00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really,

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Dai? Um, I

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: think that sleeping in the same bed as your romantic

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: partner is overrated. UM. I say this because, um, I

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: told my partner, like right pretty early into our relationship

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: that this is what I require that we have, like

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: separate bed, separate rooms. Um. And I know sometimes people

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: wind up in that situation like after they've had a

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: fight or their relationship is starting to dissolve or whatever,

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: but I was like, I want this from the start.

14
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand why, like being in love means you

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: lose your bed. That's I don't know if this is

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: just like I'm a life sleeper or I'm an only child,

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: but I'm just like, I think everyone else is weird,

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I know our situation is unusual compared

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: to everyone else, but I'm like, no, why are you

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: doing this? Like for you? You do you just don't

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: want to see you bet I don't want to share.

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: I just I'm like, sleeping time is for me. I

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I have like I was when I was

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: still living alone, I got a queen bed because that's

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: how much space I want. Like I'm gonna be outstretched

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: in like a star shape in the center of my

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: back and yeah, just happy because I'm a queen. I

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: just don't think that that should be taken away from me.

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't know if under if do

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: people understand like sex doesn't have to be it doesn't

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: have to happen to sleep. Yeah, Like, I don't know

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: why these things are combined. Yeah, there's like there's something culturally.

33
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I think we saw like grandparents do that with like

34
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: the separate beds, and like I remember they're being like

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: black and white TV shows where you would see it

36
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: and people are just like, well that's for prudes. Let's

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: sen moving to the Brady Bunch era from that. But

38
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want my own room, not just my

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: own bed, like my space just to be me. And

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: I definitely have read like research that says that that

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: is like a more progressive or like a great way

42
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: to um, you know, keep a relationship healthy. And like

43
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: if you're saying Delia, like, if you are a light sleeper,

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing that will get you more off of your

45
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: ship than like not sleeping restfully that you'll carry into

46
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: the next day. Because like at my house, my partner,

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: her majesty, she likes to have all the fucking pets

48
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: on the bed, so I sleep in these contorted positions

49
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: where pets occupy the negative spaces that I am not,

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: and sometimes like but then I in my mind, I'm like,

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to disrupt the little cat right now,

52
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: so I don't want to move my arm, And then

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: I'm like sucking myself over. If I had my own bed,

54
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen sort of, it might become I'm a real pioneer. Yeah, no,

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: for real. That's yeah. That's like there's all sorts of

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: like whack things that are like really good for relationships,

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: like seemingly whack, like scheduling, like intimacy being like all right,

58
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday, eight o'clock time for like weekly cuddle sessh

59
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: or whatever and meantime um, and yeah that this is

60
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: definitely a good one. I've I've been struggling with similar thing,

61
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: but with kids Uh, my wife likes to have like

62
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: doesn't mind when the kids come into our room in

63
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and comes snuggle, and then

64
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I just get kicked to the fucking curve. I just

65
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: think there's something to be like, we love each other

66
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: and I want to keep loving him, and I think

67
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: there's something to be said for just kind of like

68
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: maintaining a relationship with yourself while you're in a relationship.

69
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Credit to you for knowing what your needs are and

70
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: communicating them up front clearly from the beginning, which is

71
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: what most people do not do, and then they end

72
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: up being resentful and like, why did you break up?

73
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: It's like I should have just said we needed separate

74
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: beds from the jump. Yeah, I couldn't sleep, right, I

75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: just I just realized it sounds like I'm just alone

76
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: in my room jerking off all day. But that's not

77
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: what I meant. Nothing nothing. Where's that USB charger the

78
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: one that for that package that came that had the

79
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: very vague label on it? Are you like an affectionate person? Though? Like?

80
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: Are you? That doesn't mean because I think a natural

81
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: conclusion be like separate beds, like no touching, No I

82
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: am I like cuddling. I'm a cuddler, but I'm like,

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: there's a time and a place and it's not when

84
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping. Like get your arm away from me? Is

85
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Looking like Ship is underrated?

86
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Like what's up with like on Instagram? Like all these

87
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: things to make you look better and stuff like I

88
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: had a week last week of looking like Ship and

89
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: I was so fucking happy and giggly, and it was

90
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: like looking like today I have. I just got this

91
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: haircut which is kind of a mullet, which is cool

92
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: when I like, you know, it looks good. But if

93
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't put product and stuff, it justs straight up.

94
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: I look like Eileen Warns type, you know, like, oh man,

95
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: please she Charlie s there and played her. She looks

96
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: a disaster, give me the warn Yeah. I looked like

97
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: that for an entire week. And that was my giggly week.

98
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: And my husband was like, yeah, you know you don't

99
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: like you're not trying, but but you're happy. Can't look

100
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: at you. But but it was great. It was my

101
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: favorite week in a long time. Yeah, it's empowering. That's

102
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: why I think. Yeah, I mean, i feel like I'm

103
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: hoping that there's something about fashion that changes as a

104
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: result of us like taking you know, a year plus

105
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: of not having to dress to impress that. Like if

106
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: there's another like a movement that comes out of it

107
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: called like shit wave, Like I mean that's what norm

108
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: core is, isn't it. Like that's when I went to Berlin.

109
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: It was like people try to look like ship. Yeah,

110
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: but now I think it's gonna be like it's more

111
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: it's like jazz baby, Like there's no rhyme or reason

112
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: to it. Like you got to come out just feel

113
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: playing your own first. Yeah, just out with a comforter

114
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: around exactly. Yeah, just wrapped around your head, or like

115
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: if it's raining, you were one of those translucent like

116
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: bags your sheet sets come in just on top of

117
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: your head, like umbrella. You're like, oh man, look at

118
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: that ship wave umbrella. You got ah. I love you guys.

119
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean are people Are people going to be wearing

120
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: like uncomfortable clothes again, I can't imagine like wearing a

121
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: like I mean, I guess there's still people who are

122
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: wearing suits to work and ship right now, which is insane. Yeah,

123
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: who wears I don't know, I mean, is there I

124
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: mean personally, is there anything that you've looked at your

125
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: own clothing said, you know what now that through this pandemic,

126
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm never wearing that again. I don't think I have

127
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: I dressed so I dressed so comfortably. In general, it's

128
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 1: more like I'm only going to wear like these three

129
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: hoodies now forever, not the scratchy hoodie exactly. Not long ago,

130
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: it was my sister's birthday, and I don't know what

131
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: happened to me, but I bought her this like vinyl

132
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: dress and she opened it. I saw it in her

133
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: face and I said, why the fund did I buy?

134
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: We just all started. I was like, you're never gonna

135
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: wear that? And she was like never, like late text

136
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: and the worst I also thought her to wear with

137
00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: the late text dress this like heavy gold chain. You

138
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: just have a very specific vision for your sister that

139
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: she hasn't quite realized for herself yet. But like I

140
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: feel that like when you're giving a gift, Like it's

141
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: like watching a movie that you recommended with someone you

142
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: can't fully appreciate, Like like you you start feeling like

143
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: insecure about it, and like that's when you really have

144
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: an idea of it, Like I feel like a gift.

145
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't fully like understand how good or bad the

146
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: gift is until the person is about to open it,

147
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, shit, they're gonna fucking hate this.

148
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: Just so nervous too, or like you're kind of putting

149
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: it together at the zero hour. Actually not uh oh man,

150
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: that to your gift. Yeah, yeah, actually, don't open it.

151
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: Don't open it. No, it's it's so true though. I

152
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: got my friend, we had a gift exchange for Christmas,

153
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: and I got him a set of Fraggle Rock stuffed animals.

154
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: It does, but it's like he just moved into a

155
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: new nice apartment and they're like large, and it was

156
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: all the battle routes. You're gonna need a room for this.

157
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna need a Fraggle room. That's amazing. They're bringing

158
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Fraggle Rock back for I think HBO exciting times. I'm

159
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: into it, not into reboots, but this one I think

160
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: they're going to do right. Yeah. I think when they

161
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: like bring the Muppets back or the Fraggles or like,

162
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: it's usually fine yeah, yeah, yeah, we're pro fragle over.

163
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: Let's change gears and talk about There's an article in

164
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: the Herald Media last week about how zombie movies are

165
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: taking over in Korea right now or have been, I

166
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: guess for the past couple of decades, and they're basically

167
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: predicting that it's coming back in America. There's a remake

168
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: of Trained to Bousong coming to Hollywood that's going to

169
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: they're predicting might kick off the next wave of zombie movies. Um,

170
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: which that we've talked before about how like when a

171
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Republican is in office there's an uptick in zombie movies

172
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: because zombies, like just the mindless, groaning hordes is how

173
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: Democrats view the Republicans. And then when there's a Democrat

174
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: in office, there's an uptick in vampire movies because like

175
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: euro like sexual accented deviance is how Republicans view democrats.

176
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: Um But I feel like, I don't know. I feel

177
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: like now that we are, now that Trump happened, like

178
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: all bets are off. It's like we don't need a

179
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: Republican to be in office to be afraid of of

180
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the people around us. I mean, fucking the January six

181
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: look like fucking World War Z in a way, you

182
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We just saw this fucking flow

183
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: of bodies, just like, what the fun is going on here?

184
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: It's actual zombies, like all of like those viral videos

185
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: of people like banging on doors like let me in

186
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: without a mask or whatever like zombies. Yeah, I'm actually

187
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: kind of suppressed. Like this article made me surprised that

188
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: zombie movies haven't like started blowing up even more, like

189
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: more haven't been coming out in the past, like it's

190
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: just ahead of the game and always. Yeah, because I've

191
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: seen Kingdom on Netflix that series, No, you know, this

192
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: ship is dope. It's like a it's like a period

193
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: like thriller piece, uh like where it's like old school Korea,

194
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: but then there's zombies on top of that ship. It's

195
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: that ship is wild. Um, but yeah, I check that

196
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: out on Netflix. I'm like only through the first couple episodes,

197
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, there's like something I think, yeah, that they're

198
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: sensing something clearly that because I feel like, yeah, the

199
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: more we look at like our news, I'm also finding

200
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: myself like interested in zombie content again. Like I was

201
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: like trying to find this game I just play Left

202
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: for Dead where you're it's like four people fighting a

203
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: bunch of zombies. I'm like that's just tight um, And yeah,

204
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: I think because I feel, yeah, there's on some level

205
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: there's like this feeling of like is it me and

206
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: a few other people and then a lot of nonsense

207
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: around right right, But also like they're starting to be

208
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: so realistic like zombies in movies, Like they seem so

209
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: much like people that I feel like they're gonna have

210
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: to give them something, like they're gonna have to like

211
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: start flying or something, you know, right, yeah, yeah, some

212
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: other path were that to differentiate them from real people.

213
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: The ability to cancel anyone, Oh my god, don't go there, Miles,

214
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: Oh my god. On top of fearing that they're the

215
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: four people fearing that they're going to get eaten by zombies,

216
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: they also fear that the zombies will cancel. Yeah, Like

217
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: what's worse. They're like, no, they might eat like they

218
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: can cancel you though, well hold on, that's that's the

219
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: less of a threat to you. Maybe, yeah, to you,

220
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: but there's only four of us left. Still still well,

221
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to wear this Blue Lives Matter shirt

222
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: around them because I don't know what's going to happen,

223
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: what they might tell their others on I don't know,

224
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: you don't know. Oh my god, well let's get worked.

225
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: Let's start working on this. Yeah. I think it's funnier.

226
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: I think it's funnier to just sort of lambasted liberal

227
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: politics with this. Then it would be the other way.

228
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just waive in my mind, there's just

229
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: way more. There's there's way more to mind through like

230
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: liberal thinking than just being like, we get it, it's

231
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: ignorance or whatever. This like high like a high minded

232
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: idiot zombie who's going to cancel you? Like yeah, and

233
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: just the we're all ground into mindless automatons by by capitalism.

234
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: So that's how we'll bring the country together. There are

235
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: are zombie show that makes fun of liberals that liberals like,

236
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there's something there. And then for people like

237
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: on the Red yeah, fuck, it's just looking great. I

238
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: like that you even added a little bit of chaw

239
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: into the person's mouth who you were just impersonating, fucking

240
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: horseshoe down here. Let's take a quick break and we'll

241
00:15:50,280 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: be right back to talk. Some knees and we're back

242
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: and the January sixers, Uh, I do like who would

243
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: be the start in five? I mean obviously yeah, um,

244
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: Trump at the Trump running is playing point guard? Yeah,

245
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: cu Shaman, I don't know. Is he like a small forward? Yeah?

246
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: Actually maybe maybe Trump is embiid uh, this is the

247
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: ego is center egos at the five Arkansas dude about

248
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: his feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk, Yeah, either way for

249
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: real post or not? I mean yeah, So this whole story,

250
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: it keeps evolving or not evolving. They just they're more

251
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: ridiculous stories about the arrogance. I don't know what I

252
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: thought it. I thought it was over what the he

253
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: going on? Um? So we talked about Federico Klein last week,

254
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: who sounds like the off brand and underwear designer but

255
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: as actually was a Trump State Department appointee, and how

256
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: he was arrested for you know, assaulting officers with a

257
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: riot shield and other violent crimes and you know, felonies.

258
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: But either way, now that he's in custody, he had

259
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: some concerns about the conditions at his like hearing. He

260
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: told the judge quote, I wonder if there's a place

261
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: where I can stay in detention where I don't have

262
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: cockroaches crawling over me while I attempt to sleep. I mean, really,

263
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: I really haven't slept all that much, your honor. It

264
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: would be nice if I could just sleep in a

265
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: place where there were knock cockroaches everywhere, your on her,

266
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: your honor cockroaches much. He's like being like sarcastic um

267
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: power user on trip Advisor. I could fund this whole

268
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: thing up with one review. Okay, so think about it

269
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: before I before I leave a review in this courtroom

270
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: and the detention facility here and wherever it was. I mean, wow, okay,

271
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: because we've seen this, this whole sense of like, but

272
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm white, don't treat me like the other people. There's

273
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: two justice systems. That's why I stormed the capitol because

274
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: I knew that. And now you want to treat me

275
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: like every other person that you brutalize with your fun

276
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: up legal system. Hell no. So I mean, like, look,

277
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: if Q Shaman got organic food and the other lady

278
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: got to go to Cancun and the judges like Yang

279
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: going Cancun trip, I mean, honestly, he might be in

280
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: the st regis by tonight. I mean, obviously, as a society,

281
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: we should not be putting people in cages where cockroaches

282
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: crawl over them. Period. It's just wild that The only

283
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: times we hear about it is when it happens to

284
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein or somebody who was trying to overthrow the government.

285
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: Well employed by the government, right, um, basically Republicans. If

286
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: it happens to Republicans, we hear about right. The other

287
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: one is there was another guy who was at the

288
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: at the capitol that day. He was arrested at JFK

289
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: because he attempted to flee to Kenya on the tour.

290
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: So on they he flew to Kenya and then the

291
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Kenyans deported him last week. They're like, wait, what the funk? No,

292
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: bye go, and then the FBI just got his ass

293
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: at at JFK. But again, these are the kinds of

294
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: uh like solutions that these people think will work. And

295
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: the other man who was arrested, this guy, he was

296
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: a business owner from Montana. So yeah, Isaac Steve Sturgeon,

297
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: mm hmm, I don't know, Yeah, I've read about this guy.

298
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: What what would you learn? I mean, it just reminded

299
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: me of like in Queens, we have a lot of

300
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: like racial because it's the so diverse, we have a

301
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: lot of racial tension everywhere, and I'm used to seeing

302
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: white races do white racist stuff then run home to

303
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: co op like black culture for their enjoyment. So like

304
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: in this case, Isaac Sturgeon or whoever he is, he

305
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: did his like white racist stuff in Capitol Hill then

306
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: like co opted Africa just like he was like, I'm

307
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: going to the source. Here's my costco card of white supremacy.

308
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get Kenya. I need

309
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: to go back to the cradle of life. You know

310
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, get down, you know you feel me

311
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: my newbie and kings and queens. Wait what, I'm sorry,

312
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: but anyway, funck Barack Obama, Wait, hold on, this is

313
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's just so confusing, it must be exhausting.

314
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: But again they've found their way into the the wonderful

315
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: embrace of the FBI. Mm hmm uh. I do wonder

316
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: if he was going over there to like on some

317
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: berther ship to try and or like Montana, sounds like

318
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: you're a big game hunter and maybe you could let's

319
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: pretend you're like Alma do like I'm gonna go kill

320
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: African things to blow some steam off from the insurrection.

321
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: But because like that feels like a you know, like

322
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: I know, there's a lot of big game, but what

323
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: was the other story, like in the beginning of Trump administration,

324
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: some like big game hunters from Montana and stuff going

325
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: to wherever. But yeah, it could be it. I don't know,

326
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: but either way it didn't work. The point about it

327
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: being exhausting, uh, kind of brings me this last thing

328
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to just bring up in the context as

329
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: a sort of an ongoing question. But like I was

330
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: saying in the intro, Adam Curtis his name is the

331
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: documentary director of Hypernormalization. Just released a six part documentary

332
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: on the BBC Can't Get You Out of My Head,

333
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: and you can find it. You can watch it on

334
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: YouTube for free. Like. One of the arguments that he

335
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: makes is that culture like both online culture uh and

336
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: culture like music, movies, TV like this sort of ship

337
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: that culture wars are fought over is something that has

338
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: been like almost created by the current like system of

339
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: power as a release valve two like get the revolutionary

340
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: energy out of us UM. And the way he illustrates

341
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: this is with Tupac's mother, who was a you know,

342
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: incredible revolutionary, a black panther who defended herself in court

343
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: for a bombing plot. She was entrapped into and both

344
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: got herself and all the other Black Panthers acquitted, and

345
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: also got the undercover FBI agent to admit that what

346
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: they've done together when he was pretending to be part

347
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: of the Black Panther movement was beautiful. Like it's it's

348
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: like I'm out of a movie, like like the rom

349
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: com where it's like, even though I was duplicity, those

350
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: times were a beautiful day. Yeah, And like their goal

351
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: was beautiful, the goal of the Black Panther movement as

352
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: they're trying to make her seem like a villain. And

353
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: then he kind of says, so Tupac inherits this legacy

354
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: and he has all the trappings of like revolution and

355
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: the energy of a revolutionary but it's sort of pushed

356
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: off into this direction of more individualistic artistic expression, and

357
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: you know that's sort of the other side of the coin.

358
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: Like kind of a more straightforward example would be the

359
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: culture worship, like us arguing over culture worship when you

360
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: know there is there are people who are starving in America. Um,

361
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: And so he kind of does a historical look at

362
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: this through and like sort of the prism of US, Chinese, British,

363
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: history over the last like seventy years, like through this

364
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: dichotomy of like individualism versus collectivism, and like how individualism

365
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: has won out and put us in this like version

366
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: of reality that we live in now where we're sublimating

367
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: air anxieties and like anxieties that are caused by structural

368
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: problems through like individual expression with no aim but like

369
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: the beauty of art and that like makes us less empowered,

370
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: would be I guess an argument that he raises and

371
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I thought that was interesting, but just

372
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: kind of in the context of the culture war, I mean, yeah,

373
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: if you can swap out your energy for for outrage

374
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: over children being killed in the Middle East or you know,

375
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: starving American kids or unarmed black people being killed for

376
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 1: getting into like well, hold on, man, Lola Bunny's titties

377
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: should look at a certain like yeah, we're fucking You've

378
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: completely lost the plot um and it's hard to like

379
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: refocus things or try and get immedia to like focus

380
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: refocus things on like when you have these other things,

381
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: you can kind of like you're saying this, release vale

382
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: and get your anger out on this completely misguided, misdirected way.

383
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: But it's a like if it's as cynical as like

384
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: we're kind of looking at this of how it organically

385
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: becomes a system guarding itself against revolutionary action and ideation,

386
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: then it's like very elegant and you're like, holy shit.

387
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: I think also in like a very dystopian way, it

388
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: is so much easier to, let's call it, bully a

389
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: studio into removing a character because they care exclusively about money,

390
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: and just like, okay, everyone's mad, let's take them out.

391
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: Whereas you know, affecting real change is fucking hard. And

392
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: then and the gatekeepers are the government, you know, and

393
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: the government doesn't give a fuck. The corporations give a

394
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: funk because their bottom line will hurt government. They don't

395
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: give a funk. They're not even sending out checks, you know,

396
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't matter if it's Biden's government trusts, it's

397
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: always going to be more difficult to affect change within

398
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: the government. So it's like it's like this really it's

399
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: it's a release valve, but like we continuous, we see

400
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: changed on. He was a funny example of like even

401
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: though just as simple as like the Sonic the Hedgehog movie,

402
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: where they were like he looks too human. This movie sucks,

403
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: and so they like literally readd the movie because the

404
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: people spoke, and and then it's like we won, you know,

405
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: and and it's easier to win that way. It feels

406
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: like you're winning when you're having these conversations that like

407
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: technically don't matter, don't matter as much. And you compare

408
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: that to the millions of people who pour into the

409
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: streets over the summer, uh, you know, against systemic racism

410
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: and over policing and things like that, and it's like,

411
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: can't get a fucking dubbed there. Nope. At most you

412
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: got Joe Biden being like shoot him in the leg

413
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: or fucking how about like we ask nicely for people

414
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: to show their hands before we start clapping, like it's

415
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: not it that's really we needed sonic the hedgehog results there,

416
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I think that's yeah,

417
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I really liked to put it that way. It's like

418
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: we we're looking for sonic type response, is um, but

419
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: we get in these sonic type arguments all the time,

420
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: so it's completely Yeah, obscures the energy and puts it

421
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: in many different directions. Yeah, And those those movements happened

422
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: when culture kind of ground to a halt. So I

423
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: mean that would be another piece of evidence that like

424
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: there's something about this distracting kind of constant cultural you

425
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: know conversation, especially like these current culture war things that

426
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: are conversations completely started by the right wing that that

427
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: is just you know, siphoning off energy that is much

428
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: better spent elsewhere. Well, all right, so there's a an

429
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: Atlantic article that's kind of on this subject of like

430
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: the brain fog and like the fact that we can't

431
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: really remember what things were like before. I can't remember

432
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: what things are like now, let alone what things were

433
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: like before. And like I think I was describing the

434
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: fact that like when I like started parking in this building,

435
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: I could remember like where I parked, but after like

436
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: four months of parking in the building, I had no

437
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: idea because each memory was just like going into this

438
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: sea of like nearly identical memories. And so it was

439
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: just like and like that's how I feel about every

440
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: day now. It's like every day just goes into this

441
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: sea of nearly identical days and I have no kind

442
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: of frame of reference or like you know, point to

443
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: orient things around. And that's kind of part of this theory,

444
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: This guy Mike Yassa, who's a neuroscientist at You See Irvine,

445
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: says that we're all basically walking around with some mild

446
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: cognitive impairment. Based on everything we know about the brain.

447
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: Two of the things that are really good for it

448
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: our physical activity and novelty. A thing that's very bad

449
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: for it is chronic and perpetuals stress and basically living

450
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: through a pandemic is exposing people to micro doses of

451
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: unpredictable stress all the time. Yeah, Like feeling like your

452
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: things are out of your control is one of the

453
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: greatest cause of stress or contributors exacerbators of stress um

454
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: and I feel like we've all felt that way a

455
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah. The other thing, here's this like calling

456
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: cascading collective trauma is the other way I've heard this

457
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: talked about where it's this again, it's every level. It's COVID,

458
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: it's economic recession, it's racial unrest, it's disaster like natural disasters.

459
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, we're and then on top of it,

460
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: there's like a media environment too that I've seen saying

461
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: is compounding these stresses just by the kind of meta

462
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: you and just on top of it is just a

463
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: recipe for like, yeah, just consistent like low grade trauma

464
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: that is, you know, building up over time. It's a

465
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: little tough. Is that why ty Caves feels like it was,

466
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, two decades ago exactly? They have cell phones

467
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: back then, I know. I'm like, they had divers. Were

468
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: they going around those like copper helmets, like those OTLD

469
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: diving bells? Are they okay? Did they come out all right?

470
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: Did they find on the cord? Yeah? The kids are

471
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: and I think there's just the one I think one person.

472
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah at this point right there, like yeah, they're in

473
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: their sixties. I think, yeah, they got grandkids. They're doing

474
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: all right. Dally, have you done anything like in terms

475
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: of addressing the monotony of lockdown? Like have you created

476
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: strategies to combat these things? Are you even experiencing something

477
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: like that? Because I feel like people have different resiliency

478
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: levels when it comes to the lockdown. I feel I'm

479
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: definitely experiencing that. It's actually very cathartic to read like

480
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: terms that like language for it, um because I kind

481
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: of thought I was just getting old and losing my memory,

482
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: but uh, it seems like it's a bit deeper than that.

483
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely. I, Um, I've been I'm a stand

484
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: up comedian, so I all my shows have had to

485
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: go on zoom now and UM, it's it's not ideal,

486
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: but it's also a great way to keep talking to people. Um.

487
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: If I don't do those, I'm just talking to my

488
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: dogs and that's insane. I talked to them with this

489
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: voice and I can't do that voice a day, so

490
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: it's UM, that's one thing that helps kind of just

491
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: I have something to look forward to a few times

492
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: a week. Um, and it does kind of break them

493
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: and not me. But other than that, it's so hard

494
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: for me to remember when things happened. I'm like, was

495
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: that early in the pandemic? Was that five years ago?

496
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been trying. I've also been trying

497
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: to do like morning pages, which is just like, um,

498
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: it's like the artist way, like journaling like seven words

499
00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: every morning just to like articulate what is triggering depression

500
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: or just vents or just talk about what articulating thoughts. Yeah,

501
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I don't know what I did this week.

502
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: So that's been extremely helpful. Just getting one of my friends,

503
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: one of my comedy friends said it's kind of like um,

504
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: taking a ship in the morning. It's just kind of

505
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: like you get that out of your system, right, And

506
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: that's been really helpful for me. Your first seven words,

507
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: my first seven Yeah. Indeed, having dogs is good too.

508
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: They forced you to go outside and write fresh air. Yeah.

509
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: But like with kids, though Jack doesn't, doesn't that somehow

510
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: break it up or there is also a pattern to

511
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: with like the ebb and flow of them. They definitely

512
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: break things up for sure. It's just like every other

513
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: part of the life that's like framing it and just

514
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: physical location. I remember watching my nieces and nephews, like

515
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: I remember that's like those are parts of the pandemic.

516
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: I remember like doing it say flee and being like yeah,

517
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: like well we could watch the kids for a little.

518
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: I remember that because it's like so much going on.

519
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, with the COVID the funny thing and there's

520
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: this other research paper that you know, they're they're talking

521
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: about the just cascading trauma effect or whatever, and they're saying,

522
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: so what do we do about it? What do you

523
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: think the solution is? From experts? Just in general? How

524
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 1: can we remedy what's happening for people that are stressed

525
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: out right, Now, what do you think the solution is

526
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: to this the pandemic being over? I don't know, or

527
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, what can the government do, you know, like

528
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: help people. That's all they're saying. They're like the trauma

529
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: is compounded when on top of it there are people

530
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: who are being like I have no like there's no

531
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: I have nowhere to turn. Yeah, I'm not getting educated,

532
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm not getting ppe, I'm not getting rights as a worker.

533
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: They're saying, all of these things would be just particularly

534
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: effective um for like those that are you know, especially

535
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: at higher risk for for COVID and things like that.

536
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: So it's just like a you know, it's like the

537
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: simplest things, but we're just would never I don't know,

538
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 1: just across the river, across the rubicon into like help. Yeah,

539
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: it's a America has always been like a very like

540
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: cold world, and I think this is just like laying

541
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: there how like live and let die, like with the

542
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: emphasis on the let die side of things. Uh, it

543
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: really is shit. Well, what a way to end things?

544
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come

545
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: back and talk about cocaine Bear Paddington's fucked up cousin

546
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: and we're back. All right, let's talk about dog gate

547
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: or I don't know, I don't know what the funk

548
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna call this uh in the right wing media,

549
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: but it is. It was the top story on bright

550
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: Bart when it happened President Biden's dog bit someone and

551
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: had to be uh moved to a different location because yeah,

552
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: and I mean this is you would think. Actually, Like

553
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: my main takeaway from the story is not the you know,

554
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: uh full of shitness of the right wing media, because

555
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: like that is a given at this point. My main

556
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: takeaway from this story that our writer JM submitted is that,

557
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: like there must be something about being a dog at

558
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: the White House that just turns you into a complete

559
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: asshole because the record of dogs biting, so he's pointing

560
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: out in this article, like this happens almost every White House,

561
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: Like Obama uh took lots of ship because his dog

562
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: right before he left off us as dogs sunny bit

563
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: one of Malia's friends on the face, Which that's not joke.

564
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: A dog bite on the face, Like I know people

565
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: who had to have a reconstructive surgery for dog bites

566
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: on the face, Like that's that's no joke. George W.

567
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: Bush's dog Barney, bit two people, a PR person for

568
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics and a reporter um the Jenna. Bush

569
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: later described the dog as a real jerk. Oh no,

570
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: but you know it's serious. Uh yeah, that like bringing

571
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: up a conservative white woman language saying a dog's a

572
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: real jerk. Is like that person mauled. That dog mauled

573
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: like nine babies. It's a it's a monster. And then

574
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: you go back to f DR. He had a German

575
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: shepherd like Biden, named major like Biden, so that was

576
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: clearly not accidental. Uh. He bit four people, including the

577
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: British Prime Minister, actually ripped the seat off his pants

578
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: like a fucking car. Ye Like, reporters at the time

579
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: made a big deal of the fact that they were

580
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: just like, it's a Germany attacking Great Britain because it

581
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: was a German shepherd and that you know that that

582
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: was the big big thing back then and then and

583
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: then Teddy Roosevelt's dog Pete routinely bit people who displeased him,

584
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: including naval officers, cabinet members, police officers, diplomats. At one point,

585
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: he chased the French ambassador down the halls of the

586
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: White House caught him and tore again toward the backside

587
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: of his pants off. Okay, hold on, is that really now?

588
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: Now this sounds like a weird bit and we're getting

589
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: like hyper just like right, storms are just fucking with us. Uh,

590
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't know every to two times a dog's ripping

591
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: the butt off of dignitaries pants like some pining of

592
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: Like it's truly like a comic strip where the most

593
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: embarras missing things like the dog bit his butt and

594
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: the and his underwear was exposed. He but I do

595
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: wonder sad untold story here. That's the one dog Major

596
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: who was young with the biting, but it's two dogs

597
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 1: that are b that got deported from the White House.

598
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: It's because of Major. So there's an older dog. Champ

599
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: was like an old man, and he's paying the collective

600
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, punishment or for for Major's accusations. Right, that's

601
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: the bull accusations because that's what they are, right exactly.

602
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't see their allegations. And honestly, shame on whoever

603
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: he snitched on that dog. There should be there should

604
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: be problems for that person. But like you know that

605
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: there is that relationship between owner and dog and you know,

606
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: like the presidency. We've also seen that it like ages people,

607
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: like the Ring from Lord of Rings, Like it's just

608
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: it's not good for the soul. So I just wonder, like,

609
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: is a dog of a president just like inherently just

610
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: goes goes dark on the people? Right? Yeah, I don't know.

611
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: Do you think it's because like the environment is just

612
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: overly stimulating, Like it's just like or I don't know.

613
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how the residential quarters work

614
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: of the White House and where dogs live or don't live.

615
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: But I felt like if I'm picturing the show the

616
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: West Wing and a confused as dog being like all

617
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: these people do a lot of walking and talking trailing

618
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: behind and also like everybody's gonna be deferential to the dog,

619
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 1: and so that's probably not the best thing in the world. Yeah,

620
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: like you know, the dogs shooting on people's stuff and

621
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: they can't say anything because it's dog. I'm sure to God,

622
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna punch the dog if this does. It was

623
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: in the shape of the presidential seal, like I do,

624
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: I think, But yeah, it's just the dog probably assumes

625
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: that the dog is president, like because it doesn't know

626
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: any better, and everyone's just being like yo, like just

627
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: treating it like it it runs ship. Uh yeah, and

628
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: it's like, where's the nuclear football toy that you can

629
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: play catch with me in the in the rose garden with? Right,

630
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: And we don't have like because the media didn't you know,

631
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: fully report honestly on on presidents before Nixon. Basically we

632
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: we don't know how many presidents actually how many of

633
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: those presidents were actually biting people, So that's always their

634
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: possibility to all right, let's talk about Elizabeth Banks's new movie.

635
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Banks directed Pitch Perfect. I think that's yeah, one

636
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: of the one of the Sue and Charlie's Angels was

637
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: the latest one, right, so you know she's also a

638
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: famous actress who you would know from many an anybody. Yeah,

639
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 1: the Hunger Games would be our younger listeners would probably

640
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: recognize her from. But so her latest movie is called

641
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Cocaine Bear. H Is that is that? Really? Like? I'm

642
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at her IMDb filmography and they might be

643
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: using a different name for it. Uh really under director, Yeah,

644
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: under director they've yeah, maybe I don't know, or they're

645
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: just I think no, what hasn't gone into production? Yet

646
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: so maybe they are um waiting to actually like fully

647
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: fully announced that got it. But anyway, yeah, she's got

648
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: the she's got the new movie coming out, And I

649
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: thought cocaine. Bart was like, Okay, maybe this will be

650
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: a hilarious comedy uh and maybe or a really ridiculous

651
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: film something. It's a fucking true story about a bear

652
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: that ate a bunch of cocaine in the eighties and died.

653
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, so it's a short movie.

654
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: But the whole thing is they say in December, bear

655
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: was walking around the Chattahoochia Coney National Forest in Georgia,

656
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: minding its own business made up when it found forty

657
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: plastic bags of cocaine worth fifteen million dollars eight them

658
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: and then died. The medical examiner who performed an autopsy

659
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: on the bear said the cause of death was cerebral hemorrhaging,

660
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: respiratory failure, hyperthermia, renal failure, heart failure, stroke, you name it.

661
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: The bear had it. Its stomach was quote literally packed

662
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: to the brim with cocaine end quote. There wasn't a

663
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: mammal on the planet who could survive that. That makes

664
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: me feel so bad, said I'm also wondering what our

665
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: plot is here, right, well, a screenwriter, let me tell

666
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: you what I would do, citing incident when the coke

667
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: falls on the bear's head from this guy. Um oh,

668
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm also seeing here that, um you, I'm looking at

669
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: a Hollywood Report Order article. Universal is behind Cocaine Bear,

670
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: which is based on an untitled spec script. So yeah,

671
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: I think they probably just are like untitled Cocaine Bear project.

672
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: But I think they should just keep the title bear.

673
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: Why not? I mean, so the origin story. I think

674
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: that's why the film will probably center around how that

675
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: blow got to the bear. And it turns out that

676
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: it was a man named Andrew Thornton who was like

677
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: a corrupt narcotics cop who then transitioned to international drug

678
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: smuggling kingpin. Amazing how those things happened sometimes, And so

679
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: it all happened when one day he was doing I guess,

680
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: a massive transport of cocaine and there's some engine trouble occurred,

681
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: and so he got spooked and started dumping as much

682
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: of the blow out the planes doors as he could,

683
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: and that's when I think the ship got into the

684
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: forest where the bear got to it, and then he

685
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: tried to jump out with a parachute, but unfortunately he

686
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: was holding seventy pounds of cocaine, a ton of cash

687
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: and guns that the weight was sucked up and his

688
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: his shoot didn't deploy properly because the load was too much.

689
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: And then he died and they've discovered him literally like

690
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: with next to a seventy pound pilot blow with guns

691
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: and like money dead in the forest. Wow, I'm still

692
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: not sure what? Like what how do we center the

693
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: bear in this? Maybe the cocaine bear was inside all

694
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: of us all along. Like here's what I would do.

695
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: I would really take a lot of liberties with the

696
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: story and do some pretty major world building where the

697
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: bear comes upon the cocaine, eats it and then rather

698
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: than dies a tragic death, um develops superpowers and then

699
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: becomes a superhero bear, a super bear. Yeah, I mean

700
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: the spec script was actually written by the bear before

701
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: it died of a compane, so that might it was

702
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: edged into a tree trunk with his close and then

703
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, man, and I can see fucking so good

704
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: at night now, so then I get night vision and

705
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: then yeah, I mean, unfortunately and launched three restaurants in

706
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: the Yeah, some sick underground bear speakeasies. Yeah. Yeah, I

707
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: like world building. I would like some world building around there.

708
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 1: I just the I get. I mean, like the story

709
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: of this Andrew Thornton person seems fine, but I mean,

710
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: what of this bear? Like I think I think the

711
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: movie will be great if the entire film is about

712
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: the bear and the last shot is the cocaine coming

713
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: down from the sky. So it's just the bear. That

714
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: movie where it's like following a bear around the forest. Yeah, yeah,

715
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: or that one movie um with Danny de Vito, Jack

716
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: the Bear, Wasn't that right? And yeah, I thought I

717
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: knew my bear movies. I thought that was a porn

718
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: Jack the Bear. That's a different one, okay, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

719
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: this is the the Marshall Hurskovitz. Could also be um

720
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: brother Bear, that Disney vehicle from the early two thousands,

721
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 1: Know and Love. Um. Maybe maybe it's The Revenant right

722
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 1: from the Revenant. Could be Yeah, it's just going through

723
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: different movies because it's in its own mind, because it's

724
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: so yeah again it's and we're still talking about a

725
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: fucking animal that interested forty pounds of cocaine and it's

726
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: a mess. Its body was a mess. It's wild. How

727
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: quickly the bear because cocaine is it? I can't imagine

728
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: it tastes good to bears? Uh, but it very quickly.

729
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: Was like, holy sh it, I gotta get more. You know.

730
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: They're like, man, I don't want to I'm coming down

731
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: bro mo. Yeah yeah, forty pounds worth. How about it?

732
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: Gosh um, unless maybe it was cut with like nutra

733
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: sweet or sweet lower yeah, or like baby laxative, baby laxative. Yeah.

734
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, this is it. This is Elizabeth

735
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: Banks is third or well, actually know she's not. She's

736
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: directed a few things, but I'm I'm really curious to

737
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: see what this how this all turns up Like it's

738
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: just it's compelling and that it's so vague but has

739
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: these odd specifics. Where how do where? Where can we

740
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: go with this? Guide me? Cocaine bear? That is a

741
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: wild true story. I mean you could it could literally

742
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: go in so many directions. But did you see um

743
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: Robert Evans's tweet about it? Um? He said, this is

744
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: the only movie we have needed since Fury Rode. So

745
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: thank you. All right, that's gonna do it for this
