1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Welcome to Worst Year Ever, a production of I Heart 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: Radio Together Everything, So don't don't hello. Alright, cool, we're back, baby, 3 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: back for even more of the Worst Year Ever, mixing 4 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: up my shows. We're the first and only worst year 5 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: ever somehow three years in. Oh, it's Tuesday, it's February. 6 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: The weather outside is whatever. It's like wherever you are, Welcome, 7 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: wildly impredictable where you from. What's your weather like? Yeah, 8 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: say it out loudly. How are you doing boiling your 9 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: water again in Texas? Yeah? Yeah, gosh, golly, goddamn. At 10 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: least it was here. We are again competency, negligence and 11 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: not uh like the weather. I mean that it was 12 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: also due to the weather, I think, so, Yeah, it 13 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: seems a little bit like human human error or the weather. 14 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: They say, they say it's unrelated. City officials in Austin 15 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: have been very careful to say, like, this has nothing 16 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: to do, this is not another grid problem, this is 17 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: just incompetent. So that's yeah, that's it's like a new 18 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: nothing to see here. Folks were just unqualified. I would 19 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: talk shit about them, but it came out and no 20 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: one really cared. But it came out like a month 21 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: ago that the same person who blew the whistle on 22 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: the water in Flint, Michigan having highlight levels is like Portland, 23 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Oregon is much worse. There's so much it's it's a 24 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: real huge problem. And everyone was like, that's cool. Let's 25 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: let's fund kicking houseless people out of encampments instead. You, Yeah, 26 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: we can afford our brit of filter systems or whatever, 27 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: And I don't think most people have. Portland was kind 28 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: of famous for having really good public tap water. Apparently 29 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: this has been a problem forever. But people were like, 30 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: but the water is so clean, it comes how the 31 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: river were great? Why is it famous for clean water 32 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: if it's been a problem for the water that's flowing 33 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: into pipes is great. But the pipes are like copper 34 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: with lead solder and do a variety of facts. The 35 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: lead is wearing away into the water. Like, it's not 36 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: we shouldn't have a lead problem here, but because of 37 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: things that were done in the construction of the water 38 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: system in the city, there's a lead problem. Put that 39 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: goo in the pipes and then expand the google you've 40 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: got to get to do in there. Yeah, the coup 41 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: of the gators into what there's like a there's like 42 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: goo tubes you put in the pipes and then you 43 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: expand them and then it makes the pipes usable and not. Okay, 44 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: and so what like what kind of chemicals are in 45 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: the back and floam? Probably right, yeah, probably most your 46 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: standard contaminants. Yeah, but like that's like we can like 47 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: we can hand mean get their daily minimum dose of flow. Yeah, 48 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: you need to get your flow, and no better way 49 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: than to go up your pipes. Right. Oh boy, that's correct. 50 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: I just got a UM text message that says tall 51 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: evil booms show.

So basically all of 69 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: them at some point get get robbed for absurd amounts 70 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: of money.

She 123 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: is just the worst. Somebody points online who was verified 124 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: so maybe they were actually telling the truth, said that 125 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: they hired They realized after this broke that they had 126 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: hired her a couple of years back to write like 127 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: emails for their company to send out, and it was 128 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: like they were terrible. Everything was misspelled.

Um, 131 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: to try and make a profit. Um. So she's just 132 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: a grifter who decided to become a terrible rap artist, 133 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: hoping that like the winds of virality would carry her. 134 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: But none of what she does is any good.

Maybe she would have 166 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: tried to launch like a juice type thing or like 167 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: a super food blend, but it would not have taken off. 168 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: She doesn't have the kind of charisma to sell that stuff, 169 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: so probably would have been just kind of drifting around 170 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: the edges of e commerce. But because of cryptocurrency, she 171 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: was able to commit the largest financial crime that anyone 172 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: has ever been a rest Have you seen this? Did 173 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: you see this yesterday? I just pull it back up again. 174 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: It was on Twitter for a bit. The specific island 175 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: Paradise wants you to become a crypto serious, right, yeah, 176 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: welcome about there. It's turning to crypto to boost its 177 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: economy or whatever. And basically, you guys, if you if 178 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: you do this just for two forty eight dollars, anyone 179 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: anywhere can apply for for a limited edition n F 180 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: T I D I D card. This means they can 181 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: use a palen business address, apply to change their name, 182 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: legally open online accounts to trade cryptocurrencies based in this 183 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: little island, But you don't get to actually be a hummer. 184 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: What about changing your name? Well it says you're not 185 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: automatically resident. Uh yeah, but you can change your name. 186 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: Um yeah. The scheme could provide prove handy for for 187 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: Chinese and other investors. Use nations don't allow crypto trading, 188 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's fun. Yeah, I mean, you know, I uh, 189 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: if Palau can make a profit off of this before 190 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: it collapses, I guess good for them, Good for them. Join. 191 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, if there was an easy way to 192 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: spend two d f T and get legal residency in 193 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: a country that right to the United States, it would 194 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: just be good to have in your back pond. Maybe 195 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: it's not automatically residents, but uh, you know, this is 196 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: just the highlights. There might be some some fine print 197 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: that I am well, but what about my avatar, my 198 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: metatar or whatever? Would they have residency? These are questions 199 00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: to explore. You're a little sprite, metaverse, sprite whatever my 200 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: um demon is m is that how we pronounce it? 201 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: Just demon? Yeah? I think Paula might extradite. So anyhoy, Yeah, 202 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: so yeah it's useless. Um yeah, what do we? What 203 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: do we? Okay? So the Supreme Court five four ruling 204 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: that overturned an attempt in Alabama from a lower court 205 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: to force the state to redraw congressional districting maps maps. 206 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: According to that lower court, quote, um, black voters have 207 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: less opportunity than other Alabamas to elect candidates of their 208 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: choice to Congress. Alabama appealed this decision, and the Supreme 209 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: Court was like, yeah, you guys can be as racist 210 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: as you want. Um. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in an 211 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: opinion joined by Samuel Alito, quote, when an election is 212 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: close at hand, the rules of the road must be 213 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: clear and settled. Late judicial tinkering with election laws can 214 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: lead to disruption and unanticipated and unfair consequences for candidates. 215 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: Political parties, and it or among others want things to 216 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: be unfair, y'all, you wouldn't want things to be unfair 217 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: in a different way too close to the election. That's 218 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: not really what he's saying is that, like it's so 219 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: gaverny things to be unfair, we wouldn't want them to 220 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: be unfair in a way different than how they're currently 221 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: unfair when the elections coming up. It's incredible because it's 222 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: also like to a little more from from our our 223 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: buddy Kavanaugh. On top of that, state and local election 224 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: officials needs substantial time to plan for elections. Running elections 225 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: statewide is extraordinarily complicated and difficult. Those elections require enormous 226 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,359 Speaker 1: advanced preparations by state and local officials and post significant 227 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: logistical challenges. The district court's order would require heroic efforts 228 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: by those state and local authorities in the next few weeks. 229 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: He's just saying it's a little hard. Yeah, it's hard. 230 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: It's a little it's tough, Yeah tough. It's not that 231 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: it should like it should happen, but it's tough. We 232 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: got it saying this is this will be a little 233 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: hard for white people, so we got to disenfranchise black people. 234 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: That's wild the argument with its hat off, you know, 235 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean again, the whole redistricting thing on 236 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: the whole has gone better nationally than most of us anticipated. Um. 237 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: This is a disturbing ruling both because of what it 238 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: means for people in Alabama, where, um, while black folks 239 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: of the state, they're only represented in uh, one of 240 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: seven fourteen percent of congressional districts, which is sucked up. Um. 241 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: So this is like horrible for Alabama, and it's horrible 242 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: because of like it rewrites a lot of precedents, a 243 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: lot of court precedent on the Voting Rights Act. Um. 244 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: And so there's a really unsettling sort of um effect 245 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: this will have nationwide. Potentially, maybe we're not going to 246 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: see the worst of that quite soon because most of 247 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: the redistricting I think has already gone down. Um, but 248 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, well we'll see this is this is yet 249 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: another thing that like it might not be a this 250 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: year or problem, but is like it's one of those 251 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: things those seeds that get planted all over everywhere. Obviously, 252 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: this is an immediate problem for for Alabama, but this 253 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: is like I think, also a very long term and 254 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: it's easy to lose track of. It's easy to forget 255 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: about how these little pieces ultimately end up into being 256 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: a big problem. And it's not a little thing either. 257 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: I don't no, no, it's not a little thing. I 258 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: don't I'm not trying to minimize it saying that like 259 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: the worst of this hasn't happened yet and and will 260 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: it will be the worst of this will be slowly 261 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: unfolding for like the rest of our natural lives, unless 262 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court gets yeah. Yeah, um, and I'll say 263 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: that the worst of this episode is yet to come. 264 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: But we should probably uh break for ads before starting 265 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: the topic together. Everything, we're back. Nice. You know what 266 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: you want to talk about? Mask mandates being lifted? Oh? Yeah, 267 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: well we did it. That's happening. It's happening. Yeah, California 268 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: is lifting its universal mask mandate for indoor public spaces 269 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: next week. Um, get it on, except not in major cities. 270 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: Sacramento makeout party, I think Sacramento. It's still other places 271 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: like l A County where we are have not lifted. 272 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: That's I think it is. I think it is wise. 273 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I just in the past few weeks, I've 274 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: known so many people with COVID, just so many people 275 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: really sick with COVID, and all of a sudden, I 276 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: don't know that many people with COVID anymore. And that's reassuring, 277 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: but I still know they didn't die, they survived as 278 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: far as I know, and then all of a sudden 279 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: they work. Yeah. Yeah, because it seems like I don't 280 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: know peak over Um Spike spoke. Um, it's happening all 281 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: over the place, but not here. I don't mind it here. Uh, 282 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: it's still I'm still like in that phase where it's 283 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: like I don't care. I'll put it on I don't care. Uh. 284 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: In California, I guess residents are fully vaccinated and two 285 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: and five residents have received a booster. But that's like statewide, 286 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: big state. We're in l A. It's you are fully vaccinated. 287 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: To be honest, I think some people say seems low 288 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: for Los Angeles. Given the amount of time I've spending 289 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: juice bars in l A, it seems high. I actually 290 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: what reading that was like, that's better than I expected. Uh, 291 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: surprisingly pleased with us l A. Um, you know it 292 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: just just this last week I was seeing and we 293 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: all follow very different people on social media. I'm on Instagram, 294 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: and I happen to see a lot of moms, you know, 295 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: from my my Over my ten fifteen years of in 296 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: l A. You know, people have gone in all over 297 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: the world in California, and so I have a big 298 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: cross section that of people that I see on there, 299 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: and like so many people complaining about California mask mandates 300 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: and I've just been getting into it with a series 301 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: of moms where I'm like, just chill. I think like 302 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: there's there's a petition going around to like lift the 303 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: mask mandates and whatever, and like I've just said, like 304 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: I understand you're frustrated, but it's just a big state. 305 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: It's a big spike. Hospitals are overloaded. I bet if 306 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: you have a patient, I think in like a couple 307 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: of weeks, it'll be different. It's the profit. If you 308 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: want to be in California and not have to worry 309 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: about public health rules. There's reading, baby, It's always there 310 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: for you move to Redding. They don't. They have not been. 311 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: I was in reading in and let me tell you 312 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: they were not wearing masks. I mean, you know, it's hard. 313 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: It's easy to lose sight of like how vast I 314 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: mean this country is, but this state is, and how 315 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: many different geographies and demographics it's comprised of, and it 316 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: is really hard to you know, tailored to different areas 317 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: that are so completely different in their different um Anyway, 318 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: that's something hooray everybody. We seem to be doing it 319 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: elsewhere too, across the country. Yeah, I'm I mean, it's 320 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: whatever they're going to do with whatever, it'll either be 321 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: fine or we'll have another horrible COVID wave again and 322 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: this will just be the rest of our lives. One 323 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: of those two things is going to happen. Um, and 324 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: I say, let's roll them dice, baby m hm put that. 325 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: Let's let's blow hot air and spit on those dice 326 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: and then roll them out. Everybody go out and tongue 327 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: funk a stranger right now, I really would like ms anymore. 328 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: There was no more germs. We did it, We got them. 329 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: There were no germs, and then there was one germ, 330 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: but then we defeated. It is pretty funny that this 331 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: is like both in you know, Canada with the convoy situation, 332 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: and here, um, like se of of everybody is like, yeah, 333 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: I gotta get vaccinated.

You think about another person for a second, 337 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty funny. Um, it's pretty dope that 338 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: that's like a completely intractable problem. Instead of hear me 339 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: out here, we just all roll on them, you know, 340 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: just give him, give him a titty twister, like seventy 341 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: percent of the country gives thirty percent of the country 342 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: just like a big old purple nerple, you know, swirlies 343 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: stick their head in the toilets like we dedicated Yeah, 344 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: like far in their faith and we're done.

Yeah, we 347 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,239 Speaker 1: just got a bully them. You know, that's what it's 348 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna take. We're all going to have to bully the 349 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: third of this country that are insistent upon being ship 350 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: heads about this. Yeah, I guess that's I guess that's 351 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: what's got to happen. I've been like arguing with people 352 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: on next door to oh, don't do that, don't go 353 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: on just next door, don't go on next door, don't 354 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: talk to people on next door. Well it feels like 355 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: a better place to argue with people than on Twitter. 356 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yes, I don't know. Are you getting 357 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: making progress? I mean I get a lot of people 358 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: cheering me on comments, but then like somebody, one person 359 00:22:54,040 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: deleted my comments from their posts. Yeah, log back on 360 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: in a few days. About power? What else should we 361 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: talk about? I want to briefly mention and talk about 362 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: our former big wet boy, yeah, President Donald John President, 363 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: And how do you want to talk about him in 364 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: what capacity? Well, I just wanted to mention um that 365 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: Trump took a bunch of records with him, a bunch 366 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: of tomorrow and Nacial Archives had to go get them. 367 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: And I think it's it's only funny to me, And 368 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: maybe it's a big deal. I understand if you're upset 369 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: about it, um, because like he broke the law. Yeah, 370 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: he broke the law, is like obviously, like his lawlessness 371 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: knows no bounds. But I think it's funny because I 372 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: think that he just didn't know he couldn't do that. Yeah, 373 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: Like it's not like it's yeah, it's not like, oh, 374 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the records that they they're not gonna archives. Like, No, 375 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: he wanted his letter from Kim Jong Oon. He wanted 376 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: his Obama letter, So he put them all a box 377 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: and he took he was gonna he was gonna m 378 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: journal about it, you know, like his his whatever they 379 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: call him books, what do they? Uh, Yeah, precious memories, 380 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: a precious memories collection, A scrap book, right, a scrap 381 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: book if you will, that's what he was gonna do, 382 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: and maybe a vision board for his next run. I 383 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: don't know, Cody, Katie. This is a crime, right, like 384 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: like like a taken these things, all the bags they 385 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: were He wasn't allowed to do that. That's not that's 386 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: not a that's not a thing you're supposed to be doing. 387 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: So what what's the what what's going to happen? Probably nothing, 388 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: Oh he's no one's ever going to mention it again. 389 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: This is this is this, this moment on this podcast 390 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: is the last time any he's going to run for 391 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: office again, and everybody will have forgotten everything. Yeah. We 392 00:24:54,040 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: we just need to remember that crime exists for for example, influencer, hacker, 393 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: rap stars who steal bitcoin. Not for the president, oh 394 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: heavens no, not former presidents or current presidents. Yeah, any 395 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: kind any kind of any kind of president. We're good. 396 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: And now who was it that fucking was? Was Comy 397 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: who was talking about how we ought to Biden ought 398 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: to preemptively pardon Donald Trump? Yeah, James Comy, fucking gigantic idiot. 399 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: Just fucking stop talking, Jay, Like you've never been right 400 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: about anything. You're always wrong, bad and stupid and have 401 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: long been proven wrong. Away go away, are bad, bad 402 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: bad m I hate him that. Yeah, it just happened. 403 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: He was being interviewed by I think it's ABC. Um, 404 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking that up where it was on right now, 405 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, he was. He was like, yeah, he should 406 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: consider it, you know, um for the to the country 407 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: and ship. Yeah, he was like, Trump belongs in jail, 408 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: but actually doing that isn't in the best interests of 409 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: the country that ship. Oh my god, yeah, you know, 410 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: the best interests of the country. James, comey, um, were 411 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: you making millions of dollars off a book deal for 412 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: your stupid book taking pictures of dirt roads? Yeah, for 413 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: your secret Twitter prick, you super tall prick. Yeah. It 414 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: is better for the country that presidents are not held 415 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: accountable for the crime. Yeah, that's what everybody wants, is 416 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: for elected leaders to be not accountable for the horrible 417 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: things that they do. That. Speaking of that, probably good 418 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: time to talk about the Republican Party. Oh, they're doing good, 419 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: doing real good. They're live and kicking, making some solid choices. 420 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: Let's talk about how the how January six was legitimate 421 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: political discourse? Apparently apparently last week, Yeah, the National Republican 422 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: National Committee whatever. The Republican Party, uh censured Liz Cheney 423 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: and Adam Kinsinger for being a part of the janiory, 424 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: the Congressional January six investigation. Um, and you know the 425 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: capital attack and Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the presidential election, 426 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: which last week we saw lots of evidence about how 427 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: he was entertaining different ideas of how to do it. Um. 428 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: Any who, Uh, yeah, they they censured them and accused 429 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: them of participating in a Democrat led persecution of ordinary 430 00:27:54,560 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse. I'm sorry, I and 431 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: realize that was legitimate political discourse. There were thousands of 432 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: people stealing ship, peeing all over. I mean, look, peeing 433 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: and stealing ship can be parts of legitimate political discourse. 434 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: I didn't I see that. I didn't know before. Well no, 435 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean I I don't disagree with that. Like, for example, 436 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: if you have if your your city is occupied by 437 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: a violent, unaccountable paramilitary force UM that does violence and 438 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: steals from you and also gets paid your tax dollars, 439 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: and you were to damage their buildings and urinate on them, 440 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: I would call that an act of legitimate political discourse 441 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: because you are resisting an occupying force in your community. 442 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: I would say what makes it not legitimate is when 443 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: you go elsewhere, far away from where you live and 444 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: attempt to through force, impose your specific will on people 445 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: who live nowhere near you through violence. That I think 446 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: is kind of the key separation here. I don't agree 447 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: with people who are like violence and property destruction aren't 448 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: legitimate political discourse. Violence and property destruction are two of 449 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: the most common successful and the blood of our nation. Yeah, 450 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: it's it's what it's it is the reason for which 451 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: you're doing those things. Is it in order to deal 452 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: with an actual direct threat to yourself and your community, 453 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: or is it an order to impose your will violently 454 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: on people who live nowhere near you. One of those 455 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: things is valid, would would be my my contention. But um, 456 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: apparently UH used to break in and UH call for 457 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: the hanging of the vice president. Yeah, travel from miles 458 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: away by thousands of dollars in weaponry and assault people 459 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: who were elected by folks in other states to represent them. Um. 460 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: That is. You know, it's interesting though, because a lot 461 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: of uh actual you know, senators are in here trying 462 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: to not all of them though, but many are trying 463 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: to distance themselves from uh specifically, well, let me pull up. 464 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: I guess it is Romney, but like, yeah, Mitt Romney, 465 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: and I think Lindsay Graham actually also um distance about 466 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: themselves from it a bit, but you know, it's it's 467 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: it's a big question about what the future of this 468 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: party is continues to be. People are worried about re election, 469 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: but the you know, the Republican Party is pretty firmly 470 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: taking the side of Donald Trump here, and the future 471 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump. There's a statement released today or yesterday, sorry, 472 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: from various Republican leaders former officials condemning this statement about 473 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: political discourse. So wasn't it the statement from Ronald McDaniel, 474 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: Romney's niece or whatever. Oh I don't know she signed 475 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: it an way, But it's just interesting because it's there's, 476 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, this list of names, um, and virtually every 477 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: single one has the name the word former before their 478 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: position or title. It's all like, yeah, as a former congressman, 479 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: a former member of CORESS, former communication director. Oh yeah, 480 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: Anthony scar Mouci is involved. Um. But it's just that 481 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: stark difference of like, yeah, we don't we're not part 482 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 1: we're not in the club anymore because we don't agree 483 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: with this kind of thing. So we're gonna loudly say 484 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: how dare you? But like we're not, We're not involved anymore. 485 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: We're we're the old We're the old folks, um the 486 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: new folks. They love trying to get Mike Pence hanged? 487 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: What is there to say and do? What is there 488 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: to say? And do I feel that way? On even 489 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: more News we were talking about it when we're talking 490 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: about Trump last week. You fucking have to, but you 491 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: don't want to because it's like, what's the point is 492 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: fucking guy shrug? What is it? Like? I don't know 493 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: what to say, but you also have to talk about it. 494 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: It's like I see this train crash happening, the wreck, 495 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: but I don't I don't know how I save it 496 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: except for acknowledging that the fucking thing is happening. It's 497 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: a trap, is what it is, in a in a 498 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: similar way to like how the Joe Rogan discourse is 499 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: a trap where getting involved, even if you're like even 500 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: attacking them online, all you're doing is like helping them. 501 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: That's why I'm trying as much as possible not to 502 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: at least not to mention their names. Um, I made 503 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: like an oblique joke about Joe Rogan that I even 504 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: kind of regret because like the going like Fux, Spotify 505 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: and stuff, go go go after them, but going after 506 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: them and the guys are trying to get them to 507 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: drop Joe Rogan will do nothing but help them. It 508 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: is impossible to do anything that help him, will only 509 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: expand his reach. Like what And whenever you talk about 510 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: this stuff, people like, what should we be doing? Like don't, Like, 511 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a nonsense for sponse, Like what you 512 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: should be doing is is not not aiding and abetting 513 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: him by uh keeping his profile up and keeping his 514 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: name in the news. Um, it's not that he's been 515 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: on Twitter for the last like two weeks solid weeks 516 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: every day, not making him the big story. And you 517 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: can do that by just just let it go like 518 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: he is rich and powerful, Uh not, because he's not 519 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: like an isn't even like an Alex Jones thing where 520 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: he got artificially inflated by a bunch of algorithms. Joe 521 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: Rogan has been plugging away doing his thing for as 522 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: long as there have been podcasts, and he has several 523 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: million million people who will follow him anywhere he goes wherever, 524 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: and he's been offered that this whole other was that's nonsense. 525 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, yeah, regardless, he's 526 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: got opportunities. It's not about Spotify. But yeah, don't let 527 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: him be the center of the discourse. But if course 528 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: there's money in that, there's money and being like the 529 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, the centrist and liberal and left writers writing 530 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,479 Speaker 1: think pieces about how bad he is and let money 531 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: and and I don't it's one of those things. I 532 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: don't mean that it's bad to be pointing out like, hey, 533 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan says the in word an awful lot on 534 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: his show um Worth pointing out worth noting, But that's 535 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: not what like most of the discourse around him is. 536 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: And yeah, of course started with Neil Young saying I'm 537 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: gonna unless you drop him. I tweeted about this, but 538 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: I didn't tweet it, right. But I keep thinking about 539 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: Neil Young just being like on his fucking expensive ass 540 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: ranch in northern California, smoking a joint on a rocking chair, 541 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: watching all this ship happen all around and being like, yeah, 542 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, but like he's fine. Neil Young doesn't matter, 543 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: and he pulled his ship from Spotify to plug Amazon's music. 544 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: Don't don't fall for this. Um, it's not it's not. 545 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it could happen here later. I'm 546 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: just very frustrated by the thing. Yeah, and how long 547 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: it is? Yeah, yeah, I even Yeah, I tweeted a 548 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: joker too, and I deleted them pretty quickly, like I 549 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: don't want to. I just can't participate. Yeah, sorry, just 550 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: if you actually want to do things that help commit 551 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: to not using his name on social media or yeah, 552 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: but like worth, you know, worth pointing out that like 553 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: certain things like yeah, like he says this word, him 554 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: saying the black people of different brains than people like 555 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: that ship, Like that's like, yeah, it's good that that 556 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: clip is out there and people know that he said 557 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: that and probably still thinks it. Well, because because Joe 558 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: Rogan specifically, he's kind of a cross section, right, because 559 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that listen to Joe 560 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: Rogan that aren't like implicitly that don't necessarily support Donald Trump, 561 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: aren't necessarily Republican, doesn't support Donald's fromp right exactly. I mean, 562 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: he's got a cross section of people. So there's a 563 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 1: lot of people that are technically liberals or you know, 564 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: all thinkers, that it's dangerous. He can normalize things very easily, 565 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: and it is important to call out the things that 566 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: are happening and acknowledge what it is. But it's a 567 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: delicate dance because we're up in an uproar and again 568 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: you're giving an oxygen. You're paying attention to everything and 569 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: the thing that gives it oxygen. Again, not not actual 570 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: like analysis in research, but the the me too. I 571 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: gotta I gotta make everyone. I gotta make it known 572 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: that like I don't like Joe Rogan that I don't, 573 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: I have to chime in. I have to dunk on 574 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 1: him too, and could amplify it. We cancel your fucking Spotify. 575 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: Don't tag Joe Rogan and that ship. Don't like. Yeah, 576 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: maybe it'll hurt like Spotify a little bit. But you 577 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: can hurt Spotify without helping Joe Rogan. We can, we 578 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: can do that. Um yeah, every time the episode description 579 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: or the episode like, yeah, delete Spotify because of like 580 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: how they treat the musicians, not because Neil Young has 581 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: to share has to share space with Joe Rogan. Um 582 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 1: like that's weird. Uh. Well, we got to take another 583 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: ad break. Yeah, we get to together everything. Oh boy, 584 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: we are back and guys, I've been talking a lot 585 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: about the news today.

Um, it 647 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: was taken into custody, was spotted like had spots or 648 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,919 Speaker 1: the bird was spotted, the bird was seen. Okay, the 649 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: the the the exact bird. Uh, it's a hen. It's 650 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 1: brown feathers and a red comb.

Yeah, 652 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 1: I think I got one or two of those. Oh good? 653 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: Um was it? Wait? Was it your hend? No? No, 654 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: my chickens did in full trade the Kremlin at one point, 655 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: but that was unrelated. Okay, yeah, no, that's doesn't sound 656 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: like the same thing at all. Um did are they Okay? Yeah, yeah, 657 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: it was a sex thing. It's fine, okay, so successful, 658 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, get it chickens um uh yeah. So it's 659 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: just a it's a nothing story. Um, but somebody made 660 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: it a story. So now that this article about how 661 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: a fucking chicken was wandering around the Pentagon and we 662 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: need news. Yeah uh. A little note from from Garrison 663 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: at the Department Defense is expected to request an extra 664 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: twelve billion in funding to prevent further poultry related threat 665 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: to homeland security. Um yeah, I mean I think we've 666 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: got to cancel a couple of bridge repairs for this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 667 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: a few more bridges. You less wandering chickens. That's the 668 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 1: build back. Better promise slogan rights itself better, right, boys 669 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: coding you know what? Good for you, Thank you, thank 670 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: you very much. Ukraine. No, I mean, there's there's not 671 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: much to say other than the Russian military build up continues. 672 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: There's a lot of unsettling stuff there. Don't they have 673 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: occupation forces in addition to like you know, um well, 674 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: like two weeks ago they didn't all the artillery and 675 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: stuff was there. But now they're about of personnel that yeah, 676 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: based on some calculation. That calculations, but they from what 677 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: I understand of enough people to do a full scale 678 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: invasion of what this one group of analysts think would 679 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: be necessary for them to carry out a full scale 680 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: attack of Ukraine. Like, I don't know, um, I I 681 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: don't know that anyone again, because if this happens, if 682 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: this all goes really hot, um, this will be kind 683 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: of up the first example in our lives of like 684 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: to broadly peer forces meeting on the battlefield in in 685 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: in this kind of way. So I don't know that 686 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 1: anyone really has a good handle on how many troops 687 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: the Russians need for an occupation or like what percentage 688 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: Like well, I mean I don't, but I hear you. 689 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they're probably they may have some 690 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 1: intel that this is what the Russians think, you know, 691 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: based on what the Russians think that they would need 692 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: for that. Uh, it's it's still really unclear what's going 693 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: to happen or if again, like even Putin has a 694 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: clear idea of what's going to happen. Because it's entirely 695 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: possible that this is so possible. I'm kind of some 696 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: brinksmanship ship. Yeah, absolutely, the end hasn't been settled. Being 697 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: with Macron now heard um that there are a couple 698 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 1: I mean I was listening to the Daily earlier, but 699 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: um uh yeah, a couple of dates. Theoretically like he 700 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 1: might wait until after the Olympics are over. Yeah, you 701 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: want to get that. You want to get that news, bump, 702 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, you want to get that news well and 703 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,760 Speaker 1: also because you know, to not like detract from China's 704 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: moment or what have you, Um, this moment of having 705 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: fucking in an industrial thank god. Yeah, there's some great shots. 706 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: Um and again people keep well, what would you want 707 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: them to do? You know, you know, bulldoze somebody's home 708 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: and like, you know, destroy a pristine place. And I 709 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: would want them to do is not the Olympics because 710 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: nobody should do them? Or how about this I was reading, 711 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: I kind of want to since we're towards the end, 712 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: I think I'll talk more about this on even more 713 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: news later in the week, but just doing some reading 714 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 1: before the idea. I mean, like for years and years 715 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,839 Speaker 1: and years, it's always a problem like, yes, we have 716 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: to make snow in a lot of locations, but there 717 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 1: are environmental repercussions for all of that. And then just 718 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: in general, the the effect of the Olympics. We talked 719 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: about this ad nauseum six months ago when the Summer 720 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: Olympics happened. But but my point here being like a 721 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 1: different way to approach the Olympics would be to not 722 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: have them like this, or it could be a series 723 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: of smaller events set up. But you can have competitions, 724 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: but smaller ones set up in places that already like 725 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 1: ski resorts, are already have the infrastructure of us to 726 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: host smaller amounts of guests from out of town, and 727 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 1: that would actually be good for there. There there's an 728 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: argument to be made for that. So we're not talking 729 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:34,720 Speaker 1: about a large scale Olympic thing with a huge environmental impact. 730 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: We're talking about like normal competitions anyway, Just more on 731 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: that some other time Trump should have bought Greenland and 732 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: then we turned that into the Olympics place. All the 733 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 1: Olympics happen in Greenland. Speaking of a country with a 734 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of similar name to green Land, this is related 735 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: to Ukraine. One of the things that's very frustrating in 736 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: this meeting that mcron had with Putin, mccron talked about 737 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: being open to the Finland desation of Ukraine, which I 738 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,359 Speaker 1: don't think he consulted Ukraine on. Finlandization is a term 739 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,359 Speaker 1: for kind of what the Soviet Union in post World 740 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 1: War two did to Finland. If you if you know 741 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: a little bit about that history. USSR before World War 742 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 1: two tried to take over Finland. It wasn't that didn't 743 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 1: go the best for them. It could have gone um 744 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: and so after World War Two there's this arrangement made 745 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: that's like all right, Finland, you guys, get to keep 746 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 1: your own government and political system, but you have to 747 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: do what we want or do nothing in foreign policy. 748 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,959 Speaker 1: Like either you don't say ship or you you stay 749 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,879 Speaker 1: in line with us in foreign policy, and like that's 750 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 1: the agreement. We won't funk with you will let you 751 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: keep doing what you need to do politically, but you 752 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: don't say ship um, which I don't know, like, to 753 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: be honest, I think there's a decent chunk of people 754 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 1: in Ukraine wh would probably go for something like that 755 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,479 Speaker 1: if that's not another devastating war. Not a great deal, 756 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 1: but what's the alternative? It does be getting carpet bombed. Sure, 757 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: they are in a terrible situation. They're surrounded by troops, 758 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, like there there. I mean, yeah, politically that 759 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: might be a good yeah, I mean it might be 760 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 1: what they do, um like, but it is just like 761 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 1: this thing that keeps happening with these discussions world leaders 762 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 1: are having with Putin where it's like, okay, you said 763 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 1: this thing about what's acceptable. Did you like talk to 764 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: anyone in Ukraine about this or are we just having 765 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: this conversation over their heads? You know? Like I think 766 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: there's a probable answer to that, which is the last 767 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 1: thing you said, yeah, which is nobody really gives an 768 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: about Ukraine, which is why all of this has been 769 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: happening for again ten years, very close to ten years. Alright, 770 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,919 Speaker 1: So I think we did it. I think we talked 771 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: about all the news that there is in the land. Yeah, 772 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: there's nothing else going on. Um, So check back in 773 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,760 Speaker 1: next week where we will spend three hours reading every 774 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:55,439 Speaker 1: word of been Shapiro's analysis of nineteen We'll read, Yeah, well, 775 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: we'll get our our quotes ready, We'll we'll get the 776 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: passages to support our answers. I'll figure out how to 777 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: say totalitarianism. It does end with a bunch of with 778 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of like blank question boxes for you to 779 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: answer things. It's just like like again, like fucking like 780 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,720 Speaker 1: go to school, Like what like what is this fucking 781 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: worksheet you're making for people to pay to learn about 782 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: from Ben Shapiro? What is just read the book yourself, 783 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: read the book and like look at like this so 784 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: weird that he's doing this like study questions for people. 785 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: We should I mean I should we should have compared 786 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:37,359 Speaker 1: this to actual study questions. Yeah, let's see if this 787 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: is just the spark notes. Oh my god, what do 788 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: you fucking paying for school? Work? From Ben Shapiro, What 789 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: the hell? It's extremely funny. People make decisions I'll never understand, 790 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,280 Speaker 1: which is why we need to live in a totalitarian state. 791 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 1: That that stops this happening. The official line of worst 792 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: Year ever, uh, eliminate the human capacity for thought. There 793 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 1: it is, regulate double pane windows. That's right, that's that'll 794 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 1: end star seeing? Yeah, star gazing. Sorry, live in a 795 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: place where it's unclear if they can see the giant 796 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: mountain outside based on text on two days only tuesdays. Okay, 797 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 1: we're done. You know what? Every Everything? Worst Year Ever 798 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: is a production of I Heart Radio.
