52
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: it's great to have you back. We're going to get

53
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,

54
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things that

55
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: we're talking about today. There was a new report from

56
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: like the gold Standard of teen Mental Health and they

57
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: were like, man, kids are not doing well right now.

58
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Young teenage women, gay and lesbian teenagers are like really

59
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: struggling and there that. So this came out like a

60
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: week and a half ago. Last week the Atlantics like

61
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: hotshit new columnists came through with like his take on it,

62
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was very emblematic of how

63
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: the mainstream media is dealing with Like my overall thesis

64
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: is that this probably has something to do with like

65
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: climate change and the fact that there is an ongoing

66
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: apocalypse happening, and we're just like kind of all agreeing

67
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: to ignore it. Yeah, and he like gives it a

68
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: single sentence. He's like some climate activists, thinks that I

69
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: think it might be a climate change, but then like

70
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: goes on to a bunch of other, like wild theories.

71
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to talk about that putin tour

72
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: up the nuclear treaty. I was not up on where

73
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: we were with the nuclear treaty. So I will catch

74
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: you guys up on what that all means. In case

75
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: you weren't up on it either. Why weren't you up

76
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: on it? What? What have you been doing? It's really

77
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: it's a quie that needs to be asked, What the

78
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: fuck is my problem? We'll talk about we might talk

79
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: about some movies. Some knock at the cabin. Nice. I

80
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: know about movies. You do know about movies? Really all

81
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: I know about. So Knock at the Cabin came out

82
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back. I don't think it's like

83
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: a certified blockbuster, but it did reach number one at

84
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: the box office. So, like Bafo ish Bo and some people,

85
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: people have pointed out that it seems to there are

86
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: some potentially problematic ideas in there. I don't know. Well,

87
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the comblematic ideas in a movie, a

88
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: movie by a Knight Shamalan, which usually my philosopher king

89
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: in a horror film, I know, that's what. Well, that's

90
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: kind of my point is that, like, do we like

91
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: horror films have like you can't be like, well, the

92
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: Exorcist is promoting a satanic panic even though it did,

93
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: but like I'm still I still want to live in

94
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: the world where the Exorcist exists. Probably, So we'll talk

95
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: about that. We'll talk about maybe that new Winnie the

96
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: Pooh horror movie. Let's just talk horror movie. I just

97
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: saw aunt Man. Oh shit, well, and we're going to

98
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: talk about it. Aunt Man. I'll tell you. I'll tell

99
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: you what we will be talking about aunt Man, Magic Mike,

100
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: not a horror film. Opposite of horror Mike, delightful film

129
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: with what people are. Although I was on the New

130
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: York Times TikTok yesterday, I have to encourage people to

131
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: see this because it's maybe the dumbest piece of media

132
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: about comedy I've ever seen in my life. Like it's

133
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: just about what water bottles people have on stage. It's

134
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: like the most that's hard hitting journalism. I don't know

135
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. And then I did read some

136
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: of those comments, because you know, TikTok comments are hilarious

137
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, like even if you're getting roasted,

138
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: you're like, these kids are so fucking funny. But you know,

139
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: there were people that were just like, why aren't people

140
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: using reusable water bottles? I'm like, I I just took

141
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: the bottle that they handed me at the taping. I

142
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: didn't like call ahead to Comedy Central like I'm gonna

143
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: need a clean canteen on stage. It's just it's the

144
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: most insane thing. It's literally just about water in comedy dude.

145
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Are they trend chasing? Are they like, oh, I feel

146
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: like they just gave one kid like a TikTok assignment

147
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: and he was like what about this? Right, It's like

148
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't know anything about stand up, but he's just

149
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: noticed that we have water bottles sometimes and has a

150
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: bottled water company ever reached out to you and been like,

151
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: we would love you to influence for on our behalf

152
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: because I know what kind of makes sense. It seems

153
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: like an every times in community falling down on the job. Yeah,

154
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe it's happened to other people. I might not be

155
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: famous enough, or according to this piece, I don't drink

156
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: enough water, maybe because they do clip out like the

157
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: Robin Williams special where he has like seventeen bottles of

158
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: water on the stage and they're like some comedians move

159
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: around a lot and they get really thirsty. I'm not

160
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: exaggerating this piece, by the way, but I don't move

161
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: at all, So I think one bottle is probably good

162
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: for the whole half hour. Like, there you go. I

163
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: don't know it's wild. You have to go check it out.

164
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean, no, wonder these these teams are so depressed

165
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: about climate change because all these comedians are not using

166
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: reusable water bottles. They're just chugging seventeen bottles of water

167
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: on stage, throwing them away. And look what it's done

168
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: to our planet. You know, I can't hear for a

169
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: good time, Amy, not to watch you destroy the planet Earth. Well,

170
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: what's wild is in the last six months, I've been

171
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: doing a new bit about plastic bottles, and I'm like, oh,

172
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: you cut me. You cut me too early with this clip.

173
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: Let me let's do a follow up in a couple

174
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: of months when that's when that's been taped. So wild

175
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: The New York Times TikTok needs to get up on

176
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: their ship. I'm disappointed in there, really trying. What is

177
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Oh? Talking about gut health,

178
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm really tired. I don't want to do it anymore.

179
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: I am doing my best, but like you know, I

180
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: think my gut's okay. But I had a friend tell

181
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: me that now the new thing is like we're brushing

182
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: our teeth too much, and he was like, yeah, you

183
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: have to like brush and floss like once a day.

184
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: And I was like, nope, I don't. I'm gonna keep

185
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: three times and if I shit more, that's fine. It's

186
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: just an I can't do it. I'm so tired of it. Well,

187
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: how does that relate to gut health. We're like swallowing

188
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: too much toothpaste. No, he said, like like constantly removing

189
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: the healthy bacteria from our mouths, which is like the

190
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: first part of the digestive process is somehow having a

191
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: negative effect on gut health. I said, I can't. I

192
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: don't care. I can't care. I'm like, I want to

193
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: have tea. I don't know. You got too far. We're

194
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: also at a birthday party, so let's just say that

195
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about gut health at a

196
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: birthday party. Just does seem to be the thing that

197
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: everyone has clinged on, has decided is the most interesting

198
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: like health health trend to talk about. I know, it's

199
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: bizarre and it's sometimes it involves like poop transfusions. Yes, also,

200
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: people don't want to talk about it at birthday party.

201
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Speak for yourself, Okay, I had an entire birthday party

202
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: dedicated to poop transfusions. Good theme parties. Thank you. What

203
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? Amy? Oh, I'm getting

204
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: really back into reading books. Do you know do you

205
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,239
Speaker 1: guys do this? It's really lovely. I've been reading books,

206
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: sitting down, throwing my phone into the other room and

207
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: just like reading a book that's very dramatic, it has

208
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: like this whimsical, like you know, childlike feeling to it.

209
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Because that's the last time that I read books all

210
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: day or a lot. Yeah, I guess not maybe college. Yeah,

211
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: it's been really nice. Get out there. There's just some

212
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: great fiction and you know you can just escape. Yeah. Books,

213
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: I got so much more in books, Like right when

214
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: I graduated, I was like, I think there was just

215
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: like some internal part news, like you can't tell me

216
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: what to do, like yeah, and like college books that

217
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: i'd like skipped right after college that was the same way. Yeah.

218
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: Books are delightful. Children's books in particular, very whimsical. I've

219
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: got They're so easy to read. I know I'm tearing

220
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: through like one two of these things a week. I

221
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: love reading aloud to children. It's one of my favorite things.

222
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: Like if I'm maybe be sitting or hanging out with

223
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: my friend's kids. I'm like, I'll read it. Why is

224
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: this lady you went to college with putting me to bed?

225
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, so I can drink wine and

226
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: not do it. And I'm like, once upon a time,

227
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: like you even do a voice for the narrator. That's

228
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: just the normal part. I write every the dedications and

229
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:32,239
Speaker 1: everything you gotta. Yeah, yeah, this book is actually copyrighted

230
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three, four even I was alive. Anyways,

231
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.

232
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: We'll talk about teen anxiety and why it certainly can't

233
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: be caused by climate change. We'll be right back, and

234
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: we're back. And this guy, Derek Thompson, Derek Thomas is

235
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,119
Speaker 1: like kind of the new hot shit like Malcolm Gladwell

236
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: type guy in that he talks exactly like Malcolm Gladwell

237
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: and also is like a beloved counterfactualist. He has like

238
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: a podcast on the Ringer Network. You were going to

239
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: say below, hard beloved by many, not necessarily me. But

240
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: there's the study that came out that is very troubling,

241
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: and it's all about the extreme emotional trauma, and you know,

242
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: distress that young teenagers are in. It's worse with young

243
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: women and young gay people, but it's still like boyser

244
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: headed in the run direction, like a straight boyser head

245
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: in the rung direction. But he I did not I

246
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: was not aware that this is an update to a

247
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: past article he had written. But he's like, all right,

248
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: so last time I wrote about this, I blamed it

249
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: on phones and social media, and there is some science

250
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: that seems to indicate that's actually not the problem. And

251
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: then there's like he even gives space to like conservative perspectives,

252
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: letting like claiming that letting LGBQ trans people were not

253
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: like consulted for these statistics, So he keeps referring to

254
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: LGBTQ people letting them identify instead of like hide their

255
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: sexual orientation is like causing the problem. He's like, I

256
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: don't adhere to that, but this is like what conservatives like.

257
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: So he's like putting all these different like and there's

258
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: this part of the conversation. There's this part of the conversation.

259
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: But I want to read you the entirety of the

260
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: climate change thing. He says, some psychologists point to social media,

261
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: whereas others blame school shootings others chalk it up to

262
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: changes in parenting. Climate change activists say it's climate change.

263
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: Atlantic writers like me blather on about the decline of

264
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: physical world interactions. So it's just the climate change activists

265
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: say it's climate change. Is the whole is the entirety

266
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: of the climate change portion. He does link off to

267
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: an article that is pretty wild. It's in National Geographic

268
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, we talked to ten thousand young

269
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: people and they all expressed, like the majority of them

270
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: expressed the position that humanity is doomed. Like, which, that

271
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: seems like a big that seems like a big deal. Well, yeah,

272
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: that's been introduced into the into the equation over the

273
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: past couple decades, Right, Why won't he consider that it's

274
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: several major factors and also like one big factor that

275
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: there is. I mean, maybe a positive effect of social

276
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: media is like having being able to have a conversation

277
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: about mental health that maybe, like to nagers wouldn't have had,

278
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: you know, thirty years ago or whatever, because now people

279
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: are more comfortable being like I'm sad or I feel anxious,

280
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: you know. Right. He does mention that, Yeah, he gets

281
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: into like all possibilities like he does say, it could

282
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: be a stew of all these things, but like all

283
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: possibilities are brought up and explored, like the one you

284
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: were just talking about, the like you know, people have

285
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: better vocabulary to express these emotions. But the one that

286
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: like is just a quick aside is climate change, and

287
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: it just feels like that is has to be like

288
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: the biggest It shouldn't be like a side conversation. It

289
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: should be the main point, Like that these kids are

290
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: living through a world that we know is being poisoned

291
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: every day, and like every day the people in charge

292
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: to do nothing about it. So like there's this nihilistic

293
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: perspective and like functional like worldview of like how the

294
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: world exists, and like the jobs they're supposed to get,

295
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: like it's easier to get a job that helps that

296
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: system continue to pollute the globe, you know, Like it's

297
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: it's just like you're living in a broken society. I

298
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: feel like, yet it makes sense that you would be

299
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: struggling with anxiety and depression, so depressed that it's like

300
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: the planet you're living on will not sustain life in

301
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: some amount of years and maybe while you're still alive.

302
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: Like humans invented religion to deal with our own mortality.

303
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: So like imagine kids being like, oh wow, my mortality

304
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: is like so much more imminent than the generations before

305
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: me because the planet that we're on is like it's

306
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: just suffering. So yeah, and it feels personal to them,

307
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: my madge, and because it's like we had the information

308
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 1: and then still like drop them here like yeah, for

309
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: like with a certain amount of you know, years under

310
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: your belt, you're like, well, I actually did this too,

311
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: I've contributed to it. You know, we're all part of

312
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: the problem. And if you're a kid, you're like, wait,

313
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: they knew because our parents didn't like pay attention or care,

314
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, right, Um, so probably just I mean, yeah,

315
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: i'd be I'd be pissed. But there is also a

316
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: large factor of just like additionally, they're teenagers, and it's

317
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: fucking horrible to be a teenager, right, Yeah, it's it

318
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: is like over time, like it seems to be getting worse.

319
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: To be a teenager is like the thing that he's

320
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: trying to explain in this article, and yeah, it does

321
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: seem like the I mean the article he links off

322
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: to for his like quick aside and like that's what

323
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I do frequently wonder like how much of this is

324
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: them just like not wanting that They're just like, well, yeah,

325
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: it's climate change, but like what are we gonna do

326
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: about that? And so they just like kind of leave

327
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: it as an aside rather than write the whole article

328
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: about it. But like, yeah, the article that actually like

329
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: delves into climate anxiety among young people. Like they're talking

330
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: about how they're like, yeah, our teachers keeping like end

331
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: your generation are going to solve it for us, And

332
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: he's like, that doesn't make me feel good to you guys,

333
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: that's that makes me stressed out that you guys are

334
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: just kind of leaving this one up to us. And

335
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: also we're the ones who are dealing with the consequences.

336
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: Like you know what, by the time they could even

337
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: like the young this young generation, I sound so these

338
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: young kids, by the time they could do anything to

339
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: enact any kind of change, I feel like it'll it's

340
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: already too late, but it'll be very too late by then, right,

341
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: So thanks to a world, thanks to a world that

342
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: they exist in where it's just like the status quo

343
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: is like, but the real thing we need to talk

344
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: about is your anxiety with regards to this instead, like

345
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: even even the National Geographic article like frames the thing

346
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: as like, what do we do about climate anxiety? Now

347
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: we need some more teenage geniuses. You got to step

348
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: it up, kids, because we need you to start working

349
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: on this now. You don't want to wait to fix

350
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: climate change until you're an adult. Then guess what hit

351
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: those books again? Reading right? It's fundamental. Yeah, crack open

352
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: the Paddington books and really learn about it. Some chest

353
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: tubes or whatever, how you dooks a lab coat, some

354
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: goggles and start working on it, taking it seriously. They

355
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: are working on it. Yeah, this podcast is giving them

356
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: the most anxiety, Like do they think this is an escape?

357
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: We're we're helping them forget. Laughter is the best medicine

358
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: for people and for the planet, right, planet medicine. I've

359
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: heard a lot of people recently like make fun of

360
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: the phrase gaslighting because it's now come to me in

361
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: any form of like misleading someone, you know, like tricking

362
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: has like gaslighting has come come to replace just all lies,

363
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: decease lying. Yeah, to see, But I think that it's

364
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: probably like I think there's probably some pressure like being

365
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: put on that phrase from the fact that like the

366
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: big overarching like major lie that we're all existing under

367
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: is just this like broad scale gas lighting where like

368
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: people in charge of like, yeah, things are bad, we

369
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: get it. More like man, somebody should do something and

370
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: they're like totally and then they just like don't do anything.

371
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: They just like steer into the fucking spiral and it's yeah,

372
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: it's it is. I would understand why everything everyone feels

373
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: like they're in a constant state of being gaslight m

374
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: It totally bummed me out. Yeah yeah, but I mean

375
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope that you're not who's gaslighting you?

376
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: Who's gat Yeah? I just I I hope that like

377
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: people get better at gaslighting, get better at gaslighting, so

378
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: that we don't have to deal with this thing is overused,

379
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: I think because people are bad at it. Like if

380
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: you're really excellent at gaslighting, they don't notice. That's the

381
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: whole point. Well, you're really good at gaslighting, you don't

382
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: even notice thing has happened. But even like treating the

383
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: anxiety over climate change as a like a mental health condition,

384
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: to treat it feels like expert level gaslighting. You know. Yeah,

385
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: there's this idea that we can't treat two things at once,

386
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: Like that's what's so wild? You could just like fix

387
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: several things simultaneously maybe or start trying. Yeah, all right,

388
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: well let's talk about good news. Vladimir Putin has decided

389
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: to tear up the nuclear treaty. Um, yeah, yeah. Just

390
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: to set this up, did you see the clip of

391
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: maybe you guys covered on another show of Trump calling

392
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: it the other end word? No, No, I don't think

393
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: I did. Oh, it's pretty incredible, but it was during

394
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: his essentially the like Russian State of the Union speech.

395
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: He also like it's interesting because, like if you look

396
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: at the whole speech, he's also like doing a lot

397
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: of spending a lot of time blaming the West for

398
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: quote making pedophilia the norm in their lives and like

399
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: same sex marriage, and like just all the ship that

400
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: is like talking points on Fox News already. Like I

401
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: guess I knew that there was a overlap between Fox

402
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: News because because like in the war effort and the

403
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: ramp up to war, they were using like Tugger Carlson clips,

404
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: But it seems like it's like a real core part

405
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: of his argument for why they should like go to

406
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: war with the entire West is like a bunch of

407
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: Fox News talking points which is cool, cool. Yeah. Yeah.

408
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: So most consequentially, he announced that Russia is suspending their

409
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: participation in the New Start, which is the last remaining

410
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: nuclear arms control treaty between Russia and the US, which

411
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: it seems like the major component of the treaty is

412
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: that both countries are permitted to conduct conduct inspections of

413
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: each other's weapon sites. But apparently that hasn't been happening

414
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: since before the pandemic. So I don't know. Some people

415
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: are saying so really like this doesn't fundamentally change the

416
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: facts on the ground so much. But I don't think

417
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: anyone thinks it's a good sign. But things are, like anyone,

418
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thinks that except Kaitlyn. Caitlyn take

419
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: it away. Yes, okay, I was gonna say that, Um,

420
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, just add that to the list of things

421
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: that teenagers should be anxious and depressed about. Are you know, impending? Yeah,

422
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: clear war. But we had this, I mean, this was

423
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: the this is what we we at least I did

424
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: back in the like eighties that my first member. It

425
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: took place in a world where like Russia supposedly had

426
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: like a globe ending number of nuclear weapons pointed at

427
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: whatever you know city you were in. So I the Yeah,

428
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, but so on that one, I'm gonna

429
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: give it a big tough enough kids, because we've been

430
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: dealing with this forever. Yeah, this is old news. Okay. Yeah,

431
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: and we wore those plaid shirts in high school too, Okay,

432
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: so you didn't come up with this shit. Yeah, I

433
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: do feel like, I don't know, I'm always comforted by

434
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: very wrong but just like human beings thirst for wealth,

435
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: like I just am like, I don't know, It's always

436
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: like made me think nuclear war won't happen because I

437
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: just think everyone wants to keep staying alive and getting

438
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: money and running our pedophile rings right exactly profitable also

439
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: known as Hollywood what. I always sort of agree with them,

440
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: like the Fox News, like pedophilia paranoia. I'm like, I

441
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: mean kind of you know what I yeah, yeah, I

442
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: wish that they would police it a little more on

443
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: their side, but yeah, plenty of it. Yeah they A

444
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, the State Department said Russia was already

445
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: violating the treaty, and Russia countered that the US were

446
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: the ones violating the treaty. So it sounds like it's

447
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: at a mature place the conversation. But yeah, I know

448
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: what you mean. I did have the thought because I

449
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: guess Shijimpang is traveling to Moscow to like who knows what.

450
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: But I think people's biggest fear is like a world

451
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: war where China and Russia joined sides, and the you know,

452
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: neo kan neoliberal position on that has always been like,

453
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: but globalism makes that more unlikely because we all have

454
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: economic reasons to you know, join join hands and not

455
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: kill each other's entire population. H But I just don't know.

456
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful thing. Just kidding that is such a

457
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Only kill them over a long period of time, slowly,

458
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: well guess them about how we're all in it together,

459
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: and literally killing them with gas. Yes. I do also

460
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: like in this speech that he was like talked about

461
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: the gender neutral god. Yeah, that he's fearing. It's totally

462
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: just right talking points from Yeah, there we go. So

463
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see. That's that's how That's how I'll

464
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: end that story. Nice, We'll see. All right, let's take

465
00:30:52,360 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: another quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,

466
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: and let's talk horror movies. Horror films sometimes scary feelings

467
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: feel good in a place like this. I think we

468
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: can all agree. We come to this place to laugh,

469
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: to cry, to be scared. Thank you. You know. My

470
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: boyfriend lives in Omaha. Long story, I'll tell you later.

471
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: But he was visiting La and we went to a

472
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: movie and everyone started clapping when Nicole Kidman came on screen,

473
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: and he was like, what the hell is going on?

474
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: He had never seen it. They don't like have a lot.

475
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: They don't really have in Omaha. Maybe they have one,

476
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: but it's definitely not like an iconic moment in their lives.

477
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: And the entire theater erupted in applause, and he was

478
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know what this shit's weird out here.

479
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: He's like, did she die? What is called Kidman? Okay?

480
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, she's fine. She just she inspires us

481
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: to watch the movie that we already are here to watch. Yeah,

482
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: was telling us to come to the movies. While we're

483
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: at the movies and we're excited, your movie theaters don't

484
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: have an ad for the movie theater that you're already in.

485
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: What oh Maha, Okay. And it's not even for concessions.

486
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: It's not like you know, like go get a coke.

487
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: Coke's delicious. It's like come to the movies. Well, at

488
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: least the like go to the lobby. That makes sense

489
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: because it's like because that's how the Waters make their

490
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: money's concessions, right, But this was just like you're already

491
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: sitting at this theater about to watch this movie. I

492
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: just wanted to remind you. Thanks. I'm Nicole Kidman. I've

493
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: a sparkly pinstripe suit. Oh my gosh, iconic. I know

494
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: it was the Halloween costume of this season. I feel

495
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: it was I dressed she is wearing a wig, so

496
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: like you can also complete that part, feels like it. Yeah,

497
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: I was. I dressed as AMC Theaters for Halloween, and

498
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: then because I knew that everyone else was going to

499
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: go as Nicole Kidman, so I could be like, hello,

500
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, we can take a picture together because I'm

501
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: like the counterpart to your costume. I was a United

502
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: Artist Theater regal the whole chain. Okay, wow, it's a

503
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: good thing you guys didn't run into each other. Yeah,

504
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: I would. We would have had to fight problems. I

505
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: feel like that is where we talked last week about

506
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: a couple of movies where like brands are the new hero,

507
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: like with the new movie that's about the invention of

508
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: the Air Jordan or the invention of Tetris. Tetris. Yeah,

509
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: just people dressed as the various brands fighting one another.

510
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: I feel like is probably not too far. I will

511
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: right all of those screenplays. I am wearing Chevron T

512
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: shirt right now, so I just yeah, I love Yeah,

513
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: we do love brands. It's interesting dressed for the role

514
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: you want to play, you know, that's it. I am

515
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: wearing a Titanic I said, that's so weird Titanic T

516
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: shirt right now? Did titan the you are? Oh? You

517
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: really are? You really are? Yeah? And it's beautiful. It's

518
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: work of the beauty. It is the poster wearing a

519
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: Caitlin guildhoodie. What about a Caitlin Toronte hoodie? Yeah? What

520
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: the hell? Get a screenprinter? The wait? What was the

521
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: AMC Theater costume? Was it just like the logo the suit?

522
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh I'm so glad, you asked. I can't answer this. Well,

523
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: I have a sweatshirt that I already had. I didn't

524
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: even need to buy it for this costume. A sweatshirt

525
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: that says somehow heartbreak feels good in a place like this.

526
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: I wore her red pants with like I like attached

527
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: string lights up the sides of the pants to make

528
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: it be like, oh, these are like the lights that

529
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: are illuminating the like stare stairs to like help you

530
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: see your seat kind of thing. And then I taped

531
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: some candy rappers to me, and then I carried around

532
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: an AMC popcorn bag and soda cup. So I'll send

533
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: you a photo. In fact, mcguffin is what I wanted. Well,

534
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: you mean the mcguffins bar. I did drink alcohol all

535
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: night out of my cup, so that was kind of

536
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: mcguffin spar at AMC theaters beautiful. So anyways, movies are

537
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: a thing. They happened at AMC theaters. One such movie

538
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: that came out they happened at AMC theaters and I

539
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: should say CLYMC theaters. As of yeah, this this podcast

540
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: has become a AMC absolutist podcast where we don't acknowledge

541
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: of any other movie theater. One movie at the Cabin

542
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: came out fairly recently, the latest in the m Knight

543
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: shamalan Uva and this one. I remember seeing the trailer

544
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: and being like, Okay, so the twist has to be

545
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: because so the premises, two men and their daughter are

546
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: like at a cabin in the woods and they are

547
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: accosted by a bunch of religious zelots, and there is

548
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: violence against the gay couple, both in like as they

549
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: are there is like this home invasion, but also in

550
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: like flashbacks of like their life. And so I was like, well,

551
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: certainly the religious zealots can't be right in this movie, right,

552
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: like because they're like, you have to kill each other

553
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: to save the world. And I'm not going to spoil it,

554
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: but it does feel like they are correct about a

555
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: lot of stuff in the movie. And that's what I've got.

556
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the movie yet, and I might or

557
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: might not. I don't know a Night Shamalan. I'm not like,

558
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, clamoring to see his movies anymore. Yeah, but

559
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: I am curious. But it does seem like based on

560
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: just some context clues from the trailers I've seen, it

561
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: does seem like. And the twist is the scary religious

562
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: zealots who want people to murder each other are that

563
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: there's something to it. They might do religious people mad

564
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: about the movie, or they like it because I feel

565
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: like we've had these like scary religious zealots in horror

566
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: films and thrillers forever, and for the most part, Christians

567
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: don't appreciate it because they're like that because they're painted

568
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: as the villains. But I think rarely are they like

569
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: and they were right about the threat that was coming, right,

570
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: So we'll just say the movie actively invite sympathy for

571
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: these stand ins for the most dangerous people on the right.

572
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: Although they do claim that the characters being gay has

573
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: nothing to do with their role in all of this.

574
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: They've just been selected by God. But I don't know.

575
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: On the one hand, it feels very much like that's

576
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: a that's a weird message to be putting out at

577
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: a time when America has this like soft death cult

578
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: taking over like mainstream politics, for like one of the

579
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: parties like in QAnon, to then just be like and

580
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: what if they were right? What if they were right

581
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: about it all? And that's the beauty of Hollywood, you know.

582
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I don't know, Like there's also

583
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: like The Exorcister, Rosemary's Baby. I think you could be like, well,

584
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: those came right before the Satanic panic, and that was

585
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: certainly a bad thing that happened from the right, So

586
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: maybe it's just like the right not being able to

587
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: handle their shit. Well. Also, gay couples, you know, more

588
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: likely to financially be together enough to have a vacation home. Right, Yeah,

589
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: but you know, not that many average American straight families

590
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: have their own cabin retreat, so good for them. So

591
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: that's good representatives, it's just realistic. My main takeaway from

592
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: The Knock at the Cabin is that I always think

593
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: that it's knock at the Cabin door. I always think

594
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: there's there's an extra word to the title, and there

595
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: simply isn't. And I feel like they forgot to include

596
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: that extra It just feels incomplete as a title to me. Yeah. Also,

597
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: the Intruders all met on an online message board, as

598
00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: the producer Victor just pointed out. But yeah, I yeah,

599
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: there are certain titles that just like don't sit in

600
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: my brain, and I refute, like, I'm like, well that

601
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: that's not anything to do with my brain. That is,

602
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: they got the title wrong. They messed up. Yeah, it

603
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: would be awesome if I could come up with an

604
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: example of that, maybe, And a villain is Dave Bautista. Yeah,

605
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: so they like just your regular unassuming Apparently he's very

606
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: good in the film, and that is I think the

607
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: people who are objecting to the portrayal of like this

608
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: right wing death cult being too likable are reacting to

609
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: the fact that he gives a very human performance as

610
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: one of them. And yeah, so I don't I don't

611
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: know that this is going to to like derail his

612
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: career in any way, but I can always go back

613
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: to wrestling. He could. I think he's going to be

614
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: like an Oscar nominated actor at one point. That's a

615
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: weird take, but for this movie, yeah, maybe not. Yeah,

616
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: somehow they're going to go back and be like, oh,

617
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: I guess it did come out and yeah, so he's

618
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: there's still hope that he will be dominated from there's buzz.

619
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 1: We're starting the buzz India. Yeah. And then the other

620
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: big horror movie release is Winnie the Pooh, Lad and Honey,

621
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: a film that we'd kind of seized on when we

622
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: first heard about it and the trailer dropped. And this

623
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: is basically the result of Winnie the Pooh the original

624
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: stories by AA Milm passing into the public domain, Like

625
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: so they are now one hundred years old. They are

626
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: up for grabs like Peter Pan and the I wanted

627
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: to say the Right Brothers, but the Brothers grim the

628
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: Bible classics, you know. And and so somebody had the idea, Okay,

629
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Winnie the Pooh and make him the

630
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: slasher in a horror movie. When you see the trailer,

631
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: it looks like it's just some dude in a Winnie

632
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: the Pooh mask that also doesn't look that much like

633
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: Winnie the Pooh, to the point that you suspect that.

634
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: They spoke to a lawyer, and the lawyer was like,

635
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: I actually don't know if this is going to be

636
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: which because some of it came from Disney, right, yeah,

637
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: not the books. Yeah. Yeah, So that's why Winnie the

638
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: Pooh was not allowed to wear a red shirt in

639
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: the film, because he does wear a red cap with

640
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: white writing on it, which I thought was weird. Yeah

641
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: did you see the movie, Amy, Oh? I just wish

642
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: he was a maga Winnie the Pooh. Okay, he does

643
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: kind of give Maga Winnie the Pooh vibes, though, like

644
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: the in the in the shots that I've seen from

645
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: the trailer. The movie's out, everyone seems to hate it.

646
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: It is made by a filmmaker who is like a hobbyist.

647
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: It would appear like he very recently was just like

648
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: worked for an electricity company in the UK or like

649
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: I think they've actually private or nationalized it, so like

650
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: he was a government bureaucrat working in electricity and like

651
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: making movies on the side, and so he just like

652
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: got to this idea first and was you know, a

653
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: corporation is not going to like the Anyone who is

654
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: part of an organization with a legal department is probably

655
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: not going to be the first to an idea like this,

656
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: which is how I think this ended up happening. But yeah,

657
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: they the reviews aren't great, but it does just raise

658
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: the question of like, what what are we going to

659
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: get next? I mean, look again, this is well I

660
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: don't even know if this is Hollywood ingenuity, but this

661
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: is some kind of ingenuity. Though I don't hate the idea.

662
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: The execution I heard is bad, but I think maybe

663
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: it's just because I like Bear media famously as a

664
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: Paddington stand and I'd like one of the Pooh I

665
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: already have a ticket to see Cocaine Bear from now

666
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: Thursday night, like the night before it officially opens. I'm ecstatic. Yeah,

667
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: these bears, I'm fine with the idea. I am afraid

668
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: for what else we're gonna get when they're when their

669
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: time comes. But I never been a big Christopher Robin fan.

670
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: So if he like goes after Christopher, fine, like just

671
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: never was about him. You know, I don't give a shit. Yeah,

672
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: you're an annoying kid, you're spoiled, right, and your bear

673
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: now has a thirst for blood, right, I mean, I

674
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: think it's I agree that, Like I'm in theory. It

675
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: sounds like a good idea. Like the Winnie the Pooh

676
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: characters all seem to have like different problems going on.

677
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: You know, Piglet definitely suffers from like generalized anxiety disorder.

678
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: When Tigger is man, Yeah, Tigger is on math and

679
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: like there's also like so the premise of this is

680
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: apparently that like Christopher Robin when he grew up, was like,

681
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not going to go back to the

682
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: hundred agger Wood anymore because I'm I don't have an

683
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: imagination anymore. And then he returns and realizes they were

684
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: real and are now like Farrell and like eating each

685
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: other and killing and like that's and then Winnie the

686
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: Pooh the Killer Farrell there is released into the world,

687
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: which is basically the premise of like Toy Story three,

688
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: like kind of or it's like got a lot of

689
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 1: the same ideas in there as, you know, like the

690
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: the idea of like kids moving on from the their

691
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: childhood imagination, like the the most depressing moments in the

692
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: movie inside out, Like it's a thing that Pixar has

693
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: touched on repeatedly and never made it a horror movie.

694
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: Troud's play franchise. Right, do we know how long this

695
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: movie is? Because it's the kind of thing where I'm like,

696
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: if you're respectively, you know, eighty ninety minutes, great, If

697
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: this is two plus hours long, I'm already annoyed because

698
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a fine idea, but like I

699
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: don't want to see it for that long. Yeah, yeah,

700
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: I think that's right. I'm I guess it's like eighty

701
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: three minutes. That's my I'll put money on it, all right,

702
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, I hope ten minutes of that is credits

703
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: because my guess based on like that, based on the trailer,

704
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: and I'll have to watch the movie to like figure

705
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: out if the Zegger, but like I had the sense

706
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 1: based on the trailer that this was just a slasher

707
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: movie in which the slasher wore a Winnie the Pooh

708
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: ish mask, because like that that appears to be what

709
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: has had, Like it's a human and a Winny the

710
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: Pooh mask. And then like people were like, oh, they're

711
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: making a Winnie the Pooh horror movie. That's so fucked up,

712
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: and they like reshot a bunch of scenes to like

713
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: add the stuff about Christopher Robin, like going back to

714
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: the hundred Acre Wood to like make it actually Winnie

715
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: the Pooh who's doing the murdering, And maybe that's where

716
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: some of the run time problems would come in. Is

717
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: it bad to But he does use the RS Tale

718
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 1: to whip a shirtless Christopher Robin at one point. Sound

719
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: is Christopher Robin ripped? That's the review doesn't mention that,

720
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: but that is the question that is by that description. Yeah. Absolutely,

721
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: no one's seen Cocaine very yet. It's not out at

722
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: the time of this recording. As of this recording, it's

723
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: not out. Well, I know someone who saw it in

724
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: Omaha last night. Oh really disagree, Like Magical Movie World

725
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: in Omaha, where they don't have MC theaters and movies

726
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: come out a week early. That's great. I know I

727
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: have no idea, but he definitely saw it last night,

728
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: and I mean, I do think it's kind of cool

729
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: that it's like that TikTok comedian who complained about his

730
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: IKEA job in a funny way. Yes, what's his name,

731
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: Scott Scott Trice? Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm happy for him.

732
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: That's cool. It's a good start. Oh yeah, he's in

733
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: Cocaine Bear. Right, he's like the opening shot of the trailer. Yeah,

734
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: he plays like an EMT or something. I do keep

735
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: waiting for him to be like when he sees the

736
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,919
Speaker 1: Cocaine Bear and be like all right, listen up bear,

737
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: like the music to come in, to turn turn to camera.

738
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: I keep waiting for him to turn and be sponsored

739
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 1: by a Kia and just take the bag yes, and

740
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: be like sorry, sorry, I was kidding. Yeah, why would

741
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: he have anxiety? You know? So it's a perfectly normal

742
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 1: system where you criticize the labor practices of a thing,

743
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: but then like, the only feasible option for you to

744
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: get to eat is to be sponsored by them. It's

745
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: a cool world. You can only make so many cocaine bears.

746
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: Maybe Cocaine Bear and Winnie the Poop and Honey are

747
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: both about climate change. If you really think about it,

748
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: it's you know, the earth rising up and murdering us back, Yes,

749
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: murder us back. Well, Daddy, the it is interesting. Bears hibernate,

750
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,959
Speaker 1: you know, their polar bears are famously a symbol of

751
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: like the the mess the climate change has caused. And

752
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: now we're getting horror, multiple horror movies about bears. So

753
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: and who knows what direction of Paddington three is going

754
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 1: to take. We really don't know. We have some ideas.

755
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: I believe you pitched them. Yeah, yeah, no, no indication yet.

756
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: If they've they've gone with that. He doesn't eat marmalade anymore,

757
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: just pills, just opiate. That's right. People are really into

00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: study on suicide called the British cold Gas Study that

788
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: where when they got rid of that gas and ovens,

789
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: like suicide went down to the theory is that like

790
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,759

837
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: Dnya kind of describes herself as like pastel R and

838
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: B artist, which I couldn't find a better vibe for

839
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: that because it's got this kind of like electronic dream

840
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: pop vibe. It's very relaxing. It sounds like, you know,

841
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: sipping my ties or peanut coladas on the beach. So
