Honestly, there was like when I 161 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: was a kid, the one with that Green and Document 162 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: were the ones where that made me not want to 163 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: listen to our I only discovered R a M because 164 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: of automatic for the people, because when Document and Green 165 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: were they were kind of like cheesy, like losing my religion. 166 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: But you go back and there were great songs I'm 167 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: losing my religions on Out of Time, Sorry at a Time, 168 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: Thank You I met at a Time because I didn't 169 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: really pay attention to this until, like I was so 170 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: into losing my religion. When that song was a hit, 171 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: I like made my dad listen to it. I was like, 172 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: what do you think they're talking about that? All I 173 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: liked was the weird alt on his ALTV. He did 174 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: a version of it where he was just making fart 175 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: sounds and it was great. Overrated Yeah, Okay. By the way, 176 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: when someone says a great question, they either are that 177 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: just means that they haven't heard that question before, or 178 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: they're stalling for time. Mine was stalling for time as 179 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: I opened my phone. Great question something. That's the question 180 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: that I've answered the other three times I've been on 181 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: the show. Great Question. Green is the sixth studio album 182 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: by American rock band Rim. So that's what that's my um. 183 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: The children of famous people doing the same thing they're 184 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: famous parents did. I have been thinking about this a 185 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: lot lately, especially since moving to Hollywood and being like, oh, 186 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: this isn't a meritocracy. I think if you are the 187 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: child of a famous person, whatever they did, whether they're 188 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: an actor, a musician, uh, Miles in your case, a 189 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: famous uh, A collage artist, nothing recently, I won't I 190 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: won't give him that. There should be a tenure moratorium 191 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: on doing the same thing that they're So if say 192 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: you're like the child of an actor, say you're Michael 193 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Douglas and you're like, I want to be an actor, 194 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: you can't be an actor till you're ten years old, No, 195 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: ten years later. From that decision, you should have to 196 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: wait ten years. There should be a federal Nepotism Commission 197 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: not to root out corruption and nepotism, because that's just everywhere. 198 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: Once Bernie wins. We will. We will start reforming the system. 199 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: You want to make nepotism a little more equitable, yes, 200 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: you want them to have to experience the slog and 201 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: grind a little bit. I want to take back the 202 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: nepotism from the billionaires and redistribute it. Yeah, socialist nepotism, 203 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for, nepotism. Is there someone to 204 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: change depotism and nepotism? Is there someone you look at specifically, 205 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: because it sounds like you've been thinking, who's somebody, Who's 206 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: who's on your list? Here? Why are you doing the 207 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: thing your parents do? No one I can say and 208 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: still have a career. So I was gonna say so, yes, 209 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: so I can just say Michael Douglas, who was a 210 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: good actor. Michael. Well, there's no shots fired for Michael 211 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: Douglas because he's a good actor. So I'm like, Okay, 212 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: that's a safe one. Come on, put your career on 213 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: the line right now. We have we have three beautiful pets. Yeah, 214 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say something, but I'm not okay, Yeah, 215 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: you know the pets moles need food. Now. I mean 216 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: I both self made, relatively our parents working in middle 217 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: class so I feel safe um and saying this, but 218 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: like Michael Douglas, there would be a federal nepotism commission. Uh, 219 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: you would have to pass a test and you would 220 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: have to show that you are as say you're an actor, 221 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: as charismatic or more charismatic, or as skilled in the 222 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: dramatic arts, more skilled than your parents they did it. Yeah, 223 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: just leave it alone at that point, yes, and if not, sorry, 224 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: you're just gonna have to live on their riches or 225 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: find something else. Today. One of the other things that 226 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: rich people funnel their children into finance, nonprofits, politics. Trying 227 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: to think of examples where the the offspring was more 228 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: skilled than the previous generation. Yeah, and are well. But 229 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, So, I think there's a thing and there's 230 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: a lot of athlete in sports, Yeah, where it is 231 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: a pure meritography and that somebody gets like just has 232 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: the ability. First of all, it's not a lot of 233 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: information that needs to be passed down, but you get 234 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: it an early age. And then you're also just constantly 235 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: around the game, so like you pick up things that 236 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: can't be put into words, like in a motets by 237 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: like age four. Like I think it happens in like 238 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: football coaching a little bit. I don't know about basketball coaching, 239 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: but like football coaching with jack only one way to 240 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: find out. With Mike Shanahan's kid is like pretty brilliant, 241 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: Like he's he's a coach. He's a coach of the Niners. Um, 242 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: here's a question. Besides Colin Kaepernick, are there other political 243 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: but so sports does feel like the true meritocracy, right, 244 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: if you're good at it, you will get a chance. 245 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: How many people like are there like Colin Kaepernick? Who 246 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: who are are politically blacklisted? And even though they are 247 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: good and are like top tier performers, top tier and 248 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: whatever sport they're playing are blacklisted. I mean every baseball 249 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: player before Jackie Robinson's like, they should be viewed as 250 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: as skeptically as anybody during the steroid era, because like, 251 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: if you're looking at their stats like they're playing against 252 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, half the best players in the country. Whitey Ford, right, 253 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: who I only know from a Simpsons episode and that 254 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: one album, right is that every who's whose album is 255 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: Whitey Ford Sings of Blues? Oh? Ever, less, uh, we 256 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: just say Chris Jackson, mak mud Abdu, Yeah, he was 257 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: kind of kind because yeah, he wouldn't stand for the 258 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: national anthem back then because he was like, this is 259 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: a symbol of oppression. But he's in the nineties and 260 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: they're like, you're the mainstream media was just like fuck you. 261 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: Oh when the major media was islamophobic and not anymore. Yeah, exactly. 262 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Unfortunately we fixed all that. What is something you think 263 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: is underrated? Great question? Thanks. I had a lot of 264 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: thoughts for this one, but I think I'm gonna go 265 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: with John Sales films, and I think underrated in terms 266 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: of like culture at large. I think within film, within 267 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: the like people who know about film. John Sales is 268 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: exactly rated as he should be, which is as a 269 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: fantastic filmmaker. Right do you guys know John Sales films, 270 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: Eight Men Out Lone Stars, Brother from Another Planet, passion Fish, 271 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: There's a ton The Secret of ron i Ish is 272 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: one of my favorites. Passion Fish. I think it's passion 273 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: Fish is the one where like it just blew my mind. 274 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: It starts off as like a rom com and then 275 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: halfway through it turns into a thriller, like the genre 276 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: just changes. It's not jarring though. I think it's passion 277 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: Fish it's one of his and I think that's the 278 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: one of like Mary McDonald and David Strathairn. But he 279 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: makes films that are social films, but they're not like 280 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: issue films, if that makes any sense. Like Crash is 281 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: a issue film, not that J. G. Ballard Crash, the 282 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: the one that's about racist it's an imported film about Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly, 283 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: But they're they just the characters live in a social 284 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: reality and they are like, do you guys watch the 285 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: Expanse or read the Expanse books? No, I know a 286 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: lot of people are loving it though they're pretty good. 287 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: They're not great, but they're pretty good. And they have 288 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: the characters living in a political reality and they're affected 289 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: by politics without their being like this is this book 290 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: is going to deal with terrorism and without having like 291 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: a capital letter issue that they're going to deal with. 292 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: They're just like they live into social reality and that 293 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: affects who they are and what they do. Same thing 294 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: with John Sales, except down to earth and more believable characters. 295 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: And you know, it's about the world we live in. 296 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: You've been making movies or he hasn't made a movie 297 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: since two thousand. Yes, it's tough for him to get financing. Yeah, 298 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: but he makes a living as a screenwriter. He's been 299 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: making films. I was reminded of John Sales because he 300 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: was on Michael Moore's podcast, and I was just like, 301 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: oh God, I love John Sales films. Yeah, I just 302 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: haven't watched one in a while. I guess because he 303 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: hasn't made one in a while. Yeah. I like the 304 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: two that I've seen quite a bit, like really like 305 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: a lot Lone Star and uh The Secret of RHO 306 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: nine ish and never bothered to like go out and 307 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: see the other one, so I can't do that.

I think he's made eighteen films. Yeah, 310 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: he's made quite a few. Uh. Finally, what is a myth? Andy? 311 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: What is something people think it's true that you know 312 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: to be false. Or is something false that you know 313 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: to be true something people think it's false you know 314 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: to be true.

I don't regularly go on Facebook. 322 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: I was just like about eight push ups and then 323 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: you're like, I'm ready. I was so tired of Twitter. 324 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: Twitter was like fecal fying my brain. It was just 325 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: like just like unrelenting with political stuff. And I'm like, oh, 326 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: maybe I'll go to Facebook much better, It'll be better. 327 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't. But he was saying that like he was angry. 328 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: He's like that people were saying rightly so that Bernie 329 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: was the most feminist candidate running, and he was like, 330 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: there are two women running. I'm sorry, and I'm just 331 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: like I thought, if I engage with him without being 332 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: like an asshole, with just being like, hey, I when 333 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: I was a philosophy professor, I taught a class on 334 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: philosophy of feminism, and I was just like, without saying that, 335 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: without like throwing my credentials in his face, I was like, hey, 336 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: that's not what feminism is. It doesn't just mean that 337 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: whatever your genitalia are, you know, if you happen to 338 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: have female genitalia. You're a feminist. Um. It doesn't mean 339 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: that like Um. It means that you are fighting whatever 340 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: your policies are or whatever you're saying, is fighting for equality. 341 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: It is fighting for you know, fair wages for everyone. 342 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: It is bringing men, women in all nine binary people 343 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: all on at the same level. That's what true feminism is. 344 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: My favorite feminist is Barbara Bush. So like feminism has 345 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: nothing to do it has to do with like the policies. 346 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: What was this person saying exactly when you were when 347 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: you were bringing up your point about feminism exactly, this 348 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: person was purely, narrowly just saying because there are two 349 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: women in it, yes that there that therefore they are 350 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: more feminist, that Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren are more feminist. 351 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: I was, I was with Warren. I don't have much 352 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: of a problem with Besides, I don't think that she 353 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: her policies are as radical as Bernie's or and I 354 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: don't think she has an actual movement behind her. By radical, 355 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: you mean the nineties skateboarder sense, right, Yeah, she's never allied. 356 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: I've never seen her once do the thing where her 357 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: skateboard is uh sliding in the middle of it is 358 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: sliding board slide? Yeah, I've never seen it do a 359 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: board slidell Bro, You're you're not equipped to talk about 360 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: what's radically don't even know what a board slide was. 361 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: I I go to the skate park every day. I 362 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: have not seen Warren there once. Have any times I've 363 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: seen Bernie at the skate park, but her policies don't 364 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: support it. How many times have I seen Bernie at 365 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: the abandoned pool where we all skate once a week, 366 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: but bettos there every day.

That was 369 00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: one of his quotes. I think that was a quote 370 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: on the cover a Vanity Fair, just like what I saw. 371 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: I bet the listening to Classic Black Flag pre rollins 372 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: Black Flag look at him? So you know what skateboard 373 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: and Barefoot credit work credits to. All Right, we're gonna 374 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're 375 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: back and real quick, let's talk about the NBA All 376 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: Star game. Check Kan had a weird national anthem, but 377 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't the weirdest National Anthem wasn't Fergy, right, It 378 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: wasn't fergy was It was just it was like scat 379 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: jazz from hell. It was like she really took creative 380 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: like hump pumps, hump sumps up? What was it? She 381 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, went just more like she just had 382 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: a different uh melody. It was a different uh yeah. 383 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: It just sounded different enough that I had to check 384 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: the lyrics to make sure she was singing the same laric. 385 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: I'm not going to come for Shaka khon no but exactly. 386 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: It's like, what did you did you think she was 387 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: just going to do a straightforward rendition?

Yes it was. 389 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like the NBA is like 390 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: and also have fun. Remember she was all bread yeah, 391 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: and it was like, are you fucking the national anthem? Hey? Man? Uh? 392 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: The only people that do straightforward renditions the CIA, thank 393 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: you for straight Uh. The dunk contest was I mean, 394 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: some people are mad about the outcome. It was still 395 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: like I don't remember dunk contests by who wins. I 396 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: remember them by like the dunks that were done, and 397 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: there were some pretty incredible dunks. The scoring system is 398 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: obviously fucked, but terrible always has been the dunk on 399 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: tests that I was watching it and I could not 400 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: stand how many perfect tens they were giving out, which 401 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: sort of makes there's no way to actually discern or 402 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: differentiate between these dunks. If everyone's getting perfect tens just 403 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: because they executed, it's not like the MTV basketball needs 404 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: to come back. It's similar, Rock and Jock must come back. 405 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: Viacom if you're listening, I know you are because Ie money, 406 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: but please bring Rock and Jock back. That's like, that's 407 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: a game we deserve. Overall, it was one of the 408 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: best dunk contests. Yeah, yeah, it looks right out out 409 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: I'll be like, yeah, I give to Andy so but yeah, look, 410 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: Derrick Jones Jr. People debate whether he should have one 411 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: or not. I think he did fantastic. I really think 412 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: that the people Aaron Gordon can be upset because the 413 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: scoring system. Ultimately, I think things come down to dunks 414 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: that need to be scored a certain way, and if 415 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,719 Speaker 1: everyone's really tight going into the last round, then just 416 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: any deviation ends up meaning like throwing the entire thing. 417 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: When yeah, he kept escalating, he was, you know, yes, 418 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: ending on every day. I think he had the best 419 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: dunk of the contest with the off the side of 420 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: the backboard thrown by Mark l Faults. By the way, 421 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: shout out seventy sixers, who also missed the backboard with 422 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: his first toss. I was like, of all the people 423 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: to put in a high pressure situation, you're putting Mark 424 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: el Faults, the dude who like just forgot how to 425 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: shoot after being the number one pick. Anyways, he's better now, Yeah, 426 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: he's doing much better. That dunk where he threw it 427 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: off the backboard, caught it with one hand and did 428 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: a three sixty was one of the craziest dunks. And 429 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: then the All Star Game was also dope. The fourth 430 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: quarter where it was like first two uh, I think 431 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: it was like one fifty seven or something, and like 432 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: they started playing defense and getting real competitive. It was. 433 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: It was really fun. It was one of it was 434 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: definitely the most fun stretch of All Star Game I've 435 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: ever seen. Also get better just for the dunk contest, 436 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, like shout out to Common and Shadwick Boseman, 437 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: but like put people in who like can dunk or 438 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: have like a great idea of like body mechanics, like 439 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: get Misty Copeland in there. Yeah, your dream judges for 440 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: the Vince Carter, Misty Copeland, Simone Biles, Um, Dominique Wilkins, 441 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: who and Michael Irving Yeah what wait what he was 442 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: doing the celebrity dunk contest like in the eighties. Um. 443 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: But I just think I would love to see people 444 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: who understand movement too, like Simone Biles or Misty Copeland 445 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: might look at it very differently. Yeah right, somebody. I 446 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: just like, you know, and I get it you want 447 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: to have like Chicago people in there too thematically, and 448 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: I get that it makes sense to get people in it, 449 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: but I also would love to just see like, get 450 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: people you can also see having a bit of expertise 451 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: in there, because I feel like the more scientific you 452 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: make a judging thing like that, the or it becomes, 453 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: because it will then become like the Olympic like Olympic 454 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: gymnastics or Olympic diving, where it's like you have to 455 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 1: like hit these three points and then you like so 456 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: people like get start gamifying it where this is more 457 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: all around phenomenological, like the technico cradic solutions are not 458 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: the way is the way to go, So I guess 459 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: you do not opposite, we're saying that they're not the 460 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: way to go. You have to understand it as totality understanding. 461 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: So then what would we do with split how many? 462 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: I think, look, you get if you're doing five judges, 463 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: three are people who like know the dunk, and then 464 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: two are just people who are gonna give you like 465 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: the oh shit score. Yes, yeah, I would go three 466 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: to the other way, so you couldn't game fight because 467 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: if you still have are winning on three judge cards, okay, yeah, 468 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: democratize it a little bit democratizing. And then whoever has 469 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: a movie coming out there, like Queen Slim. If Queen 470 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: Slim's coming out, you have them ass the you have yeah, 471 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: the Hedgehog, right, you have Ben Schwartz and Cyclops James Morrison.

MPRPBS released a poll that has Bloomberg 483 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: surging and Biden slipping, and that's all the mainstream media 484 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: seems to you. Look, yeah, there's who I wonder who's 485 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: at first? What, I don't know what you're talking some 486 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: guy named Bernard Sindar by Bernards Yeah, uh, he's at 487 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: and up nine points since the last poll from last month. 488 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: Biden has gone down nine points to fifteen percent. Bloomberg 489 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: second place with nineteen percent. That's fifteen percentage points that 490 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: he's shot up since the last poll. And then with 491 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: that that means Elizabeth Warren she had a five point slide, 492 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,719 Speaker 1: Amy Klobuchar had a five point increase, and Mayor Pete 493 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: also had a bit of a decrease as well. He 494 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: went down five points. To be fair, though, Amy Klobuchar 495 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: has that increase because she was throwing things at the 496 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: people that were taking the poll at the time, and 497 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: she was screaming at them to vote for her. She's 498 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: a she's got a lot of you know, there's a 499 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: lot of interesting momentum around hermentum, the clamentum. Uh and like, 500 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: but it's funny to see after Iowa, like the media 501 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: try and figure out do they want to lean more 502 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: into Mike Bloomberg or sort of treat Amy Sanders or 503 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: Amy Senders. Amy Klobasch are sort of like an outsider 504 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: Cinderella picks. Quite possibly. The New York Times has been 505 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: constantly pushing for Klobuchar, like when she was when she 506 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: had absolutely no cloamentum at all, they were like, She's 507 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,719 Speaker 1: gonna be great. And so it's uh, now that that 508 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: pushed her a little bit above, it's interesting to see. 509 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: It's interesting to see propaganda play out in front of 510 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: your eyes, right, like Bloomberg using his vast wealth to 511 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: press propaganda. It's like, oh wow, it's working with because 512 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: most people their brains have not been fecalified by online politics, 513 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: and they just kind of like if they hear an 514 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: ad like now and I were, Oh, when we were 515 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: at sketch Fest and we were in a lift and 516 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: they had the radio on, we heard it was just 517 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: like one ad for Bloomberg one ad for Buddha chat, 518 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: one ad for Bloomberg, like over and over for you. Yeah. Yeah, 519 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean that's but that's the point, right, like you 520 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: In these campaigns, targeted ads are meant to get your 521 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: numbers up, and I guess when you saturate, that's what 522 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: you're seeing. Like just and if you went off the ads, 523 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: you would think Obama himself was like, this is the guy. 524 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: This is the guy. And the ads are very slick. 525 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: So I you know, when you look at somebody who 526 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,479 Speaker 1: is not really keeping up with what the stakes are 527 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: in this election or what the backgrounds are. If some 528 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: of these candidates, you'd look at a Bloomberg ad and 529 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: be like, damn, this guy sounds pretty good. He put 530 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: on like this black like architecture firm, but like has 531 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: been trying to and then put them in jail. Yeah, 532 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: no mention of that, although gosh, some of the rallies 533 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: were very interesting when like a protester put up a 534 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: sign that says he protects racist systems on the podium 535 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: and then like they're like, get that off, get that off. 536 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: I would totally vote for this cruel, bloodless vampire over 537 00:32:53,920 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: the vulgar, screaming white supremacists. If it becomes Bloomer versus Trump, 538 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: it's it's a yeah, it's like that's funeral, like November whatever. Third, 539 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: what is it going to be this year? As officially 540 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: as the bed time for democracy for dead Kennedy's um 541 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: as as a bed or work was telling me when 542 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: we're skating together. Uh So five thirty eight, which has 543 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: a blended average, has a lot of very bad news 544 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: for the d n C in their projection because, uh, 545 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: they have Bernie up by a lot on any other candidate, 546 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: but he's tied with nobody getting the majority, which ends 547 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: in a brokered convention essentially, which both seem like apocalyptic 548 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: scenarios for them, because like, I don't know which one 549 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: they want less, I guess is my question. They probably 550 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: want they would probably prefer a brokered convention. They're willing 551 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: to destroy the part. We saw it an Iowa there, 552 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: they were willing to destroy the Iowa caucuses. That's one 553 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: thing in order to prevent Bernie. They are willing to 554 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: destroy the party because they are. It doesn't for the 555 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: top people in the d n C and in the 556 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, their lives don't change if they destroy the party. 557 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: They're still very wealthy. They still have a lot of power. Well, 558 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: we were talking about how like Tom Perez had like 559 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: this golden parachute builds into his d NC contract where 560 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: it's like if ship went south, like he was still 561 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: getting a payout. So even if the worst case scenario 562 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: to the establishment happened and Bernie were to get the nomination, 563 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: he could like jettison and get a check. But then 564 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: people are like there was some much scrutiny on it. 565 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: They'd be like, I was just joking about that. I'm 566 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: not actually take a check if I leave, I will 567 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: say I don't in a second. I don't know. I 568 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: haven't made my decision fully. Whether IOWA was like specifically 569 00:34:54,040 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: uh engineered incompetence or actual just like dumb incompetent personally, 570 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: that's I don't know. But but even in the wake 571 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 1: of it, I I agree, I don't think there's enough 572 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: information to know. But even in the wake of it, 573 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: where they've where they did everything they could to not 574 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: come to a decision quickly or a leak out information 575 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: when it was when it helped Buddha jedge right when 576 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: you're like at sixty, Why that's the questions I have 577 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: where it's just like, oh, well because or like the 578 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: S d S a metric we've never used in the 579 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: fucking entire existence of the Iowa caucuses. It usually was 580 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: but you've never decided, You've never when have you ever 581 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: seen someone be like, oh I want because I have 582 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: more sd S well state delicate equivalence? Is that what 583 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: it is? Yeah? But I think I think the popular 584 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: vote was the thing that wasn't typically reported, right, it's 585 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: usually about the delegates. I think, Uh, do you think 586 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: it breaks the party? I don't. I don't know. It's 587 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: tough to know. I mean, like, because that's a it's 588 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: a really dark situation to be where you go to 589 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: a brokered primary or brokered convention where they will steal 590 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: it from here's the super delegates to like rat fuck 591 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: in whatever way you want to, and then people are 592 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: going to be like, what is this? Because the will 593 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: of the voters is one way. But now you're like, 594 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: because I think the super delegates control about six of 595 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: the delegates there, so it's like it's split with like 596 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: Bernie has a third and the other two thirds are 597 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: spread around four or five candidates. That's sixteen percent if 598 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: it goes all into one person that can do a lot, 599 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's where it gets interesting, and you 600 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: would I just think I would be a terrible, terrible, 601 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: terrible thing to have a brokered convention because it's I 602 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: could just see how much momentum, excitement, enthusiasm is just 603 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: taken out at that point. But again, that's the kind 604 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 1: of chaos that the right would love to see because 605 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: that's sort of what they're used to seeing the Democrats 606 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: sort of do. It's like somehow they've created their own problem, 607 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: uh and weaken themselves. Yes, but because they really do 608 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 1: want what the right wants. I I really do count 609 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: centrist on the right. I don't think there really is 610 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: an actual center. They actually do want fascism. They just 611 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: want people to be nice, nicer to brown and gay people. Sure, 612 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: that's that's really all they want, But they still want 613 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: basically fascism. I think that, yeah. I think whether that's 614 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: through like oppressive systems of like you know, how our 615 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: financial systems work. I think that's really like the overlap 616 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: there because they're both like, look, we're both not gonna 617 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: like make it hot for the rich to be real here. 618 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: We can will differ on those other things. But we 619 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: will hold the line for like the billionaire. Yes, and 620 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: that's that's where their similarities are. For that's what I meant. 621 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't mean Trump himself ripped the mask off. I 622 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: mean his election that was the end of us being 623 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: able to pretend that there is a rational discourse that 624 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: can be had. Yeah. No, I don't think he yeah, 625 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: I didn't think you're conscious saying he like consciously now 626 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: yeah he's yeah. But I think I do think he's 627 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: a symptom of, you know, a lot of problems we're 628 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: seeing going on, which is I think people are generally 629 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: becoming more aware of, you know, the how the system 630 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: works and like some myths that we were all buying 631 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: into as a culture and as it's like uster kind 632 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: of going away because people are getting I don't know, 633 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: uh what. One thing that I do think, just in 634 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: talking about five thirty eights analysis, which has uh Sanders 635 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: and Broker convention tied, is in kind of explaining how 636 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: they came up with these numbers and like what the 637 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: models predicting, Nate Silver was saying that the model was 638 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,479 Speaker 1: surprised that Bernie didn't get more of a bump after 639 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: Iowa New Hampshire, and they were saying that could be 640 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: because he has a ceiling in terms of his support, 641 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: But I think it has more to do with the 642 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: fact that the mainstream media just didn't cover him as 643 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: a winner. Did you see when um de Blasio endorsed him, 644 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: it was either CNN or MSNBC, says the headline was, 645 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: do Blasio endorses Democrat. It wouldn't even Yeah, yeah, they 646 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't say Bernie wouldn't. It's it is, it is. It 647 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: would be funny if there weren't real repercussions, and if 648 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: people's lives weren't on the line, and like a better 649 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: society wasn't on the line, it would be genuinely hilarious. Yeah, 650 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: So I just wanted to say that, Like, I think 651 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: five thirty eight does a pretty good job of like 652 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: bringing all the available statistics together. I think one huge 653 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 1: blind spot they have is that they are owned by 654 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: a major media, mainstream media corporation, and so they don't 655 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: take the mainstream media bias into account. And I think 656 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: that really the rest of the primary is going to 657 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:08,280 Speaker 1: be a story of whether Bernie and his supporters can 658 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: overcome that sort of blind spot and that bias because 659 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: it seems like the mainstream media is going to try 660 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 1: and focus on whoever again the bizarro coverage. The numbers 661 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: still increase. Yeah, yeah, I think not as much as 662 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 1: they were. And I think that's where you see again 663 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: the blind spot. Then we've talked about this like they 664 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: don't there's no there's no element of class consciousness and 665 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: discourse in the media. Right. So there's a few candidates 666 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: who are who have made that and they're not being 667 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: talked about. Because that's really the most disruptive thing that 668 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: that could that could happen in this election. Are people 669 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: really understanding what the stakes are and then deciding from 670 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: there what the solution should be, because I think we're 671 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: past the day is of like it's the people on 672 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: the right or screwing this up, or it's immigrant whatever 673 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: it is. More to like, No, we are in a 674 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: system that is completely fucked, is completely rigged, and that's 675 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: what that's the first step to changing. And I mean 676 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: we've talked before about how that's not just the mainstream news, 677 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: that's everything about our zeitgeist and our founding identity, myth 678 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: that America is a place where you pull yourself up 679 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: by the bootstraps, and it almost seems profound when like 680 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: a movie talks about class, because that's like John Sales, Yeah, 681 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: John Sales, or joker or parasite. People were like, whoa 682 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: wait a second, fuck it was. It is so funny 683 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: to watch like Neil Brannan or anyone who's like wealthy 684 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: and has been wealthy for a long time, or I 685 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: don't know his class background, but he used to caddy 686 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,479 Speaker 1: was something he said in that thread of like something 687 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: about like struggle. He was like, I grew up caddying, 688 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: And I'm like, what, maybe that was a job. I 689 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: remember seeing that and I was like, this has to 690 00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: be a joke. It's so funny to watch people who 691 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: have ever had to think about class before suddenly have 692 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: to grapple with it, and they blow especially wealthy people. 693 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: It just blows their mind that anyone could be again 694 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: like I don't personally hold wealthy people. If I was wealthy, 695 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: I came from a wealthy background, I wouldn't want to 696 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: give up my money either, which is why you have 697 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: to create a system that well right now, I think 698 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: that's when those arguments start to go out the window, 699 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: and when you see people start like having solidarity with 700 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 1: billionaires because they're used to this argument is like, well, 701 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: if they get a hit, that means the people that 702 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: work for them also take a hit. Rather than being like, 703 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 1: hold on the inconvenience actually trickles down to the person 704 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: at the lowest wrong, not the highest. They're not saying, 705 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: none of these people in these boardrooms are like, all right, man, 706 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: we we took a hit. We're gonna have to take 707 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: smaller salaries next year. They're like, no, funk. That just 708 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,959 Speaker 1: fucking cut off one of these offices. And then we've 709 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: we've we've saved ourselves. If a couple of hundred millions, 710 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: how many fucking viable businesses have we seen in the 711 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: last year or two either online? Look, well, UM meltdown 712 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: here in Los angele lists. They raised the rent It 713 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: was a viable business. It was one of the lynch 714 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: pins of the comedy community here, a wonderful comic book store. 715 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: They raised their rents so that they couldn't exist there anymore. 716 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: All right, what just closed down? H Q? Right, the 717 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: trivia game closed down not because it wasn't profitable, because 718 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: they wanted to be extremely profitable and they wanted to 719 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: same thing with um what was the comedy thing that 720 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 1: just shut down like two weeks ago or three weeks ago, 721 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,959 Speaker 1: Not Funny or Die, College Humor. College Humor just shut down, 722 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: not because it wasn't profitable, because they wanted to be 723 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: extremely profitable, right, all these things where people just want 724 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: to they're just extracting without having any kind of social 725 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: consciousness or care for, uh, making a better or more 726 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: interesting society. They just want to suck out as much 727 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: value as possible so they can buy, like what a 728 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: twentieth boat? Yeah, well that's what you see, Like who's who, 729 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: who benefits and who bears the burden of it? And 730 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 1: it's constantly people on the lower end of the financial 731 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: spectrum are the ones who bear the burden while the 732 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: people just laugh their ass off on their boats. And 733 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 1: then they're like Betsy Divas has like you know, when 734 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: her forty million dollar yacht catches fire, people are like 735 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 1: hell yeah, because what the fuck are any of us 736 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: going to know about owning a forty million dollar yacht? None? 737 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: Most of us are just want, yeah, caught, like some 738 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,240 Speaker 1: ship happened to her there or something, or it fucking 739 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: was yeah in a way, but like what you're saying 740 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't know there is this. I think people are 741 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: now hopefully and I think they are slowly starting to 742 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: see who the people are that are actually standing in 743 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: the way of them being able to flourish or to 744 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: be able to live in a way that feels like 745 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: you have dignity and respect. We just don't. You have 746 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 1: to afford to be able to live with dignity and respect. 747 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,760 Speaker 1: And that's the bottom line, is like we're just saying 748 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,760 Speaker 1: there should be no price tag on that. Rich people 749 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: eat so well. The handful of times I've gotten to 750 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: have a fancy meal, Oh my god, it's so delicious, 751 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: it's so good, or this is the thing that drives me. 752 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,720 Speaker 1: Like the example I always use is like air travel, 753 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 1: which is like in your face first class. I mean 754 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 1: it doesn't like there's no class system, first class, first 755 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: class and broke as everything is commodified in air travel 756 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,280 Speaker 1: and it is the worst fucking experience unless you are wealthy. Yeah, 757 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 1: and they make it that way too, So like in 758 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: a way, it's like watching cribs where you see how 759 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: they do it and you're like, oh, I would love 760 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: that because where how I live it's not like this. 761 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,359 Speaker 1: And then when you're on a plane, You're like, these 762 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: seats are so fucking small, Like over there, the fucking 763 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 1: ships wider, It goes back more. It gets you sick 764 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: because they don't clean it. The thing is really bad. 765 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 1: Could you imagine if what we were talking about the 766 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: one of the last episodes, it's like the cleaning is 767 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 1: even different on the on the plane like first class, 768 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 1: like Eco Lab comes through and like make sure it's 769 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: like surgically sanitized. Meanwhile, like in the back, they're like, 770 00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: I don't know for breeze of ship, but you can 771 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: pitch extra dollars if you want yours cleaned, well, if 772 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: you want your seat cleaned, well, if you don't pay 773 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 1: that ten extra dollars, you're gambling with your health. I 774 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: would pay that because it's really bad. Uh. I always 775 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: forget to bring those wipes that like you can just 776 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: wipe down your whole scene with. Always find a parent 777 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: on the plane exactly. They're always you're like, hey, let 778 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: me let me score one real quick.

Yeah, but 783 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 1: that song is so catchy that it's still in my 784 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: head to this day because Jared was so associated with 785 00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: the five because it was doing in the franchise owners. 786 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 1: So the deal is great for the customer, but for 787 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: the restaurant owner terrible. The margins are absolute dogshit and 788 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: you can't make you're giving money away when you give 789 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: away a five when you sell five dollar foot long. 790 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 1: So they look, I love Subway, Okay, I love I 791 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: love the tune of sandwich.

So they have a new promotion, 800 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 1: which I'm sure franchise owners are livid about this time. 801 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 1: Starting March five, Subway will offer people buy one, get 802 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 1: one free on all foot long sandwiches as long as 803 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: you order um on online or use the app, right, 804 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a terrible for the like the restaurant 805 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: on What is the benefit of that?

Right, 808 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 1: So at the at the very top, they're trying to say, look, 809 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 1: we really need to make up more like mobile and 810 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,439 Speaker 1: online business because it only makes up for one point. 811 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: This is like boardroom talk, only one point four percent 812 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: of our business. How can we grow that? Okay? So 813 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: that if they do this, hopefully this promotion can get 814 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: a jump to at least five percent of their sales 815 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: coming from mobile, mobile or online. Like why Like, if 816 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 1: it's that low, why increase because those are numbers that 817 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: matter to Wall Street now because they've seen like and 818 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 1: so it's just you have every quarter, you have an 819 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: earnings call where you get like your CEO gets on 820 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 1: the phone and talks about the quarter you just had 821 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: based on the numbers that you have in front of 822 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 1: like the people who invest and then analysts ask you 823 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: questions and so a lot basically all of a company's 824 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: strategy is driven by the like that hour and a 825 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: half long call and people, you know, it's like you 826 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: feel the ramifications of that all the way down the 827 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 1: corporate ladder, and you'd be able to say, like, hey, 828 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,720 Speaker 1: we increased online sales. But here's the thing. The franchisees 829 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,280 Speaker 1: are all asking, what is there going to be compensation 830 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: from corporate when I'm giving away a fucking sandwich every 831 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,439 Speaker 1: time they buy it through the app. Their answer is, uh, 832 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 1: similar to other offers, there is no additional compensation. So 833 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 1: so some so the Mark Zuckerberg of Subway Mark, Suburbs, 834 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:52,839 Speaker 1: Subber Supper, Superberg, that's the uh. So he his his 835 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: pocketbook gets bigger. Yeah, or it's just a weird way 836 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,440 Speaker 1: to show weird growth that actually is of negatively affecting 837 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,400 Speaker 1: your franchise is zes The guy who they have running 838 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: it is like the former CEO of Burger King, And 839 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 1: one of his last things he was doing at Burger 840 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,320 Speaker 1: King was he was like, wanted a one dollar double 841 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 1: cheeseburger like promo and that was going to be sold 842 00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: out a loss to the franchisees. They've voted to reject 843 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 1: this promotion twice. And then he overruled them, and I 844 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: was like, no franchise, the franchise's voted to not like 845 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 1: to reject it, but the CEO overruled them and they 846 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 1: had to do it. Wait, the CEO is not held 847 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: accountable to the voters. This is what's weird. I mean, 848 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: this is a thing that you see, Like this reminds 849 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 1: me of the overall Walmart model, where like Walmart is 850 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: going to all these communities and putting mom and pop 851 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 1: shops out of business. So uh, you know that money 852 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: doesn't stay in the community, and it's almost like they're 853 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 1: these vacuums that are just like sucking up all the 854 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 1: money and like taking it to some centrally located place. 855 00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 1: And it's like if when it comes to like whether 856 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 1: they're driving value for the centrally located corporation or like 857 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: that local business, it's always going to be like moving 858 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 1: value to the central headquarters. And that's why you see 859 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 1: a lot of suffering like all over the world where 860 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: there's not these giant mega corporations located um and with this, 861 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: it's just another version of the same thing where it's 862 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, the thing that drives value for the central 863 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 1: group is what's being valued as opposed to you know 864 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 1: what drives value marks what was what it was Mitt 865 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: Romney's company, because now so it's like we live in 866 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: a comic book now we do. Really does feel like that, 867 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: um because they they're just like, yeah, we're gonna be 868 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: outright villains and you can't do anything about it. That's 869 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: basically it. Um. But like they did that with like 870 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 1: it was a Toys or US or was a KB 871 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 1: they did with one of the toy franchises again under 872 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 1: that made money. They went in, they leveraged dead on 873 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: it and then sucked out what they could and then 874 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:16,760 Speaker 1: let it fall apart raiding baby raiding it from ye. Yeah. 875 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,919 Speaker 1: The one thing though, I just wish Look, I want 876 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 1: some franchisees as you a rogue, you know what I mean. 877 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 1: I'll support a rogue, so what stops them? I would 878 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 1: Actually that would be a great thing if you if 879 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: we said, right now, if there is a subway franchise 880 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: that says fuck you to the corporate whatever corporate center 881 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 1: will support, we will rally around you, because I'm like, 882 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,279 Speaker 1: just give me that saying. Well, I guess it'll be 883 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,319 Speaker 1: slightly different, But at the same time, I I want 884 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 1: them to bring the you gouch back. A lot of 885 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,319 Speaker 1: the sandwich artists don't know the you gouch like they 886 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 1: used to. Yeah, you guys just don't need to take 887 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,880 Speaker 1: the top part off like it was like a U 888 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 1: shaped taken off. Turn it into a little bread canoe. Yeah, 889 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: it was like a bread bull sandwich. D s A. 890 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 1: You need to start a upweight justice for me. Right, 891 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about to two related stories, boy Scouts going 892 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: bust and the fact that it's National Chocolate Minte. Uh, 893 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 1: they're not related to each other at all. But my 894 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 1: my explanation for why the Boy Scouts went busts I 895 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,759 Speaker 1: should have created Boy Scout. That's really dark. Concerning the 896 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,280 Speaker 1: reason why they're finally for bankruptcy, it's because of all 897 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 1: of these sexual abuse claims against them. So it's not 898 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 1: cool for me to be like, they should have done this. 899 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: What did the Boy Scout pope have to say? Well, 900 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 1: this is funny because it's very similar to what the archdiocese, 901 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,799 Speaker 1: like certain archdiocese in the Catholic Church have done, and 902 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 1: also USA Gymnastics. So with the Boy Scouts, they're looking 903 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 1: at hundreds of sexual abuse lawsuits at the moment, and 904 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: they're finding right now. They said their liabilities range from 905 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,200 Speaker 1: a hundred million to five hundred millions and assets of 906 00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 1: less than fifty thousand dollars um. But the whole reason is, 907 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,440 Speaker 1: like they do this because it puts a halt to 908 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,080 Speaker 1: like any kind of existing litigation, and then they have 909 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: like an opportunity to like have like a larger settlement 910 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 1: for all the people that have sued in like one 911 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 1: final resolution. But again, this is very similar to the 912 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: same thing that USA Gymnastics and certain diocese have done. 913 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's wild to think that this thing 914 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 1: has been around for a hundred years. Basically is because 915 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,479 Speaker 1: the weights on your your Derby cars kind of looked 916 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: like testicles. I don't want I don't remember. I never 917 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 1: Derby cars, but I don't I don't remember. The little 918 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 1: counterweights you would have to put in them looked like testicles. 919 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: The original truck nuts they were yes, pine nuts. And 920 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 1: then I just remember, like, isn't my class you're doing it? 921 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 1: Like they always had graphite dust or some ship they 922 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 1: were using. I'm like, what the funk are you making? 923 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: They were dust fingerprints, right, they were getting their cold 924 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: case badge. They was that one of the merit bad 925 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,480 Speaker 1: as you could get. Yes, yeah, we'll shout out to 926 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: the Eagle Scouts. Have a few friends who did that. 927 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you do with that now it's 928 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,720 Speaker 1: retro actually taken from them. Yeah. Um well, ship Andy, 929 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: it has been a pleasure having you. Man. Where can 930 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 1: people find you? Follow you here?
