31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: fascinated with, like as a kid, always just wanting to

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,320

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,080

00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: keep the produce frost it?

00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,240

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: of misting history for you. Before the missing systems, grocers

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: do away too much data product, so they would do

41
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: things like wrap things in wet or soak, burlapped potato

42
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: sacks of water and then lay that over the vegetables.

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: So they did it dry out.

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,720

Speaker 3: We always love having people on from from all over

133
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,320

134
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: so dope. Like again, I was like, looking at the trailer,

135
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: I can't wait to actually watch the full documentary, but

136
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: just like this idea of a black team performing really

137
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: well and how that invites added scrutiny and all these

138
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: other things that eventually lead to something a little more

139
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: chaotic for these players and coaches. It's like a very

140
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: it feels like a story as old as time, but

141
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: every time you see it, like it's always still super

142
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: engaging and riveting.

143
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: Like, well, I'm.

144
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: Guessing you're a big basketball but that'd be a wild

145
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: if you're like, I actually hate basketball, but.

146
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: That's what they were doing. Okay, Okay, So that was No,

147
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: that makes so much more sense. That actually clears up

148
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: a lot for me.

149
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did you like?

150
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,000

00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: Well, I played in the conference the film talks about,

153
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: so I was familiar a little bit with what was

154
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: going on, and like, you guys had a podcast. Then

155

00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 4: the guy and I'm like I had just watched the

159
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: last dance, so I was like super inspired, but you know,

160
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: and I'm like, yo, I called one of my homies

161
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 4: up and I'm like, yeah, we got to make a movie,

162
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: and he's like shut the front door, bro, like what

163
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: are you talking about, you know, And I'm like no, man,

164
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 4: Like I did the research and I'm like, this's got

165
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 4: the story is kind of cool. And I knew nothing

166
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: about filmmaking. I just knew what we wanted to tell

167
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: the story, and we went we started to try to

168
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: raise some money for it, raised like six figures to

169
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: do it first time. For the first time with a

170
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: bunch of money in my hands. I'm like, damn. And

171
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: then we just said, yeah, let's make it, you know.

172
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: And I knew kind of what was going on in

173
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: the gyms I played in them. I had a little

174
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: bit of a frame of reference. It took me like

175
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 4: three years to make it so and then yeah, man,

176
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: and then you know, when when did the film circuit?

177
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: All that stuff? Had fun with it and people liked

178
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: the film. So I'm like, okay, right, that's the last dance.

179
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: I noticed how they're people like, man, they're they're recruited

180
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: kids out of province like is is Ontario or I

181
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: guess Toronto specifically, that popping with basketball players.

182
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: Like they got they got guys from Toronto, Like they're cheap.

183
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of was that was. That's kind of

184
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: was the was the framing, like, oh, you're bringing all

185
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: these these black kids from the inner city. You know,

186
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: there's kind of like I would say, like, you know,

187
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: maybe the Texas of Canada, and so they didn't like that.

188
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: They took the exception to that, and we were, you know,

189
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: these kids were wopping all these other teams, Like it

190
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 4: was just too easy, right right, a bunch of black

191
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 4: kids on one team and you play a bunch of

192
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: you know, white kids that are you know, just probably

193
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 4: never seen a black kid up until that point, and

194
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: it was just too easy. You know. They were back

195
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: back championships. And then after the second one coach got

196
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: fired and then you know that's kind of where we

197
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: were backtrack and go through the lived experiences of them

198
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 4: players and see what they were, you know, what they

199
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 4: were dealing with on the way of those chips. But yeah,

200
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: it's pretty much the bulk of the story, man.

201
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: That's yeah cool man. People can check it out on

202

00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 4: I was going to go to Nashville, but then my

224
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: Michigan Democrat Alyssa Slotkin. Yeah, we don't know where this

225
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: could be coming from. Maybe the uncommitted movement and her

226
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: complete ignoring of them of said movement couldn't be but

227
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: we'll look at that. We'll look at the forty three

231
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests, what is something

232
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

233
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: Food near me at the top of the list, you know, yeah,

234
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,000

Speaker 4: making food near me.

236
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: You know, wait, so you went from food to Jamaican food.

00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 4: really indecisive in my last few meals. But we did

241
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: settle on Jamaican food. We're in Toronto, you know, make

267
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,080

268
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Maybe it comes off as a

269
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: little bougie.

270
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: I mean, like from La you said Perry, I was

271
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: about to laugh at you.

272
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Perry, what's bro your time machine breakdown from the eighties?

273
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: Uh wait, people give you a ship for for is

274
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 5: it for just because it's carbonated like imported spring bubbly

275
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: water or just the bubbly Why don't I don't know.

276
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it tastes a little better than that glass, you know, like, yeah,

277
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: that's true, you know what I'm saying. And then like

278
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 4: the bubbly and all that stuff is cool, but I'm like,

279
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: you know it'sposed to flack aperio water. I want the

280
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: bubbles without the sugar, right, was my figure? You know

281
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. When it's coming up, you know, I'm

282
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: just skipping out on a bee somewhere in the summer.

283
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 4: I skipped my summer body a few summers now, so yeah,

284
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 4: to make an effort.

285
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: Do you guys have Topo Chico up there?

286
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: No? I don't know. You know what that is.

287
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: Topo Chico is like a Mexican sparkling water in a

288
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: glass bottle. But the way we talk about topo is

289
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: like the carbonation. It's like trying to fucking fight you.

290
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: It's so intense, like you'll take a similar.

291
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: Like that.

292
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

293
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, no, No, it's great. I love I mean,

294
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: I love too. It's like sparkling water for people who

295
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: are into hot sauces. Who are you know, attack as

296
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: it goes down?

297
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, you just spike the bottle.

298
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: But it might have to be a funking water.

299
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: Look out for it, Yeah, look out for chea for it.

300
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Topo Chico, Yeah, topo cheek. What is something you think

301
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: is overrated?

302
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 4: I think the Lakers, you know, I think every year

303
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: we're like talking about the Lakers as if they have

304
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: like this chance at a title. And I don't know

305
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: how it is to be a Los Angeles fan, but

306
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: I'm looking at them like the guys are not in

307
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: a conversation, no championship. They haven't been since Yeah, yeah,

308
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: you know.

309
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Lakers from the mbia. Yeah there. Actually,

310
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: forget the franchise.

311
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just the Lebron fans. I don't know.

312
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, although I feel like it wasn't like this when

313
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: he was in Cleveland, right, Like the ESPN was not

314
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: leading off every show being like Cleveland might be in trouble.

315
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: Right well, I think cause you get to combine having

316
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: the goat player with a franchise that everybody except Laker

317
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: fans hates, so it all works.

318
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 2: I get the momentum to do that.

319
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: Look as a lifelong Laker fan, I'm hurt by that take,

320
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: but I'm also one hundred percent also believe that. I'm like,

321
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: every time they're like they could do something, like, we're

322
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: not doing that, I'm always we're not doing shit. Okay,

323
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: just leave that alone. And in a way, I feel

324
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: like we're kindred spirits between raptors and Laker fans. Like

325
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: we had, we had a good thing going and then

326
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 3: we completely blew it up without properly replacing parts, and

327
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm like.

328
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Are we so what are we just gonna wait another

329
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: twelve years or something? So yeah, no, I agree. I

330
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: agree that no one should be saying that we're at

331
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: the moment in any kind of conversation given.

332
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: What we got.

333
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: But hey, and yet you're in every conversation that happens.

334
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: I think because now, especially with Bronni being there, there's

335
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: all this new intrigue and I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lebron,

336
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: but the Lakers is not a discovery zone. This is

337
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: not a place for you to play with your child

338
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: and make memories. This is a serious basketball franchise, send

339
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: that young man to the G league where he will

340
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: actually develop, and then let's talk.

341
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 4: But I'm a fan of the nepotism though I'm a

342
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 4: fan of it.

343
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's la you know, it wouldn't happen any

344
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 3: other way.

345
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: Had to be the Lakers for something like that, for sure.

346
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, like, is Lebron the l Like if the

347
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: Lakers had to be a single player throughout the history

348
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: of the NBA, I'm sure Lakers fans would want themselves

349
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: to be Kobe. But I feel like they're actually Lebron.

350
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: Why is that because they're the second best ever, they're

351
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: the second greatest, right or at least you know, the

352
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: it varies depending and people love to hate both the

353
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: Lakers and Lebron.

354
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.

355
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he isn't.

356
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: I mean, he, like Kobe was like the one who's like, no, yeah,

357
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: hate me so I can like traumatize you in your

358
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: own arena was his whole thing. I think with Lebron,

359
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: he just hasn't played with the Lakers enough I think

360
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: to be able to be like when people think of

361
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: the Lakers, they think of Lebron, because I think people

362
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: would think in l A people would think of magic

363
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: before Lebron. I would say, like Kobe saying he's the

364
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: defining player, I'm saying, if we're doing allegories, also both

365
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: and Kobe stayed in the same place their whole career,

366
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: whereas the same can't be said for the Lakers.

367
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, got it? Okay, interesting, Interesting, I'm just saying

368
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: the Lakers are the Lebron James of the n.

369
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 6: B A for ESPN, Like, yeah, I mean, that's a

370
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 6: good outrage article out of that election.

371
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: You believe O'Brien has dropped off ESPN.

372
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: Funk here, I'd be walking out of ESPN's headquarters like

373
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: Reagan and during this assassination attempt. Yeah, all right, let's uh,

374
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

375
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: And we're back. And as mentioned up top, we're recording

376
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: this on Tuesday. We don't know exactly what happened to

377
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: the VP debate. We don't know what happened to the

378
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: VP debate at all. But we've got a presidential election

379
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: coming up. Yeah, yeah, a very close presidential election, one

380
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: where every ingle swing state is going to be a

381
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: tight race. Now, there's a lot of times like it'll

382
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: be like Harris up three or whatever. But that's also

383
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: like the margin of error too, So most people are like,

384
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: it's that's close.

385
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: Everything is close. Nothing can be taken for granted.

386
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: And on election night, Kamala Harris would need to win

387
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: all of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania plus no freaky upsets

388
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: to get to two hundred and seventy electoral votes. Okay,

389
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: if Trump wins in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina,

390
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: he would need to flip Michigan to get to two seventy.

391
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: And so a lot of people are looking, like, you know, rightly,

392
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: Democrats are looking at North Carolina because if you take

393
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: North Carolina off the table for Trump, that could be

394
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 3: a wrap for him. And in the other direction, Republicans

395
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: looking at Michigan seeing that as a flip that could

396
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: be completely detrimental to Kamala Harris's aspiration. So earlier this week,

397
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: Michigan Democrat Alissa Slotkin raised a lot of alarms during

398
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 3: Like This virtual fundraiser when she said that her internal

399
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 3: polling from her campaign showed that Kamala is quote underwater.

400
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: She said, quote I'm not feeling my best right now

401
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: about where we are and Kamala Harris in a place

402
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 3: like Michigan, we have her underwater in our polling.

403
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: Now a place like Michigan. She didn't say Michigan specifically.

404
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: We're we got to keep it very Vagueeah, yeah, because

405
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: you don't want to be putting smoke out there for

406
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: the Michigan right now.

407
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: This could be this there's two possibilities here. It could

408
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: be that, like the polling is pretty similar, she might

409
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: not be underwater, and this could be like a fundraising

410
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: tactic to get donors to kick in more, because the

411
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: I am the underdog, help me tactic is pretty common

412
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 3: in politics. I think anyone who's ever received a fundraising email,

413
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: you'll you've seen some language.

414
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: It's like, we're getting fucking kicked. The dark shit is

415
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 2: getting kicked out of us.

416
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 7: We got jack, yeah, welp jack all caps. We're fucked Yeah,

417
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 7: thanks asshole. You got five bud no, yeah, yeah, let

418
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 7: me hold thirty bucks please. Now that's one version. But

419
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 7: this could also be a sign that Harris's unwillingness to

420
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 7: break from Biden on arming and turning a blind eye

421
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 7: to Israel's actions are manifesting in lower support than previous cycles,

422
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 7: and the primary showed that the uncommitted movement had over

423
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 7: seven hundred and fifty thousand voters across the country, one

424
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 7: hundred thousand of them in Michigan specifically.

425
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: Now, when you look at the.

426
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: Margin in the primary, like, these are the likeliest of

427
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: likely voters. They voted in the fucking primary, and.

428
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 3: Let it be known that we are uncommitted as a

429
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 3: message to be like, we're not saying we're turning our

430
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: back on y'all, but you need to under you need

431
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: to hear us as a voting block that you count

432
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: on to win elections. Right, So the margin of victory

433
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: in Michigan in twenty twenty was one hundred and fifty

434
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 3: four thousand votes. Okay, one hundred thousand of these uncommitted

435
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: voters are in Michigan. Okay, so in twenty but Biden again,

436
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: the missions. That's what's so wild about the messaging this cycle.

437
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: Like in twenty twenty, you saw how it was much

438
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 3: more being like, hey, like immigrants and people who come

439
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: to America become citizens, they are Americans too, and we

440
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: respect you. Because this was the time of putting kids

441
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: in cages or the Muslim band and things like that,

442
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 3: and the message there was like we see you, we

443
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: embrace you, we don't want it. We're not trying to

444
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: do what Trump is trying to do to you. And

445
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: this year it seems like total silence in terms of

446
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: again hearing out a key group of voters. You know,

447
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 3: Harris like wouldn't even meet with the organizers from the

448
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: uncomitted movement. And that's a huge that could be a

449
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: huge rake to step on and a self inflicted l

450
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 3: for this very very consequential election. And like when you

451
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: look at the polling, many Americans are against the occupation,

452
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 3: an ongoing siege and arming the IDF. But for Arab Americans,

453
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 3: this this election presents a very complex moral dilemma. There's

454
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: a few like a lot of journalists have been speaking

455
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 3: to people in Michigan and there's like this one I

456
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 3: think quote really sums up kind of what people are

457
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 3: feeling in Michigan. This is from doctor Masa Hyder Baboon

458
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: and she is a she owns a chain of pharmacies

459
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 3: and like like in in Michigan, lifelong Democrat.

460
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: She said, quote, we are good Americans, We are good

461
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: tax paying, law abiding citizens, but our money is being

462
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: funneled overseas and killing people that are actually physically related

463
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: to us, and to not hear these kinds of concerns

464
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: and you know, present some kind of like, you know,

465
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: the air of leadership that you hear what people are

466
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 2: asking of you, I think could be a huge, huge setback.

467
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 2: But again, if you look at a lot of the

468
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: polling that the that's made available publicly, you know, she

469
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: could be up anywhere between two to three and a

470
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: half points or something like that, but still very very close.

471
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 2: And I think for you know, you'd imagine that a

472
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: political campaign that is looking at all these fine numbers

473
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 2: and margins would see this and be like, is this

474
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: like are we ready to say something about this or

475
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: are we just going to try and bury our heads

476
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: and hope that people will hold their noses and just

477
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: vote because of you know, the possibility of tromp. So

478
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: it's so, yeah, it's a very very delicate situation that

479
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not quite sure what where this is

480
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: going to move. But I mean, based on the comments

481
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: even this week, it doesn't seem like Harris is quite

482
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: ready to change anything up if at all.

483
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's more unpopular. I mentioned this yesterday, but just

484
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: to reiterate, like, it's more unpopular with Americans than the

485
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Vietnam War in nineteen sixty eight when that war lost

486
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: Democrats the election, and Biden's actions in relation to that

487
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: are the lowest rated things like it when it comes

488
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: to like how all of this stuff is poland and right,

489
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: they just refuse to distance themselves from Yeah, yeah, so

490
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: that's not great. Well, Meanwhile, on the other side.

491
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: We wild transition to us next story. I'm sorry listeners,

492
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 3: do you know how the show moves? You know just

493
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: what we do. This is what's in the zeitgeist. So

494
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to go from the Michigan Democratic you

495
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 3: know outlook to forty three foot naked Trump anatomically correct

496
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: nude Trump.

497
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah, did they like scan him or this is

498
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: just like based on best guessing.

499
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: I think they.

500
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: I think they told Donald Trump he was gonna be

501
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: in the New two K, so he had to come

502
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: in for a body scan, and then they used that

503
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: data to then create this forty three foot tall monstrosity.

504
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: I think so. A group of anonymous artists recently erected

505
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 3: a forty three foot tall statue depicting again an anatomically

506
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: correct nude Donald Trump. And it was installed on the fifteen,

507
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: which is the interstate that you take, like if you're

508
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: driving from La to Vegas, Like, I mean, that's how

509
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: most Azelinos know it. That's how you get to Las Vegas,

510
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: just outside of Las Vegas. And the intent of the nudity,

511
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: according to the artist, was quote intentional, serving as a

512
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of

513
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 3: public of political figures, well Republicans and conservatives. They freaked

514
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 3: out online. The Nevada Republican Party put out a statement

515
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 3: that said, quote, while families drive through Las Vegas, they

516
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 3: are forced to view this offensive marionette designed intentionally for

517
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: shock value rather than meaningful dialogue. Another person on Twitter,

518
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: who's like our right wing influencer said, quote.

519
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: All caps political violence.

520
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 3: Nevada Democrats have hung a forty three foot tall, six

521
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: thousand pounds naked President Trump in effigy near Las Vegas

522
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: on Interstate fifteen. The display costs five hundred and fifty

523
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. It is designed to incite violence against and

524
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: on behalf.

525
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: Of the former president. Is what this is supposed to do?

526
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: What the fuck does that mean? So? Incite violence on

527
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: I get against yeah, and on behalf people are gonna

528
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: see it and be like that is a lawyer and

529
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: like people if.

530
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: It's on behalf, it's there so offended that like I'm

531
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 3: gonna have to turn up on a bunch of people

532
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 3: now because you guys made fun of our guy.

533
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: But also the other part is I'm like a doll

534
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: with fungi.

535
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: Fallis is not meant to be like the bat signal

536
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: to like activate a bunch of Manchurian candidates for some

537
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 3: like dark day of violence. But it is wild again,

538
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: Like we always talk about how like laughter and ridicule

539
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 3: is truly like the most like potent weapon against like

540
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: authoritarian types.

541
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, and Donald Trump, like yeah, just reading and

542
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: seeing like what he says on a daily basis, like

543
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: being made fun of is the most humiliating thing that

544
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: he can imagine. Yeah, satire quite opposer. And that's the

545
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: worst thing.

546
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: That little thing thing between the guy's legs, that's us

547
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: And they're making fun of us.

548
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 2: That's what they're trying to say about us. That's not true.

549
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: That's the violence they're talking about right there.

550
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: Right right, Yeah, It's it's truly like the attack on

551
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: the like physical masculinity part, that this is a bridge

552
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: too far. Forget the stuff we say about immigrants or

553
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: any whatever people, we dehumanize the fact that you did this. No, no, no,

554
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 3: we can't stand by this. And apparently this statue is

555
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: like doing a whole tour. So look out for dates

556
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 3: near you where you can watch people scream at this

557
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: this statue.

558
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: And cry days on my website.

559
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, come through it.

560
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is not the first time that

561
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: we've seen a nude Trump as. Yeah, much as I

562
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: may enjoy looking at the nude form of Donald Trump,

563
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of other people might not

564
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: enjoy it based on some of these reactions, But I

565
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: it taps into I mean, there's like the Old Emperor's

566
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: New Clothes folk tale about the vein emperor who like

567
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: gets exposed walking around naked in front of his constituents.

568
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: But I think it's also like the way that they

569
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: depict him, the way they depict Donald Trump right in

570
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: the NFTs, in the AI art that they put out

571
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: of him. He looks like, you know, a Hemsworth, like

572
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: a long lost Hemsworth brother, Like he's just like shredded

573
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: up and so I mean, showing something that is actually

574
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: realistic depicture of what he must look like based on

575
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: how those clothes sit on him, probably is doing a

576
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: public service to two people. And also like what we've

577
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: heard from sexual partners. But yeah, so I don't know.

578
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: I think I allow it. Miles.

579
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: That's where I I feel like, in a way, you

580
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: probably still would have upset them even if you were

581
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: like Tidy Whitey's you know what I mean, because I

582
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: think to your point, right, it's all about projecting this

583
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 3: like powerful masculine figure that's like ready for action, like

584
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: and you know, like you said, looking like a Marvel

585
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 3: comic book character. So even if you just saw like

586
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: some regular astitude in his underwear, they'd be like, oh fuck, man,

587
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: don't make it real. But yeah, we'll see, well you

588
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: see me, Yeah we'll see again. I think that like

589
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: they really are taking this place around the country. I

590
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: don't know if this is like for the election or

591
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 3: maybe just generally speaking, but yeah, that is that is

592
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: that's that's the point of this is going to be

593
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 3: a tour at some point. So and again, like you said,

594
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: not the first time, like there were like new NW

595
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: Trump statues like in New York In LA and San

596
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: Francisco a few years ago.

597
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: There's this always seems to.

598
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: Be a like you say, just just just low hanging

599
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: fruit to create outrage on the right.

600
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: This would be a dope thing, like to a dope

601
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: way to one up your neighbors with the twelve foot

602
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: tall skeleton for Halloween. Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

603
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: brought to you by this ship is three and a

604
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: half times taller.

605
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would but you just you do need a

606
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: crane to to fully hoist it up. But hey, maybe

607
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: we will see this on Michael's or one of those

608
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: websites for art and crafts.

609
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: And the fact that it's six thousand pounds is pretty wild,

610
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Like that's.

611
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: Really like a weight.

612
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the wind it is impressive. I don't know, I did,

613
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: like I did assume this was going to be inflatable

614
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: in some way, like I did. They built this out

615
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: of like it's original. Yeah, it's rigid. It's a rigid structure.

616
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: Does not look overly durable. But yeah, and then five

617
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a lot.

618
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but hey, but I love again that like that

619
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: sort of that the way that take is sort of

620
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 3: constructed to be like, first of all, it's like a

621
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 3: waste of money or something. It's like it cost five

622
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: hundred dollars and it's like gonna make people violent.

623
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah again, first of all, what do you think of

624
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: the economy?

625
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly what you think? What you think of the children?

626
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 3: Families are driving through are can It is a you know,

627
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 3: credibly accused sexual predator, but think think of.

628
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: The families too. At the same time, both things can

629
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: be true. All right, let's take a quick break and

630
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back and all right.

631
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: So it's been it's been a real roller coaster ride

632
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: in terms of my relationship to insects on this podcast.

633
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: Now I think I'm so Last week I was pro

634
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: I said insects underrated, very entertaining, fascinating, amazing to look at.

635
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: Then on Monday's episode, I was thought they were overrated

636
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: because we've had a mosquito just absolutely lighting up my

637
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: family in a way that I can't I can't countenance.

638
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: I will not allow it. I did catch one the

639
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: other day though, So maybe France there are weak flyers

640
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: fans my tip to you, and we've got another person

641
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: who is less on the border about his take on insects,

642
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: and that is, of course, the aforementioned Donald Trump. So

643
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: it was recently announced that the government is considering a

644
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: proposal that would list the Bethany Beach firefly among the

645
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: Endangered Species Act. The firefly is just the latest insect

646
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: to face extinction because we're currently living through what is

647
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: being called a bug apocalypse because of a bunch of things.

648
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if we've covered this before.

649
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: There's something happening called climate change in the world, and

650
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: that is leading to insect populations. Global insect populations declining

651
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,959
Speaker 1: at an unprecedented rate of up to two percent per year.

652
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 3: And I mean, I think for the first time we

653
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: heard was like all the reduction in biomass too, was

654
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 3: like the first thing. We're like, oh no, they're like

655
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: just generally things are dying. And I hear this so

656
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 3: much too about the firefly. Like anecdotally, I feel like

657
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 3: on Twitter, so many people are like, have you noticed

658
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 3: there's not as many fireflies anymore, Like in certain parts

659
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: of the country. A lot of people are saying that,

660
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 3: Like when I was a kid, they used to be everywhere,

661
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: and now like I'd like, really look for them to

662
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: show my kids. So I'm like, yes, this tracks with

663
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 3: anecdotally what I see on Twitter and just generally when

664
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: I hear from people.

665
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's not a good sign.

666
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: I just assumed that there weren't fireflies in Los Angeles,

667
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: but you.

668
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: Know there aren't. No, I'm not saying that people in

669
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: LA were, but like people in the East Coast and

670
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: like other places where there are are, Like, yo, where

671
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: are the fireflies? What is going on?

672
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: So generally this is bad for the health of our

673
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: planet because insects are a critical part of our ecosystem.

674
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: They're food for animals and fish obviously critical to pollination,

675
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: and with fewer insects, we'll just have less food for

676
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: animals because far Also we'll have less food for ourselves

677
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: because farmers rely on them to pollinate crops. And yeah,

678
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: so lots of causes urban areas, pollution, artificial light, but

679
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: the big one is climate change because of ocean rise

680
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: and depleting, drying out parts of the planet that used

681
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: to be chronically wet is leading to just not as

682
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: much natural habitat for them, and according to one biologist,

683
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: without insects, our world will slowly grind to a halt

684
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: where it cannot function without them, which sounds bad. I think, Yeah, no,

685
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: that's not good. So, which is all to say, this

686
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: is yet another problem that is going to be even

687
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: worse if Donald Trump gets re elected. In the final

688
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: days of his presidency, he upended the rules for the

689
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: Endangered Speed Act and actually made it harder to protect

690
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: wildlife from threats of human development and global warming by like,

691
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: one of the changes allowed for the use of economic

692
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: analyzes when weighing whether or not a species should be

693
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: listed under the Endangerous Species Act instead of like science.

694
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: They were like, yeah, but how much is that condo

695
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: projected to make when it goes up on top of

696
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: that mangrove forest?

697
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also like I mean the trust he I

698
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 3: don't know why bugs are always around this dude. Maybe

699
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: because he's like rotting from the inside. I guess that

700
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: is a sign of decomposition on some level.

701
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, like covered in he's like mostly hairspray at the Yeah.

702
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: Like there was then that like Mike Pence thing when

703
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: he just had a fly.

704
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 3: Was that during I think was that the vice presidential

705
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: debate when the fly was just like and I live

706
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: here now? On your head and you will talk and

707
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: nobody cares because they're all looking at a fly on

708
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: your head and that it is what it is.

709
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm getting my mic Pence moments mixed up because I

710
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: thought it was during the Trump Nancy Pelosi meeting. No,

711
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: I think that was the one where he tried to

712
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: teleport out of his body. Yeah, and that was was

713
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: the VP debate. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

714
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

715
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: So then like recently Trump again had like another weird

716
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: thing with a fly. But I like, based on your

717
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: like his past history in terms of being like I

718
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: don't like the Department of Interior or endangered species or

719
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: living things generally, this clip I think kind of tracks

720
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 3: with just how he's saying I will end all bug problems.

721
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 8: Remember there's a hat that's made that sounds like crazy

722
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 8: fly fly. Oh, I wonder where the fly came from.

723
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 8: See two years ago, I wouldn't have had a fly

724
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 8: up here. No, you're changing rapidly, but we can't take

725
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 8: it any longer.

726
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So first of all, I want it.

727
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm so interested to hear what what hat he was

728
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: gonna talk about there? But yeah, they say there's a

729
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: hat for sale, they say.

730
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: There's a hat for that hair green.

731
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: I don't like see two years ago, I wouldn't have

732
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: had a fly up here. These are the are these

733
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: that came from where? You have to look at what

734
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 3: this man is saying and being like, is he okay?

735
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 3: He said to what happened two years ago that you

736
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't have had you were in less of a dire

737
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 3: state of decomposition, so you weren't attracting flies. And then

738
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 3: but they're changing rapidly, we can't take it any longer.

739
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 3: That's like the kind of language he uses, like with immigration.

740
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: Immigration related. I think he's saying immigrants are bringing flies.

741
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 3: I don't know states, I need the whole. The whole

742
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: used to have flies. He wouldn't say that based on

743
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 3: what he's saying. He's like, yeah, they wouldn't. They weren't flies.

744
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 2: There were no.

745
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: Bugs before people came in here on the border. So

746
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 1: two years ago that wouldn't have happened.

747
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 3: But now I'm like, two years ago, I don't even

748
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 3: you're you weren't president two years ago. But hey, the

749
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 3: the the I guess the insect nemesis continues to present

750
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 3: a threat to him. But then, like on the Today

751
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 3: Show when they played that clip. They were like, oh,

752
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: that's charming.

753
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was a so that was an

754
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: old one the Today Show played in that first running

755
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: for president. So, but just before we get there, I mean,

756
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: obviously he is anti science, pro condo development. You know,

757
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: he just wants everything to be coded in a fine

758
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: layer of condos and you know, fuck any insects. That

759
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: that right, Alex is Uh, the backdrop is the most

760
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: Toronto landscape.

761
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 2: Most condos.

762
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: What's the bug situation? How many bugs you got though?

763
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, it's flies And I don't think

764
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 4: it would have been here two years ago.

765
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, damn condos. So reports suggest that if Trump got

766
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: into office again, he'll once again fuck with the Department

767
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: of the Interior, presumably just institute the same terrible policies

768
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: he had before. But also it just seems like he

769
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: hates insects. He when he first got into office, he

770
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: undid an Obama era ban on bee killing pesticides in

771
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, which one environmental group called nothing short of reckless.

772
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: And he did that just two weeks after his Department

773
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: of Agriculture decided to stop tracking the health of bees,

774
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: like at a time when people were really worried about

789
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 3: reality and now he's like, I don't know, maybe day

790
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,280

793
