We have as always Emily Oshda, Molly, you 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.760 make Game of Thrones references without even meaning to. There's 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.120 a character called Friendly Barathian in seasons one and two 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.479 of Game of Thrones. You're a super fan. It's amazing. 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.760 That's what a friend of Night Call, Starley kind kept 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.000 telling me when we went to the Renfair together with 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.480 other friend of Night Call, Jane Mrie on Star Studied 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.360 podcast team. Yeah, that's like a real that's like a 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.440 meet up of the ages. It's a convention and convention 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:09.720 a coven of podcasters. We enjoyed a fried artichoke and 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:14.320 a baked potato, many many festivities were had, and just 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:19.040 like in the old world, just like olden times, it 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.320 was great. But Starley is a big Game of Thrones fan. Yeah, 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.679 as we discussed last week, and this time she kept 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.840 pointing at people and going, oh, hey, do you like that? 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:29.520 And I'd be like, yeah, yeah, that's cute. She got 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.360 then you like Game of Thrones. That's Game of Thrones. 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.800 You like it. It's a compelling argument. It was great. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.959 She like pointed as like a girl. It was probably 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.560 like Aria suppresses Aria or something, and she was like, hey, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:46.400 you like that outfit. I was like, good cosplay. She's like, boom, 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.160 you're a huge Game of Thrones fan. She got me. 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.800 I mean I went to the Renfair. You're halfway do 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.600 you love? You love medieval times? Well, you know, I 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:04.120 like the like the juck to position. Also, yeah, stuff. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.280 There's a lot of people just like wearing sublime shirts 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.240 at the unfair. There's like a combo of people so 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.200 dressed up in people just wearing a raider's jersey and 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.800 flipops like they do every day. And that's what I 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.280 love about it. It's beautiful to me. And and they 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.920 have those right, there's no dress code at their unfair. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.280 And they have those things where there's like a bubble 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.120 that a kid can run around into, like the hamster 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.320 ball type thing on water. There's like a Lady of 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:37.560 the Lake. Uh. Starley had an inquiry for miladies. Yes, 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.720 we definitely want to hear Starley's call and this Nightcall 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.640 and in general, we are going to take a bunch 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.640 of night calls today because it's been a second we 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.880 know we've got a backlog of calls we want to 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.960 get to, so we're gonna have a regular call fest 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.160 this week.

And 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:24.400 now onto the night calls. All right, this is a 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.960 nightcall from Starley. Technically it is a night recording night 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.440 field recording that we did in the car on the 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.320 way home from the Renfair while we were still talking 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.240 about Game of Thrones. Here it is, this is starlely Kine. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.320 I have a question for night Call, specifically for Emily, 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:46.719 since Molly doesn't watch Game of Thrones even though she'd 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:52.440 love it. Uh my question Emily is who are you 0:04:52.560 --> 0:05:00.400 personally rooting m M I think it's I'm a assuming 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.159 that you want both these people to die, but who 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.320 do you want to die? More? John dun Snow or 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.160 police Emily, who who are you rooting for? To die? 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.240 First of all, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna stall 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.559 for a second. Here, keep everybody in suspense, um so, 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.760 and and this is with with all of the love 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.400 in my heart. I watched the last season of Game 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:28.160 of Thrones with the One and Only stay Kine Um. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:33.280 I would bring over bottle of wine to her apartment, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.279 and I feel like most of it would be drunk 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.640 by the time the episode started, and it was really fun. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.960 And usually I watched the show by myself, so it 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.440 was it was fun to have somebody to like, yell 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.080 at the TV with. Then, as this season was coming up, 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.400 I went back and I was, you know, just trying 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.360 to brush up, like remember where we were. And I 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.920 started to watch the last season before this um, which 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.279 was really short. It was like seven episodes or something. 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.960 I did not remember for most of the stuff that 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.719 happened in that season, Like all the rest of the seasons, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.360 I think I had watched the episodes at least twice 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.320 because I was writing about them, so i'd have to 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.479 go back and see what happened. But I do feel 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.080 like I missed Starley this time around, like we became 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.919 Game of Thrones buddies. So um, so I appreciate this 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.720 question in more ways than one. I think Starley makes 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:26.400 a strong argument just for watching Game of Thrones with Starle. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.960 she's like the most opinionated person to watch the show with. Um, 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.839 it's uh, it's real fun. She's got takes usually, yeah, 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.279 she's got takes, and I like to argue with people 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.440 whose opinions are like not mine. Right, we have a 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:46.400 good podcast, but also my conversation is fun. So hey, 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.800 because she's setting you up in some way, does she 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.320 know what you are going to answer this question already? Um? 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.800 I don't think she does, but I mean I don't 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.200 know if the answer is what she thinks it's going 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.120 to be. I mean, if I had to pick, and 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.479 I don't think either of these people are going to die, 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.880 but if one person dies, it's probably going to be 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:11.640 drawn snow and I Rachel just looked at me in 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.480 the most incriminating way. Well, let's just like, have it 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:20.120 be clear that he has already died and then got back. Yes, 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.280 it's a long story. Is he a ghost? Now? The 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.720 Lord of Light brought him back? Because it was foretold 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.200 that he would you know, necessary to be a ghost 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.720 wins the Game of Thrones, he's not a ghost. If 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.240 a ghost word to win the Game of Thrones doesn't count, 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.200 or do you get like a mull again, he's not 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.640 a ghost. Well, if he's brought back from the dead, 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.520 he's a zombie. At theast, he's kind of well, there 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.800 are there are several people who have been brought back 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.360 to like by the Lord of Light, and they are 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.640 kind of like, they're telling me people. You're telling me 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.560 people can die on the show and be brought back 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.920 immediately your favorite sounds like a cool show. It's extremely 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.120 like specific circumstances. Well, like Dan said last week, it's 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.160 really rare for there to be this kind of magic, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.480 but it does happen. But when it happens, it's like 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.880 to be jerked around by a show into thinking that 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.880 your beloved characters have died and then a wizard goes 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.400 whoop and they're like, oh, they're alive again. Caring to 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.760 every bath. So we meet a lesser character, more minor 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.960 character who's had this happened to him before we meet 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.680 John Snow So it's not like we didn't know this 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.960 could happen. We just knew it was. The President has 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.360 been said, I'm going to answer that, like I think 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.320 I've heard of you know that. I'm here to answer 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.440 stars I'm going to answer Starley's question. I want all 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.920 of them to die? Cool? All men must die? Yeah, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.560 he loved Game of Thrones. I do I say that 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:48.000 all the time? All men must die? It's vulis um. Yeah. 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.839 And in the spirit of that, like, I hope that 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.880 John Snow dies more than Kalisi. Yeah, I mean I 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.079 think it makes less sense. Like I don't think it 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.480 would be very satisfying for Kalisi to die. I feel 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.080 like the r is going to be pulled out of 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:02.880 her in some way or another. I don't know if 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.560 that necessarily means she's going to die. Maybe they're going 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.840 to pull that bad rug off her head finally and 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.520 be like, we have an expensive budget, but the wigs 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.079 on the show are so bad and unbelievable. The Roastmaster 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:21.640 has arrived. Tests you're also the Game of Rists. More 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.719 of the roasts of the Roast is Nichol would love 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.599 to host your roast.

Halfway through. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.520 We just suvied we don't roast. It's a warm bath. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.959 Um test, Uh, Molly Test. You're also a Game of 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.040 the Rones fan? Do you have a feeling about this? 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:53.280 Who would I prefer whom? Who would I prefer to die? 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.200 John Snow or Denarest Targarion. Yes, I would prefer John 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.959 Snow to die because a he already has and be 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:07.520 I yeah, I think that. Like I'm the only person 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.760 who saw a last Night's episode, which is now two 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.000 episodes in the past. If you're listening to this, I 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.040 feel like I have not been wowed by John Snow's 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.680 charisma in a while. I'm kind of over it. I'm 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.440 a as we all know, I'm a Denarest fan. Last 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.440 night and this is not a spoiler, but let me 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.680 just say that there's a scene where they're at a 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.840 party and Denarest is like sitting there looking at everyone. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.679 She's super paranoid, like everyone's you know, gonna take me down, 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.720 Everyone's talking about me. Really identified with that. I need 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.920 to keep her around for that reason. It's like I 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.040 know that feeling Nearest is like hit the bong and 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.760 she's just like, I don't know if it seems like 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.280 everyone hates me here terrible Ever since I saw that 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.800 meme about how John snow looks just like George Costanza. Yes, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:59.000 cannot unsee a riveting joust, a riveting chouse. Indeed, I'm 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.440 betting on brand Brand. I mean, it's clear you don't 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.720 watch the show if you're betting. But I watched Veep 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.800 and I think Veep is going to end with Split 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.040 being president, which is my dream. And I feel like 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.160 you just always bet on like the person that nobody 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.280 would bet on. Oh, you mean you're brand seems to 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.319 know he's on the way out to win the game. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.480 Oh I thought you were betting on it. I was like, what, No, 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.800 both are very unlike brands. Molly calls a game. He's 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.920 not even brand anymore, Molly three eyed, he's a three 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.400 eyed raven. Was not the appearance of the three eyed 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:33.120 snake and Nature let me know that three raven is 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.160 gonna win. Speaking of the three eyed snake, yeah, you 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.520 know how that is definitely the night Call mascot of 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:44.560 the month. Yeah, we love it. Moving on to more 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.600 creepy things, I believe we have an email regarding Roswell. Yes, 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:55.240 we have a somewhat belated but nonetheless incredibly appreciated email 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:00.719 from Usenia, who is a Roswell native. While ago we 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.720 were asking if there was anybody that listened to our 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:08.640 show who was Roswell resident or a former resident or native, 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.840 and uh, yeah, we heard back from U Senia and 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.679 it was with a great email to get. So I'll 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.200 just read it. Hey, night call pot. I am finally writing, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.000 even though your first episode wrangled me in with it's 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.400 whatever time it was in Roswell, New Mexico. Since then, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.760 there's been a lot of Roswell chats, so I felt 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.280 I had to write in as a native of the 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.520 city parentheses town. I was born and grew up in 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.000 Roswell and left when I went to college, but my 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.720 family is still there, so I visit. It really is 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.720 such a small place, fewer than fifty thou people, so 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.839 it was always really interesting to us as children when 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.800 people would come from all over to hang out with 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.960 the aliens. I'm neither confirming nor denying that they're still here. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.920 I remember our family took a trip to New York 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.200 when the Roswell show was at its peak, and my 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.160 sister and I saw a billboard of the show and 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.800 just turned to each other and laughed. The significance has 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.120 only really hit me as I've lived outside for ten years, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.920 and it always starts cool conversation with people realize I'm 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.839 from there. Roswell definitely caters to the tourism. There's a 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.800 UFO McDonald's the lamp Post downtown or Alien Heads, and 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.560 the main theater is called Galaxy eight with a ufosque front. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.160 There's also a UFO museum and people love taking pics 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.120 of the Roswell City limit sign not to mention alien 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.600 paraphernalia everywhere, and of course the UFO crash site, which 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.040 is a little north of the actual city, though I 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.640 have to admit I've not visited. It's a big deal. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.040 I appreciate it, and I'm sure Roswell, New Mexico does too. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:35.240 I'll send a postcard next time i'm down there. Thank 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.719 you so much. You said, yeah, this is great. I mean, 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.480 this is sort of how I would imagine it, like 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.600 even the UFO McDonald's that like, even the national and 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.080 international chains will like catch Roswell fever if they have 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.760 an outpost there. It seems very appropriate. This made me 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.840 want to go to Roswell so bad. There are been 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.120 a lot of things that have made us want to 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.320 go to Roswell. To be honest, yeah, we send night 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.319 called Roswald. I'm kind of jealous. I mean, I love 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.000 l A, but like it could use that extra layer 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.720 of like a weird event. That's not bad. Oh, we 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.600 have too many weird events what they're all about, But 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.160 what about like a not a neutral weird event to 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.680 add a layer. It's like a clarity of theme with Roswell. 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.760 It's like there's lots of weird stuff in l A 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.080 and it's all kind of competing for your attention, and 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.240 you can like ride different wavelengths of weird l A 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.560 history to go down and then places to get your 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.560 picture taken or whatever. But like the fact that Roswell 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.240 is just all about this one thing is really pure. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:36.000 I feel like LA doesn't have a central theme or location. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.200 Well it's I feel like it does have like central themes. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.080 There are a few themes, I mean. And also we 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:46.360 have like some good ghosts, very big fan of our ghosts. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.320 What if you're not what if you don't believe in 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.040 Aliens and you live in Roswell, I must be terrible. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.680 You must not believe in aliens if you live in Roswell. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.520 But like, I don't know, like not being the protagonist 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:04.520 in your own life, I don't know. You just seize 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.960 the opportunity. You don't think everybody just rebels against whatever 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.240 a town is serving them when they're young. No, you 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.880 have to go along with it. Otherwise you're at your out. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.000 That's why your listeners. If you live in Roswell in 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.160 New Mexico and you don't feel like the protagonist of 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.840 your own life at these times a nightcall I want 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:25.440 to for no matter where you live, if you don't 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.160 feel like the protagonists, I don't feel like the protagonists 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:35.440 into something much weirder. I'm sorry why like the protagonist 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.680 and a long time is really unnerving When you start 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:43.960 feeling an ensemble cast, that's terrible, right, It's great. Nothing 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.400 is better than an ensemble movie. One of my theories 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.320 about Game of Thrones that I said to Starley that 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:49.440 I was like, this is why I think Game of 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.000 Thrones is good is because I like any ensemble show 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.800 that tricks men into caring about a bunch of female 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.040 characters by seating them with an equal number of male characters, 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.600 which is I think all good ensemble shows. The sopranos, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.080 like every ensemble show. You're like, ha, you tricked men 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.000 into like getting involved in the emotional lives of like 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.400 a teenage girl because they want to see what happens 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:15.560 with dragons. Um. Yeah, so bully to you, Thrones, Yeah, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.160 bully to you. This email does make me think about 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.160 like like not being into the thing that your town 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.640 or like where you grew up was about, Like like 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.920 the feeling of alienation that is like very common for 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.160 for growing up in any of them place, but when 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.400 that's at like if you grew up in a football town, 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.800 for example, but you like hate football, or you just 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:39.400 really like, I don't know, lacrosse and stuff, but like 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.840 being being at odds at the thing that your your 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.920 town is known for. Um. I mean that the the 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.160 UFO thing is such a strong idea like around that. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.520 But I do feel like probably a lot of l 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.360 A kids grow up feeling really like alienated from show 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.240 business or or you know, any of that. Probably as 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.120 many kids who grow up and want to just be 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.040 actors or directors or whatever too. But and what about 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.280 the people who live in Maine but they're allergic to shellfish? Exactly. 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:10.080 That's terrible. That's worse. That's worse, honestly, because if you 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.080 believe in aliens or not, that doesn't affect your ability 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.879 to appreciate like all the alien kitch stuff that goes on. 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:20.040 Still better than being from Connecticut, where the theme is 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:26.200 repression Connecticut. Yeah, And if you can't do the thing 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.960 like as I say so eloquently, or to have the 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.280 good thing where it's good, like I like lobsters in 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.520 Maine or something, if you can't do that, that always 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.639 feels like a bummer, Like if you're lactose intolerant and 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:46.840 you live in Wisconsin, for example. Exactly exactly, Guys, I 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.240 think we should take another night call this one. I've 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:50.919 been thinking about this one a lot. Okay, So this 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.880 one comes from a m HI test Emily and Molly. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.160 I'm listening to Night Call sixty three. The scary statistic 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.200 you cited about panies using data on their employees movements 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.959 reminded me that a temporary job I had at I'm 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.959 going to redact this in Queens required me to submit 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.000 biometric data at the start and end of every shift. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.560 Here's how it worked. After signing my employment contract, a 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.119 manager told me to stand against a wall in the store. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.560 I didn't know what was happening until she had me 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.000 move my head up and down, and I realized a 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.240 camera was reading my face. We clocked in and out 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.840 of shifts by putting our faces in front of a scanner, 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.360 and could only unlock slash log into our registers by 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.320 touching a fingerprint scanner. It didn't really matter that I 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.280 hadn't given my permission to the store's security slash surveillance 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.560 team to collect my data because I needed the job, 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.919 but I still wish they'd offered me a chance to 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.280 opt out. I'm certain it would never occur to the 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.159 stores managers that this was a breach of privacy, or 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.000 that there's any legitimate reason we wouldn't want our biometric 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.040 information in a security database. The scanners sometimes wouldn't work 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.199 if I wore dark lipstick or took my coat and 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.840 hat off. Do you remember seeing stories several years ago 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.320 about makeup and hairstyles that could thwart facial recognition tech. 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.280 I feel like I've been waiting for the anti surveillance punk. 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.439 Luke to come in fashion since then. Obviously only a 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.359 temporary solution, but a fun one. I wonder if it works. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:19.000 Thank you so much for this terrifying email. Um, I 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.639 just want to jump right in. Please don't say that 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.840 I just bought one of those space blocker things. What 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.080 are they like a full face shade. Yeah, I posted 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.960 pictures of it. I wore it to the Unfair. It's like, um, 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.320 it's like the visor that goes all the way down, 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.320 like I did see it. I had no idea what 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.719 that was, and we posted it. Vista Viano Vista Viano, 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:45.000 Donald Sterling's Stress War one, but they're also just popular. Yeah, 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.679 it's like a big like Grandma look in l A. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.440 I feel like interesting, I'm into that you will be 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.760 so that your face. Did you do it for fashion purposes? 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:58.719 I did it for sun purposes because I was going 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.280 to the Unfair, which is an early it's super sunny. Um. 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.080 And also I just found one that I've been like 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.040 thinking about getting one for a long time, and then 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.919 night called friend to create a longworth had one, and 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.640 I was like, oh, I totally do want one. I 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.480 just do it. And then I was wearing it around 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.560 and it was like the most amazing feeling because people 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.720 can't see your face. It's incredible. You walk around it 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.320 almost seems impolite. It's it's amazing because also like if 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.920 you're a woman, especially, it's like, oh, men cannot see 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.199 your face. They can't even see if you're smiling. They like, 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.400 you can see your body, but who cares it can't 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.640 see your face. It's amazing. I love it. But does 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:40.320 does that inhibit your ability to like connect with people? Yes, 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.080 that's what I've found about the point for wearing it 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.120 for a whole day because it's kind of amazing because 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.000 it's like you have this little like bubble around you. 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.639 I was also like, yeah, I was just like vaping 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.560 inside of it. I was very like you were hot 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:59.679 boxing your own head, my little cocoon um. But you 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.240 still get a Darth Vader from talking under it voice. 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.040 Do you think it's healthy? It? Is it breathable? Like 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.040 is there a air circulation? I mean it's just a shade, 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.960 so it's it's not like hockey mask or like a 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.399 or yeah, like a fencing mask or something like that. 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.359 Fencing mask would also be a good look now. And 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.560 also Jane Murray was like some dudes might just be 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.239 into that. That's true too, just a body, especially if 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.360 I'm wearing it on like Star Wars day and it's 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.479 a little Stormtrooper. But it is really fun. I do 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.760 recommend it if you're going to like the beach or something, 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.600 check it out. I don't know how i'd feel walking 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.720 around without my face in front of me, you know 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:44.240 what I mean. I'm an overwear of sunglasses. Like I 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.480 wear sunglasses on cloudy days. I started doing it because 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:51.720 I squint in the sun really badly and it would 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.040 like hurt my face all day if I was like 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.719 I remember like on snowy days in Iowa, if I 0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.000 was like squinting all day, then my face would her 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:01.960 you get a headache? Yeah, yeah. So I started wearing 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.000 sunglasses really obsessively, like all the time. I can't leave 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.000
