There was, man, this is so funny. 67 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: There was this back in the arrow when like YouTube 68 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: sketches were like our social currency. I remember there was 69 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: a mockumentary about Crossfire that I thought was so funny. 70 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: It was about these guys who were lamenting that their 71 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: friend had in fact got caught up in the crossfire. 72 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: You don't recover from some ship like that. You know. 73 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: I feel like I need to look up because I 74 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: could have sworn the announced a film, but I thought 75 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: it was maybe just an onion art, like making fun 76 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: of all of the board games that they're like making 77 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: into films. Right. I know that also sounds strangely like accurate. 78 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: Let me see Crossfire. Also, I want to say, whoever 79 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: gave you my credits was like we're going to make 80 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: sure that everything she's ever done, I appreciate it. I 81 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: would say, I really, really appreciate it because I was like, 82 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, who yeah, you you who looked me up. 83 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: You know what it's not. It's not the Crossfire we 84 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: grew up with. It's a different It's a video game. 85 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: So oh, and not the Tucker Carlson Paul Begala Crossfire, 86 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: which was loosely based on the board game. I feel 87 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: like Crossfire, that game, which is not really a board game, 88 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: more of a what do you even call those? It 89 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: was like it was like harlor game. Yeah, it was 90 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: like tabletop fun Like it was like if Hungry Hungry 91 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: Hippos were setting you up to be more accepting of 92 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: the military industrial complex, that's right, and you were probably 93 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: more into like conservation if you played hungry Hungry Hippos. Yeah, 94 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: just get it, secure the secure the balls, hungry Hippos. 95 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: That sounded weird, But Crossfire, I feel like it was 96 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: one of the products that most lived up to it's 97 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: it's hype. We I did get it. I still remember 98 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: my aunt and uncle who got it for me, Like 99 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: how old I was the house we lived in, Like 100 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: just playing it is that ship was so dope.

I p but fine, I guess I'll take it. Yeah, 107 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: what could have been? Yeah? Yeah, all right, Danny, we 108 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: are going to get to know you a little bit 109 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners 110 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: a couple of things we're talking about. We're talking about billionaires. Baby, 111 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: they're our newest rock star, or at least they want 112 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: to be. So we we got Elon Musk tanking and 113 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, the Twitter stock living and dying with him. 114 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: There was also like the New York Times magazine was 115 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: dedicated to billionaires and it's it's all just a real 116 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: head fuck for me. So I wanted to go through that. 117 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: And then we're going to talk about the Gerber Baby 118 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: all that plenty more and also just Gerber baby food 119 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: and how delicious it is. Before we get to any 120 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: of it, Danny, we do like to ask our guests, 121 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Oh my gosh, 122 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: uh mine for my search history? Was twin flames, signs 123 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: and numbers. I'm very into Are you aware of the 124 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: concept of twin flames? Jack am I yeah, no, I'm not. Okay, 125 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: you're into all these theories. I wasn't know. It's basically 126 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: like your soul mate. Your twin flame is like basically 127 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: your soul mate, and so I follow I have like 128 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: an app and uh, not relating to soulmates, but just 129 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: like basically looking out for signs when you're trying to manifest, 130 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: so not just a soul mate. You guys are both 131 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: making faces at me right now. I'm trying to on 132 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing reading. Well, the concept of a twin 133 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: basically your other half, like the person that you're meant 134 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: to be with. To me, I feel like I've done 135 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: much healing at a point that I don't want anyone 136 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: that isn't like at the same level as me. She'll 137 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: probably just be alone forever that I'm kidding. I'm kidding, 138 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: But anyways, I'm very into signs and numbers and I 139 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: see them all the time. Like I was taking a flight. 140 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: In the flight it was a it was gonna land. 141 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: It was three hours and thirty three minutes, and like 142 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: it left at three thirty three. It was like very fascinating, 143 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: like stuff like that. I screenshot it all the time. 144 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: The car in front of me, the license plate had 145 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: seven seven seven And on the podcast I was listening to, 146 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: they were literally like, and you divide it by seven 147 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: seven seven, and I was just like they were talking 148 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: about n F T S or some ship and it 149 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: happened like right when I was looking at it. So 150 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm very into I'm very into that. That is an 151 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: inside in my head. I had a weird I had 152 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: a weird thing where I was watching Nightmare Alley with 153 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper while also watching so I was watching that 154 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: on my phone. Well, the n C Double A Tournament 155 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: was on, and at one point the movie SYNCD up 156 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: with the game and it was North Carolina. It was 157 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: the second round when they were playing Baylor, and they 158 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: both said Hubert at the same time because that was 159 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: the coach of U n C and that was also 160 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: a character's name in Nightmare Alley, and I was like, 161 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm I'm betting it off U n C. 162 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: Like I didn't. I didn't have the follow through, but 163 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: I wish I had because UNC went to the title game, 164 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: even though they were like a nine seed. But I 165 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: was like, man, sometimes this ship really like like I 166 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: don't don't. Yeah, I don't believe in it. But like 167 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: sometimes I'm like, but I mean, come on that ship. 168 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: So something happened there. Yeah yeah, well well I mean 169 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: when when your sports bett and you need signs, you know, 170 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: I'll take signs that don't even make sense, Like that's 171 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: a sign so I'm gonna put all this money here, yeah, 172 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: and that will change my future. Sports is where I 173 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: engage in the sort of magical thinking that I make 174 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: fun of in like Republicans, where I'm just like, yeah, 175 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: like I I will believe the wildest ship like your 176 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: sixers had. What no the Sixers had actually works. That's 177 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: a that is has empirically proven that when I wear 178 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: that my sixers had, they lose. So I just don't 179 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: wear it. They are going to lose in the first round. 180 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: But that's okay. I feel like you, we've got abra 181 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: hat Hicks over here. So I don't want to get 182 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: off of twin flames because I think that is a 183 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: beautiful concept. Is that does twin flames mean that there's 184 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: only one or like philosophically can you have multiple Okay, 185 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: so I personally believe that you have multiple soul mates, 186 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: but they're not there for your entire life. There's something 187 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: also kind of like someone who's supposed to help you 188 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: karmically get to where you're supposed to. So like let's say, yeah, 189 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: or even if you dated someone and it like ended horribly, 190 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: but you learned a lot of things and you were like, well, 191 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: I know now what I don't want and them not 192 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: going to settle for that or I'm not you know, 193 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: or something that spurred you into like, fuck it, I'm 194 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: gonna finally sit down and do this work and hold 195 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: myself accountable and whatever to actually find the person that 196 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: I want to find. Then you find to me your 197 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: twin flame. Now, if you're someone listening like that will 198 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: never fucking happen, then yeah, it'll never fucking happen. I 199 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: totally believe in those things. If you're I don't know 200 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: if y'all saw my tweet, it was my wishing wall. 201 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: It was like from it was almost a decade ago, 202 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: I had made a little wishing. While I was I 203 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: lived in an apartment with two other girls in a 204 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: one bedroom. We were so poor, we were definitely. The 205 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: one of them was a musician, and we were very 206 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: much like we're gonna make it with stars in our 207 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: eyes and whatever. And so we all had a sen 208 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: while we wrote down what we wanted, and on my 209 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: wishing wall it said to write television, to get a 210 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: literary agent. It was like all of the things on 211 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: my wall came true. And I firmly believe if I 212 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: were like, this will never happen, it wouldn't happen. You 213 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: have to, like you have to like radically believe that 214 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: it will happen. You have to like almost stupidly. That's 215 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: why we see so many stupid people out here doing 216 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: well because it just stupidly fully believe that they can 217 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: and they do. Yeah. Intention setting is like very very 218 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: important because it really does. It sets you up in 219 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: your subconscious to begin to be focusing on something like 220 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, I was. I've tried to set intentions like 221 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: that of Like, there's something different when you put pen 222 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: to paper to write something out, to say I am 223 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: going to do this, rather than talking it like I'm 224 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. 225 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: There's just something that happens when you sort of intentionally 226 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: sort of begin to express those things. So yeah, I 227 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: feel like you you got it. Got to set your intentions, 228 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, to your point, perception is reality at the 229 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: end of the day. So if you are out here, 230 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, believe that everything is not going to go 231 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: your way, you're typically probably going to be existing in 232 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: a reality where you're focused on all the things that 233 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: aren't going your way when they could be actually going 234 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: your way. But it's really just about how you're setting 235 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: your perception up. But yeah, it's a confirmation bias. If 236 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: you think like everything always goes wrong for me, we 237 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: could all every single day and name all the things 238 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: that go wrong for us. We just don't. Often it 239 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: takes work to focus on the things that are going 240 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: well and to try to like map those out and 241 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: accumulate those in over time. Even me, I'm so past 242 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: those goals now now. When I look back, when I 243 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: found that in like a bunch of paperwork I had, 244 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, these are not my 245 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: goals at all, and it feels small because I accomplished 246 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: them years ago. But this was my huge goals and dreams. 247 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: So I think we just never look back at our 248 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: old goals and realize that we did achieve and give 249 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: yourself some props to for that. I'm impressed that you 250 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: use magical thinking to achieve your life's goals. And I 251 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: used it to almost make a bet on Carolina tar 252 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: Heels that I didn't make and they didn't even win 253 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: the title. Anyways, what is something you think is overrated? Yeah? 254 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: I have this is probably that we all know this, 255 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: but I just feel like I need to say this. 256 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: Playing Devil's Advocate, I still see it so much. It's 257 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: so not necessary, like the devil doesn't need advocates. And 258 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: also I feel like anytime someone engages with me to 259 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: play Devil's Advocate, I feel they get to walk away, 260 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: and it's not something that I get to walk away from. 261 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: A lot of times it's my identity or issues that 262 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, queer women of color are going through that 263 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: I'll be speaking about, and then that person is like, well, 264 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: to play Devil's advocate. You know, even liberals, I'm telling 265 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: you liberals, and even people in the queer community, specifically 266 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: white queer people. I feel like often do that to me, 267 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: and it's just like that's a game. A lot of 268 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: times that you get to walk away from that. Normally 269 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: the person that you're playing with doesn't get to so 270 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: it's like, I'm just wearing an asshole shaped costume right now, 271 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: and I will do my assholeness. But then I will 272 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: shed that and I'll go on with my dad. I'll 273 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: be like, well, no, that was just me wearing a 274 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: costume back there playing Devil's Advocate. Um, yeah, because I mean, 275 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: I think the only times it may be constructive is 276 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: if you're maybe bringing up like the one point people 277 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: are avoiding where that sentiment comes out, where you're expressing it, 278 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: but not in the sense of like the most hardcore 279 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: thing of being like, let me completely contradict your point 280 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: and speak it as fact under the guys of playing 281 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: Devil's Advocate. But yeah, that's uh, that's true. That's when 282 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: you do that, it does give you like sort of 283 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: a temporary identity as a piece of ship if you 284 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: want to on social media. And there's also just so 285 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: much like you know, violence, like with with words on 286 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: social media that it like you need to really trust 287 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: someone to like have that conversation. I think when when 288 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: it's somebody who is like you, you've earned the right 289 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: to have that conversation. That's fine if like you're at 290 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: a place where it could be like, all right, I'm 291 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: gonna say this, but I don't mean it, like very 292 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: clear boundaries are set ahead of time. But it's just 293 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: the Internet and social media have like fucked it up 294 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: for you to just be able to come in fucking 295 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: half cocked and just be like, yo, like what if 296 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: I said this? I was like, well, you just said that, 297 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: and that's not saying if no, it's not. My favorite 298 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: is when people are like, well if I said that, 299 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: I would be in trouble. I'm like, you would. Good 300 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: thing that I said it? Oh my good thing? You 301 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: didn't say it. So you're somewhat You're somewhat smart enough 302 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: to understand what's going on here. What's something you think 303 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: is underrated? I love that. I'm like being serious because 304 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: normally my my answers are like a goofy movie Good Burger, 305 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: which I still think are Batman and Robin. I also 306 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: want to say underrated, um, underrated. Not here, I'm on 307 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: a I'm on a kick today. You also thank you 308 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: for giving this platform not replying to tweets that don't 309 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: relate to you, like I feel so many times people 310 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: tweet me, we're talking about me, I will just say me, 311 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: I'll tweet something and I'm like for those that this 312 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: resonates with, and then I'll have something about hanging in 313 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: or writing or writer's block or whatever, and people will 314 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: respond and be like not for me, though, And I'm like, 315 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: there's literally the first part of the sentence says for 316 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: those this resonates with, and I put it on the 317 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: front of like so many of my tweets, so people 318 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: don't respond to me. And I think it's a societal 319 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: I don't think it's just Twitter, although I think that 320 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: that adds to it. But like, for the love of God, 321 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: you have such limited time on this planet, Like, just 322 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: keep scrolling if I can impart something to you this 323 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: week instead of arguing, like just fucking keep scrolling.

I mean, like 329 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: to that point, there's just something like when people do 330 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: ship like that, you're like why do you why do 331 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: you think you need my attention in this situation or 332 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: why are you Because that's what it is.

I mean so many 340 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: people you talk to in person you can tell are 341 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: waiting for their turn to talk, right, Yeah, aren't really 342 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: listening to what you're saying. And I feel like that 343 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: is that instinct rit large across social media, right is 344 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: like them just being like that gave me a completely 345 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: different idea. And this is where I'm gonna put it. 346 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: And because I admire this person and I'm too close 347 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: to realize this idea doesn't like apply to them or 348 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: really have that much value. I'm just like, you know, 349 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: I think we're all very lonely too, like a lot 350 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: of people on social media. It just social media has 351 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: made us very lonely and so like that's just like 352 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: looking for that SPARKT connection in a extremely misguided way. Yeah. 353 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: There's one thing too for me though, about accountability, where 354 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: it's just like so much ship is dumped on me constantly. 355 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: I feel like I had a big platform, and I'm 356 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: constantly trying to pull people up, you know, speaking on 357 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: my own experience of the ship that I've gone through 358 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: and how I survived and got out of it, and 359 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: so I talked about that a lot, and I feel 360 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: like people just I cannot pull up people also that 361 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: don't want to be pulled up, that aren't ready to 362 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: be you know what I mean. It's like when I 363 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: was in the thick of it, it's like, fuck, you 364 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: don't say that to me. Don't know, I don't have 365 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: any hope. But like that's why I started to start 366 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: my tweets that way. It's like, for for who I 367 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: needs to hear this, Clearly, it's not you.

Going back to signs, sometimes I'll open 372 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: Twitter literally had this happen where I was like spiraling 373 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: off my ass, having a really hard time, and I 374 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: just I asked for a specific sign, open Twitter, and 375 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: it was like this.

And yeah. 454 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: So I was out of the country for a little while. 455 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: So I got back over the weekend and spent Sunday 456 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: catching up all my stories and by that, I mean, 457 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: what are my billionaires up to you guys? Elon Musk? Yeah, yeah, 458 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just like a weird like 459 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: the New York Times magazine was all about billionaires and 460 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: there's like all these news alerts about like fucking what 461 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is gonna do to Twitter? And it just 462 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I was like, fuck, this this is 463 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: our country. But yeah, so I don't know, just like 464 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: I guess the update. The news hook for this is 465 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: that Elon Musk had bought a controlling interest in Twitter 466 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: and then has announced I guess it was Monday morning 467 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: that he would not be joining the board. But like 468 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: the the way the incentive structure set up is when 469 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: it was announced he had a controlling interest, Twitter stock 470 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: shot up, and when it was announced that he wasn't 471 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: going to take a seat on the board, it went 472 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: it went down temporarily. I don't know where it's at 473 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: right now. The CEO was like, it's okay, we still 474 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: we still welcome his ideas. I'm going to talk to 475 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: him all the time, so it's all good. But I 476 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: just feel like we are in this world like there, 477 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: this is like who grown ups treat the way that 478 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: like boy bands were when I was an adolescent were 479 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: treated by adolescent children. It's like they are just idolized, 480 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: and it's just like there there's a projection of like 481 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: hopes and dreams and you know, blamelessness and coolness onto 482 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: these people that are not blameless and are not cool, 483 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: very well, very not cool. I think it just indicates, though, 484 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: like how sick our society is when we're idolizing people 485 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: whose whole like identity is based on extracting as much 486 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: wealth out of the planet as possible and not having 487 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: any kind of like not a single real, real altruistic 488 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: bone in their body. And we're like this is so 489 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: lit y'all, and we're not actually even examined, like we're 490 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: not even examining the origins of the wealth. We're just 491 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: accepting that it it is what it is, and not 492 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: taking and not doing the accounting of those dollars and say, 493 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: how many shattered fucking souls are there because of the 494 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: wealth that isn't there too, Whether that's employment because jobs 495 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: have moved, or lack of pay equity or whatever what 496 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: have you. That's you know, ends up being the byproducts 497 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: of hes having these kinds of like oligarchs and yeah, 498 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: we're just here being like I feel like we've always 499 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: I mean, we have more billionaires now though now now 500 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: than yeah so, but I feel like we've always been 501 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: the society and especially like entertainment or whatever, like they've 502 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: always been super capitalistic, always been like you know, the 503 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: used to be seen as something to strive to be 504 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: like a millionaire billionaire or whatever. Now I see it's 505 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: pivoted in a way of like save us. Does that 506 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: make sense?

Uh, I 577 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: think that's what it was.

And then once 647 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: they get there, all of a sudden, now you're not. 648 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: I just personally don't. I personally feel like, especially when 649 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: it comes to people of color, like there's no amount 650 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: of money that that can out can undo childhood trauma, 651 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: can undo like things that you grew up with, the 652 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: horrific things that you might have experienced. And like I 653 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: see a lot of people that do end up pumping 654 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: that money back into their communities, and yet when they complain, 655 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 1: Like one person that just comes to mind is say Lebron, 656 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: and anytime he says anything, I feel the comments are 657 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: always like, oh boo, who you fucking millionaire? Like go 658 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: right in your mansion. I'm super curious about the cognitive 659 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: dissonance or like I don't know. I would love to 660 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: hear you think. I think it's because everyone has a 661 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: simmer simmering resentment for the wealthy, just in general. If 662 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: in general, yeah, if you if you are struggling, if 663 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: you live paycheck to paycheck, or maybe you are somewhat 664 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: financially stable and you feel that you can get more. 665 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: I think there is just this like human nature thing 666 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: of especially now because the inequality is so fucking severe 667 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: and in everyone's faces that it's really hard to look 668 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 1: at someone who you from your place, you say they 669 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: have a probably problem for your life because of their 670 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: the means that they have. That that motivates people to 671 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: then say, you don't get to complain because you have 672 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: your financial like your wealthy. And I think when people 673 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: hear that who don't have things like that's the first 674 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: thing that like sort of resonates with them is like, well, 675 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: if I had money, I wouldn't be complaining after And 676 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: it comes out like that very reflexibly. Like for me, 677 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: where things cross the line is where your suit of 678 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: accumulating wealth is directly connected with like decision making that 679 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: you know is going to put other people at a 680 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: disadvantage and you know that by saying, well, I'd rather 681 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: shoot you know, if you're if you're in film or 682 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: something to say, I actually don't want to shoot there 683 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 1: because I like being in this part better. And they're saying, well, actually, 684 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: like we have this whole crew that we're working with, 685 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. It's like, no, I'd rather shoot it 686 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: in Europe than in this place or whatever. And now 687 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: those people are losing a job because of maybe something 688 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: very personal to you, I mean, whatever, what have you. 689 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: But I think the bigger thing is when you have 690 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: people who make these decisions on behalf of their companies 691 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,919 Speaker 1: that are either moving the operations, downsizing and things like that, 692 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: so you can begin to find other ways to you know, 693 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: make your stock price perform or what have you. But 694 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: I think it is there's just like we just don't 695 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: because everybody is so aware of inequality. It's just a 696 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: bad time to be very visible and wealthy and like 697 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: have a take to have it take. No, that's true. 698 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: I just thought that, you know, weeks ago, I wasn't 699 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: on for I'm sure you guys had this discussion. But like, 700 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: even with the stuff that happened to Ryan Coogler, I'm 701 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: like no amount of money protects you from like I 702 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: just I just don't there's just a conversation I understand 703 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: the conversation with with wealth. I just think that a 704 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: lot of times people think, oh, once you're rich, that's it, 705 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 1: no problems now, like you know, and it just doesn't. 706 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that any amount of money can undo 707 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: some of the racial harm that people have and continue 708 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: to experience. Oh well yeah, I mean that's that's a certainty, 709 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 1: you know. But those are the comments that you see. 710 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: So anyways, not to take us on a tangent, I 711 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: just was curious, at like, what point you think it 712 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: flips that people would be rooting for you, rooting for 713 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: you wise any bigger? Why is any bigger? And then 714 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: when you're bigger, it's like, well, fuck you for complaining. Yeah, 715 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: I mean it's you kind of have to. I feel 716 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: like you have to look at what they like. The 717 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,479 Speaker 1: reason I brought up the philosopher King article is because 718 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: the ship that like they're talking about is all like 719 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: he's around themselves with really interesting philosophers. You get out 720 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: a million dollars each year to like somebody who has 721 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: the most interesting philosophical ideas. I was just reading the 722 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: whole thing being like wait for it, wait for it 723 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: when you're gonna say the thing that is like his 724 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 1: belief that he deserves to have billions of dollars and 725 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: that you know, like basically by existing and like by 726 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: you know, having these beliefs about like keeping wealth concentrate 727 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: the way, it is like he is doing active harm. 728 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: So like that's you know, if he had like come 729 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: out and been like and here's my like twelfth step 730 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: planned to redistribute like all my wealth and you know 731 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: like get pull people up, and like I would have 732 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: been you know, I'm I want to be able minded. 733 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: I won't I want a solution to this problem. I 734 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,800 Speaker 1: don't want it to just be like well, funk all 735 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: any category of people. But it just feels like there 736 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: is a poisoning that happens when you get to that 737 00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: level because you are only around other people who are 738 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: either trying to grow your wealth or trying to grow 739 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: their wealth but via yours, and like it just yeah, 740 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: I think it can be somewhat crazy making and it's 741 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 1: just bad for bad for society. Yeah, I think. I mean, yeah, 742 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, well, that's not that it 743 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: will happen, but if we just need to agree upon 744 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: a number, so I agree, I agree. I also think 745 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: there's this thing that I learned about the old school 746 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,800 Speaker 1: wealthy that always gives me a little bit of hope. 747 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: The old school, like the Vanderbilts and Ship, like that 748 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 1: they had a policy to never like outwardly show any wealth, 749 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: never like you know, build the walls high so nobody 750 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: could see, like what your house looked like. And Ship 751 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: because there was this thing where like you like, there's 752 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: this analysis of class in America that's like you are 753 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 1: aware of the class directly above you and directly below you, 754 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: and you generally don't like them or look down on them, 755 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: and then everything else is like you don't really know 756 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,760 Speaker 1: that it exists. And so for the vast majority of Americans, 757 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: for the vast majority of the history of the country, 758 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: billionaires did not exist because they just kind of hit 759 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: and put their name on colleges and you know, our 760 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: institutes and ship. But now that there's transparency and there's 761 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: this like I'm gonna be a rock star side of it, 762 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: like it gives me some hope that we will eventually 763 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: eat elon musk, but that our tastes are so yeah, 764 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: like yeah, then being like, yo, shut the funk up, bro, 765 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: keep that ship low right right, Like the Vanderbilts are like, 766 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, scoffing down there or whatever the fuck they 767 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: wear on their face at Elon Musk, they're like, you 768 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: know that that is foolished by their standards. But I 769 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he's just evolved it to a new 770 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: level because people will seem to they don't give him 771 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: the type of ship they give Lebron. I'll tell you 772 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,439 Speaker 1: that much. No no clue why that could be. Yeah, 773 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: I know, there's literally nothing different between. All right, let's 774 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:25,240 Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come right back. And 775 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: we're back, And it is that time again that I 776 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: didn't know was an annual time of the year, but 777 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: apparently it is.

That's iconic, right, the 803 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: Gerber baby. It's like a charcoal sketch. But right, so 804 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: the it started with a contest in nine and it 805 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,760 Speaker 1: was for artists drawings because nobody had a fucking camera, 806 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: and charcoal sketch ended up winning. And they didn't reveal 807 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,720 Speaker 1: the identity of the baby or I guess the artist 808 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: until night, so fifty years later.
