00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Tutor Dixon Podcast in the Clay

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: and Book podcast Network. Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast.

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm Tutor Dixon, and I refuse to believe that comedy

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: is dead. No matter how many times the boring progressive

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: activists try to drown it in their tears. Comedy will

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: rise above these attacks. And I mean, seriously, laughing is

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: good for the sole people. In fact, I've already been

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: laughing with my guest today. I didn't even know if

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: we could start the podcast because we were joking so much.

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: My guest today is actually keeping comedy alive with his

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: own news show. That show Tonight. Michael Loftis is the

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: co creator and executive producer. Michael, thank you for being here.

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: We'll see where this goes. You are a comedy genius

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: and you've already had me laughing hysterically. So why why

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: are they trying to kill it?

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, let me just say I'm a

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: big fan, and probably because you called me a comedy genius.

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: So let's let's just keep them was going. Can we

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: do an hour of that? That just seems great. I'll

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: just lie back and you're like, and I really thought

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: you were funny, and I'll be like, stop, We're.

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Going to change the name to just the Michael Loftis

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: fluff Show. Make it happy, whatever he wants see.

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: But I would watch that. I would watch the Michael

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Loftus fluff Show.

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: I know, but we need more than one day.

27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, here. So I've been a comedian for a

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: very long time. Started back in the early nineties, moved

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles in late ninety seven, worked in television,

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: had my own stand up special, you know, blah blah.

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: I saw all this coming. It's funny, Like I stopped

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: performing at colleges like years before Seinfeld and those guys

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: started realizing just how bad things were. And it's really funny.

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: It's there's no big confusion about like everybody. Usually people

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: want to talk about cancel culture and what do we do?

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: And you just you just keep going. You just refuse

37
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: to change for it. And I think that that's what

38
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: you know. You can dissect things and go okay, never apologize,

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: which you which you never should do. However, you should

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 2: just continue to make people laugh. That's that seems that's

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: that's the winning combination. Just keep going on making fun

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: of the morons, making fun of the idiots, making fun

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: of the of the weird and awkward, making fun of yourself.

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: But just don't change your behavior whatsoever. It's it's it's

45
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: there's no big mystery here.

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Just but you couldn't have Seinfeld today. I mean that

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: would be no No network would carry it because they

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: would be afraid. So how do you do it? How

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: do you do this? How do you keep going when

50
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: network goes ahole? We can't have the Soup Nazi, we

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: can't have that on TV?

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: Well, well you start, you start your own thing. That's

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: what I did with that show tonight.

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: Uh.

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: And it's it's been a wild road. But a few

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: years ago, I want to say twenty eighteen, because everybody

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: realized how popular The Daily Show was and the Colbert

58
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: Report and all those shows, and that all the late

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: night shows were coming from the same political point of view.

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: They were all coming from the left, and so you

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: realize there's this huge gap. And then Roseanne Barr had

62
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: done the reboot of her show and it was wildly successful.

63
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: Roseanne Barr was getting ratings like an NFL playoff game, seriously,

64
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: like every Tuesday night. So I went out with a

65
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: super famous Hollywood big wig. This guy has produced, produced,

66
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: and started in huge hit movies and hit TV shows.

67
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: And so we came up with this like common sense,

68
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: right leaning, more conservative, libertarian answer for the Daily Show.

69
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: And we started pitching it around town. And I'm telling you,

70
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: as a guy who's I've pitched television shows, I've sold

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: television shows, I've written on network shows, these pitch meetings

72
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: that we did were some of the best ones I've

73
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: ever been a part of. Like our agents were in

74
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: the parking lot going, Okay, everybody, there's gonna be a

75
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: bidding war. This is gonna be huge. And all of

76
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: these outlets Netflix, Amazon, Sinclair, CBS, all these syndicated groups,

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: they all turned it down. They go, Michael, we think

78
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: you're hilarious. We love this show. We know the show

79
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: would be a huge hit. We'd make a mountain of money,

80
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: but we can't afford to be friendly to the right.

81
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: So I mean, do you consider yourself the right?

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: Is that definitely I'm definitely right. I'm definitely right of

83
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: the middle where the country is now. But to me,

84
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: that's where all the comedy is right. So, to make

85
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: a long story short, I was just mortified just absolutely,

86
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: absolutely mortified. I always thought, you think money would be

87
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: the great equalizer, you know, like, oh, I run a

88
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: television studio, I want to make money. Here's an underserved

89
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: part of America we should program to, and they were

90
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: just Nope, not going to do it. We know we

91
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: would make money, we know would be a hit, but

92
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 2: we don't want to be friendly to that segment of America.

93
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: So that's when it was like right when the like

94
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: the lockdown started. And I've been approached many times to

95
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: do like a sketch show like SNL, but it leans

96
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: to the right. And this is the first time and

97
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: it's been the most work on a project, but also

98
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: the most satisfying, Like who knew you we have? We

99
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: had to get our own servers because you know, like

100
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: they started.

101
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Up parlor, I know, that's what I mean, they started

102
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: kicking people off. And I think about just I think

103
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: about comedy as such a I mean, such a calming

104
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: relief because those shows really were successful. And don't you

105
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: think society was happier back when we were watching shows

106
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: that were just goofy and made fun of people and

107
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: no one care. They enjoyed it.

108
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean it's I got. I did an

109
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: interview with the BBC recently and they couldn't believe that

110
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: there weren't any shows that leaned to the right, and

111
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, in England, there's if you've got

112
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: a political party in the UK, I guarantee you have

113
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: a show that represents you, you know, in a comedy,

114
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 2: lighthearted fashion. So it's just I think what happened is

115
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: the left realized what a stranglehold they have, you know

116
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: on social media Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, and then they

117
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: and then all of cable beyond you know, beyond Fox News,

118
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: they had they had a lock on the market. And

119
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: that's a huge Once you get a power like that,

120
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: you're not going to let it go. You're not going

121
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: to let it go, right, which is.

122
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Fantastic, but it has created such an unhappy youth, and

123
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: people get so mad when you joke. Now, so you

124
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: probably have figured out that I like to joke around.

125
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm a joker, and I would joke around on the

126
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: campaign trail and that was not highly welcomed by the

127
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: leftist media. So one day we were on the trail

128
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: and we were talking about the lockdowns, and they said

129
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: she made a joke about the Gretchen Whitmer getting kidnapped,

130
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: and I said, no, that wasn't a joke, but it

131
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: was a joke. Then later that night, when we were

132
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: talking about Gretchen Whitmer had walked through the she'd walk

133
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: through the auto show with Joe Biden, and I said,

134
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden reaches over and holds her hand hand at

135
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: the auto show and you could see her face like

136
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: I wish I were being kidnapped right now instead of this,

137
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: And people were so mad about it. It was like,

138
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: shame may this joke? And I'm like, it was a joke.

139
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: And we had so many media come up to me

140
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: like what did you know? Do you apologize for this?

141
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, well, you stop making it so

142
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: that we can never have any levity in life. Everybody

143
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: knows I was joking, yes, And that's the problem is

144
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: that if you can't joke, then the opposite of that

145
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: is people just become uptight and angry, and that's when

146
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: you end up with this violence and hatred.

147
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: Well, unfortunately it works. You know. My favorite part of

148
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: like the media and like journalism is how they they

149
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: won't be able to tell the difference like you obviously

150
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: like like you made an obvious joke and then they go,

151
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: wait a minute, why would you want that? Why were

152
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: They would do it with Trump all the time when

153
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: when he was serious, they'd act like he was joking.

154
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: And when he's joking, they'd act like he's serious, and like,

155
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: what what would that? What does that mean? Right?

156
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: We must we must go into a deep dive analysis.

157
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: And it works. But all of us are going remember

158
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: when you could be funny? Right for those days?

159
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? Unfortunately though it works when you're especially going after

160
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: a political candidate. You know, they just want to, you know,

161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: bake in that negative, the negative negative, negative negative, And

162
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 2: then who cares a group of.

163
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: People though that so desperately want comedy to come back.

164
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: They don't care. They do not believe this blogoney about

165
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: you can't be funny anymore. I mean, honestly, I am

166
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: not kidding. When I look back at the shows that

167
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: I watched as a kid, Seinfeld would not be a

168
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: show today, could not be a show today. They would

169
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: never allow that, right, So.

170
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: That's the exciting part. So that's the exciting part. Which

171
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: gets me too, are our national economic divorce? Like, so

172
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: those funny things aren't going to be allowed on like

173
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: network television. It's gonna be the end of comedy for

174
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people, because like and I saw the

175
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: handwriting on the wall on the last shows that I

176
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: worked on on CBS and and even before that on ABC,

177
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: where the sensors would say, oh, we can't really owe

178
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, it's a situation comedy. Like it's

179
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: a comedy. It's we're not making a documentary. We're not

180
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: telling people how to live their life. We're slinging jokes.

181
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: Yet still they would get so uptight about it, you know,

182
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: and and censor a lot of things. So there's this

183
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: wonderful invention called the Internet, and let's just for the

184
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: people who want it. They can come out and watch

185
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: that show tonight. And then when I go out to

186
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: a comedy club, I've got a great little tour that

187
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm I'm starting at the end end of this month,

188
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: so the fun people can come out and enjoy their lives.

189
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: You just you're just gonna get everything all a cart.

190
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, this will be it will be the end

191
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: of network television unless they come to their senses. It'll

192
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: be the end of cable TV unless they come to

193
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: their senses. And if you look at what Disney's doing,

194
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: Disney is batt in a thousand. They're they're simultaneously ruining

195
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: their brand, They're ruining Marvel, They're ruining Star Wars. It's

196
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: like everything they touched.

197
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: I saw that you were not a fan of all

198
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: of the cameos. So you didn't Did you feel like

199
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Lizzo and Jack Black just weren't a believable couple? What

200
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: was it that you just couldn't get with?

201
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: It's it's like the whole the whole mandalorian In in

202
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: general is just stupid. It's just stupid. I'm a huge

203
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: Star Wars fan, Like I'm a huge I'm a huge

204
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: John Favreau fan, and it's like, why do why do these?

205
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: It just keeps getting more stupid. And I have nothing

206
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 2: against Lizzo or Jack Black, but really, that's what you're

207
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: gonna do, That's what you're gonna do with Jack. Hey,

208
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Black and I'm eating food, and there's Lizzo.

209
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: I'm Lizzo and I'm eating food. It's like, oh my god,

210
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: Like it's a waste, it's a waste of their talent.

211
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I mean I think we all thought, but

212
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: that also was very strange because it was sort of

213
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: this posture of look at all these people we can get.

214
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: But the whole appeal to the Star Wars brand is

215
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: that it's people you don't know and they create this

216
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: amazing show for you to watch. And so it really

217
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: went against everything that is Star Wars. And I think

218
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: that's why people went what just happened? And it was

219
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: totally out of context of what was going on in

220
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: the Mandalorian. But I think that this is just what

221
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: is happening in I mean, it's happening in all these brands.

222
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: They're just die and we're saying why what I mean

223
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: SNL SNL today is not the SNL that it used

224
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, think about can you imagine having

225
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: Pat on SNL today?

226
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: Right all right?

227
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Because it'd be like are you offended by that?

228
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: Comedy is always like light years ahead of the crowd,

229
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: Like light years ahead, Pat doing that whole thing money.

230
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: Python did some hilarious stuff about like the trans movement

231
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: back during a Life of Brian and you're just like,

232
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: holy smoke, and that's like it's the canary in the

233
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: coal mine. South Park does some wonderful stuff, and I also, yes,

234
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: that that new sketch comedy show, that show tonight, that's

235
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: some hilarious things as well.

236
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: So tell us about but you are you have a

237
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: page people can go Do they pay for this?

238
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: How do you?

239
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: How do you? Yes?

240
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: They pay for it? And that is the the the

241
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: great thing. It's like a la cart you're going to.

242
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: It's like a secret society. Now if you want to laugh,

243
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: you have to you have to pay for it secretly

244
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: on your own.

245
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: Yes.

246
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: Cool. I think that's fine.

247
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: Sponsors aren't going to touch it. Sponsors aren't gonna come

248
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: near this until there's a level of success. And then

249
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: I'd love the transition to where we're just giving it away,

250
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: you know, as as the world comes to their senses.

251
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, they go to that show tonight dot com

252
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: and it's a it's it's like five bucks a month.

253
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: And here's the great thing. Now, content creators are finding

254
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: us people. There's people who are making these wonderfully funny mockumentaries.

255
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: They're making feature films. So like I just wanted to

256
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: do a comedy show, you know, just like hey, once

257
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: a month, we'll do the show. It's five bucks, you

258
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: get it. You know, it's a deal. If you sign

259
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: up for the whole year or whatever, Like Jim Brewer's

260
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: done shows with us, and Dave Landau just did a show.

261
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: Christy Swanson's going to be doing a show. Dean Kane.

262
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: I want to get like I'm just like everybody. But

263
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: now the these content creators are coming to us, so like, okay, crap,

264
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: we need some more bandwidth because we're gonna have to

265
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: add this show and that movie. So it's quickly turning

266
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: into like a little mini streaming service, which just is

267
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: exciting and put some lead in my pencil.

268
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

269
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. So you are taking over as

270
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: like the conservative version of which I don't. I think

271
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: comedy is just comedy, so I hate to label it

272
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: in one realm or the other. But it gives you

273
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of that comedy Central network that you can create

274
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: for people who are still wanting to see actual comedy.

275
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I really feel like it's this secret society

276
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: now where you're like going to the speak easy. What

277
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: are you doing here today listening to comedy?

278
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: Don't tell anybody it's a news It's a Dave Chappelle show.

279
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: They're protesting outside. Yes, it's funny, and it's like, I

280
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: want it to be comedy for everybody. It's what like,

281
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: like Comedy Central has been into censorship and trying to

282
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: steer the taste of America for decades now, for decades now,

283
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: Like the Blue Collar Comedy Tour was like the one

284
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: of the most successful things Comedy Central ever did, but

285
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: they always kind of kick those guys to the curb

286
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: and never really gave them the respect that they deserve.

287
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: Same thing with Jeff Donham. Jeff Donham amazing success on

288
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: Comedy Central. Every one of his specials was huge, but

289
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: they always just kind of, you know, put him to

290
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: the side because they want to decide who's cool and

291
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: who's not cool, and they want.

292
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: To be in How do you censor comedy? Isn't the

293
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: whole point of comedy the shock and awe It makes

294
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: you laugh. It's something so outrageous that you just think

295
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: it's hilarious. If you have to, if you have to

296
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: censor comedy, then we will never laugh again.

297
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: That's right. Comedy exists on surprise. You know that. You

298
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: It's like it's like a knock knock joke, knock knock,

299
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: Who's there about. So you you set up this reality

300
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: and then you have this element of surprise, and with

301
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: like woke culture and censorship, you're taking away that sense

302
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: of surprise. I know exactly where Jimmy Fallon's going with

303
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: a joke. I know exactly where Stephen Colbert is going

304
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: with a joke. I can write it faster than they

305
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: can say it. But at least with Gutfeld, you're like, Okay,

306
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: oh oh, that was a surprise, you know, and that's

307
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: why he's number one in Late Night. Now. It's not Ryant.

308
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: It's not rocket surgery.

309
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: Right right, No, there is not rocket surgery. So it's

310
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: not definitely not that.

311
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: Definitely not that. See and like you think I'm gonna

312
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: say rocket science, but I turned to surgery. That, my friends,

313
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: is comedy. Are you guys writing this down? You should

314
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: probably run.

315
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: I know, I know we should be because maybe that's

316
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: the next step in this whole podcast if we can

317
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: just But honestly, I think it's such a draw and

318
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: that's why I laugh about the Secret Society. But I

319
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: think people are dying to go back to those old

320
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: days where you could watch a show and just laugh.

321
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean, and I used to I remember doing my

322
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: homework in high school and listening to my parents laugh

323
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: out loud at nighttime TV. And I don't even think

324
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: people watch TV anymore. They don't watch the network. They're

325
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: always streaming. It's whatever show you're into, you just binge

326
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: watch it. How do we get back to the fact

327
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: that we see people laughing, Well, that.

328
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: Is why we film. We do that show tonight in

329
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: front of a live studio audience. That to me is everything.

330
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: And this is my own personal philosophy on comedy and

331
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: theater and all of us. I still think that we've

332
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 2: got that Caveman DNA. It's funnier when you're in a

333
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: group of people when you're in a group of people

334
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: watching something all the same time, Like those old sitcoms,

335
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: you know, you'd get that great thing, you know, blah

336
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: blah blah. It was filmed live in front of a

337
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: studio audience. I always love it. And like Saturday Night

338
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: Live used to have that as well, where it's like,

339
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: oh my god, that thing just happened and I'm there

340
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: was episodes of like Taxi where I literally thought my

341
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: dad was gonna die. I thought I was watching him

342
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: die in front of my area. What does oh yello

343
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: like me? That was just it so And when you

344
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: hear the audience just roaring with laughter, that's the that's

345
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: the thing. You need, that live audience. And when when yeah,

346
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 2: people are like just watching from their home and they

347
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 2: don't and audiences are smart. You can tell when it's

348
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: a crappy laugh track and when they're trying to fake it.

349
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: You know, right of course if you watching.

350
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: At home, you want to be part of that community experience,

351
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: like like at a comedy club. My favorite when I'm

352
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: doing when I'm on stage doing stand up, I always

353
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: love it. I love the moment like you're just you know,

354
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: you want to crush and you'll tell a joke, you know,

355
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: and you just know you're just hammering. You're like Mike Tyson,

356
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: and you'll see somebody in the audience like howling, and

357
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: then they'll look over at a stranger and like they'll

358
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: have this like shared quick communication like oh my god,

359
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: oh my god, can you believe us?

360
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: That's the best, right, And that's something that we don't

361
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: see anymore. The other night, we had The Golden Girls

362
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: on and my my oldest daughter said to my mom,

363
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: this show is so annoying. There's constantly people laughing as

364
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: they're talking, and I thought, oh my word, she's never

365
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: heard a show in front of a live studio audience

366
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: because they're just watching all of this junk that they

367
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: come across. Or it's a you know, some Mermaid show

368
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: and they watched seventy five episodes of it in a row,

369
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: you know. And I think they're missing out on this.

370
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: A whole generation could miss it if we do not

371
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: bring comedy back.

372
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean I'm always gonna have of like

373
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: hope and an optimistic look at the future because they

374
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 2: said that like, oh, movies are gonna kill Broadway, that'll

375
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: be the end of Broadway.

376
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: And I just checked the other day, will kill the

377
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: Radio Star?

378
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: And I think, well it did.

379
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: No, I still listen to radio.

380
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: We're still no. But like you know that thing when

381
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 2: you're watching a music video and you see somebody really

382
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 2: ugly singing, You're like, wow, they must be talented.

383
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: But now now those are the people that are lifted up.

384
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: It's like, look at how amazing and strong and brave.

385
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, it's Lizo in a G string. She must

386
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: really be great.

387
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: I was thrilled actually when I saw her in the

388
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: gown on the Mandalorian because it was the most close

389
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: I've ever seen on Lizzo.

390
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Listen, the costume department isn't the problem on

391
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: the Mandalorian. It's it's the writers that's that's that's the problem.

392
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: Costuming is so good they had She's so big, they

393
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: had a hologram following her. Did you see that? Like

394
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: walking through and they just like, we're gonna put this

395
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: hologram thing behind you from more.

396
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: Coverage what is attached to her? And I think it

397
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: was because I have never seen so much of her

398
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: body covered. And then there was something hanging off of

399
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: the back, and I thought this is very strange because

400
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: it wouldn't her fans of just her nude body hanging

401
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: out there be a little offended that not only does

402
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: she have so many clothes on, but they have added

403
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: a hologram behind her. I don't maybe that was the

404
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: problem with it. It's almost I know you were hoping

405
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: for the G string.

406
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, Listen, I'm always hoping for the G string.

407
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't care if you feel if you feel comfy

408
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 2: with them suns out, buns out, then you go girl

409
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: like that's that's the least of our problems. My problem

410
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 2: is when society tries to say that that's healthy, like,

411
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: m I don't know, I don't know how. I don't

412
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: know how, Like like the real big Girl, I don't

413
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: know how healthy that is. But you wear what you

414
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: want to wear. You want to rock a G string

415
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: on your private jet, Well you go, Lizzo.

416
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: You know listen, I am. I walked by Victoria's Secret

417
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: the other day and the girls were with me and

418
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: they looked at it and they were like, you could

419
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: see the looks on their faces were confused. Now when

420
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: I was their age and walked past Victoria's Secret, all

421
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: of the models were these incredibly sexy, super hot supermodels right,

422
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: and people were like, oh, this is an unachievable lifestyle.

423
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: We should never have these supermodels. And so then we

424
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: ended up with real people. And the fact of the

425
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: matter is that when you are a real people, and

426
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: you are a real person and you see yourself up

427
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: there in Victoria's Secret clothes, you're like, oh, crap, I

428
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: don't want to look like that. And then you walk

429
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: by when you see a supermodel, You're like, am I

430
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: gonna look like that?

431
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

432
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in there and get myself some of those,

433
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: and and that was how I felt I looked at it.

434
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, shoot, if I'm going to see my

435
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: own fat body looking at me, I don't want to

436
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: go in there and get underpaid.

437
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: I can. I can get baggy sweatpants at.

438
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: Target exactly exactly. I'm like, where are these brand managers

439
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: that are like, let's put the average mom body up there.

440
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Every mom will come in and want these. And I'm like, no,

441
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: we like to think that we don't have a mom body.

442
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: That I have the opportunity to be gisil. But now

443
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to look at this and remember

444
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: that's what I'll look like in that outfit. You would

445
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: be better off making me believe that I'm going to

446
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: look hot.

447
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: Yes, and making you Isn't it better for society not

448
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: to get too philosophical here, but to aspire to something.

449
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I do I do feel a little

450
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: less than so I should probably try to better myself

451
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 2: today so I can get closer to this ideal. Like listen, uh,

452
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: I could look I could look like Michaelangelo's David if

453
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 2: I wanted to, Like, really, I could I just it's time, man.

454
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: But no, we should aspire to be better. We should

455
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: aspire towards beauty, we should aspire towards it.

456
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: But that was the idea that they killed when when

457
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: we were young, it was like, do not tell people

458
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: they should aspire to this, because you're gonna hurt the

459
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: feelings of the people who don't. But you know what,

460
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually never gonna have the same body as Giselle,

461
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: but I like to think that there's a chance, and

462
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: it does make me want to do something better for

463
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: myself and for my kids, just it inspires me to

464
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: have them eat healthier and think about things differently. But

465
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: because we were told no, actually you should embrace the opposite,

466
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: it really messed up society, and honestly, it has messed

467
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: up all of these brands. Nobody I was after, I mean,

468
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: because I'm sort of weird, and I did have that

469
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: moment where I went, I don't I don't actually want

470
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: to see my real body standing like staring at me

471
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: in underwear. I was like, how is this working out

472
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: for Victoria's Secret? And I looked it up and I

473
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, pretty bad? Yes, not a

474
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: good thing. No one else wants to see that either.

475
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: It's it's wild to watch all these brands completely self destruct.

476
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: But that's great because I like so hopefully, Like there's

477
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: some like you know, Mom and Pop lingerie store right

478
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: now that's just killing it, right, that's just killing it

479
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: because they're like, here's what's gonna make you look sexy.

480
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: Here's a g string in a corset and it's made

481
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: out of pleather. Go like, that's all wonderful. But they

482
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: don't care, and they make these giant mistakes, these giant mistakes,

483
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: especially with the lives.

484
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: Literally, I mean this is like they were giant people there.

485
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like if you go back to like the

486
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: food pyramid, the food pyramid, the government's like this is

487
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 2: the right way to go, and it was horrible, and

488
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: so now you get an obesity problem and they go okay,

489
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: and they don't even apologize. These fucking bastards. They don't

490
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: even say they're sorry. And then they come at as

491
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: they go, you know what, the kids need self esteem,

492
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: self esteem, so everyone gets a medal, everyone's a winner.

493
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: Huge mistake. We now have idiots who think they're smart

494
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 2: and have great self esteem, and now they're like.

495
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: The food pyramid all goes back to the lobbyists that

496
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: said we got to get more bread sold. We have

497
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: to have more of this sold, and then they're making

498
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: a ton of money. So it may be a mistake

499
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: for us, but suddenly big Farmer goes, thank you, you

500
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: just sent us a bunch of patients. I mean, there

501
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: really isn't twisted behind the scenes to all of that.

502
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and there's never an apology, and they keep making

503
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: these huge mistakes, and I think they've finally gone too

504
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: far with COVID and the lockdowns and all that stuff, like, oh,

505
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: children are resilient, they don't even need to go to school,

506
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: so now they're even dumber than before. And now they've

507
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: taken it to this insane level of hey, little boy,

508
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: do you think you're a girl. Let's sign you up

509
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: for surgery. And then you're like, oh okay, and then

510
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: can we go get a tattoo after that surgery? Oh no,

511
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: you can't get a tattoo. You're too young to make

512
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: Caro pic shots.

513
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: It's coret and make sure you take that ozepic shot

514
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: at eleven. Yes, I mean it's crazy that. I mean,

515
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: we you talk about the art imitating life, and so

516
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: oftentimes I see remember the movie Wally where that all

517
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: the people were just gigantic and they moved around in

518
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: chairs and they didn't actually do anything this. But I'm like,

519
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we've become this. I look around at

520
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: the airport and everybody's looking up their phones. We're all

521
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: so lazy now. And we're like, instead of saying you

522
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: should aspire to something else, we're like, embrace the laziness.

523
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 1: In fact, we're going to show you pictures of other

524
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: lazy people to make you feel good about being lazy.

525
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: And we do feel good about it. We're like, yes,

526
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: in fact, don't make jokes about it, because nobody wants

527
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: to feel bad anymore. Because there is a little bit

528
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: of conviction that happens when you hear these like oh,

529
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I should go work out. No, heaven forbid,

530
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: anyone is convicted to do something good. We have to

531
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: stay on the same path.

532
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: The great thing, great thing though, about making fun of

533
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: like fat people, Like when you do, you don't have

534
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: to worry about them chasing you down because you know

535
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: they're pretty easy to outrun. That's the That's the one

536
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: shining beacon of hope in all this. They're just back

537
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: there with there and hailer chicken.

538
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: Well they've got long COVID.

539
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's what it is. That's what it is.

540
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: I got it. I just got I got, I got

541
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: long COVID, and I got a Domino's Pizza addiction. Don't

542
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: you shame me.

543
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

544
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Domino's Pizza is another one. I

545
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: don't know what they did, but I don't know. It

546
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: has not been as good as it used to be.

547
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: My Domino's Pizza addiction has made me move to another

548
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: brand now, but I haven't seen anything.

549
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: Hold on crazy from here's what you do with Domino's pizza. Okay,

550
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: and it's horrible, but it makes it so much better.

551
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: You get your Domino's pizza, then you get it out

552
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: of the box. Don't start eating it yet. Don't start

553
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: eat you're not done. Warm up a skillet with just

554
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: a little bit of oil, then put those slices in

555
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: the skillet. It like it's like time. Try It's so delicious. Yes,

556
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: I know you're ordering feeling.

557
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: You didn't listen to my whole wally analogy where I

558
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: want to be lazy I order pizza. I don't want

559
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: to have to eat it up in oil and make

560
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,400

Speaker 1: Well, you know they have to go somewhere now because

565
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,560

596
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: it's very funny because some of the first videos that

597
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: we ever did are now circulating all over the place.

598
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: We've had in the past two weeks, we've had over

Speaker 2: seven million views on like wow clips. Yeah, and I

600
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: don't want to say I don't want to say the

601
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: platform because I know the AI is listening. Yeah, no,

602
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: but yeah, we're not allowed to.

603
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: They're smarter than us.

604
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: Facebook allow us to advertise. Google won't allow us to advertise.

605
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: YouTube won't allow us to advertise. Yet somehow, some way, grassroots,

606
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: it's just been happening, and it's it's awesome.

607
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Did you hear that Now AI has a plan to

608
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: destroy the world? Did you hear the latest news? AI

609
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: has one one of the ais they tweeted some AI

610
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: it was what was it? It was like a version

611
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: of some type of chat GPT or whatever it is,

612
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: and they came out with this this plan that would

613
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: destroy humanity. And then AI talks about how it will

614
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: take over and I'm like this, actually, that's not comedy.

615
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: It's it's too funny. It's like because I've been concerned

616
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: about I've been concerned about this for a long time,

617
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: like I have. I wrote my first novel. I've written

618
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 2: like movies and television shows and YadA, YadA. I just

619
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: wrote my first novel, which is called Neither Stunning nor Brave,

620
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: And it's like this romantic comedy set in a not

621
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: too distant dystopia. So when you start to and I

622
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: love science fiction and all that wonderful stuff, but when

623
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: you start to ask yourselves, Okay, so if we make

624
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: this thing, what happens next? And with AI, everybody thinks

625
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: it's going to be like the Terminator and they go, oh, well,

626
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: there'll be robots and I'll just throw water on them

627
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: and they'll be a resistance. AI is AI is not

628
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: playing And that's why Elon Musk and everybody who knows

629
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 2: what they're talking about in this field is like, stop,

630
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 2: just stop, stop right now. We need so much.

631
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: Right now, we only have to worry about whether you

632
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: are actually a man or a woman, not a robot.

633
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: But that's the future, right, But.

634
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: Like an AI, what's what's to stop an AI just

635
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: from launching all the nukes?

636
00:34:59,000 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: Right?

637
00:34:59,480 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: No?

638
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: I oh, I mean I think it's I'm not joking

639
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: about it. It is incredibly serious and it's terrifying, and

640
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: you're right. It is why Elon Musk has come out

641
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, this is not a toy. This is

642
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: not a toy. But we love to play with things,

643
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: Yes we do.

644
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: And it's like San Francisco now has robot cops. New

645
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: York is gonna have robot cops, no way.

646
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: And if a robot cops decides to take you down.

647
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, we're not beating the robots.

648
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: I just we're not.

649
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 2: Can you just imagine? It's like, there's so many drunk

650
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 2: people who ride the Long Island Railroad late at night,

651
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: and so so a little R two D two things

652
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: starts coming up to you and wants to write you

653
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: a ticket for drunken disorderly people are gonna knock that

654
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 2: thing over. They're gonna be taking selfies with it, graffiti,

655
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: They're gonna there's gonna be there's gonna be. Uh.

656
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: But the next one that comes is one of those

657
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: weird dog looking ones and then it just rips you

658
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: apart or something. And how do we know that AI

659
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: is not gonna be a bunch of exactly, I don't

660
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: know the dog.

661
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: I don't like the dog robots. They have those and

662
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: it comes with an attachment for a shotgun on the back.

663
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 2: Do you know that? It's just like it's just like

664
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: you just their weapons.

665
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: Yes, they are. And I'm not kidding when I say

666
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: I see those things. And I was watching something the

667
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: other day and the girls are like, how cute is that?

668
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, see that's the thing. We think it's it's

669
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: not cute. It's and I think too many people right

670
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: now are like, this is so fun and it'll be

671
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: so exciting to have these robots. And I watched WandaVision

672
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: and I could fall in love with one. And it's

673
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: not not that yes, not that, yes, it's weird.

674
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: It's uh, the robots that look like robots. Nobody has

675
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: a problem with it, right, It's when you get into

676
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: that uncanny valley like you'll always have like, hey, an

677
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: inventor in Japan has the world's first robot prostitute, and

678
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: then it'll turn its head and.

679
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: That movie, Megan, that's what I'm afraid of. Say what

680
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the movie Megan?

681
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 2: I have not seen it? Is it? Megan? Fox? Though?

682
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: Because they make they make a little girl that is

683
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: a friend to someone and she looks exactly like a

684
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: little girl. So it's not like C three po, We're

685
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: talking about a human that's actually a robot. Like small Wonder.

686
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I don't want to see that. I don't.

687
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: But this is a small wonder that turns on every

688
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: evening and kills them, right, yeah, children exactly. But but

689
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: think about how smart that would be if you were

690
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 1: an enemy to go all right, We've gotten way off

691
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: topic now, so I should probably rain us back and

692
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: bring us Yes, so I've kept I've kept you longer

693
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 1: than I promise, but you really have. This has been

694
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: so much fun for me. And I'm sure everybody in

695
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: the room with me right now is like, are you

696
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: really are you gonna hear that? But I am because

697
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: it's so much fun. So I wait a minute.

698
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 2: This has been high quality contents. People right now who

699
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: are like, don't air that one. Don't. Are you sure?

700
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: You're always nervous about anything, like somebody's going to use

701
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: this against you? I'm like, have you seen my life? Literally?

702
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,479
Speaker 1: Every day something? I'm over it. I'm over everybody using

703
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: everything against me. Go for me. I take it.

704
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: There's no such thing as bad press. Now, now we

705
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: should say something really horrific.

706
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: I've actually found out that you can. You actually can't

707
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: have bad press. Run for governor. It'll change your mind.

708
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 2: Well, I had a fantastic time, and I'm hoping I

709
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: didn't ruin your career. Now I feel guilty.

710
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you you just have to take me

711
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: on that show tonight when this all blows out and

712
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: I end up homeless.

713
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: You have to take me in with absolute joy, With

714
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: absolute joy, We'll get you out pushing your little shopping

715
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 2: cart and I'll be like, you should host the show.

716
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: Let's get you air and makeup.

717
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. I have and I

718
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: have four children, so though they.

719
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: Come along, they have their own little shopping carts. You're

720
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: like the Mama duck.

721
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: Exactly. That is there are actually people out there that

722
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: would love to see that. And that is the sick

723
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: thing about this because we're so we have to be

724
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: so divided right now that if if I don't agree

725
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: with you on everything, then I definitely want you to

726
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: be pushing a shopping cart somewhere. Yeah, So that is

727
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: when it happens, I'll call.

728
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: That's horribly annoying when you have like a candidate who like, oh,

729
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: this person embodies everything I want, and then they make

730
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: some comment about I don't I think it's a little

731
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: early for straw hat season, and everybody's.

732
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: Hold on.

733
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: It's all a straw hat season. Good Lord in Heaven,

734
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: people are ridiculous.

735
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, It's true though, because when I was campaigning,

736
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: the team was like, so they want you to go

737
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: bear hunting, and I was like, oh, that it's not

738
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: exactly something I've done before. We really think it would

739
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: be good for you to go bear hunting. And I

740
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: thought bear hunting was way different than what it was

741
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: because I read the book We're going on a Bear Hunt, Yeah,

742
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: and they went over things and under things and it

743
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: was a real journey. But this was not that. We

744
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 1: actually wrote in a car and looked for bear tracks

745
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: the whole day, So it was not as exciting as

746
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be. I thought it

747
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: was going to be pretty tense and we would contact

748
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: a bear, but we didn't. But then, you know, when

749
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: we're done bear hunting, people were like, you know, there

750
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that don't like bear hunting,

751
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, so we have to be a

752
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: little quiet about the bear hunting. And I'm like, I mean,

753
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: is this really a make or break moment? You know,

754
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: how bad could it be? But I learned a lot

755
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: bear hunting. Actually yeah, yeah. Their dogs do most of

756
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: the work, so you can you can be I mean

757
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: it's kind of a relaxed event, to be honest. Thought

758
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: it was going to be way more time.

759
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 2: Most most hunting as it's done today is a relaxed event,

760
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: like deer hunting. You're sitting in a tree, you got

761
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: a cooler, You're just like, hey, look at me. I'm

762
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: I'm hunting. No, you're sitting.

763
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: I know. I had that like hunter gatherer mentality. I thought,

764
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't know why I did not grow up with hunters.

765
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: So I imagined hunters were all running after things and shooting them.

766
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: But that's not how it happens.

767
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: That's what I want to I want to bow an

768
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: arrow alloincloth. I want to be running. I want to

769
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 2: be picking up dirt, blow it and going yeah, two

770
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: this way and then you run. That's what I.

771
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: Want, right right. I know, No, it's not. It's not

772
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: like that. So the next exciting thing on my list

773
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: for sure is going to be like ice fishing. I

774
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: think that that's probably a lot more energetic.

775
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 2: That's great, Yeah, because you have you have a sweet

776
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: little hut that's just all decked out.

777
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: You can get in a nap and you can and

778
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: you can. Actually, what I don't understand is they go

779
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: out and they have the hut and then they have

780
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: a heater inside the hut, and I feel like there

781
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: is a love. There has to be a little bit

782
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: of a level of excitement there because I mean, are

783
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: you melting the ice? Are you falling through? Is there

784
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: a risk of death? I don't know.

785
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 2: You have that underlying tension of like are we about

786
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: to fall in?

787
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? Exactly right. I don't have to fight for my life.

788
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: Are my muscles all going to give out on me

789
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: because of the cold water? You know that could happen?

790
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: And then you see there every year and I think

791
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: there's got to be some adventure there that I'm missing.

792
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: I go to Africa, Go to Africa. I did stand

793
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: up in South Africa and we did like a Safari thing,

794
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: and there is adventure everywhere everywhere.

795
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: You're like, that sounds like you have to do a

796
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: little running.

797
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 2: Am I going to get killed by bandits? Right out

798
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 2: of right leaving the hotel?

799
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about New York's right.

800
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: It's the same thing. Walk through New York City without

801
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 2: getting mugged or attacked?

802
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: That's right. See, I don't even have to go to Africa.

803
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: Now I can go to San Francisco. Have you not

804
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: heard right?

805
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 2: Yeah? San Francisco Safari. Try to make it through without

806
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 2: stepping on a needle? Is that guy homeless or crazy

807
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: or both? Was that human poop or dog poop. I

808
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 2: don't I know.

809
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,040

810
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: just get birth? We don't know. There's anything can happen

811
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: in San Francisco on the streets.
