00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: exactly what it would look like. Yeah, this is a

38
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: to do list that I discovered while cleaning out my

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: closet from over I think probably two years ago, I've

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,400

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: what find multiple mountains, but one of the one of

42
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the items on the to do list is just Havana syndrome.

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Get to the bottom of Just how high on the

44
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120

00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: like what havana syndrome? Figure it out? Figure it out,

49
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: solve the jfk assassination, Havana syndrome, climate change area if

50
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: you are one of my favorite jokes in the world.

51
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Shaun Kine wrote himself so he would remember it because

52
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: he knew he was not in a state to remember

53
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: it when it occurred to him at the time. And

54
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: it is a list of soy cheese names that make

55
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: me laugh like like a child, like I hear that,

56
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: I've heard that. I request that joke anytime I can

57
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: make Shaun Kine do it for me. And when next

58
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: time you talk to comedian Shaan Kina or listen to him,

59
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I highly that you shout out so soy cheese is.

60
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: I will just cite my favorite Monterey John I never heard,

61
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: but that was in a note he left himself and

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: discovered the meeting, of which I'm so thankful he retained.

63
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine just opening your phone to see the

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: phrase Monterey John and having no no frame of reference?

65
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: What are you thinking? Why has this been written? What

66
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: past self decided that that was a necessary note? I

67
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: remain never thankful that Sean held on to just enough

68
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: shreds of that memory put together one of my favorite

69
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: pieces of stand up material of all time. It also

70
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 1: relies on our knowledge that Jack is a nickname for John,

71
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: which the majority of the United States does not have.

72
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I will I will have you know as somebody who

73
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: is a born John who goes by Jack. Most people,

74
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: why the hell do you do that? That's straight? Can

75
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm like Catherine derivative, I can go so many ways

76
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: I think Katie and whatever I can't. Yeah, I just

77
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: can't stop starting with cats. But all the kate ones

78
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: are allowed to somehow. I feel like Courtney sneaks in.

79
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: I could just do it if I wanted. Why not?

80
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: If you're feeling sassy that's right, and Myles, you just

81
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: have a cool name. So you're you're like, yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 1: wanted to be DJ in the nineties. Oh god, yeah,

84
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: I was like, why don't I d J? Man? That

85
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: felt like the sickest name. I'm remember. I'm like, yo,

86
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: this name is bullshit. Why can't that be? Yeah, there's

87
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: other kids this Oh yeah, this one kid DJ was

94
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: from his like beach path as a human being. Now,

95
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: like this is what I'm good. AD always a DJ,

96
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: that's you have to swing in too hard. Yeah, came

97
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: back down from your choices as a DJ exactly in

98
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: a way. I'm glad I did not. I did not

99
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: pursue that name switch, and I stayed with Miles and

100
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: that led me towards them. That kept me on my

101
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: musical path. So yeah, yeah, very well, DJ could have

102
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: kept you on a very different music would have been

103
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: two on the nose. I feel like, you know, here's

104
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: DJ DJ like now, come on, personally love it, but

105
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: that's not a great indicator. I think yea, truly DJ

106
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: names now are like the best. Like there's a guy

107
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: named Trillbo Swagons who I've seen on bills and like

108
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: l a DJ Yamba Yobi is another one I love.

109
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Like those are just funny, like I would lean into that.

110
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, as a kid, like I remember I was

111
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: DJ under the name Prime with a one with a

112
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: one for the eye. Okay, yeah, what a time to

113
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: be a live truly the really nineties. I have a

114
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: long thing I want to talk about that we don't

115
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: have time for, about the name Michael in the late

116
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: eighties early nine and why I was having such a run.

117
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't have any answer. When I was in college,

118
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: we had to have multiple mics. There was Maccus in

119
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: Mike's second floor. Mike. There was tall Mike, there was

120
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: short Mike. We had to delineate the mics. They got

121
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: a prefixed handle. And also the most famous humans in

122
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: America were all named Mike and then the Ninja Turtles

123
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: came along, and the coolest ninja turtle was Michael Angelo.

124
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: It's what why? And then since then, no, like, not

125
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: a lot of cool mikes got Mike Pence. This is

126
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: a stand up that I'm working out. Yeah, yeah, go

Speaker 1: right now? Alright, Mike the fun Daddy. What is something

132
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: from your search history that is revealing about who you are?

133
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: I was just looking at my history from yesterday. We

134
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: had caper vinigrette, which I was trying to figure out

135
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: how to make for dinner. And then uh, and also

136
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: racist Dutch theme park was doing uh my friends podcasts.

137
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: And there's a theme park in the Netherlands called Efteling

138
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: that recently, after a long battle, changed some very racist

139
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: rides that they had, So I needed to bone up

140
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: on that theme park. International theme park controversy. Wow, there's

141
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: there's a couple of theme parks dealing with some racist

142
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: controversy that they're having to undo. Are the are the

143
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Dutch like crying over the fact that they had to

144
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: change their theme park like they do it. They were

145
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: really holding onto it, and this stuff was way more

146
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: outwardly racist than anything that that was, so like monster Cannonball, Okay, yeah,

147
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: you found it. This is fucking violence, Oh my crazy.

148
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: And it only changed like very recently. Yeah, And uh,

149
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's a whole it's a whole different culture

150
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: they have over there, I suppose, but they also have

151
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: like a very racist rip off of It's a Small

152
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: World with scenes of like Africa and Asia. I mean,

153
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: just like crazy stuff that this still existed, but and

154
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: then they changed that, but they kept Msieur Canniball. They

155
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: were holding onto that one. They finally changed that one,

156
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: but I wanted to make sure I have my facts, right,

157
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's yesterday. Yeah Monsieur Canniball For people who

158
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: don't even if you're not googling. Basically, it's like a

159
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: tea cup ride where all these like pots over fire

160
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: are rotating around a central like racist figure of what

161
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm believing is to be some kind of African person

162
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: who is going to eat the people. It's the most

163
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: shockingly offensive thing, Uh, that you've ever seen. As ever,

164
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that the photo of it is in color,

165
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Like that's how racist it is. I'm like, this is

166
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: before color cameras, right, yeah, and that and their excuse

167
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: was like, well, you gotta understand this ride was made

168
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: like thirty years ago. It's like thirty years ago. This

169
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: was not in the eighties. We made this back in

170
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: the late eighties, so you have to understand. This came

171
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: out right after soul Man was released in theater, so

172
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: this just can't be too offensive. Yeah, right, what the funk?

173
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god? I wondered was the ice cream cone

174
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: always there? Because he is eating an ice cream cone?

175
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Are you saying that makes it okay? I'm wondering if

176
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: they tried to make it okay by being like, he's

177
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: not just eating people. He also like, that's not like African,

178
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Like ice cream not necessarily doesn't mean he's an African

179
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: because he likes that, But it feels like police reform

180
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: where it's like, let's change this one thing. And it

181
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: was like, that's not the fucking problem. Like I don't

182
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: know was that he wasn't eating ice cream? What is

183
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Vince I think canceling plans

184
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: is overrated. I don't know at what point, like it

185
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: became a thing to brag about how much you enjoy

186
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: canceling plans online. But I don't know. I personally hate

187
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: when people do that, and I don't think it's that cool,

188
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: and I think you should. It's more fun to meet

189
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: up with people. I think it's it's cooler to just

190
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: say no, right, yeah, I don't cancel them, say you

191
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: want to nah, because then the person knows how much

192
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: food do you get? Yeah? Exactly? Oh yeah, No, that's

193
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: that's poor form, you know what I mean. If if

194
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: there's a head count and you've got to provide or whatever,

195
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: and then people suddenly like of the guest list, like

196
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: you know what actually nah, yeah, and everybody has that

197
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: one friend who doesn't like to disappoint people. So there

198
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: there maybe is like an automatic no, and there and

199
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: there yes is actually you translate it back to a

200
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: maybe in your mind. Yeah, they're like, look, John is

201
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna say yes, but it's a no. I know him.

202
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: Two days out he's gonna be like, hey, actually, I'm

203
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: like I already know alight, no, sorry, we we didn't

204
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: even buy enough for you man, it's I don't know

205
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: what you said. I've known you since pre school, man,

206
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: I know what, I know what. Yes, I got frozen

207
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: pot stickers and Casey decided to show up. That's gonna

208
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: be your food. It's a very good point. It's it's

209
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: a thing that I think it's been an underrated on

210
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: our show, and I vehemently agreed with that because I

211
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: do have social anxiety and sometimes it feels like a

212
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: lot to show up to a thing. But usually when

213
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: I show up to a thing in after the fact,

214
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did right. But I think more than

215
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: I think more. The thing that we liked about the

216
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: canceling plans thing was just was more so saying no

217
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: to offers of plans, because I feel like that was

218
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: the big pandemic shift for me, was you say yes

219
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: to everything pre pandemic And then I was like, nah,

220
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: like being able to like have my own boundaries actually

221
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: really important to me. So then on the other side

222
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: of it, I was like, yeah, you know what, I

223
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll be able to make it where

224
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: I used to be like I might, you know what,

225
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: let me check, let me look, And now I'm just like, man,

226
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna work maybe next time. I did have

227
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: a friend who was like an aggressive, aggressive invite turner

228
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: down there, where he would not only say no, but

229
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: like reply to the group email with all of the

230
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: reasons that he would not be doing that, and you

231
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: know what had to respect it. Oh yeah, that's brilliant.

232
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Were the reasons, like, you guys aren't my favorite conversationalists.

233
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: I mean it was usually no, it was not like

234
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: it was not like the Benchees of initiare And it

235
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: was usually more like he didn't want to drive more

236
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: than ten minutes, and it would be like, oh, sorry,

237
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: I didn't bring my uh my East Bay passport because

238
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: I will not be doing that. Ben What is something

239
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Oh? Uh? Specificity of the English

240
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: language see above the word clindrical what pretty good? Actually,

241
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: it was pretty good. I like the specificity of it

242
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: to the earlier statement about the German language just cramming

243
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of ship together and saying, you know, that's

244
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: that's just the thing. I think we wrote about this

245
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: like back in correct, like just the wildest words that

246
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: exist in foreign languages, and I think one of them,

247
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: I think it was in German and it might have

248
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: been in Russian. Was like a child like giving birth

249
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: while standing in an alleyway, like out of shame. There's

250
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: a word for that. Yeah, there's a word for that,

251
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: like just like the process of like it's not even

252
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: laying down to give birth because you don't want anyone

253
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: to notice. How come no one finish strates? How come

254
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: falling out a window is definistration. Yeah, nobody always there

255
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: for for when it happens. You know. I just think

256
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: it's I I think it's funny. I feel like I

257
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: get do not do not google German giving birth in

258
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: an alley way by standing up? Yeah, that's no, that's

259
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: a good note. That's a good note. I keep my

260
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: safe search on because I google some weird ships. Yeah,

261
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: it's just between you and the n S A Jack,

262
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: that's right. So they're like, we got he's completely off

263
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: the end of the jfk assassination. We got them all

264
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: looking up at German words and we just in his brain.

265
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: They have their own doomsday clock for how close I

266
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: am to the truth about the jam five second boys. Oh,

267
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: there's a specific word for it. It's like, uh, jack chronologic.

268
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: Helen directs you don't think. Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right,

269
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. Wait, but just to that

270
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: point though, I'm sorry because Jack, you talk about a

271
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: feature of the German language which I think does have

272
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: this specificity, and I don't know, I feel like we

273
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of specificity in the English language.

274
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: Like we we use a lot of words from other

275
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: languages sometimes to like encapsulate something, but we don't have

276
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: like these kind of like what we do. It's like

277
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: mash up ship, you know what I mean, you know,

278
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: the English language I feel like is we have we

279
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: have to use a lot of different words to get

280
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: at a concept. A lot of the time, the English

281
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: language is a bunch of people freestyle e for fucking

282
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: thousands of years and just going with stuff, you know.

283
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: Like so someone was like, like, imagine how weird it is.

284
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: You know, you're learning English. Sometimes you're close to something,

285
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: sometimes something's about to close that's fucking confusing, and no

286
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: one's gonna fix it. We're all just sort of vibe

287
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: in off that anyway. I love it. I feel like

288
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm still learning this language. That is one of the

289
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: things that comes up constantly when you have a kid.

290
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: The calendar less so in my experience this far. But

291
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the spelling and how completely fucking arbitrary it is, especially

292
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: because like my kids are also learning Spanish, and so

293
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Spanish just follows rules, so it's just like, oh, yeah,

294
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: that's how you spell that, and then English is yeah,

295
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: it just seems before he except you're like what they

296
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: seem to get distracted like halfway through words sometimes okay,

297
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: a level with you. English is a colonizer language where

298
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: we steal a bunch of other words from other people.

299
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: That's why the spellers are all over the place, like

300
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: shampoo is like like from the Indian, like an Anglo India,

301
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: like a Hindi. Words from the Philippines. You know, like

302
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: there's so many things where it's like what does that means? Like, look,

303
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: we kinda once we got our boats up and round

304
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: and we just started jacking other people's words an idea,

305
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't ever best people on it. I do

306
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: wonder like do other languages, like is there some sort

307
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: of like centralized body that is like that's fucking stupid.

308
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: Another colonizer France has a national body to just keep

309
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: their ship buttoned up on language on the language front,

310
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: true story. Well, I don't know if it's interesting. I

311
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: don't speak French. I just walked around Parish, you know,

312
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: doing like a white over bite, you know, like yeah,

313
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: like I look like I say my os right, you know,

314
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: right right right there, you go, all right, let's take

315
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back and we're back.

316
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: And Okay, it wasn't everyone, but it wasn't New York Times.

317
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: New York Times got this wrong as fun a lot

318
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: of like the l A Times all like these mainstream

319
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: media sources that love the people just immediately trust and

320
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: they're seeing their Trump coverage. They're liberal. Okay, yes, granted

321
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: their liberal. It's like, no, they're not. They are right

322
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: of center. Anyways, So the shoplifting epidemic that was sweeping

323
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: the nation, one of the big people crying foul and

324
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: actually crying wolf was Walgreens. Like I remember this being

325
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: a big story, like before any of them kicked it off,

326
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: was Walgreens. Was like I can barely keep them Dann

327
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: doors open in San Francisco because was a shoplifting. It's

328
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: just it's just the wild West tearing this family apart.

329
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: It's yeah, and it's like what everybody thought there like, so,

330
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: what's it like in California? Like you just don't have

331
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: to pay for stuff, You just walk in and smash

332
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: and grab everything you want from a Walgreens? Is that

333
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: how California is new? I mean as a shoplifter, Yeah,

334
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean you can do that everywhere. Though it's not

335
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: just California, free live, free, sovereign consumer as I called him.

336
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, there was this whole thing of like it's

337
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: destroying the economy in San Francisco and like they have

338
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: to close five stores because of the lack of law

339
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: and order. And this guy, the CFO, got on this

340
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: call and he basically said, they quote cried too much

341
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: last year about the supposed problem, and they've and as

342
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: a result, they've overspent on security to try and stop

343
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: the non existent bleed. And in fact, when you look

344
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: at the numbers, they said things got better this last

345
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: year for the company in terms of losses. They said

346
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: that as they call it, the charade of shrink, which

347
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: is like lost to to theft, fraud, damages, miss scanned items, etcetera,

348
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: fell from three and a half percent to around two

349
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: and a half percent, which is not good by industry standards.

350
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: As I've read but we knew this, and we were

351
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: saying this along with many others that don't rely on

352
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: the words of police and the c suite of companies

353
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: to shape their worldview. Like and the thing that pisces

354
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: me off is that the data was there. Like there

355
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: was a San Francisco Chronicle article that was like, I mean,

356
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: and other earnings calls they talked about how just the

357
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: cost of doing business in San Francisco is really fucking

358
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: difficult because of the real estate costs, and they expanded

359
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: too quickly and they're kind of like and that also

360
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: helped like make the decision that they were going to

361
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: close some locations down. So on top of it all,

362
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: like again, all of this was like there for most

363
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: people to see and just say, I don't don't know

364
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: if it's quite rising to this, but we were just

365
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: fed this steady stream of like videos of like people

366
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: like shoplifting at pharmacies and you're like, oh no, what's

367
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: going on? And now like the places like CNN in

368
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: the New York Times are writing articles that are critical

369
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: of Walgreens and like, my god, crunching the numbers in

370
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: their reporting to show the US that they were lying.

371
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: This whole time, Like, I've been to those Walgreens. Do

372
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: you know how hard it is to shoplift gum from there?

373
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: It's impossible. Yeah, they have like cameras, they have like

374
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 1: metal detectors, they've got security guards everywhere, and then they

375
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: have the mirrors all over the place. Right. The also

376
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: the shrinkage, like they use this term that's like lost

377
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: from theft that like I feel like always from George Costanza. Yeah,

378
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was cold water, but I think the

379
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: like they're always lumping it in with something else that

380
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: is less sexy, but it is actually the thing that

381
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: is causing them to lose more money. Like I remember

382
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: there was a Walmart story about this where they were

383
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: like blaming theft for a huge loss of like inventory,

384
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: but then people actually looked in and it's like more

385
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: more likely you're just bad at tracking your inventory. And

386
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: also you're trying to replace clerks with all of these

387
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: automated self checkouts and people are inadvertently not paying for

388
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: things or just like conveniently forgetting to scan something. Yes,

389
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: for me, it's inadvertent and convenient, and they're not. You know,

390
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: they just don't want to admit that because they just

391
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: it's a it's a cost saving thing that they knew

392
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: was going to be a problem coming into it. But

393
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: because the media, because these mainstream media outlets were so

394
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: gullible and so just willing to, you know, be credulous

395
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: that like, yes, theft is out of control. The pores

396
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: are coming and they've they're breaking down the doors and

397
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: stealing all our stuff. The pore little billion theres worry

398
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: about the great big poors. It's the same reason that

399
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: they love that, like those doorbuster sales where everyone's like,

400
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, pushing each other out of the way to

401
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: get the flat screen TVs. It's like, look at these

402
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: like poor consumers. That's there, you know. They love they

403
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: love a zombie movie. The local news, the mainstream media.

404
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: They love to make it seem like the poor people

405
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: are out of control and hungry masses coming in tsunami

406
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: waves with our claspers ready to take your detergent and

407
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: tide pods and other things. But yeah, it's it's just

408
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: all self created. It's just it's the thing that really

409
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: fucking takes my like mind, like blows my mind. Is that,

410
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Like they actually quoted out Carrick and Santis in The

411
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: New York Times like he's been going fucking head to

412
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: head on Twitter, like every time they post one of

413
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: these dumb crime way of pieces, and now they want

414
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: to fucking hit him up for a quote about the

415
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: media's lack of like attention on this or just like

416
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: kind of going you know, really casually along with the

417
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: narratives that were being put up by these companies and

418
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: the police. Like come on, he's surgically disassembled every one

419
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: of these articles that you have like published like in

420
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: real time, you publish it an hour later he has explained,

421
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: like what, okay, So this quote is from a cop,

422
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: this quote is from the Better Business Bureau in your city,

423
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: Like this quote is just pulled from a Walgreens earnings

424
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: call where it was like conveniently lumped in with this

425
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: other thing that you're losing money on. And just like

426
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: he told you in real time that this was bullshit.

427
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, you're I mean, I'm

428
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: glad they're coming around to the reality of their fucked

429
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: up reporting, but I'm I'm sure that's that's not how

430
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: they're going to you know, portray it or even like

431
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: perceive it. Yeah it's yeah again, I mean, this is

432
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: all again like you're saying all of the policy or

433
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: political points that were scored with getting the media lockstep

434
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: with this narrative was basically to push back against a

435
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: lot of the progressive d a's, Like Chase of Boudine

436
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: in San Francisco was ran out on a rail because

437
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: of precisely this narrative of like and there's no fucking

438
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: nothing in San Francisco, get them out. But you look

439
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: at the primaries and what happened in November, A lot

440
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: more progressive d a's got elected. So it's like this,

441
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, you just you can kind of you it's always,

442

00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: Times and CNN and others that breathlessly just paraded this

458
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: on and then now you're like, oh, that guy was

459
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: just talking bullshit. It turns out, yeah, they only caught

460
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: the like five times I've done it. Yeah, I mean,

461
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: nobody checks anymore. I wonder if the if it was

462
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: a bad strategy for them to. I mean, I don't

463
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: know what their other option was. A their strategy really

464
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: seemed to be like California is a socialist failed state

465
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: that has you know, the socialist d as have lost

466
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: the city, and so everybody elsewhere in the country is like, man,

467
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: California has really like gone to ship and you know what,

468
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 1: we're fine here, it turns out, and oh, not not

469
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: my progressive deal like that, because everybody seems to be

470
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: voting progressive when it comes to he is They're not everybody,

471
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: but at least the people who vote. So they love

472
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: doing that with California period, right, Like we have wildfires

473
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: and they're like, it's because of all the gays rubbing

474
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: class burst. That's California and they're terrible and it's God's hand. Yeah,

475
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, no, actually, our money is all

476
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: being funneled into the Midwest and that's why we have

477
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,239
Speaker 1: no infrastructure. Emily, I look at where I think, like

478
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: you're saying, it helps to have this like boogeyman to

479
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: point to it. Like, you know, I always use the

480
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: metaphor of the m Nights Almalan movie The Village to

481
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: be like, you don't want to go out there. Yeah,

482
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: it's all fucking weird and spooky, like you never you

483
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: couldn't even fucking fathom. But then, oh my god, don't

484
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: tell me the ending. Miles, don't tell intend ending ending. Alright,

485
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: but a plane flies overhead and that it all up anyway,

486
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: all that to say, you know where we we helped

487
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: fulfill that sort of myth for a lot of the

488
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: conservative myth makers who want to you know, do everything

489
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: they can to be like no progress is so fucked

490
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: up and bad, like it leads to Walgreens closing because

491
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: they actually aggressively expanded and relied on not paying like

492
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: proper wages and automation. Do I get that right? But

493
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: truly it is bad out here, So don't move that here.

494
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: Don't move to Los Angeles especially, stay where you're at.

495
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: Traffics fucking horrible, no front, that's that's real. They got one,

496
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: I know. That's why I'm telling them to funk off this.

497
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: This is the worst that's ever good traffic. I don't

498
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: know what's got back from the holiday. It's it's bad.

499
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: I've tried to go to that fucking Griffith Park Observatory

500
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: like three times, and every time it's like a fucking

501
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: it's like space mountain. You might get a three hour line. Yeah,

502
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: you have to like lark by the studio in Hollywood,

503
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: so close to walking up the hill. That's why you

504
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: gotta come to Medesk though nobody goes anywhere, And it's

505
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: it's so dumb to like keep going to the same

506
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: place that is that you know, just as beautiful as

507
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: like twenty other things. All I need to I ended

508
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: up just finding a bunch of other better parks and

509
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: take him up to the mount Wilson Observatory. Man, Hey,

510
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: so anyways, fuck you Griffith Park Observatory. I don't need

511
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: you anyways. I mean just skipping down to somebody who

512
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: is has actually gone on the record in court, being

513
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: like I am a professional wrestling character that you know.

514
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: Alex Jones, our writer jam was pointing out he was

515
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: doing some research watching the thing and noticed that like

516
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: one of the logos was how nine thousand like, but

517
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: it was is like kind of sweaty. It didn't make

518
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: sense as a as a reference, and so we looked

519
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: into it. And Alex Jones apparently is weirdly obsessed with

520
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: Stanley Kubrick and making the case that Stanley Kubrick is

521
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: like a right wing profit. A few years ago, they

522
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: published an editorial about how the World of a Clockwork

523
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: Orange bears an uncomfortable resemblance to our own. The film

524
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: is too bold, too brash, too brazen, and it's honest

525
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: yet stylized depiction of the foibles and failures of humanity

526
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: and our society, and too unflinching and its artistic honesty

527
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: and insight for like our soft modern world, which is funny.

528
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: First of all, it's funny to like take the entire

529
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: point of a dystopian sci fi movie, which is to

530
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: like show you a world that seems different, but then

531
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: the more you watch, you're like, ah, but I see

532
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: the similarities and you know, and just like say it

533
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: in a tone that makes it sound like it's a

534
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: conspiracy that they've done this, like that it's a secret

535
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: message that they're sending you. Reminds me of like the

536
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: Da Vinci Code, where they like took symbolism in art

537
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 1: and like reduced it to the level of like a

538
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: crossword puzzle where you're like, when you look at her hand,

539
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: she's actually pointing at a word jumble that's written over

540
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: here in invisible link that you have to solve to

541
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: to find out the clue. But also it's just ignoring

542
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't know fact, like it's too woke for our world.

543
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: And it's a movie that was incredibly controversial when it

544
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: came out in the seventies, like it sparked massive protests

545
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: and like Stanley Kubrick banned it in the UK like

546
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: decided not to distribute it. But yeah, it's just wild

547
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: to again, like the weird confirmation Bias set to nine

548
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: million or whatever. It's just like like every like, yeah, oh,

549
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: I can see it now. But again it's always having

550
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: to be, you know, bending towards whatever you needed to

551
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: meet to mean, and in this case, I just love

552
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: it's like exactly he foretold all of these issues, except

553
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure which side of this equation I'm

554
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: actually on. Yeah, And then he had Stanley Kuber's daughter,

555
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: Vivian Kuber on and apparently she's a huge Alex Jones

556
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: fan now and is yeah, I don't know, like violent art,

557
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: far right memes on Twitter and publicly proclaimed her admiration

558
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,239
Speaker 1: of Alex Jones when she came on, said I've been

559
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: listening to Alex Jones for many years. I know how

560
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: accurate he has been about what's going down on this planet.

561
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: And also she's wearing a headlight and a go pro

562
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: camera onner head and said that enemies of humanity are

563
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: running the world the world, and they might be extraterrestrials

564
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 1: and that was like in the first five minutes of

565
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: the show, which is just it's such a bummer, truly,

566
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: is that, like, I don't know, that's it's getting to everyone,

567
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: you know, right. Alex Jones also thinks Stanley Kubrick had

568
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: psychic powers, and that's where he got his movie ideas. Again,

569
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: just like Wild, just attempt by someone who's not creative

570
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: to understand the creative process. He must have been had

571
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: some someone sending him psychic messages like how did you

572
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: come up with Dr Strange Love? Five years before you know,

573
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: the the Cube missile crisis or a decade before the

574
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: Cuban missile crisis. It's like that there was It was

575
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: based on a dramatic novel that had already been singled

576
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: out by the Pentagon for its accuracy. Like repeatedly, he

577
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: just kept confusing. Really like Stanley Kubrick did really careful

578
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: and intense and broad research for all of his movies,

579
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: like the He the other thing, he's like eyes, why

580
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: should like I've seen master orgies in my time? By

581
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: that he like dropped that as an aside. He was

582
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: like when I was a teenager, I went to some

583
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Satana massed orgies and just like didn't didn't go further

584
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 1: into that. But he took the Eyes Wide Shut orgy

585
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: as like a sign that he was telling on actual

586
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: like orgies that Stanley Kubrick had been invited to, when

587
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: in fact it was like this deep historical research into

588
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: actual you know, rituals from the eighteenth and nineteenth century,

589
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: like how those things actually went down. Also, their conspiracy

590
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: is that Eyes Wide Shut was about like the real

591
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: illuminati and that like powerful celebrities had Kubrick killed because

592
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: he died right after completing the movie, which is just

593
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: doesn't really hold together as a like why would he

594
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: He had been working on that since like the sixties. Yeah,

595
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: they should have killed him before she showed him, before

596
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: he completed it. I like that. They're just like, yeah,

597
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: just the assassins are like, hold on, let him cook.

598
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: I want to see I want to see what they're like. Yeah,

599
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. Wait, no, we gotta finish it.

600
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: But then we got to punish him. Yeah. And also again, yeah,

601
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: the question of where he got the idea for Eyes

602
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: Why Shut could have been solved with Google. Like That's

603
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: the thing is so many of these kind of long

604
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: running conspiracy theories, and this kind of this comes up

605
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: in Poult Goldman as well, like the so many of

606
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: these things can be solved with Google, like just a

607
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: little bit of Google. Not even you know, prolonged and

608
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: detailed research, but just a little bit to be like, oh,

609
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: there are these four other explanations that also makes sense. Yeah,

610
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: I mean what you guys are talking about in terms

611
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: of confirmation bias, it's like, yeah, it's kind of the backwards.

612
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: You decide what the truth is and then you make

613
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: every bit of information you find line up with it

614
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: and kind of willfully ignore anything that contradicts that or

615
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: adds complexity to it. But yeah, I mean, you see

616
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: that happening everywhere. Well, and then I did wanna, you know,

617
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: just follow that story up with a story about why

618
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: that will be the last time that we ever talked

619
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: about rich people or corporations, because now they are suing us. Yeah,

620
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: not us specifically, but they're going after people who like

621
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: to connect the dots out loud on the influence of

622
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: money and better will work or also known as skateboard

623
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: b uh is being that. I just decided to do

624
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: that as a Farrell reference. But we all know, we

625
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: know he gets down on that skateboard. We saw him

626
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: get down in that word Burger parkmon um. But you

627
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: know he's being sued by this natural gas magnate in Texas.

628
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: Why did he do something criminal? Oh? He pointed out

629
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: the fact that the natty gas pimp gave Governor Greg

630
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Abbott one million dollars right after the governor signed a

631
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: bill into law that created a loophole for natural gas

632
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: operators to be able to opt out of mandated winter

633
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: ization of their infrastructure. Well, what does that even mean?

634
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: It's not like that could ever harm chains on my tires?

635
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: Should be like, how bad could winter in Texas? Did

636
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: anything bad happen? A couple of winters ago were properly

637
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: winterized infrastructure could have prevented the death of hundreds and

638
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: led to the robberies people, that's right, not dyeing their homes.

639
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: There was And then Abbott signed a bill like a

640
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: few months later that made it seem like he was

641
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: addressing the issue of like the winter storm, and he

642
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: was like, I want to make it look like I'm

643
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: advocating for Texans by saying we got it. We actually

644
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: have to get serious about mandating are like mandating like

645
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: the proper winterization of infrastructure and like not allowing these

646
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: operators to to price gouge people. But again he left

647
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: a loophole for the natural gas gang, which is why

648
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: the Tech and the Texas Tribune points to the natural

649
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: gas operators as quote the primary cause of outages during

650
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: that time. So what the funk is going on? And

651
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: what is this distraught man to do? For better Or

652
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: Rourke saying things like this guy's influencing the governor or

653
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: bribing him. Oh well, he pointed that out, the Greg

654
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: Abbott thing. He was just like yeah, he's like yeah,

655
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: he's like looking at it. He's like he's carving out

656
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: loopholes for his buddy. This guy gave a million dollars.

657
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: You think this isn't connected. This is directly relates to

658
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: his business and way of making money. And this is

659
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: this is the kind of corruption where it got. You know,

660
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: like any any person who's like running for office with

661
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: that sort of set of ideals is going to articulate. Well,

662
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: his lawyers now are saying like, well, you know what

663
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: they said, the this natural gas tycoon experience quote mental

664
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: anguish from comments ads in social media posts in which

665
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: a Rooks campaign suggested that the money was a reward

666
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: for Abbott going easy on him. What else? Tell us

667
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: what else, honey, let's soothe your words. Quote better Or

668
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: told millions of his followers that Warren engaged in bribery, corruption,

669
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: and extortion and that he profited from the death of

670
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: his fellow text and simply because Mr Warren gave up

671
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: perfectly legal campaign contribution to the candidate of his choosing,

672
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: Governor Abbot. When you look at the comments that his

673
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: followers put in on his tweets, they believe him. They

674
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: believe that Mr. Warren is a criminal that is engaged

675
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: in profit over the lives of Texans. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

676
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: so your profits. See the reason is if you spent

677
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: the fucking money to properly protect your infrastructure and prevent

678
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: the power outages for people which wouldn't have led to

679
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: their deaths. And you know, seem after the after the people,

680
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: that's the wild thing is like a thing where it

681
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: was like, hindsight, we would have really addressed that fucker

682
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: they are doing this and like paying him a million

683
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: millions of dollars campaign contribution after they they're funk up,

684
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: has already led to people dying, has already led to

685
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: like a national news like just disaster, like something that

686
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about, and they're like, yeah, okay, so

687
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: the next thing we need to do is, uh is

688
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: make sure that nothing no consequences are ever felt from

689
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: this right, I don't know. I'm looking for some silver lining.

690
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: Remember that are perfectly balanced judicial system is it runs

691
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: on a on a system of precedent. If we could

692
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: establish a precedent that mental languish is enough to sue

693
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: a politician for, then perhaps perhaps we're onto something here.

694
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: Uh maybe even cover I've experienced mental languish from every

695
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: overgraphee that I've ever experienced. Maybe a little class action

696
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: suit in that direction is in order. I've experienced, you know,

697
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: mental languish, and well, I remember, you know what, I

698
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: was in college and I had to get all those

699
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 1: loans because, like we we made tuition in a student

700
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: feast in the California public wersity system. Why don't I

701
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: don't remember that being sourced mental languish. Maybe the half

702
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: million students a year that were in school with me

703
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: in the state of California would like to get together

704
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: and see if there's a little something we can do

705
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: to compensate ourselves for what we suffer. You know what

706
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I just but if we could start suing

707
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: people for mental languish and that I I just think

708
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: that maybe we're onto something here. The mental languish and

709
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: if the judicial system wasn't run by billionaires in business,

710
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: you never know, let's let's open the doors. But again,

711
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: like many people are saying, like, obviously it's a bullshit

712
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: slap lawsuit, and it's you know, meant to chill the

713
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: speech of candidates or anyone who's wanting to point out

714
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: that we live in this fucking oligarchy. So you know,

715
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: there's that, and it could be a great blueprint for

716
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: other you know, very sensitive earth fuckers who don't want

717
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: to hear people accurately describe their actions. But yeah, it's

718
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: it's it's a little dystopian flip the language. Five. Yeah,

719
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: you told the truth about me, so I'm suing you.

720
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: It's just sent And I mean when you also look

721
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: at it to this guy, like this gas guy, like

722
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: he's in every he's making sure everybody's paid, you know

723
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like Ken Paxton, the Attorney General, after

724
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: the storm, he's like, we got to look into these

725
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: gas companies, man, what the funk was that storm about?

726
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: It looks like they were gouging the price gauging was

727
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: out of control. But since then he's refused to say,

728
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: like what's going on with that investigation? And then if

729
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: you look at the donations, the same guy, Kelsey Warren's

730
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: given at least two hundred thousand dollars to Paxton throughout

731
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: his career, so it's like he stays on the good

732
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: side of him. And then also the Texas Railroad Commission,

733
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: which is the body that oversees like oil and gas

734
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 1: and stuff in the state, you know, and like talks

735
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: about price caps and things like that. He's given like

736
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 1: over three nine thousand to like Texas Railroad Commission candidates

737
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: in the last decade. So you know, I mean, if anything,

738
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: it's just one of these weird things where you see

739
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: how it works. But again they're like, we have to

740
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: prove the intent in court, you know what I mean,

741
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: Like he was just giving to like and it's it's

742
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: this nebulous language that is allowed to for them to

743
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: have the defense. We're going, I'm merely participating in the

744
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: civics prod the civic process here and just giving money

745
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: to a preferred candidate without really you know, but we're

746
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: not gonna actually analyze what that means, right, And I

747
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: think that's what this is what this lawsuit could end

748
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: up boiling down to. Anyway, he's being better at work.

749
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: He's being suited for a million dollars. Yes, I think

750
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: that works just mad. He's not a baller like this guy,

751
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, that's and I think that's what this

752
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: guy is saying. He's like, it's just all these haters

753
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: they hate that we're ballers. Call this alb I feel

754
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: like we're this is the I mean, Chad's are finally

755
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: stepping up to assert their dominance in court, which it's

756
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: about time. I can see by the visual representation that

757
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: this is the apex of the white mail. This is

758
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: this is it, this is uh. Yeah, we're not getting

759
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: every Every billionaire looks like flaccid wet sausage. But that's

760
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: it's just something that happens. I guess when you have

761
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: that much money. Speaking of flaccid wet sauce, do we

762
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: got we got a fucking flaccid wet sausage, all star.

763
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: Don't look at this guy's picture. And I misunderstand. I

764
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: I saw in the document which you so kindly prepare

765
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: for guests there you've you've included a photograph of a

766
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: certain gentleman. And I'm still him for a billionaire because

767
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: he has billionaire body, which is about the compliment I

768
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: could give him, which I think we all recognize is

769
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: not printy. And he has like he has like that

770
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: vibe like when you're so privileged, like you still look

771
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: like a baby because you've never had to live still

772
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: like you, because you're not surprised to hear the stories

773
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: about with his haircut, that dodgy haircut. Haircut, Oh my god,

00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: Davis with the haircut? Yea, not Al Davis? Yeah, Al Davis.

777
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: Is I think it's Al Davis's son maybe, Oh yeah, yeah,

778
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: he's got that. He's got that really wild edge up,

779
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: like he's got a Caesar with bangs basically, yeah, like

780
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: real really yeah, guarantee he wasn't like giving an edge up.

781
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, the person I'm talking about, Mark Davis,

782
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: Al Davis, this one so worth looking at him and

783
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: the gentleman we're about to talk to when we come back,

784
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: not talked to talk about. No, we got him, we

785
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: got him, We got got him on the horse. I

786
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: love your worldview, man, I've got to have you on

787
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: the show. All right, We'll be right back and we're back.

788
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: And I did confirm during the break there is no

789
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: confirmed new Outcast album, just rumors. So yeah, an he

790
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 1: from just googling or about to google? Come old, I don't.

791
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: I can't tell the difference between when Miles was joking

792
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 1: and on anymore. But let's talk Oscar. Look like I said,

793
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm a great liar, like George Santos, breathless. They will

794
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: say things like out he has a new album, but

795
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: he's a bad liar. That's the amazing that he's a

796
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: bad god Republicans come is how the exactly let me

797
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: tell you about the scourge of biracial people. You better

798
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: with no except for mess misfortunate by racial person. I

799
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: wish I could change things that I could, y'all. But yeah,

800
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, luckily, I'm right. I'm right. So we're so

801
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: we're saying Santos is probably not up for an Oscar.

802
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: You know what we should we should just sucking ask him.

803
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: I bet he's got a supporting role in something. Yeah,

804
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: he's probably claim he was Jamie Lee Curtis actually and

805
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: everything everywhere all at once. One of the performances at

806
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: least was inspired by and he's like, you know, the

807
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: hot dog, those sausage fingers, those glass fingers. That was me. Yeah,

808
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: I gave that to Daniel. Did you never forget what

809
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: Daniel looks? But I told Daniel. But I think just generally,

810
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: as we talked about before, like the direction that America

811
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: wants to move, like the that like the mainstream American culture,

812
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: Like you can tell a stupid lie in the direction

813
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: of like right wing fascism and like right wing fascist

814
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: talking points and it's going to work for you. You

815
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: can throw a coup that tries to overthrow the government

816
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: and they will bury that ship. If that had been

817
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: a coup, the business plot in the early thirties, if

818
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: that had been a coup like to try and do

819
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: a communist overthrow of the US government that got as

820
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: far as it did, like we were, the heads of

821
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: the plotters would still be on pikes like in every

822
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: US city, and their family members like that, they would

823
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: still there would be museums to that ship. Yeah, they're

824
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: big country songs about it and ship. Yeah alright, Oscar

825
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: Nam's best picture. So it's a fun category. We got.

826
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: We got some hits. We got Avatar, The Way of Water,

827
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: Banshees of Inner Sharing, All Quiet on the Western Front,

828
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: the German film that came out on Netflix. Shout out

829
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: to my middle school teacher who made where you read

830
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: that book? Yeah, it's a it's a classic of middle

831
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: school teachers. Shout out to spark notes on that one.

832
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: You just gotta live in it for a second. Yeah, Elves,

833
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: which I think is part of the Santa Claus universe,

834
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: and I think that's Alvis Elvis. My brain, my brain

835
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: is refusing to acknowledge that els is in the Best

836
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: Picture category. But all right, man, we're in the year

837
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: of maximalism. It's on the list right there, next to

838
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: Everything Everywhere, All at Once, which deserves to be there.

839
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: The Fableman's which I haven't seen, Tar Top Gun, Maverick

840
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: Triangle Sadness, which I need to see still, that's like

841
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of the one on this list that I'm I'm

842
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: like excited to see. And Women Talking That Seems, which

843
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: is the title of a film that's not just some

844
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: random thing. Jack said, yeah, dude, that you have you

845
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: heard about that film? That one? I mean women Women Talking? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

846
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: I want to see that one too, for sure. That's

847
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: Sarah Polly, Yeah, exactly. For Sarah Paulson, No, Sarah Polly,

848
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: Sarah Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, there's some snubs. The best director

849
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: category is all dudes, right, you couldn't even get Sarah

850
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: Polly in there, Like you're bothering to nominate Women Talking

851
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: for Best Picture, but then you can't even be like,

852
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: and you know it might be one of the best

853
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: directors too, that made one of the best pictures. Yeah,

854
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: they were like women directing, that's too far. You know,

855
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: women talking will allow it's yeah. With The Women King,

856
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: which was pretty dope, kind of got shut out, like

857
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: there's it didn't get nominated for Best Picture, didn't get

858
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: nominated for direc Actor. Viola Davis was viewed as a

859
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: front runner for a nomination for The Woman King and

860
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: got snubbed, So that that one's pretty frustrating. Let me

861
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: ask a question, though, because you guys are way more

862
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: plugged into this sort of stuff than I am. Who

863
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: the fund is Oscar? Like, I I know, there's the

864
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: Academy Awards. It look. I think the old myth is

865
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: that it resembled someone's uncle named Oscar, and that's how

866
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: that that name got like put onto the statuette. I mean,

867
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,720
Speaker 1: I trust you, but this sounds like some Santos level stuff,

868
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: looking up, looking up. I believe you, I believe you,

869
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: But I just like the Academy Awards. Can we say

870
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: I knew we were going to talk about this. There's

871
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: a lot of great film out there, but it feels

872
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of rigged. Dare I say, like, I'm not plugged in.

873
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: They're not. I'm not in the Producers Guild of America

874
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm not getting anybody checking in on what

875
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: I think about films, merit, But like, how can you? Hey, hey,

876
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: but they do ask us about the I Heart Podcast Awards,

877
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: now they do? They are we are involved in some

878
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: award giving that's all internal. Yes, yeah, we're kind of big.

879
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: But but the thing is like, is the Academy award process?

880
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: Is it something that you guys would say is is fair?

881
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: Or is it something that's more like changing in the

882
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: wind of opinion. I just don't know. I'm clueless on this,

883
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: I think more than I think. The one consistent thing

884
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: that I remember Jack saying early on it was like, like,

885
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: include movies that do well, like stop looking at it

886
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: through this narrow lens of like cinema, because now like

887
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: this is like the first year that we're like, oh,

888
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: look at these blockbusters that are fitfully like part of it.

889
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,479
Speaker 1: But I mean, on some level, all of these things

890
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: are easy to influence because for the longest time, the

891
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 1: criticism was levied against the Oscars that they're just copying

892
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: the Golden Globes because the Golden Globes nominations would come

893
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: out before the Oscars, and it was informing how those

894
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: nominations worked. And then like they were starting to like,

895
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: we're actually gonna announce our nominees before the Golden Globes

896
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: like months out, and people like what just to prove

897
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: You're like, that's not going hand in hand. But I

898
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: think on some level, there's like a I guess there's

899
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 1: like an internal momentum that it brings people to say,

900
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, like that like how they're voting. But I

901
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, it's it's it's a it's an

902
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: industry that's like like rife with parties, fucking gift bags,

903
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: like you know, there's just ship like this all the

904
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 1: time to you know, create goodwill for a film. Yeah,

905
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: it's an industry award show. You know, it's like industry

906
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: insiders rewarding one another. There's like a weird thing this year,

907
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: like I think a lot of people are calling out

908
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: this movie to Leslie, and like it got there was

909
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: this big ground swell on social media of people supporting

910
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: the lead actress in this movie to Leslie, and it

911
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: was like Gwyneth Paltrow hosted a screening of the film

912
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: and like it made twenty seven thousand dollars in the

913
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: box office, so like nobody saw it, but like all

914
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: these celebrities suddenly like we're on board and like pushing this.

915
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: And I know some I know a good friend of

916
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: mine who is invested in like Best Actress the Best

917
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: Actress Race, like not not professionally, but just like cares

918
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: about that stuff, is like, yeah, she's actually like great

919
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: like it. You know, it makes sense that she was nominated,

920
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: but it does feel kind of suspicious like that there's

921
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: some skepticism that a bunch of celebrities all just decided

922
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: to start supporting their friend and that it wasn't like

923
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: some sort of pushed from an agency or you know,

924
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: some you know, some agent or like behind the scenes

925
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: machination because they want to cast this actress and something

926
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: in the future, or like because somebody is tied to

927
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: her career in some way that makes it beneficial for

928
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: that to happen. But you know, yeah, I think there's

929
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: always interesting stories behind the scenes that don't come out

930
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: come out for years on. I will say I always

931
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: say that they should be nominating movies from five years ago,

932
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: and I do think that they completely left Nope out

933
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: of any of the major categories. I think what's gonna

934
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: be what's going on with that? Nope was amazing? Yeah,

935
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be one of those things where

936
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: that's one of the movies we remember from this year

937
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: and that people still talk about and like it's still

938
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: a Halloween costume like years from now, and you know

939
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: it's but the Oscars miss it because they always miss

940
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: because all these people who are assigned to C. A. A.

941
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: Decided to sing the same from the same hymnal suddenly

942
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, man, you hear about this Andrea

943
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: Rise bro oh she's the next thing. You're about this

944
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: Tobias Bluth, Like it's like what the funk? Like arrest

945
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,479
Speaker 1: of developments just going around me, like, hey, you're about

946
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: this guy? Yeah, it sounds a little bit like conspiracy.

947
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: I know, it's it's kind of on the nose for

948
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: me to say stuff like that. I mean, but there's

949
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: I mean, look at just even like the celebrity crypto thing,

950
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 1: there's a dissorted web of connections with all that fucking

951
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: n FT garbage that happened, and like you're like, man,

952
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: it looks like the connective tissues seems to be Reese

953
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: Witherspoon's husband, right, but you know whatever, yeah, you are

954
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: are I think also the movie that people my my

955
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: theory on that one is that they didn't nominate it

956
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: because that they were they were jealous of how much

957
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: of a movie it was. So they were just like, no,

958
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: we can't, I can't have people seeing that. But well,

959
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: we'll see five years from now what what holds up?

960
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: I do want to talk real quickly about the Razzies

961
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: because that continues to be like a major headline like that.

962
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: This year they nominated movies like Blonde, the Marilyn Monroe biopic,

963
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: which also on a Day arm Miss got nominated in

964
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: Best Actress category for that. Also More Bious, which you know,

965
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: was a bit that people liked to do. It was

966
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: a it was meme. It was fun meme for a

967
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: little while. They also nominated a fucking twelve year old. Yeah,

968
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 1: that was fucking that's what what if that's not you know,

969
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: like that's it's you're supposed to do it like adults. Yeah,

970
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: I like going after the fucking adults in their own

971
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, who is that for? Is it? It's just

972
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: for that like Reddit forum where people like hate children

973
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: because you do ask like, well, what what was the

974
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: institutional like intent behind ridiculing a twelve year old performance?

975
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: And first of all, they've been doing this for years,

976
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: like they've they nominated Brookshields when she was thirteen, Macaulay

977
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: Culkin like three times, Jake Lloyd from Star Wars The

978
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 1: Phantom Menace he was eight. He was eight at the time,

979
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: and later later revealed that like bullying, that's traumatic, that's

980
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: that's bullying. Yeah, there's not really another word for it.

981
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: You know. The Razzies are complete garbage for a number

982
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: of reasons. They published transphobic jokes. They repeatedly referred to

983
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: Transformers Age of Extinction as trainees number four like that.

984
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: So that was like recently and they thought that was

985
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: like funny and worth putting it putting out there in

986
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: a national like a story that they knew was going

987
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: to get national attention. But at least they do the

988
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: thing the Academy won't do, which is nominate more black people. Yeah,

989
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: the worst actor of the year. What the fund is that. Yeah,

990
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: they've given at least fourteen Acting Razzies to black actors,

991
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: where in the same time, thirteen black actors have revealed

992
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: received Oscars for their work and in the same time,

993
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: so that's cool. They seem to really have it out

994
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: for black actors, which is cool. I mean, it's like

995
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: when you look at it all like the hatred of

996
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: like a boy who was Anakin Skywalker like racism, you're like, oh,

997
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: this really is just like the Internet found a way

998
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: to give awards basically, well, so that's exactly what it is.

999
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: So you you sit back here there, all right, what

1000
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: is this like bizarro Academy of racist creeps? And it

1001
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: turns out it's anybody like to vote on the Razzies.

1002
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: You just have to pay for an annual membership online,

1003
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: which starts as low as forty dollars, and you can

1004
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: also pay five hundred dollars and then I'll like try

1005
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: and rope in twenty five friends into like joining your

1006
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: voting membership. Yeah, yeah, and then they pay and then

1007
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: they find friends. Well I'm assuming you're paying for them

1008
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: at least on that first one, right, But then yeah,

1009
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: they become your downstream and they're next the next year

1010
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, really, the Razzies are wondering if you're

1011
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: going to re up with me to be part of

1012
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: my Razzie's team. We're actually having to get together in

1013
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: my place. A little later on, I thought of you

1014
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: because you hate kids and black people. This is terri

1015
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: It's like, where did they get their screeners? Like someone

1016
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: server where they screeners? There's it says specifically in the

1017
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: by laws there is no requirement to have seen the

1018
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: movie first. Yes, time to be alive. Yes, we win,

1019
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: We wait, we win. The whole things started out as

1020
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: a joke by one publicist and his friends during an

1021
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: Oscar party, which, by the way, if you know any

1022
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: publicists wolf that that's exactly where people sort of hellish

1023
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: origin story I would expect from this. But then it

1024
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: got picked up by CNN and eventually spread around and

1025
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: for some reason, these publications still of this ship Oxygen

1026
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: when it clearly just needs to be killed. But like, like,

1027
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: what's that I know, how much fucking revenue are they like,

1028
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like they're like, man, we got a

1029
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: cash cow of fucking internet A. Yeah exactly. I mean

1030
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: it's a it's the perfect award for our time. It's

1031
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: so aggressively stupid and like just zero thought put into it.

1032
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's about right. It's about right. I like

1033
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: how they the founder Maureen Murphy, said that they're like,

1034
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, we wouldn't have we wouldn't have nominated Shelley

1035
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: Duval if we knew how hard she had it on

1036
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: the set of The Shining. They nominated Shelley Duval for

1037
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: her performance in The Shining like one of the great performances. Wow, yeah,

1038
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, you're dumb as ship, But like you're like,

1039
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: if you you know, the fact the fact that they

1040
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: recognized her performance is better than the Academy Awards, I

1041
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: guess yeah, you know the absolute worst reasons. So wait,

1042
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: what we're saying then, is that we could you guys

1043
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: and our producers and me and all of us listening

1044
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: at home, we could fucking hack the razzies right for money.

1045
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, jeez, that's the way they do it. I

1046
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: mean it's like, yeah, go ahead, like you can try

1047
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: and change some ship. We're getting forty bucks every time.

1048
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: I think the most efficient one is to buy five,

1049
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: because that's votes, and the math works out better than

1050
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: buying memberships. So you would have to like do a

1051
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: go fund me or something and then just really drive

1052
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: towards some voting that And now someone who is in

1053
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: the midst of all this chaotic, terrible stuff in the

1054
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: real world in is like I'm gonna slide my five there,

1055
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, like it's very important to me that starvation,

1056
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: climate change feminists. Yeah, let's fix this. I'm looking at this.

1057
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: Oh wow, this art teacher with like new supplies for

1058
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: their classroom that that we're putting out the time on

1059
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: the board. Also, Babylon appeared nowhere on the Razzies, So

1060
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: I think they made a mistake. They know better than

1061
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: to touch police academy. I hope that's a great point.

1062
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I bet I wonder if any police academies were nominated

1063
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: for a Razzie. I feel like that's the sort of

1064
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: thing they would go after. No right there, because they

1065
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: would be jealous that somebody else like wrote those jokes,

1066
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: because like those are the sorts of jokes that they

1067
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: seem to prefer oh, interesting a part of me just

1068
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: things like no, that's sacred material. Man, I'll talk ill

1069
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: about Police Academy. I mean, as you got big for

1070
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: their britches, gentlemen. Police Academy for that called out, which

1071
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: is a shame because it's clearly the culmination of the

1072
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 1: franchise is that Miami Beach. Look, I'm not a doctor

1073
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: of Police Academy. That is oh that Citizens on Patrol,

1074
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Citizens on Patrol with the hot air balloon on the

1075
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: VHS cover. Yes, sir, I believe we have the cartoonish

1076
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: film covers. When when can we go back to that?

1077
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: I know the House Party reboot did it, and I

Speaker 1: was like, I'd like to see that that style come back, please,
