Speaker 2: time I did that.
Speaker 4: So you didn't have to say I will DM.
Speaker 1: Me or plugs? Is that a? Is that a because
Speaker 1: you've talked about butt plugs before on previous appearances. Is
Speaker 1: that what we're referring to when we say DM me
Speaker 1: your plugs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a fascination. One of my main characters is
Speaker 4: Gary the butt plug. But like every day I will
Speaker 4: get DM or a message like I saw this out
Speaker 4: in the wild and it's just like a street cone
Speaker 4: that looks like a butt plug. Don't like, don't some
Speaker 4: of your toys send me like obscure plugs?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to clarify for you.
Speaker 2: You see like spaces and buildings and they were like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's like a building that's smiling, and they said to
Speaker 2: each each other, but it's like that with but with
Speaker 2: butt plugs, which exactly would make you smile more. Honestly,
Speaker 2: I just love.
Speaker 4: The thought, like when people see like something that's plug shaped,
Speaker 4: they think of me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm always like texting people being like does this
Speaker 1: does this building look like my mom? Doesn't? Doesn't it
Speaker 1: seem like it's mad at me? Like do you do
Speaker 1: anybody else see that? They're like, no, leave me alone.
Speaker 2: My dog barked when you said, does this building look
Speaker 2: like my mom? So he doesn't want to know.
Speaker 1: Is that okay? Yeah? Yeah, most people do well, Kim.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our
Speaker 1: listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about ras Musin polls. Rass Musin. It is
Speaker 1: like a slithering ass name, like it sounds Rasputin. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like ras Putin, but not as cool the Musa.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it could be like a musinex type thing,
Speaker 1: but also like an evil house in Hogwarts. Anyways, they
Speaker 1: are their polls are Nazi trash, but they keep cropping
Speaker 1: up in the news. So we just wanted to kind
Speaker 1: of give people a history of rest muse and polling
Speaker 1: on where you've seen their work before. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about Michigan Republicans still want to jail unmarried couples
Speaker 1: living together in sin That's still a law that's on
Speaker 1: the books and in a lot of places. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna look at some of those. There's one in North
Speaker 1: Carolina that wants to jail or arrest unmarried man and
Speaker 1: woman who decide to ludely and lasciviously associate bed and
Speaker 1: cohabitate together. That's my North Carolina accent. I guess I
Speaker 1: do declare, but you can just like smell the horrifying
Speaker 1: room that this was written in in like eighteen oh five.
Speaker 1: So I'll talk about, yeah, exactly when they were called senator.
Speaker 2: Yeah, founding fathers.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly. We were much fonder of them back then.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Twitter's Blue check purge, which went well.
Speaker 1: It seemed like it went well, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, I lost mine and I feel free.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I will. We'll get your man on the
Speaker 1: street like perspective, Woman on the street perspective of what
Speaker 1: that was like. There's some good news in Parkinson's research.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that plenty more. But first, Kim,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history?
Speaker 4: How to get crows to leave you gifts?
Speaker 2: What I love crows.
Speaker 1: We have so.
Speaker 4: Many crows in our neighborhood, in our backyard. We fed
Speaker 4: them for years just like whatever leftover like tortillas or
Speaker 4: bread we have, and they left me like the small
Speaker 4: little jewel from it had to be like a cheat
Speaker 4: and necklace.
Speaker 1: So but the crows don't know it's cheap. The crows
Speaker 1: are like, damn her, are you sure?
Speaker 2: She's like this is like your parents getting you a
Speaker 2: presence and you're like, thinks guys.
Speaker 4: So they left us that and then they they went
Speaker 4: way downhill. Then they came back and left me a stick,
Speaker 4: and it's okay.
Speaker 2: That's that's a big deal to crows, part of their home,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I guess, but like you,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a load bearing stick.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that stick goes on the refrigerator like it's going
Speaker 4: to be Did.
Speaker 1: The stick look like a plug? Though? That's the question
Speaker 1: that how well, yeah, well they fucked up then. I
Speaker 1: know we have a big crow audience. But like they
Speaker 1: need to let their crow friends know.
Speaker 2: Anything could be a plug. If you really think about the.
Speaker 4: Worst they you wouldn't even know. It's like it's, uh,
Speaker 4: what is it like tricycles with training wheels. That's kind
Speaker 4: of the plug they left me that kind of way.
Speaker 2: Are crow butts shaped? Like maybe it works for their butts,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: They forever?
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe it's a perfect plug for their kloak. Yeah,
Speaker 2: here you used my My dogs keep like they look
Speaker 2: like they're about to bark at the crows on my street,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, no, we need them on our side.
Speaker 2: Don't do not anger the crows.
Speaker 1: There are friends, they're smart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: So they left me those two gifts, and then now
Speaker 4: that we like receive them, I want more, but I
Speaker 4: don't know how to go about, Like some people were
Speaker 4: suggesting leaving coins on the little table that we put
Speaker 4: the bread on, or giving them kibble and water. I'm
Speaker 4: just trying to look at more tricks so I can
Speaker 4: like get my horde of fake jewels and sticks and
Speaker 4: then I have my army.
Speaker 1: Yeah, murder, your murder.
Speaker 2: Yeah murder. You're like the queen of dragons. But with crows,
Speaker 2: I'll take it.
Speaker 1: It would be the best animal I think to have,
Speaker 1: like a group of that kind of did your bidding
Speaker 1: because I guess monkeys, but then crows.
Speaker 4: Monkeys are funny, Crows can be menacing.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you don't want to people saying people would
Speaker 2: do not want to anger crows, like they remember shit,
Speaker 2: they're very smart.
Speaker 4: Yeah up to two years. That's what I read in
Speaker 4: my research, Like they'll hold a grudge for two years.
Speaker 4: But then they also remember people's faces. And it makes
Speaker 4: sense because I'll go on runs around my neighborhood and
Speaker 4: I seriously have two or three crows that follow me
Speaker 4: my entire run. It's like, guys, I don't have bread
Speaker 4: on me, right now.
Speaker 1: That's so cool.
Speaker 2: You're just running and there's like crows just like I mean,
Speaker 2: you must be so safe on yours.
Speaker 4: Sense why our neighbors don't talk talk to me? Yeah
Speaker 4: down the street.
Speaker 2: I also like that they're better than Hollywood types, Like
Speaker 2: they remember faces. That's really sweet, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they actually remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah yeah we met at that thing, right,
Speaker 2: that was.
Speaker 1: So the ultimate goal is to just have just a
Speaker 1: a storm of crows following you around, just like blotting
Speaker 1: out the sun everywhere you.
Speaker 4: Go, exactly shitting on cars. I don't like, like a tesla.
Speaker 4: There a tesla over there?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Nice, you know, I love it. They They will
Speaker 1: like sometimes just make make it rain like sticks and
Speaker 1: like we we have a murder that is has made
Speaker 1: our neighborhood their home, and like sometimes like one of
Speaker 1: our neighbors was like, yeah, I thought it was raining
Speaker 1: and it turned out like the crows were just like
Speaker 1: dropping sticks and ship on our house.
Speaker 2: That's like cool. That's like when the US military just
Speaker 2: like goes and rops like packets of ship everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do wonder if it's like when a cat
Speaker 1: will bring you like a half dead mouse and they
Speaker 1: like want to see if you'll finish it or like
Speaker 1: eat the mouse, like they're terrifying. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: they want to see how much they can respect you,
Speaker 1: Like I want. I wonder how how closely they're monitoring
Speaker 1: what you did with the stick.
Speaker 2: They're like, stick it in your butt?
Speaker 1: Do it?
Speaker 2: Do it for us?
Speaker 4: They first they thought I was poor, which is correct,
Speaker 4: and then it's like your house is ship here, you
Speaker 4: go here.
Speaker 1: Maybe do something with this. I don't know. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: is uh? What is something that you think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Basil plants the kind that you buy in the grocery store.
Speaker 4: Those are so overrated and I hate buying them because
Speaker 4: then I feel obligated to keep it alive when I
Speaker 4: just want to kill it. Anyways, Oh my god, basil
Speaker 4: a lot in my cooking. But then like they give
Speaker 4: you the little soil and then you have the stems
Speaker 4: and it's sad. But it just feels so wasteful because
Speaker 4: nine times out of ten dies almost immediately.
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, I've never I don't think I've ever
Speaker 1: bought one of the ones that's in soil. It seems
Speaker 1: like too much of a commitment for seems like like
Speaker 1: a real step up from you know, I'm I'm spice
Speaker 1: shopping and they're like here, how about a lifelong commitment
Speaker 1: to Uh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how I feel. But I can't just find
Speaker 4: them in bunches anymore, not like time or rosemary. It
Speaker 4: it has to all be in the soil. Maybe it's
Speaker 4: the stores that I'm by, but I can't find just
Speaker 4: already massacred plants for my benefits.
Speaker 2: That's what you need from the rows is get them
Speaker 2: to train them to bring you basil. Yeah, but see also,
Speaker 2: like how long does it take for like a leaf
Speaker 2: to grow? Because if you like use all your basil
Speaker 2: leafs off your plant and then the next day you're like, well,
Speaker 2: I have to wait like another three months or something.
Speaker 1: Me and this basil plant aren't on the same schedule.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems like exactly, I have like three right
Speaker 4: now in my kitchen, just like sitting in cups. So
Speaker 4: I'm hopefully like rotating between all three so it can grow,
Speaker 4: and then I torture it by pulling off its appendages,
Speaker 4: and then I do it to the other one.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm with great glee.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very great glee.
Speaker 1: I do love the idea, and I think all grocery
Speaker 1: outlets should start adopting this terminology that all produced besides
Speaker 1: the basil plants are pre massacreg Like this is our
Speaker 1: pre massa urge plant section of the grocery store. That's fun.
Speaker 4: The dead don't go to the meat section.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and do they let you come into the grocery
Speaker 1: store with the crows or do they make the crows
Speaker 1: sit wait outside in the park.
Speaker 4: They wait, They wait outside for me. But they helped
Speaker 4: me carry the bags to the car, like they're very helpful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bring me the pre massacred bananas. Yeah, that rules.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Uh?
Speaker 4: Kitch? I think like aesthetics is such a big thing nowadays.
Speaker 4: Everyone wants like a mood or a vibe where I
Speaker 4: kind of miss just going in and seeing random cute,
Speaker 4: quirky things. And it doesn't necessarily have to fit a
Speaker 4: whole idea.
Speaker 2: Okay, I love that I feel like people's homes are
Speaker 2: so like lacking and vibrancy, Like they're so like gray
Speaker 2: and dull, and I feel like it's not good for
Speaker 2: like children's development with like their color and like the
Speaker 2: shapes and things that they need to you know, be around,
Speaker 2: because everybody's like, oh, we're gonna be minimalist and fucking dull,
Speaker 2: and it's like that it doesn't feel lived in like
Speaker 2: any of these homes, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. There's actually a phrase I heard. I want
Speaker 4: to say it was on TikTok or Reddit, but millennial Gray, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: A thing Millennial Gray, Kim and Kanye is. Yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because we like that's the only thing we
Speaker 2: feel like we can control. I guess it's.
Speaker 4: A calm, neutral environment where it's like it's so understimulating.
Speaker 4: I want, I want something fun and cute. It doesn't
Speaker 4: have to be everywhere. But like, I think people are
Speaker 4: more afraid to go kitchy because they don't want to
Speaker 4: be deemed odd, you know.
Speaker 2: I think also like it's bad for sustainability for people
Speaker 2: to like buy all these like specific things that fit
Speaker 2: one style rather than like reusing stuff or like, you know,
Speaker 2: buying things that just like are functional and not worrying
Speaker 2: about the aesthetic as much.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I so I have to. I'm recording
Speaker 1: this on my wife's computer because my computers just stop
Speaker 1: working on turning on this morning. I misheard. I don't
Speaker 1: think I have the recording setup right. And I misheard
Speaker 1: what you said as hitch the Will Smith film.
Speaker 2: I also heard that too.
Speaker 1: I thought I was how you were going to bring
Speaker 1: this back around with the Will Smith film hitch until
Speaker 1: you said kitchy. And now I'm now now I got you.
Speaker 4: Hitch is kind of kitch.
Speaker 2: It is Pitch is kitch and anytime you have Paul
Speaker 2: Blart in a movie, that's a little bit of kitch, right.
Speaker 1: How how to get Paul Blart laid is basically the
Speaker 1: log line what if Paul Blart wanted to have sex? Like?
Speaker 1: What if?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: What would that be? Like? Yeah, there's there is a
Speaker 1: whole movement in child rearing that I think goes back
Speaker 1: a long time. I don't think it's super recent. But
Speaker 1: there's like a school I think it's called the Waldorf School,
Speaker 1: but I know there is a Waldorf school. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure this is the one. But it's like you don't,
Speaker 1: like you can't have toys that have color like your children.
Speaker 2: I think I remember that, like they have like very
Speaker 2: minimalist toys. That's like so bad for children's development. Like
Speaker 2: that is there's a reason that thing like places and
Speaker 2: play things are all for kids are all like all
Speaker 2: different colors and shapes and yeah, you know, like it's
Speaker 2: because they're very tactile and visual and they develop in
Speaker 2: a certain way, like their brains are like trying to
Speaker 2: figure stuff out right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think there there's something about like when
Speaker 1: you watch some of the YouTube videos that have just
Speaker 1: an impot like one hundred billion views and it's like
Speaker 1: just cartoons that people put their children in front of,
Speaker 1: and like developmental like child development experts are like this
Speaker 1: is bad because it's just like just cramming as many
Speaker 1: noises and sounds and things into children's you know, sensory
Speaker 1: receptors as they possibly can get in there. Like I
Speaker 1: think there's something there but to be like and therefore
Speaker 1: you don't get to get to see colors. It seems
Speaker 1: like a weird like overstep of the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: the parents who go there, oh man, they they think
Speaker 1: you're they're better than you.
Speaker 2: Isn't the waldark That reminds me of like the arrested
Speaker 2: development school, where children should either be seen or heard.
Speaker 1: But I love some kitch. Do you do? Like the
Speaker 1: flea markets?
Speaker 4: And I haven't been to like the big flea market
Speaker 4: that's I think it's Slung Beach or South of l A. Like,
Speaker 4: I know there's a big one. I haven't been to that,
Speaker 4: But I do go to a lot of consignment stores
Speaker 4: and thrift stores.
Speaker 1: Thrift stores was the word I was looking for, and
Speaker 1: I came up with flea market. I'm old. My computer
Speaker 1: stopped working today.
Speaker 4: You know, it's Monday.
Speaker 2: You're having a millennial gray Monday.
Speaker 1: That's what I'll call it to make myself sound young,
Speaker 1: And it's just the millennial gray of my aging brain.
Speaker 2: My favorite place to shop is on the sidewalks where
Speaker 2: everybody throws out their furniture, anything that doesn't have carpeting
Speaker 2: or soft stuff that could have bed bugs. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I probably need another lamp, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's so many lamps. Yeah yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about polling another bullshit and We're back and rasp musin
Speaker 1: dun dun dun so. Breitbart is reporting that one in
Speaker 1: three Americans strongly support the transphobic bud Light boycott. This
Speaker 1: is based on it. You might if you pay attention
Speaker 1: to poles, you might be confused because you know, obviously
Speaker 1: there's a lot of transphobia in the country, but that
Speaker 1: number is super high. And you know, there was also
Speaker 1: a recent poll that found that two thirds of Americans
Speaker 1: are against laws that would limit transgender rights, which would
Speaker 1: mean that there are millions of people who want to
Speaker 1: protect trans rights but also support kid rock tearfully like
Speaker 1: humping shotgun rounds into a case of beer out of sheer,
Speaker 1: like impotent bigotry. Just it seems like it strains credulity
Speaker 1: a little bit that both these poles can be correct.
Speaker 2: So I feel like the rest muse pole you said
Speaker 2: it was all bright BARTI and nazi like, right, So
Speaker 2: they probably are only polling people they think are people,
Speaker 2: which are white people like they probably are not like
Speaker 2: sis white, you know.
Speaker 1: I know when they first kicked off, the way they
Speaker 1: worked was by just doing landline robopolling, so like that
Speaker 1: that is a very specific demographic of old people who
Speaker 1: pick up their land line.
Speaker 4: I don't know anyone under forty five that picks up
Speaker 4: their phone if they don't know the number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was actually during the Trump administration that they
Speaker 1: were still using land line pulling, so pretty pretty specific
Speaker 1: demographic and like there was like a dumb, weird part
Speaker 1: of me that always wanted to pay attention to Trump's
Speaker 1: approval rating to just like be hope that like, ah,
Speaker 1: the country's finally figured it out. He's he's an idiot.
Speaker 1: But the RAS muse in pulling was always it was
Speaker 1: like ten points higher than everyone else, like it'd be like, nope,
Speaker 1: he's the most popular president ever, it turns out, but
Speaker 1: they use manipulative techniques in order to serve up right
Speaker 1: wing friendly poll results. One example of this is when
Speaker 1: Scott Adams had his racist rant that claimed that black
Speaker 1: people of all types are a heat group. A muse
Speaker 1: some poll as evidence, and the polling question surveyed people
Speaker 1: and asked them if they agreed or disagreed with the
Speaker 1: statement It's okay to be white, which is like a
Speaker 1: long term Nazi like for the past twenty years, like
Speaker 1: white supremacists have been using that as like a thing
Speaker 1: to be, like, oh, you don't think it's okay to
Speaker 1: be what?
Speaker 2: They are like, they're like, what is a woman?
Speaker 1: Thing? Yeah?
Speaker 2: They stick to like three arguments. They're like, don't like you.
Speaker 2: There are only two pronouns. My pronouns are kick your
Speaker 2: ass or whatever?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like what is a woman?
Speaker 2: And now they're making my child cry because it's not
Speaker 2: okay to be white?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, so they this has been a loaded phrase,
Speaker 1: it's okay to be white as a loaded phrase that's
Speaker 1: been used for decades by white supremacists to provoke liberals
Speaker 1: into condemning the statement and then be like what it's like.
Speaker 1: It's like being the equivalent of being like why is
Speaker 1: there no white entertainment television?
Speaker 2: If there's you know, like it's gonna be the theme
Speaker 2: of the next Dilbert is like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like why, you know, why can't I scream
Speaker 1: white lives matter at someone who says black lives matter? What?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with it? It's like you're that Everyone who
Speaker 1: is doing that who like that, they're already two levels
Speaker 1: deep in a conversation, at least two levels deep in
Speaker 1: like a conversation where they're.
Speaker 2: The racist, Yeah, your false ignorance does not, you know,
Speaker 2: preclude you from like not understanding racist. Like Also, I
Speaker 2: just want to say, kid Rock being mad at bud
Speaker 2: Light is like really like that Wesley Snipes meme where
Speaker 2: he's like shooting someone. Yeah, Rock grew up like really
Speaker 2: fucking wealthy, Like his parents are millionaires, right, Like, I
Speaker 2: don't please He's like been cosplaying this whole time. He
Speaker 2: does not give a show about budd Yeah. So the
Speaker 2: polling company, it wasn't like an evil name that they
Speaker 2: came up with. It was started by someone named Scott Rasmussen,
Speaker 2: who oddly enough invented ESPN with his dad. What then yeah,
Speaker 2: sold it off a few few years later. He's an idiot,
Speaker 2: so he like barely made money off of it, or
Speaker 2: maybe he was somebody just you know, stole the idea
Speaker 2: from him, But like he invented it with his dad,
Speaker 2: got Getty Oil to invest. But he's the genius who
Speaker 2: came up with the name for ESPN, which is Entertainment
Speaker 2: Sports Programming Network. That's what ESPN stands for.
Speaker 1: Just one of the most word salad like combinations of words.
Speaker 1: Entertainment Sports Programming Network. Is like I feel like they
Speaker 1: pulled that from a.
Speaker 2: They're playing darts.
Speaker 1: Poetry magnet, like yeah, grab bag. But it's always had
Speaker 1: He's whites premise, this you know, right wing piece of shit,
Speaker 1: and so it's just always had this lean. When he
Speaker 1: started his robo call polling business after they sold ESPN,
Speaker 1: he was immediate yeah calling right.
Speaker 4: It's like he wanted to like start out as serious
Speaker 4: as possible in sports. Realize that's not good enough. I'm
Speaker 4: just a pivot.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. But like Rush Limbough and Bill O'Reilly were
Speaker 1: such fans of his that he like his website would
Speaker 1: always crash in the early days because they would mention
Speaker 1: him and then suddenly all the all the white supremacists
Speaker 1: would come running. So and then his website was used
Speaker 1: by the Bush reelection campaign in two thousand and four.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that he was the poll that
Speaker 1: people would point to during the Trump administration to be
Speaker 1: like this is he's killing it, folks, folks guys winning
Speaker 1: he's the most popular president. But basically they ask questions
Speaker 1: which guarantee a result that will be favorable to the
Speaker 1: conservative media. So it just when when you see and
Speaker 1: like the LA Times and places like that still like
Speaker 1: still treat this as a legitimate.
Speaker 2: Polling have no idea, like people are not like literate
Speaker 2: when it comes to polls or like where like the
Speaker 2: data from poles comes from, or what it means in
Speaker 2: terms of like predictability and statistics, Like they don't understand that,
Speaker 2: like this is a percentage. This is not like predictive.
Speaker 2: This is not even like necessarily like reflective. It's really
Speaker 2: dependent on the questions you're asking, the demographic you're polling,
Speaker 2: how you're doing it, Like they I don't know. I
Speaker 2: feel like it's crazy that it is such a large industry,
Speaker 2: given how misinterpreted the results can be. And also like
Speaker 2: when you start with asking these questions and start with
Speaker 2: a white supremacist, you're not going to get anywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they even let them like do the like
Speaker 1: draw the conclusions? They Yeah. The RESTNUSEM website proclaimed a
Speaker 1: majority of Americans don't buy into the woke narrative and
Speaker 1: most voters reject anti white beliefs, and their rationale for
Speaker 1: that was a poll that found that seventy nine percent
Speaker 1: of people agreed with the statement black people can be
Speaker 1: racist too.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So they were like, and that from that we can
Speaker 1: draw all of these other conclusions.
Speaker 4: I think that like what you were saying about people
Speaker 4: not understanding polls thirty years ago, I feel the news
Speaker 4: was much more trustworthy, and they're playing on people being
Speaker 4: naive and thinking that it's still a fair playing ground
Speaker 4: like that they're really trying to get every corner of
Speaker 4: the community when really, like there are these very small
Speaker 4: and nefarious things that of course they're going to try
Speaker 4: to hide as much as possible. Like I had like
Speaker 4: no idea the ESPN thing they're connected that that's so weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think he just was involved with
Speaker 1: the very very early stages in like the nineteen eighties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. It's it's just so it's
Speaker 1: clearly trash. It's obviously no surprise that Breitbart would use
Speaker 1: their findings as headline Podder, but restnues and Poles are
Speaker 1: like still cited by like Time Magazine and LA Times
Speaker 1: and NBC. So it's just you really have to do
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 4: They're getting paid, Like why would you give them oxygen?
Speaker 2: Still there's yeah, there's others holes, there's no Oh you mean,
Speaker 2: do you think like the main news like LA.
Speaker 4: Times and stuff, like why would they still use them
Speaker 4: when they.
Speaker 1: Because it gets clicks. Yeah, I think it's for profit media. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've never looked at Breitbart as like an actual standalone website.
Speaker 2: In my mind, it's just a Nazi tumbler.
Speaker 4: Like.
Speaker 2: How I think of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, speaking of Nazis and the right wing in America,
Speaker 1: this is just a fun little check in with where
Speaker 1: their values are at. Michigan is repealing a nineteen thirty
Speaker 1: one law which states that unmarried couples living together is
Speaker 1: a crime punishable by a one thousand dollars fine and
Speaker 1: as much as one year imprisonment. And I disagree. Are
Speaker 1: Republicans are opposing it?
Speaker 2: I disagree. I think this law should stay on the books. Okay,
Speaker 2: I think people are living in sin. I think we
Speaker 2: should go back to a time when just two female
Speaker 2: friends who were besties lived together for their their decades
Speaker 2: of friendship and that alone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were just roommates.
Speaker 2: They were just tank roommates. That's what I'm saying. There
Speaker 2: should be none of this man and women living together
Speaker 2: in sin. It should just be man living with other
Speaker 2: fanciful men and women living with their best friends.
Speaker 4: The only thing that should be in your pants is
Speaker 4: the word of gone.
Speaker 1: Thank you amen. Oh my god, you guys just finally
Speaker 1: speak my language. But yeah, literally half of the state's
Speaker 1: Republican senator senators voted against the bill, and it's just
Speaker 1: like the it's an impossible. So this bill is still
Speaker 1: on the books in like Mississippi and a couple other
Speaker 1: like so in North Carolina. Florida even repealed it back
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, but like.
Speaker 2: Mississippi just got rid of slavery like last year. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so like they're still catching up, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when Florida repealed it, they weren't like, obviously,
Speaker 1: this is backwards and not in line with how we
Speaker 1: live today. They were just like it's impossible to enforce,
Speaker 1: which is funny to me that they're like, I mean,
Speaker 1: we've tried, we go and interview roommates to make sure
Speaker 1: they're not fucking each other, is it? It's all about
Speaker 1: just like, you know, men in their fifties and sixties
Speaker 1: wanting to talk like find out how like just imagine
Speaker 1: the lives of single people living and.
Speaker 2: These people just fucking watch porn instead of like inspecting
Speaker 2: genitals and trying to see if their neighbors are fucking
Speaker 2: like just watch porn, just engage with sex work if
Speaker 2: you want to in a consensual way, Like it's okay,
Speaker 2: you don't have to be this horned up in the legislature,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: They don't want both, though they want both, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah there. So North Carolina they still have a
Speaker 1: law called living in sin, the Living in Sin Statute,
Speaker 1: which dates back to eighteen oh five, making it a
Speaker 1: class two misdemeanor for an unmarried man and woman to
Speaker 1: ludely and lasciviously associate, bid and cohabitate together.
Speaker 2: And I think it's lude and lascivious when they do
Speaker 2: couples yoga, you know what I mean, Like that to
Speaker 2: me is a proscivious association. Okay, but they can fuck.
Speaker 2: I don't mind that.
Speaker 4: But I think it's lewd when men keep the toilet
Speaker 4: seed up, like come on, ohsu.
Speaker 1: But just the sexual repression and like the like gross
Speaker 1: old man horniness that you can just like smell wafting off.
Speaker 1: That sentence is so it just that I needed to
Speaker 1: read that sentence to like have a better understanding of
Speaker 1: like why these laws still exist. And it's like so
Speaker 1: people like Rhonda Santis can ask people questions about who's
Speaker 1: fucking who and then do whatever weird self flagellation he
Speaker 1: does in his gym or whatever.
Speaker 4: Eat more pudding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I lie awake at night just like wondering what
Speaker 2: the world would be like if people just weren't fucking weird,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like if you were just
Speaker 2: if all of this energy could be put to like
Speaker 2: true hoverboards, then like we would have so much more fun.
Speaker 4: We would be living like the Jets in spite now literally.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But instead there's just like guys with their like
Speaker 1: comb overs pasted to their head with sweat in Mississippi,
Speaker 1: just being like, yeah, but how do we know they're
Speaker 1: not fucking we We gotta ask, They've gotta be a smell.
Speaker 2: Test, right, Punish them for doggy style.
Speaker 1: Droppings, is the answer here, don't we think anybody else?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just a room full of spittoons and like
Speaker 1: chewed on cigar butt. Anyways, So cons what the crows
Speaker 1: are going to bring you next? Kid? Yeah, if you're lucky,
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: And we're back, and Twitter's blue check mark purge is happening.
Speaker 1: It's a real shit show.
Speaker 2: I can't even talk about it. I lost my blood
Speaker 2: jack bar again. No, I don't even know who I
Speaker 2: am anymore.
Speaker 1: My god, it's gotta be so hard.
Speaker 2: It's so hard for me and my family right now.
Speaker 2: Like I just I want some privacy during this time,
Speaker 2: but I can't have it because I have like a
Speaker 2: million impersonators now. So yeah, I'm like so popular, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems to be making Sesame Street sad. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Elmo will Elmo will miss you, little blue check mark.
Speaker 1: But don't worry everybody. Elmo still Elmo. And then Big
Speaker 1: Bird came in and was like, do you need help
Speaker 1: finding it? Elmo? Do you remember where you last had it?
Speaker 1: Which is like a step two dumb big braid, Like
Speaker 1: Elmo knows that. That was like, whoa, we know, we're
Speaker 1: on the computer, big Bird, this is the big bird.
Speaker 2: Big Bird's a big bird. What are you expecting?
Speaker 1: You know what? I mean? I think you know what.
Speaker 1: I have a family member who is just incredibly tall
Speaker 1: for his age, and everybody's always like assuming that he's
Speaker 1: in middle school when he's actually in like fourth grade
Speaker 1: or mile, isn't it I'm not saying, So maybe that's
Speaker 1: what I'm doing with big Bird. I'm like big Bird.
Speaker 1: I think I always associated big Bird is like being
Speaker 1: in charge and like old, and big Bird actually is
Speaker 1: supposed to have the mind of like a five year old.
Speaker 2: This is why like tall people are CEOs and president
Speaker 2: because of people like Jack. Okay, this is what Elon
Speaker 2: Musk is in charge of taking away those check marks
Speaker 2: in the first place.
Speaker 4: Okay, Bigger's the one that has the imaginary friend like
Speaker 4: he's seeing he's.
Speaker 1: Seeing things, and yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 2: He might actually be smarter than we think now that
Speaker 2: I think about if he's got like hallucinations and he's
Speaker 2: experimenting with shrooms, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Snuffy great character that he dreamed of.
Speaker 2: Snuffle Up against was my favorite character because I used to.
Speaker 2: I still tap dance occasionally, but I tap dances I
Speaker 2: was three, and Save you On Glover would teach Stuffle
Speaker 2: up I guess how to tap dance. And this is
Speaker 2: why Sesame Street is so important for me. Side note.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Oprah, Kim Kardashian, the Pope all lost their
Speaker 1: blue check mark. Paula VI obviously the most important person.
Speaker 2: I want to go outside.
Speaker 1: I mean, how many people have cloned your account like already,
Speaker 1: Like can you even keep track?
Speaker 2: It's hard to keep track of people who have spelled
Speaker 2: my name right while doing it, you know, like doesn't
Speaker 2: count if they've misspelled my name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one else.
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody who gives a shit.
Speaker 1: The the process was super glitchy, like the blue check
Speaker 1: marks were like flickering in it existence, like it was
Speaker 1: Marty McFly's siblings when his mom wanted to fuck him.
Speaker 2: There was also like they're saying that if you filter
Speaker 2: by verified versus blue underscore verified, that it still shows
Speaker 2: up because they're not actually like taken away. It's just
Speaker 2: the marking of them. I don't know how true that
Speaker 2: that is. So they're just hiding the they're just like
Speaker 2: hiding them and they still have Yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 2: But he's also like he on that Tucker Carlson interview,
Speaker 2: he said he laid off or like eighty percent of
Speaker 2: the company left, and it's like this dude, he like
Speaker 2: has he has nobody fixing these problems on the back end.
Speaker 3: He just does not.
Speaker 2: He's like put the doge in the corner and then
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 4: You know, give the man a break. His rocket just failed.
Speaker 5: He has to take care of this fails his marriage,
Speaker 5: and he also wanted his marriage to fail to fail,
Speaker 5: because that's actually how you learn and grow as a person.
Speaker 2: His fatherhood is failing, but he's increasing thirty seven children.
Speaker 2: He is increasing the population of the world, you know,
Speaker 2: just not feeding it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no custodial staff anywhere to be seen. One
Speaker 1: celebrity's blue check mark didn't vanish, with Stephen King, who
Speaker 1: had been one of the most vocal critics of his
Speaker 1: stupid plan. Also, Lebron was like, well, I'm not paying
Speaker 1: for this because I'm cheap, which I guess is the
Speaker 1: true thing about Lebron. And then it later came out
Speaker 1: that Musk was personally paying for Stephen King and King
Speaker 1: James's check mark, presumably to make it seem like he'd
Speaker 1: changed their mind and like started they started, like paying
Speaker 1: the eight dollars a month.
Speaker 2: But he got Stephen King, Oh I thought it went away,
Speaker 2: but it came back. I guess yeah, he said I
Speaker 2: thought it. He tried to get rid of it, but
Speaker 2: he couldn't. He couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, haha, got his ass. He's paying for the
Speaker 1: product that he introduced that nobody wants to pay.
Speaker 2: For Stephen King in his own horror novel is like
Speaker 2: having a blue check mark that means you're a tool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, just just I don't I don't even know
Speaker 1: what to say at this point.
Speaker 2: He's just so it's a bit of a it's a
Speaker 2: bit of a chech cemetery.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't she whoa? Yeah, so he's also paying for Lebron's
Speaker 1: William Shatner, anybody who criticized it. He will pay for
Speaker 1: your blue check mark account mark account if you're like
Speaker 1: big enough, name is okay.
Speaker 4: I haven't said much on the subject because I have
Speaker 4: a blue check mark, and please hear me out that
Speaker 4: you paid for I did now, I paid for it
Speaker 4: before the whole blue check was even a thing. But
Speaker 4: my whole argument is like when it comes to online businesses,
Speaker 4: which essentially I am. Yeah, like ninety nine percent of
Speaker 4: my job is social media. That's the only way I
Speaker 4: can get protection on my account.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had friends who are sex workers who had
Speaker 2: to do the same, like friends with like OnlyFans and stuff.
Speaker 2: Because he was talking about like decreasing the visibility of
Speaker 2: people without the checks and everything. So I don't blame
Speaker 2: I do not blame like people who have jobs like
Speaker 2: that for paying for it, because it's not that it's
Speaker 2: not you're not in charge of the capitalist system you're
Speaker 2: participating in. But I do blame like huge Elon Dick
Speaker 2: writing losers who like pay for the fit, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. So I think it's fine if you
Speaker 2: have a job like that, that's fine. I'm not making
Speaker 2: fun of you. I'm making fun of Elon and those
Speaker 2: two like Elon defenders, you know for.
Speaker 4: Sure, like those people should be dragged and like Kim
Speaker 4: Kardashian the Pope, they don't fucking need to be on
Speaker 4: social media. You guys have your platforms.
Speaker 1: You know, you can just issue a statement and people,
Speaker 1: like millions of people will hear it somehow very much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can issue a statement from your dull, drab,
Speaker 2: beige colored home.
Speaker 1: Well, not the Pope the Rococo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's kitch as fuck. You know, it's just
Speaker 2: the Kardashian you know what, You're right, The Kardashians should
Speaker 2: learn more from the Catholic.
Speaker 4: Church, or the Pope should get some botox.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've been I've been Brazilian budd.
Speaker 1: Dming him this for a long time. Yeah, my favorite,
Speaker 1: because obviously, like the problem that you pointed out, Kim
Speaker 1: is that like there these verified accounts existed for a reason,
Speaker 1: and so people immediately rushed in. The copycat accounts started
Speaker 1: popping up. Some one made a verified New York City
Speaker 1: Government account that was so funny. The real New York
Speaker 1: City Government disputed it, but the matter was settled by
Speaker 1: the verified Pope himself, who declared the fake account to
Speaker 1: be the real one, which is just.
Speaker 4: Gotta love it, you do. Yeah, what's fucked up is
Speaker 4: like if you sign up for Twitter Blue or whatever
Speaker 4: Meta is doing now, they're like they're putting in oh,
Speaker 4: direct customer support or two way off office sentation.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, authentication. There we two factor Yeah.
Speaker 4: You don't get that unless you sign up for the plan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just absolutely no account security.
Speaker 2: That's like, yeah, so it's so dumb because it's like
Speaker 2: it just means, yeah, it forces it to become like
Speaker 2: a truth social situation where like the user group is
Speaker 2: like the people who can't afford it and like the
Speaker 2: people who want to support this platform, and it just
Speaker 2: makes the incentivization of like using Twitter and creating content
Speaker 2: for Twitter like such like there's like no incentive, you know,
Speaker 2: but it's it's also like it's an actual threat to
Speaker 2: like people who are trying to get on the ground
Speaker 2: news out. Like I always used to say, Twitter is
Speaker 2: the place that you go for like pop culture and
Speaker 2: like jokes and like regime changes, like ash is happening
Speaker 2: on the ground in different countries, Like it's super important
Speaker 2: to know, like what like news organizations are saying about
Speaker 2: what's happening in real time and now people are people
Speaker 2: are literally gonna die because of it, like because they
Speaker 2: don't have that as a as a you know, a platform.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to find out what Ashton Kutcher thinks after
Speaker 1: David Bowie dies, you.
Speaker 2: Know, oh my god, what did he say?
Speaker 1: I feel like I remember there is a stage of
Speaker 1: Twitter where like whenever a famous person would die, like
Speaker 1: you would get these just disingenuous like half baked like
Speaker 1: oh man, rip to a real one from Ashton Kutcher. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every time.
Speaker 2: I love that from comedians who like post the only
Speaker 2: selfie they ever took with someone and it's like yeah,
Speaker 2: in the background and it's like the person who died
Speaker 2: like in the foreground and they were like we were
Speaker 2: best friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, multiple presidential candidates lost their verification, including Trump, who
Speaker 1: doesn't really use Twitter anymore. But your Nikki's Haley and
Speaker 1: Ron's DeSantis have have paid the money they are verified existed.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the bliss I had for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Government agencies are losing their blue check marks, including the
Speaker 1: Peace Corps, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Speaker 1: There's also a a verified account, a fake account that
Speaker 1: subscribed to Twitter Blue claim to represent the paramilitary group
Speaker 1: fighting for control of Sudan and falsely claimed its leader
Speaker 1: had died in the fighting too. So like it's it's
Speaker 1: just a mess. It's basically like taking it back to
Speaker 1: a time when the Internet was just whatever anybody who
Speaker 1: knew how to type into a website wanted to put
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 4: But that Internet was fun. That was like fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4: That was fun Internet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just troubling when it's being used to presumably
Speaker 1: kill people.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is like the town Square, but like
Speaker 2: everyone's yelling. It's like Elon wanted it to be, but
Speaker 2: it's like everyone's screaming. There's like crazy shit going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he's gonna introduce some solution that was
Speaker 1: basically the same thing that they already had in two years,
Speaker 1: like another fixed.
Speaker 4: Yeah we hired a janitor.
Speaker 1: Finally, yeah, janitor. All right, Finally there's good news. There's
Speaker 1: been new promising research in Parkinson's. The Michael J. Fox
Speaker 1: Foundation recently announced that they've identified a biomarker for the
Speaker 1: disease with high accuracy. Researchers believe that this may be
Speaker 1: able to indicate the disease before symptoms appear, which would
Speaker 1: be like a huge step in like finding new roots
Speaker 1: for diagnostics, potential therapies. The tests have so far been
Speaker 1: able to be about ninety percent accurate, and that's plastic.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a way really to diagnose before symptoms arrived prior.
Speaker 2: I just I know he's a rich and we have
Speaker 2: to eat him, But I fucking love Michael J.
Speaker 1: FOXX.
Speaker 2: I've always been a fan of him. He's a rich
Speaker 2: he's a rich and we have to eat him. But
Speaker 2: he's he like literally, like I remember, like I would,
Speaker 2: I was a huge fan of him and like all
Speaker 2: of his shows and his movies like growing up and
Speaker 2: like I just thought he was like a great actor.
Speaker 2: But then to make the transition to like make this
Speaker 2: your a cause while having the disease. And also like
Speaker 2: at the time, everyone was like shitting on him for
Speaker 2: stem cell research and for like pushing this. Like I
Speaker 2: remember as a kid being like because of the propaganda
Speaker 2: of like news and media, just being like, oh, like
Speaker 2: maybe he's like a bad guy, Like, you know, like
Speaker 2: having that weird feeling.
Speaker 1: Really there's this stem cell research.
Speaker 2: I remember that everybody was it was they were pushing
Speaker 2: the dead babies narrative. Everybody was like, you're you're harvesting
Speaker 2: dead babies for stem cell research for Parkinson's and there
Speaker 2: was that like the way it was presented was that
Speaker 2: it was controversial and so like as a child, I
Speaker 2: was like or like I don't remember when it started,
Speaker 2: but like not being fully aware of like what it
Speaker 2: was and how the news was presenting it. I remember
Speaker 2: like just feeling like, oh, I don't know about this,
Speaker 2: like is this weird? And then like later becoming like
Speaker 2: a scientist, I was like, this is fucking dope that
Speaker 2: he was pushing for this and now we're seeing the
Speaker 2: results of it, and it's cool that it's happening within
Speaker 2: his lifetime, you know, Like I think it's awesome when
Speaker 2: celebrities do that when they like advocate for something that
Speaker 2: they get a lot of hate for but will eventually
Speaker 2: like pay off and not at the moment. It's not
Speaker 2: like stay gratification. This research takes decades and it's like working.
Speaker 2: So I just I fucking love Michael J. Fox. I
Speaker 2: hope he's not problematic in other ways, but I know
Speaker 2: he's an old white dude, but he seems dope and
Speaker 2: put some respect on his name.
Speaker 4: I get, Yeah, he's stuck to this cause it didn't
Speaker 4: matter and like his fame be damned.
Speaker 2: He was going to and he he deferred to experts,
Speaker 2: like he didn't do the thing that celebrities do where
Speaker 2: they're like, I think I know the solution and I'm
Speaker 2: going to push people through my thinking and my problem solving,
Speaker 2: but when I don't have any of the background, Like
Speaker 2: he put money in the hands of like people who
Speaker 2: could help, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that's really cool. That would be wonderful
Speaker 1: if this was one of those things that our kids
Speaker 1: were like, oh, like the way we kind of view
Speaker 1: polio as like a thing where yeah, fully aware was
Speaker 1: like a dominant thing in the zeitgeist, was like killing
Speaker 1: people all the time. Yeah, I'm sure a lot of
Speaker 1: people who were devoted to Alex p. Keaton were disappointed when, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was associated with a cause that, like Rasmussen told them,
Speaker 1: was killing everybody and the Alex they'll steal your babies.
Speaker 2: The Alex p. Keaton people, and they're they're a person
Speaker 2: that ended up going towards would have been the Growing
Speaker 2: Pains guy. What's his name, Kirk kirk Cameron. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: Kirk Cameron turned out like who they wanted Alex Peketon
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 1: Basically that banana thing still so funny.
Speaker 2: Wait, what was the banana thing?
Speaker 1: Kirk Cameron like had this video where he was like,
Speaker 1: look at the banana, folks. He's like holding up a banana.
Speaker 1: He's like, this is proof that God exists, right it is.
Speaker 1: It's got a wrapper like a candy bar. You just
Speaker 1: like take you open it. There's no seeds in it.
Speaker 1: It's just this delicious piece of fruit. But you know,
Speaker 1: just talking about talking about it, like the banana just
Speaker 1: dropped into our lap, and the reality is that, like
Speaker 1: the banana is the result of generations of generaly like
Speaker 1: hundreds of years of bioengineering by you know, farmers, not
Speaker 1: not like the you know genetic stuff that freaks people out,
Speaker 1: like just people you know, designing things by breeding bananas
Speaker 1: that looked the way they wanted together eventually until they
Speaker 1: eventually like had one that was edible. And it used
Speaker 1: to be like this really seedy, nasty like plant that
Speaker 1: people couldn't eat. But he was like, look what God did,
Speaker 1: Like this is proof that God invented the produce section,
Speaker 1: the slaughtered the slot.
Speaker 2: Maybe what he's saying is that God invented science and
Speaker 2: science is good. Maybe that's what.
Speaker 1: He's No, I don't think that's what he's saying. Shocking,
Speaker 1: you'd be surprised to learn.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to bring in those.
Speaker 4: People, like, aren't all bananas just a clone?
Speaker 1: Yeah? They are, Like, yeah, the way that you grow
Speaker 1: bananas is through grafting, so you like have to like
Speaker 1: cut a piece of the banana plant like grafted onto
Speaker 1: a place where it grows. But they're all clones of
Speaker 1: the same single banana and baby bananas, Yeah, dead baby bananas.
Speaker 2: That exactly what Elon Musk wants his children to be
Speaker 2: is just yeah, he wants to repopulate the earth as
Speaker 2: a clone banana and.
Speaker 1: The bananas that like our parents hate and that I
Speaker 1: think I even ate when I was a kid, like
Speaker 1: in the eighties, were a different species of banana. Like,
Speaker 1: so we all have like one identical type of banana
Speaker 1: that is going to always taste the exact same and
Speaker 1: like the bananas before were a different individual type of
Speaker 1: banana that tasted more like it had more banana flavor
Speaker 1: to it. But then a disease came. Like that's the
Speaker 1: problem with having cloned fruit is that they're all exactly
Speaker 1: the same so genetically, like one disease will just like
Speaker 1: wipe the whole species out, and so you can still
Speaker 1: get like the old like eighties and seventies bananas that
Speaker 1: I get. I guess they taste more like banana candy
Speaker 1: or like, you know, the banana flavoring that we have
Speaker 1: now like actually tastes more banana than our actual bananas
Speaker 1: because it's based on a more flavorful version of the
Speaker 1: fruit that existed and got wiped out.
Speaker 4: I'm glad that bananas dead.
Speaker 2: When they changed the Girl Scout cookie recipe and everybody
Speaker 2: was like it's not the same, you know back then.
Speaker 4: McDonald's French fries, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: McDonald's French Fries is a big one. Well, Kim, such
Speaker 1: a pleasure having you as always. Where can people find you?
Speaker 1: Follow you all that good stuff?

Speaker 4: I'm everywhere.
Speaker 1: Everywhere, And is there a tweet or work of media
Speaker 1: that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 4: So I actually was listening to Friday's episode and about
Speaker 4: like tangible things and how DJ Daniel was saying, it's
Speaker 4: a shame, like we're not into that as much anymore.
Speaker 4: So I was just thinking of physical media. And I've
Speaker 4: been reading Scott McCloud has all these books on comics,
Speaker 4: like Reinventing Comics, Understanding Comics. Yeah, they're all in like
Speaker 4: comic form.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 4: Oh that's so cool, great like read if you're into
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I used to have it on the bookshelf right behind me.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where it went, but yeah, Understanding Comics
Speaker 1: is a great read. Just like it's good because it's
Speaker 1: not like it's not just like a manual. It's not
Speaker 1: like comics for dummies. It's a comics artist just like
Speaker 1: really breaking down and like it just makes reading comics
Speaker 1: even more interesting because Yeah, and the fact.
Speaker 4: That he has it like drawn out in panels, Like
Speaker 4: I finished the book within a day and then I
Speaker 4: bought the rest of everything he made.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's great. I think I know why it's not
Speaker 1: on bookshelf. Actually is because a reader once was like
Speaker 1: pointed out in a picture of me that like I
Speaker 1: had like Watchmen and then like somewhere else like Understanding Company,
Speaker 1: Like I was like, how do you read this? But
Speaker 1: it is a great book. You don't have to be
Speaker 1: a dumb dumb to enjoy it. It's actually makes you
Speaker 1: really appreciate how comics work. So go get that and
Speaker 1: then read Kim's comic.

Speaker 2: tweet that's been going around and it's from twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: and it really like hit of mizes a lot of
