1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: Trends twenty twenty four. Four more years, four more years.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Just thought i'd keep the energy going that we had

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: before we started recording. We'll talk a little bit more

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: about it tomorrow. But back at your psych you were saying,

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: you really, Oh thanks, Scot my years old.

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: He's literally so old. I just I guess, as as

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: a woman of color in this country, I don't know

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: what it's like to have that type of power and

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: to aspire to that type of power. It has never

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: been modeled for me. So I just don't get the

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: idea of not wanting to rest. You know, you get

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: to a certain age and don't you just want to

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: spend time with your grandkids, just be home. Yeah it

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: does not work. Nope, what about that age says I

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: want to be president again?

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Oh come on, man, I tried that, Jack, You're in

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: the Trump administration is a boring man. I guess so

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: Jill got on my nerves, kept falling off my bike. Yeah,

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: it's wild. It'll be interesting to see if he survives

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: long enough. Literally a little dangerous. With the alternative being

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, it didn't really focus on whether Kamala Harris

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: is going to be his running mate. But that is

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: a pretty important question because he's so old. When he

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: got sworn in, he was already the oldest person who's

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: ever been president. We're four more years. Obviously, people are

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: doing more stuff at older ages than they have historically

28
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: been able to. But I don't know. It's just got

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: a bad feeling about this one. The news that's trending

30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: now beyond Joe Biden is people are bidding a fond

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: farewell to Harry Belafonte, rip to a real one. He

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: passed away at ninety six from congest heart failure. Just

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: kind of going back through his life. I knew he

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: was an activist. I didn't realize that he supported Fidel

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Castro and Hugo Chavez and like, you know, he was real.

36
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: He was like a true socialist, bankrolled nineteen sixties initiatives

37
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: to bring civil rights to black Americans, campaigned against poverty.

38
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: There's a cool story our writer jam was pointing out.

39
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: There's a documentary called The sit In. Harry Belafonte hosts

40
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: The Tonight Show. Apparently, like at the height of the

41
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: popularity of The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson had to take

42
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: a week off and had Harry Belafonte host The Tonight

43
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Show for a week. He's a hugely talented singer, actor, performer,

44
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: so it makes sense. But also that week he had

45
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: on guests such as Martin Luther King Junior, Bobby Kennedy.

46
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Just months before they were both a sad Martin Luther

47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: King Junior towards the end of his life was very

48
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: much focused on, you know, poverty and fighting poverty. It's

49
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: wild that this happened. It was like a rating success. Yeah,

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: and it's just been completely memory hold. I think it's

51
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: the thing that we talk about a lot on here

52
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: that I always say is that like America is allergic

53
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: to socialism. And I don't think it's necessarily the people

54
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: themselves that are allergic to socialism. It's the institutions. And

55
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: so even though a lot of people watched this and

56
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: took it in like, there was no echo, there was

57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: no follow through because I'm sure it was just completely

58
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: rejected by the mainstream media of what, Yeah, this never happened.

59
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: Systems at large that stand to fall apart if we

60
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: were to gather together in socialism. So yeah, that's incredible.

61
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: I definitely want to check that out it seems to

62
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: be on peacock.

63
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: Seems to be on peacock. But yeah, it also reminds

64
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: me of like when Bernie was having success then like

65
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: these artificial barriers that stand in the way of people's

66
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: interest in socialism just kind of rise up and then

67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, see, you can't you can't do that

68
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: in America because people don't have the appetite. And it's

69
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: like do they not or is it just like institutionally

70
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: and structurally built to keep any sort of idea of

71
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: socialism at Bay. Yeah, people are unhappy. There's been some

72
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: changes at McDonald's apparently they're they're introducing in certain select

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: markets out west more onions seem to be the thing,

74
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: which is just a wild Like I'm sure it just

75
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: like taste tested well in their you know, laboratory kitchens

76
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: or whatever. But they're they're putting onions on earlier in

77
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: the process, so like grilled onions factoring more heavily in

78
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: all of their burgers. And I don't know, like onions

79
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: were the thing that I hated the most about food

80
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, Like I was just like, no,

81
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: fuck onions, Like keep onions away from me. And this

82
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: is like wow, right, like you you always liked onions.

83
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: I've always been team onions since I was like a baby.

84
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: I love onions to this day. I'll eat them raw cooked, saute,

85
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: however you want to give them to me, I'll eat

86
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: them whatever type. I'm gonna eat them.

87
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: I love them now. But it's just for a food

88
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: thing that's like sowed down the middle, like broad like

89
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: to to be like our big change is gonna be

90
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: like going real onion heavy.

91
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: Well, it does seem that they want to cook the

92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: patties on the same grills as they cook the onions,

93
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: and actually cook the onions, because I don't know. Every

94
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: time i've been to McDonald's they are chopped white onions

95
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: like they're not They're raw, they're not cooked. So I

96
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: guess they're trying to cook the onions a little bit

97
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: to get some flavor. But I guess some of the

98
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: complaint not only has been the flavor, but maybe the

99
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: cross contamination with onion allergies. I did not really think

100
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 2: about that personally, as someone who gobble gobble gobbles onions,

101
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: I did not think it was that common of analogy.

102
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: But I guess when you go to somewhere like McDonald's,

103
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: where a the food feels pretty artificial as it starts.

104
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: You're not anticipating a food allergy when you walk into

105
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: that type of environment.

106
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah. People who aren't fans of onions are like,

107
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: it's just harder to get the onions off now. But

108
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: they're saying it in a very measured way because it's

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: on social media, so they're saying, uh, this is fucking disgusting.

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: I'm t more onions. I want to. I mean, I

111
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: try not to eat fast food. Luckily, I live in

112
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: New York where it's like you're not running into fast

113
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: food anywhere.

114
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: You know.

115
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: I love to cook, but I am a sucker for McDonald's.

116
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: I am, you know. I grew up in the South,

117
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: in the pit of all fucking fast food, and I

118
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: will eat a you know, spicy McChicken and a spicy

119
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: or not a spicy a whatever mcdouble put those things

120
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: together makes a colloquially known mcgang bang. Yeah, fucking love

121
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: that shit, and I might have to go get one just.

122
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: I feel like that's hurt my jaw.

123
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: It is not good for you in every facet of

124
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: the way you eat it. How it feels going down

125
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: the aftermath. None of it's good, but it feels good

126
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: on the taste buds, and that's what matters to me.

127
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Feels good on them taste buds. There's new polling that

128
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: suggests that the Mega movement is wildly unpopular, which I

129
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, we'll see, but the polls can't be

130
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 1: it all mean yeah, exactly. It says that only twenty

131
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: four percent of people are really on board for this.

132
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Just twenty four percent of Americans have positive views of

133
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: the movement, while forty five percent voice negative views. The

134
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: forty five percent number seems low to me, like that

135
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: as wild.

136
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: It does seem low.

137
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: That was the focus of Biden's like announcement video is

138
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: what's your alternative these guys? And it does seem like

139
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: the popularity of the Mega movement is less than we

140
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: thought during the mid terms, But we will see because

141
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: it's like it underperforms at the polls, like with actual

142
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: votes when it comes to anybody who's not Trump, but

143
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: then it overperforms when it's Trump. He always gets more

144
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: votes than anybody's expecting. So we have that to look

145
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: forward to. Rematch rematches are reallys fun sequels are always fun.

146
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,

147
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: and we're back, And a couple horrible pieces of news.

148
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: There's a Texas school district that has voted to place

149
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: armed civilians in schools.

150
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 2: Love it, Yeah, I mean it says they would be

151
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: school marshals, So think like, like you know, flight marshals. Yeah, yeah,

152
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 2: in essence, take the place of the hired off duty officers.

153
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: They will not wear uniforms, but they will carry a

154
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: concealed handgun and be a school district employee. According to

155
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: the school board documents review by The Chronicle. Yikes, Like

156
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: that almost feels worse because it's like, you, like, the

157
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: students and the staff, are they going to be no,

158
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: like notified who the marshal is. I think that's kind

159
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: of like the point of a fire marshals that like

160
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: you don't know who they are, but like they're not

161
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: a cop, so they're just like a civilian dressed like

162
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: a gun employee with a gun who could go row. Yeah.

163
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: Just always want to introduce a person with a gun

164
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: to your children's school day as much as possible.

165
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: Love it.

166
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: And then there's been like a battle taking place between

167
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: the college board and right wing activists, and the right

168
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: wing activists are getting their way. They are getting changes

169
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: made to the ap African American Studies course after critics

170
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: say the agency bowed to political pressure and removed several

171
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: topics from the framework, including the Black Lives Matter movement,

172
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: slavery reparations, and queer life. So but yeah, one of

173
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: the things that I think a lot of people have

174
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: fallen back on is like, well, it seems like young

175
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: people have socialist values and like gun control values, since

176
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: they had to like come up at a time of like,

177
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, now marshals in the school, like armed marshals

178
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: in the school, and like having a safe room in

179
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: your classroom, like seems like a good idea. So the

180
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: right is really seems to be laser focused on finding

181
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: ways to adjust that and churn out more right wing fascists.

182
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: It all seems like it's part of a plan of

183
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: like we gotta do some work on this generation, you know.

184
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 2: Yikes. Yeah, that's my views.

185
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, as we mentioned the past couple of days,

186
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: fired at Fox News, but apparently welcome on Russian TV.

187
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: This is something that yeah, I mean, he his show

188
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: was always just heavily featured on Russian TV State TV

189
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: because he's you know, constantly making America seem like the

190
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: worst place on earth, like in ways that tie in

191
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: nicely with Russian propaganda, and so RT the broadcast are

192
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: formerly known as Russia Today, which is banned in dozens

193
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: of countries because of its you know, it's just straight

194
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: up propaganda. But from their English language Twitter account, Monday tweeted, Hey,

195
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: at Tuger Carlson, you can always question more with at

196
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: RT underscore com. So makes sense guessing he's not going

197
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: to take that job. He'll probably find it like a

198
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: podcast on Joe Rogan's network or whatever from which to

199
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: fuck shit up. But I also, you know, in thinking

200
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: about who is going to replace him, I was like,

201
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: there's got to be like a shitty replacement that I'm

202
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: just not thinking of. And somebody was like, oh, Jesse Waters,

203
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: this is going to be the next Tuger Carlson, and

204
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, that guy's been just the worst

205
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: for many years and is young and a misogynist and

206
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: racist and smug and feels like he's definitely gonna get

207
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: the job, So we'll say The Cut released their New

208
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: York Girl issue, So the cut used to be New

209
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: York Magazine. Yeah, and that they're the ones who did

210
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: the etiquette rules where they started off with you don't

211
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: have to read every one of your friend's novels, so

212
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: like that just to give you an idea of like

213
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: who who they are and how down to earth they are.

214
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: So what is their analysis of like who New York's

215
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: it girl is? Or I guess they named one hundred

216
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: and fifty one women who captured the city's attention.

217
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: They named over I think a century, so since like

218
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: the nineteen twenties, all these different it girls of New

219
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: York and as I was kind of like perusing the story,

220
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: but I feel like they kind of purposely broke it

221
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: up into like a bunch of different articles to make

222
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: it a little bit confusing and maybe not highlight the

223
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: fact that there weren't a ton of women of color,

224
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: Like as I went through the main article, that was

225
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: like the highlights they kind of gave you, like only

226
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: from like the fifties to today in these kind of

227
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: grouped decades, like they're like fifties to seventies, you know,

228
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: seventies and nineties, nineties to early ATS, early ASA today

229
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: that was like one article and then they have another

230
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: article that starts from like the twenties, and another article

231
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: that starts like today. So it was a little all

232
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: over the place. But as I was skimming all of it,

233
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: I kind of was like, what I of the beholder,

234
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: is it to be a New York a girl? Which

235
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: is I guess the interrogation that the articles trying to

236
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: push of what does it mean to define a New

237
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: York City girl and what that definition has changed over

238
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: the years. And to me, it is a socialize obviously.

239
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: It is the Paris Hilton's of the world. It is

240
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: someone who has like a natural chrisma, who's very beautiful,

241
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: very vivacious moving through the world, has an aura about

242
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: them that just gets them in the door, and then

243
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: they become something just based on their look, but not

244
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: necessarily has to be a model or whatever. I did

245
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: notice there was, you know, the woman a color, the highlighted.

246
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: I feel like, we're like obvious, like very very famous women.

247
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Whereas I feel like I, as someone who enjoys and

248
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: digests a lot of pop culture, did not recognize a

249
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: lot of these white women. I was like, some of

250
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: them very obvious. They did highlight Paris Hilton. They highlighted

251
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: a couple other models that were very famous in the

252
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: sixties and seventies. They also highlighted like mcjagger's wife and

253
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: things like that. But I'm like, I feel like, why

254
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: is it like Grace Jones, who's obviously so incredibly famous

255
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: outside of being like a New York girl, and Patricia

256
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: Cleveland also very famous outside of being a New York

257
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: a girl, Like why aren't there more beautiful black and

258
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: brown women? And also I saw no brown women, like,

259
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: no Latinas, no other like ethnicities. It was like only

260
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: black girls or white girls. It was so crazy. I

261
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: was like dumbfound it because New York is such a

262
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: diverse place, and I just feel like they're talking about

263
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: a very specific scene that doesn't highlight the true culture.

264
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: I think that is Noeva York. So give me a read.

265
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued on your thoughts and your opinions on

266
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,239
Speaker 2: maybe the diversity or the lack of diversity. But yeah,

267
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: and I mean, all the women are beautiful. Congrats women,

268
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: You're beautiful.

269
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: It's like New York magazine, like hipster editors, like Miss

270
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: America pageant. It feels like for.

271
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: The Yeah, and like at the end when they did

272
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: this separate article about like then, what does it mean

273
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: to be an itck girl now? Because it is kind

274
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: of a word that's been thrown around TikTok like all

275
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: the time, like oh my god, like in your era,

276
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: trying to be an it girl in New York and

277
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: it's like just like more like fun and silly and

278
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: goofy nowadays, Whereas back then though, it was like what

279
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: does it mean to be like an icon? Like you're

280
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: at Studio fifty four, you are like in the scene,

281
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: you are being invited to these parties. It is. It

282
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: was way more elusive. I think back in the day,

283
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: to be like a true it girl was like being

284
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: a supermodel, you know what they considered like you know,

285
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: the Naomi Campbells of the world. But even in their

286
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: coverage of today's it girls, I felt like there weren't

287
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: that many. Like it was a little diverse, but not

288
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: as divers as I think it could be. And I

289
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: especially think women of color are the forefront of what

290
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: it means to be an IT girl in the city.

291
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: Like we drive fashion, we drive culture, we drive movements,

292
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of white women, especially today

293
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: with TikTok steal from black women's trends, so I just

294
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: thought more black and brown women could have been highlighted. Yeah,

295
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: that's my take.

296
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: Here you go. And finally, there's this video that's making

297
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: the rounds of this guy whose real name is Nicholas Alaverdian.

298
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: He faked his own death in America, moved to the UK,

299
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: adopted just the worst fake British accent, changed his name

300
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: to Nicholas Rossi, and like put a gas mask over

301
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: his face to like, I don't know if it was

302
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: like him trying to deal with the fact that he

303
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: has a bad English accent, but it's just an amazing

304
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: So he like went and did he did an interview

305
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: with news group that's like what do you say to

306
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: people who say you are clearly this guy and this

307
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: is all bullshit? And at one point he's like, if

308
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: I was that guy, would I be able to not

309
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: stand up? And he like tries to stand up and

310
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: then like falls backwards. It's like an amazing unintentional comedy performance.

311
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: If you've ever witnessed a four year old lying and

312
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: it just like kind of becomes amusing, that's what's happening.

313
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: And they're just like doubling tripling down too. Yeah, this

314
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: is that, but it's okay to laugh. At the end,

315
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: he sums it all up by saying that's a right

316
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: low blow.

317
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: Which.

318
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's dressed like a cartoon of an English person.

319
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: He's got a bow tie like.

320
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: A little like little round glass little yeah.

321
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, you know, community theater level. Okay, you

322
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: have to put together an outfit out of air, proper

323
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: room that make you British guy.

324
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 2: I cannot get over how he like falls into his

325
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: wife's arms and he's like Hellen, like he just he's

326
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: like so upset at the question that they're asking him

327
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: that he's just like Hellen. And then she's like all

328
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: right there, all right there. And it is I mean,

329
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: it is very funny. I mean, obviously he's being accused

330
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: of very serious cribs, but it is hard not to laugh.

331
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: Yeah at this man. Like you can tell he's not

332
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: using the mask like it's there, but there's no movement

333
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: of air happening like it's on.

334
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: But he's not inhaling any of it. But he is

335
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: like doing like a weird like quick breath thing to

336
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: make himself sound like he's hyperventilating, which is then like

337
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: steaming up his glasses. I think his wife is like

338
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: having a hard time believing him at the various.

339
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: Point best that she can to stand beside him.

340
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 1: But it's hard, yes, But like just the audacity of

341
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: his bullshit is truly, truly incredible, in a great metaphor

342
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: for America at this stage, so worth checking out. We'll

Speaker 1: link off to it in the footnotes. That is going
