Speaker 3: What's what's entailed by a Chinese wedding MC.
Speaker 4: She was running the banquet hall. There was an unscheduled
Speaker 4: singing performance by her assistant. She pulled up like multiple
Speaker 4: like it was a showbiz wedding, and she literally like
Speaker 4: pointed to like, I guess bleep that if you use this,

Speaker 2: Kirkland's signature. That's righteous, gorgeous.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: This is this was not easy, not as easy to
Speaker 4: get as it should be. This career signature shirt was
Speaker 4: sold out immediately from stores, and my coworker at the
Speaker 4: time found one at a Costco in the valley.
Speaker 1: Want to say it like van NY's wherever.
Speaker 4: That one is, And she texted medium immediately, not even
Speaker 4: saying do you want this, saying I already got you one.
Speaker 2: That's a good friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So when they sell these people like line up
Speaker 4: and then I think they I think they're not many
Speaker 4: of them make it to the stores. It's it's typically
Speaker 4: online only. We a friend friend of ours, our mutual friend,
Speaker 4: Jessica Gao is the queen of Costco, and so she
Speaker 4: she put me on, not put me on. Is it
Speaker 4: weird to pretend like someone told me about Costco?
Speaker 1: But she I think.
Speaker 2: She is an advocate and she's kind of an Ambuenca.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, she she put me onto the idea that
Speaker 4: wearing all Kirkland gear is cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she was right. And you come by it honestly.
Speaker 3: You're you are an actual shopper at Costco. You you Yeah,
Speaker 3: partake chicken bake and the food.
Speaker 1: God, I've only had one chicken bake in my life,
Speaker 1: holy ship, that is the best food. Sorry, this is
Speaker 1: really Bridgard's time.
Speaker 2: I've never had the chicken bake.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 3: I've had the pizza. I like the supreme pizza there.
Speaker 3: I like, it's just so cheesy, so ship on there.
Speaker 1: In two seconds.
Speaker 4: The chicken bake is pizza dough filled with caesar salad,
Speaker 4: hot caesar salad dressing, and like cubed the chicken, the
Speaker 4: leftover chicken. It's basically like there's their caesar salad, like
Speaker 4: like pre made caesar salad pack minus the lettuce, plus
Speaker 4: pizza dough plus cubed chicken meat.
Speaker 1: My mouth is straight up water, like, what's giving it?
Speaker 4: Viscos because that sounds it's no, it's well, the dress,
Speaker 4: the dress, Caesar dressing, so very wet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a bucket of caesar dressing. It's so much.
Speaker 4: It's It is easily the highest calory menu maybe in
Speaker 4: the whole building.
Speaker 3: In a building of incredibly calorie dense food.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, crazy pants.
Speaker 4: And then the viral thing that kids were doing, which
Speaker 4: I do agree with.
Speaker 1: It was pretty good when I tried.
Speaker 4: It is taking the glizzy, also getting a glizzy and
Speaker 4: just biting the top off of the chicken bake and
Speaker 4: then just jamming the glazzy up in there. And Jesus,
Speaker 4: it's kind it's obviously insane, but it does work.
Speaker 2: Why does it need more?
Speaker 4: I know? I mean that if you start asking yourself.
Speaker 4: That question Costco is like a tire house of cards.
Speaker 3: Really falls to the ground. Bridget We're thrilled to have
Speaker 3: you here. We're going to get to know you a
Speaker 3: little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to
Speaker 3: tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
Speaker 3: We've got an update on Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife,
Speaker 3: who is just an all around piece of work to
Speaker 3: really come into her own since teenage mutant Ninja Gebels
Speaker 3: got back into the White House, started a shitty podcast
Speaker 3: and accused people of launching terroristic threats against her family.
Speaker 3: We're gonna we're gonna look at what the police think
Speaker 3: of those terroristic threats. They are terroristic threats by way
Speaker 3: of colorful chalk writing on a pavement, the favorite method
Speaker 3: of terrorizing people of terrorists.
Speaker 1: We're gonna check out with Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: The tourism numbers are down and you'll never guess who's
Speaker 3: entered Las Vegas. It's private equity, always always good news.
Speaker 3: We'll check it with our favorite couple, Liam Neeson and
Speaker 3: Pam Anderson a couple mil more, but we did get
Speaker 3: some good details about what their brief time together was like,
Speaker 3: and then we will talk about a new trend in
Speaker 3: capitalist worker squeezing, which is that they don't want you
Speaker 3: to poop and they're trying to make a no pooping
Speaker 3: on company time movement happen. All of that plenty more,
Speaker 3: But first, Bridger, we do like to ask our guest,
Speaker 3: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 3: who you are?
Speaker 2: The most recent thing I searched this morning was Genshaw
Speaker 2: out win.
Speaker 3: And when are you going to meet her there at
Speaker 3: the prison?
Speaker 2: Like whin?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll be leaning against a car, smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 2: It's very Ocean's eleven. We're going to pull a highs
Speaker 2: yet No, I uh yeah, I was wondering. And it's
Speaker 2: actually tomorrow, strangely enough, so wow, I mean hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, December tenth, today is Genshaw Day for all to celebrate.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's ready to go.
Speaker 1: Nice. Are you so you're a fan? I'm assuming Yes
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, boys, No, I'm from Salt Lake
Speaker 2: City and I've started for Better or Worse recapping the
Speaker 2: show for my podcast, and so it's a you know,
Speaker 2: I have to be on top of this sort of thing.
Speaker 2: But I've followed the whole journey. And I'm just so
Speaker 2: curious as to what this woman's life is going to
Speaker 2: be from here on out, because she like ruined thousands
Speaker 2: of people's lives and the idea of her actually not
Speaker 2: being a I mean, she must be a psychopath. I
Speaker 2: can't imagine her behavior has really changed. But maybe, I
Speaker 2: mean this could be a whole a new thing that
Speaker 2: shows me hope and humanity.
Speaker 1: Who knows. Yeah, she comes back completely reformed.
Speaker 3: And just goes into helping people around Salt Lake City. Right,
Speaker 3: what what exactly did she get caught doing? Was it
Speaker 3: like a Ponzi scheme?
Speaker 2: No, they were like contacting mostly senior citizens and like
Speaker 2: telling them that they could like launch businesses and then
Speaker 2: emptying their bank accounts essentially nice.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Yeah, I'm on her Wikipedia page, which really
Speaker 4: charmingly just describes us as legal issues, like she got
Speaker 4: called over for speed yeah, and then and then goes
Speaker 4: into wire fraud and money laundering and connection with a
Speaker 4: telemarketing scheme which goes pretty rough kind of.
Speaker 3: So this happened like as she was joining Real Housewives
Speaker 3: of Salt Lake City, right, Like she became a star
Speaker 3: on that show, and we're were people like kind of
Speaker 3: putting it together based on what she was doing on
Speaker 3: that show, or like was the spotlight? Did that have
Speaker 3: anything to do with her getting caught?
Speaker 2: I think the spot I must have had something to
Speaker 2: do with it, which is why I think like she
Speaker 2: must be a true psychopath because she had been doing
Speaker 2: this for a long time and obviously thought she was
Speaker 2: never going to get caught. She felt like she could
Speaker 2: be the star of a TV show and never I
Speaker 2: mean she was dry. I mean, like the amount of
Speaker 2: money she seemed to have never made sense with what
Speaker 2: the job she was talking about. It was all just
Speaker 2: very unclear. But I can't imagine that like law enforcement
Speaker 2: was watching the show and then put it together right,
Speaker 2: although that, I mean, that'd be incredible.
Speaker 1: I do have this.
Speaker 4: Little question, sorry, I saw on the Wikipedia because the
Speaker 4: scam was like just this version of like business coaching,
Speaker 4: like we're gonna we're gonna build like a business website
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 1: I guess it's the draining bank accounts part that's like
Speaker 1: not so good. I'm just like all this stuff is
Speaker 1: a scam anyway. I'm just like, yeah, what is.
Speaker 3: A line between this and every other capitalist enterprise? Like
Speaker 3: I maybe just poisoned in that regard. I had a Richard,
Speaker 3: do you has the recent uptick in like I guess
Speaker 3: Mormon shit in pop culture? Does that instill you with
Speaker 3: any like hometown?
Speaker 4: Like, are these the the SLC celebs that like you've
Speaker 4: been waiting for?
Speaker 2: These are the people I want representing me in my culture?
Speaker 1: For Sureah?
Speaker 2: No, it's it's It's been a very confusing thing for
Speaker 2: me because especially with like the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Speaker 2: Initially I found the show so boring because I was
Speaker 2: just like, these are essentially women I went to high
Speaker 2: school with. I don't understand why this is so interesting people.
Speaker 2: But then like I got into the rhythm of it,
Speaker 2: and I realized, oh yeah, this must be so exotic.
Speaker 2: It's often I'm like I feel like I immigrated from
Speaker 2: another country where I'm like, the culture of Utah is
Speaker 2: so far removed from what the majority of Americans experience,
Speaker 2: So I can see why it's like people are like
Speaker 2: what are they doing? Why do they do any of this?
Speaker 3: So it's not just like goat like the Stanley Cups
Speaker 3: like came from the like those reality shows like that,
Speaker 3: that whole trend like came from that. So people aren't
Speaker 3: just like pointing and laughing. People are like, it's like
Speaker 3: aspirational for people to like look at these people's lives.
Speaker 3: And I think dirty Sprite also came from there at all?
Speaker 3: All the dirty so dirty soa probably not the probably
Speaker 3: not the one that's dirty, the only one I didn't
Speaker 3: come from. Did they get the idea from future if
Speaker 3: instead of like having the promothecy like the cough syrup
Speaker 3: in there, we put a flavor cocon oaconut mill syrup.
Speaker 4: I mean, there is like a world where they're just
Speaker 4: like we can safely co opt these trends and you know,
Speaker 4: until it gets outside of Salt Lake City basically because
Speaker 4: like you know, people aren't supposed to know about this
Speaker 4: other ship where where we could be our own culture
Speaker 4: and take you know a few borrow some words whatever,
Speaker 4: who care.
Speaker 2: Right, just kind of integrate them in. So yeah, but
Speaker 2: I think Mormon's for I mean, at least since blogging began, weirdly,
Speaker 2: Mormon women have been very influential on culture. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: bizarre because yeah, it's like it's so aspirational because their lives,
Speaker 2: at least in photos or good recipes look wonder Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, the castle role culture, right exactly. Is there
Speaker 3: anything that so you grew up in Salt Lake City? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: is there anything that stands out to you that like
Speaker 3: you thought was normal and then you like got outside
Speaker 3: of Salt Lake City and you're like, oh, that's that's
Speaker 3: very particular to where where I grew up.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this recently. I was thinking about,
Speaker 2: like all of the teachers through my public education would
Speaker 2: in the morning would be drinking diet coke. And it
Speaker 2: occurred to me recently like people in other states or
Speaker 2: other cities probably their teachers, like they probably smelled coffee
Speaker 2: in the school or whatever.
Speaker 3: Because oh yeah, all my teachers smelled like coffee all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 2: Right, And that just was I mean that maybe one
Speaker 2: in fifty teachers might have had coffee, but I can't
Speaker 2: remember any of them. So you would see a can
Speaker 2: of diet coke at seven thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I used to My first job out of college after
Speaker 3: being a pool boy was at ABC News and I
Speaker 3: worked on the same floor as Diane Sawyer and she
Speaker 3: would house diet coke like she you know, she was
Speaker 3: up for Good Morning America, like four in the morning.
Speaker 3: She would go through like a six pack by the time,
Speaker 3: like I was walking into the office. It was fucking crazy.
Speaker 3: So she was just peeing all the time. It just
Speaker 3: was so irredition that seemed terrible. Doesn't that seem like
Speaker 3: a terrible way to get your caffeine? Bridger, what's something
Speaker 3: you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I was thinking about was buying rocks.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've ever had to buy rocks,
Speaker 2: but recently I had to buy some rocks and the
Speaker 2: experience was incredible. It was so every element of it
Speaker 2: was so not what I expected. I had to go
Speaker 2: to like a landscape supply center, and it felt so
Speaker 2: far removed from La. The two people just knew about
Speaker 2: landscape like they knew about rocks and dirt they didn't.
Speaker 2: And then I bought a pound of seventy five pounds
Speaker 2: of rocks. It costs twenty dollars. Wow, I mean I
Speaker 2: would have assumed that's like one hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: Seventy five pounds of anything for twenty dollars is an
Speaker 2: amazing deal. So it just felt great to be like
Speaker 2: walking away with this thing I could barely carry, and
Speaker 2: I had spent twenty dollars on it, and they knew,
Speaker 2: you know, they knew about every type of rocks.
Speaker 1: It was just very a rock though, What are we
Speaker 1: talking about?
Speaker 2: These were well, of course I got the absolute just
Speaker 2: cheapest rocks, but I had to buy some. I was
Speaker 2: looking for white rocks because our dog has been eating
Speaker 2: all of the dirt in our house plants, so I
Speaker 2: was like covered with rocks. But they didn't have entirely.
Speaker 2: So they're kind of like a beige, sandy colored rock
Speaker 2: that are each about the size of a large potato. Okay,
Speaker 2: right right, because I couldn't. We didn't want rocks that
Speaker 2: she could swallow, yeah yeah, yeah, or even take up
Speaker 2: in her mouth. So as plain ass rocks do would
Speaker 2: you ever?
Speaker 3: Like? Now, walk around and it's like that's like the
Speaker 3: border right there. There's pretty money sitting around here.
Speaker 2: I finally found my way out of the show business. No,
Speaker 2: I really I would recommend buying rocks. It's very nice.
Speaker 2: You find a nice local landscape store and go buy
Speaker 2: yourself some rocks.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seventy five dollars seventy five pounds for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine?
Speaker 1: I can't?
Speaker 2: That means wrong to me, I know, I felt. I
Speaker 2: was like, well, this doesn't add up in any way.
Speaker 2: They could have charged me whatever they wanted.
Speaker 3: Right, I feel like that at that point, you're almost
Speaker 3: like paying people to just like take them out of
Speaker 3: there so heavy. Could you like just get this out
Speaker 3: of here. We'll give you a half off, just like
Speaker 3: please get these wrongs out of our rock store, or
Speaker 3: like a gym situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did I ever tell you guys about.
Speaker 3: My when I lived in Brooklyn, like many many, many
Speaker 3: years ago, my idea for a gym, which is just
Speaker 3: a warehouse with a huge, huge, like forty foot tall
Speaker 3: pile of sand in the middle of it, and for
Speaker 3: fifty dollars a month, you could climb the pile and
Speaker 3: for fifty dollars, or for fifty dollars a month you
Speaker 3: could punch the pile and for seventy five you could
Speaker 3: climb or punch it.
Speaker 1: And that's the only rule of the gym.
Speaker 2: Was there any what about like moving the sand into
Speaker 2: a different hill of sand.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking about a different level as member there,
Speaker 3: that's really yeah, you want to go to the help
Speaker 3: build the second pile.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about membership.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to build a gym that was an
Speaker 4: enormous pile of sand in a Brooklyn warehouse, which.
Speaker 1: I guess doesn't really exist here.
Speaker 4: The most difficult thing to attain about that now would
Speaker 4: be the Brooklyn warehouse that you.
Speaker 3: That's right, you got to you gotta move elsewhere, man,
Speaker 3: Harlem warehouse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what uh? What's something?
Speaker 4: Bridge?
Speaker 3: Do you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Paper towels? Mm hmmm, huge waste of time and money.
Speaker 2: I my boyfriend insists on buying paper towels, and I
Speaker 2: refuse to use them. I use napkins I've collected from
Speaker 2: takeout or microfiber cloths, ought a bunch of those. Why
Speaker 2: anyone buys a paper towel makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Again, napkins, they're just fucking given away for free here exactly.
Speaker 2: They're kind of the rocks of food.
Speaker 3: You've got a nose for deals. We have so many
Speaker 3: free napkins, and like, we have drawers just stuffed with
Speaker 3: free napkins and free.
Speaker 2: I love hearing, yeah, because I have a I have
Speaker 2: a drawer that's just chaos. You open it. Unfortunately, I
Speaker 2: had to open it in front of company recently, and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this is this is actually.
Speaker 3: Like people over for Thanksgiving and like we're putting out
Speaker 3: the dessert more like here's a Domino's napkin from four
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 2: Chipotle napkins just pouring out Jersey mikes. No, that is
Speaker 2: the best, but so much.
Speaker 4: I've done the dumber thing and I basically just used
Speaker 4: paper towels as napkins, which is.
Speaker 1: So much worse. England over there, Yeah, exactly, well I do,
Speaker 1: I do. I do get the my costco so they
Speaker 1: are a little cheaper.
Speaker 3: You get a bad roll of paper towels that like
Speaker 3: doesn't care right, and like the things are just like
Speaker 3: coming apart.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, paper towels and plastic wrap. If I when
Speaker 2: I buy those, I buy the cheapest version, and then
Speaker 2: it's just even harder. It makes my life so much harder.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you tell yourself you hate them, but then
Speaker 4: if you spend too much, then you become addicted.
Speaker 1: Listen, there's two powers pretty bad there. You got to
Speaker 1: be in the middle ground, the Golden Bounty.
Speaker 3: You know, when you like get that bounty, you're like,
Speaker 3: oh god, there's things like a non Newtonian souff like
Speaker 3: just things shouldn't exist in nature where's the other ones?
Speaker 3: Just yeah, like it's got the serrated lines, but then
Speaker 3: like you tear it and it just like won't tear
Speaker 3: along those lines. The role, Yeah, yeah, it's just a
Speaker 3: lot of like triangular ripped oh yeah, squares paper towel
Speaker 3: without a clean rip.
Speaker 2: It's just not a good sight.
Speaker 1: Humiliating. It's humiliating as well.
Speaker 4: I love I love the institutional paper towel role that
Speaker 4: doesn't even pretend to have perforations, just big like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that's.
Speaker 3: Like which meant to be in a like dispenser that
Speaker 3: has the ripping mechanism on it. But yeah, and so
Speaker 3: it's just it's just like a big sheet of like
Speaker 3: vertically on top.
Speaker 1: Of the thing that is broken. Yeah, and then like.
Speaker 3: Just like an elementary school art teacher's roll of paper
Speaker 3: that goes next to the big slicer thing. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what we used to dry our hands in my household.
Speaker 3: All right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back,
Speaker 3: we'll get into some news. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 3: we're back, and how about you guys up on Katie Miller.
Speaker 1: Katie Miller.
Speaker 2: Interestingly, I was not aware that she was Stephen Miller's wife.
Speaker 2: I didn't know he had ever had any relationship with
Speaker 2: another human being.
Speaker 1: So it seems to range doesn't.
Speaker 2: They have children, Like, yeah, you can't imagine that man reproducing.
Speaker 4: It's it's very miird sexually, I assume like a sort
Speaker 4: of a budding process or like.
Speaker 2: Like coming in like regurgitating another version mouth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is very vivid to me. But every other
Speaker 4: version of human reproduction not.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, There's there's a wild clip where like his
Speaker 3: wife went on the Jesse Waters Show, and Jesse Waters
Speaker 3: is like, you know, doing a post of waters World.
Speaker 3: All he's doing like a poor man's version of Don Draper,
Speaker 3: like he watched mad Men and was like this, this
Speaker 3: is it.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm doing for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3: And he has her on and he called He's like
Speaker 3: and you're of course married to the sexual matador, and oh,
Speaker 3: we don't know what that meant. But they both started
Speaker 3: laughing so hard that it was like, wait, what she
Speaker 3: thinks it's a.
Speaker 4: She's like, oh well, or it's like a maga inside joke,
Speaker 4: I guess, But it also seemed like they were fucking
Speaker 4: like was what was the impression that yeah, that she
Speaker 4: and Jesse were because like they had like a very
Speaker 4: warm energy as they talked about her husband being a
Speaker 4: sexual matador, which feels like feels like it could be
Speaker 4: an inside joke between people like yeah, people who are
Speaker 4: cheating on their spouse being like, yeah, every time you
Speaker 4: try to have sex with him, he's like out of.
Speaker 1: And then they laughed way too hard about that. But yeah.
Speaker 3: So she has started a shitty podcast where she just
Speaker 3: like shows off complete lack of conversation skills. She's made
Speaker 3: some really memorable appearances on debate shows where she's so
Speaker 3: easily frazzled. It feels like she's engaging in self harm
Speaker 3: by even like appearing on the panel. Like there's one
Speaker 3: where like the person just like won an argum met
Speaker 3: with her and rather than just like, you know, you
Speaker 3: don't it's not like they were like winner or anything
Speaker 3: like that. You just move on to the next thing.
Speaker 3: But instead she just started screaming that she was gonna
Speaker 3: have them deported. She was like, you better get your
Speaker 3: papers in wine. It was like, really, she just went
Speaker 3: full villain movie villain, Like right away.
Speaker 2: What's the content of her podcast?
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it's just her talking to people about how yeah,
Speaker 3: they say something like nice but not quite nice enough.
Speaker 3: Nice enough, and she's like, you better get your fucking
Speaker 3: papers in order. Called you better get your fucking papers
Speaker 3: in order.
Speaker 2: With Pati Villa, every guess is just dragged if ice scream.
Speaker 3: But she's also done a really good job of pretending
Speaker 3: that her family is a victim of I guess like anything.
Speaker 3: So when people in their Arlington neighborhood were like, get
Speaker 3: this human trash the fuck out of here, kind of
Speaker 3: like not really, they protested in the most gentle way
Speaker 3: that somebody could protest, while you know, saying the truth.
Speaker 3: They wrote, Miller is praying on families. Not not like
Speaker 3: on their house. They wrote it on the sidewalk of
Speaker 3: their street in really nice, like light colored chalk, Like
Speaker 3: it was like a nice blue and then like it's
Speaker 3: like very Easter egg colors.
Speaker 1: I mean it is it is kids chalk. It is
Speaker 1: the only sidewalk chalk that really there is.
Speaker 4: Right, Yes, I don't have kids, but it feels like
Speaker 4: it's always got it's that or white chalk.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, they don't have like dark jewel tone.
Speaker 1: Shock. Yeah, and you know the Miller is really like
Speaker 1: white chalk white. There's something about it.
Speaker 3: I just prefer Yeah, but she so she responded to
Speaker 3: that by saying people were making terroristic threats to her
Speaker 3: and doxing her, and it got so bad that they
Speaker 3: had to list their nearly four million dollar mansion, which
Speaker 3: when you think about that, that sucks you guys, and like,
Speaker 3: we're all, we're all for pushing back against fascism on
Speaker 3: this show, but like, when you have to list your
Speaker 3: four million dollar.
Speaker 1: Mansion, you can't be uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I've been through it so many times.
Speaker 1: I know lots they have to buy now for their
Speaker 1: new mansion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: But we got the police report about the protests and
Speaker 3: the analysis by the police, who again don't they're not
Speaker 3: fully against overdoing it to protect people who live in
Speaker 3: four million dollars at the homes. That's kind of the
Speaker 3: police thing. But this Arlington police report kind of undermines
Speaker 3: her characterization of the protests. They said the messages were
Speaker 3: non threatening and alluded to political issues such as immigration,
Speaker 3: transgender rights, DEI, and white supremacy.
Speaker 1: So to County Police, welcome to the resistance.
Speaker 3: That's right, Ay cab for the next twenty minutes, no
Speaker 3: longer includes you. Yeah, so that's that's just a quick
Speaker 3: check in with them.
Speaker 4: We just like to the saddest, weakest people. These people
Speaker 4: also are like white people are the supreme. The master
Speaker 4: race is really struggling, I guess is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's hard, Andrew. We're having a hard time.
Speaker 2: Okay, we have to find neighborhoods without sidewalks, very difficult.
Speaker 4: Do you think does the handwriting in this I guess
Speaker 4: this is a podcast, but the handwriting in this in
Speaker 4: the still from the from Katie Miller is like so neat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has that kind of like she true it herself.
Speaker 3: Right, like the black rule rules from the Black Lives
Speaker 3: Matter protest that was clearly written by a Trump supporter. Yeah,
Speaker 3: or the woman who I just think they would have
Speaker 3: gone more over the top if you had done it right,
Speaker 3: they writ There's that young woman from New Jersey who
Speaker 3: recently got caught claiming that she had been like zip
Speaker 3: tied and like had Trump whoor carved into her.
Speaker 1: Back, I think.
Speaker 3: And then it was revealed her her case fell apart
Speaker 3: when it was revealed that her accomplice who had like
Speaker 3: found her and taken the pictures of her to share
Speaker 3: with police had recently googled where to find zip ties, okay,
Speaker 3: and then that she had recently googled scarification expert.
Speaker 2: So scarification expert she reached to do the cuts for
Speaker 2: actually doing it.
Speaker 4: I mean that there was the girl that did the
Speaker 4: had the backwards b on her face for Barack and
Speaker 4: like a fake black eye. I'm saying, at least at
Speaker 4: least they're making Yeah, they're making progress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, are you guys Vegas people at all?
Speaker 1: You ever go to Vegas?
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: I mean there is literally there is literally the the
Speaker 4: like the like highway like exit I guess, or the
Speaker 4: split on the way going to Vegas. I just literally
Speaker 4: like Vegas or Salt Lake City like you could makes
Speaker 4: in America.
Speaker 1: I'll just say yes.
Speaker 3: And everyone who's listening to this podcast with me on
Speaker 3: before it probably already knows that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was there.
Speaker 3: Recently, there's a new Slate article about the somewhat of
Speaker 3: a vibe shift happening in Vegas, where a lot of
Speaker 3: the stuff, like they interview a lot of people in
Speaker 3: Las Vegas who are like used to get a steak
Speaker 3: this thick for six dollars and now like those days
Speaker 3: are all gone and the numbers are not promising. The
Speaker 3: hotel occupancy has cratered, flights to Vegas have cratered. Nobody
Speaker 3: from Canada, Like Canada used to be a large portion
Speaker 3: of the tourism in Vegas.
Speaker 2: They're surprising to me that don't seem like Vegas people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, there's there's plenty of garbage. I will say.
Speaker 4: I was at a poker table with someone from Montreal
Speaker 4: and it reminded me that some of them really are
Speaker 4: Vegas people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just find that it's just because you haven't
Speaker 3: been to Vegas, so you haven't.
Speaker 1: Met the Vegas too much. You're just not okay.
Speaker 3: That's where the no, yeah, absolutely not come from. There's
Speaker 3: even an air carrier that like used to fly low
Speaker 3: cost flights from Edmonton, and like other Canadian locations, they've
Speaker 3: had a sixty percent drop off people flying to Vegas.
Speaker 3: So there's like some very straightforward explanations for this. Tourisms
Speaker 3: down nationwide, it's just not as much down as Vegas is.
Speaker 3: But there's also something that's been happening over the past
Speaker 3: couple decades that is endemic to America, which is that
Speaker 3: they were taken over by private equity. They've been taken
Speaker 3: over by private equity companies, and the private equity companies
Speaker 3: are just finding any way that they can to like
Speaker 3: bleed people dry. So like all of those like free
Speaker 3: giveaways and things like that where the idea is like
Speaker 3: get people here and then you know, the gamble gamblers
Speaker 3: will pay for it. And amazingly, like as tourism as cratered,
Speaker 3: gambling profits have gone way up like which it's the
Speaker 3: exact story of the pandemic. Like, so what they did
Speaker 3: is they during the pandemic, not as many people were coming,
Speaker 3: so they changed the rules of a bunch of the games,
Speaker 3: Like Blackjack no longer pays out at like one point five.
Speaker 3: Now it pays out at like six to five.
Speaker 4: So they've like, yeah, and we let in your notes here.
Speaker 4: I have a bit on the not a bit, I
Speaker 4: have something to say about your life. Sorry, you go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, Roulette is used to be like one of the
Speaker 3: better deals that you could get, like essentially, if you hit,
Speaker 3: they would pay you out for Like as you know
Speaker 3: about the right odds. The only thing that keeps it
Speaker 3: from being completely even odds are the green zeros that
Speaker 3: they the zero and the double zero first it was
Speaker 3: just one zero and then they were like, guys, I
Speaker 3: got a fucking crazy idea a second zero. And during
Speaker 3: the pandemic they had another brainstorm. They were like triple zeros.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, so they just keep adding record, but
Speaker 3: triple zeros are.
Speaker 1: Like illegal in Europe.
Speaker 4: Like if you're a casino operator, eat double zeros, frowned upon.
Speaker 4: Triple zero is like fully illegal. Yeah, Like it is
Speaker 4: such a juicing of the odds towards the house that
Speaker 4: is like truly disgusting.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so they do all these things to make
Speaker 3: gambling more like worse for people, more expensive, and then
Speaker 3: they do it during the pandemic to be like we
Speaker 3: got it, we got to stay afloat, and then they
Speaker 3: just never take it away and it's like all of
Speaker 3: the yeah, that's everything exactly, that's everything, like and even
Speaker 3: during the pandemic, like all these companies that were supposedly
Speaker 3: like struggling to stay afloat or reporting record profits as
Speaker 3: just like how are they getting away with this?
Speaker 1: Part of it is that gambling is a thing that
Speaker 1: you can become physically addicted to, oh right, addicted to,
Speaker 1: but like.
Speaker 4: Like changing the odds, like you might lose some people,
Speaker 4: but you hit the floor of the whales and addicts
Speaker 4: and they will just pay at whatever odds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, forever. It's really really, really sad and gross.
Speaker 3: I don't know what we call inelastic demand, which is
Speaker 3: what private equity goes around looking for and they just
Speaker 3: find anything they can it. Really it feels like like
Speaker 3: we talked about this when they first started doing it
Speaker 3: during the pandemic, that everything started feeling like airport prices.
Speaker 3: You know, like before you would like go into an
Speaker 3: airport and you'd be like, why is this bottle of
Speaker 3: water seven dollars? Like that's crazy, but like you know,
Speaker 3: it's because they have you captive, and like you can't go.
Speaker 1: Anywhere else to get a bottle of water.
Speaker 3: And now it's just like the whole capitalist like ecosystem
Speaker 3: is just like, yeah, you can't go anywhere. We're we're
Speaker 3: doing this just everywhere. It's just airport prices all the
Speaker 3: way down.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: The thing I've noticed is charging for sauce. Have you
Speaker 2: noticed now if there's a sauce, you have to pay
Speaker 2: for the sauce. Oh yeah, it's ridiculous. Sauce should always
Speaker 2: be free.
Speaker 3: Yeah, free, sauce makes sell more food.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll buy more of your food if I can
Speaker 2: dip it in something right.
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah.
Speaker 4: The Vegas thing is like, I mean, the thing is,
Speaker 4: it's like, as someone who isn't even particularly a believer
Speaker 4: in capitalism, I don't I truly don't understand why no
Speaker 4: casino owner has just been like, hey, we're just gonna
Speaker 4: zag when everyone else is zigging and just charge less
Speaker 4: for this ship that we already will definitely still be
Speaker 4: making a profit on. It's really weird to not just
Speaker 4: be like, hey, this is the casino that you can
Speaker 4: afford to bring your family, Like I don't, well, I
Speaker 4: mean yeah, or whatever, or or you the person who
Speaker 4: might not be in the one percent. We you there's
Speaker 4: a market for you, come to this casino.
Speaker 3: The only really fun night I've had in Vegas was
Speaker 3: that there was a casino that had like a burger
Speaker 3: king in it, and that I think that was it.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like like there were.
Speaker 2: No you were in a burger king.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yea, a burger king was lot machines. No, it
Speaker 3: had a Irish theme. There are people like little people
Speaker 3: walking around with like Leprechaun costume. What and it was
Speaker 3: like the lowest limit, like you could play craps and
Speaker 3: like not lose all your money within thirty minutes. And
Speaker 3: like that's where I like learned to play craps, Like
Speaker 3: you could play the whole night. And it was just
Speaker 3: I think it was in the basement of like a
Speaker 3: real casino and there's like, yeah, no, let's rend it
Speaker 3: out to them, and they just everything has gone in
Speaker 3: the other direction now, like all the blackjack tables are
Speaker 3: fifty dollars minimums, and yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean it is the story of like maybe this
Speaker 4: is just a starker example of how private equity works,
Speaker 4: but like they literally have no regard for the future,
Speaker 4: like even that, right, this is a predatory industry, but
Speaker 4: let's imagine it sort of wasn't, Like what the way
Speaker 4: you keep this industry alive is by introducing young people
Speaker 4: to the fun of gambling, right, And again I'm saying
Speaker 4: this this is insane and maybe this is just better
Speaker 4: in general, but yeah.
Speaker 1: They're like pruning their next market away.
Speaker 2: From drive it off a cliff and then find another
Speaker 2: thing to drive off a cliff.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So anyway, I mean there were things to be
Speaker 3: driven off a cliff. I guess there's plenty of many, many.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: It's interesting. It's this thing that by nature is like
Speaker 2: to bleed people dry. And they're like, this is not
Speaker 2: bleeding people dry enough. How do we keep right? Exactly,
Speaker 2: just leave it alone.
Speaker 3: It was so profitable we remove the friction of the
Speaker 3: blood leaving their body. It's a little slow for my
Speaker 3: task exactly. Yeah, yeah, I mean this is what they've
Speaker 3: done to like veterinary care. Like the veterinary care industry
Speaker 3: over the past two decades has been taken over by
Speaker 3: private equity, and they were like, man, these fucking people
Speaker 3: will pay anything for their pets, and so now they
Speaker 3: I just had this happen. Yeah, everybody is having this
Speaker 3: happened now.
Speaker 4: Got the same procedure basically a year apart, and it
Speaker 4: was six times more expensive the second time.
Speaker 1: It was fucking crazy pants.
Speaker 2: My friend was just banned from her VET because they
Speaker 2: were charging so much that she got in a fight
Speaker 2: with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, like they're there. They need bouncers
Speaker 3: at you know, vets now. But yeah, so like things
Speaker 3: like we had a superroducer Ana jos Nie on yesterday
Speaker 3: talking about this.
Speaker 1: She was just there for.
Speaker 3: Like an f She was there during an F one event,
Speaker 3: so like that's they're still like chasing the high end
Speaker 3: of things, you know. Yeah, but then things like the
Speaker 3: thunder Down under Dance review, the Australian centric like Chippendale's
Speaker 3: is going away, you know, that's the record Magic Mike
Speaker 3: is a superior. That's exactly what she said. She was like,
Speaker 3: it's not it's not the worst thing in the world,
Speaker 3: but everything that is like kind of shitty and like
Speaker 3: feels like you're in Vegas is going away. Like the
Speaker 3: free drinks like you can get you can maybe flag
Speaker 3: down a waitress for a free drink over the course
Speaker 3: of a night, like at the hotel. They're at the casino.
Speaker 1: It's it's really like, yeah, I guess, like so clearly
Speaker 1: like we just want your money right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in a way that it already was like that,
Speaker 5: but it's just more this is kind of the ultimate
Speaker 5: version of private equity taking something over because it is
Speaker 5: like the whole formula was already set up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, tough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So gambling revenue is up, everything else is
Speaker 3: way down, and that's it. There's also this paragraph in
Speaker 3: there where like you see how this is being described
Speaker 3: by the people in Vegas like who make the decisions
Speaker 3: and have money. Oliver Levett, this is a Slate article
Speaker 3: link off two via the wayback machine. Oliver Levat, a
Speaker 3: real estate consultant at the Dentston Group Denstone Group.
Speaker 1: By the way, black.
Speaker 3: Rock is one of the private equity companies that is
Speaker 3: like fully taken from who serves as an advisor to
Speaker 3: several Vegas casino properties, said, I needed to understand that
Speaker 3: cheaper games are no longer economically prudent in the city.
Speaker 3: Between inflation what's causing that upkeep and the real villain
Speaker 3: here labor costs, including in Nevada minimum wage that jumped
Speaker 3: to twelve dollars last year. Levette argued, the salad days
Speaker 3: of low minimum blackjack have been legislated out of the fray.
Speaker 3: After all, it is telling that no matter how much
Speaker 3: Vegas tourism declines, the city's gambling revenue continues to tick up.
Speaker 3: That's not an after all, that's a counter to everything
Speaker 3: that guy just said. Everything is like they're still making
Speaker 3: more and more money and you're complaining about like having
Speaker 3: to pay people a living wage.
Speaker 1: But also to these fucking business geniuses it's like you
Speaker 1: need low cost blackjack players so that they become high
Speaker 1: like limits blackjack players. How are you not start right? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really really really I mean.
Speaker 4: Like like all places that private aquly like they literally
Speaker 4: have just like goldfish level.
Speaker 1: These alleged business geniuses cannot see beyond like a one
Speaker 1: year horizon, It's right, and that is why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's the explanation for like why we don't
Speaker 3: have toy stories in America anymore. It's like they they
Speaker 3: took over Toys r Us and they have no future.
Speaker 3: They have no like sense of the future. All they're
Speaker 3: doing is extracting as much wealth from the thing as
Speaker 3: possible and then like discarding it and they still do great.
Speaker 3: And you know it doesn't like the system set ups
Speaker 3: where there's like no disincentive for them to do that, right,
Speaker 3: And so everything's just getting worse except for the yacht
Speaker 3: sales for people who work in private equity.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 3: We'll back, we'll talk about Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson
Speaker 3: and pooping at work.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And we'd back and I don't know, how did you
Speaker 3: guys have a lot riding on the Liamnese and Pam
Speaker 3: Anderson relationship.
Speaker 2: I knew right from the start that we were putting
Speaker 2: the entire country is putting too much weight on This
Speaker 2: was the moment fell apart. They should not be responsible
Speaker 2: for the country's emotional stability.
Speaker 3: It's I mean, a Vegas article didn't mention them breaking
Speaker 3: up as anything as having connection to Las Vegas feeling
Speaker 3: so depressing lately. I mean she was just in that
Speaker 3: last show Girl movie.
Speaker 2: True, very good point.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so we we hadn't really had confirmation from them.
Speaker 3: It was just outside rumors, and right as we get
Speaker 3: the goods, we're also told they're no longer together. Pam
Speaker 3: Anderson said she spent an intimate week with Liam Neeson
Speaker 3: at his home in upstate New York. She referred to
Speaker 3: this time as their romantic lost week. I had my
Speaker 3: own room, she revealed, our assistance, both came. Even family
Speaker 3: stopped by.
Speaker 2: It's such a weird detail, like.
Speaker 4: Right, like this might have just been Also, is she
Speaker 4: talking about shooting that scene in a cabin?
Speaker 1: Right? It feels like a scene from Naked Gun.
Speaker 2: She's e the Snowman.
Speaker 1: Yea, we just we just found that was so good.
Speaker 3: I found out that Gwyneth Paltrow like thought that Tom
Speaker 3: Holland's name was Peter Parker and I was like, no,
Speaker 3: that's that's not true.
Speaker 1: Yeah. She was like, that's Peter to Robert.
Speaker 3: Downey Junior, and he was like, no, he's Tom Holland.
Speaker 3: He plays a character named Peter. You've been in four
Speaker 3: movies with him. Good for her. And then she also
Speaker 3: and this is more a testament to Marty Supreme's makeup work,
Speaker 3: but she was like to Timothy's child May she was like,
Speaker 3: you know, I actually have like a skincare thing, like
Speaker 3: I could help you out with all those like pock
Speaker 3: marks on your face. He's like, I'm I'm wearing makeup.
Speaker 1: What are you talking.
Speaker 3: This almost feels like Pam Anderson like is half remembering
Speaker 3: the scene from the movie.
Speaker 4: Because just be credulous. That's why you're such a good actors.
Speaker 4: You just believe it forever.
Speaker 1: She said.
Speaker 3: The two went to a tiny French restaurant where Nissan
Speaker 3: introduced Anderson as the future Missus Neeson okay at one point.
Speaker 3: At one point, she said, Nissan chased off a bear
Speaker 3: in his bathrobe.
Speaker 2: In that scene.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's no way these are not outtakes from that.
Speaker 4: This is just setting up that video that's coming out next.
Speaker 2: Week describing bloopers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I always was laughing when people thought, oh, that's a
Speaker 3: publicity stunt. I'm like a publicity stunt.
Speaker 1: This is real.
Speaker 3: We have real feelings. And then they were like, so
Speaker 3: you're still together. It sounds very serious. The future missus neesan.
Speaker 3: She said, I adore Liam, but we were better friends
Speaker 3: in all honesty, in philosophy, so she was.
Speaker 1: She said.
Speaker 3: The last time that they connected was Nissan surprised her
Speaker 3: by attending her performance in Casino Real at the Williamston
Speaker 3: Theater Festival. So it sounds like he's he's a little
Speaker 3: bit more smitten than maybe she is.
Speaker 2: This is probably the best way for this to end,
Speaker 2: and just kind of confusing petering out where weird.
Speaker 1: Lost weekend that she.
Speaker 2: Is great, but we're not as invested at this point.
Speaker 2: It's like if it had been real then they had
Speaker 2: broken up, the world would have been over. We would
Speaker 2: have all killed ourselves. So this is the best possible situation.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, they'll always have that weekend and we'll
Speaker 3: always have that brief period of yeah, exactly. That amazingly
Speaker 3: edited footge of their weekend. But that home movie all right.
Speaker 3: And finally, The New York Post has sparked an online
Speaker 3: debate after posting an article all about how to make
Speaker 3: yourself poop in the morning so you don't have to
Speaker 3: take a shit at work, helpfully posting some of the
Speaker 3: most unfortunate stock photo models of all time. There's like,
Speaker 3: there's like one one girl just looking dreamily off in
Speaker 3: the distance with like a toilet in the back in
Speaker 3: the background, and then there's a woman in a leather
Speaker 3: skirt who's like standing up in a way that I
Speaker 3: feel like in her mind she was like this will
Speaker 3: be used in a motrin ad, and instead they have
Speaker 3: recontextualized it, so it's like she's holding the ship into
Speaker 3: her butt.
Speaker 1: It looks like she stands up at work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and her skirt is like dark brown and a
Speaker 3: kind of weird.
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, she's like a five year old.
Speaker 4: She's like physically plugging the levee.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: We've all been in work meetings where people like, oh boy,
Speaker 3: I didn't stand up actually grab it, grasping their ass,
Speaker 3: pushing it together. But they also reported that one in
Speaker 3: three gen Z workers are too scared to use the
Speaker 3: office bathroom and this is just an overall issue. Like
Speaker 3: an Australian health department had to launch a social media
Speaker 3: campaign in twenty twenty four being like it's okay to
Speaker 3: poop at work, guys, like with dolphins and rainbows in
Speaker 3: the background. But in America, I feel like everyone's like
Speaker 3: I'm doing something bad, I'm wasting the company's money.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be mad at me. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Will say I had a I guess he was a
Speaker 4: VP at a job I used to work at that
Speaker 4: one time.
Speaker 1: I was like exiting or washing my hands or something
Speaker 1: in the bathroom. He came in.
Speaker 4: He did have a bit of business to talk to
Speaker 4: me about. Started to talking about the business, went into
Speaker 4: a stall and continued. We continued while he took a ship.
Speaker 4: And it was a little I guess, as I'm saying
Speaker 4: it out loud, legally actionable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, enjoying that. Yeah, yeah, this is that was okay.
Speaker 3: I wait for Andrew to go wash his hands and
Speaker 3: then bingo.
Speaker 1: Them. Well, taking a ship, So you do you have
Speaker 1: the files or did you finish the report? Like it
Speaker 1: was crud? You could like hear him groaning. Yeah, truly
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 4: I mean he was fully just taking a you know,
Speaker 4: middle aged man ship and continuing to talk to me
Speaker 4: about where and I couldn't leave.
Speaker 3: That's like a thing that was like a power pit
Speaker 3: play that LBJ used to do. He would like pull
Speaker 3: people into his white house bathroom and make a like
Speaker 3: have a meeting with them while making unblinking eye contact
Speaker 3: while taking a ship right looking at his notes, he
Speaker 3: was like, Yeah, that's kind of what I do to
Speaker 3: make them know whose boss.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 4: I guess that has to be in some fucking business
Speaker 4: book somewhere. I'm guessing. Even more than that was horrible
Speaker 4: was the fact that there's no way that was original.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he.
Speaker 2: Got that idea from someone else.
Speaker 3: That business book so warmed its way into like the
Speaker 3: executive class way that they think about the workplace that
Speaker 3: now they're like.
Speaker 1: And you know what, you can't shit? Yeah, you in
Speaker 1: the office.
Speaker 3: Actually, one business publication was sued for docking their employer
Speaker 3: employees pay if they spent more than ninety seconds in
Speaker 3: the bathroom. A Swiss court backed a company that was
Speaker 3: forcing workers to clock out when taking a shit, and
Speaker 3: a Michigan man was recently fired after posting an Elmo
Speaker 3: meme that said boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
Speaker 3: That's why I poop on company time. And it was
Speaker 3: a little like potty training Elma.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I don't think you should should
Speaker 2: at work. I think you go into the bathroom stall
Speaker 2: to just hide and just do whatever you want for
Speaker 2: as long as you want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do whatever you want in there, to be honest,
Speaker 3: that's your little area, that's right.
Speaker 2: Save the shitting for home, and then the bathroom sall
Speaker 2: is your playtime freedom, that's right.
Speaker 3: There's even a British company that I'm to be able
Speaker 3: to new standard toilet which was designed at a downward
Speaker 3: angle of thirteen degrees in order to cause leg strain
Speaker 3: after five minutes of sitting, to just try and get
Speaker 3: people back. But I mean this ties into like the
Speaker 3: like Amazon workers be it like not having time to
Speaker 3: clock out to or not having time to use the bathroom,
Speaker 3: and like like their efficiency numbers go down if they
Speaker 3: take a bathroom break.
Speaker 1: So you just want to start shitting on your boss's desk, folks,
Speaker 1: just I'm trying it.
Speaker 2: If they buy my diapers, that's right, So fly me
Speaker 2: with diapers and I'll stay out of.
Speaker 3: The bathroom, except yours is like into it.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, fine, I The thing.
Speaker 4: That's so crazy to me is like this can't I mean,
Speaker 4: I guess it's just psychological dominance, as we've said in
Speaker 4: different ways already, But like, there's no way this actually
Speaker 4: affects like fucking productivity. Yeah, Like there's no way someone
Speaker 4: who like has to take a shit for most of
Speaker 4: the afternoon is doing good work, right, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 3: It sounds like it does. And so somebody gets promoted
Speaker 3: for coming up with the idea of like monitoring people's
Speaker 3: bathroom use. You know, we just make them wear this
Speaker 3: like ankle monitor so we know whenever they're.
Speaker 1: Going into the bathroom. Actually, let's put it around their.
Speaker 3: Neck actually, so it looks like one of those things
Speaker 3: that explodes heads. And uh, The Running Man or Battle

Speaker 1: This thing is they keep bringing you gifts the people.
Speaker 2: The amount of objects that I've collected over the past
Speaker 2: five years is a huge problem in my life. But yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, Instagram or whatever.
Speaker 3: Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good question. Let's see. As far as
Speaker 2: professional media, I continue to recommend the television show Ripley,
Speaker 2: which I just think was so good and so underrated.
Speaker 2: And then as far as social media, the comedian Pete
Speaker 2: Zias is kind of the only reason I get on
Speaker 2: Instagram anymore. It's essentially just him recapping inside Edition, and
Speaker 2: he has a perfect voice. He's so funny and kind
Speaker 2: of the only person who's not actively embarrassing themselves on Instagram.
Speaker 3: There you go, amazing, Andrew. Where can people find you
Speaker 3: as their workI media you've been enjoying? Uh?

Speaker 3: dance really well, you know, like that's a fun genre
Speaker 3: of where.
Speaker 1: It's like what, okay people, old people crushing it.
Speaker 4: Although some of those I am like, increasingly they're going
Speaker 4: to be ais, but oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, probably half of them already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I've been fooled again.
Speaker 3: This is like the I don't know I'm not talking about.
Speaker 3: It was like, hey, guys, you know what's underrated? Watching
Speaker 3: all these these raccoons who can jump on trampolines. You
Speaker 3: were there for that humiliation and.
Speaker 2: No, I'm so sorry to hear this because I was like,
Speaker 2: that's coming for all of us.
Speaker 3: Well, I've I've always been a fan of Bears on Hammocks,
Speaker 3: which is a pre AI thing, So I thought that

Speaker 1: you'll train one to do it.
