Speaker 5: Edmund Fitzgerald down the road, like you steering us to

68

72
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, look like the big timers. Every time I go

73
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 5: around a corner of the amount that I'm like doing this,

74
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 5: that's a reference that's getting even older. It's hard to

75
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 5: push the pedal in my Gator boots, you know, yeah,

76
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: thank you and the pimped out Gucci suit.

77
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: I was very scared of driving cars when I was

78
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: a kid. I was like, I had a recurring night Mamby.

79
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: I think this came from my mom. I think this

80
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: is a pretty common thing that you would just like

81
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: leave the kids in the car and like go into

82
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: the store real quick, like with the you know, crack

83
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: any radio on. I don't think back a window in town,

84
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: and I would have I had a recurring nightmare when

85
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: I was a kid that the car would take off

86
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: with me in it, even into you know, driving age.

87
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: I was very I was very scared.

88
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: Of There's a lot of sentient car media for kids,

89
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: so you get even the best of them half the

90
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: time turn into the bad guy, you know what I mean.

91
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 5: So you need to h whether you've been deceptive in

92
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 5: some sort of way.

93
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

94
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: Victor points out that I might have just been clairvoyant

95
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: and I might have seen the way most coming.

96
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:04,520

129
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 6: Come on, come on, boys, No, I'm from Salt Lake City,

130
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 6: and I've started, for better or Worse recapping the show

131
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 6: for my podcast, and so it's a you know, I

132
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 6: have to be on top of this sort of thing,

133
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 6: but I followed the whole journey, and I'm just so

134
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 6: curious as to what this woman's life is going to

135
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 6: be from here on out, because she like ruined thousands

136
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 6: of people's lives and the idea of her actually not

137
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 6: being a I mean, she must be a psychopath. I

138
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 6: can't imagine her behavior has really changed, but maybe, I mean,

139
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 6: this could be a whole a new thing that shows

140
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 6: me hope and humanity.

141
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Who knows she comes back completely reformed and just goes

142
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: into helping people around Salt Lake City? Right? What?

143
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 6: What?

144
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: What exactly did she get caught doing? Was it like

145
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: a Ponzi scheme?

146
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 6: No, they were like contacting mostly senior citizens and like

147
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 6: telling them that they could like launch businesses and then

148
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 6: emptying their bank accounts. Essentially nice.

149
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 7: Oh wow, Yeah, I'm on her Wikipedia page, which really

150
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 7: charmingly just describes us as legal issues, like.

151
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 6: She got over for speed.

152
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then and then goes into wire fraud and

153
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 7: body laundering and connection with a telemarketing scheme which goes pretty.

154
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Rough kind of. So this happened like as she was

155
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: joining Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, right, like she

156
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: became a star on that show, and we're were people

157
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: like kind of putting it together based on what she

158
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: was doing on that show or like was the spotlight?

159
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Did that have anything to do with her getting caught?

160
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 6: I think the spot I must have had something to

161
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 6: do with it, which is why I think like she

162
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 6: must be a true psychopath because she had been doing

163
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 6: this for a long time and obviously thought she was

164
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 6: never going to get caught. She felt like she could

165
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 6: be the star of a TV show and never I

166
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 6: mean she was dry. I mean, like the amount of

167
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 6: money she seemed to have never made sense with what

168
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 6: the job she was talking about. It was all just

169
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 6: very unclear. But I can't imagine that like law enforcement

170
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 6: was watching the show and then put it together, right

171
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 6: although that, I mean, that'd be incredible.

172
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 7: I do I this little question, sorry, I saw on

173
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 7: the Wikipedia because the scam was like just this version

174
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 7: of like business coaching, like we're gonna we're gonna build

175
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 7: like a business website for you.

176
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: I guess it's the draining bank accounts part that's like

177
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: not so good. I'm just like all this stuff is

178
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: a scam anyway.

179
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, what is the line between this and

180
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: every other capitalist enterprise?

181
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: Like I maybe just poisoned in that regard. I had

182
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: a Richard.

183
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 7: Do you has the recent uptick in like I guess

184
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 7: Mormon shit in pop culture? Does that instill you with

185
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 7: any like hometown? Like, are these the the SLC celebs

186
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,559
Speaker 7: that like you've been waiting for?

187
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 6: These are the people I want representing me in my culture?

188
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: For sure?

189
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 6: No, it's it's it's been a very confusing thing for

190
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 6: me because especially with like The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

191
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 6: Initially I found the show so boring because I was

192
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 6: just like, these are essentially women I went to high

193
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 6: school with. I don't understand why this is so interesting people.

194
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 6: But then like I got into the rhythm of it,

195
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 6: and I realized, oh, yeah, this must be so exotic.

196
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 6: It's often I'm like I feel like I immigrated from

197
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 6: another country where I'm like, the culture of Utah is

198
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 6: so far removed from what the majority of Americans experience. Yeah,

199
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 6: so I can see why. It's like people are like, what.

200
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: Are they doing?

201
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 6: Why do they do any of.

202
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: This, So it's not just like got Game, Like the

203
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Stanley Cups like came from the like those reality shows

204
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: like that, that whole trend like came from that. So

205
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: people aren't just like pointing and laughing. People are like

206
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: it's like aspirational for people to like look at these

207
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: people's lives. And I think dirty Sprite also came from

208
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: there at all. All the dirty so dirty sodas probably

209
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: not the probably not the one that's.

210
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 8: Not dirty, right, the only one I didn't come from there?

211
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 8: Actually did they get the idea from future? What if

212
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 8: instead of like having the promacy like the cough syrup

213
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 8: in there, we put a flavored cocon oaconut mill syrup.

214
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 7: I mean, there is like a world where they're just like,

215
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 7: we can safely co opt these trends and you know,

216
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 7: until it gets outside of Salt Lake City basically because

217
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 7: like you know, people aren't supposed to know about this

218
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 7: other ship where we could be our own culture and

219
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 7: take you know, a few borrow some words whatever, who care.

220
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 6: Right, just kind of integrate them in. So yeah, but

221
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 6: I think Mormon's for I mean, at least since blogging

222
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 6: began weirdly Mormon women have been very influential on culture.

223
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 6: This bizarre because yeah, it's like it's so aspirational because

224
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 6: their lives at least in photos or good recipes look.

225
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: Wonder Yeah yeah, right, the castle role culture, right exactly.

226
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: Is there anything that so you grew up in Salt

227
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Lake City? Yes, yeah, is there anything that stands out

228
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: to you that like you thought was normal and then

229
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: you like got outside of Salt Lake City and you're like, oh,

230
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: that's that's very particular to where I grew up.

231
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 6: I was thinking about this recently. I was thinking about,

232
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 6: like all of the teachers through my public education would

233
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 6: in the morning would be drinking diet coke. And it

234
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 6: occurred to me recently like people in other states or

235
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 6: other cities their teachers like they probably smelled coffee in

236
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 6: the school or whatever.

237
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Because oh, yeah, all my teachers smelled like coffee all

238
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: the time.

239
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 6: Right, and that just was I mean that maybe one

240
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 6: in fifty teachers might have had coffee, but I can't

241
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 6: remember any of them. So you would see a can

242
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 6: of diet coke at seven thirty in the morning.

243
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to my first job out

244
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: of college after being a pool boy, was at ABC

245
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: News and I worked on the same floor as Diane

246
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Sawyer and she would house diet coke like she you know,

247
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: she was up for Good Morning America, like four in

248
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the morning. She would go through like a six pack

249
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: by the time, like I was walking into the office.

250
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: It was fucking crazy.

251
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 6: So she was just peeing all the time. It just

252
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 6: was so radition.

253
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: Doesn't that seem terrible? Doesn't that seem like a terrible

254
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: way to get your caffeine? Kim, What is something you

255
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: think is underrated?

256
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 9: Indoor malls?

257
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: Indoor?

258
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 10: Oh my god, I do love an indoor mall.

259
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 9: I just had a day date last week and I

260
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 9: haven't been in a mall in forever, and we were

261
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 9: just walking around and it was lovely. We didn't buy

262
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 9: anything and it was just fun to window shop. We

263
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 9: got like little polaroid pictures in the booths and had

264
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 9: some cinnapun called it a day.

265
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: It was great.

266
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 6: I love that.

267
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 10: I do love an indoor mall. I also love like

268
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 10: like Little Tokyo's and stuff will have like indoor malls

269
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 10: where it's like all these fun like Japanese shops and

270
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 10: Little Tokyo, Little Chris Ruth's saying.

271
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 3: Little.

272
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're very cute and it's nice to be protected

273
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 10: from the elements.

274
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, it really is. Well, like where I live, it's

275
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 9: fucking freezing now, So to have somewhere that's warm and

276
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 9: can just, I don't know, rack up some steps, that's

277
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 9: great and.

278
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: Where do you give us exact address? The the indoor

279
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: mall was such. I don't think people fully appreciate how

280
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: pervasive and important the indoor mall culture was in the nineties.

281
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: Like it was all there.

282
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 10: It was a big fucking deal where all the kids

283
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 10: hung out.

284
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: That's all you do years old.

285
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, my birthday gift was to get a limo to

286
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 9: go to the mall.

287
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 10: That fuck no I do that for my birthday Except

288
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 10: for the limo. We had to go to my mom's van.

289
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 10: But like, I didn't get any gifts. The gift was

290
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 10: the limo. But I felt fancy.

291
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: But you put an unplugged phone in the back so

292
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: you would feel fancy. Like it was.

293
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 10: We had the best ginger ale. We would go like

294
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 10: when I was in dance, we would have like competitions,

295
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 10: or we'd have like a matinee show and then an

296
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 10: evening show for like sleeping beauty or whatever, and in

297
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 10: between we'd go to the mall and try on prom dresses.

298
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's why there was a hot topic.

299
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger Icons episode about

300
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: how many of his movie, like his iconic scenes take

301
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: place in malls.

302
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: Like that.

303
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: It was he was he only made sense in the

304
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties, like really, and he made so much.

305
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: He was like such a product of that moment that

306
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: people were like, could I see him like kill someone

307
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: in the mall? Maybe? Could I get that in a mall?

308
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 10: That's like the nostalgia of Stranger Things. One of their

309
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 10: most epic scenes from previous seasons was in the mall.

310
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 9: Like in like the ice Cream Shop or even The

311
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 9: Last of Us.

312
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 10: Like anytime there's like a horror movie and it goes

313
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 10: back to a mall, it.

314
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Feels like it's fun.

315
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, it makes you feel like a kid running from something.

316
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 9: M It was dead as fuck. It was also true.

317
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: You can go in there and be the only person

318
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: in the mall like sometimes it's widow.

319
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 10: It used to be different.

320
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: There's a place in Los Angeles called the Beverly Center

321
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: that is a massive, massive indoor mall that is almost

322
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: it's almost like a fucking escape room. Like there's like

323
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: you go, you get in an elevator from the parking garage. Yeah,

324
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense to go.

325
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 10: Through three levels of Best Buy.

326
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It's so strange, but it was. I think

327
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: it's in clueless. It's like the hot place to go

328
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: and clueless. It's the indoor mall that they go to

329
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: and clueless. It was like the coolest thing. And then

330
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: the Grove came along and was like outdoor mall and

331
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: everyone was like, we're never going back to indoor malls

332
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: ever again. And you go in there it is haunted.

333
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: It is completely empty. And the indoor malls, no, it's wild.

334
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 10: That happened in every city, like in Utah when the

335
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 10: Olympics came through, they had the Gateway Mall, which was

336
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 10: like the outdoor mall. That was like the new cool mall.

337
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 10: And then like the freaking water coming up that kids

338
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 10: run through became a thing at every outdoor mall, right,

339
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 10: like there was. It was definitely the rise and fall

340
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 10: of indoor malls like during our childhood, and then the

341
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 10: outdoor mall and now everybody's just on Amazon.

342
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now nobody goes to either of them.

343
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 9: I lived right by the Irvine Spectrum and it was

344
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 9: a fucking nightmare every time. Parking was always miserable. There's

345
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 9: people running around, and then you know you have to

346
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 9: deal with the weather. So the indoor mall.

347
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 6: It was so refreshing.

348
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

349
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, outdoor malls, I feel like I have to walk

350
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,359
Speaker 10: further for some reason. Yeah, I don't know why.

351
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota mastered the indoor mall arts indoor.

352
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 10: Everything cold places.

353
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: That is kind of a cool place where you just like,

354
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: They're like, we made our entire downtown have an indoor

355
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: mall running through, like from building to building, you just

356
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: walk through a mall.

357
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 10: They do that in like Pittsburgh too, Like when I

358
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 10: went to I went to Carnegie Mellon and they would

359
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 10: connect the like sometimes you would never have to go

360
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 10: outside to go from class to class. But Minnesota, the

361
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 10: Minneapolis Mall has a freaking amusement.

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: Park in it.

363
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 9: That's great, so cool, the Great America Mall.

364
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, Matt, what is something you think is underrated?

365
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: Underrated? I would have to say, listen this, I don't

366
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: know this person actually is underrated, but he was recently

367
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: in the news as being bad at acting, and I disagree.

368
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: Paul Dano, Oh, come on, Paul Dano is underrated by

369
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: Quentin Tarantino, very specifically, and I that.

370
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Is the implication of these questions. What is underrated and

371
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: overrated by Quentin tarantine?

372
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: Right? What does Quin Tarantino want for Christmas?

373
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Right?

374
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: And it's I don't know, uh, feet picks.

375
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Probably yeah, he picks. Yeah, Paul, before you hey, Quintin,

376
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: and before you fits finished saying what do you want

377
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: for he respond feet picks.

378
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: He hates Paul Dano, his awful feet.

379
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 3: You wouldn't show I bet you he didn't show them hogs.

380
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: I bet he was just like, I'm not gonna do it.

381
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: And he's like, come on, man, you know, just his

382
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: weird fucking bullshit. Yeah. No, but Paul Dano is like, uh,

383
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: even even with the like outpouring of support for him

384
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: after Quentin Tarantino trashed him for no reason, I was

385
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: still there was part of me that was like, no,

386
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 3: but seriously, he is probably I mean, since the death

387
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: of Philip Seymour Hoffman, he's probably like the best actor

388
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: in Hollywood.

389
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: WHOA, So you're a real I'm a big.

390
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: Old dan ohead dude, he's He's so good, even in

391
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: his bit role in The Sopranos where he just played

392
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 3: AJ's weird friend Rush. Yeah he was AJ's weird friend.

393
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: I forget they were like, yeah, I forget what they're

394
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: even talking about. But I was just like, yeah, that

395
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 3: kid's weird. I gotta follow his career. So yeah, Paul

396
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 3: Dano's my god.

397
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: Freaking me out. Yeah, yeah, Dano's good. Quentin Tarantino has

398
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: lost his marbles there, I said it, Yeah, I'm going,

399
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: I'm going there has lost his marbles a little bit.

400
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, what if I defended of like we've all had

401
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: a mic shoved in our face and said dump stuff. Okay,

402
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 2: we've all had that happen, so who knows if if

403
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 2: you could do it again, I bet he would take

404
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: it back.

405
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 3: I'm sure he would.

406
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure he would.

407
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I do need Paul Dano. I like

408
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: him as an actor as well. I need him to

409
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: come out and give us the backstory, because either way,

410
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: it's fascinating. If there is like something that he said

411
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: no to that Quentin Tarantino wanted him in, that's great.

412
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: If he like, is there something that happened behind the scenes,

413
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: or if it's like completely out of the blue. Also

414
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: very interesting, Yeah, hilarious. It's just get in there, Dano,

415
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: get there, get your hands dirty a little bit.

416
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. We need we really do need to know what

417
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: the backstory is behind that, because it's such a random

418
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: person to hate, especially someone who is so clearly a

419
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: good actor, Like objectively to you know, what's.

420
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: Your favorite Dano, you know, being the weird friend and Sprentice.

421
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, other than There Will Be Blood,

422
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: the most obvious dan O movie. Honestly, I think Love

423
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: and Mercy. His portrayal of young Brian Wilson is like, okay,

424
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: that that, to me is might be the best biopic

425
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: out there, like music biopick and uh, it's so funny

426
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: that like fucking what's what's the name of the guy

427
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: who played No, no, no, the guy who who.

428
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: Play they play Brian Wilson.

429
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: Hilarious. He's just like, I'm doing it. No, he'd love it,

430
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: he he, he will love it.

431
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: This is what Brian would want it.

432
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 3: It's like Brian was still alive at that point too,

433
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: but he's still talking about him as if he's dead. Yeah,

434
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: you know, the guy who played Freddie Mercury and Bohemian Rhapsody, you.

435
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, Rommy Malick Maleck.

436
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the fact that he, you know, won Best

437
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: Actor for that. There's so many music biopicks that have

438
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 3: like Best Actor oscars for you know, the lead, and

439
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: that is this is the only one that I think

440
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: has deserved. Paul Dano playing young Brian Wilson. He did

441
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 3: it so perfectly. It was.

442
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: My theory on that is that Hollywood can be fooled

443
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: every time with a set of fake teeth. Yeah, tooth

444
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: acting is is real, and you put some fake teeth

445
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: and they're like, whoa, He's like a different persons. The

446
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: same thing as like my kids putting on like Dracula

447
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: teeth on Halloween and like looking at the mirror and

448
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: being like, oh my god, I look like a real

449
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: vamis cool tooth acting, man. Yeah, they should just create

450
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: a set break category for best tooth actings. It stops

451
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: being the hack to win.

452
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 3: Right, best prosthetic that fooled me?

453
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking whoa, whoa.

454
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: There's a separate hall of fame for it. With baseball

455
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: and performance enhancing drugs, It's just like, yeah.

456
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: It works on me too. I'm just saying that, like you,

457
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: we shouldn't punish people who are playing characters who have

458
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: fine teeth.

459
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, exactly what could you do?

460
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: Brun it? Yeah? What?

461
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 9: Uh?

462
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: What's something that you think is overrated?

463
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: Bear upy don't need it? Stop telling people to go

464
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: to it, people don't. You know. Look, I understand that

465
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: everyone is in this like wellness like you know, like thing. Now.

466
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: It's like this era of like, oh, I go to

467
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 3: therapy and I work on my problems. You know, fine,

468
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: good for you. But some of us are out here

469
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: crushing it, but by just like just putting you know,

470
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: like taking those problems and just putting them down deep

471
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: deep inside and letting it, you know, stew marinate for

472
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: a bit. And I'm one of them. Like I had

473
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 3: not needed therapy, you know, for years, I've not.

474
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: Needed it with baby shit.

475
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: That is baby shit. And I have a baby now

476
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: and now I'm like, oh, good, now I have someone

477
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: to talk to.

478
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, my kid is my therapy. That's healthy.

479
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good.

480
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: I taught her one phrase, how do you feel about that?

481
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 3: And I have her say that over and over as

482
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: I'm talking about my sexual dysfunction.

483
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: We're learning about each other.

484
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: I remember reading a story about how someone tried to

485
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: bullshit you once, Matt, and they wound up in the

486
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: fucking hospital.

487
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah remember, Oh yeah, that happens a lot. I

488
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: have a pretty amazing bullshit detect. It's sort of a

489
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: rubber glue type thing. Nice or you try to bullshit me,

490
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: whatever you bullshit bounce off means sticks to you and

491
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: then you go to the hospital.

492
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. Sometimes something people do confuse you with

493
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: a brown noser because your bullshit detector is like, you

494
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: need to get right up on the bullshit.

495
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but.

496
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: You're not brown nosing. I don't brown detecting.

497
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 3: Bullshit right exactly. Yeah. In fact, that's why I don't

498
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: like therapy because every time I went when I I

499
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 3: used to go to therapy, and after a while I

500
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: was like, first of all, why are you so obsessed

501
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 3: with me? I would say, that's my therapist. Yeah yeah,

502
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: and I'd be like, you should be paying me, right,

00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,280

00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: sounds like people.

507
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 3: Think that they're all their problems will be solved with therapy.

508
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe not. I'm built different.

509
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: My friends are solved by grinding.

510
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,280

Speaker 2: that's very helpful. Yeah, that's right, that's right.

528

Speaker 1: That's how you teach them to respect you.

529
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. You go and there and you punch the clocks.

530
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: That's right. You punch the biggest clock in the room,

531
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: and that's right.

532
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, first night, get their name wrong.

533
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 3: I guess we get another You know. I did have

534
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: a therapist who mispronounced my name for a full month. Yeah,

535
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: and had he thought I said Nat Nat, and he

536
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: kept he kept calling me Nat.

537
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: Like King Cole.

538
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, like King Cole. And I didn't correct him, you know,

539
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: because eventually I was like, well, I haven't yet paid

540
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: him the check. So I gave him the check for

541
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: the month. And I was like, well, surely he'll read

542
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: my name on the check. I really wanted to avoid that.

543
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: And then he and then on the next session he

544
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: called me Nat again, and I was like, I'm sorry,

545
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: we have to stop. Yeah, my name is Matt. And

546
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 3: he said why didn't you tell me? And I was like,

547
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, because I'm.

548
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: Because I have avoidant shouldn't you know that?

549
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: Why am I here?

550
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: Right?

551
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: That's why I don't need.

552
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: Therapy I have. There are certain people in my life who,

553
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: just from when I as a kid, refuse to believe

554
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: that my name is not Zach. And they will continuously after,

555
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, be like just they wanted to fault to Zach.

556
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: You know that kind of where I have come off

557
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: as a Zach. You do come off as a Zach.

558
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,359

00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: It's a it's a character Miles created, it's a share name.

Speaker 6: Interestingly, I was not aware that she was Stephen Miller's wife.

576
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 6: I didn't know he oh had ever had any relationship

Speaker 6: with another human being.

578
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,600

00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 6: Have children, Like, yeah, you can't imagine that man reproducing.

580
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 7: It's it's very weird sexually, I assume like a sort

581
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 7: of a budding process or like.

582
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 6: Like coming in like regurgitating another version of his mouth.

583
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, that is very vivid to me, but every other

584
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 7: version of human reproduction not.

585
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: I can't.

586
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, There's there's a wild clip where like his

587
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: wife went on the Jesse Waters Show, and Jesse Waters

588
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: is like, you know, doing.

589
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: A post of waters World, all Conter's world.

590
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: He's doing like a poor man version of Don Draper,

591
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: like he watched mad Men and was like, this, this

592
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: is it. This is what I'm doing for the rest

593
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: of my life. And he has her on and he

594
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: called He's like, and you're of course married to the

595
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: sexual matador, and oh, we don't know what that meant.

596
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: But they both started laughing so hard that it was like, wait,

597
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: what she thinks, right, She's like.

598
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 12: Oh well, or it's like a maga inside joke, I guess,

599
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 12: But it also seemed like they were fucking Like was

600
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 12: what was the impression that, yeah, that she and Jesse were,

601
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 12: because like they.

602
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: Had like a very warm energy as they talked about

603
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: her husband being a sexual matador, which feels like feels

604
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: like it could be an inside joke between people like yeah,

605
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: people who are cheating on their spouse being like, yeah,

606
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: every time you try to have sex with him, he's

607
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: like out of and then they laughed way too hard

608
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: about that. But yeah, so she has started a shitty

609
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: podcast where she just like shows off complete lack of

610
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: conversation skills. She's made some really memorable appearances on debate

611
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: shows where she's so easily frazzled it feels like she's

612
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: engaging in self harm by even like appearing on the panel.

613
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: Like there's one where like the person just like won

614
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: an argument with her and rather than just like, you know,

615
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: you don't it's not like they were like winner or

616
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: anything like that, you just move on to the next thing.

617
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: But instead she just started screaming that she was gonna

618
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: have them deported. She was like, you better get your

619
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: papers in line. It was like, really, she just went

620
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: full villain movie villain, Like right away.

621
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 6: What's the content of her podcast?

622
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: Oh?

623
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just her talking to people about how the Yeah,

624
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: they say something like nice but not quite nice enough,

625
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: and she's like, you better get your fucking papers in order.

626
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: Called you better get your fucking papers in order. With

627
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: Petie Miller, ever, guess it is just dragged to ice scream.

628
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: But she's also done a really good job of pretending

629
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: that her family is a victim of I guess like anything.

630
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: So when people in their Arlington neighborhood were like, get

631
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: this human trash the fuck out of here, kind of

632
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: like not really, they protested in the most gentle way

633
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: that somebody could protest, while you know, saying the truth.

634
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: They wrote, Miller is praying on families. Not not like

635
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: on their house. They wrote it on the sidewalk of

636
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: their street in really nice, like light colored chalk, Like

637
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: it was like a nice blue and then like it's

638
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: like very Easter egg colors.

639
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean it is.

640
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 7: It is kids chalk. It is the only sidewalk chalk

641
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 7: that really there is. Right, Yes, I don't have kids,

642
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 7: but it feels like it's always got.

643
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: That's that or white chalk.

644
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 6: You know they don't have like dark jewel tone.

645
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: Shock.

646
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know the Millers really like white chalk.

647
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: Oh there's something about it.

648
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: I just yeah.

649
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: But she so she responded to that by saying people

650
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: were making terroristic threats to her and doxing her, and

651
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: it got so bad that they had to list their

652
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: nearly four million dollar mansion, which like, when you think

653
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: about that, that sucks, you guys, and like we're all

654
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: we're all for pushing back against fascism on this show.

655
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: But like when you have to list your four million

656
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: dollar mansion, can't be uncomfortable.

657
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 6: I've been through it so many times.

658
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: I knows they have to buy now for their new mansion.

659
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.

660
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: But we got the police report about the protests and

661
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: the analysis by the police, who again don't they're not

662
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: fully against overdoing it to protect people who live in

663
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: four million dollars at the homes. That's kind of the

664
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: police thing. But this Arlington police report kind of undermines

665
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: her characterization of the protests. They said the messages were

666
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: non threatening and alluded to political issues such as immigration,

667
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: transgender rights, DEI, and white supremacy.

668
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: Sollington County Police, welcome to the resistance.

669
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: That's right. A cab for the next twenty minutes no

670
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: longer includes you. Yeah, so that's that's just a quick

671
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: check in with them.

672
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 7: We do like to do the saddest, weakest people. These

673
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 7: people also are like white people are the supreme. The

674
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 7: master race is really struggling, I guess is what I'm saying.

675
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: It's hard, Andrew, We're having a hard time.

676
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 6: Okay, we have to find neighborhoods without sidewalks, that's very difficult.

677
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 7: Do you think does the handwriting in this I guess

678
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 7: this is a podcast, but the handwriting in this in

679
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 7: the still from the from Katie Miller is like so neat.

680
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has that kind of like she true it herself.

681
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: Right, like the black rule from the Black Lives Matter

682
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: protest that was clearly written by a Trump supporter. Yeah,

683
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: or the woman who I just think they would have

684
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: gone more over the top if they had done it

685
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: the right of the writing. There's that young woman from

686
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: New Jersey who recently got caught claiming that she had

687
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: been like zip tied and like had Trump whore carved

688
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: into her back, I think. And then it was revealed

689
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: her her case fell apart when it was revealed that

690
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: her accomplice, who had like found her and taken the

691
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: pictures of her to share with police, had recently googled

692
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: where to find zip ties okay, and then that she

693
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: had recently googled scarification an expert.

694
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 6: So scarification experts.

695
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: Do the cuts.

696
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 7: For actually doing it. I mean, there was the girl

697
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 7: that did the had the backwards b on her face

698
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 7: for Barack and like a fake black eye. I'm saying

699
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 7: at least at least they're making person Yeah, they're making progress. Yeah,

700
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 7: all right, are you guys Vegas.

701
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: People at all?

702
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 3: You ever go to Vegas?

703
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 6: Absolutely not.

704
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean there is literally there is literally the the

705
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 2: like the.

706
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 7: Like highway like exit I guess, or the split on

707
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 7: the way going to Vegas. I just literally like Vegas

708
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 7: or Salt Lake City like you could make.

709
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: In America.

710
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: I'll just say yes.

711
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 7: And everyone who's listening to this podcast with me on

712
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 7: before it probably already knows that.

713
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was there.

714
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: Recently, there's a new Slate art about the somewhat of

715
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: a vibe shift happening in Vegas, where a lot of

716
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 1: the stuff, like they they interview a lot of people

717
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas who are like, used to get a

718
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: steak this thick for six dollars and now like those

719
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: days are all gone and the numbers are not promising.

720
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: The hotel occupancy has cratered, flights to Vegas have cratered.

721
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Nobody from Canada, like Canada used to be a large

722
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: portion of the tourism in Vegas.

723
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 6: They're surprising to me that don't seem like Vegas people.

724
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, there's there's plenty of garbage.

725
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 7: I will say, I was at a poker table with

726
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 7: someone from Montreal and it reminded me that some of

727
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 7: them really are Vegas people.

728
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just find that it's just because you haven't

729
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: been to Vegas, so you haven't met the Vegas too much.

730
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: You're just not okay that that's where the no absolutely

731
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: not come from. There's even an air carrier that like

732
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: used to fly low cost flights from Edmonton, and like

733
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: other Canadian locations, they've had a sixty percent drop off

734
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: in people flying to lot Vegas. So there's like some

735
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: very straightforward explanations for this. Tourisms down nationwide, it's just

736
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: not as much down as Vegas is. But there's also

737
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: something that's been happening over the past couple decades that

738
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: is endemic to America, which is that they were taken

739
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: over by private equity. They've been taken over by private

740
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: equity companies, and the private equity companies are just finding

741
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: any way that they can to like leed people drive,

742
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: so like all of those like free giveaways and things

743
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: like that, where the idea is like get people here

744
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: and then you know the gamblers will pay for it.

745
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: And amazingly, like as tourism has cratered umbling profits have

746
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: gone way up, like, which, yeah, it's the exact story

747
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: of the pandemic. Like, so what they did is they

748
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, not as many people were coming, so

749
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: they changed the rules of a bunch of the games,

750
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: Like Blackjack no longer pays out at like one point five.

751
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: Now it pays out at like six to five. So

752
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: they've like five yeah, and and we let your notes here.

753
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: I have a bit on the not a bit. I

754
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: have something to say about your litte sorry, you go ahead. Well,

755
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: Roulette is used to be like one of the better

756
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: deals that you could get, like essentially, if you hit,

757
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: they would pay you out for like as you know

758
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: about the right odds. The only thing that keeps it

759
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: from being completely even odds are the green zeros that

760
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: they the zero and the double zero. First it was

761
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: just one zero, and then they were like, guys, I

762
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: got a fucking crazy idea a second zero, and during

763
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: the pandemic they had another brain storm. They're like triple zeros.

764
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, so they just keep adding triple zeros are.

765
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 7: Like illegal in Europe, Like if you're a casino operator,

766
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 7: eat double zeros.

767
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: Frowned upon triple zero is like fully illegal.

768
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, like it is such a juicing of the oddsite

769
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 7: towards the house that is like truly disgusting.

770
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they do all these things to make

771
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: gambling more like worse for people, more expensive, and then

772
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: they do it during the pandemic to be like we

773
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: got it, we got to stay afloat, and then they

774
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: just never take it away and it's like all of

775
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: the yeah, that's everything exactly, that's everything, like and even

776
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, like all these companies that were supposedly

777
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: like struggling to stay afloat or reporting record profits as

778
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: just like how are they getting away with this?

779
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 7: Part of it is that gambling is a thing that

780
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 7: you can become physically addicted.

781
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: To, oh right, addicted to, but.

782
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 7: Like changing the odds, like you might lose some people,

783
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 7: but you hit the floor of the whales and addicts

784
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 7: and they will just pay it whatever odds.

785
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah forever.

786
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: It's really really really sad and gross.

787
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: I don't know what we call inelastic demand, which is

788
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: what private equity goes around looking for and they just

789
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: find anything they can it. Really it feels like like

790
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: we talked about this when they first started doing it

791
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: during the pandemic that everything started feeling like airport prices.

792
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: You know, like before you would like go into an

793
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: airport and you'd be like, why is this bottle of

794
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: water seven dollars? Like that's crazy, but like you know,

795
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: it's because they have you captive, and like you can't

796
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: go anywhere else to get a bottle of water. And

797
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: now it's just like the whole capitalist like ecosystem is

798
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, you can't go anywhere. We're we're doing

799
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: this just everywhere. It's just airport prices all the way down.

800
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: You know.

801
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 6: The thing I've noticed is charging for sauce. Have you

802
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,959
Speaker 6: noticed now if there's a sauce, you have to pay

803
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 6: for the sauce. It's ridiculous. Sauce should always be free.

804
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, free sauce makes it's helping you sell more food.

805
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 6: Yes, I'll buy more of your food if I can

806
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 6: dip it in something right.

807
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah.

808
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 7: The vaga thing is like, I mean, the thing is,

809
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 7: it's like, as someone who isn't even particularly a believer

810
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 7: in capitalism, I don't I truly don't understand why no

811
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 7: casino owner has just been like, hey, we're just gonna

812
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 7: zag when everyone else is zigging and just charge less

813
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 7: for this shit that we already will definitely still be

814
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 7: making a profit on. It's really weird to not just

815
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 7: be like, hey, this is the casino that you can

816
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 7: afford to bring your family likes well, I mean yeah

817
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 7: or whatever, or or you the person who might not

818
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 7: be in the one percent. We you there's a market

819
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 7: for you, come to this casino.

820
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: The only really fun night I've had in Vegas was

821
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: that there was a casino that had like a burger

822
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: King in it, and that I think that was it.

823
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't like like.

824
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 6: There were no you were in a burger king.

825
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a burger king with slot machines. No, it

826
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: had a irish theme. There were people like little people

827
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: walking around with like Leprechaun costume, and it was like

828
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: the lowest limit, like you could play craps and like

829
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: not lose all your money within thirty minutes, and like

830
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: that's where I like learned to play craps, Like you

831
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: could play the whole night. And it was just I

832
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: think it was in the basement of like a real

833
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: casino and there's like, no, let's rent it out to them,

834
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: and they just everything has gone the other direction now,

835
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: like all the blackjack tables are fifty dollars minimums, and yeah,

836
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean.

837
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 7: It is the story of like maybe this is just

838
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 7: a starker example of how private equity works, but like

839
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 7: they literally have no regard for the future, like even that, right,

840
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 7: this is a predatory industry, but let's imagine it sort

841
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 7: of wasn't, Like what the way you keep this industry

842
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 7: alive is by introducing young people to the fun of gambling, right,

843
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 7: And again, realize that I'm saying this, this is insane

844
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 7: and maybe this is just better in general.

845
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're like pruning their next market away.

846
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 6: From drive it off a cliff, but then find another

847
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 6: thing to drive off a cliff.

848
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah that's exactly.

849
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

850
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: So anyways, I mean there were things to be driven

851
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: off a cliff. I guess there's plenty of many many.

852
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 3: I know.

853
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 6: It's interesting. It's this thing that, by nature is like

854
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 6: to bleed people dry. And they're like, this is not

855
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 6: bleeding people dry enough. How do we keep right exactly,

856
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 6: just leave it alone.

857
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: It was so profitable we remove the friction of the

858
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: blood leaving their body. It's a little slow for my

859
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: tab exactly. Yeah, yeah, I mean this is what they've

860
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: done to like veterinary care, Like the veterinary care industry

861
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: over the past two decades has been taken over by

862
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: private equity, and they were like, man, these fucking people

863
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: will pay anything their pets, and so now they I

864
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: just had this happen. Yeah, everybody is having this happen now.

865
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 7: Got the same procedure basically a year apart, and it

866
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 7: was six times more expensive.

867
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 2: The second time. It was fucking crazy pants.

868
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 6: My friend was just banned from her VET because they

869
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 6: were charging so much that she got in a fight

870
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 6: with them.

871
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, like they're there. They need bouncers

872
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: at you know, vets now. But yeah, so like things

873
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: like we had a superroducer anajos Na, and yesterday talking

874
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: about this she was just there for like an f

875
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: She was there during an F one event. So like

876
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: that's there's still like chasing the high end of things,

877
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: you know. But then things like the thunder Down under

878
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: Dance Review, the Australian centric like Chippendale's is going away,

879
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's the record.

880
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 7: Magic Mike is a superior. That's exactly what she said.

881
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 7: She was like, it's not it's not the worst thing

882
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 7: in the world, but everything that is like kind of

883
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 7: shitty and like feels like you're in Vegas is going away.

884
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 7: Like the free drinks like you can get you can

885
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 7: maybe flag down a waitress for a free drink over

886
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 7: the course of a night, like at the hotel, they're

887
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 7: at the casino. It's it's really like, yeah, I guess,

888
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 7: like so clearly like we just want your money right

889
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 7: now in a.

890
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: Way that it already was like that, but it's just more.

891
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 6: This is kind of the ultimate version of private equity

892
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 6: taking something over because it is like the whole formula

893
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 6: was already set up.

894
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, tough, yeah yeah. So gambling revenue is up,

895
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: everything else is way down and that's it. There's also

896
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: this paragraph in there where you see how this is

897
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: being described by the people in Vegas, like who make

898
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: the decisions and have money. Oliver Levat. This is a

899
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: Slate article link off two via the Wayback Machine. Oliver

900
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: Levat a real estate consultant at the Dnston Group. Denstone Group,

901
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: by the way, black Rock is one of the private

902
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: equity companies that is like fully taken from who serves

903
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: as an advisor to several Vegas casino properties said, I

904
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: needed to understand that cheaper games are no longer economically

905
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: prudent in the city. Between inflation what's causing that upkeep

906
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: and the real villain here labor costs, including a Nevada

907
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: minimum wage that jumped to twelve dollars last year. Lovette

908
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: argued the salad days of low minimum blackjack have been

909
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: legislated out of the fray. After all, it is telling

910
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 1: that no matter how much Vegas tourism declines, the city's

911
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: gambling revenue continues to tick up. That's not an after all,

912
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: that's a counter to everything that guy just said. Everything

913
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: is like they're still making more and more money and

914
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: you're complaining about like having to pay people a living weight.

915
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: But also to these fucking business geniuses, it's like, you

916
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 2: need low cost blackjack players so that they become high

917
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: like limits blackjack players.

918
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 6: How are you not start that way?

919
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: Right?

920
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's really really really, I mean like like all

921
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 7: places that privately like they literally have just like goldfish level,

922
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 7: these alleged business geniuses cannot see beyond like a one

923
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 7: year horizon, It's right, and that is why.

924
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's the explanation for like, why we don't

925
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: have toy stories in America anymore. It's like they they

926
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: took over toys r US and they have no future.

927
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: They have no like sense the future. All they're doing

928
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: is extracting as much wealth from the thing as possible

929
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: and then like discarding it and they still do great,

930
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: and you know it doesn't like the system set ups

931
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: where there's like no disincentive for them to do that,

932
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: and so everything's just getting worse except for the yacht

933
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: sales for people who work in private equity. Let's take

934
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about Liam

935
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: Neeson and Pam Anderson and pooping at work.

936
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 13: We'll be right back, and we're back.

937
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: And we wanted to check them a timpoole because Tim's

938
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: a friend. Okay, we might not agree on everything, but

939
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: you know, again being a surgically attached to his head,

940
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: very famous podcast.

Speaker 1: Everybody knows him. Everybody's like his podcast is so popular,

943
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: except we can't prove that anyone listens to it.

944
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 3: Well, clearly someone must listen to it, yeah at the Kremlin. Yeah,

945
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 3: because he's so good and he's working, and someone at

946
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 3: the Kremlin has given him a one hundred thousand dollars

947
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 3: a week.

948
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: Was that his I think that was I think that's

949
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: what he was getting. So he he has it was

950
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: revealed I think this year that he was being funded

951
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: by the Kremlin, by Russia. He has just come out

952
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 1: and said he may have to put the tools down

953
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: boys because of all the costs associated with his safety.

954
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: There was a point last year or like you know,

955
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 1: around the time that the Kremlin hit came out, where

956
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: he's like this, this podcasting shit is just too expensive, dude.

957
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: It's like, I have to pay this guy. I have

958
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: to pay that guy. I got it. It's fucking crazy.

959
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: And I can report from the inside.

960
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone report, uh the costs of podcasts.

961
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: For entry, especially your podcast. I mean you don't have

962
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: anybody making you. I mean we have, you know, super

963
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: producer Justin Brian the editor making us look good. Nobody's

964
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: making you look good. So you're just without there Jack.

965
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: But he's not.

966
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 2: You, Blake, he's a guest. No, I'm sticking up for Matt.

967
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: Oh oh no, not me, Justin no edits on it. No,

968
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Tim poole Man. Tim Poole's got nobody making.

969
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 3: Him look good, and I look good naturally, so I

970
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 3: knew he wasn't talking.

971
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that's what I thought. Okay, sorry, keeping

972
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: hit that end.

973
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: That the whole show on a loop. But he has

974
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: said that he's, in addition to the very high cost

975
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: of making a podcast where you know, I guess there's

976
00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: no hair, might make a budget because he has a

977
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: fun and beanion always everywhere, but you know, he he

978
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: does have to turn those cameras off, press some buttons.

979
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: He said he's had to hire round the clock security

980
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: because people want to kill him, and the costs are

981
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: now exceeding revenue. So again he was already claiming before

982
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 1: that the costs are too much. Now he's claiming that

983
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: the costs are too much because everyone trying to kill him.

984
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 1: And he did report that people were shooting his house.

985
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: Now the police got wind of that, they were like, wait,

986
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: what there was a fucking shooting at your house? Man, Like,

987
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: that's that's really a big deal to us house slaughter. Yeah,

988
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: you're you're a you're a white guy. Uh, this is

989
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: big news to us property. We're gonna cut yeah, yeah, exactly.

990
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: And so they looked into it and according to the police,

991
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 1: reports of shots fired at this residence cannot be substantiated

992
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: at this time. According to Burke County Sheriff's office, is

993
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: he in Berkeley, California this whole time?

994
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 2: It's Berkeley, Siberia.

995
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: I actually have no idea where this is. They also

996
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 1: added that Pool has refused to release security footage recording

997
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: recorded the night of the alleged shooting. Why you don't

998
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: want to see that, man, It's actually it's too scary.

999
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 2: I don't want scary German shepherds he hired for security

1000
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 2: got hit right, Oh.

1001
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 3: My god, I love it. Like the the best way

1002
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 3: to like do a pledge drive if you were a

1003
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 3: right wing like grifter podcaster, is you know, this is

1004
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 3: equivalent to turning on NPR and hearing you know, the

1005
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 3: waight weight don't tell me guy to like pitch in

1006
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 3: and then get a tote bag with all of them.

1007
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 3: Though it's like they're.

1008
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 14: Trying to kill me for talent, and Pierre should try that.

1009
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 14: They really should, like they're trying to murder us.

1010
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he uh. It is possible that because the DOJ

1011
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: exposed that he was basically a Russian sock puppet in

1012
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: this past year they were bankrolling his entire podcast operation.

1013
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: And maybe because that exposure caused the Kremlin money hoes

1014
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: to turn off that that is why he has an

1015
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: unrealistic expectation of like what it costs to run a podcast.

1016
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, clearly no, or.

1017
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: You know that he's just scared and he had to

1018
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: hire I hired the entire Seal Team six to protect

1019
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: my home, all six of them to protect my fucking

1020
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: podcast operation.

1021
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean the the funniest thing is Timothy Poole

1022
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 3: expecting us to believe that he's on anyone's radar, you

1023
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like, come on, yeah, Nolan, try

1024
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 3: and kill you. Nobody cares this, No one cares this

1025
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: is this is not uh you know, there's just there's

1026
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 3: no way it's real because nobody knows who you are. Like,

1027
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: he lost relevance a long time ago. He's a lot

1028
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 3: of though.

1029
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, he just yeah, I mean Russia. Maybe

1030
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: maybe that is why he's scared. He was getting a

1031
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: paycheck directly from from the Kremlin. Ye, yes, that would

1032
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: be bad.

1033
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's actually a good point. Maybe he is

1034
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 3: scared of the Russians, That's right, that'd be sick. So

1035
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 3: scared that he won't show you the footage of them

1036
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 3: shooting his house. All right, uh, And finally there there's

1037
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: a new trendy answer to what's your favorite Christmas movie?

1038
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 3: And it is eyes wide shut? Are you guys? I

1039
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 3: heard shut heads? Certainly, not ahead, but I heard shut ins.

1040
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 3: I did hear vaguely. Had someone explain this and I

1041
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 3: already forgot the explanation, I guess because it happens during Christmas.

1042
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: Happens during Chris this there's a lot of atmospheric lighting.

1043
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 1: I have a thing that I bring up so much

1044
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,959
Speaker 1: on this show that Miles uh literally rolls his eyes

1045
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: and starts making the jack off hand motion every time

1046
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: I do. But that the holiday season based on when

1047
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: the most common birthdays are of the year. The holiday

1048
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: seasons are humanities mating season. So it's a hornier part

1049
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: of the year than people give it credit for. And

1050
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 1: this would be one movie that actually, you know, puts

1051
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: the X in X mess. Do you guys know what

1052
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean by that? You know what I mean by

1053
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: I think Blake? Blake just got a real horny smile

1054
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: on his.

1055
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 2: So I that's no, it's interest because December is when

1056
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,720
Speaker 2: I fucking a mask because it's so cold. My eyes

1057
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 2: get so cold. I have to warm my eyes with

1058
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 2: the mask. So this does.

1059
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 13: This does check out.

1060
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: It's one of those I maasks, one of those like

1061
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: sleep mass.

1062
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 3: It is want to see, I don't want to see?

1063
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 2: What is this a drawer? I can't say anything.

1064
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: I guess a GIF mask would be a good one

1065
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: because gime masks don't have eyes, right, but they're so

1066
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: unless they earn them.

1067
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah you know, yeah you got.

1068
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 2: Those give eyes away.

1069
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah everyone got a meritocracy.

1070
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, it does happen at Christmas. There's a Christmas

00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: whole thing off when he runs into his old friend

1073
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:32,760
Speaker 1: and saves the woman from the o D and meets

Speaker 1: but the doctor guy who's played by what's that director's name?

1077
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: The guy who's played by Sidney Pollock is people think

Speaker 1: pulling up his pants as the woman has like already, Odd, I.

1082
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 3: Really need to see this movie again. It's I don't

1083
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 3: remember that. Like I'm trying to think of what I

1084
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 3: remember from that movie. I remember a lot of walking outside.

1085
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: Yes, he does do a lot of wandering around like

1086
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: he's in a dream.

1087
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1088
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: The novel it's based on, I think, is like called

1089
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: something to that effect that it like and the whole

1090
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: thing feels like it's like walking outside, like it's in

1091
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: a dream of The book does have.

1092
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 3: The book at the end of the I think more

1093
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 3: books need to have the book on it.

1094
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to tell, but but people think a lot

1095
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: of people are saying that it's especially relevant this year

1096
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: because of the Epstein case and specifically that Kubrick. Have

1097
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: you guys seen The Room, the documentary of all the

1098
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories in the Shine, like all the theories around

1099
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: what the shining means?

1100
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 3: No, tell me about it.

1101
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: There's it's good we're not here. Some that's like it's

1102
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: about colonialism. There's one that's about it's about how Kubrick

1103
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: helped fake the moon landing.

1104
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah.

1105
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: But there's like great evidence for all of them. There's

1106
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: just like so much shit in a Kubrick movie that

1107
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: you can like support anything, but this one is explicitly

1108
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: about like a dark, rich sex cult, you know, right.

1109
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: This Hollywood Reporter article on this says, well Kubrick captures

1110
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: it is a world where someone like Jeffrey Epstein becomes

1111
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: almost inevitable a dark a dark nexus of money, secrecy, impunity,

1112
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: and male sexual desire warped by institutional power.

1113
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 3: It's so funny because the movie is so much more

1114
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 3: boring than that. I don't know.

1115
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is like it has it has like wild

1116
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,919
Speaker 1: shit happening in it, and the vibe is like very

1117
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: much like what why is this so sleepy?

1118
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Like why am I watching an orgy? It is

1119
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 3: kind of crazy. I also have a like a general

1120
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 3: distaste for movies that are like, We're a sexy fucking

1121
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 3: orgy movie, and I'm like, I've seem poorn. I want

1122
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 3: to watch Dick's Go In and then and then show that.

1123
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 2: Just to see it in a crowded theater.

1124
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 3: You yelled at, yeah, I yell at Yeah. My whole

1125
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 3: family are like, I want to see dis go in

1126
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 3: during this Christmas movie. It's just bullshit. So yeah, I

1127
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 3: remember being like very bored by it, but maybe it's

1128
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 3: better than I Maybe I saw it at a weirder

1129
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 3: time in my life. Yeah, now that I'm not going

1130
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 3: to therapy anymore, I should probably check it out again.

1131
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna fuck you up, yeah, tear through you. But

1132
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: yeah there. I mean, there's always widespread conspiracy theories about

1133
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: Kubrick movies, but about this one, people are really saying

1134
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: like this was explicitly about Epstein and he was killed

1135
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: as a result. Because it was made in ninety nine.

1136
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Epstein's operation started in the mid nineties. There's a twenty

1137
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: twenty four clip of the co writer of pulp fiction,

1138
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Roger Avery, on Joe Rogan's podcast So He's a Cool Guy,

1139
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: where he implies that Kubrick's death was suspicious and explains

1140
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: that the original ending was supposed to make it clear

1141
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kimmen were going to hand

1142
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: their daughter over to the pedo cult. As he calls it,

1143
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: There is weird shit in that last scene, Like the

1144
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: movie ends with them walking around a toy store like

1145
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: being like, so what do we learn here? How do

1146
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: we save our marriage? And it ends with Nicole Kimman

1147
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: being like, I guess we have to fuck in the

1148
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: toy store. But there are like people have pointed out,

1149
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: there's like weird like people in the background walking around

1150
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: like making furtive like looks at them and like their kid.

1151
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: And people have like vated that like the cult has

1152
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: not like in fact, let him get away and then

1153
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen with his kid, like at the end,

1154
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: after the end of the movie. But yeah, apparently this

1155
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: has become an obsession with gen Z. They're on board.

1156
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 3: I mean, good for them, you know. I like when

1157
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 3: they get excited about a movie. You know, yeah, me too.

1158
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 3: It's like, I'm here for it. That's fun. That's a

1159
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 3: fun thing to get excited about.

1160
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,479
Speaker 1: They might be a little too excited. There's they've linked

1161
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the theory, or one of the theories links the kidnapping

1162
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: of Madeline McCann and the supposed kidnapping of the daughter

1163
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: that actually doesn't happen in the movie, but it's just

1164
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,479
Speaker 1: a thing that the co writer of Pulp Fiction said

1165
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: was supposed to happen to the movie. The one problem

1166
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: with that is that Madeleine McCann wasn't even born until

1167
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, so he would have had to like

1168
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: really have like some pretty some pretty incredible planning.

1169
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's yeah, and I don't I don't think I

1170
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 3: even know this story.

1171
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh Madeline McCann's story.

1172
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, Madeline McCann.

1173
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: You don't you don't know. I can't just say that reference.

1174
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 2: No, it's a weird berg situation.

1175
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Who is who is? I have no idea, all right,

1176
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I just thought you guys would know. But it's it's

1177
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: just them being like this future crime. It's connected and

1178
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: like the victim was not born when the movie came

1179
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: like wrapped small detail, one detail that like these online

1180
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories, for me, I always like, Okay, that's bullshit.

1181
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: This seems like bullshit. And then there's like one detail

1182
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: where you're like, wait a second. So Reddit theorists have

1183
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: pointed out that Larry Salona, the journalist who broke the

1184
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: story of Epstein's death and Maxwell's arrest, is actually name

1185
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: checked in Eyes Wide Shut. His name is the byline

1186
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: of an article about the death of the woman that

1187
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise thinks saved him at the orgy, which like

1188
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: it's a as ex beauty queen in hotel drug overdose.

1189
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: The byeline is Larry Solona and people are like, no,

1190
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: the only reason they did that is because Solona was

1191
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: the production's media consultant. But that seems like connective tissue

1192
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: to me. Like this person who eventually broke the Epstein

1193
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: story was the media consultant on this movie, so like

1194
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: he could speak to like this world of you know, obviously,

1195
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: like that's part of like what he reports on, So

1196
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 1: he could speak to this world of like crazy shit

1197
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: that was happening. That does seem like a pretty good

1198
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: connection to me, that like this movie was at least

1199
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: somewhat informed by the real powerful people sex trafficking that

1200
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: was happening at the time. You know, Yeah, it could be.

1201
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 3: It could be. The figure would be the movie would

1202
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 3: be more interesting. I got it.

1203
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 2: Going back to how boring.

1204
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 3: I gotta see it again because I know I've tried twice.

1205
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 3: I was on in press.

1206
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 2: Therapy has really made people tolerate that movie. It's so boring,

1207
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 2: And now that you're not therapized.

1208
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, therapy is actually just a form of hypnosis that

1209
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 3: makes you think the eyes white shut is good.

1210
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the conspiracy nobody wants to talk about. But yeah,

1211
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the idea for the movie comes from a

1212
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties book that is like based on ancient like

1213
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: secret society.

1214
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 2: So it's not like it's.

1215
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: Not like this guy caught you exactly. It's not like

1216
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: this guy that gave Kubrick the idea for the movie.

1217
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: It was like a movie about a weird, shadowy sex cult.

1218
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: And then maybe this guy was like, you know, this

1219
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: reminds me of this guy, this New York financier Jeff

1220
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Epstein. I don't know if you're familiar.

1221
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 3: With I've ever heard.

1222
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I mean none of this is like

1223
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: like he he was also thinking about like it. First

1224
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: of all, he first started planning Eyes White Shut, like

1225
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: after he made two thousand and one, so it was

1226
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: like he'd been working on it since the sixties or

1227
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: early seventies. And like he was at one point thinking

1228
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: about casting Woody Allen in the movie, which would have

1229
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: really that would have worked, That really would have fun.

1230
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have ruined everything.

1231
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it would have gone so well.

1232
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: But anyways, interesting thing for you to know about the

1233
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: new thing. So when somebody's like my favorite Christmas movie,

1234
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: Eyes Wide Shut, you can now have an informed, semi

1235
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: informed dumb conversation about how it's all based on real conspiracy.

1236
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 3: You know, see, maybe there's part of me that goes, like,

1237
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 3: you're in that conversation and so what's your favorite Christmas movie?

1238
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 3: And a guy goes, oh, die Hard, and you go, oh,

1239
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 3: I got one better for you? Eyes Wide Shut? Really? Why?

1240
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 3: And then the longest explanation about Jeffrey Epps, and like

1241
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 3: the the byeline was by the guy.

1242
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: You know, event I'm good at a party, man, I'm

1243
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: good at a partial.

1244
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,440
