How much time does that give you 69 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: at this point? Are you I've essentially a time traveler? 70 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: You did how many?

Okay, probably only 73 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: like a week that you lost, right right, I mean 74 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: that's a hundred and thirty two hours. So it's like 75 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: fuck it. You know who who gives you?

That's about five and 78 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: a half days of your life apparently that you lost. 79 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: But I went up to see I also fully think 80 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: that if I looked deep enough into that study it 81 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: was funded by like big Lettuce or something. I'm like, 82 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: who did that study? How do you arrive at a 83 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: figure like that? Lies? All lies but the summer of Wieners. 84 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: I know, I was going to say, I was gonna say, 85 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: it speaks a lot to Jamie's Uh where Jamie's at 86 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: that she thinks the primary competitor to hot dogs is lettuces. 87 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: Like you know the thing the two things that you 88 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: make a salad out of, either lettuce or you know, 89 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of hot dogs chapter one the food spectrum 90 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: to the left lettuce and on the other end the 91 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: hot dog spectrum of lettuce to hot dog. Um. And 92 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm unfortunately just fully a hot dog, the one hot dog. 93 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: One of my first memories is actually a hot dog 94 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: experiment myself where I was staying with a babysitter and 95 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: she was like, you're gonna have three types of hot dogs. 96 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna grill them, we're gonna boil them. And I 97 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: forget what the third was, but yeah, I was like five, 98 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: three hot dogs, like all different kinds. I remember one 99 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: being a little bit burnt and uh, and then I 100 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: threw up so, yeah, you know, did you get burnt 101 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: hot dogs? But I didn't say I didn't like throw 102 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: up from the taste. I think I just it was 103 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: too much for my little body for you. My dad 104 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: also had like, I've been very interested in how everyone 105 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: has a story about hot dogs, even if they don't 106 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: think they do. We're like my dad also, I was like, well, 107 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: what's your hot dog memory? And then he was like nothing. 108 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: And then two days later he told me the most 109 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: like the weirdest story I've ever heard about him. Yeah, 110 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: it was that harsh to actually wait. But then two 111 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: days later, hours later, you're walking out, he's like, Jamie, stopped, 112 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: I need to tell you. You need to tell you 113 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: something I haven't been right. And then he told me 114 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: about the time he worked at a like a dog 115 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: track when he was fifteen, because he's very old. And 116 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: and then he was like and he like eight ten 117 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: hot dogs in a day and then he went to 118 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: the hospital.

I do love that. That's very refined. What 211 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: is something you think is overrated, Jamie? What I think 212 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: is overrated, and this is maybe controversial, is the Amityville Horror, 213 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: the film, the book, the true story. What are we talking? Well, 214 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: it's not I feel like okay. So I went down 215 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: the rabbit hole a couple weeks ago where incredible comedian 216 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: Joe Firestone was posting about the fact that she was 217 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: reading it. I was like, oh, I'm in the mood 218 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: to be scared. Scary seasons coming up. I downloaded the 219 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: audio book, I listened to it, and it was like, Okay, 220 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: this is like based on a true story. I think 221 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: that is clearly not real. Like it just was like 222 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: it was really scary, but it was also like I 223 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: was like, this is like this is fake and it was. 224 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: It was fucking in my head. So then I got 225 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: I listened to the audio book on a plane when 226 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: I was home, and I watched both of the Amityville Horrors, 227 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: the seventies one and the Ryan Reynolds one, which is awful, 228 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: so bad. It was like in Ryan Reynolds, I'm serious era, 229 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: and like I had two thousands where it was just 230 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: like Ryan Reynolds was for yeah, but for Ryan Reynolds 231 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: is like I'm really loud and I have a tequila 232 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: company or whenever he's doing. Now that's my that's my 233 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: impression of Ryan reynd I'm really loud. Um. Anyways, he's fine. 234 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: That movie isn't good. But it was like just and 235 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: then I was watching videos of the Lorraine and Ed 236 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: Warren and them on public Access, being like the Amityville 237 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: Horror is definitely real, and I just and then I 238 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: I was engaging with it so heavily, and then I 239 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: just started getting mad because I'm like, it's not real, 240 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: it's not really, you're all liars. Like it's so interesting 241 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: to like trace how it seems like the couple with 242 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: the Amityville Horror like noticed that they like, I mean, 243 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: they knew they lived in a murder house. But like 244 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: there's you can kind of trace these few things where 245 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: it became clear to them that they can make a 246 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: lot of money if they were like, hey, how still haunted? 247 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: And a ton of people made a lot of money 248 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: off of it, And I guess it's kind of a 249 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: victimless crime, but it's um the whole thing. I feel 250 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: like people still talk about it like it actually happened, 251 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: and I just feel like it did. I believe even 252 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: ghost and I don't think it happened. God it damn 253 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: it isn't.

It feels like 408 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: back when people would all watch the same. It feels 409 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: like when people would watch the same reality show. It's 410 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: a national event. It's something to be excited about. Survivor 411 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: Season one, you know, right right naked that one guy 412 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: got naked.

Broke koby Ashi, so I 416 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: can't engage with it. It's like Kobyashi broke himself. And 417 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: I think that I think that Joseph Chestnut is headed 418 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: down the same road. But it's not my business. It's 419 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: not my business to look mortal. Mhm. I know, And 420 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: it's and if you look at you know whatever. I hope. 421 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: I hope that Joseph Chestnut is doing well and getting rest. 422 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: But I was worried about him this year. All right, 423 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be back to 424 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: talk about non hot dog related knock off this indog traination. Okay, 425 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: and we're back, And just a long term story that 426 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna be paying attention to on the daily zeitgeist 427 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: is that insurance companies are going to be bailing on 428 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: the people they're supposed to be ensuring as climate change 429 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: gets worse, as just things get worse in general. That's 430 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: kind of the next stage of what people who are 431 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: paying attention to that disaster are expecting, and COVID is 432 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: giving us a glimp senda what that might look like, 433 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: with insurers basically saying we didn't say, like cover forever 434 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: one folks, like this is the business now. You know, 435 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: in the US health insurance companies, they said, we're going 436 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: to cover a h of the costs because it's a pandemic, 437 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: so you know, we'll treat you. There's no no, no 438 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: need to pay for co pays or deductibles or any 439 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: of that. People are still making those now more than 440 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: ever commercials. So we are all. We are with you 441 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: now more than ever for about sixty days or we 442 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: reach our cap for three million, whichever comes first. It's 443 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: like now and I can't emphasize enough now literally right tomorrow, 444 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: who knows, honestly, we have to see what the what 445 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: the revenue reports look like. But yeah, they began to 446 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: change their minds this year. And you know, depending on 447 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: where you lived in the country, some started as early 448 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: as January of this year leading up to you know, 449 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: in the last few months. But it's becoming a trend. 450 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: Like when you look at like the top two insurance 451 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: providers in certain states, many of them are starting to 452 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: roll back their coverage or what fees they were going 453 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: to wave. So now they're reinstating those deductibles, those code 454 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: pays for COVID treatment. And mind you, they still managed 455 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: to stay profitable during this isn't uh, this isn't like 456 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: they are any There's no real business argument, I guess 457 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: because if you say, like they went from like four 458 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: point eight billion to four point six billion, like in revenue, 459 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: like maybe that is the tough part, but in like 460 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: when you sort of look at what COVID is right 461 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: now as we understand it, it's not just an illness 462 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: that if you're if it's bad enough, you can take 463 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: a hospital stay and then it's done. There are many 464 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: people who are suffering even if they don't go hospital, 465 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: just long haul COVID where treatment can stretch for fucking 466 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 1: months or indefinitely in some people's cases, just to like 467 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: have some semblance of being able to breathe easier deal 468 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: with chronic fatigue. And in these cases where these people, 469 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: like there was a story in this Washington Post article, 470 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: this woman who got her J and J shot, she 471 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: got COVID eleven days later, and she was on a 472 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,239 Speaker 1: plan that wasn't covering COVID anymore. She was looking at 473 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: easily dollars and expenses when you add up the hospital 474 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: stay and we're in like like post hospital care that 475 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: was necessary. So this is just caused just a ton 476 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: of chaos. And on top of it, there's not even 477 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: like like a uniformity to how insurance companies are looking 478 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 1: at certain plans. They say, like in this article from 479 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, quote the lack of uniformity and COVID 480 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: insurance practices across the country this year striking in some 481 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: places because of differences in health plan policies. COVID patients 482 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: in the same hospitals and in the same ICU units 483 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: could be facing completely different financial burdens. And guess what 484 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: this is all because of a lack of a federal 485 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: mandate to waive these charges like permanently before they're just 486 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: sort of doing it out of the goodness of their heart, 487 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: but because it's not being you know, mandated by the 488 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: federal government of course they're going right back to old 489 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: school predatory price gauge ways, right, it's with Yeah, it's 490 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: just another way to make America based on like your 491 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: survival in America based on how much money you have, essentially. Yeah, 492 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: And it's so I mean, it's like a because there 493 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: was I mean, with good reason, it was so heavily 494 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: publicized when things were fully covered, and of course now 495 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: that they're not fully covered, people are probably just finding 496 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: out in real time because the last you heard from 497 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: a public facing standpoint is like, hey, this is it's 498 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: a pandemic, like we're all in this together. And now 499 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: that it's a year and a half out and actually 500 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: capitalism is a motherfucker and we're not all in this together. 501 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: It's I just I mean, it's like health care information 502 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: is so inaccessible as it is, but for like that 503 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: huge rollout to have happened at the beginning and then 504 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: crickets for when the policies were changed is just so ghoulish. Yeah. 505 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: And you look at like the spokesperson for like, you know, 506 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: they're the industries, like lobbying arms called America's health insurance plans. 507 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: They said, quote after a year and a half, it's 508 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: pretty clear that COVID is here to stay. That is 509 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: that this is a continuing health condition. When it comes 510 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: to treatment, we're looking at it like we would treat 511 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: any other health conditioning We're in a fucking pandemic, and 512 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: most fucking places don't and employers don't give a fuck 513 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: if you get sick or anything. So I don't know, 514 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: like if people have legal recourse to like sue their 515 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: employer or the state or being like, well, because of 516 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: your lack of safety guidelines, I was put in a 517 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: high risk situation and now I'm stuck with a bill 518 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: for a communicable disease because I'm also at the will 519 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: of a fucking private health insurance company. And this and 520 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: these changes affect like private you know, like if you're 521 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: getting it from your employer type plans like Medicare, if 522 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: you have no insurance at all, like there are other 523 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: ways for it to be paid. So the people who 524 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: are really getting this like shock of like looking like 525 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: what the folks going on are people who are getting 526 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: their employ uh insurance to an employer. Yeah, there's a 527 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: So there's this book that came out in ten called 528 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: Bullshit Jobs, a theory that made the case that like 529 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: most of the jobs in the US economy are bullshit, 530 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: Like they don't contribute anything to society, and in fact, 531 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: they do harm a lot of times. They exist to 532 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: give a manager someone to manage. It really resonated with me. Like, 533 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: having spent almost twenty years in the U s economy, 534 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: I can say that I've been around these constantly and 535 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: that they are the you know, the norm rather than 536 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: the exception. But one of the like detail or one 537 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: of the examples that they use of like this logic 538 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: in action is when Obama justified you know, keeping private 539 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: insurance companies around and like not going with a fully public, 540 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: single payer healthcare system because millions of people would lose 541 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: their jobs, and like those jobs are inherently there to 542 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: make it harder for people to get healthcare. That's like 543 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: those jobs should go away and they should be replaced 544 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: with a system that is designed to get people in 545 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: need help that like the help that they're looking for. 546 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: But I think this is just a increasingly kind of 547 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: an interesting way to look at Like, you know, I 548 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:51,719 Speaker 1: feel like most people are recognizing that we're coming to 549 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: the end of one era and like need to shift 550 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: into something else that's going to enable us to deal 551 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: with the species like you know, extinction level event that 552 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: we're all headed towards, and like there are just all 553 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: these jobs that are essentially they're just to justify themselves 554 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: because like America needs jobs because of our like puritan 555 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: capitalistic like work ethic like that. This economist John Maynard 556 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: Keys predicted that by now we would have a fifteen 557 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: hour work week because of like how automated everything was 558 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: gonna be, how like fast technology was increasing and improving. 559 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: And the argument in the book, which makes sense to me, 560 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: is that like we're there, it's just that we didn't 561 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: get rid of the work week because we're like addicted 562 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: to the idea that work is the thing that makes 563 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: you like gives you work or gives you value as 564 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: a human being, right right, which which I don't even 565 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: I don't even think it's like inherent too that it's 566 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: just like there's never been a huge movement to discourage 567 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: you from thinking that way, where it's like I just 568 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if any of us 569 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: could remember a time where that wasn't sort of how 570 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: you were conditioned to like shape the image of yourself 571 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: in relation to what you do and who you are 572 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: and how hard you work and and ye hustle culture sleep. 573 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, that whole point of like, you know, you 574 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: keep people toiling, they can't get together, they can't organize 575 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 1: to and to actually bring about change because the toil 576 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: and the grind of working constantly keeps people in place. 577 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: And then you know the way things are set up, 578 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: you just are labor to exploit for other people. And 579 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's a coincidence, right because you saw like 580 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: the light version that occurred with the lockdown, and look 581 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: what fucking happened. They're like, get these people back to work. 582 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck if kids are dying in schools, 583 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: Like these people are fucking not working. They're like starting 584 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: to figure sh it out like that this is bullshit, 585 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: that they're being exploited, that they don't need to live 586 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: like this. No, like they've this is too much. This 587 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: has been too much of a pause, especially at least 588 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: in this country, where you can see that like that 589 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: that version of a world where people have more free 590 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: time is like no, no, no, or even the time 591 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: to actually think about their own like life outcomes that 592 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: they want. Yeah, can yeah, that it threatens that system 593 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: of toiling, and like so many people are like, my 594 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 1: job is meaningless or my job sucks, Like they don't 595 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: like their job. They feel like if they disappeared tomorrow, 596 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: like it wouldn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. 597 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: And like we've just so many of the story like 598 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: this resonated with so many of this with me based 599 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: on so many of the stories we've covered, like militarized 600 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: police patrolling and functionally making problems in communities where they 601 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 1: treat people like enemy combatants, showing up in a situation 602 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: that could be solved by bringing someone to a hospital 603 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: and turning it into a shooting that requires millions of 604 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: dollars and investigations and justifications, and the FBI's investigation following 605 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: nine eleven, which, as we talked about last week, we're 606 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: like fully focused on fabricating reasons to continue an investigation. 607 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,280 Speaker 1: I've like in the tech industry, I've worked at companies 608 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 1: that were, you know, primarily designed to make people who 609 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: were using a different service, like have a worse experience, 610 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: basically like make the Internet less efficient. Like that wasn't 611 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: what my job was, but that was the kind of 612 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: mission that got the most funding, And like basically wild people. 613 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: While they were like having a worse experience, they were 614 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: taking a box that made the tech company money and 615 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: that was the part of the business that received the 616 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: vast majority of the funding because you could create like 617 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: a big work infrastructure around that and you could like 618 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: give these managers lots of people to manage. And yeah, 619 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: it's just because problems mean more dollars, right, because if 620 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: you solve ship, then it's less money. Like you know, 621 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: there's still money that can be made. But if you 622 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: really had a philosophy, like a philosophy as a company 623 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: and to be like, yeah, if you buy our stuff, 624 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: like you can fix it, and it's like really good 625 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 1: and you can, it'll be working again, and like great, cool, cool, 626 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: glad you're able to fix. Yeah, we'll send you a 627 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: replacement part. It's really easy to do. Go on with 628 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: your life. It's it's great. Or even the you know, 629 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: with healthcare, like we can't actually like we have to 630 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: have these systems that are like in such chaos because 631 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: then it just it creates more of a mess things 632 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: to address, more money being spent when really everyone just 633 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: wants like like the outcome, and then people just say 634 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: that's a utopia. That's impossible, right, Well, that's just it's 635 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 1: just antithe. He's like, well, the money, the money is there. 636 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: It's not like the money isn't there and couldn't be 637 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: rerouted if there was. And again every argument is, well, 638 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: so what I'm going to make less money? That's what 639 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: every fucking thing boils down to. When you look at 640 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: Democrats who are saying we're not going to vote for 641 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: lower prescription drugs, they say it'll They have no fucking real, 642 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: like articulated reason for why they would vote against renegotiating 643 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: prescription drug prices, aside from some industry created phrase. It's 644 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,959 Speaker 1: like it'll stymy private sector innovation. Innovation, so which means 645 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: less money. Yeah, he gives. So he gives this example 646 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 1: of a friend of his who was like a poet 647 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: and like fronted and Andy rock band, and like he 648 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: hadn't he had fallen out of touch with him, and 649 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: he got back in touch, and like he had a 650 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: pretty successful career, but eventually, like he was like, but 651 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: I had to grow up and go to law school 652 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: and now he's a corporate lawyer working in prominent New 653 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: York firm. He was like the first to admit that 654 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: his job was utterly meaningless, contributed nothing to the world, 655 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: and in his own estimation, should not really exist, which 656 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: talked to literally any corporate lawyer almost like I've rarely 657 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: talked to a corporate lawyer who's not like, yeah, this 658 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: sucks and I hate what I do. But he points 659 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: out that like the reason, like you, you have to 660 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: ask the question, what does it say about our society 661 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: that it generates an extremely limited demand for talented poet musicians, 662 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: but an apparently infinite demand for specialists in corporate law. 663 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: And his answer is that if one percent of the 664 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: population controls most of the disposable wealth, which is what 665 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: we call the market, you know, that is going to 666 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: reflect what they think is useful or important and not 667 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: what anybody else does. And so like we we've been 668 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: in this system where what is valuable, what is practical 669 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: has been dictated by the top one, and that that 670 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: is above all needs to change as as things just 671 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: get more and more like we were not living in 672 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: a normal society anymore, and it's going to get more 673 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: and more volatile like as we go forward. So yeah, 674 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:26,359 Speaker 1: all right, let's uh, all right, Jack, you just went 675 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: anti joker. You're like we don't live in a society 676 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 1: anymore exactly. All right, let's take a quick break and 677 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back, and let's talk briefly. 678 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 1: So Fox doesn't really know what to do with itself 679 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: these days, and so yeah, the head kind of a 680 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: slow day a couple of days ago. We're just gonna 681 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: play you some some clips from Yeah. They just think, 682 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, this all be equal. It was a 683 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: story because Joe Biden is taking a long weekend in 684 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,879 Speaker 1: like Delaware with like his wife, and he was riding 685 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 1: a bicycle. So this is what Fox News is interpretation of. 686 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: That is, being the leader of the free world has 687 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,240 Speaker 1: to be the most demanding job and the whole world. 688 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: And he simply does not have the mental or physical 689 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: stamina to do this job. And that is why his 690 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: handlers and his wife, who by the way, increasingly look 691 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: more like visiting angels, um, have to schedule in these 692 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: senior breaks for him so he can take naps and 693 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: go for bike rides because he can't concentrate on the job, 694 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: um the way he should. I mean, just compare it 695 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: to President Donald Trump, who worked these long, long hours, 696 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 1: um and you know, had imprompt two hour long uh 697 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, pressers with the you know, with with the media, um, 698 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: the president Biden even in Bob Woodwood wood work. Okay, 699 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,720 Speaker 1: enough of that. So what what what what? What? What? What? What? What? What? 700 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: What would what would I mean impromptu press conferences? You 701 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 1: mean when he would just hijack the mic and sundown 702 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: on air? Really and also like describing all of that 703 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: as if it was like necessary and productive is just 704 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: so silly. It's like, I don't know, like, no, I'm 705 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: not a big fan of Joe Biden, but that was 706 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 1: an MP four of him on a bike Like that, 707 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: was it? Right? Exactly? I'm not here to say, you know, 708 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: like I don't. I'm definitely in he is too old camp. 709 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: I agree with that and more in the sense that 710 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,720 Speaker 1: he has passed his prime given the elasticity of thought 711 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 1: required in this moment we were facing as a society 712 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: or lack of society is act was saying, like, he's 713 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: too rigid. Yeah, he's too rigid to be to arise 714 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,399 Speaker 1: to this occasion. And it's and I think that much 715 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 1: is becoming more and more clear. But you know, do 716 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: with that what you want. But this just sort of 717 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: idea of him saying like it's too that's why he's 718 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: got to take breaks and blah blah blah. It's just 719 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 1: the same they used to have, like there were other things, 720 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: but now it's just like they're just describing what Trump 721 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,919 Speaker 1: would do and be like they're right, I guess that's 722 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: just sort of the football that people pass back and 723 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 1: forth in partisan news. Yeah. Yeah, it's like it's it 724 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: that that was a treat. That was a treat because 725 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: it's like, of all of the like valid points that 726 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: you just made, Miles, it's like the only thing you 727 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: could do to truly profoundly undercut it is to compare 728 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 1: him with the previous right, that is like the worst 729 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: thing you could do. Yeah, the guy who golf like 730 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: how to fucking golf club like surgically attached to his 731 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: fucking hand only watch in the White House, right, Oh yeah. 732 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: And again you'll have like I'm sure on the other side, 733 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: you'll have like liberal news being like, look how active 734 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is like with his schedule. But it's like 735 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 1: Jesus both we stand. Yeah, that's my impression of MSNBC. 736 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: They're like, we stand President, he had one hand. He 737 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: only had one hand on the handlebars. He's the other 738 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: hand to wave at the camera. That's really hard. We 739 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: heard MSNBC have made a jif of it. If you want, 740 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: you can buy right now. Oh my god, to help 741 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: move on dot org. It's also annoying. But yeah, it's 742 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: like the conference. It's like the one the one person 743 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: you don't want to put that if they're smart, don't 744 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: bring up President Trump. Don't bring him up. But he 745 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,280 Speaker 1: isn't even like you guys anymore? Like what are you doing? 746 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: Did that not? The did not make it over to 747 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: the Fox News viewer that he was like the like 748 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: just based on his schedule, was the laziest president, like 749 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: of all time? Was that just not a thing? Probably 750 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: not right? They probably well, I'm sure that they're They're like, well, 751 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was the first president to ever practice hashtag 752 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 1: self care, so he's actually, uh icon of self care? 753 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: Has Joe Biden met with Gwyneth Paltrow yet? I don't 754 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: think so? So how could he know what's best for us? 755 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: Get me pictures of that meeting? Just kidding, I wouldn't 756 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: be So, I'm like, whatever, Jeffrey Katzenberg is going to 757 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: l a city council like of course secretly, secretly, secretly, 758 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 1: She's like, I have so much free time since my 759 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: billion dollar loser projects failed, so let me just tamper 760 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: with things I don't know shit about.

Can you 763 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: help me with that? Also, this is not yeah talking 764 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: about someone trying to justify their their continued existence anyway. 765 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 1: I mean Quimby is a great example of that. You 766 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: know about that there was that there's a lot of talent, 767 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 1: but it was poured into some managerial class assholes. Terrible idea, right, 768 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 1: And also like you're saying the one percent version of 769 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: what they think the market is, which is Jeffrey Katzenberg 770 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,479 Speaker 1: thinking you know what I'd watch and like, I don't 771 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: give a funk what if YouTube videos cost money? You're like, 772 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just salty because I worked on a 773 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: Quimby show. I made like twelve dollars and then it 774 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 1: never came out, So wow, you know, not even did 775 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: it complete or is it part of the Roku resurrection? 776 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: It I don't it definitely, I don't even know if 777 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,720 Speaker 1: it completed. It was animated. So I'm assuming no, wow, 778 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,359 Speaker 1: because you know, Roku gave Quimby a second home. I 779 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: loved to turn it on my little Roku and being like, 780 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: oh that's where it all went. Wow, truly out with 781 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: a whimper Roku TV. But the numbers on Roku are incredible. Yeah, alright, 782 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: let's talk about So we've joked before about, you know 783 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,280 Speaker 1: the idea of just putting a little vaccine and someone's 784 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: morning oatmeal, you know, tricking some of the uh, the 785 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: people who get all their news do their own research 786 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: on Facebook friend groups, Like maybe we put the vaccine 787 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,840 Speaker 1: in their food and they don't notice, and then we're good. 788 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 1: They get to still think they're sticking it to us, 789 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: or people who are like, oh, I hate needles. That's 790 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 1: why I'm gonna put myself at risk because I just 791 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 1: don't like needles, and I don't like needles more than 792 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't like death. So what are you gonna do? 793 00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: Apparently scientists are already thinking like this because of researchers 794 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: at UC Riverside working with a few different universities. They've 795 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: been tinkering with a way to get vaccines into edible 796 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 1: plants like spinach and lettuce, so you could get a 797 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: vac salad. Okay, Because one of the things they're saying 798 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 1: is like the vaccine as it is now, it's really hard. 799 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: It's hard to store, like it has to be at 800 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,320 Speaker 1: a very cold temperature and things like that they're looking 801 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: at they're like, they're just like, Okay, we have a 802 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,280 Speaker 1: three step approach to figuring out what we're gonna do. First, 803 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 1: try and deliver DNA containing the m R and A 804 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,719 Speaker 1: vaccines into plant cells where they can replicate. Next, they 805 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: say they want to show that plants can actually produce 806 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 1: enough of this MR and A to replace a traditional injection. 807 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 1: And then they'll then they'll begin tinkering with like what 808 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: the dosage is essentially from there. But um, one of 809 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 1: the people who's like leading this research is saying that 810 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, there is there is a way 811 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: to make this work. And they say, the key to 812 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: making these vaccines are the chloroplasts. If you remember from 813 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: class I went, I went to seve finth grade. Yet 814 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: this is where the chloroplasts, or where the sun the 815 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 1: sunlight is converted into energy. Yeah, and so they say 816 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: they're like, as he explains, they're tiny solar powered factories 817 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 1: that produce sugar and other molecules which allow the plant 818 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 1: to grow. They're also an untapped source for making desirable 819 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 1: molecules and quoll. Previous studies have shown that it's possible 820 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: for chloroplasts to express genes that are not a natural 821 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 1: part of the plant, and so his this this team 822 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: is trying to do that by like sending this genetic 823 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: material into the like protective casing of the plant cells. 824 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: And they're like boom, boom boom. They've seen like with 825 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: other certain things. So that's why they're optimistic about how 826 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: this could work. They're like fund like you could have 827 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 1: fields of this ship growing potentially, or grow it at 828 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: your own house. I don't. I mean, it's still very early. 829 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: But when I look at him, like damn, okay, I get. 830 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: But I also work curious, like someone who big lettuce 831 00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: at works. Yeah right, they're coming big in a hot dog. 832 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: What about chloroplast big farm? Yeah, thank you, thank you. 833 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,919 Speaker 1: There it is so, you know, I think, But there's 834 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: also a part of me that's like I wonder if 835 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 1: a person who hates needles in their adult age is 836 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: also like a fan of spinach And yeah, let's get 837 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 1: charts do for that, Like, fuck, what are you gonna 838 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: do that? Yeah? I feel like this, you know, the 839 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 1: the wellness community that tends like the portional wellness community 840 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:37,879 Speaker 1: that rejects vaccines I think also probably rejects genetically modified organisms. Yeah, 841 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: like there, we gotta get big, big hot dog on this. Yeah, 842 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:49,279 Speaker 1: put him in the hot dog chloroplasts. Yeah, so they 843 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 1: teach at hot dog University day one. Yeah, here's the 844 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,840 Speaker 1: parts of the hot dog, the cytoplasm, the nucleus, the chloroplasts, 845 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,359 Speaker 1: and the young zone. If you plant, if you if 846 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 1: you dig a hole, you put a hot dog in 847 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,879 Speaker 1: the hole. You water it every single day. You don't 848 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: know what happened. Anything could happen. That's called magic. So yeah, 849 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll look at this closely, but I'm hoping. 850 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if that's sort of the future is you know, 851 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 1: because like people have made ice cream with like vegetables 852 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: in it. You know, like there's all this sort of 853 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 1: tinkering with technology to try and be like here, we 854 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: know you don't like eating healthy, so here's a version 855 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 1: of eating like shit that's actually good for you. Try that. 856 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 1: The flintstone gummies of vaccines. Yeah, yeah, ice cream vegetables. 857 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 1: I feel like also are not gonna appeal to uh, 858 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: ice cream veggies. We're not going to get the Red States. 859 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:51,439 Speaker 1: Just chrick it up. That will tell you. Just say 860 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,919 Speaker 1: a bunch of kale you live, all right, Let's uh, 861 00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: let's check in with Alberta. They had a prov the province. Yes, indeed, 862 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: like that's something we do all the time. Yeah. Well, well, 863 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, at the beginning of the summer, Alberta boldly 864 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 1: proclaimed that they were going to be at the forefront of, 865 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:19,760 Speaker 1: you know, fighting COVID with their unprecedented pretend it doesn't 866 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 1: exist policy. I'm just back to normal. They printed a 867 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 1: bunch of merch with the phrase best summer ever on 868 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 1: it and us no summer of winers. Yeah, it does 869 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: sound similar to summer of winers, like something that a 870 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 1: horny high school grad and a teen sex comedy would 871 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:44,400 Speaker 1: say that they were gonna do. Yeah, but yeah, it 872 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: became the official slogan for Alberta's plan. They actually sold 873 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 1: merch with it. One of the Premier's aids tweeted, the 874 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:57,200 Speaker 1: pandemic is ending except it oh no. And when they 875 00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 1: announced their plans to roll back most public health measures 876 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,319 Speaker 1: was accompanied by a banner reading open for summer, just 877 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: like fucking Jaws, like with the billboard of like yeah, 878 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: come on in swim. So that they did this starting 879 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,759 Speaker 1: on July one, with just over seventy percent of the 880 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 1: eligible population vaccinated, which is a lot like for I 881 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:26,840 Speaker 1: think America would love to have seventy of the elated, 882 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: but it's still like not quite at the level that 883 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: people say gets you heard immunity, and which was unfortunate 884 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 1: because Alberta decided to abandon contact tracing and asymptomatic testing 885 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 1: of people who came into close contact with COVID cases, 886 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: and in August they announced people who actually tested positive 887 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 1: for COVID did not need to quarantine. So they were 888 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: just like, it's a multi pronged it's a multi tiered rollout, 889 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 1: And basically the idea I was to make COVID nine 890 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: team protocols similar to those of the flu and other 891 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 1: communicable diseases. That old, that old chestnut that we heard 892 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: so much at the beginning of the pandemic, and then 893 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 1: in Alberta we heard it like very recently and Alberta's 894 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,480 Speaker 1: health minister admitted no other jurisdiction in Canada or elsewhere 895 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: in the Western world has similarly discarded isolation or testing measures, 896 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:29,840 Speaker 1: but claimed that Alberta was leading the way. And yeah, 897 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: so unpredictably, like such a long way of saying, you 898 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,799 Speaker 1: just like don't give a ship and don't want to 899 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,879 Speaker 1: deal with it. It's like we're leading the way and 900 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:43,319 Speaker 1: not doing anything. You're like, well, right, well they did 901 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: print those hats up. That's said best summer ever. So 902 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 1: so yeah, this is under conservative leadership. I'm assuming conservative leadership. 903 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,880 Speaker 1: They love they love that one that Wold Sweden example 904 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: that they don't check up on, and you're like, it 905 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 1: was ad it was very bad for them. So yeah, 906 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,320 Speaker 1: you're you're never gonna guess what happened next. With a 907 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 1: huge chunk of the population still in vaccinated cases and 908 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 1: hospitalizations went uh, Dawn, Yeah, I know, I didn't. I 909 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: was really thrown for a loop. I said, I don't 910 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 1: like jump scares Jack. As hospitalizations and deaths were spiking 911 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 1: that Alberta United Conservative Party was still selling best Summer 912 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 1: Ever baseball caps on their website, and so the premiere, 913 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 1: the Conservative premier, decided to jump into action and go 914 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: on vacation. What he described as a well deserved vacation. 915 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: He just disappeared, God disappeared. Didn't tell anyone where he 916 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,839 Speaker 1: was going, and people still don't know where he went 917 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: to this day, like where the trip was to. Yeah, 918 00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: he just went away and was like, I'm on vacation. 919 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 1: It's well deserved because as I was leading the Western 920 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 1: world in not doing anything on COVID. While he was 921 00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 1: on vacation, the surgeon cases pushed the health care system 922 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,800 Speaker 1: to the verge of collapse. Children's hospitals had to delay 923 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: the vast majority of their surgeries as a result. Healthcare 924 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 1: workers are calling on him to help get help from 925 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: the military and the Red Cross, and just last week 926 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: he apologized for the fact that this was not the 927 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 1: best summer ever. He said, I know that we all 928 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: hoped this summer that we could put COVID behind us 929 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 1: once and for all. That was certainly my hope, and 930 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 1: I said that very clearly. It is now clear that 931 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 1: we were wrong, and for that I apologize. Let's how 932 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 1: you don't see in this country, Yeah, conservative apologizing for 933 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: being conservative, people apologizing for their horrible policies and shitty 934 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 1: merch like it truly. Yeah, this does feelings point to 935 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: our like hell world style everywhere, you know, like that 936 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 1: you can be in the midst of a pandemic and 937 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: you have these people who because so many people are 938 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: experiencing different realities because of their social status or social class, 939 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,160 Speaker 1: that to them, they're like, this is great, We're gonna 940 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna make these hats even though other people's lives 941 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 1: could be an absolute hell. But if the messaging is 942 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,640 Speaker 1: strong enough around this, maybe we can will that into 943 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,480 Speaker 1: people's minds, even though all of the data in front 944 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 1: of them suggests otherwise. Right, right, Yeah, I mean and 945 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 1: and like to to any of the listeners who live 946 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:39,439 Speaker 1: in Alberta, what a fucking nightmare, Like that's off, Like 947 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,600 Speaker 1: that's such an awful thing to have to we went 948 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 1: through to right, but it's I mean, I guess that 949 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 1: there was an apology at the end, but like that also, 950 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,680 Speaker 1: like what a fucking slap in the face that'd be like, oh, 951 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 1: I guess you know swing and a miss, And it's like, well, 952 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 1: there's there's lives connected to the swing and the miss. Well, 953 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the big is the biggest loser 954 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:05,240 Speaker 1: here was all these hats we didn't sell. Yeah, I'm 955 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: sorry to warehouse the best summer ever has. Yeah, I'm sorry, 956 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,000 Speaker 1: I need to be clear. I was saying that I 957 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 1: was wrong about how these hats would just be flying 958 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: off the shelves and they didn't, and for that I apologize. 959 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 1: The Yeah, I think about the like huge think tank 960 00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: that came up with this strategy and like the thousands 961 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 1: of jobs that were dedicated to coming up with this 962 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 1: strategy presumably, and everyone's sleeping.
