Speaker 1: Wow, I get shockered.
Speaker 2: It's been twenty years.
Speaker 3: By the one dick. Wow. That's pretty impressive and strange,
Speaker 3: but kind of.
Speaker 2: It's also studied with like an std from like two
Speaker 2: thousand and four that we never investigate.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, yeah, runs ruins the marriage to ask questions.
Speaker 2: We had that for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: That's just an added feature, exactly. Pretty great, that's pretty great.
Speaker 3: All Right, we're going to get to know you a
Speaker 3: little bit better in the moment. First, we're going to
Speaker 3: tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
Speaker 3: We're gonna check in with a couple of the Blame
Speaker 3: Game Democrat articles, and we're going to talk about brain
Speaker 3: rot being Oxford's word of the Year sectionary brain rot. Yes,
Speaker 3: and uh. And we'll also check the my Cheryl Hines,
Speaker 3: who is cool and good and we love her, don't we, folks?
Speaker 3: All of that plenty more. But first, are we do
Speaker 3: like to ask our guests what is something from your
Speaker 3: search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay?
Speaker 2: I was looking up Lassie.
Speaker 3: Lassie like mass like the drink. Okay, yeah, because I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: my whiteness got in the way there. I was like,
Speaker 3: she's saying someone stuck in the old mind shaft.
Speaker 2: I my daughter, who's a toddler.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I know, maybe.
Speaker 2: She randomly out of nowhere, grabbed a glass of water,
Speaker 2: grabbed her yogurt and poured yogurt into the water and
Speaker 2: mixed it and drank it.
Speaker 3: Oh ship, okay, genius over here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she and she just made herself a lassie that
Speaker 2: and is that?
Speaker 3: What is that? What a lassie is exactly? I mean
Speaker 3: I know it's yogurt, yogurt mixed with water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean it's that's the base, and then
Speaker 2: you based off you know, culture and also preferences, you
Speaker 2: mix it with others. So I was like, what kinds
Speaker 2: of losses are out there? Because the Persian lassy is
Speaker 2: just like yogurt and salt, and it's like usually carbonated water, a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of egg cream no egg Yeah, there's a
Speaker 3: drink called egg Creams that's just chocolate milk mixed with
Speaker 3: carbonated water and everybody thinks it's going to be.
Speaker 1: Delicious and it usually actually Yeah, I remember the first
Speaker 1: time I bought that at a supermarket as a kid,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, this is gonna be good.
Speaker 3: What kind of boomer poison? Is this one of the
Speaker 3: great names that over promises so fucking hard? Yeah, is like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, is this gonna be like a Cabaret
Speaker 3: cream egg.
Speaker 2: It's a way to get your protein.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like someone who worked at an ice cream
Speaker 1: shop burned into your mouth.
Speaker 3: It really seems like an accident. It seems like what
Speaker 3: the thing you do where you like try mixing milk
Speaker 3: with various things. Six years old?
Speaker 2: That yeah, yeah, she's just straight up was like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do yogurt.
Speaker 3: Invented the mango lass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean there's no mango because the Persian,
Speaker 2: the South Asian diaspora has the mango lossy.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: But then I was like, wait, so what region? So
Speaker 2: then I was like googling, Yeah, rose loss That's why
Speaker 2: I found like rose losties and cart of mom lassis
Speaker 2: and mango lost season. But then Persian is like salty
Speaker 2: mint lossy.
Speaker 1: So everyone's got their yogurt water turn up drink. You
Speaker 1: turn up on it. But you know, it's a nice
Speaker 1: it's a fun drink.
Speaker 3: It was fast. Yeah. My children just had their first
Speaker 3: experience with a pina colada this past Thanksgiving, and there
Speaker 3: they can't get enough, like Dominican or Puerto Rican. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the dark spice drum yeah, okay cool, Yeah, Hey, it's
Speaker 3: good for them then enjoy it and Daddy gets a
Speaker 3: little break, you know.
Speaker 2: Because they're drunk and they're wasted.
Speaker 3: Well they go up somewhere Appleton when they're drunk. They're
Speaker 3: legally not my problem. What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Okay, the leaf Blower Cartel.
Speaker 3: Go on, what do you mean? Those are just dream
Speaker 3: nothing nothing there?
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to need you to investigate and
Speaker 2: really look into this. Okay, you can't you. I found
Speaker 2: out that there's this whole process to how leaf blowers
Speaker 2: get hired, and that like you can't cancel a leaf blow?
Speaker 3: What do you mean can't cancel a leaf blow?
Speaker 2: So, like I looked into this because they're everywhere, and
Speaker 2: they're all the time, and even when there's like a
Speaker 2: storm and wind like crazy wind, they're still leaf blowing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just out there battling the elements, facing down
Speaker 3: a windstorm with a leaf blow.
Speaker 2: Way why and like even during the wildfires. I mean,
Speaker 2: this might be a specifically California problem. But this is
Speaker 2: what I want to find out, This is what I
Speaker 2: want to know. My podcast, leaf Blower Cartel is going
Speaker 2: to dive in.
Speaker 3: Just open.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid.
Speaker 1: Okay, a lot of people have tried this idea is
Speaker 1: are I told you off, Mike, A lot of people
Speaker 1: got too close to the l C.
Speaker 2: I'd be lying a fight and say it was a
Speaker 2: little bit scared.
Speaker 3: Yeah you should be. You should be.
Speaker 1: Then then you know the task ahead of you. And
Speaker 1: nobody's fucking with LBC like that, not even.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna quit.
Speaker 1: Yeah wait, but I don't understand like you're saying that,
Speaker 1: you like, don't what doesn't that something gardeners do? People
Speaker 1: higher specific leaf blowing.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is much like one of those things where
Speaker 2: like you can't there there's like a contract in place,
Speaker 2: and they're.
Speaker 3: Like sacred packed is what we call it.
Speaker 2: But that's why I think it's a cartel, because the
Speaker 2: douple of power. There's so much power. We can't get
Speaker 2: rid of the leaf blowers. I mean even to the
Speaker 2: degree that like they couldn't remember how hard it was
Speaker 2: to get rid of the diesel exhaust emitting leaf blower
Speaker 2: for like the battery powered.
Speaker 3: Shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's still that battle still rages in LA where
Speaker 1: they're like most most people they're like yeah, all right, asshole,
Speaker 1: more on that later.
Speaker 3: I'm still using the gas one.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make any sense. And
Speaker 2: I think corruption.
Speaker 3: It's got that like same thing. Have you ever smelled
Speaker 3: a wave runner like that? It like smells like both
Speaker 3: gasoline twice in the last.
Speaker 2: It's bad for everybody. It's bad for the guys working
Speaker 2: it because the sound and there are sinuses and they're like,
Speaker 2: you know, they're not having a good time.
Speaker 1: I think that there was a lot of pushback on
Speaker 1: those ordinances in LA because they're like, to switch technology
Speaker 1: is like a lot of money, and you're asking people
Speaker 1: that already make very little money from doing gardening to
Speaker 1: like suddenly be like, all right, well not going to
Speaker 1: throw this thing out and buy this new thing that
Speaker 1: also works as well.
Speaker 3: There's always I always see this.
Speaker 2: I thought it was like State. Wasn't it like State?
Speaker 1: There could be I just know some like parts of
Speaker 1: the city, like certain parts of like you know, the
Speaker 1: unincorporated cities of LA will go harder on these kinds
Speaker 1: of things, like in Santa Monica or like Pasadena or something.
Speaker 3: Going to be electric.
Speaker 1: No, it probably does cut down on pollution.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to, you know, ruin the
Speaker 2: little man's you knows that could just be covered for
Speaker 2: this cartel livelihood. I don't want to fuck with their equipment.
Speaker 2: I just want to end the entire practice and industry
Speaker 2: and put them all out of a job.
Speaker 3: Thank you, but not the little guys. They can remain.
Speaker 3: Everyone else. You're gone.
Speaker 2: For the California laborer.
Speaker 3: And while I'm at it, those little scanning guns at
Speaker 3: the grocery store can go get fucked. Okay, those should
Speaker 3: be illegal. I don't want to hear that beep noise anymore. Ye.
Speaker 3: Leaf flowers are a lot of a lot of exhaust.
Speaker 3: Like you can like smell them from a long ways away.
Speaker 3: You can hear them from a long ways away, and
Speaker 3: they do seem to just be spreading, spreading shit like
Speaker 3: from one person's yard into another. They're like, yeah, well
Speaker 3: we have the leaf blower, so now these are your leaves.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: The funniest part is like I'll be riding my bike
Speaker 1: and there'll be someone like leaf blowing like all the
Speaker 1: shit off of someone's like yard and into the street,
Speaker 1: and inevitably, I fucking like I'm in fucking dune or
Speaker 1: some ship in a leaf blower storm, and I'm just
Speaker 1: taking full blung breaths of that ship. I'm like, could
Speaker 1: you wait two seconds for my bike to pass through
Speaker 1: this ship?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Just eyes that don't open anymore. Yeah, right, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to give up. You are, you are marked,
Speaker 3: You're They're they're gonna take notice of you. The LBC.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm more worried about the LBC than I
Speaker 1: am the Trump administration, to be honest, And I feel
Speaker 1: bad saying that on Mike because I don't want to
Speaker 1: reveal the power of the leaf floor cartel.
Speaker 3: But I don't want to be associated with Zara. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying I'm on your side. Damn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Can I just say something off the record. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm a huge coward.
Speaker 3: For I chose the wrong Let me get up.
Speaker 2: Under gun.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, you sound like someone's good. You ever try
Speaker 3: this stuff?
Speaker 1: Sound like a Democrat who's just been elected to the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, I know, I said all that stuff
Speaker 3: on the way here, I'm like a big coward, big time.
Speaker 3: I won't stand on any of that ship. I said.
Speaker 3: By the way, have you ever tried a leaf blower?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Do I need to?
Speaker 2: Is it like a gun?
Speaker 3: It's like a gun? Yeah, it is. It's a great
Speaker 3: feeling to just feel like you're an entire yard out
Speaker 3: like I.
Speaker 2: Don't need to because I've got twenty years of husband, Dick.
Speaker 3: You're you're compensating, Jack, I got yeah, constantly peeling the
Speaker 3: label off my drinks and going into the backyard and
Speaker 3: just go nuts with the leaf blower holding it between
Speaker 3: my legs, blast to the leaves from one side of
Speaker 3: the yard to the other. Hot. It is a lot
Speaker 3: of fun. I mean, one of the things. So I
Speaker 3: don't we don't have a gas power bone. We have
Speaker 3: a plug in one and you can you turn it
Speaker 3: meet Yes, me too, that's probably not It was pronounced
Speaker 3: in me too, brute, Me too, brute one brutus got canceled,
Speaker 3: me too, brute audience. But when you can leave the
Speaker 3: switch on and then plug it in and the thing
Speaker 3: just due to you know, jet propulsion will just like
Speaker 3: fly across the art, it's kind of fun. Fun for
Speaker 3: the kids, fun for the kids. And that is basically
Speaker 3: my only aim. What is Zara something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm really not going to make friends today. Instagram horoscopes, m.
Speaker 3: And now you've pissed me off. Go on, what I changed?
Speaker 1: My mind, I'm a coward again.
Speaker 3: You guys hate them? Yeah, you love them.
Speaker 2: I love them too, except that they're bullshit. Okay, here's
Speaker 2: what Instagram this this kind of makes me a little
Speaker 2: bit like all right, we're all like I'll see activists
Speaker 2: that are like so hardcore, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: But they're like, whole platform is Instagram and I'm like,
Speaker 2: do you know who runs it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Just the dissonance of like, yeah, the platform that's you're using.
Speaker 2: And I mean not because it's evil. I mean, of
Speaker 2: course there's that, but like everything's tied to evil nowadays
Speaker 2: because of all the monopolies, right, so it's like impossible
Speaker 2: to circumvent evil, but because of how activism is derailed
Speaker 2: and controlled with echo chambering and careful pocketing, Like what
Speaker 2: are we doing? You know what I mean? Like it's
Speaker 2: the dissemination of information on this platform. They are watching
Speaker 2: and making sure that you don't do anything really.
Speaker 1: Useful, right, that it's not getting outside of like accounts
Speaker 1: of like ematically convert. You're not going to convert any
Speaker 1: of these people, and it's not going to be fed
Speaker 1: to people that could potentially interact with this information.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and there isn't any kind of like activism that
Speaker 2: I'm seeing. I mean, not no kind, but there isn't
Speaker 2: a kind that is accessible to folks out there that
Speaker 2: that is something else other than like sub stack honestly,
Speaker 2: where you can like reach your own crew and not
Speaker 2: be sort of shepherded by algorithms that are already being
Speaker 2: paid a ton of money by conservative parties to make
Speaker 2: sure that you don't actually create any meaningful change. And
Speaker 2: there's so much biometric data that Instagram is able to
Speaker 2: function off of, from reading how your face flushes, to
Speaker 2: your pupils dilating, to also being able to listen to
Speaker 2: your pulse and your breath. And this biometric data has
Speaker 2: been available and getting better since, Like I think it's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, the when I first heard about it
Speaker 2: was twenty nineteen, so I know it's longer than that, right,
Speaker 2: And then people will see horoscopes that are like so
Speaker 2: specifically catered to them and feel like astrology is like
Speaker 2: so you know, it's surreally clairvoyantly accurate, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: that's your fucking algorithm at work, man. Instagram is on
Speaker 2: top of its shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, god, AI is the one thing is like this
Speaker 3: is going to be the thing that AI is good for.
Speaker 3: What are we going to do when we get harder
Speaker 3: pairing with the algorithm and do it and like telling
Speaker 3: you exactly what you want to hear, exactly what you.
Speaker 2: Want to hear. Yeah, Like you just got off an
Speaker 2: angry text exchange with a friend and you're pissed off,
Speaker 2: and then now you're on Instagram scrolling and like it
Speaker 2: tells you, you know, are you in an abusive relationship?
Speaker 2: And it like you know, gives you everything you need
Speaker 2: to feel reinforced and validated and to spike up your BP. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, and then you get handed that horoscope that's
Speaker 2: like this is a time for you to ghost and
Speaker 2: disconnect and do.
Speaker 3: You right right right? Yeah, cut off all your friends
Speaker 3: who are not me Instagram.
Speaker 2: And then meanwhile, the rise of fascism, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that your horoscope on Instagram is just a
Speaker 2: tool of fascism.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think the writing was on the
Speaker 1: wall when people were like, you know, you have to
Speaker 1: go in your settings on Instagram to like make sure
Speaker 1: you're seeing like political content because by defense for a
Speaker 1: lot of people, Yeah, it's just like remember, remember that's
Speaker 1: what's happening there. And I think people, you know, even
Speaker 1: looking at like Twitter, same thing was happening too, where
Speaker 1: they very much were like people were just talking to
Speaker 1: each other and thinking there was other engagement. I think
Speaker 1: it's the same way. Like you see like liberals too
Speaker 1: be like what the heck happened? It seemed all fine,
Speaker 1: everything was going great according to this like algorithmically curated
Speaker 1: feed I was looking at every day, but.
Speaker 2: Okay, real talk. My views in stories went from five thousand,
Speaker 2: four thousand, two thousand floating up in there to eleven.
Speaker 1: Yeah when I.
Speaker 3: Started, Yeah, a lot of people's yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: When they instituted the quote unquote political censoring right in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, that was supposed to be because of
Speaker 2: the capital that was supposed to be targeted at white
Speaker 2: supremacists that were trying to kill Congress people. Right, but
Speaker 2: you know, here I am with like seven views and
Speaker 2: then now with shadow banning and any talk about Palestine,
Speaker 2: like forget it.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, I feel like that is a
Speaker 3: pretty common experience these days across a lot of social.
Speaker 2: Media that's not what I'm complaining about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the horoscopes first.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I do think, yeah, I think this is
Speaker 3: probably underrated and it will continue to be underrated for
Speaker 3: all of Like I've talked before about the inventor of
Speaker 3: the loudspeaker blamed himself for the rise of fascism in
Speaker 3: the thirties, which seems ridiculous to us now because we're like, what,
Speaker 3: like why would that have contributed to it? But it's
Speaker 3: like when a technology comes along that brings us things
Speaker 3: that were like not prepared for, that we haven't like
Speaker 3: been able to like mentally like remap our brains around people,
Speaker 3: Like there's chaos and people can get away with a
Speaker 3: lot of fucked up shit. I do feel like.
Speaker 2: The other thing, Oh no, you didn't finish, please finish.
Speaker 3: That was just good. I do feel like we are
Speaker 3: in an age where technology is moving so fast and
Speaker 3: we don't quite know how to how to deal and
Speaker 3: so this is, right, another rise of fashions. All right, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 3: go on.
Speaker 2: Thank you, I will Furthermore I would like to say,
Speaker 2: is you just have to listen to me?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, thanks, yeah, but your shadow band I don't
Speaker 1: even see none of your stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: God damn it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, come over like Maga Angel nineteen or seventeen seventy six,
Speaker 1: and then maybe your content.
Speaker 3: That's kind of fun.
Speaker 2: So there's actually a study that came out about cognition,
Speaker 2: like are not cognition, but like our cognitive ability as
Speaker 2: a nation has significantly decreased. And the way that we
Speaker 2: used to say, I mean, surprise years of Betsy Devas,
Speaker 2: here we are, and we used to say, like, you know,
Speaker 2: are you smarter than a fifth grader? But now like
Speaker 2: the national level is about third grade, right, yeah. And
Speaker 2: one of the things that comes with that is our
Speaker 2: inability to to do algebra in our head, like mental algebra,
Speaker 2: not like literal algebra, but like being able to think
Speaker 2: about systems and not just one for one. Everything is
Speaker 2: like who did this to me? You did this to me?
Speaker 2: It's like blame game, pointing fingers, and there's no conversation
Speaker 2: about like systems, about the algorithm that we all house
Speaker 2: our conversations on, regardless of its politics or ours.
Speaker 3: You know, right anyway, Yeah, I do feel like we're
Speaker 3: being actively deceived by like vast, very sophisticated systems.
Speaker 2: And there's like an a yago in our head all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't I don't think it's a irrevocable like
Speaker 3: change the way like when people compare us to idiocracy,
Speaker 3: it's like I feel like the culture is pushing as
Speaker 3: in one direction, and a lot of technologies are pushing
Speaker 3: as in one direction. But I don't think that like
Speaker 3: humanity by design has just like gotten dumber like that.
Speaker 3: The brain hasn't changed in millennia. It's not gonna it's
Speaker 3: not changing right now. It's I don't think we have
Speaker 3: brain rot. But what a great transition to the next act.
Speaker 3: Holy shit, Wow, we're gonna take a quick break and
Speaker 3: then we're going to come back and we'll talk about
Speaker 3: continue talking about all this ship. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And we're back. We're back and miles like once a week.
Speaker 3: We like to gird ourselves and just take another peek
Speaker 3: back into the Democratic Party, the mainstream media, all all
Speaker 3: the places where people are like, wait, what happened did
Speaker 3: this to us? Who did this to us? Us? The
Speaker 3: people that control the hot dog suit guy? Yeah, who
Speaker 3: did this? I mean yeah?
Speaker 1: The finger point tingfest continues for Democrats. Most of the
Speaker 1: pieces again I read doing varying degrees of like the
Speaker 1: progressives fucked us, and then like the more I guess
Speaker 1: like sort of balanced ones are like was it the
Speaker 1: progressives that fucked us?
Speaker 3: This kind of like the total difference.
Speaker 1: But there's a piece in Vox specifically that speaks like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like some Harris campaign saffers other Democrats
Speaker 1: and things like that, and they're all like, we didn't
Speaker 1: lose because anything we did, it's because of the groups.
Speaker 3: As they say, this is now the like did like
Speaker 3: a lot of people talk about the.
Speaker 1: Groups, meaning progressive activists, Like even they're even talking about
Speaker 1: like Planned parenthood or the ACLU.
Speaker 3: They're lumping into this shit.
Speaker 1: It's like it's the groups, man, that are just making
Speaker 1: us do all this stuff to like they're pulling us
Speaker 1: to the left. And I guess they were just saying,
Speaker 1: like in this election, they just listened too much them.
Speaker 1: This is one of the paragraphs in this box piece quote.
Speaker 1: And of course Harris lost. How much blame, if any,
Speaker 1: the groups should get for that has become a matter
Speaker 1: of intense debate. Progressive group defenders point out that Harris
Speaker 1: tried to pivot to the center and that the Biden
Speaker 1: administration's record on inflation and immigration were her two biggest vulnerabilities.
Speaker 1: The group's critics say Harris's group influenced positions from the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty primary, weighed her down, and Democrats ran into
Speaker 1: political trouble on inflation and immigration in part because of
Speaker 1: the group's bad advice. So they took like so many
Speaker 1: of these thoughts or ideas are so disconnected. Like one
Speaker 1: was like, it's because of what she said in the past.
Speaker 1: Was I guess what they were trying to say. It
Speaker 1: was like she got too influenced by the groups in
Speaker 1: her past. So then that gave Republicans the sort of
Speaker 1: ammunition to run on their attack ads. Again, you didn't
Speaker 1: take anyone's fucking advice, because if you look at what
Speaker 1: was actually proposed or even articulated in the Democratic platform,
Speaker 1: you took fragments of ideas that made you look but
Speaker 1: potentially like change agents, but didn't follow through on the
Speaker 1: actual change part. So I think that's the most crucial
Speaker 1: part of all this dumb fucking analysis that isn't being
Speaker 1: talked about, was like we just took their advice. It's
Speaker 1: like the well did they and to what extent and
Speaker 1: to what extent, were they actually following through on the
Speaker 1: things that the groups were saying we're gonna benefit people
Speaker 1: or motivate people. It's like the Democrats are saying, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we get it. You're saying that genocide is bad, and
Speaker 1: then secretly like, we will continue to arm Israel.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine. Or you're saying, okay, we get it.
Speaker 1: Saying that immigrants are part of this country and deserve
Speaker 1: the respect of being offered a pathway to citizenship.
Speaker 3: I guess that will motivate people.
Speaker 1: And then in the shadows you're rebranding is like Kirkland
Speaker 1: signature nativists, Like what in what fucking world did they
Speaker 1: take any of this advice? So again, the final sentence
Speaker 1: I think is interesting, he said, quote the groups might
Speaker 1: not be so effective at winning Democrats votes, but they
Speaker 1: still might be able to drive some away. Now wow,
Speaker 1: well told all right, status Quo defended those grips.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just I just love how like like media outlets
Speaker 1: are like able to be like let's try and understand
Speaker 1: the mind of a racist homophobe and normalize that, but
Speaker 1: again uncompletely unable to contend with like I like sort
Speaker 1: of explaining something that's remotely progressive, and how that would
Speaker 1: actually be beneficial without having to always like sour those articles,
Speaker 1: like and a lot of experts who are you know,
Speaker 1: mile like years beyond their primes are saying this is
Speaker 1: actually really bad and we should listen to them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the fact that they changed their positions on
Speaker 3: those things from twenty twenty like suggest that you are
Speaker 3: trying them on as a costume that you think might
Speaker 3: fool people get. Which is the Democratic Party's problem is
Speaker 3: that they, you know, also the establishment Republican Party before
Speaker 3: Trump came along, like they were willing to say whatever
Speaker 3: it seemed like was going to get them the votes,
Speaker 3: and that people became caught onto that decades ago and
Speaker 3: no longer are going to fall for that shit. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Even so, there's this podcast from Ezra Kline on The
Speaker 3: New York Times where he interviewed Bernie's twenty twenty campaign manager,
Speaker 3: and the podcast is called like would Bernie Have Won?
Speaker 3: And you know, it's trying to get at these big
Speaker 3: conversations because the Democratic Party seems split between the idea
Speaker 3: of like should they be should they have been more progressive?
Speaker 3: And like had convictions and stuck to them. I would
Speaker 3: argue yes, or should they have actually should they just
Speaker 3: like give up on ever having convictions and just continue
Speaker 3: to try on whatever voters seemed to want and in
Speaker 3: this case, just like you know, try and become Republicans,
Speaker 3: which seems to be the solution. That seems to be
Speaker 3: the solution the mainstream media is going to go with.
Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't seem it is. It's what they're
Speaker 3: going to go with. It's what the candidate that they're
Speaker 3: all going to say is winning. Heading into like the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight primaries will be for and it's going
Speaker 3: to require like somebody to come out of nowhere and
Speaker 3: to actually just have like the courage of their convictions
Speaker 3: and like to like actually target the status quo in
Speaker 3: some way. But like even this person who was like
Speaker 3: Bernie's twenty twenty campaign manager, like he's still so thoroughly
Speaker 3: a strategist, Like he treats telling people that the system
Speaker 3: is rigged against them like it's like a martial arts move.
Speaker 3: He's like, now see, I'm walking you into it. Here
Speaker 3: are some stories specifically that I know are challenging in
Speaker 3: this modern economy, but that I have constructive solutions to.
Speaker 3: And then he's like, I'm gonna tell you the story
Speaker 3: up top, and then I'm gonna and it's just like,
Speaker 3: I don't know. It feels like they are treating again,
Speaker 3: like over complicating it and making it all part of
Speaker 3: like some strategy for deceiving people, as opposed to just
Speaker 3: being like having these main central convictions and not being
Speaker 3: able to like be shaken off of them just because
Speaker 3: you're being criticized by the New York Times. Like I
Speaker 3: think whoever or whatever this new position is, is going
Speaker 3: to have to open the conversation at like neoliberalism is
Speaker 3: the problem. Therefore the Democratic Party and the mainstream media
Speaker 3: are the problem. They are lying to you as our
Speaker 3: corporations and the wealthy, these are the bad guys. Every
Speaker 3: solution they raise needs to be viewed suspiciously because that
Speaker 3: is how people are viewing it now. But they also
Speaker 3: like talk about how Bernie Sanders in the most recent
Speaker 3: election like ran behind Harris, and I think that's actually instructoral,
Speaker 3: Like his support I think is waning because he has
Speaker 3: become part of like the mainstream Democratic Party, and like
Speaker 3: since like when people are talking about how like a
Speaker 3: leftist sort of anti establishment solution needs to be what
Speaker 3: people battle trump Ism with. I think it needs to
Speaker 3: be like twenty sixteen Bernie, and not like Bernie. First
Speaker 3: of all, not Bernie actual Bernie Sanders in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: eight when he's like ninety years old, but also like
Speaker 3: also not somebody who's like, I don't know, like he
Speaker 3: was also tainted by the fucking Biden ministry, and.
Speaker 1: He definitely would like things he was pretty vocal about
Speaker 1: would get pretty quiet about and you're like, what happened,
Speaker 1: yeah here, But again it's like the maneuvering of like
Speaker 1: anyone you know in the on the hill right now.
Speaker 1: But I think even then, like even like say neoliberal
Speaker 1: and like that's too far, that's too far for most people.
Speaker 1: I think when the easier thing is like billion it's
Speaker 1: built like we need to go after a billion it's billionaires, billionaires?
Speaker 2: Why are there so many billionaires?
Speaker 1: All roads lead back to bill y'all get that, right,
Speaker 1: y'all probably work for one and they're not sharing anything
Speaker 1: with you, right, we can all kind of.
Speaker 3: Like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And not only are they not sharing anything with us,
Speaker 2: I just found out recently that the way insurance is
Speaker 2: structured now your employer is the one that's opting out
Speaker 2: of certain out of network like practitioners, Your employer is
Speaker 2: the one making them out of network because they get
Speaker 2: a kickback.
Speaker 3: Yeah wow, Yeah. All health insurance is like part of
Speaker 3: this thing that I think people are innately like responding
Speaker 3: to in all these political scenarios where it's like it's
Speaker 3: intentionally complicated, it's intentionally designed to fuck you over by
Speaker 3: like making using it incredibly difficult, and the people who
Speaker 3: gain from it are corporations and extremely wealthy people. And
Speaker 3: then they're like this works for you, people like yah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, there's so many directions I could go
Speaker 3: with this, but like the I feel like we needed
Speaker 3: Bernie twenty sixteen back in two thousand and eight, right,
Speaker 3: you know, like the these the anti trust laws, like
Speaker 3: the monopolies, the amount of like data mining that's happening
Speaker 3: that like should be illegal, Like you should have to
Speaker 3: pay me for how much information you take from me.
Speaker 2: That used to be the case. You know, Like there's
Speaker 2: so many things that because of how rapidly technology is advancing,
Speaker 2: we just don't have regulation on. And then big business
Speaker 2: gets to be like, well if you regulate us, we out,
Speaker 2: you know, and then everybody scared, and at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, I feel like the average person is
Speaker 2: exhausted and broke right, you know, and and in need
Speaker 2: of medical care for them and their kids, and like
Speaker 2: you just want the person who's gonna make all of
Speaker 2: that go away. And I don't like I feel like
Speaker 2: to me, the thing that we point to and say,
Speaker 2: like you did this, the only person who should get
Speaker 2: that finger is the Democratic establishment. That was your job.
Speaker 2: Your job was to win. Like whatever reason you have,
Speaker 2: this is Monday night quarterbacking, it's too late. You were
Speaker 2: supposed to have the conversation with Biden sooner. You were
Speaker 2: supposed to get your candidate out there sooner, Like you
Speaker 2: were supposed to do this groundwork and get these quote
Speaker 2: unquote groups together. That's your job. Everyone else has a job.
Speaker 2: We all are trying to keep our jobs well, busting
Speaker 2: our asses. We got our kids, or we don't have kids,
Speaker 2: and we're trying to climb ladders who are just trying
Speaker 2: to keep our head afloat. You have one job, that's
Speaker 2: to get re elected. Nobody else has that job. It's you, ma'am.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's interesting.
Speaker 1: Even in that piece, that box piece in the end,
Speaker 1: They're like, but even though like the groups are kind
Speaker 1: of like the problem, it's like that it sort of
Speaker 1: admits like the Democrats need all of these groups like
Speaker 1: enthusiastic and energized to win elections.
Speaker 3: And you're like, well, what the fuck is this whole
Speaker 3: thing about? Like this one sentence convincing?
Speaker 2: I think you're talking about quote unquote these groups, right,
Speaker 2: but like it's like sixty percent of white men voted
Speaker 2: for Trump.
Speaker 3: Go after that.
Speaker 2: Grit, Like, why is the flame on like the four percent?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was the thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was saying like in the lead up
Speaker 1: to the election too, when there's all this hangar, like
Speaker 1: what are black men gonna do it? So I'm like,
Speaker 1: talk about white people, right, that's a bigger that's a
Speaker 1: numerically a bigger group that you need to contend with
Speaker 1: that can actually sway an election, rather than being like, well,
Speaker 1: we've given up on white supremacy and anything we can
Speaker 1: do about that or misogyny or whatever. So it's like,
Speaker 1: let's find these other people to sort of make the
Speaker 1: main actors. And to your point, also like like with
Speaker 1: our comprehension, it's all we're again, we're people blaming and
Speaker 1: not fucking system blaming.
Speaker 3: And that's right, and that's the thing.
Speaker 1: If we keep if we continue the cycle of people blaming,
Speaker 1: then the system continues to thrive. And then we that's
Speaker 1: that's what they want.
Speaker 3: That's the part we need to zoom out on.
Speaker 1: And I think that's Unfortunately the people that are in
Speaker 1: positions of power, that are the editors of these places
Speaker 1: and other things, they're like, bro, we're not doing any
Speaker 1: system blaming right now, come on the system.
Speaker 2: You know. This is where I get annoyed too, because,
Speaker 2: like the if what they're saying about all these like
Speaker 2: quote unquote groups you know, is like, you just want
Speaker 2: more democratic fascism. I'm on board. Do you just need us,
Speaker 2: the liberals, to be more fascist in our liberalness? Like, okay,
Speaker 2: we are all like, yeah, okay, I'm against antype blackness,
Speaker 2: all of us, given.
Speaker 3: You, Steve, But get fascist about making people to health
Speaker 3: care and birth control a law.
Speaker 2: If I was okay, we'd have more bart park game people.
Speaker 1: Would fucking love it, more barn parks.
Speaker 2: If I was a fascist dictator, we have less street parking,
Speaker 2: more parklets, more parklets. It's good for you.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, more bike lanes.
Speaker 2: Oh, hell more physical therapy that's covered in network and.
Speaker 1: Longer a podiatrist can be seen at a moment's notice. Man,
Speaker 1: have you man, her majesty wants to have to go
Speaker 1: to the podiatrist. That ship took so long for an
Speaker 1: in network peddietary like appointment. Yeah, it's like I think
Speaker 1: my like the ball of my foot's like cracked or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Man, if I was.
Speaker 2: A fascist dictator, we'd look at your pelvic floor.
Speaker 3: I would say, all that ship. But the second I
Speaker 3: get I've become a fascist dictator, I'm just all of
Speaker 3: the people who are ever mean to me start disappearing
Speaker 3: from pictures photo shopped out. Yeah. I don't even do
Speaker 3: anything to them, they just started. It's like back to
Speaker 3: the future, no longer in photos. Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 3: We'll come back and we will talk about brain rot.
Speaker 3: And we're back. We're back, and we are at the
Speaker 3: word of the year. Time of the year. I hope
Speaker 3: you had the time of your life, guys, because this
Speaker 3: is a fun one. This is what do we talk about.
Speaker 3: Last last week we had dictionary dot Com going with
Speaker 3: demure c plus guys. Oxford has announced its Word of
Speaker 3: the year, and it's brain rot mm, which is two words.
Speaker 3: Like they even acknowledge it's two words. There's a space
Speaker 3: in between. They didn't like trying one word, they did it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so try harder. I didn't go to Oxford, thankfully because
Speaker 3: they seem like fucking idiots. But they said five so.
Speaker 2: That it could be a word word out of words.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, barnit the okay the definition the supposed deterioration
Speaker 3: of a person's mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as
Speaker 3: the result of overcome assumption of material, now particularly online
Speaker 3: content considered to be trivialar unchallenging. So just a little background.
Speaker 3: Oxford in the past had words like climate emergency another
Speaker 3: two word, but more recently have gone with goblin mode
Speaker 3: and riz as their words of the year.
Speaker 1: You can almost map it out climate emergency, fuck it, goblin.
Speaker 2: Model is amazing.
Speaker 1: I like how even in that dictionary dot com like
Speaker 1: raw dogging was even like a finalist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck it, dude, just raw dog let's let it go. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's funny. A lot of people have been pointing
Speaker 3: out that actually brain rot was not first used this year.
Speaker 3: Was actually first used by Threau in what's that book
Speaker 3: Walden Walden Bond, where he criticizes society's tendency to devalue
Speaker 3: complex ideas and how this is part of a general
Speaker 3: decline in mental and intellectual effort. It leads him to ask,
Speaker 3: while England endeavors to cure the potato rot, well not
Speaker 3: any endeavor to cure the brain rot, which prevails so
Speaker 3: much more widely and fatally. Fucking bars dog sick sick burn. God,
Speaker 3: it was so easy to be a recorrect.
Speaker 2: But how am I gonna tell if I have brain rot?
Speaker 2: Is it like a stroke? You don't know? I feel
Speaker 2: challenged by everything I know.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, the safe Like I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've seen TikTok videos where someone will be like doing
Speaker 1: a recipe, but on top it'll be like some fucking
Speaker 1: mobile game or someone playing like you'll just see goo
Speaker 1: being stretched like on the margins and you're like, what
Speaker 1: is this? Like what am I looking at right now?
Speaker 1: Or even like the skibbity toilet stuff is pretty uh
Speaker 1: peak brain rot stuff too.
Speaker 3: You just don't understand art, But I just I do
Speaker 3: think it's funny that, in the context of the Oxford
Speaker 3: word a few years ago, being climate emergency, and now
Speaker 3: it's gone to riz and goblin mode that his definition
Speaker 3: was the devaluing complex ideas and how this is part
Speaker 3: of a general decline in mental and intellectual effort.
Speaker 2: But now now we know who won in the climate emergency,
Speaker 2: don't we?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, it's like did not it was the toilet
Speaker 3: man toilet Wait what climb emergency?
Speaker 1: What about scibit the Ohio? Now the Earth Earth Death?
Speaker 1: I don't know that show is about it. Brat is
Speaker 1: that Brat.
Speaker 3: Bratt was also on the I think actually Oxford, No,
Speaker 3: somebody did Bratt.
Speaker 1: I think it was Cambridge Cambridge Word of the Year
Speaker 1: with Bratt. Oh, no, Collins, the Collins diction.
Speaker 3: Cambridge's dictionary. Bratt Cambridge did manifest as in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but in that very passive way of just being like,
Speaker 1: if you think a thing, it'll happen, so quit your
Speaker 1: job and picture yourself living in Bali forever. And you're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: that's even the most charitable version. There's a little bit
Speaker 1: more work that has to go into that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean that that tracks. Let's just manifest our way out
Speaker 1: of Earth death.
Speaker 3: If you change the word from if you, if you
Speaker 3: put a new word in front of the secret, the
Speaker 3: book the secret. Right then it becomes it becomes okay again.
Speaker 2: See, even manifesting is a denial of systems. They go
Speaker 2: into play yeah when I'm right, I know, I'm right,
Speaker 2: I know I'm but.
Speaker 1: I mean I did manifest like like a free eight
Speaker 1: pack of Lacroix sparkling water.
Speaker 3: Did you really? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was like this just free and then like the
Speaker 1: UPC didn't work and I think the checkout person missed it.
Speaker 2: Wow, everything said.
Speaker 3: Manifested that ship anyway.
Speaker 1: But that's like the kind of stuff you see like
Speaker 1: people all the time, Like I used to work. There's
Speaker 1: a former coworker I had at like many jobs ago, who,
Speaker 1: like on Instagram, has completely changed their whole thing into
Speaker 1: being like a manifestor professional. Oh and they're just feeding
Speaker 1: people the most nonsense ideas, like they are independently wealthy,
Speaker 1: like they're they come from money, but they have this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but their whole thing is like look at all this
Speaker 1: shit I created with my mind. I'm like, you are
Speaker 1: a fucking snake oil provider right now?
Speaker 3: What is this? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, oh my god, I just I was
Speaker 1: feeling so like I needed to center myself. So I
Speaker 1: manifested this like amazing trip to go to to Wahaka
Speaker 1: or some shit. And you're like, you're not, like you
Speaker 1: didn't manifest this, like you just paid for this and
Speaker 1: you're living in a fantasy world.
Speaker 3: But anyway, he had.
Speaker 2: A friend come out of the trust fund closet with me,
Speaker 2: huh yeah, and I was like, dude, you made me
Speaker 2: split all our dinners?
Speaker 3: Is that how they came out? Were they like and
Speaker 3: just do you have this one? Or when does your
Speaker 3: trust fund payment come through? Is it at the beginning
Speaker 3: of the month?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: Wait? How did they trust out with being a trust
Speaker 3: fund kid?
Speaker 2: I can't remember what it was like. We were having
Speaker 2: a conversation and then they sort of like slipped it
Speaker 2: in there, and I was like, I think like we'd
Speaker 2: just like become closer friends. And then they mentioned it
Speaker 2: and I think they were asking me for like career
Speaker 2: advice or something like that.
Speaker 3: M like, I can't believe you think and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, we split this pie.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah wait, I should have known your last name is
Speaker 1: General Mills.
Speaker 3: You know that was an official designation in the Uh yeah,
Speaker 3: General Mills.
Speaker 2: I've got this brain rot and I missed these things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it, they all do.
Speaker 2: When your last name is Walgreens.
Speaker 1: Walgreens just the possessive too. I'm not David Walgreens with
Speaker 1: an apostrophe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah. She kind of.
Speaker 2: Noticed that your name on the check said CBS.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was like one of those
Speaker 1: things where people use initials to like shorten their first name,
Speaker 1: CBS Walgreens.
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes sense, all right, Well, speaking of snake
Speaker 3: oil sales, we do want to check in with Cheryl Hines.
Speaker 3: Of all the people in the world who should be
Speaker 3: able to pull off this role mm hmm, lovable wife
Speaker 3: of person who is a true fucking monster it, you know,
Speaker 3: and yet yeah, and yet and yeah.
Speaker 1: She's dude, she's like a social roach, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Any other person being married to RFK Junior,
Speaker 1: you'd think they would be like in a.

Speaker 3: Where can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff?
Speaker 2: Leading the fascist democratic movement behind Nancy Pelosi? There you go,
Speaker 2: she's a nice I was a fascist dictator. You would
Speaker 2: find me. It's a comedy dot com dot com dot com.
Speaker 3: Wow, beautiful, Is there a work of media that you've
Speaker 3: been enjoying?
Speaker 2: Okay, I sent it to Miles.
Speaker 3: Yes it is.
Speaker 2: It's a white man, one of the good ones. Should
Speaker 2: we listen to what he has to say?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you want to set it up? This is
Speaker 1: just called why young men are turning Republican? And the
Speaker 1: other things is it's no secret why white men? I
Speaker 1: think this is just the caption or the closed captioning.
Speaker 5: It's no secret that young white men voted disproportionately Republican
Speaker 5: in this past election cycle.
Speaker 3: And that's not new.
Speaker 5: That's a continuation of a trend that's been going on
Speaker 5: for quite a few years. But I want to talk
Speaker 5: about a few things that I think really ramped it
Speaker 5: up recently. The first one is the self improved industry
Speaker 5: slash gym culture in general.
Speaker 3: Right, so these things have.
Speaker 5: Skyrocketing popularity since twenty nineteen twenty twenty. I think TikTok
Speaker 5: has played a major role in that. But they focus
Speaker 5: heavily on individualism, and they kind of reshape your worldview
Speaker 5: to think that, you know, everyone needs to pull themselves
Speaker 5: up by your bootstraps. You're the only one that can
Speaker 5: make a changing life, and you know when it comes
Speaker 5: to your your own personal health. Yeah, that's right, But
Speaker 5: you can't apply that standard to society at large because
Speaker 5: everybody has their own disadvantages, everybody's coming from different backgrounds,
Speaker 5: and when you become entrenched in predominantly male spaces, whether
Speaker 5: it's the gym or a jiu jitsu class or whatever,
Speaker 5: you're not gonna make a lot of friends who are women.
Speaker 3: That's just the way it is.
Speaker 5: And even if it's something that's more equal, like a
Speaker 5: running club, a lot of guys join those with the
Speaker 5: presupposition that they're gonna meet someone to hook up with,
Speaker 5: so they're just backpocketing every girl that they meet. It
Speaker 5: is so immensely important to have friends who are women,
Speaker 5: whether you're single or relationship because if not, thank you,
Speaker 5: the only time that you're ever interacting with women is
Speaker 5: non platonically and with the intention of trying to hook up,
Speaker 5: then that reinforces the patriarchal notion that women are only
Speaker 5: objects of desire for men, and that you get actual people.
Speaker 3: Damn well done, well said. I was not saying that
Speaker 3: as a young man.
Speaker 2: I mean, everything is about how guys get put in
Speaker 2: a friend zone, you know, and it's like, yeah, how
Speaker 2: about you be friends?
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone, but that's a zone I don't want to
Speaker 3: be in. My will please help Miles. Where can people

Speaker 1: me onto this rock band called Elephant Tree, and there's
Speaker 1: an album called The Long Forever that recently came out. Specifically,
Speaker 1: the track I want to call out is called four
Speaker 1: for two. The number four f O R two like
Speaker 1: you're getting four for two, and it's I don't know.

Speaker 1: like Soundgarden audio Slave kind of stuff.
