Speaker 1: CEO of the Gray MC four twenty, which is what

00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: I call it when I watched movies on streaming at

00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: my house and get so high because you can't smoke

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: that much weed in a movie theater. And I'm joined

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: by today's co host Becca super producer Becca, how are

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 1: you hello, I'm great, Oh, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I think

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: it's time to tuck that trend talk as we do.

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: First up, Um, actually, let me just get this one

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: out the way. A mere lock right, the young man

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: black man who was shot during a botched no knock warrant.

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: He had a legally registered firearm uh and he was

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: killed by a SWAT officer. UH. Today we found out

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: that the procest uters they said, it's an unspeakable tragedy,

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: This should never have happened at all, can't believe it. Therefore,

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: they will not file charges against the police officer who

21
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: fatally killed him. Um, I don't know, man, it's like,

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: yeah that this the fucory is NonStop, like black people

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: don't have any rights. You don't have a fucking gun rights. Um,

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: but you know, you see the Second Amendment. People real

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: quiet in these instances, like when they're yeah, like you know,

26
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: Filando Castile also registered gun owner. But again, um, we

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 1: see how this country does people when your complexion begins

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: to skew a certain way. And yeah, I mean his

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: mother was giving comments right after this was announced, and

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: she was like, you know, just devastated as a parent

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: who has had their child taken from them supposedly you know, uh,

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: when you think that law enforcement can do their job properly.

33
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: But here she is telling, you know, the city, the

34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: city of Minneapolis, like you know, like, well, my hopefully

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: my son will haunt this person because this was such

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: a tragic way for someone's life to end. So yeah,

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: absolutely heartbreaking. Definitely seeving call your representatives like no knock

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: warrants should not be legal anymore anywhere. You know, qualified

39
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: immunity is really that's the one we really need to

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: go after because you can't you can't even you can't

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: even sue these people. Yeah, exactly, because they've basically been

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: given a protective order to do the worst thing. Another

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: thing that's trending, uh hashtag ripping off Americans. I was like, okay,

44
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: what's this, what's going on here? Well, the oil companies

45
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: they have some splaining to do as they are speaking

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: to Congress as we speak, where you know, Congress is

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: rightly asking, wait, what the funk is going on with

48
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: your pricing? Everything I'm seeing from y'all is you have

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: been making so much more money than you ever have ever,

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: but the prices are going up? What's going on? And

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: they say, well, we can't, we don't. We're just We're

52
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: just an oil We're just a big oil company. We don't.

53
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: All we do is sell the oil. We don't know

54
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: what else to do. And you know what, that explanation

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: was not taken. I guess so they're saying it's no

56
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: longer Russia's fault that these oil prices are high, because

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: wasn't that the whole thing that we noticed the jump

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: in prices when basically World War three started. The way

59
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: it was presented right is that the um conflict in

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Ukraine has given them cover to not do anything about

61
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: the gas prices which were already high, and just gave

62
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: them cover to turn it up even more. But yeah,

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, what we

64
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: all know is that it's it's it's just coming down

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: to corporate greed. I mean, like, you know, because when

66
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: you run a business, right, you have your business costs

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: and then everything that you after you cover your business costs,

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: that's your profit, right you know, that's the one that's

69
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the little ship you can take home and be like,

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: get all this ship. I paid everybody. We're good, the

71
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: materials have been paid for, the overheads handled. But they're

72
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: taking home, you know, upwards of twenty three billion extra

73
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: dollars home and you're like, well, what the funk is this?

74
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: Because that's what that means that you covered your ship

75
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: so well, you did twenty three billion better than what

76
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: you could have. And I understand that the nature of

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: profits and things like that, but that's the numbers we're

78
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: looking at, and that's why people are like scratching their

79
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: heads looking at the prices, being like, can't y'all eat

80
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: some of this? I feel like you have billions of

81
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: dollars so um Representative Debbie Dingle from Michigan's twelfth District.

82
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: UM just sat down to basically ask like, look, she's

83
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: from them, she she knows about she knows a thing

84
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: or two about automobiles, i'd imagine being from Michigan. UM.

85
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: But was just really questioning this whole idea that the

86
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: oil companies are putting up, saying, we don't know what

87
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: to do about the prices. So I'll play this clip

88
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: of her. I've heard each of you today point to

89
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: the complex global commodity market or describe your companies some

90
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: we as price takers. The way you talk about your business,

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: it says if you have no control over anything and

92
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: that you're just helpless participants in the global market. But

93
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's true. Your decisions on whether to increase,

94
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: sustain or decrease production affect the price per barrel. But

95
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: isn't it true that your product is the majority of

96
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: the price that someone is paining that the customers paying

97
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: for the cost of gasoline. So at the price of

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: your product, crude oil is high, then the price of

99
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: gasoline at the pump is high. Correct? So this really

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: asking some just basic questions. But yeah, I think you know,

101
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: as much as they try, they can't really shift the blame.

102
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: And I think that you just need more. I think

103
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: we just need more people who are aware of the

104
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: fact that that's how all of this works, rather than,

105
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, making it easy. When you have a lot

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: of uninformed people. You see a Joe Iron sticker on

107
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: your fucking gas pump and you're like, that's what is

108
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: thank you stick er? Well, I think it's just people feel. Really,

109
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the story we talked about a

110
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago about how those airlines were just

111
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: like setting prices high and they're like, isn't it crazy?

112
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: We just created inflation and people are paying it. It's

113
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's like, you need gas,

114
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do. You can't argue with the

115
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: gas station attendee being like, I'm not paying six dollars

116
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: a gallon. You gotta go somewhere you're gonna pay those

117
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: six dollars a gallon. So it's just, you know, more

118
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: and more signs that we're heading towards very bad inflation

119
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: and potential recession. It is very story I think we're

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, most people look at the yield curve and

121
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: that's inverting, and they say that's usually the one thing

122
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: we trying to keep an eye out on. But I

123
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: think for most part you'd say that all of it

124
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: is happening. It just takes the take it. Yeah, it

125
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: takes takes a little bit of distance. Sometimes you're like,

126
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, that's when it was right right right, okay,

127
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: got um. And then Coachella is also trending because they

128
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: sorted out their yeasy problem. Everyone's getting free yeasies now

129
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: who shows up so it gets your easies by pulling

130
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: up to Indio. No, Kanye is not headlining anymore, so

131
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: now they've got the weekend in Swedish house Mafia to

132
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: handle their little headliner problem, which honestly, I mean, I

133
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: don't listen to Swedish house Mafia, but the week that

134
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: makes more sense to me. Oh yeah, I mean he's

135
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: got a new album. I'm sure I think for him,

136
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: he probably would have liked a little more time to

137
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: have of a very headliner stage show. But you know,

138
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: you will see what happens, will see what happens. Brian

139
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: is saying Swedish House Mafia partially produced his new album,

140
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: so it's making more and more sense. But I wonder,

141
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: does that mean like someone's in the Weekend one and

142
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the other person to the weekend too. Well, Travis Scott also,

143
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: so I think it might be because Travis Scott is right, right, right,

144
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: So then one of them is going to be Weekend

145
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: one and the other will be Weekend to headliner to

146
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: replace Kanye and Travis respect I see. Okay, Um, let's

147
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back to

148
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: keep talking news. And we're back. The Ultimatum, the dating

149
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: show that everyone is talking about. It came out out.

150
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: It came out today. It was this one through six

151
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: about the Ultimatum. Tell them what this Ultimatum show is,

152
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: because this is fucking this is this is like the

153
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: lifeblood of bad relationships. Yes, I'm so stoked. So I

154
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: actually watched at this earlier today. Um, and it is

155
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: all Texas couples, which I lots and laughed and laughed

156
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: because I was like, of course it is. Of course

157
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: it's young people being like, we've been dating nine months,

158
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: where's my ring? Where's my ring? The ring? So it

159
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: is all Texas couples. They're all pretty much under the

160
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: age of thirty except for one couple where the guy

161
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: is thirty six and the girl all is thirty four,

162
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: and he's the one issuing the ultimatum, being like I

163
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: want to get married, um, and it's like, of course

164
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: he is because she's twenty four like the But anyway,

165
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: the whole show is about I don't know how many couples,

166
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: but I'm assuming probably similar amount to the people they

167
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: chose on UM Love is Blind, but UM, maybe like

168
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: ten couples, and they one of the partners issues an

169
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: ultimatum to get married at the end of this experiment

170
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: that they have to choose their partner or potentially one

171
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: of these other couples partners in this because they're making

172
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: everybody up right, all these ultimatum couples people kind of

173
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: on wobbly legs together exactly. So all these people have

174
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: like weird relationship drama, and they're all going into either

175
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: save or end their relationship. And each one of them

176
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: has a couple, has one partner that chose to be

177
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: here and like is issuing the ultimating that like, I

178
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: want to get married, so you either marry me or

179
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: we're done at the end of the experiment. And so

180
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: then they get to go on dates with these other

181
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: Couples Partners. It's so crazy. I'm so excited to watch.

182
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: I have not watched it yet because obviously it came

183
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: out today busy girl working, so after work, I'm going

184
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: to be all up in this, and also watched the

185
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: news tonight. But his wife are hosting the production team

186
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: with from Love is One because they're behind that too.

187
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: They love them some Laches, which is weird because they're

188
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: like not good at their job. But no, like Vanessa,

189
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, like I was working with you when you Wounilo,

190
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But now you're Lacha and like,

191
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: honestly she can she's more of a host. Nick is

192
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: just like I think I could just handle Vanessa Leach

193
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: on her own. Nick's just like I know, I Love

194
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: is Blind. He was just like they're being like, yeah,

195
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: like what do you think about just like she was

196
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: shut up Nick? This stop. Like they were better at

197
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the reunion this past season, but I feel like still

198
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: like they weren't digging into the me. I'm like, I

199
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: feel like we didn't get into the drama as much

200
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: as we could have. Like it's no Andy Cohen, you know,

201
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: like they needed a slop. He's yeah, of course, yeah,

202
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I know, I know, I know it

203
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: is what it is, but yeah, let me know if y'all,

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: if you have any tea, you know about The Ultimate

205
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: and maybe you know because when I do, so many

206
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: of our listeners are like, I know this dude from

207
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: Boston on merried at first sight, let me tell you

208
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: about him? Like, what the fuck? Yes? From Texas? Don't

209
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: I know? I need to like do some digging when

210
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: I realized it was everybody because The Love Is Blind

211
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: is like based out of Chicago, and there's been this

212
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: neutron with Netflix Reality. They are basing them out of Texas.

213
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I have noticed because they have that like twentysomething show

214
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: and it's like a bunch. It's like almost like a

215
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: real world. Ye I did bene it over the holidays,

216
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: and it was fun. It was cute. You know. It

217
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: was weird to be like someone who's lived in Austin

218
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: and like see all my little old haunts and be like,

219
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: oh right, you represented right. But I I thought this

220
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: was a perfect show to be based in Texas because like,

221
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: the women are very much trying to get married after college,

222
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: and everybody I felt like on the internet was like,

223
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're so young, and I was like

224
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: howny year and not from the South, you don't get it.

225
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Like most people I know are married, Like I'm not

226
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: been people and friends with because I are not really

227
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: friends of many people from home. But I do know

228
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are married. I mean, even

229
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: my brother's engaged and he's only a year older than me. Uh.

230
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: But just to everybody, ultimatums don't work and they're actually

231
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: the worst fucking thing, and in relationship are for like,

232
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, drawing boundaries and like geopolitical uh sort of situations,

233
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 1: not in a relationship, because let me tell you, for

234
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: all the people who are being like, if only they

235
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: married me, uh, if you listen to fiance, you know,

236
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: there's a phrase I regularly deployed that I say there,

237
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: which is jewelry won't stop the foolery just because they

238
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: put a ring on. It ain't shit gonna change, except

239
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: now you just now this motherfucker got a ring on.

240
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: That I feel like in Texas people believe that and

241
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: they're sold. They're like, but if we get engaged, but

242
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: it will stop the foolery. Damn. I wonder if that

243
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: merch will do numbers in Texas for all my people

244
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: who believe that. They're like, however, you won't stop the foolery.

245
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I would wear that shirt. I love that expression.

246
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: I think that it is so so funny. There are

247
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: just so many people from college that I know they

248
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: were like, I'm just here from my ring by Spring

249
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: and then they got divorced by twenty three. Ring by Spring.

250
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: That whole culture. I love it. I love to hear

251
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: it whenever I hear people from the South in Texas

252
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: talk about like just the culture around it. Meanwhile, we're

253
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: over here, like we're all haunted by our parents fucked

254
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: up marriages, Like get the funk away from me forever. Well,

255
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: isn't it the saddest thing too? Because they are also

256
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: haunted with their parents? Right, A lot of those kids

257
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: are kids of divorce. But they're like, the culture is

258
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: stronger to be married by a certain age than having

259
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: any awareness around your own trauma. Because yes, the romanticism

260
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: of the Sorridge is stronger than looking at your parents

261
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: knowing they got divorced. Right, Meanwhile, we're just like city

262
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: rats over here. Um, okay, new thing that's trending. Also

263
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: a doctor Strange trailer the tickets went on sale, and

264
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: you'll hear it was not easy to get those tickets.

265
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: If you want to see that was it like mad

266
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Multiverse to Madness was called Doctors Strange in the Multiverse

267
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: of Madness, see exactly like for me a huge strange head,

268
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Um, because of my just

269
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: weirdly shaped head. But I'm also into doctor Strange. It

270
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: all works out for all. Did you see the trailer?

271
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I have it opened literally in this tab here, but

272
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: I have not watched it. I did watch the other trailer,

273
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: and I saw it when I or like the preview

274
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: when I went to go see Spider Man back in

275
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't even remember. Two months ago I was like January. Yeah,

276
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I was with it, Yeah, January. Um. I think it's interesting.

277
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: I I'm a big marvel I mean I shouldn't say big,

278
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: and because I feel like people will come from me,

279
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: I enjoy. I'm familiar. I've kept up. I haven't seen everything,

280
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: or maybe I have, but I don't remember. I'm intrigued

281
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: by this one just because I like Scarlett Witch and

282
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about that. But I think she's supposed

283
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: to be the villain, which makes me sad because we

284
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: love to see a girl boss win and I don't

285
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: want to see her be evil, right right right, He's

286
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: like that, she's a range of emotion. She's very If

287
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: you watched One Division, you know, it was so, so,

288
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: so beautiful, and I think one of the best things

289
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: that like Disney has done with Marvel in my opinion,

290
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: I just really love to one of vision. I feel

291
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: like I really gave a female character depth in a

292
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: way that we don't normally get to see those like

293
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: female superheroes or antiheroes. Um and it really like dealt

294
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: with trauma, I think in a really beautiful way. I

295
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: cried so much and I thought it was lovely. So

296
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see her in this. Okay, Okay,

297
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: I like this. I like this. Keep your eyes appeeled

298
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: for that multiverse madness. Like I got seventeen more films

299
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: to watch, and then I'll have some TV shows to

300
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: watch and then I'll start to know what's going on. Although,

301
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: like I was saying earlier, I watched I watched the

302
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: first two Spider Man movies out of order the last

303
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: month because I was like, man, let me see what

304
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: this Spider Man is about. It's just like wait, I

305
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: was watching them, like, man, I don't know what the

306
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: funk they're talking about. And I was watching the one

307
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: after uh, like the big what was it? Was it

308
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Infinity War? Yeah, the one that came after Infinity War,

309
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, the funk is this? And I

310
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: was like, I mean I know about that from the comic,

311
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: but I'm like, oh, they just did that? Not really, Yes,

312
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: the whole cinematic universe, it turns out, um and I'm

313
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: and I'm slowly getting it's weird. My whole thing is

314
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: like I used to read so many Marvel comics that

315
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: when like, my my biggest thing was x Men, I

316
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: fused with the X Men heavy I seen all the

317
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: X Men films, but the other Marvel people, I was like, Okay,

318
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: like I know enough just because of reading a lot

319
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: of x Men. Uh that Like at a certain point,

320
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I don't need to see these

321
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: movies because they're not the ones I work with. But

322
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: then I don't know that I'm nine years behind on

323
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: the discourse. Um, Palm Springs is trending. Uh. Their city

324
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: council has just authorized a new U b I universal

325
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: Basic Income pilot program for non binary and trans residents

326
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: because the city's analysis shows and I think most people

327
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: without doing a proper analysis would know that trans and

328
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: nine binary people are, as they say, quote, particularly vulnerable

329
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: in terms of like financial instability due to things like discrimination, assault, homelessness, unemployment, etcetera.

330
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: So they felt that this was a good use of

331
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: funds to begin piloting a universal basic income program. Uh,

332
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Twitter would probably I wouldn't get my news from Twitter

333
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: on this story because based on when you see it's

334
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: trend how it's trending on Twitter, it's just a bunch

335
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: of rampant homophobia and like nopp like no nuance at

336
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: all to understand the risk that trans people are at,

337
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: especially trans people of color. It's just a bunch of

338
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: stuff like, oh, you can just get there just giving

339
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: money to money, you a way to anybody, Like I

340
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: guess that's how it is in Camifornia. And it's like, well,

341
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: first of all, do you know about why you might

342
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: even need to think about a UBI pilot program where

343
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: you live? Because automation growing inequality. There's a way that

344
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: we have to actually begin to address this stuff and

345
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: figuring out if we do need I mean, I think

346
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: most people say, I mean, you can't just keep making

347
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: money while like cutting jobs and expect everybody to still

348
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: be a consumer. Um. But yeah, I mean it's it's

349
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: it's a thing that's been happening. Like, you know, there's

350
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: pilot programs in l A. There was one in Stockton famously,

351
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: uh And and all of the evidence of these programs

352
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: show like because I think most, especially conservatives, their first

353
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: instinct or even whatever fucking CNN brained liberals too, is

354
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: just like what are they gonna do with that free money?

355
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: Just use it on some What do you do with

356
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: your free money? It's like it's so, it's so it's

357
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: it's like you're allowed to spend, but they're not allowed

358
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: to spend. Even people who get are in these pilot programs,

359
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: they don't use the money frivolously. No, absolutely, And that's

360
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: why they're on the programs right exactly, because they say, Wow,

361
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: the person that was broke got bought eyeglasses for themselves

362
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: that they they've been they've been walking around barely able

363
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: to see because their eyeglasses broke. They buy uh, like

364
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: like cooking things so they can like sustain their life.

365
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: That's the kind of ship. It gohoes to. I think

366
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: because most people look at a program like this from

367
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: their place of privilege and just look at it like, well, shit,

368
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: if I got a fucking thousand extra books, I'll probably

369
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: buy a bunch of weeds. And it's like you have

370
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: the privilege to think about having an extra thousand dollars

371
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: like right, And then in your first instinct isn't well,

372
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: I have shelter, I have food, I have these other

373
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: I have my health. Um so then what are my

374
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: secondary and tertiary needs which will maybe look frivolous, but

375
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: you know the that's the thing about empathy is you've

376
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: got to be able to see it through someone else's eyes. Um. Anyway,

377
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: that's what is trending today. Um for what is this

378
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: fund day? Yeah, it's Wednesday, April six, shout out to them.

379
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: Uh to all the April birthdays. Um. What else is

380
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,280

Speaker 1: shitty person. Try and understand. People need help, and that's okay.

388
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Even if it's you you need help, that's okay. You

389
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: should tell somebody. You should just be able to express

390
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: that without judgment. Uh And and if you need a
