Speaker 1: the actors considered very seriously to play Hans Solo. But
Speaker 1: he was he was doing it before. He was like
Speaker 1: a cartoon character whose voice sounded like that. But yep,
Speaker 1: I still liked Han Solo. Did you imagine it a
Speaker 1: little bit?

Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 5: Beautiful O'Brian, I like it, O Brian, O'Brien, O'Brien, do
Speaker 5: you have any special love or affinity for Colummeni's turn
Speaker 5: as chief O'Brien on both Star Trek The Next Generation
Speaker 5: and DS nine.
Speaker 3: Have you been asked many times before?
Speaker 1: I have you first time? First time? For everything?
Speaker 3: I would ask you that, do you though? Do you trek?
Speaker 1: I don't really track?
Speaker 3: I mean I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 1: Help? Was al Pacino in Star Trek then? No, I'm
Speaker 1: not interesting?
Speaker 3: No, but Farmer Hagett, James Cromwell, Rollo Viceenzi from La
Speaker 3: Confidence or whatever his speriments. Yeah, he plays a mole
Speaker 3: man Ali and Jack. You'd love it.
Speaker 1: That's fun. I do. I love Starter Trek in theory,
Speaker 1: and then I just never get around to like going
Speaker 1: deep on it because you know, it was it was
Speaker 1: like it used as my uh, you know, as a
Speaker 1: philosophy major, and my advisor was like taught through Star
Speaker 1: Trek and will be like would always be dropping references
Speaker 1: to Star Trek episodes, and I think I just came
Speaker 1: to associate it with like school, maybe I was starting homework.
Speaker 3: It's it's like just entertaining enough to teach with in
Speaker 3: the sense that I think your reaction is correct, meaning
Speaker 3: I'm more into as many lifelong Trekies are. It's offers
Speaker 3: and the potential it has and a few things it
Speaker 3: does differently than every other scide By show, But it's
Speaker 3: like a mid show overall compared to you know, the
Speaker 3: great great shows we've ever seen, like Deadwood or what
Speaker 3: have you, rex, Star Trek the Next Generation. But I
Speaker 3: still love it.
Speaker 2: Right right right, I'm just saying, just were you saying
Speaker 2: Deep Space nine. It jogged my memory of that one
Speaker 2: time we showed a person a picture of seven of
Speaker 2: nine and that they didn't know who That was, very
Speaker 2: very random, very random memory ran yeah, random wearing Swain
Speaker 2: was wearing a Star Trek fit of this dude came
Speaker 2: up to him, goes star Wars.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, he was doing that to fuck with.
Speaker 3: You, right, No, no, or he was like a Kyle
Speaker 3: Mooney level man on the street. Because it's sold completely.
Speaker 4: I was like.
Speaker 3: Yes, no, no, we got confirmation later. And I won't
Speaker 3: name many names in the circle, but multiple people triangulated,
Speaker 3: Oh that guy he came up and did this to
Speaker 3: me or in front of me or said that to me,
Speaker 3: and everyone was like, that's not fakeable. What happened here
Speaker 3: is that's a weird guy and he handled through the
Speaker 3: party and we all had a weird guy.
Speaker 1: That sounds great. So what's been up, Michael? Other than
Speaker 1: other than going to fun parties and being approached by weirdos?
Speaker 1: Anything new?
Speaker 3: I forget? Is it is this my plug opportunity? Or
Speaker 3: is it like a used to be model but you
Speaker 3: could riff on what's monologue? Hell? Yeah, okay, it was
Speaker 3: a weird job you had one. I was Mike rose assistant.
Speaker 3: Every dirty job thing he did, I did it and
Speaker 3: would do bullet points tell him what it was like.
Speaker 3: You know, did that joke not hit micro Dirty Jobs TV?
Speaker 3: Where you did different? It's a job universe where I
Speaker 3: did those jobs. He just anyway, he's a fraud. I mean,
Speaker 3: so clearly all I do is sit in right data jokes.
Speaker 3: But please don't let me forget to plug because I
Speaker 3: have projects that I really need to and want to plug.
Speaker 3: And that's that's happening. True. But if people are interested
Speaker 3: in the story of sometimes guest Michael Swam on the
Speaker 3: Daily Syitegeist and mostly chicking with me here, probably baby
Speaker 3: is a big thing. Baby Yeah, four months, three weeks
Speaker 3: old Sonny Glenn Swam. And then if the producer right,
Speaker 3: it makes an image to do it was between that
Speaker 3: and Forrest Glenn, and I think Sonny is better. Also
Speaker 3: for reasons we'll get into when we talk about underrated overrated.
Speaker 3: But last but not least, shout out to and producer,
Speaker 3: please Hugh that live song about the placenta. My godfather
Speaker 3: who was really like a father figure to me and
Speaker 3: like my most admired person in the world sadly passed away.
Speaker 3: Sonny Glenn is named Glenn after Glenn, my godfather, and
Speaker 3: the timing was such that, like we could have a
Speaker 3: reincarnation situation on our hands, so we're keeping an eye
Speaker 3: out for that. Yeah, yeah, he'll be that good.
Speaker 2: My kid's middle name, and like my cousin that passed away.
Speaker 3: Oh and it was like right around, like within each other,
Speaker 3: just that I was like, this was minutes apart. This
Speaker 3: was four days apart, right, But life comes at you fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and we's just saying it's it's like a
Speaker 1: minute the same second.
Speaker 3: Well, what I we got both ends covered because as
Speaker 3: the baby was being pushed into existence, David Lynch had
Speaker 3: just died hours before, so that was also in play.
Speaker 3: So if he's half Lynch, half blind tricks, then he'll
Speaker 3: look it's crooks. I guess it'll be an old timey sheriff.
Speaker 3: Just occurred to me.
Speaker 1: Well, we're thrilled to have you back. We're going to
Speaker 1: get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. We are going to talk about the
Speaker 1: continued siege of la by the military and the National Guard,
Speaker 1: and just the Trump administration in general. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about Donald Trump's birthday, military birthday parade that's coming
Speaker 1: up this weekend.
Speaker 2: Yay, it's my birthday, all.
Speaker 1: That plenty more. But first, Michael Swain. We do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 3: Sure well dispensing plug teaser, Part one, subsection A. I'll
Speaker 3: say for my new podcast project that I'm really excited
Speaker 3: and care specifically in part to promote called The Simpsons
Speaker 3: Taught Me Everything.
Speaker 6: Hi.
Speaker 3: I At the end of every episode, do if people
Speaker 3: recall the episode where Homer accidentally takes subliminal tapes that
Speaker 3: expand his vocabulary and he's like the gormand transmographize into
Speaker 3: the voluptuary. I'm doing that. At the end of every episode,
Speaker 3: Homer says, increase your wordiness, And there were words that
Speaker 3: came up. There was some I forget, you know, joke
Speaker 3: formation is a nebulous drink deep of the plasma pool
Speaker 3: process where like ideas will link up and you'll go
Speaker 3: that doesn't work and you'll drive it so I forget
Speaker 3: the conversation, but like it came up gormless, the word gormless.
Speaker 3: And then also the concept of boofing something specifically boofing
Speaker 3: bud Budweiser beer, so that their slogan could be take
Speaker 3: the dub boof of Bud a dub is budd backwards.
Speaker 3: So this was the really obscure joke that got me
Speaker 3: to the point where I searched the term, because you
Speaker 3: always have to search terms to be like, does that
Speaker 3: mean something unintentional? Gormless? Boofer gormless, I found out, is
Speaker 3: just British slang that I think means like a dork or.
Speaker 1: Does it?
Speaker 3: Do you know?
Speaker 1: Ye senseless black iniative, it's my birthday.
Speaker 3: We're at political cartoon levels, as many people are pointed out.
Speaker 3: But it's like the Roman emperor is like sending the
Speaker 3: illegal troops to roll through the town. It is like, also,
Speaker 3: it's my birthday. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Man? We gotta hold some of the troops back because
Speaker 1: it's my birthday.
Speaker 3: And then boofer splits like eight different ways. One of
Speaker 3: them is like a Polynesian derogatory slang for black persons.
Speaker 3: So forgive me if if you need to beleep that.
Speaker 3: But I found that like way down the list most
Speaker 3: predominant uses slang for a big shaggy dog is a
Speaker 3: big a big boofer.
Speaker 1: But that's good. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: We ended up changing the lines butt chogging so that
Speaker 3: it did so for clarity.
Speaker 2: Sake, like a gormless beach os.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, and he's non plus also.
Speaker 1: Boofer is a great name for a big dog.
Speaker 3: But yeah, right, unless in arguably Polynesia.
Speaker 2: Unless you're in Polynesia, and it's a black guy.
Speaker 3: Right in the six it said like in the sixties,
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 1: Unless in the sixties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, and that's another segment you could do
Speaker 2: is old timey racial slurs that we've just so you know.
Speaker 3: These oh my god, yeah, yeah, yeah and fifty I
Speaker 3: want to say them because they're racial slurs. But a
Speaker 3: bunch of them sound so fanciful, right right, and you're like, well,
Speaker 3: and you're they're like, well, there was a subset of
Speaker 3: patronizing ones. See. They weren't all like you're subhumans. Some
Speaker 3: were like you're so cute, like a stupid little kid. Right,
Speaker 3: I see, I see what I see. And we're back
Speaker 3: on track.
Speaker 1: There we go. We're back with some underrated Yeah.
Speaker 3: On topic the Mexican flag, it's awso, I mean, aside
Speaker 3: from I have all the sensible opinions on the fluidity
Speaker 3: of borders and us all being immigrants, saying all that
Speaker 3: stuff means that this is all as we'll get into
Speaker 3: in the episode just a purely fabricated boogeyman as a
Speaker 3: pretense for sending armed troops into areas to increase his
Speaker 3: direct control over his administration's direct control over those areas.
Speaker 3: But people are waving the Mexican flag a lot, and
Speaker 3: it struck me that our thing is the eagle, but
Speaker 3: we don't have an eagle, and their eagles awesome, and
Speaker 3: it's standing on a cactus, which is a tough guy
Speaker 3: thing to do, and crushing a snake, and which is
Speaker 3: our other flag that don't tread on me. It's like,
Speaker 3: don't tread on you. Don't tread on you. I will
Speaker 3: snap through your throat with my mighty beak. And it
Speaker 3: just also occurred to me because this is what my
Speaker 3: new podcast since has taught me. Everything is sort of about,
Speaker 3: is everything links to everything, and I love things that
Speaker 3: are nodes for curious that leads somewhere. So if you
Speaker 3: look into the American flag, they're like, well, why is
Speaker 3: there thirteen? There's their thirteen colonies? Why is there fifty?
Speaker 3: That's how many units of land they have in their inventory.
Speaker 3: If you look into the Mexican flag, what does the
Speaker 3: Mexican flag eagle represent? The Sun? The Mexican Son and
Speaker 3: War God wat sealed Poachley. Forgive me, We sealed Poachley
Speaker 3: est son of the god, god of the Sun and War.
Speaker 3: And then you click on that learn all kinds of
Speaker 3: cool legends and folklore. And then it's like what happened
Speaker 3: to those Aztecs? And it's like, here's a book called
Speaker 3: A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies. You
Speaker 3: should read. So I'm saying going into the Mexican flag
Speaker 3: also yields a lot of interesting information, whereas the American flag,
Speaker 3: very fittingly, just yields like like, hey, fact, hey, why
Speaker 3: are you here at the grade school rounding up little children?
Speaker 3: There's fifty of us, okay, but can we see some identification?
Speaker 3: There were origin only thirteen. That's what the bars.
Speaker 1: That's all we got.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, don't ask us shit, do what we're saying.
Speaker 1: It is such a badass drawing, so it's killing a
Speaker 1: rattle drying well.
Speaker 3: Also imagine if you were like, being Betsy Ross is cool,
Speaker 3: but being the person who drew that drive that well,
Speaker 3: like the California flag bears, you're like, that's mine.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: You see a lot of that too, where people like
Speaker 2: it's like the little the snack flag and it's like,
Speaker 2: oh no, a bear flag mash up. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think you also see people being like, just do not
Speaker 2: waive that it's bad for the optics. That's what Trump wants,
Speaker 2: and it's like, please miss us with all that shit,
Speaker 2: this is a point of pride. Los Angeles used to
Speaker 2: be Mexico. Okay, let's be completely real about it. And
Speaker 2: I think this, I guess feel like we're back in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty again. We're getting all kinds of people like,
Speaker 2: don't protest like this, protests like this, don't do that,
Speaker 2: do this, and yes uh. And I'm operating from my
Speaker 2: version of the civil rights movement where I knew not
Speaker 2: of any violence that perpetration against anyone there. And I
Speaker 2: just think I'm pretty sure it ended with a bus
Speaker 2: boycotts or something.
Speaker 1: It was bus boycotts. Everybody was happy. Everybody followed Martin
Speaker 1: Luther king Jinger into the street. It was like super
Speaker 1: popular at the time. I think he had really wellp
Speaker 1: edge where he was the spokesperson, he got sponsorship.
Speaker 3: Well, John Hodgman was the HP, he was the max.
Speaker 3: He was he was like the think different revolutionary I was.
Speaker 1: Trying to think of like one of the things that
Speaker 1: just appropriated, like I have a dream like like that speech,
Speaker 1: and that's what I came up with, was like hpnside
Speaker 1: sert a mattress. Yeah, he immediately had a mattress sponsorship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: immediately had a shoe that was made.
Speaker 3: Who did they just could did you guys cover it? Oh?
Speaker 3: Orson Welles? They legally signed the document to make it
Speaker 3: so that he can say anything to you on your GPS.
Speaker 3: And the family is like, we don't care, yeah, trat
Speaker 3: his dead words up?
Speaker 2: Give us on ways or something.
Speaker 3: Isn't that has like Pinky and the Brain Orson Wells voice?
Speaker 2: Okayes licensed, but who did the Pinky and the Brain
Speaker 2: Orson Wells Well.
Speaker 3: That's Maurice LaMarsh of course, give him or work.
Speaker 1: That's who I want. I don't need, I want.
Speaker 3: But they had a computer learn it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I would love directions from Pinky and the brain like
Speaker 3: arguing with each other until I trash. Yeah, I just
Speaker 3: want what's he saying?
Speaker 1: Uh? But obviously the Civil rights movement very unpopular at
Speaker 1: the time that it was happening. Very white Americans were
Speaker 1: very scared of it. And we're like, don't do that.
Speaker 1: That makes people scared.
Speaker 2: Which is why. Yeah, I think we brought it up.
Speaker 1: We want you to be we want people to be
Speaker 1: nice to you, but you're not going to get it
Speaker 1: that way by making them spray you with the hope.
Speaker 1: All right, this isn't how you're going to convince the
Speaker 1: racist stop it. Oh, just do what the racists say.
Speaker 1: Don't scare the racists, and then you're gonna be Okay,
Speaker 1: don't do a sick thing where you're driving riding a
Speaker 1: motorcycle with a fucking huge Mexican flag and looking fucking awesome. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't do that, because we have a better idea than that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and see, you guys are omitting the solution. You
Speaker 3: gotta always hammer this home. Guys, vote and then get
Speaker 3: out and that will fix it.
Speaker 2: Or it sounds somebody send some money to the DNC.
Speaker 1: Okay, send some money to the DNC, even if there's
Speaker 1: not gonna be election. Michael swayin, what is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated?
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll keep it short and sleep, but I
Speaker 3: feel like I have to point at the big board
Speaker 3: again and just say money. It's just like for the
Speaker 3: rest of my life whenever I show up on anything
Speaker 3: where I'm asking this sort of question and it's uh,
Speaker 3: I again, I don't or it's important. I don't mean value.
Speaker 3: Separate those concepts money like a billionaire. The billionaire class,
Speaker 3: as we all know, is destroying us. But it's also
Speaker 3: for no reason. They're super unhappy, so it would be
Speaker 3: healthier for them to understand some kind or you can
Speaker 3: get warm buff. It seems kind of weirdly all right,
Speaker 3: in terms of I can't argue whether it's I don't
Speaker 3: know that it's ethical to a massive billion dollars period,
Speaker 3: But I just mean he seems to sleep at night
Speaker 3: or have some coherent identity. But many other billionaires Elon included,
Speaker 3: you know, seem like totally eating alive and miserable anyway.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't buy me sympathy because they're killing hundreds
Speaker 3: of thousands of innocent people to figure their shit out.
Speaker 3: But I do wish i'd figure their shit out, because
Speaker 3: maybe that would help. And regardless, I also mean it
Speaker 3: in the grand sense where I track so much back
Speaker 3: to money used to be a record of goods and
Speaker 3: services exchanged or potential values stored inside you, and they're
Speaker 3: like what if gambling was legal in the form of
Speaker 3: the stock market, and I could go to school and
Speaker 3: eat every day and learn and use all the resources
Speaker 3: of humanity. But my job, the whole thing I spend
Speaker 3: time on Earth doing, is looking at legal documents and
Speaker 3: moving money from one place to another and seeing if
Speaker 3: it's possible to abstractly make money make money. Isn't that clever?
Speaker 1: And is that a good thing?
Speaker 3: It's clever. Now later we all choke to death on
Speaker 3: our own farts. That's that, so good job, society. Money
Speaker 3: was a short term like symbol we were supposed to
Speaker 3: use for barter exchange. Look, if AI can do all
Speaker 3: the art and everything, then maybe we're in star trek
Speaker 3: time and we don't need money. How about that? And
Speaker 3: then the billionaires are like, no, we still need money.
Speaker 3: That's my value identifier, and so I just hate it,
Speaker 3: so they'll never.
Speaker 1: Let that happen. Yeah, that is what all like a
Speaker 1: lot of really smart people I knew in school. They
Speaker 1: went into making money, make money. That's it, just fucking
Speaker 1: growing money by putting it in various places. And I
Speaker 1: gotta say, I remember at the time being like they
Speaker 1: should be building fucking infrastructure, like those people are smart.
Speaker 1: They should be putting like making the world better doing
Speaker 1: building things. And I remember feeling childish for thinking that
Speaker 1: at the time, but I've never really been disabused of
Speaker 1: that notion. I do think that that is a fucking
Speaker 1: huge problem with it is just like all the smart people,
Speaker 1: they're just like, yeah, I'm going to go in to
Speaker 1: make the money, make the money to more money.
Speaker 3: I gotta say, It's truly not just like a sour
Speaker 3: grapes poor person thing to say. But I've I know
Speaker 3: enough struggling people, middle class people, and people who got
Speaker 3: rich through skill and or luck that I have observed
Speaker 3: and really find it true. Some are happy and some
Speaker 3: are unhappy. Almost has no connection with other like how
Speaker 3: much money you amassed. It is just the kind of
Speaker 3: addiction over like has Warren Buffett I think said he
Speaker 3: was like anyone who makes which is still unthinkable to me,
Speaker 3: seven hundred grand a year or more essentially has an
Speaker 3: identical life to me. They can access anything they want
Speaker 3: at any time. Everything else is just like frosting on
Speaker 3: the cake, or more purchase power or political buying power.
Speaker 3: Why have you so you know, I'll just be happy
Speaker 3: with my seven hundred K the year, and that's me.
Speaker 3: I'm home.
Speaker 1: You'll be up, Buffett. Just put it in all of
Speaker 1: our bank.
Speaker 2: Account'll be We'll be good over here. I think he
Speaker 2: does it. He does. I think he buys himself some
Speaker 2: cover because he's not very Austen. He's just like so
Speaker 2: low key. He like lives like I've driven by his
Speaker 2: house in Omaha and I was like, oh, that's where
Speaker 2: he's like. I was just like, oh, he's ignore that.
Speaker 3: I'm absorbing the resources. Yeah, millions of because there's like and.
Speaker 2: They're like, it's McDonald's for breakfast every day, and it's
Speaker 2: like he has he's.
Speaker 3: A fucking a team, that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the little old man who eats making moment. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I was wondering, if you, like, do you now you're
Speaker 2: that the Simpsons taught you everything? Have you switched out
Speaker 2: beer as the cause of and solution to all life's
Speaker 2: problems with money?
Speaker 3: No miles. I think savvy viewers will remember that the
Speaker 3: solution to all life's problems is to move under the scene.
Speaker 2: Animals.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen, not with that attitude that has reawakened.
Speaker 3: I always love the Simpsons, but like many didn't watch
Speaker 3: it for at least ten years, and now I'm that
Speaker 3: guy where I have to stifle incessantly any stimulus is
Speaker 3: like that Simpsons quote relates to that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, right, right to be the Simpsons guy.
Speaker 3: Don't be college guy.
Speaker 1: This new franchise not helping with your whatever the brain
Speaker 1: condition is that you have. But it's Michael, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back, and we're here in La yep. And what
Speaker 1: are we seeing on the ground because the headlines, Miles,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing Trump sent in the National Guard and saved
Speaker 1: our dear city from burning to.
Speaker 2: The Yeah, yeah, we call that bullshit, actually sensational manufactured bullshit.
Speaker 2: La is okay, let's just say that up top in
Speaker 2: the way that you know, no one is at risk
Speaker 2: from anything from other Angelinos. It's the fact that we
Speaker 2: have federal authorities and the police brutalizing people. That's that's
Speaker 2: the danger right now, because prior to that, we were
Speaker 2: doing Okay, we're fine. We've been through some things, we've
Speaker 2: had some fires. We have an industry that's kind of
Speaker 2: dying in real time in front of our eyes. That's
Speaker 2: causing some problems. But yes we are okay. I think
Speaker 2: with the yeah podcasting, what the news is showing people
Speaker 2: and intentionally mischaracterizing as riots are actually people defending their
Speaker 2: communities from illegal kidnappings of law abiding people. And like
Speaker 2: they want to show burning way mos because that's the
Speaker 2: way they want to delegitimize the cause. What you're seeing
Speaker 2: is civil resistance. And let's not forget we've been through
Speaker 2: this before. Right in twenty twenty, it was about anti
Speaker 2: black racism and over policing. The media focused on crime
Speaker 2: but completely left out the part where crime is actually
Speaker 2: a downstream issue due to inequality and white supremacy. This
Speaker 2: time we were hearing about criminal aliens and crime. Again,
Speaker 2: the part the media leaves out is to you know,
Speaker 2: the entire thing is that the media and the people
Speaker 2: who own the media then dictate what we are told
Speaker 2: or what is covered. Have been scapegoating immigrants as a
Speaker 2: way to avoid a real discussion on inequality and exploitation
Speaker 2: in this country, a way to avoid the easy question
Speaker 2: of if these people pay taxes and are contributing, what's
Speaker 2: the problem and why is there more money to kill
Speaker 2: innocent people? Thousands of miles away and no money for
Speaker 2: kids to have their illnesses treated. And they always say immigrants. Well,
Speaker 2: this is where we're at now, and many pundits and
Speaker 2: well meaning liberals are saying things.
Speaker 1: Like don't be violent.
Speaker 2: They're not. The police are the ones shooting people at
Speaker 2: point blank range, disappearing protesters, and unmarked cars trampling citizens
Speaker 2: with horses. These people merely showed up in physical space
Speaker 2: to demonstrate that when their loved ones are being torn
Speaker 2: out of their homes, their cars, their elementary schools, we
Speaker 2: will not tolerate that bullshit. So you see, this is
Speaker 2: what the resistance looks like. This is what fighting oligarchy
Speaker 2: looks like. Do the Democrats remember a few months ago
Speaker 2: they're at that podium and weekly yelling things like we
Speaker 2: will fight. Well, guess what this is what that looks like.
Speaker 2: You don't just cower in fear because they are more
Speaker 2: powerful or more violent than you, or because they have
Speaker 2: more seats in Congress. You dig deep and find your
Speaker 2: humanity and realize that this is not what life should
Speaker 2: look like and be like for us in America. We
Speaker 2: reject it, we resist it.
Speaker 1: But because I did double check that picture of the
Speaker 1: guy riding his motorcycle with the Mexican play. It was
Speaker 1: not Chuck Schumer. No, I wanted to double check to
Speaker 1: make it wasn't.
Speaker 2: It wasn't, or Pelosi, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't.
Speaker 3: There a point where they like held up little ping
Speaker 3: pong paddles that said like I'm actually oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And we're getting lectured by those people. They're saying to fight,
Speaker 2: and that's what we're doing. But because these phrases have
Speaker 2: been co opted and obscured, we are meant to think
Speaker 2: that resistance in its highest form is to just yell resist. Okay, Sadly,
Speaker 2: when fascism comes to your town, merely saying resist to
Speaker 2: militarize goons is not enough, and we're forced to protect
Speaker 2: each other. We were forced to come out in numbers
Speaker 2: and show the world that we are united with our family, friends,
Speaker 2: and neighbors. Regardles of some bureaucratic designation that is known
Speaker 2: as illegal, we don't see legal or illegal. We see kindness.
Speaker 2: We see generosity. We see people fucking tending to the
Speaker 2: pepper spray wounds of the very people that are oppressing
Speaker 2: them and disappearing them. Their rights are our rights, so
Speaker 2: It's pretty simple. Like, if we live in a world
Speaker 2: where we tolerate seeing children ripped from their parents' arms
Speaker 2: at a daycare or a graduation, we are saying we
Speaker 2: will tolerate our children being ripped from our arms. If
Speaker 2: we tolerate seeing someone who doesn't look like us be
Speaker 2: dehumanized and humiliated, we are not saying. We are then
Speaker 2: saying we will tolerate our own dehumanization and humiliation. So
Speaker 2: we draw line and we say no, we have a
Speaker 2: vision for how we want to live together and take
Speaker 2: care of each other and make sure we can all
Speaker 2: live with the kind of stability and happiness we deserve,
Speaker 2: as it is our human rights, not some legislative concept
Speaker 2: that needs to be debated on the floors of Congress.
Speaker 2: So yeah, LA is fine. In fact, we're so fine,
Speaker 2: and we love our neighbors so fucking much that in
Speaker 2: times like these we will show our collective love for
Speaker 2: each other in a way that clearly resonates, as we've
Speaker 2: seen with solidarity protests popping up across the country and
Speaker 2: in many cases people just doing the exact same thing
Speaker 2: what people are in LA are doing. They're seeing people
Speaker 2: in their towns, their neighbors being violated and they stand
Speaker 2: up for them, and that's what we're seeing. So let's
Speaker 2: you know, what we're what we're doing, is we're seeing
Speaker 2: the federal agents try and force a way of living
Speaker 2: on us that we just flatly reject. So all this
Speaker 2: talk of like it is a riot, I think that
Speaker 2: completely betrays what is actually happening and what for the
Speaker 2: media has always been like, you know, the resistance is here,
Speaker 2: what is it? I mean, this is what it looks like.
Speaker 2: What are you supposed to do when someone pulls up
Speaker 2: to you and is is trying to separate you from
Speaker 2: your family? There's some form of you that has to resist.
Speaker 2: So to talk about it in this very I mean,
Speaker 2: it's predictable how the media is talking about it, but
Speaker 2: this does such a disservice to what's happening. And you know,
Speaker 2: on the other side of it, you see people who
Speaker 2: have completely fall for that narrative of like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: look what they're doing to their town right now, which
Speaker 2: is not my case. And I think people that's what
Speaker 2: that is the sort of repetition we're seeing over and
Speaker 2: over to then justify whatever whatever is coming next.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it really makes you wonder, especially working at
Speaker 3: Cracks where sort of part of the mission statement. Then
Speaker 3: weirdos would come like Robert Evans would come in and
Speaker 3: be like, I'm going to do the thing I do
Speaker 3: here as well. But originally Jack would drill into us,
Speaker 3: or you know, a lot of the circle around the
Speaker 3: history you don't know the Cracked detextbook was fully focused on,
Speaker 3: and you learn about vice versa. Or it's weird to
Speaker 3: live and actually witness institutions you thought of as well,
Speaker 3: that's a boring, mundane truth lens or whatever. They just
Speaker 3: report the news do outright appeasement propaganda where it's like, oh, snap, no,
Speaker 3: you really can't trust the mainstream media and I don't
Speaker 3: mean it like the crazy people who said it when
Speaker 3: you kind of could. I mean that. Now it's like
Speaker 3: full on cartoonish propaganda. That's weird on multiple issues, you know,
Speaker 3: especially Gaza and LA at the currently are both glaring.
Speaker 3: But at the same time it's just makes you wonder. Then,
Speaker 3: like when you get into unearthed history, stuff you'll learn
Speaker 3: about like massacres that have been completely forgotten, you know,
Speaker 3: borderline genocides on American soil that have been completely forgotten.
Speaker 1: Borderline and textbook straight up.
Speaker 3: It makes you wonder, like the La riots that I
Speaker 3: know about, or again, it just makes me distrust all
Speaker 3: of history or anything I've ever learned and wonder what
Speaker 3: will stand in the textbook, you know, one hundred years
Speaker 3: from now about this. Is it gonna be the bullshit narrative?
Speaker 3: Shit that sucks and makes me wonder or like I've
Speaker 3: crammed my head full of propaganda because I like history,
Speaker 3: learns it all and it's mostly not true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta seek it. Apple's history. Yeah, that's my
Speaker 1: My nine year old was asking, like, you know, what
Speaker 1: was going on, and I was school or not. I
Speaker 1: was trying to like explain to him, and you know,
Speaker 1: I was like, well, so in the past, like a
Speaker 1: president sent in troops to help like protect black children
Speaker 1: going to a school safely, So like in the past
Speaker 1: it's been you know, used for good things. He was like, oh,
Speaker 1: what about internment camps? Oh yeah, that's all right, you're smart,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I do just say the under.
Speaker 7: Reports what you trader, I don't know, never heard of it, okay,
Speaker 7: and neither have you.
Speaker 3: There is no mafia, but just I do.
Speaker 1: Really well put miles the specific underreporting of what the
Speaker 1: ice raids look like in the context of this, Like
Speaker 1: they are focusing so much on burning way mos and
Speaker 1: not on like these raids explain, Yeah, why are people
Speaker 1: reacting this way?
Speaker 2: What's their problem?
Speaker 3: You notice, like.
Speaker 1: That's the first question that should pop in your mind.
Speaker 1: What's their problem?
Speaker 3: And maybe in the fraccice there will or maybe I've
Speaker 3: already missed be ice agent injuries of note, but by
Speaker 3: and large, the huge preponderance I mean not to mention
Speaker 3: like a drone footage of them just straight up beating
Speaker 3: people when they think they're not being filmed going viral.
Speaker 3: But it feels like the big ticket item to catch
Speaker 3: propaganda wise is a burning car. Because A they say looting,
Speaker 3: but there is no looting. This is not about achieving,
Speaker 3: Like no one is take advantage of this on a
Speaker 3: widespread scale to get objects or possessions, uh, and B
Speaker 3: that leaves them. I feel like with the only shot
Speaker 3: is like, well that's a very expensive thing.
Speaker 1: You don't like.
Speaker 3: So much chaos is implied in a burning car, so
Speaker 3: much waste and loss of property to society, And it's like,
Speaker 3: please keep in mind, flames are very impactful looking. Something
Speaker 3: burning seems very threatening and violent, but a burning car
Speaker 3: is nothing compared to getting a rubber bullet in the
Speaker 3: leg or the head or gased in it like Fox
Speaker 3: and you have PTSD for years to come. Like none
Speaker 3: of this is on the scale of it's it is nonviolence.
Speaker 3: It's what's surreal to me is to see people go
Speaker 3: or like James Woods people, but now everyone is a
Speaker 3: human being. That's that's my we're the good guys. But
Speaker 3: but it's funny to me that James Woods will post
Speaker 3: a picture of the truck on fire and be like
Speaker 3: this just has in this is uncomfortable, and it's like
Speaker 3: like this is twenty twenty dragging kids away from their
Speaker 3: elementary school like a cowboy from what I was brought,
Speaker 3: like a big, alpha male cowboy wandering through town. Would
Speaker 3: be like excuse me, sir, onhand that little girl, that's
Speaker 3: always how you say it, or like it's so obvious
Speaker 3: you know, Q, where the Baddi's Jeff or whatever. It's like, right,
Speaker 3: not hard to be on the right side of history
Speaker 3: with this Russels.
Speaker 2: The coverage is interesting, right because twenty twenty you couldn't
Speaker 2: escape all of the on film killings that happened with
Speaker 2: the price, and that they had to sort of be
Speaker 2: like injuxtapose the two with what's happening right now.
Speaker 1: They aren't doing that with They're not really giving you
Speaker 1: the detail to really connect people to the outrage, and
Speaker 1: I think they maybe learn their lesson or something like, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: we did too much explaining.
Speaker 3: I think they are or that's too much or the
Speaker 3: financial incentive again is just well for the shareholder's sake.
Speaker 3: I guess Trump won and they won. I guess that's
Speaker 3: what people want. We better pivot to supporting that and
Speaker 3: that will move more units. I thought society, right, it's
Speaker 3: like all of business to say. In some cases, it
Speaker 3: feels to me like everything is just like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: last season we were going woke and there was money
Speaker 3: in that. I guess we're going fascist now and there's
Speaker 3: money in that. My boss told me to pivot to that.
Speaker 3: And it's like, damn the humanity again. This is why
Speaker 3: you start to understand, you know, or well, quotes like
Speaker 3: the person who will stand by and think this is
Speaker 3: fine is just as bad as that's the Nazi camp commandant.
Speaker 3: And it's like sometimes it feels that way for sure.
Speaker 1: Just following orders, just following the market. You know, we're
Speaker 1: just following the market.
Speaker 3: Hey already got guys. But yeah, I mean we were
Speaker 3: who dragged little girls out in the street saying well,
Speaker 3: we're just doing our job, and it's like that's not
Speaker 3: good enough for her.
Speaker 2: That's also that's not a good job.
Speaker 1: Then.
Speaker 3: Also, what did they tell you Ms? Thirteen? This little
Speaker 3: girl is what's going on?
Speaker 2: I think that's why. I also there's a huge question
Speaker 2: marks over where these people came from. Who, like what
Speaker 2: part of federal law enforce Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. There's been such a widespread conservative backlash to
Speaker 1: so many scare tactic things about like children are being
Speaker 1: endangered by like whatever they makes up trafficked. You know,
Speaker 1: zip ties on your car door handle, that's a sign
Speaker 1: that you and your child going through the Pizzagate. They
Speaker 1: go through and they don't come back. The traffickers are
Speaker 1: leaving clues to make sure to make it a game,
Speaker 1: I guess, to make sure the zip tie on your
Speaker 1: door handle. Because they're trafficking so many people, they got
Speaker 1: to keep track of which cars they're going to traffic.
Speaker 1: This is a situation where people in masks are going
Speaker 1: to schools who and asking to like see children like
Speaker 1: the principles are having to like turn them away people
Speaker 1: who like won't fucking show their ideas, Like what if
Speaker 1: those are ice agents, if those are homeland security officers,
Speaker 1: and that is the precedent you're setting, Like I can't
Speaker 1: think of a more dangerous situation for children, and yeah,
Speaker 1: like the to normalize people going to abduct them and
Speaker 1: being like no, this one's part of the government. It's like, well, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's really difficult to like watch and think of
Speaker 1: like all the times like people who voted for Democrats
Speaker 1: clamored for things like amnesty for people who have come
Speaker 1: into this country, for universal health care, to codify road,
Speaker 1: to do something about over policing.
Speaker 2: And like yeah, we'll get to that. But again there's
Speaker 2: always this argument of like it's just so unpopular, it's
Speaker 2: so difficult. Let me tell you something. If you codify,
Speaker 2: you would not see people in the streets like this.
Speaker 2: If you gave people universal health care, you would not
Speaker 2: see people in the streets like this. If you gave
Speaker 2: people amnesty, you would not see people in the streets
Speaker 2: like this. Now you would see some people, but not
Speaker 2: at this scale. And I think that really lays waste
Speaker 2: to any fucking argument that they want to put up
Speaker 2: about things not being politically the will to do something,
Speaker 2: because look on the other side of it, these people
Speaker 2: just went all in on this shit and look at
Speaker 2: what's happening, and I think it reveals a level of
Speaker 2: cowardice to that party that I think is so infuriating
Speaker 2: to see is like, you're gonna let them take swings
Speaker 2: like this, and you're not even gonna take a swing
Speaker 2: to just provide amnesty for people that have been in
Speaker 2: this country. You're not even take a swing to give
Speaker 2: health care to people.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: No, And they're like, well, there's all these other things.
Speaker 2: It's just miss us with all this shit. And I
Speaker 2: think that's what's so it, And like it's funny because
Speaker 2: now you do see some Democrats who are in California,
Speaker 2: who represent this region specifically, are now fully all in
Speaker 2: on this, like, well, shoot me. Like Maxine Waters was
Speaker 2: like shoot me. Then you know, Gavin Newsom, who has
Speaker 2: a terrible track record, is suddenly like just get it
Speaker 2: over with the rest of me. I don't care, like,
Speaker 2: but let's just do this, like let's get this over with.
Speaker 2: And now you're like, oh what, because this is what
Speaker 2: happens in America. It's not till it's literally at your
Speaker 2: fucking door do you figure it out. They're like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is a problem. It was never a problem when
Speaker 2: everybody yesterday telling you.
Speaker 3: You're I'm on the pod new scum. That's good. I
Speaker 3: get it. I got to sit to you, like I
Speaker 3: can throw the line. I do think it's a fundamental
Speaker 3: click in and you can unclick right like once you
Speaker 3: understand always doing it. He's going all in for the
Speaker 3: fascist pitch like it's happening. I do think that you
Speaker 3: have to quickly polarize. Everything's a spectrum. But you're either
Speaker 3: the type of person who's like, well, I can't risk
Speaker 3: my personal life for the stakes I have in the fire.
Speaker 3: I'll just watch fearfully as things unfold and hope it
Speaker 3: goes the right way, versus the people who are like, well,
Speaker 3: I can't do that or all because I'm my Assholeclay,
Speaker 3: I have to say no, don't, you can't or I don't.
Speaker 3: It feels like I'm moral imperative again, that we're at
Speaker 3: the point where, believe, dude, I live a privilege because
Speaker 3: your life and I want to just keep playing internet
Speaker 3: games and stuff. But even me, I'm like, Okay, well
Speaker 3: we better get out to the protests or we better
Speaker 3: start amplue, like we have to start doing things beyond
Speaker 3: just amplifying eloquence restatements of the problem, because I just
Speaker 3: don't want not to put it through that everything through
Speaker 3: that lens. But like I guess everyone does, so I
Speaker 3: will when my son grows up, I assuming he survives
Speaker 3: to the next phase, I don't want him to look
Speaker 3: back and be like, oh, we did like a Nazi
Speaker 3: thing like period of time, and my family was one
Speaker 3: of the let's hide out and wait it out families.
Speaker 3: You don't want to be that family. Yeah, you want
Speaker 3: to be the at least which the Angelina people seem
Speaker 3: to be doing, the like love thy neighbor, like at
Speaker 3: least stick up for the people in your area of influence. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And also a lot of people I think I see
Speaker 2: a lot of people getting stressed online about like I
Speaker 2: want to be out there and I don't know what
Speaker 2: to do. I don't know how to help. And I
Speaker 2: think it's the same thing. Yet not everyone. Not everyone's
Speaker 2: contribution to a movement like this is to be in
Speaker 2: the streets. There are people that are able to, and
Speaker 2: I commend them, And for those who can't, there's no
Speaker 2: reason to feel bad about that. But if you do
Speaker 2: feel any will to act, there's resources. Whether you want
Speaker 2: to support a group financially, maybe with a skill you have,
Speaker 2: maybe you're a graphic designer, you can say, hey, can
Speaker 2: I design some leaflets for you for free? Can I
Speaker 2: use my platform I have? Maybe I'm just a Twitch streamer,
Speaker 2: or maybe I have a niche arts and crafts page
Speaker 2: that I make. But at the very least thousands of
Speaker 2: people are interested in what I talk about. Use that,
Speaker 2: use a platform, whatever you can. There are ways to contribute.
Speaker 2: It always doesn't look the same, but make sure that
Speaker 2: you at least can contribute some energy in some direction
Speaker 2: to that. And I think that you know, that's a
Speaker 2: huge hump that people have to get over, and and
Speaker 2: I get it, because this kind of direct action is
Speaker 2: not very It's not a thing that Americans engage in
Speaker 2: constantly or normally. But again, there are so many opportunities
Speaker 2: around there. And to your point, Michael, like everything is
Speaker 2: so much about this narrative that everyone's like it's a riot.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure all of us have gotten text from
Speaker 2: people like are you okay?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Have an article that I'm just sending
Speaker 1: to people being like, this is what it actually is.
Speaker 1: Like somebody who's on the ground with the protesters being like,
Speaker 1: the harshest standoff was like a bunch of clergy members
Speaker 1: yea entering off with yeah, interface clergy just like trying
Speaker 1: to like it's a band pulls up.
Speaker 3: Is one sided all to our yea.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: All we're doing is saying, no, we don't agree. How
Speaker 2: many of us don't agree? Look, how many of us
Speaker 2: don't how many oh yeah, shoot us? Okay, the will
Speaker 2: stand here, Well you shoot us. Please don't take this
Speaker 2: little girl away For no reason.
Speaker 1: That just popped in my head as you guys were talking.
Speaker 1: One is the hoping that it will get better. I
Speaker 1: was listening to Masha Gessen, who's New York writer be
Speaker 1: interviewed about you know, they went through the Putin like
Speaker 1: the whole you know, slide into authoritarianism under Putin, and
Speaker 1: they were saying, just like the thing that you're taken
Speaker 1: by is like how quickly people get used to a
Speaker 1: thing and then how two years on you're always like, man,
Speaker 1: we had so much, We had the ability to do
Speaker 1: so much two years ago, like it just keeps getting worse.
Speaker 1: It's the our ability to imagine how it can get worse,
Speaker 1: Like think about it in twenty sixteen when everyone was like, well,
Speaker 1: this is like crazy, right, and then think about it
Speaker 1: how much worse it is now, and it's just it
Speaker 1: will keep getting worse, Like there's no like they're hoping
Speaker 1: that it will get better. I'm not saying that, like
Speaker 1: you need to go out and throw your body in
Speaker 1: front of the fucking tank at Trump's birthday parade. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that any idea that, like, without anything happening,
Speaker 1: it will just get better on its own is not
Speaker 1: That's not how authoritarianism works. This is how authoritarian does
Speaker 1: it works. It's a steady slide and a power grab
Speaker 1: that gets worse and worse and we leave, we lose
Speaker 1: more and more rights.
Speaker 2: And the math is easy though too. You only need
Speaker 2: like three and a half percent of a population to
Speaker 2: be actively resisting to really thwart.
Speaker 3: On stabilized stabili. That's why I totally understand the cognitive
Speaker 3: dissonance of the people reaching out, because everyone had to
Speaker 3: go through where you're like, wait, but all the news
Speaker 3: says it's on fire. You're like, it's not on fire.
Speaker 3: You're like, but they all say it. You're telling me
Speaker 3: I can't rely on any information. And when I went
Speaker 3: through that moment and looking back in history, I'm like,
Speaker 3: but I've always known that. Or I'm a student of
Speaker 3: history and sociology and studied fascist mechanics because I'm interested
Speaker 3: in that stuff. And I'm like, there's still that part
Speaker 3: of you that's like, but not to me, or they're
Speaker 3: doing it to me now in the modern context, I
Speaker 3: thought that was what dumb history people got the wool
Speaker 3: pulled over their eyes.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's called mechanics, like Nazi rick over at
Speaker 2: the just tires.
Speaker 1: And I also think just like you brought up Gaza
Speaker 1: and that has also always you know, all the points
Speaker 1: that Miles was making about, like when they're doing it
Speaker 1: to one person, they're doing it to anyone. Like what
Speaker 1: just seeing that reporter gets shot in the ass with
Speaker 1: a like plastic a rubber munition, but like just seeing
Speaker 1: the you know whatever it was, ice agent or LAPD
Speaker 1: like turn their gun on them, like specifically like aim
Speaker 1: it at them as they're like live reporting, Like this
Speaker 1: is that's what you know? Gaza has always been as
Speaker 1: like you any any where someone is treated like that,
Speaker 1: treated like vermin, to be like ethnically cleansed. It's being
Speaker 1: backed by your government, like that's that's going to come back,
Speaker 1: that's that's not that it doesn't stop.
Speaker 3: There, right, And we usually try to just detegrate people
Speaker 3: of different skin color with like some like a term
Speaker 3: like terrorist, which has become so rampantly propagant from my
Speaker 3: you know, over the course of my life. And then
Speaker 3: if they happen to be the same skin color, then
Speaker 3: as we see now, we go like, well, trader, then
Speaker 3: then they're a trader, right, And it's like then okay,
Speaker 3: so you can attack and anyone at any time for
Speaker 3: any reason, and we're through the looking glass people we are,
Speaker 3: as house might say.
Speaker 2: It's just so weird because like, you know, Stephen Miller
Speaker 2: is behind all of this, and they've been planning this,
Speaker 2: and like you know, they're they're picking la as an
Speaker 2: example because we're the biggest city with the biggest uh
Speaker 2: you know, population of people that are here that are undocumented,
Speaker 2: and they at the same time, dude, you're going after
Speaker 2: the biggest fucking city in your first go here. This
Speaker 2: is this I don't know if you understand, like, really
Speaker 2: what happens here, This is a this is we fucking
Speaker 2: care about each other. Americans just care about each other
Speaker 2: generally speaking well, and then to do it in the
Speaker 2: city this vast and like trying to It's just like,
Speaker 2: I don't know how they think this is going to end,
Speaker 2: but it's not going to end in a way that
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone wants. And I think that's why
Speaker 2: it's really dangerous for this for the media, especially to
Speaker 2: keep both sizes and like well Trump says it's actually
Speaker 2: being over one now Los Angeles has fallen and these
Speaker 2: and then but city officials say there's no need for
Speaker 2: It's like, why are you even reporting it like this
Speaker 2: report the truth? The truth is there is nothing happening
Speaker 2: here that we can't handle, well, we can't really handle. Rather,
Speaker 2: we can't abide by these people. The only invasion that
Speaker 2: is happening is from ice agents completely disrupting our peaceful
Speaker 2: way of living here.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: And I think another part of the tragedy of humanity
Speaker 3: that seems so like bittersweet to a lot of people
Speaker 3: who just are able to see these layers unfold, is
Speaker 3: it really feels like they also, so vonagets to. The
Speaker 3: trouble with dumb bastards is they're something like they're too
Speaker 3: dumb to know how dumb they are.
Speaker 1: Is it's like they don't know there's any such thing
Speaker 1: as dumb.
Speaker 3: So that's right, thank you. It's cruelty for the sake
Speaker 3: of cruelty, just to Empowermacy or short term financially, you're like,
Speaker 3: because that will allow me to stay in power one
Speaker 3: more election and get money here. And it's like, truly, though,
Speaker 3: at the cost of crippling your entire nation, and you're
Speaker 3: all your countrymen, and they're like, right, I've reconciled with that.
Speaker 3: That's fine with me. And so it's just bizarre to
Speaker 3: me that this whole churning tornado of hatred, like sometimes
Speaker 3: people used to say, like Stalin still got the trains
Speaker 3: to run on time, and I that sounds like propaganda
Speaker 3: to me. I have no idea if it bears out.
Speaker 3: But Trump can't even say that. It's like, yeah, you saw.
Speaker 1: The legs crash on time.
Speaker 3: You destroyed everything and saw the legs off the table
Speaker 3: and sold the legs and took the money and left.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, yeah, I mean they have no connection to
Speaker 2: the world, like white supremacy.
Speaker 3: They're already in the survival bunker. And what they don't
Speaker 3: understand is the survival bunker is not good enough yet.
Speaker 3: We're not there yet technologically.
Speaker 2: Like and also like and when we're building it for you,
Speaker 2: we'll sabotage it.
Speaker 3: Like you're a human being born into this world, be
Speaker 3: where you need to be.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about adults going to children's movies. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back and we're back. Yeah. And the question
Speaker 1: is being asked online. It just a light switch, like
Speaker 1: you under my classic newscaster, being asked online, is it
Speaker 1: okay for adults to go see kids movies and theaters alone?
Speaker 1: The issue was recently brought up by a mother on
Speaker 1: momsnet dot com for UIM so she went online she
Speaker 1: I mean whatever as someone who's purporting to write as
Speaker 1: a mom is on this for him and says that
Speaker 1: they went to stitch and uh, there was just some
Speaker 1: guy there by himself munching on snacks in you fucking what.
Speaker 3: Talking about her crowd ads or because it's in a different.
Speaker 6: He was eating a damn crab Boil sitting there just
Speaker 6: munching away on snacks, and she resisted the urge to
Speaker 6: take him right then and there, and instead wrote about
Speaker 6: it like from the theater.
Speaker 1: By the way, was like posting from her seat in
Speaker 1: the theater as the movie's happening. And so I wanted
Speaker 1: to put it to you guys, because I honestly, as
Speaker 1: a fake journalist, I honestly don't know how I feel
Speaker 1: about this. What do you guys think? What is it
Speaker 1: okay for adults to go to movie?
Speaker 2: I mean, they did conduct a pole under that post,
Speaker 2: and it's found that ninety five percent of people who
Speaker 2: responded to this post said she was being unreasonable for
Speaker 2: theaking what is this man doing having snacks in this?
Speaker 2: I get like sort of like the your first side,
Speaker 2: like whoa, oh no, like where's my kid? But it's
Speaker 2: a movie and you're there to see a movie. I
Speaker 2: don't I mean, like, yeah, go ahead all the way.
Speaker 3: Y miles. It was Kronos devouring his own children, and
Speaker 3: now you look like the ass oh A wide ranging no, No,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say. I feel like as someone who's never
Speaker 3: gone to the movie theater alone and it's forty years
Speaker 3: of age, and I think about all the time, how
Speaker 3: it's weird that I've never done that and there's nothing
Speaker 3: stopping me, and I should and I'm a lone wolf
Speaker 3: type guy and I'd probably enjoy it, but total habit
Speaker 3: to never It never occurs to me to go to
Speaker 3: him and I.
Speaker 2: Did time like three years ago.
Speaker 3: And I think there's a lot of us it like
Speaker 3: doesn't occur to people. How was it was it?
Speaker 8: It was weird, like I saw this, It's amazing. I
Speaker 8: saw the creator that lady looks upset. I saw the
Speaker 8: Creator and I don't know, like, you know, a weird way.
Speaker 8: I think the movie hit me differently because I wasn't
Speaker 8: sitting next to anyone I knew, Like I just straight
Speaker 8: up just took it all in without Yeah. Sometimes you know,
Speaker 8: Jack and I we just saw a screening and like
Speaker 8: so sometimes I like to be like, yo, ya talk
Speaker 8: some shit, like something funny about great.
Speaker 1: Great joke in the middle of the mind. Can't talk
Speaker 1: about right now. But it was funniest ship. I was
Speaker 1: absolutely dying.
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, I really enjoyed it, and like I'm
Speaker 2: the exact same way, like I've only known going to
Speaker 2: the movies as the thing I did with my friends
Speaker 2: or like family or whatever. So it's very it was
Speaker 2: very joy I definitely eat more alone than I have
Speaker 2: go to the movies alone.
Speaker 1: So I find eating alone depress it actually not like
Speaker 1: for myself, but when I see other people eating alone,
Speaker 1: it's depressing to me. There nothing about movies going to
Speaker 1: the movie by oneself, Like I love going to the movies.
Speaker 1: But it was a.
Speaker 3: Live action Disney movie.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I take issue with live actions.
Speaker 1: I take it. I take yeah, I take issue with
Speaker 1: their decision to go see that movie.
Speaker 3: They just re released Princess monon Nok in theaters. Go
Speaker 3: see that.
Speaker 2: Go see that because there's a whole isn't it like
Speaker 2: a whole jibbli fest like every week?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're rotating.
Speaker 1: I think was coming out like next I know, Lelon
Speaker 1: Stitch is like definitely a found fundational film for a
Speaker 1: lot of people, and so like, you know the fact
Speaker 1: that they're not I'm not gonna judge. I have had
Speaker 1: the experience where I went to see the Lego movie
Speaker 1: when that came out by myself as a thirty three
Speaker 1: year old that somewhere thereabouts and was like surrounded by
Speaker 1: families and it was like also at that point where
Speaker 1: like we were start starting to talk about having kids
Speaker 1: and whether I was responsible enough to have kids or not.
Speaker 1: And I was like, huh, that hit me a little weird,
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't think it should be a
Speaker 1: pro I think everybody should be able to do this.
Speaker 2: Like isn't this all just operating on this like weird
Speaker 2: suspicion that an adult and the presence of children is
Speaker 2: automatically a predator, you know what I mean? Like because
Speaker 2: all of it's like, isn't it weird?
Speaker 1: I don't know this coviction.
Speaker 3: The idea would be that he's there because there's kids there.
Speaker 2: Well, right, because I feel like people like, isn't that odd?
Speaker 2: Like some people do, Like there are other people who
Speaker 2: pointed out they're like, oh, I don't know, like this,
Speaker 2: why was this guy in here when there's a bunch
Speaker 2: of children in here and he's by himself And it's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, this movie came out twenty three years
Speaker 2: ago when they could have been fucking twelve, and now that's.
Speaker 3: What I mean. It's like that part of he's part
Speaker 3: of the demo Disney's explicitly going after people who likes
Speaker 3: Leelan and Stitch and are fans of CG or whatever
Speaker 3: want to see how it looks, you know now.
Speaker 2: Right, because like you see other posts two online where
Speaker 2: people like, is it okay if I go, I don't
Speaker 2: want to look like a creeper? Yeah, you know, and
Speaker 2: it's like you're minecraft And again I'm sure that obviously
Speaker 2: they're I'm not saying that there are these places like
Speaker 2: a screening with a bunch of kids and it is
Speaker 2: absolute devoid of people who might have fucking weird intentions,
Speaker 2: but like I think merely the idea that they're like, no,
Speaker 2: this movie can only have children in here. It's like, okay,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: There's different movies. I'd be a little more askance at,
Speaker 3: like if it was just my Little Pony, CG Princess
Speaker 3: Party movie and that guy, but then you got Bronie's
Speaker 3: seventy one. I know I would.
Speaker 1: And not eating snacks. The snacks actually make it like
Speaker 1: it's fine.
Speaker 3: Way more likely that he's not a weird hour creep
Speaker 3: because there's reasons to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he just sits down down front, turns us
Speaker 1: back to the screen and doesn't. Then I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit weird crossing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, comes in wearing the black masks from black phone
Speaker 3: and asks my kid if they want to watch.
Speaker 1: He's just a nice with them. He's just a nice agent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just doing his job.
Speaker 2: Jam was writing in this piece so too, Like I
Speaker 2: didn't know there are movie theater showings where like they
Speaker 2: have like changing tables in there, like they're fully made
Speaker 2: for you to bring ye.
Speaker 1: Showings like the really early morning showings of movies are
Speaker 1: made for like families, and sometimes they'll like leave the
Speaker 1: lights up a little bit maneuvers. Yeah, and it's just
Speaker 1: like the kids kind of roam free and the parents
Speaker 1: are just like on their phones that are talking to
Speaker 1: each other.
Speaker 3: More of a fun thing to have, you kid, It's
Speaker 3: like an alternate to taking them to the park every
Speaker 3: single time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like as somebody who goes to the movies kind of
Speaker 2: somewhat often like and also has a kid, that was
Speaker 2: so foreign to me.
Speaker 3: I think of going to the movies with my family
Speaker 3: once once to twice a week every week, and my
Speaker 3: kid will get the same treatment. Movies are life.
Speaker 2: Like anything though, You're like fuck it, I mean.
Speaker 3: You can't see screens till you know yet for some
Speaker 3: time now still, but when we get there, I have
Speaker 3: no special resistance to obviously looking at like I don't think,
Speaker 3: don't watch TV. It'll write your brain. I think it's
Speaker 3: a freaking.
Speaker 1: Contract I've divided today.
Speaker 3: You have to have critical reading and thinking skills and
Speaker 3: discern what is good and interesting and what is bullshit.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you guys help that who the show? I
Speaker 3: was trying to say something, cut it out, Cut it out.
Speaker 3: I didn't mean it.
Speaker 1: We don't take well the compliments. I mean, Michael, it's
Speaker 1: always such a pleasure having you on the show. Where
Speaker 1: can people find you? Follow you, enjoy your work?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I moved to my liberal bubble cuck life simulator
Speaker 3: called Blue Sky, So I'm on Blue Sky instead of
Speaker 3: X now, which I only call X now that I've
Speaker 3: left it like an X that you shared. So it's
Speaker 3: just Michael Swain one word, Michael Swam at Blue Sky.
Speaker 3: People who are huge fans of me and say that
Speaker 3: I am like among their top ten comedians for a
Speaker 3: decade or whatever, will still spell my name with an
Speaker 3: N at the end is in Nancy. So I rarely
Speaker 3: do this, but because it occurs to me Swim swim
Speaker 3: just with an m like Mary or Michael Michael, swam
Speaker 3: dot Blue Sky Dot Social. And then of course you
Speaker 3: can also find the presence of my new show, which
Speaker 3: I'd like to finally fully plug, called The Simpsons Tammy
Speaker 3: Everything on Instagram at st m epod And is it
Speaker 3: an appropriate time to actually plug the plug itself? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Please screw it up doing it?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: So if you know the show connections or don't tell
Speaker 3: Robert I said this, but like behind the Bastards, But
Speaker 3: but I did it. It's sort of that model, and
Speaker 3: it it mirrors the way that a Simpsons episode will
Speaker 3: start somewhere and just do sort of stream of consciousness
Speaker 3: and jerk you around. But if you like Cracks, you'll
Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying when I say, basically on the show,
Speaker 3: I start with a single Simpsons joke, like a super
Speaker 3: famous bit, like the monorail song was our pilot zoom
Speaker 3: in on? What is that? A reference to the music man?
Speaker 3: What is the music man that got us all the
Speaker 3: way to like the rise of car culture, the invention
Speaker 3: of credit, the golden age of the traveling salesmen, mass
Speaker 3: cons and scams from throughout history, incidents as a mass hysteria,
Speaker 3: Hooverville's and like the Smoot Holly Tariff Act, which is
Speaker 3: which was funny in the sense that if you get
Speaker 3: down to the brass tacks, even this ship that's happening
Speaker 3: with Trump and everything, even the tariff thing is identical
Speaker 3: to what they did right before the Great Depression. They're like,
Speaker 3: we'll slap huge tariffs on the whole world. That will
Speaker 3: fix it, and that is blamed for causing the Great Depression.
Speaker 3: So we just never learned. But anyway, was great though, Right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was a good one. I'm gonna stop paying attention.
Speaker 2: Yeah, such terrible reading comprehension.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of.
Speaker 3: Thing is, you know, in cracked style with jokes and
Speaker 3: Simpsons related trivia games peppetting throughout which behind the bastards
Speaker 3: does not have I and great guess like members of
Speaker 3: the correct you know, members of the Cracked Golden Era,
Speaker 3: but also great folks like Danielle Radford, Cody Zigler, been on,
Speaker 3: Brian Brushwood of modern Rogue. All kinds of folks come
Speaker 3: on and I teach them and you about basically anything science, history, sociology.
Speaker 3: Jack would again say it cracked, and I think think
Speaker 3: of all the cracked children, I'm still doing the most
Speaker 3: cracked the stuff, which is just make you the most
Speaker 3: interesting person at your next cocktail party. We just like
Speaker 3: learn really interesting stuff all day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to do one on the joke of
Speaker 2: I have three kids and no money.
Speaker 3: And what is three money? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What is our next one?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 3: It starts with the time Willy said, Ah tis more
Speaker 3: dizzy and than the belfry at cleric kagoon wagons and
Speaker 3: I explain what clackkagon wagons is because it's a real thing,
Speaker 3: and then the whole history of everything Willy has ever
Speaker 3: said in a Crash course on Scottish history and independence.
Speaker 3: So it's that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Video game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can find it on YouTube at the
Speaker 3: Cracked YouTube channel. It's for Cracked. I don't know if
Speaker 3: they said that or or by subscribing to the Cracked
Speaker 3: podcast on Spotify and you hear my voice that I'm
Speaker 3: like podcast, that's what I'm see. I would have gone
Speaker 3: the other way. This is, as Jack knows SEO is
Speaker 3: like a strategy gamble, right, So the current people whose
Speaker 3: decision it is were like, we would rather just run
Speaker 3: it in the old feed because the legacy subs still
Speaker 3: exists there of people who are subed to the Crack podcast.
Speaker 1: That's probably the idea. That's cool.
Speaker 3: See, I think they may well be right strategically, but
Speaker 3: the like anal artist to me is definitely like, no,
Speaker 3: we should have sacrificed those and gambled on the confidence
Speaker 3: of starting fresh with a fresh feed that's just called that.
Speaker 3: That's just called this because it's confusing.
Speaker 9: But anyway, you could change the name of the feed later. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: So for now, look for the Cracked podcast, which has
Speaker 9: not posted in five years, and you will see that
Speaker 9: the thing that's posting there now is my show.
Speaker 1: There you go, amazing is there? So that's the work
Speaker 1: of media that you're enjoying, that we're all enjoying it.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I did bring something to promote by someone else,
Speaker 3: so I wasn't.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, is there a media that you've been enjoying? Sure?
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll just quickly say how excited I am for
Speaker 3: Cracks x FAM and still dear friend Maggie may Fish,
Speaker 3: who also continues the work in the sense that Maggie
Speaker 3: does incredible long form and highly successful YouTube pop culture
Speaker 3: analysis videos, but lately has been achieving all of my actors' dreams.
Speaker 3: They Maggie made a movie with John Delancey Q from
Speaker 3: Star Trek that's out on Nebula. It's all through Nebula,
Speaker 3: and then just drop the teaser for their new show,
Speaker 3: Amy's dead End dream House. So if you're a fan
Speaker 3: of Maggie may Fish, go check out Amy's dead End
Speaker 3: dream House, a new show featuring Paul F. Tompkins, my
Speaker 3: absolute idol, which even if Maggie wasn't involved, would have
Speaker 3: gotten my interest. But it's like a Peewe's playhouse with
Speaker 3: Maggie as the star analyzing film. It's gonna be good.
Speaker 1: Sounds really good. Yeah, Miles, where can people find you
Speaker 1: as their working media? You've been enjoying.
Speaker 2: Everywhere At Miles of Gray, we're covering the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: What's left of it? Miles and Jack got madsts tuned
Speaker 2: in because there's only a couple episodes left ever of
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: That's gonna yeah done.
Speaker 2: But the show and a couple couple more weeks, there
Speaker 2: will be a true crime podcast revealing all the behind
Speaker 2: the scenes antics about that. Soon enough you will see
Speaker 2: stay tuned also, I find you talking about ninety day
Speaker 2: on four to twenty day fiance. Uh yeah, there's some
Speaker 2: there's some things I like here on Blue Sky at
Speaker 2: you know, George Wallace, Mister George Wallace dot Besky dot
Speaker 2: so so said, so sick of these gang members working
Speaker 2: difficult jobs and paying tens of billions of dollars in federal,
Speaker 2: state and local taxes for decades. You just know they're
Speaker 2: biding their time. Then wham, they'll start doing gang ship
Speaker 2: when they're senior citizens or whatnot exactly. Another one, yeah,
Speaker 2: and whatnot?
Speaker 1: And one one.
Speaker 2: Another one is Christopher Matthias at Let's Go Matthias dot
Speaker 2: best guide at social just said, thinking of this tweet
Speaker 2: for no particular reason, and it's one from at Eyeball
Speaker 2: Slice of It said. A liberal is someone who opposes
Speaker 2: every war except a current war, and supports all civil
Speaker 2: rights movements except the one that's going on right now.
Speaker 1: I just wish they did it exactly the way I
Speaker 1: wanted it. And what are the stakes for you?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Just my comfort?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Just I okay, let's see, I've been enjoying following
Speaker 1: the guy Dave Portnoy, who started Barstool Sports has apparently
Speaker 1: never taken a picture not on his tippy toes, and
Speaker 1: so there's just a lot of people documenting that he
Speaker 1: was like all the lies told about me, This is
Speaker 1: the most egregious. People are literally photoshopping me standing on
Speaker 1: my tippy toes now and then like somebody just like
Speaker 1: posts a video of him, like taking a picture with
Speaker 1: somebody at cheese steak store, and then like the video
Speaker 1: just like pans down as it's been taken and he's
Speaker 1: on a tippy does immediately by Mary King.
Speaker 3: Oh that's has someone done him perfectly on point as
Speaker 3: a ballet dancer yet because he.
Speaker 1: Can't his form is bad.
Speaker 2: Oh he's a Tottenham fan. Yeah, there's a picture of
Speaker 2: him with Arry Kine on his tip.
Speaker 1: Hey, look at this one.
Speaker 2: He is he looks like he's trying to do Michael
Speaker 2: Jackson on his toes like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or the David Blaine tricks someone into thinking you're
Speaker 3: levit's hating by just going up on it. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Just for the people in the back. These photos are
Speaker 1: for the audience in the back. You can find me
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Jack Underscore, ol Brian on Blue Sky
Speaker 1: at Jack ob the number one you can find us
Speaker 1: on Twitter, on Blue Sky, at Daily Zeitgeist, where at
Speaker 1: the Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram, you can go to the
Speaker 1: description of this episode wherever you're listening to it and
Speaker 1: find the footnotes, which is where we link off to
Speaker 1: the information that we talked about in today's episode. We
Speaker 1: also link off to a song that we think you
Speaker 1: might enjoy, Miles, is there a song that you think
Speaker 1: that people might enjoy? Yes?
Speaker 2: I love the Most Deaf album Black on both sides,
Speaker 2: especially the track Umi says. This artist Reginald omas Ma
Speaker 2: Moodey the Fourth who is like half he's from I
Speaker 2: think his mother's from Mauritius and his father's from the UK,
Speaker 2: covered it. But this track, it's sort of like a rework.
Speaker 2: It's called Yasin's Lament because now most stuff goes by
Speaker 2: Yasin Bay and it's just like it's a really vibe
Speaker 2: version of Umi says, And I just think right now,
Speaker 2: hearing that refrain of you know, I want my people
Speaker 2: to be free, to be free, to be free, just
Speaker 2: kind of really resonates in a really nice way, and
Speaker 2: this track does a really good job of that. So
Speaker 2: this is Yasine's Lament by Reginald Omas Mam Day the fourth.
Speaker 1: All right, we will look off to that in the
