Who 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: I think it's a baby. You think it's a baby. 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: His parents just paid him to be like cool, or 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: he's just that, I guess because babies are the only 26 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: people that get mad when you call him a baby. 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: There's another video of that. It's like African Idol, Like 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: it's like American Idol, but in Africa, and it's like 29 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: a very small guy who looks like a baby, and 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: he like sings and he's a very bad singer and 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: he gets booted off and he throws the temper tantrum. 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: It's probably one of the funniest videos on the internet. 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: As a baby, he's a man, he's like forty like 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: a baby, alright. And then one thing you think is overrated, 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: one thing you think is underrated, overrated being vegan? Uh, 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: under way, what do you mean overrated? It's definitely overrated, man, Like, 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: let's stop it, alright, Cool, you poop better, but everything 38 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: else you do is trash. Like the food is trash. 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: We can never find somewhere to eat Alejandro. So, like 40 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like being a vegan is just it's 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 1: just whack. It's it's completely whack being a vegetarians enough. 42 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: I think like, if you're gonna en, don't eat red meat, 43 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: we get it, eat chicken and every everything. Yeah, whatever 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: that is and then underrated. I gotta go with James Blunt, 45 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: who sang Edgar has the saddest whitest tasted just the 46 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: musical taste of like a really said, like twenty three 47 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: year old white dude are sixteen year old white girl? 48 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: All right, So story is going on right now. We've 49 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: got Pens leaving a Indianapolis Colts game because the forty Niners. 50 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: Now because that was actually apparently a staged thing. Uh 51 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: he he knew he was gonna leave, He knew that 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: the players were going to kneel, and the president asked 53 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: him ahead of time to leave. So and also, as 54 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: I think you were pointing out, Iger, like the Secret 55 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Service is not great with like improvised movements. No, you 56 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: can't just be like yeah, I'm a real quick you're 57 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: like number two in command. All kinds of ships and 58 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: trucks they need to be moved. And reporters were told like, hey, 59 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: you guys shouldn't leave, like somebody's going to be leaving 60 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: the game or early win. Wing right and allegedly Colin 61 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: Kaepernick has said that he's going to stand for the 62 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: anthem if he gets picked up by a team, But 63 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: we don't really have any detail on why he's saying that, 64 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: or if he's saying that actually hasn't already been like debunked. 65 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: The CBS Sports afterwards said like that actually wasn't discussed. 66 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: I think that reporter who was talking to Jim Brown 67 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: actually kind of took liberties and saying like maybe that 68 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: was him trying to be just totally create his own narrative. Anyways, 69 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: this is what the right wing media, this is what 70 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: Fox News and Drudge is gonna be talking about for 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: the next week. I just don't think there's much of 72 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: a story there, uh, other than that they've successfully redefined 73 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: the argument to be about whether people respect the flag 74 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: or not, uh, and not about whether police are killing 75 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: innocent black people. I also don't think that Mike Pence 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: was at that game. That's such a great conspiracy theory 77 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: that has because of the photo, Like he used the 78 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: same photo in his tweets. He's a three year old photo. Right, 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: They used a photograph of him saluting the flag. I 80 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: think it's just lazy photo journalism where they were like, 81 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: let's find a photo of Mike Pence at a Cults 82 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: game and yeah, and just put a different Instagram filter 83 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: on it. There the exposures are different, even though that's 84 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: selfie with him and mother or his wife her mother. 85 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I mean they look slightly different, but it's 86 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: exact same image, just with a little bit of a 87 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: filter on it. Yeah. But again, I just the Richard 88 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: Spencer took another little white polo shirt khaki march to Charlottesville. Again, 89 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: let's not talk about that. Let's talk about my my 90 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: faked protest about going to the NFL game. Like we're 91 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: just starting to see what the priorities are again. You know, 92 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: that's what's more outrageous that he knew he was going 93 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: to leave the Niners game than the return of the 94 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: white rationalists to Charlottesville. So yeah, there was apparently a 95 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: like Charlottesville Part two. Uh, that was more of a 96 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: flash mob. They like did it in the cover of night. 97 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: Nobody was really aware that it was going to happen. Um, 98 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: and then they talked a lot of ship after they 99 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: were all gone. It was a big deal. Like Richard 100 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: Spencer brought out his suit like he was in a 101 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: nice suit for it did always be stressed a tan soup. 102 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: It was a khaki suit. I think that was I 103 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: think you want to keep the theme. Yeah, it's like 104 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: a khaki colored suit, khaki power. But they were even 105 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: saying apparently I don't know, I wasn't there, but some 106 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: reports saying that they were acte along with their other 107 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: like you will not replace this type ship. They're all 108 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: saying Russia is our friend. Yeah, Like what's the They're 109 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: just going real far and what are you about at 110 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: this point? And then just the only other story that 111 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about is a Blade Runner 112 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: apparently tanked at the box office. People are acting surprised 113 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: because it was advertised like it was gonna be a blockbuster. Um, 114 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: I am not surprised because the first Blade Runner was 115 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: also critically acclaimed masterpiece by a visionary director who had 116 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: recently made a successful, acclaimed movie about humans contacting aliens. 117 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: Uhridly shot and that did bed Also, Uh, that's yeah, 118 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: And the first Blade Runner became a classic. Like when 119 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: VHS became a thing. It was a flop when it 120 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: first came out weaver of our generation. I kind of 121 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: like sojourney it offers some like get away from that 122 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: slate um. Alright, so the fans stories we're gonna talk 123 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: about today are the Cuban attack on diplomat and Harvey Weinstein. 124 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: Because we are not, uh like the late night TV shows, 125 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: we are not scared of Harvey Weinstein's wrath. We're gonna 126 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it and acknowledge that, yeah, he 127 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: might have done a few bad things once or twice, 128 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: but I mean he seems sorry. Right, I'm not right here. 129 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm ending my film career before it even starts, not 130 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: even interested in this. He quoted four. I think that 131 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: that's enough. See that was that was the most annoying 132 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: thing about it. Was that not the worst thing, but 133 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: the thing that annoyed me the most. The worst thing 134 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: about the Harvey Weinstein story was the way that he 135 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: appropriated like all these things that I like, like hating Trump, 136 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: I enjoyed being frustrated at Trump. He was like, I'm 137 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: gonna use this downtime to like go take Trump down. 138 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: And I was like, man, don't make that, like, don't 139 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: fucking ruin that for us? And then he like quoted 140 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: a four forty four lyric. Uh. So we're gonna get 141 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: to all that later on. But first up, we are 142 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: going to talk about the attack on US diplomat in Cuba. 143 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: I am doing air quotes when I say attack. Uh, 144 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: And you can't see that because I'm good at podcasting. 145 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: My girlfriend uses those air quotes whence he says love girls. 146 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: You guys just got violently weeping. Uh. But we're gonna 147 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And 148 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: we're back. Uh. So our first story is titled what 149 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: the fund is Happening in Cuba? You guys? Basically, if 150 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: Tom Clanty ever experimented with bath salts, this is the 151 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: story that he would have written. So we are joined 152 00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: by Mark Fenster, who is the kne Wagner nugent has Jury, 153 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: and Roth Towart, Professor at the Levin College of Law 154 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: at the University of Florida. Did I get all that correct? 155 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: You did, and you did it better than I could. 156 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: And you are also the author of conspiracy Theories, colon secrecy, 157 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: and Power in American Culture.

We 159 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you about this somewhat crazy story 160 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: about what's going on with US diplomats in Cuba, because 161 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: it's fairly confusing. Um. I have a very specific I 162 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: guess you could call it a conspiracy theory, just like 163 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: a hunch on this story. UM, And I should put 164 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: it out there just up front that I believe a 165 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: lot of crazy things. I believe that Matt Damon and 166 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: Ben Affleck didn't right good will hunting and then and 167 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: that Matt Damon's entire like film ubra uh following that 168 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: is all about the fact that he's like covering up 169 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: for that fact because it's like all about him being 170 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: a fraud and stuff. Uh. So I believe lots of 171 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: crazy shit mark. Um, but I happened to not think 172 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: that these attacks are actually taking place. Um. But why 173 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: why don't we just kind of go through the details 174 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: first and then you can tell me, uh why I'm crazy, 175 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: if indeed I am. Um, I'm not sure I'm going 176 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: to be able to do that, but let's get all right. 177 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: So Uh, basically, it began with twenty one diplomats reporting 178 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: hearing loss, loss of sleep, headaches, and cognitive difficulties. This 179 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: is going back. I think till last year. UM. And 180 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: these are U S diplomats in Cuba. UH. And obviously 181 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: this is in the immediate aftermath of a thawing of 182 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: relations between Cuba and the United States. UH. The attacks 183 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: were said to have begun under Obama, so it's not 184 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: just a thing that's happening under the Trump administration. But 185 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: the Trump administration has reacted by basically saying they're gonna 186 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: pull I think most of their diplomats out of Cuba, 187 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: and basically that they're going to use this as an 188 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: opportunity to kind of revert the relations between Cuba and 189 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: the United States back to where they were prior to Obama, 190 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: sort of opening things up a little bit. UM. The 191 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: details of the attacks are kind of what's strange because 192 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: they they're all somewhat different. But the few that I've 193 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: heard details about their people like wake up in the 194 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: middle of the night and they hear like a loud noise. Uh. 195 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: One of the diplomats say that when they sat up 196 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: in bed, it went away, but then when they laid 197 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: back down, like the loud noise came back, and they 198 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: looked around and couldn't find the source of the noise. UM, 199 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: which kind of I've read uh sort of DARPA studies 200 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: where they're looking into using basically sound lasers and uh 201 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: to where which would be like things that can project 202 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: noise directly into someone's ear but nobody else around you 203 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: can hear them. Um, So it seems like something that 204 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: could be possible. But I guess the thing that's weird 205 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: to me is that the attacks all seem to be different. Um, 206 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: the people who are experts on sonic weaponry seem to 207 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: indicate that this doesn't match with any known type of 208 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: weapon or I mean basically they're saying it's physically impossible 209 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: based on what we know about physics. Um. And the 210 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: fact that the symptoms, like the things that are happening 211 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: to the diplomats all seem to be fairly I don't know, 212 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: diffuse and uh not not very consistent. And I read 213 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: somebody who like as an expert on sort of psychosmatic illnesses, 214 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: listing a very similar list of symptoms and being like, yeah, 215 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: those are all symptoms of just getting older, like just 216 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: like being one day older than you were the day before. 217 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: Um So, I don't know what, what's everybody else think? 218 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: I got to hear my honest thoughts. Yes, I think 219 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: that they all went to a black ass concert together 220 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: and are suffering from like you know, like hearing loss. 221 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: But they don't want to say that they went to 222 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: this black ass concert. So they're all coming up and 223 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: blaming Cuba. Yeah, there's crazy diplomats. They have a swinging 224 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: nightlife in Havana. It was like a Justin Bieber concert. 225 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: It was Nickela. Wow, you have specifics and everything. Well, 226 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: so what's the what's the theory? So this was just 227 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: an accident as a concept went to the concert. Yeah, 228 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: for me, that's my theory. My theory is that like 229 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: they went to this black ass concert and now they're 230 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: having this problem, but they don't want anyone to know 231 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: that they're at the Nickelback concerts, so they'd rather blame 232 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: Cuba and say that cub was attacking them. But wait, 233 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: but your jack, your theory is that there there were 234 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: no weapons involved in this is just mass hysteria, mass hallucination. Well, 235 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: or maybe something happened in one specific instance where it 236 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: was like somebody was poisoned or I don't know, so 237 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: something happened, they were attacked in some way and then 238 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: it that was like sort of the seed crystal that 239 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: started everybody else, like the whole group dynamic from kicking off. Um. 240 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I just don't think that the Cubans or 241 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: anybody being like sheltered by the Cubans have these secret 242 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: weapons that physics doesn't know about and doesn't know or 243 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: possible that are secretly sort of tapping into diplomats brains, 244 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: kind of like the Salem witch trials. Like we're like 245 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: one person started acting out and then all the girls 246 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: started acting why exactly? And there's there's a study, like 247 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: a historical study of cases of mass hysteria, and they 248 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: find that even though you tend to hear about them 249 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: happening to like school children, that's just because it's a 250 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: lot of like minded people in a closed environment under 251 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: a lot of stress. And that's basically the only thing 252 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: that most cases of mass hysteria have in common. Uh, 253 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: it's not like intelligence or age or any of any 254 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: of those things. Well, I have to say that you 255 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: guys have come up with the most boring explanations for this. 256 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: Damn that the shitty employee and the you know, psycho 257 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: somatic crazy employees is just really boring. I came up 258 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: with any number of much more interesting theories, all right, 259 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: which isn't to say that I believe in them. But 260 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: one would be the U S did it that has 261 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: been floated by I've noticed a Cuban columnists who argued this, 262 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: saying that this was, you know, the false flag that 263 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: would allow for a coming invasion by the United States 264 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: and by the Trump administration. Rel Castro's daughter said something 265 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: equivalent by arguing that this was all just a lie. 266 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: So either the US did it using any of the 267 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: potential means, whether through sonic weaponry or poisons or some 268 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: combination thereof, or that it's all just bullshit, but it 269 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: is a it will be the in either instance, it 270 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: will be the excuse that the imperialist Trump will use 271 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: to take back the island. And then the other theory 272 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: is more the bank shop theory. That well, I mean, 273 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: I suppose you could say that the Cubans did it, 274 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: right um, but it seems less and less likely that 275 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: that's the case. First of all, the extent to which 276 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: the Russians are supporting the Cuban government has obviously dropped 277 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: down considerably in the last twenty five years, so Cuban 278 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: access to high tech weaponry seems pretty small. Um, so 279 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: unless they're utilizing Cold war stuff, stuff that they have 280 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: left over which no one could detect because it's so 281 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: incredibly old. It's like they're crazy looking cars, right, is 282 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: in Cuba notoriously behind the times in technology, behind the times, 283 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: and therefore ahead of the times, right because everyone wants 284 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: to go to Cuba because their cars all look like 285 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: old matchbox cars and they're really only the cute and 286 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: only the Cubans can fix them. So maybe there's some 287 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: incredibly old nine zero weaponry. Yeah. I learned about that 288 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: in the documentary The Fate of the Furious. We call 289 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: it fast eight Fast eight. Yeah, So the Cubans could 290 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: do it, but the Cubans say that they didn't do it, 291 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: and they've allowed the FBI to come down to take 292 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: a look, which is pretty unprecedented for the Cubans to 293 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: invite the FBI down to investigate. And you know, you 294 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: would think at this point if the US had serious, 295 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: um had serious evidence suggesting the Cuban had done it, 296 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: that there would be no reason for the Trump administration 297 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: to hide that. So it could be a rogue element 298 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: of the Cuban intelligence services who would prefer to be 299 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: at war with the Americans who would do that. But 300 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: then you still go, you still fold back into the 301 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: question of where they're getting the technology to do this. 302 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: But then suppose it's someone else. Suppose it's Iran. Suppose 303 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: it's Russia who just want to funk with us in 304 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: some way and funk with the Cubans. Uh. These are 305 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: all interesting theories. Uh. And you know, I don't think 306 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: that there's any evidence of any of this. What's been 307 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: disappointing to me is the extent to which Alex Jones 308 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: has not been on top of this. I go to 309 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: Info Wars and I look up Cuba and there's funk 310 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: all nothing on there. And that's disappointing Alex Jons. That's 311 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: how big this thing is. That's how big it is. 312 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: Jones doesn't will there's a you know, there's an easy 313 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: theory behind that, which is that Alex Jones is and 314 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: cahoots with Trump. So so that would explain it. So 315 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: here's a false flag that that Alex Jones isn't letting 316 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: on about because he's rooting on Trump's taking back Cuban. 317 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: I got a question for your professor. I'll see if 318 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: I have an answer all right, cool, cool, cool. So 319 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: I like that second theory that like they're using this 320 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: old technology that like, you know, like we're not on. 321 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: So then could it possibly be that it's a trap 322 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: to invite the FBI over because I might never be 323 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: an expert on conspiracy theories, but I'm an expert on movies, 324 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: and that seems like a very very easy trick to 325 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: be like, oh yeah, just come check it out. And 326 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: then they trap our best FBI agents, they do a 327 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: man in candidate on them, yeah, yeah, and then they 328 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: send those dudes back and then we're all like that 329 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: that's good, all right, So they cloned them with some 330 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: new fangled Cuban technology that they've come up, Yeah, one 331 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: that we couldn't detect. Did the FBI go? I think 332 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: they went. I think they went three times. I think 333 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: they've been. They were, you know, allowed in three times 334 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: to do a series of investigations. You know, obviously this 335 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: is all top secrets, so we don't know what they 336 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: came up with. But all that we know is that 337 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: they didn't come up with an answer that has been 338 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: made public or that's what they want is to think, right, 339 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: or that's what they wants to think all right, but 340 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: we we don't have any ideas on how this could 341 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: be possible or why. It just seems like they don't 342 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: really have any sort of coherent explanation for for what's 343 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: happening here, which there there's clearly like a political motivation 344 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: for doing that because uh, like getting closer to Cuba 345 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: was an Obama thing and therefore it is the opposite 346 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: of a Trump thing, uh, and they're they're using it 347 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: as an excuse to you know, get further away from Cuba. 348 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 1: So I don't know, it just seems like if they 349 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: could possibly put together a coherent story that the fact 350 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: that there's just nothing makes me think that I don't know, 351 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: there's lots of crazy stories of you know, mass hysteria 352 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: that when you look at the stories at this stage 353 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: at least, like when you're in the thick of all 354 00:20:53,240 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: the physical uh symptoms and illnesses look absolutely like a 355 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: physical thing is going on, and then there's just there's 356 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: just nothing that is definitely that The probably the neatest 357 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: explanation is the second somatic one that one person got 358 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: sick and then everyone else followed. But this is a 359 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: lot of people at this point, at different times, under 360 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: different conditions. I mean, it's certainly possible and there and 361 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: I mean it sounds as that the reports have the 362 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: medical examination of these folks after they get state side. Uh, 363 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: it was pretty convincing that some of the some of 364 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: the problems are permanent damage. But you know, you're right, 365 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: if it's in the range of symptoms that someone would 366 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: have as a matter of just growing old, all right, 367 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: then h then you know that's certainly possible. That is boring, 368 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: but it is possible. Yeah. I read one of the injuries, 369 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: like what when people are pointing to their being like specific, 370 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: concrete symptoms, They're like, it is mild traumatic brain injury, 371 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: which I've never heard of, Like I have specific They 372 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: heard people who specialize in brain traumatic brain injury saying 373 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: there's no such thing as like a mild concussion. There 374 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: did you possibly get one from banging your head too 375 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: loud at perhaps a very bad Canadian rock concert. I mean, 376 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: I think that's where I was not thinking. I just 377 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: want to say, there is an article from the BBC 378 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: the German doctors did say headbane can cause brain injury. 379 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: That we're getting something here interesting. Now, Doc, I'm not 380 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: ruling anything out of this I'd like I'd like to 381 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to know if nickel Back was playing or 382 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: the Cuban equivalent of nicol Back was playing at that time. 383 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: I know the Rolling Stones went down there and did 384 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: a concert sometime last summer or something like that, fairly recently. 385 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: But you know, I think the nickel Back theory is 386 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: a better theory. There. There's one other conspiracy theory I 387 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: just kind of wanted to bring up because I know 388 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: it's it's become pretty contentious issue amongst young people. Bow uh, 389 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: and that is that Katy Perry is in fact John 390 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: Benet Ramsey. Um. And I was curious if if if 391 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: you felt if that's something you had heard about as 392 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: as you've you know, written on conspiracy theories. I see 393 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: the evidence there. It's very clear that Katy Perry looks 394 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: a lot like John Manny Ramsey at the time. But 395 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: who's to know if Katy Perry is actually Katie Perry. 396 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: It's an excellent question. I told you, guys, I told 397 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: you it's this is stuff is bigger than everything. Yeah. There, 398 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that one. Are you a Beyonce truth 399 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: or do you believe Beyonce I actually give birth to 400 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: blue Ivy or where do you fall on that? I 401 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: fall off on that. Okay, I have one. I have one. 402 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: There's one that uh three six Mafia won the Oscar 403 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: for Best Song as an elaborate prank on black people. 404 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: That's not very nice, perpetrated by Harvey who knows. Uh. 405 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you so much for taking the 406 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: time to join us. I'm sure we've made you slightly stupider, 407 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: but just in talking to us, no, I feel much 408 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: more informed. Great, I'm sure you do. All right, Thanks 409 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: so much. We'll talk to all right. So, I mean, 410 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: I think I think Edgar's theory wins hands down. Back, 411 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: Thank you man. I mean, we don't talk about how 412 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: detrimental their music is on the whole in the US 413 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: Cuban relations in particular. You've always said that what's crazy 414 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: that Nickelback is actually one of my guilty pleasure bands too. 415 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: I could off top. I can do a few songs 416 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: for you to full lyrics, full mode. What what is 417 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: that thing that he like his singing voice? What's that called? 418 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: It's like, Oh, it's like yarling. I think I've heard 419 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: that described as yarling. Uh yeah, that's terrible. Man. You 420 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: guys should be ashamed of yourself. Smack talked us a 421 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, he did talk some ship and now 422 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: that he's no longer on the phone, let's complain about that. Yeah, 423 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: let's take Mark down. Now he has that very specific 424 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory thing, where like you can already tell what 425 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist is gonna want to believe. They're gonna 426 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: want to believe it was a false flag, that it 427 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: was like the U. S. Government doing like a false 428 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: flag thing. Uh. I just want to say, I think 429 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: Mark's theories are boring. Okay, his theories are born, not 430 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: mine yours. Is that like, there's nothing to see here, folks. 431 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: It's kind of just blown out of her portion, right, 432 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I just you know, the thing I got 433 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: out of it was I think we are one step 434 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: closer to actually figuring out that Katy Perry is John 435 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: Bonny Ramsey because he didn't he danced around that one. Yeah, 436 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: he got off the phone real quickly after that. Yeah, 437 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: you could tell somebody from I don't know whatever record 438 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: labels like you about the almost definitely, Although I wish 439 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: I did bring up the Illuminati thing. Yeah, I think 440 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: gotta be another deep dive we can do with him later. 441 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: And that's you know, theory is that she gave birth 442 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: to Salange she look up, look it up? Does that mean? Um, 443 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: all right, We're gonna keep falling the Cuba story as 444 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: I am slowly proven right over the coming months. But 445 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: we want to move on to another big story going 446 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: on right now. Someone call it a conspiracy, uh, the 447 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein story, which the liberal media doesn't want us 448 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: to talk about. But that's how it's being covered on 449 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: the right wing. Uh. We we do at the Daily 450 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: Zygei's monitor, like the Drudge Report and uh Bright Bart 451 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: to see what they're saying about the world and what 452 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: they're saying right now. Like one of their main threads 453 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: is that, you know, late night comedians and SNL don't 454 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: have the balls to make fun of Harvey Weinstein for 455 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: being a rapist, which I would argue it's just like 456 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: not a very funny thing to joke about. But uh, 457 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: our Harvey Weinstein expert and also just our Harvey Weinstein 458 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: like as a as a team, she fills that role 459 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: for us. Uh. She is producer extraordinaire Anna Hosnia, and 460 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: she's going to tell us, uh what what she's been 461 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: hearing about the Harvey Weinstein story. When we come back 462 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: after these messages and we're back, Anna Hosnia, welcome to 463 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: the Daily Zeitgeist. Thank you, yeah, welcome, thank you. You've 464 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: been in here the whole time. I never leave. She's 465 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: a she's a liar, you guys. She acts like she 466 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: just showed up. That's a little bit show business. So 467 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, I've heard that there were, you know, all 468 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: these different allegations against him. Most of them are I think, 469 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: like blind items. The one star that we heard about 470 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: was Ashley Judd, but now I'm hearing that like Gretchen 471 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: Mull and Blake Lively are probably other people to whom 472 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: this has happened. Um So, according to my my deep 473 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: dive research into this, once, I've become obsessed with the 474 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: Harvey girls, which is what they call the women that 475 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein basically eyes and tries to build a career 476 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: for if they basically you know, hang out with him 477 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: if you will in his hotel room. Sure, in his robe. 478 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: But like the so, the Ashley Judge story is that 479 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: she was called to a meeting in his hotel room. 480 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: He has notorious casting couch sessions. That happened on Friday 481 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: evenings when his office is empty, that he meets the 482 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: women in his robe. Weird, that's the thing that because 483 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: he lives at the office. I just want to see 484 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: it from everybody. It's known. That's apparently it's been a 485 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: known Hollywood secret for a very long time. And now 486 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: that it's coming out, people are coming out and talking 487 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: about it. But a lot of these women are staying 488 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: quiet because their careers are on the line, and that's 489 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: you know. And I've heard that. Something I read is 490 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: that basically his behavior would make Bill Cosby look chill, 491 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: basically like he's all black people need, black people need lively, 492 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: get on the phone right now. This so, I mean, 493 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: the Ashley Judde story is that he had her come 494 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: to his hotel room and then was like, hey, why 495 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: don't you give me a massage while he was like 496 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: basically a robe and nothing else, and she was like nah, 497 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: And then he was like, well, will you at least 498 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: watch me shower, which is you can tell. He's like, 499 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: you can tell a certain level of depravity when like, 500 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: that's the thing you jumped to. Second, Okay, that was 501 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: too much. That was downgrade at all. Man, It could 502 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: have been like, Okay, I'm sorry that was gross dinner. 503 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean, I guess we should say up top. 504 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: For people who don't know who Harvey Weinstein is. I 505 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: mean he's the founder of mirror Max or that and 506 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: the head of Mirrormax with his brother H Bob Weinstein 507 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: up until I think like ten years ago or something 508 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: that he left Merrormax and started Weinstein Pictures. But he's 509 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: been thanked more than god an Oscar acceptance speeches. Uh. 510 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: James duty Bench, Uh the actress. I think it's Dame 511 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: Judy Dench. Oh, Okay, James booty Bench, James duty Bench. 512 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: Either way, that's my nickname for But supposedly she had 513 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: his name tattooed on her, asked j D loves h W. 514 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: Though some people are saying that it was a fake 515 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: tattoo that she just got to impress him. The fact 516 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: that Dame Judy Dench is how he pounced that. The 517 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: fact that she would even feel the need to lie 518 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: about having a fake tattoo and then show her ass 519 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: to to him, uh, kind of suggests how much power 520 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: he has in in this town. But he's kind of 521 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: like the godfather of indie film right, like he like 522 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: he he's pushed so many like indie filmmaker's career, like 523 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino, Billy Bob Thornton's career, sling Blade. Yeah, the 524 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: man has done a lot of work, but he's also 525 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: huge creep, right and apparently like this whole sort of 526 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: pay to play or like have sex with me to play, 527 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: uh sort of scandal has been fueling the film industry. 528 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: And they're you know, different actresses who supposedly like their 529 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: entire career is based on this. Um Ashley Judd was 530 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: just somebody who said no when he kind of made 531 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: this offer. She was already kind of blowing up, but 532 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: her career then sort of didn't go anywhere. So it 533 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: like suggests that it's just all the worst things that 534 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: you've ever heard about Hollywood are true and definitely Yeah, 535 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: especially with Harvey, I think what he likes to do 536 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: is pull these girls in, create the hype, and then 537 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: leave them, which is weird. It's like they get bigger, 538 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: like it happened to Minha Sufari, Monica Potter. Like these 539 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: women that you don't hear from anymore, Like some of 540 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: them would hit you know, like Uma Thurman was one 541 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: of them. Apparently uh um Blake Lively's career happened, Gretchen 542 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: Mole's career was decent. Gretchen Mole is a famous case 543 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: where you know, she's, uh, what was she in like 544 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: Chasing Amy or she was in um, she was in 545 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: some Mermax movie early on, and like hadn't been in 546 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: that much, and then Vanity Fair had her on and 547 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: was like she is the next Hollywood it girl, and 548 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: like she's famous for getting that Vanity Fair cover and 549 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: people being like wait, what, like why is she getting 550 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: the Vanity Fair cover? And so this kind of connects 551 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: those dots for something that Wineste is notorious for using 552 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: his money and power to push these women into the 553 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: spotlight and getting them films, getting them spots, just just 554 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: getting them out there. And the creepier part is um 555 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: that his wife dresses them. She is a clothing designer, 556 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: Georgina Chapman, and so a lot of them are seen 557 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: in her designs, which is this very dark angle on 558 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: all of it, which is I don't understand. I don't 559 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: think it's like one of those things where it's like okay, 560 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: and now you will wear like like, let my wife 561 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: dress you. I think more of like kind of like 562 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: maybe like sort of guiding people to be like and 563 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: you should probably like where my wife's clothes since, um, 564 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: you know. But that's what I don't understand is what 565 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: is the wife's role in this, Like is she really 566 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: that oblivious or is she just working the system for 567 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: herself as well to get these actresses in her dresses. Yeah, 568 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: Gawker said that you could tell which of these women 569 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein was like sexually assaulting slash, like you know, 570 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: making their career blow up because one they were they 571 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: all kind of looked alike. They were like kind of blonde, 572 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: pretty ish, and like you didn't really understand why they 573 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: were famous because they weren't super talented, and also they 574 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: would always be dressed by his wife like at at 575 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: award shows. Um, And like Gawker was writing about that, 576 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: Like I wasn't aware of this, but like Gawker was 577 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: writing about this like five years ago. Um, apparently it's 578 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: been like an open rumor. It's like like the one 579 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: years probably for his entire career and how they has 580 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: just been like, ah, that's just Harvey being Harvey, That's exactly. 581 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: It's Sorry. The Mayormax film was Rounders, right, she was? 582 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: She played the girlfriend and Rounders, which not a great role. 583 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: Like definitely did not uh deserve to like have to 584 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: have sex with that dude to get to get that role. 585 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: That role sucked. She was just like a like she 586 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: was just like Matt Damon stopped playing cards, Like she 587 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: was just like a wet blanket. It was like not 588 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: a not a great role for Um. Who's to start 589 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: with the letter Q? So I guess the one question 590 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: that I have that was a killer Rosie present pressure. Uh, 591 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: I guess this raises for me? Why, like why do 592 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: people who are the best at the thing they do, 593 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: why does this keep happening where they come out Like 594 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Cosby here, I'm thinking of allegedly Louis c. 595 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: K H. A lot of female comics seem to have 596 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: had the same experience. Um, why is it that these 597 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 1: people who are like really great at something. Oh, the president, 598 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: by the way, has it's like apparently a serial sexual assaulter? Um, 599 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: like they're there are different ways you could look at it. 600 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: Is it that you know, being a sociopath makes you 601 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: good at manipulating people and bad at knowing how to 602 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: respect people and showing empathy. So you therefore see this 603 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: correlation between people who are you know, who are successful, 604 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: and who end up, you know, being serial sexual offenders. 605 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: My theory is that these are just the people that 606 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: we're seeing propelled doing it. But I think this is 607 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: a problem all across the board in that sadly, sexual 608 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: offense is like those kind of at least like transactions 609 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: are something that we don't think, like at least the 610 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: people in those situations don't think the consequences outweigh the 611 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: chance that they're taking. Are the relief that they're getting 612 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 1: from doing that terrible thing, Like I kind of equated 613 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: to like why so many Hollywood men cheat. I think 614 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: a lot of men cheat and they think that like, oh, 615 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: these consequences aren't going to be as bad as how 616 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: good this feels right now. So I think, like the 617 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: reason why so many successful people are doing it is 618 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: because they're the ones propelled up. But I think men 619 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: all across the board are doing this. Like I think 620 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: like there's probably like a gas station worker who just like, hey, 621 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 1: you want to better shift right, come into the back room, 622 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: But like, Godker's not gonna write an article about that. 623 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: Gas station owner. So I don't think that it's like 624 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: a sociopathic thing connected to like Hollywood. I think it's 625 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: a power thing overall. That's I agree with that I 626 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: was going to say. I always felt it was a 627 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: power thing. And for the people who get that far, 628 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: like Harvey Weinstein, where no no one says no to Harvey. 629 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: Harvey he's a powermaker. He goes, he gets these films 630 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: to win Oscars, He does everything he can, he pushes. 631 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: So I feel like when you get to that level, 632 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: people rarely are trying to basically control you in any way. 633 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: You start to do what you want and there's no 634 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: one there to say anything because people are afraid of you. 635 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: And then it's it almost feels like it's never ending, 636 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: where once Harvey's goes, there's another one that comes and 637 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 1: it's just it's like a cycle. But like so, Bill 638 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: Cosby committed his first sexual assault in nineteen sixty nine. 639 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: He was a successful stand up and like on a 640 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: couple of TV shows, but he was not the most 641 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: successful stand up and TV star ever. It was thirteen 642 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: years before he released himself the stand up album, and 643 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: like fifteen years before the Cosby Show debut uh, Like, 644 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 1: so of all the successful stand ups, the guy who 645 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: was secretly drugging and raping women for thirteen years became 646 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: the most famous stand up basically in the history of 647 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: the art form. And like America's Dad and then like 648 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein's first act of sexual abuse was up to 649 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: that point, he was the head of like an indie studio. 650 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: They had The Thin Blue Line, a documentary and sex 651 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: lies and videotapes. But like, why did the guy who 652 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: was sexually assaulting and harassing women go on to define 653 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: the nineties like it? You know, because he's the only 654 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: one that we found out about. Like I'm willing to 655 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: bet that, like Bill Cosby isn't the only comedian from 656 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: Like I'm willing to bet that there's more, right, Like 657 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean we're hearing about more like Lucy Kay, and 658 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: like others are being out it right now, Like the 659 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: screen Junkies dude from This Weekend. He's not a fucking 660 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: powerful dude, Like he's barely even on that network, but 661 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 1: he still does. Yeah, Like again, these aren't powerful dudes, 662 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: Like I think it's just well they're powerful within a 663 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: within a content right exactly. And I think that's what 664 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: we're seeing, which is like, yeah, Harvey wind Stein is 665 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: powerful overall. But like I still think that this happens. 666 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we hear about it with teachers, we hear 667 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: about it with professors, like you know, like happens in 668 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: improv all the time. Like I think it's just a 669 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: power dynamic. I don't think it's necessarily correlated to success, 670 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: like the most successful person huh well yeah, or guess 671 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: like and it was saying like you maybe get emboldened 672 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: a bit when you get to a certain level where 673 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: now you feel like you're just untouchable, and so you 674 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: kind of let all your it doesn't you'll you'll you'll 675 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: actually go and indulge every single orde you have because 676 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: like well, like you're you're saying, people are thanking me 677 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: and their Oscar exeveence speeches more than God or whatever, 678 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: like I'm a kingmaker, like what like this is my world, 679 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: like this is I'm the king of this reality or whatever. Right, 680 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: And I guess you could say that even though he 681 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: did it, in the fact that he kept doing it 682 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: and like made a habit of it, was because he 683 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: got that powerful. I mean, that's the thing that makes 684 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: the most sense to me. Is just that power corrupts. Yeah. Um, 685 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 1: all right, well that that was a laugh riot. Um, 686 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: are there any later stories we wanna go out on?
