69
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: song at karaoke there in the valley and he walked

70
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: out because he was upset. Oh wait what he was

71
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: at the karaoke bar Ireland two. It's a it's a

72
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: spot that's over there. I think, what is it like

73
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: Burbank or not Burbank, like Van Eyes or whatnot. I

74
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: was there, you know, Rob Van was it? Rob vand

75
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: weikel Vanilla Ice was there. He was in the back.

76
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: He's having a good time, folks are showing love. So

77
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: I figured, hey, look we're here, we're gonna go ahead

78
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: and do this. I signed up for it. The song

79
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: came on, he gets up and walks out because, like

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: I guess, he was offended by it, but whatever, because

81
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: you did I maybe, Yeah, it's like broke. I thought

82
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: it was respect that song. Have you ever made Loving

83
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: an Inner Tube? But Vanilla's off of to the extreme

84
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: is that a song? That's not the title, but he

85
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: talks about making loving an inner tube, which is like

86
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: the sort of thing that a middle school student which

87
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: I was at the time, or I think elementary actually

88
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: would like think was cool. Like yeah, anyway, had sex

89
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: would be like that. That sounds really like uncomfortable and difficult.

90
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: You got to come from tuban culture, not just Retuban,

91
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: but inner Tuban and embrace your inner Tuban while you're

92
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: inner Tuban, as Vanillie would. Yeah, all right, Barry, we're

93
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better. Oh first,

94
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: I do want to ask to what get hit us

95
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: with a detail from the back stories of what one

96
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: of the celebrities you've covered on the show, anything, anything

97
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: that surprised you honestly during the Michael Jordan's episode, and

98
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: and you know, for anybody that you know that does

99
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: take a chance and listen to it. I'll admit the

100
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: first couple of episodes we were still finding our footage,

101
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: but we you know, I feel like we've done that.

102
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: But during the Jordan episode, we had a really good,

103
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: good conversation surrounding kind of the coverage, you know, surrounding

104
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: you know that when he retired, with his father's death

105
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: and all of that. Even though yeah, I lived through

106
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it and I was, you know, I was old enough

107
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: to be aware, it was interesting to me. It's kind

108
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: of like, you know, like, I'm sure if you haven't

109
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: seen The Malice in the Palace, the Mauison the Palace

110
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: Documunery on Netflix, and yet I'm watching it this weekend,

111
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: strongly recommended. You know it. I remember all of the things.

112
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: I was there when those things were said. But sometimes

113
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: when you hear it, you know, from a thousand miles out,

114
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: it's like, oh wow, okay. So but in terms of like,

115
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, like crazy stuff about celebrities, none of it's

116
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: really going to shock you. You know, we've always kind

117
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: of known that, you know, right right what you're about. Recently,

118
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: why did why did I see this thing trending on?

119
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: Like NBA? Read it again? When they were talking when

120
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley was bringing up that anecdote about how like

121
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan has no empathy he for like the unhoused.

122
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: When he's like, don't give him that money. If he

123
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: could say can I get some change, he could say

124
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: welcome to McDonald's. Cannot take your order, and you're like,

125
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, Michael, I wouldn't expect anything fucking less.

126
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: But Jesus, you know, I don't know if he really

127
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: said it, but like you, like you just said, it

128
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me. It would not shock me. But he's

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: come around. That's he hasn't. That's when I'm like, now

130
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: since the pandemic, he's been so philanthropic. Like I'm really

131
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: curious to even hear from him, like if he sees

132
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: himself as having an evolution, because I'm you know, he knew,

133
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: he knows he was a fierce guy, and we saw

134
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: that he knows he has some level of stuff awaring this,

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: But I'm curious if he's like, yeah, you know, I've

136
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: I've learned to love more. He had. Honestly, he had

137
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: to do it because you know, while obviously he was

138
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: doing things throughout his career, we certainly didn't hear about it,

139
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: and he definitely was never going to you know, take

140
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: a stance, you know, not a public stance, you know,

141
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: especially that would be controversial. Over the last five years

142
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: or so, I feel like he's definitely moved towards him

143
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: at least at least showing that he's he's about the

144
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: right things. Yeah. I wonder if the last dance, you know,

145
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: because that was basically controlled by him, or at least he,

146
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, was the one who was like, Okay, you can,

147
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: we can make this now. I wonder if just you know,

148
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: seeing it through new eyes or see you know, having

149
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: other people see him and like that that whole you

150
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: know experience was was kind of gave gave him a

151
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: new perspective the detail I thought you were gonna say

152
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley talked about when he was like I hate

153
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: that fat fuck but like he's never gonna put up,

Speaker 1: which that was wild, Like that was like the next

156
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: level of pathology that like I I had not I

157
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: knew he was a competitor, like to a pathological degree.

158
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was like that, right. We we

159
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,040

160
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that arrist that he had, you know,

161
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: stemming from about probably ten years ago, you know, in Phoenix,

162
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: just outside of Phoenix. Vaguely, Chuck did, uh no, Charles Barkley,

164
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: I do remember that where he was like driving fast

165
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: and said he had to go somewhere to get a

166
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: blow job. I think, yeah, my man had like donuts

167
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: and the seat next to him and said, heyah, I

168
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: was just you know, like just going out to get

169
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: a blow job. But anyhow, there, yeah, that's Chuck, it's

170
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: going out for one. And you, of course did cover

174
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: it's not trying to get me caught up with Miles.

175
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: I kind of need to know. Honestly, we're both valley boys.

176
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,440

304
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: get with so and you know, and I say this

305
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: as someone I'll admit I got into Trader Joe's late.

306
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: In fact, I got into Trader Joe's late specifically because

307
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was Whole Foods because most of the

308
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: people that I saw going into out of there pretty

309
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: much looked like, you know, Whole Foods folks, just with

310
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: dirty or sandals. And then I and then I realized, hey, man,

311
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: I've been missing out, man. Trader Joe's is a haven

312
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: for you know, you know, for for people of my

313
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, desires, but just not with the college color

314
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: and cheap too. You know what, you should have known

315
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: those dirty or sandals men, because you saw the class

316
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: struggle right there. Yeah, growing up in the valley, you

317
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: don't know, you just don't know the dirty sands and

318
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: that might everybody they might be getting getting into the rings.

319
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, stopped going, and then I just recently started going.

320
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: Most at stopped going because in the pandemic it was

321
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: always a fucking line out there, everybody like standing outside

322
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: the building. Yet that was yeah, like in the rain

323
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: and ship. I'm like, I just want popsicles, like kind

324
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: of I'll going to Ralph's. I'm sorry, but we're back

325
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: now onion garlic pistachios from oh My almost ate the

326
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: whole fucking bag and I just like stop myself. Yeah, anyway,

327
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a problem. The flavored pistachio is want one

328
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: of the best snacks. Its salt in general, but all

329
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: pistachios they have salt and pepper, they have they have

330
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: like Chilean lime, they have all kinds of flip best.

331
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: You know, what do you do? You t J? I

332
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: see you. I watched my kids discover the joys of

333
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: like peeling pistachios and then like eating them and just

334
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: had had a whole new appreciation. It was like one

335
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: of those things where it's like they were like this,

336
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: we're like a crawfish. Yeah, they're they're gonna grow They're

337
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: gonna grow up. And see that they could have been

338
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: having them shell the whole time and call you a

339
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: broke boy. Yeah that's okay. Would you buy that though?

340
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: Because I was I was faced with that decision when

341
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: I was at the store, like do I buy a

342
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: just straight for the nut meat or do I do?

343
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: I like, am I about the process? Okay? And I

344
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: was like the process and immediately I was like, no, man,

345
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: the whole point is to fucking rip them open and

346
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: ship and throw them in a bullet. Yeah. Anyway, naked

347
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: gun joke where they got the statio shells outside of

348
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: the steak out? Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?

349
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: All right? So I planned to go with something like

350
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: really mature sounding this time, and you know, like actively,

351
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, being kind to others, you know, especially given

352
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: the time with circumstances, but you know, and offering compassion

353
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: and kindness to folks in need. Those are those are

354
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: things that we should be doing. But I honestly, I

355
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: decided that your listeners and listeners to a show like this,

356
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: they already know those things, and honestly, I don't need

357
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: to beat them over the head with their reality. So

358
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a quick moment to do a

359
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: bootleg and a Josier streaming corner. Uh, please for give

360
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: you for this one, and I'm gonna defend a show

361
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: and even mention another one. Ozar, here we go. I

362
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: promise you I don't want beef with Francesca fiorent teeny

363
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: uh and plea, I hope I said that right, wonderful guests.

364
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't want any beasts, but I'm gonna tell you

365
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: right now, Yes, it's the Midwest version of breaking bad,

366
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: and I'm not you know, there's no way around it.

367
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: You know. Sure, it's a bit repetitive in the same

368
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: way as it shows, you know that nature tend to

369
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: be with you know, con but forced drama and continue

370
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: family trauma, you know, at least from that perspective. But

371
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: it's unique enough in the way they break things downs down.

372
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Excuse me, especially in seasons one and two. Yeah, I

373
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: just feel obligated to defend those of us that are,

374
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, still still actively watching just about anything and everything,

375
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: because I'm honestly, Miles, you were saying this all throughout

376
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and I recognize there are some people that

377
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: are no longer living in one, even though we are

378
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: still in one. For me, I'm watching everything, so honestly, Ozark,

379
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: it's not the end of it. You're in the airplane.

380
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: Everything is the air everything watching, watching to completion. For example,

381
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: I'm currently watching wo Assassin's on Netflix. You know, it's

382
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: absolutely not my usual genreal shows. You know, it's acting

383
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: adventure with pretty inexplicab inexplicably bad graphics at times. But

384
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: here we are. You know, chances are if you can

385
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: string together to consecutive decsent episodes, I'm going to give

386
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: it a shot. Okay, wait, so what because I'm my

387
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: thing with those are I couldn't get probably the third

388
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: episode in. It just wasn't doing it for me. So

389
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: I stopped three episodes in. Because this is the same

390
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: thing that people said with Mad Men's like you gotta

391
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: get through like the first five the first and I'm like,

392
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to get through. But and this might

393
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: be another thing too, where I'm willing to just for

394
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: me personally. I don't know. Maybe it's not the same show,

395
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: but I'm not trying to say unequivocally it's uh, it's trash.

396
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: It's not the same show. But I but again I

397
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: I do, I do recognize that criticism. I would say

398
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: this anything that anyone tells me generally, you know, like, oh,

399
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: you just have to get through it. I'm I'm usually

400
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: one of those people. It's like, well and it probably sucks,

401
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: but you know, for this one, they do a decent

402
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: enough job. And again you see those one and too

403
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: they do a decent enough job in making the characters

404
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: somewhat redeemable to where you actually buy into him, to

405
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: where there is that you know, there is that buy in.

406
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: But you know, like for for like you, I know,

407
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: there's folks that simply they'll they're never gonna like, oh

408
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: my goodness, the main character, um, Jason Bing's there's certain

409
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: people that are just never gonna like him. And I

410
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: recognize that. So if he's not, I like him. That's

411
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: the reason I even gave it a shot because I

412
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: loved the arrested development and I'm just like, yeah, I'm

413
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: willing to go on this journey with Jason as he

414
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: figures out his acting. I would say, you know what,

415
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: I am a little bit biased. You know, Kevin L.

416
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: Johnson an actor, He's been a bunch of stuff. He

417
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, I've interviewed him a couple of times on

418
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: different shows that I've done. You know, he's he plays

419
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: a character on the show. You know, so I'm always gonna,

420
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, kind of want positive things for it, but yeah,

421
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: I genuinely enjoy it. All right. Well that's that is

422
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: the sort of thing we need to hear and are underrated,

423
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, get let let people really feel okay about

424
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: something that other people have been because I I feel

425
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: like I have not heard a positive take on oz

426
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Ark in a long time, So that's that's great to hear.

427
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: I might, I might just give it a chance. It's

428
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: also because season three they just kind of went off

429
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: the deep end and and I'll openly admit their characterization

430
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: of what bipolar disorder looks like it's really offensive to

431
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: those of us that suffer from bipolar disorder. So so

432
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: if people have that complaint, I want to understand it,

433
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: because that's that's legitimate. Yeah, alright, let's take a quick

434
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. And we're back and

435
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: we're just gonna do like a general check in with

436
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: the State of America. But before we do, we were

437
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: realizing before we started recording Jabari, that the last time

438
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: you were on was January five. It's been kind of

439
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: an uneventful eight months since. Uh no that so the

440
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: day before the insurrection you you were on here last.

441
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: So I'm just warning people, you know, watch out for

442
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow Tuesday. We'll see what happens. Don't sleep on the

443
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: influence of nice exactly grow with the gravitational pull of Jupiter.

444
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. But Myles, you were

445
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: kind of, uh, you put together some thoughts on just

446
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: sort of this idea of America's practice of selective empathy. Yeah,

447
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, like just like last time

448
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: with the media not talking about Afghanistan in one way,

449
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: Like now I look at, you know, with the conversation

450
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: talking about resettling Afghan refugees. I was just you know,

451
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: seeing how the momentum was moving very swiftly, you know,

452
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: because there's by eighty eight thousand Afghans that assisted, you know,

453
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: occupying American and Allied forces during the Forever War. And

454
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: now the US is like obviously scrambling to relocate these

455
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: people to fulfill a moral obligation um since you know,

456
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: like leaving them and their family members behind in the

457
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: places like Taliban is like trying to have retaliatory attacks

458
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: against these people just is what it should be done

459
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: on a minimum level, if not more people. And then

460
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: you look at the polling, right, Americans are pretty much

461
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: on the same page like Democrats. Sevent of Republicans are

462
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: saying like yeah, we like we're I'm open to I

463
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to resettling these people in America and

464
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: understand like that the narrative is they helped the the army,

465
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: so they should just like that's their ticket to the

466
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: United States. And another story I read about these South

467
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: Florida Republicans who were very enthusiastic about welcoming these people,

468
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't have in the opposition to

469
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: the fact that they're open that they feel, you know,

470
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: aligned with this sentiment. But it just says like a

471
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: lot right because like at a minimum, it acknowledges that

472
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: these people put themselves and their loved ones in harm's

473
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: way to help the United States military, and they understand

474
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: like the reciprocal nature of this transaction, Like that's okay,

475
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: we get it, y'all all could have got fucked up

476
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: helping the US. Are are are you know, brave men

477
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: and women out there? So this this you know, equates

478
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: to a ticket back. But like this other way to

479
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: sort of underlines this fucked up way in which Americans

480
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: choose to have empathy for displaced people, Like if you

481
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: are working in service of the American war machine, then

482
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer that you know, like oh man

483
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: like you, because then it's like you were one of

484
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: the good ones, you know what I mean, Like we

485
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: came funked up your country, you still helped out. You

486
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: know what, That's worth a ticket back here. We thank you,

487
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. And then you know, and then

488
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: even though like normally the narrative around Afghan refugees, like

489
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: on Fox has basically been and terribly islamophobic and xenophobic

490
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: and you know, ethno nationalist, but seventies six percent of

491
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Republicans feel that it is our duty as Americans to

492
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: take these people in. And I'm just like, what the funk?

493
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: What does this say about every other situation that we're

494
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: involved in that intersects with the United States foreign policy

495
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: and displacement of people and even domestic policy and displacement

496
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: of people that where does It's just it's it's a

497
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: it's amazing to see how people can just selectively be like, yep,

498
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: those people deserve empathy. Those people at the border not

499
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: so much. I mean, granted that you can draw straight

500
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: lines from American foreign policy and intervention in Latin America

501
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: to why we have this immigration problem. And on the

502
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: same level, if it's like, well, these people are displaced

503
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: because you get cheap fruit for the for fucking dole

504
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: or whatever that there's no there's no empathy, there's no

505
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: understanding of what the root causes are, and it's just

506
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I'm just sitting there thinking, right,

507
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: And here's another example of all that. Right, It's where

508
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's because the cheap fruit is like,

509
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's implicating the consumer, you know it is.

510
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: It kind of gets it this undercurrent where it's like, yeah,

511
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: all of this is being done to just feed the

512
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: kind of massive consuming machine that America has instead of

513
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: a soul, and we don't want to acknowledge that, right,

514
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: And if you go just slightly broader, right, the fruit

515
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: is like one dimension because the whole point of fighting

516
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: all these like all the intervention in Latin America was

517
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: the way the US was fighting the Cold War kind

518
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: of whole thing was like, do not do not like

519
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: communism root on the continent, and we'll do whatever the

520
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: funk we have to do by hook or by crook

521
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: to figure out how to stop that momentum. So on

522
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: some level, you could argue that this was happening to

523
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: protect America's freedom, right, like that that rhetoric is sort

524
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: of that like our logic was being applied. Yet again

525
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: we look at displaced people from there and go, oh,

526
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: that's that's your problem, that's problem. Well, I mean really

527
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: the it has always felt like the cut off and

528
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: it's it's very clear at this stage, especially over these

529
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: last couple of years, to cut off is like do

530
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: we feel like these people have you have value to us?

531
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: Do we? And I'm not saying the three of us.

532
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like you know, you know, those of

533
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: us that actually have natural empathy, but I'm saying you'll,

534
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, the general public. Oftentimes it seems like if

535
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: they if we don't feel like, you know, there there's

536
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: value monetary actual value to you, then it doesn't matter.

537
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: And and and then and that's and that's more telling

538
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: about you know, about society because you know, and and

539
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: it's actually it's not just how we look at you know,

540
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: at you know, you know, people in foreign land, just

541
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: how we look at people in America. If you are poor,

542
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: you aren't you you're don't you ain't ship you know,

543
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: like if you if you're not out here working, if

544
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: you're not out there contributing to this, you know, to

545
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: this system, then you you know, you're not worth our time.

546
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's and and like and I get there too.

547
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: You know, a big differences with Afghanistan and you know,

548
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: everything that happened at nine eleven, there was just you know, NonStop,

549
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: it was a prime time TV onflict for for a

550
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: certain point, and so people and there is countless TV shows,

551
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, and and films that were like talking about

552
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: like what's happening over in the Middle East and things

553
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: like that post nine eleven that that was a thing

554
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: that people had just like this sort of concept of

555
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: but there isn't much talking about American intervention in other

556
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: places and things like that and this. But but then

557
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well maybe it's a historical thing, right,

558
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: like because people know what what's going on in Afghanistan,

559
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: and like they're like, okay, well that I understand why

560
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: we need to extend empathy there, even though truly it's

561
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: not even it's only being extended to eight thousand people

562
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: among millions in the region. But it's the same thing

563
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: with like Black Americans. We fucking built this country, right,

564
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: and the land was stolen from indigenous people. Yet these

565
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: groups are still like I don't know what the funk

566
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: y'all problem is, right, what is your what is going on?

567
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 1: And and so it's just it's just really it's like

568
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: sickening to watch how certain issues that deal with things

569
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: that are happening within the country and are so clear

570
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: of like why we need to correct things, you know,

571
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: but there's just not the energy for that yet. For

572
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: these things there's like a lot of there's just a

573
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: lot of media momentum, and Americans can selectively say like, right,

574
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: I I totally understand why we need to our obligation

575
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: to resettle these these refugees. Yet we still are unable

576
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: to look at all these myriad of ways that we're

577
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: connected to other struggles and problems within the country and

578
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: outside and still not be compelled because it's easy to

579
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: turn a blind eye and you and you know, the

580
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: next thing will come up and we'll all obsess about

581
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: that after they have to, you know, honestly, y'all know,

582
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: like I appreciate shows like this, I appreciate ethnically ambiguous

583
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: and you know, like those wonderful ladies and and and

584
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: both Andy and Swering, you know, for pointing stuff like

585
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: this out whether it's on you know, whether it's on

586
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: the shows, whether it's on you know, you know, whether

587
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: it's on the timeline. And actually, you know, through conversations

588
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: with Anna in particular, you know, like she was the

589
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: one who pointed out, like you know, we we as

590
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: a country, we we definitely pick and choose, We definitely

591
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: pick and choose what's going to matter. Who was going

592
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: to matter? You know how much it's you know, it's

593
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: going to matter. And we really can't do that, you know,

594
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's what I say, we really can't

595
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: do that. Yes we can, but we obviously really shouldn't

596
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: because look at where we're at, right, Yeah, it's yeah,

597
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: and this whole thing is just about preserving like like

598
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: you say, we were selective about where we choose to

599
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: understand what's at stake or what the consequences were for

600
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: other people based on certain policies, and and like then

601
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: the second we try to inform people right of like history,

602
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: we see what happens, it's just met with rage and

603
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: violence because it's you know, the the whole the ignorance

604
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: is meant to intended to sort of preserve this American

605
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: sense of moral purity and with Afghanistan, I think it

606
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: gives people a really easy thing to be like, Yep,

607
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: there was a war there. These people are basically they

608
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: fought on this team, so they get to come on

609
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: back on the bus back to of the locker room

610
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: after the game kind of mentality. But the second it

611
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: begot begins to really sort of intersect with something a

612
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: little more like closer to home or something that you

613
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: may actually have to think about deeper than just really

614
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: this like very clean sort of logic path, then it

615
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: becomes chaotic and things like that, and it's yeah, it's

616
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: just it's fucked up because there's countless ways that people

617
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: are being left behind, whether it's in the Middle East,

618
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: in South Asia wherever. But we you know, we we

619
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: we chug along on this path and like we only

620
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: see things get worse. I'm just kind of thinking, like

621
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: what does it take, you know, because if it's not

622
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: about connecting people to the history to understand sort of

623
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: like the US is placed in that, what like what

624
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: will do it? Yeah, there's Americans seem particularly bad at

625
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: feeling empathy towards poor people in our own country because

626
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: I think they're you know, we I talk on to

627
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: hear a lot about like just work the like psychological

628
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: work that needs to be done too, for like kind

629
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: of the passive white supremacists in the country to just

630
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: like go about their daily lives and like kind of

631
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: pushed down whatever that that reality is, whatever realities are

632
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: hitting them, like whether it's somebody living on the street

633
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: or you know, the videos of police shooting innocent people

634
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: of color. Like, there's just so much work that's having

635
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: to be done for them to like block that out.

636
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,239
Speaker 1: And so by letting in empathy for anybody in the

637
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: country already, you're almost having to admit like that that

638
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: whole thing is on shaky foundation, Whereas I feel like

639
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War, the media and

640
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: the American people were able to like kind of think

641
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: of it as a thing that was separate from them,

642
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: and so that's enabling them. And then you know, the

643
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: specifics of the really shocking and horrifying footage from the airport,

644
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: especially in those early days, I think like probably just

645
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: crystallized things in the kind of American consciousness, which is

646
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: wild though too, because there's so many people that are

647
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: destitute here and and yeah, like it's just this it's

648
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: like we just want to put our eyes on the

649
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: thing that feels like it can be solved in that

650
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: one thing, Oh, the Afghanistan thing can be solved if

651
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: we get enough people on planes, and then it's over

652
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: and off to think about it and it's done. I

653
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: look at you know, you look at things that happened

654
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: on the streets of any city, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York,

655
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: l A. Wherever there's there's real problems, and it's much easier,

656
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: I guess, to go down that path to think of

657
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: how we can solve that is just too much of

658
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: a task for some people to engage in mentally, when

659
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: most of it really is just about being like no

660
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: one's asking you to solve it, but like fun, man,

661
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: the same feeling for for that if you if your

662
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: heart's broken seeing people who are clinging to you know,

663
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: trying to escape their country to get here, and you

664
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: can somewhat understand like, oh yeah, I get that. Just

665
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: just open your heart a little bit, you know what

666
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: I mean to be able to have that sort of

667
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: same level of compassion for more people. But I don't know,

668
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: that's just that's me being like, what's what's wrong with us?

669
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: But it also feels like all of this is you know,

670
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: very very specifically by designing, like, for instance, there's a

671
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: reason why we didn't ever see the footage of you know,

672
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: like what was going on in Afghanistan. There's a reason

673
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: why we didn't see the Body Council's reason why they

674
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: didn't even keep tracking a lot of you know, in

675
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: a lot of situations, there's a really like it and

676
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: the same thing goes where you know, you know, domestically,

677
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: individuals are no longer seen as individuals if we just

678
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: call them gangs or we say that it's gang violence,

679
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: instead of saying like, these are people, these are Americans

680
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: that are you know, they're suffering, that are in terrible situations,

681
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: that are you know, innocent, you know, you know, beyond

682
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: beliefs at at at In a lot of a lot

683
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: of situations, it's easy to just ignore. It's easy to do.

684
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: You're like, you to look past people like it's the

685
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: same it's the same thing. You pull up, you put

686
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: like let's say you're getting off the freeway, you're getting

687
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: off the four or five, there's a dude sitting there

688
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: right at you know, right there, waiting for money. It's

689
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: really you folks will roll that window of turn and

690
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: beat up and look forward. That's what we've always done. Yeah,

691
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: and I just yeah, and I know like on some level,

692
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: like you know, it's it's a feeling of shame or

693
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: powerlessness like someone you know, depending on how you you

694
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: process it. At times, like for me, it's like a

695
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: feeling of shame like funck man, Like I can't like this.

696
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: I feel so helpless that there's this person was my age,

697
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: who is We're probably coming from very similar circumstances, and

698
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: this is how things shake up because this is how

699
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: things are you know, sort of designed in the country. Yeah,

700
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: it's just and I think it's it can be overwhelming

701
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: for a lot of people on some level too, But

702
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: it's just like this sort of very it's it's like

703
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: one of the many superpowers that Americans and American media

704
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: have created to sort of keep the status quo going

705
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: in this direction, which is one that doesn't really care

706
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: for people that are marginalized or in need of help.

707
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: Just focus on like focus on the people who who

708
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: got it right. So just kind of in a related story,

709
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of more specifically, the way the Supreme Court interacts

710
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: with this the Supreme Court last week made to like

711
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: what what are being called shadow docket decisions. I guess

712
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: this is when the president kind of forces an issue

713
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: onto their desk that's like this needs immediate attention. When

714
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: the Trump administration was doing that, they were siding with

715
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: the Trump administration a lot more. It's basically a decision

716
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: where they don't have to like write out full decisions,

717
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: they just like make a decision on it. And like

718
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: in one of the cases here, it was a two

719
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: paragraph decision. So these were the first ones that Biden

720
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of pushed through to their desk and the Biden administration,

721
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: and in both cases the Supreme Court ruled to basically

722
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: side with the Trump administration. Biden was trying to reverse

723
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: a Trump policy that was forcing people to stay in

724
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: Mexico if they had asylum claims at the border, and

725
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, using pure technicalities, the six

726
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: conservatives on the Supreme Court basically made the decision that

727
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: the conservatives of the country would want to, which is,

728
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: you know, just have no empathy for them, keep them

729
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: in Mexico not our problem. Again, like there, I think

730
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: there's that's nu that's like not that wasn't even the policy. Yeah, no,

731
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: they've moved the Yeah, they've moved the field goals, like

732
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: back for the goal posts. Goal posts is the word

733
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: that I was looking for. I think there's a when

734
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: we talked about the Supreme Court, especially in the mainstream media,

735
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: I feel like there is this sense that they are

736
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: are like these theoreticians who are like operating in a

737
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: void and like it's just we're just sitting back to

738
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: like wait to see what these like legal supercomputers decide

739
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: is the most just thing. But as as we've talked about,

740
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: like you know, intelligence gives you like really highly intelligent

741
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: people have the ability to make a strong argument for

742
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: whatever the funk they want to believe. That's why highly

743
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: intelligent people are more likely to be in cult and

744
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: that's why this whole idea of the Supreme Court, like

745
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court could come up with a seemingly logically

746
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: coherent case for anything they wanted to literally anything, using

747
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: like previous precedent because there like the world's best at

748
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: arguing for ship, like that's what that's what they do.

749
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: So I like this is a political vehicle, which is

750
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: why m the other shadow docket case that they ended

751
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: the eviction moratorium that Biden was trying to extend. As

752
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: we've talked about, that is a horrifying example of just

753
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: America's ability to not feel empathy for the people around them.

754
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: Right well, the Constitution, I don't know if I don't

755
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: know if the founding fathers were thinking about this. So

756
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll sigh with the landlords on this one.

757
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: And now, you know, luckily a lot of states have

758
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: their own moratoriums and things like that. But this is

759
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: still putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk of eviction.

760
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: And we're already seeing and it's already happening because people

761
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: are doing in other ways that aren't your traditional ways

762
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: of evictim It might be like, oh it's time to

763
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: renew your lease, they're not going to renew it, this,

764
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: that and the other, And that's how they're getting to

765
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: be able to out people and then hike the rates

766
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: up and then bring in other people who are to

767
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 1: make I guess, making just enough more to justify their

768
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, exorbitant rent increases in things. Not to be

769
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: like impressing, but like basically what I would I've gotten

770
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: out of this conversation thus far as like, yeah, we

771
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 1: just don't care. As Americans, you know, we don't care

772
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, we we do not care about employees, We

773
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: do not care about your workers rights. We don't care

774
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: about you know, so if someone if someone ends up

775
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: being out on the street, we don't care about you know,

776
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: the unhoused. It's just a kind of across the board.

777
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. And it's true of many

778
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: other countries, but and and here it's like it's like

779
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: it done to this degree that is so aggressive and

780
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: like in your face that it's it's really hard to

781
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: wrap your head around. And I think the sooner people

782
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: can understand like that that's actually kind of like the

783
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: tone of how this country works. It helps you to

784
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: sort of redouble your efforts to realize, Okay, I need

785
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: to actually be on the side of people like I

786
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: don't know why the funk I'm caping for fucking Nancy Pelosi,

787
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: Like these people are gonna do ship for us. Like

788
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: that's why you look more and you see, like in

789
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: your neighborhoods, people put out, you know, like unperishable food

790
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: items on the corner just to help support you. Look,

791
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: if you know it's free food right here, if you're hungry, like,

792
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: come through, dig in here, there's there's there's shipped to eat.

793
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: That's really how you can sort of lift people up

794
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: because waiting, you know, for the Supreme Court or Joe

795
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: Biden to do the right thing, it's just gonna lead

796
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: to more fucking chaos. And I think that's the thing,

797
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: like when tor was on talking about dual power and

798
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: ideas like that, is that Americans really need to begin

799
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: to embrace that that most Americans do have empathy. Most

800
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: Americans like your neighbors, you're like, damn man like, but

801
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: they're fucking cool. Like day I didn't really talk to him,

802
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: but something happened and like we got together and we

803
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: we sorted something out that was great to have community.

804
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: You see it, and you saw it in Texas when

805
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: the power ran out. A lot of Texans were having

806
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: to lean on each other to get through it because

807
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: the fucking damn sure the utility companies weren't going to

808
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: help and make things you know, quick and expedient for

809
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,479
Speaker 1: their recovery. So on that level, like we know those

810
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: pieces are there, but it's like it's like embracing this

811
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: idea too, that there are ways that we can collectively

812
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: take care of each other and protect each other in

813
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: a way that is beneficial to everyone. And we're not

814
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: waiting on the decisions of a bureaucracy that's being run

815
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: by people that are grandparents age who we look at

816
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: our own damn grammars like, oh, I don't know ship, yeah,

817
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: but they're running. But these same that their classmates are

818
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: running the country basically, and we're like wondering, like I

819
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: wonder why nothing's working because we have it's and and

820
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: because that that mentality that like, hey, everything's okay, nothing's wrong.

821
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: That may have worked when there were greater tax revenues

822
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: to help people, but we're in a different era now

823
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: and that kind of thinking is just so regressive and

824
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: it's violent. So it's like it's like getting people really

825
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: motivated enough to see like, yeah, you can, you can

826
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: see this place for what it is, not get totally

827
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: black pilled, but then pivot to, well, what's the solution.

828
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: The solution is finding like having policies that are more humane,

829
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: like and on some level, the first thing should be

830
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: like it's a pandemic, well, no one should go hungry

831
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: and no one should be kicked out on the street

832
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 1: because it's a pandemic. But here we're arguing courts like, well,

833
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: the CDC doesn't have the lord legal authority. Well, what

834
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: the funk are we talking about. We're talking about people

835
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: on the street, but we're not We're not having a

836
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: conversation like in those terms. And that's the kind like,

837
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: that's where we need to re center a lot of things.

838
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: But that's the process of I think of waiting for

839
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: these kind of generational shifts and our political culture. I mean,

840
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court like way of dual power needs to

841
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: be the answer, because the Supreme Court is like purely

842
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: an ideological tool and it's going to be doing things

843
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: in the background for generations to come that hurt Americans

844
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: and you know, keep it out of step with the

845
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: will of the people, assuming nothing changes, and they don't

846
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: fucking kill the filibuster and pack the court like they

847
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: absolutely should. But one very frustrating development is that Stephen Bryer,

848
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: one of the older members of the Court, one of

849
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: the three left leaning justice says is choosing to be

850
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: loyal to that like understanding of the Court as like

851
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: a impartial, living embodiment of the scales of justice statue

852
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: and is not retiring because he claims that all the

853
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: justices he said acting good faith and in his career

854
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: that you're old. You're old. You're fucking old, and you're

855
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: not seeing I don't mean to be agist or anything

856
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: like that, but like, you're not looking at the country

857
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: at the same lens that the millions of people who

858
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: are going to be living on this planet and this

859
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: country are looking at it too, And it's like this,

860
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: They're like, we're holding onto these romantic ideas of a

861
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: time that we're also really fucked up for most other people. Yum,

862
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, anyway, So I'm sorry that I don't

863
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: mean to get upset and Justice Brier or the are

864
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: do like fucking hurry the funk up, get out of

865
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: there so to prevent further catastrophe. He's like, I don't

866
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: want to die while having this job. So he definitely like,

867
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I also read that. I don't know, maybe

868
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: there's a chance that he'll he'll figure it out or

869
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: people sho start screaming at him. Can I say the

870
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: quiet part, like we don't need another situation like we

871
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: have with RBG. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's really what it

872
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: is like, bro. If you're feeling it, get on out. Yeah,

873
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: that's well, which is why, yeah, we need massive change

874
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: here too, because if all of these like decisions that

875
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: impact millions of people and whether or not they have

876
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: a home fall to a group of fucking blue plate

877
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: dinner special motherfucker's who are like, oh, well, let's see,

878
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: I'm clearly a plant for America's corporatocracy. And you know,

879
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: like what, that's not a way to adjudicate anything. And

880
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: we're only gonna go careening fucking even harder into a

881
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: wall without like really asking ourselves these questions. Do we

882
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: need lifetime appointments, we need limitations on these terms, we

883
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: need or more justices, whatever it is. But it ain't

884
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: working like this with the three six mafia, three liberals

885
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: and six conservatives. It ain't happen. The fourth most liberal

886
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: member of the Supreme Court, Justice John Roberts Crofton on

887
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: the Live Show, pointed out that he was part of

888
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: like the basically the year two thousand version of the

889
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: January six insurrection, but it actually worked where they stormed

890
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: where they were recounting votes in Florida, and he he

891
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: was part of what's called the Brooks Brothers Riot, which

892
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: you should look up a few. So that's who we're

893
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: at a at a place where we're like, well, that's

894
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: the best we can do other than the three liberal justices.

895
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: So it's a real disaster, and hopefully, you know, somebody

896
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: comes up with a thing to do up on that level,

897
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: up on high but five. Yeah, I think to your point,

898
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: just finding ways to get involved at locally is really

899
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: kind of the only thing to do. All right, let's

900
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: take another quick break and we'll come back and talk

901
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: about McDonald's ice cream. And we're back, and yeah, when

902
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: you're craving ice cream and you already happened to be

903
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: inside of the McDonald's, nothing beats McDonald's ice cream. It's

904
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: the best for when you are physically within six foot

905
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: radius of one of their machines. But the ice cream

906
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: machine has like that there's a problem with the me.

907
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: It's all. Yeah, it's almost always broken. They it's so

908
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: widespread that it last year. As of last year, there

909
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: was an app called Mick Broken that displays which locations

910
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: have working ice cream machines, and so people were like

911
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what why this is happening. McDonald's

912
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: even started like doing self deprecating tweets. They were like,

913
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: we have a joke about our soft served machine, but

914
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: we're worried it won't work. Oh boy, it won't work, right, thanks, thanks,

915
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: So it won't work, huh? All right, come on in

916
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: So anyways, just a look at the sort of corporate

917
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: glut that is the American economy. These are eighteen thousand

918
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: dollar ice cream machines. They're made by a company called Tailor,

919
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: and basically they are designed to be impossible for McDonald's

920
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: employees to fix if they if they have any problem

921
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: the menu options that you need to be able to

922
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: just like figure out what the fund is going on

923
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: with the thing, just even get to the menu. Just

924
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: to get to the menu, you need no fewer than

925
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: sixteen button presses. Not even the owner's manual provides the

926
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: code that you need to get like through those sixteen

927
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: button presses. It can't be accessed by McDonald's workers, only

928
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 1: Tailor employees. So it's like this is Tailor's way of

929
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: like insulating themselves so that they always are needed by McDonald's.

930
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: And yes, it's like it's like like low energy, non

931
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: violent mobsters, whereas like I hate for your ice cream machine.

932
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: To break. That's why you should call us up and

933
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: get the protection package. Every week, press the cone icon

934
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: on the screen of the tailor C six oh two

935
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: digital ized cream machine, then tap the buttons that show

936
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: a snowflake and a milkshake to set the digits on

937
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: the screen to five, then two, then three, then one.

938
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: After the precise series of no fewer than sixteen button presses,

939
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: the menu magically unlocked. Only with this cheap code can

940
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: you access the machines vital signs. So yeah, do you

941
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: guys remember when McDonald's used to aggressively advertise to what

942
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: I guess they considered was the urban black community where

943
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: you'd be like hip hop songs and you know, people

944
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: dancing with nuggets and like you know, like and literally

945
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: dancing and and and break dancing and whatnot. There's only

946
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: one way to solve this, And to be honest with you,

947
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm kind of disappointed in all of

948
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: us that have driven up to a McDonald's late at night,

949
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: really just needing to you know, really needing too of

950
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: those sundays. I'm disappointed that we haven't thought of it.

951
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: The only way to fix this is if if we

952
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,919
Speaker 1: start marketing to the Karen crowd, because the Karen crowd

953
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: will take care of this ship. Like I'll tell you

954
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: right now, if if they roll up to that McDonald's

955
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: two consecutive times and it's not working, Taylor Taylor McDonald's, whoever,

956
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: someone's gonna get on top of this. Oh you say

957
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: there's low doses of iver mectin at McDonald's and they're like,

958
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: I need them now, and they're like, sorry, miss, it's

959
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: not working. And the next thing you know, they're uploaded

960
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: in a viral TikTok video them crying in their front

961
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: seat with just like fucking captains going like, dude, due,

962
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: I will be brave and get this mcflury machine fixed. Yeah.

963
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: I like that. That's that's good energy. We could we

964
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: could spread the rumor that people are not serving them

965
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: on purpose because their Karen's like that it's a meme

966
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,959
Speaker 1: and like that would really piste off and like cause

967
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: them to get to the bottom of that stuff feel like, yeah,

968
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: well this just the whole thing is just so funny too,

969
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: because like it's all like even though it's one of

970
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: the things that a lot of people desire most, you

971
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: you'd figure at some point McDonald's be like, hey, we're

972
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: fucking losing money when these machines are working, and still

973
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: they're caught in this relationship with Taylor where it's like, Okay,

974
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 1: I guess every store has thousands of dollars in repair

975
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: bills because only Taylor can come and fix the fucking thing. Yeah,

976
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: so this is like part of it. This is a

977
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: larger like issue throughout American business. Yeah, they just passed

978
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 1: like a or I think Biden is trying to get

979
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: through a thing that's a right to repair the thing.

980
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: That's just like you should be able to fix your

981
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: own stuff that you buy, and there shouldn't be like

982
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: forced obsolescence and forced like technical problems that you can't

983
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 1: fix so that you need to buy a new one

984
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: or pay them. Which I'm surprised because it's this like

985
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: the lack of the right to repair that keeps the

986
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: consumer machine humming and just people just tossing ship constantly.

987
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, man, the volume button doesn't work on

988
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: my TV. How't you go? I have a TV right now,

989
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: it just doesn't turn on. And I'm like debating. I'm like, fun, funk, man,

990
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 1: this ship costs money, Like yeah, and even though I'm like, damn,

991
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: g TVs are cheap, part of me is like I

992
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: just know someone can come in here, open it up,

993
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, yeah, there's your problem. Think, and

994
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: then it's like a quick fix. But I and I

995
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 1: also find myself in that same pattern of like, oh

996
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: she doesn't work. Time to trash it and get a

997
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: new one. Yeah. So basically Taylor charges franchises thousands of

998
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: dollars a year for maintenance contracts to like cope with this.

999
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: Two people like create their own like basically game genie

1000
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: for this fucking ice cream machine, a gadget the size

1001
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: of a small paperback book called Kitch k y t

1002
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: c H that hacks the machine and allows McDonald's employees

1003
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: to access it. Then Taylor hired a private detective to

1004
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: dig up It's like all this betrayal and like espionage.

1005
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: And because like one of the people who is the

1006
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: head of equipment team for the National Supply Leadership Council

1007
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 1: sued them. There's now a tailor Kitch lawsuit, which has

1008
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Taylor Kitch the actor, But they

1009
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: actually won a victory for like right to repair ship.

1010
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: Just kind of cool because they completely misrepresented themselves. They

1011
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,959
Speaker 1: were doing this ship where they would go like that.

1012
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: They would be like, oh, I'm just a franchise e owner.

1013
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: But there's a difference between a McDonald's own franchise and

1014
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: just like an independently owned McDonald's. And what they were

1015
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: doing was like they were pretending like, oh, yeah, I

1016
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: want to get one from my from my you know,

1017
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: from my restaurant, and then like trying to hack the

1018
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 1: ship and do all this other stuff and numerous people

1019
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: misrepresenting themselves to Kitch to try and get their hands

1020
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: on these devices and ship, and it just shows you, like,

1021
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: what is the fucking like more than that, why aren't

1022
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: they addressing their issue with Taylor, like, don't come for

1023
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: a kitch who was just trying to make the ice

1024
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: cream flow because it's funny and now and now I

1025
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: guess I want to go to my McDonald's and be like, yo,

1026
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: y'all have one of those fucking kitchen things long because

1027
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: you always have fucking ice cream like the other one.

1028
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: I used to go to North Hollywood fucking never. I

1029
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: remember the fucking the week mc flurries came out, this

1030
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: ship was a wrap like it's just like, bro, they're

1031
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: like it's almost like they just like blacked out the men,

1032
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: you like, don't even ask about that ship. Yeah yeah, yeah.

1033
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: So last month, but signed an executive order called on

1034
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: the which called on the Federal Trade Commission to institute

1035
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,760
Speaker 1: rules to curb all anti competitive restrictions that limit consumers

1036
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: ability to repair gadgets on their own terms. But again,

1037
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: you know that we got a Supreme Court and we're

1038
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: on the razor's edge, and Congress with with regards from

1039
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: the motor Rollo razors edge exactly with regards to just

1040
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, having a party in power that is fully

1041
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 1: in favor of you know, the power of corporations over people.

1042
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: So but I don't know, I feel like this, you

1043
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: know because like you know, even Amy Coney Barrett sided

1044
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: with you know, it was like no, no, the vaccine mandates,

1045
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: like let those rock. There's part of me that feels

1046
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: like part of conservative culture would be like that. There

1047
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: would be people just even in the base where like

1048
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: no man like I should be able to repair the ship.

1049
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't feel like quite a like a culture

1050
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: war battle, you know, more than like something very practical.

1051
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: So I am curious to see how it goes. But

1052
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: I won't be surprised if they're like, we've sided with

1053
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: the computers, all right. And finally, I do want to

1054
00:56:54,040 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: talk briefly just j R. Smith's journey from being you know,

1055
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: a meme, the meme of Lebron being very frustrated with

1056
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: him when he didn't know what the score was at

1057
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: the end of the best game that Lebron has ever

1058
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: played and kind of lost that game for them to

1059
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:17,400

1114
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: like you're talking sense, like like mothers would have visited.

1115
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: And then somebody was like, oh, what do you want

1116
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: to learn to cook? And he said shrimp alfredo and

1117
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,400

1118
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: cook in the world. And he would have been like,

1119
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: shut the funk up, but he was like, well, not

Speaker 1: after that ship with Lebron and the Calves and that

1122
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: me meme moment, I feel like he's got some thick

1123
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: skin someone saying. He's like yeah, yeah, okay, keep it moving.

1124
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: And then when this other one I really love, he said,

1125
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: finished my English homework, dope short story about a little

1126
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: girl with six brothers and seeking parental approval, dope reading,

1127
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: and then the books are stack of books emoji, and

1128
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: I was like, he's loving it. And I love to

1129
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: see like this sort of you know, when you see

1130
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: people kind of get this whole new energy about them

1131
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: rather than just being like, let me let the momentum

1132
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: dissipate of being in the NBA and being an athlete.

1133
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: And then I just kind of figured out from there,

1134
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I want to go. I want to

1135

1136
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,680

01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:10,439
Speaker 1: to school, except for yeah, an NBA champion really and yeah,

1138

Speaker 1: college North Carolina. Yeah yeah, so yeah, he's just good.

1143
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,720

1150
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,960

1151
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: he's also pursuing an education. The fact that he's made

1152
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: it this far without like getting signed up for a

1153

01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot of money to to keep that out of

1157
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: this journey. He also said somebody was like, you gotta

01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: you're not eat six ft. That's his fragile sense of masculinity.

1209
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be a ratings bonanza if they

1210
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: if they just scheduled games against people who swore up

1211
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: and down, they can just watch those people's humanity just

1212
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: be fucking I would love. Oh my god. It's a

1214
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 1: pros versus Joe's. But what we do is we put

1215
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: people in psy ops basically, right, it's a side op

1216
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: against these people being like gas them up. Oh you

1218
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna suck them up. And then we're really being like, okay,

1219
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: so you're ready to funk with Candice Parker, right you go?

01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: then come to them and be like, how was that

1223

Speaker 1: right right right, you just get posted so easily, and

1227
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,840

Speaker 1: are giving away gold here. Pretty good. It's just but yeah,

1231
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,680

Speaker 1: sway out of their fucking weight class for ship and

1234
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: like gas themselves up on stupid ship ignorance and then

1235
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,160
