WEBVTT - Robert Finally Watches Patriot And Other News 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.120 Welcome to Worst Year Ever, A production of I Heart 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:24.520 Radio Get Everything. So don Jesus Christ the praise Him. 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:30.280 Have you guys seen Righteous Gemstones Salvation of the West. 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.120 I had to plug in my headphones, so there's probably 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.280 gonna be some weird reverb there for a second for people, 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.040 But we love us some Jesus and yeah, the Righteous Jimstones. 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.560 I watched the first season. I know that more has happened. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:47.000 I thought, I thought the first season was good. I like, obviously, uh, 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.960 I'm I'm a huge fan of a number of members 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.160 of the cast, including the guy from Workaholics and the 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.360 guy from The Big Lebowski, of whose names I have 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:03.360 completely forgotten, even though legitimate love and divine or divine 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:08.280 or whatever. And m John shit Goodman, John Goodman. Jesus, 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.880 I saw a man that looks John Goodman my whole childhood. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.360 How did I do? Yeah? I saw someone who looked 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.400 so much like John Goodman yesterday and I walked up 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.520 to him and I was gonna say, IM just grateful 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.840 for your work. And I walked up and stopped because 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.759 it was not John Goodman. And I thought, this man, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:34.720 this man must get this all the time. You he 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.960 knew he must have. I mean, you know the fun 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.039 thing about that is, if real John Goodman, if I 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.080 had a chance to walk up to him, I would 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.319 just walk up Tim and I would extend my hand 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.320 and I would ask him if he had any cocaine. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.040 Do you remember that movie with Denzel where he placed 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.800 Denzel's drug dealer and Denzel's like like the like Sully 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.040 the Pilot, but a drug addict, and it's there's I 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.680 don't know what the movie's name was, but there's a 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.880 pretty cool scene where John Goodman walks into a room 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.760 with a sack full of drugs to sympathy for the devil, 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.680 and it's it kind of rules. That's the movie itself 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.920 pretty forgettable. But John Goodman as like a coach dealer 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:23.920 was Let's watch it. I just rewatched movie just that scene. Okay, yeah, Cody, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.160 alright I did. I did rewatch The Big Lebowski recently. Yeah. 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:34.640 Still an absolutely perfect film in everywey We'll never have 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:40.400 notes um, John Goodman, it's a it's a an astonishing 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.720 crime that John Goodman didn't receive an Oscar for his 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.519 Jenny Oscars, because he is unbelievably talented. He's so good. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.799 He's good in everything he does. Did you guys ever 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.360 watch that show Alpha House where he's like one of 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.320 a Republican senator with a bunch of other Republican senators 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.399 living in like a rental house in d C. He's 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.960 quite good in it. Yeah, it's very funny. It was 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.320 a lot funnier before, um, but he was very good 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.320 in it. Yeah. Yeah, was a real killer for anything 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:16.880 in that arena. Um, Robert, we're talking about entertainment, and 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:25.600 I took your advice, Katie, which exposing a series of penises. So, okay, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.040 this is not my fault, right, this is not my fault. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.760 It's a little it's a little bit your fa This 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.800 is your fault because I've been saying this for motherfucking years. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.160 It was your choice to watch it and then pause 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:43.080 it on that scene when so mother were over, let 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:48.040 me explain to you. I was watching Patriot as you've been, 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.560 as you've been harassing me to do for weeks, and 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.880 of course after the first from the first episode, I 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.880 was hooked. It's very good, it's incredible, it's very very 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.200 h So I watched through like season. I literally stay 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.880 up the first night I start watching it, I stay 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.760 U until like eight in the morning, watching all of 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.640 season one, and then like I'm kind of I'm kind 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.480 of like fucked. I got pretty drunk too, and so 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.240 the next day I was kind of hungover, get a 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.080 late start, have to pull a bunch of stumps out, 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:13.840 so I only make it through like an episode and 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.280 a half that night before I'm like, I'm just gonna 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.839 pass out. So I do the thing that I normally 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.320 do when I'm alone in my house, but I want 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.600 to go to sleep, where I leave the TV on 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.039 as I get up to brush my teeth and get 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.760 out my cont do all the all the all the 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.200 stuff so that I have some comforting sounds going on 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.720 in the next room, but I'm not watching it. And 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.440 so like when I'm done and ready for bed, I 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.640 just walk in and I closed the laptop that's attached 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.880 to my TV. Don't think about what's on the screen. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.080 I'll restart the episode when I come to watch again. 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.800 So the next day, so Be and her mom come 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.120 in from out of town. We're hanging out, show them 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.880 the farm. Everything's good, everything's nice, and then we sit 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.120 down and as we're sitting down, you know we're gonna 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.400 eat some Thai food together, hang out with you know, 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.839 all my my my friends, uh and chat. I decide 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.080 what do we do when we have our friends over 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.120 and we want to talk. Obviously, we turn the audience 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.400 the sound off on our TV and we put on 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.440 the movie Roar, which is a film from the nineteen 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.440 seventies where Tippy Hedron and her family get repeatedly mauled 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.600 by actual lions. None of it's fake. They're horribly injured. 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.120 Her leg is broken by an elephant. A quick sidebar, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.200 because this we'll talk about. Let me finish the Patriot 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.919 story and we'll talk about Roar. So i'm i'm I 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.400 turn on my laptop and the TV to put on Roar. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.720 And of course, when you are like me and you're 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.080 lazy about everything media, if you just like put your 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.719 laptop into sleep while it's playing something, when it comes 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.800 out of sleep, it's going to immediately start playing whatever 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.120 you had on. Now in the show Patriot, this won't 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.640 be revealing much. A big chunk of it takes place 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:50.440 at this like piping company in the Midwest, and they're 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.480 regularly taking trips over to Europe um and so they'll 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.880 have these scenes right before they go to the airport 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.560 where all of the main cast are like lined up 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.279 at a series of urinals talking and it's just like 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.000 a thing that they do. It's kind of a fun bit. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.280 A lot of stuff, like you know, important plot points 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.960 happen when they're chatting at the urinals. And in season 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.560 two they decided to do this scene from the perspective 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:14.400 of everybody's dick, so you actually like see the penises 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.480 of everybody in the scene. I was unaware this had 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.200 started happening because again I had been away from the 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.280 TV when this part had been playing, and I hadn't 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.479 looked at the screen. My contacts were out. So it 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.159 comes back on and as I'm explaining what the movie 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.080 Roar is to Sophie and her mom, they immediately see 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:36.520 on screen just a bunch of strangers hogs. So that's 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:41.240 thank you, thank you for that. And Robert's texting, they 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.520 were our text thread this week about what we're going 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.560 to talk about today, just just laying into me about 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:52.560 how I traumaized Sophie's mother when I bear no responsibility 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.160 for this. Although that's just so funny because then my 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.280 first thought was like, oh gosh, what dicks were they 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.799 were they corporate dicks, where they Brazilian jiu jitsu dicks. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.840 Where they was the corporate dicks. Yeah, it was like, 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.800 I'm not gonna make comments about circumcision. Yeah, your nay, 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.720 but there's a lot of interesting circumcision related things that 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.400 you get to see in that um this is amazing. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:25.160 I apologize to Sophie's mother and Sophie's mother alone. But 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.520 but Robert, again, I reiterate years I've been telling you years. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.080 I years you've been telling me to watch Patriot avoid all. Yes, 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.520 I've been for the entire for just about the entire 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.680 time I've been I've been laying it and laying it 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:45.480 on thick recently because I have shown give, I've gifted 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.440 this show to so many people, They've all been touched 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.680 by it. And there have been several times over the 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:55.240 course of um our time here in the worst year ever, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.440 where I've wanted to talk about things like jellyfish. There's 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.360 things that are in the show and stuff that happens 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:07.600 that I I the difficulties of arriving getting from point 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.040 A to point be different things that Yeah, the mechanics 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.119 of fluid dynamics. It's a very good show. People should 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.240 watch it. Um, it's definitely. When you start watching it 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.560 or when you read the descriptions, it seems like it's 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.880 going to be like twenty four, Like it's a show 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.520 about an American secret agent who's got to stop around 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:31.000 from getting a nuclear weapon. Um. But uh he it's 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.199 it's not what you would expect from that description. So 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.000 it's a good show. You should watch it. It's like 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.800 a deconstruction of shows like twenty four of all that 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:44.200 kind of like yeah stuff. I thought it. It was 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:49.880 very enjoyable. I really like the male lead. Everybody. Everybody is. 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.959 It's filled with actors who are like initially kind of 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.440 off putting and then surprisingly charming very quickly. Um, which 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.719 is just about every character. The casting is so impeccable 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:09.080 for every character. It's great. The guy from a seventies show, Yeah, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.080 the guy from that seventies show. He apparently has a 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.360 podcast that's set in the world of the show with 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.280 the creator of the show. Um, where he's just talking 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.120 about his career in piping and his cocaine addiction, him 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:26.480 doing those piping monologues. I'm sorry everybody wanted to appreciate 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:31.520 every time they watch it. Die even I was the 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.920 one people. I showed it to my parents over Christmas 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.280 and I was like, I don't know, I don't know 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.240 that they're the gamble. My mom was had tears from 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:45.440 laughing at that. Anyway, we've talked about this show what 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:51.240 else is Good? The classic comedy Roar by Tippy Hedrid 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.040 and her husband some guy and also her entire family 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.520 because nobody else would act in that. Okay, so yeah, 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.959 we have to actually clarify what Roy is because it's 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:04.240 a midazizing. What you said is true. But Tip was 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:09.520 obsessed with with uh tigers lions. Wait a minute, yeah, yeah, 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.000 they were in Africa and they like saw tigers and 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.480 lions doing something. There's some story about this that they 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.000 were like inspired that they wanted to save them and 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.720 help people. They brought them into their home with animals. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.200 An important, an important part of the story, Katie, is 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:29.440 that Tippy Hedren was traumatized by Alfred Hitchcock to a 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:33.000 terrifying extent. She was a monster and you can under 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.160 you can tell the degree of trauma that he inflicted 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.560 on her by the fact that basically the next thing 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.280 she decided to do was by a large plot of 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.800 land in southern California with her husband and start adopting 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.760 abandoned full grown lions and tigers, eventually two hundred and 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.440 thirty of them, and they lived in the house. They're 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.400 protecting her from the birds, not that I mean there there. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.160 It had been years like songbirds. I guarantee you did 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.880 not come close to nothing. There was nothing there. They 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.920 also adopted like elephants and ship. They almost went bankrupt. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.880 I mean they had to like sell everything else they 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.760 owned because eventually feeding all these animals was four thousand 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.400 dollars a week and seventies money. I can't even imagine 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:17.000 the medical bills to make a movie the whole time, 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.160 So her and her husband and her kids, who were 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.360 all actors and actors is because Hollywood, we're all living 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.640 on this house. They built on this wildlife sanctuary where 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.400 dozens of fully grown lions and tigers and pumas and 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.920 ship had physical access to them at all times. And 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.440 they spent five years shooting a movie. Now it is 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.040 a movie. You can watch it, but the plot makes 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.600 no sense and it's it's really not a movie because 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.960 they had a script and they had a plot, and 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.120 what the movie that you've seen is is that two 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.640 characters will meet in the house where there's dozens of 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.760 lions and tigers and will attempt to start a dialogue 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.080 to move the plot forward, and thirty five seconds into 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.800 this dialogue, one of them will be attacked by one 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.160 or multiple big cats, and the scene becomes about everyone 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.440 dealing with the fact that one of them is being 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.520 horribly mauled. You see there, like the male lead gets 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.640 scalp ripped off, Tippy Hedron gets her legs shattered by 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:17.160 an elephant um more than a hundred people. Yeah, she 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.680 gets grown by an elephant and breaks her leg um. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.200 There's there's a couple of scenes where her husband is 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.960 just has cats biting through his hand and he's bleeding everywhere. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.680 Like this is not none of this is like hidden, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.760 like it's you're you are just watching people get very 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.600 badly mauled by large cats. And the fun thing is 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.079 these are as domesticated as big cats can be. One 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.000 of them was Anton LaVey's pet tiger lion are beautiful. 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:48.040 They're beautiful animals. They're not like trying to kill them. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.920 They are behaving. They look exactly like your house cat does, 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.960 but they weigh like six hundred pounds, and there's again 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.800 dozens of them. There are some scenes where like Tippy 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.319 Hedron's husband is being piled on by like twenty cats 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.040 at a time. It's fucking amazing. So it took them 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:09.520 five years, a hundred plus injuries and multiple hospitalizations. Her 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.120 husband nearly lost his hand, like or his whole arm 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.920 from Gang Green. Five years just to film it, and 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.040 six years to edit it because what they actually had 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.280 was just fucking nonsense, and the resulting movie is again 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.520 the way I like to watch it with my friends 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.280 as I'll just turn the sound off and put it 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.319 on the TV while we're like talking and drinking in 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.560 the background, because there will be like ten minutes of 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.320 like boring dialogue and then like every people will start 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.480 getting attacked in a boat by lions, and you're like, yeah, 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.719 let's watch this. That's fucking cool. That's sound of it. It 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:41.520 It just bleeding all over the place, Robert, Robert Evans, Yes, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.240 you come here. You try to tell me that I'm 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.600 to blame for scaring Sophie's mom with the penises, when 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:55.120 what your plan was was to show her tigers mauling 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.160 children in Tippy hundred's house. I'm sorry. There are all 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.000 are all adults. They're all adults. They know that. You 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.319 don't have to feel bad about it because everybody knew 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.600 what they were getting into. Nobody made that entire family 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.360 live with dozens of big cats in a house. Sure, 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:16.760 but what what's what's what's more traumatic? Tophe's mom, Well, 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.720 I don't know. Every everyone enjoys watching people get mauled 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:24.040 by large cats. That's just a good time. Well boy, 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.560 oh boy, we've sure spent fifteen minutes talking about this stuff. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.240 I found a new thing to watch. Oh yeah, what 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.560 is it? Yeah? Um, it's uh tree cutting, it's tree 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.560 cutting fails. So it's it's people trying to and it's 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.400 usually what's amazing if you've never cut down a tree. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.680 Small trees you can just pull out with a winch 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.040 sometimes like not a big deal, saw him down, cut 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.760 out the stump whatever. Fine, Um, big trees like the 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.680 ones we have all over the Northwest, the ones that 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.600 are like four stories tall, that's like a team of 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.480 people in specialized tools. And there's a lot of videos 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.640 online that are just compilations of like some dude and 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.080 like one of his kids with a chainsaw they bought 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.640 at the store and like a ladder or just trying 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.760 to cut and they sometimes they die probably like it 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.080 looks like a lot of the injuries look really grievous. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.520 People like being flung around the tree on a strap 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.800 they were hanging from with a chainsaw and try to 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.960 down that tree. Yeah, it's exactly. All of the videos 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.480 are just like outrageous hubris. Like me, a guy who 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.680 does not know much about cutting down trees looks at 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.800 these guys and it's like, well, you shouldn't be doing this. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:35.280 You don't have the proper equipment of this. Actually this 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.920 is gonna sound watching them now, it's like it's amazing, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.200 like like amidst power lines and he's like, no, don't 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.440 do no, no, don't don't do it. Don't do that. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.840 There's also some incredible ones of like competent people who 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.880 are just like it's their job and so they like 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.840 there's this one amazing one where this guy cutting down 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.560 a tree that's a top like some um like power 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.680 lines or something, and he's clearly like a professional arborist, 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.960 he's all the right kit and because of some sort 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.920 of error, his chainsaw catches on fire, which catches the 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.840 tree below him on fire, and it's just like him, 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.320 he deals with it like you just like watch, Yeah, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:23.720 it's amazing, right, it isn't that an amazing video? Cody Trees. 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.480 He is handling this. He knows what he's doing. He's 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.640 very very capable. It's like he's at war with the tree. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.080 But I look at these big old trees and I 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.000 just feel like we have no business trying to remove them. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.120 They are they were there before us, and they'll be 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.760 there after unless we cut them down. I mean, I 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.680 totally agree with you, which is why I don't feel 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:50.120 bad when like father afore very clearly gets permanently injured 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:55.520 trying to take with the trees fifty year old elm 0:16:55.600 --> 0:17:02.000 tree in his backyard. I've been watching, and I doubt 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.880 anybody's when watching them. Yeah, some of them are pretty bad. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.520 Well it's just like like this, it goes fine and 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.640 then just a chunk of the tree just like slams 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.040 into them. Yeah, or this one where they're uh, they're 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.919 pretty great, you know, some of them, like it's not 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.199 a person gets injured that they're they're cutting on a 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.760 tree and then it topples over onto their pool and 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:27.879 the pool breaks and just like, uh huh, this is 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.600 great for an audio format. We're gonna take a quick break. 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.760 I think it's time for that. I think we have 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:38.119 to for advertisements. Break like the trees from the break 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:51.080 break like some trees and yours an ade everything. So 0:17:51.240 --> 0:18:01.760 don't don't don't. Oh yeah, if you what's up? Okay? 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.880 Should we talk about actual news? And I don't know 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.439 what to talk about? Um, but I will react uh 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:16.080 vibrantly and with viver oh, vim and vigor. What do 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.560 you guys want to talk about? Yeah? So many things 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:24.600 I actually wanna. So when we've got uh many things 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.479 to talk about, if we would like to, we can 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.360 talk about Elon Markin and his adventures on Twitter dot com, 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:35.560 um unions and Starbucks and Howard Schultz his big announcement 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.960 to save unions. We could talk about that I p 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.679 c C report where they're like, we've got three years 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:46.000 to avoid absolutely catastrophic climate change. But it's like the 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.239 rest of the world and not. I just can't stand it, right, 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.840 It's hard to talk about. I feel I think about 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:55.879 it all the day. I think about all the time 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.320 that report as horrifying. I tweeted about this. I truly 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.600 had seen maybe three people talking about it on Twitter. Um, 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.240 I guess now we're talking about it. Yeah, what do 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.840 you what do you like? I get everyone being like 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.720 why aren't people talking about this? But also I guess 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.520 because what are we supposed to say? Nothing's nothing. We 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.439 We've said everything that can be said, which is that 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.000 we're staring down the barrel of a nightmarish problem. None 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.000 of the people in power are doing anything, and it 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.600 is going to make the world less inhabitable and all 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.480 of the already utterly devastating problems we are dealing with, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:33.480 including like violent authoritarianism and inequality and even worse, and 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.159 and no one in power is going to do a 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.880 goddamn thing about it, or is meaningfully doing a goddamn 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.359 thing about I'm sorry. This is one of those things 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.360 when we talk about, like the failures of electoralism, people 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.040 are always like, well, what about this or what about this? 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.199 And it's like, no one is taking any meaningful action 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.879 in the US government that is going to stop this. 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.080 There are some people who are making some like attempts, 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:57.240 like to to their credit, people like Alexandria Accacio Cortez 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.600 keep talking about like a thing that might do something 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.960 like the Green New Deal has a chance to make 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.480 some meaningful impacts on this, but it doesn't have a 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:09.040 chance to pass um which is not you know, attacking 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.679 her for trying, but no one else is. It's not 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.520 going to happen, I know. And that's what's so fresh. Like, well, 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.399 the point of what I was saying, I mean, I 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.200 agree with everything you're saying, um my tweet. Basically, it's 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.480 like they're saying, we have three years to turn this 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.800 ship around, otherwise we will not have the worst case disaster, 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.840 and not many people are talking about it. And I'm 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.919 not criticizing people because I get it, because what are 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.520 we supposed to say when I'm like, this doesn't this 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:38.840 isn't good, this is and I'm we are all carrying 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.359 this anxiety, this watching this, this train plowing into the 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:47.440 depot and not slowing down. Meanwhile, okay, we should probably 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:54.000 talk about Ukraine. What's happening all these trains heading towards well, 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.800 but like specifically we're talking about climate change and the 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.800 effects of climate change on crops. Well right now, Ukraine 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.400 and Russia they are a huge exporter of grain, especially 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.320 for the Middle East and to other places that are 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.480 already uh, suffering from famine to the Middle East to Yemen, 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:15.200 and so what we're dealing with right now is there's 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:19.480 a lack of supplies leaving the current harvest may or 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:24.480 may not be harvested, and how that affects next season's harvest. 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.119 Not to mention, Okay, well, just the infrastructure being destroyed, 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:31.320 their long term sanctions that we have, and how that's 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:35.480 going to affect. So sorry, I'm just going off on 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.080 a tangent here, but it's all connected. When we're seeing 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.760 this happen and we're like, Okay, we've got three fucking years. 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:46.560 Now is the time we put off talking about the 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.479 news for twenty minutes and here we are, you know, 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:53.160 like the most reasonable thing in the world right now 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:57.080 is to put off talking about the news. Um, I'm 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:03.360 not There's a lot we need to figure out as 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.000 a species, and none of it is going to be 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.200 figured out through people yelling at other people on Twitter 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.679 for not tweeting about the I p c C Report. 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:15.520 So number one, calm down, Like, don't calm down about 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.680 climate change because it's it's it's absolutely a serious problems 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:22.280 as the report presents it, But like, calm down about 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.639 the fact that people like joking, that people prefer to 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:29.240 like joke about whatever bullshit is happening with Amy Schumer 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.120 than they do to talk about the doom that like 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.160 we people like folks are like, what am I supposed 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.080 to do? And the answer is like, nobody knows. Because 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.159 it's particularly like a lot of folks on the far 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.200 left will be like, well, we should be people should 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.320 be attacking fossil fuel infrastructure, and I think that would 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.720 be rad But what would actually happen is that like 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.400 one person would carry out an attack that would not 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.440 actually do any material damage to fossil fuel infrastructure, and 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:55.880 then their life and the lives of all their friends 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:57.879 would be destroyed. So that's not going to fix the 0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.600 problem either, And voting sure as ship has not yet 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:02.760 done anything to fix the problem, So like what what 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.159 do you? People like people are gonna laugh about a 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:10.480
