00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Greco is one of those rare like I don't know,

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Renaissance but like master painters who also sounds like a bookie,

52
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: like a little bit. Yeah, nobody else feeling me on that. Well,

53
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: it's all right. It sounds like a mob episode. Greco

54
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: hashtag canceled. So so yeah, like I I don't. I

55
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: was an art history major, so I like to sprinkle in.

56
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah yeah, but I didn't. I was a sports

57
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: gambling major, so yeah I did. I didn't go to

58
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: class or anything. So I'm always like looking to paintings

59
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: and being like is that is that a um el

60
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Greco or mm hmm, yeah, it could be el Greco

61
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: or probably Rembrandt, yeah, or you know, or it could

62
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: be could be uh Pollock Jackson. I mean, they're all

63
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: very similar, that's it impossible to tell them apart. I mean, way,

64
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: oh Greco and Rembrandt overlapped, but not Pollock. Come on, now, Chris,

Speaker 1: a play acting into play. I was gone for six weeks,

74
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: and I came back to just like I don't know

75
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: if it's depression from like from COVID I had when

76
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: I was in New York, or whether it's from just

77
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: like being you know, popping around New York City and

78
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: then coming back to like this living situation that I'm

79
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: not crazy about. But I'm sort of spaced out, like

80
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure if it's code long COVID

81
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, but I definitely feel like I had

82
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: COVID like a month ago now, and I feel like

83
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: I feel a little odd, like I don't know, so

84
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit spaced out. So you know, if

85
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,880

89
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: quite feel more. I'm trying to figure out how. But

90
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, I can't get the joy from you know,

91
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm drinking as much cold brew as I can, I'm

92
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: watching as much abandoned mind videos as I can, and

93
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: I still can't seem to get back to my usual

94
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: level of you know, just like barely hanging on. Now.

95
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm like usually I'm hanging on with like yeah, three fingers,

96
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: and now I'm hanging out with too. I definitely felt that,

97
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: like it's a little maybe it's an overstatement, but you know,

98
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: but I'm hanging out. I'm not feeling it. It feels

99
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: a little bit different. I can I definitely hear that.

100
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like other people who have experienced

101
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: like a similar thing where they were sort of confused.

102
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know if I'm like just have

103
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: a general malaise or if I have long COVID is

104
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: something i've well, right, what a time to sort through symptoms,

105
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like how could you tell? Like,

106
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: I mean you could have I can have a lot

107
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: of ailments, but I mean like it could all be

108
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: just reading the news, Like you don't you know what

109
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like, I don't know. I either have

110
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: long COVID or I read the news, or I'm clinically

111
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: depressed or I'm just a realist. I mean, how do

112
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: you you know? Or or else I have too much

113
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: clutter behind me in this zoom in the zoom video,

114
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Like what could it? Who knows what it is? It's

115
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: hard to pinpoint. I like a nice little, seamless blend

116
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: of depression, anxiety and stomach issues that's always good. Like

117
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: is my stomach is that because of MS McConnell causing

118
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: Is my stomach causing it? Or should I have brain

119
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: or my brain causing my stomach? Should I have put

120
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: two cold bruise in that fucking beer funnel. I've drank

121
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: as much cold brew as I possibly can today, and

122
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: I still feel like shit. And I still feel so

123
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: anxious and so much candy too, not doing anything to

124
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: set on my stomach. I mean, you've taken all my

125
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: suggestions drink as much cold brew as your body can

126
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: possibly contain and candy. That's the thing is. Also, I

127
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: have like a nineteen fifties idea of what like health

128
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: and wellnesses. Like It's like I went bowling. I still

129
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: feel I went bowling, bowing, smoked a bunch of cigarettes,

130
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: and I still feel like ship the hula hoop for

131
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Hey, a huge hamburger with green peppers in it.

135
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: car like absolute shit. I'm wearing my strappy undershirt. That's

136
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: what the doctor's gonna about to ask, are you are

137
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,680

139
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: except for maybe just I don't know. I have a

140
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,280

141
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: some more men have a few schlits. Are you gambling enough?

142
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: That's the question, right, What is something from your search history?

143
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: So I've already given the game away a little bit

144
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: because to a couple of things in my search history

145
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: a water Part Vegas and American Ninja Warrior Vegas. But

146
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I can tell you the other thing we landed on,

147
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: which was Munster Jam Vegas, because that was the last

148
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: thing I was. I was in Vegas for full week

149
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: and I was pretty bored during the days. So Monster Jam,

150
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,200

152
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: doing backflips, jumping over things. It was also that the

153
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: addition of Jam makes it feel like they're getting to, like,

Speaker 1: just monster yeah freestyle, and anyone with their own truck

157
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: can kind of sit in. It's just a jam, baby,

161
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in the famous truck called Grave Digger.

162
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: But what do you got? I got this old one

163
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Chevy S ten with a tonnel cover. We can kind

164
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: of bube out with it. It's it's mostly made from

165
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: a cigar books uhand that made it. Yeah, I've been

166
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: passed down for generations. It's been through, been to a

167
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: few jams. Wait was Grave Digger President? Because I feel

168
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: like a monster jam. I only like it used to

169
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: be Bigfoot was like the monster truck that like the

170
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: both O. Yes, then it's a proper monster jam Thomas

171
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: and Macarina. That's exactly it. That's the only place it

172
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: can be something though it was like some like nineties

173
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: hip hop remake of the Monster Mash. But I'm glad.

174
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: I'm glad it is what it is. I've definitely heard

175
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: from like people who I wouldn't expect necessarily to be

176
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: monster truck fans, just in the traditional sense, being like

177
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: I went to a Monster Truck rally. It's awesome and

178
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: now that is something I'm into, Like I identify as

179
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: a monster truck person, you know, like that. I don't

180
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: know if I would put myself that far in the category.

181
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: But I'm definitely someone who gets bored on the road

182
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: doing stand up around the country and looks for things

183
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: to do, and yeah, maybe I'll get something I could

184
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: talk about on stage out of it, or maybe I'll

185
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: just get an experience out of it that I can

186
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: tell people about, or just enjoy myself for a couple

187
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: of hours before I go back to the hotel room.

188
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: For you, what's been the most fruitful sort of like

189
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: experimental event you went to, like in the same vein

190
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: and you're like, holy shit, I got a lot of

191
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: more out of this in many levels than I thought

192
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: I would. Oh, that's a great question. I don't I

193
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: honestly don't know. I I think some of the ones

194
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: that are just surprising. Going going to a laser tag

195
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: in a with another comic that was that was a

196
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: lot of fun. That was just like I was expecting.

197
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I hadn't been since I was a kid, and I

198
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: was like, all right, let's see how we go. And

199
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: then it was just you know, we we absolutely murdered

200
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: the kids. Oh my god. Where it's just like real.

201
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: You know, you're doing stuff during the day and most

202
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: people have real jobs. So if you go and do

203
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: these things, it not just being a couple of idiot

204
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: comedians and then just parents like a seventh great Birthday

205
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: party exactly, and I want to send the great Birthday party.

206
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'll let the kids have their fun,

207
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: and then like one of them shot my kid and

208
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: then I was just on a rampage after like it

209
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: was like not doing fun stuff. I was, I like

210
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: found a good spot and then just like sniped the

211
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: hell out of like everyone were first it were you

212
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: playing at ultra Zone? Yeah? I talked. We talked about this. Yeah,

213
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: where you get where you used to work? Where I

214
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: used to work in Dr Dre watched me make me

215
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: very uncomfortably go there to Matt it was that was

216
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: that where you went for for later? No, where's where's

217
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: ultra Zone? Ba lead like in Sherman Oaks And we

218
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: don't even need to tell people that usually justin you

219
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: can cut that out because ultrazone is nationally famous. I

220
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: done knows where ultrazone is someone surviving? Did you get

221
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: ultra Zone? Was it ultrasone? Then ultra Zone? Know what

222
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: is that? That's actually the first thing that Miles had

223
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: on his resume when we were like thinking about, uh,

224
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, bringing him on for this show was proud alumnus,

225
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: alumnus of Ultra Zone exactly and no no follow up,

226
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: just Ultra Zone. That's it. That's all you need to know.

227
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Is a week the longest time you've ever spent consecutively

228
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: in Vegas? And follow up? Is it the longest time

229
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: anyone has ever spent consecutively in Vegas? Because that feels

230
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: like a long time to be in Las Vegas. It

231
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: is a very long time. I would say. I would

232
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: say pen and Tella have beaten that amount of time

233
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: place several decades. But other than that, they have to

234
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: get out. We need travel every day. Well, they definitely

235
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: don't live on the strip. I'm pretty sure they live

236
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: in nice houses and then commute into the Yeah, I

237
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: would say that is exactly five and a half days

238
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: longer than you should ever spend in Vegas. Vegas is

239
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: fantastic for about thirty six hours, and that's that's the limit.

240
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: I hadn't work on a Senate campaign there for months,

241
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: and were you on this trip to just like literally

242
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 1: one block off the strip like that? The Candlewood extended

243
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: stays fucking hotel, Matt, you have no idea. This was

244
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: like right after the subprime like crash, so there were

245
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: so many displaced people living in this extended stay like hotel,

246
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: like on Halloween, like kids or trick or treating, and

247
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: like I had like a front row seat at like

248
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: the financial collapse of America, and I changed at a

249
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: molecular level being there for two months. I'm not gonna

250
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: lie it. It definitely put something, put some pep in

251
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: my step to get the funk out of politics. Uh well,

252
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: on Thoroughly Disturbed, what is something you think is underrated?

253
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: I've got an underrated and an overrated that go together

254
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: this week, and this one goes out to all all

255
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: my white friends, all my white homies who listened to

256
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: this podcast. Underrated hats, overrated sunscreen? How can I put this?

257
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: I was on an outdoor shoot recently and they were like,

258
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna be outdoors all day, protect yourself from the sun.

259
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: You could really tell who had been outside and who

260
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: had not. I just was spending the whole day watching

261
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: people's shoulders grossed and it's not fun, and they're like,

262
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: it's fine. I put on sun block. Some block lasts

263
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: for two hours maximum. You have to keep putting it on,

264
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: and even then you're not going to get every single

265
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: inch because you can't reach every single inch of your back.

266
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: Just wear a hat, Just wear sleeves. It's a effective

267
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: it's not sticky. You don't have to reapply it. You

268
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: just put it on one and done. Baby, you go,

269
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: just don't. I just see so many people get sunburned

270
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, it's not a big deals. It

271
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: is a big deal. Man. Your skin is roasting from

272
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the light. It's not cool. Like, it's not normal. You're

273
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna get skin cancer. I'm upset for you. You know,

274
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: you smell like a turkey on Thanksgiving. I'm hungry. You're

275
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: making me hungry. I do like to reapply my hat,

276
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: but that's because I like to do funky little tricks

277
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: with it, spins and flips and stuff. Yeah, but it's

278
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: not like, yeah, yeah, that move, that's always a fun one.

279
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: I was sold by a thirteen year old that wearing

280
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: your hat like like just sort of setting it on

281
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: top of your head is the dominant way to wear

282
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: the hat because it makes your head look bigger. And

283
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: the way that Jack is wearing the hat is not

284
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not gonna say it's submissive, but it is

285
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: not dominant. I'm a big hat sub. They say, oh wow,

286
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: look at this sub sandwich that just pulled up with

287
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: his hat all low. Okay, and I'm coming to that

288
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: big dom energy because I got like a ten gallon fitted. Yeah,

289
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: just real, real high. But yeah, I gotta recommend, gotta

290
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: recommend above all things, hats and shirts. I think they're

291
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: great ideas, you know, just you gotta wear. I feel

292
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: like there's there's sort of a feeling kind of the

293
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: norm here is that when it's hot, you show more skin.

294
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: And that may have been a thing that you could

295
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: do when we didn't live in a time of heat

296
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: waves literally every summer. But you know, it's it's hot,

297
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: it's not the heat, it's the light, you know, Yeah,

298
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: it's the light that burns you. It doesn't have to

299
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: be that hot for you to get sun burned. Um,

300
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: protect your neck, guys, you know, bandanas or your friend

301
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: shirts or your friend they soak up your sweat, which

302
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: is nice. I didn't ski growing up, but like there

303
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: would always be kids coming back from like ski trips

304
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: and they would just have like white there and then

00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: so many viral posts of white people getting absolutely violated

00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: by the sun's rest. I'm saying, dude, they don't understand.

00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: do you want to wear sun screen? He was like, no,

321
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't like putting stuff on my face. I was like,

322
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: for sure, dude. And then we were talking about it

323
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: and I was like, so, why do you feel like

324
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: you need to be stronger than the sun. Yeah, here's

325
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: a question for you. Why do you feel like, as

326
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: a man you have to be like, no, it's fine,

327
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm I don't the sun. Even if the sun hurts me,

328
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: it's okay because because it's you know, I can take it.

329
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: Do you think that you are you can beat the sun?

330
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: The sun is a you know what I mean? Yes,

331
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: that's you are extremely virile, extremely tough. My balls are

332
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: so big that they will block out the sun and

333
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: I will shade myself with them. And I was also

334
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: like my my circuitry was pretty much formed at a

335
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: time when I thought I was invincible, like in my

336
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: teenage years. And yeah, it reminds me of like people

337
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: like I. I I do. I think you're right to single

338
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: out white people. I think people like I've always made

339
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: fun of how people from New England are about the

340
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: cold where they're like this is this isn't cold to me?

341
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Wear shorts in this ship, Like that's how basically all

342
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: white people are for the most part with regards to

343
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: the sunscreen and the sun. And I I my my

344
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: wife is not white and wears a lot of like

345
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: sun protective stuff, and that's the only reason it's evident

346
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: to me that I am a com But like my

347
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: the where I was coming from was incredibly wrong. My wife,

348
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: We've talked about people wearing driving gloves on this podcast before,

349
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, driving gloves. My wife was

350
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: wearing driving gloves. I just didn't know that's what they were,

351
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: but you know, yeah, She's like, I'm not cooking. I'm

352
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: not cooking. My fucking hands were crazy. I remember my

353
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: mom used to first she wear long sleeve and golf gloves,

354
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: and all my friends would be like, yo, your mom

355
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: plays golf, but like, why don't you take her golf

356
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: gloves off? I'm like, bro, she's so fair skinned. She

357
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: just and she reads too much about the sun. But

358
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: I'm on the other side. There's also like toxic like

359
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: people of color anti sunscreen sentiment too, which is, oh,

360
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: we got melanin, right, you can still you can still

361
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: burn with screen. I know, And I'm saying I was

362
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: raised on that version to where my dad would be

363
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: like telling my mom, like, you need sunscreen, not this

364
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: brown young man here. We're good. We have melanin and

365
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: I and then it took like my friend to become

366
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: like a nurse like in our twenties, to be like,

367
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's all bullshit, right, I'm like, it's still

368
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't get burned. It's like, yeah, but your ship

369
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: will be great, like the effects or that you might

370
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: not burn, but everything else happens. I'm like, oh no,

371
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: my beautiful skit. And going back to four year old's

372
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: real quick. But sunscreen sucks when you have a four

373
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: year old and you gotta put sunscreen on every inch

374
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: of their body and they are like, they don't like that. Ship.

375
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: At least my four year old does not like that.

376
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: You try to put it on their face and their

377
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: nose is running and then you're just rubbing their own

378
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: snot mixed with the sunscreen, all around their face and

379
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: then they're crying and they're sand and you know, because

380
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: also what it does is I remember as a kid,

381
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: it just delays you from getting the pool or whatever,

382
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: like meeting up with your friends. You're like, yeah, I'm here,

383
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: you're taking your ship off. You're like ready to hop

384
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: in the point like your parents like that that that.

385
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: Now let me rub your back for five minutes to

386
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: put the lotions on or what and now wait for

387
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: it to dry and then go in the pool. M

388
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: hm hm. Alright, let's take a quick break, we'll come back,

389
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about some news, and we're back. All right,

390
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: Let's move on to a story. The the hook is Coachella.

391
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: The thing hanging on that hook is the entirety of

392
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: our crumbling system. Yeah. Yeah, So the Coachella Owners, which

393
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: a e G. Is the company that most people are

394
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: probably familiar with, but they are owned by the Anschutz Corporation,

395
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: which is not, as you pointed out, Miles, the made

396
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: up Nazi company from the Man in the High Tower.

397
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: But it doesn't corporation. I'm like, yeah, yeah, they owned everything.

398
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: You're a e G. That actually stands for the Ant

399
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Shouts Entertainment Group if you weren't aware, or a access

400
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: dot com where you buy tickets like they they they're

401
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: behind Coachella there, behind Stagecoach. They own a ton of

402
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: sports venues like there. They have their hands on fucking

403
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: everything like in the in terms of like live entertainment.

404
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: And we talked recently, just just some context about how

405
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: Coachella is like this marketing event that was created by

406
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: people who were like, yeah, man, people really liked the

407
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: like Woodstock and like those idealistic things. What if we

408
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: took that but made it completely just marketing and devoid

409
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: of any value other than like cultural signifiers. What what then?

410
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: So Coachella, like all the way down is you know,

411
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: it feels very It starts to feel more gross when

412
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: we get through this story where you figure out it's

413
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: like is it a collection get it's like a donation

414
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: gathering event to put more right wing wackos in office.

415
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: So not to say that the line is that clear,

416
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: but when you start digging in popular information, if you

417
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: follow that newsletter or the work of Judd Legum reported

418
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: along with the Rolling along with the Rolling Stones journalistic

419
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: and fucking all right, yeah, exactly, They're they're doing their thing.

420
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: They reported that, you know, the company, the parent company,

421
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: the corporation, made a pretty sizable donation to our a

422
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: g A, which is Republican Attorneys General Association. Just days

423
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: after the Row decision, the jobs decision that overturned Row

424
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: came down the r a g A. Like the day

425
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: Row was overturned, they blasted out to their supporters said,

426
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: hey man, we could really use some cash man, because

427
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna need to put in more attorneys general that

428
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: are gonna fucking lay this fucked up human rights violating

429
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: hammer down. Are you in? Can we count on you?

430
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: And clearly the corporation was like, yes, you can, just

431
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: give us a few days to get that money together

432
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: and we'll get it right to you. And this isn't

433
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: the first time this company or their owner has given

434
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: to right wing causes either, Like in March, his company

435
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: donated a combined like seven fifty thousand dollars to the

436
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: GOP Leadership Funds, but are like focused on getting majorities

437
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: in the House and Senate. They're you know, like they're

438
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: called like the Leadership Funds or whatever. And he also

439
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: seems to have a knack for giving to anti lgbt

440
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: Q groups as well, like the Alliance for Defending Freedom,

441
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: the National Christian Foundation, and the Family Research Council. When

442
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: he pressed about it on Shoots, Defense was called it

443
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: fake news that he but they're like, these are these

444
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: are fucking tax that you have? This is document are

445
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: you talking about? And added quote I unequivocally support the

446
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: rights of all people without regard to sexual orientation end quote.

447
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: Okay um. And then at time he's like, look, okayn't

448
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: see sexual orientation, Like everyone looks the same, never had sex,

449
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: so it's really not relevant to me. I don't really

450
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: want to have an opinion on that, right, you know,

451
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: I give to a lot of people. And that's the

452
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to take a side note here, because

453
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: you're you're pointing out something that I wish more people acknowledged,

454
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: especially in this field. The more innocuous the name of

455
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: an organization is, the more fuccory they tend to be

456
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: up to, right, like like the the Family Research Council,

457
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: right Alliance Defending Freedom. It's like back when the CIA

458
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: had Air America and that's yeah, that's that sounds dope,

459
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: that's fine. But and now it's like a knee jerk

460
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: reaction for me. Man, every time I hear a really

461
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: innocuous sounding name for a political organization, I'm like, the

462
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: clean sounds because they're yeah, when those groups are getting together,

463
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: all the founders like, what if we called it the

464
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: Gay people Shouldn't Exist Alliance? And then people like no, no, no,

465
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: they're like, why that's what we're here for. You you

466
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: got to say something like the Family Research Council. Do

467
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: you have any idea how many Harvard and Yale graduates.

468
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: We have working to come up with a beautiful name

469
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: that sounds perfect and it's people's brains exactly right. Yeah,

470
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: we don't call it gay people shouldn't exist, you dumb fund,

471
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: even if we have all the money in America to

472
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: spend on coming up with the right name for them.

473
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: So when he was pressed about it, they then found

474
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you know what, I'm gonna stop funding

475
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: any groups it turns out that are involved with any

476
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: anti lgbt Q anything. But then Pitchfork, like a year

477
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: or two later, looked into it again and he was

478
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: just giving a smaller organization to have a history of

479
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: anti lgbt Q like activity, and so again, you know,

480
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: this is just sort of when the parent company was

481
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: asked about this whole, you know, their support for forced birth,

482
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, took a very similar path of

483
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Like one of these spokespeople for the company said that

484
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: you know that the company and the owner, Philip Answers,

485
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: does you know he believes and he totally in the

486
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: right to choose and did not support the reversal of

487
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: row And either the company or the individuals himself received

488
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: saw or was aware of a Republican Attorneys General Association

489
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: fundraising soliciting Asian based on the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

490
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: Uh t A C has contributed to r A g

491
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: A since at least no contribution to r A g

492
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: A by the Anciens Corporation or mr Anis has been

493
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: based upon, informed by, or motivated by, any R A

494
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: g A position on row or abortion. Mr Asos makes

495
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: contributions to numerous organizations, usually for specific reasons. He does

496
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: not review or support each of the positions taken by

497
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: such organizations. Okay, I gotta go. Wow fuck, just a

498
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: straight up run on word blast to be like, yikes,

499
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: that's how is that? How is that any different from

500
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: someone saying, Okay, did did I donate to the Nazi Party? Yes,

501
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: but it's because I liked the uniforms. I did not

502
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: do much other research. I think the arm bands are cool.

503
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: It's like their stance on vegetarianism and not smoking. Okay,

504
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: so get off my back. Like if you if you

505
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: do you think everybody should smoke you animals, then who's

506
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: real moss? I'm just a single issue donator. Hey look,

507
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: I met him in a reddit subreddit group where it

508
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: was people who had a beef against art schools that

509
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: they didn't get into. That's what we bonded over first.

510
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know that's what he was up to. That's

511
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: not fair, like I just did only him from Reddit.

512
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: That's the same energy that all these people have. But

513
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: this is just again another example of how the billionaire

514
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: class has a public facing company that's aligned with the

515
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: festival like Coachella, yet in private, the owners and even

516
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: in public the company itself are actually a bunch of

517
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: sick fox who are hell bent on ending democracy. And

518
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: just I just wanted there's a There's an interesting report

519
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: that came out the last week from Common Dreams and

520
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: a few other groups that just showed just how much

521
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: billionaires contribute to the two parties. So the Congressional Leadership

522
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: Fund and the Senate Leadership Funds, these are both funds

523
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: that and shoulds direct donated to directly raised. It combined

524
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: eight point three million in the first sixteen months of

525
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: campaign cycle. Nearly half about ninety million, or forty percent,

526
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: came from just twenty seven billionaires. And on Shoots is

527
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: one of these twenty seven billionaires. A whopping eighty six

528
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: percent of the GOPS billionaire money comes from quote Wall

529
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Street tycoons, which are the people who benefit most from

530
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: our shitty tax laws and loopholes, so that they have

531
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: a vested interests to stay in the game of influencing politics.

532
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: And then on the Democratic side, you look, they raised

533
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: about a hundred fifty four million in that period. About

534
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: twenty five point eight million, or seventeen percent, only came

535
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: from nineteen billionaires from Democrat Democrats, so they're only holding

536
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: to nineteen Democrats wh aren't giving as much but still

537
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: outsized donations. And a majority of those billionaire contributions again

538
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: comes from the investment sector. I mean, you know, the

539
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: Clinton administration is the one who let Wall Street become

540
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: a total fucking casino. So it's been a good it's

541
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: been a nice relationship since then. And in the shape

542
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: of the government like Wall Street logic, like we're we're

543
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: not you know, allocating funds for projects to help the public.

544
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: We are investing in these things. And then we use

545
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: Wall Street logic and like investor call logic when we're

546
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: like talking to the press about fucking like well, we're

547
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: means testing everything, like everything has to be like framed

548
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: as this like financial thing that's like paying back to

549
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: rich Americans. Essentially, who needs a pension, get a four

550
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: oh one K. That's the new rule, right. But I

551
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: mean this story just I feel like we could just

552
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: cover this story every day from now, Like this is

553
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: the whole thing they like that is so much money

554
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: that is being put in by these billionaires and they're

555
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: not doing it out of kindness or the because they

556
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: don't like pay attention what happens their money. Billionaires pay

557
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: way more attention to what happens to their money than

558
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: you and I do. Like they love their money. They

559
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: are absolutely they're doing it because they expect something in

560
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: return and will make sure they get it or they

561
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: will destroy the person who doesn't give it to them.

562
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: Like that is the mentality of a billionaire. That is

563
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: how you become a billionaire's by like liking your money

564
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: and making it work for you at like you know,

565
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: two degrees that are just completely absent of any like

566
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: morality or anything like that. But so this is what,

567
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: like the the Supreme Court has made possible, is that

568
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: we have an entire system that is just designed by billionaires.

569
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: Like when you look at the founding of Coachella, like

570
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 1: the two people who founded it were just like people

571
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: in punk bands who are like the sort of people

572
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: who maybe in the past generation like start like creating

573
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: like a community, like you know, build, build something cool.

574
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: They're like cool people who like you know, rock stars,

575
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: like to hang out with like there it like plugged

576
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: into the artistry. And instead, you know, they are fed

577
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: into this system that is controlled by billionaires. And the

578
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: result of that is that, like Coachella, a cool idea

579
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: becomes a funding mechanism for right wing like politics and

580
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: for ideals that just end up protecting rich people's money.

581
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: That is, that is what the entire American project is

582
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: at this point for for all intents and purposes, and

583
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: it's all happening behind closed doors. Like the public yeah,

584
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: well the right, but it's not not behind closed doors.

585
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: It's just not the part that the media pays attention to.

586
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: And that is because the media is also like the

587
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: amount of money that they're investing. They're creating so many jobs,

588
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: like the people who like created Coach Hell like that

589
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: every like New York Times fucking you know writer, They're

590
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: making like a good living. They these people's money is

591
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: putting people's children through college, and like those people now

592
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: take their marching orders from billionaires, and like that is

593
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: how you get to a system that that we're in

594
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: right now that it's just it's completely fucked. Yeah, I

595
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: mean that that Upton Sinclair quote couldn't be true true

596
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: or where it's difficult to get a man to understand

597
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: something when a salary depends on not understanding it, And

598
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: that's been true since fucking Upton Sinclair. Also looking at

599
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: this be like whoa, I feel like we get angry

600
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: at the New York Times. We get angry, and like

601
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: I feel like they they're not making the mistakes because

602
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: they want to be Necessarily there are billions of dollars

603
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: that are sending thousands of people's kids through college that

604
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: are buying that bias, and like yeah, and same with

605
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: the people who found at Coachella and now like are

606
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: you know working these like swanky giant things and have

607
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: like a million dollar mansions and ship like that, Um,

608
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: you know, like that is this is the system. It's

609
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: like billionaire money just buying a friendly you know, a

610
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: friendly to billionaire. Yeah, and all this focus on their

611
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: maintaining their wealth has just led to just complete destruction

612
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: of social safety nets in this country, and then with crimes,

613
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: I can't be because no one has options or supported

614
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: because they're none of ring cameras to hack or whatever

615
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: fucking logic they're trying to. But like, but since like

616
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, they can buy votes, we've just been sliding

617
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: the scale the other way. And we're just like you're saying, Jack,

618
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: we don't live in a place that considers the needs

619
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: of a working person. We live in a place that

620
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: always centers what the desires of the billionaire classes. And

621
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: then you can dress it up as policy or these

622
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: other things, but the gist is always gonna be if

623
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: this ship takes a bite out of the billionaire classes

624
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: fucking bank account, you can pretty much bet that this

625
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: ship will not pass because they have too much influence

626
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: with the people who have the votes to make things

627
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: a reality. And I just want to say, those twenty

628
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: seven billionaires that were bankrolling the GOP super PACs alone,

629
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: their wealth increased by eighty two point four billion during

630
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: the fucking pandemic, meaning that the fucking barely ninety million

631
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: that they gave is less than one tenth of one

632
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: one percent of their overall pandemic era gains. That's like

633
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: that's an investment that the average person would salivate for,

634
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: like you would do dirt for that. I would, I

635
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: would commit crime for that. But the other thing that

636
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: I think is part and parcel of this we're talking

637
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: about the complicity of the system at a structural level,

638
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: is that there's no real insider trading law for Congress,

639
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: and it's it's an a political point, and people sometimes

640
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: don't like to hear it, especially if they consider themselves

641
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: very partisan, right, and they're saying, oh, you know, but

642
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: my side or this one is the good one for

643
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: some reason, Like Pelosi, I believe is all is cyclically

644
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: in hot water that somehow mysteriously goes away when people

645
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: learn about the profiteering that occurs on a routine, regular

646
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: I would say normalized and systemic basis there. I know

647
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: for a lot of us listening today, this is maybe

648
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: we're preaching the choir. Maybe the statistics and specifics are new,

649
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: and maybe it's really disheartening, but it's the truth. It's

650
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: not a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy on the part

651
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: of measurable You can, yeah, you can tie the amount

652
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: of their proximity to an industry to begin to understand

653
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: why they vote a certain way or why certain legislative

654
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: ideas are injected into bills and things like that, and

655
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear. But again, if the if the mechanism

656
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: that people used to understand, and it is going to

657
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: be pushed through like a fun house mayor of corporate interests,

658
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: the ship that they're going to see is not going

659
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: to be that. It's gonna be Ah Joe Mantion, Christian Cinema.

660
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: It's all them. It's like, no, it's all of you.

661
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: But you're lucky that these two were particularly lacking moral

662
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: scruples that they're like visibly just going to be like

663
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: the centerpiece for it for it all. But really these

664
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: are just these are just like a zip on the

665
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: gigantic ass of our fucked up political system where it's

666
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: like they need to zoom out look at the whole

667
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: nasty but because it's the rules sound like you guys

668
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: were talking about kids before in some previous episodes, you know,

669
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: and I hope everybody's kids well listening to this, But

670
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: if you have ever caught your very young child trying

671
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: to cheat at a game, it sounds like that's the

672
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: kid who wrote a lot of these laws, especially around superpastrip.

673
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: It's like, don't know, it's not directly you know, count

674
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: beating right now, I get to have the power you

675
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: don't have. You don't get to have the superpower like

676
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: I have the Yeah, well hold on, what kind of

677
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: control are you using it? Wait, that's not fair. You

678
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: can put you can set the buttons to turbo. That's

679
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: why you sucking me up with Chuen Lee. That is

680
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: an argument that Miles got into with my six year

681
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: old recently. By the way, Miles is always pushing to uh,

682
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: pull the focus out on the whole nasty but I

683
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: will say exactly, stop zooming in on those zi man.

684
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: But I mean this is this is this directly ties

685
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: to the national mood of like people just being like

686
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: what like what like we the surreal phenomenon of having

687
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: the president that we elected being in office and not

688
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: being able to do anything he wants to do, and

689
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: the fact that this isn't given as the explanation is like, well,

690
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: he can't do it because the billionaires don't want him

691
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: to do it, like the that should be eighty point

692
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: font on the front page of the New York Times,

693
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: like every time something fails, but instead it's like, yeah,

694
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: Cinnamon Mansion gotten his way again. And you know that's

695
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: instead of like, yeah, this should be all we're talking

696
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: about it. But you know, those same billionaires own or invested,

697
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,959
Speaker 1: they own the you know, Washington Post, or they own

698
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: the corporations that advertise on the New York Times, and

699
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: so you have to like, you know, listen to a

700
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: podcast story about Coachella to hear somebody talk about it like,

701
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's just a it is frustrating.

702
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: And when really every time, if there was like I

703
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: don't know, some shred of journalistic integrity, you could just say,

704
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: here's the bill that's being proposed. Here who here's who

705
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: stands to make less money as an industry because of

706
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: these changes, Right, because like even with something like back Better,

707
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: we're talking about clean energy and we're talking about moving

708
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: towards renewables. So that sounds like the money is going

709
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: to be moving away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy. Now,

710
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: when you say the money is moving away from fossil fuels,

711
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: you're damn sure that the fossil fuel industry is going

712
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: to be giving as much fucking money as they can

713
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: and getting in the ears as many legislators as possible

714
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that money doesn't go towards renewables, because

715
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: they probably most companies were probably more invested in trying

716
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: to kneecap renewables than seeing the future and being like,

717
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, we should probably get it on this ship too,

718
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: because that's that's kind of where it's at, and now

719
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: we're the ones paying for it because a group of wealthy,

720
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: fucking people are saying, you know what, in this instance,

721
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: I can't stand to make less money and guess what

722
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: I can spend fucking less than one percent of what

723
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: I made in the pandemic and make this ship disappear

724
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: neo feudalism, shaking my us in the air. And I

725
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: think that's the hard part, I think for just in general, Jack,

726
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: Like you're talking about how like you've had an evolution

727
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: from starting the show right where there's a part where

728
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: we really do want to believe that the way that

729
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: we've been raised or taught of how the political system

730
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: works is actually centering the the American you know, And

731
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: that's like the first lie that I think most people

732
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: have to like. I think again, many people are still

733
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: reeling with the fact that like is that not true?

734
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: And then because if that's not true, then it's like,

735
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: well then what do I have to do? And I

736
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: think that's scary too. What does that mean I have

737
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: to do? Then? If no one's looking out for me?

738
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: And I think being outraged and getting you know, more

739
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: aware of what's happening around you is is the key

740
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: to that at least that Yeah, micronation of my one

741
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: my address, I think I think we should open it

742
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 1: in the dilapidated water part river Country in Disney World.

743
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, just that they're already used to like having

744
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: a micro nation down there. Yeah, old theme parks and malls.

745
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: They have kind of infrastructure like plumbing and ship like

746
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: that ventilation. Yeah, I don't know, right, I just got

747
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: like my any any micro nation I'm involved in is

748
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: going to involve water parks. Colonize the water parks than

749
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: you done. The time has come colonize abandoned malls and

750
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: water parks. It's time to colonize them. All right, let's

751
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk about

752
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: Spooky America and word back. So it's so funny. Have

753
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: we talked about the fact that the phrase like pulling

754
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: yourself up by your bootstraps is like it's self. Yeah,

755
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: it's a work of satire like something. It's a joke.

756
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: But like America just turned it into like we do

757
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: and we do the impossible. That's how it's like a

758
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: ten percent like being like, well that's not that's not

759
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: a thing, man, I can make gold from woody Okay,

760
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: that's the national motto. It's like, that's that's a fallacy

761
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: and incorrect. I don't work. We're ethic alchemy. That's that's

762
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: our thing. It's like, well, that's impossible. So you're a

763
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: dip shit. We're a dip shit. Anyways, America has a

764
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: toilet problem. Kalamazoo, Michigan just decriminalized public urination and the

765
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: mainstream media lost their ship. This is you know, according

766
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: to them, this was purely done to ruin the lives

767
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: of business owners and deep value property. Kalamazoo business owners

768
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: upset after decriminalization of public urination defecation, and in seventeen

769
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: New York City cops gave cops the discretion to punish

770
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: urinators with a evil summons instead of a criminal one, which,

771
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: by the way, giving New York City cops discretion over

772
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: anything is never, never going to help. But I'm sure

773
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: this just led to rich white stockbrokers being able to

774
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: pee wherever they want when they're drunk. And that's that's

775
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: about it, because the cops aren't cutting a break for

776
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: anyone else, it turns out. But what what when they

777
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,479
Speaker 1: did that? Immediately Tucker Carlson was like, this whole city

778
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: smells like you're in all of a sudden, the first

779
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: time the New York had ever smelled like you're. But yeah,

780
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Public your Nation shouldn't just be decriminalized, it

781
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: should be legalized. These laws really only served to punish

782
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: the most vulnerable. According to one report twenty pent Upon,

783
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: how's people have been cited or arrested for Public your

784
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: Nation in thirteen states. Public your Nation has classified as

785
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: a potential sex crime. Yeah, like you'd be a sex

786
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: offender for Public your Nation, which is wow. It's like

787
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: in imagine if you're in the housed and they're like,

788
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: you're now a sex offender, which means you you can't

789
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: really be anywhere now, like with all of the you know,

790
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: the sort of boundaries that come with like places you

791
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: can live near or whatever being near. Yeah, anyway. Yeah,

792
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: but their way, these laws are a way of criminalizing homelessness.

793
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: Essentially in skid row in l A, there are fifteen

794
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: thousand people and just five public toilets, so that's one

795
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: public toilet for every three thousand people. So it like

796
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: not having public urination, you know, as a criminal act

797
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: is essentially a form of entrappedment because it's like physically

798
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: impossible that you won't go to the bathroom there. There's

799
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: also some stories in Piedmont, Oklahoma, a cop gave a

800
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: two thousand five dollar ticket for public year nation to

801
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: a three year old. And in Ferguson, Missouri, which you

802
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: might remember them the Ferguson Police Department. Well, in Ferguson,

803
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: a family let their two year old and four year

804
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: old pie and a bush. Something I've done the near

805
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: constantly as a parent, just because kids constantly have to

806
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, like at the most inconvenient times.

807
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: It's like they have a sense for what is the

808
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: most inconvenient time, and that's when they will have to

809
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, like horribly badly. But a cop

810
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: came by and arrested the dad for a child neglect.

811
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: He was held for nine hours and felt found guilty

812
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: by a judge. The couple understandably later through the city.

813
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: But you'll you'll never guess that the family were black,

814
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: So shocking, m hm hm. But so one solution is

815
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: they're just absolutely needs to be way more public toilets available. Yeah,

816
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's isn't that Isn't that how you solve

817
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: a problem? Well not in the United States. No, They're like, well,

818
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: how do we make this. Let the market solve it.

819
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: Let the free market saw the toilet. That's what they did.

820
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: Like the Starbucks announced that they would open their watchrooms

821
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: to everyone in and people are like, seed the market working.

822
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: They know it's a good publicity thing because Starbucks are everywhere, right,

823
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: except Howard Schultz recently came out you know now that

824
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 1: he's he's probably now that he's like probably turning right.

825
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like union busting and has been was

826
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 1: criticized during his presidential run as a Democrat, So I'm

827
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: sure he's basically a fascist at this point. So he

828
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: then recently announced that they will actually soon limit access

829
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: to customers only, which amounted to a loss of critical

830
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: infrastructure for the broader public in the United States. Like

831
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: so a a company changes a store policy and it

832
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: radically fox over the country. That's the that's the United States.

833
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: But this this feels to me again like putting, like

834
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: dumping a bunch of labor on service workers who aren't

835
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: being paid a living wage anyway, that now you have

836
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: to police the toilets. Like I think that was the

837
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: fundamental problem with the mask mandates was that you were

838
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: you're literally asking service workers to enforce a state a

839
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: state regulation like policy, law, something something right. It's like

840
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: you don't, yeah, and like your life being threatened, Like

841
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: that's it's not worth that, It's not, it's not. I've

842
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: always found that people who don't want to wear a

843
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: mask in public seem to be very reasonable and just

844
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: like easy to talk to and like here you want

845
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: to hear you out. That is I feel like people

846
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: not like refusing to wear a mask when it's appropriate

847
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: or required is like the domestic violence of like gun owners,

848
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: of like mass shootings. It's just like, oh, those those

849
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: are the people who are going to flip out and

850
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: try and fight you in this subway or wherever you are.

851
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: Thank you bring it back to some way. Yeah, can

852
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: I just throw in really quickly. Historically that cities were

853
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: cities were adding lots of public toilets until desegregation, and

854
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: then they started closing them down. Huh huh. Interesting, fascinating

855
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: hand of white supremacy is always, always, always, we don't

856
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: have enough toilets because white people. Yeah, like Iceland have

857
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: around fifty six toilets per people. The US has eight. Yeah,

858
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: because people don't have to pay, right exactly, Hey, pissing

859
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: your bootstraps. Yeah, we we have stronger willpowers, so we're

860
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: able to just hold it longer than people in Iceland.

861
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's straight up, it's white supremacy and racism

862
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it's and it doesn't even again, like everything,

863
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: and there's a problem, they don't fucking actually address it.

864
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: People are pissing everywhere. What's the problem because there's not

865
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 1: enough toilets. What's the solution ging make them sex offenders? What? Wait? No, sorry,

866
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: did you did you just get a step there? Nope,

867
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: that's not what we're doing. That's how you stop him.

868
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: Like California sitting on a record breaking surplus of you know,

869
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: taxpayers money, and rather than like spending that on building

870
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: public toilets, they instead you brag about having a surplus,

871
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: and uh it works. First of all, the media is like,

872
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: holy sh it, Newsome, he we should make him president.

873
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: He has a surplus. And then also it's austerity and yeah,

874
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: and then like start freaking out about San Francisco having

875
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: like poop on the street, like that's that's how people

876
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: you look at a place like in London, right, I

877
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: was just there they got they have public urinals fucking

878
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: everywhere because they're like, man, too many people leave the pubs,

879
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: this ship or whatever and they just piss all over

880
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: the street. Yeah. Their solution was, well, then put up

881
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: some fucking urinals that people can use, like more toilets

882
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: for people, and then you're spending less time cleaning up

883
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: piss in the streets and giving up a person to

884
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: use the fucking bathroom. London has some experience there. I'm like,

885
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: they used to use the streets as the sewers, so

886
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: they would know they've evolved, you know, they've come around.

887
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: Everyone used to use it as the sewers though. That

888
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: was like the like Spanish colonizers, and they first came

889
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: to like South America, they were like, what the fund

890
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: is this? Your streets are clean? Yeah, right where. It

891
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: is definitely a European settler, European colonizer movement of yeah,

892
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: we just kind of shipped everywhere, right, but we also

893
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: put it, yeah right, we put that's our right, that's

894
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: our divine right as colonizers. Now show me the late

895
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: the closest place I can defecate on something sacred. So

896
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: just to kind of closed loop on this, the US

897
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: government and you know various like local organizations appointed to

898
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: the high costs for installing public toilets, but in fact,

899
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: you actually save money by investing in restrooms because you

900
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: wind up spending millions cleaning up all the p and

901
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: poop around your city. And according like public health, right, Yeah,

902
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: according to the World Bank, every dollar spent on urban

903
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 1: sanitation brings a return of two dollars and fifty cents

904
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: to the economy through reduction in medical costs and increased productivity. Whoa,

905
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: whoa will hold on reduction in medical costs, that's actually

906
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: not profitable anything. I need to increase the medical costs

907
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: so I can keep my pockets fat, Okay, Like what

908
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: the fuck? And I can't well because the like that's

909
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: people pooping on land that I'm not going to because

910
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to my country club where the people have

911
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,319
