Um, but anyways, Uh, funk 63 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: that guy and CNN plus let's move on to that 64 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: rest in peace plus fucking grand opening, grand in, grand opening, 65 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: grand closing CNN plus the streaming service that just you 66 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: know what you're reading is a headline from CNN. Now 67 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: you know that that headline was written from CNN, and 68 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: then consider the tone of headline CNN plus the streaming 69 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: service that was hyped as one of the most significant 70 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: developments in the history of CNN, history of CNN, what 71 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: the fuck will shut down on April thirty, just one 72 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: month after it launched. So I mean this, this feels 73 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: like this headline was maybe written by somebody who disagreed 74 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: with the decision. I mean definitely like front loading that 75 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: to be like, look at all the weight it just 76 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: collapsed on the most significant development because it's like you're 77 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: just in the history. Um, sure it will go down 78 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: in museums in history books as absolutely, but they're thirty days. 79 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 1: Uh and now like, oh man, the conservatives are loving 80 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: it because Chris Wallace left Fox News to do CNN 81 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: Plus and so they're just sea walking all over his 82 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: grave right now. Like literally there's like, you know, gifts 83 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: of like Tucker Carlson like laughing at a grave that 84 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: says Chris Wallace. Um, because he left, he switched teams, folks, 85 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: you know what happens. Why would CNN put Chris Wallace 86 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: on CNN plus? Do we think? I don't know this 87 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: fucking it's just so. The streaming ship is just so 88 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what their plans are. Clearly the new ownerships, 89 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: like we cannot do this anymore. Like this is a 90 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: fucking mistake.

It's weirdly so like 95 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: no streaming like news thing has really worked, right, Like 96 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: there's not something that's like the zeitgeist as a news 97 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: streaming video products. No, like no one's getting no, no 98 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: one's going.

I don't say that. 107 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: If Fox has there's streaming thing that doesn't seem to 108 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: there's no evidence that anyone has ever watched other than 109 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: people trying to be like let's see, let's see what 110 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: Fox's latest effort.

It's like 172 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm shifting. I guess that's a surprise. It's a good 173 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: one though. Anyways, let's take a quick break and we'll 174 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: be right back. And we're back, and the Supreme Court 175 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: has ruled eight to one that the government can just 176 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: continue to treat Puerto Rico residents like ship American citizens 177 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: like non um, basically saying that, so there's this whole 178 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: case happened because a guy moved from New York back 179 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: to Puerto Rico and he was still getting his s 180 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: s I so like you know, his Social Security Income 181 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: Supplemental Security income, and they were he was told to 182 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: pay it back. They're like, no, no, no, you're in 183 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. You can't have this money. This is this 184 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: doesn't this isn't applicable. And that's sort of how this 185 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: all happened to just sort of be like, can we 186 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: please make it the law that like, you can't just 187 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: be getting s s I benefits if you're in Puerto Rico. Um, 188 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: And that's essentially what this decision did because they were saying, no, 189 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: this does not violate the equal protection clause in the Constitution. Um. 190 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: The loan dissenter, surprise is the only person who's Puerto 191 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Rican in the Supreme Court, Sonya so Do Mayor. Justice 192 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: Soda Mayor was the loan dissenting opinion there, and it's, uh, 193 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, this is just a it's just so fucked 194 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: up like that we're talking about American citizens. But then 195 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: it's like no, but you don't gotta fucking extend like 196 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: all these benefits. Plus, like we said earlier, when there 197 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: was a Bodincaneer's day, it's like, yeah, you you're American 198 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: when we need bodies to fucking spill their blood in 199 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: the name of fucking American imperialism. Yeah, you want a 200 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: social safety net? Funk out of here. Yeah, that's straight 201 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: up colonialism. Yeah. So, you know, again just to keep 202 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: the theme, America help is not on the way ever, 203 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: and I think it also, you know, and it continues 204 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: this like very tortured discussion of like how the Puerto 205 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: Rican people want to live, what benefits they should have, 206 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: if they even want to be treated as a state. 207 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: What what does any of that gonna mean because all 208 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: of the examples of living under you know, American route 209 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: like rule has been absolutely nonsense. So uh, we'll see 210 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: some people pointing into like Gorseitch may have like stealthily 211 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: put like a potential that he would vote like if 212 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: if this bill was or this case was like brought 213 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: back in another capacity, that he might have been more 214 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: open to siding with uh, you know, Puerto Ricans or 215 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: just like the people who would have p Puerto Rican 216 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: would have been affected by decision. But I all I'm 217 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: looking at is the decision. And yeah, so to my 218 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: horror is the loan dissenting opinion. Let's let's talk about 219 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: gratuity fatigue folk. Thank god? Oh boy, I mean, wait, 220 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: what is it? I'm just like, I like anything fatigue. 221 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just say yes, m I'm tired of being grateful. Yeah, yeah, 222 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna read the first couple of paragraphs 223 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: of the piece from The New York Times. Last year, 224 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: Anna Johnson found herself using an electronic screen to pay 225 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: for a pickup order at a bakery in Phoenix, a 226 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: normal enough experience at many food businesses she frequents, but 227 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: this time she was bewildered when the machine recommended that 228 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: she tipped as much as thirty five percent on cookies. 229 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: I love your asshole New York Times voice. That's it 230 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: just surprised me that they're asking everyone for that, said Ms. Johnson, 231 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: sixty six. People can't afford to keep on paying more 232 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: and more and more. And then the thesis paragraph, which 233 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: is only a sentence long. Tipping fatigue, like Ms. Johnson's, 234 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: is real and it is widespread. So what that means, Miles? 235 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: It means that Americans have been too kind to one 236 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: another for too long? Um is I don't know? The 237 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: thesis here? Uh. Um, it sounds like they're right. Let 238 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: it's saying that because of the pandemic, people were more 239 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: tip conscious, especially as it related to someone like a 240 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: food delivery or like a checkout or anyone you could tip. 241 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: But it's just it's it's gone to the altruism to 242 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,479 Speaker 1: grat the generosity has a limit and interviews customers, including 243 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: some who have worked in the food service business, said 244 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: they felt uncomfortable with the many requests to tip and 245 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: pressured into giving more. Um. First of all, you like 246 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: to your your choice. This is just saying, hey, this 247 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: is an option for you to do if you don't 248 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: have the money. Like that's understood. Um. But at the 249 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: same time, I don't know, Yeah, it sucks that, like 250 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: we're in this system, like super producer Ian before we 251 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: start recording, was like, you know, at the same time, 252 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: there are lots of countries that don't have this tipping 253 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: culture that that might work better. Um, but America has 254 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: a tipping solution to healthcare, Like we we have go 255 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: fund means for uh, like life saving surgery or to 256 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: bury our loved ones. So like that that's where we're at. 257 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: Like that that's just the solution in America UM and 258 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: the fact that this is the social trends like the 259 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: The New York Times, rather than reporting on the systemic 260 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: issues that put us in this situation, continues to be 261 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: just a mouthpiece for the police UM to ignore the 262 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: funk out of like social and economic inequality and injustice. 263 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: And uh then they them through with like they're they're 264 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: putting efforts into interviewing customers to ask if they feel 265 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: like tipping is like out of control. Yeah, like that's 266 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: how you get here, Like they didn't they didn't just 267 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: like get a a tip from the tip desk that 268 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: like scientists have discovered this tipping fatigue trend. They are. 269 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: They were like, I'm at the Starbucks and they're asking 270 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 1: me to tip twenty day per cent, and then like 271 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: that becomes that becomes the story, right, rather than like 272 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,479 Speaker 1: you're saying, well, look, that's the New York Times. They 273 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: just need to change, like they're like subheading or you know, 274 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: they're they're their tagline to be the New York Times. 275 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: Nothing systemic to see here, folks, not just keep it moving. 276 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: It's actually tipping fatigue. It's not the thing is they 277 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: can never fucking talk about massive inequality it's not like 278 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: that people are having so much greed about being like, well, 279 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: what's a pandemic? You better tip me? No, it's it's 280 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: a pandemic. The fucking wages are stagnant. I have no 281 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: fucking medical support or insurance, so I'm left alone in 282 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: this fucked up health scape. Please, if you can find 283 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: it in your heart, if you may have a little 284 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: bit more to give, please find it in your heart 285 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: to do that.

Those 296 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: are countries where people they're like, lives are actually valued 297 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: enough that don't go broke because you're sick. It's not necessary, 298 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: like and also we can have we already talked about 299 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: the historical roots of tipping as it relates to slavery, 300 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: that we're only extended this version of like wage slavery, 301 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: and that's you know, maybe maybe maybe look into that 302 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: New York Times I don't know, mm hmm uh.

Um well, I 334 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: as a neutral, I thought it was great, you know 335 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: that that the hitting a buzzer beater and the venue 336 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: of a horrible nightmare for Joel Embiid previously. I think 337 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: it was nice. I like that he was getting in 338 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: Drake's face telling him to get ready for the fucking 339 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: sweep um, and Drake was like he, dude, he's like, 340 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: actually not really that cool because based on how he 341 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: was like going back and forth Joel Ebad, he looked 342 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: like a scared little fan guy who was like who you, 343 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see. I was like, dude, he got 344 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: your number. Just sucking. Just fade off into the back 345 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: yep Um, Celtics continue to beat the nets, which yeah, 346 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: I wish I didn't care about that series as much 347 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: as I did, but I do, uh and really want 348 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: the next win. Doesn't look like that's happening. Um, well, 349 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, just just keep an open heart, Jack, keep 350 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: an open heart, an open mind, and maybe maybe good 351 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: things will come. You never know. In my hunt for content, 352 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: where just other people being as excited as I was 353 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: about the MB game. Um, I made the mistake of 354 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: going to the ringer and uh that that is Bill 355 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: Simmons is uh, you know, new media thing not new 356 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: I guess, like six years old, but after grant Land 357 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: was no longer a thing. Um. And it's wild to 358 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: see like he had like four like half asked tweets 359 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: last night, Like one was just about like how you know, well, 360 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: they're they're probably like twenty about the Celtics. I just 361 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: like went through there, went through ignored them. And then 362 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: like his tweets on this Sixers game, which was like 363 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: the exciting thing from the night in NBA basketball, We're 364 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: all like Doc Rivers is like making bad mistakes. He's 365 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: like screwing up the side out of bounds and like 366 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: the shot that MBA hit was off of the side 367 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: out of bounds play and so he it was like 368 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: just freezing cold takes galore from him. And but then 369 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: like when you listen to Ringer podcasts, uh this morning, 370 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: like they are only talking about Doc Rivers being like 371 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: making them like they it's weird. It's like a pro 372 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: Bill Simmons like propaganda machine where they're only allowed to 373 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: acknowledge like the opinions he puts up on Twitter and 374 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: it is very esoteric. But it is interesting to see 375 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: such a weird uh. You know. Now he's I think 376 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: close to a billionaire and uh, I'm sure not getting 377 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: a lot of pushback, but like the that editorial staff 378 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: man when he's on a podcast there super producer around 379 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,239 Speaker 1: Hosnie I has talked about this before. I think on 380 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: the show, but they are doing the hardest laughs at 381 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 1: the wackiest observations, like it's it's like they're blinking like 382 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: torture in morse code like the video versions of the podcast. 383 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: Um yeah, it sucks anyways, Yeah ghost Sexers go Joel Embid, Yeah, 384 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: go on. Also I think just again, seven footer hitting 385 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: up buzzer beat or three winding overtime, that's just cool. Yeah, 386 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: you know yeah, and then didn't like the second he 387 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: let it go. I you know, it was confident and 388 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, somebody throw them throw them 389 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: one up in desperation. It goes. I'd hate to recommend 390 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: this to you, but if you really, if you're trying 391 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: to go where all the people are going to, you know, 392 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: bask in the glory of it, it's the Sixers subredit 393 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: because we're gonna get the most ship post decontent around it. 394 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: All right, I gotta go. I gotta go do that, 395 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: like right now, uh can do Sixers.
