37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: His coronation will see more than a thousand people protesting

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: in London's Trafalgar Square, and so in order to intimidate protesters,

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: the UK Home Officer the Police Powers Unit will be

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: granted new powers as outlined in an anonymous letter. That's

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: usually a good sign, right when they when they keep

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: it anonymous.

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, you know what, anytime someone's granted new powers

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 3: and it's not a fucking like a Pokemon or some shit,

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah I'm not for that.

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: So here here's a couple red flags on these new powers.

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: They were rushed into law to prevent disruption and they

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: were granted in an anonymous letter, so nobody wanted to

49
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: sign their name to it. The also bad sign. Another

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: flag popped, another flag on this one. The United Nations

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: High Commissioner for Human Rights called the legislation deeply troubling. Ah,

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: so we'll see how all of this goes. I mean it,

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: we'll probably just you know, the mainstream media is not

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: going to be covering them like arresting people four hours

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: before the festivities begin.

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Dude, you know what these fucking powers are for? Old Bill?

57
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: As they say over there.

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: Under the new law, protests to interfere with key national infrastructure,

59
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: such as blocking roads and railways, could face twelve months

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: behind bars in unlimited fine. We're both, I'm sorry, unlimited fine?

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: Is that like a spell from magic to gathering? Anyone

62
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 3: quote locking on or physically attaching themselves to other people, objects,

63
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: or buildings to cause serious disruption could face six months

64
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: behind bars, an unlimited fine, or both, and police will

65
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: be empowered to stop in search protesters suspected of having

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: intent to yo.

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: That's this is the fuck part.

68
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: The police will be empowered to stop in search protesters

69
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: suspected of having intent to commit an offense.

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: I suspect of the intent.

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I have some suspicions about their intent, so I'm

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: sure that will all be handled and used very responsibly.

73
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Yea in London which had missile launchers on like built

74
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: rocket launchers onto their buildings during the twenty twelve Olympics.

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Uh is where it is, where they were at, so

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: they keep it cool. Yeah, there's a grand coronation party

77
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,159

Speaker 2: Called its crescent.

98
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: where is it? Located in Berkleyanis and San Francisco, which

99
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: opened in nineteen eighty two with two locations, is now closing.

100
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,279

102
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: months too, on Api Heritage Month. But yeah, it's uh

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: that's the written word. Man, nobody's fucking with it like that. Yeah,

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: it's wild too, Like it's it. Every time I see

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 3: a new bookstore open up, I'm like heartened, and then

106
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: the cynical side of me is.

107
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: Like, please don't get fucked up by Amazon.

108
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah hold on.

109
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: But I think that's why it's you know, it's funny too,

110
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: because I I fucking loved the bookstore as a kid.

111
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: That was like the one place my mom might buy

112
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: me some.

113
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: Ship yeah books and the best that was like my favorite.

114
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: Like I have memories of that store and no other

115
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: just like a local bookstore where you just like go

116
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: and read and fucking.

117
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean the local.

118
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: See I didn't really have local because at that point,

119
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: like everything was at the mall, like I'll go to

120
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: Walden Books or like Brentano's.

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: You remember that ship. Did you have Brentano's.

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. They had the.

123
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: Green bag, the green shopping bag, and then it became

124
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: Bookstar on Ventura, and then that became Barnes and Noble.

125
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: But anyway, I just there's something about going to a

126
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 3: bookstore that I love.

127
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: You remember clearly Canadian, those Sparta flavors. I would go

128
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: to the local bookstore, get the clear get a clearly

129
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,360

Speaker 2: I'm about to meet her majesty at Yeah.

162
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: Our producer Victor was like, oh, oh my god, I'm

163
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: so nostalgic for this that.

164
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: I was like, that was yes.

165
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: I had been married for five years.

166
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: Fuck Smorios doesn't do shit with me. I mean yeah,

167
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, like, was this a vibe, Victor? Were

168
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: you trying to get these smorios? Like, because I know

169
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: it is like I missed this. Was it a wave?

170
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? I completely missed this?

171
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: Oh, Victor said, I get all the Orioles.

172
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: Okay, so shout out the Oreo gang because I'm like,

173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: I I only get him when I'm super high at

174
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: like Ralph's and I remember to see if there's any

175
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: lit oreoles.

176
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Smores Girl Scout cookies are really good, so

177
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I have high hopes Girl Scouts s'mores. They just called

178
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: them s'mores, no fun play on the word. They've just

179
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: packed every cubic centimeter of these cookies with as much

180
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: sugar as it will take before just like bursting into

181
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: a pile of like sugar granules. And that they're wonderful.

182
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know that's the one. That's the sandwich

183
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: cookie one. I think there's a different version for the

184
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: East Coast Girl Scout cookies.

185
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: But oh right, because it's either you get it from

186
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: one of two shops, right or we were talking about

187
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: that when you're blowing the lid open on big Girl

188
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: Scout Cookie.

189
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that's it. Was the Watergate of the Daily Zeikeeist. Yeah,

190
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

191
00:09:49,400 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: right back. We're back, and Serbia is doing something.

192
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: I just what this is. This is so that you

193
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: can't do that.

194
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 3: This is so difficult to read from the Washington Post.

195
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna read you this fucking opening paragraph from

196
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: this article quote Serbian president. Serbian President Alexander Vucic pledged

197
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: to disarm the country, proposing gun control measures on Friday

198
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: after two shootings, one of them out of school, killed

199
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: at least sixteen people. The rampages this week shook the

200
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: Balkan nation, where such shootings were relatively rare. It's just

201
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: wild when you see they're like, oh my, like again,

202
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: like a fucked up, terrible mass shooting, and then this

203
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: one is all right, that's it.

204
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: We're tightening up the gun laws.

205
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: Uh.

206
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: Just it's very frustrating, such a.

207
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: Very very hard I mean, I guess it's like, hey,

208
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: it's possible. You know. We always point to Australia as

209
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: the example of like, hey, it's possible, but maybe maybe

210
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: this will remind people that it's possible.

211
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like the weird thing though too. You

212
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: most a majority of Americans are like, bro, I don't

213
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: give a fuck.

214
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: I want to be safe. Yeah, but it's there's something

215
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: about the way the messaging reaches people where they're just

216
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: like it's impossible, right. Yeah.

217
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: And also like I remember when Vin like I think

218
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: I still remember when Vera Das came on, just talking

219
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: about how like again we've we've made these things like

220
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: sanctified to the point that they are rhetorically untouchable topics. Yeah,

221
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: but yeah, this is anyway, Uh, congratulations.

222
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: Things happened.

223
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 2: But yeah, hope hopefully you get that, get that done.

224
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: Yes, Uh, COVID is over, so that's cool, all right,

225
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: let's move on.

226
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: I guess it was this podcast.

227
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the World Health Organization just announced that COVID

228
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: nineteen is no longer a global health emergency.

229
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: Oh really, there's no more deaths. People aren't dying anymore.

230
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: Uh just over threey five hundred people a week at

231
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: this point, So when it was really bad, less people

232
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: are dying. So that's good we can And it's also

233
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: people are officially tired of paying attention to it, so

234
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: they're they there is a big like graphic put out

235
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: by the World Health Organization breaking COVID nineteen global health

236
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: emergency is over.

237
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: And the stock price shot through the roof.

238
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. They're also saying that officially seven million people die,

239
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: but that the real number is probably closer to twenty million,

240
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: and that the virus is still a significant threat. So

241
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: it's interesting.

242
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: Oh's over.

243
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 3: But here's the thing about pandemics, as they said they

244
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: truly end. This is from one of the people there,

245
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: say they truly end when the next one begins.

246
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, So in this job that is has huge practical

247
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: impacts on people's day to day lives. They're getting very

248
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: theoretical here.

249
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, like, what's I mean again? And

250
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: you look at because you.

251
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: Know, we're on the verge of announcing we've KOed COVID

252
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 3: in this country. Yeah, from Joe Byron. So then that

253
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: means we can end the emergency and end the considerations

254
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: we're giving because of it.

255
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. So while COVID continues to kill thousands of people

256
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: each month, the emergency is ending, But we're entering the

257
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: twenty third year of the nine to eleven emergency. That's real. Yeah,

258
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: still a national emergency period declared over September eleventh.

259
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's still in place.

260
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: Hey, I still remain vigilant. I still am ready to

261
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: say something when I see something, doesn't matter what it is.

262
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: If I see anything, I will say it makes me

263
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: feel like I have a purpose in this world. So

264
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: workers are saying that they engage in productivity theater for

265
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: over ten hours a week to appear by survey shows,

266
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: which I think is being reported because people are like, wow,

267
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: that's a lot. I feel like that is there being

268
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: conservative there.

269
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, to say what ten hours?

270
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: That's if you work forty hours, that twenty five percent

271
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: of your time is just fucking around.

272
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Three quarters of your time is spent doing actual work.

273
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: Get the workplace the fuck out of here.

274
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: No, I mean yeah, it I don't know. Depends on

275
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: it honestly depends on what you do. Like if you're

276
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: in an office type setting where you like it is

277
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: about like just get these two things done the whole day. Yeah,

278
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: but we act like it's a big deal. Then, Yeah,

279
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: my ass is jerking around like a fucking clown. I

280
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: was telling you off, Mike. If like I was the

281
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: I was a Tony Award winning productivity theater artist, Okay, yeah,

282
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: and I would I have knew how to fucking I

283
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: knew how to not work.

284
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

285
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: If I had a chatty boss, I get the chatty

286
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: boss just going on some shit. I'd be like, what

287
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: happened with your weekend when I met your daughter's soccer game? No?

288
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: No, the ref Oh no, that wouldn't be me. That

289
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't be me, Diana, that would not be me. All right, man,

290
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go outside real quick. And I got high

291
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: in my in my Honda.

292
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: They are included also, Like I think it's complete bullshit

293
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: that it's that low. When you read their definition of

294
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: what productivity theater is, they say it includes attending unnecessary meetings.

295
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: We're spending excessive amounts of time on administrative task. That's

296
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: that's of the American work.

297
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, week right there in these kind of like you know,

298
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: what were those jobs we're talking what's that category of

299
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: shop jobs?

300
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

301
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like when you do that, yeah, that's that's

302
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: most of it. But the real part, in my mind,

303
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: it's when you're not doing shit at all, not like

304
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: trying to get the most out of like a task

305
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: just so you can like you can just clock out

306
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: of five, like I'm talking about like fake shit. Yeah, yeah,

307
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: like being like Yo, I had to. I'm sorry, I had

308
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: to go fix something on the copy machine.

309
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I didn't. Yeah, said just take a little walk,

310
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: nice little walk. Spend some time in the bathroom even

311
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: though you're not going to the mic.

312
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: Yo that time, just me time I had a I

00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: He would.

00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: He would be shitting for two hours and watch a

316
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: movie on his phone. Yeah, And I was like that

317
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: that's some that's not even productivity theater. That's straight up

318
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: just you're going to the theater in the bathroom stall.

319
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. At least shout out to them for recognizing that

320
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these meetings don't need to happen.

321
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: And if you think about it, right, like, let's let's

322
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: just I know, we say that's charitable, but we presume

323
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: that if twenty five percent is bullshit, then get rid

324
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: of twenty five percent.

325
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: Of the work week.

326
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is why I think a lot of people,

327
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, the CEOs are reading this and being like,

328
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: so that seems like we could pay them twenty five

329
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: percent less. No, how do we use Amazon's technology to

330
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: uh focus on how much time they're actually spending on

331
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: task and then use that to uh save for savings

332
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: purposes to deliver value to our shareholders.

333
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: So you know what's funny.

334
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: The most militant like type of asshole bosses I had

335
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: was when I was a PA, when I used to

336
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: like be a PA, when I was coming up like

337
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: a production assistant on like TV or film sets or whatever.

338
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Oh damn, like film and TV producers or villains. I

00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: didn't get that from this week.

340
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: But but it's wild though.

341
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: It would be like a it would be like a

342
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: fucking Coppo type situation where you would have somebody who's

343
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: just like a couple of layers above you, not even

344

346
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: to be active all the time. I don't want to

347
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: see a cell phone.
