0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Cool Zone Media. Welcome to it could happen here. It

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>is twenty twenty four.

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>A lie, it's twenty twenty three.

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Robert has just pissed everybody off for the last three

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>minutes and fourteen seconds.

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>That listener, Sophie is gaslighting you. It is still December.

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>When they listen to this, it'll be twenty twenty four.

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't know that.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I do know that I'm in charge. Okay, moving on,

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do some listener questions today, but I just

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted to, you know, give a shout out to each

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>member of our team. We have Shrien Lanna Enis, we

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>have James Stout, we have Mio Wong, we have Garrison Davis,

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>and we have Big Bobby E.

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 2>That's right, that's right.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And we're going to answer some listener questions. Thank you

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>for those, to those who have submitted, anybody else want

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to say anything before I start?

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Besides Robert, thank you about half of those.

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you need to have a chat with yourselves.

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 3>You know who you are.

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they do. I don't think our listeners

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>are very self actualized.

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, Sophie, take it away to each of you.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Any book recommendations for introduction to anarchist history and or theory.

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>If I may.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 4>There's a book called Great Anarchists by Dog Section Press.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 4>It's written by Ruth Kinner, who's been on the podcast.

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 4>It's got very short bios of different great anarchists. I

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 4>think you will enjoy it. I think you can get

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 4>the PDF for free online. I like to print them

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 4>out and put them in a little libraries a rich

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 4>people like to have in their neighborhoods and red pill them,

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 4>black pill them slowly that way. So yeah, Great Anarchists

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 4>by Dog Section Press from Dog Section Press by Ruth McKinnon.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 5>My one is kind of it's slightly more specialized, but

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 5>Anarchism in Latin America is a great book. Also, the

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 5>cover is just gorgeous, so you'll have that around all

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 5>the time. But yeah, it's really good.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>It's good.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 5>Basically it goes country by countries through Latin America and

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 5>talk about allthr anarchist movements and it's great.

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess it's not. It's sort of anarchists, I suppose.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 3>But I've been doing a lot of union stuff recently,

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 3>so I've been thinking a lot about the concept of work.

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 3>So I've kind of returned to this really good book

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Crime Think put out titled Work Very very basic, look

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 3>into sort of like anarchist almost like anti work theory.

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 3>It's just a nice book to interrogate how the concept

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 3>of like work in labor exists in your own head.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 3>I've appreciated that one through the years.

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Shrine or Robert, either of you.

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 6>I second all those answers. Amazing answers.

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Everybody, Well, yeah, I cannot read, so I'm gonna second

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>those answers.

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Robert recommends the book. Isn't it like the No God's

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 3>No Master's a k Press one with the Chaos Star.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a lot of like old anarchists essays and

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>shit starting in like the eighteen hundreds, So if you're

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 2>interested in that kind of history, you can read.

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>That all right. Next question. I think this will be

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>different depending on the type of episode and like what

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>show people are writing it for. But I got several

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>different people asking, you know, how long it takes to

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>research rate like an average episode, So we're talking like

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>not talking like a series such as Garrison's Stop Coop

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>City series, but like an average episode where you're talking

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>about something and it's a scripted episode, but you're talking

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>about something sure.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean some episodes take months if but an

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 3>average episode, usually if I'm putting it together, it might

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 3>take me like four days from start to completion. Like

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking of my of my DeSantis fast Wave episodes.

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 3>Usually you'll have like maybe two days of more research

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 3>and then two days of like well, then like one

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 3>day of like script and then editing that script on

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 3>like the fourth day, and then you record. So yeah,

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 3>maybe maybe around that. I mean, some episodes come together

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 3>faster as some episodes come together longer. It really really varies.

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 6>Shoot shoo, Yeah, I would agree with that timeline. I

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 6>think three to four days sounds about right. I've been

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 6>trying to take an extra day just to read through

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 6>the script like multiple times, just because I've been it's

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 6>just better for like my performance. It's like, where does

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 6>that sounds?

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>So? Yeah, I would say, like, uh, when you write

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>a script, the worst thing you can do is immediately

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>read it after you've finished writing it.

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 6>And I've made that mistake before. I would definitely have,

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 6>so taking time is important.

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, James, me and Robert, anything you want to add.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I spent thirty five years preparing for the sheet podcasts. Yeah,

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>it really depends on the episode. If it's an interviewer,

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll spend maybe a couple of hours, you know, studying

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 2>up on everything the person has said. If it's a

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>scripted episode, a scripted half hour to forty five minutes

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 2>of the show is generally five to seven pages. That's

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 2>maybe an hour or two to write, and then four

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>to six hours of research. Although it kind of depends,

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, because a lot of it's based on just

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>sort of like ongoing research, right, where whereas like something

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>will happen in the news and we'll do some studying

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>up on that event. But we're also keeping in touch

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 2>with like like when we have episodes on terrorist attacks

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot. Like I don't know how to actually like

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 2>lay out how much time goes into those episodes, because

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 2>a large part of it is just the process of

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 2>like keeping up with the way terror is evolving in America.

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 2>We will have beats, right, Like we will have that

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>we just keep up with.

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like we're not counting all the time that we

0:05:55.760 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>spend like in telegram just like watching right, but but yeah, yeah,

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.600
<v Speaker 3>sure it.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 4>Second time this year Garrison's found themselves too old to

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 4>understand a youth reference.

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 1>My next question, what conspiracy theory or unsolved mystery do

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>each of you believe in?

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 3>The dangerous question? First answer on air.

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I just want to point out that Garrison

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>sent me this question to ask, so there must.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 6>Be an answer in mind.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, are a Garrison danger Davis?

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, I I don't know what what even I'm

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 3>not sure if I believe in anything that would be

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 3>classified as a conspiracy theory, I would have to I

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>would have to think on this. Actually, I don't know.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe in it. I fucking love bohemium growth stuff.

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 2>It's like one of the ogs, you know, from the

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 2>beginnings of the Internet, and it just can't get enough

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 2>about people who have just never deviated from the bohemian growth.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 2>That dude who went there with the combination AR fifteen

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 2>shotgun and tried to destroy Bohemian grove legend. I love

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 2>reading about that stuff. It's nonsense, but it's fun.

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean, like I actually have Sorry, oh oh no,

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 5>go please, okay, okay, we'll we're doing We're doing We're

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 5>doing this oneing. Okay, if you if you were on

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 5>the live show, you've heard this. If you were not

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 5>on the live show you have which is that?

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 5>From from the late nineteen seventies until the early nineteen

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 5>eighties when it was busted by the Italian police, the

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 5>Italian government is run by a rogue Masonic lodge called

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 5>the Peach Organization. God, you know, it's propaganda duet, very

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 5>various elements, Okay. So there's this thing going on here,

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 5>there's various elements. Use the Red Brigades as as a

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 5>way to assassinate Eldo Morrow. They take them to a

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 5>hotel that is like it's run by like one of

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 5>the Red Cardinals.

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Is one of the sort of the communist cardinals.

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 5>Is like in this building is like a NATO weapons

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 5>is like someone a NATO weapons dealer, an Italian general.

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Red lasers. I think I see a red laser hovering

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 3>over this is all real. This was this.

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Look, this is the Raises eighty three.

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 5>It's the thing.

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Is the thing?

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Is that? Okay?

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 5>So every conspiracy theory on earth is real, but it

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 5>was only real from about nineteen seventy seven to nineteen

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 5>eighty three in Italy. Like all of them are there

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 5>at the same time, Like during the alder Moro assassination.

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.839
<v Speaker 5>Like the two groups trying to free Elder Morro are

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.599

<v Speaker 3>Do we believe they or not? That's that's the real question.

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that that's someone else's job to decide.

<v Speaker 6>I'm really excited.

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>We're launching a weekly show with Jimmie Loftus starting in

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.400

<v Speaker 1>look out for that.

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 5>I Okay, I've been working on this for a fucking

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 5>year now, but it's coming next year, which is my

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.280

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 5>corkboard that makes that entire Italy Doubts corkboard. I've spent

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.959
<v Speaker 5>so many hours talking to epidemiologists. Yeah, losing my mind.

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 5>But it's coming, it will happen. I'm very excited about it.

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.079
<v Speaker 3>You have been talking about these episodes for quite a while.

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Literally a year. Yeah, it's I have agreed to do

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.679
<v Speaker 2>a podcast that is going to be a nightmare, but

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 2>you'll you'll all love it. You'll all love it as

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>it ruins my life. And uh, I don't know. Probably

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 2>eventually the Robert E. Lee episodes, we'll get those out.

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 2>You know what I've been doing. I've been working on

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>a T E. Lawrence series of episodes so that I'm

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 2>very excited about, amazing Lawrence of Arabia, the guy who

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>invented the concept of insurgency. So that'll that'll be good.

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 2>That'll be a good series.

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.719
<v Speaker 4>I hope Robert and I get to go back to

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 4>Amy and Ma and do maybe a visit to some

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 4>different groups. That would be cool. I would like that.

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited to do more migration stuff. Yeah, spend more

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 4>time and on different parts of the migration journey, because

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 4>I think that's something I've wanted to do for a

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 4>long time, and like I've.

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Seen a lot of people do really shitty versions of it.

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 4>So I'm excited to give you a cracket at not

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 4>doing a cringe, veryeuristic version of that.

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Everyone else have an answer to that, did you answer, Shranny?

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 6>I didn't. I feel like I have two answers, like one,

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 6>I'm not excited at all, because I feel like the

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 6>most when I'm most motivated, it's when i'm the most angry,

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 6>and so I'm not excited for things to make me

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 6>angry and upset, but I am looking forward to I

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 6>think I like when I have people on that are

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 6>like experts or they have knowledge that I don't, and

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 6>so I like the possibility of having more conversations that

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 6>are enlightening, I suppose. And yeah, I also I would

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 6>like to talk more about corn and food that maybe

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.199
<v Speaker 6>I should focus on that, maybe I should focus on

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 6>something could happen here. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's something I

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 6>look forward to, something to be fun.

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 3>We definitely want to do more far animal episode, yes,

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.959
<v Speaker 3>and more food episodes, but no, surely you You bring

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 3>up a good point about how this kind of whole

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:11.080
<v Speaker 3>show works is that all of the best stuff we make,

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.079
<v Speaker 3>in my opinion, is always related to things that we're

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 3>passionate about, and passion can come in a few forms.

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Anger is something that is a big driver of passion,

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 3>but that's you know, usually less fun. So it's always

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 3>nice and we can be able to cover something that

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 3>we are passionate about, but it comes from not a

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 3>place of anger. But it comes from a place of like,

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 3>like like genuine like intense interest.

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, like I genuinely love corn. I loved the conversation

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 6>about sheep, So I look forward to the possibility of

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 6>making things not just when I'm like enraged and more

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 6>when I'm like that's a good point. That's a good

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 6>point that passion can can come from different things, because

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 6>I was just as passionate talk about corn than I

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 6>was to talk about an important thing that happened.

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I have a specific question that I vetted

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to James ahead of time, which is, do you have

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>any stories about meeting fans or listeners?

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 4>I r l.

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 5>I do.

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 4>I've just tepping onto your York and air your trauma.

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Please approach Robert when he's playing groceries. But but yeah, yeah, no,

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 4>do do it.

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't.

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 2>He's very ticklish. I am always armed in the grocery store,

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 2>so please don't do That's why you kind of tickle him.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Don't tick or rubbitt guys. It's weird.

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so loads of people are not loads, but a

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 4>lot of people who have listened to our podcast who

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 4>come to help in a cumber and they're all very nice.

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 4>And I've enjoyed building gorts and making sandwiches and ladeling

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 4>out beans with them immensely, and it genuinely does make

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 4>me really happy because it can like when we do

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 4>the podcast, we see like each other in our little

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 4>rooms and and then it just goes out into the

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 4>ether and you never know who's listening. And so it's

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 4>really cool when people listen and then like show up

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 4>and do something that meaningfully makes the world a better place.

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 4>And that makes me feel very hopeful. And that's another

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 4>like passion I think, Like I think, especially the mutual

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 4>age stuff we've done at the border, it makes me

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 4>feel really hopeful that like we can do things just

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 4>fine without the state and without the resources of Masters

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 4>of capital and without any major sort of orgs or

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 4>like institutions behind us, Like we can just help each

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 4>other and do amazing things. So yeah, when people show

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 4>up for that, it's cool. Slightly weird when they show

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 4>up listening to the podcast and I hear myself in

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 4>their car, it's not okay. But other than that, yeah,

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 4>I try to catch up with those people. Yeah, yeah,

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 4>I too would be trying to catch up if I

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 4>had to listen to all the stuff we put out.

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 6>I think it's honestly really cool that people show up

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 6>for that kind of stuff. It makes it makes so

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 6>much of the weird parts of being a podcast host

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 6>worth it when stuff like that.

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's something that that me has been pointing out recently,

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 3>how we seem to be one of in terms of, like,

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, podcasts that that that cover the sort of

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 3>things we do. We're our fan base seems to be

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 3>relatively offline in a lot of ways, and a lot

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 3>of a lot of them Actually, a lot of the

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 3>people actually do a lot of real world stuff, which

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 3>is great. Like that's that that That's kind of the

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.359
<v Speaker 3>entire point is that most of the things we talk about,

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 3>there's there's there's ways that you have the power to

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.399
<v Speaker 3>change it in small ways.

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 3>It's no like large immediate effects, like you solve the

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.479
<v Speaker 3>problem immediately, but there's there's always small things that can

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.119
<v Speaker 3>that can slowly change the tide of many of the

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.880
<v Speaker 3>problems that we discuss every day.

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're gonna through through to an ad break here

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>unless you have cooler zone media and Android listeners that

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 1>is coming soon. I it's a little bit out of

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 1>our control on that end, but we do. Ask about

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>it constantly and it will be happening.

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 2>If you have a Cooler Zone account, you cannot die.

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>That's fun, that's a good It's the true fact. So

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 2>purchase it to yourself, immune to the passage of time.

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And we're back. I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna ask, what's

<v Speaker 3>Batman Returns watch party, which was a great, a great

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 3>success this year. It was a big hit. I made tons.

0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 3>I made about probably like four dozen lotcaus.

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:38.840

<v Speaker 2>We got to.

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Wow, Wow, Robert, you should do this for jobs kind

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 3>of humor.

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy, what a dub.

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 3>But no, we got we got a nice group of

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 3>people to to google at Danny Dibrito vomiting black U

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 3>for approximately two hours. O. That was a big win.

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 3>It's it's by far the best Christmas movie in my in.

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 6>My no, I agree, it's my favorite one by far,

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 6>and Banger and my family have watched it consistently since

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:12.560
<v Speaker 6>I was like a child, like but like since I

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.159
<v Speaker 6>was like two years old as old. We just were

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 6>obsessed with it. And I don't remember if you said

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 6>this last year and I already this is like a

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 6>repeat of the conversation. But I agree, that's the best

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 6>Christmas movie I can think of.

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Michael Keaton, total domination.

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 6>Here we go, best best Batman by miles. He's just

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.119
<v Speaker 6>miles away from So.

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>When I was growing up, my parents used to ditch

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.679
<v Speaker 1>my brother and I and go to the Laker game on.

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Christmas and we just explained so much.

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so much, Sophie.

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, think I love you, I love your parents

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 1>and I and I respect it. But my brother and

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I used to watch like we would spend the entire

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.119
<v Speaker 1>day watching all the like Hobbin and Lord of the

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Rings movies.

0:19:58.400 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Nice.

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Nice, that just feels that feels like Christmas to me.

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I mean yeah, especially the animated ones definitely have

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 3>that kind of like fantasy jolly kind of feel.

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Totally Yeah, I uh yeah, anybody else.

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 4>I like to watch Love actually, but it's very pretty dreams.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.119
<v Speaker 4>It's so basic of you, I know, Yeah, I'm secretly

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 4>basic White Lady. Every time I watch it's something else

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 4>problematic that I hadn't previously fought before, And it's getting

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 4>to a point where I should probably stop talking about

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:31.399
<v Speaker 4>it in public.

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:32.160
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing.

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, now the audience knows who's the biggest wife guy

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 3>on the team.

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Is definitely James. This is a question for Robert, looking

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 1>back on season one, if it could happen here, do

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.239
<v Speaker 1>you still see a second civil American Civil War as

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a likely or plausible event in our near future?

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think it's possible. We're going to

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 2>look back on where we are right now as the

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 2>earlier stages of it. Right civil conflict is pretty widespread.

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the differences, like, for example, one

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 2>of the big differences with.

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 3>That the Texas California Alliance.

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeahour Civil War movie is it's clearly imagining like a

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>large scale military conflict. I don't find that particularly likely.

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>But you do have.

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 2>One major political party stating that when we take power

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.159
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four, our guys going to act as

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 2>a dictator. He's going to imprison and execute his political opponents.

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 2>And you have widespread acts of violence and violent threats

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:46.680
<v Speaker 2>that are occurring as part of a as part of

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 2>the political conflicts that have existed in this country for

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 2>a while. They've all transitioned to being kind of explicitly

0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>acts of public violence or at least public threats of violence.

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>You're seeing this, for example, lot of the discourse surrounding

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:03.640
<v Speaker 2>what's happening in Gaza, Right, you just had that case

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:07.639
<v Speaker 2>where like some fucking like grade school teacher threatened to

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 2>cut a student's throat for criticizing Israel. Like the degree

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 2>to which people who are, if you'll forgive the less

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 2>technical term, pieces of shit, feel emboldened to use and

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 2>threaten violence in the furtherance of their political agendas is

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 2>something we may wind up seeing. Is like, yeah, we

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 2>were in it by this point. So again I'm not

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 2>a believer, and a big part of it could happen

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.160
<v Speaker 2>here is like, don't I don't think any mass civil

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 2>conflict in the United States is going to be armies

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 2>fighting over states, right, yeah, because that's that's simply not realistic.

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:51.360
<v Speaker 2>But I do think we are in what any reasonable

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 2>person would call a mass civil conflict. And you know,

0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 2>my big question is whether or not we're going to

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:02.959
<v Speaker 2>see it as a civil conflict or as an extension

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 2>of a global conflict, which includes outright shooting wars but

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:17.360
<v Speaker 2>also mass information warfare in this kind of planetary struggle,

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 2>between the idea, at least if not the promise that

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 2>democracy is the kind of goal, and the strongly held

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.080
<v Speaker 2>belief by large groups of people that we need an

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:38.680
<v Speaker 2>authoritarian system governed effectively by the people who are presently

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 2>in power. Right you are seeing this kind of struggle

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.399
<v Speaker 2>between the idea that we should have a system in

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 2>which people are allowed to pick their leaders and this

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 2>idea that, like the winners of the last twenty years

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 2>of capitalism and politics, should be able to solidify their

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.639
<v Speaker 2>hold forever. So my big question is whether or not

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 2>we're going to come to see where we are right

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:03.760
<v Speaker 2>now as the early stages of a civil conflict that's

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 2>going to get progressively more violent and have a progressively

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.440
<v Speaker 2>higher body count. Or are we going to see this

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>as part of a global military and political struggle that

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 2>is going to kind of shake out the next hundred

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:23.120
<v Speaker 2>years of kind of the political status quo on Earth,

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.120
<v Speaker 2>and in a similar way to like World War Two,

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, more or less laid out the next eighty

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 2>or ninety or something like that.

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got two more questions.

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Sounds good.

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.000

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:20.919
<v Speaker 4>Guys, struggle was talking about right here on the side disgusting.

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:25.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's it's certainly hard to even pick one

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 3>episode just from this year. I mean, but it's the

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 3>com episode. Yeah, I will say the episode was fun

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 3>to put together. I we we really delved into the

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 3>the trenches there that few enough would you say it?

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:45.439
<v Speaker 3>Would you say it really came together.

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm going to answer these questions for each

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of you with each of your work. Thank you, Thank

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you because I'm a professional. Garrison skop Crop City were

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 1>because when just that I really tell I tell this

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.879
<v Speaker 1>sticking out of the time. They're the most amazing storyteller.

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:08.439
<v Speaker 1>You really feel like you are. You're able to visualize

0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:11.159
<v Speaker 1>everything going on with the words that they say, and

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's an important story that they've been on

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>top of since the beginning. I don't think anybody covers

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>labor issues in the way that Mia does, and I

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:26.120
<v Speaker 1>think Mia has really done that in twenty twenty three

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and we'll continue that in twenty twenty four in a

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 1>way that's not being covered in mainstream media. And I

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 1>think that those stories are extremely important and have made

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a significant impact on labor and union culture and strikes

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and fighting for what's right. James Man, it's like I

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 1>want to say, I want to say the work you

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>do at the Border, but I really love when you

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about things that are silly, and I think they're

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 1>equally as important. But James James talking about sheep and

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the joy that James had when he talked about sheep

0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:05.120
<v Speaker 1>is U is really special.

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 6>But also the work that.

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 1>You've done talking about the word MEMR and helping people

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>at the border has been extremely impactful to our listeners.

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Shoe Shoe is a historical almanac to all things in

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East and has I think educated not just

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the audience but also all of us on things that

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:34.479
<v Speaker 1>really everyone should know. And I think that she's brilliant

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and I love you. She read Robert.

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Hey Sophie, it's the cup episode, right, That's definitely.

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Not the episode. But it's really hard to pick my

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 1>favorite Robert episode because I record with him like most days.

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:55.360
<v Speaker 1>But I think that what Robert has done specifically within

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Bastards this in twenty twenty three was really get on

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>top of the bastards we're all surviving right now, which

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he did a really great job. Talking about

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Tait, I think he did an incredible job getting

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:15.120
<v Speaker 1>an episode out immediately about Stockton Rush, the guy who

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:16.400
<v Speaker 1>killed those people under.

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Really really the hero of the year, right, the guy

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 2>responsible for the great feel good story of twenty twenty three,

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 2>so much better of a time we need, we need.

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we could solve most of the world's

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 2>problems with another eleven or so of those subs, and

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 2>that is true, and a similar socioeconomic group.

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 1>On board thom You're definitely not not wrong there.

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd just like to say, you know, if you're wondering

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 2>why the New York Times in the Washington Post are

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 2>too big a cowards to do a come episode like

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 2>we did, you know there's an old quote. If you

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 2>want to know who rules, you ask who you can't

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 2>criticize all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying, Garrison. I

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 2>see you, I see you doubting me. But you know

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 2>it's true. You know it's true.

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Anyways, it's our slash no fat.

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's.

0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Should ask another question, But like, really, what's the what's

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the point, what's the point we've climax?

0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:27.000
