Also National Gardening Exercise Day, 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: which I think falls in the genre of days created 13 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: by and for the elderly. It's like gardening is exercise too. 14 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: Most of the you garden recently. Hey, I just want 15 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: to say a lot of effort things. A. No, it's work, 16 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: it's work. I didn't realize idea. I guess I didn't 17 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: realize that it was like fighting for recognition as exercise 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: is probably like seems like in my experience, gardening is 19 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: the amount of exercise that it seems like it would be. 20 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: But that's I'm happy it has a day, and I'm 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: happy we're celebrating it. Also importantly, at the end of 22 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: last week, Mercury was officially out of retrograde. This is 23 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: the sort of thing that now that I've been in 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: l A for a dozen years, I I know what 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: that means. And I have to say, this is the 26 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: first like astrological event I've been aware of as it 27 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: was happening. Everything has always had my brain as just 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: and and just bounced off, And this time I was like, man, 29 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: they might be onto something. What the fund is happening? 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: What is happening with everybody? I know? Mergy and retrograde 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: is supposed to be about, you know, lack of communication 32 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: and everybody being misunderstanding and misunderstood, and I feel like 33 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: I feel like I was seeing a lot of that 34 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: and now everything's just gonna iron itself out right. This 35 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: is the technical difficulties were in abundance. Hopefully you took 36 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: a minute to reflect. You're not supposed to do anything 37 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: or you're here. You're not supposed to be manifesting. Don't 38 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: plan no trips, don't get excited for ship. You just 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: sit down, you reflect on your life for three weeks 40 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: and then it's out. Hopefully you learned the lesson from 41 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: whatever hard bullshit you had to go through, and now 42 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: you're on the other side of that lesson and you 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: can make better choices, and hopefully the pathways of communication 44 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: are much clearer. Your guys are clear, y'all, you're better 45 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: off to move forward. Now I can once again manifest.

I was just about 125 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: to google, like, what's he up to? Has he dropped anything? 126 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: Like does he have a mixtape? Down? All right, Emily, 127 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better 128 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a 129 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about, 130 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, I googled what really causes inflation because I 131 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: wanted to see if anybody was talking about the real 132 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: cause there there's also this article about oil executives cashing 133 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: out because like selling off their stock because they're like, 134 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: we just got away with like almost literal murder, and 135 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: so I wanted to see if anybody was like connecting 136 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: the two and they're not. So, so we're gonna talk 137 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: about that, and then it's gonna be just a lighthearted show. 138 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: I think from that point forward, we're gonna talk about 139 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: Netflix's attempts to crack down on password sharing. Maybe that's 140 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: not that lighthearted, that kind of that kind of it's 141 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: and it's like just bureaucratic. It seems like what they 142 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: were doing was trying to make a large bureaucratic decision 143 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: and operation while Mercury was in retrograde, and they should 144 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: have talked to my good friend Joel Monique. But before 145 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: any of it, Emily, we do like to ask our guest, 146 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Okay, so yesterday 147 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 1: I searched.

Yes, 152 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: definitely have heard that. I thought it was a Hawaiian fish. 153 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: I thought there was a Hawaiian fish that had the 154 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: longest name. That was the one that I always heard. 155 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: Do you remember what it was? No?

It's not. And it's 161 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: not Hawaiian fish. It is it's a supposed lung disease, 162 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: which I don't know what that means, but we'll just 163 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: go with lung disease.

It's and apparently it's happening, not just in California, 233 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: so watch out people, but I did I recently. I 234 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: was at a bar last week and I said, I'm 235 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: so sorry, but those things are disgusting, and the guy 236 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: said I know.

But it's a trend that I am very 241 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: sad about.

But no, 243 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm just not you're wasting your time. That is considered 244 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: time off task, which is the term we learned in 245 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: our last episode, which is how I Amazon defines anytime 246 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: you spend talking to a coworker. Yeah what yeah, yeah, yeah, 247 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: they have like trackers on you and if you and 248 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: and then at the end of the day, okay, you 249 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: lugged one hour of time off task.

There's because they really 252 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: do feel like they own you. That is what that's like. 253 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: When they're like, do not use the bathroom after you've 254 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: just clocked in, sir, I just spent an hour and 255 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: a half getting here. Okay, I'm gonna use the restroom 256 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: on the clock. Please leave me the hell alone. What 257 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: are you talking about? People are terrible, that's awful. They're 258 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: not just high the robots already, Like we can't be robots, 259 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: we're people, stupid. I mean, I wish I could save 260 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: all my poops for work, but you know, bodies don't 261 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: work that way. Like we're not we're not holding it, 262 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, save all your poops for work. That as 263 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: a mild as a mild form of protesting the machine 264 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: for work. If you're pooping at home, you're not doing 265 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: it right. Yeah, agreed. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Frito's? 266 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: I feel like I've been going to a lot of 267 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: outdoor activities, beach, the park stuff, and you get that 268 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: big variety pack and no one ever goes for the Fritos. 269 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: And just like I always picked the yellow game piece 270 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: when I'm playing board games because no one picks it, 271 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: I just take it to be like fine. And I 272 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: realized recently that I actually love Fritos and I don't 273 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: get why they aren't incredible as popular as Dorito's. Okay, 274 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: so let's talk about it. Why are friedo is not 275 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: as popular as to Rito's That we're we're talking about 276 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: just the straightforward thick corn that are the size of fingernails. 277 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: Is that there and that's that's kind of how like. 278 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: I think that's part of the problem. I think Doritos have, 279 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, the flavor dusting, which I think is delightful fritos. 280 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: Of course they're not going to get your fingers all 281 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: stained and gross and make it hard to get away 282 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: with a crime. But I think I think more most 283 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: importantly is they're too small for dipping. Like they I 284 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: think there are fritos that are a little bit bigger, 285 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: and maybe original fritos were bigger, but they have shrunk 286 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: them down to a size that they are a plain 287 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: corn chip that is too small for dipping. And that 288 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: is my primary purpose when I'm what I'm purchasing, picking 289 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: up and using a plain corn ship. But you're not 290 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: dipping Derrito's. Yeah, yeah, are you okay with this? Okay, 291 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: here's a stunnard. I don't like either. If I was 292 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: going to say what the issue was, I instead of 293 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: looking at the product, because I haven't tasted either, or 294 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: haven't in a very long time, I would say it's branding. 295 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: Dorito's really went for the children. An essential part of 296 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: a child's youth was like Dorrito's, like they have a 297 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: cool nineties logos, and they got like the holographic like 298 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: front portion of the bag. It's like blue and bright colors. 299 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: I really think they were like, we're gonna be the 300 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: child's chip, and Frito's was like, adults love us, and 301 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: that's good enough. They have purchasing power. Um, But now 302 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: the children have become adults and they prefer Dorito's. And 303 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: there are many flavors, but I come from like work 304 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: from Illinois, Emily and the land of the Walking Taco, 305 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: where you would like cut a Frito's bag open, But 306 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: now I'm seeing people do it with Doritos. I really do. 307 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: I feel you that the tide is changing, and I 308 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: think to Dorito's has come out superior. Oh I do 309 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: remember when I lived in New York, Frito pie was 310 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: the thing and it was just chilly dumped into a 311 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: bag of Frito's. Yeah, beat that's great and that, But 312 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: now that you mention it, that does sound better with Dorrito's. 313 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: I actually do like to use a nacho cheese Dorrito 314 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: with my favorite salsa. Green Mountain Greno medium is my 315 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: favorite salsa, and I think I think they pair delightfully. 316 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: So it's like a pico based it's green, it's like avocados. 317 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: What's happening in there? No, no, no, the name of 318 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: the company's Green Mountains. It's just a it's just a 319 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: nice tomato salsa with chunks of tomato, kind of vinegary 320 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: not not everybody says into it as me, that is 321 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: just my personal favorite salsa. But then the dust on 322 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: the dorrito gets all wet, like saggy dust is yucky. No, 323 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: I know you're right, but people love it. It's like 324 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: when Van Luin is made. There um like flipta mac 325 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: and cheese ice cream I think it was, or was 326 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: it craft It was craft craft mac and cheese ice cream, 327 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: and it was all the powdered ship that you put 328 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: on in the macaroni when it's cooking. They're like, what 329 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: if we just put that in ice team and people 330 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: were like, God, yes, injected into my veins. I don't 331 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: understand why we're into powdered foods. Perfect good it is. 332 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: It is definitely messire gets your fingers all orange while 333 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: you're doing the salsa dorrito combination. It's still it's like 334 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: the rub is worth it for me, you know, having 335 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: the dorrito rub on my fingers is worth it for 336 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: meat and on your pants. Yeah, it's right. Assume everyone 337 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: starts just wiping their fair like I can't get it 338 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: off pants and all my pants are orange in tinted. Yeah. 339 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: I respect it, but I don't like it in the 340 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: same way like a Doritos now has what the Dorrito's 341 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: taco at Taco Bell Oh Jack, Oh no wait, I 342 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: was gonna say this is your corner of the love it. 343 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: I think it was great. People loved it when it 344 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: first came out. Now people are kind of backing off. 345 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: I haven't had it in in a while, so maybe they 346 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: like changed it and like kind of cheaped it up 347 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. But after you give us an updated report, 348 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: so tact it can't be good. It's dusty when you're 349 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: holding it. It's dusty. The taco is dusty. They give 350 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: you a nice sleeve, which which is helpful, you know, 351 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: is helpful of all hard shell tacos, but in particular 352 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: this one, it's a mess. It's it's definitely a mess. 353 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: I feel you on like the them being preferable, preferable. 354 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: I love a corn chip, but I want to be 355 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: able to dip a corn ship and Friedo's feel too 356 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: small to get a chunky salsa dip going personally fair, 357 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: and I think I did I did do a missed 358 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: up in in comparing and saying it has to be 359 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: Friedo's or Doritos, because I do enjoy a dorito, not dipped, 360 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: but Friedo's they got a kick to a man. I know, 361 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: we got like three Midwesterners here, um, and maybe that's 362 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: just the Midwest talking. I'm like, oh this may I 363 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: was spicy. Um, but I feel like you're I feel 364 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: like Frito's got a little more flavor than you think 365 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: or something. And then you're like, oh, wow, you've really 366 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: self contained magic here, clean fingers. Anyway, I like to 367 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: use miracle whip on someone sandwich and like, waggle my 368 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: eyebrows a little bit, like, huh, we're going crazy. So 369 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: we're really putting in work now, we're going off the 370 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: map today. Get ready for a little tang. Yeah. I 371 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: spent a lot of my life and in the Midwest, 372 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: and I'm a fan of all of these things. They 373 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: also they have like the chili chili fritos, which are 374 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: I go back and forth on the chili powdered dust 375 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: of fritos there that you need to have have them 376 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: in the right situation. They're situational. Yeah, the snack chip, 377 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: I feel like I like a classic blue corn chip. 378 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: That's where I'm at. Impeach salsa m h. Not branched specific. 379 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: It's kind of sweet and kind of thing even perfect. 380 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: That's uh like dream snacks. Dream snacks a good name 381 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: of the podcast. Alright, cut that we're gonna green light 382 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: that during the ad and we'll come back and maybe 383 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: that'll just be what this show is. All right, we'll 384 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: be right back and we'd back and we talked to 385 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: the end of last week that like you know that 386 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: there is a genre of article that's like, come on, man, 387 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: why can't Biden catch a break? That is just everywhere 388 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: in the news. And the one Biden problem that mainstream 389 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: news outlets seem to agree on is the at inflation 390 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: is bad and it was caused by giving giving people 391 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: money during the pandemic. Like that seems to be what 392 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: everybody's just settled with the decision to send money to 393 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: Americans during global pandemic and now we're all paying the price. 394 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: Except that's like not like most most of the people 395 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: who are like sending that messaging out our corporations and 396 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: like libertarian publications, and then when you look at the 397 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: actual like events that are happening, the things that are 398 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: being done by the people who have the power in 399 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: our country, which is the corporations. Like I do, feel 400 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: like oil executives have as much, if not more power 401 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: than the president, as the story evidences they are. What 402 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: they've done is they've raised the prices because they like money. 403 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: Seems to be like that. That seems to be the 404 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: cause of at least inflation on gas prices. And you know, 405 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: we we've all just bought the story that now, well 406 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: it's the war, and it's we have too much money. 407 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: We're sorry, sir, we have too much money from these 408 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: stimulus payments. And so this article caught my eye in 409 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: the context of that. They said gas gas prices, this 410 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: saying Yahoo, which is not my only source of news, 411 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: just go to Yahoo, and I'm like, there they got 412 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: me covered. They said gas price of skyrocketed. The record 413 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: has forcing some families to choose between filling their tank 414 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: putting food on the table. But for the oil execs 415 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: whose stockholdings have soared, these are happy days. Some of 416 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: them are cashing in their shares at unusually high rates. 417 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: Among four senior executives at PBF Energy, they have sold 418 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: nine million dollars worth of stock. We've also got Chevron, 419 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: the e v P. James Johnson has sold more than 420 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: fifty six million dollars in stock so far this year, 421 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: which the like, so what are they just like backing 422 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: out because you know everything is so bad? Actually no, 423 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: things are really good. Chevron's net income more than quadrupled 424 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: compared to the same period the prior year. That is 425 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: not something that happens in like for for companies just 426 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: in general, quadrupling your net income. And this is when 427 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: like prices have risen and everybody is blaming like greedy 428 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: government or circumstances or us being sent those checks for 429 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars like that. That is essentially what I 430 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: feel like the public consciousness has settled on. Like when 431 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: you google what's the real cause of inflation, you just 432 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: get an endless list of like people will being like 433 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: government greed caused inflation for the record, and you know, 434 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: articles from Reason magazine with Joe Biden like look looking 435 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: very stupid, like just the word picture they could find 436 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: on getty. Politicians cause real pain with inflationary policies and 437 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: it's like, well, corporations have just realized they can raise 438 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: prices without like that is the one policy that I 439 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: think is causing this is that there is no pushback. 440 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: There's no regulation on massive corporations. They have all all 441 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: the say and what they say is like like you 442 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: got I know you guys like money. I know it's 443 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: useful to to you guys, but like we oh man, 444 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: we're we really like money, and so we're going to 445 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: take yours. This is essentially what is happening. Yeah, the 446 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: I think the American idealism of self sufficiency has started 447 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: to impact us in such a negative way that it's 448 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: we actually have to confront it at this point. This 449 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: in the same way that like we saw with the 450 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: formula shortage just prest future baby then like, okay, let 451 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: me tell you how things work on this side of reality, 452 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Like not every mom can breastfeed, not every baby has 453 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: a mother in their life. Currently, some people are being 454 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: raised by two fathers, Like there are a jillion reasons 455 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: why people cannot breastfeed, and like babies need food, and 456 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, well you should have thought of that 457 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: ahead of time, as if this is somehow some moral 458 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: failing in the same way that you know, if an 459 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: unprecedented pandemic hits in our government decides to try to 460 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: help sustain its population through it, suddenly that's become a negative. 461 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: And they gave us so little money, so little and 462 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: and that very little bit made a huge difference in 463 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: a lot of people's lives, right like that For some 464 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 1: people that was a ton of money that were they 465 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: were able to make important shifts and decisions about their lives. 466 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: And so the idea that somehow helping a corporation could 467 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: ever be better or a better use of finances than 468 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: giving directly to the people, I st I just can't 469 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: wrap my head around it. Like I think about this 470 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: a lot, like you said, my idle time of like 471 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: why don't we want to help the individual people that 472 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: make up our entire society as opposed to corporations that 473 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: show no need you know, as you know, we're gonna 474 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: talk about Netflix later, but you know, Netflix just fired 475 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: all to be brought in. They were like, sorry, it 476 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: got a little scary. So we have to let all 477 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: these people that we forced to move across the country, 478 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, to help build our brands and speak to 479 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: the people. Were hoping to engage with our content. We 480 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: have to fire you now and hopefully you'll enjoy the 481 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: like very basic, mundane stuff that we make from now 482 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: on because we're gonna stick with what's safe. I don't understand, Um, 483 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: I can't cantrap my mind around it. Yeah, the broader 484 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: industry uptick is fueled in part by surging demand, which 485 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how like surging from what like we're 486 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: were driving at all. Yeah, I feel like demand's been 487 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: pretty steady, like the fact that the pandemic is slowing down, 488 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: so it's surging back to the previous levels. Inflation, which 489 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: as we just mentioned, is them raising prices so that 490 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: they have record profits at the level of quadrupling year 491 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: over year, and the war in Ukraine, like those are 492 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: the things that are good for their business. So I 493 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: don't know. If I didn't know any better, i'd say 494 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: we're not all in this together, as the BP commercial 495 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: said during the pandemic. The I'd say, the executives benefit 496 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: when they make us pay more, and they benefit when 497 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: there is a war on and that's probably not great 498 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: because they're the most powerful people in the country up 499 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: to and possibly including the president. Like that's that's why 500 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: Biden sounds like why we're we're in a new era 501 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: where the president comes on and it's like, man, like 502 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, would you do something. It's like I 503 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: thought you were the president. But it's like, yeah, the 504 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: president doesn't really have the ability to do anything anymore 505 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: because corporations make like you can't upset the corporation. I 506 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: love We're all in this together as a commercial during 507 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: the pandemic when no one was driving. Now then it's 508 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: like it's like please please, Yeah, it's an abusive relationship. 509 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: Do I love you, we want you, You're our heroes. 510 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: And then yeah, but like that, even there's a New 511 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: York Times, So I was doing this kind of as 512 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: an experiment the search for the real cause of inflation 513 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: on Google. Ten articles down there is a New York 514 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: Times of hang in Peace from a Democratic leader that 515 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: calls for the government to like, you know, preemptively by 516 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: goods distribute them on a need basis to deal with inflation. 517 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: But he has to like specifically say his plan avoids 518 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: violating market dynamics. He doesn't once mention the idea that 519 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: executives using the narrative of inflation to raise prices and 520 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: make more money just arbitrarily than ever before. Like that 521 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: those are causes like you you aren't allowed to say that, 522 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean Joel, you you said you've been 523 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: thinking about this a lot. I feel like everybody has 524 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: been thinking about this a lot, and it kind of 525 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: makes you feel crazy when you see, like very clearly 526 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: what's going on, and like nobody is allowed to say 527 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: it's I think that's why you're seeing a surge in unions, 528 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: like there's Yeah, I really feel like there is a 529 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: strong workers movement launching that is saying, you know, if 530 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: our government can't protect us, and if these mega corporations 531 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: we work for have no interest in protecting us physically, mentally, spiritually, 532 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: have financially, and then we're gonna have to set up 533 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: parameters so that these things can happen ourselves. And it's 534 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: been interesting to see the amount of money corporations are 535 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: bend to not give what would can probably be considerably 536 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: a lot less money just to meet demands over the long. 537 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: Like I can't remember the dollar amount Amazon spent trying 538 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: to crush their union force, but I was like, you 539 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: could have just given that to the workers and they 540 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: probably would been thrilled, been like that's amazing, thank you, 541 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: We'll leave you alone now. Um. So, I don't know, 542 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: I'm excited as we see more and more corporations start 543 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: to have to answer to their employees, and maybe there's 544 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: some hope in that direction. But I do think we 545 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: also need to see that kind of reform, deep reform 546 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: within our government because this system is not working. And 547 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: like not to get to heavy into everything, but like 548 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: what these judges are trying to pull right now, these 549 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: are Preme Court judges is Oh, it's so scary, it's 550 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: really frightening. Yeah, And and like the you know, in 551 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: the in the mid term primaries, we are also seeing 552 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: that like the very mainstream like when it's sort of 553 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: a choice between kind of equally funded candidates and there 554 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: is the mainstream Democratic option like Connor Lamb and then 555 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: like a somebody who just like has some of the 556 00:32:54,680 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 1: same opinions as Bernie Sanders, like John Fetterman, like the 557 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: people want they they see what's going on, Like people 558 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: see it, and like just because you weren't like the 559 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: mainstream Democratic Party is not saying it, it doesn't mean 560 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: like they're they're going to go elsewhere it's just a 561 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: matter of whether they're going to go with the fascists 562 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: or whether like we're going to have a option that 563 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: is a less like corporate corporate and market controlled democratic option. 564 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not hopeful. Now. It's going to have 565 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,479 Speaker 1: to get a lot worse for the Democratic Party before 566 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: it gets better. But for us as a people, we 567 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,719 Speaker 1: live for comfort. I I certainly do, and you know, 568 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of comfort being brought by a lot 569 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: of evil corporations making life day to day easier until 570 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: we can dive like the world divest the invest Yeah, 571 00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: I think there you go. Okay, perfect doesn't mean dictionary 572 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: folks will correct me, and I appreciate it in advance, 573 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: but we can divest from systems like that. I think 574 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: that we're going to continue to be stuck in sort 575 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: of this pushing pull situation and it's hard to divest. 576 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: So actually the correct word is forty three letters along. 577 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: I feel like we're all little mini bidens in in here, 578 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: because it's like, yeah, like we're between a rock and 579 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: a hard place. We you know, you have to We're 580 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: in a capitalist system and we're making it work by 581 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: saying like, oh, Amazon sucks, and then like I'm gonna 582 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: buy my little snuggy on Amazon and um, and I 583 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: feel like he, I mean, we're just in we're like stalled, 584 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: right because we can't change our lives that quickly because 585 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: we don't know how. And it's confusing, and so is he, 586 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, like he can't. He can't, he can't be 587 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: like I'm not a capitalist anymore, like you know what 588 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: I mean, Like he can't just do that one day. 589 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: I mean, he just women's right. It's like it's he's 590 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: like it will slow down. It's happening fast. Yeah, I 591 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: would see that as a as a people, at least 592 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: from my point of view. In l A like it 593 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: seems we're in a transitional period. You know, we're seeing 594 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: a lot of what we saw and I would say 595 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: it fairly seventies and mid eighties where you're seeing like 596 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: a lot of white flight from cities you're seeing, but 597 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 1: also at the same time, like a lot of gentrifications 598 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: of old places and a lot of places I haven't 599 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: gotten the same kind of attention to detail are starting 600 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: to fall further off. I think we're seeing a rising 601 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 1: and workers rights, but we're also seeing a shift in 602 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 1: like how how do we get more into like mutual 603 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: aids and mutual funds and supporting our communities. And so 604 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: I think I feel I can say every time I'm 605 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: on here, but like investing in mutual aids and into 606 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: your community and figuring out how you can get involved 607 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: on that level. I think it's a small amount of 608 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: change because we're all just people with very busy lives 609 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: and children and stuff. When we all don't have time 610 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: to be here is um or don't want to be. 611 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: And I don't think everyone should have to be called 612 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: upon to be like the biggest and best person they 613 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: can be every single day. That's exhausting. But I do 614 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: think that a lot of folks are trying to make 615 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: small incremental changes to make a larger change. And I'm 616 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: I have hope in that, even though it's incredibly slow, 617 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: I have hope that if if we can do that, 618 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: then maybe things look at a little better. Yeah, capitalism 619 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: never sleeps, man, It is really what a beast monster. Yeah, 620 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 1: I do like I have some hope that once people 621 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: were recognize that, like, there needs to be some other 622 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: way that we're not all just gonna tuck into a 623 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: nice like you know, two decades of fascism like we 624 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: did in the eighties. But it depends on how good 625 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: the top gun movies are. God, did you see it, 626 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: by the way, Joel, Of course I did. And it's fun, right, 627 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 1: Oh God, it's so much fun. It's terrible how much 628 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: fun it is. For like six different reasons. I really 629 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: wanted to be able to walk out and be like, no, awful, 630 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: but you really feel like you're flying in a jet man. 631 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: It's We saw it on Imax with the surround sound. 632 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: My seat was roum blood and I was like yes. 633 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: And then they make the very smart move of not 634 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: making the villain anyone. They're like, nondescript location. Everyone in 635 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: mass there's some ocean in some mountains. Where could we 636 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 1: be We don't know, but they're evil and we gotta win. 637 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I see it, and I'm 638 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: enjoying it, and I can really get out of the 639 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 1: headspace of like, who are they telling us evil? Because 640 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: technically no one maybe everyone. I just it's so much fun. 641 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: It is a really well constructed movie that I just 642 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: hope people remember. Is uh not an accurate depiction of 643 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: war or what that system of military is like?

Don't let it recruit you guys. 645 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: It's just a movie, is what I say to the 646 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: young people, or what women in their fifties should look like. Okay, 647 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,479 Speaker 1: she's so pretty though, I know, really she really kept 648 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 1: it together. Yeah, it is a good movie. Though, don't 649 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: talk to the guy in the navy uniform next to 650 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: the popcorn. Just that they are legit doing that. They're 651 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: not gonna miss an opportunity. All right, let's take a 652 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come back and talk about bullshit and 653 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: we're back. So Netflix has promised investors that they're done 654 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: fucking around with these customers. They're coming for our password sharing. 655 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: More than thirty million US and Canadian households are using 656 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: a shared password. Seems like a lot. So one of 657 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: one of the things that they're doing in Peru where 658 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: they are like, so they've decided, all right, we're going 659 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: to test out some of the like password sharing police 660 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,240 Speaker 1: tactics in some small market so that we can abuse 661 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: people and not get like the backlash. So they're they've 662 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: tried it in Peru, and the way they're doing it 663 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: is if you have somebody outside of your household using 664 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: your same account, they will add two dollars a month 665 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: to your account, So I mean that would be sixty 666 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: million if thirty million people in the US and Canada 667 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: are sharing it, which what could produce a whole entire 668 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 1: two episodes of Stranger Things, which is exciting. But I 669 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: don't know, It's just it sounds truly like a Mercury 670 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: and retroade operation. Like they weren't They didn't define the 671 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: things that they were going to do. They also haven't 672 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: told people who are getting charged, like what they're being 673 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: charged for or what the what the rules are like, 674 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 1: and it's real. It's a real bad face. Like Netflix, 675 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: what really prided itself on being like the cool guys there. 676 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: They they had a tweet from like the Netflix account, 677 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: like in support of the that TV show Love, which 678 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: it should be noted, is explicitly the type of show 679 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: Netflix will no longer be making. But they tweeted Love 680 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: is sharing a password to promote that show. So I think, okay, 681 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: so social media is not going to be in line 682 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: with what business strategy is for the company. So I 683 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 1: get that they were like, oh, you know, you share, 684 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: so like leading to the social side of it. I 685 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: do think it's horrible that they're not telling people what 686 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: they're like. You could very easily set up an alert 687 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: to say, like, hey, someone outside of your household, which 688 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm guessing they're basing off of Internet, you're not on 689 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: the same WiFi. Yeah, exactly, Okay, so they're okay, so 690 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: someone from outside of network is using it. Two extra dollars. 691 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: Here's why they should do that. Immediately, stick to that 692 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: plan if you if you have to, if you have 693 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: to charge more, if you have to make it so 694 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: that people one, I'll listen. I'll hit my big because 695 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 1: enough and be like, I need you dollars so you 696 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: keep running this account. But also if I can then 697 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: use my um what do you call that thing when 698 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: you're trying to search secretly in different countries? Yes, can 699 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: I use my VPN because I want to get the 700 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: shows that are available in London but not here? Okay, 701 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: I want all access Netflix that used to be back 702 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: before they started caring about VPNs. That was everything. You 703 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: want to give me back, I'll pay five extra dollars, 704 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: I'll say, right here, Netflix, five extra dollars if I 705 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: can use my VPN on your service, It totally makes sense. 706 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: Eight five dollars is not going to crush me. It'll 707 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: give access to other people. I don't know how many 708 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: people have my Netflix password. Please keep using it. I 709 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: have no problem with it. People have to share. There's 710 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: too many streaming services, and I think you run the 711 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: risk potentially of losing a lot more customers long term 712 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: if you don't figure out an easily affordable situation then 713 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,800 Speaker 1: just by like forcing people to buy the subscription. Because 714 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 1: let's be real, Netflix, most of your prestige shows are over, 715 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: You've ended them, and the shows that people wanted you 716 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: to invest in you canceled after two seasons. So now 717 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: you're in this weird place of every major studio has 718 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: their own production, like your own streaming service, So it 719 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense for them to come to Netflix anymore 720 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: unless their streaming service is very low in the bucket 721 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: and they're hoping to get more eyes on their property. 722 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 1: Most people are just going to go to their hbos, 723 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,720 Speaker 1: your Disney pluses, whatever they have to create more distinct content. 724 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you guys heard the other 725 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: day they called which project, Oh, the Irishman a vanity project. 726 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: They called the Irishman a vanity project, which someone should 727 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 1: slap you. Okay, this man is single handedly out here 728 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: trying to save film. Okay, real quick. We did talk 729 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: about this on the Showjule. Did you know that that 730 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: movie cost a hundred and seventy five million dollars? Yes? 731 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: I did. It was too expensive. If you make an 732 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: eight year old look like an eighteen year old, it's 733 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: gonna cost money. Okay, it's excessively expensive, but it's Martin 734 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: Scorsese again, the man actively try trying to preserve film. 735 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: And on top of that, like that was a conversation 736 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: for forever. We talked about The Irishman much longer than 737 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: we talked about most shows or movies that come out. 738 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: I want to say, at least three months, people being like, oh, guy, 739 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: could he looked like a stiff, ab year rold trying 740 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: to walk in an eighteen year old space. It's weird 741 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: people talked about, you know. Then once there was like 742 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: a critical analysis of you know, is this film actively 743 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: engaging with Scorsi's former picks or it's just more of 744 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: an older guy looking back on his own individual life. 745 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: And and there's just so many discussions around I think 746 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,240 Speaker 1: that's exactly the type of content Netflix should be courting, 747 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: because if we're not, you're not advertising, so you don't 748 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: have to worry about advertisers. You've already got a very 749 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: basic rate system in there where children can go to 750 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: one place and there's all the other shows on another spot, 751 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about censoring yourself, and 752 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: you're not held responsible to anyone but Netflix. It seems 753 00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 1: cowardly to me to react so intensely to I think 754 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: it should have been planned for. You. Guys got a 755 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: lot of viewers when we were in a pandemic because 756 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: children were at home, and we cannot directly engaged with 757 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: that children, is what I was saying. You can't directly 758 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: engage with children. They need TV please distract them. But 759 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: of course I don't want people start going outside. You 760 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: know that's gonna fall off. I think it's such a 761 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: weird gut reaction to say we're just tossing out all 762 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: of these incredible writers that we hired and brought in 763 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: to be to bring in these new audiences. I mean, 764 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: they just held like a golden ball, which was a 765 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: celebration of Asian American representation in America, and half the 766 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 1: people that are part of that team got canned, So 767 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think a need direk 768 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: reaction shows fear, and I think it also shows that 769 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: you don't have a great plan in place. The only 770 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: thing left on Netflix that I really want to watch 771 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: is um Uh, I will watch That is on Nickelodeon 772 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: has an app I can check out. Okay, they got Paramount, 773 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: it's right there. Planted any steps to wax, but also 774 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: please go watch that girl late. But also you know 775 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,479 Speaker 1: they've got heart Stoppers as a Netflix project, that's really great. 776 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 1: It's queer, why a romance, It's done beautifully. I love it. 777 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: Sex Education is great, and then the last season of 778 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,479 Speaker 1: Stranger Things. We're running low on content Netflix. You gotta 779 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: get some great shows because Emily embarrass isn't gonna keep 780 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: No one's paying for TLC. That's just in a package 781 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: that just comes with a bunch of other channels, and 782 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: you're like, I'll watch it if I have time. They 783 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 1: have to have to have to invest in artists because 784 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: it's what the big studios aren't doing. The big studios 785 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: are investing in major properties that are going to continue 786 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: to bring people back to theaters because that's what people 787 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: want to spend If you have to spend money for 788 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: a ticket, you want a big production, like a top gun, 789 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: like any of your Marvel movies. I think for Netflix 790 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,800 Speaker 1: to not invest in artists in really individual, unique projects 791 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: is going to be a terrible move. I can't see 792 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: it working. Yeah, the people at the top making these 793 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 1: decisions are beholden to Wall Street and people who read 794 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: about Wall Street and uh, the investors in that community. 795 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 1: The people who are in the middle and below are 796 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 1: beholding the customers and like you see that split with 797 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: like that they're a customer representatives who say that they're 798 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: confused about what the hell they're supposed to tell subscribers 799 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: who quality call in and ask like, okay, so what 800 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 1: is what is the policy? They're also like doing things 801 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: that are going to get them in trouble with consumer 802 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: protection agencies and other countries, not in America because America 803 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: doesn't have any functional consumer protections, but you know, they're 804 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: discriminating against users arbitrarily because there just choosing to enforce 805 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: this policy in some places and not others. But it's 806 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: also the like an underrated stress cause of stress in 807 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 1: the modern world is that we created these companies with 808 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 1: like hundreds of billions of dollars of like Wall Street valuations, 809 00:46:54,960 --> 00:47:00,080 Speaker 1: and they serve you know, billions of people are on 810 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,879 Speaker 1: the world and they have they're not staffed to do that. 811 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: And so anytime something comes up, like with Facebook causing 812 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 1: genocides and other countries, or with Netflix having to have 813 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: a customer facing process for like policing how people use 814 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 1: their products, they are completely at a loss. They're completely 815 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,399 Speaker 1: not equipped to do that sort of thing. And Yeah, 816 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: there's just so much bloat in terms of like what 817 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: companies aim to do and what companies actually functionally do 818 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: do with technology, and then their actual ability to like 819 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: rein that in when there are problems, and they're going 820 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,879 Speaker 1: to be problems because your customer basis needs to be 821 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: growing every single three months, quarter over quarter, or you 822 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: people start getting fired and you know, we have to 823 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: get off of this trade. I hate this, I really do. 824 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: I don't understand why a business can't just be sufficient. Yeah, 825 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: the idea that is like, oh, we haven't tripled our growth, 826 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: our former constomers are still here, We're still making money, 827 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: we can pay our staff and the lights are on. 828 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: I don't see the issue, and I don't see and 829 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: other things they don't want to invest in people. But 830 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: robots cannot solve these kinds of problems, like you can't, 831 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: or at least not yet, be like, oh, hey, there's 832 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 1: a lot of jenocide created by our content. To send 833 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 1: out the robot masses to start figuring out why that 834 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: is and build us a solution that's gonna take a 835 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: team of highly educated and qualified people to do, and 836 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: they're going to cost money. And I think what we're 837 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of is those people being sort of 838 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: way over taxed. Like I have a friend at Netflix 839 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: who's the only person left on her team, and at 840 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: least from our our preliminary conversations a few weeks ago, 841 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 1: none of the workload has left. So how did she 842 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 1: lose a team of five and still be expected to 843 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,320 Speaker 1: produce anywhere near the same kind of content? You just can't, 844 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I corporations are very exhausting in 845 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: their only their desire to make money, and I wish 846 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: we had more spaces that had a desire to just 847 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 1: be enough. It's like, there's enough money. Our staff is good, 848 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: our product is good, and that's what we do, and 849 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep doing that at a high level, and 850 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if we grow over like and more 851 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: people come in or like slightly fewer people come in, 852 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: because we like what we do and are still making 853 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,879 Speaker 1: so not yeah, sustainable. But this is so interesting because 854 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: it totally mirrors the first conversation we had about inflation, 855 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,760 Speaker 1: where it's like we something something bad is happening, and 856 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,879 Speaker 1: now we're going to make it the individual's faults, right, 857 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,320 Speaker 1: like it's it's our problem, where it's really a systemic 858 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 1: problem that needs to be solved. But that's too hard. 859 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: So instead of doing that, we'll just um tax the 860 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, we'll just put it on the individuals and 861 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: the users. And it's what needs to happen is something 862 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: needs to change with the way that we're watching TV, 863 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,439 Speaker 1: because it's ridiculous as a as a person who loves 864 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: her couch and her TV, like we need like I need, 865 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: I need. I can't even turn on my TV anymore. 866 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: I feel like my husband just comes in and he's like, 867 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 1: this is the remote we use now it's this week's remote, 868 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: and it goes to this machine and this is how 869 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 1: you get these three things. And I'm like okay, and 870 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 1: like that shouldn't be I'm smart enough person to turn 871 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: on my television and get my shows. But for some 872 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 1: reason I can't, you know what I mean, I do. 873 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 1: There are a lot of options, and I think it's 874 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 1: very interesting, especially when you compare it to like I 875 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 1: always try to compare the evolution of television to the 876 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: evolution of film, because I think they're very comparable. You know, 877 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 1: one film, it was initially sort of getting off of 878 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,280 Speaker 1: the ground. You had a lot of production companies also 879 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: be movie houses, right, so they were taking their own 880 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: films they produced and releasing him in their own theaters 881 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: and becoming like huge off of that money. Because you 882 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: don't have to pay to be in somebody's movie house, 883 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 1: you own it. And I think it's interesting to watch 884 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: the same thing happened like tele as you now where 885 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: all of these production companies have their own streaming services 886 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: that don't necessarily need to do the numbers of a 887 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: broadcast production. I mean, because typically you were trying to 888 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 1: make a show those popular enough to get enough advertisers 889 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,320 Speaker 1: to continue to fund that network. But now these networks 890 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: are sort of pinched off budgets from larger production companies, 891 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: and so budgets are much smaller, but what you're getting 892 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,800 Speaker 1: is a ton of shows, maybe in eight of which 893 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: are quality. Not to say that there aren't more good 894 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 1: shows that you just might like, but if we're talking 895 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 1: like actual quality television coming out of the Golden Age 896 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,839 Speaker 1: of TV, we are not anywhere near producing the number 897 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 1: of Golden Age television shows that we were, and there's 898 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: ups and downsta On the upside, so many writers are 899 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,399 Speaker 1: employed right now, and I think that's a really beautiful thing. 900 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 1: But if you listen to the writing community, uh, the 901 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 1: television writing community specifically, they're talking about how the experience 902 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: you used to get when you were doing twenty two 903 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: episodes of season and you would come on set and 904 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: you would learn how to deuce and how to show run. 905 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 1: It's an integral part to moving on from being a 906 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 1: writer to being a head of production or a showrunner. 907 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: And now you know, you get maybe what ten episodes season, 908 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: sometimes eight, you're coming on set less. Some of that 909 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 1: is COVID protocols, But I think, you know, TV is 910 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 1: in such an interesting place and I'm interested to see 911 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: how we're gonna pull up from that. I think HBO 912 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,839 Speaker 1: Max is doing a really great job of providing really 913 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:34,280 Speaker 1: intelligent thoughtful content that is directly for a super niche audience, 914 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 1: which I think is probably going to be the wave 915 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: of the futures we've seen with like YouTube and stuff. 916 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 1: It's niche audience creation is what has become sustainable, and 917 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: then you'll have your giant, big box office stuff that 918 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: sort of keeps everybody afloat, Right, Emily, does that ring 919 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: true with your experiences? All? Right? Oh? Absolutely, I was 920 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 1: just thinking about I was on set for I've been 921 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: working since March, and I was on set for the 922 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: first time this week. Yeah, because that's because it was 923 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: my episode and so I was allowed to come on 924 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,879 Speaker 1: because of COVID protocols. But then also, like it's part 925 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,399 Speaker 1: of the reason I keep my hair pink is that, 926 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 1: like I always have crazy hair colors. I am wearing 927 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: a mask the entire time. I'm trying to learn. I'm 928 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,799 Speaker 1: trying to meet everybody. Nobody knows who I am, and 929 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 1: so I'm like, you know what, I'm going to be 930 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,839 Speaker 1: the lady with the crazy hair so that you can 931 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: always find me and we can talk about whatever. And yeah, 932 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, you know you want to learn how 933 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 1: to show run and everything, and it's yeah, it's it's 934 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,320 Speaker 1: just a really totally and yeah, our seasons are shorter 935 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: and it's a you know, it's fine, it's good, but 936 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: it's it's not the environment and honestly craft services. Oh yeah, yeah, 937 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: that's taken a real nose dive. So yeah, I want 938 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:50,840 Speaker 1: your stock tables as far as the eye could see. 939 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 1: Just I want I want good mac and she's so 940 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: bad and I'll never get it anyway. All the dream 941 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 1: snacks a problem. Have you tried the sweet pink mac 942 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 1: and cheese from a couple of years ago and now 943 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: that is Kraft mac and cheese for Valentine's a day? Wait? 944 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 1: What is that really? Never call it sweet pink? What sweet? 945 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 1: Where were the memes? A thousand memes should have been 946 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,840 Speaker 1: born of this problem? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was 947 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: real and not just like a made up thing, but 948 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 1: we covered it. It looked disgusting, sounds aboul. Yeah, Well 949 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 1: is it all? Is all? Hope lost? Is it possible 950 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: to make a good TV show anymore? Say?

And now they're 967 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 1: in Boston and their board, and she gets the brilliant 968 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,280 Speaker 1: idea to launch her own television show where she cooks 969 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: and she teaches Americans how to fall back in love 970 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: with food because it's the fifties and we've moved on 971 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 1: to like very processed food again post World War two. 972 00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 1: They're eating wonderbread and like throws and dinners and stuff, 973 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 1: and Julia says, no, We're gonna do francy French cooking, 974 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:42,759 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna show you that you can do it 975 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 1: in your own home, what stuff you can buy at 976 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 1: your local grocery store, and it's gonna make you feel uplifted. 977 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 1: The show is not even about cooking, which I would 978 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 1: have loved, but it's a show about four women trying 979 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 1: to make a television show and micromanaging the men in 980 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: their lives to get out of their way so they 981 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: can work. It is sensational eyes. Most of the cast 982 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,799 Speaker 1: is over fifty, which makes my heart singing. I really 983 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 1: feel like we don't give people that are you know, 984 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't know about thirty any kind of credit or 985 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,799 Speaker 1: time on television a way that is meaningful. Especially we're 986 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: talking about Slice of lifestyle shows. It's usually like Mr President, 987 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 1: the world is ending, or like I'm Jack Bauer, I'm 988 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: gonna shoot some people. Okay, fine, this is a husband 989 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 1: and wife trying to make something work. It's like heartwarming 990 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: and it's beautiful. But on top of all of that, 991 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: there are three black women who right for the show. 992 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 1: They turned one of Julia's producers who was a white 993 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: woman and the only woman in the department into a 994 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: black woman. Now. I have all kinds of feelings about 995 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, recasting like characters as people of color. Sometimes 996 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't work out so good. You know. You can 997 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 1: look at uh, the Space movie with the black mathematicians. 998 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I can't remember what it's called. It 999 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 1: was thank you and hiding figures. When they added a 1000 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 1: white guy to help the white audiences understand what was 1001 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 1: going to make Nassa look less racist? It was bananasn't 1002 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,279 Speaker 1: crazy here. It's like, what would it have been like 1003 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,920 Speaker 1: to be an actual black woman in television production? And 1004 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:09,880 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with the civil rights. Blessed. 1005 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,759 Speaker 1: It's so good. It's so damn good. You have to 1006 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 1: check out Julia. It's on HBO Max Okay, Switching gears 1007 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 1: Obi wan Kenobi is out. There are three episodes. They 1008 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 1: dropped two episodes on its premiere Friday while Star Wars 1009 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 1: celebration was happening. Then they dropped another episode. It comes 1010 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: out Wednesdays. Sorry, real quick. Just how many people get 1011 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: cut in half and Julia, luckily no one gets cut, 1012 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,280 Speaker 1: not even a stabbing. It's so delightful. When I say 1013 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: feel good, I really mean it. It's so uplifting. All right, 1014 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 1: now that shows so I will be asking that on 1015 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: a shower. Sliced men cut in half. Okay, now we're 1016 00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 1: moving on to the second one. What's obi wan Kenobie 1017 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 1: is so good? Okay? I really like Clone Wars the 1018 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 1: animated series. If you haven't watched it, but you have 1019 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: seen the prequels, here's what you need to know. The 1020 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 1: prequels were what they were. Okay, they were coming out 1021 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: of time, the whole special effects. They were trying to 1022 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 1: use renew and you know, breaking ground as Star Wars 1023 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 1: tries to do every time it comes up to bad. 1024 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,840 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful try. Some things landed, some things didn't. 1025 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 1: Some performances were great, so we're not It's mixed, and 1026 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 1: I get it. Clone Wars said, I love Star Wars 1027 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 1: so much. Dave Filoni is a showrunner for that. I'm 1028 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 1: gonna make all of that mess makes sense. And then 1029 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 1: he did it. In eight seasons. He made you care 1030 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 1: about Anakin Skywalker in a way the movie could never 1031 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 1: have hope to have touched. They show perfectly the transformation 1032 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: of a hopeful kid who wants to learn to protect people, 1033 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, because he was enslaved and he's like, I 1034 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,480 Speaker 1: don't know how to help everyone around me, and possibly 1035 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: at odds against the university said we're gonna gieve some 1036 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 1: power and some training, and how does that go wrong? 1037 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,440 Speaker 1: How does that kid full of hope and aspiration turned bad? 1038 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 1: It's a perfect cell. It's so good. They introduced so 1039 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: many Joe characters who are kind of in the background 1040 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: of the movie and make them full fledged creatures who 1041 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: have lived full lives, and you just care so damn much. 1042 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 1: All we want to know does that in a completely 1043 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,960 Speaker 1: different way, And so instead of expanding the universe and 1044 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: really bringing a lot of richness and and clarity, Obi 1045 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: One says, what if the hero you've known all along 1046 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: takes a horrible turn? And the prequels he's like, I 1047 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 1: don't know, he's he's new at everything, but he's coming 1048 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: to himself. Yes, brother, yeah, And he's like a good Jedi. 1049 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: He's like a very sounded, skilled Jedi brother. And then 1050 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,320 Speaker 1: the Originals he's a teacher and why and he has 1051 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 1: all these lessons learned exactly in the middle of all 1052 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,200 Speaker 1: of that, he's lost his father figures, the only family 1053 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 1: he's ever known, the brother he kind of raised as 1054 00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 1: a son, the all of his political allies. So when 1055 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: we come into Obi Wan Kenobe series, that's where he is. 1056 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 1: He's in between the prequels and the originals, having lost everything. 1057 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 1: He's got PTSD, he hasn't been a Jedi for ten years. 1058 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: He wants no one to know he is. He's in hiding. 1059 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 1: He's trying to protect baby Luke. That's where the show opens, 1060 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,959 Speaker 1: and from there it takes you down a twisted road 1061 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 1: of like the main song in the final prequel movie, 1062 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: it's called uh Duel of the Fates and Dual of 1063 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 1: the Fates, which plays when kagon Jin of One's Master dies. 1064 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: It also has a lot to do with how Anakin 1065 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 1: is raised, and this whole series is a dual, duel 1066 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 1: of the faiths. The whole series is a duel of 1067 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,280 Speaker 1: the faiths. It's Obi Wan versus Anakin turned to Darth 1068 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: Vader and how do you bring balance back to the 1069 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 1: forest when you've lost everything? Guys, it's so good. Devic 1070 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 1: Child directs all of it, and I'm I love her 1071 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 1: so much. She's so talented and brilliant, and she directs 1072 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,240 Speaker 1: every episode of the series, which is the first Isnany 1073 01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 1: Plus series to do that have a single director. It's 1074 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: a method I really really love when film gets to 1075 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 1: do the sorry, when television gets to do that, have 1076 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 1: one director, because I think that's so low vision brings 1077 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:16,959 Speaker 1: a lot of clarity moment to moment. Obviously, no one's 1078 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,160 Speaker 1: trying to leave their fingerprints on it in a unique way. 1079 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 1: It's a singular voice. If you haven't seen the Nick, 1080 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,200 Speaker 1: you should also takes that same approach. I I just 1081 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 1: love it. It's so it's so good and you don't 1082 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 1: have to be a Star Wars obsessive to find it enjoyable. 1083 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,200 Speaker 1: Two questions I don't want to tell anymore because it's 1084 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: two questions so good. One do they address something that's 1085 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:41,959 Speaker 1: always stuck out to me? Is a little bit weird 1086 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: that he is. They're trying to lay low. They're trying 1087 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 1: to keep Luke off Darth Vader's radar, the Vader Raider 1088 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 1: as it's called in my expanded universe. And he keeps 1089 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: his name Kenobi, but he he doesn't change his Last 1090 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Night him, They don't, but you do. In the first 1091 01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 1: couple of episodes give the idea that it's an emergency break, 1092 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:13,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like last night they don't 1093 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 1: they let him be a skywalker? But he's staying with 1094 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: I guess it's a big it's a well, not only 1095 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,640 Speaker 1: is it a big universe, but Darth Vader I think, 1096 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 1: has difficulty going back to tattooing. I don't think case 1097 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 1: where his mother died and so yeah, so, and he's 1098 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: with you know, Uncle Ben's. So he could find who 1099 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 1: if he wanted to. But I think he's not trying 1100 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 1: to go back there. Okay. Second, and the same question 1101 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 1: I had on Julia, does anybody get cut in half? 1102 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Someone does get cut in halfing? That was a great review. 1103 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,919 Speaker 1: Those are two great reviews. I was looking for something 1104 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 1: to watch. Jack. Do you have a movie or a 1105 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,080 Speaker 1: TV show where there's like record numbers of people getting 1106 01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 1: cut in half? I don't. I don't off the top 1107 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,040 Speaker 1: of my head. I just I would have to get 1108 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 1: my spreadsheet out and it might crash my computer. Um, 1109 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 1: it's a long, ongoing documentation. I do. I do like 1110 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: a you know, Friday thirteenth. I will sometimes when things 1111 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 1: are especially bleak, and this did happen when Mercury wasn't retrograde, 1112 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 1: I will just watch one of those kill compilations of 1113 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,840 Speaker 1: Friday thirteen killed, not even the movie just no no, no, no, no, no, 1114 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 1: just the kill. Comp'm yeah very bad. Yeah, I know 1115 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 1: it's sad. Yeah, no, it's not good. I I have 1116 01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:41,800 Speaker 1: a broken, sad part of me and that that and 1117 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 1: it feeds on that. It's usually like late at night 1118 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 1: in like a room by myself after I put the 1119 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 1: kids to bed, and I'm just like, give it to 1120 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: me Red some good ones.

I don't. 1123 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 1: I don't like it at all. But yeah, those were 1124 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: my favorite movies when I was like eight, and there's 1125 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 1: still a part of me that's like, let's let's check 1126 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: those out again.
