Speaker 1: whitesburag Kentucky, to the stages of the Kennedy Center. It's
Speaker 1: Brandy Boza. Hey, Brandy, you're a fine girl. What a
Speaker 1: good wife you would be. I'll just sing the actual song, No,
Speaker 1: but you brow one for me. That's fine shit shatter style,
Speaker 1: just like real meaningful brandy, A fine girl. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: a good wife you would be. I'm a filthy sailor
Speaker 1: and I like may boat more than you. And you'll
Speaker 1: deal with it because most men are bad. What a
Speaker 1: time the seventies were where you could just have like
Speaker 1: a weird little sea shanty song that was like a
Speaker 1: charted yeah, really good charts. Yeah charted Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Looking Glass Brandy by looking Glass is a pretty big deal,
Speaker 1: big song. Yeah, they're they're one hit wonder but there
Speaker 1: And I've listened to the rest of Looking Glasses albums
Speaker 1: to be like, is there anything else here? Any answers? No?
Speaker 1: Any other gems? Are all of their songs like about
Speaker 1: a forgotten time of people like living in sea villages?
Speaker 1: It feels like it. Yeah, I wish I wish it
Speaker 1: had been more of a concept album. Yeah, but no,
Speaker 1: I think it was just um ludes is what was
Speaker 1: happening at the time, right, Yeah, I never did ludes.
Speaker 1: I think ludes were like gone by the time I
Speaker 1: was doing drugs, But like that, is that the explanation
Speaker 1: for the seventies and like the because like there was
Speaker 1: also like a bunch of led Zeppelin albums around that
Speaker 1: same time that were like taking place in like pagan times. Yes, partially,
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, like was there something about ludes and
Speaker 1: just like mentally existing in a different time. I think
Speaker 1: probably I don't fully know what a lude did. Is
Speaker 1: it like a is it an upper or a downer
Speaker 1: or a way down, a way downer. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: one I only know it from Wolf of Wall Street
Speaker 1: where time stand up. Yeah, he yes, that's like the
Speaker 1: best scene in the whole movie. I used to have
Speaker 1: like a whole what I learned about coeludes when I
Speaker 1: used to be creating a really vast background story to
Speaker 1: my dog. I wrote in some villains for him called
Speaker 1: the lude dudes. The lude dudes were always after him
Speaker 1: because he had a capsule full of ludes in his backyard,
Speaker 1: and the loot dudes were jones in for it. But
Speaker 1: they're but they're downers. So if the loud dudes are
Speaker 1: operating at full capacity, you know they're moving pretty slow.
Speaker 1: They're not very viable opponents. Just the easiest people to
Speaker 1: have age like they take zombies and they're like slow
Speaker 1: zombies too fast. We needed to slow that down a
Speaker 1: little bit, put that on extra easy. Nice. A drug
Speaker 1: time capsule is an interesting idea that I guess not
Speaker 1: all drugs would hold up very well, but at least ludes.
Speaker 1: I think we're pharmaceutical, right, I think, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that they had a pretty good they had a pretty
Speaker 1: good shelf life. And and even I feel like if
Speaker 1: you want ludes bad enough, you'd be willing to take
Speaker 1: a chance of having a sour loud or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, all right, Well, that's all we're talking
Speaker 1: about today, is Brandy. We're going to get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about today. There is something
Speaker 1: going around called the fifteen minute city conspiracy theory that
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the fifteen minute city is an
Speaker 1: idea and then it is being turned into a conspiracy
Speaker 1: theory on the right. And I just want to talk
Speaker 1: about what how how great this idea could be, and
Speaker 1: just how how dumb the response is. But from the internet.
Speaker 1: Bad job, Internet, Yeah, do better. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about the Supreme Court student loan hearing. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand any of this shit. I
Speaker 1: feel like generally Supreme Court stuff is like people just
Speaker 1: like talking themselves down a weird like rabbit hole of
Speaker 1: like linguistic reasoning that doesn't totally like that. There's this
Speaker 1: thing called the Major Questions Doctrine that is like, this
Speaker 1: whole thing is now hinging on, and it's the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court being like, if it's a big enough deal, we
Speaker 1: don't have to listen to anyone. Is essentially the idea,
Speaker 1: but they it's like somehow get given it like legal precedent.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Well, we might talk about that.
Speaker 1: We'll see how we feel. There is a new Peter
Speaker 1: Pan live action movie, and it is the first of
Speaker 1: these animated live action Disney remakes that I'm actually kind
Speaker 1: of interested in. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about Chris Rock doing a live special on Netflix, because
Speaker 1: Netflix is just fully becoming They're like, what about live television?
Speaker 1: Did hear us out here? For a second you were
Speaker 1: saying Chris Rock was Peter Pan, And I was like intrigued,
Speaker 1: intrigued by that version. I know it would be intriguing.
Speaker 1: We might get to Mark Wahlberg, Like it seems like
Speaker 1: everyone just remembered that Mark Wahlberg is a piece of
Speaker 1: shit all at once, so I might even talk about that.
Speaker 1: And we're entering the Mark Wahlberg Forty Day Challenge, otherwise
Speaker 1: known as LENT. He went on The Today Show and
Speaker 1: the Lower Third during a segment in which he was
Speaker 1: absolutely talking about Lent, was labeled the Mark Wahlberg forty
Speaker 1: Bay Challenge, and I fucking hate Mark Wahlberg. And that's
Speaker 1: the greatest thing I've ever heard. That's so great. It
Speaker 1: didn't branding it as such because he is like America's
Speaker 1: top Catholic. Like, but amazingly, when the Pope came to Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: they're like, Mark Wahlberg should introduce the Pope, and he did.
Speaker 1: That's who America came up with. What a fuck. He's
Speaker 1: such a he's such a horrible person. And yet his
Speaker 1: rebrand of Lent, Yeah, I thought it was. It was
Speaker 1: pretty pretty powerful. M Is it any specifics or he's
Speaker 1: just like, you gotta not eat meat on Fridays or whatever.
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't watch the full segment. I don't like Dotsjack.
Speaker 1: I don't like what he has to say, but I
Speaker 1: do like that he wakes up at three in the morning.
Speaker 1: It just seems like, yeah, exactly as unhinged as you
Speaker 1: would think. But but we but the culture has chosen
Speaker 1: to love him anyways. Which I start waking up at
Speaker 1: two thirty in the morning just to make sure that
Speaker 1: I'm awake when Mark Wallberg wakes up so he doesn't
Speaker 1: have one over on me. Well, yeah, because you want
Speaker 1: to be Ted's favorite friend always of course. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: did google Mark Walberg forty j challenge and just a
Speaker 1: picture of him with the Black Friday or as sorry
Speaker 1: ash Wednesdays on his head. It's been a minute since
Speaker 1: I've done any of that. Shop. I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: which one is it? Well, I do the ashes on
Speaker 1: my head for a Black Friday? Yeah, yeah, seriously, yeah,
Speaker 1: and get ready it's my war paint. Well it confuses
Speaker 1: people just enough that you can slip in for that
Speaker 1: TV deal, you know what I mean. They're like, wait,
Speaker 1: what time of year is it? But he looks just
Speaker 1: annoyed in a black cross on his forehead. It's great.
Speaker 1: He always looks annoyed, exasperate, exasperated, His resting face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so all of that, some of that maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe more at first, Brandy, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history. I mean, within the last five minutes, I
Speaker 1: have googled Queludes and Mark Wahlberg. But before that this
Speaker 1: so it's been reigning in Los Angeles, and I, as
Speaker 1: I was stuck at home, like in the background just
Speaker 1: as white noise, I put on the bald eagle cams
Speaker 1: that are happening in Big Bear currently, so as I've
Speaker 1: just been watching them for several days, I've just been
Speaker 1: googling bald eagle facts because I just here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I want to relate all of my underrated, overrated, all
Speaker 1: of it is, all of it is about the eagles.
Speaker 1: I just need to put it all out there, because
Speaker 1: here's the thing. These eagles they're doing it. They're amazing,
Speaker 1: They're very great birds. They're getting pelted with snow up
Speaker 1: there and overrated comment sections because I do not need
Speaker 1: people tell them these eagles how to eagle, like they
Speaker 1: know any better, which is why I went out of
Speaker 1: my way to like google a bunch of eagle facts.
Speaker 1: Because there's people that are like, they're these two eagles
Speaker 1: are laying on two eggs trying to hatch them, and
Speaker 1: everyone thinks if they go to get a fish that
Speaker 1: their eggs are freezing and they're going to die, and
Speaker 1: are telling these eagles that they don't know how to
Speaker 1: be eagles. I it's a people are comment. There's people
Speaker 1: in the comments section being like these eagles suck at yes,
Speaker 1: sitting on Yeah, it sounds like relationship TikTok, like that
Speaker 1: were like or any parenting video I've ever seen where
Speaker 1: they're like Nope, there's no way, wouldn't be me, or
Speaker 1: like you don't love your husband there, but they're bullying
Speaker 1: the eagles who would not possibly receive their feedback. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're putting it all on the eagles. And there are people.
Speaker 1: So the eagles names are Jackie and Shadow and which
Speaker 1: there's two very different vibed names, so I don't ye know, Wow,
Speaker 1: definitely two different people got to name those, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: But jack is Jackie the male ego or eagle she is,
Speaker 1: she is the lady Jackie is the lady Shadow. Oh
Speaker 1: that's like an army girl that marries a goth husband.
Speaker 1: Shadow exactly. And here's the thing like Jackie will be
Speaker 1: on the nest for like hours on end, and then
Speaker 1: she will get hungry and go get a fish, and
Speaker 1: then everyone will yell at her. But then then Shadow
Speaker 1: will come in and he will sit on the eggs
Speaker 1: for like five minutes, and everyone's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what a great husband. He's the best bird. People. People
Speaker 1: are losing. People are putting so much onto these eagles,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, they're eagles. They they know what to do.
Speaker 1: Leave them alone. This is not a gendered thing. This
Speaker 1: is not I'm sorry your husband left you. That is
Speaker 1: not shadows problem. I'm sorry shallow Shadow is paying his alimony.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry he's not fucking the waitress down the street instead.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know why. I love the idea of
Speaker 1: anyone of any gender watching this dynamic and being like,
Speaker 1: why can't my spouse be more like Shadow? Like the
Speaker 1: eagle that's bully. What is happening on the online It's amazing.
Speaker 1: There's a woman named Sandy that is writing like daily
Speaker 1: updates on these eagles, and like a couple days ago,
Speaker 1: she had to be like, you know, the negativity in
Speaker 1: the comments is not helping the eagles. They know how
Speaker 1: to eagle better than us. It is our job just
Speaker 1: to observe what's happening. Yes, so for her. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: also Shadow loves me. Shadows an incredible lover, and you
Speaker 1: couldn't possibly understand you couldn't possibly understand him. That's exactly
Speaker 1: truly insane, so wild. I did not think it was
Speaker 1: going to get this deep, but I've just been watching
Speaker 1: people just have brainworms about eagles that are just being
Speaker 1: beautiful and just making hatching eggs. That's fine, these eggs
Speaker 1: don't hatch, They're going to cancel the eagles, that's right. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: well maybe if they've been eagling a little bit different,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be happening. Oh god, I am gonna watch.
Speaker 1: Hearing stuff like this always scares me because I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: if if a couple of things go wrong in my life,
Speaker 1: I could be that commenter. Yeah, like that could be
Speaker 1: that eagle, just like on a live video feed parenting.
Speaker 1: If I choose the wrong potion when the when the
Speaker 1: witch shows up in my house, that could be me.
Speaker 1: That's pretty scary. Yeah, what is something you think is underrated? Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean just like Sandy's she's just not getting the
Speaker 1: do that she deserves. I think paying it to like
Speaker 1: just yeah, Sandy's up recaps, Sandy's Eagles recaps deserve more
Speaker 1: than they're getting because they don't have a comment section.
Speaker 1: And I think people are just only are interested in
Speaker 1: parts of the Internet where their voices can be heard
Speaker 1: and not just reading and learning. Because here's the thing.
Speaker 1: At first, at first, like this eagle Jackie was sitting
Speaker 1: on the nest and she was getting pelted with snow,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh God, is she in trouble?
Speaker 1: And then I googled and I saw that actually, eagles
Speaker 1: have several layers of feathers that keep them extreme warm
Speaker 1: and their basic body temperatures one hundred and five degrees
Speaker 1: and they thrive and sto snow. And I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so she's fine as opposed to being like, somebody help her.
Speaker 1: Just google a fact once underrated facts. I want somebody
Speaker 1: do something. Evolution did it turns out, yeah, they always
Speaker 1: seem to be in fairly inhospitable territory, like yeah, they're
Speaker 1: like on mountains and shit, yeah they live in Alaska
Speaker 1: and stuff. They're fine in Big Bear, right, Yeah, But
Speaker 1: it's all these it's just all la people being like
Speaker 1: that looks so cold. It was fifty here the other day,
Speaker 1: so I can identify. I know she doesn't have a
Speaker 1: fashion scarf. What will she do? Like what if the
Speaker 1: eagle was wearing an Infinity scarf? Maybe if she had
Speaker 1: done that, the exode hatched a little bit fast. Exactly.
Speaker 1: I do have to give a shout out to the
Speaker 1: name Shadow, because there's a there's a DJ named Shadow
Speaker 1: Skithens when I was young who did like he was
Speaker 1: like adult contemporary Casey Cason, and that that name always
Speaker 1: stuck with me. Is like very over the top, but
Speaker 1: like kind of dope, like just Shadows Stevens saw. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say Shadow is an underrated
Speaker 1: name to give your eagle or a child or DJ. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's an overrated name for a dog. Probably
Speaker 1: there was a lot of dogs named Shadow, yes, but
Speaker 1: but what about a son and that that is a
Speaker 1: powerful um. I would like more Shadows than Brashton's going forward.
Speaker 1: So people, can you know fix that you really hear
Speaker 1: the name that rashed him? Yeah, yelled at a kid
Speaker 1: in a subway like four years and that was like Brashton,
Speaker 1: you couldn't decide between Brandon and Ashton. Just we don't
Speaker 1: need mash up names, overrated mash up names. Just pick one.
Speaker 1: Stick to your decision, trust yourself. You're making an indecisive
Speaker 1: child from Rashton is a very strong decision. That's just
Speaker 1: like you. You are, like they need to be a
Speaker 1: snowboarder or a professional surfer or nothing. That's it. There
Speaker 1: are certain names where are just like, well, their fate
Speaker 1: is sealed. I guess. I guess Shadow would be one
Speaker 1: of those as well. So maybe I should shut the
Speaker 1: fuck up on Kidow. So it is like Merlin, Like
Speaker 1: there's a Merlin. You can't just name someone Merlin. They
Speaker 1: have to be a music teacher or live in the woods.
Speaker 1: A baby named Merlin is really wild. I honestly, baby Merlin.
Speaker 1: I don't hate that idea, but it is a very
Speaker 1: kind of a scary thing to do to a child. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then they just go with Merle to like kind of
Speaker 1: whatever whatever their parents don't want them to do. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the fifth teen minute City and other stuff,
Speaker 1: and we're back. And yeah, so you may have noticed
Speaker 1: online if you're terminally online that there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of talk about fifteen city the fifteen minute city concept lately,
Speaker 1: which it's just a like urban planning term, but according
Speaker 1: to the Internet, it is a dystopian plot to enslave
Speaker 1: the masses. The idea is pretty hard to argue with.
Speaker 1: It's that people should be within a roughly fifteen minute
Speaker 1: walk or bike ride from the things they need like food, schooling,
Speaker 1: and healthcare. That way people aren't forced to drive everywhere
Speaker 1: and further destroy the planet. It's an idea that's like
Speaker 1: been popular in urban planning circles for a long time time.
Speaker 1: It's become a key part of some countries political policies,
Speaker 1: like at Paris, they have a mayoral candidate who based
Speaker 1: her twenty twenty reelection campaign on a plan to create
Speaker 1: fifteen minute cities. But some people are responding to this
Speaker 1: by claiming that it will create like sci fi districts
Speaker 1: where people will be fined for leaving, and it's just
Speaker 1: like all they've just resorted to fiction to make it
Speaker 1: like kind of scared, which I think is because it's
Speaker 1: this is like a powerful idea and it's also very
Speaker 1: nonprofitable or like goes against the grain of like the
Speaker 1: modern kind of capitalists ethos, where you know, just like
Speaker 1: organize things based on whatever's going to make the most money.
Speaker 1: But I just I think that like if we keep
Speaker 1: pushing with this idea, it will become enormously popular because
Speaker 1: like just think about like all my favorite like parts
Speaker 1: of dystopian movies. They really come back to And I've
Speaker 1: said this before, but like it's really a fantasy about
Speaker 1: having a walkable city, Like that's yea dystopian movies are
Speaker 1: about it's like man, like all the most like iconic
Speaker 1: scenes from I am legend, the ones that I remember
Speaker 1: are not like the zombie ones. They are him playing golf,
Speaker 1: like walking down the middle of the street in Times
Speaker 1: Square and like a deer like running by him, or
Speaker 1: like the walking Dead. Like the most iconic images them
Speaker 1: like walking into a city on an abandoned highway and
Speaker 1: like just there being no cars. And I think they
Speaker 1: just think our imagination like craves a world without traffic
Speaker 1: and cars more than people realize. And just like how
Speaker 1: much this would I don't know, like just make make service.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it doesn't really resolve making these
Speaker 1: like serve. This is more affordable for people, but like
Speaker 1: wacka bole cities just and having access to things nearby
Speaker 1: is like if their access is such a huge issue,
Speaker 1: it's so I mean, I guess I'm not surprised that
Speaker 1: the backlash has been is coming from where it's coming
Speaker 1: from and is being like put in that way, but
Speaker 1: it's just so like, I don't know, anytime a simple
Speaker 1: useful concept like this that would also just be like
Speaker 1: lovely too is argued against, it feels like there's so
Speaker 1: much internal contradiction because like I think like a lot
Speaker 1: of like super capitalists are always like, oh, we need
Speaker 1: to return to something, which this would be like fucking
Speaker 1: villages and like that communities, but they're like, well, not
Speaker 1: that kind of return, like things should still be far away,
Speaker 1: and like you know, poorer neighborhoods shouldn't have access to
Speaker 1: basic things and blah blah blah blah blah. It's so
Speaker 1: wild because like, so I live in I live in
Speaker 1: the Eagle Rock here in Los ange List, and like
Speaker 1: my my town like is a little walkable city. I
Speaker 1: rarely leave. I can walk to anything or ride my
Speaker 1: bike to basically anything I need. Yeah, oh I can
Speaker 1: get to that it's less than a mile. For me,
Speaker 1: I got a Chucky cheese less than a mile. That's
Speaker 1: the dream. That's an American dream for everybody. Chuck e cheese,
Speaker 1: that's I don't know, the one an eagle Rock that's
Speaker 1: next to the Target and next to the fish market. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's great, but like it, it's amazing too because everybody
Speaker 1: is like very like involved in like wanting all these
Speaker 1: businesses to thrive. We all know the people that work there,
Speaker 1: like people I've like friends with, my neighbors, like I
Speaker 1: feel like I have an actual community, and like other
Speaker 1: parts of the city I've lived in, I haven't had that.
Speaker 1: And it's like it's it's great. There's nothing wrong with this.
Speaker 1: It's it's the way that you should be. It's live
Speaker 1: live locally. I went over to the Silver Lake last
Speaker 1: night for the first time in like months because I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I guess I could go eat somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Why not, right? And so, what have you done now
Speaker 1: that they like put a tracking bracelet on you and
Speaker 1: don't let you leave your district, Because that's what I mean,
Speaker 1: that is what they're trying to do. Yeah, yeah, clearly,
Speaker 1: but that Yeah, some extremists have misinterpreted the idea. The
Speaker 1: plan merely gives people the freedom to live locally, does
Speaker 1: not force them to do so. But Jamie, it's a
Speaker 1: really good point about like returning to something, because that
Speaker 1: does seem to be the thing that the right always
Speaker 1: wants to do. But it's like a very specific period
Speaker 1: that didn't actually really exist, but like it's in their mind.
Speaker 1: It's like how the nineteen fifties and early nineteen sixties
Speaker 1: were with like a bunch of houses that look the
Speaker 1: same and everybody driving to work, like everyone had a
Speaker 1: Transatlantic accent, like ya that never happened at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the twentieth century. Like cars were that this novelty
Speaker 1: that only rich people could afford, and they were wildly
Speaker 1: unpopular because people were like, you keep running over our kids.
Speaker 1: Rich people, well, like you're just driving way too fast.
Speaker 1: So like there were all these pushes by cities to
Speaker 1: make it illegal to make cars that went over like
Speaker 1: twenty miles per hour, and the politicians and car companies
Speaker 1: conspired to like cram this poison pill into our world.
Speaker 1: And now we have this like world that is completely
Speaker 1: like gritted off by you know, cars and streets and
Speaker 1: like we just like, you know, my kids can't play
Speaker 1: outside of the house without me worrying they're going to
Speaker 1: get run over by a car. Like we're prisoners, like
Speaker 1: on our own blocks because we're hemmed in by roads.
Speaker 1: And I just I think it like weighs on us,
Speaker 1: like metaphysically more than we realize because we just don't
Speaker 1: We just want to be able to like run free,
Speaker 1: you know, for sure. For sure. Well, and it's wild too,
Speaker 1: because it's like so many like when you drive through
Speaker 1: like small town America and stuff, like most small towns
Speaker 1: have a main street where everything is, and like you know,
Speaker 1: you can drive or you know, to there and then
Speaker 1: walk and do whatever you need to, even if it's
Speaker 1: a kind of a big area like it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's extremely stupid to have a problem with this, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, the only the only specific question. I mean
Speaker 1: I would have like more specific questions about like how
Speaker 1: this would look and like how I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand why there's questions about it, but this angle
Speaker 1: of like interrogating it is so disingenuous where I would
Speaker 1: be more afraid of like a Rick Caruso kind of
Speaker 1: yablution where it's like, well, every neighborhood is a very
Speaker 1: specialized mall now, and like only certain people are allowed
Speaker 1: access to it. But it's like the idea that as
Speaker 1: it's being presented, it's not specific enough to even like,
Speaker 1: I mean, those are just like questions I would have. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no exactly. It's like you still want your mom and pops.
Speaker 1: I think maybe there's something to people like not being
Speaker 1: like I don't how dare you take the choice of
Speaker 1: going to all these different places away for me? And
Speaker 1: it's like no one's doing that. They just want some
Speaker 1: to be a lot easier to get to, and then
Speaker 1: maybe that's just the one you go to. It's nice
Speaker 1: to be a local out of place, right are you guys?
Speaker 1: Like how do you have like a cashier anywhere that
Speaker 1: like is like hey, how you doing, or like recognize
Speaker 1: as you guys. It's the best. Yeah. I got to
Speaker 1: introduce my friends to my bodega guy this week and
Speaker 1: it rock. Yeah, he's really gass to be up. I
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting it. It was awesome saying it's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, for sure, they're legitimate concerns with like any
Speaker 1: implementation of this especially like if it's just being done
Speaker 1: unregulated by American capitalism, the course, like inequality is going
Speaker 1: to become a big part of it, and it will
Speaker 1: be very bad for poor areas, like like with anything,
Speaker 1: but of course the current situation is already bad for
Speaker 1: poor areas. And I don't know that there was like
Speaker 1: this moment during the pandemic where New York City was like,
Speaker 1: maybe we should just not have cars because it's like
Speaker 1: really nice in Manhattan when like there there aren't cars
Speaker 1: and like all these streets are walkable, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: there was some massive concerted effort by the you know,
Speaker 1: local commerce like whatever to to push back on that,
Speaker 1: but it just feels like, I don't know, I think
Speaker 1: people want this more than we realize. Like if there
Speaker 1: if there was just like a no car like a big, sprawling,
Speaker 1: no car like neighborhood in the middle of any city,
Speaker 1: like it would become like such a fun place to
Speaker 1: like be a part of, like any city. Cities where
Speaker 1: there's like just walk streets like that, those become so
Speaker 1: much better than like places you want to be more
Speaker 1: than just stroves like street street road combinations that are
Speaker 1: just like that's that's an actual like urban planning term
Speaker 1: where they Yeah, well it's it's like a massive Yeah,
Speaker 1: me and Roman where what was Roman saying? He was
Speaker 1: saying the funniest thing the other day. No, it's it's
Speaker 1: this idea that like American cities like have these things
Speaker 1: like practically like this should be a street like just
Speaker 1: given where it is that there are houses along it,
Speaker 1: but they turn it into a road or vice versa.
Speaker 1: I forget like which is which, but like one is
Speaker 1: like you know, with speed limits like above fifty miles
Speaker 1: per hour and traffic lights and complicated like multiple lanes
Speaker 1: and shit like that, and they just like kind of
Speaker 1: crammed those in where they don't belong and every every
Speaker 1: part of the valley, that's what you're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people se in a residential area constantly. Yeah yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's just like no reason that this be a conversation
Speaker 1: that people are open to. I feel like obviously there
Speaker 1: are I think there are like plenty of like red
Speaker 1: flags of like how would this be implemented to like
Speaker 1: best serve everybody? But that, But it's like you've got
Speaker 1: fucking Jordan Peterson like against this as like a concept
Speaker 1: or whatever. You're well, I don't know. That's not Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that is who popularized the panic. He tweeted about
Speaker 1: the tyrannical fifteen minute City, and it soon became like
Speaker 1: this thing. I think the people that have problems with
Speaker 1: it are the ones whose bodega guys don't like them.
Speaker 1: I think if your local people are like hmmm, and
Speaker 1: they're not like, they don't want to deal with you
Speaker 1: in a regular basis, then I think you having to
Speaker 1: deal with that same person and maybe have to like
Speaker 1: change your behavior and be slightly more agreeable is extremely
Speaker 1: offensive to you. So disliked in their own communities don't
Speaker 1: want more accessible communities, people start throwing tomatoes at them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly right. Yes, we will be bringing back the stockades unfortunately,
Speaker 1: and we'll just be throwing tomatoes at Jordan Peterson for
Speaker 1: forty five minutes a day. That will be his job.
Speaker 1: I would love that. Let's get battle store at the
Speaker 1: Americana Open. Our writer JM was researching this and he said,
Speaker 1: this is how he found out that he unfortunately lives
Speaker 1: very close to Jordan Peterson. And also, Jordan Peterson lives
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes away from anything he'd ever need, like a
Speaker 1: fifteen minute walk away from anything you'd ever need, so
Speaker 1: of course, of course, yeah, yeah, but he hasn't tipped
Speaker 1: anybody in like fifteen years, so everybody gives him bad service. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, well what do you of course, like just
Speaker 1: I don't know, just go back to letting your daughter
Speaker 1: feju meet, like yeah, and well it wasn't quayluds, but
Speaker 1: it was something else that. Yeah, Virginia Slims, three major
Speaker 1: groups of the nineteen seventies, and a gallon of milk?
Speaker 1: What are you? My dad? He was on benzos unfortunately,
Speaker 1: so yeah, not your dad, Jordan Peterson. The conspiratorial panic
Speaker 1: over this theory is manifesting in the real world in
Speaker 1: Oxfordshire in the UK, where they were like planning to
Speaker 1: filter traffic down to be like make their city more livable.
Speaker 1: Led to a bunch of discussion. There's a large protest
Speaker 1: and like a lot of people showed up being like
Speaker 1: no fifteen minute neighborhoods, Like with signs saying fifteen minute neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: How long did it take them to get there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And then in Toronto, McMansion developer and anti lockdown person
Speaker 1: is running for mayor and claiming that the fifteen minute
Speaker 1: city idea is part of a larger conspiracy by a
Speaker 1: global elite to limit personal freedom. And this all all like,
Speaker 1: I'm just wanting us to go back to a time
Speaker 1: when people were like, hey, rich people stopped running over
Speaker 1: our kids, Like when that was common sense. That like,
Speaker 1: now that's a strictly ideological uh yeah yeah. And also
Speaker 1: he's a real estate developer, that that guy, so of
Speaker 1: course he is. Yeah, that's so depressing. Supreme Court. What
Speaker 1: do we think, fans thumbs up or thumbs down? The
Speaker 1: Supreme Court? We love him, do we, folks? They have
Speaker 1: awesome merch. Yeah, you say awesome merch. Yeah. The last
Speaker 1: time I was in Portland, I went to the girl
Speaker 1: Boss store, I don't remember what it was called, and
Speaker 1: I got a whole shelf of our merch. You know, yeah, great, right,
Speaker 1: I think it's great. Yeah, you know, obviously we should
Speaker 1: abolish it. But what hijiens are they up to today? Well,
Speaker 1: they're deciding whether the government is allowed to forgive student
Speaker 1: loan debt or you know, forgive a portion of student
Speaker 1: loan debt, as Joe Biden was hoping to do. And
Speaker 1: so there are two cases that they're looking at ones
Speaker 1: brought by two private citizens who are arguing that the
Speaker 1: administration unfairly excluded some, including those who have commercially held loans,
Speaker 1: from debt cancelation. So be good. Yeah, like that's and
Speaker 1: also that the administration pushed it through without allowing for
Speaker 1: a period of public comment. Yes good, but yes, let's
Speaker 1: talk about that. The other challenge is from six Republican
Speaker 1: led states in Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, and South Carolina,
Speaker 1: claiming that the Department of Education doesn't have the authority
Speaker 1: cancel student loan debt. And so, I mean, people who
Speaker 1: understand legal stuff are like it doesn't like it should
Speaker 1: be a question of like how this is harming them,
Speaker 1: Like that's supposed to be the first question that gets
Speaker 1: asked is like, okay, you're bringing this case, how is
Speaker 1: this affecting you? But instead, because we have this super
Speaker 1: conservative Supreme Court, it's fallen under the Major Questions doctrine,
Speaker 1: which is just a legal doctrine invented by Republicans that
Speaker 1: allows the court to tighten its leash on government agencies
Speaker 1: in matters of quote critical political and economic significance. So basically,
Speaker 1: the Court no longer defers to the government if it
Speaker 1: has a major question that sounds like a lazy, like
Speaker 1: bad b Marvel movie point the major questions doctrine, You're like, yeah, totally,
Speaker 1: I think I think Marvel would have workshopped it, even
Speaker 1: I guess Golden age Marvel would have workshopped it a
Speaker 1: little bit more, maybe punched that up a little bit. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But they've all already used the major questions doctrine to
Speaker 1: strike down at least three Biden administration policies that the
Speaker 1: Republican Party opposes, and it was a key part of
Speaker 1: the brief written by Republican States challenging the program, and
Speaker 1: so far during the hearings, it's been invoked repeatedly by
Speaker 1: conservative justice is like John Roberts, who likened Biden's student
Speaker 1: loan cancelation to Trump's plan to deport the Dreamers. Again, Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: where who's being harmed? Here? Is it? But like I
Speaker 1: would at least like to hear them say who they
Speaker 1: think is being harmed, because it's like rich people who
Speaker 1: are getting the interest payments. I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's the corporations who like have the bundled
Speaker 1: loan debt you know, and like bought it for billions
Speaker 1: of dollars five years ago or whatever. Yeah, that they've
Speaker 1: probably already made this point with with the interest. It's
Speaker 1: all just been fake money that they've just like been
Speaker 1: pulling from people. Anyway, if I was friends with any
Speaker 1: of these paralegals, because they so Supreme Court justices, they've
Speaker 1: got a team that works around them. Switch means they
Speaker 1: have some relatively young people that work near them. And
Speaker 1: if you know anybody that knows anybody that is friends
Speaker 1: of the paralegal, how about we blackmail them, to blackmail
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court justices to push this through and maybe
Speaker 1: everything else too. But I think this is a way
Speaker 1: in because like now they're messing with your money. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: it's my theory. Like I think it's we just need
Speaker 1: to Like there's bad photos of these people out there,
Speaker 1: let's get them. Get them. The young people who work
Speaker 1: for Brett Kavanaugh are probably the worst, most boring, but yeah,
Speaker 1: they probably do have like weird somebody knows them and
Speaker 1: has a bad photo of them. This is a it's
Speaker 1: all a pyramid scheme to get to taking down the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Definitely black photographs of them holding a leash
Speaker 1: that has a human at the other end. Yeah, sure, exactly,
Speaker 1: fret hazing or something. Yeah, let's get those photos. God,
Speaker 1: who who knows what? Yeah? What what the CAVNAT employees
Speaker 1: are sitting on. It's so it's like, I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: this is extremely frustrating from a student perspective too, but
Speaker 1: it's just like a continued um My, my younger brother
Speaker 1: has a ton of student debt and is like not
Speaker 1: only you know, frustrated to see this conversation like start
Speaker 1: and stop and start and stop in so many ways,
Speaker 1: but it becomes like a whole second job to have
Speaker 1: to uh like try to figure out what the fuck
Speaker 1: is going on what you qualify for versus what you
Speaker 1: don't because like when I don't know, like we've all
Speaker 1: had student loans. When you're getting student loans, you're not
Speaker 1: really I mean in the same way that like you're
Speaker 1: not really taught how to do your taxes or other
Speaker 1: ship where you're getting completely fucked u. And it's like
Speaker 1: just not understanding how it works with student loans. It's
Speaker 1: like I had no idea what the difference between a
Speaker 1: private and a public Like, like I was just like,
Speaker 1: this are what they're offering me and I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: go to school or like that's what. That's a whole
Speaker 1: separate issue. But it's so like it's so frustrating to
Speaker 1: see like students and people you know, who are way
Speaker 1: beyond student age to who are still sort of like
Speaker 1: hampered by these loans trying to figure out what they
Speaker 1: even fucking qualify for it. I mean, it's and unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I mean, like the Bidens administration does seem like they're
Speaker 1: making an honest effort to like push this through. It's
Speaker 1: just it's nuts. Yeah, it's insane. It's like I remember
Speaker 1: being eighteen in college and I signed up for a
Speaker 1: credit card because they gave me a T shirt that
Speaker 1: said the price is wrong, bitch, and I it messed
Speaker 1: up my credit for years, but I wanted that T shirt,
Speaker 1: you know, like that person should not be affected for years. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's like people outside, like just outside walk around colleges
Speaker 1: signing kids up for credit cards and you got like
Speaker 1: a funny T shirt if you signed up for it,
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh, I'm all, this is that's
Speaker 1: the same way you basically you're picking in student loans.
Speaker 1: That's the amount of thought that's really going into it
Speaker 1: is this how tasted Tease was profitable for so long
Speaker 1: they were like TI to a major credit card corporation. Wo,
Speaker 1: I wish I still had it, and that sure costs
Speaker 1: me a lot and then they put you in a
Speaker 1: situation where the price was wrong. But yeah, you know
Speaker 1: it was yeah what they were about to do. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: It's just more profitable for them to make our day
Speaker 1: to day lives as confusing as possible. Like the tax
Speaker 1: the fact that we have the tax paying like mess
Speaker 1: that we have and like every other country's just like
Speaker 1: we just send you a bill, like and then do
Speaker 1: you pay it? And if you have questions you can
Speaker 1: ask them, but like you you don't have to do
Speaker 1: the bureaucratic work that is required to like pay taxes
Speaker 1: and in our country like that, that's kind of create
Speaker 1: that's our job, like it's I mean, and it's just
Speaker 1: I don't really I mean, I honestly I don't understand
Speaker 1: like what the timeline on it. It looks like this
Speaker 1: is just sort of kicking the kicking the ball further
Speaker 1: down the field sort of yet again on this issue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's so like it it's like a lot of
Speaker 1: I guess, like right leading legislation and like centrist legislation
Speaker 1: as well. It just is so shortsighted, you know, because
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes I do feel like the American government
Speaker 1: and definitely the Supreme Court truly does act like there's
Speaker 1: only like eleven more habitable years on Earth and that's
Speaker 1: why they would make these decisions because it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you know it's on a long enough timeline. Then it's
Speaker 1: like you're actively discouraging the public to get more education,
Speaker 1: like and they're like, you're just trying to make you're
Speaker 1: you want a whole country of goofs. And then and
Speaker 1: then you know, constantly complain that your country's falling behind
Speaker 1: and um thought, you know whatever, it's all so contradictory
Speaker 1: and ridiculous. Well yeah, and then he put it on
Speaker 1: the person instead of like any institutions, and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're shamed for not doing the work or not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it benefits them to keep education as restricted to only
Speaker 1: the their wealthy children as possible, right, Like that's that's
Speaker 1: what they are in it for, and that any anything
Speaker 1: like this also is like a wealth transferral from like
Speaker 1: the dying, like baby boomer generation who like still run
Speaker 1: Fortune five hundred companies and bank like major banks to
Speaker 1: young people, and they are they've shown that, like their
Speaker 1: strategy is keep all the money for as and decision
Speaker 1: making as for as long as possible, because their whole
Speaker 1: you know, infrastructure they've built for making money is contingent
Speaker 1: on fucking us over and destroying the earth that we're
Speaker 1: all going to have to live on. So well see,
Speaker 1: and baby boomers and their parents like benefited so significantly
Speaker 1: from better public education options and like and from more
Speaker 1: accessible you know, college options that were affordable. Well you know, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: burn the sufarium court down. Yeah, please literally or figuratively.
Speaker 1: At this point, I don't really care get rid of it.
Speaker 1: It's got to come worried about it. Yeah. Brent Kavanaugh
Speaker 1: compared Biden's plan to help people plague by crippling debt
Speaker 1: to Truman sending troops into Korea and bushes Post nine
Speaker 1: to eleven abuses of power, which, by the way, he
Speaker 1: must have been on board with. Yeah, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are those are the same thing. I love to
Speaker 1: hear what the old rapist is thinking. He's truly like that.
Speaker 1: We talked about the story a while back that that
Speaker 1: there is like baby powder Johnson Johnson baby powder was
Speaker 1: giving people cancer the whole time because it contained talcum powder.
Speaker 1: And the reason they were able to keep doing that
Speaker 1: and evaged any like sanctions or you know attention of
Speaker 1: the EPA and you know consumer protect Protection Services is
Speaker 1: because they had they were spending millions and millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: They were paying this one lobbyist four point five million
Speaker 1: dollars a year and or something really crazy like that
Speaker 1: a year in the nineteen seventies. And that lobbyist was
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh's dad. So like it's just a it goes deep,
Speaker 1: it goes deep. Like there it is a generational like
Speaker 1: cancer on this country that is just like, yeah, disgusting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the worst, the worst. Wot's the worst. Yeah, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk about something
Speaker 1: less serious, and we're back. And we talked on trending,
Speaker 1: I guess it was yesterday or two days ago, about
Speaker 1: how there's new character images for the Little Mermaid, and
Speaker 1: I have some grave concerns about about what this how
Speaker 1: this movie is going to work when it comes to
Speaker 1: the undersea creatures, who are who the you know, the
Speaker 1: original movie relies on to be adorable and you know,
Speaker 1: some something that fans empathize with, and they released like
Speaker 1: the fan art of Sebastian the Crab, and it is
Speaker 1: a crab. It is just a crab crab with like
Speaker 1: eyes on the end of a st like no mouth.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you would think that they would have
Speaker 1: like learned from the Lion King reboot that like actual
Speaker 1: photo realistic animals don't emote in a way that people
Speaker 1: can recognize. Yeah, like it just doesn't natural against Jamie.
Speaker 1: Jamie is one of the ten most profitable movies of
Speaker 1: all times. Or that doesn't mean that it was because
Speaker 1: of that, I know, but they did not learn that
Speaker 1: lesson from that movie, even though yes, that was My
Speaker 1: entire experience is like, like nature documentaries are much better
Speaker 1: at making me give a fuck about like an animal's
Speaker 1: welfare than this, where it's just like you have to
Speaker 1: keep the thing's head still so that we can see
Speaker 1: its lips moving along with the words, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it just really didn't work. And I feel
Speaker 1: like undersea creatures and particularly crap are like very portly
Speaker 1: suited for my ability at least to be like, yeah
Speaker 1: with that what that character is saying, like I've never
Speaker 1: known to have a pet crab, Like it's not hermit crabs,
Speaker 1: but like it's like no one's like a blue crab
Speaker 1: as a pet. There's scavengers at the seat. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a bug. I feel bad because it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: I love Hallie Bailey. I'm like, but it's like, there's
Speaker 1: no way this movie is gonna be It's it's gonna suck,
Speaker 1: and then everyone's gonna say that it sucks because they're
Speaker 1: racist and not because these movies suck. Yeah, right, Melissa
Speaker 1: McCarthy looks like she's an iParty costumes. I also don't understand,
Speaker 1: like how these movies look so cheap because they cost
Speaker 1: so much money to make they're so dark. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I did think it was funny that James Cameron I
Speaker 1: think he said, like in an interview, because he's just
Speaker 1: like the meanest person. He's the biggest bitch in the world,
Speaker 1: Like he's just it looks like shit. Want to see
Speaker 1: you real underwaters? Come see teen Sigourney Weaver in My
Speaker 1: Perverted Little Movie, which I did, And what did you
Speaker 1: think of that? By the way, we haven't I know
Speaker 1: you are an Avatar fan. I guess. I mean I
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you three things that happened in that movie.
Speaker 1: Now I know that a lot of it really bothered me. Um,
Speaker 1: and then I know that whole sections made me cry.
Speaker 1: I don't know. The highs were high, the lows were abysmal. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: not enough Zoe Isell Donna, but also not enough that
Speaker 1: big turtle whale that only spoke in Papyrus. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was really cool. When the turtle whale said, I can't
Speaker 1: talk about it, it's too painful. I was laughing us crying.
Speaker 1: That was cinema to me. But also, a white kid
Speaker 1: with dread's named Spider didn't love that. The same villain
Speaker 1: as the first movie didn't love that, but his performance
Speaker 1: was so captivating. No, I'm not gonna be mean to
Speaker 1: a child actor. No Razzies takes here. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be mean. But yeah, James Cameron, I think, did
Speaker 1: say that he saw the trailer to the New Little
Speaker 1: Mermaid and that the underwater photography looked like shit. I
Speaker 1: love how caddy he is. That's amazing. Yeah, so they
Speaker 1: they have one coming they like even usually they kind
Speaker 1: of do these knock these at one at a time.
Speaker 1: But they've also just released the official trailer for Peter
Speaker 1: Pan and Wendy, which is the studio's latest live action adaptation,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, I was immediately like I don't
Speaker 1: want to see this, why, why the fuck does this exist?
Speaker 1: But it's made by the guy who made The Green Knight.
Speaker 1: Did you guys see The Green Knight? Which is wild
Speaker 1: that he's doing It's so that's kind of cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like The Green Knight? Is this like strange, like meditative,
Speaker 1: like weird like acid trip of a like movie, It
Speaker 1: like doesn't make any sense. Oh yeah, definitely a child
Speaker 1: child director? Perfect, great, Yeah, he weired. He punched it
Speaker 1: to Disney as The Revenant with flying Kids what and
Speaker 1: also cited The Lighthouse as an inspiration. Well, he also
Speaker 1: directed that weird I thought pretty good Pete's Dragon live
Speaker 1: action remake. So he has done Disney stuff before, David Lowery, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he did. Like I saw it when it came out.
Speaker 1: I feel like this was right before. This was like
Speaker 1: pre Beauty and the Beast, So I feel like it
Speaker 1: was before they were like this is all we're gonna
Speaker 1: do now. I don't think it was very successful. But
Speaker 1: he made like kind of a weird Pete's Dragon reboot
Speaker 1: that I remember liking. But The Green Knight, I mean,
Speaker 1: that movie fucking rips and so sexy. It's great. There's
Speaker 1: a scene where they're just like walking through the woods
Speaker 1: and like then they're like a bunch of giant, like
Speaker 1: giant humans just start like walking through and it's truly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a bizarre kind of trippy movie
Speaker 1: that like there's no way Disney's gonna let him do
Speaker 1: anything that cool with this. But of course that detail,
Speaker 1: like I was, I was ready to just count this out.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, directed by David Lowry and The Revenant
Speaker 1: with Flying Kids. The Revenuet is not my favorite movie,
Speaker 1: but like that juxtaposition, like bringing The Revenant into a
Speaker 1: Peter Pan movie in the Lighthouse, which is fucking perverted
Speaker 1: as hell, I'm excited, and well, yeah, I'm just excited.
Speaker 1: I hope Bill Dafoe is also in this movie yelling
Speaker 1: stop check off. I hope that's what happened constantly happening
Speaker 1: in this movie as well. Duode Laws playing Captain Hook,
Speaker 1: Jim gaff Gets playing Mister smee, this is gonna be weird.
Speaker 1: What a mess. By the way, Willem Dafoe just repeatedly
Speaker 1: coming in said, stop jacking off would be pretty appropriate
Speaker 1: to like a nineteen fifties kid, like chut British or
Speaker 1: actually it was I think it was said in like
Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds, which like there was a brief period
Speaker 1: in at least American history. I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: that this traveled across the Atlantic, but where the primary
Speaker 1: concern of Americans was like how to get kids to
Speaker 1: stop jerking off? Like everyone like we can't have dance
Speaker 1: music because the kids are all gonna just start jacking
Speaker 1: off all the time. And then like they invented like
Speaker 1: corn flakes to like keep kids from jacking off, Crackers America,
Speaker 1: The Beautiful Baby. Yeah that's so true, Jamie, so true,
Speaker 1: a bit more patriotic these, Yeah, well you nailed it.
Speaker 1: And then there's a live Chris Rock special coming from
Speaker 1: Netflix where they're like, what if you like the stuff
Speaker 1: that you were seeing on the TV was like actually
Speaker 1: happening in the moment, Like wow, what if what if
Speaker 1: I told you that? But it's called selective outrage. It's
Speaker 1: just the latest Chris Rock our that Netflix is are
Speaker 1: trying to like turn the whole thing into like a
Speaker 1: super Bowl event. There's gonna be a pre show with
Speaker 1: Leslie Jones and Jerry Seinfeld and also Matthew McConaughey and
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney. For some reason, what I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: in for Leslie Jones and I think that's it, yeah,
Speaker 1: and maybe drop off after that. I'll give you Leslie
Speaker 1: Jones and Matthew McConaughey just because I would like to
Speaker 1: see her make him uncomfortable. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel into any room that would be a great show
Speaker 1: down because he and really is like the person who's
Speaker 1: making people uncomfortable in any Yeah, with his just like
Speaker 1: weird Woody Harrelson, stoner redneck energy and and and his
Speaker 1: like vague political aspirations. I think that I really started
Speaker 1: falling off the mcconaugheytrain when he started having vague political
Speaker 1: aspirations like no, no, yeah. I feel like his political
Speaker 1: aspirations were very similar to like Andrew Yang's, Like he
Speaker 1: could have been a member of the Andrew Yang Party
Speaker 1: where it was like bear're not doing left or right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But anyways, the big news if if all of that
Speaker 1: was not eyeball grabbing enough for you. It was just
Speaker 1: reported that Chris Rock will address the Will Smith slap
Speaker 1: incident for the first time. God, how many times you
Speaker 1: need to hear about that. This is according to an
Speaker 1: anonymous source who I'm having a hard time believing is
Speaker 1: not a Netflix publicist, but this is. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I I don't know what people think he's going to say,
Speaker 1: but like that, so like last year, he performed the
Speaker 1: week after the Oscars and tickets were like being sold
Speaker 1: for over seventeen hundred dollars because people were like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: it's good, we're gonna hear the tea And then like
Speaker 1: he didn't mention it because he's a stand up comedian
Speaker 1: and not like a fucking town crier who just like
Speaker 1: comes out and talks about whatever you want him to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and like fans were like disappointed that he didn't just
Speaker 1: come out and up end the show, and well, I
Speaker 1: also don't know what they want him to say, though.
Speaker 1: It's like such a weird it make any sense take
Speaker 1: possible at this point too. It's also like about to
Speaker 1: be the Oscars again. It's been a whole year whole year,
Speaker 1: and yet we still haven't healed. You know, America is healing,
Speaker 1: but I think I think this is the only thing
Speaker 1: that can truly heal. America is hearing from Chris Rock
Speaker 1: what he thought it was like when Will Smith slapped him.
Speaker 1: I I had a real Chris Rock was really kind
Speaker 1: of haunting me yesterday. I don't really know why, but
Speaker 1: it was. Do you remember in Madagascar where his zebra
Speaker 1: character does a bit where he goes circus. I don't
Speaker 1: know why that. That was on a loop in my
Speaker 1: head all day yesterday, and I was starting to like dissociate.
Speaker 1: I gotta say. The weird thing that was in my
Speaker 1: head was come loft us up where we belong? Has
Speaker 1: anyone ever done that? AKA? Like that O the song
Speaker 1: come left Us up where we belong, but come loft
Speaker 1: us up where we belong? I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: is like gang get on it, the New Month, the
Speaker 1: New World Circus. That's pretty fun, he says. It's like
Speaker 1: Circus Afro, Circus Afro, Polka dot Polka dot Polka dot Afro.
Speaker 1: I remember it so clearly. There's some great moments of
Speaker 1: comedy and hidden in children's films here and there, you know,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, fun bright ones that aren't grim. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: and I fully believe that Chris Rock just improvised that,
Speaker 1: and then they had to turn the worst when. I
Speaker 1: love when voice artists will like improvise something and then
Speaker 1: it becomes the worst week of an animator's life because
Speaker 1: they're like, well, I I gotta do whatever the fun
Speaker 1: that was great? Yeah, I feel like the the fifth
Speaker 1: funniest writer from the Harvard Lampoon probably didn't like come
Speaker 1: up with that while they were writing the script. No,
Speaker 1: it's so simple, so beautiful. Yeah, all right, well, Brandy,

Speaker 1: a tweet or work of media you've been enjoying. I
Speaker 1: actually watched it came out two years ago, but I
Speaker 1: watched the Donut King documentary last night and it was
Speaker 1: real delightful. Oh, it's really great It's about this Cambodian
Speaker 1: man named Uncle Ted that came over before the camer
Speaker 1: Rouge and basically opened learned from the donut shops here
Speaker 1: how to make donuts, and then all of his family
Speaker 1: came over for Cambodia escaping and they opened all these
Speaker 1: donut shops all over LA. And it's basically like, why
Speaker 1: we have so many donut shops here is because of
Speaker 1: this man, basically just like giving a bunch of escaped
Speaker 1: Cambodians an ability to make money and have careers and
Speaker 1: like that. We they were have been so popular they've
Speaker 1: kept dunka Donuts out for forever and they're just these
Speaker 1: massive yeah, they're they're just it's like a really beautiful
Speaker 1: story about why we have like so many Cambodian owned
Speaker 1: donut shops and Los Angeles and it's great, so highly recommend.
Speaker 1: It's also Jamior Left is a villain origin story because
Speaker 1: the fact that there's not a lot of dunk At
Speaker 1: Donuts here, dunk has kept at Bay No I. I've
Speaker 1: been meaning to watch that for forever. I'm really excited
Speaker 1: to see it. It's really good. There's a few twists
Speaker 1: in it that you're just like Damn. I didn't expect
Speaker 1: that to happen. But it's like it will make you
Speaker 1: want to eat donuts, which is always great. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's a great, great little documentary. Hour and
Speaker 1: a half. Loved it. There's some content that just like
Speaker 1: makes me too hungry. I just like, like, I there's
Speaker 1: a podcast Doughboys that like, I just oh, yeah, like
Speaker 1: listen to that if I'm like not actively about to
Speaker 1: like go to a fast food restaurant. Yeah, very hungry, Yeah, Jamie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what wonderful having you? Where can people find you? Follow you?
Speaker 1: And is there a work of media or tweet that
Speaker 1: you've been enjoying? Sure it has been. Uh yeah. You
Speaker 1: can follow me on Twitter at Jamie Loftus help, Instagram,
Speaker 1: Jamie Christ Superstar. I'll be here all week for crying
Speaker 1: out loud. Um. Listen to the Bechtel Cast. We've got
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch of fun live episodes coming out soon.
Speaker 1: We went on tour earlier this year. You want my
Speaker 1: website is fucking useless. If you if you want to
Speaker 1: know what I was up to in twenty nineteen, I
Speaker 1: guess you could go check it out. More of a
Speaker 1: time capsule than anything else. But I'm going on tour
Speaker 1: with You're Wrong About for most of the spring and
Speaker 1: then going on a book tour at the end of
Speaker 1: the spring for my book Raw Dog, which is about
Speaker 1: hot dogs. And you should, you should, you should preorder
Speaker 1: it it comes out. You need to pre order it
Speaker 1: right now. If you're listening to this, if you're hearing
Speaker 1: these words, go preorder it. You will not you will
Speaker 1: love it. It's so good. You guys, your voice is
Speaker 1: so like clear, It's just it's like if you've enjoyed
Speaker 1: a Jamie Loftis podcast before. It is like that in
Speaker 1: prose form. It's like you immediately became one of my
Speaker 1: favorite writers. Like, it's just it's so good. Everybody needs
Speaker 1: to go by it right now. Hell yeah, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. I early, I'm so I'm so grateful that
Speaker 1: you read it. We just like we're released a new
Speaker 1: cover for it and and I'll offer as my media
Speaker 1: because I have already formed an obsessive relationship with good Reads.
Speaker 1: The one thing I was told not to do. I
Speaker 1: they're there are people the book isn't out that there's
Speaker 1: like advanced reader copies that have been circulating, and I
Speaker 1: got this. I want to just share a little bit
Speaker 1: of a review that I got from a woman what
Speaker 1: I call her an Alley I guess, I guess, not
Speaker 1: from a woman named Cheryl. She said, Unfortunately, I did
Speaker 1: not see much real humor in this book. I am
Speaker 1: not familiar with Jamie Loftis humor, but it seemed like
Speaker 1: most of what I suppose was intended to be humor
Speaker 1: was just vitriol from a very unhappy, foul mouthed lady.
Speaker 1: The author also brought a lot of sexual innuendo into
Speaker 1: the book pretty coarsely, while mostly sleeping alone, although traveling
Speaker 1: with her partner, which got my ass on that one win.
Speaker 1: Since miss Loftus thinks America is such a horrible place,
Speaker 1: I would like to suggest she take the money she
Speaker 1: received from this book and relocate, maybe to Russia. I
Speaker 1: honestly do not understand why she was hired to write this.
Speaker 1: It could have actually been a fun and informative look
Speaker 1: at hot dogs. And then she um says that she
Speaker 1: doesn't trust anything I said about history because I'm a socialist.
Speaker 1: So you know, Jack, I'm glad you like the book,
Speaker 1: but clearly it's not for everybody that like the CIA
Speaker 1: is clearly the CIA pays attention to art, and that
Speaker 1: that feels like the CIA paid somebody to review your book.
Speaker 1: Everyone in Yeah, everyone in the CIA's initials our CIA too,
Speaker 1: so that makes sense that her name is Cheryl Cheryl Yeah, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 1: Let's see a tweet. I guess the media I'm enjoying
Speaker 1: is this, Like, I really like poker Face. Have you
Speaker 1: guys watched poker Face. It's I've watched the first two episodes.
Speaker 1: It's I just really like it. I really like Natasha Leoni,
Speaker 1: I really like I like Ryan Johnson's great. I'm a
Speaker 1: basic bitch. I like meson Ryan Johnson. So yeah, you can.
Speaker 1: I feel like people know about poker Face, but you
Speaker 1: can see that on cock. You can find me on

Speaker 1: that we think you might enjoy. Super Producer justin what
Speaker 1: song do you think people might be enjoying? So for
Speaker 1: the listeners, it's already March, but for us on this
Speaker 1: side of the timeline, it's the last day of February, yeah,
Speaker 1: aka Black History Month, and they kind of short changed
Speaker 1: us on the number of days, so I needed to
Speaker 1: commandeer the first of March for this track. This is
Speaker 1: a song called ps and Qs by Chicago based artist
Speaker 1: Mick Jenkins, produced by k Trenada. If you love lyricism
Speaker 1: and some raw emotion in your hip hop, throw this
Speaker 1: track on. He puts as many words that begin with
Speaker 1: P and Q in this song as possible, so there
Speaker 1: there's a whole pun going on there, but there is
Speaker 1: a strong message behind it. It starts off at ten
Speaker 1: with the emotion and it just it kind of builds
Speaker 1: up into this nice, really cool thing and there's some
Speaker 1: really cool guitars going on behind it. So check out
Speaker 1: this track. This is called ps and Qs by Mick
Speaker 1: Jenkins and you can find that song in the footnotes.
