So 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: there's that if that wants to generally be revealing. But 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: the thing before that was the phrase hamster eating a burrito. 30 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah that video. Yeah, so I must have 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: been trying to see that.

It goes like, 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: see a bunch of people making jokes about something on Twitter, 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: not getting it, trying to distill one down, one ferb 36 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: and I guess an object from time to time and 37 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: putting that into Google to just figure out what the 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: fund has happened. So did you end up seeing the video? Yeah? 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: I assume I did. It was Yeah, I think it's 40 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: like tiny Dennis and that that was a pretty big 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: video for a little bit. Yeah, that's how that's how 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: my brain works though. So that's in case I ever 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: sound ill informed, it's because that is my primary information. 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: Just Twitter, Twitter, Twitter memes. Yes, for people who are 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: driving and haven't already looked it up. Tiny hamster eating 46 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: the burritos are small. I was picturing giant burritos, which 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: makes it a lot of fun. I assume Japanese. No, 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: they're l A based. I think the production company that 49 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: did it, I think they're called tiny Denizens or something. 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. Hello Dennis, Yes, remember Wait I have 51 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: a question. You said you were watching video game like 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: play through videos. Well, you know what if we want 53 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: to do this, I that actually is my underrated or 54 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: what is something that is underrated? I'm so into e 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: sports as like the way I watch regular sports, which 56 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: is I don't participate, like I don't play fucking football 57 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: or like whatever. But like that's my new thing. Is 58 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: like because for a long time I was like, I 59 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: don't I don't play video games. I don't get it. 60 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: And now I'm just all in. I just watch people 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: play video games. Games. Um, there's just games. There's a 62 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: new one. I think it's called, um the Hunt, which 63 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: is sort of like HP Lovecraft meets a first person 64 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: battle royale shooter game. So you're like in teams of 65 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: two hunting monsters, but other people are also hunting monsters 66 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: and you can all kill each other. Boom. It is 67 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: just like gripping I'll call it television. Are you watching 68 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: the ones like Beauty Pie where you have the per 69 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: some talking Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's it's entertaining. 70 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: Most of the people I like are British or Canadian, um, 71 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: I guess famously, the most like pleasant people are probably 72 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: the like the McElroy brothers, the famous podcasting fam Those 73 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: guys play a lot of stuff and it's like, you know, 74 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: unlike Beautie Pie, so much less likely to hear the 75 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: N word, you know, So that's cool. That part is good. 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: A few places you can watch video games be played 77 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: and not here the N word. Yeah, it's mostly look, 78 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: yeah it's to me. I was just like I had 79 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: to cross a rubicon because I was like, now there's 80 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: a third way to be into video games. Like, I know, 81 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: I can't play video games because I have like the 82 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: type of personality that I just remember, like it being 83 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: seven in the morning on a school night and just 84 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: being like one more Zelda Dungeon, and I was like, 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: this is insane, Like I can't do I know, but 86 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I got shipped to do. So you would be up 87 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: until seven, No, I'd be up early, no, seven, just 88 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: really going hard. So I'm like, I can't. I can't 89 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: have video games in my life if I want to 90 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: do anything. Although I guess if you're gonna dovetail some 91 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: kind of broadcast entertainment and video games, maybe I'm just 92 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: doing market research for the thing I wanted to write. 93 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: I said to real playing Civilization sydmyor Civilization game. I 94 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: used to stay up disgustingly late, like with my old roommate, 95 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: like I got him hooked and it looked like a 96 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,119 Speaker 1: weird video game cracked in. We're four in the morning. 97 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, how far are you? I just know I 98 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: can't do that, and I know I will do that 99 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: if I get to playing. But when I'm watching, it's 100 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: just like a sports. It's like a sport. Yeah. I 101 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: wonder if that is going to be like there's gonna 102 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: be a whole new generation people who have like never 103 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: played video games. They're just like, oh, I'm just a fan. 104 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: I just like watching that would be really sad because 105 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: that's like some little brother shit when you're playing right, 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: That's what I like. The other thing that I the 107 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: other walk through that I like is a Resident Evil seven? 108 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that? Is that the newest one? 109 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: I think it is two things that are very funny 110 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: about it. It's super scary and gross and disgusting, but 111 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: they made a VR version, so watching people genuinely be 112 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: freaked out by the VR version is very funny. And 113 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: then it's just like, you know, as good as any 114 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: other horror movie. Yeah, you know, I don't know wherever 115 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: you are on horror movies, it's as good as you 116 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: know the average Resident Evil too fucked me uptally. I 117 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: could not play that at night. What's something you think 118 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: is overrated? Overrated? Is uh? Listening to both sides? All that? 119 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: Specifically for a project, I probably not that I can't 120 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: talk about it, but I'm not ready to talk about 121 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: It's just a personal thing. I've been reading Atlas Shrugged 122 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: and Good Cheesy. It's been a while since I've hate 123 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: red something that's a thousand pages. That's an investment. It 124 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: really is like the most painful thing I've ever done. 125 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: It is like just hateful and the thing is that 126 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: the specific thing I'm getting towards is evidently somewhere in 127 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: the third we'll call it act, the third book of 128 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: Atlas Shrug, there is like a sixty some odd page 129 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: monologue about objectivism. I already got past like the five 130 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: or ten page monologue about the gold standard. That was incredible. 131 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, I was like, I went into this project thinking, well, 132 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: I should do this. This is just intellectual honesty. And 133 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: let me just say right now, intellectual honesty is for 134 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: fucking suckers. Do it pro gold standards way over? Oh yeah, 135 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: of course. Now I'm not, of course on a bitcoin, 136 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: but I did actually buy like a hundred bucks worth 137 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: of bitcoin because I wanted to play poker online with it, 138 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: so I went double gambling. It was really, if you 139 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: want the poorest investment you could possibly make, that's it. 140 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: But iron Rand is pro gold standard. That was like 141 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: her philosophy, I think, so I I I'm I'm basically 142 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: reading the book cold and then going to go do 143 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: some research afterwards. The second screen experience for you as 144 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: of yet, oh my god, the second scroll experience for 145 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: I mean, just say it. Even I haven't finished um 146 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: Atlas Shrugged, but and Rand iron rand. I'm not gonna 147 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: learn how to pronounce it. Um. She lived through World 148 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: War two and multiple times in Atlas Shrugged, she refers 149 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: to um not taking enough profit when you could as 150 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: quote unquote the most evil thing that could be. So 151 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: even like that's an ignorant thing to write in two 152 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: thousand eight, right, a woman that straight up saw Hitler 153 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: come and go right be like, well, you know the 154 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: worst thing is profit motive. Um. All right, We're trying 155 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: to take a sample of what people are thinking and 156 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: talking about right now today, at this moment. Uh. And 157 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: we like to start out by asking our guest, what 158 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: does a myth? What's something people believe to be true 159 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: that isn't true? Andrew, Um, let me see, here's a 160 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: myth that some people believe, although it is being cracked, uh, 161 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: is that um, kung fu is not real at all. 162 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: People believe kung fu is like a legitimate thing. I 163 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: can't step into this. I had. I had a really 164 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: sad conversation with my friends five year old kid who 165 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: is really into Ninjago and Bruce Lee, and I was, um, 166 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: he just shoot on his dreams. Well, I think I 167 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: diverted it. I think I might have talked him into 168 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: a child jitsu class, like A right, yes, I saw 169 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: about the jets mob Homie. I mean, so you're saying 170 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: that kung fu like as we see it in movies 171 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: is just bullshit. It's just something that was made up. 172 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: Beyond that, it is like a thing where it's like 173 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: it is as it is sort of taught in two 174 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: thousand eighteen. It is by far the least effective way 175 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: to learn how to punch and kick someone. Really, Yeah, 176 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: like just go box, you know or you don't know 177 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Andrew is boxes. I I'm okay, okay, Look, I've heard 178 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: about you. I heard you got hands out here. I've 179 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: heard from other people who said you go hard, sometimes 180 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: harder than they expect. I used to be really good 181 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: or like not really good, but I used to be 182 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: able to Like I've only one time in my life 183 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: experienced this, like the actual getting in the flow matrix 184 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: style thing when I was boxing, where I was like, oh, 185 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: I am literally two steps ahead of this person at 186 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: every and it felt like being neo for like thirty seconds. 187 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: This is a person who's very new and I'm not bragging. 188 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm not ever never when you went to that child's 189 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: box right, yea, yeah, bet this was that this kid, 190 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, this kid when ready for that hook no moves. Yeah, 191 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: I've heard that that. Like a lot of the stuff 192 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: that Bruce Lee made cool in movies is just like 193 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: the jump kick is one of the most ineffective things 194 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: that you can possibly do in a fight, like jumping 195 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: straight at someone and trying to kick them, because you're 196 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: just like taking your like all leverage out of the 197 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: equation to be on the ground and you're committing all 198 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: of your weight in one direction. By definition, it's not 199 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: none of those things are necessarily wrong, but learning them 200 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: in a kung fu karate school context is like just 201 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: the least efficient way to learn that stuff. And the 202 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: whole like belt color thing is not the most official thing. 203 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: That's also like that's the true American snowflakes. Like that 204 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: that's like a thing that is essentially marketing that American 205 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: schools do to kind of keep you going. Yeah, and 206 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: you gamify it and you like keep adding little things 207 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: and they're essentially Look, I don't want to like there's 208 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: all kinds of ways, but it is like I just 209 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: really had to like talk this kid down from his 210 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: dream of yeah, and it's all that stuff is fine 211 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: and it's good for your health and blah blah blah. 212 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: And it was also true like it's five like And 213 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: the other thing that I did that was very I 214 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: turned into like the worst Uncle Andrew type person because 215 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: I actually he was like, show me wrestling, show me wrestling, 216 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: So I actually show well, I showed him. I showed 217 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: him a move called an Americana from side control. You 218 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: can And I don't know why I taught a five 219 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: year old how to do this. I'm mostly assumed he 220 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: would not remember how to do it until his sister, 221 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: who I think is three, wandered into the room and 222 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: he showed her how to do it. And I was like, oh, 223 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: not only does he remember, he processed it enough to 224 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: do And I was like, okay, this is exactly what 225 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: like a crappy like adult with no kids rolling. Yeah, 226 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: it was really like I was like, just please, please, 227 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: please please move more practical stuff like a standing triangle, 228 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: you know, I mean stuff he can do on his 229 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: friends at school. I mean, you know, this kid is 230 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: like five year olds are for their size and weight, 231 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: crazy ethletic. Yeah, so I'm pretty studies about how like 232 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: if you could be have a baby's fitness unattainable. Baby 233 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: strength is the strongest, like per pound, Yeah, like yeah, 234 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: based on the size that we ever are basically yeah, 235 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: because the baby needs to you know where babies are 236 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: evolved to like hang onto a tree until someone gets them. 237 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: All right, stay here, baby, just scratchers in the bodega. 238 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: You stay hang on to this parking meter. Alright, let's 239 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: get into it, miles. Puerto Rico has been fixed. Yeah, 240 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: it has because apparently, I guess FEMA they're like yo 241 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: flowers Victory were the funk out of here. But that 242 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: was what we heard yesterday that female was pulling out 243 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: of Puerto Rico despite many people not having potable water 244 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: or electricity, or the fact that many students have left 245 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: because you know, you need computers to learn and you 246 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: can't be learning in burger king all the time, like 247 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: the few places that have WiFi or electricity anyway, So 248 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: that came out yesterday. Apparently today FEMA was saying like, no, 249 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: we're not leaving, because the the original rumor was that 250 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: there were FEMA officials were saying like, oh, well, a 251 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: good amount of supermarkets have opened back up, and you know, 252 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: if we keep giving the food in the in the 253 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: water away, then no one will buy the food in 254 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: the water in the supermarket and that'll and that will 255 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: affect the economy. And then today they were they walked 256 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: it back and they said, well, no, we're not pulling out. 257 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: That was a decision that was being weighed or whether 258 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: or not to, like, you know, take a look at 259 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: what stores were open and figure out if they were 260 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: going to leave. But they are saying that they are 261 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: winding down food and water distribution, which even if they're 262 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: not leaving, to wind down the assistance I think is 263 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: a fucking awful decision. And also when you couple that 264 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: with the fact that the largest like the National Power Company, 265 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: is being privatized to save some money, disaster capitalism at work. 266 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: We talked about this when it happened, but this is 267 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: kind of the neo com playbook. Is you let a 268 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: huge disaster happen and then you go in and privatize everything. 269 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: They did it after Katrina, and yeah, I mean, really, 270 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: the cruelest thing that they could do to these people is, 271 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, continue to give them assistance, because then they 272 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: won't learn to fight for themselves, right, isn't that what? 273 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: Because they're not the Randy and philosophy because they're not Americans, 274 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they're American passports, but we 275 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: don't listen, not act like they're America. It's just it's 276 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: it's a disgrace. I mean, this is like it is 277 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: a little troubling that they feel so confident to trot 278 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: out an argument like grocery store, because it's like that 279 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: means they're so confident in their like lase fair capitalist 280 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: like worldview that they're like, well, people will get on board, 281 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: like it's like weird, like you can both even this 282 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: sort of thing or that can be a consideration. It 283 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: is bizarre that that makes it to the top of 284 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: the pr pile for like why you're why you would 285 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: do this? Well, I think is these soundbites are probably 286 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: just strictly for American people who might be like, well, 287 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: I guess if the stores are open, grocery stores evoke 288 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: like abundance, you know, especially when you're an American and 289 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: you're thinking of American grocery stores, you're like, oh, so 290 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: they have like a safe way open that's just like 291 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: full of all the brands and stuff. Um. Meanwhile, but 292 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: not to even mention like the dire straits that people 293 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: are in financially. So I don't know, you know, that's 294 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: really the sexiest argument as to why you can leave. 295 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: It's like, well the stores open, It's like you have 296 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people are still struggling financially, like dealing 297 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: with the lack of work in the aftermath, just draining 298 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: your savings and things like that. Yeah, so it's a 299 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: very well, their belongings were destroyed, all their yea, you know, 300 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: and people were dying of you know, not because of 301 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: the lack of electricity or potable water. You know, let's 302 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: limit that body count because that's also like the other 303 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: part of the neo conplaybook is like you know, Disaster 304 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 1: Drive GDP, you have to spend money to fix stuff, 305 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: and so it is really like you know, what are 306 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: you gonna do? Like is this good or bad? Like 307 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: more money is flowing because people are have to like 308 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: repair stuff like ah ye, and we're not even really 309 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: sending money there yet, so you know, gonna so they're 310 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: gonna do everybody a favorite and hang out there for 311 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: a little bit longer, a little bit like the pr 312 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: wave that got made. That's really nice. Yeah, that that 313 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: is cool. FEMA almost always gets it, right. I think 314 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: it's what we can say. Uh. And then there's also 315 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: this article that came out in the Atlanta that we 316 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: all read, and it's dark man it is. It's about 317 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: Paul Manafort and it's called American Hustler, which is definitely 318 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: a complimentary like a way of making his struggle sound cool. 319 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: But it opens with him like crying and threatening to 320 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: kill himself to his daughters, and his daughter's being like, 321 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: oh brother, this ship again.

Right. 324 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: It does feel like when the inevitable biopick comes out 325 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: of this, that the role of the daughters is going 326 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: to be a plumb one. That's gonna be the one 327 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: like Oscar bait. Yeah. Um, but yeah, he's if he 328 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: was a torture dude. I mean, like this article is 329 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: wild because it shows you it's like Wolf of Wall 330 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: Street almost for lobbying. Yeah. Yeah, and my created lobbying 331 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: as we know, as we know the super corrupt. Yeah, 332 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: he brought everything like under the same roof, right, that 333 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: was his innovation. And like, how did that change? It 334 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: used to be sort of just lame people offering to, like, 335 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, help a politician get a job, but they 336 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: were saying that, you know, the lobbying industry just in 337 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: general was struggling to squeak by before Manafort, and then 338 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: he came in and in the late seventies and early 339 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: eighties and just now it's like they're the hot shit. Yeah. Yeah, 340 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: with Roger Stone of course at his side, which is 341 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: the other crazy thing too, is as much as Tad himself. Yeah, 342 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: it was. As much as you read this article and 343 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: you hear Manafort, you also see Roger Stone come up 344 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: once you're like, god, damn, this is just the same. Dudes, 345 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: Just stay in the picture. I mean, but I guess 346 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: the one thing is, like it's a long read The Atlantic. However, 347 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: did convert it into like an audio book so you 348 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: can listen to it. We'll put that in the footnotes, 349 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: because honestly, when you listen to this, it's very hard 350 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: to think that anything that happened with Paul Manafort and 351 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: the Russians and the Trump campaign was anything but egregious 352 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: faccory on this part, like he can't feign ignorance here. 353 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: So when he starts getting involved in the Trump campaign, 354 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: his uh friends and advisors are like, dude, you cannot 355 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: do this because he's in a lot of financial trouble, right, 356 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: he owes dictators tons of money. He is just you know, 357 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: he stole money from a fucking oligarch. Likes he's like 358 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: the Friend and Rounders or like some other action movie 359 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: where they're like, oh man, I'm good for it and 360 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: like the guys to come in and save their ass, 361 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: like that's Paul Manaford at the beginning of this. And 362 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: then Trump's like, yeah, you can run my campaign because 363 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 1: the whole thing he was so broke. He knew the 364 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: only way he was going to kind of start getting 365 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: his money back is if he could work with Trump, 366 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: and best case scenario, Trump becomes president and that helps 367 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: elevate his star because everything went wrong once Yanukovich was 368 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: outside in Ukraine or even like placing like I just 369 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: feel like the profile, you just go all in on 370 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: the right wing machine, right, and you just assume like 371 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: being next to Trump is good enough to like at 372 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: least get me out of this. Well, he's like, but 373 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: he was the kind of dude who would just be 374 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: like who was Marcos in the Philippines, Like gave him 375 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: a briefcase like a hundred million or ten million dollars 376 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, can you give this to Reagan? 377 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, I'll give it to Reagan and 378 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: just straight up walked off with the cash and didn't 379 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: give So like his whole thing was just being like, yeah, 380 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: I can get you here. And that was like his 381 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: money making scheme. And so now that was his whole 382 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: idea with Trump was like Okay, I owe this Russian 383 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: olgarch like twenty million dollars that I stole from him, 384 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: And that was his whole thing. Was like he didn't 385 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: tell Trump that, no, no, no, this is his internal 386 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: monologue as he's like, yeah, you know, I'm I'm doing 387 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: great and I can like get you in the right doors. 388 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: And you know he's a wheeler dealer. He had a 389 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: big name. Um. We talked before about how when they 390 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: were talking about his money wandering, they said that he'd 391 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: like wandered money through I think it was like three 392 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars worth of suits something. Uh, And that's 393 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: like not that far fetched because that's like that was 394 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: his thing. Was like getting fancy suit. Yeah, I'm just wondering. 395 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: It really is an art like it really I do 396 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: not have the creativity to come up with enough ways 397 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: to move although my bitcoin poker scheme is right. I mean, 398 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: I think it's a long article. It has everything from 399 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: like crazy arms deals that go south, to him trying 400 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 1: to like launder reputations for dictators and murderous fucking it's wild. 401 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: Just look at the whole thing. And when you get 402 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: to the point of when he meets Trump, he's like, look, 403 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: he's broke as funk, but he realizes Trump is also cheap. 404 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: So if he goes like, hey, I'll work free with 405 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: for free, Trump is gonna be like, oh, this dude 406 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: is rich, he doesn't need money. IM gonna bring him 407 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: one team Trump. And that's how he gets in. And 408 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: the way he even gets it, he calls Tom Barrick 409 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: and he's like, I need to get to Donald Trump, 410 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: and that's how I got there. So it gives you 411 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: another dimension where you thought Paul Manafar was just like 412 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: some doofy dude and you're like, oh, home, he was 413 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: straight evil. Well, it's also just like double grifters or 414 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: triple grifters, like grifters grift ing other grifters camp It's like, 415 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: are you on, are there on a pyramid scheme of 416 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: who is? Like they're just passing around the same briefcase 417 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: full of money at this point, right they have to 418 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: be Yeah, yeah, it's a It was a dream team 419 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: of sort of incompetent crookedness. I mean they all had 420 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: to go in. Every single person in the Trump administration 421 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: went in with the plan of let's shoot the moon, 422 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: let's do everything. Everyone is going to fail so hard 423 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: that we're gonna win. And they did it, which is 424 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: again as a as a gambler, admirable as hell. I 425 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, alright, we're gonna take a quick break. 426 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. And super producer 427 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: Nick Stuff was just saying, it's funny to think about 428 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: the campaign from the Russian perspective because like they already 429 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: have carter page and like all these you know people 430 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: that they have influence with Mike Flynn, uh, you know, 431 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: real in deep with the Trump campaign and then Trump's 432 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: like and guess who our campaign manager is? Do you 433 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 1: think they are like two different teams at the FSB 434 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: just playing like Fantasy Chaos League against each other, and 435 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: they're just like, I don't know all my chips that 436 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: because it's got to be fun for them. Must have 437 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: blew up that grid though, and like and enter new 438 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: player man off. They're like, oh ship, Yeah that means yeah, 439 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: someone had a thousand and one bet on that that 440 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: came in with men right, So dope, all right, So 441 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: we don't want to we do want to talk about 442 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: the stated Union was last night. Um, did you guys 443 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: watch it? Oh? Yeah, I watched it on the equivalent 444 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: of Vine, right whatever, whatever, long clip like yeah, or 445 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: stills some stills some people you know some now this montages. 446 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: The closest we got to getting a consequential policy statement 447 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: was actually after the speech when Trump was walking out. 448 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: So Sarah Sanders had said yesterday that Trump wasn't planning 449 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: on releasing the memo, but then a Republican politician was like, Hey, 450 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 1: you're gonna release that memo, And he was like, So 451 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: that was only because I think they specifically said like 452 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: they were not going to be introducing any new policy 453 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: in this state of the Union. It was all about 454 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: just sort of stiffing on the existing stuff. Yeah. Otherwise, uh, 455 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, I personally find and this isn't just 456 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: a Trump thing. State of the Union time like watching 457 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: while watching the State of the Union passes slower than 458 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: like any time I've experienced since I was like in 459 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: church hungover as a kid, like um, damn I as 460 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: a kid, or well, you know the answer to that 461 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: question is a hard yes, hung ation. Uh So it 462 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: was the third longest State of the Union ever, Dani 463 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: of van Kirk. Yesterday we were talking about the over under. 464 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: He thought it was gonna be the under an hour, 465 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: which is where the Vegas Line put it. I gave 466 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: a hard over and it ended up being the third 467 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: longest ever an hour and a half, which is I mean, 468 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: I have the advantage of having talked about this before 469 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: on the dailies, like I used to knowing that dictators 470 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: give long speeches. Stalin and Castro were like notorious for 471 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: giving like three to four hour State of the Union 472 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: or the equivalent of State of the Union speeches, And 473 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: those are the people Trump wants to be, so of 474 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: course he's going to go long. Um he also like 475 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 1: his teleprompter voices so slow. Yeah. Well there's two versions, right, 476 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: There's Trump, who's who's putting an effort to read. It 477 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: sounds like he's a good reader in class, Like he's 478 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: good at pretending like those are him. That's just him talking. 479 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: And then what I like to call it Trump jazz 480 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: is when he goes off the sheet music, it starts improvising, 481 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: and that's when the ship gets good. That's when the 482 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: most wild ship comes out. And that's what you know 483 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: because you'll see him even like at rallies, he'll transition, 484 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, when he's doing jazz because he's looking around, 485 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: he's saying real controversial ship, and then you can tell 486 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: they're probably even like to go back to the fucking 487 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: prompter and then he'll like start talking again and just 488 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: being very you know, presidential quote unquote. But it was, 489 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing was fucking weird to me, 490 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: just because he was taking shots at many people. Uh. 491 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: And then it started off with like, look at all 492 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: the things that like the last president did to put 493 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: the economy where it is now that I inherited. And 494 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: then that was not literally what he said, but essentially 495 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: that's guy. It was like, oh I did this and 496 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: this and this, and like yeah, you this inherit your 497 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: benefiting from a pattern that begin years ago. Then we 498 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: got into like I was like, when is it gonna 499 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: get dark? And then it did when he started talking 500 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: about immigration and brought out his fucking like freak show 501 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: of exploiting victims of violence or whatever, like whether it 502 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: was using the grieving families of those two women that 503 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: were killed by MS thirteen gang members and using them 504 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: and to be like, it was so disgusting to watch 505 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: these families clearly just in so much pain because their 506 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: children had been killed, for him to just be like, 507 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: and that's what MS thirteen does, and that's why we 508 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: got to stop all this illegal immigration. Like it was 509 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: like a Dare class and that you point to the 510 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: most extreme examples to try and scare kids. We do. 511 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: You smell this stuff? You'll ever smell a guy I 512 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: saw who jumped off his school building because he was 513 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: high on this grass that it ends in like a 514 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: heroin alley right right exactly. And that was like the 515 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: equivalent of all these fearmongering like tacked. It was wild. 516 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: The other thing too, even with the one interesting thing 517 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: was sort of like that he was starting to pivot 518 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: with North Korea, talking about like, oh, like you know 519 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: they have nuclear weapons that we have to stop them, 520 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: like they're an aggressor nation that has to be in it. 521 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: And now like using the like human rights context of 522 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: being like you know, having that amputee, having him there 523 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: to sort of paint like how like this regime and 524 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: like the human rights atrocities that are happening there, and 525 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: even with like Iran trying to like sort of frame 526 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: that as like look at the people standing up, we 527 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: stand with you was kind of eerie because I'm like, 528 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: what are you trying to set up right now like 529 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: that that we have like the moral authority now to 530 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: go like enter some kind of armed conflict with these 531 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: gus well, and the pitch ultimately is like, you know, 532 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: these people suffer so much and there's nothing that dropping 533 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: a nuclear bomb on them wouldn't help. But I'm just like, 534 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: what are you what are you pitching? What are can 535 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: you do these people? That's the other That's why it 536 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: was so it's only just thought to that first moment. 537 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: There's no there's not much thought past that. Yeah, And 538 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: I guess the idea is that because the human rights 539 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: abuses are ongoing things, then it justifies sort of intervention 540 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: rather than just you know responding we will be greeted 541 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: as liberator. That always works, right. Uh So, I feel 542 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: like the thing that kept popping up in my mind 543 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: yesterday was sampling errors, which is, you know, where you 544 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: look at one small sample and assume it's true of 545 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: everything and everyone, because that's you know, that's basically how 546 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: advertising works, that's how are like entire culture works. But uh, 547 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: they've really leaned heavy on that. I think it's a 548 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: state of the Union thing to like have maybe a 549 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: hero or two in the audience. But his was like 550 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: a show and tell of like suffering and heroics, and 551 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: um it was it was like a menagerie of exploitable oddities. Right, 552 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: And you know the MS thirteen thing like big cities 553 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,239 Speaker 1: have seen a surge in This is from a New 554 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: York Times op ed where they were like pointing out 555 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: how wrong that specific sort of illustration was. Uh. They said, 556 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: big cities have seen both a surgeon the foreign born 557 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: population and a dramatic, indeed almost unbelievable decline and violent crime. 558 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, no, So they're seeing a surge 559 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: in immigration and a decline in violent crime, which doesn't 560 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: like numbers don't fit within this narrative, but it's you know, 561 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: but you need that immigrants are people who because you 562 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: also said they take your jobs was all the other thing. 563 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: He's like, well these low wage workers then brought in 564 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: the killer immigrant argument is just what's also like going 565 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: back to the sampling size thing. I think the other 566 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: way I think you guys have talked about this is 567 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: like the the idea that people respond to anecdotes more 568 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: than data exactly by so much. So it's like and 569 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: and you can't fight anecdotes with data, and in this case, 570 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: you can't really fight anecdotes with other anecdotes. Like it's 571 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: a pretty effective I mean, unless you're like, well, look 572 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: at this like dreamer, you know, if it's this immigrant 573 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: came and killed these people, then I guess the counterpoint 574 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: is like some of the Dreamers that were in Houston 575 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: who like selflessly went and rescued people and putting themselves 576 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: in harm way to help other Americans, Like that's a 577 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: great example of him, you know, but I guess it 578 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: doesn't hold up if you're just trying to Yeah, I 579 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: like it. We like it almost feels like the kind 580 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 1: of thing that would resonate with Trump voters would be 581 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: like dreamers who vote Republican and murder MS thirteen members 582 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: like that that's the only thing that will work. Right. 583 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: But it was weird, like every time, like even when 584 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: he was like and look at this black man who 585 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: has a job, like there was like a dude from 586 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: Ohio like work for the other guys company, and Trump 587 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: was just like using It felt weird. And I felt 588 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: like a lot of those people who were using like 589 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: as his examples of the good or the bad or whatever, 590 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: they looked really conflicted when they had to stand, almost 591 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: like that they kind of knew that they were being 592 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: like bloy did yeah, do you think they got told 593 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: that they were gonna have to stand? I don't know. 594 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,959 Speaker 1: There were some people who just looked I mean, I'm 595 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: sure they knew, but like, yeah, I'm sure they didn't 596 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: know that like I'm going to use you as an 597 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: example to paint all immigrants as murderers, Like I don't 598 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: know if it went that far versus like, you know, 599 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: the president would really love to acknowledge your your pain 600 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: and then then cut to him telling all this ms 601 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: R teen ship and then being like all right, now 602 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: stand up, you know, and it's just yeah, it felt 603 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: odd at times. The other funny thing is like with 604 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: all the human rights talk, the way they cheered for 605 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: get Moo, like brought up Guantanamo Bay. You thought fucking 606 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady just walked in with a Super Bowl ring. 607 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: They were like, like, what the fund you cheering getmo 608 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: for like that?

Yeah, the focus 626 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: on the reactions of democrats like that actually seems to 627 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: be a big part of the conservative media responses. Like 628 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: Drudges headline, like his main headline is Trump shows heart 629 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: approve of speech, but like all the headlines about the 630 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 1: speech otherwise are you know black down Stone faced reaction 631 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: to news of low black unemployment, which suggests that Trump 632 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: had just revealed to them for the first time that 633 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: black unemployment was low. And then Pelosi frowns at call 634 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: for working together. So they're trying to portray and Fox 635 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: News is doing the same thing, trying to portray democrats 636 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: and liberals as being unreasonable and not willing to work 637 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: with Trump. I mean, big misstep on Pelosi's part in 638 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: fighting MS thirteen members. As a guest was that was 639 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: and I thought her tear drop tattoo was a little overdone, right, 640 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, she didn't have to have m S thirteen 641 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: tattooed on her throat like that, but it's a bad luck. 642 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: She worked stretch, She did a stretch a Pelican bay 643 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: um and just because this would be what Drudge and 644 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: the right wing media would be focusing on if it 645 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: were on the other foot, The ratings were down compared 646 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: to Obama's first State of the Union, so like way 647 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: down if you compare the two. So yeah, well it 648 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: was funny because I knew so many people who are actively, 649 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: like aggressively trying to avoid it, and clearly like I 650 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: wanted to, but we can't because we gotta keep our 651 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: finger on the pulse. So I had to grin and 652 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: get through it. But it was that pulse is pretty erratically. 653 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: It's wild. I think it's a there's hard palpitations, for sure, 654 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: we may have a fip, but yeah, it was a 655 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: wild ride. And I just don't like, you know, the 656 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: fucking the chain migration thing, Like they need to stop 657 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: with this chain migration ship, Like are you guys at 658 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: with that rhetoric? Do I feel like it's weaponized? It 659 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: should not. It should not be called chain migration. They 660 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: need to stop doing that. Family. Family, It is a 661 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: very important thing. Like my grandmother was able to come 662 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: here when my grandfather died in Japan because she was 663 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: sucking like she was alone, so we brought her over here. 664 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: We were able to because it's about unifying the family 665 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: rather than like leaving my grandma in Japan. And the 666 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: idea that like this is like unlimited family members getting 667 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: like it's not a promo at fucking olive garden where 668 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: you're like unlimited lobster and and family members getting free. 669 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: With chain migration, it's about, you know, people when they 670 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: migrate here, you don't want to have them isolated because 671 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: that's when they become vulnerable to extremism and shipped like that. 672 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 1: And if you have them there and you can maintain 673 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: some kind of semblance of a family unit, that's good 674 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: for everyone. And I think to like begin weaponizing this 675 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: ship and and basically turning this whole conversation to let's 676 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: just end fucking legal migration in general. Wild. Yeah, I mean, 677 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: that's the crazy thing is just they seamlessly went from 678 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, which they've been saying for years, you know, 679 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: that's our main thing. They're not falling the right way, 680 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 1: and then suddenly just seamlessly shift to and we want 681 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: to limit legal migration. We want to like cut it 682 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: by a third essentially. It was also crazy. It was 683 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: like even talking about the lottery that was so overly 684 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: grossly mischaracterized on how that process works. It was just 685 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: like lie after lie, which is wild because if he 686 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: isn't just like, oh, you reach your fucking hand in 687 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: the bucket. And then this person comes like these people 688 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: already even to get in the program, you gotta have 689 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 1: a high school diploma and like work in a specific 690 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 1: industry like they're already did. And then once you get picked, 691 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: they will do a background check, they'll interview you, and 692 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: if they think you're security risk, you even go through 693 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: even more vetting. So it's it was just like a 694 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: lot of yeah, just fucking lies, but you know we're 695 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: But it's also just like I think I talked about 696 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: this one of the early times. It is the Gish gallop. 697 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: It's just like you tell so many lies, like even 698 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: what you're doing now, right, it's like point by point refutation. 699 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: It is just like it's exponential because it takes ten 700 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: sentences to refute a one sentence or even two sentences, right, 701 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 1: that's still exponential. And then you're just you're fun because 702 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: you sound like a person that's taking too long to 703 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: explain something that thank you doctor directly. Yeah. Yeah, Plus 704 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: there was that one guy who came over on the 705 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: lottery who attacked people in New York even though he 706 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: was radical. Uh yeah, I'm actually reading this book on 707 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: the Second Coming of the KKK. The KKK like started 708 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the Civil War, but then had 709 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: a huge agents in the nineteen twenties, which was a 710 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: just crazy racist, uh and anti Semitic period in American history. 711 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: Like it was when people were kind of on board 712 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: with all the dictatorships and authoritarian movements going on in Europe. 713 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 1: And there was something called the Business Plot where people 714 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: like Henry Ford and like really powerful business people tried 715 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 1: to overthrow the government that just people don't talk about 716 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: because it's kind of a scary story about how corporations 717 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: can become so powerful and corrupt. But um so this 718 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: book about the Second Coming of the KKK. One of 719 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: their main successes during that decade and it lasted for 720 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: forty years, was immigration. Like I hadn't realized that, Like 721 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: so many of the talking points from them in the 722 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: nine twenties are like line up with what people were 723 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,919 Speaker 1: saying up to and including uh, the idea of they're 724 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: asking for Nordic uh, like immigrants. They're like, we need 725 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: more Nordic immigrants and need to cut down on you know, 726 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: all other types. They were actually mad about Irish and 727 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: Italian at the time, to see there's something to agree 728 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: with on, you know, common ground anyway, the Irish am 729 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: I right, um potatoes O'Brien, Yeah, you said potatoes before 730 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 1: we started recording in away that truly was like, but yeah, 731 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's uh, you know, it's been a 732 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: KKK talking point for almost a hundred years. And yeah, 733 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: we're rebooting the nineteen twenties just in time. How to 734 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: do the reboot twenties? Is twenties? Well, yeah, with these 735 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: tax cuts, you know, even though he was like, I 736 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: gave the largest tax cut ever, it's like, oh no 737 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: he didn't, but but we know who did. And with 738 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: that sick but that kicked off? Baby? How did that end? 739 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: Just kept roaring right, kept rowing on through the World 740 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: War three? Right, so great. But the real highlight for 741 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: me was the response at the end. Can we move 742 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 1: on to the response? I want to make sure I 743 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: want to make sure we're good. You watched somebody named 744 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: Joseph Keady key not familiar part. How do you say Cannadie? 745 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,959 Speaker 1: This kid Joe Cannadie, the third the three apparently he's 746 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: part of some uh sort of you know, big big 747 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: family dynasty of politicians. Oh Kennedy, that's so our FK's grandson, 748 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: Young Kennedy, which is his new rapper name, which I 749 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: think is a dope. That's actually Young Kennedy is And 750 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 1: I want to say that on Twitter, so don't steal 751 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: that. That That could be my new mak. But anyway, Young 752 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: Kenny came out and he gave the response to the 753 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: State of the Union, which is normally like the wackiest ship. 754 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: Like you don't want to be the person getting a 755 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: response because I think did it after Barack's first year 756 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: in an empty ass hallway and they're like it was 757 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: so transparent as he was like, well here's our non 758 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,720 Speaker 1: white I talking. Looks like the effect of the speech 759 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: was like they just told him moments before turning the 760 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 1: camera on him that he had to do it, because 761 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: he was like so shook and just like caught off guard. 762 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: I think, did Marco Rubio do it when he had 763 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: a dry mouth? You could hear him. Yeah, but it 764 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: is like a thing, right, it's just gotta be. They 765 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: treated as the minor leagues for Yeah, they test you 766 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,800 Speaker 1: out there like let's see how people respond to you. 767 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: Let's if they're picking up what you're putting down. And 768 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: let me tell you, Joe Kennedy fucking laid it the 769 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: fun down. I was so surprised at how well this 770 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: dude like gave his speech. I mean again, it could 771 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: also be the effect of immediately following a fucking heaping 772 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: trash fire that happened before in the in the formula 773 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: State of the Union. But I thought he was a 774 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: really great speaker. He came off very sincere. The speech 775 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: was very idealistic, but I liked that it was definitely 776 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: like left of center left too with some of his 777 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: talking points, which some like, like liberal pundits after like 778 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: I wish she was a little more centrist. It's like, 779 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm not, We're not winning with that kind of messaging. 780 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: Uh talk that ship. Then he's like, I wish people 781 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: could see miles his face. Yeah, I'm I'm like animated 782 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 1: and I only had one cold brew to day. Halfway 783 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: through or towards the end, and he's like to the Dreamers, 784 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: straight up switches it to Spanish on him and not 785 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: in an awkward way like the VP candidate. Yeah, it 786 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: wasn't like to do it, and it sounded like he 787 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: was your seventh grade Spanish teacher. Like it was like 788 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: very like, I don't know what flavor I mean, because 789 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: Tim Kane speaks great, perfect Spanish. Yeah, this dude just 790 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: looked like he switches to Spanish in his day to 791 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: day language. He just came through. Sorry and Sophie are 792 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: who's sitting in for super producer Annajosnier just wanted me 793 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 1: to say a boner alert alert, the third boner alert. 794 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: He's got red hair, which is a thing she's into 795 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: every since. But yeah, he is a good looking dude. 796 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: He's a good looking do When he switched to the 797 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: Spanish though, I was impressed. Apparently he was working in 798 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic, I think with the Peace Corps, so 799 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: he's not just you know, he's he's out there, he's 800 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: putting he's putting in some work. But it was refreshing 801 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 1: to see someone be able to give a response without 802 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: like even directly addressing the president. Like it was just 803 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: about he was really kind of laying out the kinds 804 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: of values that I think like resonate with people from 805 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: a more popular standpoint of like, you know, you should 806 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: be able to afford to get your education, you know, 807 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 1: not go broke from needing healthcare and things like that. 808 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,760 Speaker 1: And he didn't in a way that was very Obama asque. 809 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: Like you could tell his favorite rapper was Barack Obama 810 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 1: because the first make stape sounds exactly like Barack Obama, 811 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: but it was more of the cadence. It didn't feel 812 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 1: like a blatant rip off, but you knew he was 813 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: looking at some tape. Um And the way the media 814 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: is covering this is drool gate. They're being like, it 815 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,280 Speaker 1: looked like maybe he had some spin on his lips 816 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: or something. Um here man, because I think he just 817 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: over over chap sticked his lips. He's probably a guy 818 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: I with chap chap lips all the time. And then 819 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: he probably went a little overboard with the chapstick and 820 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: his lips were a little bit smaller than the diameter 821 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: of the chapstick still got to the edges. He had 822 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: some shiny ship going on, right. I feel like if 823 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: they were just really like, just don't have dry mouth, 824 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: whatever you do, so you know, they went the opposite direction, 825 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: right the ship, you'll bring that baby oil over here 826 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 1: at this Republicans dry Democrats wet. Right, we are going 827 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: to take a quick break. We'll be right back. And 828 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 1: we're back, and uh, we wanted to talk about this 829 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:45,720 Speaker 1: New York Times story that just came out, I believe yesterday, Uh, 830 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,720 Speaker 1: where they did a really in depth study into whether 831 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: the Fast and the Furious movies caused people to drive 832 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: faster a century. Um, that sounds like a wild bet 833 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: like that to journalist, and they're like smoking weed, Like 834 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: you think people drive faster after seeing the movie. No, 835 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, let's go to the that needs to be 836 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: they need to have a section of the paper that 837 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 1: is just that just kind of drunk conversations like settling 838 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: I know to be true about myself, but like I 839 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: definitely didn't know that you could statistically prove it, but 840 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: like I definitely drive faster after seeing Fast in the 841 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,839 Speaker 1: Furious movies. Right, So they did an exhaustive search or 842 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 1: like went through many speeding tickets, right right, They just 843 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: looked at a single county I believe, and just you know, 844 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 1: across time and did a really detailed statistical analysis of 845 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: you know, how much speeding tickets rose and what the 846 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: speed people were clocked at was when they got speeding tickets, 847 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,959 Speaker 1: and there was a significant like a rise in the 848 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,439 Speaker 1: months after a fest in the Furious movie came out, 849 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: and people were more likely to get caught speeding near 850 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: movie theaters also, And then they compared it with like 851 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: Hunger Games really sweekends no fluctuation. Hunger Games had no fluctuation. 852 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. This is something that I've 853 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: always thought was underrated. And I think I might think 854 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 1: that because I am more affected by popular culture than 855 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: other people. But just how influenced we are by popular culture, 856 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: like that seems to be yeah, by the daily Like 857 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: like I've just thought it's underrated, how we change minds 858 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: every day, are creating new world parts to know. But 859 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 1: like growing up, I was always I would like find 860 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: myself like talking like a movie character or something, just 861 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: because I don't know, I would like take it in. 862 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:48,479 Speaker 1: When I was watching The Sopranos a lot, I had 863 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: this weird New York accent for like a couple of months. 864 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: Oh my god. The week I got the Mr. Show 865 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: DVD set was by far my most insufferable. There's no 866 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 1: worse person. And Andrew the week after he watched all 867 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: of Mr. Schuf Um. Yeah, and I mean, there's other examples, 868 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 1: like the whole thing with family being a big value 869 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 1: with mafia people. Uh, that was mostly started by the 870 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: Godfather and like they incorporated that afterwards, but it was 871 00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,800 Speaker 1: mostly prior to that. It was just like crime organizations, 872 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: like any other games, just like the forty Italians on 873 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: Your Block exactly. Uh, but not family dinners and all that, 874 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: right right? Um? Yeah, and the way they dressed was 875 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 1: influenced by Brando in another movie. Uh. So it's I 876 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: don't know, I think that's an underrated thing. Do you 877 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,919 Speaker 1: guys ever, do you feel like you've made any big 878 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: life decisions based on what you're watching? Man, I think 879 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. If it's what I'm watching, maybe it is. Uh. 880 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: I really used to only exclusively smoked blunts because of 881 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: Wu Tang Clan, uh and seeing Method Man and Red 882 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: Man and I'm like, oh, they're always okay smoke rolling 883 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: up a backwood. I don't know. Hip hop definitely changed 884 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: altered a lot of my consumption habits from drugs and alcohol. Yeah, 885 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 1: by design, I hope that's why. That's right. Right. Going 886 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,359 Speaker 1: back to the video game thing, actually, now I'm now 887 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 1: that we're talking about it, the Look, this is gonna 888 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: age me a little bit. But when my roommates, when 889 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 1: Vision came out, when when my roommates were playing a 890 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: lot of Grand Theft Auto three, it really desensitized me. 891 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: Not in the way that you would think to violence. 892 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 1: It really desensitized me to how allowed you are to 893 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: just walk into traffic right like I thought you could 894 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: just like I would just kind of do it, and 895 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: it just kind of stare down cars, being like the 896 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: funk you want? This is in New York Launch, Yeah, 897 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: a little more acceptable, but it made you feel like 898 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: you were invincible to cars or made sorry made me 899 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 1: feel like I was invincible to cars. It gave me 900 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: the opposite effect I would be driving. I'm like, what 901 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: if I just rand these people over? Like a yeah? 902 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 1: And then and then the New York Times next, uh 903 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 1: study that they need to do is weather in the 904 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: aftermath of Grand Theft Auto game releases, if like, uh, 905 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: pedestrians getting hit like rises. I don't know, but but 906 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 1: there was a study that said violent video games don't 907 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:20,240 Speaker 1: necessarily affect people's behavior, right a thousand studies saying both, Yeah, 908 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: I think the thing is it's more subtle than that, right, 909 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: It's it's less like, oh, you think you can just 910 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,760 Speaker 1: beat people up, But I do think there's like something 911 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: akin to like they just you know, you become less 912 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: sensitized to how dangerous a car is, or maybe like 913 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,399 Speaker 1: you could you could do like research into like kind 914 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 1: of disciplinary issues in a school, like either side of 915 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,000 Speaker 1: a video game release, because you might walk in your 916 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: class and just talk spicy to your teacher or like 917 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: rougher kid up. I just come high off this Vice 918 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,399 Speaker 1: City right now. Yeah, I just like the idea of like, 919 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 1: first of all, listen, I'm just using this as uh, 920 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: this is poor man's copyright. I just really want to 921 00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 1: do someone to do a Purge movie that's just a 922 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,720 Speaker 1: out tax fraud. But you know, all crime is legal, 923 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be violent crimes, just like tax amnesty 924 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't know, like like if you if 925 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: you if you follow your fraud file, your fraudulent taxes 926 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 1: on Purge Day, what happens? I made nothing this year. 927 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 1: I just said, I just think there's a room for 928 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: a comedy in that universe. That's all. But second of all, 929 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, I see it's like like or with the 930 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 1: Hunger Games example, like it's not like, oh, people are 931 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: out shooting arrows because the Hunger Games thing is out. 932 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 1: But like, do people have a different like relationship to 933 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: authority or or whatever? Like is that the power of 934 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 1: the media, y'all? I wish someone had studied this? Yeah? Well, yeah, 935 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 1: I wonder if bow hunting increases after Hungry Games. Yeah, 936 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: or Winter's Bill. Well, my friends, My Friends kid is 937 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,800 Speaker 1: all about kung fu because of Ninjago. Yeah, um, bringing 938 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,760 Speaker 1: it full circle. Yeah, And I do feel like movies 939 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 1: despite the fact that they're supposedly made by liberals in uh, 940 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: you know, holly weird in urban places, they like the 941 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: Hunger Games. Uh. A writer at Cracked, David Wong, talked 942 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,720 Speaker 1: about how like the values in our movies are all 943 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 1: like pro rural people, like people out in the sticks, 944 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: and like anti people in cities, like, for instance, in 945 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,280 Speaker 1: The Hunger Games, the capital everyone's like a elaborately dressed 946 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: like weirdo. Or in Star Wars, like you know, the 947 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: the Empire is like the city, and then like Luke, 948 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:39,280 Speaker 1: the heroes out in the rural areas. And our producer 949 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: Sophie Lichterman has just shown me that yes, in fact, 950 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: there was a huge rise in girls bow hunting or 951 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,919 Speaker 1: learning how to shoot arrows and archery back when hunger 952 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: Games happened. Uh yeah, and there's all there's always a 953 00:52:55,360 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: huge spike in uh clown fish after like a Nemo movie. Yeah, 954 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 1: people have to I think owls. There was like a 955 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: huge owl epidemic after Harry Potter and people are like 956 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: the wildlife. People were like, guys, stop, this is a yeah, 957 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,839 Speaker 1: this is a terrible idea. Um, but yeah, that that 958 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 1: is always problematic after a kids movie comes out with 959 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 1: an adorable animal.
