1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,159
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of COVID zighteen.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Let's go with that because it's still out here, still

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: getting notifications about people testing positive, uh, all over the place,

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: schools work. I did get a notification of an article

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: that was like, yeah, we're gonna get COVID forever. By

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: the way, if you it is mutating like hotcakes, it

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: is changing, changing, changing, and if you've got COVID, like

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: early on, there's a high chance you will get reinfected

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: with COVID. Like you know, at the beginning, there was

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: this thing like, oh, if you got COVID, you're one

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: and done. You did it. But now it's very much

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: like yeah, after like sixty days, there's a high probability

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: you will get COVID again. Like not every sixty days,

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: but you are very suceptal to getting another case of

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: COVID because it's mutating so fast. And I know people

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: who got it like twice within three months of each other.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's no oak. The cases are rising still

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: out here, big changes that people think I seem crazy

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: when I'm wearing a mask instead of before when they

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: were like yeah, no, that's what we all do. Anyways,

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: I am Jack and that well that is super producer

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: Becca Rama, what's up? You are on a tear and

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your service in helping us

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: through this week of trends. Um, shall we tell the

25
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: people what's trending? Yes, let's Super Nintendo World. That is

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: the theme park version of Nintendo. Um, something that I

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: thought I invented in my brain when I was like twelve,

28
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: was like, how is this not a thing? Isn't it

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: a thing in Japan? Yeah, they've had it for a while.

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: But the first Super Nintendo World theme park in the

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: US will open in Universal Studios in Hollywood in with

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: theme merch but I guess the themed merge is coming

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: before the land debuts. Their first ride will be Bowser's Castle,

34
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: which is a Mario Kart ride, which is the is

35
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: the ride that I had in mind when I first

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: like had the idea for this. It was that and

37
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: then being able to like jump around in a Nick

38
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Arcade style land like you or Mario, but on bungee cords.

39
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: And realized like quickly that I had no idea how

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: anyone would accomplish a world where you could jump around

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: like Mario. But I'm sure they'll figure it out. Those

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: wizards over at Universal Studios, I feel like they haven't

43
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: had a new thing in a while. They haven't, and

44
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: to say the least, I'm very excited. I am a

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: theme park girly. I do love a good theme park.

46
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: My family is a Disney family. They used to go

47
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: every year worlder Land both the World specifically the World

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: is Better. Yeah. My parents grew up in California, so

49
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: they were big Disneyland heads. But then when we had

50
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: a family, you know, Disney World was like our only vacation.

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: And then we would also take a day to go

52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: to Universal because my brother is a big Harry Potter fan.

53
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: So I'm excited because I don't like video games, but

54
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I love the Maria universe. The only video games I

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: play are Super Nintendo, Mario and or Animal Crossing. So

56
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: this is up my alley. I'm very excited to go.

57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I think it'll be so fun. Is the Animal Crossing

58
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: proprietary Nintendo? Like, wasn't that a Nintendo? So there will

59
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: probably be an animal crossing uh section of the park.

60
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. I guess when they picture I'm saying,

61
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: is you know only Mario? So I was like Oh,

62
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be just the Mari universe. But you're right,

63
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: there might be Animal Crossing features up all in there. Yeah.

64
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: What would that ride be for you to do labor

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Like you're in here and it is in all time

66
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: and you get to designs. Yeah, maybe that would be

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: like a good themed hotel or something that would be

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: a good themed hotel because it could be just like

69
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: any of the weird features that you can get in

70
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: like nooks. Uh, tim Nook's housing, you know, specialties, all

71
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: the weird products you can buy that are special Tim Nook. Yes.

72
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: And Tim Nook, of course is the CEO of Apple.

73
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Who is the main character of Animal Crossing? Is it

74
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: Tom Nook? I think, oh my god, it's Tom tim Nook,

75
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: But I was confusing Tim Cook. Is it Tim Cook? Right?

76
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: Tom Nook? I feel like that was a fair missap

77
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: names very similar. I don't care to know either of

78
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: their names because I never played Animal Crossing. All right.

79
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is trending for couple of reasons. Uh, you know,

80
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: rubbing our face and the fact that he is their

81
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: god emperor. He has announced that he has a super

82
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: bad feeling about the economy. Uh, and because of that

83
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: bad healing he has. He is going to cut ten

84
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: percent of salaried staff at Tesla. Either he ate something

85
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: that didn't agree with him or it's this dang economy.

86
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: Either way, he's gonna fire tempers out of his staff

87
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: and pause all hiring worldwide. Just does seem like something

88
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: we're seeing from the gods of finance and Wall Street

89
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: where they're like, we might be headed for recession, y'all,

90
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: And we are seeing, as we talk about on Monday's episode,

91
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: like c suite employees at fuel companies like selling off

92
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: record amounts of stock because they have just robbed us

93
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: blind by raising their prices and like quadrupling money. So

94
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: it's just they're all like, yeah, no, the jig is

95
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna be up here eventually, Like people are going to

96
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: realize we're just taking their money because we can. Right Anyways,

97
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Elon Musk a real piece of ship. Yeah, especially after

98
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, he just announced the forty hour mandatory work week,

99
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: which I have literally never like since the pandemic, have

100
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: not heard one company make their staff come back full

101
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: time forty hours a week in office. So I also

102
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: wonder if it's a reaction to like his staff being

103
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: like we are not working with this. It's like, okay,

104
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: well I'm just gonna cut a lot of people. Yeah,

105
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean the CEO of mindset in the US. And

106
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure it gets like even more rigid when like

107
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: the higher up you go is that like everybody who

108
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 1: they give jobs too is like owes them their life

109
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: essentially like a well, I'd like to see you get

110
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: another job, like you know that sort of at Las

111
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: shrugged bullshit. Um, not not that like they owe their

112
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: employees for like make them all their money, but the opposite.

113
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean you heard it with Trump when he was

114
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: like people were like, what have you ever done anything

115
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: kind to other human beings? He was like, I create

116
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: so many jobs I get I give people healthcare who

117
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: worked for me. I was like, no, that's like the

118
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: alternative to that is slavery. What you're describing is uh,

119
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: running a business that you inherited, asshole. Those are a

120
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: couple of things that are trending. Let's take a quick

121
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: break and we'll be back. And we're back. Another one

122
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: of my faves, Representative Marjorie Taylor Green, is in the

123
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: headlines for I mean, her name isn't in the headlines,

124
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: so much as the new phrase. I mean, it's not new,

125
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: but she's trying to get a moving Christian nationalism is trending.

126
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: So she's saying openly, um, which this is just like

127
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: white nationalism, like but more specific. Uh, She's saying, like

128
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: that's the solution to all of americans problems, like we

129
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: won't have school shooting, crime, sexual immorality if we just

130
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 1: have like a Christian government that mandates Christian morality around

131
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: the country. Yeah, I mean watched the clip before you know,

132
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: we started recording. Let's play should we should we play Brian?

133
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Can we play that? Can we run that clip? You see,

134
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: Nationalism is a good thing. It's where all Americans should be.

135
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: We should be wanting America first. We should be wanting

136
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: our tax dollars, our focus, our legislation, our bills, and

137
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: our leadership focused on our nation. We should be proud

138
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: of nationalism, and we should be proud of an America

139
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: worst nationalism. And then lastly, we should be most proud

140
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: of Christianity. So if Christian nationalism is something to be

141
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: scared of, they're lying to you, and they're lying to

142
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: you on purpose, because that is exactly the temperature change

143
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: that is happening in America today and they can't control it.

144
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: They can't control it, and that's what terrifies them the most.

145
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean she basically says that this will

146
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: make it so that there's to make sure it is

147
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: like they can grow up to be good moms and

148
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: dad's and I'm assuming it also is like no more

149
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: school shootings because nobody will go to school school. Yeah,

150
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: they will be home school. Super producer Brian pointed out

151
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: what confused me about the clip was it was saying

152
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: much like she always does a lot of nothing, you know.

153
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: It was just like, yeah, Christian nationalism is the way,

154
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: and that will stop the shootings because everybody will be

155
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,119
Speaker 1: a moral standard. And it's like, what about Christian nationalism

156
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: is going to make people more oral? I don't know,

157
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: Like what about Christian nationalism? What are the like objective

158
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: like points into executing Christian nationalism? And not that I

159
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: want that, but it's just like it's a lot of

160
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: talk of like a theory, I guess, versus like an

161
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: actionable to do list of what does this viewpoint stem

162
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: into actual items to fix sexual morality, school shootings, crime, whatever.

163
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: And then also from the other side of it as

164
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: someone who came from a very Christian nationalist area a k.

165
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: Texas a ka bai the university. Um, nothing more did

166
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: I see was sex crimes in those areas. Uh So

167
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't know the darkest things I've ever like darkest

168
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: places I've ever been, or like any place where there's

169
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: like mandated official Christian morality, like I've talked plenty of

170
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: times about like the uh Fellowship of Christian Athletes were

171
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: it was like a pickup game that I used to

172
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: go to when I was remember my school. Yeah, and

173
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: then but then you had to basically go after fter

174
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: you played in the game, you had to go listen

175
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: to somebody give a speech. It was like an a

176
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: meeting for like Baptist Christianity happened. I mean I was

177
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: never in f c A, but I did know that,

178
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: like that was a thing. But it was like real

179
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: dark ship. Like I still am like shaken by some

180
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: of the ship that I heard people quote testify about. Well,

181
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: the good news is though, like we have noticed that

182
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: none of these shooters are pete Christians who grew up

183
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: in Christian household So uh yeah, she's onto something there.

184
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: It's all just it's it's madness. It's just a way

185
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: for her to say we want fascist white supremacy without

186
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: explicitly saying that. But she can do a hell of

187
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: a pull up, a pull up unlike I've seen any

188
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: other human body do. Pizza Hut. People are like mad

189
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: at Pizza Hut because I don't know, they're like and

190
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: it's woke or something. Uh, you woke pizza Hut. Let's

191
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: just talk about there. There's a trend I've noticed of

192
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: a couple of people pointing out like things that our

193
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: brands had wrong because of they always happen in movies

194
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: even though they don't happen in reality. Uh. There's someone

195
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: named Ryan North, supervillain consultant, who said sounds sounds which

196
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: always exist in movies but not I r l Um,

197
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: when lights turn off in a stadium, the big chunk effect. Yeah,

198
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: that that I've heard that happen though, like the let

199
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: when you turn lights off in a stadium, there is

200
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: a loud like powering Yeah, and you're also in a

201
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: closed a closed environment, So I think that one might

202
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: actually be wrong. Um, when power goes off in a

203
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: city and there's powering down sound as you watch various

204
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: senses that you go to ark one by one. I

205
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: think that one is good obviously getting punched. Uh and

206
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: he described as a wet smack And it doesn't sound

207
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: like that. MC front a lot tweeted brief microphone feedback

208
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: caused by the nervousness of the person about to speak,

209
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: which was, yeah, yeah, the sound of a silenced gun

210
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: being like and real silence guns sound like gun shots

211
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: just slightly less loud, but like there's just like less

212
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: deafening gun shots. Is what a silenced gun sounds like?

213
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: That that is wholly embedded by movies. I love these

214
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: image comparisons we have. Yeah. Yeah, So the second, like,

215
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: the reason I spotted a spotted this is a trend

216
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: is because there's another really good one where somebody pointed out,

217
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: like how shows portrayed bullies growing up versus bullies in

218
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: real life and the bullies growing from TV shows have

219
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: black leather jacket and a red mohawk. K yeah, not true.

220
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: As someone who was an emo kid, the emo kids

221
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: don't bother anybody because we're so afraid. And then the

222
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: lays in real life are blonde Abercrombie wearing dudes and uh,

223
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: and I can attest to that absolutely. Um. This reminds

224
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: me of an article that the Great David Bell wrote

225
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: back when we're both at Cracked, where he pointed out,

226
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: like a lot of countries, a lot of parts of

227
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: the world we have completely wrong, Like I cannot picture

228
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Russia as anything other than a like snowy, blustering Siberian

229
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: wasteland um and in things, it's literally that like it is.

230
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: And like so he put in the article, like a

231
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: picture that looks like it's a central park and it's like, no,

232
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: actually that's Moscow. Moscow and New York are basically similar climates. Yeah,

233
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: that image is crazy because I like the first time

234
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: I ever saw like a humanized Russia was when I watched, um,

235
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: what was that chess um show on Netflix? That was

236
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: really big Queen's Gambit. Queen's Gambit. Yeah, at the end

237
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: she goes intoes a tournament in Russia, and then like

238
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the tournament, she like goes and

239
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: she does like plays chess with some elderly men in

240
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: the park for fun, And I was like, whoa wait,

241
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Russia isn't she walked to Italy. Well, this can't be right.

242
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: She's outside and not in a fur hat Um. Pyramids

243
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: of Giza are not at an abandoned location in the desert.

244
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: They are like actually right next to a very busy

245
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: part of Egypt, like a very busy city. There's a

246
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: KFC within eyesight of the Pyramids of Giza. Mexico is

247
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: not exclusively yellow, it turns out Um pointed out that

248
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: was also something David pointed out, and David Bell pointed

249
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,479
Speaker 1: out in his correct article. I feel like Mexico exclusively

250
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: appears in movies as dusty and yellow, and like everything

251
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: is like you know that mud hut stuck in like

252
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: eighteen whatever. Yeah, and it has like a burgeoning tech sector,

253
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: and it's like we, I think, have a tendency we

254
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: want to lump other parts of the world into like

255
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: desert planet, ocean planet, ice planet categories the way we

256
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: do in our sci fi movies, Like we only have

257
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: the ability to, you know, hold one image in our mind.

258
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: But that probably also helps people in the US maintainer

259
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: are like very dismissive view of the rest of the world.

260
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Probably not great, probably not the the best strategy, So

261
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: try harder movies, I guess the more like the Queen's Gambit.

262
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: How many times do I have to tell you? All right? Well, Becca,
