Speaker 1: just fell out of my pocket. I'm trying this new

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: thing where I don't have the case on the outside

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: of my phone. I just have the like scream cover

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: and it just makes your phone so slippery. Yeah, it

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: just falls all over the place at the met not. No,

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: you like to live so dangerously, Jack. I thought you

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: were just conservative dad, but here you are just be like,

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, if my phone breaks the break, that's just

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: like a conservative days. Damn. I mean I do. I

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: do get very excited about door clamps and see clamps,

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: lamps of all sizes. You know, a lot of people

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: think that I won't go into it. We'll do that

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: on a future episode. I don't want to burn all

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: my good material uptop man. It is interesting to find

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: that you, as a podcast host don't have an anxiety

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: disorder as big as mine, you know what I mean,

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: which is what drives me to keep my case on

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: my iPhone all the time. What I have is a

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: d D and a daily podcast where I like find

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: out stuff like I found out last week. There's a

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: thing called the back tap where you can like tap

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: the back of your phone if you don't have a

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: case on it, and it like is like a fourth

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: hidden button on your iPhone and you can program it

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: to do things such as open Shazam. I'm told I

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: haven't figured that one out yet. What but yeah, I haven't.

34
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: I haven't figured it out. But and I've only used

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: to like once. This sounds like you're trying to get

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: me to This is some sort of like lie to

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: get me to break my phone, like the pool on

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: top of the middle school where you like trying to

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: go up there throw it at the ground you get money.

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Money just comes out. It's like, yeah, it just becomes gold.

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Try it. Yeah, I'm obsessed with the premise of your podcast.

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: What's it called is where you guys rename stuff? Right? Yes? Yes,

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: it's uh man, you know what like you know how

44
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: it is you make something you don't want to like

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: blow smoke. I don't want to like act like I'm

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: so great or something. But I've made a lot of stuff,

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: and that podcast is the most fun I've ever had.

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: We uh yeah, we just picked something either in pop

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: culture or something in the past pop culture and come

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: up with new names from it, like really old stuff

51
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: like ancient history. Yeah, like Middle Ages, stuff like from

52
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: two years ago and then like thousands of years ago. Like. Yeah,

53
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: it's fun. Man, I host with Caleb signing he's left fun.

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Also previous guest on this show what and you guys

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: recently did Taco Bell? Yeah, that episode came out yesterday.

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: This is February one. Yeah, I came out yesterday. Man. Yeah,

57
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: and I don't remember what we renamed it. But it's

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: about the journey, right, Yes, there really is. I don't

59
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: really even if we pick one. Yeah, it's not like

60
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: somebody could just go in and like do a like

61
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: the answers, like just a list answers. Here's what they

62
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: named it. Don't worry, you don't have to listen to

63
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: the show. I feel like a time or two we

64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: have a definitive like this should be the name, Like

65
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: we renamed Titanic boat all caps and that made it

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: and made us both laughs. So we were like, all right,

67
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: we're done. This is a short episode. Yeah, but yeah,

68
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the rest are left up to interpretation for sure. Yeah

69
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the movie Boat, Yeah, the movie. No, not the though

70
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: naming the boat boat might have made history a little

71
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: more fun. Amazing boat died, Boat hit Ice and everyone died.

72
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: If the news were like that, it will be a

73
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Boat did Ice just saying that if

74
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: James Cameron wasn't so intent on naming everything something that

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: begins with T, yeah or A it's A or T

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: or the or his only options but boat, he could

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: have created a whole franchise, which apparently loves doing based

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: on the Avatar franchise, because it's just an Avatar to coming,

79
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: isn't there yea here Supposedly. Nothing is more mind blowing

80
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: to me than that. That seems like the grossest misinterpretation

81
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: of why a movie made money in the history. And

82
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: yet Dave, I'm excited for it. Well, I'm so sorry.

83
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: Disney Investment hire Park into Avatar, so they're definitely going

84
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: to keep those movies coming back. Is that true? Did

85
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: I just not get it? Like I thought that we

86
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: all were like, this is bad, but the fireflies being

87
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: flying around your head were cool. So the three D

88
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: technology I do think was a major factor in why

89
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: people like Went and Saw in the first place. But

90
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: it definitely has its die hard fans and they are

91
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: like desperate for this second movie. And it's also there's

92
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: just Cameron Stands, you know, so it'll probably like all

93
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: Hollywood movies that are not that great. Actually, it'll still

94
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: make money in the park, will still look cool, and

95
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: we'll probably get another dope flying right out of it.

96
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: So you know, it's like there's capitals and we're just

97
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna enjoy the ride. Yeah, yeah, and you know, like

98
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: special effects are great and great side like good looking

99
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: sci fi is great. You know. Yeah, I'm sure all

100
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: feel the same way about the first movie. I'll love

101
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: the park. I'll love watching it, and I'll just think

102
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: the plot was dumb, but I'll probably have a good time. Yeah. Yeah, literally,

103
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: how I felt the fact that the ride is supposedly

104
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: so good is what se excites me because I haven't

105
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: done that, but like, I don't, I don't know, he

106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: just doesn't doesn't miss that often. He generally like creates

107
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: a good time at THEA at the movie theaters. So

108
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm assuming a lot based on that. You know, conservative

109
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: dads are out here and we're we're like Jim Jim Cameron.

110
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: He you know, if he believes in it, then we

111
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: do too. What's the conservative dad promise? What is something

112
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: from your search history? Should I upgrade from THET? All? Right? Okay,

113
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funk that means. That's a

114
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: that's that's that same song life, So let me let

115
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: me write, am I right? That's that guy? That's right?

116
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: So you know what you know. I think it was

117
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: one of the first quotes when I was when I

118
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: when my show was on, I heart that people related

119
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: to when I was like, iPhones are to all life

120
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: matters of cell phones because people be people be people

121
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: be shopping on people. And I had an Android fast

122
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: I got an iPhone now because I was giving a

123
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: free iPhone and I was like, all right, free phone,

124
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I need to upgrade. But I was

125
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: Android life for a while and the segregation that Apple

126
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: does it's ridiculous. But because you know what it is

127
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: like for me, it's like having an Android is like

128
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: having like one of those remember when the old laptops

129
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: like huge and they had a big ask dusty fan

130
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: on it. Uh huh sounded like it was taking off. Yeah,

131
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: And then and then having the iPhone is like you

132
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: know those those those little like toy computers where you

133
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: you would open up and be like, would you like

134
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: to play again? It's like that. It's like and you

135
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: get all the same stuff done, and but it's just

136
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: it's simpler and easier with the iPhone. But but then

137
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: when I want to do something complex, it's like I'm

138
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: always gonna running back. Yeah you can't. You can't. So

139
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, to answer your question, I don't know if

140
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: you came up with then, but yeah, man, go ahead,

141
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: keep it alive for the Android family. Mean the truth,

142
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Is anybody that's googling that question is

143
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: getting the two? What are we even talking about here?

144
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. I know, I'm always get it.

145
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: You know rarely is the answer? No, You're good, Like, yeah,

146
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: that's not what you end up fun what if the

147
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: first what are the first answer was? No? Man, go

148
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: on hand and get that iPhone. Bro. I like, I like,

149
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm not answering iPhone though, but they but boy of

150
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the iPhone. You know, fans, they're the man. They're like supporters, yea,

151
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: they just rabbit any criticism they can't handle. It's funny

152
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: because the iPhone, like you pointed out, the iPhone is

153
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: designed like for stupid people, are like people who aren't

154
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: good at using technology and you know, need it put

155
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: on a platter for them and made like fun and pretty.

156
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: And then to be a snob about that, to be like, well,

157
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: I like, I just like the design simplicity of it.

158
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: It's like, well, you you like the fact that it's

159
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: made for a child, so that a child could use it.

160
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: But that's not a thing to be snobby about. I

161
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: phone is made for anybody, right, But that's a weird

162
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: thing to like take pride in and look down your

163
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: nose as somebody else about And the Android I made

164
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: for the smart ones. Now, I do have an iPhone now,

165
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: so I'm you know, I'm not including to myself and that,

166
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: but for everybody else that has an iPhone, I feel

167
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: like the only difference I've ever noticed is like between

168
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: the two is like my sister in law is always

169
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Android and her pictures look a lot better than anybody else.

170
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: That's pictures like, I don't know if she's just good

171
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: at it or if her phone just has better because

172
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: because listen, the worst phones in the world are Androids,

173
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: right right right. But by the newest iPhone, doesn't that

174
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: necessarily mean you have the best phone. But people that

175
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: people that are iPhone people just think that. Yeah, they

176
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: think they just I see I'm at because I always

177
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: got the latest. I usually have a note. That's why

178
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm think about that. That's twenty two. I usually have

179
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the latest note and I have motherfucker's with an iPhone

180
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: eight like looking at me snobby because they gotta they

181
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: got a different color text from me or something like

182
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: they they really it's even it's even comedians that's on

183
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: this the thing. Oh you got, oh you got a

184
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,679

189
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: I can never break into like Android is because like

190
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,000

222
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I thought, that's that's a

223
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: good good staging. Though you have a called a woman masturbating.

224
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: That don't happen. Women don't even have those stories. Yeah,

225
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: you gotta all you gotta do to catch a man

226
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: masturbate and then lead a house with two men isn't

227
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: walked back in so you can jerk off. Why is

228
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: the towel crispy? Right? Joe sucksby? What do you know

229
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: what something you think is overrated? The north Face? Oh?

230
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: I think I think I think the north Face is overrated.

231
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: To be honest, I got a couple of things listed,

232
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: but that one, that one jumped out of me right away.

233
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about the clothing company, not the north

234
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: face of an actual mountain. Yes, the north Face Clothing Company.

235
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: Like I and I got some I got a pair

236
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: of shoes there and I got and I have a coat.

237
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I. I used to live in Brooklyn,

238
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: so you have to have a north Face jacket. Gotta

239
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: have it. But like it just you know, it's just

240
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: just ski clothes, that's all it is. It's closed for skiing,

241
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: and like everyone's wearing them, but like you're supposed to

242
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: ski with them, and like this seems I don't know,

243
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like it's overkilled. It's overkilled. I

244
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: want to see a little bit more imagination in my

245
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, my street fashions. I just think that I

246
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: think that north Face is just you know, it's it's

247
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 1: played out. I'm feeling it, that's anyway. I feel like

248
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: there's just too much more to face out there. Okay,

249
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: it's like the Midwest uniform, which is like you know

250
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: a pair of black leggings, some brown ug boots and

251
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: like you know, a cream colored sweater. Maybe you know,

252
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: something like a very basic or one of the classic

253
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: like navy blue north Face flease. Also you can go

254
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: with that outfit, you know, I get. I get some

255
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: people don't desire to be creative in their wardrobe and

256
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: that's a choice, you know. But I agree with you

257
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: that if we're gonna go like style wise, like this

258
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: is functional clothing. It's not artistically expressive in any way.

259
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, you get to choose what's on your body.

260
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: And like every day the north Faces, that's look as

261
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: someone grew up in a very hot place. I'm not

262
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I I love I love a puffer jacket,

263
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: as I can't wear them here, But you're damn sure

264
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: if I go anywhere that's like below fucking like sixty degrees,

265
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh shoot, I gotta get the north Face.

266
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a north Face. However, I will say this,

267
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: if you like north Face, they had a fleece version

268
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: of their nupzi jacket, whereas fleece on the outside, that

269
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: should look kind of cool to me. Anyway. It's not

270
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: a north Face podcast, but I get it. It's a

271
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: little bit hill. What else as overrated? The slack? I

272
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: just it's basically just a those people peace preach preach

273
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: we had, Okay, I I have a day job and

274
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: they were talking about how this client was getting upset

275
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: about using email, and like there was the thread in

276
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: the Slack channel where they're like, emails just so retro.

277
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: We should we should give them a Slack channel. And

278
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, come on, you're just you're just aiming them,

279
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: You're just texting them. It's not Slack. Isn't this thing

280
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: that like revolutionizes shit. It's just a little it's a

281
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: little app you can talk, right, It's also the great distract. Like, yes,

282
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: it absolutely just creates more chaos. They're like no, like

283
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: all your thoughts will be organized and needer in this platform.

284
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: But what really happens is now not only to check

285
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: my email and my text messages, but also I'm constantly

286
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: being pinned by Slack and because humans are humans, often

287
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: it's not about work. And now I'm pissed. What are

288
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: you dragging me into? I'm so busy. I hate Slack.

289
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: I so when I was in freelance, every different place

290
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: I was freelancing had their own individual Slack and they

291
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: all expected you to check it. Seven. I have a

292
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: d D, so obviously that didn't work. It was chaos.

293
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: I hated it every time. It's funny, like whenever there

294
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: I've been in a company with Slack, I just don't

295
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: use it. I wish I wish you could email me.

296
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: You can either slack. I'm like, well I don't, so

297
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: let's just find me because I can't. I can't do

298
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: my work and constantly have people asking like the most

299
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: microscopic questions constantly and have to answer in real fun

300
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: But anyway, shout out to the sponsor slack. What is

301
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? I was thinking about this,

302
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: and I think for like a heterosexual male, to be

303
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: little spoon is very, very underrating. I don't see a

304
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: lot of guys talking about this. I feel like I'm

305
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: kind of in a unique position because my wife is

306
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: very tall. She's six ft two and I'm five nine,

307
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: So there's like a there's a hype disparity where I mean,

308
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: we kind of look like um, unlikely animal friends, like

309
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: a YouTube video of that. But during the pandemic, I

310
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: really started leaving like she would be big spoon, and

311
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: I was like, this is just the best. Why aren't

312
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: people talking about how this is the greatest thing in

313
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: the whole world and it just it could you know,

314
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: I guess maybe guys are commonly expected to be big spoon,

315
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: but for me to be little spoon, I just like, now,

316
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: I just I like asked for it like a little kid.

317
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, can I be little spoon? And it

318
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: just it just feels so great. And I encourage everyone

319
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: to do what they have it and to lean into

320
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: it because it's it's just a really nice feeling. And

321
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: I'll pick you back off that because I'm six ft tall.

322
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: And if you're you know, a woman that's never been

323
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: the big spoon before, it's fun. You know, it's you're like, wow,

324
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: this is a it's not like it's an inherently powerful thing.

325
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: But you're just like, I'm in charge of the cuddle,

326
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: all right, You're the cuddle boss. Yeah, rare to be

327
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: the alphaite in that situation for me. But then it's

328
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: like when you once you get a taste of it,

329
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: you're just like, damn all right, Yeah, men have been

330
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: feeling like this all the time. I'm in charge and

331
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm like a gentle interaction. It feels nice. I get

332
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: this like, I'm like, oh, it's just a warm and cozy,

333
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: nice feeling, and uh, I encourage everyone to do it.

334
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: It's nice love it? Do you ever just whisper I

335
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: could crush you just like you don't have to like

336
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: make it about the power, but just like a statement

337
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: of fact. Yeah, I mean you could. It's it's I

338
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: like to remind people how easily I could turn it

339
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: into a headlock if things got serious. You watch m

340
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: A because yeah, I'm just saying this is great position.

341
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: You're kind of fucked if I decided to take it

342
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: there not that yeah I would. Yeah, yeah, I just

343
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: laid over to someone's ear to like wild that you

344
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: trust me, like really leave your neck exposed. It was

345
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: just an observation. Yeah, alright, let's take a quick break

346
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back. And so,

347
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: like guess at up top we talked about Cuba making

348
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: successful vaccines despite economic sanctions, and you know, we've mentioned

349
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: economic sanctions at various times. We mostly focus on you know,

350
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: US news, but when we do talk about international news,

351
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of impossible to ignore. But I don't think

352
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: people I don't think I like even fully understood the

353
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: like violence of economic sanctions. But asal you've been discussing them,

354
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: like either on Twitter or you know, in the context

355
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: of Afghanistan and Iran, and I was just wondering if

356
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: you could kind of speak to like what what it means,

357
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: like what what what happens when the US puts economic

358
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: sanctions on on a country? Yeah, I mean I think

359
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: what you sort of like suggested right now is this,

360
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: and it's an idea within the country. I think people

361
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: don't realize it right when you hear when we hear

362
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: economic sanctions, we think like, well, it's not war, so

363
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: that's better. That's like a nice alternative. It's like the

364
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: benign way of pressuring governments rather than going to war

365
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: with them. And the reality is is that it's it's

366
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: not benign. It's extreme. I mean, it is akin to

367
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: war in the sense that like why we say we

368
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: don't say, like we shouldn't go to war because we're

369
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: wasting our I mean we do say because partially because

370
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: we're wasting our own resources. But like part of the

371
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: moral argument behind why we should avoid like war and

372
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: conflict in terms of the notion of like an international

373
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: community and why we founded those things was really like

374
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: in the wake of these massive wars World War one,

375
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: world War two, just the amount of destruction, devastation and

376
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: death that was caused by it. It was like, you know,

377
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: sort of a wake up call for the world saying, hey,

378
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: there should be better ways for us to figure out

379
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: our our differences or our problems. And so this idea

380
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: of economic coercion and economic pressure is presented like it's

381
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: the nice way of doing things, whereas it's also causes

382
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: devastation and destruction and people die because of sanctions. People

383
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: lose their livelihoods, their jobs, they live in poverty. I mean,

384
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: that is why we say we shouldn't go to war.

385
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: And yet the other part of sort of this presentation

386
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: of sanctions, the way it's talked about by US administrations,

387
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: and it's not unique to any political party, it's not,

388
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just this is U s foreign policy,

389
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: is that they target these governments that we don't like, right,

390
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: governments that you know, partaking behaviors that is not in

391
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: the interests of the United States that we don't like

392
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: for X, Y and Z reasons that we give. But

393
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: in fact the target civilians and we know this. I mean,

394
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: the literature on sanctions is so clear of who is

395
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: actually being hurt by it, and you know, sort of

396
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: these exemptions, these humanitarian exemptions get written into sanctions law,

397
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: but the reality of it is it doesn't work because

398
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: you know, you're looking at like what is a what

399
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: is the sanction for? Like a bank is saying and

400
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: a central bank of a country a sanction And they're

401
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: trying to purchase medicines, right, they're trying to purchase vaccines,

402
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: will say. In order to purchase something, you need a transaction.

403
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: There's there's always a third party. There's a bank, some

404
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: kind of financial entity in the middle that allows that

405
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: transaction to take place. And they're so scared of violating U. S.

406
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: Sanctions that they just don't do it. They won't do it.

407
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: It's not a question of whether or not they can legally,

408
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: they just won't because it's not worth it from a

409
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: business perspective. If you're a bank, right, it's not worth

410
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: it for you to allow this transaction to take place

411
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: in case, you know, you violate U. S. Sanctions. And

412
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: part of it is because there's so many it's I mean,

413
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: we ever try to read some of the bills and

414
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: things that come out of Congress. Just like legal language,

415
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: it's complicated for most people to understand. And so now

416
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: you have all of these sanctions. You have, like Iran

417
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: is the most sanctioned country in the world. You're talking

418
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: about like well over a thousand sanctions. Right. You have

419
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: entities like finance tal entities in Iran that are double

420
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: or triple sanctions, so not just sanctioned once, if that

421
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: even makes sense, but they're sanctioned under different designations. So

422
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: there's just this really complex web of sanctions. And then

423
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: you expect financial institutions to partake in transactions. They don't.

424
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: And so what happens is you have countries that have

425
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: like essential goods that they can't get. You have scarcity,

426
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: hyper inflation, unemployment, people losing literally losing their livelihoods. Right.

427
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean in Iran you have with studies from last

428
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: year that said something like ten to fIF of the

429
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: middle class had been forced into poverty. That's millions of people.

430
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: And that's not that's not the government. These governments stay

431
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: in place. I mean, the most sort of obvious example

432
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: is Cuba. It's a sixty year embarkment. What do you

433
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: do for sixty years that doesn't work that you think

434
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: year sixty one is going to do the trip? Yeah,

435
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: they all come around, We're we're closed to getting them well,

436
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: and and there's the fact there's the additional problem, which is,

437
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking at it from the United States,

438
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: are politicians and repeated US administrations talk about this idea

439
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: of like an international rules based order, international law, how

440
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: like you know, there's an international community. We love using

441
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: these phrases. But then like something like a hundred and

442
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: seventy two countries vote uh two for the thirtieth year

443
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: in a row to end the embargo on Cuba, and

444
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: two countries say no, the US and Israel, and so

445
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: that's a done deal. No embargo is not going to

446
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: be lifted. So it's like, what is that the international community? Then?

447
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: Is it just these two countries and the other hundred

448
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: and seventies forget what they have to say. So it's

449
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: it's a combination of the policy and how the policy

450
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: is implemented when you look at it on a sort

451
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: of like international scale, and the fact that we just

452
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: don't do any of these things consistently, Like we're like, oh,

453
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: we don't like this country, so they're going to get sanctioned,

454
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 1: but this other country that does the exact same thing.

455
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: You guys are cool. You You're never gonna get sanction

456
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: no matter what you do. Yeah, yeah, I agree. It's

457
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: it's such a like you would think like it's all politics,

458
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: but it's like no, it's all like money and playing

459
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: favorites and doing and making the US money and making

460
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Israel money. And if you can't do that, then honey,

461
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: you don't got a shot, and your people have to

462
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: now starve to death in the streets and they can't

463
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: have ppe and they can't have you know, basic human

464
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: rights because the US is like not feeling it. It's

465
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: a really it's so dark that it's just generally there's

466
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: no like, there's nothing that they can say, like even

467
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: we watch it. We watched on the news, we watched

468
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: Biden be like this has to happen because of this,

469
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: this and this, and you're like not really, like but

470
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: you can see. You can go online and read what's happening.

471
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: You can go online and see like actual news. You

472
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: can go to like Al Jazeera, you can go to

473
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: like read what's going on and be like, I don't know,

474
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's necessary to the extremes that

475
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: we take it too, especially with the URON, when you

476
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: can actually go and look at what's being reported about

477
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: their nuclear program and these choices and these are just

478
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: it's just like, well, I don't know, Israel is like

479
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: not feeling it. Yeah, you're like, well, oh good, oh

480
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: well you're right. Well I've I've trying to pose this

481
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: question where it's like, okay, so let's say right now,

482
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk about Russia in Ukraine. Right,

483
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: it's just Russia Ukraine, Russia Ukraine constantly, and what is

484
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: what is it that we're saying Russia is doing that's

485
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: wrong that they shouldn't be doing. Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

486
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: Russia can invade a sovereign nation. I mean, is no

487
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: one seeing the irony of the United States saying you

488
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: can't invade sovereign countries. So that's a basis for we're

489
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: going to massively punish the Russian governments, the Russian government.

490
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: I put in quotes because again it's broad scale. Sanctions

491
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: would punish Russian people, But we're gonna punish the Russian

492
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: government because they invaded a sovereign country. Same thing we did.

493
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: We put sanctions for human rights violations. The US is

494
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, obviously country that throughout its own wars and

495
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: committing war crimes is abusing human rights and domestically, of course,

496
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: you can talk about systemic racism. You can talk about

497
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: the fact that we have the most prisoners in the world.

498
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: In fact, one of every four prisoners on the planet

499
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: is in the United States. So these are all things

500
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: that we could that we sanction other countries for it

501
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: that we do ourselves. We sanction members of other countries, politicians,

502
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: and other countries on corruption charges. This while while in

503
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: the US, US politicians buy stocks and make money off

504
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: of industries that they regulate, which in any other context

505
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: we would call corruption, but in the US is called capitalism.

506
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: So there's that. So the question becomes, okay, would would

507
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: be justified if right now, Americans lost their savings, we're starving,

508
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: couldn't access medicines in a pandemic because of the actions

509
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: of the U. S government, which, according to the government itself,

510
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: are all sanctionable, sanctionable crimes, right, because that's what we

511
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: say to other countries. So it's just this constant loop

512
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: of hypocrisy. That is, if you pay attention to it

513
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: long enough, you miss being bored. Like I said, boredom

514
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: it is under it. It's just the more you pay

515
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: attention the more frustrating it is, because like what, we're

516
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: just full of ship. That's the only way of saying it.

517
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: That that's very honest. It's like we just we do

518
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: things and then punish other countries for doing the same

519
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: things we do, Right, You retweeted a headline about over

520
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: a million fleet as Afghanistan's economy collapses and added that

521
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: Afghans are selling their children and organs to survive while

522
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: the US is intentionally choking Afghanistan's economy because we lost

523
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: a twenty year war. Like that's yeah, that that's just

524
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that is not getting the level of

525
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: attention that it probably deserves in the in the mainstream media.

526
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: That like that is what is happening. That is the

527
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: con sequence, and it's being done in these bills and

528
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: that that if you read them all, it would break

529
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: your brain. Like you you come out like the other

530
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: end with just like a thirty thousand miles stare because

531
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: so like they they know how to do it in

532
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: a way that is so boring that people won't pay

533
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: attention to it. But the the whole idea of economic

534
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: sanctions and like how Americans kind of justified to themselves

535
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: reminds me of the attitude of like corporations who want

536
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: credit for giving jobs to people, like who think people

537
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: should be like grateful for Like Trump at one point

538
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: was asked, like what humanitarian thing, like to name a

539
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: single humanitarian thing he'd ever done, and he talked about,

540
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: like what if heat and clothe thousands of people who

541
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: worked for my company. I give so many jobs. I'm

542
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: a job creator, and like that idea that like rather

543
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: than like, these are people that should be grateful too

544
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: because they serve me and I get to be a

545
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: billionaire celebrity. Uh, Instead of that, it's like, you know,

546
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: they owe me because I created this job, even though

547
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: that job would have been there just with a different

548
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: asshole at the top, probably if Donald Trump didn't exist.

549
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: But like with the U s and sanctions, obviously it's different,

550
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: but like I feel like it's similar logic, Like the

551
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: US creates the situations where they need people to do

552
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: things that aren't in their best interest and then starve

553
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: them when they don't do those things. And again they

554
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: act like they should get credit for like any economic

555
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: activity that happens anywhere in the world, and it's like

556
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: their right to withhold economic activity, like the US economy

557
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: is coming over there and like feeding them normally and

558
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: then just choosing not to with economic sanctions. But like

559
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: it would be easier for them to do nothing and

560
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: let children eat and like let their families like get

561
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 1: the food that like the global economy would bring to them.

562
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: But instead they are doing a great deal of work

563
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: to kill people, to like starve people in ways that

564
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: are just like don't don't make headlines. Yeah, that that

565
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: the fact that doesn't make headlines is the important part, right,

566
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: There were a lot of headlines during the Afghanistan withdrawal,

567
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: so drawing from Afghanistan, everyone across the media spectrum was

568
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: constantly talking about it, and and on sort of right

569
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: wing media that wanted to criticize Biden for withdrawing. It

570
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: was a question of abandoning the Afghan people, right, it

571
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: was abandoning the So that was the big things, like, oh,

572
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: look what we're doing to Afghan people, because they of

573
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: course care so deeply about the population of Afghanistan. Now

574
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: those same people are just silent on the fact that

575
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: you have I mean, when you read this worries about

576
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: people literally lining up to like sell Organs because they're

577
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: trying to survive there they're setting when people talk about

578
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 1: selling their children. There's another situation. There's another humanitarian crisis,

579
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: what has been deemed the worst humanitarian crisis in the

580
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: world in Yemen, which the US is also complicit in.

581
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: Um So I always think, like, think about that fact.

582
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: Here we are talking about human rights, were centering human

583
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: rights in foreign policy, and we love human rights, are

584
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: so important to us, and yet the US is complicit

585
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: in the world's worst ongoing humanitarian crisis and is now

586
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: complicit and actually actively involved in the world's worst oncoming

587
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. So number one and number two,

588
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: the US is behind that in both cases. It's like,

589
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: how can you still reasonably say that we are concerned about,

590
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, the fate of afghan people when you know

591
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: more than half the population is facing starvation in freezing

592
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: winter and we just do nothing about it. We will spend,

593
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: so we will spend. The United States will spend trillions

594
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: of dollars, put American soldiers and harms away, a wage

595
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: a war and bomb a country for two decades in

596
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: the name of liberating them, but then won't lift a

597
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: finger to not let them start. Yeah, like, this doesn't

598
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: require the US to do anything, just allow them access. Two,

599
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: what belongs to the Afghan people, Like the funds of

600
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: the Central Bank of Afghanistan belongs to the Afghan people,

601
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: and that is being frozen. They have no access to it,

602
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: which is what central reason why the economy is in

603
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: free fall. It's collapsing, right, Yeah, it's requiring intervention by

604
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: the US. Two. Put these sanctions in place, and that

605
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: is preventing that. Like it's like, I think people just

606
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: have such a US centric view of the world that

607
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: they're just like, yeah, well they don't get the nice

608
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: things that we give to other countries as opposed to

609
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: the US is going in and like freezing their economy

610
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: essentially and starving people as a consequence. We think about

611
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: the fact that the projections are that more Afghans will

612
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: die of starvation now in the as a consequence of

613
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: US economic policy, then died in twenty years war. Jesus. Wow,

614
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: it's uh. And then you know, naturally the US will

615
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: then go sell weapons into the region and make money

616
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: off that, causing further destabilization and violence. It's great, Yeah,

617
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: we just make money. It's for us to make money, right,

618
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: every time. I was actually one of the most interesting points.

619
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, look at these quote terrorists who have weapons,

620
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: they get weapons. I'm like, well, you know, if you

621
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: wanted less weapons in the Middle East, you could just

622
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: stop selling them there. Yeah, you can stop start giving

623
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: them weapons. It's like, oh, Saudi Arabia is committing war

624
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: crimes in Yemen gets to the US America's number one

625
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: arms by is Saudi Arabia, and we just sell them

626
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: over and over again with no you know, with no thought.

627
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: It's like where if we have the world's leading like

628
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: I think something like close to the entire world's military

629
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: budget spent by the US, we're also the world's number

630
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: one arms dealer. And it's just like, well we are

631
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: are so much of our economy is run on weapons,

632
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, we're we're peaceful nation. I'm like,

633
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: that doesn't add up, That doesn't really add up very well. Yeah,

634
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: that's the degree to which the US economy since like

635
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of the twentieth century has been propped up

636
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: by the military military industrial complex, and like we we

637
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: like it came up when people were comparing some of

638
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: the budgetary you know, infrastructure bills or like humanitarian aid

639
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: domestically with the defense budget, and they were like, oh,

640
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: this thing that's being described in the media as a

641
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: ten billion dollar bill that's over the course of like

642
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: a decade, and the military budget is ten times that

643
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: for just this year. Like it's just invisible to people

644
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 1: and therefore just like so powerful and just like gets

645
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: away with like doing really whatever they want. But I

646
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: think it, like, is the secret behind the U. S

647
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: economy that like Americans don't want to look at, is

648
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: that the entire economy is propped up by the fact

649
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: that they spend as much as they want on the

650
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: military on weapons. And yeah, it's yeah, that comparison point

651
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: was so important, right when when we looked at like

652
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: build back better or any anything where it with social services, right,

653
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: like services actually safety nets for American people cannot get

654
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: that passed in Congress. Even you've in a Congress that is,

655
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, a House and Senate with Democrat majorities and

656
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: Democrat white House. I think one of the biggest frustrations

657
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: for me is when you listen to the Biden app

658
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: and say, oh, you know the Republicans, I'm like, well,

659
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: is it Yeah, like it is to a certain extent,

660
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: but also you have the majority and everything. So somehow

661
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: amazingly the Republicans when they are a majority can do

662
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: whatever they want, and then when they're a minority, they

663
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: can block everything. And Democrats are always helpless. Hm majority

664
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: of minorities is always helpless, almost as if that's their job. Secretly,

665
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: that's what they're there for, is to be that they're

666
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: not all money in their pockets as well, to like

667
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: claim the progressive ideals but then actually not not get

668
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: any of them to move forward well, in order to

669
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: sort of like sell this idea. First of all, the

670
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: factcrats called defense budget is itself right, like we're not

671
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: we are no one is attacking us here, like when

672
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: this is not happening in America, whereas everywhere else in

673
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: the world there they like if you look at the

674
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: Middle East, especially where we've had the biggest footprint in

675
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of decades, I mean, there's constant, constant

676
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: war all over the region. And so we talked about

677
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: defense when our military is across the world, like no

678
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: one is at our borders. We have the U. S

679
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: Military military bases all over the world. We have you know,

680
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of the Persian Gulf. You have the

681
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: U s Coast Guard. I love that. That's one of

682
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: my favorite things. The U. S Coast Guard, the US Coast,

683
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: the guard of the US coast is And so you

684
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: have to have this sort of media hysteria that we're

685
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: always in danger, because the only way to justify the

686
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: amount of money we spend is that it's protective American.

687
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Biden actually said that today about

688
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: the attack in Syria that took out I don't know

689
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,479
Speaker 1: how many leaders ISIS has, but yet another ISIS leader

690
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: that took out an ISIS leader, killed the few of

691
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: several civilians, and then he said something to the effective

692
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: or tweeted something to the effective, you know, protecting American

693
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: lives at home or something like. But Syria is not

694
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: attacking the US, right, There are no Syrian troops in

695
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: the US. There are no Syrian troops or military basis

696
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: anywhere close, not even on the same hemisphere. And somehow

697
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: that's that's the way that it's framed. So it's you know,

698
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: these countries are all a threat to the US, Russia, China, Iran,

699
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: at one point it was Iraq, which is why we

700
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: had to invade Afghanistan, which is why we had to invade.

701
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: So you're we're we're bombarded, which is like psychological torture

702
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: to do that to your own people, Like we are

703
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 1: bombarded with messages that tell us we're always under threat.

704
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: So that justifies just trillions of dollars constantly being spent

705
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: on on wars abroad. Yeah, it's really fucking mess. Here's

706
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: here's my pitch. So we continue to call it the

707
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: defense budget, right, but we pivoted to social services. But

708
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: we continue to call the defense budget because we need

709
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: defense from the US government the people. Because even one

710
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: third of that budget could do miracles for this country's

711
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: social services. Yeah, just even the bare minimum to give

712
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: us healthcare. I think it used to be called like

713
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: the war budget or something. Howard Zenn writes about that

714
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: in A People's History of the United States, that the

715
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: Department changed its name when they stopped waging defensive wars

716
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: and moved into starting to be like offensive. They changed

717
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: their name to Department of Defense. To throw everybody off

718
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: the center, and it was Department of War. That's what

719
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: it was. It was the Department of War, and Department

720
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: of War became Department of Defense. Yeah, and can you

721
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: imagine how much they paid the pr agency that helped

722
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: them pivot, Like, and we just kind of have a

723
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: little positive spin. Maybe let make it look like we're

724
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: in trouble. They probably gave them cartoon bombs. Yeah, that's

725
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: probably where it all comes from. Like, now make all

726
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: imagery a little cartoonish and everyone will be like, oh

727
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: my god, how cute. We do need that nuclear bomb? Okay, great,

728
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we're gonna

729
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: come back and we're going to talk about Rudy Giuliani

730
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: and Dolly Parton because we have to. And we're back.

731
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: If I said Nicholas Cage was a goth with that

732
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: track with it, either of you, it would make sense

733
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, it depends on how you're envisioning

734
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: a goth. But he seems like a softcore go you know,

735
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: he's not giant chunky boots and and heavy black makeup,

736
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: but he probably I could hear him listening to death

737
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: metal and you know, I don't know reading marks. Yeah, Okay, yeah,

738
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree too important details from Nicholas Cage.

739
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: When a man had the money, he bought a dinosaur skeleton.

740
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: Ok I like that and when given you know, the

741
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: Marvel cannon to to be a hero, he picked ghostwriter

742
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: very very interest. Okay, damn see, I'm glad I got

743
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: two experts with me here. Well, he just did an

744
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: interview at the l A Times and he discussed all

745
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: kinds of things like his career, his relationship with his

746
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: unkey Francis Ford Coldpla, his kids, and you know, even

747
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: his new role playing Dracula in the upcoming film called Renfield.

748
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: And the thing I wasn't aware of again is that

749
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: he's a bit of a Goth. He sucks about his pets.

750
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: And this is where he starts revealing his Goth cred.

751
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: He says he also has a crow named Hoogan h

752
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: o O g a n who lives in a geodesic

753
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: dome at Cages Home in Las Vegas. This is a

754
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: quote from Nick Cage. He has taken a calling me name.

755
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: It's comical, at least it is to me. When I

756
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: leave the room, he'll say bye and then go ask

757
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: Crows are very intelligent and I like their appearance, Dudgar

758
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: allan poe aspect. I like the Goth element. I am

759
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: a Goth. I can't believe I didn't see this before.

760
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: I really love the idea of Nick Cage in his

761
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: lost Vegas home. Right, is he one of those vaguest

762
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: people who is constantly watering their lawns and they have

763
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: like a lush green lawn and water quickly disappears. There

764
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: is he like embracing the desert aesthetic where it's like, all, uh,

765
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: what do you forget? What we call those plants grew

766
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: in the desert succulent cactus? There you go. Do you

767
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: have a succulent garden? Which to me beautiful? And I

768
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: also like that he has a geodome for his crow.

769
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: What's there? Does he just throwing like rabbit carcasses in there?

770
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: Listen an entire movie on this alone, Like I just

771
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: want to see him get into his house. Like his

772
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: crow speaks, which I didn't know crows could do. Do

773
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: they speak? Or is he just imagining this crow is

774
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: calling him an ass? Yeah? I don't Yeah, I don't

775
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: think I found his for his home on Zillo and

776
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: it looks like it looks like Lex Luthor's f Yes, okay,

777
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: perfect chat. So you can see it now. This is

778
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: his former home that was listed at that like this

779
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 1: last summer. So I don't know if that's the same

780
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: as what he's gotten now, but this house definitely is

781
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: not goth. I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to take your

782
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: goth card, sir, if you oh, that is not go

783
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, no, that that looks like Kevin Kardashian's house.

784
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: That is very very What do you think his definition

785
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: of God is? Because clearly he's like like a crow

786
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: like Edgar Allan Poe. I'm golf like he just said that,

787
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, the talking crow very goth.

788
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: The miniature Epcot Center, and for the crow to live

789
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: in not too goth. I don't know. I don't think

790
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: squishy guys like if you's ever seen like the goth

791
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: girls who like other goth gear is pink, so it's

792
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: the same kind of like giant metal thing. I think

793
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: goths come in a beautiful array. And I also feel

794
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: like if you just identify like I believe he has

795
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: a dark soul, you know what I mean, Like goss

796
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: are some of the squishies people, but their souls are

797
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: darkly think about the dark things a lot and listen.

798
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: I think if you're going to keep a crow in

799
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: your house, there's a little goth in you somewhere. I agree. So, yeah,

800
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: he mixes it up a little bit. What what's a

801
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: more go thing like a skull cage or something. Yeah,

802
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: or just like some like wrought iron like that you

803
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: could trace its lineage back, you know, to the to

804
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: the Carpathian Mountains. Shit, right, He's like, this is actually

805
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: purported to be like part of like a melted down

806
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: collection of so words. Glad the Impaler has exactly yeah,

807
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, it's like, I'm looking at this.

808
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: This actually said it's stamped. It has made in China.

809
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: Right back, she's did they make them all over? I

810
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: have apology sells it. Yeah. I would love to scam

811
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: Nicholas K's on some fake godship. I don't know. I mean,

812
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: I want to say maybe one of his dinosaur skeletons

813
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: was fake. So I think I think the man can

814
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: be scammed. Yeah, maybe it's already happened, right, I will say,

815
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: though he's not nuts. Birds advice dot Com says, yes,

816
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: crows can talk in the same way as parents do,

817
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: using their synics, which is basically their vocal cords to

818
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: may make words and sounds say here and repeat them.

819
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: Despite not always being so close to humans. They're pretty

820
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: good at been making human speech without any mutilating, which

821
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: is why if a crow ever spoke to me, that's it,

822
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 1: Like I'll die straight fall on the ground. Don't speak

823
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: to me, crow, I'm already afraid of birds. I can't

824
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: you see that one with TikTok. I don't know if

825
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: y'all are on a TikTok a lot, but there's a

826
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: TikTok like that came out like six to go that

827
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,160

00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: like befriended a fucking crow and they were just like

831
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: crow like was always just checking for this person. Eventually

832
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: just like would fly on this person's shoulder, and god,

833
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 1: the crow fucking with me. I can't believe this shed

Speaker 1: And it was one it was like I got so

835
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: excited the idea of like having a loyal crow. Maybe

836
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm goth to fucking I mean it could be a little.

837
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: I think I'm more health goth health coth. What does

838
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: the health cos I mean that sounds fascinating. That's like

839
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: a whole sub like fashion style of goth of like

840
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: it's more like fashion like black like like you're wearing

841
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: like like life's like active Where, but it's more goth.

842
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, active Where collection. Yeah. I couldn't think

843
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: of something less. You up and you pull up in

844
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: some Lulu Lemon. You're like the Lemon collaborating with hot topic.

845
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: We got, we got the whole mall of represented here, right.

846
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: You gotta Jackson, you got Jack Skellington, Lulu Lemon, yoga pants. Okay,

847
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: you've got something going on. Another thing that was really

848
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: funny from this interview too, was like there's this moment

849
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: where he's talking about his inspiration, like in how He's

850
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: Gonna Model. He's playing Dracula in a fucking comedy horror, okay,

851
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: and when he was talking about his research for this role,

852
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: this is what he was saying. He's such an artist.

853
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: The key I think is movement. I saw a movie

854
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: called Malignant, and the director James Wan and the actress

855
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: Annabelle Wallace created this choreography that was terrifying. So I'm

856
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: hoping to do something like that. We're Dracula can either

857
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: glide or move like Sadako in Ringo. All right, love it,

858
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: I love it, love it. That love it that he

859
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: cites Stiko and Ringo and not you know, the ring

860
00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: not not the nothing. He goes, Yeah, very god right. Yeah,

861
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: he's an icon. I look forward to seeing what movements

862
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage has come up with, if he did it

863
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: by himself, where he got a movement coach to help

864
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: guide him. This sounds is gonna be amazing. Travel walk

865
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: He's that's dance and movement, So I could glide what

866
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: he's like getting like he's dancing like Dracula. He's like

867
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: really glidestepping. That might be actually something. I'm all for it,

868
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: you know I would. I'm going to be there. You're

869
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna be there, just the same as I'm gonna be

870
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: there next Friday when that movie where they throw Aliens

871
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: throw the moon at the Earth. Yes, oh day one.

872
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: So excited about that. That's that's that level of commitment

873
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: from me, Nicholas Cage, Dracula, Aliens throwing the moon at

874
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: the Earth, Day one. I'm there for that. And you

875
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: gotta respect the man's like movie choices recently, like he

876
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: was Spider Man Noir and into the Spider, very instantly

877
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: iconic for the it's a way to like just welcome

878
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: yourself to that generation. Then he did Primal, which was horrifying,

879
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: lee like gruesome and amazing, and then Pig, which I

880
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen yet but the reviews are out of this world.

881
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: So Pig is great. Yeah, check out Color out of Space.

882
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: Another in Nicholas Cage recent movie, It's his, it's his, uh,

883
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: removing the rampant racism but yet still doing HP Lovecraft

884
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: type thing. I mean he's got, I mean, he's he

885
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 1: is versity. You know, he's been in a Coen Brothers film,

886
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: he's won an Academy Award. He's got like you know,

887
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: he's no slouch with it. But he just sort of

888
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: became a meme over the years because he's had some

889
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: memorable performances and you can't flame him for that. And

890
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: also I guess, I guess it is kind of goth

891
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: to like be like deny that you're part of a

892
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: really dynastic famous family and like me, I'm Nicolas Cage.

893
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: Ignore my driver's license or it says Nicolas Coppola, same

894
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: famous the Cage. Therefore I am Cage. Is it even

895
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: the name choice of Cage is it's pretty good? Wow?

896
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: Wow Yeah, okay, I'm glad I got some We we

897
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: got to drill that down because yeah, Nicholas Cage come

898
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 1: out with some like a gothline. I'm sure people will

899
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: We'll be like what the funk is this? And then

900
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: some people like, you know what, it's legiti and then lastly,

901
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: I just want to touch on this Canadian truck or convoy.

902
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you all have seen the images

903
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: of like Canadian truckers who are like, you know, moving

904
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: along in this very they say thousands of trucks long

905
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: convoy to protest the vaccine mandates. They call it the

906
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 1: Freedom Convoy. Oh god, yeah, it's exactly. And it started

907
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: in Alberta, Canada, and it's made its way across the

908
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: country and it ended on Friday, I believe, in Ottawa.

909
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: And this has been a thing that the right wing

910
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: media has really like latched onto because they liked the

911
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: idea that they are also you know, ignorant people who

912
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: are anti science in Canada as well, that they're like, hey,

913
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: look what's going on here. Donald Trump Jr. Even like

914
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: posted about it and was saying like that this is

915
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: a genius idea, like as he was, I guess in

916
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: between doing bumps of cocaine or something. But it I

917
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: guess it was because they're standing up for medical freedom.

918
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: Elon Musk even tweets that Canadian Trucker's rule, following followed

919
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: by tweets that said that CB radios are free from

920
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: government and media control, like as if to like underlining

921
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: their cred But I would just check the FCC website

922
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: about that, because there is something the Mobility Division. Never mind,

923
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Um. Yeah, they're not controlled. Just

924
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: because you can scream ship out on anything you want

925
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: on the CB radio doesn't mean that it's not um.

926
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: And you know, again, the American media has been, especially

927
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: the right wing media, has been like amplifying this ship

928
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: and the whole like fake narrative around it. Fox News

929
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 1: they're like, we gotta get we gotta get a Canadian

930
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: person's take on that. They basically are just figured, I

931
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: guess all hockey players are probably Canadian like politicians. So

932
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: they interviewed this former player, Theo Fleury, who claimed who's

933
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: also like a COVID conspiracist, so he's perfect for this,

934
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: he claimed. The Ottawa protest would drop fifty thousand trucks

935
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: and one point four million people, which doesn't track considering

936
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: that about a half million more people, Like that's that's

937
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: about a half million more people than the entire population

938
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: of Ottawa. But go off, you know what I mean,

939
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: I get it. You all got support. Tucker Carlson even

940
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: had a whole segment saying that there's thousands of trucks,

941
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, like moving along the this this whole convoy,

942
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,280
Speaker 1: and some have said that this is a Guinness World

943
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 1: Record breaking truck convoy and that it's fifty thousand trucks. Well,

944
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: a few people who are near it did some counting

945
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: estimates are closer to the hundreds, not the thousands or

946
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: tens of thousands as they need. Because it's also about

947
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: lying about how big your movement is. And even though

948
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: the fifty thousand numbers, like Snops was like nopes on that,

949
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: and other people like even local police departments are like

950
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: actually counting and posting how many trucks and vehicles are

951
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: part of it. Even Number one asshole Joe Rogan was

952
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: even saying like he's like, oh man, like, look they

953
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: got fifty dollars, Like the country is in revolt. But

954
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: most truckers in Canada, Like this is such a small

955
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: pot like portion of our entire workforce, considering that about

956
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: between eighty five and of truckers are fully vaccinated in Canada.

957
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, it makes it stands to reason, what is

958
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: this and the deep really stupid irony of it? Of course,

959
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: it is just a fundraising campaign for neo Nazis like that,

960
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: of course, because everything is these days, everything is a

961
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: fundraising campaign for neo Nazis. Oh yeah, there's always money involved.

962
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 1: There's no real activism involved, right, right, it's always money.

963
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: But like they're they're complaint is is that the Canadian

964
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: truckers have to show a vaccine for vaccination to enter

965
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: the United States and and back again. But like the

966
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: United States also has that requirement, right, so so it's

967
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: not like if you can't, they still wouldn't have to

968
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: show a vaccine. They because when they get to America

969
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: they have to show a vaccine. Yep. So it's literally

970
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: protesting nothing. Okay, but you no, no, you're you're you're

971
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: you're saying too much real stuff out loud. Okay, that's

972
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: the cover because as you said, it is just the

973
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: neo Nazi parade, crowds of like these like supporters that

974
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: have been cheering. They're like waving Proud Boy flags like

975
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: they're going off to war or some ship. Other people

976
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: like who have just like Anecdoti snapped pictures of people

977
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: in the convoy, like in Ottawa they were flying like

978
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: Confederate flags off of their trucks, and you know, a

979
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 1: lot of like there's an extreme right neo Nazi group

980
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: was like urging the protest to quote turn this into

981
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: Canada's very own January six. And it's not just the

982
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: random supporters. The convoy itself has been organized and managed

983
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: by people with connections to these like extremist groups like

984
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: the Yellow Vests. They're a right wing group that wants

985
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: like Western Canada to separate from the western like the

986
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: West the rest of the country. And they fucking have

987
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: raised over six million dollars on fund Yeah. Well, luckily

988
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: there's too many questions about there, like who's how are

989
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: y'all using this? So like it's for food and laun

990
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: there like six million dollars fam we like, so go

991
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: fund me. They're like, we will release a million of it,

992
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: but if you're looking for the other five you actually

993
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: need to show like where this money is going, because

994
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: it looks and stinks like a Nazi grift, which ding

995
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: ding ding, it seems like it is. But the other

996
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: thing is that the person who launched this whole campaign

997
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: is not even a trucker. She was part of this

998
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: group called wexit that was essentially saying they wanted Western

999
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: Canada to join Donald Trump's America. And of course everybody's

1000
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: just loving, loving the proximity famously conservative Vancouver, California. Yeah,

1001
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, exactly one of the last places to legalize

1002
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: cannabis on Earth. Yes, it's again. This is all part

1003
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: of you know this, like they're finding they're they're finding

1004
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: their kindred spirits across the border and saying like, yes,

1005
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe we can we can do something here and make

1006
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: our both of our countries even worse. But yeah, it's

1007
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: just wild to see that this is like a fundraising

1008
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: thing for a growing all right movement in Canada. I

1009
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: just want these guys to stop over promising like a

1010
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: couple of hundred is a good number, y'all. You do

1011
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: not have to be out here saying thousands showed up.

1012
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: You're going to be proved every like you're obviously willing

1013
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: to be proven wrong because there's people out there that's

1014
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: all they do for a living. They're like, what were

1015
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: the numbers for this event? It's important to track other

1016
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 1: than that. Like, I don't know, it's having seen many

1017
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: a parade with the Confederate flag waving, I'm just glad

1018
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: we've entered an era officially where we can be like,

1019
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, know that flag is just straight up racist.

1020
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: It's just like we've removed it off that. We've removed

1021
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: it off the state flags now, so you know, we

1022
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: lost the war pretty officially. Hopefully we can all just

1023
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: move on and just acknowledge what is happening, Like, no,

1024
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: that's just Nazis doing a Nazi thing. Hey, but not

1025
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: my car. General Lee there. This time, I was doing

1026
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: stand up in Pennsylvania, Union State, Central Pennsylvania, Allegheny Mountains.

1027
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: I was on this I was opening for a conservative comedian.

1028
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how my life got to this point.

1029
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I am. I am a I'm a

1030
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: very leftist transwoman stand up comedian. Originally got started in Brooklyn.

1031
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: Now I live in l A. Somehow or other, I

1032
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: got hooked. I got connected with this guy. He wanted

1033
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: an opener, and I somehow I got picked. He was fine.

1034
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: He was, he was, he was. He was more of

1035
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: like a Long Island conservative, just a little bit of

1036
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,439
Speaker 1: an asshole but didn't right people. Yeah, like a diet

1037
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: racist exactly. But we go and we do this show
