Let's tell the people some 15 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: of the things that are trending. We're actually going to 16 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: use this uh to um. You know, we promised that 17 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: we would watch House of Gucci talk about how se Gucci. 18 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: Jamie Loftus was supposed to come on uh and then 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: you know, realized that she had to write Santa University 20 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: and many other things. Earlier. We were going to talk 21 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: about how Sagucci, but we just never got around to it. 22 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: But we are fortunate to have you and me to 23 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: people who have seen House of Gucci, and we we 24 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: just want to talk about it because I think it 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: is there's something unique about this movie. It's not like 26 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: uniquely good or uniquely bad. So we talked previously about 27 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: how in Drew Te the week that it came out, 28 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: had told Miles given him a very ambiguous recommendation. He 29 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: was like, I'm not sure if it's a comedy, but 30 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: you should definitely see it. And I have now seen it, 31 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: and I don't know how to like talk about this movie. 32 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: I think the performances are both bad and also like 33 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: their own type of art that I really enjoyed while 34 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: watching them. I don't know what like what are what 35 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: were your thoughts? What? What was your experience? I really 36 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: liked the movie, but I will never see it again 37 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: because it was too long. They probably could have cut 38 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: a whole hour out of the movie. My boyfriend and 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I went and saw it. He picked like a nine 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: forty PM show because we were both working late and 41 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: we didn't get out to like one am, and that 42 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: was that was just too much for me personally. A 43 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: little long, but I wouldn't say it was a comedy, 44 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: but some of the roles A K A, uh, what's 45 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: his face cool? Jared Leto, Uh, you know, he definitely 46 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: took it to a comedy route that we didn't need that, 47 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: But Lady Gaga's performance it was worth it. It was 48 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: worth to see Lady Gaga do the role. She really 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: worked where it she's like trying to earn that oscar 50 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: even though no one in that movie will let her 51 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: have that oscar because they did so poorly. But I 52 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: felt like she was an absolutely incredible and enjoyable performance 53 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: and she was in a movie that I feel like 54 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: nobody else was. It was like she was like, this 55 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: is a drama. I'm taking this seriously. I studied this role. 56 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: I'm Italian. And then everybody else in the movie was like, 57 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: we're having fun in Italy, Gucci, and we're doing more 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,559 Speaker 1: of a thing of like people being Italian for Halloween 59 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: more so than like a serious study. Uh yeah, I 60 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: mean Pacino was really I'm gonna say, I think there 61 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: were good performances, and I even enjoyed Jared Letto's performance 62 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: because it is absurd, uh it. I like when a 63 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: dumb guy plays a dumb guy. I've always felt like 64 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: Jared Letto like doesn't want to embrace his inner dumb guy, 65 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: And it did feel like this was appropriate, tragic, pathetic. 66 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: But the whole thing is like even Adam Driver's performance, 67 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: which I've heard a lot of people describe as bed, 68 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: it was like very very watchable for me. Yeah, I 69 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: would say you believe them as a couple, you know, 70 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: you believe Lady Gaga's story. I just wish I felt 71 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: like there was just like a lot of dead air 72 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: in the last hour of the movie, like they could 73 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: have taken that last hour and done something else with 74 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: the storyline. I felt like we built up and it 75 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: was such a slow build, and we could havebably cut 76 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: that build in half and done way more of the trial. 77 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: Like I feel like we just like came to the movie. 78 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: You know, at the end, it's like her finally getting sentenced. 79 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: But it's like we didn't have any interview scenes, we 80 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: didn't have any like what was the trial intense? Like 81 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: it just it felt very like it fell on its 82 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: face a little bit. Yeah, the end. I think that's 83 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: a great note. Becca, I think you are right, Uh 84 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: it is. It's a really wild, like true story that 85 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: I didn't It's like one of those things where I 86 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: was like, how did I not know this was happening 87 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: as it was happening. I'm older than you, so like 88 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: I should have been aware of this, like you were 89 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: probably weren't born yet. But like I'm glad I got 90 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: to see it dramatized. But like the question of like 91 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: did they do a good job? Is it a good movie? 92 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: I've never felt less capable of answering those very basic 93 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: questions about a movie. I also don't like those questions 94 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: about movies that I've always said, like I think like 95 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: the was it good like thumbs up, thumbs down ng 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: of movies that's like besides the that's beside the point. 97 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 1: Like I just like watching movies. I don't really care 98 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: how like, as long as they're successful at doing something 99 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: to me. And I feel like this is very successful 100 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, it's like I had a good time. 101 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: I definitely like don't regret seeing the movie. I enjoyed 102 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: watching it, Like I just it's not going to be 103 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: a repeat on my roster for sure, Like it was 104 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: super long. But yeah, I agree with you, I don't 105 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: know if they did a good job or not, because 106 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: A I didn't know enough about the original story, Like 107 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: I felt like it wasn't as sensationalized as maybe when 108 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Murphy did um the Johnny Frassacci story for the 109 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: American Crime Stories, and it felt like in the same vein, 110 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: And I kind of, I guess, walked into it assuming 111 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: it would be as like dramatic, as intense as that, 112 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: even though obviously Ryan Murphy had nothing to do with 113 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: this production. But yeah, it definitely I was expecting something 114 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: else I think out of the movie, but enjoined it nonetheless. Yeah, 115 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: and it is like Gucci is an Omini present brand. 116 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: Tom Ford is a name that I like certainly had 117 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: heard a number of times, but like I didn't know it. Yeah, 118 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: it like fills in a chunk of like culture of 119 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: like stuff that I see all over the place that 120 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: gives me a little backstory. So I did love whoever 121 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: they brought it. I know nothing about tom Board besides 122 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: the name tom Ford, but I did love like that 123 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: arc of the storyline. I thought he was fun, you know, 124 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 1: someone from Texas. I had no idea that tom Board 125 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: was like from Austin and like that kind of pizzazz 126 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: I thought that was a fun twist to the storyline. 127 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree alright, speaking of things that I 128 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: would recommend, knowing fully well that a lot of people 129 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: won't like them. I did get to try as and 130 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Jamie Loftus also got to try at our holiday lunch. 131 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: Mountain DW gingerbread cookie. I'm sure they have like some 132 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: extreme name for it that's not mountain dew gingerbread cookie, 133 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: but it's something let me figure it out. But it's 134 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: a unsuccessful I would say, um, but also like it 135 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: delivers on everything you would gingerbread. Okay, you ready for 136 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: what the extreme title is? The need to hear this? Yes, 137 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: Mountain DW gingerbread snapped. Yeah, like ginger snaps, but also 138 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: like a like axe murderer, Like that's it, like snapped 139 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: h or I guess like people when they do well 140 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: in sports, people are like, oh, he snapped, but uh, 141 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: you know they are referencing people going on a murder spree. 142 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: But all right, that's one way to be extreme. It 143 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: could use a little bit more bite, could use a 144 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: little more spicy ginger flavor, but I applaud mountain dew. 145 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: It does deliver on the thing that all mountain dew. Um. 146 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: You know variants seem to do which is uh so 147 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: filled with sugar that it actually becomes like it starts 148 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: like tingling your throat a little bit and becomes its 149 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: own form of spicy. So yeah, highly recommend both of 150 00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: those things. Go watch how Sagucci, while pounding some gerbread snapped, 151 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a soda soda fan, so you know you 152 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: tried your own delicition, but I definitely will be sticking 153 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: to my water from holidays, staying hydrated out here there 154 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: you go. Um and then also, uh, mansion killed build 155 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: back better less important news than how s A Gucci 156 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: and men do gingerbread snapped? Uh. Yeah, he demanded like 157 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: means testing, trying age to like work requirements, all that 158 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: Clintonian you know center democrat ship that we've seen repeatedly 159 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: not work. Um, you know, putting the labor of the 160 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: bureaucracy onto you know, the poor, anyone looking for help 161 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: from a social safety net. He also, uh, those seems 162 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: so always kill or opposed climate change legislation. Uh and 163 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: uh he does this well, you know, getting rich off 164 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: of making money off of pollution. It's like a reference 165 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: that everyone will get. It's like the bad guy in 166 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: Karate Kid three. Everyone knows that, right. Uh No, But 167 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: in that movie, like there's a part where they are 168 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: trying to make it clear that someone's a bad guy. 169 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: He's taking a cell phone call in a hot tub, 170 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: and uh we join him mid conversation as he's like, 171 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: they can't tell me where I can and can't dump 172 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: toxic sludge, and then like hangs up on the person. 173 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: And that's like their shorthand for like, hey, this guy 174 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: might be a bad guy, right, Um. And so Mansion 175 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: has a family owned business that has made a small 176 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: fortune selling waste call from abandoned minds to heavily polluting 177 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: power plants in the state. So yeah, that's he's like 178 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: selling pollution to make pollution. Like that's what that's his 179 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: business model. Um, and we still let him be like 180 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: the most important person in Congress and love that for us. 181 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: I love that for the United States of America. Here 182 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: with the New York Times, Uh you know, did a 183 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: pretty like damning look at his record a couple of 184 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: days back. Um, but the thesis statement is still worded 185 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: as but left almost unsaid was the issue that has 186 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: always propelled his political career, as a Democratic maverick colon 187 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: climate change, Like, oh, he's a Maverick Democrat propelled by 188 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: a strong stance on climate change. It's not like they're 189 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: like trying to hide the truth. It's just like they're 190 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: so they just can't. I don't know, they're bringing so 191 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: centrists that they can just like call it for what 192 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: it is. You know. I think it's the age old 193 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: issue with journalism as it stands right now, of trying 194 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: to be neutral in the same conversation of telling the truth, 195 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: but because the truth is in reality, something is bad 196 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: objectively and something is good objectively, but they don't want 197 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that as journalism. They want to acknowledge that, like, oh, 198 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: we can just stay neutral and that's the truth, right, 199 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Joe Manchin our hero if he lets go through, All right, 200 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: let us take a quick break and we will be 201 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: right back and we're back. Uh. And New York City 202 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: is trying to pay people again forgetting boosters. That's right there, 203 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: trying to bribe you into getting Bill Gates's vaccine. Yeah, 204 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: a hundred dollars. Yeah, it's kind of yeah. They did 205 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: this um at the beginning of COVID vaccines, right, they 206 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: were giving a thing like a hundred two a person 207 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: to get vaccinated. But I find it interesting. I I 208 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: live in New York currently, and I got this text. 209 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: I think it's a six two has been the New 210 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: York City government COVID updates text, and they I feel like, 211 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: are trying to promote this hundred dollars because New York 212 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: is like on fire right now because of omicron. But 213 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: I don't feel like this is going to solve the problem, 214 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: just like it didn't, you know beforehand, because of New York. 215 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: I think, and I mean don't quote me on that. 216 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: That's probably a seventies rude old checks, but a lot 217 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: of New York City is vaccinated. It's it's more they 218 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: need to shut down, Like New York needs to stop 219 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: letting people in bars. Yeah, like the vaccine part isn't 220 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: gonna help. They need to to stop the restaurants. Yeah, 221 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: they probably do. I'm all four very basic things like, well, 222 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: we'll give you a hundred dollars when people won't do 223 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: the thing that will save people's lives. Uh. And I'm 224 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: assuming it would help a little bit to get everybody vaccinated, 225 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, they probably need to shut the funk down 226 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: absolutely go get back to boots. That's not me. I'm 227 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: just being jaded in the sense you're an anti vax 228 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: or Mecca, like you don't have to reverse course just 229 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: because I got that j J. And I've been told 230 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: that people. You know that I'm not really vaccinated, but 231 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: I got boostered, okay, also by j and Jay or 232 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: what are we talking? No, they don't. I don't think 233 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: they're even letting Janey do booster. I think they're like, honey, 234 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: we made a mistake affirming that one. You must get 235 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: my DENA and I got fire. My bad for letting 236 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: you think you were safe with Jane. Jane. You gotta 237 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: get the FIA. That's it. Yeah, um, all right, Well, 238 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: you know, everybody in New York please please please stay safe. 239 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: You know it's it's wild out there. It really seems 240 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: to be just like tearing through the population. I hope 241 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: you hope you guys are all vaccinated and have access 242 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: to whatever that medication is that you can take once 243 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: you get COVID to make sure that your symptoms aren't severe. Right, 244 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: That was the thing. I feel like I'm not hearing 245 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: that much about that right now, but like, yeah, I 246 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: wasn't sure if it was in like FTA testing. I 247 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: don't know if it was on the market, but it 248 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: definitely was something they were trying to figure out. It 249 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: was like tama flu but for COVID, and I think 250 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: it'll be a big game changer obviously for those who 251 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: aren't able to get vaccinated or you know, maybe believe 252 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: in tama flu more than they believe in vaccines. I 253 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: don't know, we're on top of it, like, I mean, 254 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: if you get COVID, just throw everything at it, you know. Yeah, 255 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: that's right, though they are still rolling out their marketing 256 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: campaign around That would be funny if that's what was 257 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: holding it up. They were like in marketing meetings like 258 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: we just can't come up with Yeah. Uh so student 259 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: debt is trending? What's that? What's everybody complaining about? Becca, 260 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: what's going on? Stag cancel student debt? I'm in camp 261 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: cancel student debt. But basically there was a I don't 262 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: know if it was a press conference, but news was 263 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: released that Joe Biden is extending the student debt relief 264 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: through May, so you don't have to start paying back 265 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: your federal student loans until May. But it has started 266 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: the course of conversation of if you can have pushed 267 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: back student loans for almost two years now, then why 268 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: can't you just cancel student debt like this has been 269 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: This was something on his platform. So many, like leftist 270 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: people are grebbly frustrated with Joe Biden in his lack 271 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: of accountability for you know, doing the things that he 272 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: promised on his campaign trade ill and also you know, 273 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: this is a very centrist choice to make. But and 274 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: and people like Senator Warren you know, said she fought 275 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: to you know, get this uh you know motion pass, 276 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: but that she's not going to stop the fight for 277 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: pushing for full student debt cancelation. So hopefully fingers crossed 278 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: that in May we'll hear better news about canceling student debt. 279 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: But at least you can feel a little bit of 280 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: relief until then that you know, you don't have to 281 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: pay back your loans. Secca, how would you having your 282 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: student loan debt canceled be fair to me? An aging 283 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: boomer he paid fifty dollars to go to a private 284 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: school in the early sixties. Literally, I am someone who 285 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: is in student loan debt. It is not crippled my finances. Luckily, 286 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: but it is something that like weighs on my soul personally, 287 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: and I think it's so frustrating and done that we 288 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: let children, i mean seven year olds make decisions about 289 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: their er. I wish someone had slapped me on the 290 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: wrist and said, hey, go to community college and then 291 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: transfer to a four year you know school, and you 292 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: would be in like probably sears less debt than you 293 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: are now. And no one tells you those things. They 294 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: just let you sign on the dotted line your life 295 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: away for the rest of your life. That's why we 296 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: here at the Daily z I guys recommend Prager University. Also, 297 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: like kind of along the same lines, we got Jen 298 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: Saki hero to uh the cricket media listeners of the 299 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: world basically being like, what are we supposed to send 300 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: to everyone in America a fucking test, Like get out 301 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: of my face with this ship, Like think about how 302 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: much that would cost? It's just like, oh, that's that's 303 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: not your job to think about how much that would cost. 304 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: That's it. It's your job to do important work for 305 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: people when they need you to do that important work well. 306 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: And it's also like, you know, we aren't charging for 307 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: the back scenes, right, Like those are free, and in 308 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: New York City's case, there are literally paying you to 309 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: get vaccinated. And I did a drive through test here 310 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: in Texas yesterday and it was free. Um, and you know, 311 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: it was easy because no one's trying to get tested 312 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: in Texas. But in places like New York City, where 313 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: like people are trying to stay safe and do the 314 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: right thing and get tested, it's three hour weight lines 315 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: and City m D three hour weight lines anywhere you go, Like, 316 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: it's absolutely insane and it is only right in the 317 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: public health crisis that you would just like send all 318 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: those people tests, especially if we're not charging for you know, 319 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: the vaccines. And depending on where you go, like it's 320 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: like if you want to get a rapid tests from Target, 321 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: it's like twenty five dollars, and like if you can 322 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: even get it, like it's dollars and you have to 323 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: take time out of your day to find it. Like 324 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: either way, this is costing America so much money to 325 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: try to just get tested and do the right thing 326 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: for like the public health to get tested. It's it 327 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: is truly, Uh, it doesn't make sense. I was literally 328 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: had the thought, like last week, I was thinking, how 329 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: is the government not just sending everyone a test right now. 330 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: We know this is coming. We know like that everybody 331 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: is going to be needing tests. We're seeing like long 332 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: lines to get tests, Like, how how is this not 333 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: something we're prepared for. I'm ready to just send the 334 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: ship out. Uh and we have our answer because uh 335 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: sarcasm and cost too much? So yeah, fun funk it all. 336 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: There was an update though that it says the federal 337 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: government next month will start mailing at home COVID tests 338 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: for free for any US household that requests one. But 339 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: like you just said, check next month seems a little 340 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: late for the giant outbreak that's coming from the East 341 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: coast that is swiftly going to move across the country. 342 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: And again, you know, it's like her tone did not 343 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: suggest this was something that was under consideration, and she 344 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: wasn't like, yeah, okay, what are we gonna do? Send 345 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: all the tests right now? Next month? Obviously that's what 346 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: we're planning to do, but right now, come on, um, 347 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: all right, Well, we have a story about Wheel of Fortune, 348 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: which has been trending, but you know what we are 349 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: going to hold that for, So you have to wait 350 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to find out what we uh, 351 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: what we're thinking about twenty two. We are done recording 352 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: for about a week and a half.
