Um, yeah, I was living in my mom's backhouse. 62 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: This is post politics life, post politics life. I'm still 63 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: not really doing a steady job. This is when I'm 64 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: doing start doing my otter jobs, like I'm doing raves, 65 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: doing artist hospitality there, managing like artist's hospitality at raids. Yeah. 66 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: Like so setting up like a DJ's trailer with like 67 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: all their wild Riders ship.

That's that was your future man, that's 72 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: the rider right there. Anyway, what a year. Uh So 73 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: let's start out with movies. I I feel like that's 74 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: a good good way to kind of place yourself in 75 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: the zeitgeys. That was the year that Looper came out. 76 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: And this is also the order generally, I'm gonna be 77 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: listening to these in the order when you Google movies 78 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: two thousand twelve. This is how Google has it, which 79 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: I think is a good metaphor for like how our 80 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: collective consciousness remembers movies from that year. It's like, what order. 81 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: They're kind of a weird order. Looper first, The Master 82 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: are Go h Lincoln, Moonrise, Kingdom, the Avengers, which I 83 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: would have thought would be first. Uh Jango, The Amazing 84 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: Spider Man. That that's a movie that is just completely disappeared. 85 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: The one with Andrew Garfield just totally disappeared from my consciousness. One. Okay, 86 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Toby mcchoire, regardless of his pussy posse days, he really 87 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: killed it with that Spider Man. Like that one really 88 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: brought it home to me. I was like, James Franco, 89 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: evil Dad, get it okay? Yeah. So and then when 90 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 1: you come out with the I feel like they didn't 91 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: wait long enough to come out with a new Spider Man. 92 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: So by that point I was like, no, I'm still 93 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: taking in the old Spider Man because it takes me 94 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: like ten years to watch a single superhero movie. You guys. 95 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: Beat of the Southern Wild came out that year. That 96 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: was a pretty movie, didn't Wasn't the little girl in 97 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: that like the Youngest Academy Award nomina. I don't want 98 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: to say her name wrong, but I think it was 99 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: kwanzen A. That's a period name. Zero Dark thirty came 100 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: out that year. That seems too fast, because didn't we 101 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: just talk in the last episode of in Laden how 102 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: they killed Bin Laden one year before and there was 103 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: propaganda it really was. So we had zero Dark thirty 104 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: and what was the other argo in which they claimed 105 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: that like the American CIA saved these hostages, except and 106 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: like totally edited out the Canadian intelligence officers who planned 107 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing and executed the whole thing. But this 108 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: was a big year for c I a propaganda big 109 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: year for Pete Bota Edge. I believe argos tagline was 110 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: thank God for Ben Affleck, in which we're all, like 111 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: your audience were angry for years after what was um? 112 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: I completely lost my train. I thought I was just 113 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: looking up when the Osama bin Laden raid was May second, 114 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven, and then this movie came out December. Yeah, 115 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: they were just like boom. But apparently how much info 116 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: we have? They say Catherine Bigelow was working on a 117 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: script already that was around the Battle of Tora Bora, 118 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: so it was already kind of searching for being lauden 119 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: Esquet and then yeah, oh, then one of the people 120 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: that was helping her right said that they found out 121 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: like women had a huge role in this process, and 122 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: then they started getting cracking on that script. But yeah, 123 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: that was very much like yeah, nothing to see here, 124 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: that was all cool, all chill, don't worry about it. 125 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: American number one. I feel like the Avengers was like 126 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: the big movie that You're right, the Avengers and the 127 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: Dark Knight Rises. I didn't even see the Avengers really. Yeah, man, 128 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't know why it's weird. I like I said, 129 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: I say this all the time. I just got overwhelmed. 130 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: I think that year before thor and like iron Man 131 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: three Man and all that other Shipman three was because 132 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: oh that reminds me of my other job I was doing. 133 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: I see. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think. Maybe 134 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: I just didn't like those other characters. But I do 135 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: feel like you're correct that this was a year that 136 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: is defined again, like we talked, had a lot of 137 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: original I p or than we started seeing more sequels, 138 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: and this year that kind of continued that trend because 139 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: you got Avengers, you got Dark Knight Rises, you got Stall, 140 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: you got movies that were Men in Black three. Uh 141 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: actually had looked at the top ten. Wait, John Carter, 142 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: like John Carter from Mars. Yeah, that was that. That 143 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: was in Yeah, I could have swore that was like 144 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: in two thousand two. You know. I the movie that 145 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: really spoke to me was Outside of Magic. Mike was 146 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: the Master because I believe around that time when we 147 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: were all starting to really come after scientology like that 148 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: was kind of remember Lawrence Wright came out with the 149 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: Going Clear book, like we were all starting to hop. 150 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if that was exactly, but we're all 151 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: starting to hop on the on here.

In February, Uh May 165 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: Obama supports gay marriage. Uh, and that was actually something 166 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: like I had heard Biden say, like he was the 167 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: first to support gay marriage in the Obama White House 168 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: during a debate and just thought it was like random 169 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: synapses firing. But the way that time magazine again, I'm 170 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: looking back at these uh sort of year recaps, like 171 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: your review recaps from the end of the year. They're 172 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: like written in December of that year, and the way 173 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: that that story was written was like after Joe Biden 174 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: like unexpectedly came out in favor of gay marriage. Uh, 175 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, Obama was sort of forced to do it, 176 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: so that uh that random synapse firing that came out 177 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's mouth apparently might be true. Wait, so 178 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: they are saying it was like an accident where he's 179 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: like I just forgot to say do not and just 180 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: wrote support marriage. And I think he just it was 181 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: like unplanned, but like he basically like Joe Biden put 182 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: out his support first, and Obama was like you mother, alright, fine, Joe, 183 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: I do too. Um well, because in like that eleven 184 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: is when that he stopped having Department of Justice Defendoma 185 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: in court. So I mean it was kind of on 186 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: that way, I mean obviously, but yeah he had because 187 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: like before that, like in the early two thousand's, he 188 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: was more of like I focused civil unions, but which 189 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: isn't a right stance. Yeah. Um, there's the mass shooting 190 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: in Aurora at the Dark Knight Rises, uh movie, Like 191 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: I think it was opening weekend Obama. This was while 192 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: the election was going on, uh, and Obama really stepped 193 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: up became I think this is one around the first 194 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: time people started using the phrase consoler in chief. He 195 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: was like the man who was like there for people 196 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: a shoulder literally a shoulder for people like victims to 197 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: cry on. Um. So that happened in July. Then in 198 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: August the London Olympics happened. I feel like this was 199 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: a good glimpse at the future of like definitely probably 200 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: the present of China, but like sort of the future 201 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: police states of the world, like very beautiful, very fun, 202 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: very like popular, full of viral moments, and deeply authoritarian, 203 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: like across the board, with just like all sorts of 204 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: surveillance equipment and police state technology. I think there were 205 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: some buildings in downtown London that had missile launchers on 206 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: the wall. Um oh yeah, like some kind of like 207 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: defense in places, right. Yeah, yeah, it was just fully militarized. 208 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: It was wild building stadiums that nobody really ever wanted. 209 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: That's but that's a constant thing with that. Yeah, that's 210 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: always the Olympics. Let's displace people for this ship. Yeah. 211 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: Also I remember that year this game Plagued Inc. Came out, 212 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: this mobile game where you could like evolve your own virus, 213 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: and kind of one of the deals I feel like 214 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: it always would reference the the Olympics that year, and 215 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: you know then a lot of people go for the 216 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: Olympics and then that virus starts spreading everywhere. Is that 217 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: the one that was like was actually uh sort of 218 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence thing where they were trying to look at 219 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: sort of how a plague would spread. Basically, I don't 220 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: know who that was the motive behind it. That you 221 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: can add new like things to your illness. Yeah, your virus. 222 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: You added added some new Uh you're like this one, yeah, 223 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 1: because you could be like, oh it does well in 224 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: arid climates or like causes cough this one makes you 225 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: so thirsty and then the worms burst forth. It's it's 226 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,119 Speaker 1: just it's weird. Actually when I think about that mindset 227 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: for me to be playing a game in twelve where 228 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm like reveling and ending all life on earth and 229 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: creating an illness that is incurable, incurable. So that's about 230 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: halfway through the year. Uh, so we're gonna take a 231 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back with the rest 232 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: of twelve and into and we're back and all right, 233 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: So the London Olympics happen, We're all just like riding 234 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: on a high from Michael Phelps and like just the 235 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: first year Beijing was this first year and then this 236 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: was like when he really it was just like he 237 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: was rolling there like this guy's high rolling through the competition, 238 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: riding high. Literally, dare this Olympic athlete live his life? 239 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: And then September eleven happens and Benghazi knock us down 240 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: off our high horse. Uh, really sad. It was very sad. 241 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: It was also uh that then in October the investigation 242 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: into the attacks on Benghazi start. Uh, and yeah, that's 243 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: I remember the diplomat that they dragged out and killed. 244 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: Went to my college college put out a thing. Yeah 245 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: he was a lot older thing being like, um, you know, 246 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: like rest in peace. Like that was devastating because I 247 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: remember the photos of his body, his lifeless body being 248 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: dragged around were circulating, and I remember just being I 249 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: can like still see the photos in my mind and 250 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: it's still to this day, like one of the most 251 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: devastating things. I like imagining, like of a person being 252 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: dragged through the streets and then having the photo posted 253 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: everywhere and it's like this is a family. Yeah. And 254 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: then now for the rest of our years, everyone Hillary 255 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: gets blamed, Like you hear the word ben Ghazi so 256 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: often we're like, yeah, yeah, it's just it's just in 257 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: dragged through the mud, and it's just a really fucked up, 258 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: it's fucked up thing that we'll never forget. Yeah, and yeah, 259 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: using like weaponizing that for as a political tool. Yep. Uh. 260 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: The economy had kind of had a pretty strong recovery 261 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: through the first four years of the Obama administration, and 262 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: that was something Time magazine uh commented on the headline 263 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: they had was the economy recovers like a motherfucker. They 264 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: had that actual know that they know they didn't have that, 265 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: but they they have a chart in our dock that 266 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: shows like basically what happened. It's pretty pretty remarkable. Uh 267 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: what we call him the bis hockey sticks growth. Hell yeah. Um. 268 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: Then in October we had Hurricane Sandy devastated the East coast, 269 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: the twelve election where Mitt Romney came in went it 270 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: back for the Republican Party. Oh yeah, the fiscal cliff 271 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: in December. Oh that was that was such hot news. 272 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: I know, that was such a big deal and look 273 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: at us not given. And then Sandy Hook happened in December. 274 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: So just kind of and I think, yeah, that was 275 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: really fun man. That was seven years ago, and we 276 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: are still done funck all on gun control. I mean 277 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: we did so in this episode. We're doing thirteen. So 278 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: I looked at like, and you know, the news stories 279 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: about gun control, and it's just like we actually like 280 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: went in the opposite direction, because because gun rights people 281 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: like go so hard when something like that happens, they 282 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: push back in the other direction. It's I find interesting 283 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: that like today you still see it that very like 284 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: very intense ad from the Sandy Hook Parents Association where 285 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: it's a bunch of kids doing like they're back to school, 286 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: shopping and I love to get this stuff, but it's 287 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: so clue that they're like hiding from a school shooting, 288 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: like that's there. They have to put that out out now, 289 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: Like it's been seven years and they're still being like high, 290 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: our kids are in danger. They got they just can't. 291 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: That lobby is so powerful. I think the reaction to 292 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: was like, uh, like Second Amendment n R A gun humper. 293 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: People were so the second anything was mentioned. It's like, 294 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, like when maybe there's a one last let's say, 295 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: one last Coca Cola in the cooler and you reach 296 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: for it and someone goes, I mean that man, that's mine, 297 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: don't touch it, and you're almost kind of like a 298 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: reasonable person, you go, oh funck alright, dude, right, don't 299 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: like it. Ain't gotta be like that that sort of 300 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: reaction initially, I think, but if you're a Coca Cola 301 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: Right to advocate, you're gonna be like, no, funk that 302 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: it's mine. Yeah. But I think just seeing that, like 303 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: I think for people who are maybe in favor of 304 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: gun control first or sort of taken it back maybe 305 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: a little bit like oh ship, like what then when 306 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: you sort of look back retrospectively and understand just how 307 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, these conversations or discussions were informed by the 308 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: n r A and things. It's like, of course, but 309 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's not just the n r A. Like 310 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: gun sales shoot through the roof. That's a terrible way 311 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: to say that. But gun sales go up right after 312 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: a mass shooting because which is so weird, because people 313 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: are scared. They now, yeah, part of them knows, like 314 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: it's wild that our government let's us have these like 315 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: weapons that are this deadly, like these are military grade weapons, 316 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: and so they're just like, we better go out and 317 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: buy all of these because eventually it's too good to 318 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: be true. One day they're gonna take these back and 319 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: not let us be armed, like we're in the middle 320 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: of a ground war here at guns are really that cool? 321 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: Oh tell that to the minute man, right. Um, just 322 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: some of the things from twelve election, Romney was really 323 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: quite quite the candidate. Um, these these are memorable moments. 324 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: According to Time magazine, Romney tells a New Hampshire audience, 325 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: I like being able to fire people. Uh, they say, 326 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: kicking off a year of rich guy gaffs. Wow. So 327 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: that basically led to Trump being elected because he was 328 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: the king of firing people, right.

Yeah, 359 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: it looked like somebody like a like a toxic confident 360 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: guy doing an open mic set for the first time 361 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: and like kind of going through the jokes. But it's 362 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: also not phasing him because he's in a just a 363 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: completely separate reality from everyone else. Yeah, he so the clinics. 364 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: Wood gets up at the Republican National Convention and it's like, yeah, 365 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: I liked Obama when he got UH nominated.

Yeah, how do you? Uh? Yeah? Anyways, 386 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: Romney lost badly. Uh. There was also the secretly recorded 387 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: video where he said that of America doesn't work, and 388 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: he said that he like Big Sesame Street as much 389 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: as everybody else, but he was still gonna defund PBS 390 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: UM and Binders Binders, right, somebody. I think it was 391 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: a debate. He was like talking about how woke his 392 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: campaign was, and he was like, I I had binders 393 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: full of women come to me. Uh so he yeah, 394 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: he's just he He had the perfect mixture of being 395 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: out of touch, uh, super rich person and also like 396 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: Al Gore level robot human charism, yeah, charisma, tourisma yeah. Uh. 397 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: And then let's move on toten. Let's start off with 398 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: the movies. Often twelve Years of Slave that instantly reminds 399 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: me of Sterling at the Clippers, Sterling at the We're 400 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: making memes because he was talking that's when he was 401 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: caught on the phone. This year wasn't this? The year 402 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: was this year? I could have swore a goud It 403 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: was because I was making twelve Years of Slave memes 404 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 1: about like how he was talking about his own players 405 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: in the franchise Die They Got me? Oh when did 406 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: the movie come out? I Clean Eastwood here? Yeah, twelve 407 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: years the act of what was the act of killing. 408 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: The Act of killing was that documentary. It's probably the 409 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: best document and I thought they did it together. I 410 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: don't think so. Now it's a it's just a filmmaker. 411 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: It's neither of those guys. But it's it's a like 412 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: a guy goes over to a country that had a 413 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: full on revolution and genocide. Yeah, it was in Indonesia, 414 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: and Indonesia and the country the leaders who are still 415 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: in power. What executive producer producers weren't Herzak made it No, 416 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: But I mean they teamed up to get it, like 417 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: made it happen because they're like the two guys who 418 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: know that feels like something Werner Hurtzog when you heard 419 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: nobody goes, we must make this documentary. That's I remember 420 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: seeing it because it was so wild because they re 421 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: and they got the people who committed the murder to 422 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: reenact the murders. That's hard to convince people to do that. 423 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: It was. It's one of the if you haven't seen it, 424 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: it's just an amazing they snitched on themselves. Yeah, well 425 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: because so basically the idea was that they had never 426 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: because after the revolution they were the people in power, 427 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: so they had just never confronted that there was anything 428 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: wrong with the fact that they, you know, committed genocide. 429 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: And so you are having these people just completely guiltlessly 430 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: talking about committing mass murder and just like choking out 431 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: hundreds of people on a single day with like this 432 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: wire thing. And then but there's like also this level 433 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: where they're there's like a part of them, like their humanity, 434 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: that they've like killed off. That's like kind of like 435 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: the person starts having like stomach trouble as he's like 436 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: talking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really wild. But yeah, 437 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: then they re enact like the killings. Um, Frozen came 438 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: out this year iconic icon and I'm in a movie 439 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: theater Frozen has just come out. I don't know. I'm 440 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 1: I have no concept that when movies come out anymore. 441 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: I honestly I thought Frozen came out. Yeah, I would 442 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: have to. You could have. You could have convinced me 443 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: of either thing. The first Purge came out, I feel 444 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: like that's pretty iconic. I've seen it though, now you 445 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: see me. I feel like that's iconic, even though I 446 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: don't know why. The Magician film, Yeah, don't you feel like, Yeah, 447 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: I saw it. Yeah, I've seen it on cable since then. 448 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: I can see now you see me too. I don't know. 449 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: It's like movies that a lot of people saw this 450 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: year aren't that iconic, Like World war Z. I feel 451 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: like that that was like a huge hit and a 452 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: big deal at the time, but that it didn't really 453 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: like last in the consciousness. No. I think the best 454 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: thing about World War Z was the fucking trailer, Like 455 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: I remember seeing him, like, what the funk? No, I 456 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: just like this ship. I wanted to see a wild 457 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: ass group of zombies just make a big pile against 458 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: the wall. I was like, Yep, this is tight, and 459 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: then it was not. It wasn't it was a hit 460 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: like I thought it. American Hustle Ak Wigs the movie 461 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: that was like a movie that everybody loved at the time, 462 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: But like, I feel like it's not really since then. Yeah, 463 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think anyone's thought about it. 464 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: I think it was just completely forgotten the second the 465 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: ball dropped. Uh. But yeah, like smaller movies like The 466 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: Purge where iconic uh, Captain Phillips became iconic for the 467 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm the captain now line. I have trouble remembering most 468 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: of everything except from that line. I've seen the film 469 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: and I remember is I'm the captain now? So basically, 470 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: do you want me to explain the plot to you? 471 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, but I know I remember what 472 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean. I know the basic plot, but like, I 473 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 1: can't vividly remember many of the scenes aside from like 474 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: that one. I believe Tom Hanks was acting with a 475 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: beard of some sort. Yeah, and I believe he was 476 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: playing some kind of captain. Very iconic. Iron Man three 477 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: came out one of the big movie because of the year, 478 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: keeping that process going of you know, sequels, Monster University, 479 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: Despicable Me Too.

To that, I feel 483 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: like everybody's kind of from about since then, Um, Furious 484 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: six usually critically acclaimed. Uh no, but it was, it 485 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: was very successful. To that one.

And then someone Dom knows so he's like, yo, Dom, dude, 498 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: this is the one where um letty and then the 499 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: most iconic Yeah she dies and is alive and every 500 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: other I don't really know these movies that well. I 501 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: just I just like supers. So yeah, there's some iconic movies, 502 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: but they're not They're not necessarily the ones that you 503 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: would have picked as the most iconic at like that year. 504 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: I would have because I know everything. But yes, uh, 505 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: top international stories, there's a lot of like, you know, 506 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: just international Like I feel like, what is the stereotypical 507 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: thing that Americans picture when they think of international stories. 508 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: There's like super typhoons, ring of Terror in Africa, a 509 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: factory disaster in Bangladesh. Um. Yeah, it's just like that's 510 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: when Americans picture news of the world. I think they 511 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: picture stretchers and rubble and starving children. Oh yeah, well, 512 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: I mean most of the news is sort of focused 513 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, what about that part of the 514 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: world though. Um, but we also got Francis the Progressive Pope, 515 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: and the rest of this episode will be about Francis 516 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: the Progressive Pope after we take a quick commercial break 517 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: from Progressive auto insure and we're back and we're not 518 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: going to talk about the Pope were gone. No, he's 519 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: that is not progressive. Ratziger was the Nazi? When was 520 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: he the pope right before this dude, but then Francis 521 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: came in because that dude retired. There it's weird. And 522 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: that with the whole movie is that there's like a movie. 523 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, there's no movie the two popes because usually 524 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: there's only one pope alive, and this proves that there's 525 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: a reason for that because the pope who's still alive 526 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: but it's no longer the pope and who is also 527 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: an ex Nazi and also a super conservative pope who's 528 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: like what he drinks beer wasn't that the thing, Like, yeah, 529 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: so he's cool, so that excuses everything. Anyways, he retired 530 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: probably because he had like some sort of scandal coming 531 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 1: down the pike, and they were like, uh so, and 532 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: then a progressive pope came along and he just laid 533 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: back in the cut and was like yes, yes, yes, 534 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: my prettease. Um. That is when serious of war started horrifying. Um. 535 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: And then yeah, this is the year when, like I 536 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: was talking about, one of the stories that Time magazine 537 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: had in their urin review is gun control loses steam. 538 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: The historic school shooting in Newton that left twenty children 539 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: dead and six adults was supposed to have been a 540 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: turning point for gun control advocates, riding the collective dismay 541 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: over the massacre. Uh, the d n C leaders sought 542 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: to ban assault weapons and then it was like fully 543 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: pushed back and it it died in the Senate. And 544 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: then they like got laws that loosened restrictions. So it 545 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, kind of bringing in the other direction, 546 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court found for gay marriage. Uh. There was 547 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: the Boston marathon bombing, which I feel like was America's 548 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: version of the London Olympics, where we got a vision 549 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: of like what a American police state would be like 550 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: when they had completely like shut down the whole city 551 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: of Boston and all the suburbs and like nobody was 552 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: allowed on the street they were chasing and then they 553 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: was like found in the back of a boat or 554 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: something rest in his backyard. And then this is when 555 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: we got the Snowden Lakes um, which I think was 556 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: the big dominant news story of of that time. But 557 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the top 558 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: ten buzzwords. What what oh God? I like this one?

That that's one 563 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: of those buzzwords that has really stood the test of 564 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: thing that sounds like you're going to Thanksgiving with a crip. 565 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: It's funny time Time is a list of overreported stories 566 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: and they are Miley Cyrus, twerking, Paula Deane, she was 567 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: not twerking.

The word emoji. I think it just 584 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: became a like it reached its tipping point here and 585 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: then we're like, yeah, use those emojis and like what 586 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: about cool gry face?
