00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? I think

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: having the so you know, it was just Labor Day

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: yesterday it was and uh I think the September Labor

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: days is fucked. Labor Day is May one, that's the

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: International Labor Day International. It is the International Workers Day.

10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: Americans do that well because organized labor in this country

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: was brutally suppressed and the employers were like, let's make

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: another labor day that's not one in international solidarity with

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: the entire rest of the world. So they made it

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: September first Monday in September. I met you, and I've

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: learned so much. I am full of information, especially about

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: labor stuff. You're you're very informed on on labors. Yeah,

17
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: we're around. You funk with unions. I do funk with unions.

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that unions are inherently left this, but

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: I work with unions. I would love to be in

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: a union. Who should I vote for in the guild. Oh,

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about this off here. I'm trying to get

22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: a job. These people are vindictive. So when did when

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: did unions officially like go out of fashion? Was it

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: just when Reagan crushed the when Reagan crushed them? Yeah? Yeah,

25
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: Well well basically, like you know, I'm not I am

26
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: not an expert on the history of American labor, but

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: I do know that there was like a huge resurgeons

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: in the early nineteen hundreds is also when there was

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of like violent anarchist activity in ys like Chicago, right, So,

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: like with industrialization, there's like a very strong labor movement.

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: People fucking struck and fought and died for an eight

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: hour work day, you know, which we now take for granted.

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: You know, like there didn't used to be natter or

34
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: work day, they don't needs to be weekends. So like

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: people really fought for all this stuff, and kind of

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: early ninets and then basically from the fifties onward, you know,

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: the government was more like breaking down unions and um

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: antitrust laws were either repealed or just you know, not renewed,

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: relaxed so that monopolies could grow. But like in the

40
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: early era of like industrialization, when they were like trains

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: and stuff. They're all these trains were getting big, you know,

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: there are all these monopolies and then the government was like,

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: well we have to break these up, and that helped

44
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: organize labor. But then um, you know, eventually they were like,

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: well this is pretty cool. Is it going to continue

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: to be a push pool? Like do you think? Like,

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: because I was reading this, dude just wrote an article.

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: He created the show Good Trouble, but he wrote a

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: really I was like, let me see what this dude

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: was talking about, but a really good article. And I

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, let me see. Let me see what

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: he has to say about unions. And I read and

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is actually really profound, and

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: like he was kind of talking about how it feels

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: like now a lot of people, especially with the Trump

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: administration the Bush Minister aren't working really hard to relax

57
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: and like you said, repeal some of that ship and

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: that now is the time where we can either like

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: not let that happen, or it's going to go too far.

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: The airline strike that's going on now is like a

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: big example of that. Like unite here is a union

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: of airline workers from many different airlines, and they're right

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: now trying to fight for like, like what is it United?

64
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: I think is paying people and they're making billions and

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: billions of profits. So stuff like that is kind of

66
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: like it's coming down to the line where people are like, well,

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: we're getting fucked so bad. We don't have any choice

68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: but to do the ship anymore because you just can't live.

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, these are people working two jobs and still

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: not making enough to live. That's insane. Do we think

71
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: it was part of a conscious strategic decision to make

72
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Labor Day like kind of a shitty holiday where it's

73
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: the end of summer, Like it like makes you to

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: rest a little bit there instead of making at the

75
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: beginning of the summer. It's like, hey, for first, it's Beltane.

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's the horniest day of the year. It's

77
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: like a magic day. What's Beltane? Beltane is like the

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: it's like a pagan thing. It's like a pagan celebration.

79
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: The first it's not the first spring. It's halfway between

80
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: the spring solstice and the I'm sorry, the spring equinox

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: in the summer solstice. Right, it's the day that I'm

82
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: always horny. Is it's a big, big horn watch out

83
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: for me on my first people. I've been keeping a

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: log of my horn level. Yeah, off the charts today.

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about you or you guys. Uh. They've got

86
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: a new ad, uh that is which the Jewish one?

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: Which do you or I don't know? Is there's two drs,

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: just two doors. There's Muslim do your Jewish der and

89
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Christian dear. It's not the best in the biz for nothing,

90
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: thank you. So they've had a new ad that is

91
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: a Native American doing a ceremonial dan. It's uh that

92
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: it says we are the Land, uh, and the text

93
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: that appears alongside it says an authentic journey deep into

94
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: the Native American soul in a sacred founding and secular territory.

95
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: What more, yes more to come September one, um, yes no, no,

96
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: no, no no, no no more appropriation Uh the now this

97
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: so this is a a perfume or cologne. I'm not

98
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: sure which I no. No, So we are the Land

99
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: is just the idea, okay, obviously no, but so this

100
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: this scent sums up the idea of Native Americans being

101
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: the land. Smell like blood, probably a little bit there's

102
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: like blood mixed with passion fruit. Um. But so this

103
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: is a scent uh that is called savage. It's basically

104
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: savage with a U added. So we found a longer

105
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: version of the ad that gives it context. And the

106
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: way that we get context is we see Johnny Depp, yes,

107
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp, walking through a desert with an electric guitar

108
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: finally uh. And he looks up startled like a merecat.

109
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: And then there is a young attractive woman in like

110
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: a wolf for who like looks up at him startled,

111
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: like what is he doing here? Is she on all fours?

112
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Or she standing? She's I think she's standing. It's it's

113
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: actually right, uh. And then Johnny Depp shreds a nasty

114
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: guitar solo in the middle of the desert, and then

115
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: they cut to that dude doing the ceremonial dance. And

116
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: then what happened since we are the she's just there,

117
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, does she enjoy the shredding or she like,

118
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to say she. I think she's just aware

119
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: of his presence. But she's not actually like spatially there.

120
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: It's more like she's the spirit of the land right exactly. Um. WI,

121
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: what's up with that? What's going on there? I don't know.

122
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: It's it's hard to say, let's rewrite this ad, bro, please,

123
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: So let's just start in darkness and then a light

124
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: comes in right then you hear the howling of a wolf,

125
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: and then you cut to that lady right, and then

126
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: she's like, she's on all fours because she's a wolf.

127
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: It'll be crazy she was walking. If she was walking,

128
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: that's a whole different commercial. So she's all all four

129
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: if she's walking the exactly, it's a world and where

130
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: animals are walking, and then that's not a world we

131
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: want to live in, right, So then Johnny Depp comes

132
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: out of the ground and he's crushing it on the

133
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: guitar solo. But then someone stops him, and this Elizabeth Warren,

134
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: and she says, I should be playing the guitar right,

135
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: And then she takes the guitar and keeps playing it right.

136
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: The results of her DNA test flash on the screen.

137
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: Lind best to make sure everyone knows we know who

138
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: she is. She's legit, And then all of a sudden,

139
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of war I can take this

140
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: commercial to where it's not problematic. Well, uh, we want

141
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: a suggestion. Yeah, the wolf girl um whips out a

142
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: bass tread together yeah, yeah, like beautiful music together, like

143
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: when Red Hot Chili Peppers was playing at the Slawson

144
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: Castle and then the guitars in the basis, I don't

145
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: know the basis. His name, his name is Flee, I

146
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know the guitaristist name. But they were they were

147
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: they Ain't that the lead singer? Yeah, doesn't play guitar. No,

148
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: not the guitarists Okay, Jon Favre, But that's not right.

149
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that the drummer? And they're just playing with each other?

150
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: I was looking at a Trace Cyrus Tray. Serris has

151
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: a lot of portraits of named Americans on him, or

152
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: a guy who grew up in a white guy who

153
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: grew up in Tennessee. And then I was in l A.

154
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: How are you? How's you supposed to show respect? I mean,

155
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a question I'm always asking exactly, Trace,

156
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: how do I show respect for a race? I'm not

157
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: get a tattoo, that's right, Well, that's why I got

158
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: so many tattoos of white people on my body. What

159
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: is a myth with something people think is true, you

160
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: know to be false. Alright, So when I was preparing

161
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: for this, I couldn't decide whether I wanted to get

162
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: um all heavy and serious or talk about Popeyes chicken sandwiches.

163
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: I kind of cut it down the middle. But I

164
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: guess this is now that I'm looking at my notes.

165
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: I took like slavage jack notes, So it's kind of

166
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: an intense point. But I think I was thinking about this.

167
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: I was like, Um, myth, A big myth to me

168
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: is uh, this idea that like art is a weapon.

169
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is it like, um,

170
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean we're here in l A, in

171
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: the land where we make all the things, you know,

172
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: all the media and stuff, so maybe it's relevant. There's

173
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: a very popular idea in America that like I'm gonna

174
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: fight Trump with my music or whatever, or you know,

175
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: or with movies and stuff like that. And uh, I

176
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of also call bullshit on this. I guess I

177
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a very popular myth, and it's profitable.

178
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is here's what I

179
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: was thinking about it. Right, So this Dave Chappelle special

180
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: comes out, and everyone's everyone in the in the right wing,

181
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: the bright Barts and reason dot com. Obvious people are like,

182
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, the cancel culture. People don't want you to

183
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: see this special, right, and everyone makes fun of them

184
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: because it's hilarious. But then you know, like a few

185
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: years ago, this Lady Ghostbusters movie came out and how

186
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: they advertise it. They're like, the bros don't want you

187
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: to see it, and like, what are these two things

188
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: have in common? They don't want you to buy my product,

189
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: so stick it to them by buying my thing. Right.

190
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: That's that's how like capitalism came back around and just

191
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: molded itself around all this stuff we're talking about, and uh,

192
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: it's it's dumb. I'm against it. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Well, yeah,

193
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: I think there's the idea that you could somehow just

194
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: be like, do these subversive T shirts are gonna bring

195
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: are gonna end child separation? Like your heart's in the

196
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: right place. But I don't know, if you know, if

197
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: we're talking in terms of an action plan, that's the

198
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: best thing to do. But I guess if you're just

199
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: using it as awareness, that's one level of it. But

200
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: I think to to suppose that that that's the you know,

201
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: that's going to directly affect things. But it kind of

202
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: like I think it's advantageous to people in power to

203
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: permeate these myths because it really keeps people from doing

204
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: anything that actually threatens power by thinking like, you know,

205
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: well I could do a bunch of boring, dry political ship,

206
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: or I could pick up a brick, or I could

207
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: do my hobby. And then that's also somehow part of

208
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: this process. And it's like you imagine you're like a king,

209
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: You're inside of a tower. You don't want to get

210
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: in the tower. There's all these people out side and

211
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: they have weapons, right, Well, it would be probably pretty

212
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: advantageous to like permeate the idea that like weapons aren't

213
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: that's not how you do it. Do it with a song,

214
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: you know? You know it really fucking piss me off?

215
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: Is if y'all stayed at home? Right? Yeah, that would

216
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: really fuck me up? Yeah, I don't know. So, Like,

217
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: I guess this idea gets thrown around a lot of

218
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: the circles in it, and I think it's, uh, the

219
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: point I'm trying to make. I guess it's like art

220
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: is the end of society, not the beginning of it.

221
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Like it's an end result, and so that's what America

222
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: has backwards to me interesting, you know, yeah, and I

223
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: think I mean all art is political, and so like

224
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: sometimes when people are going out to specifically make a

225
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: political statement that they have consciously concocted in their mind,

226
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes just in terms of the quality

227
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: of the art, that's it tends to work better when

228
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: it's like something that has taken some time to stewing

229
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: your unconscious or just in general, the best start is

230
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: true actual self expression rather than like pop music where

231
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: it's like, well this is banging right now. If I

232
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: do something in this world, I get swept up therefore,

233
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's a big difference to if

234
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: like if it's like meaning first and then there's like

235
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: a point in it later. If you're writing a joke

236
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: that it's funny first and then that happens to have

237
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: a point of view in it because it's your point

238
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: of view and it's attached to the things you think about,

239
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: that's a joke, right. But if you start with the

240
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: thing you're trying to say, that's propaganda and uh, then

241
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: you're just a fucking Christian rock musician and you know

242
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: that's not fun. You know, I was a Christian rock

243
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: musician in high school when you were yelling yeah exactly,

244
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: singing come in the voice of the Lord and exactly. Yeah. Yeah,

245
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: we call it Ecclesie nasties. It's pretty good Christians. Uh,

246
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about ranch rant these ranch dressing its ideology.

247
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: People always say, you know, all ranch dressing is political,

248
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: and uh, now you miles Hidden Valley, which, by the way,

249
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: there is a Hidden Valley Ranch. That ranch dressing wasn't

250
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: bent to that during the Year of Our Lord. Yes, apparently,

251
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, they they're claimed the makers of Hidden Valley

252
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: Ranch are claiming victory over ketch Up that it is

253
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: now their influence of ranch usage now happens beyond the

254
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: salad bowl, including for dipping pizza, fries and popcorn. And

255
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: now this is where I get sucked up. They said

256
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: it has displaced blue cheese as a dipping sage choice

257
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: for wings. That's a lie. And that's how I know

258
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: this whole thing is bullshit. Yes, because I will never

259
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: put a ranch on a wing. But this is a

260
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: long standing kind of conversation that Hidden Valley has been

261
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: trying to get started. Uh since two thousand twelve. I

262
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: found an article where they were like, Hidden Valley is

263
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna supplant catch up as the number one condiment by

264
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: putting out this new product Hidden Valley everything which is

265
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: thicker and so it sticks better to burgers and fries. What.

266
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Here's how, here's how they should advertise it. It It should

267
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: be like these PC culture people, they don't want you

268
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: to eat on everything. Fucking own them, pone them with

269
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: this extra ranch. It's true, the cultural elites don't want

270
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: you to eat. They're all that'll give you a heart attack.

271
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Ranches just fucking I don't. I mean, I get it.

272
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: I really liked ranch when I was a teenager because

273
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: I've never had it really growing up because my mom

274
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: just didn't have that kind of ship in our house.

275
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: And then I would start eating, like I had friends

276
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: who put ranch on everything. I was like, oh this

277
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: is I'm like, okay, this is a wave. Then it

278
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: died off because I realized it was just covering everything

279
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: I ate and there was no other flavor. It was

280
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: more just like masking ship and ranch. Uh. Now I'm

281
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: like really not as into the whole ranch thing, but

282
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: like when you see all these like ranch fucking fest

283
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: ranch fest. They haven't Vegas or whatever where people are

284
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: like beer bonging fucking ranch. It's just like the new

285
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: fucking Bacon where people are mistaking food for a personality

286
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: and I'm a little you know, ranch bacon. Hold on, Yeah,

287
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: well no, that's the thing. And that's when you look

288
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: at like the ship Hidden Valley is making. They're like

289
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: they found a way to weaponize ranch in every possible way.

290
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: By the way, ketchup isn't the number one condiment in

291
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: the United States. Also, right, it's actually Mayo and Mayo

292
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: by like a lot four hundred million containers sold each year.

293
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Then's also with two hundred and seventy one million. That's

294
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: probably it's probably because of real America, that's right, Which

295
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: is funny. I thought I thought they're all those like

296
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: fucking takes, like, oh, millennials are ruining Mayo. May's dying

297
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: because millennials are poor. I think that was a single

298
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: article we found woman that people didn't like her chicken salad.

299
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: It's always somebody with a really specific agenda. Don't want

300
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: to come over to my apartment anymore. They're killing the

301
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: coming over to my apartment industry. Think my scarface poster

302
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: is quote gay. Anyways, be wary of any ranch news

303
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: that you hear. I know you guys have been just

304
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: reading ranch news with an open mind, but trying to

305
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: be a little bit. This is what's wild. There is

306
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: a ranch dipping sauce. Right if you go to the

307
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: Hidden Valley site, they have a whole subsection of different

308
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: ranches you can get. Okay, one is called blasted creamy

309
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: dipping sauce Ranch dipped pizza flavor. Now, what the fun

310
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: dipped pizza? It's so it's basically evoking the taste the ranch.

311
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: The dressing that comes out of this is meant to

312
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: evoke the flavor of you dipping pizza into ranch. It's

313
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: a flavor. It's a ranch dressing that's flavored as ranch

314
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: dressing that has pizza dip dipped in it is. That's

315
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. This is meta. What do you put

316
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: that on? This is this practice practice? Yeah, I don't know,

317
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's meant to just be like, if

318
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: you like the flavor of ranch and pizza, but you

319
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: don't want to just dip your pizza and ranch. You

320
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: just want to export that flavor to another eating experience.

321
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: This is where I'm just saying, the layers are becoming

322
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: too thick and crazy. Do you want to eat an

323
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: extre painting? Do you want your condiment to just confuse

324
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: the ship out like that one scene in Labyrinth? Have

325
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: you ever made ranch? Uh? No? I was just actually

326
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: I'll actually talk about this later. I'm into making my

327
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: own dipping sausage recently, and I was realizing how easy

328
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: it is to make ranch. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's making

329
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: your own sauces. It's fun. Um. I used to have

330
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: to make it because I work at a pizza restaurant,

331
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: and so you have to make it in batch, and

332
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: like it's basically just like three ingredients. It's just like

333
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: buttermilk and then like mayo or something some green ship

334
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: and then you put it all in a bucket and

335
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: then you get this big drill thing, drill on a

336
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: power beater. Yeah, and there like a construction workers just

337
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: like people walk by. Yeah, it's really weird packets you're

338
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: adding or was it real? Like from scratch it was

339
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: hidden valley actually packets of green ship. I don't know

340
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, I don't know what's in ranch. Also,

341
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: and I eat it constantly and look and we shouldn't know.

342
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: In a way, I don't want to know. It's America's

343
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: new blood type. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.

344
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back, guys. Let's talk

345
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: about the straight Pride parade that finally happened over the weekend,

346
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: the one in Boston. The one in Boston finally happened

347
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: over the long weekend. And I just say, I'm so glad.

348
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: I did say unplugged from the news for the last

349
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: couple of days. That's the thing. I mean. This was

350
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: poorly executed from a number of standpoints, but number one

351
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: being they held it over a holiday. We kend that

352
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: I had no idea what happened until after the holiday weekend. Uh.

353
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: And I also had no idea what happened until after

354
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: the holiday weekend because it was just it kind of

355
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: nothing happened. Yeah, it was like two people showed up,

356
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: so not few enough to be like there. So there's

357
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: been other straight Pride pride that didn't realize this. There

358
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: was a quote hetero activist who staged the straight Pride

359
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: Pride in Seattle back in I think it was a

360
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: couple of years back, and the attendance was lower. It

361
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: was just him. I couldn't find one other fucking weird.

362
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: It kind of takes the wheels off his whole argument. Yeah,

363
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: that's a sexual parade just by default he had He

364
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: had the black and white balloons, which ended up being

365
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: black and white, ended up being the color of the

366
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: colors of the straight Pride movement, if you want to

367
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: call it that, which we shouldn't Pride battle movement. There's

368
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: another straight Pride parade just last week in Modesto, California,

369
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: organized by Don Grundman, a chiropractor who also keeps running

370
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: for Senate and losing horribly. Straight Pride Parade, Oh you

371
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: mean a podcast Drop the fucking ball Don a chiropractor.

372
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, we gotta keep things straight. Also our

373
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: spinal lignement. Oh maybe it's all viral marketing. Yeah, the

374
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: most like some someone off handedly said that to him

375
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: and he has the worst ideas, and he's like, yeah, wait,

376
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: hold on, yeah, straight pride, straight backs straight, Okay, yeah,

377
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: let's do this. Yeah. His logo on his site is

378
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: a white fist next to the words fight the power.

379
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Uh so it's even worse because what is the power? Right?

380
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: Fight out fight ourselves. There's also an old phote of

381
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: a lynching on his website that links to an article

382
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: where he calls black people chumps. So about section of

383
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: this site he claims that the crappiness of the web

384
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: design is on purpose because because it's a meat and

385
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: potatoes site that's here to quote assist you in both

386
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: countering and leaving what I term as the matrix, which wait, wait,

387
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: which is amazing what so many reasons. The about section

388
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: of his website is defending the shitty web design by

389
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: making by being like, yeah, because we're trying to fucking

390
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: red pill right in here, Yes, and also claiming that

391
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: he is the one who came up with comparing the

392
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: media to the matrix. Uh what what I term as

393
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: the matrix? So in a way he's the like originator

394
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: of red pilling. Yes, it's weird that he's not specifically

395
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: talking about the red pill like seene analogy in the Matrix,

396
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: because he could be saying that the media is like

397
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: those two albino twins from the Second Matrix or some

398
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: other weird ship. Yeah, he hasn't thought it through thoroughly

399
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: enough for his mind doesn't work, and that like meta texts,

400
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, guys, I've only seen the trailer

401
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: for the um when appearing before the Modesto City Council

402
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: to make his case for his straight Pride parade, because

403
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: nobody wanted it to be on shared county land, so

404
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: he had to end up renting out a place which

405
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: then canceled it there. Um, so he just had it

406
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: in his basement basically. But when he was talking to

407
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: the Modesto City Council to make his case that he

408
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: should be able to have a straight Pride parade, he

409
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: had a bit of a Freudian slip where he said

410
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: we're a totally peaceful racist group, which, yeah, that's tough. Anyways,

411
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: only twenty people were there to celebrate when when his

412
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: party eventually popped off, but two hundred lgbt Q ally

413
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: showed up to oppose them. Uh, and that brings us

414
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: to Boston just last weekend. First of all, they fucked

415
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: things up initially by using Brad Pitts likeness, right, they

416
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: were like like the ultimate straight guy. Yeah, Tyler dirt

417
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: and Dog. We're all Tyler dirdon. Um. I mean we

418
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: just think it's really cool him as an image of

419
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: like the straight man because you know, like he's so

420
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: hot and like his body is so tight, and like

421
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: everything about him like glistening, Like I don't know if

422
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: that's real select or like the makeup department with glyszer

423
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: and all over his abs or whatever. I'm feeling it.

424
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: What's more heterosexual than an imaginary metrosexual friend? I was

425
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: telling you to do all that bad stuff. Yeah, how

426
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: to use hair gel and ship. Right, So about two

427
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: d people showed up to march Um, we're mostly drowned

428
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: out by six hundred to a thousand counter protesters. Uh,

429
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: didn't they like shift it? Because the straight Pride parade

430
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: thing became so like such a joke around it that

431
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: they're like, well, it's also going to be like a

432
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: costume parade. So I think that was sort of they're

433
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: thinking heading in is how like straight culture has nothing

434
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: to associate itself with, so whereas gay culture, like the

435
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: gay pride parades are look amazing like and people have,

436
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, things to do like visually that like make

437
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: them really fun to look at. They were like, oh, ship,

438
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: straight parride is just black and white balloons, Like what

439
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? So they were like, you guys,

440
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: do cosplay, do cosplay, It'll be it'll be cool. It

441
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: was so well thought through that on the side it

442
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: said best solo costume gets a one hundred dollar gift

443
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: card to something. It's just Halloween a one hundred dollar

444
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: gift card to something, and and a two hundred dollar

445
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: card goes to the best straight cut what's caused play

446
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: for something again? Uh wow. The reason that that Pride

447
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: parades have a culture to them is that they have

448
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: an origin and them just been made from a whole cloth,

449
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 1: like the straight Pride parade. Pride is in celebration of

450
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: the you know, the Battle of stone Wall, where a

451
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: bunch of queer people got into a street fight with

452
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: the police inside of a bar and barricade the walls up.

453
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: The reason I bring this up is that this a

454
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: straight Pride parade implies the existence of straight stone Wall.

455
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: There was some kind of oppression, yeah, or some sort

456
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: of street fight with like whoever they're saying oppresses them,

457
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: like the PC police, twitter y queer eye people saying

458
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: I stopped wearing cargo shorts. That's stone Wall, man. It

459
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: denotes the day on which queer I said cargo shorts

460
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: weren't cool anymore. So Brooks running shoes with red white

461
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: socks pulled up to my knees isn't a cool look.

462
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: It's violence against me. Man. The Queer Eye guys got

463
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: hired to make over their dad and they like boarded

464
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: up the walls and ship and they were like, they're

465
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: trying to get in here. Oh god, the photos look

466
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: really really exciting, pretty bleak uh and and lo and

467
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: behold how many fucking cargo shorts are in this fucking photo? Dude.

468
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: It's like one, there are three pairs of shorts in

469
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: the picture, or four pairs and three of them are

470
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: cargo shorts. So good ratio? Yeah. Not. A ton of

471
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: women were showing pride in their straightness, and AOC tweeted

472
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: for men who are allegedly so proud of being straight,

473
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: they seem to show real incompetence that attracting women to

474
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: their event seems more like a I struggle with masculinity

475
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: parade to me. I hope they've grown off over the

476
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: next year to support joint lgbt Q fam next hashtag

477
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: pride and that's set the right way. Media off their

478
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: favorite person, their favorite lightning rod. It gave them something

479
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: to cover. It was beneficial to them in the sense

480
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: that it gave them something to cover that wasn't the

481
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: parade itself, because that was just self evidently embarrassing. Um.

482
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: But anyways, it looks like at this point, straight pride

483
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: parades are a resounding oh for three, But you know,

484
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: keep trying, guys. I don't know, man. You've seen a

485
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: Patriots Super Bowl celebration parade, right, yeah, I mean undefeated, like,

486
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: there's plenty of Most parades are straight Pride parades, right like, well, yeah,

487
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: of course this one has a monoculture. Yeah. Yeah, it

488
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: has terrible masks, it's clowns. Did you see the clou

489
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: of the weird green clown guys. No, there's a picture

490
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: that went around on the Twitter of like a snapshot

491
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: of these two guys that had green like makeup all

492
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: of their faces and clown wigs, and somebody explained it

493
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: to me. It's a after So they took the Peppe

494
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: frog and made it all right, you know, and then

495
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: they kept evolving it like Pokemon style. So there's like

496
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: a bigger one called Groper, and then the next yeah,

497
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,239
Speaker 1: it's big, bigger, weirder Pepe and then there's this thing

498
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: called honkler now, and that's what they were dressed up as,

499
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: which is like a pepe a frog that's also a clown.

500
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know what it means, but they certainly

501
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: could explain why they're dressed up as a frog clown

502
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: as a way of celebrating the fact that they supposedly

503
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: have sex with women. Tons of it. It's fucking weird. Yeah, yeah,

504
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: that is very strange. I wish I had not seen

505
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: those pictures. Yeah, yeah, it's nightmare fuel miles. You you

506
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: pointed out this look at Trump supporters as an expression

507
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: of this new trend. Yeah, a need for chaos. So

508
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: these political scientists, they did a like six surveys, their

509
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: European researchers, but they did four surveys in the US

510
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: or they like interviewed over five thousand participants and two

511
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: in Denmark with like somewhere around to kind of find

512
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: like they had this theory essentially that there's a need

513
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: from for some people who are participating in politics or

514
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: a democracy that are just looking for what they call

515
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: chaos incitement, which is a strategy of last resort by

516
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: marginalized status seekers. Um So what they're essentially saying is like,

517
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, Trump has often just sort of tried to

518
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: create this narrative that America is in chaos, um, and

519
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, like that sort of build himself up to

520
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: be like, look at these other presidents, their failures, it's chaos.

521
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: It's chaos. It's chaos. We need to change it. Um.

522
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: But they've found that a lot of these people who

523
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: have a need for chaos, they sort of get that

524
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: out or express that need by just spreading like conspiracy

525
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: theories and fake news and all this other stuff. And

526
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily because they're trying to spread their own ideology.

527
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: It's just that their ideology is that they want to

528
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: undermine the political establishment, elites whatever and try and get

529
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: others inspired to be like, yeah, fuck this thing. And

530
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: before I think a lot of times you could look

531
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: at is like, oh, these people want this specific thing,

532
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: that's why they're tweeting this out. But there, you know,

533
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: as they look at it, they're like, no, these people

534
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 1: really just do this, not even because they believe that

535
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: it's true. They say, quote for the core group, hostile

536
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: political rumors are simply a tool to create havoc. So

537
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: in the way they identified these people. Is that they

538
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: found that the people who were like really into this

539
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: sort of this drawn to chaos category, that they had

540
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: affirmative responses to the following statements. I fantasize about a

541
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: natural disaster wiping out most of humanity such that a

542
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: small group of people can start all over. I think

543
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: society should be burned to the ground. When I think

544
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: about our political and social institutions, I cannot help thinking, quote,

545
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: just let them all burn. We cannot fix the problems

546
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: in our social institutions. We need to tear them down

547
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: and start over. I sometimes I just feel like destroying

548
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: beautiful things. Well, I relate to all of these statements. Yeah,

549
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: I agree with all the them. Well, they say, like

550
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of these tied strongly to support for Trump

551
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: and then even to Bernie Sanders to a lesser extent,

552
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: because like these are vague in the in the sense

553
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: that if you can see, like, oh, we're this capitalist

554
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: structure we live under, like is not working. We need

555
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: to let this ship burned. I mean, that's the thing

556
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: we've even said about like fucking burn it down. Uh.

557
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: But it's very very strong with people who identified as

558
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: like supporting Trump's some of Trump's earliest supporters were these

559
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: people who looked at like psychographic data that they had

560
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: stolen basically from Facebook, and we're like we've been tracking

561
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 1: like political like where people were in America politically, and

562
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: right now it just spiked in terms of people who

563
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: are ready for like an outsider candidate to come in

564
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: and just basically flip the checkers table and you know,

565
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: just up end the game. And so that makes sense

566
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: that like Bernie, who's coming in and like criticizing things

567
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: from the outside, and also Trump, like both of these

568
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: people who don't make sense to the mainstream media would

569
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: come in and like have some success. I mean it

570
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: shows it's at the very least, there is a growing

571
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: number of people who feel completely powerless in this system

572
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: and now are can some embrace just its total destruction?

573
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean other people just want to see it shook up. Yeah,

574
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean people have been wanting, you know, fantasizing about

575
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: zombie apocalypse is forever decades now. I remember when that

576
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: was like the fucking every urban Outfitters gift had something

577
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: to do with the zombie apocalypse, like Zombie Survival Guide,

578
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: which I read. Yeah, I mean the idea of simplifying things.

579
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: I think there's something alienating and a little bit like

580
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: a deep existential terror about the number of people there

581
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: are in the world and like how big the world is. That, Like,

582
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: people don't really like to kind of tangle with the

583
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: idea that you're actually just one of you know, uh,

584
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: seven billion people, right, yeah. I think I think that

585
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: Fox with people and that's where, you know, a lot

586
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: of our movies are about finding out that you're secretly

587
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: the most important person on the planet, like in The

588
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: Matrix or Harry Potter, you know, like all these huge

589
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: movies are just like, oh, it turns out I'm the

590
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: only one who matters, which is Yeah. I think this

591
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: whole movement is tapping into a very human like way

592
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: of confronting that and just being like, holy sh it.

593
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: Like in America especially, we don't deal with things by

594
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: thinking about ourselves as part of a collective, or at

595
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: least we don't do that well. We don't make seaming

596
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: about out of that. That is the problem with a

597
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: lot of people. They don't think I mean, to quote

598
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: George Constanza, were living in a society. Um. I think

599
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: that's the problem is that a lot of people don't

600
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: move with other people in mind and the day to

601
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: day aspects, and that's that's what's frustrating. It's like a

602
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: really good example of that is when um, you're driving

603
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: and a bus tries to merge, and you see how

604
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: many people won't let a bus merge. That drives me

605
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. Trucks, Yeah, I would see that where trucks

606
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: are like in an exit lane and they're like I

607
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: have to get over or murder, like that's crazy. It's

608
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: gridlocked traffic and it's like, dude, what do you And

609
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: it's a best full of people let them in. I

610
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just you see examples all the time.

611
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, even like the stupid stupid straw thing is

612
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: ridiculous of like how we're banning straws, but like we can't.

613
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, you can't band plastic in general, we're

614
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: so dependent on that. But we want to get rid

615
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: of these straws, which is proof that like nobody has

616
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: any good ideas, right well, yeah, and the ones that

617
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: are would hold like too much of the stakeholders at

618
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: the top of industries accountable and like no, no, don't

619
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: don't bring that spotlight over here. Yeah, I mean that's

620
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: I mean, look at jay Z trying to be like,

621
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: let me fix the NFL, and it's like, dude, what

622
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: are you doing? Bro? You look like a fucking sellout. Yeah,

623
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: he looks crazy. It's also like impossible to change what's

624
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: going on in a in an institution that's been existing

625
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: for so long. Yeah, by handshaking with other billionaire plantation

626
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: owners who are like, yeah, man, yeah, we'll figure this out.

627
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough. Yeah. And even with the whole

628
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: jay Z thing, I'm part of me thinks like there

629
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: could be the element that there is some kind of

630
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: idea that he wouldn't just so foolishly engaged with the

631
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: NFL like that. And then part of me we said

632
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: this when the story first came out, We're like, part

633
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: of me just knows he's a fucking hustle dude. He's

634
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: about that check. So yeah, I really be like, no,

635
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: fuck cap, that's a deal I just signed. Yeah, he's

636
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: a he's a long term guy. I think about how

637
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: long he waited for Beyonce, his virginity. He waited a

638
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: long time and she a virgin No really, maybe she

639
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: only had one other boyfriend before him and she said

640
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: she was saving it. Yeah, but Beyonce, I would have

641
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: that parts like I'm a virgin, virgin, thank you so

642
00:36:53,719 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: much for waiting. I'm that's it's as I can't believe

643
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: is here after her birthday? Daily? How you saying, dam,

644
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. How isn't working out for you? Good hungry?

645
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: I could mean my birthday? Um yeah, jay Z is crazy,

646
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: but he but but to your point, I do think

647
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: he is someone who could easily be playing a long

648
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: game and uh having like having the center be money

649
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: like right, I mean, what is it compassionate capitalism, which

650
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: is not a real thing, but I think that's kind

651
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: of where what he's justified for himself. You don't become

652
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: a billionaire by accident. Become a billionaire by being a

653
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: ruthless animal. Ruthless yeah, predator. As he said, you didn't

654
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: start out from your trunk to reach the roof just

655
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: to put the roof in your trunk. Right, that's poetic,

656
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that's poetic. Thank you. And also,

657
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: as I said, jay Z and the range crazy and deranged.

658
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: So I mean he told us he was crazy beginning,

659
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: so you know, I mean shows so oh so whack.

660
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: As jay Z said, the streets is watching. I have

661
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: nine problems, but a B word is not one. Like

662
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: he said, I just said it. All right, We're going

663
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: to take another quick break. We'll be right back, and

664
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: we're back. Should we talk about Starbucks? Oh? Yes, we'll

665
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: get that far down and then no, no, you want

666
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: this one. This will lighten your mood. After that, I'll

667
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: tell you good. Let me know. Do you go to Starbucks?

668
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: First question? Okay, do you have an order that you

669
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: regularly have? What? Do you just like? Black coffee? Coffee?

670
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: Have you ever used the app to order? Absolutely not. Okay, Well,

671
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: if you anyone who's opened the app and just tried

672
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: to order something as simple as black coffee, you will

673
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: see the customization menu. Fucking bananas there. The amount of

674
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: ship you can just do it a fucking cup of

675
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: water is just absurd. And apparently this has been causing

676
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: a lot of problems for Barisa's because people don't know

677
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: how to act with this these customizations. So you can

678
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: add like you know, syrups, pumps of flavor, syrup, fucking fruit,

679
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: mashed fruit or whatever, fucking powders, milks, fucking the amount

680
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: of ice all this ship is in there. Well, now

681
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: they're saying, look, we gotta fucking pull we gotta pull

682
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: this ship back because y'all are going to ham on

683
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: these modifiers, and now they have to limit modify this

684
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: season exactly. I think it might have been pumpkin spice

685
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: season that occasion. The whole deal is, now, this is

686
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: the thing, gasp. There emitting modifiers. You can only add

687
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: the same ingredient only twelve times. What it so? Before that,

688
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: people were going into the so like you could be like,

689
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: I want this shot, I want this drink plus thirty

690
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: shots of espresso, or I want yes exactly. So these

691
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: are some of the drinks people were ordering. A venty

692
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: nine shot one pump moca non fat no whip with

693
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: exactly four shakes of cinnamon. That's something you can do

694
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: in the fucking app Okay, here's another one. I mean,

695
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 1: nine shots makes some sense to me. I mean that's

696
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: just added caffeine. That's just extra. Yeah, for sure, I

697
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: get that. Let let me let me, let me get

698
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: more of you guys fighting right now. How about this?

699
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: A cold brew ten pumps, vanilla, five pumps, caramel five pumps,

700
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: Classic syrup five pumps more of caramel, five pumps, white mocha,

701
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: whole milk, coconut milk, heavy cream, almond milk, wheat cream, cinnamon,

702
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: vanilla powder, sweet and low, what sugar, dark chocolate curls,

703
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: and extra whip cream. See, that's what happens when you

704
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: not get enough pumps in your Yeah, you just you

705
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: need other ship in your life to help you make

706
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: you feel better. But that's ridiculous. That really feels like

707
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: somebody who's taking advantage of the freebees and ship. They're like,

708
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: you know what, I actually put all that ship in there,

709
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't care if it's it just sounds like

710
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: a sad Karen. Yeah, and it will melt your teeth.

711
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, the teeth. I just worry about people's

712
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: dental health. I'll worry about insulin spikes, diabetic shock just

713
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: happening straight up in the drive through. Another one, that

714
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 1: thing that was the most absurd to me was called

715
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: someone just get a Grande with twenty pumps vanilla twenty

716
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: pumps has on that. I was a little bit Barbara

717
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: Walters John stop and not not something like that old

718
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: I but yeah, what the fats crazy? That's not even

719
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: a thing that I feel is drinking. This is what

720
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: people do when they don't have a personality, right, have

721
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: no culture. I think it no sense of cells. I

722
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: think this is straight up addiction, like I think sugar,

723
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: like straight up yeah, sugar being like the thing that

724
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of you know, it's like the hitting the lever

725
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: until you get all the all the pellets. But do

726
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: you what do you think sugar withdrawal looks like somebody

727
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: who's sick of off coming off sugar. I mean it's

728
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: a lot of headaches, it's a lot of just like

729
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: not feeling like yourself. Yeah, like no appetite because I

730
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: took myself off of like sugar addiction like years ago

731
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: hard because I was just like, you gotta understand, my

732
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: metabolism has been fucking great. It looks like I was

733
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: a kid moves at the speed of it. It really does.

734
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: So I could just eat whatever the funk I want,

735
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: and sugar was like top and it still is. If

736
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: I could have donuts to every meal, I would. I

737
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: really would favorite doughnuts. Oh god, crueler probably, And it

738
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: depends on Yeah, it's it's so good. So what were

739
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: you at your at your darkest moment with the sugar

740
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: just like no water and just drinking soda like that

741
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 1: was my water, was drinking soda and um cold classic,

742
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm feeling spicy, guilled cherry coke cold. But that's what

743
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: so and I still struggle with it. Um. But it's

744
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: part of why, like I get my coffees with just milk,

745
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: is because I was starting every day with like tons

746
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: of sugar in my start your day with that ship.

747
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: You know, caffeine already is bad enough, but that sugar

748
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: ship is tough. But like because I also get migraines

749
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: in general, So like when I started getting I mean

750
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: I lost ten pounds almost immediately, and I didn't realize

751
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: it was just like the sugar, that's all it was.

752
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: Sugar just got off your body. Yeah, I just got

753
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: off my body and that so those withdrawals are tough.

754
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: And even now I I'm like, oh, I need to

755
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: eat sugar. And I'm not diabetic, which thank God, it's

756
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: seriously than God because I should be. And I actually

757
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: got tested, which was funny because every time I'm like,

758
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: can I just get my blood tested, They're like, you're skinny,

759
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: You're fine. I'm like, that's not how anything, Idiots. Yeah,

760
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: and doctor just take I'm sorry really bad headaches, okay,

761
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: go ahead off and and I like made them get

762
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: test my blood. But um, you know. But that's the

763
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: other thing is that like people, if you especially if

764
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: you're not if you don't look diabetic, people will really

765
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: dismiss you. And I was like, no one's going to

766
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: help my sugar addiction. Accept me, like nobody cares. Because

767
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: also the only thing that would get is at which

768
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: I do have now, is acne. And it's one of

769
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: those these people like, oh, that's it good for you,

770
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: it's a blessing, and I'm like, that's still not My

771
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: body is still reacting negatively to this consumption. And yeah,

772
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: so I think, yeah, people have an unhealthy sugar addiction.

773
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: And it's also like it's easy to dismiss sugar addiction

774
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: because it's not opioid foods, it's not drinking and driving.

775
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: It's just like not affecting my job negatively, right, even

776
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: though you're a bitch at work, Karen, right, Like we're

777
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: out of screaming. But you know what, worry not for

778
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: people who are If if your order is you can

779
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: still get that embarrassing ash drink, you have to order

780
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: in person and say that out loud in front of

781
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: other people out of star But that's a great way

782
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: to shame people into reducing their sugar and take. Well,

783
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: that was a theory a lot of Barista's had who

784
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: were they interviewed when they were talking about this, they

785
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: were just like, you see it more in the app

786
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: because they feel like those people don't have to go

787
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: and tell a human being high with like a tempum

788
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: fanilla five pup Karma five pump classic syrup. Crazy. Yeah,

789
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: people be like, what the shame is good? You do

790
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: need to bring back a little bullying in schools just

791
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: well yeah, just let you know, at least get feedback

792
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: from the outside world. Feed that's what we called bullying. Feedback. Yeah,

793
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: thank you to the woke bully. Yeah, you rebranded it

794
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: as feedback. So I've got some feedback for you. Pushed

795
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: them down, feedback for you. What the fund is this outfit? Right?

796
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: That's funny. I want to write a bit about that feedback.

797
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: I got some mom dad, I got some bad users.

798
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: I got terrible feedback. Was it from Marcella for teacher?

799
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: I have those screws? It was again ship So I

800
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: walked dumb well, Jimmy, you do walked down your pigeon toad?

801
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: Ask out of here. I was pigeon toad when I

802
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: was a kid. Were you really? I went to a

803
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: wedding and um, somebody's mom put them on blast that

804
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: they were pigeon toad. It was hilarious, and nobody knew

805
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: because we knew him as an adult and we didn't

806
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: know that he was pigeon toed at the kid and

807
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: she held put him in, she went in on just

808
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: during that very sweet Yeah, they're giving speeches, but it

809
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: was like free speech. It was just open speeches, which

810
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: is fucking ridiculous. That ship happens a lot at weddings.

811
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: I hated. It's just NonStop there. Sometimes when it's like

812
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: a fucking bad open mic and everybody's like, oh, you

813
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: know what, maybe don't you know I would like to

814
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: say something like no, no, no, no no. The stepfather

815
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: doesn't need to say something again. Yeah, those people don't

816
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: talk well. Yeah, and it's like very circular too because

817
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: everybody's sucked up, and then we're like, you know, I

818
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: just want to tell everybody when I look at these kids,

819
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: I've just been just feeling a lot of love for

820
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: that turn to the room exactly like, and I got

821
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: a lot of hope, and I feel like, just you

822
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 1: look around, everybody's rooting for you guys, and we're gonna

823
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 1: we just got a lot of love for you guys.

824
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: And you know, no matter what, no matter what, looking

825
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: each other's eyes. I don't know, yeah, because it's my favorite. Uh.

826
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: There is the other thing though, too, that you said

827
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: that remind of this finger waving. It's this caffeine. Is

828
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: the like at weddings when like family members go in

829
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: so hard on the people that are getting married and

830
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: you have no idea. I saw I'm not gonna name

831
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 1: names because I think these people might listen to the show,

832
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: you know. I saw someone sibling do a whole fucking

833
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: song about how they shipped themselves right, and I was like, Yo,

834
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: that's fucking wild. This was like at a rehearsal dinner.

835
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they're gonna know. That's not a thing

836
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: that happens. I went to wedding on Friday and the

837
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: bride'smaid best whatever the fund that she does, called the

838
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: best Woman. She the maid of honor. I think best

839
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: Woman is a better and the best Woman was like

840
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: giving her speech and she was like, and then they

841
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: went did that breakup? And we all, because we're all comedians,

842
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: we all bowed, were like, because he broke up with her,

843
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: we're like, and she really talked about their break because

844
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: they had like a big breakup. And I leaned over

845
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: to my friend who was there, and I was like, girl,

846
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 1: don't ever if you give us, if I ever get married,

847
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: and if you give us, don't ever bring up not

848
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 1: even if you're trying to juxtapose that with how far

849
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: we've come. Times. Sure, I mean we remember. I think

850
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: we all remember, remember when we called you the zan

851
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: Manu the veg. But yeah, yeah, weddings are there's some

852
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: there's some good times. Yeah, yeah, is that gang? Let

853
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: us know if you've ever seen a parent or a

854
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: relative single handedly nearly bring down a wedding with a speech.

855
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: My dad was talking about a speech he saw the

856
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: wedding recently where they talked about like how quickly the

857
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: woman slept with the guy, and that like weighed into

858
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 1: like how god like, And that's how I knew that,

859
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: like my son was marrying a horror exactly, but she

860
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: was pretty chill. She also slept with me and your mother,

861
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that things got wild

862
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: and tempy. Temps definitely in Tempe. And it's time for

863
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: Miles to quiz us on some upcoming Hallmark Christmas movies.

864
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: Do First of all, let me U posit. This question

865
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: is about how many of us enjoy a terrible Christmas movie.

866
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not with you like I'm a trash human.

867
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm okay, my blood type is terrible Christmas movie because

868
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: there's no better way to just ignore your annihilation fantasies

869
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: you have than to sit on a couch and watch

870
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: these meaningless films where a person from a big city

871
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: has to move to a small town to figure out

872
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: the meaning of Christmas is typically the construction. Now, the

873
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: reason I asked is because to me, these films are

874
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: so formulaic that at times from the title alone you

875
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: can begin to figure out what the plot of the

876
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: film is. So I just so Hallmark just announced their

877
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: full list of Holiday movies and the titles with some synapsies, um,

878
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: and I just want to see, if you know, for

879
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: some media savvy individuals like yourself, I like garbage media

880
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: and garbage movies, So I think and just knowing how

881
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: these films are developed, how the titles all have to

882
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: be kind of wit. This is the deal where it's

883
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: thirty one in Christmas movies in the days of September

884
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: or December or something. Yeah, where they do Yeah, they

885
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: would just pack it every day. Basically. I think it's

886
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: the I think October starts October. There's forty films they

887
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: have first of all. So here we go. I just

888
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: want to put this title up to you. This one

889
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: is called a Christmas Scavenger Hunt. Okay, Now you're saying

890
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: that it's usual about a city girl who has to

891
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: go back to the country. Not always, but it's always

892
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: some very very generic rom com construction. Yeah, I'm assuming

893
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: this is sort of a Gift to the Magi kind

894
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: of deal where they've send each other out on these

895
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: scavenger hunts and they get they get the thing, but

896
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: they had to sell their other things that matched with

897
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: it to get the other present for that one. Does

898
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: everyone know what Gift of the Magi is? Okay, this

899
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, it's like one of these tropes. I mean,

900
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a story, but now it's

901
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: a trope where um, let's say, like, um, you know

902
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: the guy gets a haircut for the girl or gets it,

903
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: gets a hairbrush for the girl. Um uh. And then

904
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: the girl wants to buy something for the guy, and

905
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: so she like cuts off her hair to sell her

906
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: hair to get get money for the guy's watch. But

907
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: then the guy I had to cut off his hand,

908
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: you know, to get money for the hair brush, and

909
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: so they give it to him. I can't use them anymore. Yeah,

910
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: she's like, they learn a lesson about love. Yeah, I

911
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 1: think this guy, you know, a star for that. I'm sorry,

912
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna cut you off, and I'm just gonna

913
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: tell you just go for it, okay. Scavenger hunt there's

914
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: a Christmas scavenger hunt that happens in the city or

915
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: the country and a couple is competing against each other.

916
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: Or two a man and a woman are competing against

917
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: each other and eventually fall in love. Nearly fucking spot off. Wow.

918
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: When Belinda heads back to her hometown for the holidays,

919
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: things get complicated when she's forced to team up with

920
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: her ex Dustin at the town's annual Christmas The Town's okay,

921
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: how about this? Yours is, by the way, just way

922
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 1: too meaningful. See, this is a Hallmark executive. If I

923
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: could do it again, I would have said, it's just

924
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: a scavenger hunt that ends with her finding a diamond ring.

925
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: How about this one? A Christmas duet? Okay? Uh? Yeah, Okay,

926
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: So I want to go with the competition aspect. They're

927
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: both auditioning for the same chair, uh cello or something,

928
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: and then um so in the end one of them

929
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: gets it, but then they decided to do a duet instead. Yeah,

930
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with uh. The girl is coming

931
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: from the city. She's a musician. She's moved away to

932
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: apply her musical trade in the city. She's going back home.

933
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: Her ex or high school boyfriend is also there, and

934
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 1: they end up a duet like playing music together and

935
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: falling in love. Wow. Okay, so it's about a well

936
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: loved music duo. Avery and Jess Jesse, famous for their

937
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: duet wouldn't be Christmas. They haven't played together in years

938
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: and have since gone their separate ways. Avery has given

939
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: up music and open up a beautiful, simple yet idyllic

940
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: lodge in snowy, Vermont, while Jesse still tours and he's

941
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: struggling to find the same kind of success they had

942
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: as a duel. When Fate brings them together, can they

943
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: find happiness and success once more? I bet that Bucolic

944
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: rural setting is better for the soul than his touring

945
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: and worldly ways. If I had to guess one last one,

946
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: because this is just so absurd. This is called picture

947
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: a perfect Christmas. This is so zany though you're probably

948
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: not going to get it, but I just like that

949
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: they think this is a thing that would be a

950
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: good Christmas film. Um so a Christmas family picture something something.

951
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: I'll give you a hint. It's about a photographer. Now,

952
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: think of a photographer that really has nothing to do

953
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: with Christmas, Okay, like magazine photographer. I'm guessing it's a

954
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: it's a school portrait photographer, and he takes pictures of

955
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: different schools and then when they get it, takes pictures outside.

956
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: All right, Luther Wilson l a entry click. So he

957
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: takes portraits of all the kids at different school and

958
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: he accidentally switches. He accidentally sends the wrong prince to

959
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: the wrong family on Christmas. Christmas is like a background

960
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 1: because it's just a commentary on how long it takes

961
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: to get the pictures. Because they took the pictures nine

962
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 1: months earlier. He's okay, I try one more dating profile

963
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: picture taker, No, it's ship. The movie centers around in

964
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: extreme sports photography who returns home for the holiday to

965
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: look after her grandmother and ends up lending a helping

966
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: hand to a neighbor who needs assistance watching his nephew

967
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: extreme sports opening. Yeah, right, exactly. She's probably picked up

968
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 1: a few tricks of the trade from her extreme sports people,

969
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: and I bet the kid is having trouble with some

970
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: manner of extreme sports are just like the building up

971
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: the courage to do something, and in helping the nephew,

972
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: her and the uncle fall in love or it's like,

973
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: it's just a picture, you know what I mean. Don't

974
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: get intimidated by the picture. It's just a moment. I

975
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: watched one of these yesterday on the plane. A Christmas film, No,

976
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: but the exact same structure like a Hallmark film. It's

977
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: called Falling in Love. Two ends. Christina Million, you know,

978
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: lives that corporate rat race. I think she said hamster

979
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,919
Speaker 1: wheel in the movie eight times. And then she enters

980
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: a contest to win an inn in New Zealand by

981
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: writing an essay. She wins it, and then throughout the movie,

982
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: she wins it, like she becomes a proprietor. So she

983
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: moves to New Zealand and then to get this idea,

984
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: like but it's a mess and she's gonna cleet it up,

985
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: and people keep people keep saying like about how like

986
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: this this guy was running the scam. You know, Uh,

987
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: the contest was a scam, And then at the end

988
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: there's no scam. They never bring up the fact that

989
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 1: anyone said it might be a scam. And then it

990
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: just works out perfectly and she has impeccable managerials it.

991
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of scams, I have a friend who's visiting in

992
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: town and they like got a place through one of

993
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: the I think Airbnb or not Airbnb, the other one

994
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: r v R b oh, and it's just a complete scam,

995
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: Like they took really nice pictures, like paid a lot

996
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: of money and then the place is a complete dump

997
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: and the person emailed them. The person emailed them the

998
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: next day and was like, I'm gonna tell everybody that

999
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: you threw a huge party and destroyed the place if

1000
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: you try and get your money back. And they're like,

1001
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: but you literally sent me evidence your plot by they

1002
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: sent I mean, what about the screenshot of that message.

1003
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: They didn't say it, like I'm going to tell people

1004
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: that they said you threw a huge party last night,

1005
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: and I don't want to tell in the place. Yeah, yeah,

1006
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,919
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. So anyways, SHIP have friends who

1007
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: live where you're going, check out the place if possible, yep,

1008
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: And uh, just don't don't contribute to housing crisis. But

1009
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: how many times can they get away with that? Like

1010
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: vrb O gets a complaint every time someone stays there. Yeah,

1011
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of these men are not staffed

1012
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: as well as you would. I had to. I had

1013
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: a dispute with one of those companies Ship. It took forever,

1014
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: and there was shit coming out the toilets, and they're like,

1015
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: you want your money back, Like, yeah, there's raw sewage toilet. Yeah, exactly.

1016
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: Not come out the bottom of this seems because they

1017
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: sped up their renovations too much. I've seen it a

1018
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: hundred times. I watch a lot of house slipper shows.

1019
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist.
