8
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: a too must taco bell baally. The only thing that

9
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: works for me. It's recording possibly checking myself. It's as

10
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: fucked up as an animal. So many turds are in

13
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: it back to our fire Trent Rezzie fire Fire. What

14
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Uh? I was

15
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: gonna say fans at games. During that Clippers Lakers game,

16
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: I didn't notice once like like this tip off happened

17
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I'll never think about whether

18
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: or not their fans again. And they aren't cutting to

19
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: the stands. I don't care when they cut to the stands.

20
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't care that they're like people enjoying it. I'm fine,

21
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: just let me watch the basketball part. I'm in my house.

22
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't care. Right, It's interesting because it seems like

23
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: the being there, it's really noticeable, like for the players

24
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: and the people who are doing the game. At the game,

25
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: they're like, this feels so weird. It feels like you're

26
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: at basketball camp or like you know, just in a gym.

27
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: But watching it, yeah, you can't really tell. They have

28
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the the fan noise piped in a little bit. Well,

29
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: that's that's also kind of it's kind of incongru with

30
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: with baseball is the fan noise. But I also two

31
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: innings in, I didn't I stopped noticing that there's no

32
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: one in the stadium. Yeah, it's just again like we

33
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: were saying, I think in the last episode about how

34
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: like so many professional sports that are being played now,

35
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: they just have the vibe of like community college sporting

36
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: events because there's no there's no audience, your coaches scream

37
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: sneaker squeaking. I do like the it seems like the

38
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: audio feed they'd have to dump just so they weren't

39
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: violating any like sort of FCC like profanity laws because

40
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: there were times like a ball would go out of

41
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: bounds and hear someone go like oh, and then the

42
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: sound for like five seconds and then come back up

43
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: and you're like, ah, what were they saying? Because not

44
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: many people know that in the bubble they have voice

45
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: actors who come in and do their shampoo. Me just

46
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: come in for curses. Come on, you're meeting a stranger

47
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: in the Alps. Yeah. That was the NBA and the

48
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: last week a lot of a lot of fun. It

49
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: was good, too good to have it back. I feel

50
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: like the players, you know, they're they're professionals. They're not

51
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: losing anything. Like maybe maybe uh lackluster teams who you know,

52
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: have let's say, a historically big difference between how they

53
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: play at home versus how they play on the road

54
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: will not be quite as good in this atmosphere. Uh Sixer,

55
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: but I'm worried uh they as we record this. I

56
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen the result of the Sixers game over the weekend,

57
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: but that was something that I was thinking of. Five

58
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: thirty eight actually raised the Sixers chances of winning the

59
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: title the most when the quarantine happened, And now that

60
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, I'm like, well, if they played

61
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: the worst on the road when nobody's cheering for them

62
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: like that for people who don't know, the Sixers were

63
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: like ten and twenty two on the road and then

64
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: like almost undefeated at home. Um, I'm just wondering, like

65
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: how that's gonna break out? Like what, it's the most

66
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: on the road you could possibly be exactly, it's on

67
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: the road extrapolated a hundred times, right, So we'll we'll

68
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: see how that works out for them. JJ Reddick looking

69
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: good though all the all the beer shot gunning. Do

70
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna be any players who like they're

71
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: they're completely find their zone because there are no fans.

72
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean it was like jas surprisingly, you know, JJ

73
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Reddick's just like a shooting specialist. But he had a

74
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: couple of moves that like blew up on Twitter, people

75
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: like what was that? Like he like faked one way

76
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: through a no look past the other like Magic Johnson,

77
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: people like how did well? I wonder if, like going

78
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: to Duke for so long, you get so used to

79
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: verbal abuse that you can now use another part of

80
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: your brain to play. You're like I was using about

81
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: just block out people to focus him and Shane Battier

82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: were like officially the most hated basketball players in the

83
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: world for entire decades, so I'm sure Christian Laterner it

84
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't work out so well for But those guys, do

85
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: you think any like past choke artists or like watching

86
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: this like I could have done this? This would have

87
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: been like turning over a table. Like he said, he

88
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: doesn't get to just go in there. Yeah, anyways, it'll

89
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: be interesting and I will continue to watch all the

90
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: clever ways they find a shotgun beers um in the

91
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: in the bubble, So what you're about to hear the

92
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: audio quality. The audio quality is not great coming from

93
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: our good friend Chris Crofton. It's a full on Chriss

94
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: Crofton episode. Uh. Chris is a total wild card and

95
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: that extends to his audio in this episode. So just

96
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: brace your ears because we figured rather than have everyone

97
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: tweet us to make sure we know what we're going. Yes,

98
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: we do, but that's the cold, brute chaos that Mr

99
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: Crofton b He is speaking into a microphone the whole time.

100
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: We are forced to assume that the microphone was plugged

101
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: into his belly button or just a house plant nearby

102
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: or something, because it did not come through. Um. But Anyways,

103
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: either fun episode as always with Chris, what is a

104
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: what's a myth? Chris? What some of the people think

105
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: it's true? You know? To me, I think some people

106
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: probably been class houses by Billy Joel an album and

107
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: I can share that. I can tell you was anyone

108
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: wants to get and yeah, a fresh perspective, just blast off.

109
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Yea was left their backpack in the three in the

110
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: middle of the night, and go take her there and

111
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: help her out? Yeah, I don't can Also, I can

112
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: also vouch for all of that. Yeah, How I Met

113
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: My Wife? Is that album content? I don't. I don't

114
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: know the Billy Joel discography enough. Is glass Houses seen

115
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: as just a ship album? No, it's not. It's just

116
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not considered one of the most

117
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: powerful elixirs on the earth. I love which it is.

118
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: Thank you don't ask me why is one of my

119
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: favorite Billy Joel songs. I was one of the greatest

120
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: Hits fan growing up. But uh, well you're a little younger. Yeah,

121
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: glass House. Glass Houses came out in so I was

122
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: like in six fifth grade probably, so, I mean it's

123
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: not like I'm not I wasn't like in the arena

124
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: with a lighter but I did, but that record had

125
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Um you may be right, I may, but just maybe

126
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: ludic I mean like just like it's all toxic masculinity.

127
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: But everything before you know, like two thousands actually whatever,

128
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: it's all toxic stuff if you really damn examine it.

129
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: But um, but you know, all it's all just like

130
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: if you want a man, it's a little unpredictable describing

131
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: a really unstable relationship. Yeah, yeah, no, it's all that.

132
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: It's all that. It was just like if you look

133
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: at it now, it's just like the same. It's like, God,

134
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: women wasn't been so annoyed through every period of time

135
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: until well pretty much now. Yeah, Like it's amazing because

136
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: yeah said, listen to men be like I'm horning in

137
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. Drug also a great example of like

138
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: just sums up Billy Joel in the sense that it's

139
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: full of really like great songs, but it also, like

140
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: the the album cover some sums up like what's not

141
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: cool about Billy Joel because it is h It's called

142
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: glass Houses and the cover is a shot from behind

143
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: of him holding a rock getting ready to throw it

144
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: into a glass house. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like throwing

145
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: for him bad. Oh yeah, he's a he's a yeah,

146
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: he's a kind of a little misshapen kind of a man.

147
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: But he uh he uh, that's his house. I like

148
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: looked into the liner notes like I don't know if

149
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: you have a great glass wall. But he's like he's

150
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: like I realized when I was ready, I lived in

151
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: a glass house. Oh my god. Shut Clusterman at that point,

152
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: like you're like the journalism, do you shut the funk up? You? Oh?

153
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: And you know he told that so, you know, like

154
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: at a cocktail party or whatever, and you won't believe this.

155
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: Don't say it. He's gonna say It's gonna say it.

156
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Christie Brinkley. Actually it turns out the title of my record.

157
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's gonna say the same thing. Yeah. He

158
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: um sold seven point one million copies in the US alone. Uh.

159
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting. There's a great Chuck Klosterman essay about

160
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen, like comparing the two of

161
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: them and how you know Billy Joel is you know,

162
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: sold about the same amount of records that their peak songs,

163
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: Like if you look at them song for a song,

164
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: they both have like comparably really good, like uh, songs

165
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: that stand the test of time. But like Billy Joel

166
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: is just like not cool, So he just doesn't get

167
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: the respect that that Bruce Springsteen does. He doesn't have

168
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: like that folklore hero like vibe to him, right exactly.

169
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: Billy Joel on on this album cover is wearing boot

170
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: cut jeans. I feel like you'd never see Bruce Springsteen

171
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: and bootcut jeans. Uh. Well, I think Billy Joel had

172
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of problem with getting dressed because he is,

173
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: like he's kind of shaped weird, he's very small. Um,

174
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: I think he just had trouble. Probably this stylist probably

175
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do with him, so they kind

176
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: of like was all They were always kind of like

177
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: trying to try these because I do I always have

178
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: to wear a bootcut jeans. I don't know, I still

179
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: see the stilts just like he was like, does this

180
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: look good in the styles? Was like, yeah, good enough.

181
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: I guess like you're not, You're not You're not You're

182
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: not Springsteen. Man, I wouldn't think about it. But I

183
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: love Billy Joel for real. He's a great and I

184
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: recommend I recommend that record, and I recommend especially All

185
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: for Lano that song All for Lana going a hike

186
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: and put on All for Lana and uh and just

187
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: do your best. Sorry, yeah, I don't know what I'm

188
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: talking about. Listen. That's how I grew up. I was

189
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: the kid in the house that had to like make

190
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: it so my parents didn't get divorced. So for me,

191
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: this is a very hard time. So I'm like, I'm

192
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: telling everybody how I'm not kidding. I was a kid

193
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: in the house that my parents were like, we're going

194
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: to get divorced unless you do a joke. Oh my god.

195
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: It was like that kind of thing. And then I

196
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: would like to do a joke or whatever and they'd

197
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: be like, you saved our marriage. So for me this time,

198
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: it's just like I'm always like, there's a way to

199
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: look at it where it's gonna be okay mom. And

200
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure that hasn't changed your engagement with comedy as

201
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: a career in any way. Negative. Probably not. I don't

202
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: think so great. What is a what's a myth? What's

203
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: something people think it's true or something vice versa. Okay,

204
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: this might be controversial, but but I think a myth

205
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: is the fact that diversity or representation are the ways

206
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: to solve racial problems necessarily, And I think main evidence

207
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: of that is that Jeffrey Epstein's Island did not allow

208
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: black girls. What for real? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I noticed,

209
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: I noticed the aesthetic in a lot of the photos

210
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: that I saw, But there is a motif. Yeah. Yeah.

211
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: My wife is Korean. She just watched the Filthy Rich documentary.

212
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: She was like, he really had a type. I was

213
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: kind of glad that it wasn't a Korean girls. Yeah,

214
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: It's like, would diversity have made this whole situation better?

215
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so, you know sometimes Yeah, yeah that

216
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I think Also the reason why a lot of people

217
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: think just inclusion or representation is like the answers, because

218
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,239
Speaker 1: you don't have to upend the systemic you know, yeah, absolutely,

219
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: the structures that maintain these these forms of oppression and

220
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: racist Okay, well, I'm not going to sort of look

221
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: into my pay scales and things like that and the

222
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: numbers of people I employ. But how about this, I

223
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: will green light three shows with black people, or how

224
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: I will hire one black pe a r exactly works

225
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: in a different room from the one black writer, so

226
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: they never actually meet each other. Yeah. Yeah, that's always

227
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: funny when you like you're on a set and you

228
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: see the other black person. Oh yeah, well hold on,

229
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, stop stop, stop to go? How

230
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: you doing cut cut? Yeah? I'm like how are you

231
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: doing things? Like? Are you the director? It's like no,

232
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm LaVar Burton's nephew, and I'm like that's fair. Yeah,

233
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm just here visiting. Yeah, I'm like, okay, cool. How

234
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: are you liking it? He's like not for me, I'm

235
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: like fair. Yeah. I just feel like I've watched enough

236
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: anime that have like one black character or I'm just

237
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: like he didn't need to be there would more without him.

238
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: And also, Japanese culture has a very you know, fucked

239
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: up relationship with fetishizing blackness too, so it's it does

240
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: it's not a they're not gonna get the most even

241
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: handed representations. Yeah. Yeah, I've done videos on it, but

242
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't think they're working. Yeah yeah, no,

243
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's hard. It's you know, island nation mentality,

244
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: and people just have this thing. You're like, well, it's

245
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: not violent racism, it's just it's just really it's just

246
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: violent other ring of people and being absolutely dismissive. I

247
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: mean if this happens with force in general, especially if

248
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: you have something to say on societal issues in Japanese culture,

249
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: where if you have a platform and you say something,

250
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: the immediate things like, well they're not Japanese and you know,

251
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: thank you for even though this person was raised here

252
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: and speaks the language and works here and knows that

253
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: they're like but you know, but you know this steps

254
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: every everywhere you go. We gotta make steps, small strides. Alright, guys,

255
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

256
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: And we're back. I wanted to talk a little bit

257
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: about the anti mask movement. It just seems like there's

258
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: like some ways in which it's creeping into the main

259
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: stream a little bit. I noticed some sort of you know,

260
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: moms and dads of children in like classes, my kids

261
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: have been in spreading like things that were yeah, masker

262
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: anti masker light type ship. And there was a big

263
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: protest in Germany, which I had kind of uh credited

264
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: with being good about this sort of thing, where they

265
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: were like, you can't tell tell us to wear masks basically.

266
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to like kind of take a

267
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: step back because it does seem like I don't know

268
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: the like this is the direction this whole thing is

269
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: headed like that that just doesn't seem to be going away,

270
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: no matter how many scientific papers and you know, panels

271
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: of scientists come out and say no, masks are important,

272
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: like for some reason, they just don't seem capable of

273
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: letting that go. What's like the take that you're hearing

274
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: from people, You're like, damn, y'all are on this ship too,

275
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: because usually you know, the real heavy ship is like

276
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: the over the top Satan trying to mask all that stuff.

277
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: But then you see the sort of concern troll the

278
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: um angles about it of like carbon dioxide poisoning exactly.

279
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: So the one I'm seeing from parents is unmask our kids.

280
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk mom to mom. That was like a graphic

281
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: that I saw people passing around. And then from inhaling,

282
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: micro mold caused by trapped water vapor for exhalation can

283
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: be harmful. Inhaling, the slow build up of c O

284
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: two causes impaired cognition suffocation for babies and toddlers who

285
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: cannot communicate. These are all you know, debunked, right. They're saying,

286
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: our community is seeing evidence of all of these issues

287
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: and children that's not true. Yeah, exactly. It's on YouTube.

288
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: It's on YouTube, yeah yeah, and it's it's frightening, is

289
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: what it is. It is like we're just I think

290
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: we're just seeing this everywhere now that social media is

291
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: a thing, Like, we're not designed to be an evidence

292
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: based Species were designed to be a narrative based one. Um.

293
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: There was this on Chopo. Actually, Adam McKay was talking

294
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: about the book Species and how the thing that separated

295
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: Homo sapiens from Neanderthals, like we were basically like the

296
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: two competing forms of like what approximated humans, and the

297
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: thing that Homo sapiens kept losing battles, but then they

298
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: would come back with more and more people and eventually

299
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: like overwhelmed the Neanderthals. And the idea is basically that

300
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: they were able to get people to believe in these

301
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: narratives and like get on board with whatever the war

302
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: cause was. Um, and that is like our defining feature

303
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: is like our gullibility essentially and our ability to like

304
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: believe in our narrative, to get charged up by a narrative.

305
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: So it's not anything to do with the truth. It's

306
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: just that we believe in stories. That's like our defining

307
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: feature as a species. I feel like you just explained

308
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: my most recent breakup. I just really believed the stories.

309
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: It was really just what a dumb bitch. Thank you.

310
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: Jack really really hit me hard on that one. The yikes, Okay, sorry,

311
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: I don't believe that was his Ferrari it had on

312
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: the window. He said she was just a friend helping

313
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: him through his last break up. Oh my god, that's

314
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: why they're still close. It's I mean, it's just funny

315
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: because your I agree. I fully agree with you. That

316
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: is totally right. It's scary as funk how much we

317
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: just we take people for face value. I mean it's

318
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: hard for me too, because I was just talking to

319
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: a friend because I'm like, too honest, I'm too truthful

320
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: to the point that people don't believe me when I

321
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: tell the truth. And I have found that very fascinating

322
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: because most people don't just lie, but they believe their

323
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: lies or you know, they just spread so much nonsense

324
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: that when you are telling the truth or you're providing

325
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: fact or you know, you're showing ship with science, people

326
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: are like, I don't know, I just doesn't feel like

327
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: it makes sense. And it's like I don't even know

328
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: how to deal with this ship because I have a

329
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: family member whose anti mask and it's like she really

330
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: she talks in circles and it's exhausting. It's exhausting. It's

331
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: just you can't and the children. Yeah, yeah, that's I

332
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: think the other thing though, too. It's like this level

333
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: of exhaustion people get because like, on one level, we're

334
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: willing to say like, yeah, this is this is something

335
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: biology and science is going to take the lead on

336
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: and figuring out because we are flesh and blood humans

337
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: and that's just the arena we're in. The science is

338
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: going to have to solve this. It's not about like

339
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: oh if I fucking cock my fist back far enough

340
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: in a writ age, God, I was just aroused. You

341
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: guys should have seen what I So like, there's this

342
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: other thing where it's just so much tidier an explanation

343
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: to just say the cure is already out there and

344
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: they're just keeping us from that with all these masks

345
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: and ship because X, Y and Z, and it's so

346
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: much easier than this, say I'm completely out of control.

347
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: In this instance, I have zero fucking control over this.

348
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: What I do have control over is my outlook on

349
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: things and these other so the things you do have

350
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: control over. It's like, yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna get

351
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: charged up off this. If I put a mask on,

352
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: I will poison myself, even though there have been countless doctors,

353
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: medical experts, respiratory specialists who have been like, I'm gonna

354
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: hook myself up to a blood oxygen reading like machine

355
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: with a mask on, and I'm gonna walk for a

356
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: long time so you can see what my like, my

357
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: oxygen levels are and they will never go in anything

358
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: out below. Ever, this is not gonna happen, and you

359
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: will see me do this because I'm trying to show

360
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: y'all because you believe this other thing. And again that

361
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: doesn't work because these people are like I'm tired of

362
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: being at home. I'm tired or not like working, I'm

363
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: tired of being There's all kinds of stressors building on

364
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: people that they aren't able to articulate. I think also,

365
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: so it's so much easier to be like fuck the

366
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: government and these masks when it should be like my

367
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: employer won't give me health insurance and I have like

368
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: other kids that I'm worried about getting education. But it's

369
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: easy to put all that ship into the this other

370
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: tidy thing of the master fucking us up blah blah blah.

371
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: And it's and I get it on one level, but

372
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: it's it's dark and is dangerous because there's a lot

373
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: of real energy out there. It's also because I think

374
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: that the I think that's the extreme of people that

375
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: are so frustrated that they're angry and that they believe

376
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: this bullshit. I think there's the other group of people

377
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: that they don't know how to just and this is

378
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: common for a lot of people. They don't know how

379
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: to say I don't know, I don't know what's true,

380
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening, as opposed to, you know,

381
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: holding onto these extremes. I mean, that's what's sucked up.

382
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a big part of the problem

383
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: with a lot of issues is that people don't know

384
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: how to admit that they don't know and it's okay

385
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: not to know. I think this has been like our

386
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: most common and underrated that guests have come on to say,

387
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: is that or just basically make normalizing saying you don't

388
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: know that yeah, and I think there's we don't want

389
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: to be one part of a system. That's as Americans

390
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: in particular, we don't want to be uh like we're

391
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: we're just I think too much of our self evaluation,

392
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: our self value. It comes from the idea that we're

393
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: um somehow special because that's what like American identity is

394
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: based around. And so you know what like these ideas are.

395
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: It's not like some geniuses some somewhere picking the perfect

396
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: idea to appeal to mothers and realizing like that telling

397
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: them that their motherly intuition knows what's best for their

398
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: kids instead of scientists like and that these are all

399
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: things that they secretly suspected and hoped were true, like

400
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: they It's just that there's a million ideas being put out,

401
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: and the one that is most successful at like clinging

402
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: onto those desires of mothers is the one that gets

403
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: spread viral e Like literally it's like a thought virus

404
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: that is being spread. The most effective one is going

405
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: to eventually like take over. And that's kind of what

406
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: like the social media, Like I the more I think

407
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: about the the more I'm like we as long as

408
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: we have social media and pat nobody who's responsible acting

409
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: as a gatekeeper on like what gets spread. It's just

410
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: gonna be ideas that people wish were true rather than

411
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: the truth. Yeah, because Twitter starting to look like the

412
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: first grade schoolyard and and there's a third grader telling

413
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: them some bullshit they all believe, Oh yeah, you know

414
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. And that's and it ends there. It's

415
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: like yeah, great, I mean well Mark said, you know

416
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like if you you know, if if

417
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: you look at this thing too long, like you go blind,

418
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: like don't touch your penis or you go like it's

419
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: like all this weird. It's just like pseudoscience that like

420
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, like that because that's what it feels like

421
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, Like the lame ship you believe

422
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: is the gospel treat because someone's slightly older than Yeah,

423
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: whatever the funk it is God truth, the truth faery.

424
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: So I think now, like with social media is sort

425
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: of the same environment where you have a receptive audience.

426
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: Somebody just sprinkles that in and there's no one there

427
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: to be like yo, someone needs Uh. It's just a

428
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: lot of energy. Now, like how do you get somebody

429
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: to look at something differently when they're already so receptive

430
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: to anything because we're like people have just been failed

431
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: or people have failed to understand what's going on. Yeah,

432
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm also shocked that like people, Hey, you go to

433
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: a doctor's office, if you get surgery, they're in masks.

434
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: If you if you travel, people more masks and other places.

435
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the weirdest conversation I don't know

436
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: if I mentioned this last time. One of the weirdest

437
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: conversations I ever had. When I was I was working

438
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: in Tokyo the other comedian and he saw a bunch

439
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: of people in masks and his reaction was like, if

440
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: this is going to be the house that they need

441
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: to wear a mask, why don't they just stay home?

442
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, what do they have something and

443
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: they're trying not to spread it? And like I had,

444
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: And that was the thing was I was like, I've

445
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: never even had that thought. I've never even had to

446
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: defend someone wearing a mask, And that was my my

447
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: initial reaction. And I guess I always think back to

448
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: that moment of like, why did he see that that

449
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: that way? And why did I see it this way?

450
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: And and that's really how I see it sometimes where

451
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: it's like some people just are incapable of looking at

452
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: ship in different ways. You just see it the one

453
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: way and that's it. Yeah, the whole idea that scientists

454
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: are trying to get people to understand is that it's

455
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: source control that you'd be protecting other people if because

456
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: you might have already caught it and might be asymptomatic

457
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: at the time when they change from being like masks

458
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: should be worn if available to everybody needs to wear

459
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: masks when they realized asymptomatic people are spreading this disease.

460
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: You might have it and not realize it, but that

461
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: requires people to like it's just so incongruous to the

462
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: version of reality that Americans are the like I'm special,

463
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: not part of the you know, we're fed a very

464
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: tailored diet of bullshit stories about the country too. That

465
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: makes everyone if you're not critical, you'd be like, yeah,

466
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: America is like the coolest place where uh like, white

467
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: people just prosper and nothing bad ever happens. Like really,

468
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think you're not raised learning what the

469
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: foundations of this country are in terms of that it's

470
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: built off of you know, chattel, slavery and uh like

471
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: using this forced labor to create the foundations economically to

472
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: create this amazing country, or that it was completely stolen

473
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: from indigenous people and that we've systematically made it so

474
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: it's impossible for these groups to now flourish in this

475
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: new version of America. So it's and on top of it,

476
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: the country doesn't know the kind of destruction or war

477
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: that many other countries have had brought to their doorsteps.

478
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: So there's this idea that America will never know, like

479
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: we'll never know foreign troops on our streets, will never

480
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: know bombed out buildings from of like an invading army

481
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But it's it's woven into the

482
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: histories of many other countries. Like even if you're English,

483
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: you know about the Blitz and you know that people

484
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: had to go underground because the bombs, the bombings were

485
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: so wild that that's just what it was that became

486
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: the day to day of that country. People in Japan

487
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: know you can get an atomic bomb dropped on you

488
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: or any like. It's that sort of strife is just

489
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: so abstract to Americans that the second there's something like that,

490
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: it just becomes it just it becomes a circus, Like

491
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: there's just not that ability. I don't know why to say, Okay,

492
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: we need to hold tight. But again, I think because

493
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: of the mentality of America is so individualistic that yeah,

494
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: something like wearing a mask to consider the safety of

495
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: another person is just antithetical to this whole idea we

496
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: have of what it means to be American. Yeah, I've

497
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: been saying that, like, we need to publicize the fact

498
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: that the flu shot is not for you, it's for

499
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: like saving the lives of old people in babies that

500
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: you're around, because like, I feel like that's an underrepresented thing,

501
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: like you might have the flu and be spreading it

502
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: and not really be sick. Like, so the people who

503
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: are like I don't know the flu in years, like

504
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: and so I don't get the flu shot are actually

505
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's a thing you're saying that's incredibly selfish.

506
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: I've been saying, like that needs to be the publicity

507
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: campaign because that like actually makes it seem like more

508
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: heroic to get a flu shot than not to. But

509
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: I now think, like that's not like that wouldn't work

510
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: in America. It's about anything that is seen as weakness

511
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: and not strength is immediately rejected. So having empathy is weakness.

512
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: Wearing a mask is weakness, you know, saying having to

513
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: get a flu shot is weakness, because then you can't

514
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: be like, I got the most brawlic commune system on

515
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: fucking earth. Bro come at me like I'll eat bio

516
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: hazardous waste and be chill the next day. Like it's

517
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: that idea, so like to somebody, because myself I was

518
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: like that too until I got schooled and I was like, yeah,

519
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: you know what I do? You get this food shot?

520
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: And I was thinking more in this very individualistically, I'm like, no,

521
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. I'm good, rather than what's my

522
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: what's my responsibility to other people in my community? What's

523
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: my But that's a that's a thought most people would

524
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: be interesting. I'm curious how many Americans would ever say, now,

525
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: what's my responsibility to the others in my community? When

526
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: you have a when you have a leader that's always

527
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: talking about himself in a way that makes him seemless,

528
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: and he here's the fun up thing he achieved what

529
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: he achieved being completely selfish, you know, and and and

530
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: throwing people under a buss and yeah, and and exploiting

531
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: people and and sucking people over and he proved that

532
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: you can't achieve the greatest title in them in America

533
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: by being a selfish piece of ship. So that's what sucks,

534
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: is like, we can sit here and talk about this

535
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: ship all day, but a lot of mother Yes, the

536
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: examples are there, that's what they and they love him.

537
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: That's why they love him. They're like, fuck it, I

538
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: can be selfish a funk if I want to and

539
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: get away with it and be president and be rich

540
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: and have a hot wife like and be best. Yeah,

541
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: it's and and he's proving that you you can be

542
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: successful by being selfish. That's what's fucked. Like, we can

543
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: talk about this all day, but that's that's the real

544
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: funckory here. And I think maybe the other side of

545
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: that coin to what you're saying, Marcella, is that if

546
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: he's that example and now we're seeing how poorly he's

547
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: performing because science is clearly against him and is actually

548
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: the the reasonable argument and all of this, that it's

549
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: doubly a threat to those people because like, well, what

550
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: the funk I just thought I could do whatever the

551
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: funk I want And now there's all this masks ship.

552
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: What the fun But that's the thing. They are getting

553
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: away with it because there are people that aren't seeing

554
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: people around them die or anyone they love die, so

555
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: like they they will, they will not be hindered in

556
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: their perspective unless and that's what's fucked, right, because we

557
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: see like people having white these white people in Texas

558
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: having parties and then their family died, like thirteen family

559
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: members die, and it's like, oh, ship, maybe we were wrong.

560
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: Like that's what it's taking for some people, which is bonkers, terrible,

561
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: terrible price to pay for that left, right, But it's

562
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: still it's still not happening everywhere. And that's what's crazy

563
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: about the Florida ship. Right, they were mimicking our president

564
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: and now we're seeing the repercussions of that. And so

565
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope that they change their mind, but

566
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: will they He's still he's still doing not terrible in

567
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: the numbers in the poll. Yeah, his approval and disapproval

568
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: or his approval is going up and disapproval going down,

569
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: like very slightly. And he's still not where any presidential

570
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: candidate will want to be. But it's still shocking to

571
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: me that he's anything but like like forty points underwater,

572
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: given how how badly he's sucked Up's how but again,

573
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: netives right, that's to your point of narratives. That means

574
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: the country is all in on this narrative of white

575
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: supremacy and cultural dominance. And it's again, it's it's a

576
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. How all in are they? Miles, They're so

577
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: all in to the point that they will shoot at

578
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: cops with an a K forty seven and shoot at

579
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: a store owner who asks them to wear a mask

580
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: with a handgun. Um, that's what one man did in

581
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Another thing they're all in on.

582
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: Some of the anti mask people are wearing fake masks

583
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: that don't prevent them from spreading germs, but just we'll

584
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: get people off their back. And they're like, see, nobody

585
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: like stops us from wearing it. It's all compliance, it's

586
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: not about prevention. They're using the fact that they are

587
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: going out of their way to do like an aggressively

588
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: sociopathic thing as evidence that the mask people are wrong somehow,

589
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: Um A nice. When I shoplift, it is definitely the

590
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: store's fault, that's for sure. I mean they're lp protocols

591
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: were all funked up. Man lost prevention for the for

592
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: the amateur. Yeah, back to that guy in Bethlehem, PA

593
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: who started licking shots at a store owner because he stole.

594
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: He's like to put your mask on your camp be

595
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: in here. He's like funk that took two cigars and

596
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: when the guy came after him, he like shot a

597
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: shot in the air and a couple of the guy

598
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: at the employee and he ran off. The cops found him.

599
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: The thing that's wild more than anything also is that

600
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: this white man busted started clapping a K forty seven

601
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: at the police and he just got shot in his legs,

602
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: in his butt and his alive. That yeah, that's but

603
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: anything that's like another part. There's so many layers. I'm

604
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: looking at this like there's this mask thing. There's this

605
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: other part of imagine a personal color even pulling out

606
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: at a k anywhere. And it's not even that like

607
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: this man deserved to be killed or whatever, But just

608
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: look at I could not imagine the difference of discipline

609
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: of where you were shooting somebody that somehow this man

610
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: was not hit in any of his vital organs. But

611
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: you know, all that to say is that this pandemic

612
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: is also just creating so much more chaos than we

613
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: can actually see, like the stressors. Not to like excuse

614
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: what any of these people do anywhere, but I know

615
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: the stress is so real for so many people, and

616
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: it's very very intense and existential, And it all depends

617
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: on what the prism you're looking for. You can take

618
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: that to some terrible destructive place that is dangerous to

619
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: the community, to take another place to try and figure

620
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's like the guy that decapitated his landlord, Yeah,

621
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: with a samurai sword. I mean a lot of these

622
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: are like kind of stories that you feel like you'd

623
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: see here and there, like throughout the year, but it

624
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: happening across the country. But I think you know, that's

625
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: the other reason why the response to this pandemic is

626
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: so essential, because there's another X factor of the the

627
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: like how everyone is taking this and how they're processing

628
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: this stress. Because many people are looking up and saying, oh,

629
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in the hands of a government that does

630
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: not care whether or not I can put food on

631
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: my table or stay in my home. The um. Yeah,

632
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: just one thing. As a as media consumers, it's worth

633
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: looking at how this guy is being covered because immediately

634
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: the story came out, his lawyer said, but he had

635
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: gone through a divorce and he had lost his job,

636
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: and he's immediately being humanized. That's another way that it's

637
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: different from how it would be if this story was

638
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: person of color doing that, it would none of those

639
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: factors would be brought up by the media. It might

640
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: be brought up by his lawyer, but that certainly wouldn't

641
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: be part of the story that was being published on

642
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: the Washington Post. Was killed in his own apartment and

643
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: they said, oh, he was smoking weed. Yeah. Um. The

644
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: and then just in terms of people, you know, they're

645
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: the antimask people are putting out all these macros. So

646
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna put some links in the footnotes that have

647
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: some good facts that people could use to make their

648
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: own macros about why masks work that are just like

649
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: very basic. Uh uh that. Come on, y'all, let's let's

650
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: make some Let's make some macros educate the the people. Alright, guys,

651
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

652
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: And we're back. What do we want to start with?

658
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: the apartment, and Special Confidential was the first thing we

659
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: put on. This is gonna I just side note. I

660
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: was just looking at this u c l A team.

661
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: J R. Henderson, who played on that team as well,

662
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: who also was drafted by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the

663
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: second round. He left to Japan and became a naturalized

664
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:08,560

666
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm done with that, all right. Spencer Confidential has nothing

667
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: to do with u c l A Championships or the

670
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: Wahlberg are life partners. They work exclusively together. It seems

671
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: like he kind of he seems like he has a

672
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: sense of what people like about Mark Wahlberg and it's

673
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: just like everything is oriented around that. Um, what is

674
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: this about? Who? Is Spencer and what's confidential Spencer. Spencer

Speaker 1: some time because he had a coming and he admitted

683
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: to it. That's right. Uh, And loves dogs. Loves dogs

684
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: just to soften the physical violence and portions of his personality,

685
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: but loves dogs. Just random stuff you can't disagree with exactly.

686
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: It's like it's easy to forget all those brutal John

687
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: Wick head shots if you remember it was all because

688
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: of a dog. That's right. Um. But Boston cops, it

689
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: turns out, are bad. They're bad guys and also bad

690
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: at being bad guys. They're they're not good at corruption. Uh.

691
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: They there's just like a lot of sloppy stuff going

692
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: on from the bad guys. They're they're just leaving like

693
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: crime scenes uncleaned up with like blood splatter everywhere and

694
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: they're just like, yeah, we did that, but we already

695
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: pinned it on this other guy, so we should be good. Um.

696
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: One of the weirdest sex scenes. Um, I think, wait,

697
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: what we saw? We watched three six Den and you're

698
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: saying there's some there's a well this is a weird

699
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: and what sense. I'd say it's like more realistic because

700
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: of like the physical awkwardness of it, but like Manning

701
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: and Eminem fucking eight mile, Yeah, it's a little like

702
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: it's got that thing that makes you feel bad. It's like, oh,

703
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: the way she licked her hand. I was like, but

704
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: it's not that hot, Like it's right, It's yeah, it's

705
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: very dumb. It makes you like it's like, oh yeah,

706
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: sex is stupid, like we we shouldn't you stupid people

707
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: enjoy it, right, It's like look good too. It's him

708
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: and Eliza is Mark Walberg and Flessinger like throwing each

709
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: other around a bathroom violently, and that makes me think

710
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: it was almost written by someone who uh was a virgin,

711
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: because it's like yeah, and then he throws her against

712
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: the sink like we all, but he physically looks uncomfortable

713
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: with it. I don't know if that's his Catholicism coming through,

714
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: but like he just like when he's about to do it,

715
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: he's like, uh, and I don't know. It's it's just

716
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: very weird. He's also small. Movie did not right. This

717
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: movie does not hide the fact that, by the way

718
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: he thinks, he claims he should have never made Boogie Nights. Uh,

719
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: which is best movie? Is best movie? Although I think

720
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: his best performance is Uh, I heart Huckabees. That's my

721
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: favorite Mark Wahlberg comedic that, even though I don't like

722
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: that movie all that much, my favorite. He's getting funny,

723
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: but he's like, you're the fucking destroyer man. Mark Marin

724
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: shows up as a reporter. Uh. It's it's interesting that

725
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: has common comedians because it's not like there are kind

726
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: of a lot of comedians in it. Yeah. Really who else? Uh?

727
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: Mark Marin and Eliza's Lessinger. I know they're there are

728
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: a couple more that they're like very minor. They're like

729
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: Boston comedians, really minor. Yeah. He like shows up three

730
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: quarters through and is just like they keep checking in

731
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: with him, but he doesn't really do any what Okay,

732
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: now what what fucking who is posting alone? Why the

733
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: funk is he on the thing. It's a white supremacist

734
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: gang member who knows uh, different stuff, and he has

735
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: probably a total of two minutes of screen time, maybe

736
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more. This is what they do

737
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 1: with those fucking stupid images. They serve you, like trying

738
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: to get you to think that like that movie is about.

739
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: There's some really interesting thumbnails that pop up that are

740
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: completely misrepresent what movies are about, just to be like,

741
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you'll click on it because of

742
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: this space. So he's only in it for two minutes. Yeah,

743
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: he's barely in it. What's also crazy about this movie

744
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: is it's like one of it's like really stretching the

745
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: idea of using a previous I p like you like,

746
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 1: just if something existed before, we can remake it, because

747
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: like Spencer is like a sixties TV show and then

748
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: like a series of novels but no one knows about it.

749
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: Like yeah, so so if you're remaking So if you're

750
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: making something because it's was something else before, it's like

751
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: who is that for? It feels like like are there

752
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: old people who are like I loved the Spencer Show

753
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: from the sixties and now finally they've made a Netflix movie.

754
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: I was hoping Post Malone would be the white supremacist

755
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 1: jail house snitch. Ye, the original Spencer fans. They're just waiting,

756
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: you're the right Finally, our generations don knots postmone Um.

757
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: It's I guess I see why it was successful because

758
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg. I think Mark Wahlberg is legitimately a movie

759
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: star in the sense that like he can a big

760
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: shining star. Bro. Yeah, he's a big, bright, shining star. Uh.

761
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: He just like people will watch stuff with him because

762
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: he's in it. Uh And and I'm one of those people. Yeah. Yeah, No,

763
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: I like a good Mark Wallberry action movie. This did

764
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: not disappoint me, didn't blow me away either. It was

765
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: just just right. It was Goldilocks Mark, Yeah, exactly. So

766
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: it seems like his thing is going to be because

767
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: they have a final scene where he sees a news

768
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: report and it's like apparently his next case, and it

769
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: seems like his thing, which seems very specific, is finding

770
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: Boston cops who are framed for committing crimes and like

771
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: exonerating them, because like that's that's the plot of this

772
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, that must be just like must

773
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: be just this plot. But then like as they're having

774
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: a beer like cheers in the great uh you know,

775
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: corrupt scheme that they just fucked up, he sees one

776
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: of his friends getting hauled out of like a firehouse.

777
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: He's a fireman. They're like he's being accused of, you know,

778
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: a crime, and the guys like, I didn't do it.

779
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: Someone helped me. And it's and he's like they're like, Spencer,

780
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: don't do it, don't help do it. It's just it's like,

781
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think you got a bum rap chief.

782
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: If you look at the video after after you flip

783
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: that kid's wheelchair, I don't think he fully curb stomped him. Spencer,

784
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: what I tell you what happened? People? Yeah, like legs

785
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: in trouble a lot for that. Yeah, he goes to

786
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: jail for helping people. He goes to jail by beating

787
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: people up. He goes he's always helping people. Uh, he

788
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: just can't help it. And this also helps in like

789
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: a universe where everyone's secretly really good at fighting or

790
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: has ambitions to be really good at fighting, but no

791
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: non violent character. Every every person you see is just

792
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: like yeah, and that's that little girl selling girl scout cookies. Yeah,

793
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: she's she's a monster in the range. Yeah, she killed

794
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: her scout leader with a coplewet to kick. You wouldn't

795
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: believe the victor right in the nose. The co star

796
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: who plays a hawk. Is he an actual m M

797
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: A fighter? I didn't know. It seemed like they were

798
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: teasing that I didn't bother. I think this is the

799
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: thing about my rewatch reviews. I don't do any research,

800
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: and then our audience yells at me for not knowing stuff.

801
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna bring that up from Black Panther. He's

802
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: uh and to us, oh shit, he just du yeah

803
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: he could like he's like cutting this like heer sh Yeah,

804
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: he's he's They make him look giant. I don't think

805
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: I knew that's who that was, and that's how different

806
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: he looks. Yeah, damn be getting big Bro in the

807

00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,920

00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: you Mark Wahlberg, Bro, you grab it. You grab it

810
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: by the wheel at the bottom, Bro, get more leverage

811
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: that the chair will flip. Brom I was never at

812
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: one point during this movie convinced that he would have

813
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: been able to do any of these things, Like he

814
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have such a particular set of skills that you're like, oh,

815
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: I feel confident that Spencer's got this. It's just like

816
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: he's kind of like aggressive violently and has a good heart.

817
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: Like I don't, would you agree, Sam, Like, what what

818
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: is his what is his skill? He takes a beating

819
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: the entire movie. He gets the absolute shit kicked out

820
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: of him in every scene, like beat him up in

821
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: a bathroom. Remember that that scene is like very he

822
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: gets like brutal, like he gets like and he just

823
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: keeps That is his Yeah, that's his super power of

824
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: this whole movie. Everyone whoops his ass in a very

825
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: obvious way, and he'll go He'll just charge into a

826
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: group of six guys with batons and just like what

827
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: I do I help people. There are multiple times that

828
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: he would be dead if it weren't for the fact

829
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: that they arbitrarily chose for this uh drug ring he's

830
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: bringing up to be filled with henchman who only use

831
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: machete's instead of guns, Like, uh, yeah, it's I don't know.

832
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. It's not not a great movie, but Also,

833
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 1: it's not a re enactment of an actual real world

834
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: tragedy by the by Peter Berg and Mark Wallberg. It's

835
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: a it's a great zone out. Yeah it's airplane airplane

836
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: movie basically, yeah, exactly. But the fact that it's been

837
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: viewed by more people than like et is pretty you

838
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: know people, I was gonna look at guys, I was

839
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: gonna ask you guys something or like. So this goes

840
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: counter to like, right, a very uh you don't want

841
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: to play into like too much capaganda. But there's like

842
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 1: something really satisfying about a detective story right now because

843
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: you're watching someone want to solve a problem like no one,

844
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: no one who can Yeah, no one who can in

845
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: real life has wanted to solve a problem like that

846
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: has the abilities to. So to watch a detective be like,

847
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: murder is a problem and I'm going to solve this

848
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: murder it's like really like soothing. But he's not a detective, bro.

849
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: He detective Yeah pussy bro to fucking beat the funk

850
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: out of a perpetrator. Bro. It's like, whoa, I'll punch

851
00:49:54,360 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: the clues. What took that clue out? Bro? Anyways? Uh? Yeah,

852
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: like I said, five stars after five stars. Right, all right,
