That is a bridge that 18 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: was like not only was it a bridge to like 19 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: mains in terms of like mainstreaming, it was like the 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: bridge for the end of the early nineties because that 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: literally have the song came out and then Rapp completely 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: changed after that, and I don't think that's a coincidence. 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: And also that video directed that video was directed by 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: Anton Ficula, who went on to do Training Day and 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: lots of I mean that was like yeah.

That's right. Yeah, It's crazy how because back 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: then you could direct videos for like five years and 30 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: live off it for another five and like that was 31 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: That's why people are always like, oh, why didn't they 32 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: cross over to movies? Well, they want to, but also 33 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to at that. Now you have to 34 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: do You have to make a movie a music video 35 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: and still pick up a shift at your day job. 36 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: It's the landscape has completely out that content, baby, that's 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: that's right. And Sweet Sweet Tent. Yeah, let who's like 38 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: the last great like the director who went from music 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: videos to film recent I mean it was the big 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: crossover event for Michelle Peifer fans. I think dude, when 41 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: she pulled up that chair in the video, I was like, 42 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: holy that ship was hilarious. That he didn't hilarious but 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: also very poignant. I was like, that's a moment right there. 44 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: Creo didn't he didn't like that idea. Apparently, his original 45 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: vision for that video was like just being shot on 46 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: like a city street, I think, with like cars and people, 47 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: like almost like a block party. And when the director 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: pitched it to him, he was like, you know what, 49 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: I trust you do, do what you want to do. 50 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: And he was very happy with it in retrospect, but 51 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: at the time he was like very like iffy about it. 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: And where it's that now, It's like that was like 53 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: the defining video of and seriously, you know, I mean 54 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: I went to see that movie in theaters as a 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: teenager based solely off the strength of that song. It 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: was disappointed, just like everybody else did the same thing. Yo, 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's even wilder. I've never seen the movie. Wow, 58 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean that is okay. That's the other thing about 59 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: that period in the nineties, you could there were soundtracks 60 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: that way out the movies. Yeah, I mean The Bodyguard 61 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: was probably one of the exceptions where both like really 62 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: did huge numbers. But like at the time, I remember 63 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: the Spawn soundtrack was like a huge deal because it 64 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: was this collaboration between techno artists and the big rock 65 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: stars of that era. And the movie no one gave it. 66 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: Who who still talks about it? You know what I mean? 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: Like nobody? Fortunately it was another one. Oh I don't 68 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: know if you guys remember this as a deep cut angus. 69 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: Do you remember that movie? Yeah, a lot of people 70 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: don't when I bring it up. Incredible soundtrack had like 71 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: every yeah that that had the Google Dolls before they 72 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: switched from being like a band to a pop band, 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: and like Weezer has a deep cut on there that 74 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: never I don't think showed up. I think it was 75 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: specifically for the album that I could be wrong about. 76 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: I'm not as big of a Weezer fan as everybody else, 77 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: but speaking of Google Dolls, City of Angels soundtrack really 78 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: punched above its weight. Oh yeah, that's another one. It's 79 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: not huge soundtrack. I think that even went like Platinum 80 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: movie also soundtrack, huge soundtrack. Yeah, they were like I'm 81 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: waiting to exhale another big soundtrack. Yeah, and obviously bas 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: Lerman's Romeo and Juliet. You know you had to have 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: that one that had two soundtracks that had a sequel. Yeah, 84 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: that's right. They brought out like a second when they're like, 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: here more songs from it. The only other time I 86 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: think that happened after that was The Fast and the Furious. 87 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: I think two soundtracks came out. There was one with 88 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: like with like you know, job rule and and like 89 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: everything that I Gotti produced. That was like the original soundtrack, 90 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: and then they were like, oh, for those of you 91 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: who don't like rap, here are the rock songs that 92 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: we included. Here are the white song from fest Yeah, 93 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: because they were like they were like, oh my god, 94 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: this movie crossed over too much, right, right, that's like 95 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: a Boogie Nights had two soundtracks too, That's right, And 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: that's another one. Yeah, what a time soundtracks the above 97 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: the Rim soundtrack also that that was the only movie 98 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: I saw on the strength of the entire soundtrack. But 99 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: then Park soundtrack to Dangerous Minds was was the only 100 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: one that like sold me just off a single song. 101 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: I was like, well, I'm not doing like I am 102 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: going to see this movie if it's the last thing 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: I do, because that song fucking goes What is something 104 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: from your search history?

I read one, 195 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: I was like, definitely two days. I had the same 196 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: exact thought. That's exact fear. Yeah. Well, and I honestly 197 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: I do want to throw it out as an alternative 198 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: to Hollow Scream, which I've never I've never been to 199 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: hunted to the Universal for their thing, because it's like 200 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: I've heard that you have to buy the v I 201 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: P for like three bucks otherwise it's not worth it. 202 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: It's also completely sold out already. But you know, at 203 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: october Fest, I will say the cheapest tick at the 204 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: thirty five v I P Is a hundred, But if 205 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: you look at their calendar, nothing says selling fast yet, 206 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: so I think I think you can. Because the billboard 207 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: literally just went up the other day. I think it's 208 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: a real last minute like, yeah, exactly, warn him five, 209 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: tell about it six six days into the fucking thing. 210 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, I do. I think the october Fest website 211 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: crashed my internet because as I went and was exploring, 212 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: clicking around, Yeah, my internet completely went down. I think 213 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: we're back, but usually this is four boding. This usually 214 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: means trouble to come. But well, we'll see how we 215 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: hold up. But I did want to mention on the 216 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: logo whose note do you think it was to add 217 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: a scary snake around his neck? Because a skeleton's body, 218 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: very very clean, straightforward skeleton hands holding a pumpkin and 219 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: like scary staff, but then there's a scary snake around 220 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: his neck, which just like I don't I don't associate 221 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: snakes like you don't go to a haunted house and like, 222 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: oh no, a scary snake came down. Totally. It's like 223 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: spiders or something. Snakes are too tropical to Yeah, it's 224 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: not Halloween canon at all. Right, you know, I wonder 225 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: if I think Shock might be afraid of snakes yeah, 226 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: he probably was like he saw Indiana Jones and was like, yeah, 227 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: I'm also afraid of snakes. That gave me. That gave 228 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: him the courage to admit his phobia. He's Indiana Jones 229 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: also free. Yeah, okay, alright, you think about how big 230 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: Shack is. Shack is a twelve foot skeleton himself, that 231 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: that snake must be huge. So, I mean it's not. 232 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: It's not an unscary snake, but it is Barkley's because 233 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: remember of Shack, Would's messed with Chuck about his fear 234 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: of snakes. Oh, I'm doing this as a diss He's like, 235 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: or if maybe secretly does and like during the notes, 236 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: like and this is the logo shock, you know, like 237 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: we're ready to print, and he's like, no, You're gonna 238 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: be really scary as a big, big snake.

Oh ship, 244 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: yeah exactly. What is something you think is overright in Madison. 245 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: I think cottage core is overrated. Like cottage core is 246 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: like basically, I mean, it's a style of dress, but 247 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: it's also like an entire lifestyle. It's basically going back 248 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: to like you know, old school, little house on the prairie, 249 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: simple living, living off the grid, you know, making your 250 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: own bread, your own butter, living off your trust fund. Basically, 251 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: because wasn't there like one of those people who were there, 252 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: like yo, like I felt there was a cottage core influencer, 253 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: people like this person has a lot of money, Like 254 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: so they're not actually I mean, like as they are 255 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: living off the land, they are also have a massive 256 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: financial safety net. I mean, oh uh yeah. I mean 257 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: it's crazy. There's a girl who I follow who's like, 258 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: I live in this cottage in a mountain range and 259 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: it's like the mountain is owned by her family. Oh 260 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: is that the one in Europe? No, she's in Washington. 261 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: I mean she's ba girl. But I'm like, girl, get 262 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: out of here. I understand, like Cassandra Olympia and Cascadia, 263 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: But wait, what are we going to say about it? 264 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: I just I just think it's weird. I think it 265 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, I understand like wanting to live more simply 266 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: like my my family, My grandmother lived in a trailer 267 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: in West Texas. I know about living simply and just 268 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: having to like make your own food and like go 269 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: get the water and like what you know, all these 270 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: kind of things. But I think it's like it I 271 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: worry sometimes like is this a hot skipping a jump 272 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: away from like being anti feminist like trad wive, like 273 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: barefoot and pregnant in the house of no electricity and nothing. 274 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: Right now, it's mostly like a feminine aesthetic, like the 275 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: cottage core. We're not seeing like bro cottage core yet, 276 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: where it's like we're a cottage for a couple and 277 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: he's out there drinking his home may mead and swinging 278 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: in axil. That's Portland's That's that's portlandt that's actually right there. Yeah. Yeah. 279 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: I think any style that is based on that just 280 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: completely coops like a version of history is probably I 281 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like fashion is where we get 282 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: to like maybe pull some elements from history but then 283 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: combine them to make something new and interesting. But if 284 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: it's just you know, if it's just like colonial Jamestown 285 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: or you know, people people cause playing I feel like 286 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: that that's a that's a waste of a fashion movement. Personally, 287 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: it's just it's elements of whimsy. It's not a fetishization 288 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: of fashion or history. Looking back on even like rockabilly style, 289 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: Like when I was a teenager in the early ADTs, 290 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: there was a lot of like rockabilly looks and we 291 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: were really harkening back to the fifties. But like as 292 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: an adult, I'm like looking back and I'm like, oh, 293 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: you mean where they like hose down your grandmother, where 294 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: where like dad was born in the colored section of 295 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: the hospital. You mean that that fifties. My association with 296 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: these outfits isn't the most the warmest of memories. It's 297 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: usually them screaming in someone's face and a German shepherd 298 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: like on a leash, fucking like yeah, like that's what 299 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: I but okay, that's it's funny though, too. Like even 300 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: with like the fast wave haircut, you know, like when 301 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: everybody was getting like the Hitler youth like like fascist 302 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: hair and it was like super fashionable at a time, 303 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: and it took a few people with like some historical eyeballs, 304 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: Like this is like y'all are just doing like Hitler 305 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 1: youth haircuts, just so you know, and then it became 306 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: then like suddenly like every conservatives like, yes I am fascist, 307 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: now thank you. I've like, it's not like you led 308 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: to the real reckoning of like gender norms or something progressive. 309 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: And I can't imagine that, you know, if I saw 310 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: people dressed up and you know, just like when we 311 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: see this ship on Airbnb, were like, hey, stay in 312 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: a slave cottage. No no, no, no, no, Like, don't 313 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: even offer the people the idea that they could that 314 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: they're interacting with such a sordid time and history. But look, 315 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: cottages are fine, you know, get your gunny sack on. 316 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: I guess you know. I mean you can also get 317 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: married at plantations and stuff like. That's. Yeah, it's weird 318 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: to me that the like in America, we don't treat 319 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: plantations sites or sites of former plantations like they do 320 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: Holocaust memorials like in Germany. Like it's not dissimilar. It's 321 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: actually quite worse in a lot of ways. I mean 322 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: not I don't actually need to wait into that, but 323 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: it's horrible both. But we don't even acknowledge that, like 324 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: these atrocities happened here it's so weird. It's like it's like, man, 325 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: remember like simpler times, like the dog whistle conservatives talk 326 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: about all the time, like you know how when things 327 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: were simpler, easier times, And it's like, well, sure for you.

And it sounds that description sounds bad, 406 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: but I will say they were incredible at what they did, 407 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: like playing seventies rock covers. Like the first song was 408 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: like I could have sworn that guy was Neil Young 409 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: had come out.

Three four on a dark desert highway. 419 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: You know what they're They're still here. Eagles Never Die, 420 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: Never Die, Never Die. Amazing. All right, Well, let's take 421 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back, 422 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, I just wanted to you know, your your 423 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: background is, you know, working in unions and that does 424 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: feel like a mainstream media narrative where there is some 425 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: progress being made, right, Like we're we're starting to see 426 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: public opinion shift towards you know, the people are understanding 427 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: the value of having strong unions. But I just wanted 428 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: to kind of when I heard you talk about your 429 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: story like union unions played a big part, and just 430 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: keep speak to that a little bit of how you've 431 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: seen the value of unions. Yeah, I would say that 432 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: it feels are we have a moment of arrival with 433 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: the union, which is great. Yeah, I don't I don't 434 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: know what it what's changed, But I don't know. It's 435 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: so interesting because it's if you look at unions, the 436 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: only place where they've grown really is is California, New York, Oregon, 437 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: in Washington at least's always been the narrative for for 438 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: me growing up. But I I do think that the 439 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: sort of the income and equality that young folks are facing, 440 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: I mean younger I'm thirty nine, but younger folks, you know, 441 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: coming out of college to find jobs that you know, 442 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: paying minimum wage, student debt, I think all those things 443 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: have really shaped you know, the corporate greed. You know, 444 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos being so wealthy and people having so little. 445 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: I think people see the union as like one of 446 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,479 Speaker 1: the main vehicles to try to change that. I think 447 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: it's very inspiring. But yeah, and of course, you know, 448 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: Chris Smalls and that victory was really phenomenal for the 449 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: New Yorkans out there. I was amazing. It really captivated 450 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: people's imagination. I think, yeah, yeah, And I I feel 451 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: like there's just a flagging of enthusiasm for the mainstream 452 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: narrative that has been sort of ascendant for most of 453 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: my adult life, like through I guess my teenage through 454 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: adult life, but like that, I feel like it really 455 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: kicked off with the Clinton administration and just being like, 456 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: we just let the market do its thing and it's 457 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: going to take care of everything. And I feel like 458 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: starting in two thousand and eight, we're starting to see 459 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: kind of a flagging of that and now just hearing 460 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: more and more stories of people like I think you 461 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: talked about your first experience where where you were thinking 462 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: about going to college and you were instead kind of 463 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: asked to play a part with hotel workers union, and 464 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: just like the night and day difference you saw between 465 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, how the bosses and the powers that be 466 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: in that instance treated you right like once there was 467 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: the possibility of of organization. Can you talk about that 468 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: story a little bit, Yeah, absolutely, So I was it 469 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: was my my last year at college. I was a 470 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: working student. So I worked this hotel, this non union 471 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: hotel job from high all the way through high school 472 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: and college and my senior year, I'm like getting ready 473 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: to go to law school and I was literally doing 474 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: my house at prep course and I had it books. 475 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: I was going to take it in June or so July, 476 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: and the union came to my workplace. I said, you know, 477 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: I want to want to organize. I met with the organizer, 478 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, just to give this story very quickly, you know, 479 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: we we were doing on this under secret, and finally 480 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: came the day where we were revealed ourselves right that 481 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: we were organizing the union. And we came in with 482 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: like thirty five forty workers demanding respect. And I was 483 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: off that day, and so I came and I did 484 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: that and I left. And then a few days later 485 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: I came back to work and I thought I was 486 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: gonna get fired. And I was like, oh, they're gonna 487 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: fire me, you know, I don't know what's gonna happen, 488 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: and it was quite the opposite, right. The managers were like, 489 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: what did we do wrong? You know, how can we 490 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: make it better? What can we do for you? And 491 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 1: for me it was very clear because I was always 492 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: very outspoken as a worker. My managers would try to 493 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: say things and I would be like, actually, you know, 494 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: the law says this, you know, because they knew I 495 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: was I was going to go to I was going 496 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: in law school. But it never changed the way they 497 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: treated because they understood, we have the power. We haven't 498 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: all right, we can write you up, we can discipline you. 499 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: You you know who cares, right, But it wasn't until 500 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: we did this collective action that they were freaked out. 501 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: You know, they just they did They just completely started 502 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: respecting us. And so eventually we won our first contract, 503 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: and you know, people didn't have health insurance and now 504 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: they had health insurance. We had low wages. You know, 505 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: I used to beg to get a five cent raise, 506 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, fifty cent raise, we're getting like we got 507 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: dollar raises for the first time, you know, and all 508 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: these amazing things. And I was like, wow, like collective 509 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: power works, and it was just so life changing for 510 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: me and I think people that go through that experience, 511 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: it's sort of like it's an awakening. It's like wow, 512 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: like I you can actually change the conditions that we're 513 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: that you know, that are around is every single day, 514 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: and so so yeah, it became my left calling. That's 515 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: really cool. Yeah, and I feel like that really does 516 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: tie into like the you know trying we on this show, 517 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: we try and you know, pay attention to those like guys, 518 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: And it does feel like there is a just general 519 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: waking up to the reality of the situation that when 520 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: corporate power has thing to oppose them, they are going 521 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: to do things that are bad for people, you know, 522 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: and just good for the bottom line if unchecked. So yeah, 523 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: it is definitely good to see that and hopefully you know, 524 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: you and everybody can kind of keep up, keep up 525 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: that fight. So I wanna, I wanna take a quick look, 526 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: quick trip into the past to look at something that 527 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: I had never thought about, but that was sort of 528 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: a local battle in the nineteen twenties that has really 529 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: shaped the world we live in, and that is jaywalking laws. 530 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: So that this is in the news because California will 531 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: soon decriminalize jaywalking, the traffic violation, not the jay Leno 532 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: Tonight Show segment which should should be made illegal. I 533 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: think they should do it just a trade of that 534 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: jaywalking is illegal. This jaywalking is no longer, but the 535 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: Freedom to Walk Act will go into effect on January one, 536 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: And it's a good thing because jaywalking laws are I 537 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: think the legal term is fucking stupid. They disproportionately. They 538 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: also just give the police the ability to, you know, stop, 539 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: It's an opportunity for them to just stop people whoever 540 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: they want. It's more opportunity for the police to go 541 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: after marginalized and low income residents. Yea. So my question 542 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: with jaywalking laws specifically when because I feel like it 543 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: has been a colloquial like funny ha ha as like 544 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: a young adult growing up of being like, oh, you know, 545 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: you can get arrested for jaywalking, but you cross the street, 546 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: no one's ever bothered you, Like are the reason they're 547 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: decriminalizing it now is because they are still actively picking 548 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: up people on the sides of the road, Like, is 549 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: it that you can get arrested for being on the 550 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: side the road? Is it that you can be arrested 551 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: for just because I always think of it as like 552 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: you're crossing the sidewalk when it says red light, you know. 553 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: But now that I've been you know, kind of perusing 554 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: the dock, it seems to me that they can and 555 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: will target on house people often of jay walking, so 556 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: to speak. But really it's just because they don't want 557 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: them around, right, Yeah, I mean, so I think this 558 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: is in in California as an example of of actual 559 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: progress and people recognizing that this has just been Uh. 560 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:31,239 Speaker 1: In twenty nine of illegal walking tickets issued by New 561 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: York police were two black and Hispanic people, So that 562 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: makes sense to me. And it's fucked up as a 563 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: walking city where I mean, most people don't have cars 564 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: and most people can't you know, like they have to 565 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: get wherever they need to go. And that's crazy to 566 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: me to think that I could ever be ticketed in 567 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: a city like New York where everybody is frequently on 568 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: the street at all times, and and the laws actually 569 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: don't do anything to pretend people Like in the UK, 570 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: for example, jaywalking isn't illegal, but in eleven they had 571 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: half as many pedestrian deaths per one thousand people as 572 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: in the US. So I think it's like the question 573 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: that this raised to me is not like why are 574 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: they making this legal now? And more why why was 575 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: this ever a thing? Like how did this ever become 576 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: a thing that you that they can police and arrest 577 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: you you based on like where you are walking and 578 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: how you are walking. It does begging the question of 579 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was just offline conversations I've 580 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: been having over the week or also I feel like 581 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: we were talking about it when it comes to like 582 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: the white flight and the suburbs, and how suburbs are 583 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: so designed for you not to be like walkable. They're 584 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: like walkable in the neighborhood, so to speak, but like 585 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: if you were to walk to the other neighborhood, you 586 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: can't really do that, like you need a vehicle. Like 587 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: is it also to police people in the suburbs so 588 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: that there are aren't fragrant you know, people in those 589 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: neighborhoods You think, I'm sure, I'm sure there that is 590 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: it's used in that way, like the police use any 591 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: law as a tool to you know, go after whoever 592 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: they want to go after. But it actually so before 593 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: the nineties, everybody could use the streets, which crazy content. 594 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem crazy to me, like it seems I 595 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: really like as somebody who is coming to the point, 596 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: and you know, my kids lives where I'm trying to 597 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, I I lived in the suburbs, and you know, 598 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: not not a big city, like a suburb of Dayton, Ohio, 599 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: and I my life was spent just like getting on 600 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 1: a bike and riding around in the streets, and like 601 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: my parents were just like all right, I'd be back 602 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: when when it's dark, and like the the idea of 603 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: my kids just going out and being able to ride 604 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: around on bikes, like I feel like I have to 605 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: like go to an abandoned parking a lot to like 606 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: teach them how to ride a bike. And there's just 607 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: so like it it doesn't even and and even walking 608 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: around our neighborhood, you know, there's just so like the 609 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: cars really own the streets in most major cities. And 610 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: this is all the result of the nine twenties. So 611 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: the thing that happened was, you know, in the n 612 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: cars were basically seen as a rich person's like hobby. 613 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: They were like yachts because they're so expensive, and they 614 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 1: started running over mostly children and elderly people in cities 615 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: and the so the city's at a local level, like 616 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: fought back. Cincinnati had a big, you know referendum where 617 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: they tried to make it so that cars could not 618 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: go over twenty five miles per hour just at the 619 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: like manufacturing level. They were like, please, this is you're 620 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: you're killing people. And that resulted in the automakers kind 621 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: of coming together, you know, taking their own collective action 622 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: and creating you know, affecting these laws. And because there 623 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: wasn't like collective action on behalf of children and elderly 624 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: people who just want to be able to walk down 625 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 1: like in their neighborhood, they were able to slowly over 626 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: the course of a hundred years, just like create the 627 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: world that we have now where it's very strict pedestrian controls. 628 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: They invented jay walking.

Yeah, And 686 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: it's it is, you know, the stuff that when when 687 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 1: we talk about like acting locally, but like a lot 688 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 1: of times the foe that you're operating against is power, 689 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: powerful and either you know, national or international, you know. 690 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: And so that's just the the organizing on behalf of 691 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: people and you know, the communication having media that isn't 692 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: just straight up controlled by these same you know, by 693 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,959 Speaker 1: the same profit motive, like the the auto industry group 694 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: that took control of a series of meetings that were 695 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: like meant to discuss this problem was headed by Herbert Hoover, 696 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: who was then the Secretary of Commerce, to create a 697 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: model traffic law that could be used by cities across 698 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: the country. But due to their influence, the product of 699 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 1: those meetings was largely based off traffic laws in l A, 700 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: which had already kind of enacted the strict pedestrian controls. 701 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: So these powerful people are acting on behalf of the 702 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: most powerful thing and in the country, which is the 703 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 1: whatever is going to make the most money, was the government. 704 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: And the government acts on behalf of whoever is going 705 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: to make the most money. You know, Herbert Hoover wasn't 706 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: acting on behalf of like the children who had lost 707 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: a city bling to because you know, somebody was racing 708 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: around on their horseless carriage. He was acting on behalf 709 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: of the you know, he was the Secretary of Commerce, 710 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: so his job was to act on behalf of commerce, 711 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: and and that became you know, he became president so well. 712 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: And it's one of those things. I mean, it's a 713 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: tale as old as time in American history of like, well, 714 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: it's not going to affect me because I have money. 715 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: You know. It's like those people in power and those 716 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: very high seats that pockets are lined by all these 717 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: different you know, head honchos and investors and things like that. 718 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, they're like, whatever I 719 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 1: do to make a decision that is benefiting my pockets. 720 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: I know, even though it's abhorrent and it's going to 721 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: hurt children or whatever, they're not gonna hurt my children 722 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: because I have the money to fix this problem in 723 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: my home, which is so fuck up. Yeah. Well, I 724 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,919 Speaker 1: find it very interesting that people are starting to deconstruct 725 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: the laws that were in it over time and the 726 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: facts like this. I thank the Internet for this because 727 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 1: you imagine, growing up, all we had was Britannica in 728 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: the library. So the fact we have so much information 729 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: now we can actually dissect it and look at it. 730 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: But I think the very interesting thing is how, you know, 731 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: sort of the how sort of how white supremacy and 732 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: like these laws show up in the on the sort 733 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: of the policing. And so I'm very proud that we 734 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: did this in California. You know, hopefully it could be 735 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: a model for folks because you know it is they 736 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: do target you know, black and brown folks or working 737 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: class folks. So yeah, I mean even super Producer put 738 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: in the chat Tupax to the Oakland Police Department for 739 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: ten million for stopping him while jaywalking and choking him 740 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: out for resisting arrest like black and brown, no matter 741 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: the pockets eyes. That is absolutely insane. Yeah, and I 742 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: think you're right that we're starting a movement in the 743 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: opposite direction. We're starting to see movement in the opposite 744 00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,080 Speaker 1: direction of people having access to more information than I 745 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: would have in the past. When you know, in the 746 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: nineteen twenties, like it's there. There aren't like a bunch 747 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:12,320 Speaker 1: of like radical zines or you know, the radio shows 748 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: were like brought to you by Jared All and they 749 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: were just like you know, cowboys shows or some ship. 750 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, hopefully, hopefully this can kind of we can 751 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: kind of continue this this movement in this direction, and 752 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: you know, small victories at a local level today, like 753 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: could you know, if you if you look at how 754 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,760 Speaker 1: different things went from the nineteen twenties to the twenties 755 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,439 Speaker 1: where used to be people could walk around and feel 756 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: safe walking around, and when you know, the ultra wealthy 757 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: were running children, you know, the the children of poor, 758 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,800 Speaker 1: underrepresented people down in their yachts like that, there was 759 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,439 Speaker 1: a backlash and and now we live in a world 760 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,760 Speaker 1: where that that seems completely out of out of bounds. 761 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: Like maybe with this new access to information and new 762 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 1: movements at the local level, like small victories now can 763 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: create a future that is unrecognizable to us a hundred 764 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 1: years from now, in in a good way. Yeah, absolutely, 765 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: knock on wood. All right, let's take a quick break 766 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: and then we'll come back and talk about the thing 767 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: that I think everybody's really wanting to hear, the away 768 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: and on Mario's dumper, and we're back and yeah.

The 825 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: reason that people are screaming fucking murder is because the 826 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 1: organizer of the tournament notice some thing was amiss while 827 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 1: with the caught fish that the tournament's winners had presented. 828 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: When they like, they had to weigh the fish, so 829 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: he got his knife out, cut the fucking fish open 830 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: and pulled out a bunch of lead weights. Like you 831 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,920 Speaker 1: can see it in the clip. The guy's just slicing 832 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 1: them open. I'll play the clip for you because when 833 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: they're also slicing the things open, the fucking like it. 834 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: It goes to a whole other level when people realize 835 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: the guy just gutted it and pulled fucking lead weights out, 836 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: open it down, cutting it. He's about to pull him 837 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: out single so lead weights in the fish's stomachs that 838 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 1: were hidden, and you don't know that the fish didn't 839 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 1: eat them, that's true, you're right? And how did they 840 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: also eat other filets of other walleyes? Do they have 841 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,439 Speaker 1: a filet knife and then they cannibalize each other because 842 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,399 Speaker 1: another fish was just stuffed with more wally like? Fully 843 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,839 Speaker 1: know that was that was? They were stuck with other 844 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:14,320 Speaker 1: fish filets and a good idea the fish a good idea. 845 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 1: I also read another one where we're just like stuff 846 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of bait into their stomach so that then 847 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,839 Speaker 1: people stuff with ice, so the evidence melts after they weigh. Right, 848 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,480 Speaker 1: there's a there's so many ways to do this right, 849 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: like of and the thing is, these guys have been 850 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,240 Speaker 1: winning like over two million dollars like over their careers, 851 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 1: and when you like they were about to walk off 852 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 1: with thirty thousand that day if they if no one 853 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: was wise to their ship. But and like with the 854 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 1: entry fees being between like the hundreds of dollars and 855 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars, you can see why these guys are 856 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: fucking pissed. Because you get a boat, there's fucking sponsorships, 857 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: there's all this money that comes along with like winning 858 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: these tournaments, and a lot of people have been like, 859 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't fucking get it, these fucking guys.
