WEBVTT - A Whole Buncha News 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.120 Welcome to Worst Year Ever, a production of I Heart 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:24.079 Radio Together Everything, So don't don't hello. Alright, cool, we're back, baby, 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.720 back for even more of the Worst Year Ever, mixing 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:32.440 up my shows. We're the first and only worst year 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:38.160 ever somehow three years in. Oh, it's Tuesday, it's February. 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.320 The weather outside is whatever. It's like wherever you are, Welcome, 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:47.640 wildly impredictable where you from. What's your weather like? Yeah, 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.879 say it out loudly. How are you doing boiling your 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:55.160 water again in Texas? Yeah? Yeah, gosh, golly, goddamn. At 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.960 least it was here. We are again competency, negligence and 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:04.720 not uh like the weather. I mean that it was 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.360 also due to the weather, I think, so, Yeah, it 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:13.800 seems a little bit like human human error or the weather. 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.360 They say, they say it's unrelated. City officials in Austin 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.240 have been very careful to say, like, this has nothing 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.560 to do, this is not another grid problem, this is 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.880 just incompetent. So that's yeah, that's it's like a new 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.600 nothing to see here. Folks were just unqualified. I would 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.240 talk shit about them, but it came out and no 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.399 one really cared. But it came out like a month 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.679 ago that the same person who blew the whistle on 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.840 the water in Flint, Michigan having highlight levels is like Portland, 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.280 Oregon is much worse. There's so much it's it's a 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.000 real huge problem. And everyone was like, that's cool. Let's 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:59.760 let's fund kicking houseless people out of encampments instead. You, Yeah, 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.960 we can afford our brit of filter systems or whatever, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.679 And I don't think most people have. Portland was kind 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.920 of famous for having really good public tap water. Apparently 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.160 this has been a problem forever. But people were like, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.359 but the water is so clean, it comes how the 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.760 river were great? Why is it famous for clean water 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.040 if it's been a problem for the water that's flowing 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.240 into pipes is great. But the pipes are like copper 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.200 with lead solder and do a variety of facts. The 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.760 lead is wearing away into the water. Like, it's not 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.520 we shouldn't have a lead problem here, but because of 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.840 things that were done in the construction of the water 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.480 system in the city, there's a lead problem. Put that 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.760 goo in the pipes and then expand the google you've 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.639 got to get to do in there. Yeah, the coup 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.480 of the gators into what there's like a there's like 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.040 goo tubes you put in the pipes and then you 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.960 expand them and then it makes the pipes usable and not. Okay, 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.040 and so what like what kind of chemicals are in 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:05.120 the back and floam? Probably right, yeah, probably most your 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:09.040 standard contaminants. Yeah, but like that's like we can like 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:14.280 we can hand mean get their daily minimum dose of flow. Yeah, 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.040 you need to get your flow, and no better way 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:22.280 than to go up your pipes. Right. Oh boy, that's correct. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:27.920 I just got a UM text message that says tall 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.760 evil booms show. Okay, click that talking about check that 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:37.040 out flowing up your Wait what does the text say? 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:43.600 It says it's like it's some from a random number. Nope, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.360 t a L dot dot dot Eva eva boobs show. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.920 Oh are you going to click on it? It's a link. Yeah, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.640 you should click on that. You should click on the link. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.600 I don't. I don't think I will click on the link. 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.040 I think it was I think that they're looking for 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.240 someone else that's not going to steal your bit coin 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.440 wall at Katie. That's what I'll tell you about that. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.880 Like is are are you are you referencing what happened there? 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:12.640 Is that couple. I have not read the story. So 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:17.040 there's this lady and her boyfriend. And her boyfriend we 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.640 don't know if he's the hat. Basically, like back in 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.560 one of the crypto banks, you know how there's banks 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:27.480 for cryptocurrency, like like exchanges. I think they call them 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.839 their banks essentially, except that they're unregulated and have no 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.480 security a lot of the time. So basically all of 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.080 them at some point get get robbed for absurd amounts 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.280 of money. Back in this one, I think it might 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.000 have been bit Finance, I forget the name. They're all indistinguishable. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.520 It got robbed for what is now four and a 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:52.000 half billion dollars worth of cryptocurrency um. And this wound up. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.720 We don't know if he was the one who did 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.880 the hack or if he just got passed the money 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.000 to launder it, but it wound up in this guy, 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.560 Eliah Lichtenstein, wound up being the dude who was like 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:07.080 laundering it along with his now wife. Her first name 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.800 is Heather. She's goes by the name of razzle khn 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.719 and his easily the worst rap artist I've ever heard. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.520 She's like, she's also like a writer, you know what, 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.520 you know what? She is. We'll talk about that in 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.000 a second, but first Dane'll give us thirty seconds of 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:32.800 the razzle kN music video. Yeah please, has Russell knot Win, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.120 come real far, but don't know where I'm heading? Motherfucking crocodile, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.920 Wall Street, Soper on my fingers and boots on my feet. 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.520 Always be a dot, not a gut damn sheet, email me, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:54.000 suck your message and the beet sept Oh. Yeah, so 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.880 she's did you guys listen? Did you guys ever listen 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.640 to Crai Shan? No, some people will, and she sounds 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.800 like if Crayshawn had a fatal head injury, that's how 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:11.080 she would sound. Um, it's it's really like, it's fascinatingly bad. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.120 Like I've listened to like six of her music videos 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.839 because the lyrics. There's one in the lyrics of one 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.719 which is about like, I don't know self defense. I 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.560 guess she talks about stealing from people's bitcoin wallets, which 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:27.479 is really fun. Writes you know, yeah, she writes what 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.320 she knows, so she like and it's all like filled 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:34.200 with cultural appropriation. She's apparently claiming to be Turkish, but 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:39.240 her like rap presence is a versagy Bedouin. Um, it's 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:43.440 all like really cringe, terrible, terrible shit. She also has 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.800 like a TikTok where she's just like, here's what I do, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.680 my entrepreneur, Like, as an entrepreneur, here's my business. So 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.440 she is a CEO of a company she started that 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.200 basically does email cold calls. They will write them for 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.360 your company. So if your company wants to send out 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.600 a bunch of mass emails to try to convinced people 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.679 to buy some stupid bullshit or watch some stupid video, 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.000 she'll write them. U there's there's been at least one 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.800 person on Twitter we invented I'm sorry, we just we 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.320 invented so many fucking stupid jobs. She invented this stupid job. 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.640 But that's like she's not the only one that does that. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.640 We just have so many whatever. I love this. She 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:27.120 did claim to have invented the field. And again, I'm 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.360 pretty sure I was getting these emails twenty years ago 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.760 when she was like nine. But but you know what, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:37.160 he claims to have invented email cultivator. She's also a 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:43.440 four A Forbes contributor, like Woad of Forbes'd like articles 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.200 and I love this. She for advising burnt out execs 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.360 to try rapping in order to recharge their batteries. Give 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.640 it a shot. It really worked for Rastlecock. What. It's 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.920 very funny. That article is really worth a read. She 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:03.400 is just the worst. Somebody points online who was verified 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.760 so maybe they were actually telling the truth, said that 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.800 they hired They realized after this broke that they had 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.840 hired her a couple of years back to write like 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.320 emails for their company to send out, and it was 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.720 like they were terrible. Everything was misspelled. It was really 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.120 clear that she was just taking their money and then 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.080 outsourcing it to someone who did not write English very well. Um, 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.240 to try and make a profit. Um. So she's just 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.400 a grifter who decided to become a terrible rap artist, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.199 hoping that like the winds of virality would carry her. 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.240 But none of what she does is any good. Um, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.839 it's it's the worst. She's so bad. It's not it's 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:45.400 through the world that being utterly mediocre. It's one of 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.480 those blown up Yeah. I don't think she was good 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.120 at grifting either. So her music was so bad, it 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.160 wasn't so bad, It wasn't quite so bad. It's good. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.240 It was too bad to be so bad. It's good, 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.480 except now she's gotten arrested by the FEDS for helping 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.239 to launder four and a half billion dollars and somehow 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.880 that pushed it over the edge, and now it's amazing. 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:10.400 M yeah, every everything. Yeah, there's no other reason you 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.840 would enjoy watching watching that, or listening to that other 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.880 than knowing everything else about her. Yeah, Daniel here put 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.840 in thirty more seconds of another razzle con video. Just 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.120 pick one. It's okay. She can't sue us. She's in 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:51.400 federal CUSTODYA don't rob, don't be, don't Oh yeah, that's 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:58.400 the best slaps slaps, as the kids say. Oh so, 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.880 she and her partner are looking it up to twenty 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.240 five years in prison for again trying to launder the 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.320 most money anyone has ever been arrested for trying. Going 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.200 to be really hard on their marriage. I think maybe 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:17.480 it'll bring together physically. You know. Sometimes I feel like 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:26.480 we host a radio morning show. Oh yeah, boys, I 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.559 don't know, yeah, um, I don't know. It's extremely funny 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.440 to be It's funny to me because it says a 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:37.120 lot about cryptocurrency, which, like in a normal world without 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:41.000 this nonsense floating around someone like Razzle Khan would have 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.600 you know, had her embarrassing videos at her like shitty 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.920 s e O company, she would have like been kind 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.960 of profited minimally from fucking up the internet just a 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.680 little bit, and like that would have been kind of 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.920 the most she could hope for. Maybe she would have 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.480 tried to launch like a juice type thing or like 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.559 a super food blend, but it would not have taken off. 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.280 She doesn't have the kind of charisma to sell that stuff, 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.520 so probably would have been just kind of drifting around 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.640 the edges of e commerce. But because of cryptocurrency, she 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.000 was able to commit the largest financial crime that anyone 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.440 has ever been a rest Have you seen this? Did 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.839 you see this yesterday? I just pull it back up again. 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.600 It was on Twitter for a bit. The specific island 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:27.079 Paradise wants you to become a crypto serious, right, yeah, 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:32.120 welcome about there. It's turning to crypto to boost its 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:36.120 economy or whatever. And basically, you guys, if you if 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.920 you do this just for two forty eight dollars, anyone 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.600 anywhere can apply for for a limited edition n F 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.240 T I D I D card. This means they can 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.439 use a palen business address, apply to change their name, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:52.360 legally open online accounts to trade cryptocurrencies based in this 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.440 little island, But you don't get to actually be a hummer. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.960 What about changing your name? Well it says you're not 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.240 automatically resident. Uh yeah, but you can change your name. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.160 Um yeah. The scheme could provide prove handy for for 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.400 Chinese and other investors. Use nations don't allow crypto trading, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:18.440 So yeah, that's fun. Yeah, I mean, you know, I uh, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.560 if Palau can make a profit off of this before 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.080 it collapses, I guess good for them, Good for them. Join. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.160 I'll be honest, if there was an easy way to 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.120 spend two d f T and get legal residency in 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.000 a country that right to the United States, it would 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.760 just be good to have in your back pond. Maybe 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:40.800 it's not automatically residents, but uh, you know, this is 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.840 just the highlights. There might be some some fine print 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.400 that I am well, but what about my avatar, my 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:54.400 metatar or whatever? Would they have residency? These are questions 0:12:54.440 --> 0:13:01.160 to explore. You're a little sprite, metaverse, sprite whatever my 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:06.080 um demon is m is that how we pronounce it? 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:13.440 Just demon? Yeah? I think Paula might extradite. So anyhoy, Yeah, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.640 so yeah it's useless. Um yeah, what do we? What 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.040 do we? Okay? So the Supreme Court five four ruling 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.880 that overturned an attempt in Alabama from a lower court 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.800 to force the state to redraw congressional districting maps maps. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.480 According to that lower court, quote, um, black voters have 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.160 less opportunity than other Alabamas to elect candidates of their 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.880 choice to Congress. Alabama appealed this decision, and the Supreme 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.720 Court was like, yeah, you guys can be as racist 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:46.720 as you want. Um. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in an 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.000 opinion joined by Samuel Alito, quote, when an election is 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.000 close at hand, the rules of the road must be 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.640 clear and settled. Late judicial tinkering with election laws can 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.240 lead to disruption and unanticipated and unfair consequences for candidates. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.840 Political parties, and it or among others want things to 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.480 be unfair, y'all, you wouldn't want things to be unfair 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.720 in a different way too close to the election. That's 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.439 not really what he's saying is that, like it's so 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.320 gaverny things to be unfair, we wouldn't want them to 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.840 be unfair in a way different than how they're currently 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.480 unfair when the elections coming up. It's incredible because it's 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.000 also like to a little more from from our our 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.600 buddy Kavanaugh. On top of that, state and local election 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.520 officials needs substantial time to plan for elections. Running elections 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:33.080 statewide is extraordinarily complicated and difficult. Those elections require enormous 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.359 advanced preparations by state and local officials and post significant 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.320 logistical challenges. The district court's order would require heroic efforts 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.880 by those state and local authorities in the next few weeks. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.960 He's just saying it's a little hard. Yeah, it's hard. 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.560 It's a little it's tough, Yeah tough. It's not that 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:55.840 it should like it should happen, but it's tough. We 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:58.640 got it saying this is this will be a little 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.640 hard for white people, so we got to disenfranchise black people. 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.320 That's wild the argument with its hat off, you know, 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:10.000 Um yeah, I mean again, the whole redistricting thing on 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:16.240 the whole has gone better nationally than most of us anticipated. Um. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.880 This is a disturbing ruling both because of what it 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.600 means for people in Alabama, where, um, while black folks 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.920 of the state, they're only represented in uh, one of 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.080 seven fourteen percent of congressional districts, which is sucked up. Um. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.280 So this is like horrible for Alabama, and it's horrible 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.800 because of like it rewrites a lot of precedents, a 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.520 lot of court precedent on the Voting Rights Act. Um. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:44.400 And so there's a really unsettling sort of um effect 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:49.160 this will have nationwide. Potentially, maybe we're not going to 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.560 see the worst of that quite soon because most of 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.280 the redistricting I think has already gone down. Um, but 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.320 you know, well we'll see this is this is yet 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.640 another thing that like it might not be a this 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:07.720 year or problem, but is like it's one of those 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:12.080 things those seeds that get planted all over everywhere. Obviously, 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.480 this is an immediate problem for for Alabama, but this 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.320 is like I think, also a very long term and 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.960 it's easy to lose track of. It's easy to forget 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:26.440 about how these little pieces ultimately end up into being 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.400 a big problem. And it's not a little thing either. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.200 I don't no, no, it's not a little thing. I 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.400 don't I'm not trying to minimize it saying that like 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.240 the worst of this hasn't happened yet and and will 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.480 it will be the worst of this will be slowly 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.880 unfolding for like the rest of our natural lives, unless 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:50.880 the Supreme Court gets yeah. Yeah, um, and I'll say 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.800 that the worst of this episode is yet to come. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.840 But we should probably uh break for ads before starting 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:13.480 the topic together. Everything, we're back. Nice. You know what 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.640 you want to talk about? Mask mandates being lifted? Oh? Yeah, 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.960 well we did it. That's happening. It's happening. Yeah, California 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.680 is lifting its universal mask mandate for indoor public spaces 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:32.560 next week. Um, get it on, except not in major cities. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:38.840 Sacramento makeout party, I think Sacramento. It's still other places 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.439 like l A County where we are have not lifted. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.680 That's I think it is. I think it is wise. 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.960 I mean, I just in the past few weeks, I've 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.040 known so many people with COVID, just so many people 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.679 really sick with COVID, and all of a sudden, I 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.360 don't know that many people with COVID anymore. And that's reassuring, 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.879 but I still know they didn't die, they survived as 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.320 far as I know, and then all of a sudden 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.800 they work. Yeah. Yeah, because it seems like I don't 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:15.359 know peak over Um Spike spoke. Um, it's happening all 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.919 over the place, but not here. I don't mind it here. Uh, 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.440 it's still I'm still like in that phase where it's 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:26.920 like I don't care. I'll put it on I don't care. Uh. 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:31.280 In California, I guess residents are fully vaccinated and two 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.360 and five residents have received a booster. But that's like statewide, 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:39.240 big state. We're in l A. It's you are fully vaccinated. 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.680 To be honest, I think some people say seems low 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.040 for Los Angeles. Given the amount of time I've spending 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.200 juice bars in l A, it seems high. I actually 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.960 what reading that was like, that's better than I expected. Uh, 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.639 surprisingly pleased with us l A. Um, you know it 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.320 just just this last week I was seeing and we 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.960 all follow very different people on social media. I'm on Instagram, 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.840 and I happen to see a lot of moms, you know, 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.919 from my my Over my ten fifteen years of in 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.280 l A. You know, people have gone in all over 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.440 the world in California, and so I have a big 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.520 cross section that of people that I see on there, 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:24.320 and like so many people complaining about California mask mandates 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.159 and I've just been getting into it with a series 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.679 of moms where I'm like, just chill. I think like 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.840 there's there's a petition going around to like lift the 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:38.560 mask mandates and whatever, and like I've just said, like 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.399 I understand you're frustrated, but it's just a big state. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.040 It's a big spike. Hospitals are overloaded. I bet if 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.080 you have a patient, I think in like a couple 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:53.040 of weeks, it'll be different. It's the profit. If you 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.480 want to be in California and not have to worry 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:59.760 about public health rules. There's reading, baby, It's always there 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.120 for you move to Redding. They don't. They have not been. 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.320 I was in reading in and let me tell you 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.880 they were not wearing masks. I mean, you know, it's hard. 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.080 It's easy to lose sight of like how vast I 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.480 mean this country is, but this state is, and how 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:19.720 many different geographies and demographics it's comprised of, and it 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:25.679 is really hard to you know, tailored to different areas 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.480 that are so completely different in their different um Anyway, 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.760 that's something hooray everybody. We seem to be doing it 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.960 elsewhere too, across the country. Yeah, I'm I mean, it's 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.040 whatever they're going to do with whatever, it'll either be 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:46.000 fine or we'll have another horrible COVID wave again and 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:47.639 this will just be the rest of our lives. One 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.240 of those two things is going to happen. Um, and 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.280 I say, let's roll them dice, baby m hm put that. 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:58.879 Let's let's blow hot air and spit on those dice 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:04.200 and then roll them out. Everybody go out and tongue 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:09.359 funk a stranger right now, I really would like ms anymore. 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:15.680 There was no more germs. We did it, We got them. 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.840 There were no germs, and then there was one germ, 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:21.120 but then we defeated. It is pretty funny that this 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:25.000 is like both in you know, Canada with the convoy situation, 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.960 and here, um, like se of of everybody is like, yeah, 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:31.960 I gotta get vaccinated. I'll try to wear a mask 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.320 when I'm in a business like that seems reasonable, and 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.080 thirty percent are like, I will murder everyone else on 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.600 planet Earth. You think about another person for a second, 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.560 and it's it's pretty funny. Um, it's pretty dope that 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.919 that's like a completely intractable problem. Instead of hear me 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.679 out here, we just all roll on them, you know, 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.840 just give him, give him a titty twister, like seventy 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.120 percent of the country gives thirty percent of the country 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.359 just like a big old purple nerple, you know, swirlies 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:04.200 stick their head in the toilets like we dedicated Yeah, 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.960 like far in their faith and we're done. Yeah, exactly, 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:09.480 Like really them up a little bit. How is that's 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.800 the way the Civil war pans out? Um? Yeah, we 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.239 just got a bully them. You know, that's what it's 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.960 gonna take. We're all going to have to bully the 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:21.000 third of this country that are insistent upon being ship 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:25.240 heads about this. Yeah, I guess that's I guess that's 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.359 what's got to happen. I've been like arguing with people 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:32.119 on next door to oh, don't do that, don't go 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:34.320 on just next door, don't go on next door, don't 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.000 talk to people on next door. Well it feels like 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.080 a better place to argue with people than on Twitter. 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.040 I don't know, Yes, I don't know. Are you getting 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.879 making progress? I mean I get a lot of people 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:53.200 cheering me on comments, but then like somebody, one person 0:22:54.040 --> 0:23:00.080 deleted my comments from their posts. Yeah, log back on 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:04.439 in a few days. About power? What else should we 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.320 talk about? I want to briefly mention and talk about 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:14.880 our former big wet boy, yeah, President Donald John President, 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:16.520 And how do you want to talk about him in 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:20.800 what capacity? Well, I just wanted to mention um that 0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:23.680 Trump took a bunch of records with him, a bunch 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:29.560 of tomorrow and Nacial Archives had to go get them. 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:33.359 And I think it's it's only funny to me, And 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.200 maybe it's a big deal. I understand if you're upset 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:40.360 about it, um, because like he broke the law. Yeah, 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.919 he broke the law, is like obviously, like his lawlessness 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:46.480 knows no bounds. But I think it's funny because I 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:50.240 think that he just didn't know he couldn't do that. Yeah, 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.439 Like it's not like it's yeah, it's not like, oh, 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.639 I'm gonna take the records that they they're not gonna archives. Like, No, 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.000 he wanted his letter from Kim Jong Oon. He wanted 0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.480 his Obama letter, So he put them all a box 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.000 and he took he was gonna he was gonna m 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:07.639 journal about it, you know, like his his whatever they 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:13.160 call him books, what do they? Uh, Yeah, precious memories, 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:18.199 a precious memories collection, A scrap book, right, a scrap 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:20.520 book if you will, that's what he was gonna do, 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:24.159 and maybe a vision board for his next run. I 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:29.720 don't know, Cody, Katie. This is a crime, right, like 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:33.359 like like a taken these things, all the bags they 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.560 were He wasn't allowed to do that. That's not that's 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:38.520 not a that's not a thing you're supposed to be doing. 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:41.800 So what what's the what what's going to happen? Probably nothing, 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.160 Oh he's no one's ever going to mention it again. 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.680 This is this is this, this moment on this podcast 0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:49.560 is the last time any he's going to run for 0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:53.920 office again, and everybody will have forgotten everything. Yeah. We 0:24:54.040 --> 0:25:00.600 we just need to remember that crime exists for for example, influencer, hacker, 0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:05.680 rap stars who steal bitcoin. Not for the president, oh 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:09.360 heavens no, not former presidents or current presidents. Yeah, any 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:12.480 kind any kind of any kind of president. We're good. 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.720 And now who was it that fucking was? Was Comy 0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:18.560 who was talking about how we ought to Biden ought 0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:26.320 to preemptively pardon Donald Trump? Yeah, James Comy, fucking gigantic idiot. 0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:30.680 Just fucking stop talking, Jay, Like you've never been right 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:36.680 about anything. You're always wrong, bad and stupid and have 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:41.679
