1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Studio

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: fifty four Zeit Club. That is a uh Johnny Davis

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: short show title from his suite of nineteen hundreds trends.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: Studio fifty four was a big deal in the seventies.

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: I think, based on all the articles that have been

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: written about it, I think it was like the one

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: place where cocaine was legal. We could seem like everybody

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: was just doing drugs and all the famous people were

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: there and I am Jack and that over there, well,

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: that is super producer Tricia Mukerjee. Hello, Hello, how are

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: you going. Hi, Tricia, Trisia, I'm doing good. Thank you

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: so much for joining. You were on an episode before,

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: but this is your first time just going head to head,

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, well, lucky for you. The big trending

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: thing as of the US recording is Kevin Durant. Are

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: you an NBA fan at all? No? No? Okay, So,

17
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: history of basketball. He is a seven foot guard. Basically

19
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: he can like shoot from anywhere on the court and

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: he is seven ft tall, and he is also cool. Anyways,

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: I love him. He's probably the player I am most

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: rooting for right now, because I'm an NBA fan who

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: like mainly roots against the haters, and there's a lot

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: of haters against him these days. And he went to

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: the your Brooklyn Nets right here you live in that

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: area close enough, formerly the New Jersey Nets, which I

27
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: do think closer to your regions. Um, and it didn't

28
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: work out. Didn't work out so good, um because he

29
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: teamed up with Kyrie Irving, who sat out a bunch

30
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: of time. Um, James Harden. He teamed up with James Harden,

31
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: who demanded a trade halfway through the season. So um,

32
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: he has demanded a trade, which anytime like one of

33
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the five best players in the league is up for grabs,

34
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: it gets exciting in the world of the n b

35
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: A And another interesting like kind of contextual thing, uh

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: for me as an NBA fan is that this was

37
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: like we we are in a new era of NBA misinformation,

38
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: where like there're three main people who like report news

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: like report like there there's woj who like gives people

40
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: wouj bombs, which is like the big piece of information

41
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: that he knows before anybody else. And you know it's

42
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: going to be accurate because he is always right, and

43
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: then there's Shams, and then there's one other guy, and

44
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: and they've started getting things wrong for the first time,

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: Like ahead of the draft, they were like wrong about stuff.

46
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: And so my theory is that like the steaks got

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: too high, and much as the CIA did, like at

48
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Cold War, like started investing in

49
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: counter intelligence where they would like seed misinformation with the

50
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: other side. And so I'm yeah, I'm just I'm curious

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: if if we're going to see more and more misinformation

52
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have the first draft uh pick in the

53
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: latest NBA draft wrong. I do think they seem to

54
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: be an agreement that Katie is asking for a trade

55
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: and the Nets are honoring his wishes, so now it's

56
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: a matter of where he goes. Supposedly, the two teams

57
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: that people seem to agree on are the Sun's the

58
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns, the Miami heat Um. And then some people

59
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: are saying that my Philadelphia seventy six ers are also

60
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: in the mix. I have not seen that be reported

61
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: from a rely bull source. Okay, good, they're just trying

62
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: to trick you. They're trying to trick me into having hope. Yeah, um, yeah,

63
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: So anyways, this is a story that I will be

64
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: following closely because I just want to see Katie get

65
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: on the right team and put put all the haters

66
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: to sleep. Personally, Uh, that sounds fascinating, Jack, thank you

67
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: for mere you go. Um, I don't know how to

68
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: look out for the misinformation, that's right, Joe Biden. So

69
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: this is a speaking of misinformation. I think that's what

70
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: this story is. There's like, so he he has indicated

71
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: repeatedly like he has every uh intention to run again

72
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: in um and then uh, Kamala Harris in her CNN

73
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: interview was like, he will be running and I will

74
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: be his running mate. And then like there was this

75
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: moment where she like came to the back of Air

76
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: Force two and was like, hey, so, um, could I

77
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: actually revise that statement so if he intends to run

78
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: And so the weirdness of her coming back and personally

79
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: like softening the statement, I think made everybody think, Okay,

80
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: that must mean that he's not actually planning where he's

81
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: less certain that he's going to run. I'm sure the

82
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: moment she said it, she just realized, oh no, this

83
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: would be a terrible idea. We gotta fix this. Before

84
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: he was out of hand in the realm of most

85
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: stressful people to watch talk and like regret their word

86
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: choice in real time, like that that is truly a

87
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: powerhouse ticket like watching Biden and Harris talk and like

88
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: be like kind of like trying to figure out how

89
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna end a sentence and like it's you know,

90
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: you don't know how they're going to land the plane

91
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: and oftentimes they don't, and um, like they they are. Yeah,

92
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: I I have much more faith that, um, that she

93
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: misspoke than I do that they're actually going to do

94
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: the right thing and not run. It seems to be

95
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: specifically like that there are trigger words that set off

96
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: requirements for Biden to establish a formal campaign with the

97
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: Federal Election Commission. So saying Joe Biden is running for

98
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: reelection and I will be his ticket mate full stop

99
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: seems to indicate that they need to then like file

100
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: And so I think what she came back was just like, hey,

101
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: I didn't actually say that, Like you actually misheard me

102
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: and you were recording equipment is broken broken. Yeah, Well,

103
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean I guess given the fact that they're just

104
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: trained to make promises and declarations that they never follow

105
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: through on like it's really something to hear go back

106
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: and say like, actually, never mind, oh, and never mind

107
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: on any of the stuff that we said during the

108
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: previous selections it too, and do that My big thing,

109
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: the thing that makes me wonder if we will see

110
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: them not run or not be the only option for

111
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: people who don't want to vote for fascism, is that

112
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: I do think it's looking less likely that he'll be

113
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: like the mainstream Republican pick. I also don't think he

114
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: will then just decide not to run um, And so

115
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: if that ticket is split up, then I feel like

116
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: the Democrats might I don't know, they'll probably still run

117
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Biden andharrassed, but then maybe a fourth party candidate comes

118
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: in and just makes things interesting. Yeah, I guess. So.

119
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Just such a shame if the same thing that happened

120
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: in happened again, Whereabiden just takes this friend and center

121
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: stage and then no one has any option but quote

122
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: for him for fear of something worse, but like no

123
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: one wants him to be there. I wish he'd understand

124
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: like this is not his time, right, Yeah, he's already

125
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: gotten at once. I also feel like there's a thing

126
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: where I think it's more and more like when you

127
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: look at the approval ratings of every president, it seems

128
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: like we are in a new era where nobody likes

129
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: the president and like nobody's happy with the job the

130
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: president is doing. Granted, that's probably because they never do

131
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: anything because they structurally like can't really do anything anymore

132
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: other than like kind of be a ideological figurehead. But

133
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: the like low approval ratings, the fact that like, you know,

134
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: we we did have you know, uh w when reelection

135
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: and Obama win reelection, but those were like incredibly close

136
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: things for presidents who during their first terms like started

137
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: with incredibly high approval ratings. W after rhind Levin was like,

138
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: you know, one of the most popular presidents in modern history. Um,

139
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: and then you know, for very good reason, he became

140
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: much less popular. But I just I wonder if we're

141
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: entering a new era where like not running the incumbent candidate,

142
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: like where that accepted wisdom that like you got to

143
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: run the incumbent being an incumbent best like thing that

144
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: you could possibly have is actually not not the case anymore,

145
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: because I do think people hate the president now more

146
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: than ever. So another loose theory, another reason why they

147
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: should think about maybe walking it all the way back

148
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: and all the way back to we're not gonna run

149
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break.

150
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: We'll I'm back, We'll talk about Katanogy Brown Jackson who

151
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: has been sworn in, and we're back, and Yeahtanji Brown

152
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: Jackson in the Supreme Court. That is so exciting. It's

153
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: just with everything recently with the Supreme Court, this is

154
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: just a victory, and a very big victory, I would say,

155
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: despite the fact that the rest of the world around

156
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: it is pretty fucked up. Right now, I saw the

157
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: pictures of her being sworn in, and um, she looks

158
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: so happy. She was smiling the whole time, and yeah,

159
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean, um, it says that it's taken two two

160
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: years and a hundred fifteen prior appointments for a black

161
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court

162
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: of the US. So this is a victory that we

163
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: can actually celebrate after a Yeah time, it is victory

164
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: we can celebrate. And it's nice that one ninth of

165
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court was not part of the Supreme Court

166
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: that just like demolished the country. Right, Not that there's

167
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: anything she could have done necessarily stopment, but one little

168
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: little ember of hope. So um. Also speaking about the

169
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, they did one good thing, which is that

170
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: they did the Trump era Remain in Mexico policy, which

171
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: essentially made people who are trying to come to the

172
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: US from Central and South America wait in Mexico while

173
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: their immigration cases were being processed. And this was a terrible,

174
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: terrible policy for many reasons. Um. One was that people

175
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: who had no affiliation with Mexico, no prior connection, just

176
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: had to wait at the border for an undefined period

177
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: of time as they were just waiting for like our

178
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: very slow bureaucratic immigration system to even tell them anything. Um.

179
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: And so people are living in very dire conditions. So

180
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: now that that policy is being rolled back again, it's

181
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: a small victory in a really big uphill battle for

182
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: immigration activists. But at least now people can come in

183
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: the US and don't have to just wait along the

184
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: border in pretty bad conditions. Not that it's necessarily that

185
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: they'll have a much easier time in the US, because

186
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: despite Trump being out of office, ICE is still very

187
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: active and kind of making the lives of immigrants heart

188
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just one step right, I mean, and

189
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: we talked about the ruling in favor of air pollution

190
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: on tomorrow's episode. But yeah, this, this does seem like

191
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: another glimmer of light in the inky blackness of space

192
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: that we we've has been the recent news cycle. This

193
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: is a sad day for would have been a sad

194
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: day for me in my twenties. Also, I'll say, because

195
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: it looks like they are bringing an end to the

196
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: dollar slice pizza in New York. Um, I lived off

197
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: of pizza for my entire twenties when I lived in

198
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: New York. I think I think I put the percent

199
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: of calories I currently consume being peanut based at like

200
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: today's episode, I would say percent of calories I consumed

201
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: in my twenties was eight percent pizza based. Yeah, for

202
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: the entire time that I lived in New York City,

203
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: because it was cheap. I am currently in my twenties

204
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: and living in New York City, and I would say

205
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: of my calorie and take is probably pizza based as well,

206
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: and specifically dollar pizza. And in fact it's been increasing

207
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: because groceries and like vegetables and fruits and anything else

208
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: is so expensive. It's just impossible to buy. So I've

209
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: been eating even more dollar pizza, and now dollar pizza

210
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: has not become pizza anymore. It's one fifty. Yeah, it's

211
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't just roll off the tongue like dollar pizza.

212
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: But I came back from abroad and suddenly all the

213
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: stores are selling it for one fifty. I asked one

214
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: of the dollar sized pizza guys, can you just sell

215
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: a smaller slice for a dollar yeah, to maintain this institution,

216
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: and he said, no one will buy it. So I think,

217
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: especially in New York, like, there's a lot of immigrants, um,

218
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: a lot of Bengali in Bangladeshi people who work at

219
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: these stores, and I think the inflation is hitting them

220
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: really hard. So if you're in New York, go buy

221
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: some dollar fifties sized pizza. Yeah. Cinema and Mansion are trending.

222
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: Both Mansion Cinema's position on preserving the filibuster hasn't changed

223
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: in light of the Dabs ruling or Biden calling for

224
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: Congress to eliminate it in order to cut off Roe

225
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: v Wade. Uh, they're spokes people tell me, I actually

226
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: just copy and paste of that from a news article.

227
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: They didn't I didn't reach out to their spokespeople for

228
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: a comment, but they told whoever wrote that news article,

229
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: but let's make them vote on it, you know, like

230
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, like it's yeah, I I don't know like

231
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: they because they said, like, well they they lied, like

232
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: they said, you know, they they're like they broke the

233
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: rules they're not allowed to. But then they won't use

234
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: the rules to overturn it because they're not acting on

235
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: behalf of the people that they represent. Their acting on

236
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: behalf of corporate interests and conservatives. Yeah, it's just so

237
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: incredibly frustrating that two people can take so much away

238
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: from so many people, especially people that they're namely representing. Yeah. Um,

239
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: and finally, just a little daily piece of evidence that

240
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: we should eat ultra wealthy and it would be the

241
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: best thing possible for them is something called Hampton's Bladder.

242
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: So Gawker is reporting on this that um ultra wealthy

243
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: New Yorkers are getting bladder surgery and botox to avoid

244
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: having to pee on the drive up to the Hampton's,

245
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: which it's causing them to be like mad at each

246
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: other because they like car pool and they won't stop

247
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: for each other if one of them has to be.

248
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: It's just like a level of boredom that is like pathological,

249
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: and so I don't know. Their world is just so

250
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: small and sad and uh like, wouldn't it be the

251
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: best thing for them if suddenly the State of New

252
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: York just made it legal to hunt them, Like, wouldn't

253
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: they suddenly they would be like, oh my god, this

254
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: is so exciting, And wouldn't forget about Hampton's bladder? Like

255
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: they at some level they have to be among the

256
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: most miserable humans who have ever existed. Yeah, this is

257
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: absolutely I don't know. I'm just shocked. There's a quote

258
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: that says, I can't tell you how many arguments I

259
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: personally get into. I've lost three friends because I'm the

260
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: driver and refused to stop for them, said one Hampton's

261
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: bladder survivor, What is a bladder survivor? If you've funny

262
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: but it's so real, Like yeah, and it's like you

263
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: know that when people ask the question like what would

264
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: you do if you had fuck you money? And these

265
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: people are like, I would get bladder surgery so I

266
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: don't have to stop at the bathroom. Yeah. In the US,

267
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: it's like, no, there's nothing to do other than just

268
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: like hang out with other people who have fucking money

269
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: and the most boring limited person because what you're doing

270
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: by having that much money is immoral and you're like

271
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: just funny ways to just only hang around other people

272
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: who have the same weird problems as you can. Yeah,

273
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: I wish them luck, I guess, And Seamless drives to

274
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: the Hempton's and I hope that they do something good

275
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: with their buddy. Yeah, they move on to uh something else, Yeah,

276
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: bladder botox, which decreases urinary frequency for women. And then

277
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: the other one, uh, Prostrate artery embolization involves inserting a

278
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: small scope through the urethra and using a special needle

279
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: to inject the drug. That is what they are doing

280
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: to get more Seamless drives to the Hampton's. Ah, that

281
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: sounds terrible. Who would go through that by choice instead

282
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: of literally just pulling over? There's so many places to pee,

283
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Like also, you you're you're having to because like the

284
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: point that this article makes is that one party never

285
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: having to pee actually causes issues because other parties do

286
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: have to peace. So it's almost like a flex where

287
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: you're like being like, now we're not pulling over, you

288
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: can kiss my you know, warmed seats back there. I

289
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: will not pull over, and then I will tell everybody

290
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: the story about how you soiled yourself because I'm impervious

291
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: to the urge to go to the bathroom. UM oh

292
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: my gosh. Yeah. Anyways, Uh, cool society that we have here.
