Speaker 5: Bring it out on our fitbitun discussion earlier time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know we were talking. I mean, let's
Speaker 1: take them back through it. You know we're talking about
Speaker 1: Succession finale. Yeah, we were talking about how you know,
Speaker 1: I think our last sentiment before we went into the
Speaker 1: weekend was it would be awesome if they somehow pressaged
Speaker 1: the Orca attacks yeah, and had like all the succession
Speaker 1: children get their whole ship bit. Yeah. And then they
Speaker 1: were like swimming around in the ocean at right, and
Speaker 1: they're like, I don't want to get in there, there's
Speaker 1: too many sharks. And then they got in there.
Speaker 2: Did you start levitating when that happened?
Speaker 3: Because I almost like a fucking I almost like had
Speaker 3: the hydrogen atom like burned into my forehead, like fucking
Speaker 3: doctor Manhattan.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, I'm seeing it all. Now, their whole
Speaker 2: shit shall be bit.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: But thet is so cruel.
Speaker 5: They could have got eaten by a regular shark and
Speaker 5: people would have said, you guys weren't even close because
Speaker 5: you said Orca's right. You didn't predict anything.
Speaker 2: You said, fucking orcas dumb, dumb. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But upon reiterating, we wanted to see them get their
Speaker 1: whole ship bit, Kyle, you came up with a brilliant invention.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, to track your bowel movements and the health
Speaker 5: of your poos. There's the ship bit, yeah, which lets
Speaker 5: you know how many how many times I would say
Speaker 5: the opposite of steps, how many times you your legs
Speaker 5: fall asleep on the toilet every day?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: If you don't like the ship bit, you can get
Speaker 5: the crap a watch. It works with iOS, just kind
Speaker 5: of depending on what operating Yeah, ibs, that's tim uncooked
Speaker 5: salmon is in ar of the crapple watch. I believe.
Speaker 3: Would that be a toilet or a peripheral device you wear?
Speaker 3: I feel like the toilet is would be the most
Speaker 3: effective tool.
Speaker 5: It's just all about getting you into their ecosystem. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the system, the system.
Speaker 1: The biome, the Apple biome.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: This is gonna be fun. It's is gonna be the
Speaker 5: orca to Shark Closeness in like five years. There's something
Speaker 5: that's gonna come out. They're gonna make You didn't call
Speaker 5: it the right name, so you didn't predict it.
Speaker 1: That's right, right, we got to keep it thing all right, Well,
Speaker 1: that's what you can expect from this episode. How we're
Speaker 1: going to get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. Sure, First, a couple of the news
Speaker 1: stories that we should probably talk about, the debt ceiling
Speaker 1: crisis averted a victory for no one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how part of it you are?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about how
Speaker 1: America is rethinking the whole parking spot thing. We've talked
Speaker 1: about Harris and some cities and the Netherlands. They're doing
Speaker 1: the very minimum the beginning steps of starting to think
Speaker 1: about maybe we don't want our cities just completely swallowed
Speaker 1: by cars and parking lots. So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Pedro Pascal being officially too nice, to
Speaker 1: the point that he let fans give him an eyem
Speaker 1: fantatically too kind. Yes, the doctor has some notes for him.
Speaker 1: And Connecticut finally did the right thing and pardoned people
Speaker 1: with marijuana con Oh no, I'm sorry that that's not happening.
Speaker 1: Pardoned people convicted of witchcraft centuries ago. That might sound
Speaker 1: like just a symbolic gesture that is like, yeah, obviously
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that if you haven't done it already.
Speaker 1: They tried in two thousand and eight and like, couldn't
Speaker 1: get it passed. Going, I don't know, we're still looking
Speaker 1: into it, folks.
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 5: You gotta think those sentencings were light as a feather
Speaker 5: stiff as a board. I like, that's probably what the
Speaker 5: judge said as he handed them down.
Speaker 1: Absolutely before we get to any of it, Kyle, we
Speaker 1: do like to ask our guests. Yeah, yeah, what is
Speaker 1: something from your search history?
Speaker 5: My search history today was is mid century modern?
Speaker 2: Real?
Speaker 5: I'm trying to sell a chair, just like I got
Speaker 5: this old desk chair that's like wood and leather, and
Speaker 5: it looks every time I try, you try and sell
Speaker 5: something or buy something, everything's mid century monitoring the whole
Speaker 5: people be like mid century modern Los Angeles Dodgers, Clayton, Kershaw, Bobblehead.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry what I mean.
Speaker 3: His takes on religion are from the mid century.
Speaker 5: Every single thing, every time, everything they do is this.
Speaker 5: Everything is a mid I'm like, is that mid sentry modern?
Speaker 5: Because like it says Nokia, like, I don't know how
Speaker 5: this could possible.
Speaker 1: Everything game on it, but it is mid century.
Speaker 5: It's the snake oil game. That's why it's mid century modern.
Speaker 5: I don't know what that means. I don't know what
Speaker 5: miss I thought mind thing was that because it looks
Speaker 5: like a fake Eames chair, So I thought that's what
Speaker 5: it was. I'm gesturing to it like it's going to
Speaker 5: defend itself. Over here in the corner is that piece
Speaker 5: of ship? I mean, look that right?
Speaker 1: Mid century So mid century modern is became popular in
Speaker 1: the early nineteen hundreds, So it doesn't know what's like
Speaker 1: the name, what exactly are we doing here?
Speaker 2: Oh wait, that's the beginning of that. I had no idea.
Speaker 3: I mean again, I just took it as like a
Speaker 3: catch all basically for like minimal Scandinavian looking furniture.
Speaker 5: That's kind of what I was like. It looks like, ikea,
Speaker 5: you didn't get there, But I'm probably wrong about that too,
Speaker 5: So I'm just figure out.
Speaker 1: What that mid century modern, and then gave up and
Speaker 1: just googled that, so that that's where I'm getting the
Speaker 1: detailed download from the spruce dot com that mid century
Speaker 1: modern can be considered a subset of modern designed that
Speaker 1: became popular in the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 5: Because you don't get information if you google is my
Speaker 5: chair midcenter? They want to know more about it, right,
Speaker 5: which I don't know why I accept all cookies if
Speaker 5: not for them to know what kind of chair I have.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, I'm trying to say. And then
Speaker 5: all I got is scammers want to buy my chair.
Speaker 5: Who's like, I would love your chair. What six digit
Speaker 5: code just got emailed to you? And I was it
Speaker 5: had to do with my chair?
Speaker 2: Wow? Wait, is that really like a phishing scam people do?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, here's a com I mean, I
Speaker 5: have a conversation that I had with someone here about
Speaker 5: the scam where I said, he said, talk about asking
Speaker 5: for a six digit code and I said, sorry, I
Speaker 5: can't sell chair. I died of SIDS, which was you know,
Speaker 5: I'm just tired of the scammers. And he said, you
Speaker 5: can't sell a chair because you're dead. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I died from SIDS. I told you in the earlier
Speaker 5: text message. I don't get the six digit code. And
Speaker 5: then he got really.
Speaker 2: Upset because he made a SIDS joke.
Speaker 5: I think because I wouldn't give him the password to
Speaker 5: my email because he's sending me like a Gmail. You know,
Speaker 5: he's like sending you.
Speaker 3: Two factor if he was like, you know what, you
Speaker 3: shouldn't play around with that man.
Speaker 2: Safe Sleep is the name of the game.
Speaker 3: It's about Safe Sleep saves a lot of lives but
Speaker 3: also starting to get in the back of a lot
Speaker 3: of heads.
Speaker 5: I have a mid century modern son who almost died
Speaker 5: of SIDS.
Speaker 1: Early nineteen hundred, but he's now fifty.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: So I'm trying to figure out what mid century modern
Speaker 5: is because you can't self furniture, especially. I don't know
Speaker 5: if it's everywhere, but in Los Angeles it's like, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Absurd everywhere. I mean, I'm guilty of it too.
Speaker 3: I remember I was trying to get rid of like
Speaker 3: a China hutch that was like that I got like
Speaker 3: from a I don't know, like just it was gifted
Speaker 3: through someone because they're like, it's an antique, it's worth taking,
Speaker 3: and it was not going anywhere. And then I just
Speaker 3: literally said, it's mid century modern. Someone came and picked
Speaker 3: that shit up in fifteen minutes, right.
Speaker 5: I always to me, I thought mid century modern meant
Speaker 5: like a white lady repainted the dresser, right, that's all.
Speaker 5: She sand it down, that trash and repainted it. It
Speaker 5: looks nice.
Speaker 1: You can get by on a technicality there. You just
Speaker 1: have a white lady come by and paint your trash
Speaker 1: trash can. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So that's what I've been spending too much time on today.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 2: What is uh?
Speaker 1: What'suff do you think is overrated.
Speaker 5: All right, every time I do this, I have a
Speaker 5: hard time deciding, but I have too. The first thing
Speaker 5: I think is overrated is nonstick cooking pans. Okay, I am,
Speaker 5: I am a stainless steel cooking pan. Guy, I am back.
Speaker 5: You gotta just let your pan heat up properly. Your
Speaker 5: egg won't stick if you let it heat up properly.
Speaker 5: These things last forever. They're great pans, the non stick stuff.
Speaker 5: Eventually you're like, did I just eat aluminum?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Am I eating like you're eating like a I don't know,
Speaker 5: like little chips of stuff of wall?
Speaker 1: Yeah? A little?
Speaker 2: Am I free basing teflon? Right?
Speaker 1: Some sort of non Newtonian like.
Speaker 5: Sensory modern nonstick coating?
Speaker 1: I think that.
Speaker 5: I think they just based it with lead and asbestos
Speaker 5: and merge that onto your pan. But I love, I'm
Speaker 5: all about give me these shiny shots, let it heat up. Relax,
Speaker 5: you got this, guys. I know it's simple and easy
Speaker 5: to cook an egg on a green pan or whatever.
Speaker 5: Just let the aluminum one.
Speaker 2: Make sure you have like enough oil on it, some
Speaker 2: oil on heat oil. You're good. You aren't gonna do
Speaker 2: anything on that thing. The thing is easier to easier
Speaker 2: to clean because you can't. You'll never have to be like, oh,
Speaker 2: can I put this on the stainless steel? Yeah? You can.
Speaker 2: Fuck you can brush the fuck out thing.
Speaker 5: I gotta. I got a couple of stain steas and
Speaker 5: I got some cast eyes, and I'm good to go,
Speaker 5: and I'm feeling good. And you know, when it comes
Speaker 5: to the cast cast iron doesn't require the insane baby
Speaker 5: treatment that it used to because soap is no longer deadly,
Speaker 5: which is just a great sentence, and so you can
Speaker 5: put soap on it now, so come up, because soap
Speaker 5: also doesn't include whatever weird thing used to be bad
Speaker 5: for stuff. It's fun to be like, remember stuff used
Speaker 5: to clean with that's cancer?
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that turns out that is just direct cancer,
Speaker 1: right lead liquid.
Speaker 3: I had a roommate who I remember he like lost
Speaker 3: it on this person who was dating because they watched
Speaker 3: their cast iron was soap, And that was like my
Speaker 3: first like venture into being like, I don't need one
Speaker 3: of those.
Speaker 2: If not, I.
Speaker 5: Believe cast iron seriousness is a red flag, and men
Speaker 5: predominantly anybody but cast iron seriousness amongst a guy who
Speaker 5: couldn't pitch a tent is. And I don't mean like
Speaker 5: get a boner, I mean like actually put a tent up.
Speaker 1: Now, that's what that's what we're kind of into these
Speaker 1: making fun of these boys.
Speaker 5: Is my Viaga rip off called cast Iron that you
Speaker 5: don't even have to wash it because you can't put
Speaker 5: soap on there.
Speaker 2: Oh man, there you go, get one zip and your
Speaker 2: casting iron.
Speaker 5: So that was what I said was overrated. That in
Speaker 5: the word content.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, man, Holse, are you going to describe art?
Speaker 5: I thought that was the beginning of the end, was
Speaker 5: when they we decided none of none of anything anyone
Speaker 5: created was art because now you don't have to pay
Speaker 5: people for it like it was art. Imagine, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: go to I'm gonna go to the louver and take
Speaker 5: a picture of some content.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My favorite content creator probably Martin Scorsese, Vincent van.
Speaker 2: Go Mine, a little carpenter by the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 5: You know the C and JC was for content, that's right,
Speaker 5: just content Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: What is what you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Underrated? Okay, all right, everybody, I'm not good underrated. I
Speaker 5: think following sports is underrated. Following sports. It's fun to
Speaker 5: make fun of sports.
Speaker 1: You're doing.
Speaker 5: Sports is the biggest It's the biggest thing in the world.
Speaker 5: Sport's the biggest thing in the world, right probably, it's
Speaker 5: like the biggest thing that ever. A lot of people like.
Speaker 5: It's still underrated because everyone loves trash TV and terrible
Speaker 5: storylines with entitled rich people. Boy, let me tell you
Speaker 5: about a little thing called sports. This is the longest
Speaker 5: running soap opera in the history of the world. We
Speaker 5: are in season like ninety of Basketball the sport, if
Speaker 5: not more than that, we're in like season sixty of
Speaker 5: everyone being allowed to be cast in basketball the sport.
Speaker 5: And we're in like season you know, one hundred and
Speaker 5: eighty of baseball. The show Baseball goes so far back.
Speaker 5: There's dudes named like bird like first name, right, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 5: that's my legal name, Treman. And so sports, Oh, storylines
Speaker 5: are so good, the people are so entertaining. Even if
Speaker 5: you don't like the sport, if you don't like basketball,
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter because you could get super into the
Speaker 5: people involved. I'm out here, I know what kind of
Speaker 5: coffee Jimmy Butler likes to make out of a fancy
Speaker 5: espresso machine. This is insane things that I know about
Speaker 5: these people, but it makes it so good. Yeah, it
Speaker 5: makes it so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean, what do you what are you?
Speaker 3: You've been watching the conference finals? I watched the NBA.
Speaker 5: I don't even like any of the NBA teams more
Speaker 5: than any of the other ones. I just kind of
Speaker 5: root for whatever would happen in this television show to
Speaker 5: make around me the funniest. So I'm watching the conference
Speaker 5: finals in the NBA. I'm from Kansas City. They don't
Speaker 5: even have a team, and so I'm like, it would
Speaker 5: be funny if Boston came back from three to zero
Speaker 5: and then lost. Because I live in Los Angeles, where
Speaker 5: everyone roots against Boston. That's their second favorite sports team.
Speaker 5: Is Boston losing, and so that's hilarious.
Speaker 2: To watch every however, he is playing Boston right exactly.
Speaker 5: Everyone loves Miami and now ever, it's so it's so
Speaker 5: funny to watch everyone in Los Angeles panic that Boston
Speaker 5: and then it not happened. It just feels great. It's
Speaker 5: so hilarious. You know, Baseball, that's almost Baseball is more
Speaker 5: of like an audiobook than a TV show at this point.
Speaker 5: But it's just a funny, long running soap opera and
Speaker 5: you can jump into any time and people be like,
Speaker 5: this guy who used to be on the show was
Speaker 5: crazy and now he's dead.
Speaker 2: And now he's the coach. Right.
Speaker 5: Imagine if you're watching a soap opera and a guy
Speaker 5: shows back up and he's like, I'm the director of
Speaker 5: the soap opera now right, Yeah, you died in a
Speaker 5: colema nine years ago.
Speaker 2: Also, this referee scandalous. Behind the scenes, he's talking so
Speaker 2: much ship with a burner phone.
Speaker 5: You can you can get so into this. You can
Speaker 5: be as as deep or as shallow as you want
Speaker 5: into it. There's no entry level for fandom for sports.
Speaker 5: You really for a lot of them now because the Internet,
Speaker 5: you don't really even have to love the sport. Yeah
Speaker 5: you just look at me, crammed. These two huge football
Speaker 5: players have a podcast. Now what are we doing? Like,
Speaker 5: it's just ridiculous. It's a ridiculous thing. I think it's underrated.
Speaker 5: It's fun to make fun of sports. Bah. Sports ball
Speaker 5: is a funny thing to say. It's the longest running
Speaker 5: best soap opera. Uh ever, yeah, I'm gonna I don't
Speaker 5: think saying sports ball is a funny thing to say. Personally,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell our non sports loving listeners,
Speaker 5: let's let's just move on to a different stance, find
Speaker 5: a new angle.
Speaker 4: Bit.
Speaker 1: It's just like it just feels like it's been done.
Speaker 5: And you know, sports fans in Canada call it sports puck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, four and can tell me.
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, is that sports horse? Sports horse? Yeah?
Speaker 5: It is, actually And then I got a couple of
Speaker 5: other underrated things. Trash candy. I love terrible candy everyone hates,
Speaker 5: but that's not you know. I love black liquorice. I
Speaker 5: love Circus peanuts. I love burnt peanuts. Anything that kids
Speaker 5: would throw away on Halloween is like the stuff I love.
Speaker 5: When you said trash candy, I thought you were making
Speaker 5: another pun.
Speaker 2: And I was like, what is this?
Speaker 5: Trash candy is my drag name? No, I love.
Speaker 3: Trash candy, little trash cans.
Speaker 1: You can eat fourth trash can the one I don't need.
Speaker 1: And I'm selling by letting a white woman peanut. Yeah.
Speaker 5: All the candy people want to like throw away or hate,
Speaker 5: they can't. I love orange slot, Circus peanuts, I do
Speaker 5: love those or I.
Speaker 1: Have Circus peanuts and I love away. First you like that,
Speaker 1: I was gonna that was the one that was on.
Speaker 1: I was like, no way, this man's gonna.
Speaker 5: Taste like you're eating an old baseball card and I
Speaker 5: don't hate it.
Speaker 3: Right, You're like, I love the gum that used to
Speaker 3: come with baseball. I ate that when I we were
Speaker 3: kind of gum.
Speaker 5: When I was ten, my dad got me a pack
Speaker 5: of cards from nineteen eighty eight, the year I was born,
Speaker 5: and I ate the gum that was in there, and
Speaker 5: I like And then he's like like, why did I
Speaker 5: think it trumbles into dust?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: Oh it does? Oh.
Speaker 3: Second you bite it, it like cracks like the fucking
Speaker 3: like salt and sea floor and then like you get
Speaker 3: like maybe one or.
Speaker 5: Two choose before it just turns it absolutely. It's like
Speaker 5: you're eating a vampire in the sun.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 5: But I love those those those candies. Maybe it was
Speaker 5: like a I wish I hadn't brought this up in
Speaker 5: therapy once about the candy that I love. But I
Speaker 5: think maybe it was a hoarding defense mechanism where I
Speaker 5: thought I could get more if I liked what no
Speaker 5: one wanted, like the bad stuff. Wow, And my therapist
Speaker 5: was like, actually, we're done for today or so.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, all that stuff is microplastics. I hope you're
Speaker 1: good with that. I am. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I use them to cote my cast iron.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that. I believe that
Speaker 1: like every piece of gum that you swallow like sits
Speaker 1: in your gut for I'm pretty sure that's been debunked,
Speaker 1: like for fifteen years. I'm pretty sure every piece of
Speaker 1: baseball card gum that I chewed dissolved into my mouth
Speaker 1: and just swallowed it is still with me in some form.
Speaker 5: It's almost the equivalent of a steroid exactly. That all
Speaker 5: the bound stuff Jose Canseco's head that just hits some
Speaker 5: old gum. That's why I bounced so much. See, if
Speaker 5: you liked the TV show Baseball, you would know about
Speaker 5: a character named Jose Conseco, who is more insane than
Speaker 5: any soap opera anyways.
Speaker 1: One of the great yeah, one of the great characters
Speaker 1: of all time.
Speaker 5: Team with his skull.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's a header, man, it's a header.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the dead ceiling crisis was averted as Miles
Speaker 1: You said it would be. You had a feeling like, guys.
Speaker 3: I've been saying this forever as long as and I
Speaker 3: think many other pundits of like, they're gonna do this
Speaker 3: every time, they're gonna go.
Speaker 2: It's a fuck, it could be a disaster, but we're
Speaker 2: gonna find a deal.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna find a.
Speaker 3: Deal, or they'll be like, there's no way we can
Speaker 3: back this kind of spending. We need to clamp down
Speaker 3: on spending. We don't care if the economy goes into
Speaker 3: a shutdown. And they're like, actually, though, don't worry, we're
Speaker 3: gonna find a deal. We're gonna find a deal. It's
Speaker 3: like they had to say one thing for their base
Speaker 3: and then another for the markets, where they're like, don't worry,
Speaker 3: there's still gonna be money. But also for our partisan
Speaker 3: listeners at home, we.
Speaker 6: Don't negotiate with terrorists or we're gonna get them to
Speaker 6: fucking roll back everything about the environment or whatever the
Speaker 6: things that the GOP was going for.
Speaker 3: So you know, we're here, and it again true to
Speaker 3: form the We've just all it would do is arrive
Speaker 3: at a moment where the Republicans would use their majority
Speaker 3: to basically cut spending.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 3: That's all that happens with these like debt ceiling fucking
Speaker 3: crises quote unquote. Is really it's like a time for
Speaker 3: dark money and other people to just be like, hey,
Speaker 3: why don't you guys like just avoid looking at this
Speaker 3: loophole really quick. That allows us to get a lot
Speaker 3: of money to like people that run hedge funds and.
Speaker 2: Things like that. Because a lot of the talk right now,
Speaker 2: depending on where you get your.
Speaker 3: News, it's like the GOP took an l or like
Speaker 3: this is the best Biden could do, Thank God for
Speaker 3: Joe Brandon, or it's like or progressives are like, Joe Brandon.
Speaker 2: Completely fucked that up. Wow, what the fuck was that?
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is they just made it
Speaker 3: very hard to get food stamps now, essentially froze non
Speaker 3: military spending and gave away billions to the wealthy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that's that's really where.
Speaker 5: We're at at the moment, and it's important that we
Speaker 5: keep spending in the two categories of money, non and
Speaker 5: non non military, right, yeah, the two places money can
Speaker 5: go absolutely.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is like when they can barely account
Speaker 3: for their own like like trillions of dollars and assets,
Speaker 3: and like recently there's like a three billion dollar like
Speaker 3: miscalculation that they found and they didn't even make like
Speaker 3: no one even.
Speaker 2: Talked about it.
Speaker 5: I would imagine they were calculating all the debt and
Speaker 5: then someone typed eight zero zero eight five into the calculator,
Speaker 5: showed it to someone, and then that screwed up a
Speaker 5: comma somewhere and three billion dollars was lost seven.
Speaker 2: Seventy three four two oh six.
Speaker 1: Was that go to hell?
Speaker 2: Got em? But yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know about that one.
Speaker 3: It's just like I think again when you look at like,
Speaker 3: for example, the Biden the GOP agreed to not close
Speaker 3: a loophole that's basically a fifty billion dollar giveaway to
Speaker 3: the wealthiest Americans. Like it's it's a pass through loophole
Speaker 3: that allows people to use like a pass through entity
Speaker 3: like a private equity firm or hedge fund, or law
Speaker 3: firms or medical practices to bypass a ten thousand dollars
Speaker 3: limit on state and local tax write offs.
Speaker 5: You know, the things everyone has access to, the things
Speaker 5: You and I have.
Speaker 3: Access to a medical practice because I'm writing off over
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: I feel like I can breathe again now that I
Speaker 1: can write off more than ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: Off three quarters of my yearly salary, right, I mean
Speaker 5: and again, like all like all that would need to
Speaker 5: happen for something like this would just be for like
Speaker 5: the IRS to enforce the fucking laws.
Speaker 3: But guess what the Democrats and Republicans also, they they've
Speaker 3: just agreed, Hey, you know what, we can we cannot
Speaker 3: really fund the IRS. We can slash that budget down
Speaker 3: a little bit because basically means there's less hall monitors
Speaker 3: to pay attention to the tax cheat fuckery. So the
Speaker 3: people that end up winning the wealthy, the people that
Speaker 3: end up losing people in need, like if you're on
Speaker 3: like you know, snap program, or let's say, fucking student debt,
Speaker 3: because now he's essentially codified the end of the student loan.
Speaker 3: Well he's basically saying payments will resume at the end
Speaker 3: of August. So just a rare win for the rich. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's good to see him back.
Speaker 1: Interpations finally got one, and they've been on a long
Speaker 1: losing street.
Speaker 5: They hadn't won anything since earlier in the email.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's just like it's just like a really
Speaker 3: fucking you know, it's the wild thing is like right
Speaker 3: on the right wing, they're like.
Speaker 6: You know, fucking McCarthy screwed us. We're not going to
Speaker 6: vote for this.
Speaker 3: And the Progressives and the Democratic Party like what a
Speaker 3: fucking clown show, Like you could have passed the fucking
Speaker 3: debt ceiling resolution in the lame duck session between the
Speaker 3: election and the like swearing in of the new class
Speaker 3: when you had the votes, but you fucking didn't, and
Speaker 3: now you have to sit down with these fucking creeps
Speaker 3: who are just gonna make you slash more social spending,
Speaker 3: which is the name of the fucking game. And it
Speaker 3: really that really just gives cover to the Democrats to cut.
Speaker 1: Social spending, right, and what their corporate benefactors or corporate
Speaker 1: bosses want anyways, right.
Speaker 3: Because hey, their bosses, they're not going to fuck up
Speaker 3: their their benefactor's financial situation by throwing the economy into
Speaker 3: a fucking manufactured recession, for damn sure. So they're like,
Speaker 3: all right, so here, we'll give you that loophole. We
Speaker 3: won't we won't touch the tax the Trump tax cuts.
Speaker 3: It's just like there's nothing like, so, where are you
Speaker 3: gonna make this revenue from? Not much of their just
Speaker 3: a lot of cuts and shit like that. So uh,
Speaker 3: now the drama will be kicked down the road and
Speaker 3: we'll see if today. I mean they're voting on it today.
Speaker 3: The New York Times is.
Speaker 2: Like, please sign the thing now.
Speaker 5: It's perfect.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's as best as we can do.
Speaker 3: But yeah, right now McCarthy's trying to see if he
Speaker 3: has the votes because that could be the last little
Speaker 3: bit of drama.
Speaker 2: They might hold this thing up.
Speaker 1: They might ask for like every every classroom has an
Speaker 1: assault rifle or not something like that. Like they're like,
Speaker 1: we got to push this through at.
Speaker 3: The last yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, I mean like
Speaker 3: right now, you know, Biden and McCarthy have come together
Speaker 3: to basically like fuck off the wings of their party
Speaker 3: to be be like, all right, you got enough people
Speaker 3: in your pocket, because I got enough people in mind
Speaker 3: that we can push this budget through. Like we can
Speaker 3: lose all of the freedom coccus freaks and all of
Speaker 3: the progressive they can vote against it, but we can
Speaker 3: come together in the name of centrism.
Speaker 2: To get it done.
Speaker 3: And now they're patting themselves on the back and like
Speaker 3: some people like bite it.
Speaker 2: Does it again, and it's like, no, he still got it.
Speaker 5: Sneaky Joe, I'm trying to catch through it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so sneak, sneaker through it all right. America
Speaker 1: is rethinking the whole parking spot thing. So there's there's
Speaker 1: a new book by a guy named Henry Graber that's
Speaker 1: pointing out like specifically New York City could repurpose some
Speaker 1: of its three million curb side parking lots, which would
Speaker 1: then provide but like the amount of space that's taken
Speaker 1: up by parking in just New York City, to put
Speaker 1: things in perspective, is the area equivalent to fifty two
Speaker 1: Central parks. That's like, how is that physically possible? Because
Speaker 1: every street in the city is lined on both sides.
Speaker 5: With everything and there's no alleys in the York Yeah,
Speaker 5: they don't have a could.
Speaker 2: You make fifty two?
Speaker 3: Like what's like, what is the proportion of Central Park
Speaker 3: to Man, I'm sorry, I'm getting like real nerdy here.
Speaker 3: I'm like, could you've said about one fifty tooth of
Speaker 3: the amount of parking that there is? If you need
Speaker 3: to visualize.
Speaker 1: It, that's actually really helpful to put it now, I
Speaker 1: can picture it. Yeah, I mean it wouldn't like you
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to move the buildings around and create
Speaker 1: fifty two central parks obviously, Like the equivalent square footage
Speaker 1: is what they're saying, equivalent square footage.
Speaker 5: You know how your intestines are like seven thousand miles
Speaker 5: long or whatever they are. That's what parking is like
Speaker 5: in New York City.
Speaker 2: And look mush them above.
Speaker 5: You're like, there's no way that my crap a watch
Speaker 5: could fit.
Speaker 2: And do all that, and now unwind it.
Speaker 5: Parks there's and then that makes the sidewalks where the
Speaker 5: trash goes right exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, that is one of the things people are pointing
Speaker 1: out is like it would make it possible for there
Speaker 1: to be proper trash storage so that you could actually,
Speaker 1: you know, put trash in New York City in contain. No,
Speaker 1: it does not currently happen. And it's why New York
Speaker 1: is synonymous with like having a horrible swarming rat problem.
Speaker 5: Not only does it not happen. When you type that
Speaker 5: sentence out in the dock, a red squiggly line goes
Speaker 5: underneath it. That's like how little New York has for
Speaker 5: trash cleanup.
Speaker 1: But like just living in New York there are like
Speaker 1: these massive snow banks of trash on the sidewalk. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's it's truly wild.
Speaker 3: I remember as a kid we put like we pushed
Speaker 3: our friend into it when we're walking because they're like, dude,
Speaker 3: when he gets next to just fucking launched him in
Speaker 3: and he disappeared.
Speaker 2: We haven't seen him since I just shouldered him.
Speaker 5: If you don't do it down that opportunity, you can
Speaker 5: do it nine feet later at the slightly larger Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think that I don't think this was an efficient
Speaker 5: way for cities to rebuild. But New york Is has
Speaker 5: never quite fully burned down like like San Francisco and
Speaker 5: Chicago like to do. And what happened when San Francisco
Speaker 5: and Chicago burned down those parts of the city have
Speaker 5: nice alleyways for storing trash.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that's I think maybe this parking thing
Speaker 5: is a better idea than purpose fire, but oh yeah,
Speaker 5: not a city planner.
Speaker 1: Precision Arson is your solution, Kyle, to every problem that
Speaker 1: we raised, really really reporting.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, everything from like yeah, like protecting our democracy
Speaker 3: like ceiling.
Speaker 5: Yeah, precision firing. Now it's the debt sky, that's right, which.
Speaker 2: This thing out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think, Yeah, New York just got
Speaker 3: nine to eleven and we got a police state.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 5: Lower Manhattan has tons of places to store trash.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true.
Speaker 5: You have to rebuild a lot to make these alleys.
Speaker 3: And yeah, really and really cool camera raised just jetting
Speaker 3: up from everywhere to be like, what is this.
Speaker 2: Like, we're looking at you, We're looking at you mother.
Speaker 5: No, it's it's made everything safe forever.
Speaker 1: But so our writer Jam kind of looked back at
Speaker 1: some some past examples. We've talked about Paris, we've talked
Speaker 1: about some cities in the Netherlands. A Zurich back in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six flat out stated there would be no
Speaker 1: more parking in the city, Like if the developer wanted
Speaker 1: to create new parking spaces, they would be required to
Speaker 1: remove that many parking spaces from the city streets.
Speaker 5: I love that. That's like a nightclub. It's like one in,
Speaker 5: one out, Yeah, exactly, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fire marshals there with the clicker.
Speaker 3: Hey, sorry, I'm sorry, you need a few more outl
Speaker 3: holding a clicker.
Speaker 1: Paris has been removing street parking, replacing it with underground facilities.
Speaker 1: And last year they passed a law requiring parking lots
Speaker 1: big enough to hold around fifty American sized cars. I
Speaker 1: love the we stand for something in the global community, the.
Speaker 5: American sized cars. It is the hot dog car from
Speaker 5: I think you should leave it right.
Speaker 1: If it can hold fifty American sized cars. They're required
Speaker 1: to build raised solar panel canopies covering at least half
Speaker 1: of the surface of the parking lot, which would be
Speaker 1: the equivalent of ten nuclear power plants. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's cool. It seems like these.
Speaker 3: Are all positive ideas for Hey, just with that, you'd
Speaker 3: have nice clear streets and.
Speaker 2: The power of ten nuclear power plants. Like would seem.
Speaker 5: Like the meekest superhero origin story, right, Solar Man he
Speaker 5: could be called like the Paris Accord because he was
Speaker 5: providing his his Honda and accidentally got electrocuted by the
Speaker 5: solar panel and now he's just pretty attuned to traffic flow.
Speaker 1: And then Berlin one neighborhood experiment with getting rid of
Speaker 1: putting spots altogether and are like allowing bikes and scooters
Speaker 1: to occupy spaces that used to be exclusive to cars.
Speaker 1: So this is all like these are great. When you
Speaker 1: look at pictures of these places, it's like, here's what
Speaker 1: it used to look like, and it's like an American
Speaker 1: city and now here's what it looks looks like. And
Speaker 1: there's just like all these amazing creative things that they're
Speaker 1: doing with all the sidewalk space, and you know, like
Speaker 1: they have things called bike highways and paris that are
Speaker 1: just what used to be streets that are now now
Speaker 1: you know, parks with bike lanes going through them. Essentially
Speaker 1: in the US, so there are around two billion parking
Speaker 1: spaces in the country, which amounts to nearly seven parking
Speaker 1: spaces for every car, which seems like too many.
Speaker 2: Guns in parking are a nucle American problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's got a level out if you just like
Speaker 5: get rid of Houston, right, Yeah, maybe, like all of
Speaker 5: these statistics.
Speaker 1: Like there was just a move at the like when
Speaker 1: cars first became a thing, Like they encoded all these laws,
Speaker 1: these like zoning codes that mandated minimum parking requirements for
Speaker 1: real estate projects that basically said that when a new
Speaker 1: building goes up, there's a minimum number of parking spaces
Speaker 1: that need to be provided, or like the city will
Speaker 1: fall apart else and like everyone has been like that.
Speaker 1: Turns out that's not the case. Jackson, Wyoming, a study
Speaker 1: found that there were twenty seven spaces for every home, So.
Speaker 5: There's just wait, you're telling me there's fifty four parking
Speaker 5: spaces in Jackson, Wyleman.
Speaker 1: That's right, but it was actually like inverted at this time,
Speaker 1: Like when these zoning restrictions went into place. The cool
Speaker 1: thing was like among young people, like was driving like
Speaker 1: that was and like public transportation was like what the
Speaker 1: old people were into and used. But like driving was
Speaker 1: seen as like individualistic and like you controlled your own
Speaker 1: destiny and like that's the book on the road is
Speaker 1: like the bible for this shit. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: it feels like now we have an opportunity with a
Speaker 1: generation coming up that like doesn't even get their license
Speaker 1: at the same rate as ever before, right, and that
Speaker 1: think cars are shit. So it seems like there should
Speaker 1: be an opportunity here to roll some of the shit back.
Speaker 1: But it's just a matter of you know, getting out
Speaker 1: from under this massive system that Yeah.
Speaker 5: There's one thing I've found, It's that Americans are generally
Speaker 5: receptive to wide sweeping change. So I think if this
Speaker 5: is presented on a local and a national level and
Speaker 5: they hear it from anyone they don't care for, they'll
Speaker 5: be in. This is something they'll jump on board for us.
Speaker 1: Listen to reason on this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have like these dumb fucking zoning laws and
Speaker 3: like the worshiping of parking spaces and we're I think
Speaker 3: we've talked about the past how cars are getting too
Speaker 3: big for fucking parking spaces because every car manufacturers like
Speaker 3: people will buy bigger cars for more money, so just
Speaker 3: make them fucking gigantic to the point you can't even
Speaker 3: park them in the old parking spaces. And a lot
Speaker 3: of that has to do with the National Automobile Dealers
Speaker 3: Association because they're just like a massive lobbying group and they,
Speaker 3: you know, they got all the dealers on one page,
Speaker 3: and like they definitely help push through a lot of
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff too that I.
Speaker 5: Don't have like a massively informed knowledge on this, but
Speaker 5: I do know that tire companies like Firestone were very
Speaker 5: big on sabotaging transit in Los Angeles. Oh yeah, Los
Speaker 5: Angeles used to have like a huge amount of ray
Speaker 5: rail systems like above ground, like San Francisco style rail
Speaker 5: cars and then they just pushed away. They were invested
Speaker 5: in by a company that was essentially funded by Firestone
Speaker 5: and General Motors that just was like, we should get
Speaker 5: rid of all these and make it impossible to get
Speaker 5: around this because LA used to have so many more stops.
Speaker 5: Transit system.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you look at the old layout of that
Speaker 2: old system, your your eyes would water.
Speaker 3: And I mentioned this on a past episode like growing up,
Speaker 3: like you'd you'd you'd like trip over the old infrastructure
Speaker 3: like in the street and you're like, what the fuck
Speaker 3: is this? Yeah, and it's like the like the asphalt
Speaker 3: is like revealing a little bit of the track. And
Speaker 3: then some older person's like that's when.
Speaker 1: The trolley used to come through here.
Speaker 2: And you're like, no fucking way, get away. Get in
Speaker 2: my mind.
Speaker 5: Uh, it was like it would be from like Long Beach,
Speaker 5: Santa Monica. This is just super specific to LA, but
Speaker 5: like massive and sprawling all the way out through the
Speaker 5: valley and everything. Yeah, just completely replaced because for some
Speaker 5: reason a tire company wanted more cars. Yeah, and even
Speaker 5: buses instead of the transit, which are a lot less
Speaker 5: efficient and harder to track and things like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was that, and also just that
Speaker 1: it was like seen as cool, Like it really was
Speaker 1: like scene as cool. I mean they still are early freedom.
Speaker 1: You know, you're sixteen, you can get out of your
Speaker 1: house and go somewhere on your own, and yeah, go small,
Speaker 1: that workout, look right. Sausage actually made him seem really cool.
Speaker 5: I just saw a statue of him up at the
Speaker 5: observatory there.
Speaker 1: There are some US cities getting rid of the minimum
Speaker 1: parking requirements, at least there's been fifteen and twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two alone, which it also has an impact on the
Speaker 1: housing crisis because when you like are building something that
Speaker 1: requires you to build a bunch of like find a
Speaker 1: bunch of parking spots for it, it just like changes
Speaker 1: how you approach the thing. It makes it way more expensive,
Speaker 1: and then those costs get folded into the costs to
Speaker 1: the builder. Oh wait, no, sorry, folded into the rent
Speaker 1: or the price always regardless of weather or not.
Speaker 5: You love to pass those savings on to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, just get you. You guys want in
Speaker 2: on this too. We're thinking about going in on some parking.
Speaker 2: You guys want it all right? Why not?
Speaker 1: That's right? Also Apparently we have a big problem with
Speaker 1: people murdering each other over parking spaces, which I wasn't
Speaker 1: aware of.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's an annual, multi dozen occurrence. Apparently. It
Speaker 2: was weird.
Speaker 5: I mean, I took a guy's parking spot that he
Speaker 5: really wanted. He was really angry, and then I tried saying, no, no,
Speaker 5: there's seven of these for every car in America.
Speaker 1: He wasn't listening to reasons.
Speaker 5: That didn't calm him down.
Speaker 2: And you should have.
Speaker 3: You should have an abundance mentality, sir, not a scarcity mentality.
Speaker 1: I went for a car.
Speaker 5: I drove up to Griffith Observatory with my dog and
Speaker 5: we're hanging out up there and there was so little
Speaker 5: parking that people are like almost fighting each other to
Speaker 5: pay ten dollars an hour.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I had that same experience and just turned around,
Speaker 1: was like, well, this has been a nice ride.
Speaker 2: Drove off at the edge of the cliff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, it just drove into the ocean.
Speaker 5: That's having the o'doyle family. No parking, It just went
Speaker 5: right off.
Speaker 2: You know what, it's how about we go to the
Speaker 2: ocean and get our whole ship bit instead, rather do
Speaker 2: that than this crap.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's like it really does bring the weirdest
Speaker 3: ship out of people, because I feel like on the
Speaker 3: internet you always see videos of like people who like
Speaker 3: stand in a fucking parking space, like with their hands
Speaker 3: on their hips and they're like, no, go around, go
Speaker 3: around is coming with the cartes away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my husband's almost born.
Speaker 2: And it kind of and I get so like fucking
Speaker 2: incensed by seeing those videos, and I'm like, I like,
Speaker 2: for what, And I you can tell when you know
Speaker 2: how shit can go left in those situations because people
Speaker 2: are so fucking protective or exercises bizarre, fucked up sense
Speaker 2: of ownership.
Speaker 5: I think Chicago has like wild unwritten rules about chairing
Speaker 5: off snow space that you've dug out, like if your
Speaker 5: car was if it snows around your car, you're allowed
Speaker 5: to put a folding chair and keep that spot for
Speaker 5: the day if you've done the work, if you've done
Speaker 5: the work or something like that. And you know, you
Speaker 5: know the thing about those unwritten rules is everyone loves them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, someone just throws that chair forty feet and parked there.
Speaker 1: You are allowed to key their car and take a
Speaker 1: shit on the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that gang. Let us know. What are the weird
Speaker 2: parking laws?
Speaker 5: Right? There has to be I feel like there's a
Speaker 5: lot of this weird unwritten stuff that exists. Can you
Speaker 5: cover the sidewalk? Does a chair take a spot where?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 5: I mean, there's got to It feels like city to
Speaker 5: city and town to town is like a different I.
Speaker 3: Was always blown away, like when I was in Seattle recently,
Speaker 3: how people just park on the wrong side of the
Speaker 3: road too, Like just they're like, yep, I don't know,
Speaker 3: fuck it, park on whatever side I want to to
Speaker 3: park this car. And like as in like La Person
Speaker 3: where we have just such fucking draconian like parking enforcement rules.
Speaker 3: I'm like, is that is that's allowed here in this
Speaker 3: musical town?
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll talk some
Speaker 1: shit about Seattle off Mike and then no, I'll come back. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. But what the fuck they part of
Speaker 1: the opposite way? What's wrong with them?
Speaker 5: And how did that work out for Kurt Cobain, Thank
Speaker 5: you and Jimmy Hendrix. That's true, that's right.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be right back and we're back and
Speaker 1: answer mix a lot. Answer Did you fly into Seattle?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Walked you walked. Yeah, typical man.
Speaker 3: I wasn't on I wasn't on parental I was walking
Speaker 3: to Seattle and then I flew back just like three months.
Speaker 2: Wait, why are you asking the question?
Speaker 1: I just that airport. I was like there for a
Speaker 1: single day, and that airport I ended up spending like
Speaker 1: two hours there, and there's like, hey, this is Duff
Speaker 1: McKagan from Guns and Roses, Like yeah, kind of blew
Speaker 1: me away.
Speaker 5: There's just like, yeah, I like cities that don't have
Speaker 5: any famous people that they're just like, hey, this is
Speaker 5: Bob mckendricks.
Speaker 1: You know me?
Speaker 2: Do I?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 5: Are you the most famous guy for I have no
Speaker 5: idea who you are?
Speaker 3: Celebrity pipe fitter, Duff mckag and Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, Macklamore,
Speaker 3: All Star lineup, Darius Rock Oh no wait that's oh no,
Speaker 3: that's Nashville.
Speaker 2: You get Darius Rucker.
Speaker 1: I can't think of anyone I would more want to
Speaker 1: have asked me if my possessions have been with me
Speaker 1: the entire time I was parking, then Maclamore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you got your things from a thrift shop.
Speaker 1: Hey, and I know you said that up top. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's been me, Macklamore.
Speaker 3: That's me, Macklamore, the white guy who won the Grammy
Speaker 3: over what was it over Kendrick O.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yes, over over one of the greatest, most persevering,
Speaker 5: long lasting holds up rap albums of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you think they're like white rap bands who are like, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Think there were old Grammy voters who were who were like, oh,
Speaker 5: Ryan Lewis is an accessible name.
Speaker 2: Right, right, Hendrick Lemar I don't.
Speaker 5: Know about the breast doughnut place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right?
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Pedro Pascal, Speaking of famous people, a lot of people
Speaker 1: were first introduced to Pedro Pascal in Game of Thrones
Speaker 1: and unintroduced to him or said goodbye to him and
Speaker 1: his characters. Most memorable scene in which he fights the mountain.
Speaker 1: We're all rooting for him and the mountain gets a
Speaker 1: hold of that noggin, the hold of that melon, and yeah,
Speaker 1: take those face eggs and uh pops them with his thumbs.
Speaker 1: So he scouts his eyes out with his thumbs. Burned
Speaker 1: into my memory, my heart. So it became were you
Speaker 1: fucked up? When Ober and Martell like, did you think
Speaker 1: he had a chance to I guess I did a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 5: I think as I was watching it, I was like,
Speaker 5: I feel like that scene of that is how all
Speaker 5: of Succession felt all of the time. Yeah, where you're like, oh,
Speaker 5: he's got a chance. Oh it's way worse than I
Speaker 5: thought it could have been. He might win. Oh my god,
Speaker 5: not only has he lost, but it's gonna work.
Speaker 2: Out for her. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. Wow.
Speaker 1: Ships really on a roll and this one, I bet
Speaker 1: it's just gonna keep going like this. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think they did a good job of just like getting
Speaker 1: you in the cadence of the show and like he
Speaker 1: was a hero and it felt like everything was her own.
Speaker 2: Yeah. For sure.
Speaker 1: It's both like a hard moment to watch and like
Speaker 1: wasn't fun at the time. But also I think what
Speaker 1: made that show great is though he was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is how hishappens, like the guy that you're all
Speaker 1: hoping for just because like vincible.
Speaker 5: Yeah right, he felt a little more invincible too because
Speaker 5: he was outside of these major fans. He was like
Speaker 5: a cool guy who didn't care about the main fight. Yeh,
Speaker 5: was like and very yeah yeah yeah, but he's too happy.
Speaker 2: Yeah anyway, so what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Yes, that moment became so famous that he has recreated
Speaker 1: on the red carpet of a Game of Thrones event
Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen. He looks like he was a
Speaker 1: little drunk when he did that, just having a good time.
Speaker 1: He got his thumbs in his eyes and his tongue out.
Speaker 2: He looks drunk as fuck.
Speaker 3: It's really like it says if Game of Thrones it
Speaker 3: like a collaboration with the Budweiser frods, or like the
Speaker 3: Budweiser was up guys, because he's sort of like like, looks.
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone look more mid in my life anyways.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, good sport. Uh, and in fact, such a
Speaker 1: good sport. He just revealed during a Hollywood Reporter Act
Speaker 1: a roundtable that fans often wanted to take selfies recreating
Speaker 1: this scene with their thumbs right in his eyes. The
Speaker 1: gall like that is so and even wilder than that. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I I can't believe that one person came up
Speaker 1: with this request, let alone multiple people. Maybe maybe like
Speaker 1: the first person posted on the gram and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: oh I need I need that on my wall. But he, uh,
Speaker 1: he let them.
Speaker 2: Do this, like they go Hey, is it cool if
Speaker 2: you flick it up Pedro? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey can I put my thumbs in your eyes
Speaker 3: like I'm gouging them out?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, of course that's what people ask people. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: it was pre COVID times. I hope you know, we
Speaker 1: didn't know how disgusting everyone was. But yeah, he let
Speaker 1: random strangers shove their disgusting thumbs into his eyes just
Speaker 1: to snap a picture because he was quote so happy
Speaker 1: about the success of the character in the show. But
Speaker 1: because people are grossing, their hands weren't clean. He got
Speaker 1: a bit of an eye infection as a result.
Speaker 5: So it just cuts to like that Paul Rudd saying,
Speaker 5: that's how you get pink eye situation.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 5: I think a similar thing happened with Giancarlo Esposito, where
Speaker 5: he let too many people singe off half of his
Speaker 5: face for selfies to where now he has some irreparable scarring.
Speaker 2: Ye oh my god, Carlo, do you.
Speaker 5: Mind if I I brought a bell half of it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I brought a bell.
Speaker 2: Shout out to that bell. But yeah, I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean it's kind of it's funny because his like
Speaker 3: the lore of Pedro Pascal is like he's like a
Speaker 3: nice guy. Like everyone seemed to say that he's like
Speaker 3: really cool and nice or whatever, but it's just funny.
Speaker 3: It's like to the point that he will like, let
Speaker 3: you rub your bacteria laden fingertips all over his ocular
Speaker 3: cavities and you know, we're just having a bit of
Speaker 3: an eye infection, which also sounds like him playing.
Speaker 2: Off something really horrific, right, yeah, like what was it?
Speaker 1: Like? Was it just worming its way out of his
Speaker 1: eyes in real time?
Speaker 3: It was actually used as concept art for one of
Speaker 3: the zombies in the Last of Us because my eyes.
Speaker 2: Are so fucking far gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of eye stuff with this guy anyways.
Speaker 1: A true hero who needs to work on his boundaries,
Speaker 1: I would say, when speaking of true heroes that need
Speaker 1: to work on their boundaries. Kyle, such a pleasure having
