59
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 6: So here are the most the three most recent things

60
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 6: that I've googled. One is our fifty mile per hour

61
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 6: winds deadly. Second our one hundhundred mile per our winds deadly.

62
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 6: The answer that for fifty is not really. The answer

63
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 6: for one hundred is yes wow. And the third thing

64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 6: that I've searched is sad pictures of Garfield, because you know,

65
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 6: I find a post about Garfield, and sometimes you just

66
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 6: got to find a sad picture of Garfield that.

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 7: Genuinely does tell me a lot about how your mind works.

68
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 7: Because I'm going to let you know right now, my

69
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 7: third search would have been to seventy five mile hour.

70
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 5: No, I mean I got my answer.

71
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, one hundred mile hour winds are deadly?

72
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Are we seeing one hundred right now?

73
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 6: I think it's I think it's supposed to be fifty

74
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 6: to one hundred.

75
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: Potentially it's a big range Los Angeles Weather Service.

76
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 8: That's a Jesus, what is happening? I didn't even realize

77
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 8: this was a thing.

78
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,720

Speaker 7: Twister from Twisters sleeping off the Golden Glows, right right, folks?

83
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Am I right? I didn't watch all of the Golden Globes,

84
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: so I don't think I got that reference. But I didn't.

85
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 7: Oh, I didn't watch any of it, nor did I

86
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,680

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,680

90
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: Best Cinematic Theatrical Experience or whatever was that. I think

91
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Wicked ended up winning.

92
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 6: Thats so there was more than one twister in this movie.

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 6: So some of you the main Twisters, the main twister

97
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fun. People keep getting sucked off

98
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: into the sky as much. Just like to point out

99
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,600

00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: What you got you got? Anything you canted underrated?

118
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: A few things I think like you with many observations

119
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: hit us and we we kept.

120
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: Them for this moment.

121
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: I will start off with the convenience of watching movies

122
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 4: that are out in theaters on your couch.

123
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 8: It's a slippery slope, y'all.

124
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: I love going to move to the movies.

125
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: I always will, but the ease at which you can

126
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: summon a new movie and watch it on the couch

127
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: almost had me thinking, why do I bother going to

128
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: the theater? Yea, but then you want to go and

129
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: rent that shit on your couch. And I still can't

130
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: wrap my head around renting of a temporary stream from

131
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: like an Apple TV or whatever for twenty dollars. It's like,

132
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: somehow I can't even fathom that it's cheaper than actually

133
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: going to the movies. I'm like, no, no, no, twenty

134
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: dollars to rent. I go, Brian, is this on the server?

135
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? Plus you always get mad that I'm laughing at

136
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: inappropriate moments when I'm taking the video of the movie exactly,

137
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: I watch and then send to you.

138
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: I mean, thank you for sending me that nas Faratu

00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,080

141
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna get through all these. The next one

142
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: la weather and how I perceive winter. We all know

143

Speaker 5: And then I went to Colorado.

151
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: The thing, basically, what I noticed was a lot of

152
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: places that get snow weren't getting snow as like sort

153
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: of around the typical time, thanks climate change. I was

154
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: also reading about how snow days are like becoming less

155
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: and less of a frequent occurrence.

156
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: And now I never.

00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: Knew about that. I didn't even know that was a

158
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: fucking thing.

159
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: But when I know that from movies, which has shaped

160
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: my entire idea of what winter is because I thought, basically,

161
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: when December hits, everywhere is a winter wonderland.

162
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 5: Turns out that's not true. Earth has different patterns.

163
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: But anyway, I just I just have to say I

164
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 4: was just I went to skate on a frozen lake

165
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: and that shit was so whimsical I had to skate

166
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 4: it in a minute.

167
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Wait, where were you?

168
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 5: I went to Colorado for a couple of days.

169
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 4: Shatayan, Shock, Kelly, you know, shout out the whole crew

170
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 4: out there, and we skated on a frozen lake.

171
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 5: That shit was so fun.

172
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 4: But then I was also talking to someone else who's

173
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 4: from the East Coast and like, I used to do

174
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: this all the time, but the lakes don't freeze over

175
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: with the same frequency they did as a kid, and

176
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: like the kids in my town, like my town growing up,

177
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: don't kind of know the same way we used to

178
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: do winter. And then I had like this like weird

179
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: blade runner moment where I'm like just like shedding a

180
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: tear for like everything and everyone I'd been through. It

181
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 4: got kind of kind of grim. As I stated, on

182
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: this lake, I thought a lot about climate change.

183
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: Lakes here gobbling people up. Yeah, yeah they are. I'm

184
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: just saying like, maybe maybe it would help with the

185
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: climate catastrophe if we had ways to dramatize it. No,

186
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: snow days and lakes are gobbling people up who try

187
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: and and I.

188
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 4: Think I think it also makes it a little bit

189
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 4: different me because like I'm so used to the one

190
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: note climate that I'm not realizing how wacky the variations.

191
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I obviously know that intellectually that earth death

192
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 4: is happening in real time, but there's something about living

193
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 4: in la where you're just.

194
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 5: Kind of like, oh, it's not as cold in December.

195
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: And then you go a little bit further up, like

196
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 4: where there's usually like Big Bear where their ski season

197
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: is like getting destroyed like a year after year because

198
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: of the lack of snowfall.

199
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: All that to say my next underrated beef tallow get in, folks.

201
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: I made a roasted a lot of holiday meat, rendered

202
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: the fat, and I've used it to make frozen hash

203
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: browns tastier okay, grilled cheese sandoz from Okay because they're

204
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: so fucking beef fatty Okay, the way I grill them

205
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 4: and the vibe of steak and eggs with just eggs

206
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 4: and using the beef tallot to fry the eggs.

207
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: Anyway, you're rendering the fat just by like cooking a

208
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: steak on a grill on a you know.

209
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: Like I made like a I made a prime rib

210
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 4: roast like for Christmas, and so all the fat trimming

211
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: and leftover fat from that meal, I just cut up

212
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: into small pieces and just put that on low heat,

213
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 4: all the fat, just to get all that fat out.

214
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: Then you strain it and now you have just the

215
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: essence of beef flavor that you can use to do

216
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: anything with. So anyway, so I think.

217
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm raising a couple miles is in the in the

218
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: sense of like really I took I drove, just me

219
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: and my boys went up to Sequoia National Park. I

220
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: was really excited about the big trees. I was like, damn,

221
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: look how big those trees are. Those trees are huge.

222
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: And kids, guys, they were into that, but like really

223
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: what they were They just like there was a a

224
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: field with snow in it, and they just like went

225
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: and lot wanted to play in the snow the whole

226
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: time and just like pick up chunks of ice and

227
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: hit hit piles of snow with sticks.

228
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: The geist child every time we saw snow. He go Santa.

229
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 4: Santa is Santa because like a couple of like the

230
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 4: weird you know Santa things that we saw always have

231
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: like these very winter depictions that he meet.

232
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: Is like Santa.

233
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: And I'm like, nah, Son, that's just snow.

234
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: That's we don't know, we.

235
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 5: Know, not of snow can come from.

236
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: All right, my underrated leg day. So this is a

237
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: weird run. But on the basketball podcast, I listened to

238
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: The Flagrant Ones hosted by a friend of the show,

239
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Carl Tart, friend of the show, Hayes Davenport. The third

240
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: host who we should have on at some point but

241
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: have not, ye Shawn Clements. Uh So, Sean Clements was

242
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: talking about this tennis movie he wrote and that just

243
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: wrapped that he was shooting. And they had as like

244
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: a tennis consultant, the number one tennis coach in America,

245
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: like in pros there to consult and he was like,

246
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: is really what he's like? Great guy, but he kept

247
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: talking about men's legs and he was just obsessed with

248
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: legs and like, and they like had a professional tennis

249
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: player come in and they were like talking about how

250
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: the coaches about all about legs and the professional tennis

251
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: players like guys, let me stop you right there. I

252
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: would love to join in and make fun of him,

253
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: but like, I'm also obsessed with men's legs, and apparently

254
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: like just having real some plumper rocks down there is

255
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: what actually like makes you a great tennis player, which

256
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: isn't what I would I would assume you just go

257
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: out there looking like Popeye, big arms, tiny tiny legs

258
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: and just whacking that thing around. But apparently it's all

259
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: about leg So it got me checking checking some legs.

260
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: And then I went and saw No Sparatu, and I

261
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: really enjoyed No Saratu. Bobby Eggs I think has officially

262
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Robert Eggers has officially entered the cannon of like directors

263
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: who like just will open them like enough people will

264
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: go see the movie like whatever whatever he does. It's

265
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: like a weird vampire origin story, but it feels like

266
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: you're Hermanoudic sealed in like a different time. Like it

267
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: just feels so completely engrossing or hermetically hermetically hermenetically is

268
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: from Herman inside Herman's head. Hermetically yes, but anyways, uh,

269
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: it's it's real horny. This is real horny dark vampire

270
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: origin story. A lot of people went and saw it

271
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not that into this ship, but I'm

272
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna go see it and really really enjoyed it. The

273
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: dragula count Orlock is there's this one shot of him

274
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: and I feel I feel like they were on the

275
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: verge of launching a sex symbol with this count Orlock guy.

276
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: And then they show him and he is walking around

277
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: on some flats like after I get done with some

278
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: chicken wing flats, Like they are just bare bones, just

279
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: bare bones down there, just like split my bones.

280
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: What this picture you put in for reference?

281
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: It is fucking you're so is this dude walking around

282
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 4: like this the whole movie?

283
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: So all right here, here's the problem.

284
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 5: Is it spoilers or no?

285
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of spoilers, So I can't tell you exactly,

286
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: you know what, Okay, do a spoiler for you to

287
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: say exactly what you're looking at. But he is revealed

288
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: at the very end to you know, you get to

289
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: see the whole body it he's he's not working with

290
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: much down there. He's been he's been floating around too much,

291
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: like just two inches off the ground. I guess that's

292
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: what happened to you. If you you know, if you're

293
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: just if you're just in a Spike Lee tracking shot,

294
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: anytime you want to move around, you know, that's I

295
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: feel like that. Uh that's that's where you end up.

296
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: His legs are just so tiny. So anyways, that was,

297
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think ultimately knows Fratu is a good

298
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: movie and a cautionary tale about like the vampiric nature

299
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: of like capitalism and sex. And but the cautionary tale

300
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: I took away is don't don't skip leg day. Yeah yeah, wow,

301
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: that's uh those are my two big ones. And yeah,

302
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: I started doing legs, started lifting legs, yeah, legs, started

303
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: doing started using my legs. The first time.

304
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 5: You go too hard, you're like, oh man, I tore

305
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: my hamstring.

306
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh go easy.

307
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 5: Go easy on those legs, Jack, take care of them.

308
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: I do my best. What is something blake that you

309
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: think is overrated?

310
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 9: So I think overrated as a practice is street cleaning,

311
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 9: like residential street cleaning in cities where I've never First

312
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 9: of all, i've never seen street cleaning happen. And I

313
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 9: go outside and look and like, wow, look how clean

314
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 9: this fucking street is? Like they don't nothing gets cleaned.

315
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 9: And if you don't know what it is. Like, Basically,

316
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 9: it's alternate street cleaning. So if you're in a city

317
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 9: they like, you're not allowed to park on a side

318
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 9: of the street from X time deck time because allegedly

319
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 9: a fucking sweeper truck comes by and cleans the street

320
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 9: and you get ticketed if you leave your car there.

321
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 9: So I don't have a like a garage or a

322
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 9: parking spot, so like I move my car. And this

323
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 9: also happened when I lived in La too, But it

324
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 9: just seems to me like a shitty way for the

325
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 9: city to get revenue with no benefit to people whatsoever

326
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 9: street cleaning. So there is an interesting where I saw

327
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 9: in Brooklyn, there's this weird community thing that like neighborhoods

328
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 9: will do where they'll double stack their cars on one

329
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 9: side of the street, so say, like the right side

330
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 9: it's being cleaned street cleaning. Cars from the right side

331
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 9: will just park next to the cars and trap them

332
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 9: in on the left side of the street. But like

333
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 9: I guess people know each other and have each other's

334
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 9: numbers where if they have to leave. Yeah, it's a

335
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 9: pretty elaborate system that I would imagine doesn't work.

336
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that just stressed me out so much too. My

337
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: heart rate shot through the roof just hearing about that arrangement.

338
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 7: I do kind of genuinely believe that it's a little

339
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 7: bit like velociraptor rules for the non ticketable side of

340
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 7: the street on on alternate side parking, like yeah, fucking

341
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 7: double park the entire street. Like I feel like, and

342
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 7: I know this can't be true, but I genuinely feel

343
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 7: like the fucking like traffic cops, the whatever, the people

344
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 7: giving tickets, it's like they can only see the side

345
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 7: of the street where people were like, you're not supposed

346
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 7: to be parked, and it's lawless on the other side

347
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 7: on here.

348
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, this is this is crazy. Brian the

349
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: editor has come through and described a situation that doesn't

350
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. Brand the editor lives in

351
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: Mexico City, where soon to be America City. Just you, yeah, whatever,

352
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: But they employ people who need money, okay, weird, and

353
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: give them a high viz vest and broom and then

354
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: they just actually clean the streets every day. So like,

355
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: where do you get the big machine that comes through

356
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: and blows shit in your face if you have to

357
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: be Yeah, because I have seen the streets. Yeah, it does.

358
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: It just turns it out of the way into a

359
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: different direction.

360
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 7: Because it makes it makes It's like what if you

361
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 7: only had a broom and no dust pan.

362
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's exactly what's.

363
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: Great if we created a three hundred thousand dollars machine

364
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: that was like a broom with no dust pan and

365
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: uh there's some water I think mixed in a little

366
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: bit where likes it down.

367
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:55,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a change. The leaves are moved, but they

368
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 7: are there.

369
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: So many things could be fixed with just like we're

370
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: gonna and four hundred jobs based on like talking to

371
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: people in the city, like jobs that they think should exist,

372
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: and yeah, the task we're going to pay them.

373
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 7: Well yeah, yeah, one utility for those street cleaning things.

374
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 8: I don't know if this is actually as.

375
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 7: True anymore in the era of three D printing, but

376
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 7: if you're looking to create DIY lock picks, the bristles

377
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 7: from a street cleaning thing are some of the best

378
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 7: in the bids as far as lock picking tools.

379
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: How the fuck do you know that mustache as well?

380
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 9: I want to add that.

381
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: But only at certain times of the month. You have

382
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: to get it at a certain times.

383
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 8: After they molt.

384
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: Yes, right before they molt, so you can't get it

385
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: unless you can make friends with the walrus right before

386
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: they molt off.

387
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 7: The lock pick thing, editor Brian has in Chats started

388
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 7: on a path of proclamations that I'm worried are going

389
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 7: to become legally actionable.

390
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 8: So I'll just say he agrees it works.

391
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: So well, you know that. That's amazing, all right, you

392
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: guys are much cooler than me. Also, the street cleaning thing,

393
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't talking about you, Blake. The street cleaning thing

394
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: does tie in with I think what we're going to

395
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: talk about with regards to the police, because it's like,

396
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: how do we have just every what if the only

397
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: tool you had was a hammer and you had to

398
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: make it do every job with the blunt end of

399
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: a hammer.

400
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 7: A bunch of hammers that actually shoot really little hammers

401
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 7: via concussive force, and that's all you can do with them.

402
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 7: They're not really designed for hammering anything.

403
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: The way we don't have people who go out in

404
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: the street clean the street. We have one really fast,

405
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: heavy machine that goes around and if you get in

406
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: it the fucking way, you have to deal with the cops. Asshole.

407
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: A weird way to streets, clean, clean up the streets.

408
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: We're taking out the trash. Were No, we just like

409
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: literally mean we want the streets to.

410
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 8: Be not literally trash.

411
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Yes, asshole. As Biden said, we count on police to

412
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: be our teachers, are psychiatrists, our librarians, our custodians, our wives.

413
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: We don't need to defund the police. We need to

414
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: fund more. That was his argument, giving them more fun. Anyway,

415
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break, we'll come back, we'll talk

416
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: about the wildfires. And we're back. And as mentioned up top,

417
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Miles is not here because of the wildfires. I'm gonna,

418
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, give him space to to you know, talk

419
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: about it when he gets back. But you know, sending

420
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: a lot of love and good energy to him and

421
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: his family. But you know, we're ore. Producer Justin is

422
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: out because you know, his area has been without power

423
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: for forty eight hours. Just a lot of people dealing

424
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: with a lot of shit. I've got somebody who's a

425
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: good friend of mine who was evacuated, who's staying with

426
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: us right now. Andrew, it sounds like you've got some

427
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: of that, yeah in your way, yea, And yeah, it

428
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: just it's it's not one of those like I know

429
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: a guy who has a friend who like this impacted.

430
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: It's like every everybody's like one degree of separation away

431
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: from people who are losing.

432
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 7: And you know, to the extent that there is any

433
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 7: kind of silver lining to this, well, I don't know.

434
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 7: And I'm also going to say something that I'm not

435
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 7: even totally sure is true, but I think this is

436
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 7: the first like climate major climate disaster that has affected

437
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 7: large numbers of middle and upper middle class white people.

438
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's true.

439
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 7: I mean maybe assumption in the UK that is, but

440
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 7: you know, in the Far Australia and dry you know,

441
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 7: this is certainly like I don't know what sort of

442
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 7: like change in political will this could possibly bring, but

443
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 7: it is sort of that where it's like, you know,

444
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 7: you can't hide from this, like you know, as much

445
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 7: as it's a result of us, like you know, exploiting

446
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 7: the global South and people of color and poor people everywhere,

447
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 7: it's like, yeah, but it's it's we're changing shit, and

448
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 7: it's it's there's no protection from this really.

449
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I think that's right.

450
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 8: It's not that that feels good, but that's the truth.

451
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 5: Right.

452
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: It feels like we're in a you know, the scale

453
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: seems biblical, Like I feel like it needs to be

454
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: biblical for like people to get their heads around what

455
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: is happening and like the amount of change that needs

456
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: to happen. But yeah, hopefully this is cutting across enough

457
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: borders that there's political will to do something beyond the

458
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: guy being like, hey, is anybody know any private firefighters

459
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: that could come through and save my house? Uh?

460
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 9: Andrew rained on that parade for me because I thought

461
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 9: there were cool, like you know, yeah fighters.

462
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 7: During that And look, I'm not saying I know for

463
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 7: sure that there are not, But it's just a thing

464
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 7: where it's like it's not from what I read about

465
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 7: like the private fire services that exist. It's not like

466
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 7: a uber for firefighters. It's more like a service that

467
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 7: you have worked with for years or.

468
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: It's not a last second you can't cram it as

469
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: the fire is closing in on your home.

470
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 8: You can't yo fire fighters. Oh yeah, I guess there's right.

471
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 7: There are planes that you can hire, but the general

472
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 7: firefighting I think is like part of like, you know,

473
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 7: a service that you've had. I've I heard it described

474
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 7: as like a lot of it was honestly landscaping advice.

475
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 7: Like it's just like you know, you're you're you're maintaining

476
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 7: a house that can be saved in the event of

477
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 7: a fire rather than just like Blackwater but for firefighters.

478
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that is a movie starring Mark Wahlberg that

479
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: is going to be made because of this tragedy. That

480
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: that is one outcome that I can foresee is like

481
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: a person facing down wildfire season and they're like, we

482
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: got to call in the fizz or whatever, just.

483
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 9: Shit face drunk in like Quincy, Massachusetts, turns on the

484
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 9: news cease fire and then yeah that Logan Airport on

485
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 9: a Jet Blue flight to La Yeah.

486
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where Mark Wahlberg was this week,

487
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: but Victor suproducer Victor points out that if he was here,

488
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have gone down the way it was. Fucking

489
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: sure it.

490
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 8: Would have punched that fire right out.

491
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

492
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 7: But yeah, which is not to say that there's not

493
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 7: like resources to be marshaled, but like the best way

494
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 7: to spend you know, this money is on things like

495
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 7: taxes and an appropriate city budget that funds the Los

496
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 7: Angeles Fire Department or whatever fire department you're in.

497
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 8: Yes, like it or not, we're all on some level

498
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 8: in this together.

499
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: Yes, I do just want to like firefighters. I think

500
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: they come into the national spotlight every once in a while,

501
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: and when they do, it's not like the cup where

502
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: we're just like, wait, why the fuck do we have

503
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 1: these guys anything, like these guys are fucking terrible, Like

504
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: it's uh, you kind of get reminded why everybody wants

505
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: to fuck them and uh and why Like if you

506
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: have to give a movie character a heroic job, you

507
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: go with firefight, Like to give this guy a calendar. Yeah, yeah,

508
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't care what he looks like, turn him into

509
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: Jack Off material. But there was I don't know, like

510
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm probably in the midst of you know, of just

511
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: this story, but like there was the equivalent of an

512
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: NBA like highlight a fire. Helicopter just dropped a swimming

513
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: pool of water on a fire that was like spreading

514
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: out of the Hollywood Hills. It was literally like everybody,

515
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: it's you know, fairly close to where we live, and

516
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: like all our neighbors were like, holy shit, like here

517
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: comes the one that's gonna and this. Yeah, I don't

518
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: think this single handedly stopped it, but like a helicopter

519
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: dropped a swimming pool of water on a fire and

520
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 1: it just fucking went out like the It was like

521
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: swish from way downtown. I was like, holy shit.

522
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 7: Without getting too dark, I saw I don't know, blue sky.

523
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 7: I guess the comment threat underneath it was like like

524
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 7: you know various things that you could yell when you

525
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 7: when you make a great shot in basketball. And someone

526
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 7: was like, you know that pilot was yelling Kobe.

527
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 8: And then people pointing out.

528
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 9: Scream yeah, I'm zooming in on the photo of the helicopter.

529
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 9: Oh my god, that's Mark Wahlberg flying that bird.

530
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: Hey you know he wouldn't tell anybody if he did.

531
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: He's just like a humble.

532
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: By.

533
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 9: The helicopter is just a fancy drone. So I just

534
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 9: want to say that as a Jersey person, I saw

535
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 9: a copter and I wanted to shoot it down.

536
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: Then is that thing doing up there? I started spinning it.

537
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: I was spinning at the sky. New Jersey people would

538
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: be freaked out by l a man lord aliens. So

539
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: I've been kind of like glued to this coverage. Uh

540
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, our kids are out of school. Uh so

541
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: we're just you know.

542
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 7: I had a friend who had school yesterday, which is

543
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 7: also insane.

544
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: Really God, but you know, glued to the fire. I

545
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: see fire maps when I close my eyes now, like

546
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: the varying colors which Andrew you were pointing out before.

547
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 7: I do have a note for the listen. I understand

548
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 7: fire watch app wonderful service. People have been really enjoying it.

549
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 8: Watch duty.

550
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 7: We'll say there, U I bright red fire makes sense,

551
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 7: dark magentaish or dark pink. Let's say fire warning, yellow

552
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 7: fire whatever, the equivalent of tornado watches.

553
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 8: It's like, you'll be ready to be evacuated, but.

554
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 7: Then they just have a you're in a dry fire

555
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 7: prone area and that's like a different shade of pink,

556
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 7: which is very alarming. And get the map, yeah, because

557
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 7: you're like, yeah, I guess the other one's orange. The

558
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 7: point is the gradations of danger go from red dark pink, yellow,

559
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 7: and then least dangerous is light pink, which I think

560
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 7: is bad UI.

561
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 8: On a personal level, we.

562
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: All agree that it should be like yellow, orange, red,

563
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: and some like grading it in there right like that

564
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: that's my pitch. That's what they're doing inherent. Yeah, they

565
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: are doing a great job. Also, like my eight year

566
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: old is like addicted to that app now, like he

567
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: just we were like he's like scrolling it and like obsessed.

568
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, one of the It's different where in La,

569
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 9: we had like an earthquake kit in our place because

570
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 9: I love for the listeners. I live in LA for

571
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 9: ten years and it's one of the only it's the

572
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 9: only place I've ever lived where I had an emergency

573
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 9: kit basicly go bag.

574
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I could.

575
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 9: Go bag, which isn't necessarily you know, like there are

576
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 9: obviously situations in other places where you could need that.

577
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 9: But I remember having like earthquake water, Like we would

578
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 9: always have like a case of water somewhere and then

579
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 9: we would get thirsty on our way out and grab

580
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 9: the water, so we just wouldn't have any water. Yeah,

581
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 9: is this something that you like, Do you guys have

582
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 9: earthquake kits? Like I know, like some of you have

583
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 9: packed up I was talking to yeah before.

584
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, mine's not freshened up since the last time. I

585
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 7: probably put in the big work to do it in

586
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 7: twenty twenty, Like I think my cube of water cannot

587
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 7: possibly be good. I will say before that I did

588
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 7: have an earthquake kit that was based on gallons of

589
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 7: water and being hungover in my late twenties early thirties.

590
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 8: The fact that I like.

591
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 7: Drank my earthquake water really says something about America. I

592
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 7: think because I was too hot. But yeah, I got

593
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 7: the cube that's allegedly non toxic.

594
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 8: But there's just no way. The Cube's been there for

595
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 8: like four years. It can't be good.

596
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: It's earthquake diet coke. Yeah, I've got a twelve pack

597
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: of ye coke for what lukewarm diet coke from the

598
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: early dies What the cube is like a separate It's

599
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: not just like a two gallon thing of arrow.

600
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 7: Oh, I mean it's it's it's like a water container

601
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 7: that someone recommended.

602
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: That's like, okay, the square. You can see a square.

603
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 8: Everyone can see a square.

604
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: Can't can't Now you've lost tell.

605
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 9: You about spears afterwards, and you're gonna flip that.

606
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: Wait, so you're talking about like a third dimension. That's

607
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm not you.

608
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 8: Know what doesn't make sense to people would say that.

609
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I was watching this press conference yesterday and

610
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: it just really drove home the thing we were talking

611
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: about about the police, Like the police are coming into

612
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: this in a couple of ways. One because people noticed

613
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: that the firefighting budget was cut a small amount last year.

614
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, like people who are defensive or you know,

615
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: hate the Republicans are like the Republican are making this

616
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: seem like they slashed the entire budget. It was, you know,

617
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: a two percent budget cut. Fine, they also like massively

618
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: increased the police budget as crime is going down and

619
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: the fire the danger of fire is going up. And

620
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: it's not specific politicians fault. It's the entire American apparatus

621
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: that does this. But I was actually this press conference yesterday.

622
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: It was like the Pasadena fire chief and then police chief,

623
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: and just the rhythm of this press conference was so wild,

624
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: Like they first half it's the fire chief. He's just

625
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: this weird little guy, just answering difficult questions, like here's

626
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: why it's spread. Here are the challenges we faced. Here

627
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: are where like we could have done better. Here, here's

628
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: what's still going on, like ending his answers with like,

629
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: did that answer your question? And like it seemed genuinely

630
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: curious about whether it had like not a genius, nothing

631
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: particularly noteworthy, just a person doing doing the job that

632
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: they have at a difficult time when people like not

633
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: a job speaker, not a public speaker in any way.

634
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: Then they give the next part of the press conference

635
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: to the police chief and he like opens up like

636
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: bragging about individual people that they had evacuated from their homes,

637
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: like just having to like just flex on everybody, and

638
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: then started talking about and he's like, and now we're

639
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: moving into the problem solving situation where we're gonna deal

640
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: with anybody who's looting, and like starts seating this like

641
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: looting story. By the way, could a better funded fire

642
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: department have done the evacuations?

643
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 8: Yeah?

644
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: Who's to say.

645
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 7: There's the thing with like we're watching the argument for

646
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 7: defund the police, Like literally, even if you're the most

647
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 7: like conservative, non maniac possible who thinks we need some

648
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 7: kind of police, like, most of the money that goes

649
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 7: to the police is the least efficient way to do

650
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 7: those job descriptions like the non fucking law enforcement allegedly

651
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 7: side of things.

652
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 8: You're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

653
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 7: You you got in like the cops having five times

654
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 7: more budget or more than the than the fire department.

655
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 7: But talking on a retail level about helping individuals versus

656
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 7: people try to help communities. Several orders of magnitude in

657
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 7: both the wrong direction. Yes, so this is just a

658
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 7: bad investment, you fucking business dickheads, Like, yeah, explain that exactly.

659
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 9: Well, the police, there are, there are teachers, there are doctors,

660
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 9: and there are firemen.

661
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: Police are our firemen. Yes, exactly, there are doctors, there

662
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: are wives, there are firemen.

663
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 7: It's just an expensive, least effective version of all those things.

664
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, why would you want that?

665
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: And then the second half of the police part was

666
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: just the most fired is going to incrutable. Essentially the

667
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: verbal equivalent of firing is gun in the air with

668
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: the like inscrutable police speak about the possibility of looters

669
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: where they're just like, uh, and we just got one

670
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: message for you, don't even try it. We're now shifting

671
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: into the safety operation where we will be on the

672
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,959
Speaker 1: lookout for looters. Make no mistake, we will act decisively

673
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: and with definitive kinetic means in the eventuality that we

674
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, just like throwing all those fucking bullshit police

675
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: worth any individual perpetrating such criminal activity for the fullest

676
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: extent of the law. Yeah, exactly.

677
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 7: Shit not to invoke you know, previous week's biggest story,

678
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 7: but the biggest theft that will be occurring in southern

679
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 7: California will be on behalf.

680
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 8: Of insurance companies.

681
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 7: Oh, we have already stolen tons of money and will

682
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 7: not be paying out on things that they owe.

683
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 8: That is oh yeah, my prediction.

684
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: My prediction is that that they are going to be

685
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: going bankrupt and it's going to be up to the

686
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: government to yeah that there as all people's yeah, which

687
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: I don't know.

688
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 7: People will simply not be made whole on the things

689
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 7: that are absolutely owed, which I feel like is likely anyway.

690
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 7: And if you're thinking about theft Californians and the globe,

691
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 7: just remember the theft already happened, and it's a bunch

692
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 7: of guys in board rooms.

693
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: Two nights into many homes across the city being evacuated,

694
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: and the police the reporting they've encountered three instances of looting,

695
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: I think, and by the way, they give themselves a

696
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: very wide latitude when determined something is looting.

697
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 9: So someone picked a quarter up off the ground, and yeah,

698
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 9: so they were looting the ground.

699
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, we saw they're looting our city. The very

700
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: foundation of our city is our grounds. It's our ground. Yeah,

701
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: And that is true, and you can't you can't deny

702
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: that and we're not taking questions and we will take

703
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: no for the answers at this time. Let's take a

704
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,

705
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: and we are ten days out, nine days out from

706
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: the Academy Awards being announced on January seventeenth. One movie

707
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: that definitely won't get nominated for Best Picture is Madam Web.

708
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: It's a fun movie. Yeah.

709
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 7: It's also the best of those Spider Man movies that

710
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 7: got put out this year.

711
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: No, the the other ones, craveh Venom three.

712
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 7: Okay, I guess my Craven is the quote unquote best,

713
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 7: but Madam Web is the best.

714
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think that Madam Web.

715
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 6: It's just like what's so fun about Madam Web is

716
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 6: it's basically watching people take the biggest possible swings on

717
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 6: screen and just like whiffing it every single time. Like

718
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 6: it's just like a like get get together with your

719
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 6: friends and watch it on like a Saturday night.

720
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: It's like a fun watch.

721
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 8: I really liked it. I really liked watching it. I

722
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 8: had a lot of fun.

723
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 7: I there's some bizarre cg in it that is like

724
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 7: truly delightful.

725
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: You're just like the adr is insane.

726
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 7: The thing that is so cre Having now worked in

727
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 7: a little bit of television, I'm just like, how is

728
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 7: this allowed? Like how did this get approved to be

729
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 7: like put in theaters? Just in terms of pieces of

730
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 7: the craft, I'm just like, this is wild to me.

731
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 7: The star of Madame Web to me was the pepsi can.

732
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 7: There's a floating PEPs in it. That's so amazing.

733
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 6: Several scenes of a pepsi can that that Matt trying.

734
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: To pepsi can? Was that like she had it but

735
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: like never drank at it? What was the deal with

736
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: the pepsi can? I just like saw that meme without

737
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: volume on, so I don't know what it is.

738
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 6: So she's at a baby shower for a car spider.

739
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 6: It's a carry baby shower for Peter Parker, but for

740
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 6: probably sony legal reasons, they can't say Peter Parker. There's

741
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 6: literally a point in this sequence where they say like, oh,

742
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 6: what's the baby's name, and then she goes to say Peter,

743
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 6: and then a car honks. You can't hear Peter. Yeah, yeah,

744
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 6: this is all real. This really like Parker? Yeah, yeah,

745
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 6: one hundred percent.

746
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 7: It's like Austin Powers didn't realize he didn't have the

747
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 7: rights to Spider Man, but still has to produce a movie.

748
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

749
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, So so this pepsican it's at you know, car

750
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 6: Honk Parker's baby shower, and the lead in the movie

751
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 6: is carrying this pepsi can around. I'm definitely presenting it,

752
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 6: like clearly they have some brand deal with pepsi, but

753
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 6: at no point does she open it. And she like

754
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 6: goes to try to open it several times, but then

755
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 6: she'll get interrupted like inner conversation, and it's like son

756
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 6: roll scenes of this. It's like she goes from the

757
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 6: kitchen to the outside to like another area holding this

758
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 6: pepsi can, displaying it like it's a commercial, going to

759
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 6: like act like she's about to open it and then

760
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 6: stopping because she like gets distracted by a bird or

761
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 6: something like that, and going, well.

762
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: They won't say of our modern cinemat Yeah.

763
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 7: I feel like it's genuinely they just caught Dakota Johnson

764
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 7: trying to figure out what a can of pepsi was,

765
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 7: and that's what it was.

766
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 6: So something I also really appreciate is that in the

767
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 6: movie they established that Spider Man's outfit is inspired by

768
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 6: this outfit from like an unnamed indigenous tribe and I

769
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 6: believe like South America or something like that. So by

770
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 6: saying that, you're basically saying that Spider Man is like

771
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 6: a culturally appropriating this tribe.

772
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 8: That's right.

773
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 6: So you're like attractively making Spider Man racist, which is great.

774
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: At least they didn't do the Back to the Future

775
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: thing where the indigenous tribe was hoppying off of Spider Man,

776
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: because that's how Back the Future worst, where Marty McFly

777
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: white teenage Marty McFly goes back in time and gives

778
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: Chuck Berry the idea for Rock and Roll.

779
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 7: Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, so probably what happened.

780
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: So maybe, yeah, but that that is the the famous

781
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: quote of like the guy who was there before my

782
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: mom died and when she was studying spiders in.

783
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 8: Oh god, so wonderful.

784
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, none of these are the reasons that it

785
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: won't be winning Best Picture because in order to be included,

786
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: you need to meet Hollywood's inclusion and representation standards, which

787
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: are they've been criticized for being like very loose and

788
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, things that you could just accidentally do while

789
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: still like not having an inclusion and representation in your film.

790
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: But these Madam Web, and one hundred and sixteen other

791
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: feature films were released this year did not meet the

792
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 1: rules did not meet the standard, including Bad Boys, Ride

793
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: or Die, The Mean Girls Musical, and Sadly the Garfield Movie.

794
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 7: Is this list of rules for quote diversity inclusion like

795
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 7: Hollywood diversity inclusion, as in, they're just saying this needs

796
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 7: to have people of color or.

797
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: It's so these are the four categories, and you have

798
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: to meet two out of the four standards on screen representation,

799
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: themes and narratives, creative leadership, and project team. So that's

800
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, presumably, industry access and opportunities, and audience

801
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: development on this development.

802
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 6: Mate, So could this podcast be nominated for Best Picture?

803
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: I don't know.

804
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 7: It's a great well, yeah, obviously, yeah, the rules for

805
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 7: anything that's as perfect as this. I mean not to

806
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 7: be the Madame Web apologist that I clearly am, but

807
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 7: I actually don't see how it does it. I mean,

808
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 7: assuming that Hollywood, like most American industries, counts white women

809
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 7: as you know, a group in the diversity requirement, I'm

810
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 7: just like, is Madame Web not all of these things?

811
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 6: I guess it's probably behind the scenes, is probably pretty

812
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 6: straight white dude.

813
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: But that's just kind of my guests.

814
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'm just saying the creative the I mean,

815
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 8: the lead.

816
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 7: I'm assuming Dakoda Dotson was an EP on this, Like

817
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 7: am I am?

818
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 8: I Am I wrong? Like it just feels like it's there.

819
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: Seems like it probably passes the Bechdel test, right, so it.

820
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 7: Depends on They're mostly talking about spiders, so they're talking Yeah,

821
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 7: I think it's a spider Man.

822
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: Shit. It does feel like maybe what's happening is they

823
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: will go through the exercise of like making a movie

824
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: eligible if they think it has any award chances, because

825
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: like another one that didn't make it this year, Harold

826
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: and the Purple Crown. So it's Boy Kills World? Is

827
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: that a sequel to Boy Meets World?

828
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 8: I don't know that Kills World does thee.

829
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 7: Uh it's the The Count orlock first person one with

830
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 7: John Benjamin as the voice in like a that's a

831
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 7: shootery type of thing that I did not see.

832
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: Okay. I think it's just like they like probably hire

833
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: a spend spend like a million dollars to hire McKinsey

834
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: to like if they think it has a chance, like

835
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: making being nominated.

836
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 7: Sony couldn't argue that Madame Webb does these things. And

837
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 7: I'm also shocked that I'm gonna say, just off the

838
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 7: top of my head, illumination could argue that Garth the

839
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 7: Garfield movie didn't also do these things.

840
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 6: Look, look, people of color. Orange is of color. I'm

841
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 6: just saying, that's.

842
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 7: Right, that's right, casts that's right, Odie, wherever the fuck

843
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 7: Odie is.

844
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 6: There's like that movie probably I feel like I don't

845
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 6: know this for a fact, but I feel like there's

846
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 6: probably seeing that movie where Garfield's girlfriend Arlene and a

847
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,760
Speaker 6: female security guard talk about lasagna for more than four lines.

848
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: So, like, you know, I think this probably passes the

849
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: Bechdel test. The Bechdel test is not one of the standards,

850
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: by the way. That was just me.

851
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 8: We're just throwing this out there, you know, we're just starting.

852
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: We put us in charge, Hollywood. We'll let everybody in,

853
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: all right. And finally, sex spots are going a little

854
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: bit viral right now thanks to this article from the

855
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: Sun back in twenty sixteen. Then somebody went back and

856
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: screen capped it was tweeted out revealed women will be

857
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: having more sex with robots than men by twenty twenty five,

858
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: came out June thirtieth, twenty sixteen, is accompanied by a

859
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: picture of a like robot from Yeah well roby I robot.

860
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, the I robot robot just like laying there

861
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: looking off pensively as a naked woman like nuzzles his chest.

862
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, the robot is thinking about the price of microchips

863
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 6: right now.

864
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 8: What weird day at the photoshop minds?

865
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 6: I know, Yeah, photoshop woman having sex with a robot

866
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 6: and the robot does have emotions and is not into this,

867
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 6: you know what.

868
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 7: Probably the weirder part is the graphic designer having to

869
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 7: pretend to mock something up rather than pulling from their

870
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 7: vast files.

871
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, it is kind of that's the picture.

872
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, let me let me get right to see take

873
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 8: a couple of days.

874
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 6: Yet like a flip into personal stash robots. I also

875
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 6: loved it in this article the word of robots is

876
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 6: an all caps that's like they're yelling at at you.

877
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 8: Yeah.

878
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: More sex with robots than men by twenty twenty five. Yeah,

879
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: this person's got an ax to grind with robots.

880
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 8: Not to be not to be that guy.

881
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 7: But probably even before twenty twenty five, when you realize

882
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 7: this is this article is implying inferring that women will

883
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 7: be having sex with androids, you know, humanoid robots, sex bots.

884
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 7: I think that probably the definition of robot probably goes

885
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 7: down to including a decent number of existing commercial products

886
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 7: that are out on the market now in terms of sex.

887
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: Havn't that's why everyone look that hot and pensive. Well,

888
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: you nuzzle its chest, because that's the that's I'm just saying.

889
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 7: If you draw a frownie face on a vibrator, you

890
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 7: kind of robot said face vibrator.

891
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. So people start sharing this

892
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: when January first hit, and you know, people crowned twenty

893
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: twenty five the Year of robot. Fucking uh the headline,

894
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: And this is going to surprise people because this article

895
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: is from the Sun, which is, you know, one of

896
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: the finest news.

897
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 8: Outlets in one of the Murdoch ones.

898
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Sun is one of the one one of

899
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: the Murdoch ones that uh, I was shower of the

Speaker 1: Murdock ones. Yeah, really bad. Like also like nude pictures

901
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: of women in it. Like there's just a page that's like,

902
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: oh and this is the so you got your sports section,

903
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: you got your World news section, you got your Playboy

904
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: like magazine that we just became news. You know.

905
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 8: It's basically just you know, a broadsheet Reddit.

906
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: It is, That's right. So it cites one future ologist,

907
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: doctor Ian Pearson, who said that there was probably going

908
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: to be an era of robot fucking that starts in

909
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and that humans won't be overtaken by

910
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: sex robots until likely twenty fifty. But he and he's

911
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: he's pissed that this is going viral. So I never

912
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: said that. I said that. Like he specifically says in

913
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: his abstract that like it'll probably seem weird at first,

914
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: and like he's going to be doing it five until

915
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: it becomes delightful.

916
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 8: Oh my god, I does no one do.

917
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 7: We're just not questioning anyone who calls themselves a fucking

918
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 7: future ologist. Has any one of those fools ever been

919
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 7: right about anything.

920
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 6: That you're gonna say? Has any of those fools ever

921
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 6: been to the future?

922
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: Yeah?

923
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:45,959
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly where are they from?

924
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 7: There?

925
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah.

926
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 7: All these fuckers are doing is across a broad spectrum

927
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 7: of people parroting sci fi tropes, and then they each

928
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 7: put a different year, so that retroactively, one of them

929
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 7: will get the right year and then they can the

930
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 7: field of future ology.

931
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 8: Is correct, right, it's like fortune teller grift.

932
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 6: Well, I mean yeah, well that's that's like one hundred percent.

933
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 6: It is like it's like the click baitization of the

934
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 6: news is like it's not even focused on like is

935
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 6: this person an expert or not? It's just is this

936

Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, fan sourcing the news now, yeah, it's all

941
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: like fan fiction at this point. Like I can't get

942
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: over the new Jersey drones thing going as viral as

943
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: it did. But it just seemed like people are like,

944
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it's like kind of boring right now. Yeah.

945
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.

946
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: So the company that is the closest to making the

947
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: sex robot, so, first of all, you're going to be

948
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: shocked to learn that the actual sex robot industry in

949
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is more of a by dudes for

950
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: dudes type of thing, Like a lot of straight men

951
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: with disposable income, and that it's like a very insular

952
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: community where they all probably have like weird shorthand, Like

953
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: you could probably go spend a fascinating afternoon like in

954
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: a red subreddit about like you know, sex doll enthusiasts

955
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: and just like learning all the lingo and shot right now,

956
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: treat yourself subreddit and just take a day. The highest

957
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: end or like the the closest to a you know,

958
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: android level sex robot can't even stand up because the

959
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: only robotic bit is her head. As it's a it's

960
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: a woman. As our writer J M McNabb said, it

961
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: kind of looks like a collaboration between Maxim magazine and

962
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: Disney World's Hall of Presidence. Like that's kind of the

963
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: energy that you're getting from. It's just all very yeah,

964
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of diversity. It's just a bunch of

965
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty year old white guys being like, yeah,

966
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: if you could fuck a Barbie doll.

967
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 7: I mean that's like the classic Silicon Valley thing, which

968
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 7: is you're just seeing in the most extreme version, which

969
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 7: is like creating a product and a fake market that

970
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 7: doesn't exist.

971
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 8: You're just like, yeah, there's no need for this. Yeah,

972
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 8: there's I hate these people so much.

973
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 6: But it's also like creating a product that's like actively

974
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 6: making the world worse.

975
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: You know, yes, yes, yes, yeah.

976
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 8: Can I How can I make the world worse?

00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 7: Full the venture capitalists until they have they're pot committed,

978
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,719

00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: that represented child, which is fucking bleak as hell that

992
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: that has to be the very first rule.

993
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 7: I will just say my favorite question from this and

994
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 7: I am realizing I guess I clicked this. I am

998
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: Me, h, this is also really good. How can you

999
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: dispose of dolls discreetly? And the first sentence of the

1000
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: answer you should be able to cut it into smaller

1001
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: pieces if you have a wrench or other tools to

1002
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: symbol the skeleton underneath as well. It might just be

1003
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: easier to put it out for sale. Put it out

1004
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,800

Speaker 8: This is if there was any justice in the world.

1023
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 7: Were able to read about this in the Sun, right,

1024
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 7: we have to go to our slash sex dolls?

1025

00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: dolls soon? Yeah?

1027
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 7: But also this this idea, like like the scary headline

1028
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 7: of women will be having more sexual with robots, you know,

1029
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 7: obviously from a right wing mag is probably troubling. Yeah,

1030
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 7: scary thing, Like, yeah, all the actual facts are about

1031
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 7: no woman is remotely interested in this.

1032
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 8: There's no market for this.

1033
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 7: The only market is again, you know, probably the same

1034
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 7: two hundred white guys that you can identify.

1035
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly they So they spoke to

1036
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: a non future. By the way, the futurist. The futuist

1037
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: they talked to was like, I never said that. That's crazy,

1038
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: Like you just obviously took what I was saying out

1039
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: of context. But they asked somebody who has more of

1040
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: a expertise on this and said that it's a complex

1041
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: issue with a number of different considerations, but sex robots

1042
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: probably may never really be a thing, even if they're produced,

1043
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: they will remain a niche product and mostly used for companionship,

1044
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: with sex almost secondary to that which we're already seeing

1045
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: like AIS being used to help people's loneliness, and like

1046
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: the way we interact with actual people is not face

1047
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: to face and in person, so like, why spend all

1048
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: the money on you know these things cost an incredible

1049
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: amount of money? Ten thousand dollars.
