46
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: occasionally I have tried to eat some and I'm like, oh,

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: this is plastic. Maybe this isn't even edible. This is

48
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: like you know that. But that shitty button candy where

49
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,040

00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: what's what are the button candy is like you guys

52
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: might be too young. Yes, it looks like paper from

53
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: there from like an adding machine, like an analog adding machine.

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: And then there's like a little like a scantron form.

55
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: But it's like psychedelic. Yeah, yeah you candy. It has

56
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: paper on it still, so that can be like fun.

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know if there's something magical about how

58
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: shiny it is. They should call it rambow scantron candy.

59
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: I did when I was picturing in my head, I

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: was thinking of that candy. But I was calling it, dots.

61
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Dots are just the are like jelly uhmbles, Yeah, a

62
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: little thimbles of jelly candy. Yeah, dots are supposed to

63
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: be gum drops without This came up recently. My podcast

64
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: is not about snacks. We just talk about snacks a lot.

65
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Uh and came up on the show because we were

66
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I was pulling people to find out do you think

67
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: that they're awful or good? And I was shocked at

68
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: how many people love dots. I've literally never met someone

69
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: until all of a sudden, all these dot fans came

70
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork. Yeah, I don't I don't trust them.

71
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's a great first question. We

72
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: usually open up asking our guests what their search history

73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: is an overrid under it. I think we're going to

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: start asking start by asking them what their feelings are

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: on dots. It tells you a lot about I mean

76
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: that should be something that's in like a dating profile. Ye, yes, yes,

77
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: because it's a deal breaker kind of question. It's sort

78
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: of what's indicative of like what brings someone pleasure? You know?

79
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: I think when you're some like whoa that I don't know?

80
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: Then I don't know if we're speaking the same language anymore, exactly.

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: All right, we are going to get to know you

82
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a second, Alison. First, we're

83
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: going to tell our listeners a few of the things

84
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're gonna talk about the Supreme Court vacancy.

85
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Pet Toomey is probably the senator who seals it. Um,

86
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see. We also have you know, Romney, they're

87
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: they're in competition to see who seals it. Either way,

88
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: we're fucked. It's weird, like because even yeah, it's it's

89
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: still anything twenty you know alien could you know Independence

90

Speaker 1: Day the capital and we'd be like, yeah, I don't know.

91
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: I guess seem hopeful for like a second, I feel

92
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: like there was like a day where it's like, oh,

93
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: maybe they'll actually be able to you know, maybe the

94
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: Republican We're not supposed to talk about this yet, right,

98
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: dots though. Huh, We're gonna ask the question who could

99
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: it be? Now? Uh, it's looking like Amy Coney Barrett. Uh,

100
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: depending on how much they are willing to dig into

101
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: the people of these group. We're gonna talk about that,

Speaker 1: gonna talk about I won't tell you what milestone it's past,

107
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: but it sure has past milestone. We're gonna talk about

108
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: foods that changed when we weren't looking. Uh. General Mills

109
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: sort of told on themselves about some of our childhood cereals.

110
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that's not

111
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: as good as they used to be, talking about the

114
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: we like task our guests, what is something from your

115
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: search history that is revealing about who you are? Um? Okay, So,

116
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: uh my search was portable Notebook AD nineteen nineties and

117
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: this was one of like fourteen hundred similar searches. I

118
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: also did Portable brother AD nineteen eighties. Portable typewriter AD

119
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, nineteen nineties. I could not find what I

120
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: was looking for. The reason I was looking for this

121
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: is the aforementioned art and marine who was just on

122
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: my podcast. She and I on email. We're talking about

123
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: a book that I want to write, UM, and she's

124
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: sort of been helping me just I don't know. She's

125
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: been trying to motivate me to like just do it,

126
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: just put it on paper, and I feel like the

127
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: blank page is daunting, and I feel like I just

128
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I just want to leave it in my brain to

129
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: like marinate right now, which is really just me being lazy.

130
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: I don't feel like sitting in front of my computer.

131
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: And I was saying, like, I think my computer is

132
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: intimidating me right now. I need one of those portable

133
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: typewriters from the ADS in seventeen way back when where

134
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: like you could take it on train. And I said

135
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: more details about the AD that I was talking about, UM,

136
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: but I wasn't sure if she would remember what I meant.

137
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: So then I was trying to find an image of

138
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: this AD, and UM, I can't find it. I am

139
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: left now to wonder did I invent this. This is

140
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: like oftentimes this will happened to me where I'm like,

141
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: there was an episode of Facts of Life that was

142
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: a takeoff of Twilight Zone, Right, that's so weird, though

143
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: did I imagine that? And I did not imagine? It

144
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: is called Seven Little Indians. So anyway, there was like

145
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: I feel like it was sort of like a smart

146
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: typewriter or something. It was like a Dell typewriter, but

147
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: it had some kind of computer aspect of it, and

148
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: it was I don't I don't think it was the eighties.

149
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: I think it was the nineties, and it was in

150
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: either like seventeen magazine or Sassy. I read all those magazines,

151
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: Sassy magazines, and they would show two different people using

152
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: this like I don't know if it was IBM or Toshibra.

153
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what brother or Dell or what it was,

154
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: but two different people and like how it would be

155
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: incorporated into their life, and it was on one page

156
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: and it was split down the middle, and like one

157
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: person took it on the train and they did the

158
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: other one like went to a cafe. I cannot I

159
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: cannot find it. So some pro sure it's not the

160
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Macintosh one what you're describing is more like I would

161
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: call like a word processor, right, because that's what they

162
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: would call him back then, when like it was a typewriter,

163
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: like but it had this little tiny screen on it,

164
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: so it's kind of like a computer. So maybe search

165
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: word pro. I don't know, you're used to type like

166
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: her like movie articles, like when she was critiquing films

167
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: like on one of those, and I was just like,

168
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: what the funk is this thing? It's so weird, and

169
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the smallest screen. But yeah, word pro

170
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: was the wave of the future. Well in Japanese you

171
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: call which is a so you just just basically short

172
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: condensed it, so as you're like, yeah, that's that whapro

173
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: right there, Maybe I should have searched yeah, or word

174
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: processor ad whatever. But yeah, if there's any type of

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: st or enthusiasts, archivists, historians, please please holler at Allison that.

176
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: So initially when I typed like portable typewriter AD, these

177
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: really old vintage ads were coming up and I was

178
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: like this is not at all, like yes, yeah, yeah,

179
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: well the first time that they sold typewriters that weren't

180
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: bolted down to like the house that you lived in, right,

181
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: they did used to be Remember my parents had them.

182
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: They each had one like his and hers. They probably

183
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: like a wedding present or something. And they came in

184
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: these like big almost suitcases that you would carry them around,

185
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they were super heavy, right yeah, yeah, No.

186
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: I remember the typewriter my family had when I was

187
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: growing up came in like a suitcase thing. Um, also

188
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: a personal defense weapon. Yeah. What is something you think

189
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: is overrated? Oh? I wrote down two of them. One

190
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: is more frivolous us and one is a little No,

191
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: I'll do the Okay, I'll do the more serious one. Um.

192
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: I personally think doing things really young and being advanced

193
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: is overrated. I was in I wasn't like doogie howser

194
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: or anything. I was just your average kind of like

195
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: accelerated kid. I was, you know, in AP classes I

196
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: was taking. So I was taking some college classes in

197
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: high school, some high school classes in eighth grade, and

198
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: it I always it just felt like extra pressure. I

199
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: feel like most if you're gonna, if you have the

200
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: ability to to do those subjects, you eventually will get

201
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: to them. What is the rush? And then also I

202
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: wrote for the l A Times when I was eighteen,

203
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: which was like a real big feather in my cap,

204
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: you know, I was. I started writing when I was

205
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: in high school, and I for the longest time, I

206
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: was like the youngest person in any situation I was in,

207
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: and so much of my identity was kind of shaped

208
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: around this idea of like being the I'm so young

209
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: to be doing X y Z. But the problem with that.

210
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah again, I don't mean, I don't want to paint

211
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: myself out as like I didn't graduate Harvard at eight

212
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: at four, I didn't. I also didn't go to Harvard,

213
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: but I wasn't like one of those people, but I was,

214
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, younger than everyone Cameron Crow of the l

215
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: A Times, you know. Um. But the problem with that

216
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: is it doesn't last and then, uh, you know, eventually

217
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're the same age as everyone,

218
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden everyone's younger than you,

219
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: and it can mess you up. So I just think

220
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: that whole thing is overrated because it sets you up

221
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: to then have trouble transitioning into like just being of

222
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: average as adult mediocrity. Yeah. Yeah. My wife was a

223
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: like musical prodigy when she was young, and I think

224
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: it like totally turned her off of music. She she's

225
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: like playing Carnegie Hall and she was like seven, and wow,

226
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: the whole trick was like, she look how young a

227
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: flee circus, just a ccus. She was an amazing musician.

228
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: But then there's actually a chicken playing a piano behind her.

229
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: That's the real gag. And they didn't even but I

230
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: remember her friends from high school when they met me,

231
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: they were like, you haven't seen her play like the

232
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: piano or the violin because she's just like kind of

233
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: got burnt out early. I think that also happens, right,

234
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: And also I feel like that one relates to people

235
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: right now who feel like their life is stalled because

236
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, which I think is everyone. And also

237
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: if you have kids doing remote learning and all that,

238
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: and these concerns about like what's going to happen they're

239
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: off track, Um, it'll be okay, Yeah, they'll figure it out. Yeah. Yeah.

240
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I think you have young children too, write I do. Yeah,

241
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: I have a three and a half year old and

242
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: a one and a half year old. Yeah, I have

243
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: a and yeah yeah they're so they're like the same ages.

244
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: It is tough. One of the best things I heard

245
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: early on was like when we were worried about our

246
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: older boy like being potty trained, and one of these

247
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: child experts was like, yeah, you know what, I don't

248
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: know too many kids who like got to high school

249
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: and still we're not potty trained. You'll be fine. And

250
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, that's yeah, that's a longer time frame.

251
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: I feel bad. Now what what high school? Yeah? Have you?

252
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: Did you not get it by then? I mean college.

253
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Definitely actually went back towards in college because I was

254
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: drinking so much. But I just well, to Allison's point,

255
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: I think doing things so early is a little over

256
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still on my potty journey right right,

257
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: But you have pull ups and that's I've always been

258
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: impressed by that. Yeah, well they're fucking sick as fun

259
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: because they have like I got him in like this

260
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: miner prints. Now, Alison, what is something you think is underrated? Oh? Um,

261
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a real basic kind of thing.

262
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: But I think just one of those heat pads that

263
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: you plug in is underrated. I think not enough people

264
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: talk about loving a heat pad. Every night, I plug

265
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: mine in, I turn it up, and I get in

266
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: bed and I put it on my abdomen, but really

267
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: I could put it anywhere and I feel super snugly

268
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: and comfy and cozy, and it like instantly relaxes me. Now,

269
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: some people don't like to be warm, but I do.

270
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: And I find that it's just like, um, sometimes if

271
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm feeling super stressed, I'll just turn on this is

272
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: painting such a pathetic picture of me. But I also

273
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: enjoy an electric heat electric heated throw and I'll just

274
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: sometimes back in the day when I traveled, I would

275
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: even travel with it. Um. I just find it totally

276
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: makes me feel secure and relaxed. It's like a weighted blanket.

277
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, do you like a weighted blanket too?

278
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't own one. No, but that's the thing. I've

279
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: been told that it's like that, and I don't. I'm

280
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: kind of neutral on the lead. April, right, you're more

281
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: about here a heat person less yeah, heat person, less

282
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: of a weight person. But full disclosure, I was supposed

283
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: to receive a weighted blanket because they were a sponsor

284
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: on my show, and it accidentally got sent to the

285
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: wrong office, and then I was told it would be

286
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: forwarded to me, and it never was, I imagine because

287
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: the postage of a weighted blanket is just too much. Yeah,

288
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: what do you want me to do with this? How

289
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: do you guys feel about them? I like, I love

290
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: a weighted blanket. One of my cats peed on it recently,

291
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: so I gotta do a whole thing there to remove

292
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: that wonderful scent. But I love it. We also, full disclosure,

293
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: we didn't add for one as well, and I love

294
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: a dental X ray. I love you know all of

295
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: I just love the feeling of it. You just want

296
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: to crush my chest. I think I made a crucible

297
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: reference when we were doing the add. I think one

298
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: of one of the things that they asked us not

299
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: tempa size, But I think I can talk about now

300
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: great babysitter for children who are like one to two.

301
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: You just like throw that thing on top of that

302
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: and they're they're good. Yeah, they'll eventually fall asleep, they

303
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: get took. Am I right? You guys are a weighted

304
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: blanket podcast? Right? Am I right? That they are kind

305
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: of all small though? Or is it like full body size?

306
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Full body full body the one we did, Yeah, and

307
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: I got I kind of I went a little too

308
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: overboard with the weight to the point where I was like,

309
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: it's comfy, but a little too much, Like my partner

310
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: was like trying to get it office like you weren't breathing,

311
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, it was a it was a lot.

312
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: But the thing about that I love them in Japan,

313
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: we we keep talking about Japan is like heated carpets

314
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: are thing in the winter where you'd put this basically

315
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: throw like carpet sized heating pad underneath your carpet, so

316
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: like because you slid on the floor a lot in Japan,

317
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: so you just have this nice heated carpet I want

318
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: to have. I want to bring that vibe like to

319
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: my home, but it's just so hot, like there's no

320
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: need for it, but there's just something comforting about just

321
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: like laying on an entirely hot rug too. Yeah. I

322
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: love that. Yeah. And laws who are Korean are way

323
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: into heated blankets, heated everything. I've noticed that just like overseas,

324
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: like heated tal rax are almost like very common, like

325
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: much more common. I think heated things just in general

326
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: or are less common in the United States. And it's

327
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: just how cultured, elegant and um worldly I am. And

328
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even know exactly exactly what is something people

329
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: think it's true, you know, to be false or vice

330
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: versa something false. I think there's this idea. I okay,

331
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: I had this idea that in order to get pregnant,

332
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: all you have to do is stop preventing pregnancy. I uh,

333
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 1: you know, dare and and sex d and save sex

334
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: and all. That was so like beaten into my brain.

335
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: Um that sounds more violent, but I just mean I

336
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: grew I grew up so afraid of all the things

337
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: that come with sex that I was like, so, you know,

338
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: I didn't the idea of not practicing safe sex was

339
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: just I couldn't even imagine it. Like the first time

340
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: I had sex, I took a pregnancy test even though

341
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: we also used condoms. Um, this is too much information,

342
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: but I just was so afraid of it. Um. I

343
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: really expected that like the minute I try to get pregnant,

344
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: I will get pregnant, because it's you know, and for

345
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: me it was so much more difficult. I didn't even

346
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: consider the idea that it might be that it just

347
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: isn't going to be super easy. And we I've been

348
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: very public about it on my show. We ended up

349
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: doing IBF for both my kids. So it took a

350
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: whole team of scientists and a lot of money in

351
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: order for me to get pregnant. So that I don't

352
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: want to be here. I don't less anyone young listen

353
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: to be listening to this. It might be super easy

354
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: for you to get pregnant, so it's still is easy

355
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. For me it was not. Yeah,

356
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: and judging from the standing room only crowd at the

357
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: fertility clinic, for a lot of women, it is not right. Yeah,

358
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: the those like sex abstinence talks that because I want

359
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: to like a Lutheran like middle school, where first of

360
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: all they showed was the most dated fucking footage of anything,

361
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: Like I didn't know what my own penis looked like

362
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: based on what they were showing, I was, what the

363
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: funk is this? It looks at a cross section of

364
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: like a pringles can, and I'm like, I don't know

365
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: what the folk we're looking at. So they did us

366
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: a disservice there, and then I think but also like

367
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: the big like awareness around safe sex also kind of

368
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: put swung my pens on the other way where I

369
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: was very concerned about like any kind of sexually transmitted

370
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: diseases and things like that that I was always like, no,

371
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: we always were condoms. I was like, my friends whould

372
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: like even in college, they would be in committed relationships

373
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: and like not using condoms. I'm like, okay, yeah, good luck, bro,

374
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. And like we've been together

375
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: for three years and uh, well I still have this

376
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: teacher's voice ringing in my ear that all it takes

377
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 1: is one time. Um, all right, guys, let's take a

378
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back to talk about

379
00:21:48,760 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: the news. And we're back, and the Republican Integrity Watch

380
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: has has officially completed. We know officially there won't be

381
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: enough Republican Senators to stick to their policy on whether

382
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice should be confirmed in a election year. Well,

383
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: because last time it was different because there was a

384
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Democratic president and then a Republican Senate. So now that

385
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: it's a Republican Senate and a Republican presidency, that's why

386
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: this time is different. Uh, you know logical explanations I've heard, right,

387
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: which is like playing monopoly with someone and all of

388
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: a sudden they just reach over and they grab some

389
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: of your monopoly money. And I'm like Oh yeah, we

390
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: have a rule where thirty seven minutes into the game,

391
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: we just all take six hundred of your dollars um.

392
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Didn't you know about it? Like that to me, like,

393
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: does anyone believe that this is a rule or that

394
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: this is precedent because it's never been precedent previously. Well,

395
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: this is where like our tools of using historical references

396
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: and precedents are just ineffective against the opposition. They don't

397
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: they don't care. They're like, look, the problem is mathematically,

398
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm speaking as a GOP. They're saying, we

399
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: don't have enough fucking people that believe in our mess

400
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: of a platform because so racist and hateful that we

401
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: all we can do is suppress the funk out of

402
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: the vote and rely on this completely imbalanced system of

403
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: representation to use minority rule to just hammer through the

404
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: most fucked things. So, yeah, we're gonna do whatever the

405
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: funk we can at any point, because it's it's a

406
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: cornered animal, like it's it's in a fight for its

407
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: life at every point. And Democrats are always sort of like, yeah,

408
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: well wow, I mean Lindsey Graham said we should use

409
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: his words against him, and yep, check this out cut

410
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: to he doesn't give a fuck, So what now? Like

411
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: all all this I think really needs to signal to

412
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: people is that they're like the rules are completely gone, um,

413
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: and that things actually need to happen in terms of

414
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: addressing these kinds of like just completely bad faith maneuvers

415
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: from from the GOP right. I do think Democrats get

416
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: a bit distracted by these arguments and then attempt to

417
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: dismantle them as and then that's just sort of like

418
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: getting distracted by this shiny thing over here when I

419
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: and I it does seem that way. They're they're going

420
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: to do it if they can. They did it because

421
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: they could back in two thousand and sixteen, and they're

422
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: going to do it because they can now, and it

423
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: is Yeah, it's I mean to your point, Miles, they

424
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: they're fully aware that they are the minority in a democratic,

425
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: uh institution, and so they have this insurgency mentality where

426
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: they are just always looking for ways to cheat the system. Um.

427
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: I guess my question would be the only thing that's left,

428
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: because I is under no pretense that they were going

429
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: to not move forward, is like will this hurt them politically?

430
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: Like will the people the independents who are like, yeah,

431
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: sometimes I vote Republicans, sometimes I vote Democrat. Like see

432
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: this and just I mean it's it's wrong, right, Like

433
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: it's yeah, if anything, like Democrats just be like, this

434
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: is why you can't trust these fucking people. They're despicable,

435
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: like and just let that be. It be like this

436
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: is despicable. I don't I don't need to talk about

437
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: their hypocrisy. They've proven how craven they are, so there's

438
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: no point in like trying to convince a Republican voter.

439
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, can you believe how hypocritical this entire

440
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: party you've been supporting, like through thick and thin? Is it?

441
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: Like they don't care. They have their endgame of this,

442
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: like ethno state with you know, Christianity at the top

443
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: and like sis hit people like ruling the entire globe.

444
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: But regardless of what happens, you know, even if Democrats

445
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: can stall something out and they aren't able to get

446
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: an anything done before January, we have to add seats

447
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court. I mean that's like pretty much

448
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: the only way to to try and level this because

449
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: you have lifetime appointments and even if you know, let's

450
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: say Biden gets in and they're still able to block

451
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: someone that block the Republicans from philling Ginsburg seat, and

452
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: then they put a liberal justice in there, you still

453
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: have a conservative leaning Supreme Court that will be more

454
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: than happy to obstruct any of the policy goals that

455
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: the Abiden administration would have, just because that's what the

456
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is there for. It's like, if you argue

457
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: and sue enough, you'll eventually find your way in d c.

458
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: And be in front of a Supreme Court that's more

459
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: than willing to help. Yeah, you know, I've seen the

460
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: argument made that, well, once the Republicans are back in power,

461
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: that they'll just add more until it's like handmade's tale basically,

462
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: and you know they're there's just like thirty Supreme Court

463
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: justices and we just keep more and more justice arms

464
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: race will be more people on the court then there

465
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: are not, right then there are like Congress people like okay,

466
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: we have six hundred six Supreme Court justices now. But

467
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean, but that's to your point, Like I feel,

468
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: if you're a Republican, you've got to think like, if

469
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: we don't do this, like we're we could be done

470
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: unless Democrats still want to be humane with us, even

471
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: though we've been so inhumane with everything constantly. But I

472
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: still feel, like, you know, Joe Biden, in his heart,

473
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: he still feels like there's like that bipartisan thing that

474
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: can still happen, even though they've fully taken their masks

475
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: off and they're like, we're not really here for that.

476
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: We just we're just grinding this thing out till the

477
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: wheels completely blow off. It's interesting, Miles, the way you

478
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: describe the Republicans um as a cornered animal. That appeals

479
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: to me because I see them more as um a behemoth. No.

480
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so desperate. You know, before it is

481
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: easy when you know the stock market was doing great

482
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: and they didn't they could do everything behind this veneer

483
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: of like being proper. But now their idea like the

484
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: heat has just been on, Like it's just I've been saying,

485
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: it's like a stew that's just been reducing and reducing

486
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: and reducing and all that. It's now we're just you've

487
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: burnt off any of the people who were with it

488
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: when it was more like this sort of apple pie,

489
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: white picket fence idea of like American conservatives, and now

490
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: it's been boiled down to like now we're looking for

491
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: we're more like reconstruction Jim Crow type people, and that's

492
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of the vibe. And because of that, yeah, numerically, yeah,

493
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: and you're just outnumbered and you're only dealing with the

494
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: most hardcore now. And because numerically you are at a disadvantage,

495
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: like absolutely, like you, they're their backs are to the wall,

496
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: and that's why everything is so just awful, because that's

497
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: sort of you know, when you're at the end of

498
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: your you know, at the end of the road, we're

499
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: going to I think this is the end of the

500
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: road for them. Like again I said, this is very

501
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: appealing to me because they are going to grab power

502
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: and have power for a while. And that's what scares me.

503
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: So you know, what I mean to say is that

504
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: it's not that they're gonna vanish and then we'll never

505
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: hear from them again. It's just that they are unable

506
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: to with the way the you know, society is moving

507
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: and what is becoming more normal and who how we

508
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: think of humanity that their party just isn't going to

509
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: augment their numbers at any So in that sense, there's

510
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: a desperation because the ideology has gone completely flat and

511
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: it's no longer inviting more people into it. They will

512
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: absolutely be able to find two ways to stay in

513
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: power because they're willing to go to depths. Most people

514
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: didn't think anyone would, but that's where we're at. So yeah,

515
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean not to say, I mean, I wish it

516
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: was something like you know, Wicked Witch scenario and and

517
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz and it's just like but yeah,

518
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: it's just more that you're like, oh, they're desperate, and

519
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: there's nothing more dangerous than you know, a cat like

520
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: trying to avoid going into a bathtub, like and this

521
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: cat has like a ton of like adamantium claws and

522
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: like fucking weed whackers attached to it. So it's like,

523
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: fuck that cattle piss on your weighted blanket. Yeah, oh

524
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: you already did. Yeah. I think the fact that they

525
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: combine the aspects of a behemoth with the aspects of

526
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: a cornered animal is what's so scary to your point, Allison,

527
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: like they are they are acting desperately and also have

528
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: like three of the four major governing bodies in the

529
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: United States with the Supreme Court, Senate, and Presidency. So

530
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: like yeah, it's like the same thing with We've had

531
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: death cults before in the United States. We've never had

532
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: a death cult where the messiah is Trump, like with

533
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: Q and On, it's where the messiah is the president

534
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: of the United States. There's like a lot of unprecedented

535
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: things that I think could lead to unprecedented uh, you know,

536
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: fascism in the United States, where they just like grab

537
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: the power because they can or because there's they're scared

538
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: of losing it. I had a dream last night that

539
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: I was talking I think it was like at Starbucks

540
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: or something, and I was talking to someone and the

541
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: woman behind the counter said something um about Stalin and

542
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: about the direction the Democrats want to take this country,

543
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, well it's very clear to

544
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: me that we are opposed politically and blah blah blah.

545
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: And anyway, I ended up having this conversation with her

546
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: about like communism and fascism, and I woke up and

547
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: I was like, holy sh it, like my stupid Twitter

548
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: fights are invading my dream and I don't even get

549
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: a respite from it when I'm asleep. Yeah, no, it's uh,

550
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: and it's not going anywhere. That's why I wasn't on

551
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: Twitter today. I'm like, after watching the Social Dilemma, I'm like, yeah, right,

552
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: the only way I can actually rest control over this

553
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: thing is to disengage from the fucking like whatever. It's

554
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: like the ring of power, like it suddenly it's it's

555
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: like whispering to you, and you're like, fuck, let me

556
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: horor myself by opening it. And that's I think when

557
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: I started seeing like how I was like almost exhaling,

558
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: like I was about to lift weights before I opened

559
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: like a social media application, I was like, oh my god,

560
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: like I was, I was stealing myself to use an

561
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: application where I'm interacting, and I'm like, no, that's that's fun.

562
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: That's fucked right. Well, let's look at just how far

563
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: from the kind of down the middle democratic beliefs of

564
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: this country the Republicans have gone with the leading candidate

565
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: for Trump's Supreme Court pick, Amy Coney Barrett um. So.

566
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: She's affiliated with a type of Christianity, type of Catholicism

567
00:32:54,560 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: called the Charismatic Movement UM and specifically she come from

568
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: like a family, like a lineage that is heavily involved

569
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: in the People of Praise group. I think they said

570
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: her father and her husband's father were both like leaders

571
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: in this organization and they continue to be uh involved

572
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: in it. That also they're good, they're involved in the church, right,

573
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: so the people praise group. Uh. So they have heads

574
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: and handmaids. Um, this is actually the actual inspiration for

575
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: uh Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale. Like she had when the

576
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: New Yorker went and interviewed her, and she like showed

577
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: them some of the documents from when she was brainstorming

578
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: the Handmaid's Tale. Uh, she had an article about this

579
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: group underlined with like handmaids underlined. So, yeah, they have

580
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: a thing called heads and handmaids. They basically believe that

581
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: the husband is in charge of his wife. Uh, and

582
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: that likely there's like a mentorship system where people within

583
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: the group who are considered like leaders will dictate to

584
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: people who are like their charges, what what, who they're

585
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: allowed to date, what they're allowed to do, how they

586
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: have raised their children? Simplifies it. Um, Yeah, right, so

587
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: what's the problem. Sounds like she's a good Catholic woman. Yeah,

588
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: the church and is all about mentoring. Sadly, the names

589
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: are a little weird, and yeah, maybe it's tied to

590
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: some you know, fantastic novel. Uh well apparently after the show,

591
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: the book, sorry, after the book came out, they there

592
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: was too much pressure on the name. So they so

593
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: now instead of calling them heads and handmaids, they just

594
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: call them leaders. But we know what the names used

595
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: to be, right, yeah, right, I mean just like the

596
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 1: idea of this, right, I can't imagine what it looks

597
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: like during a information hearing when they're talking about so

598
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: in this group, you would follow people around and report

599
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: them for doing things that were untoward based on the

600
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: belief system of this group, yes, and then they could

601
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: be punished. Yeah, okay, um yeah. The former members quote

602
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: is they're very watchful of their people. They report things

603
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: to your heads if they see you out doing things

604
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be doing. It's very much a

605
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: big brother type of thing. Um, so party, right, yeah exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

606
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: So I was like, I don't like um Mrs Barrett

607
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: because she's like kind of a narc dude. Honestly, that's

608
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: kind of sucked up. I get your judge, but also

609
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: I guess, come on, this is some um raspute and

610
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: ship like the carrots. So I looked up the charismatic

611
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: Christian movement because I thought it just I thought it

612
00:35:54,680 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: meant like mega church. Um. But the speaking tongues, so

613
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: they believe in like the spiritual gifts, the terrorism or something,

614
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: which is like there's all these spiritual gifts and they

615
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: can do miracles. They believe in healing, so like laying

616
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: of hands. They speak in tongues, they do prophecy. They

617
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: and then there's some that are like less what the

618
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: funk about them? But still this is that's intense, Like

619
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: that's intense. If you heard, if you saw someone on

620
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: the corner who looked disheveled speaking in tongues, you would

621
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: steer clear of that person. But now we're going to

622
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: confirm them potentially to the Supreme Court. Um. But yeah,

623
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: when I say it's respute and ship, I just mean that,

624
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: like she doesn't I doubt she's making decisions on her own.

625
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: She's connected to this whole party that now is going

626
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: to be at the levers of power. This is not

627
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: separation of church and state at all. And also apparently

628
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: she like Diane Feinstein said something to her like the

629
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: some thing is strong in you or something lives loudly

630
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: within you. Yes, Amy Barrett claims she can separate the two.

631
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: But I'm I don't, I don't quite buy that I

632
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: wanted what they should do is like hook her up

633
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: to like a brain activity monitor, heart rate breathing monitor,

634
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: and then play the whap video on loop. See if

635
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: we'll know, we'll know, we'll know what's firing off when

636
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: she's she's watching that, or if she's like or if

637
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: Loki she's feeling it. Then they're like, I don't know,

638
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: she might be cool, this might she might be a

639
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: friend because her husband just sucks. But that's the other

640
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: thing too, is like what influence does would her husband

641
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: potentially have, Like she's already saying that she's in subscribe

642
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: to this belief where she is subordinate to her husband.

643
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: And then but but even then there were expected to believe.

644
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: It's like, well, we're not going to go that far

645
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: where I'm going to affect her work. I mean, yes,

646
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm her boss, and I tell her how to cut

647
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: her hair and what to wear and how to smell,

648
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: what to eat and when they eat and how many

649
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: times did you before swong? But I would never tell

650
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: her how to you know, decide on a case with

651
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: something to do? Is like in you know, I don't

652
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: care like abortion whatever, I don't care like that's her

653
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: the funk out of here. That's like, this is it

654
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: really is. It's just it's it's it's unnerving, and it's

655
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: just so bizary that we're looking at somebody that makes

656
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: like a Bret having ill look like Ibram x Kendy

657
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: or some ship like the most woke do it on

658
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: the plane. You're like what, but um, yes, this is

659
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: but these are the kinds of people you need. Because

660
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: also the other benefit to having her she's only forty eight,

661
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: so she could serve for a hot minute, like for

662
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: a while. Um. And that's why I think, Yeah, we're

663
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: just having to keep our eye out. And that's why

664
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: it again, it's this is how the consequences of this

665
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: decision could could have, you know, echo for generations, depending

666
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: on how uh Democrats respond, if they're able to completely

667
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: uh come to power. Alright, let's briefly talk about the

668
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: grim Aisle Stone, as I think it'll be called in

669
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: every headline in every major newspaper that America just crossed

670
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: with two hundred thousand dead from the coronavirus. It's brutal.

671
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: It didn't have to be this way, Um, and yeah,

672
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: I just go back to that article uh that I

673
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: talked about from where they looked at the coronavirus outbreak

674
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: and pandemic like it was an airplane airline crash and

675
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, did uh did the black box recovery on it?

676
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: And we're just like, yeah, this is basically all pilot error.

677
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: This is all uh, you know, mistakes, Like there were

678
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: systems in place to help deal with this and that

679
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: would have stopped this, and instead we had a pilot

680
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: who was actively you know, doing the opposite of what

681
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: the protocols uh tell you to do. Mm hmm yeah.

682
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: And people like aren't you know if like Trump supporters

683
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: when you say this could have been avoided, and you know,

684
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: you have these like really seemingly sound debates or discussions

685
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: or arguments about like this is where they were negligent,

686
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: This is where they missed an opportunity. This was also

687
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: a missed opportunity. This is the quote to back it up,

688
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: uh that the pivot is just two oh, well it

689
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: doesn't exist and it's actually not that bad. Um. And

690
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: that's that's what's also frightening too, because I think even

691
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: if they don't think it's not that bad there are

692
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: so many people that have Even if you don't know,

693
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: if you don't know someone personally that lost their life,

694
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: your life has been affected by this tremendously because of

695
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: how this was mishandled. Like I have two family members

696
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: that passed away in Japan that I have not been

697
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 1: able to go and mourn their deaths because I can't travel,

698
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,479
Speaker 1: And I know so many other people who have either

699
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: braved cross country travel, international travel despite that, because we

700
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: just there are certain things we're trying to do. But

701
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, because the leader ship

702
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: has been so awful, you know, we've only just managed

703
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: to exacerbate this to a point where like we honestly

704
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: don't think we could have even imagined. What drives me

705
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: batty are the people who try to spin it like

706
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: two d thousand really isn't that much, you know, um,

707
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: the number of like it's really since a small percentage

708
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: and we're going to change our whole way of life

709
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: just over this, you know, tiny percentage. And it's like

710
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: we changed our whole way of life after nine eleven

711
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: and that was far fewer people. This is sixty seven

712
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: nine elevens in terms of death toll. Yeah, Trump just

713
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: gave a speech where he was where he talked about

714
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: how nobody, nobody knows anybody. It barely affected anybody. And yeah,

715
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's again the bipartisan playbook for leadership in

716
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: a pandemic that like everybody agreed on ahead of this

717
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: one is slow, steady repetition of the same talking points

718
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: of like the facts that everybody agrees on on grant

719
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: your seal of approval to a scientist and keep supporting them,

720
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: don't insert yourself, like, don't put yourself out front, and

721
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: like he did everything the opposite of that, to the

722
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: point that that sounds like I was just like writing

723
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: that up as a contradiction like everything he did, but

724
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: that that was the playbook before and he completely disregarded everything.

725
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: And then the Woodward stuff that came because before it

726
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: was like, oh, he's just up, huge idiot, and then

727
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: the woodwords stuff came out and it's like, no, he

728
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: he knew what he was. He knew the truth. Um,

729
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: and now it's less than Uh. Most Americans are wary

730
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: of the of the vaccine to the point that they

731
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: won't get the They say they won't get the first uh,

732
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: the first vaccine because you know, people on the left

733
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: are wary of it because Trump has like attached his

734
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: name to it and also uh, you know, has made

735
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: it there just they're just ramming something through to for

736
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: his political purposes. Um. And you know, people on the

737
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: right don't think it's real. I guess so, and also

738
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: are anti exers. I mean just you know, there are

739
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: a lot of articles trying to put into perspective numerically

740
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: what two hundred thousand deaths is, and it's, you know,

741
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: on the smaller scale, it's the number of people who

742
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: have died from heart disease over a sixteen week period,

743
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: or the estimated people who have passed away from cancer

744
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: in a seventeen week period. Um. But then you start

745
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: getting down into it, it's fifty five years worth of

746
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: deaths in fires at the current US you know, death

747
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: rate in terms of structural fires, it's seventeen hundred years

748
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: of Afghanistan War fatalities. It's fucking twenty eight battles of Gettysburg's.

749
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: It's eight d days worth of dead people. It's fucking

750
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: fifty thousand Benghazis worth of dead Americans. And I think

751
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: that's what's even really, you know, that's just how you know, again,

752
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: these people nothing. What they say is actually what they believe.

753
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: The endgame is always just about to cause as much,

754
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, just to re establish the facto white supremacy

755
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: in whatever way they can get away with. And that's

756
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: the bottom line. Because I guarantee you if the numbers

757
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: look differently and a majority of the COVID fatalities were

758
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: white Americans, uh, I think there would be some alarms

759
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: going up more. But unfortunately it's people of color that

760
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: are bearing the brunt of a lot of the fatalities. So,

761
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's just pretend it's it's something that

762
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: people we don't know get. And also if it happened

763
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: under a Democratic president, he would you'd never stop. I mean,

764
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: you're we're still hearing about h one and one. Yeah, exactly.

765
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: That's why I think anything that like a Republican says

766
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: after this presidency is just slute bullshit, Like there's nothing.

767
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: It's like you completely showed, you've you've revealed yourself to

768
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: be a fucking spooky ghost, spooky racist ghost, hateful motherfucker.

769
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: So anything, don't complain to me about whatever you think

770
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: ex president did because you were fucking your front row

771
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: at the Hate Show, Uh, screaming your ass off, and like,

772
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: don't the the idea that there is anything they could

773
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: be outraged? I think it is just preposterous. M hm um,

774
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: But what about our emails? All right, let's take a

775
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.

776
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: So General Mills has this new promotion that they're doing

777
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: where I'll just read from the announcement. General Mills is

778
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: bringing back the taste in shapes that ruled your Saturday

779
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: mornings in the eighties. Coco Puffs is bringing more chocolate.

780
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: So basically like they're saying, we're going back to the

781
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: original recipe. They're doing like a new coke, back to

782
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: Coca Cola classic on Cocoa Puffs, cookie crisp tricks and

783
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: Golden Grams, and on Golden Grams that are like honey

784
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: is back, which so corn syrup is out. So apparently

785
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: they changed the recipes on these products without telling people.

786
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't think people realized that they you know, they

787
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: didn't do the Dominoes thing where they were like, sorry,

788
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: our food sucked for so long. Please, uh, except this

789
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: new food. And I don't know, it's just interesting to

790
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: me to think like, are there other products like McDonald's

791
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: famously changed the recipe on their French fries, like they

792
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: fried it in a different type of oil. Now, oh yeah,

793
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: it's not beat well you used have beef. Yeah, yeah,

794
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: so now it's I think more of a vegetable oil.

795
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people who claim that it's

796
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: much worse than I don't know. There there's also the

797
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: type of banana wheat today are completely different from the

798
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: types that made bananas popular in the first place. Uh.

799
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: In the like forties and fifties, bananas were supposedly a

800
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: more sturdy and tasty version called the big mic and

801
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: then something called Panama disease came through and wiped all

802
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: those out that, yeah, exactly, and they had to replace

803
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 1: it with what we have now, which is the Caven

804
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: dish banana, uh, which is yeah, that's like an apple

805
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: ass name, the Caven dish. Like that sounds like a yeah,

806
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: that's like Macintosh. That's come on, banana industry should go

807
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: like excavate some um big mic seed and bring it

808
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: back and branded in the same way the Cereal company has.

809
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: Because it sounds like we've never had a banana the

810
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: way we're supposed to have a banana. I think that

811
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: this Doing a little bit of research on this made

812
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: me think that bananas are a real growth industry because,

813
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: first of all, bananas are the most popular food in America.

814
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: Like they're the food that is eaten more than any

815
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: other food in the country, I think, just by like mass.

816
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: But also we only have the one type, whereas with

817
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: apples and everything else, with grapes, we have all these

818
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: different types that you can use, and then bananas this

819
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: just one type of bananas. Yeah, Caven dish, I think

820
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: I feel like very specifically. I know you think pepsi

821
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: hits differently Jack now, but I think caffeine free diet

822
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: pepsi in the gold can that she doesn't hit the same,

823
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: That doesn't hit the same, Not since the night, not

824
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: since the ninety shout out to my friend's grandma, wonderful

825
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: Scottish got you onto that, Yes, Nana, she was a

826
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: She was smoker cigarettes and drink her caffeine free diet

827
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: pepsi And like I was like, what the what is

828
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: she on about? Because I didn't have soda in my house,

829
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: so I would drink it and it was fucking I

830
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: don't know if it was a gold can, but I

831
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: still remember having it like maybe two years ago, and

832
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: it just was fucking It was not right. There was

833
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: something slightly off, and it could just be that my

834
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: taste buzzer are completely different. But I like to think

835
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a diet diet caffeine free pepsi truth

836
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: pepsi or coke is pepsi in the gold can too.

837
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 1: Pepsi was in the gold can as well. Diet caffeine

838
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: pepsi was in the gold Yeah. Yeah, I was saying

839
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: that I feel like pepsi used to be more delicious,

840
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: but that also might be me just like as a

841
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: kid wanting a massive like amount of sugar just dumped

842
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: into my because that's like the thing with Pepsi's like sweeter,

843
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: which is why it wins the taste tests. If you're

844
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: just having like a sip of it, it's better. But

845
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: if you're trying to drink a whole can, if you're

846
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: not a kid who's just like, take my DA, give

847
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: me all the sugar. This whole segment sounds like we're

848
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 1: in the year twenty forty where none of this ship

849
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: exists anymore, and we're just like yeah, man, remember pepsi

850
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: Banana's brother. I didn't know that pepsi was sweeter. I

851
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 1: think of myself as someone who prefers, well, I prefer

852
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: a clear diet soda like uh Sierra Missed or Diet

853
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: seven up or diet Sprite. That's actually what I reached for.

854
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: And the reason is because I had clear braces back

855
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: when those were all the rage and the braces themselves

856
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: were a porcelain, but the rubber bands would get stained

857
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: from diet coke. So that is I used to prefer

858
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: diet coke, but I switched at that point to the

859
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: clear ones, and then that has my My love of

860
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: those has stayed the whole time. But you know, at

861
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: like a back in the day, when we left the

862
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: house at a restaurant or something, I would always order

863
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: a diet coke and they says, diet pepsi okay, and

864
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: it was, but I preferred, I prefer diet coke. So yeah,

865
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: I was unaware that pepsi is sweeter. I I will say, no,

866
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: I'll just have a regular pepsi if it's between diet pepsi.

867
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: If if I ask if for a diet coke and

868
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: they're like nose, diet pepsi. Okay, I'll just have a

869
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: regular pepsi. I do not like diet pepsi. You'll be like, well,

870
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 1: I'm calling the police, now speak your manager. Do you

871
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 1: think for these Cereals going back to their retro version

872
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: was like their nuclear option, They're like, in case of emergency,

873
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: brake glass because you're right. By doing it, they're admitting

874
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: that they were using these kind of bullshit ingredients all

875
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: along and they hadn't told us. Yeah. I think, I

876
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: think maybe, or it's just a miscalculated like going back

877
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: to like trying to play on people's nostalgia. It's part

878
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: of this thing they're doing where they're doing like a

879
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: drive through event at the Rose Bowl with hosted by

880
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: a C. Slater um Mario. Yeah, where they're going to

881
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: like watch Saturday Morning cartoons and like give out bowls

882
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: of old school cereal. Um wow. It's interesting if you

883
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: think who they're targeting, Like they're not targeting the sugary

884
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: cereal kids us. Yeah, it's because junk food is like

885
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: king in the pandemic. Now. Yeah, we were talking our

886
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: writer JM was pointing out, like all these pandemic specific

887
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: ad campaigns like Coke and Pepsi both launch specialty cans

888
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 1: to celebrate and thank healthcare workers. How about you donate

889
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: some fucking money, right, Yeah, because stupid? Can you know

890
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: they'd really like some ppe? Yeah. And also, sugary beverages

891
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: are like a major cause of obesity in America, and

892
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: obesity is like a major risk factor for COVID. I

893
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: think it's forty percent. People who are obese are forty

894
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 1: eight percent more likely to die from COVID. So it's

895
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: just kind of a weird look on their part. Well,

896
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, you got you gotta you gotta make money

897
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: to you know. That's like that's the thing which is

898
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: so funny that part of it. It's like sort of

899
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: like feel good. But then it's like like it's feel good,

900
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: we can make some money and we don't look like

901
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 1: total ship for like sucking up all the world's water.

902
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: Let's just do that. Hines called their workers keeping America's

903
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: catch up supply flowing everyday heroes. Uh, and the tagline

904
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: on the ad was we got you America. Um. And meanwhile,

905
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: they were called out by workers for poor factory conditions

906
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: after the pandemics started, and they were still encouraging people

907
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 1: to come into work while sick. It's such a weird response.

908
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: It just feels really exploitative to me. I mean every

909
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: company had the same exact response when the pandemic started.

910
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: They because you couldn't distinguish one ad from the other.

911
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: It was all the same b roll from a stock

912
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: footage house of like people being at home with their kids,

913
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: and then you know, just piano music was really in

914
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: these times. It's like everything when you guys email someone,

915
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 1: like what do you say? Because I would, I would

916
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: say like hope you're you know well, parenthesis as well

917
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: as well as well as can be expected. I don't

918
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: even know what to say anymore. Yeah, I just don't

919
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: email people. That's I disappeared off the grid. I don't know.

920
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: I think I signed off with a pleasantry because I

921
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: feel like starting off, it's like we get it, dude.

922
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: Every every every everything f sucks. Like I was joking

923
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: yesterday with our guests before we were like when we

924
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: started recording, I was like, how are you, Caitlin? And

925
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: then we were both like what the funny? I was like,

926
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: you're breathing part good? Great, Let's we'll keep it there,

927
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 1: like we'll focus on the things that are like great.

928
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's such a difficult question because you know,

929
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: there was that even that study that said how much

930
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: of an effect this the pandemic and media coverage has

931
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: had on like the American psyche and people's sense of

932
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: well being and how it's gotten like so many people

933
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: in a depressive state. Um, it's yeah, so like it.

934
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: It's it were even robbed of being able to like

935
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: we're all just like emo teens where we'd barely be like, hey,

936
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: it asked to be born, especially now exactly Burger King,

937
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: by the way, I encourage people to be couch potatriots,

938
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: fuck off and stay home of the whopper. Uh so

939
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: some companies got it right, is what I'm saying. Okay,

940
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: catch protatriots actually makes me smile a tiny but I mean, like,

941
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of clever. But but funck

942
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: them anyway. I'm not yeah, I'm not. Look, I'm not

943
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna lie I snickeredt but U in this context, you're like, god,

944
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: it's so funny, like and then I feel bad. I'm like,

945
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: yeah that that made me laugh at the thing that

946
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: killed two people, because I think that's sort of the

947
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: bottom line is too. Which is weird is that even

948
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: like when you have big you know, burger king sombreros

949
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: that keep people six ft apart or whatever that are

950
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: like fun to look at and are easy like social

951
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: media fodder, like it's still like born out of it's

952
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: all set with this terribly dark backdrop, um, and it's

953
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: just sort of like, yeah, I guess this is like

954
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: the little weird dark shred of happiness that it's very

955
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: it's very dysturbing. The giant social distancing burger king crown

956
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: sombreros is really dark. There's like a doz a Key's

957
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: cooler that's six ft apart. They noticed they like sees

958
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: onto the one detail that's like easy to get your

959
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: mind around, and that is, of course the thing that

960
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: turns out to not necessarily be true that Oreo did

961
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: a thing where it's like eat your Oreos without using

962
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: your hands, because that's a that's a way to because

963
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: hands are dirty, I guess. But obviously obviously eating things

964
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: like off the table is probably not like a more

965
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: sanitary way of doing it. There's also some really fucked

966
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: up stuff with baby formula companies and the way that

967
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: they are advertising as like a more healthy way of

968
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: feeding your baby during the pandemic, like there was in Vietnam.

969
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: One company photoshop to face mask onto a baby and also,

970
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: uh photoshop the baby giving a thumbs up the discerning

971
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: baby who is cares about safety right? Another Vietnamese company

972
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: advertised its formula not with picture of a baby, but

973
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: with a giant photo of the Director General of the

974
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: World Health Organization. Uh, because they're like this is and

975
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: it yeah again it's there. There's a long history of

976
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: companies that produce formula trying to convince people that formula

977
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: is the healthier, more sanitary option than breast milk, even

978
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: though doctors and experts claim that's not the case. So

979
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't really understand what they're suggesting. Are they suggesting

980
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: that breastfeeding your baby could pass them COVID or just

981
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: the like they're just the skin to skin contact is

982
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: unsafe because it's like gross or something. I don't know.

983
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I mean, if it was like someone

984
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: else breastfeed your baby, I could understand. Okay, maybe not

985
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: right now, but if you're the one breastfeeding your baby, yeah,

986
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just seems like it's of a

987
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: piece with this wider genre of formula companies that make

988
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: formula doing shady stuff to imply that this is actually

989
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: the clean, healthy way of doing right. Yeah, it's yeah great.

990
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: I think just like this is like association. Just by association,

991
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: it's better. It's like yeah, yeah. At a certain point,

992
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: be like, oh wow, this breast milk container has like

993
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: a sick as lambo on it. Maybe kid would be

994
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: like successful and drivel lambriga. Know it's like he just

995
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: make someone feel good. So you're like, yeah, fuck it.

996
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: I know one probably doesn't have anything to do with

997
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: the other, but yeah, you did it. There was also

998
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: the Pepsi slapped its logo on a sign for a

999
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen testing site and a Walmart parking lot. I

1000
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: think that was my favorite example. It was eventually taken

1001
00:59:52,800 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: down after the yeah quote dystopian hell that it COVID

1002
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: nine tests, the COVID nineteen testing right now. Oh god, Alison,

1020
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: and the joke is going to be Quimby is like

1021
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: quick bite, so it's like short content, and a Quabbi

1022
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: is going to be like an entire movie that is

1023
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: delivered all at once. So when you play your quabby

01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I was able to muster the energy to cast my

1042
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: gaze upon this cursed device, uh, to get one good tweet.

1043
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: It is from Eve Donnally, which is actually Dana Donaldy's

1049
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,720

Speaker 1: they named their show that uh late, their show about

1051
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:01,320

01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: was this a little old, but uh really made me laugh.

1053
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: It was in response to the tweet where somebody was

1054
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: like imagining Ruth Bader Ginsberg meeting up with Chadwick Boseman, Yeah,

01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: heaven as he gives her a peck on the cheek.

01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Scalia is there next to Prince who is his best friend.

1069
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: This is a little remix only on SoundCloud though, because

1070
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, some of these mashups, the record labels don't

1071
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: like them because people are using their artistic license to

1072
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: express themselves. But I find them fantastic. This is a

1073
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: remix of the ny r D track Lemon, but it

1074
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: has like a funk disco vibe to it, so it

1075
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: hits completely different. And I know it's Wednesday, so it's
