Okay, I've been doing 23 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot of thinking and I know that it's really 24 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: frustrating and sad that we had to put a maybe temporary, 25 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: maybe permanent, who knows, pause, stop on the beat macromy investigation. 26 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: But I really wanted us to have some fun, and 27 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: so I know you love surprises. I bought us two tickets. 28 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to tell you, okay. I bought us 29 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: two tickets to Madison Square Garden in New York and 30 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: y See to go see. Oh that sounds so great. Wait, 31 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: what are you doing? That sounds great? I feel like, okay, 32 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: you're saying the words. That sounds great, but that very 33 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: sounds Why are you stepping away? Where are you looking? 34 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: Two tickets? No? I I heard it at Madison's heard 35 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: and that sounds great. I don't believe. What are you doing? 36 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: What's going on? Okay? I guess you're like, so it 37 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: was canceled, like the show's canceled. No no, no, no, 38 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: no was canceled. Wait wait whispering, I can't hear you 39 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: over the waves. Yeah, I was canceled. Wait like canceled, handled, canceled? 40 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: What did it? What did you do? I don't think Wait, 41 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: why did he get no? No No? No? Hang on? Why 42 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: did he get canceled? Okay, it was canceled? Because what? Uh? 43 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: I don't know? Do you don't repeat that part? How 44 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: do they know? How do they know? I hang on before? 45 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: But how do you? How do they? How do they know? 46 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: Because I feel gross? Why did you make me say that? God? 47 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Don't I don't think we can go. I don't think 48 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: we should be caught. No, we could be caught. I'm 49 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: obviously not. No, I didn't. I didn't know. I was 50 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: taking a phone sabbatical. And to be honest, actually my 51 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: literal worst night here is to be canceled. Your worst 52 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: fear is to be or do you even be canceled for? 53 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be anything, what do you 54 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: I could be walking and someone could be like, why 55 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: are you walking like that? Your worst fear? Yeah? Does 56 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: that sound a little bit irrational? Oh? No, it's like 57 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: I feel like people would get canceled. They're generally are 58 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: doing bad. So you're wearing those shoes? Do you feel like, Yeah, 59 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: that's literally a fear of yours. My top biggest fear. 60 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's irrational, for sure, but it's but it's like, 61 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: it's my fear. I've been reading a little bit about 62 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: exposure therapy. Okay, this is crazy, But since we can't 63 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: do the other investigation, what do you think about if 64 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: to face your fear you get canceled. We're going to 65 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: cancel you That that sounds horrible, would but you'll do it. 66 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: Then you'll see maybe it's not so bad. If it's 67 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: literally your worst fear and you're saying you can't go 68 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: to the grocery store, you can't walk freely. Yeah, that 69 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: sounds I don't think that sounds like a great idea. 70 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: Episode six, Kyle gets canceled. So we came up with 71 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: a plan. While our investigation to beat backermy Similard on 72 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: the back burner, we would continue our larger investigation into 73 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: the subject of fear, only this time we would focus 74 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: on a different branch of that subject. We would help 75 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: Kyle overcome her fear of getting canceled. Hey, who knows, 76 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: maybe by doing so, we would actually put ourselves into 77 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: a better position for when we finally do face our 78 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: fear of beat macromy when that faithful day finally comes. 79 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: But don't worry, guys, we'll get there. Since neither Kyle 80 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: nor I had experienced getting canceled, we were kind of 81 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: in the dark. So I reached out to someone who 82 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: I knew had a bit of expertise on the subject. 83 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: Her name is Megan, And if that sounds familiar, that's 84 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: because it is. By this point, you're well familiar with her. 85 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: She was basically a part of our family. Play the clip. 86 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: Hey Megan, all I care about his mind? Getting my nuts? 87 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: We gave Megan a call. Hey, how's it going. It's good? Um, 88 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: we really missed you since last season. Actually, yeah, I 89 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: mean I've you know, I've had a lot of balls 90 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: in the yar. I been while working on a lot 91 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: of exciting projects that are gonna be coming up in 92 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: the near future. So I've been a little busy, but 93 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: I've absolutely missed you too. Wow. Did she just say 94 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: what I think she just said? Kyle, I have no 95 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: way of answering that question. You are a journalist who 96 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: has been kind of in the in the world of 97 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: of cancelation. I'm written to think pieces about the amend 98 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: that did the things. You know, any questions, what's up? 99 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: We're looking to get Kyle canceled, basically, is the short 100 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: end of it. And she's and I am too, really scared. 101 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: So I guess we're kind of wondering if you could 102 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: tell us what we needed to tread lightly. I mean, 103 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: this was a sensitive subject. The truth was even Megan, 104 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: someone who had made a career out of speaking truth 105 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: to power, was herself afraid of getting canceled. I don't 106 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: want to say anything that's gonna get me canceled. I 107 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: you know, like everyone else, I'm terrified. Megan wasted no 108 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: time and immediately started brainstorming. I don't know the extent 109 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: to which Kyle feels comfortable being a sex past. I 110 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: know what a sex past. You said this would be safe. 111 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: First of all, I didn't say that, But anyway, let's 112 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 1: just hear her out. If you want to say something 113 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: derogatory about a race, you are not. Megan's ideas about 114 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: how to get Kyle canceled they were a little out there. 115 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: I was trying to help my friends safely face her fear, 116 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: not ruin her life. Instead, I decided to use this 117 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to find out about the aftermath of the cancelation. 118 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: We encouraged Megan to talk about that. I mean, you've 119 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: seen maybe the fallout, right, so what? Um? Which, yeah, 120 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: I guess like what. I'm sorry that I'm not asking 121 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: specific questions. I just the world is so scary to me. 122 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: You don't want to say the wrong thing in this 123 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: so right, Well, I would say closet cancelation. What happens is, 124 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, you you take a little time on the bench, 125 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: cool your heels a little bit. Yeah, let the discourse happen, 126 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: and then about maybe one to two weeks two months 127 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: after the cancelation, you do a hard pivot to all right, 128 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: and then you start getting a hundred thousand dollars a 129 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: month on the Patreon. Do you have a Patreon yet? Uh? No? Okay, 130 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna wanna in between the cancelation and you re 131 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: emerging like a phoenix from the ashes. I'm gonna need 132 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: you to create a patroon. I'm gonna need you to 133 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: move to Austin, Texas. I'm going to start a podcast. Okay, 134 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: I think I was following. Okay, so I'm gonna need 135 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: you to do another. Say okay, Kyle, I don't want 136 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: to do a second podcast. I like this one. I 137 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: honestly think that we have something here that is very special. Hey, 138 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: let's stay positive and here are out. Um. Okay, I'm 139 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: writing this so you're gonna have an entirely new fan base. 140 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, I don't want a new fan base. 141 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: I love you guys, the listeners, you with your beanie, 142 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: and you are one young fan what are you twelve? 143 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: And even you the guy who is my birthday twin. 144 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: I love all you guys. Honestly, this conversation was turning 145 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: out to not be very helpful. We were a bit lost, 146 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: and Megan just took off on our own. It was 147 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: kind of like leaving two furbies alone in a room. 148 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: They just keep going on and on and on. Kind 149 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: of just left her alone and listen to her. Let 150 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: it rip. They're looking for a warrior like yourself. I 151 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: assure you that so long as you are an entity 152 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: that is able to generate wealth in our capitalistic society. Um, 153 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: there never really is cancelation. There's only it's almost like death. Okay, 154 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: death is not the end, Okay, we there there's a 155 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: future beyond death. A lot of people are scared of death, 156 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: but I'm here to tell you death is not the end. Okay, 157 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: death is just the opportunity for rebirth and reverse this 158 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Then you make Megan's final words were 159 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: actually reassured. Just make it, just just just make it explosive, 160 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: you know, and I'll have I'll signal boosted bingo, Megan 161 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: would signal boost it. Anna, that doesn't sound good. No, 162 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: it sounds great. I know things are getting really good, 163 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: but we have to take a break for some ads, 164 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: and the ad break is over. Back to it. We 165 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: got off the phone with Megan and reflected, m hm. 166 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: Talking to her didn't exactly show us what to do 167 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: to get canceled, but it did get us thinking about 168 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: what it might be like to get canceled. The problem was, however, 169 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: that Megan had traditionally been the cancel ern so her 170 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: ideas about what would happen in the aftermath they were 171 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: a bit speculative. We thought about it. Maybe it would 172 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: be a good idea to talk to someone who had 173 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: actually gone through it, someone who had been canceled and 174 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: lived to tell the tale, Anna, I honestly have a 175 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: terrible feeling about this. I feel terrible about giving air 176 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: time to someone who has been canceled. That in and 177 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: of itself could get us canceled. I hate this episode. 178 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: You're treating me like a little science experiment, and you're 179 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: the mad scientist. Kyle. What do we your graduated cylinder. 180 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay. Hey, Now, as Kyle had mentioned, 181 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: this was a bit of a tricky situation. Of course, 182 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: I knew it would be morally irresponsible and reprehensible to 183 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: give a platform to someone who had done something terrible. 184 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not about to call up Hitler and 185 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: see if he wants to meet up at Cafesito Organico 186 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: so that I could pick his brain about his craft sometime. 187 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: You know, I'm talking about a low level cancelation. A 188 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: low level cancelation like what Kyle. I don't know yet, 189 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: but I'll figure it out. And then I figured it out. 190 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: We would talk to Joe. Let's just say that Joe's 191 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: story it was interesting. We'll let him fill you in. 192 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: My name is Joe. I'm under the marquee of the 193 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: New Beverly Cinema right now on Beverly Boulevard and in Hollywood, California, 194 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: and this is the place that canceled me. We let 195 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: Joe tell us his story. They put out a calendar 196 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: every month that has a list of all their movies, 197 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of times it's a bunch of movies 198 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: that I've never heard of before. And they're fun. It's fun. 199 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: They have fun titles, funny names, and I think that's funny. Uh. 200 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: And so what I did was I made up fake 201 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: movies and made little pictures of movie posters and I 202 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: put them on there instead. I showed it to my wife, 203 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: I said to check this out, and she said, this 204 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: is this is very very good. She loved it, and 205 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: she said, put this on Twitter. The tweet was off 206 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: to a kind of slow start. A couple of people 207 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: liked it. Okay, okay, it's doing numbers. It's doing you know, 208 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: we're in the we're in the teams, two dozens. They 209 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: get a little bit better to kind of break out 210 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: of my my bubble, all right, some people are more 211 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: and more and more people seeing it, a little more retweets. 212 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: You can probably guess what happened next. The tweet blew 213 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: up and it was awesome and Joe was loving every 214 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: moment of the ride. But little did he know in 215 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: that exact moment when he felt on top of the world, 216 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: his tweet with the fake calendar was being seen by 217 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: the wrong pair of eyes, and the next thing he 218 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: knew he was locked by the New Beverly Cinema Twitter account. 219 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: But the thing is, he didn't even know it was happening. 220 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: I didn't notice I was blocked by the New Beverly 221 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: Cinema until maybe months later, when I tried to look 222 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: at their schedule and I couldn't see it. It made 223 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: me think about a tsunami bomb, how it's so big 224 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: but you might not feel to impact right away. Gosh, 225 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: it really makes you think. This was a rare opportunity 226 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: to hear what it was like to be canceled. We 227 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: heard Joe out. It makes me feel small, casting looks 228 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: of judgment, sometimes aggression, um, other times just ignoring me. 229 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: And that's what it is day to day. It is 230 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: just you are cast off um, human detritus. That's what 231 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: I feel like. It's this is really hard to talk about. 232 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: I did. I did not expect it to be this 233 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: sord to talk about. It hurts. And then we got 234 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: to the uncomfortable part what this cancelation meant for Joe's life. 235 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: Practically speaking, I'll either come here or I'll call people 236 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: and say, please read this month's calendar. Yeah, I have 237 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: to have it read to me. Huh. Okay, well that 238 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: did sound inconvenient, but not exactly what we were looking for. 239 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: We let Joe keep talking because we were sure he 240 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: would get to the part where he was banned from 241 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: the theater or something. Um, you know, it's still can 242 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: come here and see move what because I don't think 243 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: they know who I am. Okay, that's really interesting. I 244 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: was definitely taken aback by this, but Joe seemed upset, 245 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: so I tried to be there for him. I just 246 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: gotta keep calling. Thanks. Thanks, I mean Joe, thank you 247 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: so much. Thank you for well, thanks for letting me 248 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: at least let me speak here. And I appreciated that. 249 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: I really do. We said our goodbyes to Joe and 250 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: thought about what we had learned Between what Megan told 251 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: us about moving to Austin and Joe still being able 252 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: to see movies four or five times a week getting canceled. 253 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: He really didn't seem that bad. But that was actually 254 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: good news because now I would have an easier time 255 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: convincing Kyle to go for it. And by go for it, 256 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean getting canceled. All right, I hear you. Maybe 257 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: getting canceled wouldn't be so bad. But Anna, what exactly 258 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: was I getting canceled for? And keep in mind, I 259 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: don't want to be a sex best It's always really 260 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: nice when Kyle learns a new term and then tries 261 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: to take it out for a spin as much as possible. Anyway, 262 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: there was a point to her question, what would she 263 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: get canceled for? We thought about it for a while, 264 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: and we'll level with you, this was a tough one. 265 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: We knew that whatever it was, it couldn't be too 266 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: bad because, let's be real, that could jeopardize the podcast. 267 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: You guys, the listeners a twelve year old fan. Our 268 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: producers are sound Guy Roman, the beach My Crushed Chris. 269 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: All of these things, they could be taken away from 270 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: us in a heartbeat if we went too far with 271 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: this cancelation. We thought about the types of things that 272 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: get people canceled. One kind of stood out naturally doing 273 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: an impression. We talked about it. What constitutes a mean 274 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: cancellable impression of someone? That it has to be someone 275 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: I think that is fundamentally different from you. Yeah, I 276 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: think it. I think it's often when you present a 277 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: caricature of a person, and that's sort of what makes 278 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: it offensive is because you're not taking in all of 279 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: their um, your equalities, and the things that make them special. 280 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: You're kind of painting broad strokes. So I would say, then, 281 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: then in this sense, it's like it should be something 282 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: that you actually don't know a lot about. Interesting. I 283 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: know you, you're you're sweetie, and so you'll end up 284 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: painting with the colors of a humane bush for every color, 285 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: absolutely every color invited and celebrated. But if we choose 286 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: we choose a type of person who I don't know 287 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: a lot about. Yes, um, you, we're removing your safety net. 288 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: You don't know. Yeah, what what we're going to see 289 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: is actually just something very ignorant. Absolutely, okay, absolutely, that's 290 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: really good. Yes, okay, that's really good. So, so you're 291 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: going to do an impression of a caricature of a 292 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: person or a type of person, and it's going to 293 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: be ignorant. I think. So, yeah, bingo, we decided that 294 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: I would do an impression of someone irish. I don't 295 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: want to sound like an ignorant ass, but I really 296 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: didn't know a lot about the Irish people. What were 297 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: they really doing over there? No one could say so, Yes, 298 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: doing an impression of the Irish it is. But before 299 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: unrolling the red carpet to the world and letting this 300 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: impression strut its stuff, man we here, man here, we 301 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: wanted to take it out for a test drive, making 302 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: sure it was in that sweet spot of offensive but 303 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: not so offensive that we lose everything, including you guys, 304 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: the listen and now an ad break. The ad break 305 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: is over. When it came to testing things out, we 306 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: had the perfect group of people are late people focus 307 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: group from season one, whom we always gathered via Zoo. 308 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: I am a late person. I am a late person. 309 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: I am a late person. I am a late person, 310 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: and I am a late person at my core, with 311 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: every fiber of my being. In case you don't remember, 312 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: we had originally gathered a group of string years that 313 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: made up our focus group. These people were absolute rock stars, 314 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: and they were always a great sounding board for our 315 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: new and sometimes controversial ideas. The only problem with them 316 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: was well they were sometimes late. Okay, so obviously it 317 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: is twelve two. The meeting was set for twelve so, 318 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: needless to say, something's never change. I think you know 319 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: five minutes is yeah, okay, so should we should start 320 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: at twelve o five late? People never learn no offense. 321 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: Since it had been about a year since we had 322 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: last spoken to them, we asked everyone to go around 323 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: and give us an update read their lateness, and in 324 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: order to maintain the order, we reinstated the original rule 325 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: of begetting your turn by saying either to jump off 326 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: that or just to pivot off that. Hi, my name 327 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: is Heather, and I would have to say that I 328 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: am more late than I was the prior year because 329 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: I have a lot more obligations now and I have 330 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: to deal with traffic again. So um, just to pivot 331 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: off that. Um, I'm Chris. My last year has been 332 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: just an absolute roller coaster, and I think I'm about 333 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: as late as I was before, and not much has 334 00:27:50,600 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: really changed in that. Hi Chris, God, I'm so awkward. Anna, 335 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: It's okay, just to jump off that. Um, I'm Dylan Blow. 336 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: I think now I'm I'm more on time. I've had 337 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: to you know, I had to get a job, and 338 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: now i'm you know, I'm I'm subject to make sure 339 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: i'm I'm punctual. So I think I think there's been 340 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: a bit of an art for me and that now 341 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm less late. We wasted no time. Kyle left 342 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: the room and I readied the group for what they 343 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: were about to see, and if I'm being honest, I 344 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: readied myself as well. So we really appreciate you coming 345 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: here today. We're now going to show you something and 346 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: really make sure you listen to what you feared, and 347 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: then we're gonna ask you some follow up questions to 348 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: take it away. I'm from Ireland and I my grandfa 349 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: I grandparts. It's potatoes for a living and later opened 350 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: the business for friend friend's There's honestly nothing more that 351 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: I need to add. I think the clip really speaks 352 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: for itself. I would just like to note that when 353 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: Kyle delivered her impression, she was wearing a beanie. Before 354 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: she delivered her impression, she was not wearing a beanie. 355 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was very interesting. I said it before, 356 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: and I'll go ahead and say it again. Kyle's one 357 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: of the most interesting women in the world. And potatos 358 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: because that's where our family. What did they win? I 359 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: think that did not I don't think you can do 360 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,239 Speaker 1: it again. Um. We then opened it up to our 361 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: late people focus group, what did they think about Kyle's impression, 362 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: because we needed to know for sure that this was 363 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: enough to get her canceled. I mean, as Kyle's friend, 364 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: I gotta say I can't just have her doing that 365 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: for nothing. Okay, thank you so much for watching that. 366 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: So our question to you is, uh, first and foremost 367 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: and most simply, we want to know what you just 368 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: saw and heard was offensive. So let's go around and 369 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: order simple yes or no for now. Um. And just 370 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: to pivot off that, that system is someone place, UM, 371 00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: go ahead, they didn't hold back, Just to pivot off that. 372 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: I think what I just saw and heard was a 373 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: bit of a cultural melonge roller coaster that I felt 374 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: slightly appropriated. Um, I I would wasn't totally unoffended. I 375 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: would be concerned about others around me being affected. Let's 376 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: say that, UM, just to jump off of that, I yeah, 377 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: I just it was so strange. I do relate to 378 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: what my previous participant said about wondering if people around 379 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: me would be offended. But that's assuming that they, you know, 380 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 1: weren't as confused as I am about the sort of strange, 381 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: vulgar display that we were just witnessed too, So thanks, 382 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: just just a pop up off that I didn't feel offended. 383 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: I thought the choice of of wearing a beanie to 384 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: portray being Irish was a strong choice, and the commitment 385 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: to I guess you'd call it the trill of the 386 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: Boys was I think there was a lot of intentionality there. 387 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: Ah yeah, huh. It seemed like Kyle's impression actually had 388 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: left people more confused than offended. Plus one guy loved 389 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: Kyle's choice of wearing a beanie. He thought it added 390 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: to the performance. Before we excuse the group, I had 391 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: one last question for them. We are in the process 392 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: of trying to get Kyle canceled, and so we're work 393 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: shopping a few ways that that might happen, and so 394 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: this is UM. It's a work in progress. Does anyone 395 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: have the suggestions for UM other ways to get Kyle canceled? 396 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe UM committing hard on on like 397 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: social media or Twitter, just just building building a universe 398 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: of this being Kyle's indignant truth to share, doubling down 399 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: and just being real unlikable I think is a good 400 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: way to go ahead and get a canceled. Now, that 401 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: was interesting. Dylan proposed that we could use Twitter as 402 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: a venue for this undertaking. Thinking about it some more, 403 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: Twitter was actually the battleground for a lot of cancelations. 404 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: Oh like Joe. But if the Late People focus group 405 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: had shown us anything, it was that Kyle's take on 406 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: Irish people. He was not going to do it. Are 407 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: Late People focused group participants left and I pulled Kyle aside. Okay, 408 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: that didn't really work. I feel like your heart wasn't 409 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: you know. Well, I mean, I really was trying to 410 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: do the impression. But you know what I think it is. 411 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's that I don't know 412 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: if you know this about me, but my name is 413 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: Irish Zono, No, Kyle, I'm sorry. Irish. Kyle is Irishes 414 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: and I believe it means some kind of like two 415 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: river streams or something. Anyway, Um, my name, it means 416 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: two river streams. Well money just googling it, Kyle name. Yeah, 417 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: it means a narrow a sound, or a straight I 418 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: like that. Also, people have asked, um, is Kyle a 419 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: good name? Is Kyle a weird name? It's kind of 420 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: weird name? Um? Okay, So okay, so you're saying that 421 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: your name is Gaelic. Yeah, my name is my name 422 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: is Gaelic, and so is Gaelic the same as Irish. Truly, 423 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I think Scottish and Irish things kind 424 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 1: of big kind there a lot of we don't really 425 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: the same way back one place in our points absolutely, 426 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: um but basically that and I also do love potatoes, 427 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: and so I think that's what was hard about it 428 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: and why the impression didn't work is because I actually 429 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: think that being Irish is a part of me, and 430 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: there's actually more than I thought that I knew about. Interesting, 431 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: you're too close to the sword coming from within? Yeah, 432 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 1: I think they go back to the drawing board. Damn 433 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: drawing board. My heart wasn't in it. Because I myself 434 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: was connected to the Irish people. It made it impossible 435 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: to have the kind of distance necessary to make that 436 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: kind of crude observation we were looking to make. Plus, 437 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: Irishness wasn't really an evergreen subject. It seemed like to 438 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: get canceled, your finger had to be on the polls. 439 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: It had to feel more current than this. The one 440 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: good thing that came out of this meeting of the 441 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: minds was that one of our late people focus group 442 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: participants had given us a really great tip. Twitter was 443 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: a good place to get canceled. No, it was the 444 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: place to get canceled, from politicians to comedians, two authors, 445 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: to that guy whose name you don't even know in 446 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: your office. What did he do? Kyle, you don't even 447 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: want to know. If you were getting canceled, chances are 448 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: you were on Twitter. But what would Kyle tweet about? Honestly, 449 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 1: Kyle hadn't even tweeted since two thousand seventeen. Her Twitter, 450 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: it's like the Australian countryside, barren, with gusts of wind 451 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: passing by, ever so often, carrying with them a vague 452 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: murmur of life. Kyle stamped on a flyer for Mars 453 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: Showman studio sitting admission. He's fifteen dollars doors at seven thirty, 454 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: but the show starts at eight fifteen. Inexplicably thought of that. 455 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: So yeah, it had been a while since she had 456 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: personally tweeted, But I thought this was actually great because 457 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: maybe it would make more of an impact, and maybe, 458 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: just maybe we were about to be looking at a 459 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: canceled woman, and then something happened. Will Smith takes a 460 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: swing at Chris Rock on stage. At the Oscars. It 461 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: all went down after Chris made a crack at Will's wife, 462 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: Will Smith, striking him in the face. Overnight, Chris Rock 463 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: breaking his silence in the wake of the Will Smith 464 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: Oscar slap to be continued.
