews were originally murdering

896
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: children was like a big part of like blood libel,

897
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: which eventually you know, led to the Holocaust, you know,

898
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: and all of this would be like less concerning if

899
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: we didn't live in a society where right wing violence

900
00:51:55,200 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: is like tolerated and left wing protesting for human rights

901
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: is equated with terrorism. Like that is that is the

902
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: mainstream response, Like that's you know, we we talked about

903
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: it with Susan Collins, but there has been so much

904
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: right wing extremism, and like the response from the right

905
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: is to like openly put like screen a documentary where

906
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: they're like, this is an attack on you, like something

907
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: that like amps up the rhetoric, Like Tugger Carlson had

908
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: that like January six like documentary that was basically claiming

909
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: that any sort of attempt to address right wing extremism

910
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: is a like political act by the left, political act

911
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: of like attacking, and it's just so dangerous and heading

912
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: in a more dangerous direction and there's just like nothing

913
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: really pushing back on it. You know. Yeah, I mean again,

914
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: why it's even more important to begin looking in your

915
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: own community and understanding you know, those how mutual aid

916
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: works because it's you know, there are there are there's

917
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: there is a possibility for a positive outcome. But the

918
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: way leadership is now in this country, it's it's hard

919
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: to know that. I mean, there's just this like they're

920
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: so out of touch with everything that's happening. Katie Porter,

921
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: who's the congress congresswoman from California who regularly gives really

922
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: moving speeches or like interrogates bankers or other people. She

923
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: and apparently, like in a closed session meeting with other Democrats,

924
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: she like got really emotional just talking about how expensive,

925
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: like just literally bacon is at the store, and how

926
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: many families are looking to be like, holy sh it,

927
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: sandwich bread is like five bucks, Like how the funk do?

928
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: And now I'm on the search for something that's like

929
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: under four or cereals like seven or six and a half.

930
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 1: And she was talking about just her experience as a

931
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,439
Speaker 1: as a provider and the then the and the even

932
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: the stress she fell to be like I don't know

933
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: if I can buy ten dollar a ten dollar a

934
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: pack of bacon when I go to the store. And

935
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: apparently she was saying after that, she said it was

936
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: the first time she saw her colleagues kind of connect

937
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: with what she was saying, and they said, but this

938
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: isn't showing that, she said, somebody came up to another

939
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 1: congress person said this isn't showing up in the polling,

940
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: and she said, you're not asking the right fucking question, correct,

941
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: And that's I think so revealing is that so many

942
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: there's only like a handful of people that are in

943
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: Congress that are like, man, this ship is so bad

944
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: for normal people, Like half of y'all are millionaire, mostly

945
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: are millionaires, So what the funk would you know about?

946
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: Like you barely bad and eye it's five dollar blowf

947
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: for bread because the five dollars is nothing to you.

948
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: But if you have a budget and she's increasing by

949
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: orders of like twenty percent at a time, that throws

950
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: your whole fucking life off. And that's the thing that

951
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: they're not connecting with so many other things that you know,

952
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: like every even like n G O s that are

953
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: talking about the rise of fascism in the U S.

954
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, the way to combat it would be

955
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: to combat inequality. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Don't don't allow

956
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: the tension people experience to be co opted by other

957
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: people's narratives to say, to put fascism and ship in

958
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 1: their head and be like and that's why you're broke.

959
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: I think it's so important to like people on the coasts,

960
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's so easy because we

961
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: do make more money people who live on the coast,

962
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, then the rest of the country.

963
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: And I think it's so easy to get out of perspective,

964
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: to get so angry about the wrong stuff, you know

965
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, and not that like there's right stuff

966
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: and wrong stuff, but they're kind of this, you know

967
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you need to be aware of

968
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 1: what all these decisions are doing and how they're impacting

969
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: the people that live in the middle and live in

970
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: other areas, Like being down here even there, you know correct,

971
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: you know, it could be the other side of the

972
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: city that you don't drive to, that you don't see,

973
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like you just need

974
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: to open your eyes and be aware. Like being down

975
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: here there South is definitely like given me a new

976
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,959
Speaker 1: perspective on everything, you know what I mean, because there's

977
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: just such a huge juxtaposition of very very poor and

978
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: people who are just like not on the internet, you

979
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and just stuff that is a

980
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: little bit different. But it's there's such a divide in

981
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: our country and it is terrifying. It's terrifying and it's sad,

982
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: and I think we just need to be able to

983
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: get over like our philosophy as a nation that needing

984
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: help is bad because I think that that's that mentality

985
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: extends to you know, men in the just ridiculously high

986
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: suicide rates and other things like there's just there's not

987
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: a culture of saying you're vulnerable in this country, and

988
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 1: that's that's not okay because like, oh, what you're poor? Okay,

989
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: how poor are you? Do you deserve this? Like? What

990
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: the fuck I said? I need help? I said I

991
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: can't afford food, and now you're means testing this ship.

992
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: I just need help or and and the shame that

993
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: goes along with that, and I think and that we're

994
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: constantly making people feel ashamed of that rather than saying

995
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: we need to just embrace people that need help and

996
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: that's fine. People need to be more open to say

997
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean not to say people aren't expressing that, but

998
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 1: culturally that's still we're still not at that point where yeah,

999
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: and we embrace that. And there's not a full time

1000
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: job's worth of work to get the help, which is

1001
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: current way it works. You have to suddenly work twenty

1002
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: hours a week to just manage the insane, insanely understaffed

1003
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: system of the government and government subsidies and help and

1004
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: all those offices are only open during the hours that

1005
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: you are at work, and your children, you know, are

1006
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: are not at school. So it's like you have to

1007
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: sacrifice either your own job, your child care, or your

1008
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: child's education in order to facilitate, like you said, getting

1009
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: those services. Right, there's some stuff you can't even do online.

1010
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: You gotta go in there. You gotta show them some

1011
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: piece of paper, you gotta you know, it's terrible. It's

1012
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: like how you suck someone to work and then you

1013
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: also come in here between eight and two pm. And

1014
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: that's how we save money. That's how the government and

1015
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: then we can still pat ourselves on the back say hey,

1016
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: I signed that bill allowed for that. But you know, yeah,

1017
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: but we but we we kneecapped that little provision to

1018
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: the point that is gonna do funk all, don't worry,

1019
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: but I know I'm for money and resources to take

1020
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: advantage of every break the government wants to give them

1021
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: as corporations, some rich people. All right, that's gonna do it.

1022
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: For this week's weekly Zeite, guys, please like and review
