It's sort of anarchists, I suppose. 44 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 3: But I've been doing a lot of union stuff recently, 45 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: so I've been thinking a lot about the concept of work. 46 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 3: So I've kind of returned to this really good book 47 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: Crime Think put out titled Work Very very basic, look 48 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: into sort of like anarchist almost like anti work theory. 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: It's just a nice book to interrogate how the concept 50 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: of like work in labor exists in your own head. 51 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: I've appreciated that one through the years. 52 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: Shrine or Robert, either of you. 53 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 6: I second all those answers.

Isn't it like the No God's 57 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: No Master's a k Press one with the Chaos Star. 58 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot of like old anarchists essays and 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: shit starting in like the eighteen hundreds, So if you're 60 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: interested in that kind of history, you can read. 61 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: That all right. Next question. I think this will be 62 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: different depending on the type of episode and like what 63 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: show people are writing it for. But I got several 64 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: different people asking, you know, how long it takes to 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: research rate like an average episode, So we're talking like 66 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: not talking like a series such as Garrison's Stop Coop 67 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: City series, but like an average episode where you're talking 68 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: about something and it's a scripted episode, but you're talking 69 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: about something sure. 70 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean some episodes take months if but an 71 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: average episode, usually if I'm putting it together, it might 72 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: take me like four days from start to completion. Like 73 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: I'm thinking of my of my DeSantis fast Wave episodes. 74 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: Usually you'll have like maybe two days of more research 75 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 3: and then two days of like well, then like one 76 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: day of like script and then editing that script on 77 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 3: like the fourth day, and then you record. So yeah, 78 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: maybe maybe around that. I mean, some episodes come together 79 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: faster as some episodes come together longer. It really really varies. 80 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 6: Shoot shoo, Yeah, I would agree with that timeline. I 81 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 6: think three to four days sounds about right. I've been 82 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 6: trying to take an extra day just to read through 83 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 6: the script like multiple times, just because I've been it's 84 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 6: just better for like my performance. It's like, where does 85 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 6: that sounds? 86 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: So? Yeah, I would say, like, uh, when you write 87 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: a script, the worst thing you can do is immediately 88 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: read it after you've finished writing it. 89 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 6: And I've made that mistake before. I would definitely have, 90 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 6: so taking time is important. 91 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, James, me and Robert, anything you want to add. 92 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: I spent thirty five years preparing for the sheet podcasts. Yeah, 93 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: it really depends on the episode. If it's an interviewer, 94 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: I'll spend maybe a couple of hours, you know, studying 95 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: up on everything the person has said. If it's a 96 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 2: scripted episode, a scripted half hour to forty five minutes 97 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: of the show is generally five to seven pages. That's 98 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 2: maybe an hour or two to write, and then four 99 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: to six hours of research. Although it kind of depends, 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: you know, because a lot of it's based on just 101 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: sort of like ongoing research, right, where whereas like something 102 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: will happen in the news and we'll do some studying 103 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: up on that event. But we're also keeping in touch 104 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: with like like when we have episodes on terrorist attacks 105 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: and whatnot. Like I don't know how to actually like 106 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 2: lay out how much time goes into those episodes, because 107 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 2: a large part of it is just the process of 108 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: like keeping up with the way terror is evolving in America. 109 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: We will have beats, right, Like we will have that 110 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: we just keep up with. 111 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, like we're not counting all the time that we 112 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: spend like in telegram just like watching right, but but yeah, yeah, 113 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 3: sure it. 114 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 4: Second time this year Garrison's found themselves too old to 115 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: understand a youth reference. 116 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: My next question, what conspiracy theory or unsolved mystery do 117 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: each of you believe in? 118 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: The dangerous question?

And yeah, I also I would 260 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 6: like to talk more about corn and food that maybe 261 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 6: I should focus on that, maybe I should focus on 262 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 6: something could happen here.

So it's always 272 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: nice and we can be able to cover something that 273 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: we are passionate about, but it comes from not a 274 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: place of anger. But it comes from a place of like, 275 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: like like genuine like intense interest. 276 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, like I genuinely love corn. I loved the conversation 277 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 6: about sheep, So I look forward to the possibility of 278 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 6: making things not just when I'm like enraged and more 279 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 6: when I'm like that's a good point. That's a good 280 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 6: point that passion can can come from different things, because 281 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 6: I was just as passionate talk about corn than I 282 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 6: was to talk about an important thing that happened. 283 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, I have a specific question that I vetted 284 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: to James ahead of time, which is, do you have 285 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: any stories about meeting fans or listeners? 286 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 4: I r l. 287 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 5: I do. 288 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 4: I've just tepping onto your York and air your trauma. 289 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 4: Please approach Robert when he's playing groceries.

This is a question for Robert, looking 399 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: back on season one, if it could happen here, do 400 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,239 Speaker 1: you still see a second civil American Civil War as 401 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: a likely or plausible event in our near future? 402 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's possible. We're going to 403 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: look back on where we are right now as the 404 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: earlier stages of it. Right civil conflict is pretty widespread. 405 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: I think one of the differences, like, for example, one 406 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: of the big differences with. 407 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: That the Texas California Alliance. 408 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: Yeahour Civil War movie is it's clearly imagining like a 409 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 2: large scale military conflict. I don't find that particularly likely. 410 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: But you do have. 411 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 2: One major political party stating that when we take power 412 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, our guys going to act as 413 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: a dictator. He's going to imprison and execute his political opponents. 414 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: And you have widespread acts of violence and violent threats 415 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 2: that are occurring as part of a as part of 416 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: the political conflicts that have existed in this country for 417 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 2: a while. They've all transitioned to being kind of explicitly 418 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: acts of public violence or at least public threats of violence. 419 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: You're seeing this, for example, lot of the discourse surrounding 420 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: what's happening in Gaza, Right, you just had that case 421 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 2: where like some fucking like grade school teacher threatened to 422 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: cut a student's throat for criticizing Israel. Like the degree 423 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 2: to which people who are, if you'll forgive the less 424 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: technical term, pieces of shit, feel emboldened to use and 425 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 2: threaten violence in the furtherance of their political agendas is 426 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 2: something we may wind up seeing. Is like, yeah, we 427 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: were in it by this point. So again I'm not 428 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 2: a believer, and a big part of it could happen 429 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 2: here is like, don't I don't think any mass civil 430 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: conflict in the United States is going to be armies 431 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 2: fighting over states, right, yeah, because that's that's simply not realistic. 432 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 2: But I do think we are in what any reasonable 433 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: person would call a mass civil conflict. And you know, 434 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 2: my big question is whether or not we're going to 435 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 2: see it as a civil conflict or as an extension 436 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: of a global conflict, which includes outright shooting wars but 437 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 2: also mass information warfare in this kind of planetary struggle, 438 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 2: between the idea, at least if not the promise that 439 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: democracy is the kind of goal, and the strongly held 440 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: belief by large groups of people that we need an 441 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: authoritarian system governed effectively by the people who are presently 442 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: in power. Right you are seeing this kind of struggle 443 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 2: between the idea that we should have a system in 444 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 2: which people are allowed to pick their leaders and this 445 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: idea that, like the winners of the last twenty years 446 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: of capitalism and politics, should be able to solidify their 447 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 2: hold forever. So my big question is whether or not 448 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 2: we're going to come to see where we are right 449 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: now as the early stages of a civil conflict that's 450 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: going to get progressively more violent and have a progressively 451 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: higher body count. Or are we going to see this 452 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: as part of a global military and political struggle that 453 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: is going to kind of shake out the next hundred 454 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 2: years of kind of the political status quo on Earth, 455 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 2: and in a similar way to like World War Two, 456 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 2: you know, more or less laid out the next eighty 457 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: or ninety or something like that. 458 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: I've got two more questions. 459 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: Sounds good. 460 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: First, do you each of you have a favorite episode 461 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: you've put out? 462 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 2: We're all trying not to say the come episode the 463 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 2: same time. 464 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: I really have I have some really bad at all, 465 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: I really some bad news.

They're the most amazing storyteller. 483 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: You really feel like you are. You're able to visualize 484 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: everything going on with the words that they say, and 485 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: I think it's an important story that they've been on 486 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: top of since the beginning. I don't think anybody covers 487 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: labor issues in the way that Mia does, and I 488 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: think Mia has really done that in twenty twenty three 489 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: and we'll continue that in twenty twenty four in a 490 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: way that's not being covered in mainstream media. And I 491 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: think that those stories are extremely important and have made 492 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: a significant impact on labor and union culture and strikes 493 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: and fighting for what's right. James Man, it's like I 494 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: want to say, I want to say the work you 495 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: do at the Border, but I really love when you 496 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: talk about things that are silly, and I think they're 497 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: equally as important.
